Hence the term " hyphenates " has been applied to those American citizens who are alleged to place the interests of the foreign country from which they have been derived above the interests of their own country.

FELLOWS OF THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES (12 S. ii. 469, 518 ; iii. 35). I have to thank MR. PRICE and MR. GOULD, as well as other correspondents who have written to me personally, for answers to my query. May I ask, as a further favour, for information as to the date of death, and the works, of Edward Brent, who was elected Jan. 19, 1758 ? E. BRABROOK.

In ' The Ambulator,' llth edition (London, 1811), at p. 42, there is a mention of the por- traits of Margaret Beauchamp, grand- mother to Henry VII., of Henry VII. him- self, and of Queen Elizabeth in the east window of Battersea Parish Church ; at p. 108 the old church at Greenwich is said to have formerly contained a portrait on glass of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester ; at-, p. 146 mention is made of the Crown Public-House, Lower Street, Islington, and it is asserted that " among other decorations on painted glass, apparently of the reign of Henry VII., is an original portrait of Eliza- beth, the queen of that monarch, supposed to have been painted in 1487 " ; and at p. 245 is a reference to the window from Bexhill now in the possession of MR. MILNER- GIBSON-CULLUM (see ante, p. 95).

1. In the Great Hall at Lambeth Palace is a window containing a portrait of Arch- bishop Chicheley.

2. On the Chancery landing of St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, a window has portrait figures of the Grand Priors Sir John Kendal and Sir Thomas Docwra, and also of Fina,

the first English Prioress at BucklancT Sororum. I think the inquirer might find it worth while to look through Timbs's ' Curiosities of London.'

3. Eden mentions Magdalen and Wadham Colleges, Oxford, as possessing portraits of Charles I. and his queen, and Brasenose and St. John's of their founders. Charles I. and his granddaughter Queen Anne are also to be found in Harlow Church.

4. St. Andrew's Undershaft, London, has in the west window portraits of Edward VI., Elizabeth, James I. , Charles I. , and Charles II.

5. St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, has a modern window of a dozen citizens of London.

In Tierney's ' History and Antiquities of the Castle and Town of Arundel,' 1834, vol. i. p. 85, there is a description of the stained-glass windows in the Baron's Hall, depicting historical scenes the signing of Magna Charta, &c. Some of the figures are portraits, among them the Duke of Norfolk, Capt. Morris, Alderman Coombe, Henry Howard of Greystoke, Earl of Suffolk, Lord Howard of Effingham, Earl of Surrey, Lord Henry Molyneux Howard, &c.

BISHOP, PRIVATE SECRETARY TO GEORGE III. (12 S. ii. 410). I cannot find any one of this name holding the office of Private Secretary to the Sovereign, the duties of which, I believe, were usually discharged by the Keeper of the Privy Purse. Charles Van Hulse appears to have acted as Private Secretary for some time to William III., and to have been followed by John Robethon until April, 1702, after
