NOTES AND QUEEIES. 



[2nds. N«80., JuLYll.'57. 



on one side a winged lion, with a glory round liis 

 head, and his paw resting on an open book, sur- 

 rounded by the inscription : "O AriOS MAPK02." 

 Beneath the figure were marks which appeared to 

 be the Roman numeral IIII. On the other side, 

 round which ran the legend, *' liiAN KOPNHAI02 O 

 AOTH," were the words " TOPNE2IA EEIHNTA." I 

 supposed the coin to be Venetian, but can find no 

 mention of a Cornelius high in office in that state. 

 Can any of your subscribers inform me what the 

 coin is ? and when and where it was struck ? 



E. K. 

 Oxford. 



Dark or Darke Family. — I ^m curious to 

 know the derivation and history of the surname 

 Dark or Darke, which is common in Gloucester- 

 shire and Worcestershire. 



It has occurred to me that perhaps it may be a 

 corruption of D'arc, which (from a communication 

 in your seventh volume, signed " W. Sneyd ") 

 appears to have been a surname of some note in 

 France, 



I should feel particularly obliged for any in- 

 formation or hints, or for the mention of any 

 work likely to assist me. A. D. 



" Which the world will not willingly let die^ — 

 What is the origin of this very often-used expres- 

 sion ? James J. Lamb. 



Underwood Cottage, Paisley. 



Thomas Tngledew. — Can any reader of " N. & 

 Q." give an account of the family or birth-place 

 of Thomas Ingledew, a clerk of the diocese of 

 York, chaplain to William of Waynflete, Bishop 

 of Winchester, who, in 1461, founded two Fellow- 

 ships in Magdalen College, Oxford ? 



The statutes of Magdalen College given by the 

 founder, William of Waynflete, in 1479, printed, 

 by desire of her Majesty's Commissioners for In- 

 quiring into the State of the University of Oxford, 

 from a MS. in the Bodleian Library, contain the 

 tenor of an ordinance, intituled " Compositio Ma- 

 gistri Thoma; Ingeldew," a clerk of the diocese 

 of York, gave to Magdalen College a sum of 

 money to be laid out in the purchase of land for 

 founding two Fellowships. The two Fellows were 

 to celebrate for the souls of Thomas Ingeldew and 

 of John Bowyke and Eleanor Aske, and it was 

 provided that Thomas Ingeldew's cousin, Richard 

 Marshall, of University College, should hold one 

 of the Fellowships. C. J. D. Ingledew. 



Northallerton. 



Henry Clements. — Is anything known of this 

 person ? In 2°* S. iii. 496. it is stated that an 

 edition of the Epistolce Obscurorum Virorum was 

 "printed in 1710, ' impensis Hen. Clements, ad 

 insigne Lun% falcate in caemeterio sedis Divi 

 Pauli.' " 



In the chained copy of Dean Comber on the 



Liturgy, at Great Malvern (v. 1'* S. viii. 206. 

 273.), is a transcript of a letter (given at length in 

 1** S. X. 174.) from " Henry Clements," and dated 

 " Oxford, September 3, 1701." It long ago oc- 

 curred to me that the writer of this letter (which 

 commences " I am order'd by a person whose 

 name I am obliged to conceale to direct Dr. 

 Comber's workes to you," &c.) was probably a 

 bookseller, who was commissioned to send the vo- 

 lume direct to the Vicar of Great Malvern, in 

 order that the donor's name might not transpire. 

 Can it be shown to be probable that the Henry 

 Clements who dates from Oxford in 1701, is the" 

 Hen. Clements of St. Paul's Churchyard, 1710 ? 



This Query reminds me that your own pages 

 furnish a Reply to Mr. Norris Deck's inquiry 

 (l"* S. X. 174.), whether there is " any later in- 

 stance than this of 1701, of books being chained 

 in churches." In 1" S. viii, 453., your corre- 

 spondent P. P. had stated that " a Preservative 

 against Popery, in 2 vols., dated 1738," is chained, 

 together with Foxe and Jewell, in Leyland 

 Church, Lancashire. Ache. 



Thermometrical Query. — Upon an old spirit 

 thermometer I observed the other day a -^ placed 

 at No. 16. below of Reaumur, with the figures 

 1776 immediately opposite. 



Query, does that infer that in the winter of the 

 period alluded to we had a temperature of such 

 severity ? R. F. 



Marshall's Collections for St. Pancras. — The 

 Rev. John Marshall, LL.B., who was Vicar of 

 St. Pancras, Middlesex, about the years 1690 or 

 1700, made and left a large collection in MSS., 

 &c., for a History of St. Pancras. Can you, or 

 any of your readers, inform me in whose possession 

 it is now ? R. W. 



Rygges and Wharpooles. — Grafton, in his 

 Abridgement of the Chronicles of England, 8vo., 

 Lond. 1571, in his notice of the year 1551, says : 



" This year were taken at Quinborough and Graves- 

 end, and in divers other places, many monstrous and 

 great Fishes, whereof some were called Dolphyns, some 

 Rygges, and some Wharpooles." 



The dolphin is a fish described by Pennant in his 

 Zoology : but where can any account be found of 

 the fish here denominated Rygges and Whar- 

 pooles ? P. P. 



" Sis sus, sis Divus" Sfc. — Perhaps some of 

 your correspondents may be able to trace the 

 hexameter quoted by Coleridge in his preface to 

 his Aids to Reflection. It is this : 



" Sis sus sis Divus, sum caltha et non tibi spiro." 



I have hunted for it in vain in Riley's Dictionary 

 of Quotations, and in the Indexes of Ovid, Martial, 

 Juvenal, and Persius, , Etc.
