Chantrey was engaged at that time upon a colossal equestrian figure of Sir Thomas Picton, destined, I believe, for India. On that visit I was singularly impressed with the gracefulness and beauty of the statue of a female figure with three children; one was at her breast, and in the curled head of another at her feet was the mother's hand enfolded. On the pedestal of the statue was this inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Norah Bland." I learnt from Mr. Cunningham that this was the statue of Mrs. Jordan, and was executed for William IV., and that there was some difficulty respecting its place of reception. What is become of this noble work of art? The little boy amongst whose curls the mother's hand played, was the late Earl of Munster. JAMES CORNISH. Falmouth. 33. "_A Posie of other Men's Flowers._"--Can any of your readers refer me to the following passage?-- "I have cull'd me a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing, save the string that binds them, is mine own." D. Q. 34. _Sir Edmund Ployden or Plowden._--I am desirous of obtaining information respecting Sir Edmund Ployden or Plowden, who (according to a tract published at Middleburg in Holland, in 1648, by a writer signing himself "Beauchamp Plantagenet") received a grant of land from the crown of England, covering portions of the present states of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. Of this province, which was called New Albion, the grantee was "Lord Proprietor," "Earl Palatine," "Governor," and "Captain General." Your assistance I venture to ask, as this is a matter of historical interest here. A TRANSATLANTIC READER. Philadelphia, July, 1851. 35. _Pope's Translations or Imitations of Horace_ (Vol. i., p. 230.).--As you have, I hope, very largely increased the number of readers and contributors since I asked the question above referred to, and as it has as yet received no answer, I hope you will allow me to repeat it, in the hope that some of your new correspondents may be able to tell me what satirical "_Imitation of Horace_" can have been, so early as 1716, attributed to Pope? I would also, on the same grounds, beg leave to repeat another question, formerly proposed by P. C. S. S. and by myself (Vol. i, pp. 201. 246.): What is the precise meaning of the last couplet of these lines of Pope: "The hero William, and the martyr Charles, One knighted Blackmore and one pensioned Quarles, _Which made old Ben and surly Dennis swear, 'No Lord's anointed, but a Russian bear.'_" That Pope had a precise meaning cannot be doubted; but I have never heard a reasonable guess at what it might be. C. 36. _John Bodley._--Among the Parker MSS. in Corpus Library at Cambridge is a patent of Queen Elizabeth to John Bodeleigh to print the English Bible for seven years.
