one, from 1766, which wants only the volume for 1767 ; but the French edit : on of some years is supplied by the German : for some years there are both editions. The issue for 1808 is, of course, the Napoleonic substitute.

Can any of your readers say what com- plete copies of the ' Almanach,' from its commencement Tintil 1815, exist in public or private libraries ? The issues between 1774 and 1788 contain illustrations, many of them by Daniel Chodowiecki. The later issues, from 1815 onwards, are not un- common. J. F. R.

EARLS OF DERWENTWATER : DESCEND- ANTS. There are at least two families in which there is a tradition of descent from the Earls of Derwentwater, in one of them through Husseys of Bristol, whose mother was a Percival.

From such records of the Derwentwater family as I have had access to, I can find no If kely channel of such descent, and shall be gr ateful for any assistance your readers can afford me. T. M. HARVARD.

HOGARTH'S PORTRAIT OF T. MORELL, S.T.P. This portrait " Win. Hogarth, del. James Basire, sculp." faces the title-page of ' Thesaurus Graeeae Poeseos,' by T. Morell, S.T.P., Etonae, 1762.

In the ' Chronological List of Hogarth's Works ' in ' Hogarth's Works,' by John Ireland and John Nichols, F.S.A. (no date, a new edition, circa 1874), Third Series, p. 315, we read that " some impressions are without either the inscription of ' The- saurus ' or ' JEtat. 60.' '

My copy has " JEt. [not ^Eitat.] 60" on a sheet of paper on the front dexter side of the table, and " Thesarus " (not Thesaurus) at the top of a sheet of paper lying under Morell's hand. Are there copies of the print with the last word correctly spelt ? ROBERT PIERPOINT.

' HUMOURS OF HERALDRY,' BY MR. FOS- TER. Was only one paper of eight pages issued ? or were other similar pamphlets done and headed " second edition with double acrostic" ? If so, where can I obtain these ? The one I know is extraordinarily clever. E. E. COPE.
