ory of the authoress of that beautiful
poem _Psyche_, Mrs. Mary Tighe, with a statue of her, said to be by
Flaxman, which statement, as to its being from the chisel of that
celebrated sculptor, I have seen contradicted. She was the daughter of the
Rev. W. Blackford, and married Mr. Henry Tighe of Woodstock, Ireland, in
1793. The inscription, which, I believe, is in existence, was not added to
the monument in 1845. Can any of your correspondents favour me with a copy
of it? and was the statue by Flaxman? Is there any authentic memoir of this
delightful poetess? When did her husband Mr. Tighe die? He is said to have
survived his lady, who died in 1810, but a short time; and that he was the
author of a _History of the County of Kilkenny_. I believe it was on
visiting the churchyard of Inistioge that Mrs. Hemans wrote "The Grave of a
Poetess." She is said to have been very beautiful. Is there any other
engraved portrait of her in existence beside the one annexed to the several
editions of her poems? Any particulars relating to this lady or her husband
will be esteemed by

_Sir Thomas de Longueville._--In the year 1753, a Sir Thomas de
Longueville, baronet, was a lieutenant in his Majesty's fleet, and his
commission bore date 3rd June, 1719. I should be glad if any of your
correspondents could inform me if he was a descendant of the De
Longueville, the second _Fides Achates_ of Scotland's "ill-requited chief."
The real Sir Thomas de Longueville reposes in the churchyard of Bourtie, in
the county of Aberdeen. Bourtie is a parish fraught with historic
recollections. On the hill of Barra, within a mile of the parish church,
Bruce at once and for ever put a period to the sway and power of the
Cuming. I should be glad to learn if any of the descendants of the
_Lieutenant_ Longueville still survive, and if he was any descendant of the
favorite "De Longueville" of the olden time.
