its advice would return a satisfactory answer to the Pontiff. The Archbishop returned: he was followed by Edward: and at the request of the King of France an armistice was granted to the Scots. To answer the letter of Boniface a Parliament was summoned to meet at Lincoln. The Universities were ordered to depute six civilians, and the Monasteries to furnish every document in their possession which could bear upon the question. After some debate a reply was framed, which was signed and sealed by one hundred and four Earls and Barons, in the name of the commonalty of England."-Ed. 1819, Quarto, Vol. II. p. 438-9.

It is to be regretted that Lord Hailes does not state the grounds on which he considered Rymer to have been wrong in assigning the year 1299 as the date of the Bull in question; but in proof that such was the year in which it was written, Dr. Lingard ingeniously observes, "From the Archbishop's reply to the Pope it appears that he was twenty days on his journey to Carlisle, remained on the borders six weeks, and reached the King on the 26th August; of course, he must have received the Bull in the end of June; and as it was dated on the 27th of that month, it must have been written the year before."

P. 7. Edward Tudor, afterwards King Edward VI. is stated to have been created Prince of Wales; but

Sandford asserts, that the Patent of creation to that dignity was never actually passed.

P. 13. 1. 23. It should have been observed, that Sir Edward Neville, the father of Edward Neville, VII.-6th Baron Abergavenny, was summoned to Parliament 2 and 3 Ph. and M. but died before the Parliament met; and in the 8th Jac. I. it was decided, that the direction and delivery of the Writ did not make him a Baron or Noble until he came to Parliament, and there sat according to the commandment of the Writ; and hence that no hereditary dignity was created by the Writ directed to him in consequence of his never having sat under it *.

P. 22. The date of the Patent of Creation of the Marquisate of Anglesey is, 4 July, 1815.

P. 26. John Fitz-Alan, who is there called the IX.-6th Earl of Arundel, died in 1272, and which should consequently have been also stated as the date when his son Richard Fitz-Alan succeeded to the Earldom. The list of the Earls of Arundel was compiled from that of previous writers, but it has been proved by the Lords' Committees in their Reports on the dignity of a Peer of the Realm, that in fact the first of the family of FitzAlan who was actually Earl of Arundel was Richard Fitz-Alan, who died in 1301, and who is called in p. 26, the X.-7th Earl.

P. 42. Dele the note; the date of the Writ of 49th Hen. III. being the 24th Dec.

P. 97. The date of the death of Richard last Earl of Burlington is erroneously stated to have been 1735 instead of 1753; this correction also applies to p. 135, as the Barony of Clifford of Lanesborough and the Earldom of Burlington both became Extinct on that event in 1753. Vide ADDENDA, p. 20.

The said Duke was also elected a Knight of the Garter, and dying in 1714 was, according to the above limitation, succeeded by his son Charles, who in 1706 was created Earl of Solway in Scotland, and his elder brother James having died vita patris, he likewise became Duke of Queensberry, &c. in Scotland.

P. 205. Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, Marquess of Dublin, and Duke of Ireland, was never a Knight of the Garter; the same correction applies to the latter title in p. 346.
