The Royalist and the Parliamentarian
These two comparatively short pieces have been brought together by the Leonaur Editors in the interests of good value and also because it may be improbable that they would achieve publication singly in modern times. They each give the reader an insight into the life of English people-each one with political sympathies opposed to the other-during the time of social upheaval and conflict which was the English Civil War of the mid-seventeenth century. These are very personal documents which reflect and comment upon the great events which were unfolding and upon the more immediate effect these had on the lives of ordinary people. Perhaps most significant are those passages-perhaps peculiar to a house divided-that reveal how every day life carried on against a backdrop of war. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

The following notes show that Mr. Blundell possessed much of that honourable and open character which is said to belong to Lancashiremen of the best type. He speaks his mind in a straightforward, manly way. The impression we have in reading his letters and remarks is highly favourable to his integrity. We seem to be listening to a man who would rather suffer any torments than tell a lie or deny his principles. And that such was his real character, the whole tenor of his life bears witness. His friends reposed the greatest confidence in him, and he was frequently selected as umpire in family differences, where the circumstances called for the exercise of much tact and judgment. Ladies who presided over religious houses abroad found in him a faithful financial agent. His carefulness and exactitude in managing this troublesome business, which he undertook solely out of charity, is manifest from the account- books which he has left behind him. Considering the many troubles in...
