OBITUARY.
DR. T. F. HENDERSON.
Mr. T. F. Henderson, an able, learned, and accurate Scottish scholar, died on Chrmistmas Day at his residence, the lonely farmhouse called the Wraes, in a part of Renfrewshire that retains unspoiled the characteristics of old Scotland.
Thomas Finlayson Henderson was born in Fifeshire in 1844, the second son of the Rev. Archibald Henderson. He was educated at St. Andrews, which University conferred on him in 1914 an honorary LL.D. Originally intended for the Church, he very soon devoted himself to literary work, first on the staff of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" and then on that of "The Dictionary of National Biography," for which he wrote many Scottish lives. He was also a contributor of several chapters to the "Cambridge History of English Literature." He was recognized as an authority on Burns, and he was joint editor with the late W. E. Henley of the "Centenary Burns." To this Henley contributed a life of the poet, but to Henderson fell the spade-work of the undertaking. For the first time Burns was edited with the care usually reserved for editions of the ancient classics.
Henderson was also an authority on the life of Mary Queen of Scots, and in his "Casket Letters of Mary Queen of Scots" he sought to prove her authorship of those famous documents. He also wrote a standard "History of Scottish Vernacular Language," and other works. His writings, as is often the case with works of real scholarship, were not remunerative, and a grant from the Royal Literary Fund did much to relieve his last years. That fund had helped the widow of Burns—"The Bonnie Jean" of immortal song—and after the lapse of a century it again helped the editor and biographer of the poet. Mr. Henderson was of a shy and retiring nature, yet to his few intimate friends he was known as a man of high and pure character, ever ready to help with his knowledge those who asked his aid.

Mrs. J. E. Panton
Mrs. Jane Ellen Panton, who died on London recently, was the second daughter of W. P. Frith, R.A., the painter of "The Derby Day." Mrs. Panton, who was born on October 18, 1848. was the author of a number of books. Her "Leaves from a Diary" drew a vivid picture of the artistic and literary society of the mid-Victorian period, among which her father, and his family moved. Other works of hers, "Leaves from a Garden," "Leaves from the Countryside," and "The year's Mind," drew very charming pictures of country life as a setting to narrative fiction without the aid of dialogue, a mode employed by her with considerable success. In a different vein, she wrote earlier in life a well-known book, "From Kitchen to Garret," and other kindred works, to which many young housekeepers owed a good deal Mrs. Panton had a vivid and brilliant personality. She was a witty and outspoken conversationalist, with the courage of her opinions, and under a naturally impatient temperament there lay a fund of real kindness and wisdom which was always at the service of her friends, and to which many, especially young people owed much. Mrs. Panton was married to Mr. James Albert Panton, of Wareham, Dorset, who died in 1921, after over fifty years of married life. There were five children of the marriage, of whom two sons and two daughters survive.

FROM LORD CARTERET.
I HAD the favour of your letter of the 19th of February. A gentleman left it at my door. I have not heard from him since, though he said he would call again, and who he is, I do not know. I showed it to my wife and lady Worsley, who will not fail to obey your commands, and tease me, if I could be forgetful of your orders, to attend the cause of the city of Dublin when it comes into the house. I know by experience, how much that city thinks itself under your protection, and how strictly they used to obey all orders fulminated from the sovereignty of St. Patrick's. I never doubted their compliance with you in so trivial a point as a recorder. You can give any one law and capacity in half an hour; and if by chance a rake should get those faculties any other way, you can make the worthy citizens believe he has them not; and you can sustain any machine in a furred gown.
I thank you for the letter by Mr. Pilkington. I have seen him twice at a great entertainment at my ​lord mayor's, where you was the first toast. I like the young man very well, and he has great obligations to you, of which he seems sensible.
I hope Dr. Delany is well, and that you see one another often, and then the doctor would not have leisure to pursue his dissertations, or to answer the reverend prelate on your side, who I hear has answered him. As I have not read the dissertations, so I shall not read the answer; which, I hope without offence, I may suppose to be your case. If so, I hope you will endeavour to keep me well with the doctor, who took it a little unkindly of me, that I would shut my eyes to such revelation, so demonstrated. I have a great esteem for him, to which nothing that he can write upon those subjects can make any addition: and therefore, I would run no risk as to altering my opinion of him by reading his books.
That health and prosperity may attend you, is my sincere wish; and I entreat you to believe that I am, with great truth, sir, your most humble and obedient servant.

FROM LORD CARTERET.
I THIS day attended the cause you recommended to me in your letter of the 3d of January: the decree ​was affirmed most unanimously, the appeal adjudged frivolous, and 100l. costs given to the respondent. Lord Bathurst attended likewise. The other lords you mention, I am very little acquainted with; so I cannot deliver your messages, though I pity them in being out of your favour. Since you mention Greek, I must tell you, that my son, not sixteen, understands it better than I did at twenty, and I tell him, “Study Greek;” καὶ οὐδὲν οὐδέποτε ταπεινὸν ἐνθυμηθήσῃ οὔτε ἄγαν ἐπιθυμήσεις τινός. He knows how to construe this, and I have the satisfaction to believe he will fall into the sentiment; and then, if he makes no figure, he will yet be a happy man.
Your late lord lieutenant told me, some time ago, he thought he was not in your favour. I told him I was of that opinion, and showed him the article of your letter relating to himself: I believe I did wrong: not that you care a farthing for princes or ministers; but because it was vanity in me, to produce your acknowledgments to me for providing for people of learning, some of which I had the honour to promote at your desire, for which I still think myself obliged to you. And I have not heard that since they have disturbed the peace of the kingdom, or been jacobites, in disgrace to you and me.
I desire you will make my sincere respects acceptable to Dr. Delany. He sent me potted woodcocks in perfection, which lady Granville, my wife, and children, have eat, though I have not yet answered ​his letter. My lady Granville reading your postscript, bids me tell you, that she will send you a present; and if she knew what you liked, she would do it forthwith. Let me know, and it shall be done, that the first of the family may no longer be postponed by you to the third place. My wife and lady Worseley desire their respects should be mentioned to you rhetorically; but as I am a plain peer, I shall say nothing, but that I am, for ever, sir, your most humble and obedient servant,
CARTERET.

FROM LORD ORRERY.
I HAVE but this paper left, and how can I employ it better than in triumphing over my rival. Mea est Lavinia conjux. To morrow miss Hamilton gives me her heart and hand for ever. Do I live to see the day when toupets, coxcomical lords, powdered squires, and awkward beaux, join with the dean of St. Patrick's in loss of one and the same object? My happiness is too great, and in pity to you I will add no more than that I hope to see grief for this loss strongly wrote in your face even twenty years hence. Adieu, your generous rival,
ORRERY.

DUKE STREET, WESTMINSTER,
I MUST answer a letter I never received. The dean tells me you wrote to me; but the seas, or the postmasters, are in possession of the manuscript. Should it fall into Curll's hands, it may come into print, and then I must answer it in print, which will give me a happy opportunity of letting the world know how much I am your admirer and servant.
I agree entirely with the person who writes three or four paragraphs in the dean's letter. Humour and wit are, like gold and silver, in great plenty in Ireland; nor is there any body that wants either but that abominable dean, the bane of all learning, sense, and virtue. I wish we had him here to punish him for his various offences, particularly for his abhorrence of the dear dear fashions of this polite age. Pray, madam, send him, and you will hear what a simple figure he will make among the great men of our island, who are every day improving themselves in all valuable qualities and noble principles.
I rejoice to hear your fair daughter is in health. I am, to her and you, a most obedient humble servant,
ORRERY.

FROM LORD CARTERET.
I HAD the honour of your letter, which gave me a considerable pleasure to see that I am not so much out of your thoughts, but that you can take notice of events that happen in my family. I need not say, that these alliances are very agreeable to me; but that they are so to my friends, adds much to the satisfaction I receive from them. They certainly enable me to contract my desires, which is no inconsiderable step toward being happy. As to other things, I go on as well as I can: and now and then observe, that I have more friends now, than I had when I was in a situation to do them service. This may be a delusion: however, it is a pleasing one. And I have more reason to believe a man, now I can do him no good, than I had when I could do him favours, which the greatest philosophers are sometimes tempted to solicit their friends about. I shall continue to serve Mrs. Barber, by recommending her, as occasion shall offer, where it is necessary; but you have done that so effectually, that nothing need be said to those, to whom you have said any thing in her behalf. I hope Dr. Delany is, as he always used to be, cheerful in himself, and agreeable to all that know him; and that he, by this time, is convinced, that the world is not worthy of so much speculation as he has bestowed upon some matters. ​Lady Worsley, my wife, and daughters, to whom I have shown your letter, not forgetting my mother, present their humble service to you. And I desire to recommend the whole family, as well as myself, to the continuance of your favour. I am, sir, with the greatest respect, your most humble and most obedient servant,
CARTERET.

FROM LORD CARTERET.
I HAD the honour of your letter, and attended the cause yesterday, and the day before: it went for your friend upon the justest principle, and that unanimously. He did not only carry his cause before the house, but his future cause springing out of this, is mended by the decree. The chancellor said, the respondent had more reason to appeal than the appellant. Mr. Lindsay, who informed you right in all the matters you mentioned to me, will inform you, on perusing our decree, of the reason of the chancellor's expression. I have a partiality for ​captain Rowley in every thing but judicature; and in that capacity, if judge Lindsay and I sat together, I fancy by what I know of him, that we should seldom disagree.
I thank you for taking notice of the prosperous events that have happened to my family. If alliance and the thoughts of prosperity can bind a man to the interest of his country, I am certainly bound to stand by liberty: and when you see me forgetful of that, may you treat me like Traulus and Pistorides. I am impatient for four volumes, said to be your works, for which my wife and I have subscribed; and we expected a dozen of copies from Mr. Tickell last packet.
I intend these works shall be the first foundation of the libraries of my three grandsons. In the mean time, they will be studied by my son and sons in law.
I desire you will condescend to make my compliments to Dr. Delany, for whom I have a most hearty esteem, though I know he thinks me not serious enough upon certain arduous points of antiquity.
Sir, that you may enjoy the continuance of all happiness, is my wish: as for futurity, I know your name will be remembered, when the names of kings, lords lieutenants, archbishops, and parliament politicians, will be forgotten; at last, you yourself must fall into oblivion, which may happen in less than a thousand years, though the term may be uncertain, and will depend on the progress that barbarity and ​ignorance may make, notwithstanding the sedulous endeavours to the contrary, of the great prelates in this and succeeding ages. My wife, my mother, my mother-in-law, my, &c. &c. &c. all join with me in good wishes to you; and, I hope, you will continue to believe, that I am, with the greatest respect, sir, your most humble and most obedient servant,
CARTERET.

IF I were to tell you who inquire for you, and what they say of you, it would take up more paper than I have in my lodgings, and more time than I stay in town. Yet London is empty: not dusty, for we have had rain: not dull, for Mr. Pope is in it: not noisy, for we have no cars: not troublesome, for a man may walk quietly about the streets: in short, it is just as I would have it till Monday, and then I quit St. Paul's, for my little church at Marston.
Your commands are obeyed long ago. Dr. King has his cargo, Mrs. Barber her conversation, and Mr. Pope his letters. To morrow I pass with him at Twickenham: the olim meminisse will be our feast. Leave Dublin, and come to us. Methinks there are many stronger reasons for it than heretofore; at least I feel them: and I will say with Macbeth, Would thou could'st!
My health is greatly mended; so, I hope, is yours: write to me when you can, in your best health, and utmost leisure; never break through that rule. Can friendship increase by absence?
​Sure it does; at least mine rises some degrees, or seems to rise: try if it will fall by coming nearer: no, certainly it cannot be higher. Yours most affectionately,
ORRERY.

FROM THE EARL OF ORRERY.
DUKE STREET, WESTMINSTER,
JULY 7, 1741.
THANKS to you, dear sir, for your frequent remembrance of me by my great friend and patron master George Faulkner: thanks to you for the honours you have showed my wife: but above all, thanks to you for using exercise and taking care of your health. It is the strongest instance of affection your friends either desire or deserve. In mentioning your friends, I must particularize Mr. Pope: he obeys your commands, and flings away much time upon me: Nec deficit alter aureus; doctor King does the same. Thus deities condescended to visit and converse with mortals.
​Poor lord Oxford is gone to those regions from whence travellers never return, unless in an airy visit to faithless lovers, as Margaret to William; or to cities devoted to destruction, as Hector amidst the flames of Troy. The deceased earl has left behind him many books, many manuscripts, and no money: his lady brought him five hundred thousand pounds, four of which have been sacrificed to indolence, good nature, and want of worldly wisdom: and there will still remain, after proper sales, and right management, five thousand pounds a year for his widow.
Mr. Cæsar died about two months ago. Mrs. Cæsar is still all tears and lamentations, although she certainly may be numbered inter felices, sua si bona norint.
Lord Bathurst is at Cirencester, erecting pillars and statues to queen Anne. Lord Bolingbroke lives in France: posterity, it is to be hoped, may be the better for his retirement. The duke of Argyll reigns or ought to reign in Scotland. — Such is the state of Europe; but our disappointment in America has cast a gloomy face over London and Westminster. The citizens have recourse to mum and tobacco, by which means they puff away care, and keep dismay at a proper distance; in the mean time, my friends the ducks and geese in the park cackle on, and join in chorus to the sounds of victory that are daily drummed forth on the parade, but reach no farther than the atmosphere of Whitehall. —— What news next? The weather — but you certainly know it is hot; for in truth, notwithstanding this letter comes from my heart, and is written in the ​pleasure of thinking of you, yet I sweat to assure you how much I am, dear sir, your ever obliged and obedient humble servant,
