There is no date to it; but from the appearance of the paper, type, a rude woodcut of the execution, &c., I doubt not that it was printed soon after the event, or certainly immediately after the Revolution, to meet the popular wishes to have information on the subject. It consists of sixteen octavo pages, very closely printed. The opening paragraph says: "Among the many that suffered in a _Protestant_ cause [all the _Italics_ used in this communication are those of the pamphlet], and indeed whose measure seem'd to be the hardest of all, was this honorable person _William_ Lord _Russel_, who was generally lamented for his excellent Temper and good Qualities; being allowed to be one of the most sober and judicious Noblemen in the Kingdom, which even his Enemies could not deny; and the Merit and Esteem he bore was more cause of Offence against him than any Matter that was reap'd up at his Tryal; all which in effect was merely grounded upon Malice (I mean _Popish_ Malice) that could not be forgot, from his Lordship's being one of those earnest sticklers for _Protestant_ Liberty, and even the very foremost that prefer'd the Bill of Exclusion," &c. Then follows the trial, headed "July 13, 1683, the _Lord_ Russel _came to his Tryal at the_ Old Bailey." The indictment is described; the names of the jury are given; judges and counsel named; the evidence, examinations, and cross-examinations (by Lord Russel) very interestingly narrated: the Report concluding, after a short address from Lord Russel, "Then the Court adjourned till four in the afternoon, and brought him in guilty." These particulars are followed by "_The last Speech and Carriage of the Lord_ Russel _upon the Scaffold, &c._" As to the executioner's work, all other accounts that I have seen state that after "two" strokes the head was severed from the body. The publication says: "The Executioner, missing at his first Stroke, though with that he took away his Life, at two more severed the Head from the Body.... Mr. Sheriff [continues the account] ordered his Friends or Servants to take the Body, and dispose of it as they pleased, being given them by His Majesty's _Favour and Bounty_." The narrative proceeds: "His Body was conveyed to _Cheneys_ in _Buckinghamshire_, where 'twas Buried among his Ancestors. There was a great _Storm_, and many loud _Claps_ of _Thunder_ the Day of his _Martyrdom_. An _Elegy_ was made on him immediately after his Death, which seems, by what we have of it, to be writ with some _Spirit_, and a great deal of Truth and Good-will; only this Fragment on't could be retriev'd, which yet may not be unwelcome to the Reader:
