KOTES AND QUERIES.

probably of an. earlier date than those made in the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is exactly like the illustration in Mr. Bradbury's ' History of Old Sheffield Plate,' described thus : " That shown to the left in the form of a teapot had a separate chamber with detachable lid " ; the date of this illustrated " Argyle " is 1795 ; but my brother's piece is unmarked.

EDWARD THE CONFESSOR'S CROWN (12 S. v. 238). The description given is in total variance with the Confessor's crown as figured upon either of his two great seals, and also with the crown in scenes where the Confessor appears in the Bayeux Tapestry. The above are illustrated in Charles Knight's ' Old England ' (1845) ; the Bayeux Tapestry presenting the crown as a plain band sur- mounted by fleurs-de-lis. Sir Henry Ellis appears to have accepted the seals as correct.

'Ton JONES' (12 S. v. 268, 303). The prophecy of Gibbon, that ' Tom Jones ' would outlive the imperial eagle of the House of Austria, is in his ' Memoirs of My Life and Writings,' in his ' Miscellaneous Works,' 1817, vol. i., p. 5. L. DUFF.

HAMILTON (12 S. v. 289). In the Order Books for General Gage's Brigade at Montreal, under Sunday, Nov. 8, 1761, is this announcement : Ci Hector Theophilus Cramartie, Esq., is appointed judge advocate to his Majesty's forces in N. America."

These Order Books have been printed with the ' Journals of Hon. William Hervey.' I cannot say whether Cramartie is a mis- reading or not. but it is so printed.

EMERSON'S 'ENGLISH TRAITS' (12 S.. v. 234, 275, 302). 8. Chestnut Street is one- of the principal business thoroughfares in Philadelphia. At least one other street (Walnut Street) in the city is named after a. tree, and I believe there are still others.

JOHN HOOLE, POET (8 S. ix. 307, 518), I am now able to add a little further informa- tion to my communication at the latter- reference, and also to show that Hoole was; descended from the Hooles of Sheffield.. The brief pedigree given below is com- piled from the Sheffield parish church L registers, the ' D.N.B.,' Gent's Mag., and. Foster's ' Alumni Oxonienses.' It is difficult to say who was the father of Robert Hoole who commences the pedigree, as there were- two Roberts baptized in 1654, viz. : Robert,, son of Robert Hoole, bapt. April 4, 1654 ; and Robert, son of John Hoole, bapt. Mar. 1,.. 1654-5. The father of Anna Barlow was: married in Sheffield, as the following entry- in the register proves :

beth Wadsworth of the same, widdowe, was pub- lished on the 10th. 17th, and 24th daiesot' Septemb- and was married on the 25th dale of September., 1654."
