Renesse's ' Dictionary ' gives, I think, a score of names bearing a " chevron accompagne de 3 hures de sanglier," but the crest seems to fit none except the White given in Rietstap as of Boston, " De gu. au chev. d'arg. ace. de 3 hures de sanglier du meme. 0. une hure de sanglier sortant d'une couronne murale." Renesse, too, is practically a key to Rietstap, whose book is by no means deficient in Low Country coats. Whitmore's "Elements of Heraldry with an Essay upon the Use of Coat-Armor in the United States," gives as No. 19 in Gore's 'List,' Samuel White of Boston, merchant, 1712, bearing Gu., a chev. between three boars' heads couped arg. Crest, Out of a mural coronet gu. a boar's head arg. Can any reader of 'N. & Q.' say whether the chevron has been borne ermine by a White 1 I may add that Fairbairn (new ed.) engraves no boar's head fesswise upon a mural crown ; though it seems to me that it might not occur to an artist to depict it otherwise—a boars head with sufficient neck to make it cnit of a crown looks unnatural. Also the portrait is to me hardly that of a Dutchman. It is more British. PUTEANUS. "Lo0DERiNG."—This word occurs in Black - inore's ' Perlycross,' ch. xxviii., apparently in the sense of smuggling. Can any Devonshire man tell me anything about the word 1 A. L. MAYHEW. Oxford. CHARLES DERING was admitted to West- minster School on 15 April, 1784. Can any correspondent of ' N. & Q.' help me to identify him t G. F. R. B. CARMALT. — A boy of this name was admitted to Westminster School on 4 Feb., 1766. I should be glad to identify him. G. F. R. B. ARMS CARVED ON A MEERSCHAUM.—I should be very glad if I could learn what person or family can be referred to in a coat of arms beautifully carved on a meerschaum pipe which 1 picked up at a small town on the Rhine twenty - three years ago. It repre- sents a wheel having as supporters two lions rampant, each with two tails. Underneath are the letters G. L. H., the whole surmounted by a ducal coronet. The wheel is not enclosed in a shield. E. F. D. C. 10, Portman Square. REFERENCES WANTED.—I should be much obliged for exact references to the following : 1. The poem of Browning's containing the lines Oh, the little more, and how much it is ! And the little less, and what worlds away ! 2. The work of Goldsmith containing the line We have not seen the cross of her money. 3. To whom are referred the words " Apres nous le deluge " 1 4. Who in Scottish history was known as Archibald Bell-the-Cat? 5. In what act and scene of Rostand s 'Cyrano de Bergerac' does the hero say Plus fier que tous lea Artabans! DE V. PAYEN-PAYNE. 7, Spenser Mansions, W. [1. ' Dramatic Lyrics,' ' By the Fireside,' stanza 39. 2. 'The Vicar of Waketield,' xxi. 3 Traced back to Madame de Pompadour, but supposedly earlier. See ' N. & Q.,' 4th S. vii. 188, 310. 4. Archibald Douglas, 1449(?)-1514, fifth Karl of Angus. 5. The hero does not use the phrase. It is put in the mouth of Ragucaeau the pastrycook, Act 1. sc. ii.] DR. HALL.—The ' D.N.B.' gives the date of the death of this celebrated doctor as 11 May, 1807, instead of 11 August (see 'Memoirs' of Dr. Marshall Hall, 1861, pp. 419-23). I should not write merely to correct this; what I should like to know is whence they got the extra- ordinary Christian name of Marshall. The books on the 'Marshall Hall Method of treating the Drowned' persistently deprive him of his Christian name by putting a hyphen -thus, Marshall - Hall. Perhaps his only child, Mr. Marshall Hall, of Lincoln's Inn, will kindly answer. RALPH THOMAS. TITLE AND AUTHOR OF BOOK WANTED.— Two or three, or perhaps more, years ago I read a book about a man who mesmerized his fox-terrier clog—a very funny work. I cannot now find either the title or author s name. Can you help me 1 GEO. W. JONES. "FACITO." — In Bruder's edition of the 'Confessions of St. Augustine' (Tauchnitz, Leipzig, 1837), lib. x. cap. 11, I read, "Nam cogo et cogito sic est ut ago et agito, facio et fai-ito." f'.icito is a word unknown to clas- sical Latin. Is it to be found elsewhere than in this passage in Augustine ? or ia it a mis- print turfaclito, to practise? 11. M. SPENCE, D.D. - Manse of Arbuthnott, N.B.
