Scrap 5. "These are written on a Strip of Paper was enclosed in a Letter." (Correspondent.) "Copied as they stood in the original Paper. About the treasure going to London" (see antea, No. 16); "and I think, from the contents, took [had taken] College treasure." (Correspondent.) Scrap 6. "List of Names written on a Paper marked, Hearty. I have written them alphabetically for convenience, but they were not so in the Original." (Correspondent.) 66 "These several Lists are all that I copied; but I think the List 3" (Scrap 2 as given here) "contains names of the original Captains [and Subalterns] of Troops in the Ironsides; but I cannot say for certain. The large List" (Scrap 4) was too far gone to touch, as it was perfectly red with damp, and rotten; so was burnt. These were in Letters and odd Papers. I have no others copied that I can find in my travelling Writingdesk; so suppose they are all I took." (Correspondent.) Scrap 7. "Written on a Letter, and marked Settled." (Correspondent.) Scrap.8.

Squire's Conspectus of the "St. Neot's Troop" is to be seen in Scrap 3. Captain Montague obtained Commission to raise a regiment of his own, "on the 20th August 1643," says Collins* which I think, as "20th August" was a Sunday, - * Peerage (1741), ii. 281. can hardly have been the exact day! However, raise a regiment he did, and even regiments; and here is Note of the first of them, in Squire's handwriting: Joined Montague's Lanciers. Walter [his name Wm. Partrige illegible] John Palmer Gabriel Womac Collins Collins Lemuel Gilbert May 24, 1644. Explicit Squirus noster; as all things do end! Some three other Notes, written in abstruse cipher, and two of them bearing what I take to be Oliver's occult signature, and plainly Squire's address, these I keep back, as too abstruse for any printer or any reader. And herewith let us close the Funeral Urn of the Ironsides, with its burnt bones of heroes, and ashes of mere wood; and, with deathless regrets against my Unknown Correspondent, and for the present some real thankfulness to Heaven, wash our hands of this melancholy affair. T. CARLYLE. London, 2d Nov. 1847. APPENDIX B. LIST OF THE LONG PARLIAMENT. LISTS OF THE EASTERN-ASSOCIATION COMMITTEES. { is In the old Parliamentary History, and in other Books, given, "compiled from the Chancery Records and Commons Journals," a List of the Long-Parliament Members, arranged according to their Counties and Boroughs; which is very welcome to the historical inquirer. But evidently, for every purpose of historical inquirey connected with this Period, there is needed farther, if not some well-investigated brief "Biographical Dictionary of the Long-Parliament Members," such as the pious historical student is free to imagine for himself, but will not soon get, at least and lowest, some Alphabetical List of their Names; the ready index and memento of a great many things to us. As no such List was anywhere discoverable, I had to construct one for my own behoof; a process by no means difficult in proportion to its usefulness, the facts being already all given in the extant List by Places, and only requiring to be rearranged for the new object of a List by Names. This latter List, after long doing duty in the manuscript state, is now, for the use of others, appended here in print, there being accidentally a corner of room for it in this New Edition. It is not vitally connected with Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches; yet neither is it quite without relation to the man. Here are the Names of some five or six hundred men, whom Oliver Cromwell sat in view of, and worked along with, through certain years of time in this world; their Names and Localities, if we have nothing more. More is attainable concerning several of them, and is very well worth attaining; but little more, to the general reader, is yet attained. Fea * Parliamentary History (London, 1763), ix. 12-57. |
