ooks. Perhaps some of your correspondents
would answer both these queries. I happen to have a few, some of which
were used in compiling his Dictionary, and are full of his marks, with
references to the quotations, most of which are to be found in the
Dictionary. I have also his own Prayer-Book.

Lichfield, Jan. 11. 1850.

_Golden Frog._--In the church of Boxstead, in the county of Suffolk,
there is a large and very handsome monument of marble, in a niche of
which stands, in full proportion, a man in armour, his head bare, with
moustaches and a tuft on his chin; in his right hand he holds a
truncheon, and by his side is his sword; his armour is garnished with
gold studs, and his helmet stands on the ground behind him; from his
right ear hangs a _gold frog_.

This monument was erected in memory of Sir John Poley, of Wrongay, in
Norfolk, knight, who died in 1638, at the age of upwards of eighty,
having served much abroad under Henry IV. of France, Christian King of
Denmark, &c., and in Queen Elizabeth's service against the Spaniards.

"Illius ante alios cepit cum dextera Gades
Militis Angliaci, et fulmina sensit Iberis."

I send you this detail, in hopes that some of your correspondents may be
able to explain the ornament in his ear, whether it be the badge of any
order, and whether any other instance is known of its use. There is in
Boxstead Hall, the seat of the very ancient family of Poley, a portrait
of Sir John having the same ornament.

_Singular Motto._--Being at Cheltenham in the summer of 1811, I saw a
chariot standing in an inn yard, on the panels of which, under a coat of
arms, apparently belonging to some foreign family, was the following on
a scroll, in the nature of a motto:--"oemn3--ononoe.7 ano--7 emn3." If
any of your correspondents can inform me what is its meaning, and if it
be a motto, to what family it belongs, he will oblige.

_Sir Stephen Fox._--Will any of your intelligent correspondents inform
me whether Sir Stephen Fox, the ancestor of the present Lord Holland and
the Earl of Ilchester, had any brothers or sisters, and if so, whether
they had any children, and who are the legal representatives of those
collateral branches, if any?

_Antony Alsop._--Will any of your correspondents kindly tell me who
Antony Alsop was? A thin Quarto volume of Latin Odes was published in
1753, with the following title: "Antonii Alsopi AEdis
