Gilbert
Burnet
, 1643-1715, Bishop of Salisbury, was born in Edinburgh. His
travels abroad were undertaken after the accession of King James II, in 1685,
and he was a witness of the outburst of cruelty which followed the revocation
of the Edict of Nantes. His account of his travels was first published in 1687,
and was primarily directed to the exposure of popery and tyranny. For other
works by Burnet, see the Index.
