The Private Journals of the Long Parliament: 2 June to 17 September 1642

The editorial objectives and practices set forth in the first two volumes of The Private Journals have been continued in this volume. The editors provide an accurate and useful text of the three parliamentary journals (Gawdy, D'Ewews, Hill) and the Minute Book of the Commissioners for Irish Affairs, as well as appropriate annotation. Again, the editors identify those persons whose names have not occurred previously and assist readers in finding their way through the maze of committees, bills, orders, ordinances, declarations, and messages.
