Ton entreprise, ô furieux, N'est pas à tous connue; Un jour tout te descouvrira, THE ROYAL BOUNTY. The following is a list of French Ministers, and the widows and orphans of French Ministers receiving allowances from the Royal Bounty fund, in the year 1717. It is arranged under four heads:-" Ancient Ministers," "Widows & Orphans of the Ancient Ministers," "Ministers ordained since the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes," and "Widows of the Ministers ordained since the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes." Some of the names in the list occurred also in the Petition of 1689, printed on pp. 163-166 of Part 2 of the Society's Proceedings. Several variations will be noticed in the spelling of what are apparently identical names. For instance "Cairon" appears as "Cairou" in the earlier list, "Camon" as "Camou," "Gommart" as "Gommarc," and so forth. The orthography of the original manuscript has however, in each case been strictly maintained with the exception that an error has inadvertently been made in the spelling of the second name in the earlier list, which should be "Chenevis" instead of "Chevenis," as printed. It The remarks made about some of the Ministers show how greatly they stood in need of assistance. The hardships they had suffered appear to have told severely upon them, and in some cases had apparently also affected their children. will be observed that one of the Ministers, M. La Pierre, named in the third section of this list, had been present when Claude Brousson, the famous Pastor of the Desert, was broken upon the wheel. The manuscript, like that of the list first printed, is preserved in the Public Record Office, London.
