Buckingham House to St. James,' carried in chairs, attended by a few footmen and yeomen of the guards. Not much parade or attendance. Saw them a second time, with the court officers, pass through the gallery to the chapel royal. The King is a fine person, but not a good walker: in my eyes, has the appearance of majesty. The Queen seems to possess all that is amiable and agreeable, has a pleasant look, and an affectionate smile is always at the service of the gazing crowd; yet her delicate constitution seems overpowered with something more than her strength can well support. This may probably be accounted for from her present situation, being pregnant. To the disgrace of the court, the yeomen of the guards are the rudest set of people I have hitherto met with in this town.'

"After dinner took a walk to Kensington, the road crowded all the way with people going or returning. The gardens, at certain seasons, are open and free to every one out of livery, or who does not wear leather breeches.'

"Monday. Soon in the park again. Saw the King on horseback, taking his morning ride, an exercise he is very fond of, and never, or very seldom, omits when the weather is favourable. If it should rain, he takes this exercise under cover, in a place provided for that purpose. He rises usually at seven, breakfasts, sees his family, and mounts his horse precisely at nine, upon which he continues about a couple of hours, then returns, dresses, and is ready for the dispatch of business. His dress this morning was a plain suit of red with yellow buttons, a very large hat in which was a cockade, but no other ornament. His horse, a very bony, showy black one, a bob-tail, no way decorated; a couple of footmen, and one gentleman by way of companion, were all his retinue.' Called on Sir Joshua Reynolds, and feasted my eyes with a sight of his excellent paintingslikewise upon Mrs. Hogarth, widow of the late famous man; saw his excellent collection of prints, and purchased a few taken from the plates of that humourous artist.'"

P. 216. To the Fifth Volume of Atterbury's "Epistolary Correspondence," Mr. Nichols prefixed a "Brief Memoir of the Author," to which reference may be made as containing many minute particulars not noticed elsewhere. In compiling this memoir Mr. Nichols endeavoured to preserve the strictest impartiality as to the Bishop's supposed political sentiments. Since 1799, however, the public opinion has materially changed as to the Bishop's connection with the Court of St. Germain's, by the more recent publication of the "Stuart Papers," from Her Majesty's collection, edited by John Hulbert Glover, Esq. See an able review of that work in the Gent. Mag. for May, 1847, written by the Rev. John Mitford, in which the character of Bp. Atterbury, as a divine, a Latin writer, and a politician, are carefully analysed. See also Mr. Chalmers's excellent memoir of Bp. Atterbury.

P. 220, n. 1. 7. Mr. Nichols's prognostications have been amply fulfilled. Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., succeeded, on the death of Mr. Planta, to be the head librarian of the British Museum; from which establishment, after holding office in it for more than half a century, he retired at the beginning of 1856. He also filled the office of Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries from 1813 to 1853; and on his retirement was elected Director of the Society. His numerous works are well known, and duly appreciated. P. 224, n. 1. 17, r. "half a century."
