Vineyard (Vol. ii., pp. 392. 414. 446. 522.).— 

 Jn reference to the subject of the name "Vine- 

 yard" being still applieil to certain places in Enij- 

 land, it may be curious to note that the little 

 village of .Fingest, on the borders of Oxou and 

 Bucks, was formerly called Tingest; and a farm 

 in the same parish, now known as the i^'ineing, 

 appears on an old tablet in the church as " the 

 Vineing." 1 should add that the country around 

 is full of steep sunny slopes; and would be, in a 

 warmer climate admirably adapted for vines

Legend represented in Frettcnham Church 

 (Vol. iii, p. 407.). — Your Cambridge correspon- 

 dent C. J. E. will do well to refer to the Acta 

 Sanctorum of the Bollandists, " June 25, St. Eloy," 

 — or to any of the numerous biographical notices 

 of that saint, so dear to the French, especially to 

 the Limousins ; and he will find, if not the iden- 

 tical legend represented in Frettcnham Church, 

 the one which probably suggested it. A. B. 



Famihj of Roive (Vol. iii., p. 408.). — In answer 

 to the incpiiry of Tee Bee, I beg to refer him to 

 vol. iii. No. io., pages 225. to 231. of the Anti- 

 quarian Repertory, where he will find the will of 

 Sir Thomas Rowe of the 2d ISIay, 1569 ; of his 

 wife Dame Sarah Rowe of the 21st March, 

 1579 ; and of Sir Thomas Rowe of Wood<brd. 

 They were communicated to the publishers by 

 T. Astle, Esq., as well worthy of publication, 

 and containing many pious and charitable be- 

 quests, particular directions for their funerals, and 

 tlie price of wearing apparel in the reign of 

 Queen Elizabeth.

[notes on books, sales, catalogues, etc. 



It having occurred to Mr. Hudson Turner that our 

 national records might he made availahle to illustrate 

 the history of architecture in England, he has for the 

 last sixteen years " made a brief in his note-hook " of 

 every fiict bearing on the subject which came under 

 his notice in the course of his daily reference to those 

 documents for professional objects ; and he has now 

 given to the world some portions of the valuable mate- 

 rials thus collected in a handsome volume pub'ished 

 by Mr. Parker, of Oxford, under the title of Some 

 Account of Domestic Architecture in Encihind, from the 

 Conquest to the end of the Tliirteenth Century, with nu- 

 merous illustrations of crisli/ig Uemains from original 

 Drawings. It is not, of course, within our limits to 

 trace even briefly the results of Mr. Turner's labours, 

 or to point out how much light he has thrown upon a 

 branch of architectural study which, although involved 

 in great obscurity, has hitherto received but little at- 

 tention. But we may remark that its perusal sliows, 



that to an intimate acquaintance with the invaluable 

 materials for elucidating every department of historical 

 or antiquarian knowledge to be found in our records, 

 Mr. Turner adds considerable tact in the employment 

 of his materials, and has endeavoured therefore, and 

 very successfully, to make his history of domestic 

 architecture an important contribution towards that of 

 our social progress. The consequence is, that while, 

 thanks to the valuable assistance of Mr. Parker, the 

 architectural student will find in this handsomely illus- 

 trated volume much to instruct and delight 1dm, it 

 may be read with interest by those who are altogether 

 indifferent to the subject to which it is more imme- 

 diately devoted. 



Our able and indefatigable contributor, Dr. llimbault, 

 has put forth for the especial delight of those who, 

 like Mopsa, " love a ballad in print," A Little Book of 

 Songs and Ballads gathered from Ancient Munich Books 

 1\IS. and Printed. The various pieces contained in it 

 have been selected from many volumes of considerable 

 rarity, and are illustrated by numerous notes, which 

 are characterised by Dr. Ilimbault's accustomed ability 

 and industry. 



Mr. Delf has received from America some copies of 

 an octavo volimie bearing the title of ^ Library Manual, 

 containing a Catalogue liaisonnee of upwards of Twelve 

 Thousand of the most important Works in evert/ De- 

 partment of Knowledge. Although very imperfectly 

 executed (and the circumstances under which we are 

 informed it was executed may perhaps be pleaded as 

 some excuse for such imperfections), it is still a book 

 which might with advantnge he placed on the shelves 

 of newly formed literary societies, as a means of in- 

 forming the members as to the principal works existing 

 in the various departments of learning. The idea upon 

 which the book is founded is so good, and its object 

 one of such obvious utility, that we have little doubt but 

 it will ere long be much more successfidly carried out.
