NOTES AND QUEBIES. 



[2°^ S. No 82., July 25. '57. 



and Wilkinson a few weeks since, •• Lot 68." is de- 

 scribed as follows : 



"Bona VENTURA de Regimine Conscientiae. Passio 

 satictarum Virginum Euphemise, DorotheaB, Theclae et 

 Erasm£e. Temporibus Octaviani Caesaris Lentulus in 

 partibua Judeae Herodis scripsit Senatoribus Romae sic. 

 MS. of the XV. Century, upon Vellum, original oak hind' 

 ing, \2mo. 



u *^* ^n interesting volume, with the celebrated 

 Epistle containing the description of our Saviour's person, 

 which has excited so much curiosity." 



Queries. As this subject has " excited so much 

 curiosity," may I ask. 1. Has it been referred to 

 or discussed in " N. & Q." ? I find no references 

 to it in the indices. 2. Where can I find a 

 printed account of this epistle ? I have looked 

 through Bohn's edition of Eutropius, but see no 

 allusion to it. 3. What " French king " is re- 

 ferred to in the title transcribed ? Any informa- 

 tion as to these points will be acceptable. Vox. 



" Remarkable Satires." — Can any of your corre- 

 spondents supply the literary history of a small 

 volume now before me, entitled, — 



" Remarkable Satires. The Causidicade. The Trium- 

 virade. The Porcupinade. The Processionade. The 

 'Piseopade. The Scandalizade ; and The Pasquinade. 

 With Notes Variorum. London : Printed for Mrs. New- 

 comb, the Corner of Fountain Court, nearly opposite 

 Exeter Exchange in the Strand. 1760, Price 3s. Gd., 

 sewed." 



The copy before me commences with the bastard 

 title (on first page of sheet b) of The Triumvirade, 

 or Broad Bottomry, a Panegyri-Satiri-Serio- 

 Comi- Dramatical Poem. By Porcupinus Pelagius, 

 Author of the Causidicade. The "Causidicade" is 

 not in the book, although mentioned in the title- 

 page. Any information as to the authorship of 

 the several satires in question, or to contemporary 

 notices of the volume, will be very acceptable to

Quotation in Burton. — 



" Deux ace non possunt, et sex cinque solvere nolunt : 

 Omnibus est notum quatre tre solvere totum." 



Burton quotes these lines, as meaning that 

 fiscal burdens fall most heavily, not on the highest 

 or lowest classes, but on the middle class. Is it 

 known who was the author of them ? 



Henet T. Riley. 



The Chisholm, 8fc. — Will any of your corre- 

 spondents be kind enough to explain the origin 

 and precedence relative to more ordinary titles of 

 the Chisholm (a Scottish), of the O'Connor Don, 

 the Knight of Kerry, &c. in Ireland ? An enu- 

 meration of the existing designations of this kind, 

 and whether attached to certain territorial posses- 

 sions, or descendible in families, would oblige 



Y. B. N. J. 



Wife of Lord High Chancellor Wriothesley . — 

 Who did Thomas Wriothesley, Lord High Chan- 



cellor, Earl of Southampton, who died in 1550, 

 marry ? Her name was " Jane ; " and from his 

 will, it would appear that she was sister to the 

 Earl of Sussex of that day. A. 



" The triple Plea^ — Who was the author of 

 these satirical verses, which I might judge, by the 

 quaintness and raciness of their style, were written 

 at least two centuries ago ? They are probably 

 too well known to the readers of " N. & Q." to 

 require republication. The " plea " runs thus : — 



" Law, Physick, and Divinity, 

 Being in dispute, cou'd not agree 

 To settle which among them three 

 Should have the superiority." 

 And ending : 



" But if men Fools and Knaves will be. 

 They'll be asse-ridden by all three." 



Mine is a printed copy, pasted into a scrap- 

 book, but I do not know from whence it came. 



M. (2.) 



Translations of Bishops. — What were the cir- 

 cumstances attending the first translation of a 

 bishop ? It was that of Formosus, Bishop of 

 Porto, 891. Where can I find the fullest account 

 of these translations ? G. L. 



"The Buried Bride." — Who is the author of 

 The Buried Bride, and other Poems, 8vo., 1839 ? 



K. Inglis. 



The Drury Lane Journal. — I have before me 

 what professes to be the first number of a new 

 periodical published in 1752. It is called Have at 

 You All, or The Drury Lane Journal. By Ma- 

 dam Roxana Termagant. Addressed to Sir Alex- 

 ander Drawcansir, Author of the Covent Garden 

 Journal. Continued every Thursday. 



My question is. Was this really a periodical 

 publication ? and if so, how long did it last ? 



J. O. D. 



Rev. John Stirling. — There was a translation 

 of Terence, Latin and English, by John Stirling, 

 published in 1739. The translator, I believe, was 

 Vicar of Great Gaddesden, Herts, from 1740 to 

 1777. Can you give me any further information 

 regarding him ? Is the name to be found in the 

 catalogue of Cambridge graduates ? R. Inglis. 



Thomas Draper, Citizen and Brewer. — Thomas 

 Draper died before 1653; he is thought to have 

 been a brewer by trade, as well as by company. 

 If this surmise is correct, is his brewery now re- 

 presented by any of the London firms, and which ? 



James Knowles. 



Cranmer Family. — Samuel Cranmer, Alder- 

 man of the Ward of Cripplegate (ob. Sept. 1640), 

 was a brewer of London. Does any one, and 

 which, of the modern London breweries, represent 

 his brewery ? 



Who was Lady Cranmer, who in 1692 was one
