Of Cornet Joseph Clarke of the Ironsides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt may be, my dear grandchildren, that at one time or another I\u003cbr\u003ehave told you nearly all the incidents which have occurred during my\u003cbr\u003eadventurous life. To your father and to your mother, at least, I know\u003cbr\u003ethat none of them are unfamiliar. Yet when I consider that time wears\u003cbr\u003eon, and that a grey head is apt to contain a failing memory, I am\u003cbr\u003eprompted to use these long winter evenings in putting it all before\u003cbr\u003eyou from the beginning, that you may have it as one clear story in your\u003cbr\u003eminds, and pass it on as such to those who come after you. For now that\u003cbr\u003ethe house of Brunswick is firmly established upon the throne and that\u003cbr\u003epeace prevails in the land, it will become less easy for you every\u003cbr\u003eyear to understand how men felt when Englishmen were in arms against\u003cbr\u003eEnglishmen, and when he who should have been the shield and the\u003cbr\u003eprotector of his subjects had no thought but to force upon them what\u003cbr\u003ethey most abhorred and detested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy story is one which you may well treasure up in your memories, and\u003cbr\u003etell again to others, for it is not likely that in this whole county of\u003cbr\u003eHampshire, or even perhaps in all England, there is another left alive\u003cbr\u003ewho is so well able to speak from his own knowledge of these events,\u003cbr\u003eor who has played a more forward part in them. All that I know I shall\u003cbr\u003eendeavour soberly and in due order to put before you. I shall try to\u003cbr\u003emake these dead men quicken into life for your behoof, and to call back\u003cbr\u003eout of the mists of the past those scenes which were brisk enough in\u003cbr\u003ethe acting, though they read so dully and so heavily in the pages of the\u003cbr\u003eworthy men who have set themselves to record them. Perchance my words,\u003cbr\u003etoo, might, in the ears of strangers, seem to be but an old man's\u003cbr\u003egossip. To you, however, who know that these eyes which are looking at\u003cbr\u003eyou looked also at the things which I describe, and that this hand has\u003cbr\u003estruck in for a good cause, it will, I know, be different. Bear in mind\u003cbr\u003eas you listen that it was your quarrel as well as our own in which\u003cbr\u003ewe fought, and that if now you grow up to be free men in a free land,\u003cbr\u003eprivileged to think or to pray as your consciences shall direct, you may\u003cbr\u003ethank God that you are reaping the harvest which your fathers sowed in\u003cbr\u003eblood and suffering when the Stuarts were on the throne.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068711321840,"sku":"2940013086449","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013086449_p0.jpg?v=1763576834","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013086449","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
