which an artist's eye might love to dwell upon, he cuts 

 iiway all theoretical objections to the use of bromine on 

 paper. 



in conclusion I thank Mr. Leachman for directing my 

 attention to this subject, and I trust he will spend many 

 happy hours in the prosecution of his favourite art.

Fading of Positives. — For more than a year I have been 

 uniformly successful in printing unfading positives. I 

 have used many descriptions of baths, new and old, with 

 and without chloride of gold, or chloride and iodide of 

 silver, and with and without a final bath of simple hypo- 

 sulphite, always with the same result. I always use al- 

 buineiii/.ed pa'per, and simple nitrate of silver, never 

 ammonio-nitrate. I steep the prints for at least twenty- 

 four hours in water frequently changed, and I stick them 

 to mv book or cardboard with india-rubber cement, pro- 

 cured at the mackintosh shop in Cockspur Street, near 

 Charing Cross. 



A friend of mine sent me a print which he assured me 

 had been thoroughly washed. After a month or two I 

 found it fading slightly at one side, and the opposite leaf 

 in the book on which it is pasted was tinged with a 

 brownish-yellow at the place where the faded part came 

 in contact witli it; and this stain has at length gone 

 througli the leaf, thick rolled cartridge paper. 



I find it more economical, and equally elFective, to mix 

 a little chloride of gold with my salted albumen, instead 

 of putting it into the bath. I dissolve fifteen grains in 

 half an ounce of distilled water, and pour two or three 

 drops into each ounce of the salt solution. H. E. N.

Cockades (Vol. xi., p. 186.). — The black cockade 

 is worn by the servants of all gentlemen holding 

 the rank of field ofiicers. On this account, the 

 servants of deputy-lieutenants wear it, nor is it 

 contemned : " Why did your husband become a 

 deputy-lieutenant?" " What 1 " said the lady in 

 reply, " is it nothing that our servants can now 

 wear cockades ?" T. F. 



George Miller, D.D. (Vol. xi., p. 125.). — The 

 sermon referred to by Abhba, as having been 

 preached by Dr. Miller, exists in MS., but has 

 not appeared in print. Flos.

" Im Garten, der gegenwartig Bartholomaeisches 

 Eigenthum ist, am Fusse des Schlossberges, unmittelbar 

 an deni steilen Gehange, welches neuerdings durch wenig 

 hequeme Treppen zuganglich gemacht worden, war die 

 Wohnung der schonen, edlen und mildthatigen Klara von 

 Detten, der Stamm-Mutter des Lowensteinischen Filrst- 

 enhauses, mit welcher Friedrich in morganatischer Elie 

 lebte. Tm xv Jahrhundert besassen die Edlen von Wal- 

 deek den Garten -, Pfalzgraf Friedrich erkaufte denselben 

 und ilbertrug in 14G5 an Klara von Dettin und ihre Erben 

 als Eigenthum." — Fremdenbuch filr Heidelberg, von K. C.

Gresehrok in Yorkshire (Vol. viii., p. 389. ; 

 Vol. ix., p. 285. &c.). — Of this place I find the 



following particulars. In Calendarium Hotulorum 

 Chartarum, printed by command of George III., 

 1803, folio:

I believe it to be the same as is now called Greas- 

 hrough, a place near the town of Rotherham in 

 Yorkshire. 



In the obituary of the Illustrated London News 

 for May 13 last, Michael Grazebrook, Esq., of 

 Audnam, is said to be descended " from Oshurn de 

 Gorseburg, whose son, shortly after the Conquest, 

 married a great heiress, Ethelswytha de Hesdene, 

 descended from the Saxon kings." This Osbum 

 is, I suppose, the Osbert mentioned by your cor- 

 respondent HosPES. This family does not now 

 reside at Stourton Castle (not Horton) ; they have 

 left that place some time, and it is now the seat of 

 W. O. Foster, Esq., who married a daughter of 

 H. Grazebrook, Esq., of Liverpool. There is a 

 short account of the family in Sir B. Burke's 

 Visitations, vol. ii. p. 1. It is, however, very brief, 

 and there is a reference to the Landed Gentry, 

 which, not having at hand, I of course cannot 

 give extracts from. 



In the Visitations of Seats, 2nd series, there is 

 also a short notice of the family, p. 157., article 

 " Greysbrooke Hall." It is there said that Robert 

 Graisbrooke died in 1727, and not in 1718, as in 

 "N.&Q." . 



There was, some years ago, a junior branch ot 

 this family settled at Stroud, co. Gloucester, as 

 appears by the following extract from Gent. Mag. 

 1843: 



« Oct. 30, at Far Hill, near Stroud, Joseph Grazebrook, 

 Esq., aged ninety-two, for many years the active head of 

 the old Stroud Bank." 



I believe that a descendant of this gentleman 

 now resides at Chertsey, Surrey. Jas. Inglis.

Chadderton of Nuthurst (Vol. ix., p. 303.). — In 

 Harl. MSS. 6159. 29., your correspondent may 

 see the pedigree and arms of this family. The 

 pediaree is also given in Harl. 1549. and 1401, 

 and I dare say in others (but vide Sims's Index). 

 I copied it from the two former. The arras are,
