 NOTES AND QUERIES. tio* s. i. MAY 21, im.

Architecture "(theopeningsectionof Barnard's 'Companion to English History ') in 1902.

C. S. WARD.

Mr. Galton would, of course, be best able to supply the list applied for by Miss M. (J. BOYLE ; but in lack of this more satisfactory method of information, I subjoin a brief bibliography of such of Mr. Gallon's works as are known to me :

' The Character and Times of Thomas Cromwell,' 1887, Cornish, Birmingham, 5s.

' Mathew Arnold,' 1897, Elkin Mathews, 3s. 6d.

' The Message and Position of the Church of Eng- land,' 1899, Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 3s. 6d.

'Rome and Romanizing: some Experiences and a Warning,' 1900, Skeffington & Son, Is

'The Catholicity of the Reformed Church of England.' 1901, Skeffington & Son, 6d.

' The Protestant ism of the Reformed and Catholic Church in England,' 1901, Skeffington & Son, Gd.

Also articles on political topics in National Review, and life-sketch in ' Roads from Home,' 1902, R.T.S., 2s. 6rf. J. B. McGovERN.

St. Stephen's Rectory, C.-on-M., Manchester.

MARK HILDESLEY (10 th S. i. 344). I suggest that MR. STEWART has overlooked some abbreviation marks in the inscription, and inserted some commas. In the ninth line of the lower fragment is it quite certain that the small word is in, and that there is a comma after it? Otherwise, I suggest ne without a comma. With meatus, datus, decoratus, beattts, the meaning seems plain.

F. P.

In the first and second lines of the epitaph read Maximus, not " Maxim ut " ; in the fif th and sixth if = that, not "y e ." The line which "appears hopeless" may possibly mean : " By which [migration] Lincoln's Inn is still further endowed [with distinction, or a legacy?]." E. S. DODGSON.

On p. 281 of 'Memoirs of Mark Hildes- ley, D.D., Lord Bishop of Sodor and Mann,' by the Rev. Weeden Butler, is the inscrip- tion, "on a free-stone upon the pavement of the chancel opposite the door " in the church of St. Margaret, Hemingford Abbats, to the memory of the bishop's great-uncle :

" Here lieth | John Hildesley, Esq., barrister at law. | He was the eldest son of Mark Hildesley, Esq. | of Kingston upon Thames, in the county of I Surry, | barrister at law ; | Grandson of Mark Hildesley, Esq. | lord mayor elect, and representa-

&SiLi th ? ~ city of London I died April the

^ 17ol, aged 70 years."

A note by the editor is inserted throwing doubt upon the statement that the grand- father represented the City, as his name does

not occur in any list of "members for London," nor in the various lists of sheriffs. Possibly the burial took place at Kingston.

ERNEST B. SAVAGE. St. Thomas, Douglas.

BYARD FAMILY (10 th S. i. 348). Inquiries were made for a family of this name so long ago as May, 1859 (2 nd S. vii. 436). The reply (p. 506) referred to Capt. Sir Thomas Byard, and George and Leonard, of the parish of Owstou, co. York. Should this reference be considered of any value by your corre- spondent, I will send him a MS. copy of it.

The Rev. Frank Byard is the vicar of Dalton-in-Furness.

CHAS. F. FORSHAW, LL D.

MINIATURE OF SIR ISAAC NEWTON (10 th S. i. 248, 315, 355). I am deeply indebted to DR. FORSHAW for directing attention to rny egregious error, which I am unable to explain. On referring to the Transactions of the Royal Society (London) for the year 1699 I find the name of Newton as that of one of the eight Foreign Associates of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, founded in 1666, and abolished by the National Con- vention in 1793.

EVERARD HOME COLEMAN.

I regret I am unable to give any history of the miniature, as I purchased it from a dealer who had bought it at a sale; but there can be no doubt of its being genuine. The date of the inscription is clearly 1703, en- graved on the silver back of the frame, which is beautiful work of early eighteenth-century date. Possibly, although dated 1703, in com- memoration of Sir Isaac Newton having been elected President of the Royal Society in that year, the miniature may have been painted after he was knighted in 1705.

LINKS WITH THE PAST (10 th S. i. 325). An instance of longevity in the family of Sir Rowland Hill eclipses the case mentioned by HELGA. My great-grand-uncle, John Hill, was born in 1719 (served as a volunteer in " the '45 " against the Jacobites), and died in 1810, aged ninety-one. His grand-nephew, my uncle Frederic Hill, was born in 1803, and died in 1896, aged ninety-three. The span of years bridged by these two long lives is therefore not far off two centuries, or 177 years. ELEANOR C. SMYTH.

The Spectator recently had a large number of these in its columns. It may be of some
