 134 NOTES AND QUERIES. [i2s.viii. FEB. 12, 1921. The British Museum contains no copy of & Western Miscellany, nor does the Tercen- tenary Handlist refer to such a magazine. The Weekly Miscellany and Weekly Enter- tainer of Sherborne are correctly described in it. They are two distinct periodicals, not one and the same. Vol v. of the Weekly Miscellany, printed by " R. Goadby," pp. 1-660, began on Oct. 2, 1775 and ended -on Mar. 25, 1776. Vol. iii. of the Weekly Entertainer (the earliest at the British Museum) began with page 1 on Jan. 5, 1784. It was printed by M R. Goadby and Co." X. TERRESTRIAL GLOBES (12 S. viii 69). ^Globes have been known, as Prof. E. Raven- -stein has pointed out, from, at least, the latter part of the thirteenth century, Cam- pano having written and published 1261-4 a 'Tractatus de Sphera Solida ' in which he describes the manufacture of globes in J wood and metal. Thomas Hood published several works on nautical matters and amongst them ' The Use of both the Globes, Celestial and Terres- trial,' &c., in 1592. In 1594 Robertus Hues published a ' Tractatus de Globes et eorum Usu, accommodatus us qui Londini editi fiunt anno 1593, &c.' In the same year, 1594, M. Blundevile published a treatise on the subject and dedicated it to " all young gentlemen of this realm." In 1659 Joseph 3Moxon, hydrographer to the king published 'A Tutor to Astronomie, &c., or an easy and speedy way to know the use of both the Globes, Celestial and Terrestial.' Similar treatises were published by W. Fisher in 1680. In 1703 John Harris published a descrip- tion and " Uses " of both Globes which was issued again, revised, by Joseph Harris, third edition, 1734. This last was printed 'by Thomas Wright, who, in the advertise- ment, announced that he had made large Orrerys for noblemen and small ones for schools, and by E. Cushee who described himself as " Globe maker, &c." 3 in. in diameter and date from about 1800, -and one large one dated 1799. H. HANNAN. West Farleigb. A sixteenth-century globe was offered for sale in Munich in 1903 (Geographical .Journal, xxii., November, 1903, p. 573). Revue de Geographic, xxxvii., September, 1895, p. 175, is also quoted in the note. J. ARDAGH. ZELLA TRELAWNY (12 S. viii. 88). See "Deaths " in The Times of May 11, 1906. Zella Trelawny Olguin, widow of Joseph Olguin, M.R.C.S., and daughter of John Edward Trelawny, died at Hove, Sussex, on May 8, 1906. The Times, on Mar. 27, 1912, recorded the death on Mar. 26, at Streatham, of Joseph Trelawny Olguin, Trelawny 's grandson, aged 56. He had been manager of the River Plate Gas Company, Buenos Ayres. STEPHEN WHEELER. Oriental Club, Hanover Square. ' MRS. DRAKE REVIVED ' (12 S. viii. 88). The book referred to is " The Firebrand taken out of the Fire ; Or,. The Wonderfull History, Case and Cure of M is Drake, sometimes the wife of Francis Drake of Esher Esq." (London, 1647, 1654, ar.d 1782.) The secondary title is ' Trodden downe Strength, or, Mrs. Drake Revived.' It is a pitiable tale of a lady (Miss Joan Tothill) married against her will, who fell into melancholy and occasional hysterics, and was only released from them by death. Xo fewer than six divines interested themselves in the case, namely Mr. Dod (probably John Dod of Jesus College, Cambridge, d. 1645) ; Archbishop Ussher ; John Forbes (the pastor at Middelburg, d. 1634), who, after a " tough dispute," was quite out-matched by her ; Robert Bruce (of Edinburgh, d. 1631), who composed a ' ' patheticall speech" for the lady to address to Satan, here printed in full (in which the addressee is soundly trounced) ; Thomas Hooker, who subse- quently went to New England : and Dr. John Preston, afterwards Master of Em- manuel College, Cambridge (d. 1628). One " thundering preacher, Mr. [John] Rogers of Dedham " (d. 1636) wisely declined to inter- fere in any way. John Dod was the most persistent tormentor, being in and out of the house from the first, until at last after some ecstatic visions the poor woman died quietly. It may be doubted whether her husband used judicious measures to cure the melancholy, for when Mistress Drake heard Mr. Dod coming and flew upstairs to her room and locked the door, Mr. -Drake " took tie great iron forke in his hand, and run up after her, threatning to beat down the door." As to Mr. Bruce, she " now having a fit person to rough hew her (as it were), whom she could neither weary out nor over-come in Argument. .. .there every way fell out strong disputes betwixt thexn...^ Satan delighting still to rase new uprores in her.'
