n which sat
the writer and certain widows armed with bolsters in pink satin bags. The
word having been given to "Charge!" this new kind of war-chariot was driven
down the hill at full speed, gunpowder ignited on its roof, and blazing
squibs protruded {478} through its back, sides, and front. The ingenious
author declares that the onslaught was crowned with complete success; but
here, most unfortunately, the sheet ends: and unless you, Mr. Editor, or
some of your correspondents, will kindly help me to the rest of the
narrative, I must, I fear return unexperienced to my grave. I have omitted
to mention, that the date of this event is given as the 4th of July, 1799.

_Schonbornerus._--Can any of your readers give me information about a book
I became possessed of by chance a short time ago, or tell me anything
respecting its author, for whom I have vainly sought biographical
dictionaries? The volume is a duodecimo, and bears the following
title-page:

"Georgii Schonborneri Politicorum, Libri Septem. Editio ad ipsius
Authoris emendatum Exemplar nunc primum vulgata. Amsterodami: apud L.
Elzevirium, anno 1642."

It is written in Latin, and contains as many quotations as the _Anatomy of
Melancholy_, or Mr. Digby's _Broad Stone of Honour_.

_Symbol of Globe and Cross._--Can any one oblige me with an explanation of
the mysterious symbols on a seal not older than the last century? It
contains a globe, bearing a cross upon it, and a winged heart above, with
the legend "_Pour vous_."

_Booth Family._--Can any of your Lancashire correspondents afford
information bearing on the families of Booth of Salford, and Lightbown of
Manchester? Is any pedigree extant of either of these families, and what
arms did they bear? Humphrey Booth founded, I believe, a church in Salford
about the year 1634, the patronage of which still remains, as it might
seem, in the family, the _Clergy List_ describing it as in the gift of Sir
R. G. Booth.

There is a Booth Hall in Blackley, a small village lying by the road side,
between Manchester and Middleton; and from the _inquisitio post mortem_ of
Humphrey Booth, 12 Car. I., it appears that he died seised of lands in
Blackley as well as Salford.

Is there any evidence to connect him with this hall, as the place of his
residence?

_Ennui._--What is our nearest approach to a correct rendering of this
expression? S
