The ‘Gallia Christiana’ provides the date of the Canon’s death as November 31, 1701, ‘in bed, of a sudden seizure’. Details of this sort are not common in the great work of the Sammarthani.
I have never quite understood what was Dennistoun’s view of the events I have narrated. He estimated to me once a text from Ecclesiasticus: ‘Some state of mind there be that are created for vengeance, and in their fury lay on sore strokes. ’ On another occasion he said: ‘Isaiah was a very sensible man; doesn’t he say something about night enemies living in the damages of Babylon? These things are rather beyond us at present. ’
Another confidence of his impressed me rather, and I sympathized with it. We had been, last year, to Comminges, to see Cannon Alberic’s burial place. It is a great marbled erectile with an effigy of the Cannon in a large wig and soutane, and a more sophisticated eulogy of his learning below. I saw Dennistoun talking for a long time with the Vicar of Saint Bertrand’s, and as we had away he asked me: ‘I hope it isn’t wrong: you know I am a Presbyterian — but I— I believe there will be “saying of Mass and vocal of dirges” for Alberic de Mauléon’s rest. ’ Then he added, with a little the Upper British in his tone, ‘I had no notion they came so dear. ’
The book is in the Wentworth Collection at Cambridge. The drawing was photographed and then burned by Dennistoun on the day when he left Comminges on the occasion of his first visit.
