NOTES AND QUERIES.

settled bis estates upon the marriage of his son ; 

 how is this to be reconciled with the often pub- 

 lished statement, that the marriage of his son with 

 his cousin Juliana, daughter of the admiral, and 

 aunt of the late and present lords, was made not 

 only without the consent, but in spite of the oppo- 

 sition, of the old lord, and that he never forgave 

 his son in consequence ? J. S. Warden. 



Burton Family (Vol. iv., pp. 22. 124.). — In 

 connexion with a Query which was kindly noticed 

 by Mr. Algor of Sheffield, who did not however 

 communicate anything new to me, I would ask 

 who was Samuel Burton, Esq., formerly Sheriff of 

 Derbyshire ; whose death at Sevenoaks, in October, 

 1750, I find recorded in the Obituary of the Gen- 

 tleman's Magazine for that year ? I am also de- 

 sirous to ascertain who was Sir Francis Cavendish 

 Burton of St. Helens, whose daughter and heiress, 

 Martha, married Richard Sikes, Esq., ancestor of 

 the Sikes's of the Chauntry House near Newark. 

 She died since 1696. Both Samuel Burton and 

 Mrs. Sikes were related to the Burtons of Kilburn, 

 in the parish of Horsley, near Derby, to whom my 

 former Query referred. E. H. A. 



Provost Hodgson's Translation of the Ati/s of 

 Catullus (Vol. viii., p. 563.). — In answer to Mr. 

 Gantillon's inquiry for the above translation, I 

 beg to state that it will be found appended to an 

 octavo edition of Hodgson's poem of Lady Jane 

 Grey. 



In the same volume will be found, I believe 

 (for I have not the work before me), some of the 

 modern Latin poetry respecting which Ballio- 

 lensis inquires. The justly admired translation 

 of Edwin and Angelina, to which the latter refers, 

 was by Hodgson's too early lost friend Lloyd. 

 The splendid pentameter is slightly misquoted 

 by Ballioeensis. It is not — 



" Poscimus in terris pauca, nee ilia dih." 

 but — 



" Poscimus in vita," &c.

Wylcotes' Brass (Vol. viii., p. 494.). — I should 

 hardly have supposed that any difficulty could 

 exist in explaining the inscription : 

 " In ■ on • is ■ all." 

 To me it appears self-evident that it must be — 

 " In one (God) is my all."

Hoby, Family of; their Portraits, Sfc. (Vol. viii., 

 p. 244.). — I would refer J. B. Whitborne to 

 The Antiquities of Berkshire (so miscalled), by 

 Elias Ashmole ; where, in treating of Bisham, that 

 learned antiquary has given the inscriptions to 

 the Hoby family as existing and legible in his time. 

 It does not appear that Sir Philip Hoby, or 



Hobbie, Knight, was ever of the Privy Council ; 

 but, in 1539, one of the Gentlemen of the Privy 

 Chamber to King Henry VIII. (which monarch 

 granted to him in 1546-7 the manor of Wil- 

 loughby in Edmonton, co. Middlesex), Sir Thomas 

 Hoby, the brother, and successor in the estates of 

 Sir Philip, was, in 1566, ambassador to France ; 

 and died at Paris July 13 in that same year (not 

 1596), aged thirty-six. The coat of the Hobys of 

 Bisham, as correctly given, is " Argent, within a 

 border engrailed sable, three spindles, threaded in 

 fesse, gules." A grant or confirmation of this coat 

 was made by Sir Edward Bysshe, Clarenceux, to 

 Peregrine Hoby of Bisham, Berks, natural son of 

 Sir Edward Hoby, Nov. 17, 1664. The Bisham 

 family bore no crest nor motto. H. C. C. 



The Keate Family (Vol. viii., pp. 293. 525.) — 

 Should the Query of G. B. B. not be sufficiently 

 answered by the extract from Mr. Burke's Extinct 

 and Dormant Baronetcies of England relating to 

 the Keate family, as I have a full pedigree of that 

 surname, I may perhaps be able, on application, 

 to satisfy him with some genealogical particulars 

 which are not noticed in Mr. Burke's work.

Sir Charles Cotterell (Vol. viii., p. 564.). — Sir 

 Charles Cotterell, the translator of Cassandra, 

 died in 1687. (See Fuller's Worthies, by Nuttall, 

 vol. ii. p. 309.) 'AXitis.

Hue's Travels (Vol. viii., p. 516.). — Not having 

 seen the Gardeners Chronicle, in which C. W. B. 

 says the travels of Messrs. Hue and Gabet in 

 Thibet, Tartary, &c. are said to be a pure fabri- 

 cation, concocted by some Parisian litterateur, I 

 cannot know what degree of credit, if any, is to 

 be given to such a statement. All I wish to com- 

 municate at present for the information of your 

 Querist C. W. B. is this, that I have read an 

 account and abstract of Messrs. Hue and Gabet's 

 Travels in one of the ablest and best conducted 

 French reviews, La Revue des Deux Mondes ; in. 

 which not the least suspicion of fabrication is 

 hinted, or the slightest doubt expressed as to the 

 genuineness of these Travels. Mr. Princep, also, 

 in his work on Thibet, Tartary, &c. quotes largely 

 from Hue's Travels, and avails himself exten- 

 sively of the information contained in them with 

 reference to Buddhism, &c. 



Should the writer in the Gardener's Chronicle 

 have it in his power to prove the Travels to be a 

 fabrication, he will confer a benefit on the world 

 of letters by unmasking the fabricator. J. M.
