In the late Mr. J. P. Edmond's biblio- graphy appended to Mr. William Walker's ' Bards of Bonaccord,' p. 641, I find the entry : " Kennedi (J. Aberdonensis) ^Eneas Britannicus (Carolus II.) Carmine Virgiliano, 1663." But apparently Mr. Edmond had not seen the book, as he did not include it in his ' Aberdeen Printers,' although the types and ornaments of the title-page are un- mistakably those used by John Forbes in well-known works printed by him, such as the ' Generall Demands ' of 1662.
Of the author I know nothing, save that he shared with his father of the same name the office of Sheriff Clerk of Aberdeenshire. P. J. ANDERSON.

COUNT TRUCHSESS OF ZEYL-WURZACH. I shall be glad of information concerning the male descendants of Joseph, Count Truchsess of Zeyl-Wurzaoh, Grand Dean of the Cathedral of Strasburg, and Canon of the Metropolitan Chapter of Cologne, living in 1802. Replies may be sent direct.

DEFOE'S NOVELS ISSUED IN PARTS. Apropos of the sale a week or two ago of the edition of * Robinson Crusoe ' published as a supplement to a newspaper, I should be glad of any information relating to another work by Defoe, apparently published in the same manner. This is ' A New Voyage round the World.' My copy, which is in folio, was issued in forty-four parts of two leaves each, and the printer was manifestly short of type, for each part is printed partly in roman and partly in italic type. The first five parts are in two sizes of much smaller roman type, and the printer appears to have been afraid of exhausting his copy too soon, for the remaining parts are in much larger roman and italic. On the title-page is a very coarsely executed cut of a three- masted ship,' and below this the imprint " Chester ; Printed by W. Cooke in Foregate- street." The first regular edition of the
'New Voyage' was published in 1725, at
which time Cooke was printing in Chester ;
and as his will was proved in 1740, my
edition must be before that date. I am
anxious to find out whether it was issued
with a newspaper, and if so, the name of
the newspaper ; or whether it was simply
issued in parts as a speculation of the printer.
Would a local printer be permitted to reprint
the work free, or would he have to pay the
owner of the copyright for the privilege ?

WHEEL CROSSES. In Cornwall there are a large number of crosses called wheel crosses. This kind of cross consists of a shaft with a round beaded head, on each side of which is an equal-limbed cross filling the circle. Are there any of these crosses in Brittany, in the counties on the Mediter- ranean, cr in the East ? If so, in what books are they described ?
I shall be glad to hear direct.

MASSACRE OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW IN PARIS. Many persons, both French and English, were saved from the massacre by taking refuge in the English Embassy at Paris. Where can a list of these be seen ?

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. A relative of the present writer set out at San Francisco in 1891 to find the source of three quotations. The first " Friends such as we desire are dreams and fables " she found in Chile, a year or two later, in a volume of Emerson. After fifteen years the second turned up in a copy of ' Adam Bede ' at Lausanne. It was assaying of Mrs. Poyser :
But wooden folks would need ha' wooden things t' handle."
The third remains unfound, and an imploring voice from Iquique asks my help. Can any reader say where I shall find " No star ever rose and set without influence somewhere " ? M. H.
Where in Macaulay occurs " They mis- took the ends, and overestimated the powers, of Government " ? I think in one of the ' Essays.' N. W. H.
