NOTES AND QUEKIES. 



475 



been written by an Englishman, in the curious 

 and perplexing mistakes in spelling of Irish names 

 of iflen and places : these are so many, and so far 

 from the correct orthography, that a small glos- 

 sary of them may be useful. I subjoin it, taking 

 them as they lie in the volume : 



These are selected from a number of others which 

 come more under the rule of idem sonans. There 

 are other misspellings which baffle conjecture, but 

 none such occur in respect to English names.

Sir Richard Radcliffe, K. G. and Banneret 

 (Vol.x., pp. 164.216.331.).— A Constant Reader 



expresses surprise that "the parentage and de- 

 scent" of Sir R. Radcliffe was not " inserted in 

 the full pedigrees of the Radcliflfes given by Dr. 

 Whitaker in his Whalleij, or his name referred to 

 in the text." The departed antiquary is blame- 

 less here. Radcliffe, a distinct parish, was no 

 part of his subject; but he "transgressed the 

 bounds," and in the first edition of 1800 (p. 402.) 

 A Constant Reader will find the pedigree as 

 drawn by Whitaker, and " Sir Richard Radcliffe, 

 K.G., slain at Boswortli" duly inserted as a 

 younger son of Sir Thomas Radcliffe of Dilston, 

 which agrees with the place assigned him in Burns's 

 Cumberland, p. 78. 



The " full pedigree" in the last edition (1818, 

 p. 411.) was drawn by the late Mr. W. Radclyffe, 

 Rouge Croix, who does not insert Sir R. Rad- 

 clyffe, for the obvious reason of not bringing 

 down a branch unconnected with the subject, and 

 stops with the founder of the Dilston line. 



In Mr. Radclyffe's own MS., however, _ the 

 pedigree was continued, and by his permission I 

 abstracted it in 1809. It probably, however, con- 

 tains nothing but what your correspondent may 

 perhaps find in Beltz's Memorials of the Order of 

 the Garter, which my library does not contain. 

 I would however beg leave to refer him to the 

 Scrope and Grosvenor Controversy (vol. i. p. 60.) 

 for the notice of " Sir Richai-d Radcliffe of Sud- 

 bury," and to the printed Parliamentary Rolls 



(vol. vi. p. 276. a.) for the attainder of Sir R. Rad- 

 cliffe; and to vol. vii. p. 492. a. for the petition of 

 his son Richard Radcliffe for restoration in blood ; 

 stating his father to have had two elder brothers, 

 then living and having issue, and other particulars. 

 Burns, erroneously, makes Sir Richard to be a 

 second son. Lancasteiensis. 



Haberdasher (Vol. x., p. 415.). — Will H. F. B. 

 be so good as to name the German dictionary in 

 which hafertasche is interpreted "bagsman" or 

 " pedlar ? " I have consulted five, and cannot find 

 the word. According to them, if there is such a 

 compound, it must signify a pocket for oats. That 

 is the primary signification given to havresac in 

 the French dictionaries, and the secondary is not 

 extended beyond a bag for provisions. 



The converse is equally clear. FlUgel says : 

 "Haberdasher, der Barettkramer, Kleinhandler, 

 Bandhandler, Huttstaffirer." Had hafertascher 

 been a German word, he would not have omitted 

 it. H. B. C. 



U. U. Club. 



"Ztm " and "Jim" (Vol. x., p. 382.). —R. C. 

 Warde asks what Zim and Jim were ? He is re- 

 ferred to the margin of the authorised version of 

 Isaiah xiii. 21, 22., where these words occur. 

 Gesenius makes the Zim to be, " Animals, i. e. 

 jackals, ostriches, wild beasts." The Jim, he says, 

 were jackals. B. H. C. 



Raleigh and his Descendants (Vol. x., p. 374.). 

 — Among the articles enumerated as relics of Sir 

 Walter, your correspondent mentions a tea-pot. 

 I wish to know if tea-pots were invented before 

 tea was introduced, or the relic in question be no 

 relic of Sir Walter Raleigh at all ? He died in 

 1618 ; tea was introduced about 1650. B. H. C.
