"Epitaphium Lucretiæ.
Dum foderet ferro tenerum Lucretia pectus
Sanguinis et torrens egrederetur: ait,
'Accedant testes me non cessisse tyranno
'Ante virum sanguis, spiritus ante Deos.'"
Balliolensis.
M‘Dowall Family.—More than a century ago there was a family (since extinct) of the name of M‘Dowall, in the county Cavan, Ireland, belonging to some branch of the ancient and noble Scottish family of that name, who had migrated to these shores. Perhaps some of your readers could inform me as to what branch they belonged, and when they settled in Ireland, as also if there be any pedigree of them extant, as I am very anxious to learn something of them at all events?

Arms of Geneva.—Will any of your correspondents oblige me with a technical blazon of the arms of the town of Geneva?
