NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Oct. 6. 1855. 



Epitaph (Vol. xii., p. 208,). —In the epitaph on 

 Ralph Tyrer, surely the line in Italics — 



" My sister wed me," 

 refers to an academical, not a matrimonial, con- 

 nexion. It merely means that as Cambridge edu- 

 cated him, so Oxford embraced him afterwards. 

 In other words, he was a member of Cambridge, 

 incorporated, or admitted ad eundem, at the sister 

 University. I have no means of referring to au- 

 thorities at the present moment, but I am toler- 

 ably confident I shall find it so when I have. P. B. 



Brighton. 



''Handbook" (Vol. vi., pp. 72. 173.). — With 

 reference to a Query as to the antiquity, &c., of 

 this phrase, I have just stumbled upon a small 

 volume published in 1814, entitled A Handbook 

 for modelling Wax Flowers. This is the earliest 

 use of the phrase I have met with. It is evi- 

 dently, however, only a more Anglicised version 

 of the word " Manual." W. H. L.

 Q."]
