LEGISLATION AGAINST TOBACCO.-Robert Christison, M.D., in A Treatise on Poisons (Edinburgh 1829), writing on Tobacco, on p. 619 says: "Soon after it was brought to England by Sir W. Raleigh, King James wrote a philippic against it, entitled The Counterblast to Tobacco.' Some countries even prohibited it by severe edicts. Amurath the 4th in particular made the smoking of tobacco capital; several of the Popes excommunicated those who smoked in the church of St. Feter's; in Russia it was punished with amputation of the nose; and in the Canton of Bern it ranked in the tables next to adultery, and even so late as the middle of last century a particular court was held there for trying delinquents (note Paris and Fonblanque's Medical Jurisprudence, ii. 415). Like every other persecuted novelty, however, smoking and snufftaking passed from place to place with rapidity; and now there appear to be only two luxuries which yield to it in prevalence, spirituous liquors and tea." Unless this subject has already been discussed in N. & Q.' particulars of the "severe edicts" might be of general interest if any readers can supply them. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. COTTAGE AT ENGLEFIELD GREEN.-In a book in the British Museum, entitled 'Views of Noblemen and Gentlemen's Seats,' &c., by J. Hassell, 1804, there is a plate of 'St. Agnes Cottage, Berks. [sic] the Seat of Mr. Knowles,' and in the accompanying letterpress it is stated that this stood in the old Winchester Road, and takes its name from a well near the house, called St. Agnes Well and it is mentioned by Camden and most historians for being a celebrated spot where pilgrims and devotees, going to Winchester used to stop and do homage to the Saint. Hither, also came many for the benefit of the water, which was reputed to possess many healing qualities." ROBERT GASCOIGNE AND WALTHAMSTOW. -This forgotten soldier and poet of the sixteenth century, so a writer in an old volume of Temple Bar tells us, married a rich widow, presumably after his return from campaigning, and settled down in a " 'poor house at Walthamstow in the Forest." in that retreat. Many of his poems seem to have been written But Walthamstow in the Forest' is just a trifle vague. Can any correspondent identify for us the "poor house," which means a cottage, I take it? M. L. R. BRESLAR. Percy House, Well Street, South Hackney, E.9. as MATTHEW CARTER.-I should be glad to learn if any information can be obtained about Matthew Carter, Esq.," author of a valuable work on Heraldry, known 'Honor redivivus,' and published by "Henry Heringman-at the Ancker on the lower side of the New Exchange in 1673. This appears to be a second edition, and contains what I suppose to be a full-page copy of the author's coat of arms, which is identical with the arms originally granted to a family Now as the house stood in a bye-lane of Carters residing for three or four generafrom Englefield Green to Windsor Great tions in St. Columb, Cornwall, and admitted Park, I should be glad if any reader could in the 'Visitations of 1620 and 1686. give any explanation of the statement about the old Winchester Road or give any information about the well. I can find reference to it in my copy of Camden (Gibson, 1695). The spring which fed the well is or was until recently still in evidence. And who was the "Mr. Knowles" whose seat it was? W. H. WHITEAR, F.R. Hist.S. 10 Fairlawn Court, W.4. no I have failed to trace Matthew Carter in the pedigree of any of the St. Columb family of that name. The first to be mentioned is "Richard, s. of Thomas Karter with whom the pedigree begins. He was born on Jan. 17, 1540. The last member of the family mentioned in the Registers of St. Columb is Honor Carter, whose death is recorded on Sept. 13, 1691. She was the JOHN MILTON AND THE MILBURNS.-I have discovered in two branches of the descendants of Thomas Milburn of London, 1801-2-1848, a tradition of descent from the poet John Milton. From the published accounts of the poet's family, it would seem that any relationship must be collateral unless the descent is through the Clarkes. It is supposed that the maiden name of Thomas Milburn's mother was Warren. I have searched the Milburn wills at Somerset House without definitely ascertaining the name of Thomas Milburn's father. The most significant wills are these : Rev. Thomas Milburn, Rector of Raworth, Essex, signed Aug. 21, 1773, proved London, Dec. 6, 1775. Mentions children, Thomas, Richard, Charles, and Ann; also cousins William and Thomas Studdart (?) of Burnham. Leaves property in Wickford, Essex, to wife Ann (P.R.C. Alexander, 482). Ann Milburn of parish of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, London, July 20, 1787, makes brother Thomas Milburn her heir (Calvert, 145). Thomas Milburn, sailor, only son of Ann Bolt of Wickford, Essex, 1803 (Marriott, 721). Thomas Milburn, sawyer, of Hampton, Middlesex, is made administrator of estates of father, Thomas Milburn, late of St. George's, Hanover Square, and of his mother, Elizabeth Milburn, who died before she could take out letters of administration (Admon. 1777). Hannah Milburn, 1821, formerly of Eastwich Park, near Guilford, Surrey, but recently of Lambeth Square, Surrey, mentions brothers William and John and their I have also found the following Milburn marriages: Thomas Bourton Milburn and Elizabeth Wordsworth of St. James at St. George's Chapel, Feb. 21, 1750. Thomas Milburn of St. Mary White Chapel, Middx., w., and Elizabeth Lodge, w., at St. Benet Paul's Wharf, Sept. 13, 1745. Richard Milburn of St. Ann, Westminster, and Elizabeth Ogilvy at St. Edmund's, Sept. 23, 1795. În 1812 Thomas Milburn & Co., Wine and Spirit Merchants, were at Lloyd's Coffee House. From 1818 until 1830, Thomas Milburn, wine and spirit broker, was at 6 Commercial Sales Rooms, Mincing Lane. I shall be glad if your readers will give me any information that will connect these scattered notes, and especially any clue to account for the Milton tradition. JOSEPH M.

The date of the Appendix is 1721. He writes near the end of the address : THE SENTRY AT POMPEII.-There is a sentry duty in Pompeii at the time of its story of a certain Roman soldier being on over-whelming by an eruption of Vesuvius and that he died at his post while patiently waiting for the change of guard.

I have а wooden carving representing an animal with a face like a tapir, knobs on its back and claws on its feet, seated with a shield suspended from its neck. The arms on the shield are coloured and are Barry of eight or and gules, upon the second ten roses of the first, 4, 3, 2 and 1, impaling or three annulets gules. Whose arms are these? The im. palement is similar to the arms of Hutton. These arms are not given in Burke, nor is there anything similar given in Papworth. I shall be glad to know if the above arms are to be found on any bookplate, seal or monument, or are given in any work on heraldry.

ALLIANCES OF ALLEN FAMILY.-Frances, dau. of Gaynor Barry, of Dormstown, co. Meath, married Joshua, fifth Viscount Allen. I should be glad to know who were the parents of this Gaynor Barry, and what arms the family bore. The mother of Frances, Viscountess Allen, is stated to have been Anne, daughter of the Rev.

CURTIS LATHROP WILLOUGHBY.-Edward Curtis lived at Mardyke House, Hot Wells, Bristol, about a hundred years ago. What family did he belong to? What relation was he to Thomas Curtis (or Curteis) Lord Mayor of London in the sixteenth century? His arms (which I remember seeing as a child) were of a seafaring nature and I think included dolphins and anchors. His wife was a Lathrop. Is anything known of this family? Her sister Margaret married a clergyman called Allen. Her mother was a Willoughby of Gunnersbury House, Middlesex (afterwards sold to George III. for his daughter Princess Amelia). Can any reader give me any in formation about the Willoughbys? W. HAYTHORNE. 83 Abbey Road Mansions, N.W.8. YOUR correspondent M remarks as a side issue that either Robert Goadby (1721-1778) of Sherborne or his wife was the compiler of 'The Life and Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew.' I venture to think that neither could have been more than editor, as the editio princeps of 1745, in which the main facts and incidents already appeared, was printed "by the Farleys for Joseph Drew, Bookseller opposite Castle Lane "in Exeter. I have sometimes wondered whether your correspondent X who at 12 S. vii. 166 evinces a considerable knowledge of the Farley family could throw any light on the point, but his anonymity prevented The title of the communication with him. Exeter-printed book is 'The Life and Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew the noted Devonshire Stroller and Dog-stealer, caused the Exeter origin of the book to be ultimately forgotten. The text of this 1751 edition was greatly altered, the narrative, including a long dedication, being made subservient to a offered. In this form it ran through many rancorous attack on Fielding as opportunity editions, the last two, of which I possess copies, being the eighth of 1768, and the ninth of 1775. Goadby would then be 24 years of age only and, so far as is known, unconnected with Even if it be supposed that Mr. or Mrs. Exeter. That the mumpers were giving Goadby recast the 1749 and 1750 editions trouble at the time is clear from contem- it is difficult to believe that they were conporary newspapers, e.g., The Reading Mer-cerned in the book, other than financially, cury for Jan. 14, 1745. The next issue of the book, the first to connect it with Goadby, is undated, but was probably the one referred to in the Register of Books in The Gent. Mag. for October 1749 (p. 480). It will be noticed that the title has assumed a bolder form::An Apology for the Life of Bampfylde Moore Carew commonly known throughout the West of England by the title of King of the Beggars, and Dog-Merchant-General.... Printed by R. Goadby and Sold by W. Owen, bookseller, at Temple Bar, London." 66 New material is incorporated which is balanced by some omissions, but the most noticeable difference is the change of tone. Warnings to the beneficently-minded find no place, and in lieu are substituted certain specious arguments justifying Carew's mode of life. Clearly some one with a turn for satire had revised the book. The next or third edition, bearing date at the end of the preface of Feb. 10, 1750, was much enlarged, and the work is for the first time broken up into chapters. The imprint now becomes " Printed for R. Goadby and W. Owen, Bookseller, at Temple Bar." added matter is a footnote to p. 313 containing a depreciatory remark on Fielding's Tom Jones which, but for the event, would pass unnoticed. Of The next edition is announced in The Whitehall Evening Post, Nov. 12 to 1751: 14, This day was published in a pocket volume, neatly printed, the second edition, with consider able additions and a Dedication to Justice Fielding, An Apology for the Life of Mr. Bampfylde Moore Carew who has been for more than twenty-eight years past, and is at this time, the King of the Beggars.... With a parellel drawn between Mr. B. M. C. and Tom Jones....Frinted for R. Goadby in Sherburn, and W. Owen at Temple Bar." By calling this "the second edition" the editio princeps and the edition of 1749 when it became a professed attack on Fielding. In 1751 Fielding had many enemies in London quite ready enough to assist Owen who, in fact, published in that year an Examen of Tom Jones,' a malicious criticism of the novel. It was not uncommon at that period for books sold in London to be printed in the country. In 1766 the first edition of Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield published by Newbery of Pater Noster Row was printed by B. Collins in Salisbury. 6 In 1782 an edition of the Apology was produced by J. and R. Tonson and other London publishers 66 omitting the parallel....between Mr. Carew and Tom Jones....The remarks on Mr. Fielding's performance being so very ill-natured and appeared much more like private pique than candid criti cism." There is one point that gives secret satisfaction to those with friendly feelingstowards Fielding. One of Carew's victims was Mrs. Rhodes of Kingsbridge from whom the arch villain obtained money by false pretences. Had Fielding's detractors only known that this lady, as Sarah Andrew, had been his first love what scurrility they would have indulged in! One word in praise of the book.

Thomas Hood published several works on nautical matters and amongst them The Use of both the Globes, Celestial and Terrestrial,' &c., in 1592.
