22 Eliz. ; and then, having levied a fine of it, sold it to 

 Thompson, and he, in the reign of Charles I., alienated 

 it to liest." — Hasted. 



Of course, tlie Christian name of Thompson, and 

 other particulars if required, can be obtained by a 

 reference to the foot of the fine in the Record Office, 

 Carlton Ride.] 



Rents of Assize, S^c. — In the Valor Ecclesias- 

 tlcus, the following varieties of income derived 

 from rent of land constantly recur, viz. : 



" De redditu (simply). 

 De redditu assisEe. 

 De redditu libero. 

 De redditu ad voluntatem." 



Can the distinction between these be exactly 

 explained by any corresponding annual payments 

 for land according to present custom ? And will 

 any of your readers be kind enough to give such 

 explanation ? J. 



\_Reddilus. — Rents from lands let out to tenants; 

 modern farm rents. 



Reddilus Assisee. — Quit rents : fixed sums paid by 

 the tenants of a manor annually to the lord ; as in 

 modern times. 



Reddilus lAberi. — Those quit rents which were paid 

 to the lord by " liberi tenentes," freeholders ; as dis- 

 tinguished from '' villani bassi tenentes," &c. 



Reddilus ad voluntatem. — Annual payments " ad 

 voluntatem donatium;" such as " confrana," &c. The 

 modern Easter Offering perhaps corresponds with them.] 



Edifices of Ancient and Modern Times. — Can 

 any of your architectural or antiquarian readers 

 inform me where a chronological list of the prin- 

 cipal edifices of ancient and modern times can be 

 found ? Getskn. 



[Consult Chronological Tables of Ancient and Modern 

 History Synchronistically and Ethnographically arranged, 

 fol., Oxford, 1835. For those relating to Great Bri- 

 tain, see Britton's Chronological and Historical IllustrO' 

 tions, and his Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain.^ 



Gorram. — Please to direct me where I can find 

 a short account of Gorram, an ecclesiastical writer 

 (I suppose) mentioned by D'Aubigne, vol. v. 

 p. 245. L. (2) 



[The divine alluded to by D'Aubigne is no doubt 

 Nicholas de Gorran, a Dominican, confessor to Philip 

 the Fair of France. He was an admired and eloquent 

 preacher, and his Sermons, together with a Commen- 

 tary on the Gospels, appeared at Paris, 1523 and 1539. 

 He died in 1295.] 



" Rock of Ages." — Who is the author of the 

 hymn beginning " Rock of Ages ? " J. G. T. 



[That celebrated advocate for The Calvinism of the 

 Church of England, the Rev. Augustus Montague Top- 

 lady.]
