NOTES AND QUERIES.

373

THE FAMILY OF JENKINS ON, BARONETS OF HAWKESBURY AND EARLS OF LIVERPOOL (12 S. i. 208). MR. DENNY will find in vol. vii. p. 78 n., ' Victoria History of Lanes,' mention of an old view of the market- place of Preston, which appears in Fish- wick's history of that town (p. 417),

"showing a large timbered house on the south side, with a smaller one adjoining it to the east.

The large house had the initialSj ^and the date

1629 carved over a doorway. The builder was John Jenkinson, who by his will directed the completion of the house, leaving it to his widow Anne, and his daughters Grace and Elizabeth."

There are to be seen at the Probate Registry at Chester, as perhaps MR. DENNY knows, a considerable number of Jenkinson wills.

4 LOATH TO DEPART' (11 S. xii. 460; 12 S. i. 14, 33). When I sent my query (first reference) I had not seen a second passage in Henry Teonge's ' Diary ' in which mention is made of ' Loath to Depart.' The date of the first is June 3, 1675 ; that of the second June 20, when H.M.S. Assistance was about to leave Deal :

"Wee drink a health to all our friends behind us, in a good bowle of punch. . . .And, now may you see our mornefull ladys singing lacrimce, or loath to depart ; whilst our trumpets sownd Mayds ichere are your harts, &c. Our noble Capt. (though much bent on the preparation for his voyage,) yet might you see his hart full of trouble to part from his lady and his sonn and heire ; whoe though so younge, yet with his mayd to leade him by his dading sleeves, would he goe from gun to gun, and put his fmgar to the britch of the gun, and cry Booe ; whilst the mother, like a woman of greate discretion, seemes no whit troubled, that her husband might be the lesse so. But our leiuetenant's wife was like weeping Rachell, or mornefull Niobe ; as also was the boatswaine's wife : indeede all of them like the turtle-doves, or young pigions, true emblems of mourning. Only our master's wife, of a more masculine spirit, or rather a virago, lays no such grieve to her hart ; only, like one that hath eaten mustard, her eys are a little redd.

vapa TO (rvvccrOai rov? w It appears that the captain " intended to set the women all on shoare at Deale ; but finding no convenience there of a coatch, he carrys them to Dover," where " by 6 in the morning all our ladys are sent on shoare in our pinnace ; whose weeping eys bedewed the very sids of the ship, as they went over into the boate, and seemed to have chosen (might they have had their will) rather to have stuck to the syds of the ship like the barnacles, or shell-fish, then to have parted from us. But they were no sooner out of sight but they were more merry ; and I could tell with whom too, were I so minded.

" As soone as the boate was put off from the ship, wee honour their departure with 3 cheares, 7 gunns, and our trumpetts sounding. They in the interim (as farr as they could see us, holding up their hands with Eola, saying Vale longum !) doe close the devotions not as of olde the hethens used Dii Deceq; omnes, &c. ! but Father, Sonn, and Holy Ghost, be with you all ! But soone forget us." Teonge's Diary, pp. 12-15.

It appears strange in these days that the women should have been allowed to be on board a man-of-war (the Assistance frigate of fifty-six guns, p. 3) from June 3, possibly earlier, to June 21, i.e., between the Thames (Long Reach) and Dover.

In Chappell's ' Old English Popular Music,* new edition, revised by H. Ellis Wooldridge, 1893, vol. i. p. 102, s.v. ' Loth to depart,' the music is given, but

" the words proper to this tune have not been discovered, but those of the following example- might be sung to it :

II.

Deuteromelia, 1609.

Sing with thy mouth, sing with thy heart, like faithfull friends sing loath to depart : Though friends together may not alwayes remaine, yet loath to depart sing once againe."

Touching 2t va,7ri Trapa TO o~vvca-6ai TOVS toTras, I am indebted to PROF. BENSLY and another correspondent for the substitution. of (TLV<r6ai for crvv(rOai t and for the meaning here of Trapa, i.e., " along of." Thus the passage, corrected, means that airi was so named " along of " or because of its hurting the eyes.

Probably Teonge had in his mind a pas- sage in Athenseus, ' The Deipnosophists,' Lib. IX. cap. ii., or in Casaubon's editions, . 367A :

, OTl O-IVTCU TOVS (OTTO,? V T

In Schweighaeuser's edition, 1801-7, the Latin version is : " Sinapy vero (vel sinapi) nomi- natur, quoniam O-U/CTOU TOVS <57ras (laedit culos) olfactu."

Presumably the fanciful derivation is <riv rom (TtveTcu, and am or anv from turrets. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

' MEMOIRS OF FELIX NEFF ' (12 S. i. 309), In the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books there are fourteen items under " Neff (Felix)." Almost any one of )hese may be the book MR. LIMOUZIN is in search of ; but it is probably William Stephen Gilly's ' A Memoir of Felix Neff, Pastor of the High Alps ; and of his Labours among the French Protestants of Dauphine,' &c., London, 1832, 8vo. For these par- ticulars you must look in the Catalogue under
