Luttrell's Diary. I have followed Luttrell's version of Temple's last
words. It agrees in substance with Clarendon's, but has more of the
abruptness natural on such an occasion. If anything could make so
tragical an event ridiculous, it would be the lamentation of the author
of the Londeriad]

himself in the Thames."]

and Irish parties in James's Council, by a remarkable letter of Bishop
Maloney to Bishop Tyrrel, which will be found in the Appendix to Kings
State of the Protestants.]

from any single letter, than from the whole tendency and spirit of the
correspondence of Avaux, that I have formed my notion of his objects.]
