 PREFACE. 
 
 High in the list of benefactors of the British Museum stands the 
 modest name of George Thomason, Bookseller, of the Rose and Crown 
 in 8t. Paul's Church Yard. Many English booksellers have acquired 
 distinction or even fame in literature or Ijibliography, but few, if any, 
 have accomplished so remarkable an achievement as Thomason. 
 
 A contemporary who could grasp the full significance of the Meeting 
 of the Long Parliament, and could form the determination to preserve ft>r 
 the use of future generations the mass of Heeting literature which poured 
 every day from the j)ress, was assuredly possessed in a rare degree of 
 historical prescience and imaginatiim : nor could any but a man of resolute 
 determination and strength <tf charactei- have persevered in so arduous a 
 task through twenty eventful, crowded years. 
 
 It is clear from the whole tenour of his notes and manuscripts that 
 Thomason was a cultivated, scholarly man and a shrewd observer. Tt 
 is clear also that he enjoyed the friendship of many distinguished men ; 
 John Milton, William Piyune, Henry Parkei-, and many others, 
 presented him with copies of their works. He was represented at the 
 time of the Love Conspiracy, 1G50— 01, as having a considerable influence 
 with the Presbyterian 3Iinisters of London, including such well-known 
 personages sis Edmund Calamy and William Jenkin, and in his will 
 he was able to speak of John Rushworth and Thomas Barlow as his 
 lionoured friends. Yet little is now known of his life or personality ; and 
 in the matter of his biography, beyond a few extracts from the Stationers' 
 Registers and the Calendai-s of State Papers, I fear I have little to ofter 
 but uncertainties and conjectures. 
 
 George Thomason was the .son of George Thomason, of Sudlow, a 
 hamlet in the Hundred of Bucklow, Cheshire. His father is described 
 in the Registers of Stationers' Hall as a ' Husbandman,' pro])ably a 
 farmer. By an Act of the Common Council in I006 no per.son was 
 permitted to take up his freedom as a member of a Company or Guild 
 until he had attained the age of twenty -four. As George Thomason the 
 younger became a member of the Stationers' Company in 1626, it follows 
 that he nmst have been born in or before 1602. In September 1617 he 
 was bound apprentice for nine years to Henry Fetherstone, Bookseller at 
 the Sign of the Ro.se in St. Pauls Churchyard, the publisher of Purchase 
 his Pihirimea and some other notable books. 
 
 On the 5th June, 1626, Thomason took up his freedom as a member 
 of the Statio)iers' Compan » , his name appearing in the Register as
 
 iv PREFACE. 
 
 ' George Thompson.' It is hardly necessary to say that variations in the 
 spelHncr of proper names during the seventeenth century are rather the 
 rule than the exception. That George Thompson or Tompson is the 
 same person as George Thomason is clearly proved by later entries m the 
 Stationers' Registers. Thus on the 1st November, 1627, his late master, 
 Henry Fetherstone, assigns to him under the name of George Tompson a 
 share in the property of a work entiled The History of the Normans and 
 Kinges of England, by William Martin, which share ' i\Iaster Thomason' 
 transfers to Richard Whitaker on the 21st May, 1638. 
 
 Thomason's principal business was bookselling rather than publishing. 
 For some years, from 1636 to 1642 or 1643, he was in partnership with 
 Octavian Pullen, who was admitted to membership of the Stationers' 
 Company December 14th, 1629. Their shop, which bore the sign of ih^ 
 ' Rose,' was situated in St. Paul's Churchyard, on the north side of the 
 cathedral, between the north door and the Church of St. Faith's. When 
 the partnership was dissolved, Thomason moved to the ' Rose and Crown,' 
 in another part of the Churchyard, while Pullen remained at the original 
 ' Rose' until it was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. 
 
 Between the years 1636 and 1639 the partners published six books, 
 four of which were of slight importance, while the remaining two were 
 sumptuous folios, relating to the visits of Mary de' Medici to the Nether- 
 lands and England. The books are entitled Histoire de VEntree de la 
 Beijne Mere dans les Provinces TJnies and Histoire de VEntree de la Reijne 
 Mere dans la Grande Bretaigne, both by Jean Puget de la Serre, 
 Historiographer of France, both illustrated with fine engravings by 
 Hollar and others, and both bearing the imprint, " A Londre, par Jean 
 Baioorth pour George Thomason et Octavian Pullen, a la Rose, au Cemetiere 
 de Saint Paul, 1639." 
 
 Thomason's next essay in publishing was unfortunate. In 164o, 
 David Buchanan, an ardent Presbyterian, wrote a book eulogising the 
 action of the Scotch throughout the Civil War and violently attacking 
 the English Parliameiit and their army. This book was published 
 anonymously under the title of Truth its Manifest, with the imprint 
 London, 1645. Its contents were sufficiently alarming to create consider- 
 able stir, and the Parliamentary Committee of both Kingdoms were 
 ordered to discover the printer and publisher. On the 31st Jan., 1646, 
 evidence was given before the Committee by Joseph Hunscott, a book- 
 seller, that " Mr. Buchanan entered the copy of Truths Manifest in 
 Robert Bostock's name, and after printing it at his own charge, and 
 there being some difierence between him and Mr. Bostock about the 
 price, he sold the whole impression to George Thomerson." 
 
 Ultimately the book was voted false and scandalous by both Houses 
 of Parliament and ordered to be burnt by the Hangman. In 1646,
 
 PREFACE. V 
 
 A Treatise touching the Peace of the Church, by Philip Freher, was 
 " printed for George Thoraason and are to be sold at his shop at the 
 ' Rose and Crown.' " 
 
 Thomason published no more books until the year 16-59, when he 
 issued the only work of real importance which came from his shop, the 
 first part of John Rushworth's Historical Collections, bearing the imprint, 
 "Printed by Tho. Newcomb for George Thomason, at the sign of the 
 Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Churchyard, 1659." It is perhaps worthy 
 of note that the later volumes published between 1680 and 1701 were 
 also issued from the ' Rose and Crown,' then occupied by Thomason's 
 successors, Richard Criswell and Thomas Cockerill. 
 
 Meanwhile Thomason and Pull en seem to have established a thriving 
 trade as booksellers. Dr. Macray, in his Annals of the Bodleian, notes 
 that "the booksellers from whom in most years about this time (1640 
 and the following years) purchases were made were George Thomason 
 and Octavian Pullen, and that in 1650 (by which time Pullen's partner- 
 ship had come to an end) "A great fraught of books to the value of 
 £69 lOs., for which £1 was paid for carriage, was bought of George 
 Thomason." 
 
 On the 3rd November, 1640, the Long Parliament met ; and Thomason, 
 who had already accumulated a few books issued during the course of the 
 year, systematically began his collection, acquiring, either by purchase or 
 occasionally by presentation, every book, pamphlet and newspaper issued 
 in London and as many as he could obtain from the provinces or abroad. 
 He continued without interruption to prosecute his enterprise until the 
 coronation of Charles II., 23 April, 1661, adding a few pamphlets up to 
 the end of December of that year, when his collection closes. 
 
 Misled no doubt by the terms of the Advertisement issued after his 
 death, all those who have written of Thomason have described him as 
 " the Royalist bookseller." 
 
 This, I think, is a complete mistake. For instance, in this catalogue, 
 under the date 5th Dec. 1642, will be found a MS. copy of an order of the 
 Committee for the advance of money for the Parliament's army, naming 
 Thomason and two othei's as the authorised collectors of subscriptions 
 within their parish. Again, under date 5th June, 1646, will be found 
 a petition to the Lord Mayor and Common Council in support of a 
 strongly-worded Presbyterian Petition presented by the Municipality of 
 London on the 26th of the preceding month, with a note by Thomason 
 reading, "Composed and finished from the 5th I having a hand in it both 
 in composing it and promoting it." I think that these two documents, when 
 taken in conjunction with Thomason's share in the Love Conspiracy and 
 with the influence which he was then said to possess over the Presbyterian 
 Ministers of London, are proofs sufficient that he belonged to the
 
 vi PREFACE. 
 
 Presbyterian party, of which the great majority of his fellow-citizens were 
 members. 
 
 As a Presbyterian he was of course in entire sympathy with the 
 Parliament and its Army during the Civil War, 1642-1646. But 
 when in 1647 and 1648 the power began to pass from the Parliament and 
 the Presbyterians into the iron hands of the leaders of the New-Model 
 Army, he, with the mass of the citizens of London, changed his attitude 
 and became an ardent advocate of the " personal treaty " with the King. 
 Space will not permit me to offer here any general remarks on the 
 historical value or bearing of this collection, a subject far too wide and 
 important to be treated of in a mere preface, but the mention of the 
 " personal treaty " gives me the opportunity ♦^^o point out the evidence 
 which the tracts of the years 1647 and 1648 afford as to how confident 
 was the expectation entertained by the Presbyterian citizens of London 
 of the success of the negotiations with the King both before and during 
 the discussions at Newport. If space permitted, it would be easy to give 
 many instances ; it is however sufficient merely to read through the 
 titles of the tracts issued during these two years to verify this fact, on 
 which hardly sufficient stress has been laid by any historian of the period. 
 It is unnecessary to say that these hopes and expectations were abruptly 
 cut short by Pride's Purge, 6th December, 1648, one of the many 
 instances in history in which the sword has proved mightier than the 
 pen. 
 
 On the 21st May, 1647, Thomason issued a printed catalogue entitled, 
 Catalogus Librorum diversis Italiae locis emptorum Anno Domini 1647, 
 a Georgia Thomasono BIhliopola Londinensi apud (piem in Cacniiterio D. 
 Pauliad insigne Rosae Coronatae prostant venules. Londini typis Johannis 
 Legatt, 1647. The catalogue is preceded by a Latin preface, which if 
 written by Thomason himself shows him to have been a very creditable 
 Latin scholar. The preface is to this effect : — 
 
 " Courteous Reader. The following is a catalogi;e of books brought over from 
 Italy, of the greatest use, if I am not mistaken, to all who are interested in theology, 
 medicine, philology or belles lettres. I have spared no expense in my attempt to 
 satisfy your needs and to gratify your curiosity. You will find here more Rabbinical 
 and Oriental books and manuscripts than have ever before been collected together, 
 and in addition to these the principal educational and medical writers and the chief 
 authorities on mathematics, history and languages. There are two points to which 
 I would call your attention at the outset. First, no books from Italy have reached 
 this country for the last nine years, nor are any of this class likely to come here in 
 the future. Secondly, I thought it best to have the catalogue printed without 
 regard to subjects, that you may, in your own interests as well as in mine, read 
 through the entire list." 
 
 The works in this Catalogue consist of printed books published 
 during the sixteenth and the earlier j^ears of the seventeenth centuries.

 with a few manuscripts in Oriental Languages. There are in all 1970 
 books and manuscripts ; 1302 of which are in Latin ; 294 in Italian ; 36 
 in Spanish ; 6 in Scandinavian Languages ; 300 in Hebrew and 32, 
 including manuscripts, in Ai'abic, Coptic, Persian, Syriac and Turkish. 
 In March 1647 it was — 
 
 " Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, that the sum of 
 £500 be charged upon and forthwith paid out of the receipts at Goldsmiths' Hall 
 (where the ' Committee for Compounding ' sat) unto Mv. George Thomason, 
 Stationer, for buying of the said Thomason a Library or Collection of Books in the 
 Eastern Languages of very great value, late bought out of Italy and having been the 
 Library of a learned Rabbi there, according to the printed catalogue thereof ; and 
 that the said Library or Collection of Books be bestowed upon the Publick Library 
 in the University of Cambridge. And the acquittance or acquittances of the said 
 George Thomason shall be a sufficient discharge to the Treasurers at Goldsmiths* 
 Hall for payment of the said £500 accordingly, and it is especially recommended to 
 the Committee at Goldsmiths' Hall to take care that present due payment may be 
 made of this sum accordingly, that the Kingdom may not be deprived of so great a 
 Treasure nor Learning want so groat Encouragement. And Sir Anthony Irby is 
 particularly appointed to take care of this Business. 
 
 " Ordered, That Sir Anthony Irby do from this House take notice to Mr. Thomason 
 of his good Service in his Purchase and bringing over from Italy the Parcel of Books 
 in the Eastern Languages ; and to give him the Thanks of this House for his good 
 Affections therein to the Encouragement of Learning in this Kingdom. 
 
 " Ordered, That Mr. Selden and Mr. Lightfoote do take care that the University 
 of Cambridge may have the said Books and that they may be preserved for them 
 according to the Printed Catalogue." 
 
 {Journals of the House of Commons, Vol. V. 572.) 
 
 The books were accordingly sent to Cambridge. The late Henry 
 Bradshaw describes them as a " collection of Hebrew Books which had 
 formerly belonged to an Italian Rabbi, Isaac Praji. The books were 
 brought down and soon made available for use. This was the foundation 
 of our Hebrew Library" (Bradshaw, Collected Papers, 1889, p. 195). 
 
 Five hundred pounds was a handsome sum of money for some three 
 hundred Hebrew books, but the period was one of financial embairassment 
 and confusion, and Thomason found it no easy matter to obtain the 
 money promised to him. 
 
 On the 31st March, 1648, the Committee for Compounding ordered 
 the sum to be paid from the two and four months' assessments for the 
 Scots Army before Newark. 
 
 On the 25th Sept. Colonel Humphrey Matthews of Castle Menech, 
 Glamorgan, was admitted to compound for delinquency, and £500 of his 
 tine was ordered to be paid to Thomason. 
 
 On the 1 3th Oct. a fresh order was given to him, which seems to have 
 been as futile as the two preceding. Finally on the 16 Nov. he was 
 granted interest at the rate of eight per cent, on the still unpaid cajiital.
 
 viii PREFACE. 
 
 {Proceedings of the Committee for Compounding, pp. 133, 807, 809, 
 
 1856.) 
 
 It is to be hoped that the absence of any further entries in the 
 Proceedings of the Committee shows that Thomason either received his 
 money or remained content with eight per cent, interest. 
 
 In the late autumn of 1647 an incident occurred which Thomason has 
 thus recorded on the fly-leaf of a volume dropped in the mud by King 
 Charles I. It will be observed that the note is written after the 
 Restoration. 
 
 "Memorandum that Col. Will. Legg and Mr. Arthur Treavor were imployed 
 by his Matie K. Charles to gett for his present use a pamphlet which his Mitie 
 had then occasion to make use of, and not meeting with it, they both came to me 
 having heard that I did imploy my selfe to take up all such things from the begin- 
 ning of that Parlement, and finding it with me, tould me it was for the kings owne 
 use. I tould them, all I had were at his Matie command and service, and withall 
 tould them if I should part with it and loose it, presuming that when his Matie 
 had done with it, that little account would be made of it, and so I should loose by 
 that losse a limbe of my collection, which I should be very loth to do, well knowing 
 it would be impossible to supplie it if it should happen to be lost, with which answer 
 they returned to his Matie at Hampton Court (as I take it) and tould him they had 
 found that peece he much desired and withall how loath he that had it was to part 
 with it he much fearing its losse ; wheruppon they were both sent to me agaiue by 
 his Matie to tell me that upon the vrorde of a kinge (to use their own expressions) 
 he would safely returne it, thereuppon immediately by them I sent it to his Matie 
 who having done with it and having it with him when he was going towards the 
 Isle of Wight (11-13 Nov. 1647) let it fall in the durt, and then callinge for the two 
 persons before mentioned (who attended him) delivered it to them with a charge, as 
 they should answer it another day, that they should both speedily and safely return 
 it to him, from whom they had received it, and withall to desire the partie to goe on 
 and continue what had begun, which booke together with his Matie signification to 
 me by these worthy and faithfuU geutl" I received both speedily and safely. 
 
 Which volume hath the marke of honor upon it, which noe other volume in my 
 collection hath, and very diligently and carefully I continued the same, until the 
 most hapie restoration & coronation of his most gratious IMatie Kinge Charles the 
 Second whom God long preserve. Geo. Thomason." 
 
 There are fourteen tracts in the volume thus honoured, but of these 
 twelve are sermons, newspapers or satirical pamphlets. It may be 
 assumed that the tract which Charles I. desired to see was either The 
 Reasons of tJte Lords and Commons ichy they cannot agree to the Alteration 
 and Addition in the Articles of Cessation offered by His Majesty. With 
 His Majestie's gratious Ansiver thereunto. April 4, 1643, or A Declaration 
 concerning the present Treaty of Peace heticeen his Majesty and Parliament, 
 April 7, 1643. 
 
 There is suflicient evidence in the tracts for the years 1647 and 1648 
 to show that Thomason served during those years as a member of the 
 Common Council of the City of London. On the 24th June, 1647, au
 
 PREFACE. ix 
 
 anonymous pamphlet in the Presbyterian interest is accompanied by a 
 printed letter from the author to George Thomason, begging him to 
 present, or to read it, during a meeting of the Common Council (Vol. I. 
 523). On the 8th April, 1648, a summons to attend a meeting of the 
 Common Council is addressed "to Mr. Thomason St. Pauls Churchyard " ; 
 and on the 20th May an Order of the Committee of the Militia of 
 London is addressed to "Mr, George Thomason, Common Councill Man" 
 (Vol. I. 607, 623). 
 
 There is unfortunately no list, printed or in manuscript, of the 
 Members of the Common Council during the Civil War or Commonwealth, 
 so it is impossible to say by what ward he was elected. It is, however, 
 certain that he, with the other Presbyterian members who formed the 
 majority of the Common Council in 1648, was excluded by an Ordinance 
 of Parliament passed on the 20th Dec. 1648 (a fortnight after Pride's 
 Purge) forbidding the election to any office in the City of all those who 
 had subscribed to any engagement or petition for the personal treaty with 
 the King. 
 
 In April 1651 Thomason was arrested and imprisoned at Whitehall 
 under the charge of being concerned in the affair known as the " Love 
 Plot." Many Presbyterian gentlemen, citizens of London and ministers, 
 were concerned in this conspiracy, the main objects of which were to join 
 the Scotch in the restoration of Charles II. as a Covenanting Monarch 
 and to .secure the establishment of Presbyterianism in England. The 
 ■evidence against Thomason rested on the confession and examination of 
 Thomas Coke of Drayton, a younger son of Sir John Coke, Secretary of 
 State 1625-1638. Coke, who had acted for .some years as a RoyaUst agent, 
 was declared by an Ordinance of the 20th March, 1651, an attained traitor 
 unless he surrendered himself within four days. He evaded arrest for 
 some days, but was taken prisoner on the 29th March. To save his life he 
 ^ave information to the Council of State and furnished full lists of the 
 leaders of the conspiracy throughout the country and of the London 
 merchants, tradesmen and ministers who had taken part in it. Coke's 
 confessions are printed in the Thirteenth Beport of the Historical 
 Manuscripts Commission (MSS. at Welbeck, Vol. I. pp. 576-604). 
 According to his evidence, Thomason had taken a leading part in 
 delivering letters written by Charles II. from Breda to the London 
 Presbyterian ministers. Coke asserted, moreover, that he had been told 
 by Alderman Bunce at Rotterdam " that he need not looke after any other 
 persons in the Citie of London, for the management of affaires there, more 
 than Thomazon and Potter (an ex-officer, then an Apothecary in Black- 
 friars), for that they knew the affections of most of the citizens and allso 
 of the ministers.-' In a letter of the Council of State to Parliament it is 
 stated that "Mr. Thomas Cooke's information hath been made use of
 
 X PREFACE. 
 
 against Captain Potter and Mr. Thomasin solely discovered and appre- 
 hended upon his information." 
 
 The following entries from the 'Proceedings of the Committee for 
 Compounding,' page 2769, and the Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 
 1651, pp. 218, 219, 2.30, give the history of Thomason's arrest and release. 
 
 11 April, 1651. Committee for Compounding. "The County Committee of 
 London ordered to seize, inventory and secure Thomason's estate both real and 
 
 personal." 
 
 27 May. Council of State. " Mr. Thomason to be bailed, one bond of £1,000 
 with two sureties in £500 each, on the usual terms, after taking his oath as to the 
 truth of the examinations that have been taken." 
 
 2 June. Committee for Compounding. "The Council of State having taken 
 security for his appearance and good behaviour roquest the Committee for Com- 
 pounding to take off its restraint formerly ordered." 
 
 3 June. Committee for Compounding. " The restraint taken off and the bond 
 taken by the County Committee to be delivered to him." 
 
 14 June. Council of State. " Declaration that the Council having taken security 
 of Geo. Thomason of London, Stationer, for his appearance and good abearance, 
 think fit that he be in the same condition as he was at the time of their order for 
 securing his estate and that he be permitted to enjoy the same, any letter from 
 hence notwithstanding and that intimation hereof be given to the Commissioners for 
 Sequestration." 
 
 Thomason was not included in the indictment against Christopher 
 Love, nor was he called as a witness at his trial, which tt)ok place in June 
 and July, 1651. Considering the serious nature of the charges brought 
 against him, he was fortunate in escaping with some weeks of imprison- 
 ment and some unpleasant enquiries and researches. The fact was, that 
 so many important and reputable Presbyterians were implicated that the 
 Council probably considered it the wiser course to confine the prosecution 
 to Love and a few of his principal confederates who had, for the most 
 part, made good their escape from England. 
 
 Although no certain information can be obtained, I think it highly 
 probable that it was during the course of the Love Conspiracy, perhaps 
 immediately after hearing of Coke's arrest, that Thomason sent the whole 
 of his collection, as far as it then existed, to the care of Dr. Barlow, at 
 the Bodleian, and obtained from him the document described in the 
 Advertisement given below, which could be produced to prove that a sale 
 had actually taken place and might thus prevent the confiscation of his 
 treasure. The fact that he had for some years been in the habit of 
 sending books to Oxford may well have facilitated this method of securing 
 his collection. Presumably he sent the remainder to Oxford at difterent 
 times. 
 
 However this may have been, it is interesting to note that Thomason's 
 impi-isonment in no way impeded the progress of his collection. During 
 the months cf April, May and June, 1651, there is no diminution in the
 
 PREFACE. xi 
 
 number of newspapers or pamphlets, and the latter are regularly dated by 
 Thomason himself. 
 
 On the 11th Dec, 1656, Robert Bostock, one of the most important 
 booksellers of the period, died, and his copyrights, fifty-seven in number, 
 were transferred to Thomason. 
 
 The notes with which Thomason frequently annotated his books 
 seldom relate to his own person or fortunes. The four which I give here 
 are the only ones which can be said to be autobiographical : — 
 
 On the 7th Feb., 1657, he writes on the fly-leaf of a pamphlet, "The 
 day of my sad accident." 
 
 On the 24th March, 1658, he writes on a blank leaf : — 
 
 " This day I did cease my elaborat collection, because the number was so 
 exceeding few and inconsideraV)le and not now worth my labour, and the year 1658 
 beginning to-morrow I did prefer to put an end to my great paynes and charges." 
 
 Fortunately Thomason repented of his despairing resolution and 
 continued to collect as carefully, or nearly as carefully as before. 
 
 Owing in part to the moi'e efficient exercise of the laws against 
 unlicensed printing under Cromwell's rule he was justified at the moment 
 in considering the pamphlets issued ' few and inconsiderable,' but in the 
 years of anarchy and expectation which followed the death of Cromwell 
 the flow of pamphlets increased rapidly, and the years 1659 and 1660 are 
 among the fullest and most interesting periods of the entire collection. 
 
 On page 221 of Vol. II. will be found a MS. in Thomason's hand- 
 writing entitled, Some things relating to the thirtie Tyrants of Athens, with 
 the addition of the names of some of the chiefe Traytors and Tyrants of 
 England. The MS. consists of extracts from Raleigh's History of the 
 World with a list of the ' Regicides ' and a note reading : — " Which with 
 these aditions of mine, I was very desirous to have published, but noe 
 printer then durst venture upon it. Anno 1658. Geo. Thomason." It 
 will be observed that this note also has been added to the original text 
 after the Restoration. 
 
 Among the pamphlets issued in 1659 is a broadside entitled Six Neio 
 Queries, dated by Thomason 29th Oct., and bearing also a note in his 
 handwriting which reads " N. B. G. T." I think that it may he taken 
 as at least probable that he himself is the author of these queries which 
 tersely express the opinions of a Presbyterian or moderate Royalist keenly 
 desirous of the suppression of the army, and of the free election of a new 
 Parliament. The first query, which may be taken as summing up the 
 contents of the other five, reads " Whether or No, any rational man in 
 England can or may expect any good from a Parliament when an Army 
 is in power at the same time in the Nation." 
 
 On the 21st Nov. 1664, Thomason signed his will. His wife Katharine 
 had predeceased him and was buried in the South Aisle of the Church of
 
 xii PREFACE. 
 
 St. Dunstan's in the West, 12th Dec. 1646. He had also lost a daughter, 
 Elizabeth, whose funeral sermon, preached by Edward Reynolds, Vicar of 
 St. Lawrence, Jewry, after the Restoration Bishop of Norwich, will be 
 found in the collection under the date 11th April, 1659. 
 
 When Thomason made his will he had six surviving children. His 
 eldest son George graduated at Queen's College, Oxford, in 1655, was 
 afterwards ordained, became a Prebendary of Lincoln in 1683, and died 
 in 1712. His eldest daughter Katharine was married to William 
 Stonestreet. To these two, Thomason leaves only small legacies, 
 explaining that they had on their respective marriages " a liberall and 
 plentifull portion " of his property. 
 
 To his four younger children, Edward, Grace, Henry (who succeeded 
 his father in his business, and for some years carried it on at the Rose 
 and Crown), and Thomas, he bequeaths the greater part of his estate to 
 be divided equally amongst them. To his daughter Grace, in addition to 
 her share in his estate, he liequeaths the sum of £600 to be paid to her 
 within twelve months after hei* marriage. He leaves also a number of 
 legacies to servants and to the Stationers' and Haberdashers' Companies, 
 and endowments for sermons at St. Paul's and St. Dunstan's. He appoints 
 as his executors his son Henry and his son-in-law William Stonestreet. 
 
 Finally he disposes of his collection of pamjihlets in these terms : — 
 
 " And whereas I have a collection of Pamphletts and other writeings and papers 
 bounde up with them of severall volumes gathered by me in the tyme of the late 
 warres and beginning the third day of November a.d. 1G40 and continued until the 
 happie returne and coronacion of his most gracious ^laiestie King Charles the 
 second, upon which I put a very high esteerae in regard that it is soe intire a work 
 and not to be pararelled and also in respect of the long and greete paynes, industry 
 and charge that hath bin taken and expended in and about the collection of them, 
 now I doe give the said collection of Pamphletts unto my honoured friends Thomas 
 Barlowe, Doctor of Divinitie and now Provoste of Queenes Colledg in Oxon,* 
 and Thomas Lockey, Doctor of Divinitie and principall Keeper of the Publicke 
 Library in Oxon,t and John Rushworth of Linconenes + upon trust to bee by them 
 sold for the use and benefitt of my three Sonnes Edward, Henry and Thomas to be 
 paid unto them equally and proporconably parte and parte alike." 
 
 The whole tone of this will is that of a thriving and prosperous man 
 of business, but the two codicils attached to it show that within a few 
 months after its execution Thomason was suffering from grave and 
 growing anxieties concerning his pecuniary position, especially with 
 regard to the sale of his collection. 
 
 In the first of these codicils, dated 20th Jan. 1665, he writes : — 
 
 " Now not knowing how my estate may fall out after my death according to my 
 Will lately made in case it shall fall short, Then I doe give to my two deare

 children, my daughter Grace Thomason and my sonue Thomas Thomason That full 
 summe of money that my collection of Pamphletts shal be sold for to bee equally 
 divided betwixt them both for their advancement, which collection is in the hands 
 of Doctor Thomas Barlow . . . who is now in treaty with me about them for the 
 publique Library and I doubt not but neere a conclusion which being concluded 
 then shall I intreate and desire my good friend Mr. Matt. Goodfellow to be assistant 
 to my Sonne his servant in that perticular which I have no cause to doubt of." 
 
 The second codicil, dated the 22nd May, 1665, is written in an even 
 less hopeful tone. After apjjointing his sou Thomas as a thii'd executor, 
 Thomason writes : — 
 
 "As for the six hundred pounds in money bequeathed to my dear daughter 
 Grace if the accustomary parte fall shorte as I feare it maye then that the said summe 
 be paid her out of that money which the Pamphletts shal bee sould for. And the 
 like somme of six hundred pounds issueing out of the sale of these Pamphletts I 
 bequeath to my deare sonne Thomas . . . and the remaynder thereof to my sonne 
 Henry and his brother Edward." 
 
 Like most of the events of his life the exact date of Thomason's death 
 is uncertain. In his will he directs that he should be buried in St. 
 Dunstan's in the West as near as possible to the tomb of his wife 
 Katharine Thomason. In the Burial Registers of the Church I find the 
 two following entries :— " Mrs. Katherine Thomasin wife of George 
 Tompson buried (in the) Church, 12 Dec. 1646." "George Tompson 
 statoner was buryed in the Upper Church yd, 13 Febuary 1666 (N.S.)." 
 
 There was, it is true, a bookseller named George Thompson who had 
 a shop at the sign of the White Horse, Chancery Lane. But it seems to 
 me highly impi-obable that he can be the person to whom this entry 
 relates. It will be observed that the spelling of the name Tompson is 
 identical in describing Katherine Thomason's husband and in the later 
 entry. There could in fact be no room for doubt that George Thomason 
 was buried on the 13th Feb. 1666, were it not that in the Obituary of 
 Richard Smyth, being a catalogue of all such persons as he knew in their life 
 from 1627 to 1674 (Hloane MS. 886, edited for the Camden Society, 1849), 
 the following passage appears: "10th April, 1666, Geo. Thomason, 
 bookseller buried out of Stationers Hall (a poore man)." 
 
 Richard Smyth is well known as a collector of valuable books, and 
 had probably had dealings with Thomason. His statement bears all the 
 marks of authenticity, and the reference to Thomason's poverty is in 
 accordance with the fears expressed in the codicils to his will. Mr. 
 C. R. Riviugton, Clerk of the Stationers' Company, who has been so 
 kind as to take a personal interest in the matter, tells me that the Court 
 Minutes for 1666 were destroyed in the great fire ; that there is no 
 separate book in w^hich entries were made of the funerals which were 
 frequently celebrated from Stationers' Hall ; and that there is no reference 
 to the cost of any funeral in the Wardens' Accounts for the years 1665
 
 xiv PREFACE. 
 
 to 1667. From the Probate Registers I find that Thomason's will was 
 proved on the 27th April, 1666. Thus, while there can be no doubt as 
 to the year of his death, the exact date must rest an open question. 
 
 The pamphlets remained at Oxford in the custody of Barlow and his 
 co-trustees, thus escaping destruction in the great fire of Sept. 1666. On 
 the 27th June, 1675, Barlow was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln, and in 
 the next year when he left Oxford he addressed the following letter to 
 George Thomason the younger, who was not pecuniarily interested in the 
 sale of the collection bequeathed to his younger brothers. It was printed 
 for the first time in Beloe's Anecdotes of Literature, 1807, Vol. II. 
 pp. 251-52, and subsequently with some slight variations in Notes and 
 
 Queries, 1857, Second Series, Vol. IV, 413. 
 
 Oxon. Feb. 6, 167G. 
 :\Iy Reverend Friend, I am about to leave Oxford (my dear mother) and that 
 excellent and costly collection of bookes which have so long beene in my hands ; 
 now I entreat you, either to remove them, or speake to my successor that they may 
 continue there till you can otherwise conveniently dispose of them. Had I money to 
 my minde I would be your chapman for them, but the collection is soe great, and my 
 purse so little, that I can not compass it. It is such a collection, both for the 
 vast number of bookes and the exact method they are bound in, as none has, nor 
 possibly can have, besides yourselfe. The use of that collection myght be of 
 exceedinge benefit to the publique (both church and state) were it placed in some 
 safe repository where learned and sober men might have accesse to, and the use of it. 
 The fittest place for it (both for use and honor) is the King's, Sr. Tho. Bodleies, or 
 some publique library, for in such places it might be most safe and useful!. I have 
 long indeavoured to find benefactors, and a way to procure it for Bodleie's library, 
 and I doe not despaire but such a way may be found in good time by 
 
 Your affectionate friend and brother, 
 
 Thomas Likcolne. 
 
 No exact record of what befell the collection immediately after the date 
 of this letter exists. It is probable that the books were returned to 
 London, and certain that they passed shortly afterwards into the hands of 
 Samuel Mearne, the celebrated bookbinder, who held the office of Stationer 
 to Charles II. The petition from Mearne's widow, which I give l)elow, 
 shows that negotiations were entered into between ^learne and Sir 
 Joseph Williamson, Secretary of State, and for some years Keeper of the 
 Royal Library at Whitehall, for the purchase of the collection by the 
 King, but nothing is known as to the terms on which it was offered or 
 the cause of the failure to dispose of it. There can be little doubt that 
 the printed advertisement now preserved in the Library was issued by 
 Mearne. It ran thus : — 
 
 "A Complete Collection of Books and Pamphlets Begun in the Year 1G40 by the 
 Special Command of King Charles I. of Blessed Memory, and continued to the 
 happy Eestauration of the Government, and the Coronation of King Charles II. 
 
 "There hath been very much Mony disbursed, and great Pains taken, and many 
 Hazards run in making an exact Collection of all the Pamphlets that were imblish'd
 
 PREFACE. XV 
 
 irom the Beginning of that Long and Rebel-Parliament, which began Novemb. 1640 
 till His late Majesties Happy Restauration and Coronation, consisting of near 
 Thirty Thousand several Sorts, and by all Parties. 
 
 " They may be of very great Use to any Gentleman concerned in Publick Affairs, 
 both for this Present, and After-Ages, there being not the like in the World neither 
 is it possible to make such a Collection. 
 
 "The Collection contains above Two Thousand bound Vokimes all of them 
 uniformly bound, as if they were done at one Time, and all exactly Marked and 
 Numbered. 
 
 " The jMethod that has been observed, is Time, and such punctual Care was taken, 
 that the very Day is written upon most of them, when they came out. 
 
 " The Catalogue of them fairly written is in Twelve Volumes in Folio ; and 
 though the Number of them be so great, (when the Books are set in their Order 
 according to the Mark set upon each of them), the smallest Piece, though but one 
 Sheet of Paper, being shewn in the Catalogue, may be found in a moment ; which 
 Method is of singular use to the Reader. 
 
 " In the whole are contain'd near one Hundred several MS. Pieces that were 
 never printed, all, or most of them on the King's behalf, which no man durst then 
 venture to publish without endangering his Ruine. But the Peruser now may by 
 them be let into the Knowledge of many Occurences in those Times, which have 
 pass'd hitherto unobserv'd. 
 
 " This Collection was so privately carried on, that it was never known, that there 
 was such a Design in hand; the Collector designing them only for His IMajesties 
 Use that then was : His Majesty having occasion for a Pamphlet, could no where 
 ■compass the Sight of it but from him, which His j\Iajesty having perused, was very 
 well pleas'd with the Design, and commanded a Person of Honour to restore it with 
 his own Hands, and withal express'd His desire of having the Collection continued : 
 This was the great Encouragement to the Undertaker, who had otherwise desisted 
 prosecuting so difficult and chargeable a Work, which lay a heavy Burden upon 
 himself and his Servants for above Twenty Years. 
 
 "To prevent the Discovery of them, when the Army was Northwards, he pack'd 
 them up in several Trunks, and by one or two in a Week sent them to a trusty 
 Friend in Surry, who safely preserv'd them ; and when the Army was Westward, 
 and fearing their Return that way ; they were sent to London again ; but the 
 Collector durst not keep them, but sent them into Essex, and so according as they 
 lay near Danger, still, by timely removing them, at a great Charge, secur'd them, 
 but continu'd perfecting the W'ork. 
 
 " And for a farther Security to them, there was a Bargain pretended to be made 
 with the University of Oxford, and a Receipt of a Thousand Pounds given and 
 acknowledg'd to be in part for them, that if the Usurper had found them out, the 
 University should claim them, who had greater Power to struggle for them than a 
 private ^lan. 
 
 "All these Shifts have been made, and Difficulties encountcr'd to keep the 
 Collection from being embezel'd and destroy'd ; which with the great Charges of 
 collecting and binding them, cost the Undertaker so much, that he refused Four 
 Thousand Pounds for them in his Life time, supposing that Sum not sufficient to 
 reimburse him." 
 
 This advertisement is an abridged and corrected version of a manu- 
 script formerly affixed to the first volume of Thomason's Catalogue 
 entitled " Mr. Thomason's Note about his collection," which was printed 
 in full in 1857 in Notes and Queries, .Second Series, Vol. lY.
 
 xvi PREFACE. 
 
 pp. 412-13. It could not have been written by George Thomason the 
 elder, since it contains a copy of Bishop Barlow's letter dated ten years 
 after Thomason's death, and must be attributed to Mearne, or to 
 Thomason's sons, who may have founded it on notes left by their father. 
 The manuscript is somewhat longer than the advertisement, but the only 
 matter contained in it which is not given in the printed document consists 
 of the following paragraphs : — 
 
 " His Majesty being very well pleased with the design, which was a great 
 encouragement to the undertaker, else he thinks be should never have been induced 
 to have gone on through so difficult a work, which he found by experience to prove 
 so chargeable and heavy a burden, both to himself and his servants that were 
 employed in that business, which continued above the space of twenty years, in 
 which time he buried three of them, who took great pains both day and night with 
 him in that tedious employment. And that he might prevent the discovery of them 
 when the army was northward, he packed them up in several trunks, and by one or 
 two in a week he sent them to a trusty friend in Surrey, who safely preserved them ; 
 but when the army was westward, and fearing their return that way, he was faigne 
 to have them sent back again, and thence safely received them, but durst not keep 
 them by him, the danger being so great ; but packed them up again, and sent them 
 into Essex; and when the army ranged that way to Tripleheath [the Rendezvous at 
 Triploe Heath, June 1647] was faigne to send for them back from thence, and not 
 thinking them safe anywhere in England, at last took a resolution to send tiiem 
 into Holland for their more safe preservation. But considering with himself what a 
 treasure it was, upon second thought, he durst not venture them at sea, but resolved 
 to place them in his warehouses in form of tables round about the rooms cove red 
 over with canvas, continuing still without any intermission his going on ; nay, even 
 then, when by the Usurper's power and command he was taken out of his bed and clapt 
 up close prisoner at Whitehall for seven weeks space and above [in April and !May IGol], 
 he still hoping and looking for that day, which thanks be to God is now come, and 
 then he put a period to that unparalleled labour, charge, and pains, ho had been at." 
 
 The last paragraph in the printed advertisement in which Thomason 
 is stated to have refused four thousand pounds for his collection is not to 
 be found in the Manuscript. It is hardly necessary to say that such a 
 statement is difficult of belief. Thomason was evidently an embarrastBd 
 man during his last days, and it is not probable that he would have 
 refused a sum equal to quite £16,000 of our present currency. Nor is it 
 easy to imagine that any library or collector would have offered such a 
 sum for a collection, however complete and well arranged, of almost 
 contemporary pamphlets and newspapers. 
 
 Nothing could be more natural at this period, especially if the main 
 object of the writer was to sell the collection to King Charles II., than 
 to make this and the other interesting assertions contained in the 
 advertisement. It is quite possible that he believed what he wrote. In 
 any case it was highly politic to assume that Thomason acted on behalf 
 of, and under the direct orders of, the King, and had formed his collection 
 solely "for his jStajesty's Use," while running every conceivable risk from
 
 PREFACE. xvii 
 
 the violence of the Army and the vengefulness or cuijidity of the 
 " Usurper." But in point of fact, the undoubtedly genuine note of 
 Thomason on the volume lent to Charles I. in the autumn of 1647 
 proves that the King then heard of his collection for the first time. Nor 
 is it easy to understand why he should have found it necessary to send 
 his collection in various directions or to conceal it with so much 
 elaboration in London. In common with his fellow Presbyterians, 
 Thomason was no doubt ready to believe any evil of Cromwell and of the 
 Independent army, but there is nothing in the history of the Civil War 
 to justify the idea that the officers or soldiers would have revelled in 
 breaking up a bookseller's stock ; while Cromwell was moi'e likely to 
 ha\ e bought the collection and commended the collector than to have 
 wilfully confiscated or destroyed a library."' 
 
 The account of the wanderings of Thomason's books given in the 
 advertisement is highly circumstantial, but I am inclined to think that 
 the nairative may possibly refer to a later date than the years 1645 to 
 1647. It may be that when Thomason was in real danger in consequence 
 of his complicity in the Love Conspiracy he endeavoured to save his 
 collection by dispersing or concealing it before he finally adopted the 
 scheme of sending it to Oxford and placing it under Barlow's care. 
 
 Nor, again, is it true that the manuscripts bound up with the printed 
 matter are royalist papers which " no man durst then venture to 
 publish.'" I describe them below, and will only note here that it would 
 be difficult to imagine anything more outspoken, bolder, or on occasion 
 more abusive, than the pamphlets and newspapers which were printed 
 in such profusion and must have had souie sort of circulation. 
 
 In 1683 Samuel Mearue died. By his will he bequeathed his stock 
 of books, including the Thomason collection, to his widow, Anne Mearne. 
 On the 15th May, 1684, the Privy Council issued an Order which is 
 printed in Beloe's Anecdotes, Vol. II. page 253, and in Notes and Queries, 
 1857, Second Series, Vol. IV. 41.S. The Order is thus worded : — 
 
 " At the Court at Whitehall,

 * Not many years later an instance occurred in which both Cromwell and the 
 officers of the Army showed their respect for literature in a remarkable manner. 
 After Archbishop Usher's death in 165G his library was offered for sale. Cardinal 
 jMazarin and Frederick III. of Denmark both bid for it, but Cromwell peremptorily 
 refused to allow so fine a library to go abroad, and it was purchased for £2,200 and 
 deposited in Dublin Castle. The money was raised by a subscription, the greater 
 part of which was contributed by the officers and soldiers of the Army in Ireland.

 xviii PREFACE. 
 
 Ma'y was pleased by S' Joseph Williamson, the Secretaiy of State, to comiuaud the 
 petitioners husband to purchase a collection of severall bookes, concerning matters 
 of state, being above thirty thousand in number, and being uniformly bound, are 
 contained in two thousand volumes and upwards, and that by reason of the great 
 charge they cost the pet" husband and the burthen they are upon her selfe and 
 family, by their lying undisposed of soe long. Therefore most humbly prayes his 
 Ma" leave to dispose of the said collection of bookes, as being a ready way to raise 
 money upon them to support her selfe and family : His INIa'^ in Council was 
 graciously pleased to give leave to the Pet', to dispose and make sale of the said 
 bookes as she shall thinke fit. Phi. Lloyd." 
 
 From Ann Mearne the collection passed successively to her son-in-law- 
 Thomas Sisson, to his son Henry Sisson, a druggist in Ludgate Hill, and 
 to Henry's daughter, Miss Sisson of Ormonde Street. 
 
 Although it remained unsold its existence was at no time entirely 
 forgotten, and the Sisson family made repeated efforts to sell it. In the 
 Monthly Miscellany or Memoirs for the Curious, 1708 (Vol. II. pp. 167-182), 
 appeared an Account of several Libraries in London, written by John 
 Bagford, in which he describes the collection as the work of Mr. Tomlinson 
 (a mistake repeated as late as 1812 in Nichols' Literary Anecdotes). 
 Bagford gives a legendary account of the incident related by Thomason. 
 " Charles I.," he writes, " wanting a small tract after strict enquiry at 
 last was informed that it w^as in the collection, upon which he took 
 coach and went to Thomason's house in Paul's Church-yard and there 
 read it and for his encouragement gave him .£10." The same article 
 atti-ibutes the catalogue in twelve volumes to Marmaduke Foster, an 
 Auctioneer of the later years of the seventeenth century. William Oldys, 
 who continued and enlarged Bagford's notes, adds : " The present owner 
 has not yet had, as I hear, more than three or four hundred offered for 
 them and that by the Duke of Chandos." * 
 
 On the 3rd December, 1709, liobert Jenkin, afterwards Master of 
 St. John's, Cambridge, writing to Thomas Baker of the same college on 
 materials for his History of St. John's College, says : " There is another 
 rarity here [in London] to be sold which is proffered to my Lord [the 
 first Viscount Weymouth]. It is an entire collection of Pamphlets in 
 number 30,000 bound in 2008 volumes. The Collection was begun by 
 King Charles' order, 1640 and is continued to 1660." {Cole Collection. 
 Vol. 30. Add. MSS. 5831, fol. 120.) 
 
 In October 1761 the collection was brought under the notice of 
 Mr. Thomas Hollis, a wealthy " patron " of literature and art, who was 
 generally known to his contemporaries as " Republican Hollis," and who 
 is perhaps best remembered by Johnson's pithy characterization: "He

 was a dull poor creature as ever lived, but I believe he would not have 
 done harm to a man whom he knew to be of very opposite principles to 
 his own." 
 
 The following passage from Blackburne's Memoirs of Thomas Hollis, 
 1780 (page 121), relates to this circumstance, but leaves us in doubt as to 
 whether Hollis himself advised either George III. or the Earl of Bute to 
 purchase the collection : — 
 
 " Oct. 18, 17G1. Mr. Hollis had a visit from Mr. Kent who left with him a MS. 
 account of a most curious and important collection of all the books and pamphlets 
 printed from the beginning of the year 1641. . . . Mr. Kent was informed that this 
 valuable collection was then to be sold, as he apprehended, for a trifling considera- 
 tion ; and as he heard had been offered to the Earl of [Bute]. But he had not 
 
 learned either the name of the person who made the collection, or who then owned 
 it. To this intelligence Mr. Hollis subjoins this memorandum. ' To inquire 
 farther about this matter, which may be of importance, and to procure the 
 collection, if possible, somehow for the public' The event of this discovery was 
 that the Earl of Bute purchased this collection of Miss Si.ssou of Ormonde Street for 
 £300 by order of his Majesty, and it was presented by him ' royally, most royally,' 
 says Mr. Hollis, ' to the British Museum, where probably it will long, very long, 
 rest in peace.' " 
 
 A somewhat different version of the purchase is given in a letter to 
 the London Chronicle, Dec. 17, 1763, printed in Hollis' Memoir,^, page 717, 
 and reprinted in the Annual Register, 1763, page 117 : — ■ 
 
 " These tracts were collected by a private gentleman by command of King 
 Charles II. who after the gentleman had, with the greatest assiduity, diligence and 
 fidelity, completed his task was mean enough to offer him such a price for the 
 collection as he could not accept of. The books remained in the collector's family 
 till 1761, when they were purchased by Lord Bute for between £300 and £100. But 
 as it was much to be regretted that such a valuable collection should be shut up in 
 any private library, to which no access can be had, as there may be to several 
 noblemen's libraries at Paris, his Majesty returned to Lord Bute the money he gave 
 for the books and presented them to the British Museum." 
 
 The collection was presented to the Trustees of the British Museum, 
 with a letter from the Earl of Bute, dated 22nd July, 1762, stating that 
 " His Majesty had pui'chased a curious collection of about 32,000 tracts 
 contained in about 2,000 volumes relating to the history of England 
 during the Civil Wars and ordered the same to be sent to the British 
 Museum to be kept there with the Royal Library for the use of the 
 Public." The volumes were rebound in a manner following as closely as 
 possible the style and order of the original binding and placed on the 
 shelves which they still occupy. 
 
 Of the many donations which have enriched the Library since its 
 foundation in 1759 few have been of greater benefit to successive 
 generations of scholars and students than this collection which we owe 
 to the generosity of King George III.
 
 XX PREFACE. 
 
 Macaulay, Thomas Carlyle,* and many other distinguished authors, 
 have drawn largely from its varied stores. To students of our own day, 
 the Thomason Tracts will be most closely associated with the name of 
 Samuel Rawson Gardiner, whose knowledge of the contents of the 
 collection, founded upon many years of close and constant study, was in 
 an extraordinary degree profound and exhaustive. 
 
 To turn from the history of the Thomason Tracts to the Tracts 
 themselves. A century had elapsed between the completion of the 
 collection and the date of its purchase by George III., and during that 
 long period it was transferred from Oxford to London, and probably 
 more than once removed from one part of Lfmdoii to another. It is not 
 astonishing that some portion of it should during all these years have 
 been lost or stolen. 
 
 The following is a complete list of the volumes which were missing 
 when the collection was deposited in the British Museum. I give the 
 numbers as they appear in Thomason's Catalogue — 
 
 Small Quartos, No. 87, containing 28 tracts, dated 16-21 Dec. 1642. 
 
 No. 123, „ 23 tracts, dated 26 Aug.-7 Sept. 1643. 
 
 No. 815, ., 33 tracts, dated 5-29 Dec. 1659. 
 
 Acts No. 12, ,, 20 tracts, dated May and June, 1654. 
 
 Octavos, Nos. G, 57, GO, 62, 87, 121, 151, 242, 269, 307, 330, 331, 333, 40G, 448, 
 449, 450, 451, 453, 454, 465, 470, 479, 574, 892. 
 
 Thomason uses the term " Octavo " for all small books, which he 
 bound up rather according to size than date. The missing octjivo 
 volumes contained in all 41 tracts of varying dates. There are in all 
 145 missing tracts, which were bound in 29 volumes. 
 
 The earlier estimates of the extent of the collection, since it came 
 into the possession of the Trustees of the British Museum, are little more 
 than guess work. Mr. Falconer Madan, however, in his interesting article 
 on the tracts published in Bihliographka, Yol. III. pp. 2'.Jl-308, has 
 carefully calculated the number of pieces. If my own estimate differs 
 from his, it is because we adopt a different basis of calculation. I count 
 each book or pamphlet as one item, irrespective of the number of volumes 
 or pai-ts, when these were issued at the same time ; but when the parts 
 were published separately (as, for instance, in the case of Edward's 
 Gangracna, part one of which was issued 2Qth Feb., part two, SSth May, 
 
 * In giving evidence before the Royal Commission on the British ftluseum in 
 February 1849, Carlyle described tbe Thomason Tracts thus: '• They are called the 
 King's Pamphlets, and in value I believe the whole world could not parallel them. 
 I consider them to be the most valuable set of documents connected with English 
 history ; greatly preferable to all the sheep-skins in the Tower and other places, for 
 informing the English what the English were in former times." (Report of the 
 Commissioners, 1850, page 271.)

 and part tliree 28th Dec. 1646), I count each part as a separate

 The question has often been asked, how far the collection can be 
 considered complete ; a question which does not admit of an unqualified 
 reply. Thomason's design was to form an historical rather than a 
 bibliographical library. Consequently he cared little to amass a number 
 of editions of the same book. A good instance of this is furnished by 
 the one copy of Eikwv Bao-iXiKi) in his collection. This he dates as 
 published, or received by him, on the 9th Feb. 1649, adding the note, 
 " Ye first impression," whereas there are in the British IVtuseum twenty- 
 two editions issued before the close of Mai-ch 1650, eleven of which are 
 dated 1648; showing that they were published in February and March 
 1649. 
 
 Again, he was usually contented with London reprints of the 
 productions of presses in the other towns of England, Scotland and 
 Ireland. If any of the original editions came into his hands they were, no 
 doubt, welcome, but he had no means of making exhaustive purchases 
 outside London, and a considerable number of books, pamphlets and
 
 xxii PREFACE. 
 
 newspapers printed at Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Dublin and 
 elsewhere escaped him altogether. 
 
 In 1653 and subsequent years the pamphlets known as ' Quaker Tracts ' 
 began to pour forth in amazing profusion. The epithet which Thomason 
 api^Iied to George Fox (see below) expresses the contempt of an orderly 
 and respectable Presbyterian citizen of the period for this new body of 
 " Sectaries." His collection of Quaker Tracts is therefore quite frag- 
 mentajy. To give only two instances, only forty-four pamphlets by 
 George Fox the elder and twenty -four by James Naylor appear in the 
 Collection. These are supplemented in the Library by ninety-three 
 additional tracts by Fox, and thirty -one by Naylor, most of which appeared 
 before the year 1661. 
 
 But after allowing for these deficiencies the collection of books printed 
 or sold in London is, as nearly as possible, complete. During the past 
 ten years it has been my duty to examine large numbers of books and 
 pamphlets issued between 1640 and 1660, either oifei-ed to the Library or 
 included in sale catalogues ; and while a certain proportion of works 
 published at Oxford, Cambridge and other provincial towns, as well as 
 large numbers of Quaker Tracts, have been added to the Library, I have 
 found only five London pamphlets not already included in the Thomason 
 Collection. 
 
 In the spring of 1641 Thomason began to write on the title-pages of 
 many of the tracts the date when each came into his possession, or in 
 some instances the date of publication. These memoranda are of the 
 highest value, often enabling us to date books which it would otherwise 
 be impossible to arrange in chronological order. But useful as they are, 
 Thomason's dates are not infallible. They must, as a rule, be taken to 
 represent only the approximate date of actual publication. In some 
 instances two copies of the same issue are given different dates. In many 
 cases live or six books are dated on the same day, followed by an interval 
 of four or five days after which several others are dated together, 
 showing that Thomason either purchased several books on the same day 
 and then waited for a few days before he bought the next batch, or that 
 he had not always time to mark the exact date on which he acquired 
 each book. 
 
 The manuscripts, ninety-seven in number, aie bound up in chronologi- 
 cal sequence with the printed portion of the collection. Eighty-seven of 
 them are in Thomason's handwriting. A list of these will be found in 
 the Index (Vol. II. pp. 739-40). They hardly bear out the description 
 given of them in the Advertisemenf as being written "on the King's 
 behalf, which no man durst then venture to publish without endangering 
 his Ruine ; " nevertheless, many of them are of considerable historical value. 
 Such, to give a few examples, are, The Kcnfitfh Petition of Nov. 1644
 
 PREFACE. xxiii 
 
 (Vol. I. 346) ; An unanimous Answer of the Souldiers to tlie Commis- 
 sioners with a rhymed address found posted upon the Lobby of the House 
 of Commons, 2nd June, 1647 (Vol. I. 514); The Address to the 
 London Apprentices, 11th June, 1647 (Vol. I. 518); The Besolutions 
 of the Court of Common Council in favour of a personal treaty loitli the 
 King, 24th June, 1648, presumably taken down by Thomason, then a 
 Member of the Common Council (Vol. I. 639) ; An Ordinance of the 
 Commons of England constituting the High Court for the Trial of 
 Charles L* There are also a number of verses and epigrams, of which 
 perhaps the most interesting is the ' Distik made upon the ffower 
 hon'''" Lords yt usually sate and made a howse in the yeare 1648" 
 (Vol. I. 735). 
 
 Almost as valuable as the manuscript pieces are Thomason's notes, 
 upwards of eighty in number. In attempting to trace his biography I 
 have already given a few of these notes which relate to himself personally. 
 By far the greater number consist of annotations on the pamphlets as 
 they came into his hands. Sometimes he supplies the name of the writer, 
 tills in initials or conjectures authorship. It will suffice to give one 
 instance of his ingenuity in doing the latter. On the title-page of a 
 pamphlet entitled, A loay to make the poor happy. By Peter Cornelius van 
 Zarich-Zec, Thomason writes, " I believe this pamphlet was made by 
 Mr. Hugh Peeters, who hath a man named Cornelius Glover" (Vol. II. 
 • 235). A very shrewd deduction. 
 
 In no less than fifteen instances, Thomason notes that a broadside, or 
 as he usually terms it a ' Libell,' was scattered up and down the streets 
 during the night. In a few other cases he states that a pamphlet or 
 broadside was given away in Westminster Hall, fastened on a church 
 door, or distributed by Quakers. Sometimes his notes record an 
 interesting event or are of a satirical character. Here are a few 
 examples. 
 
 18 June, 1642. A Proclamation forbidding Levies of Forces without 
 His Majesties Pleasure. Thomason writes, " This proclamation should 
 have been proclaimed by the Sherifes of Loudon, but attempting it they 
 were knockt off their horses" (Vol. I. 122). 
 
 June, 1642. A Sermon by Thomas Cheshire, a royalist divine. 
 Thomason adds to the words, " Printed for the Author " the note " because 
 none else would " (Vol. I. 126). 
 
 * It should be noted that this is the first ' Act ' passed by the sole authority of 
 the House of Commons on the 6th Jan., two days after their resolution declaring 
 that the consent of the King or House of Lords was unnecessary for the ' being of a 
 Law.' The Act was not printed separately, nor does it appear in Scobell's Acts and 
 Ordinances, 1640-165G. In fact, so far as I can discover, it was first printed in 
 Cobbett's State Trials, 1809.
 
 xxiv PREFACE. 
 
 6 April, 1646. A defence of Christian Libert >/ at the Lords Table, 
 by John Graunt ; the words " A comfit maker in Bucklersbury " are 
 added after the author's name (Vol. I. 4.30). 
 
 On the 2nd August, 1647, a serious riot took place in the Guildhall. 
 A number of aggrieved Independents published Two petitiom to the 
 Artiiy and the House of Lords concerning the late Lord Major, Alderman 
 Bunce and others who loere engaged in the bloody murther at Guild Hall. 
 Thomason adds the note, " Both abominably false" (Vol. I. 563). 
 
 22 March, 1652. To a tract by William Lilly, Thomason appends to 
 the author's name the unquotable epithet which will be found on page 
 864 of Vol. I. 
 
 1 June, 1657. To the name of George Fox, Thomason adds, "Alias 
 Goose, Quaker" (Vol. II. 187). 
 
 These few examples will serve to illustrate the interesting character 
 of these notes. 
 
 Accompanying the collection is a MS. folio catalogue in twelve 
 volumes. This catalogue is attributed by Bagford (Mouthly Mixcellany, 
 Vol. III. 177) to Marmaduke Foster, an Auctioneer, but I think that 
 there can be no doubt that it was compiled under the direction of George 
 Thomason. The entries are in several different hands and were probably 
 transcribed by his clerks. 
 
 The only passage undoubtedly in Thomason's own handwriting is the 
 motto written on the margin of the first page of Vol. I. "Actions yt 
 may be presidents to posteritie ought to have their records, and moi'it a 
 carefuU preservation. Know. Turk. Hys." The words are obviously 
 (juoted from Richard Knolles' ' History of the Turks,' but I regret to 
 say that I have not succeeded in verifying the reference. 
 
 The principle of arranging the entries in chronological order was 
 adopted by him throughout his catalogue, Ijut it has been marred by an 
 unfortunate division of the work into five parts, Small Quartos, Large 
 Quartos, Folios, Octavos and Acts (the latter a somewhat unintelligible 
 heading, since it contains not only acts and ordinances, but includes 
 many political pamphlets). Thus the reader would be unable to obtain 
 the Ijooks or newspapers of any special date from his catalogue without 
 consulting each part, a serious drawback to the practicability of Carlyle's 
 suggestion to print and distribute Thomason's original Catalo.gue. 
 (Minutes of Evidence before the Boynl Commission on the British Museum, 
 1840, pp. 274, 282.) 
 
 The present catalogue is divided into three sections. The fir.st 
 consists of a chronological list of all the books, pamphlets and 
 manuscripts contained in the collection, arranged, as far as possible, 
 according to the dates of the events which they record. In the case of 
 books or pamphlets not referring to any special event, Thomason's own
 
 PREFACE. XXV 
 
 dates have been used. In many instances where he a£Fords no information, 
 it has been possible to discover from the text or otherwise the month of 
 publication. In all such cases the books have been grouped at the end of 
 each month. In other instances (fortunately not very numerous), where 
 it has only been possible to find or conjecture the year of publication, the 
 books have been placed at the end of the year to which they refer. The 
 new style has been adopted throughout ; each year begi n ni n g with the 
 1st January. A small number of tracts of the years 1658-1661 which 
 had been separated from the rest of the collection were found too late to 
 allow of the insertion of their titles in their proper place. These have 
 been placed in the Appendix, Vol. II. pp. 441-446. 
 
 The second section of the Catalogue is devoted to Newspapers,, 
 arranged chronologically according to the year and month of their 
 issue, thus enabling the reader to see at a glance what newspapers were 
 published during each month between 1640 and 1662. 
 
 The third section consists of an Index, which includes the titles of 
 books, pamphlets, etc., as well as the names of persons and places, 
 religious and political bodies, historical events, and in fact any matter 
 which may be of assistance to the reader. 
 
 In this Index the title of each book is given under the name of 
 the author, if known. Anonjonous books are entered under the first word 
 of their title ; while all books relating to a definite event or subject will 
 be found also under the heading of the event or subject to which they 
 refer. Newspapers are indexed under their titles followed by the date 
 of publication. 
 
 Since this catalogue was printed Mr. Falconer Madan has discovered 
 that a number of pamphlets issued during the course of the Civil War 
 and bearing the imprint of Leonard Lichfield and other Oxford printers 
 were in reality printed in London. jNIr. Madan hopes shortly to publish 
 a list of these forged imprints. 
 
 The work of cataloguing and indexing the collection has been carried 
 out, under my editorship, by Messrs. R. F. Sharp, R. A. Streatfeild and 
 W. A. Marsden, Assistants in the Department of Printed Books.
