CAEN.' 
The Univerfity of Caen, in Normandy, 
was founded by John, Duke of Bedford, 
regent of France, in the name and by the 
authority of his nephew the young King 
Henry the VIth, in the year 1431, letters 
patent for which iffued out from under the 
great feal, dated at Rouen, in January 
that year; and in 1439, the eftablifiment 
of this Univerfity, with its privileges 
granted by King Henry VI. were con- 
firmed by two bulls of Pope Eugenius IV. 
In Dr. Ducarel’s Anglo Norman Antiqsi- 
ties, publithed 1767, p. 68, 1s the king’s 
letter of thanks to that Pope for this favour; 
with another alfo from the fame king, 
dated at Windfor, 18th of May, 1442, 
in the 2oth year of his reign, to Cardinal 
Placentinus, begging him to forward this 
affair with his Holinefs as much as lay as 
in his power. 
ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL. 
Mr. Grofe in the firft volume of his 
Antiquities of England afferts in the ac- 
count of St. George’s chapel Waindior, 
that King James the Second made ufe of 
it as a Popifh chapel, and had mafs faid 
init. But he makes a notorious blunder 
in taking the whole for a part only ; for.it 
was only a private fmall detached chapel 
that King James made ufe of as his cha- 
pel ; or rather the chapel adjoiming to St. 
George’s-hall in the caftle. ‘The cathe- 
dral was undifturbed and left as ufual, for 
the fole ufage of the dean and chapter. 
GOODRI!ICHE, BiSHOP OF ELY. 
In the fifth year of Edward the Sixth, 
when William, Marquis of Northampton, 
was fent with the Order of the Garter to 
Henry If. King of France, Bifhop Good- 
riche was joined in commiffion with him ; 
and at the inveftitere the bifhop made 
2 {peech to the king, to which the-Car- 
dinal of Lorraine returned an{wer in the 
king’s name, with all thankful acknow- 
ledgements of the honour of the order. 
As Bihhtov Goodriche had gone all lengths 
in King Edwerd’s Reformation, the meet- 
ing of him with the Cardinal of Lorraine 
muft have heen an awkard affair; and how 
his right reverend lordthip behaved, is not 
particularized, efpecially as there was a 
Coliant. 
[Dee. Ty 
folemn mafs fing at the inveftiture, at 
which were prefent the cardinals of Lor- 
Faine and Chatillon; if the laft was he 
who was here in Elizabeth’s reign, one 
may conceive him and our bifhop to be 
on better terms than with the Cardinal 
of Lorraine. 
ENGLISH PORTRAITS AT PARIS. 
I faw in November 1766, an indifferent 
picture of Bifhop Fither, with one of Sir 
Thomas More, Archbithep Plunket, &e. 
on aftaircafe near the priors apartment, 
of the Englifh Benedi&ines at Paris ; 
but a molt admirable one of Sir Thomas 
More, by Helbein, in the fine collection 
of the Duke of Orleans, at. the Palace 
Royal, at Paris alfo. 
HENRY CROMWELL. 
Henry Cromwell, fon to Oliver, and 
Deputy of Ireland, left one fon, Richard 
Cromwell, who was a major under Lord 
Galway, in Queen Anne’s wars in Spain, 
where be died ; he married Hannah, eldeft 
daughter of Benjamin Hewling, a Turkey 
merchant of London, by Hannah Kyffyn, 
his wife, names of figure in the fanatical, 
annals ; by this match he left a fon, Wm, 
Cromwell, who died in Kirby-ftreet, Hat. _- 
ton garden, in July 17725-who in the 
decline of life married, in 1750, the 
widow of Thomas Weftby, efq. who was 
alfo im years, This lady did not live 
long with Mr. Cromwell, and on her 
death left him a moderate fortune. Thefe 
particulars I gathered from a colleétion of 
letters publifhed by Mr. John Duncombe, 
of Canterbury, containing his uncle Mr,’ 
John Hughes’s correfpondence, in which 
the memory cf the Diffenters, Oliver’s 
family, chaplain, and particularly his 
grand-daughter. Mrs. Bridget Beadyfke, a 
fort of mad-woman, but here exalted into 
a heroine of the firft magnitude, is em- 
balmed. I went once with Mr. Alexan- 
der, of Baberham, to vifit Mr. Weflby, — 
at Linton, on his third marriage ; the 
bride wag a little deformed old woman, 
as formal and ceremonious as her hufband, 
fo that fhe mnft have been indeed in years 
when Mr. Cromwell married her. March -

SIR FRANCIS BACON. 
He generally feut his works, as they 
were publifhed, to the Univerfity of Cam- 
bridge, in mott rich and cofily bindings 
of velvet embroidered with gold, with a 
letter bound up with each as they came, ~ 
feveral of which in his own hand are now, 
1752, in the turret of the Univerfity li- 
brary among many uncatalogued books 
and manufcripts there. 2
