Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret History of the Rye-House Plot: And of Monmouth's Rebellion The curious and interesting Narrative, contained in the following sheets, has hitherto escaped the notice of all our writers. The public, therefore, will think itself obliged to those, who have, now for the first time, brought so valuable a memoir to light; as it explains, at full length, all the most secret particulars of what is commonly called the Rye-House Plot; and of the preparatory steps abroad to Monmouth's Rebellion, which happened a few years after. This account of both those most remarkable transactions was written by the famous Ford Lord Grey, who had been a principal actor in both, and while he was still a prisoner in the Tower for the part he acted in the latter.
