A CLERGYMAN inquires, whether a Vicar can demand a fee from the Lay-Rector, on his putting up a tablet or other monument in the chancel. Does there being a door of entrance in the chancel, make any difference? A. P. remarks: To the very excellent and elaborate notices of the ancient family of Knapp, given in last month's Obituary, may be added the following :-Cotman, in his Suffolk Brasses, gives an etching from St. Peter's Church in Ipswich, with this inscription:- -"Here lyeth the body of John Knapp, March ã and Portman of this towne of Ipswich, who dyed ye second day of Maye, anno 1604, and had issue by Martha his wife 4 sones and 8 davghters." This gentleman bore the same arms and crest as those granted to the Sussex branch, in 1576. He resided at New Place in the Liberties of Ipswich; and Martha his wife was the only daughter of Richard Blois, of Grundisburgh Hall, in Suffolk, esq. by his second wife. Thomas Knapp, gent. probably their son, purchased the site and manor of the Knights Hospitalers at Battisford in Suffolk, of Sir Thomas, eldest son of Sir Robert Barker, K.B. of Grimston Hall, in Trimley St. Martin, Suffolk, by Susanna his second wife, daughter of Thomas Crofts, esq. of West Stow in the same county. Mr. Knapp became seated at Battisford, and married Penelope, daughter of Sir John Tasburgh, knt. of Flixton Hall, in the same county. In the manor house of St. John at Battisford, among other quarterings of arms in the windows of the parlour, were formerly those of Knapp, impaling Barker; and in one of the passage windows the same impaling Blois; and over the parlour chimney on the west side, was cut on stone St. John the Baptist's head, in a charger. A CORRESPONDENT inquires for information, relative to the descendants of Dr. Anthony Horneck. Was Captain Horneck, whose daughter married the caricaturist Bunbury, the grandson_or great-grandson of the Doctor? Dr. Horneck's daughter married Mr. Barnevelt, a descendant of the celebrated John Olden Barnevelt; and of this marriage, Robert Barnevelt, esq. ultimately became the sole surviving son. His daughter had issue by her husband, Richard Woolley, esq., and their descendants are located in the North. But what is particularly required, is information relative to the male descendants of any Dr. Horneck. The Bunbury family it is believed, are descended in the female line through Captain Horneck. At the sale of the property of the late Robert Barne velt, esq., towards the end of the last century, by his executors, there was a very fine portrait of Dr. Horneck. Is it known where it is now? Are any of the Doctor's papers in existence? or is there any other Life of Horneck, than that by Bishop Kidder? Owing to an accident, the concluding pages of the review of Mr. Herbert's volumes escaped correction; we beg the following misprints may be rectified: P. 132, l. 16, for sonnets of Ossian, read some parts; 7. 17, for Swabian, read iambics; 7. 35, for reflective, read Mr. Herbert's, 1. 36, for Pedentus, read Pedestres. ERRATA. Page 39, for Dupare, read Duparc.-P. 56, 1. penult. for cytography, read xylography.-P. 114, line 8, for Derbyshire, read Denbighshire. In recording the death of the late John Richard Barker, esq. in p. 218, his name was unfortunately misprinted Barber. At p. 137 note, erase the words "father-in-law of Marshal Marmont," whose wife was the daughter of M. Perregaux, the founder of Laffitte's Bank. At page 143, (2d col. line 9, of the note,) for "Pope," read "Lebrun," as the context clearly shows it should be. And at page 147, (first column, line 9, of the note), for συγγραφείς, read συγγραφείς. A few lines after, for Sinerer, read Sinner, and, in the opposite column, (line 4,) for xio, read xios."-Referring to page 137, where it is asserted, "that, in no other country could any thing similar to the professional gains of Sir Astley Cooper or Sir Samuel Romilly be realized, I find it necessary to produce an exception. The casual inspection of your Obituary for Sept. 1840, p. 334, which had previously escaped my notice, induces me to add, that Dr. Graefe of Berlin, who died at Hanover in the preceding June, "left the enormous sum of 3,600,000 Prussian dollars, equal to more than half a million sterling, which he amassed almost entirely by his honorable profession, having begun life with a fortune of between £8000 and £9000 only." If this statement be authentic, which I cannot ascertain, for the assertion is otherwise unsupported, this acquired professional fortune doubtless surpasses any medical profits known to us. Still, it is only an exception to the general fact, that the English fees exceed those of other countries. The sum in dollars may well be said to be equal to more than half a million sterling; for it amounts to £630,000, British. Some further particulars of so extraordinary a case would be desirable, such as his age, clients, general opportunities, &c. J. R. |
