The King, on the 12th of December this year, held an assembly of the Protestants at Mantes, in which he publicly declared that his changing his religion should make no alteration in the affairs of the Protestants. And, the Calvinists having asked many things of him, he told them he could not comply with their requests, but that he would tolerate them.

The King had a mind to see them march out, and viewed them from a window over St. Denis' gate. They all saluted him with their hats off, bowing profoundly low. The King, with great politeness, returned the salute to the principal officers, adding these words: "Remember me to your master; go, I permit you, but return no more." This anecdote agrees with that in the Memoirs for the History of France, but is contradicted by the Journal written by the same author.
THE GUNPOWDER PLOT
1 (return)
January, 1897, p. 192.
2 (return)
This is a mistake. The fine of three thousand pounds was imposed for his part in the Essex rebellion.
3 (return)
Off and on, a fortnight at the end of January and beginning of February, and then again probably for a very short time in March.
4 (return)
Fawkes was absent part of the time.
5 (return)
The words between brackets are inserted in another hand.
6 (return)
Inserted in the same hand as that in which the words about the cellar were written. It will be observed that the insertion cannot serve anyone's purpose.
7 (return)
Gracechurch Street.
8 (return)
On July 20-30, 1605, Father Creswell writes to Paul V that Nottingham showed him every civility "that could be expected from one who does not profess our holy religion."
9 (return)
The "cellar" was not really hired till a little before Easter, March 31st.
10 (return)
Properly "John."
11 (return)
In The King's Book it is stated that Fawkes was shown the rack, but never racked. Probably the torture used on the 9th was that of the manacles, or hanging up by the wrists or thumbs.
12 (return)
The principal ones were either killed or taken at Holbeche on that very day.
13 (return)
Thomas Winter.
14 (return)
Catesby, Percy, and John Wright.
15 (return)
I.e., Catesby. In a copy forwarded to Edmondes by Salisbury (Stowe MSS. 168, fol. 223) the copyist had originally written "three or four more," which is altered to "three."
16 (return)
Christopher Wright.
17 (return)
Robert Winter.
18 (return)
This is an obvious mistake, as the widow Skinner was not at this time married to Bright, but one just as likely to be made by Fawkes himself as by his examiners.
19 (return)
Percy.
20 (return)
The words in Italics are marked by pen-strokes across them for omission.
21 (return)
G.P.B., No. 49. In the Stowe copy the names of the commissioners are omitted, and a list of fifteen plotters added. As the paper was enclosed in a letter to Edmondes of the 14th, these might easily be added at any date preceding that.
22 (return)
Probably, as Father Gerard suggests, what would now be known as a coursing-match.
23 (return)
Proclamation Book, R.O., p. 117.
24 (return)
A late postscript added to the letter to the ambassadors sent off on the 9th (Winwood, ii. 173) shows that before the end of the day Salisbury had learned even more of the details than were comprised in the sheriff's letter.
25 (return)
November 5th.
26 (return)
November 6th.
27 (return)
November 7th.
28 (return)
November 8th.
CERVANTES' "DON QUIXOTE" REFORMS LITERATURE
1 (return)
The phrase was probably used by Cervantes in irony. It had been used by others before, and was a common form.
2 (return)
Fr. Sepulveda, quoted by Navarrete.
3 (return)
And "employed in various agencies and businesses," says Navarrete, vaguely.
4 (return)
That Don Quixote could not have been written before 1591 is proved by the mention in chapter vi of a book published in that year. That it must have been written subsequently to 1596 is proved by the reference in chapter xix to an incident which was not ended till September, 1596 (see Navarrete). There are other hints and allusions in the story which, I think, show that it could scarcely have been begun while Philip II was alive.
5 (return)
From Wilhelm Meister, Lehrjahre, chapter xii, thus Englished by Thomas Carlyle:
"Who never ate his bread in sorrow,
Who never spent the darksome hours
Weeping and watching for the morrow,
He knew you not, ye unseen Powers."
6 (return)
There are two curious pieces of evidence in proof that Don Quixote was known before it was printed. In the first edition of the Picara Justina, composed by Francisco de Ubeda—the license to print which is dated August, 1604—there are some truncated verses, like those in the beginning of Don Quixote, in which Don Quixote is mentioned by name as already famous (Catalogo de Salva, vol. ii, p. 157). Also in a private letter from Lope de Vega to his patron, the Duke of Sessa, there is a malignant allusion to Cervantes, speaking of poets. "There is none so bad as Cervantes, and none so foolish as to praise Don Quixote." The letter is dated August 4, 1604.
7 (return)
That seems to have been the usual period for which a book was licensed in that age. The sum which Cervantes received for his copyright is not recorded.
8 (return)
The Third Part of Don Florisel de Niquea was dedicated to a former Duque de Bejar. See Salva's Catalogo, vol. ii, p. 14.
9 (return)
Cervantes is supposed to reflect on this meddlesome ecclesiastic in Part II, chap, xxxi, of Don Quixote, where there is a passage against those of the religious profession who "govern the houses of princes," written with a bitterness most unusual in our author.
