"_Scotorum_ denique, superioribus annis, frequentatione celebris et
_Scoticarum_ mercium, praecipue vellerum ovillorum, stapula, ut vocant,
et emporium esse coepit."--L. Guicciardini, _Belgium_ (1646), vol. ii.
pp. 67, 68.

Will J. D. S. be so good as to say where he found the "Campvere privileges"
referred to?

_Haulf-naked_ (Vol. vii., p. 432.).--The conjecture that _Half-naked_ was a
manor in co. Sussex is verified by entries in _Cal. Rot. Pat._, 11 Edw. I.,
m. 15.; and 13 Edw. I., m. 18. Also in _Abbreviatio Rot. Orig._, 21 Edw.
III., _Rot._ 21.; in which latter it is spelt _Halnaked_.

_Old Picture of the Spanish Armada_ (Vol. vii., p. 454.).--Although perhaps
this may not be reckoned an answer to J. S. A.'s Query on this head, I have
to inform you that in the steeple part of Gaywood Church near this town, is
a fine old painting of Queen Elizabeth reviewing the forces at Tilbury
Fort, and the Spanish fleet in the distance. It is framed, and sadly wants
cleaning.

_Parochial Libraries_ (Vol. vi., p. 432., &c.).--We have in St. Margaret's
parish a parochial library, which is kept in a room fitted up near the
vestry of the church in this town.

To the list of places where there are parochial libraries may be added
Bewdley, in Worcestershire. There is a small library in the Grammar School
of that place, consisting, if I recollect aright, mainly of old divinity,
under the care of the master: though it is true, for some years, there has
been no master.

In the preface to the _Life of Lord Keeper Guilford_, by Roger North, it
appears that Dudleys youngest daughter of Charles, and granddaughter of
Dudley Lord North, dying,--

"Her library, consisting of a choice collection of Oriental books, by
the present Lord North and Grey, her only surviving brother, was given
to the parochial library of Rougham in Norfolk, where it now remains."

This library then existed in 1742, the date of the first edition of the
work.

_How to stain Deal_ (Vol. vii., p. 356.).--Your correspondent C. will find
that a solution of {559} asphaltum in boiling turpentine is a very good
stain to dye deal to imitate oak. This must be applied when cold with a
brush to the timbers: allowed to get dry, then size and varnish it.

The dye, however, which I always use, is a c
