D, Vol. 4 of 1: Sometime Lord Archbishop of Canterbury II. The series of Letters in the first two parts of the sixth volume consists: (i.) Of all the Letters of Archbishop Laud which had already been published, but which hitherto were dispersed in various different works. The English Letters comprise those printed by Prynne, in his "Hidden Works," and "Canterbury's Doom;" in the "Cabala;" by Rushworth, in his "Collections;" by Parr, in his "Life of Usher;" in Wilkins' "Concilia;" by Knowler, in the Strafforde Letters and Dispatches; and in the Rawdon Papers, edited by Barwick. The Latin Letters are taken (with but two exceptions) from the correspondence of G. J. Vossius, printed at London, 1690, and in the "Praestantium ac eruditorum Virorum Epistolae." These Letters, together with all those hitherto unpublished, (except two which were obtained after the volume had been so far printed, ) are now brought together in chronological order. (ii.) The Letters, which now appear for the first time, include all that could be found in the British Museum, the Lambeth MSS., and the Tanner MSS. in the Bodleian Library, and a few others which the Editor has succeeded in obtaining from private sources. This portion of the series, including the Letters from Bishops Bedell and Williams, amount in number to fifty-eight. The correspondence with Bishop Williams is noted as of special interest. The source, whether printed or MS., from which each Letter is taken, is noticed at its commencement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
