"This curious Diary embraces thirteen years of the most important portion of the civil war under Charles I., and it is interesting to see the views of that deplorable conflict brought home to the hearths and bosoms of domestic fe, by interspersing the narrative of public events with pictures of their evil consequences on every class of society. this consists a true charm; for the fine moral and religious tone, the love of nature, the homely conduct of family affairs, the condition of various ranks, the Isaac Walton-like simplicity of feeling, are here all finely thrown toge ther to make a general and genuine panorama of that troubled age. We leave the later dangers of Lord Willoughby, when so nearly sacrificed by those whose cause he espoused, till he found the king's murder resolved upon, to furnish much more agreeable reading to those who may look from our extracts to find this pleasant volume as entertaining as we have done."-LITERARY GAZETTE.
