living, that of Uny Lelant, was a sufficient proof of the favour 

 of his diocesan. And the rectory of St. Erme, to which he was 

 afterwards presented by Dr. "Wynne, did equal honour to them 

 both. Dr. Cardew married twice, first to Miss Brutton, of Exeter ; 

 and secondly to Miss "Warren of Truro ; he was the father of a 

 numerous family, a great part of whom he placed in respectable 

 situations ; and, possessor of a considerable fortune, for the 

 acquisition of which he had to thank himself only, he retired 

 to his Rectory. Till within the last ten or twelve years of his 

 long reign Dr. Cardew received the old price of schooling, only 

 two guineas a year ! On the 19th of July, 1805, Dr. Cardew 

 resigned his school. In gratitude to their old master, his 

 scholars entered into a unanimous resolution to present him with 

 a silver service. He left a sum to provide a valuable set of books 

 to be competed for by the scholars annually." 



Mr. Hogg, a layman from Scotland, who had been elected 

 his successor, was next invested with the " magisterial ensigns." 

 In Elindell's paper (now The Royal Cornwall Gazette) appeared 

 on this occasion an advertisement, worth looking at, but for

In a list of the boys educated at Truro School, whilst 

 Mr. Conon undertook its superintendence, Polwhele found, 

 amongst others, the names of "William Veal, Samuel Enys, 

 James Tonkin, Swete Nicholas Archer, Edward Q-oodere Foote, 

 "William Tonkin, Junr., Edmund Donnithorne, Humphrey 

 Praed, Henry Eoote, Edmund Prideaux, Charles Osier Prideaux, 

 Joseph Hussey, Benjamin Prideaux, Henry Usticke, John 

 Trewan, "William Lemon (father of the first Sir "William) Addis 

 Archer, Thomas "Vivian late of Cornwood, Nicholas Archer, 

 Bulkeley Mackworth Praed, Richard Hill, Jackman Foot, 

 Richard Spry (the Admiral, I believe) John Foot, Samuel Foote, 

 Edward Archer, Philip and Francis Spernon, Edward Giddy, 

 Stephen Tippett, Thomas Polwhele (father of the Rev. Richard) 

 and Thomas Hawkins. The list contains only 129 names, and 

 the last is that of Edward Bishop ; but there are no dates of 

 the time of their entrance. 



Polwhele proceeds to give some short notices of the follow- 

 ing pupils, Humphrey Mackworth Praed of Trevethoe. Samuel 

 Foote, the comedian, who always begged for a holiday for the
