Excerpt from Moneys Received and Paid for Secret Services of Charles II. And James II: From 30th March, 1679, to 25th December, 1688 The payments are scarcely of the kind which would be expected from the title of secret services. They are principally divisible into two great classes: 1. Extra ordinary expenses incident to the management of the King's private estate, and the repairs and improvements of the royal residences; and 2. Payments and allowances to private persons, for services rendered to the crown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
