_Thomas Crawford_ (Vol. v., p. 344.).--In the seventeenth century there
were four professors of philosophy in every university in Scotland.
Thomas Crawford was one of the professors in the University of Edinburgh
from 1640 to 1662.
Thomas Crawford, educated at St. Leonard's College, St. Andrew's,
graduated A.M. 1621. Succeeded Mr. Samuel Rutherford as Professor of
Humanity in the University of Edinburgh, 1625. Appointed Rector of the
High School of Edinburgh in 1630. Elected Professor of Philosophy (or
Regent) in the University of Edinburgh, 1640, and continued in that
office till his death, in 1662.
He was the author of _A Short History of the University of Edinburgh,
from 1582 to 1646_, first printed in 1808; and of _Notes and
Observations on G. Buchanan's History of Scotland_: Edinb. 1708, 8vo.
pp. 187.
Both these posthumous publications are very meagre.

_Longevity_ (Vol. v., pp. 296. 401.).--In the church of Abbey Dore,
Herefordshire, is the following inscription on a slab in the floor:--
"In memory of Elizabeth, ye Daughter of Thomas Lewis, who departed
this life the 31st day of May, 1715, aged 141 years."
I was assured that the age of the deceased, as here stated, is confirmed
by the parish register.

_Theological Tract--The Huntyng of the Romish Fox_ (Vol. iii., p.
61.).--Perhaps the following tract is one of those about which S. G.
inquires:
"The Huntyng and Fyndyng out of the Romish Fox: whiche more than
seven yeares hath bene hyd among the Byshoppes of England, after
that the Kynges Hyghnes Henry VIII. had commanded hym to be dryven
out of hys Realme. Written by Wyllyam Turner, Doctour of Physicke,
and formerly Fellow of Pembroke College in Cambridge. Basyl,
1543."
This tract has just been reprinted, with some curtailments and
amendments, and with a short memoir of the author prefixed, by my
friend, Robert Potts, Esq., M.A. Trin. Coll., Cam.; and was published by
J. W. Parker, London. The copy from which this reprint has been made is
in the library of Trinity College.
