NOTES AND QUEEIES. 



C2«d S. Vm. July S0. '£9. 



Testament, the recent publication of which is 

 mentioned in the British Quarterly Review for 

 October," 1858 ? It will be interesting also to 

 learn, whethef it is to be found in the old MS. 

 Bible which Professor Tischendorf, of Leipsic, in 

 a letter addressed to the Saxon Minister of Public 

 Instruction in March last, announced as having 

 been by him discovered at Cairo, and as being as 

 old as, if not older, than the Vatican MS. Eric. 

 . Ville Marie, Canada. 



^{nor €L\xniti, 

 Gloucestershire Churches. — J. W. G. Gdtch 

 would feel very grateful for any information, 

 architecturally or otherwise, connected with any 

 of the Gloucestershire churches, which he is at 

 present engaged in photographing. He has to 

 thank several correspondents who have kindly 

 responded to his request in a former number of 

 " N. & Q.," but still seeks for farther memoranda 

 from those more conversant with the county than 

 himself. A line addressed, 6. Norfolk Terrace, 

 Gloucester, will be duly acknowledged. 



Dundalk Accommodation. — An ofBcer serving 

 in William III.'s time says, he lodged in his 

 clothes with Dundalk accommodation, at one of 

 the villages. What was " Dundalk accommoda- 

 tion," and whence the origin of the term ? * O'C. 



Harding Family. — Can any of your readers 

 inform me from what branch of the family James, 

 a schoolmaster residing in the neighbourhood of 

 Lanercost Priory, Cumberland, was descended? 

 He was interred there in 1788, aged seventy-four 

 years, and is, I apprehend, the same James who 

 was christened there in 1714, and described as a 

 son of Christopher Harding. Alpha. 



Scutch Mills in Ireland. — I have a very well- 

 executed MS. volume by Peter Besnard, with 

 pen-and-ink drawings of several mills, and en- 

 titled " Front Views of Mills appropriated to the 

 use of Scutching Machinery in the Provinces of 

 Leinster, Munster, and Connaught" (1819). It 

 contains likewise ground plans and descriptive 

 particulars ; and it is dedicated to the " Trustees 

 of the Linen and Hempen Manufactures of Ire- 

 land." Is any similar volume relative to Ulster in 

 existence ? Abhba. 



Story of Marshal Turenne. — What is the story 

 alluded to by Pope, in his " Epilogue to the Sa- 

 tires," in the passage beginning — 



" It angered Turenne ooce upon a day " ? 

 I have looked into the notes to several editions, 

 and do not find the anecdote. Perhaps some of 

 your readers will kindly refer me to it. A. A. 



[* Will our correspondent furnish the reference where 

 this term occurs ? — Ed. ] 



Revivals of 1810. — Can anyone refer me to an 

 account of the great Methodist revival which took 

 place in or about 1810 ? E. H. D. D. 



Brathwaite. — Can any of your readers inform 

 me of the authority for the following Brathwaite 

 coat of arms ? " Or, a horn sable, with a ban- 

 derick of the same." I have found it in vol. xv. 

 of the Beauties of Ev gland and Wales, fol. 218, 

 It was published by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, 

 and written by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson. He states 

 " from whom {i.e. Brathwaite of Ambleside) the 

 Brathwaites of Warcop and Burneshead were de- 

 scended." From the Harl. MSS. the Brathwaites 

 of Ambleside, Warcop, and Burneshead had for 

 •their coat of arms, "Gules, on a chevron argent, 

 three cross crosslets, fitchee sable." Joseph. 



Sir Stephen Jenins, Lord Mayor of London in 

 1508. — The pedigree of this city worthy's family, 

 or any particulars of him or his family, from 1500 

 to 1700, would much oblige a constant reader. 



J. F. C. 



Booksellers' Lists. — When did the practice of 

 booksellers printing, at the end of books, lists of 

 the various works published by them first com- 

 mence ? 



Would it not be doing a good work for English 

 Bibliography to print some specimens of the ear- 

 liest of these lists in " N. &^Q. ?" If accompanied 

 by brief notes illustrative of the books — the 

 authors — peculiarities of editions, &c., such arti- 

 cles, it is obvious, would add greatly to the value 

 of " N. & Q." as a Bibliographical Repertory. 



B.L. 



Greek Word. — *' That Greek word which sig- 

 nifies that which will endure to be held up to and 

 judged by the sunlight," writes Trench {On the 

 Study of Words, 7th edit., p. 6.) What is the 

 Greek word alluded to ? Vryan Rheged. 



Lady Arabella Denny. — It appears from the 

 Dublin Freeman's Journal (July 20, 1765) that — 



"The Eight Hon. Ladj' Arabella Denny was compli- 

 mented with her freedom of said Guild [of Merchants], 

 as a mark of their esteem for her Ladyship, for her many 

 great charities and constant care of the poor foundling 

 children in the City Workhouse ; and [that] Friday 

 being Assembly Day, her Ladj'ship was ordered to be 

 presented with the freedom of this City [of Dublin] in a 

 silver box." 



My object in sending these particulars is, to 

 ascertain whether any other females, in Dublin or 

 elsewhere, have been similarly honoured. Lady 

 Arabella Denny (2''* S. i. 190;) appears to have 

 been a real philanthropist. Abhba. 



Earldom of Melfort. — Beatson's Political Index, 

 part ii. p. 170., states that the Scotch earldom of 

 Melfort was forfeited in 1G90. In CoUen's ed. of 

 Debrett, 1849, p. 889, the year is 1695. Which 

 is correct ? O'C.
