Note 223 — Chapter LII · LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN, 1689

Walker and Mackenzie. Sermons and speeches by Walker are reprinted in Dwyer’s edition of the True Account. Sir Charles Lyttleton, writing to Lord Hatton on August 8, 1689, says he had talked the day before to a gentleman who was storekeeper in Ireland, who confirmed all he had heard about the Irish want of guns. There were only a few heavy ones in the country, and the ground about Londonderry was so ‘rotten’ that they could not be drawn thither.—Hatton Correspondence. Walker and Mackenzie both call the work at Bishop’s Gate a ravelin, but as there was no ditch it should probably be called a demi-lune.
