state. There are entries of one branch of the 

 Waresley Baronet family of Hewett in the St. 

 Neot's Registers, but I can perceive no sign of 

 their having been tampered with. May I ask 

 C^DO Illud to refer me to his authority for the 

 statement that " the registers at Waresley and 

 St. Neot's had evidently been tampered with, and 

 finally attempted to be destroyed ? " And in what 

 year did William Hewett set up his claim ?

" Cambridge University Calendar" (2"* S. vi. 

 458.) — Since the first publication of the above 

 Calendar in the year 1796, it has been published 

 every year with one exception, viz. the year 1798. 



Three Mullets. 



William Daniel, Baron of Rathwyre (2"* S. v. 

 31. 97.) In Burke's Extinct Peerages of Great 

 Britain and Ireland, the only notice of this title 

 is as follows : — " The Barony of Rathurer was 

 conferred, in 1475, on a family of Daniel; but of 

 its descent, or extinction, we have not been able 

 to ascertain any particulars." The Thomas Daniel, 

 Knt., mentioned by Me. D' Alton as having been 

 Lord and Baron of Rathtcyre, and forfeited 10 

 Hen. VII., 1494-5, appears to be the person on' 

 whom the peerage was conferred in 1475 by K. 

 Edward IV. ; but what does S. W. allude to, 

 when he says that this individual was " mentioned 

 in the Norfolk peerage ? " A. S. A. 



Barrackpore. 



Epitaph (1" S. xi. 190.; 2"'' S. vi. 356). — la 

 not the following the correct version of the epitaph 

 Mr. John Scribe alludes to ? — 



" Beneath this stone old Abraham lies : 

 Nohody laughs, and nobody cries, 

 Where he is gone, and how he fares, 

 Nobody knows, and Nobody cares." 



The above is (or was some few years since) to 

 be seen in Islington churchyard on the monument 

 of Abraham Newland, the well-known principal 

 cashier of the Bank of England, who died in No- 

 vember, 1807, and was there buried. In his Me- 

 moirs, published in 1808, I find these lines were 

 his own composition. John Tuckett. 



In Morsels for Merry and Melancholy Mortals, 

 Ipswich, 1815, at p. 102., I find the following ver- 

 sion and commentary thereupon : — 

 "Epitaph XVI. 

 " ' Underneath poor Amy lies — 

 Nobody lauglis, nobody cries ; 

 Where she's gone, or how she fares, 

 Nobody knows, nobody cares.' 



"lam not informed where this epitaph is to be met 

 with ; it, however, strongly depicts the want of feeling in 

 human nature, and seems a close imitation of that on 

 Father Durand recorded by Camden : — 



" ' Hie est Ourandus positus sub marmore duro; 

 An git salvandus, igo ncscio, nee cyo euro.' " 



Zeus. 



Airish or Arish (2°'' S. vi. 328.)— A similar 

 term, which from the pronunciation I should have 

 written ersh or airsh, was used for stubbles in 

 Sussex when I knew them forty years ago. 



I. P. o. 



Charles Caraccioli (2"* S. vi. 337.) was master 

 of the Grammar School at Arundel. In 1766, he 

 published the Antiquities of that town ; and in his 

 Preface he says : 



"As he was educated, and till within these few years 

 has lived abroad, totally unconversant in the English 

 tongue, he flatters himself that the inaccuracies so fre- 

 quently interspersed through the whole will be observed 

 with some grains of allowance."

notes on books, etc. 



Messrs. Longman have just published a work which 

 will be read with satisfaction by such of our readers as 

 were interested in the valuable communications which 

 have from time to time appeared in these columns on the 

 subject of the Knights of Malta. It is entitled A His- 

 tory of the Knights of Malta, or the Order of the Hospital 

 of St. John of Jerusalem, by Major Whitworth Porter, 

 Royal Engineers. When we consider how important a 

 part the members of this Order have played in the world's 

 historj', and that there is really no satisfactory book to 

 which the English reader can turn for information on the 

 organisation and social history of the Knights, we cannot 

 doubt that this endeavour on the part of Major Porter to 

 supply, in a popular form, a history of the Order from its 

 first establishment in Palestine at the close of the eleventh 

 century to the present time, will meet with great success. 

 The book is well calculated to furnish the general reader 

 with all he desires to know with respect to the Knights 

 Hospitallers. Major Porter does not quote his authorities 

 — perhaps as the work is clearly intended for popular 

 reading, this was scarcely called for. It has, however, 

 led to an oversight, which Major Porter will, we are sure, 

 remedy in a future edition, — we mean, an acknowledg- 

 ment of his obligations to the masterly Introduction pre- 

 fixed by the late John M. Kemble to The Hospitallers in 

 England, published by The Camden Society — the last 

 paper, we believe, written by that accomplished scholar. 



Mrs. Kemp's Conversations on England as it Was and 

 Is, is a well-written volume, in which the Geography' of 

 England is made the medium of illustrating its History. 

 The idea is a very excellent one ; for there can be little 

 doubt that, by the powerful aid of association, historical 

 facts are more deeply impressed on the memory when 

 narrated with special reference to the particular places in 

 which they were enacted. The work is " designed for 

 schools and home tuition," and is well adapted for both 

 purposes. 



Messrs. Routledge, who have become the publishers in 

 this country of Prescott's Worlis, have just issued the 

 Third Volume of his History of Philip the Second, King of 

 Spain. A large proportion of the present volume is oc- 

 cupii>d with the narrative of the rebellion of the Moris- 

 coes, and their consequent expulsion from Spain, the 

 remainder being occupied with the war with the Turks ; 

 and the commencement of the Sixth Book, which is 

 devoted to domestic affairs. In this latter we have a 

 most interesting notice of the Escurial. The volume is 

 illustrated with portraits of Don .John of Austria, and of 

 Ann of Austria, Philip's fourth wife.
