Ireland, and Suggestions of Objects of Archæological Interest in the West of Scotland. The Reports of the various Antiquarian Societies will be found replete with matters of interest; and the same may fairly be said of the Correspondence, in which department SYLVANUS URBAN is still able to boast of the many learned men who make his pages their medium of communication. Though the space that can be afforded for Reviews is but limited, no work of antiquarian interest submitted to the judgment of SYLVANUS URBAN has been allowed to go unnoticed. Of the remaining portions of the volume it may justly be said that they embrace such a permanent record of the family changes among the upper classes of society as can nowhere else be found, and the value of which has been freely acknowledged by those best qualified to judge-as family and county historians. The labour of producing this mass of materials is great, but whilst (as has long been the case) SYLVANUS URBAN continues to receive proof that his exertions are appreciated he will consider himself amply repaid.

THE FAMILY OF WALDO. We have to acknowledge the receipt of a privately printed pamphlet entitled, "Notes respecting the Family of Waldo," which has been compiled by Mr. Morris Charles Jones, of Gungrog, near Welshpool, and 11, Dale-street, Liverpool, who acknowledges his obligations to the pages of the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE for some of the information. He would be glad to hear from any one who can supply certain deficiencies, of which the following are the principal : "POINTS UPON WHICH FURTHER INFORMATION IS SOUGHT. "Page 1.-The Christian name and any particulars of the first of the Waldos who came to England from the Netherlands temp. Elizabeth, and any particulars of his previous pedigree and arms, or of his children, or descendants, whose pedigrees are not traced out in the foregoing notes. The supply of any of the Christian and other names and dates, for which blanks are left. "Particulars and derivation of the family of Peter Waldo of Lyons, and his arms (if any). Page 5.-Are any of the descendants of Tryphæna, wife of Henry Arnold, Esq., still extant ? "Page 6.-An extract from 'The Life of Mary II. (1695),' or any other work, giving particulars of the knighting of Sir Edward Waldo by Charles II. Page 13.-On what occasion was Sir Timothy Waldo knighted? and is it referred to in any work? "Page 25.-The name of the first settler of the name of Waldo in America, from whence he came, and where he first settled; and any particulars that may be likely to furnish a clue to his origin and family, and any particulars of his descendants. 'Page 29.-Information as to the family of Walden or Waldew, who first took the bend azure.' "Page 30.-The origin of the Waldeive family of Warwickshire, and of their arms." "SPERNIT PERICULA VIRTUS." SIR,-My last letter on this subject must be somewhat qualified, and the owner of the seal in question allowed a little more scope. My informant being in years, there is a little doubt about the date and place of finding the seal. I am now informed that it was picked up at Brighton about the year 1820.-I am, &c. WILLIAM GREY. TO CORRESPONDENTS. - J. A. B. The leaden signaculum (found in the river at Crayford) in the form of a half-moon, or ship, with a figure seated within it, is, as J. A. B. conjectures, a veritable pilgrim's sign. The type will be found in the Collectanea Antiqua, vol. pl. xxxiii. figs. xi. and xiv., where it is assigned to the shrine of Our Lady of Boulogne-sur-Mer. A seal found at Darenth, and a coin found on the beach at Sheerness, submitted to us by Mr. Alfred Pryer, may be described as follows:-The seal is oval, with loop at the back, aud inscribed, FRANGE LEGE TEGE: 'Break' 6 con(the seal); 'read' (the letter); ceal' (it). The device is an arm with closed hand, upon which a falcon is perched. The coin is a penny of Ethelred II., of the type No. 4, pl. xxii., of Ruding's "Annals of the Coinage of Britain," but struck at Canterbury, CAENT, by the moneyer Eadwold, EADPOLD. It is in excellent condition. Several Reports, Reviews and Obituaries, which are in type, are unavoidably postponed. |
