Collar ofSS. (Vol. iv., p. 147.).^ — In answer to 

 the request of Mr. E. Eoss, respecting effigies 

 having a collar of SS., I beg to inform you that 

 in the church of St. Lawrence, Isle of Thanet, 

 is a brass of Nicholas Manston, Esq., a.d. 1444, 

 who wears the above decoration. Near St. Law- 

 rence, is the hamlet of Manston, in which is an 

 pld farmhouse called Manston Court, attached to 

 which are the ruins of a chapel. 



Query : Who was Nicholas Manston ? Cantok.

Receiving the *' N. & Q." only in monthly parts, 

 I was, till last week, unacquainted with the article 

 of your correspondent U. U., from Baltimore. 

 This ignorance, however, has been attended with 

 the advantage of the very decisive information on 

 the matter of inquiry by B. B., as far as the Bod- 

 leian Library, Oxford, is concerned. I am relieved 

 by it from the necessity of describing more particu- 

 larly the copy of the first, and Roman, Expurga- 

 tory of 1607 ; for the copy in my possession agrees 

 exactly in title with that of the Bodleian. Of the 

 -genuineness of the latter, the proof is as demon- 

 strative as anything historical can be. I have 

 the same assurance of the genuineness of mine. 

 It was in the possession of the celebrated and 

 intelligent collector, J. G. Michiels, as his auto- 

 graph, with the year 1755 attached, testifies. The 

 title, as given in my Literary Policy, has indeed 

 -a trifling error in punctuation, whether my own 

 or the printer's, but from simple oversight, as in 



some cases fas est obrepere somnum. There was, 

 however, and could be, no error as to the meaning 

 of Brasichellen., of which Catalani, besides others, 

 had given me information sufficiently correct in 

 his De Magistro S. Pal. 



These observations will not, however, satisfy 

 the ivant of your transatlantic correspondent so 

 completely as I trust I am enabled, and shall be 

 much pleased to do ; for I have likewise the cele- 

 brated counterfeit, of which I have given an ample 

 account in my forecited volume ; and the differ- 

 ence between it and the original is sensibly evident 

 on a synoptical comparison. But other marks, 

 where this is impracticable, may be adduced ; and, 

 in the title itself, Avithout depending upon the 

 minutice of punctuation, and without any reference 

 to the figures in the frontispiece, which are plainly 

 not the same impression, in both copies, the last 

 line, svPERiORVM permissv, which, in the genuine 

 book measures 2J inches, in the counterfeit mea- 

 sures 2^ ; therefore, shorter by -Z^. In the hody of 

 the work, in the counterfeit the letter-press occu- 

 pies more space than the genuine. Taken at a 

 venture (and a right-hand page is preferred, be- 

 cause the number of the page, and the catchword, 

 come in one perpendicular line), I examined 

 p. 163. The height in the genuine is 5\ inches ; 

 in the counterfeit, 5| ; the increase, f . The width 

 of the page appears to be in proportion. In the 

 preliminary matter of the genuine copy tlie De 

 Correctione ends with the line, " eos corrigere, 

 atque purgare." The counterfeit varies. The last 

 unnumbered page, indeed, the terminating line, of 

 what is prefatory, is, "Palatio Apostolico anno 

 salutis 1607." The counterfeit here likewise varies. 

 I have another volume closely identical ; ^ of 

 which, because it is far from common, I will give 

 the title entire. It is well known, but not easily 

 detected :
