NOTES AND QUERIES. 333 Drake with the house called "The Bowls," and the bowling-green at Uhigwell; while " tradition," again, might easily mix up the name of Drake with this bowling-green through another famous sailor, Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey, K.G.C.. who distinguished himself in the battle of Trafalgar, having resided at Rolls Park, in this parish. Rolls Park was purchased by Eliab Harvey, ancestor of Sir Eliab, in the beginning of the seventeenth century. J. HOLDEN MACMlCHAEL. COUNTESS OP HUNTINGDON AT HIGHOATE (10th S. iv. 149).—If your correspondent has not already done so, I would suggest a search through the 'Life and Times of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon,' 1840, 2 vols. 8vo— a work of over 1,000 closely packed pages, which most of the big public libraries possess. Unfortunately the book, like many others, lacks a proper index, and my time is limited just at present, or I should be happy to search my copy of the work. W. JAGGAKD. 139, Canning Street, Liverpool. LOOPING THE LOOP : FLYING OR CENTRI- FUGAL RAILWAY : WHIRL OF DEATH (10th S. iv. 65,176).—There was a Centrifugal Railway in the Botanic Gardens, Liverpool (Everton district, I believe), when Blondin exhibited on the tight rope, probably about 1857. The car of the railway contained two persons. J. C. P. COL. PITT, 1711 (10th S. iv. 206).—Was he not John (d. 1744), the third son of Governor Thomas Pitt ("Diamond Pitt") and Jane Innes, and uncle of William Pitt, first Earl of Chatham ? A. R. BAYLEY. SUPPRESSION OF DUELLING IN ENGLAND (10th S. ii. 367, 435; iii. 16, 475). — A short essay on duelling may be found in Thomas Fuller's 'Holy State,1 book ii. chap. xix. sec. 7. It is part of the chapter on ' The good Souldier.' It begins :— " All single Duels he deteateth, as having no command in Gods word." Later it says :— " If slaying, he hazards his neck to the halter ; if slain, in heat of malice, without repentance, he adventures his soul to the devil." In the last paragraph Fuller writes :— " Ve may therefore conclude that the laws of Duelling, as the laws of drinking, had their original! from the devil; and therefore the de- clining of needlesae quarrels in our Souldier,* no abatement of Honour.'1—Edit. 1642, pp. 122-5.

AN EARLY LATIN-ENGLISH-BASQUE DIC- TIONARY (10th S. iv. 143, 255).—I feel bound to correct a pardonable mistake into which, MR. E. S. DODGSON fell when writing about the MS. of Joannes de Etcheverri, which I had the good fortune to discover at Zarauz. I went thither on purpose to see the MSS. of Aiiibarro, which were described by MR. DODGSON some years ago in the Revue de Linguistiyue, &nd which I hope will be pub- lished shortly. The mistake is, perhaps, due to the way in which I have stated the fact* of the case in my little brochure. The new acquisition will be published under my own
