Unlocking hidden history: this edition reopens a trove of private manuscripts and a pivotal 1640 treaty.

Notes of the Treaty carried on at Ripon between King Charles I. and the Covenanters of Scotland, a. d. 1640, presents Sir John Borough’s contemporaneous notes of a critical moment in British history. Drawn from a private collection discovered at Crowcombe Court, the volume illuminates how manuscripts—ranging from state papers to correspondence and parliamentary records—shape our understanding of the era. The edition also contextualizes the discovery, describing how the Carew family supported its publication and how the materials came to public view through the Camden Society.
