A CORRESPONDENT observes, that the man who had bought a portion of the Crypt described in our present Number, p. 297, and destined for demolition, has had the zeal to cut a section across it, and clear out two of the principal pillars to their base; thus an excellent view of the whole style of the building is afforded to the architectural antiquary. Mr. FOSBROKE, in reply to J. I.'s remark, p. 197, observes, that he was perfectly aware of William Earl of Huntingdon having been previously called to Parliament as Lord William Clinton (sic in Rot. Parl.) to distinguish him from his brother John Lord Clinton; but that the Earl having been buried at Maxtoke, it was impossible that he could be the William Lord Clinton interred in the Priory at Sandwich. (See Hasted, iv. 280, ed. fol.) which last William was the first Lord so named of the parent baronial line still extant. Mr. F. has therefore committed no mistake whatever. He thanks J. I. for his gentlemanly courtesy in reference to the matter. Mr. F. thinks that the elucidation of the confusion between Reynold de Sandwich, and Reynold de Clinton, is as probable as it is ingenious, because in a laborious research of more than three hundred records and manuscripts in the public offices, British Museum, &c. Mr. F. could find no mention whatever of a Reynold de Clinton. H. PIDGEON says, that in the statement of the weights of several Church bells, p. 503, pt. ii. vol. xcix. there is an error in the weight of the tenor of St. Chad's at Shrewsbury, which in fact weighs upwards of 4600lbs. instead of 3400lbs. as there mentioned; so that it may be considered to rank as the sixth heaviest peal in the kingdom, instead of the thirteenth.. J. R. P. will find a memoir of William Loe, B.D. in Wood's Athenæ Oxonienses (by Bliss), vol. 1. col. 183; the title he has sent adds another to the list of Loe's publications, viz. "The Joy of Jerusalem; and Woe of the Worldlings. A Sermon preached at Paul's Crosse, the 18 of Ivne, 1609. By William Loe, Batcheler of Divinity." 12mo. In the account of the Almshouse at Mitcham, p. 201, we omitted to refer to the memoir of the father of the Foundress, in vol. xc. i. p. 567; and also to the representation of the elegant monument erected to the memory of her uncle, Dr. Benjamin Tate, in the Aute-Chapel of Magdalen College, Oxford, in vol. xcu. i. 133. G. H. W. doubts whether the writer of the article on the late Mrs. FitzGerald (p. 182) is correct, in calling Col. Richard FitzGerald "Right Hon." In the Kingston pedigree, &c. he is called Richard FitzGerald, esq. In the same article (page 183) the Very Rev. Peter Browne is erroneously stated to have been "half-brother to the late Marquess of Sligo." That nobleman had but one brother, the Right Hon. Denis Browne. If Dean Browne had been brother to the Marquess (by the father's side), he would have been "the Hon." and Very Rev. The family of Cassan sprung from France: the first of the name in Ireland was a French physician. : P. says, "It was about half a century ago that Dr. Bagot, Dean of Christ Church, in opposing the repeal of the Test Acts, invoked the shades of old Cranmer and Latimer in a most pathetic manner, amidst a full convocation, all uniting with him in sentiment, and sympathizing with him in feeling. In speaking of those venerable prelates, he quoted several lines from some recent collection of poems, of which I recollect only Cranmeri dia senectus, et Latimeri simplicis umbra. The object of my thus troubling you, is to ask, where those verses are to be found?" Á CORRESPONDENT inquires, respecting Ed. Steele, who made large topographical collections in Norfolk, Surrey, Bucks, Herts, &c. He made beautiful peu sketches of monumental figures circ. 1713. INVESTIGATOR wishes to be informed whether the surrender of the Priory of Armathwaite, Cumberland, is extant. It is not in the Augmentation Office, nor in the Chapter House of Westminster. He also will be glad to know if there is any other copy of Cromwell's Ecclesiastical Survey than the one in the library of Lambeth Palace. Henry Brightman, esq. of Bramcote, co. Nottingham, afterwards of St. Hellen's, Derby, buried in All Saints' chancel, Derby, June 6, 1701, married Margaret Littlejohn, granddaughter of David Lord Stormond, of Scoon, buried in All Saints' chancel, Derby, Jan. 24, 1696-7." David the fourth Viscount Stormont (who is probably here intended), according to Douglas's Peerage by Wood, had only two daughters, Catherine, married to William second Earl of Kintore, and Amelia, who died unmarried.-X, inquires for the intermediate descent between the Viscount and Mrs. Brightman. THE CLASSICAL JOURNAL has been recently terminated, after an honourable course of about twenty years. Long before the establishment of that Miscellany, the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE enjoyed the honour of enrolling amongst its Correspondents that giant in classical literature, the celebrated PORSON, who in 1788 and 1789, availed himself of this channel for the communication to the learned world of his Letters to Archdeacon Travis * on the famous text, 1 John v. 7.-Among a host of other classical and learned Correspondents, the names of the Rev. Samuel Badcock, Rev. W. Beloe, Bp. Bennet, Archdeacon Blackburne, Dr. Burney, Dr. Disney, Mr. Gough, Bp. Horsley, Dr. Loveday, Mr. Markland, Archdeacon Nares, Dr. Parr, Dr. Pegge, Sir W. Jones, Rev. Stephen Weston, and Mr. Wodhull, stand conspicuous. Since the establishment of the Classical Journal, however, the Gentleman's Magazine, though never wholly excluding such communications, had lost much of its ancient connexion with the learning of Greece and Rome: but, the Classical Journal having now ceased, the want of an arena in which classical contests may be regularly carried on, has induced the Editor of the Gentleman's Magazine to point out his pages as a proper channel through which Scholars may communicate with each other; and he doubts not, that the credit which the Magazine formerly enjoyed amongst Classical Scholars might easily be revived, could but this Work enjoy the auspicious countenance of the learned of the present day. The Editor has been encouraged thus to address his learned friends, by way of introduction to the communication of an old and valuable Correspondent, in the hope that others will follow his good example. 1. *See our volumes for 1788, 1789, and 1790; and particularly 1789, pp. 101, 690. + For a list of early Contributors, see Preface to vol. 111. of General Index, p. lxxiv. CLASSICAL MEMORANDA. No. I. THE THE Lexicon Homerico-Pindaricum of Dammius (Berlin, 1765) is most justly called by Heyne in his Preface to Pindar (1773) opus Herculei laboris; which abundantly proves that the general merits of the Lexicon were well known to that elegant and liberal-minded scholar. In vain, however, have I looked and inquired for any thing like a satisfactory account of the critical reception which the Lexicon has met with from the continental literati of that day or since that period. There are two volumes now before me (Utrecht and Leiden, 1805 and 1808,) containing Valckenaer's Observationes ad Origines Græcas with Lennep and Scheid de Analogia Lingua Græcæ, and Lennep's Etymologicum Linguæ Græcæ, edited by Scheid. These works, though connected by strong similitude (for good or for bad) of etymological prin |
