CORNISH RIMES IN AN EPITAPH. (See 9 S. xi. 146, 216 ; xii. 51.) The subjoined from The Royal Cornwall Gazette of 7 March may, though not in rime, be added in the interests of the Cornish language :
" In the new cemetery at Paul, near Penzance over against the old one where one sees the pitaph of Dolly Pentreath, there is the following, upon a headstone of granite :
" In loving memory of Peter, the beloved son of Peter and Alice Jacka, who died 24th April, 1910, aged 34 years. Also Peter and John, their children who died in infancy. AN DEW BITHOL

VTTHQUETHEK. The Eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deut. xxxiii. 27.
" The stone is marked as the work of W. H. Snell, of Newlyn, and the Cornish translation is from the pen of Mr. Henry Jenner, of Bospowes, Hayle. It is also worth noting that the mono- gram IHS, which occurs on the western doorway of Paul Church, may be quoted to show that it was in use long before the time of Ignatius of Loyola, who did not invent it, as has been imagined by some, but merely continued its use from me- diteval times."

DAVID LLOYD, WINCHESTER SCHOLAR, was born at Rosgill in Carnarvonshire. His mother was of the Bodwell family, and he had a Jesuit uncle who went by the name of Father Buckley.
He went to Shrewsbury School, aged 13 ; but was at once removed to Worcester Collegiate School, where he stayed three years. In 1618 he became a scholar of Winchester College, and appears in Mr. Kirby's ' Winchester Scholars ' as then aged 12, though according to his own account given in Foley, iv. 521, he was really 16. After four years there he crossed to Calais and proceeded to Liege, where his uncle was Jesuit novice-master, and was received into the Catholio Roman Church. After nine months at St. Omer, in the College there, he was admitted to the English College at Rome, 11 Oct., 1622, and took the College oath 1 May, 1623. He received minor orders 1623, became subdeacon March, 1626, deacon April, 1626, and priest 13 April, 1626, and left for the mission 24 Aug., 1629. Afterwards he was procurator for many years of the College at Piacenza. He was drowned in the Channel while returning to England, about 1650.

WE must request correspondents desiring in-
formation on family matters of only private interest
to affix their names and addresses to their queries,
in order that answers may be sent to them direct.
AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. I am
anxious to find where the following frag-
ments of verse were first issued. Can
' N. <fc Q.' assist me ?
There in that smallest bud lay furled The secret and meaning of all the world.
Perhaps if we had never met,
I had been spared this vain regret,
This endless striving to forget.
Those rude days are gone
When creeds were taught by headsman's sword, Scaffolds were pulpits for the word,
Doctrine by faggots shone.
They serve me in princely fashion, In the wrong as well as the right ;
They give all the heart can long for, Except the light.
Choked in the muddy deep I deem'd him dead, His white bones rotting on the shore of France ; Yet but this hour 1 saw him. 'Tis no dream, No nightmare juggle.
ASTAHTE.
" Stated time is a hedge to duty, and defends it against many an incursion and temptation to omission,"
I believe I read this half a century ago in one of Adam Smith's works. Am I correct in my quotation and authorship ? In what work does it occur ? E. D. T.
A DICKENS PLAYHOUSE. In one of the larger Calif ornian cities San Diego, I think I remember seeing a fairly large building labelled " The Pickwick Theatre." It would be interesting to know what other theatres exist, whether under the American or the British flag, which bear this sort of witness to the perfect affection felt for that pre-eminently manly, charming, and clever "Britisher."

EUGENE ARAM AS PHILOLOGIST. Can any of your philological readers give me a reference to any fuller appreciation of Eugene Aram's work in philology than is contained in Dr. Richard Garnett's article in the D.N.B.,' or Havelock Ellis's brief estimate a ' The Criminal ' ? I am convinced that Aram began, if he did not complete, a Celtic dictionary at Lynn, other than the ' Essay on a Lexicon, with Specimens,' written in York Castle. The young woman
