as reproduced in the recently published county
history of Aberdeen by Watt, and as pro-
fessedly copied from the great Amsterdam
atlas of 1654 by Blaeu, who was the original
publisher of Gordon's map, the name appears
with one final t. On the other hand, in the
map of 'Scotland, c. 1600,' No. 27 in the
Clarendon Press * Historical Atlas of Modern
Europe ' (1898), which is stated to have been
collated with Blaeu's atlas, the word is
spelt with the double letter, as now used by
the Viscounts Arbuthnott. Both as to the
derivation of the word and the spelling of it
there has long been controversy, and I shall
be glad if any one can give information if
the matter has been authoritatively decided,
and how. G. S. F.

THE DUKERY. Thoroton, in his 'History of Nottinghamshire,' frequently refers to Regist. de Wirks. (see p. 454). I shall be thankful if any reader of * N. & Q.' can sug- gest its present resting-place. I shall also be glad to be reminded of any MSS. or other important matters (except in the British Museum and Bodleian Library) referring to any place in the Dukery, as I have a quarto volume in the press on ' Dukery Records.'

HOLDEN CRUTTENDEN. I should be glad of any particulars concerning Edward Holden Cruttenden, Deputy-Governor of Calcutta, who married in 1746 Elizabeth Jeddere. Their children are said to have been saved from the massacre at Calcutta by the de- votion of their ayah, and their portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds were exhibited in the Exhibition of Fair Women in the Grafton Gallery. Was this Mr. Holden Cruttenden connected with the Mr. Holden who was about the middle of the eighteenth century Governor of Calcutta 1 ?

I 've lived to see how pride may part Spirits though matched like hand and glove ;
I've blushed for love's abode, the heart, But have not disbelieved in love.

I saw a Judas once ;
It was an old man's face. Greatly that artist erred ; Judas had eyes of starry blue, and lips like thine
That gave the traitor kiss.

"BERNARDUS NON VIDIT OMNIA":
"BLIND BAYARD." (9 th S. v. 356, 441, 506.)
I THANK the two distinguished writers PROF. SKEAT and MR. WILLIAM CANTON for their answers to the first part of this query. The former has shown that the " Bernard " was the famous Abbot of Clairvaux, and the latter, in a crisp little note, has given the "story" for which I asked. MR. YARDLEY, quoting from Gibbon, has furnished the original Latin version, which may be read in one of the contemporary biographies of the great mediaeval saint appended to the sixth volume of Gaume's complete edition of St. Bernard's works, as I learn from Dr. Eales's very interesting sketch (' St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux,' London, 1890). From the same source is derived a similar story, mentioned by Erasmus in his 'Morise En- comium,' a translation of which, entitled 'Witt against Wisdom, or a Panegyrick upon Folly,' was published at Oxford in 1683, from which I quote the following words :
"From such ardour of Divine meditation was it that St. Bernard in his study drank Oyl instead of Wine, and yet his thoughts were so taken up, that he never observ'd the mistake." P. 150.
It seems to me that a "proverb" might as easily have been founded on this legend as on the other, such as " Bernardus monachus nqn gustavit omnia," though it would, to my mind, have been as pointless as the one written in the margin of Chaucer's poem. Without pretending to be a Bentley or a Person, I think there can be little doubt that some young monk, working in the scrip- torium of a monastery situated on a pleasant hillside or in a green and lovely dale
Bernardus valles, colles Benedictus amabat wrote, in a moment of distraction, the word omnia for omnino. This supposition would seem to be amply confirmed by Chaucer's own vigorous translation of the sentence :
Bernarde, the monke, ne saugh nat al, parde !*
