(22.) The Messieurs Giberne (p. 317), sons of a French Protestant gentleman who apostatised, adhered to their faith. They are said to have come to England as military officers with William of Orange. The surname is now indigenous in England, and has lately come into prominent notice by the publication of “Aimée, a Tale of the Days of James II.,” by Agnes Giberne; in the preface the author represents herself as “certain that my own collateral, if not my immediate, ancestors were among the number of the old Languedoc noblesse who suffered persecution and forfeited rank, wealth, and country, for the sake of their religion, not long after my tale.” By the same author are the following:— (1.)
