Thus, there is no difficulty about the meaning of _Hanaper_; and its connection with _treasure_ is plain and clear enough: and, with respect to _cups_, though chiefly used for drinking, the presentation of them with sums of money in them has ever been, and indeed is, so very customary, that it is needless to occupy space here with instances. But I cannot distinctly connect the _hanap_ of the exhibition with _hanaper_: and I perhaps ought to look in another direction for its true signification and etymology. ROBERT SNOW. [Our correspondents who have written upon the subject of Hanap are referred to Halliwell's _Archaic Dictionary_, where they will find "HANAP, a cup. _Test. Vet._ p. 99.;" to Ducange, s.v. "HANAPUS, HANAPPUS, HANAPHUS, vas, patera, crater, (Vas ansatum et pede instructum, quo a poculo distinguitur), ex Saxonico _Hnaep_, _Hnaeppa_, Germ. _Napf_, calix patera;" and to Guenebault, _Dict. Iconographique des Monuments_, who refers again for particulars of this species of drinking cup to the works of Soumerard and Willemin.] * * * * * _Life of W. Godwin._--"N.'s" inquiry (No. 26. p. 415.) for an account of the life of W. Godwin, and more particularly of his last hours, leads me to express hope in your columns that the memoirs of Godwin, which were announced for publication shortly after his death, but which family disputes, as I have understood, prevented from appearing, may not much longer be denied to the public. I am not aware of any better account of Godwin's life, to which "N." can now be referred, than the sketch in the _Penny Cyclopaedia_. CH. * * * * * _Charles II. and Lord R.'s Daughter.--Earl of Ranelagh._--Since I inquired in your columns (No. 25. p. 399.) who was the lady mentioned in a passage of Henry Sidney's _Diary_, edited by Mr. Blencowe, as Lord R.'s daughter, and a new mistress of Charles II., who in March 1680 brought Monmouth to the King for reconciliation, I have, by Mr. Blencowe's kindness, seen the original _Diary_, which is in the possession of the Earl of Chichester. The name of the nobleman is there abbreviated: the letters appear to be _Rane._, and it is probably Lord Ranelagh who is intended. I do not remember any other notice of this amour of Charles II., and should be glad to be referred to any other information on the subject. Charles II.'s mistresses are political characters; and in this notice of Lord R.'s daughter, we find her meddling in state affairs.
