_Immoral Works._--What ought to be done with works of this class? It is easy to answer, "destroy them:" but you and I know, and Mr. Macaulay has acknowledged, that it is often necessary to rake into the filthiest channels for historical and biographical evidence. I, personally, doubt whether we are justified in destroying _any_ evidence, however loathsome and offensive it may be. What, then, are we to do with it? It is impossible to keep such works in a private library, even under lock and key, for death opens locks more certainly than Mr. Hobbs himself. I think such ought to be preserved in the British Museum, entered in its catalogue, but only permitted to be seen on good reasons formally assigned in writing, and not then allowed to pass into the reading-room. What is the rule at the Museum? I ask these questions because I have, by accident, become possessed of a poem (about 1500 lines) which professes to be written by Lord Byron, is addressed to Thomas Moore, and was printed abroad many years since. It begins,-- "Thou ermin'd judge, pull off that sable cap." More specific reference will not be necessary for those who have seen the work. Is the writer known? I am somewhat surprised that not one of Byron's friends has, so far as I know, hinted a denial of the authorship; for, scarce as {67} the work may be, I suppose some of them must have seen it; and, under existing circumstances, it is possible that a copy might get into the hands of a desperate creature who would hope to make a profit, by republishing it with Byron's and Moore's names in the title-page. I. W. _Arms at Bristol._--In a window now repairing in Bristol Cathedral is this coat:--Arg. on a chevron or (_false heraldry_), three stags' heads caboshed. Whose coat is this? It is engraved in Lysons' _Gloucestershire Antiquities_ without name. E. D. _Passage in Thomson._--In Thomson's "Hymn to the Seasons," line 28, occurs the following passage: "But wandering oft, with brute, unconscious gaze, Man marks not Thee; marks not the mighty hand That, ever busy, wheels the silent spheres; Works in the secret deep; shoots, _steaming_, thence The fair profusion that o'erspreads the spring," &c. Can any of your readers oblige by saying whether the word _steaming_, in the fourth line of the quotation, is the correct reading? If so, in what sense it can be understood? if not, whether _teeming_ is not probably the correct word? W. M. P. "_For God will be your King to-day._"-- "For God will be your King to-day, And I'll be general under." My grandmother, who was a native of Somersetshire, and born in 1750, used to recite a ballad to my mother, when a child, of which the above lines are the only ones remembered. Do they refer to the rising under the Duke of Monmouth? And where can the whole of the ballad be found? M. A. S. 35. Dover Road.
