NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 154. 



by six led liorses. At Temple Bar, the city ofEcers 

 took their places in the procession. Upon arrival 

 at the cathedral, they entered by the west gate 

 and the great west door, ranging themselves ac- 

 cording to their ranks. The seats were as follows : 

 under the dome, in each archway, in the front 

 of the piers, and in the gallery over the choir. 

 The form of the seats under the dome took the 

 shape of the dome, namely, a circular appearance, 

 and calculated to hold 3056 persons ; an iron rail- 

 ing was also placed from the dome to the great 

 western door, within which persons were allowed 

 to stand. The body was placed on a bier, erected 

 on a raised platform opposite to the eagle desk. At 

 the conclusion of the service in the choir, a pro- 

 cession was formed from thence to the grave, with 

 banners, &c. The interment being over. Garter 

 proclaimed the style ; and the comptroller, trea- 

 surer, and steward of the deceased, breaking their 

 staves, gave the pieces to Garter, who threw them 

 into the grave. 



The procession, arranged by the officers of arms, 

 then returned. 



For a few days after the public were admitted 

 upon a shilling fee, and permitted to enter the en- 

 closed spot directly over the body, looking down 

 a distance of about ten feet, and were gratified 

 with a sight of the coffin, placed upon a sort of 

 iable covered with black cloth. Observatob. 



CUSTOMS DUTIES. 



I send a few extracts from the schedule to the 

 •act of 12 Charles II. c. 4., being "A Subsidy 

 granted to the King of Tonnage and Poundage 

 and other Sums of Money, payable upon Mer- 

 chandize exported and imported." Some of them 

 are curious, as showing the demand for articles 

 for which there is now no sale ; and many names 

 are mentioned which are now unknown. I should 

 be glad to know what are the various articles 

 which are marked by an asterisk : at present I can 

 only guess : —

HINTS TO AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS. 



1. Every book that is worth reading, except, 

 perhaps, a work of fiction, requires an Iiidex ; and 

 the more books there are in the world the more 

 requisite it becomes. In certain books a second, 

 or even a third, index is necessary. The old editions
