Inquisitor 1710

Clues to the ten 5 letter entries are of 2 sorts:
1. half contain a misprint
2. half contain a letter string to be removed before solving

33a Portraits of ancestors - series unveiled in Upper House? (5) ?E??E
36a Dressed like Shakespeare's Caesar, ultimately best in setting the standard (5)
30d Leaves thanks, cursed by anonymous afterthought (5) ???PS

36 Ultimately = last letters (though remembering a 'misprint'). It's an odd-looking word but in Chambers, it's the usual outfit for Caesar.

drat! i thought of that but thought it was a 6 letter word and didn't check....where does the O come from?

33 AERIR
30d ATAPS

...i see it now!

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry - AERIE

[ProfessorMaisie]

33 - remove the end of 'port[raits]' ('port' gives the left side of A[ncestors] before 'sERIEs').
30d has a misprint - the first letter in 'cursed'
