_Green Eyes_ (Vol. viii., p. 407.; Vol. ix., p. 112.).--Antoine Heroet, an early French poet, in the third book of his _Opuscules d'Amour_, has the following lines: "Amour n'est pas enchanteur si divers Que les yeux noirs face devenir _verds_, Qu'un brun obscur en blancheur clere tourne, Ou qu'un traict gros du vissage destourne." (Love is not so strange an enchanter that he can make black eyes become green, that he can turn a dark brown into clear whiteness, or that he can change a coarse feature of the face.) UNEDA. Philadelphia. _Brydone the Tourist_ (Vol. ix., pp. 138. 255. 305.).-- "On lui a reproche d'avoir sacrifie la verite au plaisir de raconter des choses piquantes." In a work (I think) entitled _A Tour in Sicily_, the production of Captain Monson, uncle to the late Lord Monson, published about thirty years ago, I remember to have read a denial and, as far as I can remember, a refutation of a statement of Brydone, that he had seen a pyramid in the gardens or grounds of some dignitary in Sicily, composed of--chamber-pots! I was, when I read Mr. Monson's book (a work of some pretensions as it appeared to me), a youngster newly returned from foreign travel, and in daily intercourse with gentlemen of riper age than myself, and of attainments as travellers and otherwise which I could not pretend to; many of them were Italians, and I perfectly remember that by all, but especially by the latter, Brydone's book was treated as a book of apocrypha. TRAVELLER. _Descendants of John of Gaunt, Noses of_ (Vol. vii., p. 96.).--Allow me to repeat my Query as to E. D.'s remark: he says, to be dark-complexioned and black-haired "is the family badge of the Herberts quite as much as the unmistakeable nose in the descendants of John of Gaunt." I hope E. D. will not continue silent, for I am very curious to know his meaning. Y. S. M. _"Put"_ (Vol. vii., p. 271.).--I am surprised at the silence of your Irish readers in reference to the pronunciation of this word. I certainly never yet heard it pronounced like "but" amongst educated men in Ireland, and I am both a native of this country and resident here the greater part of my life. The Prince Consort's name I have {433} occasionally heard, both in England and Ireland, pronounced as if the first letter was an O--"Olbert"--and that by people who ought to know better. Y. S. M. _"Caricature; a Canterbury Tale"_ (Vol. ix., p. 351.).--The inquiry of H. as to the meaning of a "Caricature," which he describes (though I doubt if he be correct as to all the personages), appears to me to point to a transaction in the history of the celebrated "Coalition Ministry" of Lord North and Fox; in which--
