This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

8. "* To toQ as in job work^ to labour." Sibb.
also gives doekar in the same sense.

ama daj'a work ia over, at 2d. an hoar." Thoresby,
Baj'a Lett, p. 19S.
4. To truck, to traffick. Loth.
Thia aeems the same word, althooffh ased in various
aenaea. Sibb. thinks that it baa probably been formed
from darg, a day's work. But m what manner? It
may be allied to OaeL deaehair-amt to follow. Thia
etjfinon is tbandantly consonant to the first sense ; aa
•earcKmg ia often designed /ottowmg after, even in
relation to what is stolen. With very little obliquity,
it miffht also inolude the second. As to tiie other two,
the £. 9. is also used to denote one's employment or
occapations aa it is commonly said, "What trade does
he^oMoto/** Flem. daeclser-en seems likewise to claim
affinity, aa sij^nifying to fly aboat, also to vibrate,
volitare, motari ; vibrare, coruacare, Kilian.
It properiy aignifies to deal in a piddling and loose
sort of way ; aa allied ii\ sense to K higgle.
5. To be engaged about any piece of work in
which one does not make great exertion ; to
be slightly employed ; S.
One ia said to daiier in a houm, to manage the con-
oema of a family in a slow but steady way. One daik-
ere %nth another, when there is mutual co-operation be-
tween thoee who live together. They are said to daik-
<r JIme, when they agree so weU aa to co-operate eSisc-
tively, S.
6. To stroll, or go about in a careless maimer,
not having much to do, Bozb.
«' ' The d 'a in the daidlingbody', muttered Jeany
between her teeth; 'wha waid hae thought o' his
daikering out thia length?'" Talea of my LandL 2d Ser.
L 237. '< Daikering, aaunteiing ;" GL
7. To go about in a feeble or infirm state, Ettr.
For.
8. To Daiier on, to continue in any situation,
or engage in any business^ in a state of ir-
resolution whether to quit it or not, to hang
on, S.
«•

something to saw that I would like to see sawn, — and
aae I e'en deUker en wi' the family free year's end to

9. To Daiker up the OcUe^ to jog or walk slowly
up a street, S.
"FU p«y your thousand punds Soots, plack and
bawbee, gin ye'U be an honest fallow for anes, and just
daiker up the gate wi' this Sassenach." Bob Boy, ii.

H seems to mean to /ow ; bnt I have not found it any
when BOtkodp nor ean goees at its derivation. "
In reading the pasaagOp it oocnrred to me that the
natural sense of the term, in the fimt quotation, was
to snok t and I am oonfirmed in this idea from obser-
▼log that it so nearly reaembles the Moea^. v. This
is aadd'jant lactare. Pioi tkaim quUhukaftom Jah
daeUffonnein, " Wo to them that aio with child, and
that give suck." Mar. ziii 17.
The meaning of the first quotation seems to be, that
the^ had no sooner learsed to judfc than they forsook
their mother. In the second, it may without an^ vio-
lence bear the same signification, bis may poetically
be said to suck or dmw her supplies from hSr source,
in allusion to a mother's breast.

"There still remaina in the islands^ thoosh it is
passing fast away, the cnstom of foetenge. A laird,
a man of wealth and eminence, sends his child, eithcnr
male or female, to a tacksman, or tenant, tobe footered.
It is not always his own tenant bat some distant friend,
that obtaina thia hononr : for an honour such a trust is
TBty reasonably thooffht. The teiins of fosterage seem
to Ysry in diflnrent iuands. In Mull, the father sends
with his child a certain number of oows, to which the
same number is added by the f oeterer. The father
appnmriates a proportionable extent of ground, without
• rent, for their pasturage. If every cow brings a calf,
half belongs to the foeterer, and half to the child ; but
if there be onlv one calf between two cows, it is the
child's ; and when the child returns to tiie parents, it
is accompanied by all the cows giTen, both by the
father and by the foeterer, with ludf of the increase of
the stook by propsgation. These beasts are considered
as a portion, ana culed 3faeali»e cattle, ko,
"Children continue with the foeterer perbape six
years ; and cannot, where this is the practice, be con-
aidersd as bordensome. The fosterer, if he gires four
oows, leoeiTes likewise four, and has, while the child
continaee with him, grass for eight without rent, with
half the calves, and all the muk, for which he pajrs
only four oows, when he dismissee his daU, for that ia
the name for a fostered child." Johnson's Journey,
Works, viii S74, S75. V. Macalitb.
Shaw gives OaeL dalian as nsed in the same sense ;
and also renders daliaeh " betrothed." V. Dawtu.
I am inclined to think that this term, like many
others used in the Western islanda, may have had a
Norwegian origin. IsL daeU signifies one's domestic
property; Domesticum familiare proprium. Hence
the proverbial phrase, JDaelt er heitna huori; Quod
tiU domesticum id tibi magis commodum; Dcmua
fr&pia^ domM i^pCisio. Havamaal, apud VereL Ind.
niis corresponds to our Prov. ; ** Heme's ay coothy,
although it be never sa hamely." At thakia daelU vid
ammm ai eiaa; Commodum sibi habere^ in aliquem
agere. O. Andr., p. 44.
DaelU is properiy the neuter of dad, felix, commod«
OS (O. Andr.), mansuetee. We may add daella^
indulgentia, VereL
It may be viewed as a confirmation of this idea, that
the practice of giving out their children to be fostered
was common among the northern nationa. V. Ihr^
also Eddae Gloss, vo. Fodra, Hence perhape the OaeL
term daiiUn, a jackananes, a pappy, as the daU would
be in ^reat danger of oeing spoued, and of course of
assummg airs oi superiority.

DAY| 9. Used as denoting a portion of
tune, tlie extent of which is determined by
the word conjoined with it ; as, A montKs
day^ the q>ace of a month ; A yearU day,
tfaeanace of a year ; ** He has been awa this
wwmws day,** he has been absent for the
space of a month, Aberd.
I am jnclined to think that this phraseologjr had
besa originally meant to limit the term specified, q.
tiactly a month, a month and neither more nor leas.

**Bat wa maon a' liye the dag, and have our dinner ;

Ae. WaTeriey» ii. 280.
As in A.-S. io daeg signifies hodie, whence the E.
term, in IsL Stt.-G. and Dan. the preposition i, sig-
nifying in, is prefixed, i dag, also m LL i deige, I
have not observed anything that exactly corresponds
with our vulgar phraseology. The Belg. most nearly
resembles it, as deezen dag signifies t^day, literally
**ikU dtkj," which is undoubtMlly the sense in which
the article is used in the present instance in S. The
same idiom appeara in the mom, the phrase invariably
used in our venacular language for to-morrow.
DAY Ain> WAY. 1. To make day and way

DAY KOB DOOR. It is said that one can
hear neither day nor door, when a person
cannot distinguish one sound from another.
It is more generally used, I think, to express
the stunning e£Fect of loud noise, S.
Now by this time the house is heels our head,
For se thing some, and some anither said ;
That dag nor door a body cudna hear.

"She*a as deaf as Corra-linn; we canna mak her

— " In a weaven the house wis gaen like Lawren-

This phrase is probably ver]f ancient. But I can
form no conjecture as to its origin.
DAYIS. V. Angus Datis.
Since the article referrecl to was printed, I have been
indebted, among many other obligations, to my friend
Thomas Thomson, Esq. Depute Register, who published
theee curious Inventories from the original in the Re-
cord-0£Bce, for a correction which seems perfectly well
founded. He views this as a corrupted spelling of
Agnus Defs; supposing that the things meant are
*' those little amulets, as one may call them, commonly
made of fragments of the wax uchts used at Easter,
and impressed with the figure of the Paschal Lamb."
From the Diet. Trev. we learn that thejr are often
made in the form of a heart, and covered Mntli a piece
of stuff which is usuallv embroidered. The pronun-
ciation of the term, which seems to have been imitated
by the writer of this Inventory, is like that of hesogne
and Cologne; and may therefore be viewed as fairly
ezprtsned by Angyus, The Pope gives his benediction

This office is different from that of executioner. But
it has been customary for the town of Edinburgh, in
consequence of appomting one to the latter office, to
f nmisn him with an extract of their deed, upon pre-
senting which to the Court of Justiciary, he was
chosen Dempder,
The petition of E. Hay sheweth, that "the office of
DemMer of the Court of Justiciary being now vacant—
and the petitioner being now appointed oy the town of
Edinburgh their Executioner and Lockman, as appears
by the act of Council in his favour, which two 'offices
an oommcmly conjoined, this application is made to
their Lordships, that they may m nleased to appoint
him also Demjtster of Court." Act, Court of Justiciary,

Both aro evidently from CNmL deoch am doruU^ " the

drink taken at tiie door of a house, S*
Franck, in the long aooonnt which he ffivea of tha
ptoaectttion aboat the weU known atory of the Forfar
cow, which drank vp a tab-f uU of wort at a door, in-
trodocea thia term in ita proper aenae. He makee tha
advocate for tha defender reaaon in thia manner ;
" My Lord, qao' he^ thev prodaoe no precedent ; nor
waa it ever known in the kmgdom of Scotland, that a
cow paid a plack for a atandii^^-drink : nay, moro than
that, ahe never caU'd for*t, and Doh and DorU ia the
cnatom of oar ooantiy ; when note, a atanding-drink
waa never yet paid for.'* Northern Memoiza, p. 181.
Thia rale ia atiU invariably obaerved in the town of
Forfar ; aa tha atory aeema mdeed to be credited.
2. Hence it has been used as equivalent to the
phrase ^ stark love and kindness ; ^ the cus-
tom having been introduced as an expression
of regard to a friend at parting, nothing
being charged for the drink, and as denoting
a sincere wish for a prosperous journey to
him, S*
Thia tnmaition may be remarked in the pi'ogiieaa of
Fhmck'a narrative.
He introdnoee the Provoat of the bargh acting aa

horse that's jnst come from the north." Waverley, ii.
123.
It has been saggested by a learned friend, that the
term had prolMd>ly originated from <f o^, the old name
for a pistol, q. dag-heaa. Bat the Scots, in oonseqaence
of their intimate connexion with the French, have evi-
dently borrowed in this, as in manv other instaacee,
from them. They have, at least, adopted the radical
term, merely translating it. For Fr. cAidi, literally a
dog, alio sisnifies "the snaphaance of a pistol," Cotgr. ;
Le. the cock.
Hence, Father Daniel, describing a wheel-lock, aays ;
Far le mtaie monvement le e&im ann4 d'ane pierre do
mine, comme le eUm do f asil Test done pierre a fosil,
etoit on etat d'etre Uch4 dko qae Ton tireroit av«o la
doigt la d<Stente comme dans les pistolets onUnairee ;
alors le cAiea tombant ear le roaet d'acier faisoit feu, &
le donnoit a I'amoroe. VoL L 465. Groee's Milit. An-
tiq., ii. 291, 292.
The passage is thus translated, i. 154, N. '*By tho
same movement the cock, armed with a flint like the
cock ot a fusil, was in a state to be discharged on pall-
ing the tricker with the finger, as in ordinanr piatoU ;
the codt then falling on the wheel, prodaoecl nrn» and
* oommanicated it to the priming.**
It might seem natand to suppooe that the name
had originated from the fancied resemblance of the
hammer of a gnn-lock to tho head of a dog. But the

This woid is much used by the vuknr ; and eeema of

durken and dart may be " chase and afinght."

ENGLISH and SCOTCH, a common game
among joung people, S.
The company is parted into two bands; each of these
is put under the conduct of a chief choeen for this pur-
pose. The bagsage, or object of spoil, lies behind the
line. One of toe leaden advances, defies the foe, and
cheers his troop. On the signal being given, the oppo-
site parties rush forward, and endeavour to seize the
spoiL He^ who is taken within the line, is carried off
as a priaoner, and kept at a distance. He obtains no
lelief from captivity, unless one of his comrades can
touch him ana rstnrn to his own party unmolested by
hia aisailsnte,
" Ths JBnglUh and Seoie used to be played by partiea
of bt^ys, who^ divided bv a fixed line, endeavoured to
poll one another acrooa this line, or to seise, by bodily
strength or nimbleness, a wad (the ooata or hats of the
▼OU IL
plajrers) from the little heap deposited in the different
territories at a convenient distMiea." Blaokw. Mag.,
Aug. 1821, pu 35.
Tnis game has obviously originated from the mutual
incursions of the two nations, in those unhappy timea
when a river or ideal line convorted into enemies those
whose situation invited to the closest ties of friendship.
It is said, that when the artful and acute Elizabeth of
England had any suspicion of the effect of her politics
on the Scottish nation, ahe uaed to inquire how the
boys were amusing themselves. If they were acting aa
soldiers, she considered it aa a proof that it waa tune
for her to arm.

These are below ground, and some of them said to ex-
tend a grsai way. The sides of these subterraneous
mansions are faced np with dry stones, to the height
of about 6 feet, thev are between three and four feet
wide, and ooversd above with large stones laid across.
They may have been either receptacles for plunder, or
plaoee of shelter from the inclemency of the weather,
oefore houses were built, or of concealment from an
enemy.** P. Strathdon, Aberd. Statist. Aoc. xiii.
These snbterraneoua stmcturso are by some called

The deeeription, as has been observed, corresponds
to that given oy Tacitus of the buildings of the ancient
Germans.
The name, in this instance, is the same still used in
Iceland : Jardhuif domus subterranea ; Q. Andr., p.
129. The designation given to a castle, in that inter-
esting country, also bears a striking analogv to a name
still more commonly given in S. to these subterraneona
buildings. Jttrdborff, castellum vallo munitnm, VereL,
i.e. an erd-bttrg. This also illustrates what is said con-
cerning the Pictish Buildings, Disskbt., p. 29. It ia

no doubt that this must be viewc-d as the same with
Um (Angus), only pronounced after the manner of the
more northern counties. It signifies to pain, to tor-
tors ; and is used, precisely in the same connexion.

Dr. Leyden thinka that the term may be from A.-S.
etan, to eat, adding; "hence an aiUkropopkague.
The Bereerlxn of the North were accuatomed, in tlM
parozyama of their fury, to devour human fleeh, and
drink human blood; and hence probably the romances
of gienta and elene, that devound quick men." OL,
p. 882.
But I need acaroely obeerve, that when nouna are
formed from verba, the infinitive termination ia thrown
nway. Beaidea, althou^ in A. -S. there ia an accidental
coincidence in reapect of orthography, between the v.
H'On, and the eubetantive eien, gigaa, it ia otherwiae
in the Scandinavian dialecte. In lal. it ia jatUumt
Jatumt Su.-0. jaite, jeUe ; whereaa laL et-a, and Su.-Q.
aef-€^ aiffnify to eat. Acoordiuj^^, it haa not occurred
to any <» the Northern etymologiata, that there ia the
laaat affinity between the terma. It muat be acknow-
ledged, however, that in Su.-0. the letter • ia aome-
timee prefixed to worda beginning with a vowel, where
it haa no particular meaning. Tnua jaeia ia aomotimen
put for aSta, to eat. In other inatanoea, it ia uaed in-
tenaively, aa ae occaaionally occura in A.-S.
Although the etymon above referred to ia very doubt*
fnl, I have met with none that ia not liable to exoep-
tion. O. Andr. and SpegeL derive jciun from Hen.

FaU and divot are thus distingnisheii in £ig. Fail is
used in building the walls of an earthen house, and
divof for coTering it. The fail is much thicker than the
dhfot, and differs in shape. The divoi differs also from
IcMir or turf, as strictly used ; the divoi being of grass
and earth, and the far/ either of a mossy or heathv
substance^ or partly of both. Sod is properly a thicL
turf, resembling tbe/aiV, not so directly used for fuel,
as for keeping in the fire kindled on a hearth, and
casting forward the heat.
In miilding a waU or dyke ot/ale and divet, it is often
the custom to set the /aU on edge, and lay the dicet
flat OTor the faU.
Rudd. thinks that this word uukj be derivod from
L. B./ocale, whence O. Fr. /ea/Zc, E. fuel; "because
turftB^ the most common kind of fuel in S." But this
word is seldom, if oTer, used to denote iurfs for fuel,
but those employed for some otherpurpose. Sibb.,
with much more reason, refers to ^uL veldt solum,
superficies. But the term seems to assume still more
of a radical form in Su.-G. uxifl, (pron. vail}, grassy

''There were two nlsmea or orders of thoao freakish

The origin of this word is so uncertain, that althoagh
a great variety of hypotheses have been formed, atiU
nothing but conjecture can be offered. Dr. Johnson
derives fairjf from A.-S. ferhth, as if it signified a
spirit. ^ But its proper meaning ia, tho mioa or aoul,
as restricted to the spirit of man. Causaubon derives
it from Or. ^ffpttt Fanni. Skinner mentiona Fr. /^, a
fairy ; but seems to prefer A. -8. far-an, to go, to tra*
vol, because these ciemons were vulcarly beUeved to
ramble abroad, and to lead danoea ouring the night,
Rudd. thinks that they received thia name, either
q. fair folk, because of their aupposed beautv, or
q. faring foOt, for tho reason mentiouod by Skmner.

Mr. Pink, has not explained thie word. But from
the punctuation he has given to this passage, as well aa
the variation of eome words from the reading in M8.,
he seems to have understood/ariiijf as relating to those
wUhin the town.
In edit. 1620, it is :
—By them that within the steering had.
The host saw that thair aehip was brynt, kc
But it is evident that the leaden of the Enffliah
army, which lay without the town, are meant ; tnoae
who had the hoet in till thair faring, or under their con-
duct. It is not said of the hoet or army in general,
that they saw their ship burnt, but of the Teadera.

It doee not appear that A.-S. /ar-an was used to
denote the command of an army. Bat IsL/o^-o, and
Su.-Q. /oer-a, signify to lead. Ihre rendera the latter,
rei ducem esse et anteeignanum ; the very senee the
term/iriajf requires here. Stt.-G. foer^a eU skepp, to
have the command of a ship ; and foer-a an en ekepp"

Tka wealth of onr anceatora ocmaiating principally in
eatUe, the name was naturally tranaf enwl to money,
when it became the medium of traffic; in the aame
manner aa Lat. |ie«shaa been anppoaed to be the origin
of the word peeunkL There may, indeed, be aome
affinity between /e, Alem. /eA-o, and pec-^ f and p
being letters of the aame organs; especially aa m
Moea.-G. the term for wealth or jpoasesaiona ia faihu,
Junina viewa it aa derived from dr. wwt, grez ; Goth.
GL
The term, originally denoting cattle aa the principal
property, wonld naturally bo extended to property of
every kind. Tkia kaa been generally the caae in the
NorUiem lanyiagea. The A.-S. wwd denotea gooda
movaabla and immoveaUe ; Su.-0./ae,facultate8,poa-
nOb enjnaeunqne ^pieris ; Ihre. Id. /ae, pecuniae
a, boBa» theaann, lacnltatea, pecora, armenta;
^erdL Ind. Hence it would easily oa tranaferred to
the property tranamitted to heirs.
I nad anppoaed that thia Goth, term muat be the
origin of L. jft./flo<lMm, fimdum ; and am hi^py to find
that Sonmar ia of the aame opini<m. He denvea it from
/to and kadf a particle denoting quality, instead of
which kood u used E., Keid, S. It may, however, bo
from Sn.-G./ae, and od, poaaeaaia
it aaema probable^ that/oa was originally used to
denote amau eattla ; aa oorreapondiuff to peeys in ita
mora proper aenaa. May not thia be the origin of
Sn.-0. ykar, ovioi for which Ihra can find none ?

Lord Hailes is still Author from the truth in assign-
ing the reason for conferring this surname on Robert
ITT- For, first* it does not appear that he waa ever
called BobeH Femgeir. In Skene's Table of the Kings,
he is designed '* Roberts, sur-named /oAn Fame-geir"
Kor is there the least reason for supposing that thia
name waa not conferred on him till after his death. It
indeed seems to have been given him soon after ■ his
accession. The reason of it is obvious. After he had^
for whatever cause, aasumed the name of Robert, the
people, struck with the sincniarity of the circumstance,
m a ludicroua way called nim John Femueir, because
ho maformerlg named John; literally^ he who tad
gearwBMJohm,
Thia ia not the only instance of the term Femgeir
having proved a stumblin|^-block to the learned.

Belg. rare koe^ a oow that yielda no more millc For
althoni^h it aeema to aiffnify the very reverBO, perhaps
tlia onffinal idea waa, that a cow, that did not carry,
would by degreea loae her milk entirely.

Thia signal baa, however, been need in later times, in
the name of royalty ; even eo late as the era of the last
rebellion.
"The principal signal waa the Cross Tarie or Ftm
Cnm, a piece ot wood burnt or boming at one end, with
a piece cm linen or whit^doth stained with blood hang-
ing from the other. This symbol served two purposes.
It waa sent ronnd the country to call the men to anna^
and it waa meant also to shew what were the inten*
tiona of the enemy, (that ia, to bum and desolate tiie
country), and what would be their fate, if they did not
defend their honour, their Uvea, and their properties.
The cross waa sent round the conntiy from hand to
hand, each person who bore it running at full speed,
shouting aa M went along the war-cnr <» the tribe, and
naming the place of rendesvoua. At each hamlet a
fresh man took it up, ao that an alarm waa ^ven, and
the people assembled with a celerity almost mcredibla.
One of the lateat instances of the Fierjf Cfrose beins
used happened in 1745, when, by the orders of Lord
Breadaloane^ it waa sent round Loch Tay (a distance
of thirty-two miles, in three hours), to raise his people,
and prevent their joining the rebels, — ^but with less
effect than in 1715, when it went the same round, and
when fir^ hundred men assembled the same evening
under the command of the laird of Glenlyon, acting
nnder the orders of the Earl of Breadalbane, to join tha
Earl of Mar.** CoL Stewart's Sketch^, IL App. ix.
This corresponds with the account given 1^ it'isbet ;
which shew tnat the proclamation of the name of the
chief was common throughout Scotland.
" Cries from the place of rendezvousing were frequent
with us, as that of the Homes, A Home, A Home, in-
timating the meeting at Home Castle. The Mackenzies
have for cry, TuUoc&iar; the dan Chatons, Cmi^-poir,
or Craig-oune; and the Grants, Craig-elhchie, Ac.,
which were cries taken from the places whero these
dans do rendezvous, and proclaimed through their
countries by such as wero appointed, carrying a cross
of wood burnt at the end, called a/fvy crou ; upon
which all the vassals and dependents met at the respec-
tive places of their clans ; and the cry continued in
their expeditions, and in action to distinguish their
different troops." Heraldry,. P. iv., p. 23.

Kr. Chalmers has fallen into two erxors here. For
he says 61 Flag, — " an opprobrious name for a woman,
tiie same as fade;** GL It is meant, indeed, as an
opprobrious designation ; but has no connexion what-
soever with Jade, It is merely Flag, a squall, figura-
tiTcly need. Thie is undeniable from the untformxty
of ideas conreyed by all the terms which the satiriat
employs {—storm, winde, fag, fyft^ and pe^.
Thers is another mistake as to the meaning of

with 0. E. FoUL "To FhzU or Foui, to break

2. In one passage, apparently, it shonld rather
be rendered great-great-grand-father, be-
cause of the order of enumeration of de-
grees in the reign of Ciiarles L
— **To the lonaids personeo abonenamit, thair fa-

It cannot well bo snppooed, that tho relation of
grandfather is ezineosed twice in tho descent. On the
oootruy, in a sutisequent enumeration, when Charleo

fdUr. Acts, Ed. 1814, VoL v. 93.
In tho f oUowinff extract there can be no doubt that a
ffreat-^;reat-grand2ather, or father in tho fourth lino
back, IS meant.
Mention iM made of a certain "gnde consuetude of
tho borouny of Finsilton, kepit in all tymo past

Thia ProTcrb oontaina an obeerratioQ founded on

But they must at leaat have meant to say that thoee
whoee minds are under the influence of auperstitioa.
being continually on the watoh, will obeenre many
things aa ominoua or fatal, which are entirely OTor-
looked bv others; and thus produce to themaelTea a
great desl of unhappiness. It may hare been meant,
howeyer, to express something farther, which iM not
leas true ; that God, in hia righteous providence^ often
suffers thoee who neglect a more sure testimony, and
give their minda to omens and superstitious obser-
vancea, to meet with auch things aa seem to confirm
them. Thus he threatena to ekSo$e the defiisioNS of a
diaobedient and idolatrous people^ and to give them
what they seek, aUart/or mm.
Mr. Macpherson on thia word refers to Alem^riaf*
on, to inte^ret. But there seems to be no ainnity.
Aooording to Sibb., "perhapa from Scand. /rocwya,
fama, rumor ; or quasi ^ij^Ato.^' There ia not the leaat
foundation for the latter hypothesis; which is that
given by Ritaon, who, referring to the Prov. already
mentioiked, thus explaina it : *' Thoee to whom thinga
9Mf9Kt/rightfid or ominous, will be *lwra followed by
fiyghtfid or ominoua thinos ; " Soottiah Songs, OL m
mentioning /roMd^ Sibb. nas come nearer to the truth.
For IsL frtlU^ which signifies a rumour, in the plural
denotea oracles^ prophecies, or rssponaes of the dead ;
Edda Saemund. It ia used in the same sense. Land-
namabok, p. 13. This \m very nearly related to our
term ; as it seems primarily to denoto a notion founded
on oracular authority; and in a eecondary senss^ an
omen, or one thing portentous of another. The IsL
term, bv some Northern Etymok^te, haa been
derived from/reg, audio ; impeii. /roe, which ia viewed
as radically the same with Germ, fragen, interrogation.
The connection, indeed, ia very intimate ; a great part
of what we hear being in consequence of interrogation.
With all due deference, however, to the Northern
writers, because of their auperior opportunities of in-
formation, I am much inclined to think that UL/raett^
/rtU, an omen or oracle, ia immediatoly from fratUe,
peroipiob interrtWH relatu aoquiro ; U. Andr., p. 78, and
that ooth are allied to Su.-G. IsL /roecfe, wisdom,

fnarum &cio; Ibid., p. 7d. KeniM hiilogfrtudU to

corresponds to Moee.-G. frath^tui, oognoecer% sapere;
froihi^ sapientia. It was very naturu for an ignorant
people to appropriato the charactor of wudam to thoee
who were supposed to be moet veraant in omens and
portento ; just ss our ancestors used the phrase, a vyM
wf/^ for denominating a witoh. The very term ftitck
has been supposed to have a similar origin. It ia at
any rato amuogoua to IVia. wU-vrouwe^ wUibe tcgfe^

FBUNTEB, FsoNTER, s. A ewe in her

raptioa of FrmmUr. For although hoth tcnna have
fnamiij the aame meaning, it appears to me that they
aave originated from difiermt modes of reckoning the
age of the animal. One would call the ewe a Frunter,
■ aa having entered into her /ourik year, (the Anglo-
Saaona and other northern nations rsckoning the whole
. year firom the winter, when it comment); whilO'
another would denominate the same animal a Thntnier,
aa having actoally aeen three winters only, or lived
three yeara complete. V. THRuyrsB. This also
aooonnto for the different definitions given of Ttcinter,
oaa esplatning it *'a heast that is ftcv years old,**
aaother, "a ewe in her third vear,'*i.e., the second
year heing elapsed, and the third running. I find that
ike Bishop of Dunkeld, who well knew toe force of his
vemaenlar language as well as of the Latin, when he
used the phrase, "fine twhUrii,*' thus renders Viigil'a

Bat thia oonjactnre haa not the leaat probability.
' Fancy might trace thia phran to Isl. /othuatur,

awift. Bot it ia undoubtedly a metaph. phrase bor-
rowed from hantina^ in which the dog pursuee the
track of animala, and ia moat aucceesful, when the track
ia recent i.e., when the footsteps of an animal are aa it
were Aof. In like manner, aportamen speak of the aeat
of a hare being warm, when she haa li^ly quitted it.
Thua, tha expression, fuie hate, primarily refers, not
to tha pursuer, but to the object of puxauit ; wlule it
neceaaarily impUea that the pursuit is begun and carried
on with afi posaible expedition. Thia j^rsae haa aomo
analogy to that of read hand, need in our laws with
respect to one who haa committed alaughter. But it
ia more nearly allied to that of hot-troa need on the
Border.

GEG, Gego. To smuggU the geg^ a game played
by boys in Glasgow, in which two parties are

being denominated the outo, the other ins.
The out$ are those who ffo out from the €Un
or goal, where those called the tns remain
for a time. The outs get the gegg^ which
is any thing deposited, as a key, a penknife,
&c Having received this, they conceal
themselves, and raise the crv, ^ Smugglers.**
On this thev are pursued by the ins ; and
if the geggf for the name is transferred to
the person who holds the deposit, be taken,
they exchange situations, the outs become
inSf and the ins — ocifs.
Thia play ia diatinguiahed from ffg^pjf only by the
uae of the gegg. One of the iiia, who u touched by
one of the otUs ia aaid to be taken, and henceforth
loaea hia right to hold the gegg. If he who holda the
gegg gate in the den, the ouU are winnera, and have
the privilege of getting out again. The ottif, before
leaving the den, ahuffle the gegg, or smugfjlt it ao bo*
twaen each other, that the Uu do not know which per- '
eon haa it.
Becanae he, who ia laid hold of^ and put to the 9000-
tion, ia aoppoaed to deny that he haa the gegg, u he
eacapea witn it he geta out again.
Thia aeema to be merely a corr. pronunciation of IV.
gage^ a pawn, a plefhse, a atake at play. It would
appear that in the Metherlanda, the pronunciation of
the cognate term gagie, meroea^ premium, had been
alao hard.

The song m evidenuy of a data ccmsiderably later
than the reign of Mary s and has been most probably
written about the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Aa tradition ia much dispoMd to antedate events, it is
Bsobable that the writer of the sons had heard that
Uilderoy suffered in the reign of Mry; or he might
use a poetical liberty in assigning him to this am, for

Bitson, however, merely takee it for granted that he
■nllbrsd during the reign of Marv. These lines might
fefsr to Anne of Denmark, which will bring us nearer
to what seems to have been the true date.
Sir Bobert Gordon informs us that, A. 1038, during
the great disorders that prevailed in the northern
oonnfies, James Grant, the son of one of the tribe of
Oranl^ who had been long outlawed, was taken in the
north. " Some of the Marquis of Huntley*s followers

S his sone wes taken, and one of his eepeeiall
associata called John Forbes, who were both sent to
the couneill at Edinbttr|(h, and there hanged, with a
notable thief and notonous robber who was emcuted
there at that time (called £7itfo^y^Mao-Gregar.)*'
. Hist, ut sup., p. 460.
"About this time was Patrick Mapnegar, aliaa Oil*
terop Macgregar (a notorious rebel ana outlawe), with
three of his complyces, taken be the Lord Lome, and
preeented be him to the lords of the couneill. Some
of Giileroy his associata were idso apprehended in
Marr, be one John Steuart, and sent be nim to Eilin-
burgh; for the which caus this John Stewart was
afterwards killed be John Dow-garr, and be UUUroff
hie brother, and other outlaws ofthe Clan-gregar.**
"After divers examinations, John Grant, OUierofft
and John Forbes, with seaven of their complyces, were
hanoed at the mercate crosse of EUlenburgh, as I have
toucned alreadie. Thereafter, the brother of Oitteroy

**€mderof,** he saya, ''and flve other lymmars were

"This John Dugar was the father of Patrick Ger,
whom James Grant slew, as is said before; he did
great skatth to the name of Fotbes, such as the lairds
of Ck>rie, Leslv, and some others, abused their bounds
and plundered their cattle, because they were the in*
strumenta of OUderb^s death.** Ibid., p. i».
"The lords of council granted to the name of Forbea
a thousand pounds, for tdung of tfililervy." lb., p. 71.
There is not anotiier name in Scotland, for which
the aame apology could be made for spoliation, as for
that of BCacgrs^pr. For as the dan had been outlawed
without exception, they had no other means of subsis-
tence. They had also great ground of exasperation

waa the meet effectnal antidote to the inflnence of

Thia ia tha eeamrog or ehamrog worn by Iriahmen in

Fatrick*8 day, in memory of this great Saint.**
Aa amber Deads ara in Loth, called glamer heads, it
haa been anpposed that thia may point out the origin
of the term m qneation ; especially as, in an ignorant
and credulooa age, the electrical power of amber would
be viewed aa the effect of witchcraft. It was believed,
indeed, that witchea generally wore amber beads, be*
cause of their magiou power, and for purposes of
fascination.
It ia, however, a strong objection to this ori^pn,
that although alamer be a term generally used, with
respect to enchantment^ thia pronunciation of tha
word, aa denoting amber, ia confined to one county,
aad parhapa not general thera.
I have aometimea thought^ that thia word might be
from laL gUmbr, splendor. It might seem to confirm
this idea that, aa some Philologists have observed, tha
Heb. word IDTlb lahhai, aaed in Ex. vii. 11, to denote
tha anehantmenta of the Egyptian sorcerors, signifies
aeorat and dose conveyance, or glktering like the flame
of a fin or aword, by meana of which the eyea of men
are daisied.

HUa^iamt benefacara^ thtuihspUloH, evangelizara, thiu*

that the Greeka and Latina, according to the varioua

It may be added, that, beaidea the naa of tba terma
denoting affinity by marriage^ there are other veatigea
among rae vulgar in S. of the Gothic mode of pronounc-
ing the name of God. In theae irreverent exdama-
tiona for jnteaenwUidfi, help, bUamgt which many are
accuatomed to uaa^ they flatter themaelvea perhapa
that there ia no profanation of the divine name, be-
canae the term uaed ia gud, pron. in the aame manner

abanrdi^ of anppoaing, or of acting aa if one anppoeed,
that preaervation, bleaaing, &c., can come from any

gawk aa denoting a foolish person, bat from the bird
whioh bsaia thia name.
Tonng people^ altraeted by the singnlar cry of the
onehoo^ oeinff anxioos to see it, are often Tery
assidwons to ootain this gratification. Bat as this bird
ohanges its place so secretly and suddenly ; when they
think they are inst within reach of it, they hear itsciy
aft a conaidersMe distance. Thvs they ran from
place to places still finding themsclres as far removed
Irom thev ob}ect as erer. Hence the phrase, hunt tKe
CI; may have come to be need for any froiUess at-
nkl and particolar^ lor those Tain errands on
the first day of April
Nor ia it nnlikely, that the costom of sending one on
what ia called a gowt» trramd on the first day of
Apffilf has had its origin, in connexion with what is
mentioned abore^ from the drenmstsnce of this bird's
making its appearance in oor country about the be-
ginninfl of thia month. It is said, indeed, that it is
gnenluy about the middle of April that it is first ob-
•srred. But if wo reduce this to the old strle, itwiU
ftJl within a few days of the beginning of the month :
and it is weU known that it is silent for some short
'time after ite arriTal ; ite note^ which is that of the

OqIomI Pearoe (Asiatic Besearches, u. 834) has
Moved that it is an immemorial custom among the
Khidooe, at a celebrated festiTal held in March, called
the HmU, when mirth and festiTity reign among the
Hindooe of OTcry class, to send people on errands and
"ea^editiona that are to end in disappointment, and
raise a laugh at the expense of the person sent. The
last day ofthe HuU is the general hoUday. This fes-
tiTsI ia held in honour of ue New Year ; and as the
year fbnneriy beoan in Britain about the same time,
Maorioe thinks that the diTcrrions of the first day of
April, both in Britain and India, had a common ongin

Bit had this acute writer tamed his eye to the Sw.

mon in A.-0., as signifying places it is incongmous to

than the proofs brought from Dan. Inre, however,

Tlie enatom of diagniaing now remaina only among

door, anging carola that have aome relation to the
aaaaon, and aaking money, or bread anperior in quality
to thai oaed OB ordinaiy oooaaiooa.
Obo oinmmatanoe in the procedure of the Ojfmrds
■my eppear venr odd. It ia common, in aome parte of
the eonntiy at least, that if admitted into any houae,
■ one of thmn who preoedea the real, carriea a amall
beaon, and aweepe a ring or apace for them to dance
in. Ihia caremonj is atrictly ofaeerved ; and, it has
been anppoaed, ia connected with the vulgar tradition
ooaoenung the light daacea of the Fairiea, one of whom
is always rayeeented aa aweeping the apot appropriated
to their f eativity.
TIm enatom m appearing diiguiaed at thia aeaaon ia
of JUL eat antiquity. A aimilar one prevailed in many
of tne dtiea ot Qanl during the timea of heathenism,
aad was eontinned after the eataUiahment of Chriati-
anity. We accordin^y find that it waa on^ of the
eanoaa enacted by the Uoundl (^ Auzerre in Burgundy,
A. 978^ that no one ahould be permitted, on the odenda
of JanuaiT, veitUa aiU eervoto Jaeere* Some have un-
derwood tneee woida of aacrificing a calf or deer. But
they evidently aignify to aU the eaff or buck, i.e., to
ooonterfeit theee ammala. In a Homily aacribed to
Ihs celebrated Augnatine, Biahop of Hippo, concerning
Ihs ealenda of January, it ia aaid ; " what wiae man
can believe that othera are in their aenaea, who, acting
tile stag; wiah to amume the appearance of wild beaata ?
Some are dothed in the akina ol cattle, othera have the
beads of beaata, raioicing if they can appear ao much

The singmg of eanit ia alao very ancient. The
heathen Bomana obaerved thia cuatom during the Cal-
ends of January. 'Hence it waa prohibited in aome of
the eariy canona of the Church, aa a practice unbe-
eoming Chriatiana. Non obaervetia diea, qui dicuntur

The 8n.-0. term Itdboek has had a dmilar origin.
It ia a aport, in which young people, at the time of
Yvk^ aaaume the akin and appearance of a ram, and
thua run on theae who oppoee them. The word liter-
ally signifies the 6im& or do^ of ra^ •« It ia thia,**
says Inra, " I believe, that fordgn writera call cervuhu,
or t» ceriuhtm m tnuu/ormare ; aa if old aporta were
pro&ndy uaed during thdr aolemnitiea."
On account of the ezceaa to whidi the amuaementa
uaed during thia aeaaon were carried, Pacianua Bar-

ffarmtelnu is by Fsnchet (Origine dee Armes, p. 67)
derived from ItaL area iouxo, or the bow with a hole.
But the Tent name is evidently from kaeek, a hook, and
bu^m, a tube, or hollow body. For the same reason,
this in Sik-G. is called hake-hg$aa^ from hake^ a crooked
point, cuspis incurve, uncus, sad 6jfiMi, Aeetso, tho
name given to fire-arms. According to Ihre, the Ol
Fr. changed this word into kaqtubum^ and the modems
to arqu/Aua ; vo. Hake. But we have seen, that in Ol
Fr. kacquttuJU ia used, which Thierry properly dfrfinee,
sclopus undnatus.

A great rarietj of anneratitioua righta are atiU ob-
aerved on Halloween, Many of theae are particularly
and accurately deaeribed in the Notea to Bunia*a
pictureeque Poem on thia anbject, which it would bo
auperfluoua to tranacribe. Some oi them bear unqnea-
tionable maaka of a heathen orisin ; aa it ia acknow-
ledged that the obeervation of thia day waa borrowed
from heathenism.
Aa obeerved in the Church of Rome, it correeponda
to the Faraiia of the ancient Bomana ; in which they
aacrificed in honour of the dead, offered up prayera for
them, and made oblationa to them. Thia festival waa

There ia one things however, in which the Bomana
differed much from our anceatora, aa to the Festival in
honour of the dead. They reckoned it n time
peculiariy unpropitioua to love. On the contnry, if
we may judge fr:om the cnatoma atill remaining in tbia

reapect ; Uie moot ol the charma that are uaed having

According to the testimony of aome of her own

for the dead from heatbeniam.

Although thia term bo used in tho Laws of E., I
take notice of it, because it has been differently ex-
plained. Spelman, aa Sibb. has observed, explaiuo
kamMken of tho privilege or immunity of a man's own
house, from A.-S. Aam, domus, and socm^, lihertas. It
ia also defined by Rastall ■ ' * Ifomfoken (or Aam mAtn),
that is, to be quit of ameicements for entrynge into
honasa violontlv and without licence, and contnry to
the peace of toe kingo. And that vou hold plea of
such trespas done in your court» ana in your land.'*

Bannlf of Chester, however, onlaioa the term as wo
do^ making it equivalent to kan^fiire. Hanuockne^ vel
kamfart, insnltus factua in domo. Lib. i., c. 50. And
Bracton ; Invasio domus contra paoem IX>mim Begis ;
Lib. iii., Tr. 2, c 23, ap. Spelm.
How, then, are wo to account for these contradic-
tory explanations ? It appears, that the early writers
on tho tS. law had sufferea themselves to be mieled by
the apparent formation of the term. As A.-S. tocne^
toena^ as well as aoCt soca, signify privilege, immunity,
also, the power of holdins a court ; they bad probably,
as Spelman doea, viewed too word as composed of ham,
homo, and aoeme, privileoo. Hence, from the use of
soca in tho same sense, the^ had occasionally changed
the very form of the original word, rendering it
Munsoco.
Sibb. ri^Uy coojeetares, that the original significa-
tion of the E. term wae the same with ours. For even
the learned Spelman haa totally misunderstood tho
anthorities he orings for his explanation.
The first is from the laws of Edmund, c. 6, which ho
thus qnotee; Statuit— ITamsoeoe violatores reboa
omnibus plectendoe, Ao. But in the A.-S. it is : Eae
we cwaedon be mumihryee and kamaoenum, Ac. ;'literally.
Also we say conoeminff fRUNif6ryce and kamaoene ; or,
as in the Lat. version ofLambard, A. 1568, Decrevimns,
nt si quis paoem violarit, aliumqne domo sua manentem
oppuffnarit, Ac. These two words regard crimes neariy
allied, wutmdbrfce denoting tho breach of the peace.
In the A..S. inscription, they are equally uMd as
denominating the cnmea apecifiod in the statute ; Be

naO| it So evident, that tho aeaae of the term haa
been miauprahended bv aome of the moat learned E.
writera, which haa prodnced auch coafnaion in their
definitiona. Bat atul a difilcnlty ooonra aa to tho oae
of thia word in tho & law. Li many old chartera it
ia granted aa a privilege^ ui mtiHtu JU de Bamaoea ;
ited aa a
grantea aa a privilege. I
aearoel7 think that tho former denoted an immnaity
to the aetoal tnn^graaaora, aa thia woold have been a
diapenaation for the crime. Might it aignify an
ezemptiott from paying a ahare m the fiiM which
waa probably exacted by tho king or anperior, from
the diatrict^ hundred, or other diviaion, where
thia crime waa committed, and when the offender waa

tom remained till near the end of the.last

''Among the varioueeuatoma nowobaolete, the moat
ourioua waa that of Hamdlfittukg^ in uae about a century
peat In the upper part of EahdaU, at the coniloenco
of the white and the bUck Eak, waa held an annual
fair, where multitndee of each aex repmred. The un-
married looked out for matea^ made their enmementa
by joining hands, or by hem^JUHnOt went off m pairs,
cohabited till the next annual return of the fair, ap-
peared there again, and then were at liberty to declare
their approbation or dialike of each other. If each
party continued oonatant, the hoHdfidmtj waa renewed
lor life : but if either party diaaentod, the ennigement
waa void, and both were at full liberty to make a new
choice ; but with thie proviaob that the inconatant waa
to take the charge of the ofiapring of the year of pro-
bation.
"This custom aeemed to originate from the want of
dergy in thia county in the daya of poperv : thia tract
waa the property of the abby of Melroee^ which through
flBcoiiomy luacontinued the vicara that were need to
diacharge here the deriod officee : inatead, they only
made annual viaitationa for the purpoee of marrying
and baptiaing, and the pereon thua aent waa called Book
in 6oeoni, probably from hia carrying, by way of readi-
neea, the book in hia breaat : but even thia being omit-
ted, the inhabitanta became neoeaaitated at firat to take
. thia method, which they continued from habit to prac-
tiae long after the reformation had f umiahed them with
clergy.'^ Pennant*e Tour in S., 1772, P. L, p. 01, 92.
'* At that fair, it waa the cnatom for the un-
married pereona of both aexea to chooee a companion,
according to their liking; with whom they were to live
till that time next year. Thia waa called hand-fadimg,
or hand in fist, fto.^ P. Eakdalemuir, Dumfr. Statist.

Whatever might be the particular canae of the nre-
valenoe of thia cnatom in cakdale, it ia evident from
the preceding article, that it had been practiced alao in
the North ofS. It prevailed even in tne Hebridea.
*' It waa an ancient cnatom in the lalanda, that a
man ahonld take a maid to hia wife, and keep her for
the apace of a year without marrying her; and if
•he pleaaed him all the while, he married her at tho
end of the year, and legitimatied the children : but if
he did not love her, he returned her to her parenta,
and her portion alao ; and if there happened to be any
children, they were kept by the mther: but this

extreme anxiety lest tiiey should perish,
when, according to their natural propensity,
they betake themselves to the water.

nia term baa eveiy mark of being originally the
name with E. heromakaw, or ktmahaw^ a heronry. Mr.
TV>dd. blamea Dr. Johna for joining HerontKaw with
Htmrf^ *'aa denoting pbuse, without anv authority."
He baa accordingly aeparated them \ explaining Henw
alow, ''a heron ;^ because Spenser uses kerne-ahaw,
and B. Jonson kenuew, in this sense. But it is a sin-
gular fact that thia word aeema early to have loat ito
original aignification. It had most probably been
formed, in tlie lan^^seof the peasantry, from the
name given to the bird oj their Nonnan Ionia, (for the
A.^ name ia hrctgra), with the addition of their own
oountiy word $kaw, from A.-S. aeua, a shade, a thicket^
a siiaw or tuft. Cotgr. accordingly expL keme'shaw,
a ''aiiaw of wood where herona breed.'* Phillipe and
KerMy give tlie aame interpretation, viewinff hernskaw
and kerHeng aa synon. Skinner unnaturally derives the
last ayllable from fae, q. punue^ the heron being itself
a ravenous bird. Elioto and Huloet both understand
Aeron-esMr aa equivalent to Lat ardeola, a young heron ;
and our anceatora aeem to have had the aame idea,
from their placing sfoy before keronii mwuu

Hence the phran uaed by Rabelais & ii-, o. 11,
aUer d r agMiUan nntnf, rendered by Sir T. Urquhart,
" to go a haudael-getting on the firat day of the new
yeare.**
In England, it ia atiU a common cnatom among the
▼ulgar, to hang up a bnnch of miatletoe on Chriatmaa
day. Thia, in the houan of the greats ia donv in the
aenranta hall or kitchen. Under thia, the young men
aalute their aweethearta. Thia ia eridently a nlique
of Druidiam \ aa the nuatletoe waa beUend to be peeul«
iarly propitioua. It ia cuatomary, I am inlonned,
dunng the aame aeaaon, to adorn enn the churchn
withit. Thia may certoinly be viewed aa a traditionary
Tcatige of ita conaecntion m the wonhip of the ancient
Britona.
Some give thia cry a duiatian origin. Supponng
that it alludea to the time when our Saviour waa bora,
they ima^ne that it immediately reapecta the arrival
of the wm men from the Eaat. It baa been generdly
believed, in the Churoh of Roms that then wen thm
in numbei; and that they wen kinga or rtgmH in thdr
own conntiy. Thua, the language aa borrowed from
the Fr. baa bnn rendered ; amrnrnt eM ni, Tni» rois
aUoU; *' A man ia born, Thm kinga an come."
Trolotaff baa alao been reeolved into Tnia roU Id,
"Thm kinga an then."
Aa many of the cuatoma, in Popiah countries en
menlv a continuation, or alisht alteration of then that
have oeen uaed during heatheniam, it ia only to carry
the conjectun a littK farther, to auppon, that, after
the introduction of Chriatiani^, the drnidical cry waa
chanfled to one of a aimilar aound, but of a di&ient
aignincationl The atrong attachment of a people to
their ancient cuatoms baa, in a variety of inatimces
been reckoned a anfficient ezcun for thia dangeroua
policy, which ntained the aupeiatition, while it manly
changed the object, or the name.
The night preceding Tule was by tho Kortliara
nations called Bbgffu^Kftt, or SogemU, Thia may be
literally nndered» tke siawfkier^miQkL The name ia
auppoaed to have originated from ttie great multitude
of cattls which wen aacrifioed on that nigfatb or
alaughtered in pnpantion for the feaat oi the fwlowing
day.
Although the origin of thia term ia quite uncer*
tain, ens oager to bring everything to the Gothic
atandard, misht find htnmlf at no lorn for an ety-
mon. One of the cupa drunk at the feaat of Yum,
aa celebrated in the timea of heatheniam, waa called
Minne. Thia waa in honour of deceaaed rdations who
had acquired nnown. The word Mimie or JluuU
aimply denotea nmembrance. V. ifind^ v. Aa our
Gothic anceatora worriiipped the Sun under the name
of 7*Aor, and gave the name of Oel to any feaat, and l^
way of eminence to thia ; the crv of Ifogimmap TnMag
might be conjecturally viewed aa a call to the cele-
bration of the Feati%*iu of their great god ; q. ffoffg
minni! Thor oel! cell "Remember your aacrifiom :
The Fcaet of Thor I The Feast !"
Bat eo wide is the field of conjecturs that I ahould
not wonder althouch aome might be diapoaed to trace
thia term to Hercuiea. For we learn from Lucian (in
Hen.) that the Gaula called him Ogndmt. V. Bochart.

ftr the way I may obeerve^ that it is asmgnlar cir-

Mid Mrish by the orders of one of the name of Brwr,
Tto accoont given by Bceoe, has, at least, more
endibility than many others that have proceeded from
the pen of Boece. roidan assigns a reason for the de-
iJgnSoB still lees credible. While he ascribes the
imk to Julias Gnsar, he says that» as Arthur, king of
the Britonsi when he rseided in SooUand, used often,
u§Ui$ rtparied^ to visit this phMse for the sake of re-
meatioo. it was thence by the valgar called Arthur**
Mom. Sootichr. lib. ii, c 16. * .
ICany readers will be disposed to i»refer a hypothesu
diftrent from either of these. It is anqaestionable,
that many Boman encampments in this country are by
the volgar ascribed to the Danes ; for no other reason
fthsa beoaose their invasions were of a later date than
Hioae of the Romans. In like manner, it appears that
after the romantic histories of Arthur came to be
kaowB in this coantry, his name was imposed on several
placsa which Arthur himself never saw.
Doodaa^ in his translation of Viigil, calls the con-
stallaaoaAfetaras, Arthwr^M Ht{fe, 85. 42, and in this
d^gnatJiT" seems to allude to that building which had
been so long famous in 8. For At/e is evidently the
same with hoif. Now Boece and Douglaa were con-
ftempomrita, the History of Scotland bemg published
only fiveyears after the death of the Bishop of Dun-
kela. Even previous to this era, the Scote seem to
have b^^ to aoqoire a taste for these Bomanee$ well
known m other coantriee. V. Barbour, iii. 73. 437 ;
Wallaee^ viu. 844. 885. 96^ Arthur beinff so much
celebrated in thess works, the principle of imitation
would induce them to feisn eome memorials of him

Mr. Pink, has observed, seems rightly to imtgme tliat
ift is thia to which Barbour refers. Mr. Pink, has also
observed, m proof of the eariy diffhsion of the fanw of
Arthur through ScotUnd, that the royal paUce at Stir-

It may be added, that, before the age of Barboor,
the fame of Arthur was so much revived, that Bdw.
III. of Engbmd, in the year 13U, reeolved to institate
a new order of knights, who were to be denominated

the reason of this deetgnation in later timee. ** Danag
the government of Henry the Third," he says, ''.the
juBi assumed a different appeUation, and- was ^ed
the Boutf D Tablk Oaks ; this name wae derived from
a fraternity of knighte who frequently justed ^th
each other, and accustomed themselvee to eat together
in one Mkartment, and, in order to set seide all distmc-
tion of rank, or quality, seated themselvee at a oreu-
Ur table, where every phMW was equally honouraWe.
InaKote on the word /esc, it is observed : '* Blatthow
Paris property distinguishes it from the toomament.
Nou kautUwlio, quod tomeamentum dieUur, oed^imio
militdri, qui mensa rotunda dkUur. Hist Ang. sub
an. 1252.* He adds ; " In the eighth year of the reign
of Edward the First, Roger de Mortimer, a noblcmsji
of great opulence, estoblished a round table at Kenel-
worth, for the encouragement of military putimes;
where one hundred knights, with as many ladies, were
. entertained at his expense. The fame of this mstitutoon
occaaioned, we are told, a great influx of foreigners, who
oain« «ther to initiate themselves, or make eome pnUic
proof of their prowess. Aboutseventvyeanafterwanu,
Edward the Third erected asplendid table of the same
kind at Windsor, but upon a more extensive scale.
It contained the area of a cirole t#o hundred feet m
diameter; and the weekly expence for the maintenance
of this table, when it was fint established, amounted to
one hundred pound8.^The example of King Edward
was followed by Philip of Valois king of France, who
also instituted a round table at his court, and by^
means drew thither many German and Italian kmghts
who were coming to England. The contest between
the two monarehs seems to have had the effect of de-
stroying the establishment of the round tame m both
kingdoms ; for after thia period we hear no more con-
cerning it. In England the rouml tabU was succeeded
bytheOrrfcr«/<A«fl«aiier,"*c, Sports and Pastimes,
p. 109, 110. , ,. ,-
If Hardyng were worthy of the least credit, wewoald
be under the neceesity of assigning a very diflerent
reason for these designations.- But it wonld anpear
that, as this writer dunng his traveU through SooUand,
found the name of Arthur attached to different pbocs,
he was determined to assign him a complete eoversignty
over this kingdom. He acconlingly gives a very par-
ticular account of the perambulations of this pnnoe ;
and seto up his Round TabU in many parte of the
coantry where there is not a vestioe of hie naine.
This, doubtless, was one of the powerful argnmento by
which he meant to prove that Scotland was merely a
fief of the crown of JSngUnd—

Aa Arthar waa ao mnoh celebrated in S. when Bp.
Hwmlaa wvotiL and oron before hia time, it may be
Bippoaad that ha ao far complied with tho hnmoar of
tho ago aa to aivo him i^plaoo in the hoarena. On tho
mnnd of AAnr^a oolebniy, he miffht jad^ that tho
Mtiah hero had aa oood a claim to Siia diatmction, aa
Giaar had to tho coleatial honour of the Julittm Sidtu;
omoiallj aa the name Arehmu waa prior to tho other.
tt aagr indeed bo anppoaod, that, in thia conntry,
aamo of tho monka, who were Tenant in the fablea of
Q00A7 of Monmonth, had rendered the Lat. name of
the conalillation Arthur** hnf, out of compliment to
tho momofy of Arthnr 1 and that when tho aesignation
OBBo to bo need among the Tnlgar, the^, finding that a
flaco eabhtatod in tho hiatory of their country waa
callad^filhit^ibrf^, had at firrt conjoined the term hoi/
with that of Atihut, It mav aeem to favour thia
OQ^foetn% that Donglaa naea this aa if it were a name
ommny wwl known with that of CharUwaine^ or tho
Ammud; aa it ocenn in difierent jMrta of hia tranala-
tiQB» to oonnerion with other deaignationa generally
inoaiTod. V. AHk^9 H^ft, and Virgil, 239, b. 9.
Bnt tho pfiadpal objection to thia idea ia, that it ia
aol oadly cQaceivabla how tho constellation should be
'ttomd aa n koff^ hall or temple^ withont an allosion to
Iho *— <M*"^ to iHiich Axthars name was latterly given.
WhotlMr, thoieforob it bo anppoaod that the name
itfUnr^f Ao{f waa impoaed by Edw. I., or borrowed by
of oor own conntry from booka of chivalry ;
Omk^ doaa not oeenr to anv of onr old writings. Hence,
it ia moat probddo that it waa gradaally sntotitated, in
Iho montha of tho vnl^pir, lor the former designation ;
aithor fkom tho aimilanty of aonnd, or from the resem-
Uaaoa of tho bniHing itaelf to an oicen, as being of a
dnnlor lorai, or poiily from both ; especially aa the
tarn koffhm been nadnally ^ing into disuetade, and ia
'mow no nnaer nara in ito onginal and proper sense.
I havo niloB toto n mistake in aupposinff, that the
idea of f^^ing * place to tho heavens to Arthnr had
originataa witn the Biahop of Dunkeld. Lydgate, in
Ua JbUqfPrineu, K viii., c 84, speaks of this aa an
aatfOttomieal fact well known m his time. He calls
Arthnr th§ aemM^ Lo., aon, of Bretoyn.

Thia anperatition alao prevaila in Sweden. Hence,
thia haa received the name of aegtrkufwa, literally, tha
Aow or tbif of victory ; " becauaa," aaya Ihre, " from

diflaiant aenasa. laL hmamU denotes one who haa a

laL SnatuU, bondi, and bande, are merely the part.
pr, of teb bu-a, to dwell, to inhabit. The term is ac-
aardingly somatimea written boende, an in Heims Kring.,
L 17& Hera it aaactly rstaina the form of the
paitiaipla.
A.«aL bttmd, buenda, colonua, agrioola, ia perfectly

with hM»-bonda; altho'o^ the one designation was bor-
rowed from the dwelling, the other from the land sur-
rounding it.
In Sweden, the term Bcnde, about the time of the
introduction of Christianity, was so honourable an ap-
pellation, that thoee who ooro it wero admitted into
alliance with the royal family ; and afterwards none
might be elected a Biahop or a Lagman, but the son of
a Sonde ; becanae the children of those who attended
on the court were not reckoned worthy of the same
confidence. Every Bcnde, even so Ute as the reign of
GustaTua Adolohua, might be formally admitted into
the rank of noblei^ if he appeared in fiul armour at the
wapentake. It was only in consequence of the rank of
nobility being more coveted in later timee^ that the
name il Bonae sunk in its signification.
The term became gradually lem honourable, till at
len^ all who resided in the conntry, whether they
cultivated their own lands or those of others, came to
be known by this name ; with thia limitation only,
that they were distinguished according to the descrip-
tion of toe lands they possessed. V. Uire, vo. Bonde,

The definition I hava given of thia term has been
charged with inaccuracy. Had this been done merely
en wumnU, or in the conrae of conversation, I might
either hava overiooked it entirely, or passed it veiy
slightly. But as this haa been done formally in our
C(mrta of Law, as the charve haa been exhibited even
before the Supreme Court <n the United Kingdom ; I
reckon myseli bound to consider it more fully than I
would otherwise have done. This I do^ not merely for
my own vindication, and from the influence which such
a charge, if not refuted, may have on the general
credibui^ of my work, especially in legal matters ;
but firom a regard to justice, as this alfogation may
afterwards be urged, and made the basis of erroneous
decisions aa to profwrty of the same description, to the
essential injury of individuab.

But he haa not one word concerning the Heretfdd,
True, it ia, that Skene ^peaka of the hnabandman'a
aubjeotion to thia aaaeaament in the place referred to.
But it ought to be obeerved hera^ that thia very aub-
iection involvea a proof that he who had a huaband-
land waa in a atate auperior to that auppoaed. The
phraae, kie beat auekt, could not be well ^plied to a
man, who, aa Sibbald, (on whoee authority conaiderable
atreaa ie laid in the Petition,) haa fancifully auppoeed,
had butaaingleox. " It aeema to have been common,*'
he eaya, (vo. IkuoaekeJt "for eight huabandman to dub
• OH ax a piece to mdce up thia formidable draught."
In the account here ffiven of the extent of ane
dawaek of land, it ia made to be femr oxengaMg only.
Thia ia founded on what Skene himedf haa aaid, vo.
ITerreyeUo. But in a later work he aeema to coned
hia miatakfl^ making a dawaek or davaia to be four
plougfaa, aa in the worda quoted above. He adda, that
othera make theae double plougfaa, equal to eight com-
mon onea ; aubjoining, " But local uae or cuatom mnat
be attended to." And it can eaaily be proved beyond
a doubt, that a davata terrae couaiated of four plougfaa
atleaat.
In what I have eaid, vo. ffuebamUoMd, Iquotedfrom
the eecond edition of Skene^ De Verb. Sign,, A. lAML—
in which the worda "twentie eex aikera,*' in full, appear
twice.
Having obeerved that, in Murray of Glendook'e
edition S thia work, the Arabic character 6 ia aulK
atituted for "twentie-aex " in Edit. 1599; and anp-
riing that Sibbald muat have quoted from Gleudook,
atiU found m^lf at a loaa to account for Um
reaaon of the venation. For, althou^ it could eaaily
be auppoaed that the figuro 2, preceding the 6, might
faave dropped out in the preaa, it waa acarody eup-
poeeable that auch an error could faave oocurred.
wfaero the aame phraae waa twice printed at foil
lenjp[th. I am now, nowever, enabled to account for the
di£forenoe in a way perfectly aatiafactory. Qlendook
had given hie reprint of the work />e Verb, Sign, from
Skene*e firat ed. of 1597 ; and in thia the Huabandland
ia limited to aix acrea. But, from tfae uae of the
Arabic numeral, thia wpa moat probably an error of the
preaa, in oonaequence of 26 oeingwritten, indiatinctly
perhapa, in the author'e MS. Thia aeema the moat
reaaonable wi^ of accounting for the remarkable change
in the edit, of 1599, in which we read twentie eex in faxL

This term, in ecclesiastical courts at least, is now
generally used in an improper sense. In consequence
of a decision, any one who has interest in the court,
is said to iabe uuintmenU, either when he means to
dedair that he claims the benefit of that decision, ami
▼iewa the bosinea as finialied, or as ccmfirming a pro*
tost entered M;aiiist its validity. As it is customary
in either of these cases, to throw down a piece of
money to the clerk of the court, it is generally under*
stood that he iaie» m»irunuHt$, who gtvea this money.

word imjdiea that one ia constant at work,
while employed in it, aa contrasted with one who
trifles whue pretending to work. Jauking is opposed
to it
Bndd. derives it firom A.«a dM, eatfy ; or rather
from ffeihean. Germ, pecf^en, Belj^ ifedjfen, to grow,
to flourish. The origm is 8u.-0. IsL !(/««, laborious,
industrious; tt/to, idia, employment labour,
industry ; whence idM-a, to be assiduous : idl horn id,
work, business, exercise.
8u.-0. kikeiig, from the same origin, immediately
from tett-o, to exereiee, signifies not merely diligent
but continual ; as^ idkeliga pmo, continual pain ; IsL
kUliga betwar, continual tabours, ideUk, continually.
The V. in Su.-0. is icf-a, also k/-<ml Idin may be

impoesible for the oars to keep a quick time : the words
generally have a religious turn, consonant to that of
