JOSIAH CATO.
5. Holland Place, North Brixton.
[Fosbroke, in his Encyclopædia of Antiquities, vol. i. p. 397., has given some curious notices of the early manufacture of this useful article. The art of glass-making was known to the early Egyptians, as is fully discussed in a Memoir by M. Boudet, in the Description de l'Egypt, vol. ix. Antiq. Mémoires. See also the Encyclopædia Metropolitana, vol. viii. p. 469, which contains many historical notices, from a neat and concise sketch published by Mr. Pellatt, of the firm of Pellatt and Green, whose works are scientifically conducted on a scale of considerable magnitude.]
Eustace.
—Was Eustachius Monachus ever in Guernsey?
MORTIMER COLLINS.
[It is very probable. Some of the crew of this renowned pirate were captured at Sark. See Michel's Introduction to the Roman d'Eustache le Moine, 8vo. 1834, where copies of most of our records, and of the passages in our early historians, in which Eustace is mentioned, have been collected with great care.]
Mas.
—I inquired what was the meaning of Mass Robert Fleming, and I partly answer my own question, by saying that Cameronian preachers were so styled, or rather Mas with one "s" before their Christian names,—as Mas David Williamson, Mas John King: see John Creichton's Memoirs. But I ask again, how the title arises, and whether it is short for master?
