A list of Gray's other marginalia, so far as they have been published, will be found in my forthcoming Bibliography of Gray (Yale University Press). I conclude this paper with such notes as I have been able to gather respecting the whereabouts of Gray MSS. These notes make no pretence to completeness. Pembroke College possesses Gray's Commonplace Books, including a MS. of the Elegy (cf. Bradshaw's introduction, 1891, and Gosse's ed., i. 225-32). Eton has another MS. (the Fraser MS.) of the Elegy and the original MS. of the Eton Ode. A third copy of the Elegy' and many letters are in MS. Egerton 2400 of the British Museum. The following Add. MSS. at the Museum also contain Gray matter: 5821, 5833, 5842, 15000, 19918, 24503, 26889, 27637, 32329, 32561-2 (Mitford's valuable collection), 36270, 36359, 36817-8, 37683.

Mr. John Murray is said to have some MSS. relating to Gray; cf. Tovey, 'Letters,' iii. 232, n. 1. An early correspondence of Gray's which is said to throw light upon his difference with Walpole was owned in 1912 by the Messrs. Quaritch. Several letters were sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge on July 8, 1915. A number of letters lately published by Mr. Toynbee was owned by the late Capt. Sir Francis E. Waller, Bart., of the Royal Fusiliers. There are some MSS. in the Gluck Collection in the Public Library at Buffalo, New York. Ithaca, N.Y. CLARK S. NORTHUP. LETTERS FROM H.M.S. BACCHANTE IN 1812-1813. SOME interesting letters, written in journal 66 The ship sailed from Spithead on June 3, 1812, and arrived in the Bay of Biscay on the 5th, and, passing Cape St. Vincent on the 11th, arrived off Cadiz on the following day : "About sunset we heard a very heavy and incessant [? firing] directly ahead of us. At first it was supposed that the French Fleet had escaped from Toulon, and that it was a general action. You may guess how heartily we prayed for a fresher breeze to spring up, but in a short time we perceived some shells burst in the air, which convinced us that it proceeded from the French bombarding Cadiz, though we were at that time forty miles distant. We had the satisfaction of learning to-day that no other damage had been done than the killing an old woman; but many of the shells did not burst, owing to the great quantity of lead with which It takes, they are lined, to make them fly so far. as I am told, 30 lbs. of powder to throw a shell from the French lines into the town.. "Off Cadiz, June 15, 1812. We quitted Cadiz at daybreak, and expect to reach Gibraltar this evening or to-morrow morning....Cape Trafalgar at the moment I am writing is immediately opposite to the cabin window, and a picture of Lord Nelson is so hung that the hero appears to What a be gazing at the well-known spot. different scene does it now present to him!.... "Port Mahon, July 2, 1812. Admiral Hallowell (one of Lord Nelson's friends, and who, you remember, gave him the coffin made of l'Orient's mast) is here with a few line-of-battle ships, and a large fleet of transports, with a brigade of troops on board." To understand the frequent allusions in these letters to the hero of Trafalgar, it should be explained that their writer, who was probably born at Swaffham, Norfolk, in 1785, was son of the Rev. Wm. Yonge, who died in 1845 as Archdeacon of Norwich and Rector of Swaffham for sixty years, and that in November, 1786, the latter's sister, Sarah Yonge, had married the Rev. William Nelson (b. 1757, d. 1835), Rector of Hilborough, the elder brother of the great admiral. Hilborough was the Nelson family living during several generations, and there Sarah Yonge's only son, Horatio Nelson, was born in 1788, two years after the birth of his first cousin, the aforesaid William Johnson Yonge. After the death of the great admiral on Oct. 21, 1805, a grateful nation bestowed upon the rector of Hilborough an earl's title, and, creating his son Horatio Viscount Trafalgar, granted a sum of money with which to purchase an estate (in Wiltshire, whither the family removed from Norfolk). Among the obituary notices of The Gentleman's Magazine for the year 1808 is one on the "death of Viscount Trafalgar from typhus fever, at the early age of nineteen. He died at Warne's Hotel in Conduit Street on the 17th of January, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral under the centre of the dome; that in death his body might sleep with the remains of him whom in life he had so honoured and revered.... Norwich, his maternal uncle, acted as chief "The Rev. William Yonge, Archdeacon of mourner, and followed in the first coach... Capt. William Hoste was also of Norfolk descent, having a family connexion with the Walpole family. His father, the Rev. Dixon Hoste (b. 1750-51), was for forty-two years Rector of Titeshall in that county, where he died at the age of 75 in 1825. Mr. and There are many references to Mrs. Hoste" in the letters from Lady Nelson to her husband the great admiral when he afloat. Their son William Hoste, was according to his biographers, entered the Navy immediately after the outbreak of the French war under the auspices of Nelson, who described him as "a good boy, and one that would shine in the service "Hoste was at the battle of the Nile in 1798, and in January, 1802, was promoted Post by Lord St. Vincent. From 1808 to 1814 he commanded a detached squadron in the Adriatic, stopping the coasting trade, and engaging in a series of adventurous attacks on the coast batteries, or on vessels sheltered under them; the stories of which read more like a romance than sober history." He captured the town of Grao in 1808-9, and in 1811 defeated at Lissa a force much larger than his own. Continuing his journal, on July 8, 1812, Mr. Johnson Yonge says: "The day after sailing from Port Mahon we fell in with Sir Edward Pellew and his fleet.... There were 13 sail of the line....The admiral received Hoste in the most flattering manner and offered him a cruise in the Adriatic, which he said he considered as his birthright.... "Lissa, June 20, 1813. You will be a little surprised at the date of my letter.... But immediately upon our arrival at Malta on the 19th of April, we learnt that orders had arrived from Sir Ed. Pellew for us to return again to this island....It is reported that Admiral Hallowell is coming to succeed Admiral Freemantle, and I make no doubt it has been his request that Hoste should be under him on this station. Admiral Hallowell has known Hoste all his life, and was particularly intimate with Lord Nelson." In describing an engagement which took place on June 10, the writer says: "You may cut sailors to pieces, but you cannot conquer their spirit....One of our midshipmen, Langton by name, commanded the first gig, which carried 10 men beside himself....!As the result] the commodore and the chief part of his officers, with about 50 men, were made prisoners. He told us that he had no notion that our boats would have persevered in their attack after discovering his force....but instead of observing any symptoms of fear, his ears were greeted with a loud and animated shout, which was continued throughout the little squadron.... "14th June. We arrived here safe and without losing a single prize....You cannot think what credit our boats have gained, and it is esteemed one of the most gallant boat actions in our naval annals." Lord Nelson, in his earlier correspondence, frequently mentioned Charles Boyles, the son of the collector of Customs at Lynn, and at the time of Hoste's action off Lissa Charles Boyles, then a rear-admiral, had his flag flying in the Canopus at Palermo, and wrote: "My dear Hoste,-Your gallant and distinguished bravery will ever immortalize your name, and make our county of dumplings and dripping rejoice to think they have still preserved for its protection a brilliant spark from the shrine of our immortal county man, Lord Nelson." Capt. Hoste was created a baronet in September, 1814, and in April, 1817, married Lady Harriet Walpole, a daughter of the second Earl of Orford (second creation). He was appointed to the command of his Majesty's yacht the Royal George, a post he held until his death in 1828, which took place at the early age of 48. The writer of the letters, the Rev. Johnson Yonge, married Elizabeth, second daughter of the Rev. Peter Wellington Furse of Halston House, Devon, and being appointed Rector of Rochbourne in Hampshire, there died in 1860, leaving a son and four daughters. A reference to the Yonge family appeared at 10 S. xi. 129. F. H. S. SIR JAMES GRAHAM: EARLY ELECTIONEERING EXPERIENCE. (See 7 S. xi. 304.)Just over a quarter of a century ago, I drew attention to the fact that at the Cornwall Lent Assizes, held at Launceston in March, 1820, a true bill was found by the Grand Jury against the distinguished Whig Parlia mentarian, known to a later generation as Sir James Graham, for alleged bribery and corruption at a St. Ives election; and I expressed a hope to be supplied with the result of the proceedings. That wish remains ungratified, but some additional light is thrown on the affair in the extracts from the diary of John Tregerthen Short given by Sir Edward Hain in his Prisoners of War in France from 1804 to 1814,' Short having been one such. These are as follow: "March 22, 1820. Several persons subponed, to go to Launceston to swear bribery against the two elected Members, Messrs. Graham and Evelyn. "March 27.-According to their evidence, the jury found indictments against the two elected Members. "The evidences returned from Launceston, having sworn against Graham and Evelyn. April 21.-Placards and caricatures posted against some of the false swearers. April 26.-This evening the account came that recognizances had been entered into to bring the newly elected Members to trial, by a most villainous and perjured crew, to get them turned from Parliament. 66 St. Ives, who had acted as solicitor for Graham May 28.-Mr. Halse [the town clerk of and Evelyn] went to London. "June 4.-A great number subponed to go to London, to appear before the Members of the House of Commons, against Graham and Evelyn. "June 22.-The evidences for Mr. Halse arrived from London, and before their departure the two members, Graham and Evelyn, were declared by a Committee of the House of Commons duly elected, and that gross and infamous perjury was pronounced against an Irishman, named George Patrick Dunn. August 11. The before-mentioned people arrived from Bodmin, and it's reported that a bill has been found against Mr. Halse. "March 23, 1821.-A great number of persons subpoenaed to Launceston against James Halse, Esq., on account of the last election, under pretence of trying him as an agent for Messrs. Graliam and Evelyn." "From The True Briton : Mr. Douglas moved in the House of Commons that the Clerk of the St. Ives Election should attend at the ensuing Cornwall Assizes with the poll-book, to answer an indictment against him for bribery ordered.' : "March 30.-Some of the evidences returned from Launceston. J. Halse, Esq., was declared by the jury to be innocent, although so many scandalous, lying, and infamous characters there appeared against him. "March 31.-Mr. Halse came into town, escorted by a great concourse of people. "May 18.-Lord Normanby canvassed the town, Mr. Graham having resigned his seat. "February 14, 1822. The news arrived that George Patrick Dunn, the Irish false swearer against Messrs. Graham and Evelyn and Halse, was sentenced on Monday last to seven years' transportation. May this be a warning to all voters. Many more, in my opinion, deserve to bear him company.' Even these extracts leave in doubt the precise reason why Graham resigned his seat in May, 1821, eleven months after he had been declared by a Select Committee of the House of Commons, on hearing the petition, to have been duly elected. They throw no light, moreover, on what happened to the true bills found at the Launceston Assizes of March, 1820, against him and his colleague (Evelyn), who did not think it necessary to withdraw from Parliament when he did. The entry of April 26, 1820, states that recognizances had been entered into to bring the newly elected members to trial." Did that refer to the trial of the petition before a Select Committee of the House of Commons (as was then the practice), or of 66 the members for the offences on which true bills had been found? There is a decided gap in the statement of facts here; and, as I wrote in my original note in 1891, as affecting one who afterwards was a distinguished statesman, these might be worth exhuming."

WAINEWRIGHT. “KADAVER. -In view of the allegations recently made as to the disposal of the bodies of dead soldiers by the German military authorities, and of the assertion that the word Kadaver refers to animal and not to human bodies, the following note may be of some interest. The word, otherwise spelt "cadaver," is said to be formed of the first syllables of the words caro data vermibus (flesh given to the worms): 'The burial of the cadaver (that is caro data vermibus) is nullius in bonis, and belongs to ecclesiastical cognizance" (3 Coke's Institutes,' 203, cited by Mr. Justice Holroyd in Rex v. Coleridge, 1819, 2 B. and Ald. 809). It would be interesting to know what other authorities there are for this origin of the word. J. H.
