Bagwell, Richard
Ireland -- History -- 17th century
[255] Melfort's unpopularity is sufficiently shown by Dundee's letters
to him, June 27 and 28, Napier, iii. 599. Notices in Dangeau and De
Sourches. Avaux's letters, particularly that of July 16/26, enclosing
James's requirements, Louvois to Avaux, September 7/17. Madame de
Sévigné marvelled greatly at Lauzun's 'second volume.' The reference
to her letters and to Bussy Rabutin's concerning him are collected
in the Grands Ecrivains edition of La Bruyère, i. 335, 535, where
he is characterised under the name of Straton. Madame de Caylus in
her memoirs notes the good luck of Lauzun in being in England at
the critical time, gaining honour and glory for helping William by
assisting the flight of James.
[256] Lauzun to Seignelay, April 6/16, in appendix to Ranke's History
and to Louvois, _ib._ June 16. Proclamation of March 25/April 4. It
was known at the French Court that Lauzun was 'extrêmement ulceré
avec raison' against Dover, De Sourches, April 24/May 4. Compare the
extracts in Miss Sandars's _Lauzun_. _True and Perfect Journal_, June
16.
[257] Simon Luttrell's orders as Governor of Dublin, May 3 and June
18, 1690, in appendix to King's _State of the Protestants_, nos. 30
and 31. Besides King's principal book on this subject we have his
autobiography, the original Latin printed in _English Historical
Review_, vol. xiii., an English version in King's _A great Archbishop
of Dublin_, and his diary edited by Dr. Lawlor in the _Irish Journal of
Archæology_, 1903.
[258] Archdeacon Hamilton's _Life of Bonnell_, 3rd edition, 1707,
particularly pp. 60, 273. Bonnell to Strype, August 20, 1684, January
21, and April 17, 1689, and August 5, 1690, in _English Historical
Review_, xix. 122, 299. _Clarendon and Rochester Corr._, i. 245, 266.
Cartwright was buried in Christ Church with a full choral service, all
the principal people in Dublin attending, _Athenæ Oxonienses_, p. 831.
