JOHN W. BROWN.

QUOTATION FROM CARTWRIGHT. Claren- don wrote of John Hampden that :

" He was a supreme governor over all his rpassyons and affections, and had thereby a greater power over other mens."

Southey, citing this passage ('Commonplace JBook,' hi. 52), says:

" Who is it that imitated this in verse ? "

" A great exactor of himself and then, &c." .and adds in a note :

" Clarendon it is that has imitated Cartwright Jhere."

I presume that the reference is to William Cartwright (1611-1643), but have been un- able to verify it. Can any one complete the -quotation, and say to whom Cartwright ^applied the description ?

Wise, Esq., and the reprints issued by him, e.g., the bibliographies of Robert Browning, the Bronte family, Swin- <burne, Borrow, &c., and the reprint of 'Pauline ' (Robert Browning), and other rare books which he covers. Some of these publications were issued in the "Ashley .Books " series. I should be very glad if T could secure a fairly complete list of these ^writings. E. G. BUTTRICK.

PATRICK ARCHER OF LONDON AND WATERFORD, MERCHANT.

TEMP. CHARLES I. AND CHARLES II. (11 S. v. 9.)

IN 'N. & Q.'for Jan. 6, 1912 (11 S. v. 9), I made an inquiry regarding Patrick Archer of London, merchant, temp. Car. II., whose " gun-running " expeditions on behalf of the Stuart cause in Ireland, are referred to in the ' Calendar of State Papers, Irish Series, September, 1669, to December, 1670 ' (1910) I am now able to furnish fuller informa- tion about the services rendered by Patrick Archer to his exiled King, as the original royal warrant recounting those services, and promising payment for them, has recently come into my possession. It is a family tradition that this Patrick Archer was a collateral of the County Wicklow Archers, but hitherto I knew of no documentary evidence to support it. It appears, however, that this warrant was preserved by my forbears, and deposited, with other family papers, between the years 1860-70, with a firm of lawyers in New Square, Lincoln's Inn, where it was mislaid and forgotten. During the war the premises of the firm were struck by a bomb from enemy aircraft, and a good many rooms were wrecked. In cleaning up and sorting out the debris, the old warrant was discovered and returned to me.
