NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 105. 



It is, in fact, the mother cbnrcli of others in the I 

 vicinity, which are only chapels of ease ; but as the 

 population increased around them, and fell away, 

 from some cause or other, from the precincts of 

 the old church, it seems to have been deserted and 

 dismantled of everything but what is barely neces- 

 sary for burials, and an occasional wedding and 

 baptism. It is the south aisle only which has been 

 removed, and that by authority, many years ago ; 

 but certainly, it has on that side, and from the 

 want of glass in the fine tower window, a deso- 

 late and ruinous appearance. In the churchyard 

 there is a most venerable specimen of a noble yew- 

 tree. H. T. E.

Italian Writer on Political Economy — Death of 

 Carli (Vol. iv., p. 175.). — It is inq\iired, "What 

 was the first work by an Italian writer on any 

 element of political economy ? and in what year did 

 Carli, the celebrated economist, die ? " The latter 

 question I at once answer by stating that it was 

 on the 22d of February, 1795, in his seventy-fifth 

 year, having been born at Cape d'Istria, an epis- 

 copal town of Illyria, April, 1720, of a noble 

 family. His collected works, embracing almost 

 the omne scihile, were published in 1784 — 1794, 

 nineteen octavo volumes, at Milan, Delle Opei-e 

 del Signor Gianrinaldo C'onte Carli, Pi-esidente 

 Emerito del Supremo Conciglio di Puhhlica Eco- 

 nomiu, ^'C. The first publication, confined to 

 fifteen volumes, was extended to nineteen by him, 

 Ddle Antichitu Italiclie^ con Appendire, de' Docu- 

 nienti, &rc., 1793^1795. Few writers have ex- 

 ceeded him in the variety of his subjects, which 

 combined the drama, poetry, translations, history, 

 philosophy, the monetary system, political economy, 

 &c. As to your correspondent Alpha's first in- 

 quiry, it will be satisfactorily answereil by con- 

 sulting the collection printed at Milan in 1803, 

 Scrittori Classici Italiani, first volume of the fifty 

 in 8vo., to which the entire extend up to that 

 pei'iod, since when several have appeared. J. R.

Epigram ascribed to Mary Queen of Scots 

 (Vol. iv., p. 316). — The four lines inscribed in 

 the copy of Sallust mentioned by C, and which 

 have been supposed to be the composition of the 

 Queen of Scots, will be found in the second book 

 of Ovid's Amores, Elegia 1 8, 11. 5—8. C. W. G. 



Surplices (Vol. iv., p. 192.). — In rcfei-ence to 

 the origin, use, &c. of this and other ecclesiastical 

 vestments, let J. Y. consult the following autho- 

 rities : — Bona, llerum Lilurgicai-um, lib. i. cap. 24. ; 

 Gerberti Vetns Liturgia Alemannica, torn. i. dis- 

 quisit. iii. cap 3. ; Goar, Rituale Graciim ; Du 

 Cange's Glossary ; and, Ferrarius dc Be Vestiaria. 

 The information on the subject, hence to be ob- 

 tained, is brielly epitomised in the appendix to 



Palmer's Antiq. of the English Liturgy. Let J. Y. 

 also look at Hawkins' Hist. Music, vol. ii. p. 432. ; 

 vol. iii. p. 71. ; likewise at Bishop Challoner's Gar- 

 den of the Soul, pp. X. 123. (edit. 1824) ; and, if 

 he have a full abundance of leisure, with suffi- 

 cient resolution to abandon it to an undertaking 

 so pregnant with instructiveness, let him too, by 

 all means, "explore with curious search" the con- 

 troversial writings of the early periods of Puri- 

 tanism, on the sadly vexed question of the habits 

 of the clergy, to which he will find abundant re- 

 ference in ail our Anglican church histories.

Past eight o'clock! Ilerrnluith, do thou ponder: 



Eight souls in Noah's ark were living yonder. 



'Tis nine o'clock: ye brethren, hear it striking; 



Keep hearts and houses clean, to our Saviour's 

 liking. 



Now, brethren, hear, the clock is ten and passing : 



None rest but such as wait for Christ embracing. 



Eleven is past ! still at this hour of eleven, 



The Lord is calling us from earth to heaven. 



Ye, brethren, hear, the midnight clock is hum- 

 ming : 



At midnight our great Bridegroom will be coming. 



Past one o'clock! the day breaks out of darkness ; 



Great morning star appear, and break our hard- 

 ness ! 



'Tis two! on Jesus wait this silent season. 



Ye two so near related. Will and Reason. 



The clock is three ! the blessed Three doth merit 



The best ot praise, from body, soul, and spirit. 



'Tis four o'clock, when three make supplication 



The Lord will be the fourth on that occasion. 



Five is the clock ! five virgins were discarded, 



When five with weddinir garments were rewarded. 



The clock is six, and I go oflT my station ; 



Now, brethren, watch yowselves for your salvation.

Horology (Vol. iv., p. 175.) — H. C. K. inquires 

 for the best scientific work on horology. In 

 my seai'ches after the history of time keeping in 

 all ages, I found none more useful than a little 

 tract, the production of a watchmaker, and to be 

 had at 8L Fleet Street. The Mirror of 1824 

 contains some interesting notes on this subject.

The Aner-oid Ba>-ometer (Vol. iv., p. 295.). — 

 The intended signification of this name, " aneroid," 

 can of course be only determined by the person 

 who conferred it; u|)on any less direct authority 

 the derivation quoted from Mr. Dent's description 

 can scarcely be received. The meaning of vriphs
