176 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12S. X. MAR. 4, 1922.
are the diamonds that surround them and the precious stones that sparkle on the metal drapery of the saints. Here again there has been a little pilfering. But the ecclesiastical art treasures have been preserved, partly owing to the attitude of the authorities of the Orthodox Church, who at once dissociated religion from politics, and partly owing to a great revival of religious sentiment among the Russian peasantry. Even the Bolshevist found it hopeless to interfere with the masses in this respect of their religious observances. T. Percy Armstrong.

EIGHTEENTH -CENTURY POETS (12 S. x. 91,
108, 137). 4. John Hughes, ' On Arqueanassa
of Colophos.' The lady's name and place of
origin have been curiously perverted. The
Greek elegiac quatrain addressed to Arche-
anassa of Colophon is quoted by Diogenes
Laertius, iii. 23, 31, and ascribed to Plato,
whose mistress Archeanassa was said to
have been. We get the lines again in
Athenaeus, xiii. 589c, d, with the same
-account of Plato's liaison and authorship.
In the ' Palatine Anthology,' vii. 217, the
writer's name is given as Asclepiades, and
the ' Planudean Anthology ' has the same
attribution. The versions in Diogenes and
Athenaeus differ in several particulars
from one another and from the Anthology
version. Commentators refer to a French
translation of the lines by Larcher.
18. I. H. Browne's ' A Pipe of Tobacco.'
See the late W. P. COURTNEY'S paper on
'* Dodsley's Famous Collection of Poetry,'
10 S. vii. 83. The parody of Ambrose
Philips is there said, on the authority of
'Gent. Mag., 1776, p. 165, to have been
written by (Chancellor) John Hoadly.
19. John Straight. See the account of
the Rev. John Straight at 10 S. xi. 143,
in another of W. P. COURTNEY'S articles on
Dodsley's ' Collection.' Straight matricu-
lated from Wadham College, Oxford, on
March 28, 1705, aged 17. This gives an
approximate date for his birth. COURTNEY'S
interesting contributions to ' N. & Q.' on
Dodsley were afterwards privately pub-
lished in book form.
29. Mrs. Greville, author of the ' Prayer
for Indifference.' See a reply by the late
COLONEL PRIDEAUX on ' Prayer for Indiffer-
ence,' at 10 S. ii. 335. According to him,
.Frances, daughter of James Macartney, mar-
ried, in January, 1747, Fulke Greville, son of
the Hon. Algernon Greville and grandson of
Fulke Greville, fifth Lord Brooke, and died
in 1789. In the ' Minerva Library ' edition of
Locker -Lampson's ' Lyra Elegantiarum ' the
date of Mrs. Greville's birth is given, with a
query, as 1720.
COLONEL PRIDEAUX notes that she had
several children, the most celebrated of
whom was Mrs. Crewe, the beautiful Whig
hostess. EDWARD BENSLY.
If I. A. WILLIAMS is including any
eighteenth- century dialect poems, I have a
good MS. collection of unpublished ' Rhymes
of the Times ' of that period which I should
be happy to place at his disposal.

8. Henry Carey's dates are given as 1693 ?-
1743 in *' The Oxford Book of English
Verse.'
10. Mrs. Mary Monk. W. H. K. Wright,
in ' West Country Poets,' gives her dates as
1680-1715, and says that Polwhele mentions
| her as a Devonian, also information of her
life.
18. I. H. Browne's ' Pipe of Tobacco.'
lAs regards the "ingenious friend" who
! sent him the parody of Ambrose Philips,
! Fairholt, in his ' Tobacco : its History and
Associations,' states (on the authority of
Ritson) that the author was Dr. John
j Hoadley.
28. Mary Whately. I believe there is
I some account of her in ' Staffordshire
Stories ' (1906), by Mr. F. W. Hackwood. She
married the Rev. John Darwall (1731-89) in
1766. Their daughter Elizabeth (1779- 1851)
was author of ' The Storm and Other Poems '
! (1810). For further particulars of the
I Darwalls see Simms's ' Bibliotheca Staff ordi-
| ensis.' Four poems by Mrs. Darwall appear
i in vol. iii. of ' A Collection of Poems, in Four
Volumes, by Several Hands ' (G. Perch,
1775).
29. Mrs. Greville. Frederic Rowton, in his
' Female Poets of Great Britain,' gives the
' Prayer for Indifference ' and the Countess of
Carlisle's answer, but can give no particulars.
Allibone's ' Dictionary of English and Ameri-
can Authors ' gives " Mrs. Frances Greville,"
who, he says, was daughter of James
Macartney, wife of Fulke Greville, and
mother of the " celebrated beauty " Mrs.
Crewe and of Captain William Fulke
Greville, and wrote the ' Prayer ' about
1753. No other dates given.
