_Mrs. Tempest_ (Vol. ii., p. 407.).--This lady was one of the two daughters
of Henry Tempest, Esq., of Newton Grange, Yorkshire (son of Sir John
Tempest of Tong Hall, who was created a baronet in 1664), by his wife
Alathea, daughter of Sir Henry Thompson of Marston, co. York. She died
unmarried in 1703. As the Daphne of Pope's pastoral "Winter," inscribed to
her memory, she is celebrated in terms which scarcely bear out the remark
of your correspondent, that the poet "has no special allusion to her."

_Calendar of Sundays in Greek and Romish Churches._--In reply to M.'s
Query, I beg to inform him, that to find a calendar of _both_ the above
churches, he need seek no further than the _Almanach de Gotha_ for the year
1851. He will there find what he wants, on authority no doubt sufficient.

_The Conquest_ (Vol. ii., p. 440).--I do not agree with L. in thinking that
the modern notion, that this word means "a forcible method of acquisition,"
is an erroneous one; but have no doubt that, whatever its original
derivation may be, it was used in that sense. If William I. never pretended
"to annex the idea of victory to conquisition," it is certain that his son
William II. did: for we find a charter of his in the _Monasticon_ (ed.
1846), vol. vi. p. 992., confirming a grant of the church of St. Mary of
Andover to the abbey of St. Florence, at Salmur, in Anjou, in which there
is the following recital:
"Noscant qui sunt et qui futuri sunt, quod Willielmus
rex, qui _armis Anglicam terram sibi subjugavit_,
dedit." &c.
If this charter was granted by William I., under whom Dugdale has placed it
in his _Chronica Series_, p. 1., _nomine Baldric_, the argument is so much
the stronger; but I have endeavored to prove by internal evidence (_Judges
of England_, vol. i. p. 67.) that it is a charter of William II.

_Thruscross_ (Vol. ii., p. 441.).--In a sermon preached at the funeral of
Lady Margaret Mainard, at Little Easton, in Essex, June 30, 1682, by Bishop
Ken, he says:
"The silenced, and plundered, and persecuted clergy she thought worthy
of double honour, did vow a certain sum yearly out of her income, which
she laid aside, only to succour them. The congregations where she then
communicated, were those of the Reverend and pious Dr. Thruscross and
Dr. Mossom, both now in heaven, and that of the then Mr. Gunning, the
now most worthy Bishop of Ely, for whom she ever after had a peculiar
veneration."
"My last son Izaak, borne the 7th of September, 1651, at halfe an houre
after two o'clock in the afternoone, being Sunday, and he was baptized
that evening by Mr. Thruscross, in my house in Clerkenwell. Mr. Henry
Davison and my brother Beacham were his godfathers, and Mrs. Roe his
godmother."--_Izaak Walton's Entry in his Prayer Book._
Peckhard, in his _Life of Nicholas Ferrar_, p. 213., quotes Barwick's Life,
Oley, Thruscross, and Thorndike.

_Osnaburgh Bishopric_ (Vol. ii., pp. 358. 447.).--The succession to this
bishopric was regulated by the Treaty of Westphalia, in 1648. By virtue of
that treaty the see of Osnaburgh is alternately possessed by a Romish and a
Protestant prince; and when it comes to the turn of a Protestant, it is to
be given to a younger son of the house of Hanover. The _Almanach de Gotha_
will most probably supply the information who succeeded the late Duke of
York. Looking at the names of the titular bishops of Osnaburgh, it may be
inferred that the duties attached to the see are confined to its
temporalities.
J.T. HAMMACK.
{485} _Nicholas Ferrar_ (Vol. ii., pp. 119. 407. 444.).--The libellous
pamphlet, entitled _The Arminian Nunnery at Little Gidding_, is printed
entire in the Appendix to Hearne's Preface to Langtoft. One of the
Harmonies of the Life of Christ is in the British Museum, and another at
St. John's College, Oxford (Qy.) (See the list of MSS. once at Gidding,
Peckhard, p. 306.) N. Ferrar published and wrote the preface to Herbert's
_Temple_, 1633,--and translated Valdesso's _Divine Considerations_, Camb.
1646.
