staff, was killed during the siege of Vicks- burg. Is it possible that " Mad Archy Campbell " may have been the son of Dr. Archibald Campbell by a previous marriage ?

There is an interesting account of Archi- bald Campbell in Dr. Joseph Johnson's ' Traditions and Reminiscences of the Revo- lution in South Carolina,' published in Charleston in 1851.

Perhaps, if EL SOLTEBO wrote to the Secretary of the South Carolina Historical Society, Charleston, S.C., she might be able to give him precise information as to Archy Campbell's parentage, &c., and possibly confirm my inference. EL CASADO.

BOOTHBY FAMILY QUABTEBINGS (11 S- iii. 269, 416). The REV. W.G.D. FLETCHEB asks to whom a fesse dancette or between 10 cross-crosslets belongs. As I under- stand MB. A. S. ELLIS'S reply, he attributes these arms to " Raineurt," while he after- wards refers to the arms of Reincurt as Gules, a fesse dancette between 6 garbs or. Now Boutell (' English Heraldry,' p. 70) gives Azure, billettee, a fesse dancette or, as the arms of Deincourt ; also, in the east window of the north aisle of the church of St. Andrew, Hprnchurch, Essex, are two shields, one of which bears Billettee, a fesse dancette, and the other, though much mutilated, is clearly, on the dexter side, the same as its fellow, and on the sinister a chevron between 3 garbs. These shields, being painted in grisaille, do not indicate tinctures.

Are Raineurt, Reincurt, and Deincourt variants of the same name ? Has a mar- riage between a Deincourt and a lady of one of the many families which bear a, chevron between 3 garbs been in any way responsible for the garbs in the arms of Reincourt, as quoted by MB. ELLIS ?

RICHABD BADDELEY (11 S. iii. 189). The Richard Baddeley referred to by DIEGO is possibly the friend of Thomas Coryatt, to whom the verses in the famous ' Crudities ' are addressed. The curate of Bilston was the Rev. Thomas Baddeley, M.A., after- wards (1642) Prebendary of Lichfield. In the B.M. is a copy of a work called ' The Living Librarie,' &c., being a translation from the Latin of P. Camerarius, by John Molle, Esq., 1621. It is dedicated to John, Lord Bishop of Lincoln, by Rye. Baddeley, who on p. 3 begs " to present your Lordship with another man's book, having nothing of any worth of mine own."

In 1625 the same Richard is found sign- ing the letter of orders granted by Thomas, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, to John Pointer (18 Dec.), Canon of Christchurch, Oxon (cf. Wood's 'Fasti,' ed. 1815, 381).

In 1628 (?) he was staying at Shavington Hall, Market Drayton, with Viscount Kil- morey, and settling a serious matter between the Needham family there and their neigh- bours the Corbets of Adderley, in regard to certain disputes regarding the limits of the north transept in the church at Adderley (cf. Catal. Shavington MSS.).

BOOK INSCBIPTIONS (11 S iii. 207). Stanzas 256 and 257 of Chaucer's ' Troilus and Criseyde,' Book V., run as follows : Go, litel book, go litel myn tragedie, Ther god thy maker yet, er that he dye, So sende might to make in soni comedie ! But litel book, no making thou n'envye, But subgit be to alle poesye ; And kis the steppes, wheras thou seest pace Virgile, Ovyde, Omer, Lucan, and Stace.

And for ther is so greet diversitee In English and in wryting of our tonge, So preye I god that noon miswryte thee, Ne thee mismetre for defaute of tonge. And red wher-so thou be, or elles songe, That thou be understonde I god beseche ! But yet' to purpos of my rather speche.

WILL WATCH (11 S. ii. 269, 353). The first entry under this heading in the General Catalogue of the National Library is a song published at Edinburgh (?) in 1802 (?). The next is a song, Dublin (1820 ?); and the last is London (1840 ?). There is also ' Will Watch,' by the author of ' Cavendish ' (W. J. Neale), 1834.

In the Music Catalogue I find 'Will Watch,' &c., a song by John Davy, London (1872) : this was republished in No. 3449 of The Miisicol Bouquet (1874).

' Will Watch the Bold Smuggler ' was published by A. Park (no date). It is a standing figure with a background of an engagement between the King's sailors, and smugglers or pirates : within a border.

' Mr. C. Pitt as Will Watch ' was pub- lished by E. Skelt (no date or address), No. 100. This is a full-length standing figure, with a flag of a death's head and cross- bones, on deck of a gunvessel, with an engagement going on in the background : originally published by B. Skelt at Swan Street, Minories.

For Charles Dibdin Pitt (1819-66) see Boase's ' Modern English Biography.' He was a popular transpontine actor. I have
