NOTES AND QUERIES. ui s. v. JAN. 27, 1912.

SHEFFIELD CUTLERY IN 1820 (11 S. iv. 428). I am now in a position to answer my query as to the authorship of the ' Manuel de 1'Ouvrier en Fer.' The first 60 pp. are a translation of an essay on ' Edge Tools ' in the fifth volume of Sam. Parkes's ' Chemical Essays.' The latter portion of the work is adapted from Hassenfratz, ' Siderotechnie,' tome i. pp. 39-67. E. WYNDHAM HULME.

COL. GORDON (US. iv. 508). The plate to which MR. BULLOCH refers appeared in the ' Investigation of Charges against the Duke of York.' See Mr. F. O'Donoghue's ' Catalogue of Engraved British Portraits ' (British Museum), ii. 354. W. ROBERTS.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (10 S. vii. 69).

If more is needed to be known,

Our Lord will teach thee that. When thou shalt stand before His throne, Or sit as Mary sat.

Not very long ago the question was answered by a correspondent in The Guardian. The verses are an inaccurate reproduction of some lines quoted by Archbishop Whately in his ' Introductory Lessons on Christian Evidences ' (Longmans & Co.), p. 84. They are taken from a volume of poetry by Bishop Hind, and " were originally inscribed in a Bible presented to a child." The correct version is as follows :

And what if much be still unknown ? thy Lord

shall teach thee that, When thou shalt stand before His throne, or sit as

Mary sat.

MINER FAMILY (11 S. v. 8). Neither the name of Bullman nor of Miner appears in the Index of Collinson's ' History of Somerset,' and it requires more than the authority of "an old pedigree " to make any one acquainted with the origin of English surnames likely to believe that Edward III. " rewarded with the name of Miner" an individual already named Henry Bullman.

By " Norton-Small-Reward " is no doubt intended Norton-Malreward, a village near Chew Magna ; and " Burslingtown " may mean Brislington in the same neighbourhood.

The names of " Henretta de la Villa Odorosa " and " Isabella Harcope de Froli- bay " sound strangely in conjunction with either Miner or Bullman, and it would be interesting to learn exactly how William, " Flos Militiae," avenged on Richard III. the murder of the Princes in the Tower.

The ' History of Ickworth and the Family of Hervey,' by the late Lord Arthur Hervey, Bishop of Bath and Wells, printed at Lowes- toft, 1858, contains elaborate pedigrees of all the known branches of the Hervey family. No " Sir George H. of St. Martins " is to be found ; Sir George H. of Thurleigh, Kt., aged 6 months at his father's death in 1474, died in 1521, leaving an only dau. and heir Elizabeth, and an illegitimate son Gerard.

COURT LEET : MANOR COURT (11 S. iv. 526). All copyholders' rights to pasturage, &c., on Hampstead Heath were extinguished when it was purchased by the Metropolitan Board of Works. MR, CLARKE has been misled by the local journal he names, which cannot be regarded as authoritative.

ALECK ABRAHAMS.

HIGHGATE ARCHWAY (11 S. iv. 206, 257, 274). The following is quoted by The Observer from its issue of 5 .Tan., 1812 :

" The Proprietors of the Highgate Archway* purpose giving a splendid subterranean entertain- ment in the course of the present month. Lady Hamilton and a long list of fashionables are expected to be invited : Mrs. Billington and the choral throng will be sent in requisition. This undertaking will be completed by Midsummer." This tends to confirm MR. JOHN T. PAGE'S and MR. ALAN STEWART'S assumptions that the date of laying the foundation stone was 31 Oct., 1812. The " subterranean entertainment " must refer to the abortive tunnel scheme mentioned by MR. STEWART, which preceded the erection of the Archway.

GEORGE GRIFFITH, BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH (11 S. iv. 528). This divine married Anne, daughter of Thomas Cobbe of Grames (pro- bably meant for the Grange parish of Michel- dever) in Hampshire (Add. MS. 9864), by whom he was father of six children. Thomas, the eldest son, matriculated at Jesus College, Oxford, 14 Dec., 1658, and on 29 Sept., 1666 was admitted a burgess of Denbigh. The eldest daughter Anne was married on Saturday, 29 Oct., 1664, to John Myddelton, Esq., of Gwaynynog in the parish of Hen- Han, Denbighshire, so that we may conclude that the bishop married between the years 1640 and 1644. John Myddelton's son George was the grandfather of the Rev. John Vlyddelton, Rector (1805-34) of Bucknall, Lincolnshire, the writer's grandfather. The
