3. Dalrymple, Sir John, Memoirs of Great Britain and Ireland (from the Dissolu- 



tion of the last Parliament of Charles the Second until the Sea-Battle off 

 La Hogue), Second Edition, 3 vols., London and Edinburgh, 1771. 



Dalrymple was given access to the correspondence in the famous Kensington 

 cabinet. His Volume 2 is the most valuable source I have found for a study of the 

 period covering the English Revolution. The letters of James II to the Prince of 

 Orange, the letters incident to the embassy of Dykvelt, and the intriguing corre- 

 spondence between the English leaders and the Prince are the invaluable sources 

 for a study of this period. 

 Contents : 



Volume II, Part I. Letters carried by Monsieur Dykvelt to the Prince of 

 Orange from Lord Halifax, Lady Sunderland, Lord Churchill, Colonel Bellasys; 

 the Lords Sunderland, Nottingham, Clarendon, Rochester; Mr. Fitzpatrick; the 

 Lords Danby, Devonshire, Shrewsbury, Sir George McKenzie, the Bishop of London, 

 and the old Earl of Bedford, which contain the intrigues of Dykvelt in England, 

 in the summer of the year, 1687, for bringing about the revolution; pp. 180-200. 



Letters carried by Count Zuliestein to the Prince of Orange, from the Lords 

 Mordaunt, Nottingham, Danby, Halifax, and the Bishop of London, which contain 

 the intrigues of Count Zuliestein in England, in the autumn of 1687, for the same 

 purpose; pp. 200-210. 



Letters from Devonshire, Lady Sunderland, the Bishop of London, the Lords 

 Shrewsbury, Danby, and Halifax; pp. 210-222. 



Letters from the leaders of the Parliamentary party and others which follow 

 closely until the summer of 1688, thus giving an accurate portrayal of the succes- 

 sion of events until the revolution, pp. 224-229. 



Two letters of Halifax in December, 1686, to the Prince of Orange.

addressed to John Ellis, Esq.), Edited by George Agar Ellis, 2 vols., 

 London, 1829. Unfortunately, the writers of these letters are not given.

Halifax, 2 vols., London, 1898. 

 This work gains its value from its painstaking annotation and its most rigid 

 attention to evidence. The critical point of view of the author and compiler is 

 marked throughout.
