Robert, his widow was favoured with the fame privilege for the former manfion. (Biol. Top. Brit. N° XXIII. pp. 238, 239.) In the opinion of Sir John Cullum, it is difficult to account for the application's having been made to the Archbishop, the Bishop of the diocefe being, as he conceived, competent to have granted this indulgence. But he did not attend to its being fet forth in the first licence, that the Archbishop was then holding metropolitical vifitation, and was confequently vefted with full and exclufive power, as the Bishop of Norwich must have been inhibited. Not but that the Archbishop, as I apprehend, had at other times a concurrent right, by a paramount prerogative that had the fanction of the legislature. a For in a licence from Archbishop Parker to empover his fon John Parker to have Common Prayer faid, and the Communion and all other holy offices performed, within the oratory, or any other place in his houfe at Lambeth, called the Duke's Hou'e, or at Nunney Caftle in Somerfetthire, and in any house where he fhould dwell," it is averred, that the Archbishop was lawfully warranted by atbority of Parlament; by, as I fuppofe, the ftat. of 25 Henry Vill. c. 21. A claufe in this faculty provides, however, that it should not be in any degree to the prejudice of the rector or vicar of the parfh, and that Mr. Parker, with all his family, thould, on two Sundays or feftivals in every year, on days moil convenient to them, refort to the parish church.

He dwelt much on the talents of the great Duke of Marlborough as a foldier, and mentioned his having feen him at the Abbey-church in Bath, after his return from a campaign in Flanders; when the clergyman, in compliment to his Grace, preached upon the following text: "Í have fought the good fight, I have finished my courfe."-" This," repeated the old man, "was on his having won the Battle of Blenheim.”—“ You are fond of reading?"--“I am past it; but my fon, or grandchildren, after the bufines of the day is over, take it by turns to amufe me."-Upon enquiring into the general merits of this perton, I found that, till the age of four core, he had conftantly been in his business. He would not fuffer me to leave him, without afking after General Meadows, who, he tufted, would return home from the Eaft crowned with laurel, and his pockets niled wah rupees. When a perion at this age can hold converfe in to agreeably a manner, and perfectly recollect the incidents of their past life, it is a treat worthy a King to partake of.

The fhape of it is not cvlindrical, but fluted in the fides, like four pillars joined together, to correfpond with the angular parts of the lid.
