CHATSWORTH (11 S. x. 389). The follow- ing is in ' The History of Chesterfield. . . .and Descriptive Accounts of Chatsworth,' &c., London, 1839, p. 386 n. :

"The celebrated Marshal Tallard, who was taken prisoner on the plains of Hochstedt, near Blenheim, by the Duke of Marlborough, in 1704, remained a prisoner in this country during a period of seven years. He was invited by the Duke of Devonshire to Chats.worth, and nobly entertained by him for several days. On departing, he paid his Grace this pleasing compliment: 'My Lord Duke, whsn I compute the time of my captivity in England, I shall leave out the days of my enjoyment at Chats- worth."

LATIN JINGLES (11 S. x. 250, 298, 337, 393). A collection of these will be found in an Appendix on the metrical Latin proverbs of the Middle Ages, in a little work by Kichard Chenevix Trench, entitled ' Proverbs and their Lessons,' published by Macmillan.

SIR THOMAS BERNARD, BART. : FRANCIS E. PAGET, M.A. (11 S. x. 388). Sir Thomas Bernard (1750-1818) was born at Lincoln, 27 April, 1750. He was the son of Sir Francis Bernard, was educated at a private school in New Jersey and at Harvard Univer- sity, and, acquiring a considerable fortune, devoted himself to the welfare of the poorer classes, becoming well known as a philan- thropist. He died 1 July, 1818. The book mentioned by your correspondent was first privately printed in 1813, and was published in 1816.

Francis Edward Pa get (1806-82) was a noted divine and author, and eldest son of Sir Edward Paget. He became Rector of Elford in 1835, and died there in 1882. He published many tales illustrating his views on church and social reforms.

ARCHIBALD SPARKE, F.B.S.L.

" CAMBO BRITTANICUS " (11 S. x. 387). The Wolstanton Register probably means " A Welshman," but an r has been dropped out by somebody after the first b. I seem to remember some lines about Oxford in which occurred

fuge limina Jesu.

Fervidus has sedes Cambro-Britannus habet.

Or was it "Horridus" instead of "Fervi- dus " ?

It must be fifty years since I heard them. JOHN R. MAGRATH.

Queen's College, Oxford.

Is not this meant for "Cambro-Brltannus," the common word for a Welshman ? John Owen, for example, the epigrammatist, calls himself Cambro-Britannus, and describes his Welsh friends by the same term.

EDWARD BENSLY.

Aberystwyth.

The following periodical was issued in 1643, and the entry in the Wolstanton Register may be that of the burial of its writer :

" Numb. 1. The Welch Mercury. Communicat- ing remarkable Intelligences and true newes lo awle the whole Kingdonte, from Saturday Octob.

21 till Saturday 28, 1643 Printed for' W. l. y

and G. Lindsey. 1613."

No. 2 appeared for 28 Oct.-3 Nov., and Xo. 3 (W. Ley only) for 3-11 Nov. The title and printer were then changed, and the " diurnall " became

" Numb. 4. Mercurius Cambro-Britannus. The British Mercury ; or, the Welch Diurnall [&c.]. . . . .Printed by Bernard Alsop, Novemb. 20, 10-13."

No. 5 was dated for 20-27 Nov., and w;>.- probably the last number. All are in the Burney Collection at the British Museum (vol. 14. A.). This periodical is written in the broken English Shakespeare mak< > his Welsh characters employ. Does tin entry in the Wolstanton Register give any name ? J. B. WILLIAM >.

" BOCHES " (11 S. x. 367, 416). The word may be derived from the German Bursch. applied to tho German journeymen artisans or tramps infesting neighbouring count r In Banish Sleswick these knights of the road, often a terror to peaceful country dis- tricts, are known as " bosses."
