ted was altogether insufficient for the
war; and James, urged by the military exigency, which did not tolerate
the delay of calling a parliament when Schomberg threatened the
capital, issued a commission on the 10th April, 1690, to raise L20,000
a month additional; yet so far was even this from meeting his wants,
that we find by one of Tyrconnell's letters to the queen (quoted in
Thorpe's catalogue for 1836), that in the spring of 1689, James's
expenses were L100,000 a month. Those who have censured this additional
levy and the brass coinage were jealous of what was done towards
fighting the battle of Ireland, or forgot that levies by the crown and
alterations of the coin had been practised by every government in
Europe.]

restoration, occupies a page and a half of Cox's Magazine. To reduce
him to his hereditary principalities (for they were no less) which he
held in 1641, was no great grievance, and that was the object of this
Act.]
