TOMB OF UGO FOSCOLO.-In the churchyard of Chiswick is the grave of Ugo Foscolo, who died in the year 1827, aged fifty. The original tomb has been recently removed (1861), and a new one of polished granite, within a handsome iron railing, has been substituted for it. On either side are the armorial bearings of the deceased, namely, Gules, a fess argent; crest, a crown; motto, “Accingar zonâ fortitudinis.”

Some of your correspondents may perhaps be able to furnish a short notice of this eminent Italian patriot. J. H. JAMES.

ARCHBISHOP LEIGHTON'S LIBRARY.

(3rd S. iv. 63.) EIRIONNACH calls The Puritan turned Jesuit Dr. John Owen's treatise, as if it was a wellknown acknowledged work of his. It is true Dr. Watt sets it down as his, but no mention is

made of it by Dr. Andrew Thomson, nor by the author of his Lite in the Biographia Britannica, nor by Wood in his Athenæ. I should be glad to know why EIRIONNACH so unhesitatingly fathers it upon Owen, who is not likely, prima facie, to have published a work with such a title.

The name of Minus Celsus Senensis is not fictitious. He was a learned Italian, a native of Siena, who lived in the early part of the sixteenth century. He embraced Protestantism, retired into the Grisons, and finally settled at Bâle, where he became a corrector of the press. Andrew Dudith wrote a letter on the same subject, which, with that of Beza on the opposite side, is appended to the treatise of Minus Celsus.

In reference to EIRIONNACH'S query respecting Antoine Arnauld, I give the following extract from the Preface to the 12th vol. of his Œuvres, Paris et Lausanne, 1775-82. 4o, 50 vols. :

"La Tradition de l'Église, &c., fut le premier écrit de MM. de Port-Royal concernant le principal article de la controverse avec les Calvinistes: encore n'y avoit-il qu'un rapport indirect. L'édification des fidèles en étoit le but principal. Il formoit la plus grande partie de l'Office du S. Sacrement, publié en 1659, en 2 vols. in-8°. Cette Office ne renfermoit d'abord, avec les Prières ordinaires, que les Leçons qui se récitent le jour de la Fête et pendant l'Octave. On jugea à propos d'y en ajouter pour tous les Jeudis de l'année: six pour chaque Jeudi. Ces Leçons, au nombre de 312, forment la Tradition de l'Eglise touchant l'Eucharistie. Ce ne sont que des extraits des meilleurs ouvrages des Pères de l'Eglise sur cette matière. La petite Perpétuité de la Foi étoit destinée, dans son origine, à servir de Préface à cet ouvrage; mais elle fut supprimée, parcequ'on jugea plus convenable de ne rien mêler qui sentît la controverse dans un écrit où l'on ne se proposoit que d'éclairer et de nourrir la piété des fidèles pour ce saint mystère. La courte Préface qu'on y substitua ne fut consacrée qu'à rendre compte du dessein qu'on avoit eu en composant cet office du S. Sacrement, et à presenter l'esquisse de l'argument développé dans le livre De la Perpétuité de la Foi. M. Dupin et M. Besoigne attribuent cette Préface à M. Arnauld, aussi bien que la direction de tout l'Office du S. Sacrement. Mais la traduction des passages des Pères, dont les Leçons de cet Office sont composées, est donnée à M. le Maître et au Duc de Luynes qui avoit un très-beau génie pour la traduction. M. Arnauld et les autres Théologiens compagnons de sa retraite, se contentèrent de la revoir et de la corriger. . . . La Table Historique et Chronologique des SS. Pères et des Auteurs Ecclesiastiques, dont on a tiré les Leçons contenues en l'Office du S. Sacrement fut imprimée à la suite de ces mêmes Leçons, auxquelles on avoit donné le titre particulier de Tradition de l'Eglise sur l'Eucharistie. Quoique les opinions varient au sujet de l'auteur de cette Table, nous n'hésitons pas à la donner à M. Arnauld. Ceux qui l'attribuent à M. le Maître ont sans doute confondu la traduction des extraits des SS. Pères avec la Table chronologique, et n'ont peut-être pas fait attention qu'il étoit mort en 1658, plus d'un an avant l'impression de l'Office du S. Sacrement, auquel la Table est postérieure. A l'égard de M. de Sacy, et de M. le Duc de Luynes, que d'autres en font Auteurs, il n'est pas vraisemblable qu'ils aient composé un écrit de cette érudition. Nous nous en tenons donc au jugement de ceux qui l'attribuent à M. Arnauld, d'autant mieux que le style et le caractère de cet écrit lui conviennent parfaitement."

which the above extract is taken were l'Abbé de Bellegarde, and l'Abbé de Hautefage.

The editors of the Works of Arnauld from

Pierre Thomas du Fossé was born at Rouen in

1634, and was the son of Gentienne Thomas, maître des comptes en la chambre de Normandie, He was educated at the monastery of Port-Royal, to which he was admitted at nine years of age, and continued all his life a devoted adherent of the doctrines maintained in that establishment.

"Le Maître de Sacy, frère d'Antoine," (I quote from the Biographie Universelle), "lui proposa de travailler seulement Du Fossé avait recueilli les matériaux de cette avec lui à la vie de dom Barthélemi des Martyrs. Non Vie, donnée par M. de Sacy, et l'avait traduite de l'espagnol; il avait encore eu part à sa composition, en sorte qu'on peut la lui attribuer, à plus juste titre peut-être qu'à M. de Sacy."

He also wrote a life of Thomas à Becket and other biographical works, and had a considerable

share in De Sacy's edition of the Bible. He died November 4th, 1698, a few months after he had completed the composition of his Memoirs, which were published at Utrecht in 1739. Αλιεύς. Dublin,

reptiles of any kind; and the preferable conclusion seems to be, that his having driven out the "old serpent" by his preaching and labours, was in course of time taken in a literal sense. It is well known to archeologists, that to other saints is attributed the expulsion of serpents, merely from their spiritual triumphs, or the success of

IRELAND.

(3rd S. iv. 82.)

As to

This subject has been so fully discussed in "N. & Q.," 1st S., that the question may well be considered to be set at rest. Canon DALTON has, however, two queries on the subject; first, as to the fact of no venomous reptiles existing now in Ireland; and, secondly, as to the real derivation of the popular tradition. As to the first, he answers it himself, by assuring us that "serpents and adders" have been seen there; though all the people, he says, declare that none are venomous. By serpents I presume he means snakes, which are harmless; but adders, or vipers, are everywhere venomous. If, then, adders are seen in Ireland, venomous reptiles are certainly there. frogs and toads, these are not venomous, though a foolish prejudice attributes venom to the latter. I have kept several toads, and made many experiments upon them, and my firm conviction is that they are perfectly harmless. EIRIONNACH ("N.&Q." 1st S. iii. 490) gives instances of an unsuccessful importation of adders into Ireland, but also mentions snakes as flourishing in the county of Down. Another correspondent, MR. W. PINKERTON (1S. iv. 12), maintains that though the snake is not indigenous to Ireland, there is nothing in either the soil or climate to prevent its naturalisation. He also mentions that the species of toad called natter-jack is found about Killarney. In a second communication (1st S. vi. 42), EIRIONNACH considers the true origin of the introduction of frogs into Ireland to have been the importation of spawn from England, about the beginning of the last century, by Dr. Gwythers. It seems then certain that frogs, toads, and snakes, are found in Ireland; but we have no evidence that adders, otherwise called vipers, are there, except from CANON DALTON'S Own information.

But, secondly, as to the popular tradition that St. Patrick, by his benediction, exempted Ireland from venomous reptiles; this is satisfactorily disposed of by the testimony of a writer long before St. Patrick's time, Julius Solinus, who writes thus in his Polyhistorie, c. xxii., towards the close of the first century :—

"Illic (Hibernia) nullus anguis, avis rara, gens inhospita et bellicosa."

This is quoted by C. H. in "N. & Q.," 1st S. vi. 590. There appears, therefore, no solid foundation for applying the legend of St. Patrick to

lake, Didymus, Hilary of Arles, Hilary of Poictiers, and Pirminius. The legend of St. George and the Dragon is traced to a similar origin; and the tradition of the preservation of Malta from account of what befel St. Paul in that island. A venomous reptiles arose very naturally from the remark of EIRIONNACH, however, in his first communication deserves attention. The symbol, he remarks, may have had a deeper meaning, if, as times in Ireland. many think, serpent worship obtained in early F. C. H.

LAW OF LAURISTON.

(3rd S. iii. 486; iv. 31, 76.)

I have for some years been collecting all the particulars in my power respecting the pedigree of the Laws of Lauriston. I have been induced to do this from my father, the late Sir John T. Lee, being the great-grandson of Jean, the sister of the celebrated John Law.

The pedigree, as preserved in our family, is as follows:

Jean, the sister of John Law (daughter of Wm. Law and Jean Campbell), was born Sept. 12, 1669. She married John Hay, M.D., of Letham, grand-nephew of Sir John Nesbit of Dirleton; and related to the Hays, Marquesses of Tweedale. The issue of this marriage was an only daughter, Margaret Hay; married to James M'Lellan of the Kircudbright family. Their daughter, Margaret Hay M'Lellan, married Jan. 12, 1784, John Lee, Capt. R.N., of the Lees of Darnhall in Cheshire. They were married in the parish church of Stoke Damarel, Devon; and I possess a certified copy of the marriage register.

The issue of this marriage was an only son, Sir John T. Lee, of Lauriston Hall, Torquay; born Aug. 27, 1784; died October 25, 1843. Also a daughter, Henrietta Maria, died s. p.

Sir J. T. Lee married Sophia Reed, daughter of Major William Lawler of Greenwich, and had issue

1. John Hutchinson, of Balsdon, Torquay. 2. Melville Lauriston, of Magdalen College, Cambridge, Rector of Bridport.

3. Alfred Theophilus, of Christ's College, Cambridge, and Rector of Ahoghill.

And a daughter, Henrietta Margaret Hay, and other female issue.

I have in my possession a copy of the will of

Jean Campbell, dated July 18, 1707. By it she devises the lands of Lauriston and Randalston, in the parish of Cramond, in the first place to the heirs male of her eldest son John; and in default, to the heirs male of her sons William, Robert, and Hugh, in succession. Failing these, to the heirs female of John Law; failing these, she orders the lands of Lauriston and Randalston to be sold, and the proceeds to be divided into seven equal portions, to be distributed amongst: 1. The children of Agnes, her eldest daughter (married to John Hamilton Wales, of the Signet, then deceased); 2. the children of her second son, Andrew; 3. children of Lilias; 4. Robert; 5. William; 6. Hugh; 7. and Margaret Hay, the only child of her daughter Jean and John Hay, M.D.

The witnesses to this will were James Marshall, Writer to the Signet; and James Lantill, servitor to the said James Marshall.

The children of William Law and Jean Campbell were as follows:

1. Agnes, born Feb. 1, 1666; married John Hamilton, W.S.

2. James, died s. p. 1667.

3. Jean, born Sept. 12, 1669; married Dr. John Hay.

4. John Law, of Lauriston, born April 21, 1671. 5. William, died bachelor.

6. Andrew, born Nov. 22, 1673.

7. William, born Oct. 24, 1675, Director-General of the French E. I. C.; and succeeded to the Lauriston estate in 1734.

8. Janet, born 1677.

9. Robert, born 1678.

Carvalho of Madras, of the Portuguese family of Pombal; and died 1767, aged forty-three years; who was Commander-in-Chief of French East Indian forces. He had a son, James Francis Law, born 1758, and three daughters: the eldest married M. de Bruno; the second, Frances Xavier Charlotte, married Charles Smith, Esq., Governor of Madras; and had issue Culling Charles Smith, who married, Aug. 9, 1799, Lady Anne Wellesley, sister of the Duke of Wellington, and widow of Hon. Henry Fitzroy. The issue of this marriage was a daughter Emily Frances, married in 1822 to Henry, seventh Duke of Beaufort.

Marshal Law had four brothers: Charles Louis, born 1769; Joseph Charles, born 1770; Francis John William, born Aug. 2, 1771: Louis George, born 1773. F. J. W. Law was, on May 21, 1808, declared to be the nearest and legitimate heir of his father John Law, to the exclusion of his elder brothers, who were Roman Catholics, and so became possessed of the Lauriston and Randalston estates. These were sold by his direction during his life-time, in or about 1824; the sum realised for them being about 25,000l. And the purchase money was divided in accordance with the direction of the will of Jean Campbell.

Your correspondent G. will see from the above, that F. J. W. Law was grand-nephew of the great financier. ALFRED T. LEE.

The "F. J. W. Law of Lauriston," mentioned by your correspondent as appearing in the Edinburgh Almanack of 1812, was Francis John W. Law, Esq. He was the grandnephew of the famous John Law,

11. Hugh, born 1682. William Law, the father, died in 1684. Campbell survived till 1707.

Jean

William Law, who inherited the Lauriston estate, married Rebecca Dives: and had issue John Law (born 1719), Governor-General of French India; and Jane Frances Law, born 1724 (of whom hereafter).

John Law (of Lauriston), the eldest son, married, in 1755, Jean, daughter of Don Alexander Carvalho, a Portuguese noble, who had issue :

1. John William Law de Lauriston, born Sept. 8, 1766; died on voyage of discovery with M. De la Peyrouse.

2. James Alex. Law de Lauriston (born Feb. 1, 1768), Aide-de-Camp to Emperor Napoleon I., and Marshal of France. He was the bearer of the Treaty of Peace of Amiens to London. He was succeeded by his son Augustus John Alexander, second Marquis, who died in 1860; and was succeeded by his son Alexander Louis Joseph, born in 1821, the third and present Marquis.

John Francis Law (the second son of William and Rebecca Law), born 1724; married a Miss

PLATFORM (3rd S. iv. 57.)-I select the following from the Preface to Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity:

"We have secretly framed our own Churches according to the Platform of the Word of God."

"And have grounded your Platform on such propositions," &c. P. P.

"HE WHO FIGHTS AND RUNS AWAY" (3rd S. iv. 61.)-If Goldsmith expanded the original passage of Butler's. Hudibras, he was anticipated by a French translation in verse, made, it is said, for Prince Eugène, and quoted in the notes of Dr. Zachary Grey:

"Car ceux qui s'enfuient peuvent revenir sur ses pas: Ainsi ils ne sont jamais mis hors de combat: Mais ceux au contraire qui démeurent sur sa place Se privent de tous moyens de réparer leur disgrace." It would be remarkable if two writers should independently have fallen upon an expansion so similar as these. T. C. Durham.

BATH HOSPITAL (3rd S. iv. 47.) — The Note of your correspondent X. A. X., referring to the establishment of the Bath Hospital in 1739, puts me in mind of an anecdote that I remember to

have heard many years ago. And perhaps some of your correspondents may be able to verify it.

The hospital was established chiefly for the reception of poor strangers, resorting to Bath for the benefit of the waters. The funds were raised, at least in part, by subscription; and the wealthier invalids were naturally canvassed for contributions. learned bishop who was exceedingly ill, and not Among these there happened to be a expected to recover. The members of the Committee, who waited on the dying bishop to solicit his aid, very ingeniously added a 0 to the several sums of 57. that figured in the list; and his lordship, doing as others appeared to have done, put down his name for 50l. But such was the virtue of the waters, that the bishop recovered; and a year or two afterwards, he visited Bath again. To his great surprise, a deputation from the Committee waited on him to request that, as he was the principal contributor, he would favour them with a motto for the hospital. Glancing over the subscription list, his Lordship at once perceived how he had been dealt with, and gave them as a motto: "I was a stranger, and ye took me in." Who was the bishop? Is the motto still retained?

TANJIBS (34 S. iv. 88.)-Tanjib is a corruption of the Hindústání word, tanzeb, signifying muslin; mulmul seems to come from malmal, of the same meaning; dorea may be from the Persian, darya-i, which Shakespear (Hind. Dict.) renders, "a kind of silk cloth" (gros de Naples ?); and tarnatan may be the origin of tarletan (Fr. tarletane). R. S. CHARNOCK.

OSCOTIAN LITERARY GAZETTE (3rd S. iv. 87.) -ZETA inquires the titles of the "Dramatic Sketches" in this interesting publication, and the names or initials of the authors. It may be well, first, to give the history of the " Oscotian." The students of Oscott College established a very useful stimulus to youthful composition, which they named the "Repository." Literary contributions were slipped into a box fixed up for their reception, and these were read up publicly once a week by a chosen editor. This" Repository lasted for some time, and gradually died away. After some years, however, it was revived, and with so much success, that the students actually undertook to print the contributions themselves, and issued them in numbers, as the Oscotian, or Literary Gazette of St. Mary's. I have a specimen of these home and certainly homely printed numbers; but probably a complete set of them is not in existence. The " Oscotian was kept up, however, for several years, and the whole was reprinted by a regular publisher in Birmingham, in three volumes, 1828-1829, as the Second Edition, and dedicated to the distinguished President of the College, the Rev. Henry Weedall.

To come now to the inquiries of ZETA, I have to observe that the dramatic pieces in the collection are only four,-two in the first volume, and one in each of the others. The first, the most remarkable and by far the best, is the piece, p. 16, vol. i., entitled "Mrs. Thrifty," so much relished by all old Oscotians. It was written by Henry Weedall, then a student, and first appeared in the original "Repository." The second, at p. 64, is "Scene in Charles the First, a new Tragedy." It occupies only four pages, and has no signature. The next dramatic piece occurs in vol. ii. p. 281, and consists of three scenes translated from a

Spanish drama, "La Comedia Nueva," and bearing the initials D. S. L. (Denis Shine Lalor). The last comes at the end of vol. iii.; it is a humorous scene, called the "Editor's Dinner," and is anonymous. F. C. H. CHARRON "ON WISDOM" (3rd S. iv. 48.)-I have a copy in quarto (small) 7 by 6 in., the old engraved frontispiece, with explication in verse on left hand, translated by Samson Len

nard, and printed for Nathaniel Renew and Jonathan Robinson, at the King's Arms, St. Paul's Church Yard, 1670. This is, I should think, the edition mentioned by MR. HÁZLITT as advertised 1671.

There is a list of books lately printed and sold by N. R. & J. R. at the end, but the Charron is not included, so that the price does not appear. J. A. G.

THEODOLITUS (3rd S. iv. 51, 74.)-One of the books in which this word might be looked for is, Uso del Compass' optico di D. Francesco di Lodosa, I noted Prete Alvernese, Roma, 1597, 12mo. this book for containing Bartoli's Table of Squares (to 661), and he gives the means of continuing it as far as you wish by adding twice the last number and one more. Having myself made nearly 50,000 squares, I can assert that this is a very expeditious method.

STRANGE DERIVATIONS: TREACLE, PONTIFEX (3rd S. iv. 84.) The derivation of the word treacle, ridiculed by W. BOWEN ROWLANDS, is, for all that, the received derivation, and, until he points out a better, there seems to be no objection to it. In Donnegan's Lexicon, Orpiakà pápμaкa are described as antidotes against the bites of wild animals; and Richardson (v. "Theriac") says,—

"From Onpiov, a wild beast, applied especially to a serpent. Hence a composition so called either because made of vipers' flesh, or because a remedy against serpents, and generally against poisons. From theriaca we

take our word treacle."

Nor is the derivation of pontifex from pontemfaciens to be lightly passed over, though it may be a question whether we are to take Varro's explanation that the pontiffs had built the Pons Sublicius, and afterwards frequently restored it, that it might be possible to perform sacrifices on each side of the river; or we prefer to take facere in the sense of "to offer sacrifices," and so make the pontiffs to be the priests who offered sacrifices upon the bridge, in Greek ye uporolí.

The derivation of treacle is right. Voss., De Idolol. iv. 62; Galen, De Theriacâ; Bishop Andrewes, Lent Sermon, i. fin., or a hundred other authorities.
