Dicitur is diem obiisse apud 'Sudbury' in agro Suffolciensi, et sepultum fuisse apud Domuc. Quo autem in loco ilium credamus tumulatum, nisi in Ecclesia Cathedrali de Dunwich, cujus ipse erat episcopus? pnesertim cum in eodem agro mortem obivit. Ea f uit sedes East Anglorum Episcoporum, quam ibi tixit Felix, postquam eos ad ndem Chris- tianam convertisset, deinde aBisp Episcopo in duas divisa est, adjecta Elmhamensi, utraque demum in unam coalvit circa an. Dom. DCCOCLV. ' So in the 'Adversaria ' to Matthew of Paris, but this does not carry us further back than 1640. In Bede's days it is cLar that Dunwich was known as Dummoc, in Matthew of Westminster's days as Donewic or Dunwich. When, therefore, the latter quotes from the former, he uses the form employed by JBede ; whereas, writing later and nearer his own time, he naturally adopts the name by which the place was then known. MR. SMITH conse- quently can hardly make any substantial point out of the fact of Matthew of Westminster referring to Dunwich, and not Dummoc, as late as the ransoming of the place with Yarmouth and Ipswich by the barons. Your corre- spondent further says, "The will of Bishop Theodred has Dunamowe." Possibly. I have not seen this will, neither do I find his name amongst the eleven bishops of Dun- wich. As to "Tilfred Damnoce Episcopus," I suppose this is Tedfrid or Tidferth, who was present at the synod of Beconfield in 798, of Clovesho in 803, and Celicuth in 813 (see Spel man's 'Concil. Angl.,' pp. 318, 325, 328), and the bishop of Dunwich at the period already mentioned, when Offa, King of Mercia, succeeded in having Lichfield raised to the dignity of an archbishopric.

DISAPPEARING CHARTISTS (9 th S. ix. 144 251, 391, 496 ; x. 34, 171), MR. HOLYOAKE'S mistakes oblige me to address you under the above heading without any intention of say- ing aught about Chartists or Chartism, a subject void of interest for me. I gladly avail myself of the present opportunity to thank MR. GRIGOR for setting your readers right as to my personality, no less than for his panegyric in connexion with my humble contributions to your pages, for MR. HOLY- OAKE'S description of me as a lifelong reader for "literals" was neither complimentary nor just. In his latest note MR. HOLYOAKE admits that he did confuse me with MR. W. E. ADAMS, but, unfortunately, in confessing one error he stumbles into another. How the confusion was occasioned, he says, "I cannot now tell, as I have mislaid MR. F. ADAMS'S communi- cation." As I have never in my life been in

correspondence with him, he apparently means by " communication " some writing addressed to you. But there is nothing of mine in 'N. & Q.' between 8 February and 21 June, whereas my Newcastle namesake's contribu- tion in correction of MR. HOLYOAKE appeared on 17 May. It is clear, therefore, that in the passage quoted above I am confused for the second time with MR. W. E. ADAMS ; but I do not see how that gentleman's "communica- tion " can help MR. HOLYOAKE to account for the confusion in the first instance any more than in the second. F. ADAMS.

LONGFELLOW (9 th S. x. 107). The following extract from Longfellow's journal, as given in the ' Life ' of the poet edited by Samuel Longfellow, contains the information re- quired : " May 27th, 1868. Sailed from New York for Liverpool in the steamer Russia." CUTHBERT E. A. CLAYTON.

Richmond, Surrey.

CAVALIER AND^JROUNDHEAD FAMILIES OF CARMARTHEN AND* GLAMORGAN (9 tlr S. x. 168). If T. M.-S. will refer to the 'History of the Civil War in South Wales,' by L. (?) Phillips, and to the Calendars of the Com- mittee of Compounding at the Record Office, he will find most of the Cavalier families in South Wales duly set down. H.

"FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE WERE QUES- TIONED" (9 th S. x. 107). In response to the request of W. F. G. S. for the correct render- ing of the lines quoted by him from memory, 1 would say that I find upon the fly-leaf of my Bible these lines, which I there attribute to John Byrom :

Faith, Hope,>and Love were questioned what they

thought

Of future glory, which religion taught : Now Faith believed it firmly to be true, And Hope expected so to find it, too : Love answered, smiling, with a conscious glow, " Believe ? Expect ? I know it to be so ! "

" BARBITONSOR " (9 th S. x. 169). Your corre- spondent evidently has not wasted any energy in his quest of this word, which is to be found in mafry vocabularies, e.g., Coles's 'Lat.-Engl. Diet.' ("barbitonsor, a barber") ; Maigne d'Arnis's ' Lexicon Manuale,' s.v. 'Barbaria' (" barbitonsoris officina, boutique de perruquier" i.e., barber's shop); 'Promp- torium Parvulorum' ("barboure, barbiton- sor"); 'Catholicon Anglicum ' ("barbur, barbitonsor ") ; fifteenth - century English vocabulary in Wright - Wulcker's ' Vocabu-
