The Prince appears as Hercules reposing after his perils, and
the Princess as Venus holding a flower, an emblem of hope
and affection. The caduceus in the hand of Cupid intimates
that love had eluded the vigilance of the guards and withdrawn
the Princess from captivity. James having returned
fiom Madrid, his marriage with the Princess Clementina was
confirmed at Borne, , 1719.

This medal was struck about the time of the marriage. The
proceedings of the Stuart family and their partisans were frequently
secret and mysterious. The letters e t . c . in the legend
on the reverse were consequently supposed to have some mys-

these letters. The common &c. (“ et cetera ”) was too obvious
and simple a solution for those who were desirous of discovering
some latent signification.

Sir Thomas Dereham, of Dereham Abbey, Norfolk, and son
of Sir Bichard Dereham, was educated in Tuscany under the
care of his father’s cousin, who was envoy at that court, and
who bequeathed to him his property and estates. He was
attached to the exiled family of the Stuarts, embraced the

He died unmarried at Borne, 16 Jan. 1789, aged sixty-five.
The reverse intimates that he relied upon his virtue, despising
