e relation des fanatiques du Vivarez_ (Paris, 1715); Madame de Merez de l'Incarnation, _Memoires et journal tres fidele de ce qui s'est passe le 11 de may 1703 jusqu'au 1 juin 1705 a Nimes touchant les phanatiques_, published by E. de Barthelemy (Montpellier, 1874). These works are written by Catholic writers immediately after the war of the Cevennes, and, despite their partiality, include some valuable documents. _Memoires du marquis de Guiscard_ (Delft, 1705); Maximilien Misson, _Le Theatre sacre des Cevennes ou Recit de diverses merveilles nouvellement operees dans cette partie de la province de Languedoc_ (London, 1707); Misson, the author of the _Voyages en Italie_, which met with such a great success, gave prominence to the facts relating to the inspiration of the Camisards; the _Theatre_ also contains important extracts from the works of Benoit, Brueys, Guiscard and Boyer, and several original letters from Camisards; _Histoire des Camisards, &c._ (London, 1740), the anonymous work of a distinguished writer, which was eventually condemned by the parlement of Toulouse to be torn up and burnt in 1759; Antoine Court, _Histoire des troubles des Cevennes_ (3 vols., 1760), the best work of this period, compiled from numerous manuscript references. The war of the Cevennes has been treated in several English works, e.g. _A Compleat History of the Cevennes, giving a Particular Account of the Situation, &c._, by a doctor of civil law (London, 1703). This work includes a dedication to the queen, an historical account of the people of the Cevennes, the bull of Pope Clement against the Camisards, and the bishop of Nimes's mandate publishing the bull, and a discourse on the obligations of the English to help the Camisards, and a form of prayer used in the Camisard assembly, printed in London in 1703 under the title _Formulaire de prieres des Cevennois dans leurs assemblees. The History of the Rise and Downfal of the Camisards, &c._ (London, 1709), dealt with the prophets of the Cevennes in London, and is only an abridged translation of Pere Louvreleuil's work. Among modern works are, Ernest Moret, _Quinze ans du regne de Louis XIV_ (3 vols., 1859), a work which gives a remarkable history of the war of the Cevennes; _Les Insurges protestants sous Louis XIV._, studies and unedited documents published by G. Frosterus (1868); _Memoires de Bonbonnoux_, chief Cami
