Excerpt from Eliot, Hampden, and Pym, or a Reply of "the Author of a Book" Entitled "Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First" To "the Author of a Book" Entitled "Some Memorials of John Hampden, His Party, and His Times" Of the perfect} repentance of our irasciblefi Eliot, I have little doubt, and of the renewal of the ancient friendships of the two families Lord N ugent has been so fortunate as to have recovered certain evidence. But it is equally evident that the Moyles could never be induced to forget what they had forgiven the tale still went on from the sufferer to the relatives, for the grandson told it to Echard, as the daughter did to the ancestor of the Devonshire family. I must not leave the present subject without accounting for an apparent omission of mine. In that Correspondence of Sir John Eliot, confided to my care by Lord Eliot, and which Lord Nugent has after me examined, it seems that his. Lordship has fortunately discovered two letters addressed to Mr. Moyle by Sir J ohn Eliot at a distant day when the Patriot lay a prisoner in the Tower. They prove the recon ciliation of the parties, and as I had not noticed them Lord Nugent expresses his astonishment, observing that no man would be justified in suspecting such extraordinary disingenuity.' He will allow me to state the occasion of this apparent oversight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
