Burnet, ii. 104, 105. Burnet has used an incorrect expression,
which Tindal, Ralph and others have copied. He says that the
question was whether the Lords should tax themselves. The Lords
did not claim any right to alter the amount of taxation laid on
them by the bill as it came up to them. They only demanded that
their estates should be valued, not by the ordinary
commissioners, but by special commissioners of higher rank.

FN 367 Commons' Journals, Dec. 2/12. 1692,

FN 368 For this account of the origin of stockjobbing in the City
of London I am chiefly indebted to a most curious periodical
paper, entitled, "Collection for the Improvement of Husbandry and
Trade, by J. Houghton, F.R.S." It is in fact a weekly history of
the commercial speculations of that time. I have looked through
the files of several years. In No. 33., March 17. 1693, Houghton
says: "The buying and selling of Actions is one of the great
trades now on foot. I find a great many do not understand the
affair." On June 13. and June 22. 1694, he traces the whole
progress of stockjobbing. On July 13. of the same year he makes
the first mention of time bargains. Whoever is desirous to know
more about the companies mentioned in the text may consult
Houghton's Collection and a pamphlet entitled Anglia Tutamen,
published in 1695.

FN 379 Dunton's Life and Errors; Autobiography of Edmund Bohun,
privately printed in 1853. This autobiography is, in the highest
degree, curious and interesting.

FN 380 Vox Cleri, 1689.

FN 381 Bohun was the author of the History of the Desertion,
published immediately after the Revolution. In that work he
propounded his favourite theory. "For my part," he says, "I am
amazed to see men scruple the submitting to the present King;
for, if ever man had a just cause of war, he had; and that
creates a right to the thing gained by it. The King by
withdrawing and disbanding his army yielded him the throne; and
if he had, without any more ceremony, ascended it, he had done no
more than all other princes do on the like occasions."

FN 382 Character of Edmund Bohun, 1692.

FN 383 Dryden, in his Life of Lucian, speaks in too high terms of
Blount's abilities. But Dryden's judgment was biassed; for
Blount's first work was a pamphlet in defence of the Conquest of
Granada.

FN 384 See his Appeal from the Country to the City for the
Preservation of His Majesty's Person, Liberty, Property, and the
Protestant Religion.

FN 385 See the article on Apollonius in Bayle's Dictionary. I say
that Blount made his translation from the Latin; for his works
contain abundant proofs that he was not competent to translate
from the Greek.

FN 386 See Gildon's edition of Blount's Works, 1695.

FN 387 Wood's Athenae Oxonienses under the name Henry Blount
(Charles Blount's father); Lestrange's Observator, No. 290.

FN 388 This piece was reprinted by Gildon in 1695 among Blount's
Works.

FN 389 That the plagiarism of Blount should have been detected by
few of his contemporaries is not wonderful. But it is wonderful
that in the Biographia Britannica his just Vindication should be
warmly extolled, without the slightest hint that every thing good
in it is stolen. The Areopagitica is not the only work which he
pillaged on this occasion. He took a noble passage from Bacon
without acknowledgment.

FN 390 I unhesitatingly attribute this pamphlet to Blount, though
it was not reprinted among his works by Gildon. If Blount did not
actually write it he must certainly have superintended the
writing. That two men of letters, acting without concert, should
bring out within a very short time two treatises, one made out of
one half of the Areopagitica and the other made out of the other
half, is incredible. Why Gildon did not choose to reprint the
second pamphlet will appear hereafter.

FN 397 The vote of the Commons is mentioned, with much feeling in
the memoirs which Burnet wrote at the time. "It look'd," he says,
"somewhat extraordinary that I, who perhaps was the greatest
assertor of publick liberty, from my first setting out, of any
writer of the age, should be so severely treated as an enemy to
it. But the truth was the Toryes never liked me, and the Whiggs
hated me because I went not into their notions and passions. But
even this, and worse things that may happen to me shall not, I
hope, be able to make me depart from moderate principles and the
just asserting the liberty of mankind."--Burnet MS. Harl. 6584.

FN 399 Lords' Journals, March 8. 1692/3.

FN 400 In the article on Blount in the Biographia Britannica he
is extolled as having borne a principal share in the emancipation
of the press. But the writer was very imperfectly informed as to
the facts.

It is strange that the circumstances of Blount's death should be
so uncertain. That he died of a wound inflicted by his own hand,
and that he languished long, are undisputed facts. The common
story was that he shot himself; and Narcissus Luttrell at the
time, made an entry to this effect in his Diary. On the other
hand, Pope, who had the very best opportunities of obtaining
accurate information, asserts that Blount, "being in love with a
near kinswoman of his, and rejected, gave himself a stab in the
arm, as pretending to kill himself, of the consequence of which
he really died."--Note on the Epilogue to the Satires, Dialogue
I. Warburton, who had lived first with the heroes of the Dunciad,
and then with the most eminent men of letters of his time ought
to have known the truth; and Warburton, by his silence, confirms
Pope's assertion. Gildon's rhapsody about the death of his friend
will suit either story equally.

FN 401 The charges brought against Coningsby will be found in the
journals of the two Houses of the English Parliament. Those
charges were, after the lapse of a quarter of a century,
versified by Prior, whom Coningsby had treated with great
insolence and harshness. I will quote a few stanzas.

It will be seen that the poet condescended to imitate the style
of the street ballads.

"Of Nero tyrant, petty king,
Who heretofore did reign
In famed Hibernia, I will sing,
And in a ditty plain.

"The articles recorded stand
Against this peerless peer;
Search but the archives of the land,
You'll find them written there."

The story of Gaffney is then related. Coningsby's speculations
are described thus:

"Vast quantities of stores did he
Embezzle and purloin
Of the King's stores he kept a key,
Converting them to coin.

"The forfeited estates also,
Both real and personal,
Did with the stores together go.
Fierce Cerberas swallow'd all."

The last charge is the favour shown the Roman Catholics:

"Nero, without the least disguise,
The Papists at all times
Still favour'd, and their robberies
Look'd on as trivial crimes.

"The Protestants whom they did rob
During his government,
Were forced with patience, like good Job,
To rest themselves content.

"For he did basely them refuse
All legal remedy;
The Romans still he well did use,
Still screen'd their roguery."

FN 402 An Account of the Sessions of Parliament in Ireland, 1692,
London, 1693.

FN 403 The Poynings Act is 10 H. 7. c. 4. It was explained by
another Act, 3&4P.and M.c.4.

FN 404 The history of this session I have taken from the journals
of the Irish Lords and Commons, from the narratives laid in
writing before the English Lords and Commons by members of the
Parliament of Ireland and from a pamphlet entitled a Short
Account of the Sessions of Parliament in Ireland, 1692, London,
1693. Burnet seems to me to have taken a correct view of the
dispute, ii. 118. "The English in Ireland thought the government
favoured the Irish too much; some said this was the effect of
bribery, whereas others thought it was necessary to keep them
safe from the prosecutions of the English, who hated them, and
were much sharpened against them . . . . There were also great
complaints of an ill administration, chiefly in the revenue, in
the pay of the army, and in the embezzling of stores."

FN 415 Burnett, ii, 123.; Carstairs Papers.

FN 416 Register of the Actings or Proceedings of the General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland held at Edinburgh, Jan. 15.
1692, collected and extracted from the Records by the Clerk
thereof. This interesting record was printed for the first time
in 1852.

FN 417 Act. Parl. Scot., June 12. 1693.

FN 418 Ibid. June 15. 1693.

FN 419 The editor of the Carstairs Papers was evidently very
desirous, from whatever motive, to disguise this most certain and
obvious truth. He has therefore prefixed to some of Johnstone's
letters descriptions which may possibly impose on careless
readers. For example Johnstone wrote to Carstairs on the 18th of
April, before it was known that the session would be a quiet one,
"All arts have been used and will be used to embroil matters."
The editor's account of the contents of this letter is as follows

"Arts used to embroil matters with reference to the affair of
Glencoe." Again, Johnstone, in a letter written some weeks later,
complained that the liberality and obsequiousness of the Estates
had not been duly appreciated." Nothing, he says, "is to be done
to gratify the Parliament, I mean that they would have reckoned a
gratification." The editor's account of the contents of this
letter is as follows: "Complains that the Parliament is not to be
gratified by an inquiry into the massacre of Glencoe."

1695, 1696; Ratio Ultima, 1697. In the Nairne Papers is a letter
in which the nonjuring bishops are ordered to send a Protestant
divine to Saint Germains. This letter was speedily followed by
another letter revoking the order. Both letters will he found in
Macpherson's collection. They both bear date Oct. 16. 1693. I
suppose that the first letter was dated according to the New
Style and the letter of revocation according to the Old Style.

FN 423 Ratio Ultima, 1697; History of the late Parliament, 1699.

FN 424 View of the Court of Saint Germains from 1690 to 1695.
That Dunfermline was grossly ill used is plain even from the
Memoirs of Dundee, 1714.

FN 425 So early as the year 1690, that conclave of the leading
Jacobites which gave Preston his instructions made a strong
representation to James on this subject. "He must overrule the
bigotry of Saint Germains; and dispose their minds to think of
those methods that are more likely to gain the nation. For there
is one silly thing or another daily done there, that comes to our
notice here which prolongs what they so passionately desire." See
also A Short and True Relation of Intrigues transacted both at
Home and Abroad to restore the late King James, 1694.

FN 426 View of the Court of Saint Germains. The account given in
this View is confirmed by a remarkable paper, which is among the
Nairne MSS. Some of the heads of the Jacobite party in England
made a representation to James, one article of which is as
follows: "They beg that Your Majesty would be pleased to admit of
the Chancellor of England into your Council; your enemies take
advantage of his not being in it." James's answer is evasive.
"The King will be, on all occasions, ready to express the just
value and esteem he has for his Lord Chancellor."

FN 428 See the paper headed "For my Son the Prince of Wales,

FN 430 As to this change of ministry at Saint Germains see the
very curious but very confused narrative in the Life of James,
ii. 498-575.; Burnet, ii. 219.; Memoires de Saint Simon; A French
Conquest neither desirable nor practicable, 1693; and the Letters
from the Nairne MSS. printed by Macpherson.

FN 431 Life of James, ii. 509. Bossuet's opinion will be found in
the Appendix to M. Mazure's history. The Bishop sums up his
arguments thus "Je dirai done volontiers aux Catholiques, s'il y
en a qui n'approuvent point la declaration dont il s'agit; Noli
esse justus multum; neque plus sapias quam necesse est, ne
obstupescas." In the Life of James it is asserted that the French
Doctors changed their opinion, and that Bossuet, though he held
out longer than the rest, saw at last that he had been in error,
but did not choose formally to retract. I think much too highly
of Bossuet's understanding to believe this.

FN 436 James, ii. 514. I am unwilling to believe that Ken was
among those who blamed the Declaration of 1693 as too merciful.

FN 437 Among the Nairne Papers is a letter sent on this occasion
by Middleton to Macarthy, who was then serving in Germany.
Middleton tries to soothe Macarthy and to induce Macarthy to
soothe others. Nothing more disingenuous was ever written by a
Minister of State. "The King," says the Secretary, "promises in
the foresaid Declaration to restore the Settlement, but at the
same time, declares that he will recompense all those who may
suffer by it by giving them equivalents." Now James did not
declare that he would recompense any body, but merely that he
would advise with his Parliament on the subject. He did not
declare that he would even advise with his Parliament about
recompensing all who might suffer, but merely about recompensing
such as had followed him to the last. Finally he said nothing
about equivalents. Indeed the notion of giving an equivalent to
every body who suffered by the Act of Settlement, in other words,
of giving an equivalent for the fee simple of half the soil of
Ireland, was obviously absurd. Middleton's letter will be found
in Macpherson's collection. I will give a sample of the language
held by the Whigs on this occasion. "The Roman Catholics of
Ireland," says one writer, "although in point of interest and
profession different from us yet, to do them right, have deserved
well from the late King, though ill from us; and for the late
King to leave them and exclude them in such an instance of
uncommon ingratitude that Protestants have no reason to stand by
a Prince that deserts his own party, and a people that have been
faithful to him and his interest to the very last."--A short and
true Relation of the Intrigues, &c., 1694.

FN 438 The edict of creation was registered by the Parliament of
Paris on the 10th of April 1693.

FN 439 The letter is dated the 19th of April 1693. It is among
the Nairne MSS., and was printed by Macpherson.

FN 440 "Il ne me plait nullement que M. Middleton est alle en
France. Ce n'est pas un homme qui voudroit faire un tel pas sans
quelque chose d'importance, et de bien concerte, sur quoy j'ay
fait beaucoup de reflections que je reserve a vous dire avostre
heureuse arrivee."--William to Portland from Loo. April 18/28
1693.

FN 441 The best account of William's labours and anxieties at
this time is contained in his letters to Heinsius--particularly
the letters of May 1. 9. and 30. 1693.

FN 442 He speaks very despondingly in his letter to Heinsius of
the 30th of May, Saint Simon says: "On a su depuis que le Prince
d'Orange ecrivit plusieurs fois au prince de Vaudmont son ami
intime, qu'il etait perdu et qu'il n'y avait que par un miracle
qu'il pût echapper."

invincibles. He adds, "Les gardes du Prince d'Orange, ceux de M.
de Vaudemont, et deux regimens Anglais en eurent l'honneur."

Duke of Ormond, 1693. The French did justice to William. "Le
Prince d'Orange," Racine wrote to Boileau, "pensa etre pris,
apres avoir fait des merveilles." See also the glowing
description of Sterne, who, no doubt, had many times heard the
battle fought over by old soldiers. It was on this occasion that
Corporal Trim was left wounded on the field, and was nursed by
the Beguine.

FN 449 Saint Simon mentions the reflections thrown on the
Marshal. Feuquieres, a very good judge, tells us that Luxemburg
was unjustly blamed, and that the French army was really too much
crippled by its losses to improve the victory.

FN 450 This account of what would have taken place, if Luxemburg
had been able and willing to improve his victory, I have taken
from what seems to have been a very manly and sensible speech
made by Talmash in the House of Commons on the 11th of December
following. See Grey's Debates.
