_Sir Henry Slingsby._--This gallant cavalier, who was murdered (as Lloyd
says in his _Memoirs_) by Oliver Cromwell in 1658, wrote an account of the
scenes in which he bore a part, from 1638 to 1648, which he called
"Commentaries, containing many remarkable occurrences during the Civil
Wars." Can any of your correspondents tell me where the original manuscript
is to be found, and whether it was ever printed? I have seen an indifferent
transcript, beginning, "The chappel at Red House was built by my father,
Sir Henry Slingsby." If it has never been published, it would be an
acceptable contribution to the historical memoirs of the times, and worth
the attention of the Camden Society.
