( 194 ) MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. We are happy to announce that our report of the death of Commissioner Briggs (see vol. c. ii. p. 644) is not correct; an account of that excellent officer being in good health in February last, having since arrived. Mr. JAMES TOWNLEY says, "It is a singular fact, that, although SALOMON NEGRI, a learned native of Damascus, is stated by Bishop Marsh and Le Long, as well as by Freylinghausen, the editor of a Latin memoir of him, to have been the editor of the Arabic New Testament, published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge' early in the last century, there is not, at least so far as I know, any biographical account of him in our own language. shall therefore be obliged to any of your Correspondents who will give a detail of his proceedings in England; and as it appears, from the Memoria Negriana' of Freylinghausen, that he died in England in 1728 or 1729, it would afford additional gratification if it could be stated where he was buried, and whether any monument be erected to his memory." 6 to CLERICUS (of Maidstone) observes, “The satisfaction I have received on the perusal of two original letters from the pen of the celebrated Bp. Berkeley, in your last number, induces me to express a hope that your Correspondent A. P. who contributed them, may be inclined, if it be in his power, furnish your readers with a few more. It may also be no small gratification to A. P. and the other admirers of that eminently great and good prelate, to know that the original portrait of him, painted by John Smibert the artist, to whom one of the above letters is addressed, is taken care of in my possession, and that therein the benignity of the Bishop is strikingly pourtrayed in every feature." A CORRESPONDENT states, that "Wells Leigh near Wells (noticed in vol. c. ii. 614), may be the place from whence the ancient family of De Welesley, Welseley, Wellesley, or Wesley, for so it has been variously written, derives its name; but the Duke of Wellington is Baron Douro of Wellesley, not Wells Leigh, and the Marquess Wellesley sits as Baron Wellesley of Wellesley, not Wells Leigh, as Mr. Cassan supposes, erroneously. The origin of Wesley, the celebrated preacher, is unknown beyond a descent or two; but the Wesleys or Wellesleys of Iceland, have an authenticated pedigree as far back as 1172, when the first ancestor came to Ireland from Somersetshire as Standard-bearer to King Henry II. and had large grants of land in Meath and Kildare. William de Wellesley was summoned as a Baron of the Realm in 1339; the name was in after times written Wesley, an abbre viation of Wellesley, until the present Marquess Wellesley and his brothers, re-assumed the ancient name, just as the Seymours now style themselves St. Maurs," &c. D. remarks, "The materials from which Lord Orford compiled his interesting account of English Painters, Engravers, and other Artists, are still preserved in the library at Strawberry-hill, among a great many other papers likewise in the handwriting of, or collected by Mr. Vertue. They are probably of no use to the present noble owner, and it would be rendering an essential service to literature, could he be prevailed on to transfer them to the British Museum. The same remark would apply to that very interesting volume of old poetry and metrical romances, formerly belonging to Bishop Percy, most of the contents of which are specified in his elegant work the ' Reliques of Ancient Poetry." H. says, that the fact of the Duchess of Burgundy visiting England in 19, Edw. IV. (see p. 156) is thus noticed in Arnold's Chronicle, 4to. 1811, p. xxxvii: “This yere the Kingis suster Duches of Burgo, com into England, to see her brodyr." Mr. JOHN HENRY CLIVE would feel obliged if the gentlemen who furnished the curious particulars of the family of Copinger, at pp. 12, 110, 112, can give him any account of Susannah the daughter of Henry Copinger, who married perhaps about 1580 Sir George Clive, and afterwards John Poole, of Poole in Cheshire. She was a widow about 41 Eliz., as appears by an inquisition taken in that year. She called one of her sons Ambrose, a name quite new in the Clive family, but familiar in that of Copinger of Buxhall. Sir George's arms were : Argent, on a fess, between three wolves' (or griffin's) heads erased Sable, three mullets. Crest, a griffin. A CORRESPONDENT states, that there is in the possession of Mrs. Deerman of Barnet, a portrait of King Charles the First, painted on glass. The King is habited in a scarlet dress fitting close to the body, ornamented with jewelled clasps, the sleeves loose, with a white underdress, a falling band, and on his head a kind of embroidered white cap. The hands are slightly raised up. Above, from a dark cloud, is a hand holding a crown, from which issues a stream of scarlet or bloody rays, and forms a cloud of blood around, or rather behind the head. From the worm-eaten and decayed state of the frame, it has the appearance of being in its original setting. P. 93. Mr. Canning's ancestors were seated at Foxcote, in the male line, since the reign of Henry VI. and in the female line through the Le Marshalls, since the time of Edward I. There is a pedigree of the Cannings at Foxcote, drawn up in 1622, by Sir William Segar. George Canning of Garvagh, co. Londonderry, temp. Q. Eliz. ancestor of Lord Garvagh, and of the late Premier, was the eighth son (not fourth, as stated in the Peerages) of Richard Canning of Foxcote. |
