The first of these is on p. 25, where we read :

"The Black Friars, on their arrival in England in the thirteenth century, first established themselves in a monastery on Holborn, which, subsequent to their removal to Blackfriars, the district named after them, passed into the hands of the Earls of Lincoln and became Lincoln's Inn."

This statement, which was first made by Stow (Survey,' ed. 1598, pp. 362, 363), is merely founded on a guess, that Lincoln's Inn must be the site of the Earl of Lincoln's house. Some years ago I made a careful inquiry into the history of the site of Lincoln's Inn, and I claim to have proved ('Black Books of Lincoln's Inn,' vol. iv. pp. 263-302) that the House of the BlackBarton-under-Needwood, Staffs. friars, granted to Henry de Lacy, Earl of "CATAMARAN" (10th S. iv. 286).—A coloured Lincoln, in 1286, stood at the north-east corner of Shoe Lane, and was the mansion caricature of Rowlandson's, date 1811, by virtue-or vice of a pun, gives a specimen of subsequently known as Holborn Hall.

WAKERLEY (10th S. iv. 369).-The name Wakerley is, of course, due to the placename Wakerley, in Northamptonshire, on the N.W. border, at no great distance from Uppingham, in Rutlandshire. The sense is "Wacra's lea," or field. The name Wacra is recorded in list B as given in Ellis's 'Introduction to Domesday Book'; and the gen. Wacran would regularly become Waker in later English.

Wakeley has a different prefix; like Wakefield, it means a lea (or field) in which wakes were formerly held."

The name Wacra is short for Wacora, a weak masc. nom. from the A.-S. adj. wacor, vigilant; which is spelt waker in the Ancren Riwle,' p. 142, where "ich was waker," ie, I was wakeful, is used to translate the Lat. vigilavi in Ps. cii. 7 (Vulgate). In the 'Promptorium Parvulorum,' p. 514, we find the entry 'Wakyr, pervigil." WALTER W. SKEAT.

Lincoln's Inn, on the other hand, has a clear title from 1227, when Henry III. granted a site in Newstreet (Chancery Lane) to Ralph Neville, Bishop of Chichester. The original patent is in the possession of the Society, and was doubtless handed over as the root of title when William and Eustace Suliard purchased the freehold from Richard Sampson, Bishop of Chichester, in 1535.

The second point arises not in the text, but in the title to one of the admirable illustrations. Near the end is a photograph of the old house in Portsmouth Street, near the south-west corner of Lincoln's Inn Fields. The house itself bears in large letters the. "The Old Curiosity Shop, inscription: immortalized by Charles Dickens." title to the plate is more cautious, and says: "The Old Curiosity Shop, Portsmouth Street (said to have been the original of Dickens's Old Curiosity Shop')." Said, forsooth! There is not a tittle of Said by whom? evidence to support it; it is an impudent assumption. And the witness to prove the lie is Dickens himself. On the last page of the novel he says: "The old house had been long ago pulled down, and a fine broad road was in its place." It is to be regretted that

"BESIDE" (10th S. iv. 306, 375). There have always been distinguished authors who have used "beside" where the grammarian would prefer the employment of "besides." Sir Thomas Browne, for example, introduces a paragraph in the Epistle Dedicatory to Hydriotaphia' with the remark; "Beside, to preserve the living, and make the dead to live......is not impertinent unto our profession." Prof. Dowden shows the same preference in the monograph on Southey which he contributed in 1879 to the "English Men of Letters" Series. "Beside the enthusiasm proper in Southey's nature," he says on p. 26, "there was at this time an enthusiasm prepense.' There is no accounting for these predilections and irregularities. THOMAS BAYNE.

RODERIGO LOPEZ (10th S. iv. 306).-It may perhaps be of use to point out that in the Calendar of Cecil MSS.,' iv. 438, Dr. Lopez and his son Anthony, a Winchester scholar, appear, possibly by a misprint, with the surname Coppez" (cf. ibid. 501), and that in Mr. Kirby's Winchester Scholars,' pp. 155, 157, the son is miscalled Anthony "Leper." This son, who was elected a scholar in 1592, lost his scholarship upon his father's conviction for treason in 1594, but had it restored to him again next year. His name is therefore entered twice in the College register, and both entries describe him as Anthony Lopez, of St. Bartholomew's, London. I should welcome information about his subsequent career. H.

Mr. Plummer has mixed them up; for he
says in his notes to the 'A.-S. Chronicle'
(ii. 58) that "in 789 [i.e., in a different year]
a synod was held at Cealchythe," &c.; for
which he duly refers us to Kemble and Birch.

But I always, when I can do so. verify my references; and when I turn to Kemble and Birch, it is the same old story. They do not mention Cealchyth at all, but only Celchyth! And I can well believe that this Celchyth is the same as the later Chelchethe mentioned in the Liber Custumarum,' p. 288; which easily may have become Chelchea or Chelsea Moreover, Celchyth was famous." I find "in loco famoso qui dicitur Celchyth" in Birch, 'Cart. Saxon..' i. 356 (A.D. 789); and "in loco celebri qui dicitur Celchyth" in the same, i. 374 (A.D. 793). It is spelt Cælic-hyth in A.D. 799-802, id., i. 285; Celic-hy th in the same, i. 491 (A.D. 815); Calc-hyth in the same, i. 538; and Celc-hyth in the same, i. 354, 355, 356, 359, 374, 388, 390, 420. These charters are mostly Mercian.

As for calic, it usually means a chalice," from Lat. acc. calicem; but it is hard to apply this. In 1. 20 of "The Traveller's Song,' Cælic is given as the name of a king of the Finns! WALTER W. SKEAT.

LOUIS XIV.'S HEART (10th S. ii. 346, 496; iii. 336).

It is impossible that Cealchythe could have been an old name of Chelsea, for cealc is chalk, and the modern name of it could never have got nearer than Chalkea.

ARCHBISHOP KEMPE (10th S. iv. 348).-Probably there is no authentic portrait of Cardinal Kempe in existence. In The Gentleman's Magazine for November, 1845, there is a memoir of the cardinal by his

namesake, the late accomplished antiquary
A. J. Kempe, F.S.A., which is accompanied
by the copy of a supposed portrait copied by
Albin Martin from a picture in the possession
of the Duke of Sutherland, which was
formerly in the collection of Horace Walpole
at Strawberry Hill. It formed one of four
panels which were doors to an altarpiece
that, at the beginning of the eighteenth
century, came into the possession of Peter
le Neve, Norroy, and were subsequently
sawn into four pictures by Horace Walpole.
The portraits on the outside panels were
supposed by Walpole to represent Cardinal
Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, and Cardinal
Kempe, Archbishop of Canterbury; but the
symbols of a lion and of a scourge which are
figured in the pictures denote, in the opinion
of competent antiquaries, that the portraits
were intended to represent St. Jerome and
St. Ambrose. A reference on this point may
be made to the paper on the memorials of
persons buried in the church of Allhallows,
Barking, by George Richard Corner, F.S.A.,
and John Gough Nichols, F.S.A., which was
published in the Transactions of the London
and Middlesex Archæological Society (1862),
ii. 245-6.

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY" (10th S. iv. 368). It is interesting to find that one of our Old English poets consoled himself by a similar reflection. In the Complaint of Deor' we find, five times over, viz. in 11. 7,

13, 17, 20, 27, the excellent sentiment: "Thæs ofereode, thisses swa meg!" That is to say, "I survived that trouble, so likewise may WALTER W. SKEAT. survive this one!"

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (10th S. iv. 369).—The often-quoted line,

A rose-red city half as old as Time,
from Dean Burgon's Newdigate prize poem
Petra,' of 1845, owes the last five words to
Samuel Rogers, who in his Italy' (1842),
p. 245, writes :-

By many a temple half as old as Time.
A. R. BAYLEY.

The line is in Burgon's Newdigate poem;
but the author has borrowed his thought
from Rogers's Italy.' I noticed this re-
semblance in an anonymous letter which
appeared in The Times many years ago.

[Reply also from the REV. J. PICKFORD.] "PHOTOGRAPHY" (10th S. iv. 367).—In 'The Penny Cyclopædia (1840), under 'Photogenic Drawings,' we read :

"Such apparatus is named after its inventor the Daguerreotype, and the process itself either photogeny, photography, or heliography (sun-drawing). The invention was first formally communicated to the public by M. Arago, who read an account of the Daguerreotype before the Academy of Sciences,

January 7th, 1839."

Probably, therefore, that was the first place in which the word "photography" (in its French form) was used, and Sir John Herschel seems to have immediately adopted it, in preference to the others.

'BYWAYS IN THE CLASSICS' (10th S. iv. 261, 352).-I see that Byron excuses himself for thrusting in the tu; and it was careless of me to overlook that. But he certainly thought that he was quoting from Horace, who has expressed himself similarly :—

Diligit, tutus caret obsoleti
Sordibus tecti.

As medio is accented in English like Cassius,
it is immaterial that the first syllable is

LYNDE : DELALYNDE FAMILY (10th S. iii. 309, 417).-MR. MONTFORT asks whether all the Lyndes, Delalyndes, or De La Lyndes (whose arms are given by Papworth as three bucks' heads) were settled in Dorsetshire, and whether the Staffordshire De La Lyndes were another family.

tional even for those times; though they admit that the assumption of the bucks', heads, probably in more recent times, by the Hartley branch might have arisen from the above tradition, which they state still lingered in the Vale of Blackmore, though they had been unable to obtain any original evidence in support of it.

The De La Lyndes, besides their Dorset property, possessed considerable estates in Somerset, Sussex, Lincolnshire, and Cumberland; but I can find no mention of their having held any property in Staffordshire. The name would appear to have been extinct in Dorset for many years, and their former estates at Hartley and Winterborne Clenston are held by the Digby and Mansel-Pleydell families respectively. The old manor house at Winterborne Clenston, now used as a farmhouse, is still a building of very considerable architectural interest. J. S. UDAL, F.S.A.

ANTHONY BEC (10th S. iv. 369). It was not at Lincoln, but in Durham Cathedral that Bishop Anthony Bec or Bek was interred. In Canon Fowler's reprint of the Rites of Durham (Surtees Society (Surtees Society Publications, vol. cvii. p. 38) it is stated, on the authority of a MS. Roll dated about 1600, that

In Hutchins's 'History of Dorset' (third edition, vol. iv. p. 499) a pedigree of the... above family is given as of Hartley and Winterborne Clenston, co. Dorset, whose original arms are there stated to be Argent, a cross lozengy (engrailed) gules; but it is mentioned that the arms afterwards assumed by the Dorset branch were Gules, three bucks' heads couped argent.

The seal of Elias de la Lynde alluded to by MR. C. WATSON at the latter reference is described by Hutchins at vol. i. p. 189, where there also appears a lengthy account of this family, from which we learn that it was settled in Dorset from the time of Henry II., when one Robert de la Linde held one knight's fee in 12 Henry II., and was evidently of French origin.

The change of arms above mentioned may have arisen from the well-known Dorset legend-mentioned in Coker (Survey of Dorset') and Camden-that a member of the family who was bailiff of the forest of Blackmore, temp. Henry III., had committed the unpardonable offence of killing a white hart, and in consequence had been mulcted by the king in the payment of a heavy annual fine known as "white hart silver." The compilers of this last edition of Hutchins, however, throw doubt on the whole story as being improbable, and most unconstitu
