In consequence of the many calamitous fires that have recently occurred, we consider it a duty to give as much publicity as possible to the different Stations of the Fire Engines of the London Insurance Offices; so that immediate notice may be given to the resident Fire-men at the nearest Station, on the breaking out of a fire. Ratcliffe Highway-Sun. Lower East Smithfield-Imperial siding near the Leasowes, who assured me they once were Mr. Shenstone's property.' This, no doubt, was the case, having his accustomed vignette of a part of the Leasowes pasted on the inside of the covers. The notices in question were evidently written by some relative, or intimate friend, who was well acquainted with the facts thus circumstantially detailed. If a friend, probably by J. Dodsley, the surviving brother of him whose death is so particularly recorded in the MS. Nor is it unlikely (with the exception of what relates to the melancholy dissolution of Threadneedle Street, near the South Sea Spence) that they were transcribed from House-London.

A CONSTANT READER will find in Betham's Baronetage, or indeed in every Ba. ronetage, that Sir Edmund Bacon is styled the Premier Baronet, as the lineal descendant of an early Baronet. DR. BOOKER writes thus: " I feel much obliged to Mr. Urban's intelligent Correspondent, who so very handsomely corrects the venial anachronism into which I had fallen, respecting a belief of Shenstone's being the author of the notices concerning Spence. On referring to the third volume of Shenstone's Works, printed for J. Dodsley in 1769, I perceive a short note subjoined in the last Letter, stating that he died on the 11th of February 1763. The volumes whence I transcribed the MS account of Spence, &c. were presented to me by a gentleman re private memoranda of Shenstone." R. C. communicates the following information: Vol. LXXXIX. p. 572. “Lord Hill is not the brother of Lord Berwick, but a younger son of Sir John Hill, bart. of Hawkestone, Salop, a distant relative of Lord Berwick."-P. 578. "Is there not a mistake either in the copy, or in the origiual inscription of the antient ring here described? I presume it is, or was intended to be, "al as God well," that is, "as God pleases."-P. 594. "Alexander Ross's Medicus Medicatus' may be seen in the Bodleian Library, as appears by the printed catalogue, in which there is no mention of Sir T. Browne's treatise Lucis Causa et Origine"." De ANTIQUUS (vol. LXXXIX. ii. p. 482), who inquires after the family of Lambe, is referred to a pedigree of that family, under Hetton on the Hill, in Mr. Surtees' first vol. of the Hist. of Durham; the last heir, it is believed, left Anthony Storey of Newbottle his executor. T. P. remarks, "You give the statement of a Sussex Experimentalist,' the errors of which are so conspicuous, that a child who had only passed through the four first rules of arithmetic could not fail to detect them." A. Z. (p. 2) would much oblige G. H. W. by informing him, "whether John Hanger (who died in 1654) was father or brother of George, who died in 1688. The inscriptious to the Hangers in Driffield Church would be very acceptable. Sir George Hanger of Driffield, knt. was, I presume, son of George, who died in 1688. The purchaser of Driffield, John Hanger, is stated in some of the Peerages to have been of the family of Aungier." A CORRESPONDENT asks, "Is it necessary that two Churchwardens should be returned for each parish?" Mr. GODFREY will find the first of the Series of Letters from the Continent printed in p. 25 of our January Magazine. |
