Catalogue now ascribes the pseudonym of "Mary Pelham" to Dorothy Kilner (who was she ?). Unfortunately, the Museum has not sufficient editions to enable me to investigate the question as to whether " Mary " is the same as " M." Pelham (see 3 S. xii. 394). I have looked at ' The Parents' and Tutors' First Catechism,' by M. Pelham, author of ' The London Primer,' London, printed for Richard Phillips [1800?]. On the title the initial M. only is given. I cannot find ' The London Primer ' in the National Library Catalogue.

Other examples of pseudogyns are : Sarah Search, 1855 [i.e. Frederick Nolan (1784-1864), author of ' An Introduction to Chaldee Grammar,' 1821 : see H. p. 117, and 'M.E.B.']. Talabot (la Vicomtesse Eugenie de) [Alexis Eymery]. Clara Gazul [Prosper Merimee].
 * Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister,' by

Pseudoinitialism. False initials, or not the initials of the author's name.

Examples : Z. [J. Mar. Deschamps]. Z. [Hannah More]. See also Major A***** under pseudotitlonym.

Pseudonym. A false or assumed name. G. Peignot (' Dictionnaire,' i. 136) says that sometimes pseudonyms are distinguished into allonyms or heteronyms and even cryptonyms. All these qualifications come to much about the same thing. But we can see by each word the difference there is between them.

Pseudoprenonym. Example : Theophile [M. P. Dutoit Membrini], 1764. Theophile is not one of the author's forenames.

Pseudotitlonym (see titlonym). False quality or title.

Examples : ' The Citizen of the World, or Letters from a Chinese Philosopher,' 1762 [Oliver Goldsmith : H. p. 3].

' Letters on the History of England,' from a nobleman [Oliver Goldsmith] to his son, 1764.

Major A*****, intended to designate Major Aubrey, a great whist player, but used by C. B. Coles : see H. p. 1, and Boase, ' M.E.B.,' vol. iv. col. 712.

'Tales of the Genii,' by Sir Charles Morrell [by Rev. James Ridley, see H. p. 59 : see also Lord Dundreary, H. p. 45].

' The Life of Hannah More,' by the Rev. Sir Archibald Macsarcasm, 1802 [W. Shaw, Rector of Chelvy, died 1831 : see H. p.*86].3 Un vieux soldat [A. Desjobet].

INSCRIPTIONS FROM KINGSTON, JAMAICA.

THE following abstract of monumental'

inscriptions in one of the oldest Jewish.

burial-grounds in Kingston, Jamaica, may

be of sufficient interest for insertion in

N. & Q.'

The inscriptions were collected by me- before the great earthquake of 14 Jan., 1907, and possibly some of the monuments in the cemetery, which is situated at the south-east corner of North and Church Streets, may have been destroyed on that day. I cannot be certain of this, as I have. not since visited the cemetery.
