DORCHESTEB, ON the borders of Berkshire, 49 miles from London tl1rough Maidenhead and Henley on Thames, and Sf miles S. E. from Oxford, contained in 1831, a population of 866 persons; the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 3646l. It is situated on the banks of the Thame, near its confluence with the lsis, whence their united streams form the river Thames. The bridge over the Thame, designed by Sauds, was opened in July 1815; when the old picturesque one, built in the reign of ..Edward 11 I. was demolished. It crossed the river a little below the present bridge, which has a spacious centre arch, and a causeway continued nearly a quarter of a mile, rendered necessary by the inundation of the meadows in the winter season. A fair is held on Easter Tuesday. This town was anciently a place of great importance, having been an epi~copal see of unusual magnitude from the time of St. Birinus until the latter part of the eleventh century, when it was removed to Lincoln by St. Remigius. The present parochial church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is incorporated with that of the suppressed priory of Augustine canon!!, which was founded by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, in 1140 ; and is one of the most in tcresting ecclesiastical buildings in the county, containing many beautiful specimens of ancient att in sculpture, painted glass, &c. The general style of ar.:hitecture of this church i& elegant, there being scarcely an arch, window or Oxfordshire.] , K doorway, that is not an example of beautiful proportion and judicious ornament. The edifice is large, and consists of a tower at the west end, which appears to have been erected subsequently to the church; two aisles of equal length, a chapel on the north side, and a chancel. The last i!i a magnifi· cent specimen of the style of pointed architecture prevalent in the reign of Edward Ill., but has suffered irreparable injury by the destruction of the original roof, and the substitution of the present, which is not so lofty. The mullions of the north window are disposed as a genealogical tree, representing the root of J esse, vide Isaiah, chap. ii. 1. Under the south window are four stalls of rich workmanship. The font, of lead, is of very remote antiquity, and exceedingly curious; it stands on a stone pedestal of a circular form, and is enriched with an arcade in has-relief; beneath each arch, eleven in number, is a sitting figure, probably bearing allusion to the history of St. Birinus. Here are many curious monuments, and some sepulchral brasses. The living is a perpetual curacy, value 1 OOl. per annum, in the presr:ntation of the trustees of Fettiplace, Esq. In the churchyard is an ancient cross. The parish of Dorchester is in W allingford Union. Near the town are Dyke Hills, a Roman entrenchment, perhaps thrown up to command the passage of the rivers Thame and Isis. Numerous coins and other Roman remains Lave been found in the neighbourhood.

The church is dedicated to St. Leonarcl1 atrd near it i!l an ancient cross; the living is jil vicarage, value 178l. per annum, in the patronage of N. Skillicorne, Esq. Here is a well endowed school founded by John Bartholomew. An abbey of Benedietine monks, was built at Ensham in 1005, by Ailmer, Earl of Cornwall, and the foundations of the building may yet be traced. John Roger~, D.p. a theological writer, a native of this place, ,dieq in 1720 aged 50, and in the church is a monument to his memory. The parish of Ensham is in Witney Union. In the neighbourhood are Ensbam Hall, and W vtham Abbey, the seat of the Eart of A bingdon, er~ered about the rtoign of Henry 6th; the gatehouse, in the centre of the front, and the hall are fine examples of ancien~ architecture. A ::;hart distance southward is the village of 'Cumner1 brought into general notice by Sit W alter Scott's delightful romance of Kenilworth. Cumner Place came into the possession of Anthony Forster, and wa~ enlar~ed by him, and made his residence after the reformation: the pathetic description of the death of the unfortunate Anny Robsart, Countess of Leicester, w bile under confinement here, has doom~d the s~Jot to etemal celebrity. The Hall-hbuse, as it was subsequently termed, wa!l pulled down about 18101 wheq the materials were used to rebuild Wyth~m church. In Cumner church is the rich alter tomb of the notorious Anthony Forster. • Name, :Residence, &. Pro:fessiqn.

Northward is Ewelme Park, one of the most beautiful situations in the county, owing to the diversity of the surrounding scenery; and not far distant is Stonor Park, the seat of T. Stonor, Esq., a family of great antiquity in Oxfordshire. The mansion was erected in the reign of Elizabeth, or J ames I., but has been much modernised; the park nearly three miles in circumference, is well stocked with deer, and is celebrated for the fine flavour of its venison. At the extremity of one of the wings of the house, is a chapel built by Sir John Stonor, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in the reign of Edward Ill.; over the altar is a painted window by Egginton, representing the Salvator Mundi, after Carlo Dolce. :Name, :Residence, &.

The date of its erection, 1569, app,ears on one of the stones in the gaule, and it is a very fine specimen of the architecture of that period ; during his life he erected an almshouse here for five men and one woman. A free school was also established by bequests of the second Earl of Abingdon and others, and there are various charitable benefactions. A short distance to the north-west of the church are the remains of the prebendal house, consisting of nearly three sides of a quadrangle; a large refectory is still visible, and the chapel is also preserved; these remains, evincing considerable former grandeur, are now used as farm buildings. Sir John Halt, Lord Chief Justice in the reign of William Ill., was a native of Thame. This parish is in the Union of the same name. About a mile south from the town is Thame Park, the seat of Miss Wickham ; it formerly contained an abbey of Cistercian monks, originally founded by Sir Robert Gait at Oddington, but which being exposed to inundations, was removed to Thame, in the reign of Stephen. Considerable portions of the abbey which stood at the dissolution, adjoin the present elegant mansion; the tower at the east end contains a chamber, ornamented with carved shields of arms offormer possessors of the estate, built about the time of King Henry VII. In a gallery is preserved a small collection of armour and arms, and the drawing room contains numerous family pictures. Near the house is a chapel, the most ancient part r~maining of the abbey buildings, used as a burial place for the family; among the monuments is one by Westmacott, of the last Viscount Wen man, who died in 1800. The park is extensive, and was laid out by t)1e celebrated Launcelot .Browne. • • At Thame the patriot Hampden died of the wound he received at Chalgrove Field on June 18th, 1643. About two miles westward of the town is Rycot or Reicote Park, the property of the Earl of Abingdon. . Name, :Residence, &. Profession. A MARKET town on the borders of Bucking ham shire, 44 miles from London through High Wycombe, but 50 miles by the road through Aylesbury, and 12 miles east from the city of Oxford, contained 2,885 inhabitants in 1831; and the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 9,520l. It derives its name from being situated on the river Thame, and consists principally of one long and spacious street, with the market place in the centre, over which is the town hall. The market is on Tuesday, and is well supplied with corn, cattle, poultry, &c.; and fairs are held on Easter Tuesdav and Old Michaelmas day, for horses, cattle, and. swine.

It is an irregularly built town, with a curious market house in the centre, at the junction of four ways, which was erected by Thomas Stonor, Esq. in 1644, who in the same year founded the free grammar school here. The marht is· on Saturday, and fairs are • held on April 5th, and Saturday before October lOth. There is no staple manufacture, but lace-making is carried on to some extent. The town is watered by a brook that rises in the vicinity, on which are several corn mills. The petty sessions are held here; also courts leet and baron. The church, dedicated to St. Leonard, contains various monuments of the Horne family: the living is a vicarage, value 17 5l. per annum, in the patronage CJf J. H. Tilson, Esq. Here are also chapels for Baptists, Independents, and Wesleyan Methodists. The manor of Watlington was granted by King Edward Ill., to Sir Nicholas De la Beche, who in l33S obtained a license to convert his house into a castle; it stood near the east end of the church, where indications of the moat that surrounded it may yet be traced. Watlington Park comprises an extent of about 300 acres, in which all the various features of the Chiltern inequalities are blended, and the woods contain some of the finest beech trees in the county. The parish of W atlington includes Green field liberty, aud the hamlet of W armscomb, and is in Henley Union. On Britwell Hill are some remains of trenches, indicating the site of an ancient encampment. A bout a mile northward of Watlington, is Shirburn Castle, the seat of the Earl of M acclesfi~ld, Lord Lieutenant of the county: it is nearly in the form of a parallelogram, with a circular tower at each angle of the edifice, the intervals being occupied by fiat ranges of stone building, and along the whole top is an embattled parapet. The castle is encompassed by a broad and deep moat, the water flowing up to the walls on all sides; it is approached by three drawbridges, and the chief entrance is guarded by a portcullis. In the reign of Ed ward Ill., W arine de Lisle had permission to build a castle at Shir· burn, which was afterwards in the possession of the families of Quatremaine, Fowler, and Chamberlayne: the castle and mar.or of Shirburn were purchased by Thomas Parker, who was created Lord Macclesfield in 1716, afterwards Lord Chancellor; in 1721, he was further advanced to the title of Earl. The old hall of the castle is appropriated as an armoury, and is bung with suits of armour of ancient date, &c. There are two large libraries, and some very excellent pictures, among which is an original portrait of Queen Katherine Parr, who is represented in a costume of the most costly description; in the lower part of the frame under a glass, is a lock of her hair; it is auburn, and matches exactly with that dP.lineated in the picture; also a portrait of the Earl of Mac· clesfield, Lord Chancellor. The park contains about 60 acres. Shirburn Castle was honoured with a visit by Queen Charlotte and the princesses in the summer of 1808. :Name, Residence, & Profession.

WITNEY1 a market town, 65 miles from London1 through Uxbridge, High Wycomb, and Oxford, from which last it is distant 11 miles W. by 'N. contains 5336 inhabitants, according to tha census of 1831 ; and the annual value of assessed property iu 1815 was 3204[. It is pleasnntly situated on the river Windrush, oYer which is a stone briclge erected in 1822. The town, consisting chiefly of twd s.treets, tl1~ principal one upwards of a mile in length, has long been celebrated for it3 manufacture of blankets, which trade, though now divided with many other places, gives employment to a large portion of the population. Since the introduction of machinery, blankets have been made at a woollen mill near Bridgend, in Glamorganshire, whence they are sent to Witney for sale. The river Winrlrush is said to possess peculiar qualities, which contribute to thtj whiteness and softness of the unrivalled blankets manufactured here. Other woollen goods are made at Witney, also gloves, paper, malt, &c. The Blanket Hall, for the transaction of business1 was erected in 1721 ; there is also a town hall, the lower part of which is used for t.l1e market, held on Thursday, and well attended by the neighbouring farmers, who sell large quantitie3 of grain by sam· ple; it is plentifully supplied with trout and crayfish of the finest quality, fur which the river Wind· 1·ush is famed. The market cross was built in 1683, by William Blake, Esq., of Coggs. Fairs are held on Thursday in Easler week, Thursday after July llth and 2·4th, Thnrsday following tbe first Sunday after September 8th, Thmsday before October lOth, and Thursday after December 1, fur cattle and cheese. The town is govern(•d by two bailiffs and two constable!1, chosen at the annual court leet; a court baron is also held twice a year. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a spacious and beautiful structme, one of the finest in the county; it is situated at the southern extremity of the High stred, and forms a fine object when seen in the general view of the town. In plan it ·is cruciform, with a tower in tl1e cerHre, whence tiscs a lofty spire. The chancd contains a picina, and remains of the stone stalls used by t!Je priests and deacons during the celebration of mass, A chapel on the north side of the builuing is the burial place of the Wenman fa.mily, the ceiling of the chapel is of a carved wood, painted and thickly interspersed with gilt stars. In the north transept is a mural tablet, in mem<l[Y of Henry Box1 a native pf Witney, who

WlTNEY. OXON. fptmded a11d endowed the fn~e grammar ~chool here in 1pq3; it i:1 limited to thir~y boys born in this paris}l. The living is a rectory, valua 1 :woz. per ann~m~ iu th~ patronage of th~ bishop of Winche~ter. A free school for educ~ting, cl"thiug, aqd apprenticing sops of journeymen weavers, was founded and t!lldow~d by John Hqlloway, in l72;3; he al~o founded almshollses for si;x: blan~et weav~rs' ~idows; apd the same number were erected in 1828 by Mr. Town send qf ·London. Here are ahp a school with a small endowmen~ left by William Blake in the year 1693; a natiqn al school, and other charitable institutions. The parish of Witney is in the upion Qf the same name, and ~ontains the hamlets of Crawley, Curbridge, Hailey, and Lew: in allusion to the proximity of these villages, the natives repeat the following lines:- · "Hailey, Crawley, Curbridge and Coggs, )Yitney spinners, and Ducklington dogs." AsTHALL, on the river Windrush, 3 miles E. by S. from Burford, aud about 4! miles W. from Witney, containtld in 1831, 352 inhabitants, including tl1e township of Asthall Leigh ; and the annual value of !lSsessed property in 1815, was 2436l. The chur~h is dedicated to St. Nichola~ and the living is a vicarage, value 100[. per (lnnum, in the patron- ;J.ge pf Etorr College. .;'\sthall barrow is the mm;t considerable tumulus on the Akermap, street, a Rornan road which crosse11 the r~\·er at Asthall bridge. Th~ m~Inor house stand11 oear the church, and is now occupied by a farmer. .l\liNSTER LovEL, on the banks pf the Windru~l1, 3 miles W. by N. (rom Witney, contained 355 inhabitants in 1831; and the annufll value of assessed property in 1815, was 2597l. The church, dedicated to St }(enelm, is built in the form of & cross; in the south transept is an interesting ·monument of on~ of th~ Lovdl family, who is represented in complete a_n!lou~, app_arently _that of Edward ~V.'s reign. The hnng IS ~VIcarage m the patronage of Eton College~ hut pf its annuaT value no return has been made, The Church was given by Maude, wife of William Lovell, in the reign of John, to the abbey of St, Mary de I vry, in Normandy~ and became ~ cell af ~hilt monastery, and an alien priory of B~nedictine p10nks. Near the church are the remains of the apr ~ient baronial mansion of the lor4~ Lovel, cqmmonly qlled the Priory. · SwiNBnooK, 2 miles E. from ~urford, on the banks of the river Windrush, contained, in 1831, a popur blion of 222 persons; and the annual value of a8sessed property in 1815, was )583l. 'fhe church stands on a gentle acclivity, and is d~dicated to St. Mary! many of its architectural decqration~ are worthy of the 11.~tention of the antiquary; but the tower, at the west end of the nave, is of modern erection. Stalls wjth ~arved seats are presented in the chancel, which is the burial place of the Fettiplace family, to whom for several generations, are monuments, and sepulchral brasses: two of the monuments erected ii1 the 16th and 17th cel).turies are remarkable for their ~ingularity of design. H ugh Curwen, who exchanged the archbishopric of Dublin for the bbhopric of Oxford, died ~t Swiohrook in 1568, ~nd was buried in this church. The living is a curacy, value 57l. per annum, in the presentation of the chapter of Salisbury cathedral. The mansion at Swinbrqok, the •eat of thr Fettiplace family for at least four centuries, has been pulled down; they founded and endowed several charitable institutions, among which is the free school, built~ 17 ~ 6.

W oonsTocx, a borough and market town, on the river Glyme, a branch of the lsis, 62 miles from London, through High Wycombe and Oxford, and 8 miles N.W. from that city, contained in 1831 a population of I ,380 persons; and the annual value of assessed property in 1815 was 2,265l. It stands on an eminence, and consists of several streets, tl1e houses being chiefly built of stone. The corporation consists of a high steward, who is the Duke of M arl borough, a mayor, recorder, town clerk, four aldermen, and sixteen common councilmen. Sinae the RPform Act, W oodstock sends only one member to parliament, who is at present Henry Peyton, E~q. The town hall was erected about 1766, from designs by Sir Wiltium Chambe1·s, and under it is the market-place. Tuesday is market day, and fairs are held on February 6th, and April .'lth, for cheese, cattle, and sheep; Tuesday in Whitsun week for horses, hardware, &c.; August 2d for cherries, &c.; October 2d, a large fair for cheese ; Tuesday after November lst, for cattle, sheep, and cheese; DecPmber 17th, fer fat hogs and other cattle; and Tuesday after Candlemas day, a very large market for cattle. The trade of the town consists chiefly in gloves, the manufacture of which is carried on to a considerable extent, and cntlery. The church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, was chiefly rebuilt in 1785, on the site of a chantry founded by King John: on the south side, which is a portion of the ori~dnal structure, is a circular-headed Norman doorway. The living is a curacy with the rectory of Bladon, value 329/. per annum, in the presentation of the Duke of Marlborough. The free grammar school was founded and endowed by Richard Cornwall, a native of this town., in 1585; and almshouses were erected in 1793 by the Duchess of Marlborough, for six widows : here are also various charitable bequests. The parish of Woodstock is in the Union of the same name. The Anglo-Saxon monarchs had a royal palace at W oodstock; King Henry I. m11de the park, which Rouse the historian tells us was the first enclosed park in England; and in point of natural beauty and elegant embellishments, it still retains the priority. Henry II. resided chiefly at Woodstock, and had a bower erected among the woods, and concealed by means of a curiously contrived labyrinth, for his celebrated mistress, Fair Rosamond, so called for her surpassing beauty. She was the daughter of W alter Lord Clifford, of Clifford Castle in Herefordshire; and though reported by tradition to have been poisoned by Quepn Eleanor through jealousy, that was not the case, as she died a natural death in 1 177, and was buried in the church of Godstow Nunnery, near Oxford, where she had formerly resided: her monument was placed in the choir before the high altar, w ~lence it was removed by order of St. Hngh, Bishop of Lincoln, and she was aftewards buried in the Nuns' Chapter House. King Henry had two sons by her William Long84 !>pee, Earl of Salisbury, and Geofirey Plantagenet, Archbishop of York, and Lord Chancellor. Remain-s of Rosamond's Bower were to be seen in 1622. Edward, surnamed the Black Prince, eldest Eon of King Ed ward Ill., and Queen Philippa, was born at Woodstock in 1330, and is said to ha,·e resided for some time in the manor house of Old Wood~ stock, now belonging to Balliol College, which was a distinct building from the royal manor house or palace, the latter being situated nearly half a mile to the westward of it. On the site of the Prince's residence, is a large structure, apparently of the time of Queen Elizabeth. King Henry VII. added considerably to the buildings of the palace, and on the front of the principal gate was his name, with an English rhyme, importing that he was the founder; it was in a room in this gatehouse that princess, afterwards Queen Elizabeth, was imprisoned during her sister Mary's reign ; and the chamber ever after went by her name. The whole was pulled down in 1723, by Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. Contiguous to the town of Woodstock is Blenheim Park, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough; the mansion, a noble monument of national munificence, was erected from the designs of Sir John Vanburgh~ To perpetuate the memory of the military services of the illustrious J ohu Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, the royal manor of W oodstock, with the demesne, c"omprising the hundred of Wootton, was granted by Queen Anne to him and his heirs for ever, to be held by grand serjeanty; the terms of which tenure are, that annually the Duke, or his successors in title, shall present to the Queen, or her heirs, at the Castle of Windsor, a standard of France, on August 2d, which bv the -change of style now falls on the 13th, being the anniversary of the day on which the battle of Hochstet was fought, near the village of Blenheim, on the banks of the Dapube, in 1704, where a most glorious and complete victory was obtained over the French and Bavarians. This grant was confirmed by Act of Parliament, passerl on the 14th of March, 1705 ; and half a million of money was voted by the House of Commons for the completion of the palace, which took place in 1715. The general plan of the house consists of a grand centre edifice, connected by colonnades to two wings, which on the principal front form the three sides of a great court enclosed by iron pali· sades; the whole building being in extreme length 850 feet, and covering seven acres of ground.• The usual approach to this magnificent residence i~, by the triumphal gate at W oodstock; and the scene presented on entering the park from this gate is one of striking grandeur; the mansion being displayed to the greatest advantage. Sir John Vanburgh, in this, his best work, has succeeded in producing an architectural effect, every way worthy of the object upon which he was employed. The approach from the Ditchley gate to the grand front, is by an extensive avenue more than two miles in length. The garden front presents almost tbe same superb display of architectural grandeur with the carriage front; it extPnds 348 feet, in five divisions, and opens to a beautiful lawn, backed by scenery of the most appropriate description, where nature has been embellished with the utmost success. Near the eastern angle of the mansion is an observatcv-y, erected by the late Duke, and furnished with astronomical apparatus by Ramsden ; another corre~ponding observatory is at the western angle. The contrivance, uniformity, and grand effect of the whole official part of the arrang-ement, is the most admired portion .of the interior of the building; the stairs are many

WOODSTOCK. OXON. and ample; in short, the communications from ynd to every point are ready, free, and unembarra.d. The great ball entered from the portico on the principal front, rises to the height of 67 feet; the ceiling was painted by Sir James Thoruhill, and represents Victory pointing to a plan of the battle of Blenheim, and crowning the Duke of Marlborough, who is in Roman costume. Seyeral of the apartments are hung with tapestry, on which are delineated his principal victories; other~ are adorned with a large and valuable collection of pictures by the old masters; those in the Titian room were presented to John, Duke of Marlborough, by Victor Amadeus, King of Sardinia, and are painted on leather. The library, said to be one of the grandest rooms in Europe, occupies the entire of the south-west front 183 feet in length, and contains 17,000 volumes in various languages; over one of the chimney-pieces is a bust of Charles, Earl of Sunderland, the collector of the books ; and, at the upper end of the room is a marble statue of Queen Annr, in her coronation robes, by Rysbrach. Here are also several wholelength portraits, among which, are those of King William Ill.~ Queen Anne, John Duke of .Marlborough, Sarah his Duchess, &c. In the chapel, situated in the south-west wing, is the ·gigantic monument of the Duke of Marlborough, by Rysbrach, comprising colossal statues of the first Duke and Duchess, and their two sons, attended by Fame and History; on the base is a basso relievo representing the capture of the Marshal Tallard, at the battle of Blenheim: this monument is splendid, but is certainly too much out of proportion to the situation it occupies. His grace died at Windsor, on June 16th, 1722, and on August 9th ensuing, after lying in state at Marlborough house, his corpse was, with very great magnificence, interred in W estminster Abbey, whence, upon the death of his Duchess, it was afterwards removed to the vault under this chapel. The china gallery situated near the home lodge, was erected and adapted for the reception of the antique and curious specimens of porcelain, now deposited here, about 1796. The gardens are very extensive, and are laid O'Jt on a grand scale. Among the artificial ornaments is a fountain, copied from that erected by command of Pope Innocent X., in the Piazza Navona at Rome; river gods finely sculptured in white marble, representing the Danube, the Nile, La Plata, and the Ganges, the four principal rivers of the different quarters of the globe, with their classical attributes, form part of the decoration, and above these rises an obelisk. The lake covers a space of 250 acres, and has its banks most delightfully varied, so as to present an extended aquatic scene, not to be equalled in the kingdom. The bridge over it, forming part of the grand approach from the Ditchley gate, consists of one vast semicircular arch in the centre, 101 feet in diameter, springing from massive piers, besides two small arches; the abutments are curved and rusticated, and the line of parapet horizontal; the effect of this noble design is peculiarly appropriate and grand. The beautiful piece of water which it crosses, i8 principally formed by the river GlymP, which falls into the Evwlode, one of the branches of the lsis. The high lodge, once the residence of the whitty, but profligate Earl of Rochester, who was ranger of Woodstock Park, commands the most extensive prospect, being seated upon an eminence which gradually slopes to the water; and Rosamond's well is situated in the side of the hill, near the edge of the lake. Immediately in front of the mansion is the Column of Victory, 130 feet high, and surmounted by a colossal statue of the Duke of Marlborough : on the pedestal is an inscription of his principal achievements. The park consists of about 2700 acres, and contains a variety of plantations, interspersed with a considerable portion of venerable timber. The prospects are beautiful and numerous : in some directions Beckley Hill is seen over the woods at Witham ; in a fine open country, Ensham tower, backed by the distant White Horse hills; the spire of Handborough church, and the ancient tower of Bladon church, are interesting features in the ~andscape; also the lofty spire of Kidlington, and the distant hills of Buckinghamshire, among which Ashridge, the seat of the Countess of Bridgewater, may be discerned from the eminence on a clear day. CHARLTON UPON OnwoR, 5 miles S. from Bicester, contained 658 inhabitants in 1831; .and the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 1436l. The church is dedicated of St. Mary; the remains of the rood loft which separates the nave from the chancel, and was erected about the reign of Henry VI. is the richest specimen of the kind in this country. The living is a rectory in the patronage of Queen's College, Oxford, but of its value no return has been made. Fen cot and M urcot are hamlets of this parish. At Otmoor considerable Roman remains are continually found. Enslow bridge crosses the river Cherwell a short distance west of the Oxford canal, between Bleech- · ingdon and Glympton, on the road to Chipping Norton; and in the neighbourhood are Tackley Park, Blechingdon Park, Kirtlington Park, the seat of Sir George Dasbwood, Bart., and Blenheim, the magnificent mansion of the Duke of Marlborougb. HAMPTON GAY, on the river Cherwell, 3 miles E. from Woodstock, contained in 1831, 86 inhabitants; and the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 1336[. The chapel, dedicated to St. Giles, used as the parish church, was rebuilt in 1767, by the Rev. Thomas Hinde, who at his diseas;, which took place in the follo\\ ing year, left 20[. per annum for ever unto a minister of the Church of England, as by law established, to be appointed by the possessor of Hampton manor, who is now the Rev. William Wilson. The living is a curacy. The very fine old manor house was erected about the time of Queen Elizabeth. I SLIP, or Gyslepe, 5! miles N. from the city of Oxford, and 56 from London, is pleasantly situated on an elevation northward of the river Ray, near its confluence with the Cherwell, and over the former of these streams is a stone bridge. The population in 1831 consisted of 645 persons; and the annual value of assessed property in 1815 was 3,638[. A palace w~ts erected here by King Ethelred, in which his youngest son Edward the Confessor was born; who subsequently gave this manor to the abbots and monks of Westminster. The church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, and the chancel was rebuilt in 1680 by Dr. Robert South, who was Rector of !slip and Prebendary of Westminster; he also built and endowed a free school here in 1710. At the repara· tion of this church in 1824, some ancient paintings on plaster were discovered in the south aisle, executed about the year 1360, and representing the Nativity. The living, value 398l. per annum, is in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. J obn I slip, abbot of Westminster, in the reign of Henry VII. was born here.

The principle on which it was originally formed, and has always been conducted, is that of Nlutual Assurance, without Individual Lia6ility. Its legal privileges as a Eody Corporate exclude ~ inuividual responsibility or risk. There is no distinct Proprietary Body; every Person on whose ·,ife an Assurance is effected for One or more Shares becomes a Member of the Corporation, and ~rticipates in the JVhole of the Projit.r of the Society, which are distributed equally, Share for Share, unong the Representatives or Nominees of the deceased Members, without any {eference to the length of une during which the Policy may have been in force. No Commission is allowed to Agents; the Profit& are therefore the utmost the Premiums can afford. No Entrance Money is ~quired. A Bonus of £50 per Share. or 25 per Cent. on the Sum assured, i5 guaranteed to every Claim that rises by the death of a Member during the five years commencing with the 5th of April 1836. Assurances for terms of Years, or on joint lives or ~urvivorships, may be effected with the Society, either specified sums witnout participation iu the annual-profits, or for Shares with participation, at the option of the parties. Persons assured with this Society may traver to or from, or reside in any part of Europe, without paying n y additional prcmi:um . • Parties may arrange to pay their premiums either. by single payment by annual payments during the wholt' ontinuance of the Assurance, or by annual payments during a limited number of years only.

Bankers, iUESSils. WRIGIIl' & eo., Henrietta street, Covent garden . .Solicitor, '"ILLIAl\J WlTHAM, ESQ, 8, Gray's In11 ~quare. This Company proposes to avail itself of the valuable experience of the American Trust Companies. anrl to combine the administration of Trusts on the Guarantee of the CompJ.ny's Capital, with the business of Life .Assurance in all its branches. The Company will undertake the execution of every species of Trust; and the inducements which it holds out are, among others First: The impossibility oi loss, since the whole property must be made good out of the Cap1tal of the Company and its Members. Secondly: The diligent and fa;thful performanl!e of tl1e Trust. which will Le imured by the respons1bllily incurred, but still more by the corr.merc:ictl character and cred1t of the Company with the publi '. Thirdly: The avoiding of all dt!ay and expc:nse incideat to the appointment of new Trmtees under the existing system. In e\·ery respect a Company is preferable to an Individual for managing onerous bequests, because no irldividual, however competent or trustworthy, can pretend to the same perpetuity of exi~tence, nor ran the mme entire confidence be placed in any Individual that would he i'eposed in a Public Body, in whom, by vesting a trust every testator must lmow that his legatee;; will avoid those haz:1rds and inconveniences, those contingencies and annoyance~, a~ainst which no solitary executor, howevc:r honorable no 1wlated trustee, however wealthy-can offer an effectual _guarantee. Thus a parent by his will, or on his daughter's mnrriage, appointing this Company Trustees for his children anrl descendants, may be morally certain that the principle of th.:ir fortunes w1ll be forthcoming years. after he may he dead, and thJ.t all income will be duly applied or invested; there heing the guarantee, not of two or three Trustees or Executors, or possibly of one on I y, but of the Capital and Propel ty of the Company and its Members. The Company will undertake at the option of the settler, the due investment of funds according to any prescribed mode, or will guarantee a specific income and adopt its own mode ot investment, The Assurance Department holds out every advantage which experience alllllil;erality have imported into the modern Offices, together with the additional benefit of allowing the Assured a participation on equal terms with the Shareholders of the profits of the Trust Business. The Scales of Premiums for L1fe Iusurances and Deferred Annuities have been calculated on th9 most moderate terms compatable with safety. And in order to give every facility to the Assured of visiting Foreign countries, the extra premiums in such cases will not be arbitrarily imposed, but Tables will from t!ine to time be prepared, graduating, as far a~ pl'acticable, the risks according to the length of voyage, climate of the country to be visited, and othc1 circumstances. In ca~e of accidental furfeitur.e on non-payment of premium, if satisfactory explanation be grven within three calendar months, the Comp:my will renew the policy on payment of a moderate fine, without regard to the present health of the Assured. The Company are enabled to bold out peculiarly great advantages to its Stockholder and the Assured, b} reason of the comparatively high rate of interest which they are satisfied can be obtained by the invest men of funds. as well in Great Eritain as in het Colonies, on those unexceptionable securities, of which manf ol tlw established Companies are now precluded from availing themselves.

The Assured may (Table l) secure a precise sum at rates which challenge competition with. thostt of any otlur Company. 2. They may participate (Table II.) without the liability of partnership, or mutual guarantee, to the extent of four-fiths in the whole prufits of the Company, the largest proportion that any proprietary offil:e has hitherto divided~ and much more than can safely he given by any mere Mutual Assurance Society, where at least one third of the profits must be laid a'side to form a guaranteee fund. The first division of profits ( 1835), varied from 20 to 38 per cent on the Premiums paid, according to the age of tho Policies.

The peculiar advantages of the Endowments to FUTURE Children are the following:- 1st. For a comparati\'ely small payment, or annual premium, a fixed sum of money is thereby secured to each child at any given age, from 14 to 21. 2nd. The Society takes upon itself the risk of the numbers of such children, the premium being· the same, whether there be one child or many. ;3rd. The amount of each child's endowment is made payable to the parent or guardian, thereby securing to him a lawful and proper control over the application of the money. 4th. These endowments come in aid of the parent's means of educating and fitting out his children, at a perl.od when the demands upon him are usually the greatest. lith. Exi.;ting children may be made to participate in the beuefits of such endowments, by having their names inserted in the contracts. Separate Endowments are likewise granted to existing children, upon a returnable or non-returnable scale.

The Company purchases Redeemable Life Annuities and Reversions, secured on Landed Property or Money in the Funds, in sums from Two to Ten Thousand Pounds. ------------------ LIFE INSURANCE. The Directors recommend attention to the fact, that this Company has ne,·er deviated from tho!!e permanent principles on which it was originally established, guaranteed by a large real, and acces.<>ible, Capital. They are not unmindful of the different modes of Life lnsurance that have been adopted of late yeaNl, in order to attract the favour and attpntion of the pu hlic, on the principle of appropriating a share of future profits to all persons assured. Such Societies, howevet·, being as,;ociations for mutual benefit, arc necessarily attended with all the disadvantages of mutual risk aud liability incirlental to their formation; and however desirable it may be for individuals insuring their lives for the benefit of their own families, or immediate nominees, to speculate on the advantag·es of Mutual Assurance and Partnersh1p, those who effect Life Insurances in the capacity of Trustees, or otherwise, in the performance of a specific duty, for the consequences of which, they a1·e, or may hereafter be hPid re!lponsible, may find that an uncertain and indefinite engagement is not only unsuited, but repugnant, to the object they have in view As many Persons have b2en deterred from offering themselves for InsUI'ance, considering that on account of some Ailment or o1he1· peculiarity of Health or Constitution, their Lives would not be accepted, the Directors give notice, that they receive Propo!'a]s on Lives so affected, upon an unreserved and faithful statement of the particula!' circumstances of the case, and under the pr·ofessional advice of their Medical Office;·. Special Insurances of this Class, if appmved, will be subject to such Extra Premium as may appear to the Directors app01·tioned to the Risk to be undertaken by the Oflic~>. Policies for the whole term of Life, will be purchased oa term'l to be agreed on with the Parties interested should they be desirous at a future time of surrendering them to the Company-or a Loan may be obtained !hereon in proportion to the value of the Policy.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, tl1e Bonuses or Policies which bad been Seven Years in force at Christmas 1828 exceeded 1 per Cent. per Ann. upon the Sums insured, on an average of the different AgCR, and a second division of profit was made to Christmas 1835, when bonuses of nearly similar amounts were allotted among the assured. At each period of division the reversionary bonuses added to the several Policies averaged rather more than £8 per cent. on the amounts of Premiums paid tbereon during the preceding seven years.

This Society was established at the commencement of the year 1835, having been planned, not for any prin.te purpose, but with a view of extending the knowledge and diffusing the advantages of Life Assurance, upon the pure mutual principle. The benefit and security of this principle had heen long understood and appreciated by a limited portion of the community; but the increased demand for Life Al:'surance evidently called for its more general introduction. The Directors have accordingly endeavoured to arrange this mutual contract in ~uch a manner as should be fully calculated to combinE! security with economy, and which they submit is best accomplished by applying all the profits of the Society to the reduction of the annual premium. To attain this object a taule of premmms has been adopted appli~able to those who effect Assurances on their own lives for the whole Lrm thereof, and to continue in force until fi,re annual premiums shall have been paid ;-experi~nce showing that the subsequent payments will admit of a considerable annual reduction for the remaining term of life. To render that reduction as large as may be possible, every effort. of the Society is directed. It is however, contended, on the part of Assurance Companies established on the basis of a proprietary, wilh a subscribed capit<d, that the guarantee of such a body is necessary to the security of the Assured. This being the only point at issue between the l\1utual and the Proprietary Companies, some further exposition of the merits of the question may he useful, and it is to be recollected that the Public an:.l not the respective Companie~, are the parties chiefly interested; the question beiug, how an ir:dividual mlly most advantageously and desirably protect himself and family, in contracting for a reversion, payable on the contingency of his death. The experience of the Equitab~e and other Life Societils, founded on the mutual principle, fully establishe~ the sufficiency of the ordinary tabular rates of premium, not only to constitute an adequate fund for the payment in full of the sums as.<:urecl, but to produce a very large surplus for division amor.gst the Assured; and it is for those who set apa1t their funds for the assurance of their lives, to determine between the two classes of Offices; Offices which divert t~e whole or some part of the profits to a body of Proprietors, as the price of their guarantee, and Offices which appropriate the entire funds to tl1e use nf those u:ho contribute ther11. The calculations of the risk of hu~an life are founded on a great range ot experience, and the Directors of the METROPOLITAN LIFR AssURANCE SociF.T'Y look forward, with entire confidence, to the announcement to its Memher~ of a large abatement of the stipulatt>d premium upon the sixth and following annual paymen!J bcccming dnP. This expectation rtsts on the broad foundation of the experience of all the other establish~ Offices, and which, so far as time admit~, is !.'-anctioned by the actual accumulations of this Office. The rate of the abatement will be deduced from accurate data, the results of whiC'h will be stated anntlllllJ and laid before the Members in a clear and jntelligible form, placing b(!yond doubt the solidity of the Society, and at the same time, yielding to the Assured all the advantages to be derived from the ca1 eful and attentive management of their funds, no part of which is expended in commission to Agents or other parties introducing business. The Directors re~t their claim to public confidencP, in carrying out the leading principle of the Society, I'll the following grounds:- 1. Un the careful selection of the lives Assured. 2. The extent of the business of the Society. 3. The advantageous invc~lment of its accumulating funJs; 4. Economy of management. Having adopted the principle of mutuality as the basis of the Socie~y, they are desirous of supporting aod illustrating that principle to the utmost extent of the adv:mtage it tan he brought to afford to the Assured. They are not aware that any improvement can be made in the plan upon which they are acting for that p~· pose; and they trust to the merits of the Society tor the increase of its business, confining their efforts, in tbjS iast respect, to the sing le object of making the lnstitutioo more general! y known, under the persuasion that, in communicating a knowledge of its plan. they are performing an acceptable social service ; particularly as regards familie~ in the upper and middle classes of life. Tables of the rates may b~ had on applicat10n at the Office, where attendance is given from 10 to 4 daily, and where proposals of Assurances are received for any sum from £50 to £5000. A Court of DirectorS il held e\·ery Wednesday from 1 lo 2 o'clock; but Assurances may be effeded at any other tirm: ihequired. ~~ - ---
