We gladly avail ourselves of the suggestion, and shall be
pleased to record in our columns any facts of the nature referred to by
Mr. Hunt.
_Steele's Burial-place._--Sir Richard Steele died in the house now the
"Ivy Bush" Inn, at Carmarthen, on the 1st of September, 1729.
Where was he buried?
Is there a monument or inscription to his memory in any church in or
near Carmarthen?
LLEWELLYN.
_Socinian Boast._--In an allocution recently held by Dr. Pusey, to the
London Church Union, in St. Martin's Hall, reported in _The Times_ of
Oct. 17, the following passage occurs:
"The Socinian boast might be a warning to us against such
declarations. The Socinian pictured Calvin as carrying on the
protest against Rome more vigorously than Luther, himself than
Calvin:
"Tota jacet Babylon; destruxit tecta Lutherus,
Calvinus muros, sed fundamenta Socinus."
Query, By what Socinian writer are these two hexameter verses used?
L.
_Descent of Edward IV._--Professor Millar, in his _Historical View of
the English Government_ (ii. 174.), in discussing the claim of Edward
IV. to the English throne, speaks of "a popular though probably a
groundless tradition, that by his mother he was descended from Henry
III. by an elder brother of Edward I., who, on account of his personal
deformity, had been excluded from the succession to the crown." Where
may I find this tradition? or where meet with any information on the
subject?
