IQUIQUE IN THE SEVENTIES (see ante p. 27). I was in Iquique in 1873, and well remember the gruesome aspect of the graveyard outside the railway station at time. Europeans, I amongst them, suffered greatly from dysentery, fever and ague. My windows looked out on a sandy waste dotted with hummocks, each crowned with a primitive wooden cross, or, more often, an upright strip of corrugated iron with a name painted on it. On crosses and iron alike sat loathsome turkey-buzzards, and the outlook for a sick man was very depressing.

The future Colonel North, if I rememberrightly, was then merely locomotive-superintendent on the railway, which was run by

in 1694 or 1695 (Exchequer Bill, James v. James and Swanzy, June 13, 1732). He married before Dec. 1, 1709, Mary, sister of his Cornet Ralph Wildman, daughter of John Wildman, of Skeagh, (by Elizabeth Colkin), and niece of 1696. Thomas Wildman, High Sheriff, Не died about 1753 (Exchequer Bill, Swanzy v. Scott, Feb. 4, 1778), will dated Nov. 29, 1750, proved in diocese of Clogher, Nov. 19, 1754, executors John James, of Drominikin, and Mr. James Swanzy, of Avelreagh, Clontibret. By his wife, who survived him, Samuel Swanzy had, with a younger son Wildman (see 1756 list), and a daughter Elizabeth, wife of John Lyon, an elder son, William, of Coolatty,. Churchwarden of Drumsnatt, 1740, and Clones, 1764, who had (by a wife whose name has not been ascertained), four sons and a daughter,. viz. :-(1) Samuel, of Coolatty, married at Drominikin, Jan., 1767, Isabella, sister of Christopher Bredin, of Rice Hill, Co. Cavan, High Sheriff Co. Cavan, 1797, and daughter of Isaac Bredin, of Ennismore, Co. Cavan, by Christian, daughter of Christopher Wright, of Drumloo, Co. Monaghan. Marriage dissolved May 26, 1768. (2), Henry, of Tullyvallon, Co. Armagh, married Mary Goure. (3), James. (4), William. (1), Margaret, married, Clogher marr. lic. bond, May 7, 1764, her cousin, Robert James, of Mount Lewis, Co. Monaghan (see Henry James, 1715 list). Samuel Swanzy acted as agent to his brother-in-law Ralph Wildman (Exchequer Bill, McMahon v. Wildman and Swanzy, May 18, 1727).

[The compiler feels that an apology is due for this, and some future references to his own name. The researches which have resulted in these notes naturally at first dealt with his own and kindred families. They afterwards extended rather further afield. The sources of information are now destroyed, and he thinks it wise to put on record anything that has been rescued from that catastrophe].

its owners, the brothers Montero with disastrous results. I had only been an hour ashore when a train ran into some trucks loading stone on the single line. Three passengers were killed, and hastening to the scene with Henry Ross, the head engineer, we met the Scottish driver, who panted out, Its not my fault; they want to kill me. He ran on, got off to a sailing ship, and was never seen again in Iquique.

Some months later, a train consisting of two double-tender Fairlie engines eighteen nitrate cars, took charge down the 5% track, and leaving the rails, plunged some 1,500 or 2,000 feet into the sandy plain beneath. As each car carried a brakesman and anyone who liked used the trains for purposes of travel, the death-roll amounted to between thirty and forty. The driver of the leading engine was decapitated-his head being found on the rocks above, his body down below. Possibly he was one of the two Britishers whose names are given in your correspondent's letter as having died in 1873.

WATER WORKS, YORK BUILDINGS.-It is a well-known fact that one of Newcomen's earliest "fire engines was at the beginning of the eighteenth century at work in York Buildings, Adelphi, where it pumped water for the supply of that neighbourhood. Until I came across the subjoined passage and illustration in William Thornton's History and Survey of London and Westminster,' I was under the erroneous impression that the wooden water tower shown on Buck's view stood at the end of the street now called York Buildings. The passage in question reads as follows (my italics):—

Between the Adelphi Buildings and Hungerford market are several streets which go under the name of York buildings; and so called from a house antiently situated here belong ing to the archbishop of York. This house afterwards coming to George duke of Buckingham, he disposed of it to builders, who converted it into streets and alleys, in which his name and title are still preserved: they being called George-street, Villars-street, Dukestreet. Of-alley and Buckingham-street. At the bottom of these streets, next the river, is a very handsome terrace walk, planted with trees, in the center of which is a beautiful stone gate to the stairs. This gate is of the Tuscan order, ornamented with rustic work; and was designed by that celebrated architect Inigo Jones. At the east corner is a high wooden tower, called York Buildings Water works, erected for raising water for the supply

of that neighbourhood. The company to whom it belongs were incorporated by act of parliament in the year 1691. (P. 455).

There is no date on the title page of the book, but the last name in the Complete List of the Mayors of London from the Beginning to the Present Year' is that of Curtis and the year of his office 1796. Facing p. 455 there is a full-page View of the Stairs at York Buildings, London, with the Water Works and a distant prospect of Westminster Bridge.' It shows the referred to, also Inigo Jones's water-gate, thẹ handsome " terrace walk, with the trees stairs leading up into Villiers Street the high wooden tower which stood at a point in Villiers Street, close to the present railing enclosing the Embankment Gardens.

ROYAL INSTITUTION SCHOOL, LIVERPOOL (1819-1892). For some years I have been working on a Register of this School, the materials for which are very imperfect. For some periods no lists at all are extant; for others they are unclassified. In many, if not most, cases the bare surname is recorded without any initials to aid identification. The worst gap is from 1851 to 1868, i.e., when the famous headmaster, Dr. Dawson Wm. Turner, was at the height of his powers. Other blanks are from 1874 to 1877 and 1891-2.

JOHN M'LEOD CAMPBELL : FRAGMENTS OF TRUTH. Could any reader give me information about a work entitled Fragments of Truth,' which was published in 1852, and went through four editions, the last of which appeared in 1898 ?

It is reputed to be recollections of the sermons of the Rev. John M'Leod Campbell, D.D., Minister of the Parish of Row, who was deposed for alleged heresy in 1830.

Having been recently engaged in a thorough study of the career of Dr. M'Leod

Campbell, the only mention that I have seen of Fragments of Truth' in connection with him is by Rev. Dr. H. F. Henderson of Dundee, in his chapter on the Row Heresy in The Religious Controversies of Scotland,' Even in the introduction to the work it only professes to be "Recollections noted down by different individuals," and the sole Those men suggestion of their source is whose teaching it is attempted thus to preserve.' The teaching is thoroughly characteristic of Dr. Campbell. At the same time, one who is rather an authority on the subject said to me he had his doubts " about

the work.

read and enjoyed the work. Dr. Henderson says that Charles Kingsley I have searched and through Charles Kingsley's Life,' some other books of his, and cannot discover the reference. If any reader could give the reference I should be very much obliged. W. F. BELL.

GEORGE OFFOR'S COLLECTION OF ENGLISH

BIBLES. At 12 S. xi. 469, I quoted from an editorial note at 2 S. ii. 389, a reference to

the great collection of early English Bibles in the library of George Offor, Esq., of Hackney." Does this collection still exist?

George Offor was a correspondent of N. & Q.' in its early years. I think that his first note (a reply) appeared 1 February, 1851 (1 S. iii. 89). His name occurs in the indexes of later volumes.

Davidson (a Clan Chattan name) and became Governor of Heriot's Hospital, Edinburgh. To test the truth of the tradition- -was there a Governor of this Hospital named either Mackintosh or Davidson? If so what is known of his ancestry, history, and descendants? E. ST. JOHN BROOKS.

DYCHE, D. AUGUST, 1719.-The D. N. B.' has an account of the Rev. Thomas Dyche, who in 1708 was keeping school in Dean Street, Fetter Lane, but some time after 1710 obtained the mastership of the free school at Stratford, Bow, and says:

Dyche seems to have died between 1731 and 1735." Vincent's Dict. of Biogr.' says he died in 1750. He is presumably, therefore, to be distinguished from the Dyche, mentioned in The Whitehall Evening Post for some date in August, 1719 (not 1619), quoted by Malcolm ('Anecdotes... of London . during the 18th Cent.,' 2nd edn., 1810, I, 406-7) thus:

Yesterday died Mr. Dyche, late Schoolmaster to the Charity Children of St. Andrew Holborn. He was a strict Nonjuror, and formerly amanuensis to the famous Sir Roger L'Estrange. It is said he wore a piece of the halter in which parson Paul was executed (in the rebellion of 1715, for carrying arms against the King) in his bosom and some time before his death had made a solenin vow not to shift his linen till the Pretender

was seated on the Throne of these Realms. There are accounts of Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704) and the Rev. William Paul (1678-1716) in the D. N. B.' It would be interesting to know further particulars (including the Christian name) of the Dyche who died in 1719.

WILLIAM HICKEY: CHARLOTTE BARRY: PORTRAITS WANTED. -Can anyone give information about the following:

portraits of William Hickey is believed to have been given to Miss Hickey, a sister, living in St. Albans Street, London.

A second (whole-length) portrait of Charlotte Barry and a third portrait of Willian Hickey, painted by Thomas Hickey, in India, about 1784.

A miniature of Charlotte Barry, painted by Cosway in December, 1781, and a miniature of her by Engleheart. No date given.

An engraved portrait of William Hickey. This was apparently a private plate. A copy framed and glazed was sold at the sale of Thomas Haviland-Burke's engravings at Christie's, 21-28 June, 1852.

William Hickey (born 1749) came home from India in 1809, and lived at Little Hall Barn, Beaconsfield, in 1810, and perhaps longer. He died in Little King Street, St. Pancras, in 1830. It is possible that some of these portraits came into the possession of Thomas Haviland-Burke, print collector, and great-nephew of Edmund Burke, who lived at 27, Gloucester Place, New Road (now probably 225, Marylebone Road), London.

MANOR ROLL OF BRAINTREE, 1678.-It appears from a parchment measuring 111⁄2in. by 7in., which came out of the Phillips Collection, that in 1657 Henry Johnson became tenant of Beadles in the manor of Braintree. Upon his decease, in 1678, his nephew John Johnson prayed to be admitted tenant in his place. The operative part of

the document is as follows:
