Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from A Jacobean Letter-Writer: The Life and Times of John Chamberlain In this environment, then, John Chamberlain dwelt, and penned his very numerous letters, little imagining that they would be ultimately lodged in the State Paper Office, thence transferred with due care to the present Record Office, and calendered in the familiar volumes which fill a portion of the great circle of presses in the Reading Room of the British Museum. It is not clear how these private letters came to be thus lodged among the State Papers. Mr. John Bruce, in his preface to the Calendar of State Papers, 1625 - 1626, remarks By what means many of these papers were originally brought into the State Paper Office it is not easy to discover. Some of them evidently found their way thither by the accidents to which in disturbed periods the papers of public men are subject. This does not go far towards the elucidation of the problem. Sir Dudley Carleton (or rather Viscount Dorchester, as he was then) died in 1632, which may perhaps be justly described as a disturbed period Charles I. Had three years previously dissolved parliament, and announced his intention of ruling without it, and his methods were not conducive to national confidence and tranquility.
