 132 NOTES AND QUERIES, do* s. iv. A™. 12. is**. 1886, and I believe I also saw it on view a year or two afterwards at Whitecliapel. JOHN T. PAGE. West Haddon, Northamptonshire. •CORYAT'S CRUDITIES': ERROR IN 1905 EDITION (10th S. iv. 49).—The passage in question runs as follows in the original edition: "eyther with faire monuments, | or learned epitaphes. This Church was much amplified | and beautified by Carolus Mag- nus" ('Coryat's Crudities,' 1611, p. 379, wrongly numbered 377 ; the numbering 375- 376 occurs twice). EDWARD BENSLY. 23, Park Parade, Cambridge. [LADY RUSSELL also sends the words from the edition of 1776.] 4TH LIGHT DRAGOONS' UNIFORM (10th S. iv. 69).—In plates xxxi. to xxxv. in Lieut.-Col. J. Luard's ' History of the Dress of the British Soldier' will be found several illustrations of the uniform of the 4th Light Dragoons between 1808 and 1814. S. H. SIR JOHN HARRISON, OF BALLS PARK, HBRTS (10th S. iv. 68).—All the Harrison portraits passed into the Townshend family by marriage; many (if not all) were sold at the dispersal of the Townshend heirlooms at Christie's, 5 and 7 March, 1904. If there are any others they would probably be found at llaynham Hall, Norfolk, and an appli- cation to the present marquis might elicit some information. W. ROBERTS. "LOVE IN PHANTASTICK TRIUMPH SAT" (10th S. iv. 48).—This song is to be found in Arbor's 'British Anthologies,' No. vii. (the " Dryden " volume), p. 159, London, Frowde, 1899. P. JENNINGS. [It is given in Mr. Baker's introduction to the reprint just published of Mrs. Behn's novels.] 'STEER TO THE NOR'-NOR'-WEST' (10th S. ii. 427, 490 ; iii. 13, 172,436).—This story is to be found in 'Many Cargoes,' by W. W. Jacobs, p. 121, chapter entitled ' In Mid- Atlantic.' R. J. FYNMORE. GARIBALDI (10"' S. iv. 67).—In regard to the ancestry of Garibaldi, see 2ml S. ix. 424, 473, 494, 509, where it is discussed whether he was of Irish descent; 2ml S. x. 167, 304, where a Bavarian and Lombardian descent (dating back to 584 or 590) is suggested ; and ibid. 208, whore his father is given as " Garra- baldeh," an Iroquois chief in Lower Canada. It may be added that in the ' Calendar of Entries in the Papal Registers relating to Great Britain and Ireland,' issued from the Public Record Office (' Papal Letters,1 vol. i. A.D. 1198-1304, p. 130), one P. Garibaldi, the king's clerk, is named in a mandate of Gregory IX., in 1232, to inquire, in company with a London abbot and a London canon, into an ecclesiastical grievance. ALFRED F. ROBBINS. ROYAL OAK DAY (10th S. iii. 446; iv. 30).— It may be of interest to note that this day was duly kept in the array during the period1 of the Peninsular War. I quote from a letter written by the commanding officer of the 18th Hussars: "All the regiment wore oak branches in their fur caps in honour of ' Restoration ' or ' Oakapple' Day." HAROLD MALET, Colonel. It was, nearly fifty years ago, and may still be, the custom for village schoolboys in Cumberland to try the effect of the fol- lowing :— Yak-bob day, 29th o' May, If ye divn't gie us holiday, We '11 aw run away. MISTLETOE. HORSE-PEW=HORSE-BLOCK (10th S. iv. 27).— In connexion with DR. MURRAY'S most in- teresting note, some of your readers may like to be reminded that etymologists— or it were wiser to say. some etymologists— derive P«?/-de-D6me, Le Puy, and the like from the Latin jwdium. It is curious to note the relationship between them and a horse- block. ST. SWITHIN. I have no other books of reference at hand, but suppose that it may be worth remarking, as part of this interesting ques- tion, that in'the ' Pocket Dictionary ' of Cas- tilian and English, by Don Enrique Runge- (published in Barcelona and printed in Leipzig in 1899), one finds " Poyo, m. bench, made of stone and mortar." In the sixth edition of the 'Diccionario da Lingua Por- tugueza,' published in Lisboa by the Com- panhia Nacional Editora, the word " Pojo," on p. 565, is defined as " s.m. Ponto de desem- barque"—i.e., as a point for disembarking, or setting one's foot on land. That the word pew is derived ultimately from the Greek Troys, TroSos, seems to be a point at which few cannot alight in safety. EDWARD S. DODGSON. CRICKET : PICTURES AND ENGRAVINGS (10"* S. iv. 9).—In the July number of The Con- noisseur will be found an interesting article by Mr. Robin C. Baily on 'The Cricket Pic- tures at Lord's.' He reproduces from the precious collection of the M.C.C. the follow- ing : 'The Game of Cricket as played at the Artillery Ground, London, 1743,' by Francis
