Questions and answers -- Periodicals
_Arbor Lowe, Stanton Moor, Ayre Family._--Can any of your readers oblige
me with information respecting the Druidical remains at Arbor Lowe and
Stanton Moor, in the Peak of Derbyshire? I am unable to find any but
meagre notices; and in one or two so-called histories of Derbyshire,
they are only casually mentioned. Also any particulars concerning the
old family of the Ayres, who formerly lived at Birchever, and whose
house still stands in a very ruinous condition at the foot of the Routor
Rocks?
I have heard that some very singular histories are connected with the
family.
H.
[Arbor Lowe and Stanton Moor will be found very fully described by
that indefatigable Derbyshire antiquary Mr. Bateman, in his
_Vestiges of the Antiquities of Derbyshire_, published in 1848.]
_Bishop of Worcester "On the Sufferings of Christ."_--Who was the Bishop
of Worcester about the year 1697? I have a book by him _On the
Sufferings of Christ_, and it only states by Edward Bishop of Worcester.
I presume it is Dr. Stillingfleet.
Σιγμα.
[This work is by Bishop Stillingfleet; the first edition was
published in 1696, and Part II. in 1700, the year following the
Bishop's death.]
_Lord Clifford._--Is the present Lord Clifford lineally descended from
the Lord Clifford who was Lord High Treasurer _temp._ Charles II., or
whether he derives through any collateral branch?
CLERICUS.
[The present Lord Clifford, the eighth baron, is lineally
descended from Thomas first Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, who was
so created 22nd April, 1672.]
_Latin Translation of Sarpi's Council of Trent._--Can any one inform me
who translated this into Latin? I have a copy of an early edition,
without printer's name or place of publication, and with the fictitious
name _Petri Suavis Polani_; an anagram, though not an accurate one, of
_Pauli, Sarpis, Veneti_. The date is 1622, and over it is the device of
a man under a tree, round which a vine twines, with "non solus" on a
scroll. At the foot of the title-page is a MS. note in the handwriting
of Rev. Francis Boult, who was a dissenting minister in Shrewsbury about
a hundred years ago. It would enable those who have access to public
libraries (which I have not) to answer the question above proposed. _Si
scire cupias quis interpres hanc historiam ex Italico in Latinum
sermonem verterit, consula opusculum Degorii Wheare, Relectiones
Hyamales vocatum pag. 219 et 220._
E. H. D. D.
[This is the first edition of the very inaccurate Latin
translation of Sarpi's _Council of Trent_. The first two chapters
were translated by Sir Adam Newton, and the last two by William
Bedell, afterwards Bishop of Kilmore.]
_Livery Stables._--What is the meaning of _livery_ stables, and when
were they first so called?
J. C. W.
