I cannot but think that some Cambridge men know the whole, which would be
invaluable to retrieve. There is nothing about it in Kidd.

they remember to have met with this lady's name, kindly inform me where it

_The Meaning of "Race" in Ship-building._--In Hawkin's _Voyages_ ("Hakluyt
Society, 1847"), p. 199., he says, "Here is offerred to speak of a point
much canvassed amongst carpenters and sea-captains, diversely maintained
but yet undetermined, that is, whether the _race_, or loftie built shippe,
bee best for the merchant;" and again, p. 219.: "A third and last cause of
the losse of sundry of our men, most worthy of note for all captains,
owners, and carpenters, was the _race_ building of our ship, the onely
fault she had," &c. Can any of your correspondents explain what is meant by
"race"; the editor of the _Voyages_, Captain C. R. D. Bethune, R.N.,
confesses himself unable to explain it.

_The Battle of Death._--I possess a curious old print entitled "The Battle
of Death against all Creatures, and the Desolation wrought by Time." It
bears the engraver's name, "Robert Smith," but no date. The figures,
however, which are numerous, and comprise all ranks, seem to present the
costume of the latter end of the 16th century. There is a long inscription
in verse, and another in prose: query, who was the author of the verses,
and what is the date of the engraving? As I am on the subject of prints,
perhaps some person learned in such matters will also be kind enough to
inform me what number constitutes a complete series of the engravings after
Claude by Francis Vivares; and who was "Jean Rocque, Chirographaire du
Roi," who executed several maps of portions of London, also a map of
Kilkenny?

_Execution of Charles I._--Is the name of the executioner known who
beheaded King Charles I.? Is there any truth in the report that it was an
Earl Stair?

_Morganitic Marriage._--In Ducange, &c., the adjective _morganitic_ is
