reflects back the light of his intellect upon its pages, and infuses new life and meaning into the subjects on which it treats. That which one is not fortunate enough to seize, or not powerful enough to retain, becomes the prize of a stronger or more congenial understanding, so that by combined efforts the whole mass of information is collected and infused into the general mind; and thus (to use the illustration of an eminent writer) each separate portion or fragment of knowledge may be compared to the drops of rain which fall separately into the river, yet mix themselves at once with the stream, and strengthen the general current.

The late Archdeacon Strong, (noticed in Dec. p. 669,) resigned the rectory of Bolingbroke, where he gave 500l. towards the erection of a parsonage house, in May 1834. The vicarage of Billinghay he resigned in Oct. 1832. The Canonry was annexed to the Archdeaconry of Peterborough, a year and a half since; previously to which that ecclesiastical office was one rather of honour than profit. Dr. Strong was for many years an acting magistrate for the soke of Peterborough, and was as much esteemed in that capacity, for his kind and conciliating disposition, as for firmness and rectitude. He had ceased to act several years before his death. R. P. D. who inquires respecting the controversy between Sir Peter Leycester and Sir Thomas Mainwaring, regarding the illegitimacy of Amicia, daughter of Hugh Cyveliok Earl of Chester, will find the particulars in Ormerod's History of Cheshire, vol. i. p. 29. Mr. C. R. SMITH will be happy to enter into communication with J. P. on the site of Durolevum, should his "Remarks" in the Archæologia, vol. 29, fail to convince that Correspondent of the superior claims of Davington to those of Milton, &c. The word Dovor, referred to by J. P. (see p. 612, Nov.) is, as every one will at once perceive, an error for Rochester, in the Review. (Oct.) GRENOVICUS remarks: "In your Obituary for October last, of the Rev. Dr. Crombie, the writer states that 'he purchased at the latter place [Greenwich] the fine mansion, built on the site of the Powder Magazine, which was formerly tenanted by Sir Walter James,' &c. Now, in all the early plans which I have seen of the parish, the site of the Powder Magazine is marked close to the river side, (a situation which naturally appears most eligible for such a building), and about the spot now occupied by Messrs. Enderby's Sail-cloth Manufactory, whereas Dr. Crombie's mansion stood about 200 yards from the north-east corner of Greenwich Park." R. R. M. inquires who is the present possessor of an interleaved copy of the late Dr. Adam Clarke's Bibliographical Dictionary, sold with other portions of Dr. A. C.'s library; and also who were the auctioneers on that occasion? J. T. M. wishes for information respecting the descendants of Raleigh Mansel, of whom a female conveyed the name to one of the Dawkins's of Glamorganshire. This Raleigh was either the youngest son of Sir Francis M. of Muddlescombe, or of Sir Edward M. of Trimsaram, in Carmarthenshire. He would be obliged by copies of epitaphs relating to that family, at the end of the seventeenth, or beginning of the last century, as they might possibly furnish the information required. A. B. R. asks for particulars of the family of "Roper, Baron of Bantry, and Viscount Baltinglass," of the Irish Peerage (1622); the title is long extinct in that family, and claimed of a long prior creation (1543), by the family of Eustace. A. B. R. is aware that Lord Baltinglass had a daughter "Ruth," married in 1625, to Sir Edward Denny, Knight; also either a daughter or sister named "Mary," married to "Fuller" the Church Historian, and author of the "Worthies of England," but can learn nothing else of the family. J. N. inquires for the pedigree of Dr. Yate, Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford, from 1660 to 1681; or a reference to any particulars of the Yate family. In the 3d vol. of Ormerod's Cheshire, is a note in which the author states that the Yate pedigree, (three generations prior to Dr. Yate the Principal,) will be found in the Harleian MSS. 2161, but this must, he thinks, be an error on his part, as he has searched through the whole of that number in vain. Thoroton, in his "Antiquities of Nottinghamshire," describes a shield in the windows of Whatton Church: Sa. a chevron between 10 cross crosslets argent, but without the bearer's name; which AN INQUIRER is desirous to ascertain. A LOVER OF ANTIQUITY inquires the meaning of a device of an Otter eating a Salmon, which forms one of the bosses on the groined ceiling of the porch of Great Malvern Church. INDAGATOR, among the collateral descendants of the Plantagenets, enumerated in the Quarterly Review, Sept. 1841, finds Thomas Brome Whorwood, esq. mentioned as representing, with some others, Elizabeth Mortimer, great-greataunt of Edward IV. through Lady Lucy Stanley, wife of Sir E. Stanley, and coheir of Thomas Percy, seventh Earl of Northumberland; and would be obliged by being informed how Thomas Brome Whorwood is descended from Elizabeth Mortimer, and through what families. ERRATUM in Dec. Magazine, 1842, p. 650. for "Jamaica, wife of Albin Martin, esq." read Jemima, &c. |
