NOTES AND QUERIES.

the hunters dispatch them with cudgels. The skins are 

 used both as clothes and as coverings for beds." 



W. D. H. 



Arms. — Will any student in heraldry, or ge- 

 nealogist, kindly give the name of the family to 

 whom the following belong, believed to have for- 

 merly lived in either Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, or 

 Somerset : the description is copied from an old 

 paper, and possibly may be technically incorrect ? 



" Or, on a bend, gules, a crescent, or, a crest out of a 

 ducal coronet, a leopard sejant, proper, ^charged on the 

 shoulder with a crescent, or."

Heirs of " Wild Darell" of Littlecote. —Wh&t 

 became of the descendants of Edward Keate of 

 Lockinge, co. Berks, who was forty-five in 1664, 

 and of Sir John Elwes of Barton Court, co. Berks, 

 who was thirty-three in 1664 ? Both left nu- 

 merous children by their wives, the great nieces 

 and eventual coheirs of Darell, as appears in Ash- 

 mole's Visitation. C. E. L. 



George Herbert's ^^ Elixir." — The fourth stanza 

 in this poem, as given in the only edition I have 

 within reach, runs thus : 



" All may of Thee partake : 

 Nothing can be so mean, 

 Which with his tincture (for Thy sake) 

 Will not grow bright and clean." 



" His tincture " is, I conclude, a misprint for 

 "this tincture;" but I would ask whether the 

 words " for thy sake," here put in a parenthesis, 

 should not rather be in square brackets or in- 

 verted commas ? being, as I understand it, the 

 name of the tincture. A. A. D. 



[This Query has been anticipated by one lately received 

 from the editor of the new 8vo. edition of Herbert's Works 

 now preparing for our publishers, and we subjoin the in- 

 formation which it elicited : — Most of the-numerous edi- 

 tions of Herbert's Poems have the word his, excepting the 

 seventh, that of 1656, where, as we consider, it is more 

 correctly rendered : 



" Which with this tincture (for Thy sake) 

 Will not grow bright and clean." 



Some editions also have the words (for Thy sake) in italics 

 as well as in parenthesis, thus making the name of the 

 elixir, or tincture, more emphatic] 



Musical Acoustics. — Can any correspondent in- 

 form me of a work in which I can find the sciences 

 of Harmony and Acoustics treated of together ? 



T. Greenwood. 



Weymouth. 



[Consult the Penny Cydopadia, under the articles 

 Acoustics, Pipe, Chord, Vibration, Harmonic, Ear, La- 

 rynx, Temperament, &c., and the authorities quoted fur- 

 nish the names of authors who have treated on the subject 

 of music in connexion with the generation and ratios of 

 measured sounds.} 



M'Laurins' Works. — There was published in 

 1812 at Edinburgh, in 2 vols. 12mo,, The Poetical 

 and Dramatic Works of Colin Af^Laurin, Advo' 

 cate, and George M'^Laurin, Writer^ Edinburgh. 

 Could you give me the names of the dramatic 

 works of the respective authors ? X. 



[George Maclaurin is the author of Laura, or the Pun- 

 ishment of Perfdy, a Tragedy in Five Acts. Colin Mac- 

 laurin that of Hampden, a Tragedy in Five Acts ; and 

 the Prologue to Laura.'] 



Dr. P. Anderson. — Can you give me any in- 

 formation regarding Dr. P. Anderson, author of 

 The Picture [Cojaze] of a Scottish Baron's Court, 

 a dramatic poem. The author probably was living 

 about the reign of Charles I. A reprint of his 

 drama was published at Edinburgh in 1821. X. 



[A few brief notices of the author are prefixed to the 

 reprint of the above work. Dr. Anderson practised as a 

 physician in Edinburgh in 1618, and resided at Milne's 

 Court, opposite the head of the West Bow. At what time 

 he was appointed physician to Charles I. is uncertain. In 

 1618 he published a small tract, entitled The Colde Spring 

 of Kinghorne Craig. " The Copie of a Baron's Court, 

 newly translated by Whats-you-call-him, Clerk to the 

 same, printed at Helicon, beside Parnassus, and are to be 

 sold in Caledonia," was published after his death. An- 

 other work is attributed to him, entitled Grana Angelica, 

 8vo. Edinb. 1635, concerning the nature and use of the 

 famous pills, now commonly known as Anderson's Pills. 

 In the Advocates' Library is a MS. by Dr. Anderson, 

 entitled The Historie of Scotland, since the Death of 

 James I., where Boethius left off, untill the death of King 

 James VI. of happie memory, carefully digested into six 

 books. 2 vols.] 



" Microcosm of London." — In 1808 a costly 

 work, under this title, in three volumes, was pub- 

 lished by Ackermann, the coloured plates being 

 the joint production of Rowlandson and Pugin ; 

 the figures being by the former, the landscape and 

 architecture by the latter. Is this Pugin the 

 Pugin ? I am not able to refer to any memoir of 

 this distinguished architect ; but his name, in con- 

 junction with that of Rowlandson, now sounds as 

 strangely as would the joint production of plates 

 by George Cruikshank and Gilbert Scott. 



CUTHBERT BeDE. 



[Rowlandson's colleague was Augustus Pugin, an archi- 

 tectural draughtsman, the father of the celebrated Chris- 

 tian architect, Augustus Northmore Welby Pugin. The 

 elder Pugin was a native of Paris, but came to England 

 when young. For more than twenty years he was in the 

 office of Mr. Nash, the architect. He was one of the first 

 members of the Society of Water Colour Painters. _ His 

 principal works are On Gothic Architecture; Specimens 

 of Architectural Antiquities of Normandy ; and Pam and 

 its Environs. He died on Dec. 18, 1832, at the age of 

 sixty -four.] 



Sir Marmaduke Constable. — Sir Marmaduke 

 Constable, Knt., sometime Governor of Berwick, 

 Knight of the Body to Henry VIII., and one of 

 the commanders at Flodden Field, died about 

 1520, and is buried at Flamborough church, 

 where is an inscription to his memory, given in
