Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 15 Two years ago, in a paper read on April 20, 1899, and printed in volume xiii. Of the Transactions of this Society, I traced the early history of the famous regiment of horse raised by Cromwell, the troopers of which are popularly known by the name of the Ironsides, though that name properly belongs not to them alone, but to the cavalry of the Cromwellian army in general. That paper closed with the dissolution of the army of the Eastern Association in April 1645, and with the consequent subdivision of the regiment which Cromwell had raised. I propose now to trace the his tory of the two regiments which sprang out of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
