seeing the second volume brought to a satisfactory completion.

" The whole collection of Engraved Portraits now amounts to no less than One Hundred and Twenty-eight (sixty-one by Slater in the first volume, sixty-two by Richmond in the second, with a residue of five more by Slater, making sixty-seven in all in Volume II.)."

In 1880 the Chiswick Press privately issued " Grillion's Club from its origin in 1812 to its fiftieth anniversary, by P. G. E." (Sir Philip Grey Egerton). The book contains an amusing Preface, signed " H." (the late Lord Houghton), and it has a portrait of Sir Thomas Acland ; it is a wholly delightful volume. Lord Houghton's ' Life,' by Wemyss Reid, and Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff's ' Diary ' contain very numerous allu- sions to Grillion's Club. See also Sir Spencer Walpole's 'Essays' (1908), which has a contribution upon ' The Dining Societies of London.' A. L. HUMPHBEYS.

Timbs in his ' Curiosities of London ' (new edition, 1885, p. 250) refers to this Club, and mentions that its fiftieth anniversary was celebrated on 6 May, 1863, and that it was founded

"by the Parliamentary men of the time as a neutral ground on which they might meet. Politics are strictly excluded from the Club : its name is derived from Grillion's Hotel, in Albemarle Street, at which the Club originally met."

There is a reference to ' N. & Q.' (3 S. iii, 408) ; and a list of the members who attended the fiftieth anniversary dinner is added.

DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AT MARSTON MOOR (US. vii. 348). In Alex. D. H. Leadman'a Marquis of Newcastle drove to Marston Moor in a state-coach, drawn by six horses, and that, being assured by Prince Rupert that there would be no fighting till morning, and told that he might rest, he betook himself to his carriage, "lit his pipe, and making himself very comfortable fell asleep " (p. 135), The description of Newcastle's bearing at Marston Moor given in Clements Markham's ' Life of the Great Lord Fairfax ' is so admirable that, although no mention is made of the smoke, I hope * N. & Q.' will find room for a quotation :
 * Prcelia Eboracensia ' it is written that the

" The Marquis of Newcastle with his brother, Charles Cavendish .... came out to the moor late in the afternoon in a coach-and-six, and in an exceedingly bad humour. He applied to Rupert for orders as to the disposal of his own most noble person, and was told that there would be no battle that night, and that he had better get into his coach and go to sleep, which he accordingly did. But Rupert had not the decision in his hands, and the leaders of the opposing party were fully resolved that, with the help of God, there should be a battle that night. "Pp. 163-4.

When the reserves of the centre broke and fled panic-stricken, Lord Leven with them,

" it was at this particular juncture that the Marquis of Newcastle woke up, got out of his coach, and proceeded to join in the combat, followed by his brother, a page, and a few gentle- men volunteers. He had an independent en- counter with a pikeman, and, after performing prodigies of valour, was, according to the Duchess,
