his name ; or it may be descriptive of the picture, 

 which then would be an illustration of this pro- 

 verb. Inscribed either by the artist himself, or 

 by some officious person, who thus " tacked the 

 moral full in sight." 



I think I have seen a similar inscription some- 

 where in Flanders on an antique drinking-cup, 

 a very appropriate place for such wholesome 

 counsel. 



I should like to know the subject of the picture 

 your correspondent refers to. In modern Dutch 

 the proverb reads thus : 



" Houd maat of laat." 



E. F. Woodman. 



The above Dutch proverb means, in English : 



" Keep within bounds, or leave off."

Captain Eyre's Drawings (Vol. ix., p. 207.). — 

 The mention of Captain Eyre's drawings of the 

 Fortifications in London, and the editorial note 

 appended thereto, remind me of an inquiry I have 

 long been desirous of making respecting the 

 curious, if authentic, drawings by this same 

 Captain Eyre, illustrative of Shakspeare's resi- 

 dence in London, described in one of your earlier 

 volumes (Vol. vii., p. 545.). I have not myself 

 had an opportunity of consulting Mr. Halliwell's 

 first volume, but a friend who looked at it for me 

 says he could not find any account of them there. 

 In whose possession are they now ? M. A. 



Shrewsbury. 



Sir Thomas Browne and Bishop Ken (Vol. ix., 

 p. 220.). — Had Mr. Mackenzie Wai.cott re- 

 ferred to a preceding volume of " N. & Q." 

 (Vol. viii., p. 10.), he would have seen that the 

 " coincidences " between these writers had been 

 already noticed in your pages by one of the 

 bishop's biographers. 



The life of Ken, from the pen of your corre- 

 spondent, is omitted in Mr. Mackenzie Wal- 

 cott's list, and may be equally unknown to that 

 gentleman as the note before mentioned ; but in 

 the Quarterly Review (vol. lxxxix. p. 278.), and 

 in many pages of Mr. Anderdon's valuable vo- 

 lume, Mb. Mackenzie Walcott will find ample 

 mention of the work in question. 



J. H. Markland. 



Unfinished Works (Vol. ix., p. 148.). — J. M. is 

 informed that Dr. Shirley Palmer's Medical Dic- 

 tionary is finished. From the Preface it appears 

 to have been finished in 1841 ; but not published 

 (in a complete form) till 1845, with the title A 

 Pentaglot Dictionary of the Terms employed in 

 Anatomy, &c. ; London, Longman & Co. ; Birming- 

 ham, Langbridge. M. D. 



" The Lounger's Common-place Booh" (Vol. ix., 

 p. 174.). — The editor of this publication was 

 Jeremiah Whitaker Newman, who died July 27, 

 1839, aged eighty years. Some information re- 

 specting him and his work, supplied by me, ap- 

 peared in the Gentleman's Magazine, June, 1846.
