The three stars are supposed to have reference to his three great churches of York, Hexham, and Ripon. J. T. F.

It does not seem to have had anything to do with Colly Weston in Northamptonshire and its stone roofing slates. That village takes its prefix from Nicolas de Segrave, one of its early lords. The expression is in common use in Shropshire, but can hardly have come from the fact that in 1270 John, son of Nicolas de Segrave, married Christiana, the heiress of Stottesden, a Shropshire manor which remained with the Segraves till 1353. London County Council: Indication of Houses of The Parts before us record tablets put up in 1914. They include the residence of an American, Benjamin Franklin; two ecclesiastics of very different calibre, Manning and Spurgeon; a novelist, Trollope; and a poet, Tennyson. Trollope, when he took a house in Montagu Square, hoped to live and die in it, and here he had great pleasure in arranging his books, which were dearer to him than his horses or his wine. His best novels were written before he settled here, but he continued his old precise habit of writing so much a day. Tennyson we connect chiefly with the Cock as a Londoner, though he did not, we believe, go there often. The place now memorated is 225 Hampstead Road, N.W., which was formerly 25 Mornington Place. Here Tennyson lodged, and here he nearly lost the com long, butcher-ledger-like book" which Coventry Patmore found for him, and without which the world might have been deprived ofIn Memoriam.' Last, but not least, we notice the record of Robert and James Adam'at 4 Adelphi Terrace. To Sir Henry Trueman Wood, so long the Secretary of the Royal Society of Arts, the identification of this house is due, and the tablet emphasizes a memory which is already preserved in the word Adelphi " itself. The architect brothers remade the neighbourhood. A brief outline of the story is given from The Adelphi and its Site,' the work of that accomplished antiquary whose loss all true lovers of London regret, H. B. Wheatley. An Outline of the History of Printing: to which is added the History of Printing in Colours. By R. A. Peddie. (Grafton & Co., 28. 6d.) MR. R. A. PEDDIE, the courteous librarian of the too little used St. Bride Typographical Library, has a scholar's (not a pedant's) knowledge of the history and craft of printing. This Outline is admirably concise, critical in its rejection of unwisely accumulated legend, and accurate wherever we have had occasion to test it. This short monograph is a record for the instructed, not for the amateur; it contains a sketch of the history of printing, and accounts of the developments of machines and processes for printing and engraving. BOOKSELLERS' CATALOGUES. : MESSRS SOTHERAN & Co. have provided booklovers with a pleasant surprise in their new Price Current, The History of Civilization: as shown in a Catalogue of Second-hand Books on Anthropology, Folk-Lore, Archæology, and Sociology,' principally from the library of the late Sir Laurence Gomme. The price is half-a-crown net, but purchasers will not grudge the money. The 216 pages contain 3,695 entries, classified in three main divisions: General Works, Early and Primitive Man, and The Rise of Civilization. The second division comprises seven sections, ranging from Paleolithic and Neolithic Man to Gipsy-Lore. The third division is in two parts Oriental, with five sections, devoted to Ancient Egypt and Africa, India, the Ancient West Asiatic Monarchies, the Moslem World, and the Far East; and Occidental, with eighteen sections, the first relating to Ancient Greece and Rome, and others dealing with Celtic Britain, Roman Britain, Anglo-Saxon England, and England after the Norman Conquest. Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are the subjects of other sections; and the Teutonic Races, the Latin Races, and the Slavonic Races are similarly treated. It will be seen that much care has been expended on the arrangement and classification of the volume, but these are not the distinguishing feature of the volume. That consists in the compiler's notes, which, besides furnishing critical accounts of the contents of many of the volumes (often from the Dictionary of National Biography and similarly authoritative sources), contain caustic comments on the things happening around us to-day or the tendencies of the times. Under 3875, The North-West Coast of America being Results of Recent Ethnological Researches,' is the note: "The fetishes may have given the German Emperor the idea of the great Hindenburg nail-fetish in Berlin." The Pleasant History of Reynard the Fox' (3488) is described as "the standard drawing-room table-book in the Palace at Sofia." Of the author of The Primeval Antiquities of Denmark (3540) it is said: "Worsaae was not only a great antiquary, but a Danish patriot, who well withstood Jakob Grimm's characteristic factfaking to justify the German robbery of the Southern duchies." Sinclair's Satan's Invisible World Discovered' (458) is thus annotated: "If it had not been for the more profitable excitements provided by the Industrial Revolution, Scotland would have got very dull without the Devil.'

Our few extracts show that there is plenty of stimulating reading in the book, for the annotator is a man of strong opinions and expresses them in vigorous language. an There are several From MR.

Dilke'- Notes. arms of Great Britain have always represented, more or less closely, the historical changes of the kingdom.' The last of these changes was on the advent of our late most gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, who, strongly German as she showed herself to be, removed from the royal arms the insignia of the House of Hanover, which her predecessors of that line had brought into the national arms; and from that time they have remained as they are now: 1 and 4, England; 2, Scotland; 3, Ireland. Presumably, at that time, when the fourth quarter went, so to speak, a-begging, neither India nor what we now call the "Colonies were considered of sufficient political importance to be represented; and the first quarter-that of Englandwas repeated, according to correct heraldic usage. As they became an ever-growing and more important part of the British Empire, Boutell realized that fact, and suggested the alteration as above stated. But he did not then, I take it, propose to THE ROYAL ARMS: A SUGGESTED include India, and, I venture to think, rightly; for India is not a homogeneous whole to be represented by one cognizance. Besides, would it be acceptable to the loyal and feudatory princes, who are allowed practical sovereignty in their particular districts, and who might regard any such emblem as a symbol of conquest in its fullest sense? With regard to the inclusion of the Colonies in a distinctive and separate quarter in our royal coat of arms, would it even be acceptable to them? Is not each member of them-Englishman, Scotsman, or Irishman-entitled to look upon the royal arms as they now stand as sufficiently possessed a cross of its own-St. George, representative of his own status in all that St. Andrew, and St. Patrick. Wales alone heraldry stands for ? I am sure, if I were would seem to have no such Order, or cross, a real colonist-instead of having spent of her patron saint, St. David. many years of my life as a legal official in the Colonial service-I would decline to ask for any such badge of modern kinship as that suggested by Mr. Boutell or Mr. Begg. Our national insignia-whether English, Scottish, or Irish-are of ancient and historical significance; and any alteration on the lines indicated seems to me too much like advertisement for the Heralds' College. an Further, the suggestion of a 'doubleheaded lion passant guardant" (any doubleheaded charge, whether of lions or eagles, inclines too pointedly towards Continental regal armory) seems somewhat incongruous for India; whilst the lion in that formemblematic solely of England-may not be acceptable to those very numerous colonists who are of Scottish, Irish, or even of Welsh descent. If any change is to be made in our national arms, why should not "gallant little Wales -who, I think, has now earned her right to it--be taken into full partnership, if the fact of her being only a Principality does not disqualify her for such an advance ment? Some time ago I advocated (9 S. viii. 380) the establishment of a regiment of Welsh Guards to mark the occasion of his late Majesty Edward VII. having exchanged the Principality of Wales for the sovereignty of these realms. That, I am happy to say, has recently become an accomplished fact, and I surmise that the present Welsh Prime Minister was not altogether unassociated with the change. Perhaps Mr. Lloyd George may still find time after the War-to give his attention to this more important, but no less deserved, honour for his country men. Our national races would all then be equally represented in the royal arms. From these four races practically all our colonists (I do not, of course, include British subjects merely) are descended, and would be entitled by ties of blood-as heraldry teaches to share in one common armorial representation of ancestry, each component part being of considerable antiquity. It might be difficult to make any corresponding change in our national flag, or Union Jack," the changes there having been prompted largely by political considerations, and rendered the more easy by the fact that each of the three countries But Difficulty enough has been experienced in evolving and still more in correctly deciphering the Union Jack"; few persons can, off-hand, give an accurate drawing of it. It is not quite so easy a task as adding a fresh star for each new State as it becomes a member of the American Union. then ancient heraldry is not so flexible as modern heraldry! So let the "Union Jack remain as it is, shared in, and owned by, every member of the British Empire. Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis." But, at any rate, let us see to it that those changes are not unnecessary ones. J. S. UDAL, F.S.A. 66 BARNARD FLOWER, THE following notes may be of use to students of glass-painting. Some of the facts which they disclose have not yet found their way into books dealing with that branch of craftsmanship, but are important facts which ought to be more widely known. Barnard Flower is the glazier whose name is associated with what remains of the original glazing in Henry VII.'s Chapel at Westminster, and with some of the lights in King's College Chapel at Cambridge. Conjecture, in the absence of documentary evidence, has sometimes assigned to him also portions of the church glass at Fairford in Gloucestershire, after scrapping the traditional story that this famous glass was cargo of a foreign ship captured in war. Some writers have seen in the Fairford glass the glory of our native art, others only features which betrayed to them its alien origin, and one meets with many shades of opinion between these extremes. Flower was by birth an Englishman; but 1. It has generally been assumed that he was in fact a foreigner who settled in this country. In the letters of denization which he received from Henry VIII. on May 6, 1514 (Letters and Papers temp. H. VIII.,' vol. i.,1862, p. 798), he is described as a native of Almaine. By these letterspatent the king granted 66 dilecto servienti nostro Barnardo Flowre in Almania oriundo, quod ipse et heredes sui de corpore suo legitime procreati, in hoc regno nostro Anglie nati, exnunc et imperpetuum sint indigene |
