The address was 18, Charles Street, St. James's. I dare say I should have heard of it if it still existed. The prospectus was admirable, and the society deserved support. I should be glad to hear about it, and the valuable collections it made.

'INGOLDSBY LEGENDS.'-In 'Barney Maguire's Account of the Coronation' ('Ingoldsby Legends') there is the following expression :—

The Prince of Potboys, and great haythen Jews. I should be very glad to receive some explanation of the allusion. W. G. Rebuilding of ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.-Can any one tell me where Sir Christopher Wren's plans and models for St. Paul's Cathedral were shown to Charles II.? Was it at Whitehall; and, if so, who was present on these occasions? Any other particulars would be gratefully received by

NAPOLEON LITERATURE.-I have lately met with a curious book, concerning which I should be glad to receive some information, particularly as to authorship. Its title is "Napoleon in the other World. A Narrative written by Himself: and found near his Tomb in the Island of St. Helena. By Xongo-tee-foh-tchi, Mandarin of the Third Class. London, Henry Colburn, 1827." I refrain from commenting on the work, as I have no doubt many of your readers are well acquainted with it; but in the interests of bibliography I am anxious to obtain the name of the writer.

LE FEVRE.-I would feel much obliged if any correspondent could inform me of the original or correct way of spelling the names variously written Le Feuvre, Lefevre, Le Fevre, Lefebvre, Lefebure, &c. I find in the parish_books it is spelt several ways. We now spell it Le Fevre. Is there any crest attached to the name of Le Fevre? There is to Lefevre, I know. FABER.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF PHILOLOGY (7th S. ii. 445; iii. 161, 277,315,411; iv. 18).—I ought to have foreseen that it would be wasting words to reply to a writer who maintains the paradox that the fundamental principle of modern philology is only 66 a scientific craze,' ""one of the most gigantic popular delusions that human ingenuity ever expended itself fruitlessly upon."

MR. HALL'S qualifications for the task of combating, single-handed, a conclusion which has been accepted, as PROF. SKEAT says, by every advanced philologist, can easily be tested. imagines that the Baikal, to which I referred as the extreme eastern limit of the region in which the Aryan race may possibly have originated, is not, as geographers have hitherto supposed, an inland sea, but a tribe of "migratory nomads." The blunder is as amusing as that of the Tyrolese tourist who thought that the Dolomites were a sect of Syrian heretics. Not content with having turned the great lake of Central Asia into "the Scythians of Herodotus," MR. HALL informs us that their form of speech." MR. HALL has misplaced the language was an agglutinative or monosyllabic Scythians of Herodotus by a trifle of about two thousand miles, and is also ignorant of the fact that the language of these Scythians has been shown by Jacob Grimm to belong to the IndoEuropean family.

It would require too much space to examine in detail MR. HALL's numerous delusions. I will

therefore refrain from dissecting his lucid statement that the aborigines of the Baltic is an ethnological locality, or the still more remarkable discovery that a primitive German prefix is "taken directly" from a Latin verb.

I would recommend MR. HALL, before he writes again, to study a few of the standard works on the subject, such as Pictet's 'Origines Indo-Européennes,' Penka's 'Herkunft der Arier' and his Origines Ariacæ,' Spiegel's 'Arische Periode,' Fick's Ehemalige Spracheinheit der Indo-Germanen Europas,' as well as the immortal works of Bopp and Jacob Grimm. When he has mastered these books it will be possible profitably to discuss the subject with him, though I suspect that he will then find that there is nothing to discuss. ISAAC TAYLOR.

The lapsus pluma or misprint (whichever it was) in my query, in giving 1774 instead of 1744 as the year of the birth of Queen Charlotte, was marked by me as a corrigendum in the next number of N. & Q.' (p. 340).

It is to be hoped that Dr. Egli is a reader of 'N. & Q.,' and will see the reason why Capt. Cook associated January 18 with Queen Charlotte, although her real birthday was, as he rightly remarks in his Etymologisch-geographisches Lexikon,' May 19. W. T. LYNN.

CAPE CHARLOTTE (7th S. iii. 309, 480).—I must confess that when I read MR. MARSHALL'S reply to my query at the first of these references, it seemed to me to substitute one difficulty for another; for if the queen's birthday was kept as a movable feast with a range over several months, how could Capt. Cook, who, in 1775, was returning from a long cruise in the South Pacific, know that it would be observed that year in England on January 18, when he discovered Cape Charlotte in New Georgia? But on consulting different volumes of the Annual Register I find that it had been usual for several years to keep the queen's birthday on that day. Under that date for 1763 we read that it "was celebrated at court as her majesty's birthday, in order to give people in trade the better opportunity of benefiting by the great expense usual on these occasions." In 1765 it is stated that January 18 was observed as usual as her majesty's birthday, for the encouragement of trade." Similar notes of its observance on that day occur in 1771 and 1772, the latter of which Cook would doubtless remember, as he did not set sail from England on his second voyage until June 13 in that year.

of Pastor Du Bourdieu are interesting :

"A great-grandson of Du Bourdieu, Capt. Saumarez Dubourdieu, was an officer in the British Army at the capture of Martinique from the French in 1762, and received the sword of the French commandant, who said on presenting it, 'My misfortune is the lighter, as I am conquered by a Dubourdieu, a beloved relative. My name is Dubourdieu !'"-Note, p. 312. From this it may be inferred that a branch of the family flourished in France after the Revocation. The second story is as follows:

French congregation having become greatly decreased, by deaths as well as intermarriages with Irish families, the chapel was at length closed-it is now used as the having joined the Established Church, he was presented court-house of Lisburnt-and the pastor Dubourdieu with the living of Lambeg. His son, rector of Annahelt, county Down, was the author of 'A Statistical Survey of the County Antrim,' published in 1812."-Note, p. 365. ROBERT F. GARDINER.

'THE GOLDEN LEGEND' (7th S. iii. 476). The Pope who excommunicated the forgers of false miracles and the inventors of visions and prohibited their use by preachers was Leo X., in the eleventh session of the Lateran Council of 1516 (Hard., Conc.,' t. ix. col. 1806, sq.). Melchior Canus, A.D. 1523-1560, made bishop of the Canary Islands in 1552, and one of those who were summoned to the Council of Trent by Paul III., writes of the 'Legenda Aurea' to this effect

I am not aware of the passage in Dr. Milner's writings to which ANON. refers; but in his Historical and Critical Inquiry into the Existence and Character of St. George,' London, 1792, pp. 23, 24, there is this in the text, referring to the "famous author of the Golden Legend,' who died in 1298":

"It is true this legend being once set on was soon adopted by other writers of equal judgment, and of the same turn of mind as Voragine."

While in the note there is a reference to Baronius, who writes:

"In nullis enim, quæ recensuimus, S. Georgii actis antiquis quicquam ejusmodi legitur, sed a Jacobo de Voragine, absque aliqua majorum auctoritate ea ad historiam referuntur. Baronius, 'Mart. Rom.,' ad April, 23, p. 156, Par., 1607.

ED. MARSHALL.

Is this the passage to which ANON. refers? It occurs in letter xxiv. of the 'End of Religious Controversy ':

"I agree with him and you in rejecting the 'Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Voragine, the Speculum' of Vicentius Belluacensis, the 'Saints' Lives' of the Patrician Metaphrastes, and scores of similar legends." In a foot-note:

"Pope Gelasius in the fifth century condemned several apocryphal Gospels, as also several false legends of Saints, and among the latter the common ones of St. George.'

CROWNATION (7th S. iii. 516).—It is not clear whether Macaulay was referring to the spelling

crownation, or only to the solecism of writing I for me. It cannot be correct to say that crownation is "formed according to the analogy of starvation," for starvation is a late-formed hybrid word; if not actually the coinage of Dundas himself, yet at any rate new to English ears in his day; while Queen Mary's crownation is much older, and merely a slightly modified Latin word. There seems no reason why crownation should not have existed alongside of coronation or coronacion in very early days. The 'Peterborough Chronicle' has coronan in A.D. 1111; the 'Ormulum' has the contracted form crune; Henry III., in his English proclamation, has "of ure cruninge" in 1258; the 'Promptorium Parvulorum' has corowne and crowne, corownere and crownere, coronacyon and corownynge. So we have coronet and crownet; and Minsheu later calls the Lord Chief Justice both coroner and crowner. In fact, the double forms long existed side by side. In somewhat like manner Chaucer has salvation and the 'Ancren Riwle' sauuation; and a form savation is mentioned by Prof. Earle. Halliwell, in his Dictionary,' quotes crownation, and it probably died away with crowner, crownet, spelling. It still exists in provincial dialects, as in as less refined than the more correct-looking Latin Sussex, and Mr. Peacock quotes an instance from Kirton-in-Lindsey Church accounts, A.D. 1638, in his Glossary of Words used in Manley and Corringham' (Dialect Society).

MAYPOLE CUSTOM (7th S. iii. 345, 462).—The use of holly in dressing the maypole recalls to my mind another use of the evergreen which may be worth noting. Up to the year 1854 the admission to the freelege of this borough was, among other things, by "going through the well," a pond about a hundred feet long by fifteen or sixteen wide, and three to five deep. On the day, April 25, a pole, surmounted with a large holly bush, was planted in front of the dwelling of each candidate. They were literally such, for on arriving at the well, about four miles off, they stripped and dressed in white, with caps ornamented with silk ribbons, for the muddy plunge. Forty-six years ago I underwent the ordeal. The reforming spirit of the age put an end to it at the time named above; but it was the source of much innocent mirth.

FEMALE POETS (7th S. iii. 362, 502).-Your correspondent A. H. asks for particulars concerning Dame Joanne Kauley. I can furnish him with a few notes concerning a lady of this name, living at the time in question, and very likely identical with the poetess. A charter of John de Mowbray, dated at Melton Mowbray, the Wednesday (Meskerdy) after St. Lawrence, 39 Edw. III. (Aug. 13, 1365), makes a grant to Joan Cauleye for bringing
