The Pythouse Papers: Correspondence Concerning the Civil War, the Popish Plot, and a Contested Election in 1680 (Classic Reprint) by William Ansell Day (Paperback / softback, 2016)
Excerpt from The Pythouse Papers: Correspondence Concerning the Civil War, the Popish Plot, and a Contested Election in 1680 Foremost in station, the centre and the mark Of all the intrigues and cabals of that stormy epoch, the character Of the King is the first subject that commands our attention. Eight generations have lived and passed away since the troubles that beset him commenced, yet his character and career are still the theme on which loyalty delights to dwell and which detraction has made her own. There has been reason alike for panegyric and condemnation for the exaggerated adulation Of the Cavalier, and for the Roundhead's bitter wrath.
