How many English editions have there been ? There was one published by Blackie & Son in 1903, and another by G. Routledge & Sons in 1909. Its continued popularity is shown by Mr. E. V. Lucas's * Swollen- headed William,' which appeared in 1914 ; and by ' The Struwwelpeter Alphabet ' and ' The Political Struwwelpeter,' both by Mr. Harold Begbie, which appeared in or about 1900. JOHN B. WAINEWBJGHT.

" LICK INTO SHAPE " : " LAMBENDO EFFINGERE." The latter phrase is attributed by Suetonius in his Life of Virgil, 22, to that poet with reference to the ' Georgics.' Is there a Greek equivalent ?

JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT.

Union Club, Trafalgar Square, S.W.I.

COLERIDGE ON " BULLY." Coleridge in his ' Omniana,' speaking of inconsistency, says :

" What are these men's minds but a huge lumber-room of bully, that is, of incompatible notions brought together by a feeling without a sense of connection ? "

What is the origin of Coleridge's " bully " ?

J. J. FREEMAN. Shepperton -on -Tb ames.

J. TURNER, PAINTER c. 1820. Some AVelsh pictures by J. Turner were engraved and published March and April, 1821. Was he related to J. M. W. Turner ?

OCTAVIUS TOMS ON.

7 Grantchester Street, Cambridge.

' IRRELAGH ; OR, THE LAST OF THE CHIEFS.' Who was the author of this Irish story ? The copy I possess is bereft of its title-page. All that I can glean concerning it is provided by the dedication (to Queen Victoria). It was written at Danesport, Killarney, in 1849, and was published "to alleviate in some degree that affliction [the great famine of 1848], especially in the case of two poor boys, left destitute by the failure of the Killarney Savings' Bank."

J. B. McGovERN.

St. Stephen's Rectory, C.-on-M., Manchester.

MORLAND GALLERY, FLEET STREET. Sir Richard Phillips says in the 1806 edition of ' The Picture of London ' (p. 259) :

" This gallery comprises one hundred paintings of this admired artist. . . .They are the property of a private gentleman."

I shall be obliged by further reference to this exhibition. Presumably it was held at Macklin's Gallery and J. R. Smith was the organizer. It will be recalled that his exhibition of thirty-six pictures at 31 King

Street, Covent Garden, was specifically for he purpose of attracting subscribers for the ingravings, all the pictures exhibited being

afterwards engraved. The catalogue of prints issued by Smith from this address

'ncludes there works. Is there any definite evidence of his association with the Fleet

Street exhibition ? ALECK ABRAHAMS.

FINKLE STREET. There are streets so named at Barton-on-Humber and at Kendal. I should be glad to hear of other examples also of any explanation of a supposed derivation of " Finkle " from a word mean- ng a bend or elbow, or similar deviation rom a straight line. J. T. F.

Winterton, Lines.

[The subject was discussed at some length at 6 S. iv. 166, 366, 467 ; v. 257, 476 ; viii. 503, 522.]

MARTIN HETON, Bishop of Ely, is stated in the ' Diet. Nat. Biog.,' xxvi. SOI, to have left two daughters, one of whom was married to Sir Robert Filmer and the other to Sir Edward Fish. Can any corre- spondent tell me when and whom Heton married ? G. F. R. B.

EDWARD HYDE, D.D., Royalist divine, was one of the eleven sons of Sir Lawrence Hyde of Salisbury. I should be glad to obtain particulars of his mother, and to know when and whom he married. The these points. G. F. R. B.
 * Diet. Nat. Biog.,' xxviii. 369, is silent on

FRENCH PROVERB ON POLITICS. There is a French saying, " Dans la politique il faut ne prendre rien au tragique et tout au serieux." This has been attributed to Thiers, but some say it is much older. To whom is it rightly ascribed ?

HENRY SAMUEL BRANDRETH.

ST. DUNSTAN'S - IN - THE - EAST : ITS CHARITIES AND SCHOOLS. Can any reader give me details of educational charities, schools, &c., connected with the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the-East, London, prior to 1888 ? I shall deem it a favour if corre- spondence be addressed directly to me.

G. KENNETH STRUGNELL.

A " CREST " OF CREST - CLOTH is men- tioned in the N.E.D.' as having been a recognized quantity of the cloth, but the quantity is not defined. Is it known what it was ? The Winchester College accounts show (under custus aule) that in 1442-3 the price per ell for 17| ells of crest-cloth was 4^d., and that in 1443-4 the price per crest
