a board on the staircase. But of all those nume- 
rous refuges in times of religious persecutions, by 
far the most interesting and celebrated are those 
two in Staffordshire, where the fallen and the 
flying royalty of England found safety. Milner, 
after telling us, that “on two occasions the king 
(Charles I1., after the battle of Worcester) owed 
his life to the care and ingenuity of priests, who 
concealed him in the hiding-hole provided for 
their own safety,” adds, in a foot-note : 
“ The above mentioned hiding-hole is still to be seen 
at the present Mr. Whitegrave’s house, at Mosely, near 
Wolverhampton; as is also the priest’s hiding-hole 
(which concealed the king, whilst he did not sit in the 
oak-tree), at White-ladies, about ten miles from that 
town.” — Letters to a Prebendary, 7th edit., p. 217.

Moustache worn by iClergy— Episcopal Wig 
(1* S. xi. 53.; xii, 202.) —I have a copy I had 
made of an original miniature of Adam Loftus, 
Archbishop of Dublin, and also Lord Chancellor of 
Ireland, who died in 1605. He is there repre- 
sented with a short moustache and a flowing 
beard, both of them nearly white. His counte- 
nance displays the intellect one would expect to 
see in this talented prelate, whose abilities ob- 
tained, and for such a long period retained, the 
favour of his royal mistress. The archbishop has 
no wig, though his hair appears scanty.

Saunders’s “ Physiognomy” (24 S. i. 55.) — 
The book referred to by Mz. Tremp tz is evidently 
the first edition of Richard Saunders’s curious 
work. I possess a copy of the “second edition, 
very much enlarged,” folio. Tle dedication to 
Ashmole has no date, but the Preface to the 
Reader is dated from “‘ The Three Cranes, in 
Chancery Lane, October 13, 1670.” It is pub- 
lished at London, by Henry Brugie, for Nathaniel 
Brook, in 1671; and, besides dedication and pre- 
face, contains 377 pages, a brief table of the 
chapters contained in this volume, of four,pages, 
and a leaf of errata. There is a very fine en- 
graving of Saunders prefixed, and the work is 
considered as of uncommon occurrence. I pur- 
chased it several years since at the sale of the 
very valuable library of the Earl of Mar. 
William Kennedy (2°28, i. 113.) —Parricius 
asks where he may see T'he Arrow and the Rose, 
by this poet; also, for information of him. He 
was connected with the daily press in Paisley; 
but, I believe, afterwards went to London, and 
died there. ‘Ned Bolton” is one of the pieces 
in a volume, entitled, Fitf/ul Fancies, published by 
poor Kennedy in 1827, and dedicated to “the 
Right Hon. Robert Peel.” The publishers are 
Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh. If this information 
assists your correspondent to a better knowledge 
of Kennedy, I shall be glad. His inquiry will 
send me a-seeking also for The Arrow and the 
Rose. Doowrir. 
Eleven Thousand Pounds Reward for the Dis- 
covery of a Will (2° S. p. 88.) —In reply to Mr. 
Firz-Parrick’s inquiry whether Mr. Walker’s 
will ever came to light, I beg to inform him that, 
unfortunately for the interests of the charitable 
institutions, and of the members of my grand- 
father’s family who were to have benefited by it, 
the will has not been discovered.

Barker of Chiswick (2" 8.1.94.) —This is an an- 
cient family, long settled in the parish of Chiswick. 
Scory Barker, Esq., M.P. for Middlesex, lived 
at Grove House in 1705, a noble mansion within 
a quarter of a mile of theeChiswick Station of the 
South Western Railway, and which, some years 
ago, was bought by the Duke of Devonshire; and 
what had been the seat, for more than a century, 
of great hospitality and unbounded charity to the 
very populous and poor hamlet of Strand-on-the- 
Green, in the parish of Chiswick, where — 
“ One only master grasp’d the whole domain.” 
And the mansion has remained tenantless ever 
since. Inscriptions on two monuments of the 
Barker family, in Chiswick Church, will be found 
in Bowack’s Antiquities of Middlesex, pp. 44, 45. 
(fol., 1705-6); namely, to Anne Barker, widow, 
ob. 1607 ; and Thomas Barker, Esq., ob. 1630. 
Grove House was once the residence of Sir 
John Denham, K.B., the poet, and also of a 
great sportsman and benevolent and somewhat 
eccentric old English gentleman, of a good family, 
the Right Hon..Humphrey Morice, M.P., Lord 
Warden of the Stannaries, Steward of the Duchy 
of Cornwall, &c., who died at Naples, Oct. 18, 
1785 ; bequeathing these premises as a provision 
for thirty old hunters, dogs, &c., which lived, some 
of them, a great many years—to the age of forty 
and fifty. 
George Colman, the younger (Random Records, 
2 vols., London, 1830), gives an account of Mr. 
Humphrey Morice, and his horses and dogs, &c. ; 
which however has, as may be expected from that 
author, a good deal of the caricatura in it. &,

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 
After half a century spent in the service of the British 
Museum, Sir Henry Ellis has retired from the important 
office of Principal Librarian and Secretary. To few men 
has it been given to take part for so many years in the 
progressive development of an institution of such vast 
magnitude and importance; and to his thorough business 
habits, no less than to his varied literary acquirements,
