A design of w hich it is much easier to conceive an agreeal)le idea, than any rational hope ever to see it bro...ught to jierfection among us. This project, at least, was entirely defeated bv the religious conuuotions thai ensu'd 10 TROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY on King James's accession to the throne : at which time the Earl took a resolution to pass the remainder of his life at Rome ; telling his friends it would be best to sit next the chimney when the chamber smoU'd. Amid these reflections he was seized by the gout, and being too impatient of pain he permitted a bold French pretender to physic to apply a repelling medicine, in order to give him permanent relief; which drove the distemper into his bowels, and in a short time put a period to his life in the year 16S4 [that is 1684/5, Roscommon's death occurring in January, 1685].
