Miss Francis ? I should also be glad of ' PABISH FORMATION. Where may I find

any bibliographical information regarding the French piece from which this ballet was adapted. R. H.

LEA WILSON'S COLLECTION OF BIBLES. I shall be obliged if any reader can give me information as to the disposal of the collection of Bibles, &c., belonging to Lea Wilson, of which a catalogue was printed in 1845. If the collection was sold by auction, I should be glad to know the date of the sale. I specially desire to discover the present location of the copies of three editions of the Metrical Psalms which appear in the cata- logue, viz. : 39. The Psalms, &c. 16mo, Schilders, Middelburg, 1599. 78. The Psalms, 16mo, Raban, Aberdeen, 1629. 79. The Psalms, 16mo, Hart, Edinburgh, 1630. WILLIAM COWAN.

BENJAMIN GABLIKE. Is anything known about the career of Benjamin Garlike, British Minister at Copenhagen 1805-7 ? Is any biographical sketch in existence ?

SCOTTISH TITLES CONFEBBED BY OLIVEB CBOMWELL. Mark Napier states in his life of John Graham of Claverhouse, Vis- count Dundee (1859), vol. i. p. 217, that the Marquess of Argyll and Sir Archibald John- stone, commonly called Lord Warriston, had titles given by Oliver Cromwell. I have never heard of Scotch titles being conferred by the Protector. It is probable, however, that the statement is correct. - Can any- one tell me what the titles were, and if others were given by him to Scotchmen ?

SIB FBANCIS BATHUBST. Sir Francis Bathurst went to Georgia about 1734 with his wife Frances and some of his family. About 1737 his wife died in Georgia, and soon after Sir Francis was married by the Rev. John Wesley to Mary Pember, the widow of the Attorney-General of Antigua. It is supposed that Sir Francis and his wife sailed for England after this marriage, possibly with Wesley. Can any reader verify this, and give date and place of death of Sir Francis and his wife Mary ?

AGNES.

LONG BABBOWS AND RECTANGULAB EABTHWOBKS. I should be glad of refer- ences to papers dealing with long barrows associated with rectangular earthworks.

EDITOB ' BBADFOBD ANTIQTJABY.'

the fullest and most trustworthy account of the formation of the ancient parishes of England ? GBEGOBY GBUSELIEB.

FAIBFAX : SAYBE : MAUNSELL. Mar- garet, daughter of Sir Thomas Fairfax of Silling, co. York, and widow of William Sayre of Worsall, between 1531 and 1535 married a Richard Maunsell (Durham Cur- sitor Records, Deputy Keeper's Reports).

1. Who was this Richard ? I think he was brother of William M. of York, or at any rate one of the Yorkshire family, but I want proof.

2. When did Margaret die ?

3. Is there any reference to issue by this marriage, or any other information ?

D. MAUNSELL.

SUDANE, SOUDAN, OB SOLDANK FAMILY : INSUDANEYE. I should be obliged to any reader of ' N. & Q.' who could give me infor- mation regarding a family named Sudane or Soldank (the latter is Hasted' s spelling). This family was a distinguished one ; a certain Stephen Soudan took part in the Barons' Wars (Henry III.). Hugo Soldank held the manor of Hopland, Westbere, Kent, in that reign, as well as that of East Sutton or Sutton Court. Thorpe several times mentions the name in his ' Chronicle * ('Decem Scriptores') in connexion with charters of St. Augustine's monastery, the abbots of which were lords paramount of most manors in the vicinity. The name iu question is variously spelt by Thorpe, Soldani, Soldan, &c.

As early as circa A.D. 940 reference is made to " terram quse continet xliiij manentes, in loco qui dicitur Insudaneye," close to the Isle of Thanet, and " cur tern xij manentes habentem in loco qui dicitur Sturreye." Can any one locate Insudaneye ? This place seems to me to have been near Chislet. Any information will be much valued.

' GUIDE FOB THE PENITENT.' Who is the author of the ' Guide for the Penitent ' fre- quently, even in Jeremy Taylor's lifetime, bound up with 'The Golden Grove,' and hence often erroneously ascribed to the Bishop ? The author is referred to in the preface of many editions as "of the highest order of the Church." The ' Guide ' has been published separately at least once by the S.P.C.K. in 1852, edited by C. T. B., probably Chas. Black. I can find no clue at the B.M. to the authorship.
