1824, and Dec. 5, 1825, are both general officers in the Danish army and are both living s. p. The former is a widower and the latter unmarried. The seventh and youngest son, Prince Nicholas, was born Dec. 22, 1828, and died unmarried August 18, 1849.

The fourth of these brothers, His Majesty the King of Denmark (who married in 1842 his cousin the Princess Louise of Hesse Cassel, who was niece of King Christian VIII.) has had three sons and three daughters, viz., (1) Frederick, Crown Prince, who married in 1869 the only daughter of the late King of Sweden and Norway, and has eight children, four sons and four daughters; (2) Prince William, who became King of the Hellenes Oct. 31, 1863, by the title of King George I.; (3) Prince Waldemar, who married in 1885 the eldest daughter of the Duc de Chartres, and has three sons; (1) Alexandra, Princess of Wales; (2) Dagmar (Maria Feoderovna), Empress of Russia; and (3) Thyra, Duchess of Cumberland.

Having thus given all the living descendants in the male line of Augustus Philip, fourth son of Duke Alexander (who died in 1627), we come to the fifth son of that prince, viz., Philip Louis, who died March 10, 1689, leaving three sons. The eldest of these only had issue, and his only son died s.p.m. in 1744. George Frederick, the sixth son of Duke Alexander, died s.p. in 1676, and his two younger sons, Adolf and William Anthony, both died infants in 1616.

ARIOSTO AND THE BRITISH NOBILITY.-Ariosto, in the tenth canto of the 'Orlando Furioso,' in his description of the British troops who were assembled near London to go to assist Charlemagne against the Moors, gives a long list of the English, Scottish, and Irish nobles, with their banners and heraldic bearings. My knowledge of the subject is not sufficient to enable me to judge if the poet's heraldry is correct; but according to a note in the little Paris edition, 8 vols., 1818, it seems to be so. What I am unable to understand is how or where Ariosto obtained the knowledge of dear old England's towns and counties which he shows in these stanzas and elsewhere. Ariosto died in 1533. Few Italians, I and, although the English even then, perhaps, imagine, had visited England before that time; travelled more than the Italians and the French, it was, I fancy, rather later than the reign of Henry VIII. that it was considered the proper thing for those who could afford it to "swim in a gondola." (Here I write under correction.) Ariosto mentions twenty-seven English, ten Scottish, and two Irish nobles; and it is impossible to convey to any one who has not seen the passage an idea of the bizarre look which the familiar home-names wear in their Italian dress. Like Ham Peggotty, they are "growed out of all knowledge." I have made out about half of them. Some are obvious, and a few others have unfolded themselves after a little puzzling over them. The following, however, are beyond me, and I should be glad if some of your readers who are Italian scholars would kindly assist me. With one or two exceptions, they are all dukes, or counts, or marquises; I need, therefore, give only the names of the counties, &c., from which they take their titles.

Varvecia (Warwick ?), Cancia (Kent ?), Esenia, Marchia, Ritmonda (Richmond?), Antona (Hants?), Vigorina (Worcester ?), Erbia, Osonia, il ricco prelato di Battonia" (the bishop of Bath?), Burgenio, Croisberia, Roscia, Duke of, the King of Scotland's son (Rothsay see 'The Fair Maid of Perth'), Ottonlei, Alcabrun,

Che non è duca, conte, nè marchese.

Trasfordia, Forbesse (a place-name apparently), Ma primo nel salvatico paese (i. e., Scotland), Childera (Kildare ?).

Father Thames, in his time, has had many outlandish visitors, "from silken Samarcand to cedared Lebanon," from "amid the northern ice" and "the sand of morning-land," but even in the days of mammoths and megatheria he surely never saw 66 a more fearful wild-fowl" than when

Presso a Londra giunto una mattina
Sopra 'I Tamigi il volator declina.

The "volatore" is Ruggiero on his hippogriff.
The following is the note which I have alluded
to above. I have translated it to the best of my
ability:-

66

:

It is not by chance, nor by the caprice of the poet, that the description of the standards and of the names of the English nobles has been made; on the contrary, besides the truth of the painted shields he alludes with very wonderful art to the nobles of that island who in their times were living. So, in the denomination of the provinces and cities of that kingdom he followed the manner of naming them which was in use in his time, softening the harshness in order to give to them the soft Italian termination, not in such a manner, however, as not to follow the ancient denominations when one, on account of too much barbarity and roughness, did not appear fit to take the Italian ending."

Earlier in the poem Ariosto_mentions "Beroicche" (canto iv. 53), by which I suppose he means Berwick; St. Andrew's ("la città di Santo Andrea," v. 76); and in canto vi. 45 he says:

Si come tien la Scozia e l' Inghilterra
Il monte e la riviera separata.

"ST. WOLFRAM'S [sic] CHURCH," GRANTHAM. (See 8th S. iii. 296, sub Bachelors' Door or Porch.')-If I wrote "Wolfram" in the note here referred to, it would be bliss to be allowed to confess that I blundered inexcusably; if the spelling came from an effort on the part of your printer to put me right, I must try to pardon him for his kindness: Wolfran is what I would and should have written, that being the form in which the name was used at Grantham until about a dozen years since, when a new curate, now vicar, got up the history of the saint, and taught his parishioners to say Wulfram, for the reason that Wolfran had been "corrupted by the French in both syllables." Now, if we were to find in the heart of England an old church dedicated in the name of St. Jean, I am quite sure it would be wiser to recognize that we had there an indication of some interesting piece of history that to try to get rid of the Frenchified sound of the thing by talking of St. John's. Seeing that nobody knows when Grantham Church was founded, or by whom, it seems to me that it is mere pedantry to interfere with the traditional

form of its name; for if the people forget Wolfran and take to Wulfram there will be some danger of effacing a very important clue to something which has yet to be discovered. ST. SWITHIN.

SIR FRANCIS LEGATT CHANTRey, Knt. (17811842), SCULPTOR.-It may be noted as an addition to the account of him appearing in 'Dict. Nat. Biog.,' vol. x. p. 44, that an entry in the parish register of Twickenham, co. Middlesex, records the marriage, on November 23, 1809, of Francis Chantrey, of St. George's, Hanover Square, with his cousin Miss Mary Ann Wale. DANIEL HIPWELL.

TIGLATH-PILESER. -The great value and welldeserved popularity of Dr. Cobham Brewer's Reader's Handbook' makes it desirable to point out an error in it, which the production of a new edition will doubtless soon enable the author to correct. In the last we are told that the name of the above Ninevite king signifies "the great tiger of Assyria." The names of ancient Oriental kings are usually connected with their worship, and Tiglath-Pileser really means "My trust is in the son of Asshur." It may be added that Pul was in all probability simply another name for the monarch who was the third that took the name Tiglath-Pileser. W. T. LYNN. Blackheath.

WITCHCRAFT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

"At the Yeovil Borough Petty Sessions on Tuesday Frederick Terrell, a 'bus driver, was bound over in his own recognisance of 10l. to keep the peace for six months The defendant had gone to the complainant, accused her for having threatened Harriett Carew on March 24th. of being an old witch,' and asked her to take a spell off his sister. He said he would beat her brains out and throw her over a wall if she would come out of her house. He also accused her of staying up all night and burning stuff with which to bewitch people. Since then people had called 'witch' after her in the streets," EVERARD HOME COLEMAN.
