appearance above described. I then heard, for the first time, that the appearance of a person's " life-star " at the moment of his dissolution is reputed to be not very un- common, though, naturally, observations of such occurrences are not so frequent as those of others more popularly known as portents or accompaniments of death. Is the " life-star " known to any of your readers ? and, if so, is this instance of folk- lore confined to the Midlands, where I heard its narration ? W. B. H.

ANDREW MARVELL. Can any one inter- ested in the history of the Marvells give me the following piece of information ? Andrew had three sisters, viz., Anne, Mary, and Elizabeth. Each of them married, and the names of their husbands are given by Mr. Birrell in his 'Andrew Marvell ' ("English Men of Letters "). But Andrew had also a stepsister, and of course a stepmother, his father having married a second time in 1638. Now, what was the surname of the step- sister, and did she marry ? if so, whom ? I do not find the name of either stepmother or stepdaughter given in Mr. Birrell's ' Life.' H. S. S. CLARKE.

HEENVLIET AND LORD WOTTON'S DAUGHTER. Katherine, daughter of Thomas, Lord Wotton, married, as her second husband, the Dutch ambassador Heenvliet (1594-1660). As they could not have met before 1639, and as they were married by May, 1642, the date of their union is narrowed to some three years ; but in spite of the ' D.N.B.' I can obtain no actual proof of time or place. Possibly it may be found amongst the Rawlinson papers in the Bodleian, which deal largely with these people ; but they are not acces- sible to me. I shall be glad to learn the date and place of the marriage.

PEOPLE TO BE AVOIDED OR CULTIVATED. Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' tell me where to find something like the following ? There are four kinds of people, three of which are to be avoided and the fourth cultivated : those who don't know that they don't know ; those who know that they don't know ; those who don't know that they know ; and those who know that they know. Of course these are not the exact words ; but they may be sufficient to identify the quota- tion. I have no clue myself to the author. EDWARD LATHAM.

I cannot find the last volume of ' The Bride of Lammermoor.'

I give also the names of the illustrators of some of the volumes in the edition of Constable, and of Hurst & Robinson, 1823 ; but the edition before me is not complete :

'Black Dwarf,' 'Old Mortality,' 'Bride of Lammermoor,' ' Legend of Montrose.' C. R. Leslie.

' Monastery.' W. Brockedon.

' Abbot.' H. Howard, R.A., A. Cooper.

' Fortunes of Nigel.' Cooper, Wright, Nasmyth.

' Peveril of the Peak.' Wright, Nasmyth.

' Quentin Durward.' Wright, W. Brocke- don, Nasmyth. E. YARDLEY.

Few novels have been more magnificently produced than the " Abbotsford " ' Waver- ley,' published in 12 vols., 1842-7, which, according to Cadell's ' Catalogue of the Various Editions of the Works of Sir Walter Scott ' (1847), now before me, contains 120 steel engravings and 2,050 woodcuts. The list of illustrations prefixed to each volume gives the % names of the artists and engravers. The engravings on steel are particularly fine, consisting of landscapes after Clarkson Stanfield, Allom, and others, and a series of portraits (from Lodge) of historical per- sonages appearing in the novels, engraved by G. B. Shaw. Some of the woodcuts were afterwards published in Black's cheap editions of the Waverley Novels. The catalogue refers to two illustrated editions published previously : one in 48 vols., 8vo
