NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. iv. SEPT. ao, wn.

' Archipropheta ' was privately printed in 1906, and is, I believe, in the British Museum, Cambridge, and other libraries. There are various small differences between the MS. and the printed copy, and the Dedication is dated from Exeter College, instead of Christ Church. D. J-

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (11 S. iv. 189). All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in

sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.

' GUESSES AT TRUTH ' : CONTRIBUTORS (11 S. iv. 229). In the memoir (signed E. H. P.) prefixed to Macmillan's 1867 edition of this work we are told that in the first edition the ' Guesses ' contributed by Augustus Hare, which were considered by his brother " as the main substance of the book," were left without any special sign of authorship. The contributions of Julius were indicated by the initial U, those of his brothers Francis and Marcus by R and A respectively ; and there were a few others, admitted then or afterwards, which were marked in like manner with the second letter of the names, Christian or surname, of the contributors. These, says E. H. P., " belonging as they do to persons whose names are not otherwise memorable, it seems hardly necessary to identify."

UNIACKE FAMILY (US. iv. 188). There is a story in the Uniacke family that James Uniacke, the first owner of Mount Uniacke, co Cork, was present at the battle of the Boyne and, when King William's horse was shoi under him, gave his horse to the King, who drew a pistol from his holster and handed it to Uniacke, saying he was a faithful anc brave man. Since that time the descendants of James Uniacke have taken for their crest a dexter arm in armour holding a pistol, with the motto " Faithful and brave." The family crest previous to this appears to have been a dexter arm gauntleted, holding a hawk's lure with the motto "Unicus est."

James Uniacke after the Boyne was given a commission in the regular army. The original commission, that of cornet in Col. Henry Conyngham's Regiment of Irish Dragoons, dated 16 March, 1693, is in the possession of Mr. Lambert Uniacke, Monks-

GRAY'S SONNET RICHARD WEST ' : 229).

To warm their little loves the birds complain. This line occurs in a part of the sonnet which Wordsworth adjudged to be of no value apparently because it is written in a style of " poetic diction." Be this as it may, the word " complain " is here used in a sense not peculiar to Gray. W T hen Crashaw's Musician ('Music's Duel') upon his Jute invokes " sweetness by all her names," he

s represented as " complaining his sweet cares " ; Somerville, in ' The Chace,' says

the bird

That glads the night had cheer'd the list'ning groves with sweet complainings.

VERSE (11 S. iv. 102, 152). At the latter reference I gave ' Thyrsis et Phyllis ' as the heading of Samuel Butler's Latin transla- tion of ' Damon and Juliana ' in the third edition of ' Arundines Cami,' 1846, and URBANUS gave ' Ne quid nimis ' as the heading in the sixth edition.

In the fifth edition, 1860, p. 127, the head- ing is ' Aegrescit medendo.'

"SOUCHY": " WATER-SUCHY " (11 S. iii. 449; iv. 13, 96, 137). In 'The Ency- clopaedic Dictionary ' occurs the word souchet, Fr., a dish of Dutch origin in which fish is served in the water or stock in which it is boiled. ' The Century Dictionary ' has zoutch, v.t. (origin obscure), to stew whiting, eels, &c., in just enough water to cover them. Whether the Dutch zouten, to salt, has any connexion with the above words, I do not kiiow T. TOM JONES.

SEVENTEENTH - CENTURY QUOTATIONS (10 S. x. 127, 270, 356, 515 ; xi. 356 ; xii. 217; 11 S. i. 351; ii. 235, 392). No. 32 was given thus :

Pectoris et cordis pariter proprieque monile Ornatus. Colli sunt torques, auris in aures, Annulus est manuum, sicut armillae brachiorum, Atque periscelides exornant crura puellse.

This is a form of the following lines in the ' Synonyma ' of Johannes de Garlandia : Pectoris estproprie spinter: pariterque monile. Ornatus colli fit torques : & auris inaures. Anulus est manuum : sunt armillse scapularum, Atque perichelides exornant brachia nymphse.
