Hunt, in his
_Exemplars of Tudor Architecture_, 4to. London, 1830, in a note at p.
23., alludes to _London and Westminster improved, by John Gywnn,
London_, 1766, 4to., and has this remark:

"It is a singular fact, that in this work John Gwynn pointed out
almost all the designs for the improvement of London, which have
been _devised_ by the civil and military architects of the
present day."

And Mr. Hunt concludes by observing,, that--

"This discovery was made by the _Literary Gazette_."

Will you permit me, through the medium of your useful publication, to
solicit information of the number and date of the _Literary Gazette_
which recalled public attention to this very remarkable fact?

Sec.N.

_Coronet._--In Newbold Church, in the county of Warwick, is a monument
to the memory of Thomas Boughton of Lawford, and Elizabeth his wife,
representing him in a suit of armour, with sword and spurs, _a coronet
on his head_, and a bear at his feet, chained and muzzled. Query.--Can
any of your readers give an accurate description of this coronet? Or can
any of them mention instances of the monuments of esquires having
similar coronets? The date of his death is not given: his wife died in
the year 1454.

_Cinderella._--Referring to Vol. ii., p. 214., allow me to ask in what
edition of Perrault's _Fairy Tales_ the misprint of _verre_ from _vair_
first occurs? what is the date of their first publication, as well as
that of the translation under the title of _Mother Goose's Tales_?
whether Perrault was the originator of _Cinderella_, or from what source
he drew the tale? {298} what, moreover, is the authority for identifying
_sable_ with _vair_ for the employment of either in designating the
highest rank of princesses?

_Judas' Bell, Judas' Candle_ (Vol. i., pp. 195. 235. 357.).--Some time
since I asked the meaning of a Judas' Bell, and your learned
correspondent CEPHAS replied that it was only a bell so christened after
St. Jude, the apostle. However, it may have been connected with the
Judas' tapers, which, according, to the subjoined entries, were used
with the Paschal candle at Easter. May I trust to his kindness to
explain its purport?
