NOTES AND QUE1RIES. [11 s. ix. JAN. 31, wu.
It may be added as a curiosity that there
was advertised in The Boston Gazette of
13 March, 1721, as " Just Published, The
Mount Hope Packet. And News from the
Moon, both to be sold by Benjamin Gray,
Bookseller." ' The Mount Hope Packet '
was, no doubt, ' A Letter from a Gentleman
in Mount Hope to his Friend in Treamount,'
a political pamphlet. ' News from the
Moon ' was a reprint of "A Review of
the State of the British Nation, Vol. 7.
Numb. 14. Page 53. Tuesday, May 2.
1710." This precise description proves that
the Boston reprint of 1721 was from the
Edinburgh edition, as the paper in question
formed No. 15 of the London edition of
vol. vii., and was dated 29 April, 1710.

WM. NORMAN.
I have read with much interest the notes
on this subject printed in the columns of
<N. & Q.,' and most of the articles and
letters to which the various contributors
have referred. It is, perhaps, worth men-
tioning that * The History of English
Patriotism,' by Mr. Esme Wingfield-Strat-
ford (John Lane), contains more out-of-
the-way information on art and literature
than any other book known to me. The
chapter on ' Patriotism in Art ' (pp. 240-61
of vol. ii. ) deals very exhaustively with the
work and influence of such English painters
as Dobson, Beale, Riley, the Gandys, High-
more, the Richardsons, Dandridge, Knap ton r
Wilson, Hudson, Hogarth, Hayman, Lam-
bert, Wootton, and Scott, not to mention a
host of well-known artists, from Reynold*
to Whistler. BENJAMIN TRAVERS.

SMITH : NAME IN THE VASCONCELLO& FAMILY (11 S. .viii. 510). It was with some trepidation that I read MB. ALBRECHT'S courteous invitation to solve a Smith problem, and my satisfaction was considerable on discovering information which I trust may be acceptable in spite of its incompleteness. According to the family pedigree, Jose- Ignacio Paes Pinto de Souza e Vasconcellos (born 1767, d. at Oporto 1831), who was a Councillor of State, married twice. Hi* second wife was Mary Tusten Smith of Ulster, where she was born 2 July, 1785. She died 23 June, 1886, at Fortaleza, in Brazil. Their son, or one of their sons, was named Jq.se Smith de Vasconcellos,. born at Lisbon 1817, died at Rio de Janeiro in 1903. There are no further details given about the Smith family. " Ulster " is rather vague, but at present I can add nothing. LEO C,
Perhaps the following may be of interest- About the year 1870 onwards there was a firm of merchants in Liverpool in the Brazil trade styled J. S. de Vasconcellos & Co., the senior partner being an Englishman named Joseph Smith, who, it was said, for financial services rendered to the Portuguese- Government, was created a Portuguese baron, with the title of Barao de Vascon- cellos. There was another partner his son, I fancy called Leopoldo-S. de Vascon- cellos. I well remember seeing the family driving on Sundays from their residence a suburban villa near the Prince's Park called Ceara House to the Roman Catholic Pro -Cathedral, Copperas Hill, Liverpool, in an open pair-horse landau, with coachman and footman in a rather gorgeous blue livery with silver lace and white-looped cords. The firm afterwards failed, when the partners retired to Brazil, I believe.
