NOTES AND QUERIES.

its English derivative. It seems not improbable 

 that the conversion of traite into trade was pro- 

 duced by an obscure reference to the Latin trado, 

 and to the idea that trade, being an interchange 

 of goods, consists in delivery ; in the same manner 

 that the French chaussee {calciata from calx) was 

 Anglicized into causeway. L. 



General Havelock. — If this family is of Danish 

 origin, may not the name have been derived from 

 the Danish havlog, "a sea-leek?"

Gray's Inn. 



Story's " History of the Wars of Ireland." — A 

 list of the " copper sculptures describing the 

 most important places of action " is a desideratum. 

 My copy of the work I believe to be perfect, and 

 it contains the following : — 



1. « A Ground Plat of Londonderry, &c." (P. 5.) 



2. " Carrickfergus." (P. 8.) 



3. « The English Camp near Dunkald." (P. 10.) 



4. " A Ground Plot of y« Strong Fort of Charlemont." 

 (P. 16.) 



5. " The Battle at y* Bovne." (P. 22.) 



6. " A Prospect of Limerick." (P. 38.) 



7. « Cork City." (P. 44.) 



8. « Kingsaile." (P. 46.) 



9. " The Fort of Ballymore." (P. 88.) 



10. " Athlone." (P. 107.) 



11. « The Line of Battle, July 12, 1691." (P. 124.) 



12. " Aghrim." (P. 135.) 



18. « The Town of Galloway." (P. 172.) 

 14. « Lymrick." (P. 224.) 



" Whatever my account of these matters may be," 

 writes the author in his preface, " yet the maps that I 

 have inserted, which illustrate the principal Battels and 

 Sieges, are very good, and cost no small pains and charges 

 to bring them to that perfection." 



They all belong to the Second Part, or " Con- 

 tinuation of the History ; " and some of them, as 

 I can testify, are wanting in very many copies.

Lady Pdkington, Author of " The Whole Duty 

 of Man'" (see Index to the 1" Series.) — Strong 

 as is the evidence in favour of Lady Pakington 

 afforded by Mrs. Eyre, her daughter, and by Sir 

 Herbert Perrot Pakington, Bart., it is not more 

 authoritative than the declaration of three con- 

 temporary divines, which I find mentioned in 



" A Letter from a Clergy-man in the Country to a 

 Dignified Clergy-man in London, vindicating the Bill 

 brought in the last Sessions of Parliament for preventing 

 the Translation of Bishops. 4to. London, 1702." 



" But before I enter upon the nature, tendency, and 

 usefulness of the Bill, give me leave to say something 

 concerning that worthy Member, Sir J. P[akington], 

 who brought it into the House. 



" His zeal for the Church and Monarchy descends to 

 him as it were by inheritance ; I must write a History, if 

 I would deliver at large how many proofs his Ancestors 

 have given of being the fastest Friends to both : But his 

 Grandfather's spending Forty Thousand Pounds, and 

 being tried for his Life during the late Civil Wars, be- 



cause he vigorously endeavoured to prevent the Martyr- 

 dom of King Charles the First, and the Destruction of 

 Episcopacj' ; the uninterrupted Correspondence of his 

 Grandmother with the learned and pious Dr. Morley, 

 Bishop of Winton, and Dr. Hammond, and her support- 

 ing the latter when deprived, and who is by several 

 Eminent Men* allowed to be the Author of the best and 

 most Masculine Eeligious Book extant in the English 

 Tongue (the Bible excepted), called The Whole Duty of 

 Man, will serve instead of a heap of Instances, to show 

 how great Regards this Family have formerly paid to the 

 Church and Kingly Government."

Longevity. — March 25, at Hempnall, Norfolk, 

 Mr. John Holmes, in the 100th year of his age. 

 The deceased leaves behind him a son Thomas, 

 aged 81, and a grandson aged 60, the latter being 

 himself a great-grandfather ; thus presenting the 

 remarkable fact of a man living to witness the 

 sixth generation from himself, and to see his great- 

 grandson become a grandfather. — Chelmsford 

 Chronicle, April 2. Anon.

Tthadamanthus and Minos. — I remember when a 

 boy having read an allegorical piece which pleased 

 me much. It represented two heathen deities, 

 Rhadamanthus and Minos sitting in judgment on 

 the departed, whose deeds were carefully scanned, 

 after which they were sent to the right or left, 

 according to their merits or demerits. Having 

 often since looked for this piece without being 

 able to find it, may I ask some one of your in- 

 genious correspondents to assist me ? T. 



Mrs. M'^Taggarfs Dramas. — There was pub- 

 lished in 1833 two volumes of dramas, by Mrs. 

 M'^Taggart, author oi Memoirs of a Gentlewoman. 

 Can you give me the names of these dramas ? X.

 this of their own knowledge after her death, which she 

 obliged them to keep private during her life.
