In Todd's Life of .tpenser, in which there is to be found much valuable informatioti r•gard ing the studies and pursuits of this great wan, and the state of English literature at that pe riod, there is a curious letter of Spenser's friend, Harvey, in which lie recommends to the author of The Bury Queen the study of Petra►eh.— " Think upon Petrarche, and perhappes it will ad. vantice the wings of your imagination • degree higher; at least if any thing can be added to the loftiness of his couceite, whom gentle Mistress Rosalind once reported to have all the intelligences at commandinent, roil another time christened him Signor Pegauo." The gentle Mistress Rosaliud here mentioned, was a lady to whom Spenser was early attached.

In July 1580, Spenier was, by the interest of the Earl of Lei. tester and Sir Philip Sydney. appointed Seery. tary to Lord Grey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

Ilia residence, every spot around which is classic grossed, is described by Smith in his Natural aid Civil History of Me Coaaty of Cork. The castle was then nearly level with the ground.
