 NOTES 415 �P. xlviii, 1. 4: "Lord Winchilsea was elected President of the Society of Antiquaries" See Granger, Biog. Diet. 4 vols. Con- tinuation by Noble, 3 vols. 1806. In "A Catalogue of Engraved British Heads " is the statement: "On the revival of the Society of Antiquaries in 1717, the Earl [of Winchilsea] was chosen presi- dent, when he procured the excellent artist, Vertue, the office of engraver to that respectable body. His lordship was well ac- quainted with his skill, which he had eminently shown in engraving his lordship's portrait, before mentioned. �P. xlix, 1. 11 : "Books which I have subscribed for" �(a) " Carm.

Oxon. 1723- 48, 4to." �(6) " Recuille des Piers" etc., is probably the book by Stosch, entitled, Pierres antiques gravies .... Dessinees et gravies .... par B.
