Chapter D: E. B

Leamington.

_Hodgkins's Tree, Warwick._--In the plan of Warwick, drawn on Speed's Map of that county, is a tree at the end of West Street, called on the plan "Hodgkins's Tree:" against this tree is represented a gun, pointed to the left towards the fields.--Can any of your readers furnish the tradition to this tree pertaining?

O. L. R. G.

_The Doctor, &c._, p. 5., one volume edition.--The sentence in the Garamna tongue, if anagrammatised into "You who have written Madoc and Thalaba and Kehama," would require a _k_ to be substituted for an _h_ in _Whehaha_. Query, Is this the proper mode of interpretation, or is there a misprint?

_Saheco_, p. 248.--What name are these composite initials meant to represent? The others are easily deciphered. Should we read _Saneco_=Sarah Nelson Coleridge?

J. M. B.

_English Clergyman in Spain._--I am anxious to discover the capacity in which a certain clergyman was present with the English army in Spain early in the eighteenth century (probably with Lord Peterborough's expedition). Can any readers of "N. & Q." refer me to any book or record from which I can obtain this information?

D. Y.

_Caldecott's Translation of the New Testament._--I have a translation of the New Testament by a Mr. John Caldecott, printed and sold by J. Parry and Son, Chester, dated 1834. It is entitled _Holy Writings of the First Christians, called the New Testament_ (the text written from the common version, but altered by comparing with the Greek), with notes. I shall be glad to know who Mr. Caldecott was or is? and whether the edition appeared under the auspices of any society or sect of Christians?

Bridgewater.

_Westhumble Chapel._--There is a ruin of a chapel in the hamlet of Westhumble, in Mickleham, Surrey. At what time was it built? To what saint consecrated? and from what cause was it allowed to fall into its present ruinous and desecrated condition?

J. P. S.

_Perfect Tense._--In Albités' "Companion" to _How to speak French_, one of the first exercises is to turn into French the following phrase, "I have seen him yesterday." I should be much obliged to MR. J. S. WARDEN (to whom all readers of "N. & Q." stand so greatly indebted for his excellent article on "Will and Shall"), if he would state the rule for the use of the perfect tense in English in respect to specified time, and the _rationale_ involved in such rule.

C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY.

Birmingham.

_La Fleur des Saints._--To Molière's _Le Tartufe_ (Act I. Sc. 2.) occur the following lines:

"Le traitre, l'autre jour, nous rompit de ses mains Un mouchoir
qu'il trouva dans une _Fleur des Saints_, Disant que nous mêlions,
par un crime effroyable, Avec la sainteté les parures du diable."

Can any of your readers inform me what _Fleur des Saints_ was? Was it a book? If so, what were its contents?
