NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s.vm. NOV. 22,1913.

have a record of a fourth edition at 5s. (Tinsley), 1862, and 1864 (fifth edition) ; a sixth edition at 2s. ("Railway Library"), Routledge, 1867 ; an edition with the im- print ' ; London, Daily Telegraph, E.G.," no date ; another, by Routledge, in January, 1894 (" Hearth and Home Library ") ; and the one in the " Half -forgotten Series," Routledge. 1903, with Introduction by E. A. Baker, M.A. (not G. A. Baker). All, except the last, appear to give the sub- title of " or, Thorough." The book was also translated into French ; and an American edition was published by Button of New York, at $1, in 1903. It is spoken of as being "a deification of strength and of very questionable morality " in the ' D.IST.B.'

This book was first published in 1857 as ' Guy Livingstone ; or. Thorough.' Al- though the 'D.N.B.' does not mention the fact, Lawrence spent one term (the first of 1838) at Harrow School in Mrs. Leith's house. He did not enter at Rugby until August, 1841. Both his father and his uncle were old Harrovians.

My memory is that the title-page ran ' Guy Livingstone ; or, Thorough,' and ] am justified by 'The English Catalogue. The book was published anonymously in 1857 by Parker & Son of the West Strand ; the price being 9s. ' Sword and Gown, ' Barren Honour,' and other works by the same author (George Alfred Lawrence 1827-76) were all issued anonymously, I think. WM. H. PEET.

COACHING TOKENS (11 S. vi. 50, 133). In ' Stage-Coach and Mail in Days of Yore,' by Mr. Charles G. Harper, London, 1903, vol. i. p. 174, is the statement that, in 1797,

" three mail-coach halfpennies were struck by some now unknown admirer [of John Palmer]. They bear on the obverse a mail-coach, and on the reverse an inscription to him ' as a token of gratitude for benefits received ' from his system " ;

' One of three mail-coach halfpennies struck at Bath, 1797." At the second reference in N. & Q.' a correspondent described illustra- ions which had appeared in a serial in 1905, depicting three " mail-coach halfpennies," me of them bearing the date 1797, the other somewhat scarce tokens were, in fact, ssued about the same time, I should be grateful for knowledge as to the implied greater rarity of any bearing the date 1797, as compared with those which give no year.

BLACK is interested : "In the centre stands the
