Corfu. Can any contributor of *N. & Q. verify this point for me, and say whether any stone marks the spot where she lie buried ? M. B. F.

[Many interesting particulars about Dr. Barry will be found at 9 th S. vii. 448, 516 ; viii. 108. The ' D.N.B.' states specifically : " She died in London at 14, Margaret Street, on 25 July, 1865, and an official report was immediately sent to the Horse Guards that Dr. James Barry, the late senior inspector-general, was a woman." Among the authorities for the article is The Times. 26 July, 1865]

WINDSOR CASTLE SENTRY. Could any oi your readers inform me where the story is to be found of the sentry who was being con- demned for sleeping at his post, and who saved himself by stating that he had heard St. Paul's strike thirteen instead of twelve? I believe that in The Gentleman's Magazine, somewhere in the eighteenth century, there is a note on the death of this sentry.

W. E. DARWIN.

[GENERAL GIBBES RIGAUD stated at 5 th S. ix. 156 that the sentry was John Hatn'eld, and that he died on 18 June, 1772, aged 102. MR. MACKENZIE WALCOTT the next week supplemented this infor- mation by saying that the story of the sentinel appeared in The Public Advertiser, Friday, 22 June, 1770.]

called ' Patience,' the first words of which are " The hands are such dear hands " ?
 * PATIENCE.' Where can I find the lines

THOMAS COOPER. Did Thomas Cooper, the Chartist, use the pseudonym of "Adam Hornbook"? I believe a two- volume novel, entitled 'Alderman Ralph,' published under the forementioned pseudonym, is usually attributed to him. Can any of your con- tributors confirm this ? A. Pv. C.

JOHN NORMAN, OF BIDEFORD, was a Non- conformist divine, who can be traced from Bideford in 1703 unto Portsmouth in 1756, when his chief work, 'Lay Nonconformity Justified,' had reached an eighth edition. He engaged in printed controversy with Ward and Lowth, of the Church, and with Fancourt, a Nonconformist. Inquiry has long been made unsuccessfully concerning his birthplace, parentage, and family life by one who is actuated solely by genealogical motives. J. K. FuzNoRMAj*.

GEORGE BORROW : ' THE TURKISH JESTER.' Can any expert in the bibliography of George Borrow afford information about the following book? 'The Turkish Jester; or,

the Pleasantries of Cogia Nasr Eddin Effendi. Translated from the Turkish by George Borrow. Ipswich : W. Webber, Dial Lane, 1884." 12mo, 52 pages, 150 copies printed.

It is noted in Knapp's biography of Borrow as having been printed for the first time in 1884. If so, it came out three years after Borrow's death. If it was really his, one can understand why he did not bring it out himself, for it is rather coarse and indelicate stuff. BORROVIAN.

[A long article on this booklet appeared 9 th S. viii. 437 from the pen of L. L. K., who did not cast doubt on the attribution to Borrow.]

LUTHER'S ' COMMENTARY ON THE GALA- TIANS.' I have recently seen a book entitled :

"A Commentarie of M. Doctor Martin Luther upon the Epistle of S. Paule to the Galatians, first collected and gathered word by word out of his preaching, and now out of Latine faithfully trans- lated into English for the unlearned."

With a foot-note that it was

" Diligently revised, corrected, and newly im- printed againe by Thomas Vautroullier, dwelling within the Blackefriers by Ludgate. 1588."

Inside the cover a pencil note says, " First English edition : very rare." Is this so ?

J. L. W.

[The first edition of the English translation appeared in 1575. Other editions followed in 1576, 1577, 1580, 1588, 1616, 1640, &c. A copy of the 1616 edition, from the library of Bacon, has fetched a large sum, but books from Bacon's library are very scarce, and bring high prices.]

THE AUTHOR OF 'THEALMA AND

CLEARCHUS.' (10 th S. iii. 186.)

MR. GORDON GOODWIN may be glad to earn that, according to the 'Visitation of London, 1633-4' (Harl. Soc. Publ, xv. 115), Martin Browne, of London, gent., living anno 1634, third son of William Browne, of Joweth (Louth), co. Lincoln, married Mar- garet, daughter of "John" Chalkhill, of Jhalkhill, Middlesex, and had by her a daughter Rebecca, described as his only daughter and heir apparent. In the pedigree )f the family of Ken printed in Anderdon's Life of Thomas Ken,' ii. 828-9, this Martin Browne is styled "Surgeon, Alderman of London," and his wife Margaret is treated as daughter of "Ion" Chalkhill, of Kings- bury, Middlesex, by Martha, daughter of Thomas Browne, and as sister of Martha Chalkhill, who by her marriage with Thomas Ken, of Furnival's Inn, became mother of
