NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. No 67., Jau. 31. '57. 



discussed and principles always freely expressed 

 at old Doctor Emmett's table could not fail to 

 result as they did, in the expatriation of one gifted 

 son, Thomas Addis Emmett, and the untimely 

 death of another. A. B. K. 



Belmont. 



P.S. A third son, named Temple Emmett, a 

 youth of even greater promise than either of his 

 brothers, and not at all imbued with their opinions, 

 died before the storm of misfortune had burst 

 upon his family. From his name I think it pos- 

 sible that his father might have had some de- 

 pendency on " Earl Temple," who was Lord Lieu- 

 tenant of Ireland in 1780-2, but of this I have no 

 certainty. 



I know no reason why poor " Robert Emmett" 

 should be designated as " the Irish patriot,'' any 

 more than O'Quigley, or any other of the sufferers 

 for the two Irish rebellions of 1798 and 1803; 

 but M. R. C. will find an account of him and his 

 family in the Gentleman s Magazine for 1803, 

 pp. 876. 983. His father held the office of State 

 Physician in Ireland ; and, no doubt, had his arms 

 on his carriage, and they may probably be found 

 in Edmondson, which I have not at hand. C. 



Letter of Charles II. to the Queen of Bohemia 

 (2'"' S. ii. 111.) — The date of the letter must be 

 April 16, 1652, when Charles was residing in 

 Paris, after his escape from England. In that 

 year I find that Thomas Lord Wentworth was 

 sent by him to Denmark to seek assistance, and it 

 is well known that the States General of Holland 

 were much importuned by him and his unfor- 

 tunate aunt, the Queen of Bohemia. Lord Went- 

 worth was eldest son of Thomas Wentworth Earl of 

 Cleveland, with whom he was taken prisoner at the 

 battle of Worcester. He was summoned to Par- 

 liament, 16 Car. I., in right of his father's barony 

 of Wentworth of Nettlested, and pre-deceased 

 him in 1664, leaving a daughter, Henrietta Maria 

 Baroness Wentworth, who died unmarried in 1686. 

 From his sister, Anne Lady Lovelace, descends 

 Anne Isabella Dowager Lady Byron, now Baroness , 

 Wentworth, as sole heir through the recent de- 

 cease of the late Lord Scarsdale. R. R. 



Er.iely Pedigree (2"'» S. ii. 508. ; iii. 60.) — 

 I'iiere are pedigrees of the family of Ernley of 

 Ernley, co. Sussex, In the British Museum, Ilarl. 

 MS., 1084., fol. 120.; 1135., fol. 106.; 1194., fol. 

 99. ; 1406., fol. 95. ; 1562., fol. 35 b.

 of the Pedigrees and Arms in the British Museum. 



Resupinds. 



Thanks after reading the Gospel (2°'' S. ii. 467. ; 

 iii. 38. 57.) — This custom is observed in all the 

 parish churches of this town, and, I believe, gene- 

 rally throughout the county. In my own parish 



church the words are sung by the congregation, 

 to the organ, ending with " Thanks be given to 

 thee, Almighty God, for this Holy Gospel?'

I beg to protest against the dictum laid down 

 in this page (57.) of " N. & Q ," that the Suffra^ics 

 at the Gospel " were adopted from the Scottish 

 Liturgy of 1604 ;" if so, it might well be called a 

 novelty. 



Perhaps It avIU be quite sufficient to quote from 

 Mr. Palmer's Origines LitiLrgicce, vol. ii. p. 51. : 



" This custom of giving gloiy to God for his Holy Gos- 

 pel appears to have prevailed from remote antiquity in 

 all the Churches of the East and West." 



In a note he gives this reference : 



" Goar, Rituale Graec , p. 69. Rupertus Abbas, lib. i. de 

 Div. Officiis, c. 36. : ' Respondemus, gloria tibi Domine, 

 Glorificantes Dominum, quod misit nobis verbum salutis. "

Clyst St. George. 



At the church of Seend, in Wilts, It is a general 

 custom to repeat after the Gospel, " Thanks be to 

 thee, O Lord." When I say " it is," I should 

 rather say " it was," for it is now some half dozen 

 years since I was at Seend, where, at the time I 

 mention, I was resident for twelve months.

Muckruss, CO. Kerry (2""^ S. Hi. 47.). — Smith, in 

 his History of Kerry, 1756, (p. 142 ), says : 



" It was indeed a handsome compliment which was 

 paid to this place (Mucruss), by a late Right Reverend 

 Prelate (Dr. Berkeley, the late Bishop of Cloyne), whose 

 high taste in the beauties of art and nature, as well as 

 goodness of heart and solid learning, all the world equally 

 admired and aclinowledged ; who, being asked what he 

 thought of this seat, immediately answered, ' that the 

 Frencli monarch might possibly be able to erect another 

 Versailles ; but he could not, with all his revenues, lay 

 out another Mucruss.' " 



Simon Ward. 

 About two years since I spent a very delight- 

 ful week in the neighbourhood of Mucross Abbey ; 

 and during that time I made the acquaintance, 

 amongst other local personages, of the guide to the 

 beautiful abbey ruins, Mr. Gorram : from him I 

 received much polite attention, and gained also 

 some useful information. But the Query of your 

 correspondent reminds me of a habit of Mr. Gor- 

 ram's of associating all his ideas, comparisons, and 

 notions of beauty and magnificence with courtly 

 Versailles. I am induced, therefore, to conjec- 

 ture, that the quotation given by Abhba, in- 

 volving a comparison of Mucross with Versailles, 

 is a reminiscence of some conversation had with 

 the pleasant and communicative guide at Mucross 

 Abbey, rather than a quotation from any other 

 source. In fact, I have myself heard Mr. Gorrum 

 make the comparison in somewhat similar lan- 

 guage to that quoted at p. 47. of " N. & Q." At
