[The monument was commenced by the second Sir Thomas Eden in 1615, and contained, some years since, an inscription upon brass, a limbed picture, and upon the wall, beneath the canopy, a pedigree of the marriages of the family with those of Waldegrave, Peyton, Steward, Workington, Harrys, and St. Clere. The whole having fallen into ruin, it became necessary in 1851 to remove it. The brass being gone, the following inscription upon the verge of the canopy alone was visible: "This tombe was finished at y^e coste of Sir Thomas Eden, Knight, Maie 16, 1617." A large mural monument to the memory of several of the Eden family is about to be erected by its side. See the Rev. Charles Badham's _History and Antiquities of All Saints' Church, Sudbury_, pp. 44-46. and 162., London, 1852; who says that the pedigree upon the wall has been preserved, but does not state where it may be seen: it will, however, be found among the Harleian MSS. in the British Museum.] _The Gentleman's Calling._--Can any one tell me who was the author of this book? It was printed in London for T. Garthwait, at the little north doore of St. Pauls, 1660. JOHN SCRIBE. [This work is attributed to the uncertain author of _The Whole Duty of Man_, and is included among the collected works of that writer in the folio edition of {176} 1729. Compare "N. & Q.," Vol. vi., p. 537., with Vol. viii., p. 564.] _Obs and Sols._--Burton, in his _Anatomy of Melancholy_ ("Democritus to the Reader"), 6th edition, has the following passage: "Bale, Erasmus, Hospinian, Vives, Kemnisius, explode, as a vast ocean of _obs_ and _sols_, school divinity." What is the meaning of the terms _obs_ and _sols_? HENRY H. BREEN. St. Lucia. [This is a quaint abbreviation of the words _objectiones et solutiones_, being frequently so contracted in the margins of books of controversial divinity to mark the transitions from the one to the other. Hence Butler (_Hudibras_, III. ii. 1237.) has coined the name of _ob_ and _sollers_ for scholastic disputants: "But first, o' th' first: the Isle of Wight Will rise up, if you should deny't; Where Henderson, and the other masses, Were sent to cap texts and put cases: To pass for deep and learned scholars, Although but paltry _ob_ and _sollers_: As if th' unseasonable fools, Had been a coursing in the schools."] _Fystens or Fifteenths._--Can you inform me what is the meaning of the word "fystens." In looking over an old corporation chamber book some years ago I found the following entries, of which I made extracts:
