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. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

If y  learned  friend  Archdeaoon  Kares,  in  his  valuable

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

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. 

Notwithstanding  the  change  of  letten  of  the  same 
Offi^pm,  we  recognise  the  BCoes-O.  term  in  A.-S.  ItM,

"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.

a  familiar  term  with  their  nearsst  neighbours,  the

tfaeanace  of  a  year ;  **  He  has  been  awa  this

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

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 
Jadge,  and  interrogating  tha  woman  who  proaecated 
the  owner  of  the  cow. 

"  He  demanda  to  know  of  her  how  the  cow  took  the 
liqnor,  whether  ahe  took  it  aitting;  or  if  ahe  took  it 
standing?  To  which  the  brewater  wife  anawerod, — 
The  cow  took  it  standioc.  Then,  qao'  the  ^vvoet. 
yoar  een  [ain]  worda  oonoemn  ye ;  to  aeek  aatiafaction 
for  a  standing  drink  !  This  annihilates  the  oaatom  of 
Doh  and  DorU,  For  truly  sike  another  iU  precedent

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

By  an  intelligent  ooneapondent  of  that  countjr,  it  ia 
snppoaed  that  thia  muat  be  the  word  which  Train  haa 
given  from  E.  Dictionary,  in  the  form  of  Dallop, 

— Withont  a  lash,  without  a  snag. 
Or  efea  saddla  on  the  naff,

Aa  E.  daUop  denotea  a  tuft  or  dump  of  trees,  tha 
term  could  scarcely  be  used  in  thia  sense.  In  regard 
to  the  first  part  of  the  word,  there  can  be  little  doubt 
aa  to  the  origin.  For  aa  in  the  Goth,  dialects  Dal  is 
the  general  term  for  a  valley,  C.  B.  d6l  Bi|^fies  con- 
vallu,  "a  dale,  or  mead  through  which  a  nver  runs ;" 
Owen.  The  source  of  the  last  syllable  is  far  more 
doubtful.  In  the  same  language  ob  signifies  **  a  going 
oat»  a  going  from.**    Or  can  thia  be  oorr.  from  laL

is  considered,  by  the  superstitious,  as  tanta-

are  therefore  carefully  shut,  in  order  to

This  woid  is  much  used  by  the  vuknr ;  and  eeema  of 
great  antiquity,  as  being  most  probably  the  same  with 
Isl.  daeende,  which  bears  precisely  the  same  mum. 
Daeende  waei,  ezceUentiv,  doe  waenn,  very  beautiful, 
eximie  formoeus ;  from  daa,  an  old  primitive,  or  par- 
ticle, denoting  any  thing  good,  worthy,  or  exceUent. 
V.  O.  Andr.,  p.  44.   Ihre,  vo.  DannemcuL    V.  Dakdzk. 

The  only  passage,  that  I  have  met  with,  in  which 
tins  term  seems  to  occur  in  O.  E.  is  one  in  P.  Phragh- 


And  when  I  ee  it  was  eo,  sleaping  I  went 
To  wsme  Pilatus  wife,  what  done  man  was  Jesus, 
For  Jewel  hated  him  aod  hane  done  him  to  death.

This  does  not  seem  to  be  an  error  of  the  preee ;  mm 
the  eame  word  occurs  both  in  the  first,  and  m  the  ne- 
oond  edition.  I  can  scarcely  think  that  it  is  used  in 
the  same  sense,  as  in  the  line  following ;  as  if  it  denoted 
one  of  whoee  preservation  there  was  no  hope.  It 
eeems  most  naturally  to  aignify,  excellent,  surpassini^  ; 
corresponding  to  the  sense  of  Su.-0.  daRMmoji,

The  latter  part  of  the  word  seems  to  be  oorr.  from

auppose  a  very  tautolodcal  compoeition,  to  neolve  it 
into  "thorny  bramble.'

As  dnm  signifies  sullen,  melancholy,  s^rKa  may  be

Fife,  Loth.  Where  ground  is  let  for  sow- 
ing flax,  or  planting  potatoes,  a  small  por- 
tion of  grain  is  thrown  in  to  mark  the  limits 
on  either  side ;  sometimes  a  stake  is  put  in, 
or  a  few  stones.  To  either  of  these  the 
name  of  dule  is  given,  as  being  the  boundary. 

According  to  the  old  mode  of  husbandry,  in  the 
Trf^thiana  at  least,  the  dung;  made  by  the  eottare,  was 
laid  on  ground  prepared  by  the  fanner  for  barley,  or 
what  was  denominated  the  beer  land;  and  they  had 
the  crop  of  bariey  aa  the  compensation  for  their  dung.

*EOO.  One  of  the  childish  modes  of  divina- 
tion, nsed  on  HalloWen,  S.  B.,  is  to  drop 
the  white  of  an  egg  in  wine,  or  any  pure 
lianid.  According  to  the  form  that  the 
snostance  assnmes,  the  fnture  lot  of  the 
person  is  nnderstood.  If  a  fine  hindscape 
with  trees,  Ac,  appears,  as  interpreted  by 
the  lively  workings  of  an  excited  fancy, 
one  is  fated  to  enjoy  a  country  life :  if  high 
houses  and  steeples  meet  the  eye,  it  is  to 
be  a  town  life. 

Melted  lead  it  dropped  in  water,  in  the  Weat  of  S. 
€Q  the  tame  evening.  Althoo^  I  do  not  reooliect 
that  any  partionlar  rtaaon  ia  attiflned  for  it;  there  can 
bo  no  donbt  that  it  haa  origimSly  been  done  with  a 
aimilar  intention.

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

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.

pretty  generally  through  the  Northern

Am  traaaferrsd  to  thunder,  it  is  evident  that  the 
term  ia  nsed  Tory  <^liqaely.  The  well-known  effect  of 
thnnder  in  the  air,  however,  seems  to  have  suggested 
to  onr  ancestors  the  idea  of  some  sort  of  resemblance

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

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 
moat  probably  to  an  ertKe  hotue  of  this  description  that 
Thomas  of  Eroildone  alludes.  Sir  Tristrem,  p.  149,  aa

In  some  parts  of  S.,  at  least,  this  name  is  appropri- 
ated to  the  Golden  Eagle,  or  Falco  Chrysaetos,  Linn. 

'*The  golden  eagle  used  formerly  to  build  in  our 
rocks,  though  of  late  it  has  discontinued  the  practice ; 
but  we  have  a  visit  of  them  annually  for  some  months ; 
they  are  commonly  known  among  the  shepherds  by 
the  name  of  the  earn,  a  visit  of  wmch  among  the  flock 
is  dreaded  as  much  as  that  of  the  fox."  P.  Campsie, 
StirUngs.  Statist.  Ace.,  zv.  323,  321. 


2.  The  osprey ;  Falco  haliaetus,  Linn. 

Holland,  after  mentioning  the  EgUl  as  Emperour, 
says : — 

Ernie  ancient  of  sir  Ungis  that  croanid  is 
Next  hii  Cebitttde  fonnth  aecound  appeid. 

HouialM,  \L  1. 

It  is  accordingly  observed  by  Bun.  Jonas;  Em 
Scotis  est  grande  genus  aoci^itrum.  Diet.  Island,  ad 
Calo.  Gramm.  IsL  Many  writers,  indeed,  have  classed 
the  osprey  among  hawka. 

The  term  is  general  in  the  Northern  languam.  A.-S. 
earn;  Moes-G.  arane ;  Belg.  am,  arrstf  ;isl.  aiim, 
oemt  cm,  Su.-G.  oern^  ant.  am;  Lapland,  ame,  Sw. 
otm^  properly  denotes  the  golden  eagle.  Faun.  Suec.

in  nominativo  speciali,  artn,  whence  oerUf  according  to 
G.  Andr.,  p.  15.  Alem.  artn^  arin^  id.  Am^  avem

The  oeorey,  Su.-G.  is  kaf-otm^  i.e.,  the  sea  eagle. 
Hence  indeed  the  Linnean  designation,  kaliaetue.  It 
is  also  denominated  JUt-otm^  or  the  fish-eagle ;  Faun.

?aur  M,  a  phrase  used  to  denote  tlie  least 
it,  or  smallest  particle;  sometimes  equiva- 
lent to,  not  a  drop,.Aberd. 

My  intelligMit  correspondent,  who  communicates 
this  term,  conjectures  that  em  may  signify  to  enter, 
because  it  is  sometimes  said  in  the  same  sense,  "Nae 
*  sae  muckle  as  would  enter  your  ee.'*  But  there  can  be 
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.

Thia  term  waa  not  unknown  in  E.,  althourii  I  have 
remarked  only  the  following  inatance,  aa  need  liy  Bean- 
mont  and  Fletcher. 

— "They  aay  the  King  of  Portugal  cannot  ait  at  hia

anatch  it  from  him.**    Burning  Peetle.

Lgiidm^e  Warku,  U88,  pi  885. 

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.

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

We  learn  from  Ray,  that  in  the  West  of  £.  "  vdling

Tho  numbon  of  the  former  were  augmented  chiefly  bv

by  snob  as  fell  msensate  through  wounds,  but  not  dead,

who  aomotimes  repined  at  tho  hardness  of  their  lot,  by 
oadi  whose  livio  were  Inderal  good,  but  in  amoment 
of  nnguardodneaa,  fell  mto  deep  ain,  and  especially

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.

Aa  our  ancestors  firmly  believed  that  it  was  a  com- 
i  Muctice  with  tke  Fairies,  to  carry  off  healthy  and 
imul  children  from  their  cradles  or  the  arms  of 
tteir  Bursesb  and  leave  their  own  puny  brood  in  their 
plao%  the  verr  same  idea  has  prevailed  on  the  conti- 
utmL  Alp,  wf,  striz,  lamia,  saga,  quod  daeroonis  in- 
star  Bootomi  per  Iom  habitsta  oberret,  et  in  varies 
Mtata  formas  infantee  e  cnnis  abripiat.  et  in  locum 
eornm  alioa  et  deteriores  substitnat ;  Waehter.  This 
-idea  is  not  altogether  banished  from  the  minds  of  the 
vntftf,  in  some  parts  of  8.  Mlien  a  child,  from  in- 
ternal disesee,  saddenly  loses  tte  ^MMb^  or  seem  to  uva* 
iili  aa  they  express  it^  •^nong  suspicions  ars  sometimes 
ealsrtalnsd  that  the  declining  child  is  merely  an  elvish 
auhstitate.  This  fooUsh  idea  also  prevails  in  the  Heb- 
lidea.  Thev  had  a  eingular  mode  of  obtaining  restit- 
nliea.  **  It  was  usual  with  those  who  believed  that 
ttMir  children  ^9t%  thus  taken  away,  to  dig  a  nave  in 
the  fields  noon  Quarter-day,  and  there  to  lay  the  fairy 
akeleton  tiu  next  morning :  at  which  time  the  parents 
went  to  the  place,  where  the]f  doubted  not  to  find 
their  own  child  instead  of  this  skeleton.  Martin's

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.

The  bird  Faskidar,  about  the  bigness  ot  a  aea-maw 
of  the  middle  aize,  ia  observed  to  fly  with  greater  awif  t- 
neaa  than  other  fowl  in  thoae  parte,  and  purraea  leaser 
fowls,  and  foroea  them  in  their  flight  to  let  fall  the  food 
which  they  have  got,  and  by  ita  nimbleneas  catchea  it 
before  it  touch  the  ground."  Martin'a  Weat.  laL,  p.  73. 
Thia  name  might  almoet  aeem  to  be  a  corr.  of  the 
Sw.  name  of  the  Pelecanus  Carbo,  Linn.,  Hqfk^iader, 
Faun.  Suec.,  N.  145.  I  find,  however,  the  mial  term 
given  in  two  different  forms,  and  HqfHjSader,  referring 
to  N.  145,  Ind.  But  it  may  be  allied  to  Gael  faitg- 
am,  to  wring;  yb^^oiift,  wringing,  whence /lUNiaaair,  a 
preaa  jfor  cheeee ;  as  the  name  might  have  its  origin 
from  thia  bird  being  believed  to  ooitslraui  other  fowla 
to  part  with  their  rood.

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-

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

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

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

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 
FiUamL  A  Jutittg  equaU  would  be  rather  a  new 
figure.  There  cannot  oe  a  doubt  that  it  is  the  same 
with  0.  E.  FoUL  "To  FhzU  or  Foui,  to  break 
wind  backward  without  noise,'*  Ac.  Phillips.  Not 
merely  the  connexion  of  the  term  with  winde  and  a 
SQuaU,  but  the  idea  of /yling  the  wifule,  as  well  as  that 
of  her  hartng  na  ha  bekmd,  no  stop  or  hold  positively 
tMsense.

Jhw'feaif  or  Jhw-mosa. — It  often  forms  a 
stratum  from  4  to  8  feet  deep,  is  generally 
of  a  brown  or  reddish  colour,  and  affords

2.  In  one  passage,  apparently,  it  shonld  rather 
be  rendered  great-great-grand-father,  be- 
cause of  the  order  of  enumeration  of  de-

— **To  the  lonaids  personeo  abonenamit,  thair  fa-

Act  Cha.  I.,  Ed.  1S14,  VoL  r.  M. 

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.

From  tho  connexion,  it  io  plain  that  this  signifies

often  used  in  reckoning  generations,  as  /ore-e/driis

2.  A  superstitious  observance  or  practice, 
meant  to  procure  good  or  evil,  a  charm,  S.

without  natnraU  causes  ;  as  likewise  all  kind  of  prae- 
tiques,  JrtUe^,  or  other  extraordinary  actions,  which 
cannot  abide  the  trew  touch  of  natural  reaaon. — 
Unlearned  men  (bei^g  naturally  curiooi,  and  lacking 
the  trew  knowledy  of  Qod)  finde  these  practises  to 
pitMM  trew,  as  sundrie  of  them  will  doe,  by  the  power 
of  the  diuell  for  deceiuing  men,  and  not  by  any  inherent

The  idea  thrown  out  by  K.  Jamea  occurs  ia  the  old 
ballad,  Adam  o'  Gordon. 

Wha  loik  to  Avila,  my  master  deir,

FuJc  atkU  a.  Satladi,  L  49. 

It  ia  thus  expressed  in  proee : — 

"  He  that  foUowa  frteU,  /rteU  wiU  foUow  him  ;*' 
S.  Proy.,  Kelly,  p.  128. 

Thia  ProTcrb  oontaina  an  obeerratioQ  founded  on 
experience.  We  are  not  to  suppose  that  thoee  who 
framed  it  believed  in  the  efficacy  of  auperatitious  rites. 
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 
Enow  sacred  wisdom ;  Trymu  S.  ap.  Ihre.     Thia. 
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^

fnamiij  the  aame  meaning,  it  appears  to  me  that  they 
aave  originated  from  difiermt  modes  of  reckoning  the

H  this,  mentioned  by  Rudd.,  be  the  oroper  meaning,

to  the  multitude  of  the  heathen  eods  aa  contrasted  with 
the  unity  of  the  true  Uod.  £i  this  sense,  Douslas

The  only  instance  I  have  met  with,  in  which  thie  v.

Thia  word,  I  apprehend,  ia  properly  S.  It  seems  to

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

contributing  somethmg  which  may  not  be  unaccep-

hero  of  popular  aonff. 

I  certainly  woula  hare  formed  the  aame  conclusion 
witii  the  laborious  Bitsoni  as  to  the  son^  beinff  the 
■olitaiy  memorial  of  ito  unfortunate  subject ;  Had  I 
■ot  miet  with  some  hinto  in  the  Continuation  of  Sir 
BobertOorckm's  History  of  the  Earls  of  SutherUnd, 
which  in  all  nrobability  refer  to  this  very  person. 

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 
BO  other  purnoee  than  that  of  introducing  an  aUusion 
to  tiie  splenaoar  and  gaiety  of  her  court,  in  the  foU 
lowing  linea: —

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 
Jamsa  Grant  in  the  north  of  Scotland ;  Jamee 


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-

afterwards  killed  be  John  Dow-garr,  and  be  UUUroff

"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

"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*

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 
Mainst  a  government  that  seems  to  have  punished

The  Tnlgar  believed,  (and  the  idea  ia  not  yet  nniver- 
aally  azptoded)  that  a  lonr-bladed  atalk  of  cloTer 
waa  the  meet  effectnal  antidote  to  the  inflnence  of

loUowiBg  paaMga  :— 

*' What  ener  leemeth  pleaiant  into  thia  world  Tnto

Tis.  a  moat  powerfuU  meanea  againat  the  juggling  of

Thia  aaperatitioa  ia  probably  aa  ancient  aa  the  time

graatlj  rafarded  by  them,  atiU  baa  particular  yirtuea 
of  a  inedicmal  kind  aacribed  to  it  by  the  Highlanders, 
when  it  ia  cnlled  according  to  the  ancient  rites. 

'*  la  tha  Uat  of  plaata,  mnat  be  reckoned  the  eeam. 
rogt  or  the  wild  trefoil,  in  great  eatimation  of  old  with 
the  Dmida.  It  ia  still  considered  aa  an  anodjpe  in  the 
disnasna  of  cattle :  from  thia  circumstance  it  baa  de- 
rived ita  name  Seimh,  in  tho  Gaelic,  signifying  pacifick 
and  aoothino;  When  gathered  it  ia  pluckcMl  by  tha

Thia  ia  tha  eeamrog  or  ehamrog  worn  by  Iriahmen  in 
their  bate,  aa  Obrien  says,  **  by  way  of  a  croes  on 
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.

Edward  the  Third,  the  Lat.  name  uambuca  was  applied

It  may  uA  ba  reckoned  aaperfloooa  bora  to  men- 
tioB  the  raaaon  why  the  Gotha  wrote  the  name  of  the 
Divine  Being  Oud,  Dorinj^  the  timea  of  heatheniam, 
tiiay  caUed  their  falae  deitiea  Ood,  pL  (fodin.  After 
the  introdaction  of  Chriatiani^,  by  a  alight  change, 
they,  for  the  aake  of  diattnction,  gave  the  name  of 
Omd  to  the  Supreme  Being;  raotricting  that  of  Ocd, 
aometimea  written  gamif  to  the  former  objecta  of 
their  idolatroua  worahip.  Hence  Cfod^  gode,  after- 
warda  had  the  aenae  of  aeaater,  idolnm.  ibra  thinka, 
thai  it  ia  too  plain  to  raqnira  any  proof  that  the  name, 
aa  i^pplied  to  the  true  God,  waa  borrowed  from  guti^ 
bonuii  good.  He  aconta  the  idea  of  Gr.  Gcot  famng 
darivM  from  Hmu,  videos  fcw,  curro,  or  $tt  diapono ; 
aooounting  it  far  mora  probable  tbat  the  Greeka  bor- 
rowed tiiia  term  from  the  ancient  Scvthiana,  fi^m 
whom,  he  aa^  they  derived  almoat  all  their  theology; 
and  that  it  m  £Mst  haa  the  aame  meaning  with  Oud^ 
bonua.  For  tbia  quality,  be  adda,  ia  expreaaed  by  two 
worda  in  Moea-€F.  ooot,  and  ikiuihs  or  tkiutheigM, 
Tbua^  ThiMe  gtuUhSda  grtdagans ;  He  hath  filled  the 
hungry  with  good  tbinsa ;  Luke,  i.  38,  whence  CAiii- 
HUa^iamt  benefacara^  thtuihspUloH,  evangelizara,  thiu* 
tkfan,  banedicera.  From  thiuths,  therefore  be  thinka, 
that  the  Greeka  and  Latina,  according  to  the  varioua 
ebangea  of  cognate  lottery  made  Zcvt,  Ait,  diot,  Deua, 
Diua,  ftc. 

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 
aa  guU,  good ;  aa  0ml  mve  us.  But  not  to  mention  the 
abanrdi^  of  anppoaing,  or  of  acting  aa  if  one  anppoeed, 
that  preaervation,  bleaaing,  &c.,  can  come  from  any 
hand  but  that  of  God ;  it  aeema  highly  probable  that 
thla  IB  not,  aa  may  ba  imagined,  a  corruption  of  the 
name  now  given  to  the  Supreme  Being,  but  the  name

ohanges  its  place  so  secretly  and  suddenly ;  when  they

what  ia  called  a  gowt»  trramd  on  the  first  day  of

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-

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

ia  the  andent  celebration  of  the  return  of  the  Teinal

fermentation. 

OaeL  greadan,  snuff.  The  origin  of  the  name  is 
obWous.  Before  snuff  was  become  so  general  an  article 
of  trade^  in  consequence  of  general  consumption,  those 
who  used  it  prepared  it  for  themselves,  by  toasting  the 
leaves  of  tobacco  on  or  before  the  fire.  When  snfii- 
eiently  parched,  thev  put  these  leaves  into  a  box, 
grindug  them  with  a  kind  of  pesUe.  Hence,  from  the 
rssembunce  of  the  mode  of  preparation  to  that  of 
flrain,  the  snuff  was  cslled  grtaiam,  S.  groddam^  and  the

rather  from  IsL  Uor-«^  Sa.-G.  tar^a,  to  choae ;  becaaie 
they  were  believed  to  be  employed  by  Odin  to  aelect

It  merits  obeermtion,  that  aa  the  Romana  had  three 
Potvcm;  CloiMa,  Laeke$i»,  and  Atropo$,  there  is  a 
oonaiderable  analogy.  For  the  first  waa  aitppoeed  to 
praside  o?er  the  birth,  the  second  over  the  lira,  and  the 
third  over  the  death  of  each  individnal.  v.  Boain. 
Antiq.  Bom.,  Lib.  t^  c.  15.  In  this  manner  were  the 
attribatea  and  work  of  the  One  Sapreme  disgniaed  and

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

This  phnse  is  not  unknown  in  England ;  althoo^ 
I  have  met  with  no  OTample  of  the  use  of  it  escoept  m 
the  Dietionariea  of  Ootgraroi,  Ludwift  and  Sersniua.

That  tills  PkSv.  is  used  in  France,  appears  bevond  a 
doabt  from  what  ia  said  li^  Lsroox  t  Quand  quelq'nn  n

It  ia  thus  given  by  Serenius,  va  Hair :  '*To  take  n 
hair  ci  the  same  dog;  siipa  9ig  full  af  mumima  tein.** 
This,  however,  seems  to  be  merely  a  translation  of  tho 
proverb.  I  find  no  proof  that  the  figure  is  naed  ia  any 
of  the  notthem  langiisges. 

So  aheurd  did  this  ^rase  seem,  that  I  wonld  never 
have  tiiought  of  investigatiiig  it,  had  I  not  aocidentaUy 
met  with  a  passsge  in  a  publication,  the  writer  of 
which  could  nave  no  end  to  serve  by  relating  what 
was  totaUy  unfounded,  and  so  unlike  the  apparent 
ainudicity  of  the  rsst  of  the  narrative. 

Aiving  mentioned  that,  when  at  Wampoa  in  China, 
hie  doff  Neptune  had  bit  a  bov,  who  was  meddling 
rather  freely  with  the  articlee  belonging  to  him,  and 
that  he  "dressed  the  boy's  hurt,  which  was  not 
aevm^**  he  adda  z  '*In  a  short  time  after  I  saw  him 
coming  beck,  and  hie  father  leading  him.  I  locked  for 
aqualls,  but  the  fr ther  only  asked  a  few  haxn  oat  from 
under  Neptune's  fors  leg;  close  to  the  body ;  he  would 
take  them  from  no  other  part,  and  stuck  them  aU  over 
the  wound.  He  went  away  content.  I  had  often  heard, 
when  a  peieon  had  been  tipey  the  evening  before, 
people  tell  him  to  tote  a  Aoir  of  the  dog  ihai  ^  Ami, 
Dut  never  saw  it  in  the  litend  sense  before."  J. 
Nicd's  Life  and  Adventuiee,  Edin.,  1822,  p.  lOa 

It  may  aeem  nnaooountablethat  there  should  be  any 
connexion  between  a  proverbial  speech  of  the  weetem 
nations,  and  a  custom  among  the  Chineee.  Bat  thia 
wiU  not  sppear  incredible,  when  it  ia  recollected  that 
pmlwHimI  ntignted  from  the  east  towards  the  west, 
and  that  the  traces  of  veiy  ancient  affinity  may  be  dis- 
ooversd  in  customs  that  might  otherwise  appear  ridieul* 
on%  or  destitute  of  any  foundation  but  the  groea 
iflnoranoe  of  the  modem  vulgar.  Who  could  auppoee 
that  any  of  the  customs  of  our  children  might  be  traced

Thia  Bight  ia  alao  celebrated  in  aome  placea  by  Uaaea 
of  another  deecription,  which  more  nearly  reeemble  the

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

we  may  judge  fr:om  the  cnatoma  atill  remaining  in  tbia

According  to  the  testimony  of  aome  of  her  own 
members,  the  Church  of  Bome  borrowed  her  prayera

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.'* 
Exposition  of  Difficult  words,  FoL  13S,  b.  V.  also 
Gblloction  of  Statuteo,  FoL  187,  b. 

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

''Among  the  varioueeuatoma  nowobaolete,  the  moat

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-

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

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

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

According  to  the  tradition  of  the  Sooth  of  Sw,  tho 
term  had  ita  origin  from  the  alternatiTe  which  Ifnmy 
.  of  Elibank  propoeed  to  yoong  Watt  Scott  of  Harden, 
irimhad  giTen  nim  mortal  oirance  by  driving  the  cattle 
of  ao  near  a  nei^bonr  aa  hia  prey.  Old  Murray  over- 
took  him,  recovered  hia  cattle,  and  conaigned  tho 
dtfing  freebooter  to  hia  dnnseon ;  determined  that  he 
ahoola  be  released  from  it  only  to  be  led  to  the  gallows. 
When  he  communicated  this  reaolntion  to  hia  good  and

hen  over  ducklings  which  she  has  bred,  as 
if  they  were  her  own  species ;  and  by  her 
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

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

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

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.

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

It  may  be  added,  that,  before  the  age  of  Barboor, 
the  fame  of  Arthur  was  so  much  revived,  that  Bdw.

L  213  214. 

The  leanied  Stnitt  has  thrown  considerable  li^t  on 

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— 
He  helde  h&i  hcuteholde,  and  the  roumU  tabU

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

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

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.

The  term  nuUd  ia  evidently  need  m  a  general 
aa  including  all  who  had  not  aome  kina  of  nobility. 


But  it  cannot  be  anppoaed  that  all,  except  noblea, 
alavea ;  or  that  the  ktubamli  were  bomlt^  aa  equivalent 
to  iMUtal  and  ai/toni. 

It  seems  difficult  to  determine  the  aense  of  ona 
paaaage,  in  which  both  ktubamli  and  bondi  occur.

laL  SnatuU,  bondi,  and  bande,  are  merely  the  part.

aardingly  somatimea  written  boende,  an  in  Heims  Kring., 
L  17&  Hera  it  aaactly  rstaina  the  form  of  the

A.«aL  bttmd,  buenda,  colonua,  agrioola,  ia  perfectly

It  wuif  aeem  aoubtful,  whether  we  should  view  the

Xha  latter  haa  jpeniapa  the  prior  daim,  this  being  the

■oti^g  that  the  person,  thus  designed,  inhabited  a 
kwas^  or  waa  n  oonataat  rsaidant  in  tha  conntry,  keep- 


ing a  family  there.  Hence  it  would  come  to  signify 
the  master  of  a  family ;  and,  by  an  easy  transition,  a 
husband.  In  S.  it  alao  denotea  the  steward  of  a  ship.

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

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

"Dr.  Jamieson  is  the  only  author  who  givea  a  dif-

that  a  baaband-laiid  ia  only  *acv  acraa  of  aok  and  ayith

able Dictionary  of  the  Scottiah  language,  which  he  haa

Mattara  being  thua  rapraaented,  it  aeamed  neoeaaary 
that  I  ahoold  re-examine  the  aubject ;  reaolved  to  cor- 
lecft  any  error,  aa  aoon  aa  I  ahould  diaoover  it.  The 
meolt  of  my  inveatigation,  I  ahaU  beg  leave  to  give  in 
the  ifeMOvtMidSa  taken  at  the  time. 

Li  the  PMation,  p.  4^  it  ia  aaid ;  "  An  oxengate  waa 
the  loaithpart  of  a  ploughgate,  or  the  work  of  a  plough 
diawn  fay  nmr  oxen.'*  But  a  team  ia  generallv  onder- 
alood  to  have  ooaaiated  of  eight  oxen.  Thia  ia  the 
exprau  aaaertioo  of  Skene.  Apud  priaooa  Sootoa,  ane

Spefanan,  in  the  article  quoted  (vo  Bovaia)^  eaya ;

"  J^AC  oxengatee  make  a  pkmghland."  For  he  ex- 
plaina  ctmteata  by  tbe  very  phnae,  "a  ploughland." 
According  to  Skene,  earueaia  terrae  ia  "  alameikle  an

laboured  within  yeir  and  daie  be  ane  pleuch."  De 
Verbb  Sign.  vo.  Carrueaia,  Spelman  aaya  that  in  Con-

** which  number," he  add^  "with  our  anceatora  alao 
pM"i  lo  have  been  aometimee— potior,  et  Domeadeio

JDn  GauM,  it  ia  aaid,  "daeaee  the  ITuebaiuiua  aa  a

auppoaed  that  the  worda,  quoted  by  htm,  could  in  any

tt^are  merely  a  quotation  from  Bladox.  who,  in  hia 
£brmif/aria,  givee  the  following  extract  from  the 
Teatameat  of  John  de  Nevill,  A.  IdS6.    Item,  dum 


contingal  me  obire,  vdlo  quod  Iota  firma 
termim  tunc  ultimo  ebmei  coodonetur  omnibua  tenen- 
tibua  meia  videlicet  HiubamUe,  ootiera  4  bond.  Vo. 
Hutbamius,  Who  can  read  thia  and  eay  that  the 
writer  "  claaaea  the  kuebamitu  ae  a  cottar  or  bonda- 
man  ?  He  may  indeed,  in  a  certain  aenae,  be  eaid  to 
daaa  him  wUk  cottaraaad  bondmen,  aa  to  the  common 
immunity  from  paying  rent  for  one  term ;  hot  he  eo 
daaeee  them  aa  clearly  to  diatinpiiah  the  huabandman 
from  both.  For  the  language  la  uoqueetioaably  die- 
tributive;  three  different  daaeee  of  tenanta  being  men- 
tioned. So  far  ia  it  from  being  the  oaee^  aa  the 
Petitioner  haa  attempted  to  prove,  that  hiuibamUu 
denoted  one  who  waa  a  bondman,  that  the  paaaage^  in 
the  deareet  manner,  provea  the  verv  reverae.  An 
intermediate  daaa  appeara  between  the  huabandman 
and  the  bondman.  Kven  eoiteure  are  here  diatinguiahed 
from  bondmen,  who  were  nndoubtedly  viUamL 

Da  Gauge  indeed  refera  to  Quon.  Attach.  But  it  ia 
with  a  veiy  different  view  from  that  apparently  im- 
puted to  him.  It  ia  to  ahow  that  the  term  kutboMdae 
la  put— pro  agrioda.'  He  eaya»  in  Legibua  Inne  Aan- 
banda  aumitur  pro  agricola,  nt.ot  katbamdm  in  Qncn. 
Attach.,  c.  23,  etinetatutia  WUldmi  Regie  Scotiae,  Ac. 
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 
But  to  what  cauae  aoever  thia  error  may  be  imputable» 
tfaat  it  lav  in  tfae  uae  of  aix  for  twenty-aix,  I  am  able 
to  afaow  by  incontrovertible  evidence.  Hiaving  coo-

*  INSTRmiENT,  «.  A  forensic  terai,  used 
to  denote  a  written  document,  given  in 
proof  of  anj  deed  of  a  court,  or  transaction 
of  an  individual  in  that  court,  S* 

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. 
Bat  the  contradiction  in  terms  plainly  shews  that  the 
langpags  ia  need  improperly.
