1708, and 1715. The edition of 1642 is not noticed by 

 Dr. Cotton. It is scarce, but not rare. — G. Offop..] 



Editions of the Prayer Book prior to 1662 

 (1 st S. vii. 323.) — In addition to those named, I 

 have a copy not in that or any of the subsequent 

 lists of " N. & Q .," viz. " The Booke of Common 

 Prayer," concluding with twenty-two Godly 

 Prayers, imprinted by the Deputies of Christo- 

 pher Barker, 1588. It is a thin edition, small 

 quarto, bound up with a bible of 1589, and with 

 two Concordances. The preface to these have the 

 date of 1578, also printed by Barker, and "The 

 whole Booke of Psalmes by Thomas Sternhold, 

 John Hopkins, and others, with apt Notes to sing 

 them withall ; " printed for the Assignees of Richard 

 Day, 1588. 



As in the Prayer Book of 1578 named by Mr. 

 Latubury. (1 st S. viii. 319.), the word priest does 

 not once occur in a single rubric, but, in its place, 

 minister. May I ask if it is a rare edition? Anon. 



[Mr. Offor informs us that The Booke of Common 

 Prayer, 1588, with the Geneva Bible, is not rare, but that 

 a perfect copy is a valuable addition to an ecclesiastical 

 library. Mr. Stephens, in The Book of Common Prayer, 

 icith Notes Legal and Historical, vol. i. p. 407., states, 

 that " The Church of England, in the last Review of the 

 Liturgy (1662), inserted the word 'priest' instead of 

 ■ minister,' which was in Edward VI.'s Second Book, and 

 in « v >ueen Elizabeth's, in order that no one might pretend 

 to pronounce the Absolution but one in priest's orders."]

DRUMMONDS OF COLQUHALZIE. 



(2° a S. ix. 84.) 



R. S. F. is kindly thanked for the extract he 

 furnished in " N. & Q." from the Perthshire Cou- 

 rier of 27th October last, relative to the Drum- 

 monds of Colquhalzie, though it throws no light 

 on the main question of connexion with the Earl 

 Of Perth family. As It. S. F. has by his Note 

 manifested an interest in the Query by the cor- 

 respondent in " N. & Q." who inquired about the 

 Colquhalzie family, perhaps he will farther oblige 

 him with information, or put him in the way of 

 obtaining it, on the following point : — 



Which of the Drummonds, of the Perth, or Col- 

 •juhalzie, or other family, married, about 1720 or 

 1725, a daughter of old Lawrence Oliphant of 

 Gusk, from which union sprung a daughter, who 

 married John Macaulay of the Ardincaplc house, 

 who, at the early age of nineteen, fell by the side 

 of Colonel Gardiner at Preston in 1745 ? 



It may be interesting to a correspondent of 

 «*N. & Q." (Mr. J. Irving of Dumbarton) to 

 learn that the bereaved widow (then enceinte) 

 ied her dead husband's body off the field ; and 

 that the posthumous child was the late Mr. John 

 Macaulay of Leven Grove, Dumbarton, — repre- 

 sentative of Ardincaple and of the ancient house of 



Macaulay — a very handsome man, and father of a 

 long train of comely daughters. Many years ago, 

 in Edinburgh, Mrs. Smollett of Bonliill told the 

 writer of this Note emphatically that one of them 

 she named was the toast of the county. Burns, 

 in one of his letters to the father, confirms this or 

 as much. 



The Cardross family, from whom the late Lord 

 Macaulay was descended, was on the other hand 

 remarkably plain — the daughters being of sandy 

 complexion, " farnie tickled," and splay-footed, 

 and went by the sobriquet of the " Macaulay 

 Dumps," as low in stature, but at the same time 

 intellectual, and of blue-stocking celebrity. Their 

 father, the minister, was addicted to whist-play- 

 ing ; and sometimes so eager at it as to be hard 

 to draw from the table on Saturday nights in 

 time to prevent desecration of the Sabbath. 



The arms of the two families are identical, viz. 

 a dagger in a hand raised as if to strike (I speak 

 from recollection only), with the motto, " Dulce 

 periculura," — a fact which goes some way to esta- 

 blish a connexion more or less distant. 



The Macaulays were never more than a sept, 

 not clan, as assumed by Mr. Irving ; but I shall 

 look with much interest for the salient points in 

 their history which he has promised us in an early 

 number of " N. & Q." I. M. A.

SHAKSPEARE MUSIC. 

 (2 Qd S. viii. 285.) 



Some additional matter regarding music to 

 Shnkspeare's poetry may now be offered. The 

 serenade in the Two Gentlemen of Verona ("Who 

 is Sylvia?") has had music put to it by Sir II. 

 Bishop, but only in pasticcio fashion, the first 

 movement being from an air of his own, and the 

 second from one in Midas ; the whole arranged 

 as a glee. " Who is Sylvia ? " has been set as a 

 song by William Linley ( Dramatic Songs of 

 Shakspeare), and also by Richard Leveridge, 

 who, in 1727, published a collection of his own 

 compositions in two small volumes, and in the 

 first of these volumes (which has a frontispiece 

 by Hogarth) will be found this serenade. It 

 curiously illustrates the manner in which error 

 makes its way, that a music-publisher of our own 

 time has issued an arrangement of this very com- 

 position of Leveridge, and has altogether ignored 

 poor Richard, by assigning his melody to Dr. 

 Arne. It should be more generally known than 

 it is that R. Leveridge was the composer of 

 " Black-eyed Susan." 



" It was a Lover and his Lass " {As Yuu Like 

 It) will be found, excellently set, as a solo, in Mr. 

 Chappell's collection of old English music. It 

 has also been set by It. Stevens as a glee, by Sir 

 II. Bishop as a solo, and by W. Linley as a duett
