iv. NOV. 25,1905.1 NOTES AND QUERIES. 435 namesake, the late accomplished antiquary A. J. Kenipe, F.S.A., which is accompaniec by the copy of a supposed portrait copied _by Albin Martin from a picture in the possession of the Duke of Sutherland, which was formerly in the collection of Horace Walpole at Strawberry Hill. It formed one of four panels which were doors to an altarpiece that, at the beginning of the eighteenth •century, came into the possession of Peter le Neve, Norroy, and were subsequently sawn into four pictures by Horace Walpole. The portraits on the outside panels were supposed by Walpole to represent Cardina' Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, and Cardina! Kempe, Archbishop of Canterbury ; but the symbols of a lion and of a scourge which are figured in the pictures denote, in the opinion of competent antiquaries, that the portraits were intended to represent St. Jerome and St. Ambrose. A reference on this point may be made to the paper on the memorials oi persons buried in the church of Allhallows, Barking, by George Eichard Corner, F.S.A., -and John Qough Nichols, F.S.A., which was published in the Transactions of the London

  • nd Middlesex Archaeological Society (1862),

ii. 245-6. W. F. PRIDEAUX. A portrait of this archbishop will be found in the ' History of the Kempe Family,' by Mr. F. Hitchin-Kemp. GEKALD FOTHERGILL. 11, Brussels Road, New Wandsworth, S.W. This prelate is represented in the east •window of the church at Bolton Percy, and there is a portrait of him in the Archbishop's palace at Bishoptborpe. This was presented

  • few years ago by Mr. C. E. Kempe, who

claims to be a collateral descendant of the fifteenth - century cardinal. See Keble's

See 4th S. iv. 419 ; vii. 321. A. E. BAYLEY. "PAULES FETE" (10th S. ii. §7, 138).—This phrase occurs in an award made by the Searchers of the Wrights for the city of York in March, 1467. They

  • ' haue demed founde vat J>° tenantes of ]>e saide

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY" (10th S. IV. 368).—It is interesting to find that one of our •Old English poets consoled himself by a similar reflection. In the 'Complaint of Deor' we find, five times over, viz. in 11. 7, 13,17,20, 27, the excellent sentiment: " Thses ofereode, thisses swa maeg !" That is to say, " I survived that trouble, so likewise may I survive this one ! " WALTER W. SKEAT. AUTHORS OP QUOTATIONS WANTED (10th S. iv. 369).—The often-quoted line, A rose-red city half as old as Time, from Dean Burgon's Newdigate prize poem ' Petra,' of 1845, owes the last five words to Samuel llogers, who in his 'Italy' (1842), p. 245, writes :— By many a temple half as old as Time. A. E. BAYLEY. The line is in Burgon's Newdigate poem ; but the author has borrowed his thought from llogers's 'Italy.' I noticed this re- semblance in an anonymous letter which appeared in The Times many years ago. E. YARDLEY. [Reply also from the REV. J. PICKFORD.] "PHOTOGRAPHY " (10th S. iv. 367).—In 'The Penny Cyclopsedia' (1840), under 'Photo- genic Drawings,' we read :— " Such apparatus is named after its inventor the Daguerreotype, andlthe process itself either photo- geny, photography, or heliography (sun-drawing). The invention was first formally communicated to the public by M. Arago, who read an account of the Daguerreotype before the Academy of Sciences, January 7th, 1839." Probably, therefore, that was the first place in which the word " photography " (in its French form) was used, and Sir John Herschel seems to have immediately adopted it, in preference to the others. Blackheath. THE DEVIL AND ST. BOTOLPH (10th S. iv. 328).—The devil still flies about the west end of Middleham Church, and keeps up an incessant breeze as he awaits the exit of a wily canon who appointed a meeting there, and left the building by a side-door to avoid the encounter. ST. SWITHIN. 'BYWAYS IN THE CLASSICS' (10th S. iv. 261, 352).—I see that Byron excuses himself for ihrusting in the tu : and it was careless of me to overlook that. But he certainly thought

hat he was quoting from Horace, who has

jxpressed himself similarly :— Auream quisquis mediocritatem Diligit, tutus caret obsoleti Sordibus tecti. It would have been better if Byron had quoted the Latin correctly. Medio might lave been a trisyllable in his verse, as it is in the original. Shakspeare often makes these Latin words trisyllables:—
