NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2«d S. NO 41., Ocfr. 11. '56. 



Fesses, Crosses, Lions, Eagles, Fleurs-de-Hs, &c. 

 I have found Glover's "Ordinary," in Berry's 

 Encycloptjedia of Heraldry, very useful.

Heraldic (2""^ S. ii. 249.) — O'Mallby inquires 

 whether a person descended from the same branch 

 of a family as J. J., grantee, in 1600, of arms 

 granted to said J. J., and limited to his grand- 

 father's male descendants, could use the same 

 crest with J, J. ? The confusion in the inquiry 

 is great ; but it is clear that granted honours ai'e 

 limited by the patent granting them, whether 

 arms or crest, which does not always accompany 

 arms. Lancastriensis. 



Judge Jessop (2"'^ S. ii. p. 249.) — "William 

 Jessop of Bromehall, co. York, was a Bencher of 

 Gray's Inn, Treasurer and Commissioner of the 

 Alienation Office, one of the King's Judges for 

 Chester, and nine times elected M.P. for Aldbo- 

 rough in Yorkshire. He married Mary, only issue 

 of James Darcy of Sedbury (created Aug. 1, 

 1721, Baron Darcy of Navan in Ireland), by his 

 first wife, Bethia, daughter of George Payler, of 

 Nunmonkton, Esq., which Bethia died in childbed 

 Nov. 19, 1671, aged eighteen years and eight 

 days. William Jessop, who died Nov. 15, 1734, 

 aged seventy years, and was buried in the chancel 

 of the parish church of Sheffield, had issue one 

 son and four daughters. The son, James Jessop, 

 succeeded by limitation to the title of Lord Darcy 

 of Navan, on the death of his grandfather, July 19, 

 1731, and assumed the name of Darcy ; but he 

 died unmarried, June 15, 1733, aged twenty-six 

 years, when his sisters became his coheirs. Both 

 lords are buried at Gilling in Richmondshire.

The Lord Dean ofYorl (2"^ S. ii. 171.) — I 

 have been unable to discover the name of the suf- 

 fragan who, according to Strype, was Dean of 

 York. John Young, who was Master of the Rolls 

 and Dean of York, died in 1516, and has not, to 

 the best of my knowledge, been identified with 

 John Young, the Suffragan Bishop of Callipolis. 

 John Thornburgh, who at the end of the same 

 century was successively Bishop of Limerick and 

 Bristol, was permitted to hold the deanery of 

 York in commendam, but he can hardly be the 

 person who is alluded to in Strype's Amials, sub 

 anno 1597, as " an old suffragan." 



In one case only have I found the dean honoured 

 with the title of Lord. In Nov. 1534, John 

 Sheffield leaves to Brian Higden " my Lord Dean, 

 my chalece, my best corporaxe case, and my best 

 corporaxe in it." The earliest decanal leases com- 

 mence in the latter part of the reign of Elizabeth, 

 and in them the grantee is always termed " the 

 right worshipful the Deaii." This form is still 



adhered to, and none of the officials of the chapter 

 have ever heard of the existence of any other. 



I am inclined to think that the title of " My 

 Lord," when applied to the Dean of York, was 

 one merely of respect, although in some cases per- 

 haps the offices in the State which the deans 

 occasionally held would entitle them to that ho- 

 nourable appellation. It may, however, be readily 

 accounted for by the high position which those 

 dignitaries occupied in their own church. There 

 they had beneath them a sub-dean, a body of 

 nearly forty canons, with vicars choral, and other 

 officers innumerable. In consequence of its im- 

 portance very many distinguished men have held 

 the deanery : four cardinals have enjoyed the 

 office, and no less than twenty-three of the deans 

 have been elevated to the Episcopal Bench. 



SOCIDS DUNELM. 



Sandys' s " Ovid" (2"'' S. ii. 255.) — My copy of 

 this work, having 1632 in printed and engraved 

 titles, mentions King Charles's " acceptance of my 

 Travels" when '■'■our hope," — but why should this 

 be turned into " trav«?ls," and referred to 2^ former 

 edition of the Ovid, which does not appear, to have 

 any dedication in the incomplete editions pub- 

 lished when Charles was Prince ? Geo. Sandys 

 also published Travels, in the plain sense of the 

 word, in 1615, republished 1621, 1627, &c. ; and 

 as the Censura Literaria gives the remarkable 

 Dedication to the Prince (Charles) in this 3rd 

 edition, there can be little doubt of the same 

 having appeared in the two editions published 

 when Charles was the " hope," and that this is the 

 Dedication referred to in the Ovid of 1632. 



Lancastriensis. 



Bradshaw of Darcy Lever (2"" S. ii.249.)— The 

 locality, as printed, is inaccurately given. The 

 pedigree was duly entered in the Lancashire 

 Visitation of 1664 (c. 37., Coll. Arm.), and con- 

 tinued to the present time, by the grandchildren 

 of James Bradshaw, Esq., mentioned in the books 

 of modern entries. Arms duly allowed in both 

 cases. Lancastriensis. 



Musical Notation : Dr. Gnnntlett (2"'> S. ii. 90.) 

 — As accuracy in quotation is always advocated 

 in your valuable publication, may I be allowed 

 space to correct the reference made by Dr. 

 Gauntlett to one of my works ? The title of 

 the book, in brief, is The Sketcher's Manual, or 

 the whole Art of Picture-making reduced to the 

 simplest Principles, &c. ; and arrogant as the title 

 may be, or appear, I have endeavoured to explain 

 the subject in the simplest language ; no such 

 " hard " words as " praxis " occurring throughout. 

 After referring to pictorial effect as the quality 

 which distinguished a picture from a map, I asked : 

 " la what does this magical power consist ? Is 

 there any work in which it is explained or in-
