Williams, J. Povey, J. Hotchkis, W. Stringfellow, W. Pott, C. Bancroft, R. Clarke, W. Gearing, and many others." "The Chuchwarden and Overseers of the Parish of St. Antholin's in London, Accounts from 1638 to 1700 inclusive. Folio, 3l. 3s. "An interesting record of the expenses of this parish for sixty-four years. It commences with the gifts of various sacks of coals, faggots, &c., to the poor, receipts for flesh licences, collections, interest money, the Lady Martaine's gifts, Sir W. Craven's gifts, the Merchant Tailors' Company's gifts, Mercers' ditto, the Company of Ironmongers _forty fagots_, the Company of Mercers a load of charcoal, the gift of the late King James seven loads of Newcastle coals,--_this royal bequest appears to have been annual gift for ever. Query, if now in payment?_ ANNUAL gifts of Lady Coventry for putting out two poor children born in this parish. Lady Martin's, and many others, are annual gifts, which ought to be forthcoming to the parish at this time." This last note contains some Queries which I should be glad to see answered. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. {173} _The Plant "Haemony"_ (Vol. ii. p. 88. and p. 141.).--The mystical meaning of "Haemony" is evolved by Coleridge in a passage which occurs in his _Statesman's Manual_, appendix B., and which cannot fail to interest the readers of _Comus_. |
