came in between Aug. 1645 and the end of 1646 (Vol.  III. 401-402); but there were stray Recruiters through 1647 and 1648; nay, about eight persons were added by the Rump to itself by new writs issued after the institution of the Commonwealth. R added to a name signifies a member of the Barebones Parliament of 1653; O^1 a member of Oliver’s First Parliament of Sept. 1654-Jan. 1654-5; O^2 a member of Oliver’s Second Parliament of Sept. 1656-Feb. 1657-8.  The addition [t] in the last case denotes that the person was one of the Anti-Oliverians secluded at the beginning of the first Session, but restored at the beginning of the second. R denotes a member of the Commons in Richard’s late Parliament, just dissolved; and L denotes that the person had been one of Oliver’s and Richard’s Lords.  Other marks might have indicated the distinction of having belonged to one, or more, or all of the Councils of State of the Commonwealth, or to the Council of the Protectorate; but in most cases there will be sufficient recollection of this distinction by the reader, and references to the lists of the Councils already given will be easy where particulars are wanted.  Aristocratic courtesy-designations of Oliverian origin are now stripped off, so as to present the names in the form thought correct by the restored Republic.
