Dusseldorf, March 6.
_Denarius Philosophorum_ (Vol. iii., p. 168.).--Bishop Thornborough may
have been thus styled from his attachment to alchemy and chemistry. One of
his publications is thus entitled:
"Nihil, Aliquid, Omnia, in Gratiam eorum qui Artem Auriferam
Physico-chymicè et pie, profitentur." Oxon. 1621.
Another part of his monumental inscription is singular. On the north side
are, or were, these words and figures--"In uno, 2^o 3^a 4^r 10--non spirans
spero."
"He was," says Wood, "a great encourager of Bushall in his searches
after mines and minerals:"
and Richardson speaks of this prelate as--
"Rerum politicarum potius quam Theologicarum et artis Chemicæ peritia
Clarus."
