MR. URBAN,

MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

Nov. 3.

In compliance with the suggestion of your Correspondent K. N., I beg leave to state, through the medium of your valuable Miscellany, that I was quite unconscious of a copy of Junius's Cædmon, with corrections by Lye or Manning, ever having had existence, until a few weeks ago, when a friend informed me that it figured in Thorpe the Bookseller's Catalogue, accompanied by the assertion that the notes to my edition of Cædmon were taken principally from those corrections.

Perhaps the "well-known Bibliopolist" will condescend to inform his customers, by what chance an assertion so grossly false found its way into his Catalogue. Yours, &c. B. THORPE.

[ocr errors]

J. M. remarks, "The late learned Historian of Greece once asked the writer of this note, what he supposed to be the object which Cæsar had in view in his invasion of Britain. Some reasons having been assigned; 'No,' he said, that was not the cause-his object was to procure slaves.' The other day, while reading Cicero's Epistles, I met with a passage which corroborates the truth of the Historian's assertion, viz.-' Britannici belli exitus exspectatur: constat enim aditus insulæ esse munitos molibus mirificis. Etiam illud jam cognitum est, neque argenti scripulum esse ullum in illa insula, neque ullam spem predæ, nisi ex Mancipiis, ex quibus nullos puto te literis aut musicis eruditos exspectare. Lib. Ep. 4. ep. 16. ad Att.

C. de R. will be obliged to any Genealogical inquirer for any particulars relative to Thomas Burton who lived at Calais in the year 1495, and Robert Limington who died at Calais in 1512. Also of Richard Limington (or Lymington) one of the same family, who was living at about the same period.

Can any of the readers of the Gent. Mag. oblige a Genealogist with an account of the Irish family of Killikelly, who, about a century ago, settled in one of the West India Islands? Their arms are Gules, a tower, supported by two lions rampant, between three crescents all Argent. Crest, an arm in armour hurling a spear, Proper.

ANTIQUARIUS proposes the following queries: What are the arguments in favour of Roger Wendover being the author of the early part of Matthew Paris, Historia Major, viz., to the year 1235?

Is not the account of Richard II.'s deposition attributed to Henry Knyghton, and published as his in Twysden's Decem Scriptores, a copy of the Roll of Parliament? or is it to be assigned to H. Knyghton as its author?-Who was the author of the Chronologia, printed in the 2d vol. of the Decem Scriptores, after Thorne's chronicle?-Nicolson says, that Stubbes (Decem Scriptores) may be frequently traced to Richard of Hexham : I should be glad to be referred to the passages. Who were the writers of the Quadrilogus de Vit. S. Thom. a Becket?— Was Lydgate's Life of S. Edmund ever printed? No. [Harleian MS.7333 and 2278.] Or Walter of Coventry's Work, or Rudborne's Historia Minor? -Is the B. R. who continued Martin's History of the Kings of England, Barnaby Riche?

Mr. Samuel Gregory inquires what arms were borne by the following Aldermen of London:

Brackley Kennett, Alderman of Cornhill Ward, Lord Mayor 1780-buried at Putney 12th May, 1782.

Robert Peckham, Alderman of Coleman-street Ward, Lord Mayor 1783. Resident or born in Kent. Died 1st July, 1814-buried at Sutton Vale, near Maidstone, Kent.

Thomas Sainsbury, Alderman of Billingsgate Ward. Resident at Merton, Surrey. Lord Mayor 1786. Died at New Court House, Devonshire, 17th May, 1795.

John Burnell, Alderman of Aldgate Ward. Lord Mayor 1787. Died 11th Jan. 1790. Buried at White Waltham, near Maidenhead, Berks.

William Pickett, Alderman of Cornhill Ward. Lord Mayor 1789. Died 17th Dec. 1796. Buried at Stoke Newington.

We are obliged by the communication of SCOPA, and his further contributions will be acceptable.

The inquiry of U. U. H. for informstion respecting the Hippesley family, is too general; he should learn what has been already published in the Baronetages, &c., and then make his inquiries.

The sonnet of ETONENSIS is declined.

We are obliged to defer our Memoirs of the late Earl Spencer, Mr. Tilford, W. R. Spencer, esq. and some others, till next month.
