LIEUT.-COL. KNOX (4th S. v. 227.)—Your correspondent B. B. asks for information regarding Lieut.-Col. Knox. The following, little as it is, may be acceptable to him :-

William Douglas Hunter Knox was appointed a cadet in 1781, and was admitted upon the Bengal establishment. The various ranks he held in the army were as follow: Cornet, May 10, 1781; lieutenant, Sept. 20, 1782; captain, Nov. 13, 1800; major, March 11, 1805; brevet lieut.-col. Jan. 1, 1812; regimental lieut.-col. Feb. 27, 1812; lieut.-col. commandant, Dec. 12, 1823; col. June 5, 1829.

On joining the army he was appointed to a native regiment of Light Cavalry, and during the whole period of his service in India he remained in that branch of the army, serving with various regiments in the Bengal Presidency. In 1824 he obtained a furlough to Europe, and on Dec. 1, 1829, he died at Edinburgh. (See Dodwell and Miles' Indian Army List, 1760 to 1834, ed. 1838; East India Registers from 1800 to 1831.)

In the answer to B. B.'s query, which appeared in your impression of Feb. 26 last, it is stated that this officer was engaged with Lord Cornwallis at the siege of Seringapatam in 1792. This is an error. The Lieut.-Col. Knox who was present at that siege was Brevet Lieut.-Col. the Hon. (John) Knox of His Majesty's 36th foot, whose regiment formed part of the right column of attack on Feb. 6 and 7, 1792, Lieut.-Col. Knox himself commanding the 52nd, 71st and 74th regiments as a part of the centre column under the personal command of Lord Cornwallis. He is mentioned as Col. the Hon. Knox at vol. ii. p. 199 of Mackenzie's War with Tippo Sultan. Moreover, it will be seen, on a comparison of the ranks of these two officers, that in 1792 W. D. H. Knox was only a lieutenant.

The various ranks he held in the British army were as follow:-36th foot: regimental major, Nov. 13, 1780; brevet lieut.-col. Nov. 18, 1790; lieut.-col. Aug. 1, 1795 ; brevet col. Aug. 21, 1795; major-gen. June 18, 1798. 9th foot: col. commandant in Army List for 1800.

GOUGH, A SURNAME (4th S. iv. 304, 371.) There was a family of the name of Graunt or Le Graund living in the parish of Trevethin, Monmouthshire, at least as early as the beginning of the fifteenth century. They were ironworkers on a small scale-in fact the forerunners of the great ironmasters of that part of the country. Their Welsh neighbours called them Gove, Gof, Gough, i. e. Smith, and their names appear as Graunt-yGof, Graunt alias Gough, till the first was gradually dropped, and they became Goughs only. I am myself a descendant of this family, which bore

SLAUGHTER: NICHOLLETS: CHEYNEY COURT

(4th S. v. 152, 217, 243.)-I am much obliged to SIR THOMAS WINNINGTON for his references, and for his note as to the monument at Eastham. When I wrote my note I had not access to Nash or Duncombe or Lysons. The monument explains the way in which Hopton Sollers (or Solers) came into the name of Nichollets.

I agree with H. S. G. that shield 3 may be considered as having Leake for femme, if the number of the annulets is not a decisive obstacle. I do not think it is so.

The centre shield at Cheney Court gave Leche in the incorrect manner which I described on p. 152. You have to go to Hopton Sollers to see the real coat.

Hardwicke's" father and mother preserved here. It is interesting to find the memory of" Bess of

I

presume that Slaughter, having married a Leche, and so having entered a Derbyshire pedigree, found himself entitled to put up the shield of Hardwicke and Leche in his house as a memorial of his alliance.

The details could, I suppose, be filled up readily by a Derbyshire genealogist. There is no difficulty as to the tincture of the Hardwicke coat. Blue always turns black with years. I have constantly found myself at a loss to be certain, in old work, whether azure or sable was intended to be

shown.

I have a fine bookplate of "The Most Noble William Duke of Devonshire, a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter," which I think must have belonged to the second of the two Dukes William at the beginning of the last cenCavendish; 2. Smith; 3. Pawson, if I am not tury. In this are six areas, 3, 3. First and sixth, mistaken; 4. Hardwicke; 5. Kighley. But Hardwicke is given with the chief argent.

MR. CLIFFORD W. POWER has done us a great favour by giving the verses which appear under the Sibyls at Cheney Court. I will add to his account of the room, and to mine, that the "very small room opening out" of it, which stands over in the wall of the room opposite to the Sibyls, the porch, was called "Heaven." There was also and at right angles to the room over the porch, a small door which was kept closed. The place to which it gave access was called "Hell." D. P.

PETER POURBUS (4th S. iv. 11; v. 258.)— Peter Pourbus, son of John, was born at Gouda, some say in 1510, others in 1513, but there is no evidence to prove the exactness of either of these dates. He was admitted free master in the Corporation of Saint Luke and Saint Eligius (painters,

glaziers, and saddlers) at Bruges, on August 26, 1543; was twice dean of the corporation in 1569 and 1580; married Anne, younger daughter of the painter Lancelot Blondeel, and died Jan. 30, 1584 (1583 old style; the year here began at Easter). The statements in Michiel's Histoire de la Peinture flamande are not to be relied on; many of the pictures attributed by him to Pourbus are by other masters. Pourbus's bird's-eye view of the Franc or Liberty of Bruges-a jurisdiction always quite independent of the town-perished at the end of the sixteenth century. The view now in the Hôtel de Ville is a copy by Peter Claeissens. I have reason to believe that there are many works, both by Peter and his son Francis, in England, and should be glad to learn their whereabouts. Peter's works usually bear the signature PP. Francis Pourbus the elder, Anthony Claeissens, and Hubert Boven, were pupils of his. W. H. JAMES WEALE. Bruges.

"A CHILD'S DREAM OF HEAVEN" (4th S. v. 23, 134.)-I remember a sort of legendary tragedy or riddle, which I learned when a child, but what the explanation was I never could learn, beyond the fifth line referring to a church clock, and the eighth denoting an infant in a coffin:

"Come riddle, a-riddle, aright;
Where was I last Sunday night?

The cock crew,

The wind blew,

The clock in heaven

Struck eleven;

The little child in the tree,

Cried Mamma, mamma, pity me!"

JOHN HIGSON. LABARUM (4th S. v. 93, 237.)-I cannot endorse the doctrine that Adpupa exclusively refers to spoils taken from the living. I ground my objection upon such passages as the following: και σε παγχρύσοις ἐγὼ

στέψω λαφύροις

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

Soph. Ajax, 92, 93. λάφυρα δίων δουρίπηχθ ̓ ἁγνοῖς δόμοις. στέψω πρὸ ναῶν, πολεμίων ἐσθήματα. Esch. Theb. 278, 279. Nor do I think the device on Constantine's banner will support the view of its being a trophy. The device was a 66 cross with a cypher expressing the name Jesus." This had been adopted by Constantine in lieu of an eagle formerly painted upon it, and may point to his reported vision of a cross in the heavens surrounded by the words év Taúr víka. This standard was first called Labarum by that emperor, and its conjectural derivation from Adpupa is of very ancient date. I should be very glad of something like a proximate solution.

"NOT LOST, BUT GONE BEFORE" (3rd S. x. 404, 460; xi. 163.)-I am inclined to think that a fragment of Antiphanes may supply the original of this much discussed quotation. In his eleventh fragment occur the words,—

οὐ γὰρ τεθνᾶσιν ἀλλὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ὁδὸν
ἣν πᾶσιν ἐλθεῖν ἔστ ̓ ἀναγκαίως ἔχον,
προεληλύθασιν.

or as Cumberland translates,-
"Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before,
Advanced a stage or two upon that road

Which you must travel, in the steps they trod."
In Ben Jonson's epitaph on Sir John Roe (see
Dodd's Epigrammatists, p. 190) occurs the expres

GREEK PRINTING: WHO INVENTED" CONTRACTED GREEK"? (4th S. v. 221.)-DE MORAVIA seems to be under the delusion that, because Greeks have ceased to write as Aristotle and Thucydides wrote, therefore Greek is a dead language, which men now neither write nor speak. Had he paid a visit to Greece, or even had he listened to a speech from the Archbishop of Syra or seen a letter of his writing, he would find that he is mistaken. I have before me Greek books and Greek news

papers that I bought in Constantinople, which are written in what is known as Byzantine Greek, which any classical scholar can read with ease. He would have found also that there is a cursive Greek, used by those who carry on correspondence in that language, which differs as much from printed Greek as English writing does from printing. The idea of an Englishman prescribing a new alphabet to the Greeks is certainly a bold one; but one also calculated to raise a smile, not only on the countenance of a Greek, but also of an Englishman.

There is a question respecting the printing of Greek on which I should be glad if any one would enlighten me. When and by whom was invented that instrument of torture contracted Greek?

I have Greek books printed in the sixteenth century with very few contractions, while others of the seventeenth are so full of them that the original form of the letters is nearly lost.

BATTLE OF SADOWA (4th S. v. 33.)-In reference to several nations having given different names to this battle and that of Waterloo, as mentioned by JAYDEE, I would add, as a parallel instance, Austerlitz, fought on Dec. 2, 1805. It was called by Napoleon the Battle of Austerlitz, by his soldiers the Battle of the Three Emperors, and by others the Day of the Anniversary. JOHN PICKFORD, M.A.

Bolton Percy, near Tadcaster. CURIOUS BELL LEGEND (4th S. v. 315.)—Presuming that some other correspondent will explain the legend sent by MR. ELLACOMBE, perhaps it may be well to state that in Dugdale's Antiquities of Warwickshire, by William Thomas, D.D., London: 1730, vol. i. p. 555, is the following passage relating to the church of S. George, Brailes:

"On the great bell here are the Arms of Underhill, a cheveron between three trefoils, and round it this inscription in Saxon characters: Gaude quod post ipsum scundis. Et est tibi honor grandis in cœli palatio."

REID FAMILY (4th S. v. 92, 237, 284.)-ANGLOSCOTUS makes a very great blunder by saying, "the only family territorially described as of 'Pitfoddels' was a branch of the very old Norman race of Menzies." MR. MARSHALL is under no mistake as to there having been a family designed as Rede or Reid of Pitfoddels." I had several years ago met with crown charters in the public records which showed they were the ancient possessors of that barony. They ended in an heiress, who married a Menzies. The following charters fully prove what I have stated:

66

-

"Carta Alexandro Rede de Pitfodellis, et Mariota Culane ejus sponsæ, terrarum de Eister Pitfodellis." (See

Book XIII. No. 143, of King James IV., dated Dec. 10, 1494.)

The above Alexander Rede was succeeded by one of the same name, as shown by another crown charter.

"Carta Alexandro Rede de Pitfodellis, et Margarita Crawfurd ejus sponsæ, terrarum de Eistertown et Westertown de Pitfodellis.' (See Book XIV. No. 64, of King James IV., dated Nov. 4, 1504.)

"Carta Thoma Menzies, et Mariota Reid sponsæ suæ, de terrarum et Baronia de Pitfodellis, de novo unit." (See Book XXVIII. No. 338, of King James V., dated Nov. 5, 1542.)

A previous charter, Book XXVIII. No. 191, and dated June 2, 1542, proves the above Thos. Menzies was son of Gilbert Menzies of Findoun. The lands of Pitfoddels must have been erected into a barony in favour of the "Redes" at a very early period.

The above is evidence how the public may be misled by dogmatic assertions, when made without any investigation of the public records. J. A. R.

SIBYLS OF CHEYNEY COURT (4th S. v. 243, 317.)-The emblems of the Sibyls are thus given in the second edition of the Emblems of Saints :Agripa, a scourge; Cumana, a crib; Cycmeria, a horn; Delphica, holding a crown of thorns Elopontia, holding a cross; Europa, a sword; Frigea, a cross with pennon; Libica, lighted taper; Persica, holding a lantern, and trampling on a dragon; Samne (Sane), a rose; Tiburtina, F. C. H. about to give a blow.

JOHN ANGELL (4th S. v. 31, 108.)-In reference to the information given by B. E. N. (p. 108) relative to John Angell, there is one point on which I would be glad to have some additional information. Your informant says that Mr. Angell's name disappeared from the Dublin Almanac in 1820, and that he died in 1828. Now, if it be so, (1) Where did he die? (2) Where was he buried? I was perfectly aware that Mr. Angell was author of a History of Ireland, but that was not what I was in search of. He was author of other works, if I mistake not. He as a shorthand writer took the parliamentary proceedings in committee of the House of Commons, on the Callan elections. In short, he was well known to county of Antrim, the county of Leitrim, and the Right Honourable and Honourable the Dublin Society, Grafton Street-one of the oldest scientific institutions in Ireland. This may be proved by looking at a minute of a meeting of that society, dated January 25, 1770, presided over by Thos. Le Hunte, Esq., vice-president; by which minute the society recommended Mr. Angell's shorthand work to the public. I have a printed copy of said minute. I have also the fifth edition of his Stenography, 1787. But what I am hunting for is the Stenographical Grammar (a totally different work) and the two manuscript volumes.

"A SCREW" (4th S. v. 148.)-A person who tries to purchase anything at a lower price than the seller demands is said to screw him down, or to screw the price down. It seems probable that from this course of conduct the name of screw was applied to the person making use of it.

The Vision of William concerning Piers the Ploughman, together with Vita de Dowel, Dobet et Dobest, secundum Wit et Resoun, by William Langland (1377, A.D.) Edited from various MSS. by the Rev. W. Walter Skeat, M.A. The Crowley Text, or Text B. (Early English Text Society.)

The "Gest Historiale" of the Destruction of Troy. An Alliterative Romance translated from Guido de Colonna's Historia Troiana. Now first edited from the Unique MS. in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow, by the Rev. Geo. A. Panton and David Donaldson. (Early English Text Society.)

We congratulate the Early English Text Society and all students of our national literature on the steady and satisfactory progress which Mr. Skeat is making with his excellent edition of Piers Plowman-certainly, next to the writings of Chaucer, by far the most important legacy which the fourteenth century has bequeathed to us. In the goodly volume before us, which a few years since would not have been attainable at the price of a year's subscription to the Society (one guinea), though it is only one of five or six books, which the subscribers will receive for the 1869 subscription, we have the poem as it exists in the type B, or Crowley version, the second of the five different shapes in which Mr. Skeat has shown that the poem exists; with an Introduction full of valuable illustration of the poem, the MSS. in which it is found, and the peculiarities of the present version. The next book is a very curious alliterative poem on the Destruction of Troy from a MS. in the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow. It was originally supposed, and is so described by the author of the catalogue of the museum, to be a translation from the well known poem of Joseph of Exeter. That proved not to be the The histories said to be by Dares and Dictys were At last the tranthen examined with no better success. script was compared with a MS. of Guido de Colonna, and it was then seen that the poem was a translation, though not a continuous one, of that author's Historia Trojana.

Memoirs of the Marquise de Montagu. By the Baroness de Noailles. (Bentley.)

The subject of the present memoir is Mdlle. de Maintenon, the fourth daughter of Le Duc d'Aven, eldest son She was born at Paris of the last Marshal de Noailles.

on June 22, 1766, and her mother wished to have two beggars from the parish of Saint Roch for her godfather and godmother-a little incident indicative of the pious care bestowed upon her in her youth. She was married to the Marquis Joachin de Montagu on May 12, 1783. But, in spite of the brilliant prospects before her, heavy trials were soon at hand. The French Revolution entailed upon her heavy losses of family and fortune, and she in an especial degree proved the sweet uses of adversity.

The book is not only interesting for its details of the life of an excellent woman, but for the glimpses it affords of manners and society during the period to which it relates.

BOOKS RECEIVED.—

The Poetical Works of Robert Burns, Vol. I. (Bell & Daldy), is a further instalment of the new and wondrously cheap reissue of the Aldine Poets (in eighteenpenny volumes).

DIOCESAN RECORDS.-A good deal of light is likely to be thrown before long upon the character and condition of these important documents. Lord Romilly moved on Monday last for "a return from each diocese, stating the places in which the records of all ecclesiastical and diocesan matters are preserved, explaining the manner in which these records are kept, distinguishing such as are kept in fire-proof places, stating the names of the persons in whose custody they are kept, the conditions under which access is permitted to them, what fees are taken for leave to inspect and to make copies, what is the total amount of such fees received within the last five years, and what steps are taken for the preservation of these records from damp and from improper abstraction or removal."

OUR lace-loving lady friends, who desire to be initiated into the mysteries of, and be enabled to reproduce, the Point de Venise, Point Coupé, and all other laces of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, will be glad to learn that Mrs. Hailstone of Horton Hall, Bradford, announces for early publication a volume of Designs for Lacemakcollection, and the scarce old pattern-books published in ing, from specimens selected from her own extraordinary Italy, Germany, and France.

MODERN INVENTIONS. That great invention the "Chronograph,” which times all the principal events of the day, and has superseded the old-fashioned Stop-watch, seems likely to be eclipsed in fame by that still more useful invention the "Keyless Watch." The fact of no key being required renders these Watches indispensable to the traveller. the nervous, and invalids. The enormous number sent even by post to all parts of the world, is a convincing proof of their great utility. The prices range from 5 to 100 guineas. Thousands of them are manufactured by Mr. J. W.
