	Charles Harding Firth
		Charles Harding Firth (March 16, 1857 - February 19, 1936), British historian, was born at Sheffield, and was educated at Clifton College and at Balliol College, Oxford.
		At his university he took the Stanhope prize for an essay on the marquess Wellesley[?] in 1877, became lecturer at Pembroke College in 1887, and fellow of All Souls College in 1901.
		Firth's historical work was almost entirely confined to English history during the time of the Great Civil War and the Commonwealth; and although he is somewhat overshadowed by SR Gardiner, a worker in the same field, his books are of great value to students of this period.

		Firth (in the Dictionary of National Biography), "that he was from the first regarded as an officer of exceptional capacity and specially selected for semi-political employments".
		Charles II King of England, Scotland and Ireland Charles II (29 May 1630–6 February 1685) was the King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 30 January 1649 (de jure) or 29 May 1660 (de facto) until his death.

	War
		Charles I did make substantial concessions in 1641, though the hope that he would do the same when war approached in 1642 – and in the peace negotiations held during and after the First Civil War – proved illusory.
		It's hard to know how much of the hostility to the republic was caused by the execution of the king, just as it's hard to know how to interpret the great groan that went up among the crowd when his head was cut off.
		It was the same crisis that led Charles to recall Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford from Ireland, and without Strafford's removal and death, one can't imagine the Irish rebellion of 1641, or at least not in such a form.

		Charles, on 21 July 1659, gave Grenville full powers to treat with Monck, and undertook to make good any engagements he might make to Monck or his officers.

		It was completed in two volumes by Charles Harding FirthCH Firth/ as ''The Last Years of the Protectorate'' (1909).
		His record of the relations between England and other states proves his thorough knowledge of contemporary European history, and is rendered specially valuable by his researches among manuscript sources which have enabled him to expound for the first time some intricate pieces of diplomacy.
		The minuteness of his narrative detracts from its interest; though his arrangement is generally good, here and there the reader finds the thread of a subject broken by the intrusion of incidents not immediately connected with it, and does not pick it up again without an effort.
