The Pope had levied upon the clergy first-fruits and tenths.
At the Reformation Henry transferred the revenue to the crown,
hut by a subsequent enactment of his reign the payments
from smaller livings were remitted. At the instance of Bishop
Burnet, Anne gave back to the Church the revenue of the crown
derived from the larger benefices; and a Bill was passed, and
received the royal assent, 3 April, 1704, authorizing this alienation
of the royal revenue, and empowering the Queen to create
a corporation in . which she could invest the fund for the
augmentation of poor livings .and for the erection of parsonage
houses. This fund is now known by the name of “ Queen
Anne’s Bounty.”

The Duke of Marlborough, deeming the possession of Do-
•nauwerth of very great importance, resolved to attempt its capture
without delay and before the arrival of expected reinforcements.
He made his attack upon the entrenched camp of the
Elector of Bavaria on the Schellenberg, a hill to the east of the
city, and after a tremendous struggle, conducted by himself in
person, was upon the point of forcing his way into the lines,
when Prince Louis came up with the Imperial troops and
completed this decisive victory, which, as the inscription on the
edge foretells, was but the forerunner of still greater ones.
