_Officers of Charles I._ (Vol. ix., p. 74.).--SIR T. METCALFE mentions, as
among the "curious stray sheets" in his possession, "a list of all the
gentlemen and officers who fell in the cause of Charles I." As I have long
wished to see a list of King Charles's officers, but have never, as yet,
met with anything like a complete catalogue of those who fell, or of those
who survived, it would be interesting to me, as I doubt not it would be
interesting to many of your readers, to see this "curious stray sheet"
transferred to the pages of "N. & Q."
Can you refer me to any published, or otherwise accessible, list of the
officers who fought _against_ Charles I., whether by sea or land?
Is there any printed list of officers at the time of the Restoration?

_D. O. M._ (Vol. iii., p. 173.; Vol. ix., p. 137.).--Would R. W. D. state
his reasons for rendering these letters "Datur omnibus mori?" Such an
inscription would of course be _à propos_ in the case of a tombstone; but
the ordinary interpretation, "Deo Optimo Maximo," would likewise be
fitting, and it is not probable that the same initials should have two
distinct meanings.
