rank of senior member of the Medical Board, Madras, where he died in 1812. The registers of the University of Edinburgh show that he attended classes after matriculation from 1776 to 1780, when he graduated as M.D. The records, however, are very meagre, and do not mention more than his name and that he came from Queen's County, Ireland. In the graduation list he is entered as " Hen. Harris, Hibernis.," and the subject of his thesis " De morbis yirginurn," &c. A copy of this is in the British Museum.

HENRY NEVILLE HARRIS. Horwood, Epsom Road, Guildford.

CORONATION STONE. Where can an authentic account of the Coronation Stone of Westminster Abbey be found ?

J. H. RIVETT-CARNAC.

Schloss Wildeck, Aargau, Switzerland.

[See I 8t S. ix. 123, 328 ; 2 nd S. v. 316 ; 4 th 8. i. 101, 209 ; 6 th S. xii. 449 ; 7 th 8. i. 9, 75. Much informa- tion is supplied at the first two references.]

THE BARCLAYS OF MATHERS. In the various pedigrees of this family it is stated that they are descended from John de Berkeley, brother of Humphry de Berkeley, and that John, dis- pleased with the liberality of his brother and niece, turned the monks of Arbrpath out of certain lands, but was obliged, with consent of his son, to give them the mill of Conveth, &c. Where is the record of this agreement to be found ? It is not in the register of Arbroath as printed by the Bannatyne Club.

'LETTERS FROM INDIA AND KASHMIR,' written in 1870 (London, George Bell & Sons, 1874). I shall be glad to have the name of the author of this work, which appears to be absolutely anonymous. The letters were from a son to his father, and, I presume, are authentic. RALPH THOMAS.

RICHARD HERNE, SHERIFF OF LONDON, 1618-19. Can any of your readers furnish the name of the company to which this sheriff belonged 1 Mr. Cokayne, in * The Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of London, 1601-25,' states that it is unknown. E. C.

" LADY " AND " GENTLEWOMAN." Is there a marked difference, in popular and colloquial language, between "lady" and "gentle- woman," or can they be used indiscri- minately if applied to a well - educated woman of refined manners ? From ordinary English dictionaries, where synonyms are compared and distinguished, I fail to gather information. The 'Oxford Historical Dic- tionary,' one cannot but regret to find, does

not deal with synonymous words and their differentiation, as lying outside its historical scope. L. G.

WRIGHT OF HOPSFORD. Wanted date of death of Thomas Wright, of Hopsford, co. Warwick, who was appointed a trustee of Rugby School in 1602, and again in 1614. In what parish is Hopsford 1

A. T. MICHELL.

Rugby.

[There is a Hopsford in North Warwickshire, six and a half miles from Coventry.]

CROSSE HALL. Crosse Hall is mentioned in Croston's 'County Families of Lancashire and Cheshire' (1887) as being the place where the armour of the county of Lancaster was deposited at the time of the threatened Spanish invasion. Is it Crosse Hall, Chorley, formerly the residence of the Cross family of Liverpool, afterwards used by Cpbden as a bleach - works, and now divided into cot- tages 1 EDWARD MCKNIGHT.

THE "CROWN" BEHIND THE ROYAL EX- CHANGE. I shall be much obliged if any of your readers can give me any information about this tavern, which is mentioned by Pepys as the meeting - place of the Royal Society Club. In 1722 a Masons' lodge, afterwards known as the Tyrian, met here. I particularly wish to know if there is any picture of the building in existence.

JAMES M. SMALL.

Westminster.

DANIEL TUVILL. Can readers of ' N. & Q.' give any particulars concerning him? In 1608 appeared ' Essaies Politicke and Morall,' by D. T. Gent. In the dedication "To the Right Honorable and vertuous Ladie, the Ladie Anne Harington," the author speaks of " such idle houres, as remained free to me from your imployrnents." Can this furnish a clue to his identification? In 1609 was

Bj Wished another volume of 'Essayes,' by . T., and in 1629 yet another, entitled ' Vade Mecum : a Manuall of Essayes, Morall, Theologicall,' by D. T., followed by another edition in 1638. These are all generally attributed to Daniel Tuvill, though the late Rev. Thomas Corser thought the first named came from the pen of D. Turberville, son of the poet. Who was Daniel Tuvill, and on what grounds are these works said to be by him? C. D.

' OXFORD UNIVERSITY CALENDAR.' What is the date of the first issue of this publication, which nearly every freshman used to pur-
