I was at school, and another book, as Watts says. If the question is
biographical, I can say nothing.

_"Who was Temple Stanyan?"_ (no. 24. p. 382.) Temple Stanyan was the son
of Abraham Stanyan, Esq., a Member of the Kit Kat Club, M.P. for
Buckingham, Ambassador to the Porte, a Lord of the Admiralty, etc. Mr.
Temple Stanyan was himself also Minister at Constantinople, and at
several other courts; and afterwards Under-Secretary of State under both
Addison and the Duke of Newcastle. He published in 1714 an Account of
Switzerland; and his Grecian history in 2 vols. was, till the
publication of Mitford's, the best in our language. I believe that his
daughter married Adm. Sir Charles Hardy. He died in 1752.

_Auctorite de Dibil_ (no. 25. p. 205.).--Probably an error of
transcription; read _Auctorite de Bibil_.
