lume, 1833) with the suppressed passages of the first volume and notes by the earls of Dartmouth and Hardwicke, with the remarks of Swift. This edition, under the direction of M.J. Routh, was enlarged in a second Oxford edition of 1833. A new edition, based on this, but making use of the Bodleian MS., which differs very considerably from the printed version, was edited by Osmund Airy (Oxford, 1897, &c.). In 1902 (Clarendon Press, Oxford) Miss H.C. Foxcroft edited _A Supplement to Burnet's History of His Own Time_, to which is prefixed an account of the relation between the different versions of the History--the Bodleian MS., the fragmentary Harleian MS. in the British Museum and Sir Thomas Burnet's edition; the book contains the remaining fragments of Burnet's original memoirs, his autobiography, his letters to Admiral Herbert and his private meditations. The chief differences between Burnet's original draft as represented by the Bodleian MS. and the printed history consist in a more lenient view generally of individuals, a modification of the censure levelled at the Anglican clergy, changes obviously dictated by a general variation in his point of view, and a more cautious account of personal matters such as his early relations with Lauderdale. He also cut out much minor detail, and information relating to himself and to members of his family. His [v.04 p.0853] _History of the Reformation of the Church of England_ was edited (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 7 vols., 1865) by N. Pocock. Besides the works mentioned above may be noticed: _Some Passages of the Life and Death of John, Earl of Rochester_ (Lond., 1680; facsimile reprint, with introduction by Lord Ronald Gower, 1875); _The Life and Death of Sir Matthew Hale, Kt., sometime Lord Chief-Justice of his Majesties Court of Kings Bench_ (Lond., 1682), which is included in C. Wordsworth's _Ecclesiastical Biography_ (vol. vi., 1818); _The History of the Rights of Princes in disposing of Ecclesiastical Benefices and Church Lands_ (Lond., 1682, 8vo); _The Life of William Bedell, D.D., Bishop of Kilmore in Ireland_ (1685), containing the correspondence between Bedell and James Waddesdon of the Holy Inquisition on the subject of the Roman obedience; _Reflections on Mr Varillas's "History of the Revolutions that have happened in Europe in matters of Religion," and more particularly on his Ninth Book, that relates to England_ (Amst., 1686), appended to the account of his travels ent
