and suppose that Dame Juliana was matron of the Royal Dorset Dog Hospital?

Ducange gives no such word as _lesus_; neither does he nor any authority,
to which I have access, help me to understand the word _clanctura_. I
trust, however, that some of your correspondents will.

_Headings of Chapters in English Bibles._--The arguments or contents which
are prefixed to each chapter of our English Bibles seem occasionally to
vary; some being more full and comprehensive than others. When and by whom
were they compiled? what authority do they possess? and where can we meet
with any account of them?

LITURGICUS.

_Abbot Eustacius and Angodus de Lindsei._--Can any of your learned readers
inform me in what reign an Abbot _Eustacius_ flourished? He is witness to a
charter of Ricardus de Lindsei, on his granting twelve denarii to St. Mary
of _Greenfeld_, in Lincolnshire: there being no date, I am anxious to
ascertain its antiquity. He is there designated "_Eustacius Abbe Flamoei_."
Also witnessed by Willo' decano de Hoggestap, Roberto de Wells, Eudene de
Bavent, Radulpho de Neuilla, &c. The latter appears in the Doomsday Book.
The charter is to be found among Ascough's Col., B. M.

I should also be glad to know whether the Christian name _Angodus_ be
German, Norman, or Saxon. Angodus de Lindsei grants a carrucate of land in
Hedreshille to St. Albans, in the time of the Conqueror. If this person
assumed the name of _Lindsei_ previous to the Doomsday inquisition, ought
not his name to have appeared in the Doomsday Book,--he who could afford to
make a grant of 100 acres of land to the Abbey of St. Albans?

_Oration against Demosthenes._--Mr. Harris of Alexandria made a discovery,
some years ago, of a fragment of an oration against Demosthenes. Can you,
or any of your kind correspondents, favour me with an account of it? I
cannot recall the particulars of the discovery, but I believe the oration,
with a _fac-simile_, was privately printed.

_Pun._--C. H. KENYON (Vol. iii., p. 37.) asks if Milton could have
seriously perpetrated the pun "each tome a tomb." I doubt whether he
intended it for a pun. But his Query induces me to put another. Whence and
when did the aversion to, and contempt for, a pun arise? Is it an offshoot
from the Reformation? Our Catholic fellow-countrymen surely felt no such
aversion; for the claim which they make of supremacy for {142} their church
is b
