 462 . iv. DEC. 9, m NOTES AND QUERIES. Lady Morgan. Rich supported the lady by some arguments in The Daily Neivs under the title of ' The Battle of the Chairs,' and repro- duced them in this tract. After llich's return to England he built for himself, from the designs of Martineau the architect, the house called "Chappell Croft" at Heene, Worthing, and found a neighbour and friend in Byron's Trelawny, who was also a member of the Reform Club. In 1878 he informed Darwin that he intended, being an old man, almost alone in the world, to leave him " the rever- sion of the greater part of his fortune," in token of his admiration for Darwin's scien- tific work. Darwin visited him at Heene more than once, and they were occasional correspondents (' Life of Darwin,' ed. F. Darwin, iii. 217; 'More Letters of Darwin,' 1903, ii. 445-8). Rich suffered a good deal from illness through life, but he lived to exceed the great age of eighty-seven years, dying from "decay of nature" at his house of Chappell Croft on 4 April, 1891. He was buried on 9 April at Brompton Cemetery, where a small cross of Aberdeen granite was erected to his memory, with his name and the dates of his birth and death on the plinth. Rich's will was dated 22 November, 1878, and there were four codicils, dated 1885, 1886,1889, and 25 March, 1891 ; the personal estate was proved at 15,083£. Subject to a life-interest to his sister, Emma Burnaby, wife of William Dyot Burnaby, who died soon after tier brother, most of the property passed to the family of Darwin, the first codicil to the will having settled that the children should not suffer by the death of their father. He left his house of Chappell Croft and its contents, "notably a very interesting library," to Huxley, who sold the house in July, 1891, for 2,8001. Rich took much interest in botany, and was a good artist; a landscape by him is in the possession of Prof. Sir G. H. Darwin, of Cambridge. He contributed to Smith's ' Dictionary of Greek and Roman Anti- quities,' and furnished some articles to vols. i. and iii. of the First Series of ' N. & Q.' His college in 1886 paid him the compliment of electing him an Honorary Fellow (Venn's ' Gonville and Caius Coll. Biog. Hist.,' ii. 183). W. P. COURTNEY.
