CHILDREN'S BOOKS: "CURIOSITIES OF THE TOWER OF LONDON." "WESTMINSTER ABBEY."

I have before me four curious little volumes, printed in 1741 and 1742, for the use of children, which, I presume, are scarce enough to make it worth while placing their titles and a few other particulars on record in "N. & Q." In my opinion they are a much nicer kind of books for the use of little ones than the books of silly nonsense and gaudy pictures which are now in vogue. They are all of the same size, viz. about two inches and a half in height, by two in breadth. The first is entitled:

"Curiosities In the Tower of London. Vol. I. Printed for Tho. Boreman, Bookseller, near the two giants in Guildhall, London. 1741. [Price 4d.]," pp. xxiv. 124, and a leaf of advertisements.

The frontispiece is a little woodcut representing the White Tower, and there are several others in the volume of the beasts and birds in the Tower. After the title come some verses, "To the Author of the Curiosities in the Tower of London," which I think are worth reprinting:

"Too rigid Precepts often fail,
Where short amusing Tales prevail.
That Author, doubtless aims aright,
Who joins Instruction with delight.

Tom Thumb shall now be thrown away,
And Jack who did the Giants slay;
Such ill concerted artless lies,
Our British Youth shall now despise :
In thy Gigantick Works they'll find
Something to please, and form the Mind.

"Thy happy Talent, Friend, pursue;
In thy own way search London thro':
Conduct thy Lilliputians round,
Where any curious things are found.
What treasures in the Tow'r are laid,
Are HERE-as in a glass, display'd.
To Gresham College next repair,
And shew the Works of Nature there.
Or, on the Abbey cast thy Eve,
Where British Bards and Heroes lie
Obscured in everlasting night,
Who, living, were the World's delight.
Thence may thy LITTLE READERS learn,
That Grandeur's vain, of no concern;
Since Death, with his impartial sting,
Wounds both the beggar and the King.

"Go on-May all thy Volumes please!
Be fill'd with Lectures such as these!
Meet with Reception from all Hands,
And live as long as Guild-hall stands!

" I am

"thy affectionate Friend,
"and Well-Wisher,
"Α. Ζ."

Then follows a long list of the little subscribers, which would genealogically be very interesting to reprint. I extract a few:

"Miss Leny Brereton, 5 sets.

Master Tommy Bradbury of Hackney.
Miss Betsy Child.

Miss Anna Maria Chauncy.
Miss Jenny Du Cane.
Master Tommy Quin.
Miss Lucretia Wells.
Master Dicky Watts."

Book 1. chap. i. tells about building of the Tower; chaps. ii. iii. and iv. of the lions, and other wild beasts, in the Tower:

"You first see a fine Maiden Lioness, which was a present from the Consul of Algiers: she is about fourteen years old. Her name is Jenny."

In the history of the lions we read that

"The Lion often sleeps and snores with his eyes open, and likewise with them shut. King James the first, being minded to make trial of the nature and courage of the Lion, and some other wild beasts, went to the Tower, attended by several of the Nobility, where he ordered a Lion and Lioness to be turned out of their dens; and a Cock to be cast to them, which they presently killed, and sucked its blood. Next a Lamb was ordered to be put to them, which the Lions out of their generosity never offered to touch, altho' it was so bold as to go close to them."

Then follow more astonishing stories of the lions and their performances before King James, the queen, and prince, very wonderful, but too long for insertion here.

Book 11. chap. i., Introduction, gives an account of the fees to be paid. Chap. ii. Of the invin

"Just Publish'd, Price fourpence. The History of the two famous Giants and other Curiosities in Guild

hall, London.' Printed for Thos. Boreman, Bookseller, near the two Giants in Guildhall. Where may be had, of the same Size and Price, the Second Gigantick Volume, which compleats the History of Guildhall: To which is added, a particular account of the whole procession of my Lord Mayor's Shew."

The History of Westminster Abbey is contained in two volumes, in every respect similar to the preceding, and dated 1742. Vol. I. has a cut of Westminster Abbey as a frontispiece, then a short poetical piece signed "A. Z."; then the names of the subscribers, among which occur:

"Master Tommy D'oyly of Rendlesham in Suffolk. Miss Anne Duval, daughter to Rev. Mr. Duval. Master Richard Gough. (This was, I believe, the

celebrated antiquary.]

The Honourable Master Frederick Kappel.
Hon. Lady Mary Kappel (and two others of same
name]."

The list of subscribers is followed by twenty-nine accounts of monuments, most of them giving the inscriptions at full length, beginning with Dryden and ending with Sir Cloudesly Shovel.

The Exhibition of Portraits at the South Kensington Museum, embracing the family portraits of Oliver from Chequers, has entailed upon the columns of The Times three letters from correspondents.

It may not be deemed inopportune if I notice, through your useful publication, some omissions and discrepancies in those letters.

Taking these seriatim, that on April 22 comes first. The descent from Oliver to Thomas is correct; but the statement would make it appear that there was but one lineal line of descent-that through Thomas by his second wife for no mention is made of the line by the first wife.

Thomas was born in 1699, and died 1748, having married twice-first, to Frances, daughter of John Tidman, by whom he had three sons and two daughters, one of whom only survived to be married, an event which took place in 1753 to John Field, of an old Hertfordshire family. Secondly, he (Thomas) married Mary, daughter of Richard Skinner, and had three sons and three daughters; his son Oliver only survived, and married Mary, daughter of Morgan Morse; and thus it is clear that the wife of John Field and the last-mentioned Oliver are half-brother and sister, and equally allied to the Protector as great-greatgreat grandchildren, the succeeding generations bearing equal positions. Thus:

As to the family property and curiosities, primogeniture had but little weight in the case, for the child by the first marriage and her descendants, the Fields, had but a very small share of the
