There are two English words, in pronouncing which not a single letter of them is sounded; namely _ewe_ (yo!) and _aye_ (I!) UNEDA. Philadelphia. _Bookselling in Glasgow in 1735._--The following curious report of a law case appears in Morison's _Dictionary of the Decisions of the Court of Session_, p. 9455. It appears from it that, so late as 1735, the city of Glasgow, now containing a population of nearly 400,000, was considered too limited a sphere for the support of only _two_ booksellers. "1735, January 15. Stalker against Carmichael. Carmichael and Stalker entered into a co-partnery of bookselling within the City of Glasgow, to continue for three years; and because _the place was judged too narrow for two booksellers at a time_, it was stipulated that after the expiry of three years, either of them refusing to enter into a new contract upon the former terms, should be debarred from any concern in bookselling within the city of Glasgow. In a reduction of the contract, the Lords found the debarring clause in the contract is a lawful practice, and not contrary to the liberty of the subject." X. Y. Edinburgh. _Epitaph on a Sexton._--Epitaph on a sexton, who received a great blow by the clapper of a bell: "Here lyeth the body of honest John Capper, Who lived by the bell, and died by the clapper." Answer to the foregoing: "I am not dead indeed, but have good hope, To live by the bell when you die by the rope." E. * * * * * Queries. EUSTACHE DE SAINT PIERRE. With the siege of Calais, and its surrender to Edward III. in 1347, is associated the name of Eustache de St. Pierre, whose loyalty and devotedness have been immortalised by the historian, and commemorated by the artist's pencil. The subject of Queen Philippa's intercessions on behalf of Eustache and his brave companions is, no doubt, familiar to most of your readers: the stern demeanour of the king; the tears and supplicating attitude of the Queen Philippa; and the humiliating position of the burgesses of Calais, &c. But what if Eustache de St. Pierre had been bought over by King Edward? For without going the length of pronouncing the scenes of the worthy citizens, with halters round their necks, to have been a "got up" affair, there is, however, some reason to doubt whether the boasted loyalty of Eustache de St. Pierre was such as is represented, as will appear from the following notes. And however much the statements therein contained may detract from the cherished popular notions regarding Eustache de St. Pierre, yet the seeker after truth is inexorable, or, to use the words of Sir Francis Palgrave (_Hist. of Norm. and Eng._, i. 354.), he is expected "to uncramp or shatter the pedestals supporting the idols which have won the false worship of the multitude; so that they may nod in their niches, or topple down."
