Did Oliver Cromwell write "The New Star of the North?"

By J. M. (Oxford)

Perhaps some of your numerous correspondents, who have perused a curious letter of Count de Tessins, in Clements' *Bibliothèque Curieuse*, tome ix. page 331., can inform me what credit, or if any, is due to the Count's conjecture, that Oliver Cromwell was the author of the book entitled *The New Star of the North, shining upon the victorious King of Sweden*, &c. 4to. London, 1632.
