School, and drew up the inscriptions
which have been engraven on the Mo-
nument in memory of the great fire of
London; these are alluded to by Pope,
not in a very complimentary strain, in
a verse remembered by every body ;
the writings of Dean Gale are numer-
ous, consisting chiefly of re-publica-
tions of classic authors, both Greek
and Latin, and of a collection of Eng-
lish historians, in two volumes folio,
entitled Historise Britannic® et Angli-
can® xx.; he died in 1702, leaving two
sons, Roger and Samuel; the former
published his father’s Comment on the
Itinerary of Antoninus ; his own Dis-
sertation on the Four Roman Roads in
Britain, is to be found in the 6th vo-
lume of Leland’s Itinerary: Samuel
was also an eminent antiquary, but
seems to have been content with col-
lecting without publishing.

antiquity than Hull, it being mentioned
in Domesday Book as one of the lord-
ships of Roger de Mortimer. The an-
cient church of St. Mary was pulled
down in 1761, and re-built with brick ;
