The Restored Rump, which had met on the 7th of May, 1659, only forty-two strong, had very sensibly increased its numbers by the 25th, the day of Richard's abdication.

In obedience to a summons sent out to Rumpers in the country, between forty and fifty more had by that time come in, raising the number in attendance to nearly ninety.
In subsequent months still others and others dropped in, till the House could reckon about 122 altogether as belonging to it.

The following is the most complete list I have been able to draw out for the whole of our present term of the existence of the Restored House.
Marks are added to each name, to signify the political course or resting-place of its owner from his first connexion with the Long Parliament to his present reappearance:-- The asterisk prefixed to a name denotes a _Regicide_, i.e.an actual signer of the Death-Warrant of Charles I.( Vol.III.

720).
The contraction _Rec._ prefixed signifies that the person was not an original member of the Long Parliament when it met in Nov.
1640, but one of the _Recruiters_ who came in at various times afterwards to supply vacancies.
