also French and Walloon Churches at Canterburj-, Sand- 

 wich, Norwich, Colchester, &c. They preached their own 

 doctrines, performed their own rites, and practised their 

 own discipline. Latimer pleaded their cause in his Ser- 

 mons. Cranmer procured orders of Council for them, and 

 the cro^vn not only tolerated them in England, but ac- 

 tually pensioned some of their great men abroad," &c. &c. 

 " Jolin h Lasco endeavoured to move the Protector to 

 grant a settlement in England to foreigners by ' argu- 

 ments as well taken from Policy as charity, namely, that 

 hereby a trade and a gainful manufacture would be intro- 

 duced into England.' " — Strype, Mem. Cranmer. 



See fartlier an excellent note on tolei-ation and 

 religious liberty, from which the foregoing is ex- 

 tracted, in vol. ii. pp. 209-10., to the Essay on 

 the Composition of a Sermon of the Rev. John 

 Claude, bj Robert Robinson, London, 1782, 8vo,, 

 2nd edit. G. N. 



In the Zurich Letters (published by Parker So- 

 ciety), iii. 17., is a letter from Cranmer to John a 

 Lasco, inviting him to come over. This letter is 

 dated, London, July 4th, 1548. At p. 187. of the 

 same work in the note is the following : — 



"A Lasco's first visit to England was in Sep. 1548. 

 He then resided six months with Archb. Cranmer at 

 Lambeth, and returned to Embden in the spring of 

 1549 . . . „" &c. 



This, therefore, must be a different person to 

 the one named in the perambulations. K. W. 



Heeeditakt Alias (2"'^ S. x. 220.) — Many of 

 your Glasgow readers will be reminded, under 

 this head, of their townsman, John M'^Ure, who 

 affixes to his History of that city, 1736, his re- 

 markable portrait subscribed " Vera effigies loan- 

 nis M'^Iverus alias Campbell ^tat. suoe 79." Be- 

 sides his own, which he shows was hereditary in 

 his family, M'^Ure furnishes the following exam- 

 ples : — 



" Archil Robertson, alias Mackellar, and 

 John Luke, alias Bristol." 



Places as well as persons appear to have enjoyed 

 this, to us of modern times, unenviable epithet. 

 For instance : — 



" The Wonderful, Lovely, and Royal Rose of Sharon, 

 or a Comfortable Triumphant Song upon the Canticles " 

 (Edin. 1750), is " Compos'd and Written by John Smith, 

 Teacher of a Private English School in Linktown of Abots 

 Hall, alias Arnot." 



In noticing Abbot's Hall, Chambers, in his Ga- 

 zetteer, does not allude to its alias. J. O. 



The following is the title-page of the first edition 

 of one of Archbishop Adamson's earliest works : — 



" DePapistarum Superstitiosis Ineptiis Patricii Adam- 

 sonii Alias Constantini Carmen, Matth. xv. Omnis 

 plantatio, etc. Impressum Edinburgi, per Robertum 

 Lekprevick. Anno 1564." 



The Archbishop inherited both designations 

 from his ancestors. Dionysius Adamson or Con- 

 stantine was town clerk of Perth towards the 

 close of the fifteenth century. He Is mentioned in 



thirteen charters from 1491 to 1500, and is some- 

 times called Adamson, and sometimes Constantine.

Alk and Beer : Barm and Yeast (2"^ S. x. 

 229.) — In Cornwall yeast is always called "barm." 

 The latter is not leaven, which is also commonly 

 used; the strongest brewing is called beer, "strong 

 beer." John Maclean. 



Hammersmith. 



These are the same thing. Home-made yeast is 

 in Lancashire called made barm, to distinguish it 

 from brewer's barm. Barm is not leaven. P. P. 



Fire-places riv Church Towers (2"^ S. x. 

 256.) — Another use is suggested in the following 

 extract from Bloxara% Gothic Aixhitecture, vol. ii. 

 p. 69., 1836 : — • 



" Q. Were the towers of countrj' churches ever appro- 

 priated to any particular use ? 



"A. They were used occasionally as parochial fortresses, 

 to which the inhabitants retired in time of danger. The 

 tower of Rugby church, Warwickshire, built in the reign 

 of Henry the Third, appears to have been erected for this 

 purpose : it is of a square form, very lofty, and without a 

 single buttress to support it ; the lower windows are very 

 narrow, and at a great distance from the ground ; the 

 only entrance was from the church. It has also a fire- 

 place; and altogether seems well calculated to resist a 

 sudden attack." 



E. M. 



In the tower of St. Andrews, Rugby (which is 

 remarkable for having no buttresses), there is a 

 fire-place on the ground floor, the flue of which is 

 carried up in the thickness of the wall, and ends 

 in one of the parapets. A5. 



Suffragan Bishop of Ipswich (2"''S. viii.336.) 

 — Bishop Manning is not an addition to the list 

 in Appendix v. of Registrum Sacrum Anglica- 

 num : he appears in his place in order of conse- 

 cration at p. 77. W. S. N. 



Miss as a Title (2"'^ S. x. 169.) — As this 

 title belongs exclusively to the eldest daughter of 

 the representative of the family, and there is no 

 such thing as " Dowager " Miss, the aunt has to 

 give it up to her niece as a matter of course. 

 This point is well understood among ladies of 

 family, and is of course (as far as it is worth) an 

 annoyance to the aunt. P. P. 



" Paradise of the Soul" (2""^ S. x. 248.) — 

 There is a Paradisus Animce Christianae, by Hors- 

 tius ; also, Paradisus Animm Fidelis, by Blosius ; 

 but both are posterior to the date 1544, mentioned 

 by your correspondent. At that date there was 

 not, I think, any work with the above title, except 

 Hortulus Animce ; which, by the way, was put on 

 the Index with this proviso — " donee corrigatur." 

 {App. Ind. Trid.) The fly-leaves alluded to con- 

 tain, probably, some part of the translation of this 

 book : that is, if, as I understand your correspon-
