Questions and answers -- Periodicals
_Harris, Painter in Water-Colours._--Some friends of mine have a large
paper copy of the edition of the Bible, published in 1802, by Messrs.
Nicoll, of Pall-Mall, and known as "Reeves' Bible," which is adorned with a
large number of small original drawings in water-colour by "J. Harris, of
Walworth, Surrey." I should be obliged if any of your correspondents can
give me any information respecting Mr. Harris, and can tell me whether he
is still living. The drawings were made before the year 1819.
T. C. W.
_University Hoods._--The Scotch universities of Aberdeen, St. Andrew's, and
Glasgow had, before the Reformation, or before the Revolution rather, hoods
for the several degrees of M.A., D.D., LL.D., and D.C.L. What these were,
is a question which it is now very difficult to determine; but this much is
known, that the hoods of Aberdeen were identical with those of Paris, those
of St. Andrew's with those of Louvain, and those of Glasgow with those of
Bologna. The Revolution, however, has done much to obliterate the traces of
even the Parisian hoods, and the M.A. hood of Paris is all that has
hitherto rewarded the researches of the university antiquary. Can any of
your readers assist in the somewhat interesting investigation by
endeavouring to discover, or informing us if they already know, what were
the hoods of the universities of Paris, Louvain, and Bologna, for the
several degrees I have enumerated.
G. A. J.
_"Nullis Fraus tuta latebris."_--Can any of your correspondents favour me
with a reference to the above motto?
S. S.
_Voltaire, where situated?_--The "_terre_," hamlet, or other _property_ of
_Voltaire_, from which the French poet took the addition to his paternal
name of Arouet,--where situated? That there is, or at least was, in
Voltaire's time, such an estate, Condorcet's statement (_vide_ Voltaire)
makes apparent. But the locality is not pointed out. Can any of your
correspondents help me to it?
V.
_Table of Prohibited Degrees, 1563._--By the 99th canon of the Church of
England the "table of prohibited degrees" set forth by authority in 1563 is
ordered to "be in every church publicly set up and fixed at the charge of
the parish." Is this usually done now? and if not, why is it omitted to be
done?
What is the authority for the insertion of the Canons, or the Articles, or
the table of the {330} prohibited degrees found in the Book of Common
Prayer?
J. O. M.
_Launcelot Lyttleton._--I shall be greatly obliged to any genealogist who
can tell me who was that Launcelot Lyttleton, a Lichfield gentleman, whose
eldest laughter, Mary, married the Hon. Francis Roper, and became the
mother of the fourteenth Lord Teynham. Was this Launcelot a descendant of
Sir Edward Lyttleton, temp. Eliz., who married a daughter of Sir William
Devereux?
I could answer my own question by an inspection of the "Roper Roll;" but
unfortunately that is in Ireland, and I may not soon discover the address
of its possessor.
