"The History of the Life, Reign, and Death of Edward II, King of England and Lord of Ireland, with the Rise and Fall of his great Favourites, Gaveston and the Spencers. Written by E.F. in the year 1627, and printed verbatim from the original. London: Printed by J.C. for Charles Harper, at the Flower-de-Luce in Fleet St.; Samuel Crouch, at the Princes' Arms, in Pope's head Alley in Cornhill; and Thomas Fox, at the Angel in Westminster Hall, 1680. (a portrait of Ed. II.)" In the 1st vol. Harl. Miscell. it is said that the above was found with the papers of the first Lord Falkland, and is attributed to him. My copy has Faulconbridge inserted in MS. over the F., and a book plate of Earl Verney, motto "_Prodesse quam conspici_," with an escutcheon of pretence. ANGLO-CAMBRIAN * * * * * THE REVEREND THOMAS LEMAN. Mr. Editor,--Amongst the later authorities on subjects of British-Roman antiquity, the Rev. Thomas Leman is constantly referred to, and in terms of great commendation. Can you inform me whether that gentleman published any work or made an avowed communication of any of his researches? His name is not found in the Index to the _Archæologia_. Mr. Leman contributed largely to Mr. Hatcher's edition of _Richard of Cirencester_; but it is one of the unsatisfactory circumstances of this work that these contributions, and whatever may have been derived from the late Bishop of Cloyne, are merely acknowledged in general terms, and are not distinguished as they occur. I believe the MS. of the work was all in Mr. Hatcher's handwriting; some of your readers may possibly have the means of knowing in what way he used the materials thus given, or to what extent they were adapted or annotated by himself. A.T. Coleman Street, Nov. 13. * * * * * GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. Sir,--Will any of your readers favour me with an account of the origin, as well as the date of introduction, of the term "_Gothic_," as applied to the Pointed Styles of Ecclesiastical Architecture? This Query is, of course, intimately connected with the much-disputed question of the origin of the Pointed Style itself. But yet I imagine that the _application_ of the term "_Gothic_" may be found to be quite distinct, in its origin, from the first rise of the Pointed Arch. The invention of the Pointed Arch cannot, surely, be attributed to the _Goths_; whence then the origin and the _meaning_ of the term _Gothic_? R. VINCENT. Winchester, Nov. 12. * * * * * KATHERINE PEGG. Sir,--I think you may safely add Pepys's _Diary_ to the list of books in illustration of which you are willing to receive both Queries and Answers. There is not a passage in the _Diary_ that does not deserve to be understood. {60} At vol. iv. p. 435. of the new edition is the following entry:--
