' MARRIAGE,' BY SUSAN FERRIER. The first edition of this work was published in 1818 in three volumes. The next in poin of date in the B.M. Library is that of 1831 in two volumes ("Standard Novelists' Series). I have a copy in two volumes lacking the title-pages, which evidently appeared before 1831. It was printed or ribbed paper at Edinburgh by Jame Ballantyne & Co. The motto from Jererrn Taylor, which in the first edition follows the title-page, is at the end of the firsi volume. In the 1831 edition this is omitted Can it be that my copy is one of a smal number printed for the author when she made the alterations necessary for th appearance of the work in two volumes instead of three ? I can find no clue in her e Life ' by Prof. Terrier. C. D.

AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED. I shall be glad if any of your readers can assist me to trace the author and title of the work con- taining the following quotation :

" The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases ; it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits ; it giveth a perfect judgement ; it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits."

Chief Librarian. Central Library, Town Hall, Croydon.

REV. JOSIAS DURANT AND THE DURANT

FAMILY. According to printed records, Josias Durant died at Hagley, Worcester, 30 March, 1764. His wife is said to have been a sister of Wilde Buckeridge of Lich- field, and his daughter Margaret was un- doubtedly the wife of Theophilus Bucke- ridge, son of the above Wilde. I have been trying for some years to ascertain some- thing regarding this particular branch of the Buckeridge family, but without much success. The following is a brief abstract of the will of Theophilus, who contributed a good deal of matter towards the history of Stafford :

Will dated 20 March, 1800 ; mentions son Charles and his wife Elizabeth Slaney ; second son Richard, md third Lewis ; mother Theophila ; brother William ; sister Charlotte Buckeridge ; sister 3 enelope ; sister Theophila, wife of Edward Stringer; sister Rebecca Clement ; Mrs. Buckeridge )f Burton ; children of Mr. William Mott. Proved >y Revv. Charles Buckeridge and Richard Bucke- -idge, Clerks, and Lewis Buckeridge, Esq., 26 Apl., 804. (P.C.C.)

I searched for the will of Josias Durant, >ut could not find it. His son George mrchased Tong Castle. Any reference o the will or particulars of the Durant amily likely to be of assistance in tracing he ancestors of Wilde Buckeridge will be ery gratefully acknowledged. I imagine
