Marshall, a translation of Klinger's ' Faust's Leben, Thaten, und Hollenfahrt' under the title of ' Faustus: his Life, Death, and Descent into Hell.' In 1864 there was pub- lished by the firm of W. Kent & Co., of Paternoster Row, a work entitled ' Faustus : his Life, Death, and Doom.' I have care- fully collated the two books, and find that, with a few trivial verbal alterations, they are identical—that is to say, the translator of the book of 1864 did not translate at all, but copied from Borrow's version of ' Faustus,' copying even his errors in trans- lation. There is no reason to suppose that the individual, whoever he may have been, who prepared the 1864 edition of ' Faustus ' for the press, had ever seen either the German original or the French translation of Klinger's book. It is clear that he " con- veyed " Borrow's translation almost in its entirety. Now, on the title-page of the London Library copy of the 1864 version of ' Faustus,' after the words " translated from the German," some one has written the name of Thorns, and the London Library copy of the book has actually added the name of " Thorns " on the cover.* No reader of ' N. & Q.' will for a moment believe that the first Editor of that admirable journal could have been guilty of such a deception ; but perhaps some one can give me informa- tion about the translation of ' Faustus ' that appeared in 1864. As far as the earlier translation is con- cerned, I have good reason for believing that Borrow, although he described the book as translated from the German, had never seen anything but the French version. In none of the editions, it may be added —neither in the German editions of 1791 and 1799, nor in the French translation —was Klinger's name on the title - page, and there is no reason to assume that Borrow knew at the time he made his translation that the book was by Klinger, the author who, by his play entitled ' Sturm und Drang,' gave a name to an important period of German literature. Clement K. Shorter. '.Since the above was written Dr. Hagberg Wright, the accomplished and honoured librarian of the London Library, whose attention I had called to this, informs me that Thoms's name has now been removed from the book, it having been inserted by a clerical error.

The monumental inscription of Sir Antony Kingston at Bath. 3. Information of any kind as to Joseph Wortinge, Clerk, of Gilsborough, Northants. (' Grad.

Charles Dymoke, Champion to Charles I.—Which Charles Dymoke was Champion to King Charles I. 1 According to the pedigree drawn up by Dr. Marshall, Rouge Croix, and printed in Lodge's ' Scri- velsby,' 2nd ed., p. 164, and afterwards inserted in Maddison's ' Lincolnshire Pedi- grees,' p. 1206, Sir Edward Dymoke, Cham- pion to James I., who died 1 Aug., 1624, married three wives, and had six children :— By Katherine Harrington, his first wife : 1. Charles Dymoke, of Scrivelsby, Esq-, son and heir, 1634. 2. Bridget.bapt. 6 Nov., 1597. By Anne Monson, his second wife : 3. Bridget, living 3 March, 1610/11. 4. Edward Dymoke, bapt. 18 May, 1600, died young. 5. John Dymoke. By Mary Poultney, his third wife : 6. Charles Dymoke, of Scrivelsby, only sur- viving son, aged 12 years, 3 weeks, and 6 days, 22 April, 1 Car. [1625]. JEt. 29, 1642. Died unmarried at Oxford, 1644. Will proved 8 July, 1644. Sir Edward's first wife, Katherine Har- rington, and her two children Charles and Bridget, are the only ones named in the records of the Heralds' College. Charles is called " son and heir 1634," presumably at the Visitation of Lincolnshire of that year. If he were living in 1634, he must have been the Champion to Charles I. But was he living then ? And if so, when did he die ? His half-brother, Charles Dymoke of Scrivelsby, is styled " only surviving son," and is said to be " aged 12 years " in 1625, and 29 in 1642. Charles I. was crowned 2 Feb., 1625/6, and this second Charles Dymoke, who was apparently born on 27 March, 1613, would be too young to act as Champion. Burke's ' Landed Gentry,' however, states that he was the Champion. Sir Edward left no will, but administra- tion to his estate was granted 6 Sept., 1624, by P.C.C. His inquisition post mortem would show which of his sons was his heir at his death. Canon Lodge has rather mixed up tho two brothers (' Scrivelsby,' p. 86). If the elder brother were dead at
