Minor Notes.

"_Hierosolyma est perdita._"--Whilst studying in Germany, I remember seeing
one day some Jews in a great passion because a few little boys had been
shouting "Hep! hep!" On information I heard, that whenever the German
knights headed a Jew-hunt in the Middle Ages, they always raised the cry
"Hep! hep!" This is remembered even to the present day.

_Quaint Inscription in a Belfry._--I think the following unique piece of
authorship deserves, for its quaint originality, a corner in "N. & Q." It
is copied from an inscription dated Jan. 31, 1757, in the belfry of the
parish church of Fenstanton, Hunts:

"January y^e 31, 1757.
Hear was ten defran^t
Peals Rung in 50 minutes
which is 1200,
Changes by thouse,
names who are Under.

1. Jn^o Allin
2. Jm^s Brown
3. Jno. Cade
4. Rob^t Cole
5. Will^m How."

"All you young Men y^t larn y^o Ringen Art,
Besure you see & will perform your part
no Musick with it Can Excell.
nor be compared to y^e Melodeus bells."

Perhaps I may as well add that this is a faithful copy of the original
inscription, both in orthography and punctuation.

_The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel and Judah._--After the many
conjectures which have been formed respecting the [Hebrew: SPR DBRY HYMYM]
of the kings of Israel and Judah, allow me to suggest the probability of
their bearing some resemblance to the records of the "wars" and "might" of
the monarchs of Assyria, recently brought to light by Mr. Layard.
