NOTES AND QUERIES. 



145 



names may be considered the legal one." The 

 clergyman who officiated very naturally decides in 

 favour of the legality of the baptismal name, which 

 was given by mistake, and which it is desired to 

 repudiate. J. P. A. 



Hoxton New Town. 



Dr. South on Extempore Prayers. — Having 

 received no reply to my Query (Vol. ix., p. 515.) 

 concerning South's authority for the statement 

 referred to, I beg to be allowed to put my Query 

 in another shape, and to ask whether the anecdote 

 is to be found in any writer or writers anterior to 

 South ? W. H. Gunner. 



Winchester. 



'■'■Never ■more" ^c. — In the year 1849, while 

 serving in India, a review of a volume of poetry 

 met my eye in a Plymouth newspaper, embodying 

 an extract from one of the small poems contained 

 in the work entitled Cistus Leaves, the first verse 

 of which ran thus : 



" Never more 

 Shall my footsteps press the heather, 



Lightly by the side of thine, 

 As that sunset hour together, 



Forth we walk'd where streamlets shine — 

 Pilgrims twain to Poesy's shrine — 

 Never more ! " 



I cannot recall either the title of the work or the 

 name of the newspaper in which I saw the review; 

 but it is possible that some of your numerous 

 readers may kindly oblige me by stating through 

 your columns how or where I can procure the 

 work, or who the author may have been.

" Trafalgar" Spc. — Can you inform me who is 

 the author of the following drama : Trafalgar, or 

 the Sailors Play ; printed at Uxbridge, 1807. I 

 have some reason for supposing that the author of 

 this play was W. Perry, M. D. of Hillingdon, near 

 Uxbridge ; but I would be obliged to any of your 

 readers who could inform me with certainty who 

 is the author. 



In the Gentleman's Magazine, 1806, p. 154., there 

 is a short notice of a work of Dr. Perry's, Dia- 

 logues in the Shades. There is also some farther 

 information regarding him in a letter from himself 

 to the editor of the Gentleman's Magazine for 

 1803, p. 218. In the same magazine for 1807, 

 there is also a notice of the play I have mentioned.

Murray of Broughton. — There are two or three 

 steps in the pedigree of this family I am anxious 

 to obtain. Douglas, in his Scottish Peerage, says 

 Cuthbert Murray, of Cockpool, died in 1493, 

 having married Mariote, daughter of Menzies of 

 Weem. Sir John Murray, his eldest son, died in 

 1526 (whom did he marry ?) ; and Mungo Murray, 

 his second son, of Broughton, was living in 1508 ; 



his descendant, John Murray, of Broughton, 

 married, in 1630, Marion, third daughter and co- 

 heiress of Sir James Murray, of Cockpool. The 

 names and marriages of the two or three genera- 

 tions of the Broughton branch between those latter 

 two dates I want. Y. S. M. 



English Words derived from the Saxon. — Is there 

 a dictionary of English words derived from the 

 Saxon ? If so, what is its description, and where 

 is it published ? Botolph. 



Artificial Breeding of Salmon from Spawn. — 

 Who first discovered or projected the idea of the 

 artificial breeding of salmon from spawn, and 

 where was it first carried out ? Was the dis- 

 coverer a Frenchman or an Englishman ? What 

 connexion had the late Sir Francis M'Kenzie, of 

 Gairloch, with the discovery ? Was it discovered 

 and practised prior to 1838 ? Anon. 



The Russian Langtiage. — Is this not a dialect 

 of the Slavonic, and the most pure of them all : 

 the Polish being much corrupted with Latin and 

 German ? Are the differences great between the 

 pure Russian and the Bohemian, Moravian, and 

 Hungarian ? Is not the last called the Slavack ? 

 The Bulgarian is the roughest, I am well aware, 

 of all the dialects ; and the Bosnian and Servian 

 the most agreeable in sound : in what do they 

 differ from the Croatian? Is it not contended 

 that the Russian approaches the Asiatic rather 

 than the European tongues? has it not more 

 affinity with the Greek, Latin, and German, than 

 with the languages of the East ? Whence were 

 the Russian letters, so much more numerous than 

 the northern Runic ? Until a.d. 803, it is well 

 known the Russian, Bohemian, and Illyrian Slaves 

 had no alphabet ; as the introduction of letters 

 then was under the reign of the Greek Emperor 

 Michael, consisting of some new letters with the 

 Greek characters a little altered at present. What 

 are the oldest Russian writings extant ? Who 

 was the author of The Present State of Russia, 

 translated from the High Dutch, 1723? This 

 last work contains an accurate account of the pro- 

 ceedings of Peter the Great against his only son 

 by his first wife, whom he secretly murdered in 

 prison, together with a relation of many of his 

 cruelties ? Cyrus Redding. 



Ora-ngeism. — In a small work published by 

 Gilbert, Paternoster Row, London, 1844 {A Ritual 

 and Illustrations of Freemasonry, Sfc), I find the 

 following account of the history of Orangeism. 

 Can any of your correspondents tell me if it is 

 correct ? 



" The order was instituted in the year 1794, and or- 

 ganised into lodges in 1795 by Thomas Wilson, who was 

 a clandestine mason in Dyon, county of Tyrone, on the 

 estate of Lord Calladon. It first consisted of only one
