examples of domestic architecture of the fifteenth
century now remaining : it is peculiarly interest-
ing as conveying a striking impression of the
splendid style in which the merchant princes of
that day were lodged."
It is now too late to inquire how Mr. Cotting- ham became possessed of this valuable relic ; but, in view of the re-erection of Crosby Hall at Chelsea, it is a matter of present-day interest to ask whether the roof is still in existence, and who is now the owner.
The collection was advertised for sale by Messrs. Christie & Manson in The Art Journal Advertiser, June, 1850 ; and this was followed by a descriptive paragraph in the July number of The Art Journal, p. 233. An illustrated catalogue of the collection was prepared by Henry Shaw, F.S.A., several of his woodcuts being used in the article in The Art Journal for March, 1851, above referred to. Was the collection eventually dispersed, or sold en bloc ? It may be added as a matter of interest that Mr. Cottingham's collection was housed at his residence in the Waterloo Bridge Road.

CURIOUS WILL, 1564. Mr. J. Rogers in 4 Sherwood Forest,' 1908, p. 352, gives aa extract from the will of Sir John Markham. of Cottom, Notts, who died in 1564, which commences thus :
"In the name of God Amen.... I, Sir John Markham of Cottom, in the county of Notts, Knighte, hole yn bodie, my wittes and memory
symple but not decayed Firste, I give and
bequethe my soule to Almighty God Further,
I give my bodie to the earthe, and my Sinnes to the Divell and the Worlde."
Are these unusual expressions, " wittes and memory symple " and " Sinnes to the Divell and the Worlde " ? They are certainly very quaint, and seem to deserve record in ' N. & Q.' Can parallels be produced ? J. B. McGovERN.

SAINTE-BEUVE. The catalogue of the last exhibition held at the Grafton Galleries by the International Society of Sculptors, Painters, and Gravers contained the follow- ing (copied verbatim) :
" A cherished dream of Saint-Beaure was the erection of a temple to the neglected and mis- understood. ' Aux artistes qui n'ont pas brille, aux amants qui n'ont pas aime", & celle elite infinie que ne visiterent jamais 1'occasion le bonheur ou la gloire,' " &c.
Will any reader kindly confirm the correct- ness of the quotation and give its source ?

JESSIE BROWN AND THE RELIEF OP LUCKNOW. Frederick Goodall, R.A., made the above the subject of a fine picture (reproduced in the Christmas number of The London Magazine of 1910). Vandenhoff wrote of Jessie Brown : By night and day, with rare unwearied zeal, She cheer' d the* soldiers, brought their scanty
meal,
Bore orders to the walls, the wounded nurs d, With words of comfort slaked their dying thirst.
We are told further that "worn out by ministrations, she fell asleep, and dreamed she heard the Highland slogan. But it
