NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. i. JUNE 25, 1910.

.as Affecting the Division of Territory between Oreat Britain and the United States, 1 London, 1869.

W. B. Cheadle, M.A., M.D., I take to be Walter Butler Cheadle, M.D., who in 1892 was Senior Physician, Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London. .He was the author of several valuable medical works, and contributions to medical journals (see * Who's Who,' 1908).

W. S. S.

Dr. Walter Butler Cheadle, one of the travellers referred to, was Consulting Physician to St. Mary's Hospital, and died on 24 March last. There was an obituary notice of him in The Times of 29 March. His fellow-traveller, William Viscount Milton (born 1839 and died 1877), was the father of the present Earl Fitzwilliam.

D. A. HABBEN. [MB. ALBEBT MATTHEWS also thanked for reply.]

AUTHOBS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (11 S. a. 408). The lines quoted by A. B.,

Though beaten back in many a fray, &c., .are from a song by Gerald Massey, of which J have two verses. The first is as follows : 'Tis weary watching, wave by wave, And yet the tide neaves onward ; We climb, like corals, grave by grave,

That pave a pathway sunward. We 're driven back for our next fray

A newer strength to borrow, And where the vanguard camps to-day The rear shall rest to-morrow.

I do not know of more than two verses.

H. PAGE. Leicester.

An ounce of enterprise is worth a pound of privilege.

The line may be found on p. 318 of ' The Companionship of Books,' by Frederic Rowland Marvin. The book is published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London. E. B. TBEAL.

New York City.

INITIAL LETTEBS FOB NAMES : OLD LONDON BOOKSELLEBS (11 S. i. 346, 432, 454). G. S. would probably be Gabriel Simpson, bookseller, at the White Horse in Fleet Lane in 1695. Possibly W. P. stands for William Ponsonby, who married Joan, eldest daughter of Francis Coldock, and was bookseller at the Bishop's Head in Paul's Churchyard in 1591. J. L. is pro- bably John Legate, citizen and stationer of London and printer to the University of Cambridge, who died in 1626, or his son, who lived in London as a printer in the year

1637. J. HOLDEN MACMlCHAEL.

Several efforts to cope with the huge task of forming a register of old London book- sellers have been made. The more successful are :

Ames and Herbert, Typographical Anti- quities, 3 vols., 4to, 1785-90.

Arber, List of 837 London Publishers, 4to, 1890.

Duff, Century of the English Book Trade, 1457-1557, 4to, 1905 ; Printers, Stationers, and BooJkbinders of London and West- minster in the Fifteenth Century, 8vo, 1899 ; Westminster and London Printers, 1476-1535, cr. 8vo, 1906.

Duff and others, Handlists of English Printers, 1501-56, 3 vols., 4to, 1895-1905.

Plomer, Dictionary of Booksellers and Printers, 1641-67, 4to, 1907.

Timperley, Encyclopaedia of Printers and Printing, roy. 8vo, 1842.

Worman, Alien Members of the Book Trade during the Tudor Period, 4to, 1906.

See also indexes of ' N. & Q.,' Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, and The Library.

At St. Bride's Institute, Fleet Street, I understand Mr. R. A. Peddie has gathered a most useful collection of manuscript entries for reference, and my own MS. collection, awaiting publication, numbers between twenty and thirty thousand entries, to which I am continually adding. In addition, my forthcoming Shakespeare bibliography will exhibit some thousands of the book- selling fraternity who were associated with the publication of the poet's writings in earlier days. WM. JAGGABD.

RlCHABD II. NEAB CALAIS (11 S. I. 466).

The information desired by MB. TATLOCK is to be found in the preface to ' Chronique de la Trai'son et Mort de Richart Deux Roy dengleterre,' &c., by Benjamin Williams, F.S.A., English Historical Society, 1846. This is a transcript of a MS. in the Bibl. Royale de Paris, formerly belonging to the Abbey of St. Victor. At pp. xliii, xliv of the Preface Mr. Williams writes :

"In 1390 we find him (i.e., Sir Harry of Derby, the Duke's son of Lancaster) taking part, with several other English knights, at a pas d'armes at Calais, against the Marshal Boucicault, Renaud de Roie, and the Lord of Sempi. [Notices des MSS. de la^Bibl. du Roi, v. 568.] At this entertainment Richard was present, but the Marquis de Saluces, who was also there, relates that very little account was taken of him. 'Plus loins, je trouvai les tentes du Roi d'Angleterre, jeune chevalier, fils de ce Prince de Galles qui avait fait prisonnier le Roi Jean. Autour de lui etoient mains hauls hommes. et en grand estat, et qui menoient grant
