_Officers of Charles I._ (Vol. ix., p. 74.).--SIR T. METCALFE mentions, as among the "curious stray sheets" in his possession, "a list of all the gentlemen and officers who fell in the cause of Charles I." As I have long wished to see a list of King Charles's officers, but have never, as yet, met with anything like a complete catalogue of those who fell, or of those who survived, it would be interesting to me, as I doubt not it would be interesting to many of your readers, to see this "curious stray sheet" transferred to the pages of "N. & Q." Can you refer me to any published, or otherwise accessible, list of the officers who fought _against_ Charles I., whether by sea or land? Is there any printed list of officers at the time of the Restoration? * * _D. O. M._ (Vol. iii., p. 173.; Vol. ix., p. 137.).--Would R. W. D. state his reasons for rendering these letters "Datur omnibus mori?" Such an inscription would of course be _à propos_ in the case of a tombstone; but the ordinary interpretation, "Deo Optimo Maximo," would likewise be fitting, and it is not probable that the same initials should have two distinct meanings. W. M. N. _Whitewashing in Churches_ (Vol. ix., p. 148.).--Mr. Hudson Turner informs us (_Domestic {287} Architecture in England_, vol. i. p. 246.) that as early as the thirteenth century the practice of the whitewashing buildings was universal; and that "the process, so vehemently denounced by modern antiquaries, was liberally applied also to ecclesiastical edifices." WILLIAM KELLY. Leicester. Mr. Hudson Turner says: "We are not to consider the practice of whitewashing stonework as a vice peculiar to modern times. Our ancestors had as great an objection to the natural surface of stone, whether in churches or other buildings, as any church wardens or bricklayers of the nineteenth century. Several writs of Henry III. are extant, directing the Norman Chapel in the Tower to be whitewashed. Westminster Hall was whitewashed for the coronation of Edward I.; and many other ancient examples might be cited. In fact it seems to have been the rule to plaster ordinary stonework."--_Domestic Architecture in England_, p. xxvi. A far earlier instance of the practice appears in Deuteronomy xxvii. 2. K's question, however, is scarcely answered by the above, as it cannot be supposed that delicate sculpture was clogged with whitewash until it became obnoxious on religious grounds. C. R. M.
