that have
impeded the further Progress of Christianity." I should be very glad indeed
to know whether these Sermons have appeared in print; and if so, when and
where published? I have not been able to procure a copy.

With regard to the Donnelan Lectureship, I may add, that a legacy of 1243l.
was bequeathed to the College of Dublin by Mrs. Anne Donnelan, of the
parish of St. George, Hanover Square, in the county of Middlesex, spinster,
"for the encouragement of religion, learning, and good manners." The
particular mode of application was entrusted to the Provost and Senior
Fellows; and accordingly, amongst other resolutions of the Board, passed
Feb. 22, 1794, are to be found the following: "That a Divinity Lecture, to
which shall be annexed a salary arising from the interest of 1200l., shall
be established for ever, to be called Donnelan's Lecture;" and "That one
moiety of the interest of the said 1200l. shall be paid to the Lecturer as
soon as he shall have delivered the whole number [six] of the lectures; and
the other moiety as soon as he shall have _published_ four of the said
Lectures."

_Members of Parliament._--Pennant, in _The Journey from Chester to London_,
p. 94., says:

"The ancient owners of Rudgley were of the same name with the town:
some of the family had the honour of being sheriffs of the county in
the reign of Edward III. _Another was knight of the shire in the same
period._"

Can any reader of "N. & Q." verify the _last portion_ of Pennant's
statement?

_William Williams of Geneva._--In _Livre des Anglois, a Geneve_, with a few
biographical notes by J. S. Burn, Esq., pages 5, 6. 12, 13., mention is
made of Guillaume--Will[=m] Will[=m]s, and Jane his wife,--Will[=m]
Will[=m]s, a senior of the church there in 1555, 1556, 1557, 1558; and some
of the years he was a godfather. I shall be glad to have some further
account of such William Williams, or references to where to find such?
