Description
Excerpt from Thomas Harrison: Regicide and Major-General
The origin of this short life of a great revolutionary leader, whose importance has been very much over looked in the story of his times, was a course of lectures delivered three years ago in his birthplace, newcastle-under-lyme. Its origin has affected its style and arrangement.
My materials have been collected from the writings of the times, and to some extent from Newcastle traditions. Like all students of the Great Rebellion, I owe a debt it is impossible to measure to the researches of Dr S. R. Gardiner, and Professor C. H. Firth.
I have to express my gratitude to Professor Firth for pointing out to me a very valuable set of letters written by General Harrison to Col. John jones. These were published in 1861 by the Historic Society of Cheshire and Lancashire, and the Society kindly puts them at my disposal. The addition of these letters, I hope, renders complete the list of the known letters of the major-general given in the Appendix.
