there are two splendid tombs to their memory in Kidderminster Abbey (see Nash's Worcestershire), and that they bore supporters-i. e. two otters proper. Sir John Grevile of Campden assumed the name, arms, and supporters of Cookesey.

SP. refers also to the arms of the family of Bosome or Bousome. He will find that a family of this name existed about 1700, and bore for arms Azure, three bolt arrows, points in base | argent. They were allied to the ancient house of Southcote of Southcote, co. Devon (see Heralds' College). C. G. H.

I thank SP. for his courteous communication, but I cannot "withdraw my plea for Bosom as untenable." The arms quartered by Throckmorton are Gules, three bird-bolts (not arrows) argent; and we learn from a better authority than Burke-viz. the Roll of Arms of temp. Edw. II. that such a coat with the colours reversed was borne by Sir Peres Bosoun.

The difference between an arrow and a bird-bolt is trifling, but SP. will find the charges correctly represented in the cut of the Throckmorton atchievement in the Visitation of Huntingdonshire, anno 1613, printed by the Camden Society, p. 123.

The Bosom coat was brought in by Olney Thomas Throckmorton, who died in 1472 and was buried at Fladbury in Worcestershire, having married Margaret, daughter and coheiress of Robert Olney of Weston, Bucks, by Goditha his wife, daughter and coheiress of William Bosom.

X. A.'s communication hardly deserves a reply. For very obvious reasons I pointed out that on p. 17 of the Memorials of Archer "Sir Walter Coke" was a misprint for Cokesey, and if X. A. will refer to that page he will find, "to his great astonishment," that I am not in error.

BACON OF "THE TIMES" (4th S. viii. 25.)— The gentleman in question is our very worthy Vice-Chancellor and Bankruptcy Judge. He was, at the period referred to, a personal friend of the editor, and a frequent contributor. JAMES GILBERT.

51, Hill Street, Peckham.

Mr. James Bacon, Chief Judge in Bankruptcy, appointed a Vice-Chancellor, in succession to Sir W. M. James, is the son of the late Mr. James Bacon of the Middle Temple, and was born in February, 1798. He was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn in May, 1827, and afterwards became a member of Lincoln's Inn, of which he is a Bencher. He received silk in 1846. In September, 1868, on the death of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, he was appointed Commissioner of Bankruptcy for the London district, and continued to hold that office till the end of last year, when he was raised to the Bench as Chief Judge in Bankruptcy, under the provisions of the Bank

ruptcy Act, 1869. Mr. Bacon married in 1827 Laura Frances, daughter of the late Mr. William Cook, of Clayhill, Enfield. By this lady (who died in 1859) he had three sons and a daughter. He received the honour of knighthood on January 14, 1871. One of his sons is Mr. Francis Henry Bacon, of the Home Circuit. J. Y.

SHEERWORT [misprinted STEERWORT] (4th S. vi. vii. passim; viii. 57.)-I hope the question about this plant is still open, notwithstanding the verdict of MR. BRITTEN that the plant I sent him was the Aubrietia deltoidea. For I cannot yet believe that my informant was mistaken. He is an intelligent old man, who has passed a long life in Dorsetshire. When I first questioned him about a plant called sheerwort, of which I myself had no knowledge, he said he knew it well, described it accurately, and told me that it was common in the above county, and eaten by the gypsies as salad. When afterwards I had a strong suspicion that the plant inquired for was the Arabis, or wallcress, I took a bit of that plant in blossom to my old friend, who, the moment he saw it, identified it as the plant called sheerwort in his county, and used as salad by the gypsies. The Aubrietia from the Levant is little likely to have become a common wild thing in Dorsetshire. I may mention that one name of the Hippuris is shear-grass, but I never heard of its being eaten as salad.

THE POOR IN FLANDERS (4th S. viii. 28.) — The celebrated Louis Vives, in a work written by him while in England at the request of the Flemish ambassador Van Praet, and published in 1526, proposed the suppression of mendicity and the intervention of public authority for the relief of the poor.

The magistrates of Ipres were the first to adopt Vives' views. In 1525 they drew up and issued a decree on the subject, which was, after five years' experience, printed and published at Antwerp in 1531, in a tract entitled De forma subventionis pauperum quæ apud Hyperos Flandrorum urbem viget, universæ Reipublicæ Christianæ longe utilissima, a copy of which very scarce pamphlet is in the Royal Library at Brussels.

Vives' treatise and the rules adopted by the magistrates of Ipres were attacked by several theologians, amongst others by the Franciscan brother John Roiaert and the Augustinian Villavicenza. In 1530 the magistrates of Ipres submitted their decree to the Sorbonne, which on January 16, 1531, gave an approbation of it. The Bishop of Therouanne and the Emperor also approved it, and the papal legate granted an indulgence to all those who contributed to the fund instituted for the purpose of aiding the poor.

Ghent and Bruges followed the example of Ipres, the one in 1534, the other in 1562. In this

last town some of the regular clergy were greatly opposed to the measures adopted, and Giles Wüts wrote a treatise in defence thereof, entitled De continendis et alendis domi pauperibus, et in ordinem redigendis validis mendicantibus, which is now very

scarce.

An analysis of the measures adopted at Ipres and elsewhere in the Low Countries, and an account of the controversy, will be found in A. Henne, Histoire du Règne de Charles Quint en Belgique, tome v. chapter xix. pp. 173-257.

"THE MISTLETOE BOUGH" (4th S. viii. 8.)The answer of JAYTEE to this query, although interesting, does not satisfy me. I believe JAYTEE will find that the song is founded on the melancholy story of "Ginevra," as told by Rogers in his Italy (see chap. xviii.) At all events, the circumstances mentioned in the song, as far as I recollect them (for I speak from memory), fit in more completely with that story than with JAYTEE'S narrative.

I may just add that some years since a picture on this subject appeared in one of the exhibitions of the Royal Academy, in which the young and beautiful bride is represented as just about to hide herself in that fatal chest which was to become her tomb. J. Y. Norwich.

EMBLEM OF THE LILY (4th S. viii. 47.)-A flower-pot with a lily in blossom is commonly introduced in representations of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The lily generally bears three flowers, emblematical of her virginal purity in her immaculate Conception, at her Annunciation, and at the birth of our Blessed Saviour in Bethlehem. The Annunciation was often sculptured over the porches of our old churches, the spandrils affording most convenient positions for the Blessed Virgin and the heavenly messenger. In these the flower-pot and lily was usually found. A remarkably fine and well-preserved example was discovered, some years ago, beneath a thick coating of plaster over the porch of the beautiful church at Great Witchingham, in Norfolk. In this the flower-pot with the lily stands before the Blessed Virgin on the left side, and the Archangel bending one knee salutes her on the right.

In the church at East Harling, Norfolk, the Annunciation appears in the east window-a most

beautiful and perfect representation of the subject; and the flower-pot is there, with a lily bearing the conventional three blossoms. The flower-pot with a lily was often represented alone, but always as emblematical of the purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. F. C. H.

On the south porch of Eye church, Suffolk, may be seen in stone the design of a lily in a vase. W. H. S.

I have seen this symbol in stone at Adlingfleet, Yorkshire; in glass at Poynings, Sussex; on a bell at St. Nicholas's, Newcastle-on-Tyne; and, I believe, also in other places which I cannot at this moment recall. I believe it is mentioned in all the ordinary manuals of symbolism. J. T. F.

THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND (4th S. viii. 52.)— I was a subscriber to the first number of Figaro in London, and I have in my possession a copy dated July 1834, in which is a sketch of the late Duke of Cumberland. He is drawn as a centaur, galloping wildly on, and looking round fiercely at something or other. Figaro at the time was edited by Gilbert Albert A'Beckett, afterwards editor of Punch. The artist was poor Seymour, who illustrated the first number of Pickwick (a rather strange coincidence that these two men should have been connected with the earliest numbers of the two most successful publications of the present age). The Duke of Cumberland was well known at the time by his wearing a very bushy grey moustache. A SUBSCRIBER FROM THE FIRST.

JOHN GLASSEL (4th S. viii. 46.)—Y. S. M. expresses himself somewhat loosely: difference of social rank does not necessarily imply difference of race. It is assumed by a section (a very improbable story) that the Highlanders are the descendants of the aborigines of the British Isles; by others, in better agreement with common sense, that they are the early Gothic races, by whom the native savages were displaced; and the Norwegians, who subjugated the Isles and remained in possession of these and of the mainland.

The ethnological varieties which Y. S. M. curiously denotes by "nobility, tradespeople, royalty," I apprehend are therefore somewhat imaginary. I hardly think there can be any ground for the statement that Mr. Glassel, of Long Niddry, was a coach-builder in London; which is doubtless one of the many idle rumours lately current in regard to the Argyle family, originating with the partisans of other members of the nobility who have not been so fortunate. There is, I believe, no doubt that the step-mother of the present duke was the widow of Dr. Monteith of Glasgow, whose husband had been physician to his grace's father. It is the glory of this kingdom that,

ENGLISH BIBLES temp. JAMES I. (4th S. vii. 534; viii. 51.)-As your correspondent MR. W. J. LOFTIE has been so good as to quote from my Description of the Great Bible, Cranmer's and Authorised Folios, I may remark that in that work the large authorised folios are described, but I can give him the dates of other editions than those he has quoted. Thus, besides the two editions of 1613 in 4to in black letter and in Roman type, there is a distinct edition, 1613-12, in Roman type; and of 4tos also, 1613-14-1614-15, 1616, with a copperplate and woodcut title-1619-1620, and more on to the end of the reign.

Of the small 8vos, there are 1612 and a variation edition-1613-1613-12, quite different from the preceding three editions, 1614; two editions 1615-1617, 1618, 1619, 1620, and others after this, and some 12mos. I have all these in my collection, and also the two large folios 1613 and 1617, and the smaller 1616. If your correspondent wishes more accurate information I shall be glad to hear from him. No bibliographer has attempted a list of editions of the Authorised Version that I know of. Lea Wilson gives in his catalogue thirteen editions after 1611, and including 1620. I have twenty-four editions as above, not including 12mos, and some variation editions. There are, no doubt, some other editions which I have not named. FRANCIS FRY. Cotham, Bristol.

LOTTERIES (4th S. viii. 27.)-The lottery drawn here on February 24, 1446 (1445 old style), is the earliest of which the scheme, list of prizes, and accounts are known to be in existence. These have been published by the learned archivist of this town, Mr. L. Gilliodts, and made the groundwork of a long but most interesting history of lotteries in the Low Countries from the thirteenth century down to their abolition. The documents published in this dissertation go far to prove that the modern lottery was first established at Bruges. Mr. Gilliodts' dissertation appeared in La Flandre, Bruges, 1867. Bruges.

gers of Glenburnie, by Mrs. Hamilton-a rustic story written for the purpose of pointing out and correcting the careless and slovenly habits too common sixty years ago among the peasantry— Mrs. M'Clarty, the mother of the family, is represented as saying, on every troublesome occasion of suggested improvement, that she "canna be fashed" to do it. No doubt domestic habits of cleanliness and tidiness are much improved since. the time of Mrs. Hamilton. JOHN MACRAY.

P.S. The Scottish word fashed is evidently derived from the French facher, to vex, &c. There are many French words current in the various dialects of the Scottish form of the English language-words adopted into the Scotch from the old intimacy and friendship between France and Scotland.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

My Summer in a Garden. By Charles Dudley Warner. With an Introduction by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. (Sampson Low.)

Gentle reader, do you love gardening? do you relish humour? If so, secure a copy of this little book. Never was horticulture or agriculture discoursed of more deftly or quaintly. Mr. Warner finds tongues in trees, and sermons in stones, and good wholesome teaching everywhere; and his book is just such an out-of-the-way intermingling of quiet humour and strange conceit as Charles Lamb might have perpetrated had he plied spade and hoe in his little patch of garden at Edmonton, and then jotted down for the delight and instruction of his readers the odd fancies and deep thoughts which his pleasant labour had suggested.

JOHN MILTON.-At the sale of the curious and valuable library of the late J. B. Inglis, Esq., a remarkable literary relic will be offered this day (Aug. 5.) It is thus described in the catalogue :

repur

"1588 Milton (John). Pindari Olympia, Pythia, Nemea, Isthmia, Græcè, Jo. Benedictus innumeris mendis gavit, metaphrasi recognita, latina paraphrasi addita, half russia. 4to, Salmurii, 1620. This most precious and estimable volume formerly belonged to the divine Milton. From a note on the title-page we learn that he purchased the volume Novemb. 15, 1629, pret. 9s., and at the end, the dates of the period he was occupied in reading it, viz. from June 17 to Sept. 28, 1630. The margins throughout bear his notes, many of them being very copious, and at the end he has added an Alphabetical Index, occupying two closely written pages, of all the authors cited (except Homer and Pindar), with references to the diftion, a work of immense perseverance, and which no one ferent places where they are mentioned in the annota

except with the greatest labour of love would have done. We cannot speak too highly of this book, nor can we conceive anything to be more esteemed or revered than this copy of the works of the prince of lyric poets annotated throughout by the author of the immortal 'Paradise Lost,' in his own handwriting."

CIVIL LIST PENSIONS.-The following is a List of all Pensions granted during the year ending June 20, 1871:

Gavin Milroy, Doctor of Medicine, in consideration of his medical services under government, and especially in the Crimea, and of the injury which he thereby professionally sustained, 1007. Mr. Denis Florence McCarthy, Barrister-at-Law, in consideration of his literary merit as a poet, 1007. Miss Agnes Strickland, in recognition of the merit displayed in her historical works, 1007. Mrs. Elizabeth Anster, in consideration of the literary services of her husband, the late John Anster, LL.D., 501. Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, Doctor of Laws, additional yearly pension to that of 1007. granted June 18, 1863, in recognition of his theological labours, and to enable him to complete his ecclesiastical works, 1001. Mr. Charles Tilston Beke, in consideration of his geographical researches, and especially of the value of his exploration in Abyssinia, 1007. John Stenhouse, Dr. of Laws, in consideration of his scientific attainments, and of the loss of his emoluments as non-resident Assayer of the Mint, 1007. Mrs. Emily Coles, widow of Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, in consideration of her husband's services as inventor of the Turret Ship system, 1507. Mr. Warwick Brookes, in consideration of his talent as an artist, 1007. Miss Winifrede Mary Wyse, in consideration of the diplomatic services of her uncle, Sir Thomas Wyse, and of her own limited circumstances, 1007. Sir Robert Stanford, Knight, in consideration of the losses which he has suffered in consequence of the assistance which he afforded to the government at the Cape of Good Hope in 1849, 1007. Mr. James Robinson Planché, Somerset Herald in the College of Arms, in recognition of his literary services, 1007. No exception can be taken to Mr. Gladstone's selection, but it is to be regretted that some other means cannot be found of rewarding diplomatic and official services without encroaching on the very limited sum applicable to the relief of deserving men of letters, arts, and science.

DEATH OF DEAN MANSEL.-St. Paul's has lost the last and not the least eminent of her Deans. The Very Rev. Henry Longueville Mansel, D.D., died suddenly on Sunday last. The deceased was appointed to the deanery by Mr. Disraeli on the death of the late Dean Milman. The publication of his "Bampton Lectures" in 1858, in which he discussed the limits of religious belief, created a great sensation, and provoked a controversy with Professor Maurice, and led to the publication next year of the" Examination of Maurice's Strictures," of which three editions were speedily exhausted, and large numbers of copies were sold in America and elsewhere - a work which was admired by the ablest Metaphysicians of Germany, and called forth much criticism in that country. His succeeding works were-"Metaphysics; or, the Philosophy of Consciousness," 1860; "Two Lectures on Smith's Lectures on History," 1861-62; "Witness of the Church to the Promise of Christ's Coming," 1864; and "Philosophy of the Conditioned," 1866; the latter work arousing a controversy with Mr. John Stuart Mill, with whom, as well as with Mr. Goldwin Smith, the late dean has held disputations. Dean Mansel was also co-editor, with Professor Veitch, of the late Sir W. Hamilton's works on logic and metaphysical science, and lately he had been working for The Speaker's Commentary on the Gospels according to St. Matthew and St. Mark."

DEATH OF WILLIAM PINKERTON.-Many of our old friends must have missed for some time from our pages, and missed with regret, the once familiar signature of WILLIAM PINKERTON. That silence was caused by illness-an illness which, we are grieved to say, terminated fatally on Sunday last. To those who remember how varied were the subjects which were treated by MR. PINKERTON, it is superfluous to state that he was a gentleman of wide and discursive reading; and if his

style was sometimes a little trenchant, it was a venial fault, springing as it did from his earnest love of truth, and a warmth of heart which endeared him to all who had the advantage of his friendship. MR. PINKERTON, who was born at Belfast on the 22nd of January, 1811, was an extensive contributor to many of our chief periodicals, as well as to the Ulster and Kilkenny Archæological Journals, the Anthropological Review, and the Book of Days-and he printed privately in 1870 a History of Hounslow Chapel, &c. He had for many years been engaged on a history of his native place, still in manuscript. His remains will be interred to-day (August 5) in the cemetery at Kensal Green.

PILLS.-LIVER COMPLAINTS

AND DISORDERS OF THE BOWELS.-Incautious diet, or heedless living as regards quality or quantity of food and beverage, or unavoidable exposure to changing temperatures, are ever present to undermine the constitution. It is impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary virtue of this medicine in the treatment of all affections of the liver, or irregularities of the bowels. For curing bowel complaints they should be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, though a more gentle aperient than these Pills in moderate doses has never yet been discovered. If taken according to the printed instructions, they conquer the complaint, and strengthen the system.
