Note 885 — THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D. (continued 5)
Reading edition
Burnet (History of his own Time, ed. 1818, iv. 303) in 1712 speaks of Hickes and Brett as being both in the Church, but as shewing 'an inclination towards Popery.' Hickes, he says, was at the head of the Jacobite party. See Boswell's Hebrides, Oct. 25.
