298 NOTES AND QUERIES. [wax.APBiLi6.igji. day terms him "Berenger's clerk," "Thou Bourgeois Gentilhomme"; and Walpole calls him "a ridiculous object," and "that old rag of a dishclout ministry." He died on Aug. 28, 1756, and his collection of pictures at Gunnersbury Park was sold about 1758. Berenger was Moses Berenger, a merchant. "G. E. C." presumes this Henry Furnese to be a cousin of Sir Henry Furnese, Bart., of Waldershare, Kent, and says he was M.P. for Romney.

Henry Furnese of Gunnersbury, Esq., who was trustee of the marriage settlement of Katherine, widow of Lewis, Earl of Rock- ingham, and daughter of Sir Robert Furnese, Bart., on her marriage with Francis, Earl of Guildford, in 1751, and died unmarried in August, 1756, leaving his sister, Elizabeth Peirce, widow, his heiress -at-law. She was described as of Gunnersbury, where she con- veyed the trust estate in 1757. He appears to have been a Lord of the Treasury and ! M.P. Morpeth 1738-41, New Romney | 1741-56. Musgrave's Obituary gives the| date of his death as Aug. 28 ; The Gentle- mail's Magazine as Aug. 30. He is referred to in Ly sons' s * Environs ' and also by Faulkner, who calls him Turner, in the of this name who sat for Dover 1720-34, but whether he was the same as the M.P. for New Romney or not I cannot say. J. B. WHITMORE. STORY BY EDGAR ALLAN POE WANTED (12 S. x. 230). The story required is entitled ' Berenice ' and can be found in certain editions of ' Tales of Mystery and Imagination,' by Edgar Allan Poe. My edition is illustrated by Harry Clarke and published by George G. Harrap and Co., Ltd. (1919). BEATRICE BOYCE. AUTHORS WANTED. (12S. x. 252.) 3. The lines wanted are to be found in ' The Gude and Godlie Ballates ' (1578), reprinted in 1868, the first of eleven stanzas running thus : " The Paip, that pagane full of pryde, He hos vs blindit lang ; f For quhair the blind the blind dois gyde, Na wonder thay ga wrang : Lyke prince and king he led the ring Of all iniquitie : Hay trix, tryme go trix, Vnder the grene [wod-tree]." David Laing's note is : "In this satirical effusion, the expressions used evidently refer to events when the Protestants, under the name of The Congregation, had taken matters into their own hands, or, to the year 1559. " H. M. C. M. " The Pope, that pagan full of pride," &c. This is the beginning of the old song ' Trim-go- trix,' which first appeared in " A Compendious Book of Godly and Spiritual Songs . . . with Augmentation of Sundrie Gude and Godly Ballates. Edinbro, printed by Andrs Hart." It is best known, perhaps, from ito having been appropriated by Scott in ' The Abbot,' as being sung by the followers of the Abbot of Unreason when they invade the Abbey Church. The title ' Trim-go-trix ' is taken from the refrain. T. F. D. The lines, " The Paip, that pagan full of pride, Hath blinded us ower lang," and the lines immediately succeeding, are in- troduced in Scott's novel, ' The Abbot,' as taken, with some trifling alterations, from a sixteenth- century ballad called ' Trim-go-trix.' See chap. xv. of the novel and the footnote. C. L. SAYER. (12 S. x. 94, 159.) At the second reference a correspondent attri- butes the lines beginning " Lord, for to-morrow and its needs," to " the late Sister Xavier " of Liver- pool, without date. I have also heard it attributed to Samuel Wilberforce. It appears as Hymn No. 676, " Anon., 1880," in the Canadian Church of England Hymn Book compiled in 1909. When this hymnal appeared in 1910 in Canada an odd incident occurred. A newspaper clipping in my possession dated October, 1910, records the fact that on Oct. 2, 1910, one William Huckle of Hamilton, Ontario, formerly of London, England, wrote from the Penitentiary, Kingston, Ont., where he was serving a seven-year term for ob- taining money under false pretences, to the Bt. Bev. Charles Hamilton, Bishop of Ottawa, and chairman of the Hymn-Book Compilation Committee, claiming authorship of Hymn 676 (popularly known as " Just for To-day "), and giving a circumstantial story of how he came to write it. Huckle declared that in July, 1878, whilst addressing an open-air meeting in Hyde Park, London, on " Infidelity versus Christian- ity," he got into an argument with an infidel listener over the words " Give xis this day our daily bread," and the same evening wrote the hymn, of which 20,000 copies were shortly printed over Huckle's name by a printer named Fred Crawley. Further copies of the hymn were printed and circulated (continued Huckle) hi 1883, 1887 and 1898. Huckle's letter to Bishop Hamilton in 1910 created much talk at the time and though his statement was contradicted I never heard of any circumstantial disproof. Is it not possible to identify the author beyond doubt ? A. T. W. Toronto. on poofes. The Problem of Style. By J. Middleton Murry. (Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press. 6s. 6d. net.) As its author remarks, the contents of this book " were written as lectures not as essays," and they so far retain the attitude of argumentative appeal to an actually present audience as to lose,
