ERRATA AND ADDENDA.
Introduction, p. xiv., for _Dean Miller_ read _Dean Milles_.
JOHN ANSTIS. (Vol. i., p. 33.)
His heraldic and other collections now form part of the Stowe MSS. in
the British Museum.
See also p. 78 of that Catalogue.
THE ARUNDELLS.
'_Sir John Arundell_, the Vice-Admiral of Cornwall who took prisoner
Duncan Campbell, the Scottish pirate, is said to have been a native of
Truro.'--Lysons 'Magna Britannia--Cornwall,' p. 313. (Vol. i., p. 84.)
'In Norden's time' (says Lysons), 'the Arundells had twelve seats in
Cornwall.'
_Sir Thomas_ (afterwards Lord) _Arundel_ of Wardour, 1595, at
Strigonium (Gran), says, 'being arrived at the camp at the very instant
of that great and onlie Battaile between us and the Turks, unknown unto
anie, and uncommanded of anie, I presented myselfe in the front of the
armie, where, by reason of my plumes of feathers, of my armour, bases
and furniture, all full of gould and silver (a thing there altogether
unusual), I was presently marked by all men's eyes.'--_Vide_ 'Count
Arundell's Apologie to Lord Burghley.' (Vol. i., p. 58.)
THE BASSETS. (Vol. i., p. 107.)
_Philip Basset_ was appointed Chief Justiciary of England by Henry
III., in place of Hugh le Despenser, _circ._ 1260, after the attempt
of the barons to seize the King's person at Winchester.--(Pat. 45 Hen.
III., m. 8; and Rot. Claus., 45 Hen. III., m. 10 dors.)
The Royal Cornwall Infirmary, which dates from 1779, contains a tablet
which records 'the establishment, permanency, and usefulness of the
charity to be chiefly due to the munificent liberality and unwearied
exertions of _Francis, Lord de Dunstanville_.' (Vol. i., p. 36.)
HENRY BONE, R.A. (Vol. i., p. 159.)
Many beautiful examples of his works are preserved at Mr. Hope's,
Deepdene, near Dorking.
THE BOSCAWENS. (Vol. i., p. 199.)
The well-known non-juror, Bishop Trelawny, was a Dean of Buryan.
See the seal of the Deans figured in Rev. W. Iago's paper, R. I. C.
Journal, vol. viii., part i., March, 1884.
THE GODOLPHINS. (Vol. i., p. 378.)
There is a portrait of the celebrated Margaret Godolphin at Wotton, the
seat of the Evelyns.
The letter signed 'Frances Godolphin,' vol. i., p. 173, should read as
signed 'Frances St. Aubyn.'
THE GRENVILLES. (Vol. ii., p. 67.)
John Grenville (afterwards Earl of Bath) was Lieutenant-General of the
Ordnance 1702-5.
SIR BEVILL GRENVILLE. (Vol. ii., p. 64.)
I am indebted to a recent very interesting biography of Sir Bevill by
Mr. Alfred R. Robbins (which I did not see until the chapter on the
Grenvilles had gone through the press) for information on the following
points, which had escaped my notice.
Sir Bevill gave a silver cup to Exeter College.
