12 s. vni. MAY 14, 192L] NOTES AND QUERIES. 387 tched by George Cruikshank. Hone's research was so excellent that his remarks are^used and re -used to this day ; in his own' time (1825) J. S. Forsyth lifted them bodily into his unfamiliar work, (5) * The Antiquary's Portfolio ' (vol. i., pp. 50-60). ; The literature of this subject of the two j giants became, after Hone's excellent work, j almost fragmentary. In 1830 appeared ! (6) 'Civic Groans, or the Lament of Gog! and Magog, with an additional Groan for the Shade of a late City Epicure.' This is ; a satire much after the style of No. 1, which i had an earlier imitator in 1768, (7) 'A Dialogue between the two Giants at Guild- hall, to which is added a vindication of two of Mr. W(ilke)'s Election Pieces,' 8vo. i Almost of Hone's period is that pseudo- 1 antiquarian (8) ' Gog and Magog, a Legen- i dary Ballad,' published by Effingham Wilson, 1836, but not until 1859, when: Camden Hotten published that pleasant little volume (9) by P. W. Fairholt, F.S.A., ' Gog and Magog, the Giants in Guildhall,' was there a serious attempt to follow Hone j HI the antiquarian consideration of the subject. Even this book was an enlargement i of a somewhat desultory lecture, but so far i as I am aware nothing has displaced it or | even have there been better essays in mock j or real consideration of their significance than those appearing in The New Monthly Magazine (June and July, 1828), ' Gog and Magog,' ' Vindiciae magogianae.' If | any other writer has essayed to expound the subject I shall be glad to learn of his j work. Obviously the giants require a biography worthy of their antiquity, significance and j association with civic magnificence. ALECK ABBAHAMS. ALDEBURGH.
