Excerpt from Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, King of England, Vol. 1 of 2
Although this work, which was completely revised by my father, has been a long time in the press, and would, under any circumstances, have been published at this period, it so happens, that it appears at a moment when the subjects of which it treats, not only attract, but absorb, the mind of the nation. Its chapters on "the Genius of the Papacy," on the "Critical position of our earlier Protestant Sovereigns, with regard to their Roman Catholic subjects," from the consequences of the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy; on "the Study of Polemical Divinity prevalent at the commencement of the Seventeenth Century," and kindred themes, are in fact the history of the events, the thoughts, the passions and the perplexities of the present agitated epoch.
