_Viaggi di Enrico Wanton._--A fiction, upon the same plan as _Gulliver's Travels_, describing the visit of two Europeans to communities of monkeys and cynocephali, and written by a Venetian named Zaccaria Seriman, was printed at Venice in 1749, and again in 1764. A third citation, with the title-page _Delli Viaggi de Enrico Wanton alle Terre Australi, nuova Edizione_, was printed in London in 1772, "presso Tommaso Brewman Stampatore in Wych Street, Temple Bar," in 4 vols. 8vo. This edition is dedicated to George III. by "L'umilissimo e fedelissimo suddito, Enrico Wanton." Can any of your correspondents explain how this work {278} (which is of no great literary merit) came to be reprinted in England, and dedicated to the king? A notice of Seriman's life may be found in the _Biographie Universelle_. L. _Gloucester Alarm._--In the archives of Lyme Regis is this entry: "_Town Accompt Book._ "1661. For the four soldiers and drummers for service on the Gloucester alarm and candles, 10s. 0d." What was the "Gloucester alarm?" G. R. _Where is Criston, County Somerset?_--Mr. Vaughan, a young man who was to have joined the Duke of Monmouth, was of that house or place. G. R. "_There was a Maid of Westmoreland._"--"Some fifty summers past," I was in the habit of hearing sung a simple ballad, which commenced-- "There was a maid of Westmoreland, Who built her house upon the sand:" and the conclusion of which was, that, however desolate and exposed a situation that might be for her dwelling, it was better than in "the haunts of men." This was said to have been written by the late Mr. Thomas Sheridan. I never heard by whom the music to it, which was very pretty, was composed; nor whether or not it was published. Can any of your correspondents supply the words of this old ballad, and state the name of the composer of the music to it? Also whether it was published, and, if so, by whom? E. H. _Anthony Bridges._--In the Hampshire Visitation of 1622, Harl. MS. 1544. fo. 25., appears the marriage of Barbara, second daughter of Sir Richard Pexsall, of Beaurepaire, in co. Southampton, by Ellinor his wife, daughter of William Pawlett, Marquis of Winchester, to "Anthony Bridges." That Sir Richard Pexsall died in 1571, is the only clue I have to the date of the match. Query, Who was this Anthony Bridges, and did he leave issue?
