_MSS. of Sir Roger Twysden_ (No. 5. p. 76.).--Twysden's MSS. were
purchased by Sir Thomas Sebright, in or before the year 1715, and in the
Sebright sale at Leigh and Sotheby's, in 1807, appear to be two of the
MSS. inquired after by the Rev. L.B. Larking, namely, Lot 1224., "Vita
et Epistolæ Sancti Thomæ, Archiepiscopi Cant." (purchased by Heber, and,
at his sale in 1836, resold [Lot 323.] to Sir Thomas Phillipps), and Lot
1225., "Epistolæ Beati Anselmi, Archieposcopi Cant.", purchased by
Dardis; but what became of it afterwards I know not.
F.M.
_Royal Genealogies_ (No. 6. p. 92.).--The inquirer will find, probably,
what he requires, in a work by J.F. Dambergen, entitled, "Sechzig
genaealogische auch chronologische und statistische Tabellen, zu
Fürstentafel und Fürstenbuch der Europäischen Staatengeschichte," fol.
Regensburg, 1831, in which the descents are brought down to a recent
period.
F.M.
_Astle's MSS._ (No. 15. p. 230.).--After the death of Astle, in 1803,
his collection of MSS. was purchased, pursuant to his will, for the sum
of 500l., by the Marquess of Buckingham, and they remained at Stowe till
the spring of last year, when they passed, with the rest of that noble
collection, into the hands of the Earl of Ashburnham, for the sum of
8000l.;--a loss to the public much to be regretted.
F.M.
_Dr. Hugh Todd's MSS_. (No. 16. p. 246.).--The first of the five MSS.
mentioned by Mr. Walbran, namely, the Chartulary of Fountains Abbey, is
at present in University College, Oxford, and perhaps some of the other
MSS. may be there also. A catalogue of the MSS. of this College has been
printed, compiled by the Rev. H.O. Coxe, of the Bodleian Library; but I
have not been able to consult a copy of it in London.
F.M.
_Sir William Ryder_ (No. 12. p. 186.),--"H.F." is informed that Sir
William Ryder, Lord Mayor of London in 1660, lived at Bethnal Green,
received the honour of knighthood, 12th March, 1660 or 1661; died 30th
August, 1669; and was buried 9th September following at St. Andrew
Undershaft, London. He had two sons, one of whom was Thomas Ryder, who
was an equerry to King James II., and lord of the manor of Bilsington,
in Kent. He performed some service at the coronation of Queen Anne; and
his son, Sir Barnham Ryder, was knighted at the coronation of her
successor. The other son of Sir William Ryder was William Ryder,
gentleman. Sir William Ryder had five daughters:--1. Elizabeth, who
married Richard, son of Sir Thomas Midleton, of Chirk Castle in
Denbighshire, knight. 2. Priscilla, the wife of Richard Baylie, son of
Dr. Baylie, Dean of {283} Sarum. 3. Mary. 4. Anne. 5. Martha.--_Harl.
MSS._ 5801, 5802.
F.E.
_Scole Inn._--In answer to the query (No. 16. p. 245.) respecting the
Sign and House at Scole Inn, I beg to refer to vol. ii. p. 142., of the
_History of Norfolk_, published by Crouse and Booth of Norwich, in 1781,
in 10 vols. 8vo.
