- Summary
- "Desiring to deepen his understanding of the present world by turning to the past, between 1644 and 1652 the Cambridge student William Bright filled a small book with notes and commonplaces gleaned from political, historical, and religious writings.

Gent', listing five 'chiefe Causes of the mutations of Monarchies': 'Wants of Issue', 'Ambition', 'Lust', 'Effeminacy', and 'Taxes'. The original pamphlet, entitled Severall politique and militarie observations (1648), had listed six causes of the mutations of monarchy, with the first being the 'crying sinnes of a Nation'.
