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  vaiy  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  marginalia  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  this  resource,  we  have  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  from  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  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  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  liability  can  be  quite  severe.

There  is  flomething  so  comical  iu  the  idea  of  the 
ui'-mbers  of  the  *' sac  ret!  college"  leaving  their 
rclitrkixia  dutif«  to  rush  into  the  presence  of  ft 
sufterinfT  woman,  utum  an  ocofwion  lilce  the  pre- 
sent, that  we  can  narHIy  keep  nur  cotintenanoe 
whiUt  ri*ading  tlie  paragraph.  The  young  prince, 
of  course,  waa  the  Pretendt-r  of  '45  colebnty. 

By  A  singular  coincidence  the  same  paper,  of 
only  a  few  weeks  later,  records  another  event  of 
f\  »>imilnr  kind  having  considernble  bearing  upon 
that  just  quoted  :  — 

"On  SfltonUy  tlip  15th  Imtant  [April],  n  tittle  aftor 
seven  o'clock  in  thrl^vcnini:,  her  K"yntIli;.'hiiM'thePriu-

and  Mn.  Crane,  tbc  Mi<lwite,  who  laid  her  Koyal  liigh- 
neas,"  Ac. 

The  prince  wh'^o  birth  is  thus  recorded  was 
the  Duke  of  Cumberland,  the  '*  horo  of  Culloden," 
or,  a*  we  prefer  callinj^  him,  "  Rilly  the  Butcbor." 
The  midwife  upon  thi'*  occasion  was  not  raised  to 
the  pecrajni !  The  |mpcr  for  Suturday,  May  2(^ 
records  merely  that  — 

"Mn.  Crane,  the  Midwife. hovini;  received  the  Thanks 
of  the  I'riniv  and  I^rinec.vt,  and  tiie  luual  PreMcnLs.  took 
her  Lrnre  of  tkuir  Koynl  Hij:line««!!*,  tn  onler  to  rstam 
Home  to  St.  EdmuudVBury  in  SulTulk." 

Leicester  House,  in  whieh  the  event  took  place, 
vrtiA  for  many  years  a  myal  residence.  M  hen  the 
Prince  of  Wales,  alterwards  George  II.,  fjuar- 
relled  with  bis  father  in  1717,  hr  ^*^^^  "P  ^** 
abode  here.  The  mnuMon.  de.<cribed  in  1773  sfl 
"a  larpe  old  brick  bnildinp  with  a  court-yard 
before  it/'  wn-»  pulli'd  down  in  1M0<I. 

We  have  still  another  evt-nt  connected  with 
royalty  worth  llio  quotin;^.  The  paper  for  .Tuly  16 
thus  mentions  a  ro^al  visit  to  n  celebrated  place 
of  entertainment :  — 

"')n  Satunluy  list  the  Prince  nnd  Prim-tiw  of  Wales 
dined  at  BcUisc  Uoum  near  nainpsleod.  their  own 
Cook-i  t>ein^  there  to  drew  the  DJntier  for  their  Ituyal

Diver^iutiJt  of  thu  Pluee.  particularly  that  of  £>et'r  hunt- 
ing. Atid  were  well  plonn'ij  therewirh  ;  aud  at  their  going 
away  were  very  liberul  to  the  Scrvant.t." 

It  certainly  would  strike  us  as  rather  odd  to 
read  of  our  Prince  and  Priucese  of  Wales  going  to 
Roahe^^•iUe  or  Crenjorne  to  see  the  eporta  oudJ 
partake  of  antral  dinner.  These  <dd  yewapape* 
notices  are  valuable,  if  only  to  chronicle  the 
changes  that  have  taken  place  in  our  uanneis  and 
customs.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


H*^  S.  V.  Jaf.  1. 


is  i^ow  covered  with  n  mass  of  bricks  and  mortar) 
hod  recently  been  opened,  at  this  date,  as  a  place 
of  public  entertainment.  It  was  ori«rinaUy  the 
residence  of  Sir  Armigal  Waad,  clerk  of  the 
council  to  Henrv  VIII.  and  Kdwanl  VI.,  the  first 
KngUdhman  who  made  discoveries  in  America. 
He  died  at  Bolsize,  June  20, 15C8,  and  was  buried 
in  the  parish  church  of  Ilampstead.  After  pass- 
ing through  various  hands  (including  Thomas 
Lord  Wotton,  son  of  the  first  Earl  of  Chester- 
field) the  house  and  grounds  were  leased,  in  171$, 
to  Charles  I*ovev»  the  well-known  "  promoter  and 
apeculisf  In  1720  it  was  opened  as  a  place  of 
public  enterttunmcnt  by  a  person  named  Ilowell, 
who,  from  his  humour,  was  stvled  the  "  Welsh 
Ambassador.*'  In  the  original  advertisement  (a 
lATQ  hand-bill)  Belsize  is  announced  to  be  open 
for  the  season,  "  the  park,  wilderness,  and  gar- 
dens being  wonderfully  improved  and  fitted  with 
variety  of  birds,  which  compose  a  most  melodious 
and  delightful  harmony."  I'ersons  inclined  to 
'J  walk  and  divert  themselves,"  we  are  informed, 
<•'  may  breakfast  on  tea  and  coffee  as  cheap  as  at 
their  own  chambers."  The  loneliness  of  the 
locality  is  provided  agunst  by  an  announcement 
that  "  twelve  stout  fellows,  compleatly  armed, 
patrole  between  Belsize  and  London." 

The  precautions  taken  by  the  worthy  landlord 
of  Belsize  were  certainly  necessair,  if  we  may 
jndge  only  by  what  we  read  in  the  Weekly  Packet, 
In  the  paper  for  Feb.  11  is  a  paragraph  recording 
the  execution  of  seven  malefactors  at  Tyburn, 
"four  for  robberies  on  the  hif?hway.*'  Thomas 
Cross  is  said  to  have  been  a  hardened  reprobate 
**  glorying  in  the  robberies  he  had  committed." 
He  boasted  that  he  and  Spiopott  "  had  once  at 
10  o*clock  at  night  robb*d  one  hundred  passengers, 
whom  they  took  out  of  several  waggons  that  fol- 
low*d  in  a' train :  and  that  they  set  the  passengers 
in  a  row  along  the  road,  and  robb*d  and  counted 
them." 

The  year  1721  gave  full  employment  to  the 
pillory.'  Among  the  numerous  cases  mentioned 
m  our  papers,  the  following  is  worth  notice : — 

"On  Thnraday  limt  [Feb.  15 j  Mr.  Mist,  tlio  Printer  of 
one  of  the  Weekly  Joamals  Mootl  in  tlic  rillorv  atChnr- 
iaj{  Cro*5,  as  he  had  done  ou  the  Mondny  before  at  the 
Roval  Kxchaii;;e,  pursuant  to  hij  Sentence  in  the  Court 
of  Ring's  Bench,  for  having  reflt^ctel,  in  one  of  his  Papcr-t, 
on  the  King's  interposing;  in  IWhalf  of  the  Protestants 
in  the  Palatinate.  It  was  ohitervM  that  he  met  with 
;;ood  Quarters  from  the  Miib,  nothing  being  thrown  at 
him  at  either  of  those  Places." 

Mist,  sufFering  for  conscience'  sake,  was  mildly 
treated.     Such  was  not  the  case   with  graver 
iffenders.    Remember  what  Gay  says : — 
*♦  WhAi  elevated  it'er  the  piping'  cnnvd, 
('la«p*d  in  the  board,  the  perjar'd  head  it  bowM, 
Betimes  retreat  ;  here,  thick  a-i  hail:>tDneA  pour, 
Tumit»»  and  half-tiatched  eggs— ftminglod  shower — 
\nion^  the  rabble  rain  ^  some  random  tlirow 
II."iy,  with  the  trickling  yolk,  thy  check  o'erflr.T." 


At  the  present  time,  when  there  is  such  a  rei 
less  disregard  of  the  pen  that  any  scribbler  ii 
journal  or  newspaper  may  by  its  scratch  cai 
months,  nny  years,  of  pain  to  a  sensitive  mind 
would  a  revival  of  this  ancient  punishment 
undesirable  P     I  venture  to  think  not. 

Among  the  books  "just  publish'd,"  T.  Kcb 
ton,  "at  the  Crown  in  Paternoster  How,''  a 
nounces  — 

"The  Itlunderful  Blunder  of  Blunders:    Being 
Answer  to  the  Wonderful  Wonder  of  Wonders, 
whicli  i^  added  a  Prologue  to  Hippolytus,  spoken  bi

and  a  work  upon  a  subject  that  has  been  coil 
dered  in  modem  times  —

Nations  in  the  World,  is  of  late  Inreution,  begun  tk 
Pride,  improv'd  by  Superstition,  encouraged  for  Lnc 
and  it  very  fatal  in  Case  of  Infection.'' 

Among  the  prints,  "Thomas  Bowles," next  tl 
Chapter  House  in  St.  Paul's  Churchyard,"  lu 
nounces 

"A  Monument  dedicated  to  Posteritr,  ia  Commemor 
tion  of  the  incredible  Folliea  transacted  in  the  Year  ITJ

I  and  the  Paradise  of  Fools;  with  a  Poem  upon  theMiU 
!  Crown,  and  lloop-PetUcoal.'' 

I      The  breaking  up  of  the  celebrated  "  South  S< 

'  Bubble  "  is  well  illustrated  by  the  present  bat^ 

I  of  newspapers.     In  the  number  for  January  i 

j  we  read  that  "  Mr.  Robert  ICnight,  Cashier  oft! 

South  Sea  Company,*'  after  being  examined  I 

:  the  House  of  Commons,  "went  away  from  1 

'  habitation  to  some  foreign  land,  as  is  jrencrsl 

supposed."    A  roval  proclamation  was  immed 

atelv  issued  for  ^is  apprehension,  with  a  rewai 

of  2000/.    "  Soon  after, '  wo  are  told  in  the  san 

number, 

'*  Sir  John  Blunt,  Bart.,  Sir  John  Lambert,  Bart.,S

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[j'h  s.  V.  j.vx.  1, 7a 


Still  we  decline;  flnd  our  calamities 

Infiensibly  stealc  on  us  by  degrees : 

That,  being  more  secure,' our  Judgment  may 

Appeare  more  horrid  at  oar  payment  day. 

How  many  glorious  Starrs  hnve  shot  of  "late 

From  the  inconstant  sphere  of  our  sad  State, 

Spangled  ere  while  with  happy  lights ;  from  whence 

We  hop'd,  and  found  auspicious  influence  ? 

But  now,  depriT'd  of  their  rich  splendor,  we 

Freeze  in  the  shadow  of  despaire,  and  die. 

Am  I  design'd  griefes  servant,  tlmt  my  Pen 

Thrice  Yow'd  to  silence  should  be  raisM  agen  ? 

I  call  no  Muse  m^  mother :  yet  am  still 

Babling  out  Elegiack  Notes :  my  Qnill, 

N'ere  dipt  ia  Aganippe,  sorrow  calls 

To  pay  its  Tribute  at  sad  Faneralls. 

But  on  I  what  Muse  can  lend  a  straine  t'  expresset 

The  measure  of  this  dayes  unhappinesse  ? 

What  wing  may  yeeld  a  quill,  which  can  compose 

Fit  Characters  of  sorrow  ?  or  who  knofres 

What  kind  of  sorrow  there  is  fit  to  be 

Exercis'd  at  such  Scenes  of  misery  ? 

Teares  are  too  common;  every  petty  losse 

Exacts  that  duty ;  every  trifling  crosse. 

Sighs  are  poore  emptv  things ;  and  aery  Verse 

An  ornament  t'  enrich  a  vulgar  Herse. 

Cnlesse  we  could  shed  teares  of  blood ;  and  sigh 

Our  lives  breath  out  unto  his  memory  : 

Or  breath  our  soules  forth  in  sad  numbers;  these. 

Indeed  are  griefes  fit  Ephemerides. 

What  lesse  can  suit  the  obsequies  of  him 

Who  spent  himself  for  us  ?  whose  eyes  grew  dim 

In  searching  out  oar  buried  Liberties : 

Who  in  pursuance  of  the  Kingdoms  peace 

Contracted  many  deaths ;  and  by  his  care 

Purchast  diseases :  holding  nothing  deare. 

Advance  the  publike :  who  (to  speakc  in  few) 

To  save  his  Countrey  his  owne  body  slew  ? 

For  which  bis  soulc,  translated  to  the  blisse 

Of  Heav'n,  with  Angels  there  Instated  is. 

Where  now  a  spotlesse  Samt.  he  sweetly  sings 

Loud  Halehijahs  to  the  King  of  Kings. 

Where  he  (above  the  reach  of  humane  sptght) 
Enjoys  the  comforts  of  the  Son  of  light. 

Now  you  bold  Imps  of  fury,  who  shall  now 
Plock"  that  bright  wreath  of  glor>'  from  his  brow  ? 
Who  shall  receive  the  Guerdon  of  his  fall  ? 
Or  preach  State-Treason  at  his  Fuuerall  ? 
Now  you  may  raile,  and  curse,  and  threat,  whilst  he 
Derides  your  malice;  scomes  your  tyranny. 
Now  you  mav  lie,  and  sweare  and  forsweare  too 
To  blast  his  S'ame  (more  then  Hells  selfe  can  doe). 
He,  from  the  glorious  Throne  of  happinesse, 
Laughs  at  your  poore  revenge,  and  gladly  sees 
The  booke  of  Conscience  spread  before  his  eyes : 
Where  all  the  actions,  which  your  perjuries 
Call  Treason  and  injustice,  he  beholds 
Flourish'!  with  glorj'  in  bright  lines  of  Gold : 
Presented  there,  unto  the  God  of  Peace, 
Most  perfect,  through  his  Saviours  worthynewe. 
There  rests  his  Koule,  his  body  let  us  lay  ' 
With  moumfull  tryuraphs  in  its  bed  of  clay  ; 
About  which  since  pale  death,  by  fates  decree* 
Hath  drawn  the  Curtaines  of  Mortality. 

That  after  ages  may  this  losse  bemoan; 

Trouble  the  Herse  with  this  Inscription. 


Just  Liberty  against  Prerogative : 

That  scorn'd  (his  Country*  perishing)  to  live. 

That  durst  impeach  the  bosome  favorite 

Of 's  Prince  and  against  greatnesse  maintainc  right. 

That  hated  Honour  bought  with  flattery : 

And  did  the  favours  of  a  King  deny. 

To  keep  his  faith  with  Heav'n;   that  dar'd  profesae 

Virtue,  in  tli'  age  and  Land  of  wickednesse. 

That  singly  durst  make  power :  doe  any  thing 

AllowM  by  Heav'n  ;  and  this  against  a' King. 

This  did  be;  yet,  with  this  he  did  maintainc 

A  soule  so  Loyall  to  his  Soveraigne, 

That  had  a  Trayterous  thought  but  mor*d  within ; 

There  it  had  judg'd  and  executed  bin. 

A  Man  so  pood,  that  t'was  imputed  to  him 

A  sin,  and  that  alone  which  did  nndoe  him. 

Full  fraught  with  Wisdome,  Virtue,  Gnccv 
Of  parts  admtr'd;  of  gentle  race. 
A  Noble  mind,  a  pious  heart. 
Humility,  with  great  desert. 
Curtene,  bounty,  innocence, 
A  pleasant  wit,  voyd  of  offence. 
Here  lyes  in  short  whatever  can 
lie  caVd  perfection  in  a  Man. 
All  these  lie  here  compriz'd  in  one ; 
(Alasae)  where  shall  they  harbour  now  bee's  gone  ?

AN  UNNOTICED  FRAGMENT  BY  DEAN  SAVIFT. 

The  following  characteristic  letter  by  the  Dean 
of  St.  I'atrick's  is  from  the  Morning  Herald  of 
October  11,  1827.  I  do  not  find  it  in  either 
Sheridan's  or  Scott's  edition  of  his  worka.  Ter- 
hape,  if  it  has  not  already  been  gathered  into  any 
collection,  and  if  it  is  not  too  lonpr,  you  will  find 
room  for  it.  C.  W.  SunoN. 

SUPPMESSED  LETTER  OF  DEAN  SWIFT. 


Here  lyes  the  Pillar  of  the  English  State ; 
The  Peoples  violent  love  ;  their  greatest  hate. 
His  (Tountreys  Patriot :  ReKgions  friend : 
Lawea  Champion :  one  that  dared  to  defoid 


TO  THE  CLKHOT  OF  THS  DIOCESE  OF  UUltUN,  EX- 
HORTCJO  TIIEU  IN  THE  CONDUCT  OF  THEIR  LIVES, 
TO  REGULATE  THEMSELVES  ACCORDINU  TO  THE 
PRESENT   IIUMODK  OF  THE  TIMES. 

"  All  we  have  for  it  is  our  little  sow." 

Trag^y,  Lady  Jane  Grey,  in  her  speech. 
Gentlemen  and  others— Having  happened  in  my  time 
to  converse  but  very  seldom  with  persons  of  your  profes- 
sion, and  having  the  good  fortune  not  to  embarrass  myself 
much  (during  the  course  of  my  ministry)  about  the  cure  of 
sonls ;  and  truly  in  a  kingdom  where  liberty  of  conscience 
(that  is  ininuifr)  is  established  by  law,  I  judged  that  a 
curate  had  little  more  to  do  in  a  churcfi  than  a  master  of 
ceremmiieB  in  a  covrtj  to  conduct  people  in,  and  then  to 
lead  them  out  agam ;  but  that  they  might  do  their  own 
boiineflfl  themmlves  which  way  they  pleased,  if  they  had 
any  to  do ;  1  hope  I  may  be  excused  in  the  following  exhor-

yon  are  not  allowed  to  maintain  unlimited  obedience. 

As  to  the  opinion  you  embrace^  take  heed  of  ejrceMs  here, 
as  you  were  to  avoid  defeat  before,  and  remember  my  old 
friend  Horace  again  — • 

"  Qui  variare  cupit  rem  prodigialiter  unam, 
Ddpbinum  in  Sylvb  appingit,"  &c.  &c. 
i.  e.  Do  not,  because  you  condescend  to  become  Low 
Church  niCTi,  own  yourselves  Presliyteriemg  all  at  once. 
But  why  do  I  dwell  thus  among  heathen  authors  ?  Does 
not  a  better  author  bid  you  '*  Be  all  thing$  to  all  men  f  " 
and  how  will  you  answer  this  command,  if  ye  that  were 
TarieM  under  Queeu  Anne  are  not  IVhigt  under  King 
George  f  Is  not  the  text  plain  ?  Is  not  the  application 
obvious  also  V     But  is  it  not  your  interest  f 

I  remember,  when  things  went  as  I  directed,  the  panona 
wore  courted  and  jnnquetted,  were  preferred  and  bribed, 
and  bought  and  sold,  and  we  corrira  the  day.  Ay,  and 
so  we  may  still ;  but  will  ye  tire  the  world  always  with 
the  repetition  of  the  same  way  of  reasoning  ?  No,  no, 
change  the  medium ;  variety  pleases,  and  wrangle  con  now 
what  3'ou  wrangled  for  pro  before,  pour  vons  en  divertir; 
and  to  show  your  good  manners  and  education  as  well  as 
learning.  The  present  set  of  pretendetUs  have  held  it 
long  enough ;  they  have  been  more  than  two  years  plun- 
dering the  great  sent,  and  running  aAer  its  institutions  and 

inductions.    In  short  Sm y  shall  no  longer  say  grace 

at  Lord  In «,  or  be  witty  with  the  Secretary  of  H^ar  ; 

nor  the  Hon.  L LuttreU  tell  stories  to  the  Aea</ of  the

gr;:ce  to  turn.  Begin,  then,  from  this  luckv  hour,  to 
account  for  the  happy  change,  and  seek  humility  (to  help 
your  honest  endeavour)  ;  I  here  present  you  with  a  set  of 
phrases,  fitted  to  your  purpose.

one's  MISD,  AKD  ALTERINO  lliEIU  BKHAVIOUB  AS

ST.  Patrick's,  DunLin. 

The  sailor  tacks  aftou/— the  lawyer  ««««— the  soldier 
fava — as  you  tcere—face  about  to  the  right.  You  your- 
fjofves  may  go  on  in  your  own  established  way,  and  snv 
rf;/>(r»Mfyott  will,  but  the  fashionable  (w/cra(c(f  word  is 
recant. 

The  cobbler  says  thisUist  will  not  do,  and  if  you  would 
have  a  new  sole,  yon  most  (whipstitch)  pack  up  your  old 
alls,  tcQx  new  creatures,  and  then  you  will  gain  3'uur  ends. 
The  tailor  says  you  must  take  a  new  measure — the 
brewer,  be  not  heguUed  any  longer— the  baker  bids  you 
consider  that  half  a  loaf  is  better  than  no  bread,  espe- 
cially since  your  cake  has  been  dough  m)  long.  The  saddler  I 
thinks,  too,  that  you  have  hit  a  pretty  while  upon  the  I 


bridle,  and  that  your  furniture  wants  this  new  reigne. 
Pitpe  advises  to  form  one*a  muse  according  to  the  genius 
of  the  present  times:  Lintott  thunders  "i?crueandbe 
damned  to  you,  if  you  would  have  the  impreasion  go  off." 
and  swears  there  is  no  profl  got  but  by  the  secimd  edU 
tion  ;  nay,  will  sometimes  encourage  a  third,  and  if  that 
won't  do,  a  new  title-page  and  index  at  last.  I  have  seen 
Ingram  very  rogueishly  rub  his  nose,  and  retorting  the 
inner  comer  of  his  right  eye,  ask  a  parson  that  came  to 
have  his  iackct  turned — Sir,  what  triraminfis  will  you 
have?  Slv  interrogates  what  the  eyes  and  the  hearts  of 
the  Tories  have  felt  lately,  they  are  now  so  very  fond  of  a 
Carolina  ?  If  you  go  to  Sir  Christopher  jf^rtn's  exe- 
cutors, yon  may  have  models  for  some  of  the  fifty  new 
churches ;  Mr.  King  can  draw  vou  a  jjlan  of  principles, 
and  Mr.  Gibbon,  the  statuan',  will  polish  your  antiquated 
poHtic*.    You  may  learn  from  the  ocean  to  say — if  your 

firinciples  won't  eofr  ant/ ^(T,  Aefi£&  you.  To  my  know- 
edge,  the  political  barometer  was  taken  from  youraelvcs. 
In  King  James  the  Second's  time,  your  sublimntinn  was 
hig/test  ;  in  King  William" s  lowest ;  at  the  beginning  of 
Queen  Anne's  moderate  hot;  at  the  end  burning;  con- 
tinued so  at  the  beginning  of  King  George's;  tends  tu 
moderate  again  ;  will  end  very  cold. 

I  have  omitted  speaking  on  the  head  of  learning  x  I 
don't  think  it  a  necessary  qualification  fur  you  in  this 
a^    I  am  certain  you  have  read  lately  the  whole  set  of 
Grumblers,  and  might  by  this  time  have  gone  through 
the  Art  of  Qmtentment.    This,  with  an  application  of 
yourselves  to  answer  Peter,  Lord  Bishop  of  Chrk's  book?, 
about  drinking  heal(bs,  and  King   Willitun^s  memonv 
with  a  competent  knowledge  of  Iphiston's  address  to  all 
the  Kings  of  the  earth,  will  give  you  reputation  ennugli 
this  way ;  provided  vou  neglect  not  the  Gazette  and  iJaify 
Qmranl;  for,  as  to  Oooks,  though  several  gentlemen  have 
died  lately,  and  left  good  libraries  behind  them,  yet  for 
what  use  will  be  made  of  them  in  this  ceniurj*,  ihey 
might  as  well  have  token  them  along  with  them.    The 
little  learning  that  1  am  master  of,  1  tell  you  freely  I 
don't  know  how  to  dispose  of;  and  when  I  have  venturfff 
to  give  yon  the  same  advice  that  I  had  taken  myself,  I'll 
relieve  yon.    I  most  heartily,  therefore,  recommend  to 
you  the  single  art  of  punning ;  play  at  it  if  you  intenJ  to 
rise ;  let  it  be  your  study  at  night,  and  meditation  in  th« 
morning,  and  so  bid  adieu  to  Moses,  &c.  and  also  to  the 
neglected  Muses  of  Gretti  Britain. 
"  Nee  sale  pcrfrictus,  lepida  nee  mente  beatus, 
Funde  snnos  similes  et  dira  crepundia  vocum.'* — Caio- 
PosTSCKii'T. — To  encourage  you  under  this  laudable 
carriage,  I  am  to  tell  you  that  I  design  to  pay  a  speeilr 
visit  to  lAmdon,  when  I  can  promise  to  make  your  lumos 
acceptable. 

I  see  most  plainly  the  spirit  which  at  present  rcii^ns 
there :  the_/«w  honest  men  may  be  rewarded  in  due  time ; 
but  number  is  our  argument,  and  we'll  press  down  tH 
before  us.  The  worst  that  can  happen  to  me  is  a  hue  ami 
cry  after  me  in  this  place ;  but  hang  you,  there  is  uft 
one  amon^i^t  3'ou  all  {all  you  subaltern  generations  "f 
Priests)  who  can  write  anything  that  will  live  above 
balf-an-hour  ;  ami  as  to  my  English  JouxTialist,  I'll  «'* 
upon  him,  introduce  him  to  "some  of  the  Zrort/sandDukef, 
and  so  stop  his  mouth. 

I  can  laugh,  ridicule,  and  flatter  them  into  what  I 
please;  some  I'll  bamboozle — others  I'll  drink  inU>  com- 
pliance—and,  in  short,  whilst  panning,  wit,  and  tuipn- 
dence,  are  above  ground,  never  fear.  Pray  hold  Ja— ky

dulcis.  And  if  M — m  comes  along  with  him,  the  set  1* 
made  up  at  ombre,  and  we  refresh  after  fatigue. 

So  go  home,  become  honest  and  loyal  directlv,  sd'J 
leave  the  rest  to  me.  I  bid  you  heartily  farewell,  aou

EARLY  NOTICE  OF  HANDEL*S  ORATORIOS. 

Looking  over  a  volume  of  tracts,  I  have  stum- 
bled upon  an  early  notice  of  Handel's  oratorios, 
which  1  think  may  interest  Dr.  Riubattlt,  Mk. 
Husk,  and  such  other  of  the  readers  of  *'  N.&Q." 
as  take  an  interest  in  the  history  of  music  in  Eng- 
land. I  am  the  more  induced  to  do  this  because, 
if  I  am  rightly  informed,,  very  little  is  known  of 
the  mode  in  which  oratorios  were  originally  given. 
The  pamphlet  is  entitled  — 

**  Seo  and  Seem  Blind ;  or,  a  Critical  Dissertation  wi 
the'Publick  Diveraions,  &c.,  of  Persans  antl  Tiiin;^  and 
Things  and  Persons,  and  what  not.     In  a  Letter  frum  tfae 

Right  Honourable  the  I^rd  B to  A H ,  Esq.

ridge,  the  corner  of  Castle  AUev,  near  the  Rojal  Ex- 
change.   Prioe  Sixpence."    No  date. 

The  following  extract  is  taken  from  pp.  12-lG : — 
"In  this  Opera,  Mias  Ame^  an  Undertaker's  Daughter 
near  Cownt  Gardtn^  appear'd  in  a  most  amiaUe  Light, 
to  the  great  Delight  and  Surprize  of  the  whole  Town,  tlw 
is  very  young,  and  very  pretty  j  and  has  made  innumer- 
able Conqnests,  her  Voice  is  exceeding  small,  but  exceed- 
ing sweet ;  she  Sings  perfectly  in  Tune,  and  her  manner 
is  entirely  modem  ;  she  has  such  a  Warble,  such  a  je  me 
tcay  ouotft  u  tickles  my  veTv  Soul ;  and  yet  there  are 
some  Urates,  that  becaudo  she  is  ICmfiishf  are  angry  with 
themselves  for  liking  her  in  trpite  uf  Prejudice. 

**  Her  great  Excellence,  tho'  it  supported  the  Opera, 
eclipsed  the  other  Performera ;  in  short,  it  was  a  thoo- 
sand  pities  it  had  not  been  done  at  one  of  the  other 
Hou$e*  ;  it  would  have  nppearVl  in  a  mneh  better  Light ; 
but  notwithstanding  all  the  Difficulties  it  lubour'd  an^r, 
it  made  its  way ;  and  was  it  not  a  bold  Stroke  to  set  up

Thou  hadst  no  eence  to  fbele :  nor  soule  to  greeue. 
But  6  thou  art  composed  of  sutler  parts ; 
And  seest  thy  losse  engraueu  in  our  heaits;

The  memorj-  of  sir  Thomas  Roe  having  been 
revived  by  the  letters  addressed  to  him  by  lord 
Carew,  printed  for  the  Camden  Society  in  1860, 
I  have  been  induced  to  transcribe  h'teratim  the  only 
specimen  of  the  metrical  >vritings  of  the  accom- 
plished knight  which  I  can  remember  to  have  met

GOETHE  ON  LORD  BTRON  AND  SIR  WALTER 
KCOTT. 

One  of  the  most  recent  books  on  Qoethe  litera- 
ture— a  volume  of  Goethe  conversations  {Goethe^g 
UnterhaUunt/en  mit  dem  KatuJer  Frtedt-ich  v.  Miil- 
for*)— contains  some  of  the  great  German  poet's 
judgments  and  views  respecting  English  literature 
and  its  representatives,  especially  Byron  and  Scott, 
which  I  think  of  undoubted  interest  to  English 
readers,  and  of  which  I  purpose  givinc  a  trans- 
lation. But  not  only  sucn  paragraphs  I  wish  to 
recommend,  but  the  wholo  little  volume  itself, 
comprising,  as  it  does,  many  wholesome  and  fresh 
remarks,  qjjhoriams,  and  apophthegms,  which  will, 
it  is  true,  not  show  us  Goethe  under  a  new 
aspect,  but  rather  confirm  our  conceived  notions 
and  ideas  of  him  as  a  conversationalist,  finding 
him,  as  we  almost  always  diiL  fond  of  even  some- 
what brush  irony,  presiding  Jupiter-like  over  his 
circle,  and  surrounding  his  parties,  suppers,  and 
little  and  intimate  r^wiiom  with  a  kind  of  court- 
atmosphere.  These  "  conversations,"  which  havo 
had  the  good  fortune  of  being  preserved  and  that 
of  being  edited  with  care,  were  noted  down  by 
the  late  Chancellor  Friedrich  von  Miillcr  (bom 
1779,  died  1849),  of  whose  interesting  and  valu- 
able little  volume,  Reminiscences  of  the  Times  of 
Wart  1806-13, 1  have  had  occasion  to  speak  in 
the  pages  of  this  journal,  when  extracting  from 
it  the  materials  for  Napoleon's  interview  with 
Wieland  ("N.  &  Q."  4»^  S.  iv.  61-63):  a  Ger- 
man who  has  during  his  whole  life  always  shown 
himself  to  be  possessed  of  a  true  and  high- 
minded  character,  even  if  judged  by  the  standard 
that  "  a  man's  life  is  his  character." 

Mr.  Burkhardt,  the  editor  of  these  UuterhaU- 
wiffcttj  who,  as  I  have  already  observed,  has  done 
his  work  with  great  care,  and  whose  nnnotations 
and  comments  as  well  as  the  excellent  iudex, 
make  tho  book  of  undoubted  interest  to  tho  lite- 
rary as  well  as  to  the  general  reader — Mr,  Burk- 
hardt would,  however,  have  done  well  to  extend 
his  "introduction"  {EinlcitunOf  vide  Unterhalt* 
unffent  pp.  i.-xii.)  over  a  somewhat  greater  space  of 
bioffrapbical  matter  relating  to  Von  Miiller.    Tho

jpoet  he  allowed  to  be  his  emiaf.  After  bis  return 
from  I^farienbnd  and  Karlabad,  he  mentioned 
(Soptembor,  1823)  that  no  other  autbira  hnd 
been  spoken  of  there  but  Byron  and  Scott.  Ho 
must  have  been  a  staanch  champion  of  Byron 'a, 
one  who  in  the  present  time  would  have  WJcn  fit 
topuiii^h  the  vile  gossip  that  had  its  source  surely 
in  an  impure  mind  eager  for  vulgar  applause,  by 
a  godlike  silence  or  by  bis  divine  thunder.  That 
Goethe  often  blamed  Lord  Byrtm  we  shall  see; 
but  he  remained  to  him,  ever  and  always,  the

"Of  Lord  Byron's  death,  be  observeti  that  it  had  happened 
}iiBt  in  the  nick  of  time.  *  His  Greek  undertaking  has 
had  something  impure,  and  would  never  have  ended  well. 
It  ia  a  great  misfortune  that  great  minds,  endowed  with 
sacb  rich  ideas,  absolutely  wish  to  see  their  Ideal  realised 
and  introduced  into  everyday  life.  This  cannot  be :  the 
Ideal  and  the  common-place  Rcalitv  must  be  strictly 
separated.'  "—Ante,  p.  90. 

November  18,  1824  :  — 

"Goethe  was  extremely  mild,  quiet,  and  inwardly 
dieerfal.  He  soon  came  to  speak  of  Lord  Byron.  *  By- 
ron,* he  said,  *  only  places  Pope  (den  alien  Pope)  on  so 
high  a  Mandard  on  account  of  having  in  him  an  invin- 
cible drawback.  Compared  with  Pope,  Byron  has  been  a 
giant ;  compared  with  Shakespeare,  on  the  other  hand,  a 
dwarf.  'Hie  ode  on  the  death  of  General  Moore  fof 
which  Goethe  always  ftpoke  in  raptures,  and  which  for 
many  years  waa  thought  to  be  a  poem  of  Lord  Byron  in 
Germany  as  well  as  in  France*]  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  poems  of  Byron.  Sheuey  must  have  been  a 
tuurrow-minded  fellow  not  to  feel  this  :  moreover,  Byron 
seems  to  me  to  have  been  far  too  kind  to  Shelley.  That 
Byron  has  taken  UgoHno  as  a  prototype  for  his  Pritoner 
of  Chilian  cannot  be  blamed  at  all:  the  whole  universe 
bdongs  to  the  Poet,  each  spirited  work  of  art  becoming 
in  turn  a  part  of  nature,  and  thus  the  later-bom  poet 
may  make  use  of  it  just  as  well  as  of  any  other  natural 
phenomenon.'  " — Ante^  p.  94. 

The  same  day  he  was  disparaging  Tom  Moore, 
and  speaking  of  the  favourable  impression  Lasrd 
Stratford's  departiu«  from  Coustantmople,  on  ac- 
count of  the  state  of  Greece,  had  made  upon  him. 
Speaking  thus  of  Greek  affaire,  Goethe  expressed 
a  different  opinion  from  that  of  June,  1824,  as 
regards  Lord  Byron's  influence  on  Greece  and  the 
Greeks : — 

** '  If  Lord  Byron's  life  had  been  spared,  he  wonld  have 
become  a  Lycurgua  or  a  Solon  for  Greece.* " — Ante,,  p.  94. 

On  December  17,  of  the  same  year,  Goethe  had 
a  long  talk  on  Byron's  Conversations: — 

"  *  I  am  reading  them  now  for  the  second  time.  I 
ibonid  not  like  to  miss  them  although  they  leave  behind 
a  painful  impreesion.  How  much  gossip  often  about  the 
moat  futile  things;  what  offences  taken  at  each  silly 
Jadgment  of  jonmalists ;  what  a  wild  life  with  dogs, 
monkeys,  peacocks,  horses;  eren'thing  without  connect- 
ing links!  Only  as  regards  taking  a  view  on  a  thing, 
Byron  judges  well  and  dearly;  reflection  is  not  his — 
Ml  judfnnents  and  combinations  are  often  those  of  chil- 
dren. With  what  patience  he  allows  himself  to  be  re- 
proached with  plagiarisms,  firing  only  small  shot  at  his 
antagonists  for  bis  defence,  instead  of  thundering  down 
open  them  with  heavy  cannons.  Does  not  everything 
tiiat  the  past  and  the  present  have  done  belong  by  right 

light." —  Kide,  pasnim  the  whole  es?ay  on  Ueinrich  Heine  ;

famous  German  translator  of  Calderon,  Tasso,  Ario^to,  and

oblivion),  translated  Wulfe'smaster-poem  as  being  Byron's.

to  the  poet  ?  Why  should  be  feel  afhud  of  colling 
flowers  wherever  be  nnds  them  ?  Only  by  appropriothig 
the  very  best  part  of  pother  people's  fmental J  treamzea, 
something  great  can  be  produced.  Have  I  not  myself 
made  use  of  Job  and  of  a  Shakespeare-song  for  Mtphuto- 
'  phelee  ?  Byron  was  mostly  unknown  to  himself  a  great 
poet ;  seldom  he  fully  enjoyed  his  own  self.'  " — Ante, 
pp.  95,  96. 

lu  May  of  the  following  year  (1825)  he  was 
speaking  of  the  mental  resemblance  between 
Madame  de  Stael  and  Byron  (tmt^f  p.  lOD ;  and 
in  June,  1827,  of  Parry's  narrative  of  tne  last 
days  of  the  great  English  poet  {anUj  p.  Ill),  but 
on  both  occasions  Von  Miiller  does  not  mention 
any  particulars.  Goethe  took  at  that  time  a  great 
interest  in  the  affairs  of  Greece,  and  one  day 
(A-ugust  13,  1827)  spoke  much  of  Canning  and 
of  his  premature  and  untimely  deaUi  (<mM, 
p.  115.) 

Remembering  how  difficult  a  thing  it  must 
have  been  to  ootain  English  books  in  Gennany 
some  forty  or  fifty  years  ago,  we  are  astonished 
how  many  of  them  found  their  way  to  Weimar, 
I  do  not  wish  to  speak  of  standard  works,  but  of 
less  known  or  less  universal  books,  whose  only 
merit  often  is  their  rarity.  Thackeray  tells  oa  in 
his  charming  "  Letter  "  that  forms  an  appendix 
to  Mr.  Lewes's  Life  of  Goethe,  that  even  the 
court  of  Weimar,  the  grandduke,  and  the  amiable 
Grandduchess  Luise  not  excepted,  borrowed  Eng- 
lish books  of  the  young  and  old  English  gentle- 
men and  gentlewomen  who  came  to  visit  Weimar, 
and  Goethe  must  always,  it  is  evident,  have  re- 
ceived the  lion's  share.  Thus  he  is  speaking  of 
Roger  Bacon's  works  (whom  he  greatly  and 
justly  admired,  anti,  p.  4), Moore's iVm«,  Howard's 
Climate  of  London  (which  he  highly  praised, 
ant^t  p.  47),  Flaxman's  much  admired  outlines, 
Lady  Morgan's  /to/y  (he  probably  read  the  Ger- 
man Weimar  edition,  1H21 — the  authoress  he 
fairly  hated — anti,  p.  48),  Mrs.  Hoscoe's  ^oral 
IlludrationSj  and  many  others.  Of  Carlyle  he 
began  to  think  very  highly.  "  We  spoke  of  Car- 
lyle's  article  "  (probably  the  one  on  Goethe  in  the

cannot  be  found  in  the  library  of  the  Facalty  of 
Advocates.  I  am  anxious  to  learn  if  William's 
charter  was  then  printed.  The  charter  is  his- 
toricaUy  important^  aa  it  shows  that  the  Scotish 
*'  Lion  "  was  in  his  "New  Forest  in  1171,  with  his 
army  and  counsellors,"  wdting  doubtless  for  a 
suitable  opportunity  of  passing  into  England  to 
redeem  his  pledge  to  the  ungrateful  son  of 
HeniT  n.  of  assisting  him  in  his  contemplated 
nbelUon.  The  writ  sets  forth  that  the  investiture 
of  tiie  earldom  took  place  at  Hyndhop-Bumeuthe. 
The  first  place  cannot  now  be  traced,  but  the 
second  still  remains,  and  is  pven  to  a  fishing 
village  a  few  miles  from  Berwick-on-Tweed.

at  Wolverhampton  in  1781,  and  is  among  those 
whose  memories  should  be  kept  green,  at  least  by 
the  followers  of  his  art.  He  is  described  as  being 
"  a  warm  advocate  for  his  company,  whose  cha- 
racter is  justified  by  the  fact  that  he  bequeathed 
his  veteran  performers  to  his  successors,  with  a

Two  liOTAL  Noblemen. — Lord  Clarendon,  in 
}iU  History  cf  the  Rebellion  (book  vi.  p.  26  vol.  ii. 
folio  ed.)  tells  an  amusing  story  of  two  noble- 
men, of  whom  Charles  I.  tried  to  borrow  money. 
The  second  is  so  clearly  defined,  that  there  is  no 
mistaking  him.    Who  was  the  first?  F.  H. 

[The  "  two  great  men  wbo  lived  near  Nottingham," 
were  Robert  Pierrepont  of  Holme  Pierrepont,  co.  Not- 
tiogbara,  created  Braron  Pierrepont  and  Viyscount  Newark, 
Jane  29, 1627,  and  Bad  of  Kin^on,  July  25, 1628.  Hii 
lordship  bore  bo  high  a  character  for  his  loyalty,  hoe- 
pitaiity,  and  liberality,  that  he  was  lunally  styled  by 
the  eommon  people  **tbe  good  Earl  of  Kingston."  Whilst 


engaged  in  the  service  of  Charles  I.  he  was  killed  in  an 
open  boat  near  Hall  on  July  80, 1G48.— The  other  "  great 
man"  was  Sir  Francis  Leke,  created  Baron  Deincoort 
9f  Sutton,  CO.  Derby,  Oct.  26, 162-1,  and  Earl  of  Scarsdale. 
B7ov.  11,  IClo.  nis  lordship  took  an  active  part  daring 
the  civil  war  in  the  royal  cause,  under  whrae  banner  two 
of  his  sons  laid  down  their  lives.  His  lnrd»hip  was  so 
effected  by  the  cruel  murder  of  Charles  I.  that  he  dotted 
bimself  in  sackcloth,  and  causing  his  grave  to  be  dog 
some  years  before  his  death,  laid  himnetf  therein  every 
Friday,  exercising  himself  therein  in  divine  meditation 
and  prayer.    He  died  in  1655.]

This  anecdote  forma  a  portion  of  au  able  essay 
on  art  and  artists  contribuiL'd  by  that  amateur 
nrtiat,  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Trimmer,  V'icar  of  Marston- 
on- Dove,  in  Derbyehire,  and  a  descendaut  of  Gains- 
borough's bosom  friend  Sir  Joshua  Kirbv.  To  the 
reverend  gentleman  we  are  indebted  for  several 
instructive  letters  bearing  on  the  anecdote,  and 
also  ou  the  difficulty  of  copying  Gainsborough's 
works :  for  usually^  he  ("ays,  such  cojiies  are  de- 
fective in  figures  or  in  the  landacapDa,  or  in  both,

tine  arts  lost  a  duvuteu  who  might  have  become  a 
bright  and  a  shining  star.

fine  old  puntings  of  his  uncle,  Arnold  Nesbitt, 
M.P.  for  Oricklade,  who  died  in  1774 ;  that  his 
brother  Arnold  was  chaplain  to  the  Prince  Re-  ' 
sent;  that  the  Prince  and  John  Neshitt  were  ' 
*'on  the  best  of  terms";  and  that  Mr.  Neshitt 
lived  at  Heston  from  about  1815  to  1820,  i 

As  regards  this  new  phase  in  the  history  of  the  ! 
"  Blue  Boy,"  namely,  its  having  formerly  belonged  I 
to  the  then  Prince  of  Wales,  there  is  not  only  the  i 
direct  testimony  of  Mr.  Nesbitt,  but  also  the  fol-  ! 
lowing  corroborative  considerations :  (1)  That  the  | 

Srince  was  a  patron  of  the  great  painter  when  | 
ving,  and  after  his  death,  we  are  told  by  the  ' 
Rev.  Mr.  Trimmer  that  he  sent  for  and  con-  ! 
doled  with  his  widow  on  the  loss  of  her  talented  : 
husband ;  (2)  That  it  was  about  the  hanging  of  | 
the  portmtfi  of  the  Princess  Koyal,  and  the  Prin-  i 
cesses  Augusta  and  Elizabeth,  punted  on  commis-  ' 
sion  for  tne  prince,  that  Gainsborough  (]^uarrellcd  ' 
with  the  K.A.S  and  exhibited  no  mure  pictures  at 
the  Royal  Academy  ;^  (3)  That  if  Master  Buttall  I 
was  the  planter's  subject  or  model,  he  would  be 
paid  the  usual  fee,  so  that  it  is  extremely  im-  i 
probable  that  either  he  or  his  father  ever  be-  , 
came  the  owner  of  the  finished  picture,  which 
owed  all  its  celebrity  and  value  to  the  extraor- 
dinary skill  of  the  painter  j  (4)  That  a  picture 
rendered  doubly  famous  by  artistic  skill  and  a 
professional  dispute  was  very  likely  to  attract  the 
notice  of  the  palnter^s  royal  patron,  and  be  pur- 
chased for  his  gallery,  where  its  fame  would  be 
extended,  as  it  was  extended,  amongst  the  highest 
of  the  land;  (5)  That  it  may  be  owing  to  the 
"  Blue  Boy  "  having  been  in  a  royal  gallery,  that 
no  trace  of  its  public  exhibition  has  yet  been  found 
by  the  writer  during  the  end  of  the  last  century 
or  the  beginning  of  this  one ;  and  (6)  that  the 
first  authentic  i-ecords  of  the  "Blue  Boy"  yet 
met  with  nncc  it  left  the  artist's  studio  are,  a 
description  of  it  when  in  Mr.  Nesbitt's  collection 
of  paintings,  and  a  brief  editorial  reference  to  it 
m  The  Times. 

Through  the  courtesy  and  urbanity  of  the  pre- 
sent head  of  the  lismore  family,  Alexander  j\es- 
bitt,  JBaquire.  T.C.,  we  are  enabled  to  quote  the 
following  aamirablo  description  of  the  original 
"  Blue  Boy  "  from  a  catalogue  of  his  great-uncle'e 
choice  paintingii,  and  which  speaks  for  itself : — 

"  No.  63.  Gainsboronrfu— A  whole-lei»ia:th  Figure,  with 
a  fine  Landscape  in  theBack-tiFound.  Thia  moat  incom- 
parable  perfurmance  ranka  thia  ver}-  celebrated  Master 
among  the  First  Class  of  Painters,  Ancient  and  Modern. 
It  has  the  Grace  and  Elegance  of  Van  Dyck  in  the 
Fieuro,  with  a  Conntcnaace  aa  forcibly  expressed  and  aa 
rich  aa  Murillo,  with  the  Management  of  a  Titian.  It  is 
a  Picture  which  cannot  be  too  highly  apoken  of  or  too 
much  admired." 

This  graphic  description  of  a  picture  about 
which  The  Time$  asks,  "Where  a  superior  to 
Gainsborough  in  a  fancied  portrait  P  "  becomes  of 
obvious  importance  as  a  standard  whereby  to  com- 


pare the  leading  features  of  the  two  claimants  to 
be  that  picture.  Glowing  as  is  this  early  descrip- 
tion, it  18  nevertheless  as  applicable  to  the  least- 
known  "Blue  Boy*'  now — "barring,"  perhaps, 
some  slight  *' foot-prints"  of  time  and  dried 
varnish — as  it  was  to  the  picture  in  Mr.  Nesbitt's 
collection  at  the  beginning  of  this  century.  A 
striking  proof  of  this  is  furnished  by  a  recently- 
written,  but  brief  outline  of  the  least  known 
"  blue-clad  "  boy  by  Kichard  James  Lone,  £aq., 
K.A.E.,  the  great-nephew  of  Gainsborough,  la 
acknowledged  authoiity  on  his  works,  and  aa 
artist  highlv  apoken  of  by  Allan  Cunningham  ts 
one  "  in  whom  much  of  his  great  uncle's  hjAnt 
survives."  In  the  same  spirit,  it  may  be  added, 
that  his  daughter,  Miss  Lane,  seems  to  inherit 
not  a  little  of  Gainsborough's  artistic  skill,  aa  an 
inspection  of  her  art-productions  will  show.  Mr. 
Lane  writes : — 

"  I  have  carefully  examined  the  picture.  The  figure  b 
more  elegant  than  the  Grosvenor  picture — the  chara^er 
of  the  face  far  more  pleasing — the  minutest  touches  of  tbe 
subordinate  parts  palpably  Gainsboro'a.  The  compara- 
tive smoothness  of  the  painting  of  the  face  might  sa^e^ 
the  hand  of  Dupont,  hia  nephew,  who  work«l  for  bin, 
hut  would  not  interfere  with  the  integrity  of  the  worii  is 
Gaiubborough'a." 

Now,  when  Mr.  Lane  wrote,  he  had  no  know- 
ledge of  the  early  artistic  description  of  the 
"  Blue  Boy  "  written  upwards  of  sixty  years  pie- 
viously,  neither  did  he  contemplate  writim;  la 
artistic  character  of  the  least  known  "blue-dad" 
which  he  could  so  well  do,  but  aimply  to  oonvej 
to  the  writer  (whom  he  had  not  even  seen)  bu 
opinion  of  the  integrity  of  the  picture  as  Gains- 
borough's. 

But  notwithstanding  the  disadvantage  to  Mr. 
Lane  of  comparing  his  inartistic  touches  wiA 
the  early  artistic  pen-and-ink  portrait,  there  i» 
found  in  both  of  them  the  some  reference  to  ele- 
gance of  figure  and  attractiveness  of  face.  Mi^ 
it  not,  then,  be  furly  held  that  this  very  remnk- 
ablo  community  of  ideas  and  expresaons  inses 
from  their  reference  to  the  same  picture,  but  at 
widely  different  periods  of  its  lifetime  ? 

In  that    able  work,    A   Century  of  Paa^ia%i 

by  Richard  Redgrave,    Esq.,    B.A.E.,  and  to 

,  brother   Samuel   Redgrave,    £eq.,  it    ia  fnnvt 

j  clearly,  and  convincingly  argued  that  the  lign, 

I  touchy,  sketchy,  off-hand  style  so  often  attribated 

I  to  Gainsborough  had  little  or  no  foondatiaD  ta 

rest  upon.     On  tlie  contrary,  it  is  shown  by  «- 

'  amplcs  and  contrasts  that  he  could  and  did  paint 

carefully  and  durably,  of  which  the  face  and 

figure  of  the  least  known  **  blue-dad  '*  may  1» 

cited  aa  other  examples. 

In  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds's  tribute  to  Gains- 
borough, another  characteristic  is  me&tioiiedt 
namely,  "  the  eager  desire  Gtunaborough  alwajf 
expressed  that  his  pictores  ahould  beaeen  nacif 
as  well  as  at  a  distance  " — a  criterion  wbkh  ii

applicable  to  the  leiut  known  "Blao  Boy."  To 
oon-professioaals,  at  least,  it  certmnly  appears  tbat 
tbe  nearer  the  obwrver  aiid  the  picture  are  to  nn 
•  nlinajy  coUTersational  distance  apart,  oa  the 
•Aoie,  or  nearly  the  same  level,  the  more  life-lUie

dark-eyed,  fresh-coloured,  '^blue-clad"  youth. 

The  talented  author  of  Modet-n  Painters,  John 
Kuskio,  M.A.,  contends  that  Qainsborough  is  the 
tinest  colourist  of  the  English  school;  that  his 
powef  of  colour  is  capable  of  tiikin^  rank  beside 

It  of  Kubens ;  tbat  his  forma  are  all  grand, 

iple,  and  English,  and  tbat  he  nerer  lost  sight 

pictur*  as  a  whole.     Now,  it  would  require 

luAkin  to  do  justice  to  the  power  of  colouriug 

thf  face  and  liguro  of  the  least  known  "  blue- 
lod,"  but   this  much  may  be   said,  thai,  m  a 
whole,   the  picture  is  a  fine  illuatralion  of  Mr. 
Kuskin's  conclusions.  J.  8,

they  never  obtain  it,  aad  unless  they  arc  itcrjnred  they 
Io«  the  bacou." 

A  few  vear«  later  Chaucer  alludes  to  it  iu  hia 
7ri/<?  of  ]3ath  :— 

*'  The  bacon  waa  not  flt  for  my  trow 
At  Emcx  in  Dunmow." 

Bi'fore  tbe  revival  of  the  custom  in  1855,  the 
lust  delivery  of  tho  flitch  occurred  on  the  iJOth  of 
Juue,  17ol.  David  O^borue  paiuted  a  very  accu- 
rate picture  of  this  on  the  spot,  which  is  now  in 
the  possession  of  Captain  Lucaa,  of  Hatfield  Pove- 
ril.     From  this  the  well-kuown  prints  were  taken. 

Sir.  Harrison  Ainaworih,  in  tno  preface  to  his 
tale  The  FUhh  of  Bactmj  says  that  a  custom  al- 
most precisLdy  Bimilnr  to  that  of  Dunmow  existed 
at  Wnichenoupe,  in  StAiloi-dahire-  Pcunant,  who 
visited  VVhichenoure  Uouse  in  1780,  states  that  it 
was  "renmrkabKt  for  the  paiuted  wooden  bacon 
flitch,  still  huit^  up  uver  the  hnll  chimney,  in 
memory  of  the  siui^ular  tenure  by  which  Sir  Philip 
de  SoinervUe,  in  tbe  time  of  Edward  ill.f  held  tho 
manor/'     The  oath  ran  as  foUowa  :— 

♦•Jlearye,  Sir  Philip  deSoraervUe,  lord  of  Whichenoure, 
muintainoT  and  giver  of  thia  bacon,  that  I,  A.,  syth  1 
wedded  B.,  ray  wife,  and  syth  I  had  her  in  my  kecpinfc 
nnd  nt  wyllc,  by  a  yerc  nntf  a  daye  after  our  raarn-of^e,  I 
would  not  have  changed  for  none  other,  fare  no'fowlcr, 
richer  nc  powrcr,  ne  for  none  other  descended  of  grcttfr 
Ivnage,  sleepioK  ne  waking  at  noo  time;  and  if  the  naid 
u.  were  Aole  and  I  sole,  1  would  take  lier  to  be  mv  wjfo

seyntvft,  and  thia  flesh  and  all  rtcshw. 

If  the  claimant  were  a  villeyn,  com  and  choe?a 
were  given  him  in  addition  to  the  flitcb,  and  a 
horse  was  likeiA-iso  provided  to  take  him  out  uf  the 
limits  of  the  manor,  all  the  free  tenants  thereof 
conducting   him    on    his  way   with    "  Irompets, 
tabouretj^,    nnd  other    manoir    of   mvn.4lralcie." 
Pcniuwt  observes  tlmt  it  Ims  ''remained  untouched 
from  the  first  century  of  its  iiiBtitution  to  tho  pre- 
sent."   The  custom  of  the  flitch  has  been  prac- 
tised in  France  and  Ltermany.     At  one  abbey  tho 
custom  waa  observed  for  COO  years  ;  and  Dr.  Boll 
states  that  at  the  abbey  of  W  icv  hung  a  flitch  of 
bacon  with  tho  following  lioes: — 
"  I«  therr  to  bo  found  a  married  man 
Tlinl  in  verity  di.*rlare  can

iiad  a  W}tA'^^  of  the  name  of  Ann  Uatfaaway,  ' 
Mid  to  be  a  dfucendiint  of  Shakespeare,  and  cer- 
tainly there  was  a  great  likenei^  to  his  portraits. 
It  was  A  favour  to  obtain  a  kiss,  but  if  this  was 
granted   it  was  expected  that  yoa  gave  her  a  i

hero  remark  that  about  three  ^ears  ago,  when  on  > 
H  visit  to  Atheratono,  AVarwickshire,  near  Mr.  [ 
liugdale's   lodge   gates,  I   met  with  a  very  old  ' 
man  Cabove  eighty;,  and  being  anxious  to  know 
of  the  inbubitants,  &c.|Of  the  neighbourhood,  in 
course  of  conversation  1  found  he  was  bom  at 
Stralford-on-Avon,  and  his  name  was  '*  William 
Hhakfi»peitre '' ;  he  wasthen  living  atOrendon,  and 
had  for  h  long  time  been  working  on  the  roads.    I 
could  get  nothing  frrjm  him  as  to  his  early  life  : 
he  left  with  his  motlier  when  very  young.    As  in 
the  case  of  Ann  Hathaway,  1  really  thought  the 
likeness  was  very  like  the  Shakespenre  profile. 
(ily.   Is  ho  living  P)    Perhaps  Sir  Geor^  Chet- 
wynd  of  Grendon  Hall  might  oe  able  to  give  some 
iuformatton. 

While  on  a  visit  at  a  farm-house  atBaddesley- 
Knsor,  I  frequently  heard  the  old  farmer  say  to 
the  maid  and  somulimcs  to  the  other  servants — 
"  (;omo  hackle  "  (or  kackele  or  hackel),  "  for  bed." 
I  have  not  met  with  the  word  kackle  in  "  N.  &  Q." 
('an  any  reader  of  *'  N.  &  Q."  say  where  it  may 
be  found  ?  On  a  barber's  sign  as  I  passed  I  read 
this  curious  request — ''  Come  to  tne  poll  and 
assist,  &r."     The  name  I  forget. 

Where  can  X  find  this  quotation  ? — 

*•  Why  Uo(!ii  thwn  fluai  torment  me  so  ? 
I  iieviT  <Uil  thorn  wronj; ; 
I'll  catch  them  with  my  furcfinger. 
And  crack  thorn  with  my  thumb." 

In  "  N.  &  Q."  (4i»'  S.  iii.  ;W2)  I  find  some 
notes  of  ilio  Norton  motto,  '*God  us  ayde,"  "The 
fait'  of  Iho  NortouH,"  kc, ;  and  a  Mr.  Stkphen 
Jackkon  of  theKhil(H,MiilhamMoor,  Craven,  says,

Northnniplon  (I  forget  which),  and  whose  arms

The  Norton  h«  alludes  to  was  a  distant  reUtiou 


of  myself:  his  name  was  Fletcher  Norton,  Esq., 
of  Eiton  Manor,  new  Bottesfotd,  whose  azicestor, 
Sir  Pletcher  Nortsn.  canse  from  Xorton  Conyen, 
near  Kip?n.  in  Yorkshire.  The  motto  is  "  I  have 
fought  uie  iTOod  fight.''  He  was  Speaker  of  the 
House  of  Commons.  I  cannot  at  thia  momest

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[4'»»S.V.  Ja:*.  1/70. 


As  to  Mr.  Hall's  suggesUon  of  nn  nrrange- 
ment  among  the  bookseUers,  I  thick  he  may  be 
right.  I  have  added  a  foot-note  to  p.  315  of  The 
Life  ofDanielDefoej  stating  that  *'  the  trad©  were  so 
chagrined  at  Taylor  having  secured  the  enormous 
pronts  of  Jiobinson  Crusoe  to  himself,  that  they 
formed  a  confederacy  to  publish  future  works  of 
our  author's  imaginative  genius." 

The  dates  of  all  the  other  entries  of  Defoe's 
-works  in  the  hooka  of  the  Stationers'  Company, 

3 noted  by  Mr.  Hall,  confirm  the  accuracy  of  the 
ates  respectively  stated  by  me  as  those  of  publi- 
cation. W.  Lbb. 

Bell  Inscriptionb  (4"'  S.  iv.  478,  620,  573.)— 
With  reference  to  the  statement  and  the  innuendo 
of  your  esteemed  correspondent  Mr.  Ellacombb 
^p.  573)  I  am  instructed  to  say,  that  the  volume 
which  I  mentioned  in  your  impression  of  the 
11th  uU.,  and  which  is  still  in  the  possession  of 
Me.s8r8.  Mears  and  Stainbank  of  Whitechapel,  con- 
tains fac-timiles  of  all  the  bell  inscriptions  copied 
in  Mr.  John  Mears's  book,  and  abo  of  many  others 
not  to  be  found  elsewhere.

Vttlcan  Dakct  (4*''  S,  i.  510,  590.)  —  Some 
time  ago  ■  I  queried  the  meaning  of  the  words 
^'  Vulcan  dancy,"  found  in  the  old  lyric  "  Hollo, 
my  Fancy ! "  and  I  now  think  I  can  answer 
my  own  question — for  I  was  not  satisfied  with 
your  editorial  explanation  about  the  *'  welkin  " — 
«'word,  by  the  by,  which  has  nothing  to  say  to 
a  "wheel"  or  a  "circle,"  in  my  opinion. 
The  answer,  which  I  think  is  the  true  one, 
comes  curiously  enough  from  her  Majesty's  castle 
of  Balmoral,  where,  on  a  late  festive  occa- 
sion, some  Highland  lads  and  lasses  performed 
several  dances,  among  which  the  report  mentions 
the  Hulican—A  name  I  never  saw  before,  but  one 
eminently  calculated  to  catch  the  eye  of  an  ety- 
mologist. I  think  it  gives  an  explanation  of  the 
above  J'quory.  Having  made  one  discovery  I 
fltumbU'don  another,  which,  if  you  have  no  objec- 
tion, I  shall  make  a  "  note  "  of  here.  I  had  in 
fact  seen  the  HuUcan  before,  without  knowing  it, 
for  I  now  believe  it  is  the  "  Ulican  "  of  the  Jllican- 
ilubh-o,  the  title  of  one  of  the  old  Irish  melodies. 
The  Irish  etymologists  all  say  that  this  means 
"  Little  Black  Cow/'  or  something  of  that  sort, 
which,  I  think,  is  a  good  old  Irish  blunder.  The 
term  signifies  "  a  dancing  or  choral  measure." 
This  could  bo  proved  by  a  little  show  of  ety- 
mology ;  but  the  reader  will  take  the  Balmoral 
boys'  word  for  it,  the  Ulican  or  HuUean  means  a 
**  dance."  As  for  the  word  dubh-o,  it  has  appa- 
rent!;^ the  same  meaning.  I  think  I  see  it  in  the 
Moorish  dimmOj  the  Berber  demke^  and  the  Arab 
towifj  all  meaning  "dance,"  and  represented  in 
Irish  by  the  word  dump,  a  certain  kind  of  ancient 


melody.  Ulicanduhho  was  certainly  a  roimd 
dance  like  Hulican.  And  here  I  might  astonish 
the  Celtic  etymologists  by  stating  that  the  words 
Drimmeen-dubhOy  tne  name  of  another  Irish  air, 
have  the  exact  meaning  of  Znicanduhho — a 
"dance  "  or  "choral  movement " — the  usual  free 
translation  of  the  term  being  "  Little  Black  Cow," 
as  before.  Strange  that  they  should  so  jumble 
up  this  heavT-footed  good  creature  with  the  light- 
heeled  and  frolicsome  Terpsichore.  But  bo  it  is. 
I  may  here  add,  that  the  Irish  dreim,  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  dryme,  and  the  old  French  Untrim,  all  mean 
music  and  dancing  measure. 

So  much  for  the  "  Vulcan  Bancies  "  of  England, 
Ireland,  and  Scotland  ;  the  same  things  or  newly 
the  same,  like  a  great  many  other  things  English, 
Irish,  and  Scotch  which  seem  to  "  stand  off  in 
differences  so  mighty."  "W.  D.

Meaning  of  "Lttn"  (2"*  S.  x.  287,  33G.)- 
The  interesting  article  by  Mr.  W.  H.  HrsK, 
headed  "Three  Early  Pantomimes"  (4"^  S.  iv. 
500),  called  to  my  recollection  an  inquiry  made 
in  your  pages  many  years  ago  as  to  toe  meaning 
of  Lun  in  the  following  couplet  quoted  front 
Churchill's  Jiotciad : — 

"  On  one  side  FoUy  sits,  br  some  called  Fun, 
And  on  the  other  his  archpatron  Lao." 

The  lines,  as  the  inquirer  justly  stated,  being  made 
more  obscure  by  Park's  note,  which  explains  that 

"  Mr.  John  Rich,  the  raanapfcr  of  Covent  Gardsi, 
acquired  the  name  of  Lun  by  bis  excellent  performance 
of  Harieqain.  in  which  he  remained  mirivalled  for  half  i 
century." 

As  this  queiT  was  not  answered  (except  pa^ 
tially  by  myself)  it  may  be  as  well  to  note  for 
the  benefit  of  future  readers  of  Churchill,  as  well 
as  for  all  who  connect  the  name  of  Lun  with  Hicb, 
that 

"  Lun  had  been  the  name  of  the  famous  man  who  repre- 
sented Harlequin  at  Paris ;  therefore,  whenever  Mr.  KiiA 
appeared  as  Harlequin,  the  name  of  Lun  was  inMrtedin

Origin  of  thb  "Word  "  Asmonran"  (4'*'S.iT. 
448.) — This  word  was  the  appellative  of  the  valiant 
family  of  Mattalhias,  and  signifies,  according  to 
Eichhom  (Ajyok.  Schrif.  216),  great  or  noble  nj«; 
but  at  length  came  into  use  as  a  nomen  proprim. 
Hence  the  books  which  described  their  noble  ac- 
tions were  sometimes  called  by  the  ancient  fathers 
the  boolM  of  the  Asmonaans.  Josephus  calls 
these  warriors  'A<rafiovtuoif  fi  'Aaafioymm:f  ytnd ;  aUo, 
ol  'Affatiovaiov  Tiai5«y  tKyovoi  (^Antiq.  xii.  0,  1,  DT.

epoDdents.  The  yawksy  or  gaudets^  were  the 
larger  beodB  in  the  rotary,  or  patemo&tor,  being 
00  called  in  ftllusion  to  Luke  i.  15 ;  the  smaller 
beadfl  biing*  cdlbd  axti. 

The  t  and  c  being  often  uaed  intorchangeably 
in  writing,  escroifz  should  probably  be  written 
erfroi/s,  moaning  "  2  baldekins  of  narrower  breadth 
from  beyond  sea.'' 

Seiti  tior,  probably  means  a  "saddle-cloth  of 
gold." 

Image  de  eokiUe — "imago  of  shell" — means  a 
cameoj  probably  on  a  plate  of  gold.

The  Phrase  "Dear  mb"  (-l'"  S.  ir.  631.)— 
There  can  be  little  doubt,!  think,  that  tho  phrase 
'*Oh  deor  me'*  ia  a  corruption  of  tho  8pnuiah 
"  Ay  de  mi"  ("  Woe  is  me' ),  known  to  many  of 
your  renders  prohalily  in  the  burden  of  the  .Spanish 
poem,  "Ay  de  mf,  Alhama."  It  wasi  ndoj.tt-d 
probably  aGout  the  time  of  James  I, :  nnd  when 
once  in  use,  aucIi  curl  ospre.*«ions  as  "  Dear  me," 
*'  Oh  dear,"  *'  Dear,  dear,'*  would  come  to  be  used 
in  time  almost  as  a  matter  of  course.

The  shadow  of  the  axe  on  the  Towor  wall  is  a 
story  which  I  discredit,  as  utterly  as  I  do  it*  prior 
appearance  in  1848.  I  was  at  that  period  resident 
within  that  fortress;  and,  had  such  a  marvel 
occurred,  must  have  heard  of  it  from  one  or  other 
of  my  neighbours.  Its  penuy-a-Iinor  has,  bow- 
ever,  chosen  a  favourable  date  for  hia  iuvenlion —

[4*S.V.  Jas.!,*??. 


Death  of  William  James  Smith,  Es4). — It  is  with 
great  regret  that  we  annonnce  the  death  of  thia  accom* 
pluhetl  gentleman,  who  was  formerly  Librarian  at  Siowe, 
where  be  ^nbtleu  acquired  mnch  of  that  intimate 
knowledge  of  the  men  and  politica  of  the  past  century, 
which  enaUed  him  to  edit  so  eflectually  the  fonr  vols,  of 
GrtmUU  Papertj  published  by  Mr.  Mun^y  in  1Bj2.  Mr. 
Smith's  Essay  in  the  third  Tolame,  in  which  he  main- 
tained that  Lord  Temple  wrote  the  celebrated  letters  of 
Janios,  was  very  ingenious  if  not  convincing.  Mr.  Smith 
was  at  the  time  of  bis  death,  which  took  place  on  Christ- 
mas Day,  in  tlie  sixty-ninth  year  of  his  age. 

Death  of  Thomas  Creswick,  M.\, — English  Und- 
acttpe-painting  has  lost  one  of  its  most  genial  exponents 
in  Mr,  Thomas  Creswick,  whose  works  bare  for  upwards 
of  forty  years  regularly  graced  the  walls  of  the  Boyal 
Academy.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  which  took  pUu»  on 
the  28th  Dec,  Mr.  Creswick  was  in  his  fifty-ninth  year. 
"  His  works,**  says  The  TimeSf  "  like  himself  were  plea- 
sant and  cheerful,  erer  taking  the  sunny  Tiew  of  nature, 
and  by  his  death  the  public  has  lost  a  benefactor,  and  the 
profeasioD  an  esteemed  brother." 

The  Aihetueum,  which  has  been  slightly  enUige<l  to 
meet  the  requirements  of  additional  space  rendered  neces- 
aaiy  to  give  ^ect  to  the  increased  attention  which  foreign 
literature  is  to  receive  In  its  columns,  will,  it  is  nndor- 
stood,  be  from  this  time  conducted  under  the  immediate 
sopezintendcnce  of  Sir  Charles  W.  Dllke. 

Rumour  is  reported  to  have  done  scant  justice  to 
Mr.  Twisleton's  forthcoming  volume  on  Jl':viu8,  which, 
it  is  said,  will  contain  some  new  and  remarkable  docu- 
ments calculate!  to  clear  up,  in  a  very  striking  manner, 
the  mystery  in  which  the  authorship  of  thoe  extra- 
ordinary I<ett€rs  has  hitherto  been  involved. 

Death  of  Wilhblm  Wackeiuiagxu — English  phi- 
lologists will  learn  with  deep  regret  the  death  of  this 
accomplished  pupil  of  Lachmenn,  whose  reputation 
almost  equals  that  of  the  brothers  Grimm.  His  Deutteheg 
Leubuch  and  Dtut$che$  WarUrhuch  are  doubtless  well- 
known  to  many  of  our  readers.  Like  the  Grimms,  he 
was  not  only  an  able  and  industrious  editor  of  early 
monuments  of  German  national  literature,  but  a  frequent 
contributor  to  Hoffman  von  Fallersleljen's  Att'DeutMche 
Bi&tter,  and  other  periodicals  of  a  similar  character;  and 
was,  moreover,  a  jmet  of  no  ordinary  ability.  Wacker- 
nagel  was  bom  at  Berlin  in  1806, 

The  mention  of  Wackemagers  contributions  to  the 
archanlogical  and  philological  journals  of  Germany  re- 
mind* us  that  DUmmler  of  Berlin  has  just  issued  the 
fourth  volume  of  Jacob  Grimm's  Kleinere  Schriftenf 
which  contains  upwards  of  sixt^-  articles  on  literature, 
folk-lore,  mythology,  and  superstitions,  not  of  Germany 
only,  but  of  almost  all  people  and  languages.

ch&noel;  one  in  the  gable  of  the  dooi^ln  the  oast 
wall  of  tho  sofuth  transept.  The  bust  is  within  a 
quatrefoil;  tho  others  have  bod  brass  crosses 
inlaid  within  a  ciicle. 

Affixed  to  a  pier  in  Aahbourno  church,  Derby- 
suire,  is  the  plate  from  the  original  dedication 
stone,  which  waa  fouud  dtuiiig  some  repairs.  It 
bears  the  inscription  in  uiajtiscule  letters  :  — 

••ADno  ab  laciiniadoufl  Dni  M"tv*JC»M  viii*-  kl'  Mali

The  foundation  stone  of  the  church  of  S. 
>[iohael,  Peukevel,  Comwall,  id  in  the  norlb- 
eiist  angle  of  tbo  chancel,  and  consists  of  a  slab  of  • 
l^ranite  about  5  inches  thick  by  2  feet  G  inches 
square.  It  was  laid,  no  doubt,  ns  Mr.  Street 
informs  us,  in  the  time  of  Bishop  Walter  BroDe»- 
combe,  at  the  consecration  of  the  church  on 
August  \'\  12C1,  in  honour  of  S.  Michael.  It 
bears  a  cross  patt^c  and  the  letters  sci  uicua  ABcnX 
and  also  wau  kpi,  commemorating  the  patron 
iaiot  and  the  bishop.  Both  of  these,  however, 
appear  to  be  rather  dedIc4itiou  than  foundation 
stones.  Another  example  U  preserved  in  the 
wall  uf  the  chapter-boii»ei  uf  Christ  Church, 
Oxford,  beiDj^  the  foundation  or  dedication  stone 
of  Wolsey'*  College  at  Ipswich,  laid  Juno  15 
1528,  by  the  Bishop  of  Lydda.  It  \a  engraved 
in  Dr.  Ingram's  Memoriah  t^ Oxford. 

With  regai-d  to  tie  deposit  of  coins  in  founda- 
tion stones,  an  earlv  instance  is  mentioned  in 
Trollope's  Life  of  l-'ilippo  tSOosd,  in  quoting  a 
dinry  of  the  period.  1  ho  writer  was  present  os 
the  concrete  fur  th)>  foundation  of  the  Strozxi 
palace  was  euuiplete'I,  and  relates  that  as  became 
up  at  that  moment  Filippo  himself  was  there,

Beferring  to  the  Commune  of  St.  Jacut-du-

bci^ars  (^mentHaits  sans  responsabilitti}  on  tliesu  condi- 
tions :  first  that  they  should  be  enclosed  within  the  first 
year ;  and,  secondly,*  that  they  should  bo  put  in  course  of 
cultivation,  and  paid  for  in  five  years.  The  poor  set 
themselves  to  work ;  tlioy  labourctl  with  borrowed  tools 
for  three  days  in  each  week,  and  the  other  three  days 
were  engaged  in  seeking  for  food  to  enable  them  to  toll. 
And  here  now  are  the  results  of  such  proceedings :  The 
popnhition  of  664  iuhabitants  lia^,  in  the  courac  of  thirty 
3'ears,  increa^d  to  more  than  1,039,  the  soil  cleared  for 
tillage  is  fully  600  hectari'S,  w^hilst  the  number  of  those 
who  may  be  r^jarded  as  really  indigent  is,  at  present,  no 
more  than  twenty.  Grand  and  magnificent  solution  of  a 
most  difficult  problem  —  poor  beggnrs  have  been  changed 
into  landed  proprietors !  — Geographic  tl^p'trtnnientaie  den

Seven  years  have  passed  away  since  this  curious 
fitatemeut  was  published,  and  one  cannot  but  feel 
a  curiosity  to  know  how  these  new  landed  proprie- 
tors are  "  progressing."  As  the  canton  adjoins  that 
in  which  X  am  now  residing,  it  is  my  intention, 
when  the  fine  weather  comes,  to  pay  a  visit  to 
Suint-Jacut-du-Mend  j  but  before  doing  eo  I  think 
it  will  be  well  to  have  some  extra  sow  iu  my 
pockets,  as  I  appreliend  an  extra  demand  being 
made  by  some  of  the  "  gentry  *'  to  be  found  in 
that  locality.  \V3t.  15.  Mac  Cabe.%

"  Leaving  kg  Stone  unturned." — There  is  a 
curious  employment  of  this  phra-so  in  its  literal, 
not  in  its  metaphorical,  sense  in  Ludolf 'b  Ethiopia^ 
quoted  by  Jardino,  NtUuralisti Library j "  AnimcJs," 
xiii.  74,  note :  — 

"Of  apes  there  are  infinite  flocks  up  and  down  in  the 
mountains,  a  thou!>and  and  more  tog'^thcr.  Theii  leave 
no  stone  unturned.  If  they  meet  one  that  two  or  three 
cannot  lift,  they  call  lor  more  aid,  and  all  for  the  sake  of 
the  worms  that  lie  under — a  sort  of  diet  which  they 
rclibh  exceedingly." 

The  use  of  the  phrase  seems  curious  to  me,  and 
it  may  perhaps  interest  your  readers.

Club-foot:  Kikk-wipe. — Amongst  the  pea- 
santry of  Annandale  the  term  kirk-y^ipe  is  still 
fre(juently  applied  to  that  speciea  of  lamenesa 
which  we  dutinguish  by  the  name  of  Mt-fvjt ; 


and  the  reason  for  their  use  of  audi  ft  singular 
term  ia  thus  explained:  If  a  woman,  while 
pregnant,  happen  to  enter  a  churchyard  and  inad- 
vertently wipe  her  feet  upon  a  grave,  the  ehild 
which  she  bears  will  be  club-footed,  or  kirk- 
toiped;  hence  the  phrase,  "  he  or  she  has  a 
kirk-mpe."  This  strange  opinion  haa  no  doubt 
originated  from  the  devout  reverence  which  it  i» 
natural  to  par  to  the  remains  of  the  departed^  and 
the  disregard  of  which  was  anciently  believed 
to  incur  immediate  puoishment  by  sapematnral 
agency.  (Vide  Dumfries  Monthly  Magasin€t  Sep-

Tap-boosi  Ethics. — On  looking  into  the  Tarioae

Grantham,  the  other  day,  I  found,  painted  in 
white  letters  on  a  black  ground,  the  followmg 
lines : — 

"  Since  man  to  man  is  so  unjust, 
Xo  man  can  UM  what  man  to  trust ; 
I  have  trusted  many  to  my  sorrow, 
So  pay  to-day  and  trust  to-morrow."

HEXEV  BUCKLE. 
This  is  the  creed,  let  nn  man  chuckle, 
Of  the  great  thinker  Henry  Buckle :  — 

I  believe  in  fire  and  water, 

And  in  Fate,  dame  Nature's  daughter. 

Consciousness  I  set  aside, — 

The  dissecting  knife  my  guide. 

I  believe  in  steam  and  rice, 

Not  in  virtue  nor  in  vice ; 

Iu  what  strikes  the  outward  sense, 

Not  iu  mind  nor  providence; 

In  a  stated  course  of  crimes. 

In  Macaulav  and  the  **  Times." 

As  for  "  truth"  the  ancients  lobt  her; 

Plato  was  a  great  impostor. 

Morals  are  a  vain  illusion, 

Leading  only  to  confusion. 

Not  in  Latin  nor  in  Greek 

Let  us  for  iustruction  seek ; 

Fools  like  Bossuet  that  might  suit, 

Who  had  better  have  been  mute; 

Let  lis  study  snakes  and  flies, 

And  on  fossils  fix  our  eyes. 

Would  wc  lenru  what  men  should  do, 

Let  us  watcli  the  kangaroo ! 

W^ould  we  know  the  mental  march : 

It  depends  ou  dates  and  starch ! 

I  believe  in  ^1  the  gases 
As  a  means  to  raise  the  masses. 
Carbon  animates  ambition, 
Oxvgen  controls  volition ; 
Wh&tever*s  good  or  great  in  men 
May  be  trac^  to  hydrogen ;

Crksts. — I  have  kioked  in  rain  through  the 
Meyrick  Collection,  now  at  South  Kensington,  for 
an  instance  of  a  crest  attached  to  a  helmet.  In 
flomo  of  the  helmets  I  observe  small  sorew-holes 
in  the  crown,  apparently  intended  for  the  attach- 
ment of  a  crest  or  device  of  some  kind.  Can  any 
uno  refer  me  to  any  work  on  heraldry  or  armour, 
English  or  German,  where  1  can  see  helmets 
figured  with  the  crests  attached  P  Am  I  correct 
in  soppoifing  that  in  some  cases  the  crown  of  the 
helmet  was  fashioned  into  the  shape  of  some 
heraldic  monster;  in  other  words,  tnat  the  top 
of  the  helmet,  which  covers  the  cruwn  of  the 
wearerV  head,  was  raised  into  a  conical  form  ter- 
minating iu  a  device  or  crest  ?  I  think  I  hare 
t^icu  something  of  the  kind  figured  iu  the  illustra- 
tions to  some  German  romance,  but  the  idea  may 
have  originated  in  the  brain  of  the  artist.  Many 
of  the  helmets  at  South  Kensington  have  sockets 
behind  for  the  plume ;  but  none  of  the  tiltiug 
helmets  appear  to  have  been  intended  to  carry 
crests.   Were  such  ever  used  in  the  tournaments  ;*

Kit's  Cott  Hoxtsb,  —  On  rieiting  Kit*«  Coif 
House  near  Maidstone,  Kent,  a  few  months  ago^ 
I  was  informed,  by  a  person  wiko  apparentlTknev 
something  of  the  country  round  about,  of  the  fol- 
lowing common  belief  by  the  rnstica  of  the  dis- 
trict. It  is  paid  by  them  that  a  pool  of  water 
contained  in  a  hollow  on  tho  top  of  the  capstoos 
never  dries  up.  not  even  in  the  hottest  weather, 
when  it  might  reasonably  be  supposed  to  soon 
evaporate.  I  csnnot  spt'ak'yjra  or  con  the  truth  of 
thiB  as^rtion,  as  I  did  not  climb  to  the  top  of  the 
cromlech,  being  able  to  obtain  all  the  data  I  thca 
required  without  doing  so.  The  legend — for  I 
take  it  to  be  nothing  else — ^did  not  strike  me  st 
the  time  very  forcibly ;  but  since  my  return  home 
I  see  it  has  been  noticed  br  a  correspondent  to  tho

of  Exeter,  in  the  year  1310,  ''four  whitwihans

diirered  in  shape,  and  what  is  the  derivation  of 
"hamoundes".*'  I  suspect  its  root  to  be  Anglo-

PAiGXToy  Episcopal  Falacb. — The  Devon-

palace  of  the  Bishops  of  Exeter  at  Paignton  have 
I  just  been  sold,  together  with  the  land  formexif 
1  its  deer  pari;,  to  a  Captain  Ridgway,  and  that  it 
I  was  formerly  the  residence  of  Mile*  Coreidile, 
who,  according  to  tradition,  made  his  tranalttioii 
of  the  Bible  into  English  in  one  of  the  nppn 
rooms  of  the  tower'  now  standing.    "Where  sbaU 
I  find  an  authentic  account  of  Pugnton  Palaeef

a  tasto  for  such  beautiful  scenery;  or  who»  peifaspi^ 
being  an  inrulid,  might  have  resorted  to  it  ibr  the  Mka 
of  bathing  and  inhaling  the  sea-breese.  At  the  begimhv 
of  this  century,  in  the  portion  contignoos  to  the  dtar^

tiuns,  aud  it  is  probable  tbe  least^known  *'  Blue 
Boy  *'  mny  yet  prove  to  have  been  one  of  them. 
Moat  unobtriwivcly  plnced  on  the  right  corner  of

nnce  oa  old  aa  the  picture,  and  of  tho  same  mate- 
rial and  colour  as  the  foreground.  The  gooerat

notes  tells  who  Master  Buttall  was — he  knew  that 
it  was  then  ill  'Mr.  Hoppncrs  possession.  But  he 
appears  to  have  had  no  knowledge  whatever  of 
the  Grosvenor  "  Blue  l^oyJ**  uiile^  it  might  have 
been  as  an  unnoticeable  copy. 

It  appears  from  Mr.  Gale,  of  47,  nin:h  Ilolboni, 
formeriT  referred  to,  it  wai«  n  tradition  of  the 
trade  tnat  the  Grosvenor  "  Blue  Boy"  was  more 
than  once  restored  or  made  up  as  it' passed  from 
one  dealer  to  another,  nt  real  or  alleged  higher 
and  hig:her  prices,  from  the  time  when,  without  a 
franio,  it  waa  bought  for  "a  few  shillings"  at 
Bingham's  auction-rooms  by  one  trader,  and 
the  time  when,  skilfully  made  up  if  not  also 
relinod  as  a  conaei^uence,  and  rightly  framed,  it 
was  sohi  by  another  trader  to  Earl  Grosvenor. 

In  most  ca^s  of  making  up  pictures  in  the 
absence  of  the  original  one,  it  is  instructive  to 
observe  the  differences  which  arise,  and  of  which 
the  oil-coloured  nnd  made-up  photographs  of  the 
Westminster  picture  furnish  a  ca«o  in  point.  All 
of  these  photos  that  we  have  seen  were  originally 
defective,  and  when  made  up  without  tbe  picture 
aa  a  guide,  they  differ  in  the  make-up  and  in  the 
shades  of  colour  with  the  original,  and  also  with 
one  another,  when  different  artists jhave  "minia- 
tured'* them.  If  then  the  AVeatminster  "Blue 
Boy  "  was  oriirinally  a  defective  copy  of  the  ori- 
rinal  "  Blue  Boy,"  bb  the  low  price  it  fetched  at 
tue  sale  suffieientlyindicates— for  no  known  Gains- 
borough would  have  been  sold  at  any  such  price — 
and,  with  a  made-up  history,  was  made  up  for  sale 
in  tho  absence  of  the  original  picture,  it  will 
account  for  any  difleroncos  in  the  colouring,  face, 
iigurc,  and  landscape  which  may  ho  found  to 
exist  between  the  two  "  blue-clad»." 

Whether  Gainsborough  did  or  did  not  paint 
both  of  them— tho  Westminster  "  Blue  Boy  "  as 
thn  first,  hut  rejected  one ;  and  tho  other,  as  the 
finished  picture,  which  went  at  once  into  the 
highest  society  and  is  still  a  treasure  of  art,  is  a 
question  on  which  much  might  bo  said.  Among 
tlioso  who  think  it  possible  that  hp  might  have 
painli-d  both  picturifs  there  are  Gainsborough 
i)upont,  Esq.,  the  dt^rficcndant  of  the  artist's 
nephew  nnd  pupil  of  the  t»ame  name,  and  the 
Boy.  Mr.  Trimmer. 

It  is  not,  however,  uutil  many  years  aftpr  the 
ptunter's  death  in  Aug.  178?:*,  that  two  "Blue 
Boys"  came  into  notice,  and  then  the  original 
picture  was  not  the  one  in  the  Grosvenor  collec- 
tion. It  is,  however,  pnsNible  tliat  a  spoilt  first 
trial  may  havo  hvfn  j^ivpn  by  Gaiuflborough  to 
Master  Buttill.  and  wliich  ultimately  became  the 
Grosvenor  "  Blue  Boy.*'   It  oppeara  that  Mr.  But- 


tall  removed  from  Greek  Street  to  King  Street, 
Soho,  and  that,  either  through  death  or  otW 
cam^,  his  name  disappeared  fh)m  the  Diredoiy 
about  1797.  Poasibly  tlie  son  was  left  not  **om- 
well-off,"  got  into  urears  of  rent,  and  had  kb 
effects,  spoilt  picture  and  all,  sold  at  Bingham*! 
auction-rooms  in  the  manner  related. 

There  is,  it  should  be  diatioctly  understood,  no 
desire  to  call  in  question  the  artistic  metits  of  ^e 
Westminster  "  Blue  Boy,"  or  the  high  enooDuanu 
which  have  been  written  in  ita  praise,  bat  ablyt» 
show  that  it  is  not  the  orlpinal  **  Blae  Boy "  ttd 
that  ther^  is  another  of  stUl  higher  merits^  cen- 
sequently  entitled  to  ^tiU  higher  pruae  froa  fbs 
public  and  art  critics. 

JSxaniinafionA  of  tht  leatt-kno^cn  "  Wtfe-etod*— 
Since  my  last  commumcation  thii  jnctor^  ha 
been  critically  examined  both  h^  artiste  m  ^ 
highest  standing  and  by  experienced  jpettm? 
dealers,  with  very  satisfactoiy  results. 

Tbe  scepticism' naturally  arising  towards  a  Biv 
claimant  for  equality  with,  or  pre-emioB&ce  ore 
an  old  favourite,  led  to  a  far  more  severe  eu- 
minatiou  of  the  picture  than  uanaL  Of  oooxs 
there  were  some  who,  deep  la  the  Westminster 
faith,  were  perhaps  cautiously  inclined  to  ds- 
mignate  it  "  a  replica  attribitttd to  Oalnsborough ;' 
but  against  ancn  an  opinion  a  high  ftuthonQr 
urges,  with  nil  the  might  due  to  ^at  knowled^ 
and  long  experience,  an  unhesitating  protest  tow 
made  and  acted  upon,  in  which  advice  other  com- 
petent judges  also  concur.  Indeed,  it  is  the 
expressed  opinion  of  several  of  those  who  have 
examined  the  picture,  that  tliere  is  not  a  G«Qi- 
borough  in  the  National  Gallery  to  equal  x^  oa 
merits,  and  that  if  placed  at  a  proper  ha^t 
besidti  ''the  portrait  of  Br.  Schombeig,"  de^- 
natcd  as  "one  of  the  finest  In  the  world,"  uifl 
"  Boy  in  IMue  "  would  easily  carry  off  tho  hononis 
of  attraction  from  the  "  Man  in  Brown,''  as  i 
fascinating  and  attractive  work  of  art. 

lu  such  a  case  differences  of  opinion  were  to  w 
looked  for,  but  they  took  the  lorm  generally  of 
again  differing  as  to  which  part  of  tho  picltw 
should  be  used  whereon  to  hang  an  objection 
or  raise  a  discusaion.  For  example,  one  judge 
thought  the  thoroughly  English  face  not  vigonnu 
enough,  although  the  whole  fi^re  is  an  "at  et*" 
one,  where  tho  vigour  of  action,  or  a  manly  tone 
of  face,  would  be  inappropriate.  A  fine  boyiali 
face  and  a  well-developed  figure  were  alooe 
required,  and  aro  alone  given.  But  here  «o 
would  ask,  was  the  "subject'*  a  "model"  forth* 
portrait  chosen  for  a  rcal  resemblance  to  Gains- 
borough  himself  when  young,  and  handsome  as  he 
always  was  ?  If  so,  may  it  not  then  be  possible 
that  the  calm  thought  which  is  so  well  expressed 
in  that  sweet  English,  Murillo-like  face,  and  tbs 
fine  proportions  which  are  so  ably  painted  and 
coloured  in  the  bust,  limbs,  and  finely-tuned

there  also.  The  photograph  of  this  "blue-clad/* 
kindly  lent  br  Mk,  Cabbs  for  iuspection,  shows 
a  boy  in  the  dress  of  the  period,  apparently  stand- 
ing on  a  warden  wall  and  wistfully  eyeing  a  fruit 
tree,  as  if  longing  to  pluck  and  eat  some  of  its 
&uit  It  brings  to  mind  Gainsborough's  early 
garden- breaker  gettino:  over  the  wall,  which  cre- 
ated a  sensation  at  budbury,  and  indicated  the 
talents  which  culmioated  in  the  "  Blue  Boy  "and 
other  first-class  works  of  art. 

In  the  picture  of  "  the  Baillie  Family,"  by 
Gainsborough,  there  is  a  blue-clad  bor  and  a 
partly  blue-clad  girl  with  a  shoe  and  blue-tie, 
almost  a  facsimile  of  those  of  the  least-known 
''  Blue  Boy "  in  neatness  and  colouring,  whilst 
the  feet  of  the  Westminster  boy  appear  to  be 
quite  different  and  disproportioDately  long.  A^n, 
in  the  "  Rustic  Children,"  also  by  Gainsborough, 
the  blue  ''lights  "  of  the  landscape  are  similar  to 
the  blue  "  Hghts"  in  the  landscape  of  the  least- 
known  "Blue  Boy." 

Now,  these  ana  other  instances  of  blue-clads — 
a  lady,  as  well  as  boys  and  girls — in  the  absence 
of  any  data  to  support  the  usually  received  opi- 
nion, hare  led  us  to  think  it  probable — (1)  That 
the  almost  inimitable  skill  with  which  Gains- 
borough utilised  the  coldest  of  cold  colours — 
blue — in  portrait  and  landscape  painting,  had  made 
an  impression  which  the  president  wished  to 
moderate  hf  cautioning  less  skilful  artists,  that  in 
their  hands  cold  colours  were  more  likely  to  fail 
in  effect  than  warm  tints ;  and  (2)  that  the  "Blue 
Boy "  was  painted  before  and  not  afhr  the  de- 
livery of  the  cold-colour  discourse,  but  may  pos- 
sibly have  been  the  last  straw  which  led  the 
S'esident  of  the  K.  A.  to  publicly  notice  as  he 
d  a  speciality  of  his  great  rivalV,  which  would 
certainly  odd  to  the  fame  of  the  "  blue-clad," 
but  as  certainly  throw  more  fuel  into  the  fire 
of  the  differences  between  those  distinguished 
artists. 

Conclusions. — Once  more,  "subject  to  correction 
by  further  information,"  it  is  submitted— (1)  that 
the  inferences  formerly  drawn  in  favour  of  the 
least-known  "  blue-clad  "  have  been  virtually 
confirmed  hy  subsequently  received  facts  j  (2) 
that  the  original  "  Blue  Boy,"  ns  well  rs  several 
other  blue-clad^,  were  in  till  probability  ptiinted 
before  and  not  after  tho  delivery  of  Sir  Joshua 
Reynolds's  cold-colour  dincouree;  (3)  that  it 
is  probable  the  original  '*  Blu«  Boy"  p!\ssed  direct 
from  Gainsborough's  studio  to  tho  gallery  of 
George  Prince  of  Wales,  aftorwarda  George  IV. ; 
(4)  that  at  any  rate  it  belonged  at  one  time  to 
the  Prince,  and  was  by  him  sold  to  John  Nesbitt, 
Esq.,  .VI.P. ;  (o)  that  the  very  remarkable  co- 
incidence bftweeu  the  early  description  o(  the 
picture  in  Mr.  Nesbitt's  posscfision.  and  the  recent 
aeacription  of  the  least-known  "  blue-clad,"  is 
due  to  their  actually  referring  to  tho  same  picture; 


(6)  that  about  1806,  if  not  u^ne  i^eozB  previotaly, 
two  "  Blue  Bo3rs  "  appear,  of  which  the  oziginil 
one  was  in  Mr.  Uoppner^s  poAseflmon,  and  the 
unknown  one  in  the  Grosvenor  coUecti<Ht;  and 

(7)  that  historically  and  artisticaUy  it  has  been 
shown  that  there  ore  excellent  grounds  for  now 
recognising  the  least-known  "  Bioe  Boy  "  as  the 
same  picture  which  was  successively  the  pKfpettj 
of  H.  R.  H.  the  Prince  of  Waleo,  John  Neebitt, 
Esq.,  M.P.,  and  John  Hoppner,  Esq.,  ILA.

SHAKESPEARE  GLOSSAKIES. 

(4*  S.  iv.  510,  638.) 

[  In  times  of  old,  when  good  knights  and  tnw  fid  bitde

found  tlie  combatants  waxing  angry,  ana  the  sneooaUr

and  we  are  alraat  to  put  an  end  to  the  contMC*  wtdcb 
has  now  lasted  long  enongfa,  on  the  sul^eot  of  Shaks- 
SPEARE  Glossaries.  The  last  Mow  or  words  of  Ml 
comhatanta  are  dealt  simultaneouly.  Oar  baton  hM 
fallen ;  and  the  Just  is  over— at  all  ereats  in  these Usia— 

It  is  satiafactory  to  %ad  that  with  the  kesMit 
desire  to  pick  holes  in  my  explanations  of  Shake- 
sperian  obscurities,  Mr.  Oo&net  has  not  been  able 
to  convict  me  of  a  single  error.  I  hare  indeed 
made  some  slips,  as  uiight  be  natoreUy  expected 
in  a  paper  inrolving  soch  a  multitude  of  minafe 

Eoints  and  references;  but  Mb.  Cobkbt,  with  all 
is  mole-eyed  industry,  has  not  been  fortooata 
enough  to  discover  one  of  these  slips.  He  has  n(A 
disproved  or  even  weakened  any  one  of  the  poaata 
I  have  endeavoured  to  establish.  His  attempts  td 
do  this  constitute  a  curious  collection  of  pemr- 
sions,  ignorances,  and  falsificationa.  I  have  already 
pointed  out  some  of  these.  But  every  fresh  com- 
munication from  Ms.  Cobnby  on  the  sutject  , 
contains  a  fresh  crop  of  tortuoas  misrepifr' 
seotatious,  a  fresh  series  of  impotent  w;nthiBgi 
around  the  object  of  his  dislike.  Hitherto,  how-  j 
ever,  iustead  of  making  any  impression,  he  fc» 
simply  rasped  or  broken  his  own  teeth  ;  andtbe 
further  he  goes  the  worse  he  appears  to  fan.  I 
will  select  from  his  later  contributions  to  yopr 
columns  a  few  additional  illustrations  which  will 
probably  suffice  to  settle  hia  character  as  aeon- 
trovers:  tilist  and  his  pretensions  as  a  bhake^eiiiA 
critic. 

First,  with  regard  to  the  line  in  CoriofaHiu — 
''He  lurch'd  all  swords  o'  Iho  garland."— Mr- 
Dyco,  after  Malnne,  bades  his  explanation  of  th« 
vorb  lurch  in  this  passage  on  its  technical  useu* 
card-playiug.  I  have  said  that  it  ought  rathe'

lia/iitH  DUiionary.  Only  one  of  the  extracts,  tho 
firtft,  \»  at  all  to  tlie  point,  and  this  ia  far  too  orief 
and  general  to  enable  the  reader  to  underdtand 
the  diitiutlive  cbamct»'riiJticd  of  the  sr/m/j  or  to 
appreciate  accurately  th?  many  allu'uonii  to  the 
cliarocter  that  occur  m  the  ElizaLethau  dramatists. 
But  had  the  explauations  contained  iu  these 
oxLractfl  been  ever  so  full  and  accarate,  they 
would  not  in  the  least  have  aHected  my  state- 
meut.  1  have  never  said  that  the  meaaiu;;  of  the 
word  zany  was  unknown  two  couturiea  a^Oj  for 
this  would  have  been  in  the  hif^hest  degree 
absurd.  It  was  of  courae  well  known,  and  may 
be  illustrated  iji  part  from  the  glcusoncs  of  the 
time,  and  abundantly  from  tbo  littiraturo  of  the 
sixteenth  and  ."eventeenth  centtirie*.  What  I  have 
said  is,  that  no  Shakesperiaa  critic  or  coalmen- 
lator  ha^  coUeeted  the  facts  from  these  sources, 
and  brought  them  to  illustrate  in  detail  Shake- 
apcare'a  rcferonces  to  the  character.  I  claim  to 
have  done  that  for  the  fir^t  time,  and  no  far  aa 
Mr.  Coknei  ia  concerned  my  claim  remains 
untouched.  Mk.  Cokney  ia  indeed  uH'euded  with 
me  for  stating  the  claim,  but  tbe  facts  remain  the 
same  notwithstanding  his  offence,  and  I  huTe 
f^imply  to  repeat,  therefore,  that  ao  far  as  I  am 
aware  ''  no  Shake.iperiaa  critic  or  commentator 
hod  yet  explained  what  zany  really  means,  or 
pointed  out  tbe  special  meaning  of  Sbakespeare^s 
bllasions  to  the  character."  And,  however  unplea- 
sant it  may  be  to  Mr.  CoRiiEt,  I  have  also 
to  repeat  -with  einphar}!'',  that  *'  Mr.  Dyce  has 
alto<{utber  missed  the  distinctive  meanlu^  of  the 
wor^." 

Mb.  Cornet's  attempted  rofutalion  of  this  state- 
ment I  shall  (^uotc  in  full,  as  in  this  instance  no 
one  can  so  completely  espnse  Mil.  Cokxev  as 
Mr.  CoRXEV  himself.  The  distinctive  feature  of 
the  zany's  character  is,  as  I  have  fully  explained, 
not  simply  that  he  is  a  butfoon  or  a  mimic,  not 
simply  that  he  is  a  buffocm's  bulfoon,  a  clown's 
clown,  or  a  fool's  mimic,  but  that  in  that  capacity 
he  is  a  conipamtive  failure.  "It  ia,  as  I  have 
said,  this  characteristic  not  merely  of  mimicry, 
but  of  weak  and  abortive  mimicry,  that  gives  its 
distinctive  moimiug  to  the  word,  and  colours  it 
with  a  special  tin^e  of  contempt."  The  import- 
ance of  Urtn;:ing  clearly  out  this  distinctive  mean- 
injij  has  been  folly  appreciated  by  the  critics,  as  the 
followinfi  extract  from  a  critical  notice  of  the 
article  on  "  Shakesperian  Qloasaries  '*  in  tbe  PaU 
Mail  Gazrftf  will  show:  —

I  fiui  about  to  write  on  a  theme  with  which 
uiy  acquaintance  is  next  to  no  acquaintance,  but 
quite  equal  to  nir  wifshes.  The  unattractive 
tnenie  is>,  On  terms  of  reproach  ami  contempt. 

Wo  may  read  %-ofurapa  of  plain  profte  witbont 
difccoverin;?  one  word  or  phrase  of  that  descriplion:

We  muj?t  have  recourse,  for  examples,  to  the 
tlramatiats  of  the  period  in  question — to  scenes  in 
which  entiniua  and  rivals  meet — in  which  opposi* 
tion  inBiiniea  the  pnscions — nnd  the  tongue  be- 
comes uugovernable.  Tt  may  hare  been  so,  on  tbs

Tho  learned  Bosworth  remarks  that  "  The  An- 
glo-Saxon and  English  words  are  often  identical 
in  signification."  lie  gives  "  IltfMmi,  To  indiMf 
hend^-IfyldMff,  A  bending,  Hiciining."  Oa  ttiv 
evidence  it  seems  to  me  that  the  word  kiUuUjtit' 
to  its  ctyntology,  denotes  one  in  a  state  of  i>* 
feriority — and  nothing  more.

DUNBAR  ARMS. 


(■t'"  S.  iv.  408,  C04.) 

I  am  glad  to  be  able  to  inform  Akgio-Scotus 
tliat,  although  I  fear  there  is  no  photograph  of 
theui,  a  careful  drawing  of  these  arms,  to  the  nc- 
curaiT  of  which  I  can  testify,  has  been  taken  by 
Mr.  l}.  C.  Pidgeon,  and  will  be  soon  accepsiblc  to 
the  public.  At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Archroo- 
logical  Association,  Mr.  IHdgeon  read  a  very  in- 
teresting paper  on  the  Dunbar  arnss,  and  ex- 
hibited two  drawings  which  he  had  taken — one  of 
tlie  arms,  and  another  of  the  picturesque  fragment 
of  the  castle  which  contained  the  arms.  The 
paper,  with  engravings  of  the  drawings,  will  ap- 
pear in  the  next  number  of  the  Joumai  of  the 
Association.  There  are  good  drawings  of  the 
ruins  of  Dunbar  Castle  in  Grose's  Autiqmiteii  of 
Scotland  in  Sir  Walter  Scott's  Jiorder  Ajitiquitie/t, 
and  in  his  Pi'ovincinl  Antiquities.  The  engraving, 
p.  147,  vol.  ii.  of  the  last  work,  is  the  best  I  have 
seen  of  Dunbar  Castle.  It  is  from  a  drawing  by 
Turner.  I  have  not  met  with  any  engraving  of 
the  anns.  Those  works  exhibit  t^e  state  of  the 
ruins  before  part  of  them  was  removed  to  make 
way  for  the  entrance  to  the  new  harbour.  In 
Scotland  Delineated  the  drawing  of  Dunbar  Castle 
shows  the  ruins  as  they  appeared  after  the  opening 
of  the  new  harbour,  and  laefore  the  recent  catas- 
trophe. About  eighteen  months  ago  it  was  sug- 
gested to  the  authorities  to  make  a  few  repairs, 
which  might  have  saved  the  port  which  feU  re- 
centlj,  and  to  get  a  photograph  of  the  arms;  but 
nothmgwas  done.  An  "Old  Mortality"  Society 
for  the  preservation  of  relics  seems  much  wanted. 

As  the  two  lat^t-named  works,  in  their  accounts 
of  the  arms  at  Dunbar  Castle,  differ  from  each 
other  as  well  as  from  the  view  I  took  in  "  N.  &  Q." 
of  November  13,  it  may  be  well  to  enter  a  little 
further  into  the  subject.  Sir  W.  Scott,  in  the 
lyoinncial  Antiquities,  says  that  they  were  the 
arms  of  Alexander  Duke  of  Albany  (son  of  James 
II.),  who  was  created  Karl  of  March  and  had 
Dunbar  Castle  for  a  tune.    But  this  is  scaicely 


I  poaiible.    In  erecting  his  armorial  bearinp^  id- 

'  bany  would  never  leave  out  those  of  hu  ovb 

I  family — the  royal  family ;  and  the  anus  of  SesU 

[  land  were  not  among  thoso  on   Dunbar  CHtk 

{  Further,  we  know  tliat  Albany  did  place  rirml^i 

'  in  the  first  quarter  of  his  shield ;  the  other  thiM 

'  being  Dunbar,  Hon,  and  Annoadale,  as  intfas 

'  three  shieldd  recently  destroyed.    His  axatos 

j  described  in   Mr.  Laing's   Catalogue  of  findU 

I  Seahf  and  engraved  in  Mr.  Seton*s  work  on  8bb^ 

tCgh  Ileraldrf/f  and  are  also  on  a  stone  in  Tmitf 

Church,   Edinburgh.     From   the  statamentt  k 

Pennant  and  Grose,  as  well  as  from  iafUMi 

made  at  Dunbar,  it  may  be  c<Hiaderad  cialMi 

that,  within  the  last  hundred  yeaxa,  than  kim 

been  no  shields  on  Dunbar  Castle,  save  the  thM 

above-mentioned — Dunbar,  Annandale,  Man. 

In  Scotland  Delineated  the  arms  are  said  to  b 
those  of  George,  eleventh  Earl  of  Dunhar,  meMh 
ing  thereby  the  second  George,  grandson  otApM 
Kandolph.    He  became  earl  on  the  death  of  Ui 
father,  George,  tenth  earl,  in  1420;  and  he  VM 
the  lost  of  this  famous  old  line,  being  diupiiiimwi 
of  title  and  estates  in  14.34-5  by  Jamea  L   EVbtci 
years  before  he  became  earl,  in   14i0&,  on  tfei 
restoration  of  his  father,  George,  tenth  eari^  Is 
his  Scottish  rights,  the  lordship  of  Annandale  ini 
not  given  back  to  him,  but  was  tranafeired  to  tki 
Earl  of  Douglas,  and  this  powerful  bsron  and  hb 
succes.«ors  as.-^nmed  the  title  of  Lord  of  Annandak^ 
aud  quartered  the  saltire  and  chief  in  their  simi^ 
as  may  be  seen  in  Mr.  Laing's  valuable  weak  in- 
ferred to  above.    It  may  therefore  he  asHninwTj 
unless  there  be  some  positive  proof  to  the  coa- 
trary,  that,  after  14(H),  the  Dunbars  woold  not 
venture  to  quarter  Annandale  in  their  ansa  it 
defiance  at  once  of  the  Hcgent  and  the  most  powl^ 
ful  of  the  Scotti;:«h  nobles.    Altogether  it  sseM 
most  probable  that  the  Dunbar  arms  wore  enctsd 
by  the  "  illustrious  traitor,"  aahehas  been  termed 
— George  the  tenth  earl,  as  he  was  the  first  of  the 
family  who  could  claim  Dimbar,  Annandale,  nA 
Man  in  his  own  right.    He  came  to  the  earUoa 
in  1369.     From  1400  to  1409  he  was  in  lehelBflB 
againf>t    Scotland ;    with  the.  Percies,  thrsJihsy 
the  Scot<*h  at   Jlomildon,  and  with  his  lektifi 
Henry  IV.,  thrashing  the  Percies  at  Shrewsboj; 
and  as,  on  his  return  to  Scotland,  Annandale  mt 
withheld  from  him,  1360-1400  seems  the  piobslil* 
period  of  the  erection  of  these  arms.  H.B.

From  this  the  following  lines  may  be  ex- 
tracted ;  — 

"  I  am  »un  youll  alioir  that  oor  list  is  complete,

And  (altbougli  £omc  are  straagej  tbat  you'll  freely

Of  bis  talents  perhaps  you  may  judge  of  the  stretcheiif 
From  his  Parish,  as  well  as  his  Corporaie  Sketches, 
And  how  well  ho  can  trace,  with  discernment  acute, 
From  the  General  down  to  the  nisttc  Recruit. 
Such  merit  as  his  it  is  needless  to  push- 
Good  wine,  wc  well  know,  never  wanted  a  bush ; 
His  high  reputation  we  are  sure  he'll  sustain, 
And  we  Itope  he'll  delight  you  again  and  again. 
But  we  most  not  forf^ct  his  high  talented  brothers — 
Namely,   Seymour   and   Chatftald,    and   Aiken   and 

others, 
Who  have  furuiahcd  (and  smartly  the  thing  has  been 

done) 
Many  high-season'd  dishes  of  frolic  and  fun.*' 

Amons  the  unnamed  artists  who  contributed 
to  this  sheet  must  certainly  be  reckoned  Kenny 
Meadows,  as  among  the  new  phlzxes  furuiahcd  by 
this  modem  lAvater  we  recofmise  the  first 
draughts  of  several  that  appeared  later  among 
the  "  Heads  of  the  People.'' 

Series  V.  Ileru  ''Jim  Crow"  makes  his  first 
apjtearanco  in  the  *'  Gallen',"  and  ushers  iu  the 
inimitable  ** Corporation  Worthies"  of  Kenny 
Meadows.  }Iere,too,  many  sketches  signed  "J.  Ij.^' 
give  promise  of  the  luturo  ezcellonce  to  be  aaso- 
ciatod  with  tlie  name  of  Leech,  and  are  probably 
tho  earlier  productions  of  that  great  artist's  gra- 
phic  pencil.  The  date  of  this  sheet  is  May,  lo;^7, 
and  one  of  the  sJcetches,  entitled  "  What  we  are 
to  como  to ;  or,  a  I^ook  into  Futurity,"  is  worth  a 

ring  notice.  Here  tho  foreground  is  occupied 
,  a  crowded  aMemblagc  of  stcam-cariiages, 
steam-cabs,  and  Bteam-velocdpcdes ;  the  water- 
ways are  traversed  by  steam- vessels,  and  the  air 
ifl  crowded  by  passouger-balloons,  which  are 
drawn  along  by  steamers  on  lajid  or  water  below. 
Beneath  are  tin  verses :  — 

"Farewell  to  old  travelling,  and  liail  to  llio  time 

When  cattle  and  rtni;,'8  will  be  qaite  superseded  ; 
And  intellftct's  march,  with  a  profcrem  sublime,

Applied  in  a  mnnnor  no'or  thought  of  before ; 
Anil  trftTclIin^  with  ease  fifty  miles  in  an  hour. 

May  wonder  their  ancestors  ever  went  slower." 

Omitting  seven  verses,  we  arrive  at  the  lost  — 

'*Thcn  farewfU  to  coaches  and  honse-s  alas  I

SEiui»  VL  I  must  only  say  of  this  that  it  con- 
tains some  most  graphic  heads.  **  Xlie  Gentle- 
man that  knows  what  Life  is  "  is  a  fine  apecimen 
of  flash  rascality,  and  the  one  ''  Wot  knows  a 
'Leetle,*  and  ani*t  to  be  had  at  any  price,"  has 
an  insolent  leer  on  his  broad  vulgar  lace  that  is 
worth  anything. 

Sekiks  VII.  Here  a  bland  accoucheur,  in  regu- 
lation black,  advancing  with  a  baby  in  long 
clothes^  symbolises  the  "  triumphant  deliveir  i 
the  Seventh  Bantling."  At  the  comer  of  xnaav 
of  the  sketches  the  well-known  device  of  a  keen 
in  a  bottle  leaves  no  doubt  as  to  their  ori^n. 
Hero  too,  possibly  by  the  same  facHe  penal, 
though  in  no  stray  comer  is  tho  medicmal  worm 
seen  to  wriggle,  is  a  remarkable  series  of  fourteen 
sketches,  entitled  '^  Ups  and  Howns  of  Life ;  or. 
Vicissitudes  of  a  Swell,"  in  which  the  career  of 
the  hero  is  traced  from  the  ''TlareweU  Spread" 
in  the  coUoge-rooms,  through  many  a  scene  ot 
folly,  vice,  and  extravagance,  to  the  "  OlooDg 
Scene"  in  the  wards  of  a  hospital.  The  verses  w 
whitih  this  series  is  illustrated  are  worthy  of  their 
subject. 

Sjbbies  Vni.  First  and  foremost  here,  a  neRT 
persouage,  ushering  in  a  lad  of  ^milar  type,  asb 
"Here's  my  Eighth— will  you  Stand  for  him f 
Not  I,  for  he's  tho  worst  of  the  family,  and  lus

occasions  no  regret  that  it  is  the  lest.  The  fourth 
page  is  occupied  by  n  series  of  "  Twelfth  Ni^t 
Characters,"  destitute  of  point  and  humour,  and 
with  this  the  set  concludes. 

I  may  add  that  I  have  another  "part  8,'*  pub- 
lished bv  **  William  Cafiyn,  31,  Oxford  StreeL 
Mile  EnS,"  containing  a  selection  from  several  of 
tho  parts  as  originally  issued.  This  was  pub-

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


L#fcS.V.  Jak.S^'TOl 


Familitss  oir  Stbellbt  akd  Vayasottb  (4*"  S. 
iy.  363,  550.)^  I  can  throw  no  light  upon  the  in- 
termamAgefl  of  these  fftmiUes,  out  I  know  that 
the  family  of  StreUey,  though  now  decayed,  was, 
in  bygone  timcsy  a  wealthy  and  influential  one  in 
the  county  of  lierby.  AVhen  curate  of  the  parish 
of  Heanor,  some  seren-and-twenty  years  ago,  the 
descendants  of  this  ancient  house  were  living  in  a 
park-like  place,  I  presume  their  ancient  seat  (the 
name  of  wnicU  I  forget)  in  the  hamlet  of  Codnor, 
in  yery  reduced,  if  not  indigent,  circumstances. 
The  house  itself  was  occupied  only  by  female 
members  of  the  family,  while  the  male  repre- 
oentataye,  Dr.  Strelley,  a  moat  singular  and  eccen- 
tric character,  Uyecl  in  a  doyecote  adjoiniog, 
tnite  alone,  with  the  exception  of  seyerai  sharp 
ogs,  which  he  kept  as  guardians  of  his  solitode, 
and  was  never  backward  in  letting  them  loose 
upon  any  who  ventured  to  intrude  upon  it.  He 
was  a  veritable  hermit,  aflected  the  most  gro- 
tesque of  customs,  and  would  hold  intercourse 
with  n(me  but  the  few  poor  colliers  and  stocking- 
weayers  whom  ho  attended  medically,  and  from 
w^om  he  picked  up  a  scanty  pittance — the  sole 
means  of  his  eubsislenco.  I  never  knew  him,  and 
am  ashamed  to  say,  was  a&aid  to  beat  up  his 
quarters.  The  ill  ^me  of  his  companions  was  too 
much  for  my  courage. 

Shipley  is  another  hamlet  in  the  same  parish, 
and  it  is  not  impossible  that  the  Strelleys  might 
have  migrated  from  one  to  the  other.  I  have 
often,  since  leaving  the  neighbourhood,  thought 
of  this  family,  and  should  greatly  like  to  know  if 
any  remnant  of  it  be  still  left,  or  whether  it  has 
altogether  passed  away.  I  feel  sure  that  if  this 
notice  should  come  under  the  eye  of  any  one  com- 
petent to  give  such  information,  I  iuay  safely 
calculate  upon  receiving  it

BiBLiOGRAPHT  OF  Archkbt  ('4**  S.  iv.  330.)— 
As  an  addition  to  Mr.  Bates's  list,  permit  me  to 
mention  — 

"A  Short  Treatise  on  Ai'cbcrj*,  bempj  a  Compilation  of 
sonnd,  practical,  and  established  Kulea  for  that  interest-

Several  books  not  noticed  by  Mr.  Bates  are 
mentioned  by  Watt,  but  I  have  not  thought  it 
nece.<isary  to  reproduce  thorn.  11.  R,  P. 

LiKTT  (4*"  S.  iv.  531.)— I  cannot  say  whether 
tliis  word  be  peculiar  to  Essex  or  not, 'but  I  be- 
lieve my  son  is  on  the  right  scent  as  to  its  deriva- 
tion. He,  and  many  other  readers  of  *'  N.  &  Q." 
will  recollect  the  old  maxim,  Festtna  lentb— one 
which,  for  the  practical  wisdom  it  inculcates,  is 
well  worthy  of  connderation  by  old  and  young. 


I  am  glad  to  find  that  he  takes  an  interest  in  this 
most  attractive  periodical;  from  which,  if  he 
gather  half  the  amoaement  and  instructioa  which 
his  father  has  gathered,  he  will  be  amply  repiid 
for  its  perusal.  Edmuvd  Tkw,  M.A. 

"  Srnx  Waters  btjn  dkbip"  (4*  S.  iy.  138, 
542.) — This  proverb,  in  the  original,  is  connected 
with  another  already  '*  made  anotecxf  ** — "  Canesi 
dmidum  vehementiua  latrare  qnam  mcndera  " — 
and  certainly  ought  to  be  rendered  as  W.  C.  X 
glives  it  The  truth  inculcated  is,  that  retioenee 
ts  against  demonstrativeness  is  the  best  indici- 
tion  of  genuine  courage  and  prudence  in  actioo. 
Quintus  Curtius  quotes  them  both  as  conent 
ftmong  the  Bactriana,  and  adds — "  Qoes  insemi  at 
ijualiscumque  inter  barbaros  potuitease  prudentia, 
traderetur  *' — I  have  recorded  these  proverbs  thit 
it  might  be  seen  how  much  sagacity  is  to  be  found 
even  amongst  barbarians.     EbaiUKD  Tbw,  M.A 

MosrifEiTTAt  Bbabs  (4*  S.  iy.  514.)— The 
arms  described  by  your  correspondent  Mju  DcF- 
Fn:LT>  appear  to  me  to  possibly  represent  those  of 
the  Warner  family  of  PackenhuU,  co.  Gloucester, 
which  are  —  Or,  a  chev.  between  3  boars'  headi 
couped  sable.  1  do  not  know  what  the  crest  is. 
The  impaled  coat  might  bo  the  Vaus  fsmily  at 
the  Erpmgham,  as  I  think  the  foUowi^  coat  is 
ascribed  to  Sir  Thomas  Erpiogham,  IlB.  (a.s. 
1425): — Vert,  an  inescutcheon  within  an  orle  of

the  pyx  had  been  found  at  Chippenham.  This  is 
an  error.  I  suspect  also  that  the  Kev.  Augustas

the  last  volume  of  "  N.  &  Q."  by  your  valued  cor- 
respondent De.  Craufubd  Tate  Kamage,  it  is 
stated  that  amongst  his  friends  wfla  Markham, 
Archdeacon  of  C'arUsle ;  and  in  another  article  on 
the  same  subject  and  page  by  Dr.  Rogers,  be  is 
called  Archdeacon  .\farithtim,  Aa  "  N.  &  Q."  is 
80  frequently  used  us  a  book  of  reference  it  ia 
desirable  that  accuracy  in  all  its  statements  should 
be  as  far  as  possible  eecured  ;  and  the  Editor  has 
further  got  all  his  correspondents  in  the  way  of 
giving  the  precise  authority  for  their  statements, 
which  of  course  is  another  point  adding  very 
much  to  the  utility  ni  the  publication. 

Permit  me  then  to  observe  that  Robert  Mark-

he  was  a  prebendary  of  that  cathedral,  and  no

with  Mr,  Bennet  Tie  was  Archdeacon  of  York

I>BLAHAIN  (4"'  S.  iv.  613, 673.)— I  have  several 
interesting  letters  from  Henry  Delamain  of  Dublin 
relating  to  his  inveution  of  the  use  of  coals  in 
heating  potters'  kilns  instead  of  wood  or  turf, 
which  ho  says  he  had  successfully  adopted  in  his 
own  manufactory.  His  aim  seems  to  have  been 
to  obtain  a  reward  from  Parliament  for  the  dis- 
covery. One  of  his  letters  is  written  at  Liver- 
pool, whither  he  had  just  rftiivcd  to  confer  witli 
the  principal  potters,  and  to  intluce  them  to  back 
his  petition,  lor  at  that  tiuic  Liverpool  was  the 
centre  of  tho  earthenware  manufncture.  This 
letter  is  addressed  to  his  wife,  "Mrs.  Mary  Dela- 
main,  at  the  India  Warehouse,  Abbey  Street, 
Dublin,'*  dated  Dec.  18,  1753,  givinfr  ht*r  direc-

his  kilns.  It  concludes — "  I  shall  go  to  Londoa 
this  day,  and  shall  call  in  my  way  at  Worster  to 
see  the  fine  new  manufactory."

"The  One  (was)  pretended  Sou  and  Heir  to  the  late 

Grand  Signior;

true  Mt$$iah,  1C66." 

A  copy  of  the  book  itself,  to  which  W.  F.  nmrt 
now  be  referred  for  further  information,  occurr?d 
in  Willis's  catalojrue,  July  25,  1857,  "  very  raw, 
0«.  (W."  It  is  hardly  likely,  however,  to  be  obtun- 
able  after  so  long  a  lapse  of  time.  But  W.  F.  netrf 
not  despiur,  as  the  matter  fortunately  exists  in  t 
moro  readily  accessible  form.  The  book,  though 
published  anonymously,  was  written  by  the  cele- 
brated John  Evelyn,  and  is  reproduced  in  tbe 
Miscdlaneom  Work*  of  that  author,  edited,  witk 
notes,  by  William  Upcott,  _4to,  1825.  IfW.F. 
is  not  able  to  meet  with  this,  I  shall  be  happy  to 
lend  him  my  copy  of  the  original  work,  and  will 
forward  it  by  post  on  receipt  of  his  address. 

I  should  also  refer  him  to  the  Otn$u'tout  of 
Robert  Southej-  (2  vols.  12mo,  1812).  Here  h« 
will  find  an  article  on  one  of  the  so-called  impo^ 
tors — Fr.  Domenico  Ottomano — in  whidi  itisw* 
serted  that  the  title  of  the  book  conveys  a  &lis 
meaning,  inasmuch  as  Padre  Ottomano,  "thoncl 
no  Ottoman,  was  certainly  no  impostor";  »• 
further  account  of  this  personage  and  his  clutni 
is  continued  over  several  pages  (pee  i,  60.)  Ti« 
writer  was  apparently  unaware  of  the  authoni'P 
of  tho  book,  though  he  notes  that  the  dedicitsa

About  "avoir  le  tour"  I  know  nothing;  bat 
"  avoir  le  pour  "  is  an  historical  fact.  The  Dae  de

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[4*aF.  JA3r.8, 


The  Jvumai  of  Fhilologjf^  Part  IV.    (MacmilUn.) 

Thid  new  noraber  of  Uke  Joomol  of  Philology,  c«n- 
tuna  eighteen  pspen  on  vuioas  points  of  CLusteal  and 
Biblical  Learning,  Notes  on  Roman  Hiatoiy,  Explanation 
of  a  passage  in  Firdaoai,  and  a  ^luxful  tribtue  to  the 
memory  of  one  of  its  moat  distingniahed  cootributors,.  the 
late  FrbfesBor  Conington. 

Mk.  Rus8ELi,S«aTH,  from  whose  large  and  well'^eeted 
stock  of  old  books  many  of  oar  readers  have  no  donbt  en- 
riched their  own  special  collections,  is  abont  to  give  np 
that  braseh  of  his  basineas  to  his  son,  and  confine  his 
attention  entirely  to  publidiing.  Those  who  hare  had 
anv  transactions  with  Mr.  Rnseell  Smith  aa  a  publisher, 
will,  we  are  sure,  join  in  wishing  him  every  success. 

Enulish  Satirical  Pbints  and  Cabicatukes. — 
When  announcing,  some  time  since,  a  Catalogue  of  the 
Satirical  Prints  and  Caricatnrc's  in  the  British  If  uaeom, 
we  attributed  the  preparation  of  it  to  Mr.  Rcid  (a 
gentleman  who  would  be  the  last  to  assume  the  credit 
which  was  due  to  another)  instead  of  Mr.  F.  6.  Stephens. 
This  Catalogue  will  enumerate  not  only  all  the  works  of 
this  description  in  the  unrivalled  collection  of  the  late 
Mr.  Hawkins,  but  also  all  those  discovered  by  Mr. 
Stephens  in  the  King's  Tracts  and  similar  pamphlets  in 
the  Museum  ;  and  the  first  volume,  which  comprisea  all 
issued  between  1555  ancl  the  Revolution,  will  describe 
somewhere  about  800  prints. 

This  mention  of  Mr.  Reid  reminds  us  that  his  Catalogue 
of  the  JForks  of  George  Cruikthank — works  almost  as 
remarkable  fur  theirnumber  as  fur  their  excellence — which 
is  to  be  published  by  Messrs.  Boll  &.  Daldy,  is  very  nearly 
ready. 

Newsvkhdob»'Bexbvoleiit  and  Providbst  Ihsti- 
TUTios. — Mr,  Charles  Dickens  (the  president)  who,  it 
will  be  remembered,  was  prevented  by  ill  health  from 
filling  that  position  in  April  lust,  will  take  the  chair  at 
the  approaching  annual  dinner.  We  congratulate  the 
Kewsrendors  upon  gaining  so  able  a  chairman,  and 
recommend  their  deserving  institution  to  a  genftrous 
public. 

The  Btron  Statdal.  —  If  we  may  judge  by  the 
telegram  from  New  York,  Mrs.  Stowe's  defence,  which 
she  entitles  '•  Ludy  Byron  Vindicated,"  has  given  great 
ditjsati^ifaction.  The  press  almost  unaiiiEnourity  condemns 
the  book  in  severe  terms.  The  Neic  York  Timet  declares 
that  she  evades  dates  and  proves  nothing,  and  it  regrets 
that  she  should  persist  in  recording  herself  as  the  autho- 
rity for  a  revolting  slander.  The  Htrcdd  says  that  her 
arguments  are  weak,  and  that  her  motives  arc  to  make 
money  or  to  gain  notoriety  by  pandering  to  depraved 
tastes.  The  World  also  very  strongly  condnnns  the 
book. 

Fictitious  Actographs.  — Another  manufactory  of 
fictitious  autographs  has  been  discovered  in  Paris.  A 
bookseller's  assistant  having  purchased  a  number  of  what 
purported  to  be  autngraplis  uf  Be'ranger,  Kossini,  Talley- 
rand, Ac,  M.  Etienne  Charavay,  to  whom  they  wero 
shown,  at  once  declared  them  to  be  false.  A  few  days 
afterwards  the  female  who  had  sold  them  offered  some 
others  to  M.  Charavay,  who  immediately  gave  her  into 
custody.  lier  residence  was  found  to  &c  furnished  ex- 
pensively, and  with  great  taste ;  with  a  library  of  rare 
books,  fragments  uf  ancient  MS3.,  and  fac-simifes  of  the 
writing  of  most  of  the  remarkable  people  of  the  time. 
Upon  being  questioned,  she  acknowledged  the  pretended 
autographs  were  the  production  of  her  son.  He  was 
accordingly  arrested  at  the  office  at  which  he  was  en- 
gaged, and  was  found  by  the  police  agents  boay  in 
making  an  aato^ph  of  Silvio  Pellico,  of  which  tfa^ 
had  previously  diafcovered  four  copies.

enscouced  himself,  to  look  after  th(}  property,  and 
to  watcb  the  building  of  the  new  mansion  which 
Mr.  Menteth  set  about  erecting.  It  appears  that 
Mr.  .Menteth  was  advanced  in  years,  and  left  ihe 
management  of  everything  very  much  to  Mr. 
Stewart,  who  found  himself  more  of  tbo  laird 
than  hie  master.  When  the  yoimg  laird,  how- 
ever, the  late  Sir  Charles  Granville  Stuart-Men- 
teth,  came  of  ago  in  1790,  his  father  fj^ave  over 
the  management  of  the  property  to  him,  and  then 
Mr.  Stewart  began  to  iind  himself  curbed  in  a  way 
to  which  he  had  not  been  occu&tomed. 

It  was  at  tbifi  time  that  Bums  seems  to  have 
been  on  intimate  terms  with  Mr.  Stewart,  and 
used  to  visit  him  at  the  caatle,  where  they  were 
accustomed  to  sit  late,  and  often  avq  the  ann 
above  the  honzon  before  the  company  dispersed. 
\n  old  man,  Robert  Anderson  (only  lately  dead), 
wab  the  boy  in  attendance  on  the  guests;  and  he 
aaid  that  Burns  never  took  more  than  his  head 
eould  carry,  and  that  the  poet  used  to  assist  thoso 
less  able  to  take  care  of  themselves  up  the  narrow 
stairs  of  the  keep ;  and  after  he  bad  seen  them  all 
safe  in  bed,  would  order  Itobert  to  bring  out  his 
pony,  and  set  oft' homewards.  Poseibly  the  inter- 
course of  Burns  and  Stewart  was  made  more  inti- 
mate from  the  circumstance  that  Mrs.  Bacon,  the 
landlady  of  Brownbill  inn,  where  Burns  wa.^  only 
too  often  to  be  found  in  the  evening,  was  sister 
to  Mr.  Stewart.  She  had  been  married  to  an  old 
man,  Mr.  Brown,  who  built  the  inn  on  the  new 
line  of  road  from  I>umfries  to  Glostfo^  nbout 
1770;  and  when  he  died,  she  married  Mr.  Bacon, 
a  young  man  who  had  come  down  from  England 
to  look  after  the  wood  on  Closebum  *>state,  which 
had  been  bout.'ht  by  some  jmrlies  la  Ktijjdnud. 

It  appears  that  Mr.  Stewart  found  that  it  would 
be  more  prudent  to  retire  from  his  oibee  of  factor, 
and  in  171)3  we  find  him  taking  the  farm  of 
Laught,  LAUghtmoor,  Bankhead,  and  Blackncst^

^Wbile  making  an  antipodealforest-joumev,  with 
the  Midsummtr-Kight  s  Dream  to  beguile  my 
weariness,  I  thus  defended  to  myself  the  older 
reading.  The  old  stage  direction  sufficiently 
proves  that  these  lilliputian  potentates  moved 
about  in  imitation  of  human  mortals'  state,  such 
state  as  might  have  been  seen  when  great  Queen 
Bess  moved  abroad.  In  a  time  of  ceremony  and 
state-like  observances,  the  king  and  queen  of 
fairy-land  would  observe  a  like,  but  an  antic  and 
mirthful,  exlravogance  of  state.  "We  have  an 
example  of  such  state  in  Ben  Jonson's  masque  of 
Obcron :  — 

"  At  tlio  further  end  of  all,  Obcron  in  a  chariot,  which 
to  a  loud  triutnphant  mtuic  began  to  move  forward  .... 
wi  either  side  guardcil  by  three  sylvans,  with  one  going  in 
front:* 

Only  the  sylvane  with  some  quaintness  kept  a 
greater  solemnity  than  did  Shakespeare's  trains, 
because  Oberon  was  much  be-praised  and  was 
rcpresonted  by  Prince  Henry.  In  Shakespeare's 
dream  of  elves  the  movements  would  be  brisk 
and  gambolling,  perhaps  made  even  to  dance 
music;  «omo  would  guard  their  lord  or  lady,  as 
gentlemen-pensioners  guarded  Eliza ;  and  before 
all  would  be  an  usher,  or  it  may  bo  officer  of  the 
guard  or  other  official,  personated  perhaps  by  the 
infant  Taglioni  of  the  troupe,  whose  movements 
•would  be  as  agile  and  sportive  as  the  stop  and 
bearing  of  the  starched  queen's  officer  were  solemn 
and  dignified.  Hence  the  majestic  command — 
"  Fairy  skip  hence  "j  the  others  moving  with  the 
queen's  movements. 

But,  said  my  objecting  self,  I  find  that,  at  the 
close  of  the  conference  (for  her  wilful  majesty 


obeys  her  lord  when  her  obedience  girea  ber  the 
chance  of  reiterating  all  his  injuries),  Titanis 
uses  the  plural  and  cries  "JRairies  away,"  True, 
answered  my  conservative  spirit;  but,  diaiitgw>, 
the  circumstances  ore  changed.  While  Hog  md 
queen  have  been  parleving  and  wrangling,  the 
attendant  coartiers  ana  maids  of  honour  hara 
been  frisking,  intermingling,  flirting,  renewing 
acauaintance,  gossipping  on  the  events  of  their 
enrorced  separation,  mucli  as  Biron  and  his  co- 
lords  talked  and  renewed  acquaintance  while  1^ 
King  of  Navarre  conferred  with  the  Princess  of 
France  as  touchbg  acquittances  and  love-bonds. 
It  is  her  thus  scattered  train  that  Titania  recaU 
with  "Fairies  away  I"  Besides,  her  majesty  is 
in  a  pet,  and  will  not  that  one  renaain  benind  or 
be  out  of  her  ordered  place. 

2,  I  have  also  been  comparing  the  old  stage 
directions  where  Bottom  is  traMfonned  (iiLl) 
with  the  new,  and  the  resulting  conclusion  is, 
that  the  modem  editions  have  injured  the  hiunonr 
and  action  by  unwittingly  curttdling  the  latter, 
and  rendering  it  less  natural.    The  direction  for 
the  re-entry  of  Bottom  as  transformed  by  Puck  is 
omitted  in  the  old  editions;,  but  it  is  certain  that 
at  his  cue  of  "tire,"'  he  comes  on  with  *'U  I 
were  fair,*'  &c. ;  and  this  certainty  is  (aa  often) 
the  reason  it  was  omitted.    Quince  even  calls  to 
him  to  enter,  therefore  no  other  call  was  requiied 
by  the  old  actora.    Bottom  having  entered,  oui 
moilem  books,  at  the  exclamations  of  Quince  and 
his  "Fly,  masters!"  send  off  the  rest,  bat  keep 
Bottom  and  Puck  on  the  stage;  and  Uien,  when 
Puck  hna  left,  Snout  and  Quince  successively  re- 
enter. But  in  the  folios,  "  [  TJie  churns  all  ejcemUV 
after  Quince's  "Fly,  masters  I"  and  aher  PudE 
has  spoken,  "I'll  follow  you,"  &c,  we  have  the 
direction—"  Mtter  [frequent  for  "  re-enter"]  Pin- 
mus  nith  the  Asse  head."    That  is,  at  the  ay  of 
Quince,  Bottom  runs  out  with  the  rest,  as  why 
should  ho  notP    Panic-struck  with  the  rest,  un- 
conscious that  he  is  himself  the  cause,  he  hturia 
out  with  and  after  them — "it  might,  God  shield 
us^  have  been  a  lion,  or  other  feartul  wild  fowl" 
Ills  odd  gestures  when   frightened,  and  whils 
endeavouring  ta»sce  the  cause  and  its  whereabonti^ 
alarm  his  comrades  the  more ;  and  his  following 
them  ensures  their  dispersion  this,  that,  and  ererj 
wav.    Moreover,  his  then  appearance  of  affirig^t 
mal<es  his  after- assumption  ot  confidence  the  mon 
marked  and  ludicrous :  his  after-assumption  I  nj, 
because  it  is  clear  that  he  sings  to  encounx* 
himself,  though  he  excuses  it  to  himself  on  the 
plea  that  it  is  to  show  his  friends  that  he  is  not 
afraid.  Bri^slbt  XrcHOLSos.

Rank  is  Lit£batube.— Id  the  second  number

Matthew  Arnold  says :  — 

**  Exoellent  work  in  a  iow«r  kind  counts  in  tbelsag 
run  above  work  which  is  short  of  excellence  in  a  higbo? 

This  has  given  riee  to  some  discussion  in  the 
papers,  and,  as  far  as  I  have  read,  the  opinion  is 
treated  as  original ;  but  I  find  the  same  yiew  pro- 
posed, in  essence,  in  William  IIax1itt*8  Zedvreg  m 
the  English  Poc*«— viz.  Bell  ft  DaldT*8  «d.  1860, 
p.91:- 

"  The  artificial  stvlc"  (Dryden'a  and  Pope's)  « is  gene- 
rally and  very  justly  acknowledged  to  be  inferior  to  the 
other"— the  style  of  Chancer,  Spenser,  Shak^ware^  and 
Milton,  called  by  Hazlitt  the  natural  style — ''yetlhuse 
who  stand  at  the  head  of  that  class  ought,  perhaps,  t« 
rank  higher  than  those  who  occupy  an  inferKn*  place  in  a 
superior  claas." 

"  Young,  for  instance,  Oray  or  Akenside  only  fuUow  in 
the  train  of  Milton  and  Shakspeare :  Pope  and  Onrdea 
walk  by  their  Kido,  though  of  au  unequal  statnre,  an^  are 
entitled  to  a  first  place  in  the  lists  of  fame.''

Keble's  "WnrTEtt  Thrusil''  —  huLyruApo- 
atoliea  is  a  poem  by  Keble,  which  ia  entitled  "  Tbi 

Winter  Thrush."  In  the  postbomons  coUectiaa 
termed  Mitcdlaneoita  Pocnu  by  the  Kev.  J,  KeUe 
(Parker,  Oxford  and  Ixmdou,  18(^),  it  is  repub- 
lished with  the  following  heading,  <*  To  a  Thrush 
I  singing  in  the  Middle  of  a  Village,  JaBauTi 
j  1833." 

The  poem  contains  this  stanza:  — 
"  As  linnet  soft,  and  clear  as  lark. 
Well  hast  thou  ta'cn  thy  part. 
Where  many  an  ear  thy  notes  may  leach, 
A2ul  here  and  there  a  heart** 

If  this  stanza  was  meant  to  conform  with  the  rttt 
of  the  poem  (and  who  can  doubt  it  ?),  Uie  third 
line  should  end  with  a  word  rhyming  vitk 
"lark 


accordingly,  for  "reach"  I  would  n*l 
'•mark."  The  word  " reach  "  may  be,  I  think,* 
relic  inadvertently  left  by  the  poet  in  the  "copy" 
of  the  former  version  of  the  stanza;  which  vcmoD 
wad  rejected  by  the  poet,  and  in  which  the  word 
"speech''  closed,  as  it  well  might,  the  first  line. 
No  doubt  the  mistake  wonld  not  have  reappawl 
had  the  poem  been  republished  by  Keble  hiiii&i.li'.

My  query  is  this :  Is  anything  known  of  Oeorve 
Strachaa  of  the  Merns — a  S<wtchmttn,  n  Jesuit, 
and  an  Oriental  trftveUor»  ien}j}.  Joe.  I. — besides 
what  I  am  going  to  quote  ? 
My  note  regardfl  this  George  Strachan  also, 
Tho  latfi  ^ifljor  William  Yule,  who  died  in 
Edmburgh  in  18-'?0,  waa  a  dcvot(^  lover  of  Per- 
sian and  Arabic  Utorntiiro,  and  bad  a  good  cnl- 
lectioD  of  M8S.  lo  tlioso  languages,  as  well  as 
of  printed  books  relatbg  to  them.  Among  the 
lattor  was  a  copy  of  the  Four  Gosppls  in  Arabie 
folio,  printed  at  Rome  in  the  second  hnlf  of  the 
sixteenth  centurv',  and  embellished  with  a  great 
many  good  woodcuts.  At  the  end  of  the  book 
waa  an  inscription  on  ii  discoloured  patcli :  whe- 
ther this  discoloration  was  intentional,  or  pro» 
duced  by  the  partial  decorapowtion  of  the  inlc,  I 
know  not,  but  it  tended  to  obaenre  the  writing. 
Tho  inscription  began  to  tho  following  eifect: 
"  Hunc  legit  librum  xx  diobus  in  dosertis  Chaldcsd 

Georgiua   Strochanus   e    8oc.    Jcsu    M ensis 

Scotus/' — mort'  I  remember  not  The  date  was 
rather  early  in  the  seventeenth  century.  I  have 
not  seen  the  book  for  thirty  years ;  but  as  a  boy  I 
had  so  often  tried  to  make  out  tlie  whole,  that  of 
the  foregoing  substance  I  am  certain.  Tho  local 
adjective  ''  M— ^enais"  wo  never  could  decipher. 
I  have  oft^n  wished  to  know  more  about  this 
wandering  compatriot.  Two  or  three  veara  ago. 
on  rending  for  the  first  time  the  Travel^i  of  that 
accomplished  gentleman  Pietro  della  Valle,  I  was 
delighted  to  come  upon  my  old  friend  Ooor^ 
Strachan.  Della  VaUe  know  him  intimately  in 
Persia,  and  speaks  of  him  severul  times.  The 
greatest  amount  of  detail  regarding  him  is  given 
in  Letter  XTII.  of  November  iO,  102:?,  from  Com- 
itru!  (i,  e.  Gombroon  or  Bonder  Abbiia),  §  \<\ ;  and 
in  the  edition  published  by  Ganciu  (Brighton,

Old  CaEST.— I  have  an  old  chest  to  which  I 
am  desirona  of  assigning  a  dale.  On  the  front  are 
carved  the  nrma  of  England :  1  and  4  England^ 
2  and  3  France,  with  a  lion  on  the  dext«r,  and  a 
dragon  on  the  minister  as  supporters  ;  over  tho 
shield  are  the  letters  R.  m.  d.  .\  beost,  apparently 
intended  for  an  beraldic  tiger,  and  a  pelican 
vulning  herself,  are  also  carved  on  the  front.  Tho 
lion  and  dragon  were  the  royal  supporters  from 
Henry  ML  to  Elizabeth;  thus  tho  aate  must  bo 
in  one  of  those  reigns.  I  at  tirst  thought  the 
lettere  meant  Maria  Regina  Uritmmitr,  but  her

for  him  ;  also  of  "  Lr.dy  Shipwith,"  who  seems  in

Engenius  Philalethea  (i.  e.  Rev.  Thomas  Vauphan, 
twin-brother  of  Ilenrv  Vaughan  the  SilurUt), 
irhich  has  on  the  fly-leaf  the  book-plate  of  the 

Cat  Protector.  I  dare  not  venture  to  give  the 
aldic  embleme  or  bearings ;  but  the  motto  ia, 
''Pax  quwritur  BcUo,"  and  the  legend  round  a 
drcular  border,  "Olivariva  Dei  Gra.  Reiprb. 
Angh'as,  Scotin?,  et  Hiberniaa,  &c.,  Protector." 
The  "Magia  Adamica"  has  been  carofuUj  read, 
and  has  a  large  number  of  deeply-impreased 
pencil-marks  and  several  mai^nol  MS.  notes  in 
ink.  I  am  very  willing  to  believe  that  the  mark- 
ings aro  by  no'lees  than  Cromwell  himself,  while 
the  notes  seem  to  be  added  by  the  author.  The 
"Man-Mouse''  has  only  one  (ink)  note.  The 
book-plate  of  Cromwell  I  intead  to  reproduce  in 
my  Fuller  Worthies  collective  edition  (large-paper

It  seems  worth  inserting  in  "  N.  &  Q."  a  de- 
scription of  two  book-plates  which  are  men- 
tioned in  the  December's  catalogue  of  M.  Bachelin- 
Deflorenne,  bookseller,  of  Gamck  Street,  Covent 
Garden.  The  following  is  an  exact  copy  of  the 
description  of  each  book-plate : — 

"A  moat  interesting  Book-plate,  ia  fi-lio,  frcra  the  year 
1279.  It  represent!),  painted  on  a  board,  a  monk  putting 
pieces  of  money  in  a  purse.  A  Gothic  inscription  ii 
added :  Hic  est  libkr  uruoiori  viitt  Domini  Goii>o- 

VI8  MowACHi  Sen  Galoaki  camkrabii 

Bononia,  Uinaldo  Fittore,  MCCLXxvjni." 

**  Another  Mmilar  Book-plate,  representing  nlso  a  monk 
■with  a  pBTRG  and  4  coats  of  arms  not  conservated.  A 
Urge  inocription  below:  Libbro  di  Fratk  Jacomo 
DffUUM  IUATI  CAHABLinOO  ....  iic<x:xiiii.  (1314)." 

I  have  in  my  own  collection  of  book-plates  one 
book-plate  the  date  of  which  I  am  anxious  to 
ascertain.  Perhaps  some  reader  of  '*N.  &  Q." 
can  state  at  what  period  the  person  whose  name  is 
on  the  book-plate  was  living.  The  arms  are, 
Sable,  a  lion  rampant  .  .  .  crowned.  .  .  . 
Supporters,  two  lions  regardant.  The  arms  sur- 
mounted by  a  coronet,  and  under  the  arms  the 
following  inscription:  *'EX  BintioTHKCA  nicolai

In  the  Pennsylmnia  Provincial  Letters  and 
Paper«j  Philadelphia,  1856,  p.  viii.,  it  ia  stated 
that 

"Robert  Shippen,  u  brother  of  *  downright*  William 
Shippen,  1G90,  July  4,  wns  mmle  D.D.,  eubnequently 
Principal  of  Brazeniiow  and  Vicc-Chancellor.  His  book- 
plate is  prcsen-ed  in  the  American  branch  of  the  family, 
and  bears  undcmenth  the  coat  of  arms  the  following 
inscription  :— 

"Roberto^  Shippen,  S-T.P. 
CoIL  ^n.  Kas.  Principalis." 


I  dare  say  that  if  Mb.  Wbst  will  write  to  the 
present  representative  of  this  fomilr,  **  Hr.  Ed-

he  win  readily  obtain  an  impienooai  of  ibia  Doofe-

In  this  connection  I  take  occadon  to  atk  who 
was  "  Godwyn  Swift,  of  Goderich,  in  tiie  coaniy 
of  Hereford,  and  of  Lincoln's  Inn,  Banutav-at-

above  cited,  John  Swift  and  bis  dwoendanii  h 
America  are  spoken  of.  In  the  liOgan  HSS. 
Logan  calls  this  John  Swift  "a  pestilent  lawyer," 
and  writing  to  Penn  from  PbUodelpbia,  2  ma

"  John  Swift,  a  leading  member  of  tite  AMcmbly,  is 
opposed  to  establishing  nnlesa  the  €k>veninMiit "  (Cc 
Proprietfliy  or  Penn)  "will  grant  awaj  almost  all  hii 
rights  and  powers  in  the  Govemmcat." 

Mr.  Swift  belonged  to  the  party  vbielLVM  ia 
favour  of  a  change  in  the  relations  betwwn  ths 
colony  and  the  Penn?. 

It  will  be  seen  by  a  reference  to  the  page  gira 
above,  that  not  a  great  deal  is  known  m  to  tin 
English  antecedents  of  this  family  of  Swifts,  tM 
any  information  will  be  much  valued.  Godhm 
Swift's  book-plate  is :  "  Or,  a  chev.  bntj  MMlt 
ar.  and  az.  between  three  roebucks  coanait  pv." 
But  on  inquiry  some  fifteen  yean  ago  at  th«  Col- 
lege of  Arms,  I  was  given  to  iiiidiiisliml  thit 
nSjuUe  was  not  correct,  and  that  no  matik.  am 
were  on  record.  Subsequently  I  was  infowMJ 
from  another  source  that  they  were  to  be  fooadii 
Gwillim — a  book  to  which  I  have  not  had  aooM 
since  receiving  this  later  information.  GoitMtor 
not,  the  chevron  is  nebttUe. 

It  may  perhaps  cast  some  light  on  the  inqmiT 
to  mention  that  John  Swift  the  emigrant  mairiea 
a  Miss  Mary  White  of  Croydon,  near  LcmdoD, 
and  that  the  ^on  John  speaks  of  '<  the  luxnriooi 
life  at  Croydon."  Subsequently  John  Ae  no 
was  made  collector  of  the  port  at  PhUaddiAi^ 
through  the  influence  of  Grosvenor  Bedford,  bmb- 
tioned  in  Peter  Cunningham's  Wa/pole  Ltlkn,

I  can  confinn  the  statement  that  armorial  book- 
plates were  in  use  on  the  Continent  before  tt« 
end  of  the  sixteenth  centnrv,for  I  happen  to  haw 
one  dated  1595.  It  ia  fixed  in  a  copy  of  Velertm

leaves  from  a  MS.  of  the  Gospels  on  par^menl, 
and  the  fourth  chapter  of  St  John's  Gospel  is  per- 
fectly legible  on  the  outside  cover.  The  binmnf 
has  evidently  never  been  touched  or  repaired,  tm 
the  book-plate  remains  just  as  it  was  origuil^

he  went  to  press  with  —

el^ant  volume. 

Later  in  life,  as  has  been  stated,  Bisaet  removed  | 
to  Jjoamington.    Iloro  his  rhyminfir  propensities 
did  not  desert  him,  and  we  ^nd  them  strongly 
developed  in  a  little  volume  entitled  —

He  yet  lived  to  add  one  more  to  the  list  which 
called  forth  his  honest  pride  —

two  years,  and  was  buried  at  Leamington,  his

friends  "in  token  of  their  respect  to  his  memory," 
and  on  this  is  recorded  the  previous  death  of 
Dorothy  his  wife,  Dec.  14,  1825.  An  intended

of  the  originals  of  the  portraits,  and  states  that  it 
is  to  becomo  the  sole  property  of  the  survivor.  It 
was  the  lot  of  Bisset  to  outlive  his  brethren,  and 
the  picture  fell  to  him.  It  has  eince  passed  into

If  llERMTSf TRVDE  wiU  refer  to  the  Cot  Top.d 
Gen.  V.  155,  she  will  find  it  stated  by  Towncenl 
on  tho  authority  of  the  po8t-fiwrtem  inquest  of 
Maude  Countess  of  Oxford,  taken  in  14  Hen.  FV, 
that  her  (Maude's)  mother,  Elizabeth,  was  ^ 
sister  of  Alice,  mother  of  William  willonghbr. 
and  that  Bobert  Willoughby,  son  of  the  and 
William,  was  her  next  heir. 

Townsend,  who  had,  he  informs  u^  bestoweS 
much  pains  in  the  endeavour  to  ascertain  tte 
parentage  of  the  two  sisters,  Elizabeth  T7ffi>rd  tak 
Alice  Willoughby,  had  not  been  able  to  decide; 
but  it  is  shown  in  on  editorial  note  that  these  tm 
ladies  were  daughters  (but  not  ooheizs  as  TswiH 
has  it)  of  John  first  Lord  Botetourt.  «nd  tbat 
Elizabeth  was  the  widow  of  William  le  Latinuv 
and  wife  of  Kobort  Vtfnrd,  aon  and  heir  appaicel 
of  Robert  Eari  of  Suffolk,  which  Robert  diedn.p. 

Tho  first  wife  of  Robert  Willoughby  is  callra 
in  most  of  the  pedigrees  Alice  SkipwiUi.  Banb 
refers  to  a  MS.  by  Henry  St.  Georare ;  but  I  find 
that  in  Burke's  ^liinct  Peerage  (ivo  Montacute), 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John  third  Earl  of  SaUs- 
bury,  is  stated  to  have  been  married  to  Kobert 
Lord  Willoughby  of  Ercsby.  Probably  this  ii 
Hehmentrttdb's  authority. 

Banks  in  his  Banmia  (i.  440^  gives  a  table  ia. 
which  Robert  de  Ufford  has  issue  by  OecsUs

"CRUMBLE"  IX  TOPOGRAPHICAL  NAMES. 
(4*  S.  iv.  3:15,  491,  570 ;  v.  40.) 

J.  Ck.  R.  (4»»'  S,  iv.  401)  makes  some  sUte- 
mctits  respecting  the  etymology  of  names  of 
places  in  Scotland  which  have  the  pretix  Crom,  or 
in  which  that  word  enters,  and  further  concludes 
with  asserting  that  the  people  nf  England  and 
Scotland  de'^cend  from  the  "  Norsemen,"  as  he  de- 
clares they  are  "our  trno  progenitors."  This  is, 
in  r^gsrd  to  Scotlsnd,  to  use  tne  mildest  phrase, 
as  great  romance  and  fable  as  ever  baa  been  pro- 
pounded. The  Danes  (that  is,  the  Norsemen)  oad 
no  footing  wh/itover  on  the  mainliuid  of  present 
Scotland  till  after  the  tenth  century,  and  of  more 
thnn  two-thirds  of  it  they  were  nt  no  time  the 
settled  inhabitants;  therefore  the  Dtuiee  could  not 
have  given  local  names  to  a  country  which  tliey 
never  occttpird. 

With  regard  to  the  word  Crom,  your  corre- 
spondent says  its  etymology  is  from  a  Scandina- 
Tian  proper  name,  which  he  calls  Kmm-r,  but

does  not  tdl  ys  -whnt  that  means.  In  the  coun- 
ties of  Ediubur^^h  and  Fif?  (neither  of  which  the 
Banes  ever  possiuwed)  there  is  a  place  called 
Abercror/ihie.  It  is  impossible  this  narnCf  vrith 
the  pfefix  Aber^  could  come  from  Noiaemoii,  as 
it  is  derived  from  the  (laelic  langMsgo  and  means 
n  confluence;  and  the  word  Ct^m  joined  to  it  is 
also  from  the  Gaelic,  and  m^nities  curved  or 
flloping.  Thu  name  and  aU  othcra  vbero  the 
"Word  Cr»m  appoarH  in  (Scottish  topijgrapbj  were 
no  doubt  given  by  the  Caledoaiaii  Gael  at  least 
a  thousand  ye-ars  l^fforu  even  the  earliest  apiiear- 
auce  of  the  Danes  at  ouy  port  of  prewnt  Scot- 
land. 

In  the  coimty  of  Elgin  there  is  Crotudale;  it  U 
from  the  Onelic  Crom-^itiJ,  that  i',  the  cun*cd 

Slain  or  field.  Cromki,  in  the  comities  of  Abpr- 
oen  and  Lanark,  is  hovx  Crom*lcathady  meaoing 
the  curved  elope.  Many  more  osamples  could  hu 
given,  but  I  should  only  enrfoarh  too  much  on 
jour  space,  l  must  not,  however,  fail  to  men- 
tion that  Crom  likewise  appears  in  Irish  lupo- 
graphy,  and  has  the  same  ueuuing  as  in  Scotlaud. 
It  occurs  in  the  counties  of  Ktrry  and  LeiLriui^ 
Tirhere  there  never  wMe  Danish  inhabitants.  In 
conclusion,  as  to  the  Norsemen  being  "  the  true 
prosfenitora  "  of  either  the  Highlnnders  or  I^ow- 
tanaers  of  Scotland,  it  is  absurd,  and  contrary  to 
all  history  nod  truth,  A  IIiaiii.ANJU?R. 

In  niv  oonimunication  (p.  4f>]  there  are  mis- 
pints  of  two  Hreton  words :  the  Breton  for  *'  rock  " 
18  roch  (not  ror'k)^  the  Breton  for  "young"'  is 
iaowmk  (not  u/ounnk).  To  that  comrauoication  I 
would  add  a  litUo. 

With  the  Breton  ftf^mmm  (as  in  the  dialect  of 
L»^on)j  orkrmnm  ((win  the  dialects  of  Cornouaille, 
TpSgmer,  and  Vannaa),  crooW,  may  be  com- 
pared the  Qermau  Anmiwi,  crooked,  aod  tlie  pro- 
vincial lingUsh  cro7/te,  crook,  stick  with  a  crook 
at  the  end.  With  this  latter  word,  moreover, 
•hould  be  connected  the  English  word  cmw-htii 
(i.  r,  bar  with  a  cro</k  at  the  end),  or,  by  abbre- 
viation, croK.  It  is  a  mistake  to  cuniiect  this  word 
with  the  name  of  the  bird  called  avw,  a  deriva- 
tion neceaaitatiDg  for  the  nuuce  the  erroneous 
suppoatlon  that  the  end  of  the  bar  resembles  a 
crow's  beak,  which,  after  all,  is  not  crooked. 

Afl  to  the  aecond  half  of  cruuible,  I  need  not

Marriage  licenses  are  granted  by  the  smrogates  or

mined, and  that  the  dAt>j  of  ida  death  in  the  in- 
scription was  plainly  June  10,  101*7,  it  seemed 
useless  to  reply  until  either  I  could  verify  my 
extract  from  the  register  dating  his  burial  nu  Jan. 
15,  liB)7-8,  or  I  could  prove  by  other  evidence 
that  this  last  date  nuist  oe  wrong.  I  have  been 
unable  to  consult  the  originnl  registers  of  High- 
gate  Chapel,  but  I  have  a^ertained  that  the  will 
of  8ir  I^iancis  was  proved  in  the  Prerogative 
Court  on  August  11,  10U7,  with  two  codicils. 
Codicil  No.  1  is  dated  June  0,  1097,  but  codicil 
No.  2  is  not  dated,  and  merely  gives  some  trifling 
legacies  to  servants,  &c.  I  find,  moreover,  that 
it  is  recorded  in  the  minute-book  of  Ilighgale 
school  tliat  on  June  23,  1007,  Sir  Wm.  /Vshurst,

of  Highgste  School  and  Chapel  in  the  place  of 
Sir  Francis  Pemberton,  Knt,  who  had  died  on 
June  10  preceding.  Mh.  Foss,  therefore,  was 
right  in  trusting  to  Chauocy's  copy  of  the  epitaph, 
and  I  was  wrong  ia  relying  on  ray  trauscripl  of 
the  regi.^ter;  and  I  beg  him  to  accept  my  apolo-

referred  to  by  your  correspondent  I  know  well, 
having  resided  within  a  mile  of  them  for  twenty 
years.  They  are  somewhat  larger  than  described 
by  Q.  l*revioufl  to  their  being  surrounded  by  the 
protecting  wall  and  railing,  many  marks  of  tho 
circle  and  cup  character  were  visible  on  their 
rough  Burfaces,  but  the  ivy  which  has  been  planti'd 
boa  covered  them  with  a  thick  veil  of  loha^e. 
That  ihey  are  pre-Saxon  in  their  origin  there  can 
be  BO  doubt,  as  they  form  the  meeting-point  of 
three  townsJiips — Woolton.  AUerton,  and  Waver- 
troe.  Tho  Saxon  settlers  finding  th«m  prominent 
objects  on  a  bleak  rocky  moorside,  might  verj' 
naturally  connect  them  with  the  mysterious  rite's 
of  their  prodecessora  whom  they  had  driven  out, 
and  heuce  the  name  of  the  "sorcerer's  stone.^."  I 
may  mention  that  very  recently,  within  a  rnodu- 
rate  di:stuuce  from  these  stones,  a  number  of  cine- 
rary urns  of  rude  pottery  of  the  early  stone  period

It  h  not  probable  that  the»e  words  can  be  found 
in  any  classical  writers,  for  they  state  a  false  pro- 
position. They  have  boen  used  by  Hoine  modem 
minute  philosopher  who  indulges  in  specuUtJons 
on  molecules  and  ntoms,  and  who  ma3'  be  con- 
Bidorcd  "  the  small  unknown."  I  poeaess  a  work 
written  by  an  Inner  Templar — HluU  w  Matter  ? — 
in  which  (p.  *M)  he  says:  — 

**  I  was  IM  to  adffinlta  knoirlodffc  of  the  nntnrfof  an 
atotn,  wherein  1  «aw  the  mantfeflUtian  of  onrlnw,  resuU- 
iDg  in  two  equal  and  opposite  forces— attraction  and 
repuUlon.  1  imroecliately  felt  that  tho  world  is  but  the 
Twiltant  of  atoms — a  groat  atom  of  attraclinn  and  repul- 
sion, and  the  univcrw  but  tbo  reaoltantof  all  worlds— 
Itcelf  al«o,  as  it  n-ere,  an  atom  of  tfaeao  two  force?,  aitrac- 
tk>n  and  TenuUion,  tbe  roanifestatton  still  of  one  gnat 
hrw." 

By  a  geometrical  and  analvtical  investigation  the 
author^has  arrived  at  tbe  following  result  (p.  181^  : 
"  The  equatorial  diameter  of  all  atoms  is  tne 
same;  nnmely,  aiiaiiiavi^^  P**"^  ^^  *°  inch."  To 
understand  thw  author  thoroughly,  tho  readermuat 
master  pp.  121-190 ;  and  I  think  he  will  agree 
with  me  that  tbo  result  is  more  important  even 
thAn  Dalton'e  theory  of  definite  proportions.

Arthur  Barnardisto?!  (4""  S.  iv.  ."W?,  409.) 
It  turns  out  that  I  wm  right  in  doubting  whether 
Arthur  Baruardiston,  who  married  nt  WeRtmin- 
ster  Abbey  in  1071-2,  could  be  the  Master  in 
Chancery  of  106o  ;  for  it  has  been  found  that  the 
Master's  will  is  dated  Nov.  10,  10i55,  and  was 
proved  in  tbe  Prerogative  Court  on  Dec.  19  in 
the  same  year.  The  testator  mentions  his  brother 
Sir\ntbaniel,and  must  therefore  have  been  the  son 
of  Sir  Thomas  Barnardiaton  of  Witham,  who,  in 
his  will  dated  July  i?n,  IGIO,  speaks  of  "  my  s^mW 
son  Arthur."  I  obeorve  that  all  the  Coronetngea 
make  bim  younger  than  bit)  brother  Thomas ;  but 
his  father  must  nave  known  best  whether  Arthur 
was  his  second  or  third  son;  and  bis  filiatiaii  is 
correctly  stated  in  Mr  Almack's  interesting 
account  of  the  family  in  the  4th  vol.  of  tbe  ^Suffolk 
Arrhtmloffia.  "  Tewars.

AN  UNPITBLISHEO  PAOE  tX  THK  LIFE  OF 

LAUOER. 

In  the  year  17C1  the  literary  world  of  London 

diAturbed  by  a  publicntion  bearing  tho  name 

"iUiam  louder,  in  ^vhicb  the  nutUeiiticity  of 

»e  |>i*^ni  of  PnrtidiHc  Lost  waa  chalk'ngc^d. 

i'.M-  WilUaui    Lauder  was   a   Scotch   echool- 

I  ^  to  have  combined  (in  einuU- 

'  rary  cfaarlataD;,  Maophcrson,  of 

*»•-■,  iti     II  "lou'.'ty)  ingenaity  and  effrontery  in  | 

e^aal  proportion ;  for  so  eloquently  did  he 

^         ftir  truth,  and  so  powerfully  reprpsont  the 

tzoinorlal  author  of  Paradise  lAtfi  as  a  plaj^arist, 

ftfr  convincing  nine-tenths  of  the  f^ormor 

^  in  John  Muton  that  the  great  poet  was 

jit  all,  but  A  rhapsodiat,  a  stringer  of  bor- 

:'t?arl»,  a  writer  of  "  centos,"  ho  actually  I 

tbe  pcrupuloua  Dr.  Samuel  Jobnuon  him- 

tt  preface   to   this  Scotch   farrago, 

ted  in  eSect  to  an  exposure  of  the 

lesty  of  the  man  whose  name  alone 

to  be  coupled  with  that  of  William 

This  preface  was  a  crowning  device. 

I  the  mort  refipectfthlo  authority  and 

!'-•  uf  his  day  had  endorse!  Lauder's  pam- 

luw-'d  the  greatest   confiirHon;  for  when 

roarpd,  the  other  animals  bad  learned  to 

■  ir  peace.     Unfortunately  for  the  learned 

^  6eiUeiLUoasDB8B,  matters  epeedily  took  a 


turn  which  proved  the  fallibility  of  the  oracle 
and  the  impositions  of  ite  priest  The  unworthy 
pedagof^rue  waa  detectedi  and  punished  in  propor- 
tion to  tbo  enormity  of  the  fraud.  The  Kev. 
John  Douglas  (then  rector  of  Eaton- Cone  tan  tine, 
in  Shropshire,  and  afterwards  Lord  Bitthop  of 
Salijibury,  to  whom  Goldsmith  alludes  in  hia 
"  Itetaliation,"  aa  '*  the  scourge  of  impostors,  the 
terror  of  quacks  ")  came  out  in  indip-nauon  against 
Lauder  in  a  conclusire  pamphlet  (1751 )  entitled — 

"Milton  rindicatod  from  the  Chirge  of  Placiari!mi 
hrouffht  apainRt  liim  Iit  Mr.  I.andor,  and  Lauder  himself 
con\-ictcd  of  «vtral  Korgerie*  and  groaa  IinpoitiLiunx  ou  Ibe 
Public,  in  a  Letter  bnmbly  addressBd  to  the  Ri^hl  Honor- 
abltthoEarlofBatb.** 

Dr.  Douglas  was  successful  in  his  attack  against 
and  exposure  of  Lauder's  interpolations,  and  ao 
confounded  the  impo!)tor  that  an  apology,  alao 
written  by  Johnson,  who  must  have  felt  Ibimself 
not  a  little  compromised  in  the  matter,  was  pub- 
lished, and  addressed  to  the  worthy  rector,  in 
which  louder  confrnscs  to  the  intcrpolatiotia, 
though  ho  gives  no  fiatipfactory  reason  for  the 
frautJC  He  pleads  a  species  of  insanity  diverted 
into  deception,  while  he  repudiates  all  vindictive- 
ness  agamat  Milton's  poetical  or  political  fame. 
The  whole  apology  is  remarkably  lame,  and  has 
none  of  that  strength  and  firmness  of  tune  which 
charactarises  Johnson^s  writings.  Sir  John  Haw- 
kins owns  that  he  cannot  reconcile  the  two  contra- 
dictory opinions  uttered  by  Johnson  upon  Milton's 
character  and  works,  and  it  must  oe  confessed 
that,  primdfavie.  the  learned  doctor  stands  con- 
victed of  inconsistency.  Rut  wo  must  refer  our 
readers  to  the  account  of  this  remarkable  episode 
OS  it  is  jpven  in  IJosweirs  Life  of  John9on  (edit 
Malune),  and  to  Jolmson*s  Phihlogical  and  Mis- 
ceiknteou9  Tracttj  where  preface  and  apology  are 
printed  side  by  »ide.  This  exposure  bad  the 
desired  effect  His  friends  disgusted,  and  the 
literary  world  incensed,  Lauder  waa  compelled  to 
quit  his  country,  and  after  some  wandering  he 
sought  shelter  in  the  island  of  Barbados — a  spot 
famous  as  a  refuge  for  many  important  (as  well 
as  unimportant)  olTcndera.  Victims  of  political 
persecution  in  tho  matter  of  the  Jacobite  causo 
escaped  and  wert>  exiled  thither  continually,  till, 
as  Cnrlyle  has  it,  the  name  of  the  place  and  the 
denomination  of  the  punishment  became  iden- 
tical ;  for  the  phrase  of  warning  to  ofiTenders  was, 
"  We  will  Barbados  them." 

To  return,  however,  to  Ijinder:  this  worthy  at 
first  opened  a  grammar-school,  but  either  fulling 
in  this  speculation,  or  with  the  desire  to  dismias 
any  sABociation  with  his  former  life,  he  took  a 
huck.iter's  shop  in  the  '^  Roebuck,''  which  he  con- 
ducted with  the  ud  of  an  African  woman  whom 
ho  had  purcbnfied,  and  by  whom  he  bad 
one  daughter,  Rachel,  afterwards  celebrated  as 
*'  Hostess  Riilirreen  "  of  the  Roval  Naval  Hotel.

The  dolphin  may,  howcTer,  well  have  a  sig-  • 
niii'^nce  unconnected  with  Silranus.  It  wa^  i 
accounted  the  lover  of  man,  ta  we  learn  both 
from  Ilutarch  and  Pliny.  The  dolphin  which 
preflfTrf:d  the  life  of  Arion  when  he  waB  cast  into 
the  waro.)  was  commemorated  among  the  stars 
and  promoted  to  a  constellation.  Thus  we  read 
in  (>vid'M  episode  of  Arion  t : — 

**Qu«in  m'-Klo  cjelatum  stellu  Delphina  videba^ 
h  fu^ift  vuiu  Docte  seriucnte  taos."

Hence  (as  a  noble  and  accomplished  friend  has 
■uggfssted  to  me)  the  dolphin  on  these  Roman 
altiirn  may  pofisibly  indicate  that  they  were  dedi- 
cated under  the  influence  of  the  constellation 
Di^hinus. 

The  dolphin  was  commonly  the  symbol  of  the 
wsterp.  Ill  Greece  it  was  therefore  taken  by  the 
early  navigators  for  their  emblem,  as  the  tunny 
was  bv  the  Phoenicians.  In  the  oldest  mrstic 
symbolism,  fish  were  the  natural  emblems  of  the 
productive  power  of  the  waters,  being  more  pro- 
lific thun  any  other  creatures.  On  Greek  coins 
the  bull  is  placed  sometimes  between  two  dol- 
phins, and  in  some  instances  upon  a  dolphin, 
while  in  other  cases  the  Minotaur,  or  a  more 
humanised  representation  of  the  god,  occurswithin 
a  scroll  meant  to  represent  the  waters.  So,  per- 
haps the  dolphin  on  the  Hltar  found  at  Stanhope 
may  l>e  an  emblem  of  the  adjacent  river,  end  indi- 
cate tlmt  iU  waters  wore  frequented  by  sea-fish. 

I'he  <io1phin  was  frequently  introduced  in  an- 
cient urcliitHCture  and  sculpture.  According  to 
PaunaiiiftS ,  I  the  daughter  of  Ceres  by  Neptune 
was  ri'presentcd,  in  a  cave  of  PhigaU-,  in  Arcadia, 
holding  on  one  hand  a  dolphin,  and  on  the  other  a 
dovM— both  creatures  of  mystic  symbolism.  The 
Mcdiwian  VenuB,  just  rising  from  the  sea,  is  sup- 
ported by  n  dolphin.     From  ancient  times  it  has

It  has  been  audt  that  the  dolphin  rigmiSed 
among  the  Romans  dispatch  in  busineaB.  Vm- 
pasian,  we  are  told,  oraered  a  dolphin  twiiiiiff 
about  an  anchor  to  be  represented  on  some  of  n 
coins,  **  importing  therebv  both  tardiiat  and  fiH^ 
natio'*  A\ hatever  may  bave  been  ita  orinn, Hii 
symbol  (oi  the  dolphin  and  the  anchor) liifl  h^ 
come  a  very  familiar  one. 

The  dolphin,  when  it  occors  on  aepulchial 
or  monumenta,  seems  to  have  quite  another  eab 
blematic  meaning.  In  a  tomb  m  the  oemeteiy  rf 
Peni^a  is  a  disk  with  solar  rays  and  a  laill 
dolphin  in  relief — a  representation,  apparamyi 
of  the  sun  rinng  from  the  waves,  ana  an  ifl 
emblem  of  resurrection.  The  dolphin  is  a 
ornament  in  Etruscan  sepulchre^  and  is  anmnl 
to  have  a  svmbolic  reierence  to  a  douue  fik 
Mr.  Dennis,  however,  sara  that  it  has  alio  has 
taken  as  emblematic  of  the  maritime  power  of  fti 
Etruscans,  and  as  marking  a  city  which  had  I 
port,  as  it  does  on  the  coins  of  Volterra. 

It  is  worthy  of  remark  that  the  dolphin

those  ancient  monuments  of  ^e  Caladono^ 
probably  a  kindred  Indo-European  iaM.t  ttl 
dolphin  so  constantly  meets  us  in  Chisitin  ad 
ana  sculpture  that  it  must  hare  aoqaind,  id

the  nol^  fish,  perhaps  from  its  legendary 
tion  with  Apollo ;  out  it  acquir^  a  holiflr  0t

AJTLICABIUTT  OF  THE  WORD  -PIRATE." 

1  happen  xd  Xm  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the 

oc  aiid  tLt>  clrcumstaxices  of  the  case  of  the 

^ '  '  !iich  certain  citizens  of

•gt  at  Sch  loader  a  Landing,  and 


precipitated  over  the  Falls  two  miles  below^  in 
the  mpht  of  December  20»  1^37. 

"Ilistoricus,"  in  The  Times  of  December  .31, 
1800,  quotes  with  approval  Daniel  Webster,  the 
great  American  utati^sman,  as,  in  reference  to  its 
employment  on  the  British  side  by  Mr.  Fox,  deny- 
ing the  applicability  of  the  word  pirttie  to  that 
vessel. 

Now,  it  is  true  that  Cicero  (in  his  Z)«  Offieiie, 
3,  20)  says,  not  merely  that  a  pirate  is  not  a  uelli- 
gerent  {pcrdueUiSf  on  which  word  compare  Cicero, 
Vff  Off.  \,  li2,  and  Gaius  in  the  Viffest,  t.  50,  tit.  16, 
leg.  234),  but  that  a  pirate  is  a  foe  of  mankind  in 
general  {hodis  humani  ffeneris). 

But  the  Efiffhsh  Didionary  of  Noah  Webster, 
LL.D.  of  Yale  Colfege,  Newhaven,  U.S.,  as  edited 
in  1804  by  Drs.  GooiWch  and  Porter,  profei^ors 
in  that  college,  gives  the  following  as  a  secondary 
meaning  of  the  word  pirate,  a  tertiary  meaning 
being  "  one  who  infringes  the  law  of  copyright  "— 

''All  armed  ftbip  or  vessel  which  sails  wttbi>ut  n  legal 
cnmmission  for  the  purpose  of  plandcring  other  veaseU  OD 
the  high  KM." 

Probably  this  secondary  meaning  was  given  In 
order  to  make  the  word  pirate  applicable  to  the 
Alabama;  at  all  events  it  suits  that  vessel  as  re- 
garded by  the  United  States. 

At  the  same  time  it  virtually  suits  the  Caro- 
line, for  the  omission  in  her  case  of  "  the  purpose 
of  plundering  other  voasols  *'  must  surely,  aa  well 
as  the  fact  that  her  operations  wore  prosecuted  on 
a  river  and  not  '*  on  the  high  seas,''  l>e  viewed  as 
an  accidental  and  immaterial  droumstance. 

The  fact  is  that  (to  waive  the  case  of  the 
Alabama,  which  was  directhj  in  the  service  of 
insurgents)  we  need  a  word  that  would  exactly 
suit  the  Carolijie,  the  Enosis  (the  Greek  veasel 
that  helped  the  Cretan  insurgents  against  the 
Porte),  and,  say,  any  vessel  in  which  "sympa- 
thizers" of  the  United  States  might,  on  some 
future  occasion,  aid  and  abet  the  Fenians  in 
Canada  or  elsewhere.  Daniel  Webster,  while  pro- 
testing against  the  application  of  the  word  otrate 
to  such  vessels,  says  that  it  would  rest  witu  the 
'  government  risen  against  how  it  should  treat  the 
i  crew  of  such  a  vessel  as  the  Caroline,  A  crew 
liable  to  the  treatment  commonly  allotted  to 
pinites  would  care  little  whether  the  vessel  were 
termed  a  pirate  or  not.  Can  wo  do  otherwise 
than  employ,  for  such  cases,  the  word  pirfUe  in  a 
secondary  sense,  unless  wo  adopt  some  such  com-

lowing, "All  things  happen  to  those  who  wait," 
Talleyrand'a  or  Napoleon  a  ?  Eitibl, 

Neoboes  in  America.— Dr.  Smile-j  stntaa  at 
p.  289  of  Self  Jlripf  popular  edition,  that  about 
the  time  of  the  American  War  of  Indopendunce, 
Sir.  David  Barclay  had  a  "  little  slave  commu- 
nity transported  (o  one  of  the  free  .American 
States^  where  thev  settled  down  and  juntipyn'd." 
I  should  be  ghui  to  ascertain  the  name  of  the 
place  where  this  incident  happened,  and  if  the 
blacks  in  question  have  nmained  an  unbroken 
community  till  the  present  day.  ^V.  IL

I  Tho  truth  is,  iis  Mr.  Coamo  Innoa  acutely  re- 
marks, that  this  popular  error  has  originated  in 
tho  frerjuent  uso  of  the  word  "forest"  in  old 
charters.  But  in  them  it  does  not  mean  what  we 
call  a  woofi,  but  a  cliase.  a  game  preserve,  a  range 
of  bind  having  ltj<!iil  privileges  for  the  prcservfl- 
I  tion  of  game  {Earhj  Scotch  JIi»t,  lOtK)  In  thia 
I  sense,  as  Mr.  Looaii  may  Hod,  Glen  Tilt  is  spoke*n 
I  of  b}'  Pennant  (i,  121 -G)  when  it  was  entirely 
wiiodless,  though  not  enliielv  deorless ;  just  as, 
moreover,  it  was  in  James  V.'a  time  two  hundred 
years  before,  as  we  know  from  Lindsay's  dtscrip- 
tion  of  the  maj^iticent  entertaiumenl  given  to 
that  pleasure-loving  youth  bytbc  Duke  of  Athol. 
And  Uoswell  fuuBa  the  word  so  uaed  ctbd  in 
Skre. 

Pennant's  Tour»  and  M'CuUi>ch*»  JFcdcm  High- 
lands, and  of  course  Cosmo  Innea'  Earhf  Scotch 
UitUory,  will  convince  most  that  there  is  no  ground 
wbatfVf'r  for  the  general  notion  that  Scotland 
was,  in  the  historic  period  at  least,  a  wooded 
country.  Poor  bare  Scotland  it  has  always  mort 
emphatically  been,  yot  '*  bonnie  Scotland  "  for  all

HANGING  OR  MARRYING. 

(4"'S.  iv.204,417,  525.) 

The  custom  is  known  in  France,  and  is  made 
use  of  iu  llctiou  a.s  having  been  praclistHl  in  that 
country.  If  it  existed  in  the  li«le  of  Mati  and 
some  other  place?,  it  was  io  use  over  n  wide  dis- 
trict. In  the  French  paper  Lc  Luinff  of  June  10, 
iHUt),  iu  its  feiiilleton  entitled  "  La  Pupillo  du 
Com»'*dien,"  by  Mctor  Perceval,  there  is  a  well- 
drawn  scene  bearing  on  this  point.  The  period  is 
the  time  of  the  Ke volution,  tiud  sevcml  peraons 
are  led  to  the  sratTold  to  be  t-xecuted.  I  cotlfiaa

united  into  a  sinffle  estate,  were  the  property  of 
Patrick  Murray,  Esq.,  of  Simprim.  \N  hether  the 
estates  of  Grange  and  West  Grange,  in  the  same 
parish,  vere  or  were  not  included  in  the  original 
home-farm  of  the  abbey,  I  do  not  know.  From 
the  twelfth  century— when  the  church  of  Kome 
OTerywhere  culminated,  and,  as  Forbes  *  Quaintly 
obeeires,  "  The  voice  of  the  Ooapel  coula  not  te 
heard  for  the  noise  of  hammera  and  trowels  " — 
down  to  tlie  epoch  of  the  liu formation,  nearly  the 
whole  parish  consisted  of  abbey  lands  owned  by 
the  ecclesiastics  of  the  abbacy. 

That  W.  E.  should  have  jumped  to  the  conclu- 
aion  that  all  personal  names  and  land  estates  not 
mentioned  in  "  the  last  County  Directory  of  Scot' 
Umd  "  are  necessarily  non-cxistcnt,  is  one  of  those 
amusing  delusions  incident  to  the  various  forms 
of  unrenecting  objection  which  one  occasionally 
meets  with.  I  should  think  it  lughlv  improbable, 
on  the  assumption  of  any  usage  \\ith  which  I  am 
acquainted,  that  the  charters  by  Sir  William  Koger 
could  have  been  transferred  to  Thomas  Meik  with 
the  title-deeds  of  the  Mary  well  property.  "  A 
reference  to  this  person/'  W.  E.  says,  *'  would 
easily  ascertain  the  fact."  Yes,  if,  without  the 
intervention  of  Mr.  llomo.t  we  could  communi- 
cate with  a  man  who  has  been  probably  a  hun- 
dred and  fifty  years  in  his  grave  I  How  should  I 
be  presumed  to  know  anything  of  the  descendants 
of  Mr.  Meik  ?  The  marriage  contract  of  my  great- 
grand-aunt  Kathrin  Hogcr,  in  my  possession,  exe-

CRESTS. 
(4"'  S.  v.  32.) 

The  helm  on  the  second  great  seal  of  Richard  I. 
appears  surmounted  by  a  kind  of  cap  charged  iritk 
a  lion  passant,  the  whole  surmounted  by  a  ftih 
liko  ornament.  Tbe  next  earliest  example  at  I 
seal  is  that  of  Henry  de  Laci,  Earl  of  LmcalOf  c 
1272,  Similar  fan-like  crests  appear  on  the  leui 
of  Edmund  Crouchback,  Earl  of  Lanca5ter,r.  128^ 
Alexander  dc  Balliol,  c,  1202  (engraved  in  Boo- 
tell's  Arms  and  Armour^  101),  and  Henry  di 
IVrci,  1300.  In  BoutcU's  EnylitJi  Heraldry  (218) 
is  a  capital  example  of  a  figure  which  be^  to 
supersede  the  fan  crests  from  the  seal  of  Thosu^ 
second  Earl  of  Lancaster,  1320.  Tall  spikes  iren 
at  this  period  placed  on  each  side  of  the  cw^ 
intended  at  first  to  display  the  cotttotse  or  UAft 
scarf  or  favour.  The  seal  of  Ralph  de  Montli*^ 
mer,  Earl  of  Gloucester,  c.  1323,  has  on  the  hda 
an  eagle  crest  and  a  coutoise.  The  latter  dinp- 
peared  in  the  middle  of  the  fourteenth  coituT. 
After  that  the  crest  appears  upon  a  wreath  (per- 
haps derived  by  the  Crusaders  from  tho  tniW 
of  the  Saracens)  or  coronet

In  the  Caaile  of  Krbach,  situated  about  twelve 
English  miles  north  of  Kberbaeh,  on  the  Nockar, 
and  in  the  centre  of  the  Odenwald,  there  ore 
three  tilting  helmets  with  theix  tournament  crests 
still  attached  to  them,  and  iu  the  same  state  aa 
when  they  were  used.  These  crests  are  made 
of  light  wood  or  pasteloard,  and  are  between 
three  aud  four  feet  high,  and  hare  rather  a  comic  i 
appearance.  I  forgtt  to  whom  they  belonged, 
but  1  remember  that  one  had  the  ustial  wings^ 
and  another  the  very  coaimou  horns  (or  trumpets) 
spreading  out  on  each  side  of  a  central  crest.  I 
imagine  that  the  crest  was  very  seldom  used  in 
battle,  the  knights  beiug  dibtinguushed  by  their 
banners;  but  wheu  u.sed,  then  small,  made  of  iron, 
and  screwed  into  the  helmet.  The  castle  I  men- 
tion is  the  residence  of  thu  Counts  of  Erbach- 
Erbach ;  it  contains  au  extraordinary  coUectiou 
of  antlers,  chiefly  moustroBilies,  and  is  yreU  worth 
visiting  when  stopping  at  ileidLdberg. 

Nephbite. 


The  crest  worn  on  tho  helmet  was  carved  in, 
light  vrood.  The  difficulty  of  shaping  it,  and  thej 
necessarily  serious  increase  of  weignt  to  the  heli 
precluded  its  being  made  of  iron.  Illustrfttioiifl 
crests  attached  to  the  helmet  may  be  seen  on  * 
stall-plates  at  Westminster  Abbey  and  St  Oeorge% 
Chapel.  Windsor,  and  in  most  books  on  hernlcu^, 
&c.  What  I**.  M.  S.  alludes  to,  oa  having  sean  m 
an  engraving,  was  probably  a  winged  helmet— a 
form  not  uncommon  in  the  tifteenth  and  pixteent" 
centuries,  aud  a  specimen  of  which  is  in  thft' 
Tower  Armoury.  These  wings  were  of  iron.  Some 
of  the  ontiuue  Roman  helmeU  had  animals  on 
them  wrought  in  m-jtal ;  but  thc*e,  and  the  aboTe- 
mentioned  wings,  were  not  heraldic  cresta.

There  are  in  the  collection  of  the  Palazzo  Pro- 
lorio  hi»re  in  Florence  two  helmets,  Inith  of  which 
have  tho  tops  fashioned  into  crests.  One  is  very 
remarkable,  and  certainly  retiembloa  the  helmets

a  reward  for  fecundity  in  the  marriage  state,  is 
interwoven  into  the  earliest  popular  antiquities  of 
the  Komans ;  for  Spence,  in  his  PolyntHia  (p.  280), 
has  the  following  passage :  — 

"  Alba  Longn  ia  a  place  where  ^neas  met  with  the 
white  sow  and  thirty  pipra,  and  here  was  a  very  fine  flitch 
of  bacun  k^pt  in  the  chief  toinple  ereo  to  Aagustos'i 
time,  as  I  find  recorded  in  that  excellent  historian  Diony- 
siofl  Balicaroasseniiis." 


(qy.  owned  it  after  the  Dissolution  P)  may  or  wtf 
not  hare  been  the  Dryland  referred  to  by  Mk 
Bbdo. 

Where  does  Southouse  or  any  other  bistorin 
say  these  twenty- three  houses  were  only  "Hht 
important  houses"?  One  of  them  produeBd 
ttothinff  annually,  yet  I  am  required  to  befisn 
this  was  *'  an  important  house."  If  it  wen.  iM 
did  the  unimportant  ones  fetch  P  Suielf  ths 
abbot  must  have  paid  people  to  live  in  them.

This  sow  with  thirtypi^  was  an  emblem  of 
fertility  (Montfauc.  A.  £.  i.  323.)  According  to 
tradition,  a  sow  was  the  means  of  the  brine-spring 
of  Liineburg,  and  part  of  her  is  still  preserved 
there,  the  date  of  which  must  be  fixed  before  the 
Christian  era.  Some  of  the  bones  boiled  and 
charred  are  preserved  iu  a  lanthom  over  the  green- 
baize  table  of  the  room  of  assembly,  hence  termed 
the  **  Schincken-stube  *'  or  ham-room.  Dr.  Bell 
copied  the  insicription  on  this  lanthorn  — 

•*  Hie  tibi  cernere  licet  reliquias  Porci  qui  primus 
aqnaruiDf  qua:  Luncburgn  Salzuc  scatent,  remrtur  dici- 
tur." 

Swino  were  held  in  g^at  veneration  in  the 
North,  and  the  sacrifice  of  this  animal  was  fre- 
quently demanded  hy  the  deities  of  Italy.  In 
Tettau  aud  Torame's  Volkssagen  (ii,  25)  is  an  ac- 
count of  the  utforing  of  a  fiitch  of  bacon  by  the 

heathen  Prussians  to   Perounnos,  their  micrhty  1  '^'  /.*  ^   x>

"A  mighty  deity  of  the  heathen  Prussians  was  Per- 
cuanos.  An  eternal  lire  was  kept  hurain;:;  before  him, 
fed  by  oalc  bilktH.  \U.  was  the  god  of  thunder  and  of 
fertility,  aud  he  wa^  therefore  invoked  for  rain  and  fair

I  beg  to  refer  your  correspondent  Mb.  T.  R. 
Habold  for  an  ample  authentic  account  of  the 
Irish  family  of  Harold  to  my  History  and  Anti- 
quUiea  of  Limerick^  pp.  141-2.

Old  French  Woeds:  "Bollh"  (4»»'  S.  iv. 
96,  178,  341,  541 ;  v.  24.}— As  regards  this  word, 
which  has  lately  been  referred  to  more  than  once 
in  vour  columns,  a  reference  to  the  arms  of  the 
old  Lincolnshire  family  of  Bolle  (sometimes  spelt 
BoUes)  in  Durke's  Kttinci  Baronetage  will  clearly 
illustrate  and  confirm  Mb.  Patke's  rendering. 
The  armorial  bearings  are — "Az.  out  of  three 
cups,  or,  as  many  boars'  heads,  couped,  argj." 
The  family  was  originally  of  Swineshead,  which 
probably  accounts  for  the  addition  of  the  boars* 
heads  to  the  holies,  bowls  or  cups,  in  the  shield. 
Can  any  correspondent  obligingly  quote  the  date 
of  the  grant  of  the  arms,  and  state  if  there  is  any 
record  of  the  family,  in  common  with  their  name, 
being  of  French  or  Xorman  origin  ?  It  may  not 
bo  uninteresting^  to  mention  that  of  the  senior 
branch  of  this  liouso  cnme  Sir  John  BoUe,  Knt, 
of  Haugh,  CO.  Lincoln,  who  distinguished  himself 
at  the  fiegc  of  Cudh  in  1-500,  and  was  by  tradi- 
tion the  hero  of  the  ballad  written  about  that 
period,  prcHorved  in  Dr.  Percy's  Hclictt  of  Ancient 
Englifh  Portry,  entitled  "The  Spanish  Lady's 
Love  for  an  liinglishman."  W.  E.  B.

(4*^  S.  T.  la)— Li  thia  article  Goethe  ia  zecacdcd 
to  have  said :  — 

**  The  ode  oa  the  death  of  Gcnenl  Mooie  is  one  of  flu 
most  beaatiful  poema  of  Byron.  Shellev  most  han  ben 
a  narrow-minded  fellow  not  to  feel  thi&'HonoTer.  Bmi 
Bcema  to  me  to  have  bees  &r  too  kind  to  Sbdler." 

Having  lately  had  to  read  up  eyeiTthing  abiMt 
Shelley,  and  not  having  observed  (or  at  aay  i^ 
not  recollecting)  anything  about  this  albir,  I  at 
curious  to  learn  on  what  Goethe's  stfttenMBt  m 
based.  Had  he  any  and  what  ground  for  in^jw 
ing  that  Shelley  supposed  the  ode  in  qoeatian  to 
be  by  Byron,  and  to  be  below  hia  markr  We  all 
know  now  that  the  ode  waa  not  by  Byron;  ^ 
few,I  presume,  would  affirm  that  any  added  diatii»> 
tion  would  accrue  to  him  had  he  been  the  aatheiL 
At  any  rate,  it  is  suffidently  grotesque  to  fiadw  ' 
great  a  man  as  Goethe  running  down  so  great  t  ' 
man  as  Shelley  for  not  admirinfir  as  Byna'l  a 
minor  poem  which  was  not  Byron's.

seTenteentli-century  translation  of  the  JBook  of 
Proverbs  into  liAtin  verse.  I  forget  the  name  of 
the  author,  and  tho  placet,  as  well  as  the  date  of 
publication.  The  book  wna  lent  to  a  friend,  and 
sold  with  his  library.  I  should  be  glad  to  get 
another  copy. 

In  this  translation  the  following  appeared,  as 
part  of  the  rendering  of  ivi.  .13 : —

Wnri-TiNGTOx'}*  BossKS. — Mr.  Orridge  has  written  to 
the  City  PrcM^  pointing  out  how  great  were  the  benefit:^ 
which  ihe  renowned  Whittington  conferred  upon  hi^ 
fe)l<iw-citii:ens  byfumishing  them  with  no  lew  thnu  thrw

Mr.  Edward  Frand*,  of  the**  Athensuro  Prcfia,"  having 
eecnrcd  the  invention  from  Mr.  Griggs,  has  introduced 
an  entirely  new  inoilitHl  of  produring  ropies  of  prints  and 
picture*  to  the  pulilishing  world.  The  com lii nation  of 
photography  with  liihogni|ihy  wan  first  attained  and 
patented  by  Sir  lieury  Jamea,  of  the  Topographical  Ue- 
parlmont;  hut  the  prrjcf!  of  Mr.  Griggs  claims  to  Iw  a 
«on»id''rah!(*  advance  on  the  nriginai  iuvcntion.  Judging 
fcvm  the  «pecimen  we  hnve  "v^^ry,  there  can  be  little  ques- 
tion of  Mr.  Griggs's  8UCCC9S ;  and  if  it  be  true  that  book  . 
pictures,  prints,  Arc,  ran  be  reproduced  by  it,  at  nii> 
hmrtli  the  time  the  mmc  work  can  bo  done  nt  present,

As  the  Erskino  title  of  honour  waa  in  ezutowe 
antecedent  to  the  peeragea  of  Hemes  and  Hilj- 
The  library,  -which  contained  a  quantity  of  burton  of  DIrleton,  in  both  of  which  female  lae- 
valuable  worlds,  -was  afterwards  bequeathed  to  a  I  cession  -was  recognised,  it  might  be  inferred  that 
daughter  by  John  Francis  Erskine,  wlio  by  an  Act  !  it  would  descend  in  a  similar  manner.-  BatthM 
of  Parliament  was  restored  to  the  title  of  Earl  of  '  is  merely  speculative,  as  there  is  no  Toom  fix 
Mar  upon  Junel7, 1824,  and  was  subsequently  sold     tr}'ing  the  c[uestion,  inasmuch  as  the  title  is  now 


by  auction.  Besides  the  family  arras  upon  the 
boards,  there  wrs  olao  pasted  a  curious  engraving 
of  the  old  tower  which  so  narrowly  escaped  the 
iiames,  and  which  had  been  engraved  about  the 
middle  of  last  century.  Both  arms  and  to-wer 
were  carefully  effaced  from  the  books  prior  to  the 
sale.  A  very  few,  however,  accidentally  escaped 
this  vandalism.  The  date  of  the  erection  of  the 
tower  is  said  to  have  been  prior  to  1315 ;  and  a 
reduced  engraving,  evidently  taken  from  the  one 
used  by  the  Mar  family,  is  given  in  a  small  work 
entitled  Alha  and  its  Envirom 


under  attainder,  there  never  having  been  mj 
reversal  of  tho  forfeiture  in  1715,  the  sepante 
honour  of  Mar,  which  had  devolved  on  the  En- 
kiiies  upon  the  death  of  Alexander,  by  coortof 
Earl  of  Mar  in  1437  or  1438,  only  having  be«B 
restored  in  1824.  J.  ]i

exists,  and,  it  is  hoped,  will  be  kept  in  proper 
repair.  It  afibrds  a  charming  view  of  the  beau- 
tiful country  which  surrounds  it  on  every  side. 

The  Alloa  barony  was  given  by  Ba-vid  II.  to 
the  Erskines  in  lieu  of  the  estate  of  Strath  gartney, 
in  the  county  of  Perth,  which  had  come  into 
their  possession.  The  Erskines  came  originally  from 
Benfrewshire,  and  became  Lords  of  Parliament  at 
an  early  date,  long  before  the  time  when  the 
predilection  said  by  Lord  Mansfield  to  have  been 
shown  in  Scotland  in  favour  of  heirs  male  came 
into  operation ;  for  by  the  older  practice,  which 
existed  generally  until  the  return  of  James  I. 
from  his  English  captivity,  heritage  and  heritable 
rights  by  law  devolved  on  the  heir  without  re- 
gard to  sex. 

The  exact  time  of  the  admission  of  the  Erskines 
as  "  Domini  Parliamenti "  has  never  been  exactly 
fixed;  but  it  is  established  that,  in  1458,  Thomas 
Erakine  was  a  Lord  of  Parliament,  as  there  is  on 
record  a  charter  under  the  great  seal  (Lib.  6, 
37)  of  confirmation,  proceeding  on  the  resignation 
of  Thomas  Dominm  Erskine,  whereby  the  king 
grants  "  omnes  et  singulas,  terras  do  Dalnotteris," 
with  the  pertinents,  lying  within  the  Levenax 
(Lennox)  and  county  of  Dumbarton,"  dicto  Thome 
et  heredibw  suis"  to  be  held  of  his  majesty  and 
Am  heiris  and  successors. 

Thomas,  believed  to  have  been  the  second  peer, 
had^  a  son  Alexander,  who  is  styled  in  the  fol- 
io-wing charter  as  bis  son  and  heir  apparent. 
Alexander  obtained  from  the  crown  on  August  26, 
1485,  upon  his  own  resignation,  a  grant  of  the 
entire  barony  of  Balhaghirdy,  lying  -within  the 
barony  of  the  Garviauth  (Garioch)  and  county  of 
Aberaeen,  together  -with  an  annual  rent  of  four 
marks  sterling  annually,  payable  from  the  lands 
of  Flandris,  in  the  same  county,  to  himself  and 
his  heirHf  to  be  held  of  the  king,  Aw  Iteirs  and 
Buccessora.

"  LOVELY  POLLY  STEWART." 

Polly  Stewart,  celebrated  by  Burns  for  her 
beauty,  wfta  daughter  of  Mr.  William  Stewart,  of 
whom  I  haTe  already  spolcen  (4"'  S.  y.  55).  ner 
mother  was  an  En j^liah woman,  the  widnw  of 
John  Lee,  Esq.,  of  Luflwieb,  Northamptonshire, 
bv  whom  aha  had  a  daughter  Ilaunah,  who 
died  at  Cloaeburn  Castle,  17^:^J,  aged  twenty- 
three  years.  Sbe  was  married  to  Mr.  Stewart 
about  177*1,  and  Polly  was  born  about  the  year 
1775;  and  would,  therefore,  be  in  her  sixteenth 
or  seventeenth  vear  when  aho  became  Imown  to 
Buma  at  Close^um  Caatle,  hor  father's  houae. 
Some  old  people,  who  still  remember  to  have  seen 
her  in  her  younger  days,  speak  in  enthusiastic 
terras  of  her  beauty  and  the  alimneas  of  her  form ; 
and  even  those  who  knew  her  when  ^he  had 
reached  threescore,  say  tiiat  her  youthful  figure 
was  such  that  it  was  only  when  her  couutenanoe 
waa  feen  that  you  could  believe  that  she  was 
advanced  in  years.  She  waa  first  married  to  her 
cousin  Iithmael  f^tcwart,  and  hod  by  him  tlireo 
sons,  William,  Charles,  and  Alexander,  who  were 
living  with  their  grandfather  at  Laught  in  1805, 
and  attending  Wallace  Hall  achooL  Ifer  husband 
Ishmael  waa  obliged  to  leave  the  country  under  a 
cloud,  and  dared  not  return.  At  what  time  he 
died,  and  where,  is  unknown  :  but  Polly  in  1801 
was,  tradition  snyfl,  obliged  to  marrj'  against  her 
inclination  Mr.  George  WeUh,  grand-uncle  to  the 
late  Mr;?.  Thomas  Carlyle — one  of  the  moat  re- 
spectable tenants  on  the  Queenaberr)*  estate,  in 
whoae  family  the  farm  of  Mortou  Mains  had  been 
for  many  years.  Such  marriages  are  seldom  for- 
tunate, and  Polly  did  not  find  herself  an  excep- 
tion. She  waa  of  a  gay  disposition,  a  lover  of 
pleasure;  and  Morton  Mains  is  now,  and  waa 
then  still  more,  distant  from  the  busy  haunts  of 
men.    Their  married  life  was  not  happy,  and  tha^^fl

her  fnther's  hotise,  who  bft'I  Itikon  up  his  abode 
in  18(Hi  in  Maxwelitown.  She  had  two  dauffhlrrs, 
who  predeceased  her.  DTMiifrie-?  whh  nl  ihat  time 
ftill  of  Fri*nch  olUccrs,  prisoaiirs  of  war;  and 
aiuonji  them  wo^^  a  handsome  Swi:^,  of  the  name 
of  rieitx,  to  whom  she  became  unfortunately 
nttfu^bed,  In  ppite  of  all  remouri trances  &he 
joined  her  fato  to  that  of  Fleite,  acrompnny- 
lag  him  to  Franco,  where  Fleitz  found  em- 
ployment in  the  Snnfifi  tro<^ps  embodied  bv 
Louia  XVIII.  In  thifi  8«>rvico  he  rcmiuned  (ill 
1830,  and  Polly  contluued  with  him.  In  that 
year  Louis  }*hilippe  a'^conded  t!ie  throne,  and  dis- 
missed the  whole  of  the  Swias  uierceunries,  wlieu 
Fleit/.  found  himself  tbrnwn  nn  th«  wirle  wi.)rld. 
He  hud  for  many  ycare  been  stitioned  with  his 
reginiQDt  in  the  island  of  Cor-ica,  but  then  re- 
turneil  to  Switzerland  with  Polly,  whore  we  find 
her  dating  the  following  interesting  k-tlers  from 
Laiifteobiirp,  near  Bnsle. 

She  was  now  approftching*  thrwiecore  years; 
•ad  the  glamour  that  had  been  thrown  oveT  her 
eyes  by  pasaon,  thirty  years  before,  mubt  have 
Men  long  diampnted.  There  is  a  deep-pent  yearn- 
in^'-  in  these  letters  for  kuowled^  of  the  iate  of 
those  children  of  whom  ebe  could  not  for^t  that 
she  waa  the  mother.  Iler  own  immediate  rela- 
tires  bad  passed  into  the  grave,  and  the  writes 
evidently  at  a  venture  to  one  whom  »be  had 
known  manj*  years  before  to  have  been  the  con- 
fidentiHl  friend  of  hor  younfftiit  son  Alexander. 
The  late  Mr.  l^ajprnn,  tn  whom  they  are  addresaed, 
was  the  proprietor  of  the  King's  Arms  Hotel, 
AfAxwelltown,  and  one  who  passed  through  lil'ti 
highly  respected  by  a  large  circle  of  friends.  I 
have  to  thank  his  eon,  Mr.  William  Pagan,  for  a 
oopy  of  the  following  letters :  —

entirelr  prostrated  bj  the  climftte  of  Demerara, 
where  he  had  reaided  for  manj  years,  that  he  was 
unable  to  walk.  The  mother  and  son  had  been 
too  long  separated  to  have  much  sympathy  with 
each  otner.  Though  Alexander  was  obliged  to 
be  wheeled  in  a  chair,  he  took  to  himself  a  wife, 
and  this  induced  Polly  to  return  to  France.  After 
some  years  Fleitz  died,  when  Polly  took  refuge 
with  a  cousin  in  Florence.  Her  mind  at  last  gave 
wayi  and  she  was  removed  to  an  asylum,  dying 
there  in  1847,  in  the  seventy-second  year  of  her 
age.  She  had  aurvived  all  her  children,  who 
had  all  died  without  odspring.  Such  was  the 
chequered  fate  of  "lovely  Polly  Stewart,"  of 
whom  Bums  sings  thus :  — 

«  O  lovely  Polly  Stewart  I 
O  charming  Volly  Stewart  I 
Tbere'd  not  a  flower  that  blooms  in  May 

That's  half  so  Tair  as  thoa  art. 
The  flower  it  blaws,  it  fades  and  fa*a. 

And  art  can  ne'er  renew  it : 
But  worth  and  truth  eternal  youth 

Will  give  to  Polly  Stewart 
May  he  whose  arms  shall  faold  thy  charms 

Possess  a  loal  and  trae  heart ; 
To  him  be  ^ven  to  ken  the  heaven 
He  grasps  in  Polly  Ste;nrttrt. 
0  lovely  PoHv  Stewart ! 
0  charming  ^olly  Stewart ! 
There's  ne'er  a  flower  that  blooms  ia  May 
That's  half  so  sweet  as  thoa  art."

Two  BAitE  Books. — At  a  sale  of  books  and 
MSS.  at  Canterbury,  on  January  4,  1870,  two 
books  were  sold  which  seem  to  be  wortiiy  of  a  note 
in  "  N.  &  Q."  I  cut  out  of  the  catalogue  the  de- 
scription of  the  two  lots :  — 

"  168.  A  Choice  Banquet  of  Witty  Jests,  Rare  Fancies, 
and  Pleasant  Novels,  being  an  addition  to  Archee's  Jests, 
1660,  fine  frontispiece,  12mo. 

*'*«*  Ko  copy  in  the  Daniel,  Smith,  or  Coraer  collec- 
tions ;  the  companion  volume  sold  at  Daniel's  sale  for 
ISt,  and  at  Smith's  for  8/.  8«. 

"178.  r  Shakespeare  Wm.]  The  Tragedie  of  Richarde 
Duke  of  York,  and  Death  of  King  Henry  VI. ;  'Printed 
at  London  for  W.  W.,  for  Thomas  Millioficton,  and  are  to 
be  sold  at  his  shoppe  ander  Saint  Peter's  Church,  in  Corne- 
viOl,  1604  '  i  4to. 

"•,•  This  is  the  orginal  form  of  Shakespeare's  King 
Henry  VI.,  part  11.;  three  editions  were  printed,  bat 
neither  Geo.  Danid  nor  Geo.  Smith  possessed  a  copy  of 
either  edition,  and  the  copy  sold  br  auction  of  this  edi- 
tion in  May,  1857,  the  propertr  of  Mr.  J.  O.  HalliweU, 
fetched  60/.  Two  leaves  K  1  and'E  2  are  slightly  damaged. 

**  In  the  same  coyer  is  bound  Massingcr's  Maid  of 
Honor,  1632,  4to.'* 

I  am  not  sure  whether  lot  168  was  complete. 
It  was  in  a  deplorable  condition,  the  leaves  oeing 
secured  in  the  corer  by  a  string.    It  fetched  nine  I 
pounds  ten  shillings. 

Lot  173.  The  two  plays  are  stitched  together^-  i 


not  bound — and  I  think  the  edges  of  botk  lal 
been  cut.  The  lot  was  knocked  down  at  aen* 
teen  pounds  ten  shillings.  J.  M.  Conn 

Tarrikq  AiTD  Featherivo. — ^HoTedsn,  qoohl' 
in  Hook's  Lives  of  the  Archbishops  of  CoHMitff 
states  that  Kichard  Oceur  de  Lion,  in  the  Imt 
lud  down  for  the  regulation  of  his  fleet  iM 
sailing  for  the  Holy  Land,  enacted  that  — 
I  "  a  robber  who  shall  be  convicted  of  theft  shall  bin 
I  head  cropped  after  the  manner  of  a  chami^oo,soiU^ 

ing  pitch  shall  be  poured  thereon,  and  then  tbe  ftifl 
I  of  a  cushion  shall  be  shaken  oat  upon  him,  so  tW 
mav  bo  known,  and  at  the  first  land  at  which  Ik  ' 
shall  touch  he  shall  be  set  on  sliore.*' 

From  the  minuteness  of  the  directions  ginal 
the  process,  it  would  appear  that  the  lion-' 
king  was  the  original  aeriser  of  the  idea  of 
reversing  the  conditions  of  construction  ofT 
man."     The  next  notice  I  have  met  with 
the  — 

"  strange  carriage  of  that  boisteroas  Bishop  of 
stadt  (for  so  they  term  him  here),  ^at  barin; 
place  where  there  were  two  monasteries  ofnnnstiii 
he  caused  divers  feather-beds  to  be  ripped,  tod  li 
feathers  to  be  thrown  in  a  great  hall,  whithir  tk  i 
and  friars  were  thrust  naked  with  their  bodies  cfliijl 
pitched,  and  to  tumble  among  these  feathen; 
makes  them  here  presage  him  an  ill  death." 

Thus  writes  James  Howell  from  "ihiei. 
1623.    Again,  the  custom  appears  in 
1606,  when  the  inhabitants  of  tbe  Saroj 
dealt  with  one  who  had  presumed  to  ester 
precinct  to  demand  a  debt  from  a  person  «h»i 
taken  sanctuary  there.    It  is  stated  to  bant 
their  usual  custom,  and  after  the 
feathering  was  complete  they  carried  the 
bailiff  in  a  wheelbarrow  into  the  Stnnd, 
bound  him  fast  to  the  Maypole.   (Jesse's 
rials  of  London,  2nd  Series,  ii.  378.)    Otbffi 
stances  on  this  side  the  Atlantic  I  hare  noti 
3f.    I  presume  that  the  "  Bishop  of  Halvi 
is  a  nam  de  gtierre^  but  it  is  singular  that  MVi 
piece  of  barbarity  should  have  tuen  itsnttj^ 
it  did,  on  80  solenm  an  occasion  as  the  prer 
for  a  crusade.  VnWil 

Coins  of  Cok8TANTI0S.— T^et  me  notei 
(so  I  believe  it  to  be*)  in  Dr.  WiUiam 
article  on  Constantius  III.  (Smith's 
Roman  and  Greek  Bioffraphf,  ^c,  1844.) 
nays :  "  Only  gold  coinn  of  Constantius  ban  I

coins  of  this  emperor  are  common.

the  same  personage  I  find  in  an  old  Scottish 
ballad  printed  in  Pieces  of  Ancient  Poetry  (Bris- 
tol, 1814,  p.  51),  the  first  verse  of  which  runs 
thua : — 

"  Johnny  Conk,  in  a  May  morning. 
Sought  irutirr  lo  wa»li  bin  Imnds  ; 
And  he  is  awa  to  louse  hiit  doc^s. 
That's  tied  wi*  iron  banii. 
That's  lied  wi'  iron  bans." 
The  copy  given  of  this  song  is  not  complete. 
Is  a  more  ancient  or  correct  copy  to  be  met  with  P 
William  Hakbison.

and  a  still  more  brief  one  in  Strutl'a  Sports  ami

weapon,  some  tliirty  or  forty  years  nj{o,  for  shoot- 
ing rooks  and  other  email  frame.  It  is  now  almost 
obsolete,  but  I  use  it  stilt  I  should  be  glad  to 
know  if  any  writer  on  the  subject  of  archery  gives 
any  information  regarding  ita  nature  and  use.

A  question  relative  to  the  death  of  J.  Sy^t  Bris- 
tnw,  of  Eusniere  Hill,  Hnnts,  who  is  fiaid  ti^  be 
the  autlior  of  five  vcluuies  of  poema  publi,shed  in

Oeity  than  I!.  Ik<;lis  biuit-cU'  hits  looked,  for  on 
aoawer  lo  Lbat  query;  inatuiuch  wt,  ulthoufffa  I 
llave  never  had  (with  the  exception  of  my  father) 
any  relatioa  of  mv  own  name,  have  never  had  any 
connection  ivith  Ensmere  UiU,  or  with  liampahiref 
and  still  (thank  God  I )  survive,  niy  name  (except 
in  one  trivial  point)  appears  to  be  identical  with 
that  about  which  the  inquiry  irt  made,  and  more- 
OYer  I  acUmlly  did.  in  the  year  18.50,  publiab  a 
volume  q(  JuvKniic  Poema. 

I  do  not  preeume  to  believe  that  mv  letter  will 
throw  any  light  upin  the  subject  whfch  interests 
K.  Inqus;  but  if  it  do  not.  it  is  at  least  a  very 
KDtarkable  coincidence  that  there  should  bavu 
been  two  perwns  of  the  name  of  J.  Sycr  Bri^ 
tow  (or  'Oice),  not  related  to  one  anoLbor,  not 
Oftmed  the  one  after  the  other,  and  quite  unknown 
to  one  another,  and  who  have  also  both  been 
guilty  (I  beg  my  namesake's  pardon)  of  the  indis- 
cretion or  vanity  of  puhliflhiug,  and  publishing 
about  the  satne  time,  rhymes  which  they  have 
-ventured  to  dij^nify  by  the*  nam©  of  poetry/ 

The  coincidence  wnulj  not  be  so  vorv  remark- 
able if  Syer  and  Briftowe  were  both'  of  thorn 
very  common  names,  or  if  the  two  had  become 
blended  into  a  compound  surname  several  genera- 
tions back,  and  been  transmitted  in  that  form  to 
sevend  linc.<4  of  de<*cendant^.  I  knon%  however, 
that  the  name  f^vcr  was  introduced  into  mv  own

S  MOMt  pcr«4iuj  rcadiiip  ibis  would  suppose 
Wmhimihiij   was  founded  as  an   order  in 


1717,  but  that  is  Mr,  Pinkbrton's  methodpof 
making  our  society  appear  the  junior.  The  fact 
is  that  in  1717  four  lod^^es  met  aud  resolved  to 
form  tbeniMflves  into  a  Grand  Lodge,  or  govern- 
ing body  for  the  craft,  aud  these  four  lodges  did 
so,  and  —  as  they  a'^^ertod — revived  an  ancient 
organisation  which  by  Up-»e  of  tinte  had  fallea 
into  disuse.  That  this  boily  was  but  a  revival 
for  executive  pui-po'^'s,  and  re-Ohtjiblished  as  a 
point  from  which  regulations,  laws,  and  orders 
should  be  promulgott^'d  for  the  better  nuiaagemeiit 
of  the  craft,  few  will  be  found  having  the  hardi- 
hood to  deny ;  and  thus  it  came  about  in  1717, 
that  a  Grand  Iy:)dge  was  formed  to  control  ex- 
isting lodges,  and  does  not,  by  any  means,  show- 
but  on  the  contrary  actually  bears  \\'iuies8  that 
separate  lodges  were  in  existence  prior  to  this 
amalgamation — that  "the  vrtier  of  Free  and 
Accepted  Masons  only  dates  from  a  meeting,'' ^o. 
"in  1717." 

IIow  long  Freemasonry  had  been  practised  in 
England  before  1717  opinions  are  contiictjng,  but 
for  my  own  part  I  can  produce  unmistakable 
proof — to  those  duly  qualined  to  receive  it — that 
the  father  of  English  poetry,  Gower,  and  hifl 
pupil  Chaucer,  were  both  iCnight  Tetnplar  Free- 
masons. However,  for  my  present  purpose,  I  will 
cite  a  passage  which  will  set  the  assigned  date  of 
the  origin  of  Freemasoury,  according  to  M&. 
PlNKERTON,  wholly  aside.  'Elias  Ashniole,  in  Ilia 
Ditrrt/  (p.  13),  states:  "I  was  made  a  I^Vee- 
mason  at  Warrington,  Ijaucaahiro,  with  Colonel 
Heury  Manwarinjr,  by  Mr.  Richard  Penket,  the 
Warden  and  the  Fellow  Crafts,  on  16  Oct  1640." 
Thus  we  see  that  Mr.Pinkerto»'8  date  of  1717 
is  correct  as  to  the  formation  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  England,  but  totally  incorrect  and  deceplivo  us 
to  the  time  when  the  ''  order  '*  originated. 

Another  of  Mr.  Pinikrtoh's  erroneous  aswr- 
tions  is  that  '*  Hogarth,  as  a  plain  honest  Eog- 
lishman,  hated,  and  lost  no  opportunity  in  exp^iaing, 
the  false  prett-nsiona  of  Freemasons."  This  state- 
ment is  an  entire  assumpiion,  and  is,  pure  and 
simple,  neither  more  nnr  less  than  Me.  Pinkbk- 
TOK  a  "  honest  hatred  *'  of  Ffeemaf*onry  fathered 
on  Hogarth.  Turning  to  actual  facts,  How  stands 
the  matter?  At  the  grand  feast  held  on  April 
17,  1735,  *' William  Hogarth,  painter  "—there  ia 
no  mistake  about  his  identity^was  the  "  twelfth 
Grand  Steward  of  the  year."  At  that  meeting, 
"Sir  Robert  Lumlev,  Maater  of  the  Steward'* 
Lodge,  with  his  Wanleus  imd  nine  more.wiM  ihfir 
new  bndtfM^  appeared  full  twelve  the  first  lime." 
I  have  itaUciaed  the  words  "  with  their  neir 
badges"  because  they  are  connected  with  "  Wil- 
liam Hognrtb,  painter."  That  "  plain  honest  Eng- 
lishman," iustead  of  hating  Freemasonry,  so  loved 
it  that  he  designt'd  a  jewel,  presenting  an  admir- 
able eymbolie  combimition,  to  bo  worn  by  mem- 
ben   of  hia  lodge  as  a  ««t-off  to  '"^thi^  &e«r

At  p.  464,  in  a  reply  professedly  mnde  to  mv 
query  about  "Queen  Klknbelh  and  Freemasonry/' 
Mr.  I'lNXERTOW  commences  with  the  half-apolo- 
jretic  phrase,  "  I  have  Bftid  that  the  Societv  of 
Free  and  Accepted  Masona  was  founded  in  1717." 
This  I  presume  was  necessary,  oa  I  well  reniuinber 
a  former  article  in  *'  N,  &  Q.,"  but  cannot  indicate 
the  reference  at  tbia  moment,  in  which  Mr,  Tix- 
KERTON  made  out  that  yreemasonrv  was oiiginnted 
in  Irel'ind  about  the  middle  of  iLe  last  century 
by  some  Dublin  hnndicraftftman.  Now,  however, 
he  baa  "said"  it  waa  ''founded  in  1717/'  find 
then  goes  on  to  give  the  moat  inexact  and  con- 
fused account  of  the  guild,  the  company,  and 
the  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  I  have  ever  seen. 
Ilia  knowledge  of  the  ftchism  and  ita  healing  by 
the  Lodge  of  Reconciliation,  in  1813,  between  the 
two  factions  of  **  ancient "  nod  ''  modem  "  Free- 
masons is  M>  perfunctory,  and  is  of  ao  little  intyrett 
to  the  reader  of  "N.  &  Q.,"  that  it  h  not  worth 
while  to  attempt  to  set  his  statements  right,  par- 
ticularly as  every  one  who  wishes  to  know  the 
facts  can  find  the  official  papers  reprinted  in  almost 
everr  historj'  of  the  order. 

The  next  good  thing  to  a  fact,  adduoad  and 
verified,  is  to  treat  it  numorouriy,  and  between 
1717  and  1740,  the  joumala  of  the  lime  teem 
with  humorous  facts  in  allusion  to  Freemasonry. 
Mr.  PiNKERToy's  extract  from  the  iJoi'/y  Journal 
of  Dec.  24, 1725,  is  the  reproduction  of  a  very  old 
acquiuutance  of  mine,  and  from  which  I  draw  cer- 
taiu  conclusioDB  which  may  rather  »tArtle  or  amuse 
Mr.  I'lNKBRTOx.  lie  is  so  thoroughgoing  a  mnn 
and  friend  thiit,  thftugli  I  am  in  duty  bound  to 
oppose  his  snti-Masonic  craze,  I  urn  quite  willing 
to  enjoy  with  bim  any  humorous  matter  he  may 
brinff  forward,  and.  if  ho  sees  any  fun  in  it,  to 
provide  further  for  his  enjoyment.  To  this  end  I 
auotcd  specially  the  extract  from  ^VHlimole'a 
xJwry.  J  could  have  given  dozens  of  other  proofs 
as  to  date,  but  this  was  so  ttpropos  to  the  bur- 
lesque advertisement  which  Mr.  I'inkerton  hM 
inserted  that  nothing  else  would  have  served  my 
purpose  half  k)  well.  There  can  be  no  doubt  of 
the  "whimsical  kinsman  of  the  Hod  and  Trowel '' 
being  an  allunion  to  Freemasons  any  more  than 
their  "hnving  (on  new  light  received  from 
acme  worthy  Rosicmcians)  *"  is  a  special  hit  in- 
tended for  Dr.  Kawlinson,  a  most  active  Free- 
maaon,  as  I  have  copies  of  his  own  papers  to  provoj 
but  the  covert  satire  tells  us  something  more. 
Elias  Ashmole  wns  about  the  last  man  in  England 
at  that  time  who  publiuly  clnimed  to  be  a  Hosicni- 
cian.  In  his  day  that  society  culniiaated  in  popu- 
lar disfavour,  and  when  it  had  nearly  died  out, 


the  profane  world,  or  out«ider!9,  began  tobsutfj 
another  mysterious  community — the  Fr««iaiMBlL| 
From  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  toabofot' 
same   period   of    the   eighteenth  centurr,  Pi 
masonry  wns  looked  upon  an  inheriting  some  W^\ 
terious  secrets  of  hidden  science,  and  1  bold— J 
can  demonstrate  fVom  incontrovertible  writii 
that  Eliao  Ashmolo  was  one  of  the  primary 
hers  whose  nppearnnce  in  the  craft  gave  fomw 
to  the  popular  belief.    Leaving  tiiis  to  tell  its* 
tale  for  Mr.  FniKERTON*s  informaticui  or  anc 
meat,  in  whichever  form  he  pleases,  I 
proceed  to  address  myself  aeriously  to  aa 
lion  which  my  valued  friend,  I  am  aure, 
sorry  be  made,  as  it  may  give  pain  and 
many  brethren  of  the  present  timp,  wbo,  I 
doubt.  Mu.  Pibkertox  must  believe  to  be  b< 
gentlemen  and  worthy  members  of  aociet^r. 
Mr.  Pi>'ickrton  states  that — 

"  the  Accepted  were  very  unfortunate  in  the  sdt 
tlioir  supfnor  ofKctra,  but  tlie  truth  mn.*l  iu  all

fVeomaaonr}',  and  I  am  vain  enough  to  hope  tho 
n>marks  made  in  this  paper  uiny  tend  to  strengthen 
that  '•  regret" 

Trembliu;?  with  dire  forebodings  on  Dec.  18, 
\m\\  I  nervouj^ly  cut  tho  pages  of  "  X.  &  Q."— 
which  the  publisher  bo  pertinsicioufly  persists  in 
folding  most  execrably,  notwithstanding  my  nu- 
merous complaints — and  found  Mb.  Pisxekton 
had  changed  bis  theme  from  Queen  Elizabeth  to 
"The  Stuarte  and  Freemasonry ''  (p.  530).  Tho 
signing  of  a  warrant  for  a  lodge  at  Derby  by 
Prince  Charles  Edward  was,  in  my  opinion,  a 
very  probable  fact.  Not  having  seen  the  docu- 
ment, I  cannot  take  upon  myself  whether  it  was 
BO  signed  or  not;  yet  I  presume  Mk.  Sleigh  has 
good  grounds  for  his  assertion,  and  it  does  seem 
very  unlikely  thnt  any  gentleman  would  attempt 
to  tamper  with  the  readers  of  **  N.  &  Q."  in  sub- 
uiittiug  an  untrue  statement  to  their  notice.  For 
these  reasons  1  believe  the  warrant  to  be  genuine. 
But  beyond  tbia  there  are  other  reaAonff  which 
bear  most  strongly  on  ita  likelihood.  One  of  the 
theories  on  the  origin  of  Freemasonry  is  that  it 
was  instituted  by  Oliver  Cromwell  and  copied  by 
the  adherents  of  the  Stuarta,  who  represented  the 
*'  silly "  legend  as  applicable  to  that  royal  and 
blessed  msrtvr  for  the  Church  of  England,  King 
Charles  I.  f  need  not  say  I  do  not  coincide  with 
this  theory  one  whit  more  cordially  than  I  do  in 
Mr.  Plskebton's  1717  date..  But  1  do  alUch  a 
minor  importance  to  it,  because  it  shows  how  anx- 
ious political  partisans  were  to  win  Freemasonry, 
wbjcn  was  in  those  days,  not  like  our  present  de- 
generate times  when  tlie  craft  exercises  no  influ- 
ence in  tho  atVairs  of  state,  a  mighty  power  in  the 
land.  From  the  acceasion  of  the  Louse  of  Han- 
over, Freemasonry  had  olwava  been  ita  warm  sup- 
porter, and  I  can  very  well  understand  the  m- 
viters  of  Prince  Charles  Edward  counselling  him 
to  assume,  by  the  divine  right  ho  claimed,  the 
Grand  Mastership  of  an  order  which  would  have 
brought  true  nnd  trusty  adherents  around  hira. 
Therefore,  as  an  act  of  policy,  I  think  the  pro- 
babilitv  of  bis  having  issued  such  a  warrant  i» 
rather  increased  than  diminished,  seeing  be  was 
at  the  head  of  a  hostile  force  in  a  country  where 
his  lirst  business,  if  he  desired  succeaa,  was  to 
attach  as  many  as  possible  to  his  person  and  cause. 
That  Prince  Charles  Edwnnl  was  made  Grand 
Master  of  the  order  of  the  Temple,  at  llolyrood, 
in  1745,  is  an  undoubted  fact,  testifi«d  in  a  work- 
not  written  by  a  Freemason,  and  from  which  I 
took  it  when  editing  the  department  of  "  Masonic 
Notes  and  Queries  in  Tne  Freeviason^a  Maffa- 
zinc  for  the  years  1^58  to  1^07  :  but  unfortunately

Mr.  l^TKVERTOW  BAaiitDM  too  miich  when  be 
Bup|KiBv8  ibht  because  Clcmont  Xll.'s  btiU  cx- 
oomroimicated  Frt.'Ciii)ieKiD.i.  no  persons  of  the  Ro- 
misK  ftiiih  etitured  the  order  afterwAnitt.  I  will 
give  him  the  imme^  L>f  but  two  such  for  brevity's 
sake,  both  wi>U- known  uu-a  nndduvout  adhercmts 
to  their  church.  Mozart,  one  of  the  ^rsHtest 
muMcians  that  evfr  lived — a  prolific  composer  of 
muses  and  mott^tt^,  to  .«&¥  nothing  of  thnt  incom- 
parablo  "  rcquifin  "  whiuo  none  but  a  disciple  of 
the  friith  could  pen — wa«  an  ardent  Frceinnaon, 
wrote  miiMC  for  his  lodjre  ceremotjies,  some  of 
which  MfB  before  me  at  this  moment;  and,  that 
Mb.  PtNEKRTON  may  have  proof  of  what  I  state, 
I  shall  refer  him  to  W.  H.  Holmes's  Li/r^Hotati. 
Daniel  O'Connell.  M.P.,  the  a^tator — I  use  the 
term  as  one  of  idnniity,  that  it  may  not  bo  s&id 
I  mislead — was  a  Freeraaeou,  had  been  innsber  of 
his  lodge,  and  declared  h'la  severance  from  the 
craft  some  yeard  before  his  death  on  account  of  an 
•nathpmft  proiuulgated  against  us  by  a  Koman 
Cdthclic  biahop.  These  two  instances  entirely 
diflpoee  of  Mr.  Potkbrtok's  objection  that,  be- 
0tUM  a  bull  had  be** n  ivucd  against  Freeniasi'nry, 
it  would  be  abaurd  to  suppose  any  Roman  ChIHo- 
lic  would  be  a  member.  I  say  nothing  of  those 
brethren  of  that  communion  I  pereoDally  know 
■mong&t  us  at  this  time. 

As  to  the  ChevalitT  Kanijmv.  Mr.  Pinkerton 
la  entirely  at  fault.  He  and  I'^tJnt^lon,  Itishop  of 
CAmbnty»  were  both  niembera  of  the  same  lodge. 
Before  ibis,  in  1728,  he  proposed  to  the  Gmnd 
Lodge  of  Englund  a  reform  in  its  cerenioniul,  and 
SQggeated  the  sulislitution  of  a  system  whirh 
afterwards  bfcnme  world-renowned  as  the  Rate  of 
he  Council  of  i'lennont.  In  1740  he  delivered  a 
discourse  in  Paris,  in  which  he  set  forth  the  true 
and  knijfhtly  theory  of  FreemR.«onry  ;  and,  di-eply 
attached  aa  he  was  to  the  Stuarts,  he  aclually 
composed  n  degree — in  use  at  the  present  day  nil 
over  the  world— commemorative  of  the  misfor- 
tunes of  that  royal  line. 

Mu.  i'i>K.KRroN'a  next  assertion  is  of  anch  a 
•weeping  character  that  its  very  vebemenco  must 
have  proved  its  antidote  to  some  miud.^.  Lest. 
however,  it  should  be  said  he  caunot  be  answered, 
I  will  transcribe  the  passage.     He  says :  — 

"Woll  kjiowin^,  that  (luring  the  ftpsce  «f  IfiO  vears 
shice  MaMiiry  bas  been  MUhllihed,  thrre  has  not'bron 
one  mso  amuncr^  tl:em  who  bai»  distinguubed  bimsoif  in 
e&tbv  Hcicuce,  liUrMlure,  ur  srt;" — 

I  feol  bound  to  say  that  the  statement  is  not  only 
raejadiced  hut  incorrect.  Was  Frederick  the 
Qient  nobody  ?  See  Carlyle's  Life.  Even  he  who 
boasted  o(  "  bhalteriniz  Freemasoniy  *'  chronides 
the  edmisMion  of  Frederick  to  the  order.  Was 
Robert  Burns  a  poet  ?  See  bis  exquisite  song  to 
the  bretbrnn  of  his  lodge,  "  Adieu,  a  warm  heart,

to  leave  his  oatire  country.     Was  Ooelhe  un-

arrive  from  Hong  Kong,  it  was  replied  to  by  tho 
iJ.P.G  M.  of  Briti.'*h  Marjory  lu  China,  who 
proved,  a**  it  mi^ht  be  supposed  by  any  ratiooal 
nun,  that  tlie  Triad  society  had  nothing  to  do 
with  Masonrir*,  ns  it  was  "entirely  political  in 
origin  and  otl'enmve  iu  character,''  while  Mii-soory 
Wild,  of  conree,  "purely  sociable,  charitnhle,  and 
innocuous.  As  to  the  word  revolution,"  continues 
our  D.P.G.M.t  "  it  is  sufficient  to  remark  that  the 
Ma:iionic  gy^tum  strictly  prohibits  the  disturbiince 
of  the  pea<L-u  aiid  cood  order  of  dociety.' 

In  Id4i4  the  Marquis  of  Donegal!  was  at  the 
town  of  Belfast;    as  be   was  Provincial  Grand 
Master  of  the  district,  the  Freemasons  there  gave 
him  a  grand  dinner.     After  dinner,  the  Marquis — 
who  was,  I  behnve,  in  the  chair — made  a  a 
inipugnin;^:   the    wcU-lmown    incapacity 
magistrates  for  allowing  the  Ik'Ifast  riotd  of  that 
rear  to  proceed  to  such  a  fatal  lougth.     Ub  waa 
immediately  cried  down  bv  a  storm  of  groans  and 
hisses  from  bis  brethren  aittang  round  the  table : 
and  I  was  subsequently  informed  thnt  the  Mo^^ 
quis  wa^  severely  rebuked  by  the  Grand  Mas 
of  Ireland  for  presuming  to  introduce  a  subj 
ever  so  distantly  relating  to  politi<te  at  a  Maao: 
meeting.     I  am  sure  that  I  could  easily  give 
Cr.AiiKK  a  hundred  such  instances  of  the  Fi 
nia^kms'    utter  disinclination   to  discuss  politicaL 
subjects,  whicli,  if  it  did  not  go  the  whole  (Ua- 
tance,  would  go  far  to  prove  that  the  Jacobites 
and  Freemasons  never  were  connected. 

With  respect  to  Mil  Y\bkeii,  he  condeacenda 
to  abuse  me :  of  that  I  feel  proud.     I  am  not 
Roman  Catholic  ;  they  are  well  able  to  take 
<)f  themselTes,  and  no  doubt  will  wvll  cbas 
Ma.  YABJieR  for  the  calumny  he  has  dared 
insinuate  respecting  their  preluies.     I  will  leava 
the  crux  of  the  Lord  Athol  {sic)  to  further  puzale 
him :  surely,  as  he  knows  so  mHuy  great  secre 
he  cannot  want  information  on  that  point ;  and. 
will  refer  to  a  subjuct  that  all  may  comprehend. 

How  dare  he  to  .'peali,  iit''N.  &Q."  of  auOrd 
of  Fropmasons  r     It  is  no  order.     Orders  Mili 
are  companiea  of  knights  instituted  by  kinga 
princes.    Orders  Religious  aro  tiociuties  of  monoa^ 
tic8,  founit^'d  by  the  Pope.     There  are  even  orders 
Religious   MiUfary,   privileged,  by    the   Pope   to 
say  nia.«s  and  prohibited  from  marriage  like  the 
Knixbta  of  the  Temple ;  but  Freemasons  are  none 
of  these.     In   1751,  when  the  FreiMunsons  peti- 
tioned Parliament  for  a  charter  of  incorporation, 
it  was  merely  as  a  S':>ci6ly,  but  their  petition  waft 
mo:4t  coutemptuou:^ly  refused.     In  the  Act  of  39'

tual aupproasioD  of  Societies  established  for  Sedi-

they  are  merely  ti^rmed  "certiiiu  socieii^s  undot

and  conacmiontly  assemblioa  of  FreemRSons  are 
ille^l  to  tuia  diiy. 

But  Mr.  Yarkbr  sheltors  himself  undor  the 
assumed  secrete  of  Freeniosoory:  I  say  there  are 
no  secrets  whatever  belonging  to  it.  The  legend 
upon  which  the  degre*  of  mtwter  mnsonry  was 
founded,  the  murder  of  Iliram  ia  the  Templo  of 
Jerusalem,  was  told  by  Sam.  l*ricliard,  id  his 
MoiOftry  Dissected^  in  17^0.  It  was  aUo  pviblished 
in  the  Dai/t/  Journal  of  August  16,  17:iO,  and 
mftny  of  tlie  precodiujr  and  foUnwinpr  numbers. 
In  Toltimo  viii.  of  the  Gentleman's  Magazine  it 
will  alsio  be  found  ;  and  beaide;)  the  many  editions 
of  Prichard*3  wcirk  siucc  publitthed,  there  hare 
been  counileas  editions  of  works  Buch  &a  Jachin 
and  Boaz,  Three  Didinri  KnocJiXy  Solomon  in  all 
Af>  Ohrtj,  all  telling  the  same  stupid  tide ;  while 
in  America  the  works  of  .VUyn,  Bernard,  Morgan, 
And  others  disclose  to  all  tlie  world  the  mum- 
meries of  Freemasonry. 

Clftvel  in  his  Hitloire  Pittore^fjue  dc  la  Franc^ 
Ma^nnme,  published  at  Paris  in  lHi3,  telln  us  the 
aame  storj*,  with  this  slight  diflerence.  In  the 
English  lodges,  at  the  malting  of  a  niaster-niason, 
the  three  murderers  of  Hiram — Jiibela,  Jubelo, 
and  Jubelum — are  heard  groaning  and  bmentini; 
that  ever  they  were  born.  The  Froncli,  witn 
more  taste,  do  not  introduce  these  ruffians,  hut 
instead  a  Fkkhe  TKHiniUiE,  who  thcv  say  is 
TyphoD,  the  wicked  brother  of  Oairis.  ^or  pub- 
lishing this  work  the  (irand  Orient  complained 
that  Clave]  had  divulged  the  ceremonials  of  th? 
society.  CUvel  replied  that  it  was  a  special 
matter  of  surprise  to  him,  that  the  society  should 
object  to  the  spreading  of  light  everjrwhere,  and 
that  they  should  strive  to  repress  freedom  of 
thought  by  interdicting  his  book;  he  disavowed 
the  competency  of  the  Grand  Orient  to  pass  a 
TOte  of  censure  on  him,  and  he  justified  hia  pro- 
eeodings  in  a  public  a]>pea1  to  all  Masons  pos- 
aeased  of  understand  in  •?  and  feeling. 

Moreover,  there  is  the  great  uncontradictable 
fact  that  in  America  during  the  nntt-Masonic 
excitement,  whiL-h  lasted  there  from  1820  to  1835, 
aome  thousands  of  Freemasons  left  the  society, 
after  publidy  disclosing  all  they  knew  about  it. 
At  all  the  principal  cities  in  the  United  States 
were  held  aoti-Masonic  conventions,  and  the 
published  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the  conven- 
tion at  Philadelphia,  held  in  1830,  is  before  me 
a.<)  I  write.  Evpry  degree,  every  rule  of  Free- 
ma.9onry  was  disclost-d  at  it  to  all  tlin  world. 
They  reported  on  the  obligation  of  Masonic  oatlis, 
the  pretensions  of  ilnaonry,  the  early  history  of 
Masonry,  and  the  seceding  Maaonagave  n  summury 
of  the  society,  which  concluded  in  the  following 
words : — 

**  By  this  nummary  of  the  society,  we  wi-tli  t«  re^fue 
oChora  fWim  the  saaitj  t Ute  into  which  wo  iiieon*iid«mtely

reiteratcil  in  rolames,  and  supported  by  trmt  lutaik 
Our  names  ari!  yet  our  otrn,  onil  we  herewith  erase  Lbea 
from  the  roll  of  Fre«ma50iiry.'' 

The  honc-^t  republicans  who  signed  this  no- 
mary,  glorv  in  such  titles  as  Prince^^.  Elects,  Per- 
fects, and  Sublimes,  and  well  show  that  thor»Lwa 
why  Masonry  hafi  such  charms  for  vulgar  minds  ii 
the  extravfigance  of  its  titles.  Some  years  ago,  I 
saw  at  Paris  u  litst  of  a  French  lodge  formerly  held 
there.  Thev  styled  themselvea  the  CotmcU  of 
Emperors  of  the  I-M'il  and  Wettt  Sf/rere**m  I^ri/Kft 
Ft'ecmatioHS ;  and  almost  the  very  fii^t  Dam«S  oa 
tlie  list  Wert)  Lacorme,  maUrt  de  dtws^t  and  Vv^ 
tuilleur  dr.  hidnt$. 

The  seceding  Masons  went  farther;  they  «e- 
tually,  in  some  States,  prevented  the  Freem'iMom 
fnim  walking  in  procession  as  was  their  wont 
And  in  all  the  l.ir^e  towns  of  tho  Uni'^o  thcj 
gave*  public  exhibitions  of  Frccmosouiy,  at  tilt 
price  of  twouty-hve  cents,  or  one  shilling.  I  «w 
one  of  these  performances  at  lioston  in  182S,  lod 
I  never  laughed  so  much  in  my  life.  They  h*lii 
a  lodge,  initiated  a  follow  apprentice,  pa--  *  '  ' 
to  be  a  fellow  craftsman,  and  raised  h^ 
sublime  degree  of  a  master  mason.  TIk n  i^" 
curtain  fell  for  about  ton  minutes,  and,  on  iU 
rising  again,  a  chapter  of  Royal  Arch  MasonivU 
displayed.  The  spectators  then  saw  the  destme- 
tion  of  Jerusalem,  the  living  arch,  the  descent 
into  the  cave,  and  the  discovery  of  the  ark  of  lii« 
covenant.  Another  time  the  curtain  fell,  and 
again  rose  on  an  encampment  of  Knight  Teio* 
plars.  There  we  saw  the  agpirnut  In  the  chambei 
of  ivllection,  then  we  saw  him  aettinc  out  on  hii 
pilgrimage;  we  saw  also  the  akull  of  Siaioo 
Magus,  the  blasphemous  parodv  on  the  Hd) 
Sacrament,  always  peifonued  iu  Knight  Tomplaff' 
encampments,  mid  at  last  tho  novice  wa^ 
a  valiant  and  magnanimous  knight.  A

sonalities,! send  you  tho  lost  remarks  that  I  have 
to  make  upon  the  subject. 

As  "Adopted  or  Accepted  Masonry"  in  Eng- 
land was,  prior  to  1717,  a  very  tiime  aaaociation, 
HO  we  are  also  asaui-ed  by  Aubrey  that  in  1*301, 
their  adoption  is  very  fornmll,  and  with  the  ad- 
ministration of  an  (^ath  of  Secrecy/'  ♦  therefore 
wo  know  but  little,  except  by  comparistm,  as  to 
its  nature  and  object.  It  is  quite  certain  that 
the  English  Masona  have  no  documents  or  minntea 
nf  lodges,  such  as  they  have  in  Scotland,  to  con- 
nect them  about  this  time  with  the  operative 
Guilds  of  Stonemasons,  though  Aubrey  a,sserted 
their  derivation  from  the  latter*  ;  the  absence 
of  such  documentary  evidence  being  a  proof,  to 
my  mind,  that  the'  association  had  changed  its 
ch'arftcter,  which  is  still  further  confirmed  by  the 
following  regulations  nf  A.n.  1(J6;3,  tho  italics

Mr.  Thomas  Wise,  Mastfr  of  the  Mav)QS  Company  this 
present  year,  Mr.  Ttios.  Shorthose,  Mr.  Thomas  Sbadbolt 

Waidsfford,  Kvi,   Mr.   Nicholas  Youn^,  Mr.  John 

Sfaorthoee,  Mr.  Wm.  Uamar,  Mr.  John  ThomjMon,  and 
Mr.  Wm.  Stanton.  We  all  dined  at  the  Half  Moon 
Tavern  in  Cheapside,  at  a  Noble  dinner  prepared  at  the 
Charge  of  the  New  Accepted  Masons." 

The  certificates  and  traditions  of  Masonry  allege 
that  in  1686  a  reriTal,  revision,  and  addition  to 
the  higher  degrees  took  place.  May  18,  1691, 
we  are  informed  by  Aubrey,  that  Sir  Christopher 
Wren  was  adopted  a  Brother  at  St  Paurs,  "  and 
Sir  Henry  Gooderic  of  the  Tower,  and  divera 
others.'' 

Sir  Richard  Steele  has  an  article  in  The  TaUer 
upon  a  class  of  men  called  Pretty  Fellows,  No.  26 
for  Thursday,  June  9, 1709,  in  which  appears  the 
following  poast^^ :  — 

"Yoa  see  them  accost  each  other  with  eifeminsto 
airs ;  thty  have  their  »ipna  and  token»  like  Freemaaotu ; 
they  rail  at  womankind,"  &c. 

To  this  Mr.  Matthew  Coohe,  30^,  adds  in  the 
Freemason's  Magazine  — 

■*  Sir  Richard  Steele  was  a  Frcemoaon  of  the  York  ritef 
or  Ancient  Masons.  In  a  li^t  of  the  anciout  l-xlge^  in- 
serted in  Picurt's  Ceremtmiea  et  Cuttumea  reliyietuetfie  tnua 
lapeuplesdu  mtmde  ^7  vols,  folio.  Amsterdam.  17*23-37), 
Sir  Richard  Steele's  portrait  is  given  at  the  bead  of  the 
sheet  depicting  the  names  and  places  of  the  Ancient 
Masons'  iudgingn  and  meetings." 

One  word  on  a  subject  upon  which  Mr.  BucgulX 
is  indiscreet  enough  to  call  upon  me  for  proofs. 
In  the  British  Museum  arc  preserved  the  signs  of 
the  old  Euglish  Operative  Masons.  These  have 
nothing  in  common  with  those  now  used,  or 
which  could  answer  the  description  of  Sir  Richard 
Steele, — tlie  very  words  that  would  be  used  at  Mk. 
BuchakV  own  reception.  Even  Mr.  Bvchak's 
pet  proteges,  Anderson  and  DtisaguHer?,  were  not 
Operative  Masons,  and  yet  admitted  prior  to  1717. 

Though  1  am  unaware  what  reliance  may  be 
placed  upon  the  following,  which  1  Und  (in  reply 
to  one  01  Mr.  Bcchan's  tedious  weekly  ipse  dkiit 
assertions)  in  the  pages  of  the  "  Freemasou  "  for 
January  22,  1$70,  signed  by  Horace  Swete,  M.D., 
yet  it  is  so  much  in  accordance  with  what  1 
should  expect,  that  I  have  little  doubt  as  to  the 
genuineness  of  the  article. 

**Aa  a  refutation  of  this  statement  I  have  now  on  mv 
table  a  tobacfw>-br>x  of  evident  antique  manufacture,  and 
engraving,  dtded  lC7o,  on  the  lid  of  which  in  engraved 
the  Masonic  workin;:  tools  cf  the  three  deg^ee^  the  jewels 
of  the  Lod^e,  and  many  other  Maaonic  devices,  being 
nearly  a  copy  of  the  tricinf?  boards  of  the  three  degrees, 
with  other  ititfm  I,  as  a  Craft  Master  Miison,  cannot  read, 
but  which  a  brother  who  is  Mark  Matter  and  Roval  Arch 
Hason,  eawily  understands.  This  design  is  certainly  not 
that  of  a  merely  operative  body,  but  involves  the  know- 
ledge of  muclt  deep  speculative  thought  in  our  Masonic 
My4teries." 

After  fifteen  years'  study  of  the  Rosicrucian 


workt*  and  the  various  degrees  of  English  Hanmr, 
I  state  my  belief  unhesitatingly  that  the  "  Adopted 
Masons'  existing  in  1601  held  Roncmcisn 
opinions,  and  that  the  "Free  and  Accepted 
Masons ''  of  1717  were  a  reformed  branch  of  the 
"  Adopted  Masons,"  and  so  far  I  am  in  entire  accori 
with  your  learned  correspondent  Mr.  PiKirarnn. 
A  very  superficial  acquamtance  with  the  wortoof 
the  Rosicrucians  ana  Freemasons  is  suffidoit  ts 
show  the  resemblance.  One  of  two  things  seem 
clear  from  the  before-mentioned  regulatioiM  of 
160.) — either  the  pure  operative  guild  of  Masomr 
had  then  ceased,  and  attempts  were  made  to  brin^ 
the  association  into  hanuony,  or  it  ceased  firom  thtf 
time  by  the  enactment  that  for  the  future  only 
one  or  at  most  two  operatives  were  necessary  iai 
lodge  of  five  members  or  upwards.  Of  these  two 
views  the  former  seems  most  probable  in  the  li^ 
sence  of  documents,  or  the  law  would  haTe  \om 
worded  to  abolish  in  place  of  enforctHg  a  restrietiai 
astothepresencoofsomanyoperatives.  Th^fdkf 
of  Scottish  MasfjDS  seems  to  be  to  persoade  m 
ignorant  that  they  are  the  only  legal  depoaitviet 
of  Maaonry  in  every  degree,  and  last  centuiy  dH 
sorts  of  romantic  fictions  were  propAffated;  W 
when  searchers  after  truth  began  to  puoliflih  tMr 
lodgo  minutes,  it  became  evident  that  whSIrt 
souie  lodges  included  a  much  larger  speculitne 
element  thun  others,  yet  that  the  modem  systas 
of  1717  was  introduced  by  English  Masons  ii 
1721 ;  the  old  lodges  being  operative  benefit  i^ 
sociations,  without  the  power  of  aclf-govemmirt 
as  in  England — that,  having  been  surrendered  to 
an  Hereditanj  Grand  Ma<«ter.  The  Engliik 
lodges,  it  is  stated,  were  used  as  schoola  of  acieaee 
during  the  roign  of  the  Stuarts. 

The  mere  denials  of  Mr.  Buchan  arenot  of  tkift 
weight  to  counterbalance  the  universal  teetdaflBJ 
nf  English  Masonic  traditions,  supported  by  m 
writings  of  James  Anderson  and  otners.  He  Oft- 
not  certainly  be  considered  an  infallible  antli^ 
rity  in  an  order  which  has  many  rites  and  degiett 
of  Vhioh  be  is  not  a  member,  nor,  in  my  opimoii 
is  he  an  authority  in  the  degrees  of  which  ne  iift 
member.  Although,  in  common  with  other  UtH 
rary  men,  1  am  equally  liable  to  make  mistate 
vet  so  far  as  I  am  aware,  none  of  mine  have  jct 
been  shown.  If  Mr.  Buchan  will  point  the 
same  out  to  me,  I  shall  be  grateful  to  him,  and  «■ 
Ais  shoxciufj  proper  grounds  for  his  correctinn,  dfr- 
lighted  to  make  the  same.  By  inquiring  in  tKe 
proper  Masonic  quarters  he  will  find  the  Stolit 
evidence  of  which  be  is  in  search.  Your  leaiotd 
correspondent  Mr.  Pinkbrtox  is  evidently  nnd 
miHapprehensinn  as  to  the  absence  abroad  of  Ltfd 
Atholl  in  1746,  through  my  unng  the  title  rf 
Ihike.  That  nobleman  waa  rightful  heir  to  fte 
old  earldom  and  recent  dukedom  of  Athol;  l>t

tawij  MiJBtcr  and  heir  of  Otbo  Fitz 


Tbontna,  was  the  Mcoud  wife  of  John  Lord 
IJotelourt, 
I  It  is  true  that  Dugdole  and  Blore  {Jli4.  of 
I  Rulhndf  p.  300)  do  not  mentiiin  any  fnnuwr  wife 
I  of  this  baron ;  but  he  wiia  a  norrw  homo  with  no 
lands  of  his  own,  and  nothing  whutever  is  known. 
I  about  bim  before  bis  inarriitge  with  Maud.  She 
wjirt  one  of  the  co-heirs  of  tho  bnrony  of  Bedford, 
and  it  was  in  ber  right  that  h©  po-^essed  all  the 
DiAonrs  which  are  enumorated  in  hia  Tnq.  p.  m, 
(E/tih.  18  Edw.  II.  66.)  It  was  found,  on  hii 
death  in  13:24,  that  his  next  heir  was  hie  grand* 
son  John,  the  eon  of  his  eldest  son  Thomas,  who 
had  died  before  him ;  but  it  appearf*,  from  a  care* 
fal  examination  of  the  EscheaU^  tbat  neither  Joha 
nor  bifi  heirs  inherited  any  of  the  manors  of  which 
the  baron  died  seised,  and  tbat  the  whole  c^ 
Mnud'n  inheritance  descended  to  the  younger 
sons  John  and  Otho,  and  to  their  meter  Elizabeth 
Latimer,  to  the  utter  exclusion  of  the  heirs  of 
Thnmas.  It  ia  therefore  dilBruIt  to  resist  the 
cnncluaion  that  Tbomaa,  the  oldest  son  of  John 
Lord  Botetourt,  waa  his  son  by  a  former  wife, 
and  was  not  the  son  of  Maud.  (Cf.  Esth, 
18  Edw.  II.  06;  Bich.  9  Edw.  HL  61;  £«•*. 
13  Edw.  IIL  39;  EkK  10  Edw.  111.  9;  Etck. 
a  Rich.  II.  4.) 

5.  Tbat  Elizabeth,  mother  of  Lady  Oxford,  and 
hor  sister  Alit-e  Willoughby,  were  the  daughters 
of  Lord  Botetourt  and  Maud. 

This  itatement  was  expreasly  tftken  from  Collect* 
Top.  i4  Ont.  (v.  156),  that  ia,  fmm  Townsnnd's 
corrt'ctjons  of  Dugdale  edited  and  annotated  hj 
Sir  Charles  Young.  I  have  not  the  book  at  hand, 
but  give  fn^m  memory  the  subtitance  of  the  arga- 
ment :  *'  Lady  Oxforcl  ia  called  the  daughter  of 
Ralph  do  Ufford — she  could  not  have  been  lu« 
daughter  by  Maud  Plontagenet,  for  the  reoaoOA 
1  bare  already  stated;  but  Dugdale,  in  hia  ac- 
count of  the  Earls  of  Lanca-^ter  (i.  783),  varie« 
his  description  of  her  father,  for  he  eaya  that 
the  second  husband  of  Maud  Plantarenet  was 
*  Ralph,  sou  and  heir  to  Ihe  Earl  of  Suffolk.' 
Now  Ralph  de  Ufford  was  not  the  son,  but  the 
brother  of  the  Earl  of  Suflulk.  The  earl,  how- 
ever, had  an  eldest  son  Robert,  called  Robert  de 
Ufford  le  Fila,  who,  in  1337,  married  without 
the  king'a  license  Elizabeth,  widow  of  William 
Lord  l^timer;  and  she  was  party  to  a  deed, 
quoted  by  filover  and  dated  in  1-j'JO,  nineteen 
years  after  Ralph  de  Ufford  had  died,  leaving 
Maud  of  Lancaster  bis  widow.  It  may  safely 
therefore  be  assumed  that  Ralph  was  written  in 
mistake  for  lioheH,  and  that  Lady  Oxfird  wa* 
the  daughter  of  Rohert  de  Ufford  le  Fila  and 
Elizabeth  Latimpr.  Now  we  know  that  Elizabeth 
Latimer  was  tht*  dnughtw-  of  John  Ix»rd  Hot»;toitft 
and  Mnnd,  for  she  brought  to  ber  husband  all  tl» 
Redfordahiro  manors  of  Maud'a  inhoritance  (cL 
Etch.  18  Edw.  IL  56,  and  Esch.  9  Edw.  lU.  51); 


e 


N 


^ 


therefore,  her  sister  Alice  Willoughby  must  have 
been  another  daughter  of  Lord  Botetourt  and 
Maud." 

I  v/M  not  spectuUy  employed  on  any  of  the 
pedigrees  it  ooncema  when  I  rend  this  inge- 
nious correction;  hut  the  reasoning  seenied  to  be 
sound,  nnd  to  he  strengthened  by  the  fact  thnt 
the  date  of  Robert  Uiford's  marriage,  in  ^3.17,  i» 
just  -what  one  wotdd  hare  expected  Tor  the  pnrenta 
of  I^dy  Oxford,  who  wha  hentelf  innrried  in  1350 
or  ju«t  before  (cf.  E^ch.  34  Edw.  III.  84).  ()n 
reflection,  however,  1  see  two  insuperablo  objec- 
tions to  this  theory : — 1.  If  Lady  Oxford  had  been 
the  daughter  of  ^lUznbcth  Latimer  by  Itobert  de 
Lflbrd,  her  heir  ex  parte  maiennff  in  1413,  would 
have  been  not  the  ^and^on  of  her  mother'  aister, 
but  either  John  ^eTiU  Lord  Ijatiraer,  the  lineal 
descendant  of  her  mother's  first  marriage,  or  (if 
we  exclude  the  half-bloodj  Joan  Lady  Swyn- 
borne,  who  wa^  then  in  the  actual  possession  of 
the  K»sex  estates  of  the  Ikttelourts,  as  the  heir  of 
John  Botetourt,  eldest  brother  of  the  whole  blood 
of  the  eaid  Elizabeth.  2.  If  Lady  Oxford  was 
the  daughter  of  John  Lord  liotctourt,  her  aifitor 
Alice  must  have  been  another  daughter  of  his; 
and  must,  therefore,  have  been  bom  at  the  very 
latest  in  1324,  when  her  father  dit^d,  and  her 
mother  was  above  tiftv-two  years  of  age.  (Cf. 
I^ch,  23  Edw.  I.  135,  iud  30  "Edw.  1.  3«.)  This 
■would  make  Alice  above  twenty-five  years  older 
than  her  husband  llobert  WUlouf^hby,  who  wag 
born  about  134i);  and  it  is  incredible  that,  in  that 
sge  of  wardships,  the  hair  of  Willoughby  would 
haye  married  at  eighteen  a  woman  of  forty-three 
with  no  extraordinary  claims  to  rank  or  wealth. 
Besides,  we  k-now  that  Robert  Willoughby 'stbird 
wife  ElisEftbeth  was  the  greAt-granddaughter  of  John 
de  Botetourt  and  Maud ;  and  it  is  ino$t  improb- 
able that  one  of  hifl  wives  should  be  the  daughter, 
and  another  should  be  the  great-granddaughter  of 
the  same  persons. 

These  objections  seem  to  me  to  be  fatal  to  the 
theory  put  forward  in  the  Colkctmuti^  and  I  have 
read  no  other  which  can  bo  even  plausibly  main- 
tained. I  am  driven  therefore  to  the  conduaion, 
that  tlio  filiation  of  Maud  Countess  of  Uxfard, 
and  the  parentage  of  her  aunt  Alice  Willoughby^ 
are  genealogical  problems  which  have  still  to  be 
aolved.  Tewars. 

P.S.  I  have  just  read  II.  S.  G.'s  note,  and 
hasten  to  add  a  few  remarks  on  it  by  way  of  post- 
ecript.  I  had  not  overlooked  thai  it  has  been 
assumed  by  Banlcs,  and  roundly  asserted  in  the 
Tt>pitgraphrr  and  Gcnntlogiai  (ii.  271).  that  the 
jury  on  the  inquest  of  Lady  Oxfora  were  all 
wrong  in  finding  that  Robert  NVilloughby  woa  the 
heir  of  the  countess  through  his  grandmother 
Alice,  the  sistor  of  her  mother;  and  that  "  their 
finding  ought  to  have  been,"  that  he  was  her 


heir  through  his  great-grandmother  Cecily,  th« 
niece  of  the  supposed  father  of  the  coimt«n. 
Now  it  is,  of  course,  possible  that  the  finding  on 
ttiis  or  any  other  iuquest  was  wrong,  but  it  ii 
obviously  unreasonable  to  set  aside  the  c-xprMC 
statement  of  a  legal  record  except  upon  tb« 
clearest  eyidcnce :  whereas  in  this  case  the  ooly 
OToiind  that  I  can  see  for  iuipugning  the  rtcord 
IS,  that  our  knowledge  of  the  surroundinjr  facts 
is  too  imperfect  for  us  to  be  able  to  expLua  all 
the  conclusions  deduced  from  it.  Beaides,  thv 
corrected  finding  which  these  gvutlemen  are  oUii^ 
ing  enough  to  supply  for  the  jury  opens  up  a  new 
dilUculty:  for  we  know  that  Cecily  Willoughbr 
was  one  of  thfee  sisters  and  co-heirs,  who  all 
left  issue ;  if  therefore  the  relationship  was  traced 
through  her,  Robert  Willoughby  could  not  po«- 
sibly  haye  been  the  heir  of  the  countes?,  for  tbs 
descendants  of  Cecily's  two  sisters  would  hare 
been  found  co-heirs  with  hlni.  It  therefore  peemtui 
unnecessarj*  to  notice  an  as^sumption  which  is  sup- 
ported by  no  evidence,  and  which  only  subatituiei 
one  difiiculty  for  another. 

U.  S.  G,  corrects  my  remark,  that  Hizabtth 
and  Alice  were  co-heirs':  and  it  is  probably  true.!* 
1  have  shown  in  my  note,  that  they  were  neituT 
the  daughters  nor  the  co-heirs  of  John  Lord  Bo» 
tetx)urt ;  but  it  seems  evident  from  the  /if.  /i.  >■- 
of  1413,  that  they  were  (at  all  evenU,  in  ibdj 
issue)  the  co-heirs  of  their  father,  whoever  he  nuy 
have  been.  Their  father,  however,  could  Mautdy 
have  been  Sir  William  Skipwith,  the  Chief  Ilarno, 
as  H.  S.  G.  hod  adopted  from  CoUiaa :  for  ths 
heir  of  Lady  Oxford  would  hare  been  found  ia 
the  heir  of  'the  Chief  Baron's  eldest  son,  if  Ut 
mother  hod  been  his  daughter. 

As  to  the  statement,  that  Robert  Lord  WiW 
loughbv  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Jota^ 
third  l^arl  of  Salisbury,  it  is  quite  clear  from  t 
comparieou  of  dates  that  this  cannot  refer  to 
Robert  the  fourth  lord:  for  his  son  and  hell  ^^^ 
liam  was  born  about  13(58,  whilst  his  supposed 
grandfather,  the  third  Earl  of  Salisbury,  (lid  t»t 
mnri-y  until  the  end  of  1382  {Esch.  G  Rich.  II.  14): 
so  that  William,  the  fifth  lord,  must  in  IltliMI* 
trcdr's  pedigree  be  at  least  fifteen  years  oW* 
thnn  his  mother.  The  match  with  Afontacut^ii 
tu)i  noticed  in  the  Willoughby  pedigrves;  h<d 
Dugdnlt  mentions  it  under  "  Monlacute '"  (i.  *iSl)i 
and  there  is  no  difiiculty  in  believing  that  Eliu- 
bytb  was  the  first  wife  of  Robert  aixili  1^ 
Willoughby,  who  was  about  the  same  ft;:'.-  «-« thf 
fourth  Karl  of  Salisbury  (cf.  Ewh.  1  Ht-n.  IV.  U, 
and  Esch.  11  Hen.  IV,  15).  She  must  hnve  dj«i 
young  and  n.  p. ;  and  it  raises  a  slight  pre^umotiM 
iu  favour  of  a  previous  roaniage,  that  Lent  "H* 
lough by*B  daughter  and  heir  by  his  wife  iUurf

With  reference  to  tbe  derivation  of  caia/iito,  I  find 
I  have  recently  noted  from  Giotutaire  de$  3£oti  es- 
paynoh  ftportugnix  ttf'ricis  tie  rnrahe,  par  R.  Dosy 
ct  VV.H.Enpelmann,  2de  tfd.  Leyde,  1800,  p.  376, 
that  tbe  Arabic  origin  of  tbe  word  is  not  accepted 
bv  M,  Dozy.  I  have  not  noted  the  grounds  of  his 
objection.  The  evidence  on  the  other  side  was 
taken  from  Richardson's  Persian  and  Arabic  ZHct,, 
edited  by  F.  Johnson,  1852,  which  pives — 

'*  Kaff,  stripping  off  the  bark  of  a  tree  ....  caolldni^, 
pitching,  filling  up  seanM  ofaaJiip  irUh  tho  tlbresof  paloi 
leaves  or  mos»  .  .  ,  ." 

and 
"  Kal/at,  ....  caulking  (a  ship)  .  .  .  ." 


This  is  strong  evidence.  But  M.  Dozy  is,  I 
believe,  a  very  Ingb  authority.  iV«  regards  dojfotia, 
which  Mr.  IJ.  S.  CnARieocK  says  "seems  to  be 
derived  from  Sox^i  ^°X^*  from  Uxoficu/'  be  may  be 
assured  tUst  it  m  nevertheless  most  certainly  from 
tbo  Arabic  dticiin.  He  will  find  this  derivation 
of  thH  Spani.sh  aduana  in  tbe  above  work,  p.  47. 
Anil  I  mar  add  that  mediieval  forms  of  the 
Italian  wori  are  doana  and  dotvmn.  Pe^olotti  (in 
Dcffa  Decima,  vol,  iii.,  near  beginning;  says  that 
tbc  word  for  customs  ia  "  doauu  in  all  the  cities  of 
tbe  Saracens,  in  Sicily,  in  Naples,  and  tbuiuij;bout 
tbe  kinj^dom  of  ApuUa."  In  Amari's  Dipiomi 
Aralij  from  tho  Florence  archives,  the  word 
deivfin  frequently  occurs,  in  Tunisian  and  other 
documents,  as  the  Arabic  equivalent  of  dogana

It  may  inlerpst  T.  A.  H,  to  know  that  there  is  a 

I  fpcciea  of  bird  called  the  **  tur».ston«"  (Stt^nlaHf 

j  llliger)  of  the  order  of  "Stilt  birds"  {GraUtt, 
Linn.)  I  have  a  vivid  recollection  of  the  deep 
interest    I   took   in   tbo   movements   of   u   large 

!  number  of  thefte  birds,  when  on  a  viait  to  the 
Jardin  di's  Phmtca  in  Paris  some  yearn  ago.  Tho 
rapidity  nod  assiduity  with  which  those  pretty 
creatures  tum  over  the  stones  in  their  little  court 
in  search  of  food  is  moet  remnrkable.  In  the 
circum-'-tftncea,  however,  in  which  I  saw  them 
their  labours  were  not  very  well  rewarded,  and 
vet  they  well  deserved  to  be,  for  truly  they  did  not 
leave  a  stone  untamed  to  accompliflh  their  pur- 
pose. It  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  tho  phrase 
^*  leaving:  no  stone  imtnmed  "  is  doriveil  from  the 
habits  of  these  wonderful  birds.  I  think — though 
I  am  not  ornithologiBt  enough  to  state  with  cer- 
tainty— that  the  "  ttimstone  "  is  common  to  our 
shores.  L.  J.  Platt.

There  is  another  derivation  of  the  woi-d  graal 
qnite  ns  probable  as  tho^c  from  the  Latin  or  Old 
French.  The  word  is  said  to  be  from  tho  liebrew,

the  cup  or  vessel  gsed  at  circuiuciMion.  .\a  the 
Jewish  element  evidently  mingles  with  tho  tradi- 
tions fls  to  this  vessel,  this  derivation  ia  worth 
noting.     See  IIer«og's  Real-Encyklopadif.

Fkench  Lyrics  (3"»  S.  xii.  110.)— Mr.  Gus-

student  of  his  native  i)oetry,  that  few  lyrics,  if 
any,  can  escape  his  notice,  when  found  worthy  of 
being  treasured  up  for  a  new  edition  of  his  lAfre 
frangaisc.  In  a  recent  article  of  the  Revue  des 
deux  MondeSj  on  French  poets  and  i>oetry,  some 
extracts  were  eiven  from  the  woiks  of  living 
writers  who  aspire  to  a  place  on  the  French  Pai> 
nassus;  and  one  short  poem,  in  particular.  Is  so 
striking  from  its  severe  simplicity  and  truthful- 
ness to  nature,  that  a  translatiou  of  it,  which  1 
now  send,  may  gratify  French  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q." 
who  are  now  so  widely  scattered  through  the 
length  and  breadth  of  France.  J.  Macray.

"  The  first  man  that  I  saw  depart 
(I  was  too  young  to  bleed  at  heart. 
That  anguish  comes  when  hope  is  high). 
It  was  to  see  my  father  die. 
The  second  death — my  brother's — yet 
I  see  him  with  a  fond  regret ! 
Embracing  him,  by  doubt  held  fast, 
Ilalf-muttered  growls  at  Hcaren  I  ca:jt. 
But  on  the  day  my  mother  died — 
Twas  her  this  third  time  left  my  side — 
I  smiled,  and  said  with  hopeful  trust, 
The  soul  must  live  for  ever — must ! 
Since  then  no  more  1  rave  and  weep.

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  ETC. 

Contributioru  to  the  Literature  af  the  Fine  ArtM.  By  Sir 
Charles  Lock  p:a8tlako,  F.R.a,  D.CX.,  late  President 
of  the  Royal  Academy,  and  Director  of  the  National 
Gallerv.  Second  Senet.  With  a  Memoir  compiled  by 
Lady  l^astlake.  (Murray.)  t 
Students  of  art  in  England  are  fti^Iy  indebted  to  Sir 
Charles  Eastlake,  end  this  owing  in  no  small  degree  to 
his  peculiar  character,  in  which  powers  of  organisation, 
capacity  for  business,  and  all  that  is  supposed  to  belong 
to  practical  common  sense,  were  combined  with  the  most 
sensitive  type  of  the  artist  nature.  To  the  latter  he 
owed  that  succes.«  in  his  profession  which  made  him  Pre- 
sident of  the  Koyol  Academy ;  to  the  former  the  ad- 
ministrative power  whicli  enabled  him  to  discharge  suc- 
cessfullv  the  duties  of  (hat  high  station  and  its  kindred 
office,  the  Directorship  of  the  National  Gallery.  It  was 
fitting,  then,  that  Sir  Charles's  Anal  Contributions  to  the 
Literature  of  the  Fine  Arts,  here  printed — which  consist 
of  three  l-Zusays,  the  first,  "Uow  to  Observe,"  being  in- 
tended to  assist  the  intelligent  observation  of  works  of 
art ;  the  second  being  devoted  to  the  "  Difference  between 
Language  and  Art,  the  Beautiful  and  tfao  Sublime;  Re- 
presentation of  The  Saviour,"  Ac;  and  the  third,  "On 
the  Characteristic  Differences  between  the  Formative 
Arts  and  Descriptive  Poetry,"  —  should  be  accompanied 
by  a  Memoir  uf  this  accomplished  artist  and  critic.  This 
task  naturally  devolved  upon  Lady  Eastlahe.  The  Me- 
moir of  her  husb.tnd  is  characterised  by  great  good  taste, 
ddicacy,  and  feeling,  and  the  volume  is  at  once  a  fitting

B  question.  Ou  Janiiarv  Si,  1787,  the

iindor  the  date  of  Jonuarj  17  of  the 
I  the  following  worda :  —

"GROftKR  B." 

B  In  tbo  ftboTB  are  Tnin<?.  If  I  am 
Kwing  that  the  word  whitt/e,  omployed 
this  waj,  wgft  at  tho  date  in  question 
"  ■  ■  ^cept  perhaps  among  rustics 
Jie  of  your  waders  may  be 
..«  »ui..oritatiTelf),  Lord  Chatham 
been  atruck  by  the  king's  use  of  it. 
remftrkable  that,  if  it  bad  been 


used  even  by  the  Puke  of  Graftoo,  it  must,  one 

would  suppose,  hare  attracted  attentioD ;  but  used 
by  tho  kim,'  it  waa  likely  to  impress  itself  upon 
Lord  Chatham's  recollection,  and,  as  happens  in 
such  ca^s,  would  probably  recur  to  him  when- 
over  the  same  idea  was  presented  in  another  form 
of  words. 

Oo  January  14,  1773,  Junius,  in  a  private 
letter  to  the  Earl  of  Chatham,  enclosing  a  proof 
of  the  former*8  letter  to  Lord  MnnsUeld,  subse- 
quently published  in  the  Public  Adc&dwr  under 
the  date  of  January  21,  1772,  wrote  as  follows : — 

**  I  am  «o  clearly  ftntisfied  that  Lord  Min<!>5cH  has 
done  an  act  not  trnrranted  by  law,  ami  that  the  encl^med 
argument  is  not  to  bo  answered  (bcaitles  that,  I  tind  tho 
lawyers  concur  with'  me),  that  I  am  inclined  to  expect 
he  may  himself  acknowledge  it  as  an  orersight,  tmd 
endetrrnur  to  wHitth  it  meay  to  nothing." 

A^ain  I  have  maiked  tho  paflsage,  to  which  I 
wish  attention  to  be  directed,  in  italics.  Aaaum* 
ing  Chatham  to  be  Junius,  -which  I  confess  is 
at  present  the  tendency  of  mv  guesses  (one  cannot 
venture  to  speak  more  decisively,  even  conjec- 
turolly,  on  a  question  so  beset  with  difficulties  aa 
tho  authorship  of  the  famous  Letieri),  we  may 
account  for  his  use  of  whittle  by  tho  impresBion 
made  upon  him  when  he  saw  it  in  tho  Idng^s 
letter.  If  however  Junius  was  not  Chatham,  it 
is  noteworthy  that  a  word  of  such  rare  occurrence 
(in  writing  at  any  rate)  should  liave  been  used 
by  two  persons  in  epistolary  correspondence  about 
the  same  period. 

Leaving  that  point,  I  may  observe  that  if  T^ord 
Chatham  were  Junius,  and  had  reason  at  that 
particular  moment  to  fear  that  circumstancca 
would  direct  suspicion  so  strongly  sg-ainst  himself 
that  i:  would  be  necessary  for  him  to  do  some- 
thing to  avert  it,  what  bettor  means  of  effecting 
that  purpose  could  he  possibly  have  than  a  letter 
from  *'  the  great  boar  of  the  forest"  addressed  to 
himself,  commencing  with  this  passage :  — 

"  Confiding  implicitly  in  your  lorilihip's  honour,  I  toko 
the  liberty  uf  submitting  to  you  the  eutuosed  paper  befure 
it  be  givtin  to  the  public.*' 

And  closing  with  this :  — 

"  I  will  not  presume  to  trouble  your  lordflhip  with  any 
aflsurances,  however  juncere,  of  m>'  reirpect  and  esteem  for 
3'onr  chnrncter  sou  admiration  or  your  abiUiiea.  Retired 
and  unknown,  1  live  in  tbeahade.'and  have  only  a  fpeeii- 
Intive  ambition.  lo  the  wannth  of  my  ima^notion,  I 
wmetime54  conceive  that,  when  Junius  exerts  Iiih  utmost 
fiicultica  in  the  service  of  tus  country',  he  appn^aohcs  in 
theory  to  that  exalt»l  eharacter  which  Lord  l^hathain 
alone  tills  up  and  uniformly  supports  in  action." 

Only  one  romtu-k  upon  this  oxtrnct.  One  would 
imagine  that  Junius,  writing  to  Chatham,  would 
take  cnre  to  write  at  least  as  well  as  uaunl ;  but 
if  Chatham  were  actually  writin;!  a  letter  to  him- 
self which  rniffhl  never  bu  seen  by  any  oth»T  person, 
ho  would  not  be  very  particular  as  regards  stylo, 
and  might,  therefore,  leave  such  an  un».it  is  factory

itcnco  M  the  \AAi  in  the  abare  pAaao^A^  the  mare 
"pftrticulnrly  lu  ho  was  compUmonfing  bimscjf* 

Junius  wns  vory  nnxioas  about  tbo  prwsf  ofbU 
letter  to  Lord  iMaudticld.  I{o  first  alludes  to  it 
in  n  prirftte  letter  to  Woodfall,  dated  Jnauarj  0, 

"There  is  a  thing  to  mention  to  yoa  in  great  ooofl- 
denoe.  I  expect  your  awUtnnce,  aiid  relv  npon  your

mc;  and  cjiii  vou  ket-p  thu  press  st^mding  kaiW  for  the

•dl.  It  is  e««rntial  that  1  should  have  a  proof  sheet,  and 
correct  it  myself." 

It  13  romarVfible  tbat  this  should  have  been  the 
only  occasion  on  whicli  Junius,  in  bis  corrcspond- 
enco  vrith  Woodfall,  nxprtissed  any  wish  to  sen  a

Lord  Mauftield  to  make  it  a  matter  of  importaiK 
that  Ixird  Clinlbam  should  ees  it  before  it  ai 
peared  in  the  PitUic  Atiivrliser.     It  was  mei 
a  repetition  of  the  proposition  which  Jumtw  hj 
previously  laid  down  in  a  letter  to  Lord  Man

was  more  fully  and  ably  stated  in   the  »ec<

had  thought  it  material  that  Lord  Chatham  shoul 
see  those  authorities  before  the  expected  dificti^fei^ 
he  could  have  copied  and  sent  tl:om  to  hitn.     A^

apt>ear9  from  a  letter  to  Woodfall,  dated  Jani 
10,1772:  —

CmiGIXAL  LEITER  OF  ROBERT  KARL  OK 
SOMRRSET  TO  JOIIX.  AFTERWARDS  SIR 
JOHN  OAY,  OF  BARO,  Nov.  20.  1624. 

Tha  follo^ying  letter  is  intercstinir,  not  only  on 
account  of  tho  reference  to  the  dealings  between 
the  powerful  favourite  of  James,  whose  fall  was 
as  unexpected  as  bis  rise,  and  George  lleriot,  but 
because  it  indicates  that,  after  his  conviction  and 
sentence,  Somerset  was  not  so  much  depressed  in 
his  fortunes  as  has  been  supposed.  This  auto^ 
graph  letter  ia  a  beautiful  specimen  of  caHigraphy, 
and  has  a  fine  impression  of  tho  earl's  arms  in 
wax. 

Hay,  the  individual  to  whom  it  ia  addressed,  was 
one  ol  the  contributors  to  the  Musc'a  welcomo  to 
King  James  upon  his  visit  to  Edinburgh  in  1017. 
lie  was  at  one  time  Town  Clerk,  and  afterwards 
ProToet  of  Edinburgh.  lie  became  Lord  Clerk 
Register,  and  afterwards,  January  8,  103.3,  au 
Extraordinary  Lord  of  Session. 

On  the  promotion  of  Sir  Robert  Spottiswood 
to  the  Presidency,  Ilay  succeeded  to  nim  as  an 
Ordiuary  Lord  of  Session  January  7,  1044.  Ha 
incurrea  the  dislike  of  his  conntrvmon  by  advo- 
ciiting  the  introduction  of  tho  service  book.  This 
obliged  him  to  give  up  his  situation  and  ta3(0 
refuge  in  Knglaud.  He  received  an  order  for 
50(X)/.  sterling  on  the  Exchequer  as  a  compensa- 
tion, and  was  knighted  by  Charles  I.,  to  whose 
fortunes  he  remtuned  faitfiful,  and  very  nearly 
lost  his  head  for  his  loyalty.  He.  however,  saved 
himself  by  bribing  that  worthy  Saint  tho  Earl  of 
Lanark.  He  died  at  Huddingston,  near  Edin- 
burgh, November  20,1054,  Sir  James  Balfour,  a 
Uerce  Preabyterinn,  colls  him  *'  one  corrupt,  full  of

If  this  is  his  notion,  I  venture  to  remind  him 
that  "  Lord"  (with  tho  one  exception  where  it 
I  (figuili^s  a  titlti  pertaining  to  the  peerage)  simply 
I  impliea  euprcinac^'  over  certain  othen  who  stiinci 
in  iutiiuate  relatiouship  towards  the  person  so 
designated.  So,  be{fiuniug  with  Divinity,  Juhnsoa 
^ves  instances  of  its  application  to  all  sorts  of 
ranks  and  classes:  to  **  a  ruler"  (Mil^:)n,Dryden), 
"a master"  (Shakspeare),  "  an  oppressive  tyrant" 
(Hnvwurd),  ''a  husband"  (Pope),  '*one  at  the 
head  of  any  busineas"  (Tu8.-»er).  Accordingly, 
tho  Mayor  of  London,  &b  chief  of  all  the  mayors 
of  Knglondj  is  "  tho  iMrd  J[ayor  "  ;  the  lord  of  a 
luauor"  is  the  head  of  bia  manor,  receiving  hom- 
age from  his  tenants ;  the  "  hrd  mesne  "  is  the 
owner  of  a  inauor,  who,  holding  under  a  iwd para- 
mount, yet  has  freehold  tenants  under  him.  And, 
to  revert  to  the  judicial  bench,  while  every  puisne 
judKOt  addreseing  himself  to  the  bar,  refers  to  his 
chief  as  ''my  Lord,"  the  bar  itself  properly 
gives  the  same  style  and  dignity  to  all  the  judges 
alike  as  "  lords  "  lu  relation  to  it  It  would  surolj 
bo  OS  absurd  to  speak  of  tho  First  Lord  of  the 
Treasury  an  *'  Zort/  Gladstone,"  or  of  a  Lord  Chau- 
ct^llor,  before  his  patent  of  peerage  i»  made  out, 
as  "  Lord  Smith, '  or  the  Lord  Bishop  (over- 
Bcer)  of  London  as  ^'Zord  Jackson,**  as  of  the 
Lord  Chief  Justice  of  England  (Ills  proper  title 
by  the  by)  as  "  Lord  "  thi's  or  that  The  truth 
is,  in  fact,  that  it  is  thi>i  wurd  "chief"  which  is 
superfluous  and  redundant — a  discovery  which 
nimk'ni  progress  has  acted  upon  by  difipftniuug 
with  it  in  the  coses  of  the  judges  of  the  supremo

by  Dr.  Ch&Uoner  (Philadelphin,  1824),  read?  "  and

like  to  know  the  reason  for  this  wonderful  distor-

CoANGrarr  THB  FnwT  Les«oit  vx  the  CnrBcn 
Serficb.— Some  years  ago  I  heard  a  Church  dig- 
nitary state  that  it  wa:j  legitimate  to  alter  the 
first  lesson  for  the  day,  but  not  to  change  the 
second  lesson.  lie  said  he  could  not  give  tbe 
authority  for  it,  but  that  he  always  understood 
it  to  be  lawful.  To  my  surprise  I  have  just 
diflcovored  that  the  dignitAry  was  right,  for  on 
looking 'over  the  homilies  appointed  to  be  read  in 
chnrcheA  I  find  the  following  direction  in  "An 
Admonition  to  all  Ministers  Ecclesiofltical "  pre- 
fixed to  tho  second  tome  of  Homiliet :  — 

"  Where  it  may  m  chance  .inmc  one  or  other  chapter 
f>f  llie  01)1  Tt^tfttiieiit  tu  fall  in  ordvr  to  be  rvad  upon  the 
Sundnys  or  holydnys  which  were  l^ittpr  lo  be  clinnectl 
with  ftome  other  of  the  New  Testament  of  more  cJitica- 
tion.it  Khali  lie  wtU  <lone  lo  spend  vour  time  to  consider 
well  of  such  chnplora  beforehand,  whereby  your  pnid«^iic«

meiidation,t«  the  diJKharge  of  yoor  cooedeucca  and  theJr 
own.** 

The  first  and  second  lesson?,  therefore,  may  be 
from  the  New  Testament;  one  by  appointment 
of  the  Church,  and  the  other  at  the  option  of  tbe 
minister.  Aa  it  is  proposed  that  *'  a  hotter  selec- 
tion of  8crtpture  Icseona  "  should  form  one  of  the 
subjeeta  for  debato  in  the  next  teFsion  of  convoca-

(4"'  8.  IT.  107.) 

The  notice  given  by  W.  K  of  the  cemetery  uf 
tbia  lately  "renovated"  edifice  tempta  me  to' 
oduf  the  resulL  of  my  own  experience  on  a  receitt 
visit  to  tho  plftCG.  "When  stfpi  were  taken  in 
18lkJ  to  colleci  subocriptions  for  i\vi  lo^toraliou  of 
the  ch&pcd,  I  was  induced  Ui  aub^cr^bu  tr>  tbo 
fund  under  tho  positive  assuranco,  received  from 
the  eocretoxy  of  the  managing  oommitteej  that 
tho  monuments  "would  not  be  removed  oxoept 
nbsolutely  necessary,  and,  if  removed,  they  uotud 
hn  most  carcfulUj  rq}iace^.'*  Jly  fiuninse  therefore 
■was  great  wbeu^  on  enUrinp  the  chapel,  I  found 
that  every  monument  had  been  removed,  nud  not 
one  replaced  in  ita  original  position !  But  tUa 
was  not  the  worst  pnrt  of  the  ^Iteratipna  which;! 
under  the  name  of  "  restorfttion/'  bad  been  car- 
ried out :  for  on  mahing  a  further  aurvey  I  found 
thatjOul  uf  about  sixty  monuments  erected  before 
the  year  1800,  nearly  one  hiilf  had  been  tahon  to 
pieces  and  more  or  lew  mutilated,  by  Temo«nff 
the  ornRnienlal  back  nnd  Hide  ylaba  of  colourod- 
marble,  and  retaininjf  only  the  inscribeU  centre 
tablets.  Among  the  moiuimenta  thus  injured, 
thirteen  have  Imd  the  shields  of  anna  belonn:inj;» 
to  tliem  talcen  away — tin  net  of  Vandalism  (for  so 
I  consider  it)  which  has  mneh  dimimshed  their 
interest  and  value,  for  the  mUo  of  the  local  his- 
torian,  it  may  bo  useful  ta  record  the  names  nnd 
dates  on  the  niouuinGnta  so  dealt  with,  namely  :—

All  this  uncftUotl-fur  miscbiel  was  aulhoriitcd.

tLosc  of  Admiml  Sir  Georjre  CampWll  nnd  Cftpt. 
Sir  Jiimes  liUcfts  Yt*o,  lv.X.),  it  would  ecem  that 
tbo  arcbilect  bus  preferred  to  leave  the  walU  of 
thi»  body  of  the  rhApel  iu  tlieir  bare  unadorned 
state,  aa  rebuilt.  A  portion^  indetid,  of  the  plain 
-white  tjibleta  taken  from  the  monuuiouta  bas 
been  placed  close  together  at  the  west  end  of  the 
building',  on  the  space  gniued  by  its  r«cvnt  eu- 
largcuu'nt ;  and  here  &ouio  Iweuty-five  tnblets  ore 
arraiiF^^ed  in  parallel  n.>w9,  attached  to  the  walla, 
but  the  effect  is  vitntqmn  in  the  extreme  and  im- 
aatbfftctory,  A  few  otliera  have  been  degrraded 
from  their  original  locality,  and  are  now  placed 
abnof't  on  a  level  with  the  paveniflnt,  and  exposed 
to  iiU'vitablo  injury  from  their  clo.<!0  proximity  to 
tbo  wooden  chairs  of  the  cou^egation.  I  par- 
ticuUi'lr  allude  to  the  handaomo  monument  of 
Kear-Adniiral  Donald  Campbell,  Nov.  11,  1819. 
Bkd Colonel  Peter  Uawl(er,LieutenaDt-Govenior  of 
FortHOioulh,  Jan.  5,  1732.  I^^ides  theee,  no  less 
than  thirty  muuumenta  have  bren  crowded  to- 
gether into  the  »mall  veatry  on  the  north  aide  of 
the  chancel,  mo8t  of  which  are  imbedded  in  the 
wbUb.  and  the  two  lower  rows  quite  hidden  by 
the  PUTpliceti  of  the  cboristers,  whicn  are  su^peudtd 
around  on  a  wooden  rail. 

It  would,  I  think,  be  very  deeirable  to  know 
whether  euch  procettdings  arc  strictly  legnl,  and 
whether  it  is  really  in  the  power  of  a  committee 
or  architect  to  mutilate  monuments  in  puch  a 
manner  (even  if  a  faculty  baA  been  obtained  for 
tbcir  removal),  witbuut  lirH  obtaiuing  the  con- 
sent of  the  representatives  of  the  deceased  'f  There 
is  sun*ly  a  auuctity  and  property  in  monuiueuts 
aa  well  aa  in  ^tayt»,  and  botL  ought,  in  my 
opinion,  to  be  respected.  I  own  that  I  write 
warmly  on  the  mibjtct,  for  among  the  monuments 
iu  the  Guriaou  Chupel  ia  one  of  n  near  relative, 
put  up  at  a  couf«iderablo  expense  in  182H,  and 
which,  being  wholly  of  white  marble,  haa  been 
very  reoklei-aly  mutilated. 

Before  I  conclude,  I  wish  to  draw  attenttnn  to 
the  inscription  on  the  monanient  of  (.'nl.  Daniel 
O'Connor  (descended  from  an  ancient  fuuiily  of 
that  name  in  Ireland),  which  ia  becoming  illegible,

adraits,  aa  be  does,  the  inferiority  of  the  Celt 
to  tho  Dane  in  military  archit^^ctnre,  why  should 
any  one  be  indignant  at  the  idea  of  his  inferiority 
as  a  civil  architect  ?  I  was  confirmed  in  my  idea 
of  tho  innate  inferiority  of  the  ancient  Celts  as 
majwus  by  remarking  the  absence  of  taste  or  ftkill 
Tor  both)  observable  in  the  dwellings  of  their 
descendants — in  the  Scotch  Higblnnds,  in  Wales, 
in  the  Celtic  parts  of  Ireland,  imd  perhaps  more 
striktnfrly  in  Brittany.  I  have  vi»ited  countries 
as  littlo  blessed  with  wealth  as  any  of  the  ahore- 
mentioned,  but  such  uncomfortable  abodes  as 
those  which  appear  to  satisfy  the  Celts  X  nerer

vince LioM.  F.that  under  my  inquiry  in  **  N.  &  Q." 
there  larked  no  sneer  at  the  nation  to  which  be

question,  and  am  ready  to  believe  that  the  word 
fialiif  may  be  found  not  onlv  in  a  Celtic  dictionary 
of  1817,  but  also  in  the  oldest  Irish  manuscript 
which  the  rats  and  the  rain  have  left  \\m  ;  but  there 
is  one  assertion  in  my  opponent's  letter  to  which  I 
must  demur.  lie  sayt  *"  I  must  be  a  Dane"  I 
should  be  happy  to  claim  that  honour  had  I  any 
title  to  it,  but  I  hnvo  none.  Bom  in  the  county 
of  Bedford,  where  my  progenitors  bad  been  set- 
tled for  more  than  two  centuries,  I  must  be 
siitiefied  with  being  au  Englishman,  of  which  I 
trust  1  shall  never  have  reason  to  be  ashamed.

TOBTURE  AT  NUREMBEKG  AND  MUNICH: 

TUJi  KISS  OF  TII£  MAIDEN. 

(4^"  S.  v.  35.) 

In  AuGTuit  last  I  visited  Nuremberg,  and  having 
nreviously  read  Mr.  Pearaall's  interesting  article 
in  The  Arvfuf^hyiti  on  the  "  Kiss  of  the  Virgin," 
I  resolved  on  ascertaining  whether  that  instru- 
ment was  still  in  existence  in  the  old  city.  On 
inquiry  I  found  an  intelligent  guide  nam^d  John 
Winter,  a  native  of  Nuremlierg,  who  ifl  well  ac- 
quainted with  some  matters  of  local  history  and

way  to  which  he  led  us,  the  entrance  to  a  (light 
of  steps  hewn  apparently  out  of  the  rock  itself  on

and  found  ourselves  in  a  subterranean  gallery  or 
pas«'age,  with  several  Itfty  recesses  on  the  Irft 
hand,  in  which  were  placed  the  apparatus  for  in-

EBENEZER  JONES. 

(l**"  S.  T.  34.) 

I  hope  Mr.  GtBDSXAinw-WAtraH  may  receive 
from  otner  sources  a  more  complete  account  than 
I  can  give  of  this  remarkable  poet,  who  affords 
nearly  the  most  striking  instance  of  neglected 
genius  in  our  modem  school  of  poetry.  This  is  a 
more  important  fact  about  him  than  his  being  a 
Chartist,  which  however  he  was,  at  any  rate  for 
ft  time.  I  met  him  only  once  in  my  life,  I  believe 
in  1848,  at  which  time  he  was  about  thirty,  and 
would  hardly  talk  on  any  subject  but  Chartism. 
His  poems  (the  Studies  of  Sensation  and  Evcnt^ 
had  been  published  some  five  years  before  my 
meeting  him,  and  are  full  of  vivid  disorderly 

fower.  X  was  little  more  than  a  lad  at  the  time 
first  chanced  on  them,  but  they  struck  me 
flpreatly,  though  I  was  not  blind  to  their  glaring 
aefects  and  even  to  the  ludicrous  side  of  their 
wilful  "  newness" ;  attempting,  as  they  do,  to 
deal  recklessly  with  those  almost  inaccessible 
combinations  in  niilure  and  feeling  which  only  in- 
tense and  oft-wnewed  effort  may  perhaps  at  Inst 
approach.  For  all  this,  these  "  Studies "'  should 
be,  and  one  day  will  be,  disinterred  from  the 
heaps  of  verse  deservedly  buried. 

Some  years  after  meeting  Jones,  I  was  much 
pleased  to  hear  the  great  poet  Robert  drowning 
speak  in  warm  terms  of  the  merit  of  his  work ; 
and  I  have  understood  that  Monckton  Milncs  (Lord 
Houghton)  admired  the  "Studies"  and  interested 
himself  on  their  author's  behalf.  The  only  other 
recognition  of  this  poet  which  I  have  observed  is 
the  appearance  of  a  short  but  admirable  lyric  by 
him  m  the  collection  called  Kightintfttle  VaUey^ 
edited  by  William  AUingham.  I  believe  that 
some  of  Jones's  unpublished  MSS.  are  still  in 
tho  possession  of  his  friend  Mr.  J.  Linton,  the 


eminent  wood-engraver,  now  rending  m  New 
York,  who  coula  no  doubt  fizmish  more  &eli 
about  him  than  anyone  else.  It  ia  fnlly  tiae 
that  attention  should  be  called  to  thia'poet'i 
name,  which  is  a  noteworthy  one.  It  mar  not  k 
out  of  place  to  mention  here  a  much  eanier  ■! 
still  more  striking  instance  of  poetic  genina  wUiA 
has  hitherto  fuled  of  due  recognition.  I  aMi 
to  Charles  J.  Wells,  the  author  of  the  blank  vaat 
scriptural    drama    of  Jowpk  ayd    hU  SrwOawk^ 

?ublished  under  the  pseudonym  of  "  Howavd"  ii 
824,  and  of  Stories  after  Naturt  (in  prose,  ki 
of  a  highly  poetic  cast),  published  uionymouilf  ii 
1822.  This  poet  was  a  friend  of  Keata,  who  li- 
dressed  to  him  one  of  the  sonnets  to  be  fouaiiD 
his  works — "  On  receiving  a   present  of 


Wells's  writings — youthful  as  they  are— d«Mm 
to  stand  beside  any  poetry,  even  of  that  titts,  Ir 
original  genius,  and,  I  may  add,  for  native  itn^

Respecting  the  destruction  of  MSS.  in  geiMnl 
and  those  referred  to  in  particuliir,  I  muft  fW 
remind  Mb.  E.  R.  Dibdih  that  when  a  woik  ii 
sent  to  the  press  and  a  proof  knocked  off,  the 
original  with  tho  proof  is  returned  for  the  autfav 
or  composer  to  correct,  and  he  is  not  supposed  to 
send  his  manuscript  back  to  the  printer  with  ths 
corrected  proof.  Secondly,  Charles  Dibdin  wiBlld 
and  published  the  bul^  of  his  works  at  Am  MP 
printing  ofHce,  and  it  is  the  MSS.  of  those  woita^ 
as  well  as  the  unpublished  ones,  that  are  in  vf 
friend's  possession,  and  which  I  have  seen. 

I  submit  1  have  solved  the  difficulty  raised  Irf 
Mb.  E.  K.  Dibdiw  (not  created  bv  me).  1  db* 
decline  to  give  the  name  of  the  fady  in  queitkB 
until  better  informed  of  the  right  of  Mb.  K  B. 
Dibdin  to  demand  it,  and  even  then  I  leserreto 
myself  the  option  of  refusing  it ;  bat  I  hiTO  ^

agree  witli  bim  for  one  moiuent :  tht:  entiiva  run 
on  regularly,  and  the  chroncdogy  is  intact.  The 
page  headings  run  thus :  Oct.  27,  ITl'J,  at  p.  272 ; 
then  Nov.  28,  1710;  Feb.  15,  17^  j  Aiuil  28, 
1720i  Dec.  31,  1720;  Jan.  7,  175l);  Feb.  28, 
172J:  April  13,  1721;  Dec.  21,  1721;  Jan.  31, 
172i;  Feb.  0,  172*:  April  27,  172^;  Dec  3, 
1722  J  Jan.  12.  172|;  Feb.  4,  172|  j  March  6, 
172«,  at  p.  a07. 

The  use  of  different  styles  la  always  liable  to 
confuaion.  Thus,  the  martyrdom  of  Iving  Charles 
ia  placed  by  some  historians  in  1G4^,  by  othera  in 
1041),  accordbig  aa  the  civil  and  legal  or  the  hia- 
torical  year  ia  used.  Again,  ''the  glorious  and 
immortal  memory  **  may  bo  dated  either  1(188  or 
1680.  I  would,  therefore,  suggest  for  Mk.  Lbb's 
consideration  whether  it  would  not  be  correct, 
ttnder  one  B^stemy  to  denominate  Dec.  3, 1722,  of 
the  above  tronscnpta,  aa  Dec.  3,  172*  ;  and'tbcn, 
under  another  suttenij  to  start  with  the  next  cntiy 
as  Jan.  12,  172},  aa  above  also.  Thus  brining 
the  three  years  1721,  1722,  1723  together,  within 
as  close  approximation  as  we  find  them  in  theflO 
conflicting  dates  of  MuU  Fiander*^  thus  set  forth. 
Anyhow,  your  readers  will  see  that  I  have  suh- 
8tantiat<^d  my  dates,  and  if  Mr.  I^re  shouM  find 
it  necessary  to  cancel  his  ''Clironological  Cata- 
logue,'* I  trust  that  he  will  favour  me  with  a 
copy  of  tho  roviaed  sheeta  for  my  trouble. 

One  word  aa  to  tho  right  of  entry  itaolf,  against 
which  there  ia  a  general  prejudice.  The  Jlxet 
Copyright  Act  (8  'Auno,  cap.  19)  introduced  no 
novelty  :  it  restricted  the  limit  of  duration  for 
all  copyrights,  and  gave  increased  powers  of  pro- 
tection against  piracy  during  that  limit,  prorioing 
that  all  claimants  to  copyright  should  enter  at 
Stationers'  Hall.  But  entry  at  Stationers'  HaU 
existed  before  Quoen  Anne's  davs  ;  it  was  a  gene- 
ral custom  among  tho  publiahmg  trade  to  make 
such  entries  long  beforehand.  Parliament,  in 
enforcing  that  right  of  entry,  only  coutirmcd  on 
established  custom,  evidently  borrowing  the  idea 
from  the  usages  of  the  City  Corporation.  Tho 
Stationers'  Company,  therefore,  enjoy  this  right 
by  as  clear  a  prescnption  as  is  p«>s6iblo. 

In  the  above  "  entry  "  of  Maii  Fhndert,  "  vi." 
refers  to  the/rr  paid  on  entry,  and  the  '*  Itecd.  9  " 
refers  tn  tho  gratis  conies  contributed  under  the 
old  Act  to  certain  public  libraries.  This  delivery 
of  fiin<!  copici,  aa  of  a  new  book,  will,  I  think, 
(Kilisfy  Mil.  Le£  that  the  entry  must  refer  to  Uio 
tirat  edition.  Autuuu  IIlUU.

would  suppose  they  might  be  counted  without  | 
difficulty ;  but  as  a  fact  we  have  no  reliable  | 
numeration  of  them.  > 

The  name  Cartiac  Is  certainly  identical  with  | 
that  of  the  celebrated  temple  in  E;rvpt,  and  such  ' 
identity  is  explained  by  Chevalier  liuuseu's  dit;-  | 
covery  that  the  primitive  Keltic  of  Europe  is  the  I 
older'  element  in  the  composite  language  of  an-  ' 
cient  Egypt.     It  is  curious,  however,  that  the  i 
fantastic  beings  (dwarfs  of  pigmy  size  hut  gigan-  { 
tic  strength,  supposed  by  the  peasantry  to  haunt  ! 
and  guard  them)  sliould  be  called  **Corid" —  ' 
elves  that  properly  belong  to  a  **  cor  "  or  circle,  j 
like  Stoncliougc,  not  to  line  stones.     It  is  possible 
that  Carnac  is  the  avenue  to  an  enormous  temple 
such    as  Avebury  contemplated,    but  for  some 
cause  never  begun,  which  would  have  been  the 
*'cor  "  that  g^ves  its  name  to  these  sturdy  Ariels. 
Cran  is  a  head,  because  it  is  round,  which  is  the 
xoot  meaning  of  the  Cymric  cranj  as  cf  its  Latin 
cousin  cranium.    Cam  ia  another  form,  applied  to 
a  round  pile  or  skull  of  stones ;  but  why  it  should 
be  applied  to  stones  in  line,  except  for' the  above 
reason  that  they  were  intended  to  lead  to  a  real 
Cam-aCf  or  high  circular  temple,  I  cannot  ex- 
plain— perhaps  Lxltus  can.         Mos  JI^Ieirioit.

Position  of  Creed,  etc.,  in  Chitbches  (d***  S 
v.^31.)  —  In  the  parish  church  of  Fleet,  near 
Spalding,  Lincolnshire,  before  its  restoration  a 
few  years  ago,  tlie  Ten  Comma:idments  were 
placed  on  the  eaH  wall  of  the  nave^  the  Creed  and 
Lord*8  l^ayer  on  the  north  and  sot^A  walls  respec- 
tively. The  reason  in  this  particular  instance  was 
want  of  space  at  the  east  end  of  the  chancel,  on 
account  of  the  size  of  the  east  window.  I  do  not 
know  of  any  church  where  the  Creed,  &c.,  occupy 
the  wed  wall  of  the  nave.  C.  S.  J. 

The  end  of  the  nave  is  considered  to  be  the  place 
probably  intcuded  by  the  rubric  for  setting  up 
the  commandments,  &c.  The  ini'unction  states 
"the  east  end  of  every  church  ani  chapel  whore 
the  j)eople  may  heU  see  and  read  the  same." 
Architects,  a  few  years  ago,  began  again  to  place 
them  at  the  end  of  nave  and  aisles  instead  of  in 
the  chancel  J  more  recently  they  have  omitted 
tbem  altogether.  P,  E.  Maset. 

Two  or  three  years  ago,  in  the  parish  church  of 
Hesaet,  near  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  the  creed  in 
black-letter  was  found  under  the  whitewash  upon 


the  wall  of  the  south  aisle  above  the  piscm 
Signs  of  colour  led  to  further  examination,  whai 
it  appeared  that  the  creed  had  been  ioKnfaed 
over  a  very  graceful  head  of  a  female  sainL  The 
style  of  the  painting  was  altogether  good,fitapeiior 
to  the  usual  character  of  mural  paintings. 

Could  the  object  of  placing  tlie  creed  in  tbii 
position  have  been  to  preserve  the  saint  iiom  ths 
ruthless  hands  of  the  Reformers  ?  E.  M.  D.

CHArcFR'a  BoB-up-ATTD-Dowir  (4"*  S.  iv.  609  J 
V.  71.)  —  From  Mil  CowrEa's  opening  romarka 
one  would  suppose  I  have  introduced  a  new 
"  plan  ■'  of  replying  to  an  article  which  appeared 
in  another  paper.  Mb.  Cowpek  is  protesting 
ngaiuat  bimsell.  The  very  "  plan  "  he  objects  to 
and  attempts  to  father  upon  me  is  a  brat  of  his 
own.  Mu.  CowpcR  admits  to  having  adopted 
this  very  practice  at  p.  519  of  the  previoua 
volume. 

Mr.  Cownm  intamates  T  hare  waited  a  year 
before  replying  to  his  communication  in  The 
AtKfiHetum.  To  this  my  answer  is  the  following 
note,  signed  by  myself,  which  appeared  in  that 
p^per  of  March  C  last : — 

"  Chanctr  ShtiHe*. — A  eotnmnnication  from  the  Chan- 
cer Atndciit,  who  declare*  for  Thiuininp*(m  m  *  Bob-up- 
nnd-Down/  mipenrs  in  The  JlheHtrvm  o{  t>ewnjber  26th 
la.st,  Thw  theon-  U  open  to  the  fuUnwin^;  objections  : — 
The  Villi'  of  Dunkirk  came  inlo  os.i*lenco,  and  waa  first 
occupied  by  aquation*,  in  the  early  pnrt  «if  last  c«itury  ; 
there  is  no'  authority  for  giving  U'>uK)itoi)  Hill  a  Oad'a 
Hill  notoriety,  <"onhequcntIy  the  pilgrims  had  no  reason 
fir  quitting  tlic  beat-known  and  naual  road  to  Canter- 
bun-." 

Mb.  Cowper  based  hia  theory  to  a  great  ex- 
tf^nt  upon  Hasted.  I  conclude  he  \a  an\ioiis  to 
arrive  at  the  truth,  and  this  15  whv  1  showed 
Hasted  bad  been  misundiTSitood.  This  caoDot 
annny  any  one,  surely. 

If  the  extracts  from  Chaucer  relating  to  robbew 
and  thieves  refer  to  Ospringc,  so  much  the  worse 
for  Mr.  Cowpek's  theory.  If,  on  the  contrm, 
BoughtoD  is  meant,  what  was  the  object  of  the 
pilgrims  in  g"oing  from  one  part  to  another  of  "  the 
(no  doubt)  robber-haiinted  forpst'*?

Kit's  Cott  House  (4*^  S.  v.  32.)— "When  a 
boj  of  thirteen,  I  walked  to  Kit*e  Coty  House, 
pi^Iy  to  Bee  a  "  Dniidical  monument,'*  partly  to 
seek  the  explanation  i>f  the  legend  I  had  heani, 
"  that  a  cavity  in  the  top  stone  could  never  be 
emptied  of  its  water."  1  well  remember  ex- 
amining the  Btonea  to  make  eure  that  they  were 
truly  separate.  AVe  then  climbed  to  the  top,  and 
there  I  found  not  one,  but  two  main  cavities  con- 
taining water,  and  communicating  by  a  channel 
or  Aperture  in  the  dividinff  portion  of  the  stone. 
My  boyish  conjecture  waa  that  some  rustic,  ig- 
norant of  the  communication,  had  tried  to  empty 
one  by  pouiing  the  water  into  the  other,  and  had 
been  aatoDiehed  to  Und  that  hid  aide  remained  as 
full,  or  nearly  OB  full,  m  before.  After  all,  the 
tale  aa  Hwas  told  to  me  nmy  have  been  a  cor- 
roptiou  of  the  tale  told  to  >1R.  IhTTTKi:^ ;  and  I 
have  no  dilhculty  in  believinj^  that,  iu  a  rainy 
country  like  Enplnnd,  some  little  water  would  be 
found  in  the^e  cavities  in  nil  or<.linary  seasons.  I 
haveoft<;n  wi-»hed  to  re-exnmine  the  stone,  having 
never  be*»n  able  to  diveat  myself  of  the  idea  that 
these  cavities,  whether  natural  or  artificial,  were 
intended  to  bo  there,  and  were  connected  with 
sacrificial  riles  (or  the  ceremonial  use  of  pure 
water).  Such  re- exami nation  would  be  worth 
the  labour  of  any  neicbbouring  antiquary  and 
geologist,  and  it  would  also  be  worth  learaiufr 
whclhtr  the  top  atones  of  other  cromlechs  (I  apeak 
in  these  things  i^orantly)  have  similar  cavitiea, 
or  any  dish-Iiko  mcurving  of  their  upper  surface  ; 
or  whether  such  cavities  have  anv  analogy  with 
"  the  cuppings  "  noticed  on  the  old  burial  stones. 
So  far  as  1  remember,  I  noticed  no  "  deep  cavi- 
ties" in  the  uprights,  nor  did  I  hear  any  other 
legend  retnirding  this  house  of  stone.  In  the 
neighbourhoud,  however,  are  or  were  a  number  of 
stones,  of  which  it  was  said  they  could  never  be 
twice  coimted  alike.  I  rather  think  that  the 
devil  —  that  popular  substitute  for  the  dctis  rt 
machma  — got  tne  credit  of  thid  ingenious  puzzle.

Medals  (i"*  S.  v.  15.)— T  really  do  not  know 
why  Bklfasx  has  called  upon  mo  to  au'^wer  hil 
query,  as  I  know  very  little  about  medoU,  with 
the  exception  of  those  relating  to  secret  sttcietiwj 
but  aa  the  name  of  Belfast  has  a  peculiar  clala 
upon  me,  I  will  endeavour  to  satisfy  him  is  ftff 
08  lies  in  my  power.  Of  the  first  I  know  Dot&iOf 
more  tlian  can  be  seen  from  the  medal  it*elf.  TU 
sun  of  the  first  year  of  George  I.'s  reign  fthedf

figures,  the  one  clothed  and  apparently  in  h'-^r  right 
miud,  with  the  word*'SrAi*KRE  "  in  front  of  h«r; 
the  other  semi-nude^  seemingly  insane,  gra^^ici^ 
the  sun  with  her  nght  hand,  while  she  fpunrt 
the  world  with  her  foot;  the^e  two  may  Uj  W4fl 
explained  by  the  following  lines  from  Defosk 
"Hymn  to  the  Mob":  —

Aad  if  |)crsuaciuQ  won't  thu  |j:.-l11uws  will.** 

l*robably  the  medal  refers  to  the  pr 
rrtised  by  tlie  mob  that  year  iu  London,  o, 
rchelliou  in  .Scotland. 

The  second  one  refers  to  a  Charles  Sackvillp

I  knew  Mr.  Denforth  many  years

Danforth,  Vail,  Si  Ilufly— the  largcat

hope  to  hear  from  him  in  regard  to

He  married,  secondly,  Mra.  Lushingtoo,  better

614 ;  v.  46.) — Of  coorae  the  stone  at  tlie  Troitsa 
Convent,  near  Moscow,  ia  well  known.  I  saw  it 
last  year:  it  is  a  cut  agate,  about  six  inches  in 
circumference ;  on  the  ^ce  of  it  aro  plainly  to  be 
seen  a  crucidx,  and  the  kneeling  figure  of  a  monk, 
both  black.  I  examined  the  stone  closely,  but 
could  not  make  oat  that  it  had  been  tampered 
with.  U.  A.  St.  J.  M. 

WART-riKT.D  Pakibh  Chttrch  (4"»  S.  V.  92.) — 
To  your  querist  who  asks,  "  Can  nothing  bo  done 
to  stop  '*  the  laying  down  of  a  black  and  white 
chesB-ixiard  pattern  floor  in  this  ancient  build- 
ing, I  reply  that  the  plan  for  it,  though  not 
originated,  was  at  least  sanctioned,  and  the  tech- 
nical arrangements  for  it  made,  byGcorgc  Gilbert 
Scott,  Esq.,  the  architect  If  an  R.  A.  thinks 
that  a  6aor  like  a  Stafibrdahire  farmer's  kitchen 
ia  appropriate  to  a  Gothic  choir,  or  an  F.S.A, 
approve*  of  the  tearing  up  of  the  tonrb-atones  of 
an  extensive  and  important  pariah  like  Wakefield, 
or  a  man  of  Mr.  Scott'a  eminence  is  ready  to 
decade  himself  to  sanction  the  first  plan  tug- 
gestod  by  a  local  committee,  what  cnti  be  done  P

«  A  Pnr  JL  Bat  is  a  Gboat  a  Yeab"  (4**'  8.  iv.

saying?  Somewhere  in  hia  writings  occur  the 
following  lines : — 

'*  A  penny  tared  ib  twopence  clear; 
A  pin  a  day  la  a  groat  a  year.** 

D,  Macpiujl, 

**  TllERE*fl   NO  LOTTS  LOST  BETWKETT   THEH  "  (4** 

S.  iv.  ]*J3.) — It  has  been  shown  that  thia  phrase 
ia  capable  of  two  meanings :  the  original  one,  now 
obsolete,  that  not  an  atom  of  love  was  dropped 
but  it  was  gathered  up  and  garnered;  and  tho 
present,  or,  as  it  may  be  called,  the  ironical  one, 
that  thero  was  no  love  to  lose.  But  it  has  not 
been  noticed,  though  I  think  it  worth  adding, 
that  Tony  Lumpkin  is  made  to  use  it  in  boUi 
senses,  whon  in  Act  iv.  he,  more  suoj  ia  humbug-

P.  clxxiii.  A  similar  expression. 

I  now  am  reminded  that  I  was  wronir  in  saying 
thit>.  I  did  BoniQ  few  years  ago  bom  Aoe  the 
pamphlet  and  read  it  through,  and  found  it  to  be 
quite  aa  good  as  I  fehoold  hare  siinuised  before- 
hand. 

P.  ciii.  (Memoir)  : — 

"  Lowndes  rcgiriters  It  [the  above-named  panipblel]  by 
tUo  singular  title,  *  Wo  ptty  the  plumaf^e,'  "  &c. 

I  stated  this  on  the  authority  of  a  bookseller, 
who   showed  me  the  entry  in  Lowndee;  but  I 
DOW  learn  that  the  two  pamphlets  were  separate 
and  distinct. 
P.  yiO:— 
'*  Heap  on  thy  touI,  by  vlrtoo  of  this  curac.

Aad  tbvUi  Mad  tbjr  wlf-tortoring  aolitode  1 " 
In  my  notes  (p.  'iOO)  I  have  explained  tbe 
sense  in  which  1  construe  these  linos,  pimctuated 
(by  myself)  as  above.  Mr.  Swinburne  dillerij 
from  me,  and  1  think  he  must  be  right  and  I 
wrong.  *'l  feel  Purt!/'  he  saya,  "that  *  Both' 
can  only  AppW  to  *  both  ill  deeds  and  good.^ " 

VoLii.  p.  213:  — 
'*  My  loul  spamed  tbe  chains  of  ita  disniaj'. 
And  ui  the  rapid  pluniei  uf  M>ng 
Ch>tb0d  itself,  sublime  and  «tron)i;; 
(A»  a  young  eagle  Hoarit  tbe  inoniiug  cloudi  among) 
Uoveriag  io  verw  o'er  it*  accustomed  prvy.'* 

In  these  lines  the  words  "  hovering  in  wrae  " 
&c.  appeared  to  me  to  be  dilGcult  to  account  for. 
I  did  accotmt  for  them  somehow  punctuated  tbe 
passage  to  correspond,  and  explained  my  view  in 
a  note  (p.  56U}.  But  now  I  think  the  whole 
difficulty  arises  from  a  aerious  luiKprint  in  all  the 
editions — viz.  "in  verse"  instead  of  '* inverse." 
Inverse  would  mean  inverted ;  and  the  eagle 
hovering  over  ita  prey,  and  wheeling  inwards  in 
circlea,  might  easily  be  termed  "  hovering  in- 
verse." I  would,  therefore,  now  read  and  punc- 
tuate— 

**  Clothed  itidf.  tablime  and  stroug  ; 

Aa  a  young  eagle  aoani  tbe  morning  clouds  among^ 
Hovering  inverse  oVr  its  acciwtocned  prey." 

I  prefer  to  understand  "  inverse  "  as  rae4ming 
*' wheeling  inwards"  r&ther  than  "with  head 
downwarna ;  for  a  good  obaerrer  of  nature  assuros 
me  (and  indeed  it  had  appeared  ho  to  niyiwlf )  that 
the  eaffle  is  not  really  ever  in  an  inverted  position 
while  novering — only  while  swooping.

[^•^S.  V.  FiJi.lI.'Ta 


r.  ?.73,  last  line:— 
"  How  young  art  thou  in  thii  olt!  ago  [of]  time.** 

The  wnrd  "of"  1ms  dropped  out  in  the  final 
prlniing-ofr.  Such  niic>haps  a^  these,  occurring 
between  the  time  when  one  passes  the  proof  and 
that  when  the  book  roaches  tne  reader,  are  pecu- 
liarly vexatious ;  and  a  very  full  average  of  them, 
J  fancy,  has  afflicted  me. 

P.  397:— 

"  And  others,  as  with  steps  towards  the  tcmh, 
Poured  on  the  trodden  worms  that  crawled  beneath." 

Here  is  a  vile  and  disgusting  blunder,  for  which  I 
am  responsible,  having  failcil  to  observe  it  in  the 
proof.    **  Poured  "  should  of  course  be  '*  pnred." 
P.  403,  line  15.  Add  :—  after  "  minion." 
P.  411.  Shelley's  note  on  Priitce  Atkanase  runs 
«a  follows :  — 

"The  author  was  pursuing  a  fuller  development  of  the 
ideal  character  of  Atbanaw,  when  it  struck  him  that,  in 
An  attempt  at  extreme  refinement  and  analysis,  his  con- 
ceptions miplit  be  betrayed  into  the  a.ssuming  a  morbid 
character.  The  reader  will  judge  whether  be  is  n  loaer 
or  gainer  by  this  difference.'* 

This  is  faithfully  reproduced  from  previous  edi- 
tions ;  but,  on  further  refiection,  it  seems  to  me 
pretty  clear  that "  difference  "  ought  to  be  "  diffi- 
dence." 

P.  418,  last  line.  For  "  steeps  "  read  "steeds." 
(A  case  of  an  inverted  d). 

P.  435.  last  line  of"  To  Minerva."  For  *'  others  " 
read  "  others*." 

P.  458.  The  first  of  the  two  translations  from 
Moschus  should  probably  be  dated  1810.  It  ap- 
peared originally  in  the  Aiastor  volume,  published 
lu  that  year. 

P.  490,  line  3  from  bottom.  For  "aalo  "  read 
-"sail" 

P.  51G,  line  3.  For  "  flame  "  read  "  frame." 

P.  627.  The  juvenile  poom  "Mother  and  Son  " 
l!"  printed  from  my  own  tr.inscript  of  Shelley's 
MS.  hitherto  unpublished.  In  stanza  2  the 
word  "  feel "  comes  at  the  close  of  a  line  which 
ought  to  rhyme  with  "live."  This  is  correctly 
printed,  and,  I  fancy,  correctly  transcribed  also ; 
out  probably  the  word  which  Shelley  would  have 
■written,  but  for  a  slip  of  his  pen,  was  "  grieve." 

P.  642.  I  have  made  a  muddle  in  the  note  on 
tbifl  page.  Shelley  givos  as  the  motto  to  his 
"  Peter  Bell  the  Third  "  the  following  lines :  — 

**  Is  it  a  party  in  a  parlour. 
Crammed  just  as  they  on  earth  were  crammed, 
8ome  sipping  punch — soms  sipping  tea, 
But.  as  you  by  their  faces  se*". 
All  silent,  and  all— damned  ?  " 

"  I'eter  iJell,"  by  W.  Wordsworth. 

The  edition  of  Wordsworth  which  I  possess 
(one  of  the  current  editions  of  his  full  collected 
poems)  does  not,  in  its  version  of  "Peter  Bell," 
contain  tliese  lines.  I  therefore  assumed  that 
**'ird8wortb  had  never  written  the  lines,  and 


that  the  a^^cription  of  them  to  him  was  a  bit  of 
banter  on  Shelley's  part  But  this  wna  (as  Dt 
Johnson  said)  "ignorance,  madam,  pore  ipiff* 
ance  "  in  me,  or  perhaps,  rather,  fnrgetfohwsi 
Mr.  Swinburne  has  set  me  right.  The  fumfb 
"  7ca8  in  the  first  cdiUon  of  Wordsworth^  'Peter  j 
Bell  * ;  but  even  hia  disdples  could  not  qmis  J 
stomach  that  stanza,  and  even  he  was  penoadii 
to  cancel  it." 

P.  650,  line  25.  The  phrase  quoted  froa 
Shelley,  *'  to  approximate  one  to  tbe  circle^'*  kt 
should  be  " to  approximate  me*' 

P.554:— 

"The  next  stanza,  xxxii.  [of  'Adonaia*]  introdiw 
Shelley  himself ;  and  xxxv,  Severn." 

Mr.  Garnet  points  out  to  ma  that  it  is  undemtilf 
Leigh  Ilunt,  not  Severn.    I  stand  corrected. 

P.  659,  line  25.  Read  "  vol.  I"  The  figuebi 
fallen  out. 

P.  601,  line  7  from  the  bottom.  For  "ian*- 
morato  "  read  "  innamorata." 

That  there  are  other  slips  of  printing  in  fti 
new  edition  of  Shelley  I  am  br  this  time  too

VALEXTINES  OF  TIIK  LAST  CEXTURT. 

No.  I. — On  the  outside  of  the  valentine,  eodr- 
cling  a  heart,  which  is  broken  up  on  the  uafoU- ' 
ing  of  the  IcUer:  — 

*'  Dear  Lovo,  thi.-i  Heart,  which  you  behaU, 
Will  break  whan  tou  theses  LeAvea  unfold: 
Even  80  my  Heart,  with  Inve-aick  Pain 
Sore  wouuiled  i^  and  breaks  ia  twain.** 

In  the  interior  of  the  vslentine,  encirdiaf  • 
medley  of  Cupid  with  bis  bow,  a  bleeding  Mtf 
\^'ith  his  arrow,  hearts  single  and  hearts  joiaei 
together,  a  sun,  moon,  and  stars,  roses,  11171^ 
and  forget-me-nots,  is  the  following:  — 

*'  My  dearest  dear,  and  blest  divine, 
I've  pictured  here  j^onr  Ileart  and  mine; 
Diit  Cupid,  witb  hi$  fatal  Dart, 
Hath  wounded  deep  my  tender  heart; 
And  hath  betwixt  us  set  a  Grosa, 
Which  makes  me  to  lament  my  Loss ; 
But  Vm  in  Hopes,  wheu  this  b  gone. 
That  both  our  Hearts  will  join  in  One. 
**  You  arc  the  Girl,  and  only  Maid, 
That  hath  my  tender  Heart  betray'd : 
Nor  ever  will  my  Heart  have  Ean 
Untill  our  Hearts  are  joined  like  these. 
If  you  refuse  to  be  my  WiP^, 
It  will  bereave  me  of  my  Life. 
Pale  Death  at  last  most  stand  my  Friend, 
And  bring  tlie  Sorrows  to  an  End 
Of  your  true  I^ver,  Volentioe,  and  THmA.

^•,  my  attention  was  drawn  by 
ferii's  nf  nearly  rireulor  shal- 
Aurfacc  of  a  "  luoorstone  '^ 


lying  on  the  "bank"  nearly  opposite  hia  house. 
Speculating  on  their  probable  use — for  ho  assumed 
at  once,  from  their  general  form  and  appearance, 
that  they  were  artitidal — his  inquiry  wna,  Could 
they  not  have  been  u^d  for  muuiog  cider?  In 
Harlaud  and  Wilkinson's  Lancaithive  FoUilorc 
(Wame  &  Co.,  1807,  pn.  100-110)  are  detailed 
notices  of  what  the  aolliore,  following  Borlaee, 
term  "  Druidical  rock  basins,"  together  with  a 
reference  to  his  remarks  on  like  cavities  in  Corn- 
wall, and  certain  speculationa  as  to  their  origin 
and  purpose,  which  I  in  part  extract  as  follows : — 

"  Dr.  Borlaao  confidently  ueerts  that  the  ancient 
Druids  Ofled  these  rock  hanns  fnr  hnptismnl  and  sacri- 
ficial purpoeea.  ....  Whether  they  have  been  formed 
by  natural  or  artificial  means.  \t  Btill  n  matter  of  diipule. 
Un  the  whole,  the  writer's  upinioD  in  that  the  rock  basina 
of  Scill^,  Corawall,  D.rhyjthire,  Yorkshire,  and  East 
Lancnshirp  are  |>artly  nntural  and  partly  artificial;  the 
ftpmicr  bein«  comparatively  few,  and  easily  distinguished 
by  lh"ir  van'inar  drpths  and  forms.  Whether  wholly  or 
partially  nntural  or  arlirici-U,  lie  think.t  it  f.ife  to  con- 
cludL*  tlmt  Ihi'V  have  been  iippropriutwl  by  tin;  Druida  to 
their  rvli^luui)  wur&hip,  na  furnishing  the  mo«na  by  which 
they  could  ofl'er  thoir  Kacriliccs  and  perform  their  ablu- 
tions. They  would  alw  Auflico  for  baptivm,  and  preaervc 
the  niin  or  Uw  dew  from  being  poUoled  by  touching  the 
earth." 

Preraiaing  only  that  my  eeneral  faith  in  the  so- 
called  *'  Dniidicnl  "  is  mucn  on  a  par  with  Betaey 
Trig's  in  the  estimable  Mrs.  Ilnrris,  I  would 
observe  that  the  luo^t  interesting  instance  I  have 
met  with  in  the  way  of  elucidation  or  illuslration 
of  the  enperiicial  cavities  thua  reninrked  on  is  in 
Hylten  Cavallius'  Wtirend  och  Wirtfarnc.  After 
mentioning  the  fact  that,  in  the  hallowed  groves 
of  ancient  Scandinavia,  there  had  been  as  of  ne- 
cessity a  special  site  or  place  for  encrifirial  oflTer- 
ingd  {oJferstaU)t  where  the  formal  paciificial  rilpa 
were  wont  to  be  solemnised,  and  which  site  might 
pasidbly  be  a  spring,  possibly  a  nntural  roek-maaft, 
the  author  just  named  goes  on  to  describe  (with 
the  aid  of  woodcuts  inserted  in  the  text)  three 
sppciftl  sacrifice-slone*  yet  extant  in  the  district  of 
Warend,  S.  Sweden,  and  corresponding  precisely. 
from  the  account  given  of  them,  with  those  uoticea 
by  the  Lancashire  folklore  book  above  quoted;  — 

"  All  thrw  of  them,"  he  fJiys,  "have  sioiilar  <imall 
caviLir*  ruddy  drilli'd  into  tlicin,  two  of  theru  having; 
three  each,  and  the  third  six  Rmall  holes  (from  one  inch 
to  two  deep,  and  the  5auit>  in  diameter),  wurkod  iato 
their  upjicr  and  llattened  uurfacea." 

lie  then  continues:  — 

**  As  to  the  true  inlonllon  of  Iheaa  ^tonee, and  the  smaU 
cavities  in  their  surfnor  (ihe  like  to  wliiih  ore  met  with, 
moreover,  in  the  anri>*nt  sarrififial  <i(ont!^,  or,  as  I  hey  are 
callcil,  'eiant-chamberft*  nf  lk)hm*]Jin),  our  antiquaries 
have  expressed  themselves  with  some  uncertainty.  The 
innniry,  however,  meets  with  its  solution  if  wo  only  pay 
a  little  retiard  to  an  old-fashioned  uas^b  wtiich  main- 
tains itvlf  tn  this  day  in  certain  places  in  Swea  province.

about  two  ioches  long,  drilled  therein,  besides  four  of

the  eommonalt  J  by  the  name  of  '  The  Klf-Btone/  and  the 
women  in  the  sarmunding  dutriot  are  still  in  the  habit,

or  rags  foldi'd  into  form.  The  same  ancient  caatom  pre- 
vails alino  ia  connection  with  the  so-called  eI/-pot  {tlf- 
onfta)^  as  a  cup-shaped  cavity  in  a  mass  of  rock  near 
ijorsaker  Court  (or  farm),  in  Our-Ladykirk  parish, 
near  I^nkuping,  is  called.  The  women  of  the  vicinity 
make  it  a  special  errand  on  Thursday  e\'ening8  *  to  anoint 
for  the  sick '  (smorjafor  yuka)  with  hogs'  lard,  and  then 
to  offer  in  the  elf-pot  a  pin  which  has  oeen  worn  by  the 
^ck  person.**

And  in  every  ^rave  many  fra^ents  of  medieeval 
pottezy  and  traces  of  much  charcoal.    From  time 
to  time  a  piece  of  wrought  flint  or  an  Edward 
coin  tuma  iip.     Not  a  month  since,  two  pieces  of 
ancient  (probably  prc-Roman)  pottery  were  found, 
and  not  long  before  that  a  fragment  of  rock  which 
had  been  broken  just  through  one  of  these  cup- 
aihaped  cavities.    The  pottery,  charcoal,  coins,  all 
give  more  than  a  liint  of  former  burial  notions 
and  usages ;  and  perhaps  the  flint  and  this  broken 
offer-stone  are  to  the  full  as  eigniticant.  In  former 
commuuications  I  have  sought  to  draw  attention 
to   the    extent    to    which   what   are   originally 
ancient  Bacriticial  usages  still  prevail  in  one  or  i 
two  old-world  practices,  and  it  would  be  easy  to  | 
multiply  other  instances  in  which  they  have  pre- 
vailed  until  a  comparatively  recent  period.    At  | 
present  I  only  specify  the  ofiering  of  food  to  i 
Dees;   the  suspension  of  dead  lambs,   or  of  the  | 
amnion  of  the  mare,  in  thorn-trees ;  the  burial  of  , 
the  premature  calf  under  the  threshold  of  the 
oow-hou!fe ;  the  suspension  of  rags  in  the  neigh-  | 
bourhood  of  the  holy  well  ("  Kagwell"  of  Cleve-  I 
land),  or  the  casting  of  pins  into  it;  the  offering  j 
of  the  cream,  or  mess  of  bread  and  milk,  for  the  I 
Brownie   (compare   particularly  the  "Brownie-  j 
atone "  usage  mentioned  by  Martin  in  his  JHwfory 
of  the  Shetland  Isles) ;    and  this  chiefly  in   the  ' 
hope  that  some  amoug  the  many  folklore-loving  | 
leaders  of  "  N.  &  Q."  may  bo  able  to  preserve  | 
yet  further  reminiscences  of  the  same  kind.  |

wife's  sister;  who  was  a  " Pantisomtan  "  dftsiroua 
of  eatablishinff  a  "  frotornal  colony  "  on  tlie  banks 
of  the  S usque n&Quak in  conjunction  with  Southey, 
Coleridge,  and  George  Burnet :  whose  poems  wera 
publi-shed  in  Southey's  first  volume;  and  who, 
catching  a  fever  at  Salisbury  in  17i>0,  and  trnvel- 
linj^  home  hurriedly  in  the  hot  weather  before 
he  had  recovered,  died,  and  left  a  widnw  with 
one  child  (Robert)  witliout  any  provision.  To 
this  boy  Soutbey  was  very  kind.  He  was  a 
quiet  inofTonnive  lad,  and  as  a  man,  discovered 
retined  tastes  in  music  and  arcbitecture.  lie  waa 
fond  of  travelling,  and  about  tho  year  1830,  when 
a  little  over  forty  years  old,  he  left  England  for 
Rome,  and  disappeared  in  a  very  strange  manner. 
Throuu-h  the  Foreign  OlUce  he  was  tracked  to 
Marseillos,  thence  to  Rome, and  back  to  Murseillea, 
wbere  all  trace  of  him  ceased.  The  Rev.  Charles 
Cuthbert  Soutbey  tells  me  the  family  bt;Iieved 
bis  coui+iu  *' was  murdered  in  mistake^';  though 
why  they  should  have  thought  so  1  do  not  know. 
At  any  rate  b«  has  never  bnen  beard  of  since.  I

At  the  date  of  liobert  Southey's  letter,  a  copy 
of  which  is  given  above,  Samuel  Taylor  Colo- 
rid^e  was  living  ^tb  tho  Oilloiaus  at  liighgate, 
and  his  wife  and  three  children  were  in  the  gener- 
ous care  of  Soutbey  at  Keswick.

He  died  there  in  1077,  and  left  to  Mary,  a  daughter

"  liast  Supper,"  done  by  his  pupil,  Marco  d'Og-

uie  figures  seem  to  me  to  be  precisely  the  same  as 
in  Raphael   Morghen's  engraving  of  da  Vinci's 

S'cture,  but  the  table  is  dinerently  dressed ;  thus, 
the  copy  there  are  thirteen  tumblers,  and  in  the 
original  out  eleven.  A^ain,  in  the  copy  the  water 
l>ottle8  are  more  numerous  than,  and  of  a  dif- 
ferent shape  from  those  in  the  original,  nor  are 
the  knives  and  plates  umilarly  arranged  in  both 
j^ctures.  As  the  head  of  Our  Saviour  in  the  copy 
u  said  to  have  been  painted  by  da  Vinci  himself, 
I  would  ask  if  it  is  Imown  whether  the  variations 
in  the  copy  were  made  with  the  sanction  of  the 
great  nainter  of  the  original  picture  ?  and  in  short, 
why  tnere  are  differences  between  the  two  pic- 
tures, and  if  there  was  any  intended  meaning  in 
these  difiTerences  ?  I  cannot  find  aA  account  of 
the  original  picture  sufficiently  detailed  to  give  me 
the  information  I  seek.  Is  Ltonardo  or  Leonardo

Ur  op  the  CnALDERS. — Why  U  the  -vrord 
Dne'D,  in  Gunesu  xi.  28,  31,  rendered  Chaldees? 
If  there  is  no  pufficient  auUiority  for  thw  ren- 
dering, it  would  seem  mora  correct  to  look  for 
the  site  of  Ur,  the  settlement  of  Abran»"s  pro- 
genitors, near  Cir-wMa-iR,  the  Cfiu-co5-us,  nnd  the 
d^-piau;  sfty  in  Armenia:  more  Rinong  the 
Kurdtfj  anciently  CtirJuchii.  \,  {\, 

[To  our  correspondent's  inquiry  why  the  word  in 
question  is  rendered  Chaldees,  we  can  only  reply  that 
thii  Rjipean  to  have  been  the  generally  received  rcn- 
dcring  ever  since  the  Bible  began  to  he  translated.  If 
inde&l  he  will  turn  to  Bngslcr's  Polyglot  Bible,  he  will 
there  llud  the  original  Scripturra  with  seren  trnn)d.itionB, 
and  in  alt  «evoa,  aocieul  as  well  as  modem,  either  the 
nndcriag  Chaldecs.  or  its  equivalent  in  the  several  lan- 
piimes  employed.  And  whatever  may  have  bicn,  la 
Abram't  days,  the  residence  of  the  Cbaldees  or  the 
position  of  Ur,  we  well  know  that  the  term  Clialdejins 
was,  in  a  more  advanced  period  of  Old-Tc-tann-nt  his- 
tory, applied,  ns  r«marlicd  by  Kitto,  to  inhabitanU  of 
Bal'vlon  and  subjects  of  the  Babylonian  kingdom. 

Still,  bo wc^-rr,  it  ought  to  bu  mentioned  that  it  has 
Iwea  speculatively  conjectnml,  in  accordance  with  our 
correspondent's  auggcntion,  that  the  Cbnldcca  were  ab- 
criijlMHy  a  mountain  race,  dwelling  in  the  Cardticblon 
mouDtaina.  And  If  this  conjecture  is  to  be  received  aa 
craUible,  it  Is  not  impoMiUv  that  these  mouutaina  mav 


hare  bi»n  the  identical  '*  Ur  of  t1t«  Cbahkes  **  frnn  wbicli 
Abram  came  forth. 

Wc  bftvc  failed  to  discover  that  the  uid  cocjectai

But  I  tind  Abel  lioyer,  liiiu&elf  a  Frenchman^

ing the  world  to  prove  that  it  had  any  existence 
in  French.  To  that  challenge  neither  Defoe  nor 
any  one  else  replied.  My  only  reward  for  this 
part  of  my  labours  was  ihn  fact  that  M.  Me^iuager 
died  in  the  autumn  of  1714.  This  was  of  scn'ioo 
in  the  analysU  of  the  book.

(p.  80),  that  the  immediata  occasion  of  the 
French  Uiii;^'a  seudia^  him  to  Ivondou  was  the 
death  of  the  Earl  of  Kochester,  uncle  of  Qaeen 
Anne;  yet  he  states  afterwards  (p.  07)  that, 
soon  after  be  arrived  in  London,  Count 
Gui»card  attempted  to  aasnsaioHte  8ir  Robert 
Uarlev.  That  att<«uipt  was  on  March  19,  1711  ; 
but  the  Earl  of  Kocheater  did  not  die  until 
May  3  followinj?,  being  the  samo  day  on  which 
Hnrley  made  his  first  appearance  in  Pfirlinment 
afttir  ibe  attack  on  his  life.  At  p.  4  the  writer 
speaks  of  the  King  of  France  as  dead,  yet  he  lived 
a  full  year  after  the  death  of  Meana^er.  In  Uko 
manner  1  iind  him  (pp.  41-43)  speaking  of  Queen 
Anne  as  deceased^  yet  she  lived  until  Meana^r 
died.  Again,  pp.48,  61,  63,  6.3,  refer  to  cir- 
cumstances connected  with  the  l^rl  of  Oxford 
which  did  not  occur  until  long  after  the  docoaae 
of  Mesnager. 

After  the  above  annchronisma,  out  of  many 
more,  I  need  not  enlarge  upon  the  incredibility 
that  the  diplomat  of  a  great  nation,  who  had  been 
80  secretly  employed,  would  come  publicly  for- 
ward in  his  own  person,  ao  soou  afterwardi*,  while 
those  immediately  concerned  with  him  herein 
were  anxiously  destroying  every  vestig:©  of  such 
negotiations,  and  would,  without  the  least  re- 
serve, t«ll  all  his  Bpcreta  to  the  world.  The  reader 
will  be  able  to  decide  whether  or  not  the  book 
was  '*  Written  by  himself,"  and  if  it  was  "  Done 
out  of  French.'' 

II.  Its  authenticity.  Does  it  give  a  triie  ac- 
count ;  or,  is  it  partly  or  wholly  fictitious  ? 

The  most  considerable  and  important  parts  of 
the    book    consist   of    the    intercourse   )>«tw«en 

Mesnager  and  one  designated  '*  ray  Lord  ." 

Their  interviews  wore  froqnent,  of  long  con- 
tinuance, and  their  dialoffUR^are  ffivon  as  verbally 
as  if  taken  by  a  Bliortuand  wnter.  Who  waIb 
"my  Lord  ''?  These  meetings  had  com- 
menced on  April  11,  1711,  and  contmucd,  with  a 
abort  intermission,  until  September  20  in  the 
aame  year,  before  any  other  member  of  the  Queen's 
Ministry  took  part  in  the  proceeding*.  That  no 
other  than  Lord  Bolingbroke  was  intended  is 
evident  fn>m  history.  Ilis  otlice  as  Secretary  of 
State  ;  the  peculiar  relations  between  himself  und 
the  E&ri  oi  Oxford ;  the  order  of  the  Regency. 
imuiudiatoly  after  the  Queen's  death,  that  i^l 
letters  and  uackets  directed  to  the  Secretary  of 
State  should  be  sciit  by  the  Podtmaster-Ueneral 
to  Joseph  Addiaon,  K-m.  ;  the  seizing  fuid  bealing 
of  his  otticiftl  papers;  the  discovery  that,  nuiongat 
otiiers,  all  those  relating  to  the  secret  negotiations 
with  the  French  plenipotentiary,  with  one  or  two 
oxceplions,  wcra  missing;  the  proceedings  and 
report  of  the  Committee  tif  Secrosy,  and  the 
eub»-t>queut  articles  of  impeachmeut,  after  his 
cocsipe  to  France — all  comhino  to  prove  that  he 
waa  "uiv  Lord  ."     Yet  it  does  not  tell  in 


favour  of   the    authenticity  of  MmmU»  of 
Nt'ifotialfOHs  of  Mvntr.  Mrmm^tr,  1717,  that  Uu 

wnter,  able  profewedly  to  give  the  converwitio?i»j 
in  1711,  above  referred  to,  word  for  word,  did  notj 

happen  to  remember  that  "  my  Lord "  w*ll 

only  plain  Mr.  St.  John  until  July  4,  1712.     Naj 
one  wtis  present  at  these  aeoret  interviews  but  thttj 
two  persona  concerned  ;  and  if  either  had 
out  the  dialoguoa  imracdistely  afterward,  whilt 
memory  wa^  fresh,  the  words  "my  I.fOrd — — *" 
could  not  po»sibly  nave  been  used. 

When  events  in  Knglnnd  seemed  to  xro  a« 
King  of  France  wished,  Mesnager  is  made  tu  sa^ 
(p.   104) :  *'  The  King  was  so  surprised,  thst  h« 
wgan  to  think  it  was  the  elTect  of  my  Mcrtt 
management."    lU  disclaims  the  praise,  and  say^ 
"  Nor  had  I  so  much  as  made  any  of  my  acrjuaini 
ance  yet  in  Kugland,  much  leas  begun  anv  ns- 
gotiation."     Yei  in  other  parts  of  the  booa  bu 
declares  that  be  did  nothing  but  what  the  Kit" 
had  previously  directed,  nnd  that  every  trnneactic 
was  immedintely  afterward  reported  by  him  ' 
the  King. 

Time  and  space  forbid  my  multiplying 
instances  of  inaccuracy  and  laconsisterr"' 
must  therefore  eufHco  to  aay,  und^r 
that  the  writer  appears  to  have  obta.t-.;

ORD  MACAIILAT  AND  PLAGIARISM  t 
(4»»'  S.  It.  658.) 
t  remarks  of  Mr.  J.  Wtlkfus,  B.C.L.,  sor- 
me.  The  principle  of  "suum  cuique"  is 
taficd  by  Mr.  W.  (somewhat  sweeping'ly)  to 
K  '*  writingi  of  Maeaulay,"  which  of  courae  in- 
»o4e  IfijtorT,  Reviews,  Talcs,  Easavs,  Bio- 
**  ' "  md  Poetry.  However,  as  Mk.  VVilkins 
H  proofs  to  the  Dallnds,  I  have  tumetl 
'f^vrin  'ijily.  But  before  allowinp  Macaulay  to 
Hbficown  counsel,  I  must  say  that  Mr.  VV.  has 
^  peculiarly  unfortunate  in  hu*  two  examples, 
'here  /  can  trace  neither  "coincidences"  nor 
tkIji.n»M..ni6."  But  let  that  pass.  I  now  beg  to 
the  consideration  of  Mr.  WitKiTrs  the 
^  eitracts,  Ac.  They  show  the  "prin- 
^lic"  after  which  Mocaulay  wrote  his  noble 
^Uda,  and  in  what  sense  (if  any)  he  can  be 
^Uod  a  •'  plagiarist "  or  copyist : — 
**  It  wouM  t>av*  bwn  obviously  imprDper  to  mimio  thft 
iHmr  of  any  particular  a^je  or  coittitry,  SoinytliinB 
It  beeA  (forfi>w*d,  however, /n^n  our  ovn  old  balladsy

our  bnlhitl-imetry.  To  the  Iliad  atill  greater  obligAlions 
are  due." — Pre&co  to  Lajft  of  Ancient  Romt, 

The  aixty-aecond  stanza  of  **  Horatius"  is  para- 
whradcd  from  a  line  in  the  old  ballad  of  "  Cliilde 
WiUers,"  and  from  four  lines  in  Scott's  •*  I*ay  of 
the  l>a3t  Minstrel "  ;  and,  so  for  is  Macaulay  de- 
i*L^^u^.  ^^  palming  on  his  ruadera  the  idena  of 
other*  iw  his  own,  that  he  actually — true  to  hia 
'*  principle,"  appends  the  originals  In  a  note  !  la 
the  preface  to  "Tho  liattle  of  the  Lake  Re- 
gillus,"  occur  the  following'  passages:  — 

"In  an  age  of  ballod-poctry,  it  scarcely  ever  falls  to 
liappen,  that  cvrtaia  ptinuea  oome  to  b«  appropriated  to 
certain  men  and  thinen,  and  are  rcgulimr  applied  to 
those  men  and  thingx  by  every  minstrfl.  'I^ius  tre  find, 
botb  in  tho  Flumeric  poems  and  in  Ilt-niud,  3Jti  'HpaNATf«ii7,

irvSos  &hBTt,  'JiAfVijj  (ttH  i}9K6fioto.  Thus,  too,  in  onr

**  It  is  unnecoseary  to  point  otu  the  obrtoas  imitations 
of  the  lUftil,  which  have  been  purposely  introduced." 

■\Vhat  I  thus  place  before  Mr.  \Vilki:«s  oncht, 
I  think,  to  have  been  well  considered  by  nim 
before  he  launched  his  charge  of  ''plagiarism" 
against  Macuulny. 

We  possess  some  admirable  modem  ballads  by 
Leyden,  Scott,  Southey,  Finlay,  Hogg,  Surteea, 
Mrs.  Uowitt,  Telfer,  and  others,  for  the  list 
might  be  considerably  extended.  The  excellence 
of  the  compositions  of  the  above  boUadists  and 
their  popularity  result  in  a  great  degree  from 
imitation,  or  wnat  Mr.  W.  calls  "  plagiarism.'' 

They  made  use  of  stereotyped  phrases  and 
modes  of  expression  that  are  found  iu  every 
genuine  old  ballad,  whether  it  l>e  Scandinavian, 
English,  or  Scotch.  Without  mich  plagiarism, 
an  author  may  produce  a  pretty  poem  and  call  it 
a  ballad  ;  but  it  will  nut  be  a  genuine  one  such 
as  old  miuHtrcla  chanted  in  "castle  ball"  and 
"  ladyo'a  bower "  or  under  the  "  green-wood 
tree.'^*  James  Henbt  Dixox.

would  judj:\'  of  him  fur  more  favoumhlv,  Tim

I  fliiuply  termed  them  "  the  Devil's  iimrtvrt 

'  their  chronicler  has  been  dealt  with  ac^orJa 
hut    I  think  very  unjustly^  by  partisan 
such  iw  Dr.  Maitland. 

Of  Foxe'a  iir»t  volume  I  aay  nnthinp :  it  u 
mere  compilation,  j^ot  up  with  HttU'  iT:al  Icami 
and  thorou^'h  one-^ideancss.  ills  second  '' 
more  value  to  inquirers;  but  the  only  part 
work  of  real  iniporluDce  *i8  his  third  to' 
which  treats  of  the  Marinn  peraeoutiou — aii  ^\vw 
uf  hia  own  time  ;  autl  concerning  thi^,  1  belio 
iJuraet'a  judgment,  partiitan  aa  he  too  doabtles* 
waa,  to  be  a  very  well  founded  one :

Wm'WFcx)  ••upon  flying  rcporM,  hn   mnde  »niae 
takes,  b^g  too  crc'luhiiis :  but  ....  I  never  eouZ4 
in  bim  any  prevarication,  or  an  much  as  a  doaigHMl 
cealment.     Ue  tells  the  gorxl  and  the  bad,  the  nptkn 
and  ibc  passion,  as  well  aa  the  constancy  and  paLieiicik,  of 
those  good  men." 

Hia  language  is,  wo  know,  w  vehement  %n\  hi* 
temperate  as  that  of  Pai-snns  and  Sanders  on  th« 
other  side.     Kut  to  the  cbar^  of  mendacity  he  Uj 
certunly  not  liable.     Does  he  exa^rgerate  iis  lolbaj 
number  of  the  men  and  women  burnt  in  Mary 'a  I 
reipiP    By   calculation    from    his   list,    they  aivl 
reckoned  at  2t<4 ;  while  other  Prot<»alaut^  such  as 
Grindal,  talk  of  80<3.     Littgnrd,  who  p^^rfuroicd 
the   functions  of  Devil's  advocate  apain*t  their 
canoni^tiou,  admits  "almost  1*00."     LKj^-s  \w  ex- 
aggerate the  severities  inflicted  on  them?    That 
would  not  bo  easy.     But  it  ia  remarkable  bow 
very  little  mejitii»n  his  pai'ca  contaiu  of  neb  of 
wanton  cruelty  on  the  part  of  the  perBeculori; 
and  how  constantly— in  the  well-known  tTWs,  fnt 
example,  of  Kidley  and  Hooper — he  iiscribe*  iks 
unusual  eufleriug  of  the  victims,  not  to  delibmUa 
iuteutiou,  but  to  accident  cr  the  awkwnnhi'-'*  w 
the  executioners,     Aud  the  tiingularai' 
like  simplicity  which  he  ibrowa  over  \ 
majority  of  his  namxtivea  carriea  tho  coavicUJi 
of  authenticity  on  the  face  of  it. 

One  thing  is  to   be    remembered    in    ■ 
Foxe  — that  many  of  his  detailed  nccoui 
dividual  cares  were  derived  from  ] 
the  sutierera  and  furni^lied  him  by  i 
or  from  traditional    family  acc"ui<: 
tho  tjanie  way.     But  this  he  ttik* 
instance  plainly  to  state;  so  that  1 1. 
make  his  own  allowances.     Of  cour

propumided  the  notion  that  tlie  ancient  Briton^ 
t>eiu^  without  Te«i»ela  of  any  kind  to  hold  water^ 
grouped  themselves  by  the  nmrgina  of  running 
streams  to  which  they  were  limited  by  the  necea- 
ffltiea  of  their  condition.  By-and-hv  they  made 
themselves  vessels  of  ruahee,  whicn  saved  the 
awkwardness  of  lapping  the  water  with  their 
bauds.  This  expedient,  however^  Afforded  only 
temporary  relief ;  for  the  water  and  all,  it  may  be 
supposed,  save  the  larger  animalculn,  escaped 
through  the  crevices.  In  a  lucky  moment,  one 
more  knowing  than  the  rest  conceived  the  idea 
of  lining  the  inside  of  the  vessels  with  wrought 
clay,  by  wbich  thev  were  enabled  to  penetrate  to 
the  interior.  Whether  this  archaic  di:iCuverer 
protected  hia  inyentiou  by  letters  patent  does  not 
appear. 

Ten  years  ago,  it  would  seem,  CmvBM  moved 
"a  rocking  stone'"  with  "  one  linger"!  Who 
knows  but  that,  through  this  simple  circumstance, 
be  may  have  been  the  innocent  occasion  of  the 
unworthy  proooeding  on  the  part  of  the  j»ersoiifl 
complftined  of.*  who,  with  the  like  di.sjK»aition  tO 
banale,  though  not  in  his  appreciative  mood, 
regarded  these  venerable  remainH  as  '*  Peter 
Bell "  did  the  primrose — posdibly  as  excresoencea 
which  it  was  the  business  of  an  **  Improvement 
Oompanj'  "  to  remove  ?  1  am  not  aware  that  im- 
provement rampanios  have  goiemlly  rendered 
themselves  famous  as  conservators  df  archaic  re- 
mains, but  rather  "  like  tlio  anarcbists  of  Kurope, 
who  destroy  ererytbin|.'  within  their  reach  uy 
wav  of  puttiu|z  everything  in  order." 

•tbe  men  of  Wales,  like  "  the  men  of  Scotland, 
appear  tn  be  short  of  speech  when  going  into 
tight,  neither  indeed  wasting  manv  words  upon 
peaceable  occasions.'*  The  '*  Sbignom "  of  the 
Mackenzics,  Montagu  tells  us,  was  ''  Tulloch- 
dar  '* ;  that  of  the  Omnta  "  Craig  KUachie,"  "  as

Macphxeson's  "Ossiah"  (4**  S.  v.  83.)— In  an  ; 
article  on  one  William  Lauder,  which  appears  in  , 
"  N.  &  Q."  as  above,  the  following  words  occur : 
*'  Another    literary   charlatan,    Macpheraon,    of 
Ottian  notoriety." 

As  an  Engubhman,  and  therefore  free  from 
Scottish  prejudices  in  tiie  matter,  and  as  one  who  , 
pwes  much  to  the  poems  of  Ossian,  I  desire  to 
protest  against  the  astounding  impertinence  that 
can  make  such  a  charge  a<)  this,  and  make  it  too  I 
incidentally  and  par  parewth^K^  us  if  it  were  a  ' 
settled  thing  that  James  Macpherson  was  a  mere 
fon;er  like  W .  H.  Ireland  or  like  Simonides. 

I  am  no  fit  champion  of  that  "  so  strange  and  j 
heterodite  a  mortal,    as  David  Hume  ctfHed  Mac-  j 
person ;   nor  have  I  time  or  skill  to  reopen  (if  j 
that  be  possible)  the  Ossianic  controversy.    But 
Macpherson's  Ossian  is  cither  genuine  or  it  is  not. 
If  the  poems  are  genuine,  or  even  partly  genuine  I 
and  touched  up  by  Macpherson  as  the  Reliqties  ' 
were   touched   up  in  the  same   era  by  Percy, 
then  Macpherson  was,  at  worst,  no  more  a  char-  j 
latan  than  the  bishop,  whom  not  even  the  biogra-  | 
pher  of  William  Lauder,  I  presume,  would  venture 
to  call  by  such  a  name.    If,  on  tiie  other  hand, 
the  Ossian  poems  were  ori^al,  then  Macpherson, 
a«  their  author,  is  entitled  to  rank  certainly  not 
lower  than  Ohattertoo.     And  I  should  like  (as 
schoolboys  say)  to  see  the  man  who  would  airily 
put  down  "  another  literary  charlatan,  Chatterton, 
of '  Rowley'  notoriety." 

Macpherson's  Ossian^  as  all  will  remember,  was 
the  favourite  companion  wherever  he  went  of 
Napoleon  Buonaparte.  Aethur  J.  Mttnbt. 

A  MsDi-BVAL  Fakmhoitse  (4'*"  S.  V.  18.)— I 
suppose  it  is  too  late  to  protest  against  the  bar- 
barism of  recutting  the  date  (1457),  which,  wo 
ftre  told,  "  appeared  very  plainly."  If  recut  the 
fltone  will  as  an  evidence  of  course  be  worthless.

NOTES  AND  QUERlTEG. 


t4«kS.V.  Kltfcl2,7a 


That  a  crab  is  poisoDoii5^  is  en  expre^<ion  hy  no 
means  peculiar  to  Hamsfratc.  It  i^  sutd  (o  be  so 
all  alon^  both  the  euat  and  we«t  connta  of  Scot- 
land, wbert)  by  the  word  crab  is  undcrLStood  the 
little  green  crab  which  children  often  ciilch  rua- 
ning  aloc^  the  sand,  and  wliicb  iu  many  \t\actni 
they  call  a  "  Harry-*rab."  Tha  Harry-enib  does 
uot  iouk  nicef  and  is  not  eaten,  thuu^h  I  do  not 
koow  that  it  is  actually  poisonous.  The  common 
edible  crab  is  called  in  Scotland  a  "partnu" — a 
word  of  wha'e  oripin  I  am  ignorant.  As  to  the 
wordytm^wr,  I  would  point  out  that  *uch  a  Apell- 
ing  is  contrary  to  the  cuptom  of  Knplish  ortho- 
graphy and  pronunciation,  according  t*^  which 
gnr  is  a  syllable  vranting  a  vowel ;  guer.  or  qtmr, 
would  be  more  correct.  And  I  would  su^'jrest 
that  it  ia  probably  allied  to  the  German  junker, 
which  iu  its  origin  as  jvug-hcrr  was  a  soil  of 
secondary  title  of  nobilit}',  and  may  have  been 
given  by  seafaring  folk,  in  a  half-jesting  way,  to 
the  liner  species  of  a  commoo  fish.  S.  H.  M. 

Blewitt,  Paurt,  Whttakeb  (4**  S.  iv.  450, 
1*61.)  —  It  is  much  to  be  lamented  that  this 
country  possesses  no  reliable  bio;rniphical  dic- 
tionary 01  musician?.  The  two  works  wo  have 
— dated  1814  and  1824 — are  me:e  compilations 
from  ordinary  sourceSp  abounding  iu  errors  tf 
every  description.  Kveu  if  the  latter  work  was 
tolerably  good,  as  far  as  the  period  it  embraced, 
wo  should  still  be  deficient  in  our  kno^led^e  of 
the  musical  men  of  the  last  forty  years.  With 
all  our  present  sources  of  information,  it  is  much 
to  be  wislied  that  some  new  work  should  be 
undertaken,  giving  really  good  and  accurate  in- 
formation as  to  the  musical  men  of  old,  and  all 
tliat  can  bo  learnt  about  those  of  recent  times. 

Cocceming  the  muslciaDs  whoso  names  are 
placed  at  the  head  of  this  commnnicatioo,  1  have 
the  following  scrape  in  my  MS.  obituary  :  — 

JorTATHAN  Blewitt — for  so  he  wa.s  christened, 
although  ho  called  himself  John — was  the  god- 
son of  Jonathan  Haltishill,  the  celebrated  organist 
and  composer.  I  became  acquainted  with  him  in 
1821),  when  ho  was  musical  director  at  the  Surroy 
Theatie.  He  had  great  facility  in  composition,  and 
wrote  well  fur  the  orchestra.  Ho  was  a  capital 
melodist  and  on  excellent  organist.  JI-j  was  toud 
of  good  living,  and  would  neglect  his  profe^ion 
for  enjoyment.  Latterly  he  took  to  hard  djiok- 
ing,  and  died  in  great  poverty  Sept.  4,  1853,  aged 
MTenty-two. 

JoHif  Parry  was  tha  father  of  the  clever  buffo 
singer  of  the  aamo  name.  A  long  biographv  of 
this  musician  ia  given  in  the  Biographuai  Dtr- 
fiomttf/  of  Musician*,  lbi4,  contributed  by  him- 
»»)lf.  Ho  was  for  inanv  y^ars  the  treaaurer  of  the 
"  Royal  iSociety  of  M^iwicians,"  and  aecretary  to 
thr'*'!  ■  .^i-U  Club,"  founded  in  1824.  He  took 
^t  It  in  the  formation  of  the  "Society  of 


British  Musicians'';  and  in  the  latter  put  of  bit; 
life  filled  the  post  of  mu  ' 
Times,     I  knew  him  iii!ii 

the  period  of  his  decease,  n'.  u.-u  .\^nu  ,-,  i-^'^^ 
afieti  seveuty-pix.  His  last  publiculiun  waa  tbo 
WtUh  Hai'pa*^  iu  two  volumes,  184.S — a  valuabla 
contribution  to  the  music  of  his  country. 

Joes  Whitaker  was  a  composer  of  ballad*, 
some  of  which  ac(|uir«il  a  large  share  of  popu- 
larity. He  took  port  (jointly  with  Sir  Hf 
Hishop)  in  the  composition  of  Guy  Mtm 
The  I'cir  of  J'trotia,  and  other  miwieal 
produced  with  success  at  Covent  Garden  in  1916 
nnd  1817.  He  held  the  post  of  muMcal  director 
at  the  Surrey  Theatre  for  some  years-  I  knew 
him  in  18.'»0,  when  he  rcadedin  St'ruul's  Church- 
yard as  partner  in  the  music  firm  of  But^?n  and 
WhltttUer.  He  was  organist  of  one  of  tnt>  City 
churches,  and  died  in  povurtv  Pec.  4,  1h4.h,  aged 
seventy-one.  He  was  burie<l  by  a  private  «ub-

80.) — It  U  obvious  that  thid  inacriptiou,  if  C<J" 
rectly  ct)pied,  has  been  incorrectly  cut.     It  oii?M 
to  consist  of  a  hexameter  and  penUtin 
which   it  is  easy  to  aee  that  the  readi 
incomplete  word  is  DEVa,  not  mvs;  iliA' 
is  an  error,  poi*sibly  for  stthvenit^  and  ' 
monosylhiblo,  such  as  cui,  ha3  been  oniiUy^l.   * 
would  read — 

"  rrimos  adam  sic  prusit  ndam,  salTot  doti*  llluli, 
rCul]  suAvenit  adam,  ijuorc  refftctut  siIaid.*' 

The   word   adam  is  used  iu  three  senses,  tU 
Adam,  a  man  named  Adam,  and  OhrisL    PitJ^ 
from  the  hint  I  have  aunplie'i,  pomo  one  of

If  thia  new  Eneliah-Latin  DIotionarj  bad  not  been 
foand  what  ita  authors  intended  to  produce,  namely,  a 
nlbre  complete  and  perfect  Dictionary  than  tiaa  hitherto

Qk  fact  tliat  upwards  of  two*thirds  of  the  work  has  been 
executed  three  times  over.  To  enaore  the  pertinency  of 
the  examples,  it  wan  necessary*  to  use  special  care  in  the 
veritiraliiin  of  references;  and  this  entailed  an  amount 
of  labour  upon  the  authors  which  con  only  be  e^imatcd 
by  those  who  have  undertaken  similar  work.  It  is  im- 
p04«ible,  in  the  ffpace  at  our  dinpoaa).  tbnt  we  can  do 
more  tlmn  point  out  some  of  the  features  by  which  the 
Dictionary  is  specially  disUnj^ished.  In  the  fir^t  place, 
great  paiiu  have  boon  taken  in  classifying  the  dillVrent

Harlequin,  who  takea  tho  lend  with  a.^,  is  said 
by  Leasing  to  be  derived  from  tho  ancient  mimus, 
CentuncuJuB,  who  wore  a  simiJur  pfirticotoured 
or  pntcliwork  dress.  He  was  not  originally  the 
mere  dancing,  Bkipplng,  and  dumb  puntomimic 
hero  that  he  ia  now  with  us  (Rich,  ourtirst  Harle- 
quin, is  said  to  have  been  most  eloquent  in  his 
Santomimic  gcBtures),  bat  waa  a  wit  and  a 
umorist,  end  sometimes  a  saucy  one.  Witness 
what  we  are  told  of  Carlini  (who  was  a  favourite 
Ilnrlequia  for  forty-two  years),  Cecchini  (who 
wrote  a  book  on  tho  subject,  and  was  ennobled  by 
the  Emperor  Matthias),  Florion,  Sncchi,  Dominic, 
and  others.  The  stor)*  of  Louis  XIV.  and  the 
partridges  is  told  of  the  last.  Tho  birds  were  on 
H  silver  dish  :  "Qive  that  dish  to  Dominic/  saya 
the  monarch;  "  And  the  birds .^ "  says  the  crafty 
actor. 

It  has  been  stated  that  Harlequin  was  intro- 
duced into  Italy  as  an  offshoot  of  the  ancient 
mimes  in  the  fourteenth  ceDtiLr_v,and  degenerated 
into  a  blundering  servant  and  butt  of  a  character 
colled  Brighella.  Ho  was  improved  by  Goldoni, 
and  tirat  became  a  wit  in  France  (Oirioa,  Liifr, 
iii.,  15, 10),  where  he  was  appnrently  a  lending 
theatrical  character  as  far  back  as  the  time  of 
Henry  IV.,  as  Tallemont  dea  R^Jtux  (//i>/onW/«, 
1-24)  gives  au  anecdote  of  Arlequin  and  bis  com- 
pany cumioff  to  Paris  in  the  time  of  tliis  popular 
monarch.  On  going  to  pay  bis  respects,  lie  took 
possession  of  the  seat  from  whicn  Henry  bad 
risen,  and  addrewing  him  as  if  he  was  the  king, 
said,  "  Well,  Arlequin,  you  have  come  here  witii 
your  company  to  divert  mo;  I  am  well  pleased, 
and  promise  to  protect  you,  and  rive  you  sufficient 
pension."  The  king  now  thougut  it  time  to  in- 
terfere, and  cried  out,  "Hnlafyou  have  played 
my  part  long  enough,  let  me  undertake  it  myself 
now,"  An  anecdote  of  one  of  our  English  actors 
is  told  of  Carlini  when  acting  before  a  small 
audience.  The  Columbine  spoke  low  to  bim, 
when  ho  said,  "Parlez  pltia  liaut,  nons  soromea 
entre  nous,  et  personno  ne  nous  (Scoute."  Tho 
origin  of  the  name  of  Harlequin,  from  n  young 
actor  of  tho  lime  of  Henry  III.  of  France,  so 
called  from  his  having  been  received  into  the 
hou^  of  the  President  Achilles  do  Hnrlai,  or 
from  Hurlemayue'emeyntfCawildFetby-tbe-bve), 
can  scarcely  be  maintained,  relliscr,  in  his  hi*-* 
torical  Efsny  on  the  Drama  in  *S/;ni'n,  mentions  a 
company  of  Italiau  comedians  at  Mndrid  in  lo74, 
whose  founder  and  mnnnger  was  Alberto  Gsn- 
asfn.  Amongst  other  characters  were  Arlequin, 
Pantaleone,  and  tbeOoctor.  TheyoccftMonnllv  had 
puppets  and  rope-dancers,  and  nmong  tho  Intter 
was  A  monkey,  a  rival  to  the  equestrian  monkeys 
now  nt  the  ilolbom  Circus.  Riccoboni,  in  his 
enprnving  of  **  Ilabil  d'Arlcquiu  ancieu '*  (ilis- 
toira  du  ifUdire  iiaiien),  depicts  him  in  a  close 
jacket,   with  short  akirts,  end  tight  pantaloons 


ftxtcndiug  over  bid  feet  to  the  toes.    There  are 

Eatcbefi  ou  the  dress  of  difForent  colours,  ua  Kicco- 
oni  mcnUous  bis  particolourc.l  dress  and  nhnven 
bead  tnkeii  fn^ni  the  nncieut  mimes.  lie  has  a 
seuii-trAnapiirenthftlf-mnslCjAcnp.and  awnnd.  Tlie 
"  Habit  d'ArIe<iuin  modertic  "  is  nearly  the  wiiae. 
Though  regular  Hiirlefitiiiimles  -were  first  intro- 
duced into  Enfiland  by  Kich,  yet  the  charActer  of 
Harlequin  and  olhera  of  the  soino  etnrap  wcry 
known  lonjr  before  hifl  time.  Nash,  in  the  dedi- 
cation tobifi  Almond  for  a  Parrot,  calls  iho  faniou? 
Clown  Kempe  a  **  Ilarlecjuin,"  meaning  a  speak- 
ing Tlarlequiii,  such  as  lie  bad  seen  when  abroad. 
In  one  of  the  skotcbe^  of  Xui^"-o  Jones  for  the 
masque  of  Tlte  Forttmate  IsUf,  prepared  for 
Twelfth  Night  at  Court,  1G20,  printed  by  the 
Hhahespeare  Society.  thLro  is  a  character  called 
Harlequin  for  the  Mountebank,  dressed  in  loose 
troupers,  and  white  dress  with  long  sleeves,  like 
the  modern  Searamouch.  An  Italian  Harlequin 
\h  introdured  in  TVm?  Trarailes  of  the  Tfirec  EiujUih 
Sroth^:*,  1(K)7.  In  Limberham,  by  l>rvdcn,  1078, 
Woodall,  in  the  first  scene,  says  '*  1  speak  no 
Italian,  only  a  few  broken  scraps,  which  I  picked 
from  Scaramouch  and  Uarlequm  ct  Paris  ;"  nnd, 
in  the  prologue  to  Th^  Spartan  Dame,  by 
Suuthenie,  nbout  170-J,  be  is  referred  to  as  tho 
"faceliovis  Harlequin."  In  Harletan  MS.  Tja'H 
there  is  a  quAck  doctor's  bill  of  1707,  with  a 
wnodcut  of  the  doctor,  nnd  his  Merrv  Andrew 
with  a  monkey.  The  Merry  Andrew  is  dressed 
in  a  patchwork  suit  xcry  Idee  our  Harlequin  ; 
and  there  is  an  adroitisement,  of  about  the  same 
date,  of  an  entertaimneiit,  comprising  amongst 
other  things  a  dance  between  a  Scaramouch,  a 
Harlequin,  and  a  rmichinellu,  in  iiuitatioa  of 
linking  a  Jirvkom/it/.  j 

The  firftt  Harlequinade  by  Rich  (who  performed 
under  the  name  of  Lun)  was  in  1717.  at  the 
theatre  in  I^incoln's  Inn  l''ielda,  called  2ittr[<yum  , 
KcectUed.  Rich  wiw  famous  for  his  taste  in  com-  ' 
posing  these  entertainments,  nnd  his  skill  as  Har- 
lequin, in  which  character  ho  nourished  till  1701, 
and  all  his  productions  succeeded.  Oiirrick,  in 
1750,  brought  out  an  opposition  pantomime, 
called  Qw>(7t  Mab,  in  wbich  tbe  celebrated  come- 
dian WiHidward  was  Horlequin,  and  it  was  suc- 
cessful. Pickens,  in  his  Memoirs  ofOrivuiUIi,  stales 
that  previous  to  1800  tbe  dreiw  of  Harlequin  was 
a  loose  jneket  and  trousers,  andthftt  the  performer 
was  continually  standing  in  one  of  the  live  posi- 
tions, but  when  Harkqutn  Amulet  was  performed 
at  Drury  Lane,  in  Christmas,  170i),  Byrne,  the 
celebrated  dancer  and  Harlequin,  introduced  now 
Attitudes  and  iunips,  and  the  present  dre.as. 

It  is  dilliruU  t<»  give  the  origin  of  that  impor- 
tant character  the  Clown.  A  Clown  p*>r  $e  waa 
no  doubt  known  in  the  earliest  dramatic  r  pre- 
HODtfttious,  prior  probably  to  the  lEomim  Jorns 
or  Momus.     Muutfaucon  gives  a  repre^atAtion 


of  a  mask  or  head  of  Jocua,  not  unlike  the>  bead 
of  n  meditcval  jester,  with  a  folded  cap  nnd  twa 
long  lappetf.  The  character  gradually  worked 
down  to  the  early  Italian  dramas  or  mysteries 
which  seem  to  have  abounded  in  comic  characters. 
In  many  of  our  early  mviiteries  there  was  a  Vic« 
or  some  similar  buffoon  introduced,  and  snmv 
gross  ribaldry  even  in  the  most  sacred  subjccti, 
such  as  in  tbe  mystery  of  the  Crucifixion,  &<:■» 
It  waa  the  .same  in  the  (^Icrman  mysteries  of  th« 
Hfteenth  century,  where  a  character  like  thelp 
Hans  Wurst  is  occasionally  introduced,  but  thes«i 
were  all  differcut  from  our  pantomime  Clown. 
These  old  dmmalic  Clowns  were  contiuued  longr 
after  the  time  of  l^hakspeare,  who  '  'icrd 

them  in  several  of  bis  plavs,  and  V  Ir^jb 

is  said  to  have  been  m  Shadwn  »  OMrn'M 
Cofttain,  1G80,  nearly  forty  years  before  Itich'l 
finit  pantomime.  The  pantomime  Clown's  dreM, 
the  particolonred  suit  and  cap,  have  >ome  atfinity 
to  thase  of  the  ancient  fool.  If  we  could  have 
before  us  the  plot  or  ground  plan  of  Rich's  first 
Ilarlequiuado,  we  might  perhaps  get  nome  insight 
into  the  nature  of  the  Ck>wn  then  iulroduced,  V) 
doubt  then  taken,  with  other  characters,  from  Ifct* 
Couliaeat.  He  was,  perhaps,  originally  a  blaod«f- 
ing  servant  of  the  Tautaloou,  aud  gra>iua1]y  mads 
prominent  by  tbe  skill  of  those  who  perforniw! 
the  pait,  until  it  culminated  in  Grimaldi,  befor*- 
whom  Uelpini  is  mentioned  aa  an  txceUa&t 
Clown. 

The  Pantaloon  is  evidently  taken  from  Uw 
Italian^  whose  prototype  was  llie  Venetian  inHr- 
chant,  with  his  loose  gown  (orij:iually  blai-k)  ftn4 
red  under  garments,  with  breeches  and  et'x-kiap 
united,  whence  the  name  of  pautal  ■    "  Ut 

that  article  of  dress,     lie  also  pn*^  '-4 

some  of  the  chnracter  of  the  Bolo^i.-^^  .-w..^:^* 
babbling,  boasting  character. 

The  Scaramouch  was  occasionally  in)Ti.TiJfY.! 
as  well  ns  the  Clown,  but  though  in  hah 
saucy  fellow,  degimeruted  here  into  a  l 
dancer,   dressed   in  a   loose   dress,   wiih 
coming  over  his  hands.     D'lerneli  i^<.y 
from  the  Captain  Spavenlo,  a  bra;: 
in  the  Italiau  performers,  and  s.iyn  ti.

"  Besides,  the  miller*!  bo,T  told  me  e'en  now, 
He  saw  him  take  soil,  and  be  halloo'd  him, 
Affinning  him  so  embofit, 
That  long  he  coald  not  hold." 

And  in  Beo  Jonson'a  Silent  Woman  (i.  l),the  boy 
Bays  of  Morose,  who  bates  noise  — 

"  I  entreated  a  bearward  one  day  to  come  down  with 
the  dogs  ofsomefourparishea,  that  way,  and  [thank  faim, 
he  did  ;  and  cried  his  games  under  Master  Morose's  win- 
dow :  till  he  was  sent  crying  away,  with  bis  head  made 
a  moflt  bleeding  spectacle  Co  the  miiliitude." 

Of  course  this  may  merely  mean  that  the  bear- 
ward  cried  the  prof^ramme  of  his  games :  — * 

**  On  Wednesday  next  at  the  Paris  garden  this  world- 
renowned  bear,  the  moat  famous  Master  Sackenon  will," 
Ac.  &&; 

and  if  any  one  li^e  to  take  it  so,  he  can  so  con- 
strue mine  host's  words — "  Have  I  set  forth  an 
entertainment  which  will  make  you  taste  your 
legs  ?'*  But  as  Jonson,  like  Shakespeare,  affected 
choice  and  apt  phrases,  and  as  the  evident  in- 
tent was  to  create  the  greatest  possible  barkiog, 
huUo-balloo,  and  tumult,  I  believe  that  the  phrase 
was  intended  to  imply  that  the  bears  were  un- 
covered and  discovered  to  the  crowd  of  men  end 
dogs ;  BO  that  the  bearward  might  point  to  the 
roused  bears  with — '*  See  here,  my  masters,  what 
s^rt  ye  shall  have.*'  He  could  not  have  taken 
his  bears  in  full  view  of  the  dogs  of  the  four 
parishes  through  the  streets  of  London,  but  could 
only  have  ventured  to  uncover  them  iu  some  such 
by-place  where  no  coaches  or  carts  passed.  There, 
in  sporting  language,  he  cried  or  hallooed  the  game. 
Bbinslbt  NicHOLsoir. 

P.S.  I  ought  to  have  said  that  "cry  aim" 
<»ccurs  twice,  not  once,  elsewhere  in  Shakespeare. 
On  the  other  band,  the  editions  of  the  first  sketch 
of  the  play  also  give  "  cried  game  " — a  fact  which 
disposes  at  once  of  the  supposition  that  it  is 
utner  a  transcriber's  or  printer  s  error. 


USELESS  MONKS  DOOMED  TO  DEATH. 

Ik  the  remarkable  and  masterly  Pierce  the 
Plouahman^g  Crede^  written  about  a.d.  1394  (see 
the  Early  English  Text  Society's  edition,  edited 
by  Rev.  W.  W.  Skeat.  Lond.  1867,  8vo),  we 
bave  at  lines  611-616 :  — 

**  Crist  bid  blissen  '  bodies  on  er)>e 
)aX  wepen  for  wvkkednes  •  \fnX.  he  byfome  wron3te  j  — 
)Ai  ben  fewe  of  po  freres  -  for  )>ei  ben  ner  dede

)Anne  he  warvel)  &  wepet>  *  &  wichc>  after  heuen. 
And  fye|)  on  her  falshudcs  ■  ^at  }>ei  bifore  deUcn." 

And  again,  lines  626-628 : — 
"  ^»er  Is  no  frer  in  faiji  •  \>ht  faret>  in  f>is  wise  ; 
But  he  maic  b^gen  his  bred  '  his  b«d  is  ygreihed; 
Vnder  a  pot  he  schal  be  pat  -  in  a  pryvie'cbambre, 
J^at  be  Bchal  lyuen  ne  last  *  bat  litcl'l  while  after." 

And  the  learned  editor  adds,  p.  50 :  — 


**  The  annooncement  in  this  line  that  friavs,  vbcn  aeir 
dead,  were  wrapped  up  in  white  doth,  and  had  putt  pd 
on  their  headSf  is  strong  and  startling  ;  and  a  r^tftnests 
line  627  seems  to  show  that  there  existed  a  arstea  d 
disposing  of  oseleAs  friars  by  a  process  not  very'diffnit 
from  suffocation ;  but  it  would  be  desirable  to  hare  bom 
light  thrown  upon  this  passage  from  other  sourcet,  A 
requpst  for  further  explanation  was  inserted  in  *M.&Q/ 
S'*!  S.  xi.  277,  but  has  elicited  as  yet  no  reply.** 

I  do  not  know  whether  the  straw  I  now  dng 
to  the  heap  is  one  of  the  right  kind,  but  the  snb- 

i'ect  is  so  curious  that  even  a  hint  may  be  useNL 
must  confess  that,  to  my  mind,  the  above  liaei 
convey  the  distinct  charge  that  useless  friais  vsn 
often  put  away  quickly  and  quietly,  their  deatk 
hastened  by  some  heartless  custom.  Should  thk 
be  so,  will  it  assist  us  to  remember  that  pot  ia 
old  times  also  meant  urn  or  earthen  vessel,  sad 
that  such  were  often  many  feet  high,  quite  fai^ 
enough  to  be  put  over  a  kneeling  or  crouehiaf 
man  P  We  have  abundant  instances  of  monks  aoS 
nuns  having  been  waUed  t<p  €dioe  (ss  a  disdpUsuT 
punishment  for  a  real  or  supposed  offence),  IM 
this  is  not  verv  wide  apart  from  being  entooM 
till  death  in  a  large  earthen  pot 

Some  li^ht  may  possibly  come  to  us  from  4| 
nearly  similar  death-doom  regularly  followed,  tf 
tradition  asserts,  by  certain  of  the  primitive  tribv 
in  Southern  India.   ( See  "  An  Account  of  the  Dii- 
covery  of  Megalithic  Cysts,  near  Madura,  Sortk 
India,  by  the  Rev.  David  Scudder  and  tbeBai; 
William  Carpon,"  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Bedm 
Society  of  Nat,  Mitt,,  March,  1866.)    We  an  bm 
informed  that  in  the  Southern  Dekan,  among  lit 
ctums  and  stone-circles  and  other  burial-mooadi 
of   now  extinct  tribes,  are  numbers  of  coIomI 
urns  or  pots  found  buried  in  the  earth,  from  t«a 
to  five  feet  high  and  an  inch  thick.    The;  cos- 
tain  remains  of  human  bones,  and   many  mmK 
earthen  pots,  with  sometimes  fragments  of  ii* 
The  natives  say  that  the  castes  or  tribes  th» 
buried  anticipated  old  age.    When  people  vol 
old  and  sickly,  they  put  them,  sitting  or  croudh 
ing,  in  such  urns,  with  a  dish  or  pot  of  rice  td 
another  of  water  near  them,  and  they  wera  tbei 
buried  alive.      Indian  tribes  in  South  Ameiici 
also,  not  long  ago.  buried  their  dead  in  lu^ 
earthen  pots. 

Thus  the  monastic  pot  was  only  a  temportfT 
discipline  to  hasten  death,  and  was  not  the  boril^ 
urn  itself,  as  in  the  Dekan  and  elsewhere.

Scoxnau  Ballads.  —  In  a  recent  number  of 
All  tho  Year  Itatmd  is  an  article  on  this  subject, 
in  wtiicb  particular  notice  is  taken  of  the  con- 
troversy regarding  the  age  and  authorship  of  "  Sir 
Patrick  Speu-s"  and  upwards  of  a  score  of  other 
ballads.  Ju  addition  to  tho  publications  men- 
tioned in  tho  article,  I  refer  the  writer  and  readers 
of  it  to  a  p^iner  ou  '*  Early  Scottish  Btiliadfl  "  by 
Mr.  Jame.-f  liutton  Watkins  (nia-^gow  Archteo- 
logical  Society,  1667),  in  defence  ot  the  antiquity 
of  the  ballu/is;  a  cn*ed  presenting  much  leas 
difficulty  than  llie  opposite  theory,  which  assigns 
to  tbem  on  origin  n<>l  earlier  than  last  century. 

As  to  the  pleasant  fancy  of  a  distinguifbed 
writer,  that  odo  clever  woman  mnnufaclured  them 
all,  I  belieTp,  were  she  now  to  revisit  our  Northern 
Athens,  she  would  be  rather  astonished  that  the 
simple  fact  of  her  having  intrrHlnced  into  her 
poem  of  **  Hardyknutc"'  some  phrnsea  occuninff 
m  ballads  familiar  to  her  from  childhood  sbould 
have  led  to  her  obtniiiiug  such  vta  honour.  Mr. 
AVatkins  quotes  a  letter  of  the  late  Professor 
Aytoun's,  written  in  December  IbSO,  saying: —

known  for  his  encouragement  of  Sanscrit  literature,  haa 
written  some  SltJuut^oT  verses,  in  honour  of  the  arrival  of 
the  Duke  of  Edinburgh,  of  which  the  following  13  a  traos-

'Auspicious  day  when  India  first  beliolds

Now  England's  hand  her  pro^pVous  future  mould?, 
And  she  her  latest  rule  dutli  own  the  best.

C'HARLEi  Kemble  axd  Yoitxo. — In  The  Athc* 
Moum  of  Dec.  15,  18(50,  in  a  notice  of  Lane*s 
CharU$  Kembie'a  Skahipcrc  Reading$y  it  is  said: — 

"Mr.  Lane,  In  his  preface,  speaks  as  a  fond  friend 
rather  than  at  an  impartial  critic  of  Charles  Kemble  as 
an  actor.  His  qualities  were  very  high,  no  doubt;  but 
fo  praise  his  Falstaff,  or  chronicle  the  extensive  range  of 
fata  voice,  is  a  great  mi-stake.  If  Mr.  Lane  remembers 
Toong  playing  Jaffier  to  Charles  Kemblc's  Pierre,  he  caa 


snarccly  hare  forj;otten  the  contnut  between  the  fvll 
tones  of  the  former  and  the  thin,  youthftil  rucc  c^  tfai 
latter.  NeTerthelea%  Charles  Kemble  would  *cnt  op' 
into  half  a  hundred  of  the  genteel  and  soulless  i^jen^f 
the  present  time."* 

liid  Charles  KemUe  and  Young  ever  inter- 
change parts,  so  much  to  their  mntaal  dtsadriB- 
tago  ?  I  remember  Charles  Keroblo  as  Jaffisr, 
Young  as  Pierre,  and  Miss  O'Neil  aa  BelTeden. 
I  hare  looked  through  some  volumes  of  play-lnll^ 
and  cannot  Bnd  any  evidence  of  a  different  csit| 
but  it  may  have  o<iurred  on  some  special  oo*-

made  for  mo  in  Lngland  by  Mr.  XL  G.  Soojorby. 
Though  as  yd  unsuccessful  in  tbo  purpose  for 
which  the}*  wore  undt>rtuken,  they  liave  produced 
n  rciult  curiously  nffectin;^  the  pedi^ri^e  of  tho 
Earl  of  Gainsbowugh.  According  to  Burke  this 
nobleman  is  deeocnded  from  the  Nocla  of  HiJcote, 
in  Stnll'irdehire,  of  whom  was  Jamca  Noel,  i^mp, 
Henry  VIIL,  whose  third  son  Andrew  received 
the  property  at  Ualby-upcm-Wold  iu  Leicester- 
shire,  which  had  belonged  to  the  Knights  of  St. 
John  of  Jeiusaleai.  Jiy  bis  first  wife  Elizabeth, 
widow  of  .Sir  John  Perieut,  he  had  Sir  Andrew 
Noel  of  Dalby,  Knij;ht,  whose  son  Sir  Edward  was 
raised  to  the  peerage. 

Now,  not  nhly  did  the  family  of  Hilcoto  spoil

that  Burke  is  wrong  in  the  order  of  his  marriaj^s

seems  to  have  changed  his  name  imd  arms^  thereby

why  he  did  so,  since  tiie  pedigree  to  which  his

entitled— viz.  that  of  Nowell  of  Merley,  is,  I  think,

ascertained  in  what  direction  such  evidence  as  wo 

•  Concluded  from  p.  179. 


have — traditional,  circumstantial,  and  intenul^ 
directly  leads  us. 

Tbo  character  of  the  book  takes  along  with  it 
the  inevitable  condition,  that  we  most  look  lot 
its  author  within  limits  not  drcumscribed  far  a 
large  radius.  A  practised  political  writer,  ww, 
from  whatever  catise,  did  not  find  or  give  himietf 
time  to  correct  his  manuscript,  yet  had  a  fertik 
imagination,  a  rare  faculty  of  combining  fictioa 
with  fact,  so  as  to  appear  truthful,  and  to  capd- 
yate  the  understandings  of  his  readers.  Skilfid 
in  dialogue,  wherein  the  interest-is  sustained,  mi 
the  argument  moves  on  naturally,  without  any  ip- 

fearance  of  foregone  conclusion,  or  of  one  speabr 
eing  made  "dummy"  to  the  other.  OneiAo 
agreed  in  man^  respects,  but  not  in  oil,  with  ths 
political  principles  of  the  Earl  of  Oxford ;  aal 
approved,  but  onl^  with  the  same  Umitatian,  of 
his  lordship's  political  conduct.  What,  hoverer, 
above  all,  seems  to  narrow  the  area  within  wludi 
we  have  to  search  is,  that  while  oUier  known  aid 
able  political  writers  (who  had  long  fed  upon  thi 
Lord  Treasurer's  bounty)  forsook  bim  -whrn 
fallen — a  prisoner  in  the  Tower,  sick,  and  8vsit> 
ing  his  trial  for  life— the  writer  of  Mimdet  of  Hi 
Kegotiations  of  Montr,  Mesnoffer,  whoever  he 
miffht  be,  continued  his  lordship's  futhful  fiisad 
and  defender. 

Mr.  A.  Boyer  was  hostile  to  the  Earl  of  0x&4 
and  I  have  not  been  able  to  find  that  he  vii 
charged  by  any  one  with  being  cither  author  or 
translator  of  the  book  ;  but  he  chooses  to  say  «^ 
for  the  purpose  of  angrily  protesting  against  «V 
such  charge,  and  abusing  the  book  and  its  author. 
Such  protest  was  very  gratuitous.  Nothing  coaU 
be  less  like,  either  in  prmciple  or  style,  his  aromd 
writings. 

Every  contemporary  writer  I  have  been  aUeto 
discover  as  having  noticed  the  book,  not  even  ex- 
cepting Boyer  himself,  attiibutes  the  Muntatf 
Momr.  Memager  to  the  pen  of  Daniel  Defoe. 

When  this  book  was  published,  Uttle  more  tbfli 
two  years  had  elapsed  since  the  appeorancd  d 
Defoe's  Appeal  to  Honour  and  Jitsltce.    In  tW 

Simphlet  he  speaks  of  the  fall  of  the  Earl  of 
xford,  and  that  his  lordship  was  threatened  intk 
impeachment.  Ills  chief  object  in  writing  it  Ttt^ 
in  his  own  words,  to 

"  Produce  a  snflicient  rsasoa  for  my  adhering  to  ^^ 
whose  obligations  upon  me  were  too  strong  to  be  ni^ 
even  when  many  things  were  done  by  them  wblfk ' 
could  not  approve." 

He  then  goes  on  to  say  that  when  he  wasj^ 
"  friendless  and  distressed  in  the  prison  of  Ke** 
gate,"  his  family  ruined,  and  himself  "witlw** 
hope  of  deliverance,"  the  Earl  of  Oxford  (ti» 
the  Right  Hon.  Robert  Harley,  and  Secrettrt« 
State),  with  whom  ho  "had  never  had  the le^B* 
acquaintance,"  first  inquired  what  he  could  do  fi>'

Mons.  Meanftgcr  is  made  to  express  (pp.  108-9) 
his  admiration  of  an  anonymous  tract  m  favour 
nf  peoco  (written  by  Uefoel.  and  to  relate  that 
be  endeavoured  to  'bring  this  author  into  bis 
measures  by  causing — 

"en  hundred  pistoles  to  be  conveyed  to  him,  as  a 
compliment  for  that  book,  ami  let  him  know  it  flsmo  fr<m

Wfts  8cn»iblo  of  bis  service.  Hut  I  missed  my  aim  in  the

obliiff.'d  to  sit  still,  and  be  very  well  latisOied  that  I  hid 
not  discovered  myself  to  hini." 

A  friend,  for  whose  judgment  I  have  great 
respect,  suggests  as  an  objection,  that,  on  the 
Lj'jiothet*!.-!  of  Defoe's  authorship,  he  would  here 
publish,  without  adequate  reftM)n,  an  incident  not 
otherwise  known,  nud  would  furnish  bU  enemies 
with  the  means  of  annovance.  I  submit  tbat  the 
weight  is  on  the  other  sfde.  In  ihe  first  instance 
the  circumstances  were  known  only  to  Me-^nager 
an<l  Defoe.  Mesnsget  ottempted  to  bribe,  but 
bplit'ved  himself  entirely  concealed.  The  writer 
of  the  book,  whoever  be  wtis,  buew  all  about  the 
trnnsaclion.  Defoe  knew  nt  the  time  where  the 
moDcv  came  from,  and  he  bad  "let  the  Queen 
know*,"  most  probably  through  her  mini.sters. 
II.:  bad,  therefore,  if 'the  nuthor,  no  reason  for 
c  :>nrcnlineut  or  suppression,  when,  long  afterward?, 
malting  Mesnoirer  give  an  account  of  hia  own 
negotiations.  It  was  discreditable  to  the  diplo- 
matist tu  "  miss  bisuim,"  and  expose  himself.  It 
W.W  creditable  to  Defoe  that  bo  WM  not  to  l»e

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.

Mq  pnrt  of  mj  duijp  I  ffholl  avoid,  as  much  as 
possible,  iho  ciifuistical  questitin,  if,  or  how  far, 
a  writer  may  deny  Ihe  authorship  of  hi«  owa 
works.  Thiil  tbero  have  been  many  and  eminent 
inBlADcea  in  which  it  haa  been  perMMcntly  don^. 
and  after  discoveiy  justifird,  is  well  known  to  nil 
scholars.  I  prefer  to  eliminnto,  ns  fnr  as  possible, 
facts  bearing  on  the  subject,  and  to  leave  tho 
decifiion  to  your  n^aders. 

I'ho  letter  of  Defoe  containing  this  disclaimer, 
for  the  reproduction  of  whicb  in  your  cutumoa  we 
are  indebted  to  Mr.  CRosiiLET,  is  copied  fmm 
Meratn'us  Pui\ticv9  for  the  mouth  of  July,  1717. 
By  rt'il*rrin(f  to  his  now  celebrated  letters  to  Mr. 
de  1a  Faye,  tho  fnct  is  beyond  all  difputo  that 
DefoG  was,  on  May  23,  1718,  and  had  then  been, 
]D  his  own  words.  '*  two  year  or  more,"  the  author 
or  reaponmble  editor  of  Mereurias  PoUiicw,  indeed 
from  itfl  very  commencement  in  May,  17H5.  Hb 
vas  its  author,  Iberefore,  wben  thi^  disclaimer  (if 
the  Afi/iutfS  of  Mom,  Memiager  appeared ;  and  tbe 
intentionnlly  uon-Uicid  inti-odiictiun,  as  well  ad  ihs 
letter  itaelf,  was  written  by  him. 

Tlie  rtaHon*  a-'*i^rned  in  6ucb  intro4luction  for 
repriuling  Defue'ft  letter  from  the  St.  Jamrin  Fusi 
are,  thut  bo  had  "  been  injuriously  treated  *'  on 
account  of  Mttcuriun  PuUticut,  "ond  being:  fal.-'ftly 
xeproRched  with  writinf^  theae  collections'*  (i.*. 
Mercitrius  Foiiticun),  Now  Boyer,  in  tnuroerating 
fourteen  worked  attributed  to  Defoo,  had  merely 
said  of  tho  oou  in  question : — 

"To  (liis  famotu  writer  w«  are,  amonj;  other  Usmed 

lucttbritions  inilt-btcd  for 13.  MtrcurtM 

JPniiticna  (or  oioothly  Bcandal  upon  tbo  preBcnt  GoTcm- 
mont)."  • 

Any  ity'un'om  treatment  contained  in  these  words 
roust  biive  fiillon  vprj*  lightly  on  Defoe,judpinp  from 
the  fuct  that  in  hi«  vindicatory  letter,  immedidtelv 
following, iVfrcHriMj/Wt^'cfwia  not  eTenmentiont-'d. 
It  cannot  bo  denied  that  the  words,  *'  being  fuUoly 
repronched  with  writing  these  collections,"  seem 
almost  ns  erapbiuic  a  di«e1eimer  of  his  authorsihip 
of  Meratrius  Foliticns  as  the  words  used  in  a  later 
part  of  the  same  communication  arc  of  the 
Jfinutfig  of  Mona.  Afcsnnptr.  It  is  a  trite  objoctic^n 
thiit  if  Defoe  was  ihfl  nulbor  of  Metmager^s  SjiHtUe»t 
his  dibchiiiner  could  have  been  ctrntrndictod  by 
the  priiiterB  and  publisher  of  tho  book,  and  that 
ho  would  n-'t  hare  thus  incnrrod  tbo  ri«k  of  ex- 
posure. Tbe  practice  of  tho  tmde  wjis  then 
aecrefv,  so  inviolnblo  tbnt  the  publishing  hnuso 
Uiat  issued  McAnager  had  previotisly  more  than 
once  silently  incurred  tbe  terror?  of  Ibo  law  on 
account  of  l)ofoe*rt  nuthoridup,  and  had  only  been 
released  by  his  voluntary  personal  avowal.  If 
evou  WG  ae^uuie  that  onotber  hand  wrote  the 
introductiou  to  Pefuo'a  letter,  yet  he  was  at  the 
time  the  author  of  Mercurius  Folitivui,  and  by 
allowing  such  disclaimer  of  it  to  appear  uncon- 

•  Foiiiieailitate,  xiii.  882^ 


tradicied,  then  or  8ubac<|uently,  be  may  be  faifly 
said  to  have  editorially  adopted  the  intentioa 
therer>f. 

I  am  tempted  to  remark  upon  other  parts  of  the 
letter  and  its  introduction,  but  mu&t  contino  thtB 
long  article  to  what  strictly  relates  to  the  author- 
fhip  of  the  Minutes  of  Memaper,  and  thexofore 
only  observe  upon  tho  following  : — 

**  We  bear  nince,  IhmL  Ifae  per4i>a  wbu  i%  iha  aathar  at 
the  book,  wbicb  ia  cbarjced  upon  Mr.  1>r  how  tut  prcH 
raiaed  publicly  a  second  edition  of  it,  and  act  his  name 
to  the  work." 

The  editor  of  Merewiii9  Politicut  believed  the 
author  of  Aft/iu/ej  of  Mrmager  io  be  then  allre, 
though  Mesnagor  him^iidf  bad  been  long  dead.  It 
does  not  neceasarily  follow  that  Defoe,  tbe  author 
of  Mcrcurius  Poiilici4s,  knew  the  nr.  *"  "  au- 
thor of  i1frsmryi<r ;  but  otherwise  it  :-  bat 
he  should  have  heard  what  the  latu-i  ^i>  'uused 
publicly,"  yet  never  performed.  The  second 
edition  was  anonymously  published  ahnrtlv  after* 
ward,  and  the  world  pt^rsi^ted  in  ascribing  the 
book  to  Defoe.  Is  it  posv-«ibk  that  Ihesa  word* 
were  only  intended  to  divert  tho  reader'?  atten- 
tion from  the  real  author  ?  In  tbe  fullowin^ 
month  Bnyer  repeats,  "  that  in  the  genenil 
opinion  "  Defoo  was  the  forger  of  Mor.xir^rr  Met* 
ttayer^i  Minuteg,  But  it  ia  right  t-  -hat 
it  may  be  worth,  that  he  took  Dvi  icner 
for  n  denial  of  authorship.* 

It  is  no  part  of  my  present  duty  to  erplain 
away  the  words  in  whieli  Defoe  appears  to  dia- 
claim  tho  authorship  of  this  book;  but  T  may 
state  tbo  fact  that,  in  more  or  less  ambiguous 
terms,  he  thought  fit,  in  respect  of  many  other  of 
his  worlci,  to  create  so  much  doubt  aa  eftertuaJly 
to  mislead  his  enemies  and  seriously  embarraaa 
his  biogniphera.  As  iUti.ttrutioa^i  may  bt-  uiea-

Ihe  Reader"  it  may  "be  worth  while  to  make  a 
Khort  excerpt,  as  affording  some  details  of  ao  well- 
known  a  treatise :  — 
**  Conrteotu  Keader, 
"  I  having  the  Happiness  of  an  intimate  Acquaintance 
with  M'' Cocker  in  his  Life  time,  often  sollicited  him  to 
remember  hia  Promise  to  the  World,  of  publishing  his 
'  Aritbmetick,'  but  (for  Reasous  best  known  to  himself) 
he  refused  it;  and  (after  his  Death)  the  Copy  falling 
accidentally  into  my  bands,  I  thought  it  not  convenient 
to  smother  a  work  of  so  considerable  a  moment,  not 
questioning  bat  it  might  be  as  kindly  accepted,  as  if  it 
had  been  presented  by  his  own  band,"  Ac. 

A  good  account  of  Cocker  will  be  found  (Part  n. 
pp.  61-64)  in  the  interesting  work — 

"The  Origin  and  Progress  of  Letters:  an  Essay' in 
Two  Parts,  Ac.  by  W.  Massey."    London,  8ro,  1763. " 

In  this  elaborate  account  of  our  author  and  bis 
works  the  Dictionary,  the  title  of  which  I  have 
given  aboTC,  does  not  find  mention. 

Beneath  the  rude  portrait  of  Cocker,  prefixed 
to  bis  Arithmetick,  the  following  lines  occur: — 
"  Ingenious  Cocker !  (Xow  to  rest  thou'rt  gone) ; 
Noe  Art  can  show  thee  fully  but  thine  own ; 
Thy  rare  Arithmetick  nlono  can  show, 
Th'vast  Sums  of  Thanks  wee  for  thy  Labours  owe." 

As  a  pendant  to  this,  I  may  give  another  qua- 
train from  his  Guide  to  Penmanshipj  1604 :  — 

"  Behold  rare  ('ockkr's  life,  resembling  shade. 
Whom  eur3''8  clouds  have  more  illustrious  made ; 
Whose  pen  and  graver  have  display'd  his  name, 
With  virtuoso's,  in  the  book  of  fame." 

An  account  of  the  Arithmetick^  with  mention 
of  several  editions  with  their  dates  itp  to  the 
fifty-second,  1748,  will  bo  found  in  iUr.  John 
Miller's  republication  of  the  anecdotal  collections 
which  originally  appeared  as  an  accompaniment 
to  his  monthly  catalogues  of  £econd-hand  books,

Dr.  Johnson  had  presented  a  bool^  to  the  land-

The  story  of  the  alleged  drowning  of  Hir|Hi 
Maclachlan  or  Lauchluone,  an  old  wofflia  ^4 
seventy,  and  of  Margaret  Wilson,  aged  tmti 
will  be  found  in  Macaulay's  Hidery  ofEH^m,^

question  of  execution  or  no  execution  the  evitWk 
eeems  about  as  nicely  balanced  aa  evideiioB  ol 
well  be.  In  this  "  Case  against  the  Crowa,"  dft 
only  possible  verdict  at  present  returnable  WB(i 
appear  to  be  either  the  Scotish  "  Not  prorei^"* 
the  Irish  "  Not  guilty,  but  don't  do  it  agaiB.' 

The  facts,  shortly,  are  these.  The  two  vtwtf 
named  were  sentenced  Xo  die  by  drowmu  If  i 
commission  of  Lords  Justices  sitting  at  wMi 
April  13,  1685.  Their  crime  waa  coapfldtT

The  proof  of  their  guilty  accession  after  tb>M 
to  this  declaration,  on  which  their  sentence  pMM 
lay  in  their  refusing  to  take  the  abjuratica  M^ 
imposed  by  government  for  the  occanoB.  Til 
records  of  this  commission  are  not  extant,  Hi^ 
date  on  which  the  sentence  waa  ordered  to  k

in  1711,  in  cnmpltanco  with  the  injunctions  of  tho 
Bupt-rior  church  courts,  that  memorials  of  tho 
aulferings  and  doings  of  the  ''  killing  time  "  should 
be  collected  and  preserved.  These  kirk  sessious, 
it  must  be  understood,  were  composed  mainly  of 
men  to  whom  wo  cannot  suppose  the  facts  of  the 
case  to  have  been  otherwise  than  perfectly  attain- 
able. These  f«els  were  then  only  twenty-six 
years  old.  The  "elders*'  of  1711  were  most  of 
them  considerably  over  twenty-  at  the  date  of  their 
occurrence.

which  her  mother  appeared  to  her  "  wiih  garb, 
jpesture,  and  cnuntenarce  that  she  had  five  minutes 
before  she  was  drowned  in  lileilnoch."  Clearly 
the  daughter  had  no  doubt  whatever  as  to  bcf 
mother's  fate. 

All  this  posthumous  evidence  would  be  almost 
if  not  quite  convincing,  were  it  not  for  the  follow- 
ing factd : — 

1.  The  records  of  the  Burgb  Court  of  Wigton 
contain  no  reference  to  the  execution. 

2.  Sir  George  Mackenzie  in  his  Vindication 
(lOOl)  stAteA  positively  that  only  two  women 
were  executed  in  Scotland  for  state  crimes  during 
the  reigns  of  Charles  and  James — vix.  Isabel  .\U- 
soQ  and  Marion  JIarvie,  irfia  icitp  hxntjed  for

Tho  fact  of  the  execution  was  tirst  publicly  dis-

hse  of  the  Wiatown  MariyrSj  Edin.  1867,  Sod 
edit,  revised  and  enlarged  1869. 

I  just  remark,  ia  couduaioo,  that  gentlemc'n 
would  do  tbe  caiue  they  espouse  more  good  aud 
ao  htitm  b_v  a  little  candour,  nod  by  cultivHtiog  the 

.  judicidl  i>piri^  rftiher  than  Ihiit  of  the  advocate. 

\v{  course,  in  a  pamphlet  entitled  The  Cane  for  the 
Crommj  we  may  expect  to  find  special  pleading, 
And  we  fihnll  not  be  disappointed.  Dut  the  title 
Bi^ory  Vittdic<tted  does  not  of  itself  bold  out  such 
an  expectation.  It  is  then  rather  remarkable  that 
of  Kenwick's  Apolotfcltcal  Declaratioiif  the  liend 
and  front  of  all  this  ofTending,  the  author  of 
either  pamphleta  just  named  printd  only  what 
makes  for  tiis  own  side.  Mr.  Napier  takes  care 
that  we  ebalL  be  acotiainted  with  the  clauses  of 
that  document  whicu  (ns  summarised)  thtetiten 
that  "if  tbe  ciimtea  and  soldiers  would  not  give 
over  the  perjiecutinfT  and  aeaiThin^  of  them,  but 
brought  them  etill  to  public  dentha,  they  would 
not  spare  to  shed  their  blood  by  their  own  mta- 
sureg,  seeing  they  could  not  do  it  now  in  a  legal 
judicative  way  ;  and  declare  that  Ihoy  **  dis- 
owned Charles  Stuart  to  be  their  kinjr."  But  ho 
takes  no  notice  whatever  of  this  clause,  the  bc^t 
and  noblest  perhaps  in  any  public  dwument  of  that 
time,  bat  which  those  who  read  by  Mr.  Stewnrl's 
light  alone  will  be  apt  to  5Uppose  constitute  the 
pith  and  marrow  of  the  declaration  :  — 

'•We  *\o  hprL'by  jointly  and  unanimoaily  teilify  and 
declare  that  we  'ottcrly  detect  and  abhur  that  helUoh 
principle  of  killiog  all  who  ditfer  iu  juilgnicnt  an<l  per- 
auaaion  from  iia." 

On  the  other  hand,  Mr.  Stewart  seems  to  con- 
sider the  oath  of  abjuration  as  a  bad  mouth- 
iilliug  form  of  wordw,  and  nothing  more;  while 
to  Mr.  Napier  we  are  indebted  for  a  more  accu- 
rate knowledjro,  and  for  the  comfortable  feeling 
that  when  Margart-t  Lauchlisone  expressed  her 
willingness  to  take  the  oath,  she  only  did  the 
right  thing,  and  was  then  fimply  obeying  the 
dictates  of  a  more  fully  enlightened  consciGcce. 
Here  it  is  j  it  is  worth  printing :  — 

•*  I  do  hereby  abhor,  renounce,  anrt  disown,  in  the  pre- 
sence or  tbe  Alnii|;li(y  Go«l,  the  protended  dcoIaralJMU  of

it  declares  war  against  hU  sacred  Mujesty,  and  aitsert.s 
that  it  in  lawful  to  kill  sucli  as  tare  his  ftlajctty  in

Bd] 


for  "  Charles  Jameson  Grant,"

Penny  Gauttej  the  cuts  of  '•CleavL's  Gallery  of 
Comicalities''  are  taken.  In  1641  I  find  his  in- 
itials in  tho  Penny  Sundtty  Chroniete  nt  a  larg-e 
wood-cut  entitled  *' Grant's  Comic  Almitnac  for 
\^^,^  In  1837  he  illustrated  some  of  tho  early 
numbers  of  a  periodical  called  Cocknry  AdiVTUure0 
and  Tales  of  London  Life.  When  Mr.  DickenA 
was  publishing  his  lHc)ncick  Papers,  a  misentblo 
pla^tirism  appeared.  The  Pennt/  Pickwick,  edited 
by  Bos,  which  was  iUustrnted  "by  "  C.  J.  G."  So 
much  for  Mr.  Grant's  woodcuts. 

Eiirlier  than  any  of  the  above  dates,  namely,  in 

1833,  I  find  Mr.  Grant's  name  to  a  coloured 
caricature  published  by  G.  8.  Tregear,  '*The 
Kobin  llooa  Faiuily,  or  Archers  of  1833/'  and,  I 
believe,  Mr.  Tregtiar  published  many  coloured 
caricatures  for  him.     They  quarrelled  somehow, 

I  and  I  recollect  of  a  very  pursonal  correspondence 
I  between  them.  In  the  same  year  of  1933,  Mr, 
Grant's  name  is  placed  on  a  litbog-raph  caricature, 
of  the  size  and  in  the  style  of  H.B.'s  sketchea, 
entitled  "The  Village  Politicinns  (Wilkie  Tra- 
vesty),** in  which  the  notable  politicians  of  tho 
day,  iucludinp  Wellington,  (jlrey,  Cumberlaody 
&c.  are  cleverly  limned.     In  the  following  year, 

1834,  I  find  Mr.  Grant  iasning,  in  lithographic 
sheets,  Every-hody*4  Alhuin  and  Caricature  MaffO- 
zine:  c-OfUinned  ewry  Fortmyht.  I  havo  No.  17 
before  me.  It  has  half-a-dozen  clever  caricatures 
iUuatraling  the  adventures  of  four  Cocknor  sports- 
men. These  sheeta  were  issued  both  plain  and 
coloured. 

Certainly  Charles  Jameson  Grant  was  a  popular 
caricaturist  in  his  day;  and  I  sfaould  lika  much 
to  hear  something  more  of  *' his  lift)  and  labour.^." 
I  may  utate  further,  that  in  my  collection  of  auto-

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[4«i'&T.Fnl9^'nL 


As  to  W.  P/s  remark  about  the  sheets  of 
Comicalities  from  Hood,  I  caonot  say  how  many 
were  xasued ;  but  I  note,  aa  a  "  clue  to  their  his- 
tory," that  one  before  me  is  printed  "  No.  I. — 
Vol.  II.,"  and  another  "No.  II.— Vol  III."; 
and  both  are  beaded  "  Illustrations  to  Hoods 
Comic  Annual.^*  The  enp^ravings  are  introduced 
by  this  note,  surely  written  by  the  punning  pen  of 
Thomas  Hood : — 

**  At  the  suggestion  of  the  Publisher,  the  Illiutnitions 
•f  the  Comic  Aunusls  for  1830,  SI.  32,  are  issued  in  the 
present  form  ;  partly  for  the  convenience  of  !5crap-Boolu 
and  Albums,  and  partly  in  self-defence,  against  the 
sparionB  sheets  which  are  hawked  about,  under  the  same 
title.  Silk-meroers  even  hare  aimed  a  bfow  at  the  copy- 
right by  printing  the  d^gns  on  bandkerchie&:  time 
will  show  whether  the  proprietor  of  the  Comic  Awmal 
means  to  pocket  the  offence."

ARMORIAL  BOOK-PLATES, 
(4»'"S.iv.  400,  518;  v.  65.) 

The  arms  of  Hans  Eck  produced  by  Mb.  Hodo- 
xiir  certiunly  might  hare  been  Eck 'a  book-plate 
placed  in  the  book  by  bis  hand  if  the  book  is  of 
the  date  suggested,  1515,  for  Eck  died  in  1543; 
and  I  agree  with  Mr.  Hodoein  in  thinking  that 
the  arms  are  his  book-plate.  It  is  a  very  inter- 
esting example.  The  hat  is  not  a  cardinal's  hat, 
for  Eck  never  was  a  cardinal,  nor  a  bishop's,  for 
he  was  not  a  bishop.  It  is  the  hat  of  minor  pre- 
lacy, which  diifers  from  the  cardinal's  and  bishop's 
only  in  colour  and  the  number  of  tassels ;  though 
BO  reliance  can  be  placed  on  the  number  given 
by  engravers. 

Mb.  Gbosarx  has  produced  an  example  which, 
if  it  should  turn  out  on  examination  to  be  a  true 
book-plate,  must  modify  the  opinion  which  I  have 
held  as  to  the  date  of  English  book-plates.  I 
think  I  can  tell  Mr.  Grosabt  what  arms  he  sees 
in  it  First  and  fourth,  a  cross  of  St  George  for 
England;  second,  a  snltier  for  Scotland;  third, 
the  harp  for  Ireland ;  over  all  an  inescocheon 
showing  a  lion  rampant  for  Williams,  which  was 
the  real  paternal  name  of  Cromwell.  Tenans,  a 
lion  and  dragon ;  barred  helmet,  tarr6  de  front, 
carrying  a  crown,  and  on  the  crown  the  lion  of 
England.  I  wish  Mr.  Gbosart  would  favour  us 
wita  a  minute  description  of  the  appearance  of 
the  plate  in  "  N.  &  Q."  I  must  say  that  at  pre- 
sent I  do  not  believe  the  plate  to  be  a  book-plate. 
In  any  case  it  will  be  very  agreeable  to  see  it  re- 
produced as  Mr.  Orosart  promises. 

The  quotation  which  Dr.  Dawsoit-Duffibld 
gives  from  the  catalogue  of  M.  Bachelin-De- 
norenne  is  to  me  quite  uniutelligible.  Are  we 
asked  to  accept  an  engraved  book-plate  "  from  the 
year  1270  "  ?  and  *'  another  siniilar  book-plate  "

"  book-plates"  are  "painted  on  aboard."  l\mi

may  be  in  London  ask  M.  Bachelin-BeflonnMl 
allow  these  articles  to  be  inspected  bj  bin,!

William  Lenthal,  Speaker  of  the  Ilon&o  of  Com- 
mnns  temp.  Car.  I.,  whereof  the  pedigree  is  elabo- 
rately and,  I  may  say,  aflcctiunately  deduced  by 
my  grandfather  through  many  centuries. 

Let  me  add,  that  Gotl  win  Swift's  fourth  brother, 
Jonnthan,  was  father  of  "The  Dean;"  and  that 
bi«  iilXh,  Adam,  was  grandfather  of  my  genealogic 
grandfather's  wife,  thus  doubling  my  inheritance 
of  the  old  iloyalist's  principles,  which  I  represent 
no  less  than  I  do  the  family  of  his  eldest  son's 
third  marriage.  In  my  ninety-third  year  I  am, 
I  fenr,  of  those  principle  one  of  the  lateat  Bur- 
vivora. 

The  MS.  makes  no  mention  of  Mb.  Logan's 
"  pei^tilent  lawyer,  John  Swift,"  nor  of  bis  bap- 
liamal  name;  hut,  some  twonty-fiva  vear>*  ago  I 
WAS  visited  by  an  American  General  Jimathau 
Swift»  whose  claim  of  khdred  I  need  hardly  say 
that  I  cordially  received.  Ilis  Ancestors  had,  be 
told  me,  emigrated  in  the  days  of  "The  Covenant"; 
and  he  showed  me  hit*  seal,  which  bore  the  coat- 
armour  of  Godwin  Swift,  and  of  my  own  bo<ik- 
plale,  one  of  which,  with  it^  chevron  **barry- 
nebul^e,"  I  enclose:  it  will,  1  ibink,  be  identified 
in  Guillim. 

Mny  I  add,  that  the  strong  family  likeness 
between  my  gallnnt  kinaman  and  myself— eyes, 
complexion^  figure— obtained  everybody's  notice : 
ho  had  called  at  nn  early  hour,  and  the  wnrders  at

Ubesteb  Family  (4'*"  a  v.  80.)— The  "  Colonel 
Chester,  an  English  officer  in  Walcheren  in  1673  " 
(Fronde,  xi.  10),  was  evidently  Edward  Chester, 
the  eldest  son  and  heir-apparent  of  Sir  Robert 
Chester,  Knt.,  of  Royston,  as  he  w  expressly 
called  in  the  Viaitation  of  Herta  in  1572,  "  a  colo- 
nel in  the  Low  Countries'*  (Harl.  MS.  1640, 
fol.  73).  Cob  EMward  Chester  succeeded  hia  father 
at  Royston,  Nov.  25,  1571 :  and  was  found  on  the 
Inq.  p.  m.  held  on  April  0, 1575,  to  be  aged  thirty 
yeara  and  upwnrds.  He  married  at  Koyeton,  on 
Nov.  27,  1564,  Katberine,  daughter  and  heir  of 
Sir  James  Granadu,  Knt.,  equerry  to  Henry  VIIL, 
and  died  Kov.  15,  1578,  leaving  Robert  bia  son 
and  heir :  who  was  found  on  Jan.  16, 1678-9,  to  be 
aged  twelve  years,  six  months,  and  aeventeon  days. 
This  Robert  was  knighted  by  James  I.,  and  was

Texnysoii  (4*''  S.  iv.  501 ;  v.  52.)— The  anawera 
of  R.  C.  L.  and  Mn.  Galton  to  my  query  re- 
gnrding  the  poet  referred  to  by  Tennyson  are 
scarcely  satistactory.  In  Memwinm  'n'aa  fitst 
published  in  1850.  and  ''  Tho  Ladder  nf  8t  Au- 
gustine "  is  oue  of  Longftdlow's  later  poems,  first 
Kiven  to  the  world,  I  tbiuk,  in  ltS/*8.  in  the  col- 
lection entitled  Bird^s  of  PaMngr.  It  is  quita  im- 
possible tbat  Tennyson  could  have  bad  this  lost 
poem  in  his  mind  when  composing  the  opening 
stanza  of//j  Memoriam—si  work,  moreover,  which 
1  believe  hsd  been  written  some  renra  before  its 
actual  publicatioD.  There  is  a  verse  in  the  Ame- 
rican ptwt's  **  Psalm  of  Life  "  to  which  m)Mibly 
the  stanza  under  consideration  mij^hl  be  held  to 
refer,  but  only,  in  my  opinion,  by  a  far-etrrtined 
inter{>retalion.  And  the  explunation  of  tbe  allu- 
siou  by  connecting  it  with  various  expressions  in 
the  Piilme  of  Pnvid,  though  free  from  tbe  objec- 
tion of  onacbroniam,  seems  far-fetched  and  un- 
tenable. I  still  hope  tbat  some  one  of  tbe 
numerous  contributors  to  "  X.  &  Q."  may  furnish 
mo  with  a  more  satisfactory  eolution  of  the  ques- 
tion than  either  of  those  with  which  I  have  Wa 


favoured.

St  Augustine  is  the  author  of  the  sentiment  in 
the  lines  uuoted  by  H.  IV,  and  tbe  image  in  which 
he  has  emuodied  it  is  more  striking  and  true  than 
Tennyson's.  (For  St.  Augustine's  words  and  their 
embodiment  in  verse  by  Longfellow,  vuie  A^  S.  v. 
62.)  I  should  feel  the  more  confident  that  the

Eauly  Alto-ktlikvo  (4"'  S.  v.  14<'i.)  —  1  have 
no  doubt  that  this  represents  the  Holy  Family, 
which,  it  ia  well  known,  is  often  reprc-4>nted 
os-^^embled  in  the  workshop  of  St.  Joseph.  I  have 
a  print  where  St.  Joseph  is  planing  at  bis  work- 
table,  tlie  Blessed  \'irgin  seated  and  sewing,  and 
our  Blessed  Saviour  as  a  young  child  feeding 
chickens  on  the  lloor.  In  the  above  alto-rilievo 
the  introduction  of  the  angel  addressing  St.  Jmiepli 
ia  probably  intended  to  P.-preseut  the  angel's  ap- 
pearing to  him  alter  the  death  of  Heiod,  ond 
directing  him  to  return  into  the  land  of  Israel 
(St.  Malt.  ii.  iK)) ;  for  an  old  tradition  says  that 
tho  Holy  Family  remained  seven  years  in  JVypt.

We  have  an  old  print  of  the  Holy  Family,  very 
similar  to  this  alto-relievo.  It  u  common  amongst

iftring  the  s&me  arms  in  Gloucestershire

cesteratiiro,  according  to  a  MS.  in  my  possession, 
but  I  know  nothing  of  the  la.st-namea  branch. 

The  family  of  Nicholet?^  still,  I  believe,  extant, 
is  of  ancient  standing  in  Herefordshire  and  Wor- 
cestershire. Itichard  NicholetsofEastbam,  lilsq.f 
was  High  Sheriff  of  the  last-named  county  in  the 
reign  of  Charles  XL,  and  boro  for  arms,  argent,  on 
a  oend  aable  three  cinquefoils  of  the  ticld. 

The  crest  to  the  impaled  coat  of  Slaughter 
(quartering  Leche)  and  Frere  ?  at  Cheney  Court 
is  that  of  Leche,  viz.,  out  of  a  ducal  coronet  or, 
an  arm  in  pale  grasping  a  leech  entwined  round 
the  arm  vert.  It  is  now  bomo,  together  with  tho 
arms  described  by  D.  P.,  by  the  Leches  of  Garden. 

It  would  therefore  appear  that  the  Slaughters 
assumed  the  crest  of  Leche,  though,  as  Mr.  Udal 
remarks,  Edmondson  ascribes  to  them  an  eaglets 
head,  winged^  issuing  from  a  coronet,  and  a 
similar  crest  is  tricked  by  Dingley  (TTii/.  from 
Marble,  p.  330)  as  appearing  ou  the  tablHt  of 
Anne,  wife  of  Paris  Slaughter,  of  Slaughter's 
Court,  in  Tewkesbury  Church.  H.  8.  G.

Dr.  Frawkliw  (4»»'  S.  iv.  653;  v.  70.)  — If 
William  Temple  Franklin  was  tho  person  meant 
by  E.  L.  S.,  tlicn  ho  is  in  error  in  suppoMn^  his 
acquuntance  to  have  been  the  son  of  Dr.  Franklin, 
and  to  have  ever  been  governor  of  any  place.  His 
father  William  Franklin,  who  was  Dr.  Franklin's 
eon,  was  Governor  of  New  Jersey  prior  to  the 
American  revolution.  Of  William  Temple  Frank- 
lin the  following  anecdote  is  related,  which,  I  bo- 
Ueve,  has  not  as  yet  been  in  print.  He  and  one 
of  his  friends,  after  condemning  the  ordinary 
methods  of  commendng  conversntion  by  inquiries 
about  health  and  remarks  on  tho  weather,  resolved 
to  abandon  the  practice,  and  begin  with  any  idea 
that  might  occur  to  them  at  the  time.  Shortly 
afterwards,  W.  T.  F.  came  into  a  room  full  of 
company,  and  said  to  a  latly  with  whom  he  was 
acQuaiuted :  '^  Madam,  did  you  ever  eat  beans 
boiled  in  a  bagP  "  "  No,  «r,'^  said  the  lady  very 
indignantlj',  "  1  never  did,  and  I  don't  intend  to. '

TA«    KfngrammtU!$tt.    A    Seiection  from  the  Epigraiu 
Literature  of  Ancient^  Mediaeval,  and  Modem  Timet. 
With  Notee,  Ob»enation$j  lUuatratiotu^  and  an  Intro- 
duction.   By  the  Rev.  Henrr  Philip  Dodd,  M.A.  of 
Pembroke dollege,  Oxford.    (Bell  and  Daldy.) 
The  object  of  this  work  is  to  famish  the  English  reader 
with  a  selection  of  the  best  epif^rams  of  varionsperiodii,  in- 
cladiofcGreek,  Ancient  Latin,  Mediaeval  and  Modem  Latin, 
and  early  English  epigrams  which  have  been  neglected 
by  previoas  collectors ;  and  in  the  modem  section,  whilr 
directing  special  attention  to  the  best  epigrammatists  of 
our  own  country,  to  give  specimens  of  some  of  the  most 
noted  of  France   and  Germany.    Believing  the  Greek 
inscriptions  to  be  the  best  models  for  epigrammatic  writings 
the  editor  has  inserted  many  modern  pieces  which  take 
that  form,  although,  as  he  remarks,  "  according  to  the 
perverted  taste  of  later  times,  they  would  scarcely  b4  con- 
sidered epigrams." 

Mr.  Dodu  has  taken  great  pains  to  identify  the  writera 
of  the  epigrams,  and  to  famish  correct  texts,  for  it  may 
be  doubted  whether  compositions  of  this  kind  are  more 
frequently  misquoted  or  misappropriated.  When  we 
add  that  the  epigrams  are  inserted  in  chronological  order, 
and  accompanied  by  illustrative  notes  in  which  are  printed 
others  which  may  have  been  the  originals  of  tbem ;  that 
the  book  is  accompanied  bv  no  less  than  three  indexes  of 
authors,  .translators,  Ac.,  It  will  readily  be  understood 
that  the  work  constitutes  not  only  the  most  extensive, 
but  the  most  complete  and  valuable  collection  of  epigrams  ] 
which  has  yet  appeared— with  one  exception,  perhaps— 
and  that  exception  is  an  additional  recommendation,  it 
contains  no  epigrams  even  bordering  upon  real  impro* 
priety. 

The  Works  of  Christopher  Marlowe,  Including  his  Trans- 
lotions.  Edited  with  Notes  and  Introductinn  by  Lt.' 
Ck>lonel  Francis  Cunningham.  (Crocker,  Brothers.) 
Colonel  Cunningham  deserves  the  hearty  commendation 
of  all  students  of  the  Elizabethan  dramatists  fur  the  pains 
and  ability  which  he  here  bratows  upon  "  Marlowe's 
mighty  lines."  llis  introductory  sketch  of  Marlowe's  Life 
and  Writings  ia  excellent.  His  text  of  the  various  dramas 
and  poems  is  in  every  respect  satisfactory ;  and  his  illus- 
trative notes  well  considered  and  to  the  point.  The 
volnme  is  in  every  way  a  worthy  companion  to  the  edi- 
tor's cheap  and  excellent  edition  of  Massinger;  and  it 
would  be  difficult  to  award  higher  praise  to  this  new 
volume  of  "The  Mermaid  Library,"  as  this  series  has 
been  very  happily  termed  by  the  publishers. 
Anacreon  in  English.  Attempted  in  the  Metres  of  the 
Original.  Bg  Thomas  J.  Arnold.  (Hotten.) 
Mr.  Arnold's  translation  is  of  a  very  different  and 
inferior  order  from  that  which  we  have  just  noticpd. 
Englinh  unrhyming  lyrics  mast  have  peculiar  beauties 
to  compensate  for  the  absence  of  their  chief  ornament; 
and  previous  attempts,  like  the  present,  have  almtist 
uniformly  been  failures.  The  seemingly  artless  simpli- 
city of  Anacreon  becomes  bald  and  lifeless  in  a  purely 
literal  translation.    Such  Hues  as  — 

"  No  bull  one  ever  beard  of 
Did  navigate  the  sea  thus 
Excepting  only  this  one," 
show  how  easy  it  is  to  represent  the  worJj  without  the 
elegance  of  the  original  — 

**  Nisi  quod  pede  certo 
Diffcrt  sermoni,  sermo  merus." 
Identityof  metre  alone,  by  which  Mr.  Arnold  justifies  his  | 


experiment*  will  scarcely  redeem  sndb  Ueralibi 
above,  and  in  many  cases  ia  rather  ingenious  tki

Bg  J.  B.  Stone,  F.6.S.     (Longmans.) 

This  is  a  handsomely  printed  little  voluns^  ffl 

with   some  good  photographs,  compiled  by  tb 

from  a  number  of  notes  made  in  the  first  iniUBe 

own  amusement  only,  and  now  arranged  sudeo 

for  publication  at  the  request  of  his  frienda,  aaj 

hope  that  it  will  prove  OAeiul  to  visitors  to  theC^ 

one  of  the  most  perfect  pieces  of  architecture  in  ti 

land  Counties — whether  such   visitors   be  roU 

Lichfield  or  strangers.    When  Mr.  Stone  speaki\ 

being  no  similar  accoant  of  St.  Chad's  easy  ^  so 

must  have  forgottcu  Mr.  Murray's  Handbook.

Short  Headings  from  the  best  Authors.  Cas^ 
Edited  by  the  late  George  H.  Townshead.  I 
&Co.) 

This  IS  a  posthumous  work  of  the  ingeoiooi  S 
The  Manual  of  Dates.  The  object  is  to  give  a  dil 
reading  fur  those  who  have  little  leisure  for  stndv, 
the  selection  of  the  365  pieces^  of  which  it  coi 
from  the  best  writers  of  History,'Fiction,  Essiys,^ 
Travels,  and  Divinity  from  the  time  of  Eliisbetk 
own  days,  and  as  the  extracts  are  accompaoied  t; 
biographical  notice^  the  Author's  hope  that  tb 
will  nut  onlv  afford  a  good  general  view  ofqprl^ 
but  an  available  guide  to  a  more  extended  coamc 
ing,  is  one  which  will  probably  be  realised  br  i 
proportion  of  those  who  take  up  this  useful  Tofoa 
the  determination  to  turn  it  to  good  account.

portant  social  questions  of  this  day^how  our  lap"

responsible  for  the  supply  of  cheap  and  wboleian 

to  large  numbers.

in  its  object.  But  the  Sultan  has  lately  presfn 
Corviiia  to  the  Emperor  of  Austria,  and  the  book 
nificentiy  bound,  have  been  forwarded  to  Cooat  Ai 
for  pre-wrvation  as  historical  relics,  in  the  Hu

metit  with  opposition  from  some,  as  ia  the 

with  almost  ovpry  new  introduction ;  but  I 

H  convinced  myself  of  \t&  utility,  Mid  alao 

icftbility.  that  I  bopij  you  will  allow  it 

f£a"N.  &Q." 

mt  iucongruouA  nature  of  Greek  print- 
Ml,  I  am  rurv,  strike  anyoue  wbo  bu  any- 
to   do  witb  that  iangua^.      Some   such 
the  following-  must  pass  through  the 
©Terr  tiro  in  Greek  when  commencing 
: — How  odd  the  capitals  look!    AVhat 
tlicm  appear  ao  promiuent?   How  con- 
otfa«r  letters  seem  !     Fur  myself  I  can 
it  lo  nothing  better  than  printing  with 
type  for  the  amali  letters  and  liuman  for 
lapitoU     Oxi«  of  the  difiicultiea  to  a  Greek 
ia,  i  am  coDviitcod,  tliia  Strang  appear- 
of  (be  letters. 

That  I  piropoM  U,  that,  like  many  other  lau- 

HfH^  prvUeti  Greek  should  differ  trom  vrrittm 

>"ik.    X  noember  when  in  my  young  days  I 

^^Wd  lo  cow  aoBfl  Anglo-Saxon  m)m  a  printed 

^  htm  I  labaffioiialy  employed  myself  in  tran- 

i&f  MC^  letter  exactly  aa  it  appeared  in  the 

t  WYwdwifiK  that  even  (he  monks  of  old  should 

<  Wd  tb«  pctience  to  write  whole  boolis  in 

Bat  ere  long  1  discovered  that 


they  had  not  quite  such  bard  work  as  I  had 
ima^ned;  and  much  to  my  ease  of  mind,  found 
that  it  wan  not  so  dithcult  lo  write  Anglo-Saxon 
aa  I  had  before  thought.  So  it  has  come  to  pasa 
that  an  alphabet  hns  been  formed  for  printing 
An^^lo-Saxon,  notwithstanding  printing  wn»  in- 
vented long  after  Anglo-Saxon  was  reoUy  a 
living  tongue.  Even  among  the  Assyrian  and 
other  monument*,  as  I  have  just  been  reading, 
special  cursive  or  running  forms  of  writing  have 
been  discovered,  and  it  iippeara  evidejit  to  me, 
and  no  doubt  lo  others,  llmt  the  present  Gi*eek  is 
nothing  but  a  cursive  form,  and  indeed  as  such 
wo  still  use  it  when  writing.  As  is  well  known, 
all  the  very  early  Greek  and  lAtin  AISS.  were 
written  in  canitiils.  These  in  their  turn  gave 
WAV  to  uncials,  and  they  again  to  small  letters, 
which,  according  to  Astle  in  his  Origin  and  Pro- 
greM  of  Writiny,  1803^  W(?re  very  rarely  used, 
even  in  MSS.  anterior  to  the  middle  of  the  fourth 
cimtur)*. 

If  the  letters  from  «  to  w  be  examined,  it  will 
be  found  that,  with  few  exceptioms  such  as  A,  r,  xi 
kc,  they  can  all  be  made  williout  raisng  the  pen, 
iiud  that  this  object  waa  had  in  view  is  dijitinctly 
shown  by  th»j  two  forms  Q  and  ^,  k  and  x,  ^  and  ^, 
and  alao  by  sigma  in  the  middle  of  a  word  being 
formed  v  in  order  that  the  next  letters  may  be  the 
more  easily  commenced,  and  r  at  the  end.  The 
loop  at  the  bottom  of  7  especially  shows  it  to  be  a 
running  form. 

That  Greek  is  a  dead  language  is  no  argument 
for  the  alphabet  not  being  interfered  with,  as  thia 
baa  already  been  done  with  Latin,  Anglo-Saxo*L 
and  others  which  are  niso  dead  languages;  and 
we  may  be  quite  sure  that  bad  the  anciunt  Greeks 
themselves  lived  in  these  days  of  printing  thev 
would  have  been  the  lost  to  wish  their  cherisbeSl 
language  to  appear  in  its  present  really  slovenly 
garb.  That  we  Englishmen  and  our  neighbours 
on  the  Continent  wished  our  langnsges  to  appear 
in  as  pleasing  forms  as  possible  is  certain  from  the 
fact  that  after  tho  very  earliest  attempts  ot  print- 
ing, styles  uf  alphabets  were  contrived  for  that 
purpose  alone  for  mure  simple  and  clear  than  the 
written  one,  but  nt  the  same  time  more  difficult 
to  form. 

That  the  descendants  of  Homer  should  continue 
to  print  their  language,  as  I  believe  they  do,  in 
the  usual  form,  need  not  bo  considered  for  two 
reasons:  Istly,  In  the  proportion  that  the  present 
language  differs  from  lh\i  ancient,  m  tho  modem 
Greek  differs  from  his  forefather ;  and,  2ndly, 
I  think  it  will  be  generally  admitted  that  the 
Greek  classics  have  become  the  property  of  this 
whole  world. 

Aa  regards  the  nature  of  the  new  letters,  it  is 
more  in  a  type-founder's  line  than  mine  to  form 
a  good  alphabet  for  the  purpose  required ;  but  to 
show  that,  with  even  ordiaary  ingenuity,  a  very 


fair  one  luay  be  made  which  so  ne*rlv  re.iemblca 
thu  prefteutVritton  one,  that  nobody  having  once 
seen  the  writlen  and  printed  stylea  together  csould 
mistake  which  letter  oach  vrns  intended  for,  but^ 
although  resembling  it  so  doselv,  yet  more  Buit- 
nblc  for  print,  I  eend  you  a  s&etcU  of  my  own 
idea;  but  aa  it  would  require  a  woodcut,  I  do 
not  see  how  you  can  place  it  with  this  communi- 
cation ;  and  aJao  I  enclose  a  few  lines  from  Homer's 
liiadj  book  ix.  lines  1  to  (S,  written  in  my  own 
form  of  letter,  that  you  may  compare  it  with  the 
present  printing,  hearing  in  mind  that  I  am  by  no 
means  a  g<>od  araughtdmon. 

You  will  notice  that  I  do  not  propose  to  alter 
the  prcjicnt  capitals,  but  only  the  small  letters, 
doing  away  altoi^ether  with  the  7  form  of  sigma, 
OS  that  is  simply  for  conrenienoe.

Morgan  of  Panama,"  and  "Ilaroun  Alraschid," 
si^ed  G.  K.  Inman.  La  BeUe  A$aembUe  for 
SeptcAiber  1844  has  in  it  a  poem  entitled  "  Le 
premier  Grenadier  des  Armies  de  la  Republi(iue," 
by  the  late  J.  £.  Inman.  The  style  of  the  versi- 
fication is  so  similar,  that  I  hare  no  doubt  they 
are  by  the  same  person.  Can  anyone  tell  me 
what  was  his  name,  and  if  he  wrote  anything 
else?  Thouffh  not  high-class  poetry,  they  are

St.  JoHir  THE  Baptist. — In  Italy  are  many 
churches,  chapels,  and  shrines  dedicated  to  ''  San 
Giovanni  di  Uonca,"  and  we  find  numerous  repre- 
sentations, pictorial  and  sculptured,  where  St.  John 
baptises  by  effusion  from  a  bivalve  shell.  I  have, 
lu  some  coimtry  churches,  found  the  half  of  a 
large  bivalve  lying  as  an  adjunct  to  the  baptismal 
ioTit.  In  the  beautiful  Protestant  hymn  (Lind- 
sey*8  Selection)  — 

"  In  Judah*8  ragged  wilderness" — 
we  read  in  one  of  the  verses :  — 

"  And  o*er  liis  head  that  meekly  bends 
The  Biptiat  pours  the  WAve." 
So  that  the  idea  of  effusion  is  not  confined  to 
Catholics.    Is  there  any  Catholic  tradition  that 
John  baptised  by  effusion  from  a  bivalve  P 

James  Hekbt  Dixoit. 

The  Vtjxgate,  edition  1510.  —  I  should  be 
truly  obliged  if  any  one  could  inform  me  where  a 
copy  of  the  Vulgate  (4to,  printed  at  Lyons  in 
1510)  is  to  be  seen  with  a  perfect  title-page.  The 
copy  in  the  British  Museum  is  defective  in  this 
respect. 

Any  information  about  a  fine  geopraphical 
work,  *'  Orelius,"  will  also  be  valued.  As  I  have 
never  seen  this  work  I  am  unable  to  give  its  title, 
date,  or  size ;  but  in  1849  Mr.  Saxe  Bannister,  in 
his  notes  on  the  Hereford  Mappa  Mtmdi\  states 
that  there  was  then  a  noble  volume  in  the  libmry 
of  the  Vicars  Choral  at  Hereford,  "  deserving  to 
be  remembered,  if  only  for  a  drawing  it  contains 
of  Magellan's  ship  the  Victoria,  with  an  angel  in 
the  prow,  and  a  sublime  description."  This  volume 
was  the  gift  of  Lord  Scudamore — a  great  local 
benefactor  about  the  time  of  Charles  I.  It  is 
now  lost,  and  the  custos  and  vicars  would  be  only 
too  glad  to  recover  their  volume  by  payment  of 
any  reasonable  sum.  Francis  T.'IIavergai..

WABINE  THE  BALD. 

(4»*  S.  IT.  610.) 

Yoar  correspondent  G.  B.  H.  will  i 
feel  satisfied,  on  further  examination  of  C 
Vitalis,  that,  apart  from  the  evidence  aff 
the  exceedingly  valuable  notes  in  Bohn*i 
of  that  author,  1854,  drawn  from  the  beat 
and  French  authorities,  the  text  itself 
sufficient  proof  that  Warin  the  Bald  an< 
the  Viscount  were  one  and  the  same  in( 
and  that  moreover  Koginald  de  Baliol 
the  widow  of  the  said  Warin. 

The  learned  monk  relates,  book  iv. 
that  William  the  Conqueror  conferred  oi 
de  Montgomery  the  earldom  of  Shrewsb 
that  the  said  earl  "gave  his  niece  1 
(Aimeria)  "  and  the  command  of  Shrew 
Warin  the  Bald,  a  man  of  small  stature 
great  courage." 

That  the  earldom  of  Shrewsbury  waf 

empty  title,  nor  confined   to  the   town 

name,  it  is  but  necessary  to  remember 

earl   (comes)  under   the  feudal  system

(comitatus)  was  intrusted,  which  duty  wai 

exercised  by  his  deputy  or  vice-comes. 

over,  Earl  Roger  possessed  vast  domains  in 

shire  and  the  adjacent  shires,  and,  as  tl 

quernr's  lieutenant,  held  the  onerous   ch 

the   Welsh    Marches.    That   the    comre 

Shrewsbury,  which  he  deputed  to  Warin, 

limited  by  the  city  walls,  is  proved  by  th 

ment   added  by   Ordericus   Vitalis,   that 

"bravely   encountered    the   earl's  enerai

ORIGIN  OF  THE  BASaUES. 
(i"  S.  V,  80.) 

There  is  no  reason  for  supposing  an  Americaa! 
origin  of  the  Basques  or  Iberians.  In  his  ]at» 
lecture  Professor  Huxley  has  well  vindicated 
their  high  position  in  the  human  rnoe,  as  physi- 
cally and  mentally  cqnal  to  that  of  the  Aryans. 
There  is  no  ground  for  assuming  the  Bnsque 
language  to  be  abnormal.  It  is  certainly  not  so 
in  Its  grammatical  structure,  and  the  abk«ifncu  of 
allied  roots  in  other  languages  is  not  in  reality  a 
matter  of  philological  importance.  The  languageaj 
of  the  Ugro-Tartar  rtocli  exhibit  great  diversity' 
of  tvpe  in  their  main  radic^als. 

The  position  of  the  Iberians  in  Europe  and  Asia 
ia  relatively  recent,   and  does  not  comiwl  m  to 
seek  a  forced  origin  so  remote  as  that  asoigncid  by 
the  reviewer.     In  a  paper  read  before  the  Ethno- 
logical Society,  I  gave  evidence  of  the  presence! 
of  the  Iberians  in  Asia  Minnr,  which  must  havft 
barely  preceded  the  invasion  by  ihe  Hellene-*,  and 
IbavQ  suggested  that  the  Trojan  war  roprescnta 
the  last  Htruggles  of  the  Iberians  for  empire  in 
those  ctiuntriee.    The  Amazon  or  Tibeto-Cauca- 
sian  nations  appear  to  have]  preceded  the  Iberians 
in  Asia  Minor,  where  they  remain  as  a  permanent 
population.     There  are  philological  evidences  a^ 
to  the  Iberians  in  Greece,  Italv,  and  the  groat^ 
islandfl  of  the  Mediterranean.      (Itsh  Clakkb.

Xfitf:<  and  Qufrifjf  for  January  2-,  ia  of  more  th&n 
passing  int»*reHt.  Since  the  elaborate  researches 
of  Lucien  Bonaparte  and  those  whom  I  may  call 
his  scholars,  it  is  imposable  to  doubt  for  a  moment 
that  both  in  grammar  and  in  vocabulary  Bvique 
is  a  sister  tongue  of  the  Piji,  Vogul  and  other 
Ugrian  language!*.  Tliis  is  perfectly  clefU".  It  ia 
also  clear  that  William  Humboldt,  one  of  the 
profoundoat  of  modem  philologers,  has  proved 
that  the  ancestors  of  the  Basques  were  the  Ibe- 
rians, and  further  that  the  Ibenans,  far  from  being 
n  mere  colony  in  an  obscure  comer  of  Spain  and 
France,  were  spread  over  all  Southern  Europe, 
from  Albania  to  Cape  Finislerrc,  and  even  mora 
widely.  These  two  facta  are  now  almost  elemen- 
tary axioms  of  ethnology.  It  is  iupo-sible,  there- 
fore, to  accept  the  position  that  the  B«uquc'S  are  a 
colony  from  beyond  the  Atlantic.  But  thia  by 
no  means  concludes  the  question  as  to  the  con- 
nection of  the  Basques  and  the  Carib  population

elaborate  woodcut,  snowing  a  very  carefidly  cou- 
j;tructed  machine  and  acauold.  The  knife  and 
weight  are,  however,  suspended  by  a  cord,  which 
the  executioner  divides  with  a  knife,  and  in  this 
respect  the  mechanical  construction  of  the  Eng- 
lish instrument  is  less  advanced  than  that  of  the 
Uerman  model  of  half  a  century  earlier. 

It  is  very  clear  that  Dr.  Guillotin's  invention 
was,  like  many  others,  merely  a  revival.  I  could 
in^tiktice  so-called  inventions  which  have  been 
recently  patented,  and  proved  ^reat  commercial 
successes,  which  may  oe  found  accurately  de- 
scribed and  figured  in  works  printed  in  the  six-

George  a  Greene  of  course  alludes  to  the  famous 
Halifax  gibbet,  the  use  of  which,  I  have  heard, 
has  bueu  traced  up  to  the  time  of  Edward  III. 
This  is  engraved  in  Bishop  Gibson's  edition  of 
Camden's  i/n'^n I) Iff,  17:^:^,  aud  on  the  margin  of 
nn  old  map  of  Yorkshire  copied  in  Hone's  JSrery- 
dnij  Book  (i.  147).  Mr.  J.  Wilson  Croker,  in  hia 
pamphlet  on  the  HUtory  of  the  GmllotiHf  (Mur- 
ray, 1853,  reprinted  from  the  Quarterly  Jieineio, 
Dec.  1844}  says  the  pedestal  or  sLone  scatfold  wad 
recently  discovered  under  a  long  accumulation  of 
rubbish  and  soil  forming  the  grassy  mound  od 
which  the  gibbet  was  placed.  The  ancient  axe  is 
Htill  in  the  possession  of  the  lord  of  the  manor  of 
Wakefield.  Pennant  in  1774  published  an  account 
of  the  Halifax  gibbet  in  his  Tour  (iii.  8G5),  and 
states  that  he  saw  one  of  the  same  kind  in  a  room 
under  the  Parliament  House  at  Edinburgh,  intro- 
duced by  the  Regent  Morton : — 

**  It  is  in  the  form  of  a  painter's  eiMl,  and  about  10  feet 
tii^li:  St  four  feet  frum  the  bottom  in  a  cross  bar,  on 
which  ilie  felon  places  his  head,  which  is  kept  down  by 
another  placed  above.  In  the  inner  edge  of  the  firamV 
arc  fnrooves;  in  thcM  are  placed  a  shurp  ux(*,  with  a  VBai. 
weight  of  lead,  supported  at  the  ver^-  »ummit  by  a  pe^l 
to  ihat  peg  ifl  rattened  a  cord,  which  the  executioner 
cutting,  the  axe  lalis,  and  does  the  aOutr  effectually." 

This  is  the  well-known  "Maiden."  The  last 
to  be  executed  by  it  were  the  Marquis  of  Argrle 
in  1001,  and  his  son  the  Earl  in  1G85.  The 
Halifax  gibbet  was  not  used  Hfler  KWO,  and  wo 
sru  therefore  at  a  loss  to  understand  what  Dr. 
Louis  (the  Secretary  of  the  Academy  of  Surgery) 
meant  when  he  says,  in  his  report  to  the  Ajs- 
sembly,  March  20,  1792,  that  a  machine  like  the 
guillotine  was  then  in  use  in  England.  I'^or  a 
short  time  it  was  called  the  ZouUohj  but  the 
name  Guillotine  had  been  given  to  ^lucli  a  ma- 
chine three  years  before  it  was  invented,  i.e.  in 
1780,  when  Dr.  Guillotin,  a  busybody,  brought 
the  subject  before  the  Assembly.  The  Doctor 
Vir(.m;j:ht  a  great  deal  of  ridicule  upon  him&elf  by 
stating  that^  with  the  machine  he  wishod  to  in- 
troduce, he  would  "strike  utT  your  head  in  the

Ron  there  is  no  other  authority  than  that  of 
Jewish  hintorinn*  who,  when  he  undertook 
frrite  historically  in  Greek,  evidently  thought 
tttlf  entitled  to  rival  the  proverbinl  nit'ndncity 
M  Grecian  masters.  I  .say  this  with  cootidence, 
or  *  mofft  careful  examination  of  his  volumi- 


nous butory.  That  Josepbus  knew  more  of  tbe 
genealotry  of  the  AsmoiMean  nriocea  than  is  to  be 
lound  in  the  hn»t  book  of  Maccabees,  no  man 
living:  would  bu  able  to  persuade  uie.  It  is 
admitted  that  Aj^^oit-aiM  ia  merely  a  Greek  form 
of  the  word  'WJWn.  Now  this  word  is  in  the 
emphatic  plural  o^  the  Arftmrnnn  lanjufti^e;  and 
when  the  Ore*k  termination  oTiit  and  the  I^tin 
trwt  are  formed  from  such  plurnlc,  they  produi-i*  «d- 
jcctivR,  referring  not  to  one  person,  but  to  rU*9W 
or  nations.  To  this  description  of  words  bolong 
ChaldwuB,  Hehra.'U8,  Juda-ue,  &.(:  ;  luid  AumuHt^t* 
merely  si^mifiefl  "  of,  or  relating  to,  or  foruiinff  one 
of."  tiie  iiumerou8  sect  of  the  zealots  for  iho  law. 
Atmonanin  (sirnplv)  could  no  more  have  bnen  the 
name  of  an  individual  than  Chaldroufl  or  Jndipus. 
3.  We  may  now  turn  to  the  atlcnipta  of  the 
Germnn  critica  (on  whose  researches  Mk.  IJucic- 
TON  so  impHeilly  reliest  to  cxplnin  Hebrew  worda 
rt-'ft-rrible  to  the  root  chdaham^  Unfortunately,  in 
the  existing  Hebraism,  no  such  root  is  now  to  be 
found.  Thuit  deprived  as  it  were  of  a  cynosure, 
mf>deni  critici!»m  ban  had  recourse  to  the  Arabic, 
and  ha*^  selectt-d  the  root  hhashtitna  as  the  proiwr 
Arabic  equivalent  for  the  misainft  Hebrew  root  rht't- 
nham.  liut  the  concatenation  of  ideaaelicited  from 
the  Arabic  hhnthama  is  poridiarto  the  nonuides  of 
the  desert :  it  is  ewentially  Bcdaweon,  and  c*»uld 
never  have  existed  in  the  race  of  Israel  after  their 
conquest  of  and  -settlement  in  Canaan. 

Ouo  of  the  primitive  luranin^  of  the  verb 
hhnsfwmn  is,  '*  to  eaU"  As  ealiii;;,  well  followed 
up,  tmder  favourable  oircumstanciiS,  produce  obe- 
sity, "to  f(row  fat"  became  a  secondary  weaning: 
of  the  verb.  This,  in  the  fourth  conjugation, 
oii/ht  to  have  produced  the  sense  **  to  niokr^att  or 
fatim,  by  supplying?  a  person  amply  with  iood"; 
but  ihift  meanin;;^  appears  to  have  di^opped  out 
from  the  tisit^^ea  of  the  lanp"uage.  In  the  eighth 
conjugation,  faowever,  we  find  thu  meaning,  "to 
have  a  large  housebold,  and  many  followers  or 
clientd," 

Notliing  is  more  ea«y  than  to  discover  tbe  links 
which,  in  the  Arabic  mind,  united  IbeAo  various 
ideas.  In  the  innermost  bowels  of  the  dewrl 
(/y  nohhitn  7-6ycfi,  as  an  Arab  would  phroae  it), 
where  food  is  ciceedinjfly  scarce,  and  a  wanty 
supply  of  dates  forms  tht?  ordinary  aiisLenance, 
the  hlack-visaged  parched-up  ]?edaween  is  fre- 
quently little  better  than  a  bag  of  bones — an 
animated  skeleton.  In  these  regions  the  happy 
mortal  who  is  able  to  build  up  for  himself  a 
goodly  tenement  of  flesh  is  of  course  supposed  to 
be  enviablv  rich.  Riches,  in  the  desert  aa  else- 
where, induce  the  ideas  of  reverence,  honour, 
nobility,  &c  If  a  man  is  able  to  keep  on  open 
table,  bounteously  spread  for  all  comers  (as  many 
of  the  Arab  emira  are  oblij^ed  to  do  in  order  to 
preserve  their  imp<»rtanfe),  he  easily  coUecla  a

and  reUiners.  Under  such  pleasimt  cireumflUnccA,  ^ 
hehitneelf  nAturnll7become«"AAaiAymoN,multum 
reverendufl  vir."  All  this  is  eMeatUlly  fouaded 
on  the  idea  of  Mtinff;  and  the  whole  tnin  of 
tiiought  18  cantiDcd  to  the  barren  regioni  of  the 
de^rL  It  could  never  have  prevailed  in  Canaan, 
whcro  food  woe  plentiful  and  men  of  gigantic 
atature  werv  numerous.  To  attribute  the  notiona 
of  the  Dednween  to  men  living  under  the  shade 
of  their  vinea  and  olive*,  i«  as  it  Sir  Joshua  Rey- 
nolds, undertaking  to  pftiot  the  death  of  Cfcaar, 
had  represented  the  dictator  in  the  costume  worn 
in  the  paititer'a  own  timea — in  a  coot  of  purple 
velvet,  without  a  collar,  knco-broechca,  ailk  atock- 
inga,  powdered  hair,  and  a  pig-tail. 

4-  We  may  safely  say  then,  upon  general  prin- 
ciples, that  modem  criticiom  is  wrong  in  reiving 
in  this  particular  instance  on  the  Arabic.  Thiif 
fact  will  become  still  more  evident  when  we 
examine  the  viirious  cases  in  detail. 

(l.)  Of  words  referrible  to  the  nussing  Hebrew 
root  VfuisJutm^  the  earliest  which  occurs  is  Cfuuh- 
mtrnah.  This  was  one  of  the  stations  at  which  the 
Hebrews  encamped  in  the  great  desert  of  Paraa — 
*'  that  great  and  terrible  wilderness,"  as  Moses  calls 
it.  Gesoniufl  explEuna  Chatthmonah  to  mean  "a  fat 
soiL"  The  notion  of  a  fat  wjil  in  thedeeert  of  Paran 
is  ludicrous  in  the  extreme;  but  the  sitnations 
chosen  for  the  desert  stations  were  usually  near 
wells,  and  how  fertile  a  source  these  welU  were 
of  cmuiaiitm,  <inyyf  and  strife  in  the  desert,  where 
water  is  so  peculiarly  valuable,  may  be  easily' 
collected  from  the  history  of  Abrnham  and  hia 
descendants  in  the  book  of  Genesis. 

(2.)  The  same  observations  apply  to  the  town  of 
Cheahmon,  whieh  was  situated  immediately  to  the 
north  of  the  mountains  now  inhabited  by  the 
Azazimah  Arabs.  If  Mr.  liucKTON  imagines  that 
any  "  fat  soil "  is  to  be  found  in  this  region,  I 
advise  him  to  travel  to  Palestine  and  commence 
his  investigatious.  But  here  we  may  easily  trace 
the  elements  of  rivalry  and  strife ;  for  C^heahmon 
was  one  of  the  Canaanite  towns  on  the  very  border 
of  Edoni,  and  wo  know  the  strong  rivalshi'p  which 
subsists  among  borderers.  The  whole  of  this 
border  line  bristled  with  fortresses  in  the  old 
Canaanito  tlmeSi  os  appeara  from  the  names  of 
maay  of  the  towns.  Traces  of  these  fortresses 
were  discovered  by  Dr.  Robinson. 

(3.)  The  next  instiiUL-e  of  a  word  derived  from 
the  auppa^itious  C/tashitm  Is  Chitahmanmmf  which 
occurs  in  Psiilm  Uviii.  ver.  32.  The  psalmist  is 
.describing  the  triumphs  of  Jehovah  among  the 
"leathen,  and  the  convrrsion  of  the  neighbouring 
nations,  who  were  to  flock  to  his  temple:  — 

"  Cbaibinannim  Bball  come  out  of  Kgi'pt :  Cash  shall 
faaatcn  to  bold  oat  Ma  tianfU  to  <io<l.** 

At  the  time  when  the  ^Vlexandrine  Greek  trans- 
Ution  was  made,  the  meaning  of  OhaHbmannim 
Wm  already  lost  to  the  Jews.    The  Oreek  trans- 


lator renders  the  word,  conjecturally,  hy  ^pfsfha 
(or  ambaModors):   tha  Synac   and   the  Vulgate^, 
knowing  nothing  better,  adopt  this  a^njeotnre.  The 
Chaldee  puaphrast,  oompletely  puuled, 
the  wiser  ooaise  of  giving  the  llubrew  woi 
Cbaldee  fonn.    Modem  criticismf  leaoinff 
broken  crutch  of  the  Arabic  renders  ChatKn 
by  "  princes  or  nobles" ;  '*  Ni  follor,  vir  pii 
exclaims  Gesenius,  rapturously  gloating  oa 
idea  of  "  fataeas." 

Bat  if,  instead  of  pot-bellied  noblea,  we  substi- 
tute the  idea  of  zeaUitu  convrrU,  the  verses  of  iKs 
psalmist  aasome  a  very  diflerent  and  more  eultid 
character :  — 

*'  Zealoui  converts  ilisit  com«  out  of  Egypt  ( 
»ball  hoAtea  to  hold  out  bit  liuiilft  to  God," 

(4.)  The  only  remaining  word  to  be  referred  ta 
the  root  Chtulutm  is  ChfMhnm — the  proper  name  1 
one  of  the  Jews  who  accompanied  Ezra  into  Judaea. 
This  word  is  explained  by  Geacmius  (merely  <« 
the  baseless  autnority  of  the  Arabic)  to  rown 
"  rich,  opulent " ;  but  among  the  Jews  thuinefllvM 
an  old  iriidition  prevails  that  it  was  only  th» 
poorer  iu<lividuals  "of  their  nation  who  accom- 
panied Ezra.  In  this  case  aHo,  therefore,  "«•- 
loQs  "  seems  the  more  correct  explanation. 

The  pressure  of  other  occupation.?  had  preveBtoi 
nie  from  observing  the  remarks  of  Mr.  Hlcci^*^ 
till  yesterday,  when  they  were  pointed  out  t*  (»' 
by  a  friend.  I  hasten  to  reply  to  thrm;  firrt 
really  seoma  to  me  that  they  are  not  call  id*t«t 
to  produce  a  favourable  impression  of  the  pw*B* 
state  of  biblical  criticism  in  Eogland. 

As  far  as  I  am  concerned,  discussion  is  do* 
closed.  I  fhall  not  engage  in  any  further  oB' 
troveray  on  the  subject  of  the  Asmonwans.  .H^ 
BucKToy  may  probably  choose  to  repjj  -  "^  *J 
that  case,  I  'hope  he  will  not  be  offended  if  I 
requeat  him  to  favour  us  with  somethinsr  thit  ■ 
really  his  own — something  indicative  m' 
investigation-  Our  national  rcputati-i 
ciam  is  becoming  ridiculous  from  the 
constantly  borrowing  from  the  copious,  bull 
bemuddledand  too  frequently  delp*  -  -■'■'  *"' 
of  German  criticism.    No  one  i*   i 

myself  to  render  due  honour  to  th^  i « 

tigiition,  the  original  views,  and  the  often 
results,  of  the  critical  studies  of  t1».-  T..iit*>ui 
at  the  same  time,  we  cannnt  fail 
wild  hubit  of  creating  baseless  m  'O 

quent  want  of  rational  connection  in  thnc]

Scots:  BoExiNG  of  Alloa  House,  etc.:  Ebskisb 
Familt  Book-plate  (4*"  S.  t.  111.) — Lately  I 
purchased  tomo  books,  and  remarked  that  two 
large  book-plates  had  been  cut  out  of  each  volume, 
except  that  here  and  there  very  suiatl  portions  were 
left.  The  book-plates  at  the  commencement  of 
the  volumes  were  impressions  of  that  mentioned 
by  your  correspondent  J.  M.  Though  the  person 
who  used  the  knife  imsgined  he  had,  by  his  deep 
cutting,  erased  every  trace  of  the  engraving,  1 
discovered  the  engraver's  name,  part  of  the  tower 
of  Alloa,  and  the  letters  or  in  "  prii>r."  Having 
in  my  collection  of  book-plates  a  good  impression 
of  the  interesting  book-plate  used  by  the  Erskine 
family,  I  was  enabled,  upon  comparing  it  with 
the  portions  in  the  bonks,  to  discover  that  the 
volumes  once  contained  the  book-plate  to  which 
your  correspondent  refera.  At  the  end  of  the 
volumes  are  parts  of  anotner  book-plate  :  a  shield 
of  arms  hanging  from  a  tree,  but  only  so  small  a 
portion  of  the  arms  has  escaped  the  "knife  that  I 
can  but  just  perceive  that  the  chargen  in  the  arms 
were  somethmg  like  pines.  I  am  informed  that 
the  library  from  Alloa  was  sold  in  Edinburgh 
about  forty-five  years  a^o ;  and  that  but  few  of 
the  books  escaped  the  knives  used  by  the  servants, 
who  destroyed  the  baok-plates  by  order  of  the 
heirs.  Many  fine  books  were  injured.  Can  J.  M. 
or  any  correspondent  of  "  N.  &  Q."  state  to  what 
family  the  book-plate  belonged  which  accom- 
panied those  having  the  tower  of  Alloa  engraved 
on  them  P  The  Alloa  tower  bonk-plato  was  placed 
at  the  commencement,  the  otlier  book-plate  at 
the  end  of  each  volume.

"Fall "for  ^^Actttmn"  (3'**  S.  vii.  170;  4"' 
S.  V.  20,  180.) — Am  an  evidence  that  the  use  of  the 
word  fall  for  autumn  was  a  legitimate  English 
expression,  and  is  not  an  Americanism,  as  many 
persons  suppose,  I  would  quote  a  sentence  from 
William  Ponn'a.  letter  to  the  Free  Society  of 
l^adew,  dated  the  10th  of  0th  month,  1083.  He 
is  describing  the  seaflons  of  the  year  as  he  had 
experienced  them  in  Tennsvlvania,  where  he  had 
''  lived  over  the  coldest  and  hottest  that  the  oldest 
liver  in  the  province  can  remember,"  and  he  thus 
begins:  "First,  of  the  fall,  for  then  I  came  in."

crest,  bearing  axure  an  escallop  or,  and  omitting 
the  several  quartering^  described  above  aa  peculiar 
to  Smith  of  Carano — arises  from  tlni  circumstance 
of  his  descent  from  Smith  of  Camno  in  the/tmiale

AUving  language  must  from  the  veiy  necessitj

calculation  and  aiiticipalioD.     On  what 

#  tli»t  s^'h'CtioQ  is  made  it  would   be  hard

Most  of  tbeae  perish  in  the  utterance. 

aeem  to  Kati»fv  a  want,  and   are  bandied 

\  in  coaveraatiiiu  until  tbey  force  their  way 

genertU  u««.     Many  of  these  are    technical 

on*,  which  by  a  very  simple  metaphor  easily

u  tl>«ir  original  appiiraiion.     Take  the  word 

kaiU  "  for  inatancOf  ori^inully  applied  to  the 

nf  pLacing  a  railway  cunriige  on  a  siding  out 

ha  uiain  line;  bnw  exactly  it  expresees  the 

olart  of  (TvUiugrid  of  a  troiibleeonie  or  uaeleee 

dXiVT  by  pluciu^'  him  where  becamiot  interrupt 

main  current  of   bu^ineas!    Tho    Scriptural 


"cAve*'  of  Adullum  has  become  an  adopted  br- 
word  for  a  small  clique  who  unite  to  obstruct  tne 
party  with  which  they  usually  Odaociate.  To 
"  cave  iu  " — a  term  taken  from  the  practice  of 
the  navvies  in  digging  eartJiworka,  when  the  lower 
part  is  underniined  until  it  can  no  longer  suMtftia 
the  superincumbent  mass — has  become,  in  Ame- 
rica at  least,  a  phrase  to  indicate  a  man's  giving 
war  when  he  can  no  longer  maintain  oppo&ition. 

Our  brethren  in  America  are  much  more  ready 
in  tho  adoption  of  new  words,  and  in  changing  the 
application  of  old  ones,  thau  we  are  on  this  side 
the  Atlautic.  Three  of  their  most  recent  adapta- 
tions are  the  wordtt  at  the  head  of  this  article. 

"  Interview  "  is,  as  we  all  know,  a  noun  derived 
from  the  French  aUrevuB.  In  modem  literslure 
it  is  nerer  used  as  n  verb,  nor  is  it  ao  given  in  our 
dictionaries.  Neilhrr  the  French  entrrvuennt  the 
verb  s'entrevofr  arc  found  in  Cotgrave's  Dintionary 
(1650).  nor  in  ^i6nn^vii  Dictiututttire  Etymutotjitpte 
of  1750;  nor  is  the  English  equivalent  found  in 
Uowel's  diclionarj-  of  lOGO,  The  only  quntalions 
in  which  tlie  word  is  employed,  given  by  Johnson, 
are  taken  from  Hooker,  Shakespeare,  and  Milton. 

Entrevoir  would  seem  to  be  taken  from  a  low 
Latin  form  iuterviderf^  but  no  such  word  is  to  bo 
found  ia  Ducango  or  other  similar  glossaries;  the 
word  is  therefore  of  comparatively  modem  date. 
Yet,  strange  to  say,  tho  very  oarlipst  Vnown  use 
of  tho  word  is  a  verb,  and  is  to  be  funnd  in  MulTs 
Chronicle,  "The  Union  of  the  two  Nobhr  and  Il- 
lustrate Families  of  Lancaster  and  York,"  which 
was  tirst  priuttKl  in  1642.  The  following  is  the 
passage: — 

**  Their  tnutualt  frenrlm,  by  ehsrytable  cxhortadoo  and 
Kodlv  adiiertiwmeat,  rxhorled  tlium  to  rencwc  their  old 
tone  and  famvlvBrytyc,  ati'I  to  mete  and  enterviFu  iu  some 
pliicc  deceut  Aud  conveaicQl." 

We  do  not  meet  with  the  word  again  for  a 
century,  and  when  it  roappears  it  is  altogKber 
used  as  a  substantive,  which  charncterit  has  since 
maintained.  The  Atitericau  reporters,  then,  when 
th^-y  talkof  **  interviewing  "  our  Prince  Arthur, 
find  laying  themselves  out  to  "interriew"  every 
nntnbility  who  comes  within  their  range^  are 
r*  Filly  only  reviving  tho  original  use  of  the  word 
in  nur  Inngnage. 

The  other  verb  *'  excur,"  which  has  lately  been 
introduced  by  the  American  reporter*,  bas  a 
similar  history.  Excurro  is  a  cla«»ical  Ijitin 
verb  in  common  ws*.  but  which  does  not  appear 
to  have  been  repn»ducod  either  in  French  or 
Italian.  In  both  langmg.-s  we  have  the  Bub- 
stootive  excurnon^  Fr.,  eacur$ion«  Itab,  whenoe 
our  word  "excursion."'  We  have  the  verb  "in- 
cur*' as  well  as  the  substantive  "incursion."  and 
there  aroms  no  valid  reason  why  the  verbal  foixn 
"exciir"  should  not  be  employed.  In  jm tint  of 
fact  tho  verbal  form  teas  first  employed.  Richard- 
I  Gon  («<6  wcr)  states  that  the  verb  "  ©xcur"  ia 


I 


u*3d  tiT  Ilftrvoy.  I  presume  the  great  pliy  siciBD 
Dr.  Wai.  H«rrer  U  indicated,  but  no  refere  nee  U 
nrtm.  The  curliest  use  of  **  excareioo"  quoted 
IS  from  Drttmtma's  Pa^iorahf  hj  WUliftm  IJrown, 
»bo  it  I02i).  Here  then,  airain,  when  the  Ameri- 
can ponny-a-lineriufQrms  ua  that  "  the  Pri  nee  and 
bis  piirty  *  excuired '  from  New  York  to  Albany," 
be  is  only  revUiog  &  very  old  Ea{jliih  form,  and 
supplying  an  obvious  want  Let  me  intrest  him, 
bowover,  to  say  "  excurred,"  and  not  *' excurted," 
which  is  Tile,  and  rominds  one  too  much  of 
"squirted"  and  "dirtied." 

Thts  verb  to  "  orate "  cwmot,  I  fear,  plead 
ancient  tiaage.  It  u  a  very  lueful  word,  however, 
and  indicates  somelhingrather  ditfureat  from  our 
"  making  a  tpeech."  The  expression  places  be- 
fore our  miD<r8  eye  very  distinctly  the  gentlemen 
wh'>  occupv  "  the  floor  "  of  tho  Senate  House  or 
House  of  Jiepre*entativos  for  6ve  or  six  hours  at 
a  time,  apropo$  of  things  in  ^fnoral,  that  tbeir 
oration  ma^  be  printed  and  circulated  amongst 
their  fsr-distant  conBtituenUj  in  Wisconsin  or 
California.  The  word  ia  wanted  and  it  will  live. 
There  ore  oth«r  innovations  which  mi^ht  be  men- 
tioned, but  I  fear  I  have  "excurred"  and  "orated" 
tonf7  enough,  and  must  lenx'c  tbe  rest  to  a  future 
period,  J.  A.  PiCTOK.

HEXRY  EARL  OF  GALWAT. 

The  notice  in  77w  Timti  of  the  dcatb  of  a 
ffentlamaa  who  had  been  for  the  long  period  of 
fifty-four  years  vicar  of  Micheldevcr,  Flants,  re- 
minds c_t  of  the  following  entry,  which  was 
ahown  tn  £ie  last  summer  in  the  register  of 
burials  of  Ir.  it  pnribh  : — 

"  Ilcnry  Karl  of  Galway  died  September  0,  snd  wa* 
buried  Siiptember  6,  1720,  by  Johu  Imlicr,  Curate  of 
SUaKod," 

This  Henry  Karl  of  Oulwav*  vbo  found  his 
last  resting-place  iu  a  numnsbire  viiliige,  was  a 
Frenchman,  the  son  of  that  Marquis  de  Ruvigny 
who  ot  upwards  of  eighty  years  of  age  left  Franco 
and  took  up  his  abode  in  England  on  account  of 
his  Huguenot  principles  and  Protestant  fiulh. 
Henry  d**  Uuvigny  entered  the  Knglish  army,  and 
iO  ffreatly  di-«tinguls]ied  himself  in  tlie  Irish  wars 
of  William  HI.  that  ho  was  created  first  Vitt- 
count  and  afterwards  Earl  of  Galway  iu  the 
Irish  peerage,  and  was  ou  more  thou  one  occasion 
apprtinted  one  of  the  Lords  Justices  in  Ireland. 
Lord  Galiivay,  however,  is  best  known  in  English 
history  from  having  been  in  command  of  the 
KngU'th  and  Portuguese  army  at  the  fatal  battle  | 
of  Almanza,  fought  againflt  the  French  and  Spanish 
army  on  April  14,  1707  (O.S.),  commanded  by 
the  Duke  ot  Uerwick,  wheu  moat  of  the  EnjJilish 
were  killed  ur  made  prisoners  of  war,  having 
bfM^n  abandoned  by  the  Portuguese  at  the  Brst 
cbarge. 


This  battle  of  Almanxa  has  alwavs  attract 
notice  from  the  remarkable  fact  <>f  the  FjtgU 
army  having  been  commanded  br  a  Fnmchm 
and  the  French  army  by  an  Englishman.  In  t 
engagement  Lord  Galwar  lost  his  right  arm^  and 
appears  subsequently  to  Lave  lived  n  private  and 
retired  life.  And  now  bow  did  it  happen  that 
this  Frcucbmao  and  Irish  peer  was  buried  at 
Micheldever?   A  reference  to  a  few  no'  :s 

this  circumstance.    Lord  Qalway  wa^  '  x 

to  Rachel  I^y  Rusaell,  tbe  widow  lor  lotV 
^cnra  of  William  Lord  Kusaell,  who  was  ht^head, 
in  Lincoln's  Inn  Fields  on  July  SI,  168.1.  Itocb 
Lndr  Kuasell  was  the  daughter  of  Thomas  Wrii 
tbealey  Karl  of  Souihaiupton  and  Mademoisei 
de  Ruvigny,  sister  of  the  Marquis  dn  Ikarigny. 

Tbe  estate  of  Micheldever  bf>lunged  to  Lad; 
Russell,  and  Stratton,  clo^  to  Micheldever,  vv 
her  place  of  refiidence  in  the  counlrv.  \/jti 
Oslway  was  her  intimate  friend  and  alTectioitstA 
relative,  and  may  perhaps  have  died  while  oa  i 
visit  at  Stratton,  or  else  have  died  at  a  readencB 
which  he  had  in  Hampshire,  not  far  from  StrattoOi 
called  Rookley.  At  any  rate  there  con  be  Bu 
doubt  but  that  to  hi:*  relationship  to  Latly  Itiuspli 
we  must  ascribe  the  cause  ut  Lord  (Jalw;* 
being  buried  at  Micheldever.  The  inlimatsaiul 
afTebtionate  friendship  that  existed  betwt^en  them 
is  shown  b)'  the  following  extract  of  a  lettct 
from  Lady  Russell  to  Lord  Galway,  dated  FcIk 
ruary  13, 1718: — 

"  To-morrow  your  b*'aUh  will  not  ba  nmitt' ■'

No  tablet  ur  monument  at  Micbeldevar

from  a  fire  which  some  sixty  years  ^p'  -'—'——»'

In  accordance  with  vour  title,  I  end 
query — whether  it  might  not  be  agreeabU 
feelings  of  the  Duke  of  Redford  or  lbs  " 
Devonshire  or  the  Duke  of  Rutland,  d( 
from  Lady  Rusgell's  son  and  two  datt|

An  Unlooked-for  Coriibctioit  of  a  Pkoof- 
SnBKT. — So  many  yeara  have  passed  since  the 
occurrence  of  the  amusing  nuecdote,  which  I 
extract  from  a  letter  written  to  mo  iu  If^tO,  by 
tbe  princtpitt,  though  uninteutional,  actor  in  it  (a 
youn^r  aulbor  of  great  promi.te,  but  who  WAh 
taken  too  enrly  fi-om  his  frieuda  and  the  public), 
tliat  I  think  tfiere  can  now  be  no  objection  to  its 
publication  for  tho  entertainment  o^  some  of  the 
renders  of  "N.  &  Q." 

••  The  othfr  dsy  at  my  publisher^,  as  I  wti^  corrt^cting

WAKEFIELD  PARISH  CHllSCH. 
(4"*  S.  V.  1G3.) 

Mt  ftttmtirm  haa  been  called  to  a  ctminitiiiica- 
lion  in  your  oolumnA  r<?spooting  the  proposed  re- 
paving  of  the  chancel  of  the  ftbov»vnained  church. 
If  the  wriU'r  statca  hia  cose  in  ignorance  of  the 
facta,  he  niny,  peihnjw,  be  f?liid  of  fuller  informa- 
tion. The  committee  (of  whom  I  fluspoct  Lim  to 
be  m  member)  expressed  a  wish  to  repave  the 
chancel,  upon  which  J  wrote  to  the  chairman 
strongly  urging  the  ctitims  of  deceased  parish- 
ioners to  have  their  memoriuls  respected,  and 
urgfntly  dit^snading  the  committee  from  r«- 
movinjr  thern.  I  rnay  mention  that  the  tombstones 
were  those  nf  privishiouers  of  the  lont  century  or 
two,  Dot  anciuut  tnemorifll^;  but  I  atrongly  hold 
that  such  mementoes  should  be  rtuipected. 

I  wunt  further:  I  had  a  specification  prepared 
for  the  ri'piiratikn  nud  careful  rolftving  of  all  these 
memorinl  stones,  contaioing  the  atrongest  iiy  unc- 
tions ngninfft  the  destruction  of  any  of  them.  1  waa 
the  more  urgent  because  I  had  been  inadvertently 
betrayed  into  the  error  of  designing  a  pavaroeut 
for  the  altar  space  before  I  knew  of  the  existence 
of  some  ftiuiihir  stones  j  and  I  was  most  an.viouji 
not  to  allow  a  single  monumental  inscription  to 
be  lost  jji  thf*  piirt  now  under  consideration. 

I  received  tbe  following  letter  from  the  com- 
mittee on  the  receipt  of  my  specification  and 
plan : — 

'•  At  the  la»l  meeting  of  iho  Renlorntion  Committee  a

Then  follow  some  flaggeetiaaa  about  the  new 

floor : —

mdudcd  iu  tbe  propoaed  plan  and  rcjiiter.'' 

In  reply  to  this  I  reiterated  my  objection,  wtifar 
sdmitting  that,  if  tbey  were  determinrd  to  I*- 
move  the  memorials,  tlie  plan  they  propofwd  ti1» 
recording  them  might  be  tbe  next  l>e.-*l  altwnt- 
tivo.      And   in   sending  a  pl.'tn    aa   roqurated,  I 
wrote  on  the  same  that  I  acnt  it  in  complisnn 
with  their  instructions,  but  that  my  on       : 
and  wishea  were  for  the  preservation 
tonibetones.     All  this  while  not  one  wo 
pathy  did  I  receive  from  one  niouiber  vi

1  may  moution  that  the  expression  rMpocHfj 
"  B  Stanordshire  formcrV  kit<*him  "  is  a  quotaiu*

jMra  Apo  rm  A  moDurneuta)  slab  iit  Stnnton  Ilar- 
eourt  cuurch,  Oion,  ivhich  Itid  to  a  wries  of  com- 
nuaicatioas  on  the  abore  subject  tending  to  abow 
that  tke  prHcrtice  was  not  uncommoa  at  various 
{wriods  in  the  case  of  luilitnry  ciptciina ;  and  the 
eoggcfltioQ  was  made  that  in  that  of  the  CIup- 
ha^^and  Mauleverers  atUolton  Priory  they  were 
tDtrvellnusly  buried  aa  being  marvellous  men.  At 
lc»«t  thirt  waa  aaaigned  as  the  reason  for  leaving 
11  in  that  posture  when  the  ropes  med 

!!.  the  foot  of  his  coHin  broke.     Fuller 

in  hii  U\irthiea  mentions  that  Sir  William  Paget, 
who  died  in  15C3,  "ia  buriefl  in  Li<:hfield,  and 
Bot  ifl  the  vault  under  the  church  of  Drnyton  in 
Xiddleanx,  where  the  rest  of  that  family,  I  cannat 
aay  lie  (as  whose  coffins  are  erected), but  are  very 
completi-Iy  reposed  in  a  peculiar  posture^  which  I 
BKfet  not  with  eUewhcre  ;  the  horror  of  a  rault 
beinK  much  abated  with  the  li^'litneas  and  sweet- 
D«aa  thateof.''  As  to  FJen  Joneon,  it  seems  unde- 
ddtMi  whether  want  of  cash  or  want  of  space  led 
to  his  *T»*l  interment.  That  he  was  so  buried  ia 
Mati<d  to  have  been  found  to  bo  the  case  en  his 
gATe  bein/  opened  some  years  aince.  That  want 
of  ipace  was  not  the  caun^  ia  proved  by  many 
Jittbsequent  interments:  but  that  economy  waii 
liJtely  from  Jack  Younj^s  eighteonpenny 
of  an  inscription,  as  related  by  Aubrey.  The

n  .rtunity  of  inspectinfr  the  I 
iie  north  chancel   aisle  of 
-Kuug  cnun.li,  >'jriolk.    It  waa  probably  con- 


structed by  Sir  John  Hobart,  son  of  Sir  Henry, 
who  acquired  the  property  from  the  Clere  family 
by  purchase.    Sir  John  built  the  hall,  and  the 
vault  aeenis  of  the  eautc  dnte.    It  ia  of  fine  gauged 
red  brickwork,  and   ia   formed   into   a  seriea  of 
niches,  in  and  about  which  are  nineteen  co(En4 
placed  erect      The  first  is  that  of  Sir  John  him- 
self, who  died  lfM7  :  the  last,  that  of  the  lirat 
Earl  of  Ruckinghamahire,  who  died  1766.     The 
older  cofBna  are  of  lead  only,  one  formed  like  fl 
mommy,  showing,  I  think,  a  female  form.     Thd 
Eejcton's  opinion  waa  that  the  posture  was  devised 
to  expose  the  least  surface  to  decay  by  eon  tact 
with  the  ground,  but  this  ia  disproved  by  the  fact 
of  the  older  coiBns  being  of  lead  only.     It  ia  r»- 
markable  that  Sir  John  Ilubart  in  miirryiog  his 
second  wife.  Lady  Frances  JSgurton.  made  it  hit 
first  request  to  her  upon  her  marriage  day  that 
she  should  be  buried  in  this  vault,  which  promise 
she  duly  fulfilled,  aaia  atatod  in  Collins'a  Feeragef 
iv.  300.      Such  a  quaint  request  would  make  oda 
think  the  wortliy  baronet  must  have  been  aome- 
wbat  of  an  original,  and  thus  be  too  might  cUiin 
to  be  buried  marvailoifily  as  being  a  marvMom 
man.     A  mu»t  remarkable  instance  nf  this  posture 
of  burial  ou  a  large  scale  I  once  saw  at  the  Capu-

PBOVERB:  "THE  BETTER  THE  DAT  THE 

BETFEK  TUE  DEED.- 

(4"'  S.  V.  147.) 

This  proverb  ia  not  nonsense,  thou^rh  the  moan- 
ing is  stiipid,  and  such  as  it  is  it  ia  often  per- 
verted. It  applies,  I  believe,  wholly  to  Sunaaya 
or  gre&t  holyaays,  and  means  that  tlie  goodneaa 
of  a  good  deed  is  enhanced  by  iU  being  done  on 
a  pood  day.  But  !  have  often  hHard  it  perverted 
to  mean,  half  in  joke,  that  a  bad  or  quesiionnbls 
action  is,  as  it  were,  t*mct%JUd  by  being  done  on 
a  Sunday.  Ltttemox. 


Aa  to  the  origin  of  tlie  proverb,  I  can  say 
nothing;  but  as  to  the  sense  of  it.  I  cannot  see 
that  it  is  so  inconceivable  as  R.  C  L.  iinds  it.

the  officioua  interference  of  the  objector  with  the

provided  they  be  in  Ihemeelvea  innocent?  and  if

deed  be  »o  and  the  better.  C.  A.  W. 

Mayfttir,  W.  

Few  things  are  more  uncertalo  than  the  orij^n 
of  a  proverb.  Though  traced  bock  to  its  Hret 
nppoariince  in  literature,  it  may  then  havo  been 
an  ancient  of  dayii.  hike  the  founder  of  a  family, 
it  probably  haa  a  previous  though  unknown  f^ene- 
alogy  ;  and  aa  regards  the  present  proverb,  witli 
It.  C.  L.,  I  must  leave  its  origin  unascertained. 

But  that  it  bos  no  meaning,  or  none  founded 
on  common  dense,  I  can  in  no  who  ngrce  to.  The 
usual  form  of  it  is,  "  The  better  day  the  bolter 
deed  " ;  and  I  have  alwavH  attached  to  it  mean- 
ing! such  as  these :  — 

1.  By  way  of  precept:  that  the  better  day  de- 
mand? the  better  deed ;  as,  remember  the  Sabbath- 
day  to  keep  it  holy. 

2.  With  reference  to  opportuneness,'*  the  better 
day"  is  the  preaeut,  and  a  good  deed  is  better  for 
beinrr  done  at  ouce  ;  much  as  one  says,  **  Bis  dat 
rjui  cito  dat." 

3.  Bv  way  of  asaocialion :  a  deed  indifferent 
in  itself  derives  a  eliarncter  uf  •*  better"  from 
being  found  in  a  ^ries  of  good  or  pleivsurnbk 
actions,  which  impart  to  it  their  own  pt-culiar 
tone.  On  feative  days  the  proverb  is  often  thus 
used  aa  enjoining  or  e.xcu«ing  some  detail  uf  Con- 
vixnality. 

4.  By  a  reflex  action  of  the  sentence,  it  may  be 
eaid  that  the  day  on  which  the  "  better  deed"  is 
done  derives  from  it  a  proportionate  dimity  and 
honour.  I  do  not  think  that  any  of  these  inter- 
pretations are  so  jEar  removed  from  the  foundation 
uf  common  sense  as  to  make  the  proverb  that 
absurd  thing  which  U.  C.  L.  inainuates. 

CnowDOWN. 

I  always  understood  (and  fancy  that  people  uni- 
verwiUy  understand)  this  proverb  to  be  related  to 
the  Sunday  or  Sabbath  controvi-rsyj  as  aiuoh  aa 
to  sajr,  "  It  M  lawful  to  do  good  on  the  Sabbath- 
dav.'  "  And  not  ouly  lawful,"  adds  the  proverb, 
*•  but  peculiarly  and  pre-eminently  lawful.  It 
would  bo  right  to  exert  yourself  in  a  good  cause 
on  any  day ;  and  the  more  sacred  the  day,  the 
more  appropriate  does  such  exertion  become."

element  Beti  in  the  following  words: — Beuforty 
Brtdi^H,  Beiwiontj  Seuchnmp^  Bettchefy  and  Beu-

to  recognise  the  u  sound,  and  the  other  three 
the  a  sound,  chnnf^  in  modem  times  into  that 
oft'.  By  theory  Beinnont  ou^^ht  to  be  Booviont^ 
but  there  is  another  important  modifying  ele- 
ment ja  the  inquiry,  and  that  is,  the  accen- 
tuation. All  the  above  words,  which  we  now 
accent  on  the  first  sj'llable,  were  strongly  ac- 
cented by  the  Normaas  on  the  second.  Bcu- 
mont  was  Bnitti6tU,  as  Moutfort  was  Muutf6rt. 
In  diifyllables  tho  e8ect  of  a  very  decided  8tre«a 
on  the  final  syllable  is  to  obscure^  even  to  traou- 
form,  the  rowel  of  tbe  first,  as  we  obf»erve  in 
pronoiincinjr  naturaUy,  not  with  theoretical  de- 
Bipn,  the  word  cttnect  in  the  phrase  rapidly  pro- 
nounced, "quite  correct.''  If  this  were  dictated 
aloud  to  a  person  who  had  never  aeen  the  word 
correct,  he  nii}.'ht,  without  much  blame,  in- 
terpret it  phonetically,  as  ktvfhf,  kerikt,  kirf-H, 
k»r^kt,  hurikt,  kyrikt.  So  heuvumd  would  prac- 
lic^Uy  be  pronounced  nearly  like  the  Kn(^Iiah 
word  AemcSonw^  and  when  written  would  be- 
come naturally  benuhtdj  which  is  the  form  iu>d 
accentuation  in  the  pnssn^re  cited.  But  it  ia  to 
be  further  noted,  that  when  the  Norman  ac- 
centuation WU3  displaced  by  the  I:^ngliahf  the  ob- 
scured atonic  ayllables,  becoming  tonic,  would 
recover  somewhat  of  their  ori^nal,  independent 
snuud:  nevtr,  however,  as  far  as  my  observations 
and  deductions  po,  the  full  and  complete  oritfinal 
sound  of  the  independent  element— a  principle  of 
much  rnlue  in  estimation  the  mode  in  which 
many  Xormnn  words  became  Knfflish,  but  on 
which  I  cannot  dwell  further  here.  Applying 
these  reTuarks  jrenerally  to  the  case  of  Beiwimmp^ 
Bruch&f,  and  Bntv/^er,  they  become  phoneticnlly 
BecJttim,  Bfch^y  and  Beirr,(nnl  then,  by  change  of 
accent,  Btcham,  Beche  (two  fivllableo).  and  B^vtr, 
whence  the  modern  Benchnm,  Beachtf,  and  Braver, 
As  to  Brum'mf,  the  form  bcniond  shows  that  it 
also  followed  the  analogy  of  Bfuchnmp,  &c.,  but 
then  the  provincial  pronunciation  Btirmont.  which 
ia  aUo  Bfutmout,  ns  well  as  BewfoH  nnd  Jlewla/^ 
ahows  that  tlu^se  words  most  probably  al^o  ad- 
mitted the  1/  nound,  though  the  modem  H-=y(m 
was  certainly  unknown  in  early  Eufrlish.  It  is 
perh»[wi  worth  mentioDiuf;  that  the  Poitevin 
patois — preserving,  most  likely,  the  utiaf:e  of  the 
old  apeech  of  Poitou,  which  was  a  sub-dialect  of

has  not  alluded  to  the  part  he  took  in  tho  defence 
of  that  "  wonderful  phenomenon/'  the  young 
Kosciufl.  Master  Bettv  made  bia  firat  npponr- 
ance  in  Birmingham  ou  Auguat  13,  1801^  in  the 
character  of  Norval.  During  this  en^;>enient  ho 
aUo  played  Itolla,  Richard  III.,  and  Hamlet. 
Hifl  appearance  caused  a  conaiderable  furor  in  the 
theatncttl  world,  and  the  criticisms  which  his 
.performances  excited  were  of  the  most  varied 
tind,  the  eatbusiasm  of  praise  being  only  equalled 
by  the  bitterness  of  the  censures.  Mr.  Bisset 
broke  more  than  one  lance  in  defence  of  liis  hero, 
and  defied  tbe  whole  host  of  adverse  critics.

A  plinth  about  six  feet  long  and  three  feet 
broad»  raised  twelve  inchea  from  the  floor ;  at  one 
end  is  a  pilaster  the  width  of  the  pliuth,  and 
about  eight  feet  high,  having  a  clock  fnce  for  it» 
front,  Jn  front  of  the  pilaster  stands  a  lion  carved 
in  wood,  natural  size;  astride  on  the  lion  i.-*  a 
figure  of  Death  such  aa  drawn  by  Ilolbein  in  hi^ 
'*  Donee  of  Dt'ath  "  (a  skeleton).  He  holds  iu  hia 
left  hand  a  plate  of  metal  over  a  hollow  iu  the 
neck  of  the  lion,  and  in  his  right  a  marrow'bono  ; 
this  right  ami  ie  loose  at  the  shoulder,  and  by 
some  machinerj'  connected  with  the  clock,  strikes 
the  hours  with  the  bone  on  the  metal,  making,  m* 
one  can  readily  imagine,  a  mo.<4t  horrible  noi^e. 
As  1  have  not  been  able  to  find  a  bistorv  or  de-

I  hope  shortly  to  send  you  a  photo  of  the  litho-

Fiftv  years  ago,  when  at  school  in  Itodelfavim 
near  I?rankfort-o:i-Mniue,  our  Sunday  perambu- 
lations often  took  us  to  the  old  riuncd  castle  of 
Kfinigstein.  .  Thoro  I  recollect  our  being  shown 
a  terrace  overgrown  with  high  grass,  where  pri- 
eonera  used  to  be  shut  up  in,  and  walking  about 
in  the  dark,  they  would  fall  through  large  holes; 
beneath  which,  in  a  eubtcrraneous  passage,  could 
fltill  be  seen  a  stone  etntue  of  a  woman  with  long 
spikes  uQ  hor  head :  on  these  the  unfortunate 
victims  ^  ivr  riWw/  — would  fall,  and  were  left 
to  die  iu  horrid  tortures.  At  the  arsenal  in  Zurich 
I  also  recullcct  seeing  a  helmet  which,  once  on 
the  head,  would  suddenly  close  bv  a  secret  spring, 
and  could  not  be  opened  again.  'The  consequence 
was  inevitable  death.  P.  A.  1*. 

Having  visited  that  most  interesting  city  Nu- 
retnbifrg  many  times,  I  can  fully  confirm  all  that 
Jaytek  has  said  relative  to  the  "Folter-Kamraer/* 
or  torture-chamber  there.  I  visited  it  at  least  four 
times:  twice  by  night, when  the  eflect  was  Ihrill- 
inpp.  Among  the  instruments  were,  a  gasf  for 
scolds,  and  a  barrel  which  could  be  so  placed  over 
a  man  that  his  head,  hands  and  feel  were  outside, 
and  he  could  walk  or  stand,  but  not  lie  or  sit* 
TiiiA  was  a  punishment  for  drunkards;  and  the 
keeper  of  the  rhamber  said  both  were  fltill  occa- 
JionnUy  usod.  If  I  do  not  mistalo',  there  was  also 
a  '*  Virgin"  in  the  dunpeon  of  Chillon  :  in  it  the 
victim  was  ordered  to  advance  and  kins  the  image, 
when  a  tn»p-door  opened  and  launched  him  int^ 
tlie  lake  I  J.  R.  Davlbs.

I  learned  at  school,  I  know  not  in  what  book, 
**  the  Chief  Justice  is  styled  Lord  both  on  and  ofT 
Ibe  bench/'  In  The  Sf<ite  TriaU  he  Lsdeais;nated 
Ix)rd  Chief  Justice  when  on  the  bencb;  but  in 
the  triiil  of  the  ICarl  of  Somerset,  in  tho  Lord 
High  Steward's  Court  (vol.  iv.  edit  1719),  be  is 
"  Lord  Coke,'*  and  in  the  documents  publifihed  by 
Mr.  Amos  about  the  same  trial  he  is  *'  Lord 
( !oku."  Lord  Hale,  I^ord  Holt,  are  faiuiliar  names, 
iind  Lord  Bacon's  designation  when  he  wna  Lord 
ICeeper  bos  not  been  superseded  by  his  peerage  of 
Voruiam.  W.  G. 

U.  C.  L.  is  rather  rash  in  denuuncing  the 
Alleged  "gross  blunder"  on  the  part  of  The  Time$. 
ir  ho  turns  to  Lord  Campbell's  Livts  of  the  Chief 
Jii^tars  of  Tlnghnd,  he  will  find  the  following 
words  in  the  preface :  — 

"  Manj  of  our  most  iinportout  and  ioUrntiog  legal 
tvortbicit  never  bold  the  Great  Seal.  Some  of  them — as 
i.(>rd  Cuke  and  Lord  llal« — bud  not  th«  ufftr  of  it,  from 
the  prtftTcncc  nntiir:illy  given  to  mediocrity;  and  others 
— nx  Lord  Holt  aod  I^ord  Mansfield — resolutely  refused 
the  offer." 

I  preaumo  it  is  auperfluous  to  inform  U.  C  L. 
tiiat  L-oke,  Ilale,  and  Holt  were  none  of  them 
peors.  Tfaey  bore  the  title  by  courtesy  amnng 
tbeir  contemporaries  in  deference  to  the  poaitzon 
which  each  held  ns  Chief  Justice  of  England,  and 
by  that  title  they  oro  usually  cited  in  It^gol 
liteniture.  0,  G.  Prowett,

Vatendarg  of  LiUere'nnd  Papers  of  the  Reign  of 
Heury  VIII.  furnish  some  lists  of  justices  for  that 
period.  The  earliest  printed  lint  I  baTc  seen  is  — 
"  The  Names  of  the  Justice*  of  the  Peace  of  Knglaod

"  L'homme  propose  et  Dieu  dispose."  It  waa

to  call  Bttentioa  was  not  the  interpretation  of 
the  pasaage  Heh.  x.  15-18,  for  of  this  I  entertain 
no  tioubt,  vix.  that  it  is  correctly  given  by  Doan 
Alford,  as  also  by  Bfza  in  his  fifth  or  last  edition, 
in  which  be  expressly  places  the  anojrnsis  whero 
it  ought  to  be,  at  y.  17.  What  I  noticed  was 
the  confusion  that  ia  caused,  when  writers  nogloct 
to  specify  to  which  edition  of  Beza  they  refer 
while  giving  hia  interpretation  of  a  particular 
passage.    It  is  true  Dean  Alford,  at  Ileb.  xi  37^

I  bad  hitli^trto  thought  that  the  authorship  of 
the  £pi«tle  to  the  Hebrews  was,  at  moat,  a  ques- 
tion adhuc  sub  ftuiice;  whence  preat  Wtta  my 
aoTprise  to  rond  in  the  article  undt>r  the  above 
heading  the  following  very  decided  judgment; 
'*  whom  (St.  Paul)  he  erroneously  takea  to  be  the 
author  of  thin  Epi-itle." 

Now,  if  B>iza  does  err  in  tfaia  apprehenaiou,  he

I  have  no  desire  to  go  into  this  subject  contro-

sufficient  fipaco  for  this  purpose  in  these  columns.

Mtmtal  Mtwunif  where  it  wns  first  printed  in 
1792.  The  air  to  which  it  is  adapted  occurs  in 
the  firet  book  of  Aird'a  Srircdon  of  Scott  Atrtf 
&c.  circa  1784,  under  the  title  of  "The  Wearer'* 
March."  Thomson  probably  lind  an  idea  that  in 
IranHforming  the  *•  weaver"  into  a  "sailor"  the 
song  would  ncquiro  popularity  with  a  certain 
class  who  implicitly  bcliere  in  the  many  virtues 
of  a  ''gallant  tar."  The  alteration,  at  any  mto, 
was  ill-advised.  Edwabd  F.  Kimuaclt. 

Cigahs  (4""  S.  ir.  30j  v.  135.)— If  I  under- 
stand Mr.  CnARLES  Vivian's  noto  riphtly,  his 
object  in  rommunicating  the  well-known  pasatifjo 
from  the  Sebright  MS.  (quoted  by  ovury  wnTer 
on  tobacco)  is  to  show,  by  Pennant's  expliuialiun, 
that  cigars  were  known  in  England  and  cooimnnly 
used  in  the  days  of  Elizabeth,  and  that  pip-s 
wore  not  then  invented.  I  c^uoto  the  first  part  of 
Pennant's  note : — 

"  Pipes  -wpre  not  th«n  p*.f.  in  the  litter  part  of  Kliza- 
Xfth's  reiffii]  invented,  so  they  nwd  the  twisted  leavea  or 
Mjfftrs.    The  iaveution  ia  usuaIIv  tscrit>cd  to  Sir  Walter 

Knlriffh." 

It  is  altogether  a  mistako  to  ascribe  the  intro- 
duction of  the  cigar  in  England  to  so  cnrlv  a 
period.  In  fact  it  is  of  a  compnrAtively  iimatrn 
date  in  thia  countrj'.  One  hundred  and  forty 
Tears  aj:o  it  was  nuknown  to  our  English  sailors. 
No  doubt  this  fomi  of  taking  tobacco  ws^  In  use 
by  the  aborigines  of  America,  but  it  did  not  pru- 
vail  iu  Eui*c)pe  in  early  times,  and  in  England  the 
heavy  duties  and  nbHolule  prohibition  helped  to 
keep  its  knowledge  out  of  the  country  until  a 
comparatively  recent  period.  As  regards  the 
6rst  part  of  i*ennant's  note — that  pipes  were  not 
known  in  the  reigtf  of  EHzHbeth — it  is  sheer  non- 
sensf^  If  it  be  true,  what  becomes  of  the  "  Fairy 
pipe"  of  Ireland,  the  moot  ancient  form  of  the 
toWco-pipd  used  in  the  British  island))?  And 
what  of  the  many  paxsagei^  in  our  old  dramatists 
where  the  pipe  is  distinctly  mentioned — the  ci^rar 
never?  Who, may  1  ask, besides  Pennant, opcribea 
the  invention  of  the  pipe  to  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  ? 
Surely  old  Punuant  must  have  been  dozing  when 
be  penned  the  absurd  note  revived  by  your  cor- 
respondent. Edward  F.  JliuBArxT.

Iron  TKNNts-BALLS  (-t***  S.  ii.  178) —The 
question  relating  to  iron  tennis-balls  is  yet  un-

the  sixteenth  century.  About  two  years  since  I 
remember  reading  the  description  of  a  tomb 
erected  to  the  memory  of  a  youth  killed  by  a 
tennis-ball  of  this  description.  I  have  several 
times  tried  to  tind  this  account,  but  in  vain.  This 
tomb  is  somewhere  in  Kent  or  Sussejc ;  perhaps 
some  one  can  supply  the  name  of  the  place.

a  first-rato  specimen  of  tbo  artist's  powers  with

he  was  probably  forced  to  adopt  from  haviog  to

"the  Chortistt"  began  by  his  sending  iiie  the 
book  of  poems  so  t>JitxtJed,  on  its  appearance  in 
1843.  Tma  led  to  an  acquaintance  of  seTpral 
years,  the  few  ollective  yeurs  of  his  life.  Tlie 
roc«ption  of  his  volume  wn.«  such  as  to  damp  tlie 
Bpiriti  of  any  one,  and  especially  of  one  whose 
poetic  faculty  was  wholly  inipuUivo,  and  whoso 
habits  of  wntin;?  were  tincoafirmed.  XIo  was  one 
of  the  emotional  men  wo  meet  with  a  few  times 
ID  life,  whose  luck  we  intttinctiiuly  feur  may  be 
little  and  bad,  and  not  accoidini^  to  their  deserts. 
Kbenezer'a  day  of  poetry  whs  his  day  of  love, 
nuiny  of  his  poems  oeing  written  jufit  before  his 
marriage  to  the  daugbt«r  of  Edwin  Atherstone, 
the  author  of  a  poem  of  portentous  lenjrth  colled 
Ihfl  "  Fall  of  Babylon."  A  theistone  was  a  friend 
of  Martin  ;  and  that  paintor,  who  took  the  world 
by  wirprise,  worked  out  his  powerful  picture  of 
"  BeUhazzar'a  Feast,"  wliiie  hU  friL-nd,  diiy  bv 
day,  i>r3duced  his  lundred,  but  not  bo  powerful, 
poem.  His  dnugliter's  nauio  was,  I  thJni(,  Ckto- 
line,  and  her  inheritanco  of  beauty  and  mudioal 
talent  did  not  ultimately  insure  her  domestic 
paano  or  the  well-being  of  her  husband. 

Thomas  Hood,  who  was  very  ill  about  the  time 
Jones's  yulume  of  poems  was  publinhed,  on  re- 
oeiving  a  presentation  copy  sent  for  the  author, 
OAXnottiy  requesting  to  see  him.  Jones  of  coureo 
went  immediately,  proud  to  be  so  invited  by  one 
he  so  much  respected,  and  saw  Hood  in  bed.  The 
author  of  the  "  Song  of  the  Sblrt"  had  fallen 
into  a  severe  mood  on  his  sickbed;  all  his  life, 
indeed,  he  was  a  great  stickler  for  propriety  of 
moral  Ume  in  literature;  and  while  ne  acknow- 
ledged that  he  had  s(*\\t  for  Jones  because  of  the 
gT«at  poetic  power  in  his  book,  accused  him  so 
««vagely,  as  my  friend  thought,  of  impure  motive 
and  tendency,  that  Ebenezer  was  rendered  miser- 
nble. 

After  his  marriftffe  I  remember  him  living  in 
Arlington  Street,  Momington  Crescent.    Ue  bad

cotdd  not  think  a  single  poetii?  iden,  or  sna 
single  rhyme ;  but  that  be  was  writing  a  p«m| 
on  tho  currency,  which  he  hoped  would  be  mas] 
useful !    The  pamphlet,   I    thmk,    he  afteri 
sent  me,  but  as  I  fake  no  int^r^^t  in  »uch  oad-j

of  pamphlets.     This  meeting  wm  in  the  ~

The  autbnr  hati  compiled  the  present  little  book  In 
order  that  the  inconvenience  and  delay,  occaaionod  by 
havini;  to  refer  to  many  different  v<*liimi'3  fur  iwmo  date 
or  trifling  information  re^pcctin^any  European  sovereign, 
might  be  avoided.  But  wc  fear'hiH  Inboar  ban  twcn 
in  vain.  Wo  hare  just  wanted  some  information  reupeet- 
iuf;  George  II.,  and  on  referring  to  p.  101  of  the  book 
before  u^  we  flml  puch  evidence  of  careleameiis  on  the 
part  of  tiie  compiler,  a*  to  destroy  all  conRdence  in  the 
volume.  Speaking  of  FreJerick  Prince  of  Wales  we  are 
told,  at  Uae  7.  **  he  died  before  his  father,  1750  "  :  a  few 
linej  lower  down,  that  ho  died  in  "  IT.'d."  On  the  Mmc 
pojtt?  we  rend,  that  he  nmrriiHl  the  dauKblfn-  of  the  Priner

U  called  Duke  of  Saxe  Gntlu.  George  II.  it  rijj;hilv

The  feature  which  diBtinmii*hei  the  present  volume 
from  all  other  records  of  tbc  Memben  of  the  Ilouite  of

Coarttt  and  of  the  Hccorders ;  and  how  useful  snch  iii- 
fortnation  Is,  we  need  not  in«?t  upon.  We  may  tidd  that 
the  volume  is  brnucht  down  to  the  lattat  moment,

^  immemorial  thi-y  intermarried  among'

I  at  that  time.  Thev  spoke  a  dialect  of

litanoe,  tIk,  Furhenl^  Jiocumm/hf  Mac- 
\  Trwet$M  (at  east  &ide  uf  Cooliera^h 
the  coral-ajmd  U  takun),  Coofie- 
(«o  called  from  an  ancient 


cairn  on  the  top  of  tbo  hill),  LeahiU^  and  Deny 
hur/h—ihii  whole  district  is  called  the   Ratttic*, 
and  containb  3402  acres.     Hope  thoy  lived  amidst 
their  herda  of  cows  and  wild   goata,  stih^isting 
chiefly  on  potatoes  and  fish,  which  thoT  saved  in 
due  Beaaon.    Formerly  thoy  had  little  intercourse 
with  the  outer  world,  except  when  periodically 
Ihcy  brought  coral-sand  and  sen-weed  to  Bantry 
to  BcU  to  the  farmers.     The  boats  they  used  for 
thia  purpose  were  large,  and  unmanageable  when 
the   wind  was   adverse.      They   usually   carried 
about  iifteca  cartloads  of  aantl  (which  weighed 
about  oight  tons),  loaded  during  low  water,  sailed 
to  Biuilry  under  a  square  soil,  and  retumni  with 
tlie  fall  of  tho  tide,     liach  boat  had  a  crew  of 
eigl»t  men.      They    have   lately   adopted    much 
smaller  boats,  with  a  forestay  and  spritsail,  and 
can  now  sail  bnclc  against  the  wind.    For  these 
aa  well  aa  other  reasons,  tho  Eanties  may  he  con- 
sidered as  a  primitive  maritime  tribe,  settled  here 
from  a  remote  period,  and  undisturbed  from  the 
inaccessible  nature  of  the  locality  and  want  of 
roads  in  former  timea.    In  tho  Public  Record 
nrtlce,  Loudon^  there  is  a  curioufl  map  of  Bantir 
Bay  i^Calatd.  A*.  P,  Q.,  p.  152)  made  in  1558,  with 
additions  by  Sir  'WiUuun  Cecil.     In  this  map  the 
region  of  the  Rnnties  appears  to  represent  woods, 
with  rude  drawings  of  deer  and  wolves.   Through 
the  courtesy  of  the  Deputy-master  of  the  RoUs,  I 
was  enabled  to  make  a  tracing  of  this  most  in- 
terefrting   map,  which   also   embraces  "the   two 
peninsulaa  between  the  river  Kenmare  and  Dun- 
manua  tiay.  including  Dursey  and  Beare  Islands, 
Bear»-Haven/'  &c.      At  the  time  to  which   I 
allude,  the  women  of  this  tribe  always  wore  red 
cloaks.    Thia  colour  they  were  said  to  produce 
by  a  process  known  only  to  tbemselvea:   some 
persons  said  it  was  from  a  tmivalvs  which  they 
found  adhering  to  the  rocks,  others  that  it  waA 
obtained  from  a  particular  kind  of  sea-weed  found 
in   an  inlet   of  the  coaAt,  which   was  a  secret 
However   this  may  be,  when   the   French  fleet 
landed    in   Bantry   Bay  in   1796,   Mr.  Richard 
White,  afterwards  Lord' Bantry,  mustered  all  tbeee 
women  high  up  on  the  side  of  Sugnrloaf  Moun- 
tain :  their  red  cloaks  caused  them  to  be  mistaken 
by  the  French  for  toldiers ;  and  the  stratagem  so 
far  flucC'oded  as  to  delay  their  landing,  until  they 
were  driven   by  a  storm  out  of  the  bay.     The 
cholera  visitation  of  133i?,  and  subsequently  the 
famine  in  184^,  laid  wost^  the  dwellings  of  these 
potir  people,  disorganised  their  domestic  economy, 
and  almost  obliterated  all  tmoes  of  their  peculiar 
manners    and   customa.      They   now  intermarn'^ 
among  their  neigh bonrs,  and  IJave  become  a  Htal-

la  our  eudeaTOUTB  to  obtsin  some  inlbrmatiou 
from  the  neighboure,  our  query — Why  the  old 
people  always  married  amongst  themselves? — 
was  rewarded  with  the  foUowinj^  reply:  "That 
betwoeD  mending  tlieir  netB,  saving  fish,  and 
being  at  sea,  they  hod  no  time  for  coartinff^  and 
conaeauently  married  the  girl  next  to  hand.  Afi 
to  their  origiD,  the  andent  tradition  among  thcm- 
selrea  waa,  that  they  came  from  the  North.  Uere 
again  we  have  traces  of  thLs  Northern  immigra- 
tion. And  the  pi^oplo  say  that  the  Kanties  were 
originally  so  called  because  they  were  robbers: 
it  is  also  stated  that  the  word  conveys  the  signi- 
fication of  "atronp  oarsmen."  As  regards  the 
former  meaning,  Spelman's  <?/o^  (p.  478J  gives 
"  JlatK  SflXonicura=ftpprta  rapina  "  j  and  in  Cre- 

feen's  Jfankn  Dic.y  "  7?ffnn«'=: roguish  fellow." 
cannot  find  anything  of  a  snlisfnctory  nature  to 
bear  out  the  meaning  last  mentioned.  I  am  in- 
debted to  the  Kev.  Itichard  II.  Wright,  M.A., 
rector  of  Kilcaskin,  for  the  following  tradition, 
which  ii*  still  preserved  amongst  the  Ranties.  Mr. 
Wright  lives  in  the  vicinitv,  and  obtained  it  from 
[  a  Mr.  J.  Reordon,  a  good  Irish  scholar,  and  well 

'  ocquninted  with  this  peonle;  and  as  it  is  probably 

the  lost  lingering  logena  thev  poaseaSj  it  may  l>e 
I  worth  recording.    The  tradition  is:  — 

'  **  That  they  came  down  from  Chtter  about  tbrve  baii- 

L  (Ired  years  ago ;  that  they  were  robbers  and  plunderers  at 

I  linit,  and  aettled  on  that  part  nf  the  roast  as  baing  then  a 

I  remote  wild  pUce,  where  ihey  would  not  caailv  be  dii- 

r  covcrcil  or  [>unme(I.     An.er  they  Ant  came,  it  is  related 

['  that,  tbroe  of  them  went  to  the  westward  to  plander; 

Iaiut  entered  a  hoiiiie  ne^r  the  motiDtain  of  C'mttn-iAana-coe, 
which  mcaoi  *The  old  cow'i  head,*  because  there  is  a 
large  Ktone  on  the  top  of  the  mountain  which  restmblu 
the  head  of  a  dead  cow:  this  mountain  is  to  the  north- 
east of  the  niina  of  the  old  cliurch  of  Kilca-ikin,  nnd  kix 
i  or  eereo  miles  froni  the  liantiefl  coantrt'.    Thev  found 

'  no  persons  in  the  bouse  but  a  woman  and  two  cmldrcn  : 

the  husband  was  oat ;  his  name  was  M*Crath,  a  denomin- 
ation of  a  branch  of  the  O'Sullivans.  They  icitcA  the 
woman  and  cut  off  bi'r  breast <>,  and  killed  one  of  the 
children,  the  other  got  awoy  nnd  concealed  herself;  they 
then  plundered  the  house,  taking  away  all  ther  could 
carry.  When  M'Crath  came  home,  he  found  nia  wife 
and  cliild  dead;  bat  the  little  girl  came  in,  and  told  hiiu 
what  was  done  by  the  stranf^ers.  He  asked  did  she  fee 
which  way  they  went,  and  obe  showed  him  their  track 
on  the  old  road  or  pnth  towards  Sngarloaf.  Ho  and  bis 
brother,  being  both  stron;];  bold  men,  armed  themwlTes 
and  made  pursuit,  and  overtook  the  murderers  beyond  a 
narrow  pua  on  the  rood,  about  two  milei  flrom  the'house, 
where  Ibey  Uy  down  to  rent  and  had  QUlen  to  asleep.  They 
knew  them  to  have  be^nthe  mnniorer*  bv  the  plunder 
that  was  by  them,  and  liier  at  once  killed  the  three ; 
and  that  place  in  since  called  Bofier-na-ffrohert  or  the

long  h'-'en  my  conviction  that  some  sya- 


t 

He  effort  ought  to  be  made  for  the  coUec- 
n  and  preservation  of  our  provincial  words. 
I  few  years  it  will  be  too  late.  Railroads 
i  certilicated  teachers  are  doing  their  work. 
M  a  year  passes  but  some  words  ejK^ape  be- 
Bd  the  reach  of  recovery.  Much,  no  doubt, 
B  been  done  by  such  glossarips  as  those  of 
Mr,  Forby,  and  Xall  for  East  AngUa  ;  by  At- 
tton,  Carr,  Hunter,  Robinson,  and  others  for 
BvArioua  dialects  of  Yorkshire;  by  Miss  Baker 
'  Korthampton shire,  and  the  ]ike;  but  some 
aotiea  are  almost  unrepresented,  and,  so  far  as 

Sixtos  Quinttts,  in  early  life  a  awineherJ. 


I  am  aware,  nothing  like  a  systematic  attempt  baa 
yet  been  made  to  sweep  into  one  complete  collec- 
tion all  the  provincialisms  in  England.  That  such 
a  collection  should  be  made  I  think  every  ona 
will  admit,  but  it  cun  only  be  done  by  a  divisioa 
of  labour.  If  the  clergyman  in  each  parisli 
throughout  tho  country  would  put  down  all  the 
provincialisms  used  by  his  parishioners,  he  would 
rescue  many  good  words  from  perishing ;  but 
there  would  atill  be  many  linpt-ring  behind  from 
the  natural  tendency  auiong  the  poorer  class  to 
affect  a  different  Inngusge,  when  addressing  their 
supetiors,  from  that  which  they  would  use  lunoog 
themselves.  On  consulting  with  the  author  of 
one  of  the  best  local  glossaries,  if  not  the  best,  I 
was  not  encouraged  by  his  experienco  to  look  for 
much  assistance  from  the  clergy.  Ho  thought 
more  would  be  done  by  local  Athenroums  and 
field-clubs,  and  no  doubt  they  would  render 
elHcient  help.  But,  in  fact,  the  work  is  one  in 
which  all  moy  assist,  clergy  and  laity  alike,  socie- 
ties and  individuals.  Let  each  provincial  word, 
and  usage  of  a  word,  be  recorded,  with  an  example 
of  its  application  if  uecei^sary,  and  a  note  of  tbe 
place  where  it  is  so  used ;  but  of  etymologies  let 
collectors  beware.  From  my  experience  of  m( 
glossaries,  my  advice  with  regard  to  etymoloj 
would  be  the  same  that  Ciesar  gave  with  re 
to  an  unusual  word,  that  it  wns  to  bo  avoided 
toMUfim  scopiilum. 

A>Tiilo  wo  have  our  Early  Engliah  Text  Society, 
our  Chaucer  Society,  and  our  Puilolugical  Society, 
why  should  we  not  have  a  society  for  collecting 
and' preserving  provincial  words  l-*  In  such  a  work 
1  shall  be  glad  to  give  tbe  best  help  in  my  power.

"  pOeta  nascitur.  non  fit." 

I  have  long  searched  for  this  expression  In  vain* 
I  believe  that  it  baa  already  been  inquired  fori 
but  its  source  has  never  been  pointed  out.  Would 
you  allow  me  to  renew  tho  query  ?  I  observe  in 
Grocott's  valuable  collection  of  English  quota- 
tions entitled  Index  to  Qaotatiom  Anciait  and 
Modert},  that  ho  gives  it  under  tho  word  "  genius  " 
and  refers  to  Floras.  Though  I  thoucht  the 
history  of  Florus  to  be  on  unlikely  place  for  such 
an  expression,  I  have  examined  tho  work  with 
care,  and,  of  course,  no  such  proverb  is  to  bo 
found.  There  is,  however,  a  curious  fragment 
which  has  been  recently  published  from  a  Brussels 
MS.  beaded  Pannii  Fion  Vxrffiliu*  orator  mt  pwta 
incipii.  Can  any  one  refer  to  this  fragment  and 
see  if  the  e.^pre(ision  be  foimd  there?  In  Bohn's 
Dictionary  of  Latin  Quotation$  he  gives  "  Nasci- 
mur  poetm,  oratores  fimus,*'  and  ascribes  it  to 
Cicero.  In  what  work  of  Cicero  is  this  expres-

Bon  Joason  says  (Discoivriea) : — 

'*  They  l)oth  aro  bom  arliflcera,  uuL  nwile." 

Perhaps  the  coxlioat  trace  of  the  idea  is  to  be 
Found  in  this  pnasago  of  Pindar  ( Ohjmp.  ii.  154), 
'tere  ho  alludes  to  UU  rivals   Bacchyltdes  and

VICTIMS  Ofc"  THE  GUILLOTINE. 

Has  tbe  number  of  victiuis  who  perished  hy 
the  guillotine  during  the  Uc'igu  of  Terror  ever  been 
satisfactorily  ascertained  i*  Who  Is  generally 
oonsidored  as  the  highest  authority  ou  thu  point? 
With  tbe  greatest  deference  to  Mr.  Carlyle  ( whosr 
ms^iHcont  book  it  is  almost  iuipo>iJ:<tble  to  praisc 
too  hi(^lily)  I  cauDOt  bui  '  '  '  'i  it  be  is  mis- 
tiiken  in  bis  mimbera,  ^^  u-ea  as  rather 

imdor  two  UiuuMmuL  (Frrua  jui'xiuiou,  ed.  Iei57, 
ii.  3C7.)  Jla  says  fiirihor,  that  the  total  number 
of  tiiose  who  perished  by  tho  guillotine,  the 
noyode*!,  and  the  fiisiUatU'S  wns  oyer  four  thou- 
ttmd  Now,  tbe  pitillotiDu  vrtia  in  oliuuet  ceosulea^ 
operation  fur  exactly  two  yoarB,  over  ^rowing 
with  tho  growth  of  the  Revolution,  until  during 
the  latter  part  of  the  Terror  it  was,  I  believe,  in 
ffnfft/  operation — a  single  *'bntch  "  sometimes  con- 
'  Bi:ttT  <ir  upward?.  Surely,  therefore, 
Hnnd  executions  must  be  very  far  under 
the  mark. 

It  must  be  bonifi  in  mind  that  the  guillotine 
woa  not  confined  to  the  capital,  but  guiUolimadei 
took  place  at  Lyon^,  Naute«,  itnd  elsewhere. 
Besides  these,  there  waa  tbe  i  iillotajie^ 

which  travelled  uuder  the  au»j>  isin  the 

playwright.  Four  thonsaad  \  umm.^  ( nineteen 
out  of  every  twenty  of  whom  were  certainly  inno- 
cent of  any  real  ciimo  whatsocvor")  is  indeed  a 
dreadful  sum  of  humsn  lives;  Mill  this  would 
hardly  justify  the  reign  of  the  J/ioobiofl  being 
Xaimii^  par  ci-ctUcncc  tho  "Keign  of  Terror,"  This 
number,  Mr.  Catlyle  savs^  includes  the  yictims  of 
the  fapilladeSf  and  of  ibe  horrible  noyades  of  tbe 
Loire,  but  he  says  himself  that  there  were 
twenty-five  of  the  latter ;  and  (in  vol.  iL  p.  307)

h«  speaks  of  "  children  and  women  fusilladed  by 
tUe  aimdred  and  twenty,  and  by  the  five  hundred, 
iKi  hot  is  La  Vendve  ";  aUo  of  "  guillotininff  at 
^Nnnte^  lill  tbo  beadgman  sank  worn  out.''  Add 
pto  this  tbe  terrible  expression,  "  death  poured  out 
!n  great  floods,"  and  it  wonld  seem  probable  that 
t]ie  numbers  were  nltogctber  nearer  forty  than 
four  thousand. 

Mr.  Corlyle  terms  tbe  third  part  uf  hia  history 
(prose  opic,  it  uhuuld  be  mure  justly'  named) 
"  Tbe  Guillutine/'  and  throughout  thia  part  of 
the  work  tbe  whirr  of  the  preat  aie  is  conatantly 
uudible.  It  seema  io  tne,  therefore,  rather  an 
anti-climax  when,  at  the  conclusion  of  this  death- 
march,  he  aums  up  the  lists  of  victim:*,  and  find^ 
them  under  two  tnouaand  !  So  essentially  a  part 
of  the  French  Kevolution  woa  the  *'  little  national 
window/'  that  with  iheiiercer  among  the  aanscu- 
luttes  Guillotine  and  iiepublic  were  almotft  syno- 
nymous terms.  Tho  n:te  was,  aa  it  wore,  the 
pulse  bv  which  tbe  Jacobins  judged  of  the  health 
of  the  Republic:  the  greater  tbe  day's /oMr/i^ff  the 
healthier  the  Kopublic 

Sir  Archibald  ^Uison  {Minlory  of  Europe,  ed. 
1847,  iii.  382}  savfl,  on  the  authority  of  a  bulletin 
of  the  revolutionary  tribunal,  that  eigJUeen  thoU' 
m;u/ persons  perished  by  tho  guillotine,  the)novades, 
Slc.  at  Nantes  alone  during  the  udminiBtration  of 
(.'arrier.  This  in  perhaps  an  exaggeration,  still 
I  fnncy  it  \&  nearer  the  mark  than  Air.  Carlyle's 
estimate. 

I  see  in  the  daily  papers  that  Madame  Tuasaud 
ndrertises  as  on  view  at  her  museum  the  original 
knife  of  the  Paris  guillotine,  by  which  (so  sars 
tbe  advertisement),  twenty-t\oo  thoiuand  persons 
perished.

**in.  We  bare  had  former  experience  of  the  incon- 
vcniencea  of  aJtcring  this  course,  and  of  the  general  dis- 
satisfaction taken  by  the  Citizens  who  then  forsook  the 
prayers  and  came  only  to  semion. 

■'  IV.  The  late  Lord  lli.<thup  Skinoer  did  at  bis  Visita- 
tion prevail  with  the  Deau  and  Cttaptcr  to  alter  it;  but 
upon  experience  of  Uie  former  inconveniences  did  acltiiow* 
l«)ga  bin  inadvertency,  and  desire  it  might  be  restored  to 
Ihe  former  course,  which  is  that  which  wc  hold  at  pre- 
sent. 

'*  y.  Wc  do  consider  tbnt  this  Custom  which  we  now 
ob«er\'e  is  conformed  Co  the  Ktibriclu  and  Canons  of  the 
Choreh: 

"  1.  To  the  Kubrick  bcff.re  the  LitAny  where  it  is 
ordered  that  the  Litany  ho  Mid  or  sung  after  morning 
prayeri  upon  Sundays,  &c.,  which  words  do  intimate  a 
fftace  l)etwixt  Morning  Prayers  and  the  Litany. 

**2.  TIm  old  Uubrick  before  the  Communicn  doth 
necessarily  iinjily  that  thi'rc  iihuuld  he  a  distance  of  time 
betwixt  Frayent  and  lbs  Communion  Service  ;  and  the 
new  Kubrick  doth  not  diin^ct  otherwise. 

"  3.  The  8tb  Canon  IGOH,  as  we  con-iider,  conlirms  the 
present  practice  by  enjoinin};  'That  Common  Prayer  be 
said  ur  sung  at  convenient  and  uitnal  times  and  in  such 
place  aa  the  Buhop  of  the  Diocese  or  the  ecclesiastical 
ordinary  of  the  place  shall  appoint, 

"  -L  Becaose  we  consider  that  the  Act  of  Uniformity 
prescribing  the  entire  reading  of  Common  Prayer  was 
designed  iu  opposition  to  the  non-Conformists  who  would 
either  omit  all  or  leave  out  what  part  they  please  ;  and 
to  debar  the  dividing  it  for  the  greater  solemnity  of 
God's  scrricca  and  the  better  convenience  of  the  comers 
thereto. 

"Now  it  being  certain  that  the  practice  is  not  for- 
bidden by  the  said  Act,  an  umbtguity  buing  supposed. 
Custom  ought  to  deterniiuc  the  thing:  for  that  where 
there  is  a  Law,  Curium  is  tlic  best  interpreter;  and 
where  therv  is  no  jwsitivo  Law,  Custom  itself  is  a  Law. 

"  It  hath  beun  a  constant  maxim  of  Government  that 
allerations  shoold  not  be  introduced  without  great  and 
important  cause,  being  apt  to  create  disputes,  censures, 
and  onimosltieB.

This  division  of  Morning  Service  was  continoed  till 
1858,     la  1858  our  congregations  were  reduces]  to  two 
or  three  at  Morning  Prayer ;  then  the  present  Dean  and 
Chapter  made  the  change,  and  we  hare  now  the  full 
aanice  at  11  as  io  other  churches.    The  early  prayers  in

>'&iT.434,547;  t.  182.) 

versy  respecting  the  derivation  of 
a  in  itsell  scarcely  worth  pursuing, 
itimatttly  conuectw  with  a  very  in- 

liry — the  relation  of  the  Xorthmeu  i 


to  the  coasts  of  Walea  and  the  western  coast 
generally — I  crave  penui&Hion  to  say  a  few  words 
on  the  suhject. 

Tbe  philological  speculations  of  Mr.  J.  C. 
Hooeb  remind  one  ver^  strongly  of  the  luarued 
treatise  of  Henry  O'Brien  on  the  Round  Tourers 
of  Ireland,  and  other  writers  of  the  same  school, 
in  which  it  baa  been  gravely  maintained  that 
Jadoa  Maccabtcua  and  Judy  Maccabe  were  cousins 
german ;  tbat  Osiria  was  an  Irishman  who  ought 
to  have  his  name  written  O'Siria.  If  mere  re- 
semblance in  sound,  without  auv  other  analogy  or 
proof,  is  to  pass  muster,  why  .^liould  not  ffherkm 
be  derived  from  Jeremiah  King,  Belleropbon 
from  *'  belly  ruffian,"  or  Hirondelle  from  "Iron 
Devil?" 

*'  Llandudno,"  says  Mr.  Roger — 

'*  is  laanUtaiably  one  of  those  nam««  imposed  by  thfr 
Northmen.  I^indTHle^  a  proper  name,  prefixed  to  the 
defiiiilu  articlv  en,  by  eludou  k,  give»  Landodem — o,  a  eor- 
mpt  form  of  Icelandic  d,  signifying  water,  also  a  river. 
We  find  a  similar  tranafonnalinn  in  thi>  ScrAch  river 
Ln$tie.  in  old  records  Zoru,  Old  Norse />ax  =  salmon,  ua 
river." 

Not  the  slightest  evidence  is  given  except  the 
bare  assertion  of  the  writer. 

Now,  where  is  the  proper  name  LandiJde  to  bo 
found  P  Who  is  the  historical  personage  who 
bore  it?  When  waa  he  at  Llandudno,  and  what 
did  he  do  there  ?  I  fear  his  only  e.\istence  is  in 
the  imagination  of  Mr.  BooERf  who  seems  to 
forget  that  his  oddly  patched-up  word  would  have 
been  the  name  of  the  water,  whilst  Llandudno  is 
the  name  originally  applied  to  the  locality  on 
land  nearly  at  the'  top  of  the  mountain.  *The 
comparison  with  the  river  Loasie  is  singularlv  in- 
appropriate. I  do  not  see,  in  the  phrase  of  I'ony 
Lumpkin's  friend,  that  it  is  "  in  a  coacatonation 
accordingly."  This  is  not  a  proper  name.  It  needs 
no  manipulation  or  theory.  It  simply  signifies 
"  the  salmon  river." 

I  have  always  been  led  to  consider  that  if  thero 
waa  one  appellation  more  decidedly  Celtic  and 
Cymric  |han  anotbf^r,  it  was  found  in  the  names 
compounded  with  Uan,  originally  an  incloaure^ 
then  applied  to  the  aiceinU  of  a  Christian  place 
of  woranip,  especially  to  those  solitary  little  cells 
and  chapels  establUbed  fre<)Uontly  in  tbe  wildest 
places  by  the  early  British  anchorites.  We  have 
witlun  a  moderate  distance  of  Llandudno — Llan* 
drillo,  Llansantiraid,  Llanbcdr,  Llanfalrvechan, 
Llanrwst,  and  many  others.  Is  Mr.  Kooer  pre- 
pared with  a  mystical  or  mythical  Northman  to 
stand  sponsor  for  each?  He  appears  to  be  quite 
unaware  that  H  and  /  are  altogether  difTorent 
letters,  the  one  being  a  strong  aspirate*,  almost  a 
pittural,  the  other  a  simple  liquid,  so  that  it  i^ 
impossible  tbe  former  could  have  been  derived-, 
from  tbe  Utter ;  the  tendency,  as  all  philologei 
know,  being  in  derivatives  to  soften  the  aspirate, 
never  to  ha^ea  it.

M.  Dupin  nrrived  at  Franefort,  bringing  witli 
liim  the  manuBcript,  Nodot  tried  to  get  a  pass- 
port, tut  ftuled,  aa  tliey  were  granted  only  to  thoae 
who  were  in  the  service. 

"  KnAn,  commo  jc  cbercboui  un  expedient,  je  &a  con-

Charpentier  replied  in  n  letter  dated  Parin, 
Nov.  0, 1600.  Among  other  hundsouio  things,  he 
said: — 

**  Et  si  Jo  n'apprchcndoia  trop  dire  je  croiroia  qua  quand 
notre  campagne  sar  lo  Rhin  dc  I'ann^c  1690  n'auroit 
point  produit  d'autre  bouheur  U  y  auroit  Lieu  d'etre  coD- 
tent." 

Charpentier  is  mentioned  in  the  Bioffraphw 
ijiiUralc,  xxxviii.  lC7j  as  one  who  maintained  the 
authenticity  of  the  mEmuscript.  I  cfmnot  find 
more  of  his  on  the  subject  than  this  letter.  Con- 
flidorinp  that  the  communication  between  Paria 
and  Straabourg  wafl  not  so  rapid  in  1690  as  it  is 
now,  and  that  we  do  not  know  what  parts  of  the 
fragments  were  sent  to  Charpentier,  and  that  his 
time  was  pretty  well  occupiea  with  other  matters, 
he  may  be  excused  for  not  detecting  the  impos- 
ture, though  he  ought  not  to  have  given  hia 
judgment  so  hastily. 
,  Nodot  published  Traduction  de  pht»mtf»  piices 
de  Pitrone  nnvmit  le  manuscn't  trouv^  a  BeUegrade 
en  1688,  dated  Paris,  hut  printed  at  Grenoble. 
He  brought  out  a  complete  edition  of  Petroniua, 
Paris,  1693,  and  another  with  a  French  transla- 
tion in  two  volumes  8vo,  1604,  the  first  A  CW(K/«c, 
rhes  Pierre  GrotJi,  the  second  with  better  print 
and  paper,  A  Coloffuej  chez  Pierre  Marteau,  'J'he 
iacunes  of  former  editions  are  filled  up  from  the 
manuscript,  and  something  like  a  connected  story 
ie  thereby  made.  The  translation  had  been  at- 
tacked in  two  pamphlets,  one  by  M.  Breugiere  de 
Barante,  the  other  by  M.  D***.  Nodot  replied 
in  Le  contre-critique  de  Pitrone,  which  I  know 
only  from  D'Artigny's  account  of  it.  When  the 
Latin  edition  came  out,  various  scholars  expressed 
their  opinions  that  the  additions  were  forgeries, 
mid  I  cannot  find  one  that  said  anything  in  their 
favour.  They  havo  been  retained  in  some  subse- 
quent editions  as  the  Supplementa  Aod/jtianOj  but 
are  distinguished  as  such  by  brackets  or  a  different 
type.  Nodot  hod  studied  Petronius,  and  seems 
lo  have  supposed  that  by  using  few  words  not  to 
be  found  m  his  author  he  could  counterfeit  his 
fttyle.    The  Latin  of  the  fragments  abounds  with 


Gallicisms,  and  the  thoughts  are  French.    Bi 

man  notices  the  lovers  paying  morning  visits  in 
the  ladies'  dressing-rooms,  *'  ad  omaineutum  ma- 
tutinum  amicarum  urbaniaslmi  asbidene";  and 
the  thieves  leaving  Rome  as  "in  oestins  tempi^ 
ribuB  urbem  esse  aterilcm,  rus  est  fortunatius," 
He  further  says : — 

'*  Sed  quia,  scilicet,  in  Gallia  noverat  illas  proprie  A 
elamatOTwn  utulo  iniaiuari.  qui  qaotidic  in  tcmpllj  d*

Prafatio  ad  ed.  Burmannij  2  t,  4to,  Amsterdam,  1743. 

Nodot  made  some  colourable  alterations  ia  tK? 
text,  which  are  chiefly  mionyms,  not  so  gtnMl  si 
the  original ;  and  he  retained,  as  from  ra»  M& 
many  corrections  of  former  editors.  In  one  of 
the  supplements  he  has  told  the  story  about  rofcl- 
leablc  glass  in  the  words  of  Johannes  Srtrisburieo* 
sia,  whose  style  is  not  that  of  Petronius.  I  lia'* 
many  other  blunders  auile  as  groee,  but  lia^J 
already  trespassed  enougn  on  the  space  of  **  N- ^Q* 
Nodot' seems  to  have  occupied  a  good  p»»siti'inia 
society.  D*Artigny  met  liim  at  Lille  m  17'^  i' 
the  house  of  Baron  Ruy,  chancellor  and  i>ric>' 
minister  to  tho  Elector  of  Cologne.  He  siy*^ 
"  C'<5toit  un  homrae  dur,  vif,  et  sans  beaucoup  ^ 
df^licatesse,  peu  propre  par  consequent  k  coudfl 
Latin  avec  celui  de  Pi^trone."  Nodot,  ho' 
in  bis  preface,  claims  the  superiority  over  ft 
editors  as  a  man  of  twte  ond  fashion,  who 
enter  into  the  spirit  of  Pclr:'uiup,  whii'b  ly-daalJ 
could  not.  The  most  handy  edition  of  I'eTr^wu* 
and  one  of  the  best  edited  dasaics.  is  that  oT 
Anton,  Lipsiaj,  1781.  The  fragments  are  giT«i»i 
but  the  editor  endorses  Burman's  opinions  as 
their  authenticity.  For  further  matter  on 
question,  see  D'Artigny,  Memoire»  de 
t.  i.  pp.  346-370,  Paris;  1740.  H

Obiotn  of  tub  Wobd  *'  Asmon-saj?  "  (4*  S.  v. 
22, 232.) — I  am  desiruus  (with  reference  to  my  noto 
referred  to  above)  to  correct  one  of  those  trifling 
omissiona  which  can  rarely  be  avoided  when  we 
are  compelled  to  write  or  copy  in  haste.  On  refer- 
ring to  tne  original  rough  draft  of  the  note,  I  tiad 
that,  immediately  after  the  passage  quoted  from 
Mr.  Buckton,  the  next  sentence  stood  as  fol- 
lows :  —  ^ 

•*  Can  it  possibly  be  necessary  to  inform  him,  that 
letters  of  the  Mtne  ort^n  are  constantly  interchanged  iu 
all  latunuges,  and  that  whoa  a  Hebrew  root  has  the 
Iclto- 1?,"  &c. 

Without  the  words  now  supplied,  the  wntence 
appears  too  abrupt.  As  an  inst^ce  of  these 
dinlfctic  variations,  I  might  have  cited  the  word 
iy'hihboieih,  which  the  men  of  the  tribe  of  Epbraim, 
unable  to  utter  the  s/i,  pronounced  SibboieiA 
(Judges  xii.  0), 

In  alluding  to  Michaelis,  I  ought  perhaps  to 
have  been  more  explanatory.  In  seeking  for  the 
Arabic  root  analogous  to  the  S3rriac  ch'uhmn,  the 
professor  had  to  choose  betweon  khoAhayna  and 
h)uMavm.  According  to  the  Bxjcktonian  canona, 
he  ought  to  have  selected  the  former.  But,  gtuded 
by  very  ditTerent  principles  of  criticism,  ho  choao 
the  root  with  the  letter  «.  This  is  exactly  what 
I  have  done  myself  in  choosing  between  ck'mm 
and  cKshatn.  >  ow  it  Is  diJTlcuIt  t<>  select  a  man

of  the  most  celebrated  of  German  biblical  critics. 
In  these  labours  all  his  life  was  spent ;  and  his 
voluminous  works  (all  more  or  leas  original  and 
ingenious),  if  collected  in  one  uniform  edition, 
would  compose  nearly  a  hundred  octavo  volumes.

is  novertliele*^  ferainine.     It  ia  true  that 
Cre^en   in    hi«  dictionary   has  given   this 
^^d  as  mi^culine,  but  admits  that  common  usage 
liost  bU  baring  dooe  so.     He  refers  to  the 
Bible,  Ps.  xix.  6 — "  Hia  [th©  aun'sl  going 
is  from  the  end  of  the  heaven,  and  his  cir- 
unto  the  ends  of  it."    The  translator  of  this 


rerw  can  hardly  be  eaid,  by  reason  of  his  not 
haring  changed  the  gender  of  the  pronoun,   to 
haro  iiidic-ated  an  opinion  that  yriViw  in  mascu- 
line.    Hft  could  not  with  propriety,  perhaps,  have 
converted  '*  Mm  ^oi";?   forth  "   into   "  her  goiatf ' 
forth,"  or  '*/«>  circuit"  into  "W  circuit."    tS 
Scriptures  were  tranaUted  into  the  Manx  dialect 
bv  the  united  effort-^   of  aeveral   of  the  insular' 
clergy.     Among  these  waa  Dr.  Kolly,  who  HnaUyj 
revistfd  and  correcled  the  traaslations  printed  ii 
1772.     He  trnnwribed  three  times,  iu  iho  Mai 
dialect,  the  entire  Old  Testament,  and  therefore' 
the  identical  verse  referred  to  by  Cregeen.     Dr. 
Kelly  had  already  written  a  grammar  o?  the  Manx 
tongue,  and  which  he  subsequently  published*  III' 
hia  grammar  he  states  tliat  — 

•'A  word  liOf^nnin^  with  snr  of  the  maUble  conso-

comes  /.   i ._.  yirrtv  uidjirree.'" 

I  am  urtable  to  discover  any  evidence  in  support 
of  this  h^-pothetical  analyais  of  ytian,  or  ot  this 
suggested  iuterprot*tiou  of  re.  The  supposed 
etymons. /«,  «7»,  and  huw  are  not  primitive  Erse 
word^,  but  have  nil  b«on  imported  into  thii  lan- 
^^la^p.  Tho  Manx  icf,  god,  ia  etymologic&Uy 
iileutieal  with  the  following  words:  — ■ 

Iri:«h  and  Scottish,  i/i't/ ,-  Welsh,  r/uic,  dai ; 
(\>rnisb,  tUu\dtty;  Armoric,  doue:  Latin,  d^us; 
CJrt't'k,  0*6% ;  Sanskrit,  dcvti. 

Though  I  am  unable  to  arrive  at  Mr.  Bealk's 
conclusion  that  deification  is  denoted  by  iniftn  and 
re,  I  concur  with  him  in  thinkinfy  that  these 
words,  and  rcf,  king,  are  severally  related  to  each 
other.  The  word  re  ia  nsed  in  the  Erse  to  expreaa 
a  period  of  time— a  meaning  which  it  may  nave 
acquired  by  reason  of  its  application  to  the  moon. 
The  Manx  re  usually  forms  a  syllable  in  a  com- 
pound word.  Dr.  Kelly  gives  il  thus:  ^'  Re,  the 
moon,  as  in  re-wUys.'^  In  the  EngliVi-Mans  Die- 
titmary  edited  by  the  Kev.  William  Gill  and  the 
Rev.  Thomas  Clarke,  and  published  by  the  Manx 
Societ}',  it  does  not  appear  separately  as  a  name 
for  the  moon.    lie  or  ra  is  discernible  in  worda 


denoting  tlte  heavenly  bodies  in  numerous  lan- 
guajjcs.  It,  or  a  trace  of  it,  occurs,  I  think,  in 
vwry  one  of  the  followlnft  worda  :  — 

Suit. — Scottiah,  Irish,  Manx,  yrian:    Stnakrit, 

Mootu — Scottish,  Irish,  Manx,  ra ;  Welsh,  tttwr, 
Bocraidd  (moony)  \  Cornish,  luir:  Armoric^  foer; 
Sanskrit,  vhandm. 

Star. — Scottish-Ewe,  rinnnatj^  rcul :  Irish,  reall, 
rttuU :  Manx.  rolUuje :  Welsh,  scren ;  Cornish  and 
Armoric,  rfrrc/i;  Ar.g.-Sox.  ^rfrrra.  VAixn  astrwn : 
Greek,  iurrtip,  T*lpta;  Sanskrit,  tdra :  English,  atar. 

lieam  of  liyht. — Ijotin,  raditu:  English,  ratj. 

To  nhine. — Saniiknt,  rq/, 

In  R  few  of  Ui«  words  in  the  ahove  list,  re  ap- 
pears to  have  heon  reversed,  or  its  vowel  may  have 
been  dropped.  In  some  i',  o,  and  u  have  been 
euhstitutwl  for  e.  In  the  old  Scottish  Erse,  I 
believe,  debrn  denoted  a  star,  but  the  verb  stehrn, 
novr  in  use  in  the  same  dialect,  means  to  ^ide  or 
direct — an  jilluaion  probably  to  the  guidance 
ntl'orded  by  the  stars  in  early  times. 

The  Erse  rer,  Idng,  has  ita  cognatea  in  the 
Latin  rex\  regis,  and  Sauekrit  n//Vi.  The  general 
application  of  re  or  ra  to  the  heavenly  bodies 
finowa  that  it  originally  indicated  a  character 
common  to  thc5e.  As  the  Sunttkrit  raj  sigiiiiiea  to 
s!iine,  it  or  ra  denotes  their  shining  or  lustrous 
appearance :  and  the  Erse  rtr,  l^ing,  and  Sanskrit 
irt/V*.  king,  indicate  the  gaudy  pomp  with  which 
A  king  is  often  invested. 

If  c/nVjH  bo  a  cnmbination  of  yi'/'-r/v  niau  or  r^ 
ho  a  derivative  iromjea-rer  oie,  the  word  rec,  king, 
must  be  older  than  the  words  griaHt  sun,  and  re, 
moon  ;  but  that  it  is  so  seems  very  improbable. 
lie  is  not  only  employed  to  denote  the  sim  and 
moon,  but  the  stiir.^  also.  There  i-oems  to  he  no 
rf*aeon  why  it  should,  when  applied  to  the  stars, 
indicate  sovereignty  or  ruling  power.  Jia^  pro- 
bably, existed  in  the  Sanskrit  words  ravi\  sun, 
ihtrridrtt,  moon,  and  tdrd,  star,  anterior  to  the 
^'^nnation  of  raj,  to  shine  ;  hut  rdfdj  king,  is  pro- 
bably n  Horivative  from  ra/,  tn  fihini). 

Tiie  .Manv  rtiau  is  ctyniologically  the  same  aa 
the  Fcottish  and  Irish  wamh,  Welsh  m;/",  Cornish 
tifr>t  nffj  Latin  nubts^  Greek  vi^i,  Sanskrit 
nnhhai, 

I  have  already  endeavoured  to  show  that  grian 
is  feroininc,  Jee^  ree,  and  nutu  ore  severally  iuas- 
culine. 

Mr..  Hkai.e  is  mistjtken  in  sapposing  that  "  the 
initial  nf  tlio  Manx  Jee  changes  into  g  juat  as 
r'rrrr  b^'Comrt'  ^irrfc  or  Jt'rree.''  It  is  true  irrre 
becomes  y/nvf,  hut  this  is  a  mutation  of  i',  in  this 
^JnsUnn?  the  initial  of  a  verb,  into  j/  to  show  *'the 
ire*Mnt"  or  "pa-^t  tirao  of  action."  (See  Cro- 
K"en*«  Ihct.  "  Introduction  to  the  Manx  I.an- 
;:«•;.'••,"  Kvmark  <*!.)  Jaa  an  initial  of  a  Manx 
noun  docii  not  change  to^. 

Mk.  Dkalk^uuqcmCs  that  rte,  king,  and  re, 


moon,  may  be  related  to  ore*,  to  rise,     Dr,  Kel 
however,  derives  this  word  from  ir,  a   hill. 
retj  motion.     Ree,  motion,  is,  in   Irish  and  Mi 
words,  Uffcd  chiefly  in  a  ayllahic  form  ;  and  is 
bahly  from  the  Givek  fitt^,  to  flow  :  whence ^i 
a  current,  a  stream. 

The  Irish  etufg  or  engron,  moon,  and  lb' 
eayAt,  moon,  have  surely  tho  salon  ii(yni"l.Yy, 
is  unlikely  that  two  Erse  words  haviu>r  a  ck 
phonetic  resemblance, and  having  the  satut.)  mn 
mg,  should  be  etjmologically  distinct ;  yet 
BxiXB  treats  them  aa   dificrcnt  ward.**,   and  t!<* 
duces  each  from  a  diHerent  source.     1  i

Mr.  Deale  deems  it  almost  conduaive  that] 
fogU  is  derived  from  " v-i/w-n^/>- —  ''      ~'  ' 
the  evening."     I  have  already  aitomjit 
that  fre  or  gee  is  not  an  old  wotxi,  and  ii 
fill  that  atiigr  is  as  old.     It  is  from  tbc  OmJEj

f^gst  bo  a  comparatively  modem  wor 
have  ori^jinated  ia  t/-gee-atti/r.    Anoi 
tion  made  by  Mn.  Bealr  ie,  that  **Xl 
month  is  mee,  and  for  age  maA, a  poMil 
mation   to   eagsi,  seeing   that  the  m- 
cemed  in   many   computations."      It 
however,  be  forgotten  that  mec  had  it*  ul^ 
the  Latin  mrnm  or  the  Greek  ^i^*-,  and  tin 
is  from  the  Latin  attn* :  but  it  cannot  ^ 
thai  the  barbarous  tribe  by  whom  the 
was  tirfit  employed  had  any  knowledge  ol  iu 
computations, 

A  further  suggestion  made  by  Mr.  BkaI^ 
that,  "as  the  moon  is  popularly  a^d   to 
with  borrowed  light  lent  by  the  sun,  and 
meana  lent  or  horruwed,  it  seems  not 
that  eagut   may  imply  dependence  on 
It  is  very  improbable  that  the  ancient  iul 
of  Ilibemia  or  Ma:m,  to  whom  the  pri 
of  the  word  eagiit  must  ho  n«*ribed,  wcr«, 
ciently  learned  in  astronomical  science  to 
that  the  moon's  light  is  borrowed  from  thfti 

The  wonls  from  which  Mr.  1U:ai.« 
grinn,  re,  and  eayst^  and  which  he  a^umes 
deification,  are  Greek  and  Latin  intradem 
Erse  alxmuda  with  such  words,  and  so  ni 
have  they  been  impressed  with  it«  idiomat 
meter  that  it  is  not  ijasy  to  detect  tlicni.  It! 
hoped  tliat  an  attempt  will  yet  be  made  to

The  church  of  St.  Audoen  in  the  Com  Market 
deserrds  notice  for  ita  own  rolie.  From  u  paper

Ueo.  20,  I8i'0,  we  learn  that  it  is  not  of  earlier 
date  llinn  1  ItJft.  and  waa  of  An jlo-Momian  oripn, 
to  which  it  owed  it^  early  prosperity,  but  which 
b«fl  not  preserved  it  from  the  ravaj^ea  of  poli- 
tical iniluencea  and  rival  reliirioni:  and  an  at- 
tempt in  recent  yearn  at  partial  reatomtion  haa 
left  it  still  a  melancholy  ruin.  The  plan  is  that 
of  a  doiiblo-aisled  church,  the  laat  two  baya  of 
which  incline  to  tlio  north ;  one  niale  haa  been 
fitte<l  up  for  Protestant  Epiacopal  worship,  tho 
reat  ia  wholly  unrooYed.  The  chapel  of  tho 
B.  V.  M.  appears  to  hare  been  the  last  built,  and 
the  aKsenco  of  almost  any  trace  of  omaojentAtion 
ia  Biugular.  Thia  portion  waa  erected  by  Sir 
Roland  FitzEustace,  I*ord  Deputy  under  the  Duke 
of  Clarence,  and  contuned  an  etti^-tomb  to  him 
and  hie  wife,  which  was  remove<f  to  tho  foot  of 
the  tower;  their  atthea  rest  in  the  Abbey  of  Kil- 
dare.  Tlie  raulta  of  the  L'abera  and  MoKueuxs, 
often  clo^L'ly  connected  by  marriage,  being  in 
this  church,  arofe-  from  their  having  held  pro-

name  in  Tarioiis  ways.  But  there  is  one  form 
geni-'rally  adopted  when  mentioninf?  those  ohl 
worthies,  and  it  seems  desirable  that  uniformity 
should  be  kept  ap;  unless,  indeed,  some  ^^twa 
reason  ie  giveu  to  the  contrary,  I  observe  of  late 
years  a  desire  on  the  ptirt  of  certain  writers,  who 
are  fond  of  novelty,  to  «>peU  old  Johu  ftfarbeck's 
name  Mrrbecke.  Now  1  do  not  deuy  that  there 
is  some  authority  for  this,  from  the  way  in  wbieh 
the  printer,  Hicnard  Omfton,  gives  it  at  the  end 
of  Thfi  lionhe  of  Common  Prairr  yot<ti^\fi^  \  and 
this  spelling,  of  coui-so,  I  adhered  to  in  my  fac- 
simile reprint  of  that  vnlaable  work  published  by 
l^ckerinr.  But  what  I  contend  is,  that  it  is  not 
the  usual  manner  in  which  he  spelt  his  name,  nor 
that  by  which  he  is  spoken  of  by  his  oontem- 
poraiies  and  successors.  In  his  CancorJann,  1560, 
he  spells  his  name  "  Jhon  Morbek.*'  In  his  /TeAw 
Mijtfonfi  of  King  Dam'rf^  1670 ;  hU  Bvok«  of  Jiotm 
ami  C'uminut*  Places^  1581  :  his  ?^.rampie»  drawtm 
Old  uf  Htthf  Scripiwe,  1682;  and  io  hia  Dialogue 
hfitoten  YoHth  and  Olde  Age,  1584 — he  writea  it 
**John  Marbeck."  In  his  Ltfcee  of  ih*  JSoku 
Sainr^trs,  1574  ;  and  in  his  Hipping  up  of  the  Popes 
FariMj  lo81 — he  adds  a  final  e  at  the  end  of  bis 
name. 

In  a  curious  MS.  set  of  church  music  books  of 
the  sixteenth  century,  preserved  in  the  Oxford 
Music  School,  he  subscribes  himself  '*  John  Mar- 
beck*';  and  hi.4  name  is  ao  {j^ven  by  Fox,  Wood, 
Scrype,  and  other  old  authors.  I  may  add  olao, 
tbot  his  son  Ktrger,  who  was  a  canon  of  Chrkt 
Church,  Oxford,  wrote  hia  name  Marbeck. 

Tho  writers  of  more  modern  times — among 
whom  I  may  name  Mawkins,  Burney,  Wnrton, 
Ritson,  Ames,  Dibdin,  Mnitland,  l^owndes,  Byc«, 
and  Jebb — invariably  fip«*ll  the  name  M«rheek, 
and  not  Mtfrberk.  Is  it  not  then  desirable  to  keep 
up  this  form  of  speUing  F

ViOKETTR  VrsiTiso  Ci.RDB. — There  is  a  fashion 
of  the  last  century  which  I  greatly  desire  to  tee 
revived  ;  and  though  I  can  do  little  to  further  its 
re-enthroderaent,  there  are  many,  doubtlesfl,  of 
jour  readers  who  are  within  the  charmed  circle 
of  (kahion  whence  issue  the  niandatea  "This  nhall 
and  this  shall  not  bo  approved  ofus ;"  '^This  shnll 
be  considered  *chic/  and  the  other  shali  be 
esteemed  vulgar." 

To  them  and  to  the  lovers  of  art  in  general  I 
appeal  to  help  forward  what  I  venture  t«-»  think  a 
ngnt  move  towards  the  creation  of  a  new  luxun,-. 
I  allude  to  the  conceit  of  ri^itintj  eard*  rtujraMtil

■world  of  the  eiphtfenth  rettfiin/. 

I  have  Inn^'  choriitbed  the  liope  that  some  one 
would  inaugurate  this  charming  extravagance, 
and  I  have  Been  afresh  stirrod  up  to  its  consider- 
ation by  an  article  which  I  had  not  before  seen  lu 
Chambers's  Book  uf  Dat/ti,  Juue  7,  i.  739,  where  a 
good  account  is  given  of  the  various  forms  which 
these  picturesque  mementos  assumed  a.d.  17(30- 
IttOO.  Visiting  cards  which  attempted  to  give 
some  expression  to  the  particular  tastes  or  habits 
of  the  possessor  would  afford  a  grateful  relief  to

{4<»  8.  It.  434,  547;  r.  182.) 

It  IB  matter  of  hifrtoiy  that  the  Hebrides  were 
from  about  tlie  e'lg-bth  to  the  eleventh  ceutury 
under  the  dominion  of  the  Northmen,  who  in- 
cluded the  Ihle  of  Man  in  their  teiritory.  T  am  not 
careful  to  »ennr«te  betwe<'n  the  Norwegiaua  and 
the  Danes,  fht^y  were  both  of  the  same  stock, 
uid  their  inHui^nce  was  much  of  the  same  charac- 
ter. Starting  from  the  lalo  of  Man,  their  piratical 
expediuoDs  swept  along:  the  western  coast,  pUui- 
dering  and  destroying  idl  within  their  reach. 
In  6Lime  cases  thi-r  elTucted  permanent  settle- 
ments, OS  we  shall  shortly  see  i  but,  for  the  most 
part,  the  chores,  headlands,  and  islands  alone 
comraomorale  the  fiicl  of  their  presence. 

Starting,  then,  from  the  Point  of  Avre  (Sonti), 
at  the  northern  extremity  of  Mona  (Lvltic),  and 
crosBiDg  over  to  the  coast  of  Cumberland,  we  find 
strong  evidences  of  n  large  infusion  uf  the  Dani^th 
element.  Allonby,  Connonby,  Birhbj,  Pousouby, 
Raveoglosa  on  the  coast;  and  iutemally  across  the 
county  from  west  to  east,  such  names  as  Cald- 
beck,Irehy,Kirko8WRld,Thomthwait«,&c.,  almost 
exclude!  ontirely  the  Anglo-Saxon  element  The 
northern  port  of  Lancashire  beyond  Morecambe 
Bay  iiresents  much  the  same  indication.  The 
islands  of  Walney  and  Foulney,  and  the  Peel  of 
Foudrey,  were  doubtless  useful  naval  statiooa  for 
the  sea-rovers. 

South  of  Morecambe  liay  the  Danish  infusion 
becomes  much  les.^  apparent,  though  it  is  signi- 
ticant  that  out  of  the  six  buudreds  into  wbicb  the 
count?  of  Lancaster  is  divided,  four  of  them 
J)Car  Danish  names — West  Derby,  Amoundt^niess, 
Louftdttlf^  and  I^yland.  The  names  Hoi^ll,  War- 
brcck.  Kirkhnm.  Westby,  &c.  indicate  a  consider- 
able Danish  influence;  but  the  majority  of  the 
names  between  the  Lune  and  the  Kibble  are  An- 
glo-Saxon. This  is  still  more  the  case  between  the 
Kibble  and  the  Mersey ;  but  here  a  detached 
Daniah  colony  settled,  and  hare  left  the  extent  of 
their  posaessions  exactly  defined  by  the  nomencla- 
ture. They  commence  at  North  Meols,  near 
Southport,  and  extend  as  far  as  Runcorn  Gap  on 
the  river  Mersey,  following  the  curved  lino  of 
coast,  and  being  bounded  landward  by  the  chord 
joining  the  two  extremities.  Within  this  area 
we  have  Formbv,  Crosby,  Kobv.  West  Derby, 
Tncn,  Widnca  (Wide  Ness),  an<f  similar  names. 
Uere  also  we  first  meet  with  the  name  of  Orme, 
which  i^  attached  to  several  prr.minpnt  points  on 
the  coast  as  well  as  places  in  the  interior.  Some 
are  inclined  to  consider  him  a  mythological  per- 
sonage; I  rather  believe  him  to  have   been  an

eminent  sea-rover,  or  rather,  a^  chc  name  is  ooi 
moD,  there  might  be  many  nf  ihero.     Hovevi 
this  may  be,  Ormpkirk  unmt^atakoably  owea 
foundation  to  a  Danish  rinne.     Let  u9  charitahl 
hope  that  after  bis  harryinira  and  piiftcies  hv  sel 
tied  quietly  down  in  l>ancft3hire,  built  a 
and  died  a   good  ChriMian.      Annthor  s 
marked  indication  of  a  si;If-contain<*d  Dani 
tlemont  is  the  Thingwall,  or  bill  of  counsel 
locality  of  which  still  beara  the  name, 
the  line  I  have  mentioned  scarcely  a  Danish 
is  to  be  found  in  South  LaDca^hire. 

( >n  the  tongue  of  land  uilled  ibe  Hundred 
Wirral    in   Cheshire,  lying  between  the  Me 
and   the  Dee,  we  find  traces  of  another  Dan 
settlement  corresponding  very  curioufily  in  nome 
rlaturn  with  that  just  deM^nbed.     We  have  he 
Orensby,  Irby,   Frankhy.   Haby,  Coldy,  Peml 
Ne.a^.  and  Neston,  a  repetition  of  the  NfeoU, 
and  little,  and  also  another  Tliw^watl  stilLpn 
serving  its  apnellation.

There  are,  however,  on  this  long  lino  of  ooa^

Though   Mh,  Roorr  "hardly   knows  why   I 

should  import  mv  nationality  into  this  subject,'' 
other  readers  of*'  N.&Q."  may  not  find  it  strange 
that  I  t^hould  say  it  st^emed  more  pri-ibahle  to  me, 
88  a  Welfbmmi,  that  a  place  in  Wales  bore  % 
ll'tUh  rather  than  a  l^anisb*  name.  Saint  Tudno 
may  have  been  a  myth,  but  the  remains  of  a  her- 
mitage (see  early  vols,  of  *•  N.  &  Q.")  and  the  old 
church  prove  that  a  pious  man,  whom  the  people 
knew  by  the  name  of  Tudno,  devoted  himself 
there  to  the  service  of  God  according  to  the  light 
he  had,  and  that  his  memory  was  canonised  by 
those  among  whom  he  laboured.  With  respect 
to  Conwav  (Coniiy),  I  do  not  see  what  ithaa  to 
do  with  tlie  question,  fyn-iry,  the  chief  water, 
so  fw  as  I  can  perceive,  has  no  connection  with 
Uatuluiino,  the  church  of  Tuduo :  but  perhaps  Mw 
is  aUo  a  *'  Danish  name."  Alas !  lor  us  poor 
Cymri,  our  own  loved  language  has  no  names  for 
our  own  hills  and  rivers,  so  we  must  ^eek  for 
them  in  the  language  of  the  roving  pirate,  who, 
milking  sudden  descents  on  our  coasts,  returned  as 
rapidly  to  their  ships  with  the  plunder  they  had 
nmaiiscd,  or  tlying  oeforu  the  avengers  of  blood, 
but  who  had  nevertheless  time  to  give  names 
to  the  various  places  they  visited,  and  more 
wonderful  still,  to  teach  the  inhabitants  to  use 
them  1     For  Mr.  Worsaae,  whom  I  havu  had  the 

{ileasure  of  meeting  more  than  once,  I  have  the 
tighest  esteem — he  is  a  true  arcbceolngist ;  but 
bis  expression,  "made  themselves  mnsters  of 
W^ales,"  can  only  mean  that  the  coasts  were  at 
their  mercv,  and  thnt  they  ravaged  the  country. 
The  liue  of  the  three  independent  and  two  tribu- 
tary aovereigns  of  the  Britons  was  not  interrupted 
by  them.  There  was  no  Danish  king  in  Wales  as 
there  was  in  England  and  in  Dublin.  As  for  the 
andent  fortress  over  Llandudno,  men  who  are 
capable  of  deciding  on  such  matters  have  agroed 
that  it  and  many  others  not  only  in  that  neigU- 
hourhood  but  throughout  Wales,  consulting  of 
hills  whose  summits  are  surrounded  by  walls  of 
Cyclopean  masonrv  containing  within  their  cir- 
cumference the  circles  of  large  stones  which 
formed  the  foundations  of  the  "  Cytian,"  are 
remains  of  British  fortresses.  In  saying  this  I 
detract  in  no  way  from  the  point  of  civilisation  to 
which  the  Northmen  had  attained.  1  am  too  well 
acquainted  with  the  aagaa  to  do  so.  Mr.  Rogkr 
pernnps  knows  nothing  of  the  aboriginal  Britons 
but  that  they  "  wore  naked  barbarians.*'  Ho  caa 
soon  learn  to  what  an  advanced  point  of  civilisa»- 
tion  they  had  arrived  if  he  tries;  ample  means 
of  doing  so  arc  within  his  reach.  To  say  nothing 
of  the  effect  produced  by  the  long  occupation  of 
the  Komans,  we  know  that  Christianity  prevailed 
among  the  Britons,  while  the  Norsemen  and 
Saxons  were  sunk  in  heathenism.  Even  in  Mr. 
Roger's  own  statement,  Mr.  French  of  Bolton 
is  no  very  great  authority.    In  the  early  stages  of

Perhaps  tho  following  may  be  of  use  to  J.  P. 
There  was  a  tr.idilioa  that  William  Pudacy — who 
held  the  estate  of  Bullnu  Hall  in  the  parish  of 
Oiseburne.  in  Craven,  Yorkshire,  from  1577  to 
1629 — hiia  upon  his  land  a  lend  mine  very  rich  in 
Bllver  {HUttjry  of  Cravrn,  by  Dr.  Whitaker,  p.  102). 
The  author  of  Webster's  AftiaU^raphia,  4io,  Lon- 
don, 1071  (p.  91),  speaking  of  silver  that  Lad 
bebn  found  in  this  part  of  Yorkshire,  says :  —

(Clarke's,  about  whicli  there  is  no  dinpute)  pub- 
lished ill  18*J1.  Hip  only  authority  as  to  the 
aaeumed  oarlifr  piratical  edition  was  Medwin, 
whose  words,  italicised  by  me,  seem  fairly  to  raidc 
•uch  a  presumption,  thoufrh  without  making  the 
assertion  positively.  If  Medwin  was  wrontr,  or 
wrote  80  looaftly  as  to  be  mieinterprotod  by  Mid- 
dleton, and  hence  by  myaelf  as  well,  I  can  only 
refer  to  a  note  mode  in  my  Memoir  uf  Shelley 
(p.  xxxii.): — 

'•  1  will  here  «ay,  once  for  all,  that  Medwin  in  an  inac- 
curate writiT,  and'  Ihoii  suive  mywlf  the  nccewily  of  con- 
tinually oxpreasinff,  when  I  8Uta  anything  on  bw  autho- 
rity, Ji'donbt  whether  it  i»  true  or  false" 

I  have  now  cited  the  only  direct  authority,  or 
Buppo8(\d  authority,  for  my  allegation.  Hut  taere 
is  another  collateral  point  which  might  seem  con- 
firmatory of  that  authoritr,  and  to  which,  there- 
fore, I  bhall  alito  refer.  Medwin  says  (X^v  of 
Sholley,  i.  102)  :— 

"That  Mr.  Hrook«  (he  was  the  ptibHTihpr,  if  not  the 
prinUT,  of  the  Owenites)  did  not  make  use  of  tho  rifaci- 
nrnti  or  pentinimtt  [i.  e.  et--rtain  en)t?n<liitioo«  made  in

cannot  o^m  anything. 

As  the  I-oxpox  HooKSELLBB  is  eviilently  well 
informed  in  Shelleyan  mattern,  I  will  not  dtuj 
that  he  haa  made  me  somewlmt  etceptical  i

and  even  if  tt  had  been  still  more  imperative,  it 
necmn  to  me  that  the  question  nt  ieaue  would 
have  been  the  same.  Mr.  Scott  himself  admits 
at  eome  length  thai,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  com- 
mittee, he  prepared  the  plan,  which,  we  are  told, 
is  to  replace  the  historical  memorials  of  the 
parish,  which  hnve  retained  their  present  position 
for  years,  the  right  of  which  those  who  sleep 
beneath  them  in  their  day  bought  and  paid  for, 
and  that  he  furnished  the  committee  with  the 
means  of  doing  what  he  knew  as  well  as  I  (though 
I  was  unable  to  express  my  feelings  so  ably  or 
eloquently)  was  utterly  wrong  and  unjustifiable.

(4**  S.  V.  237.) — A  C0RRK8POSDENT  haa  been  a 
weekly  reader  of  "  N.  &  Q.**  from  the  first  num-

Oevon  and  Cornwall— which  latter,  by  the  bye, 
WAS  delivered  to  me  and  other  members  of  the 
Exeter  Diocesan  Architectural  Society  nearly  two 
years  ago),  therefore,  rather  than  keep  others 
waiting  any  longer,  it  seemed  to  me  to  bo  more 
goo<i-temuered  to  gratifv  the  lovers  of  beUa  with 
thi*  grand  pool  of  twelve,  than  keep  thorn  flelf-

evidently  gratify  some  who  might  bo  longing  for

185.)— The  most  ancient  g*nder  of  tho  moon  is 
masculine.  According  to  Prof.  Max  Miillor  the 
Saockrit  18  mds,  clearly  derivtrd  from  a  root  m^, 
to  measure :  — 

♦*  If  the  moon  was  orif;iniU]y  called  by  the  farmer  lb« 
roesffurer,  thff  ruler  vf  davti  kiuI  weeki  and  Masons,  the

Tracing  the  genders  of  the  san  and  moon 
through  many  languages,  the  same  author  says : 

*•  In  tho  mytbolopy  of  the  Fxlda,  Mtlni,  thn  moon,  is 
tho  ion,  Sol,  the  ^iin,  tho  daughter  of  Mnniiiirori . ...  In 
Sanskrit,  thouffh  tho  Kun  is  ordinarily  Uxikcd  upon  as  a 
male  power,  the  moat  cum-nt  names  for  the  moon,  such 
ax  Chandra^  5onw,  ImdiL,  KiVMti.  are  masculine.  .  .  In 
Gothic  mrtfo,  the  moon,  is  masculine ;  %itnm6,  the  sun, 
Icmioine," 

And  so  on,  through  several  kindred  languages. 

It  is  difficult  to  retrace   the   line  of  thought 

rhich  caused  our  remote  ancestors,  the  common 

tcestors  of  all  Aryan  nations,  to  picture  to  them- 

Wes  the  sun  as  feminine  ;  but  it  seems  at  least

TUB  DESCEyD.iNTS  OF  WILLIAM  BEDKLL, 
BISUOr  OF  KILMORE. 

'William  BeOell,  Bishop  nf  Kihuore,  had  two 
.«t>nH.  William  aud  Auibrose. 

William  was  a  ck*rriyniaa,  and  received  from 
bis  father  a  ben-iGce  of  HO/,  a  ytar  in  Ireland,  in 
which  we  are  told  that  "  he  laboured  with  that 
lidelity  that  became  the  son  of  such  a  father." 

For  Ambrose,  the  bishop  purchased  nu  estate 
of  CO/,  a  year  of  one  Mr.  liaxter,  a  raiulster,  tut 
in  what  part  oT  freland  it  is  not  stated. 

Rishop  Hedell  died  on  February  7,  1041-2;  and 
in  the  summer  following?,  his  two  sons  took  ship- 
ping from  Drogheda  nnd  went  for  En^dand.  The 
eldest  son,  Mr.  William  Bedell,  w.is  made  minis- 
ter of  Rattlesden,  in  Suffolk;  but  the  younger 
»on,  Mr.  Ambrose  Redell,  returned  speedily  into 
Ireland,  and  was  a  captain  in  the  regiment  of  Col. 
Hill  (who  was  his  wife's  uncle). 

The  Rov.  Wiilinm  Bedell  oppoars  to  hare  been 
married  before  he  left  Irolsud, 

The  fiillowing  extracts  from  the  pfirish  register 
of  Rattlesden,  co.  Suffolk  (fur  which  I  am  in- 
debted to  the  kindness  and  courtesy  of  the  Rev. 
John  Barney,  the  present  rector),  give  us  a  view

Whnl  boi-Aiiie  of  Willinm  the  aon.  who  was 
baptiiwd  on  February  22,  lfl-15,  I  ba\e  not  afcer- 
tained.  No  mention  is  mtulx  of  him  in  his  brother 
Junea'i  will  subjoined,  which  ref^rB  to  all  the 
other  raombers  of  the  family  living  in  1082. 

William,  if  livinj?  in  lOyO-l,  when  his  father 
di*;d,  would  have  wiccecded  to  the  family  pro- 
perty in  E'i*ex,  a«  tlie  eldest  sou,  it  ia  to  be  pre- 
sumed. James,  in  his  will,  makes  no  reference 
to  hif  beinK"  possessed  of  property  in  Es^ox. 

The  will  of  jAme!4  Bedell  waa  proved,  in  the 
Arcliidiaronal  Court  of  Budbury,  at  Burv  St  Ed- 
mund'«,  l)«epmber  28,  l(i82.  In  it  he  ia  described 
AA  of  UatcUden,  single  man. 

To  hitf  bn3ther  Ambroao  ("who  liveth  in  the 
Itingdom  of  Ireland**)  he  ber|ueatlis  hia  lands  oud 
other  real  proiwrty  in  the  Kin^f's  Comity. 

To  his  si»l«;r  Agnes  iJedell,  of  Jtat4']Bden,  he 
aivM  bis  real  property  in  the  coftnly  of  Saffolk, 
including  the  Grove  in  hia  own  occupitlion. 

To  his  other  two  awtf-rs,  Penelope  and  IaA*belLi 
Bedell,  6i  Irefnnd,  hu  girca  50/.  eocb. 

Hia  sister  .Vpnes,  to  whom  he  gire^  the  rest  of 
hia  personalty,  ineluding  hU  boolcs  at  the  time 
lying  in  the  care  of  his  uncle  Barber,  he  appoints 
his  aole  executrix. 

From  this  will  we  nee  that,  in  1683,  the  Bedell 
family  posaf Med  lands  and  other  real  property  in 
IreJand.  It  is  probable  that  thi^was  the  prrtperty 
which  the  bihiinp  l>ou)i:lit  for  hia  second  8»in  Am- 
liro£e:  and  that  Ambroce  being  dead,  without 
UmHf  the  property  had  come  to  his  nephew 
Jftmcs,  the  testator. 

However  this  may  ho,  it  is  also  seen  that 
Ambrose,  the  son  of  the  Rev.  William  Bedell  of 
Xtattlesdeti,  with  his  aistorv  Penelope  and  laabella, 
had  emigrnled  to  Ireland,  and  were  living  there 
at  the  time  their  brother  James  made  his  will. 

In  "X.  A;  Q."  (H"*  S.  vii.  n08.  4^U»)  there  are 
articles  about  supposed  descendants  of  Bishop 
Bedell  in  Ireland. 

A  search  in  tlu!  Kalendar  of  Wills  in  the  Pro- 
bate Court  of  liublin,  or  of  other  dioceses  in 
Ireland — where,  in  those  days,  the  will  of  a  per- 
son belon^irlg  t"  King's  County  or  Cavan  would 
have  been  provfd — niijjht  perhaps  lead  to  the  dis- 
covery of  (I  Ttt'fMt  wi7/,  which  would  supply  some 
further  information  respecting  the  family  m  Ire- 
land :  the  Sf'arrh  to  extend  from  1682  for  a  teriea 
of  years  downwards. 

Some  reader  of  this  communication  who  has 
the  opportmiity,  and  who  talcos  nn  interest  in

LASCELLES  FAMILY. 


I  am  desirous  of  the  asaisLance  of  some  of  your 
genealogical  readers  on  two  or  three  very  curious 
and  interesting  questions  touching  this  family, 
and  (on  behalf  of  a  member  of  itj  would  feel 
obliged  for  any  information  I  may  receive. 

It  appears  that  the  first  known  ancestor  came 
in  with  the  Conquest,  and  that  the  name  Lne- 
celles  is  put  down  by  Inland  as  on  the  rolls  of 
Battle  Auhoy.  But,  according  to  an  ancient  MS. 
in  the  Leeds  Library,  this  name  was  not  assumed 
until  after  the  Conquest,  Picot  being  the  name 
previously  ueud.  It  seems  that  Sir  Humphrey 
Lascelle^,  Knt.,  the  son  of  Picot  the  Norman, 
received  of  'William  Rufus  several  luouors,  in- 
cluding the  castle  and  manor  of  Iliaderskelf — 
that  he  wa*  an  esquire  of  that  king's  body,  and 
that  the  morrow  after  the  king's  coronation  b*' 
hod  a  grant  of  the  following  coat: — Ar.  3  chaplels 
fiowored  in  chief  gules,  ]»icrccd  or — "  fiir  that  he 
was  the  first  snhjcet  thnt  ever  bore  Kinghope  or 
Jewell  betwixt  ring  or  primrose  iu  token  of 
marriage,  after  the  Conquest " — and  that,  olw*, 
for  his  last  farewell,  iu  the  New  X^l^est,  the  Ywg 
gave  him  the  eiKnet  from  olThis  finger  on  the  dav 
of  his  death,  when  slain  by  Sir  Guulter  Tyrrell, 
and  that  Sir  Humphrey  placed  the  signet  in  tb** 
base  p&rt  of  his  shield,  and  held  it  for  his  coat  of 
anus,  "  as  appeareth  in  the  27**  of  Leo,  the  book 
of  Bow  James" J  and  here  follows  a  descent  of 
many  generalions,which  bus  evidently  been  copied 
from  some  old  roll  ^  in  fact  a  much  earlier  and 
langer  descent  than  appears  in  any  of  the  records 
of  Heralds*  College. 

On  referring  to  \Vhitaker*s  Htchmomighire,  it  is 
slated  that  after  the  Domesday  Survey  the  manor 
of  Lartington  was  granted  by  Henry  fil.  Hervey 
to  Bobert  de  Lascel,  iu  which  grant  the  nnnie 

"  La  Seel  or  do  SigiUo occurs  for   the 

first  lime."  1  may  observe  that  no  Robort  U

only  a  younger  son.    It  is  further  atatRd,^  \W.

according  to  «n  undated  MS.  in  the  Colleffo  of 
Arms,  tbero  were  in  tho  east  window  of  KirkLy- 
Wiske  church  the  lipurepof  five  kneeling  knights, 
including  ^>ir  Roger  Lascelles,  who  bore  nr.  3 
ch^pleU  gu  :  whiUt  another  shield  bore  for  Lae- 
cellfs,  8«.  R  cross  Hory  or,  —  thiit  Kirkby  and 
Scruton  were  on  the  Donietday  Survey  bnlden  as 
xniUtary  fees  nf  Earl  AUn  (nephew  of  th©  Con- 
queror), by  Picot,  *' ancestor  of  tho  family  of 
LnAcelles,  and  that  Scrnton  §o  continued  in  that 
family  till  truip.  Edward  I. 

1.  My  first  query,  therefore,  is  (U  to  the  chinpe 
of  name.  Wtm  that  chnngo  in  consequence  of  the 
ring  gift  of  liufus  Y  It  s^eras  rery  probable,  but 
on  turning  in  Drake's  Hisionj  of  I'ork,  I  am  told 
tbnL  a  Jvascellcs  wa^  one  nf  the  magistrates  who 
with  Clifford,  the  governor,  stood  tho  siefre  of 
William  the  Conquemr  in  the  third  yeor  of  his 
reign  (p.  217).  And  I  have  been  further  informed 
that  on  a  cnlumn  at  Dive?,  erected  to  commemo- 
tate  the  Norman  invasion  of  England,  nmoiip 
others  the  names  of  ''  Lnncelles  (sic)  Picot  and 
Roger  Picot''  are  inscribed.  These  stauraenta 
appear  to  be  altoj^ether  opposed  to  the  Rufus 
tradition,  but  the  probabilities  are  that  the  evi- 
dences from  which  Drake  wrote  hia  hiatorv  men- 
tioned the  more  modem  name,  as  more  intelligible 
than  simply  nientioniug  the  more  ancient.  Ju«t 
aa  the  n^ll  of  HMttle  Abbey  has  "  Laacelles,*'  or 
perhap?",  '' Laasvls,"  rather  than  Picot;  and  that 
the  French  antiquaries  have  written  on  the  Dives  [ 
Column  "  Lnneelles Picot,  Ac,  tlie  latter  intended 
either  as  an  alias  or  a  aurname,  an  illustration 
being  ot  hand  in  the  case  of  the  before-iuenlinned 
idigree,  which  commence?*  with  "lliimphrev 
aacelles,  Knt.,  the  son  of  l^cot  de  hascelles, 
•nd  that  in  fact  there  was  a  second  I*icot  called 
Roger.  lodHfd.  the  only  renl  difficully  I  have  is 
a»  to  the  pnrticiilHr  occasion  upon  wliich  this  ring 
wtt«  given  by  Riifus.  I  think  wo  are  commnnly 
told  by  historians  that  the  king  wus  hurting  with 
a  great  retinue — thnt  it  was  '*  suppowd  "  that  he 
was  slain  by  Tyrrell  (Tyrrell  having  fled),  and 
that  the  corpj»«  was  fouad  by  a  charconl-bunicr, 
and  corted  by  him,  if  I  remember  rightly,  to 
Wincheater— no  reference  being  made  to  other 
company.  I  submit  that  it  is  scarcely  probable 
that  Loeceltes  would  have  forsaken  the  dyins  or 
dead  kiufr,  unleos,  if  horpelesa,  to  go  in  searcn  of 
help — reluminir  unaMo  to  find  the  spot  where 
Rufus  died — the  body  in  the  meantime  being 
found  bv  the  charcoal  burner.  But  Laacellea  was 
an  esqniro  of  the  king's  body,  and  would  there- 
fore be  likely  to  have  been  near  the  king  all  the 
[day,  and  may,  in  f«ct,  have  fled  to  avoid  being 
taxed  with  his  murder.  But  such  a  charge  could 
never  have  been  BUf«tatned,  from  ita  yery  impro- 
bability, aa  both  w|uiro  and  king  were  on  the  best 
of  terras,  and  no  profit  whatever  could  have  arisen 
to  the  former  by  the  death  of  the  latter  (except 


as  the  hireling  of  Ruftia'  eucresaor),  ud 
though   Lascelles*  place  was  by  the  kinr'a 
the  souire  might  have  been  distanced  in^l 
as  well  as  the  rest  of  the  hunters, 
with  all  reverenre  for  the  heralds  of  ani 
incline  on  the  whole  to  the  opinion  that  tK« 
if  given  by  Rufui^,  was  given  nt  some  other  I 
than  that  of  his  death — ipost  probably  befenl 
became  king— and  that  the   name  Loaerlleii 
nasumed,   or  rather,  that   tho    donee  Tvaa 
Picot  of  the  King  or  Seal,  a.H  early  a»3  Will 
or  even  within  a  few  months  after  the  C<w\i 
and  that  B9  the  French  was  then  the  court 
gunge,  the  nickname  would  be  Picot  del 
or  de   la  SccUos  or  Scellcz — being  then  i& 
feminine.

counts differ — under  the   roots   of  mugwort  and

of  whom  it  was  proved  on  the  trial  of  tho  Leigh 
peerage  case  before  the  House  of  Lords  in  1828 
that  no  register  of  his  burial  could  be  found.  It 
ia  strongly  suspected  that  he  survived  many  years,

(.3'*S.  viii,  81,  155;  x.  376.) 

The  date  of  the  death  of  this  celebrated  cha- 
racter appears  to  me  to  be  involved  in  soma 
obscurity,  which  a  little  ventilation  in  ''N.  &Q.'* 
m.iy  perhaps  clejvr  up.  Tfie  interesting  article  by 
G.  W.  J.,  at  the  above  reference,  gives  the  record 
of  her  burial  as  having;  taken  place  March  "I'i, 
1707,  at  lieuuendun  in  Kent.  How  is  this  to  be 
reconciled  with  the  following  copy  of  a  broadside, 
with  music,  printed  without  date  in  the  latter 
part  of  the  last  centnry  ?  —

It  M  stated  to  bo  "By  Mr,  Haniogton" — % 
name  well  known  in  the  literature  of  our  country, 
by  which  I  understand  both  words  and  muHf;; 
l/ut  this  is  of  MO  consequence  in  the  inquiry.  The 
piint  that  calls  fur  attention  is  the  unlikely 
circumstance  (at  lea«>t  it  heema  so  to  me)  of  the 
rcsprctnhlc  Mrs.  Xorris  "  lir'ing  in  state"  at  Bath 
as  Kitty  Fi^her!  The  name  of  tho  courte.'»na. 
obliternied  by  that  of  tho  good  wife,  to  be  n>vivea

and  requires  elucidation.  Perbana  some  of  thai 
readers  of  "  N.  k  Q."  may  bo  able  to  throw  B 
little  light  on  the  matter  from  a  record,  local  or 
otherwise,  of  the  event  referred  to. 

The  second  point  of  my  inquiry  refers  to  the

date  of  Kitty  Fuher's  death.  Is  it  quite  certain 
that  the  entry  of  Mrs.  Nonis's  burial  at  Bennen- 
den  baa  reference  to  the  second  Mrs.  Norris? 
According  to  W.  W.  S.  in  '*  N.  &  Q."  (3^  S.  viii. 
155),  Mr.  Norria  married  three  times.  Does  the 
entiy  refer  to  the  J!r$t  wife  of  this  gentleman  ? 
If  so,  Uie  date  of  Kitty  Fisher's  death  has  to  be 
sought  for  at  a  later  period. 

In  Sir  Joshua  KeTnolds*8  Account  Book  we 
read :  «  April,  1774,  Mr.  Crewe  for  Kitty  Fisher's 
portnut,  5*i/.  10«."  Tliis  is  a  curious  entry  to  find 
nine  years  after  the  lady's  death — if  ^he  really  did 
die  when  stated.  In  the  gallery  at  Petworth  is, 
or  was  (according  to  the  late  Mr.  J.  H.  Burn),  a 
portnut  of  Kitty  Fisher,  with  an  open  letter 
before  her.  On  this  may  be  read  the  words  '*  My 
dear  Kitty  Fisher/'  and  the  date  Jan.  9,  1782,  is 
inscribed  on  the  open  fold.  What  is  the  meaning 
of  this  date,  so  long  after  the  lady's  death  ? 

In  the  Collection  of  National  Portraits,  exhi- 
bited at  South  Kensington  in  18G7,  were  two 
portraits  of  the  subject  of  this  notice :  one  lent  by 
Earl  Morley,  the  other  by  Lord  Crewe.  The 
notice  in  the  catalogue  is  as  follows :  — 

"  Miss  Fi«cher,  as  written  by  Sir  Joshua  (her  name 
being  Geraian)i  to  whom  she  sat  April,  1769,  and  many 
times  subsequentlj ;  celebrated  for  her  beauty  and  wit ; 
frequentlj  paint^  br  him;  married,  1766,  Mr.  Morris 
[nc]  of  ft  Kentish  family ;  died  1771." 

The  discrepancies  in  dates  between  the  burial 
register  and  the  catalogue  are  worth  pointing 
outf  although  I  do  not  attach  much  importance 
to  the  latter  as  an   authority.     After  all,  the 


doubts  I  have  raised  Biaj  saaily  he  dM

USELESS  MONKS  DOOMED  TO  DEATH. 
(4*''  9.  T.  196.) 
This  inhumnu  custom  was,  most  probably,  a 
perpetuation  in  a  mitigated  form  of  that  which 
was  practised  in  the  East  long  anterior  to  the 
advent  of  the  father  of  history,  who,  it  will  be 
remembered,  makes  several  allusions  to  it — a  cus- 
tom which  still  obtains  in  certain  remote  comers 
of  the  earth,  where  the  light  of  civilisation  has 
been  quenched,  or,  as  likely  as  not,  where  it  has 
never  yet  penetrated.  Indeed,  so  widespread  was 
this  practice  in  antiquity  amongst  peoples  dif- 
fering no  less  remarkably  in  culture  and  pursuits 
than  in  physical  characteristics,  that  no  reasonable 
doubt,  I  imagine,  can  be  entertained  of  its  having  , 


been  derived  from  some  common  sour 
originated,  I  believe,  with  those  proto- 
pophagi,  the  Scythi«na  ;  at  all  events,  I  ha^ 
to  trace  it  to  any  higher  source ;  but  be  tl 
may,  the  usage  (however  incredible  it  ma; 
in  the  ears  of  those  who  have  never  ei 
the  subject)  of  accelerating  the  death  of 
and  aged  by  violence  or  stiirvfltion,  and  mo 
cially  of  parents  by  their  children,  was  pi 
in  later  times  by  motives  of  piety  and  a 
It  was  a  dutv  assiduously  inculcated  in 
mestic  circle  by  the  victims  themselves,  n 
yet  they  were  exempt  from'  phyacal  suflfei 
in  the  full  vigour  of  life.  In  earlier  i 
practice  appears  to  have  originated  in  a  n 
gether  unpardonable  desire,  considering  tik(

So  far  as  I  know,  the  cruel  practice  of  aban- 
doning the  ailing  to  their  fate,  without  making 
the  smallest  effort  to  relieve  their  increasing 
necessities  or  to  prolong  their  days,  bnt,  on  the 
contrary,  to  curtail  thera,  is  now  e.\clupively  con- 
fined to  the  New  World  and  lo  a  few  Polynesian 
families.  One  circumslanoe  with  respect  to  it,  in 
the  former  locality,  is  particularly  noteworthy, 
and  may  possibly  afford  hereafter,  or  when  this 
Mibjf*ct  has  been  more  fully  investigated  than 
hitherto,  a  clue  to  the  most  probable  origin  of  the 
antient  populations  on  the  soulhi«m  continent 
amongst  whom  it  prevailed,  a^  well  as  of  those  few 
ii^olated  communities  amongst  whom  it  still  pre- 
vails. It  hag  always  been  restricted  to  the  terri- 
tories watered  by  the  Orinoco  and  Marafion  or 
upper  Amazon,  and  to,thecoaJ^ts  of  Urnzil  and  that 
portion  of  the  continent  which  furnishes  tributary 
streams  to  the  last-meutioned  river.  Qarcilfiaso, 
the  Spanish  historian  and  a  contemporary  of  the 
conqueror*,  stales  that  the  ancient  TVnivians 
indulgf>d  in  the  practice,  not  only  of  Mlsying  thinr 
sged  and  infirm  parents,  butofafterwaisis  solemnly 
feasting  upnn  their  remains;  and  according  to  the 
report  of  Mr.  Clements  Markham,  the  editor  of  the 
loj/afffs  of  OrelitiHQ  and  Acuha,  pMinhud  a  few 
years  since  by  the  Uakluyt  Society,  and  who  has 
bimsnlf  trodden  iu  the  footsteps  of  those  two 
intrepid  adventurers,  the  Cocnmas,  a  wild  tribe 
located  on  the  bank^  of  the  Maraflon,  still  mak^ 
it  a  religious  practice  to  eat  the  He«h  of  such  aged 
relatives  whom  they  sacrifice,  and  grind  their 
bone.-§  into  powder  which  ihpy  mix  nnd  quafT  in  a 
ff  mwutod  liquor.  *'  U  it  not  betliT,"  they  demand 
of  the  casual  and  astonished  traveller,  "to  be  in- 
side a  friend  than  to  bo  swallowed  up  by  the  black 
earth  Y  "  it  would  savour  of  inequity  to  accuse 
tfaaqe  secluded  people  nf  the  want  of  natural  af- 
fection, merely  because  of  this  horrid  propen- 
sity. They  have  long  since  forgotten  the  real 
origin  and  purport  of  tne  custom  and  iHanicd  only 
to  exaggerate  it.  As  the  traveller  is  silent  on  the 
subject  of  their  general  troatraeut  of  family  connec- 
tions, we  may  charitably  assume  that  they  are  solely 
actuated  in  this  particular  conduct  bv  superetitioua 
motive?.  I  am  disposed  lo  think  t^nt  in  no  in- 
etauce,  whether  in  ancient  or  in  modem  times,  was 
the  killing  of  the  ued  and  inlirm  prompted  by 
any  other  feelinps  than  thoso  of  genuine  com- 
miseriition  and  kindneaa.  In  treating  "^f  bar- 
barifim  the  principles  of  morality,  of  course,  arc 
beaide  the  qnostioii.  My  view  of  the  usage  is 
countenance*!  by  the  present  policy  of  the  Nao- 
qiiapus,  a  demi-civilised  people  on  the  Labrador 

E'ninsnln,  who,  as  in  the  instance  of  the  ancient 
ritona,  act  upon  the  expressed  desire  of  the  vic- 
tims themsclvea,  when  old  ago  loaves  them  in- 
capable of  exertion.  Mr.  Hind,  in  his  KrplQrii- 
iion*  of  thnt  country  (vol.  ii.  p.  01»)  quotes  tU« 
following  language  of  his  friend^  Mr.  M*Lean  : — 


* 


"  I  muKt  ilo  tliem  the  justice  to  Aar  Ihat  tha  parent 
himself  expresses  a  wihIi  tu  (Jrpart,  otlirrwi»a  the  un- 
jiAturnl  (leeil  would  pnilMlilr  never  ha  commUlcd;  for 
the)*  in  general  treat  tbe  old'  [XHipIe  with  much  care  aud 

teaderiiesjj." 

The  same  observfttion  applies  to  tlie  InouiU,  of 
whom  wo  hfive  an  intereslini?  do^cription  from 
the  pen  of  Captam  Hftll,  the  philanthropic  rovA^r 
in  search  of  tbe  lost  cren's  of  tbe  Ercbiis  and 
Terror.  That  gentWnian  teatiHea  to  the  fact  of 
tbe  weU-meanmg  intention  and  uffectionttta  dis- 
poaitioD  of  thoAe  Arctic  pfople ;  yet  it  U,  aa*it 
lias  been  from  time  tmracm'>nal,  a  custom  with 
thtiiu  to  wall  up  their  a;;ed  aick  in  Ice,  and 
abandon  tbe  jHwr  crealuree  to  their  fate.  Never- 
thuleas,  they  are  careful  to  place  ivithin  their 
reach  a  cruse  of  water  and  a  little  food  on  a  platter. 

It  is  difficult  to  conjecture,  much  Ic&s  explain, 
how  such  a  usage  as  that  in  question  originated 
in  the  far  distant  inlands  in  the  S^uth  Pacific 
Ocean,  Ilv  far  the  moat  villainous  form  of  it  is, 
or  was  till  very  lat*?ly,  practised  in  \'ili,  the 
largest  of  the  Fiiian  ^oup.  IVrhapH  it  travelled 
thither  ina  the  LHstetu  Archipelago,  and  was  in- 
troduced by  MaltiTiin  voyagers ;  for,  according  to 
Marco  I'olo,  he  ohscrved  ihe  custom  among  the 
Battas  of  Sumatra  in  the  tbiiteenth  century. 
Thence  it  is  not  imp08«ib1ei  I  think,  to  trace  it 
northwardfl  to  the  onuntnca  b>>rdcring  on  the

1,  It  in  quite  certain  that  forks  were  known 
to  our  Anprlrt-Saxon  ancestora,  but  Mr.  Wright 
ihinks  that  they  were  not  u&ed  by  tboni  for  feud- 
ing, but  merely  for  Rervinj?.  In  1831  one  waj* 
found  lit  Sevinj:tiin,  Wilts,  with  coins  of  t'eulnoth, 
Berhtulf,  ICgbert,  Ethdwulf,  and  AtheUtnn  (a.i». 
700  to  eyO).  This  in  enjrrnved  in  the  J3onl-  of 
Day*  (ii.  573),  and  is  in  Lord  Londesborough'a 
collection.     This  mijiht  have  been  used  for  sacred 

furposes;  but  another  wa.'^  found  with  a  knife  in 
85h,  at  an  Anglo-Saxon  bnrial-fnround  at  Ham-

have  met  with,  and  the  number  of  copies  that  I 
have  met  with  as  a  collector  has  been  legion, 
have  been  printed  in  eight  volumes.  There  is

The  Turkuh  Spy  hod  ft  great  popularity  in  this 
country  in  the  first  half  of  the  last  century,  and 
called  forth  a  host  of  imitators.  I  remember  well 
an  old  gentleman,  whom  I  knew  in  my  younger 
days,  who  was  cmphatlcaUy  a  man  of  one  book, 
having  never  read  any  other  through.  The  work 
to  which  he  had  devoted  himself  was  The  Turkuh 
Spy;  and  ho  had  made  himself  so  ftuch  master 
of  it  as  to  pass  off  as  a  man  of  considerable  know- 
ledge and  acquirements  amongst  his  associates, 
and  indeed  was  always  looked  up  to  by  them  as 
an  authority  whenever  historical  matters  were 
broached.  ITe  left  me  his  copy  of  the  work, 
which  I  have  now ;  but  I  regret  to  say  that,  in 
my  hands,  it  has  not  been  productive  of  the  same 
gratifying  results  which  it  occasioned  in  his.

Victims  of  the  Guillotine  (4***  S.  v.  273.)— 
Some  forty  years  ajrf>,  accompanied  by  Lord  Dur- 
ham, Mr.  Edward  Ellen,  and  Mr.  Dawson  Damer, 
I  had  an  opportunity  of  examining  the  records, 
kept  by  M.  Sanson  at  his  private  house,  of  all  th*^ 
executions  by  the  guillotine  which  had  taken 
place  at  Paris  during  and  since  the  French  revo- 
lution. There  is  a  proc^n-verhal  of  each  kept  in 
admtrable  order,  and  duly  signed  bv  the  officials 
who  attUted  at  the  executions.  We  were  much 
struck  with  the  current  exaggerations  as  to  the 
numbere  of  victimfs  and  I  have  little  doubt  that 
Mr.  Carlyle  ■  is  right  in  asserting  that  the  whok 


number  was  under  two  thonMsd.  Th»  nmk

Snakes  consi'icuous  by  tueir  Absence  (4^'' 
S.iv.  501;  v.  oO,  M,  101,  180.)— In  connection 
with  the  above  subject,  I  venture  to  send  you  the 
following  quotfttiou,  which  I  have  no  doubt  will 
be  of  interest  to  many  of  your  readers.  It  is 
taken  from  liambard's  Peramhulation  of  KerJ^ 
p.  78,  ed.  1570,  where  it  occupies  a  prominent 
position,  so  that  the  words  '*  Xo  snakes  in 
Tanet,"  printed  in  the  margin,  instantly  struck 
my  eye  on  casually  turning  over  the  pages  of  the 
book.    Lambard  says : — 

"Julian  Solinuft  (in  his  dcftcription  of  England)  nnith

AUTOGBAPHS  OB  LlIHOGRAPHS  (i'*"  S.  V.  224.) 

Your  correspondent  De  Mobatia  is  something  in 
the  position  of  the  gentleman  who  ofl'ered  for  sale 
to  a  Jew  a  stone  supposed  to  he  a  diamond.  The 
Jew  produced  a  bit  of  candle  and  a  blow-pipe, 
saving  "  Now,  ma  tear,  if  it  ish  not  a  diamond  it 
will  not  be  hurt  in  dc  leasht ;  but  if  it  wA  a  dia- 
mond it  iciil  all  be  bfoivti  away  in  yatth.'"  In  other 
words,  any  test  which  will  demonstrate  that  the 
autographs  ia  question  are  in  writing  ink  will  do 
so  by  destroying  the  ink  itself.  I  should  advise 
De  Mobatia  to  apply  to  a  very  small  portion  of 
the  suspected  writmg  a  solution  of  chloride  of 
limef  wnich  will  either  quite  remove  or  nearly 
bleach  any  ordinary  writing  ink,  but  has  no  action 
on  the  greasy  carbon  ink  used  bv  lithographers. 
A  powerful  magnifying  glass  will  also  enable  a 
pretty  accurate  opinion  to  be  formed  by  showing 
the  granular  character  of  most  writing  reproduced

Oaten  Pipes,  etc.  (4"-  S.  v.  147,  237.)  — 
Straw  pipes,  or  flutes  or  clarinets — for  I  hardly 
know  what  to  call  them — are  common  enough  in 
our  harvest  fields,  and  I  have  made  them  myself 


when  a  boy.  Any  straw  will  do — wbett,  ottjij^ 
&c. — no  matter.    The  notes  are  the  same  u  wm 


of  the  old  keyless  military  fife— an  instnuBa^I 
believe,  now  laid  aside  forpjccolo  and  oetavefalk 
I  remember,  many  years  ago,  an  old  OxforiAiBi 
man  who  used  to  pay  an  annual  visit  (after  hm- 
vest)  to  Itondon,  and  who  sold  oaten  ppei  it  a 
penny  each.  *'  Pan-pipes,"  made  of  commoomli^ 
reeds,  are  also  common  enough  in  many  eom^ 
phices ;  but  they  require  more  labour,  olmltfii^' 
and  care  in  the  making  than  the  stiair  ioMK 
ments  do.  I  see  no  reason  to  suppose  Ait  m 
rustic  instruments  were  suggested  oy  the  nmd 
Virgil. 

The  "shepherd's  pipe"  reminds  me  of  the  li^ 
told  of  a  London  alderman's  daughter,  wIjo  a* 
iug  the  poetic  pastoral  rage  went  as  far  uSdt^ 
hnry  plain  to  hear  a  shepherd's  pipe!  AAeri' 
little  trouble  she  found  a  real  shepherd,  sad  H': 
costing  him  said,  "  But  where's  your  p^f"  Hi 
answered,  "Miss!  I  left  it  at  home,  'cuttl- 
ain't  got  no  baccy"  \  Stephen  Jackwk. 

Thanking  your  correspondents  Mr.  LLonoi 
Mr.  Oaklet  'for  their  answers  to  the  abore  qaaji

Theocritus  has  the  huy:^,  itaAa^tfi,  and  trvpfyf  (^' 
pipes,  I^t.  Jidula)y  each  of  which  would  rerfjf 
make  a  musical  instrument.  The  use  of  ateMii

from  Virgil  (£cl.  iii.  25-27)  proves  nothing,  •

conclusiive  as  to  the  jntch^  leav&  the  questioaM 
avenn  open,  until  it  be  decided  on  other  grouiA. 
My  own  present  opinion  is,  that  avena  was  sec* 
darily  used  for  any  tube  or  pipe,*  irrespective  «

Certainly  Iheria  was  a  not  unimportant  conntr}' 
in  thu  ancient  Ilighlauds  of  Asia  Minor,  and  the 
name  itself  extended  from  the  Knpbr<ttt>9,  on  tbe 
banks  of  which  Meber  and  his  dnsnendant  Ahram 
the  Hebrew  lived,  to  the  rivers  Hebnis  (in  Thrace) 
and  Ibena  (Spain),  and  the  cities  Kbor  and  Erro 
(Evreux)  in  Uritain  and  Gaul 

Uut  it  is  pretty  vrell  nj^eed  that  the  word  Tbfr, 
Jieber,  her  means  nothing  more  than  a "  lui-

whi.'ther  the  Basques  are  a  branch  of  the  stock.

JOHN  HAWKIXS.  M.D.:    QCEEX  OF  POHEMIA : 
DR.  JOHN  MOKE. 

(4"'  S.  V.  224,  330.) 

John  More  was  an  eminent  M.D.  of  London,  and 
I  happen  to  know  somewhat  of  his  aod  bin  family's 
history  from  the  circumstance  of  his  having  been 
the  owner  of  Thelwall  Hall  oud  the  manor  of 
Tlielwall,  which  are  now  my  property.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  Thelwall  property,  Dt,  More  or  Moore, 
for  he  18  described  in  both  ways,  wns  owner  also 
of  several  other  estates  in  Cheshire,  and  of  the 
manors  of  Kirtlinglon  and  Langford  in  the  connty 
of  Nottinji:hAra,  purchased  from  the  Earl  of  Kinff- 
Bton,  and  also  of  the  lordship  of  HocktTton.  in 
the  latter  county,  which  be  boug-bt  from  Gilnort 
Bourne,  Esq.,  ^erjefint-at-Law.  Dr.  More  pnr- 
chast»d  the  manor  of  TTielwntl  from  the  Brookes 
of  Norton  in  1G21,  and  by  indenture  dated  No- 
vember 23,  104-J,  he  settled  his  ©states  on  his 
nephew*!,  Sir  Kdwanl  More,  Bnrt.,  nnd  John  More, 
Esquire,  and  the  heirs  mate  of  their  bodies.  He 
died  issiiele.H9  about  1(M5,  and  was  thereupon  suc- 
ceeded in  the  mnnor  of  Tholwoll  ond  bis  other 
estates  by  bis  nephew  Sir  Edward  More,  Bal^,

Durinpr  tlie  lime  of  the  Commonwealth,  Sir  Ed-

can  be  no  doubt,  1  fancy,  that  the  arms  referred 
to  by  Mn.  W.  SpabboW  SrarsoN  are  foreign,  the 
Con'tinontfila  not  being  particiilftT  about  quartering 
fruit  and  other  savoury  vinnds  on  their  shields— a 
cuptom,  however,  that  peems  to  have  been  adopted 
aa  Jute  as  the  eixtoenth  century,  by  whicb  timo 
evfrv  more  masculine  device  appears  to  bava- 
been  approprinted  to  the  feudal  iiiniiliea.  ThSj^ 
student  in  ueraldry  caa  tell,  witb  a  pood  deal  of 
certainty,  the  ancient  arms  of  our  own  land  from 
thoao  of  modem.  gran,t  or  adoption,  imd,  I  think, 
with,  still  greater  eaaCj,  ,tba  ulco  coals  of  the

In  the  an9W»?r  to  K  D.'s  q^uery.  which  nppoared 
in  ynur  inipression  of  Fob.  *20  ltt«t,  it  is  stated 
that  this  (ilficf^r  was  en^^nged  with  Lord  Corn-

is  an  error.  The  Litut-Col.  Knox  who  was  pro-

theVefore  Greek  is  a  dead  lanfriia^fe,  which  men 
now  neither  write  nor  ppeolc.  Had  ho  paid  a  visit

have  before  me  Greek  books  and  Greek  news- 
papers that  I  bought  in  Constaritinople,  which 
nre  written  in  what  is  known  aa  Bvzantine  Greek, 
which  any  claaaical  scholar  can  read  with  ease. 
lie  would  have  found  aleo  that  ihtre  is  a  cursive 
Greek,  used  by  those  who  carry  on  correspondence 
in  that  language,  which  differs  as  much  from 
printed  Greek  aa  Knglish  writing  doca  from  print- 
ing. The  idea  of  an  Kn};liahman  frascriiiuif^  a

one ;  but  one  also  calculated  to  raise  a  smile,  not 
onlv  on  the  countenance  of  a  Greek,  but  also  of 
an  lEngli.-^hman.

raneeB  of  Lebanon  and  Antilebanon  ia  the  valley 
which  the  Hebrews  termed  BikaLh-hal-Lebanon, 
and  whicb  the  modem  Arabs  term  the  Beka'a. 
In  thia  ralluy  the  tarritorieti  of  Israel,  at  their 
moat  extended  neriodi  only  ascended  northward 
to  the  Le-bo  Chamalb,  or  (as  it  is  translated  in 
our  national  version),  *'  the  entering  in  of  Ua- 
math.''  The  Le-bo  Chamath  nuy  be  safely  iden- 
tified with  the  Lybo  of  the  Komans,  and  with  the 
Lebouah  of  the  modem  Arabs,  a  place  about  fif- 
teen miles  to  the  north  of  Baalbek* 

The  Mosaic  bouudary-Une  (Num.  xxxiv.  7-9) 
comprised  a  great  extent  of  country  on  the 
nortbem  border,  which  was  never  conquered  by 
the  Israelites.  It  extended  from  GeboJ  Uhc  Byb- 
lus  of  the  Komans  and  the  modem  Jebeil)  on  the 
coaflt  (Josh.  xiii.  0),  over  that  part  of  the  Lebanon 
range  which  Vitm  called  ilount  Hor^  to  the  Le-bo 
Chamath.  Now,  if  a  direct  line  wore  drawn 
eastward  from  Gebal,  it  would  touch  olmjoet 
exactly  on  the  situ  of  Lebouah.  The  river  OiontieB, 
nsing  at  or  near  Lebouah,  pursues  its  way  north- 
ward through  the  vale  of  Ccele-Syria  to  Hamah, 
which  is  admitted  to  have  been  the  Chamath 
l^ibbah  of  Hebrew  geography.  The  king  of 
Chamath  Ilabbah  was  one  of  the  moet  powerful 
of  the  monftrcbfl  of  Northern  Syria,  llis  do- 
minionSf  which  on  the  east  of  Antilebanon  bor- 
dered southward  on  those  of  Damascus,  evidently 
extended  in  the  valley  of  tho  Beka'a  to  the  source 
^f  the  Otontes ;  so  "that  h^re  may  properly  be 
placed  the  Lobo  Chnui.ilij,  or  "  the  entrance." 
from  the  south,  "  to  tbe  dominions  of  Chamath, ' 
AVe  must  be  c^ireful  not  to  confound  Chamatb 
Kabbah  with  the  Chamath  Tzobah  conquorod  by 
Solomon  (2  Chron.  viiL  3.)  Tbo  former  wafl 
called  Chamath  Kabbah,  or  Chamath  the  Oreat, 
to  diatiDguish  it  from  tbo  city  of  tho  same  name 
in  Tzobah,  and  which  might  properly  be  colled 
Chamath  the  lesser. 

Where  Chamath  Tzobah  wae,  I  willendeavour 
ti)  show  when  I  treat  of  Tzobah,  the  region  in 
which  it  was  situated. 

To'i,  king  of  Chamath  Itabbfth,  was  the  friend 
of  David  (2  Sam.  viii.  0),  but  certainly  neither 
his  subject  nor  tributary.  If  hia  territories  had 
been  invaded  either  by  David  or  Solomon,  we 
may  bo  assured  that  some  mention  would  bave 
been  made  in  the  Hebrew  records  of  so  important 
a  war. 

4.  Aaiiilcbanon, — In  tho  Antilebanon  range,  it 
apiwars  that  Solomon  possessed  the  city  of  Chat- 
zor  (1  Kings  ix.  15),  and  probably  that  of  Chalaor 
'Lynon.  Tbo  aitea  of  these  two  citiea  are  now 
known  aa  Haxury  and  *Ain  el-IIoxury.  They 
were  on  the  southern  extremity  of  this  range  of

mountains;  and  we  hare  no  reason  to  beliore 
that  any  other  part  of  AntUebanon  was  Included 
in  the  jomioione  of  Solomon. 

5.  DanuucuA. — On  the  east  of  .Vntilobanon,  the 
first  oonsmcuoua  object  which  presents  itself  is 
the  city  or  DamAacus.  We  are  told  (2  Sam.  viii. 
6)  that  Darid  put  garrisons  in  Syria  of  DamascuR, 
and  that  the  Syrians  became  tributary  to  Darid 
and  brought  him  gifts.  Aram  Dammesek,  or 
Syria  of  Damaacua,  means  properly  the  Urntory, 
or  a  portion  of  it,  and  might  not  comprise  the  cUy. 
But  even  supposing  the  city  of  Damascus  to  be 
here  meant,  the  Israelitic  dominion  over  it  was  of 
•very  short  duration.  Rezin  (one  of  the  officers  of 
Hadadezer,  king  of  Tsobah),  after  the  conquest 
of  that  wealtliY  kingdom  by  David,  fled  to  Da- 
mascas  with  a  band  of  followers,  and  reimed  there, 
and  was  an  adversaiy  to  Israel  all  ike  days  of 
Solomon.     (1  Kings  xi.  24,  S6.) 

It  is  quite  clear,  therefore,  that  Damascus  never 
formed  part  of  the  dominions  of  Solomon.  On 
the  contrary,  under  Rezin  and  his  suocessors,  it 
betNimf!  the  capital  of  that  powerful  kingdom  of 
Aram,  or  Syria,  which  in  after  times  inflicted  so 
many  fatal  cnlamities  on  the  kingdom  of  Israel. 

0  and  7.  Tzohah  <tnd  Tadm<^. — The  kingdom  of 
Xxobah  and  the  city  of  Tadmor  have  bwn,  and 
still  are,  the  subjects  of  such  astounding  errors 
among  Biblical  critics  and  geographers,  that  it 
would  be  impossible  to  treat  of  them  with  the 
proper  degree  of  attention  and  illustration  in  the 

f  resent  note  without  extending  its  limits  Loo  far. 
propose  therefore  to  discuss  this  part  of  the 
auojecl  in  two  separate  notes,  one  "  On  the  King- 
dom of  Tzobah,"  and  the  other  '*  On  the  City  of 
Tadmor,  or  Palmyra." 

1  think  I  may  PHfely  engage  to  show  in  these 
note*  that  neither  Tzotaah  nor  Tadmor  formed  any 
part  of  the  dominions  of  Solomon. 

IL  Eastern  Bordkb.  —  On  the  eastern  aide 
there  was  an  accession  to  Israel,  in  the  reign  of 
David,  of  the  two  unfortunate  kingdoms  of  Am- 
mon  and  Moab.  The  conqucflt  of  these  two  king- 
doms had  been  expressly  interdicted  to  Israel  by 
the  Moaaic  law,  because  Jehovah  had  given  them 
to  the  children  of  Lot  for  a  possession.  (Dent.  ii. 
0,  10.)  They  both,  however,  were  conquered  by 
David  and  possessed  by  Solomon.* 

III.  SoDTUEKx  BoBDKR.— In  the  most  solemn 
t«rma  hadMoaea  interdicted  the  conquest  of  Kdom. 
*'  Meddle  not  with  them  fthe  people  of  £dom] ; 
for  I  will  not  give  you  of  their  land,  no  not  so

Mount  Seir  unto  I'>au  for  a  possession."  David, 
however,  undertook,  and  with  considerable  diffi- 
culty effected,  its  conquest;  and  one  of  the  most

Edom  consistod  of  three  divisions :  1,  the  t

of  mountains  bounding  this  valley  on  t]

'Arabah,  square  in  outline  aod  much  broad 
that  on  the  east,  but  extending  only  half 
southward  ns  the  eastern  moimtains. 

The  western  chain  is  now  inhabited  by  thi 
Aznzimah  Arabe.  Some  late  travellon,  to  favooi 
their  own  particular  theories,  deny  that  th^' 
western  mountains  formed  part  at  Kdoni  till  a

RoaCAK  FlUGMBWis  F0I7XB  IX  EssEX. — It  ap- 
pears from  n  report  given  in  tbe  E^sejc  Titrtg*  of 
the  12th  ulL,  that  a  very  interesting  discovery 
was  made  early  in  February  last  on  Mr.  Spencer  ^ 
farm,  Theydon  Mount,  Essex,  and  which  mav  be 
deemed  worthy  of  a  niche  in  "  N.  &  Q."  While 
some  Iftbourera  were  land-draining  on  the  abora 
farm  they  came  upon  fragments  of  ancient  pot- 
tery about  IJ  feet  below  the  level  of  the  field. 
Among  them  were  two  urns,  one  of  which  con- 
tained portions  of  human  bones.  These,  when 
exposed  to  the  air,  very  soon  crumbled  to  dust. 
However,  the  urns  or  vases  were,  at  the  request 
of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries,  London,  senl  to 
Somerset  House,  and  were  exhibited  to  the  Fel- 
lows nf  that  society  at  a  meeting  on  Feb.  34. 
They  report  that  **  the  pottery  is  interesting  as 
being  Koman,  and  as  indicating  the  site  of  pro- 
bably a  Roman  cemetery."  And  it  is  considered 
likely  that  further  diggings  might  result  in  even 
mora  valuable  discoveries.  Theydon  Mount,  or 
Ad  Montcm,  bo  named  from  standing  on  the  sum- 
mit of  the  hill,  appears  to  have  been  unknown 
firior  to  the  Confesaor's  reign,  according  to  our 
ocal  historians,  as  they  are  silent  upon  that  point. 
In  tbe  record  of  DoomadAV  it  is  described  as 
being  "The  land  formerly  held  by  Oodric,  now 
by  Robert,  for  a  manor,  of  three  hides  and  eighteen 
acres." 

On  tbe  Bth  of  March,  when  an  old  house  in 
Hogshead  Lane,  Ipswich,  was  taken  down,  tbe 
skeleton  of  a  roan,  head  downwards,  was  dis-

Bower's  TIall  Estates,  Essex,  —  llie  last 
male  heir  of  this  family  died  in  1717  and  the 
baronetcy  expired.  The  estates,  formerly  the 
property  of  the  Bendysh  family,  passed  to  Mrs. 
Sarah  Pyke  (who  was  sister  to  Sir  H.  Bendish, 
the  last  baronet),  who  entailed  the  property  by 
will.  About  tbe  year  1780  it  came  under  her 
will  to  the  bands  of  Mr.  William  Bishop,  who 
added  the  name  of  Boidysb  tu  his  patronymic

There  is  great  value  in  Sla.  Aldzs  WRroHT'a 
suggestion.  The  r^lway  whistle  will  oe.rtalnIy 
prove  the  death-kncU  of  our  patois,  and  it  be- 
comes, therefore^  increosinglv  important  to  gather 
up,  while  wo  may,  the  ira^nnents  of  the  old 
speech  which  still  remain.  Of  the  value  of  such 
fmguients  to  the  philolugiat  lUuru  can  be  litUe 


doubt.    The  language  of  the  common  peopU  Ui,it 
would  be  easy  to  show,  the  true  basis  of  ihs  ciV 
tivated  lan^iagpe.     It  is  in  what  we  utm  oU 
patois  that,  ny  unwritten  Uwa  of  i»tual  dflfibp*

obliged  to  descend  to  a  lower  rank,  still  retain  ^ 
indubitable  tokens  of  their  earlier  and  better  dsri. 
It  is  surely  important  to  inquire  for  and  eataben 
these  relics  or  antiquity,  both  oa  saeh  and,  wW 
is  equally  important,  as  specimens  of  natarsl  4« 
disun>(ui&hed    from    litexary  developweot.     W» 
hare  been  culpably  remiss  in  this  matter,  and  hk**- 
therefore  utterly  lost  much  that  we  r 
preserved.    Oar  gloasaries  and  specimc 
are,  with  a  few  notable  exceptions  (Sir  Ucjrj: 
Coruewall  Lewis's  and  Mr.   Atkinson's,  for  in

a  wakeful  habit  of  obaervatioa  indispensable.  Ono 
of  my  worthiest  farmers  used  a  nouu  in  my  pre- 
sence, some  mouths  since,  the  verb  corre^ponoing 
to  which  X  had  long  had.  X  could  not  induce 
him  to  repeat  it,  though  X  tried  to  lead  up  to  it 
without  awakening  his  notice  that  X  was  word- 
hontang.  I  have  met  with  this  species  of  ahyneaa 
so  oftui  (and  in  the  folk-lore  connection  to  ao 
mariced  a  degree)  that  1  am  mire  I  do  right  In

I  beg  to  endorse  Mr.  Skeat's  hint  as  to  "  wn- 
fijittg  Mr.  IJalliwell's  cxplaoatioa^."  I  can  per- 
sonally speak  to  its  being  necessary  in  many 
instances  connected  with  the  Yorkshire  dialects. 
There  are  also  many  deficits  iu  Mr.  XIalliwoU*a 
collectioo.  Que  afternoon  in  Somersetahlre.  some 
three  years  since,  by  asking  the  names  of  objectfl 
iu  a  small  farm-house,  I  picked  up  sevtiu  dialect 
words,  three  of  which  are  not  in  Iltdliwell,  and 
one  of  which  In  particular,  from  its  ureseuting  the 
German  form  echiaf  (instead  of  Lnglish  deeo), 
seemed  to  me  of  ffreat  interest.  X  would  like  also 
to  add  further  that  whatever  aid  I  can  givo,  in 
either  of  the  ways  indicatf  d  by  Mr.  Skeat,  will 
bo  most  willingly  given,  and  X  only  hope  it  will 
be  called  for  speeduy.  No  one  knows  better  than 
myself  how  fast  the  old  words  are  receding  and 
disappearing,  not  only  out  of  use,  but  out  of  re- 
collection. J,  C.  AlKINSQX,

They  who  would  preserve  the  provincial  words 
still  to  be  heard  must  lose  no  time,  for  railroads 
and  education  will  soon  cause  their  entire  extinc- 
tion. Even  now  they  are  not  so  easy  to  come  at 
as  might  bo  thought  by  those  who  have  never 
tried.     It  is  not  in  the  conversation  held  between 

I  a  poor  man  and  a  lady  or  gendumon  that  many 
will  be  found.     Even  now,  except  in  ver)'  remote 

I  places,  the  working  man  con  talk  to  the  "  (quality" 
m  very  ordinary  language.  lie  who  wishes  to 
pick  up  provincial  words  and  eiprcssiMis  must 
listen  to  the  workpeople  a*  ?A*t/  talk  to  one  another — 
to  the  "chaff"  which  goes  on  in  the  workshop, 
in  the  harvest-field,  at  the  waehtub.  I  believe 
that  only  those  who  have  good  onportunitiee  of 
hearing  workpeople  talking  freely  sud  unre- 
stralneoly  iatnong  themselves  will  gather  many 
flowers  of  rich  provincialism.  To  any  one  wish-

(4«'  S.  V.  278.) 

Soma  years  since  I  obserrod  the  arms  of  Walter, 
82.  ft  foRse  dsncGtt^  between  three  eagles,  dis- 
plnyed  ou  the  front  of  an  almshouse  at  Sarsden. 
Can  any  correspondent  living  oear  supply  the  in- 
scription and  date  underneath  the  arms,  as  an 
addition  to  the  extracts  given  in  "N.  &  Q./' 
which  would  perhaps  decide  whether  "Sir  John 
Walter,  who  gave  tiftie  pounds  a-yeare  more  to 
mend  the  parsonage  of  Sarsden/'  was  also  the 
founder  of  this  almshouse  or  school  to  which  I 
allude,  or  his  son  William,  created  a  baronet  in 
1641  ?  E.  W. 

There  is  a  curinus  remark  in  the  extract  from 
the  MS.  sermon  referred  to,  which  is  as  follows ; 
"  Let  the  Thames  flow  into  Westminster  Hall  fts 
it  did  about  a  yeaio  since,  it  shall  never  wett  his 
foete." 

Sir  John  Walter  died  in  1630,  which  therefore 
fixes  the  date  referred  to;  but  to  what  does  the 
jkreacber  allude  P  It  was  common  enough  at  that 
time,  and  I  believe  within  the  memory  of  man, 
for  the  Thames  to  flow  into  Westminster  Hall.

From  the  context  it  appears  that  Pudsay  aaw

"  Betwixt  the  gloaming  and  the  day. 
And  by  his  art  ho  made  ihcni  stay.** 

I  am  unablti  to  SAy  whether  there  is  any  such 
superstition  in  Yorkshire,  but  in  Lancashire  it  is 
believed  that  a  child  born  at  twilight  or  gloam- 
ing, or,  as  the  natives  poetically  term  it,  **th' 
edge  0*  dark,"  can  nee  spirit?. 

As  to  '*  Jenny  Greenteeth,*'  permit  roe  to  offer 
an  objection  to  the  theory  propounded  by  yonr 
correspondent  W.  Datje8.  I  liardly  need  say 
that  ine  water  spirits  of  the  Gothic  mythologr, 
although  in  other  respects  endowed  with"  marvel- 
lous and  seductive  beauty,  hadyrww  teeih.  Sweet, 
howeTer,  as  was  their  Siren  soug-  to  hL*ar,  it  was 
death,  and  a  "  wandering  grave  "  was  the  lot  of 
all  enchanted  mortals  who  drew  near  to  the  brink 
of  the  water  in  which  tlie  spirit  made  her  home. 
It  18  comparntivoly  caiy  t.>  trace  the  superstition 
from  its  Scandinavian  disciploa  to  the  early  in- 
habitants of  Lancashire.  I  can  remember,  too, 
that  not  only  the  ]>onds,  but  also  the  river,  the 
TtfliNaniia  of  the  Humans,  near  to  which  I  lived 
during  childhood  and  youth,  had  its  "Jenny 
Greenteeth,"  and  certainly  tho  Kibble  is  not  noted 
for  '*  duckweed."  No  doubt  the  Danes  peopled 
the  Lancashire  atreama  and  meres  with  Nixen, 
whoae  delight  it  was  to  draw  children  under  the 
water.  In  Germany  and  Denmark,  at  the  present 
day,  it  is,  if  I  err  not,  believed  that  the  Nixen 
are  seen  dancing  on  the  water  before  a  child  is 
drowned.  James  L.owker.

TAXnaa  Birwo  (4'"  S.  v,  273.)— In  the  Weat 
of  Enjflnnd  it  waa  in  my  childhood,  and  probably 
ia  still,  a  saying,  when  the  sun  shtnos,  and  it 
nuns  at  the  sftine  time,  not  as  in  Scotland,  thot 
the  "  Fairies  arc  baking,"  but  that  the  *'  Cuckolds 
aro  going  to  heaven."  I  know  no  other  way  to 
account  for  a  saying  so  remarkable  than  by  sup- 
poeing  it  to  mcau  that  tho  one  event  is  as  little  to 
tw  ezpectwl  as  the  other.  F.  C.  H. 

CocRT  OK  3Xanoe  Houmb  (4'*  S.  iv,  176.) — 
There  is  no  real  difference  in  the  words  named 
by  G.  W.  M.  Of  course  the  name  "  manor-house*' 
jieceasarily  implies  the  liberty  of  holding  a  court 
there,  supposing  the  name  is  ancient,  while  tho 
wordfl  *'  court "  and  "  h&U"  are  idmply  synonymous. 
The  onlv  distinction  between  the  name  *'  hall," 
"  house, '  and  "  court "  lies  in  tho  popular  fancy. 
In  many  places  an  obscure  tumble-down  farui- 
hou;M  is  graced  with  the  name  of  "court,"  although 
perhaps  tho  resident  may  be  a  bailiti'of  a  Uirtfu 
umdowner,  yet  il  was  once  the  manor-bouse.  In 
Kent  at  lea^t  nineteen-twentiethsof  manor-houses 
Are  called  courts.  I  cannot  discover  one  excep* 
tion  to  this  witlun  a  radius  of  six  mllea  around 
Faversham.  I  know  some  people  talk  of  Daviug- 
ton  Hall,  but  this  is  wrong.  The  abbot  waa  lord 
of  the  manor  of  Faversh'im.  The  ancient  court 
atreet  leads  straight  to  the  abbot's  court,  or  rather 
to  the  spot  on  which  it  stood.  The  following  is  a 
list  of  namt^s  to  which  Court  is  uthxed  near  Fa* 
veKihara.  although  it  is  not  complete : — Dodles- 
nicre,  Daviugton,  Graveney,  Lees,  Luddenham, 
Noah,  Norton,  Perry,  Queen. 

In  the  particular  cases  cited  by  G.  W.  ]\L.  a 
stranger  to  the  locality  cannot  throw  much  ligtit. 
Tbe  question  lies  in  a  nutshell — courts  manor 
were  or  wore  not  held  at  the  plikces  named.

a  point  of  the  BU(^hUist  moment,  and  I  ouly  men-

that  there  was  "juat  published,  a  Uiero^lyplii-

The  ToUowing  details  oi  tho  infant  prodigy's 
financial  success  in  Biriuiughum  are  nut  uireu  by 
Btsset,  and  may  be  thought  interesting.  With  the 
elder  Macready,  thfu  manager  of  the  Birming- 
ham theatre,  he  made  the  following  terms.  He 
was  to  play  for  six  nights,  and  -wm  to  receive 
half  of  the  receipts  of  each  night  after  the  deduc- 
tion of  60/.for  expenses ;  the  receipts  of  the  cevpnth 
night  were  to  belong  to  tho  manager;  while  tbe 
eighth  was  for  his  own  benefit,  after  the  deduc- 
tion of  40/.  for  expynces.  On  the  expiration  of 
these  eight  nights,  tho  engagement  was  renewed 
on  terms  substantially  the  same.  The  following 
were  the  nightly  receipts :  —

conceiving  it  to  bn  a  Cheahire  cheese.     In  Iwii

M.  Lloyd, 

KoMR  ysn  Lopw  XH'.  f4**  S.  v.  270.)  — The 
pasAAge  quoted  from  .Mnsaillon  has  allusion  to  a 
well-known  incident,  which  furnishes  a  curious 
comment  on  those  pretemiicjnfl  to  papal  infallibi- 
lity which  arc  to  bt>  discussed  at  the  council  now 
silting  at  Rome.  In  tho  year  l'JO'2,  when  Alex- 
ander VII.  was  pope,  and  the  Duke  de  Crt^ui 
French  ambassador  at  Kome,  some  of  the  duke's 
domestics  sttncked  the  Corsican  guard  of  the  pope. 
The  Corsicana  were  not  the  men  to  put  up  with 
an  insult.  Spurred  on  by  their  insular  thirst  for 
the  vendetta,  they  attacked  the  palnre  of  the 
ambassador,  killed  some  of  the  duke's  8en*ant8. 
and  even  tired  at  the  duke  hiniBelf.  The  carriage 
nf  the  duchess  was  nttack»»d,  and  the  ambaa- 
sadT<^s8  (I  believe)  alarmed  but  not  injured. 

The  French  had  doubtless  been  the  original 
atrgressors :  but  Louis  f the  most  arrogant  of 
princes)  demanded  an  exemplnry  atonement  from 
tho  pope.  Alexander  wished  to  negotiate  and 
delay;  snd  Iiouis,  by  wuv  of  putting  on  the  screw, 
seized  upon  Avignon — a  mo(ie  of  arguing  which 
at  nncc  Drought  the  pope  upon  his  knees.  The 
Hidy  Father,  despatched  hia  nephew,  ttte  Cardinal 
Chigi,  to  bE*g  uardon  of  his  lni])erioua  "  son  "  ;  and 
the  king  condescended  to  accept  the  humiliation 
of  the  ''npostle  "  on  the  tenna  that  the  Coraican 
guard  should  be  dismissed,  and  a  pyramid  erected 
in  the  Eternal  City,  with  an  inscription  recordinc 
the  oS'ence  committed  and  the  satisfnction  granted. 

The  pyramid  was  duly  erected,  but  in  1GG7,  with 
the  consent  of  Louis,  this  monument,  W)  odious  to 
papal  pride,  w.is  s^i^aiu  pulled  down. 

That  Mas^illui  Filiould  have  cited  this  instance 
of  a  pope  placed  on  the  stool  of  repentance  is  ft 
proof  how  much  the  spirit  of  a  Frenchman 
overpowered,  in  this  eminent  preacher,  the  feeling 
of  a  Catholic 

As  to  tho  swaggering  reference  to  the  bounty  of 
Charlemagno,  wo  may  obaervo  that  the  ingrati- 
tude of  the  popoa  had  been  long  before  displayed 
to  the  descendants  of  that  emperor.  The  "  apos- 
tles" of  Rome  were  rarely  very  grateful,  and 
would  scarcely  have  acknowledged  that  the  house 
of  Capet  had  any  share  in  the  merits  of  Charle- 
magne. Herrt  Cbobblkt. 

The  allusion  is  to  the  ruptare  between  Louis 
XIV.  and  Pope  Alexander  VW.  in  consequence  of 
a  riotous  quarrel  which  occurred  in  Rome  in  16G2. 
Certain  soldiers  in  tho  papal  corps  of  Corsicana 
insulted  some  members  ol  tlie  suite  of  tbe  French 


ambflBBador,  and  |voce^od  to  furtfaor  ciulra^r^aus 
acta  of  Tiol'^DOi^  Hf^nst  the  lunbtowlor  himself 
and  hut  wife,  IdUing  «  p(H|^  in  atteodaaco  on  the 
Utt«r.  Iviui»  resented  this  vigoroujlr  and  rt^or- 
ooalj ;  %nd  oompeUed  the  pope  to  a  humiliating: 
ftobtui^ion  in  1604,  including  the  erection  of  ft 
pyramidnl  monumont  sotting  forth  the  misdeeds 
and  proscription  of  the  Goroicans^  for  their  cora- 
patrioti  were  declorod  for  ever  incapablo  of 
mtUtnry  serrice  in  Rome.  It  must  be  curious  for 
the  KruTicli  soldiers  now  garrisonioff  Rome  to  con 
the  vroMa  of  this  monument  (if  still  unerased^  fw 
to  which  I  am  not  certain),  and  to  retlect  that 
they  thenoselves  are  French  subjects  sot  by  a 
Oorsican,  or  qnasi-Corsican,  now  on  the  Frnnch 
throne,  to  exGL-ute  a  service  which  a  French  king 
of  yore  prohibited  to  nil  Corsicaiis.  Thus  does 
the  whirligig  of  timo  bring  in  ifs  revenges.

was  D  daughter  of  Captain  Cook's  bnUher,  and

"A  Pot  of  BriiTox"  (4<^  S.  v.  270.)— Some 
fifty  years  ago,  when  I  was  a  youngeter  in  Bristol, 
I  often  nsed  to  be  sent  ont  for  the  family  dinner 
beer.  Ordinarily  it  was  "  fourpenny  «/e  " ;  on  high 
days  and  holidays  it  was  *'  sixpenny  Ixrr,"  and  on 
occasions  less  specifll  it  was  'Mivepenny  Burfon." 
The  latter,  I  remember,  was  alwnya  drawn  out  of 
two  separate  taps,  and  therefore  I  suppose  was  an 
admixture  of  the  nther  two — a  sort  nf  **  half-and- 
half,"  tliough  why  colled  "  Barton  "  I  cannot  say.

Miss  Rambhottom  st^itcs  thnt,  having  taken 
lodginffs  on  Dunlham  Down  (Bristol),  ht*r  ^Ma 
was  asked  at  dinnej  time  whether  she  would  have 


lark,  which  they  did  on  the  spur  of  |  a  pot  of  Burton."     She  describes   the  Burton  aa 


Hnghcs's  barouche,  with  four  fine 
nng  in  the  snaco  of  an  hour  on  tbe 
.  That  was  long  before  the  invention 
bad  made  travelling  "  quick  and  cosy.** 
rfetM  of  bis  life  "  ihe  golden  Ball," 
iiahed  in  size,  still  occupied  a  band- 


an  uninviting  washy  beer,  and  aska  the  origin  of 
**  a  pot  of  &jrton."  Allow  me  to  take  a  slight 
exception  to  tbe  word  ''pot"  I  waa  bom  in 
Clifton  and  livpd  for  many  years  upon  the  Dowas, 
and  I  think  I  may  venture  to  say  uat  in  no  house 
on  the  Downs  wonld  the  term  *''a  pot  of  Burton  " 


be  used.     A  pot  is  pecnliftr  to  T^ondon  and,  I  bo- 
lieve,  iho  North.     In  Bristol  the  tiniveraal  derig-  j 
nation  ia  "A  can,"  and,  in  domoatic  circles,  a  "  j  up,"  I 
as  A  pint  or  quart  of  any  liquid. 

Some  thirty  years  ago,  wbeii  beer  was  beer  and 
not  molaasea,  Ac,  there  were  two  or  three  houses 
in  Itristol  (one  ueor  PriaceA  Street,  one  in  the  ' 
nei|j:hbourhood  of  Wine  Street,  and  another  near 
Stokes  Croft)  celebrated  for  the  Burton  mixture, 
the  charm  of  which  consisted  in  a  marriage  or 
blending  of  twj  beers  (a  mild  and  a  stronger) 
vhen  drawn.  It  really  was  half-and-half — ale 
Aitd  beer,  not  atniit^and  was  a  sort  of  moroinp  or 
hot-wcatner  drinU  when  XXX  wan  not  de«r«d. 
Afterwards  a  Burtou  was  brewed  of  this  medium 
qunlitv,  but  there  wue  an  absence  of  "something:" 
in  the  new  production  which  the  "  mAzriage  "  from 
the  two  taps  produced,  and  the  true  palate  for 
Burton  was  not  satisfied  with  it. 

With  the  beers  as  tiow  brewed  it  b  impossible 
to  make  nnytliing  approachinf^  the  real  Bristol 
Burton,  but  had  your  fair  correspondent  drunk  it 
as  I  dmnk  it  when  a  youth  she  would  not  have 
complained  of  its  wasfaiDesa.  The  Burlon-on- 
Trent  and  bitter  ales  of  lo-day  grew  out  of  the 
Burton  mixture.  AxmioNOPOLT.

of  Biahop  Percy's  Baiiads  and  Songs  fully  con- 
firms his  surmise.  In  the  verbrttim  copy  of  this

Bbza's  New  Testament  (4**  S.  t.  28,  157, 
S50.)— As  Mr.  Tew  is  '*  thoroughly  convinced 
that  the  preponderance  of  evidence.  .  .  .  is  so 
imraoasurably  in  favour  of  St.  Paul  as  author  of 
the  Epistle ''to  the  Hebrews,  and  as  most  readers 
would,  1  venture  to  believe,  be  of  the  same 
opinion,  tnny  we  not  be  spared  a  flood  of  Dean 
Alford's  proiegomens  to  that  Epistle  ?  The  good 
Dean  has  come  to  the  conclusion  thnt  ApoUoa

John  Lkslib,  Bishop  op  Ross  (4^  S.  v.  174, 
266.)— I  think  Mtt.  Kino  has  erred  in  the  restor- 
ation of  this  inscription,  in  consequence  of  not 
having  noticed  that  the  first  six  lines  are  written 
in  heiametera  and  pentameters.  The  seventh 
and  dghth  lines  are  quoted  from  Proverbs,  the 
only  variation  from  the  Clementine  Vulgate  being 
"m  pAoem*'  instead  of  "ad  pacem."  We  are 
only  ouocerued  with  the  first  six  Unea,  and  the 


version  I  oQer  to  "  N.  &  Q."  is  f  •  i  tk 

hypotbeaia  stated  above,  and  upon  *  Uut 

some  contractions  have  been  used  in  the  tnteriv* 
tion.  P  for  pro  is  very  common  in  Latin  MSK, 
and  pus  for  prius  occurs  frequently. 

I  have  endeavoured  to  keep  as  closely  m  pc*- 
sible  to  the  imperfect  transcript  of  the  li«ttms 
and  any  harshness  in  the  construction  mu^t  W 
attributed  to  the  exigency  of  the  cottditiaei 
imposed.

Uourn,  which  belonged  to  Qut-cn  (/atberinr  of  Mcdicis^ 
is  reported.  The  words  in  the  duke's  hondwrilint;  are 
"  All  {»■  arranged  for  the  24''',"  and  are  supposed  to  hava 
reference  to  the  'i4th  of  August,  \hTi,  the  eve  of  St.  Har- 
tbolomeu's  fe*tival.  The  sij^iuturr  attarlie d  i*  "  Le  il.," 
which  is  explained  as  "  Lo  Balafre,"  under  which  name 
Henry  of  Lorraine  was  known  ou  account  of  the  sear 
npon  his  facn.  Some  doubt  however,  na  to  the  whole 
alfoir,  is  entertained  by  the  Ftdl  MuU  Gattttr,  which 
says :  "  Autogrnph-coltectors  in  Paria  have  recvntly 
shown  themselves  so  easily  hoaxed  that  we  .iboald  not  be 
siirpriMsl  to  learn  that  this  was  only  another  instanoc  of 
successful  forgery.  No  evidence  is  adduced  to  prove  that 
Henry  of  Guise  ever  adopted  the  nickname  for  his  aignn- 
ture.'and  the  sensational  cboructcr  of  the  bint  savouia 
rather  of  the  modern  atoge  than  of  real  life  in  the  abc- 
tecuih  century." 

Thr  ^ibinffdan  Herald  lately  reported  the  discovery  of 
a  niaKNivo  slune  Karcophaj^uB  m  the  grounds  of  Mr.  h.  J. 
Trvndell  of  the  Abbey  House,  Abingdon.  It  is  seven  feet 
long,  fifteen  incbea  oeep,  and  two  inehoe  and  a  half  Uiiok, 
And  i-4  supposed  to  have  contained  the  remains  of  CiBN^ 
Kinif  of  Wessex,  father  to  King  Iim,  and  rvputcd  founder 
of  Al'ingdon.  On  the  lid  of  the  coffin  is  an  elaborately

so  iiimt  the  Ii\iidlord  too.  f'nnDot  some  one  rescue  their 
names  from  an  obUnon  thej*  do  not  dewrrc?  " 

In  respect  to  this  nnecdote,  I  woa  donroufl  to 
discover,  if  possible,  independent  evidence  to  cor- 
roborate it,  nnd  for  this  purpose  I  coniinuiucnted 
with  R[r.  Jnmes  Scott,  the  iutellipent  parish 
8choolma8l«rof  Tluthwell,  where  Brow  isDituftted,. 
a  flmall  walennjr-jilace  about  ei|rht  miles  from 
Iliitufries,  not  fnr  from  the  shores  of  the  Solway. 
There  is  a  mineral  well,  L>halTbeat«,  of  no  great 
strength,  but  to  which  the  invalids  of  Diimfriesj 
and  its  nei^hbourhooU  resort  in  search  uf  health. 
Mr.  Scott  writes  to  me  thus :  — 

"The  landlord  at  thf  Inn  nt  riarcnccfleld,  at  Ihti  lin)e 
of  Bums's  sfijouni  at  Brow,  was  Mr.  John  Hirrnl'.'.  He 
sppi'ars  to  have  been  a  man  of  ronMd*T«l»I«^  int**IHsreni'^ 
ond  Nomu  of  his  deeds  of  kindne«shav'  'ricd  to 

me  bv  M)mo  of  the  old  inhabitants  m  ]<(  aiid^ 

alTectionato  remembrance.     He  wast!.:.  i   coma' 

to  the  palish,  but  1  lived  for  two  or  three  years  uearesi:] 
nuiKtibour  to  his  widow,  who  diM  in  184A,  nearly  eighty 
vcjirsof  flRe,     She  r-  '  i  i  me  ncvoral  anecdotes  of ' 

))nmB;  the  ptori' oi  Ui^  botilo  of  wine,  as  r»-| 

ported   in   ihw   Dvmf  inrri,   in   literally  correct. 

When  she  told  me  this  1  a»ked  wbiit  kind  uf  a  fL>al  it  was, 
when  »he  rrtpHed,  "a  gold  eeal  with  a  stone,  on  which 
wafl  on|;rnvpd  a  man  crouching  behind  a  bush,  with  the 
motto  *  B«tti>r  a  wee  bunh  than  noe  bield.' 

"As  anything  n'spectiug  Brow  in  i7M  may  be  inter- 
esting to  you,  I  may  .^tate  that  it  lay  on  tfa«  Kreat  drove 
road  between  Dumfries  and  CorlislL*,  was  a  clochan  con- 
taining ei^ht  nr  ten  femiUcs  and  a  pnhIic-liou<e..  the 
chambvr  end  of  which  wua  occupied  by  the  f»oet.  As  it 
wa«.  A  convenient  resting-place  betwe*^n  l>uinfries  and 
Annan,  the  inn  was  largely  pnlroniHd  by  druvem  as  well 
as  bv  befllth-i*cker«  like  the  poet. 

"hut  before  the  year  indicated  above,  the  new   road 
leading  through  the  village  of  Clareucefiirld  had   been] 
made  ;  this  Ird  the  tralBc  away  from  llrow.     "Wlien  the' 
new  road  by  Clnrenci-flcld  wa>>  Mpi*ned.  a  rt'Hting-plnrf  for*] 
the  wttyfarot  wu*  required  at  Clarencefield,  It  lieing  nboal 
e«ioidi9tant  from  [lunifrics  and  Annon.    The  Mr.  John] 
Ilnmie  indicated  was  at  this  time  tenant  of  Clorenc 
fluid  farm;  he  married  tbo  daughter  of  the  landlord  «1 
Brow,  MUs  Daviilsrn,  and  thew  were  the  worthy  ronpic 
who  siii)plied  our  poet  with   wine.     The  writer   In  tho 
Standard  makes  a  mislaicc  when  be  talks  of  Uii;  nnall  inn . 
1  am  informe<l  that  while  it  was  .conducted  br  Mrs 


Is  AND  (iUEBlES.

Ula»gow  ami  CarlwU',  You  ore  not,  however,  to  «upj>o« 
that  it  wu  the  hr^nfe  now  occapiisl  v  an  inn^  but  the 
two-»tory  fanti-hpu«e  ti*  I'ne  unrtli  of  it. 

"  Mra.  Bumle  did  not  toll  me  that  *he  9laiiip«l  with

I  find  on  further  inquiry  thftt  while  thtj  poet 
resided  at  Brow  lie  had  to  go  to  Clftreucefield  Inn 
for  port  wiiuj,  aa  in  the  pubUc-hoiiso  at  Brow 
there  was  sold  only  "  British  spirita,  porter,  and 
l^e."  This  house,  whero  the  pwt  apt'nt  a.  few  of 
the  Ufit  8ad  daya  of  bi^  life,  waa  rased  to  tlie 
ground  About  twenty  jeard  ago,  and  the  tree 
undor  the  Hbadc  of  which  it  stood  waa  uprovted 
Ht  the  same  time. 

Aj8  to  the  len^h  of  time  that  the  poet  was  nt 
Brow,  a  friend  ha.s  drawn  niy  atl(?ntion  to  a  di.''- 
crepancy  between  tho  account  given  by  Dr. 
Cbambers  and  tho  memoranda  on  the  pamt  by 
Mrs.  Bum»  as  they  appear  in  tho  Lift-  by  Mr. 
WaddelU  ^frs.  Bum.s  says  in  these  memoranda 
that  her  husband  was  only  about  a  week  at  Brow, 
while  in  referring  to  hia  own  letters  dated  fr<»m 
Brow,  it  will  be  seen  that  he  weut  ou  July  4,

But  11  few  Bentencw,  to  say  who  the  person  here 
referred  to  nctually  was,  mav  not  be  out  of  place. 
Andrew  Cant  wa»  a  rifrid  Covenantinfr  minister 
dnriog  tbu  reign«  of  Chiirlefi  L  and  Charled  II. 
Ue  had  htfen  bom  about  the  end  of  the  &ixte«nt}| 
century,  and  appt^iirs  to  have  been  a  niitivo  of 
Eii*i  Lothian.  He  was  chnsen  one  of  the  minis- 
ters of  Kdinburgh  in  M\QO:  hut  Kpi.-^ropacv  being 
then  in  the  ascendant,  the  hln^  end  oicihop  re- 
fused to  sttncUou  the  appointment.  Eighteen 
v*/tir4  thereafter  he  was  appoint^jd  minister  of 
riteligo,  iu  the  north-eaiit*?rn  part  of  AbordeWl- 
eliire ;  and  In  July  of  tbatyear  was  sent  as  one 
of  the  cctmmLisiouers  for  the  Covenant  to  Aher- 
deen.  He  was  a  man  of  a  fiery  and  vehement 
temperament,  and  posses^d  a  courage  tbat  nothing 
could  daunt.  Hia  xeal  earned  for  him  the  title 
of  "Tho  Apostle  of  the  Covenant":  and  when 
he  preached  before  Charles  I.,  on  the  occasion  of 
his  visiting  Edinburgh,  he  did  not  he»tate,  fts 
we  learn  from  Bailie *s  Ltiterx,  to  *' uress "  the 
ultimate  measure — "the  extirpation  or  Prelacy." 
In  1(W1  he  was  chosen  one  of  tlio  ministers  of 
Aberdeen,  and  local  records  supply  abundant 
illu>»trations  of  Cnnt's  temper  and  actings.

'•  treat  of  wine  "  otferod  them  by  the  *'  Provoat 
and  liaiUiea"  on  their  arrival — au  insult  _*' the 
like  whereof  waa  lujver  done  to  Aberdeen  In  no

The  case  of  F.  R.  8.  so  much  resembles  nam- 
berloofl  others  in  church  restoration,  undertaksa 
by  silly  or  ignorant  people,  that  it  will  not  com- 
mand the  flvmpathy  which  it  deserve*.  I  believe 
there  .ire  mnny  instances  where  the  monimients, 
instead  of  being  replaced  after  the- operations  are 
completed,  R»  common  j  ustice  to  those  who  h  nd  paid 
for  them  would  sup;(;(r«t,  ar**cut  to  piece*  or  niirti- 
tateil  as  at  Portsmouth,  and  nothing  retained  but 
the  tiat  slabs  in  the  niidiUp,  nnd  theao  arslet  ifi 
flush   with   the   wall.      There   are   two  rwODs

rt?- 


the  pariah  church  of  Sidmouth  was  rebuilt.  When 
the  pulling  down  of  the  cbarch  wwi  about  to  be 
ent4^red  upon,  a  tradesmaa  in  the  town  contracted 
to  tnke  down  all  the  monuments  from  the  walls, 
told  when  the  new  church  should  be  finUh«i  to 
.ttfix  ihnm  carefally,  and  as  nearly  as  the  altered 
|fipcrtmstance.*  would  permit,  in  places  corrertpnnd- 
»in(jr  tn  where  th^v  were  before.  One  dar,durin<f 
lihe  lonir  interval  of  several   months   that  they 

ly  packed  away  in  a  warcroom,  he  came  to  me 
i  «aid  rather  cautiously  that  the  architect  had 
)poBed,  aa  be  under9toi>d,  to  have  all  the  monu- 

i«nt«  cut  up,  and  nothinjr  Tc-admitled  into  Iho 

lurch  but  the  wiuare  ^lnbs  in  the  middle,  on 

fhith  are  placed  the  in^^LTiptionfl.  Aa  a  member 
ftf  the  committee,  h*  a^kcd  me  if  such  a  proce- 
[Ihiro  could  r^'ally  be  intended''     The  monmnonta 

rere  then  in  hia  eufltody ;  he  should  feel  very 
[Unpleasantly  ntuated  if  any  order  to  mutilate 

lem  in  that  way  were  given  to  him.  for  he  had 
V'  4  repufrnance  at  the  very  idea  of  it.     I 

r  L  the  subject   was  quite  new  to  me, 

tbflt  u  imd  never  yet  been  brought  forward  nt  a 
committee  meeting,  and  that  I  could  not  ima^ne 
any  pentliim^n,  who  were  merely  acting fli*  trustee* 
for  a  flhort  timf,  would  tjike  Buoh  unwarrantable 
liberties  with  what  I  considered  to  be  other  peo- 
ple's pronirtjfr  The  case,  however, came  forward 
ftftt-rw-Rrfis,  but  I  set  my  face  ng^inst  it  steadily 
tl  L     It  waB  not  that   I    thought    the 

lit      I  •-  (fither  beautiful  or  valuable;  indeed, 

with  the  exception  of  atwmt  three,  they  are  ugly 
and  in  bad  taste.  But  1  remembered  that  th'.>y 
had  been  bought  and  paid  for  by  people  who 
relied  on  the  sacredneM  of  the  place  for  their 
safety,  and  I  felt  that  ha  honest  men  wo  hod  no 
ripht  to  inj\irc  what  did  not  belong  to  ns.  A»  a 
aMeld  the  mnc  was  ordered  to  write  to  or  inquire 
of  the  suTvivore  their  pertniaBion  to  have  tnem 
cut;  bnt  this  order  was  a  mere  faroe,  for  owing 
to  deatiis  and  removals  he  knew  not  where  or  how 
to  Hpply. 

It  IS  not  pleasant  now  to  look  bnck  and  recall 
to  mind  how  much  contnmely,  Might,  and  abupe 
I  bad  henped  upon  me  by  the  other  members  of 
the  committee,  and  their  supporters,  for  peraistiog 
in  what  I  thought,  and  still  think,  merely  an  act 
of  common  hoiieety.  I  can  safely  eay  that  I,  j 
alone  and  individually,  was  the  means  of  eavinf^  ) 
all  the  monunient>i  friim  bfinj?  cut  to  pieces,  and  ' 
they  are  now  replaced  in  the  chnrch  in  the  same 
state  as  they  wore  before.  But  F.  R.  S.  inquires 
whether  there  is  not  a  legal  remedy  a^ainnt  such 
praeeedingnP  After  the  deed  is  done  I  think

of  this  see  the  record^  reftTred  to  iu  Burtons

to  refer  to  the  {mpeflchmont  of  the  Earl  of  Mac- 
cloaficld  U7i!6),  fit  which  a  question  w,^8  raised 
concerning  it.  The  CommoM  charged  that  the 
Karl  took  the  oath  of  Lord  Chancellor,  and 
"such  other  oaths  aa  havo  been  arcu«tomt'd.*' 

In  his  answer]he  admits  having:  taken  (and  seta 
forth)  the  oath  of  Lord  Chancellor,  "  but  no  other 
oath  of  ofKce  Iw^ajden  that  above  aet  forth."

I  flhall  orcupy  but  a  short  space  with  my  remarka 
on  these  cases.  If  the  House  of  Hepresentatiyea 
have  vxjied  a  pension  to  ]Mr.  John  Fits  on  the 
prroirad  that  he  was  born  in  1762,  I  think,  in  the 
absence  of  very  clear  and  indisputable  evidence  of 
his  ngOf  that  gcuLloinau  U  rather  to  be  congra- 
tulated on  Ilia  (rood  fortime  than  the  nonae  on 
their  wisdom. 

With  r»»frflrd  to  Mr.  Lahrhnah,  having  in  7^ 
Stanrlnnl  of  the  2nd  and  1 1  tit  inst.  given  my  reasons 
at  considerable  length  for  discredilintf  the  fact 
that  ho  is  in  bis  105th  year,  I  content  myaclf 
with  referring  any  readers  interefded  in  the  sub- 
jpct  to  thnt  journal,  and  merely  state  here  that 
the  first  independent  proof  of  Mr.  Lahrbuah's 
existence  is  his  N-'ing  ^zetted  to  an  ensigncy  in 
the 60th  Regiment  on  Nov  18,  180^.  He  got  hie 
lieutenancy  on  Oct.  20,  1810,  and  was  removed 
from  the  service  in  I^IR  for  whnt  in  IMti  ho 
pleaded  to  be  "jot^thfal  errora" — a  atran^tt  ^Vta.

CoLWORT  (4*"  S,  T.  315.)— A  uiuae  very  like 
this  is  Koiercrettd,  which  occars  in  an  old  German 
book  of  medical  botany  for  the  Veronica,  or  Speed- 
well; also  called  in  Oerman  EhraipretHtj  which 
the  book  says  was  bestowed  ou  this  plant  by  a 
King  of  France  for  its  wonderful  Tirtues.  But  I 
fear  this  little  plant  could  hardly  furnish  *Mon^ 
stalks "  for  the  sheplierds  and  maids  on  AUhal- 
lows  Eve.  There  can,  I  think,  be  no  doubt  that 
the  stalks  of  colicvrt  mean  kail  or  cabbage  stalks  j 
and  that  the  superstition  on  Allhallowa  Kve  is 
the  nuno  still  prevAiUng  in  Scotland,  and  so 
grnphioally  dosenbed  by  Bums  in  his  Hniknt*fen.

Hefemencb  wijJTEU:  St.  Jkhomb  (4*  S.  v. 
31ft.) — The  inqnirer*8  object  appears  to  be  to 
obtain  from  St.  Jerome  evidence  of  early  horo- 
logy. I  fear  he  will  not  be  successful,  nor  wau 
Rucoeas  to  be  expected.  1'he  passage  which  ho 
quotes  from  Tke  True  Catholic  of  March  L,  1870, 
is  as  followB  t  — 

"  Ti  was  S(.  Joroiuc**  reproach  u>  the  Pthigliins  that, 
sctording  to  tlieir  theory,  God  had,  as  It  were,  wound  up 
«  watch  ancv  Twr  All  n*td  then  gone  u>  $l€ep,  because  there 
yras  ut^thiu^  more  for  him  to  do." 

St  Jerome  wrote  aguinst  the  Pelagians  his 
"Fpiatlo  toCtmphon,*'  and  afterwards  three  lonj; 
"  niolojfues"  against  them,  between  .'Mticus  and 
Critobiilus  :  the  firet  representing  a  Catholic,  and 
the  secund  a  Felagrian.  Jn  these,  if  auywiiere. 
cue  mi^ht  expect  to  tijtd  the  passage  inquired  for, 
but  it  does  not  occotr  in  any  part  of  them.  There 
ar©  expresMons,  howeTer,  wiiich  T  BU>meot  have 
been  acrommodated  to  the  sense  intended  in  the 
foregoing  quotation.  Thus  SL  Jerome  puti  the

'IC  SCOTISa  BALLADS. 

to  tie  fourth  edition  (18(10)  of  Lis 
of  Scoiland  (p.  390),  Dr.  Chwn- 
a  coDnderable  change  in  hu  opinion 
and  authonbip  of  this  cIam  of 
[6  aayfl : — 
ooir  fcnalUa  of  having  praned  tbe  clainia  of 
rdlaw  too  axcluirelv  ;  it  i;i  more  prohahtc  tlmt 
rsuns  «vre  eof^aced  in  tbi^  ta-tk  tliruuKlx'ul  tlie 
ocDtury,  tbouKD  it  U  difficult  ii>  uiaKt>  euro  at 
nticttlar^roup  attributable  to  each  person." 

ijais  ttnotlier  (juestion,  or  wther  another  form 
Bbune  question,  which  9eem&  to  me  niucb 
BlatUy  true  tlian  «von  tho  firflt.  If  tbe 
h  argument  \mM  any  cogeacr  at  all,  it  is 
T^;t  thn  opioioD  that  these  ballads  were  one 
'40  bj  a  sittffle  lady — Lady  Wardlaw. 
..  ■  rA  now  confeasei  tfaia  position  unten- 
Ibd  would  aftidgn  tb&ir  authorship  to  several 
B  throughout  the  bt.<vt  century.  To  nn  un* 
Hfeed  obMrrer  it  scoma  sufficiently  ridiculous 
^bat  a  whole  group  (twenty  or  thirty  in 
V)  of  such  ballads  could  be  writtco  by  one 
wiLhoot  the  laowledge  of  bur  moat  intimate 
Is,  but  tbe  absurdity  is  iutoterable  if  you 
M*  tho  same  thing  possible  to  a  number  of 
a#.  Wbou  Br.  Obamhers  has  soWed  his  new 
ilty  of  breakiDj^  up  Uie  close  unit^  and  simi- 
'  thought  and  expression  which  he  for- 
»and  in  the  whole  group,  into   several 


HmalLex  unititNs  there  is  a  still  greater  task  ahead— 
where  to  find  the  authors  to  whom  these  are  to 
be  assigned  ?  For  we  cHunot  allow,  as  Dr.  Cham- ' 
hers  would  no  doubt  have  us  buliove  now,  that 
these  ballads  were  written  either  by  those  indivi- 
duals who  communicated  them  or  their  friondi. 
Anything  vo  possess  like  evidence  goes  tu  prove 
that  theea  pcisons  were  nothing  more  than  th«y 
pretend  to  be — mere  vehicles  of  genuine  tradition. 

But,  continues  Dr.  Chambers  — 

**Iam  aDx.ious  to  take  tliii  opportunity  of  sUowinc 
that  mv  ofiinions  on  the  romantic  baUuda,  bowe\-ordi»> 
relished  by  my  caaatfyDun,  had,  udloiuciou^v  to  me  at 
tlie  time,  the  wpportofa  veiy  hij^h  authority. 'Ritwu,  in 
the  Historical  Eesay  prefixed  to  hi«  coUoctiuu  of  ScutiUk* 
SoHgg,  ITUl,  pronoonced  regarding  the  ballads  as  follows : 
'  It  muit  be  coufesscd  that  none  of  tbeac  oompoaitioiui 
bear  satiefactofy  marlu  of  the  outicjuity  they  pretend  to ; 
whUe  the  expreaiioni  or  allu.'siuux  occurring  in  soma 
would  aeem  to  fix  their  oritjrin  to  a  very  modem  date*  ** 

This  is  a  new  discorers'.  Uow  shall  we  excoae  la 
an  editor  of  ballads,  and  one  who  seeks  to  impugn 
the  authenticity  of  a  large  class  of  them,  this 
ignorance  of  Ritson'a  Essay  P  Unfortunntely  this 
is  only  a  specimen  of  what  a  faithful  seeker  after 
truth  will  too  often  tiud  in  Chambers*  writings  on. 
this  subject  IJut  let  us  examine  this  *'  support " 
of  the  Doctor's  theory. 

Bitson  is  not  writmg,  in  the  passage  quoted, 
distinctively  of  those  balhuU  witii  which  we  ara 
at  pposent  concerned.  He  says  {Scotish  SiMffi,  2ad 
edjt.  Hopkins,  Glasgow,  18C0,  p,  77J  ; — 

**  There  are  in  Scotland  many  ballad*,  or  legendary  and 
romaiiUo  eou^pi,  composed  in  *a  rinf^ilar  fiiyle,  anu;>re- 
atrved  bu  tradition  amtmff  tJie  eountru  people ,-  some  of 
thew  will  be  found  inj^erted  in  Mr.  Il^nra  collection  of 
Scot*  Somff*;  and  for  a  r-ulloctioo  of  othem  not  hitherto 
pabUahod,  the  editor  of  tbeee  volumea  la  iudtiblcd  to  the 
liberality  and  polUeaaas  of  Alexandflr  Prascr  Tyaer, 
Esq." 

Then  follows  tho  aantence  quoted  above.  Now 
here  there  is  not  and  rannot  be  any  diatinctiT* 
refertmce  to  thoHc  ballads  embraced  bv  Dr.  Cham- 
ber's theory.  But,  eays  this  writer,  in  the  above 
category  are  included  '*the  Gatf  Goikemk,  tha 
Faum  Pottdrage^Kad  others  of  a  specially  ronuntis 
character,  strongly  adverted  to  in  my  paper  oa

idea,  barreimeM  of  languago  And  neglect  of 
rhyme  * — that  be  speftks  will  be  evident,  I  think, 
from  the  remainder  of  the  passage,  which  Dr. 
Chambers  does  not  quote :  — 

••  But,  in  fact,  with  rcitpcct  to  vulptr  poetry  pre- 
Hrred  by  tradition,  il  l.i  almost  impOfi?abIc  to  diMrimi- 
nate  the  aneieot  Trom  tlie  modern,  the  tnin  from  thti 
fidse.  Obaoletv  phrases  wiU  be  perpetoallr  chanxing  fur 
those  bottt.>r  understood ;  and  what  the  memory  lo9c-6  the 
invention  must  supply.  So  that  a  pcrf>irmanf^  of  gcoiua 
and  merit,  a»  tlie  poreat  itream  becomea  polluted  by  tbc 
foulDon  of  its  cbanoel,  may  in  time  be  deg^radal  to  the 
Titost  jargon.  Tradition*  in  ihorr,  la  i  species  of  alchemy 
which  converta  gold  to  lead."  Excepting  four  specimens 
of  thij  npecici  of  ballad,  "  few  of  the  others  will  bear 
publlcattdn,  bcin^:  rather  remarkable  bv  a  sort  of  wild 
whimsical  puerility  of  idea,  barn^nnesa  of  language,  and 
n«;lect  of  rh^-me — by  a  total  want,  in  ahort,  of  every- 
thing for  which  poetry  even  of  the  Tntgarat  kind  is  en* 
titled  to  adniiratign  or  allovance,**  &c.  &c 

WiU  Dr.  Chambers  aasert  that  this  langnago 
applies  to  his  group  of  ballads  P  If  he  does  not, 
then  it  is  not  true  tnat  Gitson  supports  hia  theory. 
If  he  does,  we  must  beliere  that  tlie  Antiquary,  in 
speaking  of  compositions  of  quite  an  opposite 
cnaracter,  fails  to  discern  the  cTifferenoe  between 
these  and  the  disputed  ballads.  But  the  extra- 
ordinary qualities  of  the  "  romaatie  ballads  "  is 
the  very  starting  point  of  the  northern  editor's 
hypothesis.  So  that,  so  far  h^m  supportiTiff  Dr. 
dluunbers,  Ritson  appears  to  differ  from  him  m 

Again,  let  us  for  a  moment  grant  that  Ritson'a 
-vords  hare  a  mcaninf?  the  contrary  of  that  which 
■they  express,  and  allow  that  ho  is  spoahing  of 
the  two  or  three  ballads  common  to  the  two  col- 
lections and  to  the  disputed  group  rather  than  of 
the  great  mass  of  llord's  and  Tytler's  songs. 
Even  in  this  case  he  does  not  aflirm  that  these 
pieces  are  of  modem  date.  All  he  pays  is  that 
(they  do  not  "  6mr  satitfadory  marks  of  antaqnity, 
^vtulo  some  (of  two  or  three)  have  apparently 
•modem  exprw-flions  or  allusions."  What  he  docs 
ucrt  is,  that  the  present  form  of  Euch  songs  is 
to  be  accounted  for  by  the  channel  through  which 
they  reach  us.  Adopting  his  own  simile — just  as 
the  purest  stream  becomes  polluted  by  the  foul- 
nens  of  its  channel,  so  these  performances  mnv  in 
time  be  degraded  to  the  vilest  jargon ;  but  \f  the 
channel  be  pure  they  may  come  down  to  us  in 
their  original,  or  postihiy  in  neater  than  their 
original,  excellence.  That  is,  Ritson'a  very  high 
^fcutnority  lends  its  weight  in  favour  of  the  opinion 
l«f  Dr.  Chambers'  opponents. 

It  may  be  objected,  however,  that  Dr.  Cham- 
beta  does  not  quote  llit^on  as  aasertingthe  modem 
origin,  but  merely  as  "suspecting"  it.  To  this 
I  can  only  say  that,  if  Ih-.  Clmmbers  confine 
himself  to  mi^perting,  he  will  find  much  fewer 
opponents  than  he  now  does;  but  in  that  ease  he 
is  not  warranted  in  saying  ho  has  Ritaon's  autho- 
nty  for  hi^  opinicns  on  the  romantic  ballads.     Ilia 


particular  "  heresr  "  conaUts  not  in  hia  sns|»doii 
so  much  as  in  his  belief  that  his  fanciful  hypo 
thesis  accounts  satisfactorily  for  the  dijficulty. 

Further:—' 

**  And  now  let  those  who  railed  at  my  acopUedam  at 
Kerre  that  not  only  were  these  very  balladt  cufpectad  V; 
Kitson  as  above  abown,  but  evon  by  Seott  buoMdCs

I  have  alrendy  taken  the  liberty  of  acima!! 
verting  on  Dr.  Chambers'  acknowledged  l^norante 
ofRit&on's  opinions,  when  ho  published  that  «i

the  learned  writer  has  just  become  acquainttd 
with  the  opinions  of  a  higher  authorit}'  than  crrn

Profbwor. 

"  Mr.  .lamteson  vtiuted  Mrs.  Brown  on  hi«  i-dirnVrt

••  THE  RELIGION  OP  DUMB  CREATURES." 

Was  Bishop  Godfrey  Goodman  or  George 
Oshome  the  author  P  I  have  before  me  a  qu&rto 
tract  of  37  pages,  including  address  to  the  reader, 
with  the  following  title  :^ 

"The  Creatures  praysinj;  God,  or  the  Religion  of 
dtuiib«  Creatures.  An  examplu  and  argument  for  the 
ttirring  up  of  our  devotion,  and  for  the  Confusion  of 
Atheijmifc  Benedicite,  omnia  opera  Domini,  Uominn ; 
laodace  eC  fnparexQltato  eum  in  eecala.  G.  0.  London. 
Printed  by  Felix  Kingston.   1G22." 

The  address  to  the  reader  states  that  the  author 
himself  would  not  vouchsafe  his  name,  title^  or 
preface  to  that  his  work,  and  that  he  was  very 
unwilling  that  it  should  be  published ;  but  there 
ifi  no  signature  to  the  addrese^  and  it  does  not 
appear  whether  it  proceeded  from  Kingston  or 
some  other  pereon.  Tho  object  of  the  tract  is  to 
show  that  all  things^  stocks  and  stones  as  well  as 
all  creatures  that  have  life,  have  n  religion  of  their 
own,  and  are  occupied  in  their  own  peculiar 
fashion  in  praising  God,  and  that,  though  from 
some  there  is  "  neither  sound  nor  voice  to  the 
ear,'*  yet  that  all  unite  in  "a  most  sweet  and 
delectable  harmony,  a  muaicke  of  nature."  The 
argument  is  carried  on  with  an  elaborate  appUoa- 
tiou  io  all  manner  of  created  beings  and  sub- 
etaooes,  and  is  a  greatly  expanded  version  of  the 
leading  idea  in  Addison's  l^autiful  hymn,  '^  The

titiously slipped  a  anilUng  into  it.  Upon  drinking 
the  liquor,  tue  fatal  coin  slipped  into  his  mouth,

1&77-1680.  liis  miMrablc  end  passed  into  a  proverb. 
He  WII5  fwrmnlly  accused  and  convicted  by  hii  fellow-

strange  to  eay,  Magalhacu,  fifty  yearn  previously,  bad  in- 
flicted a  similar  punishment  and  for  simitar  conduct  upon 
several  of  hi^  followers.  The  ja-tUce  of  Drake'a  proceed-

tiun ;  but  the  rerclationfl  of  the  Pabiic  Record  Offioe

Tho  unfortunate  man  appears  to  have  been  a  too  zealoua 
■py,  and  he  atteropted  by  variotu  means  to  thwart  tho 
prime  ubjict  of  Drake.  From  the  f net  of  the  admiral 
having  presided  himself  at  the  court-martial,  which  was 
extemporised  on  shore,  and  by  which  the  accused  wa* 
omdemned,  much  sympathy  wa^  felt  for  the  man  when

lOUSEHOLD  QUERIES. 

(i^-S.  v.  174,322.) 

BDce  to  the  statement  made  that  the 
to  have  been  uped  at  meals  in  Italy 
30,  I  am  tempted  to  otl'yr  a  few  de- 
i  in  a  small  es«ay  which  I  wrote  for 
ylish  Text  Society,  Italian  Cvwrttty- 


tien  ttf  it,  in  French  and  Englisb,  foe  the 
'hCTnb,  I8ftl.8. 


Fra  Bonvtcino  da  Riva,  a  Milanese  fnn  who 
wrote  about  1200,  and  who  has  left  a  curious 
versiiied  manual  of  Fifty  Cotirtesies  for  the  Tahie, 
speaks  of  the  use  of  a  spoon  by  way  of  fork ;  tho 
fork  itself  does  not  appear  in  his  poem.  "  Suck 
not  with  the  mouth  when  thou  eatest  with  a 
spoon."    To  this  I  appended  a  note : — 

"  It  ia  clear  frointbo  r^cnenil  context  tbsC  tha  victoils 
here  ipoken  of  as'  to  hv  eaten  with  a  apooa  are  nAUt 
efUbles^noc  rocnly  bouj«  or  Ibc  like:  the  spoon  cor- 
ro^ponding  to  the  modern  fork.  Tho  woni  translatod 
*  Kock  '  i»  sorbilar  :  p«fbapfl  '  mumble  '  would  convey  the 
force  of  the  precept  more  folly,  though  less  literally/* 

The  spoon  reappears  in  the  following  precepts  ; 

"Keep  tliy  Bp4^>nn,  if  thy  plate  is  removed  for  the 
adding;  of  nome  viaiidif :  if  the  spoou  la  in  the  plate  it  putt 
out  (he  helper.  .  .  .  If  tboa  art  eating  with  a  spoou. 
thou  mast  not  stuff  too  mach  bread  into  the  viclaalr4. 
He  who  lays  it  on  thick  upon  the  cooked  mcata  is  dia- 
tuteful  to  those  who  arc  eauug  beside  him." 

One  spoon,  it  would  seem,  is  to  last  all  through 
the  meal.  Another  precept  shows  pretty  clearly 
that  eech  guest  had  to  brin^  his  own Icnife,  but  n<i 
indication  of  u  like  practice  with  the  spoon  i» 
given. 

Other  writers  cited  in  mv  aforenamed  esaay  go 
on  to  about  the  middle  of  tne  sixteenth  century  ; 
hut  not  one  of  them  mentions  a  fork,  unless  pos- 
sibly Monaignor  della  Casa  {circa  li3M>)  intends 
to  refer  to  some  such  implement  imder  the  term 
"  stecco,"  He  says :  *'  Nor,  on  rising  from  table, 
is  it  a  nice  habit  to  carry  your  stecco  in  your 
mouth,  like  a  bird  which  is  in  nest-building,  or 
behind  the  ear  like  a  barber."  My  note  on  thbt 
passage  runs  as  follows : — 

"'Toothpick'  la  the  only  appropriate  technical  sense 
for  tteceo  given  in  the  dictionaries;  and  1  soppone  it  ia 
correct  here,  althoof^b  Delia  Gasa's  Tery  next  aeotenoe, 
denouncing  Uie  canying  of  thtji  implement  round  the 
neck,  deii^natca  it  by  the  word  ttHsacadaUit  and  it  soems 
odd  that  the  two  terms  fthoulcl  be  thoa  jaxta-posed  or 
opposed.  If  i/tccf>  does  not  in  this  passage  really  mean 
'toothpick,'  I  should  infer  that  it  inincates  some  ikewer- 
like-object,  used  possibly  aa  a  fozk — L  e,  to  secure  the 
viandri  on  the  plute,  while  they  are  Berered  with  a  spooo, 
and  by  that  conveyed  to  the  mouth.  Thia  would  in  fkct 
be  a  sort  of  chop4ick.  Such  an  Infcrsnoe  is  quite  com- 
patiUo  with  the  general  sense  of  the  wotd  «teceo— an y 
stake  or  splint  of  wood." 

Can  any  reader  of  "  N.  &,  Q."  throw  further 
light  on  this  9tecco  auestion  ?     W.  M.  Robsbtti.

The  earliest  instance  of  the  use  of  forks  in  the

A  little  mistake  ncrurs  in  Mn,  Proaox's  paper. 
Silver  forks  were  introduced  into  England  acme 
time  prt'TiouB  to  1814.  I  know  that  in  the  year 
1812  they  were  considered  as  essentials  in  a 
moderate  service  of  plate,  and  were  then  madti 
four-pronged  and  tiddle  head  and  shoulders.  An 
Bnghsh  friend  of  mine  has  some  three-pronged 
'4n368  much  older.  I  hare  some  plain  four-pn)n*;^ed 
ones  that  I  believe  to  be  of  an  earlier  aate.  I 
fancy  the  irilver  mark  on  all  plate  gives  an  ap- 
pronmation  to  the  date;  but  as  I  cannot  decipher 
it,  I  should  be  ohli^pd  if  any  of  vour'  cor- 
lespondeuta  could  give  the  clue  to  the  Interpreta- 
tion. Z.  Z.

No  one,  I  bolieve,  has  yet  commented  oq  the 
extraordinary  note  of  Mr.  Chaitcr,  founded  on 
Mr.  Skeat's  reference  to  the  normal  chang:e  of 
/  into  u  in  French  words.  It  affords  a  curious 
instance  of  the  mischifif  which  may  arise  from 
flailing  up  a  plnuaible  theory  upon  ■  fundamental 
fc-«rror.  Ma.  i?KK.\T'rt  aasertion  is,  as  Ma.  Changs 
allows,  *'an  incontestable  fact" — a  fact  lyias  iu 
the  Tery  foundation  of  the  lau^uagB;  and  Mr. 
Chancb'b  assertion  that  i  was  interpolated  aft^r 
jtiie  u  is  also  a  fact,  but  the  one  is  not  destruc- 
tive of  the  other.  The  change  of  /  into  u  is 
liormal  and  offfunic.  The  inAertion  of  the  /  i.-» 
Abnormal  and  intrusive,  and  is  the  consequence 
of  ignorance  or  caprice  on  the  part  of  certain 
French  authors  aud  grammarians  mainly  of  the 
sixteenth  century.  Some  of  them,  especially 
at  tlie  time  of  the  RenaisMance,  aeem  to  have  im- 
^agined  that  aa  the  original  /  of  the  Latin  word 
was  uo  longer  apparent,  they  c«uld  set  things 


right  by  roetorinff  it.*    This  "fiivre  d'^TuditioD^

Ma.  Tew  u  mistaken  in  calling  Sir  John  Walter 
a  baronet,  for  the  Walter  baronetcy  wss  not 
created  until  Aug.  lO,  1041,  nearly  eleven  yean 
after  Sir  John's  death.  And  as  to  '^  the  curious 
circumstaiictt  related  in  KenDett*s  RegiOer  about 
Sir  Wm.  Walter,"  he  hns  been  ludicrously  misled 
by  a  printer's  error :  for  he  must  see  on  reflection 
that  the  general  of  the  Parliamentary  anny  to 
whom  Dr.  Wallis  was  chaplain  was  ^e  well- 
known  Sir  Wm.  Walier,  and  that  Walter  c^d  only 
be  a  misprint.  Sir  Wm.  frfi//<tr  was  nut  a  general 
at  all,  and  was  certainly  a  Cavalier,  for  hie  eeUto 
waa  sequestered  by  Parliament,  and  be  had  to 
nay  10u7/.  by  way  of  composition  for  it.  The 
neir-at-law  of  Sir  John  Walter  in  1857,  to  whom 
the  care  of  his  ancestir's  tomb  belonged,  was  the 
heir  of  Lord  Rolle  of  Devon,  the  linesd  descendant 
and  representative  of  John  RoUe,  M.P.  for  Devon, 
who  married  Isabella  Walter,  sister  and  heir  of 
the'  last  baronet.  One  cannot  understand,  there- 
fore, how  apy  "  collateral  descendant "  could  in- 
terfere in  it :  but  I  am  not  sure  that  I  know  the 
meaning  of  this  expression,  because  it  would  seem 
that  a  poraon  must  either  be  UneaUy  descended 
from  another,  or  not  be  descended  from  him  at 
all.  I  hope,  however,  that  Mk.  Tkw  will  explain 
the  preoifle  oonnection  to  which  he  refers,  and  will 
thereby  add  to  our  knowledge  of  this  family.

with  leg«Ddi  in  a  superior  type  of  "  Modem 
Gothic.''  According  to  Aetle  on  Writing  (Lon- 
don, 1803),  Lombw^ic  and  Longobardic  lettere 
vere  centuries  earlier.  All  the  capitals  ar« 
crowned  and  illuminated,  and  the  smalu  plainly 
dovdoped.  The  cross  which  usually  precedes 
these  legends,  and  accompanies  these  trefoils,  is 
in  two  eizoBj  and  it  way  be  likened  to  four  cross 
crosalets,  so  ct^aibined  as  to  form  one  large  cross. 

This  trefoil  shield  is  someiiraea  accompanied 
by  another,  bearing  a  chevron  between  three 
laver  pots,  which  1  have  always  considered  to  be 
the  srms  of  some  gild  of  founders,  because  this  last 
ahield  U  nften  met  with  on  bells  cast  by  various 
founders. 

Some  eminent  Cannnamsts  consider  that  both 
the  shields  mark  the  work  of  '*  William 
PFOUXiKiR,"  ivbuse  stamp  bearing  this  name  is 
well  known :  but  we  hare  negative  proof  to  the 
contrary;  he  certainlv  uses  the  laver  pots  and 
other  beautifnl  initial  crosses,  but  there  is  no 
instance  that  I  hsve  met  with  whoro  the  trofoils 
are  accompanied  by  Aw  tiatne. 

Buppofitn^,  however,  there  are  bells  somewhere 
bearing  "William  ffouudor's"  name,  with  the 
trefoils,  may  not  that  prove  that  UnderhiU  was 
the  mrHame  of  the  said  William  P 

In  1010  («bnut  two  centuries  after  the  time  of 
these  mediseval  bells)  there  certainly  was  a  bell- 
founder  of  this  name  in  Ix)ndon,  on  the  authority 
of  Mr.  Lukis  in  his  ArcowU  of  Church  BeUa. 

If  I  am  mistaken  in  this  view  of  the  subject, 
I  shall  be  very  pleased  to  be  corrected  by  positive 
proof;  and  it  will  be  good  news  to  read  in  the

faarmlesB  &t  lewt,  but  they  bjq  not  necesfiary  oa 
any  geoerftl  rule.  The  line  u  it  etandfl  u  only 
wrong  on  the  auppocition  that  the  some  roetre 
requires  the  same  number  of  syllables,  which  is 
not  the  case. 

The  most  obvioua  recent  examples  to  the  con- 
trary are  the  Lay  of  (he  Last  Minttrei  and  Chris- 
tabtL  (Quierc,  which  of  theea  was  first  written  ?) 
ColeTidge^  in  his  preface  to  the  latter,  calls  it  a  new 
principle  to  scan  b^  accent  and  not  by  syllable ; 
Dut  I  much  doubt  it  it  was  so. 

AH  that  is  here  needed  is  to  dwell  a  little  on 
the  second  syllable  of  "  Skiddaw." 

The  thirteenth  line  of  the  "  Armada  "  seems  to 
me  much  more  qucstionnblc  as  to  rhythm.  I  can- 
not make  it  out  except  by  throwing  the  accent, 
most  awkwardly,  on  the  httle  articlo  *'  a  "  or  on 
'*  -ny  a  "  made  into  one  syllable. 

I  said^  ho  werer,  that  on  any  general  rule  the  line 
was  gxKid.  It  is  true  that  tnerv  heems  no  other 
instance  in  the  poem  of  the  accentual  scansion, 
unJess  in  the  said  thirteenth  line  the  word  "fiah- 
in^buk''  were  lumped  into  a  dissyllable,  and 
we  pauaed  or  dwelt  on  *'  out."  I  beUeve  this  would 
be  at  leaat  no  worse  than  the  other  way. 

L.  M.  Y/s  defence  of  Macaulay  leaves  matters 
just  as  they  were.  The  initial  "  and  "  is,  metri- 
cally, otiose:  otherwise  the  accentual  emphasis 
must  be  thrown  upon  the  first  "the"  which  is 
"Tery  tolerable  ana  not  to  be  endured."  It  must 
iDeritably  be  thrown  on  the  syllable  foUoioivg 
tHat  articlej  whatoror  It  may  be.

t)iere  are  some  puiuts  in  connection  with  It  wnicb 
the  replies  <il  R.  B.  S.  and  Db.  Kooebs  do  not  fully 
bang  out 

1.  R.  B.  S.  in  givinof  a  ritttmf  of  the  eTidence, 

omits  to  state  tliat  Mr.  Stownrt.  in  his  History 

Vmdicat^,  adduces  in  support  of  the  fact  of  the 

Owning  tho  authority  of  an  Episcopalian  pam- 

j/blsi    (A    f^ort    Character   of    the   Prtabyitricni 

%«'pvf),  jiublished  in  1703,  which  he  demonstrates 

'W  prtnied  by  Rev.  Andrew  Svnison,  who,  in 

1085,  was  (I  minister  of  the  parish  of  Kirldxmer, 

b  which  Margaret  Lauchlison,  the  elder  of  the 

^towned   women,  resided,   and  which    he   gives 

"7  ■tronff'  evidence  for  believing  was  uritten  by 

.  Matthias  Symson,  a  son  of  Andrew  Symson. 

B.  S.;  too,  omifii  to  notice  the  fact  that  the 

iter  of  this  pamphlet,  in  the  very  same  page 

which   he  admits   the  fact  of  the   Wigtoun 

■irwning,  refers  to  Sir  George  Mackenxie*B  Vm- 

ottlbn,  and  asserts  that  its  statements  are  un- 

rwered    and    unanswerable,  —  thus    evidently 

ii£iig,  on  some  ground  with  which  we  are  not 


now  fully  acquainted,  thst  neither  he  nor  Sir 
George  regarded  the  drowning  of  these  women  as 
an  execution. 

2.  Immediatelr  ^er  the  publication  of  Mr. 
Stewart's  first  edition  in  1807,  Mr.  Mark  Napier 
advertised  for  itnmediaie  publication  a  now  edition 
of  his  Case  for  the  Crown.  Time  passed  on  with- 
out any  ugn  of  its  appearing.  In  Feb.  1860,  Mr. 
Stewart  published  the  second  edition  of  his  Mi*' 
t<ny  Vindicated^  in  which  he  tauntingly  asked 
Mr.  Napier  "  whether  he  was  still  sitting  before 
this  last  stronghold  of  the  Wodrow  Martyrology  'f 
or  whether  he  had  raised  the  siege  P"  In  March, 
1800,  Mr.  Napier  again  advertised  his  reply,  but 
though  another  year  has  now  elapsed  there  are 
no  signs  of  its  appearance. 

3.  When  the  farst  edition  of  Mr.  Stewart's  work 
appeared  the  entire  press  of  Scotland,  with  the 
exception  of  the  £diHburt/h  Comtoti/,  pronounced 
that  Mr.  Stewart  hod  made  out  his  case  and  re-' 
futed  Mr.  Napier.  This  verdict  was  reiterated  on 
the  appearance  of  the  second  edition — it  may  be 
said  UDAnimoualy,  as  the  Coarant  has  never  ven- 
tured to  notice  this  latter  edition.  It  is  signi- 
ficant, too,  that  papers  like  T?u)  Atheneeutn  and 
Saturday  Jleview,  which  spoke  in  commendatory 
terras  of  Mr.  Mark  Napier's  Case  for  the  Crowfi, 
have  never  noticed  Mr.  Stewart's  Jliftory  Vindi'

Abbbt  of  St.  Fikbab,  Ivkishork  (4**  8.  v. 

341.)  — Tliis  abbey  is  said  iu  Luttrell  of  Atran  to 
be  in  the  Isles  of  Arran  on  the  north-west  coast 
of  Ireland.  The  Island  of  Aran  on  the  coast  of 
Donegal  contains  no  ruins.  The  Isles  of  Arran, 
in  the  Bay  of  Galway,  contain  many  ruins  of 
churches,  and  the  ruins  or  site  of  the  Abbey  of 
Kil-Knda,  and  where  the  monastery  of  Kil-choem- 
hain  once  flourished.  I  fear,  therefore,  that  Mb. 
VrvLAX  will  scarcely  be  able  to  find  the  history  of 
this  abbey,  which  is  probably  as -much  a  creation 
of  Charles  Lever's  pen  as  Luttrell  of  Arran 
himself.  It  may  perhaps  be  a  highl;^  imaginative 
description  of  KiJleanv  Lodge,  which  is  at  the 
head  (south-west)  of  ^<illeflny  Boy.  But  if  so, 
the  mountain  behind  the  abbey  will  still  bo  want- 
ing, for  the  highest  point  west  of  it  is  only  200 
feet  above  the  sea,  while  the  ground  on  whica  tbe 
lod^  itself  stands  is  ninety.  I^ever  has  no  doubt 
designedly  confused  the  geography  of  the  scene 
of  his  novel,  as  is  not  uncommon.  Griffin's  Cot- 
kyians  is  a  remarkable  inirtance  of  this.  If  there 
ia  such  an  abbey,  it  is  to  be  looked  for  elsewhere 
than  in  the  Isles  of  Arran.  Inquisition  (April  11, 
1581)  finds  that  these  islands  were  parcel  of  the 

pOBseeaions  of  the relieious  housee  of  Fyn- 

l>t>ur,  Annaghcoyne,  &c.  in  tne  countv  of  Galway.

tigiitod  and  verified  by  the  late  Sir  WiUiam 
Betbam,  then  Ulster  KiDj^-at-Arma  in  Ireland, 
through  dates  long  anterior  to  the  Swifts  of 
Rntherbam.  I  hare  frequently  seen  and  perused 
this  document,  now  ptnes  the  relict  of  Godwin 
Swift^  de  jure  Viscount  Carlinfrford,  and  guardian 
of  their  minor  son.  My  own  direct  descent  from 
our  cnmnion  ancestor,  the  Godwin  8wift  of  S.'s 
dubitfltiuna,  bv  bis  third  wife  llannab,  the  only 
child  and  heiress  of  Admiral  Beane  (married 
1073),  of  the  which  brnnch  I  am  in  Ita  sixth 
generation  the  representative,- is  therein  set  forth, 
and  our  right  of  bearing  the  family  arms  authen-

married with  those  of  tbo  Dumfrit-s  and  the 
Chrichtons,  now  merged  in  the  marquisate  of

man,  and  for  bin  name's  sake,  I  auppoae,  oogno- 
minated  "  The  Duan."  1  must  aUo  acknowledge 
a  certain  William  Swift,  who,  toward  the  doM 
of  the  oeveuteentb  century,  was  sms.  pw  coL  at 
York  (ftriHo  afat.  sna  70)  for  a  rape — a  more 
gentlemanlike  sort  of  otTence  than  aheep  or  horse- 
■tealing  ;  and  therefore,  I  suppose,  honoured  with 
the  taking  of  hia  portrait,  an  engraving  whereof 
I  have  seen.  I  mention  this  gallant  individual, 
and  all  the  other  Swifts  who  hare  not  yet  been

which  nppeured  in  its  Trtmsmdionii.  These  proofs 
amottnt  only  to  thia,  that  a  coofiiderable  element

influences,  the  mixture  of  tbe  two  tongac*)  an- 
swering to  the  ethnic  affinitieA  of  the  mixed 
Celt-lberic  race  of  Spain.  This  is  very  different 
to  making  Basque  and  Celtic  the  same  tongue. 
Structurally  and  in  vocabulary  they  are  very  wide 
anunder,  and  belong  to  two  very  distinct  types  of 
langUA^.  Basque  is  beyond  all  doubt  a  Finnic 
or  Ugrian  tongoo,  and  CtUic  as  certainly  is  on 
Arran  language.  That  n  substratum  of  Bamue 
nnnerlies  every  European  language,  isns  prvibable 
as  that  A  Basque  element  e.iist^  in  the  Dlood  of 
every  European  race.  The  probability  in  fact 
amounts  to  certainty.  That  this  element  increasee 
as  we  move  westward  is  also  very  certain,  and 
so  far  the  Celtic  languages  otI«r  a  good  lever  for 
overturning  tho  "  loads  of  lore"  that  have  covered 
and  hidden  the  earlier  condition  of  Europe;  but 
the  diecoverr  of  this  fact  is  not  new.

Fonwnx  Titles  is  Ekolasd  (4*"  S.  t.  316.) — 
T  do  not  pret«iid  to  oiler  more  than  a  few  sug- 
gestions on  this  vexed  questinn. 

1.  WTiero  tho  government  originating  titles  of 
nobility  has  ceased  to  exist,  the  custom  seems  to 
be  to  recognise  the  ))erxonai  rank  uf  tbe  bolder 
independent  of  terrifvn'ai  denigiiiitiou.  Thus  the 
ox-sovcreign  or  Maharaiah  of  the  Punj ab  is 
simply  stvled  *' Ilia  Highne&s  tho  Maharajah 
DiUeep  Sing."  "  Tho  Chevalier  St  George/'  at 
a  more  remote  period,  is  another  illustration,  and 
many  other  simitar  instances  might  be  adduced.

stylo,  indicatuig  the  former  rank  of  his  Ikmilv, 
aud  the  unalienable  nobility  of  blood,  as  Ills 
Hlghneas,  &c. 

2.  The  titles  of  foreign  nobility  included  in 
Burke's  Peeraa^,  Sec,  appear  to  have  been  in- 
aerted  on  appUcation,  ba^  on  Tarioua  clainiB ; 
while  some  oi  the  best  are  not  to  be  found  there. 
Thus  there  is  no  mention  of  the  ex-royal  family 
of  France,  or  of  the  lineal  heirs  of  ConatanUne 
Paliculogu^,  the  last  Byxautine  emperor,  while 
inferior  titles  are  recorded. 

In  the  same  work "  English  hidh  is  not  the 
desideratum,  for  we  hare  the  exceptional  caae  of 
"St.  Agatha,"  Ac  A  British  royal  license  U 
not  the  rule,  nor  are  letters  of  naturalisation,  for 
there  are  foreign  noblemen  in  the  aamo  work  who 
have  reoeirod  neither.  Even  residence  in  Eng- 
land is  not  a  sine  qud  nofi,  as  wo  notice  in  the  titles 
of  Counts  Nugent  and  Magawly  Cerati. 

Again,  amongst  these  foreign  titles  of  nobility 
are  several  derired  from  governments  which 
have  ceased  to  exist,  viz.  ''German  Empire," 
*•  Monarchical  France,"  Naples,  the  Ionian  Isles, 
Spiun*  Lucca,  &c. 

3.  The  foreign  titles  of  the  noble  bouses  of 
Wellington  and  Nelson  seem  to  bo  on  the  some 
footing  OS  that  of  Chatclherault,  claimed  by  the 
l>uke  of  Abercoru,  but  ignored  ou  principle  by  the 
Napoleonic  ruler^  who  accordingly  regrauted  the 
same  title  to  the  other  competitor  for  it. 

4.  Where  an  exceptional  form  of  government 
Las  existed  for  a  brief  period,  and  been  followed 
by  a  restoration  of  the  original  form,  the  titles 

^created  under  the  intermediate  government  have 
>l)een  ignored,  as  in  the  case  of  Cromwell's  "  Upper 
"louse."  Again,  James  the  Second's  lateat  crea- 
tions of  nololity  havo  remained  null  and  void.

Mr.  Bote's  q^uer^  has  not  been  answered,  I  should 
like  to  ask  him  if  he  has  any  authority  that  the 
custom  which  he  speaks  of  ever  prevailed.  I 
have  never  met  with  an  instance  of  a  sepulchral 
monument  placed  with  its  head  to  the  east — i.  e. 
where  one  could  depend  upon  its  being  in  its 
original  position;  and  I  myself  do  not  believe  it  to 
l>e  anytbrng  but  a  myth.

**  And  now  comes  the  sad  part  of  my  itory.  Tha  old 
man's  death  left  two  unmarried  daugbtcni,  aged  63  tttid

tbo  city  uf  Cruluu,  wilb'iu  nix  miles  of  which  it

I'd  to  be  80  from  the  eiirliest  da\rD  of 

bi-lMfy  to  the  beginning  of  the   Christian  era, 

wh«  n  it   CTflduallv   sank   to  obscurity  with   the 

df-rrtv  of  the  Greek  cilioa  of  Afogua  GnGcin.     Vir- 

2il  (Aia.  iii.  552)  speaks  of  its  cxUtenco  in  tho 

o(  MoeaSf  and  we  may  therefore  infer  that

place  of  an  annual  meeting  for  all  the 

'  >k9,  at  which  a  procession  took  place  in 

L«>u..iu   'ii   the  goddesS;   and   I  found   that   this 

•mdcnl  assembly  was  still  kept  up  in  honour  of 

tho  Uadoooa  del  Cap:i^  to  whom  there  is  a  gmud 

jwlivBl_  every  year  about  May  20,  B   few  days 

land  forms  a  tri- 


anfrnlar  pen)n.->.ulAr  with  ths  base  towards  the 
mainland,  in  length  about  twenty  miles.  A  ridge 
of  bare  hilU  of  no  great  height  stretches  awajr 
towards  the  promontory  tailed  Capo  dtdlo  Co- 
lonne.  On  euicring  upon  the  base  of  the  triangle 
I  found  a  barrun  aad  arid  plain,  stretching  for 
seven  mile^,  and  rising  gnidually  tlU  I  reached  a 
ridge,  which  on  one  side  was  nearly  perpendi- 
cular, and  at  the  summit  of  which  the  small 
village  of  Culro  is  plsced. 

Tho  distance  of  the  temple  from  Cotrono  ia 
about  six  miles,  as  Livy  states,  and  the  approach 
to  it  is  along  tho  coast  by  a  narrow  runit,  with 
bills  of  a  prouipitous  character  to  tho  right.  As 
I  neared  the  promontory  the  hills  gradually  be* 
came  loss  hign  till  they  at  lost  oniirely  disap- 
peared, and  a  lecel  plain  of  about  a  mile  in  extent 
lay  bdfore  me.  in  the  distance  rose  a  single 
column,  the  only  remnant  of  a  monument  of  dis- 
tant ages,  tho  connecting  link  kctwecn  the  past 
and  the  present. 

Tho  grove  of  pines  and  tho  gloomy  fnreat,  of 
which  Livy  sp'^ks,  and  under  the  shade  uf  whieb^ 
he  says,  the  tlocks  and  herds  of  the  touiplu  fed 
unmolested,  aro  no  longer  there. 

Kich  pasture.^  could  only  have  been  at  certain 
periods  of  tho  year,  as  the  peninsula  hns  much 
of  tho  chanicter  of  the  Tavoliero  of  Apulia,  being 
burnt  np  by  tho  excessive  beats  of  summer.  I 
found  that  the  cattle  were  driven  to  the  .Alpine 
region  of  tho  Sila  during  summer,  and  only  re- 
turned after  the  winter  rains  had  rai^d  a  rich 
herbage  on  the  surface.  At  the  time  (May  24) 
that  1  visited  tlie  promontory,  tho  phuu  of  which 
I  spoke  was  untenanted  by  animals  of  any  kind. 
There,  however,  was  Lacinium  where  the  "boxer 
.dCgou  devoured  all  alone  eighty  chi-ese-cakea, 
and  there  he  seiiied  by  the  hoof  nnd  brought  from 
the  mountain  the  bull,  and  gave  it  to  Amaryllis/' 
as  wo  ore  told  by  Theocritua  {Idi/U,  iv.  I.  3  J.)  A 
fiivr  stunted  codnrs  and  aomo  luw  bru.ih-wood 
represented  the  woods  of  ancluut  times,  though 
on  the  slopes  of  the  hills  I  saw  a  sprinkling  Qt\ 
trees.  There  was  nothing  but  this  solitary  column,, 
closely  resembling  those  of  Metapontum,  whicll 
I  afterwards  saw,  to  remind  me  that  I  waa  ap- 

Sroaching  a  spot  rich  in  historical  recuUectioua. 
ine  or  two  ill-constructed  houses,  the  sitmmori 
residences  of  some  of  the  more  opulent  inbabitantf' 
of  Cotrone,  and  a  ruined  watch-tower,  wore  the 
only  indications  of  btunnn  existence,  niih  tbo* 
exception  of  a  small  chapel  dedicated  to  the  wor- 
ship of  the  Madonna  del  Capo,  who  now  orcupies 
the  pUce  of  the  pagan  podJcss.  Tho  painting  of 
tho  Madonna  was  exhibited  to  mo  with  muuh 
reverence  by  on  old  man  to  whom  tho  cara  of  the 
chapel  is  entrusted.  I  thought  of  tho  famous 
Ucleo,  painted  by  Zeuxis,  which  had  once  adorned 
the  temple  of  Juno,  and  sighed  to  think  that  the 
Virgin  Mary  waa  repreaeuted  by  auch  a  daub.

Tho  tomple  stands  on  the  extreme  point  of  a 
narrow  tongue  of  land,  with  the  cit*tellated  tow*^rs 
of  Croton  and  the  lofty  mountains  of  the    Sila 
seen  in  tho  distance.    lur  oif.  near  Cape  Bizzuto, 
a  rockj  iiUet  is  risible  to  the  south,  which   is 
believed    to     represent    Ogvjria,    the    island    of 
Calvpso,  so  beautifully  described  by  Homer.     A 
few   yards   below  tho   lofty   column   the  waves 
dashed  Inzily  aRninst  the  rock,  which  for  n^es 
had  withstood  their  ceaseless  roar.     Tho  builders 
of  this  temple  seem  to  have  built  for  eternity,  so 
massive  aru  tho  stones  of  its  foundation.     On  one 
side,  which  is  most  perfect,  live  rows  of  stones, 
ten  feet  in  length,  had  supported  this  maguificent 
edifice.  Above  tliis  a  thick  wall  of  brick,  no  doubt 
of  a  later  date,  had   been  raised,  the  unbroken 
masses  of  which  lie  in  various  directions.     To- 
wards the  sea  a  portion  continues  still  entire,  and 
reaches   a    height    of   nearly    thirty  feet     The 
column,  which  seems  to  be  ahout  thirty  feet  in 
height,  and  which  gives  nrtrae  to  tho  capo.i^  of 
the  Doric  oi*der,  being  fluted.     It  is  supported  nn 
a  pediment  of  four  rows  of  Btoues,  placed  on  each 
otner  without  mortar.     The  length  of  the  temple 
on  the  western  side,  which  is  most   perfect,  is 
upwards  of  four  hundred  feet.     I  see  that  Mr. 
Bunbury,  in   the   article   "Croton"   in   Smith's 
Dictionary  of  Greek  anH  Jiomnn  Octgraphy,  main- 
tains that  these  ruins  on  the  west,  of  which  I 
speak,  could  never  have  formed  any  part  of  the 
temple ;  but  I  see  no  reason  to  doubt  it,  as  the 
form  of  the    ^ound  uuiting    them  to  the   p.-irt 
where  tho  column  now  stands  would  lead  us  to 
Auppoee  that  the  whole  was  one  continuous  build- 
ing.    No  doubt  the  remains  are  of  reticulated 
Btructuro,  and  wore  of  a  later  date ;  but,  so  fur  as 
I  could  jud^^e,  the  ancient  temple  stretched  over 
the  whole  of  Ihie  large  ppoce  of  pround. 

At  the  time  that  Baron  l^edesel  visited  this  spot 
in  17<17,  there  were  two  columns.  How  oni*  of 
tbem  should  have  entirely  dissppeared  I  cuuld 


to 


Cbei 


get  no  account  The  old  sexton  said  Uiat  tt 
at  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  but  I  could  see  im 
of  it.  The  OQC  that  remains  bolon;:ed 
eastern  portico,  and,  as  far  as  I  e4)uld 
foundations,  there  seem  to  have  been 
six  columns.  I  mode  inquiry  at  Cotrone 
they  had  been  transferred  to  any  of 
churvhes — a  common  pnictice  in  the  Middtt 
Ages.  This,  however, seems  not  to  havn  beou  th« 
caae,  though  I  found  that  their  mole  ct:)Dtaiaed 
many  of  the  larger  stones  that  had  fortnwi  tba 
foundations  of  the  temple,  and  that  it  had  aU» 
been  a  quarry  out  of  which  the  bishop's  palacd 
had  been  built.  It  is  not  surprising,  therefore, 
that  so  little  of  it  should  remain. 

It  is  difficult  to  accouut  for  the  disappeanaoa 
of  the  columns,  as  they  do  not  sef>m,  as  X  bar* 
said,  to  have  been  removed  for  the  purpose  of 
adoniing  Christian  churches;  but  this  »:iuthera 
part  of  Italy  haa  been,  I  believe,  in  all  a^jrMffuli- 
ject  to  earthquakes,  and  it  is  perhaps  more  cur- 
prising  to  tind  one  column  standing  than  that  tkv 
others  should   have  been  toppled  into  the  ecu. 
Two  ni(^hta  after  I  visited  the  capo.  I  found  mystlf 
forty  mdea  to  the  north,  at  the  village  of  Roaaoo. 
In  the  morning  I  was  amused  to  hear  that  ttis 
inhabitants   had   passed   the   night  in   the  opn 
country  away  from  their  houses  to  escape  bctB|  • 
buried  in   their  ruins,  as  there  bad  been  semu 
severe  shocjjs  of  an  earthquake.     A  ntran^r  like 
myself  was   left   to   take   his  chance.     I  think, 
therefore,  that  wo  may  Ju&tly  conclude  that  th«M 
columns    have   been    destroyed    by   earthquakos 
during  tho  long  course  of  upwards  oi'two  thouaaii4 
years. 

I  may  add,  that  nowhere  in  the  South 
did  I  see  such  nia.««ive  stones  as  form  tb> 
this  temple.      It  U  remarkable  that  th- 
cities  should  hare  been  built  of  mater 
hnvo  yielded  so  ea^l^   to  the   cffr?ct^ 
Neither  at   Locri,   Vl-Iiu,   Sybaris,  Ik-n 
Metaponlum  did   1   find  anything  tbiit  • 
compiired  with  this  temple  of  Juno  I^^dma, 
it  was  not  till  I  reached  Ameria  in  Ktruiia,  to 
north  of  Rone,  that  I  saw  foundation  at* 
the  same  Dias^ive  character.

IfUaKSHlRB  JACOBITES. 

Some  years  ago  (S"*  S.  viii.  I'.i)  I  published  ia 
the  pa^:ea  of  "  X.  x.  Q.'*  a  lif«t  of  the  Jacobites 
who  were  put  to  death  at  York  in  I74tj  for  having  , 
served  on  the  losinc,^  side  in  the  civil  war  which 
was  terminated  by  the  battle  of  Cnlloden.  I 
mentioned  at  tho  same  time  tho  fact  that  the 
chaplain  of  the  hi);h  sherilT  of  Yorkshire  for  that 
3rear,  when  preaching  before  the  judges,  thought 
the  passage 

"And  Moses  sait]  note  the  judges  of  Israel,  Slay  ye 
every  ona  hifl  men  that  wen  jflined  iioto  ItoAl-peor.**— 
Kambcrt  xxv.  5. 

no  unfit  text  for  his  discourse.  At  the  time  of 
writing  this  I  did  not  know  the  name  of  the 
divine,  nor  that  hi«  sermon  had  been  printed.  A 
few  days  ago  I  succeeded  in  finding  a  copy  in 
the  Library  of  the  British  Musenm  (press-mark 
4475  o).     The  title  is  as  follows :  — 

"  Tho  beiDous  Xal  ure  of  Rcbdlioo.  A  Sermon  preached

duu :  printed  fur  J.  Sbuekburgh  at  the  Suu  next  the 
Laner  i'euiple  Uabe  in  Fleet  Street*  1746." 

The  pamphlet  is  interesting,  not  for  any  literary 
merits  of  its  own,  but  because  it  is  dedicated  to 
the  hi((h  sherilT  of  the  coimty,  Henry  Ibbetaon 
of  Wttodhouse,  who  wa**  after^iards  cruatyd  ft 
baronet  for  his  flervicea  to  tlie  reigning  family 
during  his  term  of  office,  and  to  tho  grand  jury 
who  served  on  the  occasion.  A  li.st  of  the  latter 
is  given.  Aa  it  would  bo  tUttlcult  to  find  one  else- 
where, 1  transcribe  it: —

The  sermon  is  iu  character  with  the  text — very 
unsuitable  for  tha  occasion.     The 'following  pas- 
sage may  he  taken  aa  a  spaciaMu  of  the  way  ii 
which  Mr.  Ibbetson   considered   it  becoming   iiT 
him  to  speak  of  prisoners  beforo  trial : — 

"  I  would  not  seem  to  irrifeala  Jiutico  against  thoie  un- 
bappy  wretchea,  who  are  nader  tb«  prowcuilon  of  ihe

past  my  akilt ;  it  hantly  leAves  room  for  mercy  to  inter- 
cede with  Jnntice.  What  a  email  comiwnHtiun  can  tho

Those  who  ore  acquainted  with  Yorlwhire 
familv  history  will  seo  that  tbe  pmnd  jury  cou- 
ustea  almost  entirely  of  Whigs.  It  is  interesting 
too  to  note  that  the  popular  gympathr  with  the 
Jacohitca,  which  we  are  now  sometimes  toH 
never  existed  exceptinromance-hookft,hftd  reached 
the  cars  of  n  staunch  Hanoverian  like  the  shorilT's 
cbaplftin.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  this  per- 
son woa  of  the  8Rnie  family  as  the  high  shoriiT, 
but  it  is  by  no  mearn*  cletir  from  tbe  printed 
jiedigree  given  iu  Whitakei'i*  edition  uf  Thoresby's 
JhiCiiUtti  Leodietisii,  p.  1-10,  what  was  the  precise 
connection.  Sir  Henry  had  a  brother  James,  but 
wo  are  not  told  in  the  pedijp«e  that  he  was  in- 
holy  orders.  I  shall  b«  obliged  to  any  one  who 
will  identify  the  chnpUin,  and  inform  me  what

HooKKR  AND  AvExn>Tt< — Most  readers  of 
"  N.  Si  il"  are  probably  ac^nflinted  with  the 
account  wJiich  Izaak  Walton  gives  of  the  great 
Jtichard  HooUer's  raarrin^e  : — how,  in  consiaera- 
tion  of  the  hindneaa  which  he  had  received  from 
a  certain  Mrs.  Churchman,  on  occasion  of  bis 
preachini^  at  Paul's  Cross,  ho  allowed  her  to  per- 
suade him  "  that,  being-  a  man  of  a  tender  con- 
stitution, it  was  best  for  him  to  have  a  wife  that 
might  prove  a  nurse  to  hiui — such  an  one  as 
night  Diith  prolong  his  life  and  make  it  more 
•comfortable  ;  how  she  recommended  her  own 
niece  [daughter  ?'3,  and  how  ill  the  marriage 
tamed  out. 

1  have  just  lighted  on  a  curious  parallel  in  the 
aketch  of  the  lile  of  John  Thurmayer,  commonly 
known  as  Aventinua,  which  is  prefixed  to  his 
\Annnif»  lioiomm  (liai^el,  IWO).  Hooker  was  not 
more  than  thirty  when  he  married ;  Aventin\i« 
was  sixty-four:  but  there  are  suft'icient  points  of 
lilcencss.  Avi-ntinus  conRulted  two  of  his  friends 
n»  to  the  expedienry  of  marrying,  and  quoted 
Scripture  on  both  sides  of  the  question : — 

**acd  Rcncctutcm  soam  omnino  conKidcniiiii.  tandem

T.  C.  was  not  n  little  snrpriipd  to  find  linattho

AAMS  OF  THE  FAMILT  OF  MAR,  ETa 
(4""  S.  V.  236.)

,h«  outaet  it  may  be  mentioned  that  the 

y.i..  _i. -  t,__jygjjj  ^jjg  books  to  the  hammer 

'••avoured  to  efVoce  everything 
to  the  discovery  of  the  family 


to  which  the  library  had  belonged.     In  the  older, 

volumed  the  autographs  of  the  KArI<)  of  Mar  wer^f 
I  cut  out.  One  or  two  of  the  book>platea  escaped' 
{  her  Tiorilant  evO'     Having  purchased  Aeveru  of 

the  Tolumes,  1  waa  bo  fortunate  as  to  acquire  a 

I  very   fiue    copy  of    the    rare   JRecueii  (if  Jjivers

,  AiUeura  [1173-14/3],  in  two  volumes,  printed  at 

Ley  den  1729,  4to — both  of  which  bud  tineimprob- 

oione  of  the  plate  of  Alloa  Tower,  '*  built  prior  to 

I  1315,"  pasted  on  the  front  board,  and  the  arms 

on  the  boiird  at  the  end. 

The  family  of  Erskino  was  of  considerable  an- 
tiquity in  Scotland,   and  had  become   Lords  of 
Parliament  there  at  an  early  date.     At  a  later 
periud    Kobert    Lord    Ki-.skine    repreoented    the 
heiress  of  line  of  the  still  more  ancient  race  of 
De  Mar,  who  were  earls  prior  to  Malcolm  Can- 
more,  a  di*>;nity  inherited  by  a  regular  succession 
of  earlsj  which  terminated  in  the  direct  mole  line 
on  the  death  of  Eixrl  Thomas  in  1377,  when  his 
title   and  domaioB  passed  to  his  siiiter  Margaret 
Counteas  of  Mnr  in  her  own  right,  the  wife  of 
William  first  Earl  of  Douglas,  who,  jure  cttria^ 
liiafif,   became  Earl  of  Mar.     Of  this  marriage 
there  were  a  son  James  and  a  daughter  Isttbella, 
who  upon  the  death  of  her  brother,  the  second 
Karl  of  Douglas  and  Mar,  at  Otterburn  in  1388, 
became  Counteu  of  Mar.     She  was  twice  mar- 
ried ;  first  to  Sir  Malcolm  Drummond,  and  secondly 
to    Alexander  Stewart  —  n  bastard    son    of  the 
Wolf  of  Badenoch— of  whom,  as  **tho  robber" 
oarl,  aomo  account  has   already  been  given    in 
"  N.  &  Q."     By  the  courteay  of  Scotland  he  in 
riffht  of  his  wile  became  Karl  of  Mar,  and  sur- 
vived the  countess,  who  had  no  fumily  by  either 
of  her  husbands.    He  died  either  in  14^0  or  1430. 

On  his  death  the  right  to  the  honours  and 
estates  passed  to  heir  of  line,  Robert  Erskine 
of  Omtney,  Earl  of  Mar,  and  Christian  sister  of 
King  Robert  the  Bruce.  He  took  the  necessary 
means  to  establish  his  title  and  oasumed  the  enrf- 
dom;  but  the  Mnr  possessions  were  too  valuable 
to  be  allowed  by  the  crown  to  pass  to  the  lawful 
beir,  and,  under  an  invalid  deed  by  Alexander, 
the  robber  earl,  iu  favour  of  James  I.  of  Scot- 
land, they  were  retained  for  upwards  of  a  cen- 
tury and  a  half;  when,  by  an  act  of  justice,  Mary 
Queen  of  Scots  and  her  parliament  recognised  the 
claims  of  John  Lord  Erskine,  who  became  Earl  of 
Mot  as  the  heir  of  line  of  the  ancient  earls,  and 
as  the  next  beir  of  Isabella,  in  her  own  right 
Countess  of  Mar.  Thus  the  earldom  of  Mar  and 
the  baionv  of  Erskine  were  held  by  the  heir  of  the 
latter,  aslieir  female  of  the  former. 

The  Earl  of  Mar  was  Regent  of  Scotland; 
and  after  bis  demise,  his  son  and  successor  had 
his  rights  confirmed  bv  the  king  and  parliament, 
and  the  two  separate  honours  continued  in  male 
possessors  until  the  forfeiture  of  John  Earl  and 


fM 


titular  Duke  of  Miir  for  bis  pRrtidpntinn  in  the 
rebellion  of  1715^  Hia  lordftoip  wrm  twice  mor- 
lied.  By  his  first  countess  he  had  n  son  TbmnM, 
usuntly  called,  notwithstanding-  the  forfeilon?, 
Lord  Krslcine  ;  who  surrived  his  fnthor,  but  di**d 
wilhout  issue  on  March  U>,  17<M3:  and  by  hia 
second  wifp,  Lndy  Frances  Piorpoint,  a  dnughter 
I^dy  Fr.mcefl,  wno  in  this  manner  bccamo  heir 
of  line  of  tho  nncient  rftce  of  De  Mar. 

Thu  Httainted  cftrl  had  a  brutlier  James,  known 
in  Sootlund  by  the  title  of  Lord  Gnui;fe,  ns  a 
jud^o  of  the  Court  of  Session,  and  subs*,'nuenlly 
lis  a  political  opponent  of  Sir  Robert  Wiilpolo. 
His  third  but  nltiinately  eldest  surviTinpr  son 
Jaraos,  who  on  the  death  of  his  con»in  Thomas 
bccamt)  heJr  m;0*?  of  Iho  family*  married  hU 
cousin  Lady  Fmncps,  and  wa-s  by  her  the  father 
of  John  Francis  KiaUin'S,  restored  in  1>*24. 

The  anna  prs^orved  on  the  boards  of  the  book 
previously  mentioned  appear  to  bavo  been  en- 
graved between  170Unnd  1770.  In  plnce  of  being 
quartered  lu  thny  bad  been  prior  to  the  forfeiture, 
tney  were  separate :  tb«  one  bearing  an  carr» 
coronetf  and  the  other  a  bnron'a. 

Now,  Bccordini?  to  Mr.  Oeorjre  Erskyn,  the 
baron  baillie  of  Alloa,  who  held  bis  appoiutment 
from  tho  attainted  peer,  and  who  prepared  a 
genenlo<;ncal  account  of  the  fiinnly  of  Mar,  still 
existing:  in  MS.  in  the  Mar  charter  chest  — 

"TLe  EatIo  of  Mar's  coat  armor  is  blazoned  qnarferly 
thus,  viz.  1  iitid  4  itr.  a  bend  Uetvrist  G  arner-rrixfleU 
fiubio  oTt  u*  the  coat  uf  tho  uld  Karluii  of  Mnr ;  'i  and  3  or, 
a  pale  aa.  as  the  paternal  cottt  ofErskine  ;  andforliin  crett 
a  dextrr  hnnd  iintper,  holding  a  nkem  ar.  biltod  aud 
|i')tnn)pltcd  ttr,  yiipported  on  tlirdexU-r  by  n  Lvon  Ham- 
pant  17K.  iinU  0:1  the  BtniMer  a  Griffon  ar.  tringt-d,  tj<^ke<].

rias'and  tu  a  cojKirtment  below  LhcM  wurda,  *  Vaiooe 
Fortior.'" 

Such  were  the  arms  of  the  rebel  earl  as  n»;d 
by  him  and  his  predecessors.  Whereas  by  the 
separation  of  the  characters  of  heir  of  line  from 
that  of  heir  mjle,  Lady  Frances,  no  doubt  aa  pro- 
perly advisfd.  disjoined  tho  anus  of  ^fAr  from 
the  arms  of  Krslane,  and  placed  them  disunited 
upon  a  lar^e  shield,  firing  tho  *'  .Mars  "  one  linn 
as  a  auppoiter,  and  the  "Erskincs"  one  griffin, 
preserving;  bith  mr)ttoes,  but  omittiiijr  the  creat. 

This  shield  is  suspended  by  a  ribbon  from  a 
branch,  which   is  represented  as  BprinifiD*;  from  | 
tho  base  of  an  ancient  tree. 

The  omission  of  a  crest  shows  that  these  were  ] 
tho  arms  of  a  female  in  her  own  rijiht,  and 
the  earl'a  coronet  over  the  Mnr  arms,  and  th« 
banm*8  coronet  over  that  of  the  Erskines  shows 
her  ladyship's  belief  that  both  tho  honours  dejure 
would  have  appertained  to  her,  but  for  the  for- 
feiture of  her  hither. 

The  time  of  her  ladyship  making  this  chimge 
must  have  been  after  the  death  of  her  brother  the 


titular  Lord  Erskioe  in  174tO,  wbea  •! 
bini  in  hi^  real  and  perscmal  ertist^  an 
she  was  the  wife  of  her  couaia  Jamo* 
who  eventually  bocoaio  in  1774  heir  n.ul 
families.     I^ady  Frances  die<i  177 
one  son  John  Francis,  who  in  iN- 
narrativo  of  hia  being  heir  of  line  (uot  boix 
roNtored  to  tho  earldom  of  Mar  only. 

The  arms  and  book-plate  of  the  Townr 
Alloa  must  consequently  ha^e  been  engrcviid 
tween  tlie  year  17t30,  when  L^dy  FnuieM  ••&• 
ceeded  her  brother,  and  the  period  of  her  deatb,  tm 
years  aflerwai\ls.  The  recnrds  of  the  Lyai  OIB» 
would  prove  probably  when  the  altf ration  irai 
allowed,  and  a  further  inquiry  after  178d,  vB«ft 
James  Erskine  died,  uiieht  show  if  fluhi«q«aalitr

the  company,  were  afterwards  encaped  by  Dave- 
nant  for  Lincoln's  Inu  Theatre.  SirW.  Davennnt^s 
company  do  not  appear  to  have  played  in  public 
until  that  building  wns  ready  for  them,  but  tbey 
reheftrsed  nnd  prepared  their  performances  nt 
Apothecaries'  Hall.  The  King's  company,  on  the 
coutrsrv,  gathered  together  from  the  *•  scattered 
reranant  *'  of  the  six  phiyhoiises  which  exi^«d  at 
the  time  of  Charles  1.,  p'layed  at  the  "Bull**  (in 
St.  John  Street),  nnd  at  a  new  h<»u*e  they  built  in 
Gibbon's  Tennis  Court  in  Clare  .Market.  It  waa

here  from  hWK)  to  early  in  10(W;  when  tbey  re- 
moved to  Drury  Lane. 

In  1B82  both  companies  united,  but  separated 
again  in  IGfTi,  when  a  new  theatre,  imder  a  license 
from  King  TA'illisni.  was  huiU  "  within  the  Tennis 
Court  in  Lincoln's  Inn  I'ields."  It  is  thia 
theatre — the  third  in  that  locality — that  is  re- 
ferred lo  by  Cibber  in  your  correspondent's  ex-

for  Low^  which  was  so  successful  that  a  share  in 
tlie  theatre  was  given  to  the  author  in  conaideim-

(4**  S.  T.  3(J0.) 
Your  correspondent  has  evidently  not  seen 
Flrmin  Didot's  work  on  French  orthography,  the 
second  odiiion  of  whicb,  an  8vo  volume  of  480 
page*,  wft»  published  in  18C8.  This  work  treats 
the  -wbolt*  subject  of  French  spelling,  inchidiug 
the  rarioiia  reforms  proposed  nrom  the  Hftecntn 
century  downwnrda;  but  contAina  no  reference  to 
D*Alembert,  who  nppeara  to  have  desired  to  re- 
store the  ancient  orthography.  M.  Didot  should 
SCO  to  this,  in  view  of  another  edition  of  his  xaxy 
interesting  book.  I  cannot,  however,  touch  fur- 
ther on  M.  Didot*8  omissions,  which  may  be  more 
numeroua  still  than  they  appear  to  be;  but  I 
should  like  very  much  to  take  the  opportunity  of 
referring  to  two  most  singular  blunders  which  he 
be  has  committed  in  reference  to  old  French.  Ue 
quotes  for  a  special  purpose  a  paseago  from  the 
Anglo-Norman  poetess  Marie  de  France  &8  fol- 
low!: — 

*'  Kn  U  vile  out  aac  obcic* 

Durcment  riche  c  gamie; 

Mud  Mcienl  [mu'mcMvaiit]  nnneinsy  ot  [eut]

Tbe  bracketed  words  are  intended  as  explana- 
tions; but  two  out  of  the  Ibroe  examples  servo 
latber  to  hinder  than  to  help  the  reader. 

On  the  first  couplet  no  comment  ia  needed 
except  to  explain  that  duremmt  means  "  exceed- 
ingly"; but  I  have  no  difficulty  in  saying  tbut 
mun  ^scient  has  not  the  remotest  connection  with 
moine  savant;  and  that  kis  does  not  mean  qui  se 
(which  would  involve  the  idea  that  the  abbess 
took  care,  not  of  the  nuns,  but  of  herself),  but  ia 
a  contraction  of  qui  Ua — a  contraction  similar  to 
that  of  «  (for  cjt  «■«)  in  the  archaic  formula  baehc' 
lier-es'lettreB,  As  to  the  ftirmer  instftnce,  viun 
esciait  ia  more  usually  written  with  u  before  it, 
and  then  means  "to  my  knowledge,  aa  for  as  I 
know  "  ;  bnt  the  meaning  ia  the  same  without 
the  preposition.  The  explanation,  then,  of  this 
phrase,  which  is  by  no  means  rare,  by  "  a  learned 
monk,"  is  surely  one  of  the  "  Curiosities  of  Liter- 
attire."  J.  Patitk. 

Kildare  Gardens. 

One  of  the  first  proposers  of  a  change  in  French 
orthography  wfus  Jncques  Dubois,  better  known 
as  Sylvius,  who  published  a  work  on  the  subject 
in  1631 ;  and  he  was  followed  in  154-5  by  I^uls 


Meigrot,  who  foonded  a  school  of  neogrvphaim 
called  after  him  "  Meigreitistea." 

Although  the  number  of  those  who  hjave  un- 
suceessfully  attempted  to  alter  Eugliah  ortJio- 
graphy  is  great,  I  believe  that  the  number  *»f 
Frenchmen  who  have  set  themselves  to  tho  t*«k 
of  improving  French  spelling  is  greater,  and  a 
mere  list  of  their  attempts  would  occupy  many 
pages  of  *'  N.  &  Q."  In  both  countries  oonwoir 
tbe  greatest  men  have  been  dc»roua  for  a  iifUuf 
atic  change.  In  England,  among  others^  mvy  ba 
mentionod  Sir  John  Cheke,  t?ir  Thomu  Snutl^t 
Ben  Jonson,  Milton,  Blihoo  Wilkins,  Pryden, 
Waller,  Evelyn,  Jsmes  Howell,  Swift,  nud  trank- 
lin :  and  in  France,  Ronsard,  Robert  Staphro*, 
Comeille,  Racine,  Bossuet,  Feo^lon,  M<■ntAipI:^ 
and  Voltaire.  The  various  erhemes  of  the  ortljt>-

public  attention  to  the  anomalies  of  the  exi?til»£ 
system,  and  some  of  tbe  proposed  chjinges  to«

due  to  the  distinguished  literary  coterie  who  OWt 
at  the  famous  Hotel  de  UambouiUet,  and  to  it

Marxcm  Hole  (4»'*  S.  v.  341.)  —  Probably 
Lower  Marnham  near  Tuxford,  lying  south-west 
of  its  vilihers,  gets  the  credit  of  originating  all 
tha  rain  a  south-weat  wind  brings.  In  I^yland 
hundred  in  I^ncashire,  "  Busco  hole  *'  is  spoken 
of  in  exactly  the  same  way,  and  Buracough,  the 
place  intended,  also  lies  to  "the  snuth-west.  It  U 
curious  that  in  both  cases  "  Hole  *'  seems  to  be 
added  in  a  kind  of  revenge  for  the  bad  weather.

And  again,  in  speaking  of  Paris  (iZ.  lit.  30), bs 
refers  to  his  beauty  and  misfortuues : — 

"  Unfortunate  ParLi,  faireal  ia  fonn,  in&taated  irJtk

Seneca  {llippoitftan^  line  620)  does  not  ign*

Galen  {Protr^yi.  c.  4)  attempts  to  give  a  prsNA

(Note,  vol.  iv.  p.  741)  Under  1G37  it  is  called 
"  Aran  of  the  Sainle."  It  was  also  celebrated  r<*  the 
residence  of  St.  Eudeus  and  a  multitude  of  holy

Swiss  Boy's  Song  (4'"  S.  v.  381.)— About  fif- 
teen years  ago  we  had  a  French  bonne^  who  wa« 
very  musictil,  and  used  to  sing  for  us  children  all 
sorts  of  songs,  the  "  Swiss  Boy "  amoog  the 
number.  I  forget  the  words  except  the  fol- 
lowing : — 

"  Quand  j'ai  parti  de  mon  pays, 
Tas  pluit  baut  nu'une  Iwtte, 
Mon  p^rc  m'a  doand  quatro  sou-s 
Ma  m6re  une  culotte, 
Avec  que  mi. 
Avec-quo  ma, 
Avec-que  ma  marmolte  en  vie. 
**  Ma  marmottc  a  mal  au  pied, 
11  lui  fnut  un  cmplatre. 
(jucl  cmpidtre  y  mcttrmis-noai  ? 
Un  emplatre  Oe  fiatade. 

Avcc-quc  mi,"  etc. 

The  chorus  or  "  refrain "  I  remember  per- 
fectly. It  never  struck  me  as  being  other  than 
quite  intelligible,  meaning  that  when  he  left  his 
native  village  his  rtiarmotte  wa.<  alive.  Unfor- 
timatcly  our  old  hottne  died  last  October,  or  I 
would  have  procured  the  entire  song.  If  J. 
Manuel  would  like  the  air,  I  ran  copy  it  from 
memory.  It  is  very  simple  and  pretty.  The  air 
of  '*  Buy  a  broom  "  is  well  known  in  Germany 
imder  the  title  of  "  Liobcr  Aiu^ustin."

all.  The  women,  by  a  epecinl  military  commis- 
Bion  with  the  did  of  a  jury,  were  found  guilty  of 
Bcdition  and  treaaon.  1  he  sentence  ordenogthein 
to  be  drowned  was  cruel  but  military,  and  might 
long  Ago  have  Ruppe.sted  the  triw  facta.  There  ia 
no  doubt  the  women  wero  taken  down  to  the  sen 
and  put  into  it,  but  there  is  a^  little  doubt  it  wa« 
ju«t  tn  give  them  a  ducking,  and  strike  terror  in 
tbe  country.  The  ducking  over,  the  women  were 
taken  out;  indeed  it  ia  even  confessed  by  tho^e 
claiming  for  them  the  houotr-*  of  martyrdom,  the 
younger  one  (Wilson)  was  r.j  taken  out  Aflcr- 
wnrdH  they  were  carried  to  Kdinbur^'h,  reprieved 
on  their  own  petiiion  by  the  privy  council,  and 
tiiere  is  no  doubt  uUimntely  set  at  libertv.  Thin 
fimple  view  of  the  subject  reconciles  iLe  wftoh 
tcidvnce  ou  both  sidea.  It  shows  on  itpparatt 
drowning,  then  a  remiaaioo,  and  estublishes  the 
truth  of  Sir  George  Mackenzie's  iufereutial  denial 
that  any  martyrdom  took  place  at  Wigtown.

As  a  "  pendant "  to  Captjun  Burton's  etory  in  Jonah 
Harrington's  Personal  ^ftiichei  of  his  own  TimeSf 
of  whi^  I  see  Messrs.  Koulledge  nave  juut  brought 
out  a  new  edition  (I  have  not  ih«  bouk  at  hand 
to  give  volume  and  page),  there  is  an  account 
of  an  Iri&h  mower,  who,  as  he  wtia  going  to  work 
carrying  his  scvthe  over  his  shoulder,  saw  a  salmon 
lying  under  the  bank  of  a  river,  and  trying  to 
"prod  "  it  with  the  handle  of  his  scythe,  brought 
the  bbide  of  it  down  with  such  force  on  his  neck 
as  to  decapitate  himself.  W.  T.  T.  D. 

No  writer  on  this  subject  in  "N.  »^  Q."  ap- 
pear* to  have  taken  notice  of  the  tru«  difference 
between  the  French  invention  and  tho  Maiden, 
and  nil  otlier  mechanicid  coutrivani'ea  of  the  same 
kind.  It  consists  in  the  form  of  the  axe  or  knife, 
which  has  a  alaiiting  edge  instead  of  a  korizmital 
one,  Ihyrcbv  giving  .i  drawing  instead  ot  a  chop- 
ping cut,  the  former  by  far  the  more  ellectuul. 
This  was  the  real  improvement.

PKESBrTEtt, 

Cbbsts  (i""  a  V.  32,  08,  184,  286.)  —  Being  a 
few  days  ago  in  the  uiterosting  little  church  of 
Mickleham,  which Uesntthafaotof  one  of  the  North 
Downs  in  the  ueighbourhood  of  Leatherhead,  I  was 
remiuded  of  a  certain  dlscus^on  which  has  beeu 
going  on  iu  "  N.  &  *i."  by  the  sight  of  an  object 
uxed  above  the  chancel  arch.  This  was  a  helmet 
gurmounted  by  a  crest  From  below  the  vlxor 
projected  a  banner  emblazoned  with  the  arms  of 
some  member  of  the  Hydolfe  family.  This  I  found 
out  both  by  questlomng  an  old  womnn  who  was 
cleaning  the  church  and  by  lifting  up  the  mat- 
ting which  covered  the  chancel  pavement,  upon 
one  of  the  slabs  of  which  I  found  engrnven  anus 
similar  to  those  worked  upon  the  banner,  and  an 
ioBcripLion  to  the  etiect  that  beneath  lio  the 
mnrtal  remains  of  Sir  Francis  Hydolfe,  Kot.,  oh. 
1666. 

The  cret^t,  as  far  oa  I  couIU  make  out,  was  of 
pointed  wood,  and  represented  the  head  of  some 
animal  *'eraaed,"  as  heralds  say.  Whethep  the 
creature  wa.s  intended  for  a  dog,  wolf,  or  boar,  1 
cannot  say;  hut  it  certuiuly  was  not  Llie  kind  of 
dog  tonued  "  talbot,"  as  the  ears  wero  erect  and 
not  drooping.  Not  being  well  versed  in  heraldry 
I  ciinuot  describe  the  helmet  mortjT  closely  than  , 
by  stating  that  it  was  a  simple  globular  casqua, 
furnished  with  a  vizor,  aa  far  as  I  could  sae,  not 
perforated. 

As  this  was  the  first  time  that  I  hnd  seen  a 
veritable  crest  upon  n  helmet,  I  wa«  much  in- 
terested, and  it  is  with  tho  hope  that  more  cer- 
tain informatioa  may  be  furnisned  by  some  one 
learned  in  heraldry,  archieology,  or  the  history  of 
the  llvdolfe  family,  that  I  contribute  this  note  to 
the  pages  of '*N.  &  Q."

ABTLBr  XIounK,  Maiostoxk.  —  This  intcrcjtUng  ex- 
ample of  the  domestic  archilectors  of  tlie  seventeenth 
century  is  now  being  rapidly  destroyed.  The  sifo  has 
be*n  required  for  a  new  poit-offiif,  and  in  spitu  of  everv 
sugi^etttion  that  spucu  could  be  found  for  the  new  roonu

becoming  rare.  ThoMi  wbo  are  familiar  with  the  well* 
known  house  in  Ipswich,  or  even  with  theqnaint  fruiitage 
of  Taul  Pindar's  bouse  in  Bishopsgate  Sireet,  will  appre- 
ciate the  picturesque  appearance  of  Astley  House.  J:ln- 
tering  the  High  Street,  Maidstone,  froin  ibv  Kailway

appropriated  to  a  pott-trfHoa  ihoald  be  this  interesting 
rulicu  Kxerlions  have  not  bron  spared  on  its  behalf,  but 
they  liHve  prnvorl  to  be  ineffeotual.  Applii-atlons  were

the  foUowing  scheme : — 

For  the  consonantn  there  is  very  \v'

TH  on,  S  Z,  SIl  ZH,  R,  L,  M,  :

not  before  a  vowel,  and  I  propose  lc 
such  ctawA,     Whole  regions  of  dialects

for  almost  all  purposes,  and  1  will  not  tioui 
with  more,  except  tliM  common  verj-  dcQt«l 
The  vowels  are  the  diiEculty. 

The  large  capital  letters  in  bEEt, 
cAUt,   cOAi..  cOOl;    kjiIt.  kEt, 
kUt,  point  out  eleven  vowels  distinctly, 
provincial  speakers  have  to  be  warned  t& 
of  tliem,  and  it  is  particularly  to  be  s 
any  one  may  he  anori  as  well  as  long, 
vowels  need  only  he   distinguished  ia 
syllables,  and  I  find  it  best  to  mark  ths 
by  a  turned  period  (•),  placed  immediMdj 
the  long  vowel,  and  immediately  after  *' 
sonant  foUowing  a  short  vowel,  as  Awi 
month,  augu9't  the  adjective.     As  a  fteoonl 
do  not  write  the  accent  when  it  falU  on  ti» 
syllable  of  a  word,  or  on  a  monosyllable,  urf** 
is  of  importance  to  note  the  quantitr.    I>

as  always  short   unless  otherwise  marm

most  canvenient  to  represent  by  TO,  vklcb 
gests  nothing  else,  and  is  made  up  of  the* 
tions. 

But  these  twelve  vowela  are  not  nesil/ 
proviocially.     I  find  that  at  least  sevoa 
necessary,  and  I  use  A  E  for  the  bmad  lou 
German  a,  and  French  i ;  AH  for  th* 
sound  of  CM  common  in  Scotch;  AO  for  the

Varieties  are  sn  marked  and  cbaracteriiitic,  that  all 
who  can  should  write  them  systematicall}*.  For 
this  purpose  be  careful  never  to  use  Y,  W,  for  the 
final  vowel  in  the  above  «,  oi,  ou^  eu,  even  at  the 
end  of  a  word,  but  keep  Y,  \\'  as  the  ee  and  oo 
lolements  of  systematic  aiphLhongs,  of  which  the

EEd  Devonshire  there  is  a  pronunciation  of  ou,

The  word  hike,  referred  to  V  Mr.  AxjtiKSOif, 
is  in  use  on  the  Scottish  Borifers,  as  "A  wasp 
bike,"  or  '*  A  bummy  bike" — the  latter  referring 
to  the  nest  of  the  humble  bee.  It  is  also  applied 
in  the  phrase,  "  I'll  skail  the  bike  o'ye,"  When 
referring  to  a  bee-hive,  the  word  skttp  is  always 
used.  The  «/:«p  may  be  either  the  hive  itself,  or 
the  coverinf^i  which  contuns  it.  The  person  who 
assists  in  niving  is  said  to  be  "skepin  the  bees." 
We  sometimes  hear  the  word  used  in  such  a 
phrase  as  "Hae  ye  got  the  bairns  skepit  ?  "  that  ia, 
are  they  in  bed.  So  that  the  word  may  be  used 
either  oa  a  noun  or  a  verb. 

Fet/f  or  Jie,  is  an  old  word  nearly  out  of  uae. 
A  pordon  near  death  is  said  to  be  fet/t  as  "  the 
body's  fey,"  meaning  that  be  has  acted  in  an 
extraordinary  manner,  not  at  all  in  keeping  with 
his  character,  such  an  act  portending  death. 

"  Thole-a-wee  "  is  an  old  phrase  full  of  mean- 
ing. It  implies  patience,  forbearance,  ond  endur- 
ance ;  and  may  be  rendered  **  Bear- a- while," 
although  the  latter  by  no  mcona  convoys  the  full 
moaning.  B.  I.

I  choose  to  believe  that  the  Caledoniona  never 
were  displaced,  that  their  contUcta  with  the  Danes 
were  not  between  Celt  and  Teuton,  but  between 
the  earlier  Scandinavian  8>et  tiers,  and  their  in- 
vaders the  Northmen,  with  whom  they  owned  a 
common  origin ;  and  that  the  occupants  of  the 
Scottish  mainland  then, as  at  present,  were  radically 
none  other  than  port  and  parcel  of  *'  that  great 
people  "  who,  &n  we  learn  from  Gibbon,  **  after- 
wanls  broke  the  Roman  power,  sacked  the  Capitol,

the  Picta  were  of  Gothic  origin  appears  to  me  the 
theory  of  Light  agaiust  darkuees,  the  acceptance 
of  plain  facts  against  the  perversion  of  all  testi- 
mony; the  only  conclusion  that  fuliils  the  condi-

It  lias  been  boldtj  assorted  thnt  tbe  Uzigun9|t)  of 
Scotlund,  In  the  mini ' -f  Malcolm  Ctmmor,  "  king, 
court,  and  people,  IliglUand  aud  Lowlaud,  except 
a  narrow  alip  of  sea-coast,  was  Ce.Uic  or  Gaelic  " ; 
which,  hoffdver^  \a  merely  the  echo  of  an  opinion 
ftet  fonh  br  Verstegan,  and  wholly  iinsuppori«d 
by  Auy  kind  of  evidence. 

There  arc  luiquefitioaably  two  lon^nugea  in 
North  Ijritaia,  in  pTAmmAtical  coDstrucdon  radi- 
cally distinct :  the  J^towiand,  or  vernacular  Scotch, 
formed  independently  like  the  English,  without 
any  element  of  Ci*ltic ;  nnd  the  CJiielic  speech  of 
the  mountaineer,  moulded  into  a  written  language 
within  a  comparatively  recent  period,  and  beflrin^ 
a  close  oHinity  to  the  Manx — the  Celtic  element 
in  both  ca^Qca  being  proportionately  uverlttid  with 
the  ifmguago  of  the  old  N'orwe^an  immigmnta  by 
whom  tho  native  Cclta  were  surrounded,  and  into 
whose  ranlca,  as  an  inferior  people,  without  a 
writteu  tongues-doubtless  aa  serfs  and  bondsmen 
^-they  Were  erentually  absorbed. 

Mr.  rionche,  in  ftlluaion  to  tho  early  hwtory  of 
IrebiDd,  informa  ua  upon  the  authority  of  Tncitus, 
and  '•  on  every  evidence,  historical  or  tradi- 
tional.*' of  "  the  introduction  at  some  voir  remote 
Seriod,  either  by  conquest  or  colonisation,  of  a 
istinct  race  from  ita  orii^anal  inhabitduts;  a  fact," 
he  eays,  "  which  is  substantiated  by  the  marked 
distinction  etill  existing  in  the  persooB  and  com- 
plexion^  of  the  pea^antiT  of  the  eastern  and  mid- 
land difllrict^i"  who  exnibit  "  the  blue  eyes  and 
flaxen  hair  characteristic  of  all  the  Scythic  or 
German  tribes." 

_  Thomson  says  "it  in  well  known  that  erer 
since  tho  earliest  ages  of  our  history  adventurers 
from  tho  shores  of  Scandinavia  inside  annual  ex- 
cursions Into  Ireland  and  Scotland  to  plunder 
cattle  for  their  winter  subsistence."  These  Gothic 
freebooters  were  called  Scots  from  tho  natiu^  of 
their  visits — n  name  which,  it  is  not  ditGcuIt  to 
believtj,  may  have  had  its  ori^iu  in  the  Gothic 
Skot,  Icel.  Skaiti,  "tributum  exigere."  The  Irish, 
wo  are  told,  still  understand  Scuite  "  as  a  wan- 
derer or  piUager."  Wheaton  tells  us  that  in  852 
all  the  northern  adTcnturera  in  Ireland  submitted 
to  the  King  of  Scandinavia,  who  "levied  tribute 
on  tlte  natives  " — a  practice  to  which,  iu  tho  view 
of  previous  exactions,  is  probably  to  be  ascribed 
tbe  name  Scotland,  at  one  time  applied  to  Ire- 
land, afterwards  to  Scotland  itself,  us  an  etFect  of. 
the  like  cause. 

The  editor  of  Tfie  AthmuBum^  reviewing  Mr.

the  plan  of  the  Uegister  (which  is  followed  by  an

century.  WilliDm  nnd  Elizabeth  Kicketson.  the 
former  of  whom  died  in  1601,  are  the  earliest  of 
my  name  on  reconl  here.  They  were  probably  bora 
in  England.  I  hiive  hoard  of  the  name,  spelled

SIR  WALTER  SCOTT'S  SOXG  OX  LOUD 
MELVnJ^S  TRIAU 
(4"S.  V.  173,332.) 

My  authority  for  statingr  that  Sir  Waltpr  wrote 
thia  Aoufi;  ia  that  of  his  biographer,  Mr.  Ijockhart. 
When  the  Zji/e  uraa  publiahed  containing  no  allu- 
fdon  to  it,  I  used  the  freedom  to  send  a  copy  to 
Mr.  Lockh&rt,  and  had  his  rnply  etiitin^  that  ho 
hod  previouidy  seen  it,  and  that  it  wua  Sir  Wal- 
ter a  prjduclion.  This  occurred  thirty-throe  yeoxs 
ago,  and  I  cannot  now  find  Mr.  Lockhart's  letter, 
for  the  aubject  waH  of  little  interest :  and  as  there 
was  then  no  publication  Hlce  "  N.  &  Q."  in  which 
it  could  conveniently  bo  noticed,  I  put  the  letter 
aaide  and  bad  dropped  all  thoughts  of  it,  when  it 
waa  lately  recallea  to  my  memory  by  mere  ac- 
cident, and  it  aeemed  to  be  worth  while  to  pre- 
aerve  the  lines  in  qoeadon. 

Hr.  Lockhart*8  reason  for  his  silence  on  the 
matter  is  very  obrioua.  Of  course  he  could  not 
avoid  nil  allusion  to  Lord  Melville's  trial  and  Six 
Walters  appearancea  on  that  occasion,  but  he 
sftya  they  were  over  jubilant,  and  gave  offence  to 
roapected  friends.  lie  would  naturally,  thero- 
fore,  feel  no  wish  to  aov  more  about  them. 

Lord  Campbell's  reference  to  his  nuthoritiefl 
was  sometimes  very  lax,  to  one  instance  of  which 
I  cao  speak  personally.  In  his  Life  of  Lord 
LmtffJihoroHah  (Hist  edition')  he  said  that  it  was 
doubtful  whether  his  lordanip  was  bom  in  Edin- 
burgh or  at  a  houae  some  miles  from  it  in  the 
country,  but  that  '*  the  evidence  for  the  rural  birth 
prodominnted."  Now  T  aent  him  a  copy  of  the 
entry  of  the  birth  in  the  pariah  register  of  Edin- 
burgh, showing  distinctly  that  tbo  birth  took 
place  in  Edinburgh,  and  he  corrected  his  second 
edition  accordingly.  Uo  had  not  troubled  him- 
self to  look  at  80  ol)vious  a  source  of  iuformatioa. 

The  omission  in  the  Parliamentary  Roporta  of 
any  notice  of  the  scene  in  the  Tlouse  of  Lords  ia 
not  eaaily  accoanted  for,  but  that  id  negative  evi- 
dence at  the  best,  and  it  cannot  be  supposed  that 
a  atatemont,  widely  circnlated  and  containing  the 
names  uf  the  different  actors  in  that  scene,  woold, 
if  untrue,  not  have  been  contradicted.  The  fol- 
lowing, which  1  quote  from  I^ord  Melville's  ad- 
dress to  the  House  of  Commons,  delivered  with 
their  sanction  on  June  11,  180(5  (Howell's  State 
TriaU,  p.  5f)0  et  mg.),  baa  a  clear  reference  to  this 
matter  generally.     The  passage  is  too  long  to  be 

? noted  in  full,  and  I  connne  my  quotation  to  what 
f>llow8 :  — 

"  It  appeant  iocredtblo  that  thesa  high  and  honcmrablo

might  be  called  on  to  perfanzL*'— See  p.  591. 

As  to  the  doggral  which,  in  your  cocretpond-

DIBDIS'S  MS9^  FAMILY.  ETC. 
(4»*  8,  IT.  3o»,  488,571 ;  v.  21,  154,  163,201.) 

A  long  and  severe  illness  has  prevented  my 
sooner  noticing  the  communicatioD  of  Liou.  1. 
Having  peijard,  however,  to  one  of  the  main  oh- 
jecU  of  "  N.  &  Q." — vir.  to  elicit  the  real  facts  of 
all  matters  di(»ciifl»ed  in  its  pages,  I  hope  1  niay, 
oven  now,  he  permitted  t<>  otTer  a  few  remarks  on 
Liou.  F.*8  sUUementd.  He  is  quite  wrong  in  sup- 
posing that,  because  Dibdin  died  in  possession  of 
the  government  aannity  of  200i,  the  writer  of  the 
sketch  in  the  OefU/eman^s  Magazine  for  1616,  to 
which  he  refers,  made  an  erroneous  statement  in 
respect  to  its  discoutinuance,  and  the  consequent 
public  subscription.  The  annuity  of  200/.  allowed 
Dv  goTumrnent  to  Dibdin  was  withdrawn  in  or 
aDout  I  SOU  by  the  ministry  of  Lord  Grenville. 
Dibdin  thereupon  exerted  himself  to  repair  the 
loss  of  income,  and  with  that  object  opened  a 
music'shop  in  the  Strand.  The  speculation,  how- 
ever, proved  unHuccosfiful ;  Dibdin  sustained  heavy 
losses,  was  declared  bankrupt,  and  reduced  to  a 
state  of  great  embarrassment.  These  circum- 
stances were  set  forth  in  a  memoir  of  Dibdin  in 
the  Eitropean  Maifoztiie  for  1800,  and  an  appeal 
made  for  public  a^ststauce  to  hioL.  This  resulted  in 
a  subscription,  mainly  promoted  by  the  Earl  of 
Dartmouth,  being  entered  into  for  his  relief^  which 
amounted  to  6<>3/.  10«.  2d.,  and  which  it  was 
proposed  to  invest  in  the  purchase  of  au  annuity 
torDlbdin's  life.  Ho,  however,  desired  that  the 
annuity  should  be  for  the  joint  lives  of  himself, 
his  wife,  and  his  daughter  Anne,  so  as  to  leave 
some  provibion  for  his  wife  and  daughter  after  Ms 
death  ;  and  accordingly  55 U.  (part  of  the  subscrip- 
tion) was  on  June  28,  1810,  laid  out  in  Long 
Annuities  producing  30/.  per  annum,  which  was 
placed  in  trust  for  Dibdin,  his  wife,  and  daughter 
successivelv.  A  sum  of  about  10/.  was  charged 
for  advertisements,  &c.,  and  the  balance  of  the 
subscription  (62/.  odd)  was  paid  over  to  Dibdin,

the  guillotine  of  all  parties  will  be  found  in  IliHori- 
calMecords  ofths  Prench  Revolution  byH.  Goude- 
metz,  Frenca  Clergyman  Emigrant  to  England. 
Translated  by  Rev.  Dr.  Randolph.  Bath,  1790. 
As  well  as  can  be  ascertained  by  the  nominal  list 
of  ^victims,  he  gives  830,  suffered  in  Paris ;  but 
this  does  not  include  large  numbers  given  in  gross, 
and  not  particularly  specified.  The  tirst  name  is 
Chevalier  do  Fnvras,  Knight  of  St  Louis,  1700,  but 
be  appears  to  have  Buffered  a  la  lanteme  and  not 
by  tho  guillotine ;  the  last,  that  of  Lo  Comte  de 
\iUeneuvc,  1795,  a  participator  in  the  Quiberon 
expedition ;  nor  does  it  include  the  vast  number 
guillotined  in  the  provinces. 

The  number  of  those  massacred  in  tho  Paris  pri- 
sons is  given  at  1 1 00.  The  number  of  the  members 
of  the  National  Convention  who  tried  Louis  XVI. 
and  afterwards  sufferrd  by  the  guillotine,  is  69.

KoMT.  Aim  Louis  XIV.  ( l»»  S.  v.  270,  300.)— 
I  read  the  ohaenatious  of  Mr,  HEjiRr  Cbosslet 
with  sorprise  and  regret:  siirpri.sc,  that  he  should 
so  nustue,  or  misrepresent,  tho  bearing  of  tho 
incident  referred  to;  and  ref»Tet,  deep  regret,  that 
he  should  make  remarks  calculated  to  wound  the 
feoUnirs  of  the  CsthoUc  readers  of  *'  X.  &  Q.,"nnd 
provoko  to  controversy.  He  well  knows  that 
controversy  is  inadniisaiblo  in  ita  pages;  and 
therefore  it  was  unfair  to  make  comments  which 
could  not  bu  di»cu8bed  in  these  pngetn.  But  I 
must  be  allowed  to  prvti^st  at  least  OKiunst  bis 
nawrtions.  The  nfl'air  between  the  Pope  and 
the  King  had  no  connexion  whatever  with 
the  question  of  the  Pope*s  infaUibility ;  but 
wau  merely  an  act  of  the  Pope  as  a  temporal 
sovereign,  for  which  Mr.  Crossi.et  must  know 
that  infallibility  is  not  claimed.  Why  then 
tlirow  out  the  unjust  taunt  that  tho  incident 
'^fuRUshea  a  curious  comment  on  those  preton- 
fliona  to  papal  infallibility,  which  are  to  bo  dia- 
CQSsed  at  tho  CouncU  now  sitting  at  Rome"}' 
"Whatever  may  be  the  decrees  of  the  Council, 
they  will  certainly  not  regard  the  Pope's  liability 
to  err  aa  a  temporal  {sovereign;  nor  did  "the 
niiit  of  a  Frenchman  overpower,"  or  in  any 
Mgree  affect  "  the  feeling  of  a  Catholic,''  as  Mb. 
Gkossxet  asserts,  in  Masaillon,  when  he  merely 
alluded  to  the  satisfaction  given  bv  one  temporal 
sovereign  fur  an  insult  oQered  to  tlie  amiiassador 
of  another.  It  was  an  effusion  of  patriotism, 
wholly  independent  of  any  religious  opinion  npon 
the  still  open  question  of  papal  infalUbiiity.

of  one  farm,  lAen  the  praperty  of  John  Lord 
Berkeley,  of  Strattoii.  I  hnd  by  local  inquiry 
thnt  it  still  belongs  to  the  Berki^leys  of  Berkeley 
Castle,  and  that  it  is  a  mistake  to  describe  it  as 
the  teat  of  the  Ute  Mr.  J.  H.  Tizaid,  though  he 


farmed  and  resided  on  the  estate  for 

previous  to  his  death,  a  bachelor,  n

tain  whether  he  or  his  ancestors

means  rare  or  equally  blessed 
comforts,  but  one  family  of  t1 
crest,  of  which  I  have  been  gii 
of  a  mural  crown  a  dexter  arm

Michaud'a  Biographic  umom^mlU,  Thia  republi- 
cation waa  to  include  the  original  text  of  thd 
Biographie^  and  al^o  the  artiolea  of  the  aupple- 
moot;  moreover,  all  the  Uvea  of  euiincut  meu 
who  had  cefia«d  to  live  aince  the  appearancG  of 
the  two  wurka.  The  first  volume  was  published 
in  164:2,  the  lost  iii  1405.  ^ro  the  new  editioa 
was  completed.  Both  papers  and  reviews  of  Pari* 
were  radiant  when  tbo  last  ^tone  vraa  laid,  and 
could  not  lind  terms  bcauliftd  enough  for  tho 
zcnl,  for  the  peri^everance  of  tbe  editors,  the  pub* 
liahero,  &c,  Lu  fact*  one  had  then  a  work  of  mgh 
Boiontitic  value.  Ihu  uuly  tliiuK  worth  objecting 
against  it  wiia  that  ihu  lirst  volumea  were  com- 
pletely antiquated  in  consequence  of  tbe  iasue 
liuviutf  lai^ted  too  long.  The  prioe  waa  beaidea 
something  monstrous.  'VVUilu  the  closely  printed 
volumea  of  the  excellent  jYw<tW/t*  Bioyntpftie  gi-

tu  pay  for  each  volume  of  Micliaud'a  new  edition, 
n&  edited  by  Thotffnier«De8plAces,  thrco  times  aft 
much,  therefore  twelve  franca.  The  nuuibcr  of 
volumes  in  thie  new  iaaue  is  ftirty-tive ;  accord- 
ingly the  original  co«l  price  fur  ihe  whule  work 
amounted  to  the  bandsDuio  tutul  of  540  tiuncs. 
Often  alrt^ady  1  had  thought  by  myself  that  a  new 
edition  with  tbo  necessary  emendations  and,  above 
all,  diminution  of  price  would  not  be  such  a  very 
bad  bfu-gaia.  X  was  accordingly  delightfully  sur-

Here,  in  fact,  the  object  of  my  dreams  was 
realised.  It  did  not  occur  to  me  to  doubt  of  thi« 
compilation  of  recommenilatious.  I  Wiia  convinced 
that  Messrs.  Delngravo  &  Co,  had  bought  the  copy-

now  waited  to  commence  AooHuJide  **new''  edi-

recommended  to  me  aa  honest  and  trustworthy, 
and  the  last  doubt  which  could  poabibly  remain 
wu«  removed  by  thiacommuaicatlon  :  '*  L'nuvrage

I  h&re  at  leut  the  ScJtatUnfr&ude  to  denoanoe  the 

mTBtificfttion.     AU  the  hubbub  about  '*  nouvelle

**  pret  pour  rimpreMion,'*  i^c,  U  deceitful,  to  use 
a  mild  term.     Tho  ''  nouvoUo  ^ditioa"  of  Moaflra. 
DeU^rave  &  C*  is  nolhinp;  more  nor  less  than  the 
*•  BouTelle  ^tiott  "  which,  in  1842— consequentJv 
twenty-eight  3*ear9  a^ — was  announctjd  aa  such 
bv  the  house  of  Thoianier-Deaplaces.    llewirs.  De- 
lagTQve  it  Co.  have  addod  absoUit^jly  nothing  to 
the  publication  of  the  last-named  gentleman.  The 
•igas  of  punctuation   hare  remained  intact,  the 
typographical  enors  likewise.      The  inner  title- 
page  and  the  coTer^  theae  are  the  only  now  things 
fc  the  "  new  edition."     Even  on  the  outer  title- 
page  these  gentlemen  from  the  "  Fue  dea  £colea" 
want  to  oxplftin  to  the  render,  with  really  nstoniah- 
ing  and  hopolesa  pertinacity,  that  white  must  be 
cnUed  black  after  all.     How  do  they  manage  this  ? 
Well,  in  the  "  aous-titre  "  of  the  edition  of  Thoia- 
nier-DespIaccs,  one  could  read  the  words:  "  Nou- 
YoUo  (Edition,  revue,  corrig6e  et  considtfrablement 
ment^e  d'arliclea  omia  ou  nouveaux."     In  ro- 
iting  this  without  alteration,  tht^  publishing 
,jOtifle  uf  DelagrATO  would  have  rendered  thom- 
Lfelrea  guilty  of  gross  misrepresentation.    Yet  this 
rrimplo  reproduction,  however  olTenave  it  would 
\\>G  in  itaelf^  wiu  not  suflicient  Vy  the  »chool-9tret.-t 
Ipentlemen.  They  resolved  on  introducing  between 
the  worda    "corrigtfe"   and    "consid^rablement 
augment«Se"  the  fallacJoua  (to  say  the  least  of  it) 
f''  continui^  jus  lu'u  nn?^  jours,"  while,  in  fnrjretting 
'to  print  1 870  unaemeath  the  name  of  the  pubUshprs, 
they  gave  to  "  nos  jours  "  the  passport  for  eternity. 
A  more  curious  and  scandalous  mystification  has 
aaldom  occurred  before.    My  article  is  long  enough 
already.    In  order,  however,  to  give  you  and  your 
readers  a  few  samples  of  what  I  here  advance,  so 
that  no  one  can  accuf^e  me  of  super ficialneas,  I  shall 
now  give  some  specimens  which  will  go  ao  for  as 
to  prove  that  tho ''new"  edition  of  Dolagrave  is 
perfectly  a  la  haxdatr  of  itsepoch — viz.  1842.  Such 
nAmes  as  Arago,  Achard,  kc.  are  of  course  not 
found  in  it ;  but  here  the  omissions  may  be  the 
result  of  a  deplorable  neglect,  which  neglect  un- 
fortunately extends  to  all  men  of  some  eminence 
who  bad  the  misfortune  of  dying  after  the  year 
1842. 

The  following,  on  the  contrary,  is  rather  per- 
plexing, and  not  so  easy  to  explain.  In  the 
article  on  Andri5-Mario  Ampere  (died  1838)  we 
are  agreeably  surprised  in  learning  from  a  note 
that  this  "  article  ae  compose  d'extraits  presque 
(0xtuelfl  de  I'eloge,  encore  infdit  ....  par  M.  F. 
Arago."  Oneis  always  hearing  something  new  in 
thia  great  century,  I  thought,  most  ignorautly 
no  doubt,  that  this  inedited  Hoge  appeared  already 
some  yeara  ago,  and  formed  part,  for  instance,  of 
Aragoa  works  published  in  Paris  during  1854* 
18CS.     At'tho  end  of  this  biography,  in  the  biblio- 


prsphy  of  Amp^'s  productioitt,  wc 
mtense  regret,  that  the  second  toIosh

told  me  that  the  second  ▼olnme  irpo: 
issued  first  in  1843,  and  afterwaidafi 
18G7.     Wo  go  further.     Let  ua  state 
that  the  son  of  Andrt^-Marie — vii.  the 
Jean-Jacquea  Ampere  (died  1864)  hi 
forgotten  br  the  publishers.     In

akias  do  come  together, 
;  brightness  of  the  buu, 
sly  be  somr  pleasant  weather 
ir  storms  are  pant  and  gone !  ** 

iy  scrap  book,  remarks  regarding 


lent  in  imitation  of  an  old  Scotch 
[Among    the  country    tnglc-sidcA.      I 


cannot  tell  the  name  cithrtr  of  the  song  or  the  tune;  bat 
thvy  an)  In  fine  unison  with  one  another.  1  shall  here 
set  down  one  verso  of  the  piece,  both  tu  maik  the  flong 
and  tune  I  mean,  and  likewise  as  a  dobt  I  owe  to  tho 
author,  as  the  repeating  of  that  verse  has  lighted  up  my 
flame  a  thoasana  times." 

Cromek,  io  his  HeHques  of  Bumv,  1808^  was  tho 
6rst  to  publish  the  above^  and  instead  of  the  word 
"sun"  in  the  second  line,  he  hy  mistake  printed 
''weather,"  ftn  error  which  has  been  repeated  by 
every  edit*ir  to  the  prestnt  day. 

The  poet*s  imitations  of  the  above  fragment 
arcnumeroud;  among  others,  I  note  tho  follow- 
ing:— 

"  Though  stare  in  skies  may  disappear, 
And  angri-  tcmprats  gsthcr. 
The  happy  ^our  may  soi>n  be  near 
That  brings  us  pleasant  weather. 
**  The  weary  night  o'  care  and  grief 
Mayhae  ajoyfti*  morrow, 
And  dawning  day  will  bring  relJaf 
For  a*  our  night  o'  sorrow  !  " 

These  verses  form  part  of  a  mng  written  in 
1701,  and  Wo  have  a  coimterpnrt  to  it  in  a  verse 
sent  to  his  fnend  Robert  AiiiAlie  in  a  tetter  dated 
July  23,  1787.  ''In  short,"  he  writes,  <*I  have 
aet  you  down  as  tho  staff  of  my  old  age,  when 
the  whole  list  of  my  frienda  will,  after  a  decent 
ahare  of  pity,  forpet  me: — 

^'Though  in  the  mnm  comes  start  and  strife, 
Yet  joy  may  come  at  noon ; 
And  I  hope  to  lead  a  mernr,  merry  life 
When  a*  thir  days  are  done ! " 

But  the  most  interesting  of  these  (mkations  is 
the  following  song,  which  he  tells  us  he  composed 
at  the  age  of  seveuteeu,  at  which  early  period,  as 
indeed  at  intervals  throughout  life  thereafter,  he 
was  oppressed  with  "  a  constitutional  mclancholv 
or  hypochondriasm  that  made  him  fly  to  »oUtude.^' 
Tie  mentions,  however,  that  he  fell  in  witli  a 
Colleciton  of  Englinh  Songs  which  he  made  "  hia 
vade  mtcum^  and  pored  over  them  when  driving 
his  cart  or  walking  to  labour,  song  hy  song,  versa 
by  verse — carefully  noting  the  true  tender  or 
sublime,  from  affectation  and  fustian,"  In  this 
or  some  other  cullection  he  must  have  met 
with  Mrs.  Cockbum's  fine  song,  "I've  seen  the 
smiUog  of  fortune  beguiling/*  for  the  verges  we 
are  referring  to  are  largely  snrinkled  with  the 
ideas  and  even  the  very  woras  of  that  popular 
song.  Let  the  reader  judge  for  himself: — 
*'  I  drvam'd  1  lay  where  flowers  were  springing 
Gaily  in  the  sonny  beam  ; 
Lislcntng  to  the  wild  birds  singing, 

By  a  ulling  crystal  stream  : 
Straight  the  sky  grew  black  and  daring, 

Through  the'woods  the  whirlwinds  rave; 
Trees  wiUi  aged  arms  wore  warring 
O'er  the  swelling  dnimliu  ware. 

"  Such  was  my  life's  deceitful  morafng, 
Such  tbe  pleaimre  I  ci^joyed  ; 
But  lang  ere  niMm.  loud  teinpest-s  storming, 
A'  mv  flowery  bliss  dtotroyed.

OUTER  CROMWELL'S  MOTBEU. 
(^^''S.  V.  350.) 

It  Bocms  to  require  a  little  credulity  before  we 
can  admit  even  as  pwbjible  that  the  mother  of 
Oliver  Cromwell  was  born  in  Scotland.  Misa 
Elizabeth  Stuart,  tht^  lady  in  qnenttion,  was  the 
daughter  of  Sir  Kii- hard  Stuart,  who  appears  to 
have  resided  in  Combrldgciihire,  near  Kly.  The 
family  wasoriginftlly  Scotch;  and,  being  StuarU, 
they  protended  (as  a  matter  of  course)  to  clum 
atfiuity  with  the  bloiid-royal  of  Scotland.  John 
Stuart  (the  first  of  the  Vamily  who  j-etlled  in 
England,  and  from  whom  Sir  Richard  uas  the 
seventh  in  dej*centj)  quitted  bis  own  country 
under  circumstances  of  considerable  historic  in- 
terest, 

Robert  III.  of  Scotland,  a  prince  too  mild  in 
temper  for  the  people  over  whom  ho  rt*igned,  was 
ke^t  in  a  state  of  awe  and  subjection  bv  hia  i\ai- 
bitmus  brother  the  I>uke  of  Albfluy.  fhis  tyrant 
seized  on  the  person  of  hia  nephew,  Prince  l!)ftvid 
(the  eldest  son  of  Koberlj,  threw  him  mU^  prison, 
and  thiire  left  him  to  expire  with  hunger.*  The 
king,  fearing  a  ainiilar  fate  for  his  only  remaining 
son,  Prince  James,  then  about  nine  years  of  age, 
resttlved  to  send  him  to  France,  where  he  would 
bo  out  of  the  power  of  his  uncle.  John  Stuart, 
and  other  attached  friends  and  domcsttca,  accom- 
panied the  young  prince.  The  vessel  in  which 
they  sailed  was  taken  by  the  English ;  and 
Ilenrv  IV.,  then  King  of  fCngland,  unjustly  de- 
tainea  the  young  |)rince  as  a  hostage,  but  in  other 
respects  treated  him  with  the  distinction  due  to 
his  birth,  and  took  care  that  he  should  receive 
such  an  education  as  made  him,  at  a  subsequent 
period,  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  Scottish  klngi 
of  bis  line. 

When  the  prince  returned  to  take  possession  of 
bis  domioious,  John  Stuart  remnincd  in  England, 
lie  had  entered  into  the  service  of  Henry  IV., 
and  he  seems  to  have  stood  high  iu  the  favour  of 
that  king,  by  whom  he  wns  knighted.  Ilia 
descendants  were  numercms,  and  a  portion  of  the 
fomilv  settled  in  Cambridgeshire,  near  Ely.  To 
this  oranch  belonged  Sir  Richard  Stuart,  the 
father  of  Elizabeth,  the  Protector's  mother. 

Now,  considering  the  long  period  during  which 
this  family  had  been  eftabUshed  in  thu  South  at 
the  birth  of  Mihs  Eli7.ab(.-th  Stuai-t,  and  the  ex- 
treme improbability  thai  they  could  have  held 
much  intercourse  with  the  Scottish  Stuarts  in  tha 
intermediate  time,  nothing  but  very  strong  and 
reliable  evidence  ought  to  induce  us  to  believe 
that  that  lady  was  bom  at  Rosyth  in  Scotland. 

The  onus  of  supplying  such  evidence  rests  with 
the  Scotch  in  the  vicinity  of  Rosyth.  A  mere 
vague  tradition  we  ahould  treat  with  contempt :

LASCELLES  FAMILY. 
(•P*S,  V.  313,385.) 

There  can  be  no  doubt  the  arms  of  Ijiscelles — 
the  three  red  chapleta  * — were  in  this  coso,  aa  in 
many  others,  the  cause  rather  than  the  effect  of 
the  incident  of  the  legend ;  therefore,  the  origin 
of  the  chapleta  still  remains  a  legitimate  and 
intereating  object  of  inquiry.  They  occur  as  a 
surcharge  on  the  old  barrv'  coat  of  the  second 
Greyatockfl— lords  of  Iliaderakelf,  now  Caatle- 
Howard,  &c-^vrith  which  family  the  Lascelles 
were  allied.  Formerly  in  Fjwrick  church,  in  stained 
glass,  WHS  a  helmet  with  the  rre^t,  a  maiden's 
head  with  long  flowing  hair,  bound  with  a  chap- 
let  (Church  note.«<;  ilarl.  MS.  1394)— this  was 
probably  La-scelles'.  The  Baron  of  E^crick,  heir 
of  Picot,  died  1300,  leaving  four  daughters  and 
co-heir?,  one  bearing  the  somewhat  rare  name  of 
TifTauy  (notes  from  Inq,  p.  in.  Isabel  their  [uother, 
York  vol.  Arrh<poi.  Inxt.  107,  u.);  but  from  the 
baron'a  nephew.  Sir  Ralph,  the  line  of  Kscrirk 
waa  continued  for  four  generations,  ending  witli 
im  heiresa  Margaret,  married  to  Sir  .Tain*^s  Pick- 
ering of  Winderwnth.  The  same  Sir  Ralph's 
younger  son  Waiter  founded  the  family  of  Stour- 
ton,  Notts,  e-xisting  in  the  time  of  Elixabeth. 
(Two  very  difterent  pedigrees  were  recorded  at

I  think,  in  adopting-  the  theory  that  mice  sing 
only  when  in  pain,  because  one  sin^ng  mouae 
was  found  to  be  afflicted  with  worms,  a  not  un- 
common trouble  with  animals,  not  unknown  even 
to  the  young  of  the  humiui  nice,  but  never,  tliat  I 
hare  heard,  inducing  any  vocal  efforU.  Mauy 
years  a{ro  I  had  the  opportunity  of  daily  inter- 
views with  a  ("niuous  siuging  mouse  at  Clay  Ilall, 
Old  Ford;  and  the  most  remarkable  point  iu  \n^ 
UDginff  was  the  cheerful  manner  in  which  he 
poured  forth  his  laya.  Tie  would  frisk  about  his 
cage,  aing  a  few  notes,  then  pick  a  little  food  and 
rang  again.  It  was  very  noticeable  that  while 
ringing  the  action  of  the  jnw  and  tlie  motion  of 
the  throat  were  precisely  tuowj  of  a  bird.  I  should 
be  glad  to  have  a  ratioual  explanation  of  the  phe-

had  no  doubt  that  their  musical  tAleut  was  the

by  some  phosphoric  poison  which  had  been  laid  iu

PHOSTITrTION  \  RBLI0I0U8   ORDINANCE  (4'"  8. 

V.  449.)  —  Mr.  Hepworth  Dixon  might  have 
brought  forward  the  Family  of  Love,  or  Ranters, 
alluded  to  by  Sir  Walter  Scott,  m  his  Woitddock, 
ch.  iv.,  and  more  fully  ch.  xxix.  In  the  latter  of 
these  two  passajres  Sir  Walter,  in  a  note,  cites  as 
authorities  on  the  matter  Edward's  Ganffrtnna^ 
Pftgitl'a  Heresioffraphitt,  and  Ludonc  Olaxton's 
Lost  Sheej)  Found  (the  Ust  named  person  being 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  sect).  Trusty  Tomkins 
was  one  of  this  family.  EaAio  Hills.

Ctmious  Itts  Sioks:  "Sttrdt'b  Castle," 
I*  Hopcropt's  Holt  "  (4»^  S.  v.  338.)— The  former 
inn  probably  derives  its  sign  from  a  familv  of  the 
name  of  Sturdy,  who  may  have  boen  interested 
in  the  parish  of  Tackluy,  in  which  the  inn  ia 
situated,  and  the  name  of  Castle  may  be  merely  a 
synonym  of  the  word  chdteau  or  hotel.  In  the 
adjoining  parish  of  Wootton  Mere  is  a  similar 
wayside  inn,  called  the  *'  Killingworth  Castle." 
Th«  Killingworths  were  a  family  of  sorau  anti- 
quity in  that  place.  A  local  tradition  refers  the 
mgn  of  the  fonner  to  the  circumstance  of  one 
—  Sturdy  murdering  a  man  named  Castle,  just 
at  the  time  or  directly  after  the  house  was  built; 
and  states  that  the  criminal  waa  hanged  for  the 
murder  between  there  and  the  neighbouring  vil- 
lage of  Shipton-upon-Cherwell.  I  remember  the 
spot  where  the  gibbet  was  formerly  to  be  seen 
being  pointed  out  to  me  when  a  boy  by  my  father, 
who  had  been  a  curate  of  Tacldey.  • 

Of  "Hopcroft'a  Holt,"  in  the  parish  of  Steeple 
Astoo,  I  imagine  this  inn  to  occupy  the  site  of  an 
ancient  hostelry  in  or  near  to  some  small  wood, 
called  in  Saxon  a  *'  Holt,"  and  belonging  to  a 
family  of  the  name  of  Hopcroft  —  a  name  yet 
existing  in  the  neighbourhood.  About  four  miles 
thence  is  a  turnpike  g«t*%  on  the  Rii-ester  and 
Enstone  road,  known  a»  "  Cuckolds'  Holt  "  gate. 
From  a  memorandum  on  a  document  in  mv  p'^s- 


session,  an  ian,  probably  the  presefot  "Wbll 
Hart"  close  by.  was,  in  the  early  part  of 
century,  called  *^  Cockles'  Holt"

probable  that  the  diticol oration  of  the  old  S^^f^ 
or  want  of  knowledge  in  its  restoration,  may  b«T9 
led  Mr.  WALcorr  to  believe  that  the  armonil 
shield  of  Sir  William  Weston,  in  a  window  of 
one  of  the  prebendal  houses  in  the  Close  ofCU- 
Chester,  bore  originally  "on  n  chief  gulea  a  am

WILLIAM  CARKT. 
WlxUc  makiog  &  rt«ferenco  for  nnothor  purpcuto^ 
I  ftm  reminded  of  h  kind  of  promise  which  I  made 
«ome  time  ago  ("N.  &  Q., '  4»^  S.  iii.  419),  to 
attempt  to  furnish  a  bihUo-biographieal  Hccount 
«f  tbe  able  and  cnthiiaiof  tic  art-critic  whose  ntima 
appears  at  the  Lead  uf  this  paper.  His  ftirvid 
yet  diacrimioative  critioiams.  Bad  his  olo^aent 
•drtjcBucv  of  tho  churns  of  modem  and  national 
art,  continued  throu^'h  a  long  career,  and  always 
printed  for  gratuitous  distribution,  often  proved 
aaefi«etive  in  securing  public  recognition  to  the 
merits  of  nrtiata  yet  imknown^  as  in  procuring 
for  the  British  school  that  place  in  the  estimation 
of  collectors  which  it  now  enjoys.  By  the  former, 
If  we  take  his  own  account,  he  was  treated  with 

r«e  ingratitude  and  neglect;  while,  with  regard 
the  Utter,  it  is  suAlaent  to  say  that  his  uouie 
ia  nlrtady  forgotten,  Ms  labours  are  unchronicled 
by  tbe  biblio;rrapher,  and  a  coiuplole  collection 
of  hiii  writings  is  far  to  aet-k  in  onj-  public  or 
private  coUoction.  This  state  of  things  I  now 
nropoae  in  part  to  remedy,  by  the  following  imper- 
Sbct  acocmnt  of  his  life  and  works;  and  trust  that 
aamo  other  admirers  of  the  art  which  he  lored  so 
lanff,  and  si'ired  so  faithfully,  may  be  able  to 
irupjly  the  oiui»sions  and  correct  the  errors  of 
which  I  ahall  necvssarilv  be  guiity. 

Of  the  early  Ufa  of  Carcv  I  bare  not  been  able 


to  gather  any  particulars.  Ho  appears  to  have 
commenced  life  as  an  artist  in  oUa — a  fact  which 
I  gath*'r  fri>m  a  truculent  articU*  upon  him  in  a 
quarterly  journal,  where  he  is  deacribed  as  — 

**  On«  or  tho  (greatest  pests  in  EngfMi  art :  a  man 
who,  fuiliof;  Uiiu*«lf  in  earlv  life  in  an  attempt  to  become 
■0  hiitlorlcal  painter,  sank  into  his  prpjteni  baUitJ  of 
aaonymoua  criticlfim,  and  carried  with  him,  of  coura^ 
all  the  inorbidltie»  and  disappointmciitj  of  unsocoMifu 
struKKl^N  ond  the  conscious  mortilirntioDS  of  prov«d 
mwlioority." — AnntUs  of  the  Fate  ArU^  iil.  610, 

ITis  discontinuance  of  the  practice  of  art  Car«j 
himself  attributed  to  an  accident  received  to  his 
eyes  in  his  youth ;  and  stated  that,  retaining  a 
noasion  for  the  arts  as  a  first  love,  ho  devoted  bis 
lire  to  the  promotion  of  their  interests  by  the  pen 
instead  of  the  brush. 

Krom  a  statement  in  a  later  publication  I  learn 
that  these  exertions  on  behalf  of  modem  art  com- 
menced as  early  as  1779.  Uf  these  earlier  pro- 
ductions I  know  nothing;  the  first  piece  with 
which  I  am  acquainted  being  — 

"  Thoughta  on  the  bosC  Mode  of  checking  the  Prtju- 
dices  ii|;ainst  Itriiish  \Vork>*  of  Art.  lEespectfully  ad* 
dressed  to  the  Hun.  and  Hcv.  Utcbard  Brrun.  Uoughtoo, 
Durham.  For  gratuitous  DUtribntion."  8to,  York,  1801. 

I  next  find  Carey  at  Sheffield^  where,  as  a 
eonwepondent  of  the  Sheffield  Irisf  then  conducted 
br  James  Montgomery  the  p'»t,  be  pronoimced 
(Nov.  and  l>ec.  IbOo)  his  remarkable  prediction 
of  the  future  fame  of  Chantrey  the  sculptor.  His 
notices  of  this  artist,  then  young  and  obscure, 
were  doubtless  intiuential  in  drawing  public  at- 
tention to  his  genius,  and  should  have  met  with 
more  gratitude  than  they  seem  to  have  received. 
Ijut  this  is  a  long  affair,  and  i  pass  on  to  a  piece 
of  much  interest,  entitled  — 

**  A  Critical  Description  of  tho  ProMS-iinn  of  Chsncor's 
Pilgrims  to  Canterbury,"  8ro,  Ix)ndon,  1 H08, — 

of  which  a  '*  second  edition,  with  additions,"  la 
before  me,  8vo,  1818.  The  next  in  point  of  date 
is  a  pamphlet :  — 

"  Cursory  Thoughts  on  the  Present  State  of  the  Fine 
Artti,  occani'jnt'd  tiv  the  Fotindisg  of  the  Liverpool 
Academy.**    8vo,  Liverpool,  1810. 

This  piece  is  especially  worthy  of  record  aa 
containing  on  eulogium  on  the  genius  of  Gibson 
the  sculptor,  whose  recent  loss  the  arts  still  mourn, 
and  s  prognostication  of  the  celebrity  which  he 
w»«  destined  to  attain.  A  criticism  from  his  pen, 
to  the  same  purport,  appeared  also  in  the  Liver- 
pool Courier  for  October  in  the  same  year. 

One  piece,  published  just  before  this,  I  find  I 
have  omitted:  — 

"  I>irtter  to  J A [Colonel  J.  P.  Anderdnn],  a 

ConnotMeur  In  London.  For  private  distribution  in  an 
Amatcar  Tircle."  Printed  bv  R.  and  W.  Dcnn,  Mau- 
cheitcr.     Umo,  1809. 

Mr.  Carey  was  now,  and  had  long  been,  engaged 
in  collecting  materials  for  a   ^ro^ucXs^  \Mfc  A 


[t"'S.v.  M4Tti,*nr. 


Alderman  John  Boydell,  which  was  to  iaclude  a 
history  of  the  progresa  of  the  fioe  arts  in  this 
country  durincc  his  time,  and  hir>|[^aphical  and 
critical  notices  of  all  the  Britiph  paintors,  en- 
gravers, nod  forciErn  ortista  resident  in  Kagland 
who  fand  been  eniployod  hy  himdurinf^  more  than 
half  a  c<>ntur>'.  In  this  desi;^  ha  was  assisted 
bv  Mrs.  Nicoll,  niece  to  the  alderman,  who  fur- 
nuhed  materials,  and  offered  to  defray  the  expense 
of  an  edition  of  750  copies,  in  two  votumes  royal 
4to,  ti  bfl  printed  in  the  best  style  by  Bulmer, 
and  illuAtrated  by  portraits  and  engravinfra.  It 
is  much  to  bo  regretted  that  this  project  was 
never  carried  out.  The  writer  woe  not  aatisfied 
with  biis  progress  in  the  acauisition  of  informa- 
Uon,  and  sought  and  obtained  from  Mra.  Nii.-oli  a 
Teleaiie  from  tho  immediate  fultilmeut  of  his 
engagement :  the  lady  died,  and  the  collected 
materitild  nre  probably  now  irrecoverably  lost. 
(See  Varia,  p.  Vo. ) 

We  next  hear  of  a  — 

'^  Rm^nmmendntion  of  the  SlAined-niaulWinrloir  of 
tho  Tran-^fii^uraliou,  for  St.  Jamof'fl  Cburcb*  Westmin- 
«ter."     1615. 

This  was  followed  by  a  — 

•'CritlcAl  Description  and  Analytic*!  IEo\m«w  of  Dcnih 
oo  the  Vn\v  Ilorw,'  painted  by  Bt-njoniin  West,  P.R.A. 
with  desultory  luforoncea  to  the  Works  of  some  Ancionl 
Masters  and  Living  British  Artists"  pp.  172,  8vo. 
Dec.  31.  1617. 

Mr.  Carey  was  now  established  as  a  dealer  in 
pictures,  prints,  and  works  of  art,  at  37,  Mary-la- 
Bonno  Street,  Piccadilly.  In  Feb.  1810  ho  be- 
came, as  he  informs  ua,  a  contributor  to  the  yew 
Mouthh/  Magazine;  but  closed  his  engagements 
with  the  proprietor  in  May  1820,  except  as  to  the 
conclusion  of  hia  memoir  of  West,  which  appeared 
in  June.  Previous  to  thin,  he  had  become  ac- 
qtxainted  with  that  liberal  and  judicious  patron 
of  art,  yir  John  Fleming  Leicester  of  Tabley 
House,  in  Cheshire,  afterwards  raised  to  tho  peer- 
age under  the  title  of  I^rd  Dc  Tabley,  by  whom 
he  was  much  consulted  in  the  formation  of  his 
gallery.  This  enlightened  amateur  was  the  first, 
it  will  be  remembered,  who  dared,  while  duly 
appreciating  the  old  masters  of  the  foreign  schools, 
to  form  hie  collection  on  the  exclusive  principle 
of  patronising  British  art ;  and  ho  found  a  titting 
coadjutor  in  Carey,  who  boasted  in  after-life  that 
he  had  never  printed  a  line  on  any  exhibition  of 
the  old  masters.  The  connection  led  to  the  pub- 
lication of — 

•'  A  pcftcriptire  Catalo^e  of  a  Collection  of  P&inttn^ 
hy  1triii<h  Artirtl*  in  the  pO!we*iion  of  Sir.Tohn  Klerainjt

Colt  Hoarc,  Bart."    lioyal  >*vo,  LondoD»  1819. 

And  later,  an  important  and  iotercstiog  book 
entitled  —

London,  1826, 

In  the  interval  appeared  a  very  curious  b(X»k:- 
*•  Desultory  Kxpo«tioii  of  an  Anti-nriit«h  Sv<if*m  of

the  Royal  Arademy."    Thick  Svo,  London,  IrclU. 

The  publication  thus  alluded  to  was  a  journal 
which  appeared  quarterly,  under  the  title  of  The 
Annals  of  the  Fine  ArU^  the  first  number  of  which 
was  published  in  July  ISIG.  This  work  *m 
edited  by  James  Kimes:  and  was  continued  tfll 
182(1,  when  it  ceased  with  its  seventeenth  nnraber. 
It  was  published  by  Hurst,  Robinson  *t  Co.,  ani! 
forms  five  volumes  8vo.  Carey  boasted  that  hv 
had  "  inflicted  n  death-wound  upon  it  in  a  ain;d« 
assault " ;  and  this  may  have  been  the  case,  as  itt 
cesimlion  followed  so  immediately  the  work  I 
liave  recorded.  We  next  have  a  ^markablj 
interesting  pamphlet :  — 

"Varijk:  Historical  Obwrmtions  on  Anii-BritvA

Our  author  now  interested  himself  in  th«pm*

a  pamphlet  entitled  —

In  thb  year,  too,  Carey  was  the  author  of  i 
letters  in  the  Cork  and  biiblin  newspaper, 
he  boaxts  first  introduced  Hogan  the  acu^l

ms  pubUcatir)n9  in  vindication  of  modern 
the  year  1779  to  18.^5.** 
this  period  Mr.  Carey,  now  far  advanced 


in  life,  arrived  in  Birmingham,  bringing  with  him 
some  high-clnas  pictures  for  diapotial,  and,  among 
these,  a  very  fine  and  valuable  Rembrandt.  He 
took  up  his  abode  in  Temple  Place,  Rath  RnWj  and 
employed  hie  evor-activo  pen  by  contributing  to 
The  Analf/at :  a  QuarUj'Uj  Journal  of  Haietice,  Litera' 
turCf  and  ihe  Fine  Arii^  printed  in  this  town  under 
the  editorship  of  W.  HoU,  Neville  Wood,  and  Dr. 
Mammatt;  and  supported  by  the  contributions  of 
Laogston  Parker,  "W  illiam  Watts.  J.  IL  Rowlin- 
eou,  M.  H.  Bloxham.  Shirley  Palmer,  M.D.,  Sir 
S.  Rush  Meyrick,  and  other  local  writers  of 
talent.  Among  his  articles  may  be  mentioned 
one  entitled  *' Cursory  Ohaen-atioDs  on  Certain 
Inconsiderate  Criticisms  respecting  Painting  and 
Sculpture,"  and  a  series  of  papers  on  the  Bir- 
mingham Kxhibition  of  Modern  Art  in  1631. 

The  late  Thomas  Green  of  Ipswich,  autliorof 
the  Diary  of  a  Lover  of  LittToturc,  was,  ns  may 
bo  inferred  from  the  Diary,  Ri!»o  a  lorer  of  art. 
A  continuation  of  the  IKar>'.  which  Mr.  Green 
did  not  live  to  publish  as  he  intended,  and  which 
I  much  regret  not  to  bo  able  to  possess  in  a  sepa- 
rate form,  was  communicated  Ly  his  son  to  a 
friend,  who  selected  from  it  .such  partd  as  he 
thought  fit,  and  caused  them  to  appear  through 
several  successive  volumes  of  the  GentlemafC» 
Magazine.  Here  we  find  frequent  allusions  to 
Carey,  with  whom  Mr.  Green  was  evidently  on 
friendly  terms.  Sometimes  we  have  him  dealing 
for  a  picture :  — 

"  N^n^lidtcd  with  Carey  for  his  Kenibrandt 

Carey  himvelf  full  of  simplicity  ami  eanH-ntness,  carriod 
avray  by  his  feelings,  entirely  corresponding  with  the 

character  pivL-n  of  him  hy  M ,  'cluquent  from  Ihe 

intensity  of  his  feelings,  and  foiling  onlv  from  ioadc- 
quncy  of  exprcssioiL*  " — GaU.'i  Mag.,  xvil.  139. 

Again:  — 

**  Much  political  chat  with  Mr.  Carey,  who  is  an  ea- 

thuifiast  in  the  cause  of  liberty."— /Am/.,  p.  139,  Nov.  1841. 

The  following  is  interesting  as  bearing  on  the 
charge  of  ingratitude,  before  alluded  to,  on  the 
part  of  those  whose  merits  he  had  been  instru- 
mental in  bringing  before  the  public :  — 

"  Called  on  Carey,  half-crazed  on  his  affflir  with  Mont- 
iromcry  and  Chantrey.  most  vehement  and  impiiKsioDed* 
Unquestionably  tio  appean  by  his  statcnit-nt  l<j  haro 
been  used  ty  both  these  peraons—whom  he  tirst,  by  their 
own  showing,  lifted  from  obscurity — with  deep  ingrati- 
tude :  the  too  constant  attendant  of  overwhelming  obli- 
gation, but  I'm  assured  he  will  overlay  his  ca.-io  to  the 
public.  I  recommended  a  short  but  strong  appeal,  re- 
5er\'lng  the  documents  at  present.  1  could  not  get  him 
to  talk  on  any  other  subject,  and  with  difficulty  got 
away."— /Airf.,  xix.  5H0. 

To  this  the  editor  appends  the  following  note : — 

♦'  We  have  no  doubt  that  Mr,  Caroy'i  verr  sanguine  tem- 
p'l'rnmcnt  Icrl  him,  if  not  to  exaggerate  tbenc  oMigatinns, 
at  least  scarcely  to  look  at  them  in  their  true  form.  We 
have  often  heard  him  discourse  f«T  houni,  and  with 
vehemence,  on  the  same  sabject.  It  was  a  subject  that 
we  think  lasted  for  vears.**

Nor  was  Gibson  himself  slow  ia  admittio^ 
these  obligations.  lu  1827  he  preseoted  a  bust  in 
marble  of  his  early  patron  to  the  Liverpool  Royal 
Inatitution,  and  accompanied  the  gift  with  a  letter, 
in  which  he  aays  of  Koecoe  —

Itut  I  mn»i  return  to  my  subject;  and  conclude 
this  already  lengthy  article. 

For  an  amusing  illustration  of  the  impetuosity 
and  pnthtisiasEU  that  characterised  Ullr.  Oarey^ 
even  in  extreme  old  rsto,  I  am  indebted  to  a  friend 
of  my  own — himself  now  vergiog  on  hia  eighth 
decade,  and  a  consummate  judge  of  art — who 
relates  that,  on  one  occasion,  being  invited  to 
take  tea  with  tho  old  man,  the  latter  wiis  so  car- 
ried on  by  the  wanuth  of  the  preliminarj*  conrer- 
aation  as  to  require  no  trilling  eiFori  to  draw  his 
attention  to  the  fact  that  he  had  left  the  tap  of 
the  urn  riinning,  and  that  its  ebullient  contents 
having  long  overtlovced  the  tea-pot,  and  thence 
descended  to  the  tray,  were  abont  to  seek  their 
way  to  a  yet  lower  level  over  the  raised  borders 
of  that  receptacle ! 

Mr.  Corey  died  in  thia  town  on  Muv  21, 1841, 
at  the  age  of  eighty.  A  meagre  biograpLical  notice 
of  hira  appeared  lu  the  GerUkman'a  Magazine  for 
February,  1842,  p,  130;  and  here  it  is  stated  that 
he  passed  some  period  of  his  lifo  in  America. 

r  myself  remember  the  son  of  Carey,  who  about 
this  period  had  a  small  ill-famished  shop  for  the 
sale  of  boolw,  print«,  &c.,  in  Monmouth  Street, 
near  to  the  site  of  the  Great  Western  Hotel.  1 
was  a  mere  lad  in  those  days ;  but  I  us^d  tu  step 
in  and  make  an  occasional  purchase  from  the  pro- 
prietor, who  seemed  to  be  in  very  needy  circum- 
stances, lie  removed,  if  I  remember  right,  to 
Bath  Street,  and  I  have  since  lost  all  trace  of 
him.  y^iuujt  Bates.

HEKIiY  JKNKINS'S  AIXEGED  LONGEVITY. 

lu  Jane  last  (4^  S.  iii.  594)  I  made  an  appeal 
the  rraiders  of  "  N.  &  Q.''  generally,  and  more 
tally  to  Shropshire  antiquaries,  begging  that, 
nf  them  possessed  information  corrobora- 
of  any  one  of  the  many  precise  statements 
ruined  m  Tavlor's  Life  of  Old  Parrj  they  would 
lly  commumcato  it  to  me.  This  appeal  was, 
grciit  consideration,  copied  into  most  of  the 
»1  journale  published  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
d  Piirr"^  birthplace;  but,  as  I  feared  and  anti- 
pated,  without  i?licitiDg  a  single  fact  confirmatory 
any  one  of  Taylor's  numerous  and  precise  state- 
vats. 

I  vn  now  anxious,  for  a  particular  purpose,  to 
:,Al£('  a  jiimilar  appeal  to  your  readers  and  to  York- 
lire  antw|uariea  generalir,  for  any  evidence  they 
>^y  possess  in  confirmation  of  a  single  statement 


in  the  yet  more  marvellous  story  of  Henry  Jen- 
kins ;  and  for  obvious  reasons  I  should  like  here 
to  borrow  a  phrase  now  frequently  added  to  an- 
nouncements in  newspapers — **  Yorkshire  paper?, 
please  copy." 

Jenlcins  i*  said  (but  not  the  slightest  authoril^ 
has  ever  been  produced  for  the  statement^  to  have 
been  bom  in  loOl.  lie  died  '*  a  very  old  man," 
says  the  parish  register,  and  was  buried  Dec.  9, 
1070. 

The  earliest  account  of  Jenkins  appears  to  be 
that  given  by  Miss  Savile,  which,  though  not 
dated,  is  believed,  on  reasonable  grounds,  to  have 
been  written  about  10tJ2  or  1603.  According  to 
that  account,  Jenkins  was  at  the  time,  "  to  the 
best  of  his  remembrance,  about  102  or  103." 

On  April  15, 1007,  when  examined  at  Catterick, 
he  is  described  as  "  Henry  Jenkins,  of  EUerton- 
upon-Swale,  labourer,  aged  157,  or  thereabouts." 

In  Miss  Savilo*s  report  he  is  described  as 
having  *'  sworn  as  a  witness  In  a  cause  at  York  to 
120  years  — which  the  judge  reproving  him  for, 
he  said  he  was  butler  at  that  time  to  Lord  Con- 
yers." 

Sir  R.  Graham  mentions  that  "  Jenkins  gave 
evidence  to  six  score  vears  lu  a  cause  between 
Mr.  How  and  Mrs.  \V'asLeU,  of  Ellerton."  Is 
anything  known  of  this  cause  ?  in  speakinir  of 
wliich  Mr.  Clarkson,  in  his  liivhinomhhire,  tells  a 
remarkable  story  of  Mrs.  VVoflleU's  agent,  on 
going  to  summons  Jenkins,  finding  at  Kllerton  a 
son  and  grandson  alive,  both  of  whom  were  much 
more  infirm  in  memory  than  Jenkins. 

What  is  Mr.  Clarkson's  authority  for  this?  and 
when  did  this  son  and  grandson  die  P 

.lenkins's  wife  died  in  1006.  Was  she  Ms  first 
wife?  When  and  where  were  they  married? 
What  was  her  sge  ?  Her  death,  and  that  of  her 
husband,  are  said  to  be  the  only  two  entries  in 
which  the  name  of  Jenkins  occurs  in  the  register 
of  Bolton. 

I  have  also  seen  mention  made  of  Jenkins*t 
evidence  in  a  cause  in  1007  between  the  vicar  of 
Catterick  and  John  and  I'eter  Mawbank,  What 
is  the  authority,  and  where  is  there  any  record  of 
such  trial  ? 

Yorkshire  antiquaries  may  be  in  possession  of 
other  facts  in  reference  to  the  alleged  longevity 
of  Henry  Jenkins.  If  so.  I  trust,  in  the  interest  of 
historical  truth,  they  will  kindly  bring  them  for- 
ward. 

I  have  little  hope  of  being  able  to  prove  the 
real  ago  of  this  "Yorkshire  patriarch;  what  I  do 
hope  to  accomplish  with  respect  to  him  will  be 
greatly  promoted  by  any  fresh  and  trustworthy 
luformatiou  about  bim.         Wxlliax  J.  Tnovs.

should   bo  grateful  to  any  of  your  readers  vki 
could  furnish  me  with  a  few   facts  that  woiU 
throw  any  light  upon  the  amount  of  the  kntk- 
ment  in  uur  Univeniities  in  the  fourtt^mi  aad 
fifteenth  centuries.     The  earliest  statutes  of  Me- 
lon College,  Oxford,  provided  that  tiefno  religimm 
should  be  maintained  on  the  foundation,  art.!  it 
was  probably  Walter  de  Mertou's  inl>^i 
the  Sfatlar  cfrryy,  as  distinguished  from  ■ 
the  friar,  and  the  canon,   should  bunelit  hj  hit 
munificence.     But  what  evidence  hsr<»  rr'llnfl 
the  iaitt/j  in  distinction  fron»  any  iM' 
availed  themselves  of  our  numoroi 
dalioos  in  the  period  before  15001''    AIj 
searches  have  led  me  to  suspect  that  the  la 
pure  and  simple,  was  rarely  to  be  met  with 
at  Oxford  or  Cambridge  befory  the  nxteentk 
tury.     It  is   noticeable  tlint   the  early 
statutes  require   that  the  students  ahoold 
their  heads  shaven. 

There  is  another  point  on  which  I  sho 
equally  glad  to  tmin  information.     We  know 
up  to  the  year  l+>35  the  ScHtencen  of  Peter 
bard  and  the  Logic  of  Duns  Scotus  were  thd 
great  text  books  of  our  Univerditiea.     It  it 
cult  to  suppose  that  books  iu  such  request 
not  in  some  form  or  other  have  issued  fgon

THE  DOMISLOXS  OF  SOLOMOX. 

{4»»  S.  V.  a5o,  ao3.) 

In  the  note  on  tho  dominions  of  Solomon,  in  tha 
present  volume  of  "  N.  &  (^.,"  I  painted  out  what 
eeetiied  to  lue  an  obvious  error  nf  Dean  Stanley  in 
excluding  from  the  kingdom  of  Kdom  at  the  time 
of  the  ejLodufl  &  range  of  mountains  on  the  west 
of  the  lonjf  and  narrow  valley  called  the  Arabah. 
In  proof  of  tbe  Dean's  mi:<taktt  I  cited  the  passage  i 
in  Joshua  xv.  *JI-3i*,  where  there  is  a  long  list  of 
cities  htrdering  on  tMora,  none  of  which  could 
hare  bordered  on  that  kingdom,  unless  tbe  moun- 
tainous range  referred  to  were  included  in  its 
liniit'1.  As  the  Detm  cxpresaea  a  peculiar  value 
for  the  geographical  chapters  of  the  book  of 
Joshua,  it  might  naturally  have  been  expected 
that  he  would  have  himself  shown  how  his  theory 
could  be  uwde  consistent  with  the  evidence  of 
what  he  eulogisticaUy  terms  the  Domeaday-book 
of  (^anaon. 

But  the  Dean,  instead  of  putting  his  own 
ahouldora  to  tho  wheel,  refer*  mo  to  Mr.  Porter's 
article  on  "  Kdom  "  in  Smith's  BUtUcal  Vidtonanj 
for  "detailed 
Deaa  is  pl< 


Hsroun,  ia  the  Mount  Hor  oa  which  Aaron  was 
buried. 

But,  in  the  conflict  of  opinons  on  minor  points, 
%  hight  breiUu  out  which  ranrs  the  general  har- 
mony of  the  three  fellow-Uboun»r*. 

Dean  Stanlej,  in  his  Sinai  ami  I'aUstiHc  (p.  04, 
5th  edit),  was  inclined  tn  identilV  the  aitti  of  the 
city  of  iVtra  with  the  Kadeah  of  the  oxodtu. 

To  ihxA  Haymfui,  in  hia  article  an  ^  Kadesh/' 
vary  properly  objects  for  a  roaion  which,  though 
not  ndw,  appears  decisive  against  the  Deau'a 
theory : — 

•*Th«  rita  of  Pctra  must  hjive  b««a  as  tboroui;hly 
EdomiLUli  Icmioi^'  u  thai  uf  Bocrab,  ihe  thou  cnpual. 
and  woaki  not  Iw  'lU'^scnbefl  as  being  '  in  tlia  ultLTiuiMl ' 
<if  choir  UiMirr.  *  Mount  Seir  *  was  '  fpvon  to  l^au  fur  a 
powwwIqn«*  in  which  ho  was  to  bo  anmoIcaliMl ;  and  not 
a  *  Ibof  s  breadth  *  of  his  land  wju  to  be  taken." 

With  respect  to  the  Dean,  this  argument  cer- 
tainly seema  to  have  a  demoli(*hing  ellVct;  but 
(unfortunately  for  Huyman)  his  shot  did  much 
greater  execution  than  he  intended  or  wishod. 
Certain  it  is  that  Petra  is  in  the  very  ctmtre  of 
that  range  of  mountiuns  on  the  east  of  toe  Arabah

Kadeab,  which  (as  liavman  correctly  states)  is 
described  as  being  in  tfic  uiterrttoxt  of  the  border 
ofKdom.  (N'umb.  xx.  IG.) 

Hut  the  rery  argument  which  Ilayman  uaea  to 
disprove  the  identity  of  Pctra  and  Kndeah  also 
disproves  the  identity  of  the  Jebel  Iloroun  and

Mpect  to  the  theories  of  Stanley  and 
»  polkical  tiatc  of  Edom  in  the  days 
1  (I  hope)  be  easily  comprehended 
and  m/iy  be  of  uae  in  testing  the 
liance  which  should  bo  pl«u:ed  in 
aen  as  £afe  authorities  on  idumajaa 

itoa  of  Dean  Stanley,  Edom  at  the 
f99  populated  wholly  or  chiefly  by 
o/  i»mUr» "  (Sinoi  und  Paly  p.  87, 
Mr.  Port«r  holds  a  very  difl«rent 
'ar  and  rapine  were  the  onlv  profes- 
lomitea"  (Smith's  7)iV.,  i.  4!H). 
lony  of  the  Pentateuch  (the  best 
\  merred  to)  is  decidedly  adverse  to 
jjinioms.    AccorJin^  to  the  Jfebrew 


records  Edom,  at  the  exodeal  period,  was  in- 
habited by  a  population  divided,  like  Israel,  into 
various  tribon:  each  tribe  being  L'ovcmed  by  its 
own  patriarchal  chief,  with  the  title  of  AUuph; 
while  at  thu  head  of  the  whole  community  was 
pUced  a  kin;;,  who  appears  to  have  been  elective 
(Gen.  ixivi). 

The  kingdom  had  a  settled  and  well  recopTiiaed 
border,  both  on  the  west  and  on  the  ti>ast  (Numb. 
IX.  16, 17),  as  we  know  frr»m  the  book  of  Jajhu* 
that  it  had  un  ihe  north. 

Though  th*?  greater  part  of  the  soil  was  naturally 
barren,  yet  agriculture  flourished  where  the  situ- 
ation permitted — vineyards  were  cultivated,  wells 
dug  {ih,  v.  17);  and  the  rights  of  property  werfti 
so  strictly  recognised,  that,  if  a  stranger  droakj 
of  the  water  of  a  well,  he  was  expected  to  paj 
for  it  if  the  owner  required  it  {ih.  v.  10). 

This  assuredly  looks  like  civilisation ;  but  more 
than  all  this,  Edom,  like  the  Amorite  kingdom  of 
Hoshbon  (^umb.  xxi.  32),  had  its  royal  roada 
(Numb.  XX.  17),  one  of  tho  last  things  to  ba 
expected  in  a  nation  of  wild  hmUrs  or  robbert^ 
t)f  what  use  (we  mav  inquire)  were  thetse  roj 
roads  to  such  a  population  ?  Perhapa  the  Deairj 
would  inform  ua  — 

"  It  woi  over  these  ronda  that, 

'  To  drivT  the  deer  with  hound  and  horn. 
Wild  Edom  look  iu  way.'  " 

But,  as  this  solution  of  tho  difficulty  may   not 
satisfy  every  reader,  1  may  be  allowed  to  offer 
what  seems  to  me  a  more  rational  explanation. 
Hoods,  in  the  modem  sense  of  the  word,  as  ap- 
plied to  a  path  artificially'  levelled,  there  were 
certidnly  none  in  Edom.     The  Derek  ham-melek 
(or  king's  road)  was  a  route  frequented  by  com- 
mercial caravans,  under  tho  protection  of  the  hing^ 
who  stationed  guards  at  proper  intervals  to  koep.^ 
A  constant  watch  over  the  roads,  and  drive  nwayj 
all  robbers  who  might  otherwise  have  infestoij 
them.    For  this  protection  he  exact«d  such  duetf 
as  enabled  him  to  maintain  the  necessary  guard. 

So  much  for  the  Dean's  fantastic  idea  of  the 
'•wild  hunters."     Mr.  Porter's   theory  of  "war 
and  rapine  "  is  still  more  easily  confuted.     When 
Israel  was  in  Kadesh,  Moses  sent  ambassadors  to 
the  then  King  of  Edom,  requesting  permi.vion  to 
pass  through  his  country  to  the  east  of  the  Jordaa 
(Numb.  XX.  II).     To  admit  into  the  heart  of  hia 
country  a  turbulent  people,  who  had  repeatedlyj 
rebelled  against  their  leader  Moses  and  their  Ooa| 
Jehovah,  and  who  boldly  accused  Jehovah  of  hatit^ 
them    (Deut.  i.  27)  —  such  a  demand  naturally  j 
appeared  startling  to   the  King   of  Edom.     Ha 
peremptorily  refused,  and  declared  his  intention  i 
of  defending  hia  border.    He  accordingly  collected 
a  large  army  (for  the  '*  wild  hunters  "  uad  a  strong 
military  force,  Numb.  xx.  20),  and  prepared  for 
his  defence.    But  tU\a  arm.^  "^^a  «»  xa«p&  wiwrj  ^

SIBYLS  OF  CUEYNET  COURT, 
(4*  S.  V.  243,  317,  352.) 

With  reference  to  Mr.  Weale'-^  inquiry  aa  to 
the  probable  date  of  the  paintiuga  at  Cbeyney 
Court,  I  think  there  can  be  little  doubt  that  they 
were  executed  in  the  early  part  of  the  seven- 
teenth centiiry,  as  while  restoring  the  room  a  coat 
nf  arms  was  diiicovered  between  the  two  paint- 
ings of  Diana  and  S.  John  Baptist  over  the  tire- 
place.  Tliis  shield  is  similar  to  the  one  described 
by  your  correspondent  I).  P.  (4""  S.  v.  33),  vix. 
Slaughter  and  Leche  of  Cbataworth  quarterly, 
impaling  a  chevron  between  three  dolphins  for 
jVrnold  of  Colby.  This  coat  i.^  evidently  contem- 
porary with  the  paintings,  and  ie  puinU'd  ou  the 
pedei4t4il  of  the  central  column  by  which  they 
are  divided,  and  which  leads  lue  to  suppose  that 
the  room  was  fitted  up  and  decorated  by  Ciworgo 
Slaug^hter  and  liis  wife  Cathurine  Arnold,  who 
lived  about  the  year  lOU.  The  naintings  are  all 
executed  on  panels  divided  by  Doric  columns ; 
and  I  think  it  has  not  been  previously  mentioned 
tliat  there  are  a  set  of  prophets  to  correspond  to 
the  sibyla  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  ruum,  but 
without  any  verses  oelow  them.  The  emblems 
of  the  eibyls  are  as  follows: — 

Pureica,  an  open  book ;  Libica,  a  branch  of 
myrtle;  Delphicu,  a  liurge  c!a?pud  bnok;  Cumaia, 
a  bunch  of  lilies;  SamiH,au  open  biM)k  and cruwn 
of  thorus  in  her  hand  ;  .Egiptio,  an  open  bouk 
and  sceptre;  Hollespuntica,  a  closed  book  and 
three  cars  of  wheat ;  Phrygia,  a  branch  of  myrtle 
and  a  naked  sword ;  Cumana,  an  open  book  and 
banner  with  red  cross;  Tibertina,  a  branch  of 
palm  (?)  and  a  small  cup  or  bowl;  Europn,  a 
Draoch  of  myrtle  ;  Krytlirnca,  a  lamb. 

The  prophets  are — Movhcs,  David,  Isaias  ^one 
illegible),  Aggteus,  Daniel,  ilaruch,  Usee,  Joel| 
Amos,  AbdiaSf  Jonas,  Michiens,  Nahum,  Sopbo-

iJnarx  QrEBiEa:  The  CorsTES*  op  Ttb- 
roNXKL  (4"*  S.  V.  400.)— It  may  be  recollected 
tliftt  in  the  3*^  S,  vii  p.  321.  I  noted  the  various 
atones  then  current  respecting  the  place  where 
the  Countess  of  Tyrcoimel  died  and  wa.i  buried. 
Abrjut  that  time  a  stupid  story  of  her  having  been 
the  White  Widow  at  the  Strand  Exchange  ap- 
peared in  Thornhury'B  JIminfed  London :  and,  as 
19  generally  the  ca&e,  at  once  went  the  round  of 
the  papers.  W.  F.  has  now  got  a  new  place  for 
her  death,  namely,  an  old  nunnery  in  King  t>tr«?et 
Xorth,  Dublin,  "where  died  in  miserable  plight 
La  Belle  JenningSi  Ducbesa  of  Tyrconnel,  in  Feb. 
1"30." 

Aa  Tyrconnel  did  not  receive  the  title  of  Duke 
till  long  after  James  IL  had  lied  from  the  throne 
of  England,  the  title  of  Duchess  as  applied  to  bis 
widow  is  decidedly  improper;  however,  we  may 
let  that  pose.  Prior,  in  Lis  Life  of  Ooldtniith,  saya 
that  she  lived  in  Dublin,  and  that  she  died  at  her 
lodgings  in  Ormond  Quay  on  Sunday,  March  7, 
1730-1.  On  the  tablet  erected  to  her  memorv  in 
the  chapel  of  the  old  Scots  Callage,  in  tho  Ituo 
des  Foeses  St.  Victor  at  Paria,  we  read  "  Obiit 
die  XII  Mnrtii."  This  undoubtedly  must  have 
been  an  error,  though  it  may  note  the  date  of  her 
burial.  Since  1  previously  noted  this  subject, 
I  hare,  through  the  kindness  of  my  late  lamented 
friend  Dr.  J.  H.  Todd,  bad  frequent  opportunitifs 
of  reading  in  the  library  cf  Trinity  Colleg**,  Dublin, 
where,  among  the  ''Broadsides,"  I  found  the  fol- 
lowing elegy,  fully  corrobomting  the  statement  of

This  inrUuU'd  the  covering  the  whole  of  the  flat 
stone  inscriptions  with  a  new  Hoorinp,  removing 
the  tablets  Irom  the  pillars,  and  the  small  quan- 
tity of  painted  glass  from  the  windows.^  The 
armorial  glass  I  huve  been  unable  to  obtAin  any 
account  of,  but  I  found  in  a  mason's  yard  three 
tablets  (one  of  white  marble  and  gold)  relating 
to  some  of  the  best  families  in  the  county.  I  re- 
presented this  to  the  then  rector,  who,  without 
conferrinjr  with  me,  placed  them  on  the  wUide 
east  wall  of  the  church,  where  they  are  nposed 
to  sll  wt'ulheTs,  and  can  scarcely  ever  bo  seen,  as 
that  end  of  the  church  is  shut  up. 

In  the  churcbyArd  a  large  monument  was  con- 
sidered to  be  in  the  way,  and  was  denuded  oF 
some  of  its  Appendages,  but  a  lawyer's  loiter 
coming  from  London  demanding  instant  restom- 
tion,  the  subject  was  discussed,  and  the  ,monu-

But  what  of  the  inscriptioDS  on  tbe  floor  P  I

gotten that  tho  month  of  May  was  over.  The 
readers  of  this  amu&iaf^  Diary  will  remember  the 
dofle  which  Dee  preticribed  for  hiriisi^lf  on  March

have  ended  Iiis  da\'fl  imd  his  diary  before  he  came 
to  tho  second  of  the  "  preat  drauehts  of  ale."

Orioiw  or  TiiB  Babquks  (4"'  S.v.  89,  229,331,

"Iberia,"  anciently  applied  to  the  north-ea«t  part 
nf  Spain,  ii>  etymologically  connected  with  the 
Iberia  of  Aeia  Alinor ;  and  he  says  "  Ihtr,  Hvhcr, 
Iver,  menna  nothing  more  than  a  migrant."  I 
take  it  that  the  names  are  auite  distinct.  The  for- 
mer appellation  is  derivea  from  the  river  Ebrn. 
The  latter  may  have  also  originated  in  some 
aucient  river  name;  perhaps  from  *>i<^  (also  11XS 
iu  the  Egyptian  dialects  tapo,  t«po),  a  rivt^r,  which, 
with  a  meclial  digaramn,  might  become  ivar,  ilMr,

Captain  Raail  Hall  found  in  South  America  tbe 
hive  of  a  honey-bee  nearly  allied  to  that  of  Gua- 
daloupe,  if  not  tbe  same.     He  says: — 

"  The  hive  we  «aw  opened  was  only  partly  filled,  which 
enabled  us  to  aeo  thecoonomy  of  the  interior  to  more 
advantage.  The  honey  ia  not  contained  in  the  ole^unt 
hex:igniial  celU  of  our  liive»,  hut  in  wax  h^^n,  nut  i|Uite 
Mt  Ur^c  OB  an  ti;^,  Theu  boga  or  bladdent  are  hung

of  thewox  will  bear  without  tearing.  These  near  the 
bottom  being  better  BUppc>rtcd,  are  mor«  tilled  than  tho 
nppcronea.  In  the  centre  of  the  loner  part  of  tbe  hivtt 
WQ  obeerved  an  irregularly  shaped  maaii  of  comb,  fur* 
nisbed  with  cells  like  tho««  of  oar  bees,  all  containing 
voong  ones  in  such  an  advanced  utate  that  when  we 
broke  the  comb  and  let  ihcm  out  they  flew  merrily 
away.'' 

Clavigero,  in  his  Ilidory  of  Mexico,  mentions  a 
species  of  bee  smaller  than  the  last,  and  al^o 
without  a  stin)7,  which  forms  its  nest  in  tbe  shape 
of  a  sugnr-loaf^  and  about  the  same  size.  These 
are  suspended  from  troca,  particularly  from  the 
oak,  and  are  much  more  populous  than  our 
common  hives. 

These  insects,  although  found  In  difTerent  coun- 
tries from  those  mentioned  by  your  correspondent^ 
seem  to  belong  to  tbe  same  species.

Cimious  Bull  Lbgbnd  at  Rrailbs  :  Arms  or 
U3«DKRHILL  (4*"  S.  V.  315,  352,  407.)— There  is 
no  doubt  that  "Argent  a  chevron  sable  between 
three  trefoils  (or  sbnmrocks)  vert "  are  tbe  arms 
of  Underbill  —  a  well-known  but  now  extinct 
family  in  Warwickshire;  at  least,  so  far  extinct 
that  tho  name  \s^  no  longer  found  among:  the 
*^  landed  gentry  *'  of  England,  though  it  occurs  in 
Warwickshire  aa  well  tw  ia  many  other  counties ; 
and  probably  more  than  one  desoent  from  the 
orimnal  stock  might,  hy  a  diligent  search  among 
wills  and  parish  registers,  be  ascertained :  thu 
family  being  in  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth 
centuries  remarkably  prolific,  and  xpreaS  abroad 
among  many  villages  in  the  counties  of  W^arwick 
and  Worcester. 

I  have,  both  in  the  CoUeettmea  Tof^ffraphica 
el  Geiwtlogicii  (vi.  380)  and  in  The  Jierald  and 
Gmfahi/int  (it  127),  collected  several  particulars 
of  the  Underbill  family ;  and  oulv  desire  now  to 
observe  that,  until  I  read  Mr.  "VVALEJiBY'a  and 
Mr.  Kllacombe's  notes  on  the  arms  of  Under- 
bill, 1  was  not  aware  that  they  occur  upon  thrs 
bell  of  Rrailea  as  well  aa  upon  so  many  other 
mediicval  belb.  This  certainly  gives  the  impres- 
Bion  that  the  ancestors  of  the  family  of  Underbill 
might  originally  liave  been  bell-foiindera.  The 
first  of  them  upon  record  I  believe  to  be  William 
Underbill,  who,  according  to  the  Harleian  MS. 
(810,  fol.  12),  lived  "iu  the  year  of  our  Lord 
1423  " ;  and,  on  that  authority,  he  boi-e  the  chev- 
ron with  the  trefoils.  Ilia  son  was  of  Wolver- 
hampton, in  Staffordshire.     Hi*  gttvnd»«o.  i^^^^

pathetic;  but  hid  forte  was  ihe  comic  and  ludi-

latest  eiluHonii,  and  I  ofter  the  following  transla- 
tion as  a  frpeciiuen  of  Pt^tit-Senn'a  humour.  I 
select  the  **Troi8  Verres"  because  it  is  free  from 
falemboura  and  puns,  which  abound  in  Petit- 
Seun'a  writings  and  cjuinut  be  tnmeferred  to  an-

(Ls  we  leoTD  from  the  Koran,  were  subjected  to  hia 
swar. 

T^at  Tadmor  was  built  or  fortified  by  Solomon* 
ia  one  of  those  ill-grounded  but  long-settU " 
opinions  which  no  one  yet  haa  dared  to  questioOi'^ 
"  Wo  have  Biblicnl  autuority  for  the  fact,"  woi 
be  at  once  the  exclamation  both  of  Jewe  and  Chii^l 
tians. 

To  this  I  reply  that,  so  far  as  Biblical  authority' 
ia  concerned,  tlie  question  is  perfectly  open.  There 
are  two  joninff  texta  in  the  Hebrew  tscripturea: 
one  in  favour  ofTadmorjtheother  directly  opposca 
to  it;  and  in  such  a  rase,  where  text«  neutrolh 
each  other,  it  ia  tlte  office  of  criticism  to  step  in  ai 
decide  which  of  the  two  is  tho  better  authority. 

Every  Uiblicol  critic  is  aware  what  aslouniiin^ 
discrepancies  in  the  names  of  persons  and  places, 
especiaih-  of  the  latteri  occur  in  the  diil'exeut  lK>ok« 
01  the  Ilebrew  scriptures.  ,; 

This  ia  particularly  the  case  with  respect  to  the 
names  of  citie« ;  for,  when  the  Jewish  copyistx*  in 
Babylonia  met  with  the  names  of  cities  in  Juilah 
which  were  perfectly  unknown  to  them,  nothing 
was  more  natural  tnan  that  the v  should  commits 
the  most  laughable  blunders.  \Ve  frequently  fiad"^ 
one  local  name  divided  into  two,  oa  Eyn-TUmmoa 
into  Ayn  and  Kimmoa;  and  some  names  are  so 
travestied  as  to  be  almost  inecoiruUuble. 

Even  facta  are  di^jtorted,     What  was  done  by 
one  person  is  attributed  to  auothex.  The  Edomil 
become  Syriana  by  the  easy  cban^'e  of  C31X  int 
DIX ;  and  the  same  victory  is  attributed  in  ona 
text  to  Joab,  in  another  to  AbiahAi,  and  in  a  third 
to  David. 

We  must  admit,  under  such  circumstAD^^  tbajfe 
criticism  has  a  wide  area  for  its  exertions.  Le6 
us  endeavour  therefore  to  applv  it  to  tho  mythical 
dominion  of  the  p>od  King  Hofomon  over  Tadmor. 

It  must  be  admitted  that  Tadmor  wa;^  the  old 
Syrian  name  of  Palmyra ;  on  this  point  there  can 
be  no  reaaouable  doubt.  It  is  plain,  ti'to,  that  it 
must  have  been  a  city  of  the  very  highest  an- 
tiquity, existing  probably  long  before  th«  time  of 
Moses.

From  thenc«  the  curavfiD^  hiul  r  loog  possAge, 
»cros9  the  great  Syrian  desert,  to  DamMcus, 

As  if  for  their  exprt*ti8  riccoiDmodatton,  altnost 
in  the  centre  of  this  route  was  &  fertile  oaida, 
luiTiag  }<priii(f.«  of  water  aud  ifrore*  of  palm  trees. 
This  noturtilly  formed  a  most  convenient  reating- 
place  for  the  tired  travellers  and  their  camels. 
Here  caravans  to  un'I  from  Syria  would  meet  with 
each  other;  and  here  a  city  almost  inevitahly 
Sprung  up,  which  became  rich  as  one  of  the  central 
points  of  traffic. 

It  hftfi  been  popularly  eupooaed  that  Todmor 
received  its  name  from  \Ib  pnJm-treesj  hut  there 
Is  no  dialect  of  the  Semitic  in  which  Tadmor 
could  possibly  signify  a  palm.  In  Hebrew  it 
could  have  no  cignilication  whatever,  for  that 
language  wants  the  root  damar  to  which  it  must 
be  traced.* 

Situat^'d  on  tbe  great  line  of  intcrconrflo  be- 
tween MftsopotHmia  and  T>amtt8CU9  —  in  both  of 
■which  the  f5yrian  langun^  was  apoken — we  must 
ecek  its  meoniug  in  that  lanciiage.  Here  we  find 
an  apt  eiffnification  for  it.  From  the  root  iVmnr^ 
used  only  in  thu  conjugation  Etbpaal.  ore  formed 
noun&  ugnifying  coHffrtfjatio,  ccdus.  Xo  m^ro  ap-

tvae,  in  the  woixls  of  Shal(3peare,the  place  *'  where 
merchants  mnst  do  con^reyatt.^^ 

Having  shown  the  grent  probahilitv  (as  the 
alniwt  inevitable  result  of  its  local  advonlage.') 
that  Tadmor  could  boofit  of  on  antiquity  and 
celebrity  many  centuries  anterior  to  tho  time  of 
Solomon,  I  have  next  to  examine  the  authorities 
whether  that  monarch  was  ever,  except  in  Rab- 
binical fable,  the  master  of  Tadmor. 

In  favour  of  this  opinion  is  1  Chron.  viii.  4-0, 
in  which  we  are  told  that  Solomon  built  or  for- 
tified Tadmor  in  tho  wilderness,  Betb-horon  the 
upper  and  nether,  Baalath,  &c.

couipured  with  thoae  of  the  murilioie  com- 

roe. 

Upou  the  whole,  therefore,  it  seems  perfectly 
dear  that  Solomou  could  not  hare  niEide  himself 
maj»ter  of  Tadinor  eveu  if  he  had  wished,  and  that 
he  hud  no  reaaon  to  deaire  its  posaession  even  if 
it  had  beon  po&sibld  to  Havo  acquired  it. 

2.  Aa  t'i  Tamar-^WMIo  every  one  is  familiar 
with  iho  name  of  Tadmor,  not  one  in  fifty  thou- 
fi^itl,  cren  of  educated  perBons,  knows  auythin^,'  of 
Tdiuar.  And  yet  this  city  not  only  ryally  exiitLed, 
but  wiis  of  intiuitely  more  importiuice  to  the  com- 
m-Ti.  J  of  Solomou  than  Tttdmor  could  have  been. 

1  iio  name  of  Tamar  really  signiBes  a  palm-tree, 
though  Tadmor  doea  not;  and  in  the  vicinity  of 
the*  lormer  city  waa  a  noble  prove  of  palm-trees, 
wtii^Ii,  though  now  deatroyed,  existed  in  the  year 
I  )(><>,  and  ia  particularly  mentioned  iu  two  of  the 
clirouicles  of  the  Crusades. 

Tapiar  was  situated,  not  in  tho  great  doaort  of 
Syria,  but  in  the  wildomesa  of  Judah  and  near 
tJhe  wr.:)tcm  shore  of  the  Dead  Sea.  It  lay  exactly 
on  tho  border  line  which  separated  Israel  from 
ICdoiu,  and  at  the  ea.<itern  extremity  of  that 
U-.r.l**r.  (Ezekiel  ilvii.  10  and  xlviii.  28.) 

'I'he  route  from  Jerusalem  to  Solomon's  port  of 
Eylath,  on  the  Red  Sea,  was  through  Hebron  and 
T*jimr,  and  from  thence  by  the  Wady-el-' Arabs. 
Tainar  was,  therefore,  the  key  to  this  communi- 
C-ition,  and  it  would  have  been  surprisiug  if  Solo- 
ni'iQ  liod  not  fortitied  it  with  thu  utmost  care. 
Eton  io  tho  timo  of  tho  Komant^,  when  it  was 
Lii'iru  as  Tbamara  or  Thamoro,  it  was  a  place  of 
mUiUry  importance  and  defended  by  a  garrison. 

No   pas.snge,  either  in   the   Greek   or  Koman 
^mtera,  will  enable  us  Vj  ascertain  the  e.iavl  site 
Tamar.      The  tables  of  latitude  and  longitude 
emy  ore  obviously  too  incorrect  to  be  at  all 
dod  upon.     It  ia  from  the  chronicles  of  the 
1^  that  we  are  enabled  to  ascertain   the 
w  position  of  this  cit^. 

the  year  1 100  Baldwin  I.,  king  of  JerusAlcm, 
ertook  an  expedition  into  the  Arabia  Nabathsea 
ftr  as  Wftdy-Alusji  and  I'etra.  This  expedition 
narrated   by   ^Vlbert   of  Aix   and   rulcher   of 

bartrcs.     The  account  of  the  Ontt  will  be  found 

the  Ucstfi  Dei  per  Francoi^  fol.  300;  that  of  the 

tt«r  in  the  same  collection,  fol.  405. 

'Jo  comparing  the  two  together,  it  appears  that 

I  king  Hnd  his  party  poased  through  Hebron. 
re  proviftiona  and  fodder  were  scarce,  but  thoy 

im  promised  a  more  abundant  supply  at  a  place 

lirh    Albert  terms   the    JlUa  Puhnaitt/nf   and 

oieb  Fiilcher  calla  Se^or, 


On  arriving  there  they  found  the  place  very 
pleasantly  situated,  and  ahounditiff  in  paim^tre^Sf 
with  whoso  dates  thoy  refreshed  their  hun^ 
stomachs.  *' Quibua  "  (says  Fulcher)  "pro  abi 
placido  vescobamur";  "Quibua"  (quoth  Albert)  I 
'*  corpora  fossa,  escis  jejunarecreaverunt."  Tfaera- 
were  also  other  provtsiona  and  plenty  of  game.  1 
Wine  there  wa::i  none,  but  there  were  fountoinft 
of  sweet  water,  with  which  they  were  obliged  to 
be  content 

In  the  Vilia  Paioiarum  of  Albert  we  easily  r^ 
cognise  the  Tamar  (or  City  of  Palms)  of  the  old 
Hebrew  geography;  and  in  the  Segor  of  Fulcher 
wo  learn  its  identity  with  the  Zuweirah  of  th& 
modem  Arabs. 

The  uituation  of  Zuweirah,  on  the  western  side 
of  what  is  termed  the  backwater  of  the  Dead  8ea^ 
exactly  corresponds  with  that  which  we  should 
attribute  to  Tamnr  ou  the  eastern  extremity  of 
the  south  border  of  Israel. 

It  seems  clear,  therefore,  that  Tamar — on  the 
border  of  Edom  and  on  the  route  to  Eylath.  a 
place  through  whtck  must  have  poised  oil  the 
ciu*avana  bearing  tho  riches  brought  by  Solomon's 
ships  from  the  East — was  a  city,  the  fortitication 
of  which  was  of  the  utmost  importance  to  Solo- 
mon ;  *  and  as  Gezer,  Beth-horon  the  nether,  and 
Baalath  mentioned  in  coanection  with  it  in 
1  Kings  ix.  17,  Id,  were  all  cities  in  the  south  of 
Israel,  we  may  b«  assured  that  Tamar  also  was  in 
the  same  region. 

Upon  the  whole,  we  are  justified  in  assuming^ 
that  Tadmor  in  the  Hook  of  Chronicles  is  merely 
an  error  for  Tamar ;  and  the  leprend  that  Tadmor- 
was  possessed  by  Solomon  lends  no  real  support^ 
to  the  long-cherished  legend  that  the  dominions 
of  Solomon  extended  to  the  Euphrates.  It  is 
merely  one  ridiculous  myth  used  to  bolster  up 
auuther  equally  ridiculous — au  ediiice  of  ice  built 
on  a  treacherous  foundation  of  eaud.

if  the  following  remarkable  instnuca  of 
locaulay's  occamona!  tendency  to  an  atl  caih- 
*  style  of  writinp  has  ever  been  noted.  In 
Cisay  on  the  Life  and  Writiogs  of  Addison," 
i^  speaking  of  Napoleon,  that  Mourad  Hey 
L  not  believe  that  a  man  who  was  ststrfvlt/ 
rt  h'ffh,  and  rode  liko  a  butcher,  could  be 
katost  soldier  in  Europe."  On  referring  to 
Life  of  Napoleon  I  find  that  the  latter,  so 
m  b«ing  scarcely  five  foot  high,  ytms  five 
C  inches  in  height ;  but  had  Macaulay  said 
irt  of  the  effect  of  the  sentence  would  have 
Mt.

[S  BaiDS  OP  LAiruRiiMQOR.*'— In  this  tale 
.  Scott  may  or  may  nut  have  bad  in  bid 
be  fortunes  of  any  particular  familv.  Nover- 
thero  are  a  few  marked  and  cunous  coin-  . 
18  between  the  family  of  Kavenawood  and 
r  Edgar  of  Wedderlie.  or  Woderlie.  Both  ' 
f  the  Merse,  and  Wedderlie  (now  the  pro- 
tf  Lord  Ijlaotyre)  is  situated  at  the  foot  of 


thp  Lammormoor  Hills,  Tho  Master  of  Uavene- 
wood  13  named  Edgar.  Against  tho  "  Wolf's 
Crag"  of  tho  roraonco  we  have  "  Wolfstruther," 
afterwards  Weatruther,  the  parish  of  Wedderlie. 
Kd^mrK&vcnswoud  waa  related  to  the  Humes  and 
Pouglnssos,  so  likewise  was  Edgtir  of  Wedderlie  ; 
but  what  is  still  more  remarktible  (for  the  name 
is  comparatively  obscure),  WA  families  were  re- 
lated to  that  of  Chiealy,  and  at  the  same  assumed 
period. 

The  Raronswoods  were  involved  in  litijjation, 
in  which  Chiesly  was  implicated;  wiiile  m  the 
public  records  (Dension*  of  the  Court  of  Semon) 
at  the  period  of  the  romance,  Edgar  ot  Wedder- 
lie had  a  bittor  lawsuit  with  Chiesly,  tho  tutor 
[guardian]  of  his  father's  younger  children.  Edgar 
of  Wedderlie  was  greatly  impoverished  by  his  op- 
position to  the  Presbyterian  church,  just  as  Edgar 
Hsvenswood  opponed  its  minister  at  his  father's 
funeral.  Both  families  wero  locally  turbulent, 
and  both  at  the  period  indicated  became  impover- 
ished by  always  espousing  the  losing  cause. 

I  admit  that  these  may  be  only  fanciful  resem- 
blances, but  still  they  are  curious  in  proportion  to 
the  celebrity  of  the  romance  in  question,        Sf. 

NKWBPAPERa  OF  THE  LAST  TwO  CeNTXIUBS.  —

they  have  been  ^nulually  Increasing  from  time  to

sum-total  of  the  "  Post "  ilk,  but  if  there  are  any 
more,  I  know  no  better  means  to  complete  my  list

AIT. — Wbatia  tho  derivfttiou  of  this  surname  P 
it  peculiar  to  Scotland,  or  merely  a  variation  of 
English   Tate?     It  is  very  common  in   all 
of  tho  former  kingdom,  where  the  oldest 
inily  of  the  name  appears  to  bo  that  of  Tait  of 
Pirn,  in  Berwickflhire.    The  latter  family  is  ro- 

ruted  to  be  of  gipsy  origin,  but  with  what  truth 
know  not. 

1.  The  late  George  Tait,  ah.  sub.  of  Edin- 
burgh, and  sometime  Deputy  Lord  Lyon,  loft  in- 
torciatin^  holograph  notea  on  this  subject.  Ilia 
own  family  appears  to  hare  come  from  the  parish 
of  Laogside,  co.  Aberdeen,  whtre  lived  \Viliiam 
Tait,  who  had  three  soud,  of  whom  Thomas  of 
Buthlaw  was  father  of  John,  W.  S.  of  Kdinburgh 
auid  of  llarveston  (grandfather of  the  present  l^:)rd 
^  "  ato),  and  George  of  liedbog,  father  of  John 
W.  S.  of  Edinburgh,  who,  by  his  wife  Helen 
was  father  of  Gworgo  (late  subsheriif  of 
ibargh)  and  Alexander,  R.N.,  which  latter 
gin  Edinburgh  io  180C,  bequeathed  his  fortune 
the  great-t^Tfiii^OQS  ^^  ^^^  grandunclo  Thomaa 
It  of  Buthlaw.  George  Tait  of  Jiedbog  left 
fsBue  also  Alexander,  settled  at  Stockton-on-Tces 
in  1810,  and  George,  who  died  unmarried  iu 
Jamaica  in  180-1. 

2.  I  am  not  aware  that  there  is  any  old  extant 
pedigree  of  Tait  of  Pirn. 

3.  A  Dr.  Tait  was  the  6rst  husband  of  the  only 
daughter  and  heiress  of  the  lato  Admind  Alex- 
ander Edfjar  of  Wedderlie,  who  died  in  1817,  but 
I  do  not  know  of  what  family  he  was. 

4.  Helen  Edgar,  wife  of  John  Tait  above  men- 
Uoned,  was  one  of  the  daughters  of  Peter  Edgar 
of  Gridgelands,  by  his  wife  Ann,  daughter  and 
heircf^  of  Hev.  John  Hay  of  Bridgelands.  What

^  Rev.  AcGCsirs  Topi.aj>t,  B. A. — This  excellent 
divine  was  rector  of  Broad  Hembiirv,  17C8-]778y 
and  I  wish  for  information  on  the  following  points 
respecting  him :  — 

1.  One  of  Mr.  Toplady's  hiorrrapbers  states  that, 
at  tho  ago  of  sixteen,  he  was  led  to  think  of  en» 
tering  the  ministry  through  the  means  of  a  lay- 
mim  whom  ho  had.  heard  preach  in  a  barn  at 
Codymain,  Ireland.     Whore  la  Codymain .'' 

2.  Mr.  Toplady  was  ordained  in  Ireland  on 
Trinity  Sunday,  June  0,  1702.  Qu.  where,  and 
by  whom  P  l^hrough  the  courtesy  of  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Dublin,  I  am  able  to  say  that  it  wu 
not  in  th©  dioceses  of  Dublin  or  Kildare. 

3.  Soon  after  his  ordination,  or,  in  the  words  of 
tho  biographer  — 

"  Shortly  after  hin  inltfatlon  into  the  mlnUtrr,  be  was 
iDilucted  into  ibi*  Iniii;;;  uf  UU^don,  Somersetshire,  whi<dt 
vfftfl  procured  by  friends  in  n  manner  very  unn^ual  (?)  j 
but  Ao  flcntpulou!^  wo-H  he,  when  Acquainted  with  the  cir- 
cumstance* that  be  wus  not  cAity  until  he  resigned  iL" 

What  were  the  circumstances  alluded  to? 

4.  He  wa*i  buried  in  Tottenham  Court  Chapel 
on  August  17,  1778,  in  r^t.  thirty-eight.  Is  there 
any  monument  to  his  memory  erected  there,  or  at 
Broad  HemburyP  '      Georob  LlO¥D.

In  Bowringfa  C'heshinn  Anthology  there  is  a  trans-

"  Jaroslav,"  narratbg  tho  overthrow  of  the  Tatars 
under  Kubla  Khan  by  tho  Czechs  in  a.d.  IS'lL 
The  ballad  makes  mention  of  Weston  (evidently, 
from  his  name,  an  Englishman),  who  fights  on 
the  side  of  the  Czechs,  but  proposes,  at  a  critical 
moment  in  the  conflict,  to  strike  his  colours  to  the 
Tatar.  For  this  proposal  he  is  fiercely  denounced 
as  a  traitor  in  disguise ;  and  in  a  note  on  the  paa-

IbtTHftlion  to  "  N.  &  Q.*'  relating  to  the  stiecemon 
to  the  honours  and  estates  of  the  very  ancient 
earldom  of  Mar^  for  which  many  readers  will  feel 


Tery  thank  Tul.  But  there  ia  i>ne  point  to  which 
he  has  not  adverted,  but  which  is  eminently 
carious.  It  is  the  position  and  interest  which  the 
De  Lylea  (Lonis  Lyle),  a  Renfrewshire  familyi 
had  in  that  succession,  and  if  that  interest  wm 
concurrent  with  tho  separate  inttirest  of  the  Ds ' 
Krakiuus  (Lords  £rskine),  aluo  a  itonfrewshire 
fauiily. 

Thtt  sucmasiou  opened,  as  it  would  appear,  to 
both  of  these  families  upon  the  death  of  Alexaodir 
Stewart,  called  the  "Robber  Eurl"  of  Max 
(natural  son  of  the  Wolf  of  Bademoch,  and  hua- 
band  of  Isabella,  daughter  of  William,  first  EaK 
of  Douglas,  by  courtesy  1*^1  of  Mar,  and  of  Mar- 
garet his  wife,  Countess  of  Mar),  which  took 
place  in  143G.  In  right  of  his  wifti,  thU  Robber 
Karl  was  Earl  of  Mar  by  courtesy  ;  and  bj  a  set- 
tlement after  the  marriage  (Dec.  9,  1404),  iht 
earldom  and  its  possesuons  were  destined  by  tha 
spouses  to  themselves  in  liferent,  and  the  heira  of 
their  bodies  in  fee;  whom  failing  (as  wtka  the 
event),  to  the  heirs  of  the  wife,  Isabella,  who  waa 
Countess  of  Mar  in  her  own  right  But,  in 
contravention  of  this  contract,  after  the  death  of 
his  wife,  about  140d,  Alexander  Earl,  as  it  would 
seem,  ejtecuted  a  new  8i*ttlement  of  the  estatei^ 
destining  them  to  a  natural  son  of  his  own,  whom 
failing,  to  Jamea  L,  his  cou^.  (Sutherland 
Case,  p.  35 ;  also  pp.  42-53.) 

At  this  time,  1430 — the  death  of  the  Robber 
Earl  Alexander — Robert,  Lord  of  Erskine,  laid 
claim,  but  yet  only,  to  the  half  of  tho  enrldora  of 
Mar  (^c^i  of  Pari.  r^.  ho)',  and  with  that  view 
was  retonred  heir  of  line  to  Isabella,  CouiiteiS 
(as  Crawford  says  in  his  Peeraffe)^  before  the 
sheriff  of  Aberdeen,  on  April  2*2,  1438,  where- 
upon he  assumed  the  title.  But  the  rainistrT 
during  the  minority  of  James  II.  (as  Crawford 
odds),  instituting  a  process,  had  Lord  Erdkine'a 
title  set  aside,  or  annulled,  nt  the  distance  of 
twenty  years,  Nov.  6,  1457.  {AcU  of  Pari  iL 
App.  62  and  75,  and  Suth.  Caso,  pp.  40-60.) 

About  the  same  periiKl,  too.  Sir  Robert  Lyle  of 
Duchale,  Knight,  tlie  son  of  Sir  John  Lyle,  and  of 
his  wife,  said  to  be  one  of  the  co-heiresses  of  Mar, 
but  who  individunlly  is  not  known — put  in  hia 
claim  to  the  uther  half  or  at  least  to  a  share,  of 
tho  earldom :  and  regarding  whom  and  Lord 
Evj^kinc  it  is  said  by  Bower,  tho  continuator  of 
Fordun,  that  iip'in  the  death  of  Alexander  Earl  of 
Mar  (anno  1438),  ^'et  r^uia  bastnrdus  crat,  rex 
Uli  sucoCv^it,  quamvis,  jure  hereditario,  Domini

land Case,  p.  50.  St^o  id*o  Riddtdl's  lieinarkt,  p.

the  king  succeeded  to  Earl  Alexander,  as  he 
was  a  bastard;  and  on  th?  assumption,  that 
the  full  fee  stood  vested  in  his  person  at  his 
death.  Sir  John  I^le,  in  right  of  his  wife,

Lord  Lyle,  in  fa voor  of  the  convent  of  Paisley,  dated 
»Sept.  25,  1452,  by  which  he  conveyed  to  that 
house  the  third  part  of  his  fishings  of  le  Oruhyt'-

This  would  show  that,  at  this  time — 1452 — six- 
teen years  after  the  death  of  the  Kobber  Earl  Alex- 
ander, Ijord  Erskine  had  no  intention  of  abandoning 
his  claim,  which,  on  the  other  hand,  was  then  to 
be  urged,  tlie  pHce  of  the  fishings  obtained  being 
to  be  Gxpondea  for  that  purpose.

{TrovU,  p.  162),'  and  whether  the  claim  was

iiAue,  J.  M.  will,  as  we  believe,  be  tbe  party  most

USELESS  MON*KS,  ETC.,  DOOMED  TO  DEATH. 
(4*"  S.  V.  196,  320,  437.) 

Thia  question — the  condemnation  of  monks  to 
death  by  their  fallows  on  account  of  age,  intirmi- 
tics,  and  uselessnera — seems  gradually  merging 
into  that  of  the  voluntary  aeff-infliction  of  the 
same  doom  by  any  one  impressed  with  a  convic- 
tion of  the  existence  of  similar  conditions  in  bia 
own  case.

I  have  been  rather  tardy  in  replying  to  hiou,

an  excuse  that  I  delayed  doing  bo  until  1  should 
have  an  opportunity  of  examioiDg  all  Dibdin's  pub- 
lications with  the  view  of  ascertaining  what  truth 
there  is  in  tho  extraordinary  statement  made  by 
LxOM.  F.  in  hia  second  paragraph — namely,  that 
'*  Charles  Dibdin  printed  nnd  published  the  bulk 
of  bis  works  at  his  own  prijUing-oJficeJ"  Being  at 
some  distance  at  present  from  my  library,  I  have 
had  to  pursue  my  investigations  by  means  of  a 
deputy,  and  that  has  caused  some  delay ;  but,  now 
that  my  researches  are  completed,  \  can  with 
safety'  coaUcnge  Lioii.  F.  to  produce  a  tinytt  book 
printed  by  Dibdin,  or  to  prove  that  be  ever  pos- 
sessed a  printing-press  or  office.  That  he  jniblisfwd 
many  of  his  works  I  do  not  deny  for  a  moment, 
but  to  affirm  that  he  had  anything  more  to  do 
with  the  production  of  them  is  simply  absurd. 

Allowing  that  Liom.  F.  in  statug  that  MSS. 
are  returned  to  tho  author  when  copied  in  type, 
although  I  believe  that  iu  most  cases  they  are 
not,  I  must  remind  him  that,  after  being  compared

merable, documents,  unless  of  unusually  good  con- 
sistence, are  generally  only  fit  for  the  wastepapor- 
basket;  and  what  author,  of  the  smallest  worth, 
is  so  stufled  with  self-conceit  as  to  preserve  tho 
rags  of  hia  own  calligrapliic  efforts,  with  tho  idoa 
of  handing  down  a  treasure  to  future  ages  P 

With  regard  to  the  assertion  which  called  furtli 
my  first  letter  on  this  subject  (4"*  S.  v.  21)  I 
cannot  better  show  Liuu.  F.  tliat  be  is  not  right 
than  by  quoting  from  Dibdin's  profeasional  life 
(4  7oli.8ro,  1803).  Herein  he  says  that  in  1787, 
having  formed  tne  project  of  going  to  India,  he, 
in  order  to  raise  as  much  money  as  possible  before 
starting  (amongst  other  expedients^,  sold  off  **  all 
the  musical  compositions  ne  then  nad  on  hand.*' 
Now,  as  he  then  had  produced  all  his  operas 
(sixty-feix  in  nauibcr),wiih  the  exception  of  5roA*7i 
Gofd  and  The  Romid  Rohin^  beeide-s  having  set 
the  music  to  a  dozen  more,  Liou.  F.  must  confess 
that  a  collection  of  his  manuscripts,  minus  these, 
can  barely  be  culled  compiete  or  merit  the  term 
"  till." 

Not  content  with  concealing  his  own  name, 
Liom.  F.  refuses  to  give  that  of  the  granddnugb- 
tar  of  CharlM  Dib  (in  with  whom  he  is acc\vLfcVQV.v.A..

The  Pithlic  Umhceicvil—^  pnmphlet  publiBhed  by 
Dibdin  in  1807,  he  tells  us  that  "eince  tlw  mouth 
of  June  in  1803"  he  bad  received  '*a  tiilliug

in  the  Gmitcman's  Mngajme  (part  I.  1815)  La  in 
error  in  sajing  that  the  government  pension  was 
diacontinued,  and   declarer   that  Dibdin  died  in 

JOAseaaion  of  it,  on  what  authority  I  know  not. 
t  is  true  that  after  his  duath  bis  widow  had  it 
restored  to  her  in  part,  at  the  instance,  I  believe, 
qf  the  Duke  of  Kent ;  but  from  1800  till  then  it 
remained  neglected. 

Again,  LioM.  F.  denies  that  Dibdin  ff\*er  re- 
ceived any  annuity  other  than  this  pension,  utterly 
ignoring  the  fact  that  in  1810,  after  the  failure  of 
hia  shop,  which  resulted  in  bis  bankruptov,  n  Hr, 
Oahloy  made  a  proposal  in  the  Monnng  (chronicle 
of  March  10  of  that  year  to  raise  by  subscfiptioua 
a  sum  of  money  for  the  relief  of  Dibdin's  neces- 
sities. This  resulted  in  a  iiublic  dinner  being 
given  at  the  City  of  London  Tavern  on  April  12, 
at  which  tho  sum  of  040/,  was  raised.  At  Dib- 
din's own  instance  this  money  was  devoted  to  the 
purchase  of  JiO/,  per  annutu  in  the  Long  Annuities 
tor  the  joint  lives  of  himselfi  his  wife,  and  his 
daugliter;  and  there  being  more  than  sufEcieut 
for  tins  purpose,  the  balance  of  60/.  was  paid  down 
to  him  in  cosh. 

With  regard  to  my  descent  from  Charles  Dib- 
din, I  may  inform  LioH.  F.  that  besides  the  son 
whose  lifv  is  briefly  sketched  in  the  clause  "  he 
went  to  sea  and  was  drowned,"  the  sea-song 
writer  had  two  others,  by  name  Charles  and 
Thomas ;  the  former  of  whom  had  a  large  family, 
the  youngest  member  of  which,  Ilenry  Kdward 
l)il>din,  liAving  chosen  mnsic  as  a  profession,  pro- 
Ct*«.-d<.'d  to  Kdinburgh  to  practice  it  when  a  mere 
lad.  rio  died  four  years  ago,  leaving  behind  him 
no  small  reputation  as  a  musician,  and  three  sons, 
one  of  whom  is        Edward  EiMBArLx  DiBonf.

"TRICK":  ITS  DERIVATION". 

(l*"  S.  V.  175.) 

H»j  I  be  allowed  to  repeat  a  query  which  has 
M  yet  received  no  answer,  and  which  will  be 
found  on  the  pa|/e  referred  to  ?  What  I  have 
aioce  discovered  as  to  the  word  in  question  amounts 
to  this: — 1.  That  there  is  a  Latin  word  tHrm 
(with  its  verb  tricfin),  said  to  have  been  adopted 
from  Trica,  an  insignificant  town  in  Apulia,  with 
the  sense  of  anything  triftinff  or  vmmportimt. 
(Pliny,  Nat,  Hik.  iii.  IGj'Mart.  Epiy.  14,  1,  7.) 
3.  That  this  word  has  another  meaning,  not  oh- 
riott^h/  connected  with  the  former,  of  pfrple.riiy, 
:nce,  kc.f  in  which  senso  Cicero  (ns  well  as 
iis  and  others)  uses  it  more  than  once, 
i  Nonius  the  grammarian  explains  it  by  a  hair  or 
_ibroad  put  round  the  feet  of  fowls  to  entanyle 
»mf  but  this  does  not  help  much  towards  cstab- 
iog  a  coauection  with  the  original  meaning 
the  word).  3.  That  in  later  Latin  trica  is  a 
»t  of  hair  (according  to  Ducange,  "  Crines  in- 
:ti,  a  Gr.  Opil,  ut  quidam  volunt,  vel  ex  Latino 
I'ov,  quse  Nonio  sunt  impedimenta  rt  tmplica- 
t).  It  is  used  by  Matthew  of  Westminster, 
\  of  the  hair  of  Queen  Godiva,  who  is  said  to 
re  let  down  her  hair,  triraji  dutuluetu^  so  as  to 
rer  her  whole  body  with  it.  .\lsn,  tricare  is  to 
the  hair  after  the  manner  of  women,  Here, 
1,  we  have  Iwo  ard  possibly  three  distinct  us*>8 
the  Latin  word  trica  and  its  cognate  verb,  and 
so  happens  that  the  English  trick  has  at  least 
TO  distinct  meanings  corr»3sponding  to  these  : — 
I.  Trie/;  =  an  artifice  or  dec-ption,  which  may 
be  compared  with  Xn.  2  of  the  Latin;  2.  The  vero 
to  trick  =  adorn,  a  sense  which  is  not  very  far  re- 


moved from  No.  3.  Besides  these,  we  have  trick  as 
an  heraldic  term  uftud  of  embiazonmetU  of  armx,  &c., 
which  seems  to  follow  from  the  idea  of  adominy, 
and  a  trick  in  games  of  ctirds,  for  which  I  aiii  not 
prepared  to  suggest  a  derivation, 

liut  besides  all  this  there  are  the  Teutonic  words 
triegen  {triigen),  to  deceive^  High  Dutch  ;  irekken^ . 
to  pull,  Low  Dutch,  and  trycJia^  to  delineate,! 
Swedish  — all  given  in  Johnson's  Dictitmary 
being  related  to  trick  in  one  or  other  of  itssenoefci 
So  that  the  word  may  after  all  have  nothing  to  do 
with  trictv  and  tricarif  or  flpf^,  in  any  of  its  mean- 
ings ;  or  it  may  in  one  sense  bo  connected  with 
these,  and  another  sense  with  trekkeUy  &c  Not  to 
mention  another  powibility,  that  triegen  it«e1f  may 
bo  related  to  the  Latin  triicu,  and  not  a  real  Teu- 
tonic word  at  all.  1  should  be  obliged  if  any  of 
your  correspondents  can  throw  light  upon  this 
subject  by  either  disproving  or  establishing  tliO 
connection  between  any  or  all  of  the  meanings  of] 
the  word  iii  question,  especially  with  regaiu  to 
its  two  main  aignificaUons  of  deception  and  onin* 
mmt.  The  inquiry  has  been  immediately  sug- 
gested by  V.  170  of  Milton's  Lycidas,        C.  S.  J. 


Orders  o»  Knighthood  (4^  S.  v.  472.) — Th& 
world  is  a  stage,  but  tho  stage  is  not  the  world, 
and  we  do  not  expect  actors  to  wear  *'off  tho 
boards  "  the  chivalrtc  decorations  with  which  they 
have  been  invested  In  the  greenroom  by  managers*] 
Tho  remarks  ('*N.  &  (^**  4**  S.  r.  4.7'2)  on  a  re- 
cent exhibition  of  egregious  fully  induce  me  toaak 
the  following  questions : — 

i.  Con  any  order  of  knighthood  be  legitimately 
invented  by  any  but  a  reigning  sovereign,  or  by  S 
recognised  government  ? 

2.  Con  the  Grand  Master  of  soch  an  order  confer 
the  honours  of  the  same  prt^id  molu  ? 

3.  Con  any  body  of  men  appropriat«  a  dormant 
or  extinct  order  of  knighthood  (like  a  waif  or 
stray,  without  a  lawful  owner),  and  revive  it  ia 
their  own  persons  ?  This  has  been  done  in  tho 
case  of  "  Templars  '*  and  "  Hospitallersy'*  but  then 
it  is  not  pretended  that  these  new  ordera  are 
identical  with  their  prototypes.  So  likewise  the 
*' masonic  Cout-tantinian  order." 

4.  Is  not  an  injury  done  to  legitimate  rank  by 
the  Bseumptiun  of  style  and  title  by  their  own 
inventors  P  A  captain  in  the  army  or  a  lieutenant 
in  the  navy  may  in  social  intercourse  find  the  joi- 
diumt  generals  and  colonels  of  Italian  and  Spanish 
legions,  or  Bolivian  volunteers,  taking  precedence 
of  them  at  the  dinner-tablps  of  ill-informed  hosts. 

When  even  strictly  just  claims  to  such  dis- 
tinctions are  unrecognised,  owing  to  caused  like 
those  ingenuously  stated  by  the  author  oSBarmuM 
Angtica  CuRcaiUraia  in  his  own  person,  how  much

not  aware  that  there  Is  any  to  prohibit,  under 
pBDaltiea,  tbe  aasumption  of  rank,  on  the  suppo- 
sition perhaps  that  common  senso  nnd  common 
boueaty  are  sutlicient  prevtintivcs.  But  we  all 
know  that  common  sense  and  common  honesty 
are  either  powerless  to  check  this  abuse,  or  that 
society  is  too  apathetic  in  such  cases  to  exert  itself. 
It  is  all  very  well  to  say  "let  us  laujh  at  those 
things,"  but  while  we  laugh  the  impostor  often 
wins. 

I  cannot  forget  the  case  of  a  poor  old  naval 
otticer,  retired  in  conseq^uenco  of  intirmititis  con- 
tracted on  foreign  senicc.  Being,  as  a  lieutenant, 
only  stirled  Mr.  So-anJ-So,  he  found  his  comforts 
and  the  InndUdy's  ntteudance  much  curttuled  in 
farour  of  his  fellow-lodger,  a  Wurtemburg  cigar 
dealer,  who,  under  the  title  of  "Colonel,"  en- 
grossed all  attention.  "  Can't  let  you  have  rour 
tea  yet,  air — the  Colonel's  dinner  is  on  tbe  fire.' 
"Will  you  please  not  ring  so  loud,  sir?  tho 
Colonel  is  a  very  particular  gentleman."         Sp.

'  Sennon  on   the   Wisdom    of  the  World.'    ( IForJin,  by

that  this  principle  was  taught  in  the  Grecian  schooK  and, 
have  referred  to  the  Gorgios  of  Plato  in  proof  of  their , 
luwertion.     But,  if  we  attend  duly  to  tbo  whole  converea- 
tion  of  Socrates  there  related,  we  »hall  find  that  inUead  flC'

LL.D.,  i.33.       ' 

"AmicoB  Flato,  sod  magis  arnica  est  veritaa." 
Wlien  we  rend  the  dialogue  throughout  we  Bud 
that  Plato,  in  the  person  of  Socrates,  declares  not 
that  it  is  requisite  to  do  ill  to  any  one,  but  that  it 
ia  [requisite  and]  **  proper  thai  every  one  who  is 
punidhod  by  another  should  either  bocome  better 
and  be  benefited  by  it,  or  sliould  be  an  exainple 
to  others  that  they,  beholding  liis  sufTeringa,  may 
be  made  better  through  fear."  Dr.  Gregory  s 
misrepresentation  arises  from  hU  omitting  these 
words — "  if  it  is  requisite  to  do  ill  to  any  one  " — 
before  the  passage  quoted. 

Btflow  we  have  I'ope's  well-known  venoa  ex- 
emplified by  the  philosopher,  in  the  same  dia- 
logue:— 

"  Who  oobla  ends  by  noble  means  obtain^ 
Or  failini?,  smiles  in  exile  or  in  chains, 
Like  ^ood  Auirliud  let  bim  live,  or  bleed 
Like  Socrates,  that  man  is  great  indeed." 

''Suffer,  too,  anyoneto  despise  you  aistaptd.fcnd  load 
Tou  with  dif^^raoe  if  he  pleases.  And,  by  Jupiter,  do  you, 
Doing  confident,  permit  him  to  strike  this  ignominious 
Wow.  For  you  will  not  suflor  any  thing  dire,  if  you  are 
in  reality  worthy  and  good,  and  cultivate  virtue."

Baptism  fdk  the  Dead  {^'^  S.  vii.  33;  4**  S. 
T.  424.) — The  foU.-twing  explanation  and  note  by 
FJeury,  in  hia  Maimers  of  the  I$raeiiteg  (part  li. 
5  xix.),  is  well  deserving  of  attention :  — 

**Sacriflccs  were  offered  foi  the  dead,  ttiat  is  to  say 
for  the  remiaiuon  of  tlieir  sius,  as  we  see  Judas  &faccba- 
bens  did  (2  Mac.  xU.  42) ;  and  the  baptism  for  the  dead, 
of  which  SU  Paul  speaks,  was  some  ceremony  of  bathing 
and  pDiidcatlon,  which  was  coniiidered  as  of  advantage 
to  tho  dead,  as  well  as  prayers." 

To  this  is  appended  the  following :  — 

•'  Ab^t— There  would  be  nothing  amblf^oos  in  the 
eSTpreseidu  of  tbe  Apostle  ( 1  Cor.  xv.  29).  had  the  inter- 
preters attended  lo  the  universal  practice  of  believers  as 
well  tu  unbeliovera,  who  alwavs  pnrified  themselves  with 
water  Iwfor e  they  offsred  sacrifice.  To  be  haptl§«H  there- 
fore, or  to  be  purified  or  sanctlflnl,  exprcsacd  a  aeriea  of 
actions — of  which  this  purification  was  the  firat  and 
jnost  indi-rensable,  nnmelpr,  the  preparinj(,  the  slaying, 
~*ld  partakinR  of  the  \dcttm  *,  so  that  to  be  bapii$ed  or 
irilied  for  the  dead  means  ncJtber  more  nor  less  than 
Jfkriag  iaenfiee  for  the  dead.  It  is  a  manner  of  ei-

Hn.  J.  G.  Nichols  has  mentioned,  in  his  in- 
teresting note,  some  mistakes  into  whli*h  Noble 
foU.  It  is  worth  while,  I  think,  to  point  out  some 
fifftber  inaccuracy  in  his  account  of  Tonjce.  Cor- 
xectiJig  the  date  "1&3I/'  in  what  he  justly  de- 


Boribes  as  a  "  barbarous  inscription^'  in  the  church 
of  St.  Mary  Overy,  he  says :  — 

"  ni«  death  titppened  AnKUiit  3,  K'>34.  .  .  ,  Bis  anns 
wer«.  Gules,  n  b«nd  argeut  cottiaed  ox  betvoon  six  raart- 
leta  of  the  third." 

In  the  South  Kensington  Museum  la  a  thinr 
which  is  OS  much  like  a  garter  pinto  as  it  coula 
bo  made.  It.  is  descrlbu'd  on  the  label  which  is 
placed  by  it  a^  a  plaque  of  gilded  copper. 

It  shows  the  foUowiug  inscription  in  Roman 
capitals :  — 

"  THE  .   ARHFS  .    OY     TTTR  .   RTOHTn   .   WORS

Above  this  is  his  shield,  the  tinctures  in  which.  | 
appeared  to  me  to  read  thus:  Per  pale,  Baroiii 
azure  a  bead  cotised  between  six  martlets  or. 

Femtne,  or  a  cheyron  gules  between  three  bird*  | 
vert   (popinjays),    beaked  and   niembered   gules, 
within  a  bordure  azure  charged  with  nine  besoats. 
WhUe. 

Above  this  coat  are  the  words  "Espoer  .  en 
Dien";  and  between  "Espoer"Bnd  '*enIHeu," 
what  looks  like  a  head  between  a  p«ur  of  wings 
strrlched  out  barways. 

The   plaque,    I   presume,  gives  the  real  date 
I  ofTange's  dciith,     Is  oble,  correcting  the  epitaph, 
gives  for  hia  correction  an  error  of  twcntv  years. 
lie  ulao  L^vea  Tonge's  coat  wrongly,  if  the  tinc- 
tures in  the  plaque  have  not  become  changed. 

It  is  painful  to  say  anything  agaiust  the 
literary  reputation  of  a  man  who  worked  hard. 
Noble  publislied  his  2*ro(ectoral  Ilmiae  of  Crom~ 
tceit  when  he  was  young.  But  by  1804,  when  he 
published  his  CoUege  of  Armn,  he  had  had  suffi- 
cient experience;  and  it  is  certain  that  all  who 
consult  his  writingi?  will  find  reason  for  ageing;.

it  in  any  work.  A  friend  ha.s  drawn  my  atten- 
tion to  it  in  a  small  song  bixik  published  by  the 
late  Mr.  Nicholson,  printer,  Kirkcudbright,  184^. 
Mrs.  Lawaou's  version  was :  — 

"  Bat  Roy's  years  are  three  times  mine, 
I'm  sure  hi«  days  can  no  be  moaiQ; 
And  when  that  hu  is  dead  and  Kane,

AS  tho  Treek  foUowinff  Easter  Sunday  was  called 
Kadter  We^k.  But  tnough  the  last  week  of  Lent 
wu  also  justly  entitled  to  be  called  Pa^aloa  Week, 
it  was  distinguished  by  the  peculiar  uftmo  of  Holy 
Weckj  as  tho  French  also  call  it  La  Semame 
Sainte.  It  is  a  constant  source  of  confu^on  and

Passion  Week;  which  would  be  easily  avoided

BEr.L*s  Posra,-- A  late  worthy  publisher  once  decUred 
poetry  to  be  a  drug  in  the  book  trade.  Good  poetry 
would  not  Bccm  to  be  so  now;  elae  bow  can  Messrs. 
Charles  Griffin  &  Co.  contrive  to  re-isAue  tbe  "Ctdlection 
of  Poeta,"  edited  by  tbe  late  Robert  Bell,  £§q.,  with  critical 
and  historical  notes,  memoirs*  and  gIoiiMrie%  haud.*<omely 
bound  in  cloth,  at  U.  3d!,  per  volume  ?  Yet  thiv  i^  what 
they  are  doing,  as  the  first  volumes  of  Butler,  Drydun, 
Tbumsuri,  and  Cowper,  now  before  us  got  up  in  good 
taste  and  Ftyle,  sufficiently  testify.

(jfrmany  should  have  no  corresponding  medium  of  inter-

ATTEMPTED  RE3T0HATI0N. 

There  ia  a  ccrtnin  cIass  aoaong  aut'iuuanw— a 
'  loritj  Tre  would  horte — who  reffftrd  tlie  replac- 
the  fallen  stones  or  onr  me^hthic  structures, 
u  to  make  them  "fit  to  be  jieen/' a  praise- 
)rthy  and  noblo  tnek.  To  this  end  several 
»mptA  have  recently  been  made  to  restore  some 
of  theae  objects  to  their  "pristine  condition," — 
the  work  often  being-  done  in  the  sbsonce  of  the 
eary  data  for  easurin^'  the  placing  of  tho 
•a  in  their  orig-inal  positions.  It  is  needless 
call  any  particular  attuntiou  to  the  so-called 
irationa  of  two  of  the  Jersey  cromlechs  last 
"year,  as  the  subject  hw  already  been  discussed  in 
the  admirable  report  of  Lieut.  Oliver  on  "Pre- 
hifltrtric  Remains  in  the  Channel  Islnnds."*  But 
to  ehow  how  absurd  is  the  attempt  to  restore 
vhen  there  are  no  riews",  clevationa,  or  plans  for 
fuidancti,  I  will  just  allude  to  the  case  of  T^ 
Couperou  trorniech,  Jereey.  Here  one  of  the 
stones,  DOW  placed  as  a  capstone,  is  hollowed  out 
HD.  one  side,  in  a  manner  evidently  artificial.  It 
the  opinion  of  tho  Mewrs.  Lukis  that  each  a 
me  as  the  above  — 

in  ever>'  way  r«>««inUes  nlmilar  stones  which  have 
»rracd  pro{>9  or  diriding-ntones  of  cbambcra  in  the  Brit- 
mv  cromlwhs — two  stones,   each  with   a  semicircolar

aperture,  fVirmtn^  an  entrance  through  which  it  would  be 
pwaiblo  to  t-rawl," 

In   confirmation   of  this;,    1  would  refer  to  a 
woodcut  of  a  cromlech  iu  Lysone'   Our  Britin/t 
AnceaUfrs,  p.  100,*     If  this  really  be  tho  ongiual 
use  of  this  stone,  then  its  present  position  as  a 
capstone  is  evidently  due  to  a  want  of  judgment^ 
OD  the  part  of  tho  restorer.    From  thl;*  lact  olon*- ' 
we  at  once  see   how  arbitrary  the  selection   of 
this  and  other  stones  must  have  been:  for  the 
very  stone  one  archieologist  has  chosen,  another 
if  occupied  on  the  same  task  would  reject.     Bet- 1 
tcr,   therefore,  tu  allow  those  ancient  megalithlc 
titruetures  to  remain  in  that  venerable  iilate  of 
decay  which  marks  their  nntiquity. 

Duriogf  a  recent  vidit  to  the  south  of  Dorset- 
shire, I  made  arran^ments  for  a  trip  to  the  Hell- 
atone — a  cromlech  about  half  a  mile  north  of  thai 
villaj^o  of  Porti.«tham.     IIutchinH,  in  his  JRitiiwy 
of  J)orf*i,  describes  the  fiellstoDe  an    the   only 
cromlech   in   the  county;    but,   since   he  wrote, 
other  sepulchral  chaoibers  have  been  discovered 
and   classed  under   that  name.      Gathering  my 
idoafl  of  its  appearanee  princtpally  from  tho  litlW; 
vipTielte  on  Mr.  C.  Warne's  ilsp  of  Ancient  Dor-  < 
setshire,  I  naturally  expected  to  see  a  somewhat  1 
dilapidated  and  venerable  structure.    Imagine  my 
surprise  then,  on  attaining  tho  top  of  the  hill,  to 
fina  quite  a  dilferent  object  f^im  that  engraved 
on  the  map.     Instead  ol  the  slanting  capstone,, 
with  the  supporters  lying  here  and  there,  all 
now  chxuif;^:  its  present  appearance  remindiutfj 
me  very  stronfrly  or  a  sepiilcnral  chamber  lijafuredj 
on    p.  79   of    VVorsaae's   Thrinuval  AtUtqaities   of 
Denmark.    The  huge  capstone  is  now  placed  over 
nine  supporting  stones,  airanged  on  an  oval  plan, 
flo  lA  to  leave  an  entrance  00  the  Houth-enst.  Who 
placed  all  these  supporters  upright^  I  could  not 
ascertain.     Iu  mv   humble  opinion  this  kind  of 
restoration   shoufd   never   be   encouraged,  if  wo 
wish  our  antiquities  to  Iw  respected :  for  who 
look   oa   an  ancient  structure,  which   has  been' 
patched  up  in  the  nincteaUh  century,  with  the 
same  degree  of  veneration  as  if  it  had  remained 
in  the  hoary  condition  handed  down  to  us  through 
successive  ages  'r* 

The  HellAtone,  I  imagine,  has  not  been  restorod 
for  any  long  period.  1  infer  this  from  informaMl 
tion  received  from  s  little  shepherd  boy,  who, 
although  ho  told  me  he  had  been  but  a  short  time 
in  the  neighbourhood,  said  he  remembered  when 
the  atooeB  were  askew  and  fallen,  pointing  out  to 
me  some  of  their  positions.  I  could  only  posi- 
tively identify  one  of  the  supporters  with  those  in 
the  view  given  by  Mr.  Wame  on  his  map.  This 
stone,  the  supporter  on  the  eouth-west,  has  not 
been  shifted  from  its  former  position.     Some  of

the  other  stones  mAy  be  fi^essod  At,  but  tbej  bsvo 
all  beca  moved  more  or  less. 

Unless  eomo]  r«c-urd  of  ih'is  cromlech-roadjust- 
ment  is  made,  future  wcUseologiats  will  wonder 
how  it  u  that  the  object  itself  so  ontirelv  dis- 
agrees with  the  representation  of  it  given  hj 
Hutcfains  Biid  Wame.  1  trust,  however,  thnt  thtj 
present  note  will  explain  away  all  such  difficulties. 

Should  any  reader  of  ">.  &  Q."  be  nwarc  of 
the  date  when  the  Hellstone  was  restored^  and 
the  partT  who  undertook  the  work,  it  would  be

make  »  r^coid  9^  the  ^ac^  ia  those  jagen.

The  above  remarkM  swm  to  my  to  point  out  a 
;rreiit  dcrtciertdy  in  all  bibliogmpliical  works,  which 
deal  only  with  the  literary  aspect  of  the  8Cteno« 
nnd  those  supcrticiRl  fentures  of  the  tvpo^rnnhy 
which  forco  thoinselvps  upon  the  Rtt*?]Uuin:  while 
tho  punly  mechanioAl  cnorftcteristicfl  of  work- 
niMiphip,  or,  aa  Mr.  Uradshaw  terms  them,  "the 
habit.4  of  each  printer,"  have  boen  entirely  over- 
looked. It  iH  not  dillicult  for  any  person  who  is 
really  interested  in  the  subject  to  ootuin  a  know- 
ledge of  how  punches  are  made,  how  matrices  are 
alrtick,  how  moulds  are  ui»ed,  nnd  how.  as  a  result, 
types  ar*!  cast — theso  operations  belong  to  thfs 
type-foundry.  It  is  still  easier  ii>  pain  acct'ra  to  a 
pnntin^r-onice,  and  observe  the  use  of  compoHing- 
atickj,  chases,  and  presses.  Now  no  one  can 
extract  from  a  book  all  it  can  reveal  of  its  own 
origin,  nnleaA  he  understands  something  of  those 
Iters;  iLod  this  i^  why  so  many  lifteenlh-cen- 
book^  have  been  left  unclti»*i(it?d;  they  aro 
without  place,  or  date,  or  printer's  name,  and  no

and  Pr.  Dibdiu  (J.r.|_irii.-i  n  representative  biblio-

type  nutnbcrs  put  to  tLe  hooka  in  "Typouraphical 
Antiriuilit^s"  are  wionff  ;  nor  can  this  be  a  matter 
of  surpripowhen  we  bnd  Dr.  Dibdin,  in  his  ac- 
count of  Cftxtiin'tt  editions  of  the  Minuur  of  the 
WorfJe,  making  the  following  statement:  **Tho 
type  is  the  same  in  botfa^  only  iu  the  latter  it  has 
what  printers  call  a  fatter  face."  This  Is  iia  seuaible 
as  miyiug:  *' These  two  medals  were  struck  from 
the  same  die,  only  in  one  the  profile  \b  to  the 
right,  and  in  tho  other  to  the  left." 

To  make  progrtM  in  the  elnsaificfttiou  of  doubt- 
ful books,  we  must  adopt  tho  svstem  advocated 
by  Mr.  Bradahaw,  and  with  loving  pereevernnce 
compel  them  to  yluld  up  the  intcrnni  evidence  of 
origm  which  each  one  enfolds  in  its  Isavot^:  >o 
that,  as  the  botanist  nt  once  plucen  u  plant  he  hft« 
never  before  aeen  in  its  proper  class,  order,  and 
genua,  so  the  bibliographer  shall  be  able  to  a&j 
of  any  old  book,  "Thu  was  prints  In  such  A 
countrv  and  in  such  a  town,  by  such  a  printer  and 
in  aiicli  H  year.''  To  accomplish  this  will  only

It  has  often  occurred  to  me  that  a  mo«t  inter- 
esting and  even  valuable  work  might  he  formed 
by  an  asaociation  of  readers — a  work  That  ."should 
record  the  known  rc.-'idence  or  even  temporary 
lodgings  of  any  and  every  person  of  celebrity  in 
past  time  throughout  Kngland,  Scotland,  and  Ire- 
land. There  are  innumerable  addresses  scattered 
up  flud  down  in  prefaces  and  dedications  in  vari- 
ous editions  of  books,  in  Tarions  collections  nf 
letters  and  pamphlets,  in  biographies,  in  old  direc- 
tories, in  parish  records  and  renifltcrs,  ic,  that  i^ 
collected  under  one  view  woulu  be  in  the  highest 
degree  interesting  to  any  person  poaaessed  of  thoi 
least  '*  shaping  faculty.  We  should  find,  for 
instance,  that  Bacon  and  Coleridge  died  at  High- 
gate  ;  the  one  at  Arundel  House,  now  no  more; 
the  other  at  No.  3,  The  Grove,  and  so  on  ad  injini- 
tum.  Such  a  book  would  form  a  route  yet  ofteH' 
eloquent  biography;  proeaic  it  might  be  in  itself, 
yet  of  the  very  easeoce  of  poetry,  aa  "giving  to 
airy  nothing  a  local  habitation  and  a  name."  The 
very  thought  of  it  ndministera  delightful  retl^c.-

Bon  EMI  AX  Balla-D-Literattbe. — The  litera- 
ture of  Bohemia  is  not  much  known  to  English 
readers.  The  single  book  in  the  language,  so  &r 
as  I  know,  which  gives  any  account  of  it  is  Sr 
John  Bowring's  Cheskian  Antholorjff  (London, 
1832).  This  is  a  very  small  volume,  but  one  of 
rare  interest,  and  containing  some  of  the  mort 
characteristic  specimens  of  national  ballad-liten- 
ture  to  be  anywhere  met  with.  In  that  Tcdnrae 
iijir  John  Bowring  gives  an  account  of,  and^  some 
translations  from,  a  remarkable  old  collection  of 
ballad  poetry  in  the  ancient  language  of  tlie 
Czechs,  which  was  accidentally  discovered  in  the 
vear  1817  in  the  vault  of  the  church-tower  rf

for  generations  yet  )mbora.  The  prosperous  effort, 
too,  would  point  the  way  to  other  kindred  endca- 
voura;  for  in  the  real  recognition  of  the  irtie 
brotherhood  of  men,  as  rightly  understood,  lies 
the  only  solid  ground  of  hope  for  the  happy  hoIu- 
tjon  in  the  futur**  of  those  sad  social  problems 
that  darken  tlio  faith,  tnmient  the  conscience,  and 
bewilder  the  iutolU;ct  of  the  men  of  to-dav.

NOTES  AND  QUERIE& 


To  ibis,  in  WoodfaH's  odition,  are  aubjoinod 

the  foUowiag  notes : — 

"The  Oaks. — A  9op«rb  villa  of  Colond  Burgopie, 
about  ihiit  timet  a'lvcr(i«;d  for  wle," 

**The  Macaroni.— The  person  alladrd  to  in  thofaUier  of 
the  prcwnt  Mr.  Chrutte,  wtio  was  Che  auctioneer  cm- 
ployed  to  «eU  the  estate.** 

What  proof  is  there  that  Mr.  Ohristie  waa 
emploTed  to  sell  the  estate,  or  thnt  he  waa  called 
*'  the  Macaroni "  ?  The  name  "  Birnhnm  Wood  " 
does  not  occur  in  the  county  history  of  Surrey  a« 
connected  with  the  e^^tate  of  the  OaIca. 

"  A  number  of  young  ni^n  who  had  made  the  tour  and 
had  returned  from' Italy  with  all  tfaflTicos  and  follieii  tber 
had  picked  up  there,  formed  iheroselTea  into  a  clnb,  which, 
from  thu  di«h  which  particularlydintinguisbod  their  table, 
wa«  called  the  Macaroni  Club.  *  The  members  of  this  club 
oooD  bcoome  diatinguUhi»l  by  the  title  of  Uacaronis." — 
Wrieht's  CarioMtwre  Hittory^  p.  2M. 

"  Lord  Chntham  b^^  tlie  Ea«t  India  Company;  the 
Eut  ladia  Company  begot  Lord  CUve ;  Lord  CUvu  bc^t 
the  MacaroDii,  and  they  lK;got  porertr  ;  and  all  the  raoe 
are  atill  liring.^ — The  Macaronis  bare  loet  all  their  money 
and  cshauited  their  rredit^  and  can  no  longer  game  for 
twenty  thousand  pouud.s  a-nigbt." — Wal pole's  Z.rf^eri. 

These  two  lottera  are  dated  respRctively  April 
177:2  and  February  1773,  whilst  Junitis'b  letter 
is  dftted  June  1772.  "  The  Macaroni  **  of  Junius 
ii  perhans  Colonel  Btirgojue  himself. 

An  obscure  writer  named  ShiUiespeare,  in  a 
scarce  plav  entitled  Mncbeth^  once  wrote  that  Mac- 
beth was  liidden  to 

"  Fear  not  till  Bimam  Wood 
Bo  come  to  Pmuinune.** 

I  therefore  conclude  that  the  Jimian  "  Bimham 
Wood  must  come  to  the  Macaroni  '*  simply  meant 
that  ruin  must  come  to  Burgoyne.

wind  out  of  the  pt-^fir  fellow's  saili,  and  left  him

cnsutiu;;?  a  new  socit-ly  to  perform  this  special 
work,  it  filiould  be  done  by  tlio  co-operation  of 
societies  already  exii»tiujr.  The  main  diiHculty 
about  the  compilation  of  the  glossary  would  be 

the  creation  ol  au  adequate  machinery  for  the  I  English  Pronunciation^  containing  the  aection  fl 
collection  of  wordii,  and  equally  so  for  the  arrange-  :  £n<j^li3h  dialects,  will  no  doubt  contun  valolft 
zucnt  of  the  rude  material  collected.  The  first  |  material  for  the  proposed  glossary.  The  nd» 
would  necessitate  the  presence  of  a  committee  of  ,  the  accomplished  author  of  thta  importmt  wvv 
xvrJbera  in  ererj  shlrc  in  the  land.    Might  not  .  will  be  of^the  greatest  aerrioeL    TkaaaitoCkc 


the  existing  learned  and  Htnvr  aodedea  funiah 
a  machinerr  ready  made  far  both  tbeae  objects? 
The  Royal  Society,  althoogh  founded  ti  the 
'*  advancement  of  natural  ^owledge,*'  pays  so 
little  attention  to  anytjhing  but  natoral  philoso- 
phy that  its  co-operatiun  could  perhaps  not  be 
counted  apon,  in  spite  of  Dr.  Max  Miiller  s  vis* 
dicati<»i  of  philologT  as  one  of  the  phyacsl 
sdenoes.  Sut  the  Society  of  Antiquanea,  the 
Boyal  Society  of  Literature,  the  £tluiolo«al 
Soaety,  the  PLilological  Society,  and  the  Anuzo- 
pological  Society  in  England,  the  Boysl  Sode^ 
of  Jbdinburgh,  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  of  Soot- 
land  in  Xorth  Britain,  and  the  Royal  Hibemisa 
Academy  in  Ireland,  could  certainly  funish  a 
bettor  stafl*  of  collectors  and  sub-editors  thsa 
could  be  otherwise  obtained.  There  should  be 
added  to  this  list  also  the  local  literaiy  sodetiss 
(some  of  which,  the  Literary  and  Philosophical 
Society  of  Liverpool,  and  the  Historic  Society  of 
Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  for  instance,  have  pub- 
lished in  their  Transactions  valuable  papers  on  the 
subjects  of  dialects),  and  also  printing  clubs  of 
the  character  of  the  Camden,  Chetham,  and  Sor- 
tees,  the  Early  English  Text,  Chaucer,  and  Ballad 
societies. 

A  provincial  glossary  would  be  so  ffreat  a  gua 
to  arcIuGology,  ethnology,  and  philology,  snd 
would  throw  such  new  light  upon  the  Eng^ 
language,  manners,  and  history  that  the  associatiooi 
devoted  to  those  branches  of  knowledge  could  not 
fail  to  be  interested  in  the  success  of  the  1md8^ 
taking.  A  circular  addressed  to  them  would,! 
fuel  certain,  bring  forth  a  cordial  response.  Th^ 
members  might  constitute  in  each  district  a  local 
committee  "  with  power  to  add  worlzerg  to  their 
number/'  and  this  enlargement  might  proceed 
until  all  the  students  of  folk- speech  were  included 
in  the  network.  A  point  of  great  importance  15 
that  the  collectors  of  words  should  record  then 
uniformly — in  fact,  is  the  old  diilioultv  about  Iht 
,  absurdly  unphonotic  nature  of  our  ordinary  otUi> 
grapby,  and  its  entire  unfitness  for  representio^ 
dialectic  Hhades  of  pronunciation.  The  alphabtf 
of  Mr.  Isaac  Pitman,  although  well  fitted  for  re- 
presenting the  sounds  of  convcniional  £ngUih,ii 
also  inadequate  for  the  purpa^e.  A  few  yeanap' 
this  would  have  been  a  serious  difficulty,  but  tk* 
physiological  alphabet,  so  long  despaired  of,  hsc  at 
last  been  invented.  In  Mr.  Melville  Bell's  Haifr 
Speiili  we  have  a  scientific  and  exact  method  of 
registerinfT  all  spoken  sounds,  and  in  the  glooo- 
type  uf  Mr.  Ellis  wc  have  the  scheme  adapted  v

editor  and  reader  leads  me  to  postpone  any  re- 
markfi  upon  them,  and  to  content  myself  witU 
UTgin^  the  advisabUity  of  compiling  coucurrently 
with  the  glossary  a  bibliograpay  of  the  Uterataue 
of  provincial  dialects.  Some  of  the  dialecU  are 
T«ry-  rich  iu  talee  and  poems.  Perhaps  the  most 
«xtonfiivcly  cultivated  ia  that  of  South  I*anc*- 
shire.  A  bibliography  of  worln  in  thu  dtalect, 
which  ia  now  being  prepared  for  the  press,  con- 
tains about  200  titles.  The  Yarkfihire  dialeota 
most  be  almost  equally  prolific.  Whatever  plan 
of  operations  may  bo  dycided  UDon  I  shall  bu  glad 
to  give  such  fiUgbt  aid  as  may  oe  iu  my  power  to 
the  proposed  provincial  gloi^sary.

The  Completion  op  St.  Paul's  (4**'  S.  v. 
629.) — Without  entering  into  all  the  points 
mooted  by  your  friendly  correspondent  Y.  C  K, 
in  connexion  with  the  completion  of  St.  Paul's, 
I  c&n,  I  think,  reassure  him  on  some  of  them. 
It  is  certainly  intended  to  replace  the  iron  scieens 
or  grating  in  tlie  two  easternmost  bays  of  the 
4;hoir.  It  is  intended  to  construct  a  screen  — 
though  not  the  old  organ  screen  —  across  the 
westera  end  of  the  choir.  With  respect  to  the 
erection  of  the  great  organ  in  the  south  tran- 
eept,  it  is  the  intention,  I  believe,  of  the  com- 
mittee, to  use  your  correspondent's  words,  '■  to 
stay  th^r  hands  in  reference  to  "  any  such  works 
as  this,  or  to  the  re-erection  of  the  organ-ecreen 
XQ  the  north  transept  And  most  certainly  it  is 
their  intention  '*  to  apply  themselves  vigorously 
to  the  completion  of  ottr  part,  viz.  the  choir. 
Although  it  is  true  that  HifiOOI.  have  been  ex- 
pended, it  ought  to  he  known  that  as  much  as 
11,000/.  of  this  sum  has  been  9pcnt  on  alterations 
made  specially  for  the  i^unday  Evening  Services, 
mx)d  on  the  purchase  of  the  great  organ  (nearly 
2000/.)  It  muv  interest  your  readers  to  know 
that  u  great  public  meeting  to  launch  the  new 
achumo  will  oe  held  at  the  Mansion  House  on 
July  13,  and  it  ia  very  important  to  make  this 
meeting  a  succefis.  S.  P. 

l>Tt   T>fimn  (4»*B.  V.  504.)— Mb.  Grosabt  is 
ti  "wct  in  speaking  of  "the  original  and 

fcii  ;^  of  The  Anatomif  (1011-1021 ),  and 

tlu*  -"^h.-uj  of  JCjn'f/nimJ9  (100S).    Of  the  former

This,  I  presume,  is  the  one  referred  to  by  Ma, 
Grosakt  as  in  his  possession.

ut  his  shop  in  Saint  Dunstoni?  Churchyard  In

othei-  edition  referred  to  by  Mb.  ukosaut. 

Fourth  in  1625,  with  a  woodcut  border,  and 
similar  title-p^s  to  the  Two  Anniversaries,  but 
"  Printed  by  W.  Staaaby  for  Tho.  Dewe,  and  are

Of  the  Sheaf  of  Epi^rmtUj  I  do  not  know  of 
any  separate  edition.  It  is  in  great  part  a  collec- 
tion of  filth,  which  the  reverend  translator  had 
not  the  decency  to  leave  under  the  veil  of  its 
original  language.    It  is  called  —

with  which  is  often  bound  up  tho  volume  of

Epistle  Dedicatorj'  to  Sir  H.  Vany,  Junior.  The 
only  interest  in  the  Epigrams  is  in  those  that 
refer  to  Donne's  adventures  in  early  life,  when  be 
was  **  at  the  siege  of  Duke's  Wood/'  or  Bws-la-

Orosart  will  he  more  successful  than  I  have 
been  in  discovering  to  whom  various  poems  of 
Donne's  were  addressed.  Cpl. 

Baptisic  por  the  Dead  (3"*  S.  vii.  33 ;  4"'  S.  v.

CkVTkvs  PRUrGtr.  of  the  CKxiArB  (4'*"  S.  v. 
83.) — In  the  story  hero  given  of  John  Lauder  and 
hiB  daughter,  a  Captun  Prinsle  of  H.M.'s  ship 
CeDtaur  is  introduced  as  a  "  Dcua  ex  machina, 
and  he  is  said  to  have  been  not  many  yoars  after- 
wards miraculously  saved  from  shipwreck  when  tho 
Centaur  foundcreii  at  sea,  &c.  Now  I  happened 
to  remember  very  well  reading,  when  a  boy  (per- 
haps nearly  sixty  years  ago),  an  account  of  the 
loss  of  that  vessel,  and  of  the  subsequent  court- 
martial  held  upon  her  captdn,  who^c  name  was 
John  W.  Inglefield ;  and  on  reference  X  find  them 
in  the  Atmual  Reguter  for  1782,  of  which  I  still 
possess  the  copy  which  1  read  so  long  ago.  Of 
Captun  Pringle  and  Hostess  Palgrcen  I  know 
nothing ;  but  if  it  was  really  the  captain  of  the 
unfortunate  ship  Centaur  that  Mr.  Keecb  refers 
to,  he  has  clearly  mistalven  the  name.  Captain 
Infflefield  was  acquitted  of  all  blame,  but  he  seems 
to  have  been  never  afterwards  employed  or  pro- 
moted, and  his  name  stood  for  many  long  years — 
nearly  half  a  century — in  Uie  list  of  superan- 
nuated and  retired  captains  of  tho  Boyal  Navy.

UlTOBBniLL,  A.  MeDI.TSVAI.  BELL-FOtrWDER  (4* 

S.  T.  499.)— The  first  William  UnderhUl,  of  1423, 
upon  record,  as  given  by  Mr..  Shirley,  certainly 
may  have  been  a  bell-fuunder,  nor  has  any  proof 
yet  been  shown  why  he  may  not  have  oeen 
'*  William  Founder,"  whoso  stamp  on  bolls  ia  so 
well  known  to  campnnists :  but  the  latter  is  rarely, 
if  ever,  found  in  conjunction  with  the  trefoil 
shield.  All  the  bells  bearing  those  stamps  are 
about  that  period.  Impaling  theee  arms  with  Por- 
ter, three  bells  1454,  is  a  curious  coincidence,  but 
three  bells  were  the  favourite  stamp  of  many  bell- 
founders  OS  well  as  of  many  Portcvt.  Three  hells, 
two  and  one,  wore  the  sign  of  Uudhall  at  Glou- 
cester, aud  I  rather  think  tho  early  members  of 
that  family  used  a  similar  stamp  on  their  bells.

DATING  Letters  (J***  S.  v.  480.) — It  has  long  been

mining who  the  persons  rej^resented  are.  Mont- 
gomery bad  served  in  the  English  army,  and  was 
at  Wolfe^s  capttue  of  Quebec.  He  retired,  and 
settled  in  the  State  of  New  York.  When  the 
war  between  Great  Britain  and  the  N'orth  Ameri- 
can Colonies  broke  out,  he  espou.sed  the  cause  of 
the  latter,  was  given  a  commoud,  and,  at  th& 
cloBfi  of  tho  year  1775,  was  with  -Vrnold  engaged 
in  the  Attack  on  Quebec.  Un  the  night  oi  De- 
cember tiO,  Montgomery  led  the  lower  stormin? 
party,  which  was  to  proceed  by  Drummond 
Wharf  and  the  road  now  called  Champlain  tStrect 
to  the  Main  Uate,  where  Carletou  stood  ready  to 
meet  the  Americaas.  Montgomery's  men,  after 
passing  with  difKcultv  through  the  ice  and  snow, 
wore  confronted  hy  aljattery  drawn  up  across  the 
road,  and  defendetl  by  fifty  Canadian  militia  under 
Captain  Chabot,  and  nine  sailors  under  Captun 
BamsfiLrc,  niaatcr  of  a  transport  in  the  river.  Tho 
Americans  ruahed  at  tho  Dsttery,  but  wore  re- 
pulsed. Montgomery  was  killed,  beeidea  Captain 
Macphcrson  (his  aide-de-camp)  and  Captain  Cnees- 
man,  Colonel  Campbell,  wno  succeeded  to  the 
command,  recalled  the  troops  and  Quebec  waa 
safe.  In  1818  the  United  States  government  ap- 
plied for  and  obtained  Montgomery's  body,  which 
was  buried  in  St.  Paul's  church,  New  York.

A  Riddle  (4»»'  S.  v.  505.)— I  think  the  riddlo 
may  be  thus  solved.  The  woman  has  married  iul 
old*  man,  whom  we  will  call  John  Jones,  and  has 
by  him  a  son,  Qeorge  Jones.  Ho  had  before  been 
married  to  a  woman  whom  we  may  designate  as 
Mary  Smith.  She  was  a  widow,  left  with  two 
children  by  her  former  husband.  Thdso  wo  will 
call  Edward  and  Ann  Smith. 

Now  if  we  suppose  the  second  wife  of  John 
Jones  to  die,  and  her  daughter  Ann  Smith  to 
marry  the  old  man  John  Jones,  and  to  havo  a  son 
by  him,  George  Jones,  we  shall  be  able  to  account 
for  her  relationship  to  the  three  yotmg  men.  Th& 
[irst  13  James  Jones,  and  is  her  brother^  being  the 
son  of  her  mother's  second  but<hand. 

The  second  U  Edward  Smith,  her  own  brother^ 
hv  lier  own  father  and  mother. 

The  third  is  G«orge  Jonea,  her  own  son ;  and 
all  three  are  in  some  way  sons  of  h«  Vrta^s^sai,

1,  This  last  in,  so  far  as  I  can  discover,  the 
ffinftl  niithority  for  an  edition  of  1641,  and  I 
ibelieve  in  the  existence  of  such  third  edition 
the  following  grounds.     Gitiford  mentions  none 
cb.     He  only,  under  the  words  '*  second  folio," 
speaks  of  the  second  volume  of  1040  as  having  a 
variety  of  dntea  from  IChM  to  1641,  and  as  incor- 
rectly printpd,  and  probably  from  MSS,  surrep- 
titiously obtftint'd.     I   lirtVB  myself  been  unable 
to  iind  a  liUl  edition  of  either  volume.    That  of 
1040  H^ty'i's  with  both  Lowndes'  second  and  third. 
Vol.  i.  t^U.  Bi.'thop's)  has  the  portrait  nud  frontis- 
iece ;  vol.   ii,    (K.   Mt'iphen'a)   the  varied  dates

piece 


sagg^eAts,  and  doubtless  correctly,  that  Lowndes 
misandentood  Gitfofd,  and  tinding  l«m  dates  in 
the  1640  folio,  ^ave  a  deacriptiou  of  a  i^uppoaed 
third  or  1041  edition,  which  13  reallv  a  deacrip- 
tiou of  that  of  1640.  The  same  gentleman  also 
informs  me  that  the  copy  sold  at  Home  Tooka'a 
Bale,  and  quottd  by  Lowndes  as  on**  of  Iftil,  is, 
as  shown  by  the  oale  catalogue,  one  of  1(340. 

2.  Aiter  examination  of  a  number  of  copies  I 
disbelieve  in  the  existenco  of  the  so-callea  first 
edition  of  the  second  volume  in  1631,  and  have 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  there  is  but  one  edi- 
tion of  the  second  volume,  that  of  1040.  Take 
away  the  cenersl  tirle-pa;je,  "  R.  Meighen,  1040," 
and  there  is  left,  as  in  the  Britii'h  Museum  copj, 
the  particular  titlo-pape  of  linrthohmexD  Fttir 
1031,  and  all  such  copies  are  so  far  iiriperfect.  Go 
by  the  particular  Utlc-pagoe  of  Mortimer  nud 
Ih'scovfnegj  OT  by  that  of  some  copies  of  The 
Devil  is  an  Ax»^  and  there  is  obtained  nn  edition 
of  1841. 

3.  .\a  jnat  noted,  the  first  or  1040  edition  of 
vol.  ii.  varies  as  to  this  lost-nnmed  play.  Some 
copies  have  the  "  J.  K.  for  R.  Allot"  edition  of 
1031 ;  others  have  an  edition  with  the  device  of  a 
awan,  "Imprinted  at  Loudon,  1041."  The  ei- 
pUuntiou  diiubtlePB  is,  that  the  copies  of  1031  ran 
short  of  the  demand  for  the  coUcctod  volume,  and 
that  the  publisher  of  the  latter  reprinted  the  play. 
This,  however,  no  motQ  make^  u  second  volume 
edition  of  1041  than  does  Murf inter  or  the  Dia- 
roveneH.  nil  the  copies  of  which  ap>  dnt^-d  1041, 
What  It  does  make  is  a  so-far  variant  edition  of 
1040. 

4.  The  frontispiece  title  by  Hole  of  vol.  i.  1640 
(I  have  omitted  to  examine  Vaugb an' s  portrait) 
is  printed  from  the  plate  used  for  the  volume  of 
lOlO,  but  retouched.  The  lirst  1  of  Beniamin  ia 
altered  to^,  and  the  publishfr's  name  and  address 
and  the  date  are  chantfed.  Founding  on  a  minute 
collation  of  lai^e  portions  of  the  volume,  my  con- 
cluaioDs  are — That  it  was  printed  from  the  1610 
folio.  That  there  are  a  luouerate  number  of  prin- 
ter's eiTors,  but  that,  oxdusive  of  that  frrqitcnt 
printer's  error,  the  droppina;  of  words,  many  of 
them  are  very  trilling.  That,  as  a  rule,  both 
words  and  punctuation  have  been  very  carefully 
followed.  Thnt  words,  stops,  and  the  apostrophes 
that  indicate  the  scansion  are  occadonally  cor- 
rected iu  a  manner  not  to  Im?  accounted  for  oy  the 
care  and  pains  of  any  ordinary  or  mechanical 
press  reader,  especially  if  the  uncorrected  errors 
noticed  above  be  also  taken  into  account.  As  an 
instance,  I  would  espectatly  refer  to  the  notes  on 
i=ome  of  the  masques,  which,  from  alterations  of 
tvpe,  references,  and  admixture  of  Latin  and 
(Wet^k,  are  difficult  printio).%  hut  in  which  a  press' 
error  bardlv  ever  occurs,  and  where  the  errors  of 
the  original  in  references  and  in  l^jitin  and  Greek 
are  invariably  corrected.     Lastly,  I  believe  that

Home  of  the  above  corrections  uiu6t  have  been 
made,  and  that  oth«r«  wero  probably  made  by  the 
author.  Troui  all  ihew  particulars,  thexefore,  my

STATISTICS  OF  LAIs'GUAOE:  SANSKRIT. 

As  one  step  towards  elucidating  some  philolo- 
pical  problems  I  have  arranjred  tlie  roots  of  the 
t^anskrit  lan^age  under  ICnplish  voeable«,  aa  a 
kind  of  rereraed  dictionary,  hut  including  in  the 
arrangement  erorr  fairly  established  radical  in  the 
lan^a^.  Whife  indexing  the  matter,  the  fol- 
lowing statistics  came  out,  which  I  hope  may  in- 
terest others  engugi^d  in  similar  inquiries.  The 
figures  are  the  more  interesting  from  having  arisen 
by  the  purest  accident. 

There  are  between  1700  and  1800  original  San- 
skrit roots.  The  exact  number  will  he  about, 
1780.  These  have  been  registered  under  646 
English  Tooables ;  but  na  many  of  the  roots  hare 
been  repeated  under  svnonymea,  and  from  differ- 
ence or  conjugation,  &c.,  it  results  that  the  ar- 
rangement includes  5668  apparent  roots,  pivinRaa 
nven^are  of  8-i!  meanings  to  each  radical.  Nov 
these  60J38  apparent  roots  are  moi>t  unequallj 
divided  over  tneir  045  English  representatiTefc 
180  words  have  only  rme  root  each  ;  nn  the  othel

in  Ihe  afternoon,  in  aerviee  time,  then  happened  *  rery

they  could  aot  we  10  read :  ioon  after  a  terrible  and  fear- 
fal  thunder  was  heard*  tike  the  noiaa  of  m  many  great 
f^ttas,  accompanied  with  dreadfal  lightning,  to  the  ^rcat 
amazemejit  of  the  people;  the  darknees  ^till  increaMDg 
that  they  coald  not  Me  each  other,  when  thuro  prcaeiitly 
<ame  such  an  extraordinary  flame  of  lightning  as  filled 
the  churcli  wtih  fire,  (tmoak,  and  a  toaChsome  amell  like 
brimstone  ;  a  boil  uf  tire  came  in  likewiae  at  the  window 
and  paBSMl  through  th«  churcb,  which  m  alTritlhted  the 
oongTcgalton  that  moil  of  llicm  full  down  in  their  seats; 
aome  upon  their  knetu,  othura  on  their  faoei,  and  soma 
one  upon  anotlier,  cr^-ing  out  of  burning  and  iH.>aIdiDg, 
and  giving  themselves  up  for  dead.  There  were  in  all  four 
penoD9  killed  and  «Uty-twohun.  dircrs  of  Ihcm  having 
their  Unen  burnt,  though  their  outward  garments  were 
noiso  much  atj  fiiogcd  ....  The  churcb  itself  woe  much 
torn  and  defaced  with  the  tbuiulcr  and  li^btuing;  a  beam 
'whereof,  breaking  in  the  raid^j  (vll  duwn  between  the 
xoinlator  aud  the  clerk  and  hurt  orttbcr.  The  »tceple 
waa  mach  wn;ut ;  and  it  was  ob»eived  where  the  churcb 
w^as  most  torn,  there  the  least  huK  wax  done  among  the 
people.  There  were  none  burtail  with  tbo  timber  or  stone* 
which  might  eauly  happen,  Hnc«  lUann  wero  thrown 
down  from  the  »tceplc,  a^  fa^t  as  if  it  had  been  by  a

"  Ushaj^  w'g  ruy  "  for  "  Uabag  beg  my."  Manks- 
men  seem  to  be  rather  careless  about  initial  muta- 
tions. Mr.  Harrison  lias,  for  instance,  *''sy 
Ourra^h  "  in  place  of  "  'sy  CIAurragh/*  and  I  have 
met  with  other  examples  from  time  to  time.  It 
would  be  intorestinp  to  know  if,  in  the  older 
Manx  dncumonts,  prepositions  followed  by  an 
Article  over  edipMi  the  initiul  of  the  noun  they 
precede.  If  fo,  we  can  onl^y  look  upon  the  modern 
custom  as  ft  sipTi  of  decay  in  the  diftlt>ct  Should, 
however,  the  initial  chanjre  have  been  confined  to 
aspiration,  nn  oocaflional  disre;rard  of  the  rule  for 
the  pake  of  euphony  may  have  been  sanctioned 
by  custom. 

"l  cannot  bring  my?olf  to  think  that  Mr.  1?f..vle 
has  hit  on  thf  meaning  of  Mifhcharnine.  It  pccms 
to  me  thatj  if  it  had  been  intended  to  ap])ly  such 
a  nickname  to  the  miser  as  "Mikey  Sandiil,"  wc 
should  find  him  called  Mail  ny  gnrramyn,  ami 
not  Mj/ifthftrfunef  which  may  be  no  more  than 
the  popular  pronunciation  of  Myhrniine.  This,

The  Completion  of  St.  Paux's  (4**  S.  t.  520,

assure tho*e  who  sympatbifte  with  tlie  objecliona 
raised  in  nty  former  not«.  If  1  understiuid  rightly, 
the  old  **  return '^  stalU  are  to  b©  removed  from

moflt  deairnble — to  their  original  potation.  My 
objection,  however,  was  to  opening  out  the  two 
baya  immediately  east  of  the  bishop's  throne  and 
organ.  S.  P.  may  remember  that  the  whole  of  the 
stttU-work  was  a  few  years  eince  lowered,  and  re- 
moved one  bay  west.  Xo  doubt  thiti  waa  a  most 
expensive  operation,  and  fnrraed  on«  of  the  altera-

Mbxoirs  op  Carouna  Matilda,  Queen  of 
DsXMARK  (4'''  S.  ii.  iJ26,  Ol3.*)--lt  now  appears 
that  I  have  been  veiy  bold  in  aaserting  (see 
p.  613^  that  no  memoir  of  this  "  unhappy  min- 
ceas "  is  registered  either  by  Kayser  or  by  Que- 
rard,  for  Qudrard  at  least  hax  registered  it.  W. 
must  therefore  excuse  me  if  I  involuntarily  led 
him  astray.  I  say  invaiimUtrily^  for  at  the  time  I 
wrote  my  answer  I  was  reallv  convinced  of  its 
correctness.  It  is  (juite  by  cliance  that  I  dis- 
covered my  error  in  the  (moat  excellent)  new 
edition  of  Qu^rard's  Superclienvs  litteraireSy^  as 
issued  by  Paul  Dallis  in  rnris.  Glanciug  over 
the  articles  of  the  la^it  part  publi&hed,  I  all  at  once 
met  with  the  followiu;^ :  — 

**  'Heine  infortunce  (udc).  [CaruUae-Mathild^  rcine 
de  Danemarck.] 

"M^iuoires  d' ,  cntremdlcs  de  li^ttrcs  tfcritw  par

The  *  in  front  of  "  Heine  "  signifies  that  the 
article  is  not  contained  in  the  old  edition,  so  that 
my  innocence  is  clearly  proved.      H.  TiEnEUAN'.

"StrMMTM    JC8,    SUMMA    INJURIA**    (4""  S.    T. 

317,  433.) — I  have  met  with  an  approach  to  this 
adage  twice  in  the  first  volume  of  Henry  Crabb 
Robinson's  Diary,  lie  speaks  of  "  Adam  Weia- 
hnupf  (the  founder  of  the  lUummati)  saying: 
'*  He  even  went  so  fur  an  to  esy  that  there  are 
occasions  when  it  is  foolish  to  be  just*'  (p.  104). 
Also,  Kobiusou  quotes  the  following  line :  — 

"  For  riglit  too  rigid  luirdens  into  wrong," — p.  324, 
but  does  not  give  the  author.

I  make  tbefollowing  extract  from  the  **  Surrey 
Booke  of  Norham  and  Islandshire  taken  in  the  ^ 
yeare  of  our  Soueraigno  Lady  EliEabeth,  Quvene 
of  England,  France,  and  Ireland,  Def.  of  the

Tfae  foundatiunn  of  this  old  Border  Peel  can 
still  be  traced.  Thornton  Abbey  in  Lincolnshire 
(see  *'  N.  &  Q.**  T*  S.  vi.  4S5)  appears  to  have 
been  strongly  fortified. 

I  am  under  the  impTKSsion  that  HomcTooke,in 
the  Diveraiom  of  Ptirfty,  also  states  that  the  word 
Thornton  implies  a  fortiticd  place ;  but,  as  I  am 
not  quite  sure  of  this,  I  can  only  ftfty  that  should 
your  correspondent  look  through  the  Divtmioiu  of 
Parley  and  fail  to  Iind  tho  word  in  question,! 
hope  he  will  bo  rewarded  and  gratiBed  hj  the 
abvmdant  and  choice  dissertations  on  other  words 
which  ho  will  there  meet  with.

I  see  no  reason  wliy  this  local  name  should  sot 
bo  understood  in  its  most  apparent  sense — ''the

was  aware  of  thU,  and  brought  th^?  matter  before

eeverai  Yetminster  people  came  up  to  London  to

Jeaty.  Two  people  of  that  name,  very  old  and 
poor,  are  still  living  in  the  pari^ih,  and  in  the 
churchyard  are  tombstonefl  in  memory  of  mem-

Easter  Sunday  was  called  by  soma  of  the  Romaa

Neal  U  commonly  considered  tbe  most  appropriate

and  the  like,  are  still  given  to  children,  but  I  am 
not  sure  that  they  retain  their  name  of  "  pasche- 
eggs."  Presents  of  eggs  and  buns  are  al^o  mada 
on  Good  Friday.  Young  folks  go  on  Salurdar 
to  the  nearest  market-town  to  buy  some  small 
article  of  dress  or  personal  ornament  to  wear  for 
the  hrst  time  on  Enster  Sunday. as  otherwise  they

which  would  injure  the  reputiUion  of  families. 
Tho  only  namo  which  ha  .«<pe(.'inos  is  that  of  Sir

Some  time  ago  I  observed  a.t  the  west  mi  ii 
St.  Peter*8  church,  Derby,  two  pieces  of  asndtfoss 
i«lah,  both  broken^  and  eacb  apparently  taken  fn« 
covering  a  grave  in  the  floor.  The  smaller  ncci 
contained  the  shield  of  amis  whicli  I  will  d^ 
scribe,  for  the  sake  of  which  I  hare  ventored  ta 
make  so  long  an  introduction.  The  bhield  mat 
sures  GJ  inches  down  tho  middle,  and  uj  acnm 
It  shows  tico  inescochcons  recerscd — that  is,  vitH 
the  base  turned  to  the  chief ;  one  in  ti$tider  dddl 
the  other  in  tho  base.  None  had  ever  been  carred 
in  tho  dtixtor  chief.  The  pbield  and  the  two  ii- 
escoohoons  are  all  incised,  heater-«haped,  xstlur 
bn>ad  at  tho  point.  Outside  the  alueld  na  tiie 
siniHtcr  side  aro  incised  tho  tvords  **  3UNnC

letter.  An  incised  inscription  remains  co  du 
edge  of  the  stono,  which  might  give  a  name:  Int 
the  extremely  inconvenient  posture  of  the  stoM 
and  tho  darkness  of  tho  end  of  tho  chuxch  his- 
dered  me  from  reading  it. 

I  do  not  know  any  other  example  of  this  low- 
ing. To  me  it  opens  quite  a  now  path  in  henldi: 
detail.  And  it  is  an  odd  circum.stance  that  Lei^

Gerard  lA-igh  (p.  1.'57)  gives  a  shi*Od,  "gulet

however,  that  Guillim'a  qualiticaiion  does  iu>t 
apply  to  the  instance  which  I  now  prodace,  ui 
that  eacochoons  reversed,  and  nne  abated,  ciinwl 
mean  anything  but  intentional  dishonour.  If  1  id 
right,  we  have  hero  on  this  stone  at  Derbr  ir

AsnrR. — The  meaning  of  this  won!  in  the  Pen- 
tateuch (Ocn.  X.  11)  has  ever  been  the  subject  of 
difference  of  opinion  among  commentators.  They 
seem  all,  so  far  as  X  know,  to  have  taken  It  for  a 
proper  name ;  but  while  some  read,  "Ashur,  a  per- 
Bon,  went  out  and  founded  Nineveh,^'  so  others 
take  it  for  tho  name  of  the  country  called  Assyria, 
and  read,  "  some  one^robably'  Kimrod — went 
into  Assyria,  and  founded,"  &c.  'in  avery  curioua 
book  I  read  some  time  ago,  The  Two  Bahylomj  by 


th«  Rev.  Alex.  Hislop,  Fzeechozch  numstfr,  i> 
broath,  the  author  says : —

Once  upon  a  time  King  John  resolved  to  ascertain 
the  tongue  natural  to  man,  or,  iu  other  words^ 
the  language  of  Paradise.  For  this  purpose  he 
caused  sundry  infanta  to  be  immured  in  a  lonely 
stronghold,  and  attended  to  by  a  solitary  keeper, 
who,  undor  the  pain  of  death,  was  forbidden  to 
speak  or  make  the  slightest  ot tempt  at  articula- 
tion in  their  presence.  After  the  laps*^  of  some 
yeara,  the  king  went  to  test  the  value  of  the  ex- 
periment. Judge  of  his  m^e-f^ty's  surpri-ic  when,

l)mnch  existing  At  StourtoD,  id  NottiaghADOflhire, 
in  Ibe  r«i(7Q  of  P]lizAb«th.  The  taisfake  to  which 
he  refers  no  doubt  urnse  from  the  fact,  that  the 
S'lwerby  and  Brakonbiirph  branch,  in  addition  to 
estates  in  Yorkshire,  held  Urg«  estatcA  in  Xot- 
tiagbftmBhiro  (Inq.  p.  tn.)  MqolKdi  1  beliere, 
from  the  IjODjrvill'j  fftinily  hy  nwrrisfre. 

Roger  de  Laccll,  heir  of  Picot,  Md  lands  in 
Yoiksbire  and  Lincolnshire  in  31  llvn.  I.,  11^- 
llltl  (Pipo  Roll),  and  wm  Uviug  nt  Kirkby 
under  Knoll  Caetle,  near  Thirsk,  m  1151.  A 
di'ed  of  William  de  Vesci,  lord  of  Malton,  show* 
that  Rogff  do  I/A«04*b  held  land  in  Old  Malton 
(Dujrdnle's  jXfortaMifon).  In  Id  fleo.  II.,  llfJfi- 
U6H,  William  de  LticeW  held  lands  of  tbo  Wit- 
liam  de  Vesci  niontinnod  above  (Lihur  Aiper); 
and  in  1300  W.  de  Lacvles  held  Sowf*rby,  near 
Thirnk,  and  also  land  iu  Old  Malton  (Dugdale'e 
MmuiHtieon^  ed.  by  Caley  and  others). 

I  think  it  will  be  found  that  this  WiUiam  was 
the  founder  of  the  Sowerby  and  Brakenburgh 
branch  of  the  fAmily,  and  that  he  wa^  a  younger 
son  of  Roefir  He  Laiicelles,  who  wns  llvi^g^  at 
Kirkby  under  KnoU  Ctutle  in  11<51t  and  who  waa 
heir  of  Picot  or  Pigrit,  who  canw  in  with  Wil- 
liam the  Conquenir,  and  had  land^  jLfivon  him  in 
Yorkshire  and  Linc(dnshirB  (Kollof  Battle  Abbey- 
and  Domefklay  Tk>ok). 

Mr.  Klli8  mentions  "John  I>nwellfl,  livingr 
131/>,  held  divetfe  lands  in  flilderekelf,"  who  was 
"  thought  to  b«i  a  ynnKcr  sonno  out  rA  the  howse 
of  Lawells  of  Soureby  &  Brakenbergh  "  (Ilarl. 
MS.  1304).  '  '       ■  .       -^ 

John  de  r^aseclls  mcceeded  tn  thd  estilaa  ofi 
Soureby,  Brokelibcrph,  &c.,  on  the  death  of  Wil- 
liam his  brothfjT in  33  Kdw.  I. l«0'M30r,  {Inq.p.  m. 
and  Cal.  (Jen. ).  John  de  Uuxcells  obtained  a  pardon 
for  the  |Kirt  which  h«  txik  in  tli«  Earl  of  Lan- 
CMter'a  rebellion  in  7  Kdw.  II.  1318-1314;  was 
I>qrd  of  Sowerby  in  0  Kdw.  II.  13ir>-l316;  was 
on»  of  thfl  unpervi-iora  of  array  in  the  wnpentaki* 
of  Rridfortb  in  13  Kdw.  11.  1310-1320:  wa^  sum- 
moned to  attend  the  GrciU  Council  in  17  Kdw.  II. 
1823-1324;  and  died  in  35  Kdw.  III.  lSai-13l>2. 
WUtiam,  h\n  9on,  being  hie  next  heir  (Parl.Writs, 
and  KoU  Or?,  in  ('nr.  Sc,  Abb.)* 

I  think  it  in  pretty  cli'nr  that  the  John  Lasctdla 
who  held  Innda  in  Ilildorskt^if  in  1315  waa  not 
"  a  yonger  Hotino  out  of  the  howse  of  Lnacells  of 
Soureby  Sc  Jtrakenbergfa,"  but  the  bead  of  th« 
family  mentioned  above;  and  that  the  next  John 
in  the  pt-digreo  of  Lascellew  of  Ganthorpe  and 
Kryholm'%  who  waa  living  at  Hilderskelf  in 
10  Ric.  n.  1302-1303,  and  was  in  deeds  called 
"  filius  Johannin,"  was  *'  a  yonger  sonne  out  of  the 
howae  of  Laj"oellH  of  Soureby  &  Brnkenberffh,' '  who 
took  his  fiithor'a  lands  in  Ilinderskelf;  Williamf 
his  brother,  taking*  those  of  Sowerby,  Braken-

critic  and  judgo  as  (o  thu  Tvrilings  of  Daniel 
Defoe — and  even  tluF  I  leave  to  otbers. 

I  am  n<jt  aware  tbat  any  part  of  tbe  undying 
fame  of  Sir  Waller  Scott  will  reet  oa  tbe  ground 
of  critical  ability;  but  1  know  that  wbim  ho

af&rward  mentioning  the  motttT  to  Mil  C[u>c>SLEr, 
I  fouud  tbnt  be  bad  como  to  the  conclusion,  many 
years  before,  tbat  Defoo  had  nothing  whateTer  to

I  do  ni:tt  dispute  Sir  Walter'*  statemeut  thai  it 
is  '*a  pretended  biaturj";  but  tbo  same  mig'bt 
be  paid,  with  much  greater  force,  of  hiu  own

Laxotage  (A^  ii.  T.  ^S'.  I  — The  Italian  i like  the 
Spanifili,  pMrtii^ue'-f*,  ice.)  hus  many  words  di- 
rectly or  indir^tly  from  the  Arabic:  thus,  caraffa^ 
a  flag''>ny  b^ttle^  from  gharah:  sciahla,  a  satre, 
from  M!ff:  dnrsena^  a  wet  dock;  tamarindo,  a 
tamarind  tree:  almimutef  taii<maaf,  tdroccftf  uui- 
gamnot  fffizzetta,  tariffa.  There  are  aUo  voroA 
from  the  I'oraian,  oa  gitvrro^  a  jar,  (mmjarra; 
tamitarra,  a  scimitar,  from  thintthir.  It  is  pos- 
able  that  some  ^^eo^phical  names  in  S  )Utnem 
Italy  mnv  also  be  <'f  Saraceiuc  origin ;  but  I  can- 
not at  this  moment  point  out  any.  There  are 
many  in  Sicily,  as  Caltka — lieWda — Finn — Oirone 
— Seibetta — t'lduro;  from  kaCaf,  a  castle,  fort. 
Again,  Marsala  in  Sicily  is  etymolo^ioally  the 
Bame  as  Marsnbi  in  Malta,  which  Vassalli  derives 
from  marm  ala  =  portut  luperhr  vcl  porfu^  occi- 
dentafift.  II.  S.  ChaR50CK,

The  word  nndur,  a«ed  both  in  Italian  and 
Spanish,  tu  go,  is  Arabic.  5Iany  proper  nouns 
are  Arabic:  e.g.  Guadalquiver  is  Oiud-cl'Kthirf 
the  {Treat  river.  Most,  if  not  all,  commf?nciDZ 
with  Ai  are  Arabic :  e.  g.  .rVlealeh,  from  J^l  Kadi, 
the  judjje;  Alcazar,  &c.  In  Sicily  the  like  rule 
holda  fe^'wd;  be-sidt's  such  words  as  have  bten  cor- 
rupt»*d  throuf^h  time,  as  Marsala,  from  Mtrx- 
Allah,  the  harbour  nf  God.  In  looking  through 
a  dictionary  of  both  lanjruages  a  very  larjre  num- 
ber of  common  word^  b^f^rinning  with  Al  betray

haA  jti«t  issued  a  new  and  ri?vi*oi1  cdtLion  of  hi^  (.'ala- 
1  loffue  of  them.  In  the  preface  to  thin  valuable  ^rorAure, 
I  Mr.  Parker  calls  attention,  among  other  things,  to  tho 
'  large  Map  of  the  Aqueduct.s  (also  exhibited  in  the  Qal- 
lory^  with  refcn-uce  to  tbe  water  nupply  of  largo  cities. 
There  were  fourteen  of  I  hem,  and  in  the  oei^hMurbood 
of  Rome  tfaey  were  as  complicated  as  the  raUways  near 
Ix>Qdon.  The  engineem  at  first  intercepted  the  sprinj^i 
that  fell  into  th«  river  Anio,  and  brought  them  into 
Rome,  but  Audinu  theie  not  suflicient,  they  oftarwarda 
made  jtart  of  the  river  it^U.  in  the  upper  part,  Krve  aa  a 
reservoir  for  Home,  at  the  itutnnre  oi  fifty  miles.  Ther« 
were  at:to  small  r«»er%'ulr!i  and  llltering  placei^  at  about 
ever}'  mile,  and  anglea  to  break  the  force  of  the  water. 
Tbe  fact  should  b1.so  be  noted,  that  tbo<ic  Photos  sup|tort 
tbe  Fiiib!«ljintial  truth  nf  tbi;  tirttt  boi.ik  uf  UV3-,  and  con* 
tradict  the  Nkbulir  theory,  bv  showing  rumains  of  nearly 
all  the  buil'lincs  mentioned  Uy  Llvy;  aud,  on  the  other 
hand,  tell  against  the  Roman  and  Jesuit  view  of  tba 
pictures  in  the  cataeombs,  br  showing  them  to  b«  of  tha 
sixth,  eighth,  and  ninth  centuries,  in8tead  of  the  secnnJ 
and  third,  as  is  aswumni  by  tbe  Roman  autborilica.  Tha 
Mu&ai(!  pictures  in  the  churches,  compared  with  tho 
fretc«>  pictures  in  the  catacombs,  are  important  evidence 
on  this  point. 

The  hisrory  of  arcbitMtttre,  Mulptare,  and  painting, 
for  the  first  tbonsand  years  fif  the  Christian  era,  can  ho 
better  studied  iaftbeso  pbntographs  than  anywhere  else  ; 
and  e\-cry  ar<^hlti^ct,  sculptor,  aud  paiutur  is  bound  to
