Glendalloch (_History of Ireland_, p. 174.), or those of Grymbald's
Crypt at Oxford, he might have been expected to have attributed their
monstrosities to his order, with as little hesitation and as thorough a
contempt of chronology, or proved connection, as he has the curious and
innocent sculptures of the church at Schoengrabern in Bohemia (vide
_Curiositaeten_, vol. viii. p. 501.).

MINOR NOTES.

_Prince Modoc._--At p. 57., "ANGLO-CAMBRIAN" refers to the report of the
Proceedings of the British Association at Swansea, in Aug. 1848,
extracted from the _Athenaeum_ newspaper. In the course of a discussion
which took place on Prof. Elton's address, it was observed (if I
recollect rightly) by the learned Dr. Latham, that a vocabulary of the
so-called Welsh-Indian dialect has been formed, and that it contains _no
trace_ of any Celtic root.

_St. Barnabas._--About the time of the Reformation, it was strongly

conversion of St. Paul is put down in _black_, and St. Barnabas is
_omitted altogether_! No wonder, therefore, if, in Suffolk, liberties
were taken with the name of St. Barnabas, and it was transferred to
doggerel rhyme, to be repeated by children.

_Register of Cromwell's Baptism._--The communication of your
correspondent C.W.G. at p. 103. of your last number, induces me to offer

Huntingdon, of the birth and baptism of Oliver Cromwell:--

"Anno Domini 1599 Oliverus filius Roberti Cromwell generosi et
Elisabethae huxoris ejus Natus vicesimo quinto die Aprilis et
Baptisatus vicesimo nono ejusdem mensis."

Then follow the words "England's plague for many years," written in a
different hand.

_The Times._--A correspondent (NASO) informs us of the following fact in
the history of this widely circulated and influential journal; namely,
that it is stated in that the paper of the 12th of March, 1788, that it
was printed "Logographically!" We wish our correspondent had furnished
us with the precise words of this very curious statement. {137}

_Roland Monoux._--I have in my possession a brass monumental plate,
said to have been taken from some church in Middlesex, and bearing
