 9»avi.H«pT.22,i9oa.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 237 1 The Stream of Time' brought it down to 1856. W. C. B. WEM (9'hj3. vi. 88, 174).—There is not any cave near Wem, but the town lies in a hollow, being less than three hundred feet above sea level and having hills standing round about it on every aide. That the name means a hollow is, therefore, the most likely deriva- tion which I have yet met with. GILBERT H. F. VANE. The Rectory, Worn, Salop. DICK KITCAT (9th S. vi. 87).—I have noticed the difference, I may be permitted to men- tion, in the etchings referred to by your correspondent, and have ventured to doubt whether they are all by Punch's great artist. In my copy of "The Fortunes of Hector O'Halloran and his Man Mark Anthony O'Toole. By W. H. Maxwell. 'Faugh a Ballagh.' With illustrations by J. Leech. London: William Tegg & Co., 85, Queen Street, 1853," the name of "Dick Kitcat" appears on five of the illustrations ; three are unsigned, and the remaining nineteen are undoubtedly by John Leech. MR. EGBERTS will allow me to direct his attention to the fact that Hector O'Hallpran. as drawn by " Dick Kitcat," is quite unlike the Hector O'Halloran by John Leech. HENRY GERALD HOPE. Clapham, S.W. "INWARDNESS"(9th S. v. 475).—DR. MURRAY, stating that inwardness, though in use in the seventeenth century, fell into desuetude till the seventh and eighth decades of the nine- teenth, inquires, "Whence did its renascence come?" True inwardness," and that with inverted commas as if a quotation, is asso- ciated in the mind of the present writer with the national Beecher-Tilton scandal which began in 1874. It seems to have been first used in regard to the real meaning of certain ambiguous expressions, such as " nesthiding," &c. Instances of its use, and no doubt the earliest one, will be forthcoming as soon as this desiderated vocable is brought before Albert Matthews, who year by year has become more and more the foremost of American contributors. JAMES D. BUTLER. Madison, Wisconsin, U.S. DONALD WALKER (9th S. vi. 149).—I have a copy of Walker's ' Manly Exercises,' fourth edition, 1838, published by T. Hurst, 5, St. Paul's Churchyard, printed by J. & C. Adlard, Bartholomew Close, illustrated with sixty-four engravings either from steel or copper plates ; it has a letterpress bastard- title, and the frontispiece is marked "H. Alken, del1," representing a four-in-hand (four spanking tits and a spicy coachman). The preface is evidently written by the author, as in it ho mentions that he is about to issue ' Defensive Exercises.' It is bound in exceedingly good taste in a very effective embossed skiver leather, and, though now .somewhat out of date, constitutes, I always thought, a very suitable present to a school- boy, it being presented to me with the following inscription on the fly-leaf: " In testimony of diligence and good conduct, Edmonton, Xmas, 1841. J. V.'r ROBERT BUHNINGHAM. P.S.—I have not been able to find the date of the author's death. • RICHARD CRASHAW (9th S. vi. 64).—As it is best that all references should be exact, the pages of Glover's ' History of the County of Derby' (vol. ii. part i.) recording Crashaw's monument should read pp. 468, 469, and 474, and not p. 493 as given by your corre- spondent ITA TESTOR. The monument is thus described on p. 468 :— "A man in a gown and ruff kneeling before a desk with his hands elevated, above his head a canopy and the following coats of arms : Quarterly, gules and azure in the first and fourth, a leopard s head or; in the second and third a covered cup, and in chief two round buckles, the tongues fesse- wise, points to the dexter, all of the third—Gold- smiths Company, and Argent, on a chevron engrailed gules, between three choughs, as many mullets of the first, crescent for difference." Underneath is]the inscription, the purport of which has been already given. CHAS. H. CROUCH. Nightingale Lane, Wanstead. TOMB IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY (9th S. vi. 170).—Edmund Crouchback was second son of Henry III., younger brother of Edward I. uncle of Edward II., founder of the great house of Lancaster, and great-grandfather of Blanche (Chaucer's "Duchesse"), who, by icr marriage with John of Gaunt, the fourth, son of Edward III., became the mother of Senry IV. Edmund lies in the magnificent omb on the north side of the Sanctuary nearest the high altar. Next to him, on the west, is the fine tomb of Aymer de Valence, son of his half-uncle, and westward of Aymer again that of Edmund's first wife, Aveline, daughter of the Earl of Albemarle, and the greatest heiress in England. Their marriage on 9 April, 1269, was the first important ceremony held in Henry III.'s new Abbey of Westminster, the choir and transepts of hich were by that time completed. After Aveline's death Edmund married Blanche,
