Four days later, after a sad farewell to his younger children1 in St. James's Palace, he walked across St. James's Park through the snow to Whitehall and there, outside the palace, he was beheaded. Whatever may have been his faults in life, he bore himself like a real king in his last moments.
Cromwell now became ruler of England, not as king but as "Protector of the Commonwealth", and for ten years he ruled England firmly but well. He could be merciless-his treatment of Ireland is one of the blots on his character-yet he loved mercy, and in an age that was bitter with religious intolerance he was nobly tolerant.
It was he who really unted England, Scotland and Ireland, who enforced justice and order at home and made England stronger and more respected abroad than she had ever been before in the whole of her history, and if he at times acted like a tyrant, he did it because in this, as in the execution of Charles, he saw that this was the only means of bringing order and peace in England.
His rough, harsh nature, like his stern, harsh face, did not inspire affection-though under the rough outward appearance there was kindness-but his strength, his unshakable honesty and his sincere religion made him respected as one of the greatest Englishmen.

Great Britons (3): John Milton
MR. PRIESTLEY: I spoke to you a day or two ago about the Cavaliers and the Puritans in England in the seventeenth century. I said, you may remember, that the Puritans despised learning and art. But that is not true of one of them at least, the greatest of the Puritans and one of the greatest Englishmen, John Milton. He is in many ways characteristic of the age in which he lived, but he is not limited by it. Like Shakespeare, he belongs not to an age but to all time.
