NOTES AND QUERIES.

likely to receive the cooperation and support of 

 the literary public, than where the continuance of 

 the Society is unlimited, or its full purport is not 

 previously marked out. 



The Works of John Taylor the Water Poet, al- 

 though in number pretty considerable, would 

 occupy but a few volumes ; and from their pecu- 

 liar style and tone, as well as their rarity, it is 

 surprising that they have not already been se- 

 lected for republication by some of the existing or 

 defunct Printing Clubs. I venture to suggest 

 that the selection of these as the first experiment 

 of the kind would be generally acceptable, and 

 the ready assistance of your readers who possess 

 any of Taylor's works by the loan of them, as well 

 as the interest they will take in procuring a 

 sufficient number of subscribers for the reprints, 

 seems to place the success of the attempt beyond 

 a doubt. 



First, let a complete list of Taylor's undoubted 

 productions be prepared and agreed upon, for 

 many works are assigned to him on slender 

 grounds ; and if two or three of your eminent 

 literati will take the matter up, aided by your 

 assistance, the project would be carried out at a 

 trifling expense if 100 subscribers could be ob- 

 tained. The anonymous works which are attri- 

 buted to the pen of Taylor without any sufficient 

 authority might, if so agreed, be added as a sup- 

 plemental volume. 



Some few years ago, a Paper of Notes re- 

 specting Taylor, from the pen of a well-known 

 and much respected author (Mr. J. 0. Halliwell), 

 was read by him before some meeting in Glouces- 

 tershire (of which county Taylor was a native), 

 but I am not aware that these Notes have ap- 

 peared in print. If, then, assistance can be ob- 

 tained from this quarter, it will be invaluable for 

 the projected purpose. 11.

I furnish the above from the copious Indexes to 

 the High German Doctor, 1719, where will be 

 found most of the nicknames and slang phrases 

 of and relating to the Jacobites of the period. My 

 authority does not, however, supply Peter Brick-

Rev. Edward Wm. Barnard (2 nd S. it. 281. ; 

 ix. 12. 94.) — I beg leave to say that I met the 

 Rev. E. W. Barnard at the chambers of a mutual 

 friend in London, at the end of 1817. They had 

 been at Harrow School together previous to the 

 great rebellion there of 1805 — 1806, and had 

 gone, after they had left Harrow, to the sister

Universities, Mr. Barnard having graduated at 

 Cambridge, where, however, owing to his great 

 distaste for mathematics 1 , he did not attain any 

 honours. In 1817, Mr. Barnard did publish, 

 anonymously, a small book of poems, " not a col- 

 lection of translations from Meleager," but, as he 

 calls them in his title-page, which I have before 

 me : ■ — 



" Poems, founded upon the Poems of Meleager.

London : Printed for J. Carpenter and Son, 14. Old Bond 

 Street, By J. M c Creery, Black Horse Court, 1817. 8vo. 



38 pages." 



I met him afterwards, in 1818, at my friend's 

 chambers, and also at Mr. Barnard's own lodgings; 

 and I know that he published a second edition of 

 his Poems, and that he dedicated it to Moore, the 

 poet. My avocations calling me out of town in 

 that year, we never met again ; but I since learnt 

 that he was presented to a living in Yorkshire, 

 and that he then married a daughter of Arch- 

 deacon Wrangham, the editor of Langhorne's 

 Plutarch's Lives. Mr. Barnard himself was the 

 gentlest, most, modest, and most loveable creature 

 imaginable, with a slight tinge of melancholy by 

 constitution ; but I have heard that he made a 

 most exemplary parish priest, and that he was 

 lost to the world by death some twelve or fifteen 

 years ago. 



I have no doubt your correspondent, Senex, 

 is right — that Cave Castle, Yorkshire, was the 

 place of his living : for I perceive, in Lewis's 

 Topographical Dictionary, it is said to belong to a 

 gentleman of the same name, and that he has the 

 patronage of the church there. 



I have running in my mind that the Rev. Ed- 

 ward Barnard was in some way connected with 

 the authorship of another book, The Protestant 

 Beadsman : and I feel confirmed in this by the 

 following brief notice in Lowndes's Bibliographical 

 Manual : — 



" Barnard. ' Protestant Beadsman,' 1822. Onlv 

 twelve Copies printed. Sir M. M. Sykes, 330. But I 

 think it was afterwards published in a popular form.", 



I can give Senex no clue to his means of pro- 

 curing a copy of the Poems from Meleager, as 

 they are no doubt long out of print; and I value 

 my copy too much to part with it. No doubt, 

 however, a copy of it may be seen at the British 

 Museum. Senescens. 



Chevalier Gallini (2 uJ S. ix. 147. 251.)— This 

 successful maitre de danse built the Hanover Square 

 Booms, and bequeathed a liberal fortune to his two 

 daughters, who built and endowed the handsome 

 Roman Catholic chapel in Grove Road, St. John's 

 Wood, called " Our Lady's Chapel," together with 

 two wings : one a residence for themselves, and 

 the other for the priest, the Very Rev. Canon 

 O'Neil. The remains of the two ladies lie in the 

 vaults beneath the chapel. S. II. H.
