Excerpt from English Colonial Administration Under Lord Clarendon, 1660-1667 The period between the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660 and the Revolution of 1688 was, in England, an epoch of the greatest commercial activity and progress. The begin nings made in the time Of James I, by the founding Of com mercial companies, had by the end of the Cromwellian epoch begun to produce abundant results. Trading companies had proved themselves successful and had increased in numbers until they now carried on their operations in all parts of the known world. In fact the experimental stage in English commercial expansion had been passed and the period of substantial gain had been entered upon.
