AMERICAN BOOK. Will any of your readers inform me of the title and date of a work published, I believe, in America some ten or fifteen years ago 1 It closely resembled Granger's ' Biographical History of England ' in giving the names of all authors, &c., and a list of the engravers who engraved their por- traits.

CASTLE SOCIETY OF MUSICK. I have a finely engraved emblematical ticket bearing the following inscription : " The Castle Society of Musick. A Concert Monday 10 Feby., 1734 Thos. Smith, Steward.' ; Could any reader tell me anything about this society 1 Musicus.
CROMWELL BURIED IN RED LION SQUARE. In Sir John Prestwich's ' Respublica ' of 1785 is a quotation at p. 149, from the MS. of his relative John Prestwich, of the Commonwealth time, saying that Oliver Cromwell's " remains were privately interred in a small paddock near Holborn, in that very spot over which the obelisk is placed in Red Lion Square, Holborn" ('The Secret,' John Prestwich). Is this fact known 1 It is not in Cunningham's ' London.'

TIDCOMBE : LONG : JENNINGS : HOWARD : TYLER. Hope Long Tidcombe was born at Atworth, Wilts, in 1695. In 1742 he was living at Marylebone. His whereabouts after this is unknown. The date and place of his death are desired, and also his will. In 1742 he had two brothers-in-law living in London, one being John Godfrey, of St. Lawrence Jewry, jeweller, and the other Robert New- man, of Southwark, sailmaker.
Horod Long was married in St. Faith's (under old St. Paul's), at the age of fourteen, during the reign of Charles I. She was a Wiltshire lady- of great beauty. For their loyalty her brothers and mother died (or were killed) under the cruel tyranny of Oliver Cromwell. To what branch of the Wiltshire Longs did she belong ?
Where was Henry Constantine Jennings, the art collector, from 17C6 to 1768 1
Who was Edward Howard who married a Catherine Eyre ? Was he the same Edward Howard who married Catherine Askull at Lambeth in 1722 1
Who was Capt. Peter Tyler, of the 52nd Foot, who died perhaps (though not cer- tainly) about 1755 1 ' WALTER CHITTY.

"CLYSE." In the precious ' H.E.D.' of
Oxford, to which I have had the honour of
contributing some notes which have elicited
warm thanks from Dr. Murray, there is only
one quotation for the word clyse, and that is
taken from a letter written by myself and
published in the Spectator in 1882. Is it
possible that no earlier occurrence of the
word is to be found for insertion in future
editions of that great word-hoard 1

MORGANATIC MARRIAGE. Does this kind of union bind a royal person in Germany, Russia, &c., in the same way as an ordinary regular marriage ; or is it in the power of the husband to put away a morganatic wife for the mere purpose of marrying one of his own rank ? Is there any disability beyond the rule that the children of such marriages, although legitimate, are incapable of in- heriting from their father or taking any share in his rank 1 Jus.
"SPANISH BAG." In the churchwardens' accounts of St. Helen's parish, Worcester, there occurs this item : " A Spanish bagg for Joyce Morton, Is." What was it ?

BUCHE. In early London this name occurs, but not very frequently. In the case of Jews it is found as a surname. Has it any special signification ? M. D. DAVIS.
CARDINALS AND CRIMSON ROBES. I shall be glad if any reader can inform me when cardinals first wore a robe made of crimson cloth. In the October number of Chambers Journal a statement occurs that there is a family at Burtscheid, near Aix-la-Chapelle, which has made the dye for some generations past. 1 am anxious to obtain the information, because it may enable me to fix a date, within a few years, of a window in a church in Shropshire.

' THE RELIGION OF NATURE DELINEATED.' Some years ago there appeared in ' N. & Q.' several letters about that once-famous book ' The Religion of Nature Delineated.' One of your correspondents, speaking of the copies which Wollaston printed in 1722 for the use of his family and of one or two of his friends, remarks (5 th S. iii. 512): "If a copy of the first edition be extant, it must be exceedingly rare. ;J A second replies (iv. 56), " A copy of the original issue is extant in the library of
