"Ex officina nostra caleographa Parrhisiis pridie Kalendas Novembris anni hujus M. CCCCC quarti." The volume was presented to the College library by Mr. Croker, as appears by a _dono dedit_ in his handwriting, and by the following note in that of the learned Dr. Barrett:-- "This book, which formerly belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, was presented by James I. to Bishop Hall (fol. 90.), and presented to this library, July 26, 1800, by John Wilson Croker, F.C., A.B." The presentation by James to the Bishop is thus recorded:-- "Hunk [sic] librum Jacobus rex dono dedit amico suo reverendo Doctori Hall." These details may interest bibliographers, as I do not find any notice of this edition in Dibdin, or any other work within my reach[2] but the main object of my curiosity is the Latin epigram in the Queen's hand, and supposed (I suspect erroneously) to be her composition. The lines are: "Sæpe meæ dixi 'tandem discede' puellæ-- In gremio sedit protinus illa meo; Sæpe 'pudet' dixi; Lacrimis vix illa retentis 'Me miseram cur te,' dixit 'amare pudet?'" [Footnote 2: [See Panzer's _Annales Typog._, vol. vii. p. 335.]] The obvious reason for doubting _ex facie_ that this is the Queen's composition, is its masculine character; but some of your many learned correspondents may be able to say whether the verses are to be found elsewhere, and attributed to any other author? I myself have not seen the volume for above fifty years; but the foregoing extracts have been furnished me by a friend who lately examined it. One curious particular, however, I remember. The capital letters at the head of the several divisions of the work are, after the manner of the time, ornamented with _devices_, and one of these, which Queen Mary _must_ have seen (if _she_, indeed, wrote the MS. notes), is of a most grotesque character, totally unfit for a lady's, or indeed for any body's eye; and I dare say _that_ page was not exhibited in 1849. C. Minor Queries Answered. _Meaning of Farlieu._--Devonshire leases for lives often reserve a money payment on the death of each life as a "heriot" or "farlieu." Can you inform me of the etymology and meaning of the latter word? it appears almost synonymous with "heriot." CLERICUS. [Bailey, in his _Dictionary_, says "_Farleu_ or _Farley_ is a duty of sixpence paid to the lord of the manor of West Slapton in Devonshire, in the western parts; _farleu_ being distinguished as the best good thing from _heriot_ the best beast."] "_History of Anglesey._"--I would be glad if any of your readers can afford me any information regarding the writer of a work bearing the following title:-- "A History of the Island of Anglesey, from its first Invasion by the Romans, until finally acceded to the Crown of England, &c. Serving as a Supplement to Rowlands' Mona Antiqua Restaurata. To which are also added, Memoirs of Owen Glendower, 4to. Lond. 1775, pp. 88."
