in the gallery. MB. ELLIS' s identification will very likely lead to the revealing of the history of the picture, and of further facts about De Momper, his residence in England, and his probable painting of pictures for Charles I. ERNEST LAW.

PENGE AS A PLACE-NAME (US. iv. 330, 437). A twelfth - century instance of this name occurs among the Briefs of the Pleas formerly kept in the Chapter - House at Westminster. The record states that a certain John de Brumfeld " reced^ sine die versus Stephcmum abbatem Westmonas- teriensem de placito bosci de Penge, quia," &c. ('Placitorum. .Abbreviatio,' 1811, p. 23, col. ii.). The date is Michaelmas Term in the first year of King John, sc. 1199.

While awaiting PROP. SKEAT'S explanation those readers of ' N. & Q.' who possess his latest volume, 'The Place-Names of Berk- shire' (Clarendon Press, 1911), will not fail to turn to p. 67 (" Genge ") and p. 17 (" Pseginga ") therein.

JOHN ADDENBROOK : DATE OF DEATH (US. iv. 410). In reply to G. F. B. B.'s query as to when John Addenbrook, who was instituted to the living of Upper Sapey in this diocese in 1725, died, I find that his successor was instituted on 6 February, 1727, the living being then vacant by the death of John Addenbrook.

"HAPPEN" (11 S. iv. 346, 437). The use of the word " happen " noted at the latter reference is common in the Midland Counties. Usually, but not always, it occurs as " m'appen " (=may happen)^ " M'appen I shall, and m'appen I shan't." In the Isle of Axholme " happen " is used I have not heard it elsewhere. Instead accident has happened to

This word is by no means out of usage in the sense of perhaps. A man, hoping to meet some one, says : " Happen I shall light on him." The word also means " to wrap up ' or " enfold," as " I '11 happen it up for you." " Happen it will happen " is another way of using the word. THOS. RATCLIFFE.

I heard a variant of this word more than fifty years ago 'in a farmhouse in Surrey. I do not recollect what led up to it, but the phrase for "perhaps" was "hap it may hap." J. P- STILWELL.

OMAR KHAYYAM BIBLIOGRAPHY (11 S. iv 328, 358). So many inquiries have reached me concerning translations of the ' Rubaiyat ' of Omar Khayyam into foreign languages, that I think the following list will be useful. I include only those versions not mentioned in Dole's ' Multi- Variorum ' edition, and shall be glad to know of others :

CAPT. MARRYAT: 'DIARY OF A BLASE' (US. iv. 409). Mr. R. B. J[ohnson]'s note in Dent's edition of Marryat's ' Olla Podrida ' succinctly explains :

/' This edition of ' Olla Podrida ' does not include the ' Diary on the Continent,' which ap- peared first in The Metropolitan Magazine (1835-6) as ' The Diary of a Blase,' continued in The Neio Monthly Magazine (1837-8) as ' Confessions and Opinions of Ralph the Restless.' "

Marryat himself described the ' Diary ' as " very good magazine stuff."

LIBRARIAN. Wands worth.

Perhaps Marryat's ' Diary of a Blas6 ' never appeared in book-form. At any rate, I have portions of it in an 1835 volume of The Metropolitan Magazine, London, re- printed in New Haven, Connecticut. The completing portions of the ' Diary ' doubt- less appeared in the next volume of that same magazine, now defunct, but at one time conducted by Marryat himself.
