_Abbot Eustacius and Angodus de Lindsei._--Can any of your learned readers inform me in what reign an Abbot _Eustacius_ flourished? He is witness to a charter of Ricardus de Lindsei, on his granting twelve denarii to St. Mary of _Greenfeld_, in Lincolnshire: there being no date, I am anxious to ascertain its antiquity. He is there designated "_Eustacius Abbe Flamoei_." Also witnessed by Willo' decano de Hoggestap, Roberto de Wells, Eudene de Bavent, Radulpho de Neuilla, &c. The latter appears in the Doomsday Book. The charter is to be found among Ascough's Col., B. M. I should also be glad to know whether the Christian name _Angodus_ be German, Norman, or Saxon. Angodus de Lindsei grants a carrucate of land in Hedreshille to St. Albans, in the time of the Conqueror. If this person assumed the name of _Lindsei_ previous to the Doomsday inquisition, ought not his name to have appeared in the Doomsday Book,--he who could afford to make a grant of 100 acres of land to the Abbey of St. Albans? J. L. _Oration against Demosthenes._--Mr. Harris of Alexandria made a discovery, some years ago, of a fragment of an oration against Demosthenes. Can you, or any of your kind correspondents, favour me with an account of it? I cannot recall the particulars of the discovery, but I believe the oration, with a _fac-simile_, was privately printed. KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE. _Pun._--C. H. KENYON (Vol. iii., p. 37.) asks if Milton could have seriously perpetrated the pun "each tome a tomb." I doubt whether he intended it for a pun. But his Query induces me to put another. Whence and when did the aversion to, and contempt for, a pun arise? Is it an offshoot from the Reformation? Our Catholic fellow-countrymen surely felt no such aversion; for the claim which they make of supremacy for {142} their church is based upon a pun, and that a very sorry one. A. R. _Sonnet (query by Milton?)_ (Vol. iii., p. 37.).--May I inquire from your correspondent whether he possesses the book, _A Collection of Recente and Witty Pieces by Several Eminente Hands_, London, 1628, from which this sonnet is stated to be extracted. The lines look suspiciously modern, and I should, before making any further observations upon them, be glad to be assured of their authenticity through the medium of your pages. JAS. CROSSLEY.
