'HAM HOUSE,' BY MRS. ROTJNDELL. Having lately looked through the chapter on the children of the Duchess of Lauderdale in Mrs. Roundell's beautiful work on ' Ham House,' and having made considerable researches with regard to them and their history, I beg to point out some defects and omissions in the chapter.

In the first place, the authoress says that they were all probably born at Helmingham. But two of them certainly were baptized at Great Fakenham, viz., Elizabeth, Lady Lome, on 26 July, 1659, and William Tolmach in February, 1662. The Countess of Dysart lived at Fakenham in order to bring up her children at Bury School.

Secondly, Mrs. Roundell says that " the third son and youngest child was named William. He was in the navy, and died in the West Indies, whilst a youth."

This is hardly correct. He was captain of H.M.S. the Jersey, captured after his death by the French, and lost on a rock by them ; and he died of yellow fever, probably on 25 May, 1691, so that he was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years of age. Mrs. Roundell seems quite unacquainted with the story of the duel in Paris in 1680 in which William Tolmach killed the Hon. William Carnegie, of which a full account, with documents detailing the trial, is given by Sir William Fraser in the history of the Carnegies. She also seems not to have examined the Lauder- dale MS. correspondence in the British Museum, in which are signatures of the Duchess ; nor the State papers on the trial and outlawry of William Tolmach, and the other State papers as to his trial in the West
