was published in the Exeter papers (1 ever reprinted). The Plymouth section, under the title of 'Biographia Medica Devoniensis,' appeared in the pages of the Western Anti- quary. What became of the rest of Dr. Munk's materials 1 He lived at 40, Finsbury Square, and died on 20 December, 1898. I am specially desirous to know whether he had notes of any Sidmouth or Teignmouth doctors. Can any of your readers say whether the residue of his papers are in public or private hands, and, if the latter, whether accessible to students ?

EDWIN LAWRENCE GODKIN. He is the sub- ject of one of the 'Studies in Contemporary Biography' (London, 1903) of Mr. James Bryce, according to whom he was born in the county of Wicklow, in Ireland, in 1831, was educated at Queen's College, Belfast, read a short time for theEnglish Bar, but drifted into journalism by accepting the post of correspondent to the Daily News during the Crimean war. Soon afterwards he went to America, made a name for himself there, and died last year. I am anxious to collect more information about him and his friends in his early life, before he drifted into journalism, and should be grateful for any help or hints. L. L. K.

SWEYN : ITS PRONUNCIATION. Is there any means of knowing how King Sweyn, who ruled over at least some portion of England, pronounced his name Swain or Swyne, or what ? S.

ARMS WANTED. Can any one give me the full arms borne by Edward (Radcliffe), second Earl of Derwentwater (died 1705) ? The Rad- clyffes would quarter the arms of Derwent- water and Tyndale with their own, as heiresses of the two latter families married Radclyffes. E. N. JARRETT.

BRITISH HENS' PROTEST AGAINST FRENCH EGGS. In ' N. & Q.,' 4 fch S. x. 206, a query was put to which no reply appears to have been forthcoming, and which I should like to renew. This asked for a copy of Lady Mqrley's * Petition from the Hens of Great Britain to the House of Commons against the Importation of French Eggs.' The effusion is said to have been both humorous and witty, and I should like to know where to find it. POLITICIAN.

CONCORDANCES. Can any reader of 'N. & Q.' kindly tell me of concordances to poets, or portions of their works, other than Shake-

speare, Milton, Pope, Shelley, Burns, Cowper, Tennyson, 'The Christian Year,' and the 'Rubaiyat' of Omar Khayyam ? The question, in a different form, was asked so long ago as the Third Series, but apparently remained unanswered. V. W. DOWELL.

" O. C. 1651." In ' Murray's Handbook to Oxford ' the note " O. C. 1651," carved on the wooden chancel-screen of St. Bartholomew's Chapel, near the Cowley Road, about a mile to the east of Oxford, is said to have reference to Oliver Cromwell, who at that date was master of England ; but its primitive mean- ing is more likely to have been " Oriel Col- lege," to which the chapel belonged. The erection of so papistical a piece of church furniture under Puritan rule is noteworthy. Perhaps the possibility of a double-entente in " O. C." made it serve as a kind of amulet to " screen " it. Does one find the name or the initials of Oliver Cromwell on or in any other place of Anglican worship which existed under his usurpation ? E. S. DODGSON.

" THE TRUEST WEALTH," &c. Can any reader of 'N. & Q.' kindly supply the remain- ing lines of the poem in which the following appear, and tell me who wrote them ]

The truest wealth, the contented mind ;

The best ambition, to serve mankind ;

And the brightest ray to light the gloom

Is the hope of a life beyond the tomb.

M'RAGHNALL. The M'Raghnall, or Mac* Rannal, family was once a powerful sept in Ireland, whose sway extended over the territory of Muinter Eolais, comprising the baronies of Leitrim, Mohill, and Carrigallan, in the south-east half of co. Leitrim ; some members also settled in Roscommon, West- meath, and Longford. Mrs. Reynolds, of The Mullens, Ballyshannon, co. Donegal, and myself are collecting material for their history, and I shall be glad to receive genealogical details, such as sketch pedigrees, extracts from wills giving names of persons, places, and dates, &c., copies of parish regis- ters, vestry books, monumental inscriptions, coats of arms, and any other particulars relating to all of this name in Ireland. Any original papers or other documents sent will be carefully copied and at once returned. HENRY F. REYNOLDS.
