 was the eldeft Ton of King Charles II. by Mrs. Lucy 
 Walters, daughter of Richard Walters, Efq; and was 
 born at Rotterdam, in Holland, April 9, 1649, and 
 went by the name of James Crofts until his Majefty's

 him over into England, and an apartment was a- 
 figned him in Whitehall. The next year the King 
 created him Baron of Tindale, Earl of Doncafter, and 
 Duke of Monmouth, and made him knight of the

 88 A SHORT VIEW or THE 
 
 death of his Grace the Duke of Albemarle in 1669, 
 he was conftituted general of his Majefty's forces, 
 lord lieutenant of the eaft-riding of Yorkfhire, go- 
 vernor of the town and citadel of Hull, and chief 
 juftice in eyre of all his Majefty's forefts and chafes 
 fouth of Trent; and in 1672 he was conftituted lord 
 high chamberlain of Scotland. 
 
 The fame year 1672, he commanded the fix thou- 
 fand Englifh and Scots which joined the French army 
 on the frontiers of Holland, and was conftituted lieu- 
 tenant-general of the forces of Lewis XIV. being 
 prefent at the taking of Rhineburgh, Doefburgh, and 
 Zutphen, and at the reduftinn of Utrecht, where the 
 French king kept his 'court for forr.e time. In the 
 year 1673, he was at the fiege of Maeftricht, and 
 commanded at the at r ack of the counterfcarp. The 
 town being taken, the Duke with the Britifh for^e? 
 withdrew, it not being thought for the intereft of 
 England to aflift the French in making an entire con- 
 queft of the United Provinces. 
 
 The Duke was elefted chancellor of the univerfiry 
 of Cambridge in 1674; and as he had formerly com- 
 manded the forces fent to the afiiilance of the French 
 againft the Dutch, he made a campaign under the 
 Prince of Orange, in the year 1678, againft theFrench, 
 and was at the attack of the abbey of St. Dennis. 
 
 The Field Conventiclers in Scotland breaking out 
 into rebellion in the year 1679, and having afTembled 
 a very formidable force, the Duke of Monmouth was 
 fent down to fupprefs them ; and giving the rebels 
 battle at Bothwell-bridge on the 22d of June, totally 
 defeated them, taking a great number of prifoners, 
 among whom were feveral of the murderers of the 
 archbiihop of St. Andrew's; and returning to court 
 in triumph, appeared at that time very high in the 
 King's favour. Nor was he lefs in the favour of the 
 people, on his appearing at the head of what was 
 called the Proteftant Party, and ftiewing an uncom-

 mon zeal againft thofe who were accufed of the Po- 
 pilh Plot ; but the King falling flck, and the Duke of 
 York being fent for over from the Netherlands, and 
 finding the Duke of Monmouth had rendered himfelf 
 exceeding popular, was apprehenfive of his having 
 an eye upon the crown : he procured him therefore 
 to be difmifled from all his places, and fent abroad ; 
 but the King recovering from his illriefs, thought it 
 convenient alfo that the Duke of York fhould return 
 to Flanders before the meeting of the parliament. 
 The Duke of York thereupon refided atBruflels, and 
 the Duke of Monmouth at Utrecht ; but the Duke of 
 Monmouth on a fudden returned from Holland, with- 
 out the King's leave, and arriving at London on the 
 ayth of November, about midnight, the watch gave 
 notice of it in the feveral wards. The people there- 
 upon immediately illuminated their houfes, rung the 
 bells, and made bonfires, as if it had been for fome 
 notable victory ; but the Duke of Monmouth coming 
 over without the King's leave, did not think fit to. 
 attend the court : and foon after his friends the Lord* 
 ShaftlBury, Ruflel, and feveral other perfons of dif- 
 tin&ion, prefented the Duke of York as a recufant 
 at the bar of the court of King's-Bench, which made 
 the Duke of York their profefled enemy. The King 
 calling the next parliament to meet at Oxford, the 
 Duke of Monmouth, the Earl of Eflex, and feveral 
 other Lords, petitioned his Majefty that the parlia- 
 ment might not fit at Oxford, where they fuggefted 
 the houfes could not aft with freedom ; but that he 
 would be pleafed to order them to fit at Weftminfter,, 
 the ufual place, where they might confult and aft 
 with fafety. This petition was figned, 
 
 Monmouth, Stamford, Paget, 
 Kent, Eflex, Gray, 
 
 Huntingdon, Shaftfbury, Herbert, 
 Bedford, Mordaunt, Howard, 
 
 Salifbury, Evers, Delarnere.
 
 90 A SHORT VIEW or THE 
 
 The King frowned on the petitioners, and gave 
 them no anfwer; and on the 2 ift of March, 1680-81, 
 the parliament met at Oxford, and a bill was brought 
 into the houfe for excluding the Duke of York from 
 the crown, and fecuring the nation againlt a popifh 
 fucceflbr, read the firft time on the z8th of March, 
 1 68 1, and ordered a fecond reading. Whereupon 
 the King came to the houfe, and made a fpeech, 
 wherein he obferved, That their beginnings were fuch, 
 that he could expeft no good fuccefs from their de- 
 bates, and therefore diffolved them; and a plot, de- 
 nominated the Ryehoufe-pior, being difcovered at 
 this time, the Earls of Shaftfbury aad Efiex, Lord 
 Ruflel, Col. Sydney, and feveral more, were taken 
 into cuftody as confpirators, and foon after the Duke 
 of Monmouth ; but the Duke was admitted to bail, 
 and the King, being fatisfied he was not concerned in 
 that part of the plot relating to theRyehoufe, granted 
 4iis Grace a pardon, who thereupon went over to 
 Holland, where he remained till the death of King 
 Charles II. which happened on Feb. 6, 1684-5. 
 
 The Duke of Monmouth being ftrongly poflefTed 
 with an opinion that his mother was married to King 
 Charles II. and that confequently he had an un- 
 doubted right to the Britifh crown, advifed with the 
 Earl of Argyle, and the reft of his friends in Hol- 
 land, on the feafeablenefs of making a defcent in 
 England, and afierting his right to that throne. They 
 were pretty unanimous as to the probability of fuc- 
 cefs, the Duke being fo exceeding popular, and the 
 nation generally jealous of the King's defign to in- 
 troduce popery ; only one party were of opinion, that 
 things were not yet ripe ; that it were better to wait 
 till the King had made fome advances towards the 
 alteration of religion, and the people's fears of popery 
 heightened. Others infifted, that they were more 
 likely to fucceed if they made the attempt before the 
 King was well fettled on his throne, and while the

 Duke's intereft was fo confiderable in England ; but 
 the Euil of Argyle being for an immediate defcent, 
 and embarking in order to make a diversion in the 
 Duke's favour in Scotland, it was carried for an im- 
 mediate defcent upon England: whereupon the Duke 
 hired a frigate of thirty-two guns, and three fmall 
 tenders, one of which was detained by the Dutch, 
 on the Englifh minifter (Skelton) applying to the 
 States to prevent thefe mips failing. However, the 
 Duke proceeded in his voyage with the frigate and 
 two tenders, and, after a tedious ftormy pafiage, ar- 
 rived at Lime in Dorfetftiire the i ith of June, 1685, 
 his whole force not amounting to two hundred men, 
 including officers ; but having brought over arms for 
 five thoufand more, and great numbers of the coun- 
 try-people joining him, his forces foon became very 
 formidable, the militia conftantly flying before him. 
 From Lime the Duke marched crofs the country to 
 Taunton-Dean in Somerfetfhire, where he caufed 
 himfelf to be proclaimed King, and fet a price upon 
 the King's head, as the King had upon the Duke's, 
 and caufed him to be attainted of high treafon in the 
 parliament, which was then fitting. Whereupon the 
 Duke, in his declaration, called the parliament a fe* 
 ditious aflembly ; and advancing afterwards toBridg- 
 water, he continued his march towards Bath and Bri- 
 ftol : but receiving advice that a body of regular 
 troops was in full march for the Weft, he thought 
 proper to retire to Bridgwater again, where he had 
 lain but a little while before the King's forces arrived 
 within three or four miles of that town, commanded 
 by the Earl of Feverfliam and Lord Churchill, after- 
 wards Marlborough, who encamped on Sedgmore ; 
 of which the Duke receiving advice, and being at the 
 fame time informed that the officers fell to drinking 
 every evening, and continued at it till morning, and 
 that their outguards were very negligent in their 
 duty,, he formed a defign to furprife the camp of the 
 
 royalifts

 horfe, abandoned the infantry, and left the field ; or 
 rather, he found his cavalry, which confirmed only of 
 country-fellows, whofe horfes would not ftand fire, 
 were foon put into confufion, when they were charged 
 by regular troops ; whereupon a total rout fucceed- 
 ing, the Duke endeavoured to make his efcape; but 
 was taken the next day, and being brought up to 
 town, was fuffered to fee the King, and beg his life ; 
 but was however executed on Tower-hill on Wednef- 
 day July 15, 1685. But furely never was the death 
 of any prince more lamented by the people, who 
 would not be perfuaded he was dead, but remained 
 in expectation of feeing him appear in arms again,, 
 for fome years.

 SHAFTESBURY. 
 
 THE Right Honourable ANTHONY ASHLEY 
 COOPER, Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Baron Afhk-y 
 of Winborne St. Giles, Baron Cooper of Pawlet, Ba- 
 ronet, lord lieutenant and cuftos rotulorum of the 
 county of Dorfet, and of the town of Poole, recorder 
 of Shaftefbury, and F. R. S. fucceeded Anthony, the 
 late Earl, his father, in February 1712-13. His Lord- 
 Ihip married, on the I2th of March, 1724-5, the 
 Lady Sufan Noel, filter to Baptift Earl of Gainlbo- 
 rough ; by which Lady, who died in June 1758, he 
 had no iflue. His Lordfliip married, fecondly, Mary 
 fecond daughter to Jacob the prefent Vifcount Folk- 
 ftone. 
 
 Anthony late Earl of Shaftesbury, father of the 
 prefent Earl, was born Feb. 26, 1670. He married, 
 in 1709, Jane, daughter of Thomas Ewer, of Bufhy- 
 hall in Hertfordlhire, Efq; by whom he had iflue, 
 Anthony, the prefent Earl, his only fon. This Lady 
 died in November 1751. 
 
 This noble Earl is defcended from Richard Cooper, 
 \vho flouriftied in the reign of King Henry VIII. and 
 purchafed the manor of Paulet, in the county of So- 
 merfet, of which the family are ftill proprietors. But 
 his anceftor, who makes the greateft figure in hiftory 
 is, fir Anthony Afliley Cooper, who was afterwards 
 created Earl of Shaftesbury, and conftituted lord high 
 chancellor of England. He is generally admired for 
 his great parts and learning. He was a ftudent of 
 Exeter-college in Oxford, from whence^he removed 
 to Gray's-inn, one of the Inns of Court, where he 
 made a confiderable proficiency in the ftudy of the 
 law. He was elefted member of parliament for 
 Tukesbury in Gloucefterftiire, in the parliament that

 then about twenty-five years of age. In the begin- 
 ning of the civil war, 'tis faid he raifed a regiment 
 for the fervice of King Charles I. being then Iheriff 
 of the county of Dorlet, and made governor of \Vey- 
 mouth in that county ; but colonel William Afh burn- 
 ham being made governor of the county of Dorfet, 
 whereby Weymouth became dependent on him, Sir 
 Anthony, imagining that his loyalty was fufpe&ed, 
 came up to London, and offered his fervice to that 
 part of the parliament which fat there, who gave him 
 a regiment of horfe, and the command of all their 
 forces in Dorfetfhire. But notwithftandinghe appear- 
 ed a hearty champion in the caufe of the parliament, 
 he feems to have oppofed CromwelFs ufurpation with 
 great fpirit; whereupon Sir Anthony, and above a 
 hundred more of the fame (lamp, being kept out of 
 the houfe of commons by force, publilhed a remon- 
 ftrance, fetting forth that the Protedlor had aflumed 
 abfolute and arbitrary power, and that every man 
 ought to affift in oppofingit. That the fmall number 
 of members he fuffered to remain in the houfe could 
 not pretend to be the reprefentatives of the people ; 
 they were not entrufted to confent to any thing in be- 
 half of the nation, if the reft were excluded from fitting 
 and debating matters in the houfe ; which had fuch an 
 influence on the next convention the Proteflor called, 
 that they began toqueftionhis authority ; whereupon 
 he diflblved them, and ever after difcountenanced and 
 oppreffed the Presbyterian and Republican party. 
 Whereupon Sir Anthony and his friends began to turn 
 their eyes upon the King, believing his reftoration 
 would prove a lefs evil than the tyrannical govern- 
 ment they were under ; and as the King's circum- 
 ftances were very low at this time, and he appeared 
 forfaken by all the princes of Europe, they did not 
 doubt but they mould get the Presbyterian fedl efta- 
 blifhed, and the prerogatives of the crown confidera- 
 bly reduced, if they encaged to afiiii him in his re-

 ftoration. After the death of Cromwell, the Rijmp 
 parliament appointed him one of their council of 
 ftate, and a commiflioner for managing the affairs of 
 their army, which did not divert him from his defign 
 of reftoring the King, 'tisfaid; and, in the year 1659, 
 he was accufed before the Rump, of keeping a cor- 
 refpondence with his Majefty, and raifing men to 
 join Sir George Booth for that end ; for which he 
 was imprifoned, with a great many other men of fi- 
 gure. He was, however, acquitted of the charge, 
 and afterwards intruded by the Rump with the com- 
 mand of of a regiment of horfe, being one of the firft 
 which declared for general Monk and a free parlia- 
 ment; and, when the convention had declared for the 
 King, he was one of the twelve members fentby that 
 lioule to the King, with fix peers, to invite his Ma- 
 jefty to return and take the government of the king- 
 dom upon him : whereupon the King, with this com- 
 mittee of parliament, embarked for England, and ar- 
 rived at Dover, May 25, 1660, and coming to Can- 
 terbury the next day, general Monk, and Sir Antho- 
 ny Afhley Cooper, was fworn of the privy council ; 
 and Sir Anthony was afterwards appointed one of the 
 commiflioners for the trial of the regicides ; and, 
 three days before the coronation, he was created Ba- 
 ron Afhley of Winbourne St. Giles's; foon after he 
 was conftituted chancellor and uacjer-treafurer of the 
 Exchequer; a/id, in May 1667, he was conftituted 
 one of the ^oipmiffioners ofthe treafury. In 1672 he 
 was created Lord Cooper of Pawlet, in the county of 
 Somerfet, and conftituted lord high- chancellor of 
 England. 
 
 One of the mofr, remarkable fpeeches he made in 
 the houfe of Peers, when he was lord chancellor, was 
 that in relation to the Dutch war, in which he fug- 
 gefts, that the Hollanders were our greateft enemies 
 in point of trade, and therefore ought to be extir- 
 pated ; Dektu/a eft Carthago were his wcrdl; He ad-

 vifed his Majefty alfo to iflue his declaration for the 
 indulgence of the Diflenters, which the parliament re- 
 folved was a difpenfing with the penal laws j and yer, 
 when the matter came to be debated in the houfe of 
 lards, none cenfured it more feverely. On the other 
 hand, it is faid, he promoted the teft for rendering 
 Papifts incapable of enjoying any office or place of 
 truft, which obliged the Duke of York to lay down 
 his poft of high-admiral, and all the other places he 
 held ; which the court refenting, the feals were taken 
 from Lord Shaftesbury, and he became as ftrenuous 
 an oppofer of the court, as ever he had been an ad- 
 vocate for its meafures. 
 
 He was, however, conftituted prefident of the 
 council in April 1679 j but continuing his oppofitioa 
 to the Duke of York, and endeavouring to get him 
 excluded from the crown, he was laid afide again in 
 March following, and became exceeding popular 
 among the Presbyterian and Republican party ; and 
 no man profecuted thofe who were charged with the 
 Popifh plot with greater violence : but his enemies 
 rendering him fufpected of being in a plot of another 
 nature, he thought fit to retire to Holland, where he 
 died Jan. 22, 1682-3. 
 
 He had married three wives; i. Margaret, daugh- 
 ter of Thomas Lord Coventry, by whom he had no 
 children. 2. The Lady Frances, daughter of David 
 Earl of Exeter, by whom he had his fon Anthony, 
 afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury. 3. He married 
 Margaret, daughter of William Lord Spencer, by 
 whom he had nr ifTue.
