NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 101. 



to Anncharsis' Travels places if. also in the south. 

 Which'of these nuthoritics is right ? or, can any 

 of your readers tell nie, from personal knowledge, 

 in what part of the island the said Temple of Zeus 

 Panhellenios really stands ? James Laueie. 



197. Statute of Limitations Abroad. — With so 

 many foreigners sojourning among us, I should be 

 glad if you could, by throwing out a hint in your 

 paper, obtain from them what is the statute of 

 liraitations of the several countries to which they 

 belong. CuRiosus. 



198. Tapestrii Story of Justinian. — There is a 

 series of ancient tapestries in Bamburgh Castle, 

 Northumberland, representing certain events in 

 the life of the emperor Justinian. One of these 

 exhibits him in the act of making his celebrated 

 Digest of Law, surrounded by his lawyers ; in a 

 second, he is manumitting slaves before the temple 

 of Janus, at the time, I presume, when he pro- 

 claimed the eternal peace, which lasted two years; 

 in a third, he appears crowned, on his knees, 

 swearing, it should seem, to observe the Lex Ro- 

 mana, which is held up to him in an open book by 

 two lictors ; in the fourth, he is seen in a wild 

 country, with a hunting spear in his hand, coming, 

 as it were by surprise, and in great alarm, upon 

 two hounds in the agonies of death. A dish, 

 from which they may have taken poison, lies on 

 the Ibreground; and a stream, which may possibly 

 have been poisoned, gushes from a neighbouring 

 rock. Figures in the background seem to be 

 slinking away from the scene here represented. 



I shall be much obligeil to any of your corre- 

 spondents who can point out to me the ancient 

 author in whose writings the circumstance alluded 

 to in the last-mentioned picture is detailed.

199. PraecTs Works. — Can any reader of 

 "Notes and Queries" inform me if there be a 

 collected edition of the works of Praed ? Many of 

 your readers are tamiliar with his fugitive pieces 

 ])ublished in Knight's Quarterly Magazine, The 

 Etonian, and other periodicals. And all, I am 

 sure, wdio are acquainted with him, would be glad 

 to see his graceful and elegant productions pub- 

 lished in a collected form. K. S. 



200. Folietani. — Who founded the order of 

 Fulietuni, or leaf-eaters (to the exclusion of all 

 grain and meat) ? where and when ? What Pope 

 dissolved tlie order, and is the Bull extant?

201. Berlin Mean Time. — In the Nautical 

 Almanac the day is supposed to commence at noon, 

 according to the custom of English astronomers. 

 Foreigners, however, ordinarily commence the 

 astronomical day at midnight ; at least those of 

 Pi-;uice, Germany, Italy, and Spain do. But can 

 you or any of your correspondents tell me whether 



it is from the midnight succeeding, or the midnight 

 preceding our noon of the same number ? For 

 instance, taking the longitude of Berlin to be 

 0'' 53"" 35^5 East, would the present moment, 

 which is September 17, 3" 40" 30' Greenwich 

 mean time, if expressed in Berlin mean time, be 

 September 17, 16^ 34" 5^-5, or would it be Sep- 

 tember 16, 16'' 34" 5^-5? (I have reckoned the 

 days by ordinals, as, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, &c., without 

 a 0-day, which, however, the foreigners generally 

 use, employing a cardinal number, the hoiu's, 

 minutes, and seconds being considered as a fraction 

 to be added.) I ask this cjuestion because so many 

 things now are announced in Berlin mean time.

202. De Foe's House at Stoke Neivington. — 

 About the year 1722 De Foe built here a large 

 and handsome house for his own residence. Is it 

 still standing, and where ? Many mansions in the 

 neighbourhood appear to have been erected about 

 that time. Spekiend. 



203. Oxford Fellowships. — 



" Upon this occasion I might repeat what I have 

 observed before, page 33. of these Annals, where the 

 highest fellowships in Oxford in 1534 or 1535 did not 

 exceed 6/. 13s. 'id., nor the lowest fall under 3/., and 

 that was in Brazen Nose College ; at which time New 

 College fellowships were but rated at 3/. 9s. 4f/., nor 

 any of Magdalen fellowships {except two for Yorkshire 

 that were oblir/ed to go ayid preach in the countries nhroad) 

 above 3/. 15s. 4rf., as may be found in Mr. Twine's MS." 

 — Smith's Annals of Univ. Coll., p. 372. 



Can any of your correspondents throw any light 

 upon the parenthetical clause printed in Italics ?

204. Leonard Fell and Judge Fell. — Mr. Josiah 

 Marsh, in A jyopular Life of George Fox, 8vo., 

 London, 1847, p. 83., mentions " Leonard Fell of 

 Beclitf, a brother of the judge." 



I shall be obliged by a reference to the autho- 

 rity on which this statement rests. George Fox 

 fre<piently mentions both Leonard Fell and Judge 

 Fell ; but I cannot find in his Journal the slightest 

 hint that they were in any way connected. Fell 

 is a common name in the north of Lancashire. 

 Leonard Fell was one of the preachers who some- 

 times accompanied George Fox in his wanderings. 

 Judge Fell was a staunch member of the Church of 

 England. Llewellyn. 



205. '■'■Cleanliness is next to Godliness." — Will 

 you, or one of your correspondents, have the good- 

 ness to inform me whence is derived the quotation 

 "Cleanliness is next to Godliness?" 



A Mussulman. 



206. Davies Queries. — I shall feel much obliged 

 by a correct description of the monument erected 

 to Sir John Davys, Davis, or Davies, the cele- 

 brated lawyer and poet, in St. INIartln's church.
