the Irish Brigades in the Service of France,' by J. C. O'Callaghan (Glasgow, Cameron & Ferguson, 1870). HENRY GERALD HOPE. 119, Elms Road, Clapham, S.W.

In the ' Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters ' it is related that in the year 1247

" a great war was kindled by Turlough, the son of Hugh O'Conor, and Donough, the son of Amnchadh O'Gillapatrick of Ossory, against the English o

Connaught Many persons were destroyed b

them, with MacElget (Mageoghegan calls him Mac Eligott), Seneschal of Connaught, who was killec by the aforesaid Donough, the son of Anmchadh.

It is also recorded

"that a family named Eligott, and probably th descendants of this seneschal, settled at Bally-Mac Eligott, near Tralee, in the county of Kerry, wher they were highly respectable till the close of the seventeenth century.

Some particulars of the family bearing this name during the eighteenth century will be found in 3 rd S. xi. 196 ; 5 th S. viii. 168.

EVERARD HOME COLEMAN. 71, Brecknock Road.

In the London Library copy of Wolseley's 4 Life of Maryborough,' on pp. 175, 199, 205 of vol. ii. there are some rather interesting MS. notes in pencil concerning this officer. Among other things it is mentioned that he was sent to the Tower with Lord Clancarty, and afterwards allowed to go to France. A manuscript in the Record Office is quoted, but no detailed description given of it.

PERIODICALS FOR WOMEN (10 th S. i. 228). Besides the Ladies' Magazine, dating from 1710, there was another Ladies Magazine, by Jasper Goodwill, of Oxford, which first appeared in 1749 and ceased in 1753. Then there were the Ladies' Mercury (London, 1693); the Female Taller (Lond., 1709) ; the Female Spectator (Lond., 1745) ; the Court Magazine and Monthly Critic and Ladies' Magazine and Museum of the Belles Lettres, first published in 1756 ; the Ladies' New and Elegant Pocket Magazine (Lond., 1795) ; and the Ladies' Monthly Museum; or, Polite Repository of Amusement and Instruction (Lond., 1798). For all of these see under l Periodical Pub- lications ' in the Reading-room Catalogue of the British Museum Library, where there are probably others.

"PRIOR TO" (9 th S. xii. 66, 154, 312 : 10 th S. i. 114, 175). The grammar seems to be quite right in the sentence quoted by J. T. F. from Paley. " A propensity prior to experience " may be compared in construction with Ad-

dison's ' ' A great man superior to his suffer- ings." In one or two sentences quoted by MR. CURRY "prior to" was used elliptically for "at a time prior to." And, Ayhetner the ellipsis is allowable or not, prior in such cases may certainly be supposed to be an adjective. I could not, however, see any defence for some of the expressions ; and I agree with him that they were used wrongly.

BAGSHAW (10 th S. i. 9, 152). In my library there is a ' Gazetteer of Cheshire ' by Samuel Bagshaw : " Sheffield, printed for the Author by George Ridge, 5, King Street, and sold by Samuel Bagshaw, Wentworth Terrace, Shef- field. Price to Subscribers, 14s. 6d 1850." The preface is dated " Sheffield, January 21st, 1850." T. CANN HUGHES, M.A., F.S.A.

TOPOGRAPHY OF ANCIENT LONDON (9 th S. xii. 429; 10 th S. i. 70). The "jelusie" or "gelosye" circa 1277 was, no doubt, the " jalousie," a sort of Venetian blind, a varia- tion of the simple window-shutter of the Middle Ages, which, from being an unusual feature in domestic architecture, served well to distinguish the house which it adorned from the neighbouring house signs. The balcony at its first adoption in London served as a sign in a similar way, as did an " iron gate" or a "green hatch," die. "Jealous " is spelt "gelous" by Lydgate, the fifteenth- century poet (Halliwell). "Gelus" was the Middle-English form (Old French gelos\ as ' gelusie"(O. French gelosie) was of "jealousy" Stratmann's 'Midd. Eng. Diet.').

It is difficult to say where " Doggestrete " was. Possibly it was a street which led to ields, in which were kept the hounds for the amusement of the Lord Mayor (see Pennant's London,' 1793, p. 264). Or, as streets often lerived their names from house signs, it may lave been named after a tavern with the sign of the " Dog," of which there were at least /hree instances in London one in Holy \yell Street, another on Ludgate Hill, and a third, f uncertain locality, but near the Houses of 3 arliauient, which is mentioned by Pepys in us ' Diary.'

"The cemetery in London" could, one would have thought, be identified by the context, for the consecrated enclosure round any church was often called a cemetery : 1485, Caxton, 'Chas. Gt.,' 243, "Two cymytoryes or chircheyerdes." 1530-1, Act 22 Hen. VIII., c. 14, "Any parishe churche, Cimitorie, or other lyke halowed place" (' H.E.D.'). The date might also help to identify the
