As long ago as 1894, C. H. Firth wrote that Bampfield's "biographical 'Apology,' published at The Hague in 1685, is a book of the utmost rarity, and deserves reprinting." Yet the Apology has never before been reprinted, presumably because of Bampfield's reputation as a spy for the protectorate.
The Apology is primarily a memoir of the reign of Charles I. Bampfield, twenty-six at the time of the king's death, lived many more years, many of them years of vigorous and varied activities. These years are recounted in the second half of this volume, Bampfield's Later Career. The biographical record provided by the Apology, and corroborated by the Memoirs of Anne, Lady Halkett, can be supplemented by Bampfield's voluminous correspondence, published and unpublished, in both French and English. Bampfield wrote most of the letters as intelligence reports. Though they include only incidental references to his personal activities, cumulatively they provide a detailed account of his life, and an informed commentary on national and international affairs as well.
