{379} _Noli me tangere_ (Vol. ii., p. 153.).--In addition to the list of artists given by J.Z.P. (p. 253.), BR. will find that the subject has also been treated by-- _Duccio_, in the Duomo at Siena. _Taddeo Gaddi_, Rinnucini Chapel. _Titian_, Mr. Roger's Collection. _Rembrandt_, Queen's Gallery. _Barroccio_. An altar piece which came to England with the Duke of Lucca's paintings, but I cannot say where it is now; it is well known by the engraving from it of Raphael Morgen. B.N.C.
_Chimney Money_ (Vol. ii., pp. 120. 174. 269. 344.).--There is a church at Northampton upon which is an inscription recording that the expense of repairing it was defrayed by a grant of chimney money for, I believe, seven years, temp. Charles II. There is also a tombstone in Folkestone churchyard curiously commemorative of this tax. The inscription runs thus-- "In memory of Rebecca Rogers, who died August 29. 1688, Aged 44 years. "A house she hath, it's made of such good fashion, The tenant ne'er shall pay for reparation, Nor will her landlord ever raise her rent, Or turn her out of doors for non-payment; From chimney money, too, this cell is free, To such a house, who would not tenant be." E.B. PRICE.
_Passage from Burke_ (Vol. ii., p. 359.).--Q.(2) will find the passage he refers to in Prior's _Life of Burke_, vol. i. p. 39. It is extracted from a letter addressed by Burke to his old schoolfellow Matthew Smith, describing his first impressions on viewing Westminster Abbey, and other objects in the metropolis.
