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.

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.)
