_Cromwell's Estates--Magor_ (Vol. i., p. 277. 389.).--As the South Wales
line is now open as far as Chepstow, it may not be uninteresting to V.
to know, that it diverges from the coast between Chepstow and Newport,
in order to pass Bishopston and _Magor_, the last of which he rightly
placed in Monmouthshire.

SELEUCUS.

_Vincent Gookin_ (Vol. i., pp. 385. 473. 492.; Vol. ii. p. 44.) is
described in a _Narrative of the late Parliament_ (Cromwell's
Parliament, d. 1656), in the _Harleian Miscellany_, as

"One of the letters of land in Ireland, receiving three hundred
pounds per annum."

He and three other Irish members, Colonel Jephson, Ralph King, and Bice,
are classed together in this tract, which is hostile to Cromwell, as

"Persons not thought meet to be in command, though they much
desire it, and are of such poor principles and so unfit to make
rulers of as they would not have been set with the dogs of the
flock, if the army and others who once pretended to be honest
had kept close to their former good and honest principles."

Vincent Gookin voted for the clause in the "Petition and Advice" giving
the title of "King" to Cromwell.

CH.

_All-to brake_ (Vol. i., p. 395.).--The interpretation given is
incorrect. "All-to" is very commonly used by early writers for
"altogether:" e.g., "all-to behacked," Calfhill's _Answer to Martiall's
Treatise of the Cross_, Parker Society's edition, p. 3.; "all-to
becrossed," _ibid._ p. 91.; "all-to bebatted," _ibid._ p. 133., &c. &c.
The Parker Society reprints will supply innumerable examples of the use
of the expression.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

The two of Mr. Hunter's _Critical and Historical Tracts_, which we have
had the opportunity of examining, justify to the fullest the
expectations we had formed of them. The first, _Agincourt; a
Contribution towards an authentic List of the Commanders of the English
Host, in King Henry the Fifth's Expedition, in the Third Year of his
Reign_, Mr. Hunter describes as "an instalment," we venture to add "a
very valuable instalment," from evidence which has been buried for
centuries in the unknown masses of national records, towards a complete
list of the English Commanders who served with the King in that
expedition, with, in most cases, the number of the retinue which each
Commander undertook to bring into the field,
