NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[28 §, No 16, Aprit 19, °56. 
That a particular day was to be dedicated to 
the Dominus (solus), who was to sanctify it by 
His resurrection, had been predicted in the 118th 
Psalm; but Iam not aware that the title Do- 
minicus was given to the first day of the week 
“before the Christian era,” even by the Jews who 
were in possession of David’s prediction, much 
less by the Gentiles, as applied to their dies solis.

Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (2"4 §. i. 250.) — In 
reply to Curaserr Bepe’s inquiry, permit me to 
state that I remember being informed, on good 
authority, that Lord Clinton, of North Devon, is 
descended from the Cotton family, but in what 
line I am unable to say. M. J. 
Charles Povey (2°. S. i. 266.) — The publica- 
tion of this writer, concerning which he says: 
“Upon the demise of Q. Anne, I drew up 65 
articles of that reign,” is in the Library of Trinity 
College, Dublin, as also in the Bodleian Library, 
Oxford, being contained in the catalogue of the 
latter as an anonymous work under the head of 
Q. Anne.* The title is as follows: . 
“An Inquiry into the Miscarriages of the Four Last 
Years Reign, wherein it appears by Sixty Five Articles, 
That a Scheme was laid to raise the Grandeur of France 
and Spain, break the Confederacy, make a separate Peace, 
destroy the Establish’d Church, sink the Trade of the 
Nation, betray the Queen, and bring in the Pretender. 
As also a Design to reform the Army, by putting in Irish 
Officers to command it, and for making private Leagues, 
in order to hasten and support the intended Restauration. 
With otber Particulars relating to the Forwardness of a 
Rebellion in Scotland, the great Encrease of Popery in 
Treland, the Occasion of the Queen’s Death, and the Dis- 
covery of an Immense Sum of Money taken out of the 
Treasury, and not accounted for, Presented to the Free- 
holders of Great Britain, against the next Election of a 
New Parliament. London, 1714.” 
In the first page he says : 
“TJ have writ Five large Quarto and Octavyo Volumes, 
with many other Treatises, to recommend Vertue, Loyalty, 
Wit, Honour, Truth, and Moderation; and to extinguish 
Vice, Rebellion, Bribery, Pride and Ambition.”

Dublin. 
Mrs. Fitzherbert (2™' 8. i. 153. 220. 239.) — 
In addition to the pamphlets mentioned by your 
correspondents, pp. 220, 239., the following may 
be useful to G. H.: 
“An Admonitory Letter to H.R.H. the Prince of 
Wales, on the subject of the late delicate Inquiry; con- 
taining Anecdotes never before published, which may 
probably lead to the Detection of the real Authors of the 
late scandalous Attempt to sully the Purity of an Illus- 
ee Tipper & Richards, Leadenhall Street, 
British Museum, entered under ANNE, in the Catalogue 
of King’s Pamphlets. ] 
his plain duties to himself, his wife, his child, and to the 
country, with a design for a statue to be erected to his 
honour, upon a pedestal of alabaster, with appropriate in- 
scriptions by the Dukes of York and Norfolk, Mr. Jefferys, 
a Countess, &c. &c., with a promise to the flexible Lord 
Moira. London: James Piper, No. 8. Hanway Yard, 
Oxford Street, 1807.” 
From the title of the above there appears to have 
been a second plain letter, but it is not in my 
possession. Besides the Review of the Conduct of 
H, R. H.,” §c., by Mr. Jeffreys, there is, — 
“A Letter to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, by Na- 
thaniel Jefferys. Dedicated (without permission) to Mrs. 
Fitzherbert.” 
Also: 
“An Antidote to Poison: or, a full Reply to Mr. Jef- 
ferys’ Attack upon the Character and Conduct of H. R. H. 
the Prince of Wales: containing several important par- 
ticulars derived from authentic sources of information. 
By Claudio. Dedicated to Abraham Goldsmid, Esq. 
London: Mathews & Leigh, 18. Strand. 1806.” 
Further allusion to the subject is made in The 
Jockey Club, a series of sketches contained in 
these pamphlets ; and in an Answer to the same, 
by a member of the club, of which I have not the 
dates. Joun Wm. ATKINSON.

Hannah Lightfoot (2°4 S. i. 121.) — There is 
a fine portrait of this lady, by Sir Joshua Rey- 
nolds, at Knolle Park, Kent, which was doubtless 
painted by order of George III. In the catalogue 
she is erroneously called Mrs. Axford. In 
Burke's Dictionary of the Landed Gentry, supple- 
mentary volume, f. 269., is the pedigree of 
“‘ Prytherch of Abergole,” by which it appears that 
the gentleman who is said to have married her 
grand-daughter has had by her no less than four- 
teen children, 
Mrs. Philipps informs me, by letter dated . 
27th February last, that her late father, Henry 
Wheeler, Esq., of Surrey Square, “was the last 
of the family who saw her, on her going to Keith 
Chapel to be married to a person of the name of 
Axford, a person the family knew nothing of; he 
never saw her or heard of her after the marriage 
took place ; every inquiry was made, but no satis- 
factory information was ever obtained respecting 
her.” G. STEINMAN STEINMAN. 
Fig-pie Wake (2"4 §. i. 227.) —I have a lively 
remembrance — didici puerilibus annis — of fig- 
pie wake, which is kept, not at Draycott only, but 
in the neighbouring villages. There is (1 have 
heard) a custom at Gloucester somewhat of this 
kind. Children who are out at service, or otherwise 
away from home, visit their parents on Mid-Lent 
Sunday, taking with them a saffron cake as a 
present. Some of your readers probably can give 
further information on this custom.” Ape
