MANNERS, DEPORTMENT, AND ETIQUETTE : THEIR BIBLIOGRAPHY (11 S. i. 84). With regard to two of the Italian books men- tioned by MR. MACMICHAEL, it may be worth noting that though they had been dressed in English about the time of Robert Burton's birth, yet they are quoted in the ' Anatomy of Melancholy ' from Latin translations, that of Castiglione's ' Cortegiano * being by Bartholomew Clerke (' De Curiali siue Aulico,' 1st ed., London, 1571), while for Giovanni della Casa's ' Galateo ' the Latin used is Nathan Chytrseus's.

Another Italian work that may be classed with these, Stefano Guazzo's ' Civile Con- verzatione,' which had appeared in English in 1586, was read by Burton in Latin. In the same way, although the Spaniard Antonio de Guevara's 'Marco Aurelio ' had been made English, Burton used a Latin* version.

A Latin sixteenth - century book on manners that deserves a prominent place in any such bibliography is Friedrich Dede- kind's poem ' Grobianus.' A brief account of some works in the department of manners (" Anstandslitteratur ") is given by Aloys Bonier in his introduction to the 1903 reprint (No. 16 in " Lateinische Litteratur- denkmaler des XV. und XVI. Jahrhunderts," Berlin, Weidmann) ; but the subject is large, and ' ' not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand unadvisedly."

CROWE OF KIPLIN, YORKS (11 S. i. 103). There being in Yorkshire several places named Kiplin(g) or Kilpin, it is proper to state that the seat of the Crowes was in the chapelry of Bolton-upon- Swale, in the 1 >a rish of Catterick. In the sixteenth century it wavS the property of the Calverts, and the first Lord Baltimore was born there (' D.N.B.,' viii. 269).

Christopher Crow or Crowe (the name was written both ways) was consul at Leghorn, and his correspondence is indicated in the article on his relation Mitford Crow in ' D.N.B.,' xiii. 236. The connexion of Crow with Mitford is shown in Misc. Gen. et Her., N.S. iii. 137 (1880) ; and Mitford Crow's wife and three sons are recorded m the parish register of St. Nicholas Aeons, '<! Bripg, 1890, p. 41.

On the death in 1722 of John Grubham Howe, brother of the first viscount, Christo- pher Crowe bought his Yorkshire estates, including Ellerton-upon-Swale. The doings of these Crowes are often mentioned in the letters of the Gale family in ' Stukeley's

Diaries,' 3 vols., Surtees Soc. Notes of ! Christopher's will, and particulars of the I connexion - with the Lee family, are given in I The Genealogist, N.S., x. 235, xi. 20, xiv. ' 157. Further details of the Baltimore alliance are in G. E. C.'s ' Complete Peerage,' under that title. The second Christopher married Barbara Buncombe "of Cope- grave " at St. George's, Hanover Square, 13 Feb., 1752 (Harl. Soc., Registers, xi. 47).

Robert Crowe's wife, Anne Buckle, is described in The Genealogist, 18?9, iii. 254, 258. He was captain of 47 cavalry volun- teers raised from Kipling and Langton, for the defence of Yorkshire, in 1806 (' Old Yorkshire,' 1883, iv. 106) ; and in 1807 he voted at the York county election, in respect of his freehold at Kipling.

The hall was occupied by the Countess of Tyrconnel until her death ; there is more about her in The Herald and Genealogist, v. 561.

Matthew Crowe, whose daughter became Mrs. Charge, was of another stock, concerning which see The Topographer and Genealogist, ii. 116, 556. W. C. B.

Mr. Christopher Crowe of Kiplin may be identified with the person of that name who was baptized at Bothal on 22 June, 1682, as son of Patrick Crow of Ashington. His mother was Anne, daughter of Robert Mitford of Mitford. Christopher Crow's brother Benjamin, of Queen's College, Oxford, became Vicar of Gilling, near Rich- mond in Yorkshire, and died there on 22 or 23 Sept., 1749, unmarried.

George Crow, second son of Christopher Crow of Kiplin, married at Mayfair Chapel, 23 March, 1754, Ann Swift, of St. Bartholo- mew's near the Exchange, by whom he had issue two sons and one daughter.

Christopher Crow's will, dated 4 Sept., 1740, was proved at York, 15 March, 1749/50. J- C. HODGSON.

Alnwick.

Possibly two notes regarding Christopher Crowe may help in some way.

An Estate Act enabled him to dispose of his settled estates at Woodford in Essex, he having settled other hereditaments in York of greater value to the same uses (1. Geo. II., cap. 8, 1727).

There was also an Estate Act to vest in Christopher Crowe, in simple fee, part of his settled estates in York, and settle others in same county in lieu thereof (5 Geo. III., c. 92, 1765). J. HOLDEN MACMICHAEL.
