"For the King's Arms at large, with ornaments thereto, designed for the pediment of the said front, the same being in the whole 15 foot long and 9 foot high, I finding timber, &c. 73 15 0 --------- L103 15 0" Extracted from Rawlinson MS. A. 170, fol. 132. J. YEOWELL. _The Aliases and Initials of Authors._--It has often occurred to me that it would save much useless inquiry and research, if a tolerable list could be collected of the principal authors who have published their works under assumed names or initials: thus, "R. B. Robert Burton," _Nathaniel Crouch_, "R. F. Scoto-Britannicus," _Robert Fairley_, &c. The commencement of a new volume of {125} "N. & Q." affords an excellent opportunity for attempting this. If the correspondents of "N. & Q." would contribute their mites occasionally with this view, by the conclusion of the volume, I have little doubt but a very valuable list might be obtained. For the sake of reference, the whole contributions obtained could then be amalgamated, and alphabetically arranged. PERTHENSIS. _Pure._--In visiting an old blind woman the other day, I was struck with what to me was a peculiar use of the word _pure_. Having inquired after the dame's health, and been assured that she was much better, I begged her not to rise from the bed on which she was sitting, whereupon she said, "Thank you, Sir, I feel quite _pure_ this morning." OXONIENSIS. Oakridge, Gloucestershire. _Darling's "Cyclopaedia Bibliographica._"--The utility of Mr. Darling's _Cyclopaedia Bibliographica_ is exemplified by the solution conveyed under the title "Crellius," p. 813, of the following difficulty expressed by Dr. Hey, the Norrisian professor (_Lectures_, vol. iii. p. 40.): "Paul Crellius and John Maclaurin seem to have been of the same way of thinking with John Agricola. Nicholls, on this Article [Eighth of the Thirty-nine Articles], refers to Paul Crellius's book _De Libertate Christiana_, but I do not find it anywhere. A speech of his is in the _Bodleian Dialogue_, but not this work." Similar information might have been received by your correspondent (Vol. vii., p. 381.), who inquired whether Huet's _Navigations of Solomon_ was ever published. In the Cyclopaedia reference is made to two collections in which this treatise has been inserted, _Crit. Sac_., viii.; _Ugolinus_, vii. 277. With his usual accuracy, Mr. Darling states there are additions in the _Critici Sacri_ printed at Amsterdam, 1698-1732, as Huet's treatise above referred to is not in the first edition, London, 1660.

I am extremely desirous of obtaining some information respecting the Dutch manufactories of enamelled pottery, or Delft ware, as we call it.
