AUTHORS WANTED. Who wrote the poem commencing " He cheered me oft " ?

E. M. S.

Can any reader inform me who is author of the following lines ?

No backward path, no home [more ?] returning, No second crossing of the ripples' flow ;

Come to me now whilst the west is burning,

Come ere it darkens

RIXHAM FAIR AND MATTHEW PRIOR. In Prior's letter from Westminster, 4 Aug., 1709 ('Sir Thomas Hanmer's Correspond- ence,' p. 120), occurs the following :

" The Bath waters have done a good deal towards the recovery of [my health], and the great specific Cape Caballum will, I think, confirm it. Upon this head I must tell you that my mare Betty grows blind, and may one day by breaking my neck perfect my cure : if at Rixham Fair any pretty nagg that is between thirteen and fourteen hands presented himself, and you would be pleased to purchase him for me, one of your servants might ride him to Euston, and I might receive him there."

Can any of your readers help to solve this query as to what and where Rixham Fair was ? of course, and obviously, a horse fair. Brixham, I fancy, has been suggested, but there are insuperable difficulties to that '>eing a right solution. Further, can any reader say if the reference to Eustoi here implies the old horse or grain market which, I have been told, existed upon or near the site of a disused Euston Station ?

SIXTEENTH - CENTURY CARDINALS. I should be grateful for any information as to the portraits now in existence, and as to the coats of arms, of the following Card nals : (1) Giovanni Morone, (2) Stan'slaus Hosius, (3) Gianfrancesco Commendone, (4) Tolomeo Galli, (5) Jorge de Almeida, and (6) Filippo Sega; as well as of Nicolo Ormaretto. Bishop of Padua.

JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

JOSEPH Fox. Is there a portrait of Joseph Fox ? He was born in 1775, and died in 1816. He was Surgeon -Dentist to Guy's Hospital, and had a fashionable private practice. He was the author of works on the Natural History and Diseases of the Teeth, and he helped to found the Jenner Society, which awarded him a gold medal for his zealous efforts to promote vaccination. He was Secretary to the British and Foreign School Society from

its establishment to his death. As he was a prominent Dissenter, there may be a por- trait of him in one of the denominational periodicals. DAVID SALMON.

' To ONE IN PARADISE.' To whom did Poe address the stanzas thus entitled, which end with the well-known lines :

And where thy footstep gleams In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams !

" CONDAMINE." I should be glad to know the meaning and derivation of the word " Condamine," as applied to parts of several towns hi the Riviera and elsewhere, e.g., Monte Carlo, Mentone. Inquiry has had no result, nor can I find an answer in any encyclopaedia. CHERWELL.

PALLAVICINI: JANE CROMWELL. (11 S. ix. 270, 314, 375, 435.)

SINCE my reply appeared at the last reference I have visited Chipping Ongar, generally called Ongar, and have inspected the two epitaphs of which the book I quoted pro- fesses to give copies. I am not in the least surprised at finding that the copies of both are very incorrect. The two stone slabs lie on the sinister side of the altar. That which has the epitaph of Jane (Cromwell) Pallavicini is close to the altar, and next to it is the other slab.

The stone of the former is much worn and chipped, and the ends of most of the lines are gone. At the head [is a coat of arms representing, I suppose, those of Cromwell, a lion rampant, impaled with those of Pallavicini. See later.

The following is an exact copy of the other epitaph, which is in such a good state that I have a rubbing of it.

Coat of arms no doubt of the Pallavicini family. I know little of heraldry, but I
