Note 218 — Chapter XIII · POLITICS AND PHILOSOPHY

Peter du Moulin, Royalist and Episcopalian, had been private tutor to the second Earl of Cork’s family in Ireland. He translated the Devil of Mascon, a French story of authenticated spirit-rapping, published in 1658, with an introductory letter by Robert Boyle, to whom it was dedicated; and in 1670 du Moulin dedicated a volume of Latin poems to Boyle. He was the author of the Regii Sanguinis Clamor. His brother, on the other hand—Lewis du Moulin, Doctor of Physic—was a Parliamentarian and Independent, and, after the Visitation, was Camden Professor of History at Oxford.
