RICHARD CRASHAW.*UDd€P the date 2 June, 1631, Richard Smyth records the death of one “Richard Crashaw, a rich citizen of the Ex- change” (‘Obituary,’ Camd. Soc., p. 6). It seemed worth while to unearth this worthy’s will (P.C.C., 69 St. John) on the chance of finding some mention of a greater Richard Crashaw, even the “ poet and saint.” The search was rewarded, as the following extract from the will shows:- “Item I give and bequeath unto Richard Cra- shawe m godsonn sonne of Willyam Crashawe late of White Cha§»pell preacher my house and two gardens without xshoppslgate against the S itle, and my house att Bassing all in London, and’ my house at Mortelacke in the countie of Surrey, To h uld h to the said Richard Crashawe and o t e same his heires for his better mainetenance and education in learning and for the good respecte which  beare unto his ather, And also I give to m said God sonne twentie poundes in money to buie him bookes or other thinges needfull.” At the date of the will (26 April, 1631) the poet was still at the Charterhouse.

He was uried at the age of seventy in the parish of St. Bartholomew by the Exchan, where he had lived for thirty-one years. *lil 1636 his executors erected a cenotagih to his memory in the north aisle of the c ancel of All Saints’ Church, Derby. Thereon it is recorded that in the great plague of 1625, neglecting his own sa ety, he abode in the city to provide for the relief of the sick poor, and left by will for lectures and charitable uses above 4,oool., to which his executors added 9001. out of his estate (Lysons, ‘Mag. Brit.,’ vol. v. p. 117; Glover, ‘County of Derby,’ part i. vol. ii. p. 493). One of his executors was his nephew, John Croshawe, of Heanor Derbyshire. The eldest son of this John Croshawe was Richard Croshawe, a student of the Inner Tem le, to which he was admitted in 1628 (Cooke, }l_nner Temple Students, 1547-1660,’ p. 257). Be- coming weary of riotous living, he published in 1640 a curious booklet with the title “ Visions, or Hels Kingdome, And the Worlds
