 230 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s.vm. MARCH 19, 1921. If so his son's and grandson's connexion with Gervase son of Roger falls into natural lines. The Herbert -Finches, Earls of Winchilsea, claim descent from him and if the above affiliation hold good it affords the earliest confirmation of the traditional descent of the Hoberds of Norfolk, Huberds of Essex and Huberds of Kent from a common ancestor. It poses one other conundrum. Who was this first Hubert the Chamberlain ? The 'D.N.B.' says under FitzHerbert, little is certainly known of him, though he was father of the second Hubert Camerarius and of a " Saint " and Archbishop of York, and is said to have married Emma, sister of King Stephen. Query C. Was he son of Hubert, son, with Adam and Eudo, of Hubert de Rie ? In the De Rie pedigree this Hubert Fitz- Hubert, of Norwich, had two sons, Henry, died s.p. before 1162, and another Hubert, dead before 1158, who might be our (first) Chamberlain, and he had a son also Hubert who might have been our (second) Cham- berlain had not this Hubert died, as is said, without male issue, while the (second) Chamberlain left a son, Richard de Anesty and a line of successors. If the compiler of the De Rie pedigree did not know the De Anestys were " sons of Hubert," he may have assumed without proof the failure of his male issue. If we identify Hubert or Herbert the Chamberlain of Henry I. with Hubert or Herbert the grandson of Hubert de Rie, we not only bring all the above-named within the circle of Eudo " Dapifer's " immediate family, but we have a fairly exact pedigree of the descendants of Hubert de Rie and of the ascendants of Gervase de Cornhill, which Kent genealogists would value. PERCY HULBTJRD. 124 Inverness Terrace, W. ROBERT J}ICKSON.- I seek genealogical information regarding (1) Robert (born 1794-6) the sixth son of Admiral William Dickson, of Sydenham House, Roxburgh, by his second wife Elizabeth, dau. of James Charteris, whom he married in 1786, and (2) Robert (born Jan. 21, 1790, at Edin- burgh), the fifth or sixth son of Samuel Dickson, builder and contractor of Edin- burgh, by his wife Agnes, youngest dau. of Thomas Baillie, millwright, on the Water of Leith. burgh, whose family motto was "Fortes fortuna juvat," married Jean Lucas, sister of Dr. Lucas, an Edinburgh surgeon, and it is thought that he may have been either the one or the other of the two mentioned above, the former of whom has the same family motto. Robert Dickson had a numerous issue, including James Creighton Dickson, Richard Dickson, Robert Dickson, John Dickson, Alexander Dickson, and, I think, Joseph Dickson. One of the sons, Richard, I think, became a partner in the firm of James Thomson & Sons, Ltd., distillers, Leith. Any information will be esteemed.

If any reader could give me a list of the titles of the papers or publications issued by the Shelley Society, I should be very grateful. I have understood that there were other and special publications of the Society beside the regular Proceedings. I should also be grateful for the titles of any good bibliography, or bibliographies, of John Keats, published since that included in W. M. Rossetti's 'Life of Keats' (1887). I am anxious for particulars of Keatsiana and Keats' s first editions, rather than for literary criticism or appreciation. I am acquainted with E. de Selincourt's brief bibliography. Some time since I inquired in your columns for a list of the bibliographical writings of Mr. Thomas J. Wise. I should like to take this opportunity for thanking the writer of the Reply for the complete information furnished. E. G. BTJTTRICK. 307 Wilder Street, Lowell, Mass. RICHD. GAMWEL (CAMWEL), CLOCKMAKER. I have a green lacquer long case clock in my possession with the name " Richd. Gamwel," or perhaps " Richd. Camwell," engraved on either side of the figure VI. at the base of the dial. I should be grateful if any of your readers could supply par- ticulars as to date and place, or any other details likely to be of interest regarding the above-named maker. P. J. T. TEMPLER.
