review. In the year 1586 Geoffrey Whitney, a native of N amptwich in Cheshire, published at Leyden (where he was then residing) his' Choce of Emblems,' printed by Christopher Plantyn, and probably the only English book which owes its existence to the types of that celebrated printer. Its merit is derived more from its being the first publication of a Book of Emblems which had appeared in our language, tha:n from the excellence of the verses, which are for the most part translations from the Latin authors whose works we have been considering. Most of the. engravings also are from the same Blocks as they had employed.* The Book is inscribed to the Earl of Leycester, lately made Governor of the Low Countries, and many of the Emblems are dedicated t to Cheshire Gentlemen." Having set forth the opinions of various writers respecting Whitney and his works, I reserve, in some degree, my own, until I have told what I have to tell respecting his family and himself.

ffii~~~~~;ijn VERY question as to the ancient pedigrees of families, especially when decay has followed comparative wealth and distinction, is generally accompanied by doubts remaining to be solved, and by inaccuracies almost unavoidable. Such there are, and probably ever will be, in any memoir of Geffrey Whitney or of the members of his race. The name itself, as applicable to a family, like a vast number Through researches made in various libraries, I have been enabled to show fully, if not completely, from what authors and from what editions of their works the en gravings in Wltitnry have been borrowed. This subject will be found treated of in my Appendix, chap. i., with some brief notice of the artists by whom the woodcuts were produced. t Also to members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, to various clergymen and preachers, and to other persons of station and repute, whom Whitney counted among his patrons or friends. Several of his Leyden friends are also introduced. .

of other proper names, was first given to a place. The Domesdaybook mentions Witmie, i.e. Whitney, as being in Elsedune hundred in the county of Hereford. Other places in other counties bear the same name ; but it does not follow that the resident owners of the land, though bearing that name, are of the slightest affinity in blood. Of the gms, or family, to which Geffrey Whitney belonged, there appear to have been two principal branches: the elder settled at Whitney in Herefordshire, and possessing other estates within the county; and the younger having their homestead at Coole Pilate in the parish of Acton, near Nantwich, in Cheshire. Both branches however are of considerable antiquity, and intermarried with the leading families of their respective neighbourhoods. Anthony Wood favours the notion that Geffrey Whitney, the emblematist, was closely allied to the Herefordshire family; but, if by close alliance be meant immediate relationship, this notion is unsupported by adequate testimony. General tradition, historical evidence, and family pedigrees show the Cheshire Whitneys to have been of an independent stock for several generations. The original Whitneys derived their name from t~eir place of residence : they were- Eustace de Whitney, or Roger, or Baldwin de Whitney, as the christian name might be. On the confines of Herefordshire, a little north of the point where the county touches upon Radnor and Brecknock,- that was their cradle. Here the lovely Wye enters into England, and its first work is to flow between the parishes of Whitney and Clifford. On the bank to the north was formerly the castle of Whitney, one of the Welsh border strongholds, now represented by a group of mounds and also by Whitney-court, the residence of the present proprietors. The parish church of Whitney is about four miles from the Hay in Brecon, and seventeen miles from Hereford. The parish contains nearly 1500 acres, the chief owners being T omkyns Drew, esq., and the Rev. Spenser Phillips. In the old time it was a portion of the long-stretching debatable ground, within which were one hundred and forty-one little lordships, often at war with each other, and "amenable only to their several feudal chiefs." It was not included in either of the three adjoining

counties, until in I535- by act of parliament for the incorporation of England and Wales- Huntington, Clifford, Winforton, Pe1nnr. Cyclop. vo. ltlt. p. I SI Eardesley, and Whitney were united into the hundred of Huntington. That act serves to designate both the situation of the parish and the condition of the family. As a parish Whitney was protected and oppressed by one of those castles, like Grosmont, Skeafrith and White-castle, not to mention Ragland, which in their pride of state were of far more importance than the border peels or towers in the north of England.* As a family the Whitneys were a superior class of \Vat Tinlings, doing perpetual battle in their own behalf, and, except when it suited their purposes, bidding defiance to right and law. In the earlier times, when Bohuns, Mortimers, and the bishops of Hereford convulsed the whole country, and overshadowed even the royal sovereignty, little trace of the Whitneys appears 14 Edward 1. upon record ; yet, in A. D. I 300, a Eustacius de Whyteneye was Duncumb's ' Herefordshire, k ntghted at t he same ttme wt'th a Corb et, a L acy, an d a Marmyon; vol i. p. 79. and previous to that the same Eustace, in I 277 and I 280, acted as patron of the living of Pencomb, and in the latter year presented a Roger de Whitney. In I342 W. D. de Witenie was the incumbent; in I353 Baldwin de Whitney; and after I378 Dun.:wnb, Eustacius Whitney. The patrons of this living at various times, vol.u. p. ISJ. from I353 to I590, were, Robert de Whitney, I353; Baldwin de Whitney, I357; Robert Whitney, knt., I4I9 and I428; Robert Whitney, I539; then the Crown, during the minority of a Robert Whitney; and again in I 567, a Robert Whitney, knt.; and lastly James Whitney, knt., in I 590 In the offices of sheriffs of their county, knights of the shire in parliament, and justices in the commission of the peace, the name Whitney may be traced in Herefordshire from Henry V. (I4I3) to George Ill. (I799). Thus of Sheriffs of Herefordshire there have been:Henry V. I4IJ. I. Robert Whitney. Henry VI. I422. 6. Robert Whitney, knt1 I. Robert Whitney, knt 15. Robert Whitney.

The Robert Whitney of the parliament of I Elizabeth had "receaued the honorable Ordre of Knighthode in the tyme of the B ~bt1 ich Mu..,um, reigne of Queene Mary," and his crest, we are informed, was the 8 ouon. Claudiu~ e. iii. head of an ox but another sir Robert Whitney with the same Plut Ul . F. ' ' crest, is recorded to have been "dubbed at wynesore" after I 566 and before I 570. From there being a sir J ames Whitney, knt., of Herefordshire, in I574 (I6 Elizabeth), it may be conjectured that the second of the two sir Robert Whitneys, "dubbed" so near together, was of the Cheshire family, and brother to the "Master John Whitney" on whose death Roger Ascham wrote a lamentation, "which was afterwards translated by Kendall, and published in his Flowers of Epigrammcs (1 2mo 1577, fol. iii. Athenz Oxon. b)." "This was, perhaps, our author's (Geffrey Whitney's) uncle," ed. IIIJ, vol i. p. sa1. so Philip Bliss supposes, "as Ascham, or rather his translator, speaks of his dying young:"1 .

" Yong yeres to yeeld suche fruite in courte Where seede of vice is sowne, Is some tyme redde, in some place seen, Amongst vs seldome knowne."

It must however be remembered that we possess nothing of certainty on this point. We know that our author was of Cheshire birth, and if" Master John Whitney" was Geffrey's uncle, he probably was also Cheshire born, and so would the second sir Robert Whitney his brother be. As a matter of course the name Whitney occurs in the lists ofGent. MaJ.

The sir Robert Whitney, knt., of king James's and of Charles's reign, had four sons who all died without issue, and four daughters to whom the estate descended. They all married and enjoyed shares in the property. Robert Rodd, the only son and heir to Thomas Rodd, married Hannah Whitney, one of the four daughters, and conveyed her share to Robert Price of Foxley, by whom it was sold to William Wardour. William Wardour acquired the rest of the estate, and built the present Whitney-court, and also in 1740 Whitney church. The former church had been swept away by an overwhelming flood of the river Wye, and of the old monuments only one was spared, that to the memory of Williams of Cabalva in the neighbourhood, who married into the Whitney family. Mrs. Bourne held the property from William Wardour, and left it to her godson, the grandfather of the present owner Tomkyns Drew, esq., and of his brother the Rev. Henry Drew, rector of the parish. In passing from the Whitneys of Flerefordshire to those of Cheshire, we may refer again to the two sir Robert Whitneys of Mary's and of Elizabeth's reigns. According to "Amtcs itt Cltcsltire after tlte matter of tlte A !pltabctlt," we do not ascertain Ki~g's Vale , Royal, p. 111 . what the Whitney s crest was, only their shield ; neither have we evidence that the Hereford and Chester branches of the same stem bore different cognizances ; the argument therefore is inconclusive which maintains that, because the same crest is assigned Probably to the same family is to be assigned John Whitney, the author of a very rare book; Gmted Recreation, or tile Pltasurt of Angling, a Potm, with a Dialo~ btt-.m Piscator and Corydon. 12mo. 1700. There was a rev. George Whitney, instituted in 18o7 to the rectory of Stretford, Herefordshire, who died in !8J6. I Gent. Mag. have read somewhere that a captain Whitney was a companion of sir Waiter Raleigh, J8J6, P 41 8 and of the name a lieutenant fought at Worcester on the royalists' side. If Whitney the highwayman was a member of the family, it would be but an outbreak of the old spirit of the border chieftains. His exploits are narmted in " Tilt Jacobitt robbtr.

to each of the sir Ro?ert Whitneys in question,-they were both of the Herefordshire family. Besides the christian names of the heads of the Hereford Whitneys, except at the very beginning of Elizabeth's reign, are James and Eustace, James being a knight ; and among the Cheshire Whitneys of the same period British Museum we find one Robert, if not two ; namely, Robert Whitney of t!i~t. 'sf.4t. Coole, mentioned in the Visitation of Chester in I 580, and by the Emblems, p. 91, in I$86,-and Robert Whitney, returned to Biomefield's parliament in I 585 as member for Thetford, when Geffrey WhitN orfolk, vol. I. PP 467 .f68. ney was at Yarmouth in the same county. The probability then is, that the knight Robert of Mary's reign was of Herefordshire, and the knight Robert of Elizabeth's reign of Cheshire; in fact of the same family as that to which our emblematist belongedthe brother of one Geffrey, the father of another, and the uncle of a third. The head of an ox, as in our frontispiece, being assigned to the two knights Robert Whitney, it may be considered as the recognised badge of the families, and therefore is appropriately introduced,* as the emblem of steady and honourable industry, to symbolize our author's genius and labours. The autograph below the print was furnished me by an eminent investigator of old documents, Mr. T. W. }ones of Nantwich, with the assurance that it is authentic and genuine,t from a signature of the same date with the Emblems, but by which of the three cotemporaneous Geffrey Whitneys of Nantwich is not ascertained. At length we come to treat more particularly of the Cheshire Whitneys ; they were established in the county, and at Coole Pilate, a township in the wide-spread parish of Acton near Nant It is adopted from one of the emblem writers, Achilles Bocchi'!S, A. D. 1573, and the original was engraved on copper by Agostino Caracci. In this connection it may Bocchius Embl. be noted that the symbols on our titlep~e are also from Achilles Bocchius, who 147, p. 144names them Egyptian characters. They have been re-arranged to suit a title-page, and are merely a fancy of the editor's. t Of Whitney's autographs we present an unquestioned one from a book which once belonged to him, Paradin's INvuu Herciiquu. A curious paper in Nota and Qun-ia, Plate VII. "Autographs in Books," signed H. C. W., gives the following: "2. Oclandii AngioSecond series, vol. ii. p. :1.86. rum Pra!lia. London 1582, 12mo.

It would seem from this specimen Notes and Queries, second that he was a native of Chester." On this Dr. Edward F. Rimbault remarks, "This series, Yol. ii. old poet was certainly a native of Cheshire," and cites Whitney's Emblrms, p. 177 p. IJ7.

wich, almost as soon as those of Herefordshire were upon the Welsh border. "The manor" of Coole Pilate, say the Lysons, vol. u. Cbeshm:, Ma~ BriL. writing in 1810, "which was anciently parcel of the barony ofp..m. Wich-Malbank, is now the property of Lord Kilmorey: in this township were two halls, with considerable estates annexed, one of which belonged to the \Vhitneys, who became possessed of it u. '177-1199 in the reign of Richard 11. and had a seat there for many generations: this estate was purchased in 1744 of Mr. Hugh Whitney, by whose death the family is supposed to have become extinct.* The purchaser was Mr. John Darlington, whose daughter brought it in marriage to Henry Tomkinson esq. of Dorfold, the present proprietor: the hall is occupied by a farmer." . The Vale Royal of England testifies to the fact which the Lysons record. It describes where the brook Combrus, from which Combermere has its name, " meeteth shortly with the Water of Kiu,J' ed. 616. . , h pt. u. p. 6s. Weever, about Broom ha 11 a great T ownsh tp, "near w ereunto is scituate a Demean of the Whit11eys, called the Mannour of Cole Pi/ate." This manor, in the parish of Acton, was the homestead of the family; and here or in the neighbourhood they long dwelt. Their alliances show them to have been of consideration in Cheshire in the old time. About the reign of Henry VII. Anne, och"n~.od' t':)lllte, daughter of John Brooke of Leighton, in N antwich hundred, vol. m. p. 2-4' became the wife of Thomas Whitney of Coole. She was the Sir P. Leycester, HisL at1d Antiq. aunt to the Rtchard Brooke, esq., who " Purchased from the p. 1a . King the Mannor of Norton with its Members and Appur- n_.~~~- vm tenances." t Hugh Massey, of Denfield and Audlem, also in Nantwich In speaking of the extinction of the Cheshire Whitneys, the Lysons are not entirely correct. Towards the end of last century, Mr. Silas \Vhitney, also a poet, or writer of verse, from the neighbourhood of Nantwich, carried on business in Knutsford as a cotton manufacturer. He was reputed to be descended from the Whitneys of Coole Pilate, and a relative of the celebrated Josiah Wedgwood. When political feeling ran high and fierce about the first French revolution, he is said to have emigrated to the United States of North America, then in their rising glory. There the name is borne by many families, among whom very probably are to be found the lineal representatives of the Cheshire Whitneys. In the county at the present time there are few persons of the same name, but their relationship, if any, to the emblematist is not claimed by them, nor ascertained. t Among the Cheshire Records of Mr. T. W. ]ones occur "the following members of the Whitney (or Whytney) family":-

He died in 1646, and was buried at Audlem.* The manor-house of Coole Pilate is pleasantly situated on the bank of the river \Veever at a short distance from the stream, and is now occupied by a farmer. Of the old structure little remains, e~cept on the side looking towards the river. This side or \\;ng is in the usual style of ancient Cheshire houses,- a frame-work of timber painted externally black, and filled in with whitened plaster or brick.

Of these pedigrees we give the one which as far as England is concerned traces up the Whitney family to its early settlement in Herefordshire. Following page lxxxiv. is a p~oto-lithograph, being the Pedigree of Whitney, of Whitney in Herefordshire, from the "Memoranda," and at the head of it might be placed Turstin the Fleming, the son of Rolf, the father of Eustace who "assumed the name of Whitney, from his possessions, and thus established a family of that name, which was, for over six centuries, situated at Whitney in Herefordshire."Ill.

persons "we! knowne to the learned." Of his own skill and invention, as far as the subjects and devices are concerned, very little was produced ; in fact his aim was, not to strike out new paths, but to follow up the old. Similar emblems to those of Whitney are to be found in many writers previous to the year IS86, when "the Choice of Emblemes" appeared; and in all probability, when not copied from other sources, they were suggested by the works of Sebastian Brant, William Perriere, Giles Corrozet, Horapollo, Bartholemew Aneau, Peter Coustau, Paolo Giovio, Gabriel Symeoni, Amold Freitag, Theodore Beza and Nicholas Reusner. To these authors we may trace like thoughts and expressions and like devices. But in the vast majority of instances there is an absolute identity between the mottoes and pictorial illustrations in Whitney and those in earlier or contemporary writers ; and this identity extends to the employment of the very same wood-blocks for striking off the impressions. At various times, between I562 and I585, from Plantin's offices in Antwerp and Leyden, various editions had been published of emblems by Claude Paradin, Gabriel Faerni,* John Sambucus, Hadrian Junius and Andrew Alciat ; these are the veritable originals of a large proportion of Whitney's stanzas, and supply his work with most of the pictorial devices which adorn it. The devices not hitherto traced to other emblematists are these :Pagtitnl o/ D,.,Ut. Candle, book and hoW' glass Emb.s :119 The gnata round a candle, 6:~ C01T.E. 76, Parad, fol.161, Hear, be atill, llee Mercury armed with a pen 6o ~.p.25 1Wn6.49 The inaignia of .lEIIOUI.apius, uo Reed, oak and tempeet 43 Sarnh.

tender deserved thanks to my manuscript author, charitably guiding me in the dark, assuring that this doctor was 'ex pr.eclaro Chadertonorum Cestrensis co~itatus stemmate prognatus' (descended from the famous stem of Chadertons of the county of Chester). And although this doubtful direction cloth not cleave the pen, it cloth not hit the white ; so that his nativity may with most probability (not prejudicing the right of Lancashire when produced) here be fixed. He was bred first fellow, then master of Queen's, and never of Magdalen College in Cambridge (as the Reverend Bishop Godwin mistaketh), and chosen first the Lady Margaret's, then the King's professor in divinity; and doctor Whitacre succeeded him immediately in his chair. He was, anno 1579, made bishop of Chester, then of Lincoln 1594; demeaning himself in both to his great commendation. He departed this life in April 16o8." An authority in every way competent, the Rev. F. R. Raines, of Milnrow parsonage, Rochdale, decides against Fuller's "manuscript author," thus : "There is little if any doubt that William Cha d erton, B' hop o f L'mco ln, an d L awrence Ch a d erton, Master IS of Emanuel college, Cambridge, were of one family." "In lOOS there were only two families of heraldic rank of this name in Lancashire, represented by George Chaderton of Lees in Oldham, and Edmund Chaderton of Nuthurst in Manchester, the former the brother of Dr. Lawrence Chaderton and the latter the great-nephew of the Bishop of Lincoln. The precise degree of relationship between Dr. Lawrence Chaderton and the Bishop has not been discovered ; but they are presumed to have been descended, one in the third and the other in the fourth degree, from the two sons of Edmund Chaderton of the Lees, living there in 1428, the Bishop being of the younger branch." The pedigree of bishop Chaderton's branch generally. agrees with sir Peter Leycester's statement that "he had onely one Daughter and Heir, called :lone, the first Wife of Sir Rickard Brooke of Norton in Cheshire;" and that their only daughter and heiress Mary, or Elizabeth, for this is uncertain, was married to Torrell Jocelyne esq., of Essex or Cambridgeshire, of which marriage also the only issue was a daughter Theodora. To this Theodora was addressed that beautiful little book, beautiful for its spirit of deep love and devotion, " Tlze Motlzer's

Legacy to Iter Unborn Child." With a sad presentiment it had been written; the daughter was born October 12th 1622, and the mother having thanked God that she had lived to see her child a Christian, in a few days, as the appendix to the work recites, "ended her Prayers, Speech and Life together, rendring Mother'~Lep:y, h h Append1x, p. 19. her Sou I mto t e Hand of er Redeemer." The bishop was a man of earnest mind and had a leaning towards puritanism in religion ; to him Whitney's lines were very appropriate, for he was "arm'de with learning, and with life." During his abode in Cambridge he and Dr. Andrews, afterwards bishop of Ely, and Mr. Knewstubb, to whom Whitney devotes an em- Emb. P .. ,. blem, and others united in the observance of weekly meetings for conference upon Scripture; and thus by nearly two centuries anticipated the small association of students formed by Charles Wesley in Oxford for setting apart Sunday evenings to the reading of divinity.* King's Vale Royal gives two instances of the bishop's wit or Chronicon humour, of which one brought on him a severe rebuke. "This ~.~~n-e, Doctor, while at Cambridge preacht a Wedding-Sermon, and used therein this merry Comparison: The choice of a Wife (said he) is full of hazard, not unlike to a man groping for one Fish in a barrel full of Serpents : if he scape harm of the Snakes, and light on the Fish, he may be thought fortunate, yet let him not boast, for perhaps it may be but an Eele." Again, it is recorded: "He preached the Funeral Sermon of Henry S tanky, Earl of Derby, at Orms-Church in Lancashire, An. 1593; wherein having given large commendations of the deceased person, turned his Speech to Fcrdinando the then present Earl. You (said he) noble Earl, that not onely inherit, but exceed your Father's virtues, learn to keep the love of your Countrey, as your Father did.

But it is uncertain to what family he belonged. The name was one of renown, for Thomas Bourchier, cardinal-archbishop of Canterbury, is said to have introduced printing into England, and John Bourchier, who was chancellor of the exchequer to Henry VIII., translated La Cltronique of Froissart. Arthur Bourchier published a fable of .tEsop versified, and is the writer of a poem which appeared in the edition of The Paradisc of Dayntic Deuiscs in 16oo.

p. 205.- To ARTIIVRE STARKEY Esquier.

Notes Literary and Biographical.We may naturally look for some of the persons to whom Whitney devotes his power of song in the neighbourhood where he was himself born and brought up. The Starkeys, bearing for their crest a stork, as a Cheshire family were settled at Stretton in Budworth at least as early as the reign of Henry II. A.D. 1154. ~~J~s.Leyc:ester, and at Over about 1287, and on April 4th 1382, under the seal Galfridi De Warburlatz, a release was granted to Tlwmas Starkey of Strel/on. Two Starkeys in Richard H.'s reign married two coheiresses of the Oultons of Oulton and Wrenbury ; of the one -:;eJ~i::'.i79was descended sir Humphrey Starkey, chief baron of the exchequer, and members of this family may be traced to 1728; of the other are derived the Starkeys of Wrenbury, who became extinct in 1803. Now Wrenbury is very near to the place of Whitney's birth, and to Audlem where he went to school. Contemporary with him was Arthur Starkey of Wren bury, who was buried there in &!'.~~:vol. m. October 1622. His father Thomas Starkey died in 1566, and pp.IQ4andzos.. his mother was Katherine, daughter of sir Richard Mainwaring of lghtfield in Shropshire. In the three generations preceding his father the Starkeys of Wrenbury became allied with the Egertons of Oulton, the Mainwarings of Peover, and the Warburtons of Arley.p. 2o6.-To ]AN DOVSA, son of t/te very noble ]AN lord of NoortwiJck. Janus Dousa, or John Vanderdoes the elder, and John Vanderdoes the younger, were among the most celebrated of the literary men of Holland in an age which abounded in famous Dutchmen. John Vanderdoes the younger, born January 16th 1571, and dying 21st December 1598, was the most renowned of four brothers- himself, George, Francis and Theodore. George was an accomplished linguist, and undertook a journey to Constantinople, of which he published an account, and added to it Leyden, . . . . . vanous anc1ent mscnptlons from d"tr. 1uerent parts of G reece. cl>.i>.ic.

works. It was .however John Dousa the younger, on whose untimely death Joseph Scaliger composed a long poem, an "Epiccdium" or funeral dirge, and to whose memory, in modern times, Mattby's Sigenbeek has presented a warm "Laudatio,'' or offering of praise. At the time when Whitney dedicated this emblem to him he had not reached his fourteenth year, but his extraordinary acquirements at a very early age gave him a place among those who were remarkable for learning even in their childhood. The Latin stanzas bearing the name "J ANVS DovsA ~ N oortwijck" prefixed to the emblems, and attributed to the father, were really the composition of the son.* In his sixteenth year he wrote commentaries on Plautus, and at the age of nineteen he had made annotations on several learned works. He was in fact even then a poet, critic, mathematician and philosopher. His moral character was not less excellent than his intellectual faculties were admirable. He had been preceptor to Henry Frederic prince of Orange, and was cut off in his twenty-sixth year, leaving a name still fondly remembered in his native land, and highly estimated in the annals of learning. Considering his youth Whitney's emblem to him is very appropriate. It represents a man gathering grapes, treading the unripe bunches under his feet, but presenting the ripe fruit to a woman standing by his side. In the distance appears the bow of promise and Iris, the messenger of the gods, seated in expectation at its feet In the university library of Leyden is a curious relic, regarded as having belonged to John Dousa from his fourth year to his death in 1598, and then continued by some other member of the fa~ily down to February 14th 1628. It is a quarto manuscript, bearing on the binding the date 1575, with borders to the pages of which more than one-half are not written on. Among the entries one is, "A memorial relating to the marriage of Ysbrandt van der Does, when he married, whom he married, and the birth of his children by his wife." A good account of John Dousa the son, is given in Peerlkamp's As appears in the edition of the poems of John Dousa, the son, "]ANI Dousu;.

" The voyage of the Susan of London to Co~tstantinople, wherein p. 16J. the worshipfull M.

The ship left Blackwall the 14th of November 1582, and arrived at Constantinople on the 29th of March 1583, and on "the 11 day of April came to the Key of the Custom house." From his mansion, "Rapamat in Pera," Mr. Harebrowne dates several letters and consular documents. He remained in charge of English trade and English interests until his return " from ColtSialltinople ouerland to London, 1588." In a brief but interesting narrative of his journey we are told that he left the city of the sultan "with thirty persons of his suit and family" the 3rd August 1588, passing through Romania, Wallachia and Moldavia, and by the middle of September entering Poland, with the chancellor of which he had an interview on the 27th of September.
