In a letter of 9 July, 1855, Newman says, " This day is the anniversary of one of the few times I have seen & dear brother of mine for 22 years.

(See 11 S. ii. 254, 293 ; iv. 434 ; vii. 96.)—Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street, heretofore known as Audley Chapel, South Audley Street Chapel, or St. George's Chapel in Audley Street, erected about 1730, has served as a chapel of ease for the parish of St. George, Hanover Square, under the provisions of two Acts of Parlia- ment : (1) An Act for the Establishment of a Chapel of Ease to be called Grosvenor Chapel in the Parish of St. George, Hanover Square (1 & 2 William IV., c. iii., passed 30 July, 1831); (2) the Grosvenor Chapel Act (13 July, 1899), which repeats the «arlier Act in most of its provisions. By the Act of 1831 the minister in charge of the chapel was designated Perpetual Curate, and it was provided that the Rector of St. George's should never himself be Perpetual Curate. By the later Act the Hector of St. George's was made Incumbent of Grosvenor Chapel, just as of St. George's itself. The chapel was consecrated by Bishop Blomfield, 12 April, 1832, and has been served by the Rector's licensed curate since 1899. A view of " Audley Chapel " appears in the ' Map of St. George's Parish, Hanover Square,' published by G. Bickham, sculp., 1761. The Registers of baptisms, marriages {prior to 1754), and burials at Grosvenor Chapel are incorporated with those of the mother parish. With the idea of improving the eastern ■end of the chapel, an application was mado to the Chancellor for the London Diocese, at a Consistory Court held in St. Paul's Cathedral on 1st Feb. last, by the Rector •and churchwardens of St. George's, Hanover Square, for a faculty authorizing certain architectural alteration at a cost of about 1,200/., viz., the erection of a new altar, baldachino, screen, and rood some 30 ft. to the west of the present altar, a space being left between the present altar (which would remain untouched) and the proposed new one to form a small chapel for week- day services, such alteration necessitating the removal of the present choir-stalls, the shifting of the pulpit several feet to the west, the removal of about thirty-five sittings, and the moving and replacement of five memorial tablets. The chapel has seating accommodation for 800 worshippers. The Chancellor delivered his reserved judg- ment on 11 Feb. A faculty was granted for the greater part of the alterations, including a group of figures representing the Cruci- fixion. It was proposed to erect a balda- chino as a reredos, but the Chancellor found himself unable to grant a faculty for this.

(See ante, p. 327.)—A mis- print, which " should be noted for all time," occurred in The Manchester Guardian, 4 July, 1904, in an article on 'Hawthorne in Manchester,' in connexion with the Haw- thorne centenary. Referring to Hawthorne's visits to the Art Treasures Exhibition in 1857, it is stated :— " What gave him most pleasure in the Exhibi- tion was the sight of some odd articles, such as the dagger with which Fenelon killed the Duke of Buckingham, and the embroidered shirt of Charles I. F. H. C. Taylor's ' Holy Dying ': Charles Lamb.—Writing to Robert Lloyd on 6 April, 1801 (' Letters,' i. 187, ed. Ainger), Lamb has this passage :— " Turn to the story of the Ephesian Matron in the second section of the 5th chapter of the same Holy Dying (1 still refer to the Dying part, because it contains better matter than the 'Holy Living,' which deals more in rules than illustrations— I mean in comparison with the other only, else it has more and more beautiful illustrations—than any prose book besides)—read it yourself and show it to Plumstead," &c. The reference given here to Taylor's work is misleading, and there is no editorial note
