He was the author of a number of theological and political works, of which a list will be found in Upham's Life of Vane, (see UPHAM, CHARLES WENTWORTH,) 401-3. Among these are: 1. The Retired Man's Meditations; or, The Mysterie and Power of Godliness shining forth in the Living World, &c., Lon., 1655, 4to. "An obscure book on the mystery of Godliness, of which all that we understand is excellent, and we may, therefore, infer that the vein of the rest is good."-GEORGE BANCROFT: N. Amer.

When he died,-it is the eulogium of an eminent living historian,-"one of the greatest and purest of men | "This man, so celebrated for his parliamentary talents and for his capacity in business, has left some writings behind him: they treat, all of them, of religious subjects, and are absolutely unintelligible. No traces of eloquence, or even of common sense, appear in them."-HUME: Hist, of Eng., ch. lxiii. See, also, chaps. lvi. and Ixii. "The royalists have spoken of Vane with extreme dislike; yet it should be remembered that he was not only incorrupt, but disinterested, inflexible în conforming his public conduct to his principles, and averse to every sanguinary or oppressive measure: qualities not very common in revolutionary chiefs, and which honourably distinguished him from the Lamberts and Haslerigs of his party."-HALLAM: Lit. Hist. of Europe, 4th ed., 1854, ii, 326. "Sir Henry Vane was one of the most profound minds that ever existed, not inferior, perhaps, to Bacon. Milton has a fine sonnet addressed to him, Vane, young in years, in sage experience old.' His works, which are theological, are extremely rare, and display astonishing powers. They are remarkable as containing the first direct assertion of the liberty of conscience. He was put to death in a most perfidious manner."-SIR J. MACKINTOSH: Conversations with A. H. Everett: N.
