Excerpt from Letters and Journals of Robert Baillie, A. M., Principal of the University of Glasgow, 1637-1662, Vol. 1 of 3 Such are the leading topics in the following series of Letters. That the Author was a faithful as well as a diligent observer of public events, may be asserted; and his personal share in many of the important transactionsalluded to, and his habitual intercourse with the chief actors of the time, furnished him with the most favourable opportunities for obtaining correct information. That his Letters should so fully describe the progress of public affairs, arises partly from the circumstance of so many of them being addressed to his relation, mr. William spang, minister of the Scotish Church at Camp vere, and afterwards at Middleburg, in Zealand, during the whole period of twenty-five years stated correspondence; while the practice which Baillie fortunately adopted at an early period, of retaining copies of his Letters, has furnished after-times with a work which must always command attention both from the importance of the subject, his own integrity and honesty of purpose, so conspicuous in his familiar and most unreserved communications.
