_Longevity_ (Vol. viii., p. 442.).--MR. MURDOCH'S Query relative to
Margaret Patten reminds me of a print exhibited in the Dublin Exhibition,
which bore the following inscription:
"Mary Gore, born at Cottonwith in Yorkshire, A.D. 1582; lived upwards
of one hundred years in Ireland, and died in Dublin, aged 145 years.
This print was done from a picture _taken_ (the word is torn off) when
she was an hundred and forty-three. Vanluych _pinxit_, T. Chambers
