WAR AND MONEY (11 S. xii. 400). The
saying quoted by DR. KREBS seems to be
generally attributed, not to Teodoro Trivul-
zio, but to Gian Giacomo Trivulzio (fl518).
It is referred to in L'Intermediaire for 10 No-
vember, under the heading ' L' Argent est
le nerf de la guerre,' but the correspondents
fail to give the authority.
Fumagalli, it may be noticed, quotes 'Trivulzio's words in French :
" Pour faire la guerre avec succes, trois choses sont absolument ne"cessaires : preincrement, de 1'argent ; deuxiemement, de 1'argent ; et troisi- emement, de 1'argent."
But he gives no reference. See ' Chi 1'ha -detto ] ' 4th ed., No. 644.
EDWARD BENSLY.
' THE LADIES OF CASTELLMARCH '(US. xii. 360, 407). In my reply (p. 407) "mark" should be " Mark," viz., King Marke of " La Mort d'Arthure.'
As I said, " Ladies " is wrong, and should read " Maidens," for Malory (chap. xcii. <id fin. ) mentions "the turnement of the castle of Maidens, that standeth by the hard rock," in the answer given by the knight to King Mark, whom Sir Tristram's " prowesse," then recounted, made " passing heavie and sory." The " hard rock " is Rhiw ; rhianfa is Welsh for " place of maidens."
I am sorry I did not make the initial of "* Mark " plain enough.
H. H. JOHNSON.
103, Abbey Road, Torquay.
Your correspondent is mistaken in saying that this farmhouse is "on Hell's Mouth, or Port Nigel " ; it is really between Llanbedrog And Abersoch on the main road, and stands ^mid tall trees, a relic of the vanished squirearchy of Lleyn. It possesses an interior suggestive of its ancient splendour, and over the entrance porch is carved a coat of arms of many quarterings. Towards the end of the seventeenth century a Sir Wm. Jones occupied the house ; and I believe it was once in the possession of the Assheton- Smiths. From what I have heard in the neighbourhood of Abersoch, there is reason to believe that a novel has been written round Castell-March, but I cannot get the name of it.
ARCHIBALD SPARKE, F.R.S.L.
The pronunciation of this word is as nearly as we can get it in English Casteth- mark, with the accent on the penultimate syllable. It is a fine old manor house (now belonging to Lord Penrhyn), and is situated on Abersoch Bay (not on Forth Nigwl, as
stated by your correspondent MR. H. H.
JOHNSON) about one mile north of Abersoch,
and close to the shore. I know the house
well, but I never heard of the " Ladies."
There is, however, a most amusing (and I
believe true) story told of a former owner,
which may be found in Bradley's ' Highways
and Byways in North Wales,' p. 339.
JOSEPH C. BRIDGE. Chester.
E. V. B. (11 S. xii. 379, 426). It may interest your querist and bibliographers to know that I gave a full biographical and bibliographical account of this lady in The Hunlly Express, Aberdeenshire, on 1 July, 1907, and of her brother, Col. Bertie Gordon, the hero of the wreck of the Abercrombie Robinson, en 15 Feb., 107.

TOWNSHENDS OF RAYNHAM, RECUSANTS
(11 S. xii. 420). Sir Roger Townshend's daughter Katherine married Sir Henry Bedingfeld of Oxburgh, who was a Privy Councillor and Governor of the Tower of London under Queen Mary, and died 22 Aug., 1583 (Cath. Rec. Soc. vi. 426, 432). ^ I cannot at present consult the ' D.N.B.,' but I think there is a biography of Sir Roger's great-grandson Roger therein. He was a recusant (see Cal. Cecil MSS. iv. 267 ; Cath. Rec. Soc. xiii. 94), and on 27 May, 1585, was in the custody of Mr. Alderman Spencer of the City of London (see Cath. Rec. Soc. ii. 239). He probably conformed before he was knighted, and afterwards reverted.
JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.
'THE GENTLEMAN'S CALLING' AND 'THE WHOLE DUTY or MAN ' (11 S. xii. 27, 87). The attribution still remains, I fear, in the region of controversy. There is another name (unmentioned in * N. & Q.') possible as the author of this popular series of religious meditations. To my mind the evidence in favour of Abraham Woodhead is more conclusive than that in favour of Allestree or others. WM. JAGGARD, Lieut.
'THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM' (11 S. xii. 259). If MR. MAURICE JONAS will turn to p. 429 of a reference book he doubtless pos- sesses (the ' Shakespeare Bibliography,' 1911), he will there find the answer to his query. There are three known copies of the 1599 issue. One is at Cambridge, a second at Britwell Court, and a more recently discovered third copy has found a home across the. Atlantic.
