respect of grandeur or beauty. What triumph with an English guest. Upon Mr. URBAN, A. M. Dec. 20. THE following extract from the Cambridge Chronicle," Dec. 8, will, I trust, be acceptable to your classical and antiquarian readers, and particularly to those who are, or have been, members of the University of Cambridge. Not having leisure at present, I will, at some future opportunity, send you a copy of the inscription, and a sketch of the marble. Yours, &c. RICHMONDIENSIS." “On Wednesday (Dec. 6,) at the Eongregation in the Senate-house, the Rev. Bridges Harvey, M. A. of Jesus College, presented to the University a very valuable Marble, with a long Greek inscription, to be added to the collection of Greek marbles in the vestibule of the Public Library. It was found about the middle of the last century, between Smyrna and Ephesus, at a village called Segyceque, and brought to England by Captain Thomas Morley. The inscription sets forth, that it was erected in honour of Crato, a musician, by the Society of Grecian Tragedians and Comedians; who are called Artists of Bacchus in Ionia and the Hellespont. Some account of this inscription was published in an Appendix to the Oxford Marbles; but its evident reference to the Greek Theatre, and the important evidence it affords, as to the proper application of the name Hellespont, has never been noticed. The date of it corresponds with the year 149 before the Christian era." In page 88, you mention a Mrs. Tootle as niece of the Earl of Kinsale.. I suspect the relationship and title are equally incorrect. Lord Kinsale's dignity is that of a Baron, and I never heard of his alliance to the Tootles-it is not at least mentioned in his printed S. H. C. pedigree. Mr. A gen' ral deluge had been poured out; Or could the skill of all the learned bave Prevail'd but to reprieve her from the 100grave, Mankind had ne'er permitted soe much od worthle (To theyre great loss) to vanish from waist the earth.

On the South wall of Atkins's Chapel is a mural monument, of the time of Elizabeth, to the memory of Chancellor Clerc, Eleanor his wife, and two children, represented in a kneeling posture. This monument having suffered dilapidation, the figure of the daughter is wanting: underneath are the following inscriptions: "Ingeniu', eloquin', doctrina, scientia, Sila ovirtus, Omoten Q Si vitam tribuunt, Clerce, perennis eris. Invida Mors habeat corpus, sed mente superstes Invisus nulli, Clerce, perennis eris Obiit Martii 12, ano ætatis suæ 52, 1589.' Under the Woman:PHO Casta, pia & prudens conjux, Elenoraj O, tali conjux quàm benè juneta viro! Consortes gemina Omnipotens vos prole beavit, za bayongnis Sit proles fælix, sit benedicta Deo.". marble monument in alto relievo, Against the North wall is a large with a long Latin inscription*, to "William Hewer, esq. of Clapham, 11. and Commissioner of the Navý Treasurer for Tanger to King Charles to James II. Born at London, Nov. 17, 1652, died Dec. 3, 1715, æt. 74." Two figures of boys, well executed, support a medallion portrait of the deceased, surmounted by an anchor. The family vault is in the North aile. On two marble tablets against the South wall of Atkins's chancel are the following inscriptions: "Near this place is buried the Body of Martin Lister, Doctor of Physick, a Member of the Royal Society, and one of t Queen Ann's Physicians, who departed this life the second day of February, 1711-12. "Hannah Lister, Died the 1st day of August 1695, in teares Migoldw for a most indulgent mother."ut In the Church-yard, and near the South-east corner of the church, is an altar-tomb, under which are deposited the remains of the Rev. Henry Venn, formerly Curate of Clapham, (and author of The Complete Duty of Man); his son the Rev. John Venn, late Rector of Clapham, who died *See it in Manning and Bray's Surrey, III. 365. in which valuable work will be found many other monumental inscriptions which were in this Old Church. It is to be hoped that the Brasses, and as many of the Monuments as possible, will be carefully set up in the new Chapel. [02: EDIT. July |
