Description

In 1593, in response to strict censorship in England, English Puritans in Scotland printed a volume of letters, petitions and arguments titled Parte of a Register, which was smuggled into England.

Manuscripts for a second book were collected but never published, and were later acquired by Roger Morrice (1628–1702), the Puritan diarist.

They are now housed at Dr Williams's Library in London.

This is a two-volume study of the 257 documents, which date from 1570 to 1590.

They include Puritan letters, petitions, arguments and records of persecution by ecclesiastical authorities, and together constitute valuable evidence of the aims and concerns of the early Puritan movement.

Compiled by the ecclesiastical historian Albert Peel (1886–1949) and first published in 1915, this catalogue introduces the collection, lists its contents, and includes indexes of manuscripts, authors, people, places and subjects.
