Notes and Queries, Number 179, April 2, 1853.

Edward F. Rimbault.

English Bishops deprived by Queen Elizabeth, 1559 (Vol. vi., pp. 100. 203.; Vol. vii., p. 260.).—I regret that I am unable to furnish A. S. A. with any additional information respecting the Marian bishops. None of the authorities I used give the dates he requires. Possibly, Mr. Charles Butler's Historical Memoires of the English, Irish, and Scottish Catholics, 4 vols. 8vo., 1822, might answer his Queries.

I have ascertained from Calamy's Life and Times (vol. i. p. 409.), that Thomas White, the deprived Bishop of Peterborough, died in London, May 30, 1698; and that Robert Frampton, the deprived Bishop of Gloucester, died May 25, 1708 (vol. ii. p. 119.).

John I. Dredge.

"Jenny's Bawbee" (Vol. vii., p. 207.).—This is a very old song, a fragment of which (all we have) appeared in David Herd's Collection of Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs, 2 vols. 12mo., Edinb. 1776. As it is very short, I quote it:

"An' a' that e'er my Jenny had,My Jenny had, my Jenny had,A' that e'er my Jenny had,Was ae bawbee."There's your plack, and my plack,An' your plack, an' my plack,An' my plack, an' your plack,An' Jenny's bawbee."We'll put it a' in the pint-stoup,The pint-stoup, the pint-stoup,We'll put it in the pint-stoup,And birle't a' three."

There is a capital song founded upon this rude fragment, by the late Sir Alexander Boswell. It was published anonymously in 1803, and commences thus:

"I met four chaps yon birks amang,Wi hinging lugs and faces lang;I spier'd at neebour Bauldy Strang,Wha's they I see?"Quo' he, Ilk cream-fac'd pawky chielThought he was cunning as the diel,And here they cam' awa to stealJenny's bawbee."

Copies of this latter song may be seen in Johnson's Scottish Musical Museum, edit. 1839, vol. v. p. 435.; and in Graham's Songs of Scotland, 1848, vol. ii. p. 48.

Edward F. Rimbault.

The old Scotch ballad with the above title, on which Sir Alexander Boswell, Bart., founded his humorous song, with the same name, may be found in The Book of Scottish Songs, recently published in The Illustrated London Library, p. 229.

J. K. R. W.

Irish Convocation (Vol. vi., p. 317.).—I am unable to answer W. Fraser's Queries as to when the Irish Convocation last met, and where their deliberations are recorded; but that gentleman will find some account of its nature and constitution in a recently published pamphlet, entitled The Jerusalem Chamber, by the Rev. H. Caswall, M.A., pp. 39, 40.

J. C. B.

Spontaneous Combustion (Vol. vii., p. 286.).—Is there such a thing; meaning, I presume, of the human body? One of the latest and best authenticated cases is given in The Abstainer's Journal (Glasgow), No. III., March, 1853, p. 54. In the narrative is included the official medical report from the Journal of Medical Science, Dec. 1852.

W. C. Trevelyan.

Do the Sun's Rays put out the Fire? (Vol. vii., p. 285.).—

"Why does the sun, shining, on a fire, make it dull, and often put it out?

"1st. Because the air (being rarefied by the sunshine) flows more slowly to the fire; and

"2ndly. The chemical action of the sun's rays is detrimental to combustion.

"The sun's rays are composed of three parts; lighting, heating, and actinic or chemical rays. These latter interfere with the process of combustion."

The above is an extract from Rev. Dr. Brewer's Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, 6th edition, p. 50., which may perhaps prove interesting to C. W. B. At p. 58. of the same book, H. A. B. will find, I think, an answer in the affirmative to his Query (Vol. vii., p. 286.): "Is there such a thing as spontaneous combustion?"

C– S. T. P.

W– Rectory.

Dover Castle (Vol. vii., p. 254.).—The "j cenovectorum cum j rota ferro ligata" was a wheel-barrow. In the Promptorum Parvulorum occurs (p. 25.) "barowe cenovectorum."

E. G. R.

Quotations wanted (Vol. vii., p. 40.).—"And if he read little, he had need have much cunning to seem to know that he doth not." From Lord Bacon.—Bacon's Essays: Of Studies, p. 218. 12mo., 1819.

Miscellaneous

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC

If any of the readers of Mr. Hudson Turner's volume on Domestic Architecture have been under the apprehension that the death of that able antiquary would necessarily lead, if not to the abandonment of that work, to its being completed in a more imperfect manner than Mr. Turner would have completed it, we can assure them that such apprehension is entirely groundless. We have now before us the second part, entitled Some Account of Domestic Architecture in England from Edward I. to Richard II., with Notices of Foreign Examples, and numerous Illustrations of existing Remains from original Drawings. By the Editor of the Glossary of Architecture. The editing of the work is indeed most creditable to Mr. Parker, who, though he modestly confesses that if he had not known that he could safely calculate upon much valuable assistance from others more competent than himself, he would never have ventured to undertake it at all, had already given proof of his fitness for the task by the Glossary of Architecture with which his name has been so long and so honourably connected. The work, which supplies a deficiency which the architectural student has long felt, is produced in the same handsome style, and with the same profuseness of illustration, as its predecessor, and will be found valuable not only to archæologists who study history in brick and stone, but also to those who search in the memorials of bygone ages for illustrations of manners and customs, and of that greater subject than all, the history of our social progress.

Books Received.—History of England from the Peace of Utrecht to the Peace of Versailles, 1713—1783, by Lord Mahon, vol. ii. 1720—1740. This second volume of the new and cheaper edition of Lord Mahon's work extends from the accession of Walpole and Townshend to office in 1720, to the Declaration of War against Spain in 1739, and contains a valuable appendix of original papers.—The Annals of Roger de Hoveden, from A.D. 732 to A.D. 1201, translated from the Latin, with Notes and Illustrations, by Henry T. Riley. Vol. I. A.D. 732 to A.D. 1180, is a new volume of the valuable series of Translations of Early English Chronicles, which is to give so important a character to Bohn's Antiquarian Library.—Thomas à Becket and other Poems, by Patrick Scott. Notices of new poems scarcely fall within our vocation, but Mr. Scott is a true poet, and we cannot refuse to praise the present volume, and more especially the little poem which owes its origin to the notice of the opening of the coffin of Lady Audrey Leigh in our 156th Number.—The Family Shakspeare, &c., by Thomas Bowdler, Vol. V. This fifth volume contains Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus, Julius Cæsar, Antony and Cleopatra, and Cymbeline.

Notices to Correspondents

We hope next week, in addition to many other interesting articles, to lay before our readers a copy of a remarkable and inedited Proclamation of Henry VIII. on the subject of the Translation of the Scriptures; and some specimens of the Rigby Correspondence.

Hercules. The custom (which we hope does not very generally obtain) of sending green ribbons, called willows, tied round bridal cards, to rejected suitors of the bride, is no doubt derived from that alluded to by Shakspeare and Herrick, and especially Fuller, who tell us the willow "is a sad tree, whereof such as have lost their love make their mourning garments."

Robin Hood. A Subscriber would be obliged by H. K. (Vol. vi., p. 597.) giving a precise reference to the Act of the Scotch Parliament prohibiting "the plays and personages of Robin Hood." &c.

C. Mansfield Ingleby will find the proverb "When Our Lord falls in Our Lady's lap," &c., in our Number for the 12th Feb., p. 157.

Viator. The imprecatory Epitaph referred to has already appeared in our columns.

W. A. C. is thanked. The rhymes have, however, been already frequently printed by Brockett, Brand, &c.

B. L. (Manchester). The ordinary use of arms by the English nobility is supposed to date from about the year 1146. The arms on the shield of Geoffrey de Mandeville in the Temple Church have been considered among the earliest examples of heraldic bearings in England. He died in 1144.

Hy. Ce. Our Correspondent is probably correct. The lines are not in the reprint of the Musarum Deliciæ: so we amend our reply to David Brown in No. 177., by stating that the lines

"That same man, that runneth awaie,May again fight, an other daie"—

are from Udall's translation of the Apothegms of Erasmus.

Does a Corpse passing make a Right of Way? A. S. will find an elaborate answer to this Query in our 3rd Vol., p. 519. He is also referred to pp. 477. and 507. of the same volume, and pp. 124. 240., Vol. iv.

A. B. Mosaic is so named from the tesselated pavements of the Romans, which being worked in a regular and mechanical manner, were called Opus musivum, opera quæ ad amussim facta sunt. Hence the Italian musaico, the French mosaique, and our English mosaic. See "N. & Q.," Vol. iii., pp. 389. 469. 521.

C. Gonville. How can we forward a letter to this Correspondent?

M. C. The answer to Mr. Canning's famous riddle is "Cares—Caress."

Brookthorpe. The epitaph,

"If Heaven is pleased," &c.,

is sometimes said to have been written on Burnet, and at others on Coleman the Jesuit. See our 5th Vol., pp. 58. 137., &c.

Photographic Notes and Queries. Several articles are necessarily postponed until next week, when we will also give Replies to several Correspondents. We hope by that time to be able to report upon the new Camera.

The Rev. J. L. Sisson is thanked for the very beautiful specimen of his skill which he has forwarded to us. We hope to write to him in the course of a day or two.

Errata.—P. 284. col. 1. lines 27. 28. for "built a new house on a pinnacle, on which," read "built a new house, on a pinnacle of which." Line 31., dele full-stop after "yreret," and insert colon. P. 288. col. 2. l. 28. for "trull" read "hull," i. e. "hurl."

A few complete sets of "Notes and Queries," Vols. i. to vi., price Three Guineas, may now be had; for which early application is desirable.

"Notes and Queries" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

Gentlemen who are desirous of having good impressions of their works, may see specimens of Mr. Delamotte's Printing at his own residence, 38. Chepstow Place, Bayswater, or at
