Introduction.
In the two preceding volumes of this Calendar the story of the
financial troubles of Charles II. has been carried down to the
end of the year 1668. It has been thought advisable to extend
the present volume so as to include the period up to Lord
Clifford's Treasurership, thereby covering the episode of the stop
of the Exchequer. The real nature of that episode, the first
acknowledged bankruptcy in English History, was perfectly well
understood by the contemporary official and financial world of
England. Nor did contemporary writers misunderstand it.
Burnet's account, for instance, though written thirty years after
the event, is in its form unimpeachable. Misrepresentation
arose first at the hand of Whig politicians, followed therein by
Whig historians, but it has been reserved for modern writers to
improve such misrepresentation by the most absurd and unhistorical innuendos. In its grossest form the modern version
of the myth states that the bankers had been in the habit of
depositing in the Exchequer cash balances or reserves for safe
keeping and that Charles II. simply seized upon these deposits.
And even where such misstatement is avoided the inference is
invariably drawn that Charles profited instantly by the amount
of the bankers' assignments which were stopped.
The two preceding introductions will have failed of their
purpose if they have not foreshadowed at once the inevitability
of the impending national bankruptcy and the exact technical
nature or procedure of the transaction itself.
As to the first of the points, the inevitability of the act of
bankruptcy, it is a mere matter of figures. The accounts of
Charles's income have been already brought down to the end of
the year 1668. In the following tables they are carried on to
the date of the stop of the Exchequer.

Or' a yearly average for 11½ years of 1,570,089l. 8s. 9d. for both hereditary and
extraordinary revenue.
In the above brief account of total revenue I have allowed
the items of loan money to rank as revenue. For the purpose
of a balance sheet this does not matter, because (up to the stop
of the Exchequer) the loans were faithfully repaid, so that
these items appear on both sides of the account, debit and
credit. But for the purpose of the average of yearly revenue
they should certainly not be so included, for a loan is not
income. The items of loan money given in table A supra
pp. viii. and ix. total over a million and a half for the
3¼ years covered by the account, representing an average
loan account of half a million a year. For the whole 11½ years
from the Restoration to the Stop of the Exchequer these loans
total over 2½ millions, and would thus reduce the average
income by 230,000l. a year and would thus bring down Charles's
total revenue to about 1,340,000l. per an. In other words all
the additional extraordinary parliamentary grants of every kind
(the bulk of which was granted for war purposes) only just
succeeded in covering up the deficit on the ordinary revenue,
which should have been 1,200,000l. per an. without war taxes
or extraordinary aids of any kind.
Total Expenditure of England from the Restoration to the Stop of the Exchequer.
For the reasons stated in the introduction to Vol. II of this
Calendar pp. xiii seq. it is impossible to give the authentic
figures. But a deduction can be made on the following
principle:—
During the four years 1661–5 the total expenditure (including
no war expenditure whatever or any other extraordinary
expenditure) was 5,245,306l. 7s. 7d., representing a yearly
average of 1,311,326l. 11s. 10d. as the average yearly peace
expenditure of the country.
Prior to the Stop of the Exchequer no drastic economies were
made in the ordinary peace establishments.
Taking this average, therefore, the total expenditure was
probably:—

Without insisting upon every figure of this statement I take
it as a perfectly just and sound deduction that at the time of the
stop of the Exchequer the National Debt amounted to between
2 and 2¼ millions sterling. This debt consisted partly in running debts on the various departmental services and partly in
loan or other liabilities, the nature of which will be described
immediately.
To return to the period covered by the present instalment of
Calendar. The actual expenditure for the whole period cannot
be given for the reasons already stated. Only three half-yearly
declarations of issues have survived and these are not cast up.
I have, however, cast up the items and totalled them as follows,
and as the best substitute for an exact statement of expenditure
for the missing Exchequer half years I have appended to this
table of three half-yearly declarations the chief statements of
departmental expenditure from the Declared Accounts. In their
totality they are absolutely reliable and final, and will be found
to confirm the general estimate of expenditure and debt given
above.
