_Bishop Frampton_ (Vol. iii., p 261.).--For some account of this excellent
man, see chapter xxxi. of Mr. Anderdon's _Life of Bishop Ken_, where are
given some very interesting letters, that are printed from the MSS. in the
possession of Dr. Williams, Warden of New College, Oxford. Frampton appears
to have been at one time chaplain to the British Factory at Aleppo.
Mandeville, in the Dedication prefixed to his _Journey from Aleppo to
Jerusalem_, makes honourable mention of him, and attributes the highly
creditable character of the society to the influence of that incomparable
instructor. When the funeral procession of Christian, Countess of
Devonshire, halted at Leicester, on the way to Derby, a sermon was preached
on the occasion by Frampton, who was then chaplain to the Earl of Elgin,
the Countess's near relative. In sending these scraps, allow me to express
the hope that MR. EVANS has not laid aside his intention of favouring us
with a Life of Frampton.

[We cordially join in the wish expressed by our correspondent, that the
Vicar of Shoreditch will before long favour us with the publication of
the manuscript life of this amiable prelate, written, we believe, by
his chaplain. It appears to us doubtful whether the bishop ever
published any of his sermons, from what he states in a letter given in
the Appendix to _The Life of John Kettlewell_. "I have often," he says,
"been in the pulpit, in season and out of season, and also bold and
honest enough there, God be praised; but never in the _printing-house_
yet; and believe I never shall be." The longest printed account of this
deprived bishop is given in Rudder's _History and Antiquities of
Gloucester_; and no doubt many particulars respecting him and other
Nonjurors may be found in the Rawlinson MSS. in the Bodleian Library.]
_Parochial Libraries_ (Vol. vi., p. 432; Vol. vii. _passim_).--At Dunblane
the collection of books bequeathed by the amiable Leighton is still
preserved. At All Saints, Newcastle-on-Tyne, I once saw, among some old
books in the vestry, a small quarto volume of tracts, including Archbishop
Laud's speech in the Star Chamber, at the censure of Bastwick, Burton, and
Prynne. It had been presented by the Rev. E. Moise, M. A., many years
lecturer of that church.
