of Modena would be some small equivalent
to his pretentions, and would at least afford
him a settlement " ; and goes on : " Till
such happy juncture, the king, who loves
prince Edward, and pities him, is resolved to
erve him with all his power," i.e., with the
" intention to reestablish him on the throne
of his ancestors." E. S. DODGSON.
"Ma. PAUL, THE PARSON" (12 S. iv. 190). The Rev. William Paul was the eldest son of Mr. John Paul of Little Ashby, Leicestershire, and was born in 1678. He entered Rugby School on Aug. 18, 1696, and was there two years. He proceeded to St. John's College, Cambridge, and graduated B.A. 1701, M.A. 1705, and became Vicar of Orton-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire, 1709. He joined the Jacobite army at Preston in 1715, and acted as chaplain. He was taken in disguise in London after the defeat of the Jacobites, and was executed for high treason July 13, 1716. His dying speech is given in Nichols, vol. iv. i. 24. A. T. M.

GOLDSWORTHY FAMILY OF DEVONSHIRE
(12 S. iv. 185). Philip Goldsworthy, who was for many years attached to the Royal Household of George III. as Equerry and Clerk Marshal, was the son of Burrington Goldsworthy of Cadiz, where he was probably born. G. F. R. B.
CHRISTOPHER BAYNES, D.D. (12 S. iv. 134). Christopher Baynes, M.A., was Prebendary of Hoxton in St. Paul's, London, from Aug. 15, 1713, to his death in 1718, some time before Nov. 7 of that year.

" YOURS TO A CINDER " (12 S. iv. 189). I fancy this is only a humorous way of implying " Yours to the end." Whether buried or cremated, we all tend to become dust and ashes ; and it would probably strike somebody that the word " cinder " might be used for " ashes " with a striking effect.
Cinder Wednesday is sometimes the funny man's rendering of Merer edi des cendres. I have met with " Yours to a cinder " for the first time in a newly published book. ST. SWITHIN.
" Yours to a cinder " is a quaint way of
expressing an undying love between sweet-
hearts, and indicates that when love has
burnt to a cinder it is still not dead, but
remains as hot as a cinder or cake just out
of the fire. THOS. RATCLIFFE.

Surely the meaning of this fairly common ending to a letter is that the writer will remember his friend even when grilling in hell. DE V. PAYEN-PAYNE.
THE LIGHT DIVISION'S MARCH TO TALA- VERA, JULY, 1809 (12 S. iv. 181). Much new light has been thrown upon this by Prof. C. Oman in an article which appeared in the Journal of the Royal United Service Institution in May, 1916 (vol. Ixi. p. 295), and in a " Note " in vol. Ixii. p. 692. Forty- two miles is the distance which Oman arrives at. Craufurd's command was called the Light " Brigade " in 1809. It had not then attained the rank of " Division."

GRAMMAR SCHOOL REGISTERS (12 S. iv. 78, 145, 174). I am obliged to W. P. G. of Liverpool for his information about St. Andrew's Grammar School, Hatton Garden. At present I want especially to get information about the registers of the chief Grammar Schools in- Lincolnshire, where they go back as far as 1650 or 1620.
Braunton, Devon
I fear that very few Grammar School Registers are now in existence. Is there any list available for reference of all the known printed School Registers, whether Public Schools or Grammar Schools ? For genea- logical purposes such a list would be invaluable.

REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLY TRINITY (12 S. iii. 168, 231, 307 ; iv. 55). M. PIERRE TURPIN (12 S. iii. 231) says :
" It seems extraordinary that such a learned archaeologist as Albert Way has, \rithout any reason, omitted so much as a mention of the emblematic Dove when describing, in Dean Stanley's ' Memorials ' . . . . the representation of the Trinity. . . .in the painting on the canopy of the Black Prince's tomb in Canterbury Cathe- dral," &c.
But was not Albert Way right in the omission ? From my recollection of a careful inspection which I made of the tomb and of the canopy when I visited Canterbury nine years ago (in June, 1909), the Dove is i not to be seen on the canopy. In the four
