Liberty of the Island to Mr. Lambert. [In dorso.] The King's order for Mr. Lambert's liberty. In Rees's _Cyclopaedia_, art. AMARYLLIS, sect. 27., _A. Sarniensis_, Guernsey lily, I find the following statement: "It was cultivated at Wimbledon, in England, by General Lambert, in 1659." As Guernsey, during the civil wars, sided with the Parliament, it is probable that Lambert procured the roots from some friend in the island. The exact date of his arrival as a prisoner in Guernsey is fixed by a sort of journal kept by Pierre Le Roy, schoolmaster and parish clerk of St. Martin de la Bellouse in that island, who says: "Le 17^e de 9vembre, 1661, est arrive au Chateau Cornet, Jean Lambert, generall des rebelles secteres en Angleterre, ennemy du roy, et y est constitue prisonnier pour sa vie."
