INTERESTING WORKS,Just published by HENRY COLBURN, New Burlington Street.
1. THE HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH of ENGLAND: from the Commencement of the Civil War, to the Restoration of CHARLES THE SECOND. ByWilliam Godwin. Volume the Second, 8vo.
***There is no part of the history of this island which has been so inadequately treated, as the characters and acts of those leaders, who had, for the most part, the direction of the public affairs of England, from 1640 to 1660. The men who figured during the interregnum were, immediately after the Restoration, spoken of with horror, and their memoirs were composed after the manner of the Newgate Calendar. What was begun from party rage, has been continued from indolence. No research has been exercised, no public measures have been traced to their right authors; even the succession of Judges, Public Officers, and Statesmen, has been left in impenetrable confusion. It is the object of the present Work to remedy this defect, and to review the transactions of that period with the same calmness, impartiality, and inflexible justice, as if they had preceded the Universal Deluge, or had taken place in one of the remotest islands of the South Sea.
