an age of debility and dotage, bequeath, but in the full vigour of his understanding, and in the prime of life, gave a great part of his ample fortune for the foundation of a college, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, a society which hath long reflected honour upon its founder. He was almost the only great man among his contemporaries who maintained an inflexibility of character amidst the changes and compliances of the times. He is placed here as privycounsellor to Queen Mary, an office which he bore in the reign of Henry VIII. Ob. 29 Jan. 1559, Et. 50. It was by his interest that the magnificent and venerable Saxon church, at St. Albans's, was preserved amidst the general dissolution of abbeys. See a well-written account of his Life by the learned and ingenious Mr. Thomas Warton, a scholar and fellow of his foundation; the 2d edition of which was printed at London 1780. See Granger's Letters, p. 117.

MEN OF THE SWORD.

WILLIAM HERBERT, earl of Pembroke, general of the queen's forces, and governor of Calais.-This place was surprised and taken by the French, after it had been 200 years in the possession of the English. The loss of it is known to have hastened the queen's death. See the preceding reign, Class II.

I have been credibly informed, that a sister of Sir Thomas, who very nearly resembled him, sat for the face of this portrait.

SIR THOMAS WHITE; in the middle compartment of the "Oxford Almanack," 1733 and 1734.

Beside the above benefactions, Sir Thomas White left a fund for 1007. per annum, to be lent every year to four young tradesmen, for ten years. This loan was, according to his will, to be lent to the inhabitants of twenty-four towns, who were to receive it by rotation.*

CLASS IX.

MEN OF GENIUS AND LEARNING.

SIR THOMAS WYATT, the younger. A. McKenzie; 4to.

Sir Thomas, though a Roman Catholic, was one of the discontented at the proposed marriage of Queen Mary with Philip of Spain. Rashly, with the Duke of Suffolk and others, he proposed to raise Kent and the inland counties, in hopes of recovering the crown for the Lady Jane Gray; and, meeting at first with success, led his forces to Southwark; where he required, that the queen should put the Tower into his hands, and should deliver four counsellors as hostages; and, in order to ensure the liberty of the nation, she should immediately marry an Englishman. He had imprudently wasted so much time at Southwark, that the critical season was entirely lost. He was seized near Temple-bar by Sir Maurice Berkeley, and was condemned and executed April 11, 1554.

The old portrait of him on board, at the college, is an undoubted original.

Dr. Caius, or Key, physician to Edward VI. Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth, was one of the most extraordinary persons of his age for parts and learning. He was Greek lecturer at Padua, and reader of physic in that university. His medical works do honour to his genius and his skill in his profession; not to mention his philosophical and historical pieces, and his book of " British Dogs," in Latin. His "History of Cambridge" gave occasion to a controversy between the two universities, in relation to their antiquity; as Dr. Key has asserted in that work, that the university of Cambridge was founded by Cantaber, three hundred and ninety-four years before Christ. His epitaph is as follows:

Fui Caius.+

Vivit post Funera Virtus.

Ob. 29 Julii, Ann Dn1. 1573, Ætatis suæ 63.

POETS.

JOHN HEYWOOD; several wooden prints of him, in his "Parable of the Spider and Flie,” London, 1556;

4to.

"His true name was Key," says Mr. Baker. See Hearne's Appendix to his Preface to " Tho. Caii Vindiciæ Antiq. Acad. Oxon. contra Joan. Caium Cantabrigiens." p. 56.

+ Shakspeare, wanting a name for a pragmatical physician, consulted the Chronicle, and found a Dr. Caius; who has no more similitude to this Dr. Caius, than Sir John Falstaff has to the Sir J. F. of History.-LORD HAILES.

JOHN HEYWOOD; whole length. Copied from a wood-cut the same size.

John Heywood was an admired wit in his time, and in much favour with Queen Mary. He wrote several plays, a book of epigrams, &c. Dod, in his "Church History," says, that he is reputed the parent of our English epigrammatists, and an improver of the stage; and that his pleasantry and repartees were admired by Sir Thomas More. Ob. circ. 1565. I have somewhere seen John Heywood mentioned as jester to Henry VIII. I take this to be the same person.

Sir Anthony More, history and portrait painter to Philip II. was in England during the reign of Mary. Several of his pictures were in the collection of Charles I. and at Sir Philip Sydenham's, at Brympton in Somersetshire. He had one hundred ducats for his common portraits. Ob. 1575, Et. 56.

His head is also among the painters engraved by H. Hondius.

Van Cleeve was a painter of merit, who came into England, sanguine in his expectation of meeting with encouragement from Philip but as he and his works were slighted, the disappointment turned his brain.
