^{page xxii note a} He alleged that his father was an Italian lately come into England. The arms, Azure, a swan, argent, were from a vellum escocheon, painted in London, and taken from a seal, the colours being the painter's fancy; Sir Peter did not know what colours belonged to his coat; and the arms do not appear to have been allowed. In Harl. MS. 5802, Le Neve's “Knights' Pedigrees,” it is stated that Sir Peter was knighted at Windsor Castle, 19th June, 1687, and that he was a poor lad from Italy, and had been butler to Charles Torriano.

In Walpole's Anecdotes of Painters there is a notice of him, and it is stated that“among the Sidney Papers at Penshurst was a letter from Sir Robert Sidney to his lady, about 1597, desiring her to go to Mr. Garrats, and pay him for the picture of her and the children, so long done and unpaid.” In the last edition of Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers (1849), there is considerable doubt expressed as to the accuracy of these dates, but the writer was evidently not aware that there was another Mark Gerrard, the father of the one now in question, who was also an artist, and with whom he has confounded him.

^{page xxvi note b} On 19th Oct. 1661, there arrived for Nicholas Le F. 36 packs of instruments, drugs, and chemical materials, which were to be discharged at St. James, free from Customs. He did not, however, obtain his fees, and when he claimed them the Board of Green Cloth reported that there was but one apothecary allowed for the household, and the place was settled on John Jones. In March 166⅔ he obtained an order for a fee of 40l. a year, and in April 60l a year for board wages, 12l. a year for bouche of Court, and 4l. 19s. 6d. a month for fuel for laboratory; yet the salary was paid only to the preceding December, and on the settlement of the Household, only one apothecary being again allowed, no provision was made for Le Fevre. Again his arrears were paid, and in Feb. 1664 he was properly added to the Household.–Mrs. Green's Cal. Dom. S.P.O. Charles II.

^{page xxix note c} The tradition is, that he came into England In the reign of Mary to collect the Pope's dues or taxes. On Mary's death he became a Protestant, procured letters of naturalization, and pocketed the money he had received for the Pope. This story was perhaps invented by way of accounting for the pecuniary troubles of his descendants.
