Excerpt from The Commonwealth and Restoration Stage There remains the pleasure of acknowledging the expert assistance of Mr. Hilary Jenkinson and Mr.' J. J. O'reilly, Assistant Keepers of the Public Records; and the helpful suggestions of Miss Lucy Drucker and of Dr. Arthur Sprague. My colleague, Dr. A. S. Borgman, has very kindly read and criticized the proof sheets. Without the cordial eu couragement of Professor H. E. Rollins I should hardly have undertaken this work, to which his labors have so largely contributed. Especially am I indebted to Professor G. L. Kittredge, whose alert and friendly interest from the begin ning has furthered my researches in every way; and above all, to my wife, who has not only made the labor a pleasure, but assumed no small part of it herself.

The Crown's Servants is a major new study of English central government and the royal court from the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to the death of Charles II in 1685. A sequel to the author's two earlier studies, of royal officials under Charles I (1625-1642) and office-holders under the Commonwealth and the Cromwellian Protectorate (1649-1660), it sets out to explore the extent to which the restoration of the monarchy undid the changes brought about under the Republic. The author looks at the institutions of government, its methods and procedures, the terms and conditions of service, and its personnel both collectively and individually. He considers the policies, tasks, successes, and failures of the regime, and relates these to the process of state formation and to the impact of the state on society. This is both the culmination of a lifetime's work and a crucial contribution in its own right to the history of seventeenth century England and the development of English government.
