An Apologie for the Royal Party (1659); and A Panegyric to Charles the Second (1661)

A vital window into the tumultuous era of the English Restoration, "An Apologie for the Royal Party; and A Panegyric to Charles the Second" offers a compelling perspective on the political landscape of 17th-century Britain. Authored by the noted diarist John Evelyn, this volume comprises two powerful works reflecting the royalist sentiment following the Interregnum.

The "Apologie" serves as a defense of those who remained loyal to the crown during a period of immense upheaval, while the "Panegyric" is a laudatory tribute to Charles II, celebrating his return to power. Evelyn's writings provide invaluable insight into the complex politics and shifting allegiances of the time.

This meticulously prepared edition offers a rare opportunity to engage with primary source material from a pivotal moment in British history. A must-read for anyone interested in the Restoration period, political theory, or the reign of Charles II, this collection offers a thought-provoking examination of loyalty, power, and the enduring legacy of the English monarchy.
