a single early specimen. The authorities have, however, recently purchased a pair of paper curtains, the design on which points to their being of late eighteenth - century production.

W. P. D. S.'s notes of where early examples may be found are valuable, and it is to be hoped that other readers may add to his list, as from inquiries I have made in the most likely business quarters it appears highly probable that few, if any, old pattern-books have survived. GEOBGE NOTTEB.

I believe there still exists on the walls of the billiard -room at Markeaton Hall, co Derby, an early example of a Chinese wall- paper. I cannot remember it sufficiently to suggest a date. To the best of my recollec- tion, it consists of panels of subject-pictures upon a small-patterned ground.

DE GUILEVILLE AND BUNYAN (11 S. i.

247). The book MB, STAPLETON MABTIN desires to find is no doubt ' A Study of the Sources of Bunyan's Allegories, with Special Reference to Deguileville's " Pilgrimage of Man,' 1 * by James B. Wharey (Baltimore, J. H. Furst Company, 1904).

G. C. MOOBE SMITH.

A paragraph on the interesting parallel between ' The Pilgrim's Progress * and ' Le Pelerinage de PHomme J of De Guileville will be found in Chambers's ' Cyclopaedia of English Literature, 2 last edition, 1901, vol. i. p. 722. It is there stated that ' Le Peieririage de PHomme,' englished by Lyd- gate as ' The Pilgrimage of the Life of Man, J was printed by Dr. Furnivall for the Early English Text Society, Part I., 1899.

ADDISON'S MATEBNAL ANCESTBY (10 S. x. 201, 292, 355). William Guls(t)on became Rector of Thrapston, Northants, in 1573 (Bridges, ' Northamptonshire, * vol. ii. p. 381). He compounded for firstfruits 7 June, 1574, his bondsmen being Augustine Lowton of St. Faith's parish, London, stationer, and John Hudleston of Thrapston, generosus.

Thrapston register contains the following baptisms :

6 March, 1575. Theodore Gulson. 1 Jan., 1577. John, son of William Gulson. The dates are apparently not Old Style, the year beginning on 1 January in this book.

William Guls(t)on compounded for the firstfruits of Wymondham 17 June, 1578, his bondsmen being William Freman of St. Sepulchre's parish, London, innholder, and Richard Wilkinson of the same parish, wax- chandler.

The marriage licence allegations of Leices- ter Archdeaconry give the marriages of two of his daughters :

1604. Joseph Stubbs of Knipton and Mary Gulson.

1614. Henry Waite of Wymondham and Susanna Gulson.

Mrs. Waite married, secondly, Thomas Byett, and was living his wife on 17 Nov., 1657 ; see will of that date (proved P.C.C., 1 Wooton, 29 Jan., 1657/8) of her son Henry Waite.

Dr. Theodore Gulston (Goulston) must have been the eldest son of William Gulston. ' D.N.B.* apparently errs in stating that he was born in 1572. He married Helen, daughter of George Sotherton, but died s.p. In his will he refers to his parents as follows :

'I do give unto my father William Gulston and to my mother Elizabeth his wife 201. apiece."

" I desire my executrix, in case my father aiid mother fall into want and not able to maintain themselves, that she will maintain them and relieve their necessities."

William and Elizabeth Guls(t)on were probably married in 1573 or 1574. Any information about her parentage would be welcome. G. O. BELLE WES.

SEVENTEENTH - CENTUBY QUOTATIONS (10 S. x. 127, 270, 356, 515 ; xi. 356 ; xii. 217). With regard to No. 13, Nutrit ubi implumes peregrina Ciconia foetus,

Ad nidos abies consita primo [sic] fuit,

see George Buchanan's ' Paraphrasis in Librum Psalmorum,* civ. 16, 17 : Nee minus arboribus succi genitabilis humor Sufficitur, cedro Libanum frondente coronas, Alitibus nidos : abies tibi consita surgit, Nutrit ubi implumes peregrina ciconia foetus.

Under No. 9, to the reference in Pliny's Natural History J supplied by H. K. St. J. S., may be added Philip Camerarius's ' Horse Subsecivse sive meditationes Historicae,' Uenturia I. cap. xi. (" Angues ex medulla cadaueris humani nasci "), where, among other illustrative examples, is a story about the body of Charles Martel, given on the authority of R. Gaguinus and ^Emilius (i.e. Paulus ^Emilius of Verona).
