At p. 162. of a curious catalogue of books published in 1850 by the well-known antiquarian bookseller, Mr. Stevenson of Edinburgh, I find the following:

"Captain Walter Scot's True History of the Families of the Name of Scot and Elliot, in the Shires of Roxburgh and Selkirk, gathered out of Ancient Chronicles, Histories, and Traditions of our Fathers. Quarto, 1688: Reprint, 1766."

I am sorry that I cannot answer the other part of SIGMA'S Query as to the reason why the Captain was called "Old Satchells." E. N.

Exterior Stoups (Vol. vi., p. 19.).—I think your correspondent who stated that there was an exterior holy-water stoup at Winchester Cathedral must have made only a cursory examination, and have mistaken for stoups two projections from the south wall of the nave. These, however, are about six feet from the ground, and would be completely out of the reach of those forming a large part of a Catholic congregation, namely, females. They are, moreover, perfectly flat on their upper surface. They are placed on the right side, on entering, of two doors, one of which is at the angle formed by the nave with the south transept, the other midway between the transept and the west front. There is no other projection at all resembling a stoup on the exterior of the building that I can discover. HOLDE FASTE FAYTHE.

In answer to CUTHBERT BEDE's inquiry (Vol. v., p. 560.), I have much pleasure in pointing out to him a solitary example in this county of a holywater stoup on the exterior of the south wall of the south porch at Hungarton. It grows out, as it were, of the basement moulding, and has a canopy over it. The porch is itself a beautiful

Pickigni (Vol. vi., p. 75.).—In the Dictionary of T. B. (Blount), published in London, 1670, is the following notice of Pichigni :

"PICKIGNI (Fr.), by the pronunciation of this word in France, aliens were discerned from the native French: as Shibboleth among the Hebrews (Judges xii. 6.). So likewise (in Sands his Travels, fol. 239.) you may read how the Genoese were distinguished from the Venetians by naming a sheep. And in our own history, the Flemings (in Wat Tyler's Rebellion) were distinguished from English by pronouncing bread and cheese, &c."-Stow's Survey, fol. 51.

Cowdray Family (Vol. vi., p. 75.).—In answer to W. H. L. I beg to state, that a family named Cowdery resided some twenty-five years ago at Godstone in Surrey. Some of the females of the family are still resident there, and represent themselves as having been in former times in much higher circumstances. The head of the family whom I remember there was a brush-maker in the Strand, having his country-house at Godstone.

James Murray, titular Earl of Dunbar (Vol. vi., 11.).-Mungo Murray, of Broughton, who got a charter of the lands of Egernes and Ballinteir in 1508, ancestor of the Murrays of Broughton in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, was second son of Cuthbert Murray, of Cockpool, whose lineal descendant was created Earl of Annandale in 1624. That title became extinct in 1658, but the present heir of line of the family is the Earl of Mansfield, in consequence of the marriage of David, fifth Viscount Stormont, to the lineal representative of

Sir James Murray of Cockpool, elder brother of the first Earl of Annandale. See Douglas's Peerage, i. 66. and ii. 539. E. N. Armorial Bearings of Cities and Towns (Vol. vi., p. 54.). The arms of the principal cities and towns in England will be found curiously engraved in Bickham's British Monarchy, published in the E. N. year 1743.

The Black Rood of Scotland (Vol. v., p. 440.).— The inventory made at Burgh-upon-Sands, July 17, 35 Edw. I. (A.D. 1307), contains an important notice of this famous historical relique :

"In Coffro signato supius signo Crucis. Videlt', crux Neygli' ornata auro et lapid' p'cios' una cum pede ejusd' crucis de auro et gēmis in quadā casula de corr' ex coffr' deō pedi aptata. It'. La Blakerode de Scot' fabricata in auro cũ cathena aur' in teca int'ï' lignea et ext'i' de arg' deaur'.

Birthplace of Wycliffe (Vol. vi., p. 55.).—In the Rev. Dr. Vaughan's Life of Wycliffe, vol. i. p. 230., it is proved almost to a certainty that the venerable reformer was born at a humble village of the name of Wycliffe, about six miles from the town of Richmond in Yorkshire. Your correspondent SEVARG is referred to the interesting Life of Wycliffe quoted above. JOHN ALGOR.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Every day, every hour, does the interest in that great discovery, which more than realises Puck's boast "I'll put a girdle round about the earth In forty minutes "

grow with the increased application of it. A popular, but at the same time, a clear, distinct, and scientific account of its origin and progress, cannot, therefore, be otherwise than welcome, and such will be found in the newly published part of the Traveller's Library, entitled Electricity and the Electric Telegraph, to which is added the Chemistry of the Stars, by Dr. George Wilson. The other part published by Messrs. Longman for the present month is Lord Bacon, in which Mr. Macaulay presents us with a brilliant portrait of

logical and General Literature, and Guide for Authors, Preachers, Students, and Literary Men; Analytical, Bibliographical, and Biographical, and cannot be better described than in the words of the prospectus, which states that it "is founded chiefly on the books contained in the Metropolitan Library (Clerical and General),' and will comprise nearly all authors of note, ancient and modern, in Theology, Ecclesiastical History, Moral Philosophy, and the various departments connected therewith, including a selection in most branches of Literature, with short Biographical Notices and Catalogue of each Author's works, which will be complete in regard to those whose works are published collectively; and the contents of each volume will be entific as well as alphabetical Arrangement of Subjects, To which will be added a sciminutely described. by which a ready reference may be made to Books, Treatises, Sermons, and Dissertations, on nearly all heads of Divinity; the Books, Chapters, and Verses of Holy Scripture; the Festivals, Fasts, &c., observed throughout the year; and useful Topics in Literature, Philosophy, and History, on a more complete system than has yet been attempted in any language, and forming an Index to the Contents of all similar Libraries, both public and private, and a Cyclopædia of the sources of Information and Discussion in Theology, and, to a great extent, in Universal Knowledge." The work will be published in monthly parts of eighty pages, and be complete in two volumes. The first, which will be complete in itself, will be finished in twenty parts. It appears to be very carefully compiled, and is replete with useful information.

"Judging," says The Athenæum, "by the number of new books which we see announced, or which we hear of in our immediate circles, the literary prospects of the coming season are not below the usual promise of the autumn. The activity seems to pervade all spheres, 'from grave to gay - from lively to severe.' In History, we expect an early appearance of four volumes by the Chevalier Bunsen on Hippolytus and his Age, a History of the Ionian Islands, by Mr. Bowen, some portion of a History of Europe from the Fall of Napoleon in 1815 to the Re-establishment of Military Government in France in 1851, by Sir A. Alison. Somewhat later in the season may be expected the Hon. Capt. Devereux's Lives of the Earls of Essex, — Mr. Hepworth Dixon's Domestic Story of the Civil War, the seventh and concluding volume of Lord Mahon's History of England, - and a new historical work from the pen of Mr. Carlyle. In the semi-historical department of literature we shall have two volumes of Fresh Discoveries at Nineveh and Researches at Babylon, from Dr. Layard, Leaves from my Journal during the year 1851, by a Member of the late Parliament, Hon. Mr. Neville's Anglo-Saxon Remains, new volume of Miss Strickland's Lives of the Queens of Scotland. Among books of travel, or books recording the results of travel, we shall have Mr. Mansfield Perkin's Personal Narrative of an Englishman resident in Abyssinia, Isis; an Egyptian Pilgrimage, by Mr. J. A. St. John, Village Life in Egypt, by Mr. Bayle St. John,. - Mr. Palliser's Solitary Rambles and Adventures of a Hunter in the Prairies, and Dr. Sunderland's Journal of a Voyage in Baffin's Bay and Barrow's Straits

the - and a

in 1850 and 1851, in search of the missing Crews. In Biography, the ten volumes of Memoir, Journal, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore, edited by Lord John Russell, will be expected with more than usual interest, -and in this department we may mention also the forthcoming Memoirs of the Baroness d' Oberkirch, written by herself and edited by her grandson, the Count de Monthison. There is also good news for the novel reader. The author of Zanoni, it is true, has retired into Parliameut, so that for a while the muse of romance may be voiceless at Knebworth; but others of the craft are in the field. The long-talked-of novel by the author of Vanity Fair, is, we believe, in course of being printed. The author of the Falcon Family has a new story ready for the season, with the title of Reuben Medlicot. Mr. Douglas Jerrold and the authoress of Mury Barton are severally contemplating new adventures among the social wastes and prairies of English daily life. Intelligence from Parnassus is somewhat scanty, but good of its kind. We hear that Mr. Sydney Yendys, the author of The Roman, has a new poem in the press; and Mr. Tennyson has composed some battalions of stanzas, but whether they will be put under review this season is not yet certain."

We beg for two reasons to call attention to the following paragraph in Mr. Halliwell's prospectus of his projected twenty folio volume edition of Shakspeare, the subscription list to which, we understand, is filling most rapidly. We do so, first, because it is omitted from the advertisement which appeared in our columns; and secondly and chiefly, because it alludes to that point to which we believe the readers of " N. & Q." attach most interest, namely, the Literary Illustration of the Great Poet.

"It is difficult to enter at length into a prospective account of the literary department of the work, without some risk of misleading the reader. This much, however, I may safely be allowed to promise, that the value of this edition will mainly depend on its antiquarian notes and collections of facts. Whatever is to be found in contemporary and early technical works, whatever real illusbearing on technical allusions, trations can be collected from the numerous Elizabethan tracts which exhibit popular life and manners as they are delineated by Shakespeare, wherever a long course of reading will assist in developing the generally hidden meaning of the colloquial phraseology used by the poet, there will the chief labour be bestowed. In short, from every source of archæological matter-of-fact commentary, it will be my endeavour to collect that which shall be really useful to those who desire to have the best information on the many ob solete subjects alluded to by the poet. All adverse criticism on the labours of others will be carefully avoided, and, where the true interpretation is still a matter of dispute, the best opinions will be honestly reproduced and commented upon, in the hope of the discovery of Truth, not in the spirit of controversy."

We have received from Mr. Walesby a copy of his Descriptive Catalogue of a Collection of Paintings, Objects of Art, Rarities, &c., now for sale by contract, and on view at his new gallery, 5. Waterloo Place. Historical Portraits form a very important feature in Mr. Walesby's Collection, but it contains many other

objects of taste of high value from their historical associations, as well as their intrinsic excellence.

CALENDAR OF THE

THENGLICAN CHURCH: illustrated

with Brief Accounts of the Saints who have Churches dedicated in their Names, or whose Images are most frequently met with in England; also the Early Christian and Medieval Symbols, and an Index of Emblems.

"It is perhaps hardly necessary to observe, that this work is of an Archæological, and not a Theological character. The Editor has not considered it his business to examine into the truth or falsehood of the legends of which he narrates the substance; he gives them merely as legends, and, in general, so much of them only as is necessary to explain why particular emblems were used with a particular Saint, or why Churches in a given locality are named after this or that Saint."- Preface.

"The latter part of the book, on the early Christian and medieval symbols, and on ecclesiastical emblems, is of great historical and architectural value. A copious Index of emblems is added, as well as a general Index to the volume with its numerous illustrations. The work is an important contribution to English Archaeology, especially in the department of ecclesiastical iconography."-Literary Gazette.

YMPATHIES of the CONTIREFORMATION. By JOHN BAPTI T VON HIRSCHER, D.D., Dean of the Metropolitan Church of Freiburg, Breisgau, and Professor of Theology in the Roman Catholic University of that City. Translated and edited with Notes and Introduction by the Rev ARTHUR CLEVELAND COXE, M. A. Rector of St. John's Church, Hartford, Connecticut, U. S.

"The following work will be found a noble apology, for the position assumed by the Church of England in the sixteenth century, and for the practical reforms she then introduced into her theology and worship. If the author is right, then the changes he so eloquently urges upon the present attention of his brethren ought to have been made three hundred years ago; and the obstinate refusal of the Council of Trent to make such reforms in conformity with Scripture and Antiquity, throws the whole burthen of the sin of schism upon Rome, and not upon our Reformers. The value of such admissions must, of course, depend in a great measure upon the learning, the character, the position, and the influence of the author from whom they proceed. The writer believes, that questions as to these particulars can be most satisfactorily answered."- Introduction by Arthur Cleveland Coxe.

THE PRACTICAL WORKING

TO THE CHURCH OF SPAIN. By the

Rev. FREDERICK MEYRICK, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.

"Pleasant meadows, happy peasants, all holy monks, all holy priests, holy every body. Such charity and such unity, when every man was a Catholic. I once believed in this Utopia myself, but when tested by stern facts, it all melts away like dream."-A. Welby Pugin.

"The revelations made by such writers as Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr. Gladstone in Italy, have at least vindicated for the Church of Enzland a providential and morally defined position. mission, and purpose in the Catholic Church."- Morning Chronicle.

"Two valuable works.. to the truthfulness of which we are glad to add our own testimony one, and the most important, is Mr. Meyrick's Practical Working of the Church of Spain. This is the experience and it is the experience of every Spanish traveller of a thoughtful person, as to the lamentable results of unchecked Romanism. Here is the solid substantial fact. Spain is divided between ultra-infidelity and what is so closely akin to actual idolatry, that it can only be controversially, not practically, distinguished from it: and over all hangs a lurid cloud of systematic immorality, simply frightful to contemplate. We can offer a direct, and even personal, testimony to all that Mr. Meyrick has to say." Christian Remembrancer.

"I wish to recommend it strongly."-T. K. Arnold's Theological Critic.

"Many passing travellers have thrown more or less light upon the state of Romanism and Christianity in Spain, according to their objects and opportunities; but we suspect these 'workings' are the fullest, the most natural, and the most trustworthy, of anything that has appeared upon the subject since the time of Blanco White's Confessions."- Spectator.

"This honest exposition of the practical working of Romanism in Spain, of its everyday effects, not its canons and theories, deserves the careful study of all, who, unable to test the question abroad, are dazzled by the distant mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a yearning soul that thirsts after water-brooks pure and full."- Literary Gazette.
