Queries as to “ Lines on London Dissenting Mi- 
nisters” of a former Day.— Not having made Notes 
of the verses so entitled, I beg to submit the fol- 
lowing Queries :— 
1. Does there exist any printed or manuscript 
copy of lines of the above description, in the course 
of which Pope’s ‘ Modest Foster” is thus intro-+ 
duced and apostrophised :— 
« But see the accomplish’d orator appear, 
Refined in judgment, and in language clear ; 
Thou only, Foster, hast the pleasing art 
At once to charm the ear and mend the heart !” 
Other conspicuous portraits are those of Tuomas 
Brapsory, Isaac Warts, and SAmMuEL CHANDLER. 
The date of the composition must be placed between 
1704 and 1748, but I have to solicit information 
as to who was its author. 
2. Has there been preserved, in print or manu- 
script, verses which circulated from about 1782 — 
1784, on the same body of men, as characterised, 
severally, by productions of the vegetable world, 
and, in particular, by flowers ? 
curious, nor ill-selected and arranged. One in- 
dividual, for example, finds his emblem in a sweet- 
briar ; another, in a hollyhock; and a third, in a 
tulip. Ricuarp Winter, James Jovycr, Huan 
WasuHINGTON, are parts of the fragrant, yet some- 
what thorny and flaunting nosegay. ‘hese inti- 
mations of it may perhaps aid recollection, and 
lead to the wished-for disclosure. It came from 
the hand, and seemed to indicate at least the theo- 
logical partialities of the lady* who culled and 
bound together the various portions of the wreath.

Dutch Language.—“E. Vex” will be indebted 
to “ Roreropamus,” or any other correspondent, 
who can point out to him the best modern books 
for acquiring a knowledge of the Dutch language, 
—an Anglo-Dutch Grammar and Dictionary. 
Horns.—1. Why is Moses represented in sta- 
tues with horns? ‘The idea is not, I think, taken 
from the Bible. 
2. What is the reason for assigning horns to a 
river, as in the “ Tauriformis Aufidus.” 
3. What is the origin of the expression “ to give 
aman horns,” for grossly dishonouring him? It 
is met with in late Greek. L. C. 
Cambridge, March 27. 
Marylebone Gardens.—In what year did Mary- 
lebone Gardens finally close ? Naso. 
“A daughter of the late Joseph Shrimpton, Esq., of 
High Wycombe, 
The bouquet is | 
Toom Shawn Cattie—I find these words (Gaelic, 
I believe, for Tom John Gattie) in an old Diary, 
followed by certain hieroglyphics, wherewith I 
was wont to express “recommended for perusal.” 
T have lost all trace of the recommender, and have 
hunted in vain through many a circulating library 
list for the name, which I believe to be that of 
some book or song illustrating the domestic life 
of our Western Highlanders. Can any of your 
readers assist me in deciphering my own note ? 
Merantron. 
Love's Last Shift.—In the first edition of Peig- 
not’s Manuel du Biblioplide, published in 1800, 
the title of Congreve’s “ Mourning Bride” is ren- 
dered “ L’Epouse du Matin.” Can any of your 
readers inform me whether it is in the same work 
that the title of ‘“‘ Love’s Last Shift” is translated 
by “ Le dernier Chemise de Amour?” if not, in 
what other book is it? H. C. pe St. Crorx. 
Cheshire-round.—“ W. P. A.” asks the meaning 
of the above phrase, and where it is described. 
Why is an Earwig called a “ Coach-bell 2”— 
Your correspondents, although both kind and 
learned, do not appear to have given any satis- 
factory answer to my former query —why a lady- 
bird is called Bishop Barnaby. Probably there 
will be less difficulty in answering another ento- 
mological question—Why do the country-people 
in the south of Scotland call an earwig a “ coach- 
bell?” The name “earwig” itself is sufficiently 
puzzling, but “ coach-bell” seems, if possible, still 
more utterly unintelligible. Lxecour. 
Chrysopolis.—Chrysopolis is the Latin name 
for the town of Parma, also for that of Scutari, in 
Turkey. Is the etymological connection of the 
two names accidental? and how did either of 
them come to be called the “ Golden City?” 
R.eM. M. 
Pimlico. —In Aubrey'’s Surrey, he mentions 
that he went to a Pimlico Garden, somewhere on 
Bankside. Can any of your correspondents inform 
me of the derivation of the word “ Pimlico,” and 
why that portion of land now built on near to 
Buckingham House, through which the road now 
runs to Chelsea, is called Pimlico ? R. H. 
April I. 1850. 
Zenobia.—I have read somewhere, that Zenobia, 
Queen of Palmyra, was of Jewish origin, but am 
now at a loss to retrace it. Could any of your 
correspondents inform me where I have read it ? 
A. Fiscurt. 
Henry Ryder, Bishop of Killaloe. —“W.D. Rh.” 
requests information in reference to the paternity 
of Henry Ryder, D.D., who was born in Paris, 
and consecrated Bishop of Killaloe in 1692.
