NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. XL MAR. G, im


"Scipio, 28 Nov., 1789, and was promoted Lieutenant in 1798 ; on 22 May, 1802, he married at St. Mary's, Lambeth, Mary, daughter of William Randall. Their son Gerard was baptized at the same church, 27 March, 1803 ; and a daughter, May Randall, on 8 Feb., 1805. Lieut. Fleetwood died at Jersey, 21 April, 181,1, a widower ; his will was proved 6 May in the same year by Mrs. Phcebe Randall. There were chil- dren living in 1811. Could this family be descended from Thomas Fleetwood, "who died in Edinburgh ?

A Lieut. Charles Fleetwood, R.N., died at Feltham Hill, Middlesex, on 8 Aug., 1840 ; he joined his first ship 8 June, 1807, being described as of London. His parentage cannot be traced, but he might be the son of Charles Fleetwood of Burdway.

About July, 1742, a John Ambrose Fleetwood, of Bance Hall, near Tarporley, Cheshire, married a Miss Leigh, daughter of Augustine Leigh ; but inquiries have

so far failed to identify the place and persons

mentioned.*

It is hoped that these notes may result in further evidence being forthcoming as to the descendants, if any, of the Drury Lane patentee. R. W. B.


BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TECHNICAL

TERMS. (See 10 S. x. 81, 484 ; xi. 82.)

Demonym. Popular or ordinary quali- fication or description taken as a proper name.

Examples : Un travailleur devenu pro- prietaire [J. B. F. Marbeau]. An antiquary

[R. Thomson]
see H. p. 14. Also refer to

A reader therein [Andrea Crestadoro], A clergyman, A lady, A layman, A member of the Established Church [Sir John Bayley, Bt.] : see H. pp. 2 to 9 and 177 to 182, and other examples.

Diplonym. Designation or name for writers or stenographists : used by Querard for " Un tachigraphe " [Louis Dubroca, 1814]. Tachigraphe is an old name for a stenographist.

Enigmatic initialism. Examples:

A.L.O.E., i.e. A lady of England (C. Tucker) :

  • Henrietta Maria Fleetwood, daughter and

heiress of Thomas Fleetwood (who drained Marton Mere) by Anne, daughter of Christopher Bannister of Bank. Lanes, married Thomas Legh, younger brother of Peter Legh of Lyme, co. Chester, at St. Paul's, Covent Garden, 26 Jan., 1700/1. Did Augustine Leigh belong to the same family ?


H. p. 11. TALVI [T. A. L. von Jacob : H. p. 124].

Enigmatic pseudonym. Examples : One who is but an attorney [i.e. George Butt of Salisbury] : H. p. 94. Theta, ibid., p. 151. 'The Book of God,' by 6 [Dr. E. V. H. Kenealy, 1867] : H. p. 189.

' Bibliotheque bibliophilo - facetieuse,' editee par les freres Gebeode, London, 1852, i.e. G[ustav]e B[runet] e[t] O[ctave] D[el- pierr]e.

Geodemonym. Example : A Hertford- shire incumbent [Canon J. W. Blakesley : see H. p. 7].

Geonym. Name of a country, castle, town, or village used as a pseudonym.

Examples : ' A Tour in Ireland in 1813,' by an Englishman [John Gough] : H. p. 181. ' The Municipal Government of the Metro- polis,' by a Londoner [G. Horton], 1865.

Un Suedois [le Baron F. de Bourgoing]. Saint-Amand (J. P. Ch. de) [J. P. Chevalier, de Saint-Amand, Cher].

Hagionym. Name of a saint taken as a proper name. See ascetonym. Sir J. A. H. Murray does not recognize the ugly word hagionym, though he has hagiocholy saintly. Though ugly, it is pleasant com- pared with many others. I have no exam- ples of this, but I retain it, as it is in Pier- quin's list.

Hemiapocryph. Name, half fictitious, half the proper name.

Heteronym. One person using the real name of another with intent to deceive. Heteronym is a different name from that which belongs to the writer (G. Peignot, ' Dictionnaire,' i. p. 136). I do not find heteronym in Querard. Littre (under pseu- donyme, vol. iii. p. 1375) says Cotin used a heteronym when he took the name of Boileau to publish his (Cotin's) bad verses. Allonym seems a nicer word than heteronym.

Hieronym. Sacred name used as a proper name.

Example : Le tres saint esprit [J. B. M. Bory de Saint Vincent].

Initialism. Some initials used by an author. This word is in the ' O.E.D.,' vol. v. p. 299, and Ralph Thomas quoted from 'N. & Q,' 11 Feb., 1899, p. 103. Ini- tialism is in my 1867 list, and is frequently used in the ' Handbook ' in 1868, see pp. 64, 65, &c. On p. 2 is a semi-initialism, as ' War Lyrics,' by A. and L. [Shore], 1855 : H. p. 2. It is also used by F. Boase in M.E.B. 1892, vol. i. p. 1648.

Example : V.G.J.D.G.S. (M.) [Monsieur Vogel, grand juge des gardes suisses].
