NOTES AND QUERIES.

313

new volume of the monumental ' History of Northumberland ' deals with the parish of Corbridge, and includes much upon Dilston (see pp. 276-305). There are in this book a pedigree printed on linen of ' Radcliffe of Dilston and Derwentwater ' (facing p. 280) ; a list of Radeliffe family por- traits, pp. 285-6 ; and heraldry of the Lords of Dilston, pp. 304-5. See also Saturday Review, 17 Oct., 1868, pp. 520-21; 'Cele- brated Claimants' (1873), pp. 246-55; and f Observations on the Radcliffe Pedigree,' in Arch. dUliana, 2nd Series, vol. vii. pp. 14-17. In the Jackson Library at Tullie House, Carlisle, are three volumes of ' Collections for the Genealogy and History and Estates of the Family of Radcliffe, Earls of Derwent- water,' compiled by Richard James Bell. The grant of arms made to the Lady Mary Tudor upon her marriage with Edward Radoliffe, afterwards second Earl of Der- wentwater, dated 4 Aug., 1687, is printed in The Genealogist, 1st Series, vol. iii. pp. 280- 281. The Household Accounts of the first Earl of Derwentwater, for 1681-2 and 1686-7, are printed in Arch. JEliana, 1st Series, vol. i. pp. 104-16, and vol. ii. pp. 159- 164. Similar accounts for 1688-9 are in the possession of Mr. R. O. Heslop. Of Charles Radcliffe, who was captured on the Jacobite rising of 1745, there are many contemporary lives. For a list of these see foot-note to Craster's ' History of Cor- bridge,' p. 300. See also ' Report of the Commissioners for Forfeited Estates,' 1717.

A curious uncertainty has surrounded the death of John Radcliffe, only son of James, Earl of Derwentwater, beheaded in 1716. The former has been said (1) to have died in France from the effects of an accident at the age of 19 ; (2) to have died in London ; (3) to have died in Austria at a good old age, leaving two sons behind him (Tomlinson's ' Northumberland ' [1888], 126).

A document of which particulars have lately appeared in Ars Qiiatuor Corona- torum, vol. xxvii. 63, and which was written during the lifetime of Charles Radcliffe, and therefore not later than 1746, says :

" James Earl of Darwentwater left issue one Son named John and one D.uighter : the Son lived to the age of Seventeen Years and dyed in the begin- ning of the Year 1732 ; the Daughter is still living. The said Charles Radcliffe was in the year 1716 attainted also for high Treason committed at Preston and is still living."

CLERKENWELL TEA - GARDENS : CROM- WELL'S GARDENS (11 S. x. 267). My copy of ' The Art of Living in London ' is dated 1784, and on the fly-title bears the inscrip- tion in Park's handwriting : " Gift of Richard Dalton, Esq., to T. Park, 1785." This is probably the first edition. Park has bound up the pamphlet with several other poetical tracts, some of which he has annotated and illustrated with manu- script extracts, including the original auto- graph copy of one poem, but ' The Art- of Living in London ' he has left severely alone.

During many years' study of London literature I have never come across the mention of any place of public entertain- ment called " Cromwell's Gardens " in Clerkenwell, or in any locality except Brornpton. The public takes a long time to familiarize itself with changes in topo- graphical nomenclature. To this day I always think of Marylebone Road and Euston Road as the New Road, and Regent Circus comes trippingly on my tongue instead of Piccadilly Circus. Hence, though Cromwell's Gardens may have changed its name under new ownership in 1780 or 1781, people in 1784 probably still gave it its old appellation. The expression " once cele- brated " would refer to its quondam cele- brity as Cromwell's reputed residence, and not to any celebrity it may have enjoyed as a place of entertainment.

STATUES AND MEMORIALS IN THE BRITISH ISLES: MATTHEW ARNOLD (11 S. x. 227, 275). I am greatly obliged to DR. CLIPPING- DALE for so kindly drawing iny attention to the memorial to Dr. Arnold in Laleham Church. I was not before aware of its existence, and shall be glad if some one - will be good enough to supply a copy of the inscription.

Matthew Arnold was buried at Laleham on 19 April, 1888. A plain white marble headstone marks the spot. Beneath a raised cross is inscribed :

Matthew Arnold, eldest son of the late Thomas Arnold, D.D., Head Master of Rugby School. Born December 24, 1822. Died April 15, 1888. "There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and joyful gladness for such as are truehearted."

Four of Matthew Arnold's children are also buried at Laleham ; and there, too, was [aid to rest his widow in July, 1901.
