_Lovell, Sculptor._--What is known of this artist? That he was in advance
of the age he flourished in is evinced by his beautifully executed
engravings in _Love's Sacrifice_ (fol. Lond. 1652), which for delicacy of
work are far beyond anything of the period.

[Is the name Lovell, or Loisell? for we find that Strutt, in his
_Dictionary of Engravers_, vol. ii. p. 101., speaks of "P. Loisell
having affixed some slight etchings, something in the style of Gaywood
(if I mistake not), to Benlowe's _Theophilia_, _or Love's Sacrifice_."]
_St. Werenfrid and Butler's_ "_Lives of the Saints._"--One of your
correspondents will perhaps explain the cause of an omission in Butler's
_Lives of the Saints_. The life of St. Werenfrid, whose anniversary is the
14th of August, is abstracted, vol. iii. p. 492. His name occurs in the
table of contents: and pages 493 and 494, where the life should have
appeared, are wanting; still page 495 follows 492 correctly in type, so
that the former must have been reprinted _after_ the castration of the
leaf. Was the saint deemed unworthy of the place which had been allotted to
him?

[In the best edition of Butler's _Lives_ (12 vols., 1812-13), the life
of St. Werenfrid is given on Nov. 7. He is honored in Holland on the
14th of August; and his life appears in _Britannia Sancta_ on that day,
but in the Bollandists on the 28th of August.]

SIR W. HANKFORD-GASCOIGNE'S TOMB.
(Vol. viii., p. 278.)
On reading MR. SANSOM'S letter, it occurred to me that I had seen a
different account of the master being shot by his park-keeper; and on
search I found the following in 1 Hale's _P. C._ p. 40., which I send, as
it may tend to clear up the question:
"In the case of Sir William Hawksworth, related by Baker in his
_Chronicle of the Time of Edward IV._, p. 223. (_sub anno_ 1471), he
being weary of his life, and willing to be rid of it by another's hand,
blamed his parker for suffering his deer to be destroyed; and commanded
him that he should shoot the next man that he met in his park that
would not stand or speak. The knight himself came in the night into the
park, and being met by the keeper, refused to stand or speak. The
keeper shot and killed him, not knowing him to be his master. This
seems to be no fel
