Ancient Charters, Cartularies, &c. (ii.) Letters and Papers, supplementary to those noticed in the three previous volumes. (iii.) Books of Household and other Accounts. I. The first of these sections has been prepared by Mr. J. H. Round, who has prefixed to it some introductory remarks, and has also supplied occasional notes upon the charters and cartu- laries examined bj- him. II. The additional letters printed in the present volume include some correspondence relating to the English expedition against Scotland in 1549, when the second Earl of Rutland was Lord Warden of the East and Middle Marches. They further illustrate the difficulties caused by the employment of foreign mercenaries,^ and the desertions of the English troops, largely owing to their repugnance to the monotonous duty of garrisoning the small and insanitary forts of the time.^ The reins of government were being wrested out of the hands of Somerset,^ and in view of the social troubles during which his administration came to an end, it is not surprising to find that the Earl sufi^ered from in- sufficient supplies in men and money. He draws attention to iPp. 199, 200. C/. vol.i. p.xiii. ^ pp jgg^ 199 s Pp. 191, 193. VI his enoi-mous charges/ which cause him to regret sohciting a command, and he expresses his inabihty to continue the great drain upon his private resources.^ In a letter of 1590 the fifth Earl of Rutland, then an undergraduate at Cambridge, refers to the bad state of the roads between Belvoir and Cambridge, even in summer.^ There is another letter from Thomas Screvin, a trusted servant of the family, regarding the Earl of Essex's conspiracy in 1601,'' in which the fifth Earl was involved. An interesting paper, about 1620, draws attention to abuses in the church, and contains suggestions for their reform.*^ It states that the name of Puritan had become so odious that many persons simulated vice or superstition in order to avoid being called by this name. There are also some notes on legal abuses,^ in which, among other things, the great growth in counsels' fees and in the number of attorney's are animadverted upon.'' It states that within the memory of a man then living there were only three attorneys in Lincolnshire, against ten or twelve score at the time when these notes were drawn up.** There are several letters of Romish priests dealing with the negotiations with the Po^De prior to the projected Spanish match of Prince Charles, which illustrate the jealousy between the Benedictines and the Jesuits.'' In 16'2(), we have a letter from the Countess of Rutland describing the hostile feelings of the Parliament towards Buckingham,^" her husband's son-in-law. From the Civil Wars we have depositions, referred to in a previous volume, ^"^^ regarding the violent conduct of Sir Gervase Lucas, a former servant of the Earl, when he seized Belvoir Castle for the King.^^ There is some further correspondence regarding Lord Lexing- ton's diplomatic mission to the King of Denmark in 1693.^^ In 1706, a correspondent of the first Duke of Rutland, writing from Newmarket, rejoices that no Jacobite Lord was present at the race-meeting there." The list of Old Masters at Houghton in 1740 is worthy of note.^^ 1 Pp. 197, 201. 2 P. 201. » P. 208. ■< P. 210 6 p. 212. " Pp. 214-215. ' P 216. e //,;,/, " Pp. 218-220. " J? :i20.

Vll There is some military correspondence from America in 1763-6, some of which is addressed to the famous Marquis of Granby, then Commander-in-Chief of the British army.^ In one letter, an English ofKicer gives his impressions of his journey to West Florida.^ The volume includes two more letters of the younger Pitt, in one of which he acknowledges the Marquis of Granby's letter of condolence on his father's death ;^ an account of the bad state of the defences of Ply- mouth dockyard in 1779;* reports to the Duke of Eutland of the proceedings of the Lord George Gordon rioters in London; 5 and a letter of Sir Joshua Pieynolds, condoling with the Luke upon the death of his brother. Lord Robert Manners, who was killed in the sea fight off Dominica in 178'2, and who is described by Eeynolds as " the most promising youth in the whole navy."" A bill of this great artist for pictures painted by him for the Duke or sold to him is of interest.'' In this connexion the account of the acquisition of a painting by Gerard Dow for the Duke,^ and of the repairs of a Murillo^ may be mentioned. Finally, we may draw attention to the letters of Captain Molloy,^" who commanded the line-of-battleship Casav at the battle of the First of June, regarding the preparing and sailing of the fleet and of the delays that occurred in the granting of a court martial to enquire into his conduct at the battle, which Lord Howe had censured. III. The extracts from the Household Books, which include one belonging Sir Thomas Lovel, a prominent minister in the reigns of Henry VII. and his son, bear bul an infinitesimal proportion to the contents of the books themselves. The extracts illustrate the stately housekeeping of a wealthy, noble family in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and bring before us the great retinue of servants, many of them young men of good families, maintained by the Earls of Eutland. The Appendix contains an abstract of a book giving the names of those in the 1 Pp. 331-236. 2 P. 233. aPp. 238,a.39. * P. 239. = P. 243. « P. 244. ' P. '2in. " Pp. 240. 241.

The great number and variety of subjects of interest upon which light is thrown by the extracts from the household books render it imi^ossible to do more than draw attention to a few features in them. Local and family history, social customs, the manner of living, food, drink, the history of prices, trade, amusements, costume, and innumerable other subjects receive illustration from them. They contain many old terms, and are otherwise of philological value. Amusements are well represented, including bull-baiting,^ bear-baiting,^ dancing bears,^ cock-fighting,-' dog- fighting," juggling,'' billiards,^ and tilting.^ Gambling, generally for moderate stakes, frequently finds record in the payment of losses ; the winnings do not appear, except in the form of deduc- tions from money paid for losses. Horse racing and wagering upon it was in high favour, and there is much matter in the latter part of the seventeenth century that should be of value for the history of racing and of several famous race meetings. Earlier, there are payments to the boy-bishop,'-" to mummers,^^ for masques,^^ for Christmas plays,^^ and numerous gifts to minstrels and companies of players belonging to neighbouring noblemen, gentlemen and towns. In one case, the players come from so far as Wigan." Eoyal players are found among the recipients of the gifts of the Earls of Eutland.^^ A specially interesting entry records payments in 1613 to Shakespeare and Richard Burbage, the former receiving 44s. in gold for an "impreso" for the Earl, the latter a like amount for painting and making it.^" The payments occur among others for the preparations for a tournament which was held on the '24th of March,^'' and the "impreso" seems to have been a device and motto borne by the Earl.

IX occasion of another tournament, Burbage receiveH payment "for my Lorde's slielde and embleance."^ References to attendance at playhouses in London occur about the same time.^ The numerous payments for tobacco and pipes, ^ the price of the former sometimes running very high, show how widely spread the use of this narcotic was among the nobility, and how little effect King James's fulminations against its use had, even in Court circles. There are interesting details of the costs of travelling, and those relating to continental travel throw light upon the methods of raising money abroad and the costs of the conveyance of letters and parcels/ In 1670, tea was a necessary part of the Earl of Rutland's equip- ment foi' a journey in England.' The accounts contain some interesting payments for books, ^ principally during the time of the third Earl, who was described by Camden as " juris scientia et omni politiori eruditione ornatissimus," a character supported by the nature of the books bought by him. Randle Cotgrave is recorded to have received a gratuity from the next Earl for presenting him with a copy of his famous French Dictionary.'' There are numerous payments in connexion with the education of this Earl's son at the University Of Cambridge.'^ After the latter's succession to the title, we find him making a gift to a poor scholar of (xrantham "for his better furtherance to Cambridge ;"^ he bestows a gift upon a young gentleman towards his tutor's fees in the University;^" and he defrays the costs of burying a poor sizar, Avhose College debts he paid." This Earl died at Cambridge. The number of successful claimants upon the bounty of the Earls of Rutland is very great. Officers of the Court share in the receipt of gratuities, and such high officials as the Lord Chief Justice, the Lord Privy Seal, and judges receive yearly presents of plate. The Earls make presents on New Year's Day to the sovereigns, receiving in return gifts from the royal Jewel House, which by the time of James I. had become so fixed in value that we have entries of the payment by the Earl ip. 508. •'Pp.419, 461.

Some of the presents, such as buzzards,^ bustards,^ bitterns,^ sea-gulls,^ porpoises," and a dish of minnows' arrest the attention of the modern reader. Among the extracts are included a treatise, written in 1611, on the provisioning of the Earl of Kutland"s household, in which we find recorded the quantities and prices of the stores required, the places whence they were obtained, notes on the measures used, hints as to selecting and keeping them, and the like.^ The accounts include numerous payments to physicians and apothecaries for their fees, and a curious entry of- a payment to a " woman phisician at Bingham in the Vale."'' ^^'e find evidence of the persistency in the belief in the medical efficacy of precious stones in the payment in 1598 for two bezoar-stones,'" which were esteemed as preservatives against poison. The seventh Earl was somewhat more sceptical, for he buys two gray stones "whose virtue is to "cure the stone in the bladder or kidneys," on condition that he may return them after a twelve- months' trial and receive l)ack most of what he had paid for them." A new coach bought in 1598 was provided with a seat and a l^ed inside. ^^ A Sedan chair was used in 1641 to convey a dead body to Belvoir for burial. ^'^ The cost of the magnificent Eutland tombs in Bottesford Church are recorded in the accounts." In art we have several payments for portraits, ^° including one of the fifth Earl pre'sented to the notorious Mrs. Fitton.i" The artists named in connexion with portraits are Mr, Ptak," Paul A'ansomer,!^ William Larkins,''''Hosliins,''^*' Yandereyden,^^ and the celebrated mhiiaturist Hilliard or Hildyard.'-'^ There is also a reference to Inigo Jones as a "picture maker.

The passage of Charles L through Grantham in August, 1641, on his momentous journey to Scotland, finds record in the accounts. ^^ The extracts from the Household Accounts have been made by Sir H. j\[axwell Lyte and Mr. W.

THE MANUSCRIPTS OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RUTLAND, K.G. VOL. IV. CHAETEES, CAETUL ARIES, &c. So far back as 1869, Mr. Horwood drew up for the Commission a preliminary report on the contents of the muniment room at Belvoir Castle. It was restricted, however, to a single page, nor was the arrangement of the muniments at the time such as to admit of systematic examination. A very great improvement has now been effected. The gradual classification of the documents has resulted in restricting the contents of the room almost exclusively to muniments, comprising charters, deeds, cartularies, and court-rolls. With the exception of the court-rolls, which are now classified and arranged in drawers at the side of the room, the great majority of the muniments are still preserved in the numbered drawers described by Mr. Horwood as standing in the centre of the room ; but they have been sorted into separate packets, each of them labelled with the name of the place to which they relate and entered in the manuscript catalogue prepared by their late custodian, Mr. W. A. Carrington. Although several thousand documents have had to be thus dealt with, the whole, of this superb collection is now in perfect order, and the services rendered to the topographer and genealogist by Mr. Carrington's years of labour are very great. He had, I was informed, in addition to his work among the muniments at Belvoir, transcribed the whole of those which relate to Derby- shire and indexed their contents. As might be expected from the interesting fact that the historic estate of Belvoir has descended to its present owner from its Domesday tenant in cajntc, the collection is rich in early deeds; but the number of these is partly due to the circumstance that the Benedictine Priory, founded by the Domesday holder at the foot of the castle hill, was obtained at the Dissolution by his descendant the lord of Belvoir, who thus became possessed of the charters granted by his ancestors to that foundation. Although the early deeds relating to the possessions of this Priory and of the lords of Belvoir are of much importance for local history, Nichols, it is clear, had no access to them when he was writing 6802 A his history of Leicestershire. Francis Peck, a former antiquary- had made certain extracts from them, and Nichols was dependent on these alone. Another great division of the Duke's muniments relates to his Derbyshire estates, inherited from the Vernons of Haddon, of whom, as is well known, his Grace is a representative. These are unfortunately divided at present, some being preserved at Haddon Hall, to which place they were transferred in 1833, while the rest are at Belvoir. Here again, as in Leicestershire, the bulk of the family documents is swollen by monastic charters, those of Darley Abbey being early and of some importance. No charters of this abbey are mentioned in the Monasticon as at Belvoir. The remainder of the muniments dealt with in this report can only be described as miscellaneous. They relate to a singular variety of districts, ranging, as they do, from Norfolk to Somerset, and from Northumberland to the Isle of Wight. In dealing with so vast a mass of material, it has only l)een possible to make a selection and to notice those documents which appeared to be of special interest to the historian, the topographer, and the genealogist. Special attention has been paid to twelfth century charters, in which this great collection is remarkably rich. Henry I, Stephen, Henry II, Eichard I, and John are all represented here by original charters. It also contains private charters of the first half of the l'2th century. The early date of some of these documents has, it may incidentally be observed, been somewhat obscured hitherto owing to their having been assigned to the 13th century. The exceedingly fine charter of Henry II confirming an exchange of lands in Normandy and in Berkshire was labelled and catalogued, I observed, as a charter of Henry III, and the documents connected with it similarly misdated in consequence, while a charter of Hugh, earl of Norfolk, which is certainly not later than 1175, was tentatively assigned to the reign of John. It has been endeavoured, in this report, to date, as far as possible, the early documents dealt with and to identify the places to which they relate. In exceptional cases, also, notes have been added referring to other documents with which they are closely connected, and which are helpful to their comprehension. I have deemed it desirable to divide into groups the documents with which I have dealt, arranging each group in roughly chrono- logical order. The luimber prefixed to any document is that of the drawer to which it belongs ; the Iiitcr indicates that, when I examined it, it was deposited in a certain receptacle. These receptacles I have distinguished as follows : — (a) Exhibition case in muniment room. (b) Drawer of the above case. (c) Exhibition case in library. (d) Box shown to me as under the charge of Mr. Carrington. (b) Box in the personal custody of his Grace the Duke of Eutland. The deeds at Haddon, which were examined by me separately, are distinguished by an asterisk ^,ir added to the number of the drawer at Belvoir to which they properly belonged. A few words of introduction are prefixed to each group, but attention may be specially drawn here to the occurrence of a ' Master J. Grim ' as master of the schools of Oxford in 1200, he being so styled by the Pope and named in conjunction with the priors of St. Frideswide's and Osney. This is an earher name of a bearer of that important ofifice than any yet discovered. The seals with which this collection abounds have been duly noted where they are of interest, especially where they bear coat's of arms. It is only right to mention that Mr. W. A. Carrington, to whose valuable services I have referred above, came from Derbyshire to Belvoir to meet me, and rendered me every assistance in my examination of the muniments. J. H. EOUND. LEICESTERSIIIUE CHARTERS. [1. Eastwbll Chartbes.J The following charters are an important addition to the accounts of Eastwell and Eaton, Leicestershire, given by Nichols, to whom they were quite unknown. The appearance of an earl of Norfolk as confirming a gift by an earl of Albemarle in Leicester- shire is, at first sight, difficult to account for ; but the explanation is this. The four carucates at Eastwell, dealt with in these charters, were held under Henry I by Robert de Insula, with lands in the adjoining parishes of Eaton and Branston.--' His lands appear under Henry II, as " Honor Albrede de Insula," of which the caimt was, probably, at Settrington. This Honour was held in 1166 by Hugh, earl of Norfolk, under whom the earl of Albemarle held five of its fees. (16) [Hen.

The group of charters relating to Lubbesthorpe is noted because their evidence is not in accordance with the account given by Nichols (iv, 37-8). Another group relates to Muston and the families of Colville and Charnels connected therewith. It is an interesting feature of these Leicestershire charters that several of the names which occur in them are those of knights and Serjeants who were in Belvoir Castle when it was surrendered to King John in 1215. t (84) [?12"' Cent.] — Quitclaim by Roger de Mumbray [Mowbray] to Richard son of John of a messuage in front of the * On tags of green and white silk cord. f Calendariumrotulorumpatentiuml(\),^. 162. 8 door of the church of Sadmgthona* towards the north, as Richard's hereditary right, in which he (himself) has no right William has, for this, given him 6 shillings in the presence of his whole com-t of Saddingtona, as the land is held of his fee.

(Vol. II., part 1, p. 286). But Aldulf was not lord of Muston. His land was at South Croxton (Vol. Ill, part 1. p. 231). to which (and not to Muston) this charter relates. Hugh de Charnellis, who was chief of the knights at Belvoir Castle when it surrendered in 1215, was a party to a line for 'ih carucates here in 14 John. His mother was Margery de Hotot.

After an abstract had been made of the cartulary of Belvoir Priory (which the Duke kindly allowed to be deposited at the Record Office for that purpose), it was found that the muniment room at Belvoir contained the originals of several of the documents entered in that volume. Some of the earlier and more important of these have been selected for special treatment ; others have been collated with the transcripts of them in the cartulary and the additional witnesses they supply have been duly noted. The first fourteen of the documents below belong to the 12th century, and it may safely be said that none of them is later than the reign of Henry II. There are several others of the same period relating to the priory, and attention may be specially drawn to the double charter described on p. 130 below. These documents are followed by a few of later date including a curious deposition, in English, by a monk of the house, after its dissolution, throwing light on its condition in its last days. 29 Aug.

Belvoir Priory was founded, as a cell of St. Alban's Abbey, by Robert de'Todeni' (i.e. Tosny) the Domesday lord of Belvoir, who held lands, as a tenant-in-chief, in eleven English counties. At the Dissolution its possessions passed to the founder's descendant, the earl of Eutland, ancestor of His Grace the Duke of Rutland, to whom the cartulary now belongs. It has therefore always been in proper custody. The volume is one of exceptional size, the folios measuring 19 ins. by 14 ins. The original portion consists of a hundred folios, and was written, apparently, in the time of Henry IV., but in imitation of an antique hand. It is probable that the scribe found himself, at times, unable to read the documents before him, as he makes some unintelligible mistakes in letters, and even in words, going so far, in one instance, as to read "Andreas" for "auditis." He also, as was occasionally done, extended " T[heobaldus] " wrongly as "Thomas." The most important, historically, of these documents is that which brings together John of Salisbury and Henry of Hunting- don the historian, at a date which, from the abbot of Peterborough's name, cannot be placed earlier than 1155, while from that of Henry it can scarcely be later. Evidence, at this period, of the presence of John of Salisbury is of value for its bearing on his movements in connection with Adrian's Bull. * Apparently a misscript for consent. f There is no signature. } The tab is twisted tightly and has a email slit in it. 106 But the chief interest of the cartulary is found in its solution of a great problem in Anglo-Norman genealogy. It has been accepted as a fact no less by modern writers''* than by the older antiquaries, such as Dugdalef and Nichols,t that William " de Albini Brito," lord of Belvoir, was the eldest son and successor of Kobert "de Todeni." It is proved beyond question by the documents in this cartulary that he was, on the con- trary, the husband of Cecily " de Belvoir," a granddaughter of Robert " de Todeni," whose mother obtained Belvoir in or before 1129. The chart pedigree subjoined will make the matter clear, and will show how almost inconceivably erroneous is that which is given by Dugdale and Nichols. The fundamental error was their confusion of William de " Todeni," son of the founder, with William " de Albini Brito," who married his niece, and who was thus distinguished as taking his name from a Breton Aubigny, while William " de Albini Pincerna," founder of the earls of Arundel, derived from the Cotentin. The responsibility, however, for the further error of making Cecily the wife of her son lies with the monks themselves. § The fact that Maud de " Sancto Licio" and her brother-in-law Robert de " Totenia " adopted respectively the maiden names of their mother and grandmother, should be specially observed, for, in both cases, it utterly misled Dugdale and those who have followed him.|| Nor, indeed, is the existence of such a practice widely known. The following brief j)edigree is essential for the comprehension of the documents : — Bobert de " Todeni." = Adelais. Founder of Belvoir Priory. J iSerenge 1 1 r. William Geoffrey. i Adeliz 1 Agnes (Domesday de "Todeni" mar. Roger mar. 1, 1.59.291b. succeeded Bigot Hubert 314, 353b;. his father (Domesday 11, de Rye, at Belvoir. 87b. 173, 330b). 1 She obtained " 1 Belvoir. 1 Henry de Eye. William de " Albini " Brito = 1 Cecily "de Belvoir." {alia. '■ senior," alias "primus.") Maud = - William Eobert Koger Ralf. de " Sancto de 'Albini " " de Totenia." Licio," dau. Brito {aliax of Robert secundus, alias fitz Eichard junior). Succeeded (de Clare) to Belvoir. Sent by Maud de in his carta Senlis 1166. Died ( 'Sancto (later) in 1166. Licio"). ^ / * For instnnce, Mr. A. S. Ellis ; " Domesday tenants of Glouoestershire " {Briatul and Glouc. Arch. Trans. Yo\.iy.) ; 'Landholders of Yorkshire, 1086 " (Yorkshire Arch. Jcntrn.). t Baronutje I. llli. { History of Leicestersliire II (I), p. 27. § Moimsiicon III, 289. || See Feudal England, pp. 474-6, 575. 107 But although the pedigree is thus estabhshecl, and the descent of the Duke of Eutland from the Domesday holder of Belvoir proved in an unbroken line, the history of the fief under Henry I. is by no means clear. The " Leicestershire Survey," published by the writer,* proves that William " de Albini Brito " was in possession before (apparently) the wife of Koger Bigot obtained Belvoir. i But it may, perhaps, be inferred from that survey that a large part of " the fee of Belvoir " was then in the king's hands, while part had been bestowed on William. It is clear, in any case, from these charters that Cecily had rights of her own, through her mother, apart from hLr husband. Attention may also be drawn to the charters of the earl of Chester, implying, as they do, his possession of the fief in Stephen's time. It has been shown by the writer, | from other evidence, that the earl was actually granted the fief, and that Belvoir was, for him, a point of strategical importance. These charters connect him with the fief before the death of the bishop of Lincoln in 1147. It will be found that several of the names occurring in these charters are of a Breton character, which points to William de Albini "Brito" being accompanied, like Alan Fitz Flaald, by some of his fellow-countrymen when he settled in England. Among these were his relatives Iwen and Helias ' de Albini,' and Iwen's brother, Geoffrey de Chauenni, which last name is here disguised under a great variety of forms. It was probably derived from Chauvigne (canton d'Antrain), some ten miles N.E. of Aubigne (canton de St. Aubin d'Aubigne) in the Depart- ment of Ille-et-Vilaine. The origin of the house feudally known as ' Albini Brito ' would seem to be thus determined. The fact that Nichols, the historian of Leicestershire, who dealt so fully with Belvoir, was wholly at sea on the pedigree of its Norman lords would suffice of itself to show that he was not acquainted with this volume. As a matter of fact, he was dependent here, as for Croxton Abbey, on second-hand information, namely the collections of Mr. Peck, now in the British Museum, and some transcripts made by Dr. Vernon. The references to his pages in this report relate to his appendix on Belvoir Priory printed at the close of his "Framland" volume.§ • fo. 1. — Agreement between Paul abbot ^of St. Alban's and Robert de Pulchro Visu [Belvoir] for the foundation of Belvoir Priory as a c.ell of St. Alban's.

A Eental in a totally different hand and appearing to have formed originally a separate fasciculus. It presents no features of interest, being barely a bare list of tenants and their rents. Under Croxton [fo. 46rf] there is incidental mention of an altar of St. Guthlac in the abbey. A blank on fo. 57d is utilised by the entry of a manumission, by William abbot of Croxton, of Thomas son of John P»andolf of Branston the elder, otherwise called John Dawson of Waltham, and of William his brother, Sunday after St. Thomas the Martyr, 10 Henry IV. There are later notes also on fo. 59. fo. 61-83. These 23 folios have similarly been a separate fasciculus.

Eental of lands newly acquired in the time of abbot Atterclyff, made 20 March, 15 Henry VIII. [1524] . The Eoll. The contents of this roll are largely identical with the relative entries in the smaller cartulary. Thus fo. &ld of the latter and the first line of the roll begin " Memorandum quod dominus de A''erdon," and continue identical through Humberston, Sharn- ford, and Skeffington, though only some of the matter in the cartulary is reproduced on the roll. The latter then proceeds similarly with Hose, South Croxton, Panton, Sproxton, Eyton, Eastwell, Statherne, Plungar and Barkstone, Long Clawson and 'Eoppele', Barrowby (' Bergeby '), Broughton, Waltham, Bran- tiston. Salt by and Bescoby, Stapleford, Croxton (Kyrial).'* Of the information in the roll supplementing that in the small cartulary it may be noted that " in Eastwell and Suaniton and Eaton " there were six carucates ' of the fee of Arraby,' constitu- ting half a knight's fee, and that in Plungar and Barkeston there were 7 carucates and one virgate constituting one fee. Under these latter places the following pedigree is given : — _ (1; Ealf Croft = C^) Juliane I of Plun^iir I John le = Maud 1 Affnes 1 Ellen 1 Iveta = Eoger Palmer | Wade Hugh de Soaudeford. * Of these places, South Croxton, Panton, Eastwell, Statherne, Plungar and Barkston, Bai-rowby and Stapleford are not found in the small cartulary. 182 Barrowby is entered as 16 carueates and 16 bovates ' of the Honour of' Eye,' constituting one fee. There are entries in several places of the jDayments due for sherifi''s aid and for castle-ward to Belvoir. On the dorse of this roll are entered notes of charters relating to Humberston, Saxilby, Leicester, Sproxton, Enderby, Med- bourne, Leicester, Castingthorp, Denton, Scaldwell, Long Clawson, and Gergrave. Of these the most important by far is a Leicester charter to which " Peter son of Eoger, alderman of Leicester," is a witness, for this Peter is the first known mayor of the town, and is so styled in a charter of 1251-2. The previous title of the ruler of the town appears to have been " Alderman of Leicester,'"'' but this document seems to be the first in which Peter son of Eoger is found bearing that title. Several of the other documents are charters of manumission, in which the expression for manumitting is " libertati donasse," and the reserved payment is that of a pound or half a pound of incense at the altar within the quinzaine of St. Botolph, but in one it is sixpence or a pound of wax on the feast of SS. Philip and James, while in the case of an Enderby neif given by Oliver de Aubeney as a bequest with his body (for burial), the convent, at Oliver's prayer, manumitted him for ten shillings a year. At the foot of these notes of charters is written in another hand the well-known glossary of terms beginning " M [on] de- briche hoc est Trespas vers seignur." This version is one of those which ends with the word " Them," and it omits Miskenning. Although it appears to be distinct from other known versions, it displays a close affinity to that in Harl. MS. 1005 and especially to its interlineations. + By the side of this glossary is transcribed, in yet another hand, the bull of Innocent (IV.) dated at Lyons 2 kal. June in his 7th year (1250) in favour of the Order of Premontre, with a note that it was at Newhouse (the first house of the order in England). PEDIGREES.

London.—"! wrote unto you lately, which letter I hope came safely to you on Sonday or Monday last. Therin I gave you such 'comfortable newes touching my Lord, as the tyme afforded. Her Majesty is a prince both of justice and mercy, and in this case of my Lord's hath hitherto pleased to leave her course of justice, and to show her mercy, which is most glorious and doth shyne in her. To her, therefore, next under God must all be attributed, for by her ynfynite mercy, his lief, his blood, his dignitie and all is lyke to be preserved safe, and so your noble howse kept from stayne. I may not wryte, but I will one day tell you (by God's grace) how much your whole blode and name is bound to Mr. Secretary Cecill for his honor- able love and care showed in this buisines for my Lord. Onely thus much; he hath well declared the love he hath borne to your howse, and by his helpe, you do all receave comfort. The ende wil be thus, his Lordship must show a duety and thankefulnes and pay somwhat for his fault by way of fyne to her Majesty ; what that wil be is yet unknown, but whatever yt be, yt is a happines that he so escapes all further daunger. " I sent lately letters from the Lords of the Counsel to the sheriffes of the counties of York, Lincoln, Leicester and Notting- ham, wherin their Lordships required the said severall sheriffes to suffer and permyt my Lord's officers and servaunts to proceede in his revenues and all other his Lordship's services in their woanted courses, which gave great hope of more grace comyng, and may assure you that all shal be safe by her Majesty's mercy. "Eare long I trust I shal be hable to wryte more to you, which I will not faill to do, as occasion shall offer. Meane tyme thus much more. Your two nephewes, Mr. Francis and Sir George Manners, arre now bothe set at lyberty, and never were yndighted. They go abroade yet upon-bonde to appeare on the first day of the next terme before the Lords, but before that day I hope of farther grace for them. Meane tyme the one remaynes at Endefeild with your honourable brother, and Sir George goeth here at London and thither at his pleasure, for his fault was the lesse, and therfore his bond not so straight as the other. Your honorable brother hath much [grieved] at this accident, and with great care and love to my Lord and his howse, hath used all his credyte, which hath appeared great, and tried all his friends. Wherof he hath founde good store, and to speak truely, no one enemy. Thus I have trobled you with my long sci'ib- ling, but I beseach your pardon for yt." Seal of anus.

Cojii/. Concerning the Church. [About 1620?] — Many laws have been made against the breach of the second table of the Decalogue, but it would be well for there to be some stricter laws for enjoining obedience to the first table and for punishing the contemners thereof. No Christians dare profess the worship of more gods than one, yet many worship the true God in a false manner, as in bowing down to images, worshipping "the Antichristian beast, com- mitting spirituall fornication with the whore of Babilon," and obeying his {me) superstitious traditions and decrees more than the word and commandment of God. For the punishment whereof it were well that some sharper laws were made and the present ones put in execution. The want of worthy and sufficient ministers in parishes is the cause of increasing ignorance, superstition and atheism, which want is occasioned partly by the covetousness of patrons and resignators of benefices, who prefer or bring in such as will give most, and partly by the ambition and greediness of many ministers, whose aim is not to feed but to fleece their flocks ; pretending the plurality of benefices to be allowable for advance- ment of learning, whereas there are more profitable dignities in the church than in any other profession, sufticient to give encouragement to all students therein. Divers persons, by having their friends to give monej', or by murryins' women who 213 have presentations, &e., are unworthily thrust into church Kvings, and it would be well to have a law made that the patron or resignator, as well as the incumbent, might be sworn that he had taken no consideration for his presentation. " And further, seeing that it is a sufficient busines for one man to attend one flock, whose dutye consisteth not (as some imagine) only in preaching once every Sunday (though many parishes scarce get one sermon in a yeere), but likewise in visiting the sick, comforting the distressed, resolving and instructing the doubtfuU and unlearned by conference, admonishing the dis- orderly, reconciling those that be at variance, releiving the poore, winning credit to his person and doctrine by hospitallity and good example, none of which can be performed by him that dwelleth out of the parish : therefore it would make a flourishing church and common wealth if in every severall parish (having a competent living) there were a worthie man placed, and where there is not such competency, that there were some course taken that it were supplied." And seeing that tithes were the ordinary maintenance of the ministry in this realm " untill by the erection of religious bowses they were by the Pope to them appropriated," and so the parishes were deprived of their proper maintenance for their minister, it were to be wished that they were restored to their first institution, and (that it might not be prejudicial to the purchasers and owners of them, though they have reason to endure more loss than others that have never meddled with them), the equallest way might be " that the whole Common- wealth did buj'e all impropriations to the use of the Church by means of some generall taxes and subsidies," out of which the owners might be paid at the rate of eight or ten years' purchase. Also it is to be wished that a law were made by which the penalties for swearing . would be as great (if not greater) than that for drunkenness ; that (seeing how many excuse their absence from church by fear of arrest), it might be lawful for all persons (not in prison) to go to the church every Sunday without danger of arrest ; and that some stricter laws were ordained for the due observance of the sabbath day. And seeing that "the imputation of the name of a puritan is now growne so odious and reproachfull that many men for feare thereof are rather willing to be thought to favour some vice or superstition than to undergoe the scandall of that name ; and seeing many (who both do approve and are verie desirous to obey his Majestie's lawes and government, as well ecclesiasticall as teniporall), yet only for absteyning from or not approving grosse vices or profanenes, or for due frequenting publique exercises of religion or practising the private duties thereof in their owne familyes, are branded with that opprobrious name, ... it were to be wished that it were more certainly and precisely deter- mined who did worthily deserve that name, to the end that such as be culpable thereof may be punished, and such as be unjustly charged therewith may be vindicated from the same by some punishment to be inflicted upon their calumniators." 214 Sir Thomas Dallison. [1621.**] — Sir Thomas Dallison's reasons against a bill ex- hibited by Thomas Horsman, for confirmation of a rent charge of lOOZ. per annum, alleged to be granted by Sir Roger Dallison out of the manor of Laughton, in the county of Lincoln. The said manor was entailed by Sir Roger, therefore, by his death, the rent is determined ; and Sir Thomas, his son and heir, ■was not a party to the grant, or to any consideration paid for it. Also, all Sir Roger's lands are now extended for the King's debt, being above 9,000Z., and defendant is thereby kept out of possession, wherefore it is not reasonable that he should pay any such rent. Horsman first exhibited his bill in the Starchamber, "suppos- ing " the bill of entail to be fraudulent and contrived by Sir Roger and Sir Thomas to deceive him (all which defendant denies upon oath) ; and now has exhibited his bill in Parliament, " for this defendant's dubble vexation." Lastly, there are many other creditors of Sir Roger's estate, with whom, in reason, Mr. Horsman should take his share, and Sir Roger's lady has right of dower upon the lands charged. Wherefore Sir Thomas prays the honourable house that the bill may be stayed. Endorsed by Sir George Manners, " Sir Thomas Dallington's reasons." Reform of the Law.! [1621.J — " Matters needful to be reformed in course of law." Trifling suits to be suppressed by making the costs no greater than the damages ; no demurrer to be allowed to stay judgment unless expressly set down, nor any judgment to be stayed after verdict "for variances in the process after issue joined," and no advantage to be taken after verdict which might have been alleged before. A note to be taken " how many attorneys towardes the law be in everie countie, and to reduce the same to such competent number as were sixty yeres since or longer agone. For the greatest oppression by suits in the kingdome is by the multitude of attorneyes, which inconvenience was long since found to be in Norwich, Norfolke and Suffolke, and intended to have beene redressed by the statute of 83 Hen. 6, cap. 7, but the judges neglected to put the same in execution, and still allow without limitation of number. Therefore the law shold be made very penall upon any that shold practise as an attorney, there being such full number in any countie as the law shold thinke fitt, and * Horsman'a bill was read on March 13. 1620-21 , and reported on May 16 followino- (see Commons- Journals nnder these dates). Sir Roger Dallison died before Nov 1620 (see Cal. S. P. Dom. 1619-23, p. 192). t Notes probably drawn up by Sir George Manners in the spring of 1021, when the question of Law Reform was before Parliament. On April 17, Sir George was put upon a committee to enquire into the subject of bribery, &o., in courts of justice. 215 such a law to take effect after such time as so many of them as be now attorneyes shold dye, as there shold but that number remaine, and that the Judges in the meane time shold admitt no moe atturneyes." No attorney to prosecute any action without he first receive money from his client. No greater or other fees to be taken in any court at Westminster or at the assizes than were usual and lawful in 20 Elizabeth ; and in Ecclesiastical Courts the fees to be those of which a certificate was made in Archbishop Whitgift's time. The time of a suit to be limited to one year. Administrators to be limited as executors are, and the goods in their hands not to be at the disposal of the ofiicers granting the administration," which giveth opportunitie of much oppression and briberie." And writs of Justices in County Courts to be limited to debts not exceeding 51., for only the under-sheriff or clerk of the court sits there, " who, for the most parte, hath no judgment to deter- mine in greater causes." It was enacted in 14 Ed. 3 that at every Parliament there should be chosen a prelate, two Earls, and two Barons, to hear complaints of suitors in the courts of Westminster, which might very well be a precedent for a like commission now. FuETHEE Notes on Law Ebfoem. [1621.J — Starchamber. Notice of the day of hearing to be given to all defendants, and a certain day, if needed, appointed for a further hearing, to prevent the intolerable charges of wait- ing in London to those who dwell far remote. If the cause fail a second time to be heard, defendants to be dismissed with costs, and all defendants not censured to have their costs and charges paid by the plaintiff. Chancery. A cause being heard and judged, the decree not to be reversed; no cause to be entertained after judgment at common law, and no defendant to be proceeded against after he be dismissed, without a new subpoena. In both Starchamber and Chancery, every defendant to have twenty days' warning before the cause is heard, no cause to be continued above one year, nor any to be entertained without a Serjeant's hand to the Bill. No officer to take above fourpence for the drawing and copying of each sheet of paper, every sheet to contain twenty lines, and the officers to deliver such copies to the subject in convenient time. Assizes. No cause to be brought to trial at any Assizes unless above the value of forty shillings ; the clerk to take but twelve pence for the copy of an indictment, which is usually not above six lines, nor demand any gain for a presentment preferred by the petty constable, " unles the great Inquest do first find it; " moderate fees to be set down for the trial of every nisi prius, and every cause in Common law to be begun and ended in one year. 216 Lawyers. " Serjeants and counsaillors at lawe looke but poorely uppon their clients unles they give them greater fees then many of them are able ; and the great fees which usually they take is noted to be the cause why soe many lawyers are and daylie encrease." It is said that in former times the fee of a Serjeant was but 6s. 8d., and a counsellor's fee less, bat now one suit " is sufficient to breake the backe of any reasonable man of wealth," and causeth many a poor subject to be unable to do his prince service. Attorneys. "The multiplicitie of atturneys is noted to be a great cause of stirring uppe of many wrangling sutes of _ small moment. It is reported for certaine that when Mr. Eichard Smith was first an atturney in Lincolnshire, whoe is still living, there was but three atturneys more besides himselfe for all that shire, and now there are noted to be ten or twelve score." Innkeepers now buy oats at vjs. viijd. the quarter and sell them at four nobles ; and buy hay at xs. the load and sell it for i-ijL, whereas iijs. ivd. gain for each quarter or load " were sifficient towardes the findinge strawe for the subjectes horse." Sir John Bcnnet '■' " The Bishoppes officers in everie dioces are lymitted by statute what to take for probates of wills and administrations, and the subject is put to little charge, and are well pleased with the fees. But if any man dye having debts due unto him by men living out of the dioces ... or in his life time lent the King money uppon a privie seall, Sir John Bennet, in that regard and noe other, forceth the subjecte to prove the will or take administration, which manie times standes the subjecte to about ten pounds in charges and above, which, if it were done by the Bishoppes officers, it would cost in all but five shillings ; and the subject besides thinketh that if the King did knowe this grievance, that the said Sir John Bennet should thus punish them for lending the King money, that a greater jDunishment would be inflicted upon Sir John Bennet. . . . Very lately a proctor in the cause saith that two, three or foure hundreth pounds hath been spent about proving of Mr. Eobert Grantham's will, whoe died in Lincoln now verie lately, which, if it had be [en] done by the Bishoppes officers at Lincoln, it would have cost a verie little trifle. " About the granting th' administration of Dr. Clayton's goodes, it is said there was a great somme of money paid to Sir John Bennet. Many poore crieing widdowes and others doe much complayne of him for their unjust vexations. He sends men of meane condition and of noe credit or worth with generall com- missions, giving them power thereby to call whom they list before him, and if there be no cause yet they must goe uppe and give oath with great charge and trouble before they can be discharged. . . . This great burthen hath beene ever since Sir John Bennet hath beene Judge of that court, and little cause of * In April, 1621, Sir John Bonnet; was complained against for nial-administration of his office of Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and he was impeached on the 3'Jth of May. 217 complaint hath beene before his time. His officers letteth not to report that the Bishoppes officers of everie dioces are lymitted by statute what fees to take, but the Archbishoppes officers are not, he being officer to the Archbishopp. " Sir John Bennet did adjudge tlie executors of the said Mr. Robert Grantham's will to pay to one Walker, his officer, foure score poundes or more, as it is crediblie reported, for his paines in examining the wittnesses touching that will, which paines would have beene taken and the busines by another as Avell done for ten pounds ; and this will a proctor used in that cause affirm. Sir Thomas Grantham, one of the knights of the shire for Lincoln, and one of th'executors of the same will, paid th'one halfe thereof, and Mr. Cracroft, his co-executor, paid th'other halfe." Higliimies. " From Piskerton to Horncastle, being a high rode from Lincoln, being verie cruell ill way, and from the west end of Langworth Lane to Wragbie towne, being a high passage and not passable by reason of the deep myrie way, and from Donholme to Faldingworth, the way leading to Market Eaisine in like manner.

Petition of Anne Batbman, alias Wingfield, to the House of Commons. [1621 ?J — Complains that although, upon Lord Eoos's death, she obtained an order from the Council of the North, dated July 10, IGl 9, establishing her in her farm of Seaton Rosse, CO. York, until the title was further tried, yet in the following September (Lord Scroope being then newly made Lord President of the North), one Sir Peter Chapman contrived by indirect means and bribes given to Wetherell, his Lordship's secretary, and Gabriel, the said Wetherell's man, to have the former order dissolved, and another made in his favour ; and to give a better colour to his proceedings, he has by like means procured an injunc- tion in the Court of Chancery, before the Master of the Rolls, for possession of the farm. Petitioner, being thus dispossessed, exhibited a bill in the Court of Star Chamber, but Chapman obtained an order upon a private petition to the Lord Chancellor, and thereby dismissed her bill. She then preferred three several petitions to his Majesty, but "in regard these same concerned the calling into question persons of greatnes and abuses in courts," she could get no answer, although she attended about a year for the same.

Whereas it is alleged that he obtained a lease of lands from his father at a rent of 1,400/., "the same being worth in truth 4,000/.," he can show by the rentals that the rents at that time were not 1,300/. 2. He has not refused to pay rent, but when he has several times tendered it, his father would not take it. 3. He believes that the bill in Chancery against him was exhibited by Dame Mary, his father's wife, without his father's privity; for when a bill was "heretofore" drawn up, his father refused to exhibit it, saying " he would have a care of his children." • Bishop Smith's Catalogue of Elizabethan Martyrs, begun in the spring of 1626. Richard Beck is perhaps John Fisher, alias Percy, who lived at Lady Dormer's and was " chiefly employed " by the Bishop in London. t The petition was presented to the House on May 15, 1626 (see Lords' Journals iii. 609), and Sir Francis died that same year. 222 4. He claimed the privilege of Parliament only that he might go down to see his father, in order to seek to avoid unnatural suits ; but he was kept out by force by Dame Mary until his father was dead, whose death has now determined the Chancery suit. 5. He is said to have left his father in distress and without means of livelihood, whereas his father has received from him 30,000L in money, and had at the time of his death 600/. per annum in land, besides personal estate. That his father's revenues exceeded his expences is shown by his will, wherein he demises to his wife and her son a great estate, not so much as mentioning Lord Deincourt or his ten children. 6. He believes the petition to their Lordships was preferred without his father's privity, and signed by some other in his name, as, for two years before, he had not been able to write his name at large.

He sayd yeas, but that will not make him Ordinary. And there I left, assuring myself that he was made Ordinary and so stiled by the Nuncioes letters. After Mr. Carre's departure, I asked him if in other countryes they had not approbation. He answered yeas, because they had jurisdiction from the Ordinary. I replyed that they had jurisdiction from theyre Generall immediatly, from the Pope mediatly, and so jurisdiction went before approbation. He said approbation went before, but I beate him from that. He urged Mr. Carre that seculers must have approbation, so farre as that he confessed he was approved by Wm. Chalc[edon]. He sayd further that they were approved, in that they had not bin questioned about it, for tacita ajyprobatio sufficit.

Petition of John Eyre, gent, to the County Committee at Lincohi. 1644, Nov. 25.— Six years since, by a decree in Chancery, a sequestration was directed to Edward Tripp and others for gathering the profits of the parsonage of Barton, in this county, for the use of petitioner. In times of peace he enjoyed the same, and in the harvest of 1642 above twenty bayes«* of white corn were gathered in. But the year following, one John Dalton, a delinquent and ever very active against the Parhament, taking advantage of petitioner's' absence, by reason the King's forces were then masters of Lincolnshire, gathered the profits of the harvest. Afterwards, Mr. Emmerson seized Dalton's corn and referred the matter to John Archer, esquire, of this committee, but has refused to give up to petitioner what Mr. Archer allowed to him, and now Dalton has carried away the corn, pretending that he has the Earl of Manchester's protection. He lives very privately in Barrow, has not been above once at church in twelve weeks, and is a suspected papist and a man of desperate condition. Prays that the said Dalton may be sent for to answer his con- tempt of the Chancery decree, and that Mr. Tripp and Mr. John Frier may have the custody of the corn until the Committee shall give further order.

Deposition of John Jepson, of Botlesford, in the county of Leicester. [1646, September?-)] — Testifies that for divers years he has been war drolDe -keeper and yeoman of the chamber to the Earl of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, having in his charge most of the household stuff and linen there. About last February was three years, Mr. Gervase Lucas (late servant of the Earl), now called Sir Gervase Lucas, entered the castle, then in peaceable possession of the said Earl, imprisoned deponent and others of the Earl's servants, and took the keys, which, however, a few hours later he gave back to deponent. During the next two years the said Sir Gervase and his now wife desired deponent to deliver to them divers parcels of linen and household stuff, " as namely, one black velvett sadle cloth with the furniture to it, one silke carpitt of nedleworke of divers coulers, the courtaines, vallance and furniture of one redd bedd trimed with black silke and gold fringe and lace, a greate silke courtaine for a window, * i.e. divisions of a barn.

All which, he, being then under command of the said Sir Gervase, durst not refuse, and none of which have ever been received back. Also, by like direction of Sir Gervase and his now wife, deponent delivered the keys of the wardrobe to one Odiam and one William Onnion [Unwin] , who went in and out at their pleasure. At the end of the two years aforesaid, deponent was taken to Grantham by a party of the Parliament's horse, where he remained nine weeks, and, on his return, he found many of the rooms ransacked, the trunks broken open, and much linen and household stuff taken away.

[1646, September?] — Testifies that in or about September, 1645, the wife of the Governor of Belvoir Castle (Mr. now Sir Gervase Lucas) desired him to write directions on three or four great bundles which he believed to be linen, for that the said lady said, " Now I shall have a pair of sheets to lie in when I come to London," which bundles were to be conveyed to Mrs. Greene, the said lady's sister, near Bednalls Green, and were sent by one Sewell to the Melton Mowbray carrier for the purpose. Has divers times heard the said Lady Lucas say she had no linen or household stuff of her own, as it was all burnt or lost at Newark ; and has heard it reported that she picked out the marks of the linen belonging to the Earl and Countess of Eutland and put her own or other marks instead. She oftentimes asked him to carry parcels of linen and other things to Oxford, but he refused. Also one Thomas Smith, who sold the bark of great quantity of timber at Belvoir, told informant that he paid the moneys which he received for it to the said lady. Signed.

Bakewell.— " The Tuesday after I left Belvoyr (being the second instant) went to Trentham. Wednesday and Thursday were spent in examining rentalls, leases, veiwing the mannor and estate there, which is very large and intyre. The tennants of the mannor are all at will, save of one estate called the Hill or Clayton Griffith in lease to one Moreton, a lace man in Coven Garden, for about 12 years to come at 16/. per annum, of which hee makes above 200/. (beyond all charges) to under- tennants. The mannor-house stands low, is a tollerable good house, out of repaires in the roofe by extraordinary heavy slate, large gardens, the walkes not perfected. The tennants have large and good pennyworths, yet are but of indifferent abilityes, occacioned, as I collect, by the hospitality at Trentham house, where, I am tould, they used to spend their tyme and neglect their businesse, which was the reason they are runn the greatest part of the 4000/. areare of rent (in the perticuler sent your Lordship) , some good part whereof will bee lost ; for which reasons I waved fixing here for any part of the joynture. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Munday and Tuesday were spent in looking into the mannors of Lilleshaw (sic) and the other manners and estates in Shropshire, Wolverhampton, and the rest of the estate in Staffordshire, the better to informe my selfe how 229 to fix the joynture safe, the abstract whereof is inclosed, the hke being sent to my late Lord Cheefe Baron with a perticuler of the names of the tennants to the demesne lands and the yearly rents thereof. The tenements in demesne come to 5511. 6s. Id., are very good pennyworths. All taxes paid by the tennants save about eight of the smallest parcells. 'Tis all in lands, noe mills, tythes or coalemynes. The remaynder of the 2000L joynture chargeable with assessments issues out of the manners and estates in lease, many tymes beyond the value, soe as this is one of the best 20001. joyntures, I think, in England, and is the most convenient for the estate, all things considered. The rents of the Staffordshire and Shropshire estates do reach the perticuler sent to your Lordship, a copy whereof I tooke at Belvoyre. The rentall of Stitnam, the steward said, was sent to London ; soe hee could not shew me that. The demesnes at Trentham valued at 5911. 4.s. 4fL are large enough to answer that rent, if there were farme-houses and industrious tennants upon them. And for the demesnes in Lylleshall at 5B01. and Sheriffe Hales at 294L yearly, they will beare it, or within a small matter. " All I coulde doe since I came home on Thursday has beene the modelling the joj'nture, sending my Lord Cheefe Baron that with the names of the tennants and rents, and drawing a scheme of the estate for your Lordship, which shall come by the next opportunity, wherein your Lordship will fully understand the estate, and observe it to bee as great as it hath been reputed in revercion, and 2701. yearly good rent in tythes and other thinges not comprehended in the perticuler sent. I am pretty well assured the Shropshire and Staffordshire lands in lease, all but Trentham, are not at 5s. the pound, men of understanding affirme not at halfe soe much." Seal.

St. Quintin, Linnick.t — I have received His Majesty's commands to send you the enclosed paper that was given to him by the Duke of Holstein Ploen, not as coming from the King of Denmark, but as a project of what in his opinion might furnish matter for an accommodation. * Printed in Vol. ii. p. 140. with some errors, t Near Brussels. 230 As it does not come from the Court of Denmark, you may conclude it is no proposition of the Duke of Zell or of the Elector of Brunswick, wherefore neither party should be displeased by His Majesty owning the paper. It is His Majesty's pleasure that neither you nor Monsieur Hop publish it or let it appear to come from either of you, but that it serve as a rule to govern yourselves by, as those expedients would be agreeable to his Majesty, if the parties could be brought to consent to them ; in order whereunto His Majesty would be well pleased if some other hand than yours or Monsieur Hop's might be seen by those concerned in the present negotiation. William Blathwayt to [Loed Lexington]. 1693, September 9. Camp at St. Quintin, Linnick. — The King is surprised that the first proposition mentioned in yours of the 22nd should be renewed, and the Danes encouraged to graft on it so many more unreasonable demands. He looks upon it as injurious to the House of Luneburg and too great a discouragement to them as our allies to be insisted on or countenanced by you and Monsieur Hop, instead of which the King thinks lit that the paper I sent you by the two last posts be produced and owned by you and Monsieur Hop, and that the King of Denmark and House of Luneburg be persuaded to accept of the expedients proposed in it, and that you may not scruple to let them both understand that, if these good offices cannot prevail to keep the peace between them, the King is obliged to take part with his allies, and to send the squadron to the Sound.

My last letter was of the 12th April, at which time I sent to England by Captain Maxwell the survey of Lake Champlain and of the country round Pittsburgh, which I hope got safe, as well as all former surveys and draughts of the forts.

New York.—" With this you will receive a copy of the General Report of the Forts, as far as I have been able since my arrival from my own view to make a just one,_ or to get intelligence from the engineers that have had the direction this summer of the different districts. I beg you will lay the same before the Master-General, and also acquaint his Lordship I will use every endeavour that he may perfectly know this country, the situation of the posts, and the properest communications. "In order that I may get entire knowledge of the greatest part of this Continent, I intend to propose myself to the Commander- in-chief, to be sent down the Ohio to the Mississippi, up that stream about seventy miles to the Illinois Settlement, from thence cross over to Detroit, and come down by Lake Erie, Niagara, Lake Ontario into Canada, and view the works at Quebec. In this route, if General Gage agrees to my making it, I hope to acquire useful knowledge, which I shall have the honour of communicat- ing to you. I sincerely wish I may be able, by any pains I am at, to find out the public good. If I should, I will have the greatest pleasure eagerly to pursue it; neither jealousy of another's invention or ]Derformance, nor partiality to my own, can ever make me depart from my duty to it. " Since I had the honour of writing you by Colonel Eyre the campaign against the Indians is at an end ; peace is made with those people without blood. The body of troops that went under the command of Colonel Bouquet from Fort Pitt against the Delawares and Shawnese, by being able to march in so formid- able a manner as far as some of their towns, has struck these tribes with a good deal of terror ; yet, although they have agreed to such terms as was given them, they will soon forget they were obliged to this, therefore must be narrowly watched, though attended with expence, till their fighting humour does subside. Their pacification at present favours our taking possession of the Illinois country, which, instead of struggling for four or five hundred leagues against the stream of the Mississippi, may now be done with ease and pleasure down that of the Ohio in one- fourth part of the time. " Till this is accomplished we can have no security with the Indians on this Continent, nor can the whole country be made useful to the community. The Illinois in our possession and peace thoroughly established, an immense consideration will be necessary to turn the improvement, trade and people of this wide empire to the public good of the mother country. " The description of the posts will point out to his Lordship the difficulties attending the garrisoning of and keeping them in repair ; our getting a vessel into Lake Huron, I hope, will never engage us to erect posts or send a military force to such an uncommunicable distance. Detroit is full far enough. " I intend to put our posts upon a general map, which I shall transmit to you, that thereby his Lordship may see the whole at a view." 233 Lord Adam Gordon to Captain Goery. 1765, June 1. New York. — There is much matter in your letters that gives me uneasiness, but as it is not in my power to remedy, I will not take it to heart. Your illness vexes me more than anything else. If you should die, I will lose all hope of arriving at peace, order and good discipline. This is a good place and sensible people in it, yet touched with the times, as all North Americans are. Cojyy. Lieutenant John Thomas to General Williamson. 1765, June 16. Point Iberville. — " According to your desire, I take this opportunity (by Mr. Frazier) to give you a description of West Florida. It can be no advantage to me to add or diminish anything from a country to what it really is. I shall describe this province so far as I know of it, without being partial or prejudiced in the least. Pensacola, when possessed by the Spaniards, was for exiles, according to the laws of that peoj)le. When the Eoyal Americans came to relieve the garrison, they were asked what crime they had committed, to be sent to so wretched a place. Pensacola is at present a square staccaded fort, containing a few miserable huts for the officers and soldiers. Its situation is on the north of a spacious bay, surrounded by a sandy desert, which is heated in the summer time to that degree as to make it almost unsufferable. The sand is white as snow, not having the least mixture of earth, for the space of one hundred miles back into the country, which produces nothing but pitchpines, shrubs and some oak trees, so that a worse situation cannot be, having but little to subsist upon but salt provision for our money, not the least appearance of vegetables ; neither is it possible for the art of man to produce any. The few cattle that now and then comes here is from New Orleans or the country adjacent, but the fatigue of a long march over the barren sands makes the poor animals more bones than fiesh by the time they arrive to this place. A goat sells for 3/. 12s. sterling, a turkey lis., sometimes 12s., a fowl 4s. Qd., beef M. per pound, and what we call pork IQd. Notwithstanding the extravagant price, every thing is snapped at by a parcel of peddling fellows, who call themselves merchants because they sell a few buttons and knives for their amusement (by credit from home) in expectation of a Spanish free trade. It's true I am not acquainted with new colonies, but I really believe that such a rabble of dirty fellows was never got together. They appear to me as if they had been gibbeted for some time in a very hot climate, but, thank God, I have left them them, and should be truly sorry to see them or the capital of huts any more. Coming to this place it was my duty to call at Mobile. The town and fort is at the extremity of a large bay running upwards of thirty miles into the country. In the front of the town there is a swampy island formed by a river emptying itself into the bay. In the rear is another with a thick wood close to the place. The water likewise is very bad. So that it is [as] 234 unhealthy a spot as any part of the globe ; as to the soil I am not well acquainted with [it] , being but two days on shore. What I saw was sandy and very bad. I had the command of a sloop with one bombardier, one mattross, two nine-pounders, two heavy sixes, one light six-pounder, five-and-a-half-inch howitzer, and according to orders received an officer's command from the 34th regiment for this post. We halted at New Orleans with His Majesty's Ship Nautilus. During our stay, the French were at great pains in knocking us down with their affected complaisances, and I believe much more in persuading the Indians (on the banks of this river) to knock out our brains with their fuzees. We hear that the peddling scoundrels of Florida have supplied the French with a considerable quantity of gunpowder ; however the savages received from them plenty of arms and ammunition, from one end of this river to the other. This is about eighty leagues from the mouth of the river, which is a crooked or serpen- tine one, with a stream which runs near four knots an hour when there is a fair wind, for one hour the same very often proves foul the next. " The fort intended to be erected at this place was begun some weeks past, but God knows when it will be finished, as the French Negroes employed in the works have deserted them, and the Nautilus, having been under a necessity of falling down the river, being in want of provisions, so that we at present are at savages' mercy, not a gun is inclosed, and such a guard that I am sure that the barrack (which consists [of] near fifty men) might be sur- prised, as most of them are employed in clearing a little narrow dirty ditch called the river Iberville, which helps to form the island of New Orleans. Our provisions are almost expended, the only expectation of relief is from Major Farmer, who com- mands the 34th regiment at Orleans on its expedition to the Illinois. " The lands here are very good, but covered with massy trees, and subject to inundations." Captain Abram Tovby to Colonel Dbsaguliees, Great (^ueen Street, Westminster. 1765, September 14. Perth. — Being informed that the engineers who were at the siege of Belleisle have received their bat and baggage money at the rate of 100/. each, and the subalterns in proportion, and the artillery officers at Guadaloupe and the Havanah received the like sum, we therefore, who served under you at the taking of Belleisle, hope that you will solicit the Marquess of Granby and the Board to put us on the same footing as the engineers who were with us in that service. Governor Kobbrt Melville to the Marquess of Granby. 1765, October^. St. George's in Grenada. — Asking that the artillery on the island may be strengthened and increased, and stating that, though he does not view his neighbours in too 235 formidable a light, yet it is his duty to watch them closely. Moreover they not only have greater garrisons but are more intent on putting their militia in order and on other preparations than they ever were before in time of peace. Signed. Edward Edwards to Major James. 1765, December 22. New York. — I send you the newspapers "with an advertisement that was publicly stuck up in all the public places of the city, and which I tore off the other evening, but narrowly escaped from the Sons of Liberty, from having a good drubbing or beating, as some of them saw me do it. "We have been pretty peaceably and quiet of late, till last Tuesday at night, when the Sons of Liberty began their wanton rebellion and carried through the public streets the effigies of Lord Bute, Mr. Grenville and Governor Murray, from thence to the fields, where they were burnt ; after that procession, they returned to the City Hall, where the stamps lay, and would (if the mayor, corporation and the rest of the gentlemen had not assem- bled and with much to do dispersed them) [have] took them ofl: and burnt them ; and last night they vowed they would have them, but the Gran [adiers] of the city with others of the militia kept constant watch over them at night ; they likewise swear they will have them to-night, so God only knows what will be [the] end of it. It seems they are determined to send them home by the Duke packet ; she sails to-morrow, so that I suppose we shall have rare work to-night. They are likewise dissatisfied with their new Governor, as he will not let any vessels to go out with- out proper passports, and likewise because he hath refused their freedom; as it was not upon stamp-paper, however, they do all they can to please him." Major Thomas Jambs to the Marquess of Gkanby. [1765.] — Stating that in consequence of his having planted some light artillery on the barbet of Fort George at New York with the approbation of General Gage and the consent of Governor Golden in order to protect the stamp-papers from being burned by the inhabitants, a body of five or six thousand men had on the 1st November attacked his house and destroyed all his property ; that he had been desired by his officers and friends to obtain leave to embark for England lest he should be murdered, that his losses and passage-money have involved him in debt, and asking for relief and compensation.

Mr. Barwell says there is time enough for the drawing it up, as well as for getting it signed, and properly executed afterwards. Whatever he and Mr. Calcraft agree upon shall be communicated to your Lordship by Saturday night's post. I have not yet been able to see either Mr. Stanley or Mr. Lucas upon the business your Lordship ordered me to speak to them about, though I have called several times at their houses, but I shall catch them without fail to-morrow morning, * i.e. military engineering, from the French. 287 and will send your Lordship their answers. I have been ram- bling everywhere about to picii up some intelligence for your Lordship; and as nothing is talked of but the expected rupture with Spain, I find it is the general opinion that a war with that Power is inevitable, tho' it's imagin'd the Ministry are doing everything they can to get out of the scrape. General Harvey, whom I have just now seen, appears to be of the same way of thinking with regard to the probability of a war ; but bids me assure your Lordship with his best compliments that, as soon as he knows anything for certain upon this subject, he will not fail to write to you. I understand Lord Howe has offer'd his service to the King, in consequence of which it's thought he will be one of the first to be employ'd, in case the war should go on ; in the mean- while a promotion of Admirals is to be forthwith made, which will take him in. Lord Barrington is out of town ; and I don't hear that anything further has yet been thought of concerning the army, than to order all officers whatever to join their respective corps without delay; especially those stationed at Gibraltar. General Conway, it seems, has his hands full of work, for he is every day either at Woolwich or the Tower ; and they begin to talk of raising a new battalion of artillery, the scheme for which has, I'm told, been already laid before the King. I beg my best compliments to Dr. Muskett, Chamberlaine, and all friends. I intended writing to Chamberlaine by this post, but not having time, must beg he'll excuse me till my return from Ingress." Elizabeth (so called) Duchess of Kingston to Captain Haedbn, Commander of her ship, the Minerva. 1774, June 30. Lille. — If Lord Granby cannot be provided with a packet to carry him to Dover, I desire you will obey his com- mands, and return as soon as possible to me at Calais. Notwith- standing the great haste I am in, I had rather be inconvenienced than have Lord Granby disappointed of the means of going to England. Signed. Signature struck through with a pen. De. E. Barnaed to [the Maequess of Geanby]. 1774, October 23. Eton College. — Congratulating him on his election to a seat in Parliament. D. Pdlteney to the Maequess of Geanby, at Knightsbridge. [1775, April 7?] Friday. Cambridge. — "I did not order Almon's collection of debates at the coffee houses here because I found the Cambridge paper in everybody's hands, and your speech inserted with what comments you will excuse me from repeating. I can only say I am ashamed to transcribe the subjoined from the scroll of a pencil at Newmarket to such an adept in debate, and if I have taken very little pains about it, pray believe me in earnest when I assure you by God I believe you will succeed better from yourself." On the same sheet is the outline of an arguiiinitfor the repeal of the Quehec Act. 238 The Countess op Chatham to the Marquess of Geanby. 1775, September 3. Hayes.— Regretting that Lord Chatham is not well enough to see him. John, Eael of Chatham to [the Maequess of Granby]. 1778, May 15. Hayes.— Thanking him for his condolences on the death of his father. Trusts that he inherits his father's opinions, principles, and love of his country ; and that the son and the chief friend of him whom they all lament may be united by every tie, public and private. William Pitt to [the Marquess of Geanby] . 1778, May 15. Hayes. — " The sentiments contained in your Lordship's letter to my mother are indeed so affecting and over- coming that it is impossible for her to answer them with her own hand. At the same time it is as impossible for her to accept your obliging permission of leaving them totally unanswered. She is anxious that your Lordship should know how much she feel^ herself obliged to you for your goodness on this distressful occasion, and desires me to assure you that nothing affords so healing a medicine to her affliction as the conduct of those whom my poor father in his life the most respected and loved. In that number I need not say that you, my dear Lord, had a distinguished place. Your Lordship's wish of taking a part in the House of Commons must be felt as the greatest honour by every part of Lord Chatham's family, and is certainly not the less felt, though circumstances put it out of your power to attend. My mother's mind is raised, as it naturally must, by reflecting that he whom we have lost expired, as it were, in the arms of his country ; and by contemplating the honours with which that country has consecrated his memory. " I must trouble your Lordship to convey to Lady Granby my mother's sincerest acknowledgements and warmest thanks for her very obliging attention, and to express how truly she laments that she cannot herself assure Lady Granby how deep a sense she has of her goodness. I embrace eagerly this opportunity of saying how much the repeated proofs of attachment, with which you have honoured a character so sacred in my bosom, must endear to me every mark of your Lordship's friendship." The Earl of Chatham to the Marquess of Geanby. 1778, July 15. Gibraltar. — Informing him of his safe arrival and begging him to indulge him with a letter. Eobbet Thoeoton to LoED Robbet Manners, in Arlington Street. [1779, Sept. 2. Plymouth.]—" The Southampton, Captain Gurney, arrived here yesterday. He spoke with Sir Charles Hardy twenty-five leagues westward off Scilly and described to him the numbers and situation of the combined fleet. Sir Charles is very 239 much distressed for water and is reduced to his last tier of water casks. The united fieetis at the Land's End stretching southward from thence. They have a fleet of thirty victuallers and four frigates off the Lizard. Their fleet consists of fifty-eight line of battle ships with many frigates. The Kite cutter sailLed] unintentionally through their fleet, and fifteen sail of Irish merchantmen made the same blunder, and had the same miraculous escape. The conduct of Ministry in regard to this plaoe is such as if they intended to deliver it into the hands of the enemy. Sir David Lindsay has wrote to resign, as every proposition he has made to strengthen the town has been unattended to, and every requisition he has made has been refused. The town in its present state is not quite defenceless, but in such a situation as to sacrifice many of the lives of those who attempt its defence. Sir William Draper will have the command for a short time, and then it is to be vested in one General Havilland. You cannot think how exasperated every one is with the Ministry. I keep this letter open in ease of any further account, which, depend upon it, shall be faithfully transmitted." Postsciipt. — " isfow whosoever you are who have open [ed] this letter, if you have for once spirit enough to speak the truth, do convey this intelligence to the first Lord of the Admiralty, that the people at Plymouth are so incensed and enraged with him that, if he dared show his head in the town, he would be torn limb from limb by the justly irritated inhabitants." William Pitt to the Duke of Eutland. 1779, Oct. 18. Pembroke Hall [Cambridge].—" I ought not to have delayed so long acknowledging the last obliging letter which I received from your Grace on my mother's account as well as my own. She had commissioned me to present her best compliments to your Grace and the Duchess, with many thanks for the honour of your obliging inquiries. I should also have repeated to you my own thanks for the fresh accessions of hope which I continu- ally owe to. your kind exertions in my favor. I am happy to be able to inform you that my success in other quarters in some measure corresponds with that for which I am indebted to your Grace's friendship. I have been returned to Cambridge two or three days, and only had time to sum up what I have already gained, without making any further advances. I find that from the answers I have myself received, and those which your Grace has transmitted to me, I have at least 60 positive promises, about 40, which are, in various degrees, rather favourable, between 20 and 30 which indicate nothing of the disposition of the writers, and only eleven from persons who are engaged. This account includes onlj' those who have given express assurances, and consequently omits very many of whose support I have great reason to be confident. I shall have an opportunity of making personal applications now to many persons who were absent when I began my canvass ; and from the University being so much fuller 240 shall also, I hope, be able to discover channels of application which may be of assistance. On the whole I and all my friends are persuaded that the state of my cause is very promising. It is rather unfortunate for me that Mr. Atwood has resigned his fellowship, as it must of course diminish his influence, but he will still, I am sure, exert himself as much as he can, and maybe of considerable use to my cause. The meeting of Parliament will, I imagine, at length put an end to your confinement at Plymouth, which must, I fear, have been rather tedious. I shall hope to have the pleasure of meeting you at that time in town. My brother will probably have performed a month's march into your part of the world, soon enough to return again with somewhat more expedition on the same account." LoED Mansfield to [the Duke of Eutland]. 1779, Oct. 2i!. Kenwood. — " You may probably have heard of Lady Mansfield's dangerous illness : and I know the goodness of your heart so well, that I am sure you feel much for us all ; therefore I take the first moment in my power to tell you the doctor thinks her decidedly in a fair way of recovery I beg my most respectful compliments to the Duchess." Alleyne Fitzhbebeet to [the Duke of Poutland]. 1780, January 14. Brussels. — I have met with a picture by Gerard Dow, which will be no disgrace to your collection. It is the famous picture which was in Verhulst's "••' possession. At his sale it was going for a sum inferior to what he paid for it, so his executors bought it in on their own account. I am under no apprehension of your thinking the money ill laid out, as, next to the famous picture of this master which was lost on its way to Eussia, ours is reckoned to be the finest that has been upon sale for many years. It is very small, being only five inches high and six in breadth. I hope you like the Eubens. Lord Mansfield to the Duke of Eutland. 1780, March 12. — "As I have not the honour of knowing the gentleman you mention, I suppose it is upon subjects of a public nature he wishes to speak to me. As I am in no office and con- sequently mix in no council of state, I decline discussion which I cannot make the proper use of. You cannot say that I decline seeing a gentleman, but you may hint that you know I do not interfere in public business, and you may say I am at home most mornings about 9 and most evenings." Alleyne Fitzheebeet to [the Duke of Eutland]. 1780, April 10. Brussels. — " You will receive at the same time with this letter a small mahogany box containing your Gerard * Probably the portrait painter William Verelst is intended. 241 Dow, which I have at last met with an opportunity of forwarding to you by a person I can trust. I Kkewise enclose to you herewith the key of the said box. I don't know whether I am quite at my ease upon the subject of the reception this picture will meet with at your hands, and the worst of it is that, whether it be good or bad, I am sure never to be the wiser, as your language to me will in either case be exactly the same : my only comfort is in the opinions of the connoisseurs here, who all continue to assure me that it is a monstrous pennyworth. I have no news to send you from hence, there being none arrived lately in France either from the West Indies or the Continent of America. We are all much taken up here, as by the time this reaches England you probably will be in London, by the late declaration of the Empress of Russia, which, though it wears the cloak of neutrality, is evidently and solely levelled against us. It arrived at The Hague very opportunely to deliver the States-General from the embar- rassment into which Sir J. Yorke's late memorial had thrown them, as I take it for granted that, finding themselves backed by so powerful a court, they will now boldly throw off the mask and declare that they renounce their treaty with us, but at the same time insist upon the performance of ours with them. Whatever may come of it, it is our own fault for having suffered them to trifle with us so long at a time when the smallest act of vigour on our parts would have laid them at our feet. It is true that we have a number of enemies upon our hands, and in that case as Hudibras says : — — 'tis no mean part of civil State-prudence to cajole the Devil ; but then the Devil has claws and horns and according to some authors a pitchfork to defend himself with, whereas I can venture to say that all the force the Dutch could at that time have thrown into the enemies' scale would not have increased the weight of it by one scruple, and in the meantime we should at one stroke have ruined their trade and that of our enemies into the bargain. Adieu, my dear Lord. I am mighty anxious for to-morrow's post, in order to learn the event of Thursday's debate upon the petitions. You know me well enough to be persuaded that I am a friend to them in general, and I can assure you that your Cambridgeshire one was one of those that pleased me the best ; but I cannot help adding that I was very sorry to see the active and leading part which Mr. Wilkes was suffered to take in it." The Marquess of Rockingham to the Duke of Rutland. 1780, April 24. Grosvenor Square.—" I have delayed writing to your Grace till I fear it will be very difficult for your Grace to come to London to attend the enclosed motion in the House of Lords. What indeed now occasions me to send you the express is that I really find that very many of our friends do wish that your Grace should be present at the business which is to be moved, so that I feel I ought to try to persuade you to come. What indeed is of much additional weight in my own mind is that in 6802 Q 242 opinion I very sincerely concur with them in thinkingthat your Grace's own personal credit and honour make it almost incumbent upon you to be present in the House on weighty matters and in such times as these. If I was to indulge my own vanity, I might perhaps think that my having the honour of being entrusted with your Grace's proxy might be sufficient, at least for me. At all events you will not be offended at my solicitation. I hear from Lord George Henry Cavendish this morning that your Grace is to be at Cambridge to-day, and possibly to stay there to-night. I therefore send this messenger by way of Cambridge. If you get up early you may be in good time for the House of Lords to- morrow, and you may be back even by dinner time on Wednesday in Cambridgeshire, if you are alert for two mornings." Thomas Thoeoton to [the Duke of Eutland]. 1780, April 25. Arlington Street. — "I am this moment return'd from the House of Commons and the House of Lords. In the former the Commissionof Accounts Bill was to have come on, but was postponed; and after much talk and abusing Ministry on the disposition made for stationing the several regiments of militia, the Salt Tax passed. The Malt comes on to-morrow, some material question of Thursday and Burke's Bill on Friday. In the House of Lords (where your Grace was expected) the Duke of Eichmond made his motion relative to the state of Plymouth last summer. In the course of the debate words had dropped from Lord Stormont expressing that there was too great an intercourse between this country and France than ought to be, and which he could not prevent. These words were taken up by Lord Shelburne, who asked for a plain explicit answer to this question, whether Lord Stormont either as Embassador or Secretary of State had ever come to the knowledge of any improper intercourse between any lord in that House and the enemies of this country. Lord Stormont said that the words which he before made use of referred only to vessels sailing from Margate and other places without passports or any controul whatever from the Secretaries of State, and he meant not to allude to any lord or any other personally. Lord Shelburne said that did not fully answer his question, which was whether any imjiroper intercourse had ever come to his know- ledge, or had with any degree of probability been ever hinted to him. This question Lord Stormont would not answer, and a long debate ensued. A question was formed in order to force an answer. However Lord Stormont would not answer, and at the desire of the Duke of Eichmond the question was dropped, and then they went on with the debate on the Plymouth business. Ministry were terribly mauled by the several speeches of the Dukes of Eichmond and Grafton, Lord Shelburne, &c., &c., and they were most weakly defended whilst I staid in the House upon the argument of exposing your situation to your enemies by such enquiries. I hurried home to write, fearing I should be too late for the post. I have been all round the town canvassing this morning, but unfortunately found scarce any at home. I am 243 sorry to inform your Grace that Mr. York has personally waited on the Duchess of Gloucester, and I find her Royal Highness expects that your Grace should apply to her either in person or by letter. This I had from Admiral Keppel. Tommy Townshend this morning at my request waited on the Duke of Gloucester, who promised to speak to the Duchess, but I find from all your Grace's own application is expected. I have found out through Hagar several votes which I will get to-morrow if possible, and if I can get somebody to tie off with me, I will be with your Grace the next day. The Duchess of Beaufort and Lady Elizabeth Comp- ton I had the pleasure of paying my respects to this morning, and they are very well. The post calls. I have only time to add my most humble respects." Lord Gboege Hbnby Cavendish to the Duke [of Eutland] . [1780, June 7.] Wednesday night. London. — " All Newgate was burned last night and every prisoiier let loose. The King's Bench and Debtors' and likewise Bridewell, I understand, have experienced the same this evening. They last night burned Lord ]\Iansfield's house and destroyed everything in it, all his papers, &c. The Guards fired on the mob and killed six of them and a woman. They then went to Caen Wood, but the soldiers went time enough to save it. They have burned several houses in the course of the day. The magistrates have refused to act any longer. The Privy Council have therefore established a kind of martial law by ordering the military to act as they shall think proper. The Guards have just fired on the mob by the Mansion House and killed forty or fifty of them. We have about ten thousand men in and about London, some encamped in Hyde Park." Thomas Thoeoton to the Duke [of Rutland]. 1780, June 7. Arlington Street. — " After I wrote to your Grace last night never was there so riotous a night. I stayed with Lord Rockingham till three this morning. No attempt was made there or at Sir George Savile's, but Lord Mansfield's house was burnt to the ground and all his furniture, books, &c., &c., &c. Newgate was broke open, the prisoners set at liberty and the jail burnt. The prisoners released from the Fleet, New Prison, etc., &c. The Guards fired at Lord Mansfield's and killed six men and one woman, and that irritated them to burn the house. To-day there has been mobs in various parts, and Caen Wood was said to be in danger, but I hear that it is safe as yet. Several troops are arrived in and near town, and martial law is proclaimed, as the civil magistrates do not dare to do their duty. I fear this will be a horrid night, as I suppose the soldiers are to act with vigor. The enclosed handbill has been distributed. I am happy that the Duchess and you are out of town. Your Grace and the Duchess may depend upon my taking all possible care of Lady Katharine, who is better to-day. I hope this house 244 is safe, I know of none safer ; I would otherwise remove Lady Katharine to it. I once thought of Knightsbridge, but there is no reasoning, perhaps that is not so safe. This country never saw such a time, and no one can tell what the next twenty-four hours may produce." , , „ Postscript.—" There are as many melancholy faces as were on Black Friday. Indeed there is the utmost danger." -John Mberill, Mayor of Cambridge, to the Duke [of Rutland]. 1782, Feb. 5. Cambridge.— I am desired, as chairman of a Committee for rebuilding our Town Hall, to apply for your assist- ance. We should not have troubled you, had not your brother, Lord Eobert Manners, our representative, been absent on service. Signed. Sir Joshua Pieynolds to . 1782, June (i. — I shall certainly execute the commission which his Grace has ordered, with the greatest care possible, as soon as. ever I receive the picture, and hope it will be such a picture as will give an opportunity of doing something that shall correspond to his Grace's idea. 1 knew very little of Lord Robert, but was very well acquainted with his Grace's great affection to him. I therefore felt and sympathised with him, I really think in losing him we have paid the full value of what we have got ; it is the general opinion that we have lost the most promising youth in the whole navy, and I am sure from what I saw of him and the letters I have seen from him, I am most perfectly inclined to confirm their opinion. I beg my most respectful compliments to their Graces. C. F. Greville to [the Duke of Rutland]. 1782, Oct. 18. Steephill, Isle of Wight.— "I must take this opportunity of informing you, that I took the charge of your Murillo. The apparent state of that picture was much better than the former one, which Biondi repaired ; you must however remember that this picture was brought out by a varnish, which Peters did not venture to give to the other, and this circumstance added infinitely to the difficulty of making a good job of the present work. The picture had been much injured, the canvas tore half across the principal figures and much repainted. The parts which were not repainted had been cleaned so unmercifully that it was quite out of harmony, and it was very injudicious to put an oil varnish on a picture in that state, for the difference of a spirit varnish and an oil varnish is that the one will wash off with a little spirit of turpentine, and the other is scarcely to be removed without taking also the colors off the picture. I am convinced you will not repent having it done ; it will be the best of the three, and I agreed with him for little more than half what the other cost you in repairing.

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland]. 1793, Dec. 13. H.M.S. Ganges, Torbay.— " On my arrival last night in this Bay, I was honoured with your Grace's letter of the 25th of last month, and feel much flattered by the kind manner in which you therein invite me to a free and friendly correspondence with you in future, which I accept with the utmost satisfaction, and will not at any time fail of communica- ting to you whatever may occur in our fleet that may be worthy of notice. I am however extremely concerned to open my corresjDondence with your Grace by acquainting you that the intelligence you received respecting our fleet ' having captur'd eight sail of the enemy's line-of-battle ships, and six frigates ' is unfounded ; although it is true that on the 18th of last month we saw six sail of French line-of-battle ships, two frigates, and a brig, right to windward of us in the S.E. quarter. Lord Howe, imme- diately on discovering them to be the enemy's ships, made the signal to the six best sailing ships of his fleet to chase them, to- gether with several of the frigates' signals ; and soon after gave 246 chase himself with the whole of the fleet. The enemy were between nine and ten miles from us, when we began to chase at i past 9 in the morning, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon we had gained very considerably on them, at least four miles, and one of our frigates (the Latona) got up within gunshot of then- rear ships and fired very frequently at the Tiger, an 84-gun ship, and received some shot in return. It was a dark, squally, tem- pestuous afternoon, and night then setting m very rapidly. The chase was continued all night, but a cha»ge of wind hap- pening together with a very dark black squall, they_ availed themselves of it, and bore away ; our fleet, not seeing that manceuvre, kept to the wind, by which means they lost sight of the enemy; this was about 11 o'clock at night. The Bel- leroplwn (Commodore Pasley) with three frigates, being far ahead of the fleet, however, kept sight of them, and I saw the Commodore till half past two in the morning, and of consequence steered with a pressed sail after him; the Audacious (Captain Parker) and Marlborough (Captain Bermley) were near me at this time ; but there came on that time so heavy a squall of wind, that, in order to save my masts, I was obliged to reef, as did (I learnt afterwards) the two other ships. I still continued to steer on that point of the compass in which I had last seen the Commodore ; but never saw him afterwards ; and at dawn of day I found myself quite out of the fleet, and the Audacious only with me ; at 10 in the morning I discovered three of the fleet, with signals flying for recalling ships from chase ; and at noon I saw the remainder of Lord Howe's fleet, which I join'd. I then learnt, that two of our ships the Montague and Vanguard, had carried away their masts and parted company ; and I forgot to mention, that in the early part of the chase two of our fastest sailing ships, the Defence and Russells, when they were gaining fast on the enemy, were disabled, the former by carrying away all her topmasts, the latter by springing her foretopmasts. We continued for several days after looking out for the enemy's ships, by spreading ourselves as far asunder as signals could be seen, but never saw more of them. Some time after we joined the Commodore and frigates, who inform'd us, that he had kept sight of the enemy all night, and at dawn of day saw four line-of-battle ships within two miles of him, but as our fleet were not in sight of him, and he had only the frigates, he was under the necessity of drawing ofi: from them; and had to cruise in search of our fleet. These are exactly the circum- stances of that day and night. Had we fortunately had three or four hours more daylight, not one of them could have escaped us, but eight hours day only, (indeed we had not more than six, as it was near 10 o'clock when we began to chase) is not favourable to a pur- suit, tho' sixteen hours dark and tempestuous night is peculiarly so to an escape, and was alone the cause of their getting off. " I cannot describe to your Grace the pain and disappointment of the fleet the next morning at missing the enemy, nor Lord Howe's anxiety for his own disabled ships which were left astern in the chase. 247 " It was an unlucky day, but every thing, that could be done, was, and it affords me great pleasure to learn your Grace's sentiments of our noble Admiral ; he is indeed an excellent one, as you style him, and the greatest our service ever produc'd. " I imagine we shall shortly be ordered to Portsmouth to repair our ships, most of them being greatly in want thereof. In that event, I shall apply for leave to go to London, and will not fail paying my respects to you in Hanover Square. I beg you will do me the honour to present my respectful compliments to the Duchess of Eutland and my kindest remembrances to your brother." Postscript. — " I hope Lord Charles holds his intention of coming into our service. His name is entered on my ship's books." A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland] . 1794, April 16. H.M.B. Casar. Spithead.— " Your letter of the 8th inst. did not reach me till last night at my return to Spithead ; having sailed from thence on the 31st of last month ; but I went no further than St. Helen's, and tho' at so small a distance from Portsmouth, the weather was so extremely bad, that I had no communication with the shore or fleet, all the time I lay at that anchorage ; this will account to you, for my not more (sic) acknowledging the receipt of your letter. " Your suggestions are right respecting the commencement of naval operations (those of the army are already begun) ; for the signal was made yesterday to prepare for sailing, and I believe we shall move from hence on Sunday next at furthest, with the strongest and best appointed fleet the country ever yet sent out. " In a few days, I will give you an exact list (as you desire) of the ships that compose our fleet, with the line of battle, which is not issued; at the same time, I must request that you will keep it to yourself, as Lord Howe does not wish to have it publicly known. Should we be fortunate enough to meet the French fleet, there can be no doubt but that we shall defeat them, which would operate more effectually to put an end to the war, than a dozen victories ashore. The French at present care not how many men they lose or destroy ; they easily replace and recruit their armies, but ships and fleets are with time and difficulty form'd ; let us only destroy their present fleet, and long will it be ere they can possess another. "I am happy to hear that the report of the King of Prussia's desertion of the general cause is without foundation ; tho' I own, I have long looked with a jealous eye towards him. His army is at present of the utmost importance to the Allies, and if money is his object, it would be folly in the extreme to withhold it from him, tho' one cannot admire the principle by which he is actuated. You will oblige me much by communicating to- me occasionally any information you may receive from the Continent, as you have, through our friend Colonel Manners, the best means of obtaining such as can be depended on, and you 248 may rely on my giving you a faithful account of all naval operations. When I send you a list of our fleet, I will accompany it with a list of all ships in commission, as well of the line as of frigates, with their present destination. " We have only eaptur'd three frigates from the enemy since the commencement of the war, except those taken by Lord Hood in the Mediterranean, an exact list of which I have never been able to obtain, but expect one soon. I am obliged to conclude this sooner than I intended, as my signal is now flying on board Lord Howe's ship, and I am obliged to attend his lordship immediately ; but I will very shortly write to you again." A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Exjtland]. 1794, April 80. H.M.S. Ccesar. St. Helen's.—" We left Spit- head in such a hurry last Friday, that I really had not time to write to you, nor could I perform my promise of sending you our line of battle, even if I had had time, for it was not given out till we sailed. The wind backing round to the westward on Sunday morning obliged us to put back to this anchorage, which furnishes me with an opportunity of complying with your wishes, and you will herewith receive the line of battle, and order of sailing ; which I again entreat you not to make public. It is a noble fleet, well manned and fit to go round and bid defiance to the world. I wish it had suited your convenience to have come and looked at us, prior to our sailing ; I should have had great pleasure in showing you the fleet, and I am sure you would have been pleased in seeing it. " Our success at Martinique, as well as on the Continent, are happy omens of future success, and I have no doubt but that the next packet from the West Indies will bring an account of Guadaloupe and St. Lucia being in our possesion. The latter island, I trust, we shall never again part with. It was a sad mistake in 1782 giving it up to Prance, for I can asstire you, of my own knowledge, that Eodney's victory of the 12th of April would not have haiDpened, had we not been in possession of St. Lucia ; it is so advantageously situated as to overlook and command Fort Eoyal Bay in Martinique, the rendezvous of the French fleets, and we saw them getting under sail the morning of the 8th, which caused a pursuit of them, and victory followed. I have just heard that Admiral Macbride's squadron has captured three French frigates ; but it has blown so hard ever since our return as to preclude all communication with the shore, so that we have had no authentic intelligence of it ; I hope, however, that it is true. If it is, you will see the account of it in the papers. "You may rely on my writing to you by every opportunity from sea, and giving you every information of moment. " We take the East India fleet, the Mediterranean, Spanish and Portuguese convoys with us, and shall sail very few short of three hundred ships. The moment the wind comes to the northward and eastward we are off. God send the French fleet may be out. I trust few of them will (if we see them) ever see their own ports again." 249 A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland]. 1794, June 3. H.M.S. Casar, at Sea. — "I have only a moment's time to congratulate you on the most important and greatest vic- tory that was ever obtain'd at sea. We had a severe action with the French fleet on the 29th of last month ; but the second, which took place on the first instant proved decisive, and they were completely beaten. Six ships we are bringing home, two were sunk, five dismasted, which the enemy tow'd off ; and the rest in a most shatter'd condition. No language can express the gallant, noble conduct of Lord Howe ; his indefatigable diligence in searching for the enemy, the moment he heard of their having left Brest. His zeal and ardor after having once seen them, and his never leaving them a day's respite, till he had defeated them, are such testimonials of his worth, that I really look up to him with admiration. Thank God, he has escaped unhurt." The Same to the Same. 1794, August 16. Portsmouth. — " I am honoured with your kind letter of Friday's date, and return you my sincere thanks for it.. But although you acknowledge the receipt of the packets I sent you, you make no mention of the long letter that accom- panied them, which I hope you also received. " You appear to have misunderstood a passage in my narrative, and which you now desire me more fully to explain to you ; namely, ' whether, when I ordered the signal of inability and tacking to be made together, they were made or not ' ? as you continue to say: — 'People say it was not.' The signal was clearly and distinctly made; repeated by the Queen (my second astern) to the Queen Charlotte ; and acknowledged to be seen by the Commander-in-chief. So that you have it in your power fully to refute the report of its not having been made ; but I could wish as little as possible to be said until the court martial is over. " The narratives of all my officers are copying for your Grace, and when ready, shall be transmitted to you. They are infinitely more strong in my favour than my own, as things are mentioned there that would ill become me to say. "I will also transmit you a copy of my correspondence with the Admiralty, together with Lord Howe's charges, and shall not. fail to communicate to you every circumstance that arises until the final issue of the business is settled ; convinced as I am of the very interested part you take in my welfare, and of which, I can now only say, I shall ever retain the most grateful sense. "You say in a part of your letter, that in my narrative it is mentioned : — ' I ordered the inability and tacking signals to be made, and tacked.' This must be a mistake; for I did not tack, because I could not. The inability signal, and tacking signal with it, was made, to tell the Com- mander-in-chief, I could not tack ; but I wore ship, which is 250 a different movement, tho' answers the same purpose as tacking. I am, however, preparing plans and views of the fleet m its several positions during action which, when complete, shall also he sent to you. "I am sorry to hear, that Colonel Manners continues yet too unwell to attend his duty, but hope that ere long he will be quite recovered. I do not like the appearance of affairs on the Continent ; I think at present they wear but a gloomy view, and I much fear a rupture with the Danes, who have a fleet equipped for sea beyond any idea I had form'd of their strength. Be assur'd they have thirty sail-of-the-lme ready for service, and they are exasperated highly against us for the detention of their vessels : I hope, however, and trust, that the fall of Robespierre and his party may ultimately be productive of good to us and to all Europe." Postscript. — " It has appeared from the returns of the officers of the Dock-yards, that the Casar sustain'd more damage in action than any of the fleet, two ships only excepted. Consequently she must have been more engaged. A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland]. 1794, August 18. Portsmouth. — " Believe me, my dear Duke, that neither want of confidence in you, or doubt of your friend- ship have occasioned my long silence, for I have the most implicit faith in both. But the truth is, I meant to have con- tinued silent to your G-race, and to all my friends, until the court martial I have so strongly solicited should have decided on my conduct, and have cleared my character from the cruel and unjust attacks that have been so wantonly thrown on it. How- ever, as the Admiralty have now assured me that my request shall be granted as soon as public service will admit of it, which it will not until the return of the fleet from sea, I no longer intended to preserve my silence ; but had determin'd to inform you of every circumstance from the beginning of the action until the present moment ; for which purpose, my narrative of the proceedings of the Ccesar together with those of my officers and people, also copies of my correspondence with Lord Howe, are now preparing for your Grace's inspection ; and they will be forwarded to you the moment they are ready. You will then see, that the Ccesar, did not only do her duty in the two actions, but did considerably more than many others ; but much as you will see there, infinitely more must necessarily come out on my court martial; and I fear some of those who are thanked, will find themselves but ill at ease. However, it is not my intention to criminate any ; all I want is to be perfectly and honorably acquitted myself. No other will satisfy me, and if I can obtain that, without its hurting the feelings of others (much as my own have been wounded) I shall be happy. " Thank you most sincerely for your very kind letter and promises of friendship, which, dear as it is to me, I no longer wish to preserve, than I shall be found to deserve it ; and allow 251 me to assure you that death would be infinitely more welcome to me, than to be thought unworthy of the friendship of the house of Manners, a name that has ever been, from my first knowledge of it, dearer to me than any other." Postscript. — " I send your Grace by a careful hand my narrative, and copies of Lord Howe's letters to me, and mine to him." A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland] . 1794, Sept. 3. Portsmouth. — "It has not been in my power to procure for you more early copies of the narratives of my officers, as the originals were in London, and in possession of a gentleman, who had been obliged to leave it for a time ; he has this 'day only sent me the copies, and I herewith transmit them to your Grace, together with copies of the Secretary of the Admiralty's letters to me, and Lord Howe's charges ; by which you will see that his lordship grounds his opinion on the reports of others. Strong as the narratives of my officers are, I have the satisfaction to assure you, they are by no means so much so as their testimonies will be on my trial, and, in addition to others, will be those of my inferior officers and seamen; and it will appear, that on the 29th the Gmsar beat the Jemajipe, an 80-gun ship out of the line, and so much, that she could not come into the action of the 1st of June, and in the latter action, the Ccesar beat the two van ships of the enemy out of the line. Lord Howe now says he is sorry for his supplementary letter, and that he was urged to write it. Your Grace will perceive that I write perfectly confidential to you. The fleet sailed this morning only from St. Helen's, and I shall be all anxiety for its return, in order to have the court martial over. And indeed I feel very unhappy at being out of employ at this busy and mteresting period, when every man's utmost services are necessary. Till this moment, from my first going to sea, I never was one week out of service, and to be so now, hurts me extremely, but I must bear it. I am going to Bath to-morrow with my family for a few weeks, and will thank your Grace to direct to me at Sir John Laforey's, Bath (Mrs. Molloy's father) at whose house I shall be. " I by no means like the situation of affairs on the Continent ; and I have most serious apprehensions for our West India Islands. The French islands, that we have taken, I believe we shall lose more rapidly than we gained them, and our own are in the most, critical state, tho' I hope the reinforcements, that are now going out, will be there in time to save them ; but they must be expeditious. I am happy to hear that you are so pleasantly situated as you describe in your letter to me : I have heard much of the beauty of its situation, but never saw Eamsgate but from the ocean in sailing by it. As you seem to be so very fond of the water, I suppose you are frequently on it, and I ajn. not without hope that some time hence I shall have the honor of seeing you aboard my ship." 252 Postscript.—" The drawings of the several positions _ of the fleet in action are not yet finished ; when they are, I will send your Grace a copy of them. " I send the narratives &c. in a box to Hanover Square.' A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland]. 1795, Jan. 4. H.M.S. CVs. of sope at Id. ob. a lb., iiijs. iijrf.

The Commissioners think it probable that you may feel an interest in this object, and be willing to assist in the attainment of it ; and with that view they desire to lay before you an outline of the course which they usually follow. If any nobleman or gentleman express his willingness to submit to the Commissioners any unprinted book or collection of documents in his possession or custody, they will cause an inspection to be made by some competent person, and should the MSS. appear to come within the scope of their enquiry, the owner will be asked to consent to the publication of copies or abstracts of them in the reports of the Commission, which are presented to Parliament every Session. To avoid any possible apprehension that the examination of papers by the Commissioners may extend to title-deeds or other documents of present legal value, positive instructions are given to every person who inspects MSS. on their behalf that nothing relating to the titles of existing owners is to be divulged, and that if in the course of his work any modern title-deeds or papers of a private character chance to come before him, they are to be instantly put aside, and are not to be examined or calendared under any pretence whatever. The object of the Commission is the discovery of unpublished historical and literary materials, and in all their proceedings the Commissioners will direct their attention to that object exclusively. In practice it has been found more satisfactory, when the collection of manuscripts is a large one, for the inspector to make a selection therefrom at the place of deposit and to obtain the owner's consent to remove the selected papers to the Public Eecord Office in London or in Dublin, or to the General Eegister House in Edinburgh, where they can be more fully dealt with, and where they are preserved with the same care as if they formed part of the muniments of the realm, during the term of their examination. Among the numerous owners of MSS. who have allowed their family papers of historical interest to be temporarily removed from their muniment rooms and lent to the Commissioners to facilitate the preparation of a report may be named : — His Majesty the King, the Duke of Eutland, the Duke of Portland, the Marquess of SaHsbury, the Marquess Townshend, the Marquess of Ailesbury, the Marquess of Bath, the Earl of Dartmouth, the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Egmont, the Earl of Lindsey, the Earl of Ancaster, the Earl of Lonsdale, Lord Braye, Lord Hothfield, Lord Kenyon, Mrs. Stopford Sackville, the Right Hon. P. J. Savile Foljambe, Sir George Wombwell, Mr. le Fleming, of Rydal, Mr. Leyborne Popham, of Littlecote, and Mr. Fortescue, of Dropmore. The cost of inspections, reports, and calendars, and the conveyance of documents, will be defrayed at the public expense, without any charge to the owners. The Commissioners will also, if so requested, give their advice as to the best means of repairing and preserving any interesting papers or MSS. which may be in a state of decay. The Commissioners will feel much obliged if you will communicate to them the names of any gentlemen who may be able and willing to assist in obtaining the objects for which this Commission has been issued.

Still, should it be insufficient, the bookseller is requested to dock the catalogue to the amount of the remittance. I have no news to give you ; for I have none but from the newspapers, and believing little of that myself, it would be an unworthy present to my friends. But the important news lies now on your side of the Atlantic. England, in throes from a trifle, as it would seem, but that trifle the symptom of an irremediable disease proceeding from a long course of ex- haustion by efforts and burthens beyond her natural strength; France agonizing between royalists and constitutionalists ; the other States of Europe pressing on to revolution and the rights of man, and the colossal powers of Russia and Austria mar- shalled against them. These are more than specks of hurri- cane in the horizon of the world. You, who are young, may live to see its issue ; the beginning only is for my time. Nor is our side of the water entirely untroubled, the boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave. A hideous evil, the magnitude of which is seen, and at a distance only, by the one party, and more sorely felt and sincerely deplored by the other, from the difliculty of the cure, divides us at this moment too angrily. The attempt by one party to prohibit willing States from sharing the evil, is thought by the other to render desperate, by accumu- lation, the hope of its final eradication. If a little time, however, is given to both parties to cool, and to dispel their visionary fears, they will see that concurring in sentiment as to the evil, moral and political, the duty and interest of both is to concur also in divining a practicable process of cure. Should time not be given, and the schism be pushed to separation, it will he for a short term only ; two or three years trial will bring them back, like quarrelling lovers to renewed embraces, and increased affec- tions. The experiment of separation would soon prove to both that they had mutually miscalculated their best interests. And even were the parties in Congress to secede in a passion, the so- berer people would call a convention and cement again the sev- erance attempted by the insanity of their functionaries. With COREESPONDENOE. 183 this consoling view, my greatest grief would be for the fatal ef- fect of such an event on the hopes and happiness of the world. We exist, and are quoted, as standing proofs that a government, so modelled as to rest continually on the will of the whole socie- ty, is a practicable government. Were wfc to break to pieces, it would damp the hopes and the efforts o!f the good, and give triumph to those of the bad through the whole enslaved world. As members, therefore, of the universal society of mankind, and standing in high and responsible relation with them, it is our sacred duty to suppress passion among ourselves, and not to blast the confidence we have inspired of proof that a government of reason is better than one of force. This letter is not of facts but of opinions, as you will observe ; and although the converse is generally the most acceptable, I do not know that, in your situa- tion, the opinions of your countrymen may not be as desirable to be known to you as facts. They constitute, indeed, moral facts, as important as physical ones to the attention of the public fimc- tionary. Wishing you a long career to the services you may render your country, and that it may be a career of happiness and prosperity to yourself, I salute you with affectionate attach- ment and respect. TO MR. COKKEA. MoNTicELLO, October 24, 1 820. Your kind letter, dear Sir, of October 12th, was handed to me by Dr. Cooper, and was the first correction of an erroneous be- lief that you had long since left our shores. Such had been Colo- nel Randolph's opinion, and his had governed mine. I received your adieu with feelings of sincere regret at the loss we were to sustain, and particularly of those friendly visits by which you had made me so happy. I shall feel, too, the want of your counsel and approbation in what we are deing and have yet to do in our University, the last of my mortal cares, and the last service I can render my country. But turning from myself, throwmg egotism behind me, and looking to yom' happiness, it
