also in all the subsequent convocations during the reign of 
king Charles I. Four years afterwards, he was installed into 
a prebend in the cathedral church of Lincoln. In 1631, he 
w’as appointed one of the chaplains to the king. During 
his first month’s attendance at court in his new capacity, the 
king put to him many cases of conscience, which he was 
enabled to solve in a manner that gave his majesty entire 
satisfaction. At the end of the month, the king told him 
“ he should long for next November, for he was resolved to 
have a more intimate acquaintance with him when the month 
and he returned.” When the time arrived, it is said that the 
king was never absent from his sermons, and was accustomed 
to say, “ I carry my ears to hear other preachers, but I carry 
my conscience to hear Mr. Sanderson, and to act accord¬ 
ingly.” This sort of flattery, and his own interest, easily 
attached Sanderson to the royal cause; and, during the pro¬ 
tectorate, he was deprived of his Oxford professorship, and 
fell into oblivion. On the restoration of Charles II. he was 
re-instated in his professorship, and in the canonry of Oxford; 
and very soon afterwards, he was nominated to the bishopric 
of Lincoln, and was consecrated in October, 1660, when he 
was upwards of 73 years of age. In the following year, he 
was one of the commissioners at the Savoy conference, and 
he had a principal hand in the alterations which were made 
in the liturgy. He died in 1663. 
He possessed a very extraordinary memory, and could 
repeat almost the whole of Horace, and Juvenal, and Persius; 
and he was accustomed to say, that he took as much delight, 
when alone in the repetition of an ode in Horace, as others 
do in playing a tune on some instrument. He was held in 
high esteem among his contemporaries, particularly by the 
celebrated Dr. Hammond, who speaks of him in terms of 
peculiar commendation. His attachment to the church of 
England was sincere and zealous, but he was steadily averse 
from all harsh measures against the Puritans. His principal 
works, besides those already mentioned, are, “ Physic® 
Scienti® Compendium;” “Sermons;” “Nine Cases of Con¬ 
science resolved;” “ De Juramenti Promissorii Obligatione 
Pr®lectiones Septem;” “ Discourse concerning the Church,” 
in various particulars; “ The History and Antiquities of the 
Cathedral, at Lincoln,” published in Peck’s “ Desiderata 
Curiosa.” Biog. Brit. 
SANDERSON (Robert), an antiquary of considerable 
note. He was born July 27, 1660, at Eggleston-hall, in 
the county of Durham, and entered a student of St. John’s 
College, Cambridge. He remained in the university several 
years, and was contemporary with the celebrated Matthew 
Prior. Removing to London, he afterwards turned his atten¬ 
tion to the law, and was appointed clerk of the rolls, in the 
Rolls’ Chapel. He contributed largely to the compilation of 
Rymer’s Fcedera, and was exclusively concerned in arrang¬ 
ing the three concluding volumes, from eighteen to twenty, 
which he successively dedicated to kings George I. and II. 
In 1704, he published a translation of “ Original Letters 
from William III., whilst Prince of Orange, to Charles II., 
Lord Arlington, and others, with an Account of the Prince’s 
Reception at Middleburgh, and his Speech on that Occa- 
sioh;” dedicating the book to Lord Woodstock. He also 
wrote “ A History of Henry V.” in the way of annals, in 
nine volumes, of which the first four have been lost, and the 
others still remain in manuscript amongst his papers. In 
1714, he became a candidate for the place of historiographer 
to Queen Anne, and received a very handsome offer of assist¬ 
ance from Matthew Prior, at that time ambassador to the 
court of France. His success, however, was prevented by the 
change of ministry which succeeded on the Queen’s death. 
On the 28th of November, 1726, he was appointed usher of 
the high court of Chancery, by Sir Joseph Jekyll, the Master 
of the Rolls. He died December 25, 1741, at his house in 
Chancery-lane, in the 79th year of his age, and was buried 
in Red-Lion-Fields. He left behind him several volumes of 
MSS., relating chiefly to history, and the court of Chancery, 
and including a transcript of Thurloe’s State Papers. He 
kept a diary, in which he noted down, with minute atten¬ 
tion, the slightest occurrences of his life.

SANDERSTEAD, a parish of England, in Surrey, 
which has a delightful and extensive prospect, on the north 
to Croydon, on the north-west to Harrow-on-the-Hill, and 
over some part of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, also into 
Southamptonshire, and over Bansted Downs. In this parish 
is Purley, which was the seat of the famous Bradshaw, who 
presided at the trial of Charles I. It was also lately the resi¬ 
dence of John Horne Tooke, where he wrote his celebrated 
work, called “ The Diversions of Purley.” 
SANDEVER, or Sandiver, called also the gall and the 
axungia of glass, is the recrement of glass; or the white 
porous scum or sediment that arises in large crucibles em¬ 
ployed in the manufacture of glass. 
This substance appears to be a confused mass, consisting 
of all those salts contained in common alkalies, which readily 
melt at somewhat less than a glass-making heat, and are 
either naturally considerably volatile, or have little, if any, 
affinity for silex, and do not unite in the composition of glass, 
but being superficially lighter, rise to the top. There is 
another heterogeneous substance also, called sandiver, which 
sometimes is found at the bottom of the pots, and is taken 
out when the whole is worked off. The nature of this is 
very different from the other, and consists apparently of a 
vitrified mass of arsenic and earthy impurities. 
It is reported by many authors of great credit, that this 
salt, in its genuine form, and no way differing from such as 
is separated from glass, is thrown out in great abundance in 
the eruptions of the burning mountains, and lies about in 
lumps of a spungy texture and great size, or in smaller solid 
ones, among the sciarri and ashes thrown out at those times. 
The more firm and solid pieces are the most pure, and are 
generally of a fine white; the others not unfrequently are 
tinged blueish or yellow, and have sometimes some of the 
melted matter of the sciarri blended among the mass, and 
filling up some of the cavities. In the catalogue of the spe¬ 
cimens of substances thrown out of Mount /Etna in one of 
its eruptions, and sent as a present to the Royal Society, we 
find mention of several pieces of sandiver, but without any 
particular description. Phil. Trans.
