NOTES AND QUERIES.

abled to trace the names in the shops in the distance, and 

 easilj' read the play-bills in the foreground, and this in a 

 picture only a few inches square, while the minuteness in 

 architectural subjects is most remarkable. In a view of 

 Paris there is all that can be desired in half-tones, and the 

 perspective is almost as good as in a photograph. 



Before concluding these Notes, we would call attention 

 to two new books for the use of Photographers. The first 

 is a little volume by Mr. Otte, Landscape Photography, in 

 which the author's object is " to enable an amateur at 

 once to commence the practice of the art." Although 

 explaining many processes, Mr. Otte wisely, as we think, 

 prefers the Calotype for general purposes. The second is 

 a work of far higher character and importance. It is A 

 Dictionary of Photography, by Thomas Sutton, B. A., 

 Editor of Photographic Notes. The Chemical Articles of 

 A, B, C, hy John Worden, Illustrated with Diagrams. 

 The work is not so much a book to be substituted for any 

 particular Handbook as a supplement to it. The author's 

 object has been to place in the hand of the practical pho- 

 tographer a useful book, which will assist him in his en- 

 deavour to comprehend the optical and chemical principles 

 "of his art, and save him the trouble of referring to the 

 numerous bulky and costly works which the author him- 

 self has been obliged to consult. This object has been 

 kept steadily in view, and there is consequeutly little 

 doubt that The Dictionary of Photography will soon be 

 found indispensable in the glass-room of every student of 

 the art.

Wake Family (•2'"' S. vi. 2-32.) — It may not 

 be out of place if I were to enumerate the names 

 of the family within my reach, and I now do so 

 from Blomefield's Norfolk, through the medium 

 of my MS. Index Nominum, viz. : — 



Vol. i. p. 27,8. The Rev. Mr. Wake is mentioned, and 

 his son Mr. William Wake in the Drury pedigree. 



Same vol. p. 308. The arms of Wake, " or, two bars 

 gul. in chief 3 torteaux." 



Same vol. p. 341. Thomas Lord Wake, and Margaret 

 liis sister. 



Vol. ii. p. 278. Sir Baldwin Wake, and also Thomas 

 Lord Wake, and Blanch his wife. Also in a note at the 

 foot of this last-named page, Thomas Lord Wake is said 

 to have died in 1348. He is described as of Lydell. A 

 reference to a large account of the Wakes is mentioned in 

 the same note (from Dugdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. 541.). 



Vol. ii. p. 279. Thomas Lord Wake and Margaret his 

 wife are here again named. 



Vol. ill. p. 126. John Wake is named as sheriff of Nor- 

 wich, 1411. 



A'ol. iv. p. 44. Mrs. Hannah Wake, buried in Norwich 

 cathedral. Died March 8th, 1742, tct. 84. 



Vol. V. p. 477. Baldwin Wake is here again named. 



Vol. vi. p. 443. Thomas Wake, named as vicar of Bux- 

 ton in Xorlblk, 1508, which he resigned in 1513. 



Vol. vii. p. 62. William Wake, as also Richard Wake 

 aad Catherine his wife, are named. 



Vol. viii. p. 351. Alan Wake was rector of Babingley, 

 CO. Norfolk, in 13GI. In the Hovell Pedigree attached to 

 this vol., William Wake, U.D-, Archbislio]) of Canterbury 

 appear^, the husband of Ktheldreda Hovell. 



Vol. ix. p. 227. Thomas Wake is here named. 



Vol. X. p. 39C. Agnes, wife of John Wake also named. 



Vol. xi. p. 85. Thomas Wake, vicar of Witton, co. Nor- 

 folk, 1520. 



Same vol. p. 148. William Wake, rector of Asliby in 



Norfolk, on the presentation of the Archbishop of Canter- 

 bury (probably his father). 



These are the extracts of the Wake family to 

 which I can refer; but on reference to Dugdale, 

 and also a History of ike Wake Family, doubtless 

 your correspondent can probably learn what he 

 desires. A copy of the History of the Wake 

 Family VTAS some time since with Mr. J.R. Smith of 

 Soho Square, but I believe he has sold it. 



John Nurse Chadwick. 



King's Lynn. 



The inquiry respecting this family reminds me 

 of the curious coincidence of the name being 

 blended with that of a celebrated Saxon chieftain, 

 Hereicard de Briin, very probably connected with 

 the Wakes, in the person of Heriuald Wake, ma- 

 gistrate of Arrah during the sepoy insurrection in 

 India in 1857, and whose gallant defence of that 

 place against the whole force of Kooer Singh 

 elicited the warm approbation of government. 

 Mr. Wake is, I am told, a native of Northampton; 

 perhaps some correspondent from that place may 

 be able to tell me something more about this gen- 

 tleman, his farady, &c., and thereby throw some 

 light upon the history of the now, I believe, very 

 nearly extinct family of the Wakes of Lincolnshire.

Earliest Stone Church in Ireland (2"* S. vi. 

 233.) — Although unable to supply a positive 

 answer to this inquiry, lean give Abhba some in- 

 formation respecting our earliest stone churches 

 in this country, collected chiefly from Dr. Reeves' 

 valuable work on the Ecclesiastical Aniicjuities of 

 Doivn, Connor, and Dromo7-e, which will doubtless 

 be interesting to him. 



The Four Masters (a.d. 935) style the church 

 then existing at Kilclief (diocese and county of 

 Down) a duleek, which term signifies " a stone 

 church." Their words are — 



" Vastatio Cillcletensis per filium Barithi, et combustio 

 ecclesics lapidece, et captivi plurimi rapti inde." 



In a poem written previously to the ninth cen- 

 tury mention is made of the "great church at 

 Dunlethglass " (now Downpatrick). Of what ma- 

 terial this structure was at that. early period is 

 uncertain ; but that a church of stone existed here 

 before 1015 is evident from the Annals of the Four 

 Masters, who have the following entry at that 

 year : — 



"Dunum combustum totum cum sua Eccleha lapided, et 

 cum suo campanile, fulmiue." — Rer. Hih. S.S. vol. iii. 

 p. 559. 



The campanile here spoken of was the Round 

 Tower, a portion of which, about sl.xty -feet high, 

 stood at the distance of forty feet from the church 

 till about half a century ago, when it was totally 

 overthrown. 



The Four Masters, a.d. 1065, relate the mur- 

 der of O'Mahony in the church of Bangor, co.
