^{page 10 note a} The cudgelling which Dryden had got in December, 1679, was still fresh in people's memory. Rochester had been roughly handled in the “Essay on Satire,” the joint production of Dryden and Mulgrave, and took his revenge in this way.

^{page 16 note a} “He went to death like an undaunted hero,” and he “told a friend of mine that he did not value dying of a rush, and hop'd and believ'd God would deale with him like a gentleman “ are Evelyn's remarks. Rereaby tells us that he had led a forlorn hope at Mons.

^{page 16 note b} Lucy, daughter of Sir Robert Carr, and wife of Francis, 2nd Lord Holies.

^{page 16 note c} The Lord Mayor was Sir John Moore. The dispute was about the election of sheriffs, the Lord Mayor favouring the Court candidates.

^{page 24 note c} Robert Ferguson, the busiest of “fanatical knaves.” “Violent, malignant, regardless of truth, insensible to shame, insatiable of notoriety, delighting in intrigue, in tumult, in mischief for its own sake, he toiled during many years in the darkest mines of faction.” Pilloried thus by Macaulay, and branded as Judas in “Absalom and Achitophel,” he is in a fair way of being notorious for ever. He escaped to Holland, to be at the bottom of any mischief that was brewing.

^{page 25 note a} Charles Umfreville, arrested and examined before the Council for unlawful possession of arms.

^{page 25 note b} John Trenchard of Taunton, made Secretary of State in 1693.

^{page 44 note a} Arthur Herbert, who took such a distinguished part in the Revolution ; afterwards Earl of Torrington.

^{page 45 note a} Thomas Chudleigh, English minister at the Hague.

^{page 47 note a} Burnet also mentions this, that Charles alleged that he refused mercy to Armstrong for this reason. The story was, that he had been sent by Cromwell to assassinate Charles. He left papers with the sheriffs to refute the charge.

^{page 47 note b} Cardinal César d'Estrées.

^{page 47 note c} Francis Brudenell, son of the Earl of Cardigan.

^{page 47 note d} He means Master of the Ordnance.

^{page 48 note a} The physician who was present when Charles the Second was seized with the fit which preceded his death. King bled him and restored him to consciousness, a service for which a thousand pounds was awarded to him. It appears, however, from the Bishop of Oxford's letter of the 7th February, 1686, that the reward was never paid, but that King received knighthood instead, which, as the Bishop observes, was equivalent to fining him a hundred pounds. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society.

^{page 49 note a} Ford, Lord Grey of Werke.

^{page 55 note a} He was proclaimed at Taunton on the 20th June.

^{page 60 note a} The exact number of rebels whom Jeffreys hanged, as stated by Lord Macaulay, was three hundred and twenty. The condemnatory remarks of Lyttelton are of peculiar significance in the mouth of a courtier. Macaulay has not overcoloured his vivid picture of the Bloody Assizes.

^{page 61 note a} Daniel Finch, Earl of Nottingham, afterwards Secretary of State. His first wife was Lady Essex Rich, daughter of Robert, Earl of Warwick. His marriage with Anne Hatton, referred to in this letter, took place on the 29th December, 1685. He was born in 1647, and was therefore twenty-one years older than his bride.

^{page 61 note b} As Lord-Lieuteuant of Ireland.

^{page 79 note 4} James Fitz-James, natural son of James II. by Anne Churchill.

^{page 80 note a} Evelyn visited Lyttelton at Shene, and tells us how he came by his house there : “24, Mar. 1688. I went with Sir Charles Littleton to Sheene, an house and estate given to him by Lord Brouncker ; one who was ever noted for a hard, covetous, vicious man, but for his worldly craft and skill in gaming few exceeded him. Coming to die, he bequeath'd all his land, house, furniture, &c. to Sir Charles, to whom he had no manner of relation, but an ancient friendship contracted at the famous siege of Colchester, 40 yeares before. It is a pretty place, with fine gardens, and well planted, and given to one worthy of them, Sir Charles being an honest gentleman and soldier … He is married to one Mrs Temple, who was formerly maide of honour to the late Queene, a beautiful lady, and he has many fine children, so that none envy his good fortune.”

^{page 84 note b} He here confounds Joachim with Anthony Le Grand.

^{page 84 note c} “Lectiones variantes et Annotationes in quinque priores libros Antiquitatum Judaicarum.” Oxford, 1686. Wood adds : “His notes upon those Books were too large and therefore disliked by Dr. John Fell, and the author, being weary of the work, did goe no farther than his Notes on the first five Books, which caused an old Theologist and Pretender to poetry [Clement Barksdale] to sing in his doggerel rhimes- 'Savilian Bernard's a right learned man ; Josephus he will finish when he can.' “

^{page 85 note a} Aldrich's edition of the first and part of the second book of the Bellum Judaicum was published with Bernard's annotations on the Antiquities in 1687.

^{page 98 note b} John Massey, the Dean.

^{page 100 note a} Robert Werden.

^{page 100 note b} Poor Harry went off to the Prince of Orange. Nash in his History of Worcestershire, i. 501, prints the following interesting letter from Lyttelton to his wife :-

“I had yours last night. I told the king I could not see his majestie without some confusion that so much of my Wood had forfeited his duty in my son's defection, which he was pleased very graciously to return : ' he could not wonder that my son had done so since his own children were so disobedient.' But I should have told you that I said withall as he went without my leave, so he should never have my blessing till he had returned to his duty: and the king was pleased to say, he was satisfied : I was not, he knew, in fault, and told Sir John Talbot to that purpose afterwards. I was with the king last night at his eonchee, and he told us my lord Churchill waited four hours after he came to the prince of Orange's quarters before he was admitted to see him, and then had no quarters assigned him, so was faine to go five or six miles off to get any. Indeed they say there is very little regard to those that are gone, and the prince pays nobody a penny but those he brought with him, and those have been raised by his commission, so that I believe our spark will grow quickly weary of his adventure. Till the trumpet comes back we can tell nothing what to think of the treaty the lords were gone upon : the trumpet went to demand their passe. Here is come an addresse last night from the fleet, brought by lord Berkley and captain Leighton, signed by lord Dartmouth and every captain, to thank the king for calling a parliament, as the only expedient to preserve his majesty, the peace of the kingdom, and the protestant religion, which they resolve to defend I think with their blood. Sir Roger Strickland's hand is to it. The poor king is mightily broken. A great heart can't so easily bend. I don't know yet if I shall be commanded to stay here or goe back. I hope tomorrow though to come and dine with you. I have not time to say more, and the room is full of officers ; so, dear, good morrow. “CHARLES LYTTELTON.”

^{page 101 note a} Nottingham's letters at this crisis will be read with interest; and particularly those portions of them which refer to his own action. He is very cautious in the means he takes to prevent identification in case his letters should fall into wrong hands. Besides to some extent disguising his hand and omitting his signature, he uses a common seal and false addresses. The present letter is directed to “Mr, Francis Greene, at Uppingham.”

^{page 102 note a} Colonel Thomas Langston.

^{page 102 note b} Major Robert Clifford.

^{page 102 note c} Major Walter Lyttelton.
