tenham's 'TheArteof English Poesie': "Ii Shakespeare's day the legitimate 'atiricula; figures of adding and rabbating ' give a wider licence." The metaphorical use of what '. understand to be a term of carpentry, as indeed, the entire sentence, appears to be worthy of an explanation. H. P. L.

BRADFORD TOKEN. I shall be glad of any information relating to a token bearing the following inscription : " O. John Preston of [arms of the Preston family : Two bars, on a canton a cinquefoil]. R. Bradford, 1666, His half peny." Boyne mentions this example in his work on 'Yorkshire Tokens.' What connexion had Preston with the Yorkshire I restons which entitled him to bear the arms ?

W. E. PRESTON. Bradford.

THE LAST JUDGMENT. A picture on this subject, attributed to Raphael, was sold in Amsterdam in 1732, the property of Count Ferdinand Flatten berg ; the sum realized was ten thousand florins. Can any of your readers give its subsequent history ?

JOAN OF ARC. Has the whole of her first trial in Latin ever been translated into English ? If so, where can I find it ?

ARCHBISHOP HOWLEY (D. 1848). Who was his mother? The 'Diet. Nat. Biog.,' xxviii. 128, is silent on this point. H. C.

mo,, uuuer uat/e zu April, says " There is no reason whv Mr. Kip%' sh ould not perpe- trate a play, for we are alf playwrights now,

even Mr. Gladstone having been guilty of writing a blank-verse tragedy." If written, on what subject was it ; and was it ever printed ? J. B. McGovERN.

MORTIMER. Has Robert Mortimer, who! married Margaret, daughter and heir of Hugh de Say, ever been properly affiliated to the Mortimers of Wigmore 1 ? Mr. J. R. Planche, Somerset Herald, declared some forty years ago that no point of contact had ever been found for him. Is there any later evidence to disprove Mr. Planche 1

H. M. BATSON. ;

Hoe Benham, Newbury.

GEORGE WALLACE. I shall be glad of any reference to George Wallace, advocate, author of * Hills of Fife,' which will afford some biographical details about this eighteenth- century rimer. The second and acknow- ledged edition of ' Hills of Fife ' was pub- lished in 1800, but it originally appeared about forty years earlier. Biographical w orks, however, seem to have passed him by, though he was also the author of various legal works, besides the poem in question.

C. TALBOT, PRINTER, &c., OF BOOK TABLET. In a first-rate description of the original 'book tablet," the rime in which corn- nences " If thou art borrowed by a friend," &c., which appeared in the Antiquary, vol. ii. 1880), the name of the printer and 'seller is given as C.
