"But had you seen the philibegs, And skyrin tartan trews, man, When in the teeth they dared our Whigs, And Covenant TRUE-BLUES, man; In lines extended lang and large, When bayonets opposed the targe, And thousands hasten'd to the charge, Wi' Highland wrath, they frae the sheath Drew blades o' death, till, out o' breath, They fled like frighted doos, man." The song, which is rather a long one, carries you with the army to the Forth, Dumblane, Stirling, Perth, and Dundee. Oft referring to the "Poor red-coat," and to the "Angus lads." BLOWER. _The Vavasours of Hazlewood (Vol. ii., p. 326.)._--1. It is a well-known fact that the stone for York minster was given by the Vavasour family. To commemorate this, there is, under the west window in that cathedral, a statue of the owner of Hazelwood at that period, holding a piece of stone in his hand. Hence may have arisen the tradition that the chief of the family might ride into York minster on horseback. {72} 2. In feudal times Hazlewood was a fortified castle, having its regular retainers, &c. 3. Hazlewood Chapel was _the only Roman Catholic parish church_ in England which did not become a Protestant church at the Reformation. CHAS. D. MARKHAM. Jan. 10. 1851. _"Breeches" Bible_ (Vol. iii., p. 17.).--In quoting from specimens of early printing, correctness of orthography, even in trivial matters, is desirable, and therefore I venture, in allusion to the interesting communication from [Curly-pi] on the subject of the Geneva or "_Breeches_" Bible, to state that the edition of 1576, in my possession, is "Imprinted by _Christopher Barkar_" (not Barker), "dwelling in Paternoster Rowe, at the signe of the Tygres Head." The text quoted varies also in two or three words from my copy, and it is probably from the Geneva edition. The English edition of 1576 runs thus, (Gen. iii. 7.): "Then the eyes of them _both_ were opened, and they _knew_ that they were naked, and they sewed _figge_ tree _leaves_ together, and made them _selves_ breeches." I am, sir, yours truly, S.H.H. _Histoire des Sevarambes_ (Vol. iii., p. 4.).--On the subject of the authorship of this work I will transcribe a note which I subjoined to a short account of Isaac Vossius (Worthington's _Diary_, p. 125):-- "Whether the History of the Sevarites, of Sevarambi by Captains Thomas Liden, published in two parts (London, 1675-9, 12mo.), which is one of the ablest of the fictions written after the model of More's _Utopia_, and which has been ascribed to Isaac Vossius by J.A. Fabricius, be his, is a point yet unsettled. On a careful consideration of the internal evidence, and a comparison with his avowed publications, so far as such a comparison can be made between works so dissimilar in character, I incline to the conclusion that this tract is justly ascribed to Isaac Vossius."
