Père Griffet, who now becomes one of the chief authorities for this part of the reign, discovered, in the middle of the last century, a number of Renard’s despatches in the royal library at Besançon, and wrote, in answer to David Hume’s gross libel and caricature of Queen Mary, a volume 12mo, of 197 pages, which was published at Amsterdam in 1765. Its title, _Nouveaux Eclaircissements sur le règne de Marie Tudor reine d’Angleterre_, shows the importance of the book, which is now scarce. There is no copy of it in the British Museum.] [Footnote 339: Griffet, _ut supra_.] [Footnote 340: _Privy Purse Expenses of the Princess Mary_, pp. 194-97, 21st September 1553.
