That house is now occupied by Mr.Hugh M'Call, author of 'Our Staple Manufactures,' who worthily represents the intelligence, the public spirit, and patriotism of the English and French settlers, with a dash of the Irish ardour, a combination of elements which perhaps produces the best 'staple' of character.

I stood upon the identical oak floor upon which old Crommelin planned and worked, and in the grave-yard Mr.M'Call deciphered for me the almost obliterated inscriptions, recording the deaths of various members of the Crommelin family.

Their leader, Louis himself, died in July, 1727, aged 75 years.
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes drove three quarters of a million of Protestants out of France.

A great number settled in London, where they established the arts of silk-weaving in Spitalfields and of fancy jewellery in St.Giles's.

About 6,000 fled to Ireland, of whom many settled in Dublin, where they commenced the silk manufacture, and where one of them, La Touche, opened the first banking establishment.
