In other words, the events related mostly (See 11 S. xi. 103, 183, 315; xii. 24, 276, took place, but seldom in the sequence indicated." There is no reason to date this revival of 'Hamlet '-in which Crosby played the King; Smith, Horatio; and Williams, the Second Gravedigger-a whit earlier than the winter of 1675. In this case it is more than improbable that Joseph Williams could have played so minor a part, which, accordingly, may be certainly assigned to his namesake. The Lee who acted Marcellus was doubt John Lee, the husband of Mrs. Mary Lee (Lady Slingsby). He disappears from the bills after 1677, and was dead in 1680.

In 1679 we find David Williams Achilles in Dryden's Troilus and Cressida '; Joseph Williams is Æneas. In the autumn of the same year David acts Quintus Pompeius in Otway's Caius Marius'; Joseph is Sylla. In the spring of 1680 David Williams plays Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, in Crowne's The Misery of Civil War.' In the autumn of 1681 he is given the same rôle, Richard Plantagenet, heir of the House of York, pretender to the crown, in 'Henry VI.,' Part I.

THE late Mr. Thomas Henry Baker of Salisbury, in 1902-3, carefully transcribed (verb. et lit.) all the memorial and monumental inscriptions remaining at that time in the Cathedral Church of Salisbury-600 in number. The MSS. consist of two tall folio volumes, of 126 and 57 closely written pages respectively. To these he added in trick (each in its proper place) all the arms emblazoned upon the monuments, &c., whether in the glass of the windows or upon the marble, stone, or metal of the monuments. Vol. i. has as addenda some fifty additional inscriptions "rescued from Time's unceasing onslaught," and which had disappeared at the time of his survey in the above years. As these MSS. are not likely to be printed or even made accessible to students in a library, and, moreover, may find a home across the sea, I have copied for the benefit of subscribers to N. & Q.' an index to the inscriptions, distinguishing those showing arms by an asterisk before each name : INDEX.

The present can scarcely be the time when it is desirable to anglicize any German word, in particular one used so freely by a hostile nation, and which might, in truth, be well retained for Teutonic consideration only. Many people also appear strangely ignorant of its meaning such is, at any rate, my experience. Let us hope the objectionable intruder may -soon pass from our conversation, and employment by our newspaper press. CECIL CLARKE. Junior Athenæum Club. ST. LUKE'S, OLD STREET: BIBLIOGRAPHY. -This is one of the many minor parishes in London still wanting an historian or topographer. Its interest is sufficient for a small volume, although as a separate parish its record only commences with the Act of Geo. II., c. 21, which made the outgrowth of Cripplegate all the parish of St. Giles's outside the City wall-into a detached parish, under the name of St. Luke's, Old Street. The only printed history is a scarce and singular work, The Historie of Eald Street, now called Old Street, with Memoranda of the Parish of St. Luke and of the Chartreuse.' This is a small 4to, printed and issued by Messrs. Adams & King at 30 Goswell Street in a series of "typographic leaves" or single pages, showing different sizes of type, styles of borders, colours of inks, &c. The complete work consists of half - title; title; dedication; preface, 2 pp.; 12 pp. of matter, and colophon one page. There are neither signatures, pagination, nor indication of date, but a considerable period elapsed between its commencement and finish, as changes in the title of the firm and its address occur in the imprint on each leaf. The text, probably written by the publishers for each leaf as required, is carefully gathered from familiar sources. I cannot trace any work on the church; and the other important public building, the Lunatic Asylum, has only occasioned pamphlets on its administration, commencing in 1754, with frequently reissued Reasons for the Establishing and further Encouragement of St. Luke's Hospital,' &c., 1766, &c. The Debtors' Prison in Whitecross Street, demolished nearly fifty years ago, has been described by Renton Nicholson and similar writers, but I have failed to trace any volumes or pamphlets on its history. The association of the Ironmongers with the parish in the administration of the Mitchell Estate, &c., is fully dealt with in John Nicholl's Account' and T. C. Noble's Brief History of that Worshipful Company.' A quantity of memoranda by Nicholl, together with a MS. work by Noble, "A Short Account of St. Luke the Evangelist and St. Luke's Day: a chapter to be added to the Brief History of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, London," are before me. Select Vestry scandals and corrupt management of the parish schools provided a number of pamphlets, broadsides, and handbills in 1755 and 1760, the most important item |
