285-

It is very difficult to know if before the Reformation one really used the two forms of the name together, on account of the Latinizing of the names and surnames in written deeds (e.g., Jacobus de Conca, de Spina). But we do not know whether the common people said James and Jacob or not. The former has prevailed since the Refor- mation, but I do not think that that proves it was not formerly used in the spoken language.

As is well known, the religious relations were close between England and Spain during the thirteenth century. Many pil- grims used to go from this country to worship the saint who had fought so gallantly against the Saracens together with St. George. It is possible that we may therefore find the origin of the form Jame in the Spanish Jaime, which is almost identical. I am assuming that the Spaniards at this time (in the X.W. of Spain, at any rate) did not pronounce the " J " in the modern aspirated fashion, but I should be glad to be enlightened on this point. The name could also be introduced by written inscriptions under images and tokens.

James is probably derived from Gk. 'IaKw/3os, through the It. Giacomo, rather than from Lat. Jac6bus. It was in use in England as early as the twelfth century, and in France and Scotland in the thirteenth. In Spain there are no fewer than four variants of the name: Diego, lago, lacobo, and Jaime. In 1207 the Aragonese form Jay me has been noted. N. W. HILL.

PORTRAITS BY JAMES LONSDALE (11 S. x. 189, 231, 273). St. Cuthbert's College at Ushaw possesses a portrait of John Lingard, D.D., painted by James Lonsdale: three- quarter size, seated ; table with writing materials to his right ; pen in right hand ; painted 1834. Size 56 by 44 inches. The historian was born at Winchester, Feb. 5, 1771, and died at Hornby, Lancaster, July 13, 1851. THOS. WHITE.

OLD FLEMISH BURIAL-GROUND, LONDON (12 S. iii. 129). A short notice of this cemetery may be found in ' The London Burial - Grounds,' by Mrs. Basil Holmes (1896), p. 165. It is 'as follows :

" The Flemish burial-ground was in the district of St. Olave's, Southwark. It adjoined a chapel in Carter Lane, and before its demolition was used as an additional graveyard by the parishes of St. Olave and St. John, especially the former. When the

railway to Greenwich was made this ground dis- appeared, and part of its site forms the approach to- London Bridge Station.''

At the same reference is a repro- duction of print (c. 1817) showing the old Queen Elizabeth Free Grammar School in Tooley Street, with the burial-ground in question in the foreground ; and a full-page copy of the same print may also be found in Walford's ' Old and New London ' (ed. c. 1880), vi. 103.

ADMIRALS HOOD (12 S. iii. 129, 199). One hesitates to criticize such an authority as the REV. A. B. BEAVEN, but is he quite right in describing Alexander Hood as of " Misterton, co. Devon l5 ? Should the place not be Mosterton ? and if Mosterton, it is in Dorsetshire. I know of no Misterton in Devonshire. There is one in Somerset, and Misterton and Mosterton are within three miles of each other.

There is a long account of this in the contemporary Mirror of Literature, Amuse- ment, and Instruction magazine, together with a folding plate of the tournament ; another is in ' The New Tablet of Memory,' 1841. ' Old and New London,' v. p. "85 (1877), says that on the. "Lots" at Chelsea, in 1863,

" a sensational entertainment on a scale of great splendour was given, in the shape of a revival of the Eglinton tournament. A large number of persons took part in it .... clad in an almost endless variety of shining armour."

I have more than once seen the statement as to the old armour being found too small for wear in 1839, but cannot give the references. W. B. H.

MR. R. M. HOGG may be glad to know that there is a capital and somewhat de- tailed account of this affair to be found in
