NOTES AND QUERIES.

Query as to how Dr. Barnard was related to 
Archbishop Abbot, I beg to say that I have ex- 
amined the elaborate pedigrees in my possession, 
and also the archbishop’s will, but do not find he 
was any relation whatever. The archbishop’s 
brother, Sir Maurice, married Margaret, daughter 
of Barthol. Barnes, of London, merchant, and I 
think an error must have arisen through Barnard 
being confused with Barnes. 
The archbishop’s chaplain, Mr. Edward Abbot, 
was his cousin; he was precentor of Wells and 
vicar of Ealing, afterwards of All Hallows, Bark- 
ing, where he died. The archbishop devises lega- 
cies to his two chaplains, but only mentions Mr. 
Edward Abbot by name, to whom he gives a ring 
of forty shillings. I therefore think the statement 
that Dr. Barnard was one of the archbishop’s 
nearest relations, must be an error, although I have 
no doubt but that he was one of his chaplains. 
I shall be glad to correspond with Mz. Srein- 
MAN on the subject if he wishes to know more of 
the archbishop’s family. Joun T. Asporv.

“ Give place, ye ladies all” (1* 8. xi. 384.) —I 
fancy these lines, inquired for by Mormon, are a 
modernisation of — 
“ Give place, you ladies, and be gone, 
Boast not yourselves at all ! 
For here at hand approacheth one 
Whose face will stain you all.” 
They are preserved in MS. Harl. 1703, and 
have been printed in Park’s edition of Walpole’s 
Royal and Noble Authors; Ellis’s Specimens of 
the Early English Poets; Evans's Old Ballads, 
edit. of 1810, &c. The author was old John Hey- 
wood, the court wit and epigrammatist ; and the 
subject of the poem, the Princess Mary, after- 
wards Queen Mary. Epwarp F. Rimeavtr. 
The Rev. Mr. Mattinson (2° S. i. 92.) — Your 
correspondent Anusa would probably be glad to 
hear a fuller account of this clergyman, which I 
extract from what I believe is a rare book, viz. 
A Survey of the Lakes of Cumberland, Westmore- 
land, and Lancashire, &c. By James Clarke. The 
2nd edition, 1789; it is as follows: 
“The church [of Patterdale] isa perpetual curacy, and 
was worth about 13/. per annum till the year 1743, when 
the interest of 200/. was allotted to it by the governors of 
Queen Anne’s bounty; with this addition it is now worth 
about 247. per annum. Mr. Mattinson, the late incum- 
bent, died about the year 1770. It appears that he 
buried and married both his father and mother Cel, bap- 
tized his own wife when an infant one month old, and 
when she became marriageable, published the banns him- 
self. He and his wife carded and spun that part of the 
tithe wool which fell to his lot, viz. one third; and of so 
saving and penurious a disposition was he, that he died 
worth more money than his whole income would have 
Fro00! him had it been laid out at compound interest. 
10001] A school which he taught added about 6/. to 
his income; but even this will hardly account for the 
sums he left at his death, which happened in the ninety- 
sixth year of his age, after having served this curacy 
fifty-six years. His wife was equally eminent as a mid- 
wife, performing her operations for the small sum of one 
shilling: but as, according to ancient custom, she was 
likewise cook at the christening dinner, she received some 
culinary perquisites that somewhat increased her profits. 
On these occasions, none more devoutly prayed for the 
speedy recovery of the good wife; a quick return of these 
comforts, &c. On the day of her marriage, Mrs. Mattin- 
son’s father boasted that his two daughters were married 
to the two best men in Patterdale, the priest and the 
bagpiper. At the priest’s death his widow and children 
spent all he had amassed, and she was obliged to seek 
support in the College of Matrons at Wigton.”—Pp. 31. 32. 
By the bye, can any one tell me when the first 
edition of this work was published ?

[ The date on the original title-page is 1787; but some 
copies have a reprinted title-page with the date 1789, 
purporting to be a second edition, but containing no other 
alteration. ]

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 
We know no writer of the present day who can illus- 
trate a subject with more quaint learning and pleasant 
fancy than Dr. Doran. Indulge his taste for a title which 
shall smack of the conceit of Old Fuller, and then let him 
ransack his brain, which is not as “dry as the remainder 
bisket after a voyage ;” and what with pleasant illustrative 
anecdote, striking historical reminiscences, and a plenteous 
sprinkling of snatches of old song, he will produce you a 
volume unequalled for fireside reading, or railway pastime, 
and which shall have the additional merit of being in- 
structive as well as amusing. His Knights and their 
Days will, we answer for it, bear out this description ; and 
such of our readers as may be tempted by this account of 
it to turn over its gossiping pages, will, we think, agree 
with us in pronouncing it a capital mixture of old-world 
histories and modern fancy. 
Our readers may remember that a discussion was com- 
menced some few months since in these columns on the 
authorship of the Waverley Novels. We brought that 
discussion to a close, perhaps somewhat abruptly. Mr. 
Fitzpatrick, who started the game, has therefore hunted 
it down in a separate pamphlet, entitled Who wrote the 
Waverley Novels? Being an Investigation into certain 
mysterious Circumstances attending their Production, and an 
Inquiry into the literary Aid which Sir Walter Scott may 
have received from other Persons. Myr. Fitzpatrick has 
collected his materials with great industry, and arranged 
them with great ingenuity; but as, in spite of all his 
obligations to preceding playwrights and chroniclers, we 
hold Shakspeare to have written the plays which all 
the world recognize as Shakspeare’s, so, after reading all 
the evidence which Mr. Fitzpatrick has produced, we 
feel that there is but one answer to his inquiry, “ Who 
wrote the Waverley Novels?” and that answer is, “Sir 
Walter Scott.” 
The North British Review for May is before us. Among 
other capital articles in it, we may mention the opening 
one on Plays and Puritans, that on the Life and Writings 
of Justice Talfourd, and one on Macaulay, in which, -
