Excerpt from A Life of the Great Lord Fairfax, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Parliament of England A Life of Fairfax has not previously been written, for the brief notices in the 'Biographia Britannica' and in Coleridge's 'Northern Worthies' only profess to be summaries, and were published before the Fairfax Correspondence and other indispensable materials were accessible. The present endeavour to supply this deficiency in some measure is made, not with any hope of doing adequate justice to the subject as a biography, but with a view to furnishing & connected narrative of those important events in the great general's life which have hitherto been either passed over or, as the present writer conceives, misunderstood and misrepresented. In the first class is the opening Yorkshire campaign, which led directly to the decisive action on Marston Moor. There are materials for a history of it in Fairfax's own 'Short Memorial, ' in the Memoirs of Warwick, Slingsby, Hodgson, Lister, and the Duchess of Newcastle, in Rush worth, and in the pamphlets and newspapers of the time. But no detailed account has been written of the actions, marches, and sieges in Yorkshire which had a direct and important bearing on the result of the Civil War, while they were the school which formed one of our ablest generals.
