"Spake full well, in language quaint and olden, One who dwelleth on the castled Rhine, When he called the flowers so blue and golden, Stars that in earth's firmament do shine." To whom does he allude as dwelling "on the castled Rhine?" Cowley says: "Upon the _flowers_ of Heaven we gaze; The _stars_ of earth no wonder in us raise." And Washington Irving gives an Arabian inscription from one of the gardens of the Alhambra, which commences with a somewhat similar thought: "How beauteous is this garden, where the flowers of the earth vie with the stars of Heaven!" SELEUCUS. _Lady Petre's Monument._--In the church at Ingatestone, in Essex, there is a beautiful monument to Mary Lady Petre, of the date 1684, upon which there is the following curious inscription:-- "D. O. M. Certa spe Immortalitatis Parte sui mortali hoc tegitur marmore Maria Vidua Domini Roberti Petre Baronis de Writtle Guilielmi Joannis et Thomæ Una trium Baronum Mater Quæ 13o Jannuarii Añ D[=m]i 1684-5 annum Ætatis agens 82 in terris devixit, ut Æternum in coelo viveret Quo illam singularis in Deum pietas Suavis in omnes benevolentia Profusa in egenos liberalitas Inconcussa in adversis patientia Ceu igneus Eliæ currus totidem rotis haud dubie evixerunt-- Sicut Sol oriens Mundo in Altissimis Dei Sic Mulieris bonæ Species in ornamentum domus suæ. Ecclus. 26. AEIOU." I should be glad if any of your learned readers could elucidate the meaning of the five vowels at the foot of the inscription. J. A. DOUGLAS. 16. Russell Square, June 7. 1851. _Dr. Young's Narcissa_ (Vol. iii., p. 422.).--J. M. says that the Narcissa of Dr. Young was Elizabeth Lee, the poet's _daughter-in-law_. The letter quoted in the same article from the _Evan. Mag._ of Nov. 1797, calls her Dr. Young's _daughter_. Has not your correspondent been led into a mistake by calling Narcissa Dr. Young's daughter-in-law? as, if she were so, how could she have been named "Lee?" She might have been his step-daughter, though it has been generally understood that Narcissa was the poet's own and favourite daughter. Will you, or your correspondent J. M., be so good as to clear up this point? W. F. S. Surbiton. _Briwingable._--What is _briwingable_, from which certain burgesses were exempted in a charter of John's? It cannot be a corruption from _borough-gable_, because all burgesses had to pay gable. J. W. _Thomas Kingeston, Knt., called also Lord Thomas Kingeston._--Can any of your correspondents give any clue or information touching this Lord Kingeston? He lived in the early part of the reign of Edward III. In the extracts from Aske's Collections relating to the descendants of M. Furneaux, published in the first volume of _Coll. Top. and Gen._, at p. 248., it is stated:
