NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 201. 



Leman Family (Vol. viii., p. 150.), — Without 

 being able to give a substantial reply to R. W. L.'s 

 Query, it may assist him to know that Sir John 

 Leman had but one brother (William), who cer- 

 tainly did not emigrate from his native land. Sir 

 John died, March 26, 1632, without issue ; and 

 ■was buried in the chancel of St. Michael, Crooked 

 Lane, London. His elder brother, William, had 

 five sons ; all settled comfortably in England, and 

 not at all likely to have left their native country. 

 One of the Herald^ Visitations for the counties of 

 Norfolk or Suffolk would materially assist your 

 Philadelphian correspondent. T. Hughes.

Position of Font (Vol. vii., p. 149.). — In the 

 church of Milton near Cambridge, the font is 

 huilt into the north pier of the chancel arch ; and 

 from the appearance of the masonry, &c., this is 

 evidently the orii^inal position. I have visited 

 some hundreds of churches, and this is the only 

 instance I have observed of a font in this position. 

 Numerous instances occur where it is huilt into 

 the south-western pier of the nave.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Our worthy publisher has just issued a volume which 

 will be welcome, for the excellence of its matter and 

 the beauty of its various illustrations, to all archaeolo- 

 gists. These Memoirs illustrative of the History and 

 Antiquities of Bristol and the Western Counties of Great 

 Britain, and other Communications made to the Annual 

 Meeting of the Archwological Institute held at Bristol in 

 1851, certainly equal in interest and variety any of 

 their predecessors, and whether as a memorial of their 

 visit to Bristol to those who attended the meeting, or 

 as a pleasant substitute to those who did not, will 

 doubtless find a resting-place on the shelf of every 

 member of the Society whose proceedings they record. 



We cannot better recommend to our readers Dr. 

 Madden's newly published Life and Martyrdom of Sa^ 

 vonarola, illustrative of the History of Church and State 

 Connexion, than by stating that this remarkable man, 

 whom some Protestants have claimed as of their own 

 creed, while as many Romanists have rejected him as 

 a heretic, is viewed by Dr. Madden as a monk of Flo- 

 rence at the close of the fifteenth century, who was of 

 opinion that the mortal enemy of Christ's gospel in all 

 ages of the world had been mammon ; that simony was 

 the sin against the Holy Ghost ; that the interests of 

 religion were naturally allied with those of liberty ; 

 that the Arts were the handmaids of both, of a Divine 

 origin, and were given to earth for purposes that tended 

 to spiritualise humanity ; and who directed all his 

 teachings, preachings, and writings to one great object, 

 namely, the separation of religion from all worldly in- 

 fluences. On this theme Dr. Madden discourses with 

 great learning, and, some few passages excepted, with 



great moderation ; and the result is a Life of Savonarola, 

 which gives a far more complete view of his character 

 and his writings than has heretofore been attempted. 



Books Received History of England from the 



Peace of Utrecht to the Peace of Versailles, by Lord 

 Mahon, Vol. V. This volume embraces the period 

 between the early years of George III, and 1774, when 

 Franklin was dismissed from his office of Deputy Post- 

 master-General ; and, as it includes the Junius period, 

 gives occasion to Lord Mahon to avow his adherence 

 to " the Franciscan theory ; " while the Appendix con- 

 tains two letters in support of the same view, — one 

 from Sir James Macintosh, and one from Mr. Macau- 

 lay. — Confessions of a Working Man, from the French of 

 Emile Souvestre. This interesting narrative, well de- 

 serving the attention both of masters and working men, 

 forms Part XLVIII. of Longman's Traveller's Library. 

 — Remains of Pagan Saxondom, principally from Tumuli 

 in England, drawn from the Originals : described and 

 illustrated by J. Y. Alderman, Part VI. containing 

 coloured engravings of the size of the originals of 

 Fibulas and Bullae, from cemeteries in Kent ; and 

 Fibulae, Beads, &c. from a grave near Stamford.
