_Antiquitas Saeculi Juventus Mundi_ (Vol. ii., p. 218.; Vol. iii., p. 125.).--Permit me again to express my opinion, with due deference to the eminent authorities cited in your pages, that the comprehensive words of Lord Bacon, "Antiquitas saeculi juventus mundi," were not borrowed from any author, ancient or modern. But it would be a compliment which that great genius would have been the first to ridicule, were we to affirm that no anterior writer had adopted analogous language in expressing the benefits of "the philosophy of time." On the contrary, he would have called our attention to the expressions of the Egyptian priest addressed to Solon, (see a few pages beyond the one referred to in his _Advancement of Learning_): "Ye Grecians are ever children, ye have no knowledge of antiquity nor antiquity of knowledge." The words of Bacon to me appear to be a condensation of the well-known dialogue in Plato's _Timaeus_, above quoted, as will, I hope, appear in the following paraphrase: "Apud vos propter inundationes ineunte modo saeculo nihil scientiarum est augmentationis. Quoad nos _juventus mundi_ ac terrae Aegyptiacae, qua nulla hominum exitia fuerunt, progrediente tempore, _antiquitas_ fit _saeculi_, et antiquissimarum rerum apud nos momumenta servantur." T. J. _Lady Bingham_ (Vol. iii., p. 61.).--Lady Bingham, whose daughter, afterwards Lady Crewe, was unsuccessfully courted by Sir Symonds D'Ewes (for which see his autobiography), was Sarah, the daughter of John Heigham, Esq., of Gifford's Hall in Urekham Brook, Suffolk, of the same family with Sir Clement Heigham, Knt., of Barrow, Suffolk, Speaker of the House of Commons. She was married by banns at St. Olave's, Hart Street, Jan. 11, 1588, to Sir Richard Bingham, Knt., of co. Dorset. She married, secondly, Edward Waldegrave, Esq., of Lawford, Essex, to whom she was second wife, and by him had Jemima, afterwards Lady Crewe. Edward Waldegrave, married to his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Bartholomew Averell, of Southminster, Essex, had by her an only daughter, Anne, who married Drew, afterwards Sir Drew Drury, Bart., of Riddlesworth, Norfolk. He, Edward Waldegrave, was descended from a younger branch of the family of Waldegrave, of Smallbridge, in the parish of Bures, Suffolk, from whence descends the present Earl Waldegrave. Lady Bingham lies buried in the chancel of Lawford church, where a stone in the floor states her age to have been sixty-nine, and that she was buried Sept. 9. 1634. There is also another stone in the floor for Edward Waldegrave, Esq., who married Dame Sarah Bingham, by whom he had one daughter, Jemima, who was married to John Stearne (a mistake evidently for Stene, the seat of James Lord Crewe). Edward Waldegrave was buried Feb. 13, 1621, aged about sixty-eight. The large monument in Lawford church is for the father of this Edward Waldegrave, who died in 1584. D. A. Y.
