There is a charity in the parish of Ashby St. Ledgers, Northamptonshire, founded fey a person of the name of I'Anson. In the title-deeds of the farm in Warwickshire from which the income of the charity is derived the name of the same person is rendered at different dates as I'Anson, lanson, and in other forms. A. 0.

EDMUND SPENSER, 1592 (US. v/310). A gallery-size portrait of the poet, in oils, believed to be of this period, is in my possession, and the hair is rather fair than dark light brown, in fact. The artist's name is unknown. From an old copper print I have, the painting seems to have served the engraver early in the eighteenth century.

Avonthwaite, Stratford-on-Avon.

During this year the poet seems to have been resident on his estate of Kilcolman Castle, co. Cork. A. R. BAYLEY.

R. ANTROBUS: WOOLLEY (US. v. 268). There is much information about Woolleys in Chauncy's ' Herts,' vol. ii., ed. 1826. James I., by letters patent 18 Dec., 1606, granted free liberty to Robert Wooley of St. Albans, and his sons Leonard and Robert after him, to "have one tavern or cellar of wine within the Burrough of St. Alban,"' a fine being paid to the mayor and burgesses to the use of the Free Grammar School, &c.

Woolleys were Mavors of St. Albans in 1561, 1571, 1578, 1601, 1608. Under the information about Sir John King, we learn that Sir John, on 29 June, 1677. died whilst he was in the arms of his near kinsman and dear friend Mr. Robert Wolley, a merchant in London, who married his only sister of the whole blood. Chauncy does not mention a Ralph, but speaks of ^William Antrobus in 1597, contemporary of Robert \Voolley.

" DE LA '' IN ENGLISH^SURNAMES : SUR- VIVAL OF " ATTE" (11 S". iv. 127, 174; v. 117, 275). MR. CROUCH will find a rich store of instances of ' Atte" as a prefix in the early Subsidy Rolls. The Rev. W. Hudson published the Rolls for Sussex of 1296, 1327. and 1332, as vol. x. of tha Sussex Record Society's Publications, and in these the prefix is recurrent as a territorial distinction for persons apparently possessing 110 surnames.
