With which new Letters it became a rather complex question what was now to be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Lecture on the Life and Character of Oliver Cromwell: Delivered Before the Young Men's Literary Association of Cleveland; On Thursday Evening, Jan, 28, 1847 The first thirty-two pages of this lecture, with the accompanying notes and indicated additions, were printed soon after it was decided to publish it. Then an unexpected pressure of other labors together with a temporary failure of health, prevented the writer from furnishing any more copy till after an interval of several mouths; when thirty-two pages more were committed to the press. By this time the local and transient interest excited by the discussion of the subject in this city, had subsided; and it had, meanwhile, been made to appear quite obvious that the mis-statements and objections which were the immediate occasion of the writer's consent to publish the lecture, had been too inconsiderately made, to render their correction or their further exposure a matter of any urgent importance. Hence the remaining portion of the lecture with the additions and notes have been prepared for the press without any special stimulus or incitement to the task, the attention of the writer being, in the mean time, necessarily directed mainly to other pursuits. Indeed but for the fact that so considerable a part of the printing was already done, he would now have deemed it unadvisable to proceed with the publication. Nevertheless to guard against misapprehension he feels bound to say that the additional examination which he has been able to give the subject, has served not only to increase his interest in it, but also to confirm him in his views as expressed when the lecture was delivered. He sees no cause to retract any opinion then uttered, but reason rather, as the notes manifest, to speak even more strongly oil some of tho DEGREESvery points upon which his views were, by a few, called in question. This declaration he makes, however, with a deep sense of his liability to err and with a full and cordial recognition of the right of others to think for themselves and to give utterance to their thoughts.

Excerpt from book: on the Saturday following. The night before Saturday his poor Sister, though narrowly watched, smuggled him some poison: he went to bed, saying, Well, this is the last time I shall go to bed; the attendants heard him snore heavily, and then cease; they looked, and he lay dead. ' He was of that wretched sect called Soul-Sleepers, who believe that the soul falls axleep at death: '1 a gloomy, far-misguided man. They buried him on Tower-hill with due ignominy, and there he rests; with none but Frantic-Anabaptist Sexby, or Deceptive-Presbyterian Titus, to sing his praise.2 Next Friday, Friday the 20th, which was Thanksgiving Day, ' the Honourable House, after hearing two Sermons at Margaret's ' Westminster, partook of a most princely Entertainment, ' by invitation from his Highness, at Whitehall. ' After dinner his High- ' ness withdrew to the Cockpit; and there entertained them with ' rare music, both of voices and instruments, till the evening;' s his Highness being very fond of music. In this manner end, once more, the grand Assassination projects, Spanish-Invasion projects; unachievable even the Preface of them;?and now we will speak of something else.
