It was his lot to unite the deepest learning, and the most brilliant wit and talents, with touchingly amiable and unaffected simplicity. Educated from his early youth in the intimate society of his kinsman, Edmund Burke, he was noticed and es

Mr. URBAN,

ACCIDENTALLY lighting on some old papers, I found an odd number of "The Mercury, or Advertisements concerning Trade," for May 16 to May 23, 1678, containing the following notice respecting Crosby House, to which no allusion is made in the Descriptive Account, published by E. I. Carlos.

"At Crosby House, in Bishopsgatestreet, WHERE THE LATE GENERAL POST OFFICE WAS KEPT, there will be held a public sale of a very considerable quantity of goods, lately belonging to a person deceased, being fine tapestry hangings, new and old, with carpets, damask, mohair, and other rich beds, bedding," &c. &c. And further, among the goods for sale, is the advertisement of " A very good Chariot," and "A Black Girl, about 15 years of age, to be sold. Enquire at the Office, Royal Exchange, London; and on Monday, the 27th, will come on the sale of Dr. Worsley's, and two other libraries." The arms on the Engraved Wooden Tankard, lately on sale at Hertford, as described in your Mag. for 1830, vol. c. i. 352, are ascertained to have belonged to the family of Baynard, of Blagdon, Somersetshire, and Lackham, in Wiltshire.* Arms, quarterly, 1 & 4, Sable, a fess between two chevrons Or, for Baynard. 2 & 3, Or, an eagle displayed Gules, for Bluett. Crest: A demi-unicorn salient Or, armed and crined Sable. Supporters, two unicorns Or, armed, unguled, and crined Sable. The initials probably may have been intended for I. B. instead of I. R. HENRY GWYN.

In the article on the Playters family, in our last Number, the following correc. tions should be made: p. 125, line 1, for Sir Charles, read Sir William-John; line 12, and p. 126, line 6, read John Playters, esq. (son of Sir John the seventh Baronet)," &c.; line 35, Martha-Patena, wife of the last Baronet, died at Brompton, Aug. 14, 1825 (see our vol. xcv. ii. 188, where he is styled Wm. John Playters, esq.). Our correspondent D. A. Y. informs us that Elizabeth, daughter of John Playters, esq. (of Yelverton) by his first marriage (and half-sister to the last Baronet,) was married in 1758 to John Norris, esq. of Wichingham in Norfolk; but whether she left any issue he does not know. Another correspondent, W. C. states, that "Sir William has not only left a widow [her maiden name he does not mention], but a daughter, the wife of Robert Moore, esq." He adds: "with re

spect to Mr. Lewis's claims as heir-atlaw, supposing this lady to be out of the question, surely he cannot be aware that all consanguinity, ex parte patris, must be extinguished before an heir-at-law is sought from the maternal side; and even supposing that not a paternal relation of the late Baronet remains (a fact very improbable), and his heir-at-law is his relation through his mother's family, yet not having any blood of Playters in his veins, he can have not the most remote claim upon the title of Baronet."

Y. Z. suggests to the Delegates of the press in the University of Oxford, a collected edition of James's English works. He was, it need hardly be said, Bodley's first head-librarian, and is well deserving such an honour. It is quite unnecessary to point out the laborious erudition of his writings, or their suitableness to the present times, and it is to be hoped that works equally valuable and equally called for, may always issue from the University press. The design now carried into execution of reprinting Strype's works, was excellent; it is a most valuable series. It is desirable that in all reprints of old books, the dates, &c. subjoined to prefaces and introductions, be retained. They are often omitted. The modern editions of Bp. Jewel's Apology, never have the date of Peter Martyr's letter.

A. inquires what were the arms, crest, and motto of Sir James Burrow, Knt. P.R.S., V.P. S. A. Master of the Crown Office, ob. 1782. He was proprietor of Sterburgh Castle, Surrey, and was buried at Lingfield Church, in the same county. -His arms were, we believe, Azure, three fleurs-de-lis Argent; between the upper two a star Argent. The crest and motto we do not find. EDIT.

Mr. T. N. INCE, of Wirksworth, enquires at what period the Governors of Etherington's Charity for the Blind, altered the age of admission from 50 to 60 years; their reasons, and their authority for so doing? He states that a respectable female, blind from childhood, named Hannah Peal, of Wirksworth, failed in obtaining the charity, although she had been a regular applicant for it, from the age of 42 to 57 years! namely, from 1816 to 1830. On her first application it was admitted that she possessed every requisite but age, and that at 50 years of age she would become eligible. In 1824, having attained the age of 50, she renewed her application, but in reply was informed, that in consequence of a new regulation, she could not receive the charity till she attained the age of 60. She died in February 1831, aged 57, and therefore never received the benefit of the institution."
