It is said that an engraving of the portrait in THE KNIGHT OF KERRY's possession stated that she was "born in 1464." Can any of your correspondents refer to this engraving, and say whether there is such an inscription on it, and if any authority is given for that date? H. F. H. * * * * * Minor Queries Answered. _Temple Church and Lincoln's Inn Chapel._--Why is it, and whence results the practice of putting ladies on one side of the church and chapel, or in a separate place by themselves, in these societies? Are the lawyers so attractive that the devotions of the fair sex would be interrupted? L. I. [The lawyers no doubt are lovers of hoar antiquity and primitive customs. "Let the doorkeepers attend upon the entrance of the men; and the deaconesses upon the entrance of the women." (_Apost. Const._, lib. ii. can. lvii.; see also lib. vii. can. xxvi.) In the First Book of King Edward, A.D. 1549, the following rubric occurs: "As many as shall be partakers of the Holy Communion shall tarry still in the quire; the men on the one side, and the women on the other side."--See Wheatly on the _Common Prayer_, chap. vi. sect. 13.] _Edmund Bohun._--In Bright's Catalogue appears, "No. 2939. _Historical Collections_, 1675-1692. 8 vols. folio; formed by Edmund Bohun." Has this collection been dispersed? or where is it now? Bohun refers to it repeatedly in his private diary, which I am printing. S. W. RIX. Beccles. [From the article "Bohun" in Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_ it appears that these _Historical Collections_ have been used in the following work: "_The great Historical, Geographical, and Poetical Dictionary_, Lond. 1694, folio, wherein are inserted the last Five Years' Historical and Geographical Collections, which the said Edm. Bohun, Esq., designed for his own Geographical Dictionary, and never extant till in this work."] "_Nimrod._"--Will some of your correspondents be good enough to tell me who is the author of a very remarkable book entitled _Nimrod: a Discourse upon certain Passages of History and Fable_, London: Priestley, 1828, 4 vols.; and can any one inform me for what purpose or with what intention the book was written? I believe it was suppressed soon after its publication. I have only met with two other copies, besides my own. H. G. [We believe that this work, for some reason or other, was suppressed, but not till after about one hundred copies had been circulated. It is attributed to the Hon. Algernon Herbert, author of _Cyclops Christianus; Antiquity of Stonehenge_.] * * * * * Replies. THE THREE ESTATES OF THE REALM. (Vol. iv., pp. 115. 196. 278.; Vol. v., p. 129.)
