201

The continuation of the history by Malleson, after Kaye's death, is not now being dealt with. I give such information as I have already gathered about Kaye's three volumes :

Vol. I. : published in 1864 ; second edition, 1865 ; fifth edition, 1870 ; sixth edition, 1872 ; seventh edition, 1875 ; eighth edition, 1877 ; ninth edition, 1880.

Information wanted about the third and fourth editions.

Vol. II. : published in 1870 ; new edition, 1874 (? second or third) ; fourth edition, 1878 ; fifth edition, 1888.

If the " new edition " of 1874 is the second edition, in what year was the third pub- lished, and vice versa ?

Vol. III. : published in 1876 ; third edition, 1877 ; fourth edition, 1880.

Information wanted as to the second edition. J. H. LESLIE.

" THE SHAKESPEARE'S HEAD." In what street was this famous and disreputable tavern situated ? ' The Memoirs of the Shakespeare's Head in Co vent Garden,' a now somewhat scarce work in two volumes, was published in 1755 by F. Noble.

HORACE BLEACKLEY.

MRS. HENRY STEPHENS, NEE PLANTA. Miss Planta, a sister of Joseph Planta (1744- 1827), the Librarian of the British Museum, married the Rev. Henry Stephens. I should be much obliged for any information about her or her husband.

HORACE BLEACKLEY.

COOKSON OF DARRINGTON. Could any reader of ' N. & Q.' tell me if the Cooksons cf Darrington, Yorks, were originally a branch of the Cooksons of Settle, Yorks ?

Richard Cookson of Darrington was there in 1624, for in that year he married. Bap- tisms of his children appear in the Parish Register, and the line is carried down to 1800.

This Richard Cookson may have come to Darrington from Settle and founded the Darrington family.

I was told that a family of Cookson was seated at Rothwell one of whose members was an eminent divine at Leeds.

Possibly Richard Cookson was related to one of these families.

Please reply direct.

THE SITE OF THE GLOBE.

(11 S. x. 209, 290, 335 ; xi. 447 ; xii. 10, 60, 70, 121, 143, 161.)

DR. MARTIN, in the first portion of his reply, states that he has good grounds for supposing that I do not correctly construe a passage in the Coram Rege Roll, 1616. It would have been helpful if he had given the reasons for these good grounds instead of replying in general terms.

It seems to me that the passage to which he refers is perfectly clear. The land on which the Globe was built abutted " upon a lane there, called Maiden Lane, towards the south." The only interpretation of these words is that Maiden Lane formed the southern boundary of the land on which the Globe was built.

DR. MARTIN says :

" In order to prove that the Coram Rege Roll stated that the ground upon which the playhouse was erected lay to the north of Maiden Lane, MR. HUBBARD finds it necessary to dispose of the fact that the existing Globe Alley lies to the south of Maiden Lane."
