En un moment elle est fletrie;

Ne finira qu'avec ma vie."

_John Collard the Logician._--Could any of your correspondents tell me
where I could find any account of _John Collard_, who wrote three treatises
on Logic:--The first, under the name of _N. Dralloc_ (his name reversed),
_Epitome of Logic_, Johnson, St. Paul's Church Yard, 1795; in his own name,
_Essentials of Logic_, Johnson, 1796; and in 1799, the _Praxis of Logic_.
He is mentioned as _Dralloc_ by Whately and Kirwan; but nobody seems to
have known him as _Collard_ but Levi Hedge, the American writer on that
subject. I made inquiry, some forty years ago, and was informed that he
lived at Birmingham, was a chairmaker by profession, and devoted much of
his time to chemistry; that he was known to and esteemed by Dr. Parr; and
that he was then dead.

At the close of his preface to his _Praxis_ he says,--

"And let me inform the reader also, that this work was not composed in
the pleasant tranquillity of retirement, but under such untoward
circumstances, that the mind was subject to continual interruptions and
vexatious distraction."

Then he adds,--

"I have but little doubt but this _Praxis_ will, at some future period,
find its way into the schools; and though critics should at present
condemn what they have either no patience or inclination to examine, I
feel myself happy in contemplating, that after I am mouldered to dust,
it may assist our reason in this most essential part."

_Traherne's Sheriffs of Glamorgan._--Could any of your readers tell me
where I might see a copy of _A List of the Sheriffs of County Glamorgan_,
printed (privately?) by Rev. J. M. Traherne? I have searched the libraries
of the British Museum, the Athenaeum Club, and the Bodleian at Oxford, in
vain.

_Haybands in Seals._--I have, in a small collection of Sussex deeds, two
which present the following peculiarity: they have the usual slip of
parchment and lump of wax pendant from the lower edge, but the wax, instead
of bearing an armorial figure, a merchant's mark, or any other of the
numerous devices formerly employed in the authentication of deeds instead
of one's chirograph, has neatly inserted into it a small wreath composed of
two or three stalks of grass (or rather hay) carefully plaited, and forming
a circle somewh
