_Querela Cantabrigiensis_ (Vol. ii, p. 168.).--Dr. Peter Barwick, in the life of his brother, Dr. Jno. Barwick (Eng. Edit. Lond. 1724, 8vo.), after describing the treatment of the University by Cromwell, adds (p. 32.) "But Mr. Barwick, no inconsiderable part of this tragedy, together with others of the University, groaning under the same yoke of tyranny, and each taking a particular account of the sufferings of his own college, gave a distinct narrative of all these barbarities, and under the title of _Querela Cantabrigiensis_, or the _University of Cambridge's Complaint_, got it printed by the care of Mr. R---- B----, bookseller of _London_ who did great service to his King and country, by printing, and dispersing in the most difficult times, books written in defence of the royal cause." See also _Biog. Brit._, article "Barwick". John I. Dredge. _Ben Johnson_ (Vol. ii., p. 167.)--So the name was spelt by most of his contemporaries. The poem mentioned by N.A.B. is printed in the _Underwoods_, Gifford's edition, ix., 68; but the MS. may contain variations worthy of notice. I should doubt its being autograph, not merely because the poet spelt his name without the _h_, but because the verses in question are only part of his _Eupheme_. J.O. Halliwell. _Barclay's "Argenis"._--Since I sent you a Query on this subject, I have heard of _one_ translation, by Miss Clara Reeve, the authoress of _The Old English Baron_ and other works. She commenced her literary career, I believe, by a translation of this work, which she published in 1772, under the title of _The Phoenix_. Jarltzberg. _Hockey_ (Vol. i., p. 457.).--I have not observed that this has been yet noticed: if such be the case, permit me to refer to a letter of the poet Cowper, dated 5th Nov., 1785 (5th vol. _Works_, edit. by Southey, p. 174.) in which, alluding to that day, he says, "The boys at Olney have likewise a very entertaining sport which commences annually upon this day; they call it _hockey_, and it consists in dashing each other with mud, and the windows also, so that I am forced to rise now and then and to threaten them with a horsewhip, to preserve our own." F.R.A. _Praed's Poetical Works_ (Vol. ii., p. 190.).--Your Cambridge correspondent, Mr. Cooper, will be glad to know that Praed's _poems_ are published in a collected form; _Poetical Works of Winthrop Mackworth Praed, now first collected by Rufus W. Griswold; New York_, 1844. This collection contains some thirty-six pieces. The longest poems, "Lillian" and "The Troubadour," each in two cantos, display passages of great beauty and exquisite musical flow. Among the charades, five in number, "Sir Harry, he charged at Agincourt", is not to be found. W.M. Kingsmill. * * * * * {239} MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
