RETALIATION AND STOPPAGE OF THE PARLIAMENT.

The Restored Rump, which had met on the 7th of May, 1659, only
forty-two strong, had very sensibly increased its numbers by the
25th, the day of Richard's abdication. In obedience to a summons sent
out to Rumpers in the country, between forty and fifty more had by
that time come in, raising the number in attendance to nearly ninety.
In subsequent months still others and others dropped in, till the
House could reckon about 122 altogether as belonging to it. The
following is the most complete list I have been able to draw out for
the whole of our present term of the existence of the Restored House.
Marks are added to each name, to signify the political course or
resting-place of its owner from his first connexion with the Long
Parliament to his present reappearance:--

The asterisk prefixed to a name denotes a _Regicide_, i.e. an
actual signer of the Death-Warrant of Charles I. (Vol. III. 720).
The contraction _Rec._ prefixed signifies that the person was
not an original member of the Long Parliament when it met in Nov.
1640, but one of the _Recruiters_ who came in at various times
afterwards to supply vacancies. Most of these came in between Aug.
1645 and the end of 1646 (Vol. III. 401-402); but there were stray
Recruiters through 1647 and 1648; nay, about _eight_ persons
were added by the Rump to itself by new writs issued after the
institution of the Commonwealth. _R_ added to a name signifies
a member of the Barebones Parliament of 1653; _O^1_ a member of
Oliver's First Parliament of Sept. 1654-Jan. 1654-5; _O^2_ a
member of Oliver's Second Parliament of Sept. 1656-Feb. 1657-8. The
addition [t] in the last case denotes that the person was one of
the Anti-Oliverians secluded at the beginning of the first Session,
but restored at the beginning of the second. _R_ denotes a
member of the Commons in Richard's late Parliament, just dissolved;
and _L_ denotes that the person had been one of Oliver's and
Richard's Lords. Other marks might have indicated the distinction
