NOTES AND QUERIES. 



413 



the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Master 

 George Fox, the founder of the Quakers, however, as- 

 sumed to himself the merit of having been the means of 

 suppressing this University. " We came to Durham," 

 says he, " where was a man come down from London to 

 set up a college there to make ministers of Christ, as they 

 said. I went with some others to reason with the man, 

 and to let him see, that to teach men Hebrew, Greek, and 

 Latin, and the seven arts, which was all but the teach- 

 ings of the natural man, was not the way to make them 

 ministers of Christ ; for the languages began at Babel ; 

 and to the Greeks, that spake Greek in their mother- 

 tongue, the cross of Christ was but foolishness ; and to 

 the Jews that spake Hebrew as their mother-tongue, 

 Christ was a stumbling-block; and as for the Romans, 

 who had the Latin and Italian, they persecuted the 

 Christians ; and Pilate, one of the Romans, set Hebrew, 

 Greek, and Latin, a-top of Christ when he crucified him ; 

 and Jolin the Divine, who preached the Word that was 

 in the beginning, said that the beast and the whore had 

 power over tongues and languages, and they are as 

 waters. Thus I told him he might see the whore and 

 the beast have power over the tongues, and the many 

 languages which are in Babylon. Now, said I to the 

 man, dost thou think to make ministers of Christ by the 

 natural confused languages which sprang from Babel, are 

 admired in Babel, and set a-top of Christ by a persecutor? 

 Oh no ! So the man confessed to many of these things ; 

 and when we had thus discoursed with him, he became 

 very loving and tender, and after he had considered 

 farther of it, he never set up his college."] 



Henry Justice, Fellow Commoner of Trin. Coll. 

 Cambridge. — This person was convicted of steal- 

 ino[ books from Trinity College Library, in the 

 earlier part of last century, (about 1730, 1 believe), 

 and was sentenced to be transported to his Ma- 

 jesty's Plantations. Of what family was he a 

 member ? What eventually became of him, and 

 when and where did he die ? Henry T. Riley. 



[Henry Justice, of the Middle Temple, was tried at the 

 Old Baifey on Maj' 8, 1736, for stealing books out of 

 Trinity College library, Cambridge. He pleaded, that in 

 the year 1734 he was admitted fellow-commoner of the 

 said College, whereby he became a member of that cor- 

 poration, and had a property in the books, and therefore 

 could not be guilty of felony. The jury found him guilty, 

 and he was sentenced, on May 10, to be transported to 

 some of his Majesty's plantations in America for seven 

 years. Here we lose sight of him.] 



" Armelle Nicolas' Confession." — " Armelle 

 Nicolas " is a name known in German devout vo- 

 lumes, and it is mentioned in the last volume of 

 Wesley's Works. I wish to discover an English 

 poem, translated from her German, called " Ar- 

 melle Nicolas's Confession of Faith:" it begins 

 thus : 



"To the God of my life, in the morning, said she," &c. 

 and I shall be much obliged if any person will let 

 me know where it may be found. C. P. Brown. 



E. I. Club, St. James's Square. 



[There was a French girl of the name of Armelle Ni- 

 colits, born Dec. 19, 1606, and died Oct 24, 1671, whose 

 life was published in France, and an abridged translation 

 in English at Bristol in 1772, entitled Life of Armelle 

 Nicolas, commonly called 21ie Good Armelle, a poor Maid- 



Servant in France who could not read a letter in a book, 

 and yet a noble and happy Servant of the King of Kings. 

 There is no mention of anj' poem by her in this work, nor 

 in the account of her in the Biographic Universelle, Sup- 

 plement, vol. XX. p. 366.] 



Lord Halifax ; Henry Carey ; Edmund Kean. — 

 Henry Carey was said to have been an illegiti- 

 mate son of George Savile, Marquis of Halifax. 

 Is it known who was his mother ? Macaulay says, 

 in one of his last volumes, that Edmund Kean 

 was said to have been a descendant of the same 

 peer. If so, by whom ? and what was the exact 

 relationship (in fact, not in law,) of Kean to 

 George Savile ? Henry T. Riley. 



[Henry Carey, musical composer and poet, was an ille- 

 gitimate son of George Savile, Marquis of Halifax (his 

 mother's name still remains a query), and left a son 

 George Savile Carey, also a lyrist, whose daughter mar- 

 ried Edmund Kean, an architect. The issue of this mar- 

 riage was Edmund Kean, the late celebrated actor.] 



Hieronymus Radiolensis. — Who was Hierony- 

 mus Radiolensis, from whom Southey quotes in 

 The Doctor, vol. v. p. 240., 2nd edition ? 



W. T. M. 



Hong Kong. 



[Hieronymus Radiolensis was a monk of the Order 

 of V allumbrosa in the latter half of the fifteenth century. 

 He was the author of the Miracles of St. Gualbert, in 

 three books, printed in Acta Sanctorum, July 12th. The 

 passage quoted by Southey commences part i. of book iii. 

 p. 440. He also wrote a compendium of the Life of To- 

 relli, in the same work, March 16th, p. 504.1

CARICATURES. 



(2""^ S. ii. 329.) 



The title of the book inquired after by E. H. A. 

 is : 



" A Political and Satj'rical Historj' of the Years 1756, 

 1757, 1758, and 1759, in a series of one hundred humor- 

 ous and entertaining Prints, &c., in two parts." 



The first part contained seventy-five prints, and 

 referred only to the years 1756 and 1757; the 

 second part contained twenty-five prints referring 

 to 1758 and 1759. 



These prints, or the greater part of them, were 

 originally printed and circulated upon cards. 

 Walpole in his Memoirs of Geo. II., vol. ii. p. 68., 

 under the date 1756, says : 



" A new species of satiric prints now first appeared, in- 

 vented by Geo. Townsend ; they were caricatures on cards. 

 The original one, which had amazing vent, was of New- 

 castle and Fox looking at each other, and crying with 

 Peachum in the Beggar's Opera, ' Brother, Brother, we are 

 both in the wrong.' " 



This volume was " Printed for E. Mari^, near 

 St. Paul's." 

 I have a copy of the fifth edition, called vol. i. :
