cross." The fifth edition was published only eight years earlier, in 1753. A large part of the ' Tour,' in so far as it relates to Glasgow, is quoted from the fifth edition in the Appendix to the 1830 edition of McUre's 4 History of Glasgow.' The sentence relating to the cross is not included in this quotation, nor is the subsequent sentence. There is evidence, however, that at least one im- portant addition was made in the sixth edi- tion, a lengthy passage being included dealing with the Clyde Navigation Act, which was passed in 1759, six years after the fifth edition of the ' Tour ' was published. It may be pointed out that Dr. Gordon, the author of ' Glasghu Facies,' claimed to have included in that work every previous history of Glasgow. In all probability his quotation from Defoe was taken from the Appendix to the 1830 " ^Lcllre," and not direct from the fifth edition of the ' Tour.'

As to Defoe's responsibility for the Scottish portion of the book associated with his name, that is a matter extremely difficult to decide. But he certainly could have no responsibility for emendations or additions to the fifth and sixth editions, since these appeared twenty-two years and thirty years after he was dead. G.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION WANTED {11 S. vii. 310, 354). 5. ROBERT ANDREWS. Neither the age when Robert Andrews was admitted, nor the date of his leaving the school, is recorded. G. F. R. B.

MAIDS OF HONOUR UNDER THE STUARTS (11 S. viii. 350). Maids of honour as a rule married, and so changed rapidly. Sarah Jennings was in attendance on the Princess Anne for years. In 1684 the following ladies were attached to the Court of the Princess of Denmark : the Countess of Clarendon, Lady of the Bedchamber and Groom of the Stole ; Lady Churchill (Sarah Jennings), Lady of the Bedchamber ; Mrs. Drummer, Mrs. Temple, Mrs. Talbot, and Mrs. Nott, Maids of Honour ; Mrs. Beatrice Daiivers, Mrs. Martha Farthing, Mrs. Elinor Burt, Mrs. Cecilia Jones, and Mrs. Isabella Walmsley, Dressers ; Mrs. Cooper was Mother of the Maids (Edward Chamberlayne's ' Anglise Notitia,' 1684, pp. 238, 239). .

In Grammont's * Memoirs ' (Grammont was in England and frequented the Court in the years 1670, 1671, and 1676) the following are mentioned : Miss Stewart (afterwards Duchess of Richmond), Miss Warmestre

(afterwards Mrs. Killigrew), Miss Bellenden, Miss Wells, Mile, de la Garde, Mile. Bardon, and possibly others.

Henrietta Maria was the Christian name of Miss Price. She was the daughter of Col. Sir Herbert Price, Bart., Master of the Household to Queen Henrietta Maria, and afterwards to King Charles II.

DIVINATION BY TWITCHING (11 S. viii. 187, 237, 273). That the Japanese of the eleventh century held a superstition allied to what Y. T. attributes to the Ulster folk of the present day is borne out by the ' Toshiyori Kudenshu,' wherein it is said that the itchy eyebrow and especially the left one foretells the arrival of a rare guest or a beloved.

AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED (11 S. v. 108; vii. 475; viii. 115). Another English poet who has taken this same thought from the source referred to at the second reference is Nicholas Grimald. See the twelve lines in Tottel's ' Miscellany ' (Arber's ed., p. 101) headed

Musonius the Philosophers saiyng, and beginning :

In workyng well, if trauell you sustaine : Into the wiride shall lightly passe the payne : But of the deed the glory shall remaine.

"BARRING-OUT" (11 S. viii. 370). A good account of barring-out at Ormskirk Grammar School appeared in The Gent. Mag., November, 1828, pp. 402-8, where mention is made of other references, such as Brand's ' Antiquities,' &c. It was re- printed in " Gent. Mag. Library," ' Popular Customs,' pp. 164-73.

"PATIENCE" AS A SURNAME (US. viii. 350). John Patience, or Pacyence, occurs in ' Letters and Papers, Foreign and Do- mestic, Hen. VIII.,' vol. xiv. pt. i. p. 601.

Col. James Patience, 65th Regt., 1851, was present at the surrender of Martinique and the capture of Les Saintes and Guade- loupe in 1815.

It is a coincidence that in a parish register I found a Patience Ward, a servant-maid, buried 1599, a forerunner of Sir Patience Ward, Lord Mayor 1681.
