"A Diary of the Parliament of 1626"
English Historical Review, XVII (1902), 730-745
"This diary, possibly the work of Bulstrode Whitelock, is printed here in part from a manuscript in Cambridge University Library. It is unfortunate that is has not been fully printed. The selections do not cover the same ground as Lowther's Notes which deal with part of the same Parliament.
VALUE: A useful source which would be even more useful if printed in full." |
