Clark's biography of the controversial Cromwell is mostly sympathetic, as he explains in the preface: "If the historians, poets, novelists, biographers, essayists, reviewers and writers of school histories who wrote adversely to Oliver Cromwell between the years 1660 and 1860 were alive, the largest room in the British Museum Library would not hold them.

Clark's biography of the controversial Cromwell is mostly sympathetic, as he explains in the preface: "If the historians, poets, novelists, biographers, essayists, reviewers and writers of school histories who wrote adversely to Oliver Cromwell between the years 1660 and 1860 were alive, the largest room in the British Museum Library would not hold them. For those who, between the years named, did partial justice to Oliver's memory a small alcove would suffice. In that alcove would be writers like Nathan Ben Saddi, who suggests that the Protector was both a "righteous man" and a "rogue;" and Smollet, who says that he was a "compound of villainy and virtue." Within those two hundred years Macaulay, with one exception, was the only great writer who justly measured and fairly described the Protector. The exception was Thomas Carlyle. Carlyle, by five years of patient and impatient toil, has made it possible for such books as the present one to be written; and yet, while making much use of the "Letters and Speeches," I have made but little use of the elucidations of this great biographer. To the present writer, Oliver is the most interesting man who has ever had connection with the English Government; more competent judges have pronounced him the ablest ruler who has governed England."
