ARNOLD OF RUGBY AND HEBREW. In a letter to Whately which Arnold wrote in 1835 occurs a very interesting passage about a Hebrew scholar

" of whom I took a few lesson-;, ninl who was learned in the writings of the Rabbis, but totally ignorant of all the literature of the West, ancient and modern."

Can any one tell me who this person was ? M. L. K. BRESLAR.

OLD MS. VERSES. I have lying before me a collection of verse in early eighteenth- century writing. I wish to know if the matter in it is original, or whether the poems and jeu d 1 esprit in it are copies. It contains amongst other things :

Dr. Lappeworth to the worthiest Dr. Budden.

On the chess-play.

Dr. Cprbett to the Lord Mordant.

In obitum Ho. Cecilii.

To the Comedians of Cambridge.

On young Tom of C. C. Dr. Corbett.

Dr. Donne on his departure from his loue.

I transcribe the following ; they may be well known, but I have not come across them :

J. Stone's Epitaph on himselfe

whilst he lay sicke.

Lo here I lie strecht out both hands and feete My Bed my graue, my shirt my winding sheete You neede not carue a Tomb-stone out for me A Tombe-Stone I unto myselfe will be.

Another.

Jerusalem's curse shall never light on me For here a stone upon a stone you see.

On the remove of Queen Elizabeths bodie from

Richmond to Whitehall by water. The Queene was brought by water to Whitehall At everie stroake teares from the oares did fall More clung about the barge ; fish under water Wept out their eyes of pearle and swam blind after I thinke the bargman might w th easier thighes Have rowed her thither through the peoples eyes For howsoever thus my thoughts have scan'd Sh' had come by water had she come by land.

On Queene Anne who dying in March, was kept unburied till Aprill and interred in May

March w th his winds hath strucke a Cedar tall And weeping Aprill mournes the Cedar's fall And May intends her month rio flowers shall bring Since she hath lost the flower of the spring : Thus Marches winds have caused Aprill showers And yet sad May must loose her flower of flowers.

J. HAMBLEY HOWE, M.B.

[Is the poem by Donne Elegie XIIIL, which first appeared in the 1635 edition of his poems?]

MOONE OF BREDA : JACKSON. It is stated in JJurke's 'Extinct Baronetage' that Sir Abraham Cullen, the first baronet's father, married Mrs. Abigail Moone, of a noble house in Brabant ; and the Cullen family were also

an ancient family of Breda in the Duchy of Brabant.

Was there any relationship between this Moone family and Sir Anthony Jackson, who was knighted at Breda in Holland in 1650 ? WM. JACKSON PIGOTT.

Manor House, Dunclrum, co. Down.

OSBERT SALVIN, NATURALIST. I should be glad to learn the name of his mother, and the date of her marriage. The ' D.N.B.', First Supp. iii. 335, does not mention her. G. F. R. B.

DR. THOMAS FHEWEN practised at Rye and afterwards at Lewes, and died at Northiam, June 14, 1791. See 'D.X.B.,' xx. 274. I should be glad to ascertain par- ticulars of his parentage and the place of his birth. G. F. R. B.

AN ENGLISH ARMY LIST OF 1740.

(12 S. ii. 3, 43, 75, 84, 122, 129, 151, 163, 191,204.)

[!T has been suggested that this Army List, when completed in the columns of ' N. & Q.,' should be reprinted in book- form, embodying the " replies " con- tributed, and furnished with an Index of Names. If the volume should run to about 96pp., an edition, say, of 100 copies might be sold at 10s. 6d. each, the price per copy being much lower if a larger number were disposed of. Before coming to a decision it is neces- sary to consider the question of the number of copies for which a sale might with fair certainty be expected. Will readers, therefore, let us know if they would be prepared to purchase copies ? Such intimation involves no obligation, and is only asked for in order to ascer- tain whether there is in fact any demand for such a reprint.]
