Lord Chancellor Bacon, your Lordship's name is recorded among us, and that so noble a triumvirate were all members of our Society; we therefore, the Master and Senior Fellows of Trinity College, esteeming it a duty we owe not only to your Lordship but to our Society not to be silent upon so great an occasion, have appointed two of our Fellows, Dr. Baker and Dr. Rudd, personally to wait upon and to congratulate your Lordship in our names and behalf, being with all veneration and respect-May it please your Lordship, your Lordship's most devoted and humble servants, &c. &c. &c."

After this it is needless to quote the complimentary couplets of Eusden, the Laureate, who must, however, have been a fool as well as a flatterer to have told the Chancellor to his face that "Prophetic Granta" saw greatness omened in him, and that "she could not teach as fast as he could learn," if there had been any doubt about his having been bred at that university.

'3rd. One word on the statement made as to Lord Macclesfield's latter years. His family never heard of his retirement to Derbyshire, and have no manner of doubt that he did live at Shirburn Castle, his seat in Oxfordshire, and occasionally visited London. His cellar-book happens to be extant, and it gives sufficient proof of this. I have from the family that he was building a house in St. James's Square when he died the same which was afterwards inhabited by his son.

'I send this note to the Editor in the persuasion that he will insert it in his forthcoming Number, seeing that from his having not unnaturally placed confidence in the accuracy of Lord Campbell's details, a wider currency has been given to them-and that even if, as may be anticipated, Lord Campbell corrects them in future editions of his book, that correction may never reach many readers of the Quarterly Review.'

ERRATUM.
