VII.

"Pouring tears from eyelids sluicy,
While the waning flamelet fades,
All for Lucy--lovely Lucy,
Loveliest of lady's maids.

"C.H. WILLIAMS."

[The foregoing ballad does not appear in the edition of the works of
Sir C. Hanbury Williams (3 vols. 8vo. 1822), from the preface to which
it appears that he was born in 1709, installed a Knight of the Bath in
1746, and died on the 2nd November, 1759.]

MINOR QUERIES.

_Book called Tartuare.--William Wallace in London._--1. Is there any one of
your correspondents, learned or unlearned, who can oblige me with any
account of a printed book called _Tartuare?_ Its date would be early in the
sixteenth century, if not before this.

2. After William Wallace had been surprised and taken, he was brought to
London, and lodged, it is said, in a part of what is now known as Fenchurch
Street. There is a reader and correspondent of yours, who, I am assured,
can point out the site of this house, or whatever it was. Will he kindly
assist archæological inquirers, by informing us whereabouts it stood?
