sound, and appeals to disciples of the Master. It would be interesting to learn something concerning this series of articles and their authorship. Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' supply information ?

The American cutting is headed " From our own Correspondent Heart of Old Eng- land, Wednesday, August 27, 1867." "My route to the great Musical Festival at Bir- mingham has taken me into the sweet heart of England," it begins. The writer then proceeds to describe Oxford and its Univer- sity ; makes some allusion to " commercial- room ' ' gossip in the ancient city regarding Queen Victoria, John Brown, and the Prince of Wales ; and concludes with an avowal of " pride of ancestry in this country, and a hearty happiness in everything I see in it that is grand and beautiful." The article is signed "Monadnock." Who is the Ame- rican writer probably a friend of the Ruskins who used this pseudonym ?

J. GBIGOB.

105, Choumert Road, Peckham.

GEORGE FITZBOY, DUKE OF NORTHUM- BERLAND, AND HIS DUCHESS. What was the maiden name of the wife of George Fitzroy, Duke of Northumberland ? Was he married twice ? Or is the one referred to in a letter of Lady Mary Wortley Montague to the Countess of Pomfret in 1738 the same as the one referred to in the Seventh Report of the Hist. MSS. Commission as having been " shipt away to a Nunnery," under date 24 March, 1685/6 and by Evelyn in his ' Diary ' ? F. F. LAMBABDE, Capt.

Shipgate Street, Chester.

FLEMING. Anne, daughter of Sir John Fleming, married, circa James II., William Phibbs, of Abbeyville, co. Roscommon. Was this Sir John the grandson of Wilh'am, Lord Slane, and the son of James Fleming by Bridget Barnewall ? (Lodge's ' Peerage of Ireland,' ed. 1789, vol. v. p. 48.)

LLOYD AND FITZGEBALD. Owen Lloyd of Wrexham, co. Roscommon, " a captain in the army," married, circa Charles I., Elizabeth FitzGerald, " a granddaughter of Sir Luke FitzGerald," according to Burke's ' History of the Commoners,' vol. iv. p. 90. Who was Sir Luke ? and who were Eliza- beth's parents ?

WOOD. I also want information concern- ing the family of Anne, daughter of George Wood of Castle Laccan, Tireragh, co. Roscommon. She was born in 1705, and married Matthew Phibbs of Collooney, co. Roscommon. KATHLEEN WABD.

SCOTT'S ' COUNT ROBEBT OF PABIS.' In chapter xxiv. of ' Count Robert of Paris ' Agelastes answers the Emperor Alexius Comnenus by a quotation intended to alarm him :

" The speech that suggested itself was said to be that which the phantom of Cleonice dinned into the ears of the tyrant who murdered her :

Tu cole justitiam : teque atque alios manet ultor. The sentence, and the recollections which ac- companied it, thrilled through the heart of the emperor."

It would be strange enough if the Byzantine maiden Cleonice, when haunting Pausanias (about 478-7 B.C.), intimidated him with a Latin hexameter. Plutarch, who tells the tale in two places (' Vit. Cimonis,' cap. vi., m. p. 482, and in his treatise on ' The Delayed Vengeance of the Gods,' cap. x., ' Moralia,' 555 c), gives the Greek verse <TTfi\c Si'xrjs do-Q-ov * pxAa TOI KOKOV dv8pd(riv

for which the Latin is obviously no equivalent.

As if this were not enough, an annotator in the " Centenary " Edition of the Waverley Novels (Edinburgh, 1871), vol. xxiv. p. 308, calmly adds in a foot-note " Ov. Met." as the reference. The shade of Ovid has surely haunted that annotator since with direr visitations for his worse outrage than that of Pausanias, who did not murder, but killed his victim unintentionally.

However, poor stuff as the line is, who is responsible for it ? H. K. ST. J. S.
