PREFACE. THE following documents, now published for the first time, from the originals in the State Paper Office, will be found to contain much new information, illustrative both of the public and private history of Milton while, in particular, the sixteen Letters of State, never before printed, are absolutely requisite to complete that noble series of Diplomatic Correspondence which the Secretary for Foreign Tongues to the Commonwealth has left, at once as s monument of his political genius, and of the elegance of his classical acquirements. In addition to the papers comprised in the body of this work, there are a number which it was found requisite to throw into an Appendix, for, although many of these are invaluable to the biography of the poet, yet, on account of their length and legal phraseology, it was found impossible to embody them in a readable narrative reference has, however, been made to these docu lnents in support of inany important points, and tllc reader, by observing tlie referciices, may bring together tllc papers relating to each suit, if he feel so inclined, although a cllronologicd arrangement has been adopted as the one more convenient for gcneral use. It may bc as vellt o ol scrvc, that sonlc few of these documents have hefore been printed by Todd in his Account of tlie Life and Writings of Nilton, and in every such case I have givcn the reference to his volume as well as to the MSS. He, however, was only acquainted with a tithe of the materials hcre collected, so that his conclusions were not al vays correct. The Council of the Camden Society liavc, therefore, agreed with ine in the prol rictyo f including these, in order that the series may be complete. Last l.licl, Fincl lc, 24 Oct. 1859.
