THE ALTAR CLOTHS OF OLD ST. PAUL'S (4th S. ix. 317, 416, 475.) - Whether old prosy Ponz wrote nonsense or sense in using the words I quoted, viz.-"Son de exquisita tela, y están bordados en ella asuntos de Jesu-Christo, y nuestra Señora con bastante arte," &c., it surely is taking a great liberty with the author to make him say (as MR. RALPH N. JAMES does) "they are of exquisite texture, and embroidered with the Ascension of Jesus Christ and the Assumption of our Lady," our author not alluding to either of such subjects. W. D. OLIVER. Temple. Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. The Visitation of the County Palatine of Lancaster made in the Year 1664-5. By Sir William Dugdale, Knight. Edited by the Rev. F. R. Raines, M.A., F.S.A., Vicar of Milnrow, Hon. Canon of Manchester, and Rural Dean. Parts I. and II. (Printed for the Chetham Society.) The Rev. Canon Rames, to whom the Chetham Society is indebted for the admirable collection of Stanley Papers noticed by us some time since, and indeed for many of its most valuable publications; and who has recently edited for the Society the Visitation of Lancaster by Flowers, Norroy, in 1567, and that by St. George, Norroy, in 1613, has established a fresh claim to the gratitude of the Society by the work before us. The Visitation of Lancaster, by Dugdale, in 1664-5, was the last Heraldic Visitation held for the County Palatine of Lancaster. The book will be very acceptable to genealogists generally, but more especially to those interested in the family history of the county; and the general reader would be amused with Canon Raines' introduction, in which he describes Dugdale's journey through the district, and his reception by and treatment of the several families, which varied so much according to their Royalist or Puritan tendencies. Ancient Classics for English Readers: Juvenal. By Edward Walford, M.A., late Scholar of Balliol Coll., Oxford; Author of "The Handbook of the Greek Drama," &c. (Blackwood.) We shall be surprised if this is not generally regarded as one of the most successful of this useful Series of "Classics for English Readers." Mr. Walford's Juvenal is one which will be read with pleasure by all admirers and students of the great Poet and Satirist. OLD LONDON AND WESTMINSTER.-A suggestion has been made that archæological investigations, like charity, should begin at home; and that at least as much attention as that which is now being paid to Old Jerusalem should be devoted to Old London; and that the Ordnance Survey should be so utilised as to mark the more important sites and gradual enlargement of our great Metropolis. The plan, if carried out, would be very acceptable to present and future London Topographers, to say nothing of Macaulay's New Zealander. THE ZOOLOGICAL STATION AND AQUARIUM AT NAPLES.-We are glad to hear that Dr. Dohrn is most effectively assisted in the technical parts of the construction of this building by Mr. W. A. Lloyd, of the Crystal Palace Aquarium, Sydenham. This gentleman, having been in friendly relations to Dr. Dohrn some years ago when in Hamburg, has obtained from the Board of the Crystal Palace Aquarium permission to render all possible help to the Naples Station, as to an institution of a Whoever knows the techpurely scientific character. nical difficulties of such a construction will be exceed ingly glad that so experienced a man as Mr. Lloyd lends his assistance in so disinterested a way to an establishment which we trust cannot fail to exert a powerful influence on the progress of scientific Biology.

Beneath this inscription, the words "Piis manibus bene precare." Under them, a rough sketch of a shield; Howard and Blount. Under all, a Maltese cross. The other epitaph is "To the Memory of William Blount, Esq, 3a Son of Sir Geo. Blount of Sodington, who died in 1671, aged 21," &c. &c. 1. There is nothing to show where these epitaphs are to be found; but I am informed that neither of them are in the Blount Chantry at Mamble (Worcestershire), in which parish Sodington is situated. I am very anxious to learn whether these epitaphs are still in existence, and if they are, where. 2. I may as well mention that the Sir Robert Howard spoken of above is not the auditor of the exchequer, and the dramatist, &c. of Charles II.'s day; he was the sixth son of Thomas Howard, first Earl of Berkshire. The Sir Robert Howard of the epitaph was the fifth son of the first Earl of Suffolk. In the privately-printed Memorials of the Howard Family, by the late Henry Howard of Corby (p. 54) there is no intimation that Sir Robert Howard was ever married. It was clearly unknown to him. In Sir Egerton Brydges' edition of Collins (iii. 154), both wife and family are equally ignored. Can any of your readers inform me who was the wife of this Sir Robert Howard, and whether he had any issue by her, besides the Henry of the epitaph? 3. Sir Robert Howard, the dramatist, had wives as plenty as blackberries"; but only one is certainly known, Lady Honora O'Brien, widow, when he married her, of Sir Francis Inglefield. Probably she was his second wife. His first is supposed to have been an actress (the Lady Vane, as he was the Sir Positive Atall of Shadwell's play), but I cannot ascertain her name. There is reason to believe that he was connected with her before marriage. Of his third wife nothing as yet has been discovered by me. His fourth was Annabella (Dives ?), the subsequent wife of the Rev. Edmund Martin. The city where this celebrated well is found is in the Iapygian peninsula, being remarkable as the scene of the death of Archidamus, king of Sparta, son of Agesilaus, who had been invited by the Tarentines to assist them against their neighbours, the Messapians and Salentines. The battle took place on the 3rd of August, B.C. 338, on the same day with the more celebrated battle of Chæronea. (Plut. Ages., iii.; Diod. xvi. 63, 88.) The well to which I have referred is a curious natural phenomenon, and remains precisely as it was described by Pliny, who died A.D. 79. (Plin. N. H. ii. 106, 4): "In Salentino juxta oppidum Manduriam lacus ad margines plenus, neque exhaustis aquis minuitur neque infusis augetur." I found it situated in a large circular cavern, which is approached by a descent of thirty rough ARMS ASSUMED BY ADVERTISEMENT.-The following advertisement appears in the outer sheet of The Times of Saturday, July 13, 1872. After so complete a publication, there is, I presume, nothing improper in giving to the advertisement a further circulation in "N. & Q." :— "In re the Will of MRS. MARGARET THOMAS, late of Coedhelen, in the county of Carnarvon, and of Trevor Hall, in the county of Denbigh, widow, deceased.-Change of Name.-Iremonger Lloyd.-Notice is hereby given, that in accordance with directions contained in the above will, dated 16th November, 1825, and duly proved, we, the undersigned, Reverend Frederick Assheton Lloyd, Clerk, M.A., of Llangynog, in the county of Montgomery, and Vicar of Bullington with Tufton, in the county of Hants; and Pennant Athelwold Lloyd, of Pentrehobin, in the county of Flint, and of Lime Grove, in the county of Carnarvon, Esquire, have, within the period appointed for that purpose by the said Will, respectively ASSUMED, and that we shall henceforth respectively continue to surname of Iremonger; and that, in accordance with such directions, I, the said Frederick Assheton Lloyd, do now quarter, and shall henceforth continue to quarter, the arms of the Lloyds of Llanhafon with my paternal coat; and I, the said Pennant Athelwold Lloyd, do now quarter, and shall henceforth continue to quarter the arms of Lloyd, of Pentrehobin, with my paternal coat. And notice is hereby given, that the above-mentioned changes in surnames and arms are recorded and evidenced by deed, under our respective hands and seals, dated the 10th day of July, 1872, and enrolled in Her Majesty's High Court of Chancery. And we desire that we may henceforth be respectively addressed and mentioned by the surname of Lloyd only, instead of by our former surname of Iremonger.-Dated this 11th day of July, 1872. steps. Light is admitted partly from the entrance and partly from an aperture in the rock which is immediately above the well. The rocky stratum in which the well is found is a concretion of seasand and marine shells, the porous nature of the soil allowing the water to percolate freely. The water is not now drawn by the inhabitants from the ancient well, but from a small reservoir, which is kept always full by the constant oozing from the sides of the cavern, the water being collected into an earthen pipe, and thus conveyed into the reservoir. It flows thence into the well, which is said, exactly as Pliny describes it, never to show any change of level. The well gets gradually filled up with small stones, and when I saw it, was not above a couple of feet deep. It had, however, been once cleaned in the memory of the present generation, and was found to be of no great depth, with a bottom of very hard composi-use the SURNAME of LLOYD only, instead of our former tion. There must of course be some peculiar way in which the water passes off, and how it is supplied is equally a mystery. It must ooze through the joints of the sides of the well, and it is curious that it should at all times, whatever be the quantity of rain that falls, only receive as much as it can throw off. There is a great want of water in this peninsula, and such a well is a blessing which we can scarcely appreciate in our northern climate. The water was pure, pleasant to the taste, in no respect mineral, though not particularly cool, as if it had come from some internal reservoir exposed to the heat of the external air. It is interesting to find that this well still continues much in the same state as it was in the time of Pliny. It is situated at a spot called Scegno, about half a mile from the modern town, which does not occupy the site of the ancient city. In former times it must have been of considerable strength. The walls, which can be traced nearly in their whole circuit, were composed of large rectangular stones, in regular courses above each other, without mortar, and what I never observed in any of the ancient cities of Italy, it had a double wall with a fosse on the outside, while there was a wide passage between these walls. As far as I could judge, the outer wall, with ditch, had a breadth of twenty-three feet, and the inner passage, with the inner wall, of about fifty feet. The stones of which they were built are soft and have been decomposed, so that the highest part that now remains is not above seven feet. At a short distance from the city is the chapel of S. Pietro Mandurino, and beneath it a small chapel, the walls of which are covered with paintings of saints of the Greek church, but a good deal obliterated by time and damp. CRAUFURD TAIT RAMAGE. F. A. LLOYD. It cannot be repeated too often that all protests against persons changing their names by advertisement, or indeed in any way, are vain. The practice will be found at length, I have no doubt, inconvenient if not dangerous to society. But it is legal now. The taking arms by advertisement is quite another thing. I will not waste the space of "N. & Q." by going over what I have said about it long ago. I adduce this advertisement as the latest instance of a practice which has had few examples. One does not see, at least I do not see, what is to be the ultimate effect of such arrangements. D. P. Stuarts Lodge, Malvern Wells.
