He was the son of Sir John Ernle,\nand could not but have some general knowledge of his grandmother's\nrelations.\"\n\nThis Mr. Ernle, afterwards knighted, died A.D. 1686.\n\nSir Arthur Hopton lived at Witham Friary, co. Somerset, and the heroine\nof this document was, according to the pedigree in Sir R. C. Hoare's\n_Monastic Remains of Witham_, &c., Rachel, daughter of Edmund Hall of\nGretford, co. Lincoln, Esq. The date of Sir Arthur's death is not there\ngiven, but he was made a K.B. in 1603.\n\n    C. W. B.\n\n  \"I will give you as good an account as I can remember of our wise\n  & good Grandmother Hopton, who I think was one Hall's daughter of\n  Devonshire without title, & had an elder brother, without child,\n  who said to his younger brother's wife, who was then with child,\n  if she would come to his house, & lie in, he would give his estate\n  to it if a daughter, & if a son it should fare never the worse: so\n  she had my grandmother, & he bred her up & married her to Sir\n  Arthur Hopton of Somerset: who had 4000 a year, & she as much.\n\n  \"By him she had 18 children; 10 daughters married; whose names\n  were: Lady Bacon, Lady Smith, Lady Morton, Lady Bannister, & Lady\n  Fettiplace; Bingham, Baskett, Cole, Thomas, & my Grandmother\n  Ernle; these daughters & their children have made a numerous\n  company of relations. The duke of Richmond & Lord Maynard married\n  our Aunt Bannister's daughters & heirs (one to Rogers, the other\n  to Bannister).[1] Fettiplace, which was also Lord Jones, his\n  daughter & heiress married Lord Lumley, now Scarbro.\n\n  [Footnote 1: (\"The Lady Bannister's first husband was Mr. Rogers,\n  of Brenson (_hodie_ Bryanston) near Blandford, in Dorsetshire: by\n  him she had the Dutchess of Richmond, who was heiress to him: she\n  had another daughter of Sir Robt. Bannister, who married Lord\n  Mainard.\"--_Added in another Version._)]\n\n  \"Cole's heir to Popham of Wilts: & Hungerford, & Warnford married\n  Jones, & some Mackworth, & Wyndham in Wales; some Morgan, &\n  Cammish, & Kern, with many others that I have forgot. The sons\n  were Mr Robt Hopton, Sir Thomas, Sir Arthur. Robt had one son,\n  w'ch was the Lord Hopton of great worth, who married the Lord\n  Lewen's widow, and had no child: so the estate went to the\n  daughters. But our Grandfather Hopton, having so good an estate,\n  thought he might live as high as he pleased, & not run out: but\n  one day he was going from home but c'd not, but told his Lady she\n  w'd be left in great trouble, for the great debts he had made on\n  his estate; & that he knew he should live but few days, & c'd not\n  die in peace, to think what affliction he should leave her in: so\n  she desired him to be no way concerned for his debts, for he owed\n  not a penny to any one. So he died of a gangrene in his toe in a\n  few days. Now she had set up an Iron-work, & paid all he owed,\n  unknown to him. And she married all her daughters to great\n  estates, & great families: her eldest, I think, to one Smith, who\n  was a younger son, & went factor to a merchant into Spain; he had\n  a very severe master & was very melancholy & walked one morning in\n  Spain intending to go & sell himself a galley-slave to the Turks:\n  but an old man met him, & asked him why he was so melancholy; bid\n  him cheer up himself, & not go about what he intended, for his\n  elder brother was dead, letters were coming to him to return home\n  to his estate; bid him consider & believe what he said, & that\n  when he went for England, the first house he entered, after this\n  landing, he would marry the gentleman's eldest daughter: which he\n  did. The Lady Hopton's way of living was very great: she had 100\n  in her family; all sorts of trades; and when good servants married\n  she kept the families, & bred them up to several trades. She rose\n  at six of the Clock herself: went to the Iron-work, & came in\n  about 9; went with all her family to prayers, & after dinner she &\n  her children & grand-children went to their several works with her\n  in the dining-room, where she spun the finest sheets that are.\n  Every year she had all her children & grandchildren met together\n  at her house; & before they went away, would know if any little or\n  great animosities were between any of them; if so, she would never\n  let them go, till they were reconciled.\"\n\n\nNOTES ON NEWSPAPERS--THE TIMES.\n\nThere were sold of _The Times_ of Tuesday, Feb. 10th, 1840, containing\nan account of the Royal nuptials, 30,000 copies, and the following\ncurious calculations were afterwards made respecting this publication.\nThe length of a column of _The Times_ is twenty-two inches. If every\ncopy of _The Times_ then printed could be cut into forty-eight single\ncolumns, and if those forty-eight columns were tacked to each other,\nthey would extend 494 miles and 1,593 yards. To give some idea of the\nextent of that distance, it may be sufficient to say that one of the\nwheels of the mail which runs from Falmouth to London, and again from\nLondon to Easingwold, a small town twelve miles beyond York, might run\nall the way on the letter-press so printed, except the last 167 yards.\nThe same extent of letter-press would reach from London to Paris, and\nback again from Paris to Canterbury, and a little further. The 30,000\npapers, if opened out and joined together, would cover a length of\ntwenty-two miles and 1,280 yards; or, in other words, would reach from\n_The Times_ office, in Printing-house Square, to the entrance hall in\nWindsor Castle, leaving a few yards for stair carpets. It is recorded\nthat 20,000 copies were in the hands of the newsmen at eight o'clock in\nthe morning. Since 1840, the circulation of _The Times_ has greatly\nincreased; and what was then deemed wonderful on an extraordinary\noccasion, is now exceeded daily by 8,000 copies--the present daily\ncirculation being about 38,000 copies, which are worked by greatly\nimproved machinery at the rate of between 8,000 to 10,000 per hour. On\nthe 2nd of last May, _The Times_ containing an account of the opening of\nthe Great Exhibition by the Queen, circulated to the enormous number of\n52,000 copies, the largest number ever known of one daily newspaper\npublication. Nothing can illustrate more forcibly than these statements\nthe great utility of the machinery employed in multiplying with so\nmiraculous a rapidity such an immense number of copies. When we look at\nthe great talent--the extensive arrangement--the vast amount of\ninformation on a variety of topics--the immense circulation--the\nrapidity with which it is thrown off, and the correctness of the details\nof _The Times_ paper--we are constrained to pronounce it the most\nmarvellous political journal the world has ever seen. What would our\nforefathers have said to this wonderful broadsheet, which conveys\ninformation of the world's movements to the teeming population of the\nUnited Kingdom, and also to the people of other and distant climes.\n\n    H.

Now as a particular one\n  is almost invariably sung by Negroes when they have anything to do\n  with or about a fire; whether it be while working at a New Orleans\n  fire-engine, or crowding wood into the furnaces of a steamboat;\n  whether they desire to make an extra racket at leaving, or evince\n  their joy at returning to a port, it may be worth recording; and\n  here it is:\n\n      \"'Fire on the quarter-deck,\n        Fire on the bow,\n      Fire on the gun-deck,\n        Fire down below!'\n\n  \"The last line is given by all hands with great vim (_sic_) and\n  volume; and as for the chorus itself, you will never meet or pass\n  a boat, you will never behold the departure or arrival of one, and\n  you will never witness a New Orleans fire, without hearing it.\"\n\nThe writer says nothing about the origin of this Negro melody, and\ntherefore he is, I presume, unaware of it. But many of your readers will\nat once recognise the spirited lines, which when once they are read in\nWalter Scott's _Pirate_, have somehow a strange pertinacity in ringing\nin one's ears, and creep into a nook of the memory, from which they ever\nand anon insist on emerging to the lips. The passage occurs at the end\nof the fifth chapter of the third volume, where the pirates recapture\ntheir runaway captain:--\n\n  \"They gained their boat in safety, and jumped into it, carrying\n  along with them Cleveland, to whom circumstances seemed to offer\n  no other refuge, and pushed off for their vessel, singing in\n  chorus to their oars an _old ditty_, of which the natives of\n  Kirkwall could only hear the first stanza:\n\n      \"'Thus said the Rover\n        To his gallant crew,\n      Up with the black flag,\n        Down with the blue!\n      Fire on the main-top,\n        Fire on the bow,\n      Fire on the gun-deck,\n        Fire down below!'\"\n\nSo run the lines in the original edition, but in the revised one of the\ncollected novels in forty-eight volumes, and in all the subsequent ones,\nthe first two stand thus:\n\n      \"Robin Rover\n        Said to his crew.\"\n\nThis alteration strikes one as anything but an improvement, and it has\nsuggested a doubt, which I beg to apply to the numerous and\nwell-informed body of your readers to solve. Are these lines the\nproduction of Walter Scott, as they are generally supposed to be; or are\nthey really the fragment of an old ditty? The alteration at the\ncommencement does not seem one that would have found favour in the eyes\nof an author, but rather the effect of a prompting of memory. I believe,\nindeed, the lines are inserted in the volume called _The Poetry of the\nAuthor of the Waverley Novels_ (which I saw some years ago, but cannot\nrefer to at this moment), but that is not decisive.\n\nThere is a case in point, which is worth quoting on its own account. In\n_Peveril of the Peak_, in the celebrated scene of the interview between\nBuckingham and Fenella, where Fenella leaps from the window, and\nBuckingham hesitates to follow, there is this passage:\n\n  \"From a neighbouring thicket of shrubs, amongst which his visitor\n  had disappeared, he heard her chant a verse of a comic song, then\n  much in fashion, concerning a despairing lover who had recourse to\n  a precipice.\n\n        \"'But when he came near,\n          Beholding how steep\n        The sides did appear,\n          And the bottom how deep;\n      Though his suit was rejected\n      He sadly reflected,\n        That a lover forsaken\n          A new love may get;\n        But a neck that's once broken\n          Can never be set.'\"\n\nThis verse, also, if I mistake not, appears in _The Poetry of the Author\nof Waverley_, and is certainly set down by almost every reader as the\nproduction of Sir Walter. But in the sixth volume of Anderson's _Poets\nof Great Britain_, at page 574. in the works of Walsh, occurs a song\ncalled \"The Despairing Lover,\" in which we are told that--\n\n      \"Distracted with care\n      For Phyllis the fair,\n      Since nothing could move her,\n      Poor Damon, her lover,\n      Resolves in despair\n      No longer to languish,\n      Nor bear so much anguish;\n      But, mad with his love,\n      To a precipice goes,\n      Where a leap from above\n      Would soon finish his woes.\n\n      \"When in rage he came there,\n        Beholding how steep\n      The sides did appear,\n        And the bottom how deep,\n      His torments projecting,\n      And sadly reflecting\n      That a lover forsaken,\"\n      &c. &c. &c.\n\nIn this instance it is shown that Sir Walter was not indebted for the\ncomic song to his wonderful genius, but to his stupendous memory; and it\nis just possible that it may be so in the other, in which case one would\nbe very glad to see the remainder of the \"old ditty.\"\n\n    T. W.\n\n\nMinor Queries.\n\n56. _Was Milton an Anglo-Saxon Scholar?_--I have long been very curious\nto know whether Milton was an Anglo-Saxon scholar. He compiled a\nhistory of the Saxon period: had he the power of access to the original\nsources? Is there any ground for supposing that he had read our Saxon\n_Paradise Lost_; I mean the immortal poetry of Caedmon? If he really knew\nnothing of this ancient relic, then it may well be said, that the poems\nof Caedmon and of Milton afford the most striking known example of\ncoincident poetic imagination.\n\nI should be extremely obliged to any of your learned correspondents who\nwould bring the faintest ray of evidence to bear upon this obscure\nquestion.\n\nThe similarity of the two poems has been noticed long ago, _e.g._ by Sir\nF. Palgrave in _The Archaeologia_, xxiv. I know not whether he was the\nfirst; I think Conybeare was beforehand with him.\n\n    J.

Is not Lord Mahon mistaken in supposing that\nthis saying refers to Lord Cowper? Should it not be \"Cupar Law,\" meaning\nthe town of that name?

Its endeavours at present are, I believe, confined to\nattempting to circulate the Roman Catholic versions, on the ground that\nit is impossible to circulate the more correct Protestant ones. My\nQueries are:--\n\n1. Was Mr. Borrow sent out by the Bible Society to circulate the\nProtestant Scriptures?\n\n2.

The marginal reference in\nHume is to Selden's _Titles of Honor_; and in that work the statue is\nthen given:\n\n  \"If a churle or a countryman so thrived that hee had fully five\n  hides of his owne land, a church, and a kitchen, a bel-house, a\n  borough-gate with a seate, and any distinct office in the king's\n  court, then was he henceforth of equall honour or dignitie with a\n  Thane.\"\n\nSelden considers that the _bel-house_ was the dining-hall to which the\nguests and family were summoned by the ringing of a bell. He thinks the\nword corresponds with _tinello_, _tinelo_, and _tinel_, the Italian,\nSpanish, and French words for a \"public hall\" or \"dining-room,\"--\"so\nnamed, because the _tin_ or tingling of a bell at the times of dinner or\nsupper in it were signified by it.\"\n\nI beg to ask whether the existing knowledge of the details of Saxon\narchitecture substantiates Selden's view; and whether this bell was also\nthe alarum-bell of the castle, hanging in an outside turret?\n\nMany thanks to my correspondent, and to \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" for the\nintroduction to his notice.\n\n    ALFRED GATTY.\n\n\nMinor Queries Answered.\n\n_Cycle of the Moon._--Can any of your correspondents inform me in what\nyear the new moon last fell on the _1st of January_? I am no astronomer,\nbut I believe the moon's cycles is a period of _nineteen years_, and\nthat whenever the new moon falls on the 1st January, the cycle begins.\n\n    BENBOW.\n\n  Birmingham.\n\n  [The above matter is made the more puzzling to all who are not\n  astronomers, by the pertinacity with which popular writers persist\n  in speaking of the moon's motions as if they were regular.\n\n  There is no particular beginning to the cycle of nineteen years:\n  anybody may make it begin when he pleases. What it means is this:\n  that in any set of nineteen years, the new and full moons\n  generally (not always) fall on the same days as in the preceding\n  nineteen years. For instance, in 1831, the 14th of March was a day\n  of new moon: go on nineteen years, that is, to the 14th of March,\n  1850; most probably, not certainly, this must be a day of new\n  moon. It happens, however, otherwise; for in 1850 the new moon is\n  on the 13th. But in the Aprils of both years, the new moons are on\n  the 12th; in the Junes, on the 10th. All that can be said is, that\n  where any day of any year is new moon, most probably _that day\n  nineteen years_ is new moon also, and certainly either the day\n  before or the day after. In that cycle of nineteen years, which is\n  called the cycle of the _golden number_, there is an arbitrary\n  beginning, which has something to do with the new moon falling\n  _near_ the 1st of January. The cycle in which we now are, began\n  (that is, had the year marked 1) in 1843.\n\n  To find the last time when the new moon fell on the 1st of January\n  with certainty, would be no easy problem for any but an\n  astronomer. The nearest which our correspondent can do is this.\n  Take Mr. De Morgan's recently published _Book of Almanacs_, and\n  turn to almanac 37. Take the day in question (Jan. 1), and from\n  the first of the Roman numbers written opposite (xxx.) subtract\n  one (xxix.). Look back into the new style index (p. 7.), then any\n  one year which has the epact 29 is very likely to have the new\n  moon on the 1st of January; epact 30 may also have it. Now, on\n  looking, we find that we are not in that period of the world's\n  existence at which epact 29 makes its appearance; no such thing\n  has occurred since 1699, nor will occur until 1900. We are then in\n  a period in which new moons on the 1st of January are\n  comparatively infrequent. Our best chance is when the epact is 30,\n  as in 1843: here there is a narrow miss of what we want, for it\n  was new moon on the day previous, as late as seven in the evening.\n\n  Our correspondent's notion that the moon's cycle begins with a new\n  moon on the 1st of January, is probably derived from this, that\n  the calendar is so contrived that for a very long period the years\n  which have 1 for their golden number, have a new moon _near_ the\n  1st of January, either on it, or within a day of it.]\n\n_Cocker's Arithmetic._--At a sale of books by Messrs. Puttick and\nSimpson, a copy of Cocker's _Arithmetic_ was sold for 8_l._ 10_s._, date\n1678, said to be one of the only two extant. It is stated Dr. Dibdin had\nnever seen any edition printed in the seventeenth century, and mentions\nthe thirty-second as the earliest he had met with. I have in my\npossession a copy bearing date 1694, seeming to be one of a further\nimpression of the first edition, as it gives no edition, but simply has\nin the title page:\n\n  \"This impression is corrected and amended with many additions\n  throughout the whole.\"\n\n  \"London: Printed by J.

W. CT.\nis not new, and is exceedingly plausible at first sight. Allow me,\nhowever, to direct the attention of your readers to the following reply\nto a similar defence, which I take from the _Sequel to Letters to M.\nGondon_, by Dr. Wordsworth, Canon of Westminster, pp. 10. 11.:\n\n  \"I would first beg leave to observe that my three reviewers, in\n  their zeal to speak for Cardinal Bellarmine, have not allowed him\n  to speak for himself. They seem not to have remembered that this\n  very passage was severely censured in his life-time, and that in\n  the _Review_ which _he_ wrote _of his own works_, by way of\n  explanation, he endeavoured to set up a defence for it, which is\n  _wholly at variance with their apologies_ for him. He says, 'When\n  I affirmed that, if the Pope commanded a vice or forbad a virtue,\n  the church would be bound to believe virtue to be evil and vice\n  good, I was speaking concerning _doubtful_ acts of virtue or vice;\n  for if he ordered a _manifest_ vice, or forbad a _manifest_\n  virtue, it would be necessary to say with St. Peter, We must obey\n  God rather than man.' Recognitio Librorum omnium Roberti\n  Bellarmini ab ipso edita, Ingolstad, 1608, p. 19. 'Ubi diximus\n  quod si Papa praeciperet vitium aut prohiberet virtutem, Ecclesia\n  teneretur credere virtutem esse malam et vitium esse bonum, locuti\n  sumus de actibus _dubiis_ virtutum aut vitiorum; nam si praeciperet\n  _manifestum_ vitium aut prohiberet _manifestam_ virtutem, dicendum\n  esset cum Petro _obedire oportet magis Deo quam hominibus_.'\n\n  \"This is his own defence; let it be received for what it is worth;\n  it differs entirely from that which the reviewers make for him.\"\n\nIt would occupy too much of your valuable space to insert the whole of\nDr. Wordsworth's observations, which, however, every one who is desirous\nof thoroughly investigating the subject, _ought_ to read and consider.\n\n    TYRO.\n\n  Dublin.\n\n\nTHE GOOKINS OF KENT.\n\n(Vol. i., pp. 385. 492.)\n\nIn the 1st volume of the _New England Historical and Genealogical\nRegister_, pp. 345., &c., and in subsequent volumes, an interesting\naccount, by J. W. Thornton, Esq., of Boston, may be found of the\n\"Gookins of America,\" who are descendants of Sir Vincent Gookin, Knt.,\nto whom your correspondents refer.\n\nMr. Thornton explains the omission of the descendants of Vincent and\nDaniel in the pedigree found in Berry's _Kent_, p. 113., and which is\nfrom the original visitation in Heralds' College, by the fact, that they\nprobably went to the co. Cork, and Daniel from thence to Virginia. He\ncites undoubted proof that Daniel arrived in Virginia in November, 1621,\nand was one of twenty-six patentees to whom, in 1620, King James granted\na patent of land in that colony, they having \"undertaken to transport\ngreat multitudes of persons and cattle to Virginia.\" In 1626 this Daniel\nis described in a deed as of \"Carygoline, in the county of Cork, within\nthe kingdom of Ireland, Esquire.\" In February 1630 a deed is recorded,\nmade by \"Daniel Gookin, of Newport Newes, Virginia, the younger,\nGentleman.\" Upon the records of the Court of James City, held Nov. 22,\n1642, Captain John Gookin is mentioned. Mr. Thornton infers that the\nelder Daniel returned to Ireland, and that Daniel the younger, and\nCaptain John Gookin, were his sons. During the religious troubles which\narose in Virginia, Daniel, junior, and Mary his wife, left for New\nEngland, where they arrived on May 10, 1644, and where he became, as he\nhad been, a person of considerable influence. He was promoted to the\nrank of Major-General in the colony, and died March 19, 1686-7, aet. 75.\nFor further mention of him, see Carlyle's _Letters and Speeches of\nOliver Cromwell_, Let. 143. and Note; Thurloe's _State Papers_, vol. iv.\npp. 6. 440. 449.; vol. v. p. 509.; vol. vi. p. 362. He is spoken of,\nsays Mr. Thornton, by an authority of the time, as a \"Kentish soldier.\"\nColonel Charles Gookin, whom Penn sent as a governor to his colony, is\ndescribed by the latter in a letter, dated London, Sept. 28, 1708, as\n\"of years and experience,\" \"and of what they call a good family, his\ngrandfather Sir Vincent Gookin having been an early great planter in\nIreland, in King James First's and the first Charles's days.\" Governor\nGookin assumed his duties in Pennsylvania in 1708, and was recalled in\n1717. He was never married.\n\nIn a letter dated Philadelphia, Nov. 28, 1709, Governor Gookin writes to\na grandson of Major-General Daniel Gookin, of New England: \"I assure you\nthat the account you gave me of that part of our family settled in\nAmerica was extremely satisfactory;\" and again, Nov. 22, 1710, to the\nsame he says: \"By a letter from Ireland I am informed two of our\nrelatives are lately dead, viz. Robert Gookin, son of my uncle Robert,\nand Augustine Gookin, eldest son of my uncle Charles.\" He subscribes\nhimself \"cousin,\" &c.\n\nFrom Mr. Thornton's account, and the remarks of your correspondent, I\nthink I may venture to deduce the following table:--\n\n                                         |\n             +---------------------------+------------------------+\n             |                                                    |\n      SIR VINCENT G., Kt.,                                     DANIEL,\n      Lived at Highfield                                       who went\n      House, Bitton,                                           to\n      Gloucester,                                              Virginia.\n      which he purchased                                       --married\n      in 1627,                                                   xv.\n      d. 1637, and bu.                                           |\n      at Bitton.                                                 |\n      --married JUDITH, dau. of xx.

Burraway, in Martham Church,\ncopied by your correspondent E. S. T., singular as it is, and startling\nas the story attached to it seems, is not without a parallel, for we\nhave a similar inscription on another _mysterious mother_ of the name of\nMarulla in ancient times, which is given by Boxhornius in his _Monumenta\nIllustrium Virorum et Elogia_, Amst. 1638, fol. 112. He appears to have\nfound it on a ruined sarcophagus at Rome, of which he has given\nrepresentation, and in his Index thus refers to it:\n\n  \"Hersilus cum Marulla, quae ei mater, soror, et sponsa fuit.\"\n\nYour correspondent has not mentioned the source of his explanation of\nthe enigma: I presume it is traditional. The ancient inscription, it\nwill be seen, solves it in the last two lines. The coincidence of these\ntwo inscriptions is not a little remarkable.\n\n      \"SENICAPRI QVICVMQVE SVBIS SACRARIA FAVNI\n      HAEC LEGE ROMANA VERBA NOTATA MANV.\n      HERSILVS HIC IACEO MECVM MARVLLA QVIESCIT\n      QVAE SOROR ET GENITRIX, QVAE MIHI SPONSA FVIT\n      VERA NEGAS, FRONTEMQVE TRAHIS: ENIYGMATA SPHYNGOS\n      CREDIS, SVNT PYTHIO VERA MAGIS TRIPODE.\n      ME PATER E NATA GENVIT, MIHI IVNGITVR ILLA,\n      SIC SOROR ET CONIVNCX, SIC FVIT ILLA PARENS.\"\n\nIn that entertaining volume _La Sylva Curiosa de Julian de Medrano,\nCavallero Navarro_, first printed in 1583, and reprinted at Paris in\n1608, a somewhat similar story is related, and the monumental\ninscription in French is given. Some of these stories must surely be\napocryphal.[2]\n\n  [Footnote 2: Stories of the same nature are told in the\n  _Heptameron of the Queen of Navarre, 3me Journee, Nouvelle 30e_,\n  where the scene is laid in Languedoc; and by Jeremy Taylor in his\n  _Ductor Dubitantium_, B. i. C. iii. Sect. 3., who cites Comitolus\n  as his authority: here the scene is laid in Venice. By others the\n  scene has been placed in London, and also in Scotland. Horace\n  Walpole's Postscript to his Tragedy will of course be known to\n  most of your readers.]\n\n  \"Passing through the Bourbonnese country I was told, that many\n  years since a young gentleman there had, by some fortuitous\n  accident, lain with his own mother, who became pregnant by him.\n  That some time after, a favourable opportunity offering, he went\n  to the wars, and was absent from his home some fourteen or fifteen\n  years. At the expiration of that time returning home, he found his\n  mother well stricken in years, who had a few days previous taken\n  into her service a handsome lass, who had been brought up from\n  infancy in the mountains of Auvergne. This young woman being of a\n  naturally affectionate disposition, seemed much attached to her\n  mistress, and relieved her of all her household cares, without\n  knowing how nearly they were related; for she was her daughter,\n  the fruit of the intercourse with her son, now master of the\n  house; notwithstanding there was no one in those parts that knew\n  it. The young man seeing her virtuous, graceful, and handsome,\n  became enamored of her, in so much that, although his relations\n  wished him to marry a rich wife, and all that his friends\n  endeavoured to divert his passion, and counselled him to bestow\n  his love elsewhere, it was all to no purpose, but, preferring her\n  to all others he had seen, he married her. They lived together\n  many years, had several children, and were buried in the same\n  tomb, without either of them having ever known that they were\n  father and daughter, brother and sister! until after a lapse of\n  time, a shepherd from Auvergne coming into the Bourbonnese\n  country, told the history to the inhabitants of the place where\n  this doubly incestuous couple lived. When I passed through the\n  country I was shown the spot where they dwelt, and the church\n  where they were interred; and a copy of the epitaph which was\n  placed upon their tomb was given me, which was as follows:\n\n      \"'Cy gist la fille, cy gist le pere,\n      Cy gist la soeur, cy gist le frere,\n      Cy gist la femme et le mary,\n      Et si n'y a que deux corps ici.'\"\n\n    S. W. SINGER.\n\n  Mickleham, July 28. 1851.\n\n\nTHE LATE MR. WILLIAM HONE.\n\n(Vol. iii., pp. 477. 508.; Vol. iv., p. 25.)\n\nHaving been acquainted with Mr. Hone, when a bookseller in the Strand\n(the firm, I think, was Hone and Bone), who published several catalogues\nof scarce works in poetry and the drama, I feel some interest in the\nquestion raised upon his religious principles. It was no doubt this\navocation which gave to Mr. Hone that extensive circle of information,\nwhich enabled him to conduct those amusing publications, _The Every-day\nBook_, _The Year Book_, and _The Table Book_. In what way my\nschoolfellow Charles Lamb became acquainted with Mr. Hone I know not;\nbut I frequently heard him speak of his misfortunes, and I was witness\nto his endeavours to relieve his difficulties, by requesting his\nacquaintance to visit the coffee-house which Mrs. Hone opened in\nGracechurch Street. I may communicate hereafter some information upon\nthe intimacy which existed between Charles Lamb and Mr. Hone; my present\nnote being confined to some more extensive and interesting pieces of\ninformation relative to Mr. Hone's conversion from infidelity to the\npure principles of Christianity, than are furnished by MR. WILLIAM\nBARTON. For this purpose I transcribe a letter of Mr. Hone's,\ndescriptive of his conversion, the cause which led to it, and his\nearnest desire to impress upon the public mind his sincerity in the\nchange which had taken place. A more touching picture of real\nconviction, and of a renewed state of mind, is not perhaps upon record,\nand cannot too extensively be made known. The letter appeared a few\nyears ago in the _Churchman's Penny Magazine_, vol. ii. p. 154., with\nthe initials \"T. H.\"\n\n  \"Dear Sir,\n\n  \"Your kindness towards me, and the desire you express of becoming\n  serviceable to me, require that I should be explicit as regards\n  the circumstances under which we met, a little time ago, and have\n  since conversed on. I think my statement should be in writing, and\n  hence this letter.\n\n  \"It has pleased the Almighty, to have dealings with me for several\n  years, until, by His Holy Spirit, I have been brought from\n  darkness to light; to know HIM, through faith in Christ; to rest\n  in His love, as in the cleft of a rock, safe from the storms and\n  afflictions of the world. To acquaint all who ever heard of my\n  name, with this mighty change of heart, has long been my desire;\n  and it seems to me, that I ought not to exercise my restored\n  faculties without tendering their first fruits as an humble\n  offering to the promotion of His cause, by testifying of His great\n  mercy. It has been my frequent and earnest prayer to God to enable\n  me to do this, as His doing; to seek nothing but honour to His\n  holy name, and in the fear of Him, and Him only, without regard to\n  the praise or dispraise of man--come from what quarter it may--to\n  have my soul possessed in patience; to wait and be still, as a\n  mere instrument in His hands, made willing in the day of His\n  power, to do His work. If it be His work, He will bless it: I pray\n  that it may be. Now, in this matter, and in this view of it,\n  self-seeking and personal gratification are out of the question.\n  The desire to engage in it is the most earnest wish of my heart;\n  but my heart was submitted to God, and in submission to Him, it\n  seeks to do His will, to do the will of my Saviour, as my Lord and\n  my God, who has done all things for me, and will do all things\n  well. I believe He has put the desire into my heart to do this\n  homage to His sovereignty, as a subject of His kingdom. To do it\n  has been the ruling purpose of my mind: as an instance of it, let\n  me mention, that I have been frequently asked by autograph\n  collectors to write something in their albums. For the last two\n  years I have done nothing in this way, till the 3rd of last month,\n  a lady having brought in her album the night before, I remembered\n  it was my birth-day, and wrote the following lines:\n\n      \"'The proudest heart that ever beat\n        Hath been subdued in me;\n      The wildest will that ever rose\n      To scorn Thy cause, and aid Thy foes,\n        Is quell'd, my God, by Thee.\n\n      \"'Thy will, and not my will, be done;\n        My heart be ever Thine:\n      Confessing Thee, the mighty Word,\n      My Saviour Christ, my God, my Lord,\n        Thy Cross shall be my sign.'\n\n  \"These lines, I thought, would be ill placed among contributions\n  of different import: I therefore wrote them at the end of my\n  Bible, and put some others, of a religious and kindly admonitory\n  tendency, in the lady's album. Not even in the albums can I write\n  without manifesting, that to please is less my object than to\n  acknowledge the goodness of God. Well, then, my dear Sir, in this\n  respect you may gather, in some degree, how it is with me, and how\n  God has wrought upon my mind, and operates upon it to the end I\n  speak of. When His hand struck me as for death, it was in a house\n  of prayer, and whilst being carried from the place in men's arms\n  as for dead, He lifted my heart to His throne of grace. During the\n  loneliness of what seemed to be my dying bed, and the discomfort\n  of my awful infirmity, and the ruin of my house, and family, and\n  property, He was with me, and comforted me; and hitherto He has\n  helped me, and I bless His holy name; my faith in Him is unshaken,\n  and He keeps me constantly to himself; and despite of worldly\n  affections, and nature's fear, I depend on Him and the workings of\n  His providence, that He will never leave me nor forsake me. It has\n  never entered my mind, even as a shadow, that I can do anything\n  for Him; but what He enables me to do, I will do to His glory. In\n  the dark seasons of the hidings of His face, I would wait on Him\n  who waited for me while I resisted the drawings of His love; and\n  when I sit in the light of His countenance, I would stand up and\n  magnify His name before the people. And now, that He has\n  wonderfully raised me up, after a long season of calamity, to the\n  power of using my pen, I pray that He may direct it to tell of His\n  mercy to me, and by what way He has brought me to acknowledge Him,\n  'the Lord our righteousness,' 'God blessed for ever,' at all\n  times, and in all places, where there may be need of it. I trust I\n  may never be ashamed to declare His Name; but readily exemplify,\n  by His help, the courage and obedience of a Christian man, and, as\n  a good soldier of Christ, fight the good fight with the sword of\n  the Spirit.\n\n  \"May God grant me grace to do His will, is my humble supplication.\n  I am,\n\n      \"Dear Sir,\n\n      \"Yours most sincerely,\n\n      \"WM. HONE.\"\n\nThe foregoing letter may perhaps be considered too pharasaical; but when\nis added to it the following note by Mr. Hone, relating the afflictions\nwhich had overtaken him, and well nigh overwhelmed him, it cannot appear\nsurprising that when he sought comfort and relief from where alone they\nare to be found, his heart overflowed with thankfulness and praise.\n\nI find the subjoined notice to his readers in Hone's _Table Book_, vol.\nii. p. 737.:--\n\n  \"Note.\n\n  \"Under severe affliction I cannot make up this sheet as I wish.\n  This day week my second son was brought home with his skull\n  fractured. To-day intelligence has arrived to me of the death of\n  my eldest son.\n\n  \"The necessity I have been under of submitting recently to a\n  surgical operation on myself, with a long summer of sickness to\n  every member of my family, and accumulated troubles of earlier\n  origin, and of another nature, have prevented me too often from\n  satisfying the wishes of readers, and the claims of\n  correspondents. I crave that they will be pleased to receive this\n  as a general apology, in lieu of particular notices, and in the\n  stead of promises to effect what I can no longer hope to\n  accomplish, and forbear to attempt.\n\n      \"WM. HONE.\n\n      \"December 12. 1827.\"\n\n    J. M. G.\n\n  Worcester.\n\nMr. Hone, whose friendship I enjoyed for some years, became toward the\nlatter part of his life a devout and humble Christian, and member of the\ndissenting church under the pastorate of the Rev. Thomas Binney, to\nwhich also several members of his family[3] belonged. Meeting him\naccidentally, about ten years since, in Great Bell Alley, London Wall,\nhe led me to a small bookshop, kept I think by one of his daughters, and\nshowed me part of a pamphlet he was then engaged upon, relative to _his\nown_ religious life and experience, as I understood him. This, I\nbelieve, has never appeared, though he published in 1841 _The early Life\nand Conversion of William Hone_, of Ripley[4], his father.\n\n  [Footnote 3: \"His wife, four daughters, and a son-in-law.\"]\n\n  [Footnote 4: London: T. Ward and Co. 8vo. pp. 48.]\n\nAt p. 46. of this interesting narrative, he subjoins an extract from a\nnew edition of Simpson's _Plea for Religion_, printed for Jackson and\nWalford, describing the happy change which had taken place in his own\nmind. To this account, written, as Mr. Hone says, \"by a very dear friend\nwho knows me intimately,\" he sets his affirmation; so that there can be\nno doubt of its accuracy.\n\nA Life of William Hone, by one who could treat it philosophically, would\nbe so deeply interesting, that I am surprised it has never been\nundertaken. \"The history of my three days' trials in Guildhall,\" says\nhe, \"may be dug out from the journals of the period: the history of my\nmind and heart, my scepticism, my atheism, and God's final dealings with\nme, remains to be written. If my life be prolonged a few months, the\nwork may appear in my lifetime.\" This was written June 3, 1841. Was any\nprogress, and what, made in it?\n\nWho so fit to \"gather up the fragments,\" as his late pastor, Mr. Binney,\nthe deeply thoughtful author of one of our best biographies extant, the\n_Life of Sir T. F. Buxton_?\n\n    DOUGLAS ALLPORT.\n\n  [The concluding words of our correspondent are calculated to\n  mislead our readers. _The Life_ of Sir T. F. Buxton is by his son;\n  whereas Mr. Binney's is merely a _sketch of his character_, with\n  that of other eminent individuals, published, we believe, in a\n  small pamphlet.]\n\n\nPLAIDS AND TARTANS.\n\n(Vol. iv., pp. 7. 77.)\n\nI can assure A LOWLANDER that the reviewer's story is quite true, it\nbeing gathered from Sir John Sinclair, who, in a letter to Mr.\nPinkerton, dated in May, 1796, says:\n\n  \"It is well known that the philibeg was invented by an Englishman\n  in Lochabar, about sixty years ago, who naturally thought his\n  workmen would be more active in that light petticoat than in the\n  belted plaid; and that it was more decent to wear it than to have\n  no clothing at all, which was the case with some of those employed\n  by him in cutting down the woods in Lochabar.\"--See Pinkerton's\n  _Correspondence_, vol. i. p. 404.\n\nI never understood that there was any presumed antiquity about the\nphilibeg or kilt. In the _Encyclopaedia Britannica_ it is described as a\n\"modern substitute\" for the lower part of the plaid.\n\nPresuming, that I have settled this point, I will pass to the original\nQuery of a JUROR, p. 7., still quoting Pinkerton:\n\n  \"There is very little doubt but that the 'Tartan' passed from\n  Flanders (whence all our articles came) to the Lowlands in the\n  fifteenth century, and thence to the Highlands. It is never\n  mentioned before the latter part of that century. It first occurs\n  in the accompts of James III., 1474, and seems to have passed from\n  England; for the 'rouge tartarin' in the statutes of the Order of\n  the Bath in the time of Edward IV. (apud Upton de Re Milit.) is\n  surely red tartan, or cloth with red stripes of various shades.\"\n\nAgain--\n\n  \"As to the plaid, there is no reason to believe it more ancient\n  than the philibeg. In the sixteenth century Fordun (lib. ii. cap.\n  9.) only mentions the Highland people as 'amictu deformis,' a term\n  conveying the idea of a vague savage dress of skins.\n\n  \"In the book of dress printed at Paris in 1562, the Highland chief\n  is in the Irish dress wearing a mantle. The woman is dressed in\n  sheep and deer skins. Lesley, in 1570, is the first who mentions\n  the modern Highland dress, but represents the tartan as even then\n  being exclusively confined to the use of people of rank.\n\n  \"Buchanan, 1580, mentions the plaids, but says they are _brown_;\n  even as late as 1715 the remote Highlanders were only clothed in a\n  long coat buttoned down to the mid-leg; this information was\n  derived from the minister of Mulmearn (father of the Professor\n  Ferguson), who said 'that those Highlanders who joined the\n  Pretender from the most remote parts, were not dressed in\n  party-coloured tartans, and had neither plaid nor philibeg.'\"\n\nSo much for the assumed antiquity of the Scottish national costume. More\ninteresting matter on this subject will be found in Pinkerton's\n_Correspondence_, vol. i. pp. 404-410.\n\n    BLOWEN.\n\n\nTHE CAXTON MEMORIAL.\n\n(Vol. iv., pp. 33. 69.)\n\nWhatever be the fate of _The Caxton Memorial_, as suggested by myself,\nthe proposition is clear of interested motives. I neither aspire to the\nhonours of a patron, nor to the honours of editorship. To revive the\nmemory of the man, and to illustrate the literature of the period, are\nmy sole objects.\n\nI have to thank MR. BOTFIELD for his polite information. I was aware of\nthe meeting of the 9th of July 1849, but not aware that the proposal of\na _statue of Caxton_ had been entertained at so early a date. The\nproceedings of the meeting, as reported in _The Times_, were confined to\nthe question of subscriptions: on the statue question there is not the\nslightest hint.\n\nThe advocacy of a _fictitious statue_ by so eminent an antiquary as MR.\nBOTFIELD, and the assurance which he gives that this object has been\nunder consideration for at least two years, make it the more imperative\non me to state my objections to it; and this I shall do with reference\nto his own arguments.\n\nA maxim of the illustrious sir William Jones very apposite to the point\nin dispute, has floated in my memory from early life. It is this: \"The\nbest monument that can be erected to a man of literary talents is a good\nedition of his works.\" Such a man was William Caxton; and on this\nprinciple I would proceed. He would then owe the extension of his fame\nto the admirable art which he so successfully practised.\n\nIn the opinion of MR. BOTFIELD, the expense attendant on my project\nwould be \"fatal to its success.\" Now, as the Shakespeare Society prints\nat the rate of four volumes for a subscription of 1_l._, the committee\nof the _Caxton Memorial_ could surely produce one volume for 10_s._\n6_d._ I should not advise any attempt at splendour. Paper such as Caxton\nwould have chosen, a clear type, and extreme accuracy of text, are more\nimportant objects. Competent editors would soon offer their services;\nand, proud to have their names associated with so desirable an\nenterprise, would perform their parts with correspondent care and\nability. Besides, it is easier to collect subscriptions, when you can\npromise a substantial return.\n\nTo the other objections of MR. BOTFIELD, I shall reply more briefly. The\nbiography of Caxton by Lewis is a very _scarce_ book; and, in the\nopinion of Dibdin, \"among the dullest of all biographical memoirs.\" As\nto that by MR. KNIGHT, only one fourth part of it relates to Caxton. In\nthe _Typographical antiquities_ we certainly have \"copious extracts from\nhis works;\" but they are mixed up with much superfluity of disquisition.\nWhether such a memorial would be \"hidden in a bookcase,\" must depend on\nthe taste of the possessor. It would be _accessible_ in the four\nquarters of the globe--which is as much as can be said of other books,\nand more than can be said of a statue.\n\nI cannot admit the propriety of viewing Caxton as a mere printer. By\ncontinental writers he is more correctly appreciated. M. de la Serna\ncalls him \"homme de lettres, artiste renomme,\" etc.; and M. Suard\nobserves, \"dans presque tous les ouvrages imprimes par lui, il a insere\nquelques lignes qui toujours attestent la purete des intentions dont il\netait anime.\"\n\nThe advocates of a _fictitious statue_ of Caxton have been apprized of\nmy intention, and if certain estimable antiquaries should prove to be of\nthe number, they must consider my opposition as the consequence of\ngeneral principles.\n\nIt should be the object of antiquaries to illustrate \"the _history_ of\nformer times\"--as we read in a royal charter--not to substitute fiction\nfor history. Now, it is admitted by MR. BOTFIELD that there is \"no\nauthentic portrait of Caxton.\" How then, he must allow me to ask, can it\nbe assumed that the _picture by Maclise is truthful_? It may be much\notherwise. Modern artists are no guides for antiquaries.\n\nIt is with statues as it is with medals. The first and most obvious use\nof them, as Addison remarks of the latter objects, is \"the showing us\nthe _faces_\" of eminent persons. Even Horace Walpole, who has misled so\nmany with regard to Caxton, has expressed himself very forcibly on the\nvalue of _real_ portraits. If a statue fail in that particular, it is\nworthless; and should my own project find no favour with the public--a\nfountain by day--or, a light by night--or, an inscribed obelisk--or,\neven an inscribed tablet--would be far preferable as a monument.\n\nIf the dean of St. Paul's should resolve to place in other hands the sum\nwhich has been collected for this purpose, he may justly insist on the\nproper application of it; and as the Society of Arts may be induced to\ntake charge of it, I must remind them of the circumstance under which\nthe subscriptions were formerly obtained. It was assumed that a likeness\nof Caxton had been preserved. I transcribe from _The Times_:--\n\n  \"The meeting, [12 June, 1847] appeared to have been gratified with\n  what they had seen and heard, and he [lord Morpeth] had only now\n  to say to them, and to their fellow-countrymen in every part of\n  the world, 'Subscribe.' (Applause.)\n\n  \"A miniature portrait of Caxton, painted upon enamel by Mr. Bone,\n  was handed to lord Morpeth, who stated that it had been copied\n  from a likeness of Caxton, in an old illuminated MS.\"\n\nHis lordship was misinformed as to the authenticity of the portrait, it\nbeing copied from the Lambeth Ms.--but that circumstance does not affect\nthe argument.\n\nIt is manifest, therefore, that a _fictitious statue_ of Caxton,\nobjectionable as it would be on other accounts, would also be very like\na breach of faith with the original subscribers.\n\n    BOLTON CORNEY.\n\n\nLADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.\n\n(Vol. iii., pp. 443. 522.; Vol. iv., p. 44.)\n\n  [MR. E. P. RICHARDS presents his compliments to the Editor of\n  \"NOTES AND QUERIES,\" and will thank him to insert the\n  accompanying statement by the Marchioness of Bute, in respect to\n  the lines said to have been written by her sister, Lady Flora\n  Hastings, in the next number of his paper.\n\n  Cardiff, Aug. 5. 1851.]\n\nA friend has copied and sent to me a passage in the paper named \"NOTES\nAND QUERIES,\" of Saturday, July 19. 1851, No. 90. page 44.\n\nThe passage refers to my sister, Lady Flora Hastings, and a poem\nascribed to her. If it were a matter solely of literary nature, I should\nnot have interfered; considering the point in debate may not be\ninteresting to a very extended circle of persons. But I feel it is a\nduty not to allow an undeserved imputation to rest on any one,\nespecially on one styled a \"Christian lady.\" Probably no person but\nmyself can place the debated question beyond doubt. I do not know who\nthe \"Christian lady\" or who ERZA may be; but the lines entitled \"Lady\nFlora Hastings' Bequest\" are not by Lady Flora Hastings. She solemnly\nbequeathed _all_ her papers and manuscripts to me, and those verses are\nnot amongst them; else they should have been included in the volume of\nher poems which I published. Moreover, Lady Flora Hastings never parted\nwith her Bible till, by my brother's desire, I had warned her on the\nauthority of the physicians that _any_ hour might close her existence on\nearth. She was then unable to read it to herself. It was to _me_ (not to\nmy brother, as stated by CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH) that she confided the book\nand the message for our mother; and when she did so, she was too weak in\nbody to have committed the simple words of the message to paper. I was\nwith her night and day for many days before she gave the gift and\nmessage to my care, and she died in my arms. She could not have composed\nany verses, or written a word, or dictated a sentence, without my\nknowledge, for more than a week before she died.\n\n    S. F. C.

We have in the\nlatter part of that chapter the account of a covenant entered into\nbetween Jacob and Laban, and we are there told that a pillar was erected\nas a witness between them of this covenant; Jacob calling it Galeed,\nalso Mizpah. May not the inscription on the board be a token of some\ncovenant of the same kind; and may it not have been placed on a pillar,\nor on some conspicuous place on the exterior of the house, or over the\nmantel in some room of the house (this latter being suggested in the\narticle describing the board)? If I am correct, the name of the person\nwho did \"indite\" the inscription should be one which, if not spelt\nexactly like Galeed or Mizpah, would in sound resemble the one or the\nother.\n\n    H.

It is\ndated from the Pavilion, Brighton, on the 15th of the preceding month.\n\nThe Committee, in their Parliamentary Report, state that the king had\naccompanied his munificent _donation_ of this library to the public,\n\"with the _gift_ of a valuable selection of coins and medals;\" and they\nclose their Report in the following words:\n\n  \"The Committee would not do justice to the sentiments with which\n  they are affected, if they failed to express in the strongest\n  terms the gratitude they feel, in common with the nation, _for the\n  act of munificent liberality_ which has brought this subject under\n  their consideration, and for the disposition which is so strongly\n  evinced by that act, on the part of his Majesty, of promoting, by\n  the best means, the science and literature of the country.\"\n\nWould all this have been said, if the value of the library, in \"pounds\nsterling\" was, as has been alleged, to be made good by the country to\nits late owner?\n\nWhen urging that this library, containing about 65,000 volumes, might\nhave been preserved at Whitehall, or in some other part of Westminster,\nas a _distinct_ collection, it may be stated, that on its removal to the\nMuseum, 21,000 duplicates were found in the united libraries, but that\n\"it was not considered advisable _to part with more_ than 12,000; which\nshould be taken from books in the Museum.\" Why should not the Museum\nhave _retained_ its duplicates, leaving those in the royal library for\nthe benefit of readers in another part of the metropolis?

What, then, is an efficient proof? I reply,\nfirst strike the flat side of the blade on an iron table (by means of a\nmachine) with a force of 300 to 400 lbs., and then on the edge and back\nover a round piece of hard wood with a force of 400 to 500 lbs.: after\nwhich thrust the point as hard as possible against a thick iron plate\nand through a cuirass, without turning or breaking it, and bend so as to\nreduce the length in the proportion of about one inch and a half to a\nfoot. When thus proved, a sword may be relied on, and the operation may\nbe seen every day at 27. Pall Mall.\n\n    HENRY WILKINSON.\n\n_Dr. Young's \"Narcissa\"_ (Vol. iv., p. 22.).--In reply to W. F.

He speaks of the 14th volume half\nprinted off, and asks for information which may assist him in completing\nit; and then announces that highly desirable addition, viz. an Index,\nwhich is to form the 17th volume; but of the projected contents of vols.\nxv. and xvi., he says nothing.[5]\n\n  [Footnote 5: Vols. xv. and xvi., consisting of Letters to and from\n  Archbishop Ussher, were published early in 1849.]\n\nIn spite of Dr. Elrington's rejection of the _Body of Divinity_ (which\nis doubtless what DR. TODD refers to under the name of the _System of\nTheology_), I would still venture to plead for at least an uniform\nedition of it; for there is surely much force in the testimony of Dr. N.\nBernard (as quoted by Mr. Goode), that, whilst the Archbishop was\n\"indeed displeased at the publishing of it, without his knowledge, but\nhearing of some good fruit which hath been reaped by it, he hath\n_permitted it_.\"\n\n  \"Several other editions, therefore,\" (Mr. Goode adds) \"were\n  published in his lifetime; and being thus published with his\n  _permission_, must of course be considered as in all important\n  points of doctrine representing his views.\"--_Effects of Infant\n  Baptism_, pp. 312, 313.\n\nPossibly some of your correspondents might be able to throw light on\nthis point.\n\nIt will scarcely be travelling out of the record to entreat that the\nIndex may be printed on anything but the dazzling milled paper, which\neverybody I should think must detest.\n\n    C. W. B.\n\n_Was Stella Swift's Sister?_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--J. H. S. will find\nthis question raised in the _The closing Years of Dean Swift's Life_, by\nW. R. Wilde, M.R.I.A.:--\n\n  \"That Stella was the daughter of Sir Wm. Temple appears more than\n  probable; but that Swift was his son, and consequently her half\n  brother, remains to be proved. It has, it is true, been often\n  surmised, from the date of Orrery's book to the present time, but\n  we cannot discover in the supposition anything but vague\n  conjecture.\"\n\nMr. Wilde, however, proceeds to quote in favour of the opinion from an\narticle in _The Gentleman's and London Magazine_, pp. 555. to 560.,\nDublin. Printed for John Exshaw, Nov. 1757.\n\nIt is signed _C. M. P. G. N. S. T. N. S._\n\n    [Dagger Symbol]\n\n_The Mistletoe_ (Vol. ii., pp. 163. 214.).--The mistletoe is common on\nalmost every tree of our Southern forests; it is abundant on all the\nvarieties of the oak, and grows most luxuriously on the trees near our\nwatercourses. I have seen some of our deciduous trees looking almost as\ngreen in winter as when clothed in their own foliage in summer, in\nconsequence of the quantity of mistletoe growing upon them.\n\n    H. H.

MS. No.\n1550., fo. 60. b.\n\nThe following notice of some supposed descendants of the ancient family\nof Kyme, is given in Thompson's _History of Boston_, 4to. Lond. 1820,\npp. 173. to 176.:\n\n  \"Richmond Rochford, or Kyme Tower.\n\n  \"At what time this estate passed from the Kyme family has not been\n  ascertained: it fell into the hands of the crown by sequestration,\n  in consequence of some political transgression of its owner, and\n  is now the property of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The\n  descendants of the ancient owners, however, continued to occupy\n  the estate as tenants, until 1816.[6]\n\n    [Footnote 6: Adlard Kyme was tenant 1709.]\n\n  \"The tower is situated about two miles east of Boston.... An old\n  house adjoining the Tower was taken down a few years since: in\n  this house were several old portraits, said to be of the Kyme\n  family: there were also three coats of arms, with different\n  bearings, but with this same motto: 'In cruce nostra salus.'\"\n\nIf BOLD will communicate his address to the editor of \"NOTES AND\nQUERIES,\" I will with much pleasure forward to him some further\ninformation respecting the descendants of the Kymes of Kyme Tower.\n\n    LLEWELLYN.\n\n_The Leman Baronetcy_ (Vol. iv., p. 58.).--In answer to your\ncorrespondent H.
