P.S. It commences at the 19th chapter of St. Matthew, and seems perfect to
the 21st chapter of Revelation.

_Ravilliac_.--I have read that a pyramid was erected at Paris upon the
murder of Henry IV. by Ravilliac, and that the inscription represented the
Jesuits as men--
"Maleficæ superstitonis, quorum instinctu peculiaris adolescens
(Ravilliac) dirum facinus instituerat."--_Thesaur. Hist._, tom. iv.
lib. 95, ad ann. 1598.
We are also informed that he confessed that it was the book of Mariana the
Jesuit, and the traitorous positions maintained in it, which induced him to
murder the king, for which cause the book (condemned by the parliament and
the Sorbonne) was publicly burnt in Paris. Is the pyramid still remaining?
If not, when was it taken down or destroyed, and by whom or by whose
authority?
