27. _The Leman Baronetcy._--I shall be extremely obliged by any account as to the succession of the disputed Leman Baronetcy or estates. Sir William Leman, of Northaw (or Northall), Herts, was, I believe, the last of that designation, and up to the present time doubts exist as to the heir male or other descendants, although great property and possessions are in abeyance or at stake. H. M. 28. _Armorial Bearings._--Can any of your correspondents inform me to what family the following arms belonged: Sa. a lion ramp. or, betw. three fleur-de-lys ermine. Crest, a sea-horse. Motto, "Fortior vi virtus." The above arms are painted on the portrait of a gentleman wearing a ruff, temp. James I., in the possession of my family, and I am anxious to ascertain who it represents. F. J. B. Winchester. 29. "_History of Magnetical Discovery._"--In the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for April 1840, I find the following notice: "Thomas Stephens Davies, Esq., Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh, Professor of Mathematics in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and Author of the _History of Magnetical Discovery_, &c. &c." Being interested in all that concerns the late Mr. Davies, I shall feel much obliged to any one who will state where I can find the _History_ here alluded to. I may add that I am acquainted with his papers on "Terrestrial Magnetism," published in the London _Philosophical Transactions_ for 1835-6; but since they do not much partake of the character of "History," they can scarcely be the papers intended. T. T. W. Burley, Lancashire. 30. _George Chalmers._--Can any of your correspondents inform me what became of the MSS. of the late Mr. George Chalmers? On the titles of many of the older poets and dramatists of Scotland I have met with his notes referring evidently to some MS. list of the lives of such writers in his possession. My inquiry has reference, therefore, more particularly to the MS. in question, which has not, I think, been published. J. O. 31. _Mistake as to an Eclipse._-- "Some," says Meric Casaubon, "have been deceived in the hour [of an eclipse], as in the eclipse that happened _April 3, 1605_; about which some very able artists are noted to have mistaken; and the reason is given by astronomers how such a mistake might happen." Such is my "Note;" but I cannot just now give the reference. I will answer for its accuracy. Can any one give some account of that eclipse, and state the reasons alleged why "such a mistake might happen?" VARRO. 32. _Statue of Mrs. Jordan._--In visiting Chantrey's studio some years since, in company with a sculptor still living, we received from Mr. Allan Cunningham a similar account to that which MR. PETER CUNNINGHAM has given, that is to say, that the design was _Stodhart's_, of which, indeed, it bore too certain evidence.
