Furnival's Inn, Oct. 3. 1851.
[This saying has always been attributed to Talleyrand; and it is so clearly the remark of a clever politician, but lax moralist, that we have little doubt it has been very justly appropriated to that distinguished sayer of good things.]
Arbor Lowe, Stanton Moor, Ayre Family.
—Can any of your readers oblige me with information respecting the Druidical remains at Arbor Lowe and Stanton Moor, in the Peak of Derbyshire? I am unable to find any but meagre notices; and in one or two so-called histories of Derbyshire, they are only casually mentioned. Also any particulars concerning the old family of the Ayres, who formerly lived at Birchever, and whose house still stands in a very ruinous condition at the foot of the Routor Rocks?
I have heard that some very singular histories are connected with the family.

[Arbor Lowe and Stanton Moor will be found very fully described by that indefatigable Derbyshire antiquary Mr. Bateman, in his Vestiges of the Antiquities of Derbyshire, published in 1848.]
Bishop of Worcester "On the Sufferings of Christ."
—Who was the Bishop of Worcester about the year 1697? I have a book by him On the Sufferings of Christ, and it only states by Edward Bishop of Worcester. I presume it is Dr. Stillingfleet.
