you enlighten me on the subject? LEICESTRENSIS. _The Image of both Churches._--A curious work, treating largely of the schism between the Catholics and Protestants in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was printed at Tornay in 1623, under the following title: _The Image of bothe Churches, Hierusalem and Babel, Unitie and Confusion, Obedience and Sedition, by P. D. M._ What is the proof that this was written by Dr. Matthew Paterson? EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _Double Names._--Perhaps some one would explain why so many persons formerly bore two names, as "Hooker _alias_ Vowel." Illegitimacy may have sometimes caused it: but this will not explain those cases where the bearers ostentatiously set forth both names. Perhaps they were the names of both parents, used even by lawfully born persons to distinguish themselves from others of the same paternal name. T. "_If this fair flower_," &c.--Would you kindly find a place for the lines which follow? I have but slender hopes of discovering their author, but think that their beauty is such as to deserve a reprint. They are not by Waller; nor Dryden, as far as I know. I found them in a periodical published in Scotland during the last century, and called _The Bee_. "Lines supposed to have been addressed, with the present of a white rose, by a Yorkist, to a lady of the Lancastrian faction. 'If this fair flower offend thy sight, It in thy bosom bear: 'Twill blush to be outmatched in white And turn Lancastrian there!'" I observe that amongst the many "Notes" and quotations on the subject of the supposed power of prophecy before death, no one has cited those most beautiful lines of Campbell in "Lochiel's Warning:" "'Tis the _sunset_ of life gives me mystical lore, And coming events cast their shadows before." W. J. BERNHARD SMITH. Temple. _Hugh Peachell--Sir John Marsham._--Can any of your correspondents give me information respecting one Hugh Peachell, of whom I find the following curious notice in a bundle of MSS. in the State Paper Office, marked "_America and West Indies, No._ 481A." "St. Michael's Toune in ye Barbados, Sept. 30. [1670]. Jo Neuington, Addrese w. Mr. James Drawater, Merch^t at Mr. Jo. Lindapp's, at ye Bunch of Grapes in Ship yard by Temple barre.--All ye news I can write from here is, y^t one Hugh Peachell, who hath been in this Island allmost twenty years and lived w^{th} many persons
