O'Linn ; or, Luck is Everything,' and imme- diately under the title it says : " With an illustration by John Leech." This occurs in connexion with some half-dozen illustrations in different parts of the volume.

CHAS. F. FORSHAW, LL.D. Hanover Gardens, Bradford.

The earliest example I can find is in the preface to Ingram 's 'Memorials of Oxford,' 1837, where " illustrations of a superior order " are mentioned quoting from the original prospectus. The Illustrated London Mews, No. 1, 14 May^ 1842, promises "selections from the illustrations of the numerous works," &c. Many examples can be seen in Forster's you think it worth while, in the illustrations, to throw the.. period back at all for the sake of anything good in the costume 1 " (29 Oc- tober, 1848.)
 * Life of Dickens.' Thus Dickens writes : "Do

While writing this, I have found a still earlier instance the "List of Illustrations" at the end of ' The Architecture of Birds ' (in " Library of Entertaining Knowledge "), 1831.

CARDBOARD MODELS (9 th S. iii. 407). I was taught the making of these toys in the fifties. The outline of the four sides of the building is first drawn to scale ; the lines marking the margins and angles are then cut half way through the board ; the whole is then cut out to within a quarter or half an inch of the incised margins ; this outer margin or selvedge, doubled down or turned up at the necessary angle, affords attachment to the floor, roof, &c. Windows and doors are cut out or sketched in to scale ; chimneys, pillars, dormer-windows, &c., are constructed in the same way as the main building. Of course, a great deal depends upon artistic treatment. Powdered chalk and sand applied to a gummed surface will give a realistic appearance to walls, gravel walks, grass plats, tfec. Talc may be used for glass and water ; moss will supply shrubs and ivy, &c.

THOMAS J. JEAKES.

There is on view at Stepney Causeway a fine cardboard model of Dr. Bariiardo's Village Home for Girls at Ilford. I have no doubt that the doctor would willingly supply the name of the artist if M. R. cared to ask for it. JOHN T. PAGE.

West Haddon, Northamptonshire.

M. K. should apply to one of the London model-makers who make models for trials of " ancient lights " and the like actions in the High Court. Many London solicitors could

give M. R. the address of one of the model- makers, or he might advertise in a trade paper. I recommend M. R. to have his model on rather a larger scale than eighteen inches square, if it is to be of much practical use for the buildings he refers to.

ARLINGTON (9 th S. iii. 269, 357, 398). Is it not possible that the pronunciation may have remained the same, or nearly so, though the manner of spelling has varied considerably, during the centuries ? To the Norman scribes the names of the villages, &c., were those of a foreign language, and various are the modes of spelling what are now written alike. COL. PRIDEAUX says that Harlington, Middle- sex, is given as Herdintone. Arlington, in Bibury parish, Gloucester, is Aluredintuire, and this Arlington 1 have also seen in late seventeenth' or early eighteenth century manuscripts as Hardington. Not far from Cheltenham there are villages of Seven- hampton and Brockhamptori ; to the inhabit- ants and those who know them best they are Sennington and Brockington, probably the original names. During the present century many unspeakable names have been changed, Brighton, for instance ; but in rural districts the place-names would change but slowly, and probably the villages and manors of Ar- lington have been so pronounced by the natives ever since the survey. If the Lord Arlington of the Cabal took his title from the Middlesex place of the name, it must have been most generally known as Arlington, minus the H, at that time. B. B.

FAMILY OF BURDEN (9 th S. iii. 187). A con- tributor to the Genealogist, vol. iii. p. 145, says that Burden, or Burdon, took the name from Burdon, co. Durham. The earliest men- tioned personage is William de Burdon, who witnessed a deed temp. Alexander III. of Scotland, 1249-86. According to the 'Visita- tions of Devon,' by Lieut.-Col. J. L. Vivian, a family of that name resided at Burdon, co. Devon, in 1529. Whether they are of the same family as the above and gave the place the name is not stated. JOHN RADCLIFFE.

CRESSET-STONES (9 th S. iii. 408). Besides the cresset-stones at Wool (Dorset), Lewan- nick (Cornwall), York, Furness, and Calder Abbeys, in this country, and at Milan and Stockholm Museum, all described by the Rev 7. S. Baring-Gould in his 'Strange Survivals,' quite a number of others exist. For those in Westminster Abbey see the Archaeological Journal for 1876. The late Rev. T. Lees, in the Transactions of the Cumberland and
