This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... II The F1ght1ng Sydenhams WHEN Thomas Sydenham left Oxford in the summer of 1642, his University career checked at the outset, he found his native county in a state of active preparation for war. Political feeling was strong there, and was mainly on the side of the Parliament. Dorchester especially is spoken of by Clarendon as the most "malignant" (i.e., Puritan) place in England.
