LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1913. CONTENTS.-No. 203. One of the MS. notes by Simpson states that Lady Falkland 66 was married in the summer of 1602. Chamberlain to Carleton, Oct. 2, 1602, p. 149, describes the crowded commencement at Oxford, where cut purses disburdened Sir R. Lea of two jewels of 200 marks, which he and his brother Sir Harry meant to have bestowed on the bride, Mr. Tanfield's daughter." As she was married at fifteen, that would put the date of her birth at 1587.

NOTES ON BOOKS:- Learned Societies and English The MS. notes in this volume are by my dear and lamented friend Richard Simpson, who made them while on a visit to me at Norwich shortly before his death. "The history of this volume is interesting. Simpson had a MS. of it (made by his own hand) lying by for some years, when a lady, whose name I forget, in very narrow circumstances, applied to him for assistance of any kind. I had not any money to give her,' he said. So I gave her the MS., and told her to try Dolman with it. I think she got 107.' (A. Jessopp.)" Was this lady the other editor to whom Simpson refers ? Who was she? Oldys supposes this to have been our Lady Cary's work; Brydges thinks it more probably belongs to Eliz., wife of Sir Geo. Cary, 2nd Lord Hunsdon, daughter of Sir J. Spencer of Althorpe ('Censura Literaria,' i. 153). "However, she was Lady Hunsdon in 1613. The dedication by a sister to the author herself is quite in accordance with the account [in the Life.] The second edition of England's Helicon,' 1614, was dedicated by the publisher to 'the truly virtuous and honourable lady, the lady Elizabeth Carye,' whose happy muse he com pliments (first edition, 1600). So also was John Davies's (of Hereford) 'The Muses Sacrifice; or divine meditations,' London, G. Norton, 1612, To the most noble and no less deservedly renowned Ladies, as well darlings as patronesses of the Muses, Lucy, Countess of and Elizabeth, Lady Cary, wife of Sir Henry Cary, Bedford, Mary, Countess Dowager of Pembroke, glories of women.' Here are Davies's verses :Cary, of whom Minerva stands in fear Lest she from her should get Art's regency, Of such a pupil, who in buskin fine If thus thou give thy works both birth and STATUES AND MEMORIALS IN THE BRITISH ISLES.

RELIGIOUS LEADERS: PREACHERS, DR. ISAAC WATTS. Southampton.-On 17 July, 1861, a statue of Dr. Watts was unveiled by the Earl of Shaftesbury in the public park. It is of Sicilian marble, the work of R. C. Lucas, and represents the doctor in the act of preaching, with open book in left hand, and right hand extended. On the granite pedestal, sculptured in relief, are represented incidents in which Dr. Watts appears as (1) a teacher of the young; (2) a philosopher, and (3) a poet. London. In 1845 an imposing memorial to Dr. Watts was erected in that part of Abney Park Cemetery known as Dr. Watts's Walk." It is constructed of Portland stone, and surmounted by a statue of Dr. Watts, sculptured by E. H. Baily, R.A. The pedestal is thus inscribed :In memory of Isaac Watts, D.D., and in testimony of the high and lasting esteem in which his character and writings are held in the great Christian community, by whom the English language is spoken. Of his psalms and hymns in his own words: Ages unborn will make his songs and died November 25th 1748, 66 "Few men have left behind such purity of character, or such | monuments of laborious piety. He has provided instruction | for all ages, from those who are lisping their first lessons to the enlightened readers of Malbranche and Locke; he has left neither corporeal nor spiritual nature unexamined; he has taught the art of reasoning, and the science of the stars. | Such he was, as every Christian church would rejoice to have adopted." | Dr. Johnson. Erected by public subscription September, 1845. Dr. Watts was buried in the northern portion of Bunhill Fields. His grave is marked by an altar-tomb. On each side his name appears in large deeply-cut letters, and the upper slab is thus inscribed: Isaac Watts, D.D., Pastor of a Church of Christ in London, Successor to the Rev. Mr. Joseph Caryle, Dr. John Owen, Mr. David Clarkson, and Dr. Isaac Chauncey, after Fifty Years of feeble Labours in the Gospel, interrupted by Four Years of tiresome sickness, was at last dismissed to rest November XXV., A.D.

In uno Jesu omnia. Within this Tomb are also deposited the remains of Sarah Brackstone, Sister to the Revd. Dr. Isaac Watts, Obiit 13th April, 1756. This Monument, on which the above modest | inscription is placed by order of the deceased. was erected as a small testimony of regard to his memory by St John Hartopp, Bart., & Dame Mary Abney, and replaced by a few of the persons who met for Worship where he so long laboured, and who still | venerate his Character, 1808. There is a bust of Dr. Watts, by Thos. Banks, R.A., in the south aisle of Westminster Abbey. Beneath it is a tablet depicting Dr. Watts in an attitude of deep contemplation. On the plinth is inscribed Isaac Watts, D.D. Born July 17, 1674 Died November 25, 1748. ROBERT HALL. Leicester.-In Jan., 1872, a white marblestatue of Robert Hall was erected by public subscription in De Montfort Square. It was formally presented to the Mayor of the town, Mr. John Stafford, by the ex-Mayor, Mr. J. Baines, Chairman of the Memorial Committee. The sculptor was Mr. John Birnie Philip, who has depicted Hall in the act of preaching, with right hand uplifted and left hand resting upon a book, between the leaves of which his forefinger is inserted. On the cylindrical pedestal is inscribed :— Robert Hall. 11 S. VIII. Nov. 15, 1913.] NOTES AND QUERIES. There are tablets to the memory of Robert Hall in Harvey Lane and Belvoir Street Baptist Chapels. Bristol.-Robert Hall died at Bristol in 1831, and was interred in the old Broad Mead Chapel graveyard, but in 1853 his remains were removed to Arnos Vale Cemetery. The grave lies to the west of the entrance gate, and is surmounted by a large altar-shaped This was erected by W. R. coped memorial. Warren (who married his eldest daughter, At the east end a Eliza) in March, 1854. bust of Robert Hall is carved in high relief, and the following inscriptions thereon refer to him: (S. cope) In this vault (N. side) In Robert Hall the highest powers of intellect and eloquence were concentrated, during a life of continued pain, to the glory of God in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The humility of his heart, the simplicity and benignity of his manner, were not less remarkable than the extraordinary strength and grandeur of his mind, and that sublime and hallowed oratory by which he was pre-eminently distinguished. He expired with the unfinished aspiration on his lips-" Come, Lord Jesus, come"There shall be no more pain." ,, T. G. (W. end) On a tablet in Broad Mead Chapel, amongst other inscriptions is recorded :— The Rev. Robert Hall, A.M. DR. CHALMERS. Edinburgh.-On 27 June, 1878, a bronze statue of the Rev.

In reference to the limited amount of friendship maintained with nations across the seas by each of the provinces, according to situation, Torna O Mac Cionare wrote :Each of the Irish provinces observed A strict alliance with the neighbouring nations. Coming to the present day, it is good to know that the central institutions are flourishing : : "Mr. Dowling, the Registrar of the Royal College of Science, records with pleasure that the CHRISTOPHER HAVILLAND AND HIS ANgreat majority of the Diploma students of the CESTRY.-Christopher Havilland (born c. College of the previous session have obtained 1512, buried 24 Jan., 1589) was Mayor of employment, or are engaged on research work." Poole 1569. The earliest record, so far as I am aware, bearing on Christopher Havilland's parentage is found in the Poole Parish Register, under 'Burials,' which states that on The progress made in technical education is remarkable. This activity is to be noticed especially in agricultural training. There are now 49,000 people receiving instruction. "People say that the face of the country has been changed, and many are inclined to attribute the transformation to the magic of ownership. Some allowance should be made for the magic of education." "Januarie 24, 1589, Mast Christopher Havilland, the Soñe of James Havilland, was buryed." The next record we find thirty-four years later in the Visitation of Gloucestershire taken in 1623, and signed by his grandson, The Freeman's Journal claims for the Robert Havilland of Hawkesbury, co. National Library that it "is probably one of the finest and most constantly used institutions of its kind in the world. The average daily attendance last year was 702. Many of these are serious students." The Library continues to grow, and its cataloguing of subjects proceeds rapidly towards perfection. The Librarian, Mr. T. W. Lyster, has achieved international fame for his knowledge and helpful courtesy. The great work of the year is the issue of a Bibliography of the Irish Language and Literature. It is an event in the history of the native language. Under Irish Banks is much that is curious. For a long time the business of banking in Ireland was entirely free and uncontrolled by the State. Any one was at liberty to issue not only bank notes, but also silver and copper coin. There was no bankruptcy law, and the Irish House of Commons itself supplied the need. The Bank of Ireland was established in 1783, its charter being almost identical with that of the Bank of England. There is a remarkable history of the first note issued at the Cork branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland on the 1st Gloucester, who was 13 years of age at the time of his grandfather's death. From the Visitation it appears that Christopher was the son of Jacobus" (in pencil in official record)" Havilland of the Isle of Guernsey." Accepting these two statements-and there is no reason to doubt them—we must conclude that Christopher Havilland was the son of a James Havilland, and that the latter was "of the Isle of Guernsey "—i.e., living there. The only known James at the time in Guernsey who could have been Christopher's father was James de Havilland of St. Martin's, Jurat from 1517 to 14 Oct., 1540, who married Colliche, daughter of Nicholas Fouaschin, Esq., Bailiff of Guernsey. This James was the son of Thomas de Havilland, Juré Justicier de la Cour Royale de Guernsey from 1474 to 1481, and grandson of Sieur Thomas de Havilland, who served with distinction at the recovery of Mont-Orgueil Castle in Jersey in 1471. In his Chronicle of the De Havillands' (published anonymously about_1860) the late John V. S. de Havilland, Esq. (York Herald in 1879), follows the pedigree as |
