of the possessors, who I presume were the original subscribers. Sir Thomas brought a very fine copy, bound in red morocco, in twenty volumes, for exhibition to the annual general meeting of the Cambrian Archaeo- logical Association at Dplgelly in 1850. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Sir Thomas Phillipps at nis residence at Middlehill in 1856-7. The following is the list with which he kindly supplied me: Tour. Snowdonia.

Robson the bookseller had, which, being defective, he destroyed.

My query is, Who are the happy possessors at the present time of this rare work, and where is Sir Thomas Phillipps's copy 1

I saw in the library at Wynnstay, in 1876, two volumes of Sir Watkin W. Wynn's copy, being evidently the only portion 'of it saved from the great fire that occurred there.

BLANKETS. In the Globe newspaper for 29 December, 1900, is an article on ' Blankets ' giving an account of them from A.D. 1340 with suggestions as to the name of the first maker, ihomas Blanket," and where he lived Bristol is named, and also Worcester. Near the latter town there is, or was many years ago, an old country house, about a mile on

Hill, mother of the wife of Thomas Percv (1729-1811), Bishop of Dromore (see Nichols s ' Lit. Illustr.,' vol. vi. p. 582). Serjeant Hill joined the Middle Temple 5 January, 1733, and was called to the bar 27 November, 1741. He was not admitted at Lincoln's Inn until 25 April, 1765. H. C.

D'AUVERGNE FAMILY. Can any of your readers inform me where I can obtain par- ticulars of the above family 1

Admiral Philip D'Auvergne, Prince of Bouillon, died in 1816, and was buried in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster. He was descended from the Rev. Edward D'Auvergne, rector of Great Hallingbury in 1705, who was son of Philip D'Auvergne, of Jersey. There was also a General PhiTip D'Auvergne, born in 1763 and died at Delhi in 1818, whose daughter married Col. Barnard, of Duninow. If any authentic pedigree exists of this family, I shall be much obliged for the refer- ence. INNES.

MOTTO FOR LAUNDRY PORCH. I should be much obliged to any one who would suggest a good motto to be inscribed on the porch of a laundry. C. J. B.

BURKE ON MALVEKN. In 1817 John Cham- bers published his ' General History of Mal- vern,' and placed upon the title-page this motto: "I like your Malvern hills, they look like a great back-bone to the county of Hereford. Burke." On p. vii the author states that this saying was reported to him by Dr. Woodyatt, of Worcester, to whom Mr. Burke made the remark when they were both under the mulberry tree in the garden of the Rev. James Birt, Canon Residentiary of Hereford, Master of St. Catharine's Hos- pital, Ledbury, and Vicar of Lydney. This was "in the year 1800, the year before Mr. Birt died." This is a confused account, for it does not say where the garden was, whether at Hereford, Ledbury, or Lydney ; and Ed- mund Burke died in 1797. As this sentence is often quoted in books about Malvern, it would be well to ascertain its real origin. The families of Woodyatt and Hastings were connected (' D.N.B.,' xxv. 112 a).
