On the Word "raised,” as used by the Americans (Vol. iv., p. 83.). - MR. JAMES CORNISH is mistaken in saying that " an American, in answer to an inquiry as to the place of his birth, says, 'I was raised in New York," &c. Some Americans use the word raised instead of brought up; none use it in the sense of born. The very example given by MR. CORNISH from Franklin's letter shows it is thus used. He says that more children are raised, owing to every mother's suckling her own children. Children are suckled nowhere before they are born. Philadelphia. UNEDA. Waller's Handwriting (Vol. vi., pp. 292. 374.). -I send you herewith a tracing of the initials of Waller, as they appear in an exceedingly rare book in my collection, viz. the editio princeps of the Lusiad of Camoens, printed in 1572. As Waller was a court poet in 1662, when Catharine of Braganza arrived in England, it is not improbable that he might owe the possession of this volume to the kindness of the queen. For the volume the late Mr. Heber gave 25l., and after his sale it became mine at a sum of about half that amount. JOHN ADAMSON. Newcastle on Tyne. Shakspeare Emendations (Vol. vi., p. 135.).— Outrecuidance is a single word, and would make a good climax to "insult and excite" [query, insult, exult ?]: "Who might be your mother, that you insult, exult-à l'outrecuidance-over the wretched?" As You Like It, Act III. Sc. 5. C. FORBES. Temple. The Salt Box, a College Examination (Vol. v., pp. 54, 137.). This admirable jeu d'esprit was written by Francis Hopkinson, Esq., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey, afterwards Judge of the Court of Admiralty. He was the author of the humorous piece on House-cleaning, sometimes ascribed to Franklin. His works, in three octavo volumes, were published forty or fifty years ago, and contain "The Salt Box." UNEDA. Philadelphia. coin referred to by your correspondent J. N. C. is Connecticut Halfpenny (Vol. iv., p. 424.).—The a Connecticut cent or penny. The head on the obverse is a fancy piece, bearing an olive crown, and having the breast and shoulders clothed in ancient armour. The inscription is, “Auctorit Connect."-the colon after the first word showing it to be a contraction probably for "Auctoritate," by the authority of. No individual can be called the founder of Connecticut. The motto on the reverse is "Inde. et Lib.," meaning "Independence and Liberty." The dates of the two now before me are 1787. I do not believe that any were UNEDA. issued so early as 1781. Philadelphia. Chadderton's Arms (Vol. vi., p. 273.).- There seems to be some mistake in the account of Chad derton's arms given as above. The usual blazoning is-Gules, a cross potent crossed or, for Chadderton; argent, a chevron gules between three nuthooks sable (not z's) for Nuthurst. (See Corry's Lancashire, vol. ii. pp. 549, 550. 600.; and Gregson's Fragments, p. 189.) If the inquirer have access to the Chetham Society's publications, he may see both coats, as quarterings of Chetham, stamped on the back of each volume. P. P. Taliesin's Mabinogi (Vol. vi., p. 370.). - Your correspondent I. J. H. H. refers H. T. H. to the story of Taliesin for some intimations about the salmon fisheries of Wales. He speaks of it as if it were authentic, and of the sixth century. As mistakes on these points must seriously impair the worth of such a reference, I beg to say that it is as well established as any fact can be, that the Ma binogi of Taliesin is a pure fiction; and it is ascribed to Thomas ab Einion, who flourished about A.D. 1260. He was perhaps the author of the finished story; but we can discern traces of it in the poems of the preceding hundred years, and that is undoubtedly the greatest antiquity that can be ascribed to the tale. Mr. Stephens has been careful to indicate the real character of the story in his excellent work on The Literature of the Kymry, to which your correspondent refers. B. B. WOODWARD. St. John's Wood. Roman (or British) Road in Berkshire (Vol. vi., pp. 271. 328.).—If MR. HODGES were to inspect the continuation, near the White Horse, of the road he mentions, he would, I think, agree with me that it is a British, not a Roman road. It is much wider than Roman ways usually are; its direction is very curved, Roman ways being usually straight; and, finally, it has many British remains near it, as the Cromlech, called Wayland Smith's Cave, and several barrows: perhaps some of the camps near it are British. It is called by the country people the Ridgeway; but there is a Roman road about a mile and a half north of it (at the White Horse) called the Portway: the latter runs in the valley through Wantage to Wallingford, while the Ridgeway follows the curve of the summit of the chalk hills to Streatley. I doubt much if it have any connexion with Grymes Dyke or Grimsditch. E. G. R. Phonetic Spelling (Vol. vi., p. 357.).—I hardly know whether MR. S. SIMPSON will consider it as any answer to his question to be reminded that in the year 1701 a work on Practical Phonography was published by a Dr. Jones. An amusing account of it is to be found in Beloe's Anecdotes, vol. vi. p. 360. A few words with an improved method of spelling-or, as the author has it, "speling"-are cited: Have the modern phonographists ever owned their debt of gratitude to their predecessors in the HERMES. phonetic art? Ancient Popular Stories (Vol. vi., p. 189.).—In the Gesta Romanorum is a tale about the Emperor Domitian very similar to the Cornish story told by MR. KING. The three maxims there given are, 1. "Never begin aught until you have calculated the end thereof:" 2. "Never leave a highway for a by-way:" 3. "Never sleep in the house where the master is old and the wife young." The translation and moral of the story may be found in Evenings with the old Story Tellers, published by Burns in 1845, in which work it is said to resemble the Turkish tale of "The King, the Sofi, and the Surgeon; so that its origin is probably eastern. J. R. M., M.A. The Bride's Seat in Church (Vol. vi., p. 246.). -In Surtees' History of Durham, vol. ii. p. 144., are extracts of a very curious kind from the parish books of Chester-le-Street. The following quotation, with Surtees' remarks, will answer K.'s Query: "1612, 27 May. The churchwardens meeting together for seekeing for workmen to mak a fitt seete in a convennent place for brydgrumes, bryds, and sike wyves to sit in iis." Surtees' Note." It is plain that at this period the privilege of a separate pew was confined to persons of the first rank. The rest sat promiscuously on forms in May I venture the Query: To what sermons do "the Bride's Bush" and "The Wedding Garment beautified" refer? and where may they be met with? J. R. M., M.A. Man in the Moon (Vol. vi., p. 182.).—I extract the following note from a work on Northern Traditions and Folk Lore, published by Lumley of Holborn, in which a great variety of interesting matter on Scandinavian, German, and Low Country superstitions is collected : "The Swedes see (in the moon) children carrying water in a bucket; others a man with a dog; some a man with a bundle of brushwood, for having stolen which on a Sunday, he was condemned to figure in the moon." The Man in the Moon is alluded to by Chaucer and Shakspeare: "Her (lady Sinthia's) gite was gray and full of spottés blake, And on her brest a chorl painted full even, Bearing a bushe of thornés on his bake, And also in Troilus, book i. stanza 147.: In Ritson's Ancient Songs (ed. 1829, vol. i. p. 68.) there is one on the Man in the Moon, in the introduction to which he quotes the Book of NumFor oriental and other traditions, see Grimm, D.M., bers xv. 32. et seq. as the origin of the tradition. p. 679. J. R. M., M.A. Lady Day and Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Vol. vi., p. 350.).— Your correspondent P. A. F. is surely wrong in saying that the Visitation, Nativity, and Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary are yearly celebrated in the Protestant (English) Church. These days, indeed, are marked in the Calendar for the reasons given by Wheatly, On the Common Prayer, p. 54., Oxford edit. 1839. No day is appointed by the original, and I have never had any reason to suspect them of being a plagiarism. English Church to be celebrated or kept holy, except those for which a special collect, epistle, and gospel is provided. W. H. G. I send you herewith the number of that brilliant, but, alas! extinct publication, which conRumoured discovery in Coll (Vol. vi., p. 221.).—tains the lines (p. 5.). THE QUONDAM EDITOR. There is little doubt that this was a hoax, which was first published more than twenty years agonisters of religion in every country and age have Bibere Papaliter (Vol. vi., p. 316.).—The_miin some Edinburgh paper or magazine. Ŵ. C. TREVELYAN. were Whipping of Women at Worcester (Vol. vi., pp. 174. 281. 327.).. Men and women whipped promiscuously at Worcester till the close of the last century, as may be seen by the corporation records. Male and female " rogues were whipped at a charge of 4d. each for the whip's-man. In 1680 there is a charge of 4d. "for whipping a wench;" in 1742, 1s. "for whipping John Williams, and exposing Joyce Powell." In 1759, "for whipping Eliz. Bradbury, 2s. 6d.," probably including the cost of the hire of the cart, which was usually charged 1s. 6d. separately. J. NOAKE. Earl of Winnal (Vol. vi., p. 314.).-F. L. is referred to an interesting paper by Mr. Planché on the monument in Winchester Cathedral, on which he seeks information, in the Journal of the Archeological Association, vol. i. p. 216. Probably he did not see the stone, once a part of this monument, but now attached to the eastern wall of the church in the Portland Chapel, on which the illustrious achievements of this unknown knight are displayed on a series of shields. W. H. G. Robert Stanser, second Bishop of Nova Scotia (Vol. vi., p. 149.).— He obtained the degree of LL.B. from St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1789. He died at Hampton, Jan. 23, 1829, aged sixty-eight. See Gentleman's Magazine, vol. xcix. part i. p. 272., for a short memorial of him. Dublin. TYRO. "Caudam deme volat" (Vol. vi., p. 316.).—The lines "Caudam deme volat," &c., appeared in a miniature monthly periodical concocted by the boys of the Preston Grammar School, and called The Scholar. They were put into my hands as been popularly accounted bon-vivants. Horace, "Absumet hæres Cæcuba dignior Pontificum potiore cœnis."- Carm. 11. xiv. Dutensiana (Vol. vi., p. 292.).-A short notice Possession is nine Points of the Law (Vol. iv., p. 23.).—It is said that nine things are requisite to the man that goes to law: 1. A good deal of money. 2. A good deal of patience. 3. A good cause. 4. A good attorney. 5. Good counsel. 6. Good evidence. 7. A good jury. 8. A good judge. 9. Good luck. Has this any connexion with the saying: "Possession is nine points of the law?" HENRY H. BREEN. St. Lucia. Mémoires d'une Contemporaine (Vol. vi., p. 75.). The authoress of this work was a German lady named Elzelina Van Aylde Jonche. She married Count Saint-Elme or Saint-Edme; became celebrated as a courtesan, by the name of Ida Saintdied at Bruxelles, where she was buried as Ida Elme; was employed by Napoleon as a spy, and Versfelt. Besides the well-known Mémoires, she was the authoress of several works on cotem porary personages and events. (See Quérard's St. Lucia. Was William Penn ever a Slaveholder? (Vol. vi., James Logan, his secrep. 160.).—Yes, he was. tary, in a letter written to Penn's widow, dated 11th of 3rd Month (May), 1721, tells her that Penn left a will with him, manumitting all his negroes. Logan mentions Sam, James, Chevalier, and Sue: the last named, he says, was claimed by Penn's daughter Lætitia as her own property.-(See Janney's Life of Penn, p. 424.: Philadelphia, 1852.)

The document forwarded by our Correspondent is certainly not a genuine one; and we are surprised that it should have been printed as genuine in a work issued by any respectable firm. FRANCISCUS has, we think, mistaken the spirit of L. J.'s com. munication; and a second perusal will, we have no doubt, convince him, that when L. J. contents himself with expressing his belief of certain facts, the reasons which he adduces for such belief would have justified him in assuming a more dogmatic tone. That the first issue, at least, of the first edition of Junius's Letters (if not the entire edition) was without an Index, L. J. has, as it seems to us, clearly established. The discovery and subsequent sale of an edition found in Mr. G. Woodfall's warehouses is a fact well known to the second-hand booksellers. HEAP BOOKS.

Newgate Street, City. PHOTOGRAPHY. The great interest which this subject is exciting among so many of our Readers increases our regret at being com pelled to postpone DR. DIAMOND's article on the Talbotype and Wax Paper Processes until next week. ARCHER'S PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA. We have just received from Mr. Brown a letter, from which the following is an extract: "That camera was originally designed by Mr. Archer, some six or seven years back; and although the present camera, as sold by Mr. Archer, has several improvements in it of mine, and which no one has more kindly acknowledged than Mr. Archer, still they are all improvements in detail, and have nothing to do with the originality of it, which solely belongs to Mr. Archer." We have inserted this, in justice to all parties, to Mr. Archer, as the original inventor; to Mr. Brown, as one whose “improvements in detail" rendered it available for the collodion process (for Mr. Brown, while properly anxious to give to Mr. Archer Dr. every credit, does not contradict this assertion); and to Diamond, as confirmatory of his statement in our last Number, p. 396., that this camera was " 'first suggested by Mr. Archer, and eventually rendered available by Mr. Brown.” PURSUITS OF LITERATURE.

We have to correct some errors in our Reply to J. W. in last week's No. (p. 391.). The Queen's Remembrancer's Records, from the earliest period, viz. Henry III. to 1828, are at Carlton Ride, as well as the Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer's Records for the same period, which last are very numerous.

"In answer to your inquiries respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for Pump Suctions, I find that the water has not affected it in the least, although it will eat lead through in two years; we have adopted it largely on account of being cheaper than lead, much easier fixed, and a more perfect job.
