and more apparent. Meritorious as are the 
works of Brunet and Ebert, and useful as 
they may be to collectors, they are inadequate 
to the wants of men of letters. Henceforth, 
the bibliographer who aims at completeness 
and accuracy must’ restrict himself to one 
class of books. 
M. Oettinger appears to have acted on this 
principle, and has been happy in the choice of 
his subject — 
“The proper study of mankind is man.” 
The work is comprehensive in its object, 
judicious in its plan, accurate in its details, 
as far as the specimen proceeds, and an un- 
questionable desideratum in literature. 
Ainsi, vive M. Edouard-Marie Oettinger! 
Vive la Bibliographie biographique !

QUERY AS TO NOTES—-GREENE OF GREEN’S 
NORTON. 
Mr. Editor, —I congratulate you on your 
happy motto, but will you give your readers 
the results of your own experience and prac- 
tice, and tell them the simplest mode of making 
Notes, and, when made, how to arrange them 
so as to find them when required ? 
I have been in the habit of using slips of 
paper — the blank turn-overs of old-fashioned 
letters before note paper came into fashion — 
and arranging in subjects as well as I could; 
but many a note so made has often caused me 
a long hour’s looking after: this ought not so 
to be ; pigeon-holes or portfolios, numbered or 
lettered, seem to be indispensable. 
Has any reader a Note whereby to tell who 
are the present representatives of Greenes of 
“Green’s Norton?” or who was “ Richard 
Greene, Apothecary,” who was living 1770, 
and bore the arms of that family ? H. T, E.

is, send your Notes to us, who will print and index 
them. — Ep.] 
BUSTS OF CHARLES I. AND JAMES I. — 
ANCIENT TAPESTRY. 
1. Where is now the bust of Charles IL, 
formerly in Westminster Hall, and engraved 
by Peter Mazell for Pennant’s London, in 
which engraving the bust is attributed to Ber- 
nini, though Vertue thought differently ? (See 
Dallaway’s Walpole, 1826, ii. 109.) 
2. Also, where is the correspondent bust 
of James I., formerly at Whitehall, of which 
there is an engraving by N. Smith ? 
3. What has become of the tapestry of the 
reign of Henry VI. which formerly adorned 
the Painted Chamber in the ancient Palace of 
Westminster? It appears that it remained in 
one of the lower apartments from the time 
when it was taken down in 1800 until the 
year 1810; that it was then sold to Charles 
Yarnold, Esq., of Great Helen’s, Bishopsgate 
Street, for 10/. After his death in 1825, in 
the auction of his collection at Southgate’s 
(June 11. that year, lot 238), it was sold as 
“ Seven Pieces representing the siege of 
Troy,” for 7/. to Mr. Matheman. Who was 
Mr. Matheman? and what has now become 
of his acquisition ? 
Another piece of tapestry in Mr. Yarnold’s 
possession, but it may be presumed in far 
better condition, was bought by Mr. Tesch- 
maker, his executor, for 63/. This was de- 
scribed as “ The Plantagenet ‘Tapestry, in fine 
preservation, containing 23 full-sized portraits 
of the different branches of the Houses of 
York and Lancaster: among the most pro- 
minent are Margaret of Anjou ; Cicely Duchess 
of York; the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards 
Richard III.; Edward of Lancaster; Henry 
VI.; Earl of March, son of Richard (Duke of 
York and) afterwards Edward IV.; Henry 
VIL.; Clarence [?] Duke of York,” &c. This 
description raises one’s curiosity greatly, and 
query, has this tapestry been elsewhere de- 
scribed? At the meeting of the Archzological 
Association at Warwick in 1847, it was sup- 
posed to have come from St. Mary’s Hall, Co- 
ventry ; but that idea seems to have arisen 
merely from its similarity of design to the 
tapestry which is now there. N.
