ay to London. In Akerman's _Tradesmen's Tokens current in
London_ I find one (numbered 1442) of the "Dogg's-Head-in-the-Potte" in Old
Street, having the device of a dog eating out of a pot; and the token of
Oliver Wallis, in Red Cross Street (No. 1610., A.D. 1667), has the device
of a dog eating out of a three-legged pot. In April, 1850, Hayward Brothers
(late R. Henly and Co.), wholesale and manufacturing builders ironmongers,
196. Blackfriars Road, and 117. and 118. Union Street, Borough, London (who
state their business to have been established 1783), put forth an
advertisement headed with a woodcut of a dog eating out of a three-legged
pot.

Can any of your readers elucidate this sign of the "Dog's-head-in-the Pot?"

_"Poor Allinda's growing old."_--Charles II., to vex the Duchess of
Cleveland, caused Will Legge to sing to her--

"Poor Allinda's growing old,
Those charms are now no more."

(See Lord Dartmouth's note in _Burnet_, vol. i. p. 458. ed. 1823.) Let me
ask, through "NOTES AND QUERIES," Dr. Rimbault, Mr. Chappell, or any
readers, where are these verses to be found?

_Who was the Author of "The Modest Enquiry, &c."?_--There is an anonymous
tract, entitled _A Modest Enquiry, &c._, (4to. London, 1687), on the
question of St. Peter's ever having been at Rome: proving, in so far as a
negative in the case can be proved, in the most logical, full, clear, and
satisfactory manner, that--_He never was at Rome_; and _never was, either
nominally or otherwise, Bishop_ _of the Church there_: and showing the
grounds for the contrary assertion to be altogether baseless and untrue;
being a tissue of self-contradicting forgeries and frauds, invented long
subsequently to the time, evidently for the sole purpose of justifying the
Papal pretensions of succession and derivation from the Apostle; as those,
and all its other claims, are founded alone upon that fact, and must stand
or fall with it.

The inquiry is conducted throughout with evidence of great acquaintance
with Scripture and much theological learning (though the writer states
himself to be a layman), without the least undue pretension, and with the
most perfect temperateness and impartiality. The work would seem now well
worth reprinting in a cheap and popular form.

Who was the author?
