and jou felt almost a chill as the transparent ice- 

 bergs were splashed on. 



It" there have not been two Messrs. Barker con- 

 nected with the Panoramn, Mr. Cunningham must 

 be incorrect in his date, for I was not in existence 

 in 1806. A. G.

Minor (aueitcS. 



Ves^etable Sympathy. — I have been told that 

 Sir Humphrey Davy asserted that the shoots of 

 trees, if transplanted, will only live as long as the 

 parent stock — supposing that to die naturally. 

 How is this to be accounted for, if true ? 



A. A.D. 



Court Dress. — When was the present court 

 dress first establislied as the recognised costume 

 for state ceremonials? and if (here are extant any 

 orders of the Earl Marshal upon the subject, 

 where are they printed ? Henco. 



Dieu et mon Drait. — When was this first adopted 

 as the motto of our sovereigns ? I have heard 

 widely different dates assigned to it. 



Leicestrensis. 



Cachecope Bell. — In the ancient accounts of 

 the churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary- de- 

 Castro, Leicester, and also in those of St. Martin 

 in the same town, the term " cachecope," " kache- 

 cope," " catche coppe," or "^ catch-cor[)e-bell," is 

 not of unfrequent occurrence : e.g., in the account 

 for St. Mary's for the year 1490, we have : 



" For castynge ye cachecope bell, js. 



" It. To Thos. Raban for me'dyng ye kachecope bell 

 whole, iiijrf." 



I have endeavoured in vain to ascertain the 

 meaning and derivation of the word, which is not 

 to be found in Mr. Halliwell's excellent Diction- 

 ary of Archaic Words. Can you enlighten me on 

 the subject? Leicestrensis. 



The Image of both Churches. — A curious work, 

 treating largely of the schism between the Catholics 

 and Protestants in the reigu of Queen Elizabeth, 

 was printed atTornay in 1G23, under the following 

 title: The Image of bolhe Churches^ Hieriisutem ami 

 Babel, Unilie and Confusion, Obedience and Sedi- 

 tion, by P. D. M. What is the proof that this was 

 written by Dr. Matthew Paterson ? 



Edward P. Rimbault. 



Double iVa/7ie.s-.— Perhaps some one would ex- 

 plain why so many persons formerly bore two 

 names, as " Hooker alias Vowel." Illegitimacy 

 may have sometimes caused it : but this will not 

 explain those cases where the bearers ostentatiously 

 Bet forth both names. Perhaps they were the names 

 of both parents, used even by lawfully born persons 

 to distinguish themselves from others of the same 

 paternal name. T. 



" If this fair flower," ^-c— Would you kindly 

 find a place for the lines which follow? I have 

 but slender hopes of discovering their author, but 

 think that their beauty is such as to deserve a 

 reprint. They are not by Waller ; nor Dryden, 

 as far as I know. I found them in a periodical 

 published in Scotland, during the last century, and 

 called The Bee. 



" Lines supposed to have been addressed, with the 

 present of a white rose, by a Yorkist, to a lady of the 

 Lancastrian faction. 



' If this fail flower oflfend thy sight, 

 It ill thy bosom bear : 

 'Twill blash to be outmatched in white 

 And turn Lancastrian there!'" 



I observe tkat amongst the many " Notes " and 

 quotations on the subject of the supposed power 

 of prophecy before death, no one has cited those 

 most beautiful lines of Campbell in "Lochiel's

Hugh Pcachell— Sir John 3Iarsham. — Can any

 specting one Hugh Peachell, of whom I find the fol- 

 lowing "curious notice in a bundle of MSS. in the 

 State^Paper Office, marked ''America and West 

 Indies, No. 481a."

 xvi^ many persons of good esteem, and was last with 

 Coll. Barwick. It was observed that he gained much

 ing such comforts as the Devine, one parson Lesliely,

 quarter of an hour afterwards. Tliis you may report

 other hand. He had lOO"'' for ye doing of itt. There
