_Court Dress_ (Vol. iii., p. 407.).--There are no orders of the Earl Marshal, printed or manuscript, upon the subject of court costume--it is not within his department. It is more likely that the Lord Chamberlain has notices upon the subject. In all cases of court mourning, his lordship specifies the dress, and notifies the changes, not always, however, strictly adopted or comprehended. Gh. _Ex Pede Herculem_ (Vol. iii., p. 302.).--The origin of this proverb is to be found, I think, in Plutarch, who is quoted by Aulus Gellius (i. 1.) as saying in substance as follows: "Pythagoras ingeniously calculated the great stature of Hercules, by comparing the length of various stadia in Greece. All these courses were nominally 600 feet in length, but Hercules was said to have measured out the stadium at Olympia with his own feet, while the others followed a standard of later days. The philosopher argued that by how much the Olympic course exceeded all others in length, by the same proportion did the foot of Hercules exceed that of men of a subsequent age; and again, by the same proportion must the stature of Hercules have been pre-eminent." (The original is to be found also in _Plutarchi Varia Scripta_, ed. Tauchnitz, vol. vi. p. 393.) C. P. Ph***. _The Day of the Accession of Richard III._ (Vol. iii., p. 351.).--I have examined the original inrolment of the entry upon the Remembrance Roll _ex parte Capitalis Rememoratoris Hiberniæ_, of the second year of Richard III., with the _fac-simile_ of that entry which appears in the Irish Record Reports (1810-1815, plate 9.), and I find that the _fac-simile_ is correct. The accession of Richard III. is shown by the entry upon the original record to have taken place on the twenty-_sixth_ day of June. This entry is, as I have stated, upon the roll of the second year of Richard III., and not of the first year, as stated by the said Record Reports, there being no Remembrance or Memoranda Roll of the first year of that monarch to be found amongst the Exchequer Records of Ireland. Upon this subject of Richard III.'s accession, I beg to transmit to you the copy of a regal table which is entered in the Red Book of the Exchequer, probably the most ancient, as well as the most curious, record in Ireland. Judging by the character of the handwriting of this _Tabula Regum_, I would come to the conclusion, that the entries prior in date to that of Henry VIII.'s reign have been made during the time of that monarch; or, in other words, that this table has probably not been compiled at any time previous to the reign of Henry VIII.
