12 S. VIII. FEB. 26, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 179 pan," as the newspaper correspondent terms it. This frontispiece is, in all essentials, a reduced copy, with direction of the figures reversed, of a large' copperplate print, 37 in. by 22 in. " colected [sic] from Sand- ford and other best Authorities," depicting the coronation procession of James II., and showing the groom of the vestry carrying a fumigating appliance more primitive in form than that shown in the volume of 1820. No date is upon this large print,' which is lettered, "Printed and sold by Thomas Bowles in St. Paul's Churchyard, and Jno. Bowles & Son at ye Black Horse in Corn- liil [sic]." Bowles of the Black Horse was an early employer of William Hogarth as an engraver, ?nd the latter may have himself cut this coronation procession of 1685, as the print, from its appearance, was probably issued circa 1720.

ATTTHOK WANTED (12 S. viii. 132). * Seasonable Hints from an honest Man on the Present Crisis of a New Reign and a New Parliament,' 62 pp., London, 1761, was written by John Douglas (1721- 1807). It is an exposition of the sentiments of Pulteney, Earl of Bath, to whom it has been ascribed. Douglas was Bishop of Salisbury, and wrote various political pamphlets under Bath's direction, and in 1763 took part with Johnson in the detection of the Cuck-Lane Ghost. There is a notice of him in * D.N.B.' ARCHIBALD SPARK E. AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED. (12 S. viii. 91.) 3. Sir Edwin Arnold, K.C.I.E., wrote a poem called ' Destiny,' which begins : 'Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours,' However, 1 do not know in which volume of his Doems it is to be found. It is not in 'Poems National and Non-Oriental' (1888). JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT. The Manor of Hawkesbury and its Oicners. BJJ, the Rev. Henry Lyttelton Lyster Denny. (Gloucester, John Bellows). THE present Lord of the Manor of Hawkesbury and Upton is Sir Anthony Banks Jenkinson, 13th Baronet, born in 1912, who at the age of three suc- ceeded his grandfather, the 12th Baronet, in 1915. To him this family history is addressed, in memory of his father Capt. John Banks Jenkinson who went oui to France with the first Expeditionary force and fell at the Aisne in September, 1914. It is principally a pedigree, from which three or four characters stand out conspicuously, and in which, as a whole, the genealogist will find his account. Anthony Jenkinson, the merchant and traveller of Elizabeth's day, the first Englishman to make his way to Central Asia, makes an impressive appear- ance at the head of the line. He journeyed much in Russia, and treated face to face more than once with the Tsar. The Baronetcy dates from the Restoration ; the wife of the first Baronet vas the daughter of the heroic lady who defended Corfe Castle for Charles I. Sir Charles Jenkinson, the 7th Baronet, was, in 179(1, created Earl of Liverpool a politician and something of a verse-writer, whose son, the 2nd Earl was the Tory Prime Minister of a century ago. With the death of the third Earl and ninth Baronet without male issue the Baronetcy went to his first cousin Charles, elder brother of the Bishop of St. David's, whose son succeeded him. Hawkesbury is a parish in Gloucestershire the old Manor House of which was for centuries the residence of the Jenkinsons. However, a tragedy it would seem in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century caused them to abandon it. A daughter of the Baronet of the day fell in love with the son of a neighbouring Roman Catholic family. Her father forbade their marriage, but allowed the lover to come and say good-bye. The girl, leaning from the window to wave farewell, overbalanced herself, fell out and was killed. Years later Hawkesbury was lent to the young mother of the Prime Minister, for change of air after her child's birth ; she died on her journey thither, and her body was brought to the house, which soon afterwards bein^c made gloomy by such sad associations was pulled down. The Church at Hawkesbury contains numerous memorials of the Jenkinson family, and is of considerable interest also as a fabric. The foun- dation dates from Saxon times, and every period thereafter is represented. It had been consider- ably defaced at and after the Reformation in the usual manner, but since 1882 its restoration has been taken in hand. The book is lavishly illustrated with portraits. Charles Lamb : Miscellaneous Essays. Edited by Hamilton Thompson. (Pitt Press, 6s. net.)* AFTER eight years' interval another volume has been added to the Cambridge series of the writings of Charles Lamb. It should serve in the first place as a timely reminder of its predecessors. The ' Essays of Elia ' as Mr. Thompson presented them in 1913 satisfied the sense of fitness proper to a self-respecting reader. The size and type were right, the evidence of editorial scholarship complete yet not obtrusive. There have been more elaborate editions and their popularity showed they were suited to the public taste But the true lover of Elia is intolerant of illus- tration or adornment, he is an epicure and resents untimely seasoning of fare that is perfect in its in1ur.il s^.-ile. Tin- twin volumes of 1913 were designed for him, and from him their new com- panion is stecure of welcome. Admiration for the diction of the Essays does not by an nu-ans imply a love of Elia ; he makes his indefinable appeal to an instinct that may exist in the un-lettered and be lacking hi the rtwter-stylist. None can be familiar with his work and remain unconscious of his personality and unless we desire 1. be ail mil led to his con- fidence the secret of his charm, is hidden from. u.
