2. There were _not_ "two James Grahame" cotemporaries. The author of _Wallace_ was the author of _The Sabbath_, as well as of _Poems and Tales, Scotch and English_, thin 8vo., Paisley, 1794: a copy of which, as well as of _Mary Stewart_ and _Wallace_, is in my tolerably extensive dramatic library. The latter is defective, ending at p. 88.; and was saved some years ago from a lot of the drama about to be consigned to the snuff-shop. Probably the same reasons which caused the suppression of a political romance from the same pen, and of which I have reason to believe the only existing copy is in my library, may have induced the non-completion of _Wallace_. Grahame, like many other young men just emerging at that particular time from the Scotch Universities, had imbibed opinions which in after years his good sense repudiated. He concealed his authorship of the Paisley poems (now very scarce), and the secret only transpired after his death. From the intimacy that subsisted between myself and his amiable nephew and namesake, whose untimely death, in 1817, at the age of twenty, I have never ceased to lament, I had the best means of learning many facts relative to the poet, who was, according to all accounts, one of the most estimable and truly pious men that ever lived. As to the crude opinions of early youth, can we forget that the truly admirable Southey was the author of _Wat Tyler_? Whether there were only six copies of _Wallace_ _completed_, I cannot say; but this much I can assert, that there were a great many printed, and that, as before mentioned, the greater part went to the snuff-shop; probably, because people were not fond of purchasing a drama wanting the title and end. In concluding, I may mention, that the "Mary Stewart" in the 12mo. edition of the _Poems of Grahame_, is quite altered from the one printed in 8vo. in 1801. J. M. THE PENN FAMILY. (Vol. iii., p. 409.) In reply to your correspondent A. N. C., William Penn, eldest son of the famous Quaker, married Mary Jones, by whom he had three children, Gulielma Maria, Springett, and William. The latter had a daughter by his first wife, Miss Fowler, who married a Gaskill, from which marriage the present Penn Gaskills of Rolfe's Hould, Buckinghamshire, are descended. While writing on this subject, allow me to send you two other "notes."
