' The Antiquities of St. Peter's, or, the Abbey-Church of Westminster,' third edition,

1722, attributed to Jodocus Crull, vol. i. p. 136, gives us the children of Queen Anne ~ ; reposited in the Vaults of this Chapel" (i.e., King Henry VII. 's Chapel) :

The Lady Anna Sophia.

The Lady Mary.

Another Lady Mary.

The Lord George.

William, Duke of Gloucester.

Besides two or three children that were stillborn.

John Dart, in his ' Westmonasterium> or, the History and Antiquities of the Abbey Church of St. Peters, Westminster,'

1723, vol. ii. p. 52, gives the following list :

Daughter, stillborn, 12 May, 1684.

Lady Mary, born '2 June, 1685, died 8 February,

1686. Anna Sophia, born 12 May, 1686, died 2 Februarv,

1686/7.

An abortive male child. October, 1687. William, Duke of Gloucester, died 30 July, 1700,

in his twelfth year. Lady Mary, born in October, 1690, died soon after

buried 14 October, 1690. George, born 17 April, 1692, died an hour after

baptism.

A stillborn female child, 23 March, 1692/3. Besides several miscarriages.

The above does not give the ipsissima verba of either Crull or Dart. The account in the latter occupies nearly a folio page.

ROBERT PIERPOINT.

JOHN MILDENHALL (11 S. v. 186). It is curious that his name does not appear in the ' List of Christian. Tombs and Monuments in the Xorth-West Provinces and Oudh,' compiled by A. Fiihrer, and printed by the Government Press, N.W.P. and Oudh, 1896. The compiler states that ''no pains have been spared to make the list as com- prehensive and in as full detail as possible." Further on in the Preface he says that " the list comprehends events connected with a long series of years, viz., from about A.D. 1627, the first formation of the British and Dutch settlements at Agra." This would not include the date of John Mildenhall's death, 1614, but it is strange that Dr. Fiihrer made no reference to the tomb, seeing that " the information furnished re- garding these Christian monuments is based partly on personal knowledge and partly on the official returns." LEO C.

ISAAC HAWKINS BROWNE THE ELDER <11 S. v. 168). He -'married, 1744.aniece to Dr.Trimnill, Bishop of Winchester " (Simms's ' Bibliotheca Staff ordiensis,' 84). This was Jane, dau. and coh. of David Trimnell, Archdeacon of Leicester, Precentor of Lincoln,

&c. ; the' marriage took place on 10 Feb., 1744 (Chester's ' Westminster Abbey Registers,' p. 42). She died fl Oct., 1783, aged 66 (monumental inscription at Badger, co. Salop).

S. A. GRUNDY-NEWIIAN, F.S.A.Scot. Littleton Place, Walsall.

TOASTS AND GOOD STORIES (11 S. v. 149). An interesting dissertation on the drink- ing of healths and toasts is given in ' A Portraiture of Quakerism,' by Thomas Clarkson, third edition. 1807, chap. vii. of the part called ' Peculiar Customs of the Quakers,' i.e., vol. i. p. 386 et seq.

Clarkson cites the toast-drinking among the ancient Greeks, and gives an account of customs prevalent in this country a century ago, as to drinking toasts in bumpers as if by compulsion.

AUibone gives 1813 as the date of the third edition of the ' Portraiture.' My copy is dated 1807. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

' THE ST. ALBANS GHOST ' (11 S. v. 187). The Rev. Henry \Vharton was a noted divine, antiquary, and author of the period. Dr. Samuel Garth, a celebrated and fashion- able physician, author of a polished satire ' The Dispensary,' was much attached to the house of Hanover; he was knighted by George I., and died in 1718.

Wsr. NORMAN.

ST. AGNES : FOLK-LORE (US. v. 47, 112. 156). Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, writing to the Abbe Conti from Tunis, under date 31 July, 1718, says of the betrayal of the castle of Abydos to the Turks in the reign of Orchanes :

" The governor's daughter, imagining to have seen her future husband in a dream (though I don't find she had either slept upon bride-cake, or kept St. Agnes's fast), fancied she afterwards saw the dear figure in the form of one of her besiegers," &c.,

an evident allusion to the superstition upon which Keats's poem is founded.

" DE LA " IN ENGLISH SURNAMES : STJR-

I VIVAL OF THE PREFIX (11 S. IV. 127, 174;

I v. 117). In this connexion the following ! may perhaps be of interest. The name " atte Crowche " frequently occurs in the Home Counties, and occasionally in other counties (but seldom in the North), during the four- teenth and fifteenth centuries. The first reference I have to " atte Crowche " is in 1312, though " Cruche," with and without the prefix, occurs in 1273.
