Neal's _History of the Puritans_, 2 vols. 4to. Bacon's Works, by Mallet, 3 vols. folio, 1753. Kennet's _Complete History of England_, 3 vols. folio, 1719.

Harris's _Lives of James I., Charles I., Cromwell, and Charles II._, 5 vols. 1814. Clarendon's _History of the Rebellion_, 8 vols. 8vo. Oxford, 1826. It is to be regretted that the editor has not preserved the paging of the folio in his margin, which is of great convenience in a book so frequently referred to; and still more so, that he has not thought the true text worthy of a better place than the bottom of the page, leaving to the spurious readings the post of honour. Clarendon's _Life_, folio. _Rushworth Abridged_, 6 vols. 8vo. 1703. This edition contains many additions from works published since the folio edition in 1680.

Burnet's _History of his own Times_, 2 vols. folio. The paging of this edition is preserved in the margin of that printed at Oxford, 1823, which is sometimes quoted, and the text of which has always been followed. _Life of William Lord Russell_, by Lord John Russell, 4to. Temple's _Works_, 2 vols. folio, 1720. Coxe's _Life of Marlborough_, 3 vols. 4to. Coxe's _Memoirs of Sir Robert Walpole_, 3 vols. 4to. Robertson's _History of Scotland_, 2 vols. 8vo. 1794.
