he is unable to determine the date is one of Henry II. to Eustace Fitz-John, whose death in July, 1157 (before Henry II. had been three years on the throne), is a matter of historical notoriety. The chief and almost the sole value of this compilation consists in the collection in a single volume of passages scattered over a number of books, some of which are scarce and expensive; and therefore it is a serious objection that some of the longest and most important records are abridged to an extent which makes Mr. Bigelow's version of them useless to real students of history. His readers may fairly complain that they have still to refer to books so inaccessible as Dugdale's Monasticon and Palgrave's Anglo-Saxon Commonwealth for the famous stories of the Bishop of Durham's quarrel with William Rufus and of Richard de Anesty's recovery of his uncle's estate. Elizabethan Echoes. By the late John Addis, M.A. (Pickering & Co.) FROM the gracefully written preface to this little volume we learn that its author died in 1876, and that he was a contributor to "N. & Q." on many questions connected with obscure points of language or of early English literature. His verses are those of a refined and cultivated mind-perhaps more literary than absolutely poetical. It is difficult to make selection where the level of performance is so even; but there is more than one piece which will, we trust, find friends beyond the little circle of sympathizers to whom we owe the pub. lication of the collection. If we A Key to Tennyson's "In Memoriam." By Alfred Gatty, D.D. (Sheffield, Clark & Greenup.) An analysis of this kind was, we believe, published by the late Mr. F. W. Robertson, of Brighton. remember rightly, the one now printed by Dr. Gatty (which appears to have been delivered as a lecture at Liverpool and Sheffield in 1878-9) is by far the more elaborate in its scheme; while from the preface and certain passages in it we must infer that the writer has had the "highest authority" to guide him at his need. Those who, in this little-leisured age, have still to make acquaintance with this beautiful poem cannot do better than take Dr. Gatty for their "guide, philosopher, and friend." MR. JOHN DIPROSE, the printer, of Sheffield Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, whose death occurred last week at his residence in the Kennington Road, at the age of upwards of sixty, deserves mention here, if only as the author of Some Records of the Parish of St. Clement Danes, Past and Present, a work which a less modest author might easily have called a history. The book, which appeared in two small quarto volumes, is full of curious information and anecdote. It was favourably reviewed in the Times on its first appearance in 1868-70. Mr. Diprose was also the compiler of several cheap books for railway reading, a Guide to London, a Guide to Paris, sundry song-books, and an annual bearing his name. His loss will be much felt in the parish of St. Clement Danes, of which he was for many years an inhabitant. Notices to Correspondents. We must call special attention to the following notice: ON all communications should be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. R.-The fact that certain English actors were playing in Paris in the summer of 1598, is proved by the records of the Law Courts there. The probability that they acted some of Shakspeare's plays was rested by Mr. H. C. Coote, in his reply to the query in the Intermédiaire, on his own interpretation of some words which the Dauphin is stated to have picked up from the players, and to have gone about repeating, dressed up as an actor. These words were "Tiph! Toph! Milord!" (Intermédiaire, 1864, p. 85). Mr. Coote suggests that these are Falstaff's words to the Lord Chief Justice of Eng. land, in Henry IV., Act ii., scene 2, the entire sentence running, "This is the right fencing grace, my Lord, tap for tap, and so part fair" (Intermédiaire, 1865, p. 105). This identification seems very plausible, but we are not aware that the subject has been more fully discussed than in the two passages which we have cited from our excellent French contemporary, and in our own columns (5th S. ix. 43), in an editorial note, due to the valued and accomplished pen of the late Dr. Doran.
