exc. Carolo Stuart Regis Britanniæ Legato, cæteris antea rite peractis
et quo decet honore in stirpem Regiam hic nuper effossæ reconditæ sunt Reliquiæ Jacobi II., qui in secundo civitatis gradu clarus triumphis in primo infelicior, post varios fortunæ casus in spem melioris vitæ et beatæ resurrectionis hic quievit in Domino, anno MDCCI, v. idus Septemb., MDCCCXXIV." At the foot of the monument were the words-- "Depouilles mortelles de Jacques 2. Roi d'Angleterre." A third monumental inscription to the memory of James II., in Latin, is to be seen in the chapel of the Scotch College in Paris. This memorial was erected in 1703, by James, Duke of Perth. An urn, containing the brains of the king, formerly stood on the top of it. A copy of this inscription is preserved in the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_, vol. vii. J. REYNELL WREFORD, D.D. Bristol, November 8. 1850. * * * * * JUDGE CRADOCK. My transplantation from Gloucester to Devonshire, and the consequent unapproachable state of my books, prevents my referring to authorities at the moment in support of what I have said about the arms of Judge Cradock _alias_ Newton: still I wish to notice the subject at once that I may not appear to shrink from the Query of S.A.Y. (Vol. ii., p. 371.) |
