 longing to several of the City Companies, their 

 present value, and how divided among the Com- 

 panies, with any other particulars. Anon. 



Thomas Thornton, born about 1609, supposed 

 to have been a clergyman of the Church of Eng- 

 land till the act of uniformity, 1662, about which 

 period he removed to New England ; had chil- 

 dren, Anna, Elizabeth, Mary, Priscilla, Theophi- 

 lus, Thomas, and Timothy. Of these, Mary was

J. W. T. 

 ^ Boston, U. S. 



'I Arms of Stoney of Yorkshire. — What are the 

 arms, crest, &c., of the family of Stoney of York- 

 shire ? They are not given in Burke, though a 

 portion of their pedigree is. B, B. S. 



Fothergill Family. — Whence did the family of 

 Fothergill come, and when ? Where did they 

 first settle, what arms did they bear, and what is 

 the derivation of the name ? One or the Tribe. 



The Corsican Empress of Morocco. — In Gre- 

 gorovius's Corsica I read that there was, in Na- 

 poleon's time — say between 1760 and 1815 — a 

 certain native of Corsica who became Empress of 

 Morocco. 



I have in vain searched a Universal History, as 

 it came down only to about 1730 or 1740. Pink- 

 erton, too, is silent, so far as I can find ; and in 

 small modern books of travel, I find not a syllable. 

 Can you. Sir, or any of your readers, kindly help 

 me out ? Sheridan Wilson. 



Bath. 



Welsh Topography. — Ancient and mediasval 

 bards have topographical, customary, and do- 

 mestic references, which it would be well for 

 the purposes of history to have gleaned out. 

 " Llwarch Hen." (a.d. 550.) is full of such refer- 

 ences, and so is Dafydd ab Gwilym (a.d. 1350), 

 our great Cymbric Ovid. In Poem lxiii. of this 

 bard, the following domestical names, &c., are 

 given, " Gellimeirch," " Gelli-fleddyn," " Ber-gul- 

 avon," "Bwlch," "Camallt," "y Rhiw," " Cyfyl- 

 faen," " Pantcwcwll," " Castellywyan," "Heilyn," 

 " Gwern-ytalwrn"; such places being all, it appears, 

 in " Gwent." Query, Do such places still exist 

 bearing the same name ? Llwyd o Llangathen. 



Chess Query. — 



" Full craftier to play she was 

 Than Athalus, that made the game 

 First of the Chess, so was his name." 



Chaucer, The Book of the Duchess, 662-4. 



Who was Athalus, and to what story does the 

 poet allude ? R. H. B. A. 



William Ingledew, described as of " Ripon in 



Craven," who married Alice, daughter of Bate 



of Westminster, by whom he had an only daughter 

 and heiress, married to Miles Lindsey of Dent, co. 

 York. Any particulars respecting them would 

 greatly oblige Davison Ingledew. 



Armorial. — The following coat of arms occurs 

 in a MS., dated 1499, by a French artist. Quar- 

 terly, 1st and 4th on a field, argent, a horn, sable, 

 in chief 3 crosses, azure ; 2nd and 3rd, on a field, 

 gules, a flying stag, argent, in chief 3 stars, or. 



In another page there appears to be a rebus, 

 either of the artist's name or the person for whom 

 the book was done ; first comes the " irons of a 

 horse collar (!) ; 2nd, a flagon with lid, both of 

 them in white; and 3rd, a graduated quadrant with 

 a plumb-line, or bob, attached in gold ; " they are 

 all on a black ground. I should be glad of an 

 explanation, and to know the owner of the above 

 coat of arms. J. C. J. 



Luther on Dancing. — Is there a passage in the 

 works of Martin Luther in favour of dancing? A 

 dancing-master in this country has published, in 

 his advertisement, what he alleges to be an ex- 

 tract from the writings of the great reformer. It 

 asserts that dancing is as natural as eating and 

 drinking, and concludes with the exhortation : 

 " Dance, my children, dance I" Bar Point. 



Philadelphia.
