Volume, stamped on the spine `Papers relating to Cromwell and the Regicides`, containing materials assembled by George Chalmers.
Scope and Contents
The date is given on folio 34 verso.
The papers consist of:
(i) notes and extracts relating to the history of Great Britain in the mid 17th century, in particular notes of treaties with other countries, 1654, and their provisions (folio 1), extracts from the Books of the Privy Council, 1660 (folio 7) and notes and extracts concerning the Regicides 1660-1662 (folio 12);
(ii) a chronological list, compiled apparently about the same time, of treaties between England (later Great Britain) and other countries, 1514-1659 (folio 35). The purpose for which these materials were assembled is not known: Chalmers does not appear to have published anything on the subject.
