SIR STEPHEN GLYNNE'S CHURCH NOTES.

IT should be placed on record in ' N. & Q.' that there is preserved in the library of St. Deiniol's Hostel at Hawarden (which is one of the forms of memorial of the late Mr. William Ewart Gladstone) a series of MS. notes on the churches of our land, made by Sir Stephen Glynne between about 1828 and his death in June, 1874. These notes are very full and fairly accurate, and contain records of many items of church furniture which have been since " improved " away, and of which they are probably the only notes preserved.

Antiquaries all over England may like to know of these books, which the Warden (Canon Joyce) courteously permits accredited persons to inspect.

The nature of the material will be gathered f r om the following list, showing the number , f churches visited by Sir Stephen Glynne j*n the counties specified : Bedfordshire 50 Cumberland 25

The eldest son of Gladstone (the late Mr. William Henry Gladstone) published the Kent notes in 1877 ; and the Chetham Society those for Lancashire and Cheshire in 1893 and 1894 respectively. Other notes are in course of publication by the local societies for Durham, Northumberland, Notts, Yorkshire, and Wales. I have had tran- scribed all the notes for Devon and Cornwall, and Cumberland and Westmorland, and hope they will shortly be published. The other notes should receive the attention of the various local societies, and be reproduced in their respective Journals. I should be glad to render the secretaries any help I can in this direction, as I frequently visit St. Deiniol's. Communications should be sent to me direct.

These notes form an immense mass of ecclesiological material well worth putting on permanent record.

UNPUBLISHED SONGS BY T. L. PEACOCK.

BBIMLEY JOHNSON in the remarks which preface the * Songs from the Novels of Thomas Love Peacock,' published in " The York Library" in 1904, states that his collected poetry has deservedly been for- gotten, but that many of the songs and lyrics in the novels have been admitted to be pre-eminent in their kind. In the more exhaustive edition of Peacock's poetical works edited by him in " The New Universal Library " in 1905 he has, however, reprinted all the longer poems contained in Sir Henry Cole's 1875 edition of Peacock's works, and omitted probably through not knowing of their existence the songs con- tained in the three unpublished plays ' The Dilettanti,' ' The Circle of Loda,' and ' The
