Note 145 — Chapter XLVIII · CLARENDON AND TYRCONNEL, 1685-1686

Clarendon’s letters, February and March 1686, particularly that of February 14. Sunderland to Clarendon, March 11. An acute observer notes that the Irish Protestant refugees in England were too proud to complain and less noticed than the French, though they were ‘our bone and our flesh.’ Every Frenchman was distinguished by garb and speech, but those from Ireland by neither, and so in the crowd not discerned. Character of the Protestants of Ireland, May 1689, p. 8.
