day it was minted. . 
I may add that both Van Loon and Pinker- 
ton have engraved the legend in the collar 
erroneously, “ Honi soit qui bon y pense ;” 
it should be “on.” B. NIGHTINGALE. 
ROGER DE COVERLEY. 
In the Spectator’s description of Sir Roger 
de Coverley it is said, “that his great-grand- 
father was the inventor of that famous country 
dance which is called after him.” To the 
tune, as printed in Chappell’s English Me- 
lodies, is appended a note to the effect that it 
was called after “ Roger of Coverley” (Cowley, 
near Oxford). 
Can any one inform me— 
I. Where any notice of that Roger is to be 
found ? ‘ 
II. What is the etymon of “Cowley” 
(Temple Cowley and Church Cowley) ? 
Ill. If any notice of the tune is to be met 
with earlier than 1695, when it was printed 
by H. Playford in his Dancing Master? W.

THE REVEREND THOMAS LEMAN. 
Mr. Editor,—Amongst the later authorities 
on subjects of British-Roman antiquity, the 
Rev. Thomas Leman is constantly referred 
to, and in terms of great commendation. 
Can you inform me whether that gentle- 
man published any work or made an avowed 
communication of any of his researches? His 
name is not found in the Index to the Arche- 
ologia. 
Mr. Leman contributed largely to Mr. 
Hatcher’s edition of Richard of Cirencester ; 
but it is one of the unsatisfactory cireum- 
stances of this work that these contributions, 
and whatever may have been derived from the 
late Bishop of Cloyne, are merely acknow- 
ledged in general terms, and are not distin- 
guished as they occur. 
I believe the MS. of the work was all in 
Mr. Hatcher’s handwriting; some of your 
readers may possibly have the means of know- 
ing in what way he used the materials thus 
given, or to what extent they were adapted 
or annotated by himself. A.

GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. 
Sir,—Will any of your readers favour me 
with an account of the origin, as well as the 
date of the introduction, of the term “ Gothic,” 
as applied to the Pointed Styles of Ecclesias- 
tical Architecture ? 
This Query is, of course, intimately con- 
nected with the much-disputed question of 
the origin of the Pointed Style itself. But 
yet I imagine that the application of the 
term “ Gothic” may be found to be quite dis- 
tinct, in its origin, from the first rise of the 
Pointed Arch. The invention of the Pointed 
Arch cannot, surely, be attributed to the 
Goths ; whence then the origin and the 
meaning of the term Gothic? —_R. ViNcENT.

KATHERINE PEGG. 
Sir, —I think you may safely add Pepys’s 
Diary to the list of books in illustration of 
which you are willing to receive both Que- 
ries and Answers. ‘There is not a passage in 
the Diary that does not deserve to be under- 
stood.
