on to Kingsland and Mile End Green, receiving charity
as they went, and having "a cart load or two of biskett behind them."
Thence they proceeded by Aldgate, through Cheapside, Fleetstreet, and
the Strand, and on through Westminster.
"Many of them brought their wives and berns in with them, yet
were many of our scotified citizens so pitifull unto them, that
as they passed through the city, they made them, though
prisoners at mercy, masters of more money and good white bread
than some of them ever see in their lives. They marched this
night [Saturday, Sept. 13.] into Tuttle Fields. Some Irishmen
are among them, but most of them are habited after that
fashion."
The contemporary journals in the British Museum would probably state
some epidemic which may have caused the mortality that followed.

_Long Friday_ (Vol. ii., p. 323.).--T.E.L.L. is not correct in his
supposition that "Long Friday" is the same as "Great Friday". In Danish,
Good Friday is Langfredag; in Swedish, Laengfredag. I have always
understood the epithet had reference to the length of the services.

_The Bradshaw Family_ (Vol. ii., p. 356.).--The president of the
pretended high court of justice, a Cheshire man, had no connexion with
Haigh Hall, in Lancashire. E.C.G. may satisfy himself by referring to
Mr. Ormerod's _History of Cheshire_ (vol. iii. p. 408.) for some
valuable information respecting the regicide and his family, and to
Wotton's _Baronetage_ (vol. iii. P. 2. p. 655.) for the descent of the
loyal race of Bradshaigh.

_Julin, the drowned City_ (Vol. ii., pp. 230. 282.).--I am sorry I did
not state more clearly the inquiry respecting the fate of _Julin_, which
DR. BELL has been so good as to notice. This is partly the printer's
fault. I spoke of the _drowned_, not the _doomed_ city.
The _drowning_ was what I desired some account of. "A flourishing
emporium of commerce", extant {380} in 1072, and now surviving only in
tradition, and in "records" of ships wrecked on its "submerged ruins,"
does not sink into the ocean without exciting wonder and pity. I knew of
the tradition, and presumed there was some probability of the existence
of a legend (_legendum_, something to be _read_) describing a
catastrophe that must have been widely heard of when it happened.
This I conjectured might be found in Adam of Bremen; to whose mention of
