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_,
