This collection, edited by Francis Maseres, brings together three significant historical memoirs from 17th-century England: 'Memoirs Of Sir John Berkeley' by John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley; 'Sundry Reasons, Inducing Major Robert Huntingdon To Lay Down His Commission' by Robert Huntingdon; and 'Short Memorials Of Thomas Lord Fairfax' by Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax. These firsthand accounts offer invaluable insights into the political and military events of the era, particularly the English Civil War and its aftermath. Berkeley’s memoirs provide a detailed perspective on the royalist side, while Huntingdon’s document elucidates the motivations behind his resignation from the parliamentary army. Fairfax’s 'Short Memorials' presents a narrative from a prominent figure in the parliamentary forces. Together, these works present diverse viewpoints crucial for understanding the complexities of this pivotal period in British history.
