March)_ (Vol. viii., p. 104.).--On reference to the volume and page
of Miss Strickland's _Lives of the Queens of England_, cited by your
correspondent G., I find that not only does this lady, by her sweeping
assertion, bastardise the second E. of Northumberland, but, in her
zeal to outsay all that "ancient heralds" ever can have said, she
annihilates, or at least reduces to a myth, the mother of Thomas, eighth
Lord Clifford. This infelicitous statement may have been corrected in
the second edition of the _Lives_, for in "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 42.,
there is a detailed pedigree tracing the descent of Jane Seymour through
Margaret Wentworth, her mother, by an intermarriage with a Wentworth,
and a _granddaughter_ of Hotspur, Lord Percy, (not _daughter_, as Miss
Strickland writes) from the blood-royal of England. My object, however,
in writing this is not farther to point attention to Miss Strickland's
mistake, but to invite discussion to the point where this pedigree may
be possibly faulty. I will not say "all ancient heralds," but some
heralds, at least, of acknowledged reputation, viz. Nicolas, Collins,
and Dugdale[6], have stated that the wife of Sir Philip Wentworth was
a daughter of Roger fifth Lord Clifford. If this be so, in truth there
is an end at once of the Seymour's claim to royal lineage; for it is an
undoubted fact that it was the grandson of Roger fifth Lord, namely,
John, seventh Lord Clifford, K.G., who married Hotspur's only daughter.

"_Up, guards, and at them!_" (Vol. v., p. 426.; Vol. viii., p.
111.).--Some years ago, about the time that the Wellington statue on the
arch at Hyde Park Corner was erected, I was dining at a table where Wyatt
the artist was present. The conversation turned much upon the statue, and
the exact period at which the great Duke is represented. Wyatt said that
he was represented at that moment when he is supposed to have used the
words: "Up, guards, and at them!" It having been questioned whether he
ever uttered the words, I asked the artist whether, when he was taking
the Duke's portrait, the Duke himself acknowledged using them? To which
he replied, that the Duke said that he did not recollect having uttered
those words and, in fact, that he could not say what expression he did
use on that occasion. The company at dinner seemed much satisfied with
Wyatt's authority on this point.
J. D. GARDNER.
_Pennycomequick_ (Vol. viii., p. 113.).--A similar story to that related
by your correspondent MR. HELE is told of Falmouth. Previously to its
being incorporated as a town by Charles II., it was called _Smithick_,
from a smith's shop, near a _creek_, which extended up the valley. The
old Cornish word _ick_ signifies a "creek;" and as it became a village it
was called "Pennycomequick," which your correspondent H. C. K. clearly
explains. The Welsh and Cornish languages are in close affinity. The
name "Pennycomequick" is evidently a corrupted old Cornish name: see
Pryce's _Archæologia Cornu-Britannica_, v. "Pen," "Coomb," and "Ick,"
the head of the narrow valley, defile or creek. It has been thought by
some to mean "the head of the cuckoo's valley;" and your correspondent's
Welsh derivation seems to countenance such a translation. The cuckoo is
known in Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall as "the _Gawk_ Gwich." MR. HELE,
perhaps, will be amused at the traditional story of the Falmouthians
respecting the origin of Pennycomequick. Before the year 1600, there
were few houses on the site of the present town: a woman, who had been a
servant with an ancestor of the late honourable member for West Cornwall,
Mr. Pindarves, came to reside there, and that gentleman directed her to
brew some good ale, as he should occasionally visit the place with his
friends. On one of his visits he was disappointed, and expressed himself
angry at not finding any ale. It appeared on explanation that a Dutch
vessel came into the harbour the preceding day, and the Dutchmen drained
her supply; she said the _Penny come so quick_, she could not refuse to
sell it.

_Captain Booth of Stockport_ (Vol. viii., p. 102.).--In answer to MR.
HUGHES'S inquiry about this antiquary, I beg to state that he will find
an _Ordinary of Arms_, drawn up by Captain Booth of Stockport, in the
Shepherd Library, Preston, Lancashire. It is one among the numerous
valuable MSS. given by the executors of the late historian of Lancashire,
Ed. Baines, Esq., M.P., to that library. In Lysons' _Magna Britannia_
(volume Cheshire), your correspondent will also find a mention of a John
Booth, Esq., of Twemlow, Cheshire, who was the author of various heraldic
manuscripts. It may, perhaps, be hardly necessary to inform Cheshire
antiquaries that an almost inexhaustible fund of information, on heraldry
and genealogy, is to be found in the manuscripts of Randle Holme,
formerly of Chester, which are {185} now preserved among the Harleian
MSS. in the British Museum.
JAYTEE.
_"Hurrah," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 20.).--The _clameur de Haro_ still exists
in Jersey, and is the ancient form there of opposing all encroachments
on landed property, and the first step to be taken by which an ejectment
can be finally obtained. It was decided in Pinel and Le Gallais, that the
_clameur de Haro_ does not apply to the opposal of the execution of a
decree of the Royal Court.
It is a remarkable feature in this process, that it is carried on by the
crown; and that the losing party, whether plaintiff or defendant, is
mulcted in a small fine to the king, because the sacred name of _Haro_ is
not to be carelessly invoked with impunity.
See upon the subject of the _clameur_, _Le Geyt sur les Constitutions,
etc. de Jersey_, par Marett, vol. i. p. 294.

Lincoln's Inn.
I do not think that the explanation of these words, quoted by MR. BRENT,
is much more probable than that of "Hierosolyma est perdita." In the
first place, if we are to believe Dr. Johnson, _hips_ are not _sloes_,
but the fruit or seed-vessels of the dog-rose or briar, which usually go
by that name, and from which it would be difficult to make any infusion
resembling wine. In the next place, it will be found, on reference to
Ben Jonson's lines "over the door at the entrance into the Apollo" (vol.
vii. p. 295., ed. 1756), of which the distich forms a part, that it is
misquoted. The words are,--
"Hang up all the poor _hop_-drinkers,
Cries old Sym, the king of skinkers;"
the hop or ale-drinkers being contrasted with the votaries of wine, "the
milk of Venus," and "the true Phœbeian liquor." Is it not possible, after
all, that the repetition of, "Hip, hip, hip," is merely intended to mark
the time for the grand exertion of the lungs to be made in enunciating
the final "Hurrah!"?
CHEVERELLS.
_Detached Belfry Towers_ (Vol. vii., p. 333.; Vol. viii., p. 63.).--The
bell-tower at Hackney, mentioned by B. H. C., is that of the old parish
church of St. Augustine. This church was rebuilt in the early part of the
sixteenth century, which is about the time of the present tower; and when
the church was finally taken down in 1798, the tower was forced to be
left standing, because the new parish church of St. John-at-Hackney was
not strong enough to support the peal of eight bells.

_Blotting-paper_ (Vol. viii., p. 104.).--I am disposed to agree with
SPERIEND in thinking Carlyle must be mistaken in saying this substance
was not used in Cromwell's time. The ordinary means for drying writing
was by means of the fine silver sand, now but rarely used for that
purpose; but I have seen pieces of blotting-paper among MSS. of the
time of Charles I., so as to lead me to think it was even then used,
though sparingly. This is only conjecture; but I can, however, establish
its existence at a rather earlier date than 1670. In an "Account of
Stationery supplied to the Receipt of the Exchequer and the Treasury,
1666-1668," occur several entries of "one quire of blotting-paper," "two
quires of blotting," &c. Earlier accounts of the same kind (which may be
at the Rolls House, Chancery Lane) might enable one to fix the date of
its introduction.
J. B-T.
The following occurs in Townesend's _Preparative to Pleading_ (Lond.
12mo. 1675), p. 8.:
"Let the dusting or sanding of presidents in books be avoided,
rather using _fine brown paper to prevent blotting_, if time
of the ink's drying cannot be allowed; for sand takes away the
good colour of the ink, and getting into the backs of books
makes them break their binding."
From this passage it may be inferred, that fine brown paper, to prevent
blotting, was then rather a novelty.

_Riddles for the Post-Office_ (Vol. vii., p. 258.).--The following is

"This is for old Mr. Willy, what prints the paper in Lancaster,

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
Although, like Canning's knife-grinder, we do not care to meddle with
politics, we have one volume on our table belonging to that department of
life which deserves passing mention, we mean Mr. Urquhart's _Progress of
Russia in the West, North, and South, by opening the Sources of Opinion,
and appropriating the {186} Channels of Wealth and Power_, which those
who differ most widely from Mr. Urquhart will probably deem worth
reading at a moment when all eyes are turned towards St. Petersburgh. It
is of course a knowledge of the great interest everywhere felt in the
Russian-Turkish question, which has induced Messrs. Longman to reprint
in their _Traveller's Library_, in a separate form and with additions,
_Turkey and Christendom, an Historical Sketch of the Relations between
the Ottoman Empire and the States of Europe_.
The Rev. R. W. Eyton announces for publication by subscription
_Antiquities of Shropshire_, which is intended to contain such accessible
materials as may serve to illustrate the history of the county during the
first two centuries after the Norman Conquest, though that period is not
proposed as an invariable limit. The preface to the first Number will
give an account of the public authorities which the author has consulted,
as well as of the materials which have been supplied or promised by the
kindness of individuals. Each Number will contain six sheets (96 pages),
and will be accompanied by maps or illustrations referable to the period.
Each fourth Number will include an Index. The first part will be put to
press as soon as 200 Subscribers are obtained, and the number of copies
printed will be limited to those originally subscribed for.
We are again indebted to Mr. Bohn for several valuable additions to our
stores of cheap literature. In his _Standard Library_ he has published
two volumes of _Lectures delivered at Broadmead Chapel, Bristol, by
the late John Foster_. In his _Antiquarian Library_ he has given us
the second volume of _Matthew of Westminster's Flowers of History_,
translated by C. D. Yonge, who has added a short but very useful
Index: while in his _Classical Library_ we have the first volume of
_The Comedies of Aristophanes: a New and Literal Translation from the
revised Text of Dindorf, with Notes and Extracts from the best Metrical
Versions_, by W. J. Hickie. The present volume contains The Acharnians,
Knights, Clouds, Wasps, Peace, and Birds.

_Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial._
"Bonn, July 19. 1852.
"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
nourishing and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many
cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in
confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints,
affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel;
inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of
the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This
really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory
result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where
irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary
and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually
the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth
to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and
consumption.
