A Child's History of England.236

Their bewilderment [confusion] continuing, the people now lighted bonfires and made rejoicings, as if they had any reason to be glad to have the King back again. But, his stay was very short, for the English guards were removed from Whitehall, Dutch guards were marched up to it, and he was told by one of his late [已卸任的] ministers that the Prince would enter London, next day, and he had better go to Ham. He said, Ham was a cold, damp place, and he would rather go to Rochester. He thought himself very cunning in this, as he meant to escape from Rochester to France. The Prince of Orange and his friends knew that, perfectly well, and desired nothing more. So, he went to Gravesend, in his royal barge, attended by certain lords, and watched by Dutch troops, and pitied by the generous people, who were far more forgiving than he had ever been, when they saw him in his humiliation. On the night of the twenty-third of December, not even then understanding [此时还不明白] that everybody wanted to get rid of him, he went out, absurdly, through his Rochester garden, down to the Medway, and got away to France, where he rejoined the Queen.

There had been a council in his absence, of the lords, and the authorities of London. When the Prince came, on the day after the King's departure, he summoned the Lords to meet him, and soon afterwards, all those who had served in any of the Parliaments of King Charles the Second. It was finally resolved by these authorities that the throne was vacant by the conduct of King James the Second; that it was inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom, to be governed by a Popish prince; that the Prince and Princess of Orange should be King and Queen during their lives and the life of the survivor of them; and that their children should succeed them, if they had any. That if they had none, the Princess Anne and her children should succeed; that if she had none, the heirs of the Prince of Orange should succeed.

On the thirteenth of January, one thousand six hundred and eighty-nine, the Prince and Princess, sitting on a throne in Whitehall, bound themselves to these conditions. The Protestant religion was established in England, and England's great and glorious Revolution was complete.

光荣革命后，英国逐渐建立起君主立宪制。1689年是康熙二十八年，《尼布楚条约》于9月7日签订。

莱布尼兹是一位有着极其广泛兴趣的学者，被誉为百科全书式的人物。从年轻的时候起他就通过广泛阅读了解中国传统文化。1689年，莱布尼兹认识了从中国返回的耶稣会士闵明我。当1694年闵明我再次回中国时，莱布尼兹交给他一个希望了解中国的提纲，共30项之多，几乎包括了所有的知识领域。1697年10月，法国传教士白晋与莱布尼兹开始了通信。1697年12月，在与白晋的通信中，莱布尼兹阐明了自己的二进制观点。1701年11月，白晋从北京给莱布尼兹回信，告诉他“伏羲六爻”的排列与二进制记数法的顺序是相同的，还附上了伏羲六十四爻排列的木版图。1703年4月1日，莱布尼兹经辗转收到了这封信。几天后他完成了递交给法国科学院的论文《关于仅用0与1两个符号的二进制算术的说明，并附其应用以及据此解释古代中国伏羲图的探讨》。
