For some time I was at a loss for another instance; however, I have just received from a friend, who took interest in the subject, a sketch of something almost identical from the disused chapel at Chillon in the Canton Vaud. Of this I have not the measurements, but it stands about breast-high. It is there called a "prie-dieu," and is said to have belonged to the Dukes of Savoy, but the size is very unusual for such a use. I send sketches of each of the subjects of my Query, {102} and hope that, if this should be thought worthy of a place in "N. & Q.," some one will be able and willing to afford some information about them. I would add as a farther Query, the question of the meaning of the battle-axe and pansy, which appear on the "prie-dieu" at Chillon. Is it a known badge of the Savoy family? R. H. C. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Reynolds' Nephew._--In the Correspondence of David Garrick, vol. i. pp. 664. 658., 4to., 1831, there are letters of Sir Joshua Reynolds regarding a play written by his nephew. Can you tell me whether this was the Rev. Mr. Palmer, minister of the Temple Church, and who was afterwards Dean of Gashel; or had Sir Joshua any other nephew? The letters are dated 1774, and the author appears to have been resident in London about that time. A. Z. _Sir Isaac Newton._--Which is the passage in Newton's _Optics_ to which Flamsteed refers, in his account of the altercation between them, as having given occasion to some of the enemies of the former to tax him with Atheism? and is there any evidence, besides what this passage may afford, in favour of Dr. Johnson's assertion, that Newton _set out_ as an infidel? (Boswell, July 28, 1763.) The _Optics_ were not published till 1704, but had been composed many years previously. J. S. WARDEN. _Limerick, Dublin, and Cork._--Can any of your Irish or other correspondents inform me to whom we are indebted for the lines-- "Limerick was, Dublin is, and Cork shall be, The finest city of the three"? Also, in what respect Limerick was formerly superior to Dublin? N. Dublin. _Praying to the West._--A friend of mine told me that a Highland woman in Strathconan, wishing to say that her mother-in-law prayed for my friend daily, said: "She holds up her hands to the _West_ for you every day." If to the _East_ it would have been more intelligible; but why to the West? L. M. M. R. _Mulciber._--Who was Mulciber, immortalised (!) in Garth's _Dispensary_ (ed. 1699, p. 65.) as "the Mayor Bromicham?" My copy contains on the fly-leaf a MS. key to all the names save this. R. C.
