NOTES AND QUERIES. tn s. iv. DEC. ie, 1911.

of stout paper of different colours, with a backing of brown paper, cut apron-shape, and ornamented in the way described by W. C. B. Folks thought a lot about them, and the best rooms must have them if ordinary rooms went without. A lath was at the back of each near the top to keep them in shape, and to the lath was appended a string-made loop, by which they were hung on a nail in the chimney.

THOS. RATCLIFFE.

DUD DUDLEY (11 S. iv. 406). I may add to the information given at the above reference that Mr. Willis Bund has prepared a short memoir of Dud Dudley, copies of which may be obtained from Mr. W. H. Carder, Secretary of the Staffordshire Iron and Steel Institute, 158, Tividale Road, Tipton. R. B. P.

ROBERT ANSTRUTHER, M.P. (US. iv. 389, 459). This was Robert Anstruther, 3rd eon of Sir John Anstruther, 2nd Bt. of An- struther, co. Fife (creation 6 January, 1700), Colonel of the 68th Regiment and of the Tav Fencibles. Born 31 December, 1757; mar- ried 9 May, 1801, Anne Nairn, who died 27 September, 1804, and by whom he had two sons and a daughter. F. DE H. L.

JOHN BODE, 1639 (11 S. iv. 369). This is r probably John Bode of Davington Priory, Kent, who died in Clerkenwell, and whose will was proved P.C.C. 14 March, 1644/5 (51 Rivers). See Hasted's * Kent,' ii. 726-7, for some account of the Bode family, and the volumes of Kent and Essex pedigrees there referred to. PERCEVAL LUCAS.

WATCHMAKERS' SONS (11 S. iv. 269, 336). Robert William Elliston, the celebrated actor and manager, was the son of a watch- maker who carried on business in Orange Street, Bloomsbury, and whose brother was sometime Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. WM. DOUGLAS.

I am indebted to MR. GURNER JONES and MR. J. F. BENSE for their interesting ad- denda. I may add Robert Herrick, whose father and uncle were both Cheapside goldsmiths. Sir William Herrick joined to his profession that of the kindred business of banking and moneylending ; whereas Herrick was a jeweller as well, possibly a working goldsmith and jeweller. It would be interesting to know whether in the centuries before the eighteenth our gold- smiths were professional watchmakers and

repairers, because in more recent years there sprang up great naval clock - and chronometer - makers, like Frodshams of Cornhill and Roskells of Liverpool, who were not makers of jewellery and trinkets. M. L. R. BRESLAB.

I think I am right in saying that the trades of watchmaker and jeweller were distinct in the eighteenth and previous centuries. The jeweller was a dealer in gems and precious stones ; the watch- maker was a very highly skilled mechanic. The East India Company dealt in precious stones of various kinds with native (and sometimes European) jewellers, who had special knowledge of their values. The trade was only possible for men of con- siderable capital. Reference to such jewellers is frequent in the old Madras records. They sold " pockets " of dia- monds, &c. FRANK PENNY.

" ALL WHO LOVE ME FOLLOW ME " (11 S. iv. 426). See also Garibaldi's appeal to his troops and to the Roman people: " Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not with his lips only, follow me " (Trevelyan's ' Garibaldi's Defence of Rome,' p. 231). F. B. M.

'THE VELVET CUSHION' (11 S. iv. 288). Besides the above (New York, 1815), I have a small book entitled ' A New Covering to the Velvet Cushion' (New York, 1815). H. L. FAIRCHILD.

Cazenovia, New York.

REV. DR. OGILVIE, BROTHER OF THE POET (11 S. iv. 227). The Rev. James Ogilvie, D.D., was chaplain to Lord Forbes, and curate of Egham. In early life he had been Rector of Westover, Virginia, but refusing to renounce his allegiance to Eng- land, he was compelled to leave the United States at the outbreak of the Revolution. On returning to this country he obtained the charge of Egham, where he lived for many years, greatly esteemed. A volume of ' Sermons on various Subjects ' was pub- lished by him in 1787. He was living in 1816, but the date of his death I have not ascertained. SCOTUS.

' KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE ' : = 3s. 2d. (11 S. iv. 348, 434). We have other references to such pricing marks in early plays. For example, in Act V. sc. iii. of ' Pedantius,' a Latin comedy acted in the Hall of Trinity College, Cambridge, about
