Excerpt from Calendar of State Papers: Domestic Series, of the Reign of Charles I, 1627 1628, Preserved in the State Paper Department Her Majesty's Public Record Office The period embraced by the present volume was one of great activity and interest. England, at war with both France and Spain, was engaged, either as principal or ally, in hostile operations which extended from the Canary Islands to the Baltic. This busy interval comprised a searching inquiry into the state of the Navy, conducted by Special Commissioners, the collection of a General Loan, levied by other Special Commissioners appointed in every county, military assistance sent to the King of Denmark under the command of Sir Charles Morgan, the Duke of Buckingham's expedition to the Isle of Rhe, contemplated measures for raising still farther sums of money by the exercise of the royal authority, and, finally, the abandonment of those measures, and the determination, for the third time, to summon a Parliament and solicit a supply. Many of the Conway Papers, recently acquired by the State Paper Office, in the manner mentioned in the preface to the previous volume of the Calendar of Charles I., fall within this period, and have extended this part of the Calendar in a way not at first anticipated, but great additional value has been thereby given to the collection of papers.
