The next regiment (p. 66) was raised in the north of Ireland, in 1693, by Colonel Henry Cunningham, as a regiment of Dragoons, but was disbanded in 1714 owing to reductions in the army. On Aug. 25, 1715, however, orders were issued for it to be restored " to have, hold, and enjoy its former .rank," as if it had "not been broke." It was accordingly re-formed.
In 1777 it was styled the " Eighth (or the King's Royal Irish) Regiment of (Light)

SAINT SIMON DE SANDRIGOURT.
IN the process of describing the MSS., In-
cunabula, &c., of a private library there has
passed through my hands an illuminated
MS. Book of Hours of the fifteenth
century which formerly belonged to the
Saint Simons of Sandricourt near Damblain-
ville ; Calvados, Normandy. On the last
two vellum lepver are entries which may be
of interest to those of your readers who
concern themselves with genealogy. Un-
fortunately the book has been rebound in
two volumes and a page at least is missing,
the last entry being incomplete.
