At the end of the note on Sir John VANBRUGHн, add, See a curious entertaining account of Sir John VAN BRUGH, in WALPOLE'S "Anecdotes of Painting in England." Vol. III. p. 286, and feqq. This pleafing writer gives a very humorous account of Sir John's buildings. "He "wants all the merit of his wrirings to protect him from "the cenfure due to his defigns. What POPE faid of his "comedies, is much more applicable to his buildings;

"How Van wants grace!

"Grace! he wanted eyes, he wanted all ideas of proportion, 66 convenience, and propriety. He undertook vast designs, "and compofed heaps of littleness. The style of no age, no

country, appears in his works; he broke through all rule, "and compenfated for it by no imagination. He feems to have "hollowed quarries rather than to have built houses ; and "fhould his edifices, as they feem likely to do, out-lait all "record, what architecture will posterity think was that of "their ancestors? The laughers, his contemporaries, faid, "that having been confined in the Bastile, he had drawn his "notion

"notion of building from that fortified dungeon, &c. &c." The ingenious, lively writer concludes his account of Sir John, with Dr. Evans's epitaph on him, in his character of architect.

Add to the note on the Tragedy of the Earl of Effex. There are three French plays formed on this ftory. I. By M. De la Calprenede, 1632. II. By Claude Boyer, 1672. III. By Thomas Corneille, 1678.

The younger Corneille was charged with falfifying the ftory of Effex, by omitting the incident of the ring; but he maintained that it was an invention of Calprenede, and unfupported by the teftimony of any hiftorian. O. Corneille was mistaken in this, for the circumftance of the ring is recorded by Francis Osborne, Efq. a writer of tolerable credit. See his "Memorials of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, N° 23." It is now looked upon as good as authenticated. See WALPOLE'S Cat. of Noble Authors, Vol. I. p. 158; compared with BIOGR. BRIT. p. 1675. P.

To the note on, "The downfall of May-fair," add, the following extract, from a MS. letter of Mr. Brian Fairfax, junior, dated 1701. "I wish you had been at May-fair, where the rope-dancing would have recompenfed your labour. All the nobility in town were there, and I am fure even you, at your years, must have had your youthful wishes, to have beheld the beauty, fhape, and activity of Lady Mary when the danced. Pray ask my Lord F-x after her, who, though not the only lord by twenty, was every night an admirer of her, while the fair lafted. There was the city of Amfterdam, well worth your feeing; every street, every individual houfe was carved in wood, in exact proportion one to another; the Stadt-boufe was as big as your hand; the whole, though an irregular figure, yet, that you may guefs, about ten yards diameter. Here was a boy to be feen, that within one of his eyes had Deus meus in capital letters, as Gulielmus is on half a crown, round the other, he had in Hebrew; "..but this you must take as I did, upon truft. I am now drinking your health at Locket's, therefore do me juftice in Yorkshire." Sign. B. F.

By authority, [The royal arms, and W. R. at top.]" In May-fair, at the arms of Amfterdam, will be fhown, for the fatisfaction of all perfons of quality and others, a most curious and exact model of that famous city, being three feet long, and 26 feet broad, with all the churches, chapels, Stadt-houfe, noble buildings, ftreets, rivers, canals, walks, avenues, &c. most exactly built to admira tion. In fhort the situation and representation of the whole city, is performed with fuch unparralleled art and ingenuity as gave wonderful fatisfaction to the States-General of the United Provinces, and all others who have ever seen it. This great piece of work was 12 years in finishing, and coft a vast sum of money. The like never seen in England.” Harl. Cat. 5931, in folio. Br. Museum.

Fairfax's letter is dated from Locket's, a famous ordinary, at or near Charing-crofs, often mentioned in the plays of Cibber, Vanbrugh, &c. where the fcene fometimes is laid. It was much frequented by Sir George EtherEtherege, as appears from the following anecdotes, picked up at the British Museum. Sir G. Etherege, and his company, "provoked by fomething amifs in the entertainment, or attendance, got into a violent pation, and abused the waiters. This brought in Mrs. Locket; we are fo provoked, faid Sir George, that even I, could find in my heart to pull the nofe-gay out of your bofom, and and throw the flowers in your face." This turned all their anger into jeft.
