His Lordship is Knight of the Garter, Governor of Guernsey, Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire; High Steward of Salisbury; and Visitor of Jesus College, Oxford.

EARL OF BRIDGEWATER.-P. 170.

P. 200. The Hon. Thomas Egerton of Tatton-park, Cheshire, died October 29th, 1685, as appears by an old accountbook, in the hand-writing of his widow, now in my possession. His widow, Hesther, died October 7th, 1724. (Histor. Reg. ix. p. 44, Diary.) William Egerton, LL.D. her third son, was made Prebendary of Canterbury, (in the room of Dr. Delangle, deceased), November 18th, 1724; and presented to the Rectory of All Hallows, Lombard-street, September 2d, 1732.

Elizabeth, sister of the late William (Tatton) Egerton, Esq. married October 20th, 1770, the late Sir Christopher Sykes of Sledmere, in Yorkshire, Bart. who died in September, 1801, leaving two daughters and four sons, of whom the youngest daughter married her first cousin, Wilbraham Egerton, Esq. of Tattonpark, and Sir Mark Sykes, Bart. the eldest son, is member of parliament for the city of York; and has adorned his noble seat at Sledmere with a splendid library, and all the lustre of the arts. Mr. Tatton of Withenshaw, younger brother of Wilbraham Egerton, Esq. of Tatton, married Emma, daughter of the Hon. Booth Grey. See p. 368.

P. 200. Note (r) There is a mistake in this note: on further research it appears, that the wife of Robert Busby was not descended from the Haringtons; her mother was a daughter of Sir Cambell, Lord Mayor.

P. 220. Lady Amelia Hume, died August 8th, 1809. Her second daughter, Amelia Sophia, married, July 24th, 1810, John Cust, present and second Lord Brownlow, by whom she has a daughter, born April 14th, 1811.

P. 243.

EARL OF NORTHAMPTON.-P. 223.

Quere? if there are not male issue surviving from Charles, Edward, or James Compton, sons of Hatton Compton, son of Sir Charles Compton, second son of the second Earl of Northampton, who fell at the battle of Hopton-heath, 1642? The Rev. T. F. Dibdin, in his Introduction to the Classics, speaks of his maternal ancestor, Dr. Compton, Bishop of London, who

was brother to Sir Charles. I presume Mr. D. means collateral ancestor, as the bishop died without issue.

EARL OF DONCASTER.---P. 510.

P. 511. On the subject of the creation of the Dukedom of Buccleugh, T. B. Howell, Esq. the very learned and industrious editor of Cobbet's State Trials, has favoured me with the following important communication:

SIR,

In a note to the eleventh volume of the new edi

tion of the "State Trials," p 1063, I have said, that upon the marriage of Monmouth with the Countess of Buccleugh, he was created Duke, and she was created Duchess of Buccleugh,- &c. in Scotland, by letters patent, April 20th, 1663, and I have mentioned my authorities, Collins and Beatson; but having just now been at Edinburgh, I there caused to be transcribed from the Record Office, the original patent, the words of which as to this, are "Jacobum Monmuthii Ducem filium nostrum naturalem et heredes ejus masculos ex corpore suo inter illum et Anuam Comitissam de Buchcleuch, procreandos Quibus deficientibus heredes quoscunque e suo corpore descendentes qui succedent in predia et comitatum de Buckcleuch Duces de Buccleuch Comites de Dalkeith Dominos Scot a Whytchester et Eskdaill omni tempore futuro denominentur vocantur et designentur." Now Douglas mentions that the patent (of which he speaks as Collins does) was granted in April, 1673. But there is no patent to Monmouth of that date, nor between 1663 and that period. The forfeiture of Monmouth, as Duke of Buccleuch, I have recorded in "State Trials," vol. ii. p. 1061. It is true, that by the eighteenth chapter of the second session of the first parliament of King William and Queen Mary, (Edinburgh, April 25th, 1690) entitled, "Act rescinding the Forfeitures and Fines past since the Year 1665," among a great number of persons, of whom by name the decreit and dooms of forfeitures are rescinded, (see 4 Laing, 231, second edition, and my note, vol. xii. p. 1011,) is mentioned "James, sometime Duke of Buccleugh and Monmouth." Mr. Walter Scott is of opinion that the Dukedom of Buccleuch is at present inherited under the operation of this act; but still a difficulty remains, for it seems agreed that no male descendant of Monmouth assumed the title of Buccleuch until the death of the Duchess, in 1732, from which fact we must infer, that the title
