THOMAS TISDALE; in the "" Oxford Almanack,"

1744.

Thomas Tisdale, of Glympton, esq. was, with Richard Wightwick, or Whitwick, co-founder of Pembroke College, in Oxford. Four of Tisdale's fellows are to be of his kindred, and the rest are to be elected from Abingdon school.

Alderman LEATE; a head in an oval. About the oval,

"Let Arms and Arts thy prayses speake,

Below,

Who wast their patron, worthy Leate."

"London may boast thy prayse, and magnifie
Thy name, whose care her ruins did repair;
And in Exchange of fowle deformity

Hath deckt and graced her with beauties rare,
The fame whereof resoundeth farr and neare;
Then honour him, who thus hath honour'd thee,
And love his Name in all posteritie.”

J. Payne sc.

Alderman Leate, a man of great ingenuity and public spirit, was well known in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. for the surveys which he took of different parts of the city of London, and the many useful and ornamental alterations which he projected in the streets and buildings. Some of them were, to the projector's honour, carried into execution. Stowe mentions a plan of Moorfields, as it was intended to be laid out by this person. It was to have been inserted in his "Survey of London."

JOHN TREHEARNE, gentleman porter to King James I. an etching. (Fisher.)

JOHN TREHEARNE; in Caulfield's "Remarkable Persons," mezz.

Litle more seems to be known of him than the following singular epitaph:

Had kings the power to lend their subjects breath,
Trehearne, thou should'st not be cast down by death;
Thy royal master still would keep thee then;
But length of days are beyond reach of men :

Nor wealth, nor strength, nor great men's love, can ease
The wound death's arrows make; for thou hadst these :
In thy king's court, good place to thee is given,
Whence thou shalt go to the King's court in heaven.

SIR ROBERT NAUNTON. Pass sc. rare.

SIR ROBERT NAUNTON; from an original picture, in the possession of - Read, esq. R. Cooper sc.

Sir Robert Naunton was born in Suffolk, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge; whence he removed to a fellowship at Trinity Hall. After having been employed on diplomatic concerns in Scotland and France, he returned to the university, and in 1601 was elected public orator; in which capacity he attracted the notice of James I. who made him master of the requests, surveyor of the court of wards, and secretary of state. His last preferment was that of master of the court of wards, which office he resigned in 1633, and died soon afterward. His "Fragmenta Regalia" contain many curious particulars of the court of Queen Elizabeth.

SIR HENRY COMPTON, K. B. Thane exc.

Sir Henry Compton, of Bramble-Teigh, in the county of Sussex, son by a second marriage of Henry 1st, baron Compton, was made knight of the Bath at the coronation of King James I. He married Lady Cecilie, daughter of Robert Sackville, earl of Dorset; by whom he had issue three sons and three daughters. He was several times returned in parliament for the borough of East Grinsted; but appears to have spent the greatest part of his time in the pleasures of a country life.

GEORGE HUMBLE; mezz. 4to. from his Monumental Effigy.

George Humble, merchant and alderman of the city of London, married Margaret, daughter to John Pierson, of Nathing, in the

county of Essex: he also married a second wife, Isabel, daughter of Robert Kitchinman, of Hemsley, in the county of York, a widow. Ob. 1616. The daughter Elizabeth, by his first wife, was buried the same day with her father. His son, Peter Humble, erected a monument to his memory in the church of St. Mary Overies, with the following inscription:

Like to the damask rose you see,
Or like the blossom on the tree;
Or like the dainty flowers of May,
Or like the morning of the day;
Or like the sun or like the shade,

Or like the gourd which Jonah had, &c. &c.

See Pennant's" London," p. 42. 4th edition.

Robert Cromwell, esq. was the second son of Sir Henry Cromwell, knight, of a respectable, though not very ancient, family in the county of Huntingdon; where he inherited the several possessions formerly belonging to a monastery of Augustins, and amounting, with the great tithes of Hereford, to about three hundred pounds a year; equal at least to about three thousand of the present day. The 35th of Elizabeth, he was member for the borough of Huntingdon. He is said by Heath to have conducted a large brewery. He married Elizabeth Steward, daughter of William Steward, esq. of the city of Ely; by whom he had three sons (two died in their infancy) and six daughters. He died 1617.
