MERCANTILE FLAG (6th S. xii. 428).-I find in the Glossary of Terms used in British Heraldry (Oxford, J. H. Parker, 1847) the following extract from a royal proclamation dated April 12, 1606, which may serve to answer MR. ANDERSON'S question : "Whereas some difference has arisen between our subjects of South and North Britain, travelling by seas, about the bearing of their flags: for the avoiding of all such contentions hereafter, we have, with the advice of our council, ordered that from henceforth all our subjects of this isle and kingdom of Great Britain and the members thereof shall bear in their maintop the red cross commonly called St. George's Cross, and the white cross commonly called St. Andrew's Cross, joined together, according to a form made by our heralds and sent by us to our admiral to be published to our said subjects; and in their foretop our subjects of South Britain shall wear the red cross only, as they were wont; and our subjects of North Britain in their foretop the white cross only, as they were accustomed." F. R. O. I presume Scottish shipping before the Union used the Scottish flag, i.e., St. Andrew's cross. It is so shown, at least, in old engravings. F.S.A.Scot. WILLIAM LONGSWORD (6th S. xii. 246, 396).— MR. TEw will find in the following account of the Longespee family a clue to his puzzle, which arises from a confusion of the father with the son, both having borne the same name. As the pedigree is a short one, and has had some pains bestowed on it, I make no apology for offering it entire. William, surnamed Longespee, natural son of Henry II. and Rosamund Clifford (whose maternity I know of no reason to dispute), was born about 1175, and died at Salisbury Castle, March 6 or 7, 1226. He married 1. William, knight (never assumed title of Earl), minor in 1231; killed at Massoura, near Damietta, 1249. Married Idonia, daughter and heir of Richard de Camville and Eustachia Basset; born 1212, married April 11, 1216; living 1252, and perhaps March 12, 1305. 2. Richard, Canon of Salisbury. 3. Stephen, Justiciary of Ireland; dead in August, 1260. Married Emelina, daughter and heir of Walter de Ridelsford, and widow of Hugh de Lacy; died 1276. 4. Nicholas, consecrated Bishop of Salisbury, March 16, 1292; died at Ramsbury, March 18, 1297. Married before taking holy orders, Wife's name unknown; dead in 1291. 7. Ela, married (1), about 1229, Thomas de Newburgh, Earl of Warwick; (2) before Oct. 1, 1260, Philip Basset, of Wycombe; died at great age Feb. 6, 1297. 8. Ida, married (1) Walter Fitzwalter, (2) William Beauchamp, of Bedford; living Oct. 27, 1266. William and Idonia had issue-1. William, fourth Earl of Salisbury; killed in tournament at Blyth about Feb. 1, 1257. He married Maud, daughter of Walter, Lord Clifford, and Princess Margaret of Wales; married 1254. After his death she remarried John Giffard, of Brimsfield, vowed widowhood in 1271, and died before Oct. 1, 1284. 2. Richard, Lord of Bramley, died s.p. 1262. Married Alice, daughter and heir of William le Rus and Agatha de Clere; born at Christmas, 1247, died 1300. 3. Edmund, of whom nothing is known. 4. Ela, whose wardship was granted to the Countess Ela, her grandmother, June 30, 1233; married, before 1272, James, Lord Audley of Heleigh; died in or before 1299. Earl William and Maud had issue-1. A son, name unknown, betrothed to a daughter of the Earl of Albemarle ; doubtless died in childhood. 2. Daughter, name and further history unknown. 3. Margaret, only surviving child and heir of earldom; married Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, the contract being dated Dec. 22, 1256, and the fine, ten gold marks, paid into the King's Wardrobe Feb. 4, 1257; died Nov. 22, 1310, leaving issue. Stephen Longespee and Emelina had issue1. Emelina, born 1252, married Maurice Fitzmaurice, whose widow she was Aug. 26, 1288; died (about June) 1331. of Ashby; dead in 1276. 2. Ela, or Elena, married Roger de la Zouche, Bishop Nicholas had issue-1. William, of Broclosby, living 1324. 2. Agnes, Abbess of Shaftesbury. HERMENTRUDE. DR. HUGH JAMES (6th S. xii. 429) was the youngest son of the Rev. John James, D.D., Rector of Arthuret, and Kirkandrews, Cumberland. He was born at St. Bees, in the same county, July, 1771. Having studied in London and Edinburgh, he commenced practice as a surgeon at Whitehaven in 1796. Two years afterwards he had a severe illness, accompanied with severe inflammation of the eyes, which so impaired his sight that he had to give up all idea of practising as a surgeon. In 1803, his sight having somewhat improved, he was enabled to graduate at Edinburgh, and commenced practice as a physician at Carlisle. Still he was subject to violent attacks of inflamma 5.

"The Shepster maiden, dight in her array, Sees, askant, her visage in the glassy stream." These words (with a slight variation) were spoken by Hurra the Dane in Rowley's (Chatterton's) Ella, 1,1132. The passage, with the context, is as follows:"The mornynge 'gyns alonge the Easte to sheene; Darklinge the lyghte doe onne the waters plaie; The feynte rodde leme slowe creepeth oere the greene, Toe chase the merkyness of nyght awaie; Swifte flie the howers thatte wylle brynge oute the daie; The softe dewe falleth onne the greeynge grasse; Miscellaneous. N. H. HUNTER. NOTES ON BOOKS, &c. A Glossary of Words used in the County of Chester. By Upton-on-Severn Words and Phrases. By Robert Lawson. A Word-List Illustrating the Correspondence of Modern English with Anglo-French Vowel Sounds. By B. M. Skeat. (English Dialect Society.) MR. HOLLAND'S glossary of words used in Cheshire is a very useful book. We have nothing but praise to give it, except that the author errs, as many writers on dialect have done before him, by including words which are obviously good English in his pages. What can be the use of finding room for fling, to throw; easement, a wellknown law term; or eye, a brood of pheasants. Under "Bogwood," the timber frequently found in peat-bogs, Mr. Holland tells us that the common opinion is that they were submerged at "Noah's flood," and then goes on to say that "there is evidence that many, if not all, of the peat-bogs have been formed since the time of the Romans in England." This is startling news for us. We have no intimate acquaintance with the Cheshire peat-bogs, and therefore are not in a position to call his statement in question. Those we know in other counties present almost universally evidence of much greater antiquity than that of the Roman occupation. Were it worth while, we could produce instances of Roman ways being carried across the peat. Mr. Holland gives a very good description of the old-fashioned winnowing machine called the fan. It is valuable, as these instruments have gone out of use, and there is no museum where old-world implements of agriculture are preserved for the instruction of posterity. We are not aware that any book on agriculture, old or new, contains an engraving of the fan. We are much obliged to Mr. Holland for having pointed out that the Cheshire acre differs in size from the statute acre. This old measure, which is still in use, contains 10 240 square yards. It is much to be desired that some one would give us an exhaustive list of our old weights and measures. They are fast falling into disuse, and will soon be forgotten. As many of them are of remote antiquity, they may perhaps point to racial affinities of which many of our readers do not dream. Robert Holland. Part I. A—F. Mr. Lawson's Upton-on-Severn Words contains very little that is not to be found in other glossaries, but is "Rick-mould " useful as fixing the dialect of one spot. is new to us, and, what is far better than novelty, contains a touch of humour. It seems that a rick-mould is an imaginary implement, which some softie unacquainted with haymaking-a market-town "chap," we presumeis sent to borrow from somebody at a distant place. Strict injunctions are given to him not to drop it. The lender, of course, understands and enters into the joke, and puts some very heavy thing into a bag, which the unfortunate person not gifted with the wisdom of his companions has to carry on his back to the hayfield. "A good man Some interesting phrases are given. round a barrel, but no cooper," is said of one fond of drink. Miss B. M. Skeat's little tract on the correspondence of English and French vowel sounds will be of service to those who are engaged in investigating the obscure laws to which our modern irregular pronunciation is due. The Adventures of Gil Blas, of Santillana. Rendered into English by Henri van Laun. 3 vols. (Edinburgh, Paterson) The result is a book which IT is pleasant in Mr. van Laun's spirited and delightful rendering to renew acquaintance with the comic masterpiece of Le Sage. Though one of the books ordinarily read by boys of intellectual capacity, Gil Blas requires for its degustation and digestion the faculties of manhood. Its wit is the nearest approach to Molière, and giving a new version of a book which we own to having its' cynicism has the veritable flavour of comedy. In reread from cover to cover with unceasing delight and interest, Mr. van Laun has availed himself of existing translations. Where a page in an earlier rendering has been in his opinion incapable of improvement he has allowed it to stand; where addition or alteration was on its intrinsic merits will commend itself to most necessary it has been made readers. There are, however, some extraneous advantages which should be taken into account. The numerous etchings by M. Lalauze with which the three volumes are illustrated are in all respects worthy of that eminent artist. They are admirably Spanish in tone and marvellously delicate in execution. The prefatory matter has also special interest. This consists of an introductory notice, full of bibliographical information, and a short and spirited biography of Le Sage. In these the theory, often reasserted, that Le Sage plagiarized from an obscure Spanish work, is successfully combated. In England the view put forward by Llorente, that Gil Blas is translated from a manuscript written in Spanish by Don Antonio de Solis y Ribadeneira, the author of Historia de la Conquista de Mejico, has won come acceptance. Mr. van Laun's refutation will do much to dispel a popular error. This can scarcely fail to be the accepted translation of Gil Blas. Life of Sir William Rowan Hamilton. By Robert Percival Graves. Vol. II. (Longmans & Co.) THE second volume of this admirable biography does not contain so many separate passages of telling interest as the first, which treated of childhood and early youth. Here we find the great mathematician and astronomer at his daily work, or taking an active part in forwarding the progress of science at the meetings of the British Association. These things are most useful and instructive to the student, but for those who take but a languid interest in knowledge for its own sake we fear much will seem dull and uninteresting. Our sympathies are, however, in no degree with those people, and we should have been sorry had Mr. Graves, in obedience to popular taste, left out one line that he has printed. It is instructive to compare the present state of scientific knowledge with what it was eight-and-forty years ago. 480 latest generation of collectors. Among its contents is a complete collection of the works of Charles Dickens, in sixty-eight volumes, the second collection Mr. Hutt has made in the course of the year. Writing in 1837 to a friend, Sir William indicates plainly that until the meeting of the British Association at Bristol the knowledge that the world was vastly older than the received chronology, which we owe to ArchTHE City Press states that the committee of the Birk. bishop Ussher, was confined to a few geologists and men of culture who had become infected by their ideas.

His changing its name to the Birkbeck College, and a meetshort exposition of the system of Kant, given in this ing of members will shortly be held to decide the volume, is one of the very best things in it. The poems, question. though none of them reaching a high degree of excellence, are well worthy of preservation. That on the accession of the Queen, written at the time, is so excellent that we may be sure, had verse been the object of his life, Sir William would have taken a high rank among Irish poets. THE Yorkshire Archæological and Topographical Journal, Part XXIV., for 1885, always an interesting journal, contains a paper by Mr. Alexander D. H. Leadman on Aldborough Church, near Boroughbridge, illustrated by an engraving of the well-known brass of Sir William de Aldeburgh, circa 1360, which has the special interest attached to it of being stated to be the first correct representation of the brass. The paper contains a good deal of collateral information concerning the several families of the name of Aldeburgh or Aldborough which existed contemporaneously in the Middle Ages and perhaps later, and have been a source of considerable confusion. Mr. Leadman does not mention "Mons. Ive de Aldeburgh," returned as Sheriff of Edinburgh, Haddington, and Linlithgow, 33 Edw. I. (Rot. Parl. i. 267). He was clearly an Englishman, placed in office by the There was also a then dominant English power. judge of the Court of Common Pleas, t. Edw.
