t friend Lloyd. The splendid pentameter is slightly misquoted by BALLIOLENSIS. It is not-- "Poscimus in _terris_ pauca, nec illa diu." but-- "Poscimus in _vita_," &c. THOMAS RUSSELL POTTER. Wymeswold, Loughborough. _Wylcotes' Brass_ (Vol. viii., p. 494.).--I should hardly have supposed that any difficulty could exist in explaining the inscription: "In . on . is . all." To me it appears self-evident that it must be-- "In one (God) is my all." H. C. C. _Hoby, Family of; their Portraits, &c_. (Vol. viii., p. 244.).--I would refer J. B. WHITBORNE to _The Antiquities of Berkshire_ (so miscalled), by Elias Ashmole; where, in treating of Bisham, that learned antiquary has given the inscriptions to the Hoby family as existing _and legible in his time_. It does not appear that Sir Philip Hoby, or Hobbie, Knight, was ever of the Privy Council; but, in 1539, one of the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber to King Henry VIII. (which monarch granted to him in 1546-7 the manor of Willoughby in Edmonton, co. Middlesex), Sir Thomas Hoby, the brother, and successor in the estates of Sir Philip, was, in 1566, ambassador to France; and died at Paris July 13 in the same year (not 1596), aged thirty-six. The coat of the Hobys of Bisham, as correctly given, is "Argent, within a border engrailed sable, three spindles, threaded in fesse, gules." A grant or confirmation of this coat was made by Sir Edward Bysshe, Clarenceux, to Peregrine Hoby of Bisham, Berks, natural son of Sir Edward Hoby, Nov. 17, 1664. The Bisham family bore no crest nor motto. H. C. C. _The Keate Family_ (Vol. viii., pp. 293. 525.)--Should the Query of G. B. B. not be sufficiently answered by the extract from Mr. Burke's _Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England_ relating to the Keate family, as I have a full pedigree of that surname, I may perhaps be able, on application, to satisfy him with some genealogical particulars which are not noticed in Mr. Burke's works. H. C. C. _Sir Charles Cotterell_ (Vol viii., p. 564.).--Sir Charles Cotterell, the translator of _Cassandra_, died in 1687. (See Fuller's _Worthies_, by Nuttall, vol. ii. p. 309.) [Greek: Halieus]. Dublin. _Huc's Travels_ (Vol. viii., p. 516.).--Not having seen the _Gardener's Chronicle_, in which C. W. B. says the travels of Messrs. Huc and Gabet in Thibet, Tartary, &c. are said to be a pure fabrication, concocted by some Parisian _litterateur_, I cannot know what deg
