GUY FAWKES; OR, A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE GUNPOWDER TREASON, A.D. 1605; WITH A DEVELOPEMENT OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSPIRATORS, AND SOME NOTICES OF THE REVOLUTION OF 1688. BY THE REV. THOMAS LATHBURY, M.A., AUTHOR OF “A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH EPISCOPACY, FROM 1640 TO 1662,” AND “THE STATE OF POPERY AND JESUITISM IN ENGLAND FROM THE REFORMATION, TILL 1829.” LONDON: JOHN W. PARKER, WEST STRAND. M.DCCC.XXXIX. PREFACE. Though the particulars connected with the Gunpowder Treason may be perused in the general histories of the period, yet I am not aware, that any modern narrative of that dark design is to be found in a separate form. Many brief sketches have, indeed, been published in various modern works: but no full and complete history of the Treason has ever been set forth. In compiling the present volume, I have collected, from various quarters, all the information which I could discover on the subject. It will be found to be the most complete narrative of the Treason ever published in a detached form: at the same time it is sufficiently concise not to weary the patience of the reader.
