CHARLES DICKENS AND DISSENTERS (11 S. v. 461). Having read with interest what MR. JOHN COLLINS FRANCIS says concerning Dickens and his Nonconformist critics, I should like to quote the experience of my childhood. My father, the late Rev. Samuel G. Green, D.D., was for many years the President of the Baptist Theological College united in work and friendship with repreat Rawdon, near Leeds, where he was closely sentative Free Churchmen like the Rev. C. M. Birrell of Liverpool (father of the Right Hon. Augustine Birrell), the Rev. Dr. Rev. William Medley, and so forth. Among Alexander Maclaren of Manchester, the such men, the "fine flower" of Nonconformity, I have every reason to believe that Dickens was generally honoured and beloved. The fact of his satirizing a certain mixture of unctuousness and ignorance which did exist in dark places here and there was really welcomed by them, and I have heard my father seriously assert that even the proceedings at the "Brick Lane Branch of the United Grand Junction Temperance Association" were not an outrageous caricature of things he had known! The drawback attending all satire is that the public accepts as typical, what may have only a local and partial fidelity to truth. I shall never forget what a treasure the stout brown original edition of David Copperfield' was in my College home, nor what excitement was occasioned by the arrival of the second volume of Martin Chuzzlewit' in its red dress, a tantalizingly EXECUTION OF LORD RUSSELL (11 S. v. long time after the first! My father had 439).-In Notes on Books' I see that loved Dickens dearly ever since his boyish Sir Laurence Gomme has doubts about the days at Mr. Hoskins's school, Camberwell, part of Lincoln's Inn Fields on which Lord where the monthly parts of Pickwick' were Russell was beheaded. The following quo always read aloud on their appearance. tation seems to make the point clear :-~ He liked to trace the constant quotations from Dickens that naturally slipped into the public press; he knew his characters intimately, and delighted in them. On the other hand, I still recall the bitterness with which a minister of a different type, the Sunday after Dickens's death, hissed out in a country pulpit abuse of one who never ceased to sneer at and vilify religion." This, of course, was utterly untrue, as far as the spirit of real religion went. 66 а I have always thought the picture of "Little Bethel" in 'The Old Curiosity Shop' counted for much in the resentment of certain Dissenters against Dickens. It will be remembered that this sanctuary, not far from Tower Hill, was approached by narrow and crooked ways, and that the contrast to the broad thoroughfare leading to the parish church was frequently used as parable by its pastor, a small gentleman, by trade a shoemaker, and by calling a Divine.' Now an old Baptist conventicle, situated at the north-west corner of Good man's Fields, Whitechapel-Zoar Chapelis supposed to be the original of this "Little Bethel," especially as in 1840, when The Old Curiosity Shop' was published, there was an occasional preacher there who was also a shoemaker. No doubt, as was his wont, Dickens caught at this one fact, and his imagination proceeded to work it up into fantastic shapes thus causing intense annoyance to any who thought they identified the description. The chapel is now demolished. LILY WATSON. NOTTINGHAM AS A SURNAME (11 S. v. 169, 237, 276, 373).-From a record of the Court given at Westminster, forming part of the interesting collection of charters and documents relating to Derbyshire now at the Public Reference Library at Sheffield (No. 123), it appears there was a William Notygham (sic) of Derby in 1407.

"MARCHING REGIMENT " (11 S. v. 389). -Under date 29 Sept., 1779, the burial of Mr. Edward Whitfield Woodcock is entered in the West Haddon (Northants) Register with the following note appended : Lieutenant in a Marching Regiment. Buried in the Chancel, rather the nearest to the north side wall." JOHN T. PAGE. The Lord Russel...... was on the day following, viz., Saturday the 21st of July, Beheaded in Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Can any one supply me with the source of the following passage?— “As I was riding out of London this morning, It may be in one of the publications of the 'THE SHOTOVER PAPERS ; OR, ECHOES FROM OXFORD' (11 S. v. 409).—The editors of The Shotover Papers number, viz., my late husband (Mr. F. S. were five in Pulling of Exeter), the late Mr. E. B. IwanMüller of New College, Mr. Gordon Campbell of Exeter, Mr. F. G. Stokes of Merton, and the late Mr Morrison of Queen's. “Maid Marian was the pseudonym used by Mr. Pulling. EDITH L. PULLING. The following communication (dated 1 June, 1910) from Mr. Francis Griffin Stokes to The Saturday Review may be useful to A. B. B.-J. : SIR,-In the obituary notice of the late Mr. E. B. Iwan-Müller which appeared in The Saturday Review last week, it is stated that my old friend was associated with Mr. Gould in the production of The Shotover Papers' while at Oxford. This, however, is not the case. May mystery which seems to have gathered around I be allowed, once for all, to clear away the the origin of the periodical in question? The Shotover Papers (Oxford, 1874-1875) were planned, written, and edited by E. B. IwanMüller (New College), Gordon Campbell (Exeter), F. S. Pulling (Exeter), W. E. W. Morrison (Queen's), and myself (Merton). No other person was directly or indirectly associated with the editor," but publication. It had in reality no for copyright purposes my name was registered in that capacity. I am, Sir, yours faithfully, FRANCIS GRIFFIN STOKES. I have copied the above note from The Saturday Review on the chance of its supply. ing the desired information. F. J. HYTCH, ELEVENTH SERIES-VOL V. SUBJECT INDEX.
