ADDITIONS TO OBITUARY.

VOL. IV. p. 210.-In the memoir of the late Jomes Norris, Esq. of Nonsuch House, no allusion was made to a correspondence, of a very interesting nature batween him and the late Dr. Withering, of Birmingham, in the years 1797-8, respecting that extraordinary structure Stonehenge; which is published in the 1st volume of the "Miscellaneous Tracts of the late William Withering, M.D. F.R.S. to which is prefixed a Memoir of his Life, Character, and Writings," by his son, the late William Withering, esq. 2 vols. 8vo. 1822. The Correspondence occupies about forty pages, and several circumstances are recorded, and local information is given not easily obtained elsewhere, though the conjectures of the writers are, like many preceding ones on the same subject, more to be admired for their ingenuity than their conclusiveness. Yet, for those who take an interest in Stonehenge, the correspondence in question is too important to be overlooked, although it is not even alluded to in a compilation published at Salisbury, containing, under the name of "Conjectures on that Mysterious Monument of Ancient Art, STONEHENGE," extracts from Jeffry of Monmouth, and various other writers, down to Dr. Maton, and Sir R. C. Hoare. It is, therefore, probably, less known than it deserves to be.

VOL. V. p. 87.-A monument to the late Duke of Beaufort is placed in the private chapel of the family, at Badmintom by his present Grace. It comprises a plain centre tablet placed between two very elegant pilasters of unusually pure statuary marble, and resting on a broad and

The

noble plinth of vein stone. The pilasters decorated with the portcullis, garter, and ducal coronet, support a rich and elaborate pediment, the scrolls and foliage of which are of excellent workmanship, and are surmounted by the arms of the family, carved in bold and beautiful relief. whole repose against a background of pure dove marble, the tints of which tone finely with the general character of the monument, forming an ensemble seldom witnessed in designs of this description. On the tablet is engraved the following: "Sacred to the Memory of HENRYCHARLES SIXTH DUKE OF BEAUFORT, K.G. Born Dec. 22, 1766, succeeded his father, Henry, fifth Duke, Oct. 11, 1803; died Nov. 23, 1835, in the 69th year of his age. In kindness of heart, suavity of manners, gentleness and meekness of disposition, in humility and diffidence of his own merits, in integrity of purpose and uprightness of conduct, few equalled-none surpassed him. It might be truly said of him, that he was the rich man's friend, the poor man's benefactor. In every relation of life he shone preeminent. He was the most dutiful of sons, the kindest of fathers, the best of husbands, the most affectionate of brothers. He lived diffusing happiness and comfort around him; his death was that of a true Christian. He died universally beloved, respected, and lamented. remembrance of his many virtues this tablet was erected by his affectionate son, Henry, seventh Duke of Beaufort, A.D. 1837."
