NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[No. 6. 
Mr. N. characterises it as “a valuable work, richly 
deserving to be better known.” 
2. There are two Histories of King Edward II., 
one in small folio, of which the title is accurately 
given by your correspondent, and another in 8vo., 
the title of which is given at the head of the re- 
print in the Harleian Miscellany, vol. i. p. 69. 
Both these editions bear the date of 1680. I had 
always supposed that the edition in 8vo. was a 
mere reprint of the folio; but on now comparing 
the text of the folio with that of the 8vo. as given 
in the Harl. Miscellany, I find the most essential 
differences; so much so, as hardly to be recog- 
nised as the same. Mr. Park, the last editor of 
the Harl. Miscellany (who could only find the folio), 
appears to have been puzzled by these differences, 
and explains them by the supposition that the 
diction had been much modified by Mr. Oldys 
(the original editor of the Miscellany), a suppo- 
sition which is entirely erroneous. ‘Lhe ‘“ Pub- 
lisher’s Advertisement to the Reader,” and the 
“ Author's Preface to the Reader,” signed “E. F.,” 
and dated ‘“ Feb. 20. 1627,” are both left out in 
the 8vo.; and it will be seen that the anonymous 
authorship and date of composition in the title- 
page are suppressed, for which we have substi- 
tuted, “found among the papers of, and (supposed 
to be) writ by, the Right Honourable Henry 
Viscount Faulk land.” 
Antony Wood, without absolutely questioning 
its authenticity, seems to have regarded it as a 
mere ephemeral production, as brought out ata 
time “ when the press was open for all such books 
that could make any thing against the then go- 
vernment, with a preface to the reader patch’d 
up from very inconsiderable authors, by Sir Ja. 
H. as is supposed.” — Athen. Oxon. vol. ii. p. 565. 
There is not the slightest evidence to connect the 
authorship either of the folio or the 8vo. with 
Henry Viscount Falkland. 
Your correspondent A. T. (p. 59.) will find all 
the information he desires about the Rev. Thomas 
Leman, and the assistance he rendered to Mr. 
Hatcher in his edition of Richard of Cirencester, 
in Mr. Britton’s Memoirs of the Life, Writings, | 
and Character of Henry Hatcher, author of the 
History of Salisbury, &c., printed in 1847, to ac- 
company Mr. Britton’s own Autobiography. See 
pp: 7 and 8. Cris. 
To eat Humble Pie. 
Mr. Editor, —Your correspondent, Mr. Ham- 
MACK, having recorded Mr. Pepys’s love of “ brave 
venison pasty,” whilst asking the derivation of the 
phrase, “eating humble pie,” in reference to a bill 
of fare of Pepys’s age, I venture to submit that 
the humble pie of that period was indeed the pie 
named in the list quoted; and not only so, but 
that it was made out of the “umbles” or entrails 
of the deer, a dish of the second table, inferior of 
course to the venison pasty which smoked upon 
the dais, and therefore not inexpressive of that 
humiliation which the term “eating humble pie” 
now painfully describes. The “umbles” of the 
deer are constantly the perquisites of the game- 
keeper. ALG.

MINOR QUERIES. 
Eva, Daughter of Dermot Mac Murrough. 
Mr. Editor, —I should be glad if any of your 
readers, Irish or English, could inform me whether 
we have any other mention of Eva, daughter of 
Dermot Mae Murrough, last independent king of 
Leinster, than that she became, in the spring of the 
year 117-, the wife of Richard Strongbow, Earl of 
Pembroke, at Waterford. 
Any fortunate possessor of O’Donovan's new 
translation of The Annals of the Four Masters, 
would much oblige me by referring to the dates 
1135 and 1169, and also to the period included 
between them, for any casual notice of the birth of 
this Eva, or mention of other slight incident with 
which she is connected, which may there exist. 
A Hapress Hunter. 
Malvern Wells, Nov. 20. 1849. 
John de Daundelyon. 
Sir,—In the north chancel of St. John’s Church, 
Margate, is a fine brass for John Daundelyon, 
1445, with a large dog at his feet; referring to 
which the Rev. John Lewis, in his History of the 
Isle of Tenet, 1723 (p. 98.), says: 
“ The two last bells were cast by the same founder, 
and the tenor the gift of one of the family of Daunde- 
lyon, which has been extinct since 1460. Concerning 
this bell the inhabitants repeat this traditionary rhyme: 
John de Daundelyon, with his great dog, 
Brought over this bell on a mill-cog.” 
This legend is still given to visitors of tlis fine 
old church. Will some of your antiquarian cor- 
respondents throw some light on the obscurity ? 
Genealogy of European Sovereigns. 
Sir,—Can you or any of your correspondents 
tell me of one or two of the best works on the 
“ Genealogy of European Sovereigns?” I know 
of one,—Anderson’s Royal Genealogies, London, 
1732, folio. But that is not of as late a date as I 
should wish to see. Owe 
Duke of Ashgrove. 
At p. 14. of Doctor Simon Forman’s Diary 
(edited by Mr. Halliwell, 1849), mention is twice 
made of Forman being engaged as “ Scolmaster to 
the Duke of Ashgrove’s Sonnes.” Who was the 
person thus alluded to? P.C. 58.8.
