Perfect Occurrences of Parliament and Chief Collections of Letters from the Armie was a prominent weekly English Civil War-era newsbook edited by Henry Walker and John Saltmarsh. It provided updates on Parliament, the Army's proceedings, and military victories, serving as a key source of news for supporters of the parliamentary cause. It ran weekly from 1644 to roughly 1648, with various titles including Perfect occurrences of both Houses of Parliament, and martial affairs.

Perfect Occurrences was primarily written by Henry Walker, an "ironmonger" turned preacher and published by Jane Coe, with printing done "according to order" in London.  It focused on parliamentary proceedings and reports from the Army during the English Civil War as well as foreign intelligence associated with events in France, Denmark, and Sweden. 

This booklet contains 8 pages of historical events occurring during the Great Rebellion from Friday February 21 to Friday February 28, 1645 (the 9th week), including:

• “The King’s Letter going to Ireland, for a great Army to come speedily to him, else he must be forced to yield to those he cals       Rebels, in England.”

• “Taking of Shrewsbury” with a list of prisoners

Perfect Occurrences is a valuable source for understanding and learning about the Great Rebellion and the political and military climate of the 1640s, frequently documenting messages from Lord General Cromwell. It was part of the Early English Books Online 2 collection and the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Burney Newspapers Collection at the British Library.
