_Armorial._--Will any correspondent oblige me with the names to the following coats: 1. Arg., three hares (or conies) gu. 2. Arg., on a bend engrailed vert, between two bucks' heads cabossed sable, attired or, three besants; a canton erminois. 3. Quarterly, per fesse indented sable and or. 4. Per pale sable and or, a cheveron between three escallop shells, all counterchanged. 5. Gu., a lion rampant arg. Glover's _Ordinary of Arms_ would, I think, answer the above Query; and if any of your _numerous_ readers, who possess that valuable work, would refer to it in this case, they would be conferring a favour on your constant subscriber, CID. Would any correspondent help me to the solution of the following case?--A. was the _last_ and _only_ representative of an ancient family; he left at his decease, some years ago, a daughter and heiress who married B. Can the issue of B. (having no arms of their own) _legally_ use the arms, quarterings, crest, and motto of A., without a license from the Heralds' College? CID. _Lord Brougham and Horne Tooke._--In Lord Brougham's _Statesmen of the Time of George III._, he says of Mr. Horne Tooke: "Thus he (H. T.) would hold that the law of libel was unjust and absurd, because _libel_ means a little book." Can any of the readers of "N. & Q." say on what occasion Tooke maintained this strange doctrine, or where his Lordship obtained his information that Tooke did maintain it? Q. Bloomsbury. _Rileys of Forest Hill._--Can any of your correspondents inform me relative to the arms and motto of the Rileys of (Forest Hill) Windsor, Berks, their descent, &c.? J. M. R. _Fish "Lavidian."_--In some ancient acts of parliament mention is made of a fish called "lavidian," and from the regulations made concerning it, it appears to have been of such small size as to be capable of being caught in the meshes of an ordinary net. But I cannot find that this name is contained in any of the books of natural history, written by such authors as Gesner or Rondeletius. Is it at this time a common name anywhere? Or can any of your readers assist in determining the species? J. C. "_Poeta nascitur, non fit._"--Can any of your correspondents inform me who is the author of the well-known saying-- "Poeta nascitur, non fit"? I have more than once seen it quoted as from Horace, but I have never been able to find it in any classical author whose works I have examined. Cicero expresses a similar sentiment in his oration for the poet Archias, cap. viii.: "Atqui sic a summis hominibus eruditissimisque accepimus, ceterarum rerum studia, et doctrina, et praeceptis, et arte constare: poetam natura ipsa valere, et mentis viribus excitari, et quasi divino quodam spiritu inflari." J. P. Boston, U.S.A. {399}
