Sm MENASSEH MASSE Y LOPEZ, BT. (10 S ix. 508 ; x. 96). MB. SOLOMONS makes a mistake in stating that Mordecai Rodrigues Lopes became a Christian in 1802 with his son Manasseh, the future baronet. He diec a Jew in March, 1796, and his burial is recorded in the registers of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation at Bevis Marks as having taken place on " Domingo 26 Adar Reson 6556 " ; his wife Rebecca Pereira is buried next him, having died in May, 1795. Their two daughters Rachel, widow of Isaac Pereira (d. 1825), and Esther, wife of Abraham Franco (d. 1795) are buried near them in the same Carreira.

Picciotto in his ' Sketches of Anglo- Jewish History,' p. 304, mentioning the defection of the Lopes family in 1802, makes this same error regarding the elder Lopes.

Ralph Franco, who in 1831 succeeded his uncle and became the second baronet, was baptized at Shipbourne Church, near Ton- bridge, 17 May, 1801.

Possibly in his last days the same yearning came over Sir Manasseh Lopes as in the case of Sampson Gideon, who, after living apart from his people for many years, left a request that he should be buried with them at Mile End. T. COLYEB FEBGUSSON.

' KITTY FISHEB'S JIG ' : ' YANKEE DOODLE' (10 S. ix. 50, 98, 197, 236, 337, 471 ; x. 50). MB. ALBEBT MATTHEWS apparently confounds the words with the tune of ' Yankee Doodle.' My immediate concern was with the tune or melody, and I have absolutely no interest in the origin of the verses. For proof of the identity of


 * This appears to be a misprint for J. Paman.

' Yankee Doodle ' with ' All the Way to Galway' I refer MB. MATTHEWS to The Dolphin (Philadelphia) for August, 1905, in which I print both airs, which are prac- tically identical. The Irish characteristics in the oldest printed setting of the air are unmistakable.

2. I am not aware that Dr. Richard Shuckburgh was in America in 1755. If he went over with General Abercrombie, he cannot have reached America till June, 1756. Hence I would conclude that the adaptation of the song was not prior to 1756, though possibly 1755 may be the correct date.

3. MB. MATTHEWS makes a point of my putting " published " for " sold by." He admits that * The Disappointment ' was printed in 1767, and so agrees with me. The name of the author is printed " Andrew Barton," and as against MB. MATTHEWS, who says that the play was " probably not written" by Barton, but by Col. Thomas Forrest, I can quote an excellent authority, Mr. O. G. Sonneck, of the Library of Con- gress. Mr. Sonneck says : " The arguments in favour of Forrest's authorship are not at all convincing, and I advise librarians to enter the libretto under Barton."

4. I repeat my statement that ' Kitty Fisher's Jig,' with the " Macaroni " refer- ence, was likely between 1755 and 1760, when Macaronis were in vogue.

5. If MB. MATTHEWS is of a musical turn, iet him compare ' Yankee Doodle ' with ' All the Way to Galway.' He will find the latter tune printed in 'The Complete Petrie Collection,' ii. No. 849. So convinced was I of the identity of both tunes that I stated without question the Irish origin of
