Note 408 — Chapter VII
William L. R. (William Leist Readwin) Cates translation
The Roman Catholic historian Lingard, in his History of England, at first put forward the idea of a conspiracy;—'A plot was woven';—but in a later edition, he felt compelled to relinquish the idea of conspiracy and to substitute that of discovery;—'A discovery was then made.' The word complot remains in the French version of his work.
