See also the Preface to Foulis's _History of the Romish Treasons and Usurpations_, 1671, fol., and Wood's _Athenæ_, edit. Bliss, vol. iv. p. 139., in which it is stated to have been mostly collected from the answers of Anti-Cotton and Joh. Brierley, Priest. In Dodd's _Catholic Church History_, vol. ii. p. 427., folio edit., it is also attributed to Dr. M. Pattenson, of whom some account is given, and who is mentioned to have been Physician in Ordinary to Charles I. JAS. CROSSLEY. _School of the Heart_ (Vol. iii., p. 390.).--Your correspondent S. T. D. will find in the "Prefatory Notice to the Synagogue," printed with Herbert's _Temple_, edit. Pickering, an account of Christopher Harvey and his works; also in Walton's _Angler_, edited by Sir H. Nicolas. ϖ. _Meaning of Mosaic_ (Vol. iii., p. 389.).--The breast-plate of the Jewish High Priest, as commanded by _Moses_, was to be four square, and that divided into twelve squares, to designate the twelve tribes of Israel: from this circumstance, the word _Mosaic_ was derived as a term of Art, being a series or congregate of small squares of different coloured stones, applicable to the formation of any tesselated figure. Vide 39th chap. of Exodus, from verse 8. to 14, inclusive. JOHN KENTOR. Glyn y mêl, May 21. 1851. _Mosaic_.--This word would appear to be derived from the Greek, μοῦσα ἐκ μύω, _to close by pressure_; Latin, _musa_ vel _musivum_, that is, "opus eximia compositione tessellatum," a piece of _tesselated_ or _chequered_ work of superior manufacture, in regard to the manner in which the small stones or pieces of wood are _closed_ or _joined_ together. FRANCISCUS. _The Tradescants_ (Vol. iii, pp. 119. 286. 353. 391.).--In common with several of your correspondents, I have for some time past taken great interest in the Tradescants, and have read with much pleasure the letters of DR. RIMBAULT, MR. SINGER, and MR. PINKERTON. I have hitherto been unsuccessful in discovering any further particulars of the family of the Tradescants; but a few days since, in looking into a copy of Dr. Ducarel's tract on the subject, preserved among the books in the Ashmolean Museum, I found the following note in pencil, not very legibly written in the margin of the tract, where Dr. Ducarel says he has not been able to find any account in the Lambeth Register of the death of the elder Tradescant. "Consult (with certainty of finding information concerning the Tradescants) the Registers of ----apham, Kent." Since this note was written, the tract has been bound and the commencement of several words cut off. Amongst them is the name of the place of which the registers are to be consulted. I imagine it to be _Meapham_ (_apham_ is all that can be read).
