This milestone edition of Roger Morrice's so-called Entring book (a vast manuscript of nearly a million words currently held in Dr William's Library, London) opens up a major source for the religious politics of the late Restoration. The Cambridge-educated Morrice, ejected from his parish in 1662, became (like many other dissenting ministers), chaplain to a series of significant Whig politicians: this gave him the opportunity to gather ‘intelligence’ from a network of clergymen, aristocrats and politicians. The Entring book thus (some parts needed decryption by Frances Henderson) delivers an intimate and insightful account of this oppositional political and religious milieu – Morrice's writing is haunted by the ever-present danger of popery and arbitrary power. In this edition it will be, without doubt, required reading for any serious historian of the period. Compiled between 1677 and 1691 it covers a critical (and now increasingly popular) period in English history: accounts and rumours of plots, records of private opinions amongst those hostile to the absolutist tendencies of the Stuart monarchy and news of public anxieties abound – where Pepy's diaries delivered much about the intimate, domestic and sexual life of the Restoration man about town, Morrice exposes the workings of politics in a time of persistent crisis and incipient revolution. The volumes are the result of the AHRC-funded Morrice Project co-ordinated by Mark Goldie, but bringing together the expertise of a number of leading historians of politics and religion (vol. ii, John Spurr; vol. iii, Tim Harris; vol. iv, Stephen Taylor; vol. v, Mark Knights). The edition is meticulous – each volume is completed with contextual introduction, a detailed editorial apparatus including explanatory notes. More significantly, volume i combines a powerful and important monograph by Mark Goldie with a remarkable series of maps (of London, the site of many of the events), genealogical tables (tracing various Puritan Whig networks) and a collection of sixty appendices reproducing a range of primary materials (for example, Morrice's will, lists of coffee houses, newspapers, officeholders, theatres, music, deaths lamented). This volume in itself provides a necessary key to understanding and exploring the Entring book itself – it merits separate publication to ensure as wide a readership as possible. As for volume vi, prepared by Jason McElligott and Mark Goldie, while the biographical entries are extremely helpful, the glossary (pp. 231–322) combines definitions of technical terms (for example, a range of legal terms such as ‘ab introitu ecclesiae’ or ‘writ of error’) with explanations of seventeenth-century usage (ambuscade, formes, picaroon) and a valuable canon of historiographically-contested terms (fanatic, hierarchist, lecturer, party, trimmer) to produce an exceptionally useful teaching instrument. Most important, in this age of digital scholarship the edition also includes a CD-ROM of the entire text of the Entring book which in the current absence of an index to the volumes allows the reader to search for subjects and names as they desire.
