"Whig, one of a party opposite to the Tories." "Whiggish (Sax. Whey) because (as some say) the name Whig was first given to the Field-Meeters in Scotland, whose chief diet was sour milk-a nickname the opposite to that of Tory, and is applied to those that were against the Court interest in the time of King Charles II., King James II, &c., and for it in the reign of King William and King George." Tory, a name which the Protestants in Ireland gave to those Irish robbers, &c., that were outlaw'd for robbery and murder; also, the enemies of King Charles I., accusing him of favouring the rebellion and massacre of the Protestants in Ireland, gave his partizans the name of Tories; but of late the name has been transmitted to those that affect the style of High Churchmen, and since the death of King James II. to the partizans of the Chevalier de St. George." Is this the first edition of Bailey's Dictionary? Can any one give a definition published before 1730? CLARRY. MARRIAGE OF CHARLES I. AND HENRIETTA MARIA. The following extract, describing the rites observed at the wedding of Charles I. and Henrietta Maria, may fitly find a corner for itself in "N. & Q." It is taken from the treatise by Pope Benedict XIV., De Synod. Diaces., Romæ, MDCCLXVII., lib. vi. cap. v. § 5 (vol. i. p. 154): "In Collationibus Ecclesiasticis Parisiensibus de Matrimonio, tom. iii. lib. i. collat 2, § 5, exhibetur ritus quo celebratæ fuerunt nuptiæ inter IIenrichetam e Regio Francorum sanguine Principem, et Carolum I., Magna Britanniæ Regem, quibus Apostolicam dispensationem Urbanus Papa VIII. in eum finem concesserat: quæ nuptiæ descriptæ habentur etiam in Historia, seu Commentario, cui titulus Mercurius Gallicus, tom. ii. p. 359. Narrant itaque, matrimonium inter prædictam Catholicam Principem, & hæretici Regis Procuratorem, extra Ecclesiam contractum fuisse ad limina Ecclesiæ Metropolitana Parisiensis coram Cardinale magno Francia Eleemosynario, a quo tamen benedictio nuptialis data non fuit deinde Britannici Regis Procuratorem novam nuptam deduxisse usque ad ingressum Chori: ibi vero a prædicto Cardinale celebratam solemni ritu fuisse Missam, adstantibus Rege, & Regina Franciæ, & nova Magnæ Britanniæ Regina, ac universa Regia Familia: sed prædictum Regis Angliæ Procuratorem, quamvis ipse Catholicus esset, cum personam gereret Principis Anglicanæ sectæ addicti, in proximum Archiepiscopi Palatium interim secessisse, donec Missa terminaretur; qua demum expleta, ad reducendam ab Ecclesia Reginam accessit." The proxy for Charles I. was the Duc de Chevereux. JOHNSON BAILY.

On the base of the monument : "Etiam præ memoria Bevillis Johannis filiis Thomæ Wymberley armigeri hinc proxime in vicina ecclesiæ Spaldensi in-humati anno MDCXVI. necnon Elizabethæ et Franciscæ uxorum filiabus Gulielmo Welbye prænobili ordine Balnei Equitis Eque villa Gedeniensi qui hic juxta jacent sub spe Queries. [We must request correspondents desiring information on family matters of only private interest, to affix their names and addresses to their queries, in order that the answers may be addressed to them direct.] stances of the former are found among the Afghans (Bengal Asiatic Society Journal, No. iii., 1862, P. 270); of the latter, throughout India (Maine's Vill. Com., passim), Russia (Rev. J. Long's Vill. Com. in India and Russia), Ireland (Maine's Early Hist. of Inst.), England (Nasse's Agric.

One of these Scandinavia (see, for instance, J. S. Mill's Polit.

Doctorem Layton in Visitacione regia provincie I should be glad if any of your correspondents Eboracen. et Episcopatu Coventris et Lichf. would furnish me with a list of common Aryan cum aliis," from the library of the Duke of Devon-words indicating this common Aryan agricultural shire at Chatsworth. This volume, which is civilization. Professor Müller, at vol. ii. p. 236, described as a 4to. in the Parentalia of Dr. Pegge's gives "corn" and " tree"; but the list should son, but as an 8vo. in Nichols's Anecdotes, is not surely be of some length. It should include words in the British Museum, nor, strange to say, is denoting some system of government, and perhaps there a copy at Chatsworth. I have failed to find the method of cultivation. a copy in several likely quarters, and as I am wantG.

Now I have an old "coat of arms," given me lately Chevin House, Belper. by a friend, which was borne by an Arthur Young, who was said to have been descended from an Italian family of rank that fled from Italy, on account of religious persecution, and settled in England. His arms :-Gu., a lion statant passive or; crest,-a lion's head guard. or, between two wings ar., each charged with a fleur-de-lis az. At the bottom are the initials A. Y. and the date 1689, all painted on parchment. BIRDING-PIECE. Will some one be so good as to explain the difference between a birding-piece and a fowling-piece? That the terms were not synonymous is evident, for in a statement of arms, armour, and ammunition seized from dangerous and disaffected persons in 1684, we find that both descriptions of arms were taken from the same person, e.g. from "William Clutterbuck, of Estinton," co. Glouc., were seized, inter alia, one "fowling gunn" and one "birding gunn"; from "Mr. Charles Trinder, of Burton on ye Water," in the same county, were taken, inter alia, one "fowling peice" and one "birding peice"; and so from many others. Moreover, we find the names occurring together in old inventories. Bicknor Court, Coleford, Glouc. JOHN MACLEAN. COMMON ARYAN WORDS FOR AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTIONS.-Professor Max Müller (Science of Language, eighth edit., vol. i. p. 246) claims that the Aryans, before their first separation, had advanced to a state of agricultural civilization (see also Bunsen's Egypt, vol. iv. p. 562). Now we know from the researches of Sir Henry Maine and others something about this common agricultural civilization; the essential feature being the village community or cultivating household. In the earliest periods the whole community is shifted, at certain seasons, from one tract of land to another; in the later periods, the allotments incident to every householder only, the village itself remaining fixed. In I should like to know whether, from the fact of their crests being identically the same, it shows conclusively a relationship. S. W. B. U.S. America. ANNIBAL CARACCI painted a dead Christ at Where the grave, surrounded with four women. is the original, and what its history? The engraver was Jean Louis Roullet. I saw recently here a fine specimen of this masterpiece of drawing and engraving. If I am well informed only three copies are known to exist. Where are they, and who are their fortunate owners? On the lower left corner of the engraving are the words: "Annibal Caracci pinxit, Joan. Lud. Roullet del. & sculpt. Cum privilegio regis." G. A. M. Washington. take it in the present, when it is intended in the past sense, and vice versa. Lord Byron used to write the word in the past tense "redde," but his example has never been followed. Ought not the past form to be either "red," after the analogy of the verb "to lead," or "readed," after that of the verbs "to bead" and "to knead"? J. W. W. THE GREENFIELD FAMILY.-Can you furnish information respecting this family? Richard Greenfield married a sister of the Rev. Dr. Odam, Rector of Charleton, Devon. The family resided near Exeter about the year 1775. They held property in Tedburn St. Mary and in Charleton, Devon. Are there any descendants of the family now living, either male or female? R. LL. GWYNNE. Kilvey, Swansea. VERE ESSEX CROMWELL.-In the Irish Parliament for 1634 and 1662 he was member for county Down, and was afterwards created Earl of Ardglass. Was he of the same family as the Protector, or related in any way? E. Q. Claughton, Cheshire. LONDON FOGS.-Is there any mention of London fogs to be found earlier than the following, from Evelyn's Diary for the extraordinarily severe winter of 1683/4, which is quoted in Lady Russell's Life, vol. i. p. 115 ?— "London, by reason of the excessive coldness of the aire hindering the ascent of the smoke, was so fill'd with the fuligenous steame of the sea-coale, that hardly could one see crosse the streetes, and this filling the lungs with its grosse particles exceedingly obstructed the breast, so as one could hardly breath." Can any of your readers refer me to any satisfactory account of this disagreeable phenomenon? Is it found elsewhere, as in Manchester, in the same intensity? If not, can it be traced in part to the natural features of London, e.g., to the hills on the north or to the river? Has it been observed to depend at all on the state of the wind or of the tide? R. E. B. Chelmsford. THE WIDOW OF LORD BACON.-Did she remarry? Where did she reside? When did she die? PHYLLIS. HERALDIC.-Whose arms are the following?Sable, a chevron ermine, between three beavers passant argent, collared argent and sable. Crest : On a coronet, a pelican with wings elevated and vulning her breast, argent, collared argent and Motto: sable. 66 Assiduitas." They are on a book-plate which has been in my family about a century. Probably a Cheshire or Derbyshire family. W. H. THE CLUBS OF DUBLIN.-Will some kind correspondent of " N. & Q." direct me to information Mrs. DESTRUCTION OF CONSTANTINOPLE. Piozzi, writing in 1816 (Whalley's Memoirs, 1863, vol. ii. p. 430), mentions the proposed crusade against Turkey of three great Christian powers, and says: "I think there is an account somewhere that Harvey, who first discovered the circulation of the blood, did, in the year 1580, tell, in some long-forgotten treatise of his, how an Eastern prophecy had before then assured mankind that a second attack of united Europeans would be decidedly fatal to Constantinople." Probably Mrs. Piozzi was confounding together William Harvey, 1569-1658, the great anatomist, and Gabriel Harvey, 1545-1630, the caustic Elizabethan wit; but what was the prophecy to which she refers, and where is it to be found? EDWARD SOLLY. ST. ISHMAEL.-I notice two churches dedicated to this saint in the diocese of St. Davids. Was he a British saint, or by whom was Ishmael canonized? W. F. R. JOHN BURNET, PROCURATOR-FISCAL OF GLASGow.-Can you procure me information about his pedigree? He was born March 4, 1799 or 1800, and married a daughter of James Boaz, accountant, Glasgow. JOHN BURNET, Jun. TIGER DUNLOP.-In or about 1820 an energetic character was known to old Indians in London by this name, and edited, I think, a literary journal. Can any correspondent name him and the title of his work, as well as the reason for his being so designated? J. O. "Thus painters write their names at Co.” Move by her two main nerves, iron and gold, INDIA-RUBBER SHOES.-I always supposed these useful articles a quite modern invention; but in Miss Roberts's Women of the Last Days of Old France, she states (p. 382) that about 1796 a French emigré in Russia obtained resources from All from Burke's Regicide Peace. "manufacturing india-rubber shoes." W. M. M. BOOK-PLATE.-Can any collector give me any information respecting a book-plate which represents a man blowing down an arquebuse, with "R. T. Pritchett" at the bottom of it? The engraving looks antique, but the paper is apparently modern. C. G. JARVIS. PROPHECIES ABOUT TURKEY.-1. Where shall I find some doggerel verses about the Cock and Bull and Bear, quoted at the time of the Crimean war, and predicting the fall of Turkey twenty years afterwards? 2. What is the prophecy about a certain gate at Constantinople through which the "red Giaours" are to enter? De Quincey alludes to it. 3. Is it true that the green flag of the prophet is lost? H. A. B.
