I should mention, that Signor Carbonelli was a celebrated violin player, and a favourite pupil of Corelli. He was brought over to this country by his patron, the first Duke of Rutland.

Minor Notes.
Note for Mr. Worsaae.—At page 204. of The Danes in England, Mr. W. says:
"Towards Glasgow and Edinburgh the mountains are no longer called 'fell' and 'rigg.'"
The Campsie Fells, a fine range of hills within nine miles of Glasgow, are an exception. These hills are never spoken of by the natives of the strath except by the name of "fells" and the singularity of the name has often been remarked to the writer of this note, especially by visitors to the valley. Before being much acquainted with the deeds of the Vikings (except in the general), he had come to the conclusion that the name must be Danish, from its similarity to "Fjeld," with which, in connexion with "Fiords," he had become familiar at a very early period.

Singular Epitaph.—The following epitaph occurs in Braunston churchyard, Northamptonshire:
"To the Memory of William Borrows, Died 1703.
"'Tis true I led a single life,
And Nare was married in my life,
For of that Seck (sic) I nare had none:
It is the Lord; his will be done."
