The ancestor of the family was a French- man, a Roman Catholic, and godson and secretary to Lord Der went water. I have a pedigree of the earlier members of the house and of such of the later ones as are ancestors of my own. Such biographical details as I also have are at MR. SMITH'S service, if he will communicate with me concerning those per- sons about whom he desires information.

CHARLES LAMB AND 'THE CHAMPION'

11 S vi. 442 ; vii. 12). Solomon wrote the

Guide to Health.' "An entire, new and

elegant edition, in one pocket volume, with

an elegant portrait of the author, price only

3s., of that interesting publication entitled 'Solomon's Guide to Health,' published by Mathews, 18, Strand, and all Booksellers," was advertised on 3 January, 1801, with an "extract of the character given of this work in the Sun, Star, Courier, Albion, Times, Daily Advertiser, Morning Chronicle, and most of the literary journals in Europe. We have the satisfaction of announcing another edition of Dr. Solomon's incomparable ' Guide to Health,' a book which has met with the most extensive sale of any medical production we ever heard of. The best and most approved remedies are pointed out for the various disorders on which it treats, as well as directions for general health, highly interesting to persons of every denomination."

COL. PRIDEAUX will find all the epigrams transcribed by him from 'Poetical Recrea- tions of the Champion ' (9 th S. vi. 442) in the collected edition of Lamb published by Moxon in 1876, with Mr. Percy Fitzgerald's name as editor (vol. vi.). I am afraid it will need further evidence than the initials M. L." to make us accept the lines with which he concludes as the composition of Mary Lamb. J. A. R.

" SMOUS " (9 th S. vi. 409, 493). This word very uncommon. I had met it only in Macklin's comedy until recently. In 'South African Recollections,' ch. ii. (1899), Mrs. Lionel Phillips says, "Even the wandering Smouse' had not penetrated so far." Did she get the word from Macklin 1

WELSH MANUSCRIPT PEDIGREES (9 th S. iv. 412, 483; v. 109, 358). Permit me to add to my contributions on this subject. I am in- debted to Mr. Edward Owen, of the India Office, for information respecting another most valuable MS. (Harl. 1969) which is written in precisely the same form as Peter Ellis (Harl. 28,033 and 28,034), Harl. 2299, and the Hengwrt MS. (in the Peniarth jibrary), and is clearly derived from the ame source or from the same authorities, uite a distinct set of authors from that of The Golden Grove Book,' David Edwards, ic. Harl. 1969 is very superior to both 2299 nd the Hengwrt copy, inasmuch as it con- ains many additional references, but it is ot so valuable as Peter Ellis, which contains many more. On the outside of the former- over of this MS. is written " G. H. Welsh nd some English pedigrees, written by Griffith Hughes 95 25 5/1969, 15/V B." It ontains about 600 pages, and some other MSS. are bound up with it. It has tables
