_Edward Brerewood._--Is there any authenticated portrait extant of this learned mathematician? He was the first Gresham Professor of Astronomy at the University of Oxford, and the {174} author of several important philosophical works; one of which, on the _Diversity of Language_, has been more than once reprinted. Possibly at Oxford, his _alma mater_, a portrait of him may be in existence; and I dare say some resident member of that University will kindly endeavour to ascertain the fact. T. HUGHES. Chester. _Elizabeth Seymour._--I have lately met with a pedigree in which it is stated that Sir Joseph Tredenham (I presume of Cornwall or Devonshire) married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, first baronet of the present Duke of Somerset's line, by his wife Elizabeth Champernown; but another pedigree gives this Elizabeth to George Cary of Cockington, co. Devon, Esq. Which is correct? Or did the said Elizabeth marry twice? and, in that case, which was the first husband? PATONCE. _Longfellow._--Could you inform me whether the name "Longfellow" may still be traced in any parts of England? It is the belief of that distinguished American poet that his name still exists in some of the south-western counties; and it would be an additional gratification to him that his hopes were confirmed by testimony. OXONIENSIS. _Fresick and Freswick._--In the map of the kingdom of Scotland, occurring in the _Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine_, by John Speed, 1614, pp. 131-2., on the north-east point of Scotland a place is noted as _Fresick_ East, in the present maps _Freswick_. Is _Fresick_ a contracted form of _Freswick_? and if so, has it some reference to a settlement of the Frisians (anciently Fresians) on this coast? The village Freswick, on the borders of the Lek, and another Freswick in the neighbourhood of Deventus, both in the Netherlands, near the Frisians, are supposed to owe their names to a settlement or refuge of those first parents of the Anglo-Saxons.
