In the _Irish Compendium, or Rudiments of Honour_, vol. iii. pp. 64, 65., 2nd ed.: London, 1727, we read that Lord Richard Boyle, born in 1566, married as second wife "Catharine, only daughter to Sir Jeffry Fenton; by her had five sons and seven daughters, of which the Lady Lettice was married to _George Lord Goring_."--V. D. N. _From the Navorscher._ _Chaplains to Noblemen_ (Vol. vii., p. 163.).--There is, in the Faculty Office in Doctors' Commons, an entry kept of the appointments of chaplains when brought to be registered. Under what authority the entry is made does not seem very clear. The register does not extend beyond the year 1730, though there may be amongst the records of the office in St. Paul's some earlier notices of similar appointments. G. _The Duke of Wellington Maréchal de France_ (Vol. vii., p. 283.).--The Duke of Wellington is indebted to the writer in the _Revue Britannique_ for his dukedom and bâton of France, and not to Garter King-at-Arms. No such titles were attributed to his Grace or proclaimed by Garter, as a reference to the official accounts in the _London Gazette_ will show. The Order of St. Esprit was the only French honour ascribed to him; that Order he received and frequently wore, the insignia of which were displayed, with his numerous other foreign honours, at the lying-in-state. Such being the case, Garter will not perhaps be expected to produce the diploma for either the title of _Duc de Brunoy_ or the rank of _Maréchal de France_. C. G. Y. _Lord North_ (Vol. vii., p. 207.).--MR. FORSTER has, it seems, blundered a piece of old scandal into an insinuation at once absurd and treasonable. The scandal was _not_ of Lord Guilford and the Princess Dowager, but of Frederick Prince of Wales and Lady Guilford. On this I will say no more than that the supposed resemblance between King George III. and Lord North is very inaccurately described by MR. FORSTER in almost every point except the _fair complexion_. The king's figure was not clumsy--quite the reverse, nor his face homely, nor his lips thick, nor his eyebrows bushy, nor his eyes protruding like Lord North's; but there was certainly something of a general look which might be called resemblance, and there was above all (which is not alluded to) the curious coincidence of the _failure of sight_ in the latter years of both. Lord North was the only son of Lord Guilford's _first_ marriage: I know not whether the children of the _second_ bed inherited defective sight; if they did, it would remove one of the strongest grounds of the old suspicion. C. _Mediæval Parchment_ (Vol. vii., p. 155.).--The method of preparing parchment for illumination will be found in the _Birch and Sloane MSS._, under "Painting and Drawing," &c., where are a number of curious MS. instructions on the subject, written chiefly in the sixteenth century, in English, French, and Italian.
