NOTE.
∵ I am much indebted to the Proprietors of the Edinburgh Review for permission to incorporate in this book two articles which appeared in that journal in October 1887 and July 1888, and which form a considerable portion of chapters 1 to 9. I am also under obligations to Sir W. Codrington, Bart., and to the Rev. W. Forbes Leith, S. J., for unpublished narratives given in the Appendix; Mr. W. W. Vaughan has favoured me with information respecting his ancestor; and I have courteously been allowed to make researches at the Record Office, at the Hotel des Archives, Paris, and at the Paris Prefecture of Police.
