ut suppose them to be calculated for the
requirements of a more advanced state of society than that of the dwellers
in Picts' houses. Perhaps some of your correspondents could give
information on this matter. {431} For the above, vide Introduction to
Amedee Thierry's _Histoire des Gaulois, &c._, 1828, p. 57.

_The Drummer's Letter._--The letter from the drummer to the corporal's wife
in _The Sentimental Journey_ (it is hardly possible to give a precise
reference to any part of this little work) ends thus:

"Je suis, Madame,

"Avec toutes les sentimens les plus respectueux et les plus tendres,
tout a vous,

"JAQUES ROCQUE."

Why is the first of the adjectives agreeing with _les sentimens_ in the
wrong gender? The blot may be a trifling one, but I think I may say that it
defaces every copy of this well-known billet-doux. I have seen many
editions of _The Sentimental Journey_, some by the best publishers of the
time in which they lived, and I find the same mistake in all: I do not know
of a single exception. If Sterne wrote _toutes_, it must have been by
accident; there is nothing to prove that he wished to make the poor drummer
commit the solecism, for the rest of his letter is not only correctly, but
even elegantly written.

_The Cardinal Spider._--I have read somewhere an account of a singular
species of spider, which is of unusually large size, and is said to be
found only in Hampton Court Palace.

It is supposed by superstitious persons that the spirits of Cardinal Wolsey
and his retinue still haunt the palace in the shape of spiders; hence the
name "Cardinal."

Can any of your correspondents inform me where such an account is to be met
with, as I have forgotten the name of the book in which I have seen it?

_New England Genealogical Society, &c._--Can any of your correspondents
inform me where I can address a letter to, for Dr. Jenks, Secretary to the
New England Genealogical Society? And where can I see a copy of Farmer's
_New England Genealogical Register_, 1829, and _The New England
Genealogical Register and Magazine for 1847_, mentioned by your
correspondent T. WESTCOTT, "N. & Q.," Vol. vi., p. 495.?
