who accompanied him to the gal-
lows, and gave him some advice,
that he did not value dying of a
rush, and hop'd and believ'd God
would deale with him like a gentle-
man. Never man went so uncon-
cern'd for his sad fate." Yea,
surely, many! "I think that very
few have sighed when fate at last
has found them, Though bitter foes
were by their side, and barren moss
around them :" see p. 763.)

let us at once declare that our ob-
jection is to the attribution of these

not to the assertion of their being
modern. The subject of The Scottish

ulent, some day we hope to take up.

the Queen of James II. was in-
capable of bearing a live child.

lier de Saint George, but even more
conclusively by her having children
afterwards.

rective to the short and imperfect
account on p. 235, which was earlier
written. Compare Macaulay's His-
tory (chapter xxii. p. 189 of the
1864 edition), for a graphic account
of Alsatia, and of the very riot in
1691, for which Winter suffered in
May 1093.]

"Iter Boreale" and "The Benefice"

In State
Poems, iv. 379, are his lines on
Bow Church: in ii. 166 is a poem
of "Dr. Wild's Ghost, on his
Majesty's Declaration for Liberty
of Conscience," 1686. A group of
four or more poems, supposed to be
interchanged between the Rev. Na-
than Wanley (author of "Wonders
of the Little World,") and Dr.
Wilde, are in MS Wanley, who
died in 1680, begins by inciting
him to write poetry. Wilde died
of apoplexy, 1679.]
Wilbred, Sir, alias Wilfred, or Wil-
frid, 992, 993, 1023. (This cannot
be, as some learned pundits are
willing to suppose, the same as Sir
Wilfred Lawson of Isell, in Cum-
berland, whom James II. created a
baronet, on March 31st, 1688;
unless the faintly discernible date
of "77" be incorrect, or not attri-
butable to 1677. It is a question for
the family historians, who delight
in what St. Paul stigmatizes as
"endless genealogies." He classes
them with foolish questions and
contentions," to be avoided both by
Timothy and Titus, and by us other
meek ecclesiastics. The poem itself
is on p. 1023.)

ing troops in England for its sup-

of Schomberg, 349; fights at the
Boyne, his dislike of Walker's in-
trusiveness, and pardonable indif-
ference at the man's death, 972;
his preference of the Dutch to the
English, 178, 377; his courage and
perseverance under military reverses,
178; his anger and disgust at
not being instantly supported, 361;
holds very limited views of tolera-
tion (much narrower than John
Locke, and even he would not have
extended it to the Catholics), 728;
his character, and ambitious aims
of being the unrivalled Dictator of
a Protestant League in Europe,
317, 377, 378; the remembrance,
not unmingled with remorse (al-
though she had received as much
consideration as her nature de-
served), of his wife Mary, 378; his
funeral, 316. See Statue.

Winchelsea, in Sussex, 850.
Winchelsea (Anne Finch), Countess
of, a daughter of Sir William
Kingsmill, of Sidmonton, Hants,
she died August 5, 1720. It is of
her whom Gay writes as
"still
meditating song," in his poetical
address to Pope, "Welcome from
Greece," on completing Homer, in
1720. [Compare Finch, in this 2nd
Index, to supplement imperfect
note, crowded for space, on p. 619,
which might seem to commingle
her with another and later Anne
Finch, of the same Winchelsea and
Eastwell family, alive in 1730.]
