NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 191. 



having retained for their own convenience a read- 

 ing which most editors have rejected. I observe 

 that GifFord, in his translation, takes hdbes as the 

 basis of his version in both the passages mentioned. 

 May I ask if it is from misquotation, or variation 

 in the copies, that an even more hackneyed quo- 

 tation is never given as I find it printed, Sat. 2. 

 V. 83. : " Nemo repente venit turpissimus ? " 



J. S. Warden. 



Lord Clarendon and the Tubwoman (Vol. vii., 

 pp. 133. 211.). — Your correspondent L. has not 

 proved this story to be fabulous : it has usually 

 been told of the wife of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, 

 great-grandmother of the two queens, and, for 

 anything we know yet of her family, it may be 

 quite true. J. S. Warden. 



JRa^^e (Vol. vii., p. 512.). — I can corroborate 

 the assertion of Anon., that this word is still in use 

 in Sussex, though by no means frequently. Not 

 long since I heard an old woman say, " My gaefier 

 (meaning her husband) got up quite rathe this 

 morning." 



In the case of the early apple it is generally 

 pronounced ratheripe. 



See also Cooper's excellent Sussex Glossary, 

 2nd edit. 1853. M. 



Old Booty's Case (Vol. iii., p. 40.). — The most 

 authentic report of this case is, I think, in one of 

 the London Gazettes for J687 or 1688. I read 

 the report in one of these at the British Museum 

 several years ago. It purported to be given only 

 a few days after the trial had taken place.

SCOPES, with the New Vetzlar Eye-pieces, as 

 exhibited at the Academy of Sciences in Paris. 

 The Lenses of these Eye-pieces are so con- 

 structed that the rays of light fall nearly per- 

 pendicular to the surface of the various lenses, 

 by which the aberration is eompletelyremoved ; 

 and a telescope so fitted gives one-tliird more 

 magnifying power and light than could be ob- 

 tained by the old Eye-pieces. Prices of the 

 various sizes on application to
