THE following extraordinary account of the "Cause C l bre" of Urbain Grandier, the Cur of Loudun, accused of Magic and of having caused the Nuns of the Convent of Saint Ursula to be possessed of devils, is written by an eye-witness, and not only an eye-witness but an actor in the scenes he describes. It is printed at "Poitiers, chez J. Thoreau et la veuve M nier, Imprimeurs du Roi et de l'Universit , 1634." I believe two copies only are known: my own, and the one in the National Library, Paris. The writer is Monsieur des Niau, Counsellor at la Fl che, evidently a firm believer in the absurd charges brought against Grandier.
