Mignonette the Badge of the Counts of Saxony (2nd S. i. 454.) - Does not D. L. mean rue, a wreath of which occurs in the arms of Saxony, and of which the following origin is given by Heylin?

"The arms are Barrewise of six pieces sable and or, a bend flowered vert, which bend was added to the coat by the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, when he confirmed Bernard of Anhalt in the Dukedom, 1180. He, desiring the Emperor to have some difference added to the Ducal coat (before only Barry sable and or) to distinguish him and his successors from those of the former House, the Emperor took a chaplet of rue which he had then upon his head, and threw it across his buckler or escutcheon of arms, which was presently painted thereon."

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

We are indebted to Messrs. Black of Edinburgh for one of the pleasantest books which have been issued during the present season. Under the modest title of Memorials of His Time, by Henry Cockburn, this accomplished gentleman has given us his recollections of the distinguished men and important events that had marked the progress of Scotland during his day. The book is a model for books of such a nature. Full of gossiping and most graphic notices of "Auld Reekie" at the commencement of the present century-when the Old Parliament House, "the Krames," "Wryttes Houses," and the "Heart of Midlothian," were all part and parcel of the city-rich, too, in pictures of the then condition of society in Edinburgh, with all its marked nationalities -- yet the great charm of Lord Cockburn's Memorials will be found in the author's clever pen-and-ink sketches of the men who made Edinburgh what it is. H. B. could not in a few lines have hit off more life-like portraits: and it says much for the love of justice and kindliness of heart of Lord Cockburn, that he dwells with obvious pleasure on the bright side of the characters of those whom he is describing. Himself a strong Whig, he likes to speak well of men of the opposite side: and none can doubt the honesty and true-heartedness of one whose belief in the worthiness of human nature breathes through every line of this most charming volume.

From Cockburn to Christopher North is a strange, though not altogether unnatural transition: for both are painters of Edinburgh society, though their pictures are from opposite points of view. We may therefore here record the publication of the concluding volume of the Noctes Ambrosiane, which is made most acceptable by a good Index. For the good things of Christopher are so many, and so multifarious, that they stand in great

need of an Index.

There is not one of our publishing Societies which does its work better than The Hackluyt; and to the many excellent unpublished voyages and travels which the Society has given to the world, we have now to add The East India Voyages of Sir Henry Middleton, edited by Mr. Bolton Corney. The scrupulous care and conscientious accuracy with which Mr. Corney always discharges his editorial duties, are patent in the work before us, which is most valuable as throwing light upon the early voyages

Disciplina Rediviva, or Hints and Helps for Youths By the Rev. John Smith Gilderdale, leaving School. M.A. An excellent outline of private study, well deserving the attention of all; but especially of those who may contemplate examination by the Civil Service Commissioners.

An Essay on the Life and Genius of Thomas Fuller; with Selections from his Writings. By Henry Rogers. The cheap, useful, and instructive series of works published by Messrs. Longman under the title of the Traveller's Library, is brought to a fitting close by this excellent essay, and the capital selection of Fulleriana which is appended to it.

Notices to Correspondents.

This being the Closing Number of the present Volume, in which we have been anxious to include as many REPLIES as possible, we have been compelled to postpone many interesting NOTES AND QUERIES until next week; among these is a valuable list of Suffragan Bishops in England, by the Rev. Mackenzie Walcott, a subject just now of peculiar interest.

INDEX TO THE FIRST SERIES. As this is now published, and the impression is a limited one, such of our readers as desire copies would do well to intimate their wish to their respective booksellers without delay. Our publishers, MESSES. BELL & DALDY, will forward copies by post on receipt of a Post Office Order for Five Shillings.

We should like to see it.

R. W. will find the history of the lines beginning "I dreamt that buried in my fellow clay" which are a translation from the French of Patrix, in our 11th Vol. pp. 187. 273. THE BLACKBIRD. THE CASE OF OLIVER ST. JOHN will be found treated of in our 7th vol. p. 520. ALEXANDER ANDREWS, Esq., AND J. B. WHITBORNE, ESQ. To what addresses can we forward letters to these Correspondents? We have also letters waiting for E. Tooc, Swansea; and G. N.

"NOTES AND QUERIES" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

"NOTES AND QUERIES" is also issued in Monthly Parts, for the convenience of those who may either have a difficulty in procuring the unstamped weekly Numbers, or prefer receiving it monthly. While parties resident in the country or abroad, who may be desirous of receiving the weekly Numbers, may have stamped copies forwarded direct from the Publisher. The subscription for the stamped edition of "NOTES AND QUERIES" (including a very copious Index) is eleven shillings and fourpence for six months, which may be paid by Post Office Order, drawn in favour of the Publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, No. 186. Fleet Street.
