  Samuel Hartlib - LoveToKnow 1911
During the civil war Hartlib occupied himself with the peaceful study of agriculture, publishing various works by himself, and printing at his own expense several treatises by others on the subject.
He planned a school for the sons of gentlemen, to be conducted on new principles, and this probably was the occasion of his friend Milton's Tract ate on Education, addressed to him in 1644, and of Sir William Petty's Two Letters on the same subject, in 1647 and 1648.
At the Restoration Hartlib lost his pension, which had already fallen into arrears; he petitioned parliament for a new grant of it, but what success he met with is unknown, as his latter years and death are wrapped in obscurity.

 Samuel Hartlib:  Introduction
Although Hartlib and Dury were on good terms with moderate Calvinist episcopalians within the Church of England, the meeting of the Long Parliament in London from 1641 and the establishment of the Presbyterian Westminster Assembly (see catalogue no. 71) seemed to provide them with wider opportunities to win official support for many of their schemes.
At the same time, Hartlib and his friends searched for means to prolong and improve human life, in particular through alchemical discovery and the practice of chemical medicine, and strived to achieve dominion over nature through the application of new knowledge and new methods of understanding.
Hartlib in particular seems to have found himself isolated by the political and ecclesiastical settlements at the Restoration.

Hartlib’s collection of funds for the Czech educationalist, Jan Amos Komensky (Comenius), whose visit to London in 1641—2 he also organized, was a significant, but not unique, element in his charitable endeavours during these years.

Samuel Hartlib was not a literary figure in his own right, but he played a key role in the dissemination of educational, scientific, religious, agricultural and political writing throughout Europe and North America in the seventeenth century.
Hartlib’s most cherished project was the establishment of a State-funded “Office of Address” which would collect information from thinkers and practitioners in every field and put them in touch with one another as appropriate, for their own and the common good.
Hartlib was, however, awarded an annual stipend of £100 in 1649, just after the civil war - in part, perhaps, because his extensive contacts in the rest of Europe made him a valuable source of political information as well as a worthy cause.
