The Old Countess of Desmond (Vol. iv., passim.).
—Your several correspondents whose able remarks have excited much interest with regard to this very extraordinary individual, appear to have overlooked the fact that a cabinet portrait by Rembrandt is to be seen in the collection of the Marquess of Exeter at Burleigh; the age, costume, &c., corresponding exactly with the description given by Pennant, as quoted by A. B. R.

Pimlico (Vol. i., pp. 388. 474; Vol. ii., p. 13.)
—I find the two following mentions of Pimlico as a public place of entertainment:
1. In A Joviall Crew, or the Merry Beggars, by R. Brome: first acted, 1641, at Drury Lane, edit. 1708:
"To Pimblicoe we'll go,
Where merry we shall be,
With every man a can in 's hand
And a wench upon his knee.
