Temple, July 5. 1851.
_Banks Family_ (Vol. iii., pp. 390. 458. 507. 524.).--I am obliged by
your inserting my note on this subject. I can inform L. H. that the
present owner of the lead mines in Keswick _is related_, though
distantly, to John Banks the philosopher, who was born at Grange in
Borrowdale. Can any of your correspondents give any reason why the crest
of this branch of the family should be exactly similar in every respect
to that of the Earl of Lonsdale?
