NOTES AND QUERIES. uo s. v. FEB. 3, im.
your readers tell me where I can find a list
of the clergy who joined in the petition to
Parliament, under the leadership of the Rev.
F. Blackburne, at the "Feathers" Tavern in
1771, for obtaining relief from subscription
to the Thirty-Nine Articles 1 Manning took
a prominent part in the movement.
I should also be glad of references to his literary work and life, beyond what can be found in the preface to the * History of Sur- rey,' the obituary notices in The Gentleman's Magazine, Nichols's * Literary Anecdotes and Illustrations,' and Coles's MSS. in the British Museum. PERCY MANNING.

WILLIAM ETTY. This R.A. died in 1849. Where can I obtain information as to his brothers and their issue ? Through his mother, nee Calverley, Etty was descended from Anne of Exeter ; hence the query. He was one of ten sons, and had at least one niece, Mrs. Bennington (? of York). There was some correspondence on the Ettys in the First Series, but nothing bearing on ray point. RUVIGNY.

SALTONSTALL OF ROGERTHORPE, YORK. Samuel Saltonstall, of Rogerthorpe (Thoresby 's
- Ducatus Leodiensis '), who was probably
living about 1700-40, had issue by his second wife Richard, William of Leeds, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Anne. Is anything known of their descendants? RUVIGNY.

REV. RICHARD HOLLAND. Can you or any of your readers give information regarding the parentage and offspring of the Rev. Richard Holland, M.A., of both Cambridge and Oxford, born about 1656, died 1706 ? He is believed to have come from Leicestershire, and to have been admitted a sizar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, 13 March, 1670/1 ; was chaplain to the Duke of Richmond, and had been at one time curate of St. Magnus' and lecturer of All Hallows the Great, London. His name appears in the ' D.N.B.'(vol. xxvii. p. 155); and in Foster's 'Alumni Oxon.' he is described as
"of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, incorporated M. A. at Oxford 15 July, 1679 ; rector of St. George's, Stamford, co. Lincoln, 1681-91 ; licensed (V.G.) 19 June, 1686, to marry Elizabeth Quarles, of Stamford ; rector of Sculthorpe, co. Norfolk, 1683; and of East Mersey, co. Essex, 1703 ; author of five sermons published'1698-1702."

"SUPERMAN." Will such a clumsy fabrica- tion be given currency by the dictionaries ?
It already passes through the press without
even the mild protest indicated by quotation
marks. One is allowed to infer that it is
intended to mean not a superhuman person,
but merely a superior person. This is a new
use of super in a compound word, and has no
advantage over its equivalent in the mother
tongue. A. T. M.
[Our correspondent seems to be unaware that "superman" is a direct translation from the German Uebermenscli, brought into prominence by Nietzsche.]
