NOTES AND QUERIES. 



507 



access to any book wliicli would easily give me the 

 required information, and it did not appear to me 

 to be any great sin in making use of "J^otes and 

 Queries " for what I conceive is its legitimate 

 object, the communication of knowledge ; and I 

 do not think the space my Query occupied was 

 wasted when it called forth the interesting reply 

 of P. C. S. S. 



I would now take the liberty of asking C. to 

 explain the following extract from Souveraiiis du 

 Monde, not finding any particulars respecting the 

 first marriage here alluded to in those books to 

 which I have been able to refer : — 



" Les enfans iiaturels du Hoi Jaques II. sont 1. . . . 

 2. . . . 3. . . . 



" 4. Catherine Darnley, mariee en premieres noces 

 avec Thomas Wentwortb, Baron de Raby ; et en 

 secondcs noces, en 1699, avec James, Comte d' Anglesey. 

 Elle est morte en 1700. Sa mere etolt Catherine 

 Sedley, Comtesse de Dorchester, Baronne d'Arlington. 



" 5. N. mariee avec le Due de Buckingham le 27 

 Mars, 1706." 



You will observe that my former inquiry re- 

 ferred to the daughter above stated as the fifth 

 child. 



It is plain that the compiler of Les Souveraim 

 du Monde is in error in making the wife of the 

 Earl of Anglesey a distinct person from the wife 

 of the Duke of Buckingham. 



Who was the wife of the Thomas Wentworth 

 here mentioned ? and, if a natural daughter of 

 James II., I should be glad of the following par- 

 ticulars, — the names of her mother and self — the 

 dates of her birth, marriage, and death — and the 

 date of the death of her husband. 



I must apologise for trespassing thus at length 

 upon your space. F. B. Helton. 



Clai-hsons Richmond (Vol. iii., p. 372.). — The 

 late Mr. Clarkson's manuscripts were transferred 

 to his son, the Rev. Christ. Clarkson ; whose ad- 

 dress might probably be obtained by Q. D. from 

 J. B. Simpson, Esq., Richmond, Yorkshire. M. 



MSS. of Sir Thomas Phillipps (Vol. iii., p. 358.). 

 — I see that in the " Xotices to Corresp'indents," 

 in No. 79., for May 3, you inform "\V. P. A. that 

 the Catalogue of Si?- Thomas Phillipps s MSS. is 

 privately printed, and that there are copies at the 

 Bodleian, Athenaeum, and Society of Antiquaries. 



You may perhaps be interested to know that a 

 catalogue of about three thousand of the Middleliill 

 MSS. is to be found in a work entitled Cutalogi 

 Lihrorum MSSorum qui iu Bihliothccis Gallife, 

 Jlibertiia, Helvetia!, Uelgice, ]3ritunnice Magna, Ilis- 

 panicB, Lusitanicc asservantur : a Gustavo Haencl: 

 Lipsias, 1830. A copy of this important work is 

 in the reading-room of the ]5ritish ^luscum. 



I may add that a cojiy of tlie j)rivalely printed 

 Catalogue of Sir T. Phillipps s MSS. is now to be 

 found in the British Museum, but it has only 



recently (within the last few months) made its way 

 into the Catalogue. C. W. Goodwin. 



Meaning of Pitcher (Vol. iii., p. 476.). — Is not 

 your excellent correspondent Ma. Singer mis- 

 taken in supposing that the ears are the ears of the 

 scabbard or pitcher ? If you draw one thing out 

 of another by the ears, it must be by the ears of 

 the first, not of the second ; yet he also says that it 

 is used for hilts. C. B. 



Antiquity of Smoking (Vol. iii., p. 484.). — May 

 I add, in my defence as to the Thracians' smoking, 

 that all I said was, that there was nothing in 

 Solinus, chap. 15. I had looked at the Bipont 

 edition, in which, as I now see, the passage is in 

 chapter 10. C. B. 



Principle of Association (Vol. iii., p. 424.). — I 

 cannot but doubt whether " La partie reelle de la 

 metaphysique" means " all that has yet been done 

 in the philosophy of the human mind." I appre- 

 hend it means the material, or physical part; that 

 which is connected with the structure of the body. 

 This would apply to Hartley, though not to ]\Ir. 

 Gay : but I speak in the dark, for I have not 

 that edition of La Place which your correspon- 

 dent refers to. C. B. 



Corpse makes a Right of Way (Vol. iii., 

 p. 477.). — That a funeral creates a right of way, is 

 an error founded on the fact that, being a remark- 

 able, and sometimes a crowded event, it is not an 

 uufrequent evidence of the previous existence of a 

 right of way. C. B. 



Chloe (Vol. iii., p. 449.). — In reply to a Query 

 in one of your late numbers respecting the mean- 

 ing of the expression " as drunk as Chloe," it has 

 been suggested to me that it refers to a lady who 

 is mentioned often in Prior's Poems, and who was 

 celebrated for the propensity alluded to. Eryx. 



Family of Sir J. Banks (Vol. iii., p. 390.). — It 

 appears, on a refei-ence to Burke's Commoners, 

 that the ancestors of Sir J. Banks were possessed 

 of property in and about Keswick ; and the pre- 

 sent representative of the family possesses black- 

 lead mines in Borrowdale, Cumberland. It is, 

 therefore, very probable that the Mr. John Banks 

 in question may have been of the same family, 

 though not a lineal descendant of Sir J. Banks. 



L. IL 



Verse Lyon (Vol. iii , p. 46G.). — In the literal 

 reprint of Puttenham, 1811, I find the words ex- 

 tracted by J. F. 1\I., with one unimportant excep- 

 tion, "And they called \tVerse Lyon." J. F.M. may 

 find some account of Leonine verses, which "are 

 pro[)erly the Roman hexameters and pentameters 

 rhymed," in Price's edition of Warton's History of 

 English Poetry, vol. i. p. cxviii. II. G. T. 



Hvronsewes (Vol. iii., p. 450.). — A probable 

 derivation is given in Tyrwhitt's note on the pas-
