NOTE.
The following names are mentioned in this Chapter:— Pasteur De L’Angle (p. 5), the old Marquis De Ruvigny, (pp. 5, 8), the second Marquis De Ruvigny, Lord Galway (p. 9), Pasteur Ménard (p. 6), Charles, Duke of Schomberg (p. 9), Mainhardt, Duke of Leinster (p. 9), De la Blachière (p. 9), De la Coutière (p. 9).
Chapter VI. (pp. 10-16, 155, 314). Maximilian Misson (born about 1650, died 1722), a Judge of the Chamber of the Edict in Paris, was a son of Jacques Misson, pasteur of Niort. The pasteur and all his family became refugees in London, and were naturalized in 1687 (see List XIII.) He was travelling tutor to Lord Charles Butler, afterwards Earl of Arran, to whom he dedicated his Nouveau Voyage d’ Italie, on 1st January 1691.
NOTE.
Misson’s writings prove him to have been a man of taste, and a connoisseur as to the fine arts. Benoist, speaking of the desolations committed upon lovely mansions and pleasure-grounds by the dragoons and the Popish mobs, adds, that the beautiful mansion in the environs of the city, belonging to Misson, one of the councillors of the Parliament of Paris, and its garden with its tasteful decorations, were no exceptions to the rule, but were totally laid waste. I give the full titles, both of the originals and of the translations, of Misson’s celebrated works, best editions:—
