_Correction to the "Oxford Manual of Monumental Brasses."_--Permit me to correct an error in the above carefully compiled and useful manual. On p. 15. of the "Descriptive Catalogue" a brass is described, No. 32. of their collection, to "Edward Peach, 1439;" no place is mentioned in connexion with this brass. The notice should stand thus: "1839. Edward Peach, _S. Chad's (R.C.) Church, Birmingham_. [+] "Hic jacet dmus Edwardus Peach quondam rector istius ecclesie qui obiit die Nativitatis _Beate_ Marie Virginis Anno Domini _milessimo_ _D_CCCXXXIX," &c. The brass is so well _designed_ and _executed_, that it might easily pass for an old example. By some error "s[=a]cte" has been printed for "Beate," "millessimo" for "milessimo," and "CCCC" for "DCCC" in the Oxford version of the inscription. W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A. _Milton's Rib-bone._--In Vol. v., p. 275., mention is made of Cromwell's skull; so it may not be out of place to tell you that I have handled one of Milton's ribs. Cowper speaks indignantly of the desecration of our divine poet's grave, on which shameful occurrence some of the bones were clandestinely distributed. One fell to the lot of an old and esteemed friend, and between forty-five and forty years ago, at his house, not many miles from London, I have often examined the said rib-bone. That friend is long since dead; but his son, now in the vale of years, lives, and I doubt not, from the reverence felt to the great author of _Paradise Lost_, that he has religiously preserved the precious relic. It might not be agreeable to him to have his name published; but from his tastes he, being a person of some distinction in literary pursuits, is likely to be a reader of "N. & Q.," and if this should catch his eye, _he_ may be induced to send you some particulars. I know he is able to place the matter beyond a doubt. B. B. Pembroke. Queries. THE DANES IN ENGLAND. Since I arrived in England my friend Mr. Thoms has called my attention to the following Note by the "English Opium Eater" in the _London Magazine_ for May, 1823, p. 556., on a subject of great interest to me with reference to the views I have advanced in my recently published volume, entitled _An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, and Ireland_.
