_Webb of Monckton Farleigh._--Perhaps some reader of "N. & Q." would be so
good as to inform me what were the arms, crest, and motto of the Webbs of
Monckton Farleigh, co. Wilts; also, if there be any pedigree of them
extant, and where it is to be found; or otherwise would direct me what
would be my best means to ascertain some account of that family, who are
now represented by the Duke of Somerset?
HENRI.
Dublin.
_Translation Wanted._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where I may
meet with a translation by the Rev. F. Hodgson, late Provost of Eton, &c.,
of the _Atys_ of Catllus?
P. J. F. GANTILLON, B.A.
_Latin Translation from Sheridan, &c._--My treacherous memory retains one
line only of each of two translations into Latin verse, admirably done, of
two well-known pieces of English poetry. The first from a song by Sheridan,
of the lines:
"Nor can I believe it then,
Till it gently press again."
"Conscia ni dextram dextera pressa premat."
The second:
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long."
is thus rendered:
"Poscimus in terris pauca, nec illa diù."
If in the circle of your correspondents the complete translations can be
furnished, you will by their insertion, gratify other lovers of modern
Latin poetry besides
BALLIOLENSIS.
_Gale of Rent._--I can imagine what is meant by a _gale of rent_, and be
thankful I have not to pay one. But what is the origin of the term _gale_
as thus applied?
Y. B. N. J.
_Arms of Sir Richard de Loges._--What were the arms borne by Sir Richard de
Loges, or Lodge, of Chesterton, in the county of Warwick, temp. Henry IV.?
LN.
_Gentile Names of the Jews._--Are the Jews known to each other by their
Gentile names of Rothschild, Montefiore, Davis, &c.? or are these only
their _nommes de guerre_, assumed and abandoned at will on change of
country?
G. E. T. S. R. N.
_Henry, Earl of Wotton_ (Vol. viii., pp. 173. 281.).--The editors of the
_Navorscher_ express their thanks to BROCTUNA for his reply to their Query,
but hope he will kindly increase their debt of gratitude by elucidating
three points which seem to them obscure:
1. Which Lord Stanhope died childless? Not Henry, Lord Stanhope, for he
(see p. 281.) left a son and two daughters; nor yet Philip, for his widow
had borne him daughters. Or have we wrongly understood the letters _s. p._
to signify _sine prole_?
2. Was it the Earl of Chesterfield, half-brother of Charles Henry van den
Kerckhove, or Charles {564} Stanhope his nephew, who took the name of
Wotton?
3. Knight's _National Cyclopædia of Useful Knowledge_ (vol. xi. p. 374.)
names James Stanhope, Earl Stanhope, the eldest son of the Hon. Alexander
Stanhope, second son of Philip Stanhope, first Earl of Chesterfield. Had
the latter then, besides the above-named (see p. 281.) Henry, Lord
Stanhope, also other sons?
