Prefatory Note

The following table of payments is transcribed from a thin folio volume among the Leeds MSS. It is lettered on the back "1677, orders for rewards." This volume is a secret service book so far as, and in the sense that, it contains items of payment which were not made through the Exchequer in the ordinary way and which consequently were not entered in the ordinary Treasury entry books. But it would be absurd to look upon it as Charles Bertie's secret service book pure and simple. No person, official or unofficial, who was employed as a payee or channel for the true secret service would have dared to keep an account of his proceedings. Charles's true, real and most intimate secret service expenditure (that which he disbursed by his ambassadors abroad and that which he disbursed among the members of Parliament at home) will never be known. But outside this there was (and there will always be found in the English Treasury history) a separate class of payments in which for a variety of motives many of the restrictions of Exchequer forms are brushed aside. Payments had now and then to be made quickly, or quietly, or gratis (i.e. without being subject to Exchequer fees), and so on, payments of small amounts, or of a half-shady nature, which it was not worth while or not desirable to enter in the ordinary Treasury books or to subject to the ordinary Exchequer routine of issue and accompting. For one class at least of such payments a provision in bulk was made. As a rule a dormant privy seal was passed for 10,000l. and on that dormant privy seal the king himself by his sign manual or the Lord Treasurer himself by his warrant could direct the issue of any particular sum until the total of 10,000l. was reached. When that total was reached and the privy seal exhausted a fresh one was passed and so on. The payments which were made out of these dormant privy seals were as a rule small payments of royal bounty in various forms, or payments for special services or for special purposes in which despatch was essential, payments intended to meet the charges upon the passing of accompts in the Exchequer or to meet the Exchequer fees on Exchequer issues or to meet the charges in the Privy Seal Office on the issue of a privy seal, and so on, and so on. The volume of so-called "Secret Service expenditure of Charles II. and James II.," published by the Camden Society (Vol. VII.), is of this nature. If instead of styling such accounts as secret service accounts historians would look upon them as petty cash accounts they would have a prospect of understanding their true meaning. The true secret service money account never can be hoped for. What accounts we actually have surviving here and there are, from the historian's point of view, different in nature and less in importance. With the introduction of the Civil List after the Revolution of 1688 the whole of these petty cash,—bounty cash,—immediate service cash,—payments grouped themselves round the item termed King's money, which was not looked upon either by Parliament or by the Executive as secret service money at all (see pp. v-xx of the Introduction to the Calendar of Treasury Books and Papers, Vol. II., 1735-8). Necessarily in the days of Charles II. the system was not so clear-cut and precise in form : it had not yet crystallized. There are in the following tables payments of a secret service nature mixed up with merely petty cash payments, and it is quite in keeping with this that pages of payments have been cut out of the volume [presumably by Danby's, or Bertie's, own hand]—viz., 2 leaves between pp. 6 and 7, 5 leaves between pp. 16 and 17, 1 leaf between pp. 40 and 41, 1 leaf between pp. 50 and 51—but none the less it remains true, speaking broadly, that the true secret service accounts of Charles II.'s reign are not contained in this record or in any other record, and that in the main what are here contained are "King's money" items.
