AN OLD CORRESPONDENT observes, "Mr. Lysons, in Magna Britannia,' quotes the following entry in the Parish Accounts of Isleworth in the year 1655: Received of the Countess of Sunderland for her Rate for the Poor for Half a Year, 15s.' This proves,' says Mr. Lysons, 'that the Countess of Sunderland resided at Isleworth in her widowhood,' 1655. Here is a mistake. The Countess of Sunderland (Waller's Sacharissa) was not then a widow. She was the wife of Mr. Smyth of Bounds, in Kent, whom she married in 1652. How she became resident at Isleworth I do not understand. Perhaps one of your Correspondents may inform me, and add some particulars of this Countess of Sunderland after she became the wife of Mr. Smyth. When and where did Mr. Smyth die?-In Mr. Nichols's Literary Anecdotes,' vol. iv. p. 555, it is said that at the sale of Dr. Ducarel's Library, several of Mr. Gale's MSS. were purchased by Mr. Gough, and among them his account of Barden, Tunbridge Wells, &c. with a List of the Pictures at Penshurst. Pray who is now in possession of these papers relating to Barden, &c. I do not see any mention of them in the printed Catalogue of Mr. Gough's MSS."

In vol. xxvI. p. 224, Dr. Pegge, (under the signature of P. GEMSEGE,) mentioned having in his possession, a copy of "MeTanthe," a Latin Pastoral, acted before King James at Cambridge, March 10, 1614-15. "In this exemplar," says he, "which for merly belonged to Matthew Hutton, the names of the Masters of Arts and Batchelors, concerned in acting the Play, are written against the respective Dramatis Personæ. The Editor of King James's Progresses respectfully requests of the present owner of this volume, or of any person possessing a transcript of the list of performers, a copy of the same.

M. having inquired, in p. 2, whether NIYON, &c. is to be found elsewhere than at St. Martin's, A. H. says, "he may see it painted on the exergue of the copper cover to the font at Dulwich College. When I was compiling my work of Pietas Londinensis, this College and its Font came under a due portion of study, and it gave rise to a correspondence with the late Rev. Dr. Parr, with whose critical observations I had the pleasure to enrich my pages."

S. N. is informed that the person commemorated by that laconic memorial "Miserrimus" in Worcester Cathedral, was the unhappy Rev. Thomas Morris, who at the Revolution in 1688 refused to acknowledge the King's supremacy, and was deprived of all ecclesiastical preferments. His necessities

then entitled him to support, which he received in the liberality and generosity of some affluent Jacobins. He died in 1748, at the age of 88; and it was his last request to the friend who witnessed his final exit, that no monumental table should relate who he had been, but that he had died as he had lived, "Miserrimus."

NEPOS remarks, on the List of Roman Catholic Nonjurors in 1715, which was printed in our last Suppl. p. 603, that the Correspondent who sent it must stand convicted of playing a hoax on Mr. Urban, and needlessly filling his columus with what is already preserved in its proper repository, Shaw's "History of Staffordshire." It is copied from that work, with the introduction word for word, "General History," pp. 84, 85. The "Staffordshire Tract," from which Mr. Shaw took it, was itself a reprint of part of an octavo volume of 160 pages, published in London in 1745, containing the names of all the Nonjurors in England and Wales. The latter is dedicated to George II. by James Cosin, son of the "principal Clerk in the Accountant General's Office," and was avowedly "published, at this time, with no other view but to assist the Magistrates and other Officers who shall happen to be entrusted with the execution of such orders of Government, as either have already been, or may hereafter be issued, for suppressing the growth and unhappy effects of the present rebellious insurrection in the North." Now had our Correspondent communicated the Nonjurors of any other County from this volume, our columns had been more usefully employed. We do not know, however, that the book is rare. Every County Historian should certainly follow Mr. Shaw's example in giving the list of Nonjurors of his County, and another of those who compounded for their estates in the Civil War; and we would recommend an alphabetical arrange
