NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[No. 18. 
landed from a troubled ocean of fear and anxiety on 
which I think I never will venture my fortune and my 
happiness again,” &c. &c. 
There is no reason to question the truth of 
these statements. The letter is believed to be 
the first which appeared signed “ Arricus,” and 
was written many months before the author be- 
came known as Junius, and before any necessity 
had arisen for the exercise of that habitual caution 
which he afterwards evinced in the mention of 
any circumstance at all likely to lead to his detec- 
tion. Would it not, therefore, be worth while to 
ascertain the date of the letter in the Public 
Advertizer which influenced him, and then to 
search the names of the transferrors of stock 
between that time and the 19th August? Many 
of the contributors to the “‘ Norges anp QuERIEs” 
have influence sufficient to obtain permission from 
the proper authority for such a search. It is 
observable, that as the amount transferred formed 
the greatest part of his property, it would be some- 
what considerable, and might not be sold in the 
aggregate, but pass in various sums to several 
purchasers, Jno. Supiow.

Junius and Sir G. Jackson. —I find no one has 
answered my question about Sir George Jackson 
(No. 11. p.172.). I will therefore put another. I 
possess an unpublished letter by Junius to Wood- 
fall, which once belonged to Sir George Jackson. 
My Query is, “ Is it likely he could have obtained 
it from Junius, if he was neither Junius himself 
nor a party concerned?” ‘The manner in which 
Burke evades the question as to himself being the 
author of Junius makes me think two or three 
were concerned in these Letters. ie 
NEW EDITION OF REV. DR. OWEN’S WORKS. 
I gladly avail myself of the hint thrown out by 
“R. R.” (in No. 17.) to state that as Iam engaged 
in editing a reprint of the works of the Rey. Dr. 
Owen, and as I am exceedingly anxious to ensure 
accuracy in the quotations from and references to 
the Fathers, any suggestions which may be fur- 
nished by those of your learned correspondents 
who may be conversant with the works in ques- 
tion, will be very acceptable. I should wish much 
to obtain original editions of the leading works, 
such at that On the Person of Christ; On the 
Work of the Spirit; On the Death of Death, in the 
Death of Christ, Have any of your correspondents 
ever taken the trouble of collating the Greek and 
Latin quotations with the authors quoted from, 
and examined the references made to the Fathers 
and other ancient writers? Any communication 
addressed to the editor of the works of Owen at 
Messrs. Johnstone and Hunter, Publishers, Edin- 
burgh, will be promptly forwarded to me. J. G.

MINOR QUERIES. 
MS. Book of Hours. — In the sale catalogue of 
the library of John Bridges, of Lincoln’s Inn, 
February, 1725, is entered Lot 4311 : — 
“Missale quondam Henrici VII., regis Anglizx, 
ut ex ipsius autographo in codicis initio patet, pul- 
cherrime illuminatum, et iconibus fere 80 exornatum. 
in pergameno, et ornatissime compact.” 
It appears, from Wanley’s Diary (MS. Lansd. 
772.), that this volume, which he calls a Primer, 
was purchased for the Earl of Oxford (for 317. 10s., 
as I learn from a priced copy of the catalogue), 
and was highly valued. ‘To judge from the above 
description, it must have been a very beautiful 
book ; and as it does not seem to be at present 
among the Harleian collection of MSS. in the 
British Museum, I should be glad to learn into 
whose hands it has fallen. It is not the celebrated 
volume of Hours known under the name of the 
Bedford Missal, since that was purchased by Lord 
Harley of Lady Worseley, and is now in the pos- 
session of the Rev. Mr. Tobin;—nor is it the 
book of Hours in the library of the Duke of 
Devonshire (described by Dr. Dibdin in the Bibl. 
Decameron, vol. i. p.155.), which contains the 
autograph notes of Henry VII.;—unor is it the 
similar yolume formerly in the libraries of George 
Wilkinson, of Tottenham Green (sold in 1836), 
and the Rev. Will. Maskell, and now MS. Add. 
17,012. in the British Museum, in which are seen 
the autographs of Henry VII. and his Queen, 
Henry VIII., Catherine of Aragon, and others ; 
—nor is it the beautiful volume of Hours exe- 
cuted for René d'Anjou, and subsequently pre- 
sented to Henry VII. by his chaplain George 
Strangways, Archdeacon of Coventry (now in the 
British Museum, MS. Eg. 1070.) ;—nor, lastly, 
is it the book of Hours in the collection of 
George III. (No. 9.), which contains the auto- 
graph writing of Henry VIII. F. M. 
B. M., Feb. 19. 1850. 
Bess of Hardwick.— Elizabeth, or Bess of 
Hardwick, celebrated for her distaste for celibacy, 
makes a considerable figure in the histories of the 
Cavendish family, who in some degree owed their 
greatness to her judicious purchases and careful 
management of their Derbyshire estates. 
It appears, from the Derbyshire Visitations, that 
she was one of the daughters of John Hardwick, 
of Hardwick co. Derby, by his wife Elizabeth, 
daughter of Thomas Leake, of Hasland co. Derby, 
and that John Hardwick died 19 Hen. VIII. 
Can any of your readers inform me of the pedi- 
gree of this John Hardwick ? — what arms, crest, 
motto and quarterings he made use of ?— what 
persons now living are descended from him ? — 
and what became of his estates ? 
I presume that your typographical arrange-
