"1726. April 28. Temple Stanyan, Esq., one of the Clerks of His
Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council, married to Mrs.
Pauncefort."--Ibid.
There is a monument in one of the churches at Southampton,--
"To the Memory of Catharine, Relict of Admiral Sir Charles
Hardy, and only daughter of Temple Staynian, Esq., of Rawlins in
co. Oxon. She died Feb. 19. 1801, aged 75 years. This monument
was erected by her only surviving son, Temple Hardy, Captain in
His Majesty's Navy."
Edward Pauncefort, Esq., was one of the executors of Sir Charles Hardy's
will, proved in Doctors' Commons, 10th June, 1780.

_Temple Stanyan_ wrote a History of Greece, 1751, which was common when
I was at school, and another book, as Watts says. If the question is
biographical, I can say nothing.

_Temple Stanyan_ (No. 24. p. 382.).--He also published an _Account of
Switzerland_, 8vo. London, 1714.

_"Who was Temple Stanyan?"_ (no. 24. p. 382.) Temple Stanyan was the son
of Abraham Stanyan, Esq., a Member of the Kit Kat Club, M.P. for
Buckingham, Ambassador to the Porte, a Lord of the Admiralty, etc. Mr.
Temple Stanyan was himself also Minister at Constantinople, and at
several other courts; and afterwards Under-Secretary of State under both
Addison and the Duke of Newcastle. He published in 1714 an Account of
Switzerland; and his Grecian history in 2 vols. was, till the
publication of Mitford's, the best in our language. I believe that his
daughter married Adm. Sir Charles Hardy. He died in 1752.
C.
_Auctorite de Dibil_ (no. 25. p. 205.).--Probably an error of
transcription; read _Auctorite de Bibil_.
J.M.B.
_The Bristol Riots_ (No. 22. p. 352.).--"J.B.M." is informed, that the
volume to which he alludes is generally considered by Bristolians as the
most authentic and fullest narrative that was published of those
disgraceful scenes.
J.M.G.
Worcester.
_Religious Tract by F.H._ (No. 25. p. 400.)--The author of the religious
tract which has fallen into the hands of "J.C." is no doubt one of the
early Quakers, and probably Francis Howgill. Howgill was originally a
clergyman of the Church of England, but afterwards became a Baptist, and
in the year 1652 joined the early Quakers, upon hearing the preaching of
George Fox. His works were published in folio, in 1676, by Ellis Hookes.

_Complutensian MSS._--"E.M.B." (No. 25. p. 402.) will find full answers
to his Queries, and more interesting information on the same subject, in
a note in vol iv. p. 235. of Don Pedro Saban's Spanish translation of
Prescott's _Ferdinand and Isabella_. Madrid, 1846.
I am told by an American gentleman, who has seen the MSS. within a month
in the library of the University of Madrid, wither they were removed
from Alcala in 1837, that the Chaldaic and Hebrew manuscripts are all
originals, and on parchment. The only MSS. of Zamora among them are 3
vols. in Latin, translated from the Hebrew.
