NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. n. JULY i, 1916.

Godliness,' the cripple's name as John Trelille. and the date of the cure as 1641.

John Wesley fully believed in this cure, as Souther points out. Is there any authenticated case of a cure at this well subsequent to that of 1641 ?

JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

" XlHIL ARDET IN INFERNO NISI PROPRIA

VOLUNTAS." Where does St. Bernard say this ? JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

F. GRANDINEAU, PROFESSOR OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AT WESTMINSTER COL- LEGE. Where can one find an account of F. Grandineau ? He is interesting as having taken part in the education of Queen Victoria, and as being the author of the following books :

1. 'Le Petit Pre"cepteur; or, First Step to French Conversation.' (London, 1832 and 1875.)

2. "Conversations Familieres: or, Conversational Lessons ; for the use of Young Ladies : respectfully dedicated to Her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria. By F. Grandineau, French Master to Her Royal Highness, and Professor of the French Language at Westminster College, &c.,&c.. Author of ' Le Petit Precepteur.' Kensington : Printed for the Author, by W. Birch. 1832."

Of this the 12th edition appeared in 1858.

3. ' II Piccolo Precettore.' (London, 1853.)

4. "Grammaire Royale, ouvrage e"crit pour

servir a 1'instruction de Son Altesse Royale La Princesse Victoria d' Angleterre, par F. Grandineau. Londres: 1835."

The ' Preface ' of this ends thus :

" Les progres faits sous 1'influence de ces vues par une auguste eleve, ont encourage" mes essais. La purete de sa diction, le choix heureux de ses expressions. 1'aisance qui caracterise ses entretiens dans cette langue. m'ont permis de rapporter une partie de ces succes au choix des moyens, et m'ont donne la hardiesse de presenter le resultat de mon travail au public sous le patronage de 1'illustre Princesse qui a daigne en agrer la oMdicace."

SIR PATRICK WALSH. Can any corre- spondent of ' X. & Q.' give me the names of the children, and the maiden name of the

wife (Anne ?), of Sir Patrick Walsh,

Mayor of Waterford in 1578, whose Preroga- tive will was dated or proved in 1600 ? WM. JACKSON PIGOTT.

Manor House, Dundrum, co. Down.

INHERITED FAMILY LIKENESSES. Is there any reason to believe that family likenesses, that is, from father to son, persist as a general thing, through countless generations If so, has this been proved, in any consider- able number of cases, where the likenesses

(portraits, daguerreotypes, or photographs) have been preserved through six or seven generations ? I myself do not see why, because we bear the name of one of our sixteen great-great-grandparents, we are more likely to resemble him (from whom we inherit only one sixteenth of our blood) rather than any of the other fifteen.

In the case of a family which has inter- married during hundreds of years, such as he Habsburgs, one can understand how some prominent features have been carried down in all its branches. QUIEN SABE.

[Some interesting examples of the kind sought for will be found at 9 S. vii. 472 (tub ' Adam Buck'), and also ibid. viii. 62, 169, 268, 335, 369, 448.]

CECILIA MARIA DE CANDIA. I have lately acquired an aneroid which once belonged to Bishop Samuel Wilberforce. It bears the 'ollowing inscription : " To the Lord Bishop of Winchester, in grateful remembrance of 19 Feb., 1872. From Cecilia Maria De Candia." I should be grateful for any information about this lady.

SEATS IN CHURCH : ORDERS BY BISHOPS. In 1287, at his synod of Exeter, Bishop Quivil ordered

" that, except noblemen and patrons, no one should call any seat in church his own ; but he who shall

first enter the church for the sake of praying may take his place where he will." Wilkins's 'Con- cilia,' ed. 1737, vol. ii. p. 140.

I should be glad to know of any other orders made by bishops before the nineteenth century with regard to seats in church, whether general orders such as the above, or with respect to any particular church.

ENQUIRER.
