DENTON Shoreditch, Dec. 11. 1849. * * * * * ROGER DE COVERLEY. Sir,--In No. 4 of your "NOTES AND QUERIES" it is asked, if any notice of the tune called _Roger de Coverley_ is to be met with earlier than 1695, when it was printed by H. Playford in his _Dancing Master_? I am happy in being able to inform your correspondent that the tune in question may be found in a rare little volume in my possession, entitled "The Division-Violin, containing a Choice Collection of Divisions to a Ground for ...the Treble-Violin. Being the first Musick of this kind ever published. London, Printed by J.P. and are sold by John Playford, near the Temple-Church, 1685, small oblong." I have every reason to believe, from considerable researches, that no earlier copy can be found in print. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. * * * * * MINOR NOTES. _Omission of the Words DEI GRATIA from the new Florin._ Ruding, in his _Annals of the Coinage_, iv. 9., furnishes a precedent for the omission of the words DEI GRATIA from the coinage, in the case of the Irish half-pence and farthings coined at the Tower in 1736-7.
