_Jeremy Taylor and Christopher Lord Hatton._--Bishop Jeremy Taylor, in his

dedication of the _Great Exemplar_ to Christopher Lord Hatton, entreats his

lordship to "account him in the number of his relatives." Was Jeremy Taylor

in any way connected with Lord Hatton by marriage? His first wife was a

Mrs. Joanna Bridges of Mandinam, in the parish of Languedor, co.

Carmarthen, and supposed to be a natural daughter of Charles I., to whom

she bore a striking resemblance. Do any of your readers know of any

relationship between this lady and Lord Hatton, or any other circumstance

likely to account for the passage above mentioned?
