A itony calling Cleopatra " Egypt." Whether bl 3 cases are quite parallel I will not deter- in ne. But I imagine that Theobald would hi ve inserted a comma if he had thought the

  • e ise to be that supposed, and Theobald, as a

Q >,arterly reviewer lias lately shown, was a fo better critic than the " piddling Tibbald " 3f Pope's sneer.

[ think that Henry's words may be under- stood thus: "You are the right, the true, the ideal Justice, who bears the sword and the balance : as such 'you weigh it well' in the scales, this matter between us : as such, therefore, I invest you afresh with those her attributes."

I find two other places where Shakspeare uses "right" much in the same manner. In 'As You Like It,' III. ii., Touchstone says : " It is the right butterwomen's rank to market," explained to mean the regular jog-trot rhyme, like the patter of a market woman's horse on the road. And in ' Ant. and Cleop.,' IV. xii., Antony says :

this false soul of Egypt

Like a right gipsy, hath at fast and loose Beguil'd me to the very heart of loss. She is an Egyptian, and the typical beguiling gipsy. C. B. MOUNT.

KAISAR - 1 - HIND." The recent death of Dr. Leitner calls to mind that he was the originator of the title " Kaisar-i-Hind " as he official translation in India of " Empress af India." Sir George Birdwood in the enceum of the llth of November, 1876, describes this as being " a most happy trans- lation," arid says that the complete style in spite of the mixture of languages might be Maharaj-Adhiraja Sri Rani, Victoria, Kaisar-

-Hind," Great Sovereign over Sovereigns,

Consecrated Queen, Victoria, Empress of ndia. In the Commemoration Gallery at he Oriental Institute at Waking is the only tatue in existence representing Her Majesty n this distinctive character, and in an ac- iount given in the Daily Telegraph it is tated :

"It was executed at the time of the Diamond ubilee by the Italian sculptor Signor Giuseppi jworfini, under the personal instructions of Dr. iLeitner, and differs from all others in several essen- | lial particulars. The English Royal Crown, worn i in the back of the head, had to be discarded, as re- I embiing too much an Indian topknot, indicative of I enunciation rather than rule. So the handsome I rown on the Indian rupee was adopted as a prac- ' lical and appropriate solution of the difficulty. ' Another feature of the statue is the ' a'rq-us-Sal- \ kinat,' or 'vein of rule,' over the eye or forehead, I vhich Oriental tradition assigns to the person who IB destined for sway. The Queen is represented as

j Bearing several Indian orders, and the title ' Kaisar-


-Hind' is inscribed on the stone in Persian and Hindi characters."

CROMWELLITES AND WILLIAMITES IN IRE- LAND. With reference to the inquiries in ' N. & Q.' on the subject of the English fol- lowers of Cromwell and William III. in their Irish campaigns, perhaps the following names in rhyme, extracted from that valuable con- tribution to the authentic history of Ireland, ' Cromwell in Ireland : a History of Crom- well's Irish Campaign,' by the Rev. Denis Murphy, S.J. (Dublin, Gill & Son, 1883), may not be uninteresting to the many corre- spondents of ' N. & Q.' on the subject in ques- tion. The author states that it is " from a MS. found among the papers of the Most Rev. Dr. Coppinger " (vide p. 428) :
