DE QUINCEY OR QUINCY. Can any of your readers give me any information con- cerning the De Quincey, or Quincy, family in connexion with the county of Lincolnshire ? Is this branch of the family descended from Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester ?

The De Quincey family held large estates in Scotland prior to the time of Robert Bruce. Is it known in what locality their lands existed ?

I believe that this ancient and now practically extinct family occupied as important a position in Scotland as the English branch did in England. The arms are : Gules, seven mascles or. Crest : a wyvern's head. N. F. L. HALL.

AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED. I should be particularly glad to know the author of the fol- lowing fine verses : If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man

is doing,

If you like him, or you love him, tell him now ; Don't withhold your approbation till the parson

makes oration, And he lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow.

If he earns your praise, bestow it ; if you like him,

let him know it :

Let the words of true encouragement be said ; Do not wait till life is over, and he's underneath

the clover,

For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.

E. E. LEGGATT. Little Park, Enfield, Middlesex.

PRINCE CHARLES IN NORTH DEVON.

(12 S. vi. 36.)

MR. A. CARRINGTON states, from a reference to the Northam parish register, that " Prince Charles was at Appledore July 10, 1645," and asks whether his movements earlier in that year are known and recorded.

May I, as one who has taken a great deal of interest in the movements in the west of England of Charles II. both as prince and (de jure) king and who has recorded some of these in the pages of 'N. & Q.,'* refer your correspondent to a paper of mine, entitled ' Charles II. in the Channel Islands,' which I read at a meeting of the Dorset Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club at Lyme Regis on Sept. 13, 1904, and which is printed in the Society's Proceedings for that year (vol. xxv., p. 172) ? This paper was founded on Dr. S. Elliott Hoskins's very interesting work bearing the same title and published in two vols. in 1854 which was based on the MS. ' Journal ' of John Chevalier, a contemporary chronicler of remarkable events occurring in Jersey during the Civil Wars from about the commence- ment of 1643 to February, 1650. This Journal, written in French, contains many transcripts from original documents. Dr. Hoskins also largely refers to the Clarendon State Papers, and the Clarendon MSS. in the Bodleian Library, together with French and other authorities and sources. So that we are provided with a long and interesting account of Charles's two visits to Jersey and of the events which led up to them.
