state. There are entries of one branch of the Waresley Baronet family of Hewett in the St. Neot's Registers, but I can perceive no sign of their having been tampered with. May I ask CEDO ILLUD to refer me to his authority for the statement that "the registers at Waresley and St. Neot's had evidently been tampered with, and finally attempted to be destroyed?" And in what year did William Hewett set up his claim? JOSEPH RIX.

THREE MULLETS. William Daniel, Baron of Rathwyre (2nd S. v. 31.97.) In Burke's Extinct Peerages of Great Britain and Ireland, the only notice of this title is as follows: "The Barony of Rathurer was conferred, in 1475, on a family of Daniel; but of its descent, or extinction, we have not been able to ascertain any particulars." The Thomas Daniel, Knt., mentioned by MR. D'ALTON as having been Lord and Baron of Rathwyre, and forfeited 10 Hen. VII., 1494-5, appears to be the person on whom the peerage was conferred in 1475 by K. Edward IV.; but what does S. W. allude to, when he says that this individual was 66 mentioned in the Norfolk peerage?" A. S. A.

In Morsels for Merry and Melancholy Mortals, Ipswich, 1815, at p. 102., I find the following version and commentary thereupon : Airish or Arish (2nd S. vi. 328.) — A similar term, which from the pronunciation I should have written ersh or airsh, was used for stubbles in Sussex when I knew them forty years ago. I. P. O. Charles Caraccioli (2nd S. vi. 337.) was master of the Grammar School at Arundel. In 1766, he published the Antiquities of that town; and in his Preface he says: "As he was educated, and till within these few years has lived abroad, totally unconversant in the English tongue, he flatters himself that the inaccuracies so frequently interspersed through the whole will be observed with some grains of allowance." Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. W. D. C. Messrs. Longman have just published a work which will be read with satisfaction by such of our readers as were interested in the valuable communications which have from time to time appeared in these columns on the subject of the Knights of Malta. It is entitled 4 History of the Knights of Malta, or the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, by Major Whitworth Porter, Royal Engineers. When we consider how important a part the members of this Order have played in the world's history, and that there is really no satisfactory book to which the English reader can turn for information on the organisation and social history of the Knights, we cannot doubt that this endeavour on the part of Major Porter to supply, in a popular form, a history of the Order from its first establishment in Palestine at the close of the eleventh century to the present time, will meet with great success. The book is well calculated to furnish the general reader with all he desires to know with respect to the Knights Hospitallers. Major Porter does not quote his authorities - perhaps as the work is clearly intended for popular reading, this was scarcely called for. It has, however, led to an oversight, which Major Porter will, we are sure, remedy in a future edition, we mean, an acknowledgment of his obligations to the masterly Introduction prefixed by the late John M. Kemble to The Hospitallers in England, published by The Camden Society - the last paper, we believe, written by that accomplished scholar. Mrs. Kemp's Conversations on England as it Was and Is, is a well-written volume, in which the Geography of England is made the medium of illustrating its History. The idea is a very excellent one; for there can be little doubt that, by the powerful aid of association, historical facts are more deeply impressed on the memory when narrated with special reference to the particular places in which they were enacted. The work is "designed for schools and home tuition," and is well adapted for both purposes. Messrs. Routledge, who have become the publishers in this country of Prescott's Works, have just issued the Third Volume of his History of Philip the Second, King of Spain. A large proportion of the present volume is occupied with the narrative of the rebellion of the Moriscoes, and their consequent expulsion from Spain, the remainder being occupied with the war with the Turks; and the commencement of the Sixth Book, which is devoted to domestic affairs. In this latter we have a most interesting notice of the Escurial. The volume is illustrated with portraits of Don John of Austria, and of Ann of Austria, Philip's fourth wife.

St. George's Square, member the fate of Denon, who, after his return from Mr. Basil Pickering, the son of our old friend William Pickering, has just published two poetical volumes calculated to please those who delight in song. The first is Julian the Apostate, and The Duke of Mercia. Historical Dramas by the late Sir Aubrey de Vere, which, having long been out of print, are here reprinted. A Song of Charity, by E. J. Chapman, is the title of the second,—a graceful little poem written during a visit to Canada, and appropriately dedicated to the writer's friends in that country. First and foremost among the books for young persons which are waiting for our notice we must mention The Fairy Tales of Science by J. G. Brough, with Sixteen Illustrations, by C. H. Bennett. The idea of clothing the leading and most important branches of Science in the garb of Fairy Tales is a very admirable, albeit a somewhat difficult one; and certainly if anything could add to its attractiveness, the illustrations of Mr. Bennett, rich in fancy as ever, are well calculated for that purpose. The Boy's Own Toymaker; a Practical Illustrated Guide to the useful Employment of Leisure Hours, by E. Landells, with its numerous engravings, is well calculated to contribute to the quiet of many a household by finding amusement for its more noisy members. For yet younger children we have to notice a pleasant little volume, A Visit to the New Forest, by Harriet Myrtle. PHOTOGRAPHY. T.
