.Herbert's wife, and several of their children.
Thomas and Dorothy Herbert had a large

apparently the eldest, was, by Frances his
wife, father of John Richardson Herbert,
President of Nevis, and of Mary Herbert who
married William Woolward, Esq., of Nevis,

ANSTIS : LE NEVE: ARDERNE (12 S. vii.
189). I am indebted to NOLA for tact-
iully calling my attention to the misprint
Anstie for Anstis, the reference in 'The
Great House,' cap. vii, being to John Anstis
the Elder, 1669-1744, Garter King-at-Arms.
He published a Register of the Order of the
Garter with an Introduction, upon which
Beltz drew largely, and as a high authority
upon the subject of collars and badges he is
frequently quoted by J. G. Nichols the
editor of The Gentleman's Magazine at the
date of the novel.
I* believe that there were four Le Neves all antiquaries, William, Peter, Oliver and John, but the reference is to Peter Le Neve 1661-1729, Norroy King at Arms, 1704, whose Account of the Christening of Edward VI. (extracted from Leland) was printed in The Gentleman's Magazine in 1842. Many manuscripts of his exist, and his ."* Pedigrees of the Knights made by Charles II.,
James II., William and Mary, and Anne,' was
published by the Harleian Society in 1873.
John Arderne's work, very ably edited with an introduction by Mr. D'Arcy Power, is in the London Library. Its authority has often been quoted for the Crecy origin of the Ostrich-feather badge, but the passage has, I think, been wrongly taken. That origin seems to me to be definitely negatived by the fact that the badge was used by the Black Prince's father and brothers, and J have little doubt that it was derived from Philippa of Hainault. I am inclined to think that ' Ostrevant ' was a second title of the Counts of Hainault, and there may be a play upon words. STANLEY J. WEYMAN.
John Anstis, b. 1669, d. 1744, was "Garter" in 1718 being joined in the office by his son John. The elder published several heraldic works including 'Register of the Order of the Garter,' 2 vols, vol. 1724.
