This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born Edward Hyde in Wiltshire on Feburary 18, 1609. Edward Hyde was the eldest surviving son of Henry Hyde of Dinton, Wiltshire.
He was educated at Oxford. He studied law at the Middle Temple and was admitted to the bar in 1633.
Clarendon became a member of the parliamentary opposition to Charles I, sitting in both the Short and the Long Parliaments (1640). A member of the opposition, he supported the impeachment of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, adviser of the King, but he did not support the attack on the Anglican Church which proposed to deny seats in Parliament to bishops. In January 1642, feeling that the King had granted all that could reasonably be expected, Clarendon left the opposition and gave his support to Charles I, joining the court at York in June 1642. During the Great Rebellion he was one of the King's most trusted advisers, and in 1645 he was made one of the counselors of Charles, Prince of Wales, later Charles II, going into exile with him in 1646. Clarendon was a bitter opponent of the Queen Mother, Henrietta Maria, but the Prince kept him as his counselor. Nevertheless, in 1649 Clarendon welcomed the opportunity of leaving the exiled court to serve as ambassador to Spain. In 1651 he rejoined the Prince in Paris and from then until the Restoration in 1660 was his chief adviser. In 1660 Clarendon assumed the office of Lord Chancellor of England, to which he had been appointed in 1658, and in 1661 he was made Earl of Clarendon. As the King's chief minister, Clarendon became increasingly unpopular at court. With the unsuccessful conclusion of the Dutch War in 1667, he was the object of much abuse and unjust accusation, and the King dismissed him on August 30, 1667. In October he was impeached by the Commons, and in November he left England to spend the rest of his life in exile in France. He died in Rouen on December 9, 1674.
