Excerpt from The Quarrel Between the Earl of Manchester and Oliver Cromwell: An Episode of the English Civil WarAT the death of Mr. Bruce, in October 1869, there was found among his papers a quantity of manuscript relating to the quarrel between the Earl of Manchester and Cromwell in the year 1644, and showing that he had been minutely studying that incident in the History of the English Civil War, and meant to make it the Subject of some publication. The mss. Consisted of (1) Copies of previously unpublished documents recovered by Mr. Bruce's research; (2) Fragments of a Historical Preface, in which Mr. Bruce meant to tell the whole story at some considerable length, by weaving the information from these documents into that otherwise accessible; and (3) Miscellaneous jottings towards the completion of this Pre face, chie y in the form of extracts from the Lords and Commons Journals, but with notes of dates and stray facts besides.The documentary matter, as left by Mr. Bruce, and as put to press by the Council of the Camden Society for this volume, is partly from the Public Record Office, partly from the Manchester Family Papers at Kimbolton. From the letter-books of the Derby House Committee or Committee of Both Kingdoms, preserved in the Record Office, are the copies of the correspondence between that Committee and the Earl of Manchester from July to November 1644, occupying pp. 1-58 of the present volume; and from the Domestic State Papers in the Record Office is the document entitled Cromwell's Narrative (pp. 7 8 The remaining three documents, entitled Narrative oft/1e Earl of [manchester's Campaign (pp. 59 Statement by an Opponent of Cromwell (pp. 71-7 and Notes of Evidence, 850.
