This error is corrected by Nichols, Vol. IV, p. 496. But in Gent. Mag., August and October, 1802, certain inquiries about a Commonplace Book " kept by Lord Winchilsea in 1721 " are answered in a note attributing the book to the Lord Winchilsea who died January 1, 1730. But this again was Daniel Finch, who held the earldom 1726-30. The book was by Heneage Finch, the fourth earl. �P. xlvii, 1. 6: "Mr. Creyk." See Archceologia, Vol. I, p. xxxvii, for note on "Mr. Creyke." Also Clarke, Life of James II., Vol. II, Appendix, for signed statement by " J. Creyk " January 10, 172?-, concerning the disposition made by him of important historical documents formerly in the possession of the late earl of Winchilsea. Also letters in which the earl of Winchilsea refers to Mr. Creyk, in Nichols, Illustrations of the Literary Hist, of 18th Cent., Vol. II, p. 769 ff. The letter by Mr. Creyk on Lord Winchilsea's death (quoted p. Ixxxvi) is in Vol. II, p. 783. ��� �
