ARMS OF DE KELLYGREW (9 th S. i. This coat was Per pale gu. and az., an eagle displayed double-headed or, within a bordure sa. (vide Papworth). But, under the portrait of Tom Killigrew by Faithorne, the shield has no tinctures, and the bordure is charged with roundles, apparently hurts, and pro- bably ten in numoer, as five are shown, while the other five do not appear, the wife's arms being impaled and so taking the place of the other half of the bordure.

According to Burke's 'General Armory,' 1878, Killegrew of Killegrew, co. Cornwall, bears Argent, an eagle displayed sable ; a bordure of the second, bezantee. Killigrew Is the spelling to which Cqrnishmen are accustomed. JOHN HOBSON MATTHEWS,.

GLADSTONE BIBLIOGRAPHY (8 th S. ii. 461, 501 ; iii. 1, 41, 135, 214, 329, 452 ; v. 233, 272). The recent appearance of Mr. Justin McCarthy's admirable 'Story of Gladstone's Life' has revived my interest in the excel- lent contributions under this heading. I observe that Mr. McCarthy in his chapter ' Gladstone's First Book' (p. 61) says :

" The full title of the book was ' The State in its Relations with the Church.' It was the first book Mr. Gladstone ever published. It created a great sensation at the time, all the greater because Macaulay attacked it in one of his most famous essays."

But your contributor, ad an. 1838, instances a prior composition in pamphlet if not book form, though technically I suppose Mr. McCarthy is right. And though the book referred to first appeared in 1838, Macaulay 's slashing review was of the second edition, issued in April, 1839. Mr. Gladstone's most recent addition to his long list of writings is his letter 'The Eastern Crisis,' 1897.

SENTENCE IN WESTCOTT (9 th S. i. 308). The following passage, if not the same, illustrates the quotation asked for :

" It is in the fulfilment of simple routine that we need more than anywhere the quickening influence of the highest thought ; and this the truth of the Incarnation, an eternal, an abiding truth, is able t< bring to every Christian. Life may for a momen seem to be poor and mean and commonplace, but

when the reflection of this glory falls xipon it, our wavering faith can alone dim its brightness." Christus Consummator,' p. 94.

" HOAST " : " WHOOST " (9 th S. i. 247, 337). !n Yorkshire, according to a ' Glossary of Yorkshire Words and Phrases,' they have the erbs " to hooze " or " to heeze "=to breathe with difficulty. To these words is added a Deference to Aeazy=hoarse, thick-winded, as cattle. C. P. HALE.

JOHN LOUDOUN, GLASGOW COLLEGE (9 th S . 328). In Appendix V. to the recently pub- ished ' Roll of Graduates of Glasgow Univer- sity, 1727 to 1897' (p. 687), I noted all that I aad discovered concerning the above. It is as follows :

Logic, 1727-50. Died 1 November, 1750."

Like your querist, I should be glad to learn more. W. INNES ADDISON.

ORIEL = HALL ROYAL (9 th S. i. 288). Parker's Handbook for Oxford ' (1875), p. 66, says : "Somner ('Antiquities of Canterbury,' 1640, p. 205) tells us, that in his time there were not wanting antiquaries who considered it [the word ' ' Oriel "] to be merely a corruption of Aul-royal ; an opinion in some measure corroborated by several early deeds still extant. We have seen one which describes the society as 'prepositus et scholares domus beate Marie Oxon collegii de oryell alias aule regalis vulgariter nuncupati.' "

A. R. BAYLEY.

This is a mere guess, and, as such freaks of imagination commonly turn out to be, a by no means fortunate one. I do not think it is very modern, but who the original guesser was I have no means of knowing. We have acquired the word oriel from the Old French oriol, which owns near kinship with the mediaeval Latin oriolvm, for which see Du- fresne's ' Glossarium.' Dufresne furnishes examples of the word from Matthew Paris, and adds, " vocis etymon non agnosco." PROF. SKEAT however, in his ' Concise Dictionary,' suggests an origin which is almost certainly the true one. EDWARD PEACOCK.

SAMUEL IRELAND (9 th S. i. 387). M.A. OXON. will probably find that the witness to the will of 1780 was the author and engraver, who began life as a weaver in Spitalfields, London, and whose biography is in the ' Dictionary of National Biography,' vol. xxix. p. 31. There are sufficient materials there to enable him to ascertain whether my surmise is correct. If not, further and better par-
