J)?: Tniders 3Iernoirs. — I Lave the First Part 

 of the Memoirs of the Life of the Bev. Dr. Tr-xislcr, 

 with his Opinions and Reinarhs through a Long 

 Life on Men and Manners, written by himself. 

 Bath. Printed and published by John Browne, 

 George Street, 1806. This Part is a 4to. of 200 

 pages, and is ftdl of curious anecdotes of the time. 

 It was intended to form three or more Parts. 

 Was it ever completed : and if so, where to be 

 procured? In all my searches after books, I 

 never met but with this co]iy. 



At the end of the First Part there is a prospec- 

 tus of a work Trusler intended to publish in the 

 form of a Dictionary (and of which he gives a 

 specimen sheet), entitled Sententice Variorum. Can 

 any of your Bath friends say if the manuscript is 

 still in existence, as he states that it, is ready for 

 the press ; or that he would treat with any party 

 disposed to buy the copyright ? T. 



Life of Bishop Frampton. — I have in my pos- 

 session a manuscript life of Bishop Frampton, who 

 was ejected for not taking the oaths to ^Villiam 

 and IVIary. It is of sufficient <letail and interest to 

 deserve ])ublication. But befm-e I give it to the 

 world, that I may do what justice I can to the 

 memory of so excellent a man, I shoiUd be happy 

 to receive the contributions of any of your readers 

 who may happen to possess any thing of interest 

 relating to him. I have reason to believe that 

 several of his sermons, the texts of which are 

 given in his life, are still in existence. \\'ill you 

 be kind enough to allow your jieriodical to be the 

 vehicle of this invitation? T. Simpson Evans.

Probahilism. — Will any one inform me by 

 whom the doctrine of Probabiiism was first pro- 

 pounded as a system ? And whether, when fiiirly 

 stated, it is any thing more than the enunciation 

 of a deep moral principle ? B. P. 



Sir Henry Chauncys Observations on Wilfred 

 Entwysel. — After recording the inscription on 

 the brass plate in St. Peter's Church, St. Alban's, 

 to the memory of Sir Berlin Entwysel, Knt., 

 Viscount and Baron ofBrykbeke in Normandy, 

 who fell at the first battle of St. .Mban's, in 1455, 

 Chauncy proceeds to state : — 



" These Kntwvsels were gentlemen of good account 

 in Lanca'.hire, whose niansion-liouse retains the name 

 of P^ntwysel, and the last heir of that house was one 

 Wilfred Entu-ysel, who sold his estate, and served as a 

 lance at Mussell)orrow Field, Anno 2 Edw. VI. After 

 tl)at he served the Guyes in defence of iMelli, and he 

 «as one of the four captains of the fort of Newhaven, 

 wlio being infected with the plague and shijiped for 

 England, landed at Portsmouth, and uncertain of ar.y 

 house, in September, 1549, died under a hedge." — 



Historical Antiq. of Hertfordshire, hii Sir Henry Chauncy, 



Knt., Seij.at Law, p. 472. fol. 1700. 



On what authority is this latter statement made» 

 and if it was traditional when Chauncy wrotci 

 was the foundation of the tradition good ? Did 

 Sir Berlin Entwysel leave issue male, and is the 

 precise link ascertained which coiniects him with 

 the i'amily of Entwisle of Entwisle, in the parish 

 of Bolton-en-le-]\Ioors, in Lancashire ? Wilfred 

 Entwysel was not " the last heir of that house," 

 as the 2^ost moi-tem. ivq. of Edmund Entwisle, of 

 Entwisle, Esq., was taken 14 Sept. 1544, and his 

 son and heir was George Entwisle, then aged 

 twenty-two years and upwards. Amongst his 

 large estates was " the nnxnor of Entwissell."

Theological Tracts. — Can any of your corres- 

 pondents inform me where the following tracts are 

 to be found ? — 



'''■Pattern of the Present Temple,"' 

 " Garnish of the Soid," 

 "■ Soldier of Battle " 

 " Hunt of the Fox," 

 " Fardle of Fashions" 

 " Gamer s Arraign," 

 and a work entitled " Vaux's Catechism." 



I am sorry not to be able to give a more minute 

 description of them ; they were all publishefl, I 

 think, before the middle of the seventeenth century. 



The Bodleian and our own University Libraries 

 have been searched, but to no purpose. S. G. 



Lady Bingham. — In Blackwood' s Magazine, vol. 

 Ixviii. p. 141. there is a paper, bearing every mark of 

 authenticity, which details the unsuccessful court- 

 ship of Sir Symonds D'Ewes with Jemima, after- 

 wards Baroness Crewe, and dai:ghter of I^dward 

 Waldgrave, Esq., of Lawford House in Essex, 

 and Sarah his wiflj. It is stated that the latter 

 bore the name of Lady Bingham, as being the 

 widow of a knight, and that his monument may 

 still be seen in Lawford church. On referring to 

 the Suckling Papers, published by Weale, I find 

 no account of this monument, though an inscription 

 of that of Edward Waldgr.ave, Esq., apparently 

 his father-in-law, is given. Can any of your readers 

 give me any information as to this lady? I should, 

 if possible, be glad to h.ave her maiden name and 

 origin, as well as that of her first husband. She 

 might have been the widow of Sir Richard Bing- 

 ham, (Jovernor of Connaught, &c., whose IMS. 

 account of the Irish wars is now publishing by the 

 Celtic Society, and who died a.d. 1598. In that 

 case, I have a conjecture before me, that she Avas 

 a Kingsmill of Sidmanton, in Hampshire. I 

 mention this to aid enquiry, if any one will be so 

 good as to make it. If there is such a monument 

 in existence, his arms may be quartered on it, for 

 which I should be also thankful. C. W. B.
