KOTES AND QrERlES.

quoted by Taylor in his History of the Univeraity 

 of Dublin, reports, " lies buried under a faire stone 

 in the CoUedge Chappie immediately before the 

 Provost's seat." 



Tills was the old chapel which was taken down 

 in 1797 on the completion of the present edifice, 

 which is in the most approved style of heathen 

 architecture. 



No trace of the original building now remains ; 

 but when the foundations of the new campanile 

 (the munificent gift of our venerable primate) were 

 being sunk on the site of the old chapel, I saw 

 some bones thrown up, which showed that the 

 place had once been used for the purpose of 

 sepulture. Some of the monuments were removed 

 to the present chapel, outside the east end of which 

 they may be seen. I have not been able to dis- 

 cover the name of Temple on any of them. 



Archdall relates that Sir John Temple gave 

 lOOZ. for additional buildings in Trinity College, 

 in right of which his heir, Lord Palmerston, can 

 give two chambers to such students as he shall 

 think propel^ Are these chambers now known ?

I feel no interest in the Temple family (living 

 or dead) suflSciently strong to induce me to trouble 

 your correspondent for those extracts he so kindly 

 offers to place in my hands. I refer with thanks 

 to that offer, as an additional proof of the friendly 

 spirit which should exist amongst scholars, and 

 that " N. & Q." from the first moment of its 

 existence has, by precept and example, done so 

 much to promote. 



The information given by Mr. J. R. Garstin 

 is useful. In Lord Macaulay's Essay {Sir Wil- 

 liam Temple) reference is made to Sir John 

 Temple; but the most important incident in that 

 person's biography is omitted, viz. that Sir John 

 was the author of an historical work that, in its 

 day, was almost as popular as Macaulay's JTts^ory 

 of England. Having read that book with great 

 attention, I was anxious to ascertain what had 

 been inscribed upon the tombstone of its author, 

 my purpose being literally, and not metaphori- 

 cally, to 



" Point a moral, and adorn a tale."

Early Lists of the Army (2"^ S. v. 343.) — I 

 cannot, as I have no books to resort to, answer 

 precisely your correspondent's inquiry, whether 

 the Rev. Edward Chamberlayne, D.D., or his son 

 John, who continued Anglics Notitia;, give even 

 the^ whole of the field officers. The information 

 they afford is very meagre, and certainly does not 

 include captains and subalterns. 



The Court and City registers are less scanty 

 than tlie former, but still far from complete. They 

 enumerate the regiments, the field officers of each 

 regiment, and also specify the different agents. 



The List of the Colonels, Lt.- Colonels, Majors, 

 Captains, Lieutenants, and Ensigns, of His Majesty s 

 Forces on the British Establishment, Sfc, Sec, 

 folio, dated Whitehall, March 20, I7ff, is an au- 

 thorised publication, avouched by the signature 

 of the Right Hon. Sir William Yonge, K.B., and 

 MP. for Honiton ; and has annexed abundance 

 of information relative to the army in general, 

 such as the Irish establishment, the half-pay, and 

 reduced officers, and the Marines : the whole, no 

 doubt, very accurately given. I have never seen 

 but one copy, and that was shown me by that 

 obliging gentleman, the late Mr. Furnivall of 30, 

 Charing Cross. The Monthly Army List, 1798 — 

 1808, published by Messrs. Hookham & Carpenter, 

 in a very small 4to. shape, at 15. Old Bond Street, 

 may be seen in part, as well as early Navy lists 

 and lists of the Marines, at the United Service 

 Institution in Whitehall Yard ; but the library 

 there is only accessible to the Members. Delta. 



P.S. Perhaps it may be serviceable to your cor- 

 respondent that I should mention that, having to 

 search for some family information, I found the 

 names of many officers in A Perfect and True 

 Copy of the severall Grievances of the Army under 

 his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, presented 

 Friday, May 21, 1647 ; and also in The Declar- 

 ation of the Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax, pub- 

 lished Friday, June 4, 1647. 



Lovat Peerage (2"" S. v. 335.) — In reply to the 

 Query of your correspondent Mr. Eraser, B.C.L. 

 of Alton, I beg to say that if he can procure a 

 copy of a rather curious collection of papers which 

 were printed in 1729 relative to the Frasers of 

 Lovat, he will there find full particulars as to tffe 

 proceedings of Simon Lord Lovat in support of 

 his claims to the Barony. The volume is a small 

 4to. ; but as it is rather scarce, I have ventured to 

 give what I hope may be of assistance to him, — • 

 the following list of the various papers usually 

 contained in the volume, viz. : — 



" Memorial for Simon Lovat, and Answers to the In- 

 stances of Lord Barons. — Memorial for those of the 

 Surname of Fraser. — Answers to Mr. Mackenzie's Con- 

 descendences in the Rank and Dignity of Earls. — State 

 of the Instances produced by Simon Lord Lovat, for 

 proving the Custom of Succession in the title of Lord 

 Baron in Scotland. — Short State of the Argument, Irom 

 the Investitures of the Lordship of the Family of Lovat. 

 — List of Creations of Lords of Parliament since that 

 Dignity came to be constituted bj' King James VI. — 

 Additional Condescendence of Instances for Simon Lord 

 Fraser of Lovat, in the higher rank and dignity of Earls, 

 &c. — Alphabetical Catalogue of some Nobles who have 

 been Peers of Scotland, &c. &c."

Tasso and John Barclay (2"'' S. v. 254.) — J. H. 

 S. is evidently not aware that Tasso's verses are 

 almost literally from Lucretius, lib. i. 935 — 941.
