ng the risk of being smiled at for my
ignorance, I wish to have a reference to the following lines:

"Navita Erythraeum pavidus qui navigat aequor,
In prorae et puppis summo resonantia pendet
Tintinnabula; eo sonitu praegrandia Cete,
Balenas, et monstra marina a navibus arcet."

_Edmund Burke._--Can any of your correspondents tell me when and where
he was married?

_Plan of London._--Is there any good plan of London, showing its present
extent? The answer is, None. What is more, there never was a decent plan
of this vast metropolis. There is published occasionally, on a small
sheet of paper, a wretched and disgraceful pretence to one, bedaubed
with paint. Can you explain the cause of this? Every other capital in
Europe has handsome plans, easy to be obtained: nay more, almost every
provincial town, whether in this country or on the Continent, possesses
better engraved and more accurate plans than this great capital can
pretend to. Try and use your influence to get this defect supplied.

_Minchin._--Could any of your Irish correspondents give me any
information with regard to the sons of Col. Thomas Walcot (c. 1683), or
the families of Minchin and Fitzgerald, co. Tipperary, he would much
oblige

MINOR QUERIES WITH ANSWERS.

_Leapor's "Unhappy Father."_--Can you tell me where the scene of this
play, a tragedy by Mary Leapor, is laid, and the names of the _dramatis
personae_? It is to be found in the second volume of _Poems_, by Mary
Leapor, 8vo. 1751. This authoress was the daughter of a gardener in
Northamptonshire, and the only education she received consisted in being
taught reading and writing. She was born in 1722, and died in 1746, at
the early age of twenty-four. Her poetical {383} merit is commemorated
in the Rev. John Duncombe's poem of the _Feminead_.
