ling. It is at Eton College Chapel, and is as 

 follows : — 



" Orate p Aiab^ Walter! Hangh Margarete & Isabelle 

 vxorum eius et p quib'J dcils [i. c. dictus] Walterus orare 

 tend' [». e. tenetur] qui quylm Walterus obijt xxvij° die 

 novembris Anno diii Millmo CCCCC° t° quor' AiabS 

 ppiciet' de ? " 



The insertion here of the word 0}-are In con- 

 nection with tenetur clearly shows that the ex- 

 pression is to be rendered (as originally suggested 

 by the editor of " N. & Q.") by " bmind to pray f 

 it is perhaps equivalent to the exhortation " to 

 pray for all Christian souls," which is often found 

 in English inscriptions on brasses. H. Haines. 



Gloucester. 



" Et pro quibus tenentur." Any suggestion of 

 your learned correspondent F. C. H. deserves 

 consideration, but I thiuk there can be little 

 doubt that the explanation you have given is the 

 correct one. Certainly it is the meaning I should 

 be led to attach to the phrase from the following 

 amplification of it preserved by Blomefield, Nor- 

 wich, S. John Maddermarket. " On a brass on a 

 stone by the altar," 



"Orate pro animabus Thome Caus," &c. &c. " Johanne 

 et Helene Uxorum ejus, qui quidem Johannes ab hae luce 

 migravit xiii<» die Sept A" diii 1560, et pro quibus idem 

 Thomas orare tenetur, quorum animabus," &c. 



I have met with the expression in old Latin 

 wills. The following is the nearest translation 

 that I remember to have seen. It is from a will 

 dated 1505 : — 



"Itm. I will have a honest secular prest of good name 

 and good fame to sing and py for my faders sooUe my 

 moders solle my soUe, &c." " And for all the solles that 

 I and my said fader and moder are beholden to."

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Boy's Play Booh of Science, including the various 

 Manipulations and Arrangements ef Chemical and Philo- 

 sophicdt Apparatus required for the successful Performance 

 of Scientific Experiments in illustration of the Elementary 

 JSranches of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. By John 

 Henry Pepper. Illustrated with upwards of 400 Engrav- 

 ings. (Routledge.) 



The success of Mr. Pepper as a popular lecturer on 

 scientific subjects is well known. The interest which 

 his lectures excited in the minds of many of his youthful 

 auditors was shown by the numerous inquiries made by 

 them as to the mode of performing his experiments. 

 These inquiries Mr. Pepper now" answers in the present 

 volume, containing a series of philosophical experiments 

 detailed in such a manner — the manipulations being ar- 

 ranged in a methodical, simple, and popular form — that 

 any young person may perform them with the greatest 

 facility. When we add that they are made yet more 

 plain by upwards of four hundred illustrations from Mr. 

 Pepper's 'sketches, there can be little doubt that The 

 Boy's Play Book of Science will take a high place among 

 books of this class — for we can conceive no more welcome 

 present to any intelligent boy. 



Messrs. Smith & Elder obviously do not agree with 

 Addison, that it is not in mortals to command success; for 

 by the arrangements of their new periodical. The Comhill 

 Magazine, it is clear they mean to win it. Passing over 

 their shrewd selection of an editor, it is obvious from the 

 character of the articles, the reputation of the writers, 

 the illustrations, paper and presswork, that they intend 

 the Cornhill Magazhie to bo one of the permanent institu- 

 tions of the country. It is a marvel of cheapness, and a 

 model of excellence. 



Christmas Books. — We have another small batch of 

 these publications of the season yet to dispose of. Among 

 these, Christmas Week, a Christmas Tale, by Professor 

 Christmas, for which we are indebted to Messrs. Black, 

 is a cheerful and interesting story pleasantly told. To 

 Messrs. Bell & Daldy we owe Nursery Tales by Mrs. 

 Motherly, a pleasant companion to the very successful 

 Nursery Poetry of the same writer, and which is as pret- 

 tily illustrated as that was ; and also, The Children's Picture 

 Book of Scripture Parables, loritten in simple Language, by 

 J. Erskine Clarke, M.A., with IG large Illustrations by 

 Warren, and The Cfnldren's Pilgrim's Progress, with 16 

 large Ilhistrations by Wehnert, both of which will find 

 favour with many juvenile readers for the beauty of the 

 plates. Messrs. Routledge have added to their stock of 

 cheap Christmas Books, A Christmas Hamper, by Mark 

 Lemon, containing some half dozen pleasant Tales of the 

 Season ; and what is surely most appropriate, The Dinner 

 Question ; or. How to Dine Well and Economically, by 

 Tabitha Tickletooth, which is an excellent shilling's 

 worth.
