Excerpt from Life of Oliver CromwellIN the Life of King Charles I., I have related the downfall of an ancient monarchy, and the violent death of a king who was worthy of respect, although he governed his people badly and nu justly. I have now to relate the vain cii'orts of a revolutionary assembly to found a republic, and to describe the ever-totterincn, but strong and glorious government of a revolutionary despot, whosel bold and prudent genius commands our admiration, although lief attached and destroyed, first legal order, and then liberty, in his native land. The men whom God chooses as the instruments of his great designs are full of contradiction and of mystery: in them are mingled and combined, in undiscoverable proportions, capa bilities and failings, virtues and vices, enlightenment and error.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
