ity a compilation from a
work written by a Spanish Jesuit, named John Eusebius Nieremberg. The
treatise _Holy Living and Dying_ is unquestionably Bishop Taylor's, and
forms Vol. III. of his works, now in the course of publication under
the editorship the Rev. Charles Page Eden.]
_Portrait of Bishop Henchman_ (Vol. iii., p. 8.).--Your correspondent Y.Y.
is informed, that there is in the collection of the Earl of Clarendon, at
the Grove, a full-length portrait of Bishop Henchman, by Sir Peter Lely.
This picture, doubtless, belonged to the Chancellor Clarendon. Lord
Clarendon, in his _History of the Rebellion_, b. xiii. (vol. vi. p. 540.
ed. Oxford, 1826), describes the share which Dr. Henchman, then a
prebendary of Salisbury, had in facilitating the escape of Charles II.,
after the battle of Worcester. Dr. Henchman conducted the king to a place
called Heale, near Salisbury, then belonging to Serjeant Hyde, afterwards
made chief justice of the King's Bench by his cousin the chancellor.

_Lines attributed to Charles Yorke_ (Vol. ii., p. 7.).--The editor of
Bishop Warburton's _Literary Remains_ is informed, that the lines
transcribed by him, "Stript to the naked soul," &c., have been printed
lately in a work entitled _The Sussex Garland_, published by James Taylor,
formerly an eminent bookseller at Brighton, but now removed to Newick,
Sussex. The lines appear to have been written on Mrs. Grace Butler, who
died at Rowdel, in Sussex, in the 86th year of her age, by Alexander Pope,
but, according to Taylor, not inserted in any edition of Pope's works. The
lines will be found in the 9th and 10th Nos. of _The Sussex Garland_, p.
285., under "Warminghurst."

_Rodolph Gualter_ (Vol. iii., p. 8.).--
"Rodolph Gualter naquit a Zurich en 1519, et y mourut en 1586. Il fit
ses etudes dans sa ville natale, a Lausanne, a Marbourg, et en
Angleterre. Rodolph, son fils, mort en 1577, avait fait de tres bonnes
etudes a Geneve, en Allemagne, et a l'universite d'Oxford."
The above I have extracted from the account of him given in the _Biographie
Universelle_, which refers as authority to "J.B. Huldrici Gualtherus
redivivus seu de vita et morte Rod. Gualtheri oratio, 1723," in the
Biblioth. Bremens., viii. p. 635. In this memoir I find it stated:

suscepit. Quatuor illud mensibus et aliquot dieb
