NOTES AND QUERIES. pi & ix. FEB. 7, MM.

MILITARY: COLOURED PBINT (11 S. viii. 489 ; ix. 37). Ackermann's set of plates of ' The Costume of the Indian Army ' (not issued as a book) contains one plate of the Bengal Horse Artillery. There are thirty- three plates in the set.

ASTLEY TERRY, Major- General.

PARISHES IN Two OR MORE COUNTIES '(11 S. ix. 29, 75). The information desired by Miss WOODS is in the Census Returns. C. E. A. BEDWELL.

Middle Temple Library.

PICTURES OR PRINTS WITH " BROKEN- CLASS " EFFECTS (11 S. ix. 49). It may be interesting to W. B. H. to know that I have a print of St. Cecilia of this kind, 18 in. by 14 in., bought in Philadelphia in 1881. Does W. B. H. want to see it ? Hie ET UBIQUE.

An excellent example of this singular kind of art an oil painting is exhibited in the \vell-known antiquarian book-store of Mr. Gregory of Argyle Street, Bath.

SILVANUS P. THOMPSON.

FIRE -WALKING : PHYSICAL EXPLANATION (11 S. ix. 49). I remember when a boy reading in a book of ' Parlour Magic ' that rubbing the hand with storax enabled you to handle red-hot iron with impunity I never tried it. W. B. S.

THOMAS COCKING (11 S. ix. 69). I have failed to find the birth- and death-dates of Cocking, but he flourished between 1783 and 1791. In the Introduction to Francis Grose's ' Antiquities of Scotland,' published in 1789, the author says :

"It is necessary to inform the reader that the following [twenty drawings] were drawn under my inspection by my servant, Thomas Cocking, a young man who promises to make an excellent draughtsman."

Cocking also accompanied Grose to Ireland in 1791, and made a number of drawings which are engraved in the 'Antiquities of Ireland.' Some of this artist's original work may be seen in the Royal Irish Academy.

jANWEENix(ll S. ix. 69). The querist should consult ' Painters arid their Works,' by Ralph N. James, 3 vols., Upcott Gill, 1897, where, in vol. iii., he will see a list of forty-six works by Weenix at pp. 271-3, and a copy of his usual signature at p. 81 of the Appendix.

ARCHIBALD SPARKE, F.R.S.L. Bolton.

LOCKE FAMILY (US. ix. 48). Carew in his ' Survey of Cornwall ' says with refer- ence to Anne Vaughan, the mother of Henry Locke, poet, 1553 (?)-1608 (?) :

" A gentlewoman suppressing her rare learning, with a rarer modesty, and yet expressing the same in her virtuous life and Christian decease." In the pedigree of the Locke family her father's name is not given. Could she be the daughter of Stephen Vaughan, who was in the service of Thomas Cromwell, and who died 1549 (see 'D.N.B.') ? Vaughan in his will mentions his three children by his first wife : Stephen, Anne, and Jane. She was buried at St. Giles's, Cripplegate, 12 June, 1573. Henry Locke, her son, is stated in ' D.N.B.' to have married Anne Moyle of Cornwall, but I do not know on what authority. Her daughter Anne married Robert Moyle of Bake, in St. Germains parish, to whom Henry Locke addressed a sonnet, in which he styles Moyle his brother-in-law.

The Lockes and Moyles at this period appear to have shared the religious views of Stephen Vaughan, which were of a Calvin- istic type. A. STEPHENS DYER.

LOCK, FANNY BURNEY'S FRIEND (11 S. ix. 48). There appears to be some mystery as to the parentage of William Locke of Norbury Park, and it was said of him that " he was every one's father and no man's son." CONSTANCE RUSSELL.

Swallowfield.

COFFIN-SHAPED CHAPELS (11 S. ix. 51). In Philadelphia there is a celebrated Roman Catholic church built in this curious shape. It was erected some time in the eighteenth century, and in a vault underneath it are the remains of Stephen Giraud, the munificent founder of the splen- did college which bears his name.

The Coffin House in King Street, Brixham is doubtless well known, though that, of course, is not a chapel.

THE SECOND FOLIO OF THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS (11 S. viii. 141, 196, 232,294,317; ix. 11, 73). In the line quoted by SIR

EDWIN DURNING-LAWRENCE,

Not daring meddle with Apelles Table, '' table " means a picture, and not a " table of contents." Cp. Shakespeare's .Sonnet XXIV. But " table "= picture was com- mon down to 1700.
