NOTES AND QUERIES. 



217 



some other work : the title-page is long and bom- 

 bastical, but has no date. I suppose the book to 

 have been written about 1783, to which period it 

 is brought down : " the whole tending to display 

 the Patriotic Virtues of our illustrious Ancestors, 

 and to inspire the present Age with an Emulation 

 of imitating their Glorious Examples." By Edward 

 Barnard, Esq. The " explanation of the elegant 

 Frontispiece' is a very fair specimen of the con- 

 ceited style of the book : — 



" History (emblematically representing the author of 

 this work) attended by Wisdom and Justice, presenting 

 to Britannia the manuscripts of this new History of Eng- 

 land, who kindly accepts the same, and tells her they shall 

 be deposited, as a reward for the Impartiality with which 

 they are written, in the Temple of Fame, where neither 

 Time nor Enemies shall efface the Genuine Annals of this 

 country." 



The characters of the monarchs agree with those 

 usually given, and the author is generally very 

 minute. The work is not mentioned in Watt's 

 Bibliotheca Britannica, or by Lowndes, nor have 

 I ever met with another copy. 



Can any correspondent of " N. & Q." give me 

 particulars of its author, Edward Barnard ? or in- 

 form me if my opinion of its obscurity is correct ?

Norwich, 



Genealogical Queries. — Who is the representa- 

 tive of Thomas Percy, the 7th Earl of Northum- 

 berland — of Charles Neville, the 6th Earl of 

 Westmerland — and of John Baliol, the ill-fated 

 King of Scotland ? Our American friends are 

 desired to communicate, especially, on the first- 

 named subject. L. F. B. 



Inchbald. — Information is requested respecting 

 the husband of Mrs. Inchbald, the authoress and 

 actress. Mr. Inchbald was also on the stage, 

 though he was not much known. His birth-place 

 I am particularly anxious to learn, and any in- 

 formation regarding his family. I shall be glad 

 to correspond with anyone who can tell me any- 

 thing about him, and for this purpose only I 

 enclose my address. E. W. 



Quotations Wanted. — 



" Death looks an old man in the face, but often stands 

 at the back of a child," 



or words to that effect. 



In Grey's Hudibras, in a note on Part i. Canto 

 i. 113., there are given the lines — 



" Magna voce boat . . . ." 

 " Celeri cursu verba fatigat," 

 with no reference. Where are they to be found ? 



Libya. 



Church Tune " Wareham." — What is known of 



L. Knapp, who died 1759, and was the author of 



this tune ? and why is the tune called " Ware- 



tam ? " Vrxak Bhbgbd. 



Donnyhrook Parish Registers. — In the hope 

 that it may lead to their recovery, if still in exist- 

 ence, I wish to state in " N. & Q.," that among the 

 records belonging to the parish of St. Mary, Don- 

 nyhrook, near Dublin, there is not the vestige of 

 a register of baptisms, marriages, or burials (and 

 there must have been many of these occurrences in 

 so large a parish), for the space of thirty-two 

 years before 1800. How the book or books were 

 lost, or when, no one can tell ; but certain I am 

 that they have not been forthcoming, to the great 

 inconvenience and injury of many persons, for the 

 last fourteen years. The registers of the parish 

 date from 1712. Abhba. 



" The British Magazine" 1747. — I have in my 

 possession the first volume of a publication called 

 The British Magazine, or London and Edinburgh 

 Intelligencer for the Year 1747. It is printed at 

 Edinburgh, and comprises the whole of the year. 

 It appears to have been strongly Anti-Jacobite 

 and it is said, in the Preface, that — 



" what gave birth to this design was not private pique, 

 neither was it gain, but it was the desire of some who 

 wish well to their country and its Constitution." 



It is added : — 



" At the same time the Publishers must acknowledge, 

 they never dreamed of pleasing everybody : that would 

 have been a dream indeed. They have endeavoured to 

 please the many, but th^few must please themselves. And 

 this, especially on the eve of a Rebellion, when the flames 

 of a civil war are scarcely extinguished. Party and Party 

 spirit will never die, where there is a Pretender to feed it ; 

 and all attempts to bring the Nation back to its old good 

 nature, and its old good manners, must meet with very 

 great opposition from that quarter." 



Can any of your numerous readers or corre- 

 spondents say whether this publication ever went 

 farther ? and, if so, for how long it was continued ?

Edinburgh. 



Cant Phrases. — In a pamphlet of the chap- 

 book class, without date, but probably about a 

 century old, entitled A Trip to Bartlemy Fair., 

 among the company in a dancing-booth are men- 

 tioned : — 



" Butchers who knew no musick but the marrow-bone 

 and cleaver, a councillor of the pipowder court, tuo knights 

 of the short sword, Abram-men in their Sunday cloathes, 

 a cripple whose crutch suggested a dolon, and a knight of 

 the post with a coil of cutch-wire peeping out of his 

 pocket." 



An explanation of the words in Italics will 

 oblige A. A. R. 



H. Mordaunt, Esq. — There was published about 

 1827, a translation of The Peace of Aristophanes 

 by H. Mordaunt, Esq., M.A, The volume was 

 dedicated to Mr. Frere. It is reviewed in Black- 

 wood's Mag., vol. xxiii. Can you give me any 

 information regarding the author ? Iota.
