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. L. _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." W.S. Richmond, Surrey. _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: "quod Gualtherus noster una cum Nicolao Partrigio Anglo in Angliam iter suscepit. Quatuor illud mensibus et aliquot dieb
