that the Æginetans were celebrated for their works in bronze, for fine medals (the art of coining money indeed being first introduced by the inhabitants of this island), for their terra cotta vases, &c. Fosbroke's excellent _Cyclopædia of Antiquities_ may be with advantage consulted in respect to the Eginetic school of art. J. J. S. The Cloisters, Temple. _Herschel Anticipated_ (Vol. iv., p. 233.).--I cannot inform ÆGROTUS who was declared to be mad for believing the sun's motion, but Herschel was anticipated by Lalande (_Mémoires_, 1776), who inferred it from the sun's rotation; also by Professor Wilson, of Glasgow (_Thoughts on Universal Gravitation_, 1777), and, earlier than these, by the Rev. Mr. Michell, in _Philosophical Transactions_, 1767. Mayer (_De Motu Fixarum_, 1760) mentions the hypothesis, and rejects it. ALTRON. _Wyle Cop_ (Vol. iv., pp. 116. 243.).--_Cop_ is not a _hill_ or _head_, as Mr. Lawrence supposes, and as the word certainly signifies in some parts of England, but a _bank_. The artificial banks which confine the Dee at and below Chester were called fifty years ago, and I dare say are still called, _Cops_, with distinctive names. By SALOPIAN'S account, _Wyle Cop_ is such a bank. I cannot explain _Wyle_, but think it probable that it was the name of some former proprietor of the ground. It however no more needs explanation than if it were joined to _Street_ or _Lane_, instead of to _Cop_. E. H. D. D. _Macfarlane Manuscripts_ (Vol. iv., p. 406.).--In reply to your correspondent ANTIQUARIENSIS, I have to inform you that the "Macfarlane Collections" preserved in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, are chiefly of an "ecclesiastic nature." In Turnbull's _Fragmenta Scoto-Monastica_, published by Stevenson of Edinburgh, 1842, I find it stated that-- "Mr. Walter Macfarlan of Macfarlan (_Scoticè_, of that Ilk) was an eminent antiquary, who devoted his attentions strictly to the historical monuments of his own country, especially the ecclesiastic remains. He caused to be made, at his own expense, by his clerk, one Tait, copies of most of the chartularies accessible in his time. These are distinguished for their fidelity and neatness. Mr. Macfarlan died 5th June, 1767, and his MSS. were purchased by the Faculty of Advocates." Of these valuable and highly important chartularies there has been printed, 1. Aberdeen; 2. Arbroath; 3. Balmerino; 4. Dryburgh; 5. Dunfermline; 6. Kelso; 7. Lindores; 8. Melros; 9. Moray; 10. St. Andrews; and 11. Scone. According to Douglas, in his _Baronage of Scotland_, folio, 1798--
