[Footnote 740: The impatience of Lauzun and his countrymen to get away
from Ireland is mentioned in a letter of Oct. 21. 1690, quoted in the
Memoirs of James, ii. 421. "Asimo," says Colonel Kelly, the author of
the Macariae Excidium, "diuturnam absentiam tam aegre molesteque ferebat

nunquam prodire auderent; tanto eorum odio populus in universum
exarserat."--Macariae Excidium.]

which I cannot recollect the title.]

[Footnote 745: Macariae Excidium. Boisseleau remarked the ebb and flow
of courage among the Irish. I have quoted one of his letters to his
wife. It
