NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Dec. 15. 1855. 



Lorde Godd one tliousande ffyve hundred ffower score 

 and nyne, that is to weete, for one whole yere." 



In the same register appears the following 

 curious item of military expenditure : 



" Receaved of the P'shers (parishioners) of Tavystock, 

 towardes a rate made for the setting iforth of souldyers 

 for the guardynge of the Queen's ma'tie's p'son, and to- 

 Avardes the mayntenaunce of the Church this yere, as 

 appeareth by a book of p'ticulars thereof, xxx'^ x' iv^." 



Mustering expenses, incurred by the nation In 

 the great Armada year. F. Phillott. 



Copying Ink (Vol. xi., p. 47.). — I would re- 

 commend Sob to try Lyon's copying ink ; it is 

 fluid, and copies perfectly ; the only fault is that it 

 is pale green at first, but soon changes to a good 

 black. I believe it is made with honey instead of 

 sugar, and does not therefore clog the pen, while 

 it copies equally well. C. H. 



Leeds. 



Ancient Ink ("Vol. xii., p. 352.). — Will J. R. 

 pardon me for reminding him of his quasi promise 

 respecting " various receipts for ink-making of an 

 early date" ? I feel confident that I am not the 

 only reader of "N. & Q." anxious for his com- 

 munication. V. V. 



GiUingham, Norfolk (Vol. xii., p. 383.). — This 

 place is on the river Waveney, a marsh about a 

 mile wide, separating the village from the present 

 course of the river. Although prettily undulated, 

 there is nothing now to produce a " roaring or 

 howling." But the tide still runs up the river to 

 GiUingham, and if in Saxon times it were an 

 estuary, the waves may have made sufficient 

 roaring for the etymology. The adjoining parish 

 to GiUingham is Geldeston, colloquially called, 

 and sometimes formerly spelt, Gelston. No other 

 place in Norfolk or Suffolk begins with " Gil " or 



GiUingham formerly had four churches ; of two 

 there are no remains, of the third the ruins are 

 covered with ivy. The fourth, whose churchyard 

 is only separated from the ruins by a carriage- 

 drive, is a very curious Norman buildinar, admira- 

 bly described and illustrated by the Rev. J. H. 

 Petit in the Journal of Arch. Inst. E. G. R. 



" The heart may break" Sfc. (Vol. xi., p. 105.)- 

 — Your correspondent F. M. E. will find in 

 Childe Harold, canto iii. stanza xxxii. : 

 " And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on."

Leeds. 



John Cleveland (Vol. xii., p. 47.). — Since 

 making the inquiry, the following book has been 

 put into my hands : 



"The Works of Mr. John Cleveland, containing his 

 Poems, Orations, Epistles, collected into one volume, with 

 No. 320.] 



the Life of the Author. London, printed by R. Holt, for 

 Obadiah Blagrave, at the Bear and Star, over against the 

 Little North Door in St. Paul's Churchyard, 1687." 



This edition is not noticed in the answer, neither 

 is it said for what offence he was incarcerated in 

 Yarmouth Gaol, or by what authority. C. J. P. 

 Great Yarmouth. 



[Our correspondent has not consulted Kippis's Bio- 

 graphia Britannica, to which we referred him, where he 

 will tind, that Cleaveland, in 1655, was seized at Norwich 

 as " a person of great abilities, adverse and dangerous to 

 the reigning government." The heads of his examin- 

 ation, preserved in Thurloe's State Papers, 1742, vol. iv. 

 p. 185., are quoted by Kippis.] 



Roman Stations and Roads (Vol. xi., p. 146 ). — 

 MiMMi will find Newton's map of Roman and 

 British Yorkshire furnish what he wants so far as 

 that county is concerned. C. H. 



Leeds. 



Major Andre {ante passim). — Many observa- 

 tions, I believe, occur in your former volumes re- 

 specting the family of poor Major Andre. Are 

 you aware that his relations lived at the Manor 

 House, opposite Brook House, Clapton Gate, and 

 are buried in Hackney Churchyard, where their 

 tombs may be seen near the old tower ? The 

 major's father was, I believe, the last of the name 

 who inhabited the mansion, which is now a school. 



Arthur Bowes. 



Upper Clapton. 



Courtney Family (Vol. xi., p. 450.). — See 

 " Genealogy of the Family of Courtenay," by the 

 Rev. George Oliver, D.D., and Mr. Pitman Jones, 

 Arch, Journal, No. 40., Dec, 1853. 



Pitman Jones. 



Exeter. 



Works on the Reality of the Devil (Vol. xi., 

 pp. 12. 55.). — I have a pamphlet entitled : 



" Der Teufelein des Achtzehnten Jahrhunderts letzea 

 Akt, worin des Emmanuel Swedenborgs demutiges Dank- 

 sagungschreibens kurzlich beantwortet wird. Von M. 

 W. Kindleben, pp. 96. Frankfort J^ 1780." 



Kindleben maintains the personality of Satan. 

 I cannot find the book which he answers among 

 Swedenborg's Works, and shall be glad to be 

 directed to it; and to another, which he quotes 

 with approbation, Traume eines Geistersehers, but 

 whose author he describes only as " Der Philosoph 

 von Mietau." W. AV. H. 



Last of the Palaologi (Vol. xi., p. 312.). — See 

 Lyson's Cornwall, p. 172., and Chambers's Edin- 

 burgh Journal, part xcvii. p. 24., January, 1852. 

 The leaden coffin of Ferdinando was opened on 

 3rd May, 1844, and exhibited a skeleton of pro- 

 digious size, embedded in quicklime. Grseco more.
