Walker’s True Account. The Comber letter is in King, appx. xii., and in many other places. Secret Consults of the Romish Party. Proclamations of October 15 and December 7. The ‘Irish night’ in London is sufficiently described by Macaulay, chap. x. Ellis Correspondence, ii. 356. Writing to her cousin Abigail Harley on December 13, 1688, Mrs. Pye says, ‘The watch called all up that the Irish were near, and at Knightsbridge had killed man, woman, and child, and were resolved for to fire and massacre. I bless God I was not much frighted as might be expected,’ Portland Papers, iii. 420.
