all this while by his
chair of state, toward the east side of the theatre, and turning his
face to the several sides of the theatre, at such time as the
archbishop at every of them spake to the people. At every of which the
people signified their willingness and joy by loud acclamations."]

_William Warner._--Where can any account be found of Warner the poet, the
author of _Albion's England_?

I. R. R.

[Some account of William Warner will be found in Wood's _Athenae
Oxonienses_. vol. i. pp., 765-773. (Bliss); also in Percy's _Reliques
of Ancient English Poetry_, vol. ii. p. 261., edit. 1812. From the
register of Amwell, in Herts, it appears that he died there March 9,
1608-9, "soddenly in the night in his bedde, without any former
complaint or sicknesse;" and that he was "a man of good yeares and
honest reputation; by his profession an attorney at the Common
Please."--Scott's _Amwell_, p. 22. note.]

"_Isle of Beauty._"--Who was the author of "Isle of Beauty?" I always
thought Thomas Haynes Bayly, but some say Lord Byron. Not knowing Mrs.
Bayly's immediate address, I send this Query. I much regret not asking her
when I sent my volume of poems, with view of poor Bayly's Grove,
Cheltenham.

L. M. THORNTON.

14. Philip Street, Bath.

[The "Isle of Beauty" is by Thomas Haynes Bayly, and is given among his
_Songs, Ballads, and other Poems_, edited by his widow, vol. i. p. 182.
edit. 1844.]

_Edmund Lodge._--Can you give me the date of the death of Edmund Lodge, the
herald? I suppose there will be some account of him in the Obituary of the
_Gentleman's Magazine_, to which I wish to refer. Was he a descendant of
the Rev. Edmund Lodge, the predecessor of Dawes in the Mastership of Queen
Elizabeth's Grammar School at Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

E. H. A.

[Edmund Lodge died January 16, 1839. An account of him is given in the
_Gentleman's Magazine_ for April, 1839, p. 433.]

_King John._--Baines, in his _History of Liverpool_, p. 77., says King John
"was at Lancaster on the 26th February 1206, and at Chester on the 28th
February following." What route did he take from the first to the
second-named town, and what was the object of his visit?

PRESTONIENSIS.

[Upon reference to the Introduction to the _Patent Rolls_, it appears
that John was at Lancaster from Monday the 21st to Sunday 27th, from
Monday 28th to Wednesday 1st March at Chester,
