teaches him to despise and violate the courteous civilities of Life, and substitutes asperity for kindness, and selfishness for charity. This fortunately has not taken place among ourselves; but it has, in no common degree, among our Neighbours. In this respect, example will do much, and perseverance more. Sorry indeed should we be, to see the manly and dignified demeanour of Englishmen exchanged for grimace, affectation, and coxcombry; but still more painful would it be, to see it marked by rudeness, and characterised by ferocity. The great preventive of these and similar evils, is the peaceful cultivation of Science. Here we feel ourselves in our own element; and let us earnestly hope, that we shall not again be called upon to discuss other subjects, than those which Cicero calls exercitationes ingenii et curricula mentis. We shall not again, we seriously flatter ourselves, have to lament in our Prefatory Addresses, "rerum publicarum eversiones, Patriæ proditiones, aut cum hostibus clandestina colloquia." Far different scenes and occupations present themselves; here we shall continue to exercise our best talents and greatest diligence, secure, as for the greatest part of a Century we have been, of the aid of the wise, the good, and the ingenious. At this point, we might perhaps without impropriety, close our communication for the present, with our Readers: but it would have the appearance of cold insensibility and indifference, not to felicitate them on the accomplishment of our common hopes and wishes, and without participating with them, in the exultation arising from the idea, that Babylon, the mighty Babylon, is fallen! that Society is relieved from the hurden of the greatest Pest that ever molested its tranquillity, or contaminated the sources of its safety; of the fall of one, of whom most truly may it be said— Nec nostræ potuere preces inflectere durum, Nec Divum portenta animum, quin arctius ignem Finally, let us return, as we are bounden in gratitude to do, our hearty thanks for the generous and uninterrupted Patronage which has encouraged and rewarded our labours. We have found it salutary to ourselves, useful to others, and beneficial to the general cause in which we are engaged, to pursue one undeviating path, which no prejudice or partiality of any kind, has ever induced us to forsake. Tros Tyriusque nobis nullo discrimine agetur. Criticism may sometimes inflict a wound where none was intended, Vanity may occasionally imagine that its claims are neglected, Curiosity may by chance inquire for that, which cannot be found, and Impatience may complain, that its unreasonable expectations are not anticipated: but we will pledge ourselves, that there never shall exist any just-imputation on our vigilance, our honour, or our justice.

July 14. The sum total, for three months, BY the kindness of a worthy Friend appears by the following acquittal: who is at this time Master of the Company of Stationers, I have now before me what I have reason to think would be considered as a very great curiosity by the Society of Antiquaries, or perhaps still more so by the Worshipful Company of Apothe caries; or it would form an excellent appendage to a new Edition of the Progresses of Queen Elizabeth." It is an original document, fairly written on four sides of a strong foolscap sheet of paper, folded lengthways; and is thus titled, "Hugh Morgan, her Maties Apothecarie, askith alowance for thes parcelles following; viz. for her Matiesowne person; from the 24th day of June 1588, beying Mydsomer day, unto the xxixth day off Septembr 1588, beying Mychaelmas day, to be payd by the Treasurer of her High ness Chambr." A very few of the Items shall be here transcribed: "Confectio in forma manus Christi cum lapide bezohardi & cornu monoceratis, ex mandato Reginæ, pro D'nå Skipwith, xis. Thragea regal' cum rhabarbaro in scisso, ex mandato Reginæ, pro Domina Scudamore, xvid. Aqua rosarum, pro Legato Regis Navarræ, xiid.

Gargles occur frequently, and now and then hysteric and diuretic medicines; but I forbear to look too minutely into the prescriptions for a Virgin Queen. Articles of perfumery also are numerous, particularly "Suffitus odoriferus" and "Aqua rosarum;" the latter of which seems to have been used abundantly, in the Chapel, in the Royal chamber, in the Dressing-room, in the Supper-room (pro coenaculo), in the Wardrobe, in the Laundry, and for Richmond Palace, 'pro domo Richemount," "Receyved the vth day of December 1588, of the right ho. Sr Thom's Henneage Knight, Thr'er of her Maties Chamber, by force hereo, iiiixx iiil. viiis. viiid. HUGO MORGAN, Pharmacopæus.” Yours, &c. Mr. URBAN, CARADOC. Ju N addition to the Biogranical no 66 'count of the late Pared quary, Sir John Fenn, given in loe 8th Vol. of Nichols's “I ftern y Anecdotes," p. 139, I send the inscription on his Monument, on the North side of the Chancel of Finningham Church, in Suffolk. This elegant Monument is from the chisel of the celebrated Bacon; and, it is almost needless to add, beautifully sculptured. It exhibits a female figure, i bas relief, kneeling, with her head reclining on her right hand, and bending over an altar monument, the front of which is divided into three compartments; on the centre one are sculptured the arms of Fenn, impaling those of Frere; the other two are ornamented with quatrefoils. It is unfortunately placed in a bad light, and a damp situation. W. L. "In memory of Sir JOHN FENN of East Dereham, in the County of NORFOLK, Knight; whose worth as a son, a husband, a neighbour, and a friend, will be remembered, and his loss lamented, till those to whom he stood in these several relations shall cease to exist.-As a Magistrate, his acuteness of discernment, and integrity of decision, rendered him respected by all around him. And when called upon (in 1791) to serve the office of High Sheriff of the County of NORFOLK, he paid a very landable attention to the dignity and decorum of the station. Having made deep researches into the darkest and most turbulent period of our History, he was strongly impressed with government, and saw but too plainly a sense of the blessing of good order and how much the present neglect of externals tended to weaken and overturn them.-On the 1st of January, 1766, he was united in marriage to ELLENOR, the daughter of SHEPPARD FRERE, Esq. and SUSANNA SUSANNA his Wife; and, that her union with him might not separate her from the rest of her Friends, he most kindly directed his own remains to be interred in the Vault beneath, destined to the reception of her Family. He died Feb. 14, 1794, in the 55th year of his age." Mr. URBAN, July 5. HE Autho of the "Literary Tanecdotes will permit me to correct a single word in his vol. VIII. p. 88. The avowed Author of Thelyphthora" was the Rev. Martyn Madan, Chaplain to the Lock Hospital; elder brother to the late venerable ceterarvm decvs et fvndamentvm, Pietas: Fidei Evangelicae, Bishop of Peterborough, who (as his qvalem Ecclesia Anglicana semper exhi surviving eldest son, the Chancellor and Prebe dary of Peterborough, does) bore the name of Spencer. Allow me farther to observe, that, in the brief Memoir of Dr. John Warren (successively Bishop of St. David's and Bangor) p. 431, it is mentioned that 66 his first preferment was Archdeacon of Worcester 1775, by favour of Bp. Johnson, who was his Nephew." This statement is certainly erroneous. Doctor John Warren, Bishop of St. David's, never was Archdeacon of Worcester;-nor was he a relation of Bp. Johnson's.-The fact is, that The Dr. John Warren, Archdeacon of Worcester, was a nephew of Bp. Johnson -not Bp. Johnson a nephew of Dr. Warren; and Dr. Warren, Archdeacon of Worcester, was of a very dif ferent family from that of Dr. Warren, Bp. of St. David's-which the Rev. Dawson Warren, Vicar of Edmonton, who is a nephew of the late Archdeacon of Worcester, can more particularly explain. M.
