NOTES AND QUERIES.

sind under his portrait, engraved by Hagens, he is 

 •described, among other titles, as being " conser- 

 vitor and resident for His Majestie's most ancient 

 !kin<»donie of Scotland in the Seventein Provinces." 

 What were these privileges, and whence was the 

 term campvere derived ? 



I have seen mention made of a mercantile house 

 at Calais, in the sixteenth century, who had their 

 ■" campfyer schypp, hyr saylls hallfe blewyw hallfe 

 yewllow : " but this, I think, must refer to the 

 ■trade in camphor, in the purification of which the 

 Venetians, and afterwards the Dutch, exclusively 

 •were occupied. J. D. S. 



[Campvere is another name given by the English to 

 "Veere, or Ter Veere, a fortified town of the province 

 •of Brabant, and the kingdom of the Netherlands. It 

 was formerly the staple-town for the trade between 

 Scotland and Holland ; but its privileges, and much of 

 its commerce, have been removed to Rotterdam.] 



Bishops Inglis and Stanser of Nova Scotia. — In 

 addition to the very interesting notice of the 

 former given in Vol. vi., p. 151., I beg to ask 

 • where and when he was born ? whether an En- 

 glishman or American ? No reply has yet been 

 I given regarding Bishop Stanser s death, or resig- 

 nation of see. A. S. A. 

 Wuzzeerabad. 



[As Sabine has included Bishop Inglis among the 

 American Loyalists, it would appear that he was a 

 native of the United States. His article commences, 

 ■*' Charles Inglis, of New York ; " but it does not state 

 that he was a native of that city. Bishop Stanser re- 

 signed his see through indisposition in the year 1825, 

 ;and died at Hampton, Jan. 23, 1829. See " N. & Q,.," 

 Vol. vi., p. 425.] 



MONUMENT TO BARBARA MOWBRAY AND ELIZA- 

 BETH CURLE AT ANTWERP. 



(Vol. v., pp. 415. 517. &C.) 



I adopt the above heading in preference to that 

 ■which your correspondents C. E. D., M. W. B., 

 r. H., and Nhrsl have, I think improperly, se- 

 lected. The monument, which is to be seen in 

 the church of St. Andrew at Antwerp, is said by 

 them to have been erected by the two ladies 

 Barbara Mowbray and Elizabeth Curie to the 

 memory of their beloved mistress the Queen of 

 Scots ; but it will be found to have been rather 

 erected to the memory of those two ladies by 

 Hippolytus Curie, the son of the former, and 

 nephew of the latter, in or subsequent to the year 

 1620. The notice of it in my Murray's Handbook 

 of 1850 is brief but accurate : 



" Against a pillar, facing the right transept, is a por- 

 trait of Mary Queen of Scots, attached to a monument 

 erected to the memory of two English ladies named 



Curie, who served her as ladies in waiting. One of 

 them received her last embrace previous to hcr execu- 

 tion." 



I beg to refer your correspondents to a Memoir 

 by Mons. C. P. Serrure, which appeared in torn. iii. 

 of the Messager des Sciences et des Arts de la 

 Belgique, 1835, pp. 89—96., and was afterwards 

 published at Ghent in a separate form, under the 

 title of Notice sur le MausoUe de Barhe Moubray 

 et Elizabeth Curie, dames dhonneur de la reine 

 Marie Stuart, qui se voit dans VEglise paroissiale 

 de Saint Andre, d Anvers, with an engraving of 

 the monument. As the inscription conveys some 

 biographical particulars of the ladies whose vir- 

 tues it commemorates, and as this information is 

 asked for by Nhesl, I have copied it : premising, 

 however, that M. Serrure takes credit to himself 

 for being the first to give it in a correct shape. 

 It is as follows :

The inscription under the queen's portrait Is 

 correctly given by M. W. B. ; except that, in the 

 sixth line, the word " invidia" occurs after "hseret," 

 and the "et" is omitted. 



Touching this same portrait, and the selfish, 

 silly, sight-loving Englishman, M. Serrure writeth 

 as follows : 



" Les Anglais, si avides de tout voir quand ils sont 

 en pays etranger, et si curieux de tout ce qui appar- 

 tient a leur histoire, ne manquent jamais d'aller visiter 

 I'Eglise de St. Andre. Leur admiration pour ce monu- 

 ment, sans doute plus interessant sous le rapport du 

 souvenir qui s'y rattache, que sous celui de I'art, va si 

 loin, que plus d'une fois on a pretendu, non-seulement
