I am anxious to ascertain what was Mr. Munro's occupation in London, the date of his death, and any interesting or characteristic notes concerning him. Judging from his tastes, it seems highly probable that he may have been known to more than one of your metropolitan correspondents. Perhaps you will not think such Queries undeserving of a corner in your useful vehicle of literary intercommunication, nor A. Z.'s _anonimity_ unworthy of an effort to rede the riddle. DAN. WILSON. Edinburgh. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Song in Praise of the Marquess of Granby._--Can any of your correspondents furnish me with the words of a song written in praise of the Marquess of Granby, who was so distinguished as a general officer in the middle of the last century? I think the first verse ended with-- "But the jewel of Grantham is Granby." It was sung to the tune of "Over the Water to Charlie." F. W. S. _Venda._--Can any of your correspondents tell me what is the origin and use of this word, as a prefix to names of places in Portugal; as it occurs, for instance, in Venda da Agua, Venda da Pia, Venda das Monachos, &c., places not far from Torres Vedras? C. E. F. _The Georgiad._--About 1814, at Cambridge, some lines under this title were commonly attributed to the late Rev. E. Smedley (Seaton prizeman). Can any reader supply a copy? Two stanzas run thus: "George B----[1] has turn'd a saint, they say: But who believes the tale? George D---- [2] might as soon turn gay! George C----'s[3] flirting fail! "George D----[4] set the Thames on fire! George R---- his reign renew! George R---- imitate his sire, And to his friends be true!" AITCH. [Footnote 1: "G. A.
