KOTES AND QUERIES. 



515 



give me a clue to the said pedigree ? or is it pro- 

 bable there may be a copy in Worcester College ? 

 Arms. Az. 6 griffins segreant or. Crest. A grif- 

 fin's head erased, crowned ducally, with a branch

 Fresco Painting in Westminster Abbey. — Being 

 in the record-room in Westminster Abbey, I no- 

 ticed a curious fresco painting on the south wall. 

 It represents a white doe lying on what appears 

 to be intended for grass. The head is turned 

 over the left shoulder, and the neck encircled by 

 a coronet, from which descends a chain fastened 

 to a ring on the ground. The upper part of the 

 painting is much obliterated, but the lower part 

 is quite distinct. I should be glad if any of your 

 correspondents would kindly give me any inform- 

 ation regarding it. M. C. H. 



Old Chapel in Donvybrook Parish Church. — In 

 Lodge's Peerage of Ireland (Archdall's edition, 

 vol. iv. p. 318.), mention is made of Oliver Fitz- 

 william, Eiirl of Tyrconnel, who died 11th April, 

 1667, and "lies buried under a handsome tomb 

 of black marble, in the chapel of the family's foun- 

 dation in Donnybrooke church," near Dublin. 

 The family is now represented by the Right Hon. 

 Sidney Herbert; and I am gathering particulars of 

 the locality. Can anyone give me any information 

 respecting the chapel in question ? When was it 

 founded ? by whom ? and when was it thrown 

 down ? Not a vestige of it remains in the old 

 graveyard of the parish. Abhba. 



Authors of the Protestant Episcopal Church in 

 America. — Can you furnish me with a list of the 

 clergy of the above church who have published 

 works on religious subjects up to the present 

 time ? Low's Catalogue of American Literature 

 gives as authors of theological works eighty-one 

 names in alphabetical order, beginning with Jacob 

 Abbott and ending with Leonard Woods ; but 

 which of these are members of the Episcopal 

 Church, and which are members of congregations 

 dissenting therefrom, I have no means of ascer- 

 taining. Vkyan Rheged. 



Llorente's " Inquisition." — Llorente's Histoire 

 Critique de VInquisition d'Espagne is stated, on 

 the title-page of the second edition, Paris, 1818, 

 to be " traduite de T Espagnol, sur le manuscrit et 

 sous les yeux de VAuteur, par Alexis Pettier.'' 

 Was the work ever published in its original lan- 

 guage ? and, if it was, where can a copy of it be 

 obtained ? Ekic. 



Ville-Marie, Canada. 



Clapping Prayer-boohs on^ Good Friday. — 

 Where does the custom exist which is alluded to 

 by Mr. Yarrom (2"'* S. vii. 26.), when he refers 

 to the sounds " still made by sharply clapping the 

 Prayer-books on Good Friday " ? W. P. P. 



Indian Manuscript. — Mr. Hearne, in the Pre- 

 face to his Journey from the Prince of Wales's 

 Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean, 

 London, 1795, 4to., states that he had a vocabu- 

 lary of the Northern Indian language, containing 

 sixteen folio pages, which was intended to accom- 

 pany his work. He lent this valuable MS. to 

 Mr. Hutchins, then corresponding secretary to the 

 Hudson's Bay Company. But Mr. Hutchins dying 

 soon after, the vocabulary was taken away with 

 the rest of his effects, and so lost. 



The object of this reference to Mr. Hearne's 

 statement now, is to learn whether the MS. is still 

 extant, and where ? E. B. O'Callaghan. 



Albany, N. Y. 



Sir Francis Pemberton. — In the Gentleman's 

 Magazine for April, 1834 (p. 384.), it is stated 

 that the monument of Lord Chief Justice Pem- 

 berton was, on pulling down Highgate chapel, 

 where it formerly stood, removed to Cambridge. 

 Can any of your correspondents inform me in 

 what sacred edifice there it was re-erected ? 



Edward Foss. 



" It would puzzle a Philadelphia Lawyer." — 

 What is the origin of this expression ? A local 

 origin, at the city named, seems indicated, yet 

 there it has not been satisfactorily traced ; and 

 Col. Hamilton (author of Cyril Thornton) in his 

 Travels in America, says : — 



" It is not unusual among the lower orders in England, 

 when any knotty point is proposed for discussion, to say 

 it would ' puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer.' To do this, 

 however, it must be knotty indeed, for I have never met 

 a body of men more distinguished by acuteness and ex- 

 tensive professional information than the members of the 

 Philadelphia Bar." — Men and Manners in America, 

 chapter xi. 203. 



How, and to what extent, has this seemingly 

 local phrase come into use in England, in the way 

 mentioned by Hamilton? C. J. B, 



Philadelphia. 



Lloyd. — Humphrey Lloyd, D. D., Bishop of 

 St. Asaph *, when ? Wanted particulars of his 

 family and descendants. There is a distinguished 

 family in Ireland bearing the Christian name of 

 Humphrey for at least 150 years. Several gene- 

 rations of them have adopted the church as their 

 profession. Can they be descended from this 

 bishop ? Y. S. M. 



John Heath's Satirical Epigrams. — Could any 

 of your correspondents kindly favour me with a 

 copy of the following epigrams? — " On my Ven- 

 ture in Sir Walter Rawleigh's Voiage," and 

 " Censures on the Vovage to Gwyana." They 

 are in a very scarce little work, entitled, — 



" The House of Correction, or certayne satyricall Epi- 



[* Humphrey Lloyd was Bishop of Bangor, a.d. 1673 — 

 1689. Ob. Jan, 18, 1688-9.— Ed.]
