Synopsis
Excerpt from A Collection of Scarce and Valuable Tracts, on the Most Interesting and Entertaining Subjects, but Chiefly Such as Relate to the History and Constitution of These Kingdoms, Vol. 8: Selected From an Infinite Number in Print and Manuscript, in the Royal, Cotton, Sion, and Other Public, as Well as Private, Libraries; Particularly That of the Late Lord Somers
At the period of the Restoration, Algernon Sydney, the sternest and most inflexible among the English republicans, was acting, on the part of England, as an ambassador sent to mediate peace between Sweden and Denmark. His father, the Earl of Leicester, was naturally desirous to procure him some assurance of safety, before he should again return to England. But although General Monk, on account of former obligations, requested him to come to England, with many offers of favour and advantage, his father seems to have thought the step too hazardous to be thought of. Algernon Sydney accordingly remained abroad until 1677, when the Earl of Lei coster was able to procure him a full pardon from Charles II.
