Savile's defence was drawn up with such skill that Charles, ever prone to confide in worse men than himself, sent him a sealed pardon, and Newcastle publicly apologized for having arrested him. Savile remained in Oxford, and resumed his place at the Council and his duties as Treasurer of the King's Household. At this time the noble Chapter House of Christ Church, sometime the Chapter House of St. Frideswide's Priory, served for the King's Council Chamber. Savile seems continually to have urged the necessity of making peace; and on May 25, 1644, he was created Earl of Sussex. On Jan. 11, 1644/5, he was once more imprisoned, this time at Oxford; and Digby, on the royal behalf, impeached him of high treason. But the House of Lords urging Savile's privilege as a peer, no further steps were taken; and, about the middle of March, he was released on condition that he removed to France. Whereupon he fled to London. and the Parliament. John Greaves (1602-52), mathematician and traveller (' D.N.B.,' xxiii. 38), Fellow of Merton, was Gresham Professor of Geometry in London, 1630, and succeeded Bainbridge as Savilian Professor of Astronomy, but was ejected by Parliament from his chair and fellowship in 1648. His younger brother, Edward Greaves, M.D., Fellow of All Souls and Linacre Reader of Physic, is said to have been created a baronet by Charles I. James Ussher (1581-1656), Archbishop of Armagh (D.N.B.,' lviii. 64), removed in 1642 with Parliamentary sanction to Oxford, occupying the house of John Prideaux, Rector of Exeter College for the last thirty years (who had just been made Bishop of Worcester by the King), and remained in the University until March 5, 1644-5, when he accompanied Prince Charles to Bristol. It was at Ussher's instance that Bainbridge wrote the treatise Canicularia,' published at Oxford by Greaves in 1648. 66 There was an apothecary at Oxford called Philip Alport, whom Anthony Wood It was not until over a century and a patronized when in need of a vomitt quarter after this time that the University and this person appears to have dwelt on could boast of a permanent house of the south side of High Street, between the Astronomy.

Edmund Halley buried, according to the St. Mary's Register, kept a 24-ft. telescope in his rooms, when he June 14, 1665. The Philip Alport was an undergraduate of Queen's College, "Serv. Doctris. Bambrig.," privilegiatus about 1676, and with it observed a sunspot. May 28, 1641, aged 34, if not identical, was probably a relation (v. Wood's City of Oxford,' 1899, i. 138 n., and iii. 247; Wood's on 'Life,' i. 220). Thomas Savile, first Viscount Savile of Castlebar, in the peerage of Ireland, second Baron Savile of Pontefract, and first Earl of Sussex, in the peerage of England (D.N.B.,' 1. 374), is that sinister figure whom Clarendon described as a man “of an ambitious and restless nature, of parts and wit enough, but in his disposition and inclination In 1769 Prof. Thomas Hornsby tried to observe the transit of Venus from his primitive premises on the Schools' Tower; and others used the tower of New College (which together with the Cloisters, &c., had been used by Charles I. as his magazine) and other prominent buildings for the same purpose. So difficult was the observation that Dr. Hornsby seized the opportunity to represent the inconvenience to the Trustees of the great benefactor, Dr. John Radcliffe, with the happy result that the Trustees built the new Observatory (begun in 1772), and completely fitted it out with the most perfect instruments which could then be procured (v. A History of the Oxford Museum,' 1909, by H. M. and K. D. Vernon, pp. 20-2). Thus at last the aspiration of the first Astronomy Professor, Dr. Bainbridge, was fulfilled, and the University obtained her first permanent house of Astronomy. A. R. BAYLEY. AN ENGLISH ARMY LIST OF 1740. NEXT in the list (p. 5) come two Troops of 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 2 Captains, 1 Guidon, 2 Lieutenants, and 165 N.C.O.s and men. The officers of the two Troops were : The two troops were disbanded in 1788, "and their lists of Colonels include some of the most noted soldiers of the day" (1). They are the only units in which there was an officer styled "Guidon." The word signified a standard, of the kind carried by cavalry regiments, and hence the officer who carried it; latterly it meant only a rank, evolved much in the same way as the "Ensign" of infantry regiments. Further information about any of these officers would be welcome. (1) The Extinct Regiments of the British Army,' A. E.

The word "Cornet," meaning a rank cornet," in the Army, is derived from the standard of a troop of cavalry. In early days the Captain of every troop of cavalry had his own cornet or standard, which was carried by the junior officer of the troop, who was hence called Cornet. The officers were : The King's own Regiment of Horse.

Roberti etiam horum Filii natu maximi hic primum a se institutis site of the grave a marble tablet is placed. It commemorates his parents, and also bears London. In 1880 a statue of Robert the following inscription relating to himRaikes was placed in the Villiers Street | self :— section of the Victoria Embankment Gardens, and unveiled by the Earl of Shaftesbury on July 3. It is the work of Thomas Brock, and cost 1,2001., contributed by the children and teachers of about 4,000 Sunday schools throughout the country. Raikes is represented "in the costume of his own day, standing erect, and teaching from a book which he holds in one hand, while with the other he emphasizes the lesson." On the granite pedestal is the following inscription:- This statue was erected from teachers and scholars (See 7 S. iv. 472, s.v. Byron.) The Mall, Notting Hill Gate.-In front of Essex Unitarian Church is a pedestal containing a representation of a schoolboy seated, and holding a Bible in his hand. The figure was sculptured by Hugh Stannus, and was removed to its present position in 1887. It formerly stood in front of the Unitarian Church in Essex Street, Strand, where it was unveiled by Henry Richard, M.P., on June 26, 1880. The pedestal contains appropriate texts of Scripture and the following inscription : felici opera studioque suo commondatis [sic] Obiit die Apr: 5to Bradford. Anno (Salutis 1811 SIR TITUS SALT. This statue was raised at a cost of 3,000l., the subscriptions ranging from ld. to 5l. It was originally erected in front of the Town Hall, but has since been removed to a site in Manningham Park. The sculptor was the late John Adams Acton, and it was unveiled by the Duke of Devonshire on Aug. 3, 1874. Sir Titus is represented with his right arm resting on the chair in which he is sitting, and in his left hand he holds a scroll displaying the plan of Saltaire. The canopy was designed by Messrs. Lockwood & Mawson in harmony with the character of the building near which it originally stood. "The base of the canopy is 17 ft. square, and upon it rests the pedestal of the statue, 5 ft. high.
