Hagelin, who, at my instance, consulted first the library at Upsala, and finally ran it to earth in the Royal Library at Stockholm; and here it appears in a different version from any of the preceding Lundblad, 'Svensk Plutark II.,' Stockholm, 1826, p. 95, "An nescis, mi fili, quantillâ prudentiâ regitur orbis." : in any of our numerous quotations for the word. Can any one say what was the nature of the vehicle called a chaise-marine, which is often mentioned during last century, and appears (1823) in 4 Geo.

(To anticipate ingenious suggestions, it is perhaps desirable to say that it was not a bathingcoach.) Reply direct, please. J. A. H. MURRAY. Oxford. Wise was the remark of Dr. Routh, the late venerable President of Magdalen, that he spent the last of his declining years "in verifying quota- and Fable,' are pennies paid at the cathedral of CHAD PENNIES, according to Brewer, 'Dict.

I should be glad to receive self in exactly these words? CHALLIS.-Can any one give me information as to the name and origin of this fabric of silk and worsted? If Mr. Beck is right in the 'Drapers' Dictionary, that it was first introduced at Norwich about 1832, one suspects that the name is the common English surname Challis. Some improvement seems to have been made on it in France in 1838, and I believe the name commonly passes as French, and is pronounced shally. So, at least, says Webster and English dictionaries which copy him. But Littré (who gives it in his supplement only as challis, chaly, chalys) knew no French origin for the word, and in French it looks rather like the English word adapted. Where Webster (and his English copiers aforesaid) found that there is a French word chaly, meaning fabric of goats' hair," I cannot discover. Can any one help me? We also want quotations before Can Norwich correspondents help? 1849. Oxford. J. A. H. MURRAY. a CHAISE-LONGUE: CHAISE-MARINE.-In a modern dictionary I find the first of these entered as chaiselounge (as a kind of "lounge"). I should be glad to know whether this is a current vulgar corruption, or merely a slip of the writer. It does not appear authentication or illustration of this statement, for which no authority is given. Also of the origin of chad farthings, referred to by Halliwell (for which we have one authentic quotation). J. A. H. MURRAY. Oxford. EGOTISM.-Littré, s. v. "Egotisme," says that the origin of the intrusive t is a question for English scholars. It would appear, however, that the word is really of French origin, for Addison, in Spectator, No. 562 (1714), says, "The Gentlemen of Port Royal......branded this form of writing [in the first person] with the name of an Egotism; a figure not to be found among the ancient rhetoricians." I should be glad to learn where the passage referred to is to be found; it does not appear to occur in any of the Port Royal treatises known to me. The inserted t is presumably due to the analogy of some rhetorical or grammatical term, possibly idiotisme; but perhaps the context of the passage in which the word first appears would settle the question as to its formation. HENRY BRADLEY, 11, Bleisho Road, Lavender Hill, S.W. MACREADY. throw light on the following difficulty? In the Can any of your contributors first line of his 'Reminiscences,' Macready states that he was born in "Mary Street, Tottenham Court Road, 3rd March, 1793." Now, I can find no evidence that there ever was such a street. It is not shown in either the 1787 or the 1797 edition of Cary's New and Accurate Plan of London and Westminster,' which gives this district in great detail, nor in Horwood's 'Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster' (1799), which professes to show not only every street but every house Some biographical notices give "Charles Street, Fitzroy Square," as Macready's birthplace. There is, as every one knows, a Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, but the nearest Charles Street is the continuation of Goodge Street, which scarcely comes within the Fitzroy Square region. Macready's parents seem to have been domiciled in the parish of St. Pancras, for his sister, Letitia Margaret, was baptized at the parish church LETTING THE LIGHTNING out. In this part of Yorkshire it is considered prudent during a thunderstorm to leave the house door open, in order to enable the lightning to get out if it should come in. Is this superstition general?

Of Bishop Lloyd, 1827-1829, though the tutor of Keble, Pusey, Newman, and others of that band, there seems to be no account extant. He is casually mentioned in the 'Reminiscences of Oriel' and the 'Diocesan History,' but that is all. As he seems to have moulded the minds of those who started the Oxford movement, is it not singular that no memoir of him should exist? E. L. H. TEW, Hornsea Vicarage, East Yorkshire.

SERVANTS TO KINGS AND QUEENS: STAPLEFORD FOUKE.-In St. Paul's Walden Church, Herts, is a small monument with two kneeling figures between pilasters and under a pediment; and the following inscription appears beneath the figures : "Nigh to this place ly interred ye bodies of Henry Stapleford Gent., and Dorothy his wife. The said Henry was servant to Queene Elizabeth King James and King Charles vntill ye time of his death, and departed this life ye xxxth of May Ano. Dni. 1631 and aged 76 yeares," &c. The arms on the shield under the pediment are given by Cussans as "Gyronny of twelve argent and sable." In the register of burials for "1631, 31 Mai," is the entry of "Henry Stapleforde Yeoman Bá Guarde to Queene Elizabeth King James B.R. [sic]." Can any reader of 'N. & Q.' help me to any contemporary mention of Henry Stapleford? In Flamstead Church, Herts, about eight miles in a straight line from St. Paul's Walden, is a monument generally similar to that in memory of Henry Stapleford and his wife. Below a small effigy of a knight in armour kneeling at a desk is the following inscription :— "Here lyeth the body of Sr Bartholomew Fovke, Knt, whoe served Kinge Edward, Queene Marye, and was Mr of the Household to Queene Elizabeth for many yeares, and to King James that now is; in memorye of whose vertuous lyfe (worthy eternall remembrance), Edward Fovke, gent, his brother, hath erected this monument.

There are members of tioned in a former communication, and, curiously a family of Lemon buried at Hendon, as I menenough, the earliest of these is "Mr. Martin Lemon," who died January 21, 1818, aged thirtytwo, and in the same grave is interred "Mr. George Mark Lemon," who died November 29, 1831, aged thirty-seven. The adjoining grave contains the remains of "Mr. Mark Lemon," who died December 12, 1820, aged sixty-three, and "Mrs. Grace Lemon, wife of the above," who died October 5, 1823, aged 63. What relation were these persons to the great Mark Lemon? Is Martin Lemon, who is buried at Hendon, his father? As I am publishing a history of Hendon, it is important to me to obtain these facts as early as possible. Perhaps H. G. K. would kindly consult the member of the family with whom he is acquainted, and perhaps MR. WALFORD Would furnish the authority for his statement as to the change of name, as the question is of general literary interest. E. T. EVANS. 63, Fellows Road, N.W. Mark Lemon was a man of note in his day, and no one who ever met him can forget his handsome, jovial face, and his portly, or even redundant, presence. Therefore, when his very name is called in question-when one correspondent says that "Mark Lemon's father was called Martin Lemon," and that "there was never any change in the family name," whilst another, in the very same column of N. & Q,' affirms it as no secret that "his original name was Lemon Marks"-it seems time to ask for an authoritative statement on the subject, especially as 'N. & Q' is a work of reference, and Mr. Leslie Stephen is "within measurable distance" of the letter L. TÊTE-A-TÊTE PORTRAITS OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY MAGAZINE' (7th S. v. 488).--Having the fear of the tax-gatherers and rate-collectors before my eyes, and being bound to provide the proletariat with free roads, free bridges, free schools, free parks, free libraries, free hospitals for the sane and insane, free breakfast tables, and, probably, free dinners and teas, with ultimately free burial, OSBORNE will excuse me when I say that, having identified nearly all these likenesses, and, with every wish to oblige a fellow student, I cannot spare time to do more than tell him that in the Catalogue of Satirical Prints in the British Museum' he will find the names of many of the portraits he inquires about. As to those dated after 1770, where this 'Catalogue' stops, I can probably, if OsBORNE tells me which portrait of the series he desires to identify, give him its name. Thus, the tête-à-tête portraits facing p. 13, vol. i., of the magazine, are distinguished as 66 L-W-" and "Dof G-" for Lady Waldegrave (Walpole's beautiful friend and Reynolds's sitter), and the Duke of Gloucester. "The Female Pilot" and "A Prime Minister," facing p. 13 of the same volume, stand for Nancy Parsons (afterwards Viscountess Maynard, painted by Gainsborough) and her keeper, the Duke of Grafton. The former is Satirical Print No. 4346, the latter is No. 4348 of the same series. F. G. S. This magazine commenced in 1769. There were thirty-two volumes.

ROWLANDSON (7th S. v. 487).—If this matter is sifted, it will probably be found that the publishers who issued Mr. Grego's book on Rowlandson are the sinners, as the original print of the 'Staircase' is sans drawers, which, by the way, appear to have been unknown until some time in the second decade of the present century; and inasmuch as the inventor-probably a lady-would hardly have courted publicity, it is extremely difficult to fix the exact date of their introduction. ANDREW W. TUER. The Leadenhall Press, E.C. "Those things with a frill round the ankle" dress in the exceptionally severe winter of 1800-1. seem to have been adopted as a part of ladies' During the preceding summer there had been an outcry against the indecent transparency of their and (according to a caricature of Gillray's, pubdraperies, which allowed the form of the limbs, lished June 25, 1799) even the garters to appear. On Jan. 5, 1800, however, another caricature was issued, entitled 'Boreas effecting what Health and Modesty could not do,' in which the ladies are represented with drawers and petticoats under their robes. See Wright's 'Caricature Hist. of the Georges,' pp. 541-2. I remember that so recently as thirty or forty years ago respectable farmers' wives would not allow their maidservants to wear drawers, because they were "fine-ladyish." C. C. B. do not know. The passage may be worth noting. It occurs in the poem called his 'Satisfactio,' addressed from prison to Guthamundus or Gundamond, King of the Vandals, and is as follows: Tempore, luna suo crescit uel deficit orbe, Obseruant lunæ tecta cerebra globos. With the lapse of time the moon in her orb waxes or wanes, And with her changing age many things men note recurring as by a law. For, as the moon waxes, so again the sea takes increase, JOHN W. BONE. 'SPRIG OF SHILLELAH' OR 'DONNYBROOK FAIR' (7th S. v. 446).-Regarding this wellknown song, for which there seem conflicting claims of authorship, your correspondents may care to know, on better authority than " tradition," that Sir Jonah Barrington ('Personal Sketches,' vol. ii. p. 231) states that Lysaght wrote it, and Samuel Lover, in Lyrics of Ireland' (p. 139), awards it the same paternity, as do T. C. Croker, M. J. Barry, and Alfred Webb. Mr. Halliday Sparling, in his 'Irish Minstrelsy,' probably gave it to Lysaght on the authority of Lover, and Lover was doubtless led by the testimony of Barrington. The "fact" now announced, that this song is Code's, because it has been found in his play of "The Burning of Moscow,' may not be, after all, conclusive of Mr. Sillard's contention. It might as well be said that Curran's song 'The Monks of the Screw,' which appears at full length in 'Jack Hinton,' was written by Lever. "Dead men tell no tales," neither do they make complaints. Lysaght died in 1809; and Code's Burning of Moscow,' in the first act of which The Sprig of Shillelagh' is introduced, did not appear until 1813. to Lysaght (vol. iii. p. 320) "Green were the fields where our forefathers dwelt, O," whereas the real author was George Nugent Reynolds. These few points may be acceptable when a judicial critic comes to sift the evidence. W. J. FITZPATRICK, F.S.A. Garrick Club.
