" On the green slope 

 Of a romantic glade we sat us down, 

 Amid the fragrance of the yellow broom, 

 While o'er our heads the weeping birch-tree stream'd 

 Its branches, arching like a fountain-shower. 

 That look'd towards the lake" —

Low in the ground."

"Her mouth a rosebud filed with snow'^ (Vol. x., 

 p. 288.). — In answer to C. H. C, I send a short 

 parasfraph from The London Journal of August 26, 



1854: 



"An Ancient Lyric. — There is a quaint grace in this 

 lyric, perfect in its kind, characteristic of the song-writing 

 of the time. It is from a work entitled An Hour's Re- 

 creation in Music, by Richard Alison, published in 1G06 : 



*' There is a garden in her face, 



Where roses and white lilies grow ; 

 , A heavenly Paradise is that place, 

 Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow. 

 There cherries grow, that none may buy. 

 Till cherry ripe themselves do cry. 

 ** These cherries fairly do inclose 

 Of orient pearl a double row. 

 Which, when her lovely laughter shows, 



They look like rosebuds fili'd with snow. 

 Yet there no peer nor prince may buy. 

 Till cherry ripe themselves do cry. 



" Her eyes, like angels, watch them still : 

 Her brows like bended bows do stand, 

 Threatening with piercing frowns to kill 

 All that approach with eye or hand, 



Those sacred cherries to come nigh. 

 Till cherry ripe themselves do cry."

Reynolds, Bishop of Hereford (Vol. vi., p. 100.). 

 — In one of your Numbers for July, 1852, a cor- 

 respondent asks about the bishops who were de- 

 prived by Queen Elizabeth (a.d. 1559), amongst 

 whom was Thomas Reynolds. I may just mention 

 that a family of that name was settled for many 

 years at the New House, Elmly Lovett, Wor- 

 cestershire, the remains of which are only left. 

 There was a tradition preserved in the family 

 that the house referred to was built for a nephew 

 of a bishop, and he, a Bishop of Hereford. Can 

 this give any clue to your correspondent's 

 Queries ? 



The house and estate were sold some years since 

 in consequence of the failure in male heirs of the 

 family. This information may possibly meet the 

 eye of the present holder of the property. I have 

 in my possession a Bible, for generations belong- 

 ing to that family of Reynolds, containing a re- 

 gister commencing 1646", and with the baptism of 

 John Reynolds, the son of Edward Reynolds, 

 March 14, 1646, and which John Reynolds mar- 

 ried Elizabeth Hinckes, of Tettenhall Regis, 

 whose baptism is given as Feb. 11, 1653; and in 

 a later register John, the son of the said John, 

 married Sarah Fox, daughter of Henry Fox of 

 Walton Grange, in the parish of Gnosall, Staflbrd- 

 shire, about the year 1739. 



I give these particulars, as they may serve to 

 throw some light on the family history ; and should 

 be obliged by any information respecting the 

 early history of the family for genealogical pur- 

 poses. C. H. G. 



" Baratnriana " and " Pranceriana " (Vol. x., 

 pp. 185. 315). — I believe Abhba is correct in 

 st.".ting Sir H. Langrishe and Mr, Flood as con- 

 tributors to the Pranceriana, but I doubt about 

 Mr. Grattan. I once had (and hope I may not 

 have lost) a copy with the names of some of the 

 writers of the several articles. It is at present 

 (even if I have it) out of my reach ; but I can 

 state that the Reverend Mr. Simpson, who, I 

 think, lived to a good old age in Marlborough 

 Street in Dublin, was an important contributor, 

 and acted as editor of the little volume when the_ 

 pieces were collected. It has a great deal of 

 pleasantry and even wit. 



Pranceriana was of a later date and inferior in- 

 terest, and, as your correspondent A Dublin 

 Graduate says (p. 315.), Dr. Duigenan was a 

 principal contributor ; but he was by no means the 

 only one. Very little of the pleasantries were 

 supposed to be his. Of this, too, I have an anno- 

 tated copy, which I cannot just now refer to ; but 

 I think it better to tell at once the little I know
