 12 S. VIII. MARCH 26, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 249 the Scenes of Life he is engaged in .... cannot help feeling some Concern for his Fame. I shall present you with my true History, but as some Account has already appear'd of my Life, though not under my own Inspection, I shall order my Historiographer to begin with my first voyage to AMERICA, only mentioning somewhat of my Birth and Family, .... &c." The words I have italicised show that (one or more) editions of an * Account of his Life and Doings ' ; had been issued before that with which Goadby is associated, as is mentioned by MB. DE CASTRO. The next Goadby edition, which in the " Davidson " Collection has on the title- page " second edition, with considerable additions," corresponds to that described by J.P.O., Oct. 24, 1857, which he mentions as having the imprint " Third Edition." In other respects the contents appear to correspond, and especially in the date attached to the address "To the Reader," viz., "Feby. 10th, 1749-50." This is there- fore evidently a repetition from the second edition with Goadby' s name. Like the writer in your 2nd. Series iv. I apprehend it may not be an " easy under- taking " to settle the authorship of the earliest issued Accounts of Carew's Life, but I hope we may look to MB. J. PAUL DE CASTBO to give us further and fuller parti- culars of those which seem clearly to be referred to by Carew as having been issued but " not under his own inspection." May we take it that they are to be found in MB. DE CASTBO' s own collection ? Was " T. P., Tiverton," who wrote in ' N. & Q.,' Dec. 26, 1857, the Thomas Price referred to by MB. DE CASTBO ? W. S. B. H. MABIA DICKSON=DB. DOMINICK LYNCH. I seek the name of the parents of Maria Dickson who was married to Dr. Dominick Lynch of Barbadoes, and died July 7, 1830. Is it possible that she was a daughter of James Dickson, slave owner, of St. Mary's Isle, Jamaica ? JAMES SETON-ANDEBSON. 39 Carlisle Road, Hove, Sussex. JENKINSON AND DUCK FAMILIES. I should be grateful for any educational and other details respecting Richard Jenkinson, Vicar of Ottery, Philip Jenkinson, and the Rev. John Duck of Dunchideock, and Richard Duck of Doddiscombsleigh, who were all living about 1720. A. T. M. HEBCULES UNDEBHILL was admitted to Westminster School in January, 1737/8, aged 9. Can any correspondent of ' N. & Q.' help me to identify him ? G. F. R. B. DOUBLE FIBSTS AT OXFOBD. Sir J. T. Coleridge wrote (' Memoir of Keble,' chap. 4): " Up to 1810 no one had earned the distinction of being placed in both First Classes but Sir Robert Peel, with whose examination in 1808 the University was ringing when I matriculated." Peel had gone from private schools and Harrow to Christ Church. Keble was privately educated by his father, till he went to Corpus Christi, and was next after Peel to take Double Firsts, at Easter, 1810, at the age of 18. Francis William Newman, from private schools to Worcester, took Double Firsts in 1826 : " On receiving the degree the whole assembly rose to welcome him, an honour paid only to Peel on similar occasion " (' D.N.B.') How many ethers have taken Double Firsts, and is there anywhere a list ? W. DOUGLAS 31 Sandwich Street, W.C.I. SHEBINGTON : OLD CHUBCH REGISTEBS. Browne Willis, who visited Sherington, co. Bucks, about 1720, stated that the old registers of the church there had been removed by the executors of the late rector. This would be the Rev. Ignatius Fuller, who died circa 1712. Can any reader assist me to trace these ? If still in existence they are presumably in private hands. A. C. C. Chiswick. ROSE-COLOUBED VESTMENTS ON MOTHEB- ING SUNDAY. In my little book on Mother- ing Sunday I quoted from John Bumpus's ' Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Terms,' as to the use of rose-coloured vestments. This quotation has not been received without question. I should be most grateful for evidence on the subject as I am anxious that the next edition of my little book ' The Revival of Mothering Sunday' shall be as accurate as possible. CONSTANCE PENSWICK SMITH. 6 Regent Street, Nottingham. VABIATIONS IN GBAY'S ' ELEGY.' In The Periodical for February of this year a fac- simile of lines 73-84 in the Cambridge MS. is given. Was this Gray's original or first MS. ? According to Mason's text the variations consist of the use of capitals in "Crowds," "Vale of Life," " Tenour," " Bones," " Insult," " Memorial," "Rhimes," "Sculpture," "Tribute," "Muse," "Place of Fame," " Epitaph," " Text," and " Mora- list" ; in the spelling of " Tenour," " S^ellt " and " Rhimes " ; in the use of " Epitaph " in
