_Earls of Clare_ (Vol. v., p. 205.).--Can H. C. K., who appears to have
access to an old pedigree of this family, answer any of the following
Queries?

Braose, who was starved to death at Windsor in 1240?

the above?

I should be glad to hear where this progressive series, or any of them,
might be met with. I understand it was considered a very complete Atlas
of Scotland in the olden times; but on applying to my Edinburgh
bookseller, I was informed they were out of print. I think they bear
date 1834, and I should think the plates are still in existence. They
were said to be very accurate, and the price was under a pound. They
were published by John Lothian, formerly Geographer and Map Publisher,
Edinburgh.
ELGINENSIS.
_Sally Lunn._--Partial to my sweet tea-cake, I often think when eating
it of Sally Lunn, the pretty pastrycook of Bath, to whose inventive
genius we are said to be indebted for this farinaceous delicacy. Is
anything known of Sally Lunn? is she a personage or a myth?
SHIRLEY HIBBERD.
"_Bough-House._"--At the late assizes for the county of Suffolk, the
witnesses in two separate cases spoke of a "bough-house," and the
explanation given was, that certain houses where beer, &c. was sold at
fair-time only had boughs outside to indicate their character. As an
illustration of the familiar proverb, "Good wine needs no _bush_," and
as the word does not occur in Forby's _Glossary of East Anglia_, it may
perhaps deserve a place.
BURIENSIS.
_Dyson's Collection of Proclamations._--The curious collection of old
proclamations, &c., in the library of the Society of Antiquaries is
sometimes referred to as _Dyson's_, sometimes as _Ames's_. Was Dyson the
original collector? and, if so, when did he live?
EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.
"_The Hour and the Man._"--Can any of your correspondents inform me what
is the origin of this expression? It occurs in _Guy Mannering_, and
printed in Italics, but not within inverted commas. Is it a quotation?
