 NOTES AND QUERIES. [n s. v. JU>E s, 1912.

LOUD BAKBYMOBE : THE WHITE AND GOLD THEATBE. Can any one tell me if the " white and gold fieatre, to seat a thousand," built at War grave-on Thames by the Earl of Barrymore (" Rake - hell Barrymore " ), still exists ? He entertained many of the royal emigres, and acted himself in ' The Beaux' Stratagem.' I have an engraving from a picture by De Wilde of the Earl of Barrymore and Capt. Wathen as Scrub and Archer.

REV. GEORGE JEBMENT. Where. can I glean biographical data concerning this author ? He edited a work by Thomas Gibbons, D.D. (obiit 1785), entitled ' Me- moirs of Eminently Pious Women,' pub- lished in London in 1777, 1804, and 1815, to which he himself contributed in the second volume ' Memoirs of Jane of Navarre.' Did he publish other volumes? Where did he obtain his information about the Baskish NJW Testament (presumably the famous edition of 1571 by Leicarraga), and how did he know that its text was " most fine " ? I am led to make these inquiries from a passage in his aforesaid work. He died somewhere between 1804 and 1815, the years of the second and third editions of Gibbons's ' Memoirs.' The ' D.N.B.' makes no men- tion of him. J. B. McGovERN.

ATKYNS FAMILY. In the ' Dictionary of National Biography,' vol. ii. p. 232, Sir Robert Atkyns, who died in 1711, is described as the only son of Sir Robert Atkyns, Chief Baron of the Exchequer. I think this is not correct.

According to the ' Dictionary ' the pedigree of the family would be as follows :

Ursula Dacres=f=Sir Edward Atkyns=Franees Berry* Baron of the d.a.p.

Exchequer, 1587-1669.

Sir Robert,

Lord Chief Baron

of the Exchequer,

1621-1709.

Sir Edward,

Baron of the Exchequer, 1630-1698.

Sir Robert, 1647-1711.

Among the muniments at Blakesware there is an indenture, dated 14 Aug.. 1702, expressed to be made between ''Dame ffrances Atkyns of Hatton Garden \Viddowe and relict of S v Edward Atkyns K nt deced, late one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer, S r Robert Atkyns the Elder of Lower fewell in the County of Glocester K nt of the Hono b!e Order of the Bath, son and heiro of the said S r

Edward Atkyns and son in Law to the said 1 Dame ffrances Atkyns, and Robert Atkyns of Pinbury Parke in the Parish of Duntisborne Rous in the said County of Glocester Esq r only son and heire of Edward Atkyns Esq r deced, who was the second son of the said S r Robert Atkyns, of the one part, and John Plumer of Blakesware in the County of Hertford of the other part." Of course, the term " son-in-law " here means " stepson."

With regard to Sir Robert, who died in 1711, the 'Dictionary' states he was knighted in 1663, so he could not have been- the Robert Atkyns of the indenture, who is therein described as Esquire. It is clear, however, that Sir Robert, who died in 1709, had two sens, namely, Sir Robert and Edward.

In the ' Dictionary,' under the second Sir Robert, reference is made to Thomas Atkyns, who died in 1401. Can any of your corre- spondents trace the pedigree of the family from him to Sir Edward ?

MORANT'S ' CAMPAIGN OF FLANDERS.' For the statement that

" General Gordon of Leglaisiere [where is this ?] who died last year [1753J in France, was esteemed exceedingly for his skill in fortification," C. A. Gordon, in his ' Concise History of the Gordons,' refers the reader (p. 4) to " ' Cam- paign of Flanders,' by Morant." What is this book ? It is not in the British Museum, and no one there seems to have heard of it. J. M. BULLOCH.
