Book Description
Excerpt from Six North Country Diaries Of the diaries printed in this volume, the most important, in every way, is the first. Written by John Aston, a younger son of the ancient family of Aston of Aston, in Cheshire, who was attached to the suite of Charles I. on his expedition through the counties of York, Durham and Northumberland in the first Bishops' War of 1659, the journal corroborates incidents mentioned in Edward Norgate's letters, written, from Newcastle and Berwick, to Secretary Windebank and others, as abstracted in the Calendar of State Papers, Domestic for 1659. To the members of the Surtees Society it affords further evidence of the then waste and poverty-stricken condition of the Border lands, enlarging the report sent to the Doge and Senate of Venice in 1617 by their Secretary Lionello, who stated that the country 'at a distance of from forty to fifty miles from the frontier, and especially the county of Northumberland, was very pour, uncultivated and exceedingly wretched, ' a condition proceeding 'from the sterility of the ground, and also from the perpetual wars with which these nations have savagely destroyed each other' (Calendar of State Papers, Venice, 1615-1617, p. 550). The second diary, from which only extracts are given, is of the Commonwealth and Restoration period. The third, although of the period of the Great Revolution, is singularly silent about that event. In the fourth diary, written by a young clergyman, who reveals his self-seeking propensities with artless candour, are echoes of the Rebellion of 1715. The fifth is that of a sagacious lawyer, whose pithy and analytical comments on Durham people and events are always decided; the sixth is that of an Alnwick attorney with personal tastes inclining to sermons and to cock-fighting, who noted many domestic events concerning his family, his neighbours and his widespread connections.

Book Description
George Goring was in many ways the archetypal cavalier, often portrayed as possessing all the worst characteristics associated with the followers of King Charles I. He drank copiously, dressed and entertained lavishly, gambled excessively, abandoned his wife frequently, and was quick to resort to swordplay when he felt his honour was at stake. Yet, he was also an active Member of Parliament and a respected soldier, who learnt his trade on the Continent during the Dutch Wars, and put his expertise to good use in support of the royalist cause during the English Civil War. In this, the first modern biography of Goring, the main events of his life are interwoven with the wider history of his age. Beginning with his family background in Sussex, it charts his successes at court and exploits in the service of the Dutch, culminating in his experiences at the siege of Breda in 1637, and his role in the Bishops' Wars. However, it is his key role as a royalist general during the Civil War that is the major focus of this book, which concludes with Goring's years of exile during the Republic. This fascinating and illuminating account of Goring's life, character and actions, provides not only a fresh examination of this contentious figure, but also reveals much about English society and culture in the first half of the seventeenth century.
