"Fac precor, Jesu benigne, cogitem Hæc semper, ut semper tibi Summoque Patri, gratias Agam, pieque vos colam, Totâque mente diligam." Can any of your readers inform me where they come from? WILLIAM DENTON. _The Arms of De Sissonne._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where I could find a copy of _Histoire Généalogique de la Maison Royale de France_, or any other work in which are blazoned the arms of "De Sissonne" of Normandy, connected with that regal house? J. L. S. _Sir George Brown._--Sir George Brown, of West Stafford, Berks, and of Wickham Breaux, Kent, married Eleanor, daughter of Sir R. Blount, of Maple Durham, Oxon; and by her had issue several children, and amongst them one son Richard, who was a child under five years of age in 1623. I shall feel obliged if any of your correspondents can tell me where I can find a pedigree of this Richard, and in particular whether he married, {244} whom he married, and the names of his several children, if any. NEWBURIENSIS. _Professional Poems._--Can you tell me who is the author of _Professional Poems by a Professional Gentleman_, 12mo., 1827, published at Wolverhampton; and by Longman, London? GW. _"A mockery," &c._--Whence is the quotation, "A mockery, a delusion, and a snare?" W. P. _Passage in Whiston._--In _Taylor on Original Sin_, Lond. 1746, p. 94., it is said: "Mr. Whiston maintains that regeneration is a literal and physical _being born again_, and is granted to the faithful at the beginning of the millennium." The marginal reference is, _Whiston on Original Sin, &c._, p. 68. I cannot find the book or the doctrine in any collection of Whiston's writings which I have met with; but as he was a copious writer and a versatile theologian, both may exist. Can any reader of "N. & Q." tell me where to find them? J. T. _Shoulder Knots and Epaulettes._--What is the origin of the shoulder knot, and its ancient use? Has it and the epaulette a common origin?
