TL;DR: Giffard had been provocatively consecrated bishop of Madura in the Banqueting Hall at Whitehall in 1688 as discussed by the authors, while protestant undergraduates stormed and howled outside the chapel windows.
Abstract: The year 1688 was for England a religious as well as a political turning-point, and nowhere more so than among the English Roman Catholics. The post-Revolution Church was maintained and led by the same clergy who had flourished under James 11, but in very different circumstances. The hectic triumphalism of the years before 1688 gave way to a period of slow, cautious, and self-consciously a-political consolidation. The change can be seen in the careers of two men, Bonaventure Giffard and John Gother. Giffard had been provocatively consecrated bishop of Madura in the Banqueting Hall at Whitehall in 1688. In the same year he had gone to Oxford, to preside over twelve catholic dons at Magdalen College, intruded in the place of the evicted protestant Fellows. There he had confirmed and sung the mass, while protestant undergraduates stormed and howled outside the chapel windows. The Revolution brought a fourteen-month prison sentence in Newgate, from which he emerged, a chastened man, to oversee the formation and consolidation of congregations and clergy funds and organisations in the Midland District and, after 1702, to take charge of the London District with its mission to the London poor and unchurched.

Abstract: During the second half of the eighteenth century in France, education was an issue that attracted considerable attention. Special interest in the subject seems to date from 1762, the year in which the Jesuits were expelled from France, and Rousseau's Emile appeared. Grimm wrote in April of 1763 that "depuis la chute des jesuites et le livre inutile de Jean Jacques Rousseau, intitule Emile, on n'a cesse d'ecrire sur l'education."1 Two months later the journalist-baron noted that works on the subject were appearing weekly.2 In 1769 the Journal d'education appeared. Writing in the first number of this publication, the abbe de Lille asserted that "jamais peut-etre on n'a parle si souvent sur l'education qu'on ne le fait aujourd'hui."3 The Jansenist Nouvelles ecclesiasiques observed in 1777 that many works on education had appeared in the last fifty years and that interest in "this important subject" had grown noticeably since the expulsion of the Jesuits.4 In 1782 the editor of an anonymous pamphlet entitled Considerations generales sur l'education asserted, "La matiere de l'education publique attache en ce moment plus que jamais les esprits."5 In the same year the Annee litteraire complained that "il y a plus de
