JOHN R. MAGRATH. Queen's College, Oxford.

HENRY HUNT PIPER (11 S. vi. 129, 176, 216, 236). Having seen your references to this Unitarian minister, I beg to add the following particulars. He was born on 26 Aug., 1781, in London, and he died on 14 Jan., 1864, aged 82, in Hampstead, and was buried at Highgate Cemetery.

It appears from one of his works that the Rev. H. H. Piper went to Norton, near Sheffield, in 1805 (in succession to the Rev. Robert Aspland, who had no sooner arrived at Norton than he was strongly pressed to take up work at Hackney).

In 1827, owing to a temporary misunder- standing amongst the congregation of Upper Chapel, Norfolk Street, Sheffield, a consider- able portion left and held Divine service in the Music Hall, Surrey Street, under the ministry of the Rev. H. H. Piper. On the resignation of Dr. Nathaniel Philipps in 1837 they rejoined the parent society. The Rev. H. H. Piper was at Norton up to 1843,

and then he ministered at Banbury, 1843- 1853. He probably retired at this time, and was living at Lewes in 1854.

Amongst my autographs of Sir Francis Chantrey is the following letter to H. H. Piper :

MY DEAR FRIEND [a drawing of a pipeJER,

F. L. CHANTREY.
