Excerpt from The Life, Progresses, and Rebellion of James, Duke of Monmouth, &C., To His Capture and Execution, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Full Account of the Bloody Assize, and Copious Biographical Notices These pages, considered in an historical point of view, Will prove of great benefit in after years. They furnish a death-blow to incipient family records. Such a statement requires elu cidation. Some persons, falling into the opposite extreme to that complained of, - a feeling of shame and degradation at any connection with Mon mouth's Rebellion, -begin to be proud of any ancestor that was with the Duke, and are now beginning to set down, in family Bibles, incidents in the life of their forefathers connected with the campaign, the ﬂight, and even at the execution. Some incorrect and confused accounts have been entered. In the church books of Dissenting Meeting-houses. These entries -might pass some years hence for facts, Whereas they are but stories gleaned from traditional accounts of old persons. Tradition, with respect to Monmouth's Rebellion, has become too much obscured to be relied upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life, Progresses, and Rebellion of James, Duke of Monmouth, &C., To His Capture and Execution, Vol. 2 of 2: With a Full Account of the Bloody Assize, and Copious Biographical Notices The King's regular troops were near at hand, and an alarm was created by a party of Lord Oxford's horse. 1 Rainy weather now set in, which was much wanted for the land. There had been excessive drought for two years. The winters having likewise proved severe, there was such a dearth for want of rain, as Evelyn, in his Diary, records, had never happened in his memory. The men had to march in an exceedingly wet day and for some time the weather was inclement. Such is not unfrequently the case in our climate in June and July after a fine April and May, when there is all the appearance, excepting in temperature, of the wintry season. The commissaries served out provisions on the march. In this wet weather the army arrived at Glastonbury, where the ruins of the famed abbey exist, second only to those of Tintern. A description of them becomes unnecessary, from the numbers who have visited that interesting spot. The abbot's kitchen, still uninjured by time, and those parts of the abbey that afforded shelter, were filled with Monmouth's men, as were also the two churches. Large fires were lighted by them.
