Ancient Painting at Cowdry (2°'^ S. v. j). 478.) 

 — The engraving mentioned by O. (2) is from 

 a painting which formerly occupied the first 

 compartment on the right-hand side of the great 

 dining parlour at Cowdry, containing the ren- 

 dezvous of the English army at Portsmouth in 

 1545 to oppose the intended invasion of England 

 by the French, whose fleet is represented as lying 

 off St. Helen's ; and this, with the other com- 

 partments, was fully described by Sir Joseph Ay- 

 loffe, Bart., in the Archceologia, vol. iii. pp. 241 — 

 263., and engraved by the Society of Antiquaries. 

 In the Vetusta Monumenta, vol. iii. plates 33—37, 

 are views of Cowdry, with an account by Richard 

 Gough, F.S.A., of its destruction by fire on the 

 night of September 24, 1793, when the original 

 paintings perished. Wm. Dureant Coopek. 



Pair of Curols (P' S. iv. 101. ; 2"« S. v. 437.) — 

 It has occurred to me that curols may be some 

 strange mode of spelling quarrels, i. e. arrows : the 



word certainly does not occur in that form in any 

 glossary within my reach, but we know from Lit- 

 tleton, &c., that lands were held (In what is called 

 petit serjeanty) by the service of rendering annually 

 some small implement of war, as a bow, a sword, 

 a lance, an arrow, or the like. In the same way 

 a pike furnisked is probably the weapon of that 

 name with certain trappings or accoutrements 

 therewith usual to be sent. J. Eastwood. 



Edward Coleman (2°'^ S. v. 466.) — Besides the 

 notices of Edward Coleman in the magnificent 

 Diary of Samuel Pepys (as quoted by Dr. Rim- 

 bault), there is the following, concerning that 

 musician, to be found in John Batchiler's Life of 

 Susanna Perwich, 1661 : — 



" To this her instrumental music, we may add her vocal, 

 no less delicious and admirable, if not more excellent ; as 

 if her Lungs had been made on purpose (as no doubt they 

 were) by their natural melodies, to outdo the artificial ; 

 and here Mr. Edward Coleman, her master, and one of 

 greatest renown, for his rare abilities in singing, deserves 

 no less thanks and commendations for the care and de- 

 light he took in perfecting her in this Art also, than any 

 of her other masters." 



The life is in the British Museum, minus the 

 portrait, which, having passed into the collection 

 of Sir M. Sykes, was, at the sale of that gentle- 

 man's prints, disposed of for one guinea and a half; 

 being marked in the sale catalogue as " Extra 

 rare." Edwin Roffe. 



" Dr. Watts's Last Thoughts on the Trinity " 

 (2"'^ S. V. 488.)— The pamphlet " wanted to pur- 

 chase " deserves a Note. It is intitled A Faithful 

 Enquiry after tke Ancient and Original Doctrine 

 of tke Trinity taught by Christ and his Apostles. 

 Fifty copies were printed, anonymously, in 1745, 

 for private distribution ; and nearly all of them 

 were destroyed at the instigation of the author's 

 friends. His executors afterwards decided that 

 the MS. was unfit for publication. Its suppres- 

 sion produced or fostered an idea that Watts's 

 Last Thoughts were completely Unitarian. In 

 1802 Mr. (j-abriel Watts of Frome (no relation of 

 the doctor) reprinted what he supposed to be the 

 only existing copy of the above pamphlet. The 

 venerable divine was thus called up, as if from 

 the grave, to give evidence ; and the combatants 

 might well stand back. (See Milner's Life and 

 Times of Watts, pp. 724—729.) But it happened 

 that in the library of my grandfather, Mr. Joseph 

 Parker, son of Watts's amanuensis of the same 

 name, was preserved a second copy of the original 

 edition, with " the author's MS. corrections and 

 additions." The announcement of this last fact 

 revived the suspicion that some further disclosure 

 favourable to anti-trinitarian views remained to 

 be made. The pamphlet was consequently sold, 

 after what, I happen to know, was entirely a bona 

 fide competition, for sixteen pounds. After all, 

 the " additions and corrections " were of little
