[ENGLISH CIVIL WAR]. A True List of the Names of those Persons appointed by the Rump Parliament to sit as a Council of State. [London: ca. 1660]. 4to leaf broadside. Approximately 285 x 175 mm. Stab-holes on left margin, some occasional marginal wear, some light toning, faint soiling, some ink and pencil notations on recto and verso, Harvard University de-accession stamps on verso, one horizontal crease at center. This broadside lists the members of the Council of State as well as the “Oath of Abjuration” they took in order to be council members. Some members include General Monk [sic, should be “Monck”], Lord Fairfax, Vice-Admiral Lawson, Sir Thomas Widdrington, and more. This broadside issued by the victorious Royalists, lists men whom they consider traitors who cooperated with the Parliamentarians who fought against the monarchy under Charles I. The final portion of the broadside: “To the Ingenious and Impartial Reader. You are desired seriously to consider whether any person above-named ought to have any share in the Government of either Church or State that took that Horrid Oath of Abjuration.” New Wing (T2733A) dates this at 1680, but as the Restoration began in 1660 with Charles II’s assumption of the throne, ca. 1660 may be more appropriate (Monck, Fairfax, and Lawson were all long dead by 1680).
