DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Hugh Peter: Preacher, Patriot, Philanthropist, Fourth Pastor of the First Church in Salem, Massachusetts; A Mosaic The workman on this mosaic has tried, bit by bit, to build up a portrait and, in a general way, a life of this interesting man. The result is necessarily rough and incomplete, but a nicer finish would only amplify without adding value to these pages. The end in view was not elaboration or beauty of style, but exactness, and a near and correct sight of our subject, through his friends, acquaintances and himself. Although but Six years in this country, be yet left a lasting stamp of his own work and life upon New England; add to this the fact that to the end he spoke of New England as home, and we may freely claim him as one of the founders of our Commonwealth and common country. The workman has sought to sink himself in his subject, and hardly more than two or three pages are in his own words all else is in the language of others as far as possible in the words of those who lived intimately, or at least contemporaneously, with Hugh Peter. No eulogy is attempted, facts are given and the reader can weigh for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn August 18, 1648, with no relief from the siege in sight, the royalist garrison holding Colchester Castle surrendered and Oliver Cromwell's army firmly ended the rule of Charles I of England. To send a clear message to the fallen monarch, the rebels executed four of the senior officers captured at the castle. Yet still the king refused to accept he had lost the war. As France and other allies mobilized in support of Charles, a tribunal was hastily gathered and a death sentence was passed. On January 30, 1649, the King of England was executed. This is the account of the fifty-nine regicides, the men who signed Charles I's death warrant. Recounting a little-known corner of British history, Charles Spencer explores what happened when the Restoration arrived. From George Downing, the chief plotter, to Richard Ingoldsby, who claimed he was forced to sign his name by his cousin Oliver Cromwell, and from those who returned to the monarchist cause and betrayed their fellow regicides to those that fled the country in an attempt to escape their punishment, Spencer examines the long-lasting, far-reaching consequences not only for those who signed the warrant, but also for those who were present at the trial, and for England itself. A powerful tale of revenge from the dark heart of England's past, and a unique contribution to seventeenth-century history, Killers of the King tells the incredible story of the men who dared to assassinate a monarch.
