We may take this opportunity of noticing that the Queen's printers have lately restored the lesser Saints' Days to the kalendar in their smaller editions of the Common Prayer. We are not aware of any other similar editions in which the kalendar appears thus complete.] _Etymology of "Daysman_."--What is the etymology of _Daysman_, which, in the Book of Job, and in some of our provincial dialects, means a mediator or arbitrator? MARK ANTONY LOWER. [NARES defines _Daysman_, an umpire or arbitrator, from his fixing a day for decision; and adds, "Mr. Todd shows that _day_ sometimes meant Judgment." Jacob, in his _Law Dictionary_, tells us, "Days-man signifies, in the North of England, an arbitrator or person chosen to determine an affair in dispute, who is called a _Dies-man_ or _Days-man_." Jacob's definition may be again illustrated from NARES:--"In Switzerland (as we are informed by Simlerus) they had some common arbitrators, or _dayesmen_, in every towne, that made a friendly composition betwixt man and man."--Burton, _Anat_.] _Roland Monoux_.--In answer to your correspondent "M", p. 137., the monumental brass in his possession is, no doubt, from the church at _Edmonton_, Middlesex. Lysons (_Environs of London_, vol. ii. p. 263.), in his description of Edmonton Church, says, "Near the door is a brass plate, with some English verses to the memory of ROLAND MONOUX (no date)." He subjoins, in a _note_, "arms--on a chevron betw. 3 oak-leaves as many bezants, on a chief 2 anchors, a market for difference. On the brass plate are some English verses, nowise remarkable." These arms (omitting the _chief_) are those borne by the Baronet Monnoux of Sandy in Bedfordshire (extinct in 1814), who was descended from Sir George Monox, of Walthamstow, Lord Mayor of London, who died in 1543, to whom and his lady there are brasses in Walthamstow Church. ROLAND of Edmonton was doubtless of the same family. I am not able to give an opinion of the _date_ of the brass in question; but it might be readily conjected from the style of its execution. Your readers will, I am sure, all unite with me in commendation of your correspondent "M's" correct feeling in offering to restore this monument to its original site. I hope "M's" example will find many followers. There are hundreds of {189} these pillaged brasses in the hands of "collectors," and your admirable publication will have effected a great public good, if it shall have been instrumental in promoting their restoration. Cambridge, Jan. 1. 1850. E. VENTRIS. * * * * * _Ancient Motto_.--In reference to a query (No. 6. p. 93.), and a reply (No. 7. p. 104.), permit me to remark, that St. Augustine, the celebrated Bishop of Hippo, was the person who caused to be engraved on his table the distich against detractors. Possidius, in his Life of that Father (S. Augustini, _Opera Omnia_, Paris, 1690, vol. x. part ii. p. 272.), gives the verses--no doubt an adaptation of Horace--thus:--
