Excerpt from Commons Debates for 1629, Vol. 10: Critically Edited and an Introduction Dealing With Parliamentary Sources for the Early Stuarts It might be expected that the Introduction should contain a discussion of the session of 1629, or at least a careful chronological narrative of it based upon the sources published. We believe that those sources tell their own story, and, that, Where they do not, the footnotes will enable the reader to piece it together. The narrative history of the Stuart period has been worked out by a great historian with extraordinary accuracy. To tell the story of 1629 more fully and more accurately in the light of such new information as may have been gained could only be worth while if the story were told in relation to what had gone before, if the constitutional background of the struggle in 1629 were elaborately explained. This can be done only when similarly complete materials for earlier parliaments are available. We have already gathered all the known materials for 1628, transliterated them, and partially annotated them. We are doing the same thing for the Parliament of 1626. For the first few months of the later but most significant Long Parliament an edition of d'ewes' great diary, annotated from all the other diaries, is completed and will be published within a year. But, when these are done, much remains to be done. There are two accounts of the Commons debates for 1620-21 that have never been used, one exceedingly full; there is another account for 1604-07 that has never been made use of by historians. Not one third of the note-books for the Long Parliament have ever been printed, few of them have been used save by the great Gardiner, and he only tells his plain unvarnished tale of what came next.
