He was a Mr. Cecil, nephew and heir-presumptive of the Earl of Exeter. He was then aged 37, and had just divorced his wife. The wedding was celebrated before no village altar, but in the church of St. Mildred, in Bread Street, EC. The husband succeeded to the earldom and estates two years afterwards. The poet is more accurate in his later details; for the Countess did bear her husband three children, and died five years after her marriage. Three years later the Earl was made a marquis, and married a divorced Duchess of Hamilton; and he died in 1804." Now Miss Meteyard, who was a doctor's daughter living in Shrewsbury, has recorded many incidents of her early life in her story 'The Doctor's Little Daughter,' and on p. 413 of that book relates how she and her father one day 66 'set off for the distant parish church, some long while before the time for service, and opening a little side door in the narrow humble edifice, with a key he had brought......[he] entered with reverence. Bidding Alice stand by the mouldering rails of the altar, he went into a sort of little crypt or vestry, and, bringing out from thence a small square cushion covered with a faded green baize, laid it down upon 14.

He had first seen farmhouse door, and, admiring her looks of goodness and beauty and modesty, courted her from here married her, she in all love and trust taking that same day, and, with her parents' full consent, him for what he seemed, a plain and humble gentleman. Some few days after being married here, thought, to his humble home in Lincolnshire. But they travelled together across England, as she one evening, after several days' journey, the old post-chaise which bore them passed through magnificent park gates, up the noble avenue of the park itself, till, stopping and alighting before a noble portico lined with liveried servants, she, all wondering and trembling, was led by this poor painter through the gorgeous hall, rich in heraldry immortal Greece, till, in a room still more magand sweeping banners, and the rarest sculpture of nificent, he clasped her to his heart, and said, “I am the Earl of Burleigh, and you his wife," and then she swooned away, stricken by terror at her Weeping, weeping late and early, And he look'd at her and said, That her spirit might have rest." If any Shropshire antiquary could kindly Since I wrote the foregoing, there has appeared in the December number of Chambers's Journal an exhaustive account of this romance, by Mr. Arthur O. Cooke, entitled 'The Truth about the Cottage - Countess,' which confirms my opinion as to the validity of the most important item in Miss Meteyard's story, for, according to Mr. Cooke, the marriage took place at Bolas Magna, Shropshire, on 13 April, 1790, as the church registers testify. He, however, strips the romance of that which made it "so touching and sweet," for it appears the marriage was an illegal one-neither was the bridegroom at the time the Lord of Burleigh.

Hepworth Dixon's 'Her Majesty's AMBROSE ROOKWOOD.-In the new edition Tower' (Cassell & Co., 1901), at vol. i. p. 344, it is related how the haughty Catesby induced the wealthy young Suffolk squire Ambrose Rookwood, a great lover and breeder of horses, and a member of an ancient Catholic race not much inclined to adopt such desperate remedies for his wrongs, to join the Gunpowder Plot for the removal of James I. When the plotters were discovered Rookwood was the last to fly. Proud of his great stud, he placed relays of horses on the road from London to Dunchurch. He commenced his flight at 11 o'clock, and in two hours he rode thirty miles on a single horse, and made the whole distance of eighty-one miles in less than seven hours. But his flight was of no avail. He was captured, tried, drawn on a hurdle, hung and disembowelled in Palace Yard, Westminster. In connexion with the execution of Ambrose Rookwood, may it be recorded in 'N. & Q. that interesting discoveries have recently been made at the Tower of London of some inscriptions placed on the walls by persons confined there in past times? In the work of repairing a defective window-opening in the St. Martin's Tower, according to the Daily Telegraph, a piece of deal framing had to be removed. Behind this was found the name of Ambrose Rookwood. It was finely carved, and the surname was divided "Rookwood," indicating the nature of its derivation. It may be added that in 'Old and New London,' vol. iii. p. 564, there is an illustration showing very fully indeed how the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot were executed.

SIR THOMAS BODLEY.-The 'D.N.B.' states: "His first attempt to enter into public life seems to have been unsuccessfully made in 1584, when he was recommended by Sir Francis Cobham for election to parliament as member for Hythe." Mr. G. Wilks, in his ' Barons of the Cinque Ports,' p. 62, gives a letter in full, dated W. Cobham, recommending Thomas Bodyly 25 October, 1584, from Cobham Hall, signed in the following terms: "Wherein I would wishe that good consideration should be had of the man, who shalbe soe elected, for the partie whom I am willed to nominate, besydes the_comendacion which is deliyvred unto me of him, I am persuaded that he is such a one as maie and will be readye to pleasure you and your towne, and of that credite as may staunde you in steade."

But it is scarcely accurate of the late Dr. Cobham Brewer, in his 'Reader's Handbook,' to say "Lodona is an affluent of the Thames for some would not recognize in the word the river Loddon, which flows into the Thames at Wargrave, after passing near Binfield, where Pope wrote several of his early poems and part of Windsor Forest' itself.
