_Obv._ A ship of war bearing the French flag; on the shore a figure in the dress of a Jesuit (supposed to represent Father Petre) seated astride of a _Lobster_, holding in his arms the young Prince of Wales, who has a little windmill on his head. Legend: "Allons mon Prince, nous sommes en bon chemin." In the exergue, "Jacc: Franç: Eduard, supposé. 20 Juin, 1688." _Rev._ A shield charged with a windmill, and surmounted by a Jesuit's bonnet; two rows of Beads or Rosaries, for an order or collar, within which we read "Honny soit qui _non_ y pense;" a _Lobster_ is suspended from the collar as a badge. Legend: "Les Armes et l'Ordre du pretendu Prince de Galles." The difficulty in the above medal is _the Lobster_, though doubtless it had an allusion to some topic or scandal of the day; whoever can elucidate it will render good service to Medallic History, for hitherto it has baffled all commentators and collectors of medals. The windmill (indicative of the poplar fable that the Prince was the son of a miller), and the Roman Catholic symbols, are well understood. There is an engraving of this medal in Van Loon's _Histoire Metallique des Pays Bas_. It is also imperfectly engraved in Edwards' _Medallic History of England_, for the Jesuit is represented kneeling on the shore, and Pinkerton, who furnished the text, calls it "a boy kneeling on the shore." The medal is so rare that probably the artist could obtain only a rubbed or mutilated impression to engrave from. My description is from a {59} specimen, in my own collection, as fine as the day it was minted. I may add that both Van Loon and Pinkerton have engraved the legend in the collar erroneously, "honi soit qui _bon_ y pense;" it should be "_non_." B. NIGHTINGALE. * * * * * ROGER DE COVERLEY. In the _Spectator's_ description of Sir Roger de Coverley it is said, "that his great-grandfather was the inventor of that famous country dance which is called after him." To the tune, as printed in Chappell's _English Melodies_, is appended a note to the effect that it was called after "Roger of Coverley" (Cowley, near Oxford). Can any one inform me-- I. Where any notice of that Roger is to be found? II. What is the etymon of "Cowley" (Temple Cowley and Church Cowley)? III. If any notice of the tune is to be met with earlier than 1695, when it was printed by H. Playford in his _Dancing Master_?
