[The following notice of Eugene Aram's Lexicon occurs in a letter
written by Dr. Samuel Pegge to Dr. Philipps, dated Feb. 18, 1760: "One
Eugene Aram was executed at York last year for a murder. He has done
something, being a scholar and a schoolmaster, towards a Lexicon on a
new plan. Hearing of this, I sent for the pamphlet, which contained
some account of his life, and the specimen of a Lexicon. He goes to the
Celtic, the Irish, and the British languages, as well as others; and
there are things, in the specimen that will amuse a lover of
etymologies." (_Gent. Mag._, 1789, p. 905.) Aram left behind him an
Essay relative to his intended work, from which some extracts are given
in Kippis's _Biographia Britannica_, s.v. The Lexicon does not appear
to have been printed.]

"N. & Q.," to be informed of the whereabouts of a locality in Scotland with
the above euphonious name.
