FROST PRINTS. Will some collector of these interesting records of the Frost Fairs on the Thames inform me if a print of the Frost Fair of 1739/40 with the following inscription exists ?

A Prospect of | Frost Fair | Drawn Feby. 11. 1739.40.

The bleak north-east from rough Tartarian Shores Oer Europe's Realms its freezing Rigour pours, Stagnates the flowing Blood in Human veins, And binds the Silver Thames in Icy Chains : Their usual courses Rivulets refrain, And every Pond appears a Glassy Plain. Streets now appear, v/here Water was before, And thousands daily walk from Shore to Shore.

I am familiar with the Grace Collection and Andrews' s ' Famous Frosts and Frost Fairs ' : it is apparently not mentioned in either. Still more remarkable, it did not occur in the sale of Dr. Wellesly's prints (Sotheby's, July, 1853).

ALECK ABRAHAMS.

MAJOR-GENERAL EDWARD FAGE. Who were the father and mother of this distin- guished officer ? He died at Greenwich, 2 Sept., 1809, having been Colonel Com- mandant (1808) and Inspector of the Royal Carriage Department, 1803-5. His first commission, as second lieutenant, is dated 9 Dec., 1768.

THE MAID OF THE MILL. This village beauty, immortalized in song, was a real personage. Her name was Mary Iredale, and her home " The Black Horse Inn," to which a water-mill was attached, on the outskirts of Baldock in Hertfordshire. She married Henry Lemard, and died on 26 April, 1769, aged forty- three ; but the headstone to her memory, seen by Edward Fitz Gerald in 1857, has disappeared.

I am anxious to ascertain whether any authentic portrait of the Maid exists. ] have tried a number of sources without success. W. B. GERISH.

Bishop's Stortford.

MARTIN LUTHER PICTURES. Would any reader tell me where I can find a picture of Martin Luther ? that is, not a mere portrait. I fancy there is one of him before the Diet of Worms. F. H. SUCKLING.

Romsey, Hants.

EDWARD MORRIS, M.P. Edward Morris, elected in 1803 M.P. for Newport (Launces-

on), a seat long under the control of the Vtorices of Werrington, dramatist (see Brit. Mus. Catalogue), barrister of the Inner Temple, Master in Chancery, and son-in-law of the first Lord Erskine, was the fourth son of Michael Morris of Parliament Street, Westminster, doctor of medicine. To which

f the numerous Morris families did Edward and Michael belong ? M.
