NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 92. 



now before me the plate (a woodcut) of Erhardiis 

 a Mucklientliall — probably in modern German, 

 Erbardt von Muckenthal — dated 1634. It con- 

 sists of bis armorial bearings, surmounted by a 

 helmet, &c., appai'ently indicative of nobility ; but 

 the tinctures not being expressed, I cannot give 

 the blazon. The charge on his shield seems to be 

 intended for a lamb salient. F. S. Q. 



In the Surrenden Collection there are several 

 loose impressions of Sir Edward Bering's book 

 plate, bearing date 1630. It is a very elaborate 

 one, and of a size adapted only for a folio volume; 

 one of them is now before me, with the date most 

 clearly and distinctly marked. L. B. L. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



Mr. Macaulay's vigorous sketch of the gallant cornet 

 of horse who resigned his commission for the toga, and, 

 after figuring during his life as a statesman than whom 

 " none has left a more stainless, and none a more splen- 

 did name," was stricken down in full council while 

 straining his feeble voice to rouse the drooping spirit 

 of his country, forms the fifth part of The Traveller's 

 Library : and it would be difficult to find a volume of 

 the same compass better calculated to furnish a couple 

 of hours' amusing and instructive reading than iniliain 

 Pitt, Earl of Chatham, hy Thomas Babiiu/toii Macaulay. 



Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell, on Tuesday 

 next, an extensive collection of Autograph Letters, 

 chiefly of distinguished Actors, Actresses, and Drama- 

 tic Writers, but including a very interesting series of 

 letters, documents, and papers relating to the Byron 

 family, and, what is of still more importance and his- 

 torical value, the Autograph Correspondence of 

 Charles 1. with Captain Titus, written during his 

 imprisonment in Carisbrook Castle, and treating of his 

 proposed escape from it ; and also some letters of 

 Charles II., addressed by him, after the Restoration, 

 to the same zealous adherent. On the following day 

 Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will be employed in 

 the disposal of a very select Collection of Autograph 

 Letters and Historical Documents, including Letters 

 aud Autographs of Queen Elizabeth, James 1., King 

 John of France (Jehan le Bon), Richard Duke of 

 York, Philip II. of Spain, and many documents con- 

 nected with the great Anglo-Norman Families, and the 

 Royal Houses of France and Normandy.
