NOTES AND QUERIES. 



407 



after the visit of the Marquis of Worcester above 

 alluded to. It is said of Marion, that the day 

 after the death of Cinq-Mars, she set out for 

 England, where she married "un riche lord;" but 

 after some time becomin<T a widow, she returned 

 to France with 4000Z. which he left her. 



I shall be much obliged to any reader of " N. 

 & Q.," who is sufficiently acquainted with the 

 English Peerage, to point out to me who the 

 "riche lord" was. 



De Caus was much employed as a mechanician, 

 before he was incarcerated in the Bicetre by the 

 Elector Palatine, Frederic V., who married Eliza- 

 beth, daughter of James I., king of Great Britain.

Letter to '■'■ Chamjnon" Neiospaper. — Will you 

 kindly insert the enclosed in " N. & Q." ? I am 

 desirous of obtaining information as to The Cham- 

 pion newspaper, and the writer, subject-matter, 

 and date of this letter to its editor. II. A. B. 



" Sib, 

 " You have paid much more attention than they 

 deserved to the trifles I have occasionally sent 

 you ; and I really was ashamed to see ' the text 

 of Scripture for a Bishop ' take precedence of 

 your own letter to L'' Erskine. I would have 

 endeavored to make the enclosed letter worth 

 your acceptance; but I feared, if I delayed it 

 longer, it would be too late to appear as a com- 

 plimentary ' testimoniaV on the happy anniversary 

 of his Majesty's accession. 



" I remain. Sir, 



" Yours, &c., Q. 



"P.S. Have you heard the scandalous story of 

 Capt" Hesse, of which his Majesty is now circu- 

 lating copies, in his oivn hand-ivriting, among the 

 elect ? It shall not be lost to the public." 



Andrews of Evesham. — Can any of your readers 

 supply the crest and motto of the Andrews' family, 

 formerly of Evesham, Worcestershire ? The arms, 

 as tliey appear on the tomb of Theophilus An- 

 drews (ob. 1670), in the church of All Saints, 

 Evesham, want both. They are : a saltire em- 

 paling a fesse, indented between three heads. P. 



Dolly Pentirieth. — Having passed some time in 

 Cornwall, near the Land's End, years ago, I of 

 course had often heard of Dolly Pentraeth of 

 ]\Iousehole ; her epitaph had been repeated to me 

 by a weather-beaten old fisherman, of whom I made 

 inquiries respecting the Cornish language ; and I 

 had little more doubt of her personality than I 

 have of my own, and believed in the real existence 

 of her epitaph, though certainly I never saw it, as 

 fii-ndy as I do in that of the current number of 

 " N. & Q." Judge then of my surprise, when I 

 was the other day given to understand that no 

 such epitaph exists ; and that poor Dolly herself

belongs to the region of myth, even more than of 

 legend ! I should be truly glad to learn whether 

 hor tomb and epitaph really nre to be found in 

 Madron churchyard, or in any other parish near 

 Penzance ; for I do not know what I may have to 

 disbelieve next. William Fbaseb, B.C.L, 



Alton, Staflbrdshire 



" The Battle of the Nile" — Who is the author 

 of The Battle of the Nile, a dramatic poem on the 

 Model of the Greek Tragedy? London, 8vo., 

 1799. R. J, 



" Sentimental Love." — Who is the author of the 

 following work ? Sentimental Lone illustrated in 

 Charmides and Theom, and Ase-Neith. Two an- 

 cient tales, 12mo., 1789. R. J.

" The lips is parcel of the mouth (or mind)." — 

 In the Diversions of Purlerj (vol. i. p. 35. of 

 Taylor's edition, London, 1829), we find this quo- 

 tation, " The lips is parcel of the mind ; " with a 

 reference in the foot-note to The Merry Wives of 

 Windsor, Act I. Sc. 4. 



On referring to Shakspeare, we find in Act I. 

 Sc. 1. of the Merry Wives of Windsor, Sir Hugh 

 saying to Slender, " Divers philosophers hold that 

 the lips is parcel of the mouth.'' And in all the 

 editions within our reach the passage is so printed. 



Can any of your readers say on what authority 

 Home Tooke gave the quotation in the form he 

 does ? " Mouth " certainly seems a wrong read- 

 ing, as not only " divers philosophers," but every 

 ordinary man, must hold that the " lips is parcel of 

 the moidh." To hold, on the other hand, that the 

 " lips is parcel of the mind" involves a deep 

 psychological doctrine, in which philosophers may 

 well differ. J. P. T. 



[Ill Theobald's Shafispeare (eil. 1733) the reading is 

 " mind," without any note. In Roswell's Malone, and 

 Collier's, we have " mouth." In the latter there is no 

 comment upon the phrase; in Boswell there is a long 

 note, from which we learn that the old reading is 

 " mouth." " The modern editors read ' parcel of the 

 mind : ' " and a note of Steevens is quoted, in which ho 

 suggests that " this passage might have been designed as 

 a ridicule on another, in John Lyly'a Midns, 1592 : 



' Pet. What lips hath she ! 

 Li. Tush ! Lips are no part of the head, only made 

 for a double -leaf door for the mouth.' "] 



Horse- Chestmd. — Why is a horse-chestnut tree 

 called a horse-chestnut tree ? and why is a sweet 

 chestnut tree, or Spanish chestnut, simply called 

 chestnut tree ? A Kaffib. 



[The horse-chestnut (JEsculus) is so called from the 

 similitude of the fruit to that of the chestnut (^Fagns), and 

 from its being given to horses.]
