MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

We are obliged to X. X. for the ably-written character that he has sent us; which however we cannot use, without his permission to omit some of the early parts of it. D. K. who inquires, p. 98, for the Author of the Life of Oliver Cromwell, 1741, is informed that it was thought to be Bp. Gibson. C. F. G. will find an answer to his Queries respecting the descendants of William de Hastings, in Mr. Bell's entertaining "History of the Huntingdon Peerage," reviewed in January, p. 44; and more ample details of them, with copious Pedigrees, under Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in Mr. Nichols's "History of Leicestershire," vol. III.; where he may find, in particular, p. 577, some memoirs of Edward Lord Loughborough, with a Portrait of him from painted glass in the window of Stoke Pokeis Church, Bucks. He was the third son of George the first Earl of Huntingdon; was a Knight of the Garter; and died March 5, 1572-3, without any legitimate issue. See also Manning and Bray's Surrey, vol. III. p. 421.

A MINOR CORRESPONDENT is assured that the Periodical Work about which he enquires commenced in April 1764; but soon ceased to exist.

W. H. having noticed in our Editor's Preface to the new General Index, p. lxxix. that he is at a loss to discover which of the Macbeans was honoured by Dr. Johnson's protection; observes that it was Alexander, to whose Dictionary of Ancient Geography, 8vo. 1773, Dr. Johnson wrote the Preface.

A CONSTANT READER remarks, "I was induced to make some enquiries respecting the family of the Periderells (modernised to Pendrill), from seeing an account of them in vol. XC. ii. 607. It appears, that John Pendrill of Birmingham, is decidedly mistaken in supposing himself the last male branch of that distinguished family, as there is now living at Eastbourne in this county (Sussex), a direct descendant from "Trusty Richard," who receives 100 marks annually with right of free chase and free warren. The father of this man fought under the Duke of Cumberland in the Scotch Rebellion, and settled at Alfriston, in which place the present annuitant was born. I learn the above particulars from his eldest son John Penderell, who is a respectable innkeeper in Lewes, and who on taking the inn changed its sign from the White Horse to the Royal Oak. He has in his possession a portrait of Trusty Richard."

FACIALIS observes, "that in vol. XC. i. p. 416, is an account of the buckle as worn by the Pelhams. No mention, however, is made of the Bidun family, of Lavendon Castle, near Olney, Bucks, who bore chequée Argent and Gules, on a fess Azure, three round buckles Or. What honours this coat

signified, cannot now be affirmed in this instance, as little is known of that family beyond their names; that little is to be found in Dugdale."

H. C. B. "" says, as the following anecdote of the late King, emphatically stiled GEORGE THE GOOD, is not generally known, I take the liberty of circulating it through the medium of your interesting pages. I give it as related to me by a truly-respected veteran Professor of Music. His Majesty's refined skill in that science is universally acknowledged; he, many years ago, composed an air, which he gave to one of his attendants of the name of Bernard, who on Bickerstaff's transformation of 'the Village Opera' to Love in a Village,' introduced it in the character of Rosetta,' with appropriate words, viz. In love shou'd there meet a fond Pair.' The air possesses a tasteful ease and simplicity, worthy of the Royal composer."

PHILIP observes, the names of Institutions, &c. are sometimes imperfectly expressed so as to create mistakes; for instance, the Reverend Divines present at St. Paul's Cathedral on a certain anniversary, have been improperly designated "the Sons of the Clergy."

G. W. L. wishes to receive some account of "the ingenious but needy author, who compiled the words of the Messiah-an admirable selection." See review of Commemoration of Handel, in Mag. for June 1819. Surely One Guinea was a poor remuneration for his labour, but in this instance Handel's "thought" as well as taste predominated over generosity; the poor author not being treated with even one glass of his "hoarded rich flavoured wine!""

ASTROP inquires, whether a complete History of Bedfordshire is in contemplation, as such a work may be considered as a desideratum. He hopes that this small, but pleasant County will not be much longer without an Historian. Mr. DODD (whose address ASTROP inquires after), is a bookseller at Woburn, and has published a History of that town, reviewed in vol. XC. ii. 45.
