Report of the Meetings for 1895. 243 



Of this noble book, in folio, Mr Clutterbuck has a beautiful 

 copy, adorned with fine maps. 



To Horsley's friend and associate, Eobert Cay of Newcastle 

 and of North Charlton, we owe the preservation of the "MS. 

 Materials | for the | History of Northumberland | by 

 THE Eev. John Horsley [ 1729-30 | in four chapters | 

 with George Mark's* Sukvey of Northumberland, 1734," 

 which were printed by the late Mr John Hodgson-Hinde. 



Horsley's Map of the County was completed by Mark, and 

 published under the following title: — "A Map of Northum- 

 berland, begun by the late Mr John Horsley, F.R.S., continued 

 by the Surveyor he employed, and dedicated to the Eight 

 Honourable Hugh, Earl of Northumberland, by E. Cay. A. 

 Bell, sculp. Edinburgh, 1753." As a companion work to 

 the map there was published :—" An | Index | of | Places 

 mentioned | in Mr Horsley's Map of | Northumberland | 

 Edinburgh | Printed by Hamilton Balfour and Neill | 

 M.DCC.LIII. I " A copy of the latter, presented in 1834 

 by Mr John Cay of Edinburgh to the Eev. John Hodgson, 

 is in the possession of the writer. 



A memoir of Horsley was published by the Eev. John 

 Hodgson in 1831 : an admirable paper, by Mr Hodgson- 

 Hinde, is printed in the Arch. ^L, Vol. vi., and there are 

 incidental notices in Vol. vii. of the same publication in Mr 

 White's Biographical Notice of John Hodgson-Hinde. 



But there are some further notices which are not generally 

 accessible, mostly gathered from the Collection of the late 

 Mr William Woodman.
