Turner. — Capt. Samuel Turner, ambassador 

 to Tibet, published in 1800 a handsome quarto 

 volume of that embassy, for which the Hon, East 

 India Company presented him with 500Z. ; he was 

 also created D,C.L. (Oxob) and F.R.S. He had 

 previously been present at the first siege of Se- 

 ringapatam, and afterwards in the treaty with 

 Tippoo Sultaun : for these services he was ap- 

 pointed by the Governor- General ambassador to 

 the Lama of Tibet. Upon coming to England, 

 honours awaited him as above ; but, alas ! he sud- 

 denly died in the prime of life in London, early 

 in 1802, and was buried in St. James's church in 

 Piccadilly, where is a marble monument to his 

 memory on the first pillar in the north chancel. 

 A long account of his travels, &c. is given in the 

 Annual Register and the Gentleman's Magazine of 

 that date ; but information is now requested as to 

 his marriage, and the family he left behind him, 

 and other particulars not in either of the two ac- 

 counts, by your old correspondent E, D. 



Sir Harris Nicolas. — Does there exist any 

 monumental epitaph for that able, uncompromis- 

 ing, and successful antiquary the late Sir Harris 

 Nicolas, who died, and was buried in the ceme- 

 tery of Boulogne, August, 1848? Any one who 

 could supply a copy of the same, and also a refer- 

 ence to a more elaborate memoir of Sir Harris 

 than that given in the Gentleman's Magazine, Oc- 

 tober, 1848, would much oblige F. G. 



The Itehellion 0/1715. — Are there any records 

 extant, and where, of the trials of Butler, Dalton, 

 Tyldesley, &c,, who were tried for the rebellion of 

 1715 ? Where also are to be found the trials of 

 Sanderson, Goose, Cartmel, and Wadsworth, exe- 

 cuted at Garstang ? In what book, and where 

 deposited, can be found a list of the names of the 

 prisoners taken at Preston ? Does liny, Patten, 

 or Clerk give them ? T,

" Letters of the Herhert Family.'' — Dr, Routh 

 quotes a work thus entitled, at p. 269. of his 

 edition of Burnet's Reign of James II. (1852.) 

 He alludes to it as " lately published," and cites 

 it, as throwing additional light upon the character 

 of Arnold, the King's brewer, notorious for his 

 conduct as a juryman on the trial of the seven 

 bishops. I know that the venerable annotator of 

 Burnet could not give any information about 

 these Herbert Letters when applied to for the 



purpose. Can any one clear up a difficulty which 

 baffled Dr. Routh ? J. K.

 of Unpublished Letters of the Seventeenth Century, illus- 

 trative of the Herbert Family, &c. In Two Series. Edited 

 by Eebecca Warner of Bath. 8vo. 1818. The passage 

 relating to Capt. Arnold, tho brewer, is in the First Sc' 

 riesj'p. 105.] 



Daborne. — 



" I think that this is the same Daborne whose debts 

 drove him over to England, where he was preferred 



Chancellor to the Cathedral of , and wrote a sermon 



which much displeased certain Roman Catholics, who 

 published an examination of it, 4to. 1617." — 0. 31. 



Can any of your correspondents learned in 

 church matters tell me to what cathedral Oldys 

 refers in the above ? or where I am to look for it 

 myself? G. H. K. 



[The individual referred to is Robert Daborne, Fellow 

 of Trinity College, Dublin, presented bv the Crown to the 

 Chancellorship of Waterford, Dec. 30, 1619 ; and admitted 

 Jan. 9,1619-20. In the next year he was made a Prebendary 

 ofLismore; and 1622, became Dean of that cathedral. He 

 died on 23rd March, 1627-8. (Cotton, Fasti Ecclesim 

 HiberniccE, vol. i, pp. 24. 45.) We are inclined to think he 

 is the same Robert Daborne, the dramatic writer, as was 

 employed by Edward Alleyn and Richard Henslowe, who 

 is stated to have been a man of some property and family, 

 but reduced in circumstances by his many lawsuits. 

 Mr. Collier thinks that Lord Willoughby was' the means 

 of obtaining preferment for Daborne in the church, as 

 about 1614 or 1615 he took orders, and a Sermon is ex- 

 tant preached by him at Waterford in 1618. Cf. The 

 Alleyn Papers, pp. 56 — 82; Diary of Philip Henslowe, p. 

 22 ; and Baker's Biag. Dramatica, s. «.] 



Frieclbert at Naxos. — Perhaps some correspon- 

 dent will kindly inform me to what circumstances 

 Musaus alludes in the following passage in his 

 Der geraubte Schleier {Popular Tales of the Ger- 

 mans^ : — 



" Friedbcrt spielte in Naxos den Ritter wenigstens 

 mit eben der Wiirde und dem Anstand, als der deutscho 

 Schneider den Baron zuweilen in Paris, odcr der entlau- 

 fene Kammerdicner den Marquis an den deutschen 

 Hofen." — Vide Volksmarchen der Deutschen, 1845. Leip- 

 zig, p. 417. 



Hern. 



[The author's meaning appears to be, that Friedbert 

 personated the Knight at Naxos, quite as well as the 

 German tailor sometimes personates the Baron at Paris, 

 or the runaway valet the Marquis at the German courts. 

 So far, then, as valets and tailors are concerned, no parti- 

 cular persons seem to be indicated ; though there may 

 possibly be a sly allusion to certain instances of actual 

 personation, best known to the French and German po- 

 lice. ] 



Andrew Johnson. — In the article, "Life and 

 Writings of Johnson," p. 227., of the last number 

 of the Quarterly Ren., it is stated, " He united skill 

 to muscular power, for he had learned to box from 

 his uncle Andrew, who was a professional prize- 

 fighter." I shall feel obliged to any corrcspon-
