We have been favoured with numerous minute corrections and additions from "R." and "D. A. Y." on the Compendium for Suffolk. The latter will please to recollect that it is not our Compendium, but that we insert it as sent by our Correspondent S. T. to whom we shall therefore hand over such communications as we may receive. To "D. A. Y." we briefly hint, that it is not wonderful for a resident in a County to be enabled to point out errors in a paper drawn up by a gentleman who has not so accurate a local knowledge, but who relies principally on established topographical works for his information.

J. N. will be much obliged by any Biographical Notices of Gilbert Dugdale, author of "Time Triumphant, 1604;" of the two Alexanders, Sigismund and Henry, prominent features in the Court Revells; of Thomas Giles, Director of the Court Dances in 1610; and of John Alleyne, a famous singer in the service of the Queen.

Our Reviewer informs F. S. that the line of Pope, "Shakes his white plumes," &c. is a mere interpolation of that paraphrast: for the original (Iliad, lib. xiii. line 754, 'Hex. nau weunon, &c.) has not a word about plumes of feathers.

LANCELOT informs ROWLEY, p. 290, that there is in the possession of a neighbour a little book, entitled "Bibli Summula," printed in 1621, and thus dedicated: "Generosissimo ac optimæ spei adolescentulo 'Poningsio More, eruditæ pietatis maximum incrementum, à Domino precatur Johannes Shaw." This was Sir Poyuings More of Loseley near Guilford, Surrey, created a Baronet in 1642, but I believe now extinct. The dedication includes six 12mo pages, and contains some family information. The book is neat and entire as when printed.

Mr. T. WEBB, of Sowtin, near Exeter, in reply to VIATOR, p. 290, states that he has been given to understand, on good authority, that he is the representative of General Webb;" but he does not produce his authority.

-n-* remarks, "The article in page 212, about Littlecote in Wilts, will admit of several additions. The Darells were a branch of those of Sesay in Yorkshire, which house of Sesay ended in Sir Geo. Darell, who died in 1466, leaving a daughter and heir Joan, married to Sir George Dawney, ancestor of Viscount Downe. (See Collins's Peerage, by Brydges, vol. VIII. p. 455.)

T. S. observes, "In your Magazine for August, you mention that the Commissioners for the improvement of the Western part of the Metropolis intend removing the shabby buildings near Charing Cross. I much wish they would determine upon an improvement that would be a general accommodation; the making au opening in a line with Coventry-street into Leicester-square, and from thence to St. Martin's-lane, and the widening the West end of New-street.

A. H. would be obliged by any information that would enable him to recover the original pedigree of the family of Alexander, Earls of Sterling in Scotland, brought down to 1743, and the re-grant or new patent of creation to that peerage.

S. wishes to obtain any particulars of the family of John Sturt, the celebrated engraver, who was born at London 1658, and who engraved in 1694 an elegy on Queen Mary in so small a size that it might be set in a ring or locket. He also asks are there now any descendants from the above John Sturt, and who were his parents and an

cestors?
