Excerpt from The Memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Lieutenant-General of the Horse in the Army of the Commonwealth of England, 1625-1672, Vol. 2 of 2 Great endeavours were used in Ireland to perswade lieut.-col. Walker, an honest man and a good Officer, to undertake the command of those forces that were ordered to be sent from thence; but he perceiving the design, and being throughly sensible that this Offer was not made to him from any affection to his person, or sense of his services, refused to bite at the bait, tho it was gilded as much as might be, by advancing a considerable sum, and satisfying the arrears Of those that went out of the forfeited lands in such places as they should chuse. Upon his refusal, Major Moor accepted the imployment with the title Of Colonel; but on condition that after he had conducted the men to Jamaica, he should have liberty to return, which he did after many difficulties and hazards of his person 3. Capt. Chester, a stout man, and one who at a general council of Ofiicers had Openly expressed his discontent against the usurpation, was also perswaded to engage in this service, and lost his life in the expedition.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Lieutenant-General of the Horse in the Army of the Commonwealth of England, 1625-1672, Vol. 1 of 2 As to the date at which Ludlow's Memoirs were written there is no conclusive evidence. The opening sentence shows that he began to write after the Restoration, and in all probability some time after the Restoration. Ludlow was too much a man of action and too little a man of letters, to take up his pen in the first moment of his exile, and devote himself to the task of undeceiving posterity. It is not unlikely that the idea of writing his Memoirs was first suggested to him by some incident such as that which he describes as happening in 166 3. At the solemn banquet which the senators of Bern gave to Ludlow and some of his friends, one Of his hosts desired to hear from the lips of their guest the causes of the fall of the English republic.

Reimagining the Historian in Victorian England
Author: Elise GarritzenPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031284615
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
This book traces the transformation of history from a Romantic literary pursuit into a modern academic discipline during the second half of the nineteenth century, and shows how this change inspired Victorians to reconsider what it meant to be a historian. This reconceptualization of the ‘historian’ lies at the heart of this book as it explores how historians strove to forge themselves a collective scholarly persona that reflected and legitimised their new disciplinary status and gave them authority to speak on behalf of the past. The author argues that historians used the persona as a replacement for missing institutional structures, and converted book parts to a sphere where they could mould and perform their persona. By ascribing agency to titles, footnotes, running heads, typography, cover design, size, and other paratexts, the book makes an important shift in the way we perceive the formation of modern disciplines. By combining the persona and paratexts, it offers a novel approach to themes that have enjoyed great interest in the history of science. It examines, for example, the role which epistemic and moral virtues held in the Victorian society and scholarly culture, the social organization and hierarchies of scholarly communities, the management of scholarly reputations, the commercialization of knowledge, and the relationship between the persona and the underpinning social, political, economic, and cultural structures and hierarchies. Making a significant contribution to persona studies, it provides new insights for scholars interested in the history of humanities, science, and knowledge; book history; and Victorian culture.
