NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. No 77., June 20. '57. 



Can any one give the dates of the second and 

 third editions, or any information respecting 

 them ? J. Yeowbll. 



Myddelton Place. 



Fitz Lewis, Countess Rivers. — Mary, daughter 

 of Sir Henry Fitz Lewis, and widow of Anthony 

 Widville, Earl Rivers, beheaded in 1483, married 

 Sir George Neville, base son of an Earl of West- 

 moreland. Can any of your genealogical corre- 

 spondents supply a reference to a pedigree of 

 Fitz Lewis, that will furnish any date of the time 

 of death of Sir Henry Fitz Lewis, or of his daugh- 

 ter the Countess Rivers, or of Sir George Neville 

 her second husband ? Of which Earl of West- 

 moreland was he son, and where was his residence 

 or lands ? C. E. L. 



William Cecil — Cardinal Campeggio. — In 

 looking through the Trevelyan Papers, recently 

 published by the Camden Society, I have met 

 with two or three points which seem to me to 

 require clearing up : — 



1. In the extracts from the household book of 

 Hen. VIIL, we have twice, " to William Cecell of 

 the robes." The editor supposes that for William 

 we should, in both these places, read " Richard ; " 

 and having, at p. 146., printed the name " Wil- 

 liam," says, at p. 161., "It seems the first men- 

 tion of William." Was there a William Cecil in 

 the service of Hen. VIIL at this time ? 



2. Amongst the extracts from the same book 

 occurs the following : " Item to Maister Ran- 

 dulphe, the Cardignall Cauipegius' sonne," &c. To 

 which the editor appends this note : " Ought we 

 not to read servant for 'sonne?'" To which I 

 should answer, that if the MS. gives " sonne," it 

 would be diflScult to make the monosyllable into a 

 dissyllable of a totally diflferent meaning. Be- 

 sides, it is well known that Cardinal Campeggio had 

 a son. To this note let me add a Query : What 

 is known with certainty of the early life of this 

 Cardinal ? and does Lingard, from conjecture and 

 a sense of propriety only, suppose him to have 

 been a widower before he was ordained ? 



Wm. Denton. 



Chaise Marine. — A modern act of parliament 

 for maintaining a turnpike road has been sent to 

 me. Amongst other tolls directed to be levied is 

 toll for a " chaise marine." Can you, or any of 

 your subscribers, inform me what kind of convey- 

 ance a " chaise marine " may be ? Spring. 



Derivation of " Tory." — Some time since I saw 

 the term " Whig " derived from the initial letters 

 of the sentence, — 



« We hope in God." 



Of course this ingenious derivation cannot be sus- 

 tained after the etymology given in 1" S. iv. 164. 

 281. 492.; vi. 520.; x. 482.; xi. 36.; but I 



should like to know the corresponding sentence, 

 now utterly out of my memory, of which the 

 initial letters made up the term " Tory." 



Alexander. 



" Valentine's Day," — Who is the author of 

 Valentine's Day ; or the Amorous Knight and the 

 Belle Widow, a comedy, in three acts, 1809 ? 

 There is a poetical appeal to the critics prefixed. 



A.. 



Ranelagh Tickets. — Mr. Faulkner, in his ac- 

 count of Ranelagh (see Hist, of Chelsea, 2nd edit, 

 vol. ii. p. 305.), mentions that the tickets of ad- 

 mission on June 23, 1775 (the celebrated regatta 

 entertainment), were engraved by Bartolozzi. I 

 wish to have a description of them, if any corre- 

 spondent can give such ; and also to know if they 

 are rare or valuable ; of more than one design ; or 

 issued for more than this one occasion. Inform- 

 ation on these points would greatly oblige 



H. G. D. 



T'hings strangled and Blood. — In the Acts of 

 the Apostles (xv. 29.) Christians are ordered to 

 abstain from the above as articles of food. Ac- 

 cordingly such abstinence was practised during 

 the first three centuries at least. We may gather 

 as much from Minucius Felix {Octavius, ch. 30.). 

 Yet at the time of the Reformation the precept 

 had come to be so entirely disregarded, that the 

 Augshurgh Confession (Append. 7.) considers it 

 to be obsolete. Can any correspondent of " N. & 

 Q." inform me during what century, between Min. 

 Felix and the Reformation, this departure from 

 primitive precept and practice began ? M. A. 



Lincolnshire (East). 



" Oh ! the flowery month of June," Sfc. - 

 is the author of a poem commencing — 



•' Oh ! the flowery month of June ! again 

 I hail as Summer's queen. 

 The hills and valleys sing in joy, 

 And all the woods are green." ?

Anon. 



Du7-st. — What part of what verb is this word ? 

 The Times the other day had the phrase, "IZe 

 durst not" do something, meaning, " He did not 

 dare," using durst as the third person singular of 

 the perfect. The Lowland Scotch constantly say, 

 "/ durst nt," meaning, "I have been forbidden, 

 and so do not dare." Here it is the first person 

 singular of the present (?). It does not seem to 

 be used affirmatively, but the phrase " How durst 

 you f " is common in Scotland. Here it is ap- 

 parently the same as " How durest thou ? " 



1st Query. Is durst a (classical) English word 

 at all? 



2nd Query. Is (iwrs/ properly the same as darestf 

 or is it related to dare in the same way as must 

 seems to be to may ? In support of this last 

 hypothesis take the sentences I, Thou, He, may
