"Dies irae, dies illa, Solvet soeclum in favilla Teste David cum Sibylla." And in what book was it first printed? A copy of it is contained in a small tract in our library, entitled _Lyrica Sacra, excerpta ex Hymnis Ecclesiae Antiquis. Privatim excusa Romae_, 1818. At the end of the preface is subscribed "T. M. Anglus." And on the title page in MS., "For the Rev. Dr. Milner, Dean of Carlisle, Master of Queen's College, in the University of Cambridge, from T. J. Mathia--" the rest of the name has been cut off in binding; it was probably Mathias. As here given, it has only twenty-seven lines. The original hymn is, I believe, much longer. W. SPARROW SIMPSON. Queen's College, Cambridge. _Aubrey Family._--In Burke's _Peerage and Baronetage_, under the head "Aubrey," I find the following passage:-- "Vincent, Windsor Herald in the time of Elizabeth, compiled a pedigree of the family of Aubrey, which he commences thus:--'Saint Aubrey, of the blood royal of France, came into England with William the Conqueror, anno 1066, as the Chronicles of All Souls College testify, which are there to be seen tied to a chain of iron.'" Can any of your readers give me any information respecting this "Saint Aubrey," whose name I have not been able to find in the Roll of Battle {73} Abbey: or respecting his son, Sir Reginald Aubrey, who aided Bernard de Newmarch in the conquest of the Marches of Wales, and any of his descendants? PWCCA. _Ogden Family._--The writer is very desirous of information as to the past history of a family of the name of _Ogden_. Dr. Samuel Ogden, the author of a volume of sermons, published in 1760, was a member of it. A branch of the family emigrated to America about 1700, and still exists there. They yet bear in their crest allusion to a tradition, that one of their family hid Charles II. in an oak, when pursued by his enemies. What authority is there for this story? I shall be grateful for any indications of sources of information that may seem likely to aid my researches. TWYFORD. * * * * * Replies. SIR GEORGE BUC.
