NOTES AND QUERIES.

[ 12 8. V. OCT., 1919.

The fullest information, relative to his career would be of interest to me. Garrick, I believe, held him up to public scorn,, but I forget the details. He receives notice in Hogarth's scurrilous print of Whitefield preaching, the " Medley," and there is an extant portrait of him, but where I do not know.

To indicate the references known to me, I furnish the following very incomplete bibliography :

1. Tyerman's, Wesley, Whitefield, and Oxford

Methodists.

2. Life and Times of Selina, Countess of Hunting-

don.

3. Biography o f Robt. Robinson. By Jared

Sparks.

4. A True and Particular Narrative of the

Disturbances in Norwich, 1752. f>. The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. By T. Keymer,

J. /O^.

6. A Reply to the Scandalous Papers of Mrs. M n

and Mr. T. K r, 1754.

7. The Fawning Sycophant Display'd. By

T. Keymer, 1754.

8. Gentleman's Magazine, 1752, and Feb. 3. 1756.

9. Minutes of Conference, 1749.

10. A Summary View of the Doctrines of Method-

ism, &c. 1753.

11. An Address to the Protestant Dissenters of the

established congregations in Norwich, circ. 1753. No copy known.

12. Whitehall Evening Post of 1752.

13. The Methodists, an Eclogue. By John Robin-

son. No copy known to me.

14. An Extract of the Life and Death of John

Janeway. By James Wheatley, 1749. No copy known to me.

15. Larkin's History of Methodism in Norwich.

No copy known to me.

17. Norfolk Notes and Queries, vol. ii. pp. 159,312.

18. Wesley's Journal, passim.

With the exception of those to which contrary indication is placed, all the above works are either in the British Museum or the Norwich Public Free Library.

J. C. WHITEBRQOK. 24 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn, W.C.2.

' QUENTIN DUBWABD.' I should be grate- rul for any help in solving the following points ; the references are to the pages in the Oxford Scott :

1. " The wink with which our village Packwood used to communicate the news of the morning." Introd. of 1823, p. xx. Packwood was presumably a barber, but whence did Scott get him ?

2. Where can I find some details of Martin Dominique, the artist who made "the famous cups of Tours" ? Chap, iv., p. 40.

3. What is the meaning of Dunois's remark to Louis : " Your Majesty owes the house of Orleans at least one happy

marriage" ? In return for what ? and why- " at least one " ? Chap, ix., p. 111.

4. Whence are the lines of " the old ballad-maker"

With many a cross-bearer before, And many a spear behind ?

Chap, xviii., p. 224.

5. What is the source of " the old college- jest, sero venientibus ossa " ? Chap, xix.^ p. 239.

6. Who was the " active political agent " of whom it was said that " his finger was in- every man's palm, his mouth was io. every man's ear " ? Chap, xxxi., p. 392.

7. I presume the motto to chap, xxxiv.,. p. 425:

I '11 take thee to the good green wood

And make thine own hand choose the tree, though purporting to be from an * Old Ballad,' is Scott's.

8. Is it possible to trace " be hush'd, my dark spirit." Introd. of 1823, p. xxi,

I may add that I have run to earth Aboulcasem, who was asked for in 8 S, i. ; he is in Namby Pamby's ' Persian Tales.' C. B. WHEELEK.

LOBD [JOHN] VAUGHAN. Can any of your readers give me any information as to Lord [John] Vaughan, son, I believe, of the Earl* of Carbery, whose title is now extinct, though there appears still to be an Earl of Carbery, and also inform me of the parentage of his niece who, while he was Governor of Jamaica 1674 to 1678 married David' de Hennin. I should be very glad of any information as to the de ancestre of the- de Henin or Dehany family in Jamaica and' as to Dr. Dallas of Dallas Castle and James Kerr or Carr who was living there in the- eighteenth century. G. D. McGBiGOB.

3 Carlton Hill, Exmouth.

' TOM JONES.' Gibbon made a prophecy that ' Tom Jones ' would outlive the- Imperial eagle of Austria. This prophecy came true last year. But can any reader give me the reference to when and where- Gibbon said it ? DE V. PA YEN-PAYNE.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED.

1. 1 should be glad to know the author of the^ following lines, and where they appear :

The kiss of the sun for pardon,

The song of the bird for mirth One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.

RICHARD HEAPE.

[These lines are the last of four verses of a sacretB song entitled * God's Garden ' by D. F. Gurney*. published by Chappell & Co.]

2. And the low plashing of the sea

Their everlasting threnody. LUCES.
