 NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. x. JULY is, 191*.

country in the seventeenth century were graduates of Oxford, but most of them were graduates of Cambridge. Nathaniel Eaton, the first head of Harvard, matriculated at, but did not graduate from, Trinity, Cam- bridge ; and the Rev. Henry Dunster, the first President of Harvard, graduated from Magdalene, Cambridge : hence it is to Cam- bridge rather than to Oxford that one would look for customs introduced at Harvard.

COTTERELL, COTERILL, AND VARIANTS. 1

am hoping shortly to found, with Capt. W. Sandford Cottrill, S.A.M.C., of Johannesburg, a " Cotterell Family Association " for the purpose of collecting together, indexing, and printing, if possible, pedigrees, genealogical data, historical facts, and other interesting details with reference to bearers of this name and its many variants throughout the world.

It would be a considerable help if the secretaries of other family associations already established would communicate with me, and, if willing, acquaint me with the methods of working their respective organi- zations.

I would also appeal to all bearers of the name to send me the fullest possible informa- tion with regard to their descent ; however insignificant it may appear, it may prove the link which will unify the whole.

Much spadework has already been done by Capt, Cottrill and myself, but much more remains to be done; and I would finally appeal to any brother genealogist who may happen to have any Cotterell notes to afford me facilities for taking copies thereof.

AN OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRINT. I have a print marked " HB," " Proof," entitled ' The Chancellor of the University of Oxford attended by Doctors of CiwZLaw,' " Published by Tho" M c Lean, 26, Haymarket, Dec r 1 st The word "Civil" is underlined, .t represents a procession from left to right. The Duke of Wellington as Chancellor is stepping along daintily at the extreme right m square cap and a gorgeous gown, the train of which is held by some one in uniform with epaulets and cocked hat. Then come, two and two, six figures in various uniforms, mostly military, the two foremost (of whom one looks like Sir Robert Peel) having, however, black squash hats. All, excepting

the aide-de-camp, appear to have gowns over uniform. The rear is brought up by an officer in a lancer's helmet. Can any one give me the names of the persons so represented ? Are they Sir Robert Peel's Ministry of 1834 ? Is the print rare ? Why is the word " Civil " underlined ?

ADULATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH. In the P.R.O., ' Transcripts from Rome,' First Series, vol. iii., is a transcript from the Bor- ghese papers in the Vatican archives (Bor- ghese, i. 448), the original of which is said to have at the back, in the handwriting of Father Persons, S.J., " De Regina Anglise.' r The transcript runs as follows : -

De impia hcereticorum in Anglice Reginant

adulations.

Ex Anglia referunt eo tarn processisse haereti- corum erga Reginam adulationem ut non tantum de ea canant poetae,

Diva potens divxim, virgo sanctissima, etc. verum etiam quod nuper altare quoddam ei in aula scenico more erexerint thusque adoleverint,. prseterea quod ad effigiem eius omni genere lenpcinii adornatam hi versus subjungantur tipisque vulgentur,

Pallas, Juno, Venus frondosae in vallibus Idae

Judicium formae cum subiere suae, Formosas inter si tu Dea quarta fuisses,

Vicisses omnes o Dea quarta Deas.- Quam Juno ieiuna foret, quam pallida Pallas, Quam Dea vana Venus, quam Dea sola fores. Is it known who wrote these verses ?
