Excerpt from Cromwell's Place in History: Founded on Six Lectures Delivered in the University of Oxford

IT would be as undesirable as it is impossible to repro duce in print words spoken without notes to a sym pathetic audience. Much even of my argument had passed from my mind when I was requested to publish what I had said last autumn. That I have been able to keep before myself the general line of thought on which my lectures were based is owing to two students of Lady Margaret Hall, Miss L. Verney and Miss Gunter, who kindly placed their notes at my disposal. To a certain extent, however, the lectures have been recast. Things fit to be spoken are not always fit to be printed, and things fit to be printed are not always fit to be spoken.
