NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 283. 



Lievtenant MacCuUoch (Vol. vii., p. 127.). — 

 Would your correspondent H. G. D. kindly fur- 

 nish me with any particulars he may chance to 

 have learnt relating to the Lieutenant MacCul- 

 loch, according to whose plan Wolfe attacked 

 Quebec ? I have no means of referring to Smith's 

 Marylebone, in which H. G. D. says a notice of 

 him is to be found, and I am anxious to know 

 whether he belonged to any house of the Galloway 

 family of that name, or to the branch of the 

 family that emigrated at an early date from Gal- 

 loway, and settled in Ross-shire and Cromarty.

Guernsey. 



Goffe's Oak (Vol. xi., p. 205.). — There is an 

 account of Cheshunt and Goffe's oak in Mr. 

 Shirley Hibberd's recent work, Brambles and 

 Bay Leaves, just published by Messrs. Longmans, 

 to which I would refer Mr. Chambers. It occurs 

 in an article headed " The Land of Blackberries." 



E.G. 



Maid of Orleans (Vol. ix., p. 374.). — D'Israeli, 

 in the passage quoted by I. E.. R., appears to be 

 speaking from memory, and probably only alludes 

 to the fact that, shortly after the execution of the 

 unfortunate Joan of Arc, an opinion gained 

 ground that another person under condemnation 

 had been substituted for her, and burnt in her 

 stead ; and that this belief led to more than one 

 impostor endeavouring to pass herself off as the 

 heroine to whom France owed so much. Two 

 very interesting papers on the subject will be 

 found in a French periodical, Le Magasin Pitto- 

 resque, vol. xii. pp. 286. 298.

NOTES ON BOOKS, £TC. 



Messrs. Macmillan & Co. of Cambridge have just issued 

 the second of their projected Series of Theological Manuals. 

 The present volume, which is from the pen of the Rev. 

 Francis Procter, M.A., late Fellow of St. Catherine's 

 Hall, and Vicar of Witton, Norfolk, is entitled A History 

 of the Book of Common Prayer, with a Rationale of its 

 Offices ; and is designed as an epitome of the extensive 

 publications upon the subject of the Eitual of the Church 

 of England, which, in the course of the last twenty years, 

 have been issued by divines of great learning and accu- 

 rate research. The value of a work, judiciously compiled, 

 as this has been, from the older works of Strype, Nicholls, 

 and Comber, and from the more recent ones of Cardwell, 

 Palmer, Maskell, Clay, and Lathbury, is too obvious to 

 be insisted on; and we can have little doubt that Mr. 

 Procter's History of our Liturgy will soon supersede the 

 well-known work of Wbeatly, and become a much-used 

 handbook beyond the circuits of the University, for the 

 more immediate use of which it has been produced 



We are glad to be enabled to announce that the old 

 English Chronicle, described at pp. 103. 139. of our pre- 

 sent Volume, is about to be printed for the Members of 



the Camden Society. The funds of that Society can cer- 

 tainly never be better employed than in printing a MS. 

 of this character — more especially when, as in the present 

 case, it happens to be in private hands, and not in a public 

 library, where it might be used even in its unprinted form. 

 We beg to call the attention of our readers interested in 

 the history of Christian Art to the course of lectures upon 

 that subject which is about to be delivered at the Royal 

 Institution, by one most competent to do justice to it, we 

 mean Mr. George Scharf, F.S.A. 



Books Received. — Addison's Works, by Bishop Hurd, 

 Vol. IV. (^Bohn's British Classics). This volume was in- 

 tended to have completed the work, but a fifth is to 

 follow to include Addison's Letters, of which a large 

 number has hitherto remained unpublished. 



The Exemplary Novels of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ; 

 to which are added El Buscapie, or the Serpent, and La 

 Tia Fingida, or the Pretended Aunt, translated by W. F. 

 Kelly, is Bohn's extra volume for the present month. 



The Autobiography of Francis Arago, translated from 

 the French hy the Rev. Baden Powell, M.A., &c. The 

 new number of the Traveller's Library is a translation of 

 the autobiography of the distinguished philosopher, which 

 is to precede the translated edition of his works.
