Days of my youth! ye have glided away, Hairs of my youth! ye are frosted and gray; Eyes of my youth! your keen sight is no more; Cheeks of my youth! ye are furrow'd all o'er; Strength of my youth! all your vigour is gone; Thoughts of my youth! all your visions are flown! Days of my youth! I wish not your recall, Hairs of my youth! I'm content you should fall; Eyes of my youth! ye much evil have seen; Cheeks of my youth! bathed in tears have you been; Thoughts of my youth! ye have led me astray; Strength of my youth! why lament your decay! Days of my age! ye will shortly be past; Pains of my age! yet awhile can ye last; Joys of my age! in true wisdom delight; Eyes of my age! be religion your light; Thoughts of my age! dread not the cold sod, Hopes of my age! be ye fix'd on your God!--ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Judge. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Randall Minshull and his Cheshire Collections._--Of what family was Randall Minshull, who, in the Addenda to Gower's _Sketch for a History of_ {468} _Cheshire_, p. 94., is stated to have professedly made a collection for the _Antiquities of Cheshire_ by the desire of Lord Malpas? and where is such collection at the present time to met with? CESTRIENSIS. _Mackey's "Theory of the Earth."_--I have a small pamphlet entitled, "A New Theory of the Earth and of Planetary Motion; in which it is demonstrated that the Sun is Vicegerent of his own System. By Sampson Arnold Mackey, author of _Mythological Astronomy_ and _Urania's Key to the Revelations, &c._ Norwich, printed for the Author." There is no date on the title-page, but a notice on the second page indicates 1825. The book is extraordinary, and shows great astronomical and philological attainments, with some startling facts in geology, and bold theories as to the formation of the earth. I have endeavoured to procure the other two works of which Mr. Mackey is said to be the author, and also some account of him, but without success. I can hardly suppose that a writer of so much ability and learning can be unknown, and shall feel much obliged by any information as to him or his writings. J. WARD. Coventry. _Birthplace of King Edward V._--Can you give me any information as to the exact birthplace of this monarch? Hume (vol. ii. p. 430.) merely says that he was born while his mother was in sanctuary in London, and his father was a fugitive from the victorious Earl of Warwick. Commynes (book iii. chap. 5.) also says that she took refuge "es franchises qui sont a Londres," and "y accoucha d'ung filz en grant povrete." Chastellain, at p. 486. of his _Chronique_, says: "Elle alla a Saincte-Catherine, une abbeye, disoient aucuns: aucuns autres disoient a Vasemonstre (Westminster), lieu de franchise, qui oncques n'avoit este corrompu." I should be glad to have some more definite information on this point, if any of your readers can supply it. A LEGULEIAN.
