Eldest Son, Richard, a man of an inoffensive and unambitious
Character, who had been married some years, and lived in the
country on a small estate which he possessed in right of his wife,
where he spent his time in acts of benevolence: at the trial of
Charles I. he fell on his knees and conjured his Father in the
most pathetic manner to spare the life of his Sovereign; his
brother Henry, afterwards Govonor of Ireland, where he was
universally beloved for his mild administration; Mrs. Claypole,
the darling of her father; and his three other daughters: Mrs.
Rich, married to the Grandson and heir of the Earl of Warwick;
Lady Falconbridge; and the Youngest, who lived in celibacy. They
spent a week at New Hall, in innocent mirth and jollity; Oliver
himself joining in convivial pleasure with his children,
disengaged the whole time from state affairs and Political
Speculations.
"His constant visitors at New Hall were some Regicides, and the
meanest, lowest, and most ignorant among the Citizens on whome he
had decreed that the Sovereign power should be vested. To excell
in Fanaticism seemed a necessary qualification in this new
parliment; and Oliver foresaw that they would soon throw up the
reins of Government, which they were unqualified to guide, and
raise himself to an unlimited power far beyond that of former
Kings.
"It seems Mrs. Lambert continued to reside at New Hall during
Cromwell's Protectorship, and that Col. Wite, his trusty friend,
was often sent with kind messages and preasants from Oliver, who
travelled himself in the night, with hurry and precipitation, to
enjoy with her some moments of domestic comfort and tranquility."
SPURIOUS EDITION OF BAILY'S ANNUITIES.
In the course of last year a curious and impudent bibliographical fraud
was perpetrated by some parties unknown. I am not aware that it has been
publicly exposed as yet.
