ESTC N38222 records only a single copy of this issue - at the National
Archives. In this issue reference is made to the Queen’s declaration of 25
July 1709 which still has not been obeyed and the latest date quoted is
25 Dec 1709. Margaret and her six sisters, daughters of Peter Baliol and
his wife “Dame Colonell Boden” (“We are the Baliol’s, whose
predecessors were the founders of Baliol-Colledge in Oxford; and
conquered the island of Guernsey, and presented the same to the crown
of England”), were, under William, granted “the quit-rent of the two
provinces of Munster and Leinster, and the thirds of the clergy, and the
seven tenths of the first fruits in the Kingdom of Ireland”.

BARRUEL (Augustin), Abbé.

during the French revolution. A work dedicated to the English
nation.

FIRST IRISH EDITION, pages xxiv, 396, wanting half-title,
8vo, contemporary calf, neatly rebacked and gilt retaining

First published as “Histoire du clergé pendant la révolution francoise, “
in London, 1793. Barruel, a Jesuit in his earlier days, acquired a
reputation under the Ancien Régime as a religious polemicist. While
living in England he wrote his famous work, “Mémoires pour servir
l’histoire du jacobinisme”, London, 1797-98, in which he argued that
the French Revolution had originated in a conspiracy by the
Philosophes and the Freemasons.
