Charles II. — The following letter of King 

 Charles II. was written during his residence in 

 Jersey : — 



" Progers, I would have you (besides tho embroidred 

 sute) bring me a plaine riding suite with au innocent 

 coate, the suites I have for horseback being so spotted 

 and spoiled that the}' are not to be seene out of this 

 island. The lining of the coate and the petit toies are 

 referred to your greate discretion, provided there want 

 nothing when it conies to be put on. I doe not remember 

 there was a belt or a hat band in your directions for the 

 embroidered suite, and those are so necessarie as you 

 must not forget them.

 old stile, 1649." 



" To M r . Progers." 



The above letter is printed in Bonn's edition 

 of the Memoirs of the Count de Grammont, 

 notes, p. 381. My inquiry is directed as to 

 where is or was the original of this letter, and is it 

 in print elsewhere ? Cl. Hopper. 



Pepysiana. — 



1. To what church near Southampton does 

 Pcpys allude, when he speaks, in the Diary for 

 April 26, 1662, of a little churchyard, where the 

 graves are accustomed to be all sowed with sage ? 



2. Feb. 8, 166f. For " Josialis words," read 

 "Joshua's words" (xxiv. 15.). 



P. J. F. Gantillon. 



The Young Pretender. — In the first number 

 of Cassell's History of England— "The Reign of 

 George III.," by William Howitt — it is stated 

 that among the crowd who witnessed the corona- 

 tion of George III. was Charles Stuart, the heir 

 de jure of the throne ? Is this a well-authenti- 

 cated fact? Wm, Dobson. 



Preston. 



Sir George Paule. — I am desirous to obtain 

 some particulars respecting Sir George Paule, 

 author of a Life of Archbishop Whitgift. He de- 

 scribes himself as " Comptroller of his Grace's 

 Houshold ;" and his Life of Whitgift was pub- 

 lished, in 1699, in the same volume with Dr. 

 Richard Cosin's Conspiracy for Pretended Bef orn - 

 ation. 



Browne Willis (Notit. Pari.) mentions Sir Geo. 

 St. Poll as M.P. for the county of Lincoln in the 

 parliaments of 1588 and 1592 ; and as M.P. for 

 Grimsby in 1603. This Sir George St. Poll had a 

 nephew, George, son of John St. Paul of Canip- 



[* Dr. Charles Crow, Bishop of Cloyne, died on June 

 2G, 1726, according to Cotton's Fasti Eccles. Hiber- 

 nicir, i. 271. — Ed.] 



sale, by whom he was succeeded in part of his 

 estates, and (I suppose) in his baronetcy — for he 

 was knight and baronet. 



Can the author of the Archbishop's Life be 

 identified with either of these Georges (uncle or 

 nephew), supposing the saint to have been ban- 

 ished from the name in charity to the Puritan 

 scruples of the times ? Upon this supposition, the 

 Sir George Paul, who is mentioned by Willis as 

 M.P. for Bridgnorth in 1628, may possibly have 

 been the nephew : the uncle being the last Sir 

 George, who lived in Lincolnshh-e, i. e. the M. P. 

 for Grimsby, 1603. 



It should be remembered that Whitgift was 

 born at Grimsby, and received the rudiments of 

 his education at the monastery of Wellow, where 

 his uncle was abbot ; and that, for seven years of 

 his after life, he was dean of Lincoln. 



It may be worth observing farther, that there 

 is a George Powle, Esq., mentioned by Willis as 

 M. P. for Hindon, Wilts, in 1601 ; and, four years 

 previously, as M. P. for Downton in the same 

 county. There would seem to have been a family 

 of this name in Wiltshire, apparently in no way 

 connected with the St. Paules, or St. Polls, of 

 Lincolnshire. Still it is observable that Richard 

 Cosin, LL.D., and Richard Cosyn, or Cossyn, 

 LL.D., may be found as M. P. for both these 

 places in 1586 and 1588. This can hardly have 

 been any other than Richard Cosin, " Dean of 

 Arches and Official Principal to Archbishop Whit- 

 gift," the author of the other treatise bound up 

 with the Life. J. Sansom. 



Pickering Family. — Can you give me any in- 

 formation as to John Pickering, who founded the 

 grammar-school at Tarvin, near Chester, in 1600. 

 Thomas Pickering of Tarvin received the free- 

 dom of the city for serving as a volunteer at 

 Culloden. Was he descended from this John 

 Pickering ? Thomas W. Pickering. 



Sir Hugh Vaughan, styled as of Littlehampton, 

 co. Middlesex, was Gentleman-usher to Henry, 

 VIII., and subsequently for some time Captain or 

 Governor of "the Island of Jersey. Can any of 

 your correspondents inform me whether he has 

 any recognised descendants ? and where to find 

 additional data respecting him, other than that 

 given by Bentley in his Excerpla Historica ?

Antonio Guevara. — A small 4to. volume has 

 just come under my notice, respecting which I 

 wish to make a Query. It is, judging from the 

 typography (for the title-page is wanting) of the 

 latter end of the sixteenth or early part of the 

 seventeenth century. The indiscriminate use of
