107 still in existence and could be seen? I find allusions also to a MS. Life of the Countess by her secretary (Mr. George Sedgwick); but this, too, I have been unable to trace.

The "three enormous volumes folio," of which John Baynes wrote to a friend in 1785 (see 'N. & Q.,' 1 S. xii. 2), are now in the possession of Lord Hothfield, who has kindly permitted the Writer to inspect them. Together with many legal papers, grants, charters, &c., and carefully drawn out pedigrees, these contain merely the original of the 'Summary' of Lady Anne's life and the lives of her parents and ancestors compiled by her, of which a copy may be seen among the Harleian MSS. at the British Museum. But this is not the Diary, and deals more with the past records of her family and the more important events of her own years than with the intimate private details of her everyday life.

" EOWESTRE " : " YOUSTERS." I read (11 S. vii. 501) that eowestre is O.E. for " sheepfold." Will some philologist tell me whether " E wester " or " Yousters," the name of a farm in the Isle of Axholme, Lincoln- shire, is a form of this word ?

The North Lincolnshire pronunciation of duced far back against the roof of the mouth, or at times against the middle, never near the teeth. I am informed that the you of " Yousters " has the same sound.
 * ewe " is yoh, the vowel-sound being pro-

AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED. I should be glad to learn the name of the author of the following :

Wisdom and knowledge, far from being one, have oft-times no connexion. Knowledge dwells in minds replete with thoughts of other men, wisdom in minds attentive to their own. Know- ledge, the mass out of which wisdom builds, till squared and litted to its place does but encum- ber its possessor.

" THE FIVE WOUNDS." During excava- tions at Roche Abbey, South Yorkshire, an incised memorial slab was uncovered in the nave bearing " an inscription, With hands and feet, and a pierced heart in the centre."

Can your correspondents refer to any other specimens of this device, either in stone or painted glass ? I have some recol- lection of instances of the latter.

DE GREY : HENRY DE GREY OF THUR- ROCK IN ESSEX, TEMP. RICHARD I. He had a son, John de Grey, who in the books of the peerage is said to have married Joan, widow of Pauline (?) Pevre. I have a note that he wedded Emma, dau. and heiress of Geoffrey de Glanville. Can any reader say which is right ? This Sir Henry is likewise shown to be the grandson of Auchitel de Grey, who had lordships in the counties of Oxford and Berks at the Domesday Survey, made 1085 to 1086. Now, as Auchitel's father-in-law, Baldwin de Redvers, Earl of Devon, died in 1155 and in point of time the dates do not exactly tally I am con- strained to express a doubt whether this is the Auchitel de Grey mentioned in the general survey. There must be another person of the same name, in a higher degree, in the pedigree, and several generations wanting betwixt the " peerage " Auchitel and John, Lord de Grey, only son of Rollo or Fulbert, Chamberlain to the Duke of Normandy, who gave him as a present the castle and lands of Croy in Picardy, whence sprung the name de Croy, subsequently de Grey.

WORDS AND TUNES WANTED. Will any reader of * N. & Q.' kindly tell me where to find (1) the rest of the words and the tune of a lyric which ends " She 's off with the raggle-taggle gypsies, oh ! " (2) the Words and tune of ' Caradoc's Hunt ' ?

These two lyrics are mentioned on pp. 126 and 256 respectively of ' The Icknield Way,' by E. Thomas (Constable & Co., 1913).
