Notes and Queries, Vol. V, Number 116, January 17, 1852: A Medium of Inter-communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, etc.

Questions and answers -- Periodicals
Consult the _Kerkelÿk Alphabeth_ of Veeris, Wagenaar, _Beschrÿving van
Amsterdam_, and Balen _Beschrÿving van Dordt_; also _The History of the
Scottish Church at Rotterdam_, by the Rev. William Steven, M.A.,
Edinburgh and Rotterdam, 1832, and Schotel, _Kerkelÿk Dordrecht_, vol.
i. p. 457., and the note (2), vol. ii. p. 217., where many particulars
concerning the Pagets, especially Robert, are found. It is, however,
probable that CRANMORE may obtain more information touching his family
in England than in this country. In Töcher's _Gelehrten Lexicon_ mention
is made of Ephraim, Eusebius, and Wilhelmus Paget, all of whom resided
in England.
We also read in the _Lÿste van de Namen der Predikanten in de Provincie
van Utrecht_, by H. van Rhenen, 1705, p. 66., that Robert Paget, an
Englishman, and English preacher at Dordt, nephew of Thomas Paget, was
invited to Utrecht in 1655, but declined. He remained at Dordrecht, and
died there in 1684.

Rotterdam, Navorscher, Jan. 1852.
_Lines on the Bible_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--"Within that awful volume
lies," &c. These lines are Walter Scott's. They are spoken by the White
Lady of Avenel, in _The Monastery_. It appears that they were copied by
Lord Byron into his Bible, for they are inserted at the end of
Galignani's 1-vol. edition of Byron's Works (Paris, 1826), among the
"_attributed_ pieces," as "lines found in Lord Byron's Bible." This I
believe is the only authority on which the compiler of the volume
referred to by your correspondent can have supposed his lordship to have
been the author. In Murray's editions they have no place, nor even in
Galignani's later editions.

replies.]
_Dial Mottoes_ (Vol. iv., p. 471.).--The following is an inscription
which I copied from a dial-plate in the churchyard of Kirk-Arbory, Isle
of Man:
"Thomas Kirkall de
Bolton Fecit.
Horula dum quota sit
Quæritur hora fugit.
1678."
There is a coat of arms also, but the tinctures are not marked; viz.
Quarterly of three coats: first and fourth, three roundels in fess,
between two barrulets; second, on a bend three mullets; third, a chevron
between three lozenges.
T. H. KERSLEY, B.A.
_Martial's Distribution of Hours_ (Vol. iv., pp. 273., 332.).--I ought
perhaps to thank THEOPHYLACT for good intention in answering, not the
question I did ask, but that which he thinks I "might have asked."
My real question was based upon an assumption, the truth of which
THEOPHYLACT denies: his reply therefore is rather a challenge to
premiss, than an answer to the question.
I totally dissent from him in understanding "quies lassis" in any sense
short of absolute _recumbent_ repose: "finis," which he takes as the
real commencement of the siesta, I understand as its conclusion: nor am
I aware of any, except the last final quies, to which the term _finis_
would be applicable.
