To these may be added, (a) a pocket guide to St. Omer (Guide Pratique, pp. 24) with excellent plan of the town, arid (b) a Series of Twenty Postcard Views of ' Vieux Saint- Omer,' reproduced in sepia from old prints and engravings. Both of these are published by the Librairie Maurice Jeanjean.

Such a list of books and pamphlets relat- ing to local history and antiquities picked up more or less casually during war time in a town of 20,000 inhabitants, is, I venture to think, rather exceptional, and indicates a more than usual intellectual activity.

Of the writers named above the Abbe Bled is described as ' Chanoine honoraire d' Arras ' ; the Abbe Delamotte ' Aumonier du Lycee de Saint-Omer, officier d'Acade- mie ' ; M. Loisel ' Agrege des Lettres, Pro- fesseur au Lycee de Grenoble ' ; the Abbe Dusautoir ' Beneficier a la Basilique Notre- Dame, Membre titulaire de la Societe des Antiquaires de la Morinie, de la Commission des Monuments historiques du Pas -de-Calais, et de la Societe Francaise d'Archeologie ' ; the Abbe Lehembre 'Directeur au College Saint-Bertin ' ; Abbe Lesenne ' Aumonier du Lycee de Saint-Omer, Membre titulaire de la Societe des Antiquaires de la Morinie, officier d'Academie ' ; and M. Justin de Pas ' Secretaire-General de la Societe des Antiquaires de la Morinie.' M. Justin de Pas is the author of more than a score of

papers, or monographs, on the history and antiquities of St. Omer. The various- chapters of ' A Travers le vieux Saint-Omer ' appeared originally in the * Independant du Pas-de-Calais,' a local newspaper.

Among the illustrations of this book is a reproduction of an undated English engrav- ing entitled 'View from the Ramparts of St. Omer.' The drawing shows the Rue du Bourg and the south-west portion of the former cathedral, and is described as by 'C. F. Tomkins from a sketch by J. R. Planche. Engraved on stone by T. S. Cooper. ' M. de Pas ascribes the engraving , to about 1820, but I think it must be at least five years later. Planche went to Reims in 1825 to witness the Coronation of Charles X. y and probably made his sketch at that period. Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' supply the date of publication of this engraving ? The book also contains a plan of St. Omer by J. de Deventer, c. 1560.

St. Omer, during the later Middle Ages, passed under the rule successively of the Counts of Flanders and Artois, the Dukes of Burgundy, the House of Austria, and of Spain. But until 1493 it had always pre- served some connexion with France. By the Treaty of Senlis in that year, however, the King of France renounced Artois, and * ' the Burgundian inheritance passed to the House of Austria," and so for a time to the German world. With the accession of Charles V. to power in the Netherlands began a century and a half of Spanish domination. Even when Artois was restored to France by the Treaty of the Pyrenees, in 1659, St. Omer remained Spanish, and so continued till the Treaty of Nymegen (1678) finally made it French. F. H. CHEETHAM.
