L'ESTRANGE, ROGER A Modest Plea Both for the Caveat, and the Author of It with Some Notes Upon Mr James Howell, and His Sober Inspections.
London 1661 Second Edition Small 8vo
Printed for Henry Brome at the Gun in Ivy-Lane. Roger L'Estrange ( 1616-17040 was a strong Royalist supporter during the English Civil War and imprisoned under Cromwell. This pamphlet is in reply to the writings of James Howell whom he accused of being ambiguous in his attitude to Oliver Cromwell... In 1661 Howell " issued a `Cordial for the Cavaliers,' professing somewhat cynically to console those supporters of the king who found themselves ill-requited for their services in his cause. His equivocal attitude led him into a bitter controversy with Sir Roger L'Estrange, who attacked his `Cordial' in a `Caveat for the Cavaliers.' Howell replied in `Some sober Inspections made into those Ingredients that went to the composition of a late Cordial call'd A Cordial for the Cavaliers.' L'Estrange retorted at the close of his 'Modest Plea both for the Caveat and Author of it' with a list of passages from Howell's earlier works to prove that he had flattered Cromwell and the Long parliament. " (Sydney Lee - DNB). Disbound, 40 pp. Contents browned.
