him out of a mitre. Lord Crewe was a staunch friend to the abdicated Family; and as he lay dying on the marble hearth before the fire, he called out several times to my brother, saying, "Dick, don't you go over to them don't you go over to them."- Dr. Grey, long before he died, was perfectly cured of Jacobitism. He observed, that when the Pretender was at Rome, his friends here kept his birth-day, and spoke of him with concern; but when he was in Scotland, they seemed to forget him every day. "Now," said the Doctor, "if I had been King, I would have pardoned all those who shewed their unshaken loyalty openly, and hanged all his cowardly adherents, who durst not appear to serve him when their services were wanting. But, thank God, that silly business is all at an end; and the Catholicks know the sweets of living under a Protestant Prince and a free Government."

Lord Crewe buried his Lady in Steane Chapel; and when her monument was erected, he frequently took the key, retired to the chapel, and placed himself near her remains, under which he directed his own body to be placed: and there, it is presumed, he often contemplated on mortal man and immortal life: but the Sculptor having put a very ghastly-grinning alabaster skull at the bottom of the monument, he took occasion to say to Dr. Grey, "I wish, Doctor, that horrid skull had not been placed there!" The Doctor, who affectionately loved the Bishop, and wished to render his latter days as easy and happy as possi→ ble, sent to Banbury for the Artist, to consult with him whether it were not possible to turn the skull into a pleasing instead of a disagreeable object. After much consideration, the Sculptor determined that the only thing he could convert the skull into was a bunch of grapes; and that was accordingly done, and so remains to this day.-Of Lord Crewe I have given some ample Memorials in the " History of Leicestershire." His Portrait is

here annexed.

One of Dr. Grey's daughters was married to the Rev. Dr. Bowles; by whom she was left a widow, with four daughters and three sons: the eldest of whom, of Trinity College, Oxford, was designed for the Church; the second was in the physical line; and the third bred to the Law: The eldest daughter was married to the Curate of Uphill in Somersetshire.-Such was their situation in 1788, when Mr. Thicknesse published his "Memoirs ;" in which he relates some remarkable particulars relative to Archbishop Moore, who in early life had been a garçon de famille at Hinton, much esteemed by Dr. Grey and his wife, and much admired by their four daughters; and, if Mr. Thicknesse is correct, it was to Dr. Grey that the Archbishop was indebted for an introduction to the family of the Duke of Marlborough.

P. 435. Charles Daubuz.] The following brief Memoir of this excellent Scholar and Divine is given by Dr. Zouch, in a note to his Visitation Address to the Clergy of the Deanries of Richmond, Catterick, and Boroughbridge, 1792:

"Charles Daubuz, or Daubus, was born in the province of Guienne in France. His only surviving parent, Julia Daubuz, professing the Reformed Religion, was driven in 1686 from her native country by that relentless persecution which preceded the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. She, with her family, found arf asylum in England, where many of her distressed countrymen were known to enjoy an undisturbed liberty of conscience, and the free exercise of their religion. Charles her son, destined to the ministry from his earliest years, was admitted a sizar of Queen's College in the University of Cambridge Jan. 10, 1689. He obtained his first degree in Arts Jan. 13, 1693; and was appointed librarian' of his College March 21 in the same year. He continued in that appointment to August 10, 1695, when he probably left the University. A few months previous to his taking the degree of A. M. July 2, 1699, he was presented by the Dean and Chapter of York to the vicarage of Brotherton, a small village near Ferry-bridge in the West Riding of Yorkshire. This vicarage, of the annual value of sixty or seventy pounds, was all the preferment he ever enjoyed. To support a numerous and infant family (for at his death he left a widow and eight children, the eldest of whom was not fourteen years old) he was under the necessity of engaging himself in the education of several gentlemen's sons in the neighbourhood. Notwithstanding his contracted income, he made some additions to the vicarage-house.-Three years ago, when part of it was repaired, three golden coins of the reign of Louis XIV. were found in the wall, which were no doubt placed there by Mr. Daubuz. He was a constant resident in his parish until the time of his death. His remains were interred in the church-yard of Brotherton, at the East end of the church. A neat marble slab, erected to his memory, is still extant near the East window in the church, the inscription on which is now almost defaced. He is said to have been in his person tall and graceful- of a strong and healthy constitution— of a swarthy complexion-wearing his own black hair flowing in curlshis voice full of energy, with a most persuasive and impressive delivery of his sermons. He always retained the character of a pious, humble, and benevolent man. His parishioners, who long regretted the loss of their excellent pastor, loved and respected · him. Claudius, one of his sons, educated at Catherine Hall in Cambridge [B. A. 1726, M. A. 1749], was honoured with the notice of the family of the Ramsdens of Byrom, in the parish of Brotherton. He was for some time vicar of Huddersfield, Yorkshire; and was afterwards presented by Sir George Savile, bart. to a valuable living in Nottinghamshire. He died at Pontefract, Sept. 13, 1760, in the 56th year of his age, and was buried near his father. His memory is held in much estimation at Huddersfield, where he is frequently spoken of as a clergyman of great learning and merit.

"Mr. Daubuz, the subject of this paper, always discovered a most ardent attachment to sacred literature. Those intervals of leisure

leisure which his employments afforded him he devoted to his professional studies. In the privacy of his retirement at Brotherton, unpatronised and unrewarded, with scarce a single smile or favour to exhilarate his labours or to animate his pursuits, he composed the whole of his 'Perpetual Commentary on the Revelation of St. John,' with a learned and elaborate Preliminary Discourse concerning the principles upon which that Revelation is to be understood. Were I inclined to use the embellishments of panegyrick, I might expatiate at large upon his singular modesty his most extensive and strictly accurate knowledge of the Greek and Latin Authors his happy application of that knowledge in elucidating the words of Prophecy-his intimate acquaintance with the symbolical character and language of the Eastern Nations-his temperate and discreet judgment, totally removed from the indulgence of fancy and capricious conjecture. The following anecdote was communicated to me from the best authority: When he had finished his Commentary, he went to Cambridge to consult Dr. Bentley, the great Critick of the age. The Doctor, as it is supposed, thinking that Mr. Daubuz would out-shine him in learning and eclipse his glory, or, which is more probable, knowing that works of that kind, however excellent they might be, were little relished in those times, did not encourage him to publish it. Upon which Mr. Daubuz returned home, wearied in body and unhappy in mind, sickened of a pleuritic fever, and died in a few days. The book was published soon after his death."

To the preceding Memoir may be added, that Mr. Daubuz was, for a short time, master of the Free Grammar-school in Sheffield, succeeding Thomas Balguy, B. A. grandfather to the Rev. Thomas Balguy, D. D. archdeacon of Winchester. To this office Mr. Daubuz was elected on the 23d September 1696.

A marble in the chancel of Brotherton is thus inscribed: . "Near the East window in the Church-yard lie interred the remains of CHARLES DAUBUZ, formerly Vicar of this Parish, who departed this life 14th June 1717, aged 43 years. And of CLAUDIUS DAUBUZ his son, late Rector of Bilsthorpe and Prebendary of Southwell in Nottinghamshire, who died the 13th of September 1760, aged 56 years. Both eminent for piety, virtue, and learning;

they lived beloved, and died universally lamented.

Also JULIA DAUBUZ widow, and mother of Charles Daubuz (who with her family in the year 1686 left France, their native country, to avoid the severe persecution against the Reformed), died the 8th of December 1714, aged 77 years. And JOHN and CHARLES Sons of Charles Daubuz : John died June 21, 1723, aged 8 years. Charles November 18th, 1728, aged 18 years."

genius, and indefatigable in labour and study, he became learned in Divinity, Antient History, Chronology, Philosophy, and Mathematics. Fertile in sentiment, copious in language, skilful to convey instruction, he introduced the Newtonian Philosophy, then buried in the deepest recesses of Geometry, into public knowledge, and thereby displayed the wonderful works of God. More desirous to discover his will, he applied himself chiefly to the examination and study of the Holy Scriptures. Resolved to practise it, he sacrificed great worldly advantages, and greater expectations, that he might preserve the testimony of a good conscience. Firmly persuaded of the truth and importance of Revealed Religion, he exerted his utmost ability to enforce the evidence, to explain the doctrines, and promote the practice, of Christianity; worshiping God with the most profound submission and adoration, the supreme Majesty of the One God and Father of All, through the intercession and mediation of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the grace and influence of the Holy Spirit and testifying the sincerity of his profession by the due obedience of a holy life. Strictly tenacious of his integrity, equally fervent in piety and charity, ardent to promote the glory of God and the good of mankind, zealous in the pursuit of truth and the practice of virtue, he persevered with faith and patience, stedfast and immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, through many trials and much tribulation, to the end of his course, full of days and ripe for Paradise, in a firm assurance of a joyful resurrection to everlasting life and happiness. Now, Reader, whoever thou art, if thou canst not attain to the measure of his learning and knowledge, yet it is in thy power to equal him in piety, probity, holiness, and other Christian graces; and thou mayest hereby obtain, together with him, through the mercies of God and merits of Christ, an everlasting crown of glory.”

P. 505, 1. 2. "George Whiston was generally called and considered as an M. D. He resided at St. Alban's, in a very small house, where he is still well remembered; and his principal employment consisted in attending the tea and card parties of all the old ladies in the town.-On conversing with an old inhabitant of this neighbourhood, I find he disclaims the idea of George Whiston having been a M. D.; and says, he had rather an idea of his having been once connected with his brother John; and that he fancies he died about 1774 or 1775. He lived here upon his little income, much respected by the few with whom he associated, as a very intelligent, well-informed man; and, when he died, was carried away from hence, and buried somewhere else." J. BROWN.

Ibid. Mr. Daniel Whiston "was Curate at Somersham 52 years, for conscience-sake, as is expressed on the monument erected to his memory in the chancel by his son, the Rev. Thomas Whiston, Minister of Ramsay. He had before served the curacy of Horseheath, co. Cambridge; and was once in danger

of

of losing this, but for the interposition of Dr. Clarke with a noble Peer in the neighbourhood. When he was persecuted by Thomas Hammond, esq. the very learned Dr. Clarke made application in his behalf to the famous Sarah Duchess of Marlborough She wrote a very sharp letter to Mr. Hammond, desiring he would desist; if he would not, she would defend Mr. Whiston, at her own expence, in every Court in the Kingdom. This circumstance saved him from the violence of the High Church Squire. He was offered several livings, but would not accept of any, as he refused to subscribe to the use of the Athanasian Creed. His "Primitive Catechism" was published by his brother William, with improvements. In the same chancel has also been erected another monument for his only daughter, Susannah West, a pious, learned, and excellent woman, who died about two years since; and for his only son, Mr. Thomas Whiston, beforementioned, who was then living; his sister's name is at top, his own at bottom. The inscription for him is very modest, being the last words of the late Lord Roscommon, who died in Italy: My GOD, my Father, and my Friend, Do not forsake me at my end." ·

Camden, Britannia, edit. 1790, vol. II. p. 159. Mr. Thomas Whiston was of Trinity College, Cambridge; but the only degree he took was that of M. A. 1735. He was long confined to his house by infirmity; and died in June 1795, aged S2, leaving a widow. Mr. Noble acknowledges his obligations to him for the Memoirs of Cromwell; and so does Mr. Gough, in his History of that Family in the Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica, No. XXXI.

P. 525. "Nicholas Oudart, esq. was born at Mechlin in Brabant, and brought from beyond the seas by Sir Henry Wotton, who afterwards trusted him with his domestic affairs. He went Secretary to Sir William Boswell, Ambassador to the States, 1640; studied Physick, of which Faculty he was Bachelor in January 1642-3; about which time he became Secretary to Sir Edward Nicholas, one of the Secretaries of State at Oxford; and afterwards attending King Charles I. in the Treaty in the Isle of Wight, 1648, lived for some time obscurely. At length he became Secretary to the Princess of Orange, then Latin Secretary to William Prince of Orange, and of his Council, in which capacity he continued in 1669; and was afterwards Latin Secretary to King Charles II. He died in Little Dean's Yard, Westminster, about Christmas 1681." Wood, Athenæ Oxonienses Fusti, II. 269.
