To my wife, my manor of IT cannot be said that all difficulty as to the identity of this knight has been removed. Manning in his Lives of the Speakers' makes no attempt to specify his parentage; and the writer of the in- teresting article upon him in the Dict. Nat. Biog.,' while correctly stating that he was second son of Walter Pollard of Plymouth by Avice, daughter of Richard Pollard, of Way, Devon, seems also to be of opinion -though doubtfully-that he was the Sir John Pollard knighted on 2 Oct., 1553. Now while it is certain that a person of these names was among the Coronation knights of Queen Mary, it is equally clear that he could not have been the man who was after- wards Speaker. Not only is the latter an "armiger" in the whole of his returns to Parliament between 1553 and 1555, but in the Journals of the House of Commons, at his election to the Chair in both 1553 and 1555, he is styled "John Pollard, esqre.'

Gray], late of London, Both wills were proved 13 Oct., 1557, by Anthony Pollard and Ralph Ferne. From these two wills it is evident that the ex-Speaker received knighthood between buried 25 Aug., 1557, his enjoyment of the 5 May and 2 Aug., 1557; and as he was knightly dignity was but brief. He died he left a wife, who, if one of the daughters 8.p., though, as we gather from his will, of Richard Gray of London, may have been the "Dame Mary Pollerd, als Norris, widow," to whose estate, on 21 Dec., 1608, Grey, her next of kin.

THE following events of interest in the history of the house of Longman, which appeared in the extra number of Notes on Books published by the firm on the 8th of December last, deserve, I think, a permanent record in ' N. & Q.' :— 1757 UNDER SEVEN MONARCHS. Esq., published. In the Reign of George II. liam Pollard, son to Sir Richard Pollard, 1724 The Works of the Honourable Robert Boyle, deceased." This Sir Richard was the head cousinship of the line of Way, but the may have been solely a maternal kinship, through the Speaker's mother Avice, who was daughter of Anthony Pollard of Way, and aunt of Sir Richard. So far as appears, the male line of the Speaker's family ended with his brother Anthony. The Pollards of Way, while tracing back to the fourteenth century, were brought first into prominence, and their future greatness established, by Sir Lewis Pollard, Justice of the Common Pleas 1511 to 1526. In all notices of him a serious mistake is made as to the year of his death. Foss states that he retired from the Bench in 1526, but lived until 1540; and these dates have been adopted in 'Dict. Nat. Biog.' The will of "Sir Lewes Pollard, militis, Justice of the King's Bench " [sic], is dated 4 Nov., 16 Hen. VIII., and was proved 2 Nov., 1526; so that it is evident that he retired from his judicial duties only through death. He was the founder of several lines of the Pollard family. Both the 'Dict. Nat. Biog.' and Foss state that he had no fewer than eleven sons and eleven daughters, four of his sons being knighted. This large family wants confirmation; possibly many 1788 1798 · In the Reign of George III.

Since the founding of the firm it has never been without a Thomas Longman, and the present is the fifth bearing that name. When one considers the freedom with which theological questions are now discussed, it is strange to remember what offence was 1908 The Journal of Elizabeth, Lady Holland, given to some friends of the firm by the published. publication of Essays and Reviews' in 1861. As to Colenso's Pentateuch' in 1862, all the blame fell on the Bishop. Looking at the record of the chief events in the history of the Longman firm, I can imagine none which it regards with greater pleasure than its association with Macaulay, which was vividly recalled to public remembrance by the affectionate terms in which his nephew Sir George Trevelyan referred to it at the recent Booksellers' Dinner as 66 an old family connexion, as prolonged as any recorded in literary history- a connexion never clouded by suspicion, never disturbed by even the shadow of a misunderstanding. It began in the year 1842, sixty-six years ago, when Lord Macaulay's books were published; indeed, it may be said to have begun in 1825, when the Essay on Milton was sent to The Edinburgh Review......Macaulay has left than the close bond of friendship, and mutual sermuch to me, and to those who are coming after me; but he has left us hardly anything of higher value vice, which has already united us for two generations to a certain house in Paternoster Row.'
