ly that J. Amos Comenius was the author of the original. (See Walch, tom. iii. p. 265.) [Footnote 1: _Journal des Savans_, MDCXCIV, p. 331.; _Niceronii Memoir.,_ tom. vii. p. 64.] T.J. _Mrs. Tempest_ (Vol. ii., p. 407.).--In reply to your correspondent requesting information respecting this lady, I have much pleasure in sending you the following particulars, which I leave obtained through the kindness of Colonel Tempest of Tong Hall, the present representative of the ancient family of Tempest of Tong. Henry Tempest, the oldest son of Sir John Tempest, Bart., of Tong Hall, by Henrietta his wife, daughter and heir of Sir Henry Cholmley of Newton Grange, married Alathea, daughter of Sir Henry Thompson of Marston, county of York, and had two daughters, Alathea and Henrietta; one of these ladies was celebrated as Pope's Daphne. Henry Tempest died very young, before his father Sir John; the next brother, George, succeeded to the title and Tong estates.

M.A. Tierney, F.R.S., F.S.A., in whose possession a copy of the Declaration is stated to be. D. _Scandal against Queen Elizabeth_ (Vol. ii., p. 393.).--Although many of your correspondents must be well able to reply to P.T.'s Query, I have seen no notice of it as yet. The note to Burton's _Diary_, in citing Osborn, ought to have begun with the word which precedes the words quoted.
