zine_, 1848, last page. I am anxious to ascertain if the emblem writer, and the burlesque poet, be one and the same person. The dates, I confess, are somewhat against this conclusion; but there may have been a previous edition of the _Emblematical Representation_ (1779). The _University_ Clark is supposed to have been an Aberdeenshire man. Possibly J. O. may be able to throw some light on the subject. PERTHENSIS. _Christ's Cross_ (Vol. iii., pp. 330. 465.).--In Morley's _Introduction to Practical Music_, originally printed in 1597, and which I quote from a reprint by William Randall, in 4to., in 1771, eighteen mortal pages (42-59), which, in my musical ignorance, I humbly confess to be wholly out of my line, are occupied with the "Cantus," "Tenor," and "Bassus," to the following words: "Christes Crosse be my speed in all vertue to proceede, A, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, & t, double w, v, x, with y, ezod, & per se, con per se, tittle tittle est Amen, When you haue done begin again, begin again." J. F. M. {19} _The Rebellious Prayer_ (Vol. vii., p. 286.).--J. A. may find the poem, of which he quotes the opening lines, in the _Churchman's Monthly Penny Magazine_, October, 1851, with the signature L. E. P. The magazine is published by Wertheim & Macintosh, 24. Paternoster Row. M. E. "_To the Lords of Convention_" (Vol. vii., p. 596.).--L. EVANS will find the whole of the ballad of "Bonnie Dundee," the first line of which he quotes, in Sir Walter Scott's _Doom of Devorgoil_, where it is introduced as a song. Singularly enough, his best ballad is thus found in his worst play. FICULNUS. _Wooden Tombs and Effigies_ (Vol. vii., pp. 528. 607.).--In a chapel adjoining the church of Heveningham in Suffolk, are (or rather were in 1832) the remains of a good altar tomb, with recumbent effigies carved in chesnut, of a knight and his lady: it appeared to be, from the armour and architecture, of the early part of the fifteenth century; and from the arms, _Quarterly or and gules within a border engrailed sable, charged with escallops argent_, no doubt belonged to the ancient family of Heveningham of that place; probably Sir John Heveningham, knight of the shire for the county of Suffolk in the 1st of Henry IV. When I visited this tomb in 1832, it was in a most dilapidated condition: the slab on which the effigy of the knight once rested was broken in; within the head of th
