Oliver Cromwoll was bora {n tho country town of Hunt- ingdon iu tho month of April, 1599, 1lis mathor's maiden namo was Elizaboth Stuart, but shio waa no rolatlon to tho royal family of Stuarts, Tho name of Cromswell has beon unjuatly surrounded by o cloud of obloquy, originatiugin the writora of tho timo of Chnrles IL. - Ilo was, as o boy, stumpy, with brond shouldars, hoavy hiead, prom- inent nose, oyes prorcing.

In his 1Tth yoar lio was sent to Cambridge by his father, oogb unmilling to go. \Whilo thoro it is charged that he was indolout, if not smflhfllo. but this statemont 18 not substanuatoed. o ro- mained at the Univeraity only fourtosn months, when hio was recallod by tho doath of bis fathier, Cromwell was mnot liko tho light-hoadod, fan- tastical, and danditied young mon of the presont day, who look down ‘on agricultural pursuits. 1o tended to buying nud eolhing wheat aud hogs in the market of Ifuntingdon, Iu s 20tk yoor he took his placo in the old stage-wagon for London, In his rude conntry dresa and plaln maunors bo formod at thia time & straugo cous teagt Lo theinfaimous moo audstill more infamous women who gambled with virtuo o the palaco of Whitoball.
