W. R. DAVIES. Here are a few to add to MB. McGovERN's list : Pelmanize, grangerize, bowdlerize, gal- vanize, christen, devil (as in "devilled" kidneys), kyanize, guillotine, sandwich and Vandyke. All the above are used as verbs in common speech. If the connexion be extended to nouns and adjectival phrases the list will become very large, for all the arts, crafts and sciences may be drawn upon. Here are a Jew that suggest them- selves as examples : Bunsen, Herepath blow- pipe, Pinchbeck, Bessemer steel, plaster of Paris, Keene's cement, a bottle of Bass, a Bradshaw, a Ford, a Limousine, tram, shillabeer, a Jim Crow, Joule, Watt and Ohm give their names to units of measure- ment. A gamp and a yorker are well known. A Caesarian operation is a medical example. In the realms of dress there are bowler, billycock, and the soft hat that used to be calied Alpine and afterwards Homburg, Wellington and blucher boots, macintosh, raglan, inverness, Shakespeare collars and, I suppose, dozens of others named after persons. Algebra is probably derived from " Gebir." Fuchsia and narcissus are re- minders of the dozens of personal names commemorated in botanical terminology. Sam Brown and gatling point to military sources, and nelson is a wrestling term. There are other fields equally rich. ARTHUR BOWES. CAPTAIN G. JONES'S ' BATTLE OF WATER- LOO ' (12 S. ix. 389). George Jones was son of John Jones, an engraver of consider- able repute, whose mezzotint portraits after Gainsborough, Reynolds, Romney, &c., were much admired between 1774 and 1791. George was born in 1786 and became a student at the Royal Academy in 1801. During the Peninsular War he joined the South Devon Militia ; later on he was a Lieutenant in the Staffordshire Militia and was promoted to a company in the Montgomeryshire Militia. Afterwards he volunteered for active service, and in 1815 joined the Army of Occupation in Paris. On the termination of the war he returned to his art, and in 1824 became a R.A. He painted several battles. His ' Battle of St. Vincent ' is at Greenwich Hospital, his ' Battle of Waterloo ' at Chelsea Hospital, and others are in the South Kensington Museum. He was a friend of Turner and of Chantrey. He died in 1869. Swallowfield. CONSTANCE RUSSELL. HATCHMENTS (12 S. ix. 310, 337, 377, 397). I think I am correct in saying that anybody, whether nobleman or not, who is entitled to arms has a right to display them on his own premises as he may please. Hatchments preserved in churches I have often gazed at, but I cannot state that I have seen many in actual use. I remember one on Lord Powis's house in Berkeley Square in, perhaps, 186-. They were im- pressive objects and they gave a great dea
