“Sir Hilary charged at Agincourt.”—­Your correspondent B.H.C, who, at Vol. ii, p. 158., inquires after the author and answer to this charade, might leave easily ascertained that the author was the late Mackworth Praed, and that the answer is “Good-night.”  I believe your correspondent has been guilty of some verbal inaccuracies, which makes the answer appear not so pertinent to his version as it really is; but I have not the original at hand.  Some few years ago, the charade appeared in a Cambridge paper, with a story about Sir Walter Scott having sent it anonymously to Queen Adelaide.  This was contradicted, and the real author named in a subsequent number of the newspaper, and a metrical solution given, amongst others, of the charade, with which, though I believe I could recollect it, I will not trouble the Editor of “NOTES AND QUERIES.”  I think the charade first appeared in a cheap periodical, which was set on foot by the parties concerned in Knight’s Quarterly.

“Sir Hilary charged at Agincourt” (Vol. ii., p. 158).—­This enigma was written by the late Winthrop Mackworth Praed, and appeared in Knight’s Quarterly Magazine, vol. ii. p. 469.:  whether solved or soluble, I cannot say.

May I here express my concurrence in an opinion expressed in a very recent number of the Examiner, that a collected edition of Mr. Praed’s poems is wanted?

Unicorn (Vol. ii., p. 136.).—­King James I. abandoned the red dragon of Henry VII. as one of the supporters of the royal arms of England, and substituted the unicorn, one of the supporters of the royal arms of Scotland.
