NOTES AND QUERIES.

O<S. N 11., MAR. 15. '50.

extraordinary essay ; but I may point out that Mr. Ruskin sacrifices truth to brilliancy of ex- pression when he says that Scott was a Presby- terian because it was convenient and fashionable to be so in Edinburgh. If any one will turn to the last chapter in Lockharfs Life, they will find the following passage :

" He took up, early in life, a repugnance -to the mode in which public worship is conducted in the Scottish establishment, and adhered to the sister church ; whose system of government and discipline he believed to be the fairest copy of the primitive polity, and whose lita- nies and collects he reverenced, as having been trans- mitted to us from the age immediately succeeding the Apostles " :

which Mr. Ruskin might have known.

SARTOR.

The Nine Gores. The following particulars may be found in Archdall's edition of Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, vol. iii. p. 285. ; being curious, they are worthy, I think, of insertion in " N. & Q.," and may perhaps be matched by some other correspondent :

"Tt is worthy of remark that nine of this family [Gore, of which the head was the Earl of Ross] were in the [Irish] parliament, which met 8th October, 1751, viz. Sir Ralph, after Lord Ross, for the county of Donegal! ; Sir Arthur, after Earl of Arran, for same county; Frede- rick, fifth son of William, Dean of Down, for Tulske; Paul Annesley, of Cotletstown, brother to the said Sir Arthur, for the county of J^ayo; William, of Woodfort, grandson of Sir Arthur, first baronet, for the county of Leitrim ; Ralph Gore, of Barrowmount, for the city of Kilkenny ; and of the family of Tenelick (grandsons to the first Sir Arthur), Arthur was member for the county of Longford ; John, late Lord Annaly, for Jamestown ; and Henrv, now of Tenelick, for Killibegs. (Commons Jour., viii. 252260.) The unanimity of the Nine Gores long continued proverbial ; consequently their influence in the senate may be more easily imagined than de- scribed."
