Hill and the Uxbridge road, called also Bayswater 
Field. 
We may therefore fairly conclude, that this 
portion of ground, always remarkable for its 
springs of excellent water, once supplied water to 
Baynard, his household, or his cattle; that the 
memory of his name was preserved in the neigh- 
bourhood for six centuries ; and that his watering- 
place now figures on the outside of certain green 
omnibuses in the streets of London, under the 
name of BayswaTER. E.S. 
EVA, DAUGHTER OF DERMOT MACMURROUGH, 
Being a subscriber to Mr. O’Donovan’s new 
translation of The Annals of the Four Masters, I 
beg to inform your correspondent, “ A Hapiess 
Hunter” (No. 6. p. 92.), that the copy which I 
ossess begins with the year 1172; consequently, 
it is hopeless to refer to the years 1135 and 1169. 
In 1173 the death of Mulmurry Mac-Murrough 
is recorded; as also of Dermot O’Kaelly, from 
whom the family name of Kelly is derived; but I 
do not find any notice of the daughter of Dermot 
MacMurrough. J.1.

If some earlier note-maker has not anticipated 
me, please to inform your correspondent from 
Malvern Wells that the published portion of the 
Annals of the Four Masters, by O'Donovan, com- 
mences with the year 1172. The earlier portion 
of the Annals is in the press, and will shortly ap- 
ar. When it sees the light, your querist will, 
it is to be hoped, find an answer. A query, ad- 
dressed personally to Mr.O’Donovan, Queen’s 
College, Gitway, would, no doubt, meet with a 
ready reply from that learned and obliging Irish 
scholar and historian. J.G.

“ A Hapxess Hunter” will find, in the Statute 
of Kilkenny (edited by James Hardiman, Esq., 
M.R.LA. for the Irish Archzological Society in 
1843), pp. 28, 29. note, two incidental notices of 
Eva, daughter of Dermot M‘Morrough ; the first, 
her witnessing a grant made by Richard Strong- 
bow, Earl of Pembroke, during his lifetime; and 
the second, a grant made by her to John Comyn, 
Archbishop of Dublin, in the reign of Richard I. 
(at least sixteen years after her husband’s death), 
“pro salute anime mee et domini comitis Ricardi,” 
&e. Should he not have an opportunity of con- 
sulting the work, I shall have much pleasure in 
furnishing the entire extract, on receiving a line 
from him. Joun Powers.

Giraldus Cambrensis mentions, that MacMur- 
rough, having, in the year 1167, procured letters 
patent from Henry IL. repaired to England, and 
there induced Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke and 
Strighul, to engage to aid him, on condition of 
receiving, in return, the hand of his eldest daugh-~ 
ter, Eva, and the heirship of his dominions. — 
Girald. Cumh. p.761. And further, that Strong- 
bow did not arrive in Ireland until the eve of St. 
Bartholomew’s day, September 1170; he was 
joined at Waterford by Eva and her father, and 
the marriage took place a few days after, and 
during the sacking of that place.— Ibid. p. 773. 
“ Strongbow left, by his second wife Eva, one daugh- 
ter, named Isabella, an infant. * * * Richard the First 
gave Isabella in marriage to William de la Grace, who 
thus became Earl of Pembroke, and was created First 
Earl Marshal of England,” &e.— Fenton’s Hist. Pem-

PLAGIARISMS, OR PARALLEL PASSAGES. 
I have placed under this title in my note-books, 
more than one instance of similarity of thought, 
incident, or expression that I have met with during 
a somewhat desultory course of reading. ‘These 
instances I shall take the liberty of laying before 
you from time to time, leaving you and your 
readers to decide whether such similarity be the 
effect of accident or design; but I flatter myself 
that they may be accepted as parallel passages and 
illustrations, even by those who may differ from me 
in the opinion I have formed on the relation which 
my “loci inter se comparandi” bear to each other. 
In Lady Blessington’s Conversations with Lord 
Byron, pages 176, 177., the poet is represented as 
stating that the lines— 
« While Memory, with more than Egypt's art, 
Embalming all the sorrows of the heart, 
Sits at the altar which she raised to woe, 
And feeds the source whence tears eternal flow!” 
suggested to his mind, “ by an unaccountable 
and incomprehensible power of association,” the 
thought — 
“ Memory, the mirror which affliction dashes to the 
earth, and, looking down upon the fragments, only 
beholds the reflection multiplied ;” 
afterwards apparently embodied in Childe Harold, 
lil. 33. 
« Even as a broken mirror, which the glass 
In every fragment multiplies; and makes 
A thousand images of one that was, 
The same, and still the more, the more it breaks.” 
Now, Byron was, by his own showing, an ardent 
admirer of Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy. See 
Moore’s Life of Byron, vol. i. page 144, Notices 
of the year 1807. 
Turn to Burton, and you will find the following 
passage :— 
“ And, as Praxiteles did by his glass, when he saw a 
scurvy face in it, brake it to pieces, but for that one,
