Henry Lawes, the Musician. "In 1784, in the house of Mr. Elderton, an 

 attorney in Salisbury, I saw an original portrait of Henry Lawes on board, 

 marked with his name, and ' iEtat. Suae 26, 1626.' (Sic; but the picture 

 itself is dated 1622. To the back of the picture is affixed a card on which is 

 written, apparently in Bishop Barrington's handwriting, ' This original portrait 

 of Henry Lawes, a native of Salisbury, the must distinguished musician of his 

 time, and the intimate friend of Milton, is left as an heirloom to the Palace 

 at Salisbury by Bp. Barrington, July 1, 1791.') This is now in the Bishop's 

 Palace at Salisbury. It is not ill painted ; the face and ruff in tolerable 

 preservation ; the drapery a cloak, much injured." Milton's Works, edited 

 by Rev. Henry John Todd, M.A., 1801, vol. v., p. 208.

 had in mind the wish to write a paper on this subject, but time has 

 failed me hitherto. I cannot pretend that I have been able to ac- 

 complish my wish to-night in the address which I shall have the 

 honour to give you as your unworthy President. I shall rely upon 

 our Members to help me with their stores of local knowledge, 

 naturally much greater than my own, in supplying my defects. 

 The method I shall pursue is first to trace the lines of Roman
