176 IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 



Reigate in Surrey ; his last words were : " Oh, Lord 

 forgive me, especially my sins of omission." A 

 public funeral was given, in Westminster Abbey, 

 to this great and learned man, Cromwell contribut- 

 ing £200 towards the expenses. The liturgical 

 service was heard there on that occasion for the 

 only time during the Commonwealth. He married 

 an heiress, and had issue — one daughter. No 

 monument was ever erected to him in the Abbey. 

 There is a portrait of him in the National Portrait 

 Gallery by Sir Peter Lely, it having been trans- 

 ferred there in 1879 from the British Museum, and 

 there is also one at Trinity College, Dublin. His 

 portrait was ordered to be prefixed to his edition 

 of the Epistles of Ignatius by the University of 

 Oxford. (See, on the subject of his portraits. 

 Notes and Queries, 9th S. VII., p. 195.) Ussher's 

 library was bought by the State and placed, in 1661, 

 in Trinity College, Dublin.
