_Cromwell's Estates_ (No. 18. p. 277.).--The seignory of Gower is the peninsula which runs out between the bays of Swansea and Carmarthen; and which terminates at Swansea on the S.E. side, and at Longhor on the N.W., and comprises the district which, in common with a part of Scotland, anciently bore the name of Rheged. It is a locality rich in all that can attract the antiquary and the naturalist. Mr. Dillwyn's _Contributions towards a History of Swansea_ contains the following references to the Gower property of Cromwell:--"We are informed by the Minute-book of the Common Hall" (at Swansea), "that on May 19, 1648, there came to this towne the truly Honourable Oliver Cromwell, Esq.... Lord of this towne, the Seignory of Gower, and Manor of Killay, with the members thereof," &c. "On May 5. 1647, Parliament settled the estates of the Marquis of Worcester, in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, on Cromwell; and, by a subsequent order, the estate in Glamorganshire was added to this grant. The conveyance from Parliament to Cromwell is made, not only in the name of his Majesty, but has a portrait of Charles the First at its head." SELEUCUS. _Genealogy of European Sovereigns_ (No. 6. p. 92.)--The best and most comprehensive work on this subject bears the following title:--_Johann Hübner's genealogische Tabellen_, 4 vols. folio, oblong, Leipzig, 1737 et seq. (Of the 3rd vol. a new and much improved edition, by G.F. Krebel, appeared in 1766.) Supplement: _Tafeln zu J. Hübner's genealogischen Tabellen_, by Sophia Queen of Denmark, 6 parts, folio, oblong, Copenhagen, 1822-24. A. Asher. Berlin. _Shipster_ (No. 14. p. 216.).--Are not _Baxter_ and _Tupster_ the feminines of _Baker_ and _Tapper_?--and may not _Shipster_ signify a _female ship-owner_? F.C.B. _Kentish Ballad_ (No. 16. p. 247.).--The song beginning "When Harold was invaded" has long been a favourite in this county. It is entitled "The Man of Kent," and was composed by Tom Durfey, in the time of Charles the Second. It may be found, with the music, in Chappell's _Collection of English Airs_. He cites it as being in _Pills to purge Melancholy, with Music_, 1719, and states that in the _Essex Champion, or famous History of Sir Billy of Billericay and his Squire Ricardo_, 1690, the song of "The Man of Kent" is mentioned. I have none of these works at hand for immediate reference, but the above note contains all that I have been able to collect on the subject of our popular ballad. There is another song, much to the same purport, beginning-- "When as the Duke of Normandy, With glistening spear and shield," in Evans's _Songs_, vol. ii. p. 33, printed by him from _The Garland of Delight_, by Delone, in the Pepys collection at Cambridge--a black-letter volume; and probably the song was by himself.
