_Ethnology of England_ (Vol. vii., p. 135.).--In reference to that portion of the Query by ETHNOLOGICUS which asks "Whether it is yet clearly settled that there are types of the heads of Ancient Britons, Saxons, Danes, and other races, to be referred to as standards or examples of the respective crania of those people?" I beg to say that beneath the chancel of the church of St. Leonard, Hythe, there is a crypt containing a vast number of skulls and other human bones, which, according to Jeake, the historian of the Cinque Ports, are-- "Supposed by some to be gathered at the shore after a great sea-fight and slaughter of the French and English on that coast; whose carcases, or their bones, after the consumption of the flesh, might be cast up there, and so gathered and reserved for memorandum." Speaking of these relics, Walker, in his _Physiology_, says: "These skulls at Hythe are not of one race, either Saxon or British, but of several; two forms of skull, very distinct from each other, predominate: one, a long narrow skull, greatly resembling the Celtic of the present day; the other, a short broad skull, greatly resembling the Gothic.... Another kind of skulls, fewer in number, are evidently Roman skulls." ROBERT WRIGHT. _Drake the Artist_ (Vol. vi., p. 555.).--Searching a series of catalogues of the Society of Artists of Great Britain, from 1760 to 1780, I find that Mr. Drake at York, F.S.A. (Fellow of that Society), in 1773 exhibited at their New Room, near Exeter Change in the Strand,-- No. 89. "A Family IN LITTLE." Is this to be interpreted by Hamlet's sarcasm upon the sycophants of his uncle's court, who paid "Forty, fifty, nay, one hundred ducats, for his portrait _in little_?" Small full-lengths were in vogue at the period, but our Yorkist has a delicate diminutive of his own. Again, in 1775, we have three works of Drake-- 72. "View of a Gentleman's Seat in Yorkshire, with two Gentlemen going out a-hawking." 73. "Sacarissa with Amoret and Musidora." From Thomson's _Seasons_, 4to. edition, 1730. 74. "A Winter Piece." And in 1776: 23. "A Madonna and Child." Mr Drake, F.S.A., York. There is _no_ trace of him at the Royal Academy. Thus we have him in portraiture, in landscape, in sacred history, and in the poetical imaginative. This is beyond what G. reckons upon; and now, having contributed thus much, I hope some of your readers may assist in carrying the inquiry further. J. H. A. _Sparse_ (Vol. vi., p. 554.; Vol. vii., p. 51.), said to be an Americanism.--I have in my possession an edition, printed in 1611, of the _Whole Book of Psalms, collected into English Metre_, by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins, and others. In the paraphrase of Psalm xliv. v. 10. is the following: "Thou madest us fly before our foes, And so were overtrod. Our enemies rob'd and spoyl'd our goods When we were _sparst_ abroad."
