tells us that "a Russian has never more than one Christian name, which must be always that of a saint." To these a patronymic is often added of the father's name, with the addition vich, as in the case of the present Czar, Nicholas Paulovich, the son of Paul.

Pedigree to the Time of Alfred (Vol. viii., p. 586.).—Some ten or twelve years since I was staying at the King's Head Inn, Egham, Surrey (now defunct), when a fresh-looking, respectable man was pointed out to one as Mr. Wapshot, who had held an estate in the neighbourhood from his ancestors prior to the Conquest. He was not represented as a blacksmith, but as farming his own estate. I am not connected with Egham or the neighbourhood, or I would make farther inquiry.

Palace of Lucifer (Vol. v., p. 275.).—If R. T. has not observed it, I would refer him to the note in the Aldine edition of Milton, vol. iii. p. 263., where I find "Luciferi domus" is the palace of the sun (see Prolusiones, p. 120.); and not, as T. Warton conjectured, the abode of Satan.

Monaldeschi (Vol. viii., p. 34.).—Relation du Meurte de Monaldeschi, poignardé par ordre de Christine, reine de Suède, by Father de Bel, is to be found in a collection of curious papers printed at Cologne, 1664, in 12mo. It is given at length in Cristina's Revenge, and other Poems, by J. M. Moffatt, London, printed for the author, 1821.

Anna Lightfoot (Vol. vii., p. 595.).—T. H. H. is referred to an elegantly printed pamphlet called An Historical Fragment relative to her late Majesty Queen Caroline, printed for J. & N. L. Hunt, London, 1824, which, from p. 44. to p. 50., contains a very circumstantial account of this extraordinary occurrence.
