Abstract
- De witt sayth that the King is little to be considered for he is not yett setled and … he hath no mony. make no doubt, but that his Majesty will … in a short time be considered in Europe as he ought to be … God be thanked England is England, and his Ma[jes]ty hath a Parliament who will not suffer him to want what is fitting for his honour and the defence of his subjects. RESTORATION AND STATEBUILDING Restoration was not an experience peculiar to seventeenth-century England. Such a process, not only of reconstruction but of memory and mourning, is necessary wherever a profound upheaval has occurred. Restoration of monarchy in England in 1660 was part of a much more complicated and long-lasting process. This had many contemporary parallels in central Europe in the aftermath of the Thirty Years War. Peter Dickson was accordingly right to contextualise his study of The Financial Revolution in England within a general period of European ‘administrative and economic reconstruction’ following the ‘war clouds of the terrible middle decades of the seventeenth century’. As in England, continental reconstruction had a pre-history, stretching back to the period before 1648. While institutional in focus, this attempt by shattered contemporaneous societies to reconstruct the basis of their order, their peace and their moorings in time was far from simply an institutional matter.
