NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2"d S. No 48., Nov. 29. '56. 



Oerman Concordance. — Is there any Con- 

 cordance to Luther's translation of the Scriptures 

 ai!cessible to the English student ? Or is a word 

 only to be found by turning over each leaf of the 

 Bible successively ? Abachne. 



Dr. Oeorge Campbell. — In the BiograpTiie 

 Universelle a certain Discours sur les Miracles is 

 attributed to Dr. George Campbell, Professor of 

 Ecclesiastical History at St. Andrew's, born in 

 1696, and deceased in 1757. Am I wrong in con- 

 cluding that there is a confusion in this statement, 

 and that this Dissertation on Miracles should have 

 been attributed to Dr. George Campbell, Princi- 

 pal of Marischal College, Aberdeen, born in 1719 

 and deceased in 1796 ? Can any of your corre- 

 spondents kindly distinguish between these two 

 Dr. George Campbells, and give me any inform- 

 ation as to their writings, their connexion with 

 each other, and their respective descendants ? 



C. W. B. 



[The writer of the article in the Biographie Universelle 

 seems to Lave confounded Dr. George Campbell, Principal 

 of Marischal College, and author of Dissertation on Mira- 

 cles, with Dr. Archibald Campbell, Eegius Professor of 

 Divinity in the University of St. Andrew's, and author of 

 The Authenticity of the Gospel History Justified, and the 

 Truth of the Christian Religion Demonstrated from the 

 Laws and Constitution of Human Nature, 2 vols. 8vo. 

 1759. The other work noticed in the article, Traite sur 

 la Vertu Morale, is attributed by Watt to the Hon. Archi- 

 bald Campbell, the Nonjuror. The best account of Dr. 

 George Campbell will be found ia Chambers's Biog. Diet, 

 of Eminent Scotsmen, i. 175. : see also Chalmers' or Rose's 

 Biographical Dictionary.^ 



Sir Thomas Remington, of Lund, Knt. — Can 

 any of your correspondents give me particulars of 

 Sir Thomas Remington, of Lund, in Yorkshire, 

 living about the year 1647 ; the names, marriages, 

 &c. of his children, of whom he had several, and 

 anything of interest connected with them ? Is 

 the family supposed now to be extinct, and if not 

 who is its present representative ? Any one who 

 could furnish me with a pedigree of the family, 

 or indicate where such could be obtained, would 

 render me a service. T. P.

[There does not appear to be any pedigree of Reming- 

 ton of Lund in the Visitations of Yorkshire. There is 

 one of Remington of Garby, co. Yor.k (Harl. MS. 1487, 

 fol. 491 6) deduced through four generations, of which the 

 last three are of the date 1612. In it is included Sir 

 Robert Remington of Saxay, Bart., who o. s. p., only child 

 of John Remington, son and heir of Richard Remington 

 of Garby, eldest son of Richard Remington of Rascall, in 

 the Forest of Galtress, co. York, Gent, with whom the 

 pedigree commences. No arms are assigned in the Visit- 

 ation pedigree to the Remingtons. In Burke's Armory 

 the Remingtons of Lund are named, and the arms as- 

 signed to them are, Barry of twelve, argent and azure ; 



over all a bend gules. Crest : a hand erect, holding a 

 broken til ting-spear, all proper.] 



Marazion. — Kingsley states in Yeast a Pro- 

 blem, p. 255., that Marazion, a town in Cornwall, 

 was founded by Jews, and that its name means 

 the Bitterness of Sion. On what authority ? 



Abhba. 



[" Jlarazion (vulgo, Market- jew') the sea-coast market," 

 says Dr. Pryce in his Cornish Vocabulary. The origin of 

 the word, however, seems to have baffled our antiquaries. 

 '^ 3Iarca-iewe, signifies in English, Market on the Thurs- 

 day " (Norden, p. 39.) " Marcaiew, of Marhas Diew, in 

 English, the Thursdaies market; for then it useth this 

 traffike." (Carew, p. 156.) " Marhiu, Forum Jovis, quod 

 ibi Mercatus die Jovis habeatur." (Camden.) " The 

 name of Market-jew is the original and proper designa- 

 tion of that town, which had a market conceded to it in a 

 concession to the Mount ; while the name of Marazion is 

 the designation only of a new, a Jewish, and a western 

 part." (Leland, Itin., vii. 117.) See Polwhele's Cornwall, 

 iii. 222. Supp. p. 13."] 



Quotation wanted : " Carmine di superi," Sfc. — 

 Where am I to find — 



" Carmine di superi placantur, carmine Manes " ?

Martin Expence. — I should be glad if one of 

 your readers would give some solution to the fol- 

 lowing, which I copied from a brass plate in the 

 Lady Chapel in Clewer Church some time since : 



" He that liethe under this stone 

 Shott with a hundred men himselfe alone ; 

 This is trew that I do saye. 

 The niatche was shott in Ould Fielde at Bray. 

 I will tell before you go hence 

 That his name was Martine Expence." 



II. c. p. 



[None of the toxophilite brotherhood seem to know 

 any thing more of Martin Expence or of his marvellous 

 exploits, than what is told in the indifferent lines of his 

 epitaph, namely, that he was a famous archer who shot 

 a match against a hundred men, near Bray iu Berkshire.] 



COACH MISERIES. 



(2'«i S. ii. 126. 313.) 



Some allusions having been made in " N. & 

 Q." to the miseries and inconveniences of coach 

 travelling in former days, as compared with the 

 comfort, speed, and facilities of the present rail- 

 way system, I am tempted to place on record a 

 memorable journey made by myself in 1814 ; the 

 circumstances attending which were so extraor- 

 dinary, that I fear they will hardly obtain credit 

 with those who have been born since the intro- 

 duction of railways, especially when it is considered 

 that the same journey, which here took two days
