Can any reader kindly supply HERBERT C. ANDREWS.

RYAN : LORD CARDIGAN AT BALACLAVA. I lately saw in ' D.N.B/ mention made of a book or article published in 1855 by George Ryan, entitled ' Was Lord Cardigan a Hero at Balaclava ? ' apparently implying that he was not. Can this be the George Ryan who, in that same year, wrote a book called ' Heroes of the Crimea,' which has been in my possession from the time of its publica- tion ? It seems hardly possible, for in the latter work the conduct of Lord Cardigan is made the subject of the highest eulogy. Who was George Ryan, and what is known of the former book or article ?

E. L. H. TEW. Upham Kectory, Hants.

JAMES NEWELL GORDON, " King of Morro Velho," who was manager of the Sao Joao d' El Rei Mining Co. at Morro Velho, Brazil, figures constantly in the ' Romance of Isabel Burton ' and in Marianne North's ' Memoirs of a Happy Life ' (in neither case is his Christian name given), having played the

generous host to both these ladies. Where did he come from, and when did he die ? He occupied, I believe, a conspicuous place in the later commercial history of Brazil. J. M. BULLOCH. 123, Pall Mall, S.W.

QUEEN ANNE'S NURSE. The following is a copy of an affidavit in my possession, stamped Qd. and Qd. To what historical doubt does it refer ? Mrs. Martha ffarthing is in my own family, amongst whose papers I found this :

" Martha ffarthing the wife of John ffarthing Esqr maketh oath, that she this dep' was wett nurse and did give sucke to her p r sent Mat 16 Queene Anne for the space of ffifteene monthes or thereabouts, and that she this dep 1 was the onely wett nurse to her p r sent Ma tie
