NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. m. JUNE 10, 1911.

f> In Alcester Church is an alabaster effigy of Sir Fulke Grevil. He has a lion at his feet, but Lady Elizabeth has a little dog lying by her left foot, sabled and collared. The date is 1560.

A dog appears on the effigy of Cicely Bonville, Marchioness of Dorset, in Astley Church, Warwickshire (circa 1530-35).

In North Bradley Church is a brass of Emma, mother of Archbishop Stafford (A.D. 1446). A dog lies at her feet.

A memorial to Lady Willoughby (who died in 1391) in Spilsby Church, Lincolnshire, bears the figures of two dogs with collars and bells at her feet. A lion lies at the feet of Lord Willoughby de Broke in Callington Church. The date is 1502.

The monument in Broadclyst Church, Devonshire, supposed to represent Sir Roger de Nonant, bears a lion.

Many other instances are recorded in Rogers' s ' The Strife of the Roses and Days of the Tudors in the West.'

JUDGE JEFFBEYS AND THE TEMPLE CHURCH ORGAN (11 S. iii. 427). A third edition of 'Notes on the Temple Organ,' by the late E. Macrory, edited by M. Muir Mackenzie, is just out, and answers MR. UDAL'S query.

Burney 's ' History of Music ' (vol. iii. p. 437) is quoted on p. 27 as the source of the statement that

" the decision [between the rival organs] was left to Lord Chief Justice Jefferies, afterwards King James the Second's pliant Chancellor, who was of that Society (the Inner Temple), and he terminated the controversy in favour of Father Smith, so that Harris's organ was taken away without loss of reputation, it having so long pleased and puzzled better judges than Jefferies."

Mr. Macrory added a foot-note remarking : " I have not been able to find anything in the Books of either Society to corroborate this state- ment, derived by Burney from a letter written by Dr. Tudway to his son, and it is not probable, if the decision had been left to Jefferies, that there would not have been some record either of his appointment, or of the decision. It is, however, certain that Jefferies was not ' Lord Chief Justice at the time of the decision. ..."

He goes on to suggest that Jeffreys perhaps gave a casting vote. The ' Notes ' point out (p. 23) that "Lully, Queen Catherine's organist," is a mistake made by Burney, and should be Baptist Draghi, as corrected by Dr. Rimbault.

A second edition of ' The Temple Church,' by Mr. George Worley, also just out, gives a foot-note on pp. 59 and 60 derived from the * Inner Temple Records,' vol. iii. p. xlvi, Introduction by Mr. F. A. Inderwick, Q.C. This states that at the time of the decision Jeffreys was not a member of the Inner Temple, and that there is no reason to credit him with a knowledge of music. He Bimply settled the dispute as Lord Chan- cellor, such action being customary when the two societies could not adjust their differ- ences by means of a conference or committee.

FATHER QUIBOGA AND THE THIRTY YEARS' WAR (US. iii. 409). An English transla- tion of Schiller's 'Thirty Years' War' appeared in 1846, and a version of the

in 1885. Barthold and Soltl are other German authors who have handled the theme. See also Prof. A. W. Ward's 1 Thirty Years' War,' 1869. Reference may further be made to Archbishop Trench's ' Gustavus Adolphus in Germany,' to Mr. J. L. Stevens' s ' Memoir of Gustavus Adolphus,' and to lives of Wallenstein by. Ranke, Forster, and others, as likewise to Schiller's dramatic exposition.

The best detailed account of this war ia Antony! Gindely 's, translated by Prof, ten Brink (2 vols., 1886). It is based on exhaustive research into contemporary docu- ments. Schiller's history of the War is of course of literary interest, but of little scientific value. Archbishop Trench's

one aspect of the war in interesting fashion.

I am familiar with no Father Quiroga except the well-known Jesuit mathematician and man of science, whose name is held in honour in Bologna ; but he is of later date than 1631. Quiroga is a noble name in the province of Galicia.

" THAT MAN IS THOUGHT A DANGEROUS

KNAVE" (11 S. iii. 367). Lord Houghton wrote a poem entitled ' The Men of Old,' but the stanza E. V. L. quotes is not printed in the poem as it appears in the 1876 edition of his poetical works. Can it have been suppressed ? FRANK J. BURGOYNE.
