Is it possible that this is the identical Anthony, third surviving son of Sir John Bridges, first Baron Chandos of Sudeley, respecting whose fate there is so much uncertainty? He is presumed to have married a daughter of Fortescue of Essex, but the collateral evidence on which the supposition is founded is too slight to be satisfactory. Little is known but that he was born before 1532; that he was living in 1584 (in which year he was presented to the living of Meysey Hampton in Gloucestershire, the county in which he resided); and that he had a son Robert, upon a presumed descent from whom the late Sir Egerton Brydges founded his well-known claim to the barony of Chandos of Sudeley. O. C. _Barlaam and Josaphat_ (Vol. iii., p. 135.).--I was much interested in MR. STEPHENS' remarks on the Rev. W. Adams's beautiful allegory, and would be glad to know from him, or some other of your learned correspondents, _what English translations there are_ of this "spiritual romance in Greek;" where I may find an account or notice of the work, or get a copy of it. JARLTZBERG. "_Stick at Nothing._"--The expression "stop at nothing" occurs in the following couplet in Dryden's _Aurengzebe_: "The world is made for the bold impious man, Who _stops at nothing_, seizes all he can." And Pope, in one of his letters, has the expression "stick at nothing," where he says: "The three chief qualifications of party-writers are, to _stick at nothing_, to delight in flinging dirt, and to slander in the dark by guess." Can any of your correspondents explain the origin of the word "stick" in the sense in which it is used by Pope; and how it came to supplant altogether the more intelligible word "stop," as employed by Dryden? HENRY H. BREEN. St. Lucia, January, 1851. "_Ejusdem Farinae._"--Your readers are acquainted with the expression "ejusdem farinae," and the derogatory sense in which it is employed to describe things or characters of the same calibre. It was in common use among clerical disputants after the Reformation; and Leland has it in the following remarks respecting certain fabulous interpolations in the _Black Book_ at Cambridge: "Centum sunt ibi, praeterea, ejusdem farinae fabulae." I have no doubt, however, that the origin of the expression may be traced to the scholastic doctors and casuists of the Middle Ages. Will any of your correspondents be good enough to explain the circumstances which gave rise to the adoption of "farina" as a term expressive of baseness and disparagement? HENRY H. BREEN. St. Lucia, January, 1851. _Batail._--Favine, in his _Theatre of Honour_ (b. ii. c. 13), in speaking of a bell at Menda, says of the clapper of a bell, that "it is a _Bataill_ in Armes." Was this word ever introduced into English heraldry? The only instances of bells in English arms that I can discover in the books to which I have access at present are in the coats of Bell, Porter, Osney, and Richbell. H. N. E.
