"Inscriptio in horto Auctoris apud Alton in Com.
Wilt.

M. S.
Gulielmi Crowe,
Signif. Leg. iv.
Qui cecidit in acie,
8 die Jan. A.D. 1815. Æt. s. 21."
has the following differences: line 7., "respexit" for "ascripsit;" l. 9.,
"solvo" for "pono." L. 10. and the following lines stand thus:
"Quinetiam assidue hic veniam, lentæque senectæ,
De Te, dulce Caput, meditando, tempora ducam:
Sæpe Tuam recolens formam, moresque decentes,
Dictaque, tum sancto, et sapienti corde profecta,
Tum festiva quidem, et vario condita lepore.
Id mihi nunc solamen erit, dum vita manebit.
Tu verò, quicunque olim successoris Hæres,
Sedibus his oro, moesti reverere parentis,"
and so on to the end, with one or two alterations; except in the
penultimate line, "sit" for "stet;" and, in the last, "jucundi" for
"dilecti."

[LORD BRAYBROOKE was certainly not aware that Crowe's monody had been
published with his Poems. LORD BRAYBROOKE'S version was copied, about
thirty years ago, _verbatim et literatim_, from a manuscript in the
handwriting of the late Lord Glastonbury, who died in 1825.]
_Daubuz_ (Vol. vi., p. 527.).--An interesting notice of the Rev. Charles
Daubuz occurs in Hunter's _Hallamshire_, p. 175. It is unnecessary to quote
the whole, and I shall content myself with merely observing that if the
dates in the {145} _Hallamshire_ are to be depended upon, and I have almost
invariably found them correct, there is a slight inaccuracy in the note
copied from the commentary. Mr. Hunter writes--
"He (Daubuz) was a native of Guienne, but at twelve years of age was
driven from his native country, with his only surviving parent Julia
Daubuz, by the religious persecution of 1686. In 1689 he was admitted
of Queen's College, Cambridge, and remained in college till 1696, when
he accepted the situation of head master of the (Grammar) School of
Sheffield. He left Sheffield in 1699 on being presented to the Vicarage
of Brotherton near Ferry-Bridge, where he was much loved and respected.
He died there on the 14th of June, 1717," &c.
W. S. (Sheffield.)
When the Levant Company surrendered their charter to the crown in the year
1826, Mr. J. T. Daubuz was treasurer to the Company. He was a highly
respected merchant in the city of London, and had purchased the estate of
Offington, near Worthing in Sussex, an estate formerly belonging to the
Lords De la Warr. Mr. Daubuz still resides at Offington.

_The Bride's Seat in Church_ (Vol. vi., p. 424.).--One of the sermons
mentioned in Surtees' note, and inquired after by J. R. M., M.A., was
written by William Whately, the learned and celebrated Puritan, who was
vicar of Banbury in Oxfordshire. It is entitled
