that there is a "Gospel Tree" near Leamington. I do not know of one so

_Martinet_ (Vol. ii., p. 118.).--There is no doubt the term _martinet_
is derived from the general officer _M. de Martinet_ indicated by MR. C.
FORBES, and who was, as Voltaire states, celebrated for having restored
and improved the discipline and tactics of the French army; whence very
strict officers came to be called _martinets_: but is it also from this
restorer of discipline that the name of what we call _cat-o'-nine-tails_
is in French _martinet_? This is rather an interesting Query,
considering how severely our neighbours censure our use of that
auxiliary to discipline.

_"Yote" or "Yeot"_ (Vol. ii., p. 89.).--You may inform B. that _Yote_ or
_Yeot_ is only provincial pronunciation of _Yate_ or _Gate_, a way or
road. The channel made to conduct melted metal into the receptacle
intended for it, is called a gate.

_Map of London_ (Vol. ii., p. 56.).--The map of London, temp. Edw. VI.,
in the Sutherland collection, has been recently engraved. It is of
singular curiosity. I do not know the name of the publisher.
