I shall be obliged by a reference to the authority on which this statement rests. George Fox frequently mentions both Leonard Fell and Judge Fell; but I cannot find in his _Journal_ the slightest hint that they were in any way connected. Fell is a common name in the north of Lancashire. Leonard Fell was one of the preachers who sometimes accompanied George Fox in his wanderings. Judge Fell was a staunch member of the Church of England. LLEWELLYN. 205. "_Cleanliness is next to Godliness._"--Will you, or one of your correspondents, have the goodness to inform me whence is derived the quotation "Cleanliness is next to Godliness?" A MUSSULMAN. 206. _Davies Queries._--I shall feel much obliged by a correct description of the monument erected to Sir John Davys, Davis, or Davies, the celebrated lawyer and poet, in St. Martin's church, London, and particularly of the arms, crest, and motto (if any) which are on it. I wish to know also the _correct blazon_ of the following coats of arms: Thos. Davies, a fess inter three elephants' heads erazed; and Davis of London, on a bend cotissed inter six battle-axes three daggers: there is some mention of these arms in the Har. MSS., but I wish to know the correct colours of the shields and their charges? LLAW GYFFES. Minor Queries Answered. _Poet referred to by Bacon._--To what poet does Bacon refer in the following passage of the _Advancement of Learning_?-- "The invention of one of the late poets is proper, and doth well enrich the ancient fiction: for he feigneth that at the end of the thread or web of every man's life there was a little medal containing the person's name, and that Time waited upon the shears; and as soon as the thread was cut, caught the medals, and carried them to the river of Lethe; and about the bank there were many birds flying up and down that would get the medals, and carry them in their beak a little while, and then let them fall into the river," &c.--Vol. ii. p. 112. in B. Montagu's edition of Bacon. E. [We are inclined to think that Bacon's reference was to the _Mirror for Magistrates_, and will probably be found in connexion with the following lines: "A little wren in beake with laurell greene that flew, Foreshew'd my dolefull death, as after all men knew."] _The Violin._--Which is the best work hitherto published on the history and construction of the violin? MUSICUS. [Certainly the best work on the history of this favourite instrument is the amusing little volume published by Mr. George Dubourg, in 1836, under the title of _The Violin, being an Account of that leading Instrument, and its most eminent Professors, from its earliest Date to the present Time: including Hints to Amateurs, &c._]
