_Steele's Burial-place_ (Vol. ii., pp. 375, 441.).--I have been able to get the following particulars respecting Steele's burial-place. Steele was buried in the chancel of St. Peter's church, Caermarthen. The entry stands thus in the Register:-- "1729. "Sep. 4. Sr Richard Steel." There is no monument to his memory in St. Peter's Church; but in Llangunnor church, about two miles from Caermarthen, there is a plain monumental tablet with the following inscription:-- "This stone was erected at the instance of William Williams, of Ivy Tower, owner of Penddaylwn Vawr, in Llangunnor; part of the estate there once belonging to the deservedly celebrated Sir Richard Steele, knight, chief author of the essays named Tatlers, Guardians, and Spectators; and he wrote The Christian Hero, The Englishman, and The Crisis, The Conscious Lovers, and other fine plays. He represented several places in parliament; was a staunch and able patriot; finally, an incomparable writer on morality and Christianity. Hence the ensuing lines in a poem, called The Head of the Rock:-- 'Behold Llangunnor, leering o'er the vale, Pourtrays a scene t' adorn romantic tale; But more than all the beauties of its site, Its former owner gives the mind delight. Is there a heart that can't affection feel For lands so rich as once to boast a Steele? Who warm for freedom, and with virtue fraught, His country dearly lov'd, and greatly taught; Whose morals pure, the purest style conveys, T' instruct his Britain to the last of days.'" Steele resided at White House (Ty Gwyn, as it is called in Welsh), a clean farm-house half way between Caermarthen and Llangunnor church, which is situate on a hill commanding extensive views of one of the prettiest values in Wales. A field near the house is pointed out as the site of Steele's garden, in the bower of which he is said to have written his "Conscious Lovers." The Ivy Bush, formerly a private house, and said to be the house where Steele died, is now the principal inn in Caermarthen. WM. SPURRELL. Caermarthen. _Cure for Warts_ (Vol. i., p. 482.)-- In Buckinghamshire I have heard of the charming away of warts by touching each wart with a separate green pea. Each pea being wrapped in paper by itself, and buried, the wart will vanish as the pea decays. J.W.H. _Etymology of "Parse"_ (Vol. ii., p. 118.).--Surely _to parse_ is to take by itself each _pars_, or part of speech. The word does not seem to have been known in 1611 when Brinsley published his _Posing of the Parts: or, a most plain and easie Way of examining the Accidence and Grammar_. This work appears to have been very popular, as I have by me the _twelfth_ edition, London, 1669. In 1612, the same author issued his _Ludus Literarius: or the Grammar Schoole_. Both these works interest me in him. Can any of your readers communicate any particulars of his history? J.W.H. * * * * * MISCELLANEOUS.
