The position of Hartman, and his apparent familiarity with Major Howard,
seem to take him out of the herd of writers on Waterloo; but I cannot
learn who he was, or what he wrote. Can any of your readers tell me? The
note may have been made in mere wantonness, but it looks genuine.

_Henry Chicheley, Archbishop of Canterbury._--When was Henry Chicheley,
Archbishop of Canterbury, born; who, Camden tells us, was the "greatest
ornament" of Higham Ferrers? I have seen his birth somewhere stated to
have taken place in the year 1360; but no day or month was given. I
should also be glad to know to what extent he was a contributor towards
the restoration of Croydon Church, the tower and porch of which bear his
arms?
R. W. ELLIOT.
_Translation of Athenæus._--I find, in the _Classical Journal_, xxxviii.
11., published in 1828, that an English translation of Athenæus had been
completed before his death by R. Fenton, Esq., F.R.S., author of the
_History of Pembrokeshire_. The writer farther says: "We have reason to
believe that the MS. is now in possession of his son, the Rev. S. Fenton,
Vicar of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire." Has this version, or any part of
it, ever been published?
P. J. F. GANTILLON, B.A.
_Passages from Euripides._--Rogers translates two fine passages from
Euripides:
"There is a streamlet issuing from a rock," &c.
and
"Dear is that valley to the murmuring bees," &c.
Where is the original Greek to be found?
F.
_Anderson's Royal Genealogies._--Is there any memoir or biographical
account extant of James Anderson, D.D., the learned compiler of that most
excellent and valuable work bearing the above title, and published in
London, 1732, fol.?

Minor Queries with Answers.
_Louis le Hutin._--When or for what reason was the _sobriquet_ "Hutin"
attached to Louis X. of France? And what is the meaning of "Hutin?"
F. S. A.
[_Hutin_ is defined by Roquefort, _brusque_, _emporté_, _querelleur_,
from the Low Latin _Hutinus_; and in illustrating the word he furnishes
the following reply to our correspondent's Query: "Mezerai rapporte que
Louis X. fut surnommé _Hutin_, parceque, dès son enfance, il aimait à
quereller et à se battre, et que ce surnom fut lui donné par allusion
à un petit maillet dont se servent les tonneliers, appelé _hutinet_,
parce-qu'il fait beaucoup de bruit."]
