colossal size, most splendidly sculptured,
with the long curling hair and full court dress of the period, and the
execution and workmanship of which would do honour to any sculptor of
the past or present time. On the stump of the arm are the name and date
which I have given above, and I have in vain looked into biographical
works.

_Bust of Sir Walter Raleigh_.

Is there an authentic bust of Sir Walter Raleigh in existence? and if
so, where is it to be found?

_Motto of University of Cambridge_.

From what author, "chapter and verse," comes the motto of the University
of Cambridge, HINC LUCEM ET POCULA SAGRA? It is used as a quotation in
Leighton on St. Peter's Epistle, but in the last edition the learned
editor does not give a reference.

_Family of Giles of Worcestershire_.

Can you tell me any thing of a family named "_Giles_," whose crest was a
horse's head? They were connected with Worcestershire.

_Passage from an Old Play._

Can any of your many readers oblige me by informing me where the
following very striking passage can be found? I have seen the lines
quoted as from an "Old Play;" but a tolerable extensive knowledge of old
plays, and a diligent search, have not hitherto enabled me to find
them:--

"Call you the city gay, its revels joyous?
They may be so to you, for you are young,

Belike and happy. She was young in years,
But often in mid-spring will blighting winds
Do autumn's work; and there is grief at heart
Can do the work of years, can pale the cheek,
And cloud the brow, and sober down the spirit.
This gewgaw scene hath fewer charms for her
Than for the crone, that numbering sixty winters,
Pronounceth it all folly.--Marvel not
'Tis left thus willingly."

_Dalton's Doubting's Downfall._

About thirty years ago the following appeared in Lackington and Co.'s
book catalogue: "Dalton (Edward) Doubting's Downfall, 1_s._ 6_d._"
Application was made, when other books were ordered, three several
times; in each case the answer was "_sold_." Since that date inquiries
have been instituted from time to time, in the usual quarters, but
always unsuccessfully. No clue can be given as to the size or date, but
from the quaintness of the title it is presumed to be about the period
of the Commonwealth.

Should any of your readers procure this work, the liberal price of
20_s._ if a book, or 10_s._ if a pam
