Innes_1

Innes, Louis (1651-1738), was the principal (appointed 1682) of the Scotch College in Paris when James II. and his son were exiles in France. In 1714 he resigned his post, and became almoner to the ex-queen, and Secretary of State to the Chevalier de St. George. He is supposed to have compiled the memoirs of James II., of which an abstract by Dr. Clarke, who ascribed them to Louis' brother Thomas Innes (1662-1744), appeared in 1816.
