493 shall see, are quite spoilt by the superabundance of geographical detail."

I think the foregoing excerpts demonstrate beyond doubt that Defoe was responsible for the editions of the work under notice published during his lifetime. For a long time I have been endeavouring to secure a copy of the first or second edition without success. It is becoming increasingly rare now. It would be a great boon to students of his works if the 'Tour,' as it left his hands, was republished, for, to use Wilfred Whitten's words in his sketch of Defoe:—

Although the 'Tour' is one of the most interesting and entertaining of Defoe's many writings, it is not included in any notable edition of his works such as the Oxford edition (20 vols., 1840-41), Hazlitt's (3 vols., 1840-41-43), or the more modern ones of Bonn and Dent, seven and sixteen volumes respectively.

HEART -BURIAL (US. viii. 289, 336, 352, 391, 432). There is an article on 'Heart- Burial,' by the late Canon Benham ("Peter Lombard'"), in The Church Times, o March, 1897, p. 272. R, B. P.

In an excellent paper on ' York Boy Bishops,' read by the Rev. A. Arthur Gill of Market Weighton before the Yorkshire Architectural Society not many weeks ago, the opinion was advanced that a heart, only, is sometimes buried under a miniature monument that is apparently erected to its original possessor tout ensemble. The so- called Boy-Bishop monument at Salisbury Mr. Gill accepts as an example of this method of dealing with the matter.

THE WEARING OF SWORDS (11 S. viii. 410). Swords were used as an article of dress in England in 1700, and, after falling somewhat V.into disuse, seem to have come again into fashion in 1790. Pepys on 20 March, 1663, " in Fleet street bought me a little sword with gilt handle, cost me 23^.'' By the order of the Earl Marshal, 30 Dec., 1701, footmen were forbidden to wear them. Beau Nash in 1704 was appointed "Master of the Ceremonies " at Bath ; and at that time gaming ran high there, and fre- quently led to disputes and resort to the

sword, then generally worn by well-dressed men. Swords were, therefore, prohibited by Nash in the public rooms. Still, they were worn in the streets, when Nash, in consequence of a duel fought by torchlight by two notorious gamesters, made the law absolute " that no swords should, on any account, be worn at Bath " (' Book of Days/ i. 218). The broadsword was for- bidden to be worn in Edinburgh in 1724.

A SYNOD OF ARI.ES, 1620 (US. viii. 387). Perhaps some of your readers could say whether it is a possible supposition that Twisse, the author of the pamphlet to which MR. MORGAN refers, could have confused Aries with Alais. This latter place is, of course, in the Cevennes, was a noted Hugue- not stronghold, and was actually the scene- of a Synod of the Reformed Churches in 1620. BRADSTON.

THE IDENTITY OF EMELINE DE REDDES-

FORD : " D'EVEREUX " AND SALISBURY

(US. viii. 66, 171, 253, 371, 431). Permit me to offer both MR. E. B. DE COLEPEPER and MR. ST. CLAIR BADDELEY my best thanks for the very kind way in which they have alluded, at the last of the above references, to my communication at p. 371. MR. E. B. DE COLEPEPER draws attention to the fact that the " surname "'of the family of Patrick and William, first and second Earls of Salisbury, and the latter's daughter Ela, was de Salisbury, alias de Sarisbery, and not D'Evereux. With this statement I entirely agree, but I would venture to point out that, whilst this fact was well known both to Lord Walter Fitz- Gerald and myself, Lord Walter as he was quoting from "Burke's ' Extinct Peerage '- naturally recorded Ela as he there found her, namely, as " Ela D'Evereux/' and I, as the transcriber of his table (p. 371),

ould not do otherwise than copy it as it was received by me.

There is no lack of evidence that the correct name of Edward, younger son of Walter de Eureux (misspelt by Burke, D'Evereux), Earl of Rosmar, in Normandy who inherited from his father amongst other possessions in England the lordships of Salisbury and Ambresbury (Burke's

Extinct Peerage,' 1840 ed., p. 174) and of his descendants, was de Salisbury or de Sarisbery. For example, Edward of Salisbury is~ often mentioned in Domesday Book (Banks's ' Dormant and Extinct Baronage,' iii. 644), and he occurs, under
