The “Scots Magazine,” Vol. 35, contains the following inscription on Miss Drummond’s Monument:—

To Abigail Drummond, daughter of Robert, Archbishop of York, who lived, alas! only sixteen years this last duty is paid by her afflicted parents:

A correspondent obligingly informs me that I was not correct in my conjecture as to the motive of James Auriol’s choice of Lisbon for his residence. It is probable he went there to join the house of Pratviel. The Pratviels were French Protestant exiles, said to have taken refuge on an island in the Mediterranean, but residing in Lisbon in 1727, the first year of the publication of the Factory Register. David Pratviel in his will, dated at Lisbon in 1742, and proved in London in 1759, names as his executor “my cousin and partner Mr Peter Auriol, merchant, at present in London.” Sarah Pratviel (daughter of David, who visited London in 1755) was married to Sir Charles Asgill, Bart., and was the mother of General Sir Charles Asgill, Bart., at whose death, in 1823, that baronetcy expired. Her daughter Amelia was the wife of Robert Colvile, Esq., whose eldest son. Sir Charles Henry Colvile, was the father of Charles Robert Colvile, Esq. of Lullington, late M.P. for South Derbyshire.

(6.) Montolieu de Sainte-Hippolite (pp. 173-176). This old family of Huguenot soldiers and martyrs was represented among British refugees by General David Montolieu, Baron de Saint-Hippolite. He served in our army, and was sent by Queen Anne’s government to serve under the Duke of Savoy in Piedmont. He returned among us at the Peace, rose to the rank of General, and died, aged 93. He is represented in the female line.
