MR. URBAN,-In perusing different works since the publication of the 24th vol. of the Archæologia, I find the following accounts relating to Hats, which may afford some

amusement.

Evelyn in his Diary, 1644-5, mentions that the Jews in Rome "all wear yellow hatts," p. 124. And again in p. 169, "The Jewes in Rome wore red hatts til the Cardinal of Lions, being short-sighted, lately saluted one of them, thinking him to be a Cardinal, as he passed by his coach; on which an order was made that they should use only the yellow colour."

In the English Romayne Life, by Anthonie Munday, 1590, b. 1. it is mentioned "that the Jewes (in Rome) may be knowne from any other people, every one weareth a yellow cap or hatte, and if he goe abroade without it, they will use him very yll favouredly. In this order they come to the sermon, and when any of them doth chaunge his faith, he taketh his yellow cap or hatte off from his head, and throwes it away with great violence; then will a hundred offer him a blacke cap or hatte," &c.-Harl. Miscel.

&c.

The Present State of England, by Walter Carey, printed 1627. "I saw a compleat gentleman of late, whose beaver hat cost thirty-seven shillings, a feather shiltwenty lings, the hat-band three pounds,' Again-"I will not forget to touch a little the foolish and costly fashion of changing fashions, noted especially and objected against our English nation, and in one thing only, I mean the hat, I will express our prodigious folly in all the rest. Of late the broad-brimmed hat came suddenly in fashion, and put all others out of countenance and request, and happy were they that could get them soonest, and be first seen in that fashion, so that a computation being made, there is at least 300,000l. or much more, in England only, bestowed on broadbrimmed hats within one year and a half. As for others, either beaver or felts, they were on a sudden of no reckoning at all, insomuch that myself, still continuing one fashion, bought a beaver hat for five shillings, which the year before could not be had under thirty shillings."-Harl. Miscel.

In plate XL. vol. xxiv. of the Archæologia, the hat of James Howell, which is copied from an old print, I have since discovered in perusing the Censuria Lit. (Art. DLXVII.) that it belonged to a scarce work entitled "England's Teares for the present wars, &c. 1644." J. A. R.

E. I. C. says, "Mr. Kempe having referred to a description by me of the effigy of Bishop Shepey at Rochester, which appeared in your Magazine at the time of the discovery, I am happy to have an opportunity (though somewhat late in the day) of corroborating my former statement respecting the beard of the effigy; it having been stated in your pages that such beard was added after the discovery was made. Now, as I have lately had an opportunity of seeing not only the drawing by Mr. Swaine, which Mr. Kempe exhibited to the Antiquarian Society, but also an elaborate series of drawings by Mr. Cottingham, the architect of the cathedral, I am enabled to state that my observations were accurate, which perhaps at this period I should not have deemed necessary to assert but for the recent reference to my description."

Respecting the ancient family of Stuart of Tillicoultrie, INVESTIGATOR states that in a pedigree which he has lately seen, the fourth son of Alexander Stuart, of Galstoun, the grandson of Mr. John Stuart, of Bonkyll, is denominated Robert Stuart, of Barscube, and inquires in what county this place exists, or has existed. Garscube, about five miles from Glasgow, he conceives cannot be the same.

An INQUIRER asks for historical information respecting the Greek Church formerly in Stag-lane, now called Crown-street, at what time it belonged to the Greeks, and when it became the property of the French congregation? Also for the inscription over the portal, now almost obliterated.

P. 268. The title should be Viscount Dawnay, of the county of Downe, not in the county of Downe. Down is now the orthography of the county, but the Dawnay family retain the ancient mode of spelling the name with an e final.

P. 312. At ST. MALO died Samuel Lee, a non-conformist divine, on his return from New England, having been taken prisoner by a French privateer in 1691. He was author of several antiquarian as well as theological works.

P. 374, read Lord Gwydyr, not Gwydir.

M. H. asks by whom was Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible first translated into English? and if there ever has been an Italian or a Spanish translation of the work?
