SEVENTEENTH - CENTURY QUOTATIONS <See 10 S. x. 127.) No. 28 in this list was :

Titulo dignatus equestri Virtutem titulis titulos virtutibus ornans.

This has remained unidentified in * N. & Q. ' But it is interesting to find a parallel conceit quoted in a foot-note to Ben Jonson's masque '* The Hue and Cry after Cupid ' :

Titulo tune crescere posses, Nunc per te titulus.

EDWARD BENSLY.

" VIRTUE. . . .is PEREGRIN A IN TERRIS, IN CJELO civis." (See 10 S. ii. 130.) Although no attempt has been made in ' N. & Q.' to trace this saying, it may be pointed out that Ben Jonson appears to have had it in mind when writing the last song in his masque ' Pleasure reconciled to Virtue ' : 11. 21, 22, are :

And though a stranger here on earth, In heaven she hath her right of birth.

EDWARD BENSLY.

DICKENS : WHITE - HEADED BOY. In chap. xxv. of ' The Old Curiosity Shop ' the schoolmaster's pupils include four "white-headed" boys. F. G. Kitton, in his careful notes to the Rochester Edition, remarks :

" As mention is also made of * a, flaxen poll ' among the distinguishing traits of the scholars, it is some- what difficult to understand what Dickens meant by ' white-headed.' "

Dickens obviously means not albinos, but the very light hair which sometimes belongs to early youth and darkens in course of time to flaxen or some deeper hue. Strictly speaking, one may call the phrase an exaggeration, and therefore it may be well to notice that it is used by a great con- temporary of Dickens as well as a famous predecessor in fiction. Thackeray mentions a " little white-headed boy " in ' Philip,' chap. "xl. Scott in the first chapter of ' Guy Mannering ' introduces Jock, " a great, white-headed, bare-legged, lubberly boy of twelve years old." V. KENDALL.

WHITTINGTON'S HOUSE, CRUTCHED FRIARS. The Gentleman's Magazine for July, 1796 (vol. Ixvi. part ii. p. 545), provides a de- scription and illustration of a mansion then " situate in Hart Street, four houses from Mark Lane, up a gateway." "It is expressed," says the correspondent, " in the old leases as Whittington's Palace, and the appearance, especially external, warrants a probability of the tiuth." Apparently there are no earlier references to the house or more acceptable identification. Lambert's 'History of London' (1806) has a better illustration, but says positively, " They are the remains of the celebrated Whittington. " The later works (Lysons's ' The Model Merchant of the Middle Ages,' and Povah's ' Annals of St. Olave, Hart Street ' ) only reproduce these references and illustrations, so the identification still rests on some allu- sion in old leases of unknown date.

The demolition of the house about 1840 occasioned one interesting discovery. The museum of the Guildhall had in 1862
