I mean two or three of Dryden's best, and sucli 

 plays as the Mourning Bride, Cato, the Fair Peni- 

 tent, and Venice Preserved. These additions would 

 not be quite in conformity with the title I have 

 suggested, but they would certainly enhance the 

 attractions of the work as a collection, which 

 every gentleman of taste, possessing even a very 

 small library, would be desirous to secure.

GRANDISON PEEBAGE. 



The following extract will not be withoiit its 

 interest to the parties claiming coheirship in the 

 barony of Grandison, as furnishing, from family 

 muniments, decisive evidence of the Northwoode 

 line of descent ; and as a most satisfactory con- 

 firmation of that part of the case which relates to 

 the Northwoodes, the whole of which has been so 

 ably worked out by Mr. W. Hardy. The extract 

 which I send is from a case for counsel's opinion, 

 temp. Henry V., among the muniments of the 

 manor of Thurnham in Kent, in the Surrenden 

 collection. After setting out the descent and 

 entail of the manor, beginning with Sir Roger 

 Northwoode and his five wives, it states that, by 

 the fii'st of these (Juliana Say), Sir Roger had his 

 eldest son and heir. Sir John, who married Joan.

From the above we get this descent : 



Sir John de Northwode=Joan. 



Sir Roger de Northwode, 

 ob. ». p. 



Isabella. A son. 



Among the same muniments is a minute gene- 

 alogical history of the Northwoodes. It is set 

 forth in an original roll, circiter temp. Hen. IV., and 

 details the history and descent of the family from 

 Sir Stephen de Northwoode (init. Plen. III.) 



downwards. From this roll I subjoin the follow- 

 ing extract : 



" De quibus quidem diio Johe et Johiia exe'runt diis Ro- 

 gerus de Norwode, Williiis de Norwode, Jacobus de Nor- 

 wode, Juliana de Norwode jam ux Johis Digge, et Joha 

 iam ux Joliis Dengeyne mil', de com. Cantebrigg., et fecit 

 dictam antenatam filiam suam vocari Juliana, ob mema- 

 riam nominis Juliane matris sue, et obiit xxvij die Fe- 

 bruar,, anno ii Reg. Rici scdo, ut patet per oificiuni in

From which we acquire this descent : 



Sir John de Northwode=Joan. 

 d. Feb. 27, 2 Rich. II. I 



Sir Roger William, 

 de North- 

 wode. 



James. John=Juliana. Sir Jno.=Joan.. 

 Digse. Dengeyne. 



I have original charters confirmatory of many of 

 the above points, and a large amount of collateral 

 evidence ; and there are references to suits at law,, 

 from the records of which still more decisive evi- 

 dence might be obtained. L. B. L.

Funeral Parade in 1733. — Extract from the 

 will of Seth^Afilams, Esq., citizen and vintner, and 

 major of the trained bands of London, dated 

 27th February, 4 Geo. II. : 



" I hereby direct that in case I shall happen to dye in 

 London, that the five companys of granadiers be invited 

 to march at my funerall in manner following, viz. the 

 Artillery Company, St. Clement's Company, "St. Giles 

 Without, Cripplegate Company, Southwark Company, 

 and White Chappel Company, of granadiers, to whom I 

 order and direct the sume of thirty pounds to be paid, 

 viz. to each company the sume of six pounds to defray the 

 expence of their march ; but my will and mind is, that 

 each of the said companys shall march six and thirty 

 granadiers at least, or otherwise they shall not be en- 

 tituled to the said sume of six pounds ; and that the said 

 companys shall march from the house wherein I now 

 dwell at Cripplegate, London, up Wood Street, along 

 Cheapside, round St. Paul's Churchyard, through Ludgate, 

 and strait forwards to Pall Mall, up St. James's Street to 

 Hj'de Park Corner, and there to give three vollies, and that 

 four coaches, with six horses each, shall attend the corps 

 to be decently buried in the parish church of Stanmore 

 Magna, in the county of Middlesex, and that I be buried 

 by daylight. Proved 8th August, 1733."

 for the interests of the community. Hence the 

 blessing of a free press, which affords scope for
