JAMES INGRAM, PRESIDENT OF TRINITY COLLEGE, OXFORD. The ' D.N.B.,' xxix. 14, says " he was sent to Warminster School in 1785, and entered as a Commoner at Win- chester in 1790." The ' Index and Epitome of the D.N.B.' says that Ingram was educated at Westminster and Winchester. Is the latter statement a blunder or a correction

ZACHARY MOORE. I shall be much obligee for any information respecting Zachary Moore, who seems to have been a friend and associate (circa 1750) of such festive spirits as Foote, James Worsdale, and the Duke ol Hamilton. HORACE BLEACKLEY.

' THE MODERN SHIP OF FOOLS.' A satire in verse entitled ' The Modern Ship of Fools ' was published by William Miller of Albe- marle Street in 1807. Can any one tell me who was the author ?

DR. JOHNSON'S UNCLE HANGED. Which of Dr. Johnson's uncles was hanged ? Where did he su,ffer ? and what was the nature of his offence ? HORACE BLEACKLEY.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. I shall be glad to learn the author of these lines :

But when shall we lay the ghost of the brute That is walking and haunting us yet, and be free? In a hundred, a thousand winters?

Also the following, quoted by Dallas in ' The Gay Science,' vol. i. p. 283 : Man doth usurp all space, Stares thee in rock, bush, river, in the face. Never yet thine eye beheld a tree ; It is no sea thou seest in the sea ; Tis but a disguised humanity.

W. H. FLEMING. Philadelphia.

I am anxious to know where I can find the poem of which I subjoin two lines :

Can it be, O Christ in heaven, that the holiest

suffer most,

That the strongest wander furthest, and more hope- lessly are lost ?

MRS. MEYNELL. Meynell Langley, Derby.

['CasselPs Book of Quotations' states that the lines occur in 'Is it so, O Christ in Heaven ' bv Sarah Williams ("Saidie").]

MARGARET POLE, COUNTESS OF SALISBURY. Where can I obtain information as to the life of this lady, daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, brother of Edward IV., and

I formerly known as the Last of the Plan- tagenets ? The historical authorities of the period 1470-1540 are very scanty. Has any life been written of this lady ? E. S. S.

ETHELREDA, VISCOUNTESS TOWNSHEND. Where can I obtain further information about the life of this lady, who was daughter of Edward Harrison of Balls Park ? I know all that Horace Walpole says about her, and also the allusions to her in letters of George Selwyn and Lady Mary Montagu, and the various volumes published by the Hist. MSS. Commission. Is anything known of her early life ? I should be glad to correspond with any one who has or knows of any of her letters. E. S. S.

JAMES C. C. BELL. Can I get information concerning James Christian Clement Bell, who about sixty years ago married Jane Strangman Mead ?
