Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

But, as new material came to light, the writers were fascinated by the study of the records of the seventeenth century. Then, as the personality of the man emerged from the obscurity of ancient manuscript and faded pamphlet, it was thought possible that others might feel an interest in a career which, to some extent, was typical of those of the less prominent soldiers of the Commonwealth. Finally, it was felt that the part played by Colonel Whetham in the confused and shifting combinations of 1659 tnrew light on the changes which cleared the way for the freely elected Parliament of 1660, and enabled the country, by an overwhelming voice, to recall its exiled King.
