107. _Ancient Egypt, Language of._--What are the best standard works on the study of the language of ancient Egypt, as preserved in its monuments? What are the best works on its chronology? What translations exist of its "Ritual of the Dead?" I am acquainted with Lepsius Todtenbuch. What MSS. of it, _if any_, are preserved in British museums or libraries? have they been collated? I am acquainted with that in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, formerly in possession of the late Lord Kingsborough, which, I believe, has never been even lithographed; though among the members of that university are a Hincks, a Wall, and a Butcher. S. P. H. T. 108. _Dr. Matthew Sutcliffe._--None of the biographers of the famous Dr. Matthew Sutcliffe, Dean of Exeter, the controversial writer, and founder of Chelsea College, state where he was born, or where interred. Faulkner, in his _History of Chelsea_, observes that he was probably a native of Devonshire; but there appears to be some ground for considering that he was of a family settled at Mayroyd, in the parish of Halifax in Yorkshire. In a conveyance of the estate, dated 29th January, 1581, the grantor is Matthew Sutcliffe, "Doctor of Civil Law, dwelling in London." He was of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Doctor of Civil Law: he died in 1629. In his will he desires to be buried in Exeter Cathedral. Probably the inscription on his tombstone, if still existing, might settle this uncertainty. I shall feel obliged to any of your correspondents who can throw any light on the subject. JAMES CROSSLEY. 109. _Names first given to Parishes._--Is there any means of ascertaining the time at which names were first given to parishes? and can any reason be given for the recurrence of one termination in a particular locality? Thus between Caistor and Brigg in Lincolnshire, a distance of about nine miles, there are, I understand, the several parishes or hamlets of _Clixby_, _Fonaby_, _Grassby_, _Ownby_, _Searby_, _Bigby_, _Barnetby_, _Wrawby_, and there are many others in the neighbourhood. Of course, I know the meaning of _by_, as a termination; but I wish to know why it occurs so often in one locality, when perhaps a few miles off you have as many _hams_ or _thorpes_. Can you suggest any probable derivation of _Swinhop_? F. B. Leamington. 110. _German Testament._--What is the most literal German translation of the New Testament? Is the translation published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1844 to be depended on? A. G. 111. _The Man of Law._--Who was the author of the following lines quoted by Mr. Serjeant Byles a short time since?-- "The man of law, who never saw, The way to buy or sell, Shall never rise, by merchandise, Or ever speed him well." They may not be quite correct, as I write from memory. W. W. KING.
