At the end, in several hands, are various receipts: one in the elder Locke's handwriting, 'The Weapon Salve, and the use thereof, as it was sent unto mee as a most excellent and rare secret from my Cosin Alderman John Locke[5], of Bristoll, in his Letter, dat. 5^o Apr. 1650,'--also 'To make Shineing Inke', signed 'J L: Ox:' On the last leaf is a record of the Births, Marriages and Deaths of the Locke Family, from 1603 to 1624, including that of John Locke, the father, 29 April, 1606." [Footnote 5: High Sheriff of Bristol in 1626, and the Mayor of Bristol in 1641 who refused admittance to the royal forces. See Barrett and Seyer.] * * * * * Replies to Minor Queries. _Defoe's Anticipations_ (Vol. iii., p. 287.).--Defoe had probably seen the English translation, or rather abridgment, of Father Dos Santos's _Ethiopia Oriental_, in Purchas's _Pilgrimes_ (vol. ii. 1544, fol. ed.), in which some hints are given of the great lake (nyassi, _i. e._ sea) Maravi, which lies nearly parallel with the eastern coast, and was known to D'Anville, in whose map _Massi_ is misengraved for Niassi. A very careful examination of the Portuguese expeditions across the continent of Africa has been given by Mr. Cooley, in the _Journal of the Royal Geographical Society_ (vol. xv. p. 185.; xvi. p. 138.), and he has ascertained, approximately, the extent and position of that great lake, which, from distrust of D'Anville, one of the most exact geographers, had been expunged from all modern maps. It is considerably to the N. and E. of the Nyami lately determined, and of much greater extent. ANATOL.
