AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (7th S. ix. a full record of the later bearers of the name would have 269). A little rule, a little sway, A sunbeam in a winter's day, Will be found in John Dyer's 'Grongar Hill,' first published in Lewis's Miscellany in 1727. Dyer, the son of a Welsh solicitor, was educated at Westminster School. Not caring for his father's profession, he studied painting under Mr. Richardson, and, as he himself said, "became an itinerant painter in South Wales." With painting he mingled poetry, 'Grongar Hill' being his happiest production. Johnson's opinion of him as a poet was that he required "bulk or dignity for an elaborate criticism." Like most painters, Dyer travelled in Italy, and returning home in 1740, delicate health and the love of study induced him to think of the Church, and he therefore entered into orders. About the same time he married a lady of the name of Ensor, "whose grandmother," he said, "was a Shakespeare, descended from a brother of everybody's Shakespeare." Dyer died in 1758, when he was in the enjoyment of the livings of Coningsby and Kirkby. HENRY GERALD HOPE. The lines quoted by Wesley are not quite correctly given in the note of M. P.

The Stuart Dynasty. By Percy M. Thornton. (Ridgway.) WHAT has been ironically held concerning a woman's letter is true of Mr. Thornton's book, that the weightiest matter is in the postscript. In this is given a series of letters or extracts from the Stuart papers in the possession of Her Majesty at Windsor. Some insight into these historical treasures has been afforded by Lord Stanhope. By far the greater portion, however, is now published for the first time. It casts a bright light upon Jacobite intrigues, the hopes and actions of the Chevalier, the tergivereation of Marlborough, the duplicity of Lovat, and the evil influence on the fortunes of the Stuarts exercised by the death of Louis XIV. Some interest attends a mere study of the names assigned in the correspondence to the various parties implicated in the Jacobite plots. Mr. Rose thus stands for France, Mr. Rance for Mary of Modena, Mr. Rancourt for the Chevalier, Orbec for the Duke of Ormond, Bellay for the Duke of Berwick, Sably for Lord Bolingbroke, Alençon for England, M. Malbranchi for the Duke of Marlborough, Mr. Hatton for Lord Oxford, and so forth. The entire correspondence, meanwhile, must be of highest value when the history of the closing days of Queen Anne and the advent of George I. comes to be rewritten. Unfortunately Mr. Thornton's work stops before that point is reached. He deals only with the Stuart dynasty, and his chronicle stops with James II. It is, of course, futile to ask a man who has written one book why he did not write another instead. A throne adds little dignity, however, to the royal race of Stuarts, always worthier and more picturesque in defeat than in prosperity; and proved more stimulating reading than is now supplied. A history of the crowned Stuarts must necessarily be to some extent an abridgment of familiar histories. Nothing new can be told us concerning James I. or James IV. of Scotland, Mary Stuart, or Charles I. Though to some himself a moderate man. His views, however, upon a extent a champion of the Stuarts, Mr. Thornton shows subject such as the wars of the Commonwealth are of secondary importance, and new information he does not pretend to supply. His book is not very satisfactory in arrangement, and is disfigured by errors, some of which a moderate amount of care would have prevented. A delightful feature in it consists of the portraits with which it is illustrated. These alone are bright and good enough to secure for the volume a large amount of popu larity. The True Story of the Catholic Hierarchy deposed by Queen Elizabeth. With fuller Memoirs of its last Survivors. By the Rev. T. E. Bridgett and the late Rev. T. F. Knox. (Burns & Oates.) THE greater part of The True Story of the Catholic Hierarchy deposed by Queen Elizabeth' is made up of the reprint of two biographical memoirs made public many years ago, viz., the life of Watson, Bishop of Lincoln, the last survivor of the old hierarchy who remained in England, and the life of Goldwell, Bishop of St. Asaph, the only bishop who escaped abroad without previous imprisonment, and who died at Rome April 3, 1585, about six months after Watson's death at Wisbeach. The former of these memoirs appeared as an introduction to some sermons of Bishop Watson, edited by Mr. Bridgett in 1876, and the latter was published in the Month by the late Dr. Knox. Both were valuable contributions to the biographical history of the time, containing many facts which were quite new, and correcting some constantly repeated errors. To these reprints Mr. Bridgett now prefixes a too brief account of the remaining thirteen of the Marian bishops deprived by Elizabeth in 1559. His object is to combat the "misrepresentation and ignorance" of historians in regard to the fate of the deprived bishops. Protestant historians have dwelt, rightly enough, on the significant fact that under Elizabeth "there were no retaliatory burnings," and that, moreover, in comparison with the hard measures dealt out to the seminarists and Jesuits at a later period, consequent upon the Papal and Spanish provocations, the prelates of the Marian hierarchy were treated with leniency and respect. But these same historians have, on the other hand, unduly minimized or entirely ignored the fact that all the deprived bishops who were alive in the summer of 1560-except Poole, of Peterborough, who was restricted to a certain district, and Goldwell, of St. Asaph, who had escaped abroad— were subjected to an imprisonment in the Tower or the Fleet for at least from three to four years. These historians have, furthermore, been proved guilty of exaggerating the comparative comfort or convenience of a subsequent confinement, in the case of most of these prelates, under the roof of an Anglican bishop. The imprisonment is undeniable. Even Archbishop Heath was confined in the Tower for more than three years before he was permitted to retire to his own house at Chobham, near Windsor, where he remained undisturbed till his death in 1579. But Mr. Bridgett has hardly made good his contention that the prison treatment was rigorous or harsh. He emphasizes his supposition that the prisoners were deprived of books and means of study. But how comes it that Nicolas Harpsfield, who was not likely to be treated with more leniency than the bishops, was able to write a bulky controversial work, and hold, as that work proves, considerable communication with friends in the outer world? Mr. Bridgett has done a useful piece of work-which would have been more useful, by the way, if it had an index-and he has gathered together information which cannot be ignored by future historians of the period. But his tone is not commendable, nor is he entirely free from the one-sidedness which he so severely condemns in others. He writes as if abusive language, "paroxysms of ribald fury," and suppression of the truth were peculiar to the reformers. There were no stories on the Protestant side more "apocryphal" than the Nag's Head fiction or Sanders's tale of Anne Boleyn being Henry's own daughter. If it was rude of Pilkington to call the Papal bishops "bite sheep," it was foolish of the Douai seminarists to retort with the same bad pun as a tu quoque upon Aylmer or Bancroft. Mr. Bridgett complains of Southey for saying that Bonner was so hated that he did not dare to show himself in the streets. In a note he confesses that Sanders tells the same tale; but, adds Mr. Bridgett, with amusing naïveté, "he tells it to his honour." lished in 1844-7, and reissued within recent years with notes, are regarded as standard works. His library was sold after the change in his religious opinions. Many of his books and his interesting collection of ivories are in the British Museum. Mr. Maskell's later contributions to literature were numerous and varied, although mostly of a lighter character. In 1872 he published a little volume entitled 'Odds and Ends,' chiefly relating to Bude Haven. Mr. Maskell was an authority on medieval art, and edited the series of "South Kensington Art Handbooks," the volume on Ivories' proceeding entirely from his pen. He wrote a History of the Martin Marprelate Controversy,' in which he accentuates his conviction that the Reformation brought many evils in its train, and he complains of the "unlimited toleration" of modern times. Mr. Maskell, although a somewhat hard bitter in controversy, bore the character of a genial and kindly man in private life, and was much esteemed as a parish clergyman. · THE death of Miss Mary Louisa Boyle, a correspondent in former years of N. & Q.,' a lady well known in the World of literature and art, occurred on April 7, in her eightieth year. She was the friend of Dickens and Landor, and is said to have had more presentation copies of works by eminent writers than any one in England. One of her poems, 'My Father's at the Helm,' in the refers to her in her early days in his recently published 'Tribute,' was very popular in its day. The Laureate thus volume Demeter, and other Poems ': When this bare dome had not begun to gleam And you were then a lover's fairy dream, In re-editing Dr. Knox's memoir of Goldwell Mr. Bridgett corrects certain unimportant inaccuracies of the author. But why does he leave Dr. Knox's eulogies of Goldwell's zeal and heroism in setting forth from Rome to join the missionaries in England in 1580 unmodified by the facts since brought to light by Dr. Knox himself in the Letters and Memorials of Cardinal Allen'? In the memoir it was suggested that, on account of Goldwell's age, and an attack of illness, as well as the preparations made in England to seize him, "prudence obliged him to make the sacrifice of his cherished desires," and to return to Rome. We now know, from the correspondence of the French nuncio and the Car- THE death of a good and useful man, an old condinal of Como that Goldwell's pretences were "frivolous," tributor, and one who was always a firm supporter of and that fear alone was the cause of his abandoning the N. & Q.,' Henry Campkin, F.S.A., ought not to be unenterprise upon which the Pope had sent him.

DEATH has recently removed an occasional correspon dent and an early friend of N. & Q,' Mr. William Maskell, F.S.A. The son of a solicitor at Shepton Mallet, he was born in 1814, and educated at University College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1836. Ordained priest in the Church of England in 1837, he became chaplain to Bishop Phillpotts, of Exeter, and vicar of St. Marychurch. In 1850, in consequence, it is believed, of the decision of the courts in the Gorham controversy, he left the English Church for the Church of Rome, although he married, and remained a layman. This he explains in a Letter on the Infallibility of the Pope,' addressed to the editor of the Dublin Review, and published in 1871. For many years he lived a somewhat secluded life at Bude, and was J.P. for the county of Cornwall. While yet a member of the English Church Mr. Maskell collected an extensive library of theological and liturgical works, many of them unique.
