NOTES AND QUERIES.

he has adopted it. I find that the Paris Biographic 

 Universelle gives no fixed date, but only a con- 

 jectural one, about 1670, so that 1664 may possibly 

 be right. G. Dubourg. 



Brighton. 



James Chaloner (Vol. vii., p. 334.). — Mr. 

 Hughes is mistaken in imagining that James 

 Chaloner the herald-painter was the same person 

 as James Chaloner, Governor of the Isle of Man, 

 and one of the judges of Charles I. He will find 

 the error exposed by Chalmers (Biog. Diet., Jas. 

 C.) ; and in my family, as descendants of the latter 

 James Chaloner, there are among his papers many 

 which prove the governor to have been (as Mr. 

 Hughes doubts) the son of Siz* Thomas Chaloner 

 of Gisborough. 



Should any farther doubts remain on the sub- 

 ject, I shall be happy to give all information re- 

 quired concerning these papers, among which are 

 the original commission of governor and captain, 

 signed by Lenthal, and twenty-one letters from 

 Lord Fairfax to his " dear cousin James Chalo- 

 ner." The son of Sir Thomas Chaloner married 

 Ursula Fairfax. It may be presumed the herald- 

 painter did not stand in the same relationship to 

 the Parliamentary general. Lord Fairfax thanks 

 his correspondent for a copy of "his" History of 

 the Isle of Man. Ursula. 



Irish Convocation (Vol. vi., p. 317.; Vol. vii., 

 p. 345.). — In vol. i. o? Letters written by the late 

 Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dub- 

 lin, and several of his Friends, from the Year 1703 

 to 1740, SfX., vnth Notes, by John Hawhesworth, 

 LL.D.: London, 1766, — will be found some ac- 

 count of the Irish Convocation in 1711. See Arch- 

 bishop King's Letters at pp. 110, 111. 122, 123. 132, 

 133. 140, 141. J. K. 



St. Pauls Epistle to Seneca (Vol. vii., p. 500.). 

 — It is not manifest whether J. M. S. wishes for 

 information simply respecting the MS. in Merton 

 College, or whether his inquiry really relates to 

 the printing of the fourteen spurious epistles, 

 eight of which are ascribed to Seneca, and six to 

 St. Paul. 



If your correspondent is curious about the par- 

 ticular MS. he mentions, which is a very old one, 

 and was the gift of William lieade. Bishop of Chi- 

 chester (who had been a Fellow of Merton) about 

 the year 1370, he may consult the Catal. Lib. MSS. 

 Ang. et Hib., part. ii. p. 23., Oxon. 1697; and 

 should he desire to peruse the fictitious Epistles, 

 he may easily discover them in the Bibliotheca 

 Sancta of Sixtus Senensis, lib. ii. pp. 102 — 104. 

 Francof. 1575, or in Fabricii Cod. Apoc. Nov. Test., 

 ii. 892 — 904. _ Jacobus Faber Stapulensis has in- 

 serted them in the handsome volume of his Com- 

 mentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul. (Fol.clxxvi. — 

 clxxix. : Paris, 1517.) I find them also annexed to 



the Epistole Francisci Philelphi, 4to., Hagenau, 

 1514. So far as I can perceive, it does not appear 

 that the correspondence in question was published 

 amongst any of the works of Seneca earlier than 

 the year 1475 ; and it is commonly omitted in later 

 editions. (Fabr., Bib. Lat, i. 429.: Venet. 1728.)

Captain Ayloff (Vol. vii., p. 429.). — I possess a 

 small volume (a 12mo.) by " Captain Ayloffe," 

 with a title-page as follows : 



" A Pocket Companion for Gentlemen and Ladies ; 

 being a true and faithful Epitomy of the most exact 

 and ample Histories of England ,- containing all the 

 material Particulars in every Reign of the English 

 Monarchs, from Egbert to her present Majesty, being 

 884 years. With forty-nine Copper Plates curiously 

 engraved, being the effigies of every Monarch. Lon- 

 don, printed by J. Nutt, near Stationers' Hall, 1703." 



It is dedicated "To the Honourable Col. Archi- 

 bald Row, Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Scots 

 Fuzileers," and' signed " W. Ayloffe." Then fol- 

 lows an introduction of six pages. 



Should the above be useful to Mr. Sternberg, 

 I shall feel pleasure in having made the communi- 

 cation by means of the useful and intelligent pub- 

 lication of " N. & Q." GoDDAKD Johnson. 



Plan of London (Vol. vii,, p. 382.). — L. S. W. 

 asks whether there is a good plan of London, and 

 answers his Query thus. None. I beg to differ 

 from him, believing that no city in the world 

 possesses so good a plan as that lately made under 

 the late Commissioners of Sewers. It is true I 

 and my tenants have paid very dearly for it, but 

 having examined both the reduced plan and block 

 plan very carefully, am compelled to admit their 

 accuracy. It is published in sheets at two shillings 

 each ; size, three feet by two feet ; scale of block 

 plan, five feet to one mile ; reduced plan, one foot 

 to one mile. On each plan accurate levels of every 

 place is given. An index-map, price threepence, 

 is also published. A. P.
