The ancestor of the family was a French-
man, a Roman Catholic, and godson and
secretary to Lord Der went water. I have a
pedigree of the earlier members of the house
and of such of the later ones as are ancestors
of my own. Such biographical details as I
also have are at MR. SMITH'S service, if he will
communicate with me concerning those per-
sons about whom he desires information.

CHARLES LAMB AND 'THE CHAMPION'
11 S vi. 442 ; vii. 12). Solomon wrote the
Guide to Health.' "An entire, new and
elegant edition, in one pocket volume, with
an elegant portrait of the author, price only
3s., of that interesting publication entitled
'Solomon's Guide to Health,' published by
Mathews, 18, Strand, and all Booksellers,"
was advertised on 3 January, 1801, with an
"extract of the character given of this work in the
Sun, Star, Courier, Albion, Times, Daily Advertiser,
Morning Chronicle, and most of the literary journals
in Europe. We have the satisfaction of announcing
another edition of Dr. Solomon's incomparable
' Guide to Health,' a book which has met with the
most extensive sale of any medical production
we ever heard of. The best and most approved
remedies are pointed out for the various disorders
on which it treats, as well as directions for general
health, highly interesting to persons of every
denomination."

COL. PRIDEAUX will find all the epigrams
transcribed by him from 'Poetical Recrea-
tions of the Champion ' (9 th S. vi. 442) in the
collected edition of Lamb published by
Moxon in 1876, with Mr. Percy Fitzgerald's
name as editor (vol. vi.). I am afraid it will
need further evidence than the initials

" SMOUS " (9 th S. vi. 409, 493). This word very uncommon. I had met it only in Macklin's comedy until recently. In 'South African Recollections,' ch. ii. (1899), Mrs. Lionel Phillips says, "Even the wandering Smouse' had not penetrated so far." Did she get the word from Macklin 1

WELSH MANUSCRIPT PEDIGREES (9 th S. iv.
412, 483; v. 109, 358). Permit me to add to
my contributions on this subject. I am in-
debted to Mr. Edward Owen, of the India
Office, for information respecting another
most valuable MS. (Harl. 1969) which is
written in precisely the same form as Peter
Ellis (Harl. 28,033 and 28,034), Harl. 2299,
and the Hengwrt MS. (in the Peniarth
jibrary), and is clearly derived from the
ame source or from the same authorities,
uite a distinct set of authors from that of
The Golden Grove Book,' David Edwards,
ic. Harl. 1969 is very superior to both 2299
nd the Hengwrt copy, inasmuch as it con-
ains many additional references, but it is
ot so valuable as Peter Ellis, which contains
many more. On the outside of the former-
over of this MS. is written " G. H. Welsh
nd some English pedigrees, written by
Griffith Hughes 95 25 5/1969, 15/V B." It
ontains about 600 pages, and some other
MSS. are bound up with it. It has tables
