I do not know when it ^commenced, but it ^was going strong . during the time I was at the school, 1873-6. ' I think it was carried on until the school ceased to exist. HERBERT SOUTHAM. T VTTT __. -p. _,_,,-, nxxTxr* no Q PATTERN CHINA (12 B. vm. 496 ; ix. 78). About 1873 I was taken to see a very pretty play called ' Old China,' or some similar title, which was presented ai St Gpnrfrp'q TTall "Rpapnt Strppf T think that cSne Grair S Kate 4hop THE ROYAL ROUTE TO WBYMOUTH (12 S, ix. 109). The following extracts regarding King George III. may be of interest : The Edinburgh Advertiser : ^t. 11, 1789. - Their Majesties and the Princesses continue in perfect health at Wey- mouth. On Sunday His Majesty bathed in the sea, and afterwards, with the Queen and Princesses, went on board, the " Magnificent " of 74 guns, and heard divine service performed by t he Rev. Mr. Clifton, Chaplain of the ship. Sept . 18 , 1789. On Monday His Majesty and the Royal Family left Weymouth amidst the acclamations of a loyal people, on their return to London. . . . The sea bathing has been of great "' ^ wi " ' " s % a man was examining an old china tea-pot, upon which was the customary design, when he fell asleep and dreamt the origin. This was then presented if my memory is correct with a transparent screen between the actors and the audience^ either the whole or part of the time. There was a song, " This is the tea-pot, the tea-pot, the tea-pot, This is the tea- pot, the tea-pot of my sire," or something to this effect, which was sung to the air of " This is the sabre," &c., &c. HERBERT SOUTHAM. EPITAPH IN BENSON CHURCH, OXFORD- SHIRE (12 S. viii. 409). The Quelche epitaph is given in Silvester Tissington's ' Collection of Epitaphs,' 1857, p. 245. Besides some differences in spelling the wife's name, Jane, is omitted, but the year of her death, 1619, and her age, 59, are in ! the seventh line and the figure 1 appears after " together in " thus, together in 1 j^ed^ At the end is " Ano Dmi 16 ." If Tissington's copy is correct the tw r o i figures following 16 have presumably perished. ROBERT PIERPOINT. ANDERSON FAMILY, BARONETS OF BROUGH- TON (12 S. viii. 268). According to XVotton's ' English Baronetage,' 1741, vol. iii., p. 192, and Debrett's ' Baronetage of England,' 1808, vol. i., p. 334, Stephen, seventh son of the 1st baronet, died without issue. Neither of these books gives the dates of his birth and marriage. G. E. C.'s

Their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal, Princess Augusta, and Princess Elizabeth, set out from Tottenham Park at ten <y clock this morning, and here at three thls afternoon, in perfect JAMES SETON-ANDERSON. 39, Carlisle Road, Hove, Sussex. JOHN WILSON, BOOKSELLER (12 S. v. 297). At the above reference, CAPTAIN JAG- GARD, after mentioning that he supplied to Alexander Ireland the quotation, "' O for a booke and a shadie nooke," added that he was under the impression he had been told by his antiquarian friend, the late Thomas Simmons, that he (Simmons) obtained the quotation from a fragment of an Elizabethan book of verse ; and promised, when he had access to his collection, to give the exact year Simmons first published the verses. May I be allowed to express the hope that CAPTAIN JAGGARD can now throw some further light on this interesting problem. J. R. H. THE SENTRY AT POMPEII ( 12 S. viii. 131,177, 258). At the second reference PROFESSOR BENSLY writes : " The ill-informed are still called on at times to believe that the town was overwhelmed by a stream of lava." I read on p. 176 of * Books in General ' (3rd Series) by " Solomon Eagle," in an article called ' The Lost Classics,' the follow- ing : All that is necessary (said a writer in the Classical Eevien- a few years ago), in order to
