Excerpt from Memoirs of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Dissolution of the 1st Parliament of Charles II Till the Capture of the French and Spanish Fleet at Vigo The following Memoirs were undertaken by the advice of the Person to whose memory they are inscribed. He used to call himself a fugitive from the muses: And indeed, amidst his vast variety of business, he still sacrificed to them in secret. He advised me also not to trust to printed books for materials, but to get access to original papers. I followed advices which to me had the authority of commands, because they were always kind, and always just, and I procured materials in England, Scotland, and France, far superior to what any single person has hitherto been able to obtain. I am nevertheless conscious that they are not equal to the dignity of the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
