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.

_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."

_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.

"_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.

_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;
