Synopsis

Excerpt from Eikon Basilike

On May sth, 1646, Charles surrendered himself into the hands of the Scotch Army at Newark. Soon afterwards the English Army appointed Holmby House for his residence. There he was well treated, and consulted his favourite authors. Passing over the incidents of his capture, and the Hampton Court period, we next find him at Carisbrooke under Colonel Hammond. The latter, as governor, had exceptional facilities for studying the habits of his royal prisoner, and it is remarkable that it is from him that we get the following important testimony Part of that book, if not the whole, was writ when he was my prisoner in Carisbrook Castle, where I am sure hehad nothing but a Bible, pen, ink and paper; and going to call him out of his closet to dinner, which I always did, I found him still a-writing, and staying behind to see What he writ, the paper being still wet with ink, I read at several times most of that book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
