'Toppe, of Holand, trustee of land at Coombe Bisset, Wilts, 1400.

I cannot, however, prove the Visitation of Wiltshire to be correct. My surmise is that the above Thomas had a son Thomas, .and he had a son John who settled in London circa 1530, and rented land at Stockton, Wilts. It would appear, also, that the last- named John Toppe was a favourite at Court, and had land and houses bequeathed to him by Henry Suckley of Bread Street, London.

Who was Henry Suckley ? He appears also to have had "great influence at Court. Was he in any way connected with Lincoln- shire ? Both the Toppe and Suckley families were connected with the Merchant Taylors' ^Company in the sixteenth century.

LONDON SOCIETIES FOB RELIGIOUS PUB- EPOSES IN 1821. I have before me as I write -a fragment of a small octavo (5 by 8 J in.) book, viz., pp. 175-184, the first of which -contains the completion of an article, ' 12, The London Home Missionary Society ' ; the others a complete article, ' 13, The .Missionary and Tract Society of the New Jerusalem Church, 15 Cross Street, Hatton Garden. Instituted A.D. 1821.' The "run- -ning head-line" of each left-hand page is " Societies for Religious Purposes." Can Any reader of ' N. & Q.' kindly furnish me with the full title of the book of which this fragment formed a section? It was prob- ably a handbook descriptive of London or of philanthropic societies, metropolitan or general. One scrap of internal evidence points to its having been published in 1821 -r 1822.

SIB ISAAC NEWTON : CAPT. NEWTON. My great-great-grandfather, Dr. Dominic Lee of Kilkenny, officiated at the marriage of a certain Capt. Newton of "Little- cotes," t Lincolnshire. I do not know the date of birth of Dr. Lee, but on Nov. 5, 1715, he was granted the diploma of doctor of medicine by the University of Louvain. A portrait of him, dated 1715, represents him as a comparatively young man.

The family have always understood that Capt. Newton was a relative of Sir Isaac Newton, who died a bachelor. I shall be much obliged if any correspondent can put me in the way of tracing the relationship between the two. If desired, answers may be sent direct.
