⁴ An exception to this stricture is the work that has been done on the land settlement at the Restoration. See particularly Holiday, P. G., ‘Land sales and repurchases in Yorkshire after the Civil Wars, 1650–1670’, Northern History, v (1970)Google Scholar and B. G. Blackwood's study of Lancashire to be published shortly by the Chetham Society.
