A change will be noticed by some of our readers in our present Number, consisting in the omission of Clerical Preferments and of Military and Naval Promotions. We have determined, after due consideration, that these long-continued items of information shall give way to other matters. It is to be remembered that we do not in that portion of our Magazine pretend to furnish news or intelligence, but rather to place upon record matters that may be useful for future historical reference. In the particulars in question a much ampler record is now periodically published than we can attempt to furnish. As the Clergy List appears annually, a search for any particular name or date may be more readily carried through a series of its volumes than through our Magazine: and it is the same with the Army and Navy, of which not merely Annual but Quarterly and Monthly lists are published. The room we gain will enable us to devote more space to the record of Marriages, of which our arrear has occasionally been almost overwhelming and also to continue other memoranda connected with personal and family history. Anxiously desiring to maintain our peculiar field of the Obituary in unimpaired completeness, it is our constant aim to obtain the amplest and most authentic particulars both for our longer memoirs and for the shorter entries of Deaths, and especially from original and unpublished sources. cannot find space for such long details of military and naval services as heretofore; but they have been already placed on record in the pages of Phillipart, Marshall, O'Byrne, and others. Above all, it is our wish to be the faithful biographer of those who have distinguished themselves in science, literature, and the arts, and we may refer to many interesting articles in our present Month's Obituary in proof of the sincerity of our efforts.

MR. URBAN, The Minor Correspondence of your Magazine for January last mentions an impression of an old Seal found near Boston. A description of that identical seal, together with other examples

of the same class, and an explanation of the object of them, will be found in the Archæological Journal, vol. ii. pp. 378, 379, 380. The explanation appears to establish very sufficiently that these seals were introduced in compliance with the statute of 12 Richard II. (1388), which was passed to prevent vagabondage, through the wandering of labourers and servants from the places to which they belonged. In this case the reading of P' S'VIS in the legend will be pro servis, i. e. for serfs. The account above alluded to is worth notice, as connected with the origin of a legal provision for the English poor.

Yours, &c. ARTHUR HUSSEY. The author of "Sketches of the Highlanders," a book mentioned in the same page of our January number, was Stuart, not Grant.

An Old Reader inquires for information respecting the family of Sir Richard Ashfield, who held, or resided at, Eastwood Park, near Thornbury, Gloucestershire, about the year 1640.

R. A. W. inquires for the locality of Goulder's Hill, the country residence of Mr. Dyson, a friend of the Poet Akenside.

The semi-dramatic compositions generally known as London Pageants have been introduced on several occasions to the notice of our readers: particularly in a bibliographical catalogue which we printed in 1824, and which was re-edited by Mr. John Gough Nichols, in 1831, 8vo. They have also occupied two of the volumes of the Percy Society, edited by Mr. Fairholt. Mr. C. F. Angell, of the Office of Ordnance, Pall Mall, has formed a series of transcripts of such as were prepared at the expense of the Company of Clothworkers, and is now anxious to obtain a loan of that for the year 1634, entitled "Triumph of Fame and Honour, at the inauguration of Sir Robert Parkhurst, Knt. Clothworker. Compiled by John Taylor the Water Poet." He has inquired in vain at the British Museum and Bodleian Library. A copy existed in the year 1773, when it was sold in the library of James West, esq. Pr. R.S.
