this art was revived in that country in 
this manner : 
‘¢ Tt feemed ftrange to us to ‘obferve 
feveral pieces of painted glafs is the 
windows of our Effendis Houle, infcribed 
in Turkilh characters with the name of 
the proprietor, together with fome_ reli- 
gious fencences of Mahomeian devotion: 
but we were much more furprized, when 
we were informed that it was the manu- 
facture of this place, [Magnefa]; for it 
is {tained with a beautiful as well as 
Gurabie colour, and comes up to the per- 
fe&tion of the bet we have feen in Eng- 
Jand. This gave us occafion to reflect 
on the different fortune of arts and fci- 
“ences, which, like men, feem to take de- 
light in fhifting their ftation; for while 
other arts have now left thefe places, 
and travelled weftward, this alone, in 
exchange for all the refi, feems to have 
reticed into this, and is deplored as lok 
in Chrifendom.”’ Soon aster, p. 8, he 
fays, that ‘‘ the windows of their mofques 
are furnifhed with excellent painted giafs 
full of flower-work and religious infcrip- 
tions.” But as their religion forbids 
making reprefentations of men, fo by 
that injunction the chief beauty of that 
art is_of no benefit to them; inafmuch 
as it deprives them of the ufe of hiftory 
‘painting, the moft excellent.of all in 
that art. 
NAMES OF MEN AND FAMILIES. 
I have a vaft cclie&tion of odd names 
of perfons, fcattered up and down in 
loofe papers, that I have been heaping 
tegether for many years, and whether I 
fhall ever put them together is more than 
I can fay, as it wiil occafion me fome 
trouble. It confifis of original names, 
before furnames were generally int: oduc- 
ed, greatly colle€ted trom the crigiaal 
Chartularizs of Crowlend Abbey and 
‘Spalding Priory: of odd aud fantattical 
naines; puritannical names in the time — 
of, and preceding the grand rebellicn: 
names taken from trades and eccupati- 
ons: with various other denominations: 
as compound names from cock and «weed 
particularly. The trouble of reducing 
them into a regular or alphabetical order 
deters me from meddling with them, and 
therefore, probably, my labour may he 
loft, in colle&ting them. 
The French have a work of a fimilar

converiation with a gentleman in a ftreet 
of the city of Wiliamfburgh, returned 
the falute of a Negro, who was pafling 
by about his mafter’s bufinefs. Sir, faid 
the gentleman, does your honour defeend 
fo far as to faiute a flave? Why, yes, 
replied the Governor; I cannot fuffer a 
man of his condit:on to exceed me in 
good manners, Perhaps never reprimand 
was mere delicate. How different an 
impreifion the fo!lowing incident gives 
us of another Governor of Virginia * 
The laws of that countiy were formerly 
oppreflive to the Quakers. Lord Howard

Original LETTER from BISHOP MADCX, 
to DR. ZACH. GRAY. 
REVEREND SIR, - 
The dangerous illnefs and fince that 
the death of a very near relation, has 
prevented my acknowledging fooner the 
favour of your letter, and very obliging 
congratulations. 
I have always thought Mr. Neale’s 
an unneceffary and injurious attack upon 
the great inftruments of the blefled re- 
formatibn in this kingdom; and cannot 
bot be fomewhat furprized, that Mr. 
Jennings fhould adventure to avow in 
print fuch an affertion with regard te 
Mr. Neale’s bifforical performances, which 
by evidence, and by evidence only, you 
have convicted of fo many grofs, IT with 
(eipecialiy as he is now dead, and can’t 
defend him‘elf) there were lefs ground 
to believe them wilful, miffakes. 
You are pleafed te mention a Review 
Of the Hijtory of the Puritans, and like- 
wife a dehign of my Vindication, &c. 
I fuppofe you intend thefe to go together 
“as one performance, which may be very 
proper, ‘to give the world, at ore view, 
a juft notion of the whole Hiftory of the 
Puritans.
