Questions and answers -- Periodicals
_The fifth Lord Byron_ (Vol. viii., p. 2.).--I cannot but think that MR.
HASLEDEN'S memory has deceived him as to the "wicked lord" having {19}
settled his estates upon the marriage of his son; how is this to be
reconciled with the often published statement, that the marriage of his son
with his cousin Juliana, daughter of the admiral, and aunt of the late and
present lords, was made not only without the consent, but in spite of the
opposition, of the old lord, and that he never forgave his son in
consequence?
J. S. WARDEN.
_Burton Family_ (Vol. iv., pp. 22. 124.).--In connexion with a Query which
was kindly noticed by MR. ALGOR of Sheffield, who did not however
communicate anything new to me, I would ask who was Samuel Burton, Esq.,
formerly Sheriff of Derbyshire; whose death at Sevenoaks, in October, 1750,
I find recorded in the Obituary of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for that
year? I am also desirous to ascertain who was Sir Francis Cavendish Burton
of St. Helens, whose daughter and heiress, Martha, married Richard Sikes,
Esq., ancestor of the Sikes's of the Chauntry House near Newark. She died
since 1696. Both Samuel Burton and Mrs. Sikes were related to the Burtons
of Kilburn, in the parish of Horsley, near Derby, to whom my former Query
referred.

_Provost Hodgson's Translation of the Atys of Catullus_ (Vol. viii., p.
563.).--In answer to MR. GANTILLON'S inquiry for the above translation, I
beg to state that it will be found appended to an octavo edition of
Hodgson's poem of _Lady Jane Grey_.
In the same volume will be found, I believe (for I have not the work before
me), some of the modern Latin poetry respecting which BALLIOLENSIS
inquiries. The justly admired translation of _Edwin and Angelina_, to which
the latter refers, was by Hodgson's too early lost friend Lloyd. The
splendid pentameter is slightly misquoted by BALLIOLENSIS. It is not--
"Poscimus in _terris_ pauca, nec illa diu."
but--
"Poscimus in _vita_," &c.

_Wylcotes' Brass_ (Vol. viii., p. 494.).--I should hardly have supposed
that any difficulty could exist in explaining the inscription:
"In . on . is . all."
To me it appears self-evident that it must be--
"In one (God) is my all."
