events that occurred in England during the reigns of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell,
and Charles II. The title itself claims that to book includes military and
civil interests, as well as secrets of the royal cabinet; however, this book is
also a supreme source on the ‘Puritan Revolution’ or English Civil War.

after the English Civil Wars, all from the Parliamentary perspective. Recorded

Cromwell as Lord Protector, and the 1660 restoration of the monarchy in Charles
II.
