Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell: Or England's Great Protector Many years having elapsed, since this, my second, attempt at historical romance made its appearance, in a period of civil and commercial darkness and depression, and the work itself having been long out of print and withheld from the book market, I have determined to reproduce it, thoroughly revised and corrected, and in some passages re-written, in the hope that it will not be unacceptable to those of my readers, who, familiar with my later works, have not chanced to fall upon this, which was, perhaps, the first to procure for me, however small, a share of popular favor. The faults, to which a fair and generally favorable criticism chiefly objected in it, not, I now think, without cause, a certain turgidity of style, and the length and involution of the sentences, have been repaired, as far as possible; and, while the plot and incidents of the narrative, and more particularly the scheme and sentiment of the work, have been unchanged, much of the language and not a few of the thoughts have been altered, I trust, for the better.
