Questions and answers -- Periodicals
The settlement of a colony of Flemings in the lower part of
Pembrokeshire, called Rhos and Castle Martin, in the time of Henry I.,
was one of the subjects discussed at the meeting of the Cambrian
Archæological Association at Tenby in August last, where the subject was
fully debated, and the fact seemed established. A full report of this
discussion is contained in the October number of the _Cambrian
Archæological Association_, published by Pickering, London.

_"History of Anglesey," &c._ (Vol. iv, p. 317.).--This publication is
attributed to the Rev. J. Thomas in a note to page 230. of the _Cambrian
Plutarch_, by the late J. Humphreys Parry.
T. O. M.
_The Lowey of Tunbridge_ (Vol. iv., p. 294.).--There still is, I
believe, a district known by this name. In order to save the valuable
space in "NOTES AND QUERIES," I will merely refer E. N. W. for
information respecting it to the following works:
"A Perambulation of Kent; written in the yeere 1570 by William
Lambarde of Lincolnes Inn, Gent. Imprinted at London by Edm.
Bollisant, 1596."--Page 425.
This first I believe to be a somewhat scarce book.
"A Topographie or Survey of the County of Kent. By Richard
Kilburne, London, 1659."--Pp. 276, 277.
"Tunbridge Wells and its Neighbourhood. By Paul Amsinck, Esq.,
London, 1810."--Pp. 97-99.
There are incidental notices of Tunbridge Lowey in Hasted's _History of
Kent_. From the _Parliamentary Gazetteer_ I extract the following (to
which my attention has been directed by a friend):--
"Tunbridge Lowey, a division in the Lathe of Aylesford, County of
Kent. Area, 20,660 acres; houses, 2,072; population in 1831,
12,233."
In 1841 the census returns for that district gave a population of
14,638.
There is also, I believe, another "Lowey," viz. that of Pevensey.
R. VINCENT.
_Praed's Works_ (Vol. iv., p. 256.).--About five years since I saw in
the travelling library of an American lady a very good edition of
Praed's _Poems_, small 8vo. clear type, published (I believe) in the
_States_. The owner promised to send me a fac-simile of the work, on her
return to New York; but family bereavements and various painful
circumstances have arisen to banish the recollection of such a promise.
I have asked for the book in vain in London; but if your correspondent
K. S. is very anxious to procure a copy, I would suggest an order for
it, given through _Chapman in the Strand_, to whom Wiley and Putnam
appear to have transferred the American literary agency. I should think
the price would not exceed six or seven shillings.

[This collection was published by Griswold of New York in 1844. We
saw a copy at Tupling's, No. 320. Strand, a few days since.]
