JOSEPHUS STRTJTHIUS. Robert Burton, in the 'Anatomy of Melancholy, 3 refers to
- ' Josephus Struthius, that Polonian, and his
'Doctrine of Pulses'" (Shilleto's ed. of the 'Anatomy,' 1896, vol. iii. p. 156). Is anything known of Struthius 1 and when was the ' Doctrine of Pulses ' printed 1 Perhaps some medical or Polish reader can help.

POLISMAN. I have picked up a book with the following curious title : " Historia del Valoroso Cavalier Polisman, nuouamente tradotta dalla lingua Spagnuola nella Italiana da M. Giouanni Miranda. In Veuetia appresso Lucio Spineda, 1612," pp. 279, with register. Who was Polisman, and whence his extra- ordinarily un-Spanish name 1 J. P. M.
[The first edition of this work appeared in Venice in 8vo, from the presses of Christ. Zanetti, 1573. It appears from Brunet to have been in six volumes, though this is not sure. A copy was in the La Valliere sale. This is all we personally know.]
OLD BIBLE. My interest has been aroused by an old Bible, of which I would gladly learn more. The size is small quarto, and the text, which is in double columns, is in black letter, the marginal references and comments being in Roman type. Acts xxi. 15 runs " wee trussed up our fardles "; and pro- bably "breeches" represented "aprons" in Genesis iii. 7; but unfortunately the title-page of the Old Testament is torn out, together with all that ought to come before Leviti- cus xxiii. I should have attributed the volume to the edition which contained the copy thus advertised in a recent " Caxton Head " cata- logue :
"142 Bible (Genevan or 'Breeches') ...... With
most profitable Annotations vpon all the hard places, and other things of great importance, as may appeare in the Epistle to the Reader. And also a most profitable Concordance for the readie finding put of any thing in the same conteyned, sm. 4to (Apocrypha missing), black letter, double column, marginal notes m Roman Letter, titles within wood- cut borders surmounted by the Royal Arms, old calf, gilt, gilt edges, 15*. Christopher Barker, 1586,"
. , ,
had not the New Testament title-page, which answers to the above description, been " Im- printed at London by | the Deputies of Christopher Bar- | ker, Printer to the Queenes most | excellent Maiestie | 1495." Wherefore a date so astounding ? The preface to Two right profitable and f ruitfull Concordances '
which follow Revelation, and are by Robert;
F. Herrey, is dated 1578, so I can but sus-
pect that the "devil" interfered with the-
chronology. ST. SWITHIN.
BRISTOL SLAVE SHIPS, THEIR OWNERS AND- CAPTAINS. Popular opinion throughout America has always attributed to the ancient English town of Bristol the long-continued as well as the original planting of the negro race on our American soil. What lists, may I be permitted to ask, MS. or printed, have been compiled revealing the names of Bristol slave vessels in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including the names of their owners and sailing masters, also the names of the mercantile firms of Bristol engaged in the slave business ?

BAYLY OR BAILY OF HALL PLACE ANI> BIDEFORD. Can any reader give me infor- mation about a Col. Michael Bayly or Baily, an East Indian officer, living about 1770, probably born about 1710? His grandson Dr. Wm. Bayly Upton, of Cashel, quartered for Bayly these arms : Or, on a fesse en- grailed between three nags' heads erased azure as many fleurs-de-lys of the first. I find
- hese arms were borne by Baily of Hall
Place, Leigh, Kent. But in Burke's ' Landed gentry ' (third edition) the only lineage of this 'amily given is that Farmer Baily, Esq., was father of Thomas Farmer Baily, b. 1823. The same arms, however, I find were borne by Sir Henry Bayly, Knight of Hanover, second on of Zachariah Bayly, Esq., of Bideford. This Sir Henry Bayly was living in 1857. I hall be very glad of any information about hese Baylys. W. P. UPTON.

'TIMES' CORRESPONDENTS IN HUNGARY.
According to Henningsen, the author of the
pamphlet * Kossuth and the Times,' the corre-
pondents of this paper during the Hungarian
var of independence were " a Mr. R , a
>erson named Bird, a Mr. Paton, and a Mr. Charles Pridham." Can anybody kindly give
me the full name of Mr. R ? A. A. Paton
nd Charles Pridham have published their xperiences in book form. Among the Aus-
