P.S. It commences at the 19th chapter of St. Matthew, and seems perfect to
the 21st chapter of Revelation.

Minor Queries.

_Ravilliac_.--I have read that a pyramid was erected at Paris upon the
murder of Henry IV. by Ravilliac, and that the inscription represented the
Jesuits as men--

"Maleficae superstitonis, quorum instinctu peculiaris adolescens
(Ravilliac) dirum facinus instituerat."--_Thesaur. Hist._, tom. iv.
lib. 95, ad ann. 1598.

We are also informed that he confessed that it was the book of Mariana the
Jesuit, and the traitorous positions maintained in it, which induced him to
murder the king, for which cause the book (condemned by the parliament and
the Sorbonne) was publicly burnt in Paris. Is the pyramid still remaining?
If not, when was it taken down or destroyed, and by whom or by whose
authority?

CLERICUS (D).

_Emblem on a Chimney-piece_.--In the committee room of the Church
Missionary Society, Nos. 16. and 17. Upper Sackville Street, Dublin, a
curious emblem-picture is carved on the centre of the white marble
chimney-piece. An angel or winged youth is sleeping in a recumbent posture;
one arm embraces a sleeping lion, in the other hand he holds a number of
bell flowers. In the opposite angle the sun shines brightly; a lizard is
biting the heel of the sleeping youth. I shall not offer my own conjectures
in explanation of this allegorical sculpture, unless your correspondents
fail to give a more satisfactory solution.

"_Paetus and Arria_."--Can you inform me who is the author of _Paetus and
Arria, a Tragedy_, 8vo., 1809?

In Genest's _Account of the English Stage_, this play is said to be written
by a gentleman of the University of Cambridge. Can you tell me whether this
is likely to be W. Smyth, the late Professor of Modern History in that
university, who died in June, 1849?

GW.

_Heraldic Query_.--A. was killed in open rebellion. His son B. lived in
retirement under a fictitious name. The grandson C. retained the assumed
name, and obtained new arms. Query, {220} Can the descendants of C. resume
the arms of A.? If so, must they substitute them for the arms of C., or
bear them quarterly, and in which quarters?
