Notes from Fly-Leaves.—No. 1.
Many scholars and reading-men are in the habit of noting down on the fly-leaves of their books memoranda, sometimes critical, sometimes bibliographical, the result of their own knowledge or research. The following are specimens of the kind of Notes to which we allude; and the possessors of volumes enriched by the Notes and memoranda of men of learning to whom they formerly belonged, will render us and our readers a most acceptable service by forwarding to us copies of them for insertion.
Douce on John of Salisbury. MS. Note in a copy of Policraticus, Lug. Bat. 1639.
"This extraordinary man flourished in the reign of Henry II, and was, therefore, of Old Salisbury, not of New Salisbury, which was not founded till the reign of Henry III. Having had the best education of the time, and being not only a genius, but intimate with the most eminent men, in particular with Pope Hadrian (who was himself an Englishman), he became at length a bishop, and died in 1182. He had perused and studied most of the Latin classics, and appears to have decorated every part of his work with splendid fragments extracted out of them."—Harris's Philosophical Arrangements, p. 457.
See more relating to John of Salisbury in Fabricii, Bib. Med/Ætasis, iv. 380.; in Tanner, Biblioth. Britannico-Hibernica; in Baillet's Jugemens des Savans, ii. 204. See Senebier, Catalogue des Manuscrits de Genève, p. 226.
"Johannes Sarisb. multa ex Apulcio desumpsit," Almclooven, Plagiaror. Syllab. 36.; and it might have been justly added, that he borrowed from Petronius. See the references I have made on the last leaf.
Janus Dousa, in his Notes on Petronius had called John of Salisbury "Cornicula ;" but Thomasius, in p. 240 of his work De Plagio Literario, vindicates him satisfactorily. See Lip. ad. Tacit. Annal XII. (pezzi di porpora), not noticed by any editor of Petronius. Has various readings. See my old edition.

The above is from Zanetti's Collection of Italian Novels, 4 vol. 8vo. Venet. 1754.
Mezeray, the French historian, translated ​this work 1640, 4to; and there is an old French translation of it in 1360 by Denis Soulechat.
The article pasted on the inside of he cover (viz. the following extract)
is from Lilly's Catalogue, and the passage relating to Becket was copied from that of Payne, to whom I communicated it, and which is found in the first edition only, being perhaps purposely omitted in all the others.
F.D
[We believe the majority of the books in Mr. Douce's valuable library, now deposited in the Bodleian, contain memoranda, like those in his John of Salisbury; and any of our Oxford friends could not do us a greater service than by communicating other specimens of the Book-noting of this able and zealous antiquary.]
# Notes and Queries/Series 1/Volume 1/Number 1/The Morning Chronicle, Etc.

THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.—WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
It is read in the Newspaper Directory that The Morning Chronicle was established in 1770, The Morning Herald in 1781, The Times, 1st January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and that of The Morning Herald to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can you, or any of the readers of "Notes and Queries," give me the exact dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first ten, of either or all?

Epistle LXVIII.
(To Virgilius, Bishop of Arelate (Arles).)
Gregory to Virgilius, &c.
What affection should be bestowed on brethren who come to us of their own accord is apparent from the fact that they are usually invited to visit us for the sake of charity. And so, if our common brother the bishop Augustine should chance to come to you, let your Love, as is fit, so affectionately and sweetly receive him as both to refresh him with the boon of your consolation and teach others also how fraternal charity should be cultivated. And, since it often happens that those who are placed at a distance learn first from others of things that require amendment, if he should perchance intimate to your Fraternity any faults in priests or others, do you, in concert with him, enquire into them with all subtle investigation. And do you both shew yourselves so strict and solicitous against things that offend God and provoke Him to wrath that, for the amendment of others, both vengeance may smite the guilty and false report not afflict the innocent. God keep thee safe, most reverend brother. Given the 10th day of the Kalends of July, the 19th year of the empire of our most pious lord Mauricius Tiberius Augustus, the 18th year after the same our lord’s consulship, Indiction 4.

Epistle LXIX.
To Brunichild, Queen of the Franks.
Gregory to Brunichild, &c.
Since it is written, Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin maketh peoples miserable (Prov. xiv. 34), a kingdom is then believed to be stable when a fault that is known of is quickly amended. Now it has come to our ears by the report of many, what we cannot mention without exceeding affliction of heart, that certain priests in those parts live so immodestly and wickedly that it is a shame for us to hear of it and lamentable to tell it. Lest, then, now that the rumour of this iniquity has extended as far as here, the wrong doing of others should smite either our soul or your kingdom with the dart of its sin, we ought to arise with ardour to avenge these things, lest the wickedness of a few should be the perdition of many. For bad priests are the cause of the ruin of a people. For who may offer himself as an intercessor for a people’s sins, if the priest who ought to have prayed for it commits more grievous offences? But, since those whose place it is to prosecute these things are stirred neither by care to enquire into them nor by zeal to punish them, let letters from you be addressed to us, and let us send over, if you order it, a person with the assent of your authority, who together with other priests may search into these things thoroughly, and amend them according to the will of God. For indeed what we speak of is not a thing to be winked at, since one who can amend a fault and neglects to do so without doubt makes himself partaker in it. See therefore to your own soul, see to your grandsons, whom you wish to reign happily, see to the provinces; and, before our Creator stretches out His hand to smite, take most earnest thought for the correction of this wickedness, lest He afterwards smite by so much the more sharply as He now waits longer and more mercifully. Know moreover that you will offer a great sacrifice of expiation to our God, if you cut off speedily from your territories the infection of so great a sin.

Epistle LXXVII.
To Boniface, Guardian (Defensorem), in Corsica.
Gregory to Boniface, &c.
Thy experience is not free from blame, in that, knowing Aleria and Adjacium, cities of Corsica, to have been long without bishops, thou hast delayed admonishing their clergy and people to choose for themselves priests. But, since they ought to be no longer without rulers of their own, hasten thou, on receiving this authority, to exhort the clergy and people of these cities severally, that they disagree not among themselves, but that each city with one consent choose for itself a priest to be consecrated. And, when they have made their decree, let such person as shall have been elected come to us. But, if they should be unwilling to come to an unanimous decision, being divided in their choice between two persons, let both in like manner come to us, the decree having been made in the usual way, that, after enquiry made into their lives and characters, the one who may appear to be most fit may be ordained. Seeing, moreover, that many poor persons there are said to be oppressed and to suffer prejudice, let thy Experience give heed to this, and not allow them to be unjustly aggrieved; but so endeavour thyself that neither they who take action be unreasonably hindered nor those against whom action is taken be in danger of sustaining damage unjustly.
Furthermore, it has reached our ears that some of the clergy, thou being on the spot, are held in custody by laymen. If this is so, know that the blame will be imputed to thee, since, if thou wert a man, it would not have been the case. And accordingly thou must needs pay attention in future so that thou permit not the like to be done; but that, if any one should have a cause of complaint against a clerk, he resort to his bishop. And, if perchance the latter should be suspected, a commissioner must be deputed by him—or, if this too should be objected to by the plaintiff, by thy Experience,—who may compel the parties to choose arbitrators by mutual consent. And whatever may be decided by them, let it be in all ways so carried out, with due observance of law, by thy own or the bishop’s care, that there may be no occasion for them to weary themselves with disputes.

Epistle LXXVIII.
To Barbara and Antonina.
Gregory to Barbara, &c.
On receiving your epistles, I was in all manner of ways delighted to hear of your well being, and I entreat Almighty God that He would guard you by His protection from malignant spirits in thought, and from perverse men, and from all contrariety; and that He would, with the grace of His fear, settle you in unions worthy of you, and cause us all to rejoice in your settlement. But do you, most sweet daughters, rest your hope on His help, and, being always under the shadow of His defence, both by praying and by well doing, escape the plots of bad men. For, whatever human comforts or adversities there may be, there are none, unless either His grace protects or His displeasure troubles you. Rest therefore your hope on no one among men, but bind your whole soul to trust in Almighty God. While we sleep, then, He will protect you, of whom it is written, Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep (Ps. cxx. 4).
As to your saying that you are in haste to approach the threshhold of the blessed Peter, Prince of the apostles, I wish exceedingly, and wait with fervent desire, to see you in his church united to husbands well worthy of you; that so both you may obtain some little comfort from me, and I no little joy from your presence. I have also commended your causes to thy most reverend brother the bishop John, and to Romanus the guardian (defensori), that under God they may accomplish what they have begun.
Your present of two racanæ, which you sent me word were your work, I accepted gladly. But yet know ye that I did not believe the word you sent me. For you are seeking praise from the work of others, seeing that you have perhaps never yet put hand to spindle. Nor yet does this circumstance distress me, since I wish you to love the reading of Holy Scripture, that, so long as Almighty God shall unite you to husbands, you may know how you should live and how you should manage your houses.

SURREY.
INTRODUCTION.
Less difficulty has been experienced in identifying the Domesday churches in the County of Surrey, than in either Kent or Sussex; and it will be observed, that not a single church of those named below is entirely unappropriated, although a little uncertainty still prevails respecting some few of them. The difference with regard to these three counties arises partly, no doubt, from the first-mentioned being smaller than the other two; but I readily acknowledge myself indebted to Manning and Bray's History of Surrey for assistance, without which I should have been utterly at a loss in several instances. This valuable history is preceded by a nearly fac-simile copy of the Domesday Survey of the county, an example well deserving of imitation in all similar topographical works. To the copy is added a slight map of Surrey in illustration of the Survey; but this, it must be remembered, rests solely upon the authority of the writers, by whom it was compiled.
# Notes on the churches in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey/Sussex/Addenda

ADDENDA TO SUSSEX.
The following churches and religious foundations are mentioned in the county of Sussex, of which the localities cannot be identified.
In A.D. 1291.
Ecclia de Brestelye.—In the deanery of Pevensey.
In N.R. about A.D. 1341
Ecclia de Breccesle or Breccele.—Perhaps the same as the above. The name follows Fletching and precedes Fokynton, which however is no guide to the situation, places being mentioned in great confusion. A better clue is, that the Inquisition was taken at Lewes, but for which we might conjecture Brightling.
In Val. Eccl.
Ecclia de Medlers—Belonged to the Priory of Lewes, and was certainly in Sussex, but in what deanery is not stated. It occurs also in Bp. Seffrid II's charter, though there spelled Medlins. An estate of the name belonged to Lewes Priory at the dissolution, and seems to have been in the neighbourhood of Compton.
Ecclia de Tryneburne.—See the Note upon Tortington.
Chartulary of Lewes Priory.
Ecclesia de Kanevelde. Mentioned by Will., second Earl Warenne; I should conjecture it means Cowfold.
Ecclesia de Faltwell.—This name occurs among the charters of Will., third Earl Warenne.
Stratfelda—Presbyterus de, is among the witnesses to a gift of Will. Flamingus; but without date.
A.D. 1269 Reginald de Staninges obtained the grant of a private chapel at Hecham by permission of the prior of Lewes.
​ Dudeney Chapel.—Of this no other knowledge has been, or can be, obtained, than what is afforded by a very inferior print and a meagre account in "Historical Descriptions of New and Elegant Picturesque Views of the Antiquities of England and Wales," published by Alex. Hogg, Lond. 1786. The description states the chapel to have been situated "in the forest of Ashdown," without further indicating the locality; that the walls had been very thick; but that neither door nor window was perfect; adding, "It appears to have had an aisle on the south side, and to have been supported on the inside by some massy pillars. The whole was built with a cement, that is now as hard as the stone, wherewith the building was composed."
Ramestede or Remsted.—On the authority of Tanner a Benedictine priory is stated to have existed at a place of this name in Sussex, founded probably by Rich. Archbp. of Canterbury (from A.D. 1171 to 1183) temp. K. Henry II. It was dissolved on account of the bad lives of some of the nuns, but seems to have been re-established. (Monast. IV, 658.)
Windeham.—The hospital of St. Edmund at Windeham in the patronage of the Crown is named 10 K. Richard II. (Monast. VI, 777.) Where to look for this place I know not.

NOTES TO SURREY.
10. Betchworth.—Chancel, southern ditto of similar extent, nave, narrow north and south aisles, west and south porches, tower at east end of south aisle, and modern brick addition on north of chancel. A large and lofty building, the arrangement of which appears somewhat unusual. The tower originally stood in the corresponding position on the northern side, but has recently been erected as at present, the repairs and alterations being still in progress when visited. South porch modern, of brick; the other old, of stone. There are portions of all styles, from Norm, downwards. All windows, but one in northern side and those in east end, Dec., the others Perp. In wall of south chancel a tomb arch, Dec., or rather E.E., under a square hood. Of the Brass of Will. Wardyworth, the inscription only remains. In south chancel a very large iron-bound oak chest of the rudest possible shape.
31. Crowhurst.—In the chancel of Checkenden Church, Oxfordshire, is the memorial of a Gaynesford from Crowhurst, who was wife of — Rede, one of a family settled at Checkenden, or in the vicinity, and still possessing a residence and estate in the adjoining parish of Ipsden.

From Heaven I fall, though from earth I begin. No lady alive can show such a skin. I'm bright as an angel, and light as a feather, But heavy and dark, when you squeeze me together. Though candor and truth in my aspect I bear, Yet many poor creatures I help to insnare. Though so much of Heaven appears in my make, The foulest impressions I easily take. My parent and I produce one another, The mother the daughter, the daughter the mother.

# Nottingham Journal/Art in a Garret

Published on page 1 of the Nottingham Journal, 7 May 1920; about F. J. Mears
Art in a Garret
Soldier's Pictures Bought by Dukes and Duchesses
In a small bed-sitting-room (without a bed) a London metal worker is painting war pictures which are bought by dukes and duchesses. He and his wife work, sleep, wash clothes, and have their meals in a room about 9ft by 6ft at the top of 13, Windmill Street, Tottenham Court Road.
There is no bed in the garret, partly because there is no room for it, and also because Mr. F. J. Mears, late of the R.G.A., cannot afford to buy one. So he and his wife sleep on the floor.
Before the war Mr. Mears was a metal worker of exceptional skill, earning good wages. He was gassed and knocked about in Flanders, and invalided out of the Army two years ago with a disablement pension of 8s a week. He went back to his old trade, but found the work too heavy for him.
Shared a Kipper.
Compelled to give up his work, he decided to express, by means of art, what he had seen and felt in Flanders. He knew nothing of drawing it. He had never had instructions of any kind, but he and his wife agreed to spend a little money they had left in buying brushes, paint and paper.
Then they starved. One day they shared a kipper, another day they had a few potatoes. But Mrs. Mears, a slim, fragile women, believed in the genius of her husband, and encouraged him to persevere. Thus stimulated, he painted a picture which expressed the whole spirit of the war—of war as it is, as the solider sees it, and not as seen by the conventional artist.
A Real Picture of War.
It was a picture of a shattered, splintered trees crying aloud, as Mr. Mears himself puts it, against the horrors of it all, of dark sinister pools of mud, of a troubled sky, and of insignificant little crouching figures running across a shell-swept road. It expressed—what the artist had wanted to express—the utter insignificance of men crushed by the pitiless machine of war.
Dame Furse of the Wrens, happened to pass the shop in Piccadilly where the picture—a water-colour in a monotone of blue—was shown in the the window. She bought it at once. That night Mr. and Mrs. Mears had their first meal for weeks.
He painted more pictures, all burning with the same idea, and he took them round to 20, Old Bond-street, where 30 are now exhibited.
The Duchess of Norfolk bought one. Lord Wodehouse, Lady Astor, Major-General Ponsonby, Major-General Gough, and Miss Elsie Janis bough several. A countess took away a study of the men in the road in her Rolls-Royce.
Few, probably, suspected that the man who had painted these singularly powerful criticisms of war was an invalid metal worker living with his wife in a bed-sitting room (without a bed) up a squalid passage in Tottenham Court-road.
