This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the

>\'hitebead  was  the  Laurente. 

i.  r  in  1757,  and  was  followed 

n   :iip  otJi*:e    by  Thomas  Warton  in  1785.     The 

'-jiji[io-*er  of  the  muaic  was  Dr,  Boyce,  a  true  artist, 

who  »tood,  and  sUmda,  his  ground  well  in  the 


estimation  of  competent  judges.  Whitehead  was 
the  son  of  a  Cambridge  baker ;  after  being  afij 
Winchesters  he  entered  at  Gumbridgej  througl 
the  benevolence  of  another  baker  of  that  town,  one^ 
Thomas  Pyke,  who  had  founded  a  scholarship  ox 
two  at  Clare  Hnll.  Whitehead  was  admitted  as  %.] 
Bizaff  his  claim  being  recognised  a^  the  ot^han  aomj 
of  a  man  who  was  of  the  same  trade  as  the  founds 
of  the  scholarships.  What  'WTiitehead  wrote  beforftl 
and  after  the  first  day  in  1776,  when  he  and  Bojce 
stood  together  in  the  Council  Chamber,  may  be 
read  elsewhere.  Nearly  all  is  now  wrapt  in  an 
oblirion  which  would  have  delighted  the  Laureate's 
enemies  ;  but  not  all  desent'es  to  be  so  forgotten. 
Whitehead,  indeed,  was  savagely  snubbed  by 
Johnson,  but  he  enjoyed  the  approbation  of  Gray  ; 
Campbell  thought  the  Ilys,-4U8  of  ^V^litebead's 
Vreum  exhibited  finer  feeling  than  the  Ion  of 
Euripides  ;  and  Coleridge  held  his  Oiargt  to  the 
PmU  (which  stirred  Churchill's  bullying  Muse)  at!! 
the  most  interesting  of  his  works.  Whitehead  has 
been  called,  in  some  things,  a  feeble  imitator  of 
Pope  ;  it  would  be  more  correct  to  say  that  he 
was,  at  times,  a  splendid  imitator  of  Young. 

At  the  aide  of  the  Cambridge  baker**  eon,  in  full 
cijurt  dress,  stood  Dr.  Boyce,  the  son  of  a  Londoa< 
cabinet-maker.    Boyce  was  now  organist  and  com-j 
poser  in  the  Chapel  Royal     Only  those  who  nv%\ 
ijnterested  in  the  history  of  music  know,  or  perhai)! 
would  care  to  know,  how  great  and  various  are  the 
claims  which  Dr.  Boyce  has  upon  the  gratitude  of 
at  least  those  whose  souls  lu-e  "moved  with  con- 
cord of  sweet  sounds,"    It  will  save  a  world  oi\ 
space  if  we  bricHy  say  of  these  two  humbly  boraj 
men,  poet  ami  iimsician,  that  they  were  thorougki 
gtnlhmfn^—thc  word  embraces  every  fine  quality' 
and  stands  for  all. 

Now,  there  was  much  curiosity  afloat  as  to  the^ 
uttemncea  of  the  Poet  Laureate  at  this  critic 
juncture.  In  the  Birthday  Ode  (June,  1775J  hoj 
had  been  hani  put  to  it  for  subject  for  decent 
rejoicing.  Walpole  (in  August)  met  him  at  Nune-' 
hrtm  (Whitehead  was,  for  yeare,  a  domesticated 
friend  in  the  Jersey  family),  and  Horace  wrote  to 
Lady  Ossory,  *'  There  was  Mr.  Whitehead,  the 
Laureate,  too,  who  I  dmibt  will  be  a  little  pu/zled 
if  he  have  no  better  victory  than  the  last  against 
Cii'sar'a  next  birthday.  There  was  a  little  too 
much  of  the  i^erttre,  fuverilms  iriumphoA,  for  a 
complimentary  ode,  in  the  last  action."  But,  since" 
the  hirthday,'worse  incidents  hrid  occurred  than 
the  fcurrender  of  Ticonderogii  nnd  Crown  Point. 
The  insurrection  had  become  genend,  as  the  King's 
speech  intimated  ;  public  opinion  in  England  in  a 
great  degree  sj-mpathized  with  the  insurgents ;  but 
the  drop  of  comfort  in  the  goblet  of  sorrow  waa 
that  i^tucbec  bad  been  gallantly  saved  from  the 
attempt  to  surprise  it  by  Montgomery  and  Arnold. 
The  Laureate  made  the  best  of  a  very  bud  bua,\,w<i9A.

entered  the  Conncil  Chamber.    They  arrived  so 
early  that  veiy  few  of  the  nobility  who  had  been 
invited  were  present.    The  late  comers  were  shut 
out,  and  the  following  was  the  ode,  sung  to  Boyce's 
music,  at  St  James's,  a  hundred  years  ago  : — 
*'  Od  the  white  rocks  which  guard  her  coast, 
ObeerTant  of  the  parting  day, 
>\liose  orb  was  half  in  oceao  lost, 
Beclin'd  Britannia  lay ; 
While  o'er  the  wat'ry  waste 
A  pensire  look  the  cast, 
And  scarce  coald  check  the  rising  sigh, 
And  scarce  could  stop  the  tear  which  trembled  in  her  eye. 

'  Sheathe,  sheathe  the  sword  which  thirsts  for  blood/ 

She  cried,  '  deceived,  niistaken  men ; 
Nor  let  your  parent  o'er  the  flood 
Send  forth  her  yoice  in  vain. 
Alas  !  no  tyrant  she  ! 
She  courts  you  to  be  free ; 
SubmiesiTe,  hear  her  first  command, 
Nor  force  unwilling  yengeance  from  a  parent's  hand.' 

Hear  her,  ye  wise,  to  duty  true, 

And  teach  the  rest  to  feel. 
Nor  let  the  madness  of  a  few 

Distress  the  public  weal. 
So  shall  the  openmg  year  assume 
—Time's  fairest  child— a  happier  bloom ; 
The  light-wing'd  hours  shall  lightly  more. 

The  sun  with  added  lustre  shine  ;— 
'  To  err  is  human,'— let  us  prove 

*  Forgiveness  is  divine.' " 

When  the  King  and  his  family  appeared  in 
public,  after  the  performance  of  this  rather  lachiy- 
mose  ode,  they  were  received  with  loyal  cheers. 
New  Year's  Day  was  then  in  the  first  half  of  the 
London  season,  which  begnn  in  November  and 
ended  on  the  King's  birthday  in  June.  As 
George  III.  and  his  Queen  passed  much  of  that 
time  in  London,  there  was  much  ffidety  always 
afloat  at  Court  or  in  the  mansions  of  the  nobility 
and  gentry,  where  "  winter  in  London  *'  was  a  long 
and  joyous  one.  The  tradesmen  of  the  capitd 
profited  greatly.  What  money  there  was  circulated 
rapidly,  and  by  that  rapid  circulation  one  pound 
did  the  office  of  many  pounds.  But  all  this  did 
not  affect  the  freedom  of  expression  as  to  politics 
generally,  and  the  policy  of  the  Government 
towards  America  in  particular.  Nothing  can 
better  show  the  existence  of  such  freedom  tlmn  the 
publication  of  a  counter  ode  in  the  Morning 
ChronidCf  two  or  three  days  after  Whitehead's 
ode,  on  Britannia  with  grief  in  her  heart  and  a  tear 
in  her  eye,  had  been  sung  at  St.  James's.  It  was 
as  follows : — 

*'  On  the  green  banks  which  guard  her  strand, 

Regardful  of  the  rising  day. 
Whose  radiant  orb  illumed  her  land, 

America  reclining  lay. 
Far  o'er  the  boist'rous  main 
Her  aching  eyeballs  strain, 
Tet  she  disdain'd  to  heave  a  single  sig^, 
Or  drop  a  single  tear  from  her  eniag^  eye. 
'  Jn  vain,'  she  cried,  *  the  sword  ye  wield, 

Te  poor,  dflceiVd,  mistaken  men; 


Old  Freedom's  sons  disdain  to  yield. 
Though  they  have  sued  in  vain. 
In  truth  no  rebels  we. 
Who  live  but  to  be  free ; 
Who  ne'er  denied  your  mild  command. 
But  scom'd  to  sink  beneath  your  wrathful  hand. 
'  Learn  to  be  wise,  and  learn  to  know 

What  all  the  world  must  own— 
Your  blessings  from  our  blessing  flow. 
While  commerce  guards  the  throne. 
Learn  this,  and  let  each  future  year 
More  radiant  than  the  rest  appear; 
Let  Peace  and  Plenty  smile  again. 

And  let  fair  Freedom  shine  : 
Thine  was  the  fault,  Britannia,  then 
Be  reparation  thine  ! ' " 

In  the  following  July  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence came  Hke  thundering  echoes  of  this 
counter  ode.  In  1783  "Britannia"  recognized 
the  Independence  as  a  fact,  and  she  made  graceful 
reparation,  as  recommended  in  the  above  lines  of 
177C,  in  the  last  of  the  simply  eloquent  words 
addressed  by  the  King  in  reply  to  the  words 
uttered  by  Mr.  John  Adams,  when,  in  1784,  he 
was  presented  to  George  III.  as  the  firat  pleni- 
potentiary to  our  Court  from  the  United  States  of 
America.  Let  them  be  kept  in  nicmorj'  on  both 
sides  of  the  Atlantic  : — "  And,  sir,  as  I  was  the 
last  person  that  consented  to  the  independence  of 
the  United  States,  so  I  shall  be  the  last  person  to 
disturb  or  in  any  manner  to  infrinpje  upon  their 
sovereign  independent  rights  ;  and  I  hoi>e  and 
trust  that  from  blood,  religion,  manners,  habits  of 
intercourse,  and  almost  every  other  consideration, 
the  two  nations  will  continue  for  ages  in  friendship 
and  confidence  with  each  other."    Amen  !

THE  HOUSE  OF  STANLEY  AND  THE  LEGEND 
OF  THE  EAGLE  AND  CHILD. 

Students  of  history  have  come  at  last  to  recog- 
nize the  supreme  importance  of  consulting  con- 
temporary documents,  where  such  exist.  Without 
this,  history  is  reduced  to  the  condition  of  an  idle 
romance,  or  a  vehicle  for  jxirty  prejudice.  I  pro- 
pose to  illustrate  this  principle  by  reference  to  a 
little  episode  of  English  history  bearing  upon  a 
family  illustrious  in  the  annals  of  our  peerage,  and 
never  more  so  than  at  the  present  time. 

The  Chetham  Society  have  recently  issued  a 
volume  of  Lancashire  Inquisitions  in  the  thirteenth 
and  fourteei\^h  centuries,  from  the  Towneley  and 
Dodsworth  Collections.  The  information  aifoided 
as  to  the  state  of  society  at  that  period  is  curious 
and  valuable.  The  documents  are  of  the  highest 
authority,  being  returns  to  writs  from  the  Crown 
on  evidence,  on  oath,  before  juries  or  commissions, 
in  respect  to  the  property  of  feoftces  of  the  Crown 
or  Duchy  of  Lancaster.  Several  of  them  refer  to 
the  family  of  Lathom,  and  the  Stanleys  their  suc- 
ceasora,  at  their  first  emergence  into  notice  in  the 
reign  of  Bichard  II.

Sir  TbootA*  de  Lathom,  early  in  the  fourteenth 
centuT}',  ir*Ikmg  with  his  bdy,  who  was  childless, 
in  his  puk,  drew  near  to  u  desert  ;ind  wild  situa- 
tion, where  it  wss  commonly  reported  an  eagle 
buiJt  hsT  nest,  and,  upon  their  near  approach 
fbert-of.  h^ani  the  erle^  of  a  young  child,  which 
was  found  by  their  aervants  in  the  nest,  being  t\ 
nude  infant  dressed  in  rich  swiuldliu;:  clothes.

eac|e  and  child  for  hi»  cre.^t,  as  ^ince  used  by  his 
noole  Ruccessore  the  Earls  of  berby. 

The  legend,  a*  modified  by  Seacome,  commences 
with  Sir  Thoraai^  de  Ljithoni,  who  lived  in  the 
reign  of  Edward  III.  ;  that  he  and  his  lady  being

Prince,  in  a.d,  1357.  This  was  very  remarkable, 
as,  according  to  the  chronolopy,  he  Wiis  then  three 
years  old  ! 

Ho  further  relates  timt  on  Sir  John's  return 
from  France  he  visited  most  of  the  Courts  of 
Europe,  where  his  superior  skill  in  arms  was 
generally  applauded  ;  that  on  his  arrival  in  Eng- 
land he  conquered  a  haughty  French  champion 
in  the  jousts  at  Wine-heater,  under  the  eyes  of  the 
Court,  among  whom  was  the  heiress  of  Lathom, 
young,  beautiful^  and  rich,  by  which  feat  he  won 
the  fair  lady  and  gained  her  inheritance. 

Ah  Lady  de  Stanley^  eldest  child  wa?  not  born 
until  thirty  years  :ifter  this  eitint,  the  atronj^  pro- 
bability is  that  ahe  was  not  then  in  existence  ; 
and  the  donghty  victor  himself  could  not  have 
been  more  than  six  years  old  ! 

Now  let  U¥5  see  what  light  is  thrown  on  the  sub- 
ject by  the  documents  to  which  I  have  called 
attention.  They  prove  «!emon»tratively  that  the 
story,  in  whieheTcr  form  it  ia  presented,  is  a 
fiction  from  beginning  to  end.  The  true  naira- 
tive  is  as  folio wb  : — 

Sir  Thoma.^  de  Lathom,  the  father  of  Lady  de 
Stanley,  so  far  from  being  cbildles!*,  or  having  only 
a  danphter,  had  five  children,  two  sons  and  three 
daughter?",  all  of  whom  attained  maturity.  His 
second  son,  Edward,  died  before  his  father,  leaving 
a  widow.  Sir  Thomaa  died  in  March,  1382.  Hia 
elder  son,  Thomas,  succeeded,  and  inherited  the 
entatCH,  which  he  only  enjoyed  a  year  and  a  htilf, 
dying  Nov.  3, 1383,  leaving  a  posthumous  dau;^'ht€r 
Elleno,  bom  three  months  after  her  frtther^s  de- 
ceajte.  At  her  death,  issue  in  the  male  line  having 
faileii,  Isabella,  the  eldest  daughter,  who  had  mar- 
ried Sir  John  de  Stanley,  Bucceeded,  in  ordinary 
eoiir^e,  to  the  property,  wliich  has  descended  to 
the  Stanleys,  Earls  of  Derby,  to  the  present  day. 

Lady  de  Stanley  sur^'ived  her  husband  a  few 
months,  dying  on' Oct.  26,  1414.  On  March  12 
previously,  she  bad  settled  the  estates  on  Henry 
de  Halsale,  Archdeacon  of  Chester,  and  Richard 
de  Stanley^  Parson  of  Walton  Church,  in  trust  for 
her  souj  the  second  John  de  Stanley,  then  aj^^ed 
twenty-eight  years.  The  Bi>eciiic  manner  in  which 
the  Inquiaitions  deal  with  the  property  of  Sir 
Thomsifl  de  Lathom  precludes  the  idea  of  any  sup- 
posed Oskatell  inheriting  or  even  existing. 

An  Inquisition,  8  Kichard  IL  (March  C,  1385), 
draws  a  lamentable  picture  of  domeBtic  life.  Poor 
Sir  Thonnaflj  so  far  from  being  the  "  galactuomo  " 
the  legend  represents,  was  himself  the  victim  of 
his  second  wife's  frailties.  The  document  states 
that  Johanna,  the  lady  in  question,  had  formed 
an  adulterous  connexion  with  Roger  de  Fazaker- 
legh,  and,  her  husbnnd  being  in  a  feeble  state  of 
heidth,  Khe  had  introduced  the  Raid  Roger  into 
the  hall  at  Knowsley,  **  in  magnum  dispectum

husband's  decease  she  h:wl  c^tried  his  corpse  to 
the  Priory  of  Burscoiigh,  and  there  interred  it 
without  prjeat  or  religions  rites,  and  umnediately 
there-^fter,  being  then  pregnant,  she  had  inter- 
married with  the  said  Roger,  her  paramour.  It 
does  not  appeiir  that  Lady  de  Stanley  and  her 
hasband  at  all  interfered  on  poor  Sir  Thomases 
lielialf.  It  is  more  than  probable  that  they  were 
not  married  until  after  his  deceitse. 

It  apoears  to  me  that  the  circuuiatanees  here 
related  indicate  pretty  clearly  the  origin  of  the 
crest  of  the  eagle  and  child.  The  eagle  already 
existed  as  the  cognizance  of  the  Lathom  family, 
and  passed  with  the  estatew  to  the  Stanleys.  The 
illegitimate  offspring  of  Johanna,  above  alluded 
tOj  if  a  son,  wonld  prima  facie  have  a  claim  to  the 
inheritance,  which  the  rei)ort  in  the  Inquisition 
would  set  liaide.  What,  therefore,  more  natnral 
than  the  adoption  of  the  device  of  the  eagle  of  the 
Stanleys  triumphing,  or,  jnetaphorically,  picking 
out  the  eyes  of  the  babe  in  the  cradle  ? 

The  tnlditionary  account  of  these  circumatiinceSj 
garbled  and  modiEed  as  such  stories  usually  are» 
crystallized  into  the  myth  of  the  illegitimflte  babe 
Oftkatell  This  is  strongly  confirmed  by  the  lan- 
guage of  the  legend  itself,  which  goes  on  to  say 
that  "  Sir  0»katell,  being  degraded  and  supplanted 
in  the  hopes  and  prospect  of  an  immense  fortune, 
was  slighted  and  despised  by  hh  tiathought-of 
rivals,  who,  either  to  distinguiah  or  aggrandize 
themselves,  or  in  contempt  and  derision  of  their 
spurious  brother,  took  upon  them  the  eagle  and 
child  for  their  crest»  in  token  of  their  conquest 
over  him." 

It  is  to  be  feared  that  many  a  pretty  legend, 
when  tested  by  the  dry  light  of  documentarj'  evi- 
dence, will,  in  a  simiW  manner,  turn  out  "  the 
baseless  fabric  of  a  vision,'*  but  "  veritatis  aimplex

THE  >nSE  WOMAN  OF  WING. 

About  eight  or  nine  years  ago  there  died,  at 
Oakham,  a  woman  named  An»elia  Woodcock, 
better  known  us  the  "'  Wise  Woman  of  Wing," 
from  having  previously  lived  in  thatRatlandvilhige, 
which  is  clo^e  to  the  Midland  Railway,  between 
Stamford  and  OakhaiiL  She  was  scarcely  middle 
aged  when  she  died^  and  she  had'  settled  at  Wing 
fifter  an  early  marriage  with  a  labouring  man. 
I  am  told  that  she  had  no  experience  as  an 
hospital  nurse,  and  had  not  received  any  kind  of 
education  or  training  in  medicine ;  but  she  rapidly 
established  a  reputation  for  her  power  to  treat  and 
heal  every  variety  of  disease,  including  cancer. 
At  the  outset  of  her  career  she  made  a  great  point 


of  gathering  herbs  from  the  fields  and  woods,  and 
making  them  into  medicines  that  were  supposed 
to  act  as  charms  ;  but,  as  soon  as  her  reputation 
was  firmly  established,  she  had  no  leism^e  to  quit 
her  house  in  search  of  herbs,  and  contented  herself 
with  drugs  ordered  from  a  chemist.  It  was  in 
consequence  of  her  neglecting  to  take  exercise,  and 
to  the  habits  that  her  confined  life  produced,  th&t 
her  death  waa  attributable. 

Although  she  continued  to  live  in  her  humble 
cottage  at  Wing,  she  wajb  visited  daily  by  persons 
who — a»  I  am  told — "  came  in  their  own  carriages"; 
and  I  am  further  inform&ijOn  good  authority,  that 
medical  men  also  came  to  consult  her.  Her 
patients  were  taken  in  regular  turn,  without  dis- 
tinction of  rank  ;  and  they  were  so  numeroni 
that,  as  she  was  unable  to  .see  them  all  on  the  day 
that  they  came  to  her,  many  persons  were  obliged 
to  take  lodging:^!  in  the  yillage  or  neighbourhood 
until  the  Wise  Woman  could  see  them.  She  dealt 
rapidly  with  her  patients,  and,  after  hearing  a  few 
words  from  them,  told  them  that  she  perfectly 
understood  their  complaints,  and  could  cure  them. 
She  had  sufficient  wisdom  to  avoid  using  iiowerful 
drags,  and  what  her  medicines  lacked  in  quality 
was  made  up  for  in  quantity.  They  were  given 
to  her  patients  not  only  in  large  bottles,  but  also 
in  stone  jars.  A  chemist  who  supplied  her  with  a 
large  portion  of  her  drugs  paid  hi&  first  visit  to  her 
when  he  was  just  starting  for  himself  in  business, 
on  the  chance  of  getting  an  order  from  her,  A^ 
soon  as  he  obtained  admittance  to  her  room,  she 
took  him  to  be  a  patient,  and,  before  he  spoke  to 
her,  said,  "  I  can  see,  young  man,  what  is  the 
matter  with  you." — "Can  youf"  he  answered, 
thinking  it  best  to  humour  her. — "  Ye:*,"  she  said  ; 
**  you  Ve  got  an  ulcemted  liver." — "  Bleaa  me  !  *' 
he  cried,  in  feigned  alarm,  for  he  was  in  excellent 
health  at  the  time  ;  **  I  didn't  know  it  was  as  bad 
as  that."—"  Yes,"  she  said,  '^  and  it  'a  an  ulcerated 
liver  of  some  standing.  It 's  lucky  that  you  came 
to  me,  for  I  can  cure  you.  You  might  have  gone 
to  a  dozen  doctors,  and  they  wouldn't  have  been 
able  to  do  you  any  go<3d.*'  He  deemed  it  best  to 
play  the  ptirt  of  a  patient,  and,  without  speaking 
of  the  sjiecial  object  that  had  brought  him  into 
the  presence  of  the  Wise  Woman,  he  paid  her  for 
a  laig©  bottle  of  medicine,  and  went  away  with  it. 
It  is  needless  to  add  that  the  pbyaic  was  thrown 
to  the  dogs.  In  the  ensuing  week  he  jmid  her 
another  visit,  professed  to  have  been  greatly  re- 
lieved, and  went  nwuy  with  another  large  bottle 
of  Btutf,  which  he  used  as  "  the  mixture  as  befbre." 
The  next  week  he  went  again  to  her,  announcing 
his  perfect  rccoverj',  and  tlie  complete  cure  of  his 
ulcerated  liver.  He  then  modestly  introduced  the 
topic  that  he  waa  a  chemist,  just  storting  in  busi- 
ness, and  tliat  he  could  supply  her  with  drugs  at  a 
very  reasonable  rate.  The  interview  ended  by  her 
giving  him  an  order  for  drugs }  aud  this  vrn&  followed

followed  up  by  the  learned  doctor,  who  suggests 
(p.  22)  that  0/>toi  (with  Ofct\&c.)  means  "  labourers'* 
(root  as  in  opus^  &c,),  leaving  frrrpcuj  nnderived. 
Let  us  try  then  to  find  something  more  satisfactory. 
Prof.  CurtiuR  {Gh.  Ehjm,^  §  120)  says  it  is  impossible 
to  separate  F/iatico^  from  root  ytp  (primitive  oAn), 
"aged,  old,"  found  in  yc^tai',  ypala.  The  only 
meaning,  then,  which  can  attach  to  this  word,  us 
applied  to  a  nation  or  tribe,  is  that  of  "  the  older 
settlers,''  or  something  simiJiir.  We  shall,  there- 
fore, look  in  its  correlative  Opicm  for  the  sense 
younger  or  UiUr  settlers  ;  and  thiu  vre  find  in  it  if 
we  connect  it  with  oi/'t^  oTrcipo,  «^t-,  (J)  Oj>jnni. 
This  derivation  accords  well  with  a  Gra*co-Italian 
migration  from  east  to  west,  for  the  more  eastern 
Greece  would  be  colonized  limt,  and,  when  that 
was  occupied,  Liter  bands  of  settlers  ('Ottikoi) 
would  have  to  go  further  west  to  Italy.  It  accords, 
too,  with  the  fact  that  that  part  of  the  Italian  race 
itself  which  settled  loit,  the  Samnites  (Momma., 
iJii,  p.  34),  is  styled  jxir  tJcdUnft  Osean  or  Opican. 
Nor  can  we  find  a  difficulty  in  the  change  of  mean- 
ing from  "aged**  to  '* ancient "  in  tJracus.  It  is 
not  an  uncommon  oae»  and,  perhaps,  we  may  trace 
in  it  a  disparagement  of  claims  to  antiquity  by  a 
rival  kindred  race,  I  do  not  know  whether  thifl 
conjecture  hxis  been  anticipated  ;  it  has  not  cer- 
tainly, aa  I  think,  been  discansed  aa  it  deserves.

"  SnppirefiEed  Prince  "  who  was  bom  in  1803,  and 
was  consequently  not  serenteen^  but  twenty-two,  in 
1825. 

Serres,  in  his  interesting  holograph  will,  accuses 
liif  wife  of  *'  fnving  birth  to  iliegitiuiate  children, 
and  unnaturally  deserting  them  to  be  supported 
liT  others.''  His  biographer  states  distinctly  that 
sae  had  two  iUe^'itimsite  cliildren,  and  in  the  Me- 
moir (p.  33)  says :  **  While  thus  confined  during  a 
period  of  nearly  two  years,  information  reached 
him  of  the  birth  of  another  illegitimate  child  of 
his  wife  ** ;  and  the  Charles  Wilmot  Serree,  who 
was  placed  by  the  ^Marine  Society  on  board  the 
Euckingh.imshire,  m;iy  po>«ibly  be  this  child,  and 
the  second  of  the  two  of  Mra.  Kyves's  "  royal  and 
revered  mother."  A  friendly  oomespondent  has  sug- 
gested the  advisability  of  a  search  in  the  books  of 
tAe  BucktDghamshire.  As  I  am  not  able  to  make 
this  search  myself,  I  mention  it  in  hopes  of  at- 
tracting the  attention  of  another  Clarry,  who 
knows  where  tho.^e  books  are,  and  who  may  be 
able  and  willing  to  make  the  search. 

Looking  to  the  identity  of  Chnstian  name, 
Charles,  I  should  have  been  inclined  to  believe 
that  the  age  was  understated  in  the  petition  with 
the  view  to  getting  admission  into  the  dociety 
within  the  limited  age  ;  but  it  is  scarcely  possible 
that  the  committee  tould  huve  passed  a  young 
man  of  twenty-two  Jts  a  boy  of  seventeen,  a  fact 
which  strengthens  the  probability  that  we  have 
here  a  second  Dromio. 

It  is  true  that  in  a  US.  autobiography  of  the 


*^  Suppressed  Prince,"  which  is  now  before  me,  he 
passes  over  the  first  thirty  odd  years  of  his  life  with- 
out any  mention  as  to  how  or  where  they  were 
passed.  But  then  we  know  that  on  the  death  of 
Mrs,  Serres,  in  1834,  a  son  came  forward,  and  en- 
deavoured, b}'  an  application  to  the  magistrate  at 
Union  Hail,  to  obtain  possession  of  her  effects  and 
papers  ;  and  from  the  report  of  the  proceedinjjs  in 
the  Timts  of  Nov,  29,  1834,  we  lenm  thnt  he 
claimed  to  be  the  only  child  of  his  mother,  deny- 
ing that  she  had  ever  had  any  daughter.  But  then, 
oddly  enough,  this  son,  of  whom  Mr.  Murray,  the 
magistrate,  said  he  knew  nothing  to  his  credit,  ad- 
mitted be  had  been  to  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope, 
but  had  returned,  being  unable  to  obtain  employ- 
ment. Will  the  records  of  the  Buckinghamshire 
clear  up  this  mysterv  i  Willi  ah  J.  TaoMS.

limited  extent^  in  Nottingham.  One  of  the  heads 
of  the  family^  previous  to  locking  the  street  door 
for  the  last  time  in  the  year,  carefully  deposits  a 
gold  coin  in  close  proximity  to  the  door,  where  it 
is  allowed  to  remain  until  the  new  year  has  been 
ushered  in  by  the  ringing  of  the  church  belle,  when 
the  gold  is  taken  indoors,  Thie  is  bidieved  to  en-

Cromwell's  WAT£R3iKN*a  Badges.  —  I  ai^ 
curious  to  know  whether  any  of  the  watermen's 
badges,  described  in  the  subjoined  order  of  the 
Protector's  Council,  are  still  in  existence.  Never- 
theless I  fear  that^  they  must  have  been  all  melted 
down  at  the  Restoration.  It  is  very  probable  that 
the  celebr:ited  Thomas  Simon  made  the  design  and 
die  for  the  badges.  The  arras,  &c.,  were  similar 
to  those  on.  Oliver's  Great  Seal  (made  b}'  Simon V 
viz,  :— A  square  gjimished  shield  bearing  quarterly 
of  four—  1st  and  4th,  the  crois  of  St.  George  ;  2na^ 
the  saltire  of  St.  Andrew  :  3rd,  the  harp  of  Ire- 
land ;  over  all,  on  an  inescutcheon,  a  Hon  rampant, 
the  piiteraal  arms  of  Cromwell.  The  shield  is  sur- 
mounted with  the  royal  helmet,  ensigned  with  the 
royal  crown,  sapporting  the  crest  of  England,  a 
lion  statant-guariiant,  imperially  crowned.  Sup- 
porters :— Dexter,  a  UoB  guardant  crowned  ;. 
sinister,  a  dragon.

The  3rETRicAL  Psalms,— Among  the  partial 
versions  noted  by  Mr.  Holland  in  the  FadmUU  of 
Briinin,  1843, 1  do  not  tind  this  :— 

•'One  and  fortie  Divin?  Odes,  Englished,  set  to  King 
David's  Princely  Harpe  hy  8,  P.  L.  London  :  Printed 
by  M.Lt\.  1627." 

Another  title  :— 

"An  Allay,  or  Brohanan  his  Parapbraaea  on  the 
twentie  Ptalmes  of  Dnrid,  translated.  Lond. :  R.  Y. 
for  Richard  Moore,  1627." 

The  latter  applies    to   the  earlier  part    of   the 
'"Divine  Odes,"  showing  it  to  be  one  work. 

My  question,  therefore,  is.  Who  waa  this 
S,  P»  li,  ?  It  may  be  premised  that  two  Christian 
numes  were  not  common  at  the  period,  conse- 
quently these  initials  are  more  likeJy  to  be  indi- 
cative of  the  authors  surname,  and,  seekinfr  to 
fix  them  upon  a  known  name  of  the  day,  I  find 
they  will  very  well  fit  the  name  of  Sempill.  Now, 
considering  that  it  was  fashionable  at  the  time  for 
royalty  and  nobility  (King  Jame'^,  Lords  StirUnL% 
Bacon,  &c.,  for  examples)  to  try  their  handti  at 
David*8  harp,  1  venture  to  suggest  that  the  initials 
will  suit  Sir  James  Sempill 

There  is  certainly  not  much  in  the  known  work« 
of  Sir  Jame«  that  would  lead  us  to  this  conclusion. 
fle  was,  however,  in  the  habit  of  abbreviating  his 
name,  as  shown  in  his  Sticriled^e  S't^raily  IlandJtd, 
by  I.  S.  L.,  and  his  Ficktovtk  for  the  Pope,  b^

the  godson  of  King  James— his  fellow-pupil

from  the  following  extract  it  may  be  inferred  how 
ready  be  would  be  to  follow  the  king  and  tutor's 
example  in  imilatin^  the  Psalms  :— 

*'  Ye»,  behold."  iajs  he,  "  what  int«re»t  I  hftro  alto  in

obiten'ed  before  framing  my  query,  and  that  is  that 
Sir  Jamea  Seiopill  died  in  1626.  The  book  Jimy, 
however,  haTe  been  ix)sthuiuouB-  At  all  events,

obliged  to  any  of  your  Cheshire  correspondents  fo» 
information  abont  him.  He  was  second  son  of 
Peter  Leigh  of  High  Leigh,  ivho  died  in  1658.  He 
was  married  at  Rostherne  to  Sarah  Yarwood  of 
Ollerton,  near  Knutyford,  in  1073,  and  died  ia 
1690,  By  his  will,  which  is  at  Cheater,  he  leaves 
liXV,  for  a  school  or  some  other  charitable  objeot 
at  Ollerton  ;  hut  no  mention  is  made  of  wife  or 
children.  I  should  be  glad  to  know  if  his  wife- 
survived  him,  and  if  he  Imd  children  ;  if  so,  what 
their  naines  were.  Samuel  Leigh  was,  I  imagine,

of  Letters  "  instead  of  amongst  the  "  Poets  "  1  Hi» 
two  representative  poeta  are  Dante  and  Shak- 
speare.  But^  although  Burns  was  Jar  below  these 
giants  in  poetical  power,  he  was  as  true  a  pott  as 
either  of  them.  I  cannot  understand  why  BalSto 
should  be  a  "  hero,  as  poet/'  and  Burns  only  a

Bishop  Pococke's  Visit  to  Iona. — Pennant^ 
in  his  account  of  lona  (vol  iii.  p.  206),  mentions,  at 
a  little  distance  from  the  ruins  of  the  monastery,, 
"a  square  containing  a  cairn  and  surrounded  by  a 
stone  dyke,"  and  adds  : — 

"  This  !■  called  a  huriiil  place :  it  must  have  been  in 
very  early  tiniei.cotemporftry  with  other  cairns,  perhaps 
in  the  day  a  of  Druidifm,  for  Bl^^hup  Pocock  Tuenttons  that

PHIIiOLOGICAL. 
(5»»»  S.  iv.  489.) 
In  asking  *'  whether  Danish,  Swedish,  and  Nor- 
wegian are  Teutonic  or  Scandinavian  langiuipes,'* 
^your  correspondent  tmiclies  upon  an  important 
question,  concerning  which  the  most  contradictory 
nns^vers  might  easily  be  given  by  such  jis  are 
unaware  of  the  trchnicttl  mmning  of  the  words 
employed.  The  whole  puzzle  (a  pu/zle  which 
some,  to  my  knowledj^e,  are  almost  unable  to 
.4K>lTe)  consists  in  the  highly  technicil  and  artificial 
^meaning  in  which  the  term  "Teutonic"  is  cm- 
ployed  in  grouping  languages,  whilst  at  the  same 
time  it  1ul%  in  ordimiry  speech,  a  much  sinipler 
meaning.  Ordinarily  ''Teutonic''  is  almost  a 
convertible  term  with  ''  German  "  ;  but,  in  the 
science  of  lanpua^e,  it  has  a  very  ditt'erent  and 
purely  technical  meaning.  In  botany  we  speak  of 
classes,  sub-classes*  orders,  rjenera,  hpecies,  and 
varieties.  In  language  the  corresponding  terms 
are  families  or  classes,  sub-claa&c*^,  branches, 
groups,  langtuiges,  and  dialects.  Thus  Danish 
belongs  to  ihe  Indo*European  family  or  chuis^ 
Europeim  sub-clasM,  Teutonic  bmnch,  Bciindi- 
navian  group  ;  being  in  itself  a  language.  The 
Bame  is  true  for  Norwegian,  iSwedit^h,  and  the 
extremely  important  Icelandic,  which  should  not 
have  been  omitted  in  the  question. 

The  common  misUike  is  to  confuse  *' Teutonic  " 
in  the  above  sense  with  Cerman  ;  and,  even  fur- 
ther, German  is  confused  with  High  German,  Yet 
Teutonic  is  the  name  of  a  hmndif  fligh  German  is 


tiy«.V 

no 


the  name  of  a  Qroupt  and  German  is  the  name 
languagt.     No  wonder  that  most  contradic 
and  confused  ideas  are  current,  when  these 
terms  are  constantly  being  used    as  coDYertihle. 
It  is  just  as  if^  in  botany,  we  wert?  to  make  no 
distinction  between  Ro^a  and  Eoancffn, 

I  hope  it  will  thus  he    evident    that,   though 
Danish  is  said  to  belong  to  the  Teutonic  branS, 
it  is  not  German.     Moreover,  the  Scandinavi 
group  is  so  far   from    being   "Gerumn"  (in  t 
wider  sense  of  High  German)  that  it  is  much  more 
closely. allied  to  the  Low  German  )^roup. 

The  right  scheme  of  the  languages  of  the  **  Teu- 
tonic" bmnch  has  been  given  many  times ; 
<r,f7.,  March's  Amjlo-Saxon  firamniar;  M(

St.hleicber*.s  Compmdiurn. ;  the  works  of  Max 
Wiiller,  Whitney,  &c.  They  are  all  agreed  in 
principles,  but  they  employ  vuryinj^  t*^mis.  Thiu^ 
in  Tfu:^  Life  fl"'^  Growlh  of  Latu^imge^  Profemot 
Whitney  uses  "  family "  a^  synonymoua  with 
"  class,"  but  Dr.  Morris  us^fs  "  family  "  as  synony- 
mous with  '*  brancli/'  The  former  method  is,  I 
think,  much  more  convenient.  The  scheme,  as 
given  by  the  above  authors,  is  as  follows  :^

called  Indo-Germanlc,  in  order  to  midie  confusion

7.  Slavonic  ;  8.  Litbuiiuian  ;  11.  Teutonic. 

(t'roupff.^l  omit  the  nubdivision?  of  the  firat 
eight  of  the  above  brunches,  and  consider  only  the 
Teutonic.  Of  the  Teutonic  ^►rjmch  the  p^roupis,

THK  Ford  and  Hickitan 
;.  L  3H,  112,  249.)— Since  my  last 
on  the  above  subject  I  have  founul 
Joseph  Ford  and  Jane  Ford,  liis 
m  described  us  of  Oldawinford,  in 
~  li^tp  Mrs.  Ford's  will,  which 
\v9d  at  Wor- 


cester  in  the  following  montii,  contains  an  inte- 
resting allusion  to  Dr.  Johnson's  parents  which 
clearly  establishes  the  relationship.  She  desires 
lier  son  CorQeliua  to  pay  to  her  brother-in-law, 
Michael  Johnson,  and  his  wife,  or  their  trustees, 
"the  2<Xi?.  directed  by  his  late  dear  father's  will 
to  be  paid  to  me  in  lieu  of  auch  moneys  na  my  late 
hnsband  received  in  trust  for  iny  said  brother 
Johnson  and  his  wife.** 

I  liave  not  yet  ascertained  the  parentage  of  Mrs. 
Ford.  She  mentions  her  sister,  Joice  Ward,  and 
her  nieces,  Ann  Hunt  and  Mary  Withers.  Nor 
have  I  discovered  the  baptismal  name  of  Mrs. 
Johnson's  father ;  hut  I  nm  inclined  to  identify 
the  latter  with  Cornelius  Ford  of  Kinjjsnorton,  co. 
Worcester,  who  in  16(j7  was  ''overseer"  of  Uie 
will  of  John  Brettell  of  Kidder  mi  nKter.  It  aeeui9 
now  quite  clear  that  "Parson  Ford"  was  not 
Cornelius*,  the  son  of  Dr.  Joseph  ;  for  Mrs.  Ford 
leaves  the  residue  of  her  estate,  real  and  personal, 
to  her  son  Cornelius,  and  request*^  him  to  "con- 
tinue a  friend  and  father  to  my  family."  She 
also  appoints  him  sole  executor  of  her  will  \  and 
no  doubt  he  was  the  Cornelius  Ford  who  was 
buried  rtt  Oldswinford,  Bee.  Id,  1734. 

Dr.  Ford  mentions  three  brothers  in  his  will, 
Cornelius,  Samuel,  and  Nathaniel  ;  also  a  sister, 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Bowyer  (to  whom  he  leaves  ^40^.). 
To  Ph<i'be,  the  d;mghter  of  his  brother  Cornelius, 
he  leaves  certain  property,  and  desires  his  brothec 
Nathaniel  to  be  her  fjuardian,  although  her  father 
was  then  alive,  I  think  the  "  parson  "  must  have 
heen  a  Bon  of  Nathaniel,  and  that  it  was  with 
Cornelius  (h.  1693,  oh.  1734),  the  aon  of  Joseph, 
that  Johnson  resided,  when  at  school  at  Stour- 
bridge in  1724. 

One  of  your  correspondents  communicated  with 
me  privately  soon  after  the  appeamnce  of  my  for- 
mer note,  calling  my  attention  to  a  passage  in  Sip 
John  Hawkins's  Life,  of  JohmoiK  in  which  it  is 
stated  that  upon  Johnson's  leavinir  the  Universitv 
"he  went  home  to  the  hou!*o  of  his  fntbert  which 
he  found  so  nearly  filled  with  relatives,  that  is  to 
say,  the  maiden  sisters  of  his  mother  and  couain 
Cornelius  Ford,  whom  his  father,  on  the  dencease 
of  their  brother  in  the  summer  of  1731,  had  takeft 
to  board,  that  it  would  scarce  receive  him."  This, 
as  my  correBi>ondeiit  remarks,  is  far  from  clear. 
Does  it  mean  "  the  maiden  sisters  of  his  mother, 
and  thoae  of  his  cousin  Cornelius"?  And  was 
the  penon  who  died  in  1731  the  brother  of  Mrs. 
Johnson  or  of  the  sisters  of  Cornelius  ?  I  find  in 
the  Oldswinford  recjistera  the  burial  of  "Nathiniel 
Ford,  Dec.  25,  1731/'  who,  I  suppose,  is  the 
brother  in  fjueation,  thoujjh  he  could  not  have' 
dieii  in  the  summer.  A  "  Mr,  Nathaniel  Forde"^ 
was  also  buried  there,  July  4,  172i>.

PoKTs  TH«  Masters  of  Lajjoc age  (4"»  S.  xL 
110;  5»*  S,  iv,  431,  491.)— I  have  not  only  read 
Max  Mtiller,  but  have  bestowed  on  him  more 
vuirtfin^liii  than  on  moat  books  on  my  shelves  ; 
and  I  wholly  differ  from  him  in  his  theory  that 
lanf^uaiie  ia  a  ph\fiu>il  Kience.  The  matertolifim 
which  i«  now  fashionable  cannot  endure  ;  and  the 
attempt  to  apply  Darwinism  to  language,  the 
vehicle  of  thought,  ia,  in  my  judgment,  a  complete 
ikilure. 

W.  H.  remarks  tliat  "  not  even  a  Byron  could

naed  the  intmnsitive  verb  tremUco  transitively

I  ojiree  with  W.  H.  that  man  may  be,  and 
indeed  ip,  the  fornuil,  but  cannot  be  the  efficient, 
can  "'  liitc^e.  It  ia  only  a  part  of  a  wider

The  complete  answer  to  W.  H.  is  that  great 
writer*  mM  speakers  do  cJiange  the  force  of  words. 
**  When  Geoeral  Wolfe  first  used  the  eiprcsaion

choice  then  meiming  voluntary  election,  he  made 
those  to  whom  he  wrote  see  his  position  with  much 
more  etleot  llmu  could  have  been  produced  a  second 
time  by  the  same  words"  (De  Morgan,  Umihk

Russell  h»iJ9  widened  the  meaning  of  the  word

Cavendish,  who  died  in  1617  :^ 

"  Ckarlii  Cavendish  to  hit  Soiit.

As  we  have  nephew  and  niece  from  the  Latin

Shaktwo  Hands  (5»»«  S.  iv,  487.)— In  England, 
down  to  the  reign  of  Charles  IL  or  a  little  hiter, 
the  kiss  wns  the  common  greeting  to  friends  and 
strangers  alike,  and  shaking  haods  wns  a  mark  of 
close  intiinacy  or  high  favour.  In  the  Diary  of 
Anne,  Coiintesa  of  Pembroke  (why  does  not  the 
Camden  Society  publish  it?),  her  ladyship  thinks 
the  fact  of  her  shaking  hund.s  with  any  one  worth 
noting.  The  kiss  for  greeting  was  not  the  rule 
on  the  Continent  in  Henry  VII.'s  time,  for  Erasmus, 
who  then  visited  England,  was  much  amused  by 
being  kissed  on  iUl  sides.  When  the  kiss  went  out 
as  the  usual  greeting,  the  stately,  diBt^int  bow  took 
its  place.  When  hand-ahakiog  beciime  common  I 
do  not  know  ;  I  suspect  not  very  long  since.

AntjlicanfT.  very  unfair.  It  is  a  work  I  am  in  the

testing  the  statements  made  therein,  I  have  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  it  is  one  of  the  most  accu- 
rate books  I  have  ever  used.  Of  course,  there  are 
errors  in  it.  Does  any  one  who  has  had  experi- 
ence in  compilation  think  it  possible  that  such  a 
book  could  be  so  made  as  to  be  free  from  mis  takes?

'H%  (5t^  S.  iv.  443,  494.)— I  cannot  agree  with 
Mr.  Tew  that  Jelf.^  Greet  Grammar  or  Liddell 
and  Scott '»  LcAcon  contains  a  satisfactory  Recount 
of  the  adverb  vj^i/,  If  he  reads  the  urticle  on  this 
word  in  the  former,  he  will  find  a  vngue  uncer- 
tainty running  through  the  whole  explanation  ; 
and,  in  the  latter,  no  gtiimtil  root-meaning  of  the 
word  is  attempted.  Aa  yet,  therefore,  I  still 
adhere  to  my  original  statement.  But  it  is  also 
plain,  from  the  nature  of  the  case,  that  the  accounts 
given  of  this  word  have  not  been  satisfnctory.  Else 
how  would  Mr.  Tew  explain  the  fact  that  my  first 
o notation  was  so  wronglv  translated  by  the  famous 
Cambridge  scholajr,  and  met  with  such  general 
approhatiOD?  Liddell  and  Scott's  Ltruon  and 
Jelfs  Gredt  Chramjaat  were  even  then  in  the  hands 
of  the  public. 

Since  the  appearance  of  our  article  in  "  N.  &  Q*" 
I  have  had  a  letter  from  Prof.  Blackic,  of  Edin- 
burgh, in  which  he  accepts  our  explanation  as 
correct,  implying,  at  the  siune  time,  that  he  had 
been  unable  up  to  that  time  to  Hod  imy  adequate 
solution  of  the  word.  And  yet  I  should  think 
that  Prot  Blackie  possesses  copies  both  of  Liddell 
and  Scott's  Lcncon  and  of  Jelf's  Greek  (rmmm/ir. 

He  also  further  iilustr.ited  our  view  from  the 
etymology  of  the  word,  supposing  it  to  be  an 
emphatic  form  of  ot;,  just  as  y  /iv)v  is  an  emphatic 
form  of  /ji>ii .  Hence,  he  very  truly  remarks,  tjShj 
must  imply  commnmation  or  cubnination. 

I  should  hardly  have  troubled  to  make  this 
reply  had  it  not  been  that  I  wish  to  enter  my 
protest  against  the  d^ndivt  spirit  with  which 
grammars  and  lexicons  are  generally  so  deeply 
imbued  ;  a  spirit  which  is  so  contmry  to  tliis 
inductive  age,  RobVs  Latin  Grammar  is  a  re- 
markable exception ;  but  aa  yet  no  Greek  grammar 
of  corresponding  exocllence  has  appeared.

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  fco. 

The  Life  of  Jonatluin  StrifL    By  John  Forskr. 

Vol.1.  1067-1711.  (John  Murray.) 
The  great  bio}Tniphy  of  this  seawon,  1875-1876,  is, 
nadoubtcdly,  Swiftn  life  by  Mr.  Forster.  No 
book  of  the  same  cIjws  has  been  8o  impatiently 
waited  for,  or  hna  been  ao  long  stimulitiDg  ex- 
pectation. At  lenj;jth  it  is  in  the  liands  of  the 
£ublie,  and  theij  will  uncjuestionably  find  that  they 
ave  lofll  nothing  bj*  having  been  kept  waiting. 
The  readers  of  "  N,  &  Q."  need  not  to  be  t^ld  how 
great  ia  the  curiosity  with  regard  to  kSwift*  \m 
aaying^,  his  doings,  his  thoughts,  and  his  designs. 
Our  ( Jonend  Indexes  bear  witness  to  this  fact  in 
their  numerous  entries  under  the  word  "  Swift '" ; 
and  this  oqIv  reflects  a  wider  general  curiosity  on 
the  part  of  the  public  to  be  more  closely  and  ac- 
curately acquainted  with  a  great  man  who  has 
suffered  by  miarepreaentation^  whose  errors  have 
been  exaggerated^  and  whose  virtues  have  been 
denied.  Mr.  Forstera  biogniphy  (taking  the  first 
Toltune  as  a  guarantee  fur  the  two  that  are  to  fol- 
low) will  gratify  the  curiosity  to  which  we  have 
alluded  ;  or,  ruther  thun  curiosity,  we  should, 
perhaps,  say  s^j/mpaUiy,  for  there  hnR  never  been 
waatiog  sympathy  for  the  Dean,  even  on  the  side 


out, 


of  those  who  are  his  advermries  in  reference  lo 
social  and  political  matters.    The  reason  thereof 
is  to  bo  found  in  the  circumstance  that,  in  the 
light  of  transcendent  ability,  the  human  fttil:' -^ 
of  the  man  disappear  ;  just  as  with  the  man  \ym 
is  found  worthy  of  being  acknowledged  as  a 
limely  inspired  poet,  under  the  touch  of  divii 
inspiration,  the  shortcomings  of  hia  humanity 
matters  with  which  w©  no  longer  concern  onrseli 
It  may  be  that  Mr.  Forster  has  a  too  highly  heai 
measure  of  affection  for  his  hero,  aa  is  the 
with  miiny  biographers ;  but  the  volumes  to  o 
will  show  if  be  had  not  warrant  sufficient  for 
love  which  abounds  in  thia  first  instalment, 
must  be  confessed,  too,  that  5Ir.  Forster  has 
the  threads  of  a  complicated  storj-  so  well  in 
and  such  a  grasp  of  his  important  subject^i 
render  gainsjiying  of  the  testimony  he  addi 
favour  of  his  illustrious  client  a  very  difficult 
indeed.     It  is  impossible  to  conceive  a  story  m< 
carefully,  elaboratelv,  and  minutely  worked 
far  aa  this  first  volume  carries  it.    The  spl 
portniit,  which  serves  as  a  noble  frontispi 
from  the  original  picture  bj'  Jervas  :  and 
give  a  favourable  opinion   of  the  powers 
Ihsh  artist,  who  also  painted  the  portraits  of*! 
and  Addison,  to  those  who  have  been  preja( 
against  him  by  the  malic*  of  critics  and  the  bat* 
aism  of  Knelier.     From  this  portrait,  t    *'     '•'^* 
page  of  the  volume,  the  interest  ia  m\ 
auatained.     Ever}*  chapter  adds  sot"  ♦' 
proviously  garnered  knowledge,    ■ 
tome  long  entertained  error.   Of  tb 
yean   of  Swift's    life,  this  volume   nn 
struggles,  joys,  and  sorrows  of  the  first  • 
Thus  the  greater  portion  is  told,  but  by  tar  the 
more  romantic  portion  awaits  the  telling.

directly  for  our  old  friends,**  the  boys,"  with  \\  hose

is,  of  course,  imposaible  to  avoid  making 
comparison  between  his  book  and  Mr.  Gr» 
though  both  the  scope  of  the  two  authors,  and 
their  mode  of  treating  their  subject,  difi"er  con- 
siderably.  Mr.  Green,  as  has  been  already  iKiinted 
out  in  these  columns,  professes  to  write,  not  a 
School  History  of  Engtand^  but  a  History  of  the 
English  People.     Mr.  Bright,  at  the  request  of 
an  aaaembly  of  Public  School  masters,  undertook

TBE  CATACOMBS  AT  ROME  AND  ELSEWHERE. 
The  catacombs  at  Rome  have  been  hitherto 
viewed  with  great  interest,  principally  on  religious 
grounds ;  but  it  ia  believed  that,  for  the  other 
reaBons  now  to  be  ftsaigned,  they  have  not  been 
viewed  with  nearly  bo  much  interest  us  they  are 
entitled  to  be.  And  tbifi  greatly  increased  interest 
would  uDt  apply  to  the  catacoraba  at  Rome,  or 
elsewhere  in  italvj  alone,  but  wherever  they  exist. 
A»f  however^  the  historical  or  positive  proaf,  now  to 
be  founded  iipOD,  exists,  if  not  altogether  in  con- 
nexion with  the  Italian  catacnoibB,  at  leaat  t^  a 
much  greater  extent  than  in  connexion  with  those 
of  any  other  country,  our  attention  will  first  be 
more  particularly  directed  to  those  of  Italy. 

The  first  <iuestion  which  I  would  then  ask  is  this  : 
Are  not  the  Italian  catacombs  ancient  human 
dwellings,  which  dwellings,  in  point  of  fact,  had 
formed  what  may  be  termed  subterninean  towns  ? 
The  reaifona  Bhall  now  be  given  for  answering  thia 
queiition  in  the  affirmative. 

There  anciently  lived  in  Italy  a  people  who 
were  known  by  the  name  of  the  CiuHnerii.  It 
need  scarcely  be  said  that  the  0  in  Cimmerii 
would  be  pronounced  bard  at  the  time  referred  to. 
Now  it  is  matter  of  positive  history  that  the  Cim- 
merii  dwelt  "  in  subterraneis  domiciliis."  Further, 
the  Cimmerii  were  represented  by  the  Latin  poets 
118  dwelling  in  darkness,  "  Cimmerian  darkne«a  " 
was  anciently  proverbial.  This  darkness  haa 
grently  puzzled  commentators  ;  but,  if  it  be  viewed 
in  connexion  with  the  Cimmerians  dwelling  in 
what  are  now  termed  catacombs,  the  difficulty 
vanishes,  and  the  explanation  is  completely  and 
thoroughly  satisfactory. 

Cavea  of  natural  formation  were,  it  is  well 
known,  the  abodes  of  the  human  race  in  ancient 
times,  and,  in  certain  localities,  they  are  still 
used  for  that  purpose.  But  nalural  caves  were 
limited  in  number,  and  were  confined  to  particular 
localities.  When,  therefore,  mankind  increased  in 
these  localities,  if  they  were  still  to  dwell  in  csives, 
these  ii;»d  to  be  formed  arftifici«f/s' under  the  ground 
or  otherwise,  Thia  implied  the  careful  aelection 
of  proper  pbcea  for  the  formation  of  these  cave  or 
tinderground  dwellinjafg.  And  thei^e  underground 
dwellingft  had,  in  the  courae  of  time,  and  under 
favour;ible  circumatancea,  resulted  in  the  formation 
''  underground  towns,  the  remains  of  which  now 
•u  the  catacombs  of  Rome,  Paris,  Knd  elsewhere.  ] 


Accustomed    u  we    are    to    dwellings    above 
ground,  we  are  scArcely  prepareil  to  do  justice  to 
the  merits  of  underground  dwellings.      For  one 
important  things  their  temperature  would  be  very 
uniform  and  equal,  a  condition  of  easential  im- 
portance in  the  preservation  of  health  and  comfoi 
and  in  the  restoration  of  health.     It  is  now,  it 
understood,  a  fixed  point  in  medical  pnictice  t 
it  is  chierty  a  uniform,  and  not  so  much  a  hi 
tempemture  that  is  most  beneficial  for  consu 
tive  and  other  delicate  patients.      Uudergrou 
ianitaria^  judiciously  used,  might  be  of  udvan 
to  such  patients,  even  in  the  present  ihiy.    Und 
ground   dwellings,   properly   constructed   for 
purpose,  would  also   be  easily  defended   ngai 
hostile  attacks  in  very  ancient  tirac»»  a  matter 
transcendent  importance.     It  will  be  kept  in  vi 
that,   in  the  present  day,  a  very  large  jnirt  of 
populfition  live,  in  point  of  fact,  much  uuJergrou 
—  I  refer  to  our  miners,— and  that,  it  is  believed, 
under  far  more  unfavourable  circumstances  than 
the  ancient  Cimmerii  io  their  underground  habi- 
tations.    The  Cimmerii  would,  of  course,  walk 
about  and  labour  on  the  surface  of  the  earth  duriAg 
the  day. 

It  may  now  be  here  mentioned  that  it  is  stated 
that   c^itacombs   are   formed  generjdly  in  a  rock 
which  is  soft  and  easily  excavated,  such  a^ 
and  that   they  are  to  be  fmind  in  almost  • 
country  where  such  rocks  exist.     Oiito<omb»  ai^ 
to  be  found  not  only  in  Italy  and  France,  but 
Greece,  Asia  Minor,  Syria^  Egypt^  Porsin,  and 
other  countries  ;  and  they  have  also   been  found 
in  Peru  and  other  places  in  South  Amcricu.     It 
!«omewhat  Ringulnr,  however,   that  nn   catacoul 
have  been  found  in  the  United  King<lum,  at  I 
so  ftir  as  I  am  aware,  although  cave  und  und 
ground  dwellings  are  found  to  have  existed  to 
great  extent. 

It  is  not  disputed  that  the  catacombs  Wi 
ultimately  used  as  the  abodes  of  the  dead.  All 
now  maintain  is  that  originally  they  were  used 
the  abodes  of  the  living.  And,  in  confiruiation 
the  views  now  submitted,  I  would  quote  what 
stated  in  Chambers's  Cyclopitdia  regarding 
ruins— the  deeply  interesting  niinM--of  the  city 
Petra,  in  ancient  Iduraea,  It  is  there  stai 
that — 

"  All  alonp  the  ftcs  of  tho  rocky  wall  [forming 
ancient  town]  »re  rows  of  cave  tombi  hewn  out  of 
solid  lionp,  und  ornamented  with  fiiyadeB.  OrtginjUl 
th«j  were  probably  dwcllintca  of  the  li\i«g,  not  of  the 
d«?iid,  It  su|tpo»iition  justiBcd  by  an  examination  of  the 
interior  ;  but  wben  the  NAbatheani  built  the  cUjr  nropeTi, 
in  the  Iitt1«  biurin  of  the  hills,  they  were,  in  alllikelttior 
ttb.indonecJ^  nnd  tinen  £«t  apart  aa  the  family  ncputchi 
of  those  who  had  formerly  been  dwellers  in  tho  olaftt 
thcrocki." 

And  so,  in  like   manner,  when  the  Cimmerii. 
who  inhabited  the  cat^icombs,  ultimately  becai 
dwellers  on  tho  surface  of  the  earth,  the  cntacomi

8p<jken  of  lus  if  it  depended  on  tbrit  of  Scotli

(i  t!tke  them  from  Mr.  Perceval's  list  in  the  A\ 
tolical  Stte^iaion) : — 

1.  The    first    American   bishop  (Seabury) 
consecrated  by  Scotch  bishops. 

2.  Thb  three  next  by  English  bi^hope. 

3.  The  fifth  {Clafrgeit)  by  the^t  four. 

4.  Scttbury  never  aaaisted  to  consecrate  again, 
."i.  Chiggett  assisted  to  conaecrate  four  bis!

C.  Of  these  four,  two  never  assisted  to  coi 
at  all. 

7.  The  other  two   assisted   to  consecrate  oi

traces  of  the  Saxon  lords  of  Mercia,  which  would 
repay  a  careful  examination  of  the  spot.  The 
church  is  a  woful  monument  of  early  nineteenth 
century  restoration.  Among  other  sins,  of  white- 
washing, &c.,  a  school-room  has  been  built,  of 
ordinary  brick,  over  the  south  transept,  and  here, 
1  believe,  are  kept  the  monuments  described  by 
Dui^dale,  but  none  of  which  I  think  is  older  than 
the  fourteenth  century.  Unfortunately,  we  did 
not  know  of  their  being  there  till  after  our  visit.

Shaksfe are's  Arms.— Some  time  a^o,  a  cor- 
respondent of  one  of  your  contemporaries  made  tho 
not!\ble  discovery  that  Shakspeare's  arms  belonged 
to  the  class  called  arms  parlanU.^.  The  *pMr,  ho 
admitted,  might  have  been  observed  by  previous 
explorers,  hut  the  correspondent  of  your  contem- 
porary especially  plumed  himself  upon  being  the 
first  to  discern  the  ihake^  which,  lie  says*,  h  con- 
veyed by  the  cognizance  "a  falcon  with  his  wingf 
displayed,"  or,  aa  aonietimes  termed,  "  rousant,'* 
Proceeding  upon  the  oasumption  that  the^e  arms 
were  made  for  Shnkspenre  by  Gdrter  and  Claren- 
cieux,  he  tella  us  that  this  discovery  at  once  settteB. 
the  question  of  the  spelling;  of  the  poet's  name  an 
Shakespeare,  instead  of  Shakspere  or  the  other| 
forma.  Now,  to  any  one  who  possesses  the  slightef 
knowledge  of  heraldic  matters,  the  idea  thai 
Dethich  and  Camden  invented  any  such  rebu^for 
Shakspe&re  or  his  father  is  jiimpty  ludicrous. 
What  they  did  in  this  and  similar  cases  wa*  Ut  con- 
(irm  and  legalize  an  old  traditional  coat,  and  it  Ift^ 
difficult  to  see,  therefore,  how  it  cjm  possibly  afflectl 
the  spelling  of  Shakspeare's  nume,  either  one  way 
or  the  other,  for  I  suppose  no  one  <Joubt8  that  the 
word  is  really  compounded  of  fihak^  and  spmrm 
however  they  may  be  f^pelled.  A  good  example  of 
the  kind  of  arms  manufactured  at  this  period  mayj

"Is  TtrKRE  ANTTHINO  XEWUNDEH  THE  StTN  ?  "— 

Aristotle,  in  the  Nicfmutcktnn  Ethics^  dividea 
nmnkind  into  two  cla^geH,  the  0vy.r^TiKUi  and  the 
€Trt9vff>}TtKtit,  the  "irascible"  and  the  **  concu- 
piscent/' This  division  of  the  ninst  acute  and 
searching  moral  analyst  that  ever  lived  has  been 
accepted  by  philoso[>beri),  approved  by  divines, 
and  confirmed  by  the  rdiscrvatiun  and  experience 
of  the  world.  Every  family  attests  its  accuracy. 
Metif  ran^je  them-selvea  according  to  it  in  clas8e» 
l»y  natunil  attraction-  Parties  in  religion  and 
pt.ilitic3  form  its  gramlf-r  developTuent.  It  even 
jTiichea,  nccording  to  Jewish  doctor.'^,  into  the 
hierarchy  of  heaven  :  "The  cbcrubiju  know  mod; 
the  serdphiin  love  most" 

Ovtwi^  anger,  blazin^L;  Hre,  and  cTri^i/act,  desire, 
uniioulderiDg  tirCjare  chief  motives  of  buuian  action  : 
6vfLo^  associated  with  the  hiffliest  intelligence, 
€7n$i>^na  with  the  most  intense  nlfections. 

Aristotle  makea  uvSpm,  manlinefH^  trac  courage, 
the  virtue  of  t'l'/^O'? ;  trfrnf^ppfrvii^^  temperance, 
ibe  virtue  of  iwi^vfiia.  In  his  8j*5tem  rfi'/io?  ia 
chiefly  the  characteristic  of  the  male  sex  ;  €Tri- 
Ovftta  is  chielly  exhibited  in  children. 

Aristotle  missed  neceascirily  what  I  believe  to 
be  the  truth,  viz.,  that  Otfia  is  the  original 
chariicteristic  of  the  first  nHin,  tTriOifiitt  of  the 
Jird  woman.  It  is  to  be  observed  that  all  the 
Bubsequent  varieties  of  human  character  are  trfice- 
able  to  the  various  proportions  in  which  these  two 
original  specialtiei*  are  distributed  by  the  mixture 
of  the  Hexes,  There  are  masculine  women  and 
there  are  effeminate  mea  These  are  the  extremes. 


Tliere  are  infinite  intermediatea.     But  the  most 
perfect  man  and  the  moat  perfect  woman  are  thejr^B 
m  whom  the  true  and  original  type,  according  to^| 
sex,  prevails  without  overmastering  predominance. 

1  have  never  seen  this  stated  as  a  pro|^K»sition^ 
or  taken  for  granted,  or  alluded  to  by  any  writ-er. 
And  this  fact  of  my  own  exten^ive^  but  of  course 
limited,  reading  ih  the  ground  of  the  tentative 
question  at  the  head  of  this  paperj  "  Is  there  any-

Straw  Necklaces. — The  straw  necklaces,

warn  by  pilgrims,  were  the  cause  of  Bever^d  not 
in  the  First  Serieit  of  "  N,  &  t^*.,"'  but  their  wean 
is  yet  to  be  explained.     In  the  new  edition  of

Bamborouoh  Castle  and  the  De  Brade- 
PORDKS,^ — I  shouhJ  be  much  obliged  if  any  unti- 
quiiry,  versed  in  ancient  tenures,  would  inform 
me.  from  the  followinjif  extracts  from  the  ntitionul 
records^  what  connexion  the  family  of  De  Bnide- 
fonle  had  vvith  Barabornuj^h  Castle  in  early  times. 
In  the  published  Calendars  of  the  Inqnisitiones 
Past  Mortem  (which  are  a  very  brief  sumiiiary.  or 
sort  of  index,  to  the  matter  contained  m  these 
records),  under  the  names  of  several  neueriitiouH  of 
the  above  fauilly,  appear  "  Bradefonle  maneriuni  " 
iind  "  Bumburgb  Cjistruni,''  as  if  the  aiatle,  like 
the  tjumor,  wa*  held  in  fee  by  tliem  (as  tlie*  latter 
certaiQly  was).  I  am  told^  however,  that  this  in 
not  a  necessary  inference  from  the  matter  eon tuined 
in  the  original  recordft,  which  I  quote  below  ;  and 
I  shall  be  glad  to  know  what  office  connected  with 
the  castle,  or  tenure  of  it,  it  implies.  In  an  In- 
quisitio  Post  Mortem  on  Alexander  de  Brade- 
fordo,  **  ttmp,  Henry  II f,;'  it  is  j*aid  of  him,  a»  of 
several  other  generations  of  the  same  fiimily,  that 
he  paid  annually  "  ad  wardam  Castri  de  Buniburp," 
and  then  follows  "et  od  cornaj?iura  xiijf/.  et  sus- 
tinuit  quandum  domum  comp«tentem  infra  pre- 
dictum  ciiHirum  de  suo  proprio  et  ha'c  predicta 
f;vciet  berea  ipsius."  Wu^  a  ca-^tle  guard  or  fmy- 
tiicQt  towards  it  a  special  ciRce,  or  was  it  a  thing 
cotatQon  to  all  tenants  i?t  capitc  who  held  property 
of  the  CrowQ  near  any  castle  ?  The  office,  however, 
8t4ited  in  the  latter  quotation  from  the  Inquiaitio 
post  Mortem  above  mentioned  "sustinuit  qiiun- 
dam  domiim  conipetentem  infra  predictum  caatrum 
de  ?!U0  proprio,"  &c.,  must,  I  fancy,  have  been 
special  to  Alexander  de  Bmdeforde  with  regard  to 
the  castle,  and  apparently  hereditary.  But  what 
was  it  ?    Ad  exi)lunation  will  much  oblige. 

SAMpEt  Roper,  Ac.— Anthony  h  Wood,  in 
his  Fasti  (ii.  8,  ed.  1721),  state?!  that  Sanmel 
JRoper,  Esq.,  the  friend  and  patron  of  Sir  WiUiani 
DuLjdale,  was  "cousin  Kormau  to  Richard  Scawellj, 
who  had  married  his  (DugdaleV)  sister.'' 

I  learn  from  the  Heralds' Visitation  of  Warwick- 
Bhire,  taken  in  1619,  thiit  Richard  Sewall^  of 
Coventry,  married  Mury  Dugdnle,  and  by  her  was 
father  of  three  diuightera,  Margurtt,  Mary,  and 


Elizabeth,  then  respectively  aged  four,  three,  and 
one. 

In  the  same  Visitation,  William  She  well,  of 
Coventry,  is  stated  to  have  married  Anne,  one  of 
the  sisters  of  Richard  WafrstatTf,  living?  1G19,  And 
a  Heni7  Sbewell  was  one  of  the  "supervisors"  of 
the  will  of  Alverey  Greisbrooke  or  Greysbrook* 
of  Mtddleton,  co.  Warwick,  gent.,  dated  Sept. 
1575. 

I  wish  to  know  how  Dugdale's  broth cr-Jji-lai 
was  coiisin  german  to  Samuel  Roper.     The  lattc 
was  the  son  of  Thomas  Roper  (of  the  Heunor, 
Derby,  family)  by  Anne,  one  of  the  dtiuj^htera 
the    above-named   Alverey   Grcysbrooke.       Wl 
Richard  She  well's  mother  a  Roper  or  a  Gi 
brooke  1 

Alverey  Greysbrooke  had  three  other  daugbten 
unmonied  at  the  date  of  his  wilt,  viz.,  Margaret 
Prudence,  and  Mary.  I  do  not  know  to  whoi 
these  ladies  were  married,  but  it  may  be  that  oi 
of  them  espoused  a  She  well,  aud  became 
mother  of  Dugdale'a  brother-in  law.

WiJson  wrote  tliat  it  vivls  •  perhaps  the  mont  beautiful  of 
Alfred  Temijsoii'i  composition?,"  and  which  cerlaiulj 
never  Tvas  excelled  as  nn  iiintatiou  of  the  ancient  h&Ilad 
Btyle,  not  cTcn  by  iSurteea'a  Jiarthmm's  Dtrye  or  Misa 
Eliiott'B  FiowfT*  of  thf  Forut.  The  tlireo  yiieceB  of 
TenayBon'fl  Just  named  >vere  all  inoluded  in  his  firat  inde- 
pendent publication. 

"  3.  The  SttfjfK'sed  Conftni&nd  were  no  more  autotin- 
graphical  than  the  Two  Voices,  which  wonderful  poem 
wai  an  amplification  of  the  other.  Like  all  young  poetn 
And  all  youthful  arti^U,  Tennyson  KiRde  many  rough 
«kotche«  at  first,  which  he  aubaequently  wrought  up  into 
filiiahed  tvorks.  Now,  the  sole  rc'ison  why  these  Con- 
ftuiont  wore  not  preflerved  as  an  intej^ral  portion  of  the 
poet'ij;  standard  works  wan  because  th^y  were  auporteded 
by  the  consumnmte  performance.  Tlio  implied  charge 
as  to  the  auppre-^sionj  I  repeat,  ia  therefore  jaat  a»  falae, 
juft  at  unfuundcd,  bb  chat  iniplied  in  the  statement  about 
priTftte  circulation- 

"  4.  The  hiighef^t  effort  of  geniuB  ii  achieved  in  creating 
new  types  of  character,  new  moods  of  mind,  and  so  de- 
picting them  as  that  they  shall  seem  expressions  of  the 
poct*«,  or  draTnati»t'fl»  or  noretist's  own  indiriduality. 
ThiA  is  the  SbakNpeannn  range,  culminating  in  Hamlet, 
and  the  Alii  tonic,  culminating  in  the  ^!atan  of  Paradite 
Lost.  It  ta  treason  tn  genius  to  identify  the  creator  in 
these  cases  with  his  crealioni'.  It  is  to  sink  Sbakipearo 
to  the  level  of  Roufiaeau,  Milton  to  the  level  of  Byron. 
Such  treason  to  genius  is  the  literary  crime  perpetrated 
by  the  World  in  Tennyson's  regard.  But  the  author  of 
the  T*co  VoieHf  and  still  more  of  the  immortal  In  Mi- 
mttrHinit  11  unaayallable  on  any  such  grounda. 

"5.  Ab  to  Gray.  The  writer  of  the  'London  Town 
Talk' seems  to  be  utiaware  that  the  variation§  in  the 
first  M.S.  of  the  Ehi^v  ha^e  been  comTnon  property  for 
all  studftita  of  EnKlish  literature  ever  since  Maaoti  ptib- 
lighed  his  edition  of  Gray's  priceless  poems.  These 
variation*  are  all  set  forth  in  Mitford  8  (the  Aldine) 
edition,  a  very  common  V(4iim«?.  To  me  it  has.  always 
seemed  a  fact  nnaccoun table  that  the  omitted  stanzas — 
Gray  waa!  painfolly  over^fajstidious  in  resj^ect  of  bis  own 
compcsil ions— are  not  now  included  in  all  the  printed 
copies  of  the  EUi/y.  Could  eloquence  surpass— could 
loveliness  of  poetical  expreasioa  transcend  —  these 
Btansas,  for  example  1 — 

*' '  Bark  !  bow  the  sacred  calm  that  brrathes  around 
Bids  ever?  fierce  tumultuon*  passion  cease ; 

In  still  B^mall  accents  whlapering  from  the  ground 
A  grateful  earnest  of  eternal  peace. 

Him  have  we  teen  the  greenwood  aide  along. 
While  o'er  the  heath  we  hieJ,  our  labour  done. 

Oft  m  the  woodljtrk  piped  her  fkrewell  song. 
With  wistful  eyes  pursue  the  setting  sun. 

There  icattered  oft,  the  earlieii^t  of  the  ye»r, 
By  hands  unseen  nre  showers  of  violota  found ; 

The  redbreast  lovea  to  build  and  warble  there. 
And  little  footsteps  lightly  print  the  ground.*

*  To  the  Editor  of  the  Argut, 

"Sir, — I  have  read  with  interest  your  London  corre- 
■p<mdent*8  reniarks  concerning  Tcnnyi^jn  and  Gray,  and 
Mr.  Blair's  obscrvati'ins  thereon,  1  venture  to  think* 
however,  that  both  gentlomen  may  be  mtst&ken — your 
London  correspondent  about  Tennyson,  and  Mr.  Blnir 
about  Gray. 

**  1.  I  believe  that  the  '  snp pressed  poem '  of  the  Lau- 
reate wto  not  that  one  quoted  by  your  correspondent, 
and  so  ably  defended  by  Mr.  Blair.    It  is  quite  beyond 


question  that  Tennyson  withdrew — na  Mr,  Blair  suggests 
—the  sketch  when  he  had  completed  the  picture.  Th« 
Suppoied  CoH/usions  were  swallowed  up  in  the  Two 
Voictt.  Among  a  bundle  of  jiapers  sent  to  nie  fromi 
London  by  the  last  mail  wag  a  Fi'jaru,  Fro^oi  it  I^ 
extracted  the  following  advertiiiemciit  ",— 

"  '  Early  Work  by  the  Poet  Laureate.— A  poem  of  43 
pages,  ©(ItitU'd  Th*  Lovtr's  7"tttt,  written  by  Alfred 
Tennyson  at  thi'  ago  of  19,  aad  withdrawn  before  publi-| 
cation,  19  for  sale/ 

A  private  letter  received  at  the  Mme  time  informed 
that  'some  excitement  *  had  l»eea  created  ammig  lltcnuy| 
folk  by  the  an notjin cement  of  the  existence  of  '  A  Collega 
Poem'  by  Tennyson,  of  an  erotic  character.'  The' 
announcctiieut,  however,  was  by  many  people  believodl 
to  be  untrue.  I  cannot  but  think  that  your  Londonj 
correspondent  has  been  misled  by  this  report,  and " 
quoted  the  wrong  poem.  .... 

"  2.  As  Mr.  Blair  very  properly  says,  '  the  variational 
in  Gray's  Klaj^  are  nil  set  forth  in  MitfonVa  cdition/J 
and  the  charujing  verses  which  he  quotes  are  'commoo 
property  fnr  all  filudctit-*  of  English   literature.'      Bat 
there  are  other  verses  attributed  to  Gruy  which  are  notl 
printed  in  either  Mason's  or  Mitford's  editiuti,  but  whicbj 
are   set  forth  in   that  literary   Bcrnp-book,  AatM  afi4{ 
Q  u tries.     T bese  te rses  are  ^— 
"*  If  chance  that  e'er  some  pensive  Spirit  more 
By  sympathetic  Musing!*  here  delayed, 
With  vain,  iho'  kind  enquiry  shall  explore 
Thy  once  loved  H»uut,  this  long  dainerted  ihade.* 
This  stanza  has  eviilently  been  improved  into— 
•'  •  For  thee  who  mindful  of  lb'  laiihonourcd  dead 
Dost  in  the«ie  lines  their  artles.<)  tale  relate; 
If  chiince  by  kindly  contempUti^m  led. 
Some  kindred  spirit  shall  enquire  thy  fate,' 
—which  originally  stood   as  follows,  atii  is  quoted  b] 
Mason : — 

"  '  And  thou,  who  niindful  of  th'  unhonourcd  Dead 
Dost  in  these  notes  their  artlasa  tale  rebite, 
By  night  and  lonely  conlentplation  led 
To  wander  in  the  gloomy  walks  of  Fate* 
Another  verse,  on  the  authority  of  Dr,  Doran,  is  laid 
have  been  published  in  the  first  edition : — 
"'Some  rural  Lais  with  albconquering  charms 

Perhaps  now  moulders  in  this*  griiHSv  bourne  ; 
Some  Oelen^  vain  to  set  the  world  in  iirms. 
Some  Emma,  dead  of  gentle  lo^e  forlorn,' 
A  correspondent  «*f  '  N.  &  Q/  (G.  B.,  Chester),  wriWnl 
in  the  ia^ue  of  that  periodical  for  May  22.  says  of  thf 
stanaa,  '  It  is  not  fouud  in  ^Maaon's  noteSt  and  is  of  vet; 
doubtful  autbeoticlty.      It   ia  not  consistent  with  tl 
dignifvcd  tone  and  language  of  the  rest  of  the  pneni.* 

■'  Mr.  Blair  is  rarely  mit*tfibn  when  he  speak*  aboi 
books,  but  I   venture  to  submit  that  tbe^e  lines,  or  soiu 
of  them,  are  realty  the   newly  discovered  *  rariationt' 
spoken  of  by  your  correspondent*— Yours,  kc.j

nothing  of  this  controver8}%  but  Mr,  Swiftb's 
suggestion  that  nentology  mny  be  derived  from

He,  indeed,  does  it  leas  than  justice  in  deriving 
*'  acato/- "  from  "  sciiteo,"  for  the  nearer  form  tcaio 
is  in  Lucretius  and  perhaps  elsewhere. 

hnl  there  is  no  example  of  tlje  alUx  "  -logy/'  or 
"  -logical/'  after  a  verK  however  adapted*  It  is

MusiCAX.  Eevenge:  "Hudibras"  (5**^  S.  iil 
32.%  393,  456, 61f> ;  iv.  277,  295.)— Mr.  SiEriiENs 
iuM  furnished  "  N.  &  Q/'  with  a  list  of  illustrated 
editions  of  HvdibroM  ("  N.  &  Q.,"  iii.  466),  and 
your  industrious  correspondent  niaintains  that  the 
existence  of  such  a  list  (in  the  British  Museum 
Catalogue)  rjenioustratc's  the  g^nidually  increasjDg 
popularity  of  Butler  s  epic,  as  generation  after  gene- 
mtion  became  ficquninted  with  it.  Miu  Stepoens 
observes,  nnd  with  due  penetration  : — 

"  IlItiitrAted  editiona  were  made,  of  course^  to«e1I«  and 
Ibnt  they  did  eell  is  proired  by  the  fact  ....  that  con- 
sidorable  numbers  of  iuiprefsiotiB  muat  liiTe  been  taken 
from  the  durable  copper- plates." 

Here  is  ft  confession  that  the  pictorial  editiODA 
were  ^'made  to  sell."  But  then  this  is,  per  sn^  a 
"trick  of  the  trjide."  It  does  not,  therefore,  dia- 
prove  my  hypothesis,  bat  seems  to  confirm  it.  The 
old  booksellers  doubtless  found  Hudilfras  u  safe 
Htock  book,  to  a  certain  extent,  to  trade  on,  eonse- 
nuently  they  did  not  mind  experiraentinfj  upon 
Ine  letter-press  by  Icndinfj  to  it  the  charm  of 
cngrnvings.  It  might  be  long  before  the  stock 
could  be  exhausted,  but  it  would  not  be  ft  bad 
invcstntemt  at  uny  rate.  It  is  a  principle  of  the 
trade  to  invest  tlicir  money  in  works  of  a  per- 
manent chunicter,  und  wait  for  the  result.  But,  for 
idl  that,  Hndibrat  did  not,  I  suspect,  get  into  any 
other  handj,  amongKt  the  public,  than  those  of  the 
upper  clashes  and  the  better-otr  middle  classes.  I 
think  a  youth  from  school  during  hia  holidays, 
having  an  illu.strated  Bnikr's  Poems  put  in  his 
hands  to-day  as  a  Christmas  present,  would  be 
puzzled  to  find  out  how  to  admire  its  contents. 
I'or  my  own  part,  I  have  been  always  accustomed 
to  estimate  Hudibrai  as  "a  book  of  reference" 
nither  than  as  a  splendid  satirical  epic.  So,  pro- 
bably, doe'i  many  a  literary  man  in  these  days. 
But  to  take  another  view  of  Hudibrastic  readers. 
The  buyers  of  books  for  tho  hat  ten  generations 
have,  of  course,  been  a  suceessively  increasing  class. 
The  rich  parvenu  and  the  ogtentatious  pritrician 
trere  both  fond  and  proud  of  a  well- selected  lihniry, 
and  were  nr>  doubt  continually  adding  to  it  ;  but  I 
fancy  thyy  might  not  be  readers  of  book^!,  but  only 
posFtsporK  of  ti  iihrary,  which  they  showed  to  their 
friends,  without  knowing, perhapsjndler'a  JForlhies 
from  Plutarch's  LivtA,  '*  In  my  mind's  eye"  I  can 
!*oe  my  old   friend  Isanc   rucock,  magistrate  in 


Berks  fifty  years  ago,  sitting  in  his  sti> 
accustomed  cluiir  in  his  old  library,  juir^i 
oriel  window.     He  has  a  copy  of  Bmli 
hand.;    but  for   what   purpose?     Pocock    w«s  i 
dramatist,  and  he  is  searching  for  some  apt  witti- 
cism or  sarcasm  to  fit  into  the  dialogue  of  a  nrw 
play    for  Covent   Garden.      I   believe   the   men; 
fcishion  of  assuming  book  knowled^'e  in  the  old 
times  stood  for  the  love  of  books  for  the  readinsV 
sake-     In  this  way,  then,  we  may  account  for  Snt 
constant  i9«^uing  of  new  edition.^  of  the  classics, 
ancient  and  modern,  over  a  period  of

I  had  no  intention  of  dbcussing  the  etymology

Acker  suggests  to  a  Grerman  a  special  sort  of  land 
— "  plough- land/'  and  tbe  wonl  n^^rt  suggesta  to 
an  Englishmiin  a  detinito  quantity  of  any  sort  of

Charles  Wilmot  Serres,  a  "Suppressed 
Prince'  (5^^  S.  iv.  461,  484  ;  v.  6,)-!  am  glad 
to  be  able  to  furnish  Mr.  Thoms  with  the  link  in 
the  hiMtory  of  Charka  Wiliuot  Serres  next  ia  order 
to  that  contributed  by  Clarrv. 

Having  been  discharffed  on  April  3,  1S25,  from 
the  Marine  Society,  Charles?  Wihiiot  entered,  on 
the  27th  idem,  the  maritime  service  of  the  late 
Eft^t  India  Com  puny,  and  wjts  attached  to  that 
C^ompany's  own  i<hip  Bnckinjihamsbire*  13G9  ton?, 
Cupt.  Richard  Glafespoole,  which  was  then  about 
to  make  her  fifth  voyage  to  tbe  East. 

He  sailed  in  her  from  the  Downs  on  May  2, 
went  to  China,  returned  to  England  on  May'31, 
1826,  was  discharged  from  her  on  June  1  following, 
and  on  the  Dth  idem  received  himself,  from  the 
Company,  and  signed  for»  the  wages  due  to  him  for 
the  voyjitre. 

The  Company  subscribed  annoaliy  to  the  Marine 
Society,  and  took  therefrom  a  cert^iin  number  of 
the  boya  into  their  njaritime  service,  placlDg  them 
in  their  own  ships.     Some  of  these  were  appren- 


ticed for  a  term  of  year?,  who  afterwards  general 
remained  in  that   service,  riiiio;;  lo  superior 
tions  in  it  ;  tbe  othera  were  mLrely  taken  O^r  tl 
voyage,  and  were   dischargeil  on  its  completion, 
was  tlie  case  with  ChnrleH  Wilmot. 

It  ia  not  unlikely  that  he  may  have  made  oil 
voyages  to  ladiii   in  shiiMi  owned  or  freighted 
the  Company  or  by  tbe  public  (for  the  trjtde 
India  was  open  then)  ;  if  so,  and  he  went  n\ 
ships  connected   with  the  Companyt   I   might 
able  to  give  further  information  regarding  hil 
provided  I  am  furnished  with  the  names  of 
vessela. 

In  respect  to  the  place  and  date  of  hh  bii 
which  Mil.  TnoMS  atutes  as  being  "  at  pi^ei-ent  if 
volved  in  obscurity,'^  as  "  he  was  iit  one  time- 
school  lujister  in  one  of  the  Cape  Coloured  Ri

WA^  a  printer,  and  fetl  hia  press  partly  with  his

to  »ay  that  he  had  a  son^  luost  likely  of  the  stitne

latter  may  have  donned  the  blue  jacket,  tiud  in

Cottell's  date**-  The  old  pri  nter  was  a  remarkable 
man  ;  he  threw  himself  into  the  celebnited  Douglaa 
Ciiuae  by  wTiting  n  pampblet  upholding  the  wiuuing 
8ide,  for  which  Lord  Archibald  Douglas  rewarded 
him  with  a  favourable  leaMe  of  Abbot  Inch  Farm, 
near  Paisley,  where  he  died  in  17B4  ;  and  although 
the  Fon  wan  then  living,  he  was  succeeded  in  tne 
farm  by  a  son-in-law,  which  raises  the  presumption 
that  the  young  Francifl,upon  my  theory,  was  plough- 
ing the  main,  and  not  dis^wsed  to  turn  fanner.

hi  Koke,Oddin{Tton,  Lower  He}'ford,and,  I  believe, 
at  Souldern,  in  O.xfordshire.  The  woman  who 
oflBciated  at  Lower  Heyford  was  the  daughter  of 
a  pariah  clerk  who  was  deaf,  and  for  year*  had 
assisted  her  father  at  certain  periods  of  the  service 
by  a  friendly  jo^.  One  baplesB  Sunday  afternoon 
the  old  clerk  indulged  in  a  anore,  when  tb**  accus- 
tomed joj^  brought  out  a  sonorous  "  Amen  "  in  the 
middle  of  the  «enuon.  G.  J.  Dew.

Author  Wanted  (6«>  S.  iv.  467,  522.)— 
C.  H.  P.  poesesaes  what  appears  to  be  a  somewhat 
valuable  edition  of  Lord  Brooke\i  works.  Lord 
Brooke,  better  known,  perhaps,  as  Fulke  Greville, 
was  one  of  the  most  prominent  political  characters 
of  his  day,  and  the  power  which  he  acquired  under' 
James  L  excited  the  jealousy  of  Cecd  himself. 
Hia  most  important  poetical  work  j3  Coe/iw,  a 
collection  of  graceful  and  unullccteJ  lyrics.  Of

ftt  ibe  tuppence  exercised  over  the  niind  of  our 
lMna»te,  ^*hen  joun^;,  by  Shelley  \  In  the  margin 
•rf  my  ropy  I  have  noted  many  such,  starting  from 
)iii  iir,t  tifi>>lished  work.  Tht  Chorus^  in  the 
y  re-echoes  Shelley's  poem  on  Deiitb : — 

_„  Ht\v  the  countleia  forma

i  beast,  are  fall  of  strange

-forcibly  reminds  one  of  Shelley's  Lametitf  of 
'iuch  here  is  the  last  stanza  : — 

"  Oat  of  the  day  and  night 

A  joy  baa  t^en  flight : 
tttem  spring  and  aununcr  and  winter  hoar 
lloT«  my  faint  heart  irith  grief,  but  irith  delight

Tcunyton'*  Kraken, 


battezusg  oo  huge  sea- 


wonns  in  his  sleep,"  recuilld  the  Demogorgon*a 
words  in  Prometheus  Unbound — "  the  dull  weed 
some  Bea-worm  battens  on."  In  The  Poet,  1830, 
Tennyson  writes  :— 

^'  Wisdom  a  name  to  shake 
Roar  anarchies  h&  with  a  thunder-fit." 

This  reciills  the  *' tempeat-cleaving  swan"  of 
Shelley's  lines  in  the  Enganean  hilU,  who  drank 
the  ocean's  joy  till  it  became  hia — 

"And  sprung 
From  his  lips  like  muaic  flung 
O'er  a  mighty  thunder-fit, 
Cl!;a«t<iiing  terror.*' 

Hie  PocV*  Mind  atfordji  another  illiistr.ition — 
"  Clear  and  bright  it  should  b©  ever,"  says  Tenny- 
son ;  "  bright  m  light,  and  clear  as  wind."  Com- 
pare Shelley's  The  i:iunsci: — 

"  There  hUe  vim  one,  within  whose  subtle  being, 
As  light  and  VNJnd  within  some  delicate  cloud, 
«  «  •  «  • 

Genius  and  Death  contended." 

But  a  more  remnrktible  coincidence  occurs  between 
a  passage  of  the  same  poem  and  some  lines  in  the 
Fromdheut  Unbound: — 

"  In  the  heart  of  the  garden  the  merry  bird  chants^ 

•  •  •  •  »  , 

In  the  middle  leops  a  fountain. 
Like  iheet  lightning 
Ever  brightening, 
With  a  low  melodir>u<3  thunder. 
All  day  nnd  t  ight  it  is  evt-r  drawn 

rrorii  the  brnin  of  tho  ymrple  inountaiii 
Which  alands  in  the  di<<tance  yonder  ; 
It  spring?  on  a  level  of  bowery  lawil,"  &c. 

Ttnn^ont 
Shelley  thtia  sings  : — 

"  And  a  fountain 
LeAfs  in  the  midst  with  ftn  airakeuini;  sound. 
From  its  currod  ronf  the  mountain's  frozen  tears 

•  «  «  »  * 

Hang  dfjwnwarJ,  raining  forth  a  doubtful  light, 
And  there  is  heard  the  ever-movin^g  air 
Whispering  without  from  tree  to  tree,  and  birds 
And  bees;  and  all  around  are  mossy  seats, 
And  tho  rough  walla  arc  clothed  wiih  long  soft  graw." 
Prvmdkoit  Cnbonndj  iii,  3, 

F'iimiliar  passnge^'i  from  Tennyson's  Mennaid 
and  Mfrman  are  recalled  by  these  lines  from  the 
Promdhcus  Unbound:^ 

*'  Behold  the  Nereidt  under  the  green  sea, 

*  •  *  «  • 

TJieir  white  arn'iS  lifted  o'er  their  streaming  hair. 
With  garlanda  pied  and  stiirrj  seailower  crowns." 

The  ''crowns  of  sea-lrtSda  white"  are  alluded 
to  in  Shelley's  Rosalind  and  Hdtn.  Again,  in 
Tennyson's  EUdnor€f — 

**  My  heart  a  charmed  slumber  keeps» 

*  •  •  «  • 

And  a  Innguid  fire  creeps 

Through  my  veins  to  all  ray  frame,

NOTES  AND  QUERIES, 


[S^-S.  V.jA|f.l5/71BL 


Jlly  tremulous  tongtie  faltereth, 

I  hjie  iny  colour,  I  lose  my  breath, 

I  ilriiik  the  ctip  of  a  costly  death 
Brtmm«d  mth  delirious  druu^btd  of  warmest  life, 
i  die  with  my  delight/'  kc, 

— we  have  something  very  like  an  echo  of  Shelley's 
poem  To  Connfantia: — 
"  My  bmin  is  wild,  my  breath  cornea  <}uic1tj 
'The  blood  is  listening  in  uiy  frarne, 
And  throtiging  ehudowj,  fast  und  thick, 

Full  on  mj  oTerf lowing  cyea ; 
My  heart  ta  quiyering  like  n  flftme, 
As  morning  dew  in  the  lunbeam  lies, 
I  am  dissolved  in  theao  consuming  ecitasioi." 

It  is  trae  that  such  passages  belong  very  uiucb 
to  that  section  of  iinaormiitive  composition  which 
the  "  iDgenioua  Mr.  Dousterswivel  ^*  thought  it 
would  he  possible  to  construct  by  m^ichinery,  und 
are  to  some  extent  the  property  of  all  poeta,  We 
hiive  the  sttine  thought  in  Keats  : — 

"Twasto  live 
To  take  in  draughts  of  life  from  the  gold  fount 
Of  kind  and  paaaionate  looki." — Entlpnion, 

The  siinilo  in  Ftdim'i  ("a3  sunlight  drioketh 
dew ")  is  identienl  with  thnt  in  Shelley's  Bdlas, 
"  Ab  the  sua  driukK  the  dew,"  "Widely  dissimilar 
as  the  poems  are,  some  curioms  points  of  resem- 
hlance  may  be  traced  in  the  Palace  nf  Art  and 
Pder  Bdh  Though  with  a  difterent  appUeation, 
Tennyson's  metaphor, 

"  A  star  that  with  the  ehoral  itarry  dance 
Joined  not,  but  stood," 

la  to  be  found  in  Shelley's  Einpsychidim : — 

*"  A  star 
Whi:oh  moToa  not  in  the  moving  heaftns,  alone." 

The  phrase  "  softer  than  sleep  "  of  the  Palace  of 
Art  also  occurs  in  f>hel!ey'a  Eosalind  and  Hthn, 
though,  of  course,  it  is  a  thought  as  old  as  the  hills  : 
•'  Mufcoai  fontesj  et  somno  motlior  hsrba/* 

Virgil,  Ed.  Tii.  45. 
The  quotations  would  stretch   too   fiir,   hat  a 
comparison  of  the  close  of  the  Lotoji-EaUrs  with 
Shelley's  Revolt  of  Ishw,  i.  2!1,   viii.  5,  h  in- 
structive. 

The  epilogue  to  the  fragment,  Mori  d'Arthurj^-^ 
"  On  to  dawn,  when  dreami 
B^ginto  feel  the  truth  and  stir  of  day," 

— is  like  Shelley's  Hdlm: — 

*'The  truth  of  day  lightens  upon  my  dreami/' 
Compar<?  The  Gardejia's  Darf^/iifr,— 
"  And  in  her  bosom  bore  the  baby.  Sleep," 
— with  Shelley's  Quim  Mah:— 

«  On  their  lids 

The  baby  Sleep  is  pillowed." 
There  are  points  of  reaemhlance,  too,  which 
suggest  that  the  germ  of  the  noble  poem  Lochkif 
Bail  max  he  found  in  Shelley's  "fiit^inzas,  April, 
1814."  In  each  i>oein  we  have  the  hall,  the  moor- 
land, the  rapid  douda  flying  round  it,  the  abrupt 
and  eilective  transition  to  the  "serene  lights  of 


heaven,"  the  recurrence  to  bygone  love,  the  lov 
wronged  and  indignant ;  in  each  the  fair  one  aaci 
ficcs  love  to  duty ;  in  each  the  betrayed  lor 
propbesie.i  that  memory  shall  bo  her  curse,  tl 
phantom  of  happier  things  rememl>ered  shall  c©d 
and  go  like  dim  shades,  and  that  petvce  will  be  ii 
possible  for  the  memory  of 

*'  The  music  of  two  voices  and  the  light  of  one  Bwe«t  smili 

''  Our  spirits  niflhed  together  &t  the  touching  of  ti

MILTON'S  FORESTRY. 
The  Timts  of  Dec.  20,  1875,  in  a  review  of  a 
book  upon  forest  trees,*  has  given  prominence  to 
a  statement  of  some  errors  in  forestry  said  to  be 
committed  by  Milton.  With  your  permission,  I 
will  essay  a  reply  to  the  attack.  I  copy  from  the

•  Under  the  ehndy  roof 
Of  bundling  elm  starproof,' 
though  undeniably  open  to  the  accusation  he  ch»r^ei 
upon  them,  hu-vc  earoly  a  beauty  of  tbek  own,  which 
pleads  iM?»iin»t  g'Uch  condomnfttion.      '  The   elm/  inya 
Mr.  Slenzies,  '  ia  one  of  the  thumeit  f«lifige<i  trcea  of 
the  forest.    After  the  lirst  flush  of  sprinti  the  Jeayea 
begin  to  fade ;  many  drop,  and  long  before  the  autumn 
they  bei?in  to  shrivel,  and  present  anything  but  a  star- 
proof  canopy.'    This,  however,  i*  not  the  most  severe 
piece  of  criticism  iQ  the  volume*  Few  pftsaages  in  Pttradist 
Lotl  »re  better  known  than  the  faniouH  comparison  of 
the  fallen  Archangel  to  a  tree  blasted  by  lightning  :— 
*  Ai  when  Heaven's  fire 

Hath  scathed  the  forest  oaks  or  naountain  pines 

With  singed  top  their  stately  growth  thoui;h  bare 

Stands  on  the  blasted  heath.' 
It  \A  not  clear,  says  Mr.  Menasiea,  whether  the  poet 
means  that  the  lightning  singes  the  tops  of  both  oaks 
and  pines,  or  only  those  of  the  latter  trei? ;  but  in  either 
case  he  is  falae  to  Nature.  The  n«k.  Indeed^  is  liable  lo 
II  sort  of  baldness,  alluded  to  by  Sbakspeare,  but  the 
lightning  ncrer  singes  its  top.  It  cither  shiTers  the  tree 
to  aloQia,  or  cuts  one  long  deep  furrow  dovra  the  stems, 
or  diTides  into  three  or  four  groorea,  twisting  and  making 
the  trunk  like  a  corkicrew." 

Now  (t<y  take  the  points  in  order),  Keightley 
tells  UF5  the  oak  h  culled  "  jiionumental  "  because 
monumenta  in  churchea  arc  often  formed  of  carved 
oak.     fie  cites 

"  Smooth  aa  monumental  alabaster." 

Othdh,  T.  % 
and  I'ljvys  IMilton  probiibly  had  io  mind  **  the  builder 
oak "  of  Chaucer  and  Spenser,  and  wished  to  en- 
hance on  it  ;  and  that  nothing,  l>esideK,  was  more 
suitable  to  the  Penseroso  thi\n  to  think  of  the 
most  solemn  use  to  which  the  oak  was  put.  I  pass 
by  Mr,  Menzies's  opinion  that  **  the  whole  passage 
is  rather  confused,''  and  come  to  the  statement 
that  "  pinei  and  oaks  seldom  grow  together  natu- 
rally.*' Milton  does  not  my  they  do.  But  there 
is  authority  for  saying  that  the  pine  will  ^^tqvv  m 
every  de^jcription  of  soil  and  situation,  thoiigli  it 
thrives  best  in  ;^ood  timber  soil  It  might,  there- 
fore, well  grow  beside  the  oak,  which  will  also 
grow  in  every  variety  of  soil.  Possibly  Milton 
here  speaks  of  the  iJex  or  holm-oak — a  monumental 
tree  in  another  sense,  fur  Pliny  mentions  some  m 
existin<j  in  his  time  which  must  have  been  l,4tM> 
or  1,5(>0  years  old,  and  one  of  which  had  brazen 
letters  in  the  ancient  Etruscan  chanicter  fixed 
upon  ita  trunk.  The  ilex  may  have  been  known 
to  iNIilton  through  books,  for  he  was  a  ^eat  reader 
of  books  of  travel  ;  and  he  m.iy  have  ,seen  it,  for  it 
appears  to  hiive  been  introduce*!  into  Enftlnnd 
about  the  middle  of  the  Bixteenth  century.  Both 
the  pine  and  the  ilex  tend  to  form  "arched  walks" 
by  their  freedom  from  low  boughs  :ind  by  their 
dense  upper  foliagfe.  It  ia  noticeable  that  the 
poet  chooses  the  pme  and  the  oak,  and  never  men- 
tions the  yew,  though  every  time  he  entered  the 
church  nt  Horton  he  must  hav»  seen  two  fine  trees 
of  this  kind  ;  which  favours  Keightley'.s  explana- 
tion.    But  there  are,  or  were,  several   oaks  in 


"Windsor  Forest,  within  a  walk  of  Horton,  whiob 
are  "  monumental  ^  in  the  onlinary  senge  of  th* 
word.  Keigbtley  also  tells  us  the  word  "  browd* 
is  used  in  the  .sense  of  the  Itidian  hruno^  dark.  So 
far  upon  the  Feuneroso.  Now  for  the  Arcadu, 
The  weak  point  of  the  objection  here  i:*  that  tbo 
objector  faik  to  see  that  the  description  is  specific^ 
and  not  arbitrary.     The  meaning  is — 

Under  fhi*  shady  roof 

Of  branching  elm  starproof 

Follow  me, 

i.e.  (probably)  under  the  elm  avenue  at  Hurefiell 
called  •*  the  'Queen's  Widk^"  in  honour  of  Qu( 
Elizabeth's  visit  to  the  Lord  Keeper  and  Count 
of  Derby  at  the  end  of  July,  1602. 

In  the  simde  from  FaradiM  Lost,  and  elst 
Milton  very  justly  uaea  the  oak  and  pine  to  expnm 
majesty  and  strength.  He  isj  besides,  happy  hew 
in  his  choice  of  the  oak,  since  it  probably  is  mow 
often  scathed  by  lightning  than  any  other  tree. 
The  "  singed  top  "  is  perhaps  less  defensible,  I 
am  not,  however,  concerned  to  prove  Milton  ao 
infallible  writer  on  foiestry,  but  merely  to  sea 
justice  done  him,  if  ho  be  judged, — even  by  tl»

There  was  a  very  clever  book  published  in 
French,  styled  L'An  £/mix  Milte  Quairc  Cfni 
Quaranlc:  Btve  s'll  tn  fut  jainaig.  I  do  not  know 
in  what  year  it  first  appeared,  but  an  edition  was 
given  in  London,  1773.  It  is  evident  that  the 
above  vision  of  the  year  2199  was  suggested 
by  the  French  book.  The  vision  in  the  last 
chapter  of  the  French  book  treats  of  the  ruin  of 
VersaillcB,  '*  ce  palais  superbe,  d'ou  partoient  Ics 
deatinees  de  plusieura  nations";  the  seer  tr^ds 
amongst  its  mmed  basins  and  fallen  columns,  and, 
wandering,  meets  a  man  of  contrite  air  in  tears. 
*' Why  weep,"  he  cries,  *' when  aO  the  world  is  happy  ? 
This  wretched  relic  testifies  to  nothing  but  the 
public  misery  that  existed  when  these  ganlens  were 
flcurishinrr." — "  Miserable  man,"  replied  the  wan- 
derer, "it  wiiB  I,  LouiH  XIV.,  who  built  thia 
woe-stricken  piilace  :  *  Je  pleure  et  je  pleurera; 
toujours,' "  Our  Frenchman  was  about  to  reply  to 
the  kingly  shade  when  an  adder  irpriinj^  from  the 
stump  of  a  column  on  which  it  lay  coiled  ;  it  stung 
him  in  the  neck,  and  he  awoke. 

I  suppose  that  all  the  foregoing  must  be  known 
to  some  readers,  but  I  have  never  yet  seen  the 
facts  placed  in  connexion  with  the  celebrated 
wimilc  of  the  New  Zealander,  so  that  possibly  it 
may  be  worth  chronicling  in  "  N-  &>  Q"  This 
tuggests  a  work  worthy  of  the  labour  of  a  man 
of  wide  reading,  viz.  The  Growth  of  Fables,  lUua- 
trations,  and  Similes  in  Universal  Literature,  from 
the  Earliest  Times  to  the  Present  Century.  It  is 
manifest  that  some  similes  develope  according  to 
the  same  law  that  governs  the  growth  of  national 
melodies,  by  change  of  note,  by  fall  and  turn  of

Hetwood  :  Athes.:ecs.  —  It  has  not  been 
pointed  out,  so  far  as  I  know,  that  the  amuaing 
passage  in  Hey  wood's  English  Tmvelkr,  describing 
the  "shipwreck  by  drink,"  is  also  related  in  Athe- 
ntcus  (Deipnoioph,  lib.  ii.  sect,  v.),  where  it  ia 
ciuoteii  from  Timreus  of  Tauromenium.  Casau- 
boo's  edition  of  Athena^us  came  out  in  1597,  and 
again,  with  a  Latin  tninslation,  in  16CH\  The 
edition  of  16(>()  was  probably  in  Heywood's  hands 
when  writing  this  passage,  which,  according  to 
Charles  L.^mb,  **for  its  life  and  humour  might 
have  been  told  or  acted  by  Petruchio  himself.'*

Holland  at  a  period  when  Great  Britain  might  be 
suppoHed  to  need  a  return  to  the  sound  episcopal 
teaching  of  the  Binhop  of  Bangor— for  I  assign 
all  these  diimpty  little  importations  to  the  time 
of  the  Commonwealth^— and  probably  originating 
in  the  filial  piety  and  great  zeal  for  the  Church  of 
his  son,  Thomas  Bayly,  then  an  exile  in  Holland 
for  over-demonstration  of  his  loyalty  to  King 
Charles  and  Hi^h  Church  tendencies  (see  his 
Motjal  ChiuUr).  In  the  introductory  address  to 
the  Prince  to  all  the  editions  of  the  Practice  of 
Ficty  here  cited,  the  author  says  : — "  This  is  the 
third  epistle  he  has  written  to  draw  his  Highness 
nearer  to  God,  and  that  he  here  once  again  offers 
his  old  miic  ntw  stampt."  And  this  is  the  last 
revise  of  the  author,  who  died  in  IG31.  The 
favourable  antecedents  of  the  old  orthodox  Frac- 
fke  of  Pidy  have  procured  it  a  modern  editor  in 
Miss  Grace  Webster,  whose  edition,  published  in 
1832,  like  most  old  books  so  edited,  adds  little  to 
the  object  of  ray  inquiry  beyond  a  neat  bio-

"THE  BUFFS." 
(2*"»  S.  vi.  431.) 

HisTORicus  makes  one  or  two  queries,  at  the 
above  reference,  ns  to  this  ancient  corps,  in  which  I 
had  the  honour  of  serving  for  some  years.  First, 
"  Where  w,is  it  stationed  in  March,  176 17  It 
sailed  from  ^pithead  for  Eelleiale  on  Thursday^ 
Maif  14,  1701/'  &c.  Surely  HiSTORictis  is  quite 
wrong  here.  In  the  historical  records  of  the  regi- 
ment for  the  year  1760  it  if*  Kald  :— 

^*The  regltnejit  hftTing  ouffcred  considerable  loM  In 
kflled  and  wounded,  nnd  by  di»cft»o  oriijntr  from  the 
climHte"  (the  French  West  India  islands),  «  it  retorned 
to  Ennjtand  in  17t>0  to  recruit." 

1701.  •' In  the  sprinjc  of  17G1  it  vrm  ftg&in  prepw«d 
for  active  f^rvice,  tokd  formed  part  rtf  the  forc«  placed 
under  the  orderi  of  Major-Gen.  Hodgson  for  an  attack 
upon  Bcllf -Isle^  a  French  island  in  the  Buy  of  Biacfty,  off 
the  coMt  af  Brittany.  The  expedition  appeared  before 
this  place  ou  the  7tk  of  Ap^-it,  and  a  landing  WM 
ftttemjited  on  the  following  dny,"  &c. 

•'  Why  hos  this  corps  been  termed  the  Nut- 
crackers \  ^'  I  ftm  quite  unable  to  answer  this  querj^ 
and  shall  be  gUul  to  hear  of  the  reason  why.  "  Also 
the  Resurrectionists,  after  May  16,  1811  ? "  This  is 
answered  in  a  note  at  the  above  reference.  "  Also 
whet  her  tliis  regiment  is  entitled  to  the  motto, 
*  Veteri  frondescit  honore,'  and,  if  so,  why  I "  I 
suppose,  when  dilferent  articles  of  uniform  are 
served  out  to  troops  by  Government  with  a  motto 
on  them,  that  thei-e  can  be  little  doubt  but  that 
the  ti-oops  eo  nerved  have  a  right  to  such  a 
moUo.  If  IIisTORicus  means  to  ask  whether  the 
reghiient  has  a  ^igh^,  from  its  previous  history,  to 
such  a  motto,  I  answer  that  I  belfeve  no  regiment 
in  the  British  anny  hns  a  better  right  to  such  a 
one.  liCt  me,  in  jw  brief  a  manner  as  I  can,  give 
a  short  account  of  this  regiment  from  the  historical, 
recoinls  : — 

1572.  "Tn  the  month  of  March  of  this  vear  the

were  lit  this  period  unemployed.  CaptAiii  Thom&s  MorgAC, 
an  officer  of  disting^aiitbed  merit,  being  })riTately  counte* 
nanced  by  seTernt  noblemen  and  other  persons  who  were 
favourable  to  the  Ftemisli  cause«  and  assisted  irith  money 
iy  the  deputation  from  Flushing,  raised  a  company  of 
three  hundred  men,  among  whom  vren  upwards  of  one 
Luudred  gentiemon  of  property,  who,  being  inspired  with 
a  noble  enthusiasm  for  the  cause  of  religion  and  liberty, 
enrolled  thcmselTea  under  the  veteran  Captain  Morgan.* 
TbtK  company  was  the  nucleuii  of  a  numerous  body  of 
British  troops,  which,  after  the  peace  of  Mnnster  in 
]648.  was  reduced  to  one  repruent,  and  having  been  re- 
called to  England  ia  1(3(35,  is  now  the  3rd  Regiment  of 
Foot,  or  the  Buffs," 

Froui  tills  date,  1572^  until  1653  the  regiment 
wus  iu  constant  iictive  service,  chiefly  against  the 
Spaniards  in  the  Low  Coimtries,  In  thelatteryear^ 

'*  The  States,  having  now  no  enemy  to  fear,  reduced 
the  strength  of  their  land  forces;  and  the  English 
Tetertms  were  incorporated  into  one  regimentj  which 
was  designatod  the    Holland    Regiment,  and    is  now 

the  3rd  Regiment  of  Foot  in  the  British  line, After 

the  reduction  of  tlie  four  regiments  into  one,  which  event 
is  said  to  have  taken  place  in  1655,  the  colonelcy  appears 
to  have  been  co&ferred  on  the  veteran  Colonel  John 
Cromwell,  who  had  for  many  years  commanded  one  of 
th«  jumor  English  regiments." 

Anil  now  comes  a  bit  of  history  that  is  very  in- 
teresting, antl,  I  think,  highly  to  the  credit  of  the 
regiment  :^ 

*' Although  England  had  become  a  CommonweaUh, 
and  the  royal  family  was  in  exile,  yet  the  Holland  Regi- 
ment preferred  its  loyalty,  and  it  appears  to  hnve  been 
composed  of  men  firmly  attached  to  the  royal  cause.  Tbe 
bnvve  Colonel  John  Cromwell,  who  ytm  a  near  kinsman 
of  the  Lord  Protector,  and  who  had  been  in  the  service 
of  the  State*  upwards  of  thirty  years,  was  particularly 
distintrui&hed  for  his  attachment  to  the  royal  family^  and 
he  litild  the  regicides  and  usurpers  of  the  kingly  authority 
ill  >j.'h  detestation  that  be  obtained  permission  of  King 
Charles  IT.  to  change  his  name  from  Cromwell  to 
Williams." 

l(>(]5.  The  regiment  was  recalled  to  Endand 
by  Charles  IL,  and  hh  Majesty  conferred  the 
colonelcy  of  the  regiment  on  Lieut.-Col.  Rohert 
Sidne3%  bj  commiasion  dated  May  31,  U!G3.  At 
the  srtme  tinje  its  appellation  of  the  Holland  Regi- 
ment continued  during  the  succeedinp;  twenty-four 
years.  It  obtained  rtink  in  the  English  army  from 
the  date  of  its  arriral  in  England  in  M:iy,  10^35,  and 
wa*  consequently  fourth  in  the  British  11  dp.  The 
first  was  Douglas'a  Rt";i;iinent,  now  the  1st  Royal, 
which  arrived  in  Englantl  from  France  in  'the 
summer  of  1*361,  and  obtained  rank  from  that 
date  ;  the  second  was  the  Tangier  Eeghnent,  now 
the  2nd  or  Queen's  Royal,  ndsetl  in  the  autumn 
of  IP*H\  ;  the  third  wtis  the  Admiral'»t  or  Duke  of

incorporation  of  tlie  Duke  of  York  s  Regiment  it 
became  the  3rd  Foot^  and  obtained  at  that  time 
the  title  of  "  Prince  George  of  Denmark's 
ment." 

1707.    In  this  year  "  Prince   George  of  Den-

dragon  on  its  colours,  aa  a  regimental  badge,

The  dragon,  being  one  of  the  supporters  to  tl 
royal  arms  in  the  time  of  Queen  Elizabeth, 
indicated  the  origin  of  the  corps  in  her  Majest 
reip:n.     In  this  year  was  aho  St.  Andrew's  Ci 
added  to  St,  George's  Cross  on  the  colours  of 
Euglish   regiments  ;   and  a  colour  with  the  t^ 
crostsea  was  designated  the  Union, 

I7u8,  On  the  decease  of  H.R.H.  Prince  Geoi 
of  Deniu:irk,  Oct.  28,  1708,  the  regiment  waa 
longer  distinguisilied  by  his  title.  "'  In  official  reti 
and  orders  it  was  distinguished  by  the  name  of 
colonel  ;  in  newspapers  and  other  perioilical  nub- 
Ucations  it  was  sometimes  styled  the  HoUaSid 
Regiment ;  and  it  eventually  obtained  a  title 
the  colour  of  the  clothing.  The  men  s  coata 
lined  and  faced  with  buff;  they  also  wore 
waistcoats^  bufi?  breeches,  and  buff  stockingAj

connect  this  word,  through  the  French,  with  calx 
or  coieewj,  aa  being  a  trodden  or  foot  imth.  The 
raised  tide  path — often  a  church  path— is  mostly 
distinguished  from  the  roadway  by  this  M*ord 
cauitimy.  It  has  nothing  whatever  to  do  with 
lime,  nor  even  limegtoae  nor  chalk,  which  are  not 
used  in  preference  to  other  materials.

This  word  is  the  translation,  in  the  statute 
of  the  23  Hen.  VIII.  c.  6,  of  cakcta  in  the 
statute  of  the  6  Hen.  VI.  c.  5,  and  no  doubt  it  is 
derived  from  ml'\,  chalk.  The  old,  and,  according 
to  Johnson,  the  correct,  form  of  raiisetrmf  wfts 
Cftitsctj^  which  is  still  in  use  in  the  IMidland 
Cotmties,  iind  is  commonty  applied  to  jyavetl  foot- 
ways. Minsheu  gives  us,  "chaussee  ou  chaulcee, 
a  ealce,  qua  in  pavimentis  plernraque  utuntur/' 
Clinmbnud's  Fr.  ef  Antj.  Diet,  lias  "  ehausste,  levee 
de  terre  pour  retener  I'eau  d'un  ctang,  «!fcc.,  ou  pour 
wervir  de  passage  daoa  les  lieux  marecageux." 
Bailey,  Dki.  gives  "  a  Ijank  raised  in  marshy 
ground  for  a  foot  passage."  Spelman  (Gkisary) 
gives  three  meaningg  to  cakeatc,^  cakdnm :  (1)  a 
paved  way  ;  (2)  a  bank  to  restrain  the  flow-  of 
water  ("  agger  ad  coercendas  aquas  ") ;  (3)  a  pool 
the  waters  of  which  are  kept  in  by  a  bank  I'as  I 
infer  from  the  grant  cited  by  him).  The  question, 
therefore,  what  mkU^  means  in  the  stjitute  of 
Hen.  VIII.  must  be  determined  by  the  object  of 
that  statute,  which  was  to  cause  the  construction 
of  works  to  prevent  "  the  outrageous  tlowing, 
surges,  and  course  of  the  sea"  and  rivers  upon 
low  grounds.  It  is  clear  that  a  bank  to  restrain 
the  flow  of  water  would  aptly  fall  within  the  scope 
of  that  statute,  whilst  a  paved  footway  would  not. 
The  inference,  therefore,  is  that  cnkk.*  means  a 
bank  ;  and  the  term  may  have  been  applied  to  a 
bank  pavetl  on  its  ton  with  chalk,  or  guarded  or 
floitered  (as  we  should  say  on  the  banks  of  the

The  verb  nn^n^  A--S.,  or  «t7i^«n,  High  Ger., 
iiggran,  Gothic,  is  common  to  all  the  Teutonic 
dialects.  The  original  preterite  wm  aing.  tatig^ 
plur.  jn(ngon,,h[xt  very  early  $ang  became  corrupted 
into  tiong.  Thus  in  King  Alfred's  translation  of 
Bede,  speaking  of  Ciediuon  be  says,  "tong  he  arest 
ltd  ujiddan^^cardes  geaceape"  (He  first  aang  of  the 
creation  of  the  world).  Chaucer,  Miller's  Tak; — 
♦*  Thcrlo  he  tong  Bomtime  a  loud  qainibk." 

By  the  time  of  our  authorized  veraion  of  the 
8cripttirea  mitg  and  ^ung  had  become  confounded, 
and  u^jed  indiflerently.  Thus  Ex.  x\%  1  we  have, 
"  then  Mo&es  and  Aaron  tang  thits  song,"  whiUt  in 
Rev.  V,  9  we  read,  "  they  fung  a  new  song."  Biy- 
den  {AUxrnidcr^  Fcatt)  gives  us  : — 

*'  War,  he  tung,  h  toil  and  trouble, 
Honour  but  an  empty  bubble." 

Shakspeare  uses  sun{f  excluaively  both  in  the 
singular  and  plural  : — 

"To  whom  lie  ntng  in  rude  bareh-ionnding  rljjmei."

and  I>ry<leii  to  full  l>ack  upon,  Byron  can  hardly 
be  censured  for  using  the  ordinary  current  lan-

cockneyisin  of  "  there  let  him  lay;'  which  ia  ab-

are  iwjcu»ed  of  stealing  twenty-four  marks.  Is 
Erie  to  be  considered  a  title,  and  did  it  confer  any 
recognized  authority  on  George  ?  Htis  this  question 
been  examined?  It  may  interest  Mr*  Kilgoitr 
to  know  that  we  can  trace  the  word  Tinkkr  at  least 
7<iO  years  back,  to  the  reign  of  William  the  Lion 
(116ri-lLM4}.  He  will  find  it  in  a  chitrter  (No.  4f\) 
in  the  Lxbcv  Eccksic  {U  Scon,  Edinb.,  1843.  It 
ift  the  gift  of  a  piece  of  ground  in  the  town  of 


Perth  by  King  William  to  his  armourer  (galnton\

had  been  tme  that  the  Gipsies  did  not  make 
appearance  in  Western  Europe  till  the  fii 
century,  here  we   have  at  all  events    the 
Tinkler  in  the  end  of  the  twelfth  or  beginni 
the    thirteenth    century,      I    have  great   doi 
whether  TinkUr  was  ever  &  special  name  of 
Gipsies.    Perhaps  Mr.  Pictos,  with  his  1 
ledge  of  Northern  and  Eastern  languncrfs,  m 
able  to  throw  some  light  on  the  origin  »f  this 
I  xuppose  itannvvi,  which  in  the  fourth  cent 
came  to  signify  tin,  is  of  the  same  root.    Can 
traced  to  the  Ea.«it,  as  I  believe  Kacra-iTtpo^  a 
to  some  Sanscrit  root,  for  in  that  ca^  it  i 
lead  us  to  suppose  that    there  must   have 
mines  of  tin  known  to  Eastern  nations  before  < 
wall  was  visited  by  the  Phwnicians  ?    Where 
the?e  mines,  if  such  existed  in  early  times  ? 

The  name  of  Tinkler  continues  to  be  funnd

it  appears  in  an  old  charter,  of  which  I  bai

NOTES  AND  QUEiUES. 


[5**  S.  V.  Jah.  15,  '76, 


Leases  for  99  OE  9!)9  Year?  (b^  S.  iv.  ^89, 
472.)^  venture  on  a  conjecture  that  these  have 
originated  in  lenses  fjranted  under  the  ])owers  of 
lamilj^  settlements.  Such  powers,  if  intended  to 
apply  to  mere  agriculturjd  leaaeii,  would  be  limited 
to  the  usual  term  of  21  year:?.  If  intended  for 
building  purposes,  on  terms  which  would  give  the 
builder  security  for  the  possession  by  himself  «vnd 
his  children,  with  a  prospect  of  reversion  to  the  | 
lei*3ors  family  at  a  period  not  too  remote  to  he 
contenjplated  aa  a  reality,  100  years  would  be  the 
natural  limit.  And  if  the  leasing  power  was  in- 
tended to  be  practically  unlimited,  it  would  be 
simpler  to  substitute  KMKJfor  1(M»  in  the  "common 
form,"  than  to  express  the  intention  in  other  wonis. 
When  the  conveyancer  came  to  act  on  these  powers, 
nice  questions  might  occur  to  lawyers,  such  as 
whether  a  leJvae  to  commence  from  a  future  day, 
fixed  upon  as  the  usual  rent-daj',  would  or  would 
not  be  a  lease  for  a  longer  period  than  was  au- 
thorized by  the  power,  and  might  induce  him,  ex 
ahumlante  cantcldj  to  reduce  the  term  to  990  years, 
rigbtlj'  considering  thnt  in  a  looo  years'  term  a 
year  more  or  less  was  of  no  practical  importance. 
The  same  considerations  in  a  less  degree  would 
account  for  the  substitution  of  a  99  years'  term 
for  1()«> ;  but  in  preparing  the  agricuTtuml  lease 
the  termination  of  it  would  be  too  much  in  the 
immediate  contemplation  of  the  parties  to  admit  of 
the  term  l)eing  curtailed  by  a  single  year.  Terms 
are  created  for  all  aorta  of  purposes  in  settlements ; 
and  when  they  are  for  the  purpose  of  securing]: 
jointures  or  life  annuities,  they  are  usually  for  lUO 
years,  and  if  for  securincj  sums  of  money  in  gross 
they  are  for  terms  of  500  or  hMK  2tHH>  or  30u0 
years,  arbitmrdy  chosen  for  no  other  purpose  than 
to  distinguish  them  from  one  another  xvhen  several 
teciDJl  are  created  by  the  same  deed  or  aubsist  in 
the  aame  family  title.  They  are  never  for  99  or 
999  years,  such  terms  being  invariably  confined  to 
buUding  leases.  J.  F.  M-

The  distinction  is  (ptite  clear,  knighthood  of  the 
better  »ort  being  bestowed  on  the  field  of  battle, 
but  civic  knighthood— an  empty  compliment  to 
wealth,  fussiness,  or  political  servility— being  <:fiven

The  Obugatioss  op  Executors  (5^  S.  iv. 
34£>.) — I  do  not  think  "it  is  Walker,  the  author  of 
The  Orif/inal^  who  raises  the  odd  question  whether 
a  man's  executors  are  not  bound  to  give  a  dinner- 
party for  him  if  he  dies  between  the  invitation  and 
date  of  the  bamiuet," 

If  Walker  did  raise  the  question,  it  was  only  at 
second-hand.  I  took  in  The  Oriijinal  as  it  c^me 
€utj  now  more  than  forty  years  ago,  and  ray  re- 
membnmce  of  the  idea  dates  from  before  that  time. 
I  feel  sure,  but  have  not  the  means  of  verifying  my 
strong  imcresaion,  that  Dr.  Kitchener  was  the 
author  of  tiie  remark,  not  as  raising  a  question,  but 
a5  laying  down  a  principle  which  ought  to  become 
a  law.  Ellcee.

scjinty,  and  are  scattered  among  several  ditferent 
publications.  George  Vertue's  Life  and  Works  of 
Thomas  Simon^  the  greatest  of  these  artists,  is  very 
incomplete.  Much  new  information  has  been  dis- 
covered since  Vertue's  time^  1753.     Horace  Wal- 


pole's  Ajucdoks  of  Painting  and  Pinkerton's 
MeJaUie  Hutory  of  England  contain  several 
brief  notices  of  medallists.  The  Numismatic  Chro-

of  Ux  or  money  payable  on  homed  animale,  so 
HoTH-gitTth  means  horn  atclottife,  a  guarded  or

m'8  Red  Hat  (5«»  S,  iii.  64,  233,  278,  456  ;  iv. 
337,)— I  can  hardly  hope  to  alter  the  present  ntti- 
tede  (p.  337)  of  Mr,  Tew  towards  the  work  of 
Pietto  GUnnone,  but  I  shall  venture  to  offer  the 
naden  of  **N,  &  Q,"  both  some  means  of  testing 
lutralueas  nn  histormn,  and  some  independent 
IcitiiDostes  to  the  accuracy  of  his  statement  re- 
fftt^g  the  origin  and  Bymbolism  of  the  colour 
<i  tbe  Cardinars  bat.  First,  as  to  Giannone'a 
•ntkftrily  ;  it  may  be  suflficient  to  refer  Mr.  Tew 
lo  Hallam's  Middk  AqcJj  where  he  will  find  the 


litOTvi  CirlU  dl  Napoli  nuoted  along  with  Sb- 
mondi'a  HuiQirc  dea  liipubiiqucs  Italicnnes.  Mr. 
Stubbs  also  <iuote9  Giannone  in  the  now  volume 
of  hi.-*  Constitutional  History,  Secondly,  as  to 
the  attribution  of  the  red  hat  to  Pop«  Innocent  IV., 
and  the  precise  date  and  significance  of  the  gift, 
I  will  offer  Mr.  Tew  concurrent  lines  of  testimony 
from  English  and  foreign  writers  of  the  present 
day,  based  upon  mediaeval  authority. 

Mr.  T,  L.  Kington  (now  Oliphant),  in  his  IJu- 
tory  of  FredericI:  11.^  Emperor  of  the  Romans, 
vol  ii.  p.  3^8  (Macmillan,  1862),  in  describing  the 
firat  Council  of  Lyons  (1245),  suiy.s:  •'  At  thia  council 
it  wai^  first  decreed  that  the  members  of  tbe  college 
should  wear  red  hats^  in  token  of  their  willingness 
to  fihed  their  blood  for  the  Church."  For  tho 
authority  on  which  this  atatement  ia  b;ised  Mr. 
Kington-Oliphant  refers  to  **  De  Curbio,"  i,  e, 
Nicholas  of  Corby,  an  English  friar,  chaplain  and 
biographer  of  Innocent  IV.  This  is  absolutely 
contemporary  evidence,  and  upon  it,  nn  doubt,  is 
based  the  similar  account  given  by  if.  De  Cherrier, 
the  learned  French  historian  of  the  struirgle  be- 
tween the  Pope.^  and  the  Emnerors  of  the  House  of 
Hohenstaufen  {Histoire  di  la  Lutte  dcs  Papes  tt 
diA  Empercurs  de  la  Mais&n  de  SmiabCj  par  0.  Be 
Cherrier,  Paris,  4  voIs.»  1841),  vol.  iii.  pp.  13S-9  : 

"  A  droits,  dans  la  net,  les  c»rdinaux-6Tt'ques  occu- 
pftient  lo  premier  rang  ;  puis  Tenatent  les  prttres  et  le« 
diacres :  touA  yortaient  Ja  barrette  roupre,  qu'on  leur 
aTAit  dotin^e  tout  receiutmeDt  comme  un  attribut  de  Icur

afin  d©  timoigner  que  cliQcun  d'eux  t'tait  pret  Hl  Terser 
ion  sang  pour  la  dtfenie  de  rj*;gli8e/' 

It  will  be  observed  that  while  Mr.  Kiogton-OH- 
phant's  words  imply  that  the  red  hat  was  decreed 
i>j  the  Council,  of  which  Mr,  Tew  cannot  find  any 
trace  in  Harduin,  the  language  of  M.  De  Cherrier 
only  asserts  that  a  hat  or  cap  (Barretle,  Blretta)  of 
that  colour  was  then  first  publicly  worn,  while  the 
symbolism  is  explained  in  the  same  manner  by 
both  writera.  C  H.  E,  Cabmichael. 

"  LuKCHEOX^'  (5«»  S,  IT.  366,  398,  43^4,  524.)— 
Very  often  have  I  taken  **  las  once "  (5*^  S.  iv. 
3!>8)  in  Spain,  and  heard  it  spoken  of  there  and 
elsewhere  ;  but  never  did  I  hear  the  second  word 
pronounced  on-che.  One/,  whether  it  means  the 
number  eleven,  or,  as  las  onct\  eleven  o'clock,  and 
the  luncheon  taken  at  that  hour,  is  pronounced 
Hn^tM  in  Uastilian,  or  im-sc  in  Southern  and 
Amorican  Spanish. 

Sometimes,  by  way  of  jest,  las  once  h  said  to 
take  its  name  from  tbe  eleven  letters  of  aguardiente

in  thia  work  flu  *'  not  unwisely  eliruinated  from  the 
later  editions.''    I  oianot  see  the  wisdom  of  such 
eli  mi  nation.     The    portraits    are    in    themselves 
strikiD^'ly  clever  ;  and  in  mv  poor  judj^meut  are 
C[nite  defensible.     It  i»  true*  tlint  the  satire  con- 
tained in  some  of  them  m  pungent  enough  ;  but 
then   it  is  polished,  and  refers   not   to  private 
cbanicier,  but  to  the  characters  of  the  personage® 
aa  thev  appeared  to  the  public,  and^  in  most  aiBes, 
may  be  taken  to  imply  a  justifiable  moral  rebuke. 
I  tn;jst,  therefore,  that  they  will  be  presen-ed.     It 
may  not  be  an  interesting,  lookiop  at  this  same 
process  of  elimination,  if  a  list  of  the  portraita 
contained  in  the  early  edition  which  I  read  be

Bishop  of  Exeter  (Philpotts),  Duke  of  Wellington^

Monumental  lyscRirnoNS  itr  Noejia5- 
Frew'ch  (5«»»  S.  iv.  449.)— Mb.  Boask  will  find 
many  instances  of  Norman-French  iQicriptions  in 
Haines's  Manual  of  Momimtniat  BrasMes,  Catti'i 
Incised  Slahs^  and  BoutelFs  {l\Tisfian  Monu- 
ments, It  is  surely  very  exceptional  to  find,  not 
only  Norman-French,  but  any  ingcnptiDns  oo 
monuments,  earlier  than  the  thirteenth  oentozy. 
A  considerable  nutuber  of  the  thirteenth  ce^nt^i 
bvit  still  more  I  fancy  of  the  fourteenth  centaif, 
inscriptions  were  in  Korman- French,  which  wm 
the  language  of  the  Court,  This  toDgae  «ii 
chiefly  atlected  by  knights  and  ladtes^  whilat  priiiti 
were,  for  the  most  part,  heid  in  memory  in  cancoi- 
cal  Latin. 

I  have  looked  throitgh  the  pages  of  Weerfrt 
Funereal  Monuments^  and  find  trie  following  niUB- 
ber  of  inscriptions  in  Kon nan- French  :  diocese  of 
Canterbury,  two  without  date,  and  four  of  the 
years  1»75,  13T6,  14iXt,  1407,  refipectively ;  dio- 
cese of  Rochester,  four  without  datt,  and  one  of 
each  of  the  years  1354,  1300,  1S67,  1309,  13A 
1385,  1392,  14f>7  ;  diocese  of  London,  ei^t  wilt 
out  date,  two  of  137^%  two  of  14W,  ana  one  d 
each  of  the  years  1221,  1350,  1362,  1371, 1380, 
139C,  1309,  1414  ;  diocese  of  Norwich,  foux  with- 
out date,  and  one  of  the  yenr  1373. 

There  is  onlv  one  monument,  to  my  knowledge 
in  the  hundred  of  Scars<!ale,  in  this  county,  having 
ft  Xoinmn -French  inscription,  and  that  i»  in  d» 
church  of  Barlow.  It  is  to  the  nienjory  of  Julii, 
the  wife  of  Adam  Fmunceis,  but  the  inscription  vi 
imperfect  and  without  a  date.  I  take  it,  howerir, 
to  be  of  the  third  cpzRrter  of  the  thirteenth  cen-

most  useful  work  of  Mr.  Blunt's  that  it  only  remains  for 
us  to  thank  him  for  having  now  placed  it  within  reach 
of  the  many.  We  command  to  our  readers'  attention 
Mr.  Blunt's  note  on  the  Tt  Diwm,  as  *'  thm  most  vene- 
rable hymn  *  haa  lately  been  a  subject  of  discuasion  in 
these  column^.  How  many  church-goers  are  aware  of 
the  fact  that  the  Jubilate  was  interted  originally  as  a 
substitute  for  the  Ber^cdictuSf  when  the  latter  occurred 
in  the  Lesson  or  Oospel?  Mr.  Blunt  writes;— "The 
days  on  which  it  (the  Jubitatf)  should  be  us^-d  are  there- 
fore the  fr)llowirii; — Fah,  \^^  June  17,  June  -4  <3L  John 
Baptist's  Day),  Oct  15.  The  general  e.ubstitution  of  the 
Jubilate  for  the  Btnedictus  ia  Very  much  to  be  depre- 
cated.*"

jfct  18  onr  v  rensire  reading  would  have 

«littU«d  him  tu  trc  u  amusingly  and  instructively.

w:  ':n  on  tbi^  Q  of  which  they 

h-  1^  much  th  ;ae,  and  labour. 

Krir  *:^ntury  «^,  when  I    began  to 

rr.  ?nme  chaitnitig  papers  by  Sir 
^  ive,  and  others,  on  the 

ular  fictions,"  attracted 
ftUcDLjtj.  Tht  iiiljcct  90  fascinated  me  that 
1  {funriiHt  11  with  earnestnesa,  and  was  eventually 
r»«a7d«d  bv  the  dijcover)- of  what  I  then  believed, 
Btni  bcliere,  to  be  an  important  ekuient  in  the 


history  of  the  dissemination  of  popular  tradition^ 
which  had  been  orerlooked  by  those  accomplished 
schoLirs,  as  it  has  been  since' by  Keightley,  Prio^ 
and  other  subaequcnt  writers. 

Having  given  the  subject  much  consideratitm, 
and  collected  what  I  thought  strong  evidenoa  of 
the  .soundness  of  my  viewa,  I  ventured  to  consult 
my  kind  and  learaed  friend^  the  late  Mr,  Doao^ 
and  I  was  warmly  encouraged  by  him  to  pursue  mj 
inquiries  ;  some  years  afterwards  I  received  siim- 
lar  advice  from  Dean  Miluian  ;  yet,  though  I  hav9 
many  "  priefs  of  it  in  ray  note-book," — formed  « 
collection  of  books  on  the  popular  songs,  legendi^ 
and  auperatitions  of  different  natious  perhaps  ua- 
rivftllcd, — written  a  few  papers  on  ^bakspeare** 
Folklore,— coined  that  aame  word  folk-lore,  and 

fmbliBhed  a  long  and  perhaps  deservedly  fnrjiottea 
ittle  book.  Lays  and  Z4^entU  of  P'arioas  Nationu;, 
—all  the  time,  thought,  and  labour  bestowed  bj 
mo  on  this  subject  hm  envied  in  nothing. 

But,  though  not  a  line  has  ever  appeared  of 
what  I  once  ho|>ed  would  win  me  some  reputation, 
I  have  been  led,  partly  by  force  of  circurastiJioea, 
purtly  by  what  1  felt  to  be  an  act  of  duty,  to  pub- 
lish two  books  which  I  certainly  never  conteoi- 
plated. 

How,  being  neither  physiologist  nor  statist,  I 
was  led  to  publish  a  volume,  The  Longevity  of 
MaUf  developing,  for  the  first  time  in  a  book 
devoted  to  the  subject,  those  views  which  a  me- 
dical dissentient  from  them  hi\3  designated  the 
**Thomsiftn  theory,"  I  pa-«s  by  at  the  present 
moment.  How,  being  neither  lawyer  nor  politician, 
I  have  been  led,  I  believe  1  may  truly  Bay,  oe  an 
act  of  duty  to  undertake  the  exposure  of  the  in- 
numerable falsehoods  of  Mrs,  Serres,  ia  more  ger- 
mane to  the  present  commumcatiom 

Two  great  lawyers,  one  a  great  politician,  wero 
accessories  before'  the  fact.  When  on  a  vutit  to 
Lord  Brougham,  in  1858,  he  gave  me  a  copy  of 
Mrs.  Ryves's  Appeal  for  Royalty ^  which  htwl  ju5t 
been  sent  to  him  by  poaU  I  read  it,  and  told 
him,  when  he  asked  my  opinion  of  it,  thnt  I 
thought  it  just  as  fibsnid  and  untnuhful  as  her 
mother's  attempt  to  prove  that  Dr.  Wilmot  wn 
"Junius,"  which  I  had  read  some  twenty  year*  be- 
fore. A  long  and  curious  conversation  with  Lord 
Brougham  led  me  to  feel  an  interest  in  the  stib- 
ject  which  I  had  never  felt  before  ;  and  when  th« 
Ryres  trial  took  place  in  18(16,  I  watched  its  pro- 
gress with  great  curiosity.  A  day  or  two  after  ite 
conclusioD  the  Lord  Chief  Baron  (Pollock)  askt^

Happily  1 1 ucceeded.  In  "  N.  &  Q."  of  July  7, 
1866  (3^  8,  X.  1-3),  the  reader  will  find,  on  the 
best  Polish  authority,  kindly  furnished  to  me  by 
Mr.  RttlatoD*  the  eminent  Sckvonic  scholar,  that 
Poniat«waki  had  do  sister  whom  Dr.  Wilraot  could 
have  married  ;  and  I  went  further,  and  showed 
that  Poniutowski,  having  been  only  seventeen 
years  of  age  in  1749,  the  date  of  the  alleged  mar- 
ria^e,  could  not  have  had  a  marriageable  daughter. 

My  interest  in  Mre.  Serres^s  falsehoods  beinf; 
thus  stimuLited,  I  next  investigated  her  wicked 
scandals  about  George  II L  and  i\\Q  Fair  Quaker 
The  result  was  that,  in  *'N.  &  Q."  of  February, 
1867,  I  proved  the  whole  story  of  Hannah  Light- 
foot  to  be  a  myth  as  far  as  concerned  George  III., 
and,  in  the  interest  of  truth,  felt  it  my  duty  to 
reprint  my  discovery  in  the  Httle  volume  which 
appeared  in  18G7,  under  the  title  of  Hannfih 
Lightfoot ;  Queen  Charlotte  and  th€  Chevalier 
If  Eon;  I}r.  Wilmof»  Folish  Princesg.  And  this 
is  the  second  book  published  by  me  under  the 
force  of  circumstances,  and  the  publication  of 
mrhich  I  certainly  never  contemplated. 

The  result  of  these  investigations  was  to  inteuRify 
my  intejest  in  the  story  of  Prince&s  Olive,  which 
was  increased  by  my  purchase,  at  the  sale  of  filr. 
Robert  Cole's  MSS.,  of  a  large  mass  of  original 
letters  and  documents  connected  with  Mrs.  Serres 
and  the  knaves  and  dupes  who  were  her  associ- 
ates. Among  these  are  papers  and  letters  of 
Serres,  Including  his  will  and  the  deed  of  separa- 
tion ;  some  ^W  letters  of  Mrs.  Serres  to  Lady  Anne 
Hamilton,  and  MSS.  in  that  lady's  handwriting  ; 
a  sort  of  autobiography  of  the  Eev.  William 
Groves,  who  pretended  he  was  the  Prince  of 
Monaco,  and  copies  of  his  numerous  letters  to 
ministers,  advocating  the  claim  of  the  Princeas  ; 
curious  letters  by  Mr.  Strango  Petre,  wlio  some- 
times called  himself  Fitz-Stratheorn,  sometimes 
Fitz-Olarence,  and  thirty-two  printed  pages  of 
letters  addressed  by  him  to  a  lady  of  title,  and  so 
printed  no  doubt  for  the  purpose  of  extorting 
money  from  her  or  from  her  family  j  also  various 
other  pai>ers  connected  with  the  Princess  too 
numerous  to  mention. 

I  have  since  from  time  to  time  exposed  the 
utter  falsity  of  many  of  Mrs.  Serres's  statements. 
I  do  not  believe  there  is  one  which  I  cannot 
equally  demolish ^  and  I  hope  to  be  permitted  to 
perform  a  duty  which  I  feci  I  owe  to  the  Crown 
and  the  nation,  even  though  by  so  doing  I  offend 
those  enlightened  patriots  who  compound  for  their 
abuse  of  royalty  by  their  patronage  of  those  who 
are  oniy  pretenders  to  it.- 

Aft^r  replying  to  the  shake  of  the  head  which 
this  statement  may  evoke  from  some  grave 
reader, 

"*  .My  pulie  as  youra  doos  temperately  keep  time. 
And  beata  as  heultbful  inu>ic," 

I  will  give  him  an  account  of  a  curious  fact  which 


I  have  just  discorered,  and  which  deserres  a  place 
in  a  future  history  of  imposture. 

It  is  a  stnjng  proof  of  Mrs.    Ryves's  justifia* 
tion   in    believing   the   public  had   for^t*'^'*'   -" 
about  Mrs,  Serres's  absurd  claim,  that,  wi 
revived  it    nearly  half  a   centurj'  later, 
the  audacity  to  start,  as  her   mother    hi 
before  her,  with  the  marriage  of  Dr.  Wli 
the  Polish  Princess  j  and  Mrs.  Kyves  must  liatv 
known,  though  nobody  else  in  court,  includtTi-  thf 
learned  counsel,  knew  it,  that  the  Polish  1 ' 
had  been  proved  to  be  a  nonentity  as  long 
1825  t 

Those  who,  like  myself,  are  unfortunately  oil 
enough  to    remember  the    Princess    Olive'  wfll  i 
remember  that  one  of  her  rivals  in  notoriety  wif 
Mr.  ex-Sherilf  Parkins,      This  gentleman  ^  ^ 
reputation  for  gallantry,  recorded  in  a   } 
epitaph  which  some  of  your  readers  may  r. 
while  on   the  other  liand   he  was  cliar<j:i 
having  given  to  her  husband  an  ainator\ 
which  he  had  received  from  Sirs.  Serres. 
letter,  a  very  characteristic  one,  has  been  pi 
in  other  places  besides  the  Memoir  of  Serrf 
and  as  there  is  no  reason  to  believe  that  th- 
wi^is  guilty  of  the  conduct  imputed  to  hiiu,  thcf^i*  ■ 
no  necessity  for  its  reproduction  here.  ■ 

That  the  sheriff  was  at  one  time  a  bel>' 
Mrs.  Serres  there  is  little  doubt  ;  but  the  u 
did  not  last  long^  and  bis  love  must  hf>\ 
violent,  to  judge  from  the  violent  hate  to  v. 
turned.  I  have  now  before  me  a  cutting,' 
newspaper  (name  unknown),  which  contsiiu 
vituperative  letter  from  the  ex-sherifi*,  da 
cember  i'9,  1824,  in  which  he  sjieaks  of 
*'  some  years  ago,  in  a  letter  written  to 
paper,  denounced  as  forgeries  "  the  document! 
duced  by  her,  and  having  since  '^  produced 
vincing  proofs  that  the  Duke  of  Cumber^ 
not  be  her  father,"  But  the  intexest  of 
turns  upon  the  contradiction,  complete 
factory,  which  it  furnishes  to  the  absurd 
Dr.  Wilmot  having  married  a  sister  of  Pouia 

The  object  of  the  letter  is  to  publish  the 
sheriff's  correspondence  with  the  CounteiM 
kiewiez,   a   niece    of   Poniatowskij   who 
Engknd  in  the  autumn  of  ly24.      Mr. 
took  advantage  of  her  being  in  London  to 
an   inquir)"^  respecting  her   uncle's   visit   to 
country,  which  concludes  with  the  folloi^nng 
sage : — 

"Was  Stnnialaui,  the  late  King  of  Poland,  era

To  these  categorical   questions    the    follow

reawaken   the  carious  controversy  regardinj;!  the 
hand   by  which  Nelson  fell."     The  article  thus 
refera  to  the  Alt^moirs  of  a  French  Serffeant,  "  an 
English  tran.slation  of  which  was  published  by  Mr. 
Golburn  some  forty  years  flin*e,"  in  which  **  the 
wTiter    distinctly    and    impudently  claimed   the 
honour  of  having  slain  the  scourge  of  the  French 
nary.      He   was   armed,  he    said,  with   a   ship's 
muHket,  and  fired  at  random,  but  was  much  over- 
joyed when  he  saw  the  Engli.sh  lord  '  drop.* "    I

preface.      It  was  published  in  1827  (fifty  years 
ago)  by  Henry  Colbum,  of  New  Burlington  Street. 
The  writer  of  the  article  doubtless  wrote  of  this 
work    from    memory,   and    therefore    his    alight 
exaggeration  of  Robert  GuUlcmard'a  (for  such  ia

poop  of  the   Victory— havin^f   hit   the   admiral, 
whom  he  rcco^tiized  by  his  orders  and  loss  of  one 
arm,  is  pardonable.    The  tlaimant  of  tbe  invidious 
honour,  if  one  reads  the  account  published  by  Col- 
burn,  rather  excites  surprise  at  hiy  abstinence  from 
crying,  "  Ha  !  ha  ! "  over  an  enemy,  and  says  that 
"  though   the  shot  that  had  brought  down  this 
admiral  had  rendered  a  service  to  my  countr)^  I 
wsw  far  from  considering;  it  an  action  of  which  I 
had  a  right  to  boast.     Besides,  in  the  general  con- 
fusion every  one  could  ckim  the  honour  ;  I  might 
not  be  believed  ;  so  that  1  was  afraid  of  furnish- 
ing my  companions  with  a  subject  of  ridicule,  and 
did  not  think  proper  to  mention  it  to  them,  nor 
to  the  French  olhcers  I  saw  on  board  the  Victory." 
1  do  not  wish  to  aill  special  attention  to  the 
above,  for  the  subject  may  have  been  exhausted, 
but  to  make  it  prefatory  to  a&kinc  if  another  state- 
ment made  by   the    "  French   Sergeant "   in  hia 
AdventuTt*  ever  gained   any  worthy  belief.     He  ' 
states  that  he  was  amanuensis  to  Villeneuve  on 
board  the  Victory,  after  his  capture,  and  that,  on 
his  having  obtained  liberty  to  return  to  France,  he 
travelled  to  Morlaix  with  the  admiral,  thence  to 
Rennes,  where  Villeneuve  was  ajBsas.Hi Dated,  and 
that  be  wa;^  all  hut  a  witness  to  the  act,  heard

late  to  give  assistance  to  Villeneuve,  whom  he 
found  with  "  five  deep  wounds  piercing  hia  breiist."

act  of  murder  having  ended  Villencuve's  days, 
ntber  than  the  general  belief  that  he  died  by 
filicide  ?  I  may  add  that  the  "  French  Sergeant " 
itates  that  he  was  a  conscript  soldier,  and  that  his 
service  on  the  Redoubtable  was  his  first  ta»te  of 
¥attle. A.  L.  G. 

TH03IAS  HILL  JAMIESON. 

It  was  with  a  feeling  of  the  deepest  regret  that 
I  learned,  from  an  appreciative  obituary  notice  in 
ibe  ikntsman  of  the  l()th  instant,  of  the  death,  on 
tiie  9th,  of  my  lamented  friend  T.  Hill  Jamieson, 
tlic  keeper  of  the  Advocates'  Library.  His  loss 
kks  aifected  me  more  than  I  can  express,  and 
leaves  a  scar  that  even  time  will  not  efface.  Mu- 
tiial  sympathy  in  study  made  us  acquainted,  and 
a  few  hours'  conversation  was  sufficient  to  show 
m  that  however  little  we  knew  upon  the  subject  of 
our  esjwciid  study,  as  compared  to  what  we  de- 
nred  to  know,  at  let«t  we  had  devoted  tlie  atten- 
tion of  love  to  the  object  we  had  pursued.  Plea- 
sant, indecil,  were  the  first  hours  passed  in  liteniry 
retrospect,  and  reciprocal  the  delight  to  find  that 
each  had  been  over  the  same  ground,  the  sounding 
«f  one  another's  knowledge  of  books  and  authors, 
till  we  separated,  like  two  fencers,  each  of  whom 
liad  obtained  advantages  sufficient  to  convince  the 
other  of  his  opponent's  devotedness  to  his  art. 
This  is  the  simple  truth,  though  it  may  appear 
•gotisticil,  and  the  result  was  an  acquaintance 
which  was  kept  alive  by  correspondence  from  time 
k>  time.  I  little  thought  how  serious  was  his  ill- 
ness when  he  wrote  to  me  a  few  months  ago  that  he 
had  been  on  the  Continent  for  the  benefit  of  his 
health,  but  had  returned  rather  wors^e  than  better. 

He  was  most  careful  and  conscientious  in  his 
work.  When  editing  the  i<hip  of  Fools  I  obtained 
Jbr  him,  that  he  might  be  accurate,  an  office  copy 
of  Alexander  Barclay's  will  from  Doctors'  Com- 
mons. In  1872  he  issued  a  prosjwctus  of  Halkett's 
great — and,  so  many  deaths  has  it  seen,  I  might 
almost  say  fatal — work  on  the  Auonymoutt  and 
Faeiuhnyinoiis  Authors  of  Great  Jiritain,  noticed 
tj  me  in  your  number  for  May  18,  1872.  The 
task  of  editing  the  MS.  proved  far  greater 
than  had  been  anticipated,  and,  in  spite  of  the 
»ost  arduous  work  which  Jamieson's  co-editor, 
Mr.  Laing,  has  devoted  to  it,  no  further  announce- 
ment as  to  its  progress  has  been  made  during  the 
last  three  years. 

Jamieson  was  always  engaged  upon  some 
laborious  undertaking,  the  editing  of  the  new 
ptinted  Catalog^ie  of  the  Advocates'  lAbrary  (as 
to  which  I  published  a  note  in  your  number  for 
Kay  8  of  last  year)  alone  being  sufficient  to  occupy 
tlie  time  and  energies  of  a  large  staff.  Having 
icad  nearly  every  line  of  this,  so  fur  as  printed,  I 
am  testify  to  the  great  care  of  the  joint  editors, 
Halkett  and  Jamieson ;  at  the  same  time  being 


aware  that  it  is  far  from  realizing  tlie  ideal  cata- 
logue which  lK>th  would  have  desired. 

The  iicotnnan  informs  us  that  he  was  bom  in 
"August,  1843."  The  same  paper  on  June  12, 
1872,  announced  his  marriage,  on  the  daypreviooa, 
to  Jane  Alison  Kilgour,  who,  with  two  sons,  sos- 
vives  him,  to  mourn  his  premature  loss  at  tbe 
early  age  of  thirty-two.  Should  I  be  spared, 
Jamieson's  sons,  in  future  years,  may  rely  on  one 
friend  at  least  for  their  father's  sake.

TiiK  Course  of  THomJiiT  contrary  to  the 
Course  of  Action.— I  have  met  with  twocariooi 
translations  in  our  A.  V.  which  are  not  altogetha 
indefensible  if  taken  as  illustrations  of  this  strange 
phenomenon. 

1.  Acts  V.  30: — '()  B€o9  tu>i'  Trarepoiv  ^jfiar 
7/yctp€v  'hurovv,  ov  vfui'i  6u\€Lpi(ratTt^€  Kpefia- 
o-ai'T«  cTTi  ^I'Aor. — "The  Go«l  of  our  fathen 
raised  iip  Jesus,  whom  ye  slew  and  hanged  <m  a 
tree.''  The  tninsLitors  idmost  invariably  torn  is 
aorist  participle  into  a  co-ordinate  verb,  pretUiMf 
the  main  verb  of  the  Greek.  But  here  it  ia  taiki 
amusing  to  notice  that  the  comparatively  unnsml 
position  of  the  participle  after  the  principal  T«b 
has  caused  translators  to  bring  out  a  vartpof 
TTporepav  in  their  version.  I  think  that,  to  nj 
the  least,  this  might  lead  to  some  misconcepdon  a 
the  truth  in  the  case  of  a  misinformed  reac^r. 

2.  Eph.  v.  2G  :  -  iva  avrijv  uyiao-^^  KaOapitni 
TO)  Aoi'T^Mo  TO?  v6nT0'S  Iv  pyj/iaTt. — '^  That  he 
might  sanctify  and  cleanse  it  with  the  waahing  of 
water  by  the  worrl."  Here  the  action  of  cleaosinc 
is  exactly  coterminnna  and  simultaneous  with  that 
of  washing.  But  tlie  mistake,  if  such  it  may  be 
calletl,  is  exactly  parallel  with  the  former.  I  mn 
heard  this  called  a  serious  mistranslation,  whidi  it 
certainly  is  not,  although  it  would  hoLve  h«i 
better  rendered  ditierently. 

The  well-known  passage  from  the  jSneii, 
"  Moriamur  et  in  me<iia  anna  ruamus,"  is  abort 
the  best  instance  of  this  figure  of  speech  that  I 
know  of.  The  other  (|uotations  cit«d  above  oie 
perfect  instances  in  the  Greek,  albeit  that  the 
language  used  in  ordinary  enough.  It  is  when  co- 
ordinate verbs  are  employed  that  the  trope  becoiMf 
striking,  as  a  conjunction  nearly  always  iniplia 
an  order  in  action  which  corresponds  to  the  oidtf 
of  the  words. 

Deduction  and  induction  may  be  well  explained 
by  this  means,  the  former  being  the  scientific  O- 
pression  of  the  course  of  thought,  the  latter  of  the 
course  of  action.  DnxELMKXsn.

Sbvere  Winters. — It  may  interest  some  of 
your  readers  to  mention  that,  about  the  Christmas 
of  1645,  the  cold  was  so  int^'nse  that  three  men  out 
of  the  forces  of  Colonels  Birch  and  Morgmn 
perished  in  the  snow,  during  the  niRht  march  which 
led  to  the  surprise  and  capture  of  Hereford  (Lords* 
JoumaUf  Dec.  22) ;  the  river  Wve  being  then  so 
hard  frozen  at  that  plac^*  as  to  admit  of  the  escape 
of  seveml  persons  across  it,  amonpf  whom  was  the

Richard  Harvet's  Allusions  to  the  Drama. 
—In  Richard  Harvey's  Limht  of  Ood^  Lond,, 
l5J>fJ,  there  are  several  allusions  to  contemporary 
literature  which  I  have  never  seen  quoted. 

In  one  of  his  long-winded  sentences  this  VBty 
affected  writer  has  the  following  string  of  com- 
parisons : — 

''  Ab  far  mundcr  as  the  tale«  of  mort  Arthur  and  the 
bookei  of  Moses,  aa  the  iroldon  legend  of  Iron  mints  and 
the  Actes  of  the  Apostles,  as  the  fcenes  of  Davus  and 
the  Ptalmes  of  David,  as  the  writings  of  Martiii  and  the 
works  of  an  honest  man."— P.  55. 

It  is  probable,  I  think,  that  in  Davus  Han'ey 
had  some  particuhur  person  in  view.  Remembering

the  nature  of  the  reference  made,  or  reputed  to 
have  been  made,  by  Greene  to  Shalupeare,  one  is 
almost  tempted  to  believe  that  the  dispamging  epi- 
thet may  have  been  intended  for  him.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  antithetical  point  of  the  compa- 
rison seems  to  require  that  Marlow  should  be 
inferred.  Or  was  it  Lilly,  the  old  antagonist  of 
Gabriel,  a  supposition  which  is  perhara  favoured 
by  the  introduction  of  Martin  as  climax)  In 
another  place  Harvey,  who  seems  to  luive  inherited 
all  the  family  talent  for  scolding,  calls  Martin  "a 
bloody  massacrcr  and  cut-throat  in  jester's  apparel." 
Many  passages  of  the  book  seem  to  be  indirectly 
levelled  at  Marlow  and  his  school.  Writing  of 
the  irreligious  tendency  of  the  ix)pular  literature 
and  stage,  Har^'ey  says  : — 

''The  heathen  writers  thcmseWes  never  set  any  men 
but  the  vayuRst  and  raadde8t  of  all  the  rest  againit  their 
Priestes,  which  men  either  liTed  in  reproach  or  came  to 
shame,  or  for  the  time  were  generally  reputed  reproach- 
full  and  shamefull  men,  as  may  appear  in  their  gigan- 
toraachies  and  theomachies,  commonly  made  oven  of 
poets,  in  reverence  of  religion,  the  causes  of  greatest 
mischiefs  and  eorowcs.  t  >  which  end  and  purpose  all 
the  most  ancient  tragedies  hare  been  written  even  every 
one  of  them,  as  R.  Harceii  hath  proved  in  his  Logical 
and  Enthymematicall  Analysis  dedicated  to  the  valiant 
and  vertumis  nolle  Lord,  the  JSarle  of  JSssex.^'—F.  147. 
The  italics  are  Uarrcy's. 

This  refers,  I  suppose,  to  his  Ephnneron,  pub- 
lished in  1 583.  Some  one  who  is  fortunate  enough 
to  have  access  to  this  very  rare  book  should  care- 
fully examine  it  for  any  incidental  allusions  to  our 
early  drama. 

Nashe  calls  Harvey  a  "  theologicall  gimpanado," 
and  his  "sheepish  discourse"  of  the  I^mbc  of 
Oady  "a  dish  of  divinitie  brcwesse  which  the  dogs 
would  not  eato"  (Apohgie  of  Pierre  FennihsmCy 
Lond.,  1593).  The  same  writer  tells  us  that  "  Kit 
Marloe  wjis  wont  to  say  that  Jlichard  Harvey  was 
an  asse,  good  for  nothing  but  to  preach  of  the  Iron 
A^e."'  Most  of  Harvey's  readers  will  be  of  the 
same  opinion.  C.  Elliot  Browne. 

Christian  Names  :  Albert.— It  is  a  common 
opinion  that  this  name  was  not  used  in  England 
before  the  marriage  of  the  Queen  with  her  late 
consort.  It  is  not  so,  however.  In  (Dring's)  Cata- 
logue of  the  Lordiy  Knighti^,  and  GenUemen  that 
have  Compounded  for  their  Entate^y  8vo.,  1655, 
p.  51,  occurs  the  name  of  Albert  Hodsham,  a  recu- 
sant. His  fine  was  53/.  6«.  ^d.  Halbert  was  in 
Scotland  in  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries 
by  no  means  an  uncommon  Christian  name.

The  Aspen  in  Ulster.— It  is  remarkable  how 
few  nurserymen  in  Ireland  know  the  right  names 
of  the  trees  and  shnibs  which  they  cultivate  and 
sell.  This  is  especially  the  case  with  the  different 
species  of  poplars.  The  aspen  in  particular,  though 
far  from  uncommon,  is  quite   unknown  by  that 


name,  so  far  as  I  have  observed,  in  Ulster.  At 
last  one  man  puzzled  me  by  speaking  of  4  *'  qnig- 
genespy,"  by  which  I  found  that  he  meant  "qoiudiig 
aspen.**  S.  T.  P. 

Inscriptions  on  Clock  Faces. — It  has  occuired 
to  me  that,  following  the  "  Inscriptions  on  Bells,* 
some  on  clock  faces  would  be  found  both  coriou 
and  interesting  to  the  readers  of  *'  N.  Si  Q."  I 
append,  as  a  beginning,  the  following  that  h&T? 
come  under  my  notice : — 

"  I  servo  thee  here  with  all  my  might ; 
I  tell  the  hour  both  day  and  mght. 
If  thou  wilt  example  take  by  me. 
Serve  tby  God  as  I  serve  thee." 
"  Here  my  master  bids  me  stand 
And  mark  the  time  Vritli  faithful  hand. 
What  ill  hU  will  is  my  delight. 
To  serve  him  well  by  day  and  night. 
Master,  be  wise,  and  learn  of  me 
To  serve  thy  God  as  I  serve  thee."

wrote  about  it  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VIIL,  before 
Stubbes  denounced  it  so  vehemently  in  Queen 
Elizabeth^s  time  : —

Paoano,  or  Pagana,  of  Naples.— Can  any  of 
your  readers,  learned  in  the  genealugia  of  the  two 
Sicilicii,  inform  nic  whether  there  be  living  de- 
Hcendants  of  this  ancient  Neapolitan  family? 
Part  of  its  history,  down  to  the  middle  of  the 
seventeenth  century,  is  given  by  »Signor  FOiberto

archives  of  the  church  of  8.  Giovanni  di  Sala 
sopra  Forenza  in  Basilicata,  it  appears  that  the 
founder  of  this  family  (to  which  belonged  the 
famous  Hugo  de  P:iganu.s,  the  founder  of  the  Order 
of  the  KnightH  Templars)  was  a  member  of  the 
house  of  PstganuB  de  S>ancto  Karilefo,  and  was  a 
companion  of  Tancred  the  Norman,  in  his  Sicilian 
expedition  in  the  eleventh  century.  By  the  Adti.^ 
I'oniijicvm  Vamtfrnamienttum  we  learn  that  the 
family  of  Pagamia  was  in  existence  at  St.  Carilef 
(the  modern  i^i.  Calais,  department  of  Sarthe,  on 
the  river  Anille)  so  early  as  the  second  century  of 
the  Christian  era,  when  tbe  representative  of  that 
house  gave  to  St.  Turribiua,  the  second  Bishop  of

THE  O'NEILLS  OF  FRANCE  AND  SPAlJi. 
(5«J»  S.  ui.  407  ;  iv.  130.) 

AccoTflinff  to  Petrus  (5"»  S,  iv.  130),  (k» 
O'Neills  of  Frainoe  "  would  be  the  lineal  letritimiftB 
posterity  of  Hu|zh  the  Great,  the  hist  O'Neill, 
through  Terence,  hia  son,  and  could  alone  preteni 
to  the  title  of  Prince,  Connt  (or  Earl)  of  Tyrone*^ 
whilst  those  of  Spain  "  would  represent  the  bninrfc 
of  Claudeboy  ('Clan'  Aodh  Buidhc'),  and  the 
proofs  of  both  assertions  have  been  thoroughlj 
authenticated.^ 

Ah  to  what  concernB  the  O'Neills  of  Portmgtd  T 
shall  c:Lrefully  abstain  from  any  discussion.  No 
document  have  I  seen  establlshinjr  whether  or  aot 
they  belons^ed  to  the  yoiinger  and  collateml  braack 
of  the  royal  and  sovereign  house  of  O'Neill. 

My  intention  is  only  to  occupy  myself  with  that 
of  8  pain, 

I  am  as  well  acquainted  as  Petrus  could  preteM. 
to  be  himself  with  the  documents  on  which  aodi 
pretensions  are  based.     They  consist  of — 

1.  A  copy  of  tlie  Rifil  Dt*paclw  dt.  Hidatguia^ 
Blawnfs^  relating  the  letters  of  nobility  incorporit- 
injT  into  the  ninks  of  the  Spaninh  iwhlc&ie  <tt 
hufiilfjnia  these  members  of  the  O'Neill  family, 
and  duly  eertilled  by  Don  Antonio  Ru^la  y 
Busueta,'then  king-At-arms  of  her  Majesty  I>ouft 
laabella  II. 

2.  A  fjenealogical  document  drawn  out  in  17311 
by  Hn^di  MacMahon,  Archbishop  of  Arraa^^ 
(Gatholic)»  in  favour  of  Phelim  or  Felix  O'N^. 
born  in  Ulster,  1720,  who  entered  into  the  SpaniA 
service  in  1730,  where  he  died  Captain-General  of 
Arragon,  a  jxi^l  of  elevated  military  rank  ;  and 

3.  A  pane^ric  in  Spanish  of  the  above-nifia- 
tioned  Don  Felix,  printed  ut  Madrid,  1796. 

The  first  of  these  documents  regards  exclusifeb' 
John  (Shane)  O'Neill,  third  son  of  Hugh  O'NeOt 
Earl  of  Tyrone,  who  was  held  in  consider»hfe 
favour  at  the  Court  of  Spain.  Thia  aJfirmatioa 
responds  to  the  question  put  forward  by  the  autbar 
of  the  article  in  these  terms,  "  WTio  was  this  John?* 
The  epoch  at  which  the  letters  of  **  HididguLi  y 
Blasoncs "  had  been  confirmed  clearly  poinU  o«L 
that  there  could  not  be  question  of  any  other  fper- 
aonage,  I  take  the  liberty  ahio  of  remindiiiK 
Petrds  that  all  the  sons  of  Hu>ih  the  Great  dad 
not  die  in  Kome.  Hugh,  the  eldest,  Rurnaniei 
"  the  Biiron,"  did  so  in  l(KH?,  and  was  buried,  by 
order  of  his  Holiness  Pope  Paul  V,,  in  the  cbu«dk 
of  S.  Pietro  in  Montorio,  on  the  Mount  Janin>ila«^ 
as  is  generally  known. 

As  to  the  second  document,  which  tmfiea  fto 
pedigree  of  Don  Felix,  it  is  perhaps  well  to  tcmwi' 
her  that  the  illustrious  Hu^h  MacMahon  mi|r^

ority ;  but  it  by  no  means  follows  that  this  vener- 
able prelate  was  a  akilful  henild,  or,  even  wbat 
is  more  essential,  a  corrtct  genealogist.  The 
Archbishop  of  Anrui^'h  effectively  mnkes  out  the 
said  Don  Felix  aa  deaccnding  from  Terence  (Tur- 
logh),  brother,  on  both  father's  and  mothers  side^ 
of  John,  the  son  of  Hugh,  whom  he  qualifies  as 
**most  serene  Prince  of  Ulster,  Earl  of  Tyrone, 
Vi^cfumt  Mountjoy,  Biuon  of  Fews,  DuncuDnon, 
and  Strabanc,  Sovereifrn  L«:*rd  of  the  two  Princi- 
palities of  Upper  and  Lower  Clandeboy." 

In  the  first  place,  I  should  be  anxious  to  know 
▼here  his  Gni^e  Arehbiohop  JLicMahon  could 
have  discovered  thiit  John  waa  '*  Viscount  Mount- 
joy,  Earnn  of  Few*,  and  Sovereign  Lord  of  Upper 
and  Lower  Clnadeboy."  There  exists,  in  this  some- 
what whimsical  and  contradictory  profusion  of 
titles  uiwn  the  sjune  head,  an  historical  and  genea- 
logical chaos  manifest  to  the  most  inex|)enenced 
student  of  Iri^h  hintory,  or  any  odc  who  could  have 
paid  the  least  attention  toour  national!  annal«,orwho 
could  have  been  in  the  Blijjjhteat  degree  acquainted 
with  the  several  brauche«  forming  part  of  the 
illustrious  bouse  of  O'NeilL  And,  finally,  I  shall 
nsk,  where  did  his  Gmce  find  out  that  Terence 
was  brother,  by  both  paternal  and  raateroril 
descent,  of  John  ? 

Histoiy  teaches,  and  the  Aunah  of  the  Fotn- 
MoiUri  confirms  it,  that  Hu^'h  the  Great  had  only 
four  lej^Ttimato  i^onis,  to  wit,  Hugh  the  Baron, 
everywliere  desiffnated  as  "primogenituis,"  or  tJie 
eldest,  Henry,  John,  and  Brian.  The  same  annalK* 
inform  us  that,  in  the  year  l{it»0,Turlot|h  (Brasikigh) 
and  Conn,  sons  of  Hu;:;h,  commanded  troops  in  his 
army.  Now,  at  the  same  time,  Brian,  the  youngest 
of  the  lawful  male  issue  of  the  Prince  of  Tyrone, 
was  only  two  years  old,  and  Hugh,  his  eldest 
brother,  fifteen  yeai-s  of  nge.  Wherefore  it  stands 
to  reason  that  Turlogh,  uumamed  Brasilaj^h,  uud 
Conn,  of  sufficient  age  to  hiive  commands  in  the 
army,  must  necessarily  have  been  illegitimate. 
'  If  it  is  to  Turlojjjh  Brasiknrh  that  the  archbishop 
attachea  the  O'Neills  of  Sptiin,  how  am  he  certify 
that  he  w^'Ls  brother  frcjni  lx>th  fiither'a  and 
mother's  side,  when  it  was  shown  that  Jolin  was 
legitimate  and  Turlogh  illegitimate  f  How  attri- 
bute to  Turlonh,  a  natural  son,  titles  belonging 
solely  to  the  lawful  issue  of  Huj^h  ? 

There  exists,  therefore,  in  the  certificate  of  his 
Gmce,  an  evident  error.  This  could  easily  have 
been  avoided  did  he  but  attach  Don  Felix  to  his 
true  origin  ;  that  is  to  Bay,  in  giving  him  for 
ancestor  Art  (Arthur),  second  son  of  Turlogh,  son 
of  Henr}%  This  Henry,  of  the  bmnch  of  Fews, 
was  the  second  husband  of  the  motlior  of  Hugh 
(Judith  Maguire,  of  the  Princes  of  Fermanagh), 
and  widow  of  Ferdorcha,  his  father.     Hence  it 


foOows    that   Turlogh    (Terence)    waa    only    th<»     J 
ukrinc  brother  of  Hugh  the  Great,  and  de^^if n-U 
not  from  him,  but  from  his  relative,  Henry  OX'  il 
of  Fews, 

This  opinion  is  corroborated  by  the  Bipertorii 
Eohdorum  Canc^llan^  Ardmachanof^p.  1G4C>, 
by  the   Annah  of  the  Four    MtutirSf    p,    II 
col.  2,  Owen  Cnnnelhui. 

A  few  wonls  now  upon  the  O'Neills  of  Franc 
quoted  in  the  title,  but  without  being  otherwi 
mentioned  in  the  body  of  the  article  itself. 

This  hmnch  has  very  serious  grounds  to 
itH  deiJcent  from  Hngh,  Earl  of  Tyrone.     Tl 
title-deeds,  which  I  have  seen,  and  of  whicli  1 
fully  attest  the  importance,  have  been  carefully  exa- 
mined,  controlled,  and  certified  in  1784  by  the 
body  of  officers  (of  whom  one  was  a  member  of  ray 
own  family)  of   the  regiments  of  Walsh  and  of 
Dillon,   in   the   French   sen'ice.      Their  armorial 
bearings  are  exactly  identical  with  those  borne  by 
Hugh  O'NcOl.     Not  ho  with   the  Spanish  and 
CJandeboy  bninchea. 

In  conclusion  to  this  note,  allow  me  to  add  oi 
simple  obsen'ation  on  the  subject  of  Celtic-Irii 
families  :  What  does  it  i-eally  Fjignify  whether  ' 
descend  from  Pat  rick,  Hugh,  or  John  / 

The  essential  point  for  each  and  every  one 
them  is  to  establish  that  all  the  members  are 
scions  of  the  true,  recogni/.cd,  and  tiuthentic  st 
and  not  to  be  confounded  amongst  the  multitn* 
whether  by  caprice,  accident,  choice,  or  othefwi 
bearing  the  common  name  of  the  ckn. 

This,  with  respect  to  the  dift'erent  branches 
France,   Spoin,   and  Portugal,  as  also    with 
Chich esters,  now  O'Neill  in  the  female  line,  cam

My  thesi«  w,  however,  still  the  same — that  man 
is  <aij  the  fonniil  cause  of  variations  in  language  : 
tbeidW  he  cannot,  theoretically  speaking,  be 
s  the  tnie  cause  of  a  cbmj^e,  any  more 
a  can  be  said  to  cause  the  deviation  of 
''^''  himself.  For,  on  a  careful  con- 
<»bvious  that  the  tree's  principle  of 
licient  eatise  of  the  divergence,  the 
1  lie  formal  cause  of  it, 
rcfoTt*,  for  the  objective^  indepen- 
dent existence  of  language,  on  which  man  leavea 
hta  impress  without  altering  the  materials  with 
'^^  supplied.    And  it  ia  just  because  no 

i  can  effect  a  change,  that  language  may 

be  s^d  to  Lave  a  apontaneous  growth,  |;overned 
by  fi.xed  laws  juat  as  much  as  any  other  of  nature's 
pTOcesa^ii.  How  else  would  Makhochetr  explain 
the  tict  that  Grimm's  law  is  so  generally  tnie  ? 

rurding  the  question  siibjectively,  masses 

^1  ^  sway  language^  but  only  so  far  as  the 

^  of  any  change  may  be  spoken  of  as 


sun  \' 


the  origin  of  it.  And  yet  they  can  only  do  this 
when  they  act  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  lan- 
guage. For  let  Makhoctieir  attempt  to  reintro- 
duce an  obsolete  inflection,  let  him  gather  round 
him  others  for  the  same  pnrpoiie,  and  still  failure 
must  enaue.  On  the  other  hjind,  an  MAKRocuKiu 
remarks,  great  men  havii  changed  the  meaning  of 
words,  or  even  obtained  the  rejection  of  an  inflec- 
tion, but  only  when  they  are  followed  by  many 
others,  and  after  a  long  lapse  of  time. 

To  recapitulate,  in  order  to  secure  any  change 
whatsoever  in  language,  it  must — 1.  Be  sanctioned 
by  a  large  tiuniber  of  competent  authorities  ;  2. 
Be  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  language. 

If  wo  bring  Lord  Byron*«  attempt  before  this 
tribunal,  I  think  that  it  faiLi  in  the  first  requirement 
entirely,  although  it  does  not  violate  the  second. 

Dr.  Gatty  alludes  to  the  misuse  of  will  and 
shall,  and  I  certainl}'  think  that  this  ia  a  case  in 
hand.  Fixiui  Sluikfipeare  downwards  these  words 
have  received  continual  maltreatment,  and  yet  I 
venture  to  say  that  the  beautiful  distinction  in 
meaning  between  the  two  ia  clearer  than  ever. 

Lord  BjTon  was  not  much  given  to  the  use  of 
the  file,  and  I  should  think  that  he  made  a  slip 
when  he  used  hy  intransitively,  W,  H.

May  12,  1559,  its  first  occupant  having  been  Fr.

Watch  Seals  (5"*  S.  iv.  450.)— I  am  afraid 
that  devices  on  watch  seals  are  but  broken  reeds 
on  which  to  lean  as  authorities  for  henddic  pre- 
tensions, and  that  "  a  dove  volant,  with  an  olive 
brancli  in  its  mouth,"  or  any  other  bird,  e.<*peci:illy 
if  not  berddiaiUy  treated,  can  in  itself  have  no 
value  in  thia  way,  though  doubtless  it  may  suggest 
interciitinj!  inquiry.  J.  T.  F.

The  devices  upon  Mr.  Bkale's  seala  are  amongst 
the  nio^st  common  of  the  time  when  wax  had  not 
been  superseded  by  the  use  of  adhesive  envelopes. 
Probability  points,  therefore,  to  their  being  neither 
heraldic  nor  lOMonic,  but  merely  seals  which  have 
^eeit  pttivhased  re&dy  engraved.     I  am  informed 


that  »t  was  very  general  to  buy  seak  with  tlgurw 
already  upon  them,  and,  as  any  collector  can  tell, 
cornucopiiP,  doves  volant,  forget-me-nots,  and  such 
like  abound.  There  is»  however^  one  wny  of  det«r^| 
mininjS  whether  the  devices  are  or  are  not  heraldic,,! 
which  is  by  the  ab&ence  or  presence  of  the  wreath^ 
which  accompaniea  a  crest.  Of  course  there  an\ 
plenty  of  instances  where  the  engraver  has  omitt 
the  wreath,  but  the  above  is  a  pretty  safe  rule  la|

I  can  yfcate  that  Bishop  Bateraan  of  Korwich  impaled 
Iiis  own  anus  with  those  of  his  see  at  a  very  mncli 
earlier  date  than  that  at  which  he  supi>oses  the

'*WiLiB  BEGUILE"  {&^  S.  iv.  144.)— Ifl  add 
tion  to  the  proof  I  formerly  gave  of  this  bebg^l 
proverbial  phrase,  used  by  Dr.  John  Harvey  ixoal 
Njiah,  and  therefore  not  referring  to  the  later  pl*fj 
of  Wily  Jkguikd  (from  which  Shakspeare  wit*] 
once  supposed  to  have  pilfered),  I  now  ;idd 
quotation  from  R.  Bernard's  Terence  in  Englit 
p.  Ill,  ed.  1G07,  of  which  the  first  edition  was 
1698  :— 

"  FntMratur  ipsftU*i,  he  deceiaes  Wiraaelfe,  he  pkjet

Miss  Clftrke,  who  was  the  daughter  of  Dr,  Henry 
Clarke ;  she  used  to  visit  one  of  my  friends.  I 
veil  remember  her  talking  about  the  wonderful 
at4ainmeDt>>  of  her  father  ;  amongst  other  things 
she  said  he  knew  no  lesR  than  twenty  langiiages, 
Bud  often  allowed  himself  only  two  hours'  sleep 
«0kch  night  for  months  together.  Dr.  Clarke  must 
lUkTe  died  very  poor,  for  she  hsid  to  keep  a  day- 
school  for  her  maintenance.  I  have  some  recollec-

Giiai:t»  (5»*  8.  iv.  405,  45C.)— I  became  ac- 
{^uaiiiled  with  this  word  at  Whitby,  some  years 
Mnor,  fuid,  doubting  whether  it  could  be  cor- 
ncUy  dencTibed  as  "  a  common  name  for  a  narrow 
ftieti,"  1  applied  to  Mr.  RobinBon,  of  Whitby— by 
tAi  the  hat  anthority  for  the  meaning  of  words 
tiled  r  ice — and  he  informs  me  that  it  is 

**  A  Cu  r  *np,  opening  at  the  aide  of  a  long 

V  Bsaifi  J^U«^&,  and  going  down  to  the  sea  or  har- 


bour beach.'*    The  word  is  only  applied  to  those 

rBsoges  which  lead  to  the  harbour  ;  and,  as  Cir  as 
can  discover,  it  is  used  in  no  other  place  in 
England.  But  in  India  it  is  applied  in  a  &i»uhtr 
manner  to  the  approachea  to  the  Ganges. 

As  Whitby  has  long  been  famed  for  its  sciunen 
(of  whom  Captain  Cook  was  one),  I  at  first  thought ' 
that  the  word  might  have  been  introduced  from 
India  ;  and  possibly  that  may  have  been  the  case. 
But  aa  the  word  has  long  been  used  at  Whitby,  I 
doubted  whether  that  was  so  ;    and  as  Aiabi 
words  are   used  in  India,  and  **  there  arc  man] 
Arabic  words  in  EngliBh'^  {Quart,  .Ret*.,  Oct.,  1&7J 
p.  4.'i2),  I  searched  Golius's  Arab.  Xcr.,  and  thei 
I  found  an  Anibic  word,  the  English  pronunciation 
of  which  may  be  "ghaut"  or  "gaut,"  and  the 
meaning  of  which  may  be  a  low  or  hollow  placet 
into  which  a  person  may  descend  out  of  sight ;  ana*i 
as  every  one   descending  a  ^haut  to   a   harbour 
would  go  down  out  of  the  sight  of  those  above,  it 
struck  me  that  this  might  cause  the  n.ame  to  be 
given  to  such  places.    Since  this  occurred  to  me,  I 
have  discovered  that  the  word  is  prop?rly  appli- 
cable to  the  passes  which  lead  from  the  summita 
of  the  mountains   in   India  down   to  the  plains 
beneath.     This  application  of  the  word  is  quite 
consistent  with   the  supposition  that  it  may  be 
derived  from  the  Arabic  word. 

GoU,  with  its  various  spellings  of  goyit,  goiU^  &&, 
is  weJl  known  ;  it  means  a  ditch,  sluice,  gutter,  op , 
channel,  made  for  the  purpos«j  of  conveying  water  1 
silong  it,  and  for  no  other  purpose  (Jacob,  L,  IK; 
Kelham,  JVorni.  D. ;  Ash,  McL,  &c.).  W.  (J.  cpiite 
correctly  gives  one  instmce  of  its  application  to 
**  the  channel  which  takes  the  water  from  the  mdl- 
wheel  back  to  the  main  stream."  It  is  commonly 
found  among  the  general  words  in  conveyances  of  j 
water-mills,  in  company  with  words  of  similar 
meaning  ;  such  as  m-ce  or  leat^  "  a  trench  for  con* 
veying  water  to  or  from  a  mill"  (Bailey,  Diet), 
InDngdale's  Imbunhing^  p.  243,  cited  by  Halli- 
well,  **  two  new  gotes  for  drayning  the  waters  out 
of  South  Holand  and  the  fens  "  are  mentioned. 
The  clear  distinction  between  ijoU  and  ghaut  is, 
that  got€  is  always  used  to  denote  some  i^assage  for 
water,  and  never  a  passage  for  persons  ;  and  fjhant 
is  always  used  to  denote  a  p;wsage  for  jiersons,  and 
never  a  passage  for  water.  It  c4innot,  therefore,  be 
that  gkaut  is  another  form  of  goU.         C.  8.  G. 

Compare  "GowtB,"a  term  applied  at  Saltfleetby 
in  Lincolnshire  to  a  set  of  trap^doors,  raiseii  by, 
chains  on  rollers,  for  letting  the  water  out  of  the* 
higher  level  in  a  large  drain  into  a  lower  ;  the 
name  of  a  church  in  Lincoln,  near  the  river — "*  St. 
Peter's  at  Gowts "  ;  and  **  St.  Cuthbert'a  Gut,"  a

About  half  a  mile  from  Cockermouth,  and  con- 
tiguous to  Papeastle,  is  sltuatfjd  a  large  mill,  koown 
na  the  Goat  Mill.  This'waa,  no  doubt,  the  baro- 
ninl  mill  when  Piparcfa  Castle,  of  which  the  present 
name  of  tlio  villa<;e  is  a  corruptioEj  existed  on  the 
siteof  the  ancient  Roman  fortress.  Pipards  *.*iistle 
was  dbniivntlcd  and  aV>;mdoned  in  favour  of  Cocker- 
mouth  Castle  not  later  than  the  fourteenth  century, 
This  gives  considerable  antiquity  to  the  mill,  but 
other  circumstances  lead  nie  to  believe  that  it  in  ay 
be  contemporary  with  tlie  Roman  occupation.

Possibly  EnonAcUM  may  not  havo  frot  at  the 
origin  of  the  word  tjhmd  in  his  quotation  from 
Young.  The  woni  ghat  means,  in  Hindi'u^tilni,  a 
piece  of  water  enclosed  and  built  round.  Thu.^  we 
should  say  in  India  '' Dhobee-Ghaut,"  literally 
th€  WiUihcrman's  washing- place.  I  have  seen  a 
place  thua  named,  and  the  word  I  think  has  a 
wider  acceptation.  In  Youngs  quotation  I  see 
the  word  tjote  is  used  in  the  sense  of  an  enclosure 
of,  or  defence  againat,  water  ;  possibly,  therefore, 
the  root  may  be  the  .^ame.  Or  the  natna  may  have 
been  got  accidentally  hiter,  and  per^'erted  in  its 
application  to  a  utreet.  Sonic  time  agO;^  in  Devon- 
smre,  I  heard  a  fiirmcr  use  the  word  "  catamanm  " 
contemptuously  of  something  very  rickety  and 
unsafe,  and  found  out  afterwards  that  he  hacl  used 
the  name  of  the  most  rickety  and  perilous  of  boata,

those  historic  energies  and  events  of  which  a  rich  anti- 
qaity  is  the  vtstigc.  Occupying  the  lower  courses  of  the 
larg'  ht  river  system  and  river  valley  in  Great  Britain, 
she  has  alviaya  commanded^  whether  for  war  or  com- 
merce, the  ports  and  maritim<*  passes  of  the  west. 
Occupying,  too,  the  considerable  heights  that  furtify  the 
opposite  sides  of  this  river  valley,  she  commands  what  is 
perhaps  at  once  both  nhysically  and  hi»toiical!y  tlj«  chief 
border  land  of  the  island— a  border  laud  wbicb^  having 
thfl  WcNh  mountain  fastnesses  on  the  one  side,  and  the 
Midland  hills  on  the  other,  has  fomird  a  natural  battle 
ground  for  all  the  competing  races  jwad  most  of  the  con- 
teuding  parties  in  the  development  of  our  country."

edit,,  London,  17C8)  :— 

"Jesmi  College  in  Oicford  has  the  nomination  of  tlie 
parson  [of  Cheltenham]  from  aiuonj^st  their  fellows;  and 
the  Earl  of  Gainabonjugh  baa  the  approbttion  of  him. 
The  p&raon  is  only  a  fltipendiary  ;  and  by  the  a^reemertt 
which  Sir  Baptist  Hicks  (ancestor  of  the  same  E.arl) 
ma*le  with  the  Collepe.  who  derive  iht-ir  title  under  him, 
ho  cannot  continue  longer  than  six  years;  and  thcliko 
agreement  ia  made  fur  the  parish  of  Churieton  Kirji^j." 

Tbe  patronage  of  the  parish  of  Cheltenham  ha-s 
passed  into  other  handa,  but  that  of  Charlton 
Ktnga  18  fetill' vested  in  the  principal  and  fellows 
of  ,7(01.115  College,  Oxford.  I  shall  be  glad  to  know 
more  res|jecting  the  aforesaid  limitation,  which  I 
do  not  at  pre^ient  understand,  the  late  Incumbent 
of  Charlton  Kings  having  held  the  post  for  up- 
wards of  forty  years.  Abhba. 


THE  ETYMOLOGY  OF  "HUMBUG." 
In  penising  the  pnges  of  Afanii  and  Manners  at 
iht  Cinirt  r>/i'7r>ri?n re— reviving,  in  a  most  agreeablt? 
manner,  the  pleasant  memories  derivtrl  from  innu- 
mentble  standard  works  of  that  very  pleasant,  and, 
perlmps,  most,  interesting  of  all  the  centuries,  the 
eighteenth— it  was,  it  must  be  tonfesscd,  rather 
surprising  to  find  the  word  "humbugging"  oc- 
curring at  so  <?nr]y  a  period  m  1760,  in  one  of  the 
letters  from  Mann  to  Walpole.  Referring  to 
Tri&trajn  Shnrnhj^  then  in  course  of  publication, 
Mann  writes  (vol*  ii.  p.  71):— 

'*  You  will  laugh  at  nie,  I  suppose,  when  I  soy  that 
I  don't  understand  it.  It  was  prubnbly  the  intention  of 
the  author  that  nobody  sfionld.  It  seems  to  me  hum- 
bugging,  if  I  have  a  ri^jht  notion  of  aa  art  of  talking 
and  writini^  that  lio-s  been  invented  since  I  left  Enghind. 
It  diverted  m**^  briwever,  eiti  eniely  ;  and  I  bog  to  huve, 
as  soon  as  possible,  the  two  other  volumes,  which  I  see 
ndvertbed  io  the  papers  for  next  Chriatmas," 

I  once  saw  a  statement  in  which  the  origin  of 
the  word  "humbug"  was  attempted  to  be  tie- 
counted  for.  Various  origins  were  assigned  to  it  ; 
but  it  seemed  to  be  tiiken  for  grunted  that  the 
word  was  the  coinage  of  thi&  century.  Among 
these  origins  it  was  stated  that,  when  Britain  wa;* 
declared  by  Napoleon  L  to  be  in  a  state  of  blockade, 
Hamburg  became,  in  consequence,  a  citj'  of  the 
greatest  impartance  ;  and  one  of  the  result's  was 
that  a  great  deal  of  false  news  can^e  from  Ham- 
burg for  the  purpose  of  atfecting  the  stock  and 
cotanaercial   maikatSj   and  that  these  and   such

[S**  S,  V.  JAir. 


like  fftlae  reports  came  to  be  called  "  Hamburg," 
which  was  softened  into  **"  humbug";  uod  heuce, 
it  was  aaid,  the  origin  of  the  term.  TJie  preceding 
extract  puta  nn  end  to  any  such  idea. 

The  word  "humbug"  is  not  given  in  the  sixth 
edition  of  Dr.  Johnson's  Didionary,  published  in 
1785,  nor,  it  ig  believed,  in  the  prior  editions  ;  nor 
in  Ktchf»rdson's  Jjictionnnj,  published  in  1S4<5  ; 
nor  in  The  Student's  English  Dktionary,  by  OgU- 
vie,  published  in  186G  ;  but  it  occurs  in  Noah 
Webster's  Dictionary ^  published  in  or  about  1833, 
as  follows :  "Humbug,  an  imposition  [a  low 
word]." 

It  eeemsj  howcTer,  to  be  perfectly  evident  that 
Mann  used  the  word  as  one  of  settled  use  und 
meaning  when  he  wrote  in  1760,  I  am  not  aware 
if  any  prior  instance  of  its  use  can  be  found.  It 
i»  more  than  probable  that  it  had  been  one  of 
those  words  whieh  have  floated  about  in  popular 
parlance  for  many  years,  perhaps  for  many  ages, 
tefore  being  reilueed  to  writing,  I  woiJil  now 
fiuhmit  that  "  humbug  "  13  very  closely  rehited  to 
the  Latin  word  "ambage"  (gr  hard),  both  in  sound 
and  in  meaning,  rtnd  consequently  in  ongin.  As 
showing  the  exact  resemblance  in  meaning  between 
these  two  wonln,  allow  me  to  extract  from  Little- 
ton's Latin  Diciionai-y  {4X\i  edition,  1703)  the 
meanings  of  *'«mbage."    Tiiese  are  :^ 

'*  A  long  circumstance  of  words,  a  t^dioug  etory  to  no 
parptiae,  &  tnio  of  Robin  Hood;  a  cotripaas  or  f«'tcii 
ivbout ;  prettmblca.  impertineticies,  intricate  pasetapes. 
tumiD^i  and  windings;  beaming  about  thebaflUj  dark, 
tnysfcenooi  sayinj^i." 

Meanings  more  thoroughly  descriptive  of  "  hum- 
bug '■  than  these  cannot  be  conceived,  with  one 
exception,  that  of  "a  tale  of  Robin  Hood'';  the 
value  of "  tales  of  Robin  Hood  "  having  risen  very 
greatly  in  the  market  of  literature  since  the  year 
1703.  But  all  the  other  meaning*  seem  mast 
fully  to  justify  the  couckision  that  *'ambngc  "  and 
"humbug"  are  very  slightly  differing  modifica- 
tions of  the  same  word^  unlesa  proof  of  a  very 
clear  anil  most  positive  nature  can  be  adduced  to 
show  the  contrary.  Hewry  Kiluouh.

Sit,EN*T  H.^A  funny  story  was  told  nie  of  a 
chimney-sweep  who  had  to  letter  sotne  flues  in  a 
lat^c  hot^sc,  in  order  tbiit  they  iniijht  be  easily 
d{»tifj^uii«hed  froui  each  other.  When  bis  work 
W.I**  fjnne,  he  called  hi-*  uiaat^T  and  said,  '*  Now, 
sir,  I've  put  1>  for  the  dmintr-room,  N  for  tho 
nursery,  and  A  for  the  'all/'  But  this  mim  was 
only  consistent  in  hut  error.  He  never  pronounced 
his  /**«,  uad  so  be  rcfraincii  from  writing  them.

Tbi'V  atknowlcdj,'!'  A  in  the  orthogKiphy  of  several 
words,  whilst  tliey  i;_'nore  it  in  their  pronuneiatioa. 
[  have  never  anywhere  seen  n  satisfactory  expLi* 
nation  of  this  phenomenon  ;  but  perbups  the  fol- 
lowing solution  may  bi«  sufficient.  It  juny  be  laid 
down  as  a  Kencnd  rule  that,  whiUt  j^uttunvla  aljound 
in  Northern  dialects,  they  wither  away  and  vanish 
in  the  South  :  and  therefore  it  is,  r'  priori,  probable 
that  if  a  won!  were  «-oinod  in  Northern  regions, 
and  imi>orted  into  some  Southern  ton^^ue,  it  would 
lose  aliooAt  entirely  any  pitturals  tliat  it  mights 
possess.  It  would,  indeed,  be  very  interesting  if 
some  who  have  more  time  and  ability  than  myself 
would  discover  what  proportion  of  words  in  Eng- 
lish with  initial  h  silent  come  orvjinaUif  from 
Northern  languaj^'es ;  because  if  this  be  not  a  satis- 
factory answer  to  my  ijuestion,  I  do  not  vqq  what 
reply  can  be  piven.  I  know  that  in  Enjfland,  at 
any  rate,  the  aspirate  is  recogni/.eti  incre:iaingly  u4 
one  proceeds  north  ;  and  I  should  think  we  might 
argue  from  our  own  country  to  Europe  as  a  whole,

Bebr,  the  eervitia  of  former  days,  is  no  longer

brews  her  own  beer  now  as  in  the  dfiys  of  Hero-

"Coming  through  tiik  rtie,"— Tn  both  the

Burns,  there  is  a  note  preceding  the  siony  "Comiog

is  not  an  original  work  of  the  poet,  but  an  amended 
version  of  an  old  song.  I  hnve  ulso  hejird  it  said,

believe  the  report  to  be  true,  that  by  *'  rj^e  "  is

Old  Esgravino  of  Bauson  or  Sedberoh. — A 
friemJ  of  mine  showed  me  recently  a  large  mezzo- 
tint engraving  of  this  celebrity,  who  was,  I  believe, 
an  eminent  schoolmaster  and  matbematician  at 
the  end  of  the  hst  and  at  the  beginning  of  the 
present  centurj',  at  Sedberghj  in  Yorkshire.  The 
enfrmvingf,  which  bad  been  purchased  at  ibe  sale 
of  Professor  Sedgfwick,  who  had  been  an  old  pupil 
of  Dawson's  at  Sedbergh,  represents  him  as  stand- 
ing, and  pointing  with  bis  finger  to  an  open  book^, 
over  which  a  grey-headed  man  in  a  sitting  [wsture 
ift  bencJinif,  the  back  of  whose  head  h  depicted. 
The  countenance  of  Dawson  exhibits  both  intellect 
and  benevolence  of  the  highest  order  •„  and  in  the 
chancel  of  the  church  ht  Sedbergh,  of  which  place 
he  w!i.*ii  a  native,  is  a  bust  of  him.  Gunning,  in  his 
liemininfencdg  of  Vainbridge^  speaks  of  Dawson  us 
^"Ttne  whose  chamcter  at  that  time  (/.<;,  ctrca

GRIMM'S  LAW.

The  replies  of  Prof.  Attwell  nnd  Mr.,  Fknton 
to  the  inquiry  of  T.  C.  U.  on  this  subject  are  in 
the  main  correct,  but  they  require  a  little  farther 
explanation  to  make  thera  complete.  The  table 
given  by  Prof.  Attwell — principany  from  Max 
MiiHer— is  unneoessarily  complicated,  Grimm 'g 
original  form^  as  given  in  vol.  i.  p.  584  of  his

It  is  possiMe,  however,  to  siDiplify  the  matter 
still  more.  The  division,  it  will  be  aeen,  is  r  tri- 
partite one,  and  the  chanf^ea  always  follow  in  the

now  corresponds  with  the  tenuis,  be  turned  to  the

the  Old  High  German  at  Ibe  ten^uis,  imd  fto  with 
the  otherc. 

I  have  a  further  word  to  say  in  reference  to  the 
eight  colutans  of  illustrations  given  by  Prof.  Att- 
WELL.  Some  of  the  instances  are  incorrect,  and 
others  are  understated  in  consequence  of  not 
giving  the  enrliegt  forma  of  the  worda. 

In  col  1  kinha  is  given  a»  Simakrit  for  honi. 
It  may  be  tny  miHtortune,  but  I  have  oot  met  with 
the  word.  It  is  not  to  be  found  in  the  dictionaries 
of  Bopp,  Benfej,  Wilson,  or  Williams.  The  uiual 
word  for  horn  is  "sVitigam."  This  column  of  words

Iq  the  guttiinil  permutations  the  Gothic  A  usually 
replaces  the  classical  tennis  k,  flnd  this  is  common 
both  to  the  High  and  Low  German  dialects. 

In  col.  2  Sanskrit  jdti  is  given  as  the  equivalent 
for  Latin  gen-nSj  SiC.     As  it  stands  without  ex- 

f>!anation,  this  would  seem  an  exception  to  Grimm's 
aw,  as  j  is  not  a  guttural  but  a  palatal  Iptter, 
Properly  understood,  however,  it  aHbrds  strong 
confirmation  to  the  principle.  Jtiti  is  a  derivative 
from  j<t«,  to  beget,  which  is  only  a  degraded  form 
of  the  original  Aryan  root  <jan  (see  Fick,  sub  ro<-,). 
This  re«tcr©8  the  illustration  to  its  proper  place  in 
the  series.  Kum,  I  presume,  is  a  mist:ike  for 
Gothic  kuni.  Kind  is  given  as  the  High  German 
equivalent,  which,  unexplained,  would  appear  to 


mditate  against  the  law  it  is  intended  to  illn

thus  taking  their  place  with  the  initial  tenuisi 
required  by  Grimm's  law.     In  the  case  of  SanA)

maly,  which  is  cleared  up  when  we  find  that

the  High  German   equivalent,  the    influence 
Grimm's  law  appears  much  weaker  than  it  rt 
is.     The  mntJero   High  German  bruder  was

preponderates,  c.^.,  of  thirteen  words,  seven  are 
Anibic  and  two  Persian  ;  of  fourteen  words,  nine 
Ariibic  and  two  Persian.  In  recapitulating  the 
distinctive  character  of  these  languages,  this  ac- 
complished  scholar  states  that — 

'*  The  Persian  is  remarkable  for  iweetncM,  the  Arabic 
ia  distintniiahed  for  coploitanesa  and  strenji^th,  and  tbe 
Turkiah  has  an  admirable  gravity  (niiriim  hitbet  j^ravita-

elevation  combined  wiib  a  certain  gracefulness  and 
beauty:  tbe  Paraiao,  therefore,  is  tit  for  jojoua  and, 
amatory  subject*,  the  Arabic  for  poetry  nnd  eloquence, 
and  tbe  Turkieb  for  moral  writings.  '* 

If  you  ask  a  Persian  the  nature  of  his  language, 
be  will  say  it  is  sweet  and  melodious  ;  Arabic^no 
would  add,  u  tht  rooi,  Turkiih  sciaicf,  Pernan

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[S"*  s, 


compare  "  lianileU  brown  "  in  Collins  s  Evening. 
Brown  is  a  prevnlent  twilight  ct>Ioui%  Pinps  and 
oaks  will  <:rovv  together  :  but  Milton's  words  do 
not  imply  Uiiit  they  do.  He  mys  tlint  Silvan 
loves  the  l.irowu  sUudovrd  of  pine  or  oak.  If  1  nm

vaittTy  but,  a  Kni;;^lit  Tem|)l:ir." 

I  have  not  read  ^Ir.  Kcightley  on  Milton,  for  T 
prefer  poetry  to  coranientary  thereon  j  and  I 
think  his  in^renioua  explanation  of"  monumental" 
does  not  befit  Milton's  simplicity,  though  in  cer- 
tain  in^idcrn  ports  the  idea  avollM  be  natural 
enougrh.  Long  duration,  which  is  the  design  of  a 
monument,  is  the  hubit  of  the  oak  ;  hence  monu- 
mental fith  the  tree  perfectly. 

"  Excgi  monumentam  cere  perenniui/* 
says  Horat-e.  It-  seems  unnecessary  to  suggest 
that  Milton  meant  the  holm-oak  (which  doohtlesa 
he  saw  in  Italy),  since  our  English  oak,  a  far 
nobler  tice,  attains  on  immense  age.  I  believe 
Glendower's  oak,  near  Slirewsbury,  stOl  puts  out 
freah  foliage  in  the  spring— a  monument  of  a 
battle  fouj,'ht  near  fire  centuries  ago. 

If  "L'lm  starproof "  be  not  tme  to  nature,  then 
am  I  gro'slj  ignorant  of  trcea,  Mr,  Menzies 
seems  unaware  that  the  elm  h  a  heavy  foliaged 
tree  ;  in  many  a  twilight  stroll  beneath  elms  I 
have  noted  the  accurarj'  of  Milton':*  epithet,  which 
has  a  special  beauty  becauf-o  it  iiuirky  the  hour. 
Indeed,  in  the  radiance  of  a  summer  noon,  I  have 
found  the  elm  sunproof,  There  are  elma  and 
eliiiK.  Botanists  catalogue  above  sixty  varieties  ; 
doubtless  there  is  a  difference  between  the  shadows

Forked  lightning  will  Gtrike  a  tree  as  Mr.  Jlen- 
zie3  describes  ;  but  treejs  growing  on  a  hitjh  level 
are  frequently  stnick  at  the  summit  by  the  hbeet 
lightning,  which  paiises  from  cloud  to  clouds  Mil- 
ton's '*  ssinged  top  "  is  quite  defensible.  To  assert 
that  lightning  never  singea  the  top  of  the  oak  U 
rather  daring.  So  wide  a  negative  is  difficult 
to  prove.  I  have  seen  trees  of  several  kinils 
singed  by  lightning  in  most  capricious  ways.  It 
mny  perhaps  bo  found  that  a  great  poet  sometimes 
observes  more  widely  than  a  professional  forester.

In  the  passage  quoted  from  Mt.  Menziieis's  work 
on  Fornt  Trees,  <S:c.,  it  ia  said,  '"  The  elm  is  one  of 
the  ^  inn  est  foliaged  trees  of  the  forest."  Is  this 
so  ?  It  would  ill  beooine  one  who  waij  born,  and 
has  chielly  lived,  almost  within  the  sound  of  Bow 
bell:*,  to  set  hia  ofiinion  against  thot  of  a  person  of 
such  great  tree  knowledge  as  Mr.  Menziea  ;  but  I 
have  freqi^ently  heard  that  the  elm  h  the  best

in  18fJ3,  are  the  following,  under  the  head  of  B., 
uiuoEgst  those  goldsmiths  who  kept  "running 
caHhes  "  :— 

Jobn  Bolitho,  at  tlie  Golden  Lion,  in  Lumbard  Street; 
John  BAlloird,  at  tbo  Unicorn,  m  Lumbcird  Street;  Job 
Hr>lton,  ftt  the  I^ott  and  Tun,  iii  Lijmhhrd  Street; 
*  RiclmdJ  HInncbardj  nt  ibe  MarygtjM,  in  Fleet  btreet. 

Although  none  of  the  above  have  the  initial  W,, 
still  1  tbtiught  Mr,  W,  J.  Green  might  like  to 
know  of  them,  as  probably  W.  B.  was  connected 
with  one  of  them. 

In  addition  to  the  above  there  w«s  a  William 
Baittnlie,  of  Mark  L:(ne,  who  kept  his  cash  with 
Alderman  Edward  Backwell,  up  to  the  time  the 
latter  failed  in  ltj72.  Bnttalie's  transactions  with 
Buckwell  would  lead  one  to  jiuppose  he  might 
hin-e  been  a  goldsmith.  F.  G.  Hiltok  Price.

A  Follower  of  the  Stuarts  (5"»  S.  v.  21.) — 
la  the  mime  known  of  the  person,  nttttched  to  the 
exiled  Htuarts,  who  was  buried  at  Floicnre,  and 
upon  wh»mi   the   beautiful  epitaph,  quoted  nt  the 
above  reference,  was  written  by  Lord  ISIacaiUay  ? 
Seargill,  whose  "  whispering  trees  "  are  alluded  to 
in  it,  is  on  the  river  Greta,  in  Yorkshire,  not  far 
from  *'  BrigTjall  banks,"  and  is  mentioned  by  Sir 
Walter  Scott,  in  Rohbtj^  m  the  place  where  Ber- 
tram hud  the  interview  with, Guy  Benzil : — 
"  Jle  BtAinls  in  Scftrgill  wood  eilone, 
2f  or  bears  lie  now  a  liarsher  tone 
Than  the  hoarse  cuBbat's  plaintive  cry. 
Or  Oreta*8  fonnd  that  murmurs  by  j 
Ani)  on  the  dale,  ho  lone  acd  wild, 
The  lummer  eun  iu  quiet  amilcd." 

Canto  Hi.  stanza  3. 

Perhaps  the  epit^iph  might  have  been  written 
on  an  expatriated  scion  of  the  ancient  Boman 
Catholic  family  of  Witham  of  Llitfe,  long  resident 
in  that  northern  part  of  Yorkshire,  winch  a*  di- 
vided from  Burhiim  by  the  "  lovelier  Tees,"  for 
which  the  exile  pined  on  the  banks  of  the  Arno. 
The  present  and  last  representative  of  the  line, 
the  Eev.  Thomas  Witham,  now  resides  ut  Lart- 
ington  Hall,  near  Barnard  Castle  ;  and  amongst 
his  vj^hmble  collection  of  jwntiiigs  is  a  very  curious 
one,  in  oil",  of  old  Lord  Lovat,  who  was  executed 
for  the  ^bare  he  took  in  the  rebellion  of  1745.

Knmany  word  that  I  ever  heard  from  which  Tinliler

THE  NEW  PEEBA0B8* 

of  eij^t  iKJeruK'W  •"»  been  recently 

thoDgh  "  N-  &  Q*"  does  not  gcnemlly 

cublmmry  mftttera,  yet  there  are  some 

mt  these    creations  —  not    about 

lObleit  (who  ;ire  ;ill  fmic  tinti  an<l 

about    the   titles  selected  and 

;h  may  be  worthy  of  notice. 

IT  were  already  in  the  House 

one  (ofi  a  representative  peer  of 

Til- V  nre  as  follows  : — 

\1:  in  England  (and  of 

1 1  **Earl  of  Ivinnira, 

and  I>nke  of  Gordon,  of  Gordon 

of  the  United  Kingdom  called 

being  alreiuiy»  as  one  of 

Hdf  '*  a  double-barrelled  duke  " 

'   two  hundred  years'  standing), 

guiding  a  third  dtikedom  (of  the 

j!i  If  to  become  *'  a  revolver.''    Aa 

ire  of  his  grandmother,  the  senior 

of  Gordon,  he  poaaessea  Gor- 

estates  of  that  family^  which 

in  1836  (who  thcreuptm  to«k 

fen  before  that  of  Lennox)^  by  the 

eternal  uncle)  George,  fifth  Duke  of 

It  issut*,  in  that  year,  when  that 

Scotch  peemge)i  which  hud  hsted 


about  150  years,  became  extinct.  The  Marquess 
of  Huntly,  the  heir  male  of  the  house  of  Gordon, 
deBC«ndB  only  from  tbe  grandfather  of  the  first 
Duke  of  Gflffdon.  Tbe  earldom  of  Kinrara  is  a 
title  hitherto  unknown,  and  does  as  well  aji  any 
other  to  he  conpled  with  that  of  March,  the  cour- 
tesy title  of  the  duke's  eldest  son.  If  it  amusetd 
his  Grace  to  have  it,  it  certainly  hurts  no  one,  and 
doubtless  is  "  good  for  trade," 

2.  The  Earl  of  Abergavenny,  created  "  Rorl  of 
Lewes,  co.  Sussex,  and  Marquess  of  Al>ergavenny, 
CO.  Monmouth."  It  is  strange  that  the  town  of 
Lewes  has  never  before  been  selected  for  a  peerage 
deBigoation.  It  18  an  appropriate  title  for  one 
who  has  large  estates  in  *Sussei,  though,  in  this 
case,  that  of  Tunbridge  wotdd  have  been  still  more 
appropriate.  Aa  to  the  ruarquessate,  which  the 
Tirtus  thought  it  beneath  the  dignity  of  the  earl 
to  accept,  it  i»  hard  to  see  why  a  famUy,  which 
obtained  an  earldom  from  George  IIL,  Hhuuld  not 
take  a  marqueasate  from  his  gmndtiaughter.  With 
respect  to  the  barony  of  Abergavenny,  which  his 
ancestor,  Edward  Neville^  obtained  by  writ  of 
auinmons  in  \&}4  (though  he  was  not  the  heir 
geri€rnl  of  that  barony),  it  seems  douVitful  whether 
such  writ  (although  the  newly  summoned  baron 
was  placed  in  tbe  precedency  due  to  the  old  lords, 
i.  (i,  that  of  1392)  does  not  conatituto  an  entirely 
ntw  barony  of  that  dfite.  One  can  hardly  see  how 
it  deprived  Lswly  Fane,  the  heir  general,  of  her 
right  of  inheriting  the  ancient  barony,  which  (be 
it  remembered)  came  to  the  Nevilks  "with  a 
lass"  (in  1450),  and  ought  appurently  to  have  left 
them  "  with  a  lass,"  in  1587.  However  this  may 
be,  the  barony  which  Edward  Neville  possessed  in 
in04,  though  one  hif  wTtf,  was  aUoivcd  in  1695  to 
the  heir  mak^  instead  of  the  heir  general  (female), 
of  his  body,  and  as  the  present  marquess  is,  and 
his  great-grandfather,  the  first  earl,  was,  such  an  heir 
pi:de (though  they  wcrenot  heirs  general),  these  new 
titles  of  Abergavenny  are  removed  from  the  ob- 
jection of  giving  to  a  man  possciistng  a  barony  i» 
fee  an  earldom  of  the  same  pkce,  with  a  different 
remainder. 

3.  Lord  WhamcliflTe,  created  "Viscount  Carlton 
of  Carlton,  and  Earl  of  Wliarnclitfe,  both  in  the 
west  riding  of  co.  York  "  ;  with  a  ppeciid  remain- 
der, in  default  of  male  issue,  to  his  brother,  the 
Hon.  Francis  Dudley  Stuart- Wort  ley.  The  Earl 
of  Shannon  in  the  Irish  peerage  aita  in  the  House 
of  Lords  as  Lord  Carlcton  of  Carleton,  co.  York, 
a  barony  created  in  llS(p.  This,  however,  is  not 
the  same  place,  nor  spelt  in  the  same  way.  Be- 
sides, as  Lord  Shannon's  second  title,  by  which 
his  eldest  son  is  known,  is  Viscount  Buy lo— while, 
on  the  other  hand,  Lord  Wharnclitfe  will  not  sit 
in  the  House  of  Lords  as  Lord  Carlton — no  con- 
fusion can  arise,  The  special  remainder,  though 
UDUsual,  and,  of  course,  a  very  great  favour,  is  not 
without  precedent  in  the  case  of  a  peerage  con-

ferred  on  »  person  already  a  peer,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  late  LoTd  Brougham,  the  first  Earl  of  Rossljn, 
Sic,  ;  and  in  this  case  it  is  only  the  extension  of 
the  btgber  titles  to  one  already  in  renminder  to  the 
barony.  The  title  of  Whamcliffe  appears  to  be 
taken  from  Wlmmcliife  Lodge,  in  the  parish  of 
Tankeraley,  the  only  mention  of  the  name  of 
Whamcliffe  in  Langdale's  Dictionary  of  Yorkshire, 
1809.  This,  for  an  earldom,  seems  a.  somewhAt 
humble  origin.  No  such  reproach,  however,  of 
over-hum ility  can  attach  to  the  next  person  en- 
nobled, riz- — 

4,  The  Earl  of  Erne,  a  representative  pew  of 
Ireland  t  created  **  Baron  Fermanagh  of  Lisna.skea, 
in  the  county  of  Fermanagh.'^  The  title  of  Fer- 
mmuigh  was  enjoyed,  as  a  viscounty  and  barony 
in  Uie  peerage  of  Ireland,  by  the  family  of  Vcraey 
of  BucKiagbamsbire,  from  17u3  to  18 in.  Why 
the  Earl  of  Erne,  who  li  known  both  in  and  oat 
of  the  House  of  Lords  as  svth  (sitting  there  as  a 
representiitive  peer  cu  Ejtrl  of  Erne),  should 
be  ashamed  of  the  title  he  derives  from  his  ances- 
tow  is  hard  to  teD.  His  second  title,  by  which 
his  son  and  heir  apparent  is  known,  in  Viscount 
Crichton ;  so  the  name  of  Lord  Fennanagh  will 
be  utterly  unknown^  excepting  so  far  only  as  his 
successors  nmy  be  known  in  the  House  (only)  under 
that  title.  He  should  not  anyhow  have  been  al- 
lowed to  select  a  cmmiy  as  the  title  for  his  barony. 
His  lordship  is  now  Baron  of  a  County  of  a  town  in 
that  county.  There  axe  not  too  many  counties,  for 
earls  prpJicnt  and  future,  to  admit  of  one  being 
"  pottMl "  in  this  manner,  and  condemned  to  per- 
petual obscnrity.  Probably  his  lordship's  view 
was  the  same  as  that  of  the  late  Marquess  of 
Hertford,  who,  towards  the  end  of  his  life,  when 
asked  (iifter  having  Htated  that  he  did  nut  now 
care  for  any  enjoyment)  why  he  had  just  purchased 
a  picture  of  immense  value,  replied  that,  though 
he  did  not  care  about  it  for  himself,  it  prevented 
"  another  fellow  "  from  having  it.  It  is  a  curiouH 
fiict  that,  when  Scotch  or  Irish  peers  receive  a 
peerage  of  tbc  United  Kingdom,  they  generally 
prefer  any  title  (often  one  unknown,  and  most  un- 
couth) to  their  own  ancient  one.  For  instance, 
instead  of  there  being  in  the  House  (as  such)  a 
Lord  Courtown,  Ahoyne,  GUagow,  Kinnaird, 
Enniskillen,  Limerick,  Conynghara,  Clanricjirdc, 
Cnvwford,  Head  fort,  ^leath,  Gosford^  Stair,  Fife, 
Seafield,  Dunmven,  Kolln,  *Southesk,  and  Caith- 
ness, tlie  peerages  selected  by  the  Scotch  and 
Irish  peers  ho  named  (as  if  on  purpose  to  puz/.le 
the  uninitiated,  and  to  lof^e  their  own  identity) 
are  Sjdtcraford,  Meldrum,  Eoss,  Rossie,  Grinsteiui, 
Foxford,  Minster,  Somerbill,  Wigan,  Kenlia,  Cha- 
worth,  Worlingham,  (Xxenfoord,  Skene,  Stratspey, 
Kenr>%  Dunning,  ;ind  (speak  softly!)  Balinhard 
and  Barrogfll 

6.  John  Ralph  Ormsby-Gore,  Esq.,  created 
*' Baron  Harkch  of  Harlech,  co.  Merioneth";  with 


a  special  remainder,  in  default  of  mule  lsd«,{ 
brother,    William    Kichard    Ormsby-Gorc, 
Harlech  has  never  yet  given  a  title  of 
and,   according  to   the  rarliamtr^tary 
has  been  "  long  since  reduced  to  a  small  viili 
indeed  it,  and  the  more  famous  "Men  of  Hdtdi' 
m  well,  were  so  much  ignored,  that  ihi 
and  most  of  the  papers,  announced  this 
as  "  Ban>n  Hurlock,"    The  title  is,  ho^ 
tach4^ ;   not  so,  however,   the   special 
which  is  most  objectionable,  and  appi 
almost  without    precedent    (unless  in 
peerage)  in  the  case  of  one  not  alr^yj 
any  of  the  three  kingdoms,  other  thtn 
cases  as  Nelson,  &c.,  to  whose  servioeij 
the  family  of  Ormsby-Gore  can  hardly' 
pared.     To  make  the  matter   more  st 
brother  is  not  even  the  heir  presumptive 
Harlech,  who  has  both  a  daughter  and 
who,  it  is  to  be  presumed,  wiU  inherit 
perty  as  he  is  able  to  leave  them« 

6.  Henry  Gerard  Sturt,  Esq,,  created 
Alington  of  Crichel,  co.  Dorset,"     His 
a  descendant,  through  the  family  of  Naj 
nets),  of  one  of  the  two  (in  their  issue) 
the  fatnilv  of  Alington,  Lords  Alinjjton  m 
Mi  12  to  ^722;  in  En^dand  16sj 
Gurz^ns,  Earls  Howe,  through  tht  i 
represent  the  other  co-heir. 

7*  John     Tolleraache,    Esq.,    created 
ToUemaclie  of  Helniingham  Hall,  co.  Suffo 
is  paternally  of  a  family  named  Ha 
grandfather,  John  Delap  H  alii  day,  Es*]., 
the  youngest  daughter  and  co-heir  of  Lioi 
mnche,  tbixd  Esirl  of  Dysart,  in  Scotlj 
Louisa  (sim  jura)  Countess  of  DjTsart^ 
tress  of  the  present  earl.      Their  son, 
licence,    dated   July  4,  1821,  took  the 
Tolleumche  in  lieu  of  that  of  Halliday, 
father  of  the  present  peer. 

8.  Sir   Robert    Tolver  Gerard,    Rirt., 
"  Baron  Gerard   of  Bryn,   in  the  co. 
Laocaster.-'     Why  this  gentleman,  whose 
tary  rank,  now  above  two  centuries  and  a 
giFcs  hini  at  present  such  infinite  precede 
the  last  three-named  persons,  has  been, 
after,  placed  beneath  them,  and  made  the 
of  the  whdle  batch,  is  hard  to  say.     The 
of  tlie  House  of  C"!ommons"  gives  M< 
and  Sturt  no  such   precedence ;  and 
Tollemache,  he  is  but  an  t/- member  of 
assembly — only,  in  fact,  a  dead  lion  (ev< 
the  M.P.  in  esse  to  be  a  lion),  and,  as 
compare  to  a  live  dog,  granting  that 
ranked  as  high  as  a  dog.     The  late  Lord 
reported  to  have  said  that  he  did  not  ll

The  allusion  in  Shakspeare  is  nafc  Uk  the  habits 
or  character  of  the  blackbird  us  solitary,  Buspicious, 
and  shy,  as  iwme  of  your  correspondents  have  eitp- 
posed,  but  simply  to  its  colour,  Shallow^s  de- 
scription of  Ellen  as  "  Your  fairest  daughter  and

'*  BtJSTLEas,*  Tempetty  Hi  I  (5**>  S,  iv.  181, 365.) 
=-Mr.  J.  Beale  writes  on  this  word  as  if  it  were 
in  the  text  of  Shakspe-are,  which  it  is  not.  It 
will  be  time  enough  to  consider  his  suggestion  that 
"Ferdinand's  'busy-leas'  matches  Mir^mda'a 
*  skilldesa,'  **  when  we  know  that  such  a  word  as 
"  busy-le-ss  "  ever  existed.  For  myself,  I  do  not 
believe  in  its  possibOity.  "  Skilldess  "  is  naturally 
formed  from  a  substantive ;  so  is  "  kinille^s," 
'*  matchlcHs,"  &c.  When  and  where  did  privatlves 
(in  hssi)  formed  from  adjectives  appear  in  English 
literature  ?  All  we  know  about  this  monster, 
**  buBv-iess,'^  is  that  Theobald  was  its  progenitor^ 
and  that  it  fi^rst  appeared  in  Theobald's  duodecimo 
edition  of  Shakspeare. 

Somewhere  in  "  N.  &  Q."  (if  I  remember  right) 
Eden  Warwick  defends  **  busy-less,"  on  the 
OTOund  that  *'  busy  "  is  there  a  verb.  But  that 
doe?  not  mend  the  matter  a  jot.  Such  privatives 
were,  indeed,  made  from  verhi  iraitsUiw^  which 
"busy"  is  not. 

I  really  think  we  ought,  by  this  time,  to  have 
heard  the  List  of  Theobald's  illegitimate  issue, 
which  is  "  neither  flesh,  nor  fowl,  nor  good  red- 
herring."  Jabez.

Earthworks  in  Eppino  Forebt,— In"N,&Q.," 
4*^  S.  X.  295,  under  the  above  title,  you  pub- 
lished a  communication  of  mine,  intimating  that  I 
had  met  with  truces  of  ancient  earthworks  in  the 
neighhourhoiid  of  Louahlon,  and  requestinginforma- 
tion.  The  replies  (p.  :i95)  confounded  my  discovery 
with  Ambr^fihury  Banks,  a  mile  and  a  half  further 
north.  Will  you  now  allow  me  to  chronicle  the 
fact  that  I  have  recently  repeatedly  investigated 
these  relics  of  antiquity,  and  that  Mr.  W.  D'Oyley 
of  Tjoughton  has,  in  the  exercise  of  a  most  pnilse- 
worthy  zeal,  surveyed  the  place,  and  made  a  phm 
of  it  to  scale  1  Essex  archwolo gists  will  be  glad 
to  hear  of  this  addition  to  their  list  of  ancient  re- 
mains, and  will,  1  hope,  give  to  it  the  attention 
which  it  deserves.  The  Trinobantcs,  if  thej^  con- 
structed it>  were  born  engineers,  m  the  site  is  ad- 
mirable. The  camp  occupies  a  sort  of  promontory, 
overlooking  a  deep  valley,  running  from  the  foot 
of  High  Beech  to  near  Loughton.  From  Loughton 
it  is  easily  accessible  to  pedestrians,  but  it  is 
nearer  to  the  Epping  rond,  east  of  a  point  half  a 
mile  beyond  the  Robin  Hood.  The  camp  con«isted 
of  a  ditch  and  embankment,  enclosing  a  space 
which  is  nearly  circular,  but  modiiled  by  the  con-

tour  of  the  suTface.  The  outer  circurufereDce  is 
aljout  750  yards.  The  whole  is  now  over^wn 
with  forest,  but  at  this  aeason  is  easily  pepamhu- 
hited.  The  ground  outsitle  the  northern  division 
haa  been  a  good  ileiil  dug  into  pita,  and  the  outer 
slope  OQ  the  south  shows  traces  of  aDcieDt  work. 
Mr,  D'Oyley  tells  me  that,  at  some  distance  to  the 
eoat,  there  are  sundry  mounds  ;  but  my  own  re- 
aenrches  in  that  quarter  hare  not  been  quite  so 
sucoeMfal.  Allow  me  to  tidd  thsit  the  gentleman 
I  hare  named  ha«  executed  for  the  Corporation  of 
London  a  map  of  the  forest,  in  which,  for  the  first 
time,  the  aite  of  this  camp  is  indicated.  The 
ground  foroifl  p:irt  of  the  manor  of  Loughton,  and 
13  included  in  the  enclosure  made  by  the  lord  of 
that  manor.  Happily  there  is  rea^ton  to  belt  eve 
that  it  is  no\F  .safe,  and  will  escape  the  fate  which 
threatened  it.  From  a  map  in  my  possession  I 
gather  that  a  Ronum  road,  running  north  from 
Stratford,  passed  very  near  the  camp.

Mrs.  DixoLiY. — ^In  moat  lives  of  Swift,  and  in 
most  accounts  of  Esther  Johai3on,  or  Stella,  it  is 
usual  to  speak  of  her  ffreat  friend  Rebecca  Dingley 
as  a  distant  rehuion  of  the  Temple  family.  I  am 
not  rtwarcj  however,  that  any  one  has  taken  the 
trouble  to  try  aod  find  out  what  that  relationship 
was.  In  the  hope  of  settling  this  point,  I  desire 
to  make  the  following  suggestions*  Sir  John 
Temple,  the  father  of  Sir  William,  married  Mnrj-, 
daughter  of  Dr.  Hammond  of  Chertsey,  and, 
therefore,  sister  of  the  celebrated  Henry  Hammond, 
D.D.  Accord  in  J?  to  A.  A  Wood,  Atk.  O.r.^  another 
daughter  of  this  Dr.  John  Hammond  of  Chertaey 
married  Sir  John  Binfjley,  Knii,'ht,  of  London. 
From  this  it  would  appear  that  Sir  John  iJingley 
was  the  uncle  of  Sir  William  Temple. 

In  some  deeds  relating  to  the  Ormonde  family, 
in  my  jwHsession,  there  are  records  of  a  mortgage 
of  lands  in  Ireland,  from  the  Duke  (then  Earl)  to  Sir 
John  Temple,  in  lH:i9.  The  money  thus  advanced 
h  statedj  in  1G55,  to  belong  to  John  Dinj^Iey,  Esq., 
of  Wolverton,  in  the  Isle  of  Wight,  and  his  son, 
John  Diagley  ;  and  in  1677  to  be  the  property  of 
8ir  John  Dingley  and  his  aon,  John  Dingley,  Esq., 
then  of  Kin^i  Streer,  Westminster.  Other  deeds 
show  that  tlii.H  John  Dingley,  Esq.,  had  a  son 
described  as  John  Dingley,  Gent.,  to  whom  the 
mortgage  money  was  remid  prior  to  168(1  Here, 
then,  there  are  three  John  Dingleys,  the  knight, 
the  esquire,  and  the  gent.  ;  and  the  t[Ucstion  is, 
which  of  these  wivs  the  father  of  Rebecca  Dingley? 
Sir  John  Dingley  imd  a  second  son,  Robert 
Dingley,  Rector  of  Brightestone,  aHa*  Brixton,  in 
the  Isle  of  Wight,  the  Jiving  of  which  he  obtained 
through  the  interest  of  his  kinsman,  Colonel  Robert

Garnktt  Family*— Can  any  of  your  correspon- 
dents give  me  information  concerning  this  family  ? 
The  Rev.  William  Gamett  was  bom  about  the 
year  176<>,  near  Rtchmourl,  in  Yorkshire,  though 
I  have  not  found  the  certiticate  of  his  birth.  He 
bore  amis,  Az.,  three  griffins'  bends,  erased,  or, 
f|uartering  Grey.  In  the  Harleian  MSS.  there  is 
a  short  pedigree  of  four  descents,  beginning  with 
James  Gamett  of  Blasterfield,  in  AVestmoreland, 
who  had  a  son  Lorance  Garnett  of  Egglescliffe, 
whose  son  Anthony  Garnett  of  EgglesclifVe  had  a 
son  John  Garnett,  a  captain  of  horse  in  the  Koyal 
array,  temp.  Charles  I.  Now  Egglesclitfe  is  close 
to  Richmond,  and  the  Rev,  William  Gamett  being 
born  there,  and  bearing  the  same  arms  ns  these 
Garnetts,  shows,  I  think,  thnt  he  must  have  eonie 
of  the  same  fiiraily.  I  think  the  ^>edigrce  is  to  be 
traced  to  a  very  remote  period,  for  Burke's  Ar- 
mory spells  the  name  in  four  ditierent  ways, 
giving  the  same  arms  to  each  :  Givrnett,  Garnet^ 
Garnatt,  Gumut^  az.,  three  griflins'  heads,  eraaed, 
or.     This  is  proof  of  antiquity. 

Geoffery  (ramett,  of  Garnetts  and  Merks,  in 
Essex,  was  living  in  the  year  1166,  and  Garnetts 
and  Merks  remained  in  his  family  till  about  1350, 
\Vliat  .nmis  he  bore  I  do  not  know  ;  but  I  wish  to 
connect  hira,  if  possible,  with  the  Egglescliffe 
Garnets,,  and  the  Egglesclilfe  Garnetts  with  the 
Rev.  William  Garnett.  I  read  in  some  county 
history  that  the  chancel  of  Pentlow  Church,  Essex, 
was  called  GiirnetLs  chancel  because  it  contaiiied 
luonumcnts  of  that  family.       W.  G,  TAtTSTOlt.

BOOKBINDING. 
(5«*'  a  ir.  366,  472.) 

I  am  Tery  dad  this  subject  has  found  its  way  into 
"  N.  &  Q."  Binding  is  a  very  interesting  question 
for  the  man  with  an  ornamental  Library,  for  in  it  he 
can  display  alike  money  and  taste,  I  think  books 
should  be  bound  with  a  regard  to  their  subjects- 
Anyhow,  there  is  a  delightful  aensation  in  handling 
a  beautifully  liound  book  ;  and  a  hirge  library  in 
rich  and  appropriate  bindings  is  a  noble  sight. 

But  I  suspect  the  question  Ls  one  of  much 
greater  practical  importance  to  the  owners  of  large 
working  libraries  ;  to  the  literary  man,  who  has  to 
make  constant  tise  of  his  books,  and  has  to  keep 
pace  with  periodical  literature,  the  pubUcationa  of 
the  learned  societies,  and  the  so-called  blue-books 
issued  by  the  different  departments  of  the  Govern- 
ment, and,  lastly,  |>amphlctB.  Here  he  has  a  large 
mass  of  unbound  material,  which,  if  it  be  essential 
to  his  plans  to  preser^'e,  will  land  him  in  a  con- 
siderable periodical  expenditure.  To  such  a  man

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[p*  fl> 


He  requires  at  ooce  an  economic,  an  effective,  aad 
a  rapid  mode  of  getting  his  stores  put  into  form 
for  preBervation  and  reference. 

Our  working  libraries  are  formed  by  degrees  ; 
firat  hundreds,  then  thooaands,  and  finally,,  a-s  in 
my  own  case,  tens  of  thousands.  When  ray  library 
was  yet  in  its  infancy,  I  begjin  a  Bystem  which 
answered  very  well  up  to  a  certain  point  I  had 
my  booka  bound  cheaply,  but  stronf^ly,  in  cloth  of 
certain  colours,  in  relation  to  the  subject-matter  of 
the  book.  Thus,  general  statistics,  brown  ;  vital 
Btatiatics,  red  ;  periodical  literature,  green ;  his- 
tory, roan  ;  currency,  amber ;  chronology,  buff ; 
pftrlismentary  papers,  blue  ;  pamphlets,  black. 

In  course  of  time  I  adopted,  almost  from  neces- 
aity,  the  method  of  classifying  my  library  into 
subjects,  and  then,  behold,  the  colour>eleraent, 
which  had  tMJcn  so  useful  for  distinction  previously, 
became  inconvenient  from  its  very  sameness. 
Larse  raiisses  of  binding  of  the  same  shade  present 
no  landmarks,  I  then  introduced  changes  of 
colour  into  each  division,  iis  follows  : — vital  sta- 
tiatica— works  wjlating  to  England  and  Wales, 
red  (crimson) ;  to  Scotland,  blue  (dark) ;  to  Ire- 
land, green  (emerald) ;  to  the  continent  of  Europcj 
bull' ;  to  the  United  States,  brown  ;  to  India, 
yellow  (bright).  This  la  answering  very  well, 
excepting  idwaya  some  confu.%ion  from  the  pre- 
ceding plan.  Books  in  publishers'  boards  of  course 
intcrftre  with  the  general  plan.  I  suppose  it  h 
hopeless  that  publishers  should  ever  agree  to  any 
genend  cla-ssiJication  of  subjects  by  colour. 

The  t^uestion  of  the  materials  for  binding  a 
working  library  is  important.  Cloth  is  the 
cheapest,  but  cloth  binding  for  books  much  used 
gets  nhabhy  ;  and  since  I  moved  my  library 
from  the  country  to  London,  another  difficulty  has 
com©  about.  One  of  the  rooms  devoted  to  my 
books  is  over  the  kitchen  ;  the  cockchafers  have 
come  through  the  chmka  of  the  floor  or  the  fire- 
place, and  they  have  attacked  all  my  books  newly 
DOund  in  re^l  cloth,  and  some  of  those  in  green, 
ftud  (piite  disfigured  them,  even  eating,  or  rather 
Bucking,  through  the  gold  lettering.  I>o  they  get 
attnicted  by  the  past*  used,  or  what  is  it  ?  And 
what  is  the  remedy  ?  I  have  used  powdered  bomxj 
placing  it  on  the  shelves  at  the  back  of  the  books. 
The  damage  has  been  less  since. 

Leather  half-binding  looks  the  neatest,  and  cer-

ring  to  the  index  to  the  Annual  liegu- 
i  that  the  marriage  of  Lord  Linton  to 
jnscToft  was.  duly  recorded  in  vol.  xvi., 
the  year  1773,  1  eould  find  no  record 
h  of  any  child  of  that  marriage  in  1770, 
flertbe  lady  became,  by  the  death  of  her 
(ihther,Coante8sof  Traquair.  The  index 
birth  of  a  80Q  is  recorded  in  vol.  xxiiL 
be  ixiv.),  for  the  year  1781,  which  son 
te  earl  ;  and  in  vol.  xxvii.j  nuuiely,  for 
►irth  of  another  child,  but  does  not,  as  in 
ing  case,  describe  the  chihi  as  a  son,  *So 
d  that  Kearsley  was  right'  nfter  all,  and 
■a  waa  born  in  1784,  and  not  in  177f>. 
Btural  conclusion,  as  the  reader  will 
\  which  I  am  hound  to  say  was  not 
bf  subsequent  inciuiries. 
fcped  to  the  A  nnual  Rc^ufer  for  1784, 
JBlO,  I  read,  under  the  date  of  July  15, 
Km  of  Trat^[uair,  of  a  sojiJ^  This  wa.s 
■  misprint,  because  all  the  peerages, 
Kearvley,  tell  us  that  the  earl  had  but 


two  children,  one  son  and  one  daughter,  for  which, 
also,  there  is  the  high  aathority  of  Douglas. 

But,  before  seeding  you  this  correction,  I 
thought  it  right  to  refer  to  the  Gentleman's  Maga- 
zinty  and,  to  my  great  surprise,  I  found  it  agreeing 
in  every  respect  with  the  Annv^tl  Regiat^  in  re- 
cording Lord  Linton's  marriage,  in  its  silence  as 
to  the&irth  of  any  issue  of  such  marriage  till  1781, 
and  then  the  birth  of  a  son,  followed  by  that  of  a 
second  son  in  1784. 

I  then  turned  to  the  ScoU  Magaiiiiu^  and  in  the 
volume  for  1784  found  it  stated  that  the  Oounteaa 
of  Traquair  had  given  birth  to  a  son  in  Ijondon  on 
the  2iith  (not  15th)  of  July.  But  I  found  more; 
for,  on  referring  to  that  magazine  for  1776,  I  found 
(what  is  not  recorded  either  in  the  (icnikumn^s 
Mngazint  or  A  miuai  EeguUr)  that  on  March  20, 
1776 J  Lady  Linton  gave  birth  to  a  daughter  at 
Edinburgh. 

It  would  be  a  waste  of  time  on  roy  pari  to  en- 
deavour to  clear  up  this  discrepancy  in  the  Tra- 
quair  pedigree,  since  it  is  clear  your  well-informed 
correspondent  C.  G.  H.  has  the  means  of  doing  so 
without  much  difticuUy. 

I  have  nothing  to  say  as  to  the  question  of  the 
**  Last  of  the  Stuarts,"  as  I  agree  with  the  writer 
of  the  exhaustive  article  on  "  The  Heirs  of  the 
Stuarts,"  in  the  Quartrrhj  Rcritw  for  June,  1847, 
that  *'the  death  of  Cardinal  York  extinguished 
the  descendants  of  James  IL"

If  he  doea  so,  it  is  an  error.  I  have  my«elf  twice  seen  a 
priest  assistant  do  it;  but  it  is  not  a  nutter  of  ^cat 
iDonient.  It  ia  the  biahop  alone  who  can  give  '  la  per- 
fection de  la  prt'triM.' " 

I  had,  in  asking  the  question,  alluded  to  the 
Swedish  Lutheran  Church,  where  the  bishops  are 
always  consecrated  by  one  bishop  assisted  by  two 
prie^stri. 

There  is  one  other  point  of  interoHt  to  which  I 
may  perhaps  allude.  Dr.  Neale,  in  his  BUiory  of 
tin  nO'CnlUii  Jan^cnid  Church  of  Holland^  men- 
tiooH  that  Bishop  Bon  of  Haarlem  is  the  only 
bishop  uf  that  Church  who  has  escaped  excom- 
munication from  Rome,  and  that  he  was  afterwards 
Bominateil  to  the  see  of  Bruges,  in  Belgium  ;  but 
from  causes  quit©  distinct  From  ^*  Janaenist '' con* 
troversiea,  the  nomination  fell  through  \yid4  Neale, 
p,  350)«  Dr.  Neale,  however,  does  not  state  what 
these  reasons  were  which  prevented  Bishop  Bon 
from  becomin^j  Bishop  of  Bniges.  My  friend  has 
kindly  explained  the  matter  to  me  as  follows  : — 

"The  Dutch  Govemment  wished  to  reunite  us  with 
Rome.  Our  bishops  wore,  according  to  aconcordnt,  lo 
rMtjtn  tljeir  sees,  and  there  wfu»  to  be  then  a  Uinhop  of 
Amsterdam  for  the  Nortbom  ProrinccM.  Mngr.  Bon, 
the  one  bishop  who  ws^  not  excoromunicatod,  was  to 
become  Biahop'of  Brages  so  soon  aa  be  had  resigned  for 
himself  the  »eo*of  Haarlem.*' 

Political  changes  prevented  the  concordat  from 
being  carried  out,  and  thus  Bishop  Bon  did  not 
succeed  to  the  see  of  Bruges,  and  the  "  Jansenists" 
remain  separate  from  Rome, 

Those  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q."  who  are  interested 
in  the  affairsi  of  the  Dutch  **  Jansenists "  will  find 
some  information  in  the  Report  of  the  Anglo- 
Continental  Society  for  1875,  published  by  Messrs. 
Rivingtoas.  T.  M.  Faixow, 

"HSt,  (5"»  S.  iv.  443,  494  ;  v.  17,  72.)-Suida8, 
Scapula,  Hedrick,  Eustathius — are  th&sc  the  heroes 
that  I  have  unwittingly  attacked  I  NevertheleSB, 
I  must  tlefend  myself,  for  I  have  gone  too  far  to 
draw  buck. 

I  will  first  take  our  rendering  of  the  passM© 
from  Thucydides.  The  charges  against  it  may  oe 
chi.ssed  under  two  heads  : — 

1.  It  i«i  paraphrastic  and  obscure.  The  first  I 
admit.  V,  e  were  tttmskting  the  passage  simply 
with  a  view  to  bringing  out  the  meaning  of  >jiO»ji. 
Under  any  other  circumstances,  such  a  rendering 
would  have  been  reprehensible,  although  I  believe 
even  an  acute  scholai*  would  be  at  a  loss  to  express 
the  sense  of  the  Greek  Iprirjly.  The  obscurity  is 
not  quite  so  great  as  Mr.  Tew  imagines,  for  after 
the  verb  "avow"  the  personal  pronoun  naturally 
refers  to  the  subject  of  that  verb.  But  even  sup- 
posing that  I  fully  admitted  these  defects^  IheY

would  not  affect  the  meaning  of  yC'}}.  A  transla- 
tion nitty  be  parnphrastic  aod  yet  correct ;  whilst, 
the  obscurity,  Mr.  Tew  bimseff  asserts,  does  not 
bear  upon  the  adverb  at  aO. 

2.  lanccaracy.  To  refute  this  chai'ge  would  be 
simply  to  repeat  our  first  arguments.  Let  us  see, 
then,  whether  Mr.  Tew's  translation  is  iinimpeiich- 
ttble  on  this  point  :  "  And  by  reiison  of  their 
ancient  gmdge  againbt  the  Lacedicioonians,  the 
Athenians  tooi  them  under  their  protection,  and 
pliiced  them  in  the  city  of  NaupiictMs/'  Kow,  I 
am  ratber  curious  to  know  which  of  these  worda  is 
the  rcpreseutatxTe  of  >Joi/.  Is  it  "ancient"?  If 
so,  Mr.  Tew's  translutioii  certainly  implies  that 
the  Athenians  may  or  may  not  have  acted 
prctioudjf  on  the  score  of  hatred  ;  whereas  I  am 
willing  to  prove  that  ijoij  points  to  thia  being  the 
first  time  they  dared  om^Uy  to  do  so.  And  this 
is  what  we  loexint  by  culmination^  or  consunimfition. 
The  hatred  had  long  been  smoiiklerinfj  in  the 
breasts  of  tlie  Athenians,  but  the  coi^stone  waa 
not  put  on  until  the  enemies  of  the  Spartans  had 
been  bou&ed  at  Naupactus.  This  coincides  with 
the  context,  and  gives  great  force  to  it,  and  this  is 
just  what  Mr.  Tkv.'s  tranaktioo  fails  to  embody. 
The  word  "  iivowing/'  so  far  from  being  "  an  inter- 
polation (juite  unc;dled  for,"  is  the  keystone  of  the 
passage. 

As  I  have  asserted  that  Liddell  and  Scott's 
Lexicon  does  not  satisfactorily  e^jplain  this  word,  I 
will  try  to  show  how  it  is  so.  Few  articles  in  this 
Look  evince  such  a  lack  of  that  humility  of  induc- 
tion, which  causes  the  seeker  after  truth  to  await 
patiently  the  residt  of  his  laborious  investigations. 
At  the  outset,  there  is  no  one  meaning  of  the 
word  olfercd  sufficiently  abstract  to  embrace  all  its 
usa«:es.  This  is  a  fault  sufficient  in  my  opinion 
to  vitiate  the  whole  paissuge.  For  bow  c^n  the 
student  in  the  present  case  expect  an}-  unity  of 
thought  to  pers'ade  the  exphmations  f  I  have 
sometimes  been  pu/^led  almost  to  desp:mtion  (I 
know  not  whether  this  is  to  my  shame),  after 
patiently  wanderinjj  throoj^h  a  muze  of  tortuous 
divisions  and  subdivisions,  nnd  I  have  tried  in 
vain,  on  reaching  the  end^  to  connect  all  the 
meanings  or  discover  the  root  wbtcb  threw  off  all 
these  bnincbes.  Take,  for  instance,  the  article  on 
the  word  SoK€ii>.  Can  Mr,  Tew  explain  how  the 
K^coud  class  of  meanings  springs  from  the  first  ? 
The  mind  is  left  with  little  or  no  help  to  remember 
all  these  disconnected  meanings  as  best  it  can,  and 
he  who  baa  the  most  capacious  memory  wins. 

I  wQl  conclude  with  asking  only  one  more 
f|uestion.  What  is  meant  by  the  phrase,  "  the 
immediate  past,"  in  explanation  (I)  of  vj^ij  1  Does 
it  mean — but  I  can  suggest  no  meaning  for  it 
whatsoever,  in  its  present  iiitnation. 

We  did  not  arrive  at  our  conclusion  hastily  as 
regards  this  word,  and  so  it  is  hardly  likely  \hat 
<ither  my  friend  or  I  should  now  throw  it  aside, 


having  tmticipiited  and  carefully  considered  all  the 
objections  that  Mn^  Tew  raises,

Holland^  of  Sheffield  Park,  the  friend  and  bio- 
grapher of  James  Montgomeryj  who  died  at 
Sheffield  on  Bee.  2B,  1872.  The  title  Cruciafta 
might  suggest  a  belief  that  Mr  Holland  was 
thereby  supplementing?  the  High  Church  movement

neither  "  Papist  nor  Puritan,"  and  ndvocated,  in

this  suspicion  operated  against  the  sale  of  a  valu-

althoutrli  admitted  a  a  authentic  bj  Lownde."?!,  is 
one  of  two  attributed  to  Lord  Ellesmere,  which  are 
questioned  by  Watts  on  the  ground  of  "  inaccumcv 
and  composition,"  the  other  being  the  Spr.ech  imich- 
ing  tht  Pod  Nati^  which  h  also  mentioned  by  your 
correspondent.  It  ©ppears  that  Lord  Ellesmere,  n 
«hort  time  before  his  death,  gave  certain  ''  hooks 
of  his  own,  written  by  his  own  hand,"  to  his  chap- 


hitn,  John  Williams,  afterwards  Archbishop  of 
York  and  Lord  Keeper.  Tliis  is  stated  by  Am- 
brose Philips  in  his  LiU  of  Williams.  And  he 
adds  that  these  manuscripts  were  '*  collections  for 
the  well  ordering  of  the  High  Court  of  Parliament, 
tlie  Court  of  Chancery,  the  Stir  Chamber,  and  tha 
Council  Board,"  in  which  were  comprised  the  main 
duties  of  the  office  of  the  Lord  Chancellor.  When 
WiDiame  fell  into  disgrace,  hiB  library  and  all 
effects  were  seixed  and  dispersed.  It  would  apj 
that  &orae  of  these  manuscripts  may  have 
into  the  hands  of  unskilful  editors,  and  been  pul 
iished.  In  a  volume  of  manuscripts  whick 
belonpfed  to  Archbishop  Williams,  1  find  a 
on  the  "  Privileges  and  Special  Rights  bel< 
to  the  Baronafre  of  England.''  This  is  a 
subject  with  the  collections  speciMed  by 
Philips,  and  the  treatise  may  possibly  have 
among  them.  NiORATiENsra.

In  answer  to  Apis,  Louise  Lateau  still  continues 
to  exhibit  the  same  phenomonii,  the  ecstasy  occur- 
ring every  Friday,  with  bfemorrbage  from  the  feet, 
hands,  side,  and  he^d.  Within  the  last  few  weeks, 
however,  she  has  been  growing;  gradually  weaker, 
and  when  I  last  heard  was  at  the  point  of  death. 

As  regards  the  letter  of  Dr.  Boens^  of  Charleroi, 
in  the  Mtdicul  JouTnal^  I  am  not  in  a  position  to 
give  a  categorical  denial  to  bis  assertion  thjit  she 
is  an  impostor.  I  must,  however,  record  my  iirra 
conviction  in  the  truth  of  Louise  Lateau 's  case,  for 
I  can  never  believe  that  such  a  heroine  of  charity 
as  she  ha.s  proved  herself  to  be  in  so  many  circum- 
Btances  of  her  life  could  ever  have  lent  herself  to 
such  a  miserable  fraud  as  Dr.  Botns  would  have 
us  believe. 

Dr.  Lefebvre,  who  is  one  of  the  most  able  men 
in  Belgium,  has  had  every  opportunity  of  making 
a  full  and  complete  study  of  her  case,  and  some  of 
the  te^ts  he  made  use  of  were  such  as  to  inllict  the 
mast  excruciating  pain.  At  first  distrustful — for 
he  acknowledges  that  at  the  outset  he  looked  upon 
her  as  an  impostor — he  finidly  tUclarcd  that  the 
bypoliesis  of  firaud  must  be  absolutely  discarded. 

Alore  than  a  hundred  medieid  men  from  all 
parts  of  Europe  have  examined  Louise  Lateau,  and 
all,  with  scarcely  an  exception,  accept  her  case  as 
genuine.  J.  S.  SHErABD.

In  nearly  eeiren  hundred  pages  Mr.  Brewer  reviews 
the  momentoua  incidents  of  the  years  1524-30. 
These  pages  will  he  read  with  the  utmost  interest, 
both  for  the  importance  of  the  .subject  iiud  the 
ability  with  which  it  ia  treated.  We  feed,  however, 
that  Mr.  Brewer  has  gone  aomewhat  beyood  the 
limitji  ^^ithin  which  the  editors  of  this  ^eat  na- 
tional series  are  bound  to  keep.  The  nation  psvys 
for  the  urrnnglng  and  printing;  of  the  C4i]endars 
which  are  intended  lo  facilitate  the  researches  of 
historians  ;  but  it  never  intended  to  atford  oppor- 
tonitiefj  to  the  several  editors  to  pnt  forth  their 
own  views  on  fwlitics  or  religion.  Mr.  Brewer 
would  be  justified  in  maintaining  the  opinions  to 
which  he  givea  brilliant  expresfiion  in  this  Intro- 
duction, in  any  volume  which  he  choae  to  publish 
on  his  own  account  ;  but  we  think  he  lisis  over- 
leapt  his  right  in  a  work  which  ia  directed  by  the 
Master  of  the  RoDa,  and  is  sanctioned  by  Her  Ma- 
jesty's Secretaries  of  State.  On  these  officials 
weighs  a  responsibility  which  should  be  borne  in 
mind  by  the  editors  in  whom  they  place  confidence. 
We  aay  nothing  of  political  questions,  but  refer  to 
n  religiouH  one.  Mr.  BrewePa  pages^  illustrating 
his  own  view  of  "the  tme  origin  of  the  Reforma- 
tion," will  be  contested  by  ten  out  of  every  twelve 
readers  ;  and  all  their  chanu  of  style,  or  honest 
earnestness  of  expression,  C4»naot  pei^uade  us  that 
they  here  have  a  fitting  ptace.  We  notice  this 
mistake  with  profound  regret,  for  it  is  painful  to 
evea  hijit  censure  f^inet  an  editor  to  whom  the 


public  on  30  many  o<:casioQ3  bos  been  i

1^  Bi*lefs  controversy.    In  Father  Newman's  Ldtcr  to 

\^'  Gladstone,  published  a  year  ago,  the  writer,  at  [>.  *-j3. 

tjjwjiesthft  infallibility  of  Pope  CJregory  XI IL  when  he 

[^  a  medal    struck  in   honour   of   the   Bnrtholomi?w 

of  Paul  IV.  in  his  conduct  towards  Elizabeth  ; 

t*f  Sjitas    V-  when  ho   blessed  the  Armada  :  and  of 

Trban  VIII.  in  persecating  Galileo.     See  also  p.  IW, 

fof  iKe  case  of  Pope   HonoriuB.     This  pontiff  had  snp- 

r'  :  >  in  two  formal  letters  the    opinions  of  Sergiu<9^ 

'  1-    rrh  *'f  Conftiantinople,  who  had  been  declared  by 

'^-il.  caih  Council  ijuilty  uf  heresy  for  holding?  a  certaiTi 

HiKCHae  ub  the  personality  of  Jeaus  Christ.    Uonorius, 


above  forty  yeais  afUr  his  death,  was  condemned  bv 
anathema  a*  a  heretic  for  his  entire  concurrence  with 
Serginii's  opinioo.  Father  Newman  allows  that  thi«  is  a 
strong  ffrimdfactt  argument  against  the  Pope^s  doctrinal 
infallibility ;  but  he  sets  aside  the  argument  by  f>tatin^ 
that  Hooorius  wrote  the  two  letters,  not  as  pope,  but  as 
a  private  bishop, 

J.  U.  R.  wishes  us  to  make  a  note  of  tbe  **  novel  fact " 
that  a  performance  took  place  last  week  at  the  Durham 
Theatre  for  the  benefit  of  Tbomley  Church.  Tbe  pro- 
ceeding was  under  the  patronage  of  the  Re?.  Wm.  Mayor 
(the  vicar)  and  tbe  church  wardens,  and  appears  to  hare 
been  very  successful.  The  "fact,"  however,  is  not 
"novel."  When  OUo  was  played  at  Ox:ford  in  1713,  the 
sum  of  5^.  was  given  otjit  or  the  receipts  "  for  the  repain 
of  St.  Marr's  Church,"  Throughout  the  century  we  find 
records  of  benefita  for  the  building  or  repsiring  of 
churches  and  chapels,  for  opening  vsirds  in  hospitiUs,  for 
sufferers  from  fire,  for  redeeming  men  out  of  slavery,  and 
for  Lying-in  Hospitals  in  vrant  of  funds. 

llEiTBT  B.— "  Lord  Mayor."  The  prefix  of  «  lorxl "  Is 
commonly  said  to  have  been  granted  by  Edward  HI,  to 
tbe  mayor  of  London  in  13f>4.  In  that  year,  Thomas 
Leg^e.  ancestor  of  the  Earl  of  Dartmouth,  was  chief 
maf^istrate.  The  late  Mr.  B.  B.  Orridge  {Som«  A<xovm 
nf  ikt  Citi^fTLt  qf  London  and  iktir  RuUrg,  Tegg  k  Co., 
1867)  says, "  Lejzge  lent  money  to  Edward  IIL  end  married 
the  daughter  of  Thomas  Beauchamp,  Earl  of  Warvtick. 
He  was  behesdedin  2381  by  the  partisans  of  Wat  Tyler.'* 
The  title  "  lord  mayor  "  is  now  home  by  the  chief  civic 
ofGcor  of  London,  of  York,  and  of  Dubliu— only. 

F.  B.  D.— At  the  time  alluded  to,  "pardons  "  of  con- 
victed prisoners  were  granted  to  maids  of  honour  and 
other  r^rsons  about  Court  If  the  prisoners  could  buy 
their  pardons  of  those  who  held  the  power  to  j^rant  them, 
they  obtained  their  freedom ;  otherwise,  they  were  eold 
to  the  TraosatUntio  plantera 

C.  A.  W.— The  Eev,  Hamilton  Paul's  book  was  entitled

for  the  best  drawing  of  a  landscape  from  nature^ 
with  chalk,  pen,  indian  ink^  or  bbter,  tlurty

tuid  en;;niving  are  in  proportion  as  large.  Paint-

feet  six  inches  high.''  This  is  remarkable  ;  nor 
are  the  conditions  under  which  the  pictures  are

For  silk  gloves  and  niita,  like  the  French,  a

curiaua.    A  premium  will  be  given —

This  Miss  Lovell  was  a  aiater  of  Southey's 
brother-in-law,  Robert  Lovell,  of  whom  I  gave  n. 
short  account  in  "  N.  &  Q./'  4*»»  S.  v.  17!.  She 
died  nboiit  aeven  years  ago,  upwards  of  eighty 
years  of  nge,  being  remarkable  for  iwasesaion  of 
all  her  fiicultiea  and  great  clearness  of  memory. 
The  Matv  referred  to  in  thia  letter  was  the  wife  of 
Koberfc  LoveU,  and  sister  of  Southey's  first  wife. 
She  resided  at  Keswick,  with  the  poet,  and 
*' there,"  says  the  Timti,  "she  found  happiness 
until  his  death."  Her  son,  Robert  Lovell  the 
younger,  Southey  apprenticed,  and  took  a  warm 
interest  in  hi«  Widfsvre  untd  hh  mysterious  fate  in 
1830  (see  "  N.  &  Q.,"  ut  iUfrm). 

Who  Mrs.  Steele  was,  of  what  works  she  was 
the  author,  and  whether  she  carried  out  Southey'« 
ad  V  ice,  I  have  no  means  of  knowing.  Presumably 
other  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q."  are  more  fortunate, 
and  hence  the  possible  interest  of  this  letter  to 
them.  S.  R.  Townshend  Mayer,

H.  S.  King  &  Co.,  1874\  may  be  fitly  presented  to

"  Some  of  my  readers  will  feci  disnoecJ  to  laugh  oat- 
right  at  a  learned  doctor  admitting  no  is  an  inveterate 
believer  in  all  sorts  of  popular  suptmtitidns,  forebodings, 
and  presentiments.  I  am  alarmed  at  the  spilling  of  a 
salt  cellar ;  I  dou't  like  to  meet  a  hearse  while  going  out 
of  the  street  door ;  I  would  not  undcrthke  a  journey  or 
any  important  work  on  a  Friday;  and  the  breaking  of  a 
lookiiiggbss  would  throw  mc  into  fits.  Now  this  mom' 
ing,*  soon  after  our  ii'te-»\-UHe  ihjtiiner,  I  became  sud- 
denly  depressed  in  spirits,  to  such  a  degree  that  my  fur 
hostess  fancied  I  hiid  been  taken  ill.  This  state  of 
nervousness  and  depression  endured  after  I  had  retired 
to  my  hotel,  and  was  making  ready  my  lu-rgage  for  niy 
positive  de|>arturc  at  noon  on  the  succeeding  day,  leaving 
oat  only  the  evening  dro^s  for  the  dinner  and  opera. 
On  taking  my  place  at  dinner  tho  knife  and  fork  laid 
before  ine  crossway  suirtlcd  me  (I  dare  eay  I  turned 
pale),  but  I  said  nothing.  Tb.oro  wcnj  two  attendants. 
At  the  next  course  the  other  valet  replaced  my  plate» 
and  again  the  f:ital  cto^a  was  laid  1)efore  me  I  I  looked 
round  to  the  three  i;;uc3t3  to  sec  if  it  was  tho  habit  of 
the  servantt)  of  the  hou;!io  ;  they  ha<.l  no  cross,  only  the 
doctor  :  and  ugain  the  third  time  tho  same  {symbol  made 
its  appearance  before  mo  with  the  netting  of  the  desflc-rt 
and  correspondinir  p1ati*i>  with  gilt  knife  and  fork,  the 
two  latter  of  which  artiflca  npiin  contrived  to  be  laid 
down  in  a  crucial  form.  Ah  !  now  there  was  no  mistake. 
Some  great  crossing  was  about  to  befall  me.  I  had  bet- 
ter shut  myself  up  for  the  rest  of  tho  day,  give  \x\t  the 
proposed  drive  and  tho  oiiera,  und  wait  until  I  can 
escape  iu  the  mominj;  from  the  doomed  city.  To  make 
matters  still  more  formidable,  I  foimd.  on  looking  at  my 
ciilendur,  that  it  was  Friday.  All  this  mind-work  I  of 
course  kept  to  myfclf,  albeit  I  must  bnvo  appeared

propriety  have  followed  the  stanza  beginning,  *  Far  from 
the  madding  crowd*§  ijpioble  strife  * : — 

No  airy  dreams  their  iimple  fancies  fired, 
No  thirst  for  wealth,  nor  panting  after  fame ; 

But  truth  diviae  gubtimcr  hopes  inspired, 
And  urged  them  onward  to  a  nobler  aim. 

From  every  cottage,  with  the  day  arose 
The  hallowed  voice  of  spirit  breathing  prayer ; 

And  nrtlesa  anthemfl,  at  its  peaceful  close, 
Like  bolj  iticenee,  charmed  the  erouiug  air. 

Though  they,  each  tome  of  human  law  unknown, 

Tbe  brilliant  path  of  science  neTer  trod. 
The  sacred  Tolnme  claimed  tbeir  hearts  alone. 

Which  taught  the  way  to  igloi7  and  to  God* 

Here  they  from  truth's  eternal  fountain  drew 
The  pare  and  gladJening  waters  day  by  day  ; 

Learnt,  iince  our  daya  are  evil,  fleet,  and  few, 
To  walk  in  wiedom'a  briglit  and  peaceful  w»y« 

Inyon  lone  pile,  o'er  which  hath  sternly  pass'd 
The  heary  hand  of  all-destroy tng  Time,^ 

Through  whose  low  moitldering  aisles  now  Bighs  the  blast, 
And  round  whose  altars  gnn  and  iry  climb,— 

They  gladly  thronged^  their  ifrateful  hymns  to  raise, 
Oft  93  the  calm  and  holy  Sabbath  ahone  ; 

The  mingled  tribute  of  their  prayers  and  praise 
In  sweet  communion  rose  before  the  throne. 

Here,  from  those  honoured  lipSj,  which  sacred  fire 

From  He&ren'a  high  chancery  hath  touched,  they  hc«r 

Truths  which  their  zeal  tt»tlame«  their  hopes  inspire. 
Give  wingf  to  faith,  and  check  aiHictiou'a  tear. 

When  life  flowed  by,  and,  like  lui  angel,  Death 
Came  to  release  them  to  tbe  world  on  high, 

Praise  trembled  still  on  each  expiring  breath, 
And  holy  triumph  beamed  from  every  eye. 

Then  gentle  hands  their  *  dust  to  dust '  consign ; 

With  quiet  tears,  the  simple  rites  are  said. 
And  here  they  sleep,  till  at  the  trump  divine 

The  earth  and  ocean  render  up  their  dead,

Mistletoe  ik  GRiMSTnoRi'E  Park  :  A  Large

freely  in  the  hawthorns  imd  other  trees  in  Grima-

found  elaewhere  in  the  neighbourhood.  People 
have  been  nccnslomed  to  come  from  long  diatancea, 
especially  from  London  and  Mimchester,  in  order 
to  gather  the  mistletoe,  .and  have  brought  with 
them  carta  to  ciirry  ot!'  the  spoil.     Besides  thus 


ccimmitting  a  trea|>ai4s,  they  disturbed  the  red  de«    ! 
in  the  park,  and  j^T^utly  damaged  the  trees.

'*8aid  the  Lord  Chief  Justice,  in  a  recent  cAsa  of

never  knew  what  it  meant;  however,  it  ia  a  term  of  op*

In  the  Slang  Diciwrmrfj  (Hotten)  it  is  attempted 
to  be  shown  that  cud  is  a  corruption  ot  cadger.  It 
Jilso  states  that  "the  exiilusivea  at  the  English

Genealogical. — In  an  examination  lately  of 
quite  a  niaaa  of  MS.  pedigrees  of  the  numerous 
ramiticatioite  of  the  Scottish  family  of  Gordon,  in 
search  of  a  Walter  Gordon  who  lived  in  Aberdeen- 
abirc  in  the  earlier  part  of  the  seventeenth  century 
('say  alwut  1612),  it  has  struck  iiio  as  remarkiible 
that  this  baptismal  name  occurs  only  twice  in  the 
many  centuries  enil>niced  in  the  pedigrees  :  in  the 
one  case,  the  name  of  a  son*  of  Gordon  of  Bel- 
domie,  and  married  to  a  lady  of  the  name  of 
Lyon ;  and  in  the  other,  the  name  of  one  of  the  two 
natiind  sons  of  AVilliam  (iordon,  the  lajst  R.  C. 
Bishop  of  Aberdeen.  We  know  that  this  second 
Walter  succeeded  his  elder  brother  John  in  cer- 
tnin  real  property  in  Old  Aberdeen,  witliin  the 
Chanonry,  probably  the  gift  of  the  bishop,  if  we

DAvro  CtArrick*s  Book-Plate, — Some  time 
ago  I  bought  at  WoK^ester  a  well-preserred  copy 
of  an  English  translation  of  Cicero's  LtUerx,  in 
3  vok.,  **printecl  for  R.  Dodsley  in  Pall  Mall, 
1753,"  which,  I  iimy  reasoniibly  believe,  once 
belonjfed  to  the  great  actor,  for  it  contains  on  the 
inside  of  the  binding  of  the  first  volume  his  book- 
plate. "David  Garrick"  ia  engraved  in  clear 
letters  in  the  centre  of  a  shield-like  frame  of 
flowering  tracery,  beiirinjj;,  tit  the  upper  sides  and 
at  the  bottom^  symbols  of  the  mimetic  art — the 
mask,  jester's  head,  &c.  At  the  top  of  the  frame 
are  the  head  and  shoulders  of  Shakspeare,  after  the 
"  Chandos  ^  type,  and,  although  the  engpavini,'  is 
so  smaOj  the  traditional  earring  is  plainly  dia- 
ceraible.  Under  the  outline  of  the  frame  is 
printed  the  following  :  — 

"L»  prtmitPO  chose  qu*on  doit  f&iro  quand  on  a 
empninto  un  Hrro,  c'wi  Je  le  lire,  afin  de  pouvoir  le

may,  I  think,  surmiae,  without  any  exaggeration

Various,  —  Would  any  of  the  readers  of 
"  N.  &  Q,"  answer  me  these  questions  1 — 

1 .  What  is  the  meaning  of  "  casting  and 
plashing  "  a  hedge  ?  (N.B.— In  Cornwall  we  aill 
any  fence,  stone  or  otherwise,  which  has  vegeta- 
tion on  it,  a  "  hedge.")  The  latter  word  refers,  I 
believe,  to  taking  turf  from  the  ditch,  and  with  it 
iihapinj^  the  top  of  the  hedge. 

2.  There  is  an  instrument  used  in  the  cultiva- 
tion of  the  wheat  which  is  cidled  in  West  Corn- 
wall an  "  Idiot."  This,  I  am  told,  is  a  corruption 
of  "  Hitch-it."  It  is  the  toothed  instrument  used 
before  the  harrow.     Is  this  derivation  correct  ? 

3.  Is  there  anywhere  a  collection  of  the  mimes 
of  the  various  pies  enten  by  the  Cornish  ?  H:»lli- 
well,  I  think,  in  his  }FesitTn  Coniwallj  mentions 
some  2iKt,  but  does  not  name  them.  The  two 
most  celebrated  in  ti&ry  are  "Starry-gazy"  and 
**Lammy  Pie,"  the  first  consistiDg  of  pilchards, 
with  the  heads  of  the  fishes  gazing  at  the  stur^ 
through  a  hole  in  the  middle  of  the  cnist.  The 
latter  is  mentioned  by  Tregellaa  as  having  been 
given  to  a  Cockney,  \vho,  after  eating  it,  was  told 
that  it  was  made  "  out  of  our  old  goat."  Are  these 
pies  ajwcnrphal,  or  were  they  ever  part  of  the 
staple  food  of  the  Cornish  people  I 

4.  Near  Kedmth  is  a  nune  caUed  "Cook*a

are,  in  his  letter  .to  "  N.  &  Q.,"  2^'^  S.  iv.  465.  Be 
that  (|uestion  tia  it  may,  1  think  Mr.  Kilooub

Affyrtmweie  ikird»j  t.  e,  Gipsies^  from  the  Grimta 
resemblance  of  their  names,  and  the  sitwihirity  of 
Bome  of  their  habits,  as  described  by  Dr.  Wilson. 

Surely  the  AgrfrUr.  were  the  exact  oouDterpart 
of  our  ancient  Lymitours.  Turning;  to  Hall i well

be  culled  the  dark  age 3  of  our  knowledge  of  the

And  Swinburne  {TravcU  through  ilS/kuVi,  Lon-

followed  by  the  present  Gipsies,  tiz.,  fortune  telling, 
itrolliiig  up  and  down,  and  pilfering," 

If  Mr.  KiuRxm  will  refer  to  Simson's  HhL  of 
t!ic  f:tpsi€A,  p.  08,  he  will  obRcrve  that  Gipsies  in 
1506  were  new-comers  to  Scotland.  Tbe  words, 
"fines  noatri  regni  dudiim  whtneratj"  and 
**a%w4?e  menses  hie  versatus, '  admit  of  no  other

"  Who  are  the  Gipsies  ? "  seems  likely  to  re 
a  vcaatu  qu.(cstio,     A  Gipsy  once  told  me  that 
iv.  20  referred  t-o  his  race.     The  idea  is  quiti 
pkuaible  fuq  some  that  have  been  started,  and 
the  merit  of  beginning  at  the  beginning. 

M.  Bataillard  of  Paris,  who  baa  written  b©' 
most  interesting  and  sterling  articles  on  van 
Gipsy  subjects,  and  who  has  devoted  his  life 
the  collection  and  careful  examination  of  a 
masa  of  nwtermlEi  of  nil  ki nds,  haa  long  ago  ^ 
miaed  us  a  book,  which  promises  to  be  a  fit  etfini 
logical  companion  to  Dr.  Pott's  well-known 
on  their  language. 

For  the  latest  ideas  on  the  antiquity   of 
existence  of  the  Gipsies  in  Europe  I  would 
Mr,    Kilgour  to  M.  Butaillard's   letter   in 
Btiue  Critique,  Sept.  25,  Oct.  2  and 9,  1875,  **l

probably  the  best.  Still,  the  holm-oak  might  be 
called  a  "  monumental "  tree,  just  as  a  yew  or  a 
cypress  might,  from  its  sombre  colour,  sempervi- 
rency,  and  suitability  for  association  with  gntves 
and  monuments  ;  and  I  once  thought  this  epithet 
was  used  to  diHtinguiah  the  tree  from  the  '*  forest- 
oak"  of  P.  L.,  I.  612,  or  from  the  oak  simple  :  nor 
is  it  irrelerant,  in  reply  to  a  gentleman  like  Mr. 
Menzies,  who  declareH  that  "  no  reason  is  known,'* 
to  state  some  three  or  four  admissible  reasons  for 
using  a  particular  word.  II  Ptnscrom  -wvla  written 
before  Milton  went  abroad,  so  that  he  was  not 
using  Italian  memories. 

Every  observer  can  testify  to  the  truth  of  SFr. 
Colltsh's  remarks  upon  the  eliu  ;  liut  if  their 
truth  were  not  bo  obvioitB,  he  would  be  a  i>old  ninn 
who  should  say  that  a  particular  avenue  or  tree, 
described  sonie  34(*  years  ago,  was  not,  to  all  jxietic 
intents,  star-proof.  Though  I  have  seen  many 
lightning-stricken  trees,  I  doubted  whether  I  could 
vouch  for  the  tnith  of  the  epithet  "  singed."  If 
Mr.  Collins  can  do  thi?^,  the  further  question  as 
to  tlie  top  of  th(  oal  bein^  singed  seems,  practi- 
callv,  settled.  For  it  is  sjiid  further  on  in  the 
review  that  *'  a  tree,  to  take  fire  at  all,  must  be 
old,"  and  that  '*  lightning  selects  the  finest  and 
largest  of  living  trees,  whose  wood  is  too  green  to 
bum,"  Tbi^,  coupled  with  the  admission  of  "a 
jjort  of  baldness"  to  which  the  oak  is  liable,  and 
which  is  admirably  described  byShakspeare  in  A$

Americanlsms  (5*  S.  iv.  404.)— Mr.  Pberlet 
makes  the  mistake,  by  no  means  uncommon,  of 
treating  as  Americanisms  btul  English  used  by  an 
Americxm,  There  are  three  kinds  of  American' 
isms,  and  I  think  only  three,  which  are — 

1.  New  words  or  old  words  in  a  new  sense,  u.*red 
to  express  something  in  the  ideas  or  experiences 
of  a  new  countryj  not  tersely  or  adequately  ex- 
pressed by  any  English  word  in  iU  ordinary  sense. 
Such  words  or  expressions,  when  once  used,  fre- 
quently spread  over  the  whole  country,  sometimes 
with  great  rapidity,  and  are  at  once  adopted,  be- 
cause they  supply  a  recof^ni/ed  want.  Words 
originating  in  this  way  arc  no  more  liable  to  criti- 
eitiiu  than  a  new  scieutilic  term  applied  to  a  new 
discovery  in  science. 

2.  Local  Americanisms— such  as  *' grup,"  in 
New  England,  and  *'  reckon,"  in  the  South,  for 
"  think."  Such  localisms  are  no  more  numerous 
in  America  than  in  England,  as  1  know  from  fa-

3.  Ameiican  sLing.  This  class  of  words,  or 
rather  this  dialect,  seems  to  be  a  kind  of  rcTised 
and  improved  Billingsgate,  with  less  malice  and 
more  vulgar  wit  thim  the  original,  and  may  be 
heard  at  any  railway  station  or  steamboat  landing, 
as  it  was  by  Mr.  Dickens,  and  might  almost  ho 
mistaken  for  tlic  language  of  the  common  |)eople. 

Only  two  of  the  words  given  by  Mr.  Presley 
in  his  long  list  fall  under  either  of  these  heads. 
These  are  "mop-boanl,"  the  origin  of  which  is 
obvious,  and  "  tumble-bug."  "Tumble-bug"  is  a 
name  popularly  given  to  a  kind  of  beetle.  When 
storing  its  food,  it  works  it  up  into  such  a  shai^e 
that,  when  grasped  tightly,  it  makes  with  its  own 
body  a  round  ball.  It  then  grasps  in  turns  in  the 
right  direction,  and  gives  a  kick,  frequently  rolling 
over  M-ith  its  load  five  or  six  times,  and  then  re- 
peats tlic  operation  until  its  hole  is  reached.  The 
openition  is  a  curious  and  interesting  one.  Hence 
the  name.  Henry  T.  Nile.

common  form  of  greeting  in  England  in  the  middle

quite  strangers,  meet,  and  after  a  little  talk  one

"L.VDY-HELP8"  (5^  S.  iv.  306,  375.)— A.  J.  M., 
in  speaking  of  this  fooli.sh  expression  (p.  375), 
makes  a  serious  mistake  both  m  the  origin  and 


meaning  of  the  word  **  help,"  as  lued 

"Yankees."    In  everv  new  conntiy,  __^ ^. 

country  like  New  JSnglond,  the  first  lettk^ 
from  the  nature  of  the  case,  need  belp^  ud  li 
get  it  must  help  each  other.  When  ih»  iaat 
is  felled,  the  trees  ("logs")  mnst  be  n^n- 
gether  to  be  burned.  One  man  cannot  dotk^ 
and  there  are  no  "servants"  to  employ,  ha 
the  necessity  of  the  case,  the  neiehbomi 
and  help  each  other  to  "roll  tlu  1^^" 
both  the  word  "help"  and  <Mog  roUing,'* 
extensively  used  in  American  politics  to  d^ 
rocterize  a  combination  of  the  friends  of 
measures  to  carry  them  all  through  a  legiibtii 
body. 

Again,  a  man  would  frequently  employ  the 
of  his  neighbour  to  "  help"  hia  own  son  to  do 
work  on  his  little  farm,  both  young  men  pri 
spending  all  their  leisure  time  in  prepariaK 
college,  and  each  expecting  one  day  to  bePicaU 
of  the  Unite<l  States,  the  birtliright  of  ci^ 
"  Yankee  "  boy. 

The  idea  of  "master"  and  "servant 
neither  of  their  heads.  If,  instead  of  '')ad 
help,'*  the  term  "  ser^'ant "  should  be  used,  ttir 
would  bo  Avar  between  these  embryo  presidenti 

This  was  the  actual  position  of  such 
"Webster  and  Chase  in  early  life. 

Let  me  assure  A.  J.  M.  that  "  help  "  is  aa 
word,  with  an  honest  origin,  however  afiectiii 
may  have  become  since  it  crossed  the  water.

not  seem  to  be  any  reason  why  her  brother  shod 
not  have  shared  in  these  kindly  attentions.    Wik 
regard  to  her  brother's  conduct  in  relation  to  lb 
Leonanl's  legacy,  I  read  the  matter  in  a  i*}! 
different  light,  and   do    not   imagine  that  lb.

the  ap|>earance  of  Middle  Templak's   note  at

overlooked  or  neglected  hia  acoount  of  the  Tenb^^

simply  to  show   that  traces  survive  of  a  rustu 
mystery   play,  once   characteristic   of  Christmoil 
festivities  throuy;}iout  the  land^  but  now  rapidly! 
sinking  into  oblivion,  and  even  at  Tenby  *^{iiAi 
going  to  deci»y  "  in  1B57,  nearly  twenty  years  ago,; 
The  cause  of  this  is  not  far  to  seek.     The  rise  i»j 
the  wages  of  lubour,  the  facilities  alforded  for  loco^j 
motion  and  change  of  place,  have  made  the  agri- 
cultUTfkl  labourer  so  refltleaa  that  he  ia  constantly  oi»J 
the  move,  and  seldom  remains  in  the  some  piiictf] 
for  more  than  one  or  two  years.    Local  habits 
associatioDs  are  thus  broken  up.    The  people  of  a] 
district  become  stmngers  to  each  other,  and  no 
longer  cultivate  the  same  social  relations  as  hereto- 
fore.    Up  to  last  year,  when  I  wrote,  a  few  young 
nien   in  a  quiet   rural   valley  of  Roxbur«hahire> 
ten  miles  from  any  town,  and  about  the  same  dia-l 
tancc  from  a  railway  station,  still  continued  to 
make  the  round  of  the  parisn,  in  their  ordinary 
working  dresg,  aJHng  themselves  Guisards,  singing 
a  soDg  or  two  in  the  kitchen,  and  then  passing  oa ; 
to  the  next  house.    This  year  even  that  praetio*^ 
has  ceased.     Not  a  aingle  party  has  appeared,  aU 
though  the  seoaon  has  been  ojieJi  and  the  nighta 
often  Une.    Among  the  many  useful  services  ren- 
dered to  literature  by  "  N.  &  Q.,"  not  the  least 
valuable  is  that  of  storing  up  incidents  of  folk-lor&  j 
and  vestiges  of  old  customs,  now  rapidly  duiappear-. 
ing  before  the  accelerated  march  of  a  civilization 
that  bids  fair  to  reduce  all  our  ways  to  the  nam* 
dead  level.     Of  tlie  old  customs  connected  with 
the  season,  only  that  of  Hogmanay  survives.    The 
chOilren  go  their  rounds  for  cakes  and  penoe  on  the

In  the  Mcmoin  of  Elixabtth  Hamilton^  by  Miss

the  pension  on  the  Irish  Establishment  which  Mr.

Sir  Hardross  Waller,  but  were  then,  with  those  of 
the  other  regicides,  confisnatcd,  and  grsinted  to  the 
Duke  of  York.  When  the  private  estate  of  King 
James  was  sold  in  1703-4,  my  ancestor  bought 
this  portion,  and  iit  was  then  charged  with  unnuities 
to  ArabeUa  anioiinting  in  the  whole  to  Hnf.  a

I  presume  other  lots  were  similarly  charged.

Coin  Imfrkssions  on  Bells  (5**  S.  iv.  sriC, 
473.)— This  is  a  subject  wluch  has  often  been 
referred  to  in  "  N,  &  Q*"  i  but  biw  it  ever  been 
questioned  where  the  said  coins  on  bells  are  real 
coins  or  impressions  only  ?  In  olden  times  pious 
persona  threw  gold  and  silver  ornnments  into  the 
molten  metal  as  votive  otTerings,  The  metiil  of  the 
great  bell  of  Burmah,  after  it  was  broken  up,  was 
sjiid  to  be  worth  66,565?.,  and  pieces  of  gold  and 
silver  were  said  to  be  traceable,  unmelted,  in  the 
metal.  At  the  present  day  coin;*  are  put  beneath 
foundation  stones  of  great  buUdin^Fs.  Now,  is  it 
not  possible  that  rc<!tore,  churchwardens,  and  others 
concerned  woidd  gladly  furnish  a  coin  for  their 
belJ  ?  If  coins  were  placed  upon  the  mould,  would 
the  molten  metal  not  gather  them  up,  as  it  were, 
nod  present  them  to  view  for  j:jenei"utions  ns  the 
votive  oflerinj^s  of  those  concerned  in  getting  the 
beil  cast  ?  If  they  nre  impressions  only,  why  so  f 
There  would  be  no  "  virtue  "  in  an  impression  (?). 
I  have  seen  coins  on  bells  presenting  the  obverse 
nnd  reverse  of  a  Charles  IL  shilling  remfirkably 
clear  and  distinct.  Would  the  mould  take,  and 
the  bell-metal  present,  a  clear  and  distinct  im* 
pression  \  EagLK. 

Impressions  of  coins  are  found  so  frequently 
upOQ  church  hells  that  an  attempted  list  of  in- 
stances wguld  be  much  too  long  for  the  cohirans  of 
*'  N.  &  (}."  In  Leicestershire  alone  I  find  English 
coins  dating  from  the  fifteenth  century  to  the  reign 
of  George  III.  At  North  Kilworth,  in  that 
county,  there  are  impressions  of  a  coin  of  John  V. 
of  Portugal. 

A  reference  to  the  printed  lists  of  inscnptiona 
on  church  bells  wiH  supply  very  many  instances.

The  "GLiiiTs'  Graves"  at  Penrith  {o***  S. 
iv.  44,  f)5.) — There  is  an  old  engraving  of  this 
monument  in  which  wild  boars  are  represented 
on  the  slabs,  which  stand  edgewise  between  the 
columns.  I  think  the  artist  must  have  drawn 
largely  upon  his  imtigination  ;  at  least,  when  I  saw 
the  intones,  more  than  thirty  years  ago,  there  wns  no 
device  visible  beyond  a  sort  of  rude  crcnelation. 
The  upright  monoliths  are  sculptured  with  orna- 
ments, amongst  which  the  qutitrefoil  is  most  con- 
spicuous. They  are  about  12  ft,  high,  and  stand 
about  15  ft  apart.      W.  J.  BERiraARD  Smith.

Leases  for  99  or  099  Years  (5»*  S.  iv.  289,

atanding  thereon.  Now  I  could  never  conceive 
irhy  Sir  Oswald  did  not  originally  make  the  p^rant

have  allowed  the  leaseholders  another  twelve

it  followed  some  weeks  later.  He^ives  the  liat  of

reached  London  of  the  check  General  Hodgson 
had  received,  the  nation  seemed  displeased,  not 
havinj^^  he«*n  accustomed  of  late  to  rebuffs  of  this

Uosfcration,  "  It  is  the  custom  in  sevend

^  In  the  sixteenth  century,  the  date  on  which  the 
French  swains  paid  their  devoirs  t^^  the  nymphs 
waa  not  on  our  Valentine's  Bay,  but  Innocents'  Day, 
or  ChOdermaa,  the  28th  of  Deceuiber.  The  former 
took  upon  themf5elve.s  the  right  to  enter,  on  the 
morning  of  the  anniversary,  the  houses  of  friends 
and  neighbours,  and,  wherever  they  found  a  nymph 
fttill  in  bed,  they  proceeded  to  administer  a  chas- 
tisement for  her  luziness.  Of  course  this  could  be 
avoided  by  timely  rising ;  yet  occ^isionally  there 
were  daring  damsels  who  remained  snugly  and 
defiantly  in  bed,  but  these  claimed  exemption  from 
the  penalty  by  exhibiting  the  arras  of  France 
nairite<i  upon  them  in  a  way  which  Voltaire  and 
lUbehiia  would  hiive  been  delighted  to  describe, 
and  which  "  N.  &  (.)"  need  not  attempt. 

In  Lorraine  and  Bar  the  custom  of  couples  be- 
coming each  other's  Valentino  prevailed  at  the 
ducal  court  as  well  as  it  did  in  villages,  where  it 
is  still  said  to  linger.  In  the  accounts  of  the  ducal 
household  at  Nancy  there  is  the  entry  of  a  sum 
expended  by  the  Duke  Charles  III.  for  a  gift  to 
the  Counteis  of  Salm,  "  who  had  been  hi*  Valen- 
tine." This  was  very  common  on  this  aide  the 
Channel  in  the  seventeenth  nentur>'. 

In  that  century^  in  the  year  1669,  tlie  Paris 
publisher,  CI,  Barbier,  put  forth  an  oct-avo  uf  a 
himilred  and  twenty-six  page?,  called  Valtiiiifut^ 
QucMimis  (rAmoiir  ti  anirej  I*u€eg  Galantfn,  Ac- 
cording to  the  preface,  the  writing  of  such  pieces 
of  love  and  gallantry  was  of  a  remote  origin  : — 

*' The  play  of  Vdontinea  \fna  inreTit'd  jv  lon^  time

vcnified-  Those  upon  which  I  have  put  luy  hand  are 
tij  be  fuund  in  this  hook.  Now,  the  aport  or  gamo  of 
ValentiucB,  to  be  played  properly,  must  be  played  in 
this  way.  The  written  naioes  of  thirty  men  nnd  thirty 
women  mu«t  be  put  into  sixty  different  piecos  ot  paper  ;

*♦  Mttus  life  by  the  computation  of  Astrologeri,  it 
divided  into  seaven  ages :  over  every  one  of  which,  one 
of  tbe  seavcn  planets  is  predominant :  the  lirst  age  is 
called  infancie,  which  continueth  the  epace  of  seaven 
j^earei.  And  then  the  Mooae  raigneth,  as  appeareth  by 
the  moyst  const! tntions  of  childrea,  agreeing  weli  with 
the  influence  of  that  planet. 

"The  leoond  kge  named  childhood,  lasteth  seaven 
yeares  more,  and  endeth  in  the  fourteenth  tf  our  life. 
Over  this  age,  Mercurie  (which  b  the  second  sphere) 
ruloth  ;  for  then  cbiUrou  are  unconstaut,  tractable,  and 
Boon«  enclined  to  tearne. 

"  The  third  age  endtireth  eight  yeareSr  and  is  termed 
the  at  rippling  age  :  It  begin  noth  at  the  fourteenth  years, 
and  continueth  until  the  end  of  the  two  and  twentieth. 
During  which  time,  governtth  the  planet  Venus :  For 
then  wo  are  prone  to  tirorlijralit)^  gluttonie,  drunkeu- 
De8ffe«  lechery,  and  sundry  kintJei  of  vicea. 

"*The  fourth  age  contayneih  twche  yeares,  till  a  man 
be  foure  and  thirtie,  and  then  is  hi  named  a  young  man. 
Uf  this  age  the  Sunno  is  cblefe  Lord :  Now  a  man  is

a  ji^roration,  and  the  warmest  expression  of  his 
feelings.  I  have  italicized  the  most  striking 
clauses  in  the  quotation,  becaiu»e  they  would  be 
Eilmoat  aa  applicable  in  the  mouth  of  a  Christian 
sjicaking  of  Christ,  us  they  were  in  the  mouth  of 
Mill  speaking  of  Mn,  Taylor.  And  yet  this  man, 
whose  mind  is  amongst  the  keenest  this  century 
has  produced,  failed  to  perceive  that  he  had  fallen, 
into  thiit  position  which  he  atfected  to  despise. 
jUthongh  he  had  deliberately  iset  a^ide  the  adora- 
tion of  God,  yet,  being  a  man,  he  must  obtain 
some  objective  rule  of  Hfe  ;  and  this  he  fouml  in 
the  approbation  of  the  admirable  lady  whom  he

"  Afternoos  Tea." — In  a  Inte  number  of 
(%nnlter/i  Journal  (Nov.  20,  IS75)  it  is  asserted 
that  "afternoon  tea  is  a  product  of  advanced  civi^ 
lizjition  "  :  this  little  meal  being  generally  sup- 
po»«od  to  have  first  corae  into  vogue  during  the 
hist  decadfi  or  so.  Like  many  other  presumed 
novelties,  however,  it  is  merely  the  reviviU  of  a 
custom  of  the  last  century.  Dr.  Alexander  Car-

Thf,  SorTHEHsr  Crobs. — A  note  on  the  late 
Mr,  R.  S.  Hawker'H  Qtu^^st  of  Ike  Sangraa!^  p.  ^J2, 
informs  us  that  th**ro  ia  an  ancient  legend  to  the 
effect  that  the  star  which  guided  the  wise  men  to 
the  infant  Saviour  wiu*  not  a  singh"  «tar,  but  the 
five  stars  which  make  up  the  Southern  Cross. 
Thei*e  stars,  it  is  held,  were  miraculously  created 
on  that  occasion.  This  is  pretty  as  a  legend,  but 
I  gather  from  some  expressions  in  the  note  that 
some  persons  are  inclined  to  petrifjr  the  poetry 
thereof  into  a  phy&ical  fact.  Will  aome  one, 
learned  in  the  history  of  astronomy,  tell  us  when 
the  Southern  Cross  h  first  mentioned?  1  have  a 
strong  impression  that  we  have  records  of  it  far 
earlier  thaa  the  birth  of  our  Loni.  Glis.

How  JItths  Arise. — A  few  weeks  ago  a  lady 
told  me  in  all  seriousness  that  the  Prince  of  Wides 
bad  bought  from  ^Ir.  Plimpton  his  patent  for 
roller  skates,  and  that  threepence  out  of  every 
sixpence  paid  at  the  rinka  for  the  use  of  skates 
went  to  the  Prince.  The  story  was  too  absurd  for 
me  to  give  it  a  moment's  credence,  and  I  could 
only  wonder  how  it  hud  found  its  way  into  people's 
mouths.  This  morning  (Dec.  IS),  however,  1  found 
a  very  probable  solution  of  the  difficulty  in  the 
advertisement  columns  of  the  iJaily  News,  for 
there,  in  an  advertisement  of  a  skating-rink  com- 
pany in  the  process  of  fonnation^  I  read  the  follow- 
ing :  — 

"  It  ii  iiiiendcd  to  uie  the  *  Plimpton  *  patent  skate, 
under  an  agreement  entered  into  vrith  Messrs.  Prince,  of 
Prince's  Club,  who  are  identified  with,  and  hold  an  intereat 
ia,  the  patent."

money  matters  with  the  tax-collector  of 
trict,  who  soon  afterwards  disappeared, 
strong  suspicion  arose  that  the  priest  had 
dcred  the  man.  About  the  same  time  a 
executed  for  highway  robbery,  and  his  bodj] 
gibbeted  in  chains  by  the  roadside,  as 
(1650)  the  custom.  The  friends  of  the  hij 
man  ciune  one  night  and  took  his  body  d 
that  they  might  bury  it  ;  but,  being  disti 
they  threw  the  body  into  a  pond  near  the 
residence.  Shortly  ftfter,  some  men  io  _ 
the  pond  for  fish  brought  up  the  body  in  tbdri 
and  it  %va8  immediately  said  to  be  the  body

Sm  Pkter  Lklt.— In  a  work  which  has  acci- 
dentally fallen  under  my  notice,  entitled  ii/<j  mid 
Writings  of  Comtaniint  lihodoMuahe^  there  is  a 
portrait  of  this  well-known  physictaD»  which  is 
said  to  be  after  an  original  of  Sir  Peter  Lely.  The 
learned  doctor  is  represented  in  the  robes  of  an 
order  of  knighthood,  and  with  the  insignia  of 
royalty.  What  proof  is  there  ihat  Sir  Peter  ever 
painted  such  a  portrait  ?  The  inteirnal  evidence  is 
against  such  being  the  fact.  iJr.  Ehodocanak© 
came  to  England  to  earn  his  livelihood  aa  honestly 
as  possible,  and  is  not  likely  to  have  subjected 
himself  to  the  imjiutntion  of  being  a  charlatan  or 
builbon.  Had  lie  ever  claimed  the  title  of 
**  imperial  higbnes.?/'  or  appeared  in  such  a 
masquerade  costume,  surely  we  should  have  heard 
of  these  pretensions  through  the  diarists  of  that 
period.  The  portrait  appears  to  me  to  bear  every 
evidence  of  imposture,  the  intention,  no  doubt, 
being  to  transform  the  poor  alcheralit  of  Lely's 
time  into  a  personage  of  important,     P.  K.  A,

warded him  throu;fh  the  editor,  asking  for  such, 
was  returned  by  the  Post  Office,  having  failed  to 
Tench  him. 

pKTars  8Ay«  that  he  holds  a  copy  of  a  Eml  D*- 
Epaeho  (letter  of  nobility)  given  \jo  a  gentleionn 
nacneii  John  O'Neill,  living  at  I^Iallorca,  in  *Spaia. 
which  fchow«  that  he  is  the  male  represenlutive  of 
the  hou«;e  of  the  O'Neills  of  Tyrone.  The  genea- 
logy in  this  document  he  says  is  **  traced  up  to  one 
Terence,  brother  to  one  John  O'NeiU/'  who  is 
stated  to  have  died  in  Spain  without  iaaue,  after 
having;  been  received  by  the  king  with  ;^eat  dis- 
tinction ;  and  he  makes  the  inquiry,  "Who  is  thi£- 
John  O'Neill  and  his  brother  Terence  ]  Can  thejr 
be  sons  of  the  jfreut  Hu;;h  1 " 

BIr.  BoKAJ'ARTK-Wy.^E  is  acquainted  with  this 
genealo^ry,  and  snvs  it  "  regards  exclusively  John 
(Shane)  O'Netll,  thirtl  son  of  Hugh  O'Neill,  Karl 
of  Tyrone,"  &c.  But  to  do  so  it  should  l>e  clearly 
hhown  that  John  had  a  brother  named  Terence  or 
Turla^'h.  I  have  looked  over  some  authorifJca  be- 
sides those  given,  and  have  failed  to  find  any  such 
name  amongst  the  Bona  of  the  Earl,  legitimate  or 
illegitimate.  The  five  le^timate  sons  were  named 
Hugh,  Henry,  John,  Bnon,  and  Con.  Only  one 
inegitimate  son  is  mentioned,  and  he  was  another 
Con.  It  therefore  appenrs  vcrj'  doubtful  that  this 
letter  of  nobility  haa  any  reference  to  the  third 
son  of  the  Earl, 

I  think  Mr.  Bonapartb-Wtsb  has  been  misled 
by  a  paper  in  the  Journal  of  the  Kilkenny  ArchrFO^ 
logical  tSodety  for  April,  18G6,  wTitten  by  the 
respected  M.  de  k  Ponce,  of  Toure,  wlilch  asaumea 
that  Earl  Hugh  had  two  natural  sona,  viz.,  "  Tur- 
lotigh  Bnisilagh,  (I  the  comma)  O'Neill's  son,"  and 
Con.  The  authorities  given  for  the  assumption 
are  Fynea  Moryson  and  the  *4  nnak  of  ilu  Four 
Mitxten^  p.  029,  recti'  C5J>.  On  referring  to  them, 
I  find  that  the  hitter  means  only  a  note  by  the 
erlitor,  and  that  the  former  (Moryaon)  ia  the  rerd 
authority.  Giving  an  account  of  the  Earl's  army 
in  horae  and  foot,  he  saya,  **Turlofjh  Bnusirs  sons, 
GO ''  (horse).  Again,  "  Turlogh  Brasil's  sons,  2(10  " 
(foot).  These  words  the  note  in  the  Four  Mtutertj 
under  heading  **  Forces  of  O'Neill  in  16(M>/'  gives, 
in  the  first  inatance,  as  "Torlogh  Bra^ilagh 
O'KeUr.H  son,"  and,  in  second,  "Torlogb  Bnwdagh's 
aons."  But,  in  f:ict,  neither  authority  would  war- 
rant the  constmction  put  upon  it  by  M.  de  la 
Ponce,  who  evidently  wa«  led  astray  by  the  note 
in  the  Four  Masl^rtt  M  any  one  writing  in  a 
foreign  laDguage  niipht  easily  he.  I  may  remafk 
here  that  Turlagh  Bnusilagh  was  not  the  boBe  son 
of  the  Earl,  but  the  legitimate  son  of  Felim  Caech, 
the  eldest  mn  of  Con  Baccagh,  Lord  of  Cinel  Eog- 
hajn,  and  firet  Earl  of  Tyrone, 

With  respect  to  Don  Felix,  I  would  be  glad  to

taching  him  to  the  Fews  brancli,  m  Mr.  Bon'A- 
FARTe-\Vy6e  suggests,  might  be  done,  but  only 
on  verj'  clear  proow.  There  w  a  descent  given  in 
O'Donovan's  Foxir  Miultrs  of  this  bmncb  showing 
thut  Art,  Pecond  son  of  Sir  Turlagh  of  the  Feivs^ 
hud  a  son  named  Turlagh,  who  married  And  died, 
apparently  in  Ireland,  intestate,  after  whose  death 
his  Bon  and  heir  Arthur  took  out  letters  of  ad- 
piinistration,  and  entered  into  posjiession  of  his 
Droperty.  Arthur  married,  and  had  two  sons:  (1) 
WeaJ  and  (2)  Owen.  Of  the  latter,  no  i«sue  is 
given,  but  Neal  hud  a  son  who  was  living  in  1768. 
In  this  descent  there  is  scarce  any  roonij  iis  I  read 
it,  for  attaching  Don  Felix  to  Art,  second  son  of 
Turlagh  of  the  Fews, 

In  the  Gc7itlttfMn\  Magazine  for  1791  there  h 
noted  the  death,  at  Madrid,  of  Don  Carlos  Felix 
O'Neill,  aged  1  H\  He  waa  held  in  great  estima- 
tion by  the  Spanish  king,  was  a  lieut.-geneml, 
and  Governor  of  the  Havannah.  He  is  stated,  in 
the  obituary  notice,  to  have  been  a  son  of  Sir 
Neal  O'Neill,,  who  tlied  of  wounds  received  at  the 
Boync,  &c.  But,  if  a  son  of  hia  at  all,  he  could 
only  have  been  an  illegitimate  one,  m  Sir  Neal 
left  no  male  issue,  and  was  succeeded  in  his  title 
by  hl:^  brother  DanieL  Could  the  Don  Felix  of 
the  Archbishop's  memoir,  and  the  above  Don 
Carlos  Felix,  be  identical/ 

I  regret  that  neither  of  the  replies  alludes  to  the 
family  ennobled  under  the  title  of  Mart^uis  de  la 
GMuija,  and  which  still  exists  in  Spain.  I  am 
very  deairous  to  learn  its  descent,  whether  from 
Hugh,  the  illegitinaate  (?)  son  of  John,  tbird  son 
of  the  Earl,  who  was  skin  at  St»  Flew  in  1641,  or 
from  Major-Gencral  Hugh,  of  Clonmel  and 
Limerick  celebrity,  or  from  whom  else. 

As  to  the  statement  that  the  O'Neills  of  Fmnce 
have  "  very  serious  grounds  to  claim  their  descent 
from  Hugb,  Earl  of  Tyrone/'  I  would  beg  to  re- 
mark that,  unleas  the  grounds  relied  on  are  dif- 
ferent from  those  put  forward  by  M.  de  la  Ponce 
in  April,  186fi,  they  cannot  be  looked  upon  us 
satisfactory-,  the  late  Mr,  Pinkerton  having  shown 
their  value  in  the  Journal  of  the  Kilkcnjvj  Ardi(ro- 
lo^ical  Socidif  for  April,  1867, 

Of  the  Portuguese  family  I  was  not  aware  till  I 
saw  the  comraunieation  of  Petrus,  and  I  would 
gl&dly  learn  the  particuhira  of  its  descent,  as  al.so 
where  a  copy  of  the  Eml  Desjxicho  and  memoir 
by  Archbishop  MacMabon  could  he  seen. 

I  fully  agree  with  Mit.  Bonaparte-Wyse  that 
the  '* ©aaential  point"  for  all  the  members  of  a 
femily  to  establish  h  that  they  are  ''  scions  of  the 
true,  recognized,  and  authentic  stock/'  But  to  do 
this,  not  only  must  their  own  descent  from  Patrick, 
Hugh,  or  John  be  clearly  sho'WTi,  but  also  that  of 
Patrick,  Hugh,  or  John  themselves  from  the 
parent  stock.  Tm  Ecw?haix\ 


'"Coming  throctgh  the  rte"  (5***  S.

aong  may  aeem  irreconcilable  with  mine,  1 
only  because  his  authority,  Stenhouse,  yn

jDriginal  words  of  "Comin'  thro'  the

ferent  rersiona  of  the  song.  The  version 
now  to  l>e  found  tn  the  Worhi  of  Burns 
oe  given  in  Johnwon's  Mu»enTrij  which 
lirough  the  hands  of  Burns  ;  hut  the  song 
some  form  or  other,  was  known  long 
ni«.  Ae  regards  the  conjecture  of  Scoto- 
that  by  "r^e"  is  meant  n  rivulet  in 
that  is  OGFtjiinly  a  novel  idea,  A  refer- 
he  song  itself  will,  I  think,  settle  the 
Scotland,  at   the  period  when  the  r}'e 


has  attained  a  good  height,  a  deal  of  rain  ftiUs,  and* 
we  know  that,  when  the  fair  sex  have  to  traverse  a 
field  by  o  path  between  standing  rye  v^hen  it  is 
wet,  the  lower  {garments  would  natuniUy  become 
very  much  saturated,  or,  as  the  song  has  it, 
•*  She  dralglot  a*  her  petticoitie, 
Comitig  through  the  rye." 

One  cau  imagine  also  that,  going  with  a  fair 
companion  through  a  rye-tield,  the  temptation 
might,  to  many  youthful  mind;*,  be  strong  to  take 
a  ki*<3  from  their  sweetheart  ;  but  one  can  vscarcely 
believe  such  a  thing  occuniug  to  any  one  in 
wading  through  a  rivulet,  G.  W,  Napier. 

Alderiej  EJge. 

Scoto-Americus  asks  if  thl^  is  a  field  of  grain 
or  a  rivulet  in  Ayrshire  called  the  Rye.  As  the 
question  comes  from  a  far  country,  it  ought  to  be 
attended  to.  I  never  heard  before  of  the  idea  of 
its  being  a  stream.  1  have  seen  miiny  editions  of 
BuroK,  and  I  have  never  seen  rye  spelt  with  a 
capitrii  initial :  this  would  seem  to  settle  ihc 
matter.  I  should  certainly  vote  for  its  being  a 
field.  Thomas  Stratton. 

Mr.  CuArrELL  is  wrong  in  supposing  the 
quotation  he  gives  has  anything  to  do  with  the 
ori<}inal  version  of  "Comin'  thro'  the  rye." 
Burns  took  an  old  and  weH-kuown  song  and 
slightly  modiiied  it,  retaining  the  first  verae  un- 
idtered  : — 

**  Jeunie  '*  a*  wnt.  puir  body, 
Jeauie  '«  teldom  dry ; 
Sbe  dnuffelt  a'  her  peitificoatie, 
Coroia*  ihro'  the  rye." 
"Rye"  most  certainly  means  rye,  and  not  a 
river  of  that  name.     lo  the  north  of  Perthshire 
long  ago  they  used  to  sing  another  old  version, 
"  Comin'  thro'  the  broom,"  &c.     All  the  old  ver* 
sions  had  more  wit  than  decency.     The  beat  of 
Burns's    songa,   such    as    "Duncan    Grey"  and 
"  Green  grow   the    rashes,  O ! "  are   talten  from 
well-known  old  Scotch  songs  or  ballads.     J.  H, 

Snowstorms  (5"»  S.  iv.  5 !(».)— The  snowstonn 
of  1U14  is  mentioned  in  nwny  parish  registers,  and 
it  would  be  interesting  to  be  furnished  with  the 
exact  copy  of  the  entry  in  that  of  Wotton  Gilbert, 
mentioned  by  Mb.  James.  The  following  is  from 
a  small  jjamphlet  written  by  me  :— 

*' The  Durham  pariah  regiaters  record  that, 'A  poor

iroxa  the  fact  that  this  poor  womur*  w«a  not  found  till 
nineteen  days  after  ah**  periftheJ  in  tlie  storm.

"  The  great  storm  of  \t}H  appears  to  Lave  dprBud  iU 
thick  coTering  of  crystals  over  all  pwta  of  Englanil,  in 
the  country  and  town,  'to  the  general  tosic  offurmers, 
graiierB^  husbandnion,  and  all  aorts  of  people  in  the 
c'ountrie,  and  no  lc«ae  hurtful  to  cUiaenfl.*  Ilowover,  if 
Bnow8torio§  in  the  cltj  inconveaience  the  people,  it  is 
quite  ft  different  matter  in  the  country,  where  the  tra- 
veller, farmer,  and  ihepherd  are  necessitated  to  traveree 
the  c-xtenaive  moors  and  cross  the  wild  and  exposed 
mountains,  which  proves  a  difficult  matter  iudccd  when 
all  rottdi  are  blocked  up,  fences  overblown,  and  the 
blinding  snow,  carried  by  cold  winds,  precludes  the  ^i^ht 
cf  any  object  which  tiiight  otlierwise  prove  a  landmark 
to  a  lost  wayfarer.  We  need  not  wonder,  then,  thnt 
several  persons  perished,  and  large  numbers  of  cattle  and 
sheep  were  lost,  in  thistbo  greatest  of  unowstorm?,  which 
coutinued  »o  many  vrcclu,  and  was  reported  to  have 
b«en  eighteen  feet  deep  in  the  country,  with  moontainoua 
drifts  never  since  or  before  witnessed. 

**  It  is  thus  rt'corded  in  the  parish  register  of  Youl- 
grave  in  Dcrbythire  :  "Thia  year  U314-6,  Jan.  16,  be>»aTi 
the  greatest  snow  w  hich  ever  fell  uppon  the  earth,  within 
man's  uiemorjo.  It  coverM  the  earth  five  nuarters  deep 
uppon  the  playno.  And  for  heapas  or  drifts  of  snow, 
they  were  very  deep,  eo  that  pauongers,  both  horse  aitd 
foot,  pmsed  over  gates,  hedges,  wiUlcs.  It  fell  at  ten 
leverall  tymes.  and  the  lust  was  the  greatest,  to  the  great 
admiration  and  fear  of  nil  the  land^  lor  it  came  from  the 
foure  parts  of  the  world,  so  that  uU  c'ntryea  were  full, 
yea,  the  sontli  p*te  as  well  at  these  raoontaynrs.  It  con- 
tinued by  daily  encrea^ing  until  the  12th  day  of  M^rcb 
(without  the  pipbt  of  any  earth,  eythcr  upncn  bilks  or 
Talleys),  uppon  w''  daye,  being  the  Lordes  day,  it  began 
to  decrease.'

deepest  ever  known,  did  not  yield  until  26th  Fob.  [he

*♦  Though  snow  was  never  more  plentifal  ia 
than  wt  ihij  time,  the  grcut  storm  was  followc# 
hummer,  at  Ica^t  in  Perbyshire.    The  anticipa 
came,  and  is   thus   recorded  : — '  IGlfK    A  dry 
There  was  no  rayne  fell  ttppon  the  earth  from  tbtl

was  a  phower  ;  after  which  there  fell  none  tyll 
day  of  August.     (After  which  tyme  there  was 
rayne  tippon  the  earth)  so  that  the  greatest  part 
bind,  especially  the  south  p'ta  were  burnt  upp,  bo<lt  i

Cheshyro  had  rayne  enough  throucb  all 
both  come  and  hay  sufficient.    There  wna 
rayne  fell  the  last  winter,  but  snow  only.'  '*

I  ftiii  inilcbted  to  Mr.  Solly  for  some 
inforiuatioa  relative  to  the  great  faU  of 
1614-15.     He  saya  :— 

"  I  would  draw  your  attention  to  a  little  refere-oflil 
the  same  fact  which  is  given  by  Camden  in  fei*  '  H^i 
Regis  Jacobi  I.  Annalium  apparatus  1615  Febr.  i'np* 
iutensum  et  Sin  copiosissima :  prccipud  die  12  et  HwM 

Solu  diaaolutem  ante  12."  Doubtlens  the  fall  ransd  10 
ifTorcnt  parts  of  the  country ;  but  it  must  bhre  tajj 
very  heavy,  or  Camden  would  not  Imve  recorded  it  9m 
begins  alibis  years  on  the  1st  of  January  (not  on  MlH 
Day),  so  I  think,  no  doubt,  that  he  refers  to  the  m^ 
sriow  as  your  old  MS,  Bakor  does  not  mention  tlirf 
winter,  thou|.:h  he  gives  an  account  of  the  hard  wint^ 
tjf  1608,  when  the  Thames  was  frozen  over.  Thisfr 
be  says,  began  in  December  and  lasted  till  the  foUc 
April." 

As  such  information  is  not  easily  obtained 
wanted,  T  venture  to  nguin  ofler  a  suggest 
made  aomo  time  since  in  "  N.  &  Q."     It  wurI 
its  readers  should  send  a  short  not^  of  the 
the  weather  or  roads  at  any  piirticnlar  time  pMj 
to  1750.     Much  light  would  by  that  meanfti" 
thrown  upon  many  luntters  of  history  or 
life  which  are  now  but  imperfectly  und<

Hoa\GARTH  (5*  S.  IV.  207.  378  ;  v.  57.)— I  Jitu 
much  obliged  to  you  for  inserting  my  query  on 
this  subject ;  also  to  those  who  have  so  kindly 
replied  to  it.  They  show  clearly  that  our  his- 
tonnns,  Charlton  nnd  Young,  were  wrong  in  saying 
that  the  Harngiirth  was  in  Whitby  Harbour,  It 
could  not  be  there,  as  the  ti<le  ebbs  and  flows 
regularly  every  day.  Nor  could  it  be  any  staith 
or  wharf  for  shipping  purposes. 

We  certainly  batJ,  in  the  befjinning  of  this  cen- 
tury, four  vilkges  with  township  fields  within  ten 
miles  of  Whitby,  nauielyi  Hinderwell,  Lytbej  and 
Sandaend^  in  Mulgrafe  estate,  and  Rawpaature,  in 
Fyling  I>:iles ;  but  only  Lyth  and  Sandaend  are 
now  used  aa  township  pastures,  as  of  old.  The 
other  two  have  been  enclosed  and  kid  to  the 
neighbouring  farms.  The  pjistures  might  be  ciillcd 
Horngi\rth,  as  the  place  whore  the  homed  aittlc 
were  kept,  or  beoiuae  the  cows  wore  called  to  the 
milking- place  by  the  sound  of  a  horn,  morning  and 
evening ;  but  they  are  not  now  known  by  that 
name,  nor  do  I  think  the  Horngarth  of  the  abbot 
and  those  gentlemen  who  asaisted  in  maintaining 
it  was  a  cottagera*  cow  pasture,  but  the  Buck 
Park,  in  Fyling  Daks,  where  the  abbot  and  hia 
homagcra  kept  deer  till  the  dissolution  of  the 
monastery.  King  Henry  L  and  sevem!  of  his 
successors  bunted  in  it,  and  rewarded  the  abbots 
for  the  privilege,  as  we  see  by  their  several  ch;irtera 
in  the  abbots'  chartularj^  That  park  might  be 
called  the  Horngarth,  because  buck5  are  horneil 
game,  so  distinguished  from  hares   and  winged 

fame,  which  cannot  be  kept  exclusively  in  it  park

the  keepers  generally  claim  as  their  perquisites. 
The  huntsman  also  uses  a  horn  to  control  the

Park  as  wclJ  as  to  a  township  piustiire,  but  cer- 
tainly not  t^  Whitby  Hurbour,  or  to  any  staitli  or 
wharf  for  shipping  uses.  The  Buck  Park  was  in 
Eamsdale,  and  mostly  fenced  in  by  a  stone  wall, 
much  of  which  is  still  standing,  but  dilapidated. 
The  beck  and  boggy  places,  then,  would  require 
wooden  palings  and  hecks,  which  took  much  wood 
and  labour  every  year  to  repair  them  ;  hence 
disputes  and  litigations  occurred.  It  is  aUo 
probable  that  those  who  helped  to  maintain  the 
park  shareil,  to<\  in  the  .sport»  which  even  our 
sovereigns  esteemed  a  great  favour. 

Eamsdale  Beck  runs  through  the  park.  It 
enters  by  ii  full  of  more  than  thirty  feet,  which 
forms  a  Hufficitnt  fence  there ;  but  the  exit  is  on 
the  level,  and  in  now  fenced  by  a  swinging  heck,

defect  of  the  English  language  misleads  those  w

capital  in  "  Begotten "  marks  a  eepiiTat'e  but

universally  slurred.  The  careful  word  in  ^

The  unfortunate  omission  in  most  Prayef 
of  the  comma  after  "  The  Lord,"  is  probabi 
cause  of  the  mistake  so  often  made  by  thoug 
readers.     In  the  Latin  version  it  is  nearly  aI 
ptinted  "  Dominum,  et  viviticantem."     "  G<m 
God"  is  read  by  many  to  show  that  the  "ol 
not  a  mere  genitive,  but  represents  the  f#c  ftn 
of  the  Greek  and  Ltitin,  T.  F.  ',

The  Toothache  ascribed  to  the  Gnawiko 
OF  A  Worm  (6***  S.  v,  24.)— The  idea  which  aaao- 
eiates  the  toothache  with  the  gnawing  of  a  worm 
used  to  prevail  much  further  south  than  the 
Orkney  Islands.  In  my  native  county  of  Aber- 
deen, the  home  of  many  old  aiiperstition.s  and 
customs  not  met  with  in  any  other  part  of  the 
island,  the  toothache  waa,  thirty  years  ago,  and 
I  have  no  doubt  in  mnny  parts  is  still,  designated 
"  the  worm."  I  never  heard  any  one  seriously 
allege  that  the  decay  of  the  tooth  and  the  gnawing 
pain  by  which  it  is  so  frequently  accompanied 
were  produced  by  a  worm,  but  the  exi.'itence  of 
the  term  furni.%he8  pretty  strong  presumptive 
evidence  that  such  a  belief  did  prevail  in  bygone 
ages.  Alexander  Patersok.

for  sounds  of  music  heard  at  a  distance  do  not 
change  their  intervals.  Density  of  medium,  when 
there  i*  continuity,  appears  to  aid  sound,  for  if 
you  scratch  with  a  pin  jit  one  end  of  a  felled  pine-

Some  philosophers  have  said  that  fish  cannot

likely  I  If  soun<l  depends  on  vibration,  the  cessa-

shows  that  the  air  is  not  in  a  state  denser  than 
ordinary,  but  less  dense,  continuity  beinpr  inter- 
rupted both  to  the  eye  and  to  the  ear.  If  vibra- 
tions are  too  slow,  they  convey  no  nound  to  the 
ear  ;  if  they  are  too  rapid,  they  equally  escape  our

for  a  burgkiry  (1  Halt^  P.  C.,  555 :  FosL,  10«  ; 
1  Hawh,  P.  f'.,  c.  38,  5§  11,  12 ;  E.  v,  Bailey, 
i?.  di  R.,  341),  After  entrance  inside  there  h  no 
"  breaking  and  entering,"  and  it  is  precisely  the 
"breaking  and  entering"  which  constitutes  the 
burglary.  What  the  offender  does  afterwards  may 
indeed  be  evidence  of  the  intent  with  which  ho 
broke  and  entered,  bnt  it  does  not  make  the 
breaking  and  entering  criminal  ;  the  entmnce  be- 
came criminal  because  of  the  intent,  not  becruise 
of  the  act.  The  **  forcible  and  iitrocioua  crime"  ii 
conaumraated,  and  therefore  there  can  be  no  "  pre- 
vention" of  it.  But  I  am  ashamed  to  labour 
so  obvioua  a  point.  Mr,  Boulger's  communica- 
tion does  not  appear  to  me  to  call  for  any  special 
reply.  I  have  not,  howcvLT  (he  will  ploaac  note), 
**  conceded  "  anything;;  to  him.  If  I  had  thought 
that  he  wa*'  only  maintaining^  a  specuhition  as  to 
the  verdict  of  a  jury  in  a  particukir  c:ise,  I  ahouid 
not  have  troubled  "  N.  &,  Q.'*  with  a  reply  :  the 
verdicts  of  juries  arc  incomprehensible.  Bnt  I 
inmgined  that  your  correspondent  really  wanted 
to  laiow  how  the  law  stood.  My  opinion  on  that 
head  is  unchanged,  viz.,  that  the  act  is  (upon  prin- 
ciple, and  in  the  absence  of  authority)  not  jti^ttifi- 
able  Louiicide,  that  it  is  certainly  not  mansltiughter, 
uud  that  therefore  it  is  moat  probably  murder. 
By  the  way,  as  a  parting  piece  of  information,  I 
may  tell  Mh.  Botloer  that  murder  \a  not  the 
*'  greatest  crime  in  the  law  l»uok  "  (whatever  that 
may  mean).  Middle  Temp  lab. 

Much  has  been  written  on  this  subject  by  your 
various  correspondents,  but  there  is  one  form  of 
homicide  to  which  no  one  ht^s  adverted,  and 
which  ^eeuiB  to  rue  (o  requirc  some  explanation. 
In  an  article  on  **  Ladies  and  Freemasonry,"  in 
S'**  S.  iv.  103,  it  is  stated  that  a  lady  was  once  con- 
cealed in  a  closet,  from  which  she  could  see  what 
was  p:i5sing  in  a  Masonic  lodge.  She  was,  how- 
ever, discovered,  and  the  narrative  goes  on  to  say, 
''in  the  first  paroxysm  of  rage  and  alarm,  it  was 
said  her  deiith  was  resolved  upon,"  &c.  The  mat- 
ter, however,  was  compromised.  It  h  a  popular 
Siiying  that  a  person,  with  a  drawn  swnrd,  alwnya 
stands  at  the  door  of  a  lodge,  in  order  to  prev^ent 
any  one  but  a  Mo.'ion  from  entering.  I  would  ask,  in 
all  seriousness,  if  the  lady  had  been  put  to  death 
in  the  first  paroxysm  of  rage  and  alarm,  would

Hamilton,*  and  bom  in  London  ;  but  how  she 
uanie  to  have  the  foreign  title  of  Boroneas  I  am 
unable  to  make  out.f  There  were  two  dau;^ht€ra 
born  of  the  marriage,  and  when  they  were  still 
quite  young  (bambtne,  to  use  the  Italian  lady^s 
expresaion),  Captain  Medwin,  hiiving  got  deeply 
into  debt,  ran  away,  and  was  never  seen  or  heard 
of  again.  Fortunately,  his  wife  was  n  great 
favoiirit©  at  the  Court  of  the  then  Grand  Duke  of 
Tuscjiny  (the  Court,  of  Lorraine,  as  it  was  called), 
and  the  Grand  Duchess  took  charge  of  the  two 
little  girl*,  and  had  them  carefully  educated  in  a 
convent  at  Florence.  Some  years  afterwiirds,  the 
wife  of  a  rich  Italian  nobleman,  Count  Fieri  of 
Siena,  being  in  want  of  a  young  lady  who  could 
l>e  a  companion  to  her,  as  she  waa  childless  and 
becoming;  blind,  and  tuiting  a  fancy  to  the  youn^'er 
Miss  Medwin,  induced  her  to  come  and  live  with 
thcra,  and  she  accompanied  them  to  Sienu,  and 
remiiined  with  them  probably  for  some  years. 
Before  .^he  left  Florence,  however,  it  i&  said  that 
the  Grand  Duchess  had  pointed  out  to  Count  Fieri 
that  the  young  lady  would  have  much  less  chance 
of  finding  a  suitable  husband  at  Siena  than  she 
would  at  the  Court  at  Plorence,  and  that  the 
Count,  therefore,  promised  to  find  a  husband  for 
her.  However  this  may  be,  there  in  no  doubt  that 
he  ultimately  did  find  a  husband  for  her,  a  3Iar- 
chese  Nerli,  and  by  him  she  hns  six  children,  five 
sons  and  one  daughter.  The  Marquis  was  himself 
rich,  and  Count  Pieri,t  being  childless,  left  him  all 
his  posfses-^ions,  on  the  condition  that  he  should 
adopt  his  mime  and  title,  and  at  the  present  time 
the  Conte  Fieri  Nerli  has  two  palaces  (I  mefln,  of 
course,  Italian  pahizzi)  and  five  or  six  large  estates. 
The  elder  daughter  al.no  made  a  good  though  a 
less  brilliant  mutch,  for  her  husband's  father  waa 
Cinmd  Chamberlain  to  the  Court  of  Tuscany,  and 
she  has  two  sons. 

It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  Captain  Medwin 
did  the  beat  possilde  thiii^  ho  could  do  for  his 
family  when  he  ran  awuy  from  them,  and  it  in 
certjiinly  remarkable  that  the  descendants  of  a 
runaway  English  cavalry  officer,  who  went  to  Itidy 
merely  for  the  benefit  of  hm  health  (op.  cit,^  p.  1), 
should  become  Itidlian  umrquiHes  and  counts.  I 
need  scarcely  say   that  his    two  daughters  are

TROVOKINO  MISPRINTS. 

L  In  the  itereotype  edition  of  John  Foster's 
celebrated  essay,  On  a  ^fan'^f  iLritinff  Matwirs  of 
Himsdf^  we  read  as  followa  :—

danpcer  in  meeting  him  at  long^th,  after  %  life  etttnmged 
equally  frujKi  his  love  and  hii  fear/* 

Thts  word  '*7iiiture"  should  be  "mature."  The 
beauty  of  a  fine  paaaa^e  is  thus  ?adly  marred  by 
the  omifiston  of  a  third  part  of  a  letter. 

2.  At  the  end  of  bin  eloquent  "  Sketch  "  of  the 
eminent  politician,  William  Windhaiu,  Lord 
liroitgharapiit  together  the  nineteenthand  twentieth 
iind  the  sixty-aeventh  and  aixty-eightb  linen  of 
Ovid'H  Elegy  on  Tibuliiis  {Amormn,  lib.  iii,  el.  9), 
with  an  admirable  translation,  aa  follows  : — 
"Scilicet  onriTiO  sacrum  Mors  importuna  profanat,

The  sketch  of  Wiadham  ("  WeathtTcocl;  Billy  " 
my  father  uaed  to  csdl  bim)  was  first  printed  in  the 
Edtnhiirgh  Jieviav  for  iJctobcr,  183S  (vol.  l.icviii,), 
and  has  npj:>eared,  without  correction,  in  idl  the 
tuitions  of  Lord  Brougham's  Uistoriad  Skitdas  of 
Stalismen.  "When  writioj;  his  translation.  Lord 
Broupjham  waa  probably  thinkioi^%  not  of  the  pale 
troddesa  present  to  Ovid'a  inuigioation,  but  of  the 
'*Kinj^  of  Terrors"  mentioned  by  Bildnd  the 
Shahite  in  the  Book  of  Job  (chap,  xviii.  v.  14)^ 
or,  more  probably  still,  of  the  fiublime  description 
of  Df-aih  in  Foraduc  Lost  (which  his  lordibip  h;td 
applied  with  svieh  terrible  effect  to  Geor^^e  1V»  as 
the  unproduced  prosecutor  of  (Jueen  Caroline).  It 
IB  strsinge,  however,  that  his  lordship  should  have 
RO  misquoted  Ovid  as  to  make  Death  ft mininr  in 
the  first  line  nitd  ifiasculinf  in  the  seroitd^  and  that 
this  error  should  not  have  l>een  noticed  by  the 
editor  of  the  Kdinhurffh  IUvuil\  or  by  any  person 
concerned  in  any  of  the  numerous  editions  of  Lord 
Broughaui'd  SUiiejtmen  of  Uu  Time  of  George  III. 
Of  course,  the  "illc"  in  the  second  line  should  be 
**illn/'and  the  niisprint  may  have  been  attribut- 
able, in  the  first  instance,  to  had  penmanship. 

3,  I  am  sorry  to  add  tlut  the  misprinta  in  what 


is  called  the  collect«d  edition  of  Lord  Brouf 
works  are  very  numerous.     The  following  ext 
gives  two  of  the  moat  preposterous  : — 

"Jobnion  n^Tcr  would  have  dared  to  make 
tfttuiLation  a«  Dryden'a  ef 

*  Altoa 
Depeiiste  omna  epotaque  flumlna  Medo 
Prandente/ 
*  RiTere,  whote  depth  no  sharp  beholder  i

Here  both   the   Latin  and  the  English 
nonsense.   ^^ DepcrtMic  omnc^  "  should  be  ". 
avLUcSy"  and  *' i>rt«^  i(^> '' should  be  " 
These   blunders   could   not  be   accounted 
bad  handwriting  only,  and  there  must  bate 
extrotno  negligence  to  retain  them  through 
editions. 

4,   The   illustrioua  Funck    himself  is 
faliible,  and  has  too  much   wit   and  ho 
pretend  to  be  so.      In  his?  loving;  notice  ofj 
Lemon,  on  June  4»  If^TO,  Punch  thus  mi 
the  Mtirquesa  Wellcsley  a  beiiutiful  epitmiphl

"  I,  pete  ciElegteSj  uid  nulla  e«t  cara,  recessoii 
Et  tibi  flit,  nuUo  mihta  lalore,  quie»," 
The  word  ''hthorc''  should    have  been  "i' 
and  the  altemtton  is  the  reverse  of  an 
ment.      Mark  Lemon  believed   in   the 
wurk,  and   never  could  have   supposed 
happiness  of  heaven  woidd  consist  in  idlei 
vacancy,  or  having  nothing  to  do.

FAIRY  PIPES. 
Moat  people  have  heard  of  the  '*  fairy  pi| 
(tailed   in   Ireland,  which  the  pptide  ocatfi 
turns  up  in  the  cottager's  garden  in  most 
England.     These  curious  objects  are 
forms  of   tobacco  pipes  that  had  been 
jected,  like  the  fsiihires  of  poor  Be.iu  Brot 
or  else  had  served  their  turn,  and  been  rut! 
thrown  aside  like  an  old  clipper.     It  is  et 
that  nearly  all  the  *'  ancient  chiys  "  thus  dr 
are  broken  in  stem  or  bowl ;  rarely  can  yoa 
with  an  entire  bowl  and  an  unshortened  st 
the  same  specimen.     The  following  case,  it  willi 
seen,  is  therefore  quite   exceptionaL     Souie  ' 
yeara  or  more  ngo  I  was  living  in  a  Shi 
^rish,  that  stretched  along  tlie  ridge  of  * 
rock  which  looka  down  upon  the  valley 
Severn.     There  were   in   this   place  fiuarri<^ 
capital  grey  building  stone,  sound  and 
and,  frmn  this  source^  the  stone  used  for  W|| 
Cathedral  was  generally  extnicted.    I  am 
pared  to  say  that  the  original  stmeture  i»j

me,  within  the  past  few  days,  by  the  difficulty  of 
spelling  a  certain  p^irish loner's  name.    He  is  garoe- 

keepr  to  Lord  ,  and  his  root  her,  who  ha? 

died,  at  the  aire  of  eighty-two,  was  the  widow  of  a 
former  parish  clerk.  Hih  name  is  pronounced 
'*  Wheelband  "  ;  but,  for  the  last  five  years,  I  have 
frequently  «een  it  spelt  "  Wildband/'  and  have  so 
written  the  word  whenever  I  had  occasion  to  trans- 
cribe it.  When  the  mother  of  thia  man  died  the 
other  day,  her  name,  in  the  usual  certificate  handed 
to  the  officiating  clergyomn,  waa  written  "  Whel- 
born."  Her  huBband's  DiUDe  wos  entered  in  the 
parish  rejjister,  in  1868,  as  "Wilboiirn,"  and  en- 
i^raved  on  his  tombstone  as  *'  Wilband/'  It  is 
written  thus  in  the  parish  register  for  1817  and 
18<;2,  In  18:!4,  1S27,  and  1K3(),  it  appears  as 
"  Willband  "'  ;  in  1h;}.3  and  1&G8  a^  *'  Wilbourn  '' ; 
in  1>^:):J  and  1859  aa  '*  Whelbourn"  ;  and  in  1855 
iij^  "  Whelburn."  In  a  marriage  in  this  family 
the  bride  signed  her  name  "  Wilbourn  "  ;  and  h^r 
brother  and  sister  signed,  .is  attesting  witness^os, 
*'  Wilband."  The  above  instance  is  met  with  in  a 
small  rural  parish  of  173  inhabitantj*. 

CCTHBERT  BeDE* 

SyrrF.-=I  heard  it  lately  observed  that  when 
GoldBmith  wrote  the  well-known  lines  in  Eetalia- 
tio7i^  in  1774,^ 

''  When  they  tatk'd  of  their  BaphMls^  Corrcgioi,  and 
stuff, 

lie  Mhiftcd  hii  trumpet  »nd  only  took  tnuff,** 
—he  must  have  had  in  bis  mind  Swift's  poem,  en- 
titled The  Grand  Qutstioji^  1729,  in  which  occur 
the  lines^ 

"  Your  Nf^vod^,  and  Blutmki,  and  Omars,  and  stuff,    Ufi 
liy  U —  they  don't  signify  tbii  pinch  of  Bniiff." 

It  may  fairly  be  asAuraed  that  in  both  these 
cases  the  writers  really  meant  a  i>inch  of  snuff ; 
but  in  the  early  part  of  the  last  century  the  word 
"snuff"  was  often  employed  to  designate  refuse 
or  waste.  Thus  Swift,  in  the  "  IHahgiLe^  on  Polite 
CnniTrmt ion jhy^imon  Wagsttilfe,  1 738," represents 
Mias  Notable  as  drinking  a  part  of  a  glass  of 
wine,  whereupon  Colonel  Keverout  says,  "Pray 
let  me  drink  your  snutT"  ;  to  which  Misa  Notable 
replies,  "No,  indeed  you  shan't  drink  after  me, 
for  you  11  koow  my  thoughts."  A  little  earlier 
than  this  *'  snuff  "  was  commonly  u>ed  to  express 
otfence  or  resentment.  The  following  lines  were 
written  in  17n3,  when  the  Queen  desired  the  House 
to  agree  to  a  money  vote  in  favour  of  the  Duke  of 
Marlborough  ;  and  it  was  suggested  that  the  Yigo 
prize  money  should  be  given  to  bim  : — 
**  The  Queen  a  messaee  to  the  Senate  sent. 
To  beg  her  Duke  a  ooone  in  pKrl'mment ; 
After  a  warm  debate  the  House  tfrew  bold, 
And  bid  her  pey  her  Dttke  in  Vigo  Gold.

I  scrupulously  avoid  it,  as  bein^  a  dry  lofiicul  for- 
mula, like  "  some  is  not  some."  Its  direct  function 
is  to  assert  that  a  chiss  contains  more  than  ont*

Thougb  not  an  Irish  reftder  of  *'  N.  &  Q.*'  I 
can  lEtive  some  information  to  D.  F.  regnrdinf^  the 
Archbifihopi  of  Tuam  who  were  conne»ted  with 
the  tninslation  of  the  New  Testament  iiilo  Irish. 
Nehemiah  Donelhin,  n  native  nf  the  county  of 
Galway,  educated  at  the  ITnirersity  of  Cambridge, 
and  eoneecrated  to  the  see  of  Tunm  May  18, 
1595,  is  stated,  in  the  writ  of  privy  seal  directing 
his  appointment  to  the  raetrop«ditical  sep  of  hia 
native  province,  to  be  "  very  fit  to  conimimicjiite 
with  the  people  in  their  native  tongue,  and  »  very 
meet  Lnstrunient  to  retain  and  in!^tnict  them  in 
duty  and  reli^jion  ;  and  that  he  ha<l  also  taken 
fireat  pains  in  translating  and  puttinn;  to  the  press 
the  Communion  Book  and  Nevir  Testament  in  the 
Irish  lang^nage,  which  herMajesty  greatly  approved 
of"  (Rot.  Paf.).  He  voluntarily  resijined  his  see 
in  1609,  and,  dying  !»oon  afterwards,  at  Tuam,  wa«j 
buried  in  his  cathedwl.  The  dedication  and  pre-' 
fiice  to  the  Irish  New  Testament,  printed  in  lf)02,| 
are  of  his  composition  {Thr.  Tribes  of  Hy-Mnntf, 
printed  by  the  Archaeological  Society  of  Ireland, 
p.  15T),  and  Cotton's  FtuH  SecUtia:  Hibeniicifff

William  Drtniel,  or  O'Donnell,  D.B.,  a  ntUive  of 
Kilkenny,  was  one  of  the  first  scholars  of  Trinity 
C'olle^e,  Dublin,  rt<iii)inated  in  the  charter  of 
found(ttion  March  3^1592,34  Etiziibeth,  and  after- 
wards elected  a  fellow  of  the  same  in  lSf)3,  beinc 
then  Prelsendary  of  Ta-Sc<»ffin,  in  the  ciithedral 
church  of  Kilkenny,  his  native  dioceae  of  Ossoryj 
and  he  is  described  us  "  Lfticus  in  An^lia  "  {Krg, 
Vis\  which  probably  means  that  he  wag  theD, 
inni,  study infj  at  Oxford  or  Camhriilge,  aa  was 
common  in  tho!?e  days.  He  was  appointed  Trea- 
surer of  St.  Patrick'R  Cathednil,  Dublin,  by  patent 
of  Au^.  2,  UiOU  ;  and  by  the  same  instrument  he 
wa*  likewise  created  Archbit«hop  of  Tmim,  being 
consecmted  at  St.  PatrickV  before  the  end  of  the 
same  month.  He  held  the  treasurership  in  rornr 
fnaidam  till  hif*  death,  at  Tuam,  July  11,  U52$, 
He  completed  the  translation,  from  the  Greek,  of^

them  altogether,  we  have  just  air 
fhich  the  Athenians  ''* dared  npfnhj 
Wmt  of  hatred  "  apiinst  the  Pelopon- 
Bftt  all  these  were  jnrexioug  to  the 


affair  of  the  refugees  from  Ithome  is  patent  from 
wba.t  Grote  further  tells  us :  "  It  was  about  the  time 
of  the  destruction  of  the  Athenian  army  in  £|rypt, 
and  of  the  circumnavigation  of  PeloponncHUa  by 
Toluiidep,  that  the  internal  war,  ciirried  on  by  tho 
Lacedaruonians  njL,^ainst  the  Helots  at  Ithome, 
ended,'*  Immediately  upon  which,  and  ua  a  con- 
sequence of  it,  the  occurrence  took  place  of  which 
IKnelmknsis  says,  *'I  am  willinp;  to  prove  that 
iy»S)/  points  to  this  being  the  first  time  they  dared 
ojtenhj  to  do  ao." 

He  further  tells  ua  that,  thoun^h  **  the  hatred 
had  been  long  smouldering  in  the  breasts  of  the 
Athenians,  the  cope^tone  wnn  not  put  on  until  the 
enemies  of  (ho  8partans  had  been  housed  at  Nau- 
pactua  "  ;  and  that  '*  thl^  coincides  with  the  con- 
text, and  gives  great  force  to  it." 

t?o  the  matter  stands.  It  wdl  now  be  for  the 
readers  of  **  N.  &  Q."  to  decide  ftir  them.selvea 
whether  this  was  really  llie  "copestone  put  on," 
or  whether  there  had  nut  been  *'  copestone^  "  put 
on  before  ;  and  ako  whether  thu  doe*  "  coincide 
with  the  context,  and  give  ;jreat  force  to  it." 

I.  An  to  the  first  poBitiou,  We  have  gix  in- 
st^tncea  in  which  the  AthenitinB  did  show  their 
hatred,  and  that  in  the  most  open  and  undisguised 
manner,  towards  the  Laceda-moninns,  namely  :^ 
L  By  breaking  with  thoni,  and  enterinfj  into  alli- 
ance with  their  enemtea,  the  Argeians.  2.  In  the 
battle  of  ^Ejri nil*  ^.  In  the  battle  of  Megani,  4. 
In  the  battle  of  Tanatjra.  5.  In  the  battle  of

[>orts  ofMetbone  and  Gy[hium,and  other  mruges 
committed  by  Tolmides  on  the  PeloponDCsiim 
coaat. 

II,  On  the  second  position.  If  it  be  contended 
that  ch.  103*  80  coincides  with  ch.  lt)2,  of  the  first 
Dook  of  Tbucydidei*,  n»  to  form  a  continuous  narra- 
tive, then  I  luust  respectfully  submit  that  it  does 
not ;  but  that  between  the  two  there  19  an  interval 
of  not  less  than  sir  years,  in  which  interval  all 
tlinne  stirrinjij  events  tmnppircd  which  hfue  been

It  may  be  a«  well  to  mention  that  the  respective 
dates  of  the  dis^m^sJ^al  of  the  Athenian  troops  from 
Ithome,  and  of  the  subsequent  receptif^m  of  the

I  may  add  that  the  first  monks  of  St,  Eomualdo 
Biiuply  followed  the  usual  rules  of  life  adopted  by 
the  Anrborites.  They  were  submitted  to  the  rule 
of  St.  Uenoit  only  after  their  order  had  been 
recognized  by  Pope  Alexander  111,  {}07'2).  In 
1212  a  convent  of  Camaldolitea  was  founded  by 
Father  Laurent,  under  the  patronage  of  St.  Mi- 
chaelo,  in  a  little  isbind  between  Venice  and  Mil- 
rano.  The  order  was  reformed  by  Arabrosio  da 
Portico,  in  the  fiftteoth  pen  tiny.  The  principal 
oonvent«  of  Camaldolites,  besides  those  mentioned 
in  the  EnnjchpMUj  were  the  convents  of  Torino, 
Notre  Biime  de  Capet  (dioeeee  of  Vienne,  France), 
and  Notre  Batne  de  lu  ConsolatioD  (diocege  of 
Lyons).  These  establishmenta  disappeared  in  the 
last  century,  but  the  order  was  kept  up  at  Camal- 
doli,  and  the  monks  who  went  to  the  kingdom  of 
Naplea  (1822)  eame  from  this  phice.  Before  the 
French  Revolution  there  were  in  France  twelve 
convents  of  women  connected  with  the  order  of 
the  (Jamahlolites,  but  under  the  superintendence 
and  in  the  obedience  of  the  bishops.

Priyileoes  of  Esoimkkts  (S*"*  S.  t.  Uiy.) — 
Since  the  plain  blue  frock  cont  for  undress,  with 
sjiuh  round  the  waist,  was  done  away  with  (about 
twenty-five  years  ago),  I  cannot  recollect  having 
seen  any  regimental  officer  in  uniform  showing  a 
shirt  collar,  except  with  the  evening  luefis  dress. 
No  provision  ia  made  in  the  last  iss-ued  "Dress 
Regulations  for  the  Army,"  1874,  for  collars,  or 
even  for  shirts.  But  where  the  blue  undress  cont 
has  a  ToUinpf  coUar,  as  in  the  case  of  sttatf  officers 
and  ^Jtome  others,  the  white  ^hirt  colUr  is  probably 
understood.  Clarrt's  tailor  must  surely  be  ro- 
mancinj^.  A  regiment  on  active  service  would 
have  some  difticulty  in  appearing  dady  on  pjnidc? 
in  clean  shirt  collars, 

I  reniember  that,  on  arriving  at  a  certain  station 
in  India  in  ISi^O,  a  Eurofxnin  presented  him-^elf 
dressed  in  a  cap  cover,  shirt,  and  trousers  (no 
jticket)  which  were  once  white,  ami  having  a  hijj 
Hlick  and  a  lot  of  dogs,  and  beariujjj  a  despatch  for 
our  commanding  officer.  On  receivinfij  the  despatch 
tile  comroanding  officer,  bein^  impre.-^&ed  with  the^ 
remarkable  appearance  of  the  Boldier,  asked  to 
what  regiment  be  belonged,  and  wiielher  his  was 
its  usual  uniform.  On  beinj;  told  that  it  was  so, 
the  commandinj^  officer  also  inquired  whether  it 
was  the  privilege  of  the  corps  to  omit  the  diluting 
of  officers  as  well  Jis  to  dispense  with  coats.  It  is 
pofi^lbJe  that,  in  conimemomtion  of  now]  old  days» 
when  they  only  wore  ishirfs,  the  jjallant  fellows 
now  show  a  shirt  collar  above  the  coat.  They 
were  familiarly  known,  during;  the  Mutiny,  a>i  tlie 
**  Roughs  and  Toughn"  ;  and  lioth  rou;;hand  tough

C'oMET-s  (5«»  S.  iv.  146,  252.)— Again  retnrnins 
to  the  superstitious  terrors  inspired  by  comets,  it 
ia  related  of  Louisa  of  8avoy  (mother  of  Francis  L 
of  Fnince),  that  a  few  days  before  she  died,  dnrins 
a  wakeful  night,  f^he  was  disturbed  by  a  lustrous 
light  illuminating  the  chamber.  Ordering?  the 
curtains  of  her  bed  to  be  undrawn,  it  was  dis- 
covered that  the  extraordinary  brightness  wag 
caused  liy  a  comet.  "  Ah  !  "  she  exclaimed,  '*  this 
is  a  phenoraennn  that  appears  not  for  persons  of 
ordinary  condition  !  Shut  the  window  ;  it  k  a 
comet,  which  announces  my  departure ;  I  must 
prppnre  myself  for  it." 

Under  the  impression  that  the  comet  was  the 


herald  of  a  sjieedy  dissolution,  the  foUo'wini 
ing  she  sent  for  her  confe?i!?or.  The  phj 
assuring  her  that  there  was  no  foundation  j 
fears,  she  replied,  "If  I  had  not  seen  the 
for  my  death  I  could  believe  you,  for  I 
feel  myself  exhausted."  8he  died  on  tbi 
day  after  the  event,  under  ilm  fatal  belief.

Middle-English  uses  of  ape^  we  shall  hit  on  the 
needed  explanation  some  day.  In  a  very  rare

the  phrase  above.  A  b>iclielor  woos  a  widow. 
She,  not  knowing  what  money  he  has,  pnts  hiui 
off,  saying  she  11  inquire  ubcnit  hiin,  which  she 
sifterwardH  does  by  a  broker.  Objection  18  made 
to  her  blunt  speech  and  inquiry  ;  but  Honesty 
defends  her  : — 

*■  Rtit,  tut !  I  like  her  the  better,  bcc»iise  she  could  not 
d!f»4riiilil<? ;  for  vhe,  hIm  !  fltd  Imt  follow  the  cummin

In  fact,  she  found  the  bticbelor  hadn't  enough 
money,  and  ho  she  put  hLm  off  continually,  and 
then  refudied  him.

t  iJ*,  we  have  a  very  pretty  choir  and 


chancel  (modernized) ;  two  fine  transepts,  still 
bearing  traces  of  their  original  ^ndeur.  The 
north,  called  the  "  Fitzgerald  I&le,"  stLU  contains 
the  monument  of  that  once  great  sept  :— 

"  Epitaphium  Johariis  dc  0«raldts  MiUtia 

Anno  Domini  1011. 
Hie  situs  est  tidies  miiLy;irii  de  stirpe  Geraldi 
^Etcma  cujua  patria  laado  ionat/'  &c. 

The  south  transept  h  called  the  **  Poor  We/* 
from  the  famdy  of  Poor  or  Power,  whose  estates 
once  extended  from  near  Youghal  to  Cork  Har- 
bour, and  from  which  the  celebrated  headland  at 
its  entnince  is  Btill  ciiUed  Poor  Head.  It  is 
said  that  in  former  times  they  endowed  a  cliantry 
in  thia  "  isle,"  which  wa^  their  place  of  sepulture. 
Amonjjst  other  monuments  it  now  contains  tliat 
of  Gapt.  Richard  Bent  and  his  lady ;  tho  foinier 
died  April  10,  lC8t>,  the  latter  Feb.  17,  1078. 
AIbo  the  monument  of  the  Lon<]:tield  family  of 
Caatlemary,  which  completely  blocks  up  one  of 
tbe  Itnest  windows  in  this  part  of  the  country. 
Opposite  the  cathedral  stands  the  Round  Tower 
in  all  its  ancient  majesty,  not  a  stone  loose  after 
such  a  lapse  of  a;:es,  and  (juite  intact,  except in*;,^ 
the  conical  cap,  which  was  struck  with  lightning 
in  March,  1748,  at  which  time  the  windows  of  tho 
cathedral  were  shuttered  hy  the  storm.  The 
Hound  Tower  now,  as  in  tbe  days  of  old,  contains 
the  cathedral  belL  From  a  deposition  taken  163o, 
we  learn  that  Cloyne,  in  1260,  "  was  divided  into 
Enjjlisb  town  or  street.  The  manor  house  stood 
near  the  church,  the  bishop  havini;  no  foot  of  land 
reserved  in  the  town ;  that  the  bishops'  house  was 
in  Irish  Street,  but  of  late,  in  the  last  Sir  John's 
time,  they  had  jpot  one  in  English  Street."  But 
what  inakea  the  foUowini^  accounts  particularly  in* 
tcrestin;^  is" the  fact  that  they  refer  to  the  reparations 
undertaken  for  the  first  time  after  the  cithednil 
came  into  the  hands  of  the  reformed  clergy,  and  I 
think  I  shall  prove  this.  Everything  previous  to 
lf>4(^  seems  to  have  been  in  confusion.  Lord  De- 
ptity  Mountjoy,  on  his  return  towards  Dublin  after 
the  siege  of  KLnaile,  paid  a  visit  here  : — 

•'  March  9, 1601.  Hia  lordahip  slept  at  Cloyne,  being 
a.  manor  house  and  town  b-clongiog;  to  the  see  of  Cork, 
then  let  to  Master  John  Pi tZ'-fJtnand?,  who  entertained 
U9  and  all  the  Gentleraon,  Cnptami",  and  other;*  in  his 
lonLship*«  train,  and  the  Lord  Deputy,  beini;  well  con- 
vinced of  his  Irjyatty  on  other  occojiions,  kni^'hted  him 
on  leaving  hii  house  the  next  tnornin^  to  pursue  hia 
Journey."— if»A.  Pac. 

Previous  to  this,  1575,  Mathew  Sheyne,  Bishop 
of  Cork  and  Cloyne,  granted  the  fee  farm  of  the 
temporalities  of  Cloyne,  for  ever,  to  Richard  Fitz- 
nirturice  for  a  fine  of  40/.^  who  sold  hia  right  to 
Master  John,  whose  agent  he  was  in  the  trans- 
action. 

1606.  Bishop  Lyon  petitioned  the  Privy  Coun- 
cil against  this  nefarious  proceeding ;  it  was  heard 
in  the  8Lit  Chnmber,  but  Sir  John  had  sufficient 
interest  to  prevent  any  decision.

8HAK8PEARIANA. 
*'  Kruo  STKpnicN  was  a  worthv  peer,*'  OOwllo, 
Act  ii.  sc.  3. — I  have  referred  el s^e where  in  your 
pages  to  these  lines  in  (Uhtllo  as  a  |iriwf  of  the 
pojtubirity  of  King  Stephen.  There  mny,  however, 
be  a  difficulty  in  determining  where  the  son^  itself 
originated,  of  ant  of  the  vewiona  of  which  these 
lines  may  have  formed  a  part.  The  song  under 
the  natue  of  "  Tak  yer  uuld  cloak  uboot  ye,"  that 
iflj  "Take  your  old  cloak  about  you," still  flouriahefl 
in  Scotland  as  a  song  to  be  sung  on  oonvivial 
occamon^.  It  is  of  considerable  length.  It  in 
to  be  found  in  Percy's  Rdiqua,  I  am  not 
aware  tLat,  aa  a  song  to  be  sung,  it  exists  in 
England  anywhere,  or  to  any  extent.  Judging 
from  the  lines  in  Othello,  the  Englifib  version  had 
been  adapted  to  English  history.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  Scotch  version  is  adapted  to  Scotch 
history-  The  English  version,  so  far  as  it  appears 
in  Shukspeare,  in  those  editions  of  bijs  works  that 
I  have  seen,  Heema  to  me  to  have  ii  very  modern 
aspect.  Yon  will  perhaps  allow  me  to  rontrtist 
the  verses  in  (Hhdlo  wi(h  the  corre«pondintj  verses 
in  the  Scotch  version.  The  verses  in  (HhcUo  are  as 
follows  : — 

"  King  Stephen  was  a  worthy  peer. 

Bis  breeches  coat  hini  but  a  crown  ; 
lie  held  them  sixpence  alt  too  dear. 

With  that  he  calFd  the  tailor  lowo. 

He  waa  a  wight  of  hiirh  renown. 

And  thtui  art  but  of  low  degree  ; 
*Ti»  pride  that  pulls  the  country  down, 

Then  take  thine  auld  cloak  about  thee." 

Tbe  Scotch  version  of  these  two  rerses  U  bs 
follows : — 

•'  In  dnyd  whnn  jfudo  King  Robert  rang, 
His  breeks  thi-y  cost  bim  half  n-croon  ; 
He  said  ihey  wur  a  proatowre  dear, 
An'  ca  d  the  tiler  thief  an'  loon. 

He  was  the  Kin^  that  wore  the  croon, 

An"  thoo  a  man  o'  laigb  degree; 
It '»  prido  pits  a"  the  kin  try  doon, 

Sae  ink  yer  auli  cloak  aboot  yo." 

I  have  been  hilherto  assuming  that  there  was  an 
English  version  of  the  entire  song,  of  which,  how- 
ever, I  am  not  aware  that  there  is  any  proof, 
beyond  the  existence  of  the  two  verses  in  Othello. 
If  the  song  was  originally  Scotch,  does  this  throw 
liny  light  upon  the  question  whether  ShiUiapeare 
ever  was  in  Scotland  1  My  own  opinion  is  that 
there  is  no  proof,  positive  or  presumptive,  that  he 
wa.«!,  and  it  also  seems  to  me  to  be  a  matter  of 
little  moment  whether  he  was  or  not,  exeepting 
only  a.1  an  interesting  event  iu  his  hfe,  if  it  could 
be  establisihed  on  anything  like   clear  evidence^

Shaksperk.  —  It  has  been  often  sLited  that 
Shakspere  must  have  read  at  school  Christopher 
0 eland's  Latin  poem  of  about  70(>  hexameters  (on 
twenty-three  leaves),  **  iipiivap\ia  aive  Elizabt'thiu 
Db  pacatisHimo  An^'lLie  s^tutu,  impemnte  Eliza- 
bethan compendiosa  Narmtio,'*  because  it  was  or- 
dered, by  tne  Lords  of  the  Privy  Co  unci],  to  be 
read  and  taught  in  all  Orammar  and  Free  Schooltt 
in  the  kingdom.  But  the  date  of  this  Order  has 
not  been  attended  to.  It  is  May  7,  1582,  when 
ShukBp^re  was  past  eighteen,  and  must  certainly 
have  left  achooL  The  book  itself  is  dated  1582. 
StUlj  Shaksp^re'a  boy^  Hamnet,  may  well  hare

"Fortes  fortuna  adjcvat." — The  sentiment 
which  is  expressed  in  this  proverb,  which  occurs  so 
often  in  the  same,  or  nearly  the  same,  words,  has 
been  dated  from  the  time  of  Democritus  at  least. 
In  one  of  the  sentences  attributed  to  him  it  is 
said: — 

Stob.,  Ftor,  IL  16;  Bemocr.  Fra^^m. ,  BeroL  1S43,  p.  ITS. 
Ennius  has : — 

"  Fortibna  est  fortnna  Tiria  data." 

Ann.  Y.  202 ;  Enn.,  fUt.,  Lip«.  1S54,  p.  ZQ, 
Terence  cites  it  as  a  proverb : —

"  Erg6  iitajc  cum  ita  sint,  Anttp 
Tantn  magiii  te  ndvigilare  a^iuum  est.     F<

Cicero  notices  it  more  than  one©  :- 
"  Fortes  enim  iion  modo  fortuna  adjiii 

vet«nQ  proverbiu,  seJ  tnulto  mngi»  ratio,  qua  6

iii.  4. 

Livy  inserts  it  in  a  speech  which  he  ill 
Lftceda?monian3  um  when  Nabis  reported 
the  terms  of  peace  otfered  to  liim  by  tlic  1

His  remark  on  the  discipline  of  the  V 
which  they  prevailed  over  the  negleot  i 
C.  Sempronius,  is  ; — 
"  Ergo  fortuna,  ut  Boepe  alias,  virtutcm  est  m 

m 

So  also  when  the  Vestini  hiid  joined  the  £ 
and  the  expedition  against  them  had  i 
beyond  expectation,  he  observes  : — 

"  ETentua  docuit,  fortes  fortunam  jinv 

Lib. 

Virgil,  with  a  slight  difference,  bos  :-^ 
**  Aadontei  fortuna  juvat." — ^n,  x*  2S 
And  ho  makes  Pallas,  for  this  reason,  a 
the  attack  of  Turn  us  : — 

"  Ire  prior  Pallas,  si  qua  fors  adjiivet 
Viribua  imparibue/' — ^A'jl.  x*  458. 

Seneca,  the  p<Ket,  simOarly  baa  : — 
*'  Fortuna  fortes  metuit,  ignavos  prcnoit." — } 

Another  interest  attaches  to  one  occiwl 
the  expression  was  uttered.  It  was  on  t] 
the  elder  Pliny,  when  he  hesitated  wh 
should  retire,  on  the  advice  of  the  mast4 
vefl.Hcl,  or  advance  nearer  to  watch  the  en; 
Vesuvius.     His  nephew  writes  :^ 

"  Cunctatus  paulum  an  retro  tfccteret,  mi 
natori,  tit  ita  foccretp  uionenti,  *  Fortes/  toqinl 
adjuvat :  PompoTJiamira  pete,'  "— Plin.,  Sp.  Ti 

Claud  T an  linidly  has  :-= 

"  Fors  juvat  audentes,  Cei  senieutia  raU 
*  Ad,  ProbU 

Thia,  which  ia  the  reading  in  Gesoer'a 
might  seem  to  trace  the  expression  to  S 
as  its  author,  who  was  aiaout  .a  centur 
than  Democritus,  if  he  should  be  taken  t 
"Cens  vatcB.''  But  the  reading  has  a 
"Chii"  and  "prisci,"  though  not  wit 
authority. 

There  ia  also  a  more  religious  form  of  the

On  THETauTtfs  contai^ted  in  Porin.AR  Super- 
stitions.^— ^Pliny  says  that  the  oak  gJiU  contains  a 
worm,  a  fly,  or  a  spider,  and  adds  that  the  firat 
lietokena  dearth,  the  second  war,  and  the  third 
jiestilence.  The  presence  of  the  former  two  is,  of 
coune,  in  the  order  of  nature  ;  but  the  existence 
of  tiiG  spider  for  long  acemed  to  me  to  be  an  im- 
possibility. I  chanced,  however,  one  day  about 
this  time  of  year  to  pick  up  a  fallen  gall  of  (^ijnips 
KoUarii^  from  which  the  lly  had  emerged,  and 
noticed  that  the  aperture  by  which  it  had  escaped 
was  closed  by  a  web.  On  dividing  the  gall,  I 
found  the  cenlnd  cyst,  formerly  occupied  by  the 
dy,  filled  by  a  bag  of  strong  silk.  I  extracted  tbia, 
when,  to  my  surprise,  out  dropped,  at  the  end  of 
his  line,  a  spider,  a  Chihioiui  hrcnpc-s.  I  believe 
him  to  have  been  manifesting  every  symptom  of 
disgust  at  being  turned  out  of  the  snug  winter 
quarters  he  had  provided.  This  is  not  an  isolated 
caj«e,  for  I  have  since  often  found  deserted  gtdla 
with  the  aperture  closed  in  like  manner,  and, 
knowing  a  spider  was  at  home,  have  let  him  be. 
As  for  the  augury,  I  say  nothing,  but  note  the  fact 
:xs  another  hint  not  to  reject  too  Riahly  as  absurd 
an  old  legend  or  superstition.

or;'etber  abnormal. 

cj/-«7i,  is  what  is  called  a  cumulate 
iluwU  like  6ref/ir-cri  and  rhikfr-ai, 
analog  when  the  primitive 
out.  Brofhrr  ori^Mnrilly  made

fiiolete,  «n,  oa  in  oji;<;n,  hoseit^  &c.,  waH 
Sj  a  more  dedded  plural  emphaflis. 
f  supine  is  rather  dillVrent.  The  ori- 
ic  name  for  the  mtde  pig  was  A.-S.  hdr, 
for  the  female,  »w,  A.-S,  suga,,  H.G. 
n  to  fonn  collective  nouns,  the  Gothic 
mtonic  languarjca  added  -eiti  as  a  ter- 
■eiuy  a  multitude,  from  manage 
^lelotiveS)  from  fadr.     So  ni-w'n, 


or  sv-ein^  was  the  term  for  a  herd  or  drove  of  yi^. 
On  that  account  it  ia  in  the  neuter  gender  in  all 
the  cognate  tongues.  Sti-ein  becomes  in  H»G. 
Schwein,  for  the  sake  of  euphony.  It  is  true,  *Sait 
has  Ji  plural  Sdu-m^  but  the  diphthong  is  {runated 
for  the  &ame  reason,  so  that  i<fhwtin  could  never 
have  arisen  from  Sdu-en. 

Although  swine  ia  now  frequently  used  in  the 
singular  number,  its  onginal  character  of  a  multi- 
tude still  clings  to  it,  as  in  sitnne-htnl,  swine-catfi^ 
fruine-pox,  &c.  The  word  la  found  twelve  times  in 
our  transhition  of  the  New  Testament,  and  in  all 
the  coses  as  a  collective  term. 

The  above  nre  simple  atatements  of  fact,  which 
any  one  may  easily  verify  by  reference  to  the  works 
of  Graff,  Gahelcntz  and  Loebe,  E,isk,  Bosworth, 
Earle,  and  others.  W.  B.  seems  to  think  that  his 
own  simple  assertion  will  set  a-side  all  the  autho- 
rities. '*The  regular  plural  of  Kto%p  is  goiven"; 
'*  Ky^  or  cy,  instead  of  being  a  plural  by  vowel 
ehjinge,  is  merely  a  colloquial  contraction  of  H?i«." 
For  these  statements  not  the  shadow  of  proof  is 
given.  All  the  evidence  is,  in  fact,  to  the  direct 
contrary ;  yet  we  are  gravely  warned  against  "  hav- 
ing recourse  to  gratuitous  assumptions.'' 

He  further  informs  us  that  child  strictly  implies 
a  female.  I  should  be  glad  if  he  will  furnish  the 
slightest  scintilla  of  evidence  to  that  effect.  Child, 
A--S.  ciW,  is  akin  to  H.G.  Kind^  O.G.  rAni^,  which 
in  all  the  Teutonic  tongue*,  being  collective  nouns 
embracing  both  sexes,  are  always  neuter. 

After  slumbering,  and  apparently  dead,  for 
three  years,  it  is  really  provoking  to  see  aucli 
crudities  come  to  life  again. 

J.   A.   PtCTON. 
Sondyknowe,  ^YaYe^tree, 

I  am  unable  to  refer  to  the  previous  discussion 
which  W.  B,  speaks  of,  so  as  to  know  whether  a 
**  right  conclusion  w.-is  arrived  at,"  but  the  attempt 
to  show  these  words  to  be  **  but  modified  forms  of 
the  obsolete  plural  in  en  of  cow  and  sow"  is  hope- 
less. W.  B.  does  not  understand  the  difficulty  of 
hiri  task,  or,  iodeed,  how  to  set  about  his  proof. 
It  is  difficult  to  suppose  that  he  really  thinks*  ho 
has  made  "  reference  to  the  times  and  regions  in 
wliich  they  originated."  The  words,  though  ho 
tiikes  them  together,  are  not  pandlel  <*n8es,  and 
must  be  treated  sepimtely.  He  says, "the  regular 
pkml  of  sow  ia  smom  "  ;'thh  statement  is  wrong, 
and  not  eupported  by  evidence. — in  truth,  soto 
is  a  somewhat  modem  form.  The  early  form  sw^n, 
fem.  (see  Bf»swortli'»  Dii't.,  *.r.,  and  March,  AnglC' 
*<nr«^  (rram.j  p.  T^i),  would  not  take  a  plural  in  en, 
and,  even  if  it  would,  the  fonn  would  scarcely  help 
towunls  sirine.  We  must  come  do\*Ti  far  later  to

Ijutlj,  it  is  not  poesible  for  W.  B.  to  get  over  the 
(mc%  ihaJt  smne  is  a  singular  noun  in  Eogltsh  from 
its  earliest  occurrence  down  to  its  use  in  the 
IdifUt  €f  tk€  King.  As  for  kine^  the  case  is  differ- 
ent, since  it  is,  at  some  time,  a  plural  form  of  coir; 
the  qaestion  is,  at  what  time.  VV,  B.  snys  kinc  h 
earlier  than  hje^  "  which  h  a  colloquial  contraction

Here,  too,  he  does  not  quote  instances  of  the 
forms  having  occurred,  hut  tells  us  what  "  would 
be,"  instead  of  what  has  been.  Now,  cu  is  a 
noun  occurring  early  in  Anglo-S.txon  with  a  re- 
gular plural  oj  by  modificJition  {untbiuf),  for  which 
see  Bosworth's  />«d.,  s.v.^  and  March,  Gram.^

0.  W.  Tancock. 

The  remarks  of  W.  B.  on  this  subject  afford  a 
good  illustration  of  the  saying,  **  It  would  have 
been  if  it  had  been,  and  if  it  were  so  it  might  be 
BO,"  Tbit  is,  if  siviuc  had  reidly  been  a  plural 
origtoally,  it  would  (i>erhaps)  liave  been  fortued, 
as  W.  B,  auggusts,  from  sojven  by  a  change  of  pro- 
nunciation ;  and  again,  if  tine  were  really  the  old 
plural  of  cow  {^cowe7i%  it  oiinrht  [iuss  into  hfc  hj 
the  peculitir  contraction,  of  which  the  Lowland 
Scotch  presents  so  many  examples.  But  there  is 
not  the  slightest  "  mystery"  about  the  matter,  nor 
any  need  for  "gratuitous  assumptions."  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  swai,  in  Anglo-fSaxon  (which  I 
trust  W.  B.  will  allow  to  be  English  in  its  oldest 
fonii,  and  not  another  language  whence  English  is 
deriyed^ia  a  noun  sinffidnt\u.ud  meant  *'a  pig,"  to 
begin  with  ;  afterwards  smnc  ciuue  to  be  used  in  a

bemg  the  same  in  both  cumbers.  But  soivia  A.-S. 
sn^  (also  sutju),  of  which  the  *'  regular  plural "  cer- 
tainly would  not  end  in  -n  ;  so  that  if  the  word

made  on  the  analogy  of  other  plurals  in  -n  which 
belonged  to  a  diifSerent  declension. 


Similarly  with  Hnc,     The  proper  plural  of 
A.-S,  cu  was  q/,  whence  hjr;  this  (a^  Mr, 
observes)  "  has  been  assimilated  to  the  plui 
-re,  or  else  infected  with  the  word  steins,  and 
been  converted  into  kinc."    WbichcTer  theory 
adopt,  the  fact  remains  that  hyc,  and  not  iri»e,]il 
original  plural, 

in  dealing  with  questions  of  etyniol"^ 
historical /uff?,  where  we  c:in  get  them, 
this,  ration:d  guetses  founded  on  such  i.i^.*.^  ^m 
can  get.      In  the  cuses  before  us,  we  hat« 
former  desideratum  fully  supplied,  and  ^vTi  if  nm 
need  any  one  wish  for?    It  would  be 
doubt,  to  maintain  that  the  plurzil  }> 
children  were  the  originals,  whence  < 
brothre,  ch  dder  and  chiXdrc^  were  formed  by 
of  the  n ;  yet  we  know  that  the  process  was 
the  reverse.     A  great  deal  of  fruitless  the< 
would  be  savcHii  if  etymologists  would  only 
descend  to  examine  the  kiitory  and  chron^i 
the  word  in  question,  and  take  simply  what  I 
find  there  as  a  basis  on   which   to   found 
deductions.  C,  S.  Jeri 

At  the  l^t  reference,  W.  B.  tells  us  we  a»i 
to  **  have  recourse  to  gratuitous  assumptioas.'* 
illustrates  this  by  himself  assuming  the  eo 
of  the  forms  coKcn  and  «oiMn,  without  a  till 
evidence  that  such  forms  ever  existed  io 
dialect  of  English  at  any  period.  He  thus 
obligingly  confiites  himself.

These  forms  are  quite  simply  to  be  explained^ 
historically  correct ;  and  W.  B.  would  easily 
the  same  if  he  were  acquainted  with  the 
Baxon  grammar. 

I  do  not  know  what  is  said  in  "  N.  &  Q.," 
XL  345,  oa  I  am  not  in  possession  of  that  ni 
however,  I  will  briefly  stiy  all  that  is  neces 
these  worda.     Coio  is  in  A,*S.  ci/,  with  the 
ing  forms  in  plural,  N,  c^^  G.  c\lna^  D, 
A.  c$.    The  u  is,  by  influence  of  a  followiag] 
modified  to  i/.      Thence  cj?,  or,  in  modern  Engli 
kifc  (cf.  gooH^  gecM  ;  foot^  /cd  ;  hw\m-,  inict). 

As  to  kine,  1  agree  with  W.  B.,  believing  it  tol 
a  plural  in  en,  like  fox^  vixen ;  ox,  oxm  ;  so  ws  j 
cyen  or  cyn. 

The  etymology  of  sivine  is  just  as  clear,  and 
form  equally   correct.     The  A.-S.  is  srWa,  d 
neiitcr  noun.'    The  plural  is  like  the  siugubr, 
Now,  the  long  i  in  sutn^  and  the  long  ^  or  i  in 
can,    because    standing    before    a   consoi 
modem  English,  only  be  expressed  by  the 
of  an  fi  after  the  consonant.    In  this  way 
the  forniK  kinc  and  smnCy  and  thence  we  see

The  hopes  of  J.  W.  E.  and  of  Mr*  Napier,  that 
thfv  may  find  a  Scotch  version  anterior  to  the 
En*flish,  deserve  all  encouragement  and  sympnthy. 
T  can  aid  by  j^iving  the  exact  date  of  the  entry  at

If  I  doubt  tbeir  wi^hed-for  success,  it  ia  Itecause 
few  ever  made  more  thorough  researches  into  the 
lyric  poetry  and  muaic  of  the  three  countries  than 
I,  and  because  I  see  the  idea  of

John  TcPLiNo  (5"»  S.  v.  110.)— JoUn  Tuplmg 
(not  Tabling)  was  such  a  man  aa  Chflrlea  Lamb 
would  huve  loved.  Although,  to  use  his  vwn 
phrnse,  he  had  7iot  the  tongues,  be  htul  studied 
what  he  rif^htly  called  *'  our  blessed  Eo^lish"  with 
reveri'Dce  and  deligbfc  ;  and  his  knowledge  of  our 
earlier  literature,  and  hia  simple,  fervid  character, 
made  liim  a  very  intereati^ng  and  original  com- 
panion. He  WJ13  u  seller  of  old  books ;  and  bis 
little  duhky  shop  was  in  tho  narrow  liMiswage  by 
the  church  of  8t.  Mury-le-8trnnd.  His  shop  and 
he  were  well  known  twenty  yenrs  {vjjo  to  not  a  few 
Rtudenta  who  have  since  won  distinction  in  litcni- 
turo  or  art ;  and  had  he  stayed  here,  he  might  have 
risen  to  the  corapctcnce  and  honour  which  his 
enthuHia.sin  deserved.  But  he  ehoso,  I  know  not 
why,  to  give  up  his  business  and  sail  for  America ; 
and,  BUS  Mr»  Walford  says,  he  perished  on  the 
voyage.  His  pamphlet,  Follovs  AppcarancCt  came 
out  in  1854,  antl  waa  "printed  for  John  Russell 
Smith,  Soho  Square."  Its  twenty-four  pageis  are 
full  of  quaint  fancies  and  imaginative  analogies  ; 
for,  indeed t  the  very  ol:>jecfc  of  it  was  to  suggest  an 
iniaginntive  lettering  of  the  backa  of  books,  at 
least  of  "  good  great  books,  books  of  poetry,  books 
of  thought."  For  such  a  book,  Baid  JoAn,  our 
present  manner  of  lettering  is  too  poor. 

"We  declare,"  he  saya,  "in  acomniciti  way  and  loudly, 
its  name  by  scribing  it  r.n  the  back,  men  aa  he  who, 
CDJoying  the  love  of  some  womu.n,  exccediug  fair  and

girc  op  the  grounds  on  which  he 

m  donbtg.     The  £ook  of  Carlaverod^  from 

auct«d,  Is  strictly  reliable,  because  it  is 

id  from  fiuaily  documents.     It  states  that 

in  her  ninety'ftixib  year  in  1873, 


at  which  time  her  age  and  vigour  were  topic*  of 
note  to  her  rehUions  and  friends.  Her  then  heir's 
letter  on  the  subject  ia  sufficient  proof.  She  had 
no  doubt  as  to  her  own  age  ;  nor  have  any  of  those 
who  have  grown  old,  knowing  her  from  their  child- 
hood. In  the  Scol4  Magft-nnc  Mil.  TnoMS  found 
that  on  March  20^  l77fK  Lady  Linton  g-.tve  liirth 
at  Edinburgh  to  a  dflUghter.  This  day  of  March 
was  supposed  by  Lady  Louisa  and  her  friends  to 
be  her  birthday,  while,  as  it  is  well  known  she 
was  more  than  five  yeani  older  than  her  brother 
Lord  Traquair,  the  year  1770  would  be  that  of  her 
birth.  As  is  usmdly  the  caae  in  respect  to  Roman 
Catholic  families,  no  certifiaUeft  of  births  exist  ; 
but  this  is  not  surprising,  considering  that  *'  every 
register,  missal,  prayer  book,  or  vestige  of  Catholic 
ceremonial  was  seized  upon  in  those  days,  and 
burnt  publicly  in  the  market  place  of  Peebles," 
of  which  there  is  a  ciitalogue  in  the  Traquair 
charta  room.  These  extracts  from  letters  clearly 
prove  that  Lrtdy  Louisa  was  living  1771),  and  that 
bouglaa  is  wrong  in  stating  thrtt  she  waa  an  only 
daugliter  (a  son  and  daui^bter  died  young). 
Mr.  Cruik-nhank,  one  of  the  Edinburgh  priests, 
writing  to  Lord  Linton,  "March  3<i,  1771),'*  8ay.% 
"  Missy  is  extremely  well,  bat  not  yet  quite  re- 
conciled to  her  younger  sister.  She  ia  a  most 
pleasant  child,  and  begins  to  pronounce  every 
word  she  hear? ;  she  desires  compliments  to  papa 
and  umuia."  It  appears  from  this  letter  th;it  Lady 
LinLon  had  been  conliued  of  her  second  daughter, 
and  that  the  children  were  staying  with  their 
aunts  in  Edinburgh.  In  the  absence  of  registers 
this  is  also  very  conclusive.  In  1771),  Lord  Linton 
and  Bishop  Hay  were  in  London,  at  the  time  of 
the  Gordon  riot^,  negotiating  with  Lord  North  for 
the  removal  of  the  penal  laws  ;  and  Gordon's  Uixt. 
of  the  Catholic  Omrch^  p.  1(K),  says  :  "  It  was 
feared  that  Lord  Linton's  town  residence  at  Ram- 
say might  become  an  object  of  attack  to  the  rabble. 
His  inSint  daughter  was  therefore  at  once  removed 
to  a  place  of  safety— Edinburgh  Cattle— and  the 
chaplain  retired  for  a  few  days  to  Tnwjuair."  Now, 
Within  the  liw^t  year  or  two,  Liidy  Louisa  told  Mnj. 
r>— ,  "  that  ahc  recollected  being  at  the  Castle  at 
this  time,  and  must  have  been  about  three  years 
old."  The  late  Earl  of  Traquair  was  born  1781, 
and  his  siater  was  live  or  six  years  his  elder  ;  he 
died  18G1.  No  doubts  as  to  the  age  of  either 
have  ever  been  entertained  before  ;  and  I  think 
the  above  should  satisfy  Mr.  Tuoms.  The  Scots 
MaffazinCf  quoted  by  him,  correctly  gives  Lady 
Louisa's  birthday  as  March  20,  1776,  and  I  have 
shown  that  in  1779  she  was  about  three  years  old.

that  migtlefcoe  is  not  to  be  found  elsewhere  than  in

George  Bctler  of  Ballyuagget  (f**"*  S.  v. 
€0,  134,  157.) — Abhba  is  in  error  with  reference 
to  the  removal  of  monuments  from  the  walls  of  the 
Abbey  Church  of  Bath.  The  tablet  to  the  memory 
of  George  Butler  of  BalJyragget  still  remains  in 
the  same  position  in  which  it  wa3  placed  in  187<.>, 
when,  in  connexion  with  the  late  restoration  of  the 
edifice,  tlie  tablets  were  all  rearranged.  The 
statement  respecting  the  disappearance  of  inscrip- 
tions ifl  also  incorrect.  In  the  removal  of  the 
tablets  for  the  purpose  of  rearrangement  one  only 
was  accidentally  thrown  flown  and  too  much  broken 
to  be  replaced  ii|)on  the  walls  ;  with  thia  single 
exceptioOf   I  feel  a^ssured  that  every  inscription 


found  in  the  church  prior  to  the  comtiieni 
the  work  of  restorationj  however  small  or 
rently  unimportant,  has  been  carefully  pws 
and  relixed  upon  the  Wiilla. 

The  above  will  be  a  sufRcient  answer  t

call  '*  clerical  vandalism."  If  he  will  gi

no  doubt  it  will  be  found,  no  inscriplLon.  h

cart  or  waggon  team  had  honaed  on  his  colkr  a 
set  of  five,  BIX,  or  eight  bells.  They  were  the 
music  of  the  country,  sounding  sweetly  in  the  dis- 
tance. Often  when  a  boy  I  have  waited  till  they 
paased  by.  Theur  use  waa  to  give  warning  of  the 
coming  of  a  waggon,  very  necessary  in  thoae  dayi, 
when  the  roada  were  narrow,  and  stage  waggons 
were  common  ;  and  the  law  of  the  road  waa  that 
every  carriage  travelling  in  the  opposite  direction 
was  bound  to  wait  tUl  the  team  luiid  passed.  The 
leader  of  a  line  of  pack  horse's  carried  ear  bells  on 
the  bridle.  I  am  old  enough  to  remember  both. 
The  ear  bells  are  hcmiapherioil,  in  Ireland  called 
notah.  The  beUs  under  a  housing,  adorned  with

value,  and  are  never  dry  to  those  who  know  how

SCURE  WORDS  IN  SHAKSPEARE. 
ilk  eng:\ged  Jately  in  some  researches 
rorixicial  dialects,  I  have  met  with 
bxkt  throw  light  on  some  paasagea  in 
era,  ami  especiaUy  in  Shakapeare.  It 
Qihcrcid  tlmt  our  great  dmmattst  was 
^^etime  of  being  aonietimea  pro- 
Blogunge.  Certriinl;  many  of  hii^ 
Ifwhioh  have  lonv^  perplexed  the 
'  playa,  tind  have  prompted  many  in- 
ptB  to  correct  the  auppoaed  errors  of 
Btill  in  common  use  amon^  the  pe^w- 
^est  and  north  of  Ent^lund.  As  any 
kke  the  moaning  of  Shakspeare  more

have  substituted  the  word  haM,  though  we  hAve 
no  instance  of  such  a  use  of  the  woni  in  Shftk- 
itpeare.  There  is  no  need  of  aoy  change.  The 
word  tult,  with  the  meaning  of  rtfyroach^  is  still 
used  in  the  western  counties.  The  phniw  to  do 
of,  followed  by  a  noun,  is  common  both  in  the 
West  and  North-  In  my  native  county  (Lanca- 
shire) ft  countrjman  will  say  of  anything  that 
mode  him  tremble  exceedingly,  "  It  did  me  aw  of

phrase,  **  It  made  me  all  of  a  tremble,'*  is  often 
used  in  a  higher  chias  of  society.  The  meaning  of 
the  passage  is  that  a  dram  of  reproach  makes  all 
the  noble  substance  of  such  a  nature  doubtful,  or 
liable  to  suspicion. 
Rtnt— 
"  Up,  sword,  and  know  thou  a  more  horrid  hent," 

fJamUt,  iii.  3. 
This  is  generally  explained  to  mean  "take  thou  a 
more  horrid  grasp,  or  seizure,  of  opportunity,"  from 
A.-S.  hentmi^  to  seize.  But  this  explanation  is 
not  very  .•siitisfactorj'.  Hamlet  mij^'ht  grasp  his 
sword,  or  choose  another  opportunity  for  his  re- 
venge, but  such  terms  cannot  be  applied  to  the 
sword  itself,  except  by  a  very  harsh  metaphor.  It 
seeuis  more  probable  that  Shakspeare  uses  the 
word  in  a  sense  which  ia  common  in  some  of  the 
western  countie.^,  where  it  means  the  courstc,  or 
piwsage,  of  the  plonp^hshare  up  the  furrow.  This 
is  the  W.  kynt,  0-W.  hent  [Zeuu,  IW,  101),  a 
way,  a  course,  correspontling  to  the  Latin  sewt-w 
and  the  Gothic  sintk».  The  words  of  Hamlet 
would  convey  to  the  mind  of  a  West-cmmtryman  a 
very  forcible  image  ;  the  sword  in  its  Bhearinfj 
through  the  flesh  being  compared  to  the  pananjfe 
of  the  ploughshare  through  the  earth.  One  of  the 
qurirtos  reads,  **  Take  thou  a  more  horrid  /anf," 
and  hence  tome  editora  have  exphiined  the  word 
as  nicanin*^  a  suggeMion.  This  is,  however,  only 
another  form  of  henl^  which  is  sometimes  written 
hini  (Zeusi,  22).  This  form  is  used  by  Shakspeare 
in  another  passage  : — 

•*  Our  hint  of  woe 
ft  common  ;  everj  d&j  some  SAUor'a  wife, 
Tbo  TUBsteri  of  some  mercbAnt,  and  the  mcrchunt 
Have  just  our  theme  of  woe.*'  Tempest,  ii.  1. 

Mr.  Collier  says  that  "  Gonxalo  seems  to  call  it  a 
hint  of  woe,  in  reference  to  its  comp»rative  triHing- 
ness  and  ordinary  occurrence."  But  a  disastrous 
shipwreck,  in  which  he  and  his  compHnions  had 
bardy  escaped  with  life,  would  hardly  be  called  a 
mere  hint  of  woe,  in  this  sense  of  the  word.  A 
ujore  satisfactory  explanation  is  that  Gonzalo 
meant  to  say,  "  Our  course,  or  manner,  of  woe  h 
common."

NOTES  AND  QUERIES, 


[5**  a  V. 


This  is  a  word  that  has  given  much  trouble  to  all 
the  editors  of  Shakspearc.  It  ia  generally  altered 
to  p€ac€eh  Theobald  «uffgested  paildock  (a  toad). 
Mr  Knight  noticeiv  with  approval,  a  conjecture 
made  by  Mr.  Caldecott,  that  there  is  here  a  re- 
ference to  the  Italian  fratocco,  a  piece  of  money  of 
about  three  farthings  value.  W©  need  not  go, 
however,  beyond  the  languages  of  the  Teutonic 
stock  for  the  origin  of  the  word.  It  is  probably 
the  Low  German  (Friesic)  pojd'y  or  pajek^  a  boy  j 
puellus  is  the  translatioa  of  OutJien  ($.t\  paiHg), 
In  Sweden  the  modern  form  is  pojkcy  but  the  pro- 
vincial and  older  form  is  pajke=:piijfeL  In  the 
north  of  England  it  h  ahort'ened  into  pack^  and  in 
Denmark  into  pog.  In  all  these  countries  it  is 
med  as  a  terra  of  reproach.  The  Swedish  pajtt 
means  a  dirty,  snivelling  boy,  A  northern  peasant 
woman,  in  our  own  country,  will  adl  her  child  a 
dirty  or  a  nauyhty  jrjrtcfc,  when  trotiblesome,  es- 
pecially when  some  offence  against  cleanliness  has 
been  committed.  It  is  often  pronounced  broadly 
jHiackj  with  a  soond  not  ualike  the  paiackc  of  the 
folios.  The  meaning  of  the  passage  seems  to  be 
that,  instead  of  hits  father, — 

*'  Where  every  Qod  did  seem  t^  set  his  leal 
To  give  the  world  ftsaurance  of  a  ma;*/' 

the  queen  had  taken — 

"  A  6tkTe  thut  ii  not  twentieth  part  the  tithe 
Of  your  precedent  lord  " ; 

or,  in  the  passage  before  us,  "a  very,  very  pajockf' 
ie.,  a  mere  dirty  boy,  probably  with  some  refer- 
ence to  his  sensual  habits.

LeaVf  V.  3. 
Kares  observes  that  the  word  aoon  became 
obscure,  its  origin  not  being  generally  known,  and 
was  corrupted  into  goodymt.  His  own  explana- 
tion is,  that  it  is  a  French  word^  goughe  (lues 
ventrea)^  a  derivative  from  govge^  a  soldier's  trull. 
G(mge  is  found,  with  this  meaningj  in  all  the  Old 
rr.  dictionnriea,  but  there  is  no  trace  of  gougert  in 
Cot^ave,  R<jquefort,  or  Le  Roux.  It  seems  to  be 
a  coinage  of  the  doctor's  own  brain.     Tieck  says  : 

**  The  ffood-yeare  of  the  folio  ta  used  ironically  for  tlie 
lad-yeartt  th^  year  of  pea tilence,  und,  like  tl  matamw 
of  the  Italiaaa,  has  long  been  u«ed  as  a  curse  in  England. 
And  jct  the  cdilore,  who  understood  the  poet  as  httte  as 
their  own  language,  mode  out  of  Lhis  the  goujecra, 
tnorAiM  Oalticui/* 

It  may  be  doubted,  however,  whether  Tieck  has 
been  more  successful  than  the  editors  of  whom  he 
speaks  so  scornfully.  He  certainly  has  not  proved 
that  the  term  good-year  has  ever  been  nsed  ironi- 
cally in  England.  In  the  West,  the  word  goujere 
is  still  us<?djaad  means  a  fiend  or  devil  (see  Wright's 
DkL,  iA\  GQodger,  and  the  statement  of  a  writer 


in  "N.  &  Q.,"  V.  607),  The  expre^sioT 
the  goujere,"  ia  therefore  equivalent  ta 
the  deuce."  The  goujrrfs  referred  to  h 
Lear  are  neither  the  juotbus  GallicitM  nor] 
pestilence,  but  hellish  demons,  often  repi 
in  mediaeval  drawings  as  preying  on  the, 
their  unhappy  victims;.  So  Dante,  in  the  j 
describes  Count  Ugolino  as  gnawing  ever^ 
skull  of  hi»  murderer,  Ruggieri,

e  bcaaty  of  them.  I  formed  to  mywlf  ideas

follows,  •*  the  Roman  and  Italic  arc  all

ference  to  the  cost  of  his  pursuits,  and 
'  they  attracted  :  "  After  having  spent 
I,  ana  not  a  little  of  my  fortuae,  in  my 
mce  this  art,  I  must  own  that 


it  gives  me  great  satisfaction  to  fiad  that  my  edition 
of  Virgii  has  been  so  favourably  received." 

This  Virgil  Baskerville  immediately  afterwards 
styles  "  theirs*  attempt  '*  \  he  states  that  it  is  not 
hia  desire  to  print  many  books,  **  but  only  such  as 
are  books  of  tonMipunc^^  of  intrijinc  rneritf  or 
e^tahlishid  reputation^  and  which  the  public  may

chase at  such  a  price  aa  will  repay  the  extraor- 
dinary care  and  expense  that  must  neceaaarily  be 
bestowed  on  them." 

Eeferring  then  to  the  t^aradm  Loti^  he  eaya : — 

"  If  this  performance  shall  appear  to  persons  of  Jadg- 
ment  and  penetration,  in  the  Pajtp',  Lrtier,  hU-,  and 
WortmniuhJp,  to  excel,  I  hope  their  approbation  may 
contribute  to  procure  for  me  what  would  indeed  be  the 
extent  of  tiiy  ambit  iun,  a  power  to  print  an  octaro  Com- 
nton  Prayer'  Hook  and  a  Indlio  BIBLE. 

"Hhould  it  be  my  good  f  »rtune  to  meet  with  this  in< 
dulgence.  I  would  uie  lay  utmost  efTorta  to  perfect  an 
edition  of  them  with  the  greateit  elegance  and  correct' 
neM." 

I  cannot  here  speak  aa  to  the  folio  Bible,  but 
as&uredlv  the  octavo  Prayer  Book,  printed  at 
Cambridge  in  17(jl,  and  now  at  my  aide,  fully 
carries  out  the  intentions  of  Ba*kerviOe  as  to 
*'  elegance,"  and  I  assume,  from  the  care  displayed 
in  other  points,  as  to  "  correctnews  "  also.  This 
edition  cost,  so  the  tille-pa^^e  informs  ua,  **  eight 
shillings  and  sixpence,  unbound."  The  price  of 
Paradhi  Lost  is  not  marked,  but  it  is  likely  to 
have  been  about  the  simie  figure-  I  find  that 
more  than  elev^^n  hundred  subscribers'  names 
(anioDg  whom  Messrs.  R.  aud  J.  Dodaley  are  put 
down  for  one  hundred  "setts")  arc  prefixed  to 
the  poem  ;  a  good  earnest  of  that  support  which 
gave  Baskerville  the  power  to  put  forth  the  sub- 
sequent Prayer  Book  and  Bible. 

Beaumarchais,  I  understand,  purchased  Basker- 
ville'a  types,  punches,  and  matrices,  with  which 
he  printed  at  Kehl,  between  1785-9,  a  splendid 
edition  of  Voltaire's  works  in  seventy  vols.  8vo. 
Did  Biiskerviltedie  before  this  sale  of  his  stock-in- 
trade  took  place,  or  was  be  eventually  imfortunate 
in  business,  and  thus  obliged  to  transfer  his  typeR 
to  the  clever  Frenchman?  With  these  queries, 
and  yet  one  more,  via.,  what  ia  the  date  of  the 
folio  Bible,  if  ever  printed,  I  finish  this  rambling 
note.  Cbkscknt,

is,  "Sttttar.*'  Thus  rendered,  "What  are  you

"  2ViW  was  Deujosthenes,"  meaning,  "  You  surely 
don't  assert  that  the  other  was  not  Cicero."  But 
I  hiwi  not  the  presence  of  raind  to  say  so,  and  his 
blunder  wub  put  to  iny  account.  He  had  only  got 
up  hist  Juvenal  for  the  examinationj  and  the  Phi-

Writkr'8  Errors.— As  the  phrase  "clerical 
errors "  has  been  bj  some  deemed  amhij^uous,  I 
would  point  out  that  it  can  be  avoided  by  saying 
*'  erroFs  of  the  scribe/'  or  "  errors  of  the  writer," 
or  simply  **  writer's  errors.**  To  say  that  such  or 
such  a  mistake  was  due  to  "a  writer's  error,'*  or 
to  an  *^  error  in  writing,"  is  intelligible  enough, 
and  is  distinct  from  an  author's  error  on  the  one 
hand,  and  from  a  printer's  error»  or  error  of  the 
press,  on  the  other.  I  have  seen  *'  scribal  error  " 
used,  but  the  adjective  sounds,  to  me,  rather 
clumsy. 

I  was  reminded  of  this  hy  having'  juat  discovered 
one  of  the  oddest  writer'a  errors  1  ever  remember 
to  have  seen.  I  h^ul  occasion  to  quote  the  text, 
from  1  Tim.  vL  10,  that  "  the  love  of  money  is  the 
root  of  all  evil/'  and,  Ju8t  aa  I  was  wrilint;  it  out, 
«ome  nolae  called  off  my  attention.  On  looking 
a^in  at  the  filS.  I  found,  to  my  grexit  surprise, 


thntj  instead   of  *'  money,"  I  had   inadverteol 
written  "  woman."     I  am  glad  the  quotation 
not  go  to  press  in  that  remarkuble  form.

Mmj*\zint  for  November  last  is  an  article  on  **TllB 
Survival  of  Paganism,"  in  which  it  is  stated,  of 
perhaps  T  whould  rather  my  sugi^ested,  that  Tbotntf 
Taylor,  ihe  Platonist,  was  the  author  of  a  pampblel, 
published  in  1789,  entitled  A  Ntw  Sysfem  c/Bt- 
ligion.  I  am  interested  in  all  that  relates  to  T*J' 
lor,  and  shidl  be  glad  Uy  know  what  authority 
there  is  for  attribiitinje;  this  work  to  him.  It  " 
not,  I  think,  mentioned  as  his  in  any  of  the  pa^ 
lished  lists  of  hia  writings,  nor  hiive  I  seen  i* 
attributed  to  him  elsewhere.  The  gentleman  «fc* 
contributed  the  life  of  Taylor  to  the  Pmny  fyfo- 
ptrdia  told  me  that  the  list  of  hia  works  ihewia 
was,  he  wa.s  certain,  accurate,  as  it  was  taken  do»li 
from  his  own  lips.  Edward  Pjiacocc.

Kn«:^f  CrrArEL,  Cambiiidoe.— The  stained  glass 
ihe  '  ihts  of  the  side  windows  of  Kinii's 

.13  believed  (for  reasons  ubieh  I 
ftted  not  ^o  into  now)  to  have  bceti  put  wp  flboiit 
1516(i  or   a   little   earlier.      It    Iiilb    the    arms  of 
Etnrj  VllL,  encircled  with    tlie  garter,  in  the 
beii)  of  ejich  window,  and  the  following  biidgea 
\U   (arranged   in  order  of  frequency  of 
\ce)  : — Lancaster  rose  ;    hawthorn    bush  ; 
fleur-de-lis ;    n.    e.   (for   Henry   VII. 
kbeth  of  York) ;  Tnd*ir  rose  ;  h,  r.  ;  mse 
;  u*  K.  (for  Henry  VIII.  and   Katharine 
>n) ;    poiuejjrmnat^,  occurring  twice  only, 
iwthorn  bush  occurs  more  than  fifty  times, 
^os  a  green  bush  ;  but  in  seven  inf^tiinccB  it 
ntAed  proper,"  i.e.,  it  has  tivo  red  berries  on 
vliich  Are  so  lar^^e  in  proportion  to  the  size  of 
bji»h  Ml  to  look  like  red  roae«,  and  in  seven 
ttaoces  an  exactly  similnir  bush  h.*i?*  ivhite 
hlossotns  on  it.     What  can  this  be  1     Is  it 
that  in  the   early  years  of   Henry  VIII. 
inpAiif  roMt  bush  would  appear  in  the  windows  of 
[apf'jal  college,  which  were  paid  for  by  the  execu- 
W  of  Henry  VII.  ?    What  other  inatance*  sire 
^Wre  of  the  rose  en  soled  being  used  as  a  royd 
l^e  at  rhat  tiiue  ?     I  bilieve  it  was  used  by  the 
ifes  both  of  Lancaster  and  York.     In  this  case 
outline  is  gold  on  a  white  shield.      In  the 
of  the  east  window  (supposed  to  be  of  the 
of  1527),  alone  with  Lancaster  and  Tudor 
portcullises,  fleurs-de-lis,  h.  e.,  n.  k,,  it.  r., 
nrms  of  Henry  VI I L,  are  two  gold  ostrich 
each  with  an  e-^croll  bearing  the  words, 
Bleu."     They  answer  to  the   destTsptinn  of

'*railf/rjf,  Jfistoriml  and  Popular,  second  edition, 
W  p.  234).     Can  nny  one  expkin  why  they 
mid  hjive  been  used  at  thut  date,  when  there 
no  Prince  of  Wale^,  other  thEin   the  king  ? 
initials  n.  k.  are  crowned  (in  one  instance),  so 
ihe  glasa  must  be  later  than  1509  ;  besides 
jfcidi,  the  contract  with  the  glaziers  for  the  glass 
'  (bis  window  (among  others)  is  dated  April  311, 
and  the  style  of  the  ghiss  in  the  tracery 
^corresponds  with  that  in  the  lower  lights, 
not  the  cjtse  with  the  side  windows,  where 
r»a»  in  the  tracery  lights  is  all  of  one  charac- 
and  is  evidently  earlier  than  the  rest. 
Among  the  coats  of  arms  behind  the  stalls  in

But  when  Rubbi  Manassea  threw  stones  at  Mercury,  in 
contempt  and  defiance  of  the  imaffe  snd  the  false  gitd, 
he  was  questioned  for  idolatry,  and  puid  his  liberty  in 
exchange  for  his  outward  worship  of  what  bo  secretly 
hated  :  hut  by  his  external  act  he  was  brought  to  jadg-

case  of  eyery  ons  that,  ia  a  state  of  sin,  cornea  to  the 
holy  f&crament :  he  comes  to  receire  the  bread  of  God, 
and  throws  vk  stone  at  him  ;  he  pretends  worship,  and 
secretly  hates  him  ;  and  no  mun  must  come  hither,  but 
all  thj3.t  is  within  him,  and  nit  thi-t  is  withoat,  must  bo

ciist  stones."' 

Coverdale  has,  "as  yf  a  man  dyd  cast  a  precious 
stone  vpon  a  galous." 

The  Geneva  Version,  "as  the  closing  up  of  a 
preciotit  stx^ne  in  an  heape  of  stones." 

The  Bishnpa'  Bible,  "that,  is  even  aa  if  a  man 
wimld  biude  a  atone  in  a  sling,"  with  this  cote, 
"  Of  would  hide  a  precious  stone  in  an  heape  of 
atones." 

Our  version  baa  a  marginal  reading,  "  Or  as  he 
that  putteth  a  precious  si  one  in  an  heap  of  stoneis.** 
It  seems  to  be  derived  from  the  Biishops'  Bible,  so

So  striking,  indeed,  in  the  variation  of  the 
Vulgate  from  the  original,  that  the  question  arisesij 
Wliere  did  the  truBshitor  obtain.  hiB  idea  ?  St. 
Jerome  appears  to  liavtj  been  misled  bj,  and  t^jo 
hastily  adopted,  the  gloss  of  thiA  proverb  in  the 
Talmud. 

"The  niitster  wlio  teaches  the  law  t-o  a  pupil 
who  is  unworthy  (of  instruction)  ia  (acts)  aa  if 
he  threw  a  stooe  at  a  stone  statue  consecrated 
to  Mercury."  Aben-Ezra  would  give  to  n'iii'i  the 
meaning  of  loaiK,  "  purple,'*  and  to  p«  tliat  of  ''  an 
ordinary  st-one,"  and  render  it  thus  :  "  A  bag  of 
common  stones  on  purple  cloth  ia  the  aame  na  con- 
ferring honour  on  a  fool.*'  For,  as  nothing  is  so 
displaced  as  a  aU^ne  on  a  piece  of  fine  (imperial) 
purple  doth,  bo  are  honours  ill  placed  when  be- 
stowed upon  a  fooL 

The  sense  of  the  marginal  translation  in  our 
Bible  seems  clear  and  correct:— "As  he  who 
putteth  a  (precioug)  stone  in  a  heap  of  stones*" 
Accordingly,  the  sense  would  be — to  confer  honour 
on  a  fool  is  as  if  one  threw  a  hag  of  diamonds  on  a 
heap  of  common  atones.  Luther's  version,  there- 
fore, of  Edelstein,  *'  a  precious  stone,"  and  Raben- 
Btein,  "  a  common  black  stone,"  is  not  far  wide  of 
the  mark. 

The  prorerb  itself  has  its  enuivalent  in  the 
expression  in  Matthew  vii.  6  : — Mi)  ^nZrt  ri  ayiov 
TOts  Kvalf  fifi^i  l^dkifTi  tof?  fiapyapira<i  vfxiiiv

holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither  cast  ye  your  pejirls 
before  swine."  Compare  also  Proverbs  ix.  8, 
xxiii.  9.  WruLrAM  Platt. 

ConserratiTO  dub. 

Dr.  Adam  Clarke's  conjecture  is  not  original. 
Tirious,  quoted  by  Poole  in  the  Synapsis  Criti- 
cmum^  says  : — 

"  Hietoaymua  alludit  ad  acenroi  laiiidwrn  quoB  gontilei 
olim  Mercurio,  Tisrum  dt}cl,iti  triviiauauid  procutab  fjui 
itatuia  accamulnbttnt,  ut  in  bonorem  Dei  iaticia  riu  at> 
oflendicuJis  cxpurgarent,''  ^c. 

GrotiuSj  also  cited  by  Poole,  supports  this  ex- 
planation. Such  heaps  of  stones  as  those  referred 
to  above  were  called  </>^ifiK<:9. 

Jemtne  and  other  interpreter  probably  shared 
Mr.  Oaklet's  despair  of  arriving  at  the  true 
meaning  of  the  proverb,  and  strove  to  make  it 
intelligible  by  referring  it  t<j  a  custom  with  which 
their  readers  would  be  familiar  i — 

' QoMle  nt  cvdtum  exhihen  M«rcario>  tale  est  itulto 


dcferTQ  honorera  ;  utmnique  Tidehcet  seqae  implum, 
ear*  I  urn  et  Tauiatu." 

The  Geneva  Bible  translates  :^ 
"As  the  closinjf  Tp  of  a  preciou*  ftone  in  an 
■tones,  «o  iH  be  that  giueth  gloiy  to  a  foola.*' 

On  a  similar  rendering  Poole  notes  in  lae^  :■ 

*'  Perinde   facit  qui  Btalto  jfloriam  impertltur, 
iKpidem  prt'tioffiim  una  cum  palatjusponeret  in  coij| 
lapidum  vulgarium  ubi  ignoretur  et  proculcet^ir.' 

[n  the  *'iiDa  cum  pala  ejus"  of  this  note 
have  an  evident  link  with  the  rendering  of  otiri 
version,    '^ftinda"    being  translatable  either 
sling  or  the  bezel  of  a  ring. 

Ludovicus  de  Dieu  attempts  to  get  oret 
difficulty  by  rendering  the  passage — 

'*  8icut  flcrupulufl  [apidla  in  acerro  lapidum  n^**

ncc  qujcquatn  acerro  addit :  ita,  il  gloriam  tribua* 
nibil  indo  ad  eum  accedit,  nee  conspicua  est  in  ipco. 

To  give  but  one  more  conjecture,  cited  also 
Poole  :— 

**  Liipis  hic  poni  potest  pro  pondcre  certo»  qoi 
nam  lapii  pent itur  inutiltter,  st  ad  iDdignum  huiM 
Jieiatur  locum." 

This  interpretation  Matthew  Henry 
his  notes  on  the  verse  in  question,  and 
another  explanation,  or  rather  guess,  to 
ferred  to  aWve.     He  says  : — 

"  Honour  ii  not  wemlj  for  a  fool ;  here  he  ahoiral 
it  it  lost  and  thrown  away  upon  him  ;  as  if  a  maa 
throw  a  precious  stone,  or  a  stoott  fit  to  be  used  ia 
inpc,  into  a  heap  of  common  Btonea,  where  it 
buried^  and  of  no  use  ;  it  ia  aa  absurd  aa  if  a  man

^ioD  that  *'  it  la  questionuble  whether 


!\ay  of  the  philologists  cited  are  of  much  authority 
on  matters  etymological."  As  these  authorities 
comprise  the  names  of  Max  Miiller,  Littr^,  Brachet, 
and  others  of  no  mean  fume,  it  is  mther  too  much 
to  expect  that  their  conclusions  are  to  bo  sum- 
marily  set  aside  by  an  unsupported  assertion 
couched  in  not  very  courteous  terras.  The  ques- 
tion is  worth  a  little  further  examination. 

It  is  quite  true  that  the  older  etymDloglats  de- 
rive /jewr,  bonJiair^  itml/wrwr,  from  Aora,  Menage 
says,  ttib  voc.  Ilatr^  "  De  bora.  Parceqne  lea

Uriquotf  p,  247,  "i/ora  Hitpe  pm  b^jroscopo." 
*'  Quod  in  idiouiate  Romanitatis  infimai  mimait  ut 
hona  hora  pro  bona  genitura  .  .  .  et  mala  hora, 
pro  infortunio."  These  writers  forgot,  or  never 
knew,  that  words  have  a  history^  and  it  wtis  left 
for  the  modern  school  of  philologists,  by  carefully 
tracing  back  every  derivative  to  its  r^idica!,  to 
arrive  at  the  truth  in  iuijuiries  of  this  kind. 
Adapting  this  principle,  we  find  that  the  old  French 
form  is  bon^a-nr^  the  o-tir  being  a  contracted  form 
of  rtti[g)ur-t'wT«.. 

M,  Camus  is  strictly  correct  in  his  statements, 
but  a  few  words  in  confirmation  may  be  permitted. 
All  Latin  words  of  the  first  declension— so  far  as  I 
know,  without  exception — in  passing  into  French, 
retain  the  feminine  gender  ;  hora  thus  becomes 
hcure.  i/ciir,  however,  is  masculine,  and  can  only 
be  accounted  for  by  a  different  genesilog}'.  We 
have  bonne  hetire  in  French,  which  hiis  a  very 
different  signification  from  bonheur.  In  Itjdian 
hiwii'  ora  means  niuch  the  samo  as  bonne  A^wre, 
but  hitofi'  iiria  has  the  same  meaning  as  6on/tettr, 
good  fortune.  Brachet  explains  the  problem  very 
clearly  :  "  Anffurium^  ae  njduLsant  a  a(g)nriumf

d'oit  la  forme  moderne  heur  par  la  proathese  d'an

lo^'y  with  hora.     He  continues  i— 

"  Lea  MLVAHtfl  qui  nnt  tir£  A<i:iir  de  hora  ont  commta

The  Use  or  the  Pastoral  Staff  (S***  S.  v. 
69.)— Whether  a  hiehop  who  has  resipied  bL<  .*ee 
should  use  a  pastoral  stiiff  I  cannot  say,  hut  I  should 
he  inclined  to  look  upon  a  pastoral  stutf  as  an  em- 
blem of  a  bishop*s  office  rather  than  of  his  pai-Hcu- 
lar  difirge  over  a  diocese.  The  ciise  of  a  Roman 
GBtholic  conrl  jutor  bishop  is  rat  her  d  i  ffercnt.  Such 
a  bishop  is,  I  believe,  always  titular  bi.^hop  of  some 
see  in  partihm  inftfeiiiim^  and  his  right  to  a  pastoral 
staff  might,  therefore,  rest  upon  his  titular  charge. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  I  saw  the  caidjut^r  of  the 
Archbishap  of  Paris,  who  is  one  of  the  Canons  of 
Notre  Banie,  officiate  at  the  Corpus  Christi  festival 
a£  Notre  Dame  m  1974,  und  he  had  a  pastortd 


staff ;  bat  then  he  is  ''  Bishop  of  Qeratd 
may  have  entitled  him  to  it.  An  Eag] 
Buffra^n  has  undoubtedly  a  right  to 
staff,  if  a  diocesan  bishop  has ;  for  the 
1549  directs  the  arckbifiihop  to  hand  t 
staff  to  the  bishop  during  the  consecrat 
eicception  to  this  ceremony  is  ordered 
in  the  case  of  a  bishop- suffragan.  I  m 
as  an  English  bishop-sufiragan  ia  morw  i

I 


If,  as  I  take  it,  the  pastoral  staff 
office,  and   not  of   order,   a   "  returai 
biahop,"  or  a  bishop  who  has  re^i  ^"-^d 
no  manner  of  ri^bt  to  use  iL    A 
implies  something  Bymboh'zed.  -..l 

the  pitstorid  staffs  a  symbol  borrower

"  A  returned  colomal  bishop  '*  or  a  biah 
reiiigoed  hi»  office  has  no  longer  a  flo4 
consequently,  as  far  as  I  can  se*,  he  1 
to  the  symbol  which  implies  the  tendliij| 
Apropos  of  thisj  when  a  bishop,  home 
resigns  his  sec,  he  cefises  to  quarter  t 
that  ice  with  his  own,  and  to  desigDate 
its  name.  Edmund  Ti 

According  to  the  Cittholic  rite,  a  I 
not  use  the  pastoral  staff  out  of  his  dioi

The  Princess  SoniKaKA  (5^  S.  v.  9, 38, 94.)— In 
reference  to  the  question  raised  in  the  editors  note 
on  p.  94 — how  the  Princcaa  waa  disguised — there 
is  a  very  interesting  letter  in  the  Baron  de 
Pollnitz'a  Memoir*  (1737,  iL  p.  55),  giTing  an 
account  of  her  escape.  The  letter  is  dated  from 
Rome,  March  10,  1731.     He  says  :— 

"Having  fixed  on  the  day  for  carryinjr  her  off,  and 
even  appointed  tbe  bour.  which  was  eleTifn  at  night, 
they  got  a  young  womnn  of  the  Princess's  stature  [Mrt. 
Misaet's  maid]  to  pana  through  the  i;uarJi  in  the  anti^ 
chamber,  and  to  lie  in  the  prisoner's  bed,  who  for  two 
days  bad  pretended  to  be  »ick.  The  Princess  put  on  the 
girl's  clottths,  and  in  that  disguise  went  out  of  her  apart- 
ment«  passed  thnmgh  tbe  gutLrds,  and  went  up  to  Muttt, 
who  gave  a  whistle  opposite  to  the  Convent,  a3  had  been 
agreed  on  beforchandL,  that  she  might  know  whom  to 
apply  to.  Tbe  Princess  was  conducted  to  an  Iqu»  and  as 
it  snow'd  a  great  deal,  and  was  very  dirty  and  dark,  she 
happen'd  to  step  into  »  Sluugb  ;  one  of  her  Shoes  stuck 
so  fast  in  the  mud  that  sUe  waa  obliged  to  leave  it  behind 
her,  and  to  walk  only  with  one  Shoe  on  to  the  Inn. 
From  thence^  without  giving;  herself  time  to  change  her 
Stockings,  she  went,  wet  am!  dmggled  as  she  was,  into  a 
coiuih,  wber«  Mm.  Miutt  and  Mr.  Oai/don  had  the 
honour  to  sit  with  her.  Wotjan,  rode  by  the  side  of  tha 
coach,  uiul  MuKt  slay'd  two  hours  longor  at  Inipruch  to 
!»ee  whether  nny  discovery  was  made  of  tb«  Princeas'a 

flight She  trHvetlsd  three  days  and  nights  succeaaively 

without  rest" 

PoUnitz  probibly  heard  these  detail?  from  the 
Princess  or  her  immediate  attendants.  He  was 
much  charmed  with  her,  and  speaks  of  her  fluent 
conven^utioD  in  English,  French,  Polish,  Italian, 
and  GcrmiTin. 

In  referring,  anU,  p.  38,  to  the  Stuart  papers,  I 
ought  t^  biive  added  tliat  the  volume  of  these  MSS., 
published  by  Mr.  Glover,  with  lier  Mnjest/a  per- 
mission, in  1847,  does  not  contain  the  letters  relat- 
ing' to  the  Princess  Sobieska's  escape,  which,  I 
believe,  have  not  been  printed. 

The  in.scriptions  on  the  tombs  at  Rome  and 
Frascati  are  all  given  by  Pichot  in  the  HistQirc  dn 
ChurUs  Edouard,  1833.  He  observes  that  death 
had  at  last  terminated  the  rivalry  between  the 
kings  by  right  and  tbe  kings  in  fact.  The  inscrip- 
tion on  the  Cardinal  York'a  medal,  *' Henncus 
nonus  Anglitt?  Rex  Gmtia  Dei  sed  non  voluntate 
Hominum,*'  of  which,  I  believe,  one  waa  sent  to 
the  Prince  Regent,  was  considered  as  a  formal  re- 
nunciation of  any  contingent  claim  to  royalty  by 
tbe  bst  of  tbe  Stuarts.  Edward  Solly.

Sir  James  Balfour,  hros  Kino  (5**»  S.  v. 
167.) — In  Mr,  George  Seton'a  vdimble  .'intl  in- 
teresting work  on  t he  Law  and  Fractue  o/  Ihraldry 
in  Scotland  (Edinburgh,  Edmonston  Sc  Bou;jrlaa, 
IRfi.'J;,  there  is  g[iven  a  series  of  bin^mphical 
notices  of  the  Lyon  Kings  from  the  middle  of  the 
fifteenth  century  to  the  date  of  publication.  As 
your  correspondent  may  not  have  ready  access  to 
this  hook,  I  will  olTer  him  some  extracta  from  the 
account  of  Sir  James  Balfour,  the  eleventh  in  the 
succession  of  the  Lords  Lyon  whose  biographies 
Mr.  Seton  is  able  to  give. 

Born  about  the  year  1600,  Sir  James  Bulfour  of 
Deniuila  and  Kionaird,  co.  Fife,  was  knighted  in 
lC30j  and  treated  a  baronet  by  the  above  designa- 
tion in  1633.  He  succeeded  his  father,  Sir 
Michael,  in  the  estate  of  Denmiln  in  lCfi2.  To 
1630  he  w^aa  appointed  Lyon  Kintj-of-Arms,  on 
the  resignation  of  Sir  Jeronje  Lindsay  of  Annnt- 
land,  and  continued  in  office  till  1G54,  when  he 
resigned,  refusing  to  sen*e  under  the  Protector. 
Oliver  Cromwell  tippointed  Sir  James  Canjpbell, 
of  Lawers,  in  165B  ;  so  there  would  appear  to  have 
been  an  interre,f,'^nuni  of  four  years.  On  the  Slst  of 
August,  16fi(t,  Gilbert  Stewart  seem.H  to  hsive  been 
appointed,  but  only  to  a  phnntoui  kingHhip,  for  the 
warntnt  in  favour  of  Sir  Alexander  Durham,  of 
Largo,  was  made  out  on  the  2Slh  of  the  same 
month.  Sir  James  Balfour  died  in  1657,  and  was 
buried  at  the  Kirk  of  Abdie,  in  Fife,  as  is  avouched

— Could  Mr.  Titomr  tell  nie  the  names  of  the  sis- 
ters of  Stanislaus,  King  of  Poknd  ?  The  letters 
of  la  Comteaae  Tyszkiewiez,  Princeaae  Foniatowska, 
do  not  mention  them,  although  her  correspondent 
asked  her  to  do  so.  Hardy,  in  hi"?  Life  of  Charh- 
mon(,  Rays  that  Stanif^laus  visited  England,  as  a 
private  gentlemiin,  in  1754.  My  reason  for  asking 
for  some  infonoation  about  his  family  is  that  I 
have  been  reading  lately  some  rather  interesting 
letters  from  a  gentleman  who,  in  mnking  the 
"  grand  tour  "  about  the  middle  of  the  last  cen- 
tury, stayed  for  a  while  at  Warsaw,  and  was  much 
at  the  Court  of  Stanislaus,  and  a  favourite  of  bii?. 
It  is  curious  to  s^ee  how  comiiletely  unconscious 
the  courtly  circle  seem  to  have  been  of  their  np- 
proaching  doom.  Balls,  masquerades,  hunting 
with  a  pack  of  imported  English  hounds,  aU  kinds 
of  fcMivities,  sjpcm  to  have  been  going  on  in  full 
swing  till  the  fatal  hour  came.         Hiuersicus.

Portraits  ov*  Swift  (5*^  S.  W.  206,  235,  309.) 
Apropos  of  thiK  subject,  allow  me  to  ask  about  the 

r^rtrait,  naezzotint,  inBcribed  "  Jonathan  Swift, 
.  .T.D.,  Dean  of  the  Cathedml  Church  of  St. 
Patrick's  in  Dublin."  **P.  Pelham,  feet.;  J. 
Bowles,  cxcudt.'* 

I  desire  to  know  when  this  print  appeared,  and 
whether  the  Peter  Pelham  can  be  the  artist  who 
caitie  tjD  Boston,  New  England,  about  1725-6. 

I  notice  in  Noble's  House  of  Cromwdl  (i.  302, 
edit.  1787)  that  he  mentions  an  cngr^ivod  portrait 
of  Oliver  Cromwell,  R  Walker,  p.  ;  P.  Pelham, 
exc,  1723.  I  believe  thw  i»  pronounced  to  be  one 
of  the  best,  if  not  the  best,  of  the  great  Protector. 

I  have  already  C4*^  S.  xiL  118)  spoken  about 
the  probability  that  there*  were  two  Peter  Pelh:ims, 
engraverg,  but  I  have  never  elicited  any  informa- 
tion aa  to  the  death  of  the  senior.  Now,  I  would 
ask  whether  the  portrait  of  Swift  ia  to  be  attributed 
to  the  elder  or  the  younger ;  and  I  would  renew 
my  inquiry  for  a  list  of  engrared  portrait*  by  any 
Peter  Pelham,  hoping  thereby  to  get  sufficient 
data  to  aep&rate  the  two  artists. 

W.   H.  WlilTMORK. 
Boston,  U.S.  A. 

In  the  collection  of  miniatures  exhibited  in  the 
Leeds  Exhibition  of  18G8,  I  remeriil>er  seeing 
one  of  Dean  Swift,  numb*ircd  3158,  minted  by 
Bludon,  and  exhibited  by  the  Duke  of  Euccleuch. 
It  represents  Swift  aa  a  rather  yuuug  man,  dreaaed 
in  gown  and  bands,  with  a  powdereii  periwig  ;  the 
eyes  reB^arkably  handsome,  of  a  bright  blue  colour; 
the  execution  of  the  miniature  ex(|U)8ite. 

E.   K,   R0DSDKLL, 

Pkierts*  Bells,  or  "  Ting-Tang  "  (6^'*  S.  it 
IRH,  257,  .356.)— Although,  according  to  Dr.  Rock, 
the  Sancte  bell  may  have  been  rung  after  the  ring- 
ing of  the  iigna  or  large  bells,  aa  a  warning  that  a 
sermon  was  to  be  preached,  still  that  has  not  been 
the  case,  at  least,  in  post- Reformat  ion  timea. 
When  Hugh  Latimer  preached  at  Melton  Mow- 
bmy,  Leicestershire,  temp.  Ed.  VI.,  the  "great 
bell "  was  (as  the  churchwardens*  accounts  tell  usj 
nmg  for  his  sermon,  and  the  (so  far  as  I  am  aware) 
invariable  custom  still  is  to  ring  the  tenor  in  all 
places  where  a  sermon  bell  is  u>>ed.  The  inscrip- 
tion on  the  tenor  bell  at  Banbury  is  : — 
"  1  ring  t->  tennon  with  a  lusty  booiaep 

That  all  may  come,  and  none  roay  itay  at  hom«/* 

I  am  of  opinion  that,  if  our  bell-chambers  were 
searched,  a  few  more  ancient  Sanctus  bells  would 
be  found  thnn  those  enumerated  by  T.  F.  R.  ; 
indeed,  I  biivc  found  one  in  Leicestershire  (which 
I  shall  point  out  in  my  Clmrck  Bells  of  that 
county)  and  another  in  Rutland.

"THE  ANATOMY  OF  THE  ENGLISH  NUNNERY 
AT  LISBON." 

The  above  was  "  published  by  &athoritie  "  as  a 
Quarto  tract  in  1622.  The  dedication  to  Thomas 
Gurlin,  the  tnayor,  and  the  ddermeQ  of  Kings 
Lyniit  is  signed  Thoiniw  Robioson.  Kobinson 
aeema  to  hitve  been  a  Bailor,  for  he  says  he  ia 
*'  better  skilled  in  tackes,  sbealB,  braces,  bowl  ins, 
&c  (»triUi>re  words,  perchance,  to  thy  understand- 
ing,  and  yet  no  canting),  then  in  veines,  sinewes, 
muscleg,  and  arteriea."  Books  of  this  kind,  pm- 
feftsing  to  leli  Bcandalous  stories  its  to  nima  and 
prieitii,  ore  comnion  enough  ;  usj  however,  they  are 
tncwtly  tuere  fictions,  such  things  are  of  small  value 
to  aityborly.  Robinaon'a  book  is  in  some  degree 
an  exception.  Not  that  I  believe  he  by  any 
means  endeavoured  to  tell  the  truth,  but  that  he 
oeTtainly  did  mix  up  soiiie  facts  with  his  fictions, 
and  thiit  ftonio  of  his  fable*  have  now  a  certain 
degree  of  interest  aa  showing  what  things  were  in 
those  days  likely  to  be  believed.  He  tellH  us  th:it, 
having  **  often  occasion  to  trnvcl  beyond  sea^^"  be 
becurae  acqiminted  with  Father  Setb,  alins  Joseph 
Foster,  an  English  friar,  who  lived  at  Lisbon,  and 
▼aa  confpfisor  to  the  English  nuns  there.  This 
Foster,  Robinson  asaerta,  employed  him  for  a  time 
as  a  kind  of  secretar}',  and  then  "dcpriued  me  of 
means  to  depart  front  him  by  taking  away  my 
ap))nreil  and  putting  me  into  a  disguized,  foolish 
habit."  This,  we  are  told,  waa  done  to  intluce  him 
to  become  a  brother  of  the  house  and  "raasae- 
priestj'  Most  probably  this  tale  was  retdly  in- 
vented to  account  for  the  minute  knowledge  which 
the  author  professes  to  have  of  the  inner  life  of  the 
convent. 

Robinaon  informs  us  that  the  nuns  were  in  the 
habit  of  singiPL:  obscene  and  sciirriloua  halhula, 
8tich  as  Bony  ydl^  and  th:it  Foster,  the  confessor, 
employed  hini'^elf  after  supper  in  reading  Fraw,* 
ana  Adonu  uml  the  je^ts  of  (jroorge  IVefe.  Most 
motlern  rcudera  who  know  anything  of  monasiUc 
life  will  think  the  above  pure  calumny,  but  it  is 
intcrcHtinj^  m  Bhowin^;  the  popularity  which  Vcnuti 
and  Adonic  hud  then  attained  among  people  like 
Robinson,  who  certainly  did  not  belong  to  the 
more  cultivated  cIam, 


Among  the  relics  which  Robinson  sayi 
religiously  preserved  was  a  piece  of  the  ol 
^iiowB,  '*  which  the  Jesuits  stole  aw 
England  because  it  had  beeoe  booom 
niftny  of  their  bretberen,  Trhicb  is  fa^d 
lease  esteme  then  the  holy  crosse  :  for  ( 
as  the  Master  died  on  that,  bo  his  dlM| 
vpon  this ;  and  these  ai«  aU  set 
richly  adorned," 

It  is  not  at  all  improbable  that 
the  wood  of  the  Tyburn  gallows-tree,' 
many  Catholic  martyrs  had  suffered,  shi 
been  preserved  as  a  relic  la  the^M 
evidence  that  it  was  so  except  the  ^M 
this  most  untrustworthy  person  ?         ^|

CcrsToifs :  Rannoch  (PERTnsfimR)  in 

ttart  1745,  RAonoch  was  iu  an  uod  vilixed 

I  «tate,  under  no  check  or  reatraint  of 

I  jto  evidence  of  this,  one  of  the  principal 

%  never  c<mld  be  compelled  to  pay  his 

Vo  mes&eogere  (officers  of  jiistico  for  the 

of  dilig»*nce  issuinii;  from  the  Court  of 

Scotland)  were  nent  frooi  Perth  to  give 

;e  of  lioming  (a  legal  writ  calling  upon 

ler    to   conform   to   ita   request    under 

feat,  should  the  debtor  fail,  the   officer 

le  blasts  of  a  horn,  and   thereupon  de- 

bim  a  rebel).     He  ordered  a  do/en  of  hU 

to  bind  them  across  two  hand-barrows 

f  ihera   in   this  state  to   the  bridge  of 

B,  aliout  twclre  miles  distant. 

I  period  the  inhabitantii  of  Rannocb  had 

hing  as  beds.     They  lay  on  the  ground 

ttle  heather  or  fern   under  tbeui.     One 

koket  w;i8    all   their   bedclothes.      Now 

ij  have  standing-up  beds  and  abundance 

At  that  time  the  houses  were  hula  of 

hey  called  "stake  and  rise."    One  could  not 

Jttt  on  all  fours  ;  and,  after  entering,  it  was 

tible  to  itand  upright.     Now  there  are  com- 

k  hnti3««,  built  of  stone.     Then  the  people 

■ily  dirty  and  foul-Hkinned.    Now  they 

y  and  as  well  clothed  as  their  cLr- 

wUl  admit. 


Food,  It  h  hardly  possible  to  believe  on  how 
little  the  Highbindera  Ibnnerly  lived.  They  hied 
their  cows  several  times  in  tlie  year,  boded  the 
blood,  ate  a  little  as  bread,  and  a  most  lusting 
meal  it  was.  Th©  present  incumbent  has  known  a 
poor  man,  who  had  a  wmoU  farm  hard  by  him 
(parish  of  ForlingaU),  by  this  means,  with  a  boll 
of  meal  for  every  mouth  in  his  family,  priM  the 
whole  year.  Seth  Wait. 

Witchcraft  is  Dorset, — Whilst  hell-hunting 
in  Dorset,  in  the  ppring  of  1871,  I  discovered, 
much  to  uiy  surprise,  that  the  churchwarden  (a 
farmer)  and  the  greater  part  of  the  vil lagers  at 
Batcotnbe  believed  in  witchcraft.  Indeed,  at  the 
fol lowing  Summer  Assizes  at  Dorchester,  a  worthy 
from  this  village  was  sentenced  to  undergo  six 
months'  durance  vile  for  thrashing  an  old  woman, 
who  was  currently  supposed  to  have  the  pr>wer  of 
bewitcbinij  people.  T.  Archer  Turner, 

Drayioti  Parslow. 

Ltke-fire  :  Lyke-wake  :  Mkll-bahv.  —  An 
*'  Old  Correapondeiit  "  of  the  Sumkrlaud  Herald 
writes  :— The  lust  '*  lyke-fire"  tbo  writer  ever  saw 
kindled  on  the  eve  of  the  nativity  of  St.  John  the 
Baptist  wtw  in  NomWrsgartb,  in  Bishop  Wear- 
inoiitb,  soiui*  years  after  they  had  ceased  to  be 
common  about-  Shell  Hill  and  the  Coney  Warren, 
in  Sunderhind- near- the -Sea,  The  last  "lyke- 
wake '*  amongst  Ihe  aborigines  of  Monk  Wear- 
mouth  of  which  the  writer  ever  heard  was  either  in 
ToplilF's  Kow  or  the  Back  Stables,  in  the  Shore 
Side  of  Monk  Wearmouth.  The  last  *'  raell-baby" 
round  which  he  witnessed  a  sort  of  Pyrrhic  danoe 
performed  by  the  shearers  and  gleaners,  was 
making  its  noisy  progress  down  the  Causeway — 
popuhirly  supposed  to  he  the  odI}'  right  and  proper 
way  to  carry  a  cfirpne  to  the  ancient  parish  church 
of  .St.  Peter.  These  old  customs  have  almost  passed 
from  living  memory,  and  may  not  be  preserved 
much  longer  in  oral  tradition  unless,  by  some  such 
coDiuuiQications  tvs  the  present,  they  come  to  be 
enibiiimed  in  type  and  paper.

Hawarden  (Captain  Munde^H  father),  was  born  in

HiTRTLiNG. — In  the  simimer  of  18(19  I  was 
standing  in  the  garden  of  the  rectory  of  Pulham, 
near  Sherborne,  in  Dorsetshire,  watching  the 
approach  of  a  thunder-storm.  Clouds  of  intense 
blacknesa  came  up  from  the  north  in  rolling  inasfses, 
very  unusually  near  the  eitrth.  As  they  cAine  on, 
a  strange  sound  stmck  my  ears,  which  at  first  I 
mistook  for  the  rusk  of  the  accompanying  wind  ; 
but  it  increased  as  Jhe  cliMidd  advanced,  till  I 
could  distinguish  it  na  a  coUtcUon  of  sounds.  It 
wfLS  the  formation  of  hail  in  the  whitening  mass, 
tlie  hurrying  and  jostling  of  the  ipi'CHlfp  of  ice, 
smiting  each  other  apparently,  and  gathering  into 
hailstoncK.  Though  always  a  wat<;her  of  storms,  I 
never  heard  anything  like  it  before  or  since.  No 
hail  fell  from  the  cloud  as  it  drove  directly  over 
my  bejul  ;  but  the  atmo^'phere  was  charged  with 
electricity^  and  the  hail  was  condensing.  About 
half  a  mile  further  on  the  stormcoiiunenced— largo 
hailstones,  vivid  lightning,  and  crushing  thunder. 
I  cmld  only  conipire  the  process  to  the  sudden 
arming  and  fonning  for  battle  of  a  host  taken  by 
surpri&e.  Then  first  I  understood,  by  experience 
of  the  seni^eii,  what  before  I  had  only  imagined, 
the  full  meaning  of  the  word  hurtk:  the  rufihing 
(tf  a  flight  of  arrou'8,  an«l  their  crossing  and  collision 
in  the  air,  in  ancient  war—a  metaphor  evidently 
referring  to  this  natural  phenomenon.

rtAQWORT. — Some  of  your  corresprjndent-s  have

Shhove  TtiFSDAY.— On  this  day,  a  aingular 
custom  prevailed  lately  (posaibly  still  dcies)  at 
Wellington,  in  Shropshire.  The  children  provide 
themselves  with  t  rum  pet  h,  which  they  blow  lustily 
in  the  churchyard  ;  then  till  join  hitnds^  to  form  a 
ring  round  the  exterior  of  the  chiinh  ;  then  a^rain 
the  trumpets  arc  blown.  By  what  eurioo?*  fancy

word  ?  It  in  ii  village  in  Fife,  Scotland.  The 
Rev.  Pkitriek  Wright,  writing  in  the  tSlatUliral 
Account  of  St^nthtnd/or  1704,  derives  it  from  the 
Giielie  signifying  '*  tbe  town  above  the  cave."  This 
[^  true— there  is  a  cave  called  *'  John  Knox's  Cave" 
in  tbe  glen  below.  In  the  Skitfjifical  Account  of 
Hcollmtdf  published  in  lR4rj,  the  Rev.  David  Bell 
derives  it  from  the  Gielic  KMn-nau-inaghj  signi- 
fying 'Uhe  head  of  the  den."  This  is  also  true — 
the  vilhige  is  situated  above  King.<idale  Glen,  com- 
monly called  den.  There  is  one  thing  of  note  in 
this  villagp,  i.e.,  a  hnii^e  is  pointed  out  as  the  last 
sleeping' place  of  Archbishop  Sharp  before  he  was 
murdered.      C;m  any  one  solvt-  the  derivation  ?

I  am  »tire  all  your  readers  will  agree  with

epi.-^ode  in  the  history  of  Tht.  Booh  which  he  has 
{iiven  U3  from  the  LnA^  Mercury  of  April  II, 
1H12  ;  and  if  I  am  ever  p€'rTuitted  to  tell  the 
.Htrange  history  of  that  remarkrdile  volume — and 
no  book,  I  believe,  ever  h:id  one  more  Btrange— 
Mr.  Fedrrku's  incident  sbull  certainly  not  be 
omitted.  Of  this  book,  which  is  strictly  "Tft«'* 
Book^  I  have,  besides  the  ntithcntic  and  official 
edition  whith  was  so  lonjf  suppressed,  no  less  than 
seven  Hcparate  editions  (inehidin;;  one  printed  at

L 


totally  dilFerent  character,  and  was  iinqueationably 
writteo  by  Mrs.  Serres. 

She  names  it  in  the  list  of  her  books  which  she 
cUiiiied  to  h.'ive  written,  printed  in  "  N.  &  Q." 
6*"*  S.  ii.  141  ;  and  on  the  title-page  of  her  Mcnwirit 
ef  a  PrincejiS  itnd  of  her  Marie  Ann  Ldu^  the 
Vourifzattj  hoth  published  in  the  sanie  year  with 
Tfte  Book,  viz.,  1812.  Mr.  Fedehkr  will  find  the 
full  title  of  the  book,  p.  4(11)  of  the  same  volume. 
It  is,  The  Book;  or,  Fnhutorical  Memoirs:  an 
Hutorical  Romance^  1812. 

PerhnpB,  a*  the  book  is  at  the  above  reference 
characterized  hy  one  who  haa  had  a  copy  and  reatl 
it  as  "dull  and  immoral,'*  it  may  be  asked  for 
what  reason  can  I  possihly  want  to  see  it.  The 
answer  is  very  simple,— for  the  light  which  I  ex- 
pect it  will  throw  on  the  writer's  life  and  cha- 
racter. 

In  the  year  1811  the  notorioua  Captain  Ashe 
took  advantage  of  the  great  interest  felt  by  the 
public  in  the  unhappy  difference  which  exi:!ted 
between  the  Priuce  aod  Princess  of  Wales  to  pub- 
liph  Thf.  Spirit  of  the  Book.  The  avidity  with 
which  that  work  vnxn  read,  and  the  immense  profit 
which  resulted  froui  its  sale,  are  thus  described 
by  013 e  who  was  well  iuforoied  upon  the  subject, 
and  who,  in  a  letter  addre.s»ed  to  the  Prtucetts  of 
Wales  in  1813^  says  :  *'  The  garbage  is  yet  greedily 
devoured  at  all  prices,  from  twenty-live  shillinii[!i 
down  to  eiflihtpence."  And  a  litlle  further  on  : 
"Three  thousaud  pounds  were  the  profits  of  ihh 
literarj*^  prostitution  in  little  less  ihim  twelve 
months  after  its^  appearance,  and  as  much  more 
must  now  have  been  gained." 

Mrs.  Serres,  whone  need  was  always  great,  and 
whose  pen  was  alwitja  ready,  naturally  felt  dewiroua 
to  turn  the  curiosity  of  the  public  on  this  painful 
fatnUy  diflercnoe  to  account,  I  Buapcct  she  wrote 
The  Book  with  that  object. 

All  writers  on  the  subject  were  partisans  either 

of  the  "  injured  husband"  or  the  ''  outraged  wife," 

and  it  i»  desirable  to  know  which  bide  had  the 

benefit  of  Mrs,  SerreJi's  advocacy.    She  was  one  who 

"  CoulJ  on  either  *ide  dispute  ; 

Confute^  chiLhge  «ldes,  and  utill  cunfute/' 

But  as  she  was  in  1812  plying  the  Prince  of 
Wales  with  begjring  letters  and  congratulatory 
odes,  it  can  scarcely  be  doubted,  I  think,  that 
anything'  published  by  her  at  tlmt  time  would  be 
in  his  favour. 

But  what  a  change  eventually  came  over  her 
opiniona  !  Mow  could  «he  continue  the  Kupfwrt  of 
one  who  refused  all  her  advances^  would  not  wiid 
her  a  ring,  would  not  come  to  see  her  Titian 'a 
Venus  larger  th«in  life,  would  not  ^ive  her  a  private 
interview,  and,  worse  still,  would  do  nothing  for 
the  illegitimate  daughter  of  his  uncle,  Henry 
Frederick,  Duke  of  Cumberland,  by  Mj^.  Payne, 
Dor  even  for  his  uncle's  tegitimzite  daughter,  the 
gmnd-datigbter  of  the  King  of  Poland  ? 


Like  Bfummel,  who,  when  the  Prince  nff^f..i.^1 
him,  determined  to  take  his  revenge  by  1  : 
*'  the  old  man  into  fa-shign/*  Mrs.  Serres  U^  ^ 
entertain  serious  thottghts  of  croastsg  over  to  ihe 
enemy's  cjimp. 

If    Carlton   House   would  have    none   of  ber, 
perhaps  Bmndenburgh  House  might   prove  mm 
hospitable  ;  and  the  lady  began  to  coquet  with  tfc*  j 
friends  of  Queen  Caroline.      And   here  l>e  it  t*- 
membered    that    the   death   of    George   V' 
January,  1820,  exercused  a  great  influen' 
the  fate  of  Mrs.  Serres.     In  June  of  that  y** 
prmdaimed  herself  to  be  Olive,  Prineesa  of 
berland  ;  for  it  must  be  alwuys  borne  in  miod 
this  impudent  claim  was  never  put  forwanl  lnj 
till  after  the  death  of  George   HI.,  and  t 
little  doubt  that  she   took  advantage  of  t 
settled  state  of  public  opinion  to  bring  forwnrf 
pretenaioDs,  which  she  endeavoured  to  eufofW 
threats  of  exposure  of  great  Stfite  secrets. 

I  will  now  confine  myself,  however,  to 
why  I  want  to  see  The  Bookj  and  to  proviij;^ 
have  advanced  as  to  her  change  of  purpo^*^  hj 
ing  from  the  originals,  now  in  my  posf*e*in>n, 
hitherto  unpublbhed  and  very  characteristic' 
by  her.

St.  Paul's  on  Nov.  2&,  1820.     It  i»  da

John  Dawsost  of  SEDBERcn  :  Adam  Stedq-

account  of  John  Dawson  at  pp.  50-54  of  the  late

*' in  hie  honoured  old  njnc ;  for  I  was  hSa  pupil  during

It  is  bard  for  me  to  do  full  justice  to  the  he^d  aiid  heart 
ofrriy  dear  old  ma,«ter.  Him  pie  in  mauDers,  cheorfai  nnd

did  he  hear  at  fimt  »i^bt  a  very  commanding  presence,

I  quote  this  paragraph  from  mj  copy  of  the 
SuppU'vuiit,  a  gift  from  the  beloved  Professor, 
sent  to  Mie  in  March,  1870,  shortly  before  his  death.

hua  yet  essayed  to  write  the  pure  and  traufpiil  life 
of  Adam  Sedgwick,  basing  the  work  on  this  very 
Mrmorml  and  Supphmtnt  f  Nothing  can  be 
more  charming  than  the  contents  of  theao  two 
little  books  ;  they  are  full  of  fre.»tli  and  original 
information  about  the  (jeolairy,  the  history,  the 
dialect,  the  folk-lore,  the  old-world  life  and  cus- 
toms of  the  Yorkshire  hills  ;  full  also  of  delightful 
fragments  of  autobiography,  and  sketches,  like  that 
from  which  1  have  qtinted,  of  the  statetimen  and 
other  Dale-folk  of  a  hundred  years  ago.  They  ai^, 
quite  unconsciously,  a  perpetual  and  instructive 
commentary  on  the  early  life  of  Wordwworth.

Some  portion  of  the  latter  pam^mpli,  however,

the  families,  though  whether  the  crent  of  one  was 
aaeumed  by  the  other  is  to  some  extent  a  matter 
of  eupposhion,  Burke  certainly  ^ives  aiinUar

Andreas,  the  first  maker  of  the  tjtuiie.  Bat  then 
this  Nidiohts  died  in  1684,  so  that  he  could  not 
liave  tu'ide  Mr.  Rees's  instruoient,  wh>eh  bears  the 
date  Mini,  and  the  ticket  appears  to  be  spurious, 
for,  if  correctly  copied,  it  is  neither  Liitin,  tt;ilian, 
nor  French,  '  Forster,  p.  2(>9,  qnolinry  from  the 
^'Luthoiiioaofyraphje,"  copies  a  ticket  that  contains 
all  theite  words  urnl  narues  thus  :  "  Nicolaiu  Auiuti 
Cremoncn,  Hicronomi  filii,  Antonii  ncpoa.  fecit.'' 
This  give3  his  lineage  ;  he  is  son  of  Jerome,  con- 
aequently  nephew  of  Anthony,  mid  grandffon  of 
Andrew.  Some  ignorant  fory:er  appears  to  hnve 
«een  some  such  ticket,  and,  not  knowinj;  when 
Nicholas  died,  has  added  a  date  twenty-three 
years  too  late.  It  seems  that  Amati  never  used 
Amatius  in  his  tickets,  and  certainly  not  Aniatus  ; 
and  Cremonien  looks  very  like  a  French  forgery. 
F<5ti8— 1  do  not  know  on  what  authority,  for  I  have 
not  his  work— says  that  there  w«a  a  descendant 
iiving  in  1786,  whose  violins  were  much  admired^ 
«nd  he  was  engaged  as  a  workman  with  Messrs. 
Liipot  at  Orleans,  which  city  he  left,  rcfusinjLf  to

the  varnish  they  used.  Sopposinj^  thcf^e  ernigranta 
into  France  to  have  fallen  into  somewhat  poor  cir- 
cumstimces,  indi)j:ence  might  account  for  defective 
■education,  and  the  Lingua  Franca  exhibited  on 
the  ticket.  The  JVtc/io/<*w*  Aniattcgf  &o  called, 
would  then  be  a  relalivCj  perhapa  the  ji^andfather, 
of  the  workman  mentioned  hy  F^tia  as  quitting

Tbe  tempter  assailed  Eve,  not  Adam^  with 
solicitations  addressed  to  the  appetites  of  body, 
wtil,  and  spirit,  and  she  yielded.  Fart,  of  her  scn- 
tnnce  wm,  "Thy  rfmrc "— ** Teshukuh '*  in  the 
Hebrew,  identical  with  iwi&vpta — ''shall  be  to 
thy  husbond,  and  he  ^hull  rule  over  thee."  The 
word  oc<:urii  twice  more  in  tbe  0.  T.,  in  Gen.  iv.  7 
and  in  Canticles  vii.  10.  Of  couree,  in  the  latter 
[dace,  its  use  indicates  the  reciprocity  between  the 
Mexea  ;  but  in  the  case  of  Cain  the  use  is  remiirk- 
jtble.  It  is  said  of  him  that  **his  countenance 
fell,"  the  characteristic  of  a  morose,  .sullen, 
c^ntnjmceni  nature.  And  the  warninj?  he  received 
w,^s  this,  "If  thou  doest  not  well,  sin  licth," 
croucheth  sis  a  wild  l>eiist,  "  at  tho  door.  And 
unto  thf*e  shall  be  its  dmrc^  but  thou  mayeat" — 
overcome — ''  rule  over  it.*'  Thb  seem'*  to  be  the 
nieaninj?,  (htiugh  the  passage  puzzled  uppiirently 
both  the  Seventy  and  St,  Jerome,  The  words 
are  identicid  with  those  spoken  to  Eve,  but,  na  my 
brother  observes,  "in  tbe  one  case  a  future  and  in 
the  other  a  potential  scnfie  seems  best." 

The  subject  is  ca^jable  of  nmuh  enlargement, 
e*peci;dly  by  compariaon  of  Gen.  iii.  6  with  St, 
Luke  iv.  1-14

quisite bit  of  antohiogrnphy,  hut  the  point  most  in 
question  ia  that  Misj*  Kelly  relHtcs  an  incident  of 
her  early  stage  time,  when  she  gave  back  to  Mr, 
Peake,  the  treasurer  of  Drury  Lane,  a  two- pound 
note  which,  by  mistake,  be  had  given  her  for  a  one- 
pouod.     This  incident  of  her  childhood,  she  says, 

'*  I  perfectly  remember  relating  to  Cliarlej^  Lu,ml»  and

intpo«9ihJe  for  any  one  to  guess  at  m«  ae  the  oi-igrnal 
bcroiae." 

Even  against  this  indisput-ahlo  evidence  some 
per8.ons  might  be  disposed  to  weigh  Lamb'a  own 

HBsertion  thut  Barbara  S was  Mrs.  Crawford, 

from  whom  he  declared  he  had  tbe  story  ;  bnt  the 
whole  question  is  set  at  rest  by  an  autograph  note 
of  Lan»b's  (of  which  Mr.  Kent  gives  a  fac-simile) 

titj  thin  effect  : — "  Biirbtmi  S shado^ws,  under 

that  namcj  Miss  Kelly's  early  life,  and  I  had  the 
anecdote  beautifully  from  her."  Thus  the  correct 
version  ia  come  at,  after  niuub  trouble.  Mr.  Kent 
thinks  this  matter  is  hut  another  illustration  of 
Charles  Lamb's  delight  in  sending  a  truth  mas- 
qjuemding.  In  this  instyncc,  however,  we  fail  to 
eee  the  juke.  Ljimb  fidsifjcd  a  pleasant  trait  of 
social  history,  which  ennobled  a  little  chdd, — a

sincere  love  of  what  ia  good.  Unfortunately  theie  qiuli- 
ties  vrcfe  nullified  by  innny  f  ices,  and  by  defect*^ mob. 
In  princes,  are  ti&  fatal  &a  vijpcA  tht^iu^elvea.  Hi^  grosa

trust  of  the  people  vtlv. ^      .ti  Liin." 

M.  Boataric  prove?  admirably  that  there  vrus 
in  the  unfortunate  Loiiia  XV.  a  kind  of  twofold 
l>er3onflp;e.  Two  natures  stru^^gled  wijhin  his 
breast  for  the  ma»tery  ;  and  more  than  any  other 
liistorical  ohiiracter,  perhaps,  he  realized  the  oele- 
brated  lines  of  the  Latin  poet  : — 

".  .  ♦  video  metiorn.  proboqae; 
Detcriora  sequor." 

Of  course  a  nature  distinctly  and  decidedly  pliable 
as  the  King's  yielded  at  once  to  any  influence, 
either  good  or  bad^  within  whcwe  reach  it  was 
bronjrht.  Unfortunately  the  latter  one  prevailed, 
and  Loub  XV.  lacked  the  spirit  of  resistance  to 
acts  of  favouritism  which  he  himself  knew  to  be 
scandalously  T^Tontf.  Thus,  when,  urged  on  by 
Madame  de  Pompadour,  he  had  disniiased  M.  de 
Machanlb,  an  abb*  administrator  and  an  intelli- 
gent politiclim,  he  wrote  as  follows  to  his  favourite 
daughter,  the  Duchess  of  Parma  :  '*  lis  ont  tant 
fait,  qu'ils  tii'ont  forc^  a  renvoyer  MachatiU, 
rbomme  selon  mon  cieur  ;  je  ne  m'en  consolerai 
jamais.'-  Thus,  aj?ain,  towanla  the  end  of  his 
reijjUt  alluding  to  M.  de  Mooteynard,  the  Minister 
of  War,  who  was  attacked  by  the  Duke  d'Aiguillon 
and  Madiirae  du  Barry,  he  mid  :  "TI  faudni  bien 
f^u'il  tombe,  car  il  n'y  a  que  moi  qui  le  aoutienne." 
The  result  of  this  fatal  disposition  is  easily  told. 
Incapable  of  setting  openly  at  defiance  the  intrigues 
of  courtiers  and  favourites,  Louis  XV.  still  pre* 
Fcrred  his  own  views,  and  encouraged  himself  in 
maintaining  them  by  stealth,  if  I  may  use  such 
an  expression.  Hence  his  habits  of  disHimulation, 
and  his  deplonible  want  of  stmiiihtforwririiness. 
"  He  had  "  says  M.  Boutaric,  "  his  private  ex- 
chequer, his  j>ersonal  system  of  politics,  and  an 
occult  government  which  acted  in  opposition  to 
the  official  one.  The  man  spent  part  of  his  life  in 
thwarting  and  endeavouring  to  nulliff  the  action 
of  the  king." 

The  two  volumes  I  am  now  noticing  contain 
the  interesting  history  of  this  secret  government. 
Naturally  indined  to  duplicity  and  fond  of  in- 
triguG,  Louis  XV.  had  been  encoiirajied  in  these 
habits  under  the  rule  of  Cardinal  de  Fleury-  And 
even  during  the  lifetime  of  that  minister,  who, 
alone  among  his  advisers,  enjoyed  his  full  confi- 
dence, he  carried  on  the  system  of  double  deitling, 
which  subsequently  was  practised  on  a  lar^ge  scale. 
The   King's   earliest  political  correspondent  was

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


M.  de  Chauvelin.  After  Fleury's  death.  Marshal 
de  Noailles  enjoyed  the  siiiue  privilege,  Ap* 
pointed  ia  August,  1742,  to  arganize  the  defeoce 
of  the  coast  of  FhndeTSf  then  threatened  by  the 
EngliFth,  Noailles  took  the  opportunity  of  corre- 
sponding directly  with  the  Kinp,  and  iisked  letive 
to  Bobmit  unreservedly  to  him  his  observations  on 
the  affuirs  of  the  day.  The  permission  was  readily 
granted,  and  it  re&ult«d  in  a  corresp  on  deuce  which 
has  been  published  by  M.  Ciiniille  Rowsset,  from 
the  orit(injiLǤ  preserved  in  the  French  War  Office, 
I  shall  not  dwell  at  any  length  on  ibis  series  of 
letters.  It  forms  no  part  of  tlie  present  work,  but 
M.  Boutaric  devotesi  fifty  piiges  of  hi»  historical 
introduction  to  a  Biimniaj-y  of  its  principal  con- 
tents ;  and  he  tttkes  the  opportunity  of  puttioK 
forth  in  ita  tme  ll^ht  the  character  of  Louis  XV. 
Understanding  perfectly  well  the  Marshal's  objec- 
tions, arj/uiDt'  with  the  rmoHt  remarkable  accuracy, 
expkining  admirably  why  the  affairs  of  the 
country  were  in  a  state  of  decay,  the  King  never 
took  the  trouble  to  6utl  out  whether  there  was  not 
a  means  of  getting  out  of  the  politic^il  and  ad- 
ministrative dtfticulties  by  which  France  was 
beset  on  all  siden.  **  One  thing  is  certain/*  says 
he,  in  a  letter  to  M.  de  NoaQles,  *^I  am  very  patient, 
perhaps  too  much  so,  and  I  like  lo  sec  through 
matters  dearly  ;  then  I  can  make  up  my  mind." 
If  Louis  XV,  meant  by  this  expression  that  he 
could  take  a  decisive  step,  and  act  conformably  to 
the  impreRHion  which  events  made  upon  hiiu,  he 
deceived  himself.  On  the  other  band,  it  is  per- 
fectly true  that  he  made  up  his  mind  to  let  things 
have  their  counje.  The  doctrine  of  *';wcomplished 
fftct^"  was  the  one  for  him.  "Louis  XV./'  says  the 
Duke  de  Luynes,  '*  talked  of  public  ailains,  and 
occupied  himself  with  theui  from  the  historical 
pwiut  of  view."  This  is  c|uiLe  true,  l^ufortunateJy 
an  historical  aptitude  is  not  what  statesmen  and 
kings  require;  what  they  want  is  a  militant  dis- 
position. Such  IK  M.  Boutiiric'a  rcmtu-k,  and  I 
certainly  agree  with  it. 

When  we  glance  oA'er  the  comeapondence  be- 
tween the  Kiiig  and  M.  de  Noailles,  we  cannot  help 
bein^jf  struck  by  the  weight  which  public  opinion 
hud  already  acquired,  and  by  the  growing  dissatis- 
faction of  the  Parisians.  The  want  of  discipline 
prevailing  throughout  the  army,  the  insondancc 
of  the  officers,  and  the  he^sitation  manifested  by 
the  Government  during  the  war  of  the  Austrian 
Buceession  (1743),  formed  the  coiumon  talk  of  the 
ea/u;  and  Louis  XV.  certainly  heard  the  echo 
of  these  conversations.  He  could  not,  however^ 
prevail  upon  himself  to  act  with  the  energy  which 
his  eorie.<pond«nt  was  i*epeatedly  advising  ;  and 
when  M.  de  Noailles  died  (I7li6),  tlie  epistolary 
intercourse  had  been  discontinued  for  ten  years. 
New  dramatic  pencnfe  then  appeared  on  the  stage, 
and  with  the  Count  de  Broglie,  the  Chevalier 
d  .Eon,  Terder,  and  Guercby,  we  arrive  at  the  real 


subject  of  M.  Routaric*8  work.     I  alial]

Pope  altered  the  passage  to  "Our  poeaie  is  na  a

emendation.  Dr.  Johnson  suggested  oqz&s  for  ««««» 
and  Mr.  Knight,  adopting  both  suggestions,  prints 
the  piissuge  thas  : — 

*'  Our  poesie  is  as  a  ^Hm^  which  oozet

t/irc*  is  certAinly  another  form  of  oozes^  but  there 
is  no  need  to  alter  the  word  gmim.  It  is  found  in 
our  older  writers,  and  is  still  tmed  in  the  western 
counties  as  a  term  for  a  running  gore.  In  tbe 
Norths  nurses  call  the  eruption  which  sometimes 
appeiira  in  the  mouth  of  a  young  child  rtd  gfuni^ 
or  thrush,  and  in  Yorkshire  gunriy  eyes  are  eyes 
that  dischrirge  foul  matter.  Another  form  of  the 
word,  and  a  more  ancient  one,  is  gonmL  In  this 
form  it  is  fnund  in  the  Fromp,  Panmlorum

Pope,  not  understanding  the  nseaning  of  the 
word  kaiiij  altered  it  to  UTon^.  Mr.  Knight 
observes  of  the  phrase  dean  him  :  "  We  take  this 
to  mean  *  nothing  to  the  purpose.' "  Any  one  of  our 
provincial  glossaries  would  have  enlightened  Mr. 
Knight  as  i<y  the  meaning  of  ibe  expression,  Caith 
or  kam  means  crooked,  awry,  perverse.  Chan  was 
used  in  old  time  very  commonly  for  entirdu  or 
7titrely^  aa  in  our  Auth,  Ver.,  **  Is  bin  mercy  dean 
gone  for  ever  ? "  It  is  still  so  used  in  our  dialects. 
Clmn  kiim  is  therefore  exactly  equivalent  to  merdy 
awnj,  and  Brutus  only  echoes  the  thought  of  his 
fellow  tribune.  It  is  a  Celtic  word,  and  is  found 
in  a!l  the  branches  of  the  Celtic  stock.  W.  r«Tn,

Nares  says  that  the  word  ia  supposed  to  mean  a 
skin,  but  that,  from  tbe  contextjit  seems  to  denote 
sometbiug  belonging  ton  bull  or  calf.  Mr.  Knight 
refers  to  Jamieson's  Scot.  Dvcf.,  where  2)aah  is  ex- 
plained as  meaning  hecui.  This  gives  an  intelli- 
gible sense,  but  it  does  not  appear  that  the  word 
has  ever  been  used  with  this  meaning  in  England.

"  KING  STEPHEN  WAS  A  WORTHY  PEEK," 

(5»*  s.  V.  isa.) 

Mr.  KiLGOim  baa  started  a  subject  which 
canni^t  well  be  discui^sed  in  a  few  lines.  All  of 
us  ou^bt  to  study  brevity,  for  apace  in  **N.  <&  Q." 
h  valuable.  First,  aa  to  it  being  a  Scotch  song. 
That  it  was  originally  a  "  Northern  song,"  i.e,,  one 
tiuit  wa-^t  sunj^  and  pf>pularin  the  northern  counties 
of  Enj^liind  and  in  the  southern  counties  of  Scot- 
land, there  need  be  no  question.  In  literature  and 
folk-lore,  in  ballad  legends  and  romances,  the 
whole  of  the  ancient  North uuibria  held  common 
property.  Almost  all  the  distinctively  Scottish 
songs  appear  to  have  perished  dnrinjf  the  fana- 
ticism that  waged  war  !*guinst  ihoac  which  were 
ant  "  godly .^'  "  Take  thy  auld  cloak  about  thee," 
claimed  nn  being  Scottish,  scarcely  possesses  ex- 
ternal evidence  to  warmnt  the  assertion.  The 
earliest  Scotch  version  known  begins  thus  (eight 
verses  in  all)  :— 

'*  In  winter  when  the  rain  ratn'd  cauld 
And  frrj^t  and  snaw  on  ilka  hill, 
And  Boreas,  with  his  blasts  lae  bauld, 

Vin9  threatening  a'  our  ky  to  kill, 
Then  Boll,  my  wife,  wha  lotea  na  strife, 

She  tttid  to  me  ri>fht  liwstily. 
Get  up,  itroodman,  save  Cromy's  Me, 
And  tak  your  auld  cloak  about  ye,*'  kc 
This    first  appears  in  Allan  Ramsay's  Tta-Table 
MiscrUantf,  the  first  volume,  but  not  in  the  earlier 
editions  of  it.     Even  in  tho  1727  edition,  entitled 
A  Xrw  Misc€U/iny  of  ScoU  iSangx^  which  includes 
the  second  volume  (originally  puldished  in  1725, 
the  tir^fc  havinj.j  appeared   in    1724),  neither  this 
BOBfT^  nor  thirteen  others  which  follow  Wm.  Hamil- 
ton's *'  A,b,  the  shepherd's  mournful  fivte,"  are  to 
he  found-     In  Uiore  modem  12mo.  eilitions,  '*Tak 
your  auld  cloak"  is  on  p.   105.     It  is  given  in 
HertTg  VoUccHotiy  the  rare  first  edition  of  1769,  on 
p.  187.     And  it  is  remarkable  {:is  showing  how 
the  careful  David  Herd  sou^j^ht  a  more  complete 
version  than  Allan  Ramsay's)  that  we  here  find 
the   second   verse,    which   Ramaay  omitted,   but 
which  hid  formed  a  genuine  portion  of  the  song  : 
*'  0  IJclb  why  dost  thou  flytfl  and  ncome  1 
Th-u  kenst  my  cloak  k  very  chin  :

Mehemet  AH  became  governor  of  E^ypt  in 
1806,  and  made  himself  master  of  that  country  in 
1811  by  force  of  army.  He  and  his  immediate 
successors  received  the  Turkish  title  Vali,  or 
Viceroy.  An  imperial  firuaaa  of  May  27,  1866, 
altered  this  into  the  Persian*  Arabic  title,  KbJdSv- 
el-Misr,  or  Kin^  of  Egypt.  The  same  finnan  per- 
mitted the  dignity  to  descend  from  father  to  son 
instead  of  to  the  eldest  heir,  according  to  the 
usual  Turkish  custom.  To  obtain  tbcse  privilejrcs 
the  Jvbedive,  as  he  is  generally  called,  raised  his 
annual  tribute  to  Turkey  from  80,OtK)  purses,  or 
37C,(HK)?.,  to  150,000  purnes,  or  7O5JK\0L

At  the  time  when  the  Viceroy  of  Egjpt  first 
assumed  this  title,  my  father  hapjiened  to  be  in

French  on  the  part  of  sailors.  Wo,  who  know 
iMtter,  can  tell  at  onc<?  that  Bcllerophon  is  not 
derived  from  Billy  Ruthan,  In  like  manner,  we 
know  that  the  French  icrfvisse  is  not  derived  from 
the  Fn^liah  tray-fi$h^  neither  can  Jenrind^in  he  de- 
rived from  Junt-€uting,  Indeed,  in  the  latter  ciwe^ 
[there  is  not  the  faintest  pretence  that  June-mfing 
was  ever  in  use.  la  it  not  high  time  that  such 
despcmte  guesses  should  be  ridiculed,  and  not 
treasured  as  gems  1 

The  curious  word  pere-jonettes  occurs  in  Pun 
Tlowmait,  C.  text.  Pass,  xv,  1.  221,  and  we  learn 
\fiom  the  context  that  it  signifies  pears  that  are 
l.€ttrly  ript!.  I  venture  to  tnmscribe  here  mj  note 
^to  that  word,  rs  yet  unprinted,  because  I  think  it 
thiHjWM  some  light  upon  Jean'neton.  "  In  July 
come  .  .  ,  early  pearcs,  and  plummes  iu  fruit, 
geniiUingiy  (^uadlins." — Bacon,  Esuiy^  p.  46.  The 
ffenniiinff  is  !in  early  apple.  d'ot^ire  has, 
"Pomme  de  S.  Jeun,  St.  John's  apple,  a  kind  of 
BOon*ripe  sweeting";  and  agiiin,  "Ilaativeau,  a 
hasting  apple  or  peare";  and  again,  "Hastivel, 
the  siime  aa  Hiistiveau  ;  or,  a  soon-rijDc  apple 
ctdlcd  the  St.  John's  apple."  I  have  no  douht  that 
jonrtff.  (iJi,nd  ntohuhly  genniting)  is  ultinmtely  de- 
rived from  Jean,  and  that  the  reference  is  to  St. 
John's  day,  June  24.  Cf.  F.  Jeatinoi  (O.  Fr. 
Jtannd)  as  a  diminutive  of  Jean, 

So  far  my  note.  I  have  only  to  add  that,  if  this 
etymology  be  not  fully  proved,  it  is,  at  au}-  rate, 
reasonable  and  possible.  But  the  suggestion 
"June-eating"  is  neither  one  nor  the  other.

The  PnoTEsTAKT  Cathedrals  op  Holland 
(5«»  S.  v.  109.)— By  "the  Protestant  cathedrals 
of  Holland,"  I  suppose  M.  D.  B,  means  those 
churches  whieh,  previous  to  the  Reformation  in 
Holland,  were  the  cathednds  of  the  various  dioceae«i 
then  existing,  and  which  have  since  been  used  for 
the  sen'ices  of  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church.  An 
the  Protestants  in  Holland  are  all  non- Episcopal, 
they  have  themselves  erected  no  cathedralR.  Until 
155[),  Utrecht  was  the  only  bishopric  in  Holland^ 
and  its  minster  the  oolc  cathedral.  In  that  year 
Pope  Paid  IV.  erected  Utrecht  into  an  arch- 
bishopric, and  created  five  sees  suffragan  to  it,  vix., 
Haarlem,  Deventer,  Leeuwaarden,  Groningcn,  and 
Middleburg,  and  the  chief  church  in  each  of  these 
towns  became  the  cathedral  for  the  new  dioceee. 
Two  other  sees  were  also  created  at  the  same  time, 
and  made  suffragan  to  the  Archbishop  of  Mechlin, 
viz,^  Eois-le-Duc  and  Roermond.  The  cathedrals 
therefore  existin;^  in  Holland,  at  the  time  of  the 
eA'ertbrow  of  the  Roman  Cutholic  Church  in  that 
country,  were— (I)  Utrecht,  (2)  Haarlem,  (3)  De- 
venter,  (4)  Groningen,  (5)  leeuwaarden,  (C) 
Middleburg,  (7)  Boia-le-Duc,  and  (8)  Roermond. 
One  of  these  Qmi  I  speak  under  correction),  viz., 
Groningen,  bits  since  been  destroyed,  and  then

&c.,  other  churchea  in  Holland  {e.g.  Rotterdam, 
Gouda,  &c.)  termed  "  cathedrals,"  but  it  ia  inaccu- 
rate, and  there  ia  no  more  authority  for  it  than 
there  ia  for  the  English  newspaoera  to  talk  of 
Westminster  Abbey  tis  a  **  cathedral,"  or  to  call 
St.  Paul's  the  **  metropolitan  cathedral,"  both  of 
which  bad  habits  seem  to  be  cooBidersihly  on  the

Thb  Costumx  op  Macbeth  (6**  S.  iv.  228, 
458,  f»17  ;  v.  218.) — This  inquiry  has,  not  un- 
naturally, led  to  some  remarks  as  to  the  dreai  in 
which  Macbeth  has  been  represented  on  the  stage  ; 
and  n'i  Garrick's  appearance  in  that  character— so 
well  known  froni  the  engraving  tifter  the  picture 
by  Zolfany— ia  often  instanced  as  evidence,  either 
of  ignoRinc*  or  indifference,  with  respect  to  thea- 
trical costume  in  those  days,  I  propose  to  show 
that,  as  Sir  Hugh  Evans  say.-s,  "  there  is  reasons 
and  causes  for  it." 

"  The  tragedy  of  Macbeth^'*  wrote  Davics, 
"  would  have  been  still  dressed  in  modem  habits  if 
the  good  taste  of  Mr.  Macklin  had  not  introduced 
the  old  Highland  military  habit"  The  experiment 
was  made  in  1772,  when,  if  the  supposed  date  of  hi» 
birth  (IG1K»)  be  correct,  the  veteran  actor  was  eighty* 
two  years  of  age.  Even  accepting  another  state-

The  novelty,  no  doubt,  was  a  difficulty  to  b«

the  next  extnict,  were  stanch  npholder.9  of  the 
traditions  of  the  stage.  There  i^  reason  t«  beii*'ve 
that  Garrick  was  deterre^i,  by  the  fear  of  hazarding 
his  position  as  a  jtiacnii^Hr,  from  carry in;:^  out

It  is  difficult  to  realize  the  infltience  that  the 
theatre  once  possessed,  of  which  the  alwve  records 
fin  instance,  Garrick  feared  a  political  tutnult  if 
he  appeared  in  a  correct  costtitiie,  and  therefore 
selected  one  that  was  perhaps  as  suitable  as  any 
other.  That  cbantctcr«  should  be  dressed  appro- 
priately is,  of  course,  de&irable  ;  but  it  itiay  be 
questioned  whether  an  over  fa?itidiou3UL'S3  in  this 
i:esj>ect  is  conducive  to  the  best  interestJs  of  the 
<lr:nj]a.  If  attention  be  too  much  withdrawn  from 
the  actor,  we  may  end  in  caring  only  for  the 
accessories ;  like  the  critic  who,  iu»  Mr.  Plancli<5

mer reference  Ma.  R.  N.  Jamrs  makes  inquiry 
respect inj,'  a  Hebrew  medal  found  near  Cork.  The 
information  he  wishes  for  is  within  my  knowledge, 
4ind  I  should  have  sent  it  sooner  but  for  other 
pressing  en^ngements. 

The  medal  was  found  in  a  field  near  Friar's 
Walk,  in  the  outJ*kirts  of  Cork^  in  the  year  1818, 
and  waa  sold  by  the  finder  to  a  gentleman  named 
t'orktt,  who  hiubmitted  it  to  the  celebrated  aod 
eccentric  Dr.  Barrett,  Vice-Provost  of  Trinity 
College,  Dublin  ;  to  Dr.  Hales,  the  author  of  the 
Nnc  AnalysU  of  Ckronokgy;  to  Dr.  Edw.  Hincks, 
afterwards  famous  as  an  A&syriologiiit  ;  and  to  my 
father,  who  wan  rector  of  a  parifih  in  Cork,  and  in 
his  day  well  known  as  a  Hebrew  scholar.  The 
versions  of  the  inscription  on  the  reverse  proposed 


by  the  three  former  were  sabstantially  the 
that  of  Dr.  Barrett  being  as  follow*  :  *'  MMaiah 
the  king  came  in  peace,  and,  being  made  the  light 
of  (or  from)  man,  liveth."     These  all  procecdcti  nn

inscriptions  to  divide  words  at  the  end  of  ' 
a  liberty  taken  in  two  instances  in  this  en-

probable  if  the  medal  was  really  of  that  |>eri<^, 
would  be  by  no  means  improbable  in  a  biler  f^tl^'H-

informed  me  that  this  medul  was  not  striw

understood  that  the  Jews  were  in  the 
fabricating  stich  medals  in  the  Middle  A|^ 
Fwild  to  pilgrims.     This  medal  was  aflefwi 
chased    by   M»jor  Birr,  of  Dublin  Castle, 
known  collector,  and  I  fiuppoj*e  it  passed  with 
other  antiquities  into  the  possession  of  the 
Irish  Academy.     The  letters  of  the  above-ns 
scholars  were  Bubsequently  collected  and  publ 
by  the  Rev.  Thomas  England,  a  Roman

sblr  to  give  him  a  plnuAible  derivation  of  the  ter-

mysterious  s<^>nnd^,  and  which  muy  apply  to  the 
incident  in  Kinglake's  channing  Eifthen  [q-.  xvii,), 
is  derived  from  njy  own  experience.  1  was  riding, 
as  I  often  did  with  Captain  Stab,  in  the  plain 
neHr  EphesuH,  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  acjue- 
duct  St.  Paul  cleft  with  his  scimitar,  the  Kejeh 
Kalehbi,  or  Goat'a  Castle,  and  the  subterranean 
magic  city  within  the  nionntains,  of  which  the 
doorwuy  is  there  visible.  The  cJilla  rise  in  high 
wjdia  on  the  left  btmd,  and  iis  we  went  along  at 
their  feet  we  heart!  distinctly  the  chimea  of  church 
bell«  above  our  bends.  Wc  hnlted,  and  for  some 
time  beard  the  sounds,  which  floated  up  and  down 
in  the  air.  We  were,  as  we  thought,  alone,  and 
could  find  no  author  for  this  weird  dike  music.  At 
length  my  companion  noticed  a  string  of  camels 
afar  off  on  the  other  siile  of  the  narrow  plain,  and 
we  did  not  doubt  that  it  was  the  bells  of  these 
which  re-echoed  on  the  jirecipices  overhead,  and 
as  the  camels  wound  about  on  the  road,  so  did  the 
sound  strike  higher  or  lower.  I  then  said  that  if 
some  stray  Englishman  had  shimbered  on  the 
plain  and  awoke,  he  would  have  aveTrcd  he  had 
heard  his  village  bella.  I  never  heard  the  sounds 
except  that  once,  though  often  there  ;  but  then  it 
was  necessary  to  be  in  a  certain  place,  and  to  have 
a  string  of  camela  likewise  in  the  area  of  the  echo.

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  kc. 
MyOit  and  Songff  from  tht  Sonfh  Pacijic.  By  the 
Rev.  Wm.  Wyalt  Gill,  B.A,,  of  the  London 
Missionary  Society.  With  a  Preface  by  F. 
Mux  MuUer,  M.A.,  Professor  of  Coiijparative 
Pbilologi'  At  Oxford.  (H.  S.  King  &  Co.) 
Prof.  Max  Mullkr,  in  his  lejiraed  and  interest* 
ing  preface  to  this  remarkiible  volume,  describes 
the  Myth?  and  Songs  which  Mr.  Gill  hn.s  brought 
home  from  ^^langaia  as  antiquities  preserved  for 
perhaps  thonsnands  of  years,  showing  us  "the 
growth  of  the  human  mind  during  a  period  which, 
ns  yet,  is  full  of  the  most  perplexing'  problems  to 
the  psycholoo^st,  tht?  historiiin,  and  the  theologian." 
Prof,  Muller  look.-*  upon  the  people  of  the  South 
Pacific  as  being  in  a  tnythopoeic  period,  as  the 
Hindus  were  before  any  collection  was  made  of 
their  sacred  hymns,  and  as  the  Greeks  were  lon^ 
before  the  days  of  Hoiuer.  "  To  find  ourselves/' 
he  reuuirk*,  ''  among  a  people  who  really  believe 
in  gods  and  heroes  and  ancestral  epirite,  who  still 
offer  human  sacritices,  who,  in  some  cases,  devour 
their  human  victims,  or,  at  sdl  events^  burn  the 
flesh  of  animals  on  their  altar?,  trusting  that  the 
Bcent  will  be  sweet  to  the  nostrils  of  their  gods^  18 
as  if  the  zoologist  could  spend  a  few  days  among 
the  me^atheria,  or  the  botanist  among  the  wtiving 
ferns  of  the  forests  buried  beneath  our  feet." 
What  renders  Mr.  Gill's  book  i>eculiarly  valu:il»b> 
is,  that  it  is  the  record  of  whiit  he  saw  of  a  religion 
:knd  mytholo^'y  in  the  island  of  Man^mia  twenty 
years  jigo,  jind  which  were  in  a  cour:^e  of  dissolu- 
tion before  his  own  eyes.  He  has  described  the 
history  of  both  as  far  [is  they  revealed  themselves 
or  were  revealed  to  him  by  others.  The  last  de- 
positaries of  the  old  faith  were  not  reluctant  in 
their  communications,  and  the  readier  will  not  only 
be  deeply  interested  in  these,  but  fully  as  much  in 
the  sacred  songs,  which  Mr.  Gill  gives  in  the  orisjinal 
(thus  aiding  philobgists)  as  well  as  in  translations. 
There  has  been  less  foreign  influence  in  Maogaia 
tbjxn  in  any  other  of  the  Polynesian  islands^  tmd 
the  story  of  its  religious  belief  and  practices  is 
fresher  In  its  details  and  more  peculiar  in  many 
instances  than  the  records  that  have  come  to  tis 
from  other  localities.  The  trsiditions  are  necea- 
sarily  purer,  for  no  doubt  in  some  of  the  islands 
less  isolated  Jewish  and  Christian  incidents  have 
been  dropped  by  early  visitors,  and  woven  into  tht- 
more  oneient  system  and  story.     In  the  latter  the 


reader  will  peruse  with  ever- increasing  ntri*iiii 
the  myths  of  creation  in  the  Souih  Pacific,  of  t: 
heaven.'*,  of  deified  men  on  earth,  of  the  trees, 
of  vurious  objects  which  took  sacrednea^ 
eyes  of   unsophisticated    islanders,   who 
accepted  the  revelation  of  nature^  and  ^  '^^' 
spirit  in  every  work  which  could  not  In  1 

for  humanly,     There  are  four  attract  i 
on  heaven,  hell,  the  spirit-world,  and  a 

and  women,  and  an  awful  one  on  hiiniuTi  fij 

There  is  much  more  besides  ;  but  we  leave  to 
readers  a  book  in  w!iich  there  is  the  most  satisfi 
tory  proof  that  human  thought  has  ever  been  pow 
fully  directed  towards  the  solution  of  the  myst^i 
by  which  the  world  was  burdened  ;  there  h.%*«i 
been  a  prayerful,  sometimes,  perhaps,  an  itnpfiti 
desire  for  light,  but  stiD  a  desire  ;  and  in  Ih 
islands  it  would  almost  seem  that  there  were  mtfi 
who  assumed  all  knowledge,  stood  between  iht 
light  and  the  ^  people,  obscured  the  fonuer^  ui 
turned  away  human  thoniiht  from  the  right  di 
tion  and  any  approximation  to  the  truth,  of  whii 
indeed,  the  obscumnts  probably  knew  as  V  ' 
their  fellow-raen.  With  the  latter,  one  can 
having  ranch  sympathy,  although  soineti 
appear  under  repulsive  circumstances.  Any 
the  extraordinary  details  of  religion  and  woi 
in  this  far-otr  part  of  ihe  world  will  be 
with  much  resulting  profit ;  religion  and 
being,  as  the  Professor  remarks,  two  xery 
things.

S.  DoOBLR  8.— The  goTemment  of  Dahomey  Is  not  to 
be  accounted  "  iarage  *'  because  it  punished  the  -English 
&i;eni  for  vending  goods  (at  Wbydah)  to  inferior  persons 
before  offering  or  selling  to  the  head  man  of  the  pi  nee. 
Ifndtr  our  ^o^m»nand  Plantogonet  kingn,  any  one  in 
the  London  markets  who  ventured  to  sell  anything  till 
the  king's  officers  were  first  served  surely  came  to  grief. 
No  doubt  it  must  be  shocking  to  see  bodies  or  parts  of 
bodies  of  criminftts  at  the  Afnean  king's  gntea ;  but  it  ia 
within  the  memory  of  many  that  on  every  road  into

off  Black  wall  the  cheerful  cry  of  the  i«bip  steward  to

Ll»MIS    IN   ENGLISH    ETYMOLOGY; 

'H  A  KOTE  UPON  -  SHAMBLEtl/* 

lUtuirai^Newi  of  March  11,1  find  thnt 

donbta   the   qbuilI  denvatioii  of  this 

p^&f»o»^e^  one  of  his  oi^ti.     I  think  his 

are  raluablc,  as  showinf^  how 

81  i!  n ion,  in  questions  of  Eng- 

>gy  (iwr,  in   the   case    of  Latin  and 

law  8*era  to  know  better),  to  disregard 

^t  only  tlie  hiatory  of  the  words  Me  use, 

history  of  the  sounds  composing  those 

>]e3  of  the  usea  of  wordu,  all 

\m  in  spelling,  all  the  nume- 

ecientific  aniilysiB  of  ])in* 

le  as  non-existent.     Mr. 

♦  1,v.»     1...    ,):..,.. ,.^3    ^Jjjj    ^j^,_ 

ibercd  that 
.,1.  .  .=  .....  Lhan  sr\tyrfcni 
rely  give  iisotul  hints,  for 
a  is  are  profoundly  j^T^ateful. 
eanon  in  Knglish  etymology  ia  one  which 
atat-e,  for  the  bentifit  of  those  who 
rhaps,  never  heard  of  it,  and  who,  in 
loe,  bare  not  the  mobt  elementary  notions 
subject. 

1.— The  nUimftte  and  right  Boiirre  of 
deciding  upon  ctymologie.%  is  the  great 
If  UtttiTe  literature,  showing  the  knguage 


in  it«  living  state,  and  not  the  dictionaries,  which 
njerely  show  it  in  a  state  of  repose. 

To  this  I  append  the  ftooujMi,  which  is  ignoied 
daily. 

C^non  2.— No  ctymolorry  4»d  be  true  which 
does  not  agree  with  known  phonetic  laws. 

And,  as  I  am  ahout  it,  I  may  add  a  third. 

Canon  3, --No  etymology  can  be  true  wliich 
contrmiict*  the  history  and  chronology  of  the  lan- 
guage. 

I  wis^h  all  students  of  English  etymology  would 
but  leum  these  three  mica.  They  are  so  importanl 
that  I  beg  leave  to  repeat  them  in  a  briefer  form. 

Canon  L— Appeal  to  the  u^\ge  of  authors. 

Cmwn  2. — Learn  the  Bound- laws  of  the  alpha- 
bet 

Canon  3. — ^Never  forget  history  and  chronology. 

An  etymology  which  contradicts  any  of  these 
canons  is  to  bia  suspected  at  once.  Thus  the  at- 
tempt to  derive  ittnc  from  cowcn  contradicts  chron- 
olo^.  It  is  nasuming  that  cowmi  (a  form  invented 
within  the  List  few  years)  preceded  hhxe,  found 
in  the  fourteenth  century.  I  believe  it  was  fur- 
ther .'ogeeated  that  the  A.-S.  cy  was  an  abbrevia- 
tion of  (the  fourteenth  century)  Hne^ 

With  respect  to  ihamblu,  Mr.  Sala,  ignoring 
nil  three  of  the  above  canons,  refers  ua  to  tho 
Liitin  minpuA,  It  is  gufficient  to  apply  canon  2. 
We  know  very  well  th.it  the  Latin  c  is  represented 
in  English,  usually,  by  c  or  ch.  Thus  from  eomptu 
we  have  campaign;  from  eapxtt  we  have  thUf. 
But  the  En;^li»h  »h  is^  usmdly,  the  A.-S.  se.  Thus 
iliffp  is  A.-S.  »f<ap,  shine  is  A, -8.  scinan.  More- 
over, nearly  all  words  beginning  with  sh  are  of 
A.-S.  origin.  But  for  Englishmen  to  dream  of 
sound-laws  requires  more  education  in  philology 
than  is  ^'enendly  given  in  English  schools,  Henca 
the  daily  mistakes  that  are  made,  sometimes  in 
the  most  elementiury  matters.  It  is  also  obvious 
that  it  will  be  news  to  Mr.  Sala  to  be  told  that 
gkainbks  wlis  sometimes  epelt,  ^' about  Chaucer's 
time,"  without  a  b. 

The  usual  derivation  of  ihambUa  ia  from  the 
A.-S.  ffcaww?,  a  stool  or  bench.  K,  instead  of 
beinpr  rejected  throujib  want  of  ncquaintiince  with 
its  history,  it  be  tried  by  the  canons,  it  may  stand. 
The  evidence  for  it,  if  not  overwhelminir,  ia  suffix 
cient  for  those  who  have  studied  the  subject  in  a 
systematic  manner. 

The  A.-S.  acavicl  occurs  in  the  A.-S.  version  of 
♦St.  MutL  V,  35.  **His  footstool"  is  rendered  by 
''  hvB  fot-8camel." 

In  the  Ancren  JUud*^  p.  166,  a  foot-stool  is 
rendered  by  "  ane  stol  to  hore  vet "  ;  where,  for 
stol^  one  MS.  has  icluomtly  and  another  has  schoimtt. 
Here  is  already,  in  the  thirteenth  century,  the 
initial  sh  (often  then  written  sch% 

In  the  poem  of  Wallace  (see  Jamieson)  the  word 
akamyllf  also  !&\K-[t  skambU^  means  a  bench.  Thia 
is  of  course  still  the  same  word,  but  with  the

I  which,  when  nnited  toj^ether,  typify 
mik  him  out  distinctly  from  all  others 

excellencies  and  defects  seen 

^  both  point  to  the  authorship 

led  for.  On  tne  one  hand,  the  power 
er  ifi  seen  in  the  conception  of  the 
w  of  the  "Iriiat  Judgment,"  in  the  reali- 

"Inferno"  of  the  lower  half,  with  the 
f  St.  Michael,  the  demons  generally,  id 

figurea  of  lost  souls  impaled  and  a^on- 
e  marvellous  shading  of  the  flames,  so 
leir  reality  and  truth  to  nature.  The 
[8  seen  in  the  "  Taking  Down  from  the 
e  effect  produced  in  many  of  the  lead- 
j  a  few  bold  strokes  of  the  pencil,  in 
on  of  the  demon  behind  the  fiery 
le  wonderful  shading  of  its  bar^.  The 
eta,  not  peculiar  to  the  windows,  but 
sonventional  faults  of  the  period,  are 
my,  faulty  drawing,  defective  fore- 
nd  perspective, 

t$e  defects  can  he  pointed  out  in  the 
I  of  the  great  German  master.  Mrs. 
Qtiona  several  instances  of  couven- 
drawing,  as,  for  example,  in  a  *'  Cruci- 
epoeaession  of  the  Rev.  J.  Fuller  Eua- 
&adiBg  of  Satan  for  lOtX*  Years,"  and 


says  of  the  *'  Last  Judgment ''  that  it  "  resembles, 
in  some  degree,  the  archaic  production*!  of  early 
art,"  In  another  place  she  admits  that  **  Diirer's 
nude  forma  have  certainly  very  little  either  of 
majesty  at  grace."  Waagen  says  the  same  in 
other  worda.  Bryan  urentiona  his  faults  in  respect 
to  anatomy,  especially  the  waub  of  gracefulness  of 
form,  and  the  stit^'  and  formal  character  of  his 
figures  and  drapery.  Among  very  numemus  in- 
stances of  faulty  anatomy  in  hia  works,  I  may  call 
attention  to  the  attendant  animals  in  the  *' Ado- 
ration of  the  Magi,"  of  15(>4,  and  the  wretched 
doves  seen  in  the  "  Annunciation  "  and  "  Ascen- 
sion."  Even  in  a  "Crucifixion"  as  late  as  151G,  the 
same  sort  of  ugly  dove  is  seen.  The  eagle  and  ox 
seen  in  one  of  the  series  of  the  Apocalypse  are 
both  wanting  in  "power  *'  and  correct  drawing. 

Defective  "  foreshortening  '*  is  found  in  l>iiper'« 
St.  Sigismund,  where  it  gives  the  face  a  twisted 
and  unnatural  appearance  (similar  to  several 
figurea  of  the  prophets  at  Fairford)  ;  and  in  his 
own  portrait  of  l-llIB,  wherein  the  hands  and  arras 
are  too  Urge,  and  the  face  somewhat  peculiar.  Bub 
Diirer  himself  admits  his  own  deficiency  in  this 
respect,  since  he  tells  us,  in  hia  own  worda,  that 
he  went  to  Bologna,  in  1506,  to  learn  *'  the  secret 
art  of  perspective,"  thus  implying  that  up  to  this 
time  he  had  not  m;i.*»tered  that  "  art."  To  sum  up, 
whatever  argument  may  be  founded  on  *'  style  "  in 
opposition  to  the  authorship,  none  seems  to  have 
had  any  influence  over  such  an  eminently  good 
judge  as  Van  Dyck,  who  sjiid,  on  the  authority  of 
a  MS.  in  the  Bodleian,  "  that  the  drawing  was  the 
work  of  Diirer."  And,  whatever  defects  may  be 
found  in  the  windows,  they  must  have  very  little 
weight  in  the  scale  against  the  excellencies  which 
have  merited  the  encomiums  of  so  many  eminent 
men,  and  among  the  rest  of  that  same  master,  who 
declared  that  *'  many  of  the  figures  were  so  excel- 
lently well  done  that  they  could  not  be  exceeded 
by  the  best  pencil."  J.  Powell. 


GOUPY'S  C.4RICATURE  OF  H.VNDEL. 

Joseph  Goupy  was  bom  at  Never^,  France,  He 
came  to  England  when  verj^  young  and  settled 
here.  In  conjunction  with  Tillemans,  be  was 
scene-painter  to  the  Opera.  He  was  a  fnshiDnablo 
drawing-master,  and  taught  Frederii-k,  Prince  of 
Wales,  and  the  royal  princesses.  He  died  in 
London,  at  an  advanced  age,  in  1763.  His  col- 
lection of  drawings,  prints,  and  copper-plates  was 
sold  by  auction,  April  3, 1770,  by  Ltmgford  &  Son. 

A  question  has  often  been  asked,  what  was  the 
cause  of  Goupy  s  cimcaturing  Handel  ]  He  painted 
the  scenes  for  his  Aihnctus  in  17:27,  and  must  hay© 
frequently  met  the  great  master,  in  pursuance  of 
his  duties  as  muBJcal  instructor  to  the  princesses, 
and  elsewhere.  In  fact,  we  know  that  they  were 
on  friendly  terms  with  each  other,  in  the  ^.^-^

j«irt,  at  least,  of  HandeFa  career.  ^Tiat,  iheUj  waa 
the  caoso  of  quarrel  ?  The  explanation  ia  pretty 
tleur  from  what  follows, 

MiBs  Letitia  Hawkins  (the  daughter  of  the 
musical  historian.  Sir  John)  published  two  volumes 
of  Ancahtat  in  1824, a  work  well  Icnown  and  com- 
monly met  with  at  the  stalls.  Not  so  a  prerions 
Tolume,  bearing  date  1822,  which,  f«^r  some  reason 
or  other,  rarely  occurs,  and  has  altogether  escnped 
tlie  notice  of  anecdote  hunters.  This  volume, 
which  ia  full  of  interest,  contains  the  solution  of 
ihe  mystery  in  these  words  : — 

*'At  a  time  when  H&ndel'a  circuinBtaRces  were  loss 
pm«peroaj  than  they  bad  been,  he  invited  Goupy  to  dine 
'Mrith  him.  The  maal  was  pUin  and  fragal^  as  he  had 
warned  bii  gueat  it  mujt  be ;  and  for  thi^  UiuideL  nguin 
apologised,  addtntf  that  he  m-ould  give  him  a»  hearty  a 
welcome  aa  when  he  could  treat  with  claret  &nd  French 
dlshci.  Goupy  returned  a  cordial  reply ;  and  they  dined, 
floon  after  dinner,  liandcl  loft  the  room,  and  hia  absence 
was  BO  long,  that  Goupy  at  loatt  for  want  of  other  em- 
ploy, ttrolled  into  the  aajoinin£  buck-room,  and  walking 
np  to  a  window*  which  looked  diagonally  on  that  of  a 
small  third  room,  he  saw  his  host  sitliD;^  at  a  table 
covered  with  such  delicaclea  m  he  had  lamented  hia 
Inabililty  to  afford  hia  friend.  Goupy,  to  whom  poeibly 
rocb  Tiandj  had  IHtle  less  relUh  than  to  his  host,  waa  m 
enraifed,  that  he  quitted  the  hoiue  abruptly,  and  pub- 
lished the  engraring  or  etching— for  my  memoi7  does 
not  retain  the  fact  accurately— in  which  Handel  fignrca 
aa  &  hog  in  the  midat  of  dainties.  It  is  impossible  to 
defend,  or  even  to  excute,  Handel ;  but  we  miiy  extmct 
from  the  fact  some  comfort  for  mediocrity  of  talent,  by 
calling  attention  to  the  almoat  invariablo  truth,  that,  us 
if  in  mefcy  to  the  weukneas  of  human  nttture,  ishich 
cannot  enduro  any  pretension  to  entire  superiority,  the 
bdanco  is  tfiMit-rally  pretty  aconrately  adjusted  between 
great  excellence  and  great  deficiency." 

A  aomewhat  simihix  story  ia  told  by  Bnrney  of 
a  Mr.  Brown,  who,  dining  with  Handel,  bad 
the  bad  taste  to  peep  through  a  keyhole,  and 
eauKbt  the  uii^bty  iimater  drijiking  Burgundy, 
while  his  guest  was  regaled  with  aimplo  port  I 
Schoelclier,  who  quotes  tliis  ktter  aoeudote,  is  in- 
dignantj  and  saya  that  "it  ia  dianietricaily  opposed 
to  Handels  charficter  for.  libendity.'*  Granted 
that  Handel  was  liberal  in  the  main,  a  man  so  fond 
of  fjfK>d  living,  ivs  all  evidence  shows  tliat  ho  was, 
will  sometimes  do  shabby  things  when  hiii  appetite 
ia  concerned.  The  story  told  by  IVfiss  Hawk  inn, 
with  the  subsequent  puhlic^itioa  of  the  caricature, 
is  alone  Huffielent  to  jirove  the  fact  of  Banders 
love  for  good  living. 

If  we  require  any  more  proof,  let  ua  take  the 
lines  in  Tke  Scandtilkade^  a  Hiitirieal  poem  pub- 
lished in  1 700,  not  hitherto  ouotcd  by  tboHo  wlio

pftoaffer,  so  celebmted  for  his  extreme  ugliness,  is

April  Fool  Day. — It  may  be  interesting  to 
note  that,  just  as  in  spring  we  in  Europe  have  our

Festum  Shdtorum^  so  in  the  Brahman  festival  of 
spring,  the  IJuli\  the  CJirnival  of  the  Hindoos,  one 
ol'  the  priucifMil  diversions  of  our  fellow  subjects  ia 
to  send  people  on  errands  and  expeditions  that  are 
to  end  in  disappointment,  and  raise  a  laugh  at  the 
expense  of  the  person  sent.  The  identity  of  this 
practice  with  making  April  fools  is  noticed  by 
Maurice,  who  remarks  that

on  the  lit  of  April  iit  Enslaod  atid  darinp  the  H«>ll

Country  StiPERsTiTtoNfi. — A  clerpj  man's  wife 
in  Shropshire  hurt  Ler  foot,  while  walking  in  htr 
garden,  by  treadin^^  on  a  nail  slicking  in  a  piece 
of  w(km3.  The  wound  not  healing  after  the  ordinary 
remedies  Imd  been  applied,  slie  ehowed  it  to  a 
woman  in  the  village  much  renowned  aa  a  doctres6. 
Thia  person  asked  gravely  whtit  had  been  done 
with  the  nail  which  had  c;iuaed  the  hurt,  Sho 
was  told  it  probably  remained  where  it  was. 
*'Ah!"  she  said,  ''you  should  have  j?ot  a  nice 
piece  of  fat  bacon,  find  put  the  nail  into  it.  Your 
foot  would  have  healed  quickly  enough  then." 
fc>urely  this  is  caiTying  the  Gospel  principle  of  re- 
turning good  for  evil  to  a  great  extent.       R  £.

BELL  HORSES, 
(50*  S,  iv.  408,  521  ;  v.  134,  197.) 
In  olden  time — and  I  refer  chieily  to  my  own 
part  of  the  country— this  place,  Churchdown,  four 
miles  distant  from  Gloucester,  was  connected  with 
that  city  by  grass  roads  unstoned.  These,  of 
couree,  in  wet  seasons  became,  with  a  little  tread- 
ing of  men  and  beaats,  just  such  boggy  tracks  in 
stUi'  blue  clay  aa  our  fancy  may  picture.  The  out- 
come of  this  state  of  thin;£3  I  will  examine.  The 
roads  were  formerly  lined  with  causeways,  or  ndsed 
side-patlis,  some  three  or  fonr  feet  high,  to  liffe 
pedestrians  out  of  the  mire.  But,  as  will  be  shown, 
thin  remedy  proved  worse  than  the  evil ;  for, 
throu^di  the  causeways  taking  from  the  width  of 
the  roads,  the  treading  of  pack-horses  and  cattle 
was  confined  to  a  more  limited  space,  and  thus 
converted  the  narrowed  roads  into  what  were  little 
better  than  w4de  muddy  ditches  or  trenches.  Now, 
so  wretchedly  bad,  and  at  times  impassable,  were 
they,  that,  early  in  the  sixteenth  century, the  chantry 
priests  who  came  out  from  St.  OawnUre  Priory,  at 
Gloucester,  to  serve  the  parish  church  of  St.  Bar- 
tholomew, at  Churchdown,  and  who  were  bound 
to  perform  certain  functions— for  example,  to  saj 
mortuary  maaaea  for  the  repose  of  the  departed — 
could  not  return  to  their  home  at  the  Priory,  and 
therefore  took  up  their  quarters  at  the  church,  in 
the  parviso  chamber,  over  the  north  porch,  still 
existing.    This  parviso  is  of  stone^  and  some  of  tha

largest  blocks  on  the  east  and  west  sides  are  of  old 
coffins  and  coffin-slabs  of  the  monks.  These  large 
stones  are  ornamented  with  not  inelegant  incised 
floriated  crosses  (temp.  Ed.  I.- II.).  In  this  upper 
loom,  to  which  one  mounts  by  winding  stone  stairs 
in  the  thickness  of  the  wall,  arc  some  stone  corbels 

J)iojecting  from  one  side  of  the  wall ;  these,  I 
ancy,  must  have  supported  a  wide  ledge,  or  floor 
for  a  dormitory.  There  is  also  a  fireplace  that 
communicates  outside  with  a  good  style  of  me- 
diaeval chimney,  on  a  level  with  the  eaves  of  the 
roof.  The  necessity  for  such  a  room  as  this  arose, 
no  doubt,  from  the  deplorable  state  of  the  roads, 
which  practically,  during  the  worst  part  of  the 
year,  cut  off"  communication  with  the  city,  at  least 
for  pedestrians  such  as  monks  and  priests.  Add 
to  this  that,  within  only  the  last  hundred  to 
a  hundred  and  fifty  years,  the  parish  roads  were  so 
miserable  that  the  farmers  went  to  some  expense 
in  building  stabling  near  the  church,  wherein  they 
could  put  up  their  nags  during  divine  service  ; 
for  in  wet  weather  they  were  obliged  to  come  on 
horseback.  Within  the  hst  fifteen  years,  all  these 
old  causeways  have  been  swept  away,  and  the 
roads  widened  and  levelled  ;  and,  moreover,  have 
received  a  macadamizing  with  what  Southey  spoke 
of  as  the  "sublime  and  beautiful,"  which  the 
Bristolians  cart  away  from  their  lovely  rocks  that 
form  the  gorge  of  the  Avon.  After  this  preamble, 
we  must  at  once  see  that  the  contracted  width  of 
the  old  roads  led  to  this,  that  the  travelling  pack- 
horses,  even  in  single  file,  would  not  have  too 
much  room  to  pass  each  other  when  they  met ; 
and  besides,  in  those  days  of  no  highway  boards  or 
road  surveyors,  there  must  have  been  weak  and 
dangerous  places,  veritable  quagmires,  where  per- 
haps a  spring  welled  out,  or  water  stood  upon  the 
clay ;  for  there  were  no  draining  pipes  then,  and  if  a 
little  improvement  was  attempted,  it  was  by  means 
of  poor  fagot  draining.  Imagine,  then,  this  de- 
plorable state  of  the  roads,  and  it  is  plain  that  the 
poor  drivers  of  pack-horses  must  have  gladly  re- 
sorted to  any  simple  warning,  such  as  the  pack- 
bell  would  afford  them,  against  the  danger  of 
meeting  and  jostling  one  another,  or  tilting  against 
the  travelling  horseman,  generally  a  yeoman,  with 
his  wife  perched  on  pillion,  holding  on  behind  the 
master,  not  as  Tennyson  sings  of  the  happy 
Princess — 

"And  round  her  waist  she  felt  it  fold. 
And  far  across  the  hills  she  went " 

— but,  on  the  contrary,  as  the  old  Somersetshire 
baUad  of  "  Mr.  Guy  and  the  Robbers  *'  tells  it,— 

**  A  man  o'  veelin

A  yeoman  living  in  the  neighbourhood  Imtf 
me  that  he  has,  amongst  his  hoosehold  6fledi,« 
of  these  pillions,  on  which  the  better  half  of  ok  «( 
his  fore&thers  travelled  to    the  ancient  eitj^ 
market.    Further,  in  reference  to  the  pad[4B 
bells,  I  happen  to  have  a  specimen,  wnid  en 
into  my  possession  thus  :   hayiiig  boflt  a  kv 
here,  about  fifteen  years  ago,  a  long  sopoiii 
drive  was  made  leading  up  to  it,  and  pamg 
a  Une  of  depression  uiat  evidently  indioded  h 
site  of  an  old  road.    Whilst  this  was  hdag  # 
through  the  slope  of  the  hill,  the  worianea  ditf  i 
an  old  pack-horse  bell,  which  it  will  be  as  «■ 
describe.    I  may  remark,  in  passing,  how  ita^ 
it  is  that,  if  you  cut  beneath  the  soU  almost  a^ 
where,  you  meet  with  ground  that  has  been  A 
turbed  before,  hiatoriGEil  land-surfaces.    HeR,ii 
the  cutting  before  mentioned,  at  a  depth  of 
four  or  five  feet,  were  burnt  hearth  or  other  it 
charred  and  carbonized  matter,  such  as  boiMii 
the  like,  all  speaking  forcibly  of  past  settkn,  ib 
had  played  their  petty  part,  gone  their w$j,tdi 
whom  we  know  nothing.    My  pack-horse  htSi'ni

about  two  and  three-quarter  inches  in  dianeli^ 
with  an  equatorial  bead  around  it,  in  relief  >

tentl^  of  an  inch  wide,  in  each  hemisphere,  ti 
on  the  lower  half  a  peculiar  fluted  intaglio  psttai; 
the  thickness  of  metal,  exclusive  of  circular  W 
or  rim,  one-twelfth  of  an  inch.     The  link  oo  it

he  became  violently  enamoured  of  a  Miss  Steele^  a 
lady  of  great  personal  attractions,  who,  however, 
did"  not  reciprocate  his  devotion.  Could  this  Miss 
Steele  have  been  related  to  the  Mr$.  Stcdc  whose 
identity  puzzles  Dn,  Dixon  ?  From  his  note  I 
gather  that  the  ia<ly  in  question  belonged  to

seen  a  plUion-seat  for  many  yean?.  Ko  doubt  in 
Tetired  places  people  occuaionally  ride  **  double

or  aomo  substitute,  which  is  what  Mii.  Peacock 
may  have  hemd  of,  I  cannot  discfjver  what  be- 
came of  the  pillion  which  belonged  to  my  grand- 
mother's house,  and  wliich  I  have  often  seen  in 
use,  covered  with  leather  in  strong  sadlers  work. 
Its  dark  blue  doth  cover,  with  a  fringe  (which,  I 
Buppoae,  was  only  used  on  formal  occasions,  our 
chuidi  being  neai),  was  worn  out,  I  remernber,  as 
cover  for  an  iirni-chair  cushion,  untainted  by  moth 
or  rust ;  nnd  there  was  no  stitching  so  regukt^  lioi 


quUting  no  bcAUtiful,  tiU  the  days  of 
machines. 

At  my  earliest  recoOectton,  pilUona  vere 
and  antiquated,  and,  ns  roads  were  pudo&ll 
made  to  idiow  wheels,  I  suppose  were  dej 
uA  useless.  They  and  tho  double  load  mi 
Ijeeu  oppressive  to  horses  ;  and  ns  seen 
decline  of  the  practice,  we  conuect  them 
with  old  persons  and  old  horses,  pond< 
spectability,  and,  hiter,  useful  drud^'cry.  I 
the  last  time  I  saw  one  used  was  in  the  twilight  i 
an  autumn  even  in  ;r,  many  years  aw),  to  rei 
hive  of  bees  away  to  the  last  field  adjnini 
moor,  where  the  ling  was  in  bloom  aft^r  the 
fiowers  were  over.  The  mouth  of  the  hil 
stopped,  and  it  was  well  strapped  < 
boaid*  to  the  pillion.  The  horse  :ijjd 
both  steady  and  cautious.  A  placi^ 
prepared  before,  and  no  doubt  the  bees, 
morning,  rtgoicetl  in  their  new  pasture. 

But  we  loiow  that  in  days  gone  by  \ 
associated  with  half  the  romance  of  i. 
and  that  when  the  rider  and  the  stetJ  \v< 
peifect  accord,  of  undoubted  strength  .*ind  mclU^j 
there  was  nothin;^  inconsistent  with  speed 
triumph  in  wding  **  double  horse,''  often  doul 
without  a  pillion. 

A  marriage  took  place  lately  at  a  neij^hboarii 
felbside  church,  to  which  the  coii  '  --'

often  intended  to  note  an  Ulster  word,  "dttrn- 
mery."  In  co.  Down  there  used  to  bo  a  food 
something  like  porridge  (or  "  stirnbout,"  which 
was  considered  a  more  elegant  name  than  *'  par- 
ritch  •'),  made  in  this  way : — Before  sifters  were 
introduced  into  corn  mills,  the  **  weeds"  or  "shillin'

with  the  «eeda.  A  quantity  of  this  mixture  waa 
put  into  a  "  crock "  (deep  earthen  vessel,  used 
for  cream-milk  preparing  for  the  chum),  and  cold 
water  put  on  it.  After  a  few  days  a  stivrchy 
matter  settled  down,  Thia  waa  boUed  in  a  por- 
ridge pot,  being  carefully  stirred  the  while.  It 
wa^  then  emptied  (like  porridge)  into  wooden  or 
earthenware  dishes  or  basinu,  and  eaten  with 
milk.  It  was  light  brown  in  colour,  a  stiff  jelly 
in  consistence,  and  tasted  slightly  sour.  I  believo 
it  has  not  been  naed  much,  if  at  rUl,  for  the  last 
twenty  or  twenty-tive  years.  It  wa^  vulgarly 
called"  so  wana,"  but  politely  "flummery,"

On  the  summit  of  Bidconibe  Hill,  Wilt?,  is  an 
excavation,  sevend  feet  in  depth  and  circumference,, 
known  as  "  Fnrmenty  Hole,"  where,  according  to 
local  tradition,  the  youths  and  maidens  of  the 
adjoining  villages  were  wont  to  meet,  on  a  certain 
dny  in  eatli  year,  for  the  j^peeial  purpose  of  eating 
furmenty.  There  is  very  little  doubt  that  thia 
custom  Vas  attended  with  numerous  festivities, 
and  that  the  occiision  wtxs  one  of  great  rural  en- 
joyment. My  mother,  from  whom  I  received  the 
information,  w;i3  born  in  the  immediate  locality, 
In  1702  J  but  the  annua!  obgcrvance  referred  io 
must  have  ceased  many  years  previous  to  that 
date,  being  then,  as  now,  only  known  by  tradition. 
The  site  chosen  for  the  rustic  gathering  was  well 
c:dculated  to  promote  enjoyment,  the  scenery 
being  of  the  most  lovely  description.  The  hill  it-

Woodward  and  Chini?  FAMfLtEB  (5*^  S.  v. 
!08,  233.)— I  am  obliged  to  Messrs.  Wade, 
Heane,  and  Ghinn,  who  liaye  kindly  proved  the 
existence  of  such  a  connexion  as  T  suspecteii 
between  the  above  families.  The  Chinns,  how- 
ever,  did  not  retain  their  own  crest  (what  was  it  J) 
when  they  assumed  the  Woodward  motto,  for  the 
crest  of  the  greyhound  sejant  upon  a  crest  coronet 
WM  that  borne,  for  at  legist  faur  centuries,  by  the 
Woodwards  of  Butler's  Merston,  SoUhiiU,  &l\,  in 
Warwick*hire.  (See  the  Harleian  MSS.,  HrM>, 
1563,  1167,  &c%,  in  the  library  of  the  British 
Hnseiim.)  From  them  the  Woodwards  of  Newent 
fchiinied  descent,  and  bore  their  nrms  with  an  in- 
▼♦raion  of  the  tinctures.  In  reply  to  Mr,  Wade^ 
I  Km  not  able  to  S4iy  whether  there  was  any  con- 
nexion between  tho  Woodwards  of  Do.ine  and 
those  of  Newent.  The  propinquity  nf  their  places 
of  residence  would  make  such  a  connexion  pro- 
bable ;  butj  on  the  other  hand,  the  arms  borne  by 
the  families  are  very  widely  different.  The  coat 
of  the  bars  and  staga*  heads  (with  many  variations 
in  the  tinctures  and  minor  details)  was  borne  by 
Bevend  families  named  Woodward  in  Glouces- 
tershire and  Worcestershire  ;  among  other'?,  by 
those  at  Deane  and  by  those  at  Bitton,  near  Bristol. 
But  the  coat  of  the  pale  (not  pall,  which  was  a 
misprint  in  my  querj'),  between  the  eagles  di^ 
played,  ivas  borne  by  the  Woodwards  of  Warwick- 
ehirc,  nnd,  I  believe,  by  those  of  Ledbury,  Mande, 
&c.,  in  Herefordahire,  as  well  as  by  those  resident 
not  far  dIT  at  Newent,  This  was  the  cont  borne 
by  Dr.  John  Woodward,  the  eminent  geologist  ; 
it  may  still  be  seen  on  his  monument  in  the  north 
male  of  Westminster  Abbey,  though  the  grey- 
hound has  been  broken  off  from  the  coronet  which 
surmounts  the  arms.  Dr.  Woodward  was  a 
OlbucestersbiTe  man  ;  perhaps  some  correspondent 
of  *'  N,  &  Q."  can  kindly  inform  us  from  what  part 
of  the  county  he  came.  John  Woodwabd.

lish  growth,  I  think  that  the  even  now  extreme 
braidtb  of  border  in  fashion  is  somewhat  less  than 
that  of  ten  or  twelve  ye^irs  since.  Tliis  may  possibly 
indicate  the  desire  that  is  undoubtedly  gaining

Caut.  Maude's  father  was  born  in  1723  (not  1729),. 
and  his  grandfather  in  1676  (not  1673).  I  think 
that  a  still  more  remarkable  instance  of  "links 
with  the  poat "  is  to  be  found  in  the  case  of  Capt. 
Maude's  youngest  child,,  who  is  just  nineteen,  but 
whose  great-grandfather  was  born  exiietly  two 
centuries  ago.  Few,  I  think,  of  the  "rising 
genemtion  "  can  say  the  same.  G.  E.  M.

Miller's  Steamboat  (4**"  8.  xi.  241 ;  5»*«  S.  v.

article  in  "N.  &  Q."  of  March  22,  1873,  he  wilJ 
find  that  I  quote,  as  my  authority,  Smiles's  Lives 
of  BotUton  and  Watt  (Murray,  1865),  pp.  434-455fc 
It  is  there  stated  (p,  443)  :— 

"  Amongst  the  persons  present  on  the  occasion,  besides 
Miller,  Symiiigtoti,  aud  Taylor,  were  Akxunder  Nasniyth, 
the  landsciipe  painter,  mnd  Robert  Bums,  the  poet,  then 
a  t^iJint  of  Mr.  iMUler  on.  the  neighbouring  furm  of 
BlKid." 

There  is  nn  account  of  this  trial  trip  in  the  ^4^ots 
Maijazine  for  Nov.,  17bS,  quoted  by  Mr.  Smiles, 
but  the  name  of  Burns  does  not  appear  in  it  ;  nor 
is  there  any  reference  to  the  event  in  any  of  the- 
poet's  published  letters.  At  the  same  time,  we- 
cannot  suppoi^e  the  incident  hnui  been  invented, 
Mr.  Smiles  is  usmdly  so  accurate  in  the  infommtion 
he  furnishes,  that  there  can  be  no  doubt  he  haa 
had  sulticient  ground  for  the  statement.

showing  the  white  *nirt-collur,  and  during  the

mander-in-Chief in  India,  inspecting  tlie  35th  Regi- 
ment, was  struck  with  something  unusual  in  their 
appearance,  which  he  found  was  owing  to  every 
man  having  a  clean  shirt-collar  appearing  above- 
bis  mnrzai  (loose  red  coat).  Forthwith,  we  were- 
all  ordered  to  furnish  our  men  with  shirt-collarsi 
from  the  canteen  fund.  C.  B.  (ante,  p.  175)  may 
remember  an  order,  about  the  same  time,  for 
table-cloths  to  be  issued  for  the  men,  which,  when 
clean,  were  homely  and  pleasant.  Bat  the  same

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  Ac 
Tfie  Life  and  Ldten  of  Lord  Macmday.    By  Hm 

Nephew,  Georj^e  Otto  Trevelyan,  M,F,     2  vola. 

(Loni,nii:vn3  &  do.) 
It  is  turely  that  a  "biogmphy  of  a  man  of  letters, 
&  poet,  and  a  sUteamun,  a  man  of  the  world  and  a 
retired  studynt,  ft  favourite  in  society  and  n  lover 
of  home,  ciin  be  otherwise  tbao  interesting.  It 
would  be  difficull  to  find  one  half  so  full  of  interest 
in  lU  details,  and  niirmted  so  simply,  eloquently, 
and  judiciously,  iia  this  Life  of  Maciiuhiy  by  his 
nephew,  the  member  for  Hawick.  In  tlje  two 
volumes  of  between  nine  hundred  and  i\  thouFsand 
pages  there  is  not  merely  not  one  thiit  is  dull,  but 
there  is  not  a  page  which  haa  not  some  variety  of 
charm  to  attract  and  absorb  the  delighted  rciider. 
Macauluy  was  the  son  of  a  lady,  Selina  Milb,  a 
Quakeress,  a  woman  who  sec  ma  to  have  Tie  en 
a  phantom  of  delight,  and  Zachtiry  Jilacaulay, 
a  Scotch  Puritan,  a  hard-headed,  honcjst-hearlcd, 
God-fearing,  and  rather  disngreeable  man.  The 
son  used  to  suy,  in  his  epigrammatic  way,  thr^t  all 
his  joTiality  of  character  cumo  from  his  mother^a 
side.  Zachary  Maeatilay,  the  jgteiit  slavery  aboli- 
tioniat,  may  be  said  to  have  been  the  founder  of 
Sierra  Leone.  He  lived  there  m^any  yeara,  and 
was  irritated  in  the  after-time  if  any  one  ventured 
to  hint  that  the  place  was  unhealthy,  Younr^ 
Maraulay's  inquiring  mind  wa:i  developed  by  the 
grim  sire's  stem  religious  teiiching.  He  was  born 
in  18(K),  and,  when  quite  a  child,  he  saw  a  cloud  of 
black  smoke  pouring  out  of  a  tall  chimney,  and  he 
asked  if  that  waa  hell.  He  had  learnt  the  terrfjrs 
before  he  was  told  of  the  love.  Associating  with 
jrrown-up  people,  and  reading  whatever  came  in 
his  way,  he  expressed  himself  in  a  (jyaint,  elderly 
style.  At  four  years  old  he  received  Hannah 
More,  a  visitor  to  his  parents,  who  were  out,  but 
he  said  if  she  would  be  good  enough  to  come  in  he 
would  bring  her  a  glass  of  old  spirits :  he  re- 
membered that  Robinson  Crusoe  often  bsvd  worae. 
About  the  same  time,  at  Lady  Waldegnvve's,  some 
hot  colFee  was  spilt  on  his  legs.  After  much  pity 
and  various  applications,  Lady  Waldegrave  iiaked 
him  how  he  felt,  and  Thomas  looked  up  and 
replied,  '*  Thank  you,  madam,  the  agony  is 
abated."  Again,  when  residing  at  Clapham,  the 
fanuly  being  a  leading  one  among  the  Evangelical 
Clapbnmites,  he  had  a  little  garden  of  his  own,  the 
boundary  of  which  he  marked  with  oyster  shells, 
which  a  hcuseniaid  took  for  rubbish,  and  thought- 
lessly swept  away.  When  the  future  statesman 
saw  this,  ho  proceeded  to  the  drawing-roora,  where 
his  mother  was  receiving  visitors,  and  aidd  very 
soleuinly,  *'  Cursed  be  Sally  ;  for  it  is  written, 
^  Curbed  is  be  that  renioveth  his  neighbour's  land- 
mark'!"    It  h  pleasant  to  hud  that,  \insjatiated 


devourer  of  books  as  he  was,  he  hated  going  to 
school  (on  CUaph.\m  Common),  not  beoaaw  hit 
hated  learning,  but  that  he  loved  bomt  {a^ 
aionately.  At  school,  however,  he  mnnfnlly 
his  duty.  Hiij  mother  told  him  he  must  learn | 
study  without  the  solace  of  bread  and  but 
"Yes,  mimima,"  was  the  reply;  ** industry 
be  my  bread,  and  attention  my  butter."  At  ei; 
years  of  age  he  wrote  a  fair  compendiutu  of  uriti 
sal  hii^torj',  in  which  Cromwell  figured  as  "an  unj 
and  cruel  man,"  and  Scott's  £ay  and  Marmimi  Id 
him  to  begin  various  epics,  romantic  poem?  t-^':- 
and  hymns.  **  The  affection  of  the  last  gen 
of  hia  relatives  has  presented  all  those  pie:.  . 
the  piety  of  this  generation  wUl  refrain  from  »iife» 
mitting  them  to  public  criticism." 

When  on  a  visit  to  Hannah  More  the  precodooi 
boy  wrote  squibs  and  parodies.      That  rcm   ' 
woman,  who  wrote  tmgedies  and  deooti&cdii 
theatre,  encouraged  his  better  ta^te^  by  pi 
him  with  the  books  he  best  loved.  When 
to  a  private  school,  near  Cambridge,  he  d« 
his  whole  course  of  work  to  his  parent 
writing  un  td  his  study  of  the  (>t?y**^y,  be 
am  classed  with  Wilberforce,  whom  all 
allow  to  be  very  clever,  very  droll,  and  vefJT^ 

f indent."    He  loved  work,    **  I  sit  like  a  I' 
le  says,  *Svith  my  writing-de?k  before  me/ 
he  read,  as  pastime,  aa  many  books  in  a  w«jkj 
ordinary  readers  could  get  through  in  a  yfar. 
retained  pretty  well  all  he  read,  and  he  M 
memory  of  the  eye,  which  not  only  conveyed 
contents  to  the  mind,  but  enahled  him  to 
page  afterwards,  when  he  hnd  only  "the  ma 
eye"  to  recall  it  with.     Hia  letters  during  I 
whole  of  his  school  time  ure  delicious  ;  futtj 
tender  love  to  his  mother,  as  full  of  respect  1 
father,  but  with  stout  and  dignified  defence 
his  aire  unjustly  found  fault  with  him.    IftJ 
respect  he  resembled    Havelock   at  the 
House.  He  was  utterly  disinclined,  indeed 
to  enter  into  any  spoi  fc  ;  and  yet  both  Hal 
and  I^Iacaulay  were  beloved  by  their  schc 
Macaulay's  hearty  however,  was  ever  wit 
at  home,  where  holiday  time  was  to  him, 
his  famQy  circle,  a  time  of  delight^  somet 
uproarious  in  its  fun  aa  it  was,  at  other 
pure  intellectu:d  equality.    The  aire,  Zacbal^r. 
ever,  kept  down  his  son^s  spirit  and  contseil  I 
outward  bearing  of  repression  and  deprtc" 
On  one  occasion  the  father  took  objectiottj 
Bon'fl  loud  tone  in  argument,  and  the  soi

jij  11-^  Macaulay  went  to  Cambridge,  where 
he  learned  to  hate  mathematics  and  algebra  more 
intensely  than  he  had  ever  done  before.  Here  we 
begin  t«>  come  upon  the  events  which  are  better 
known  than  thoae  of  his  earlier  ye«rs.  His  teati- 
mony  on  one  point  is  worth  noticing  : — 

"There  lire  men  here  who  are  more  mathematiciil 
blook^,  who  plod  on  their  eight  houn  a  daj  to  the  honours 
of  tbe  Senate  Hoaae*  who  Icftre  the  RroTes  which  wit- 
iMwaed  the  musingA  of  Milton,  of  Botoon,  And  of  Qruj,

\'-r.r  }  .rtions  of  which  are  startling,  and  every 
|f  rt  of  the  struggle  honoumble  to  Macaulay.  One 
I  iMire  TiLiy  seem  an  exception:   *'The  unduly 
*At  of  th*?fle  who  crossed  his  path  during 
w  hen  his  blood  was  hot  teaches  a  serious 
I  K'^  the  responsibilities  of  genius.''    This  edi- 
remark  refers  to  the  savage  articles  by  Mac- 
on "Croker,    Sadler,    and    poor    Robert 
ilgoniery."    With  regard  to  the  first  two,  no 
ibt  the  writer  thoroughly  haled  them  for  po- 
reasons  ;  but,  with  respect  to  Robert  Moot- 
itnery,  Mac^nulay,  not  content  with  cniahing  him 
jw.«'t,  cruelly  repubH,«.hed  the  article  in  bt.s 
ted  essays,  and  poisoned,  if  he  did  not  really

-WILL"  AND  "SHALL." 
i«  a  ^eat  dielight  with  many  to  consider 
and  Lditin,  together  with  other  less  perfect 
languugctii,  as  giiiainnj  an  itumcBdc  ad- 
over  our  modern  iin:il vtic  niadea  of  exprea- 
>m   thi«  number  of  the  inflections  which 
^Mc^ss.     The  truth  is  that  thesie  laQ):;uagci$ 
leir  peculiar  excelleucies,  which,  if  Liid  in 
iigftinst  the  lul vantages  of  our  style  of 
wc»uid  be  found  iit  leaust  no  greater  than 
Auxilutry  verbs,  as  grammarians  call 
with  us  the  substitutes  for  the  more  an- 
id  cuoibrous  inflectioDB  which  denoted  the 
kiiethods  of  predication,  and  these  oonTey 
led  and  subtle  shades  of  meaning,  th»t 
^be  (a\i\j  said  to  outshine  e\*en  the  much- 
rreck  particles, 

:;ljit  TefL^oDiibly  suppose  that  some  of  the 
inilcctioas,  which  expresaed  the  finer 
of  thought^  would  be  conataBtly  mis- 
L-onfotimled  by  the   Greek  or  Roman 
At  iiny  rate,  two  of  our  auxiliary  verbs, 
«i//,  which  can  boaat  of  being  equally 
inea  of  expression,  are  maltreated  by 
jf  our  own  citixens,  some  of  whom 
>ivM  on   an  education   of   no   mean 
d  a  certain  point,  langu.ige  may  pro- 
ting  subtleties  of  thought  only  with 
[risk  of  becoming  too  fine  for  popular 


use,  and  u'iU  and  nhnU  §e«m  rery  nearly  to  hare 
overshot  this  line  of  demarcation.  A  meaning  in 
the  worda  thcire  truly  h,  and  a  wide  distinction 
separates  the  two,  but  they  are  Bynonywious  to  a 
mind  which  h  not  accustomed  to  analyze  thoughts. 

In  brief  technical  terms  $ltall  h  objective,  will 
subjective — that  is,  they  both  denote  futurity  ; 
but  $kall  dencites  futurity  which  depends  on  cir- 
cumBtancea  external  to  the  subject  of  the  sentence, 
w{ll  futurity  which  depends  on  the  subject  itself. 
Now,  were  this  aU,  the  matter  would  be  pretty 
clear,  and  very  little  obscurity  would  have  existed 
in  their  use.  But,  if  we  take  our  stand  on  t^ 
priori  grounds,  and  consider  how  the  cose  was 
certain  to  turn  out,  we  shall  immediately  foresee 
the  following  complication.  Of  couthc,  in  order 
to  make  a  true  proposition,  the  speaker  must  know 
accurately  whether  the  instance  he  has  in  hund  is 
one  of  subjective  or  objective  futurity,  that  is, 
whether  tlie  futurity  depends  on  caus^M  external 
or  internal  But  no  man  ever  y«t  knew  1ms  neigh- 
bour's heart,  and  so  this  knowledge,  with  a  few 
exceptions,  can  only  exist  when  the  speaker  him- 
self i3  the  subject  of  the  sentence — ^in  other  words, 
when  the  verb  is  in  the  first  person  singular  or 
plural.  In  uU  other  persons  the  futurity  may  be 
subjective,  may  be  objective,  the  speaker  can 
rarely  tell,  and  in  these  persons  will  is  the  legiti- 
mate auxillnry.  There  is  one  way  (and  there  are 
few  others)  by  which  the  speaker  mav  make  cer- 
tain of  the  case,  and  that  is,  by  resolving  to  im- 
pinge on  his  neijk:hbour'a  free-will,  and  thus  make 
the  ciiusc  extemaL  Under  such  conditions,  ifmtl 
may  be  used  with  the  second  and  third  persons, 
and  the  mere  usage  of  iJiall  with  these  persons 
nearly  always  implies  such  an  impingement.  From 
this  we  gather  the  reason  why  diall  may  not  be 
ordinariTy  employed  in  these  cases. 

In  an*  interrogative  or  hypothetical  sentence, 
or  any  sentence  in  which  a  positive  statement  is 
avoided,  will  or  shall  may  be  used,  as  the  ca-ic  may 
be.  And  even  in  interrogative  and  hypothetical 
sentences,  will  and  sJiall  may  cmly  be  used  in 
their  strict  meaning  with  the  second  person  ;  be- 
cause, if  a  third  person  be  invol?ed,  the  use  of 
ihall  would  require  a  knowledge  of  the  circum- 
stances in  which  the  agent  will  be  pliiced.  A  few 
instances  will  make  clear  what  has  been  said. 

Proper  usages  of  the  words  : — 

1.  "  I  teol  bo  dead,  or  clle*  thou  tKalt  die." 

Chaaoer,  Cani.  Tak9, 1539. 

Here  iPttt,  in  the  first  clause,  denotes  that  the 
cause  of  the  speaker's  death  will  be  internal,  that 
the  futurity  is  stibjective.  In  the  second  cIuuhc, 
&hall  necessarily  implies  that  the  speaker  will  im- 
pinge <m  the  freewill  of  the  person  he  addresses  ; 
in  other  words,  that  the  futurity  is  objective,  that 
he  will  murder  the  man.  But  had  the  cause  been 
.any  other  than  himself,  will  would  hare  been  the 
inevitable  auxiliary.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


>u^H 


2.  "  In  the  d&y  that  tliou  eatwt  thereof  thou  shait 
■arely  die,"— Gen.  ii.  17- 

Thia  is  unother  clear  example  of  the  uae  of  shall 
in  other  thun  the  first  persoD. 

a.  "  But  ye  will  Bay,"  &c.— Latiracr'a  SermoM,  pajMm. 
X^atimer  could  sctircelj  have  employed  shall  in  this 
iMvae,  unless  he  had  made  op  his  mind  to  compel 
the  people.  Therefore  will^  in  this  inatitnce,  may 
or  may  not  denote  subjective  futurity. 

4.  "  I  iay  that  such  maa  shall  go  to  heU  for  so  domg," 
— Latimer's  Servutm. 

This  is  one  of  the  few  case*  in  which  a  cause  ex- 
ternal (n  the  person  alluded  to  may  be  presumed 
mwn  other  than  the  will  of  the  speaker  hiniBelf. 
Here  wcordin^ly  simll  Is  rightly  employed.  God's 
void  is  regarded  as  immutaDlef  and  therefore  iihall 
may  be  always  used,  even  in  the  second  and  third 
personsj  when  speaking  of  the  consequences  entailed 
by  a  man  who  runs  counter  to  or  obeys  a  divine 
ordinance. 

Improper  usages  of  the  word  :— 

1.  *'  1  am  nhle  to  derota  a^  much  time  an  J  attenLion 
to  rtther  subject*,  aa  I  will  bo  under  the  necot^ity  of 
doing  next  winter/' — Chalniera'  Lift,  i,  73. 

The  last  cltiuse  in  this  quotation  involves  an  ab- 
surdity, for  the  writer  himself  states  that  necessity 
will  be  the  cause,  and  yet  employs  will.,  which 
denotes  subjectivity.  Ho  thus  uawittingiy  iden- 
tifies will  and  necessity. 

2.  "  A  countryman,  tellinif  us  what  he  had  seen,  re- 
marked that,  if  the  conllit^ration  went  on  aa  it  waa  doin^, 
we  voufd  bava,  aa  oar  next  seaaon's  employruent,  the 
Old  Town  nf  Edinburgh  to  rebuild."'— Hugh  Miller,  Mif 
Sek&oit  and  M*j  School- Miutertf  p.  333. 

Wonhl  here  makes  the  futurity  of  the  rebuilding 
depend  upon  the  willa  of  the  men  of  Edinburgh, 
which  was  anything  but  the  case. 

3.  "  They  say  I  will  find  nuch  portraits  in  all  the  cot- 
tage t  of  tb«  pcaaanta  thruugh  tlie  villiiKe."— Brace* 

The  error  is  here  the  same  as  in  the  hiat  quo- 
tation, 

4.  "  Let  the  Briti§h  Government  continue  the  protec- 
tion f»f  Ia«t  yi-ar,  and  w«  t(f*H  bo  all  right,  "—,Si/i«cA  t'« 
the  Atsemhty  of  a  Brittik  Colony. 

**  All  will  bo  rif(ht ''  would  have  been  correct,  on 
ftccount  of  the  difficulty  in  connexion  with  the 
second  and  third  persons  mentioned  above. 

6.  Some  time  during  the  last  century,  in  the 
United  States,  one  Abner  Rogers  murdered  a  man 
named  Charles  Lincoln  ;  and  in  hia  trial  Warren 
B.  Parke,  who  was  sent  to  search  Rogers  afier  the 
murder,  gave  evidence  that  he  had  heard  the  pri- 
sonerBuy,  **I  have  fixed  the  warder,  and  17^  have 
a  rope  round  my  neck  to-night."  Supposing  that 
the  prisoner  used  mill  in  its  proper  senae,  Parke 
deprived  Rogers  of  hia  bracca  ;  but  Mr.  Parker, 
counsel  for  the  common  wealth,  thought  that  the 
use  of  the  word  indiciited  an  ifltention  to  commit 


suicide.  Had  he  used  ikall  there  wot 
little  doubt  as  to  his  meaning.* 

Of  course,  I  might  multiply  instoncei 
nitely.  I  have  many  curious  ones  before 
sides  the  mostinterestinj;  of  all — those  dti 
the  language  of  daily  life.  Let  me  oonc 
saying  that  the  misuse  of  these  words 
known  to  be  a  pre-eminent  pecuihtrit/ 
Scotch  and  Irish  dialects,  and  that  I  \ 
other  instance  so  striking  of  Lord  Bacon's 
'*you  mav  imagine  that  you  master  wc 
words  really  master  you."

•'  With  dice,  with  hat^artti,  much  unfit, 
And  ehuttlceocka  aiiaseeming  manly  wit/' 

Kivrea  objects  to  this  etymology,  and  says,  "  It  is 
really  from  hillartty  Fr."  Webster  agrees  with 
Johnson,  whilst  Widker  takes  the  view  of  Nares, 
which  ifl  confirmed  by  Ogilvie.  Mr.  Henaleigh 
Wedgwood  derives  it  through  French  hillard^ 
from  hilloiy  a  stick  or  log  of  wood. 

The  que.stion  is  worthy  of  a  little  closer  exami- 
nation, and  in  this  process  the  first  requisite  is  to 
trace  the  history  of  the  word.  It  does  not  app^i; 
to  be  found  in  English  before  the  time  of  Spenser, 
Shakspeare,  and  Bon  Joason.  Since  it  is  found 
much  earlier  in  France,  the  English  origin  ascribed 
to  it  by  Johnson  is  at  once  disposed  of. 

In  the  Middle  Ages,  Latin  ooula^  houlita^  and 
hilhi^  French  ImuU  and  hilhj  were  used  almost 
indilferenlly  for  games  with  bulls.  In  a  visitation 
of  Odo,  Arcbbishop  of  Rouen,  a.d.  1245,  we  read  : 
*^  Invenimiis  dom.  Laurentium  curatiim  ecclesijie, 
de  Indo  talorum  et  houhtfr^  de  potu  tabernarum 
graviter  dilfiimatum."  In  the  statutes  of  an 
ecclesiastical  synod  of  the  fifteenth  century  it  is 
enactetl,  "Nullua  etiam  laicua  teneat  in  domo  sua 
boulum  sen  ludum  taxiUorum."  In  a.d.  1353  it 
is  stated  in  a  French  inquisition  quoted  by  Du- 
I  cange,  "  Cum  idem  Jaqucl^is  post  pmndium  ad 
hiilas  ivisset  spaciatum  seu  lusum,  accidit  quod 
cum  dictus  Jaquetus  billam  cum  quodam  billanht 
perculere  vellet,  dictus  billardus  a  manibus  ejus 
evasit."  In  another  document,  bearing  date  1389, 
in  old  French,  it  is  stated,  "  Quant  Felix  vouhit 
hill^r  son  coup,  il  prit  sa  bille^  et  la  cuidant  ferir 
elle  echeut  k  terre,  Et  ainsi  comme  il  estendit 
son  bras  cuidant  ferir  sa  hille^  ledit  hillouir  lui 
eschappn  et  encontro  ledit  Picard  par  la  teste 
prea  de  la  temple." 

From  these  quotations,  and  others  which  might 
be  made,  it  is  evident  that  bilh  was  a  bull,  and 
billard  a  stick  with  which  the  ball  w;ii»  struck. 
From  the  description  given,  the  game  must  have 
been  played  out  of  doors,  very  much  in  the  aamo 
manner  as  ''  trap- ball "  of  thirty  years  ago.  With 
this  corresponds  the  first  meaning  given  by  Littr^, 
tub  roe.  **  Billard,'^  "  Autrefois  baton  recourb^ 
avec  lequel  on  pousaait  les  bonles,  et  aussi  queue 
de  billard.^' 

At  what  particular  time  the  rougher  play  out  of 
doors  was  converted  into  the  elegant  baize-covered 
plane  with  ivory  biills  does  not  appear.  It  must 
have  been  not  later  than  the  sixteenth  century. 
The  French  ascribe  the  introduction  to  Henrique

CoRioija  Formation  op  Moss,— In  the  fifth 
volume  of  the  Abridgmad  of  the  Fhilosophieal 
Trat>M.dionSf  there  is  a  contribution  by  Lord 
Tarbat  (first  Earl  of  Cromarty),  mentioning  that 
in  1G51,  he  being  then  nineteen  years  of  age,  he 
swiw  a  plain,  in  the  parish  of  Lochbroom,  covered 
over  with  a  firm  stantiinr;  wood,  so  old  that  not 
only  the  trees  were  devoid  of  leaves,  but  the  bark 
waa  totally  thrown  off;  this,  as  he  learned  from 
the  old  people  in  the  neighbourhood,  waa  the  uni- 
versal manner  in  which  fir  wood  tenmnated, 
and  in  twenty  or  thirty  years  the  trees  would 
ca^t  tbemselveij  up  by  the  roots.  About  fifteen 
years  subsequently  he  haii  occasion  to  travel  that 
way :  he  did  not  see  a  tree,  nor  the  appearance  of 
any  roots,  but  the  whole  plain  had  become  a  flat 
green  niosa  or  morass  ;  and,  on  asking  the  people 
what  had  become  of  the  wood,  he  waa  Iniormed 
that  no  one  had  been  at  the  trouble  of  carrying  it 
away.  The  trees  had  been  overturned  by  the 
wind,  and  lay  thick  upon  one  nnother,  and  the 
moss  had  overgrown  the  whole  timber.  In  1699 
the  whole  place  had  become  a  solid  moss  from 
which  the  peasants  dug  turf  or  peat^  but  it  waa 
not  yd  of  the  best  sort.  Seth  Wait. 

Rink:  Ring:  Circds. — Jamieson  rightly  tells 
us  that  rink  is  the  same  as  ring :  cf.  nothink  as  a 
variation  of  nothing,  and  tinkle  as  connected  with 
iinq-tang.  Perhaps  it  is  le^s  obvious,  though  not 
less  true,  that  rink  is  merely  another  form  of  the 
Latin  circus ;  a  remark  which  will  be  found  in  that 
excellent  authority  on  Greek  and  Latin  deriva^

ment applies  to  nearly  all  ordinary  working  gar- 
deners, as  I  liave  frequently  had  occasion  to  verify. 
Some  time  ago  I  asked  the  head  gardener  at  a 
show  country  hoii?e  in  the  North  if  there  were  any 
planes — Plnianu^  ocndaitaUt  or  Platanu*  orkn- 
ialu — on  the  estat<?,  and,  until  T  mentioned  it,  he 
had  never  heard  of  any  other  plane  tree  than  the 
Aar  psetido-plaUimm.  Both  species  of  the  true 
plane  are,  however,  very  rure  in  Scotland.  The 
numerous  radical  differences  between  it  and  the 
sycamore  need  not  be  enumerated  here.

honHTEJi  —  SoLDfER, — It  iBy  I  think,  very  gcoc- 
rally  believed  that  the  t^rm  "  lobster,''  as  vdgiu-ly 
applied  to  a  soldier,  is  derived  from  the  colour  of 
hia  coat.  Bailey,  in  the  LHdwnary  of  Cant 
Wordi,  175C,  says,  "  Lobster,  a  red-coat  soldier'^ ; 
and  Grose»  in  the  Chisital  IHctionary  of  the 
Vvt(j(tT  Tongue,  1788,  gives  it  thus ;—"  Lobster, 
a  nickname  for  a  soldier,  from  the  colour  of  his  | 
clothes." 

I.H  it,  however,  not  the  case  that  the  term  was 
fir.st  used  wholly  independent  of  the  colour  of  the 
coat,  and  only  meant  a  man  in  armour  ?  and  is 
there  any  record  of  this  use  of  the  word  prior  to 
the  year  1643,  when,  fust  before  the  battle  of 
Liinsdown,  8ir  Arthur  Haslerig's  regiment  came 
down  from  London  with  new  bright  iron  breast 
and  back  plates,  or  shells,  on  which  they  were 
called  the  Lobsters,  by  the  king^a  troops  i

THE  XEW  PEERAGES:  BARONY  OP 

ABEKGAVENNT,  &c. 

(5*b  S.  v.  101,  233.) 

I  am  much  obliged  to  Mr.  Bennett  for  hia  letter 
on  the  ancient  barony  of  Abergavenny,  and  fullj 
confess  to  being  "puzzled  "at  itsdcBceutjOrsuppoaedi 
descent.  Unfortunately,  Mr.  Bennett  does  not 
rt'fer  to  any  authority  for  the  statements  he  makes 
(and,  with  great  modesty,  prefacea  thera  with  such 
worda  as  *'  probably,"  ''  I  believe,"  "  I  presume," 
&c.),  Bo  that,  though  doubtless  he  can,  he  has  not, 
at  present,  helped  to  unravel  the  puzzle. 

I  am  *'  not  aware  of  the  peculiar  tenure  g(  this 
title,"  and  shall  be  glnd  to  be  informed  of  it.  It 
muiit  be  a  vtryi  peculiar  one,  if  it  (the  ancient 
barony,  t.e.  one  prior  to  16U4)  is  vested  in  tho 
present  marquess. 

Mr.  Bennett  writes  that  thia  title,  "like  the 
honour  of  Arundel,  literally  {»ic\  I  believe,  goes 
with  the  castle  of  Bergavenny,  as  decided  in  lfi03, 
and  is,  I  presume,  the  only  other  instance,  besides 
Anindel,  on  record."  I  should  be  glad  to  know 
to  what  record  Mr.  Bennett  refers,  and  what  is 
the  ground  of  bis  belief.  The  proceedings  of  the 
Bouse  of  Lords  in  1G03  appear  adverse,  and  not 
favourable,  to  such  a  conclu.-iion.  I  tpiote  from  the 
First  I^qiort  of  the  Lords*  Committcu  on  the  J>ig- 
nity  of  FcerageSj  1820,  pp.  434  to  444,  In  tho 
proceedings  re^ipecting  the  hiirony  of  Rooa  occur 
these  words  :  ""  It  was  not  then  conceived  that  tho 
House  badj  in  the  proceedings  respecting  the 
barony  of  Beriijavenny,  decider!  that  the  right  to 
the  dimity  of  peerage  had  belonged  to  Edward 
Nevill  by  reason  of  his  t4?nure  of  tho  castle  and 
territory  of  Bergavenny."  Aj;ain,  in  the  account 
of  the  Bergavenny  claim,  *'  If  the  seisin  of  tho 
ciistle  and  territory  of  Bergavenny  had  been 
deemed,  in  the  reign  of  James  I.,  to  have  carried 
with  it  the  dignity  of  baron,  it  is  evident  that  its 
poasesaors  mu^t  have  been  barons  before  the  49th 
of  Henry  III.  [Le.  the  date  of  summons  creating 
the  bttrony  of  Le  Des[>encer],  and  therefore  the 
precedence  would  have  belonged  to  the  possessor 
of  Bergavenny,  and  not  to  Mary  Fane  "  [aa  Ban>- 
nesa  Le  Despencer].  Again^  **  It  seems  that  a 
large  jwrtion  of  the  Lords  were  not  disposed  to 
allow  the  existence  at  that  time  of  a  right  to  the 
dignity  of  pecrnge  by  tenure,  and  the  Lords  were 
unanimous  in  affirming  the  decision  with  respect 
of  precedency"  [ix.  postponing  the  barony  of 
Abergavenny  to  that  of  Le  Despencer],  "The 
proceeding,  therefore,  seems  irreconcilable  with 
any  principle."  And,  again,  in  the  Third  Report, 
p.  *216,  '*Thc  precedence  finally  given  to  the  dig- 
nity of  Baron  Le  Despencer,  avowedly  a  mere 
peraontvl  dignity,  derived  from  a  writ  in  the  49th 
Henry  III.,  was  utterly  inconsistent  with  the 
right  to  a  dignity  of  baron  claimed  in  respect  at

tenure  of  the  barony  of  AbefgArenoy,  which  was 
a  barony  long  before  the  49th  Henry  III." 

In  Arthur  Collinses  Baromts  btj  W^rity  1734, 
folio,  pp.  61  to  140,  is  a  fiill  account  of  this  claim, 
and  a  more  conciae  one  in  the  preface  to  the  Sy- 
7iopns  of  the  Fecragc,  by  Sir  N.  Harris  Nicolas, 
1825,  pp.  XXX  to  xxxvii,  which  ia  omitted  by 
Mr,  Coiirthope  in  bis  lat^r  edition  of  that  work. 
At  p.  xxxvii  Sir  H.  Nicolas  writes  : — 

"  Neither  Eich&fd  Beaucbamp,  who  succeeded  Lis 
father  in  HIO  (and  waa  created  Earl  of  Worcester  in: 
1420),  Eilward  NctUI  tii«  son-m-lnw,  George  NeTill  ion 
of  the  eaid  Ediiiard,  nor  George  liiB  eon,  were  over  seized 
of  that  territory  [it,  that  uf  Abergavennyjj  bo  that, 
though  eacli  of  the  three  pcraona  laat  named  were  regu- 
larly futmnoned  to  ParliaTnent  ai  Lords  BcrgaveTmy, 
they  could  have  no  righe  to  such  writs  of  tummona  hud 
the  princijile  then  prevailed  that  the  dignity  was  then 
attached  to  the  tenure  of  the  caatle  of  BergaTcnny." 

Til  ere    is  also   the  awkward   fact    that    John 

Hastings,  Earl  of  Pcmbrokcj  made  over  the  castle 

and  territory  of  Bergavenny,  in  1373,  to  feotfees 

.in  whom  the  legtil  cst^ate  continued  for  some  tiiae. 

See  First  It(port  of  ike  Lords,  <S:c,,  p.  442. 

I  think  then  that,  with  the  insertion  of  the 
word  **  not,"  I  may  use  Mil  Bennett's  own  ex- 
pressive words,  and  ssiy  that  *'  this  title,  literally, 
I  believe,  goes  (not)  with  the  caatle  of  Berga- 
Tenny."' 

The  real  state  of  the  case  appears  to  hay©  been 
aa  alle^^^ed  by  Mary  Fane,  viz,,  "that  William 
Beauchamp  purchased  the  estate  and  lordship  of 
Bergavenny  by  agreement  with  Rfj^'ina!d  Grey, 
&Dd  waa  created  Baron  of  Bcrcravenny  by  writ, 
and  that  no  person  before  William  Beauchamp 
had  summons  to  Parliament  as  Baron  of  Berga- 
venny," Their  lordships*  remark  on  this  {First 
Etp<yrt^  p,  443)  is,  '*  The  fact  seems  to  have  been 
as  thus  stated," 

The  petition  of  Mary  Fane  was  for  this  barony 
of  Bergavenny,  created  by  writ  oS  a.d.  1392,  but 
the  feeling  of  tbe  House  of  Lords  waa  doubtless 
that  Eiiward  Nevill,  who  had  the  lands,  was  a 
much  fitter  person  for  it;  and,  at  their  suggestion, 
the  King,  in  1604,  satisfied  the  lady  by  term  mating 
in  her  favour  a  barony  more  than  one  hundred 
years  older,  viz.,  that  of  Le  De.Hpencer,  to  which 
she  was  a  co-heir,  and  by  summoning  Edward 
Nevill  as  Baron  of  Bergavenny. 

I  am,  however,  still  "  puzzled  "  to  see  how  this 
summons  vested  in  the  s>aid  Edward  NevOl  (who 
was  not  heir,  or  even  a  co-heir,  of  the  barony  of 
1392,  or  of  any  other  more  ancient  barony)  a  higher 
dignity  than  a  peerage  of  1604,  neither  do  I  Bce 
on  what  grounds,  unless  there  exists  a  patent 
limiting  the  dignity  to  the  heirs  raaJe  of  the  body 
of  the  said  Edward,  even  this  (16D4)  peeruge  can 
be  held  to  be  vested  in  the  present  marquess. 

With  respect  to  the  bwrony  of  Le  Despencer, 
Mr.  Bennett's  additions  are  most  important.  1 
tniat  he  will  give  us  some  clue  to  his  authority  by 


itlio^ 


ided 


answering  these  queries,  which,  "  when  found,"  I 
shall  certainly  make  a  note  of: — 1.  At  what  ikte 
was  the  abeyance  of  this  barony  terminated  h 
favour  of  Henry  Lord  Abergavenny  (who  died 
1587),  or  of  his  Ancestors?  2,  In  what  Parliatae&t 
did  the  sjiiii  Henry  ait  as  Lord  Le  Despeooer, 
which  he  would  liaye  done  i\s  being  the  oId«f 
title  ?  3.  In  the  event  of  no  auch  sil 
where  is  he  styled  Lord  Le  Despencer  f  4,  Wh« 
is  there  an  account  of  the  claim  of  Lady  Fane 
this  barony  t  I  do  noty  of  course,  allude  to 
claim  to  that  of  Bergavenny,  so  often  allut 
above,  I  am  w^ell  aware  that  she  wna  a 
heir  to  the  barony  of  Le  Despencer,  and  that 
King,  by  letters  patent,  May  25,  10* i4,  coi 
it  to  her. 

Mr.  Bennett  calls  Le  Despencer    the    oM< 
title  of  the  two,  and  so  it  w:is,  but  it  is  inconaii- 
tent  with  the  notion  held  by  him  that  Bergarcnny^ 
waa  a  barony  by  tenure. 

As  to  the  choice  between  Lewes  or  Tunbri^ 
for  an  earldom,  it  is  a  caae  of  de  gustibtt*  m 
Tunbridge  is  much  the  nearer  to  the  fji 
estates,  and  though  I  certainly  waa  aware  that 
"  is  completely  in  another  county  "  from  EriV 
that  other  county  ia  Kent,  with  which  the  Nci 
have  for  centuries  been  illustriously  connected. 

The  wjrWom  of  Arundel   is  doubtless 
vested  in  the  Duke  of  Norfolk,  but  it  will 
fear,  a  very  disagreeable  surprise  to  his  Gi 
hear  that  '*  the  honour  of  Arundel  [whatever 
may  be]  goes  with  the  castle  of  Bergavenny," 

In  answer  to  A.  R.  on  the  special  (very 
limitation  of  the  barony  of  Harlech— 1  am 
politician,  and  am  quite  ready  to  admit  thatl 
claims  of  Mr,  William  Ormsby  Gure  for  a 
are  equal  to  those  of  bis  brother.     If  so,  howi 
it  was  a  pity  not  to  have  made  hivi  the  peer, 
the  usual  limitation,  instead  of,  or,  if  m 
in  addition  to,  his  brother.     Even  if  there 
more  brothers  with  equal  chiinis,  there  is  a  i 
precedent  in  the  Welleslcy  family  for  fourbt 
all  holding  peerages  by  creation.     But  can  A 
give  us  other  cases  of  a  commoner  being  nindl 
the  peerage  of  England,  with  a  special  remau>i< 
They  are,  I  think,  very  rare  ;    and  a  *pecill 
mainder,   \m  in    tbe   present  case,  granted 
person  with  (xuting  iseue  (not  in  favour  of 
issue,  but  of  collaterals),  is  unprecedented. 

The  RoLl^aiaUT  Stone-s  (6*^  S.  v.   169, 
quiring  of  an  old  man  born  and  bred  at 
Rollrigbt,  a    village  between   which   and 
Eollright  the  stones  stand,  he  told  me  thai 
were  many  stories  when  he  was  a  bfty 
them  stones,"  but  people  did  not  care  about 
now.     On  asking  him  if  he  could  remeoiher  as 
of  these  stories,   he  said  one  story  waa  that

man,  more  than  eighty  years  old,  arrived, 
wid  the  woman  wtus  bewitched  by  her  next 
•  Beighbour,  a  respectable  married  woman,  and 
every  time  this  witch  saw  her  the  greiiter  was 
power  over  her,  and  that  a  screen  must  im- 
lately  be  put  up  to  prevent  the  possibdity  of 
lOdkuig  at  her,  and  also  that  two  horse-shoes 
i  be  nailed  on  the  door.  At  the  same  time  tie

have  been  abolished,  and  the  present,  rustic— un- 
like hJ3  forefathers,  unable  to  read  or  write,  and 
their  ideas  confined  to  the  place  of  their  birth,  and 
their  travels  to  the  market  town — reads  penny- 
newspapers,  makes  excursions,  and  mixes  with

legends,  though  the  belief  in  them  may  still  linger 
in  remote  parisheSj  are  becoming,  as  the  old  man 
at  Rollright  said,  less  cared  for,  and  will  soon  be 
things  of  the  past.  But  are  the  thoughts,  and  the 
interests,  and  the  beliefs  that  are  rising  up  in  their 
place  calculated  to  advance  the  morality  und  the 
religion  of  the  labouring  cl&ases  ?    I  fear  not.

f)08sibly  be  one  in  MS.  on  the  records  of  the  Col-

Extinct  Peemgcs ;  but  all  these  are  more  or  less 
defective,  and  in  some  jwints  eontmdictory.  He  is 
therein  stated  to  have  been  the  son  of  Dr.  Thomas 
Richardson,  and  to  have  been  born  at  Hardwick 
in  1561).  There  are  two  places  of  this  name  in 
Norfolk,  one  a  small  liamiet  near  King's  Lynn, 
attached  ecclesiastically  to  North  Runcton,  and 
the  other  a  village  a  little  south  of  Long  Stratton,

have  not  yet  made  any  inquiries,  I  think  it  will 
probably  be  met  with  at  Shdton,  if  the  register  of 
tbit  date  Ktill  exists.  The  a  is  mistaken,  however, 
in  supposing  that  the  arms  borne  by  the  Chief 
Justice  lu-e  identical  with  those  of  the  Richardsons 
of  Sussex.  Sir  Thomas  Richartlson  bore  "  Or,  on

Lord  LicoKrER  (5**  S.  v.  249.) — Jenn  Louia 
Ligonier  and  his  brother,  Fran^ob  L'gonier,  fled 
froni  France  to  England  in  1697-  They  served  in 
the  British  array  in  Marlborough^*?  wars.  Tho 
elder,  who  first  attracted  attention  by  his  gallant 
condtjct  At  the  atomiing  of  Lie^e,  rose  to  the 
highest  rank  in  the  array,  was  crejitcd  Earl  Ligo- 
nier, and  afterwsirds  Viacount  Ligonier,  of  Clonmel, 
with  remainder  to  his  nephew.  Francis  Ligonier 
was  a  colonel  in  the  anny  and  A,D,0.  to  King 
George  XL  He  died  of  fatigue  at  Falkirk  in  1745. 
Hia  firon  Edward,  a  captain  and  lieut.-colonel  in  the 
Ist  Foot  Guards,  succeeded  to  the  Irish  vis- 
countcy  on  the  death  of  his  uncle  in  1770,  and 
was  colonel  of  the  9th  Regiment  of  Foot.  He 
married  Penelope  Pitt,  sister  of  Lord  Rivers,  who 
was  beautifol  but  fruih  He  foaght  a  duel  on  her 
account  with  Alfieri,  and  was  divorced  from  her. 
She  afterwards  married  Capt.  Smitli.  Lord  Ligo- 
nier* married,  secondly,  Mary,  daughter  of  Lord 
Northington,  but  died  without  issue  in  1782.

George  Pitt,  Siratfield  Say,  in  Southampton,  Esq., 
by  Penelope  his  wife,  sister  of  Sir  Richard  Atkins, 
Bart.  The  Act  recites  tbat  Lord  Ligonier  and 
Penelope  Pitt  were  married  in  May,  1766  ;  that 
she  w;w  charged  with  familiariiy  and  udnlterous 
conversiiLiou  with  Vittorio  Aniadeo  Alfieri,  Count, 
in  May,  1771  ;  that  Lord  Ligonier  bad  no  issue  hy 
the  said  Penelojxj  Viscountess  Ligonier,  and  praya 
for  a  dissolution,  with  power  to  marry  again.  The 
Ligoniers  seem  to  have  been  connecteil  with  the 
army  from  11  Uk  I  aliould  be  glad  to  learn  any 
particohirs  resjjecting  Lady  Ligonier,  and  what 
became  of  her  eventually.  For  some  years  after 
the  dissolution  referred  to  she  resided  at  Light-

been  visible  from  the  tnore  southern  of  these  sta-

of  two  different  persons  ;  but,  notwithstanding  a 
serious  discrepancy  in  the  dute  of  death,  I  suspect 
— from  coincidence  in  date  of  birth,  and  of  appoint- 
ment to  a  Lancashire  livino;  (G«rstaog),  and 
identity  of  college  and  name  of  fatiiser,  and  some

Wftrrington— thai  he  refers  to  the  Rer.  Thomas 
Hayward,  one  of  the  head  inasterR  of  Boteler's 
Free  Grammar  School  at  Warrmo:ton,  of  whom  an 
account  will  be  found  in  voL  viii.,  p,  69,  of  the

A  FoLK-LoRE  So€iETr  (5'*  S.  T,  124.)— May  I 
call  the  attention  of  St,  Swithin  and  others  to 
the  following  suggestions  1  "  The  Decjiy  of  Ruial 
Tradition  "  is  the  title  of  an  article  in  the  Saiur- 
day  litviav  for  Feb.  5,  1876,  in  which  it  is  stated 
that  the  editor  of  a  Worcestershire  newspaper  has 
invited  co-operation  throughout  that  county  in  an 
experiment  to  collect  "  the  floating  and  unwritten, 
or  at  leaat  unpublished,  treasures  of  local  tradi- 
tions, customs,  legends,  proverbs,  rhymes,  and 
miscelhineon.H  fireside  memories  belonging  to  the 
county."  The  idea  ia  so  excellent  thrtt  I  wish  it 
every  succeas.  My  object  in  referring  to  the  sub- 
ject here  is  to  hope  that  the  Hiime  thing  may  bo 
done  in  every  county,  and  that  the  eollectiona  may 
include  writings  in  various  dialects,  lista  of  locally* 
printeil  books  (many  of  which  never  reach  Blooms- 
bury),  of  all  the  works,  small  as  well  as  great, 
relating  to  the  county,  of  local  wortliiej*,  and  of 
authors,  celebrated  and  comparatively  unknownj 
bom  within  the  county.  As  copies  of  all  our 
newspapers  are  preserved  at  the  British  Museum, 
the  collections  would  soon  prove  of  great  value  to 
the  antiquary,  and  a  thousand  waifs  and  alrays, 
that  would  not  find  adraiBsion  even  to  the  pages  of 
*'  X.  &  Q./'  be  preserved.  The  gchoolmaster  who 
laughs  at  old  traditions,  and  the  railway  that  ir< 
rapidly  mixing  the  population  of  the  country,  are 
Siid  destroyers  of  our  local  legenda.    Who,  then, 


of  newspaper  editor*  will  come  to  the 
opening  their  coluroas  for  this  purpose,  oy,  m. 
one  particular  Saturday  of  the  month  ?  and  who  o( 
clergymen,  doctors,  and  antiquaries  will  take  tlM< 
trouble  to  seek  for  and  write  down  such  lblk*loviJ 
as  may  yet  be  found  lingeriDg  in  out  lea- 
enlightened  districts  ?  H.  Bowkr. 

AuTEORs  Wanted  (5"»  S.  v.  S48.)— The  eam- 
upondent  who  tuks  for  the  author  of  Afodcm  CW 
radersfrom  Shakspeure  is  probably  not  aware  tlurtj 
the  volume  was  a  collection  from  Rome  newspaj 
of  the  day,  and,  as  it  was  published  anonvmoi 
there  is  "little  chance  that  the  writer  will  ever 
discovered. 

The  book  would  probably  have  been  long  »Um* 
forgotten,  had  it  not  been  for  the  fact  of  iu  beii^g 
mentioned  by  Boswell  in  his  Life  of  Jofnison:—

he,  'I  have;    I  should  have  been  torry  to  have

him  :—

The  sentence  given  in  the  book  is^ 
"  You  Hkust  borrow  me  Garagantua'a  mouth, 
'Tta  a  word  too  Kroat  for  aay  mouth  of  this  age'i 

If  I  remember  rightly,  it  has  been  shown  in  ll

Most  of  the  late  Gothic  work  in  Scotland  was 
done  by  Flemish  masons  and  architectSj  as  may  be

the  sisters  of  Stanislaus  Poniatowski  were  :— 

L  Louisa,  b.  17*28,  m.  Count  .lohn  ZAtnoisky. 

2.  Isabel,  b.  1730,  na.  Count  John  Clement  Branickj. 

There  were  two  nieces  of  Stanislaus  who  were 
C'oiintesBes  Tyszkiewiez — Conatance,  daughter  of 
his  brother  Casimir,  b,  17.''iill,  m,  Lewis  Count 
Tyszkicwicz  (so  Betharo  spells  it)  ;  and  Maria 
Theresa,  daughter  of  Andrew  Poniatowski,  b. 
1765,  m.  Count  Vincent.  Which  was  the  writer 
of  the  letter  ?  Hermentrude. 

The  Stanislaus,  King  of  Poland,  the  names  of 
whose  sisters  I  desired  to  ascertain,  was  of  course 
the  Stanislaus  Poniatowski  mentioned  in  the  letter 
of  hia  niece,  **la  Comtessc  Tyakiewiez,  Princessc 
Poniatowska,"  in  1824,  as  *'  Le  feu  roi  de  Pologne,

obliged  for  the  information  as  to  the  History  of 
Poland  by  Mr.  Fletcher,  and  should  be  still  more 
BO  if  favoured  with  a  loan  of  the  book,  which  I 
would  return  safely  in  a  week  or  ten  days.

(5'*"  S.  iit.  107, 152,  271,  37t)^I  am  probably  able 
at  last  to  answer  my  own  query.  The  Lady  Pye 
who  lived  at  Hammersinith  aeems  to  be  Hester, 
the  second  wife  of  Sir  Walter  Pye,  of  the  Mynde, 
Attorney- General  of  the  Court  of  Wards  and 
Liveries,  and  knighted  1640.  My  reason  for  so 
thinking  is  that,  previous  to  her  marriage  with 
him,  she  was  (aiccording  to  the  Visitation  of  Here- 
fordshire, 1661),  &c.,  copied  in  fifth  vol.,  Kichola's 
Hernhl  and  (tcnmhgutf  p.  132)  the  widow  of 
Ellis  Criape,  whom  I  conclude  to  be  the  father  of 
Sir  Nichohis  Crispe,  and  mentioned  in  Faulkner'fl 
Mavivier»mith,  183IJ,  p.  92.     Ellis   Criapc  lived 


there,  and  she  was  (as  I  imagine)  his  aeoond  wife. 
She  fturvived  him  for  eight  years,  and  moti  pfo> 
brvbly  lived   there  after  his  death  ;    hence 
house    she    lived    in    was   culled    **  liady 
house/'     Thia  lady  is  not  ono  of  the  eight  mc 
tioned  in  my   query  of  6th  Feb,,   1875,  uid

kt  portion  of  the  standard  work  of  Sir  Travers 
rigs,  on  the  Law  of  Nations,  which  relates  to 
its  and  duties  in  time  of  war,  is  very  acceptable 
'ft  time  when  the  whole  subject  of  International

^fully  upheld  alike  againwt  tbo-ic  who  would 
jjtch  them  indefinitely,  and  against  those  who

isonable  proceeding,  and  advocates  the 
luiLrii^ijiuent  of  tribunals  of  arbitration  for  the

may  be  the  ultimat*  result  of  these  endeavours, 
however  distant  the  attainment  of  the  goal 
rards  which  both  theae  achook  are  tending,  the 


importance  of  a  careful  study  of  the  history  and 
principles  of  the  law  of  nations  is  njuch  enhanced 
oy  the  developments  and  modifications  which  the 
hist  ten  years  have  brought  about.  Whether  for 
the  naval  or  military  oflftcer,  the  statesman,  tho 
political  agent,  or  the  jurist,  the  study  of  Inter- 
national Law  has  become  increasingly  necessaiy. 
We  should,  indeed,  be  glad  to  see  a  professor  or 
lecturer  on  the  law  of  nations  permanently  added 
to  the  atreEgth  of  the  Naval  College  at  GreenivicL 
The  Staflf  College  at  Sandhurst  has  a  Professor  of 
Military  Law,  whose  duties  might  ensily  be  ex- 
tended 80  aa  to  include  the  whole  of  the  **  Jus  inter

to  pick  up  scanty  crumbs  of  knowledge  from  Ad- 
miralty circulars  and  station  orders,  we  shall  not 
be  able  to  hope  for  escape  from  dilemmas  which  a 
competent  acquaintance  with  International  Law 
would  enable  our  otlicers  to  avoid.  Th«.se  who 
study  the  excellent  text-book  which  Sir  Tmvers 
Twiss  has  put  forth,  cannot  fail  to  gain  a  clearer 
grasp  of  the  principles  which  it  may  be  their  duty 
to  apply  in  some  of  the  varied  rehitiona  that  arise 
between  the  members  of  the  commonwealth  of

PASSION  WEEK  AND  BASTEB. 
[neseat  week,  which  used  to  be  a  really 

cent,  BolemD  week,  has  become  one  of  the 

ive  of  the  whole  year.  Goofl  Friday  is  na 
national  holiday  as  Eaater  Monday  ;  wher- 
ifl  a  bit  of  a  heath  near  the  capital,  it  is 
gTOond  for  the  inceM^ant  galloping  of  don- 
morn  till  dewy  eve  ;  and  the  Thames  is 

ly  with  boats  than  it  was  when  thej  plied 
beds  on  festival  days,  in  Sb^k^peare'B 
etween  Blackfriara  and  the  Surrey  Bank- 

ly,  however,  occur  to  some  ox  us  that  in  the 
Passion  Week  und  Easter-tide  were  not 
red  with  unquestionable  good  taste*  In  the 
dial  of  Toulotii^e,  for  instance,  duriingf  the 
og  of  the  PAfiaion,  it  was  the  custom  to  whip 
r  loand  the  interior  of  the  building.  Kow,  aa 
Hot  to  be  caughtf  and  every  Jew  bid  hlni- 
tht  searchers,  the  hunt  for  a  victini  muBt 
,  OQ  one  side,  the  fonu  of  uproarioua 
,  ftiid  of  terror  and  de^jjair  on  the  other, 
was  something  which  did  not  tend  to 
in  tho  pmctice  of  Bourdaloue,  who. 
Good  Friday,  ased  to  fiddle  and  dance 
nto  enthusiasm,  in  order  to  preach  on  the 
tutiBtion  of  the  day  and  its  deed  with 

Good  Friday  has  n  Kooad  signi- 


ficance. On  that  day  (April  23,  1014)  the  battle 
of  Clontarf  was  fought,  when  Brian  Boromh  (Boru) 
is  said  to  have  laid  about  hiui  like  aixty  giants, 
and  to  have  annihilated  the  Danes,  M'ho  seem, 
nevertheless,  to  have  been  in  very  lively  and  in- 
fluential condition  lon<T  after.  The  publishing  of 
chronicles  has  put  a  new  face  on  many  an  old 
leijjend.  That  St.  Patrick  wjis  a  Somersetshire 
man,  and  that  he  went  from  Ghwtonbury  to  teach 
the  Irish  people  good  tidings,  ia  now  the  popohir 
version.  Dr.  Todd,  in  The  War  of  the  Ciaddhiai 
with  the  Ghnill^  baa  literally  stamped  out  the 
legend  of  Brian  and  the  bloody  day  at  Clontiirl 
In  the  old  chronicle  edited  by  Dr.  Todd,  Brian  ist 
described  as  saying  prayers  and  singinj*  psalms 
incessantly  in  his  tent,  while  battle  was  raging 
outside^  and  he  only  took  breath  to  ask  on  who»e 
helms  victory  seemed  inclined  to  descend.  Of 
course,  prayers  mij^^ht  have  greater  efficacy  than 
pikes,  but  it  wtia  quite  a  novelty  when  Dr.  Todd 
lirafc  revealed  Brian  as  having  more  of  the  priest 
than  the  soldier  *ui  him.  Full  justice  is  nothing 
leas  than  his  due.  Brian  wu3  stout  soldier 
enough  ;  he  would  not  tight  on  such  a  fast  day 
iva  Good  Friday,  but  he  sent  forth  his  warriors  to 
contend  with  the  Danes.  The  latter  were  routed, 
but  Brodir,  with  some  Danish  followers,  broke 
through  the  Shdd-burg  (a  fortification  of  men  and 
ahielda  round  the  royal  tent).  The  chief  rushed 
at  Brian  with  a  battle-axe  and  a  sarcasm,  but  the 
Irish  king  mot  both  with  a  blow  that  swept  off 
both  of  the  Viking*3  legs.  Brodir,  however,  and  bow 
he  manaf(^ed  to  do  it  is  inexplicable,  contrived  to 
cleave  Brian's  head  with  his  axe,  which  he  seems 
to  have  kept  *' convenient,"  as  they  say  in  Ireland, 
There  is  no  doubt  I  hat  many  a  brave  man  fell  on 
both  sides  on  that  Oootl  Friday,  and  the  victor  ia 
iill  the  better  remembered  inasmuch  as  that  he  fell 
on  the  field  of  his  glory. 

At  a  later  period  the  day  was  considered  as  con- 
stituting a  day  of  truce  in  private  or  public 
warfare.  No  good  Christian  soldier  feared  any 
traitorous  attempt  on  that  sacred  day.  When 
King  John  ordered  the  arrest,  in  Irelimd,  of  Sir 
John  dc  Courcy,  the  carrying  of  it  out  was  en- 
trusted to  Sir  Hugh  de  Lticy.  Sir  Hugh  was  per- 
plexed in  the  extreme  as  to  how  it  would  be 
possible  to  lay  hands  securely  on  &o  dangerous  a 
person,  who  was  by  day,  if  not  by  night,  iu  full 
panoply,  and  ever  had  one  hand  on  his  dagger. 
But  it  was  Sir  Jobn*»  custom  to  doff  hit*  nrmour  on 
Good  Friday.  Sir  Hugh  got  information  of  tbis 
custom,  and,  learning  De  Courcy 'a  whereabouts, 
came  down  upon  him  as  he  was  walking  medi- 
tatively in  the  churchyard  of  Down,  and  with  an 
"  u<;Iy  rtifth  "  made  the  warrior  his  prisoner. 

When  it  suited  high  and  mighty  personages  to 
desecrate  holy  places  or  times,  they  hatl  little  sempk 
in  doing  so.  One  instance  is  furnished  by  that 
very  strong-minded  woman,   Queen  Fredegonde. 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


Pra?tcxtatu8,  Bishop  of  Roueti,  hud  the  ill-fortiiDe 
to  dLsplease  this  Ijvdy  by  his  bold  outspoke dh ess, 
and  he  BuffeTed  ftccordiogly.  He  was  not  iner^ely 
no  longer  invited  to  court,  he  was  slabbed  in  his 
catbedrnl  at  high  ma»s  on  K'ister  Day — a  warnings, 
it  waa  declared,  to  &ucb  of  his  bi-efchren  as  inight 
be  inclirned  to  take  an  eqiitilly  audacioua  tone. 
•  Comparinij  some  of  the  above  older  examples 

with  those  showing  how  this  Beaton  is  at  present 
observed  J  there  are  persona  who  might  be  dis- 
poaed  to  think  that  riding  donkeys  on  Hamp- 
atead,  or  any  other,  Heath,  is  a  lesis  censurable 
obaerrance  than  hunting  down  Jews  for  the  pur* 
pofle  of  flogging  them  through  cuthednda.  But 
such  persons  may  be  reminded  of  what  Archbishop 
Whately  maintained,  namely,  that  bad  examples 
do  the  greatest  amount  of  evil  among  those  that 
do  not  follow  them.  ** For  one"  says  the  Arch- 
bishop, "  who  is  corrupted  hy  beconung  as  bud  as 
a  bad  example,  there  are  ten  that  are  debased  by 
becoming  conttnt  with  being  hdtrt."  In  which 
fiuiying  there  is  much  wisdom,  but  Dr.  Watts  tJikes 
a  different  view  of  the  mutter.  Ed. 


CHRONOLOGY  OP  ENGLISH, 

With  the  editor's  permission,  I  propose  to  con- 
tribute, occasiouallyj  some  remarks  on  the  chrono- 
logy of  English,  not  by  way  of  proposing  anything 
new,  but  nf  tabulating  what  is  old,  in  a  more 
accessible  form  than  heretofore.  Oar  etymology  isi, 
perhaps,  in  want  mther  of  a  Kepler  than  a  Newton. 

One  of  the  most  import^^nt  matters  ia  the  d^ite 
of  the  introduction  of  French  words.  Dr.  Morris 
has  given  us  a  n^ost  important  list  of  words  intro- 
duced into  English  from  French  before  a.d.  I3(>0, 
at  p.  H37  of  his  Hutorical  ihtlHna  of  Euglish 
Accidenrej  but  I  find  it  wants  to  be  recast  into  an 
alphabetical  form  before  it  can  be  cnaily  tised.  I 
now  attempt  a  tirst  instalment  of  such  work^  in  a 
form  that  aeems  to  me  more  convenient. 

Lid  J.— French  words  in  the  Saxon  Oironichj 
with  their  dates  (I  have  vorificd  both  spellings  and 
dates,  and  added  the  modern  forma): — 

CunteBso  (counte»i),  1140.  Curt  (a  court),  1154. 
Dubbad«  (dubbed  aa  a  knij^ht),  10^.  Emperice  (em- 
preif),  1140.  Itiatise  (Jugtice),  1137,  Mirttoles,  1137. 
Pais  dicACtf^,  1135,  Prisun  (priirun),  1137.  Priitiligiej 
(privileKC!*).  1137.  Proceeiiiun,  IIM.  R^Titca  (renit  ff 
lands),  11S7.  SUDtlard,  1138.  TreBor  (treaaore),  1137. 
Tur  (tower),  IHtJ. 

I  am  surprised  to  find  that  Dr.  MorriH  has 
omitted  the  word  ehm-itif.  This  occurs,  in  the  true 
Old  French  form,  viz.  carikdj  hi  1137.  It  ought 
decidedly  to  be  included  in  the  list ;  bo  ought 
serjla  (service),  m70.  Itejjeated  in  the  shortest 
form,  we  here  have  authority  for  these  words  :— 

Chirlty,  countopf),  court,  dub,  emprcas,  justice,  mirncle, 
peace,  prisow,  priTilege,  proceiiioD,  rent,  service,  bUo- 
dard,  treasure,  tuwcr.

lia,  ed.  Morris,  First  Serie.^.  This  volnme  con- 
tains several  pieces,  and  the  lists  of  French  words 
in  each  are  given  separately  by  Dr.  Morris.  For 
convenience,  I  throw  all  into  one  list,  with  symbol* 
to  give  the  references,  which  are  to  the  ;w^»of 
the  volume.  The  pieces  are  : — "Lambeth  Homi-

Lady/'  Llif,;  "A  Lofsong  of  our  Lord, 
"  Soul's  Ward,"  s.  -lo. ;  '*  Wooing  of  our  Lot 

The  words  are  these,  omitting  some   u 
shall    discuss    afterwards.      I  have   veritic.i    nir

LORD  CHAND03  AND  "HOBvE  SUBSBCIV^.'* 
In  1620  Edward  Blount,  the  well-known  book- 
seller of  St.  Paul's  Churchyard,  published  a  amall 
volume,  entitled  Horm  Subsecivce;  ObtervatitmM 
and  DisconrHt.  In  a  prefatory  address  to  the 
render  Blount  aays  :— 

"The  Author  of  thii  Booke  I  know  not;  but  by 
cbance  hearing  that  &  friend  of  mine  Im^  some  »«cfa 

fapers  in  his  hand,  and  having  beard  tbcm  cora^mended, 
wa«  curious  to  see  and  rt^nde  tbem  orer :  and  in  my 
opinion  (which  wns  also  confirmed  by  others,  judicious 
and  learned)  guppogcd,  if  I  could  get  the  Oopie,  tbey 
would  be  welcome  abroad.  My  friend'* courtesie  bestowed 
it  freely  upon  me,  and  my  endpavour  to  give  you  con- 
tentment, caused  mee  to  put  it  in  print.  And  therefore 
to  keep  Decorum,  and  follow  custome,  in  default  of  the 
Authors  apparance,  I  present  it  to  you  with  this  abort 
Epistle." 

and  ends  with  the  following  invitation  : — 

"  If  the  Booke  pk^ae  ynu,como  home  to  mv  Shop,  you 
■hall  have  it  hoiund  ready  to  your  hand^  where  in  the 
mean  time  I  expect  you,  and  rcmaine 

^' At  your  command 

"Ep.  Blount." 
Horace    Walpolcj    in    hia    Royal    and    Nohle 
AnthoTEj  attributes   the    book  to    Grey  Bridgea, 
Lord  Chandos,  known  ua  the  "  King  of  CotswoTd," 
and  a  prominent  meiaber  of  the  Essex  purty  : — 

''  I  mention  him  aa  an  author  with  f^reat  diffidence^r 
having  no  other  grounds  for  it  thun  the  po«<*eBiion  of  a 
copy  of  the  ifora  Subs^^civa,  in  the  first  leaf  of  which  ia 
written,  '  By  Lord  ChaDdois.' " 

A.  Wood  mentions  the  book  incidentally  in  the- 
AtheniE  ( }xonUnsc«.9,nd  states  that  it  was  written 
by  Gilbert  Lord  Uavendish,  who  died  in  1625. 
Malone  controverted  thi3  opinion,  but  inclined  to 
the  belief  that  it  might  have  been  written,  by 
William,  the  brother  of  Gilbert. 

Sir  EgertOD  Brydges  has  an  article  upon  the 
book  in  the  Cmtura  Lit^aria^  and,  xealous  for  ' 
the  honour  of  his  family,  was  naturally  in  favour 
of  the  Chandos  theory.  He  brings,  however,  no- 
evidence  upon  the  subject,  and  simply  ur^es  the 
improbability  th.it  so  young  a  man  as  Cavendish 
could  have  had  the  experience  and  knowledge 
of  the  world  displayed  in  the  work. 

So  far,  therefore,  aa  the  externiil  evidence  goes, 
the  question  lies  between  Horace  Walpole's  anony- 
uious  annotator  and  the  painstaking  Anthony 
Wood.  Walpole's  copy  of  the  Horir  Snbt(<:ivw  is 
now  in  my  possession,  and  I  find  the  inscription 
is  of  much  later  date  than  the  book,  written  pro- 
bably about  the  time  of  the  Restoration.  The 
binding  is  of  the  same  period,  and  the  book  is 
labelled  Ld  Shandaii  l}ucourset. 

Onvs  of  the  ess^iys  contains  an  interesting  descrip- 
tion of  a  visit  to  Rome,  and  some  gossip  about  the 
election  of  the  Pope  (P»ul  V.),  ao  that  it  must 
have  been  written  after  ItiOa, 

Can  any  of  your  readers  throw  any  light  upou 
the  authorship  of  this  work  1  I  send  you,  as  a 
speciiuen  of  the  writer's  style,  his  pictuc*  <iC  ^\ifc

NEGLECT  OF  HISTORICAL  EVIDENCE  IN  ETY- 
MOLOGY, 
Prof*  Max  Muller,  io  his  fourth  volume  of  Chlpfi 
from  a  German  WorL^hop,  p.  478,  cites  the  treat- 
ment of  the  word  phm^e^  in  my  Dktionary  of 
Eriqluh  Etymohgyj  &s  an  inRtjiiice  of  the  '^'disregard 
of  historical  fttcts  with  wliich  tbe  onoiDntOfwvic 
ichool  has  been  bo  frequently  and  so  justly  charged." 
But  I  think  thiit  a  comparison  of  his  derivation 
and  mine  will  show  that  the  neglect  of  established 
fact  is  not  on  my  side.  I  suppose  the  word  to  be 
derived  from  representations  of  the  sound  made 
by  the  fall  of  a  heavy  body,  especially  into  wuter. 
Such  repreBentations  are  very  numerous.  Gaelic 
pluh^  pliimby  plum;  G,  pluwp^  plumpf^  plumps 
(SchmeOer)  ;  ^w.plunu;  G.  pJavz,  plotz,  plaUeh^ 
pJamch  (Sanders)  ;  Bohemian  fii^fi»(^  (Pulkovitsch). 
The  Gtielic  forms  here  cited  nrc  used  to  signify  as 
well  the  sound  made  by  falling  into  water,  aa  the 
act  of  failing  in  with  the  sound  so  represented 
(Macleod),  And  in  Swedish  plumpdy  G,  plumpcn, 
SwJ&splumpKcnypliimtaif  or  when  in  English  we 
speak  of  plumpinfj  into  water,  there  ie  a  conscious 
refereooe  to  the  sound  plump  !  by  which  the  plunge 
ifl  accompanied.  Plumpicn^  plum^erij  are  specially 
^plied  to  BphBhing  or  beatiog  the  water  with  a 


broad-ended  pole  (plnmp-lcvh)  in  order  to  Crigl 
the  fish  into  a  net.  Now  the  sound  of  a  final 
nify  is  easily  confounded  with  that  of  nl*,  iwU,  a*, 
as  is  seen  in  dialectic  Swedish  pumTnsa^  puniutt 
to  splash,  tramp  in  wet  ;  plummjtaf  plunnmf 
pldnm^  to  fall  into  water,  to  tramp  in  wet.  Thm 
the  G.  plumpiicn  is  connected  with  Bwim  Waal' 
schen,  to  sound  like  a  compact  body  fallini^  into 
water,  to  plunge  Into  water  with  sack  a  nnia ; 
Lettish  plunttehi%  to  »phiah  or  paddJe  in  witci: 
Danish  pttmdsef  to  splash,  and  specially  to  beil 
the  water  in  order  to  frighten  fish.  The  latlfr 
form  is  pnictically  identical  with  E.  hlun^  naA 
in  the  Potteries  for>  stirring  up  liquid  clay  ill 
water  with  a  plunger  (corresponding  to  the  Q. 
jdump-keuU)  composed  of  a  short  board  iast«od 
on  the  end  of  a  poic.  It  would  be  singular  9 
forms  like  the  foregoing  plunnsa^  pluT^te^  pi^tit*' 
gchot^  hhintsdien^  blunge,  could  be  radiciuly  di«tii!i| 
from  Fr.  plonger^  with  which  they  agree  so  cl 
both  in  sound  and  sense.  But  these 
forms^  might  also  be  attained  byn 
the  imitative  ploiZj  analogous  to  pla 
cited  (whence  planscheny  to  splash),  as 
with  platsck ;  and  this  is  the  line  of 
indicated  id  my  dictionary,  citing  Du. 
or  plojissm  in*  t  traifr,  to  plunge  into 
Klliam  The  apparent  probability  of  the  d 
tion  is  admitted  by  Midler,  but' any  refereortl 
an  imitative  source  is  an  abomination  to  him; 
be  dechires  authoritatively  that  the  word  b 
from  what  Littre  calls  a  non-Ltiiin  plu 
signifying  to  fall  downright  like  a  plummet, 
out  adducing  a  tittle  of  evidence  that  such  a 
was  ever  in  actual  use.  The  forms  cited  " 
in  support  of  pinmbicare  may  quite  as  well 
plained  on  the  other  principle.  The  same  i 
in  Walloon  speech,  which  converts  Lat.fi 
into  phnCf  would  acccount  for  the  chaojQt  of 
pliiinptu  to  WalL|>;o7jXt?',  to  plunge.  On  iht 
hand,  the  il^^Ma  pluh^  phLinh^  plumy  tho^

soil,  making  it  probable  that  Languedoc

of  the  year  1633  that  thia  pastoral  waa 
Court,  as  wo  learn  from  the  following 
>tioea.     In  a  letter,  dated  Jan.  3,  1632-3 
Ckarle*  J,,  iL  212),  the  writer  says  :— 


«  On  Wednesday  next  the  Qneen'i  pMtoral  t«  to  be 
acted  in  the  lower  court  of  I>£itmark  Hotisc  [Somerset 
UouHo],  Rud  my  lurd  chatnberlain  Mitb  tb&t  no  chamber-

inferior  lady  or  woman  sball  be  let  iti^  but  vuch  an  hftve 
extreme  brnTe  upparcl,  and  bettor  facei»." 

In  a  letter  of  Jam  10,  1632-3  {ibid,  215),  we 
read  : — 

*'  This  ni};ht  oar  Queen  hnlh  acted  her  CAstly  pastoral 
in  Fomerset  House,  which  hath  lasted  seven  or  eight 
houra." 

In  Sir  Henry  Herbert's  Office  Book,  we  find, 
under  the  year  1633-4  :— 

"  On  Monday  night,  Jan.  6.  on  the  Twelfe  Night  was 
preB«Qtedj,  at  Denmarlc  House,  before  the  King  and 
Qoeene,  Fletcher's  pastoral  c  died  The  Faithful  Shep- 
f^ardni.  in  the  clothes  (the  Queene  had  gtvon  Taylor  the 
year  before)  of  her  owne  paataral." 

It  w^B  not  until  aixteen  yenn  after  the  perfor- 
mance of  r/i<  ShqtJurd's  Parnditt  that  it  waa 
given  to  the  world  itn  print.  It  appeared,  an  I 
have  said,  in  104n,  "  under  the  editorship  of  on 
individual  who  revealed  himself  no  further  than 
by  the  initials  T.  D,"  These  are  the  words  of  tlie 
editor  of  Court  and  i^wiHy,  but  there  is  no  mys- 
tery aa  regards  the  letters— they  are  the  initials 
of  the  printer,  "Thomas  Dring." 

In  putting  forth  this  play  to  the  public,  after 
so  many  year^  of  slumber,  the  stationer  thinks  it 
necessary  to  say  a  few  words  to  the  reiuier.  He' 
ia  very  tonaciouB  that  the  work  should  be  appre- 
ciated, and  says  that  he  is  "  uncapaUe  to  contrive 
an  ornament  beyond  the  noble  name  of  the  ad- 
mired author,"  He  goes  on  :  **  W^hen  I  have  once 
intituled  it  to  Mr.  Walter  Montagn,  and  assured 
it  genuine,  I  conceive  the  exprestsion  imports  an 
Elogie  above  the  designc  and  reach  of  the  most 
alluring  commendation." 

The  address  is  remarkable  for  the  use  of  a  cer- 
tain phrase  which  has  been  considered  to  be  mo- 
dern slang.  We  have  all  beard  of  a  person  being 
told  '*to  act  upon  the  square/*  The  writer  here 
tells  us  that,  in  order  to  understand  the  "inspired" 
part  of  the  play,  those  who  peruse  it  must  "read 
upon  the  square,"— that  is,  I  suppose,  give  it  all 
their  attention,— **  others  will  find  themselves  un- 
deceived," Thus  the  supposed  slang  phrase  ia 
good  old  English,  returned  to  us  by  our  American 
cousins,  after  having  hteen  preserved  by  them  for 
centuries. 

As  to  the  pky  itself,  I  do  not  intend  to  trouble 
my  readers  with  any  comments  upon  its  merita, 
being  quite  unable  to  follow  good  old  Thomas 
Dring's  advice  of  reading  it  "  upon  the  Bqnare,"* 
Further,  sheltering  myself  with  the  words  of  Lang- 
baine  : — 

**  I  shall  not  be  so  prcftumptuom  to  criticise  on  a  play 
winch  hai  been  made  sacred  by  the  protection  of  Ma-

-COMIXO  THROUOU  THE  RYB." 
(5"^S.  r.  87,  116,  15t*,  191.) 
Mbu  Wm.  Chappkll  has  so  exact  and  so  exten- 
%  knowledge  of  everything  relating  to  national 
lody,  that  it  is  seldom  any  one  can  point  out  to 


him  an  overlooked  fact.  In  writing  of  the  above^ 
named  air^  he  has  supposerl  that  it  is  to  be  found 
in  Johnson's  Mxucnm  for  the  hrst  time  as  No.  417. 
Now,  if  he  will  turn  to  No.  306  of  Johnson's 
fourth*  volume,  he  will  lind  an  air  allied  "I've 
been  courting'  at  a  lass,'  which  ia  evidently  not 
only  the  prototype,  but  has  all  the  distinguishing 
phrases,  of  **  Coming  thro'  the  ne,"  In  fact*  we 
nave  here  an  example  of  an  economical  habit  pot*- 
sessed  by  our  forefathers  of  turning  one  air  into 
two,  and  making  it  do  duty  for  several  songs,  by 
merely  altering  a  few  notes  in  it.  As  David  Herd 
published  this  song,  "  I  've  been  courting/'  is 
1776,  and  Johnson  gave  the  air  in  1792,  it  ia  cleat 
that  Sanderson  could  not  have  compo4<ed  it  in  17D5, 
but  must  have  adapted  it  in  the  manner  usual 
with  those  who  string  together  pantomime  music, 
laying  hold  of  any  air  that  is  popular  and  easily 
caught  up.  Indeed,  as  Sanderson  is  a  commoa 
name  in  Scotland,  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  in 
this  C4i>8e  be  may  have  merely  made  use  of  one  of  the 
well-known  aire  of  his  own  country. 

Tocomenowto  "Auld  Lang  Syne,"  Mb.  Chappell 
ia  scarcely  con-ect  in  saying  that  George  Thomson 
adaptini  Burna's  song  to  **  Coniin'  thro'  the  rye," 
for,  although  llmt  iiir  bears  a  considerable  resem- 
blance to  what  we  now  call  **Auld  Lang  Syne," 
yet  the  air,  No,  ZWl  of  Johnson's  fourth  volume, 
willed  "0  can  ye  labor  leal"  is  still  more  like, 
indeed,  may  be  said  to  be  identical,  differing  as 
it  does  in  two  or  three  notes  only  from  our  present 
air.  If  I  might  be  allowed  to  go  still  further  into 
detail,  I  would  point  out  that  the  genealogy  or 
evolution  of  oar  modem  air  may  be  given  thus: — 
1st.  The  old  tune  for  which  AU^  Hamsay 
wrote  his  words  in  !724,  given  in  Johnson,  vol  i^ 
No»  26,  and  also,  I  think,  in  the  OryhenM  CaU- 
donius,  1725  (not  having  the  volume  at  hand^  I 
quote  from  memory). 

2nd,  Tlie  preceding  air  considerably  altered, 
but  still  having  the  old  ring  about  it,  being 
No,  413  of  Johnson,  vol.  v.,  joined  to  Burns's 
words. 

3rd.  The  last  air  again  altered,  and  now  aaaum- 
ing  the  modem  fomj,  Johnson,  vol.  iv..  No.  394, 
joined  to  the  words,  "  O  can  ye  labor  lea,  young 
man  i " 

4th,  The  modem  air  scarcely  altered  from  the 
preceding,  and  now  secure  from  all  the  viciasitudea 
of  oral  tradition. 

Before  concluding,  may  I  bo  allowed  to  aay  a 
few  words  for  James  Johnaon,  the  engraver  and 
pnblisher  of  the  SeoU  Mufiml  Mnuum  f  He  ia 
continually  being  chajRcd  with  the  enormity  of 
hjiving  included  many  English  airs  in  hia  volumea, 
and  especially  in  the  Virat.  Now  the  poor  man  baa 
been  the  victim  of  a  very  common  misfortune 
He  wrote  a  preface,  which  no  one  seems  to  have 
taken  th«  trouble  to  read.  In  it  he  eTplaina  that

to  a  HI  oil  Dt  to  about  twenty  out  of  the  hundred

they  are  usually  mere  imitations  of  the  Scottish

maa  would  be  sorry  to  put  his  name  to.  I  say

As  to  Stenhouse,  the  annotator  of  Johnson,  I 
give  him  over  to  Mil  Chapp ell's  virtuous  indigna- 
tioD.  He  seems  to  have  "  loved  Scothmd  better 
than  truth,"  to  use  Dr,  Johnson's  pithy  remark, 
and  did  not  hei*itate  to  draw  on  his  imagination 
when  fact»  failed  him  in  claiming  either  verses  or 
muaie  for  his  countrj'.  At  the  same  time,  it  must 
be  conceded  that  he  was  a  most  painstaking  eol- 
lector,  and,  where  there  is  no  question  of  nationality , 
is  usually  trustworthy.  He  has  certainly  gathered 
together  an  enormous  mass  of  curious  information, 
which,  but  for  him,  must  have  been  altogether  lost 
to  the  present  generation.  His  errors  litemry 
have  in  most  cases  been  pointed  out  by  Mr.  David 
Laing,  in  additional  notes  to  Johnson j  and  errors

My  first  communication  on  this  subject  was 
written  before  Mr.  Wm.  Chappell's  early  answer 
was  in  type,  otherwise  I  ehoiild  not  have  deemed 
it  necessary  to  aay  anything  when  so  thoroughly 
competent  an  authority  came  forward.  Than  Dn. 
E.  RiMBAULT  and  Mr.  Wm.  Chapfell  we  poaseas 
no  more  absolutely  trustworthy  and  well-read 
lovers  of  song.  Pmise  from  such  men  as  these  ia 
moat  valuable.  My  reference,  on  p.  151,  to  Ma. 
Chappsll's  original  statement  was  limited,  neces- 
sarily, to  hia  invaluable  Popular  Musk  o/  tJie 
Oldtn  Time.  A  close  study  of  this  book  during 
many  years  has  confirmed  my  opinion  that  in 
accuracy  it  is  almost  faultlesis.  Later  workers  may 
be  able  to  supplement  its  information,  but  they 
can  rarely  need  to  contradict  its  jissertions  or 
impeach  its  testimony.  So  much  let  me  say,  in 
passing,  in  simple  truth.     Now,  as  to  the  song.

ind  a  cutting  from  a  Saturday  litrieic 
Ive  yeai^  ago,  which  I  think,  in  a  some- 
;ed  form,  is  worthy  of  being  embalmed

that  she  w>8  tall,  we  may  Tenture  to  ony  thut  we  have  a 
notion  that  ihe  was  not  khcrt.  No  poet  or  novelist  that 
we  remember  hai  ever  entered  upon  the  i]uentittu  how 
intjcb  a  beroine  ouKht  to  weigh.  But  we  do  iiut  ibiiik 
tbnt  a  lady  of  sufficiently  impoaiaa  nepect  eould  tc  under

attempted,  the  pursuer*  would  have  been  armed  and

far  the  race  would  hare  been,  to  use  tporttne  language, 
at  even  weif^hts ;  but  tbe  Templar's  horse,  besides  the 
Templar,  bis  amii  and  armour,  would  have  had  to  carry, 
by  way  of  penalty,  Rebecca.  Neither  the  '  exquisite

were  to  try  to  do  this,  I  shouUl  probably  have  to 
rt'peat  muth  thrifc   correspondents  haTe   said    al- 
ready ;  and,  besides,  I  nm  afraid  of  rt  under  the 
cyw  of  the  JIidplk  Templar  par  txcdhiicc^  and 
all  the  oilier  Middle  and  Inner  Templars,  to  siiy 
nothing  of  the  Lincoln's  lun  and  Gray's  Inn  men, 
who  are  no  doubt  ftuiong  "  N.  &  <^/s  "  readers. 
But  my  owrn  opinion  Is  that  no  reason  can  exist  to 
justify  such  a  suramaty  pimifhment  in  this  ca^e  of 
eaTesdropping  any  more  than  in  any  other.    As  I 
am  not  a  lawyer,  so  also  am  I  not  a  Mason  ;  but 
still  a  few  words  may  be  said  on  the  general  bear- 
inga  of  the  subject.     First,  it  is  plain  enoufjh  that, 
if  the  poor  lady  had  been  killed,  it  would  hiiTo 
been  not  f^Iinply  because  she  had  orcrhcard  the 
proceedini;:^  of  the  lodge,  but  because  she  had  dis- 
covered, or  was  Bupposcd  to  have  discovered,  some- 
thing which  the  Mnaons  wished  to  keep  secret. 
"Whether  there  be  a  Masonic  secret,  or  what  it  is, 
or  why  Masons  wish  to  preserve  it^theae  are  three 
question?  far  too  high  and  difficult  for  me  to  enter 
uiwn.    The  first,  of  course,  non-Masons  must  aa- 
8ume  in  sirguinjr  on  this  matter  at  all ;  the  second 
is  not  much  to  the  purpose  ;  and  the  third,  though 
it  would  be  pertinent  enough  in  the  particular 
inquiry    I   mentioned,   is   not   necessary  in  this 
general  one.    Now  if  a  body  of  men  meet  together, 
and  choose  to  keep  their  doings  a  secret,  they  are 
bound  to  take  all  precautions  to  that  end*      If 
they  proceed  without  such  preeautionf,  it  is  at 
their  own  risk  ;  and  if  they  are  discovered,  they 
have  no  right  to  punish  the  discoverer  for  their 
own  fault.     If  they  take  the  precaution*!,  and  are 
discovered  in  apite  of  them,  they  may  use  such 
xmthority  as  they  have  over  the  discoverer  ;  hut 
they  must  not  exceed  it  any  more  than  any  other 
man  may.     And  I  think  I  may  safely  say  that 
there  is  no  law  giving  Freenmaong  any  greater 
authority  than  other  men  in  such  mattere,  far  less 
(though  Mil  Wilkinson  strangely  seems  to  think 
this  at  legist  conceivable)  any  power  to  kill  on  the 
spot  an  in  trader  on  their  lodfjea.     Therefore  I 
firmly  believe  that,  if  the  lady  hnd  been  killed, 
the  deed  would  have  been  a  miinler,  and  a  verj' 
foul  murder  too  ;    though  most  likely  it   would 
have  been  extremely  difficult  to  nbtain  a  conviction 
for  it.     This  i&  just  one-  of  the  cases  where  one 
wishes  for  a  despotic  monarchy  who,  if  he  could 
not  find  the  murderers,  would  hnvc*  hanged  the 
whole  lodge  from  warden  to  doorkeeper,  tind  served 
them  right  too.     The  la<?y  in  question  is  said  to 
liave  been  the   Hon.  Elizabetli  St.  Leger  (after- 
wards   Mrs.  Aldworth),  daughter  of  the  first^Vis- 
count  Donexaile  (be  died  1727Xand  the  storv*may 
be  found  at  full  length  in  Sir  Bernard  Burke's 
AniciUk*  of  iht  Aristocracy.     The    matter  was 
compromised,  as  Mr.  Wilkinson  calls  it,  by  the 
imploring  of  the  lady's  brother,  who  was  fortunately 
in  the  lodge,  on  condition  that  she   should   be 
imtmted  aa  a  Hason,  which  was  actually  done.   If 


I  rememl»er  the  story  right  as  8ir  Bernard  I^IU  ft, 
Lord  Doneraile  himself  was  warden  at  tb«ttiTDK; 
but  whether  ho  also  consented,  or  would  hare  coo- 
sen  ted,  to  his  daughter's  murder,  Six  Bcrawd 
wisely  abstains  from  saying.

"  Occasion ALLT  "  (5*^  8.  v,  226.)— The  wculiar 
meaning  of  this  adverb,  noted  by  Mr.  T«»MLfN- 
soir,  wotild  aeem  to  come  naturally  from  that  of 
the  noun  occasiQiif  in  its  ordinary  sense  of  *'  favour* 
able  time,"  "opportunity,"  hence  *^ convenience," 
Thus  Cicero  defines  occasio  as  "tempus  actionia 
opportunum,  Gnece  €vKatpia^^*  and  sueh  a  phraso 
as  '*  I  can  do  it  occofionally  "  ought  to  be  c^ipablo 
of  meaning  "  I  can  do  it  conveniently"  But  ocew- 
nofif  by  its  derivation  from  cadtTe,  means  *'a 
falling  out,"  "accident,"  "occurrence,"  hence  some- 
thing that  happens  only  now  and  Uien;  and  it  is 
to  this  sense  that  occ^Honal  and  occasionally 
appear  to  be  confined.  Milton,  indeed,  in  P.  L, 
viii.  555,  speaks  of  P3ve  as  not  having  been  "after 
made  otca^tonallyt^  i.e.  merely  to  suit  a  particular 
need  or  occation ;  but  this  is  not  quite  whiit  wo 
want,  and,  moreover,  Milton's  use  of  words  derived 
from  the  Latin  is  no  evidence  that  they  were  so 
used  commonly  in  his  own  day.  Perhaps  some 
correspondent  can  supply  instances  of  the  word  in 
questioti  being  used  by  EngUuh  authors  in  the 
gen»e  in  which  Mr.  Tomlinson's  note  shows  that 
it  is  still  current  in  Yorkshire.    C.  S.  Jerrax.

similar  to  that  noted  by  W.  M.  M.  existed  not 
many  yetirs  ago  at  Beckinffton,  Somersetshire.  The 
children  used  to  join  hands  and  dance  around  the 
church,  shouting,  but  I  do  not  think  that  trumpets 
were  used.  The  custom  was  called  "  clipping  (i.e. 
cmbraciatj)  the  church."  The  only  explanation 
which  I  have  ever  heard  suggested  of  its  meaning 
is  that  it  was  to  show  that,  at  the  comraeucement 
of  Lent,  religion  was  to  be  embmced.

"the  blackamith.*'  After  Mb  death,  David  L;ung 
succeeded  hira  both  in  his  title  and  occupation. 
Paisley  \iras  first  a  smuggler,  then  a  tobacconist, 
4ind  lastly  a  **  parson,"  Laing  appears  to  have 
l:>een  a  pedler.  In  the  celebrated  trial  of  E.  G. 
and  W.  Wakefield  in  1827,  Laing  was  severely 
cross -examined  by  Henry  Brougham  thus: 
"  Brougham.  What  were  you  t—Laimj.  Why,  I

history  of  every  church  id  the  hundred  of  Scars- 
dttle,  ft  good  idea  of  what  each  edifice  wus  in  ita 
original  condition,  and  not  only  a  lively  descrip- 
tion of  what  the  build in^  has  come  to,  but  admir- 
able illustrations  of  their  beauty,  in  ruins  or 
renovated.  Turning  to  the  text  and  pictorial 
illustrations  of  the  rectory  of  Whitwell  and  the 
chsipelry  of  Steelley,  to  which  Mr,  Cox  referred 
in  *'  N.  &  Q.,"  B3  noted  above,  we  find  him  speak- 
in^sharply  of  a  piscina  in  Whitwell  Church,  *'  some- 
Trhat  mutilated,  haviof?  been  barbarously  levelled 
with  the  wall,  to  make  room  for  a  pew-back." 
There  is  here  a  quaint  eptH;r:im  (162;})  on  Toby 
Waterhouse,  "aged  foureyeares  andsiven  moneths, 
full  of  grace  and  truth e^  as  a  vessel  not  as  ye 
fountaine, 

•*  Both  life  and  grace,  in  the  ■weet  babe,  in  piraleUi 
run  on, 
When  Kudd.«!n  iletiihe  did  seeme  to  make  their  pomtei 

to  meet  in  one  ; 
But  then  on  tlice  did  life  and  Kmre  thy  pntralells  attend, 
Whose  eqanll  length  keeps  equil  breudth  (low  nefer 
meet  lior  end," 

There  is  another   epitaph  on  a   "  right  noble, 
learned^  and    religious   knight,  Roger  Manners," 
1(332,  in  which  we  are  told, — 
'*  A  living  &<:«demitt  woa  thin  knit^ht, 
DiriDitjT,  tho  »rt«,  tlie  bonKS,  wh&t  raig:ht 
Jn  ]«ftriied  Sohooles  exiMStly  be  profetC, 
Tcwke  up  theirfi  lodgingii  in  bis  nobte  breat, 
Till  death,  like  church  diitpoiterSr  did  pull  down 
MattAers'  true  fiibnque  and  tlie  ftrta'  rcnowiie." 

The  heliotype  pictures  of  the  chapel  «t  Steetley 
fully  corroborate  what  Mr.  Cox  said  of  it  in  our 
last  volume.  He  gives  an  "Interior  Eiist,"  and 
the  "Chancel  Arch,  North."  They  ate  bimply 
exquisite.  This  gcra  he  assigns  to  the  reigo  of 
Stephen,  and  apeuks  of  it  as  *'  one  of  the  most 
complete  and  berwtiful  specimens  of  Norman 
work,  on  a  small  sctile,  that  can  be  met  with  any- 
where in  this  country  or  in  Normandy."  In  IGDS, 
Be  la  Prynne  wrote  in  hist  Diary  of  this  once 
masterpiece  of  beauty  ns— "  A  ataitly,  well-built 
chapel,  all  arched  roofed,  excellently  enambled 
and  gilt  :  the  lead  that  covered  the  same  ia  ;ill 
stolen  away,  so  that  the  weather  begins  to  pierce 
throujjh  its  fine  roof,  to  its  utter  dec^iyintf,"  The 
roof  doea  not  seem  to  have  gone  in  17-42,  when 
Bishop  Littleton  visited  it,  and  wrote  of  it  :  "  The 
roof  is  supported  by  straight  pillars  with  springing 
arches  from  each  of  them,  that  nuiet  in  the  centre," 
But  the  ancient  chapel  was  then  a  barn,  and,  says 
the  biwhop,  ^'  the  whole  is  an  uncommon  structure." 
In  the  hist  half  of  the  last  century,  the  chancel  was 
used  as  it  shelter  for  sheep,  and  the  yard  as  a  fold, 
by  the  farmer  on  whose  fara»,  held  from  the  Buke 
of  Nwfolk,  the  beautiful  ruin  stood.  On  digging 
up  the  land  in  the  chapiel  yard,  a  jar  was  found, 
containing  coins  in  a  paper,* on  which  vfus  WTttten, 
*'  Rather  the  devd  than  Oliver.^'  The  nave  bus 
had  no  covering  for  above  a  century,  but,  itccord- 


ing  to  one  of  Lysons's  platea  (1817),  tlie  cbucel 
was  tiled,  with  a  gable  roof.     About   183:^  t>- 
Earl  of  Surrey,  afterwards  Duke  of  Norfci: 
built   the    ruined  apse.      In    1873    the    lii..^ 
Archaeological     Aasociation      reoommeoided    tlw     | 
covering  in  of  the  remainder  of  I  he   chapel,  to    J 
preserve  it   from  further   decay.      When,  in  Uil 
October,  the  Rector  of  Whitwell,  the  R^jv.  Mr, 
Mason,  and  his  curate,  tho    Rev.  Mr.   Townesd, 
celebrated  divine  service  in  the  roofless  slnicdlR^ 
it  was  preparatory  to  a  meeting  at  which  resold" 
tiona  were  passed  that  the  chapel  should  be  \wh 
chased  from  the  trustees  of  the  private  propriety 
the  Duke  of  Newcastle,  and  that  the  ruin  ahooB 
be  properly  ftdaptcd  for  a  permanent  perfoi 
of  worship.     This  appeare  to  be  now  in  oouri$( 
being   satisfactorily  accomplished,  and    the: 
ends  one  of  the  most  interesting  episodes 
volume,  every  pace  of  which  illustrates  the  « 
siastical  and  social  histK>ry  of  the  piclraresque  s 
of  Derby.

gPEARE  AND  THE  LAW  OF  FINES  AND

hen    y\.  Act,  i.  ic,  2. 
**  Tbjui  wnplj  to  'mharrc  tLcir  crooked  titles" 

Jhid. 

I  wish  to  offer  Ihc  fiuggefliiuo  that  tm  allusion 
these  ancient  ossumnc^a  will  illiiatmto  both 
5ibfrve  prt-ssag^es  in  the  speech  of  the  Arch- 
'.f  Cinterbury.  in  which  he  maintains  a 
' I  bistorical  argument  on  the  rival  claima 
«o  tit*/  French  crown,  aa  affected  by  the  Salique 
1%"W  excluding  claims  through  femfiks. 

TTie  Act  for  the  Abolition  of  Fines  and  Keco- 
nnd  the  aubBlitution  of  raore  simple  modes 

.   ff^iia  passed  iu  the  year  1833.     Since 

pi^kctical  knowled^'e  of  the  hiw  re- 
"  ^'^'^  been  kept  before  conveyancers 
decretifsing   inatoncea  in  which 
r  nwjta  of  title  ;  and  now  that  the 
^  which  titleii  have  to  be  deduced  hat 
I  .'m1  by  a  recent  act,  they  will  ce^^^^e  to 

L  learsi  aU,  and  to  the  next  generation  of  lawyers 
I  {jr  ierm«  will  be  almost  as  ot)solete  as  **  Mort- 
I  BBCCStor "  or  "  Priraereeixin.**  Whether  the 
I  Mrledge  of  the  subject  Is  already  confined  to 
I  wymtij  OT  is  a  matter  of  general  information,  is 
I  pBtat  on  which  my  own  experience  as  u  lawyer 
I    cppacststea  me  from  judging.    This  forrua  my 


difficulty  in  penntn/+  the  present  note.  If  I  am 
explaining  matters  which  ''every  schoolboy  is  sup- 
posed to  know,"  the  editor  will  have  the  reraedy 
in  hia  own  handa  :  and  if  he  allows  this  portion  of 
my  note  to  oee  the  light,  I  shall  assume  that  my 
popular  explanation  is  not  superfluoue. 

AJine  then,  which,  but  for  the  fiwt  that  there 
have  bfen  coniliatinjf  views  as  to  the  origin  of  the 
name,  I  should  have  had  no  hesitation  in  deriving 
from  the  initial  word-s  of  the  chirograph — "hiec 
eat  tinalis  concordia  " — was  an  amicable  composi- 
tion of  a  lictitious  action,  or  rather  of  a  colluBLve 
action  on  lictitious  groundi*,  by  which  one  party 
acknowled^d  on  record  the  right  of  another  to 
real  estate.  There  were  various  descriptions  of 
fines,  applicable  to  various  purposes,  and  repilated 
by  succeasive  Acts  of  Parliament  ;  but  for  our 
present  purpose  it  is  gafficient  to  notice  that,  inas- 
much  as  a  married  woraiin  could  not  part  with 
her  interest  in  land  by  deed,  but  might  be  joined 
with  her  husband  as  plaiotiff  or  defendant  in  an 
action,  and  such  action  might  be  compounded  by 
agreement,  with  the  leave  of  the  court— which  took 
aire,  by  means  of  a  private  examination  of  the 
wife,  to  a>^certatQ  that  she  was  actinn^  as  a  free 
agent  in  the  matter — a  fine  became  one  of  the  com- 
mon usaurances  of  the  realm,  by  which  married 
women  conveyed  or  extbi^qiished  their  interest*  in 
land.  If  a  man,  holding  his  estate  under  a  title 
subject  to  some  doubt  or  liiiw,  happened  to  marry 
a  woman  wlio  had  a  possible  interest  in  the  same 
estate,  the  getting  in  of  which  would  remedy  the 
defect,  the  obvious  course  would  be  for  husband 
and  wife  to  *'  levy  a  fine,-*  m  it  was  called,  and  by 
deed  to  declare  the  uses  in  favour  of  the  former, 
or  to  re-limit  the  estate  in  any  manner  which 
mi^ht  be  desired.  To  such  a  proceeding  the  Arch- 
bishop com|>ares  the  conduct  of  the  French  king  : 

"  Hugh  Capet  also,  th»t  utrurpetJ  the  crown 
Of  Charles  the  Duke  of  Lorahie,  sole  heir  tnaJo 
Of  the  true  line  and  Hti^ck  of  Charles  the  Grtot, 
ToJiRt  his  tkk  with  some  show  of  truth 
(Tliough,  in  pure  truth,  it  wus  cornipt  and  iiftn|(ht}» 
Confeyed  himself  us  heir  to  the  Lad/  Lingare,"  kc. 

That  b  to  say,  Hu^h  Capet,  knowing  that  his  title 
wits  defective,  but  being  representative  of  the  fe- 
male line  of  Charles  the  Great,  through  the  Lady 
Lingare  (who  she  was  is  a  rpiestion  worthy  of  a 
note,  but  foreign  to  the  purtwac  of  this),  availed 
himself  of  that  female  claim  to  strenj^thcn  his  own 
title,  aa  a  man  might  do  who  levied  a  fine  of  his 
wife's  estate.  If  it  shouhl  be  considered  that  an 
allusion  to  the  exceptionul  cose  I  have  imagined 
is  too  far-fetched,  I  should  still  contend  for  my 
interpretation  of  the  passage,  as  alluding,  in  more 
^eneml  terms,  to  a  fine,  as  an  expedient  for  strength- 
ening a  defective  title. 

It  is  true  that  the  phrase  "  to  fine  his  title  **  i< 
unknown  to  lawyers,  and  probably  never  was  in 
u-se  ;  but  it  is  a  not  unnatural  convemion  o€  IW

jecture  preferable  to  the  vwi*>iis  readin^^  of 
"ftnd,"  'Mine/'  "refine,"  &c.,  which  htive  been 
suggesteid  by  conniTentiitorff,  whose  liist  resource 
io  denb'ng  with  Shaksiieare's  text,  when  they  do 
not  nodcrstand  it,  is  to  let  it  alone.  In  this  instance, 
however,  sorae  of  them  bavo  the  excuse  of  the  folios, 
which  read  "  find  "  ;  but  the  c[iiarto  of  IC08  hivs 
"  fine."    The  other  two  qiuirtos  I  Imve  not  access  lo. 

The  law  «f  recoveries  will  be  found  e<iually  ap* 
plicable  to  tlie  second  of  the  passages  at  the  hej,d 
of  this  note  : — 

"  Amply  to  ivihnrre  their  crooked  titled." 
So  read  the  first  and  second  folios  ;  hnbar,  the 
third  and  fourth  ;  and  much  ink  haa  been  shed  in 
argnnienits  for  reading  it  into  something  elue,  be- 
cause the  comracntatora  did  not  underattind  the 
word.     To  a  lawyer  it  is  intelligible  enough. 

As  the  Jinc  was  the  temiination  of  a  colhiatve 
action  by  agreement  on  record,  so  the  rttoverif 
waa  a  collusive  action  carried  to  ita  natural 
conclusion  in  a  judgment  of  a  oourt  of  hiw,  I 
will  state  its  operation  as  dimply  as  possible, 
though  at  best  it  was  a  complicated  proceeding. 
The  tenant  in  tail  of  an  estate,  whuui  we  will  cull 
A.,  being  desiroua  of  defeating  the  rights  of  ])er- 
Hons  in  reranintler^  and  even  of  his  own  issue,  if 
he  had  any,  and  ticquiring  an  ahgolute  estate  in 
fee  simple,  conveyed  an  estate  of  freehold  by  an 
ordinary  deed  to  B.»  against  whom  another  con- 
federate, C,  brought  hia  action,  claiming  the  fee 
simple.  B.  appeared,  and  **  vouched  A,  to  war- 
ranty," that  is  to  «iy,  alleged  that  A.  had  w^arrant^d 
hia  title,  and  prayed  that  he  might  be  railed  upon 
to  defend  the  title  so  warranted.  A.  appeared 
accordingly^  and,  in  the  case  I  have  put  (though 
there  might  be  any  nuudier  of  vouchers  to  suit 
the  circumstanees),  vouched  to  warmoty  some 
other  person,  usually  the  crier  of  the  court,  who 
wsis  henee called  the  "common  vouchee" — a  phrase 
now  familiar  enough  in  the  mouths  of  many  who 
do  not  know  the  origin  of  it.  An  "imparlance," 
or  adjournment  far  the  purpo-se  of  conference  be- 
tween the  part  if  Sj  being  allowed,  the  common 
voncliee  disiippeared,  and  on  his?  default  judgment 
was  given  that  C,  should  recover  the  land  against 
B.,  that  B.  shotdd  recover  lands  of  equal  value 
against  A.,  and  that  A.  should  recover  Linds  of 
equai  vtdue  against  the  common  vouchee.  By 
deed,  executed  either  befctre  or  after  this  solemn 
fiirce  wo!?f  played  uut^  very  geneniliy  by  the  sarue 
deed  which  conveyed  the  freehold  estate  to  B.  as  the 
first  step  in  the  transaction,  the  uses  of  the  estate 
30  acquired  by  C,  were  dechred  in  favour  of  A,, 
or  in  any  othei"  manner  which  might  be  de^'^ired. 
In  theory  it  wtw  con  tended,  with  transparent 
sophistry,  that  no  injustice  was  done  to  the  de- 
fmuded  heir*?  in  tail,  inasmuch  aa  they  w^ould  be 
entitled,  as  their  inten^ts  arose,  to  stand  in  the 


place  of  A.,  who  had  recovered^  or  ot  lost  Itid 
judgment  to  recover,  Innds  of  equal  value  iifaiju: 
the  common  vouchee  ;  but  in  practice  it  is  obvioQ* 
that  a  gross  wrong  waa  committed,  by  an  aiitnt* 
contrivance  of  laAi-yera,  to  which  the  cout' 
tberuHelvea  in  opposition  to  tlie  feudal  p*  i 
perpetual  entail.     EventuuHy  the  legislalni 
rerogni/ed   the  evil   of  estates  being  ind^  f 
tied  up  fhmi  alienation,  and,  instead  of  restf        , 
the  abuse  of  the  process  of  the  courts,  b*;.'ilL.»o 
and  regulated  it  ;  and  a  common  recover, 
became  one   of    the  common  assumnces 
realm  for  the  purpose  of  barring  an  ei]t;i}i 
it  was    always    classed    among    those    a^asur  t  - 
which  operated  by  tort.     It  was  an  open  vmla   r 
of  the  rights  of  the  remaindermen;  and  the  .\;  ir 
bishop,   sdludjng  to   it,   intinnit^a    th.^t    Ftirh  an 
avowal  of  a  title  having  its  origin   in   tort  wc 
be  preferable  to  the  conduct    of    the    kis^ 
Frimce,  who,  he  aay«, — 

"  Enther  choose  to  hide  them  In  t  ocl 
Than  tmplir  to  indtarre  tlioif  «rookcd  title** 
I'fiurped  from  )0U  and  your  progenitors." 

And  yet,  in  the  previous  line,  he  alleges  tbi^ 
duct  to  have  the  same  wrongful  object,  wl " 
"  To  bar  your  highneas  cUtming  from  the  fe 
"Barre,"*  says  Coke,  1st  Inst,  I,  iii.  s.  TiW,  "i^i 
word  common   aa  well  to  the  English  o*  lo  ^ 
French,  of  which  cometh  the  no\m,  a  bar, 
It   signifieth  legally  a  destruction    for  ever, 
taking  awuy  for  a  time,  of  the  action  of  him  Ik 
right  hath.''  As  io  the  expression  '*  to  fine  a  til' 
ao  in  that  "  to  imbarre  a  title,"  the  langoagc 
is  ihnt  of  the  poet  rather  than  ihe  convigri 
but  it  m  fiufllclently  near  to  the  technical 
be  «L|uite  intelligible,  and,  I  submit,  prefei

that  this  gross  fraud  had  its  birth  in 
^"  Ml  lid  always  he  borne  in  mind,  aa  it  dis- 
■jre*  completely  all  the  aysertion^  that  Mrs. 
rren  had  been  recsognized  as  Printess  Olive  of 
tinlierUnd  by  Lord  Warwick  and  other  dis- 
iigiuahed  pcraons^  of  whom  it  may  be  confidently 


aaid  that  their  names  would  never  have  been 
mixed  up  with  her  pretensions,  hjal  they  not  been 
dead  and  buried  before  those  pretensions  were 
brought  forward. 

It  is  much  to  be  rejfretted  that  there  existed 
some  legal  difficulty  in  the  way  of  Mr.  Netberdift 
being  re- examined  as  to  the  authenticity  of  the 
numerous  papers  Bigned  by  Lord  V\'ar.vick.  Among 
these  LB  a  letter  of  the  highest  importance  to  tha 
case,  for  it  purports  to  be  addreaijed  to  Mrs.  Serres 
by  Lord  Warwick,  announcing  his  arriviil  at  W'ar- 
wick  Castle,  and  that  he  had  got  all  her  paper»' 
safe.  Strange  to  saiy,  this  letter  (as  I  believe)  waa.] 
produced  for  the  first  time  at  the  trial ;  for  I  am 
greatly  mistaken  if  it  is  to  be  found  in  any  of  Mrs. 
fcserres^s  mimerous  pamphlets  or  in  Mrs.  Kyves'a 
AjyjMal/or  Royalty  ;  yet,  */ genuine,  htw  importjuifc

"  I  have  enclosed  this  for  safety  to  Mr,  Parker.  Love

I  am  perfectly  convinced  that  this  letter  is  a 
rank  forgery,  fur  which  I  do  not  think  Mrs.  Serres 
can  be  held  responsible  ;  more  particularly  as  she 
has  recorded  of  Lord  Warwick's  visit  to  his  home 
in  May,  1816^  that  the  Csistle  doors  were  closed 
against  Lord  Warwick,  and  he  w:«  compelled  to 
eat  hU  dinner  in  the  greenhouse. 

It  would  perhaps  be  too  much  to  invite  Mr, 
Netberdift  to  stjite  precisely  what  he  now  think.s 
of  the  nias.^  of  what  I  may  call  the  Warwick 
Documents ;  but  if  he  believer  he  was  wrong  in 
the  view  he  took  of  them  in  1806,  he  would  be 
doing  good  service  to  the  c»uise  of  historicul  truth 
in  avowing  it,  William  J.  TiioMij.

ttith&r  was  a  porter  in  Clare  Market,  in  wUlch 
locality  our  heroine  wjvs  born.  After  being  in  ser- 
vice, she  joined  "  the  noted  Mr.  Griffin's  conipiiny 
of  artiiiciiil  coinediana  at  Ibe  Kin^^'s  Head  and 
Three  Compasses^  next  door  to  Oxford  Market/' 
Mr.  Griffin  taught  her  to  dance  and  tumble^  "and 
in  two  months  she  got  him  more  money  l>y  her 
feats  of  activity  in  thut  way  than  all  his  wooden 
equipai;^  did  In  half  a  year."  Her  next  en^a<^e- 
ment  wag  tit  Siuller'a  Wella,  where  she  gave  furthov 
proofs  of  her  "prodigious  and  amawng  abilities  : 
she  danced,  shi?  Imnbled,  she  Banfj,  and  played 
upon  the  tabor  and  pipe,  till  at  lost  the  audience 
began  to  niiirk  her  geniiiR,  and  not  only  halfpence 
oseil  to  be  throwa  at  her  upon  the  st^^'e,  but 
hand fula  of  silver."  Nancy  next  pbyed  the  part 
of  columbine  at  the  Wells.  "Here  the  maaoger 
of  one  of  the  theatres  catsually  Baw  her,  and  beinj,' 
smitten  with  her  perdon  or  nbilities,  the  very  next 
season  she  appeared  as  a  fijTnpe  dancer  at  Dmry 
Lane."  She  remained  in  this  position  three  or 
four  years,  at  Drury  Lane  In  the  winter,  and  at 
the  Wella  diiriDj:^  the  summer  month*.  At  the 
formeT  theatre  she  became  acquainted  with  Netl 
Shuter,  "who  had  so  long  entertained  the  town 
with  his  pleasantrioV'  who.se  patrnnjige  ehe  at 
once  secured.  She  left  Drury  Lane  for  Cogent 
Garden,  to  wliich  house  her  patron  was  attached. 
In  ITGO,  at  the  bejijitinicg  of  the  winter,  the 
Beggar i'  Ojnra  was  ivvi\x'd.  "  The  man  that  used 
to  danco  the  hornpipe  among  the  thieves"  was 
tAken  ill,  and  Nancy  was  selected  to  supply  his 
place.  From  this  iiiomcut  she  became  a  favourite 
with  the  town,  **  and  her  name  was  put  into  the 
hill  in  cnpital  iHUrs^  na  a  sort  of  bait  to  fill  the 
house.  *She  was  now  thought  a  fit  subject  to 
excite  a  passion  in  the  most  illustrious  bosoms  ; 
captains  were  her  admirers!,  and  peer*  solicited  the 
honour  of  her  ncqujiint^ince.  Her  health  was 
drunk  in  idl  club^  nud  meetings,  matrons  copied 
the  make  of  her  Il;i.t,  and  her  hornpipe  wa^  set  to 
the  liarpsichord  and  taujiht  to  young  ladies."

and  more  impartial  treatment  than  he  hiw  received 
in  the  extract  given  in  p.  455  of  vol.  ii.  of  the

conflict  across  the  table,  giving  vent  to  aiich 
petulant  and  unworthy  criticisms  in  the  heat  of 
di^icussion,  accordin^j:  to  his  habit  of  depressing  the 
icale  on  the  one  side  in  the  same  proportion  as  he 
thou^'ht  it  wjus  unduly  exalted  on  the  other  ;  and 
I  can  iiiuigine  the  tonen  in  which  they  would  be 
uttered,  and,  in  all  pTobability,  the  party  against 
whom  they  would  be  launched  ;  but  it  la  quite  a 
ditferent  matter  when  they  a-ssume  the  form  of 
his  deliberate  opinions,  This  is,  however,  not  the 
place  to  examine  Lord  Maeaulay's  criticbms  in 
detail,  if  indee^i  they  are  worth  examination,  a« 
they  f;o  into  the  whole  4[uestion  of  Defoe'i?  works

pound a  query  on  wiiat  hU  lordiihip  states  not  as 
an  opinion  only,  but  ns  a  fact :  "  Some  of  his  trocta 
are  worse  than  immoral,  quite  beastly-''  Now, 
what  tracts  are  these  I  I  think  I  have  given  as 
much  time  and  atiention  to  Defoe's  workn  as  moat 
people,  but  I  know  of  no  yuch  piecea  of  his.  Has 
not  the  critic  mistaken  Ned  Ward  for  Defoe,  in 
whose  writinjfs  I  never  understood  him  to  be 
thoroughly  versed  J  He  can  scarcely  mean  to  refet 
to  the  treatise — not  a  tract,  but  a  book— on  the 
nuirrijigc  bed,  which,  saving  the  peculiarity  of  the 
title,  htw  nothing  in  it  which  can  diggust  or  Olt'end

descent  of  this  baronetcy  i  The  first  baronet  ap- 
pears to  have  been  Sir  Cathbert  Heron,  created 
1662.  His  grandgon,  Sir  Hsirryj  an  officer  in  the 
Guards,  sold  Chipchaae,  and  died  in  1740,  upon 
-which  the  biironetcy  devolved  upon  Sir  Thanuts 
Heron,  of  Bowlby,  near  Whitby,  won  of  Ciithbert 
Heron,  Esq.,  of  the  city  of  Durham^  by  bis  wife 
Catherine  Middleton,  his  cousin.  This  Sir  Thomas 
Heron  bad  an  only  child,  a  daughter  Marj',  who 
married  Capt.  Robert  Barron,  adjutant  of  the 
Northumberland  militia.  Upon  the  death  of  Sir 
Thoiuaa  Herou  the  baronetcy  would  seem  to  havi^ 
expired,  bnt  I  find  a  Sir  Harry  Heron  commanding 
H.M.S.  Merchant  in  1781.  And  soon  after  this 
the  title  was  borne  by  Sir  Cuthbert  Heron,  of 
Newcaatlo-upoa-Tync  and  of  South  Shields,  who 
commanded  the  South  Shields  Yolunteera  for 
many  years  at  the  commencement  of  the  present 
century.  He  had  Issue  a  son,  Sir  Thomas,  who,  I 
believe,  died  young,  and  several  daughtera.

THE  '^TE  DEUM." 
(5»^  S,  la  506  ;  iv.  75,  112,  312.) 

The  key-note  of  the  Te  Dcum  is  Bounded  by 
St.  Paul,  Phil.  Hi)'.— 

"Qndli&tb  ezdted  Him  nbore  hU,  fttid  graced  Him 
with  &  name  which  is  above  every  nBtme :  to  the  end 
that  at  the  naime  of  Jesus  every  knee  should  h&nd  "—in 
proatmte  adonUion— "  of  beinian*  in  ht'nrin,  and  bein/^s 
on  earth,  and  bitn^^^  under  the  earth  ;  and  every  tongue 
•hould  confeu  that  Jcsuh  Christ  is  Lord,  to  the  ^lohy  of 
Ood  the  Father." 

Inspired,  as  it  would  seem,  by  this  enraptured 
utterance,  the  author  of  the  Tc  Dcum  embodies 
the  divine  intention  in  this  triumphant  anthem  : — 

Thee  [0  Chriit  !]  as  God  we  praise;  Thee  we  coufeat 
us  Lord. 

All  the  earth  doth  worfehip  Thee,  the  cturnBl  Father 
[of  a,  fmiriCual  ond  immortal  seed]. 

To  Thee  all  angeh  cry  alaud,  the  heaTeiiii  and  all  tlie 
powers  therein  [for  when  He  brin^etb  in  the  first- 
neffotten  into  the  world  Ho  saitb,  "  Let  all  the  ungek  of 
i.Jod  wotBhip  Him"— Utin  "by  whoox  all  thiugi  yiere

To  Thee  cherubim  and  Mraphim  cnntintiallj  do  cry  : 

Holy,  holj.  holy.  Lord  God  of  i^^abfloth  [  **  to  Thee," 
and  in  Thee  to  the  Father  and  the  Holy  Gbo*t,  "con- 
feMing  every  pcrBon  hv  htmneir  to  be  God  nnd  Lord."  all 
with  one  con^ont  worsoip  the  Ujiily  in  Trinity  and  the 
Trinity  in  Uiiity  :  *'  to  Thee,  Lord  God  of  Sabaotb," 
Lord  of  the  host»  of  limel,  God  of  the  ariiiiics  of  earth 
and  heaven,  kader  and  captain  of  the  salvation  of  the 
world]. 

Heuvf  0  and  earth  are  full  of  the  mojesty  of  Thy  glory 
[fi>r  tho  Father  hath  exalted  Thee  abave  alt,  and  by 
setting  Thee  up.  tho  heuirenly  throne  hath  matiifosted

The  noble  army  of  martyra  praise  Thee  [for  tl>ey  bqre 
witness  to  Thee,  and  f^ealed  their  testimony  with  their

The  holy  Church  throughout  all  the  wofld  doth

of  Him  tbftt  filleth  ttU  in  all,"  gathered  out  of  all  natiooj 
according  to  Tby  prDmisr  and  by  Thy  comiD»nd]. 

Tbou  art  the  Kmir  of  Glory,  O  Chrht  ! 

Thou  art  the  Everlanting  Son  of  tho  Father. 

It  in  needless  for  my  purpose  further  to  expand 
or  pamphnise  the  hyum,  for  there  ciin  be  no  con- 
troversy as  to  the  remaining  portion. 

Here,  then,  is  perfect  order  and  unity  of  tbonght 
and  coDstniction.  If  the  lith,  I2tb,  and  i3ih 
verses  are  genuine,  it  b  pos^ihU  to  reconcile  them; 
but  there  is  in  them,  at  first  sight,  a  seeming  di> 
turhance  of  unity,  and  the  change  of  petsoi 
12tb  Terse  has  certainly  some  incongruity, 
over,  J  httvi  teen  it  asserkd  that  they  are 
terpoktion,  aa  stated  before  ;  but  being  ui 
from  my  books  I  cannot  verify  this.  I  iKil 
however,  that,  among  other  places,  it  may  be  foi 
in  one  of  the  Tracks  for  Uie  Times^  and,  if  so, 
will  probably  be  references  in  awpport  of  it. 

I  must   pass  by   the  attenipts  to  nnrrow 
question  into  one  of  personal  opinion.     But  «0« 
of   the   remarks  of   jour  correspondent    Atl 
demand  attention. 

His   proposed  rendering,    "  We    praise 
God  "  (our  God),  leaves  .in  ambiguity  to  nn  Ki 
hearer.      It   may   atiU   mean  *'  O   God  " — O 
Godf^and  does  not  perfectly  represent  the 

St.  Jerome  translated  the  expreftsion  in  h 
ijr.  it,  "  Pater  futuri  Sit-culi,"  showing  hi.sdelii 
opinion.      I   have  heard  good   Hebraists,  anic 
others,  Archbishop  Howley,  express  their  coni( 
tion  that  he  was  right.     ALF.rn  says  that 
best  interpreters  translate  it  Father  of  Eternity' 
Init  it  is  scarcely  accurate  to  predicate  gentnui 
of  an  abstract  entity  which   has   no    begini 
Those  **  others  "  who  paraphrase  it  by  *'  Pot 
of  Eternity  '■  have  seen  this.     It  is  an  uuBati 
tory    mode  of   evading    a  difficulty.      Nor 
Aleph's  determination   be   admitted,   thAt 
doubt  "  the  phrase  "in  the  Te  Dtum  i< 
first  person  of  the  blesaed  Trinity,"  br 
is  no  reference  to  Isjiiah  ix.  6,  Hupposm^'  wvti 
be  estiiblisbed.      There  arc  other  reasons  wl 
may  be  given   for  its  proper  appitcation  to 
second  perstn.      Whether  or  not  the   title  » 
derived,  it  may  script undly,  and  ther^'  '-  '"^^'? 
be  applied  to  Christ,  without  *'conf< 
peDsons"  ;  though  it  seems  possible  th;: 
omitted  it  from  some  nppreheosion  oi 
There  is  no  question,  I  believe,  of  ita  i: 
in  the  original  Hebrew. 

St.  John  Damascene's  language  is  true,  bol 
is  not  to  the  point.     The  nature  of  God  is 
folded  in  the  entire  Scriptures.     The  unity  i«

them.  Agreeing  with  your  correspondent  8,  T,  P, 
that  the  best  guide  for  pronouncing  Hebrew  is  the 
Moaoretic  points,  I  am  surprised  to  see  that  he 
adopts  a  wholly  diJierent  py^teni  in  hig  pronun- 
ciation of  GreeL  Here  be  rejects  points,  Lt. 
accents,  and  confines  timeelf  to  f[uantity  alone, 
and  finds  fault  with  such  a  pronunciation  a« 
iSamiATia,  which  he  thinkj^  oitgbt  to  be  pronounced 
Samaria^  because  the  penult  iB  a  diphthong. 
Would  he  tt!ao  call  Mada  Maria,  and  Soph  fa 
Sophia?  Surely  if  the  Hebrew  points  were  in- 
troduced to  show  how  Hebrew  words  are  to  be 
pronounced,  accents  are  placed  on  Greek  words  for 
the  like  purpose,  else  what  is  the  use  of  them  ? 
So  we  say  ufen^  Belina^  because  the  accent  is 
on  the  penult,  though  the  ay  liable  be  short  in 
quantity;  «o  likewise  we  say  Ahribulria^  Phila- 
ih'Iphin^  because  the  accent  is  on  the  antepenult. 
And  this  is  the  way  that  all  Greek  words  are  pro- 
nounced by  the  Greeks  themaelves,  and  I  must  be 
pardoned  for  saying  that  I  think  the  Greeks 
understand  the  pronunciation  of  their  own  lan- 
guage better  than  even  the  learned  of  our  English 
univer.sities.  The  mistake  Uca  in  not  distinguish- 
ing between  necrnt  and  tpmntidj.  People  who 
have  never  lieard  Greek  spoken  as  a  living  lan- 
guage sddom  see  this  ;  a  few  weeks'  residence  in 
Greece  makes  the  matter  very  clear.  Quantity  is 
not  ignored  by  Greeks,  it  is  only  8ubnrdinate<i  to 
accent.  E.  Lea  ton  Blknkinsopi'.

I  am  inclm^  to  think  ihat  many  of  the  inatiDces 
of  "false  quantities"  cited  in  the  editor's  note  result 
eittiply  from  the  fact  of  such  worfJs  having  been 
adopted  into  onr  bngnage  before  our  insular  pro- 
nunciation of  Ltitin  was  invented,  e.^.,  we  do  not 
eay  ly^tid  and  fatmine^  because  these  words  arc 
derived  from  words  which  were,  till  coroptiratively 
recent  days  (and  now  still  in  Scotland  and  Ire- 
land, and  everywhere  but  in  England),  pronounced 
Ucvida  and  faymiixa,  T.  F.  li. 

The  Ettmoloot  of  "  Humbug  "  (5**^  S.  t.  83.) 
— I  think  two  more  derivations  might  be  added  to 
the  very  excellent  one  given  by  Mr.  Kilgour. 
The  first  ia  aa  follows*  James  11.  issued  from  the 
Buhlin  Mint  »  mixture  of  le;idj  brass  rtnd  copper 
*o  utterly  worthless  that  the  real  value  of  a 
Borereign  was  about  Zd.  This  mixture  ever  after- 
wards went  by  the  name  of  "unibug"  (Irish  vim- 
hog — pronounced um-huq — bad  money).  "  Umbug " 
was  ever  afterwards  aUo  applied  to  anything  of 
little  or  no  worth,  and  hence  I  think  it  i.^  very 
probable  that  "  buuibug"  might  have  been  derived. 
The  second  deJuction  is  this.  "  To  hum  "  Ls  to 
appbud  or  to  flatter  ;  the  noun  signifies  a  "fabri- 
cation." From  the  hitter  word,  "humbug,"  I 
think,  might  also  he  derived.  In  the  State  trials 
of  1660  the  following  sentence  wiis  made  use  of: 
"Gentlemen,  this  bumming  ig  not  at  all  becoming; 
the  gravity  of  this  Court."  Both  these  derivations 
fKte  coincided  with  by  Dr.  Brewer  m  his  Diction- 
ary  of  Phrase  and  Fabk.  W,  S,

W.  M.  Cooper,  B.  A.,  London,  Hot  ten,  n.  d.,  at  p.  407 
there  occurs,  under  date  March  10,  17C0,  the  fol- 
lowing passngs  : —

Does  Lord  Cheatertield  use  the  word  anywhere  I 
As  to  the  genuineness  of  the  ''  hudy  of  Quality's  " 
dkry,  I  express  no  opinion.  Mr.  Cooper  gives  no 
refeTences,  and  authenticates  the  uarrativo  in  no 
way— a  plan,  however,  which  he  atlopts  throughout 
his  work,  and  wbtch  much  depreciates  the  vrdue  of 
hia  compilation.  I  fear  an  exhaustive  and  scientific 
"History  of  the  Eod  "  is  sLdl  a  dt^jiidtratum  in 
literature.  Middle  Temixar. 

It  is  worth  a  note  that  the  word  which  did  duty 
for  what  hHTnhug  has,  since  17 bO  circa,  served  to 
express,  was  humdnnn.  It  occurs  near  the  be- 
ginning of  Niush's  Have  -with  you  to  Saffron 
fFalden.     When  humdrum  obtained  the  modern 


sense  of  dull  or  homely  I  do  not  know.    One  tl 
is   quite  certain  ;    the  hum  in  the  one  wt 
identical  with  that  in  the  other,  and  mtist^ 
fore,  convey  by  itself  the  sense  of  deception, 
presents  no  diificultyt  being  the  eanie  as  the 
so  common    with   Shakspeare    and   his   cont«a», 
pirnuries.      "Bugges   to   scare    children"    wa» 
common  phrase,  where  bug  meant  anything 
ployed,  as  if  it  were  Bupernatural,  to  produce 
in  a  child.     It  follows,  then,  that  /<  »m  is 
and  bug  specilic,  of  the  Jwnie  thing  ;  and  huml 
is  merely  an  intensitire  form  of  Uuq,  the  ht" 
uess  of  the  thing  being  thus  emplui»zed,

Tub  Barons  of  the  Cik^uk  Ports  (o^  S.  iiL 
44)7,  453.) — Among  the  privileges  aUowed  to  the 
thirty-two  Barons  of  the  Cinque  Ports,  elected  by 
the  freemen,  is  that  of  carrying  the  king's  canopy 
and  also  the  queen's  canopy  in  the  t^^oronation 
procession^  and  to  have  and  take  the  said  cunopiea 
an  their  fees  for  the  said  services.  Now,  in  curious 
connexion  with  the  above-noted  privilejire.  I  um 
enabled,  through  the  courtesy  of  Messrs,  Widow- 
son  &  Veale,  the  well-known  silversmiths  of  the 
Strand,  to  annex,  hereunder,  a  description  of  a 
piece  of  old  plate  which  has  a  direct  bearing  upon 
the  Cinque  Ports  Barons*  duties  und  fees  when 
employed  upon  the  au^^ust  ceremonies  referred  lo. 
The  tray  or  aalver  to  which  I  allude,  .ind  wliich  I 
recently  examined,  is  of  oblonj;?  shape,  with  rounded 
corners  ;  the  plate  marks  thereon  beinjj:  the  stand- 
ard, tbe  London  assay  ;  the  tiiuker'a  initials  R.  B., 
and  the  date  letter  0,  Avhich  would  sij^nify  1723-9. 
In  the  centre  are  cngnived  tUcse  armorial  bearings 
(without  tioL'tures):  A  chevt^n  between  three  tre* 
foils  slipped  ;  in  chief  a  sunflower  erect.  Crest, 
a  derai-8iag.  Underneath,  and  this  is  the  poiiU^ 
appears  the  following  inscription  ;  — 

*•  This  Plate  was  made  of  the  Staff  of  tlie  Canopj,

LORD  LYTTELTOX. 


Irdny  afternoon,  the  22n J  inst.,  a  funeral 
passed  through  Hafjley  Purk— for  more 
hne  centuries  tho  seat  of  the  Lytteltons— to 
i^bhnnnn::  diTirch.  Most  of  the  long  line 
1  flowers  :  a  cross  in  flowers  was 
h  was  borne  by  scrvftntn  of  the 
ion  liouithuld.  Crowds  of  moarner.^boside,^ 
to  whom  the  decea&ed  bad  been  near  and 

fies  of  blood  and  of  persontil  friendshfii, 
I  the  proprress,  towards  the  phiin  pnivc  in 
churchyard,  of  thut  coffin,  in  which  wjis 
Elded  one  who  had  leapt  the  bju-rier  whitrh 
'le  two  great  njysterie?,  and  who  hud 
meet  the  Inevitable  Angel. 

of  nine  ,ind  fifty  yenrR  of  life  was 

>r  the  strength  of  the  hitc  lamented 

ime  his  apirit.     He  was  a  ripe 

Chmtlan   gentleman,   and  u  inrm   ot 

he  found  time  for  the  fidfilmont  of  everj' 

)»rivate  duty,  and  created  others  which 

kti;^de  men  would  have  avoided.     It 

84 Jd  that  overwork  brought  about  the 

Cfttaatrophc  ;  but  overwork  kills  no 

at  lea-st,  who  are  of  the  brave  quality 

lori.     Work  is  a  tonic^  not  a  de-st rover. 

'   '  the  workers,  Death  would 

I y  than  he  does  at  present. 

d»-Hi.  ^^■'^  not  a  pftrt  of   the   tlr!*t 


sentence  paj^sed  on  man.  It  was  a  merciful  mitiga- 
tion of  the  heavier  penalty  that  by  tlie  sweat  of 
hia  brow, — from  exertion  of  bmins  or  of  sinews, — 
he  should  earn  his  daily  bread.  Indeed^  we  should 
al!  live  in  u  Fools'  Paradise  if  wc  sat  with  folded 
hands  awaiting  doom  ;  without  dulies  to  perform, 
or  offices  of  love  to  execute  for  each  other.  It  ia 
not  work,  but  the  anxieties  that  come  with,  or 
that  break  in  upon,  work,  which  unman  the 
stTontrpst  enprpfies  and  the  finest  intellects  that 
belong  to  humanity.  Lord  Lyttelton  was  old 
enon;^  and  wise  enough  to  luu'e  outlived  those 
susceptibilities  whicJi  make  younp  men  ebafeat  ill 
success,  or  unfaimess,  or  at  disappointment  of  any 
sort,  from  any  quarter.  But  woo  to  the  man  who, 
bavins  parted  with  his  smtceptibilities,  hag  not  pre- 
served in  vital  force  all  his  sympathies.  Lord 
Lyttelton  was  not  such  a  man  ;  but  the  heart 
pulses  may  beat  too  fiist  for  life,  and  It  is  said  that 
excess  of  deep  and  silent  feeling  for  a  daughter 
who  had  ptisscd  away  before  him,  tirat  disorganized, 
and  then  snapt  asunder,  the  once  tuneful  idiord  of 
hh  former  happy  and  useful  existence. 

Lord  Lyttelton  waa  an  old  and  well-iippreciated 
contributor  to  *'  N.  &  Q."  Amonj?  the  moint  valu- 
able of  his  communications  may  be  reckoned  the 
original  papers,  out  of  which  the  editor  wji3  enabled 
to  tell  in  clear  succeasion  the  various  vcraiona  of 
the  celebmted  ghost  story  connectetl  with  the 
death  of  Thomas  Lord  Lyttelton,  Thereby  the 
old  jcho.st  tftiditton  W!ia  entirely  demolished  ;  but 
it  ia  much  to  bo  regretted  that  the  Eev.  I>r.  Lee, 
in  reproducing  the  story  in  a  lately  publbhed 
work,  overlooked  all  the  evidence  which  proves 
tho  ridiculous  and  mischieTouB  talc  to  be  abso- 
lutely without  foandaiioQ. 

Lord  Lyttelton  had  Fomcthing  in  him  of  tho 
quality  of  Shakapeare's  Kent,  "Be  Kent  unman- 
nerly when  Lear  ia  mad"  ;  and  be  wa,s  a  little 
roughly  outspoken  when  he  was  more  anxious  to 
support  truth  than  to  wsi^te  time  in  doin^  ho  by 
Candied  sentences.  Once,  the  editor  ventured  to 
ask  him  to  write^  if  possible,  a  hand  sufficicnlly 
lei^ible  to  be  read  after  rejtsonable  time  and  eJlbrt, 
Hia  reply  was  that  he  could  write  as  clear  a  hand 
i\s  any  man,  but  he  had  not  the  leisure  to  do  it  I 
Vet  he  willingly  found  time  to  correct  hie  proofs, 
and  sometimes  to  reinrn  them  with  valuable  sug- 
gestions. 

The  daily  papers  have  told  what  more  was  to  be 
chronicled  of  the  late  baron.  Here  h  offered 
dimply  tho  expression  of  an  honest  respect  for  one 
on  whose  memory  be  peace.  He  sleeps  in  what 
the  poet  Thomson,  tho  friend  if  the  first  Lord 
Lytteltouj  cidled  the  British  Tempe. 

"  There,  along  the  d&lca 
With  woods  o'erhang  and  aha^rf^cd  with  mossy  rock, — 
There,  on  ^each  hand,  tho  pushing  waters  play, 
And  down  the  *ough  cascaidc  with  dashing,  fnll. 
Or  gleam  iii  Jfiitgthened  vi§ta  through  the  treei."

tributions. His  answer,  dated  Bee.  ^6,  thus  ends  : 
"  There  will  be  about  one  hundred  versions."  I

THE  ENXUMBERED  ESTATES  COURT. 

That  history  repents  itself  is  a  truth  admitted 
by  all  :  the  Kncumhered  Estates  Court  in  Ireland 
i»  only  a  repetition  of  what  took  place  in  the  reign 
of  Tiberiua  eighteen  hundred  years  ago,  I  quote 
from  Tacitus,  Annnh,  bk.  vi.  cliaps.  xvi.  xvii, 

16.  At  that  time  a  great  number  of  informers 
made  an  attack  on  those  who  were  increasing  their 
property  by  usun*,  against  the  law  of  C'icsar, 
the  Dictator,  in  which  enactments  are  made  as  to 
the  method  of  lending  money  and  holding  property 
in  Italy.  Thi^  law  had  been  evaded,  as  public 
advantage  is  sacrificed  to  private  custom.  The 
evil  of  usury  was  an  old  one  to  the  city,  and  a 
very  fref|uent  source  of  seditions  and  difiugree- 
uients,  and,  therefore,  was  re.^'truined  when  morals 
were  less  corrupt.  For  by  the  twelve  tables  it  was 
ordered  that  no  one  should  receive  more  than* 
twelve  per  cent.,  as  formerly  rich  men  made  terms 
aco^iiog  to  their  own  will ;  afterwards,  by  a  law 
introduced  by  the  tribune?,  interest  was  reduccdl 
to  six  per  cent.,  and  hnally  lending  for  interest  was 
forbidden.  By  several  popuLir  votes  opposition 
was  given  to  these  illegal  transactions ;  but 
though  repreBued,  they  broke  out  again  by  won- 
derfnl  contrivances.  Then  Gmcchus,  the  Pra?lor, 
before  whom  the  question  had  arisen,  seeing  that 
many  were  involved  io  the  difficulty,  brought  the 
matter  before  the  Senate.  The  senators  were 
affrighted,  as  no  one  waa  free  from  some  fault  of 
the  kind,  and  they  aaked  for  an  indemnity  from 
the  Emperor.  Tiberius  granted  their  request,  and 
gare  them  six  months  to  settle  their  affairs,  accord- 
ing to  the  requirements  of  the  Liw, 

17.  Hence  arose  scarcity  in  the  Money  JIarkct, 
as  there  was  a  run  upon  the  debts  of  all  at  the 
same  time.     Because  judgment  was  given  against 

*  "  Fienui  unoiariuni,"  one  oonce  fop  every  bundred 
lent,  hut,  M  interest  wm  paid  hf  the  montb,  thia 
amounted  to  twelve  per  cent. 


many,  and  their  properties  sold,*  coined  money 
was  held  closely  by  the  Revenue  or  the  Treaaorv, 
On  this  the  Senate  decreed  that  every  one  should 
invest  two-thirds  of  the  interest  in  lands  in  Italy. 
But  creditors  called  for  their  principal,  nor  was  it 
honourable  that  debtors  should  bre^ik  fuith  with 
them.  Therefore  first  there  arose  a  tumult  in  the 
courts,  then  petitions,  then  confusion  in  the 
Pnetor's  Court.  What  was  supposed  to  he  4 
remedy,  namely  sale  aid  purchase,  had  a  contniy 
effect,  because  the  usurers  had  invested  all  their 
money  in  the  purchase  of  land.  A  (all  in  value 
followed  the  abundance  in  the  market ;  in  propor- 
tion as  each  man  was  more  deeply  in  dent,!  be 
divided  his  property  at  a  greater  disadvantage, 
and  many  were  cast  forth  from  their  fortnn«. 
The  overthrow  of  private  properly  was  destroying 
rank  and  character,  until  the  Emperor  came  to  tiw 
rescue,  placing  a  large  sum  J  ("Milliea  sestertia'j 
in  the  banks,  and  giving  a  power  of  borrotrr^ 
without  interest  for  three  year;*,  if  the  debtor  coi 
give  security  to  the  public  for  double  the  amoc 
on  land.  Thus  confidence  waa  restored,  and 
a  short  time  individuals  were  found  ready 
nor  was  the  purchase  of  land  pressed,  aci 
the  decree  of  the  Senate  :  thus,  as  often 
matters  begim  under  a  serious  ospecti  but 
trifling  in  the  end. 

Thet<e  facts  arc  worth  considering.     The  Ennii 
bered  Estates  Act  arose  out  of  the  famine  of  I 
The  facta  mentioned  by  Tacitus  were  founded 
the  false  notion  that  all  intere<»t  for  money 
lawful     However,  the  fall  in  land  and  the 
of  property  are  very  like  the  events  in  Ji 
from  1851  to  1S58.     But  the  loan  from 
ment  and  the  security  required   are 
which  we  may  fairly  make  a  note.

T  think  it  is  evident  that  the  English  words  of 

'  'lut   the  King  were   not  commonly'  known 

I  his  Latin  version  Api>e!ired,  or  they  wonld 

suri.iy  have  been  appended  instead  of  the  version 

5iven.    The  authorship  of  the  words  of  our  National 
LQthem  is  all  matter  of  conjecture.    Carey  is  toUi3!y 
out  of  the  question,  for  he  died  in  174.%  and  all 
the  atoriea  that  are  told  about  hia  singing  them  lire 
•entirely  devoid  of  credit.     As  regards  his  having 
onrnnrwed  the  music,  and  getting  Smith  (Handel's 
lensis)  to  adapt  or  alter  his  bass,  it  is  too 
loU8  for  serious    consitlemtion.     The  sup- 
'  of  this  theory  are  nien  who  know  nothing 
1  ic,  ami  who  are  unable  to  judjfe  of  Carey's 
«kiil  as  a  muaician.     It  only  requires  an  examina- 
ticM  of  his  works  to  be  conrineed  that  he  pos- 
tOMMd  eODftidemble  knowledge  of  the  science.     I 
» mf^  partictthirly  notice  his  Cantaiatf  published  in

t^  ^blic,  in  > .  II  by  Beiyamin  Victor  in 

kiUr  to  Qarriak,  October,  1745,  who  informs 


us  that  it  WM  sung  upon  the  stage  at  both  national 
theatres  by  "twenty  gentlemen"  (gentlemen  of 
the  Chapel  Royal)  with  great  effect,  He  also  says 
they  sung  the  words  "to  an  old  anthem  time," 
which  is  exactly  in  accordance  with  my  idea  of  the 
origin  of  the  tune,  and  borne  out  by  the  Latin 
words  which  I  have  discovered. 

It  is,  I  think,  a  remarkable  circumstance  thnfc 
the  directors  of  the  Academy  of  Ancient  Music 
(which  comprised  some  of  the  most  able  musicians 
of  the  day),  who  are  so  particular  in  giving  the 
names  and  dates  of  every  composition  in  their 
programmes,  should  be  silent  upon  the  authorship 
of  the  Latin  Chonis,  It  was  unknown  to  them  ; 
doubtless  an  "old  anthem  tune,"  the  name  of  the 
composer  of  which  had  not  been  recorded,  and  hud 
passed  away  from  memory. 

That  the  music  is  old  (sixteenth  century),  I 
have  not  the  shadow  of  a  doubt,  and  it  is  preserved 
in  a  MS.,  attributed  to  Br.  Bull,  now  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  widow  of  the  late  Eichard  Clark. 
There  are,  of  course,  many  differences  between  the 
two  melodies  ;  these  I  em*e  not  for.  The  charaL'ter 
and  structure  of  the  tunes  are  the  same  ;  and  the 
latter  is  so  peculiar— a  rlivthm  of  six  and  eight 
bars— that  it  almost  atanoa  alone.  The  measure 
is  not  that  of  *iny  old  dance,  but  must  have  been 
composed  for  words.  In  fact,  it  is  called  an 
**Ayre"  in  the  MS.,  which  almost  denotes  this. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  music  of  the  Latia 
Chorus  may  some  day  be  discorered^  and  then  we 
shut!  know  more  upon  this  Lnteresting  point. 

A  great  deal  of  harm  has  been  done  by  injudi- 
cious and  ignorant  writers  assigning  an  antiquity 
to  the  National  Anthem  which  it  cannot  lay  claim 
to.  The  following  piece  of  information  appeared 
lately  in  a  periodical  cidled  the  Saturday  Pro^ 
fpnmme  (Aug.  28, 1876),  and  is  only  worth  quoting 
for  the  sake  of  a  quiet  laugh.  The  story  here  told 
is  purely  imaginary.  The  source  may  be  tnice<l  to 
some  clumsy  forgeries  in  Clark's  6rod  iave  the 
King : — 

"  The  origin  of  Ootl  $avt  the  QHten  U  a  very  much  dia- 
puted  ntHlter  It  wouIJI  »cem,  however,  that  both  tbo 
air  and  words  were  composed,  with  very  little  alteration,^ 
as  tbey  now  fttand,  for  the  marri«|fe  of  King  Henry  VH. 
with  Elisabeth  of  York,  The  composer  wai  a  linger  of 
St.  Pftul'B  Cathedral.  The  tane  is  Tery  similar  to  that 
of  the  present  English  National  Anthem,  One  tarw  runa 
thus  :— 

*  God  aave  Kyng  Henrie,  whercsoeVr  he  be, 
And  for  Queene  Eiixabeth  now  pray  wee, 

And  for  all  her  noble  progenye  : 
God  dftTe  the  Church  of  Chmt  from  any  folie. 
And  for  Queene  Elisabeth  now  pray  wee/ 
The  other  verses  nre  much  in  the  lame  itrain,  and  one 
of  them  contains  thii  line— 

*  Confound  their  knaviah  tricki,* 
when  referring  to  the  '  politicki'  of  the  King's  enemies.

EvENTNO  Mass. — A  curious  qneMion  lmb 
raised  as  to  the  meaning  of  a  passage  in  Bi/ma 
and  Juliet  J  as  though  Slnikspeare  hnd  comtiuUfi 
an  error  in  msiking  Juliet  say  to  Father  Lawwnoei 
a  Franciscan  friar,  her  confessor  : — 

"  Shall  I  come  to  you  at  evening  mass?" 
The  day  waa  Tu«»sday  ;  the  time,  it  might 
gested,  was  Lent,  but  that  is  highly  improl 
from  the  words  of  Merculio  :— 

"  A  hare,  sir,  in  a  Lenten  pie,  that  is  s^methiiy; 
and  hoar  ere  it  bo  spent/' 

Shtikspeare  is  btriclly  accurate  as  to  the  tJi 
of  the  maniage.  Juliet,  before  she  ia  amumon

CHAtiLES  Wellb.— The  AthtmEv^^rh  of  the  8fch 
insi.  contains  an  interesting  account  of  IhiK 
"  septuagenarian  dramatist,"  whose  dramatic  poem 
of  Jo»qih  and  hu  Bnthren  was  published,  under 
the  pseudonym  of  H.  L.  Howard,  by  Whittakers, 
in  1824,  fell  dead  from  the  press,  and  is  only  now, 
upon  the  strong  representations  of  competent 
Judges^  republifihed,  and  the  author  proclaimed 
second  to  none — not  even  SbakKpeare  !  "  Fifty 
years  of  golden  silence,"  says  Mr.  Watts,  '*  have 
followed,  but  not  another  line  of  dramatic  poetry 
did  Wells  print,"  This  may  be  correct  if  applying 
to  the  period  subsequent  to  the  date  of  tfotejih, 
but  believing  that  I  could  show  that  this  was  not 
the  only  dramatic  work  published  by  this  neglected 
author,  I  have  just,  from  my  own  stores,  looked  up 
the  following  :  IhamcLs  adapUd  for  Vu  EeprtsenUi' 
tion  of  Juvenile  Fenojig.  By  H.  Howard.  12mo. 
Whittakers,  1820.  On  the  fly-Jeaf  of  this  I  find  I 
have  pencilled,  "  H.  Howard',  i.  e.  —  Wells,  a 
echooluuister";  nnd  if  not  known,  I  record  it  as 
an  unmistakable  earlier  production  of  this  newly 
discovered  genius.  The  boak  contains  a  sensible 
Preface,  offering  his  little  dramas  to  those  engaged 
in  the  tuition  of  youth,  as  suitable  to  draw  forth 
the  omtorieal  powers  of  their  pupils  ;  and  to  avoid

Ladt  Arabella  DENNV.-'Tn  the  firat  volume 
of  The  Life  of  WiUinm,  Earl  of  /ihefbiirne,  by 
Lord  Edmond  Fitzinanrice,  M.P.j  which  was  pub- 
lished last  year,  sundry  particulars  have  been  given 
of  the  good  Lfltiy  Anibella  Denny,  but  n&t  by  any 
means  as  many  as,  with  a  little  more  research, 
might  have  been  bud  before  the  render.  It  is  to 
be  lioped  that  ntany  additional  detaila  of  "  this 
excellent  woman,"  who  was  beyond  all  question  a 
credit  to  her  family,  will  be  given  in  the  second 
edition  of  Lord  Ediuond's  vulnable  biography. 

Meanwhile,  let  me  romurk  that  in  the  volume, 
p.  7  n,  there  :iro  two  inaccuPieies  with  reference  to 
her  whidi  ahouid  not  be  left  without  correction. 
Lady  Anibelk  Fitztmuirice,  siater  of  John,  Esirl  of 
Shelburne  (Earl  Willium'a  father),  was  the  wife 
of  Mr.  Arthur  (not  Alfred)  I>enny,  M.P,  for  the 
00,  Kerry,  who  died,  withaut  i$sue,  in  Auniist, 
1742,  and  the  year  of  her  death  was  1792,  and  not 
1785.  But  it  is  e»nsy  to  account  for  the  latter  uitK- 
statement.  In  the  Dvbtin  Chronirkj  2<>th  March, 
1792,  there  is  merely  a  very  brief  announcement 
of  the  death  of  thia  public  benefactor  (which  had 
been  erroneously  reported,  with  aotne  particular?, 
in  the  Gcnlhman-s  Magrtziufy  1785,  part  i.  p*  235): 
"  Died  on  Simday  [the  18th],  at  Ler  house,  at  the 
Blackrock  [near  Dublin],  Lady  Arabella  Denny, 
aged  85."  The  editor  of  the  Geuthman't  Magazine 
mustj  therefore,  in  some  measure  be  held  answer- 
able for  the  repetition  of  the  error.

voL  i.  is,  "  London  and  Fnincftirt,  Printed  for 
J.  G.  Fleischer,  1790/'  The  title  to  vol.  li,  his 
merely  "London,  1790,"  and  no  publisher.  But 
on  the  title  of  vol  iii.  we  again  meet  with  **  J.  G,

The  type  and  coarse  thin  paper  (veritable  blotting 
paper)  are  evidently  of  foreign  fabric,  and  induce 
a  RUppcikion  that  the  book  was  printed  at  Fnink-

has  come  to  us  from  the  shores  of  the

««em^  to  have  suggested  the  same  subject  to 
Cowper,  for  on  July  11,  1791,  he  writes  thus  to 
litr  :— "  Many  tlii^nks  for  the  Mediterranean  hint; 
at  unless  I  were  a  better  historino  than  T  am, 
tJierc  would  he  no  proportion  between  the  theme

properly  a  subject  for  one  poem  as  for  a  dozen  "

idea  since  Gowper'd  time  ?

Pope  Gregory  XIII.  and  a  king  seated  ;  on  his

dates  this  1630,  My  cut  may  be  supposed  to 
have  accompanied  some  book  or  tract  which  would 
tel!  US  more  about  the  hero  of  Peel's  Famous  Eis-

made  his  exit  at  the  battle  of  Alcazar.        J.  0. 

An  Old  English  Ballad.— In  my  childhood, 
my  grandmother,  a  native  American,  who  wa-s  bom 
in  1754,  used  to  sing  to  me  an  old  ballad,  whicb^ 
she  informed  me,  was  sung  to  her  in  her  child- 
hood by  her  aged  grandfather.  This  grandfather 
fought  at  the  battle  of  the  Boyne,  under  William 
of  Orange.  The  only  lines  I  can  remember  of  the 
aong  (William  is  represented  as  the  speaker)  are ; 
"  The  Lonl  ihalE  be  the  King  to  day, 
And  I  tlie  general  under." 

I  should  be  glad  to  know  whether  there  is  still 
extant  a  ballad  cont^idning  these  lines.  If  so,  and 
if  it  would  not  too  much  encumber  your  p>age8,  I 
should  be  pleased  to  see  it  reproduced  in  your 
valuable  publication*  Scoto-Ambricub, 

African  ExrEDiTioNs.— I  should  be  greatly 
obliged  by  a  tjibular  return  of  this  century's  expe- 
ditions to  Africa,  giving  as  concisely  as  possible 
in  columns— ufter  the  fashion  of  Parliamentarr 
returns— the  following  information  :— Date  of  aail- 
ing  of  expedition,  date  of  return  of  expedition, 
under  whose  auspices  sent  owt,  by  whom  con- 
ducted, objects  for  which  expedition  waa  sent, 
main  results  and  discoveries  of  expedition.  Under 
t!ie  ixist  heading,  which  woiihl  be  most  interesting, 
should  appear  the  names  of  the  new  hikes  and 
rivers.  J*  L.  C.  S, 

Mould  on  Book-Covers.— Can  any  of  your

plain to  me  why  some  volumes  are  attacked  by 
this  pest,,  while  other?^  remain  free  therefrom  I  I

does  cot  ^eera  good  English. 

But  doubtless  the  great  magician  now  at  the  head 
of  the  Government,  with  his  well-known  taste  for 
gnmdiloquence,  will  not  be  content  with  desig- 
nating our  Eastern  empire  by  auch  a  simple  term

for  these  three  little  iBhinds,  besides  the  grandeur 
conferred  on  them  by  the  reverse  movement  {i.(.  the 
Latin  construction),  which  is  not  given  to  the 
"  EmprcM  of  India,"  If  England  and  Scotland 
Mere,  by  a  stroke  of  the  pen,  changed  to  " Great

"Queen  of  England  and  lodiy."  sui^ested  above, 
it  would  be  more  consonant  to  the  heavy  grandeur 
of  the  present  style,  if  it  muyt  be  retained,  that 
the  new  designation  should  ran  "of  the  United 
Kingi^om  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  Queen  ; 
of  the  Great,  Grand,  and  Holy  Pnujandruma,  and

The  word  "  Emperor "  or  "  Empress "  is,  ac- 
cording to  many,  a  word  of  ill  omen.  It  seems  to 
mo  that  the  word  "  Defender  "  is  quite  as  bad,  or 
wor*e.  If  the  advice  of  Henry  VlIL'a  fool  had 
been  takoD,  to  "  let  the  Faith  defend  itself,"  it 
would  have  fared  much  better.  A  good  oppor* 
tunity  now  occurs  of  taking  it,  which  I  trust  will 
not  be  lost.  In  about  twelve  years  after  Leo  X 
bad  conferred  that  ominous  title  on  Henry  VIII.

for  the  sake  of  his  country),  a  long  sericfi  of  the 
said  ladies,  and  to  seize  on  the  revenues  of  the 
fsifcid  fiuth  for  the  aggrandizement  of  himself  and

"  defenilor,"    While,  as  to  the  (now)  faith  in  Eng- 
land, I  think 

"  Non.  uli  ihuxillo  nee  dtftfuonlui  istis/'  ke. 
The  following  lines  are  said  to  hnre  been  found 
on  the  diviaion  table  of  the  House  of  ComraonB: — 
"  Sidonta  made  u  duke  hli  reign  to  ence ; 
Willmm  another.    On  •  change  of  pl*ce, 
Sidonw  mikca  em  emprcM.    Let  m  hope 
William  (vhen  in)  wont  'cap  hira  '  with  a  pope." 
But  surely  it  is  not  the  late,  but   rather  the 
present,  Pritno  Minister  who  has  "  a  ttiste  *'  for 
conferring  titles,  both  ordinary  and  ejc/r fiord inary. 
The    number    of    peers    and    baronets    he    has 
created   testifies   to   one  ;  and  his  fondness   for 
"special  remainders"  (formerly  Tcry  rarely  used, 
and  generally  only  in  caaei  of  wry  greM  merit) 
to  the  other.      There   are   no  \ms  than    two  in- 
atanoes  of  the^te  already  In  his  creatioaii  for  thift 
year,  one  of  which,  i.e.  that  of  raisinw  a  coinuioner 
to  the  Houae  of  Lords,  with  a  special  remainder  of 
hia  peerage  to  a  collateral,  h  an    unprecedented 
and  a,  most  dangerous  innovation.     Southey's  ac- 
count   of    Napoleon's    march    to    Moscow,   very 
slightly  altered,  well  describes  hia  away  : — 
"  There  are  earls  by  the  dozen,  and  baroni  by  sooreflr 
Viacounta  a  few,  dulcea  on«  or  two, 
I^ou^t  elie  will  do,  morbteu  !  parbleu  \ 
For  the  glorioua  reign  of  Sidoaia." 

As  to  the  new  Latin  style  (in  fuhro),  it  is 
appalling  to  contemplate  it.  With  everything  re- 
tained, and  a  lot  more  added,  people  will  be  apt 
to  think  that  the  "  D.  G."  stands  for '^DiHraelis 
Gratia,"  while,  considering  the  sort  of  defence 
which  the  Faith  has  hitherto  eitperienced  from  its 
**  defender,"  tbe  *'  F.  D."  may  (not  inuppropnately) 
he  rendered,  "  in  tbe  vulgar  tongue,"  as  "  Fiddle- 
dee  Dee."  a  E.  C. 


"COMING  THROUGH  THE  RYE/' 
(5*^3,  V.  87,  116,  15<>,  191,3(>9.) 
Your  courteous  correspondent  J.  M,  W.  con- 
eiders  that  the  air  called  *  I  \e  been  courtino:  at  a 
laaa,"  which  is  No.  3t)6  of  Johnson's  fourth  volume 
of  the  Scots  Musical  Museum^  is  "  evidently  not 
only  the  prototype,  but  has  all  tbe  distinguishing 
phrases,  of  '  Cotuing  thro'  the  rye/  "  He  leaves 
unnoticed  No,  367  of  the  same  Toltime,  "  Hey, 
how,  my  Johnie,  lad,"  which  is  set  to  the  name 
tune,  and  might  e^^ually  be  claimed  as  a  *'  proto- 
type." The  original  query  of  Sooto-Americus 
WAS  whether  the  poet  Burns  had  originated  the 
song  of  '*  Coming  thro'  tbe  rye,"  or  had  retouched 
and  improved  any  earlier  song  untier  that  name. 
So  the  question  was  of  poetry,  and  it  would  bave 
been  supererogation  in  me  to  answer  aa  to  tbe 
origin  of  the  tune,  when  unconnected  with  words. 
This  will  account  for  ray  baying  "  overlooked  it." 
The  euddea  spring  into  popularity  which  produced 
half-a-do36en  songa  to  this  air  in  ScoLknd  within 
tweire  yeara,  and  the  *'  If  a  body  meet  a  body/' 


and  perhaps  othens,  in  England,  was  due  to 
great  success  of  Shield's  opera  of  RontttL. 
air  is  in  the  overture,  and  is  not  associated 
words  in  the  opera  ;  but,  being  thoroughly  vi 
it  aflforded  irresistible  temptation  to  others  to  ta; 
ply  this  seeming  deficiency.  It  also  became 
popular  as  a  pianoforte  piece,  the  overture  being 
printed  separately  for  a  shilling.  Shield,  who  wai 
born  in  Northumherliind,  was  not  only  an  abb 
musician,  but  had  also  a  genius  for  compoaiog 
melodies,  several  of  M'hich  are  atiU  in  favour  H« 
cnuiposed  in  the  national  style,  and  often  showed 
a  predilection  for  that  which  was  characteriAtic  of 
hia  native  district.  He  concludes  his  overtur* 
with  this  tune  which  baa  now  so  many  names,  tf 
a  quick  movement,  adding  to  it  the  then  noirtl 
accompaniment  of  two  baasoons  to  hold  on  the 
same  note,  at  the  interval  of  an  octave,  ti%  a  gronod 
boss,  in  imitation  of  the  drone  of  the  Korthumbrias 
bagpipes.  Not  only  in  Rosina,  but  also  io  hti 
other  operas.  Shield  is  careful  to  poinl  out  ^ir< 
which  he  luis  introduced,  so  that  ne 
be  suppoBcd  to  claim  them  as  his  own  cr  _ 
This  air  he  claims  iia  hia  own  ;  therefore,  up'  - 
faith  of  a  nr^n  who  was  usually  so  scrupulou-.  i 
claim  of  iiutbonihip  should  be  oonceded,  unlett 
some  relistble  evidence  of  antecedent  publioatMA 
ciin  be  adduced.     Stenhouse  says  that — 

**  A»  Biini»  had  mentioned  thut  ibe  old  tune  [vf  'AjiU 
Lang  Syiie*!  was  but  mediocre,  Mr.  Thoauon  got  tb* 
worJe  [of  Burns]  arranged  to  art  air  introduced  bySldeM 
in  liH  overture  to  the  opera  of  Rosinc,  acted  at  CovetS 
Oarilen  in  1783.  It  is  the  last  moyemtnt  of  that  jnnh 
iure,  and  in  imitation  of  a  Scuttich  bni^tpe  tuiM^  is 
which  tlie  o&ok;  ii  fub»tiiuted  for  tbe  c/kuMrr  rthialia 
inir*:ntion  of  Stenhcni«c*«J  and  the  t»aasoon  for  Uia  Aroat 
Mr.  Shield,  bowerer.  borrowed  thii  air,  almoat  not*  fo^

jtralhHpe^y  in  Cumming'i  Colltction^  under  th«  tiUew 
^  The  Milter'i  Wedding."" 

Ft  is  highly  improbable  that  Shield  eref  «t 
C'Umming's  ColUctxon^  but,  in  order  to  bolster  up 
this  charge  of  plagiarism  against  him,  Stenhoaie 
affiles  to  it  the  date  of  "Edinburgh,  1780,"  wi«ii» 
inverted  commaB  (Introduction,  p.  Ixvi),  Ai 
Cumming  8  **  20  pages  folio "  are  pcrhapi  a*-

geum— let  us  turn  to  Mr.  David  Laing's  acooont  of 
them.  He  tjicitly corrects  Stenhouse's  misstftlemc8l« 
as  follows  :— 

'•The  original  copies,"  says    Mr,   Laiog.  "ban  *• 
printer  or  publisher's  name,  bat  the  title  is  follo*td*f

neoollect.  Therefore  the  d»te  of  'the  work  will, 
in  all  probubility,  be  some  years  bter  than  Shield's

J.  M.  W/s  charil/ible  view  as  to  the  intended 
trothfalness  of  Johnwn,  the  publisher,  would 
have  jfreater  weight  if  there  were  not  nn  "Index 
of  anthers'  names  in  yoK  i.,  go  far  as  e^m  be  ascer- 
tained," at  the  back  of  the  Preface.  There  is  not 
an  English  name  in  that  index,  although  Johnson 
could  not  have  bought  many  of  the  works  whieh 
he  haa  appropriated  without  seeing  the  nnmes  of 
the  authora  upon  the  copies.  The  om^fision  of 
English  names  has  been  synteniatic,  from  the  very 
first  collection  of  Scotch  aongv,  Thoinson^s  fhphtu* 
Culcdoiiint^  down  to  Johnson's  Nco^*  Afueical  Mu-

I  have  read  with  much  interest  the  answers  to 
ttir  quer^.  On  one  point  of  my  question  I  am 
folly  satUBfied — that  the  eoni^was  not  original  with

HKttniag  of  the  word  Rye,  None  of  your  eor-

They  allargne  the  queBtion  ;  and  I  must  nek  now- 
kt^^re  that  I  do  not  thiok  their  argumentJj  con- 
ciusive-  Although  a  dweller  in  "a  fur  countrj%"  I 
anj  well  aware  that  there  in  a  rivulet  in  Ayrshire 
Bfluied  Bya  The  infonnation  comes  to  me  from 
a  native  Scotchman  that  that  stream  vi{\b  referred 
to,  and  the  internal  evidence  both  of  the  first  and 
iecoad  atanjsos  is,  to  aay  the  lea.<;t,  con^^istent  with 
that  oploioo.  Mr.  NAriRii  writes:  "One  can 
haagijw  aUo  that,  going  through  a  rye-Reld,  the 
tcmpution  might,  to  many  yotithful  minds,  be 
itroog  to  t;ike  a  kWn  from  their  8weethe:irt  ;  hut 


one  can  scarcely  believe  such  a  thing  of  any  one 
wading  through  a  rivulet."  In  answer,  I  have  to 
sjiy  that,  in  my  judgment,  if  a  youth  were  to  meet 
h[s  aweetheiirt  thus  wading,  it  would  be  very 
natural  for  him  to  snatch  a  kiw  ;  certainly  it 
would  be  HO  in  Americji,  Scoto-Americus. 


"The  SHErriKRD's  Paradise"  (5**»  S,  v.  305,) 
—  lam  not  at  all  surprised  that  Br.  Rimbault 
bfis  followed  what  appettrfi  to  be  in  controvertible' 
evidence  that  the  strictures  in  Prynne's  HUtrich^ 
mastix  could  not  possibly  be  intended  to  apply 
to  t!ie  Queen's  acting,  becaui^e  the  book  appearea^ 
in  print  "  the  next  day  after  the  Queen 'a  pastoral 
at  SMiuerael  House." 

In  the  first  place,  let  me  say  that  Dr.  Rim- 
iiAi'LT  might  put  his  case  much  more  strongly  than 
be  does.  In  the  letter  to  Luud  which  Prynne  tore 
up  before  the  f;w;e  of  the  Attorney-General,  and  of 
which  a  copy  hua  been  preserved  in  DelVs  haDd^ 
writing  (Add.  MSS.  59H  fol.  187),  Prynne  wya 
that  the  book  was 

"  finished  at  y'  Preta  above  x.  weeke*.  and  by  y*  lycenaen 
owne  appolntrnt-nt  publiehcd  in  j'  country  above  i  weekc 
before  her  Mn'     Pastorall,  against  which  it  could  IM 
po*«tbly  be  intcn<ted,  a-*  yn'  L''  and  otheri  tiarmiiwl,! 
Iwing  »oe  longe  written,  lyrcnied,  nnd  printed  before  it"] 

Thi.s  would   bring   the   finisbtng  ot   the  preai^ 
to  the  end  of  October,  1632,  and  it  therefore  se^mt 
conclusive  that  nothing  in  it  could  be  intended  to 
reflect  on  a  pastomd  produced  on  Jan.  9,  1633. 
Nevertheless,  I  am  not  convinced. 

Salvettij  that  adniinible  referee  on  questions  of 
date  (Add.  MSS.  270G2  F.,  fol.  358),  tells  ur,  in  his 
letter  of  Oct.  1[J/2U,  1632,  that  the  pastoral  waa 
originally  intended  for  representation  on  Nov.  19/29, 
the  Kings  birthday  ',  and  he  adds,  in  another  letter 
of  the  siime  date,  that  the  Queen  intended  to  act 
in  it,  Rnd  that  much  wa,s  expected  from  her  grace- 
ful appearance  :— 

**  La  MaeiitA  tuas  havera  Ella  ancora  la  sua  parte,  ch« 
pcnta  comparatione  aarA  la  mcglio;  tanta  c  U  buona^ 
{(raxla  che  Ella  ha  in  tutte  le  vue  axioni." 

In   hia  letter  of  Oct,  2J  Nov.  3  (fob  3G0b), 
repeats   his   news,   adding  that    the   Queen   wa«' 
already  taking  part  in  the  rrhejirsals  : — 

•*  La  Reginft  iniicme  con  direraa  Danic  della  Oprl«  T» 
priiticando  una  Paatorale.  per  raofltrarla  at  auo  Palaxto 
di  Londra  quando  BarA  retiirnata  qulvi." 

This  news  would  retich  Prynne's  ears  juBt  as  he 
was  finishing  the  correction  of  the  last  proof  sheeU.

"HoiLE  Sdbskciv^"  (6»  S.  V.  303.)— This 
book  was  clearly  written  subsequently  to  the  year 
161S,  for  the  author,  in  the  Discoune:  on  LiweSj 
p.  533,  mentions  "  our  lute  plantations  of  ViT^'inia 
and  the  Bermudas  "—an  illustration  very  likeJy  to 
have  been  used  by  a  son  of  William  Cavcndiish, 
the  first  Earl  of  Devonshire,  aa  that  nobleman  was 
one  of  the  chief  adventurers  to  whom  the  king 
gnmtcd  ptiteuta  on  the  foundation  of  those  colonies. 
Bishop  Kennett,  in  his  Afanoirs  of  the  CaicudUk 
Family  (170H),  states  that  the  book  was  written 
by  Gilbert  Cavendish,  the  eldest  son  of  the  first 
ei\rl,  who,  he  sayw,  "died  a  young  man  of  incom- 
pjral>le  parts,  mad  left  a  very  ingenious  book, 
entitleil  Hor(z  Stihsccira?"  A.  ii  "NN'ood  does  nut 
suy  that  Gilbert  Cavendish  died  In  1625  ;  but  that 
he  died  before  his  father,  who  died  in  1625.  I  am 
not  aware  of  any  evidence  when  or  where  he  died, 
or  whether  he    had    been    knighted,  though  hia 

{roungcr  brother  was  knighted  in  IGOO.  1q  the 
etter  relating  to  the  marriage  of  the  latter  to 
Christian  Brace  in  lUn8  (Lodge,  iii.  350-2),  he  is 
only  mentioned  by  Mr.  Hercy  as  "  Mr.  W™ 
Cavendisbe,  the  Lo.  Cavendishe  his  soone,"  and 
by  Lord    Arundel   as    "  our    cosin    Cavendishe." 


There  is  nothing  to  indicate  that  hi  lUr* 

Gilbert,  was  ahvo.     Was  Gilbert  (  •■.  then 

in  disgrace,  had  he  quarrelled  with  hia  i*4iber,  orj

which  a  very  young  nmn  could  have  writt4?n, 
is  probable  that  the  author  wa-*  dead  in  165 
when  Blouot  obtained  the  MS. ;  and  if  Wood  aD( 
Kennett  were  wrong  in  attribuling  it  to  Gill^rl] 
Cavendish,  it  seems  hardly  likely  that  Lord  Cluuj' 
doa  was  the  writer,  aa  he  was  then  alive,  and  di4 
not  die  till  August,  1621.  My  copy  appears  tit

The  story  of  the  widow  of  Ephesiis  Is  told  at 
great  length  by  Bishop  Jeremy  Tiijlor  in  Hdtj 
Bijiiifj.  He  quotes  it  from  Petronius,  an  author 
of  the  first  century,  a  full  account  of  whom  nnd 
of  hist  writings  is  to  be  found  in  Sruith's  iJidionary

It  is  not  probable  that  Tnylor  saw  it  in  Petronius ; 
but  it  had  got  about  in  English  versions.  There

That  Alfred  hatl  a  Domesday  Book  or  a  suirey 
of  all  the  hides  of  land,  &c,,  is  quite  certain.  In-

and  it  may  be  called  a  trumpery  introduction  too. 
An  appeal  was  made  for  parliamentary  udsiaLince 
in  the  first  part,  and  allusions  to  promises  thnt  one 
person  could  not  cirry  ont.  In  the  address  *'  tranv

failed,  another  attempt  w;ia  made  by  the  Rer.  Wil-

Hertford,  Buckingham,  Oxford,  and  Gloucester,  in 
1812,  when  he  ceased  his  work  on  Domesday

It  is  said  thiit  "  the  elder  son,  inheriting  the 
youthful  strength  of  his  progenitors,  is  counjonly 
the  stron;Tjcr,  and  therefore  more  worthy  the  heir- 
ship." Now  (though  ray  query  h  more  suitable 
to  the  pages  of  the  LaTud),  I  should  be  glad  to 
know  whether  Hcience  bears  out  that  idea.  Does 
not  tlie  observation  of  parents,  school maatcra,  and 
Bcientific  men  generally,  lead  to  the  conclusion 
that  the  second  son,  born  often  within  oif^hteen

Pillions  asd  Pack-Wats  (S'**  S.  iv,  109,  234, 
£07,  317  :  V.  272,  311.)— I  have  this  week  seen  in 
the  lumber  room  of  a  farm-house  both  a  pillion 
and  tt  spinning  wheel.  T!re  old  woman  of  the 
bouse  told  me  that,  in  her  younj;  days,  she  was  in 
the  habit  of  using  both.  The  pLUion  was  gorgeous 
with  blue  hanimer^cloth,  aud  profu.<iely  studded 
with  Jnrge-headed  brass  naik  There  was  a  wooden 


shelf  to  put  the  feet  on.     Tliere  is  a  pack- 
across  Cham  wood  Forest,  in  Leicestershire,  tl 
have  often  amused  myself  by  tnicing.     I  gatl 
from  oral  tnulition  that  it  was  used  by  the  for 
cborooal-burners  as  late  as  the  middle  of  the 
century,  the  country  being  then  unir  '       ' 
without  roads.     The  pack  horses  w. 
strings,  the  leaders  at  any  rate  having  l.  .. 
system  will   be  appreciated  by  those  wh*  kmw 
how  nuich  better  a  hired  horse  jioes  **  in  coMtT^nnv/' 
The  pack-ways  ran  through  the  open  tieli 
forest,  and  in  many  places  were  sunk  ro  dct'i'   i 
the  pack  horses  could  only  be  heard,  rot  =err!. 
from  the  neighbouring  fields.     These  gullii^s  ii;ij 
?jtill  be  traced  in  many  places,  and  have  frfqiuntl, 
become   water- courses.      The  bells   were  clc:utl;.. 
therefore,  a  necessity.     The  pack-road  bridges  m 
untnistakable,  having  low  parapets  to  allow  Iht 
packs  to  swing  cle^ir  ;  and  when  they  were  «  T 
length,  they  had  recesses  in  the  parapet  (>\ 
picr.^  to  allow  the  drivere  to  stand  iu,  as  oil 
the  jaded  pack  horses  would  be  liable  to  - 
the  high-crowned  narrow  bridges,  and  it  woui-^  .-. 
difficult  to  get  them  in  motion  again,         Q.  H.

Hhepherd's  crook,  and  therefore  belong.^  to  tho 
diocesan  bishop,  as  distinguished  from  a  biahop 
who  bus  no  diocese,  and  therefore  no  jurisiliction. 
It  is  borne  before  him  in  all  functions  |3<?'rformed 
in  the  diocese.  No  bishop,  diocesan  or  otherwise, 
hius  any  right  to  have  liis  paatoral  staff  borne 
before  him  in  a  diocese  where  ho  has  no  juris- 
dictioHf  unless  he  be  acting  as  delegjite  of  the 
diocesan  bishon.  When  the  staff  is  borne,  the 
crook  is  tiirnea  outward.  Certain  abbots  have  a 
right  to  bear  a  pastoral  staff,  but  only  within  the 
domain  of  the  moDastery,  which  is  usually  exempt 
from  diocesan  jurisdiction,  the  crook  being  turned 
inward.  A  crosier,  %.e.  a  staff  with  a  cross  instead 
of  a  crook,  is  the  symbol  of  primatial  and  metro- 
politan jurisdiction,  and  may  be  borne  by  the 
metropolitan  when  he  visits  his  province  ;  in  such 
case  his  jurisdiction  snper^tedes  that  of  the  diocesan 
bi.shop  for  the  time  being.  The  crosier  of  a  patri- 
arch 18  a  double  cro^,  u?  having  jurlsJiction  over 
metropolitanR.  When  your  coTrc8[>ondent  C.  J.  E. 
says,  *'  The  Pope  is  the  only  bishop  who  does  not 
u/o  a  pastoral  staff,"  he  is  wrong,  for  neither 
patriarch.'*  nor  metropolitans  use  it  -,  they  use  the 
crosier.  The  Pope,  as  Patriarch  of  the  West,  uses 
ti  double  crosier.         E.  Leaton  BLSKKi>'sopr. 

'* Occasionally"  (5"«  S.  r.  226,  313.)— Thia 
word,  as  used  in  the  sense  mentioned  by  Mr, 
ToMLiwsow,  secraa  to  be  equivalent  to  the  phrase 
"  on  occasion,"  which  I  frequently  hear  from  the 
cottagers  in  Rutland  and  eLHCwhero,  e.g.  "  I  don't 
do  ho  usually,  but  I  can  do  it  on  occasion."

township  is  an  oasia  in  the  midst  of  a  sandy  desert. 
It  is  the  tract  of  land  to  which  Hampden  and 
Cromwell  were  about  emij^ating  when  detained 
in  England  by  order  of  the  Star  Chamber.  It 
remained  untenanted  by  Europeans  until  the  year 
1649,  when  it  was  occupied  by  a  colony  from  Eng- 
land. Tradition  declares  that  these  colonists  were 
from  ftlaidstone,  Kent,  and  its  neifjhbourhoDd. 
The  tradition  is  supported  by  the  fact  that  the 
principal  village  was  called  Maidstone,  which 
name  it  retained  until  the  beginning  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  when  it  began  to  be  known 
by  the  name  of  the  townehip,  Kaist  Hampton. 
The  descendanta  of  the  original  colonists  Btilt 
dwell  on  their  paternal  acre?.  They  have  sent  out 
colonists  to  all  portions  of  the  United  States. 
Only  two  or  three  new  familiesj  however,  have 
aettled  amongst  them.  The  surnames  of  the 
original  settlers,  almost  all  of  whom  have  sur- 
viving representatives,  were— Talmadge,  Osborne, 
Fithian,  Sberril,  Hedges,  D.ijton,  Baker,  Miller, 
Hand,  Diament,  ^c.  1  should  be  glud  to  know 
whether  those  names  are  still  to  be  found  in  and 
about  Maidstone. 

Until  within  the  last  twenty-five  years  the 
inhabitants  retained  more  of  the  old  customs  of 
their  fathers  than  were  to  be  found  in  almost  any 
portion  of  the  United  States,  Kecently,  however, 
the  village  has  become  a  much  frequented  water- 
ing place,  and  consequently  the  dwellers  there 
have  lost  many  of  their  peculiarities.  SeTeraL 
peculiar  terms,  however,  are  still  in  common  use, 
and,  so  fur  as  I  have  been  able  to  ascertain,  have 
been  in  use  from  the  original  settlement.  Of  these 
I  will  mention  a  few,  viz.,  "  pytal,"  the  yard  about 
a  farnihouiie  ;  **  fortiner,'*  equivalent  to  pfrhapg; 
and  "  heather-bit,*'  the  triaugular  space  of  ground 
enclosed  by  three  intersecting  roads  or  paths. 
The  second  of  these  terms,  "  fortiner,"  I  judge  to 
be  a  contraction  of  the  phrase,  **  For  aught  I  know," 
and  the  third,  "heather-bit,"  to  be  derived  from 
the  triangular  piece  of  ii-on,  still  in  use  in  East 
Hampton,  on  which  heated  smoothing-irons  are 
placed.  I  would  also  ask  whether  these  tcrm^  are 
used  in  Kent ;  and,  if  so,  whether  my  explanation* 
of  the  second  and  third  are  correct.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[6*8.  V.Mat e.^m 


exiateQce  was  revealed  in  conseqienoe  of  the  exile 
of  the  Count  de  Broglie,  one  of  the  political  per- 
sons admitted  to  the  friendship  of  Loiiia  XV.  In 
1773,  M.  D'AJguillon,  then  Aliniater  of  Foreign 
Affairsj  discovered  that  an  active  exchange  of 
commuoicationH  on  Ihe  subject  of  the  distmcted 
stiite  of  Poland  had  been  going  on  for  a  long  time 
between  the  King  and  the  Count  de  Broglie. 
Irritiited  at  this  violation  of  diplomatic  usages, 
D*Aiguillon  obtained  from  Louis  XV.  ft  sentence 
of  banishment  Against  his  riva!,  and  the  public 
waa  thus  led  to  suppose  that  the  noblerann  visited 
with  so  severe  a  nieasure  was  guiltj  of  treason,  to 
say  the  very  least.  On  the  acoesfiion of  Louis  XVI.» 
the  Count  de  Broglie  loudly  called  for  a  repeal  of 
the  late  King's  decision.  By  producing  idl  the  de- 
spatches which  he  hiid  addressed  to  hia  Miijesty'Hi 
agents  abroad,  nnd  the  original  orders  he  had 
received  hiniJ^clf,  he  proved  that  his  conduct 
throughout  the  whole  of  this  extm-otKcial  corre- 
spondence was  strictly  and  absolutely  in  obedience 
to  the  monarch's  request ;  and  the  final  result  was 
a  letter  written  by  Louis  XVI.  Nvith  a  view  to 
publicity,  and  which  thoroughly  exonerated  the 
Count  de  Broglie  from  tte  slightest  charge  of  in- 
trigue, treason,  or  undue  meddling  with  StE^te 
Afiairs.  As  a  condition,  Louis  XVI,  bad  required^ 
in  the  first  instance,  the  destruction  of  the  secret 
correspondence  thus  unexpectedly  brought  to 
light  ;  fortunately,  the  Count  de  Broglie  suc- 
ceeded in  proving  its  immense  value,  from  the 
political  point  of  view,  and  accordingly  it  w;ts 
removed  to  the  Foreign  Office,  where  it  may  still 
be  found. 

The  papers,  for  the  publication  of  which  we  are 
indebted  to  M.  Boutaric,  are  from  another  source. 
They  consist  of  upwards  of  three  hundred  letters 
or  notes  aildre«sed  by  Louis  XV.  to  Tercier,  the 
Count  de  Broglie,  and  a  few  other  coufidentinl 
agents  who  helped  the  King  in  hia  occult  system 
of  policy.  They  formed  part  of  the  Count's  own 
papers  ;  they  were  transferred  to  the  French 
Record  Office  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  and 
it  is  there  that  M.  Boutaric  has  been  able  to  copy 
them  for  publication.  The  work  is  completed  by 
a  moat  important  memoir,  entitled  "  Conjectures 
Raisonn^es  sur  les  Inturtta  de  la  France  avec  les 
autrea  Etats  de  I'Europe."  This  document,  pre- 
sented by  the  author  to  Louia  XV.  himself  in  the 
summer  of  1773,  was  found  at  the  Tuileries  in 
1792,  and  published  by  the  Count  de  Broglie  toge- 
ther with  the  letters  and  petitions  which  he  had 
addressed  to  the  King  Louis  XVI.  for  his  justifi- 
cation, A  second  edition  of  the  "  C-onjectures 
Ruisonrnks,"  prepared  by  M.  de  Sdgur,  appeared 
in  18U1,  under  the  title  of  Foliiique  de  tous  les 
Cahincti  de  rEvrape.  Besides  the  two  series  of 
despatches  I  have  thus  alhided  to,  a  few  stray 
fragments  of  the  secret  correspondence  managed  to 
^nd   their  way  into    severJ  historical   publica- 


tions. Let  me  name  the  curious  memoirs  of 
the  Count  de  Broglie,  edited  by  M.  de  Segur,  JL 
de  Flassan's  HUtoire  de  la  Diplornntit  Fran^nut, 
containing  letters  from  Louis  XV.  to  M.  de  Ere- 
teuil,  together  with  some  of  Breteuil's  answers^  and 
the  memoirs  of  the  Chevalier  d'Eon,  which  M.  F. 
Gaillardet  published  more  than  forty  years  ago. 
These  various  works  have  supplied  M.  Boutune 
with  notes^  illustrations,  and  references  of  eveir 
kind  ;  and  the  mass  of  valuable  information  tbtu 
pbced  before  us  makes  us  hope  that  the  whole  of 
Louis  le  Bien-aimt^'s  secret  correspondence  msy 
soon  see  the  light.  Such  a  publication  could  not 
possibly  be  fraught  with  any  danger  to  the  public 
service  ;  and  it  would  be  extremely  important  for 
the  history  of  European  politics  during  theliU 
century, 

I  hnve  said  that  England  holds  a  eonspi< 
place  in  these  two  volumes.     The  references  j 
by  the  index  will  show  how  closely  Louis 
watched  every  incident  which  characterixej 
policy  of  the  Court  of  St.  James's.     The  peace  j 
1763  could  not  but  irritate  him.     He  haled 
cordially  the  English.    And  when,   in  one  < 
letteri*,  he  alludes  to  the  necessity  of  keeping 
good  terms  with  Russia,  in  order  to  "  ne  pas 
engloutis   par   nos   vrais   ennends,"  Ihese  " 
enemies  "  were  the  English,    As  early  as  176 
entertained  the  serious  thought   of  wiping  off 
humiliation  he  had  been  obliged  to  endure ; 
he  prepared  accordingly  for  an  armed  ex[)cdit 
across  the  Channel.     Authorization  was  yivenj 
the  Count  de  Broglie  to  send  M.  de  la  Roaii 
well  known  as  an  able  and  intelligent 
the  purpoHe  of  reconnoitring  the   Engli* 
and,  AB  the  discovery  of  such  a  mission 
been  followed  by  the  most  serious  coi 
only  two  persons  were  admitted  to  the 
sides  M.  de  Broglie  and  the  Chevalier  li'Eon, 
was  then  secretary  of  M,  de  Nivernai^,  the  Fi

I  ventured  to  remind  Mr.  Gladstone  (by  letter) 
that  the  laat  word  he  bad  intended  to  quote  from 
Milton  was  "  form'd,"  and  that  Adam  v)(U  nnyt

the  correction, 

I  was  f;i miliar  enough  with  Mtlton  (having  often 
read  nnd  pondered  over  him  in  my  youth,  on  the

might  have  been  observed  by  me  if  I  had  never 
heard  of  Vyse.  It  is  something  to  have  corrected 
Mr.  Gladstone  and  been  thanked  by  him  for  it.

FOLK-LORE. 

A  DEVONsniKB  Mode  of  C(TRsiya,— The  cus* 
torn  of  a  person,  consideriag  htraself  aggrieved, 
'*  turning  stones"  to  bring  ill  luck  on  the  offender, 
13  a  practice  still  existing  on  the  .skirts  of  Dart- 
moor, but  lunv  the  act  is  perfoniied,  or  with  what 
ceremonies  accompanied,  I  have  never  heard. 

The  notice  of  Irish  cursing  by  turning  stoneSj 
mentioned  in  "  N,  &  Q.,"  5»>*  S.  v.  223,  is  the  only 
reference  I  have  ever  seen  to  such  a  custom,  and  I 
had  no  idea  that  it  was  so  wide-spread  a  super- 
stition, and  is  certainly  worth  tracing  out. 

Kot  long  s^ince  the  following  case  came  under 
my  own  notice.  An  old  woman,  who  rather  liked 
to  be  considered  uncanny,  as  by  that  menna  she 
gained  a  reverence  from  her  neighbours  which  her 
disposition  did  not  warrant,  threatened  to  "  tunu 
some  stones"  for  the  owner  of  an  adjoining  field 
to  the  one  she  occupied,  over  which  her  c^ttl^ 
trespassed  very  frequently,  because  he  ordered  her' 
sheep  lo  be  driven  to  the  parish  pound.  The 
dread  of  the  consequences  wjis  so  great,  that  it  was 
with  difficulty,  and  only  after  repeated  and  fruit- 
less trials  of  other  means,  that  a  man  was  induced 
to  execute  the  order.  The  curious  fact  which 
connects  it  with  the  Irish  custom  alluded  to  was, 
that  at  the  time  she  was  under  notice  to  quit  her 
field,  which  was  ultimately  purcha.sed  bv  the  neigh- 
bour, who  I  have  heard  remark  that  she  *'  turned 
the  stones  *'  too  often,  and  lost  the  field.

Crazy,  a  Local  Name  fou  tbb  Bcttercup. — 
The  common  buttercop  (RannnculuA  acrit)  bears 
ninong  rustics  in  the  midland  counties  the  vulgar 
name  of  "  crjizy,"  for  which  until  lately  I  could 
never  account ;  but  it  would  appear  that  this 
meadow  plant  is  considered  an  '^  insane  herb  "  by

worthy Boiu"ce  that  the  smell  of  the  flowers  wns 
eonaidered  to  produce  madnesi.  *' Throw  those 
nasty  flowers  away,''  said  a  countrywoman  to 
Mome  children  who  had  gathered  their  handfula  of 
buttercupsi,  "  for  the  smell  of  them  will  make  jou

leaf  is  when  chewed,  what  should  have  given  an 
ill  reputation  to  the  goldea  flowers  forms  a  query 
to  which  I  should  like  to  see  an  answer  The 
other  name  of  "  buttercup,"  which  is  more  general, 
calls  up  a  remembrance  that,  when  a  child,  I  used 
often  to  see  a  flower  held  up  to  the  chin  of  a  play- 
mate, and  if  there  was  a  reflection  of  the  golden 
hue  visible,  which  there  would  bo  upon  a  smooth 
chin,  the  person  thus  operated  upon  was  said  to 
love  butter.  Edwin  Lees,  F.L.S.

1.  That  it  is  lucky  to  keep  mince-meat  from 
Christmas  to  Easter. 

2.  That  if  the  first  butterfly  you  see  in  the  open-

the  year,  which  is  probably  tantamount  to  your 
having  good  luck  ;  but  if  the  first  is  bromny  you 
will  eat  brown  bread— that  is,  be  unlucky.

GEOMKTRrCAL  PROPORTIOK  IN  Auchitecttjre. 
— Mr,  Fergusson,  in  his  History  of  ArthiUcture, 
states,  as  the  result  of  careful  measurement,  that 
"  the  fmght  of  the  Pyramids  of  Egypt  is  to  their 
circumference  at  their  bases  as  the  radius  to  the 
circumference  of  a  circle."  More  than  twenty 
years  ago  a  nobleman  in  the  Korth  was  anxious  to 
repair  a  dilapidated  parish  church  on  his  estate. 
The  old  tower  was  standing,  but  the  spire  had 
fallen,  and  there  was  no  record  or  drawing  of  iti 
elevation.  Ho  apj>lied  to  an  eminent  architect  for 
a  design  for  rebuilding  it.  A  drawing  was  auDplied, 
but  he  was  not  pleased  with  it,  and  he  ackea  upon 
what  principle  of  proportion  the  drawing  had  been 
made.  The  answer  was  that  it  was  draipn  &y  the 
c\jf.,  and  that  no  principle  was  known  applicable  to 
such  buildings.  This  was  not  satisfactory,  and 
two  or  three  others,  the  most  eminent  men  in 
their  time  in  London,  were  consulted.  The 
answers  were  the  same.  The  nobleman,  feeling 
convinced  that  the  old  architects  worked  upon 
some  definite  and  well-known  principle^  obtained 
drawings  and  measurements  of  many  of  the  best 
examples  of  spires  in  England,  and,  upon  long  and 
careful  examination  and  comparison,  he  found  that 
the  height  of  the  spire  from  its  spring  on  the  summit 
of  the  tower  was  three  times  the  diagonal  of  the 
tower  at  its  base.  This  was  communicated  to  mo 
by  the  nobleman  himself,  but  I  record  it  from 
memory.  I  think  it  probable  that  there  has 
always  been,  from  the  time  of  Cheops  and  before 
him,  in  all  civilized  countries,  down  at  least  to  the 
end  of  the  sixteenth  century,  a  distinct  and  well 
recogniied  law  of  geometrical  proportion  through- 
out, in  aJl  buildings  which  aatisfy  the  eye.

occurs  iti  the  first  collect  of  the  Litany  which  is 
ordinarily  read  thus :  *'That  those  evils,  which  the 
craft  and  subtiity,  of  the  devil  or  man,  worketh 
against  us,  be  brought  to  nought.'*  Is  it  correct 
thus  to  apply  the  harsh  terras  **  craft  and  subtilty" 
to  man  as  well  as  to  the  devil,  and  so  to  make  the 
plural  wonls  govern  the  singular  verb  **worketh*'i 
The  prayer  in  which  the  words  occur  is  an  almost

^w/icv),  2  Ct>r.  ii,  11  ?  Are  they  unywhere  in 
Scripture  applied  to  man  1  Does  not  the  grara- 
ma,ticid  construction  of  the  sentence  seem  to  cob- 
stitnte  ihe  word  "man  "  an  independent  nomina- 
tive, governing  the  verb  *' worketh"  in  the  singular i 
If  this  be  correct,  the  sentence  ought  to  be  read 
thus:  "The  cnift  and  siibtilty  of  the  devil— or 
mnn  worltelli  against  us." 

In  the  Beeond  cotuinandraent  io  the  Communion 
Office  the  words*,  "  Visit  theaina  of  the  fathers  npon 
the  children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation 
of  them  that  hate  me,"  are  commonly  so  read»  with 
a  Btop  after  "  children,"  ua  to  convey  the  idea  that 
*'  the  third  nnd  tburth  generation"  are  "those  that 
hate  him";  whereas  it  Li  clear  that  it  la  "the 
fiitherif,"  and  not  "the  children"  who  are  thus 
described.  If  the  words  were  placed  in  the  order 
of  the  sense,  they  would  be,  **  \  isit  the  sins  of  the 
fathers  thiit  hate  me,  upon  their  children  to  the 
third  and  fourth  generation,"  as  in  Exodus  xxxiv.  7. 
Thia  is  in  conformity  with  the  common  experience 
of  life,  m  well  as  with  the  tcacliing  of  Holy  Sf  rip- 
ture  (2  Sam.  xii,  10).  The  children  of  wicked 
parents  may  themselves  be  ri(i;hteous  and  love  God» 
tut  they  inherit  the  temporal  consequences  of 
their  futhera'  sins  (Lcvit.  xxvi.  3D,  Lament,  v.  7). 
Some  Jewish  interpreters  huve  endeavoured  to 
confine  the  meaning  to  the  ihiUltcn  who  hate  God, 
and  sin  after  the  example  of  their  fathers.  But 
no  Chrii^tian  divine  admits  thia  interpretation, 
because  it  evidently  deprives  the  worda  of  the 
s|>ecial  warniaL;  which  they  were  deaiened  to  convey. 
They  ou^ht,  tJiertfore,  to  be  read,  "Visit  llie  sins 
of  the  fiithcrs  — upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  genenition  — of  them  that  bate  me," 
The  Septungiut  gives  thin  sense  bv  reading  not 
*'  of  them,"  but  "  io  them  that  Imtc  me."

The  Words  "Eerie/* "Sidesman," ''Dltible*

(April  6)  took  rae  to  task  for  using   the   word

aakfl.     Thia  ecepticism,  it  seems  to  rae,  h  ground- 
le%s.     For  though  the  word  waa  originally  a  Scot- 
tidftn^  yet  being  used  by  Burn?,  Hogtr^  and,  I 
thinks  by  Chrij«t*>pher  North  and  Sir  Waller  Scott, 
it  siirtly,  at  lhi3  time  of  day,  needs  no  defence  or 
apf.K»;0'-     I  should  be  ghwl  to  V>e  corrobonitcd  in 
this  view,  if  I  am  correct.     The  words  **awe," 
awesome,"  "  ugly,"  are  near  akin»

about  X  "  contraction  of  gy nods-men."     But  ^uery, 
were  these  oflieiaU  ever  so  called  f    In  the  t-ounne 
of  the  fduie  article  he  questions  the  meaning  which 
I  attach  to  the  proyincial  word  "  dumbledore."     I

"estourdi  comrae  iin  haneton,"  "aa  dull  or  heed*

word   "  dnmbledore/'   a   cockchafer,   which    a!*o 
iDeaos  a  blockhead  or  stupid  fellow.     The  acute

BATH  ABBEY: 

RESTORATION  v.  MONUMENTS. 

(5t*»  S.  V.  134,  177,  196,  238,  267.) 

Several  articles  having  lately  appeared  in  your 

|Bf«s  with   reference  to  the  alleged  removal  of 

aouuoK'ntal  and  other  inscriptions  from  the  Abbey 

Ckirch  o(  Bath,  the  following  statistics  relating  to 

tbo  subject  may  perhaps  be  useful  in  alloying  the 

tpprttu  u-ions  of  those  of  your  readers  who  may  be 

nd  idao  tend  to  remove  the  impression 

nf  Tour  correspondents  seem  anxious 

ttf  fu,i  .  lie  imaginary  recent  irregalarities. 

Th  cord  we  have  of  the  monumental 

*  in  the  Abl»ey  Church  is  found  in  a 

iled  by  Dr.   Richard  Rawlinson,  and 

i  1  I   Le*l^  1719,  entitled  The  History  and  Anti- 

<i>'>h':s  of  Ou  Catktdral  Church  of  Salubury^  and 

!K.  Ahh*u  (Ikurch  of  BafK     This  work  contains  a 

Mt  nt^'iMti    of  all    the  monuments  at  that  time 

the  churcli,  with  copies  of  the  inscrip- 

'uly  of  those  upon  the  mural  tablets, 

>?e  upon  the  gravestones,  amounting  to 

fonuer,  and  1 16  of  the  latter.     In  the

^'  Pile,**  was  pnblihhed.      This  contains 

Ql^^MM  \t(  Al  the  inscriptions  upon  the  monuments 

lA  tnhlet^  At  that  date,  but  does  not  include  the 

tones.     It  gives  copies  of  154  inscriptions.. 


No  further  list  appears  to  have  been  made  nntn 
1SG2,  when  the  present  sexton  prepared  in  MS,  an 
index  to  the  names  ;  but  this,  I  fear,  was  far  from 
complete.  The  late  restoration  involved  the  ne* 
cessity  of  the  removal  and  entire  re-arrangement  of 
the  tablets  throughout  the  building.  Since  the 
completion  of  this  portion  of  the  work  a  new  list 
luis  been  made  out,  which  I  hjive  myself  carefully 
revised.  The  number  of  mural  tablets  and  monu- 
ments in  the  church  at  the  present  time  is  676. 

The  Corporation  of  Bath  expended  a  large  sum 
of  money  upon  the  abbey  between  the  years  1823 
and  1834.  The  work  consisted  of  the  removal 
and  demolition  of  houses  built  against  the  walls  of 
the  church,  and  the  partial  restoration  of  the  edifice 
by  erecting  pinnacles  and  flying  buttresses.  The 
reconstruction  of  the  interior,  by  the  removal  of 
screens,  re-pewing  the  choir,  and  enlarging  the 
galleries,  was  not  elfectcd  until  1834.  Pnor  to 
this  date  the  pillars  of  the  church,  as  well  as  tb^ 
walls,  were  covered  with  monuments  and  tableta; 
and  it  is  deeply  to  be  regretted  that  the  removal 
of  these^  and  their  re-arrangement  upon  the  walla, 
should  have  been  left  so  completely  in  th©  liandi^ 
of  the  contractor  and  his  workmen.  Monumeotffi 
erected  to  the  memory  of  many  of  our  local  cele- 
brities, some  containing  their  effigies,  and  pos- 
sessing  much  historical  interest,  altogether  disap- 
peared; and  of  others  described  in  the  bookl 
mentioned  above  the  inscriptions  alone  are  pre^ 
served. 

The  later  and  more  complete  restoration  of  tlie 
church  was  commenced  in  1863,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Sir  G.  Gilbert  Scott.  The  demolition  of 
the  galleries  and  screens  dbpkced  many  of  the 
tablets,  and  an  entire  re-arrangement  became 
ol)ligutory.  This  portion  of  the  work  was  no|. 
taken  in  hand  until  1S68.  In  order  to  find  room 
for  so  large  a  number  of  tablets^  it  was  needful  to 
do  away  with  the  black  margins,  urns,  and  other 
extraneous  ornaments,  where  it  could  be  done 
without  interfering  with  the  inscriptions  or  ar- 
morial bearings.  Mr.  J.  T.  Irvine,  the  clerk  of 
the  works,  under  Sir  GUbert  Scott — whose  anti- 
quarian knowledge  and  zejd  was  a  sufficient 
guarantee  against  any  needless  curtailment  of  tho 
monuments— superintended  the  work,  and  wa« 
most  scrupulously  careful  to  preserve  every  frag- 
ment of  an  inscription  found  in  the  churvh.  In 
connexion  with  the  work  of  restoration  the  entiro 
pavement  of  the  church  was  taken  up,  and  a  bed 
of  concrete  laid  over  the  graves  throughout  the 
whole  area.  In  carrying  out  this  portion  of  the 
work,  other  abuses  and  irregularities  of  former 
times  were  discovered  ;  some  of  the  gravestonea 
had  been  made  to  do  double  duty,  having  insctii>- 
tions  on  both  sides  ;  others  were  broken  up  and 
used  for  covers  to  the  walled  gmvea,  and  many 
inscribed  fragments  were  brought  to  light  which 
had  long  been  buried  beneath  the  ^x^bmovV 


NOTES  AND  QUEllIES. 


The  re-arrangement  of  tbc  tablets  has  now  been 
completed  nenrly  three  years,  since  which  there 
has  Decn  no  change  or  rcmorol  of  imy  tablet, 
grmTestone,  or  momorittl  of  any  kind,  in  or  from 
any  part  of  the  church. 

I  will  now  reply  very  briefly  to  the  charces  of 
TOur  correspondent  Abb B A.  1  rep^r^t  that  I  should 
have  coramitted  an  error  with  reference  to  the  in- 
&mption  stjitpd  by  him  to  have  "  recently  dis^ip- 
peared."  **  Butler*^  was  the  only  n.ime  mentioned 
by  him,  and  it  was,  I  think,  not  an  imnntural  con- 
cltiaion  to  suppose  that  to  be  the  **  one  inscription  " 
referred  to.  feiit  etiil  more  do  I  regret  that  your 
correspondent  should  commie  the  greater  error  of 
making  charges  in  the  public  pre«a,  calculated  to 
disturb  the  mind?  of  many  of  your  readers,  without, 
in  the  first  place,  ascertaining  whether  ftuch  charges 
are  well  founded.  With  regard  to  the  "Cuaacke" 
inscription  (r)**^  S.  v.  238),  it  still  remains  in  pre- 
cisely the  same  position  it  has  occupied  for  the 
kst  ten  yean  at  least,  nor  is  there  the  sli(^hte«t 
probability  that  it  wiH  ever  be  removed  so  long  as 
the  church  itaelf  standR.  Will  Abuoa  allow  me 
to  correct  his  copy  of  the  inscription,  which,  not- 
withstanding his  care,  is  slightly  inaccurate?  The 
stone  reads  *'de  Athgare,"  instead  of  "  AthcAre," 
and  concludes  with  "  R.  I.  P." 

The  monument  to  Cob  Robert  Walsh  (b^^  S.  v, 
267),  which  he  says,  "  if  be  mistakes  not,  has  disap- 
peared from  public  view,"  forms  the  most  promi- 
nent object  in  the  north  aisle  of  the  nave,  and  it 
is  most  extraordinary  how  it  could  have  been 
overlooked.  It  occupies  a  conspicuous  position, 
and  is  one  of  the  monuments  which  still  remain 
in  the  ongmul  form  without  any  change  or  curtail- 
ment. It  was  placed  wbere  it  now  is  upwards  of 
four  years  ago,  having  been  removed  from  a  wall 
screen  supporting  the  old  organ  gullerj'',  which  bus 
been  taken  down.  The  two  tablets* to  which  he 
refers  are  both  within  a  few  vards  of  the  "  broken 
pillar  "of  Col.  WaUh. 

Your  correspondent  Rosst:nsi8  (5***  R.  v.  177) 
baa  not  favoured  me  with  the  name  upon  his 
grand  father's  tablet  ;  if  he  would  do  so,  it  is  more 
than  probable  that  his  charge  of  **  vandalism"  will 
prove  to  be  as  utterly  without  foundation  as  those 
of  Abuba.  I  think  his  epithet  of  *' clerical  van- 
dalism" if?,  uoder  any  circumstances,  misapplied. 
The  care  and  presfervation  of  the  fabric  and  furni- 
ture of  the  church  are  vested  in  the  churcbwardens, 
not  in  the  incumbent:  an  abuae  of  this  responsibility 
cannot,  therefore,  be  chargeable  to  the  clergy. 

One  word  in  reply  to  Clarrt's  query  (S'*"  S.  v. 
238)  resncctiDg  the  books  in  the  abbey  vestry. 
The  books  are  in  the  same  condition  in  which  he 
saw  them.  There  are  some  few  rare  books  among 
them,  but  the  genenil  chamcter  of  the  library  is 
not  such  as  would  W!»rrant  or  justify  the  church- 
wardens to  eitpend  money  from  the'  parish  funds 
(no  other  funds  being  ovailable)  in  repairing  or 


rebinding  them  ;  all  they  can  do  i«  to  take  wl 
care  they  can  to  preserve  them  from  further  decay.

Kenkoway  (5»fc  S.  V,  2270^It  is  asked  M'hat 
is  the  derivation  of  this,  the  name  of  a  village  in 
the  kingdom  of  Fife.  One  that  hay  been  otfered 
h  that  it  is  from  the  Gaelic  ciann  (hend),  pron. 
ken,  and  wam/i,  a  cave.  It  was  ft  unstuke  to 
translate  this  the  town  of  the  cave.  Another  idea 
was  th:it  it  is  from  r can  it  and  naifjh,  a  awo  or 
den, --the  head  of  the  den.  There  are  two  diifi- 
cultie.'?  here  :  it  i.-!  likely  that  at  one  time  the  g 
in  tiaitjh  was  sounded  ,'  the  other  13  that  o*t'fl?/  ia  a 
longer  aound  than  nni/jlt :  the  to  U  not  accounted 
for.  I  have  never  been  at  KcnnowaVy  but 
Chambers's  GaztUecr  says  that  the  vilLige  is  built 
along  the  top  of  a  very  beautiful  and  romantic 
den,  the  sides  of  which  are  steep  and  rocky,  and 
contain  some  caves. 

The  following  guess  is  offered  for  the  considera- 
tion of  the  reader.  If  we  had  iu  Gaelic  a  word 
like  cumha,  and  if  it  were  feiutiiinCjlhen  Ccann-a- 
chumhai  would  mean  the  head  of  the  valley.  I 
have  six  Gatdic  dictionaries  beside  me^  but  cumha 
is  not  there.  Still  a  word  may  exist  in  common 
speech  without  having  found  its  way  inlo  a  dic- 
tmnary.  I  do  not  know  if  it  is  employed  in 
common  Bpeecli.  Why  thtn  refer  to  it  at  all  ? 
The  reason  is  that  Gaelic  has  the  adjective  cum- 
haun^  narrow.  This  makes  probable  the  pre^ 
existence  of  a  substantive.  Without  going  further, 
is  there  not  here  some  reason  to  say  that  cumha 
ought  to  be  given  a  place  in  future  dictionaries, 
with  a  nmrk  to  show  that  it  is  an  ideal  or  theoreti- 
cal word,  and  that  it  is  obsolete  I  It  would  corre- 
spond with  the  Welsh  and  Cornish  cirm,  a  valley. 
In  (Jtumhm,  when  the  c  In  aspirated,  the  c  ii 
iiilent,  so  that  ceann-a-chumhai  is  sounded  kena- 
huvai,  only  that  mh  is  sounded  more  aoftly  than  v. 
The  word  (o  ion.  is  not  htird  or  harsh,  but  in  Scot- 
hind  it  is  often  pronounced  to  loo.  Thus  let  iis 
suppose  the  mh  altered  to  n'.  If  the  reader  is 
willing  to  accept  this  view,  then  the  »r  in  Kenno- 
way  is  accounted  for,  and  the  head  of  the  valley 
would  describe  the  situation.  From  our  long-lost 
cumha^  or  the  Cymric  cwm,  comes  the  Eugliih 
comk,  also  cove  (an  it  is  not  material  whether  the 
lower  part  of  the  valley  is  land  or  water).  C«m- 
hann  is  not  a  solitary  word,  it  is  a  family  word  ; 
there  arc  various  other  words  like  it,  of  the  same 
length  or  longer.  One  of  the  ideas  about  the  Picta 
was  that  they  were  a  Cymto-Celtic  race.  Any  one 
ghmcing  at  these  lines,  in  seeing  a  reference  to  the 
Welsh  cmniy  might  for  a  moment  fancy  that  if 
Kennowtiy,  a  place  in  Pictlwnd,  contains  f^m, 
this  is  some  proof  that  the  Picts  were  Cymric, 
To  this  view  there  are  two  objectiona  :  one  is  the

existence  of  cttntJKinn  and  some  other  words  in 
modern  use,  the  other  is  that  we  have  cumha 
joined  with  the  Gaelic  c^ann  (head),  which  corre- 
gpomls  with  tlie  Cymric  pen.  As  the  first  syllable 
of  Keimoway  is  Gaelic,  it  is  likely  thnt  the  rest  of

TaKLnji  the  ancient  form  of  *■•  Kennachin  "  (f  Kin- 
auch-a'en)^  and  judging  from  the  physical  character 
of  the  district,  it  appears  to  me  that  the  name  has 
gome  such  meaning  as  **  bum  field  head."  This 
notion  is  strengthened  by  the  fact  that  the  burn 
which  passes  close  to  the  village  is  one  of  the  chief 
topographicfil  fealures  of  the  pari*?b,  and  its  banks 
exhibit  much  individuality  of  character  and  no 
small  amount  of  romantic  beauty.  The  name  of 
the  hamlet  of  "  Kennoway-/nzm«  "  also  favours  the 
hypothesis,  and  may  be  said  to  contain  the  very 
germ  of  the  meaning  of  the  name  of  the  pariah.

BcTiNS  (S***  S.  V.  8.)— Great  allowance  must  be 
made  for  Mr.  Carljle  when  it  is  borne  in  mind 
bow  he  produced  his  Uero-H'oriihip,  It  was  de- 
livered in  the  form  of  lecture?^  and,  it  is  said, 
almost  without  notes.  All  the  lectures  seem  to 
have  been  delivered  in  one  month,  viz.,  the  month 
of  May,  1K40.  As  such,  they  exhibit  a  surprising 
intellectual  feat,  and  we  must  not  go  to  them  in 
the  expectation  of  linding  in  them  any  great  nicety 
of  cla,s3ilication.  Without  doubt  Mr.  Bouchieu 
ia  justified  in  arraigning  the  method  of  grouping 
adopted  by  Mr.  Carlyle  ;  and  there  ia  Bomcthing 
very  comical  in  taking  Rousseau  as  performing  an 
heroic  part  in  life,  whether  as  man  of  letters  or  in 
any  other  sense  wh:itever,  JIuch  was  there  in 
him^  no  doubt,  of  noble  ;  much  there  seems,  also,  to 
hflve  been  of  the  inextricably  base.  He  could 
couple  the  fickleness  of  a  woman  with  more  than 
a  woman's  tenderness;  hh  sensibility  to  the  love- 
liness of  a  memorizing  field  -  flower,  **  Ah,  la 
pervenche!"  was  livelier  than  a  city-pent  giiTs 
revisitation  of  her  rural  home  ;  but  ho  could  be  as 
fretful,  savage^  and  remorseless  with  his  best  friend 
as  a  wild  panther.  A  .splendid  gt^nerosity,  as  when 
he  gave  his  choice  botanical  cullection  to  a  needy 
friend,  seemed  native  to  him  ;  and  some  meanness, 
of  revolting  sensiiality  or  other  sort,  the  next  day 
would  3eem  aa  indigenout  a  c^^nality.  Even  a 
wizard  so  potent  as  Mr.  Moeley  cannot  sum  the  man 
up  other  than  oi  a  fiiggot- bundle  gnthered  tiom  a 


forest  of  contrariety.  To  clais  him  us  a  htro 
letters  is  tr.igi- comical  indeed.  I  apprehend  thatMc 
Garlylc,  thus  introducing  Bums  and  Rouftseaii,  feU 
a  desire  to  disburden  himself  of  some  of  the  hn^H 
ideas  he  had  formed  upon  the  men,  and  e'en  m 
jotted  them  down  after  Johnson,  as  a  man  I^c 
Gibbon  writes  notes  to  relieve  his  fulness,  with-  it 
any  great  regard  to  his  text  or  it*  requirements,  f  i 
heroes  are  Mahonet,  Dante,  Shakspeare,  Lu!^if 
Knox,  Johnson,  Eousseau,  Boms,  Cromwell,  ui 
Napoleon.  Here,  observe,  are  seven  Fevoliuiuj- 
istH— and  perhaps  we  may  count  Sbak*peAir  .a 
eighth— to  two  Gonservatorg,  For  Mr.  Corlyl.  i 
that  day  loved  any  strong  man  who  could  stn.  J 
against  the  fora^^  whether  rightly  or  wronijly  11.^ 
would  not  now  put  Napoleon  amongst  iht'  lunx-i 
at  all ;  and  k  seemi  no  small  pity  to  mnny  uLiml* 
thnt  he  should  have  laboured  so  grriphic;diy  u^  he 
has  done  here  and  eltnewbere  to  raise  Cromwell  to 
a  crown  of  kingship,  which  Cromwell  ^mt  away 
from  himself  with  hia  own  hand.  I  think  the 
great  defect  of  these  lectures  of  the  year  1S40  it 
that,  by  the  selection  of  so  many  improper,  I 
might  almost  say  iraraoKd,  examples  of  illustrious 
men,  tlie  noblest  element  entering  into  the  r!p*ld- 
tion  of  the  word  *'hero"  has  been  ex- i  I 

the  highest  idealization  of  a  glorious  1j 
this  clay- walled  prison  of  our  bodies  h: 
based.  Dauntless  valour,  reach  of  in? 
and  deep,  and  a  noble,  if  possible  d< 
certainly  unselfi&h,  purpose,  are  indispei 
the  heroic  life,  and  then  steps  in  death 
mythology  of  after-life,  spotless  and  imm 
the  gods.  C.  A.  Waw«.

A0A1X8T,  BUT  BEYOND  EEASON  "  (5*^  S, 

r)— Many  will  consider  it  to  be  rather  a  mis- 
f  the  word  to  call  this  saying  an  axiom.  No 
tathe  reference  ia  to  what  Locke  is  treating 
Ble  |>art  of  the  Essay  on  //t^  UnderfttamUnfft 
Pi  in  that  work  the  subject  is  not  so  tersely 
lased  as  in  the  quotation,  but,  on  the  con- 
hJfi  so  diifusely  trended  as  to  be  spread  over 
fc  prtRi^T^iphs.  Tills  quality  of  difiuseness 
K  tedious  to  some  readers,  but  iii  cliamc* 
K»r  the  author,  aod  conduces  not  a  little  to 
pK  of  view  and  lucid  atitement.  When 
Irt9?<*d,  what  Locke  says  amounts  to  this. 
Sstt:  ins  art?  either  above,  according  to,  or 
reason.  As  instances^  the  resurrection 
A  ia  above  reason,  the  existence  of  one 
^c-cording  to  reason,  and  the  existence  of 
id  gods  contrary  to  reason.  However,  for  the 
I  in  which  this  formula  is  conveyed,  it  i.^ 
r  Lo  coD8alt  the  cbshj  itaett     It  comes  in  the 

'  '  ttuKiy  on  **F«ith  and  Reason,"  bk.  iv, 
7,  et  stq.  Victor  Cousin,  in  his  wn- 
ciiuciam  of   the    E$iaii  on   the    Under- 


itaiiding^  admits  that  this  part  on  "  Faith  and 
Reason  "  ia  one  of  the  beat  in  the  book.  He  then 
passes  on  to  observe  that  the  celebrated  distinc- 
tion in  question  is  "  perhaps  more  specious  than 
profound"  (see  Ekments  of  Fsyrholofjij,  by  Victor 
Cousin,  p.  295,  ed.  by  Prof.  Henry,  New  York, 
1843),  Certainly,  in  the  face  of  the  distinction 
bctweeB  the  reason  nnd  the  nndcrstunding  in- 
sisted on  by  the  leaders  of  th>*  transcendental 
schools  uf  thought,  from  Kant  to  Hejrel,  this  form 
of  Locke's  will  not  bear  scrutiny.  This  wa«5  the 
distinction  so  fondly  dwelt  on  in  season  and  out 
of  pcason  by  S.  T.  Coleridge,  and  which  lias  been 
touched  on  at  times  in  "N.  &  Q.,"  in  the  earlier 
serieg.  Locke's  Bayinjy  owes  its  currency  to  a  dash 
yf  antithesis  which  imparts  rather  a  taking  and 
popular  air  to  the  saw  ;  hut  this  very  quality,  if  it 
''  make  not  the  judicious  grieve,'*  would  lead  him 
to  regard  it  with  suspicion.  If  your  correspondent 
will  philosophically  focus  it  with  attention  under 
the  new  light  referred  to,  he  wiO  find  that  Locke 
uses  the  word  "  reason  *'  in  this  case  with  totally 
■different  significations.  F,  S.

John  Baskervillk,  Eigiiteri^tii  Cehturt 
Printer  (5"»  S.  v.  203.)— In  reply  to  Crescent, 
Baskcrville  was  not  ^'unfortnntite  in  business," 
that  is,  ho  was  not  bankrupt,  or  compelled  **  to 
transfer  his  types  to  the  clever  Frenchman."  Bns- 
kerville  died  Januarj*  10, 1775,  leaving  conaiderablo 
property  behind  him.  In  his  will  he  left  **  Five 
hundred  pounds  to  the  committee,  for  the  time 
being,  of  the  Protestant  Dissenting  Charity  School, 
in  Birminglmm,  in  trust,  towards  erecting  a  com- 
modious building  for  the  use  of  the  said  charity." 
The  testator  died  two  years  after  the  date  of  the 
will,  and  it  was  held  that  the  legacy  was  invalid. 
Mrs.  Baskerville,  the  widow,  was  favourably  dis- 
posed to  the  charity,  and  said  the  ejtecutors  would 
pay  the  money,  but  they  were  better  advised. 

Baskerville's  widow  carried  on  the  printing 
business,  &c.,  as  long  as  she  lived.  Sne  died 
Mnich  21,  1788.  After  then  the  business  and 
types  were  sold  j  therefore  Beanniarclmls  did  not 
buy  the  type,  &c.,  until  May,  1788.  The  edition 
of  Voltaire  s  works  could  not  have  been  printed  by 
him  before  then  with  Baskerville's  types.  The 
house,  workshops,  &c.,  of  Koskerville  wtre  sold  by 
auction  on  May  19,  1788.  A  compkte  description

The  auetioneer'a  account  leaves  out  many  par-

that  was  known  well  enoiigb  in  Birmintjhani.  But 
he  did  not  name  that  the  purchaser  would  have 
the  maiisoleuui  which  Bo^kerville  had  built  under 
his  own  eye  to  hold  his  remains,  and  his  rcmaina, 
too,  in  the  barj^'ain. 

He  was  buried  in  it  by  an  express  direction  con- 
tained in  his  will.  He  carved  the  inscription  that 
was  to  suniiount  his  tomb  with  his  own  hand. 
Whether  it  ever  occupied  that  place  I  cannot  mj ; 
but,  about  forty  years  ago,  I  saw  the  said  stone  for 
sale  in  a  brokers  shop  in  Birmioghaiu.  As  a  boy, 
I  admired  the  bctuity  of  the  lettera  and  thequaint-

I  renieinlii'r  it  was  said,  when  I  was  a  boy,  that 
he  Wiis  buried  erect  by  his  orders,  that  he  raitjht 
have  little  trouble  on  the  day  of  resurrection.  He 
said,  at  least  it  was  said  for  him,  th:it  the  resur- 
rection would  be  before  fifty  yeara  had  elapsed. 
It  turned  out  to  be  true,  so  far  as  his  body  Wiis 
concerned.  His  grave  and  the  temple  that  adorned 
It,  a  small  conic^d  building,  were  sold  with  the 
whole  estate  to  John  Kyland,  Elsq.  ;  after  him  his 
son,  Samuel  Ryland,  Esq.,  possessed  it.  He  de- 
mised it  to  Mr.  Gibbon  for  a  long  term,  who  cut  a 
canal  through  it,  and  converted  the  land  into 
wharves,  Mr.  Ryland  at  once  removed  the  mau- 
soleum, hut  did  not  disturb  the  ground  beneath 
it.  In  1820  some  'workmen,  di(,;ging  for  gr«ivel, 
discovered  the  lead  coffin,  but  did  not  disturb  it, 
and  only  covered  it  in  again.  In  J  [ay,  1821,  the 
Kpot  was  required  to  build  upon,  and  the  lead  coffin 
wus  removed  into  the  warehouse  close  by,  and 
opened  for  the  inspection  of  the  curious.  The 
bi>dy  was  in  a  singular  state  of  preservation,  wrapt 
in  a  linen  shroud  still  perfect  and  white.  On  the 
breast  of  the  corpse  still  lay  a  wreath  of  laurel, 
faded,  but  entire,  W.  G.  Ward,  F.H.H.S. 

In  a  letter  to  Horace  Walpole,  dated  Nov.  2, 
1702,  and  asking  for  his  patronage,  Baakerville 
says  I— 

^  '*  Ab  the  pAtron  ainJ  cncouragor  of  the  arts,  a:  d  par- 
tieularly  of  printing,  I  have  taken  the  liberty  of  imding

i  Atn  be»rtVj  tired  of  and  wish  1  had  never  attempted. ' 


Ba.'ikerville  was  nither  peculiar  in  his  opinioD^. 
The  inscription  which  he  prepared  for  his  fonenl 
urn  ran  as  follows  : — 

*'Stran)arer !     Beneath    thts    cone,    in    tin  ^

and  the  wicked  arta  of  prietthood." 

His  residence,  Baskerville  House,  which  kid 
come  into  the  possession  of  Mr.  J.  By  bind*  was 
burnt  during  the  Birmingham  riots  of  July,  1701, 
His  widow  relinquished  the  printing  business  in 
April,  1775,  Baskerville  having  died  in  tlie  pre- 
vious January,  but  continued  the  type-fountiui^ 
until  February,  1777.  Many  efforts  had  been 
ma^le  tu  dispose  of  the  type*,  but  no  purchaittr 
waa  found  till  177l>,  when  M.  de  Boaiimarcbftis 
bou'iht  the  whole.  I  gather  the  above  from  as 
article  headed  "Eminent  Printers — John  B«- 
kerville,"  in  the  PrinUr»'  Re(fi4UT  for  Jan,  f, 
18TC.  J.  R.  Thorsb. 

Beaumarcbuis  was  the  editor,  not  the  printer 
(with  Baskerville's  types),  of  Voltaire's  (Surrtt^a 
70  vols.,  and  the  edition  ranks  by  no  means  ht^ 
for  correctness,  Beriuniarchais,  immensely  otbl'^ 
wise  occupied,  having  probably  committed  tll# 
revifiion  for  the  press  to  some  incompetent  or  rarp- 
less  person.  The  fflio  edition  of  Biisken illc'» 
Bible  i 3  not  a  scarce  book.  I  recently  saw  a 
^ood  clean  copy,  priced  at  2tM.,  in  a  furaitc 
warehouse  ;  and  an  intelligent  young  hooksell 
Mr.  Gee,  of  the  High  Street,  Oxford,  informed 
that  a  copy  can  be  procured  for  considerably  k 
than  that  sura. 

After   1765   little   or  nothing  isaned  from

The  Wise  Woman  or  Wino  (5»»»  S,  v.  4.)— The 
notes  of  CriunKRT  Bedb  have  crenei-ally  a  health  Vj 
£re»h,  and  invigorating  :iir  about  them,  redolent  of 
green  fields  and  hinea  far  away  from  the  toil  and 
trouble  of  a  manufacturing  town  ;  this  hy  the 
way,  however.  ^*  Kevenons  a  nos  nioatons,"  The 
account  of  the  Wise  Woman  of  Wing  is,  I  am  in- 
fonued^  in  no  wise  e3ta|E;j;erated  :  her  fame  spread 
far  and  wide,  and  thouf^h  no  doubt  simple  medi- 
cines .tnd  moderate  regimen  were  the  true  .secret 
of  her  innumerable  cures,  a  belief  in  ber  super- 
naturcd  powers  had  a  great  deal  to  do  with  the 
notoriety  she  obtained. 

A  lady  gives  me  (to  the  best  of  her  recollection) 
the  following  account  of  an  ijitervicw  she  hud  with 
the  Wv&t  AVoman  nearly  twenty  years  ago  : —

t.i  g^t  buck  (he  same  evening.  To  my  Burpiise,  on

near  the  Tillage,  to  o^cure  an  early  audience  the  follDw-

wnul.l  be  no  chdncc  of  our  uniting  back  tliat  night,  if  we

This  reception  was,  to  sjiy  the  least,  startling;  but  wc 
held  OMt  pc  ice  ;  the  woraan  and  tbe  place  awed  us.  A 
c<>n«Q)ta.tic>n  followed,  and  booq  ertded ;  certain  largo 
Unities,  or  JAfS,  of  mixtur<»  were  brought  borne,  and  re-

or  indifferent.  "Sly  father's  morbid  fancy  tias  appealed. 
One  of  my  f  tatera  died  ten  years  after,  but  not  of  con-

"TUE  FINEST  TEW  TREE  IN  En'GLAND"  (S'*"  S,  T. 

308.)— The  yew  of  Darley  Bale,  Derbyshire,  to 
which  Mr.  Ouarlks  Cox  draws  our  attention, 
may  be  the  finest  now  existinjr  in  England,  being 
** closely  approximating  to  thirty-two  feet  in  cir- 
cumference." I  believe,  however,  thiit  I  am  not 
wrong  in  claiming  for  Scotland  the  largest  yew 
that  hiV9  ever  existed,  or  at  least  that  bfis  been 
noticed  in  print.  It  is  now  a  mere  wreck,  though 
still  exhibiting  something  of  its  original  size.  I 
refer  to  the  noted  yew  of  Fortingal,  a  pariah  in 
the  mountainous  region*  of  Perthshire,  which  i^ 
mentioned  by  Decandolle,  the  French  nntunilist, 
and  reckoned  by  him  2,.'j(h>  years  old.  Huinbokit 
fitatc3  that,  in  Strutt'a  magnificent  work  on  Forest 
Trees,  there  is  a  sketch  of  the  tree,  to  which  some 
of  your  correspondents  may  be  able  to  refer,  and 
tell  U3  what  h  there  said  by  Stratt.  Some  yeara 
ago  I  wrote  to  the  Rev.  D.  Campbell,  the  minister 
of  the  prirnh,  to  inquire  in  what  state  the  yew  then 
Wits,  and  I  received  the  fullowing  answer  : — 

"  Of  the  Portin|^Ekl  yew  only  a  wreck  remains,  very  in- 
teroAting  indeed  In  appearance,  but  scarcely  admitting 
of  any  proper  measurements,  or  indeed  of  any  sati&fac- 
tory  description  by  feet  merely.  Tbe  original  tree, 
which  meaaurcd  fifty-six  f^et  in  circumference^  his  long 
ti^o  become  two,  and  these  two  have  now  got  to  be  but 
flbolla.  There  are  still  fresh  shoota  springing  out  of  the 
<jld  trunks,  and,  indeed^  about  where  of  old  was  the 
centre  of  the  tree,  i  new  root  has  apning  op  out  of  the 
ground  and  become  a  prowth  of  caiisiderable  siae.  There 
waf  a  very  old  ecclesiastical  eatabliahment  at  the  spot." 

Some  time  ago  the  HIgldand  Society  issued 
queries  and  published  reports  on  the  age  and  size 
of  our  oldest  Scottish  trees.  Can  any  of  your 
correapondenU  refer  to  these  reports,  and  see  what 
is  said  of  tliia  Fortingal  yow  tree  ?    Decandolle 


Ctilculates  the  age  of  thia  tree  to  be  2.5tH>  years. 
Oow  did  he  arrive  at  this  conclusion?  From  a 
calculation  I  once  made  aa  to  the  vptIv  .'r^wth  of 
yew  trees,  baaed  on  one  in  Guilsfi-  iiard, 

in   Montgomeryshire,  the  age  of  wii  Down, 

I  made  out  that  tbe  yew  hos  an  average  growth  of 
four  feet   in   one  hundred  years,  so  that,  if  we 
could  suppose  that  there  was  no  decrease  of  growtk  i 
as  it  increased  in  years,  tliis  Fortingal  tree  woiUdl 
be  1,4<X>  years  old.     I  suspect,  however,  aa  thij 
tree  advances  in  oge,  it  will  juid  le^a  and  leas  eveij 
year  to  its  circumference,  and  therefore  thia  cd^a- 
lation  of  mine  cannot  be  correct.     Hus  thi&  qae*« 
tion  aa  to  tbe  growth  of  yews  ever  been  caremUj 
investigated?  C.  T.  IIauaoje. 

The  accurate  circumference  of  the  Darley  yew 
is  given  as  thirty-three  feet,  five  feet  from  thftj 
ground,  and  its  age  is  estimated  at  about  2,0tXI^ 
year*.  Though  popularly  believed  to  be  the  huTge< 
and  oldest  yew  tree  in  the  kingdom,  there  are 
others  fitill  standing  which  are  said  f^  hnvp  a 
greater  circumference,  thirty-seven  feet  I 
as  of  that  in  the  churchyard  of  Tisbury,  T 
while  the  celebrated  tree  in  Fortingid  Churc 
in  Perthshire,  is  stated  to  measure  fifty 
and  a  half.  Perhaps  the  largest  on  record  U' 
which  once  stood  at  Hensor,  in  Bucks,  the  ci 
ference  of  which  has  been  given  at  eigbty-oi

will  she  or  lie  be  good  enough  to  gtatc  how,  when, 
and  where  the  charge  was  proved?  Ah  your* 
readers  arc  aware,  similar  charges  have  been  frc- 
miently  truuipcd  up  agiiinst  the  author  of  Tfie 
Raven;  but  hitherto,  upon  examination,  they  have 
been  proved  utterly  false.  Speaking  with  a  full 
knowledge  of  Poe's  life  and  character,  I  emphatically 
deny  that  he  Wiis  "a  moat  unprincipled  man." 

Wliilst  ftlluding  to  Philadtlpbia  authors  and 
plai^rijirism,  can  any  of  your  readers  solve  tbia 
puy.7,le  for  me  ?  In  1831,  according  to  the  title- 
pfige,  Mr.  Thomas  T.  Stoddart,  a  centlenuin  by 
no  means  unknown  to  fame,  published  in  Edin- 
burgh a  poem  styled  The  Ikath-Wah^i  or^ 
Luna^jf,  a  Kerrovmitnt :  in  Three  Chimeras.  In 
1842  the  same  poem,  rahodm  d  Utcratim.'wa:^^^ 
ropubliKhed  at  Philadelphia,  in  Graham^s  Jaagc^^ 
zhuj  aa  ^^Agathd;  a  Xccromauni:  in  Thrts 
Ckiviom.  By  Loui*  Fitzgerald  Tusistro."  The 
latter  claimant,  I  beli^jve,  lb  still  living,  and  Mr. 
Stoddart,  I  am  glad  to  know,  is,  so  there  is  a 
prospect  of  the  pujizle  being  solved.

(5***  S.  V.  2l»8.)— Poor  Logan's  memory  has  been 
much  vilified.    He  htts  been  accused  of  phiginriam, 
duplicity,  and  other  crimes.     The  beautiful  "  Ode 
to  the  Cuckoo  **  hua  also  been  claimed  for  Jlicha^l^ 
Bruce  by  over-zealous  friends.     But  Mt*  Davit 
Ltiing,  of  the   Signet  Library,  Edinburgh,  in   a 
little  pamphlet  which  he  privately  printed  several 
years  ago,  has  accumulated  an  overwhelming  body 
of  evidence,  both  positive  and  negative,  vindica- 
ting the  undoubted  right  of  the  Rev.  John  Logan 
to  be  the  author  not  only  of  the  "Ode  to   the 
Cuckoo,"  but  of  the  hymns  or  paraphrases  which 
appear  in  the  collection  used  by  the  Kirk  of  Scot-^

T.  B.  Coii.vocAiLLB.— The  following  castf  fully  nnswers 
the  query.  In  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII.,  Mr.'Winibieh 
claimed  the  dignity  of  Baron  of  Talboys,  by  right  of  hit 
wife  Elizabeth,  who  had  succeeded  to  the  bnrony. 
Whereupon  it  wa*  Bolcmnly  decided,  the  King^  being  pre- 
sent, "  that  no  mmn,  husband  of  a  barones/.  should  use 
the  title  of  ber  dignity  until  he  had  a  child  by  her, 
whereby  ho  should  become  UnafU  by  courtcsie  of  Iier 
barony."

EARLY  BTAGE  SCENEUY. 
iresting  chapter  will  some  dny  be  written 
influence  of  the  early  Italian  sti;;e  upon 
Iram.a,  In  matters  relating  to  theatrical 
^he  furheria  ddla  stena,  it  wiJl  probably 
that  tluB  influence  was  more  considerable 
k  thAD  is  usually  Buspected. 

of  the  Itfdian  architects  have  inci- 
reated  of  stAgc  scenery  and  effccta.  The 
I  the  ArtJntctinra  of  Sebastian  Serlio 
Ips,  the  most  intiresting  to  ns^  for  the 
Well  known  and  appreciated  here  in  Eliza- 
lie*',  and  has  indeeH  left  pertnanent  traces 
luence  upon  the  Englitih  architectore  of 

pke  edition  of  1584 — the  only  one  in  my 
\ — has  three  woodcuts  of  sluge  scenery, 
^rnira,'*  **Scena  Tni;i:ica/'  and  **Scena 

representing'  re^iitctivrly  the  plaza  of  a 
;>up  of  pn laces  i^nd  stately  building^i,  and 
^d  scene. 

book  was  translated  in  ICll  by  Robert 
bo  hiw  trprodnced,  with  a  few  variations, 
ff  the  original.  In  the  portion  of  his  work 
ft  thcatrea  the  tnin^^lntor  haa  unfortunately 
jum^lf  to  a  tolerably  faithful  rendering 
thoT.  We  could  well  have  pardoned  any 
le  which  would  haye  thrown  light  upon 
ice  of  bis  own  time.    The  following  is 

m. 


Peake's  tnmslation  of  the  chapters  relating  to 
scenery  : — 

*'  Thiji  first  shall  be  Comicall.  wbereaa  tho  houfes  iniut 
be  aligbt  for  Cittzen9,  but  BpeeiaJljr  tbere  mtut  not  vrant 
a  br&wthell  or  bawdy  houae.  and  a  Kreat  Inne,  ami  n 
Cburch ;  such  th\tig*  w©  «f  iMcenetle  to  bo  therein. 
How  bo  rajae  these  houees  from  the  ^rro^"^  *^*  suiIiL*ientIy 
expremed.  and  how  you  shall  place  the  Horizon  :  never* 
thelesae,  that  you  maybe  tho  bett4?r  instructed  (touching 
the  former  of  these  housed)  I  hare  here  set  down  a 
Fig^ure,  for  aatisfiictionof  thoM  tbat  take  pleHSiire  (here- 
in ;  but  bccttuac  this  Figure  is  so  8i«aU,  therein  I  could 
not  observe  all  the  meaaiurea,  but  refer  them  to  inven- 
tion, that  thereby  you  nrny  ohuse  or  niaVe  botiies  which 
skew  well,  u  an  open  Galltr?,  or  !r>dTe  throujrh  the 
which  you  may  see  another  hou'ie.  The  hanginj:^  over 
or  fthooting  out,  fhow  well  in  fhortening  worke,  wnd  s^mio 
ComiceH  cut  out  at  the  ends :  accompaDicd  with  tome 
others  that  are  painted,  show  well  in  worke :  so  doe  the 
booses  which  have  greiit  bc»rtnfr  out,  like  lodgings  or 
Chambers  for  men,  and  especialty  above  all  things,  you 
must  set  tho  enmlest  bousea  bo  fore,  that  you  may  sec 
other  houses  over  or  above  them,  m  you  tee  it  hero  above 
the  bawdy  house:  (or  If  you  phioe  the  grratest  before, 
and  the  rest  behind  &ti!l  lewen,  then  the  place  of  the 
Scene  would  not  be  »o  well  tllle  J,  Mid  nlthou^h  these  thin^ 
upon  the  one  nidc  te  mode  all  upon  one  A -ore  :  Nercrthe* 
iesse,  for  that  you  place  great  part  of  the  M>;liti  in  the 
middle,  hanging  over  the  i^ene  t>r  ScitfTuld^  therifure  it 
would  i^nd  better  if  the  floore  in  the  midat  wei-e  token 
away,  and  nil  the  roundels  and  Quadraiis  nrliich  yon  see  in 
the  Buildingn,  they  urearUliciall  llgbt^  cutting  through,  of 
diTcrs  colors;  which  to  make  I  nlll  i^hew  the  niianner  ia 
the  last  of  tliia  Booke.  The  wiadoucs  wbich  stand  bO' 
fore,  were  good  to  be  made  of  Oloa^e  or  Paper,  with  light 
l>ehind  them.  But  if  I  should  bore  write  all  that  I  know 
to  serve  for  this  workc,  it  would  be  orerlong  to  rehearse  ; 
therefore  I  referre  that  to  the  wit  and  discre^sion  of 
those  that  exercise  and  practise  themsdvea  hecrein." 

The  woodcut  of  **  Scena  Comica  "  is  full  of  in- 
terest for  the  ShakBpearc  student,  and  might  sen^e 
for  a  repreeenttttion  of  the  street  of  Mytilenc  in 
the  borddlo  scene  of  FcHcUi,  with  the  eatablish- 
ment  of  Boult's  mistress  (conspicuously  Inljclled) 
aa  the  chief  feature  of  the  foreground. 

"  Houses  for  Tra|{cdieB,  must  be  made  for  ^reat  per- 
5ona{;cH,  for  that  actions  of  love,  strange  adventures,  and 
crucH  murthcrs  (as  you  reade  in  ancient  andmodeme

Tbe  followioe  eurioua  poem  is  from  a  sni^  col- 
lection of  broad  si  dea  that  has  lately  come  into  JSJ 
possession.  It  was  printed  in  1G€3,  and  gir&i 
papbic  picture  of  the  itate  of  trade  at  the  period 
it  wua  written. 

The  long  gloom  which  saddened  "  Menip  oM 
England,"  and  crippled  its  trade,  had  paased  iwtf, 
but  it  was  Bome  time  after  the  restontioa  k

themselves.  The  complaint  of  the  tradestntQ  ji 
no  new  thing,  and  poor  Mr«  Brokeman  had  doubt'

Both  which  are  fled,  and  left's  in  d««pentieD, 
Which  ts  the  Subject  of  this  Lnntcntation.

For  to  recount  their  mliery,  I  protest

Ung  a  Parliaatent  to  assemble  at  London 
Ith  March  following,  was  issued  to  ten

of  the  Ej^rl  of  Cornwall,  to  wboni  the

however,  trace  in  the  writ  {Pari.  Writs,  L  79)  more 
than  seventy-DtDe  barona  aa  bein^  summoned  bj

seventy-four  barons,  five  beinff  wanting,  i.e.  be-

circumBtanoe  of  tbe  absence  of  the  names  and  arms 
of  these  persona  from  the  Roll  may  have  arisen  in 
many  ways.  And  with  respect  to  the  copy  of  it  made

secuis  little  to  warrant  us  assuming  otherwise 
ihEiU  that  tbey  were  altogether  wanting  in  the

that  the  succeeding  RoUa  are  all  more  or  less  defi-

I  Uiulually  exclusive  of  each  other.  Such 
?crb9  "  to  lull "  and  "  to  disturb,"  *'  to  pull

me  verb  of  each  pair  dt^pcD^sed  with  ;  for

Hill "  may  be  said  to  be  only  the  negAtion

LPSsitEB  Dialect  Book.— Havingrecently 
H  small  pamphlet  relating  to  the  dialect 


of  Oxforduhire,  which  ia  not  given  in  the  biblio* 
fjraphical  list  published  by  the  English  Dialect 
Si>ciety»  and  is  therefore,  presumably,  somewhat 
rare,  I  have  thought  that  a  note  of  it  might  not 
be  without  interest.    The  title-page  reavU  :-—

published  by,  R.  Shorter,  49,  Wjch  Street,  Strand.  Two 
Pence."    6ro,  pp.  8. 

Mr.  R.  Shorter,  the  author,  appears  to  have 
been  an  original,  The  tale^  he  tells  us,  was  written 
and  sent  to  th«  editor  of  a  periodical,  who  seemed 
inclined  to  print  it,  bat  did  not.  The  author, 
therefore,  confided  it  to  the  public  himsel£  Es'ery 
noun  is  printed  with  a  capitid  letter,  and  Mr, 
Shorter  annotmces  that  he  in  about  to  Uaxxq  a  work 
to  show  "  that  this  ancient  Mode  of  Writing  is 
not  only  corre<-t,  but  that  it  is  infiniidtf  nec^MOry  M 
a  Preservation  of  English  Grammar." 

The  diidcctal  value  of  the  tract  ia  not  very  great. 
The  words  ujikt<l^  mun,  and  e-na-stoorc  are  the 
most  curious.  Many  are  simply  mi^{x41ing8. 
The  story  itself,  told  by  a  garmloua  old  woman,  ia 
of  a  maiden  lady  who  mjule  it  "a  right  regular 
Rule  every  Kight  before  her  goes  ofl*  to  Bed  to  yeat 
a  roasted  Apple  ;  and  whilst  ho  be  a  roostin  afore 
the  Fire  her  do  sometimes  talk  to^n  as  thaugh  he 
waa  a  livin  Man."  This  haliit  saves  her  house 
from  robbery  by  two  thieve-?,  who,  whilst  peeping 
through  the  wmdow,  hear  her  talk  in  a  manner 
which  seems  to  them  to  show  a  full  acquaintance 
with  their  plot,  whilst  in  reality  she  ia  merely 
soliloquizing  to  the  apples.  The  result  is  thiit  th^ 
»elf-convicted  rogue*  are  "  clapped  into  the  Blind- 
House,  next  Momin  brought  afore  Mr.  Maw  worm 
the  Pa'son  o'  the  Parish,  and  Juitm  o' 
the  Pace,"  and  sent  to  Oxford  Caatio  in 
expectation  of  being  "  tucked  up."  The  tale 
reminds  one  of  the  Eastern  etory  immortalized  in 
Lever's  (Pac  of  Thcnu  There  must  be  a  great 
dearth  of  dialect  literature  in  Oxfordshire,  for  this 
tract  appears  to  be  all  th  it  hm  been  written  ia 
the  folk-speech  of  the  county.

Courts  of  Sewehs. — In  Chmnher^s  Joumatf 
April  10,  1875,  is  a  taW  called  "The  Little  Old 
Gentleman."  It  is  supposed  to  have  been  told 
at  a  meeting  of  a  Court  of  8ewer».  Two  commis- 
sioners only,  and  their  olerk,  are  represented  aa 
forming  the  court,  and  we  sire  informed  that  they 
were  bound,  by  Act  of  Parliament,  to  ait  till  two 
oVlock. 

The  writer  ia  mistaken  in  supposing  that  any 
Act  of  Parliament  mjdtes  it  needful  for  the  court 
to  sit  till  two.  He  is  aUo  in  error  aa  to  the  for- 
mation of  the  court.  Six  commissioners,  not  two, 
are  needed,  as  the  following  quotation  fratu  W<»\.-

was  owing  to  the  front  and  buck  wheeb  of  the 
cart-wfig^ons  being  constructed  with  a  horizonhd 
movement  underneath,  and  independent  of  the 
wajj(,'on.  Thu9»  the  wheels  not  being  rigidly  fixed 
to  the  waggon,  it  was  enabled  to  wheel  round  the 
sharpest  curve,  and  to  face  a  per.sfnv  when  he  least 
expected  it,  just  aa  a  spirit  or  goblin  might  be  ex- 
pected to  do.  ^30,  when  the  "  canny  "  minera  of 
NewcastieoD-Tyne  fir;4  saw  a  coal-waggon  taming 
round  upon  them,  they  m.ode  use  of  their  north- 
country  word  for  a  goblin,  and  said,  **  It 's  Bogie 
himself !  "  Thia  gave  the  ntime  to  the  coal-wag- 
gons, and  to  tho  bogie  system  ;  nnd  the  pivot  m 
the  centre  of  each  pair  of  wheels  on  which  the 
carriage  rests  is  called  the  bogie-pin.  ^Ir,  Fairlie 
adopted  and  developed  the  bogie  sy&tem,  and  de- 
monstrated its  powers  in  the  compass  of  a  narrow 
cabbage-garden,  at  Hutcham,  October,  186D.  The 
Time*  of  Oct.  If)  and  2ftj  18R9,  gave  an  article,  of 
eight  columns  in  length,  devoted  to  an  elaborate 
description  of  the  bogie  system,  which  it  aU* 
highly  commended  in  a  leading  article,  Oct  21, 
The  ^vriter  said  : — 

**  It  ie  a  tnhtter  of  no  little  ixnportaiice  that  on  the 
railwnyi  of  the  future  we  shoTild  be  able  to  turn  about

iind  make  it  easy,  lilte  the  lubber  fiend  of  tho  fairy  tale 
that  works  for  oi  of  hii  own  good  will.*' 

The  writer  also  speaks  of  Mr.  Fairiie'e  double 
bogie  system,  introduced  on  the  Featiniog  line, 
with  the  two  locomotives,  '* Little  Giant"  and 
"  Little  Wonder,"  and  says,  "  If  Bogie  is  a  name 
of  terror  in  legendary  lore,  it  ought  to  be  a  name 
of  good  cheer  in  railway  annals.  All  hail  to  Bogie." 
The  north-country  word  "  bogie  "  seems  to  be  A 
perversion  of  the  Scottish  h<HfU^  which  in  York-

the  farmer,  mowing  steadily  on.  "  Then  I've  lost 
the  land,"  said  Bogie,  who  knew  that  he  must  not 
sharpen  his  scythe  before  his  advereary  wiis  ready

A  term  at  first  applied,  at  Newcastle,  to  a  coal- 
waggon  or  lorry,  so  constructed  m  to  double  easily 
about  the  quays,  but  now  given  to  railway  loco- 
motives built  so  as  to  be  able  to  take  sudden 
curves.  In  the  bogie  the  wheels  of  an  ordinary 
carciflge  are  represented  by  two  low  powerful 
trnckj^,  with  one  or  more  pairs  of  vvheeU  each. 
On  a  pin,  called  the  bogie-pin  or  perch-bolt,  la  the 
centre  of  each  of  these  trucks  the  carriage  rests, 
and  turns  aa  on  a  swivel.  The  first  engines  on 
this  principle  were  built  by  the  late  Mr.  R. 
Stephenson  for  the  United  States,  where  mil  ways 
frequently  intersect  towns  and  take  comers  of 
Btreets,^  The  bogie  is  likely  to  effect  cons idemble 
iaving  in  the  construction  of  railways  by  obviating 
the  necessity  of  avoiding  curves,  which  was  a  great 
cauje  of  outlay.  James  Hunter.

request  of  your  correapondeat  A.  £.  A,  It  is  wdl 
known  that,  when  the  play  a  of  Shakitpe&re  fint 
appeared,  their  supreme  eieceUence  was  not  ts 
universally  acknowledged  &a  in  oar  time.  Tbtii 
author  was  assailed  by  inanj  noiaj  critics,  wb 
charged  him,  not  only  with  ignonmce  of  what  llhrj 
chose  to  regard  as  the  necessary  laws  or  conditiw 
of  dramatic  art,  hut  also  with  the  une  of  expns- 
SLona  which,  both  in  matter  and  form,  were  uoiil 
accordance  with  the  received  standard  of  tte  i|», 
or  were  sucli  as  we  should  now  call  "  proviDcI*!' 
This  is  evident  from  the  statement  of  thoM  whs 
undertook  his  defence,  and  who  gt^nenilly  ackcov' 
ledged  the  supremacy  of  his  genius.  As  your 
space  is  Hroited,  I  will  only  refer  to  two  ortkff 
instances. 

The  Thmtrnm  Foetarum  wns  written  by  Mit 
ton^s  nephew,  Edward  Phillips,  but  is  commimlf 
suppoaeu  to  have  been  rev  bed  by  Milton,  mi  t*

been  wholly  assigned  to  him.     Therein  he  writd."

I  understand  the  writer  of  this  paasage  to  refe 
to  a  common  objection  of  the  "  critical "  of  bis 
time,  which  he  wishes  to  meet  and  overcome  bj» 
reference  to  excellence  in  other  respect*,  ntht 
than  to  a  deliberate  judgment  of  hb  own,  1^ 
term,  "  unfiled  expreasionsj"  do^s  not  B««m  w 
imply  indecency,  for  the  writer  speiaks  of  Slat' 
apeare's  "  clean  and  unsophisticated  wit,"  but  onlj 
that  some  of  hia  expressions  were  strange  to  luJ 
critical  hearers.  This  charge  seems  also  iniplif^ 
in  the  language  of  Ben  Jonson,  in  the  Fodait^ 
(Act  v.  sc.  1).   Beferring  to  Shakipeare  he  sap:-

The  prophecy  wtth  which  the  passage  endi  ^

«  Crampio:*"  (5"'  S.  iih  3C9  ;  iv.  293,  356,  418,

dis-sertation  npon  this  word,  1  feel  pretty  sure 
that  he  i.^  wron;.:,  and  that  Mr.  Mayiiew,  who 
maintains  the  generally  received  view,  is  riy:ht. 
Ma,  F*iCTON  does  not  jiive  one  iota  of  proof,  or

most  intelleetiial  man  the  world  ever  saw  woidd 
be  worth  absolutely  nothing;. 

I  take  the  real  facts  of  the  caae  to  be  as  followi. 
Tbere  wjis  an  Obi  Enff.  word  icmpe  and  an  Old 
French  word  oimjnon  (see  Bnrgiiy),  which  after- 
wards became  clmmpi&n.  When  these  two  words, 
which  pace  Mr,  Picton  had  very  much  the  same 
nieaninij,  came  into  contact  througrh  the  conquest 
of  England  by  the  Normans,  the  Old  En<(.  ktwpt 
j^^ave  way  to,  and  was  superseded  by,  the  much 
more  Honorous  French  champion  ;  and  it  certainly

Shem,ev  :  HIS  "Sensitive  Plakt"  (5**»  S.  t. 
209.) — The  ditticulty,  if  any,  seems  to  have  arisen 
from  a  corrupt  copy  being  used,  imperfect  and 
wrongly  punctuated.  W©  find  in  Moxon's  1839 
edition,  vol.  iii.  p.  210,  and  in  the  single  voL 
'♦dttion  (of  E.  INIoxon,  Son  &  Co.,  no  date,  but 
about  1870-71),  edited  by  W.  M.  Rassetti,  p.  492, 
a  more  intelligible  version.  It  ia  the  eighteenth 
stanzji  of  firat  part : — 

"  But  the  SensitiTo  Plant,  which  could  gtre  small  fruit 
Of  ttc  love  which  it  felt  from  the  leaf  to  tbo  root, 
ReoeiTcd  more  than  nil ;  it  lovtd  more  than  eTer, 
AVhere  none  wanted  but  it,  could  belong  tu  the  girer : 
For  the  ScnstttTO  Tlaiit  has  no  bright  flower; 
Budiance  and  odour  ore  not  its  dovvcr ; 
It  loTcs  CTon  like  Love,— its  deep  heart  ia  full ; 
It  desires  what  it  has  not,  th«  beautiful.** 

The  meaning  here  seems  not  imintellif^ible.  (1) 
That  it  could  g:ive  small  fruit  [i,e,  proof  or  ni.n,ni- 
festation]  of  the  love  which  it  felt,"  is  explained 
by  the  statement  of  it  bein^  flowerle^s  and  scent- 
leas  ;  (2)  that  it  "received  more  than  all"  the 
other  flowers  in  the  garden,  because  of  its  own 
untitiie  nature  ;  (3)  *'  It  loved  more  [lave]  thnn 
ever  could  belong  to  the  giver  "  of  the  light  and 
warmth,  and  that,  moreover,  "  where  none  wanted 
[i.e.  needed  or  craved  for  the  love]  but  it "  ;  becatise 
it  was  eminently  receptive  of  the  beautiful,  and 
incapable  of  displaying,'  its  gratitude.  Thua  it  ia 
the  verse  speaks  to  me  ;  others  may  find  a  better 
explanation.  The  exquisite  delici\cy  of  Shelley's 
poetical  genius  is  such  that  any  attempt  of  this

I  have  often  heard  old  people,  and  respectable 
ones,  call  ihin  "  bagnet,"  which  seems  a  very  strange 
corruption.  In  1827,  happening  to  be,  for  the 
first  time,  in  London,  I  went  to  see  "  the  lions  " 
at  the  Tower,  The  warder,  who  showed  the  ar- 
moury, proved  himsielf  a  most  ingenious  etymo- 
logist ;  for,  when  jxiinting  out  a  bayonet  of  the 
primitive  jwttem,  he  said,  "  Gentlemen,  this  was 
cidled  a  bayonet  because  it  was  invented  in  Boui' 
deaux."  S.  T.  P.

The  Vampire  (o**»  S.  v.  227,)— I  cannot  refer 
your  correspondent  to  any  "  recent  instance  of  a 
vampire  in  human  shape,"  but  he  may  profitably 
consult  T>r.  Herbert  Mayors  work  on  the  7'ni<A.«» 
roiiiaincd  in  Ponuiar  i^njjtTslitions  (2nd  edit., 
Edin.,  1851).  That  writer,  after  giving  official 
reports  of  the  examination  of  several  corpses, 
which  some  time  after  death  remained  undecom- 
posed,  i\nd  Ptill  contained  blood,  suggests  that  they 
were  persons  who  hnd  been  buried  in  trance^sleep. 
In  Servia  and  Wallnchia  about  1727  there  was  a 
wild  outburst  of  this  horrible  superstition,  and  an 
extensive  literature  speedily  sprang  up  regarding  it, 
William  E.  A.  Axon, 

I  have  a  pamphlet,  pp.  64,  bound  up  with  some 
others,  entitled  "  The  Vampyre^  a  Tale  :  London, 
printed  for  Sherwood,  Neely  &  Jones,  Paternoster 
Row,  1«19  "  (entered  at  Stationers'  Hall,  March  27, 
1819),  which  i.s  attributed  to  Lord  Byron.  He 
alludes  to  the  subject  of  the  vampire,  as  it  may- 
be recollected,  in  T'hc  Giaovr : — 

•*  But  first  on  earth  aa  vampire  sent. 
Thy  corse  shall  from  its  tomb  be  rent: 
Tlien  phnitly  hnunt  thy  native  place, 
And  suck  the  blood  of  all  thy  race."

The  Queen's  New  Designation  (S***  S.  t.

"William  III.  wisely  left  (the  designation  of) 
*  Great  Britain '  alone,  and  wrote  himself  *  King  of 
England,  Scotland,'  &c."  If  G.  E.  C,  however, 
will  refer  to  that  king's  coinage,  before  the

"  As  DRUNK  AS  mice"  {b^^  S.  V.  228,  314,  358.) 
— It  is  evident  that  the  origin  of  this  phrase  has 
no  reference  to  mice  or  rats,  which  never  get 
drunk,  having  neither  chance  nor  inclination  to 
invade  the  prerogative  of  a  vice  that  is  man's  (and 
woman'ti)  alone,  and  that  an  explanation  must 
be  sought  in  philology,  rather  than  in  zoology, 
of  a  saying  that  must  once  have  had  a  mean- 
ing. The  phrase  dates  from  a  period  anterior 
to  the  Shakspearian  era,  when  British  or  Celtic 
words  were  still  current  among  tlie  people,  long 
after  their  roots  had  ceased  to  be  understood.  1 
sup[gest  for  the  consideration  of  philologists  and 
Celtic  scholars  that  the  etymon  of  mice  in  this 
phrase  is  the  Gaelic  miosaj  the  worse  or  worst, 
and  that  "  drunk  as  mice "  means  "  drunk  as 
miosa"  i.e.  drunk  as  "  the  worst  of  them,"  or  very 
drunk  indeed.  Charles  Mack  ay.

London  Directories  (S^"*  S.  v.  228.)— The 
original  edition  of  the  first  attempt  at  a  London 
Directory  is  of  great  rarity.  It  appeared  in  1C77 
with  the  following  title : — 

"  A  Collection  of  the  Names  of  the  Merchants  living 
in  and  about  the  City  of  London ;  very  uaefuU  and  neces- 
sary ;  carefully  collected  for  the  Benefit  of  all  Dealers

A  copy  was  sold  at  the  sale  of  the  library  of  the 
late  Sir  W.  Tite  at  Sotheby's,  on  May  28,  1874.

Coin  of  Queen  Elizabeth  (5t»»  S.  v.  228.)  — 
In  Ending's  AnnaU  of  the  Coinage  of  Britain, 
Supplement,  Part  IL  Plate  III.,  date  1819,  an 
engraving  is  given  of  the  fragment  alluded  to.  In 
a  note  upon  it.  Ending  says  :— 

"  •  It  is  a  fragment  of  one  of  her  last  Broad  Pieces,  re- 
presenting her  horridly  old  and  deformed.  An  entire 
coin  irith  this  image  is  not  known.  It  ii  universally  mjt- 
posed  that  the  die  was  broken  by  bet  commsiud,  and 
that  iome  woTkmwa.  of  the  Mint  cut  out  Ocl\«  moTu\ 


which  contains  barely  the  face '  ( Walpole  ■  Rv/ti.  end 
NvhU  AtUhort,  vol.  i.  p.  126,  in  the  first  edium; 
p.  142  in  the  second).  The  piece  was  porchaaed  from 
the  cabinet  of  the  late  Earl  of  Oxford." 

In  the  year  1842  the  collectLons  formed  at  Str&v- 
berry  Hill  by  Horace  Walpole  were  sold  by  order 
of  the  Earl  of  Waldegrave.  In  the  magnificeat 
illustrated  catalogue  then  printed  is  the  foUowisg 
notice  (Tenth  day's  sale,  p.  104):— "No.  8.  A 
fragment  of  a  gold  coin  of  Elizabeth's,  very  extra- 
ordinary portrait,  vide  Buding's  Supplemest, 
Plate  III.,  engraved  from  this  identical  piece, 
unique." 

The  copy  from  which  I  am  quotins  belonged  t« 
my  grandfather,  William  Boyd,  bamLer,  of  Nev- 
castle-on-Tyne,  himself  a  devoted  collector  of 
books  and  coins,  and  it  contains  his  notes  ind 
prices  in  MS.  On  this  piece  he  remarks  :- 
"Bought  in  1742"  (by  Horace  Walpole  from  the 
Earl  of  Oxford,  I  suppose)  "for  4L  4«.  ;  1842,  sold 
for  35  guineas  to  British  Museum." 

The  engraving  shows  that  the  piece  has  been  cat 
with  care,  so  as  to  abstract  as  much  gold  as  possilde 
without  destroying  the  least  bit  of  the  portrait

— The  Jesuits  must  not  be  allowed  to  monopolize 
the  credit  or  infamy  of  supposing  that  those  who 
are  saved  will  behold  with  pleasure  the  agony  of 
the  lost.  The  same  opinion  is  held,  ni  fallor,  by 
that  eminent  Protestant,  Mr.  President  Jonathan 
Edwards.  These  rival  Christians  might  have  re- 
membered that,  although  Abraham  bolicld  his 
"  son "  Dives  tormented  in  that  flame,  he  is  not 
Baid  to  have  derived  any  satisfaction  from  the 
spectacle.  A.  J.  M. 

Rev.  John  TnoMSON,  of  Duddikgston  (5**>  S. 
iv.  309,  395),  was  the  firist  Scottish  laudsciipe 
painter  of  his  day.  He  died  in  1840,  aged  sixty- 
two  years.  The  following  extract  concerning  his 
productions  may  prove  interesting  to  some  readers, 
made  from  the  inimitable  Nodes  Amhrosiano' : — 

**  Xorih.  5Ir.  Thomson,  of  DwMinRston,  is  now  our 
greatest  landscape  pairiter  {i.e.  in  li>->0).  In  what  sullen 
skies  he  sometimes  sluidcs  the  solitary  moors. 

*'  ifhepherd.  And  wi'  what  blinks  o'  beauty  he  aftcn 
brings  out  frae  beneath  the  clouds  the  spire  o'  some 
jMutoral  parish  kirk  till  you  feel  it  is  the  Sabbuth  ! 

"  yorth.  Time  and  decay  crumbling;  his  c:istles  seem 
to  be  warring  against  the  very  living  rock,  and  we  feel 
their  endurance  in  their  desolation. 

"  Shepherd.  I  never  look  at  his  roariu'  rivers  wi'  a' 
their  precipices  without  thinkin',  some  hoo  or  ithcr,  o' 
Sir  William  Wallace  !  They  scorn  to  bclang  to  an  un- 
conquerable country. 

*'  Xorth.  Yes,  James  !  be  is  a  patriotic  pninter.  Moor, 
mountain,  and  glen,— castle,  bull,  and  hut,— all  breathe 
sternly  or  sweetly  o'  auld  Sootlind.  So  do  his  seas  and 
his  firths— roll,  roar,  blackvn,  and  whiten,  with  Cale- 
donia—from the  Mull  of  Galloway  to  Cape  Wrath.  Or 
when  summer  stillness  is  upon  them,  are  not  all  the  soft; 
shadowy  pastoral  hills  Scottish,  that  in  their  still  trans- 
parency invert  their  summits  in  the  tran.<figurin>;  magic 
of  the  far  sleeping  mainT' — WiUou's  Wurls,  vol.  ii.  p.  332. 

Sir  Thomas  Dick  Lauder,  in  his  charming  book, 
Sottish  liivcrSf  thus  speaks  of  his  friend  Mr. 
Thomson,  who  was  also  a  skilled  mu.sician,  as  well 
as  an  admirable  artist  and  exemplary  minister  : — 

"  In  his  parish  he  was  warm'y  esteemed  for  his  docds 
of  Christian  kindness  nnd  charity  ;  but,  by  the  world  at 
large,  he  was  chiefly  known  by  the  exquisite  landscapes 
he  painted,  which,  in  regard  to  composition  and  colour- 
ing, were  alwavs  full  of  the  highe.^t  poetical  in)fl<;ination 
and  feeling.  1*0  this  day  he  stands  unrivalled  in  these 
particular*."— P.  27. 

Any  one  who  ha.s  ever  seen  any  of  the  land- 
scapes of  this  most  distinguislied  of  Scottish  artists 
will  at  once  unhesitiitingly  endorse  these  criticisms 
as  most  graphic  and  true,  and  say  that  he  was,  a? 
Christopher  N'orth  observes,  "  a  patriotic  painter."

The  Title  "Gentleman"  (.V>>  S.  iii.  489  ;  iv. 
316,  619.)— Smith  r.  Cheese,  the  case  cited  by 


your  correspondent  at  the  last  reference,  is  now 
reported  in  the  regular  reports.  See  Law  i^rk, 
1  C.  P.  D.  60 ;  S.C  Law  Timet  Btporii,  uxiil 
(x.s.)  671.  It  appears  clearly  from  these  repoiQ 
that  it  would  be  an  error  to  sux3pose  that  the  Coo- 
mon  Pleas  Division  in  any  sense  decided  npon  tb 
question  of  the  right  to  the  title.  All  that  Smith 
V.  Cheese  decides  is  that  an  attesting  witness  to  i 
bill  of  sale,  who  has  been  a  proctor^s  clerk,  andii 
now  of  no  occupationi  may  be  sufficiently  desciibei 
in  his  affidavit  as  "  gentleman  "  to  satisfy  the  pn- 
visions  of  17  &  18  Vict.  c.  36.  But  the  Coozt 
firuarded  itself  from  being  supposed  to  say  that  be 
had  a  right  to  the  title.     Thus  Archibald'  J.  aan: 

"  All  the  oaMS  seem  to  proceed  on  the  same  principle 
vii.,  that  if  a  perion  has  no  occupation  it  it  lufficient  to 
give  his  name  and  residence ;  ana  the  addition  of  'ftT,Ct 
man/  if  that  description  is  not  so  {grossly  inapplicable  ii 
comnjon  parlance  as  to  mislead,  will  do  no  haruL" 

And  Lindley  J,  said  : — 

"  If  the  party  has  an  occupation,  it  must  be  correeSj 
described ;  if  he  has  none,  it  does  not  folluw  thit  ik 
description  '  ftentleman '  is  proper,  but  if  such  aidinn 
is  not  80  far  inapplicable  to  the  rank  of  societj  iu  vhie'i 
ho  moves  as  to  mislead,  the  bill  of  sale  wiil  mi  k 
avoided  if  it  be  employed."

The  Arithmetic  of  the  ArocALTrsE  '5'*S. 
iii.  26,  153  ;  iv.  172,  236,  275,  318.)— Mr.  Wm 
slij^htly  misiipprehends  me,  I  used  the  words  *^'a 
represented  by,"  not  the  words  "  is  equal  to,"*  when 
speaking  of  606  and  999.  Numbers  in  the  *mi 
scale  have  only  a  mystical  relation  to  one  another; 
numbers  in  differing  scales  hare  also  an  ariih- 
metical  relation.  Thus  1260,  in  the  septecaj 
scale,  is  equal  to  1800  in  the  decimal,  as  both  om- 
tain  the  same  number  of  units  of  their  sopsni* 
scales.  But  606  bears  the  same  relation  to  777  is 
the  septenary  that  999  bears  to  liXX)  in  the  deci- 
mal. The  imperfect  number  approache.s  the  ptf- 
feet  number  by  three  several  gmdations  of  volae, 
but  never  reaches  it.  Of  course  any  polemiol 
hint  as  to  the  true  interpretation  of  the  Apoo- 
lypse  would  be  wholly  out  of  place  in  the  columas 
of  "  N.  &  Q."  Mr.  Ward  must,  therefore,  allow 
me  simply  to  refer  him  to  the  twelfth  chapter  rf 
the  book,  which  is  the  key  to  the  entire  proplwcr. 
He  will  there  see  that  a  world-power  claiming  to  be 
divine,  but  which  is  not,  rises  from  amonjr^i  tlie««4 
of  natIon.<<,  and  bears  rule  for  a  long  period.  Tb 
mystical  arithmetical  sicrn  of  that  power  is  666, 
and  the  period  of  its  high-handed  rule,  claimed  to 
be  the  true  millennium  (or  reign  of  heaven  on  earth), 
is,  in  fact,  the  false  millennium.  Hence  iis  perioil 
is  expressed  by  999,  or  its  number  by  666.  LaatK, 
whatever  £lliot  and  the  thousand  other  coznmci' 
tators  may  say,  the  book  itself  plainly  and  i«- 
peatcdly  states  that  the  1260  days  cover  the  cntira 
period  of  the  woman's  exile  in  the  wildemesi.

Rev,  Hoeace  Salusdurt  Cotton  (5*^  S.  v. 
167,  234)  was  formerly  Ordinary  of  Newgate,  from 
which  pmt  he  retired  in  1838,  when  his  valuable 
library,  including  books  on  angling,  was  sold.  He 
died  at  Reigato  in  1846,  and  waa  buried  in  the 
family  vault  in  the  pariah  church  there.  Ho  left 
two  daugliters,  who  kept  u  small  school  in  the 
neighbourhood,  at  Dover's  Green.  His  son  Lynch, 
who  inherited  bis  fathers  taatc  for  collecting, 
entered  the  service  of  Messrs.  Graves,  Pall  Mall, 
and  died  some  years  ago.  Another  son,  George, 
was  in  the  navy  ;  a  younger  son,  Stapleton  Cotton,

poem  has  now  been  before  the  re^iders  of  "N.  &  Q." 
more  than  a  year.  It  has  made  the  circuit  of  the 
world,  and  come  buck  to  England.  A  few  words 
more  are,  however,  desirable.  The  original  state- 
ment was  to  the  etfect  that,  in  the  fij*at  edition  of 
Gray'fl  Ekg^  there  was  a  stanssa,  never  subse- 
quently printed,  which  may  be  called  the  Lais 
stanza.  In  order  to  complete  this  note  we  ought, 
to  know  what  ib  meant  by  the  term  "  first  edition." 
Gilbert  Wakefield,  in  his  Lift  of  Gray^  1780,  says 
that  the  poem  first  found  its  way  into  pubUc 
through  the  Magatinc  of  Magazinc^^  a  dioj^race- 
ful  mode  of  api)ean\nce.  Gray,  writing  to  Wolpole, 
Feb.  11,  1751,  knew  that  it  was  being  printed  for 
that  mag.ozine,  and  asked  Walpole  to  get  Doddey 
to  print  it  forthwith.  This  Dodsley  did,  an<l  Gray 
wrote  to  WsdpoK  thanking  him,  on  Fcbmnry  2(> ; 
but  saying  that  Dodaloy  had  "given  it  a  pinch  or 
two  in  the  cr;ullc."  Very  soon  after  this  It  was 
reprinted  by  Dodsley  with  Gray's  corrections  j 
who,  writing  to  Walpole  on  March  3,  says  that 
the  chief  corrections  were  in  the  spelling  of  three 
words  (Mitford's  Gray,  ii.  i>p.  210-14). 

There  were  then,  in  fact,  three  iirst  editions : 
that  in  the  magazine;  Dodsley's  first— neither  of 
which  Gray  had  seen ;  and  Dodsley's  second,  which 
was  Gray's  fir*t  .'mtheulic.  In  which  of  these 
three  did  the  Lms  atanzji  appear?  If  tht»  ver^e 
^  was  an  accidental  interpolation,  it  is  remarkable

SWIPT  AND  STELLA. 

Id  the  above  names  there  ia  an  interest  which 
nercr  tlagu,  bccnuBe  there  ia  a  mystery  the  heart  of 
which  has  not  hitherto  been  reached.  A  remark- 
able article,  however,  in  tho  May  number  of 
f"  '  todj  goes  very  nearly,  if  not  quite,  to  the 
rig  of  the  crp^ket  It  ia  of  just  such  an 
-*iu^  it  (.hit  a  note  should  be  made  in  the  coIumnH 
<)f*'N.  &  Q."  for  by  its  means  we  come  closer  to 
itt  Iruth  regjirding  the  question  of  marriage  be- 
Swift  and  Stella  tban  we  have  hitherto 
ourselTea.  This  end  ib  attained  by  plain 
md  ample  meaDS. 

First,  let  us  moke  a  rectification  of  name.  "  It 
IMJ  be  worthy  of  notice/'  says  the  writer  in 
Mladtvoody  ''^  that  Stella's  namO)  as  it  appears  on 
lier  monument,  wna  Hester.  VaneaBa'a  wua  Esther. 
See  her  will.  .  .  .  Mr.  Forater  transposes  the  two 
mmes."  This  done,  we  proceed  to  a  very  pertinent 
tcnutik,  on  the  part  of  the  writeff  with  reference 
to  the  story  of  the  alleged  marriage  :  **  We  must 
Icquest  the  reader  to  bc.tr  consUintly  in  mind  the 
clementAry  axiom  of  tho  laws  of  evidence,  that  a 
«toTy  told  by  A-  acquires  no  additional  validity  by 
lieing  repeated  by  B.,  C,  and  D."  Tho  writer  then 
Inuigi  forward  the  first  witness.  Thiis  is  Lord 
Oireiy.  In  1751  (thirty-five  yean?  after  the  date 
frf  the  alleged  marriage,  twenty-three  years  after 
tia  de«ih  of  Stella^  and  six  yeara  after  the  death 


of  Swifi)j  Lord  Orrery  stjdes,  in  his  RnnnThs: 
**  Stella'e  real  name  wag  Johnson,  She  was  the 
daughter  of  Sir  Willium  Temple's  steward,  and  the 
Lionceale<l,  but  undoubted,  wife  of  Swift ...  If  my 
informations  are  right,  she  was  married  to  Dr. 
Swift  in  1716  by  Dr.  Ashe,  then  Bishop  of 
Clofjher."'  On  this  the  writer  in  Blackwood  says : 
"He  (Lord  Orrery)  gives  no  authority  for  the 
statement  that  Stella  Wiia  the  nndovhkd  wife  of 
Swift,  and  adds  the  words,  '  if  my  informationa  are 
right.' "  The  writer  also  quotes  a  letter  from  Lord 
Orrery,  dated  1742,  in  which  my  lord  refers  to 
Swift  as  a  bacfulorj  and  undergoing  discomfort 
which  ho  would  have  escaped  "  had  he  been  luar- 
rieti,  or,  in  other  worda,  had  Stelhi  lived." 

We  next  come  to  the  year  1754,  when  Dr. 
Delany,  in  his  06««rtJafton»,  accepted  Lord  Orrery's 
Btorj,  lidding  to  it  that  Swift  earnestly  desired 
that  the  marriage  should  be  nintle  public,  but  tlrnt 
Stelia  refused  on  the  ground  that  it  was  "  too  late" 
(d  more  absurd  reason  could  not  be  alleged),  and 
that  they  bad  better  live  on  as  they  btiwl  hitherto 
done  ;  that  is  to  Bay,  as  very  dear  friends,  having 
homes  apart,  and  never  meeting  but  on  terma  of  a 
dignified  and  refined  friendship.  In  the  same 
year  Dr.  Hawksworth  adopted  Lord  Orrery's 
story  in  the  Life  of  Swift  appended  to  an  edition 
of  hia  works. 

In  1755  appeared  Mr.  Deane  Swift's  Essaij  on 
tlu  Life,  die.  of  Dt,  Jonathan  Swift^  in  which  the 
author  affirms  that  though  Swift  and  Stella  lived 
(*/ie  inseparable  frotn  Strs,  Dingley)  as  above 
described,  yet  "  that  ehe  was  married  to  Dr. 
Swift,  in  or  about  the  year  1716,  I  am  thoroughlif 

An  addition  was  made  to  the  story,  about  1780, 
by  Dr.  Johnson,  in  the  Life  of  Swift  in  the  edition 
of  British  PotU,  "Soon  after  (171(5),  in  hia 
forfy-nioth  year,  he  was  privately  married  to  Mrs. 
Jrihn«on  by  Dr.  Ashe,  Bishop  of  Clogher,  as  Dr. 
Madden  told  me,  in  the  tjardtti"  Vilhy  no  certifi- 
Oitte  or  record  of  such  marriage  never  turned  up 
requires  no  explanation.  Dr.  Madden  was  well 
known  for  his  eccentricity  and  his  fervid  imagi- 
nation. 

In  1784,  Thomas  Sheridan,  in  his  Life  of  Sici/tt 
reversed  the  story  told  thirty  years  previously  by 
Dr.  Delany,  and  asserted  that  Stella  pressed  tho 
celebration  of  marriage,  and  that  Swift  a«sente«l 
only  on  condition  that  in  uU  things  their  way  of 
life  should  be  a«  before— that  of  neighbours  and 
friends.    We  now  quote  from  Blackwood  : —

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[6*8.V.lLLTaDi'7t 


His  first  contribution  was  a  hunting  ballad  called 
^^ArscottofTetcott.  Now  first  printed."  The  hero 
of  this  spirited  song,  which  appeared  in  the  number 
for  December,  1853  (p.  97),  relates  to  old  John 
Arscott,  of  Tetcott,  on  the  river  Tamar,  a  famous 
fox-hunter  of  his  day.  He  makes  a  reference  to 
the  place  in  "The  Tamar  Spring"  (p.  68  of  his 
Cornish  Ballads,  Svo.,  Parker,  18G0),  a  poem  to 
be  found  also  in  his  EccUsia  (p.  58,  Oxford,  1840), 
but  headed  "That  Ancient  River  (Judges  v.  21)." 
Old  Arscott  is  in  the  latter  work  said  to  be  "  the 
last  old  English  squire  *  of  all  his  time ' "  (p.  60). 
He  was  an  ancestor  of  Sir  Wm.  Molesworth,  for- 
merly Secretary  of  State  for  the  Colonies,  and  the 
editor  of  Hobbes's  Works ;  and  he  is  described,  in 
the  prefatory  lines  in  Current  Notes,  as  "  one  of 
the  last  of  the  Western  squires,  who  kept  open 
house  and  open  hand."  Mr.  Hawker  does  not 
appear  to  have  reprinted  this  song.  On  the 
squire's  exclamation  in  reference  to  the  dogs 
C^Good  God  !  how  they  wont  ! "),  I  find  a  hearty 
criticism,  which  is  quite  worthy  to  be  put  along 
with  the  remark  of  Rowland  Hill  when  ho  grudged 
the  devil  the  use  of  all  oaths.  "  There  is,"  says  Mr. 
Hawker,  "  a  groat  deal  more  consciousness  of  im- 
proper usage  in  the  go-to-meeting  abbreviation  of 
G —  than   in   all  the   exclamations  at  length  of 

*  Good  God  ! '  that  ever  c«cape<i  a  fiery  fox-hunter 
in  the  course  of  his  runs."  In  the  intnxluctory 
remarks  to  this  poem,  Mr.  Hawker,  referring  to 
the  legends  of  Arscott  s  times  and  deeds  a  century 
since,  says  that  they  were  still  "floating  unem- 
bodied  around  the  Oaks  of  old  Tetcott,  on  the 
Tamar  side.  There,"  he  continues,  "  are  still  held 
in  remembrance — 

The  dofcs  that  knew  the  accent  of  his  voice, 
From  the  Rrira  fox-hound  to  my  lady's  choice; 
Oft  o'er  those  fields,  beneath  his  stitcly  form, 
Riwhed  the  Ixthl  steed  with  footxtp])^  like  the  storm ; 
Foal  of  a  hundred  fires  !  his  glancinjr  eye 
Shared  in  his  master's  pride  and  tlash'd  with  victory." 
No  indication  is  given  of  the  authorship  of  the 
above  six  lines.     Mr.  Hawker,  however,  has  this 
remark  in  one  of  his  letters  :   "  The  lines  about 

*  the  dogs*  are  from  a  lost  poem  of  my  own,  of 
which  I  can  only  remember  a  few  lines."  Can 
your  readers  supply  any  more  ? 

In  Current  Notes,  1855,  p.  21,  were  printed  the 
original  verses  of  the  American  song,  Yiiuh>: 
Doodle,  which  is  there  said  to  have  been  composed 
in  the  year  1775  by  one  Dr.  Shamburg,  an 
English  surgeon,  who  also  set  the  tune,  dedicating 
the  production  to  the  motley  recruits  who,  dif- 
ferently dressed,  and  nrmed  in  various  ways,  came 
to  join  the  British  troops  on  the  Hudson  under 
Abcrcrombie.  Mr.  Hawker,  in  reply  to  this  contri- 
bution, sent  the  editor  what  he  called  some  "  stray 
verses  of  the  old  and  real  Yankee  Doodle,  which 
have  been  obtained  from  the  recitation  of  a  very 
aged  individual."  They  appeared  in  the  number 
for  May,  1857,  p.  36.     He  refers  to  the  song  in  a 


letter  belonging  to  aboat  March,  1855  :  ''My  wife, 
who  knows  all  music, I  believe,  that  ever  wpob- 
lished,  recites  it  to  me.  Her  father  [CoL  Wrj 
TAns,  1738-1816]  used  to  sing  it  about  theeal 
of  last  century.  It  was  popular  in  Loid  Howe'i 
time  (the  famous  first  or  June)."  It  seems  to 
have  been  a  sea  song.  The  song  called  1%e  Mii- 
watch  was  also  printed  from  his  wife's  recitation. 

The  loftily-conceived  poem  called  "Baal-Zepbon: 
the  God  of  the  North"  {NoUs,  April,  1855,  p.  S9; 
was  prompted  by  the  war-spirit  of  the  time.    Tht 
fierceness  of  an  inspired  magician  seems  to  per- 
vade the  lines,  in  which  are  brought  before  ua 
"  In  outline  dim  and  vast  .... 
The  giant  forms  of  empires  on  their  way 
To  ruin." 

In  an  autograph  letter  penes  mc  Mr.  Hawker  oji 
that  the  lines  "  contain  my  own  solution  of  At 
[Russian]  War."    The  last  line— 

"Bid  the  recreant  Run  thy  banUh'd  name  recall "— 
is  in  allusion  to  the  omission  by  the  Eastoi 
Church  of  the  words  "  Filioque  "  from  the  NiccK 
Creed.  He  had  written,  or  projected  to  write,  a 
The  Heresy  of  the  Buss ;  "  a  topic,**  he  said,  "  fna 
which  all  seem  to  have  shrunk  throughout  tk 
war.  Yet  as  a  key  to  events,  and  as  a  soom 
of  policy  and  illustration,  no  subject  more  demasdi 
discussion."  "  See,"  he  adds,  "  how  they  nibble 
at  it  in  <N.  &  Q.M»  On  the  "Theme  of  tk 
Doctrine  of  Regions"  he  speaks  of  MSS.  gathend 
in  his  escritoire  '*  very  thrilling  and  rare."  Heb^ 
lieved  in  the  old  legends,  to  which,  indeed,  MiltdD 
has  given  countenance,  that  the  North  was  tk 
region  of  the  Demons.  Mr.  Hawker  called  attcB- 
tion  to  the  northern  or  "Devil's  door"  to  WtD- 
combe  Church,  as  well  as  to  the  northern  portioa 
of  his  own  churchyard,  which  is  graveless. 

His  "  Christ-Cross  Rhyme  "  was  first  pubUshed 
in  your  pages  (1»'  S.  ix.  231),  March  11,  1854, 
under  the  signature  "  H.  of  Morwenstow  "  ;  hot  it 
is  written  as  if  he  had  copied  it  from  a  book  tbit 
he  had  seen.  In  November  of  the  following  jtu 
it  wiis  printed  in  Current  Notes  under  his  on 
name,  with  one  happy  alteration — instead  of 
"  Teach  me  letters,  one,  two,  three,"  he  amended 
it  thus,  "  Teach  me  letters,  %  S,  €  "  (as  it  nor 
stands  in  the  Cornish  Ballads,  p.  44).  It  ii 
curious  to  notice  how  desirous  he  was  to  ham 
these  three  letters  printed  in  his  own  way  : — 

"  I  utterly  dimpprove  of  any  letters  for  A  B  C  bat 
Old  EngliBh  capitals.  Thej  and  they  only  will  racallto 
eTer^  mind  the  Ilom-Book  Crisscross  Blow.  The  man 
outre  they  look,  the  more  they  differ  from  the  rest  of  tk 
line,  the  better  they  will  suit  the  idea  in  every  nuadd

IDTBteTT.  There  is  good  reason,  however,  for  sup- 
potuig  that  he  died  somewhere  in  London  or  il8

ISm^  Is  no  doubt  that  he  ^ffl\s  alive  on  May  27, 
1557,  when  he  was  of  the  great  ^e  of  eighty- tive 
or  eighty-six  years,  as  Philip  of  Spain  arrived  in

iah  gmdge,  within  a  week  deprived  8ebiis- 
bot  of  the  peosion  conferred  upon  him  by 
Edwaid  VI.  On  the  other  hand,  there  are 
l^nnds  for  the  opinion  that  he  must  have

this  note  from  a  Rutkrid  village^  in  which,  and  in 
the  surrounding  vilhiges,  **  the  Feast*'  has  recently 
been  held.  These  feasts  would  appcjvr,  at  the  pre- 
sent day,  to  have  no  reference  to  the  sjvint  in 
whose  name  the  village  church  was  ded»cate<i  ; 
but  to  be  held  at  the  Heason  that  in  mot»t  convenient 
to  the  inhabitants,  and  on  the  Sunday  that  "  His 
in  best "  with  the  other  feasts  in  the  neighbourhood. 
The  peculiarity  I  am  about  to  mention  in  these 
Rutland  feasts  is  one  tluit  is  new  to  me.  Ench 
visitor  who  comes  to  a  house  is  saluted  il&  "  cousin,'* 
although  he,  or  she,  may  not  be  the  remotest  re- 
lation or  connexion,  and  may  even  be  a  total 
stranger  to  the  father  and  mother,  and  invited  to 
the  house  by  one  of  their  children.  No  matter, 
that  stranger  is  a  "  cousin "  so  long  as  the  feast 
last^.  The  etymology  of  "  cousin  "  was  uked  for 
by  a  correspondent,  :\^  8.  xii.  331  ;  but  I  think 
that  his  query  has  not  been  answered.  BaUey 
gives  comanguiueuti  as  tlie  derivation,  I  am  not 
able  to  search  for  the  reference,  but  I  am  under 
the  impression  that  the  terra  "cousin"  or  "coz" 
is  used  by  Shakspeare  as  a  word  of  friendship  by 
those  who  were  not  of  kin,  la  this  the  case  I  We 
know  bow  the  usage  of  words  survives  among  our 
peasantry  long  aft^r  it  hoA  passed  from  ordinary 
acceptation  ;  and  this  may,  perhaps,  be  the  case 
with  the  Kutknd  "feast"  usage  of  the  word 
"cousin,"  extended  indiscriminately  to  the  friends 
of  the  hour.  Cuthbert  Bedr. 

Provincial  Words  ;  *'  Castdtman.**— It  in  not 
often  that  we  are  able  to  trace  so  satisfactorily  tbo 
origin  of  provincial  words  as  we  are  that  of  the 
word  "candyman."  It  is,  aa  was  stated  in  the 
editors  note,  p.  325,  "  a  tenn  in  the  North  for 
men  employed  to  cairry  out  evictions  a.t:;alnjst 
cottage  occirpiers."  There  was,  in  October,  1863, 
a  great  strike  of  miners  at  the  collieries  of  Messrs. 
Strakers  and  Love,  in  the  county  of  Durham.  As 
no  adjustment  of  the  difference  was  possible,  the 
owners  determined  to  eject  the  miners  from  their 
cottsigers.  For  this  purpose,  a  large  number  of 
curious  characters  were  engaged  by  the  agents  of 
Messrs.  Strakers  and  Love.  Among  the  pensona 
80  engaged  was  at  least  one  whose  onlinary  occu|)a- 
tion  was  that  of  selling  candy  and  other  sweet- 
meats in  the  neighbouring  towns.  The  man  vma 
recognized,  and  was  chatFed  about  his  calling  by 
the  evicted  miners.  Very  soon,  of  course,  the 
tenu  "  candyman,''  which  rapidly  becume  a  term 
of  reproach,'vTa8  applied  to  the  whole  class*  Since 
that  time  the  word  has  come  into  general  use  over 
the  two  northern  counties  whenever  ejectments 
take  place.  I  may  quote,  in  confirmation  of  thifl 
statement,  the  fullVswing  passage  from  a  description 
of  the?  evictions  which  appeared  in  the  Naocastk 
atronick  of  Oct.  31,  1863  :—

of  Lame,  aiink  at  Prince's  Pier,  on  the  Clyde^ owing 
to  stress  of  weather.  The  fotbwing  is  from  li 
Belfast  paper  of  Saturday  (the  27fcb): — 

"The  Anno  was  one  of  the  oldest  ubips  wbfcli  ftiiJed 
en  the  Clyde.  She  vtaa  at  one  time  Henry  BeH'fi  old 
Coinet,  the  Aret  ^tcam  vessel  that  sailed  in  the  West. 
Bume  year*  a^o  BeU'B  old  en^riries  were  taken  out,  and 
«he  was  lengthened  and  ma  Ic  a  schooner.  While  in  the 
Larne  trade  ihc  was  known  as  the  '  Long  Anne.'  Not 
long  ago  dhe  was  humeri  to  ttie  water's  edae,  but  woi

•he  vrua  fiunk  nut  far  from  Chu  nurt  where  the  was  built 
(Port  Qlasfow)." 

Tbia  does  not  apfree  with  the  notice  of  Henry 
Bell's  Comet  ia  Chambers's  Book  of  Lhyjt^  which 
states  that — 

"  It  if  a  great  pity  that  Henrv  Bell's  Comet  wai  not 
preserved,  which  it  would  have  been  entitled  to  be  as  a 
Guriositr.  It  was  wrecked  one  day  by  runiitnj;  ashore  on 
the  Highland  coMt,  when  Bell  himself  was  on  board,  no 
liretj  howerer,  being  lost." 

Perhaps  some  one  who  is  correctly  imformed 
could  clear  up  tbia  matter.

EoDEHioo  Lopez. — ^Wlien  was  lie  Appointed 
physician  to  Queen  Elizabeth  \  In  the  accoimt 
of  his  80-cjilled  trensoo  printed  in  Miirtlin 
(iL  CCD),  he  is  simplj  styled  "Her  Mnjestiea  sworno 
seirant  and  Physition  for  her  Majesties  House- 
bold."  In  the  paper  drawn  up  by  Francis  BacoD, 
and  printed  by  Mr.  Sptdding  (LfUcin  and  Lift y 
j,  276),  we  are  told  he  was  "some  years  since 
(1694)  8worn  physiciiin  of  her  Majesty's  house- 
hold." Birch  (Sfcm.  Q,  Elh.,  I  151)  «ays,  whether 
on  Ihe  authority  of  Nicholas  Faunt  or  not  does  not 
nppejir  very  evident,  that  Lopez  had  been  "the 
King  of  *Sp/iin'8  pensioner  for  fieven  years  pa«t." 
I  b^n  to  have  a  suspicion  that  Lopez  had  only 
recently  been  appointed  Queen's  physician  when 
fimex  and  his  niyrmidona  accused  the  man,  and  I 
find  it  hard  to  believe  that  Anthony  Bacon  could

thing wanting  before  the  inscription  "  belq  " ;  it

Marriage  Custom.— About  twenty  years  since 
a  widow,  who  had  contracted  many  debts,  was 
married  in  Gedney  Church,  Lincolnshire,  clad 
only  in  a  sheet.  The  reason  of  this  was  the  belief 
that  existed  that,  if  a  man  took  a  woman  thus  clad 
for  his  wife,  he  would  not  be  liable  for  the  debts 
previously  contracted  by  her.  Have  any  of  your 
readers  met  with  a  similar  instance  and  belief]

A  Ballad. — I  have  met  with  the  following  in 
an  old  letter  (MS.)  :— 

"  London,  February  6, 1663(3/4). 
"  I  have  sent  my  sister,  though  with  much  trouble, 
the  balat  of  Mary  Maudens,  for  there  is  none  in  print. 
I  gott  it  of  one  which  had  it  ever  since  they  first  came 
out." 

I  suspect  that  the  title  of  this  ballad  may  be 
more  correctly  written  "  Merry  Maidens  "  ;  but  I 
shall  be  glad  to  know  wliether  such  a  ballad  be 
known,  and,  if  so,  something  more  about  it.  It 
seems  to  have  been  very  popular  in  its  day.

Old  Coins. — I  have  lately  come  across  fiwr 
coins  in  a  small  silver  box  used  as  whist  maiken. 
Each  coin  measures  seven-eighths  of  an  indi  in 
diameter,  and  weighs  one-eighth  of  an  ounce ;  two 
are  of  the  date  1780,  one  of  1761,  and  one  of  1788. 
The  three  later  ones  have  on  the  obverse  a  figoR 
of  a  man  in  half  armour,  with  the  legend  **Pv. 
cres  .  hoi .  concordia .  res,"  and  the  date  across  the 
figure,  and  bear  on  the  reverse,  enclosed  in  » 
square,  the  words — 

"  MO  .  CRD  .  PROVIN  .  FOBDSB  .  BELO  .  AD  .  LK  .  nP." 

The  earlier  one  (dated  1761)  differs  from  tbe

(5"»  S.  iv.  109,  334,  297,  317  ;  v.  272,  311,  356.) 
It  i«  surprising  to  find  a  modern  Southern  criti- 
cism quoted  against  the  fidelity  of  Sir  W,  Scott's 
descriptions  of  Border  life  and  habits  two  or  three 
cenluriea  ago.  It  seems,  from  W.  G.'s  reply,  and 
the  respect  paid  to  this  quotation,  that  I  was  mis- 
taken in  thinking  unnecessary  a  sentence  omitted 
from  my  last  notice.  I  had  written,  after  mention 
of  Lochinvar's  exploit,  "  It  may  be  said  that  this 
irt  romance  ;  but  wo  know  that  something  very 
like  it  was  reality  not  so  long  ago,  l»efure  roads 
were  mmle,  except  on  the  great  routes.  No  one 
could  have  known  this  better  than  8ir  Widter 
Scott,  who,  as  a  delicate  child,  spent  his  summers 
usually,  till  his  seventeenth  year,  with  his  grand- 
fnther  and  aunt  at  Smailholm  Tower,  En  Berwick- 
shire. There  he  learnt  the  habits  and  imbibed 
the  spirit  of  Border  life,  and  iiccumulated  ihe  stores 
of  tmdition  and  Kong  which  he  so  admirably  used 
in  illiistmtion  of  his  works  in  prose  and  verse,  in 
the  opinion  of  those  nearest  to  him  in  time,  mid 
most  .ible  to  judge  him." 

Now  any  confirmation,  which  from  experience 
or  locality  we  may  be  able  to  afford,  of  the  fidelity 
of  description  here  impugned,  seems  due,  in  grati- 
tude, to  the  great  magician.     It  is  as  well  to  bear 
in  miud  that  three  hundred  years  ago  there  was 
no  other  mode  of  travelling  than  riding,  except 
walking.     Kings,  and  queens,  and  great  people, 
all  mounted   to  the  saddle,  as  they  had  done  for 
centuries  before.     Chaucer's  pilgrims  rode  to  Can- 
terbury,    Ladies  were  accustomed  to  ride  often  on 
gorgeou-s  pillions  behind  some  relative  or  serving- 
man.       Queen  EliKabeth,  when  she  rode  to  the 
City  from  her  house  at  Greenwich,  placed  heraelf 
behind  her  Lonl  Chancellor.      Judges  rode    tho 
circuit  in  jack-boots,  as  Lord  Cockburn  says,  till 
1810-     Stage -waggons,  about  the  end  of  the  six- 
teenth century,  and  afterwards  co;iche3,  were  put 
on  gome  of  the  chief  roads.    But,  after  1698,  grave 
fears  were  entertained,  and  a  pimphlet  was  written 
to  show  that  the  effect  of  the  latter  would  be 
enervating  and  mischievous,  as  **  those  who  travel 
in  these  coaches  contnicted  an  idle  habit  of  body, 
became  weary  and  listle3.s,  and  were  then  unable 
or  unwilling  to  travtd  on  horseback,  and  not  able 
to  endure  frost,  snow,  or  rain,  or  to  lodge  in  the 
field."  This,  of  course,  was  opposed,  and  overcome. 
But  it  is  to  be  feared  that  modern  habits  and  con- 
veniences of  life  have  weakened  our  faith  in  our 
forefathers'  feats  of  hardihood  and  activity,  which 
we,  from  modern   tmtuing,    cannot    t«j[ual,    and 
which  modern  analogy  fiuls  to  \Ua%U»i^.

In  the  Border  counties  especially,  a  good  horse 
(no  other  beiog  of  much  avail)  raight  huve  been 
o&lled,  like  the  camel  id  the  East,  "the  ship  of  the 
deaert,"  or  the  fells,  tia  ptis^in;?  o ver  all  oh?  tiicles.  In 
lumiliea  where  the  men  lived  much  on  horseback, 
the  diinghters  were  mostly  expert  horsewomen  ; 
riding  "  single  ^  on  their  own  gallowav  (palfrey  or 
pony),  or  "double"  behind  some  relative,  as  might 
often  be  deemed  more  prudent,  in  a  region  abound- 
ing with  bridffelesa  streiima,  and  qiiakinj?  mosses, 
iiaa  mere  bridie-roada,  if  any,  over  steep  and  lonely 
heij:^hts  and  hollows.  Seott  himself,  like  all 
children  brought  up  in  such  a  difitnch,  had  doubt- 
less often  been  thus  taken  up  by  his  friends  across 
the  streams,  before  he  became  master  of  a  pony  of 
his  own,  and  learnt  that  proficiency  in  horseman- 
ship which  he  afterwards  attained,  and  which  is 
reflected  in  his  writings.  Liidiea'  journeys,  when 
arranged  beforehand,  were  on  pillions  ;  but  for 
sadden  emergencies,  fw  floods,  &c.,  there  were 
means  of  substituting  a  plaid  or  cloak  by  &  strap 
and  buckle,  which  I  have  seen, 

W.  G.  mistakes  my  general  assertion,  that  pil- 
lions were  coonccted  v^-ith  much  romantic  adven- 
ture, of  which  I  could  give  many  true  instances. 
The  "  crnupe  "  nieuna  only  the  rear  of  the  horse. 
I  did  not,  and  tliought  nobody  could,  suppose  thiit 
yrning  IxKihinvur  brought  a  pillion.  Kor  did  I 
think  riding  without  one  impossible,  to  pensons 
much  used  to  horses,  under  certain  conditions  ; 
for  I  h;ive  seen  it,  and  at  very  good  speed  too. 
The  ballad  hero  wo  know  rode  unarmed,  and 
alone,  save  for  his  good  broadaword  : — 

"  He  ttayed  not  fur  brtike,  and  stopped  not  for  stont, 
Ho  flwaxn  the  Esk  river,  whore  ford  there  naa  none/' 

All  that  L"?  ([uite  natural  to  both  man  and  horse 
BO  accustomed,  as  it  is  implied  they  were,  in  the 
long  wooing.  The  chief  improbability  seems  to 
be  in  his  coming  there  at  all  at  such  a  time  ;  but, 
as  thifl  balhid  is  founded  on  an  older  on©,*  which 
turns  on  the  same  incident,  it  might  belong  to  the 
style  of  that  time.  If  we  believe  tb-it  big  dashing 
assnrance,  and  half  sorrowful,  hnlf  defiant,  answer 
to  the  fathers  question  aa  to  his  motive  in  coming, 
turned  aside  all  oppo?iition  to  hia  will,  the  scene  in 
the  hall,  and  afterwards,  is  bo  circum&tuntially 
given,  that  any  one  who  can  recall  the  long 
country  dances  may  picture  young  Lochinvai 
fading  out  the  bride,  "ere  her  mother  could  bar" ; 
dancing  down  the  hall,  in  spite  of  *'  fretting  and 
fuming"  at  the  top  ;  and  passing  from  that  sphere 
of  observation,  umid  the  atorm  of  music,  and  the 
admiring  comraenta  of  bride-maidens,  as  other 
couples  rose,  till  they  reached  the  compamtive 
obBctmty  at  the  bottom,  where  there  wis  quiet 
for  a  little  space.  As  each  event  is  given  so 
ettictly  in  order  of  time—

T  had  never  doubted  that,  while  the  rest  were  en- 
grossed in  the  dance,  and  the  pipers  blowing  "wf 
birr/'  it  was  supposed  time  was  gained  (the  stted 
being  held  ready),  and,  before  tliey  were  missed 
or  int^uired  for,  that  the  fugitives  were  mouoted, 
rejoicingly',  and  out  of  sight.  It  is  in  the  next  ver» 
that  we  hear  "  There  was  mounting,"  kc  But 
takes  some  time  to  get  ready  for  mounting, 
Lochinvar  knew  ;  and  though —

it  geems  to  hare  been  in  uncertainty,  or  in  a  mist; 
for  the  last  line  is  (^nite  positive  :— 
''  But  the  loBt  bride  of  Nethorbj  ne'er  did  they  iec" 
The  ballad  of  Jock  o'  Htizehhan  tells,  not  (]^\ijii 
so  circuiiiatnntially,  of  a  similar  escjipade  of  ao 
unwilling  bride ;  and  no  doubt  the  marriage  Uir 
of  Scotland   h.id  tended  to  render  the  expedient 
familiar.     Again,  the  poet  "condescends,*'  as  the 
critic  does  not  notice  before,  to  tell  ua  that,  whett

as  "  Thou  aholt  be  a  «]ueen,  Rebeecii  :  on  Meiart 
Ctirmel  will  we  pitch  the  throne  which  ray  valour 
shtill  gain  for  you,"  &c,,  of  which  he  omits  to  liO

thing  sublime  in  the  contrast  between  the  inaat

fact.  The  purport  of  the  quotation  from  the 
K'nhcay  Neitu^  on  which  ho  comments,  was  to 
trace  the  ori;^in  of  the  word  hmr  as  applied  to  an 
operator  for  a  fall  in  the  price  of  stocks,  the  writer 
stating,  whether  correctly  or  not  it  is  unnecessary 
here  to  consider,  that  the  d«siffnation  was  formerly 
hare.  No  question  wa.s  raised  as  to  the  merming 
of  the  word,  which  is  in  common  use  even  outside 
the  walla  of  the  Stock  Exchange,  and  which  he- 
explained  thus  :  *'  The  term  referred  to  thos© 
speculators  who  sold  stock  which  they  had  not  t^ 
deliver— who  were,  iu  fact,  *  bare '  or  naked  of 
stock."  In  spite  of  thiw,  Dr.  Bbewkr  seems  to 
think  that  a  speculator  must  buy  stock  before  h© 
can  bear  the  market— at  le;i8t,  it  is  seemingly 
upon  this  erroneous  supposition  that  he  bjises  his 
remarks,  f  He  says  :  "  Kow  if  a  man  sjieculates  by 
buying  with  the  intention  of  selling  aguin,  his 
object  would  be  defeated  if  he  depressed  the 
market."  Of  course  it  would  ;  but  a  speculator 
who  buys  to  sell  again  if?  a  hull  and  not  ii  Rear, 
and  the  objection,  therefore,  is  invalid.  A  hmr, 
as  stated  by  the  writer  in  the  Ruihmy  NeicSy 
**  sells  without  having  stock,"  that  is,  he  sells  in 
blank,  and  takes  his  chance  of  buying  back  at  a 
lower  price  than  he  sold  for  before  the  day  of 
settlement.  Dr.  Brkwer  fails  to  make  inatteru 
clearer  by  his  illustration  ;  he  goes  on  to  say  : 
**  If  he  lmj8  at  tiri,  and  the  market  rises  to  65,  he 
would  lose  6/.  per  cent,  by  his  speculation  ;  but  if 
he*  bulled*  the  market  to  C5,  and  it  afterwjyds 
fell  to  G(>,  he  would  gain  51.  per  cent  by  hia 
bargain."  The  exact  contrary  is  the  fact.  In  the 
riret  supposed  instance,  if  a  maa  buys  at  00  with 
the  intention  of  selling  again  he  is  a  6uW,  and 
could  have  no  desire  to  depress  the  market,  and  it 
is  clear  that  if  the  value  of  what  he  bought  roso 
it)  BbL  he  would  make  a  profit^  not  a  loss,  of  6/. 
by  the  transaction  ;  in  the  other  case,  if  he  hulltd 
at  65,  that  is,  boujjht  with  an  opinion  for  a  rise, 
he  would  lose  and  not  gain  5i.  by  the  value  reced- 
ing to  60/.  I  may  just  notice  thut  a  gain  or  loss^ 
of  bi  in  60?.  is  not  5  per  cent.,  but  at  the  rate  of

Dr,  Brkwer  liiy«  it  down  as  an  axiom  "that 
ipeculators  fcu/i!  when  they  buy,  inveetore  hmr'*; 
but  how  he  arrives  at  this  result  he  does  not  say. 
Now  a  buyer  cannot  by  any  posaiI>ility  be  a  bear, 
for  the  very  fact  of  buying  must  have  a  tendency 
to  raiise,  not  to  depress,  prices  :  whether  the  pur- 
chase be  epeculative  or  for  inveatcncnt  h  quite 
inmiaterial.  Caarles  Wtlie. 

In  these  days  of  almost  universal  stock  and 
ahare  gambling  it  is  quite  refreshing  to  find  any 
one  in  the  state  of  utter  ijcnonincc  of  Stock  Ex- 
change terms  as  is  manifested  by  D&,  Brewer. 
Every  statement  in  hh  communication  ia  the  exact 
oppo^^ite  of  the  truth,  and  his  illuHtrations  are 
ridiculous.  Dr.  Brewer  saya  :  "  Now  if  a  man 
speculates  by  buying  with  the  intention  of  st-Uing 
again,  bis  oltject  would  be  wholly  defeated  if  be 
depressed  the  market,"  Of  eourao  it  would,  but 
he  could  not  ikpn'M  the  market  by  buying;  every 
buyer  strengthens  the  market  ^no  tanto.  AVhen 
the  hvtftrs^  or  hulh,  are  in  excess  of  the  sdkrn,  or 
bear»,  the  market  rises,  and  vice  versd.  Dn,  Brrweh 
thus  illustrates  his  assertion  :  "  Say  a  man  buys 
at  6i\  and  the  market  rises  to  G5,  he  would  lose 
5!.  per  cent,  by  his  speculation."  He  M'oiild  not 
lose  or  gain  5/.  per  cent,  in  such  a  case,  but  he 
would  indubitably  gain  5/.  on  every  share  he 
bou^^bt  at  doLy  and  aold  at  65/,,  and  in  »Slock  Ex- 
chunge  parlance  would  be  described  as  having 
huUt'tJ  the  stock,  and  cleared  51.  per  share  by  his 
bull.  Dn,  BuKWKR  then  adds,  "A  buyer  for  invest- 
ment hears  the  market."  This  would  make  many 
an  unfortunate />far  laugh  in  hi;^  skin.  The  mo- 
ment a  hfMT  tindn  that  bond  fuh  investors  are 
buying  and  pnyinrr  for  the  stock  he  has  sold,  he 
abandons  the  speculation  as  hopeless.  A  hull  is  a 
man  who  buys  Bhares  because  he  expects  them  to 
rise.  He  does  not  intend  to  pay  for  them,  but  to 
**  carry  them  over  "  at  the  fortnightly  settlement, 
until  he  can  sell  them  at  a  higher  price.  A  bear 
is  one  who,  not  possessiag  a  single  share,  selk, 
intending  also  to  ''carry  over,"  if  necessary,  till  he 
can  buy  them  in  at  a  lower  price.  A  man  who 
buys  shaiCiJ,  intending  to  pay  vush  for  them,  is 
CiUled  an  *' investor,"  and  his  action  helps  the 
hulU,  A  man  who  sells  shares  which  he  actually 
posBcssea  is  called  a  hondjide  seller,  and  his  action 
helns  the  bears.  There  is  not  a  single  sharebrokcr, 
or  broker's  clerk,  in  the  ll^nited  Kingdom,  that 
will  not  corrobi.mto  these  Btatemeuts.  As  to  the 
origin  of  the  two  temis,  I  have  always  understood 
that  Ihe  origin  of  the  term  hull  lay  in  the  fact  that 
speculators  for  a  "  rise  "  are  genenlllv  hot,  Bangiiinc 
fellows,  sometbiDg  like  the  typical  John  Bull,  and 
that  tpeeiitatora  for  the  fall  are  generally  slower, 
rolder,  less  riipid  aninmb,  but  witli  a  most  tena- 
cious jirip,  J.  Stores  8MiTn.

Although  my  ex|>osition  was  wholJr  wrong,  vq 
idea  was  correct  upon  this  Bubjoct,  llie  qaot 
from  the  Maihoay  Neics  (p.  200)  was  this  :  •* ' 
tenn  *  bear'  refenj  to  those  speculators  who  8oW ' 
they  bad  not  to  deliver— who  were,  in  fact,  *  bait'i 
naked  of  stock,'*  I  wanted  to  show  the  utter  f 
of  this  idea.  If  a  man  Bells  low,  and  has  to 
afterwards  at  a  higher  rat^^  he  must  lose  motujl 
his  bargain.  For  instance,  he  "  bears  "  ihe 
down  to  602.,  and  sells  stock  which  he  has  ooti 
hand  ;  when  called  upon  to  deliver  the  st4xkl 
has  to  buy  it,  and  the  market  has  risen  to 
He  sella  for  GOl,  and  bays  at  65/.,  conseqi 
he  loses  5L  In  this  caae  he  would  not  2^,1 
bull  the  market.  If,  on  the  other  blind,  he 
sell  stock  at  651,,  and  when  called  upon  to  di 
it  the  price  had  fallen  to  60/.,  he  would  be  a , 
of  5/.  for  every  bond.  He  sold  at  65/.,  and 
wartls  furni.'ibed  himself  at  60/.  with 
wanted.  Consequently  it  is  not  true  thatj 
a  corruption  of  bare^  because  speculat^irs  **] 
stock  "  press  or  bear  down  the  market  to  aoU 
they  do  not  possess.  Speculators  "  bare  of

Ltdd  Towbr  an'd  Cardinal  Wolset  (5** 
S.  ii  143.)— Some  months  have  elapsed  since  a 
question  was  asked  as  to  the  authority  for  the 
tradition  that  the  tower  of  Lydd  Church  was  built 
by  Cardinal  Wolsey  when  he  was  vicar.  No  reply 
appeared,  but  thejre  has  since  that  time  been  pub^ 
lished  the  First  Part  of  the  Fifth  Report  of  the 
Historical  MSS.  C^^mmission,  which  hiis  some 
notice  of  the  "  belfry  "  and  "  steeple  *^  of  Lydd 
Church  in  the  description  of  the  documents  in  the 
possession  of  the  corporation,  pp.  516-633. 

Mr.  H,  T-  Kiley,  the  commissioner  who  reports 
on  the  papers  belonging  to  this  corporation,  Bays 
(pp.  516-7)  :- 

"The  town  acconnti   (after  a  few  years  called  the 

*  Cbumberlain'g  Account* ')  bepin  near  the  commence- 
ment of  tbo  reign  of  Henry  Vl...  ..In  these  times,  aa 
indeed  down  to  a  recent  period,  the  church  tower  was 
Burmounted  by  a  steeple ;  and  from  some  entries  in  tlio 
viilumo  it  would  appear  that  tbe  belfry  was  a  wooden 
fnbric  iti  the  chnrcbyard  ;  aiuiitar  perbapa  to  tbe  remark- 
able belfry  of  that  nature  still  Burviving  in  tbe  neigh- 
bouring parish  of  Erookland.  The  ohuroh  belli  too  are 
frequently  mentioned." 

Mr.  Riley,  from  this,  supposes  the  steeple  and 
the  belfry  to  hfive  been  different  structures.  But 
it  is  also*  possible  that  the  belfry  may  have  been 
only  a  bell-chamber  which  formed  part  of 
tbo  tower  itself,  as  may  be  seen  in  churches 
near  Lydd.  Tbe  mention  which  is  made  of  the 
two  in  the  volume  is  as  follows,  from  which  it 
i^eems  that  the  name  of  "  belfry  "  was  used  first, 
and  after  the  extensive  repairs,  or  reconstruction, 
in  1445,  the  name  of  "  steeple."  Certainly,  a  g^rent 
ileal  was  done  to  the  church  and  tower,  or  belfiry, 
at  this  time.  The  leaves  of  the  volume  are  mis- 
placed, so  that  the  entries,  which  follow  the  pre- 
sent state  of  these,  are  not  in  the  order  of  time  in 
the  pages  of  the  Report  \ —

to  Jericho,' "  In  Kelly's  Post  Ofia  Directory  for 
ihe  Sit  Home  Ctmntia,  under  the  head  of  "  Black- 
more,''  the  same  account  in  given,  with  the  addition 
that  "  the  Cam  rivulet,  which  flows  through  the 
village,  la  still  called  Jordan  by  the  old  inhabitanta." 

1  was  at  Blackmore  myself  a  short  time  ago 
accidenUilly,  and  I  saw  this  house,  which  is  an  old- 
looking  one  of  red  brick,  and  dose  to  thc  church  ; 
and  I  can  testify  that  the  names  *'  Jericho  "  and 
"  Jordan "  arc  still  current  there,  and  not  only 
among  the  old  inhabitants  ;  for  I  was  only  in  the 
place  from  five  to  six  hours,  and  yet,  though  I 
made  no  inquiries,  as  I  then  knew  nothing  about 
the  matter,  1  was  informed,  by  a  per^ion  who  bad 
himself  only  been  two  or  three  months  in  the 
place,  that  the  house*  was  called  "  Jericho,"  and 
the  little  stream,  over  which  I  passed,  "  Jordan/' 

**To  wiah  one  at  Jericho"  would,  therefore, 
mean  merely  to  wish  one  well  out  of  the  way 
where  there  could  be  no  interference  on  his  part, 
and,  if  Jericho  were  the  sort  of  place  here  described, 
few  men,  at  the  time  the  phrase  sprang  up,  could 
have  objected  to  be  **  wished  at  Jericho."

over  and  above  the  usual  and  regular  number.  If 
there  is  a  Afth  work-horse,  he  is  an  orra-horse.  To 
some,  this  explanation  may  seem  startling  from  its 
simplicity.  In  orer,  ver  is  like  the  Celtic  harry

better  for  any  country  to  have  a  great  number  of 
two-plough  farms  than  one-half  or  one-third  the 
number  of  large  farms.  Thomas  Stratton.

This  word,  which  is  in  Scotland  commonly 
applied  to  an  agricultural  labourer  who  is  ready 
to  undertake  such  jobs  as  may  be  offered  him,  is  a 
corruption  of  ouyr  a'  or  over  all,  meaning  that  the 
individual  is  extra  to  those  in  regular  employment. 
Ah  aged  aunt  of  mine,  a  native  of  Forfarshire,

first  three  chapters  of  Fulcher's  Life  ofThmm 
GaiTuhoroughf  R.A.  (Longmans,  1B56)l  Th 
father  of  the  artist  was,  at  first,  described  as"! 
miUiner" ;  next  as  "  a  clothier"  ;  and  then  ai  ''t 
crape-maker."  It  appears  from  the  list  of  iii 
pictures,  given  by  Mr.  Fulcher  (pp.  183-5),  tbt 
Gainsborough  exhibited  at  the  Koyal  Academy, 
in  the  years  1778  and  1783,  two  portraits  of  ike 
Duchess  of  Devonshire.  The  latter  of  these  pQ^ 
traits  was  sold  at  Messrs.  Christie's,  on  Mai^ 
187G,  in  the  sale  of  the  Wynn  Ellis  coliectioi. 
The  newspapers  have  given  the  following  acoonat: 

**  The  sale  by  auction  of  the  first  portion  of  the  eoU» 
tion  of  modem  pictures,  chiefly  of  the  early  EodBA 
school,  formed  by  the  late  Mr.  Wynn  Ellis,  took  pwi 
on  Saturday,  at  the  rooms  of  Messrs.  Christie,  MaaM 
&  Woods.  The  pictures  put  np  for  sale  were  135  it 
number,  of  which  13  bore  the  name  of  Gainaboroagb,  17 
that  of  Reynolds,  14  were  by  Wilson,  17  by  Psoidk 
Nasmyth,  6  works  of  Wilkie,  and  13  attributed  to  Timet 
The  last  of  the  QainsborouKh  collection  excited  ptii 
interest  It  was  the  celebrated  picture  of  the  Docks 
of  Devonshire  in  a  white  dress  and  blue  silk,  and  a  laqf 
black  hat  and  fcathen.  Mr.  Wood,  the  auctioneer,  mk 
the  picture  was  exhibited  at  the  Royal  Academy  in  li3l 
It  came  into  the  possession  of  Mr.  Ellis  throi^  3k 
Bentley,  of  Sloane  Street,  who  bought  It  priTaceiyfna 
Mrs.  M'Qennis.  The  auctioneer  added  that  this  »m^ 
finest  portrait  he  had  over  seen  in  that  room,  sad  ic 
would  have  afibrded  him  great  gratifiiaition  to  bui 
known  that  it  was  to  be  added  to  the  national  coUecda. 
There  was  a  little  burst  of  applause  at  the  beauty  of  tk 
work  when  it  was  placed  upon  the  easel,  and  vithoats 
moment's  hesitation  3,000  guineas  were  bid  for  it  Al- 
most as  quickly  as  the  auctioneer  could  call  them  caai 
offers  of  4,000,  5,000,  6,000,  8,000,  9.000,  and  iaO» 
guineas.  Then,  after  a  slight  pause,  10,1  Oi>  guineaiw 
called.  Mr.  Wood  said  this  was  the  hlt;hc«.t  offer  eie 
made  for  any  picture  in  that  room,  and  he  waf  ve? 
proud  to  receive  it,  especially  as  it  wa^  made  for  tk 
greatest  work  of  one  of  our  own  English  school  Bs 
only  hoped  the  work  would  be  engrared.  Mr.  Vood 
knocked  down  the  picture  for  10,100  guineas  to  M^ 
Agnew." 

If  it  be  true  that  Mr.  Ellis  gave  651.  fortUi 
fine  picture,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  price  it 
realized  at  Christie's  was  rather  more  than  163 
times  (10,605Z.)  the  65Z.  It  would  be  inteiestiiis

The  U»k  of  the  Pastoral  Staff  (5»*»  S.  t. 
69,  212,  367,  392.)— I  think  Mr.  BLENKiNsorr 
should  have  inquired  a  little  further  into  tho 
matter  before  he  asserted  that  I  was  wrong  in 
stating  that  tho  Pope  is  tho  only  bishop  who  doe« 
not  use  a  pastoral  staff.  He  will  find  upon  in- 
(luiry  that  he  is  wrong  when  he  asserts  that 
"  neither  patriarchs  nor  metropolitans  use  it,"  and 
that  they  use  "a  staff  with  a  cross  instead  of  a 
crook."  If  he  will  attend  the  next  time  Arcb- 
bishop  ^^lanning  celebrates  a  pontifical  ma^,  he 
will  see  him  using  exactly  the  same  kind  of  pas- 
ton».l  staff  as  is  borne  by  a  suffragan  bishop.  An 
archbishop  does  not  bear  the  archiepiscopal  cross 
in  bia  hand  instead  of  the  pastoral  staff,  as  Mr, 
BLENKiNsorr  states,  but  this  cross  is  carried 
before  him. 

*'  Quod  «i  fuorit  archiepiscopus,  aut  aliaa,  utent  cruce, 
ipen.  crux  iruioQliato  ante  arcbiepiscopum  per  &liqaein

I  again  maintain  that,  according  to  the  Roman 
rite,  the  Poiie  is  the  only  bishop  who  does  not 
bear  a  p;i3toral  staff.  There  is  only  one  occnaion 
on  which  the  Pope  would  assume  the  ataft",  and 
this  is  if  he  slinuld  visit  the  city  or  dio(?CBe  of

ra  Dogs  out  of  Church  (5*^  S.  iv.  309, 
37,  130,) — It  wa.s^  I  think,  at  Inverar}*, 
in  the  year  1837,  that  I  saw  the  mini- 
le  kirk  followed  by  his  dog.     The 
dent,  highly  respectable  looking  pug, 
»lf  with  great  gravity  on  the  steps  of 
polpdt,  where  he    behaved    with   becoming 


decorum,  save  that,  during  his  master's  diacourae^ 
he  seemed  to  express  his  approbation  by  an  occa* 
sional  yelp,  delivered  with  mucli  unction.  This 
worthy  animal  had  evidently  no  fear  of  the  dog- 
whipper,  and  the  congregation  showed  neither 
sur|}rise  noranmsement  at  his  presence.

We  can  find  illustrations  of  tho  custom  of 
adnnttjng  dogs  to  churches  nearer  home  than  the- 
scene  of  the  Dutch  artists.  I  could  name  at  least 
one  Sc^otch  kirk  where  Iho  shepherds'  dogs  re- 
gularly form  a  part  of  the  congregation  ;  and  I 
knew  one  dog  which  was  so  good  a  sabbatarwn 
that  he  went  to  kirk  even  if  his  master  stayed  at 
home.  H.  Fishwick,  F.S.A. 

Butterfly-Moth  (5*^  S.  v.  28G.)— The  butter- 
fly buds  or  bursts  from  a  chrywilis.  So  do  many 
other  flies ;  but  i>erhaps  early  naturalists  first 
noticed  the  butterfly.  Ogilvie  refers  to  a  Saxon 
form  of  the  word  hud,  G.  H.  A. 

The  etymology  of  this  word  is  quite  uncertain. 
Grirnm  says  the  aoimfd  has  this  name  (as  well  as 
an  old  German  name,  Molkcndicb)  "from  its  being 
believed  that  butterflies,  or  witches  in  the  shape 
of  butterflies,  steal  milk  and  butter."  Wedgwood 
Biijs,  "  from  the  excrements  being  supposed  to 
resemble  butter."  Your  correspondent  seems  to 
be  aware  of  other  surmiseB.  Grimm'fl,  supported

QUESTIONABLE  SHAPES, 
.  dome  yeRTB  ago,  fiiacinated  by  the  ghastly  horror 
of  the  Eubject  of  witcLcruft,  I  read  a  good  deal  in 
Ktcairn'a  Criminal  Triahj  &c.,  and  was  iDduced 
to  note  some  of  the  numeroua  forms  in  which  the 
dcTilp  or  hifl  duly  accredited  ugeotn,  were  shown  to 
bftve  held  int^rcoursu  with  mortals.  Turning  over 
tome  forgotten  MSS.  the  other  day,  I  citmo  upon 
ttieie  memoranda,  which  may  possibly  podsess  an 
iatereat  for  aome  reiders  of  "  N,  &  Q."  A  glance 
it  the  list  will  surely  induce  ua  to  give  Mm  (to 
irkom  it  ia  proverbially  expedient  to  render  his 
dn«)  credit  for  being,  what  Holinahed  called  Wat 
Tjler,  "  a  verie  cr:;ltie  fellow,  and  indued  with 
much  wit,  if  he  had  well  applied  it.^' 

Ring  James,  the  high  and  mighty,  tells  us  that 
''heftppeara  like  a  Catte,  an  Ape,  or  such  liie  other 
Beut  :  or  else  by  a  voice  only.  But  to  the  most 
eurious  sorte  he  will  obliah  himselfe  to  enter  in  a 
dead  body,  and  thereout  of  to  give  his  answers." 
Prom  other  sourccB  we  learn,  however,  Ibut  it  was 
by  no  meiins  a  sine  qud  iton  with  him  that  the 
body  should  be  dead,  and  the  impartijvlity  with 
Vrhich  he  a'isumed  every  shape  that  ever  clothed  a 
iiuman  soul  must  have  rendered  it  not  a  little 
thf^  -1*  "  ircide  about  hia  identity-  Some  trilling 
ecv  [erbape,  gave  the  clue  lo  the  chamcter 

of  La^  ^M.^atwho  presented  himself  "aa  a  little 
old  man  in  a  grey  coat,  with  red  and  blue  stock- 


ings, with  exceedingly  long  garters,  who  had  be- 
sides  a  vnjj  high-crowned  hat,  with  bands  of  many 
coloured  ribbon  enfolded  about  it,  and  a  long  red 
beard  that  hung  down  to  the  middle,"  "  All  in 
black,  with  a  white  band/^  h  suspicious,  but  which 
of  U3  might  not  have  been  deceived  when  he  chose 
to  attract  attention  as  **a  pretty  boy  in  green 
clothes  '*  ?  To  one  man  he  appeared  *'  clothed  in 
russet,  with  a  little  bush  bear*l,  and  told  bini  he 
was  sent  to  look  upon  hif?  aoro  leg,  and  would 
heale  it  :  bat,  rising  to  8how  the  Esame,  perceiving 
he  had  cloven  feet*  [he]  refused  that  Offer,  who 
then  (these  being  no  vain  conceits  or  phantasies, 
but  well  ^idvised  and  diligently  considered  obser- 
vanc^j?)  suddenly  vanished  out  of  hia  sight." 
When,  on  another  occaaion,  he  wore  the  guise  of 
"  a  man  in  a  raj^ged  aute,  and  having  bucS  great 
eyea  that  this  examinant  waa  much  afeard  of  him," 
one  need  not  be  an  expert  in  diablerie  to  be  assured 
that  something  was  wrong,  and  to  share  to  some 
extent  "this  exjtminant's"  fear,  but  what  could 
there  be  to  put  one  on  one's  guard  when  he  is 
simply  *'  a  proper  gentleman  in  a  hiced  band  "  ? 

Susanna  Edwarda  (this  was  in  1682)  declared 
that  "about  two  years  ago  she  did  meet  with  a 
gentleman  in  a  field  called  the  parsonage  close  (of 
all  places  in  the  world  !)  of  the  town  of  Biddeford. 
And  saith  that  his  apparel  waa  all  of  black,  upon 
which  she  did  hope  to  nave  had  i\  piece  of  money 
of  hinL  Whereupon  the  gentleman  drawing  near 
unto  this  examinant  she  did  make  a  curchy,  or 
courtesy  untci  him,  as  she  did  use  to  do  bo  to 
gentlemen.  Being  demanded  who  and  what  the 
gentleman  she  spoke  of  was,  the  said  examinant 
answered  and  Baid  that  it  was  the  devil."  Doubt- 
less Mrs.  Edwards  had  as  good  reason  for  her 
opinion  as  those  who,  with  equal  confidence,  de- 
poned to  encounlering  him  in  *'  raannis  likeness," 
as  "  ane  naikit  infant  baime,"  as  '*  a  poor  boy,"  or 
"a  priei^t  haranguing  from  the  pulpit,"  as  "a  proper 
young  man,'*'  or  "  a  very  handsome  young  man." 

Pope  Gregory  IX.,  in  exhorting  the  faithful  to 
root  out  those  enemies  of  God  and  hiH  Vicar,  the 
unhappy  Stedinger,  styled  them  "abominable 
witches  and  wizards,"  and  distinctly  charges  them 
with  wor5*hipping  the  devil  under  the  name  of  As- 
modi.  **  He,"  says  his  Holiness,  *'  appears  to  them 
in  dirt'erent  shapes  :  Hometimes  as  a  goose  or  a 
duck,  and  at  others  in  the  fignre  of  a  pale  black- 
eyed  youth,  with  a  melancholy  aspect,  whose  em- 
brace fills  their  hearts  with  eternal  hatred  against 
the  holy  Church  of  Christ.  This  devil  presides 
at  their  Sabbaths,  when  they  all  kiss  him  and 
dance  around  him,"  &c. 

The  form  of  u  man  of  colour  had  apparently 
great  attractions  for  him,  and  a  goodly  volume 
would  hardly  contain  the  epitome  of  the  knaveries 
of  which  he  has  been  guilty  aa  "a  luekle  black 
man."  "A  meikle,  black,  roch  man,  verie  cold," 
is  the  terae  description  given  by  one  who  professed

fSSETION  OP  "M'*  AFTER  "B," 
AFTER  "D":  DISSIMILATION. 
m  of  m  after  b  is  common  in  English. 
75)  divides  the  examples  into  two 


classes.  In  the  first  (1)  he  says  the  insertion  take^^ 
place  when  m  ia  preceded  by  a  short  vowel  and 
followed  by  a  vowel,  and  in  the  second  (2)  the  in- 
sertion takes  place  before  on  L 

As  examples  of  (1)  be  quotes  embtrt  (A.-S. 
mnyrje—f^nis),  slumber  (slumerjan)^  stamber  (used 
in  H>08  for  stammer),  and  sudrnkinff  (used  in  the 
fifteenth  century  for  swimming).  But  surely  he 
is  inaccurate  in  saying— or  rather  su^gesiin^f^foT  he 
doiis  not  say  it — that  the  b  Is  inserted  because  a 
vowel  follows  the  m.  In  embers  and  slumber  the 
h  seems  to  me  to  have  been  undoubtedly  inserted 
on  account  of  the  so  closely  following  r,  and  not  on 
account  of  the  e,  which  is  scarcely  heard.  We  see 
this  at  once  if  we  compare  the  Fr.  cfiambre  (from 
camera),  twmbre  (nuwieriia),  cancombre,  {cucume- 
rt:m\  for  the  I^at.  *  following  the  m  hivs  been 
dropped,  and  the  mr  had  nothing  between  them 
till  the  b  wag  inserted.  Aa  for  snnmbintj  instead 
of  sichnminff^  it  was  not  on  account  of  the  follow- 
ing  t  that  the  b  was  inserted,  but  because  the 
sound  of  the  two  m^n  was  disliked  ;  and  ho  also 
with  siamhtr—stammtr^  though  there  the  follow- 
ing r  no  doubt  had  intluence.  Other  examples, 
besides  chamber^  number ^  and  cvvnudicr^  derived 
from  the  French  words  mentioned  above,  are 
aumbry  (also  written  ambry  and  aumeryt  and  cor- 
nipted  from  afraonrT/),and  cumher  (Fr*  (en)eombTer), 
from  cmnularet  of  which  the  I  has  become  an  r. 
Class  (1)  is  in  this  way  brought  into  a  closer  rela- 
tion with  class  (2),  in  which  an  I  follows  the  m,  for 
I  and  r  are  generally  classed  together. 

As  examples  of  class  (2),  Matzner  gives  nimbk, 
sJmmhks  (tne  word  which  led  me  to  write  this 
note  ;  see  "N.  &  Q.,"  6**  S.  v.  2Ql\fambh  (=to

For  his  proofs  or  arguments  I  most  refer  to  the 
book  itself.  Other  examples  are  humhk  (humilis)^ 
disstmble  (diadmularcX  and  tremble  (M.  Lat.  trc- 
mulare).  Aft  for  Tnarbh  (in  which  the  I  replaces 
the  Fr.  rin  wiar&r«),*  Brachet  says  that  marbrewaa 
originally  marrMbre  (from  mar7}wnim)j  and  that 
the  VI  dropped,  aa  it  w^ell  might.  The  b  does  not 
result  therefore  from  a  change  of  the  m.  All 
these  four  words  have  come  to  ns  through  the 
French. 

The  insertion  of  n  after  d  is  strictly  analogous 
to  that  of  m  after  i,  and  this  is  why  I  class  them 
together.  Miitzaer  gives  aa  examples  thunder 
(though  he  admits  that  jrundtr  appears  in  an  A.-S* 
compound  sis  well  aa  punor)^  gender^  and  kindred. 
Other  examples  nre  cinder  {cinerem)j  Under  (Um- 
ran),  engender  {ingenerare)^  aitmnder  (old  Fr. 
attaindrc,  from  attin^ere],  all  through  the  French.

It  will  be  noticed  timt  in  every  case  an  r  foUowa. 
Ndl  but  aeldora  occurs  in  English,  and  where 
it  doest  0J3  in  gpindle^  irundU^  bundle^  the  d  does 
not  appear  to  be  inserted^ 

Having  now  gone  through  the  examples  of  theste 
insertions,  let  me  see  whether  I  can  atiggest  any 
reaeon  why  they  have  taken  place.  3Iat/.ner 
mftke.<  no  attempt  to  do  this*  and  all  that  Braehet 
says  (LXcl,  preL  xcTi,  xcvii)  is  that  the  b  and  the 
d  are  cvphonie.  True,  no  doubt,  bat  hardly  auffi- 
cient.  Tlip  principle  which  has  been  followed  is, 
I  think,  uiiqueationably  that  of  disiimilationf  hj 
which  I  uie4in  the  production  of  a  hiatus.  Eu- 
phony is  o;t.nerally  sought  for  and  attained  by  the 
MuppirMiun  of  hiattuUj  and  among  the  means 
eiiiployeil  for  thia  purpose  the  ammilation  of  two 
ad.jijiniri;;  consonants  is  one  of  the  moat  common. 
JJiMimilatiimh  very  much  more  rare,  and  Web- 
ster doea  not  even  give  the  word  in  hiB  dictionary  ! 

The  word  sivirnvihtg  seemed  to  some  of  our  fore- 
fathers too  smooth  and  too  even  in  its  flow,  and  so 
they  converted  one  of  the  ni'«  into  a  6,  and  wrote^ 
and  DO  doubt  pronounced,  eieimbing,  Vasscrolt 
and  cassoniuidt!.  dii<p!ciise  the  ears  of  some  of 
the  poor  Parisians,  acd  so  they  say  castroU  and 
coitonnadt*  But  that  this  expedient  ia  not 
confined  to  the  poor  Parisians  only  is  shown  by 
the  good  French  word  httrhr  (from  ululaTt\ 
which  M  dissirailated  out  of  the  old  Fr.  kulhr ; 
and  90  the  old  Fr.  maler^  mtUirr^  mtdhr  (=mod. 
Fr.  fniUr^  from  misculare)^  and  whence  our  mtdley. 
The  Italians  have  sometimes  felt  the  same  thing, 
for  enrino  will  be  Ibimd  as  well  as  errino  (=our 
errhint).  In  itll  these  cases  the  two  consonants 
are  tbe  same ;  but  it  was  found  also  that  m  ran  too 
much  into  r  and  l,  and  ?t  into  r,  and  so  it  came 
ibout  that  h  was  inserted  after  m  and  d  after  n,  in 
order  tn  increase  the  hiatiiBj  and  so  make  it  more 
suphonious.  It  was  only  done  here  and  there, 
however,  and  m-r  was  evidently  considered  less 
offensive  than  m-l,  for  we  have  mmrfier^  drum- 
fOSTf  rummtrt  hwmmcr,  rammer^  crammer^  and 
tiammer,  whilst  with  m-l  there  are  not  only  more 
examples  in  which  the  h  has  been  inserted,  but 
there  are  fewer  left  without,  and  I  can  only  f-^il]  to 
mind  pommtlj  for  niammal  with  an  a  will  Kcarcely 
count. 

It  uuist  not  be  supposed,  however,  that  we  bor- 
rowed these  inBertiona  wholly  from  the  French,  for 
there  are  signs  of  dissimilation  even  in  A.-S. 
Thus  the  A,-S.  timber  is  the  Low  Germ.  Timvtrr 
and  the  Iligh  Gemi.  Zlmmtr ;  and  so  we  find  in 
A.-S.  both  bremd  and  hrembd  (^onr  bramhk\ 
whilBt  in  Low  Germ-  it  is  Brfimmtl{bere'n).  Comp, 
also  the  A.  S.  sccUmhos  (m  artichoke),  quoted  by 
Miitzner,  nnd— the  Lat.  Gr.  scolymo<t.  After  all, 
this  diasimiliition  is  quite  a  matter  of  taste.     The

Germans  do  not  seem  to  like  it,  for  their  Ian£iiage 
swarms  with  words  in  which  double  m  is  followed 
by  r  and  /,  such  as  schlummcm^  Kammcr^  Num- 
tncr,  Hummer,  Trommel^  JSeinrnd,  bmmmdn^ 
tummehi.  They  seem  to  have  been  marching  is 
quite  the  contrary  direction,  for  in  O.H-G.  it 
Zimpar  or  Zimbar^  and  now  it  is  Zimmtr* 

Dissimilation  was  not,  however,  the  only 
at  work,  for  there  is  evidently  an  inn&te 
in  m  to  take  h  after  it,  and  in  n  to  take  d. 
how  can  we  explain  such  forma  as  dinth,  /imJ,  I 
and  £01171  d  (Fr.  son),  and  the  vulgar  fo%md 
drowndf 

In  conclusioQ,  if  those  who  take  nnj  Int 
in  the  matter  will  refer  to  MatJsner,  loc.  ciL,  i

Dean  Swift  :  a  Supposition.— It  was  not  to 
be  expected  that  the  late  Mr.  Forster,  in  his  Li/e 
of  Jonathan  iS'in/f,  should  attempt  an  explanation 
of  the  causes  which  led  to  the  marriage  of  Jona- 
than Swift,  tho  son  of  a  Herefordshire  clergyman, 
and  the  father  of  the  Dean,  with  Abigail  Erick,  a 
Leicestershire  hidy.  Yet  in  those  days  of  (com- 
paratively) difficult  travelling  there,  most  probably, 
were  circumstances— not  merely  accidental — which 
brought  two  young  people,  so  far  removed  by  dis- 
tance from  each  other,  into  communicatioo. 

That  Dean  Swift  had  an  immense  number  of 
relatives  we  know  from  some  amusing  entries  in 
his  journal  (see  Forster's  Liftj  p.  23).  That  a 
famUy  of  these  might  be  living  in  Leicestershire  is 
probable,  for  a  recent  examin:ttion  of  the  registers 
of  Fri«by-on-the-Wreake,  in  that  county,  discloses 
tlie  name  m  constantly  occurring  there  from  tho 
commencement  of  the  registers  in  1U59  until  the 
year  1809  ;  and  WiUiam  Swift  was  churchwarden 
in  1711,  It  13  therefore  possible  that  Jonathan 
Swift  first  saw  his  future  wife  when  upon  a  visit 
to  Ids  Leicestershire  relatives. 

Again,  the  rej,4ster  tells  that  Anne,  the  daughter 
of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Erick,  was  buried  April  24, 
1669^  lliat  is,  seventeen  months  after  the  birth  of 
the  Dean,  showing  that  the  young  girl  had  either 
been  residing  in  the  parish,  or  was  visiting  some 
friends  there  at  the  time  of  her  death.  Could 
those  friends  be  her  new  connexions  by  the  mar- 
riage of  Jonathan  Swift  and  Abigail  Erick?  Who 
was  the  Rev.  Thomas  Erick  1  Possibly  the  brother 
of  Abigail,  and  both  were,  perhaps,  the  descendants 
of  Thomas  Heyricke  (or  Erick),  who  wsis— according 
to  a  pedigree  of  the  family  in  Nichols's  LiiceHer- 
ihire—hom  in  158S,  and  left  iaaue  unknown* 

Once  more,  as  if  showing  thtit  in  after  years  the 
career  of  the  son  of  Jonathan  and  Abigail— Jonit- 
than  Swift,  D.D.,  Dean  of  St.  Patrick's — waa 
watched  and  commented  on  by  the  Frisby  people, 
the  following  is  **  scribble*!  "  on  the  fly-leaf  of  a 
banns-book  dating  from  1754  to  1792,  and  now

III.,  when  Geotfrey  le  Rus  was  said  to  be  hia  heir. 
Hit.  thirty-aix.  In  a  later  one,  44  Hen.  III.,  No.  15, 
Alice  is  stated  to  be  hia  daughter  and  heir,  tet. 
fourteen  or  fifteen  ;  and,  liCiMrrding  to  the  above 
Inquisition  on  Richard  Luntrespeye,  46  Hen.  III., 
No.  1,  she  was  the  latter'a  wife.  But  there  i"  also 
no  doubt  that  subsequently  she  waa  the  wife  of 
Richnrd  de  Braose,  the  founder  of  the  Suffolk 
branch  of  that  family,  brother  to  the  then  Baron  de 
Braase.  But  what  I  am  in  difficulty  about  is  as 
folio WB.  In  the  account  of  the  descent  of  BrocSley 
Manor  in  Bray  ley's  Hitt  of  Surrey  y  vol  v,  p.  12D, 
it  says : — 

"Maud,  the  elder  sister  of  Philippa  do  Fay,  who 
mhertt<'d  one  moietv  of  the  mnnorof  Bromley,  vma  twico

From  this,  instead  of  Williiun  d©  Braose  having 
married,  as  j^enemlly  reported,  Matilda  a  daughter 
of  the  Earl  of  Clare,  Matilda  the  widow  of

CALENDERS. 


(5t»»  S.  V.   289.) 

In  a  former  number  (5*^  S.  iii.  38)  are  recorded 
the  name,  the  date,  and  the  peculiar  views  of  the 
founder  of  the  Kalenderees,  a  bmnch  of  the  Order  of 
Sufis,  and  assuming  at  times  the  unpretending  name 
of  Melawrti*  under  false  colours,  as  it  seems,  since 
no  two  classes  of  den'ishes  differ  so  much  from 
each  other  in  their  religious  opinions  and  prac- 
tices. The  true  MelamHi  attaches  a  real  merit  to 
every  good  work,  and  strives  to  concMl  his  pious 
deeds  from  the  knowledge  of  the  world,  yet  so 
conforms  to  the  spirit  of  the  age  in  liis  outward 
garb  and  appcanince  as  to  make  it  doubtful  to 
what  profession  he  may  belong. 

On  the  contniry,  the  Kalcndcree  ijroper  mahcs 
no  mystery  of  his  tenets^  and  sets  at  defiance  all 
the  rules  of  politeness  observed  in  good  society. 
lie  makes  it  a  point  never  to  endure  any  priva- 
tions, or  aicumulat<!  or  keep  in  reserve  any  ciirthly 
goods,  his  sole  possession  (or  all  he  is  desirous 
of  possessing)  consisting,  as  he  affirms,  in  the  con- 
pciousness  ^  a  heart  in  peace  with  the  Deity,  and 
a  body  in  a  state  of  absohitc  repose  and  tran- 
quillity. He  is  conspicuous  for  the  singularity  of 
his  dress,  which  is  generally  of  a  blue  (Azrakt) 
(but  sometimes  of  a  party-)  coloured  cloth,  and  fre- 
quently puts  on  a  timer's  or  a  sheep's  skin.  With 
feathers  stuck  in  his  ears,  a  turban  of  fant;i5tic 
Bhape  on  his  head,  and  in  his  hand  either  a  stick, 
a  hat<jhet,  or  a  drawn  sword,  he  carries  in  his 
girdle  a  bowl  or  a  woo<len  trencher,  which  he 
holds  out  to  the  benevolent  for  charity.  Some  of 
these  fanatics  may  be  seen  walking  about-  half 
naked,  with  their  bodies  painted  red  and  bluck.X 

The  poet  Sua<]i  accuses  them  of  inordinate 
gluttony.  "  The  Kalenderees,"  he  observe8,§  "  eat 
so  much  that  no  breathing  space  is  left  in  their

loaf  shape.  The  Mewlewi  (t,e.  "CompanioD') 
enters  into  a  solemn  obligation  to  be  chaste  aid 
refrain  from  marriage.  One  portion  of  his  devotiaa 
consists  in  whirling  his  body  round  with  tki 
greatest  rapidity  imaginable,  to  the  sonnd  of  1 
pipe  or  flute,  and  suddenly  to  cease  all  movemat 
on  the  cessation  of  the  music.  Although  strict 
observant  of  the  express  injunction  of  the  Eoni 
to  fast  the  whole  month  of  Hamad iln,:^  he  is  ■

Adam  Sedbar  (5"»  S.  v.  347.)- The  correct 
ortboOTaph^  of  this  name  appears  to  be  Sedbar, 
though  it  IS  found  in  local  histories  as  Sedbergh 
and  Sedbury,  both  of  which  are  names  of  places  in 
the  county  of  York.    The  authority  for  this  state- 
ment is  a  rubbing  shown  me  by  a  friend  of  a 
carving  by  the  abbot,  which  is  stiU  in  existence  on 
the  inside  of  a  wall  in  the  Tower  of  London,  where 
he  was  imprisoned  prior  to  his  execution  at  Tyburn 
in  1537.     He  may,  perhaps,  have  derived  his  sur- 
name from  Sedbergh,  the  place  of  his  birth,  spelt 
in  those  days  as  Sedbar  or  Sedber.    The  unfor- 
tunate Adam  Sedbar  was  capitally  punished  for 
his  participation  in  the  Pilgrimage  of  Grace,  a 
formidable  insurrection  which  arose  in  1536  on  the 
suppression  of  the  smaller  monasteries ;  and  the 
Abbots  of  Whalley  in  Lancashire,  and  Sawlcy  in 
Yorkshire,  were  also  executed,  the  former  in  sight 
of  his  own  abbey.    The  following  is  the  inscription 
left  by  him  by  way  of  epitaph,  in  large  Homan 
capitals,  on  the  wall  of  his  prison  *  "  a  dam  .  sed- 
bar .  abbas  .  lOREWALL .  1537."    The  ruins  of  the 
Cistercian  abbey  of  Jervaulx,  primarily  Yorevalle 
from  its  position  on  the  banks  of  the  Yore  or 
Eure,  and  of  which  religious  house  he  was  the 
twenty-third  and  hist  abbot,  are  most  beautifully 
situated  in  the  lower  part  of  Wensleydale,  and, 
though  not  much  more  than  a  ground-plan  and 
a  few  mouldering  walls  remain,  are  amongst  the 
most  interesting  m  England.    The  chief  feature  is 
the  fine  collection  of  sepulchral  slabs,  which  are  in 
a  high  state  of  preservation,  and  once  covered  the 
remains  of  the  abbots.     In  the  fine  modern  church 
of  Aysgarth,  built  in  1866 — the  demolition  of  the 
old  one  erected  in  the  reign  of  Henry  III.  was  it 
must  be  hoped  inevitable — further  up  the  dale, 
and  situated  like  Jervaulx  on  the  same  beautiful 
river,  is  a  magnificent  rood-screen,  said  to  have 
been  brought  from  Jervaulx  Abbey  at  the  time  of 
its  dissolution.    Upon  this  are  carved  the  initials 
"  A.  S./'  intended  for  Adam  Sedbar.    An  attempt    .  _^  ^„  ^.  , 
has  been  made,  by  a  lavish  outlay  of  painting  and    ^£^  doubtful 


gilding  in  a  somewhat  questionable  taste,  to  leston 
the  screen  to  itsfonner  pre-Reformation  splendour, 
and  gaudy  it  certainly  is,  "  richly  dight "  with 
green,  blue,  and  gold  colouring. 

In  Aysgarth  Church  may  also  still  be  seen  an 
elaborately  carved  stall- end,  out  of  a  tan,  a  hazel- 
bush  rising  fructed,  with  a  lion  and  SU-  above  the 
bush,  intended  as  a  rebus  on  the  name  of  William 
Heslington,  the  twenty-first  Abbot  of  Jervaulx.  is 
1475.  This,  too,  might  either  have  been  originilir 
set  up  in  the  church,  or  brought  from  Je^rsnlx. 
In  the  demolition  of  the  old  dinrch  several  verr 
interesting  specimens  of  stained  glass  have  either 
been  lost  or  destroyed,  a  by  no  means  unusual  cue 
on  such  occasions.  The  east  window  used  to  em- 
tain  the  shields  of  Scrope  impaling  NeviQe— 
Azure,  a  bend  or,  and  Gules,  a  aaltire  ai^nt— 10 
which  noble  families  Bolton  and  Middleham  Csitlei 
in  Wensleydale  respectively  belonged,  and  that  d

one — in  days  of  yore,  when  woodcraft  was  held  is 
honour,  Master  Forester  of  Wensleydale  ;  but  both 
these  biave  gone.  The  Metcalfes  used  to  be  the 
most  numerous  family  in  the  north  of  Enehuvl, 
and  their  abode  was  at  Nappa  Hall,  near  A^zig*; 
further  up  the  valley.     John  Pickford,  ^LA.

Mr.  F.  Howsox  says  that  when  Adam  Sedhtf 
was  a  prisoner  in  the  Tower  he  related  of  himaelf 
that,  upon  the  occasion  of  a  "  rising  "  in  Yorlofain^ 
he  had  been  addressed,  "  Howson ,  traitor,  vhw 
hast  thou  been?"  Take  away  the  euphemistit 
"  How  "  from  the  name,  and  substitute  five  letteD 
not  altogether  dissimilar  in  sound,  but  beginoiif 
with  W,  and  the  address'  will  be  perfectly  i* 
telligible,  and  quite  consistent  with  themannenof 
those  times.  Wu.  Ghappell 

I  should  be  inclined  to  take  this  abbot's  on 
account  of  his  name.  He  has  called  himself  Sedbar 
on  the  wall  of  the  Beauchamp  Tower.  See  tk 
Rev.  J.  H.  Blunt's  Reformation^  p.  326.  As  ta 
^'  Howson,  traitor,"  I  am  tempted  to  think  (thoq^ 
I  am  very  much  ashamed  to  have  to  say  endi  i 
thing  to  a  correspondent  of  that  name)  that  the 
word  is  in  this  instance  a  corruption  of  a  coai* 
epithet  not  unfrequently  applied  to  a  traitor,  « 
supposed  traitor.  "  Nelson  "  I  cannot  explain.

He  was  ejected  in  1644,  in  which  year  he  waa 
appointed  Dean  of  Cheater.  He  married  in  1028 
katherine,  the  widow  of  William  Tatton,  of  Wil- 
kennhawe,  co.  Chester,  Esq.,  and  eldest  daughter 
of  Sir  George  Leicester,  of  Toft,  Ln  the  same 
county,  I  cannot  find  that  there  waa  any  issue  of 
this  marriage.  William  NichoUs  died  Dec  16, 
1G57,  and  was  buried  at  Northendeo,  co.  Chester, 
where  was  formerly  a  long  Latin  inscription  to  his 
memory.  Hia  name  is  there  spelt  Nicholls,  and 
his  ago  is  given  as  sixty-six,  which  would  fix  the 
date  of  his  birth  as  1691,  The  other  William 
NichoUs,  M.A.,  was  also  Rector  of  Cheadle,  being 
presented  there  in  1690  by  Dorothy  Bulkeley,  of 
Great  Bmx stead,  in  Essex,  widow,  (Can  any 
Essex  genealogist  supply  me  with  any  infomiation 
as  to  this  lady,  or  any  of  her  descendants  7)  He 
resigned  this  living  in  1694,  on  accepting  the 
neighbouring  rectory  of  Stockport,  to  which  he 
waa  presented  by  John  Warren,  Esq.,  the  patron. 
I  do  not  know  whom  he  married,  but  there  are 
the  entries  of  the  births  of  several  of  his  children 
in  the  Stockport  registers,  Hia  name  ia  there 
given  as  Nicols-  He  died  in  1716,  but  was  not, 
as  far  as  I  can  find,  buried  at  Stockport.  This 
William  Nicholls,  or  Nicola,  was  the  author  of 
two  little  books,  both  rare  : — 

"  De  Literii  InventiR,  Lihri  Sex.  Ad  UluBtriBBimum 
Principem  Thomam  Herbertum  Pembrolti®  ComiiteiD,

Bectore.  London,  1717.'*  Dedicated  r,o  the  Archbishop 
of  Cmnterbury. 

From  these  it  would  appear  that  this  clergyman^s 
real  name  was  Nicols,  not  NicboliH,  but  in  the  bishop^s 
registers  at  Chester  his  name  is  spelt  Nicholls. 
If  any  of  your  correspondents  c^n  assist  mo  with 
some  biographical  details  of  either  of  these  two 
William  Nicholls,  I  shall  esteem  it  a  favour.  I 
believe  the  last  was  of  Christ  Church,  Oxford.

Weather  Holes  (5**»  S.  v.  88,  176,)— I  know 
of  two  places  which  may  be  called  "  weather  holes." 
One  is  the  '*  Dalley/'  near  Belper,  in  Derbyshirej 
Ji  Talley  down  which  to  the  Derwent  flows  the 
**  Black  Brook,*'  so  called-  Whenever  the  wind 
blows  direct  down  the  "  Dalley  "  there  is  sure  to 
be  rain  in  a  short  time.  The  other  weather  hole 
is  known  as  "Whitwell  Hole,"  a  vjilley  to  the 
south  of  Worksop  in  which  lies  W^elbeck  Abbey. 
When  the  wind  gets  into  the  south,  people  ex- 
chum,  "  The  wind 's  in  Whitwell  Hole ;  it  'a  sure  to 
rain,**^ — and  rain  it  most  certainly  does  in  a  few 
hoars  afterwards.  Thomas  Ratclipfb.

The  Child  of  Hale  (5"^  S.  iv.  44,  D5  j  v.  38.) 
— I  find  that  I  made  many  years  ago,  before  the 
pictures  at  Hampton  Court  were  cleaned,  in  my 
copy  of  Walpole's  Anecdotes,  a  note  that  the  dat>e 
on  Fred.  Zucchero^s  portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth's 
porter  was  1D80.  If  this  date  was  as  I  read  it,  it 
IS  importftnt,  because  Walpole  says  that  Ziicchero 
came  to  England  in  1D74,  and  adds,  after  men- 
tioning a  few  pictures:  "What  other  worka  he  per- 
formed here  I  do  not  fiod  ;  probably  not  many, 
his  stay  was  not  long."  Now  if  Zuccliero  painted 
the  porter  in  1580,  Zucchero  was  in  England  at 
least  six  years ;  and  consequently  may  have 
iniDted  more  portraits  here  than  ia  generally  be- 
uered.  If  Walpole  thought  that  a  portrait  of 
Francis  II.  of  France,  by  F.  Zucchero,  was  painted 
in  France,  he  was  al.^o  wrong  in  that  regpect,  as 
Zucchero  fled  from  Rome  after  the  election  of 
Gregory  XIII.,  in  1572,  when  Fruncis  II.  had 
been  dead  some  years.  Ralph  N,  James,

Friar  Forest  (5**  S.  v.  289.)— In  Hall's  chm- 
aicle  of  the  Triumpfutnte  Reign  of  Hmry  VII L, 
••  The  XJLX.  year,"  he  says  that — 

•■  This  oKstinate  Freer  had  secretly  in  confeiwiona  de- 
olarvd  to  many  if  the  Icyngca  siibjectes  that  the  kynj; 
frss  not  supreme  bead,  jujd  b«yiig  therof  accused  and 
apprehended,  ho  was  examtned  how  he  could  say  ib&t 
the  kinj^  ^vag  not  supremo  hed  of  the  church,  when  b^ 
him  selfe  had  eworro  to  tho  contrary ;  he  unewered  that 
he  toke  bin  oth  with  lils  outwi^rd  maOj  but  bi9  inward 
laan  ntwtr  consented  thereunto." 

It  goes  on  to  say  that  he  made  his  submission, 
and — 


"  BftYiiig  more  Ubertie  thun  before,  he  h&d  os  well  to 
talke  with  whooie  he  \«ould  itt  aliio  who  that  would 
taike  with  htm  ;  certcjn  such  outward  meu  (la  he  woa  ao 
talked  with  him,  and  ao  incensed  him,  that  the  outwsrd 
Freer  was  so  far  from  hjj  open  jmbmisnlxjn  »a  cter  be 
waa,  and  when  hia  abjuration  was  aent  to  bim  to  read  it 
looke  upon,  he  utterly  refueed  it.  »nd  obstinately  atoda 
in  all  bia  heresies  and  treasons  before  conspired. 

'*  Wberfore  justly  he  wan  condempncd,  and  after  for 
bim  was  prepared  in  Smithfcldc,  m  London,  a  Ciallowes 
on  ye  which  he  was  hanRed  in  chainea  by  the  middle  and 
nrmholefl  al  quicke.  and  under  ye  galowcs  was  muds  a 
fire  k  he  so  coDsumcd  &  brent  to  death." 

The  execution  took  place  in  the  presence   of 
"  the  nobles  of  the  realme  and  the  kynges  ma- 
jesties most  honourable  counsayle,"  and  upon  the 
gallows   were   s«t   up    certain  veraea,  in  *' great 
letters,"  and  they  ended  with — 
**  In  hit  c&ntumacie 
The  Gospel  doth  deny 
The  kyng  to  be  Bupremo  headL" 
It  appears  from  this  that  the  offence  for  which 
Friar  Forest  autfered  combined  treason  and  heresy, 
and  his  punishment  was  a  combination  of  hanging 
find  burning,  James  Haddow. 

Father  Forest  was  convicted  both  of  treason  and 
heresy.  The  denial  by  bim  of  the  king's  supremacy 
was  no  doubt,  technic.dly,  treason,  and  ho  was,  in 
that  sense,  justly  convicted  ;  but  inasmuch  (as  Mr. 
Froude  expresses  it  in  hia  History ^  chap,  xili.)  "as 
Catholic  Churchmen  declared  the  denial  of  the 
Pope's  supremacy  to  be  heresy,  bo,  for  a  few  un- 
fortunate months,  English  Churchmen  determined 
the  denial  of  the  king's  supremacy  to  be  heresy." 
On  this  ground  Forest,  and  he  alone,  was  found 
guilty  of  heresy.  In  carrying  out  the  sentence 
this  double  conviction  was  borne  in  mind,  for  the 
friar  was  suspended  over  the  fituke  in  a  cradle  of 
chains  attached  to  a  gallows.

Legal  Dates  (6t»»  S.  v.  308.)— The  correct 
dates  of  D,  C.  E.'s  documents  (that  is,  the  dates 
according  to  our  present  computation,  which  are 
^liat  I  understand  him  to  ask  for)  are  Feb.  28, 
1685,  and  Feb.  15,  1718.  The  Old  Style,  at  that 
time  in  use  in  England,  dated  days  from  Jan,  1  to 
March  24,  inclusive,  one  year  earlier  than  tho 
New,  the  year  then  beginning  kgalhj  on  March  S5, 
OS  it  did  till  1752.  It  is  true  thjit  even  before 
1762  the  year  was  considered,  historically  spejiking, 
to  begin,  as  it  docs  now,  on  Jan.  1,  but  legally,  sm 
I  say,  it  was  on  March  25  j  and  this  computation 
would,  of  course,  be  used  in  uO  legal  documents. 
But  I  cannot  help  saying  that  to  answer  D.  C.  E.'8 
queries  categorically  is  difficult,  as  they  are  some- 
what confused.  He  aska  (to  take  one  case  alone) 
whether  1717,  which  he  reads  on  the  document, 
meiins  "  the  one  year  mentioned,"  or  whether  it 
means  '*  1717-18."  Now,  this  looks  very  much  as 
if  he  thought  the  date  might  be  in  some  kind  of 
extraordinary  period  which  was  neither  one  year

nor  the  other.  Of  coarse  the  date  is  '*  the  one  year 
mentioned/'  that  is  1717,  according  to  the  com- 
patation  then  in  use,  whic^  according  to  our  pre- 
sent one,  is  1718,  and  equally,  of  course,  it  is 
"  1717-18,"  which  is  nothing  hut  our  short  way  of 
expressing  that  year,  or  rather  part  of  a  year,  which 
hy  the  O.S.  would  be  dated  1717,  and  by  the  N.S. 
1718.  It  is  very  curious  how  often  peo^e  con- 
ftise  themselyes  on  this  simple  matter.  Perhaps 
this  short  table  will  help  in  clearing  up  D.  C.  £.'s 
perplexities : —

In  England  the  Old  Stylo  was  discontinued  and 
the  New  Style  introduced  in  1752,  therefore  the 
legal  documents  D.  C.  E.  mentions,  which  are 
dated  1684  and  1717,  are  dated  according  to  the 
Old  Style.  See  a  full  account  of  the  change  of 
style,  with  quotations  from  the  Act  of  Parliament 
(24  George  II.  c.  23),  in  Mr.  John  J.  Bond's  most

Lay  Figure  (5«»  S.  v.  328.)— The  following 
seems  to  explain  satisfactorily  the  derivation  of 
this  word  :  **  Lay-man,  a  statue  of  wood  whose 
joints  are  so  made  that  they  may  be  put  into  any 
posture"  (Bailey's  Dictionary,  1736).  This  ex- 
phination  of  the  use  of  a  lay  figure  is  more 
accurate  than  that  given  by  the  inquirer,  who 
describes  it  as  a  dummy  which  artists  dress  up  for 
the  purpose  of  studying  drapery.  Most  persons 
will  agree  with  your  correspondent  that  "  his  sug- 
gestion, that  the  name  might  be  given  because  on 
these  figures  costumes  were  laidy"  is  not  probable. 
Charles  Wtlie. 

Lay  in  this  phrase  must  be  either  the  same  as 
the  lay  which  we  find  in  the  expression  lay  or 
lealand,  connected  with  the  Dutch  hxlig^  and 
meaning  vacant  or  fallow,  and  so  pa88ive^=without 
life — see  Mr.  Wedgwood's  Diet,  of  English  Ety- 
mology, s.v. — or  else  lay,  as  opposed  to  clerical, 
pointing  to  the  time  when  laymen  were  passive 
instruments  in  the  hands  of  the  clcrjTy  :  cf.  the 
history  of  the  word  idiot.  H.  F.  Boyd. 

A  lay  figure,  or  lay-man  as  it  is  also  called,  is 
the  Dutch  lee- man,  for  lede-man,  from  lid  or  led, 
pL  leden,  a  joint ;  a  figure  with  movable  joints,  a 
contrivance  doubtless  imported  from  the  Nether- 
lands. H.  Wedgwood. 

•  "Up  to  snuff"  (6*»»  S.  v.  336.)— In  the  Nor- 
wegian and  Danish  language  snu  means  cunning, 
crafty,  shrewd,  and  snue,  as  well  as  snofte,  to  snuff 


or  snort ;  muut,  snuff.  Oar  phmae, ''  I  dant  care 
a  pinch  of  snuff,"  is  the  exact  traDsUtion  of  **  Jeg 
agter  det  ikke  en  snaos  yanL"  Probably  **  up  to 
snuff"  is  the  word  mu,  caxming,  evidently  rannisg 
in  harness  with  mmm  and'  gnofte  ;  bat  the  phnie, 
"  Took  it  in  snuff,"  is  the  Anglo-Saxon  snm,  ii 
dudgeon,  loathing.  Compare  Spanish  eJuc/rf^ 
jest,  taunt,  and  oar  e&q^.

KOTES  ON  BOOKS,  JtO. 
James  the  Second  and  tA4  IhtJc*  of  Benekt,  By  Charles 
Townshend  Wilson,  Lieat-Colonel.  (H.  S.  King  A;  Co.) 
TuACKBitAT  was  never  tired,  when  conversing  with  hia 
friends,  of  afilnaing  that  the  Duke  of  Berwick  was  tho 
most  hlameleas  of  all  heroes,  that  no  biography  was 
hetter  worth  the  writing,  and  that  he  himself  would 
certainly  write  it.  The  date  Thackeray  assigned  for 
eoiomeDcing  the  work  was  "eome  day/'  a  day  which 
usually  neiFcr  arrives.  Colonel  Wilson  has  not  under- 
taken it.  His  book  is  rather  a  cleverly  told  bintory  of 
England  daring  some  yeani  of  James  IL,  in  which  tha 
names  of  the  king  and  hh  brave  and  lovable  natural  son 
occur  whenever  opportunity  affords.  The  book  ends 
with  the  death  of  James,  in  1701,  when  Berwick  was 
little  more  than  thirty  yeara  of  age.  The  duke  survived 
his  father  thirty-three  years,  at  the  end  of  which  time 
the  coufineror  at  Almanisa  waa  shot  down  at  Pbillips- 
burgh  iu  1734.  As  far  ai  it  goes,  thi»  book  is  very 
aatinfactory.  It  is  einEulwly  light  in  style,  and  bristles, 
or  ratber  glitters,  with  quototions,  odd  thuujjhts,  anec- 
dotcB,  quaint  expressions,  and  apt  illustrations  of 
character.  When  Eugene  was  uncertain  whether 
Villeroy,  VendOme,  or  Citinat  would  be  opposed  to  him 
in  Italy,  he  remarked  :  *'8i  c'est  Villeroy  qui  commaode, 
jo  le  battrai ;  si  c'est  VendAroe,  nous  noas  battrons  :  la 
c'est  Catinnt, Je  serai  battu  f  **  When  the  Colonel  referg 
to  James  in  adversity,  meanly  served,  at  Anibletevwc,  hia 
reflection  takes  this  shape:  "Such  ia  our  nature,  in- 
extricable tangle  of  jr»y  and  sorrow,  A  dnat-beap  with 
a  silver  vpoon  tn  it."  The  cominenta  on  human  life 
generally  ore  of  the  same  amusing  quality,  and  they

Hv.  R.  8.  HAWKER,  OF  M0BWEN8T0W. 

1^  {Continued  fr^m  p.  406,) 

T^«  Trdawny  Ballad—li  has  often  been 

Kte  of  ballfwi  writers  to  hnve  their  works  »e- 

td  from  their  names.     LIr.  Hafvker  seems  to 

wiffered  from  this  injnstiee  to  n  most  extra- 

'     rec.     "It  is  time,"  he  writes,  on  one 

a  raaking  some  public  protest,  "to 

possible,  to  the  daring  robbery  per- 

j  brain  nnd  pen,  and  that  continu.aDy." 

ps,  had  a  poet  so  much  difficulty  in 

uiself  with  hia  poemi;.     The  pages  of 

ive  occasionally  been  the  vehicle  for 

informAtion  as  to  the  authorship  of  cer- 

inecea.    In  l"  S.  riii.  504,  one  of  the 

I  in  the  very  fine  poem   called   Morwenna 

I  WHS  inquired  about ;  and  one  correspondent 

t)  in  reply  asserted  that  a  time  would  come 

Uie«e  and  other  compositions  of  the  writer 

.  be  better  known^  and  more  duly  valued 

>  English  mind.     The  author  himself  refers 

B  very  inquiry,  saying  that  the  verse  \vm 

1  a  volume  of  mine  publi-nhed  by  Masters  in 

ed  Echofn  from  Old  ConnmU^  which  did 

not  sell,  but  contiiins  poetry  that  I  think 

mppreciated  one  day  when  I  am  gone, " 

er,  dated  Dec.  13,  1S53,  has  all  the  traces 

written,  as  he  siijb,  aft^  "  a  severe  attack 


The  Bong  of  the  Devonshire  Bayaix],  Sir  BcvtU^ 
published  in  your  pages,  2°**  S.  liL  430,  found  a 
place,  mutato  nomiiie^  in  a  well-known  north  of 
England  collection  of  ballads,  it  havmg  been 
discovered,  as  the  editor  of  the  collection  said,  "  in 
an  old  oak  chest  at  —  " !  It  may  have  been  that 
the  vicar,  who  laved  a  joke,  was  at  the  bottom  of 
this  affair. 

The  circumstances  connected  with  Mr.  Hawker's 
ballad  on  Bishop  Trelawny,  called  Tfie  Song  of 
the  Western  Afen,  are  still  more  singular.  When 
Bishop  of  Bristol,  Trelawny,  who  was  a  man  of 
considerable  personal  intrepidity,  and  whose  cha- 
racter at  large  may  be  derived  from  the  dedicjition 
of  Atteirhury's  Senuons,  which  were  inscribed  to 
him,  was  one  of  tho  Seven  Bishops  who  were  im- 
prisoned by  James  II.  The  editor  of  *'  N.  &  Q." 
(2*"^  S.  xL  Iti)  called  attention  to  the  error  into 
which  both  Lord  Macaulay  and  Sir  Walter  Scott 
hud  fallen  in  supposing  that  the  balhwl  belonged 
to  the  reign  of  James  II.  ;  and  Scott's  referencei 
to  it,  in  the  essay  prefixed  to  his  Miiistrthy,  were 
quoted.  Macatday's  mention  of  it  occurs  in  the 
very  brilliant  chapter  (viiL  sub  an.  1688)  which 
reUitea  to  the  trial  and  acquittal  of  the  Seven 
Bishops.  After  relating  how  the  people  of  Com- 
w.'dl  were  moved  by  the  danger  of  their  country- 
man, he  says  that  "  all  over  the  cx)unty  the  peasanta 
[sang  a  soiuj^  the  historian  at  first  wrote  inelej^antly, 
vol.  ii.  37 i,  edition  of  1849  ;  but  he  afterwards 
altered  it  to]  chanted  a  ballad^  of  which  the  burden 
is  still  remembered  : 

'  And  tball  Trelawncy  die,  and  ihall  Trflawney  diet 
Then  thirty  thonsand  Ccmlfth  boys  will   know  the 
reuson  why.*'* 

Tliis  was  all  that  was  said  in  the  early  edition  ; 
but  Macaulay  afterwjmls  added :  "  The  miners  from 
their  caverns  re-echoed  the  song  with  a  variation  : 
'  Tlien  twentv  thousand  underground  will  know  th« 
reason  why**" 

(TauchnitE  ed.,  iii*  166).  This  latter  pantgraph 
was  due  to  a  letter  which  Mr.  Hawker  wrote  to 
the  historian,  who,  in  a  foot-note,  made  the  fol- 
lowing acknowledgment  :  **This  fact  was  com- 
municated to  me  in  the  most  obliging  manner  by 
the  Reverend  R.  S.  Hawker  of  Morwenstow  in 
Cornwall." 

In  ffougehoM  Words  a  Birailar  mistake  was 
made  as  to  the  authorship  of  tho  poem  ;  but  I 
have  not  been  able  to  find  the  phice.  There  was 
an  acknowledgment  of  the  error  :  and  Mr.  Hawker 
aftenvards  contributed  three  papers  to  tho  pngea 
of  this  aerial. 

The  Percy  Society,  of  all  authorities,  made  the 
same  blunder  as  Sir  Walter  Scott.  In  their  vo- 
lume, entitled  Ancient  Poctm,  BalladHf  and  i^nngt 
of  tJu  Peasantry  of  England^  collected  and  edited 
by  J.  H.  Dixon,  1840,  they  "  collected  "  the  Tre- 
lawny balbid  (No.  36),  and  edited  it  with  the 
following  note  (p.  232)  :-^

NOTES  AND  QUEEIES. 


[6»*a. 


"  Thi§  ipirited  boq^  was  written  &t  the  time  of  the 
committal  of  Biihop  Troliivrny  to  the  Tower*  in  168S, 
for  kis  defence  of  the  Proteitant  relipon.  He  wu  then 
Bi«^op  of  Brietol,  but  in  the  aame  jear  waa  made  Biebop 
of  Exeter,  and  in  1707  was  translated  to  Winchester. 
Tbe  song  has  been  hcundod  down  trndilionaDy  pince  168S, 
axkd  has  never  appeared  in  print,  except  in  a  work  of 
liBQit«d  circulation,  edited  by  the  late  I>a?ie*  Gilbert." 

Afl  to  this  use  of  his  song  the  vicar  writes : — 

*^  A  friend  infonna  mo  that  amongtt  others  who  have 
been  deceived  into  a  notion  that  my  Ballad  was  the  ori- 
ffln&l  soag  of  James  the  'itid'»  cimo  ia  a  Society  in  Lon- 
don called  I  think  The  Percy  Society.  Can  >oa  tell  me 
anything  about  it  I  If  thej  have  stated  this  in  Print  it 
should  be  contradicted." 

In  the  kter  editiona  of  thta  boq|;  the  author 
made  an  artiatic  sillemtion  in  the  fifth  verse.  In 
hia  J^rrima,  184(t,  the  \mi  two  lines  of  that  verse 
stood  thus  :— 

"  Come  forthi  come  forth,  ye  cowardg  all. 
To  better  mea  than  you  ! " 

The  emendation  was  :— 

"Sen's  men  as  good  ai  jou  J  " 
filr.  Hawker's  delicate  poetic  ear  must  have  been 
offended  at  an  alteration  mode  in  this  line  by  the 
Percy  Society,  who  printed  it  thus  : — 

"  Jlere  are  better  men  than  you  ! " 

In  a  presentation  volume  of  the  Ecclseia  (to  be 
referred  to  in  the  succeeding  note)  there  ii*  in  Mr, 
Hnwker's  hand  the  following  note  on  this  Bong  : — 

•*  Mn  Macaulayt  Tllr.  Bickens,  and  the  Percy  Society 
have  all  done  me  the  honour  to  suppose^  my  linea  to  have 
been  the  original  Ballad  of  the  time  of  Jamea  the  Second. 
— E.  8.  H," 

Macaulay's  original  reference  to  the  matter  has 
been  repeated  with  a  deep  colnurioK  by  other 
writers  ;  by  no  one  so  much  as  by  Miss  Strick- 
land in  her  Lives  of  ihs  Seven  Bwh(q)s.  She  writes 
(p.  3G(J)  :— 

«'  All  the  West  was  In  an  agoiiy  of  rage  and  excite- 
ment Ballads  were  made,  and  are  surig  even  now,  of 
Coi-nish  uxeii  knf>ckmg  at  London  ^tes  to  inquire  news 
of  Trelawny,  whose  head  was  considered  to  be  in 
danger: — 

'  And  have  they  fixed  the  where  and  wheo, 

And  muit  Trelawtiy  die? 
Then  thirty  thousand  Cornish  raen 
Will  know  the  reasou  why  ! ' " 

The  author  allowed  the  song  to  appcax  in  Cham- 
bers's Book  of  Days  (i,  747),  where  an  historical 
explanation  is  also  given.  The  song  has  the  post 
of  honour,  with  ii  note,  in  the  Connsh  Ballads, 
1869  ;  but  in  the  liticonb  of  Hu  Wuhrn  i^kore, 
1832,  it  occupied  the  last  place,  the  author  sLitiog 
that  ho  published  it  "merely  to  state  that  it  is  an 
early  couiposition  of  my  own ''  {p.  56).  Can  acy 
contemporary  eYidence  be  produced  of  the  c.xcite- 
raent  in  Cornwall  to  which  Macaulay  alludes } 
The  histwica!  circumstance  seems  to  have  taken 
a  colour  from  the  balliui.  Mr.  Hawker  must 
have  been  often  troubled  by  incredulous  persona 
asking  him  how  much  of  the  well-known  poem 


was  really  ancient.  To  a  correspondent 
under  date  of  Nov.  4,  1853,  as  follows  :- 

"  In  reply  to  your  kind  note,  I  beg  to  lai 
trace  of  the  original  Trelawny  Ballad  bene 
lines  of  the  Cborufl  which  are  incorporated  i 
have  ever  turned  up.  There  is  a  variation  1 
Choroi  hardly  worth  notini;,  but  it  ruii»— 

"■  There  •  twice  ten  tbouaaud  under  ground, 
The  probable  sources  of  farther  di«co7ery  kni 
but  uneiauiined  for  lack  of  opportunity,  are  ' 
at  St.  Michatl's  Mount,  filled  with  Cornish  1 
the  Tetcott  Hunting  Book,  which  belonged  1 
Anicott» .  .  I  will  write  to  Mr.  Paul  Moleswa 
to  3ir  Wm.  MoleswoKh],  and  enquire  about  tl 
Book  forthwith." 

Again  : — 

*'  I  bavo  received  yesterday  Sir  Wm.  Mi 
leave  to  obt4ua  the  old  Tetcott  Hunfciog  Joura 
contents  ore  available  I  shall  print  them."*

A  FEW  NOTES  ON  THE  POUR  VOL( 
"STATE  POEMS." 

No  one  will  deny  the  valuable  illustl 
history  afforded  by  political  sodjCjs  and  u< 
it  has  for  some  time  been  ray  intention  ft 
the  readers  of  "  N.  &  Q."  with  a  series 
upon  the  various  collections  of  these 
printed  in  London  in  the  latter  half  of  tl 
teenth  and  early  part  of  the  foUowbg 
My  shelves  are  particularly  rich  in  this  d« 
of  litemtujre,  from  the  liatts  Rhimed  i 
1660,  to  the  New  Minutry,  1742,  and  I 
long  to  carry  out  my  intention  of  describ 
books  in  a  manner  that  may  be  found 
those  engaged  in  historical  researches.  A 
I  merely  wish  to  make  a  few  notes  on  thi 
collection,  in  four  volumes,  known  w 
Focvis. 

In  the  Fourth  Series  of  **  N.  &  Q."  is « 
paper,  by  my  friend  Mr,  TnoMS,  on  thil 
to  which  my  remarks  may  be  oonsiddM 
piemen  ta,ry. 

Mr.  Tuoms  mentions  the  Colhrtion 
on  Affairs  of  SUiti^  described  in  the  B 
Anglo  Poetica^  which  he  says  *'  is  genei 
sidered  the  fir^t  edition**  of  the  larger 
never  met  with  any  st-atement  to  this  i< 
am  at  a  loss  to  know  its  origin.  The  tl 
tioni^  although  of  course,  in  some  cnses, 
siime  materials,  are  toUUly  distinct  frorrt  i

ibed  in  hia  sale  catalogue  as  having  a  fourth 
;  bat  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  the  addi- 
{  part  was  nothing  more  than  a  copy  of  the 
h  pftri  of  the  collection  described  at  the  be- 
pg  of  thii  paper    The  two  works  are  dis- 


tinguished by  the  different  modes  of  printing,  the 
first  being  in  single  columns,  widely  spread  out, 
the  latter  in  closely  printed  double  columns.  The 
contents  of  this  last-named  work  are  extremely 
curious,  containing  many  of  the  lighter  ^* satyrs" 
afterwards  found  in  the  State  Poeww,  but  here 
printed  for  the  first  time. 

As  regards  the  authors  and  original  puHigbera 
of  the  most  important  of  the  satirical  songs  and 
poema  contained  in  these  volumes,  it  is  almost 
vain  to  inquire.  Matthew  Taubman  and  Nathaniel 
Thompson  were  editors  of  several  rare  collections, 
and  from  the  piefaceis  to  these  works  we  learn  a 
few  curious  particulars.  The  latter  in  hia  Preface 
to  his  Colkction  of  Eighty-Six  Loyal  Pocms^  IG85, 
says  that  moat  of  the  contents  of  tho  volume  were 
of  his  *'  own  printing  "  in  broadside ;  on©  of  the 
poems,  he  saya, 

"That  particular  poem  called  A  Dialogue  hiiwizt  tke 
Devil  and  tht  /t/noramui  Zlioc:<<>r,  baring  coft  mo  tittle 
leas  than  forty  pounds  ;  for  the  worthy  Robin  Hog,  the 
engineer  of  the  f«ction,  and  the  assistant  sweating  master 
to  tho  ^eat  Ituk-btateer  Titus,  partly  in  rindication  of 
the  Whig  Dagon,  tho  Popiih  Plot^  wai  generously 
pleaaed  to  out-law  me  in  the  Crown  office  for  printing 
that  Dialogue." 

A  few  of  the  original  broadsides  of  tho  pieces 
contained  in  these  volumes  have  been  preserved 
in  our  public  libraries,  and  some  may  be  found  in 
MS.  in  the  same  repositories.  On  the  whole,  we 
cannot  but  be  grateful  to  those  editors  and  pub- 
lifshers  who  saved  so  many  clever  and  interesting 
rhymes  froai  destruction,  and  handed  them  dowo 
to  ua  in  the  volumes  which  have  just  been  de- 
scribed. EdWAED  F.  KlMBAULT.

"BtroQT." — This  word,  as  applied  to  some 
vehicle  of  tho  gig  specie,  is  common  in  India  and 
America  ;  though  it  appears  to  have  dropped  out 
of  use  in  this  country,  since  tho  time  when  Sydney 
Smith  spoke  of  a  Yorkshire  farmer  driving  to 
mio-ket  *'  in  a  pre- Adamite  bug^y."  But,  tho 
other  day,  I  heard  the  word  used,  in  a  very  dif- 
ferent sense,  by  a  Rutland  labaurer.  I  was  asking 
him  if  some  married  people  who  had  moved  into 
a  new  house  appeared  to  be  satiBtied  with  its 
accommodation.  "  Oh  yes,  str,"  he  replied,  "  they 
waa  quite  buggy  about  it."  By  which  he  meant 
that  tbey  were  much  pleased.  The  word  5«^, 
meaning  '*  conceited,  proud,"  was  used  in  Lincoln- 
shire ("N.  &  Q.,"  S"*!  S.  ix.  261),  and  also  in 
Dej-byshirc  (2°^  8.  ix.  314).  When  I  waa  a  school* 
boy  I  remember  hearing  a  ecliool-fellow  frequently 
um  the  word  precisely  with  the  same  aigoifica- 
tion  ;  he  was  the  son  of  a  Worcestershire  banker ; 
but  he  may  have  picked  up  the  word  from  a  nurae 
or  servant.  ]Mr».  E.  W.  Cox,  in  Our  Common 
ImtcU,  says  that  the  bug  waa  introduced  into 
England  from  the  Continent  in  timlier  brought  to 
repair  the  destruction  occasioned  by  the  great  fire 
of  London,  1666,  and  that  tho  word  hufj  is  Celtic, 
and  signifies  a  ghost  or  goblin,  or  anything  thai 
occasions  *'  terror  by  night/*  This  was  the  trana- 
lation  of  tho  fifth  verse  of  Psalm  xcL,  in  Mathew'i 
Bible,  1537,  Much  further  information  connected 
with  the  etymology  of  the  word  was  given,  twenty- 
six  years  ago,  in  the  fifteenth  number  of  tms 
Joumal  ("N.  &  Q.,"  !•»  S.  i.  237).

Stratford  PFniaRER  :  Lord  Monhatjlt. — I 
posseas  a  cojjy  of  the  Hjirlcian  MSS.  pedigree, 
No.  1543,  of  the  Stratford  family,  county  of 
Gloucester,  copied  from  the  British  MuKetmu  The 
pedigree  commences  with  Jolm  Stmt  ford,  of  the 
Parliament  of  Edward  IL,  a.d.  1350,  and  does 
not  indicate  who  his  wife  was  ;  but  his  son  Ste- 
phen Stratford  isi  said  to  have  murried  Elizii bet h, 
diiughter  of  Lord  jSIonhanlt.  In  the  Motuhrum 
OtPjifudUim  I  find  the  following :  "E.cepit  homa- 
gium  Stepb  de  Stratford  fii  &  her  Elizabeth  de 
Mohant,"  &c.,  temp.  Edward  III.  This  relates  to 
a  water  corn-mill  and  some  land  at  Sulgrave,  in 
Northamptonshire.  Ono  of  the  questions  I  sub- 
mit for  solution  i%  was  ihia  Elizabeth  de  Mohant 
the  mother  or  the  wife  of  Stephen  Stnitford,  as 
stated  in  my  peditj^ree  ?  If  the  former,  of  course 
bbe  woidd  therefore  be  the  wife  of  his  father,  the 
John  Stratford  at  the  head  of  the  pediorce.  Bid 
he  marry  an  Elizabeth  de  Mohant,  and  his  son 
Stephen  marry  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Lord  Mon- 
haiut,  as  stated  in  the  pedigree  1 

In  works  relating  i,o  either  existinj?  peerages  or 
those  that  are  extinct  I  c^mnot  find  the  least 
notice  of  a  Lord  Monbault  ;  but  I  have  some 
faint  recollection  of  having  read  somewhere  of  a 
Robert  Lord  Monbault,  a  very  distin^isbed  ii;an 
in  State  affairs  or  jtt  Court,  in  the  reign  of  the 
second  or  third  Edward.  What  is  known  re- 
specting him  1  Who  were  his  family,  and  where 
were  tbey  seated'/  Also,  when  did  the  title  and 
fiimily  become  extinct  I  Waa  this  Eobert  Lord 
Monbault  the  same  person  as  the  Lord  Monbault 
who  ia  said  to  have  been  the  father,  as  stated  in 
the  Stmtford  pedigree?  if  not,  what  relation?  I 
might  add,  also,  was  the  Elizabeth  de  Mobant  in 
the  Hotulorum  Origiualium  the  same  person  as  the 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Lord  Monbault,  the  wife  of 
Stephen  Stratford  in  the  Stratford  pedigree  I  I 
send  this  because  I  have  no  means  of  obtaiaintr 
a  clue  that  would  lead  rac  to  obtain  even  the 
slightest  information  on  the  subject.

A  "champion,"'  in  tho  person  of  Dr,  Cuai^ce, 
has  entered  the  lists  to  set  me  right  as  to  the 
derivation  of  this  word.    Like  Brutus  in  his  dis- 
pute with  Cassiiis, 

"  For  mine  own  part, 
I  ahull  be  glad  to  learn  of  noble  men,*' 

though  the  correction  be  given  in  somewhat  of  the 
'*  de  haut  en  bas"  style.  I  am  "wrong"  ;  I  am 
"  agnin  quite  wrong."  **  Mr.  Picton  does  not  give 
one  iota  of  proof,  or  even  argument,"  &c.  This  is  as 
it  nmy  appear.  I  have  ag»in  looked  over  my  autho- 
rities, and,  so  far  from  being  convinced  of  my 
error,  I  am  prepared  to  go  further,  and  to  maintain 
that  **  champion  "  is  not  of  Romance  origin  at  all ; 
that  it  is  a  purely  Teutonic  word,  and  has  been 
indigenous  in  every  dialect  of  the  family  from  the 
earliest  recorded  period  ;  that  in  French  it  ia  an 
imported  word,  and  has  nothing  to  do  with 
mmpus. 

First,  however,  let  me  clear  the  way  by  & 
correction.  Dr.  OnANCE  aaya  I  **  have  given  ni» 
iota  of  proof  or  even  arguTOent  that  the  word 
champion  bos  anything  to  do  with  the  Old  Eng. 
hempe;  he  merely  asserts  it  is  so."  I  beg  to  say 
that  I  never  assorted  anything  of  the  kind,  I 
never  mentioned  the  word  kmipc.  Perhaps  Db. 
Cha2*ce  will  "  be  surprised  to  hear "  that  there 
never  was  any  such  word  in  our  mother-tongue 
before  the  Conquest.    The  letter  k  does  not  exist

has  endeavoured,  without  much  effect,  to  ]>rotect 
it  from  the  knives,  saws,  and  other  weapons  of 
those  who  were  anxious  to  obtain  a  portion  of  the 
tree  c-elebrated  in  aong  by  Cowper,  who,  it  will  be 
remembered,  lived  in  the  neighbourhood  during 
A  lengthened  period,  upend inj?  part  of  the  time  at 
Olney  (his  house  there  is  now  in  my  posaejwion)  and 
part  at  Weaton  Underwood.  Stringent  measures 
have  long  since  bee$  adopted  for  securing  this

Besides  the  two  Yardleys,  in  Worcestershire 
and  in  Herts,  two  more  phoufd  bo  mentioned  in 
Northamptonshire.  Cowper's  Yardley  oak,  com- 
monly called  **  Judith,"  after  the  lady  presumed 
to  have  planted  it,  st^inds  about  two  miles  from 
Olney,  in  the  county  of  Northampton,  and  not  far 
from  the  junction  of  the  three  counties,  Bucks, 
BedK,  and  Northampton  (see  "  N.  &  Q.,"  4*»'  S.  xit. 
481  ;  S***  S.  i.  38),  What  Cowper  says  of  it  may 
in  truth  be  said  of  many  fine  old  oaks  in  other 
parts  of  the  countiy.  Eoward  Sollt. 

There  can,  I  think,  he  little  dnubt  that  Cowper's 
celebrated  tree  was  neither  in  Worcestershire  nor 
Hertfordshire,  but  in  Yardley  Chase,  on  the  bor- 
ders of  Bucks  and  Northymptonahire,  and  within 
a  very  few  miles  of  the  jwel's  residence  at  Olney. 
The  fact  mu3t  be  on  record  somewhere,  but  I  have 
not  rtuy  authority  at  hand  to  which  I  can  refer, 
except  Miss  Pratt's  Ffowtring  Flavts  and  Ferns 
of  Gr€*it  Britain,  in  which  the  o;ik  in  question  is 
said  t-o  have  been  in  Yardley  Cha«e,  though  the 
county  is  not  mentioned.  Cl. 

The  oak  is  in  Ardeley  (or,  as  it  is  sometioie* 
called,  Yardley),  Hertfordshire,  and  the  traditioa 
which  assigns  its  birth  to  the  time  of  the  NorcoAtt 
Conquest  is  commonly  received  in  the  parish.

[fi^SLV.JTOiS.U 


the  exceeding  desirability  of  carefully  treasuring 
up  every  antiquity  in  the  kingdom.     A  study  of 
national  antiquities  ought  to  form  a  part  of  the 
educational  course  in  every  school  in  the  kingdom, 
and  the  local  objects  of  interest  in  every  town  and 
village  should  be  brought  to  the  notice  of  all  the 
children  of  such  localities  in  an  especial  manner. 
Every  child  in  Penzance,  for  instance,  should  be 
taught  to  venerate  the  name  of  Sir  Humphrey 
Davy,  the  house  he  was  born  in,  and  every  spot 
and  every  tradition  associated  with  his  name  in 
the  town.    This  cultivates  the  soul,  the  manners, 
the  mind,  all  in  one  act ;  it  in  every  way  out- values 
such  knowledge    geographical   as  the  power  to 
name  every  island  of  tne  Eiistem  Archipelago, 
even  could  that  be  attained  by  ordinary  English 
school  children,  or,  more  impossible  still,  retained 
when  once  learned.     What  good  is  it  to  the  bulk 
of  us  to  know  antimony  abounds  in  Borneo,  es- 
pecially in  Sarawak?    That  Labuan  has  coal,  or 
that  gold  occurs  in  the  sand  of  its  almost. nameless 
rivers  1    Perhaps  it  has  not  been  said  nor  written, 
but  it  is  a  fact  none  the  less,  that  the  detestable 
modem  spirit  of  change  for  change's  sake,  the 
growth  of  democratic  and  socialistic  opinion,  can 
best  be  combated  by  cultivating  a  love  in  young 
minds  for  everything  that  is  old,  and  especially  if 
it  be,  as  it  so  often  is,  both  old  and  beautiful.     If 
national  archaeology  were  judiciously  taught  in 
our  schools,  so  that  the  associations  and  treasures 
of  the  past  came  to  be  treated  in  a  spirit  of  love 
and  venenition,  the  disposition  of  mind  so  gene- 
rated would  very  soon   become  a  vast  political 
agent,  capable  of  effectually  counterpoising  all  the 
rabid  theories  of  the  continental   revolutionists, 
without   combating   them.    The  human  mind  is 
more  sensitively  biassed  towards  the  past,  in  the 
majority  of  men  and  women,  than  it  is  influenced 
by  speculative  philosophies,  which,  at  best,  must 
await  the  future   for   their   realization.     In  the 
stupid,  rudderless  England  of  to-day,  a  wise  man 
may  be  pardoned  for  taking  no  interest ;  but  he 
must  be  a  poor-witted  creature  who  can  look  upon 
old  London,  and,  well  read,  visit  its  histor}'-haunted 
8pot«.  and  not  feel  some  glow  of  glory  at  being 
privileged  to  call  them  his. 

Another  point  is  that  fine  objects  of  antiquity 
are  the  germ-centres  around  which  all  art  ten- 
dencies cluster  ;  you  will  not  breed  a  race  of  great 
artists  unless  you  thick  sow  your  cities,  street  by 
street,  with  pearl-seed  of  beauty.  A  beautiful 
facade,  an  appropriate  portico,  a  gate  by  Inigo, 
a  campanile  of  Wren,  a  doorway  by  Jansen,  a 
bust  by  EoubiUiac,  a  tablet  by  Le  Sueur,  an  alto- 
relief  by  Armstead,  these  are  the  incentives  of 
beauty  to  come ;  they  are  not  only  admirable  in  esscy 
but  divine  in  posse.  Cheaper  is  this  than  art  schools, 
but  it  is  better  than  chmp— it  is  effectual,  which 
the  schools  are  not.  Next  to  virtue,  art  is  the 
traest  pursuit  of  man's  life.  0.  A.  "W  kbi>. 


"Ness"  (5*  S.  iv.  265  ;  v.  56,  7a)-Near 
Eastbourne  tiiere  is  a  small  hamlet,  on  a  promon- 
tory, about  two  miles  from  the  sea,  called  Black- 
ness. Bailey  (seventh  ed.,  1735)  gives:  ^Nm 
[nese,  Sax.],  a  point  of  land  running  into  the  sea ; 
as  Sheemess,  &c."     Edmunds,  in  his  exoelkia 


little  work.  Traces  of  History  in  the  Nawut  of 
PUictSy  writes  : — "  Nate,  Naze,  Nee,  Ness,  S.

Also,  *^Na8kj  from  nasse,  a  promontory.  El:

EngliA  Surnames  (fourth  ed.,  1875),  writes: 
"  Ness,  a  headland  overhanging  the  sea,  or  » 
mounUiin  near  it  ** ;  but  he  odds  in  a  note,  **  not 
necessarily  a  headland  or  cliffl  Dungeneaa,  ii 
Kent,  is  a  mere  protrusion  of  sand  and  shin^ 
below  high-water  mark."  Again,  in  the  sam 
work,  Lower  says  :  '*  It  mast  not  be  imagined  ibafc 
I  have  overlooked  the  nose, — ^that  is  too  pramir 
nent  a  feature  to  be  forgotten.  I  am  not  amic, 
however,  of  any  persons  having  borne  this  naae 
since  the  days  of  Publius  Ovidius  Nato,  unka, 
indeed,  Ness,  a  modem  surname,  may  be  con- 
sidered equivalent  to  nesse  or  nese,  the  old  Englisb 
form  of  the  word.  It  sometimes  occurs  in  con- 
position  with  other  wonls,  as  Thicknesse, '  thidc- 
nose*;  Longness,  *  long-nose';  and  Filtnesse, 
which,  if  I  may  be  allowed  a  jocular  etymology,  s 
no  other  than  *  foedus  nasus,'  or,  in  plain  Eoglisli, 
*  foul-nose ' ! "  Bardsley,  in  his  English  Sumaina 
(second  ed.,  1875),  says:  "Another  term  in  me 
for  a  local  prominence  was  nese  or  nose.  Bogff 
atte  Ness  occurs  in  the  thirteenth  century,  aw 
Longness,  and  Thickness,  and  Redness,  are  bat

from  the  same  root  in  its  more  personal  relatioB* 
ship  to  the  human  face,  the  word  yiose.  bans 
familiarly  so  pronounced  at  this  time."  Webster 
says  :•"  Ness  [from  A.-S.  ndss,  ncisse ;  Dan.  »«»* 
cf.  nazel,  a  termination  of  names,  signifying  a  pio- 
montory."  As  to  nose,  he  writes  :  "  Nose  [A-&

Crtticibiw  ojr  the  Prater  Booe  (6*  S,  v.

question  started  by  G.  B.  B.  on  the  applicability 
of  the  words  "  cnift  and  subtUty  "  to  *'  man,"  at 
well  as  to  "  the  devil,"  I  would  beg  leave  to  anore 
him  that  he  need  fi^nd  no  diihculty  about  the 
grammar  of  the  sentence  ;  the  plural  or  compound 
noun  with  a  singular  verb,  and  vice  versd  the  sin- 
gular noun  with  a  plural  verb,  being  one  of  the 
commonest  constructions  with  Elizabethan  writers. 
A  similar  instance  to  the  one  in  question  occurs  in 
fililton's  Lycida$i  L  7  : — 

"  Bitter  constraint  and  lad  occasion  dear 
Cfympiii  mo  to  disturb  your  ge&aon  due." 
Here,  as  in  the  Litany,  the  oneness  of  ideji  amply 
justifies  the  construction  ;  and  in  a  note  on  the 
above  line,  in  my  recently  published  edition  of 
tho  LyGxdaSf  I  have  given  several  other  examples. 
Dr.  Abbott,  in  hia  Siiahptriafi  Orammar^  §§ 
333,  33C,  gives  many  more  from  Shakspenre,  $.g, 
**  Plenty  and  peace  hretdi  cowards "  ;  "  My  old 
bones  aches**  (Folio),  &c.  I  am  inclined  to  be- 
lieve, however,  that  "  man  "  is  in  the  nominative 
case,  and  not  governed  by  the  "  of"  preceding. 

In  the  Second  Commandment  I  think  the  words 
**  that  hate  me  "  certainly  refer  to  "  the  fathers," 
and  not  to  "the  children,"  though  it  is  difficult 
so  to  read  the  English  version  aa  to  convey  this 
moaning.  At  any  rate,  it  is  not  conveyed  by 
pausing  after  "fathers,"  and  ogain  after  **  genera- 
tion," as  G.  B.  B.  would  have  us  do  ;  since  we 
thus  get  **  the  fathers  of  them  that  hate  me,"  ond 
make  "  thejn  that  hate  me"  mean  "  the  children.'' 
But  dele  (r.  B.  B.'s  second  dnsh  or  pause,  and  the 
sentence,  though  somewhnt  long  and  involved,  gives 
the  required  sense  thus :  '*  Visit  the  sins  of  the 
fathers— upon  the  children  unto  the  third  or  fourth 
generntion  of  them  that  hate  me,"  i.e.  "  the  chil- 
dren of  them  that  h&te  me^  unto  the  third  or 
fourth  generation."  C.  S,  JEftKA^C

out  this  error  as  made  by  Sheridan  in  his  Lectures 
on  the  Art  of  Reading : — 

"  Which  mode  of  reftding  destroys  the  sense  by  making 
a  pause  at  '  children,'  and  none  at  '  generation ' ;  for 
this  implies  that  the  third  and  fourth  generations,  rrho 
suffer  these  judgments,  are  themselves  such  as  hate  the 
Lord,  instead  of  being  merely,  as  is  meant  to  be  ex- 
pressed, the  children,  of  such.  *  Of  them  that  hate  me,' 
IS  a  genitive  governed  not  by  '  generation,'  but  by  '  chil" 
dren.'"— P.  465,  Appendix  (N.). 

In  the  some  appendix  are  some  other  veiy  good 
remarks  on  errors  often  made  in  clerical  reading.

"  Crazy,"  a  Local  Name  for  the  Buttercup 
(5***  S.  V.  364.) — Perhaps  the  countrywoman  desired 
to  frighten  the  children,  and  to  make  them  throw 
away  "  the  nasty  flowers,"  for  fear  they  should  eat 
them.  In  Haunts  of  the  Wild  FtowerSy  by  Anne 
Pratt  (Routledge,  1863),  it  is  said  of  the  butter- 
cups, crowfoots,  or  kingcups,  "Three  kinds  are 
common  in  the  meadow,  all  acrid,  and  somewhat 
poisonous,  so  that  cattle  refuse  them,  because  they 
blister  their  mouths,  and  illness  has  been  brought 
to  little  children  by  eating  the  flowers,  or  leaves, 
or  the  bulbous  root "  (p.  90).  She  also  says  that 
mendicants  apply  the  buttercups  to  the  skin,  to 
irritate  it,  and  thereby  provoke  compassion ;  and 
she  quotes,  to  that  efiect,  from  Holinshed's  Dis- 
eipline  of  England.  In  Mr.  J.  T.  Burgess's 
hnglish  Wild  FloicerSy  he  speaks  of  the  children, 
who  "hold  the  bright  and  *  gold-eyed  kingcups 
fine  *  beneath  their  chins,  to  know  if  they  *  like 
butter.'"  CuTHBERT  Bede. 

Mr.  Lees's  derivation  of  this  name  for  the 
buttercup  is  extremely  interesting  on  account  of 
the  bit  of  folk-lore  from  which  he  draws  his  con- 
clusion. But  another  derivation  is  equally  pro- 
bable ;  for  though  "  crazy,"  or  "  crazies,"  is  the 
name  given  to  the  three  commonest  buttercups 
{BanunculiLs  acris,  bulbosuSf  and  r€2)e7i8)  in  the 
south  and  west  of  England,  and  also  in  the  Mid- 
land Counties,  it  is  not  quite  universal,  for  in 
Buckinghamshire  it  becomes  "  butter-creeses  "  and 
"  yellow  cress."  "  Cress  "  is  a  sort  of  generic  name 
given  to  a  great  number  of  plants,  most  of  which, 
though  not  all,  are  of  the  natural  order  Crucifene ; 
and  it  is  most  probable,  I  think,  that  "  crazies  "  is 
simply  a  local  pronunciation  of  "cresses."  The 
acrid,  tongue-biting  property  of  the  plant,  re- 
sembling that  of  true  cress,  would  also  favour  this 
derivation.  Robert  Holland. 

Geometrical  Proportion  in  Architecture 
(5*»»  S.  y.  365.)— The  question  raised  by  Mr.  Ran- 
dolph is  an  interesting  one,  and  I  should  like  to 
fiee  it  worked  out,  and  the  result  given  in  the 
pages  of  *'  N.  &  Q."  I  have  myself  from  scale 
dnwings,  measnred  the  towers  and  B\^\ie&  ol  Vno 


well-known  examples,  both  of  which,  I  submit,  are 
pleasing  to  the  eye.  These  are  the  charches  of 
Ewerby  and  Sleaford.  The  height  of  the  spire  oC 
the  former  is,  according  to  the  theory  propounded 
by  Mr.  Randolph's  noble  infommnt,  exactly 
three  times  the  diagonal  of  the  tower  at  its  ha.«e. 
But  the  spire  of  the  second  one  is  only  twice  the 
diagonal  of  the  tower.  Will  some  aFchitectnnl 
readers  of  "  N.  &  Q.^  give  the  results  of  tbet 
observations  and  measorements  7       J.  L.  C.  S. 

Mr.  Randolph  will  find  much  valuable  in- 
formation on  this  subject  in  The  PrineipUf  (j 
Beauty,  by  J.  A.  Symonds,  M.D.  (Bell  &  Daldr, 
1857) ;  The  Philosophy  of  the  Beautiful,  by  J.  G. 
Macvicar,  D.D.  (Edmonston  &  Douglas,  lSo5}; 
and  First  Principles  of  Symnutrieal  Beauty,  \sj 
D.  R.  Hay  (Wm.  Blackwood  &  Sons,  18461 
Ignorance  of  the  fundamental  principles  of  tbeir 
art  is  very  common,  and  architects  avow  it^  and

First  Cannon  cast  in  England  (5**»  S.  v.  aS7.) 
-—In  Murray's  Handhook  to  Sussex,  p.  278, 
Mr.  Axon  will  find  the  following  :  "  NearBaxted 
Church  is  an  ancient  building  called  the  Hot; 
House,  from  a  hog  carved  over  the  door,  with  '.he 
date  1581.  This  was  the  residence  of  the  Hojtb 
family,  one  of  whom,  Ralf  Hogge,  in  1543  cast  tie 
first  iron  cannon  ever  made  in  England,  supersed- 
ing the  earlier  hooped  or  banded  guns.  The  mme 
Hogge  seems  to  have  become  confounded  with  the 
of  Huggett,  and  Huggett's  Furnace,  between  Bai- 
ted and  Mayfield,  is  still  pointed  out  as  the  place 
where  the  first  iron  ordnance  was  cast. 

'  Master  Hnggett  and  his  man  John, 
They  did  cast  the  first  cannon,' 

— runs  the  local  rhyme.  Ralf  Hogge  was  at  first 
assisted  by  French  and  Flemish  gunsmiths,  bat 
afterwards  *  made  by  himself  ordnance  of  cast 
iron  of  divers  sorts.*  The  name  of  Huggett  is 
still  common  among  the  blacksmiths  of  £.  Susses.' 
The  writer  quotes  Mark  A.  Lower  as  the  authority 
for  the  remark  about  the  surname  ;  but  he  refen 
to  no  other  work  for  the  facts  and  dates.  If  avt- 
non  were  used  at  Cressy,  who  made  them  T  If  the 
English,  it  is  strange  that  before  1543  they  nerer 
cast  ordnance.  C  A.  Ward.

ful derivation  bein^  traced,  I  believe,  however, 
that  the  phrase  anses  from  the  really  one-sided 
nature  of  an  electioneering  contest  at  Bridgenorth. 
Influence  in  the  borough  was  supposed  to  be  a 
possession  of  the  owner  of  the  neighbonring  Apley 
estate,  which  includes  nearly  all  the  town.  The

HAMNET  SHAKSPEABK 

twelve  months  ngo  I  uked  permifision  to 

history,  not  of  Shakspeare's  sao,  but  of 

I  same.     Muny  have  lUoughl  that  Hiimnet 

le  turned  into  &  baptisiniil  name,  but 

csase,    I  have  over  seventy  Haiimeta, 

extracted  from   different   mediieval 

»fore  me  as  I  write.     At  one   tioie 

jwirs  ago)  the  two  forms  bade  fair  to 

for  popularity  with  Robin,  Dick,  Hodge, 

Kt  of  theou     They  have  been  obBolete 

welinigh,  their  history  forgotten,  and 

tfxititeoce  unknown,   Miss  Yonge,  in  her 

roi'k  on  VhrlAian  Names,  innkes  no 

sni,and  in  her  Glosaary  both  Humnet 

r«re  oonspicuDUB  by  their  absence.     It 

io  add  that  die  gives  both  Pluinl}^  and 

la  reviewing  the  bistorj'  of  Hunio  und 

naaoee  and  surnames  tlmt  have 

from  it,  I  am  happy  to  say  that  I  have 

complete,     Tiiere  will  not  be  a  single 

rery  statement  will  have  the  register  at 

The  importance  of  this  fact  nmst  be  my 

a  seeming'  parade  of  authorities. 

le  in  with  the  Conqueror.     The  j^er- 

enrolled  are   found  to  be  Uamon, 

ijmoHf  and  Aymon,  the  Kurnominal 

'  Hamond-son.    Variations  of  the 


personal  forms  are  quickly  discovered,  all  dressed 
out  after  the  prevailing  fashion. 

1.  Termination.^  in  iin  and  line.  The  EoUi  of 
Parliament  furniah  us  with  Hamelyn  de  Trap ; 
the  Cat  Eot.  Fat.  in  Turri  Lomtiiumi  with 
Hamnlin  Prepositus.  Walt<»r  Soott,  in  QuetUin 
IhiTimrd^  gives  us  the  feminine  in  HameUne  de 
Cmye.  A  Burname  was  quickly  formed  from  this ; 
hence  Osbert  Hamelyn,  in  the  Wriis  of  ParUa- 
nunt.  The  present  dress  in  our  directories  is 
Hamlyn.  Henry  Kingsley  wrote  a  novel  entitled 
OtoffTy  namlyn, 

t.  Termi nations  in  tUi  and  eZot.  These  were 
not  80  common,  of  course,  as  oi  and  ti  ;  still,  a  large 
list  might  be  furnished.  We  find  such  entries  as 
Robert  Riche^^f  (Richard),  CrestoZof  de  Pratis 
(Cbristian),  Walter  Hiighe/o(  (Hugh),  or  Constance 
HobeZot  (Hohbe).  The  last  two  may  be  seen  in 
the  Hundred  liolli.  Perluips  the  two  commonest 
instances,  however,  were  Hameiet  and  Hame^of, 
from  Hanion.  *'  Richard  son  of  Hamelot"  may  bo 
seen  in  Tkrte  Lancashire^  DocumtrUs  (Chetham 
Soc.  Pub,),  and  liamelot  de  la  Burste  in  Cal.  and 
Inv.  of  Ttcajtury,  From  Hamelot  or  Hamelet  to 
Hamlet  was  nn  easy  descent.  If  the  reader  will 
look  in  the  Index  to  Bromcfield's  Hi^t.  of  Norfolk, 
he  will  find  from  twenty  to  thirty  Hamlets* 
Hamlet  Ashkon  may  be  eeen  in  Lancnskirs  Wills 
and  Inventories  (Chetham  ^c.  Pub.). 

3.  Terminntions  in  ot  and  tt  Hundreds  of 
Enf^lish  names  were  formed  thus :  Hew  became 
Hewet ;  Milt}\  Mariot ;  Philiji,  Philipot  or 
Philpot ;  and  Harrj',  Harriet.  Thus  Hanion  be- 
came Hftmonet,  speedily  corrupted  to  Hamnet. 
Hence  Hamnet  Stookley  {L<mmiihirc  Willi  and 
Inventories,  Ch.  Soc.  Pub,)  or  Hamnet  de  Dokin- 
field,  who  is  found  livinfj  at  Manchester  in  1270 
{Didtlmry  Church,  Ch.  Soc.  Pub.).  Hamnette 
Hardman  was  n  **  woolen-webster "  in  the  samo 
town  in  1588  (A.ston'8  Mancfuxter  Guide^  p.  23). 
Thus  the  two  common  forms  in  use  were  Hamlet 
and  Hamnet.  In  the  North,  Hamnet  prevailed ; 
in  the  South,  Hamlet.  There  is  not  a  single 
Humnet  in  Bromeftcld'H  Norfolk,  while  I  have 
counted  over  twenty  Hamlets.  Out  of  fifteen  in-

name  to  his  son,  styled  also  Hamlet  {vide  Dyce'a 
Shik€B})iarc,  vol  I  p.  31,  note).  It  would  be  a

christeniog  imd  that  of  the  appearance  of  the  play 
agree  1  An  English  BlWe,  and  further  on  a 
Puritan  Bpirit,  have  left  their  influence  on  no 
name  more  markedly  than  Hamoo.  As  one  after 
another  new  Bible  character  was  comiuemorated 
at  the  font,  Hamnet  and  Hamlet  got  crushed  out. 
Its  lost  refuge  was  the  directory.  There,  in  it» 
many  surname  formations,  it  cannot  die.  One  of  the 
lateiit  instances  of  the  baptismal  use  I  can  discover 
u  that  of  Hambleth  Ashton  (cf,  Hambleth  above), 
who,  in  1663,  was  hanged  at  Chester  for  murder,  and 
buried  at  Warrington  (vide  Mancfuster  CourieTf 
April  28,  1876,  ''Local  Gleanings ").  Hamlet  Hey 
was  also  interred  at  Warrin{>ton  in  1643  (vide 
MajichcsUr  Counier^  May  26,  1676,  "  Local  Glean- 
ings ").  I  have  an  instance  of  Hamnet  in  a  Man- 
chefller  register  somewhere  about  16£K),  but  I 
cannot  luy  my  hand  upon  it  Can  any  reader  give 
me  a  later  date  ? 

A  word  in  concluatou  about  the  inmamcs  formed 
from  Horn  on. 

(a.)  Bunion  became  Hamond,  as  Simon  became 
Simond.  Thua  Hammonds  and  Sinmionds  are 
found  among  our  surnames.  The  Hundred  Rolls 
give  Haiimnd  le  Mestre,  and  the  EolU  of  Far- 
liaviad  Hiimond  Cobeler. 

(b.)  Alice  Hamundaon  {Tuiammia  Ehor.^ 
Surtees  Soc.  Pub.),  or  John  Hawniundaon  {Corpus 
Chruti  Guildy  Surteea  Soc.  PuK),  or  Wilham 
Hamnesoa  {VaL  Fleadings,  EIiz«beth),  shows  the 
lineuge  of  our  Hamondsons  and  Hampsons,     The 

5  in  Hampton  is  found  in  Thompson,  Simpson,  or 
impson. 

(c)  Hnmlet  and  Hamnet,  pure  and  simple,  may 
be  i&een  in  all  our  large  directories.  Hamnyl  or 
Hanmett  or  Hiimmett  is  very  common  in  the  neigli- 
bourhood  of  Manchester  (vide  directory),  where  the 
name  had  flourished  for  centuries  bfiptismally.  It  is 
euriouH  to  observe  that  Hamblet  has  been  smr- 
nominally  preserved  there  also.  The  name  in  this 
form  muy  be  seen  over  a  door  by  St.  John's 
Church,  Deansgate,  in  that  city.  Dr.  Chancb, 
in  your  issue,  May  27,  of  tlie  current  ^ear, 
speaks  of  b  folluwing  m  by  a  kw  of  dissimilation. 
As  an  iilustmtiun  oif  his  theory,  we  may  note  that 
Hamlet  became  Hamblet,  just  as  Timuia  becsmie 
Timbs,  a  name  familiar  to  all  antiquaries.  V 
does  not  this  last  instance  militate  against  1 ' 
Chance's  law  1    I  fancy  this  is  not  diissimilatu 

I  will  not  apolo;/i2e  for  using  so  much  of

OLIVER  CROMWELL :  WHALLEY  FAMILY. 

Some  notes  on  the  pedigree  of  the  Whalley 
family  appeared  in  your  valuable  paper  on  Jane  26, 
1809  (4'**  S.  iii.  78),  and  I  was  subseriuently  re- 
ferred by  Mk.  Franklin  B.  Dexter,  the  Secretary 
of  Yale  College,  to  some  letters  preserved  among 
the  Lansdowne  MSS.  I  have  only  recently  been 
able  to  have  these  letters  tmnscribcd,  and  I  now 
enclose  two  of  them  — the  first,  dated  April  14, 
1657*  of  much  interest,  as  showing  the  wilUogniess 
of  Cromwell  to  accept  of  the  kingship ;  the  other 
of  June  7^  1658,  which  shows  that  the  person 
named  in  the  letter  of  Cromwell  (printed  by  you 
with  my  former  notes)  waa  Henry,  and  not 
Richard  Whalley,  and  contains  a  very  curious  ac- 
count of  a  duel  with  Lord  Chesterfield.  If  you 
think  these  letters  worthy  of  insertion  I  shall 
send  you  transcripts  of  the  other  three,  which  also 
COD  tain  much  to  interest  an  antiquarian. —

coDsideratioQ  is  overlooked ;  and,  in  fact, 
kind  of  raUwalion  could  never  be  carried  out 
le  that  system  obtains.  Again,  piecemeal 
Btomtion  "  br  no  means  conduces  to  rators  tbe 
inal  order  of  the  figures.  Take,  for  example, 
series  of  Prophets  and  Apostles.  There  is  no 
bt  that  the  proper  order  of  the  whole  of  the 
^e  figure*  was  designed  to  commence  on  either 
I  fi!DDi  the  east ;  and,  as  a.  matter  of  fact,  it  has 
ft  pointed  out  bj  the  Rev.  Mr.  Joyce  that  the 
iSi  of  the  Pmtphets  answer  to  those  of  the 
Miles  on  the  opposite  side.  Under  the  present 
lem  all  this  beautiful  symmetry  is  entirely 
Md  over.  I  have  said  thus  much  to  show 
^  inadequate  and  inefficient  that  system  is.  But 
isore  remaina,  and  that  of  graver  import  stilL 
»p«ak  only  of  the  two  windows  kfit  "  restoredi" 
tainin^  the  four  Evan j^elists  and  four  Prophets: 
lijpanng  the^se  with  others  close  at  hand,  no  one 
i  donU  that  the  tone  of  colour  has  been 
l&foed.  The  figures  of  the  Evangelists  have 
feH  t!(0!?t  in  the  process  ;  and  the  absence  of 
\ce  painting  has  deprived  the  faces 
>  and  intelligible  expression.  The 
I  i-ii.js  <*f  the  drapery  are  less  effective  than 
for  want  of  the  requisite  amount  of 
Hgure  of  St.  Luke  has  an  awkward 
half  looking  towards  the  west  and 
er  towiirds  the  east.  Moreover,  the 
re  is  anomalous  ;  the  armngement  of  the 
eeves,  and  the  drapery  generally  being^ 
confused.  The  figure  of  St.  ^iatthew 
least  of  the  foar,  simply  because  more 
has  been  preserved.  The  figarea  of 
have  lost  some  of  their  powerful 
Olid  force  of  expression.  The  weak- 
perceptible  in  the  bmds  and  faces ; 
are  wanting  to  the  drapery  of  Amos, 
absence  is  especially  marked  in  the 
Zephaniah  (Sophonias).  In  both  windows 
tural  ornamentation  baa  suffered,  es- 
richly  adorned  pillars  supporting  the 
over  the  figures ;  and  in  some  instances 
ttico  protecting  the  windows  can  be 
the  poverty-stricken  colours^  In  fine, 
restoration  "  is  unsatisfjictory. 
seems  to  me  that  the  question  of  the 
Eoa  and  adequate  restoration  of  these 
works  of  art  must  be  a  matter  of  interest 
to  tho  archaeologist  and  to  the  man  of 
tiute,  but  even  to  the  whole  nation. 
at  alt  that  has  been  said  and  written  in 
these  windows,  it  would  be  himentahle 
if  such  valuable  remains  of  the  art  of  tbe 
should  be  still  further  injured,  and 
useleas  for  purposes  of  study*  So 
nn  undertaking  an  their  restoration, 
being  left,  as  at  present,  to  individual 
tftste,  ought  rather  to  be  a  nationnl 
The  thought  m&j  be  disffflntajitlf  hi* 


it  is  nevertheless  true,  that  were  these  memorials  of 
a  bygone  age  to  suffer  further  neglect,  injury,  and 
debasement,  it  would  be  a  Ijpstinc;  disgrace  to  the 
nation  possessing  such  artistic  Ire^tsures.  Will 
neither  of  our  arcbteological  societies  take  up  the 
question  1  Whatever  course  may  be  deemed  best 
under  the  circumstances  of  the  mse,  something 
should  be  done  at  once,  now  that  two  of  the  finest 
lights  of  tho  window  of  the  "  Last  Judgment " 
have  been  removed — a  subject  as  grand  and 
original  in  conception  lui  admirable  in  execution.

Origin  of  the  Word  "  Kidderminster." — This 
word  has  been  spelt,  in  various  documents  since 
the  Conquest,  in  ten  different  ways  ;  and  much 
conjectural  etymology  has  been  devoted  to  the 
word  in  Nash  and  other  histories  of  the  county. 
It  will  interest  many  to  know  that  the  Rev.  Dr. 
M'Cave  is  now  writing  in  the  Kidderminster  news- 
paper, the  SuTif  a  "  History  of  Kidderminster,"  on 
which  he  has  bestowed  much  painstaking  research, 
and  adduced  some  novel  propositions,  based  upon 
original  discoveries  in  documents  to  which  he  nas 
had  access.  His  remarks  on  tiie  etymology  of  the 
word  Kidderminster  appeared  in  the  Sun  (price 
Id.  ;  office.  Bull  Ring,  Kidderminster)  on  April  29 
and  May  6.  Rejecting  the  derivations  Cador- 
minsteTy  Cyniberht-minstery  &c..  Dr.  M*Cave  is  of 
opinion  that  Kede-mimter — the  earliest  ortho- 
graphy of  the  word— was  the  vernacular  for 
Ceddeminster,  from  St.  Cedd  {Cedda  or  Ctadda\ 
"  the  apostle  of  the  midland  English,"  and  brother 
of  St.  Chad,  whose  name  was  given  to  Chaddesley 
{Ceadde-lMgh)f  near  to  Kidderminster.

in  his  interestiog  Travel*  in  the  Fhilippines,  p.  117, 
1875,  writes  :— 

"  If  a  traveller  gets  on  good  terms  with  the  priests,  he 
seldom  meets  with  any  annoyances.  Upon  one  occasion 
I  wished  to  make  a  little  excursion  directly  after  lunch, 
and  at  a  quarter  past  eleven  everything  was  ready  for  a 
start ;  when  I  happened  to  sny  that  it  was  a  pity  to  have 
to  wait  three-quarters  of  an  hour  for  the  mwu.     In  a 


minute  or  two  twelve  o*e1oe1t  etraek :  all  woik  in  tk

Bloomabury  Street  (1850),  and  that  Theodore 
Rook  was  bora  at  No.  3  :  under  the  head  of 
Bloomsbury  Street,  he  aays  it  was  bo  named  in

THE  IBISH  PEERAGE:  TOE  IBISH  UNION 

PEERS. 

(6*  S.  T.  369,  391.) 

Broohrda  has  raised  a  very  important  truest  ion 
in  asking  **  for  a  list  of  Irish  gentlemen  who  were 
made  peera  for  voting  for  the  Union  in  the  Irish 
Parliament,  or  otherwise  furthering  the  success  of 
that  project."  I  think  the  creation  and  elevation 
of  Irish  peers  antecedent  to  the  proposition  for  a 
union  between  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  has  not 
been  noticed  by  writers  upon  that  event,  and  it

voiild  wammt  the  asramptioii  that  WiUmm  Pitt 
had  long  coDtempUted  the  event,  and  had  pre- 
pared for  it«  The  Irish  peerage  now  consiste  of 
tvo  dakea,  twelve  nurqaiBet,  sixty-four  earls, 
thirty-e^ht  Tuoonnta,  and  seTentj-one  baron% 
molong  a  total  of  1S7.  The  creations  were  in  the 
following  order  aa  to  time :  Planta^renet  and  Tador 
reigns^  nineteen ;  Stuarts,  thirty ;  HonoTcr  to  176i», 
twenty-eight ;  from  176<)  to  18<»0,  ninety^tliree  ; 
since  the  Union,  seventeen  :  total,  187.  Thirty- 
seren  peerages  created  between  1782  and  1800  have 
become  extinct.  A  writer  in  a  Dublin  news- 
paper, who  has  evidently  examined  the  subject 
closely,  describes  the  descent  of  a  ]i\Tge  por- 
tion of  the  Irish  peerage,  and  T  believe  his 
analysis  is  pretty  accurate.  He  claasi£es  them  as 
follows  :  peers  descended  from  the  ancient  Irish 
were  six  ;  peers  descended  from  settlers  who  came 
to  Ireland  between  1172  and  1530,  thirty-eipht  ; 
peers  dooended  from  settlers  in  the  Tudor  reigns, 
thirty- four  ;  peers  d^cended  from  Cromwellian 
settlers,  twenty-three ;  peers  descended  from 
settlers  under  the  ^^tuarts  and  William  III., 
twenty-five  ;  peers  descended  from  settlers  since 
iG8(t,  eight  :  making  a  total  of  134. 

The  declaration  of  the  Independence  of  the 
Irish  Parliament  took  pluce  in  1782,  and  I  think 
it  is  not  too  wide  an  answer  to  the  question 
to  consider  that  ail  the  peers  credited  after  that 
date  furthered  the  projected  Union.  The  crea- 
tions were  Baron  Loftm,  1786 ;  Baron  London- 
derry, 1789  ;  Earl  of  Antrim,  1785 ;  Baron 
Longford,  1786  ;  Baron  Enrlsfort,  1784  ;  Baron

1790 ;  Baron  Kilconel,  1797  ;  Baron  Goaford,

Buron  L  ism  ore,  1785  ;  Baron  Frankfort,  ISOO  : 
totxil,  twenty-seven.  All  these  peers,  except  the 
Earl  of  Antrim,  were  subsequently  promoted. 
Those  who  were  not  promoted  comprise  the  fol-

*!hall  be  greatly  obliged,  having  sought  it  in  vain 
for  many  years.  The  coffin  of  BiLskerville  was 
exhumed  in  1821,  and  I  bare  a  sketch,  taken  at 
the  time,  of  the  old  printer  as  he  looked  nearly 
half  a  century  after  his  death.  What  ultimately 
became  of  the  coffin  and  the  body  is  unknown. 
One  rumour  is  that  the  coffin  was  pliiced  privately 
in  one  of  the  catacombs  of  Christ  Church  in  thia 
town,  and  the  other  that  it  was  removed  to  a  bury- 
ing-ground  at  Crmiley.  Mrs,  Baskerville  died  in 
1780,  and  was  buried  near  the  east  end  of  St, 
Philip'i^  Church  here»  where  her  grjii^eatone  has 
recently  been  repainted,  and  the  words,  ''Widow 
of  John  BuskerviUe,  Printer,"  added. 

The  original  letter  to  Horace  Walpole  (enclos- 
ing a  "  Bpeciracn  of  Types  *')»  entirely  in  the  hand- 
writing of  Baskerville,  is  now  in  my  possession, 
and  it  helps  to  correct  an  error  as  to  the  place 
where  the  folio  Bible  waa  printed.  The  original 
edition  of  thia  noble  specimen  of  the  printer's  art 
bears  the  imprint  "  Csimbridge,"  I  have  a  splendid 
copy,  apparently  a  large-paper  cony,  wholly  uncut, 
quaintly  rubricated  with  hand-ruled  red  lines,  and 
containing  the  original  prospectus.  The  copy  re- 
ferred to  by  Mr.  Taylor  is  of  later  date,  and  was 
brought  out  in  competition  with  a  Bible  issued  by 
Boden  k  Adams  here,  and  the  rival  editions  led  to 
a  long  and  fierce  pa^Ker  war.  The  original  edition 
is  worth  from  three  to  twenty  guinejiis — my  own 
copy  being  very  rare  and  probably  unique — 
according  to  condition  and  binding,  and  that  first 
edition  had  no  plates.  The  "  Birmingham  '*  edi- 
tion is  common  enough  at  about  a  guinea  each. 

During  Bju^kervilie's  life  he  sold  some  of  his 
typcja  to  his  former  assistant^  Hobert  Martin,  and 
after  bis  death  his  widow  issued  some  books  with 
"  Sarah  Baskerville  "  thereon.  I  have  been  for- 
tunate enough  to  uecure  all  the  known  letters  of 
Biiskervillo  (with  one  exception),  and  have  not  only 
all  the  editions  of  all  the  books  he  printed,  but  also 
of  two  of  which  no  other  copies  are  known.  1  have 
also  the  plate  of  an  unpublislied  portrait,  appiirently 
engmved  from  the  picture  belonging  to  Messrs. 
Longman,  and  a  duplicat-e  of  which  was  formerly 
in  the  possession  of  a  gentleman  here.  A  woodcut 
of  a  similar  portrait  was  given  in  Hansard's  T^fpo- 
graphiay  and  waa  reproduced  in  the  Priniert? 
Rfgisler  to  which  Mr,  Thorne  refers. 

Although  I  have  collected,  I  fear,  everything 
known  about  Baskerville,  I  shall  be  very  glad  to 
receive  "  notes  "  of  any  casual  references  to  him  or 
hia  productions,  and  may  probably  trouble  yon

that  he  could  not  be  the  Capt.  William  Hamilton

little  cut  inscribed  ''  Stucley,  encouraged  by  Pope

from  a  work  entitled  A  Thankfull  lUm^mbranc^:  cf 
Ood'i  Mf-rcic,  &c.,  by  G.  C.  My  copy  of  the  book 
contains  that  cut  and  twenty  others,  also  an 
engraved  title  by  G.  Pass.  The  F.  H.  means 
"  Fridericua  Hulsius,"  that  name  appearing  upon 
some  of  the  cuts  as  inventor  and  sculptor.  The 
author  of  the  book  was  George  Curleton,  suc- 
cessively Bishop  of  Llandaff  and  Chichester,  whose 
portrait  is  mentioned  in  Bryan's  Dictionary  as 
having  been  engraved  by  Frederic  Hulsius,  an 
artist  about  whom  little  appears  to  be  known 
except  that  he  resided  some  lime  in  London,  and 
worked  for  the  IxiokseLIers  in  1627-31, 

Thumas  Stucley  La  said  to  have  been  an  "  En^' 
lifih  man  borne,"  who,  "  when  he  had  spent  hia 
estate  in  ryot,  prodigality,  and  base  means,**  went 
into  Ireland  in  1570.  **  Andgaping  for  the  Steward- 
ship  of  Wexford,  and  missing  the  same,"  became 
hostile  to  the  **  best  deserving  Prince,"  but  was 
**  contemned  as  one  that  could  doe  no  hurt/'  From 
Ireland  he  went  to  It^ly,  got  into  favour  with 
Pope  Pins  V.,  "  that  breathed  nothing  but  the 
destruction  of  t^.  Eliaabeth."  Stucley,  with  mag- 
nificent ostentation  (as  he  was  a  man  ainguiar  in 
ostentation),  made  the  Pope  believe  that  with 
3,tKH)  Italians  he  would  drive  the  English  out  of 
Ireland  ''  and  burne  the  Queen's  Navie/'  "  Pius 
v.,  having  procured  all  the  tronblea  that  possibly 
he  could  j^inst  Queene  Elizabeth,  seemed  to  die

with  the  King  of  Spain  for  the  invading  of  Ireland 
and  England  both  together,  "  meaning  under  the 
maake  of  Religion  to  serve  their  tiwn  ambitious 
ends."  The  Pope's  end  was  "  to  make  bis  sonne^

The  cut  inquired  about  by  J.  0.  evidently  repre- 
sents one  of  the  consultations  of  the  Pope  with  the 
King  of  Spain,  to  which  Stucley  was  admitted. 
Stucleyproniisedftreat  things  to  himself  as  well  as  to 
these  enemies  of  Elizabeth  if  he  were  supplied  with 
Italian  soldiers.  This  *^  English  fugitive  '^  is  called 
a  "  barewome  deceiver,"  who  "  did  no  lesse  cousen 
this  next  succeeding  Pope  (Gregory)  then  he  had 
done  his  predecessor  (Pius)  with  admirable  bragges.'' 
*'  He  promised  the  kingdom  of  Irekind  to  the 
Pope's  bastard  sonne,  and  got  such  favour  with 
tlie  old  ambitious  Pope  that  he  honoured  him  with 
the  titles  of  Marquis  of  Lagen,  Earle  of  Wexforde 
and  Caterloghe,  Vicount  of  Morough  and  Baron 
of  Rosse  (these  be  famous  places  in  Ireland),  and 
made  him  generall  of  dccc.  Italian  souldiers,  the 
King  of  Spaine  paying  their  stipends,  and  so  sent 
him  to  the  Irish  warres."  He  never  reached  Ire- 
land, however,  but  coming  to  "  Portingale  to  the 
mouth  of  the  Tagus,"  Sebastian,  King  of  Portugal, 
to  whom  the  invasion  of  Ireland  was  entrusted, 
selected  to  make  war  against  the  "Mahumetans"  in 
Africa.  Stucley,  finding  the  Spanish  king  "  not 
against  the  project  (for  the  Spanyard  disdained 
that  the  Pope's  bastard  should  be  King  of  Ireland), 
went  with  Sebastian  into  Mauritania,  and  was 
killed  in  that  memorable  battell  wherein  three 
kings— Sebastian,  Mahomet,  and  Abdal  Melech — 
were  all  slaine,  and  so  Stucley  had  too  honourable 
an  ende  of  a  dishonourable  life."

The  propounder  of  a  query  will  sometimes  acci- 
dentally fall  upon  its  solution,  and  this  is  my  case 
with  reference  to  the  above.  The  title  of  a  book 
met  my  eye  lately  and  suggested  its  examination, 
when  I  discovered  it  to  be  a  copy  of  the  work 
from  which  my  little  engraving  had  been  cut. 
It  is  :—

of  Queene  Elizabeth's  Raigne.  Collected  by  Geo  Carle- 
ton,  D.D.,  late  Bisliop  of  Chichester.    Sm.  4to.,  1630.'* 

This  interesting  book  records  all  the  plottings, 
both  foreign  and  domestic,  against  Elizabeth  and 
James,  with  small  quaint  cuts,  by  F.  Holstius,  on 
the  page  to  illustrate  them,  and  is,  I  doubt  not, 
the  source  from  which  Stuckley's  story  has  been 
derived.  The  book  must  once  have  been  very 
popukr,  as  that  before  me  is  the  fourth  edition.

in  England  appear  to  be  more  common  than  might 
be  supposed.    That  at  Blackmote,  in  lEaaex^^aa

attention  to  Jericho  at  Oxford.  As  the  wbjea 
has  again  been  mooted  by  Dr.  Ghakck,  I  mn 
mention  that  in  Toxteth  Park,  near  Liverpogi 
a  farm  of  about  sixty-aix  acres  has  been  ciUri 
Jericho  from  time  immemorial,  and  is  watered  W 
a  rivulet  styled  the  river  Jordan,  which  is  the 
boundary  of  two  townships.  The  local  tnuiitie 
ascribes  the  origin  of  these  names  to  the  Paziiui 
of  the  sixteenth  and  serenteenth  centanei,«k 
were  strong  in  this  neighboarhood,  and  whenpe- 
secuted  were  wont  to  meet  for  worship  in  tk 
green  dells  of  the  locality. 

Heywood's  reference  to  Jericho,  in  the  Bi» 
arehUt  to  "Bid  such  young  boyes  to  tUxj'n 
Jericho,"  is  taken  from  2  Samuel  x.  5,  and  1  Chn 
xix.  5,  "Tany  at  Jericho  until  your  beaidsk 
grown,"  and  it  would  be  natural  advice  to  m 
young  upstart,  who  might  need  a  rebuke,  to  » 
him  to  "go  to  Jericho."  Halliwell  gives "JcDcb' 
as  the  cant  phrase  for  **  a  prison.  Hence  di 
phrase,  to  wish  a  person  in  Jencho."  It  seems  6m.

tains,  in  its  "Literary  Grossip,"  a  paragraph «x 
this  subject,  which  it  may  be  well  to  quote  :— 

''The  following  mrly  use  of  the  exprestion  'Ooi» 
Jericho '  bu,  we  believe,  never  been  hitherto  noticei:- 
'  If  the  Upper  Hoose,  and  the  Lower  House 

Were  in  a  ship  together. 

And  all  the  base  OommittSee,  they  were  in  aoothff; 

And  both  the  abipi  were  botomlecae. 

And  sayling:  on  the  Mayne ; 

Let  thni  all  got  to  Jericko, 

And  n'ere  be  seen  againe.'

pern  at  the  top,  and  at  the  ends  are  two

four  inches  in  diameter,  having  a  slit  half

iue^Lsures  five  inches  in  diameter,  having  a 

clear  sonorous  t^sne,  which  would  be  heard  at

iWr  remark  that  on  their  journeys  the  horses  were

....      .s   BooKcoVKRS  {/)'*•  S.  V,  347.) — I  am 

that     this    subject    baa    been    mooted    in 

&  Q,"  for  the  IxMik  collector  has  no  greater 

Like  Axon.   I   have   been   troubled 

)ts  of  mould  on  my  books,  but  have  found 

▼olumes  in  sciirlet  cloth  (I  allude  in  particular 

^  )lin'a  Scientific  Library)  are  e^pecinlly  liuble 

»ow  marks  of  damp.     My  conclusion  was  that 

Mlioe  ingredient  in  the  dye  htid  been  used, 

ua  every  one  knows,  having  a  ?pecial  afiioity 

the  moiMture  that  exists  in  this  insuhr  atmo> 

rrc,     I  have,  to  my  cost,  ahio  dbcovered  that 

plate*  paper  on  which  portraits  and  views  are 

iled  in  liable  to  become  covered  with  mould 

Bookti  are  then,  I  believe,  described  by  the 


trade  wi  "foxed."  I  posse&s  many  books,  the 
fr<jntis]>ieces  to  which  are  mined  from  this  cause, 
while  the  letter-press  remains  untouched.  Perhaps 
my  presumed  enemy,  salt,  or  iomc  salt,  is  present 
in  plate  paper  as  well  tis  in  scarlet  cloth.  1  may 
add  another  page  from  my  experience^  which  is 
thnt  for  some  years  I  lived  in  an  elevated  situation, 
and  was  more  annoyed  by  this  plague  of  mould 
than  I  am  now  my  residence  is  in  a  vdley.  I 
attribute  this  fact  to  the  great  changes  of  tempera- 
ture that  succeed  each  other  on  hills.  I  sun^pect 
that  all  paper  has  a  sensitiveness  to  iuot«ture,  and 
that  when  to  this  sensitiveness  is  added  any  in- 
gredient possessing  a  special  sensitiveness,  the 
ptper  does  not  dry,  and  mould  is  the  re^^ult.  The 
best  remedy  I  find  is  a  south  aspect  (though  the 
sun  has  been  almo.st  invisible  of  late),  and  in 
winter  to  constantly  use  the  room  where  books 
are  arranged,  consuming  plenty  of  gaa.  I  know 
full  well  that  a  resort  to  these  remedies  for  damp 
involves  the  fading  of  some  few  of  the  coloured 
cJoth.s  that  books  are  now  bound  in.  Some  light 
greens,  and  all  purples,  '*  fly  "  soon,  but  scanet 
stands  light,  though  it  fosters  mould  spots.  It  is 
possible,  too,  that  sun  and  artificial  light,  and 
their  consequent  heat,  have  a  tendency  to  make 
leather  bindings  brittle*  This  is  a  suspicion  of 
mine,  and,  if  any  of  your  correspondents  .ire  in  a 
position  to  confirm  it,  we  shall  then  learn  thrtt  the 
owner  of  a  libniry,  like  most  other  people,  may 
choose  the  lesser  of  two  evils,  but  not  fly  from  evil 
alfogether.  G.  H.  W.

Bishop  RoBiyaoN  (5^^  S.  t.  249,  335.)— I  am 
much  obliged  for  E.  H.  A.*b  communication,  I 
hiui  not  before  seen  Zouch's  book.  It  is,  however, 
very  vugue.  He  gives  the  date  neither  of  the 
Bishop's  birth  nor  death.  He  is  probably  wrong 
when  he  says  that  Robinson  went  as  secretary  to 
an  embassy  in  which  his  principal  died,  and  he 
executed  the  otfice  ;  for  this  would  seem  to  be 
a  mlstt^ken  version  of  the  historical  fact  that  the 
Earl  of  Jersey,  who  was  to  have  gone  as  Am- 
busijador  to  the  Conference  at  Utrecht,  dieil,  and 
the  Bishop  was  sent  instead  with  the  Earl  of 
StraffoTd  as  Ambcwsador  and  Minister  Plenipo- 
tentiary. At  this  time  Robinson  was  a  Cabinet 
Minister,  as  Lord  Privy  Seal. 

I  suppose  E.  H.  A.  has  derived  from  some  other 
source  tbe  information  that  the  Bishop  was  a 
great  benefactor  of  Cleasby.  Zouch  says  that  he 
had  an  "  earnest  desire  to  be,"  but  that  his  wife 
spent  too  much  money.  This  widow  Comwallia 
(on  whom  Zouch  Ih  so  hard)  was  a  daughter  of  Sir 
Jrdj  Charlton,  M.P.  for  Ludlow,  aind  once  Speaker 
of  the  House  of  Commons,  Allen,  in  hU  History 
of  the  County  of  Yorkf  tit.  Cleiwby,  says  that  the 
Bishop  was  born  there  in  1650,  and  died  at  Fid- 
ham  in  1723.    He  mentioos  nothing  of  the  Co<^^x

that  Charles  IL  was  descended  from  Elizabeth

Scottish  history.  In  the  account  of  the  royal  liae

*'  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Sir  Adam  Mure^  of  liow-

issue,  John,  Earl  of  Carrick,  who  changed  his

The  Earl  of  Carrick  Bucceeded  his  father  as 
Robert  IIL,  and  from  him  the  line  descended  in 
direct  succession  through  the  five  Jaraeses  and

Shakspeare's  Mention  op  Chess  (4**»  S.  x. 
51 6.) -The  late  Mr.  Howard  Staunton,  who  of  all 
men  was  surely  the  fittest  to  pronounce  on  a  ques- 
tion involving  both  chess  and  Shakspeare,  cave 
me  his  opinion  on  the  matter,  and,  as  one  of  three 
instances  of  Shakspeare's  mention  of  chess,  quoted 
from  King  John^  li.  1  : — 
"  Out,  insolent !  thy  bastard  shall  be  king, 

That  thou  may'st  be  a  queen  and  check  the  world."

The  Prater  Book  Translation  of  the  De- 
calogue (&"•  S.  V.  439,  460.)— I  had  thought  that 
Mr.  Dorr's  opinion,  that  this  was  an  independent 
transktion,  would  be  confirmed  by  Prof.  Westcott 
in  the  Hutory  of  the  BibU.  On  referring  to  him, 
however,  I  find  he  does  not  mention  the  Decalogue, 
but  he  tells  us  (p.  367)  that  the  Offertory  Sentences 
and  the  Comfortable  Words  are  rendered  from  the 
Vulgate,  probably  by  Cranmer,  and  that  the 
Evangelic  Hymns  are  also  an  independent  trans- 
lation, which  gives  probability  to  Mr.  Dorr's 
Bumstion.  C.  F.  S.  Warren,  M.A.

"Holding":  "TEinaraOT*  (5"»  S.  ▼.  30ft)- 
The  queries  of  Mr.  Fibhbr  may  he  sharth 
answered  as  follows.  The  Welsh  word  gafadm, 
a  holding,  and  the  Anglo-Saxon  gthaldan,  a  hoy* 
ing,  are  doubtless  as  old  as  the  lancna^  Hi 
EogUsh  word  "  holding  **  is  used  omj  in  a  k« 
sense  for  tenancy,  and  certainly  neyer  in  Littklt^ 
or  Coke  or  Gary  on  the  Tenuret  of  LiUldKL 
"  Holding  **  was  used  by  Shakspeare  for  the  ckw 
of  a  song  : — 

"  The  holding  every  man  shall  beat  as  loud 
As  his  strong  sides  can  Tx^ey.** 

"  Tenement "  is  and  was  a  legal  term  'wk 
enough  to  pass  a  manor,  or  narrow  and  defisiM 
enough  to  carry  a  right  of  pasturage ;  in  M. 
anything  marketable  for  tenancy.  The  reUtiii 
term  in  the  Irish  language  is  Uti^  the  Wel^  tfiiiK 
certainly  neither  term  so  wide  in  meaning  ss  (o^ 
ment.  They  are  more  like,  in  meaning,  tk 
common  acceptation  of  tenement — viz.  homesteil*

The  Irish  word  mis  means  a  tenant    TkR 
were  two  kinds,  taer  eeile  and   daer  ceiU.   Ikt 
there  was  bothichf  a  cottier  tenant ;  and  loir  W 
doer  were  prefixed  to  that  word  to  signify  /«' 
base  tenants.    The  general  term  for  one  whoi^ 
land,  a  farmer,  is  gabkaltut.     See  Die  Sa^

and  critical  history  of  the  variooj  English  tranalationi 
of  Holy  Scripture.  Dr.  Eadie  shows  on  indisputable 
eridenco  that  the  rernacular  uie  of  the  Holy  Scripture! 
baa  been  «t  all  times  the  birthright  of  the  rarious  kuc> 
ceraiTe  inhabitants  of  this  iiil&nd.  The  record  of  Gildaft 
atteita  the  buniing  of  copies  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  in 
Britain  during  the  persecution  of  Diocletian,  though  no 
fratrmenta  i*f  atiy  old  version  in  the  Celtic  dialects  of 
Engliind  and  Scotland  have  been  preuorTcd.  Theodore 
of  Tarsus,  the  Greek  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  seventh 
in  succession  from  Augustine,  issued  an  *'  Infltitutton  '' 
enjoining  parents  to  see  *'  that  their  children  were 
taught  to  say  the  Creed  and  Lord's  Praver  in  the  Tulgar 
tongue";  while  Coedmon,  a  monk  of  (Vhitby,  Guthlac, 
a  hermit  of  Finchale,  the  Tenerabte  llede,  and  King 
AU'reiJ,  promoted  the  translation  of  the  Praimn,  Gospels, 
and  other  different  portions  of  the  Uuly  i^ciiptures  into 
the  Tcrnacular  Anglo-Saxon.  These  eurly  versions  Dr. 
Eadie  allows  to  have  no  immediate  bearing  on  the  later 
translations  of  the  Bible,  but  yet  these  cnilier  writings 
have  helped  to  mould  in  various  ways  the  lune^unge  of 
Cirdmnn  and  Alfred  into  that  of  WycliflTe  and  Tyndale, 
fio  that  this  Anglo-Saxon  tongue  is  virtually  the  present 
Englieh,  and  has  *'b€en  spoken  in  our  land  by  suocefsive 
generations  for  fourteen  hundred  years,  and  htilJ  li?es  in 
the  power,  character,  and  beauty  of  our  modern  lan- 
guage, gifts  which  have  corae  down  to  ua  by  nuturaj,  in- 
heritance." The  real  gist  of  Dr.  Eadie'ij  hook  only  com- 
mence;* with  Wycliffe's  translation  of  the  Holy  Scriptures, 
of  which  be  gives  a  niiTiute  and  luctd  account,^  ditniling 
the  motires.  the  diffioultieii  the  labour;!,  and  ultimatt 
successes  of  its  author.  With  an  eoual  peraevcrMnco  Dr. 
Eadie  narrates  the  still  more  eventful  career  of  Tyndale, 
till  he  eiipiiites  Lis  xeal  for  the  dilTtiijiun  of  the  Divina 
Word  by  his  martyrdom ;  and  then,  in  sucoeMiun,  de- 
scribes the  tronslationa  by  Dr,  Milea  C^jverdile  and  by 
Rogers,  or  Thoma*  Jlatthews,  the  publication  of  the 
Great  Bible  under  Cranmer,  of  the  Biitbops'  Bible  under 
Eliiub<rtht  of  the  Authorized  Version  under  James  I. 
The  Kheims  and  Douai  version  is  also  treated  of  in 
a  sort  of  intcrcalatory  chapter,  while  what  may  be 
ciiHed  brief  apperidiceit  to  the  chapters  are  set  apart  for 
the  expresaioijs  of  the  author's  regretful  apologies  thnt 
his  own  country  of  Scotbud  has  done  nothing  towards 
the  accompHshmcnt  of  so  beneficial  and  bonotirabte  a 
work.  Dr.  Eadie,  in  the  latter  portion  of  his  treatise, 
boldly  sanctioos  the  work  of  revision  at  this  time  in 
progress  by  the  Committees  appointed  for  that  purpose. 

Much  information,  c&refully  digested,  hns  of  late  years 
been  collected  and  published  on  the  subject  of  tliese 
earlier  versions  of  the  Engliih  Bible,  by  Canon  Westcott,

work  of  Dr.  Eadie  is,  however,  in  considerable  advanca 
of  the«e  earlier  treatises,  and  he  may  be  said,  by^  hii 
Careful  references,  patient  investigations,  and  jiidicioug 
diecrimiuatioR  amidst  occasionally  conflicting  teitimoaien, 
to  bave  produced  what  will  prove  a  work  oi  authority  on

[SHMENT  IX  EFFIGY. 

I  newspaper  of  April  22  appeared 
the  sLn^'uhr  ouatom  praclised  by 
)  Portuguese  ami  Miiltc«e  vessels

tfciiig  on  it,  and  ultimately  casting 


strictly  annlogoua  to  our  own 
f  bnrning  the  effigy  of  Guy  Fawkea 
OTcmbcr.  Are  both  these  usages 
wt  Mr.  Tylor  cills  a  **  survival " 
,1  pi^mishmcnts  of  the  Middle  Ages  ? 
ly  seem  to  oiir  ideas,  this  practice 
jfle  on  a  senseless  effigy,  which  ib 
Doys  or  men  of  the  lower  orders^ 
of  the  laws  of  civilized  states  and 
wried  out  with  all  the  fornuilities 
ttence. 

of  the  IcquiHition  in  Spain,  a  con- 
whn  escaped  from  prison  or  evaded 
jlriy  Jiumt  in  effi^T"  at  the  auto 
Hi  ^oifidr.  rinquiaitiond'EspagnCf 
Paris,  1816).  It  was  the  same  in 
*ly. 

»y  an  Ordonnance  of  Louis  XIV., 
.execution  in  effigy  was  restricted 
^death  agtiinst  crLminais  who  con- 
fted  to  appear  after  due  Bunimon? 


(Recmil  des  Anciennes  L&u  Fra«fawe«,  torn.  xviiL 
p,  408),  At  a  later  period  this  kind  of  execution 
was  performed  by  hanging  a  picture  of  the  criminal 
to  the  galJowB;  but  there  secins  no  retvson  todonbt 
that  before  the  above  ordinance,  not  only  sentenoea 
of  death,  hut  other  puniahmentg  were  executed  on 
a  real  effigy  of  the  offender  {vide  Serbillon,  Code 
Crvnindf  torn.  ii.  p.  60»  la3)«  and  the  practice  of 
haogmg  a  painting  of  the  offender  continued,  till 
it  waa  abrogated  in  the  present  century  by  the 
Code  d'lnstruction  Criminelle  (ilorlin,  Hipcrioirc 
iU  Jurifprudenctf  torn.  iil.  p.  746 ;  Didloz^  tonu  xiv. 
p.  445). 

In  tb©  Middle  Ages  people  saw  nothing  im- 
proper, mu<di  lesa  farcical,  in  trjing  a  dummy.  In 
A.D.  1465  the  Castiliim  nobility,  in  a  $freat  a»- 
scmbly  at  Avila,  solemnly  tried  Henry  1V.»  King 
of  Ott.stile,  for  iiiisgiovernment.  A  spacious  theatre 
wan  erected  in  a  plain  outatde  the  town  : — 

"  An  iraage  representinrr  the  king^  ww  se&ted  on  a 
throne,  clii'l  in  royal  robta,  with  a  crovrn  on  it«  hoad,  a 
aceptro  in  ila  hand,  and  the  (*word  of  juaiice  b^  ita  aide. 
The  accusation  against  tho  king  wag  read,  and  the  eon* 
tenco  of  depaditinn  iiroDOHinccJ  in  the  presence  of  a 
numcrotiA  nts^mbly.  At  the  olo«e  of  the  first  article, 
the  Archbiihop  of  Toledo  adrancod  and  tore  the  crown 
from  the  head  of  the  image  ;  at  the  ckae  of  the  eecond, 
the  Conde  do  Placentia  6natched  tho  Bword  of  justice 
from  itfl  side ;  at  the  cinse  of  the  third,  the  Conde  de 
Bcneventc  wrested  the  sceptre  from  ita  band;  at  the 
clobe  of  the  laat,  Don  Diego  Lopes  de  Stuniga  tumbled  it 
hcAdtong  from  the  throne.  At  the  same  instant  Don 
Alfonso  waa  proclaimed  King  of  CaBtihs  and  Leon  ia 
bia  etcad."— Robertson,  ChtLrl^t  V,,  vol.  i.  p,  130. 

Sir  Samuel  Komilly  relates  that  when  he  was  at 
Geneva,  in  1781,  six  men  were  tried  and  convicted 
of  a  b:T  -'  ■■-  ind  three  of  them  having  escaped, 
ihey  X'.  cod  to  be  whipjxjd  in  eflig)%  which 

wasexLv....  .  ..,  the  pictures  of  men  being  whipped, 

with  the  offenders'  namea  inBcrifoed  under  themf 
being  carried  round  the  city  (Liftf  vol.  L  p»  68). 

No  trace  however  of  punishment  in  effigy  ia  to 
be  found  in  the  ancient  or  modem  lawa  of  Eng- 
land. The  old  proceedings  a^tnst  a  criminal  who 
evaded  apprehension  were  by  outlawry,  after  which 
ho  might,  in  ancient  timers,  be  killed  by  any  one. 
But  there  waa  no  vicarious  execution  done  upon 
an  image  of  wood  or  straw. 

As  to  the  laws  of  the  Inquisition*  they  were 
never  introduced  into  England,  though  Biahop 
Gardiner  did  his  best  to  effect  it  in  the  reign  of 
Philip  and  Mary.  These  facts  seem  to  render  it 
doubtful  what  example  it  w»b  that  our  forefathers 
ropied,  when  they  tirst  commemorated  the  Gun- 
powder treason  by  burning  the  effigy  of  Guy 
Fawkea.  Probably  some  of  them  may  have  aeen 
heretics  burn.t  in  effigy  at  an  auto  da  fc  in  Spain 
or  Portugal,  and  have  retaliated  in  the  same  way 
on  the  most  odious  of  the  conspirators. 

An  Ittdian  heretic  and  quack,  named  Borri,  who 
was  thus  punished  by  the  Inqui^itioD  in  1600, 
S!\rca5ticaUy  remarked  that  he  never  felt  so  cold

TAX  COLLECTORS  AND  TEETOTALERS. 

In  the  translation  from  a  French  pamphlet,  which 
TFM  rigidly  suppressed  in  France,  into  English,  en- 
titled A  Folitical  Account  of  Uu  Diminvtion  of 
the  Rtvmut*  and  Trade  of  France  by  Taxes  and 
Sufmdim,  deduced  from  the  Year*  I6611  to  1699, 
LondoD,  1702,  are  some  curioua  fiicts  which  oaght 
to  make  our  tax  collectors  well  satisfied  with  their 
lot,  and  cause  the  hearts  of  our  teetoUklcra  to  re- 
joice at  the  misery  of  which  total  abstinence  was 
the  sign.  After  saying  that  **  in  the  year  166(» 
the  vdue  of  land  and  industry  was  at  its  height, 
and  sinw  that  time  has  been  daily  sinking,"  the 
author  points  out  the  oauie»  of  the  decJine,  which, 
in  case  of  land,  he  asserts  was  one-half  its  valuo 
to  thirty  years ;  and,  alluding  to  the  manner  in 
which  the  taxes  were  collected,  he  tells  us : — 

**  Ai  the  collection  of  the  lax  (on  land)  b  one  of  tbe 
mcii  fatigumx  employ inent4  imitdtmblo,  »o  all  the 
coUccton  perforui  it  together,  and  walk  through  the 
vtreeta  in  a  body  of  tUx  or  seven,  witboat  the  irooJ 
maDSgement  of  relieriDK  one  another,  and  aa  the  wbole 
tax  is  never  coIlecCed  in  one  year,  ibc  collectors  for  the 
present  year  are  plundering  one  »ldc,  whibt  those  of  the 
lust  year  are  pilla^Mn^  tbe  other,  who  bemg  joined  by 
the  collcctor§  for  salt  und  other  comrooditieB  form  a 
briguJo,  who  are  continually  beating  the  pavement  with- 
out receiving  anything  hut  a  thoosand  imprecations; 
and  a»  it  U  the  custom  at  the  tteseeiimcnt  of  the  tax  to 
conceul  their  fitocka  and  all  taiabl©  comnjoditiea  by  an 
entire  cessation  of  trade  and  commerce,  so  at  the  col- 
lection of  it  they  pay  only  penny  by  penny  to  revenge 
themselvea  of  the  collectors,  by  rctnrdiing  their  paymenta 
to  the  Receivers  general,  or  to  stop  the  progresa  of  such 
impoflitionfl  for  the  future.  So  that  after  Btrolling  to  and 
fro  they  carry  back  nothing  but  scurrilous  language, 
whilst  on  the  other  hand  they  are  londeJ  with  charges 
by  the  Rec«tver«  general,  who  uw  compuUito  meaaures 
to  ixuike  good  the  payments  and  dcHicienciefl  of  the  tax : 
and  though  there  are  some  p1a<?es  that  ptij  their  quota 
at  the  time  appointed  without  such  conipuUive  pro- 
ceedingR,  by  the  aBeiaiance  of  Rome  personi*  ivho  advance 
them  money,  yet  they  arc  sure  to  be  taxed  more  the 

^ear  following,  bemujo  the  BeceWer^^  in  mtijig  the  pari«b 
avB  power  sufficient  to  act  at  diicretion,  under  the 
pretence  that  they  themselves  are  answerable  lor  the 
recovery  and  paym*  nt  of  the  tax.  Thus  the  collectors 
are  forced  to  visit  a  bundrod  times  one  house,  that  haj 
money  or  effects  concealed ;  which  pltthdy  Ahows  that 
the  inequality  of  the  tax  and  the  disorderly  mnoagc- 
ment  of  collectirig  it  costa  the  ftubjt-ct  mure  thwn  the 
Crown  receivea  hv  it,  in  putting  a  stop  to  trade  nnJ  the 
oonsumption  of  the  nntural  pDjduct,  the  inevitable  ruin 
and  bane  of  a  nation,'* 

As  regards  the  effect  of  duties  on  common  wines, 
which  in  France  are  what  beer  is  in  England,  the 
author  of  the  pamphlet  says  : — 

*•  But  what  ij  Kill  of  worse  consequence  to  the  gene- 
rality of  Prance  ii,  that  the  common  people,  who  are  in 
greutcrnumbers  than  the  bettor  ^o^t,  and  connequi-ntly 
couaume  more,  are  more  hftraised  bv  taxes,  and  BufTcr

When  Captain  James  was  compiling  his  Militarif 
iJidionary^  Sir  Robert  furnished  him  with  note» 
for  the  iurticle  '*  Partizan,"  drawn  from  the  cam- 
paigns of  Turenne,  &c.,  and  his  own  personal  ex- 
perience. These  Captain  James  had  the  bad  taste 
to  sneer  at  while  he  used  tbcm.  Sir  Eobert 
Wilson  viaited  the  offence  with  the  following 
caustic  lines.  I  have  not  been  able  to  find  a  copy 
of  the  Jint  edition  of  the  Militnnj  Didionaryf 
either  in  the  British  Museum  or  in  the  library  of

was  suppressed.  The  linci*,  I  beheve,  have  never

OAEEICK'3  FAREWELL  TO  THE  STAGE. 
On  Srtturday  last,  the  loth  nf  June,  the  ceotwry 
was  completed  since  David  Oarrick  took  leave  of 
the  Bta^o  for  ever  in  1776.  His  first  appearance 
IE  London  wns  made  lit  the  unlicensed  thentre  in 
Goodman's  Fields,  October  19,  1741,  on  which 
occjiaion  be  played  Richard  the  Third,  The  piece 
was  announced  to  be  acted  between  the  two  parta 
of  a  concert*  for  admii«sion  to  wbich  money  w,'ui 
taken,  but  the  tragedy  was  thrown  in  ^ralin ;  the 
performers  being  supposed  to  act  simply  for 
their  diveraion.  In  the  biU,  which  was  reprinti^d 
many  years  ago  by  the  well-known  and  mnch- 
esteenaed  Mr.  Smith,  of  Lisle  Street,  are  the  wordii, 
*'  The  part,  of  King  ItLchard  by  a  Gentleiuan,  who 
never  apjyeared  on  any  Stage."  This  was  untrue, 
as  Garriek  had  acted  at  Ipswich  during  the  sainmer 
of  the  same  year,  making  his  dchiU  aa  Aboan,  in 
Oronmko.     Mr.  Smith's  fac-simile  has  been  since

in   1721,  net.   forty-five,  and  was  lauried  la

to  have  had  the  following  children,  whwie  names

baa  recently  occurred  to  me  that  as  Leeds,  in

might  have  been  the  object  of  the  issuer.  The 
omission  of  the  huit  letter  in  the  town  may  ha\'« 
been  an  error  of  the  engraver,  which  was  of  fre-

Epworth  Fortificatioks. — It  is  affirmed  in 
Lewis's  Tcjiograjihical  Dictionary,  vol.  ii.  p.  161, 
that  at  Epwortli,  in  the  iale  of  Axholme,  there  was 
fonnerly  a  castellated  mansion,  "  of  which  nothing 
now  remains  except  the  site,  where  within  the  last 
fifty  years  have  been  dug  up  some  of  the  cannon 
belonging  to  the  fortifications."  Can  any  of  your

Mr.  Thomas  Wilson  and  Wilson's  Promon- 
tory.— The  southern  point  of  Australia  is  situated 
on  a  considerable  jut  of  land  which  bears  the  name 
of  Wilson's  Promontory,  and  which  was  named  by 
Governor  Hunter  after  a  Mr.  Thomas  Wilson,  of 
London,  who  is  not  more  particularly  described 
than  as  a  personal  friend  of  Flinders  (Flinders, 
Voyage  to  Ten-a  Aiistraluj  vol.  i.  p.  115,  n.).  I 
am  anxious  to  identify  this  gentleman  ;  also  to 
ascertain  whether  he  was  the  same  person  to  whom 
Surgeon  John  White  dedicated  The  Journal  of  a 
Voyage  to  New  Soutli  Wal^y  published  in  London 
in  179(),  one  of  the  contemporary  accounts  of  the 
voyage  of  that  "First  Fleet,"  which  carried  out 
the  colonists  who  laid  the  foundations  of  the 
British  settlements  in  Australia.  J.  B.

Mr.  Hunter's  "  South  Yorkshire  "  :  Don- 
caster  Castle. — As  I  am  preparing  a  revised 
edition  of  Mr.  Hunter's  SouVl  Yorkshire^  which 
will  include  all  the  learned  author's  own  cor- 
rections and  additions,  which  are  very  numerous, 
I  shall  be  glad  of  any  communications  that  will 
enhance  the  value  of  the  work.  But  I  particularly 
wish  that  any  correspondent  would  furnish  -me 
with  conclusive  evidence  that  there  was  a  feudal 
castle  at  Doncaster,  superseding  the  Koman  for- 
tress, and  standing  on  the  site  now  occupied  by 
St.  George's  Parish  Church.  I  am  well  aware 
that  the  second  castle  is  assumed  to  have  existed, 
and  that  Leland  says, "  When  St.  George's  Church 
was  erected,  much  of  the  ruines  of  the  ciistelle  was 
taken  for  the  foundation  and  filling  up  of  the 
waullis  of  it."  But  what  I  want  to  know  is,  were 
these  only  Eonum  or  actually  Norman  remains? 
The  feudalMord  of  Doncaster  had  his  castle  at 
Mulgrave  ;  what  positive  proof  then  can  be  given 
that  he  had  a  fortified  residence  at  Doncaster,  on 
the  site  of  the  Roman  encampment  ?

The  Hartw^ell  Family.— Can  any  reader  give 
me  any  particulars  about  William  HartweU,  in 
holy  orders,  who  died  June  1,  1725,  and  was 
interred  at  Durham  1  He  was  Rector  of  Whickham 
and  of  Stanhope,  co.  Durham,  and  appears  to  have 
been  of  the  family  of  Hartwell,  represented  in 
1871  by  Sir  Brodrick  Hartwell,  of  Dale  Hall, 
Essex,  and  descended  from  Captains  Humphrey 


and  William  Hartwell,  who  served  in  the  Inss 
wars  previous  to  1649.  William  was  Mayor  of 
the  city  of  Limeridc  in  1659.  The  aims  of  this 
family  are  described  as  "  Sa.,  a  buck's  head,  a- 
bossed  arg.  attired  or,  between  the  attires  a  cross 
patce-fitchee,  of  the  last,"  &c.  A  memorandon 
recording  the  gift  of  some  church  plate  by  WUlioD 
Hartwell,  Rector  of  Stanhope,  says,  in  referring  to 
the  inscription  upon  it,  "and  likewise  a  stagjfi 
head  and  cross,  being  part  of  y*  said  Doctor's  cost 
of  arms,  1725."  W.  M.  £ogl£ST05£. 

Lxjcatelli. — I  possess  four  pictures  of  view 
purchased  at  the  Strawberry  Hill  sale.  The  sub- 
jects are  the  tomb  of  Oaius  Cestus,  the  Pantheco, 
the  Maison  Carree  at  Nismes,  and  the  Coliaena. 
They  are  in  body  colour,  and  have  solid  wood 
frames,  gilt,  and  measure  sixteen  and  a  M 
inches  by  eleven  and  a  half  inches.  They  tcr 
said  to  be  by  Lucatelli.  Bryan  says  that  Os 
painter  was  bom  1660,  and  died  1741.  Thevals 
seem  of  the  same  date ;  and  the  Pantheon  is  re- 
presented without  the  two  belfries  in  front  of  tb 
dome,  said  to  have  been  erected  by  Poje 
Urban  VIII.  in  1632.  From  this  circumstaiiee  is 
would  seem  that  these  pictures  were  painted  ht- 
fore  1632,  and  could  not  therefore  have  beeab 
Lucatelli,  if  Biyan's  dates  are  correct  Woofl 
any  correspondent  of  "N.  &  Q."  kindly  into 
me  by  whom  these  pictures  were  probably  paintii 
and  their  probable  date  ?  I  beliere  there  w« 
eight  other  companion  pictures  sold  at  the  tsm 
time ;  and  they  were  said  to  have  been  purduaed 
by  Dr.  Hawtrey,  but  I  have  never  been  abk  » 
trace  them.  A.  J.  K.

Ballads. — Walker  tells  his  readers  (Suftriie

Bulhead,  who  was  presented  to  a  living  in  0^

a  trick,  was  the  jest  of  it  while  he  continued  fli| 
them,  and  the  subject  of  their  jioetry  after  !«• 
gone  ;  for  they  made  ballads  on  him,  and  o* 
monly  called  him  Redshanks,  because  he  uaA  ■ 
wear  red  stockings."  Have  any  of  these  bafla^ 
been  preserved  in  either  print  or  manuscript !

That  the  course  of  thought  ta  contmry  to  the 
cour^  of  action,  and  thnt  lanpuape  pjenemlly  pro- 
ceeds in  ivccordance  with  the  former,  I  believe 
Mr.  Tkw  will  admit.  That  the  order  of  the  coursv 
of  thought  is  on  mre  occasions  adopted,  I  proved 
by  referring  to  a  well-known  line^  Virg.,  .-En.  ii.  563. 
I  now  U4ld  two  others  to  strengthen  my  position — 
Virg.,  ^^n.  vl  6G7,  and  Hor..  Od.  IV.  iv.  11. 

I  hold  thjit  the  Authorized  Version  is  in  each  of 
the  present  inst.ances  unfortunate,  hut  not  altogether 
indefen&ible  if  tnkcn  n^  illustrating  this  mode  of 
speech.  In  the  origintil  Greek  the  langoage  em- 
ployed ia  a  less  striking  example  of  this  peculi- 
arity, but  only  so  because  co-ordinate  verbs  are 
not  employed.  Again,  when  Mr,  Tew  B:iys  that 
one  is  a  more  serious  mistranslation  than  the 
other,  I  think  he  must  mean  that  it  is  only  more 
geriouB  relatively  to  the  results  entailed,  but  that, 
absoluUly,  the  two  errors,  if  errors  at  all,  are 
equally  serious.  I  for  one  would  gladly  see  these 
verses  differently  rendered  ;  but  I  still  think  that 
it  is  saying  too  much  to  call  thera  mistmnslatioas. 

I  will  now  make  an  additional  note  which  con- 
sidenibly  influcncea  the  question  in  hand.  Had  it 
not  been  for  want  of  time.  I  should  have  remarked 
on  it  before.  It  is  noticeable  that  in  both  instanoes 
the  participles  are  aorist  participles^  a  fact  which 
naturally  leads  us  to  inquire  the  meaning  of  this 
tense.  The  actions  or  conditions  denoted  by  the 
aorist  tense  are  really  only  a  s\ibordinate  species 
under  the  gi^nus  of  complete  or  perfect  actions  or 
conditions.  They  comprise  all  which  are  bc^gua 
and  ended  in  a  moment,  if  I  may  nse  the  pkniie, 
in  contradistinction  to  those  which  take  a  longer 
time  in  attaining  fulfilment. 

We  shall  therefore  expect  three  aorist  tenses, 
according  as  the  **  momentary  *'  action  or  condition 
is  predicated  in  time  past,  present,  or  future  t*i  the 
standard*  point  of  time  ;  and  these  will  be  re- 
peated in  each  voice  and  mood,  and  in  the  infini- 
tive and  participle.  The  following  t^nble  of  the 
aorist  tenses,  in  the  indicative  active  and  ixuisive 
of  "  to  strike,"  will  show  what  I  mean.  I  give 
only  those  forms  which  are  exclusively  appeopri- 
ated  by  the  aorista  : —

p!irtJcii)lts  and,  accordingly,  either  past  or  present, 
which  occurs  in  each  of  the  piusaagcu  under  our 
couNidenition.  In  each  case,  therefore,  it  may 
denote  a  niornentury  tiction  either  previous  to  or 
coterujinoijii  with  the  action  embodied  in  the  verb 
to  which  it  ia  attached. 

In  the  first  tjuoiiUion,  Kpt^daavrti  ia  a  ptire

in  nil  case*  of  ambiguity  in  the  language,  the  cod-

exprowing  an  action  previous  to  thut  of  the  verb

But  !  have  only  aa  yet  assumed  that  one

died  1586,  leaving  an  only  child,  Mary  Fane. 
The  male  issue  of  George  therefore  became  extinct. 
The  above-named  Edward  was  dead,  leaving  an 
elder  son,  also  named  Edward. 

The  last-named  Edward  and  Mary  Fane  were 
the  rival  claimants  in  1604,  the  f5rmer  as  heir 
male  under  the  will  and  tenant  of  the  fiimily 
castle  of  Abergavenny,  and  the  latter  as  heir 
general.  The  case  was  debated  before  the  House  for 
seven  days,  and  at  last  they  airived  at  the  following 
conclusion ; — 

"That  the  question  seemed  not  so  perfectly  and 
exactly  resolved,  as  might  give  clear  and  undoubted 
satisfaction  to  all  the  consciences  and  judgments  of  all 
the  Lords,  for  the  precise  point  of  right;  and  yet  so 
much  was  shewn  and  alleged  on  each  part,  as  in  the 
opinion  of  tho  House  (if  it  might  stand  vrith  the  King's 
good  pleasure  and  grace)  made  them  both  capable  and 
worthy  of  honour.  It  was  therefore  moved,  and  so 
agreed,  that  information  should  be  given  unto  the  King's 
Majesty  of  all  tho  proceedings  of  the  said  Court  in  this 
matter;  and  that  humble  suit  should  be  made  to  His 
Majesty  from  the  Lords  for  the  ennobling  of  both 
parties,  by  way  of  restitution;  tho  one  to  the  said 
barony  of  Bergaveimy,  and  the  ancient  vlace  belonging  to 
the  tamCf  and  the  other  to  the  barony  or  Lc  Desponcer." 

King  James  agreed  to  the  proposal,  but  required 
the  House  to  determine  upon  which  of  the  candi- 
dates the  barony  of  Bergavenny  should  be  settled, 
and,  by  a  majority  of  votes,  it  was  determined  that 
Edward  Nevill,  the  heir  male,  should  be  settled 
therein.  He  was  accordingly  summoned,  and  took 
his  seat.  The  "  ancient  place  "  referred  to  in  the 
resolution  was  no  doubt  the  precedence  acquired 
by  a  writ  of  summons  to  William  Beiuichamp  to 
attend  the  Parliament  of  Richard  II.  at  York. 

In  reference  to  the  last  paragraph  of  G.  E.  C.*s 
note,  I  would  refer  him  to  the  earldom  of  Munster, 
conferred  on  William  IV. 's  children  in  succession. 

E.  Passixqiiam.  ' 

Some  time  since,  in  desultory  reatiing,  I  met 
with  a  mention  of  this  title,  stating  that  it  was 
held,  or  conferred,  by  possession  of  tlie  castle,  &c. 
Unfortunately  I  ciinnot  now  recollect  ivJurc  I  saw 
this,  but  it  struck  me,  because  I  had  before  won- 
dered why  this  ancient  dignity,  which  "  came  with 
a  lass,"  should  not  "  go  with  a  lass,''  to  use  King 
James's  words.  I  suppose  I  attached  too  much 
authority  to  this  statement ;  still  it  seemed,  so 
far,  to  agree  with  Collins,  who  says,  after  premis- 
ing that  Edward  Nevill,  who  married  the  Beau- 
champ  heiress,  "was  kept  out  of  the  castle  and 
manor  of  Bergavenny  by  Richard  Beauchamp, 
Earl  of  Wtirwick,"  that,  "  upon  the  humble 
remonstrance  of  Edward  Nevill  and  his  wife, 
they  obtained  livery  of  the  said  castle,"  and 
"  two  years  after  was  summoned  by  writ  by  that 
title  to  Parliament,"  so  that  the  title  seemed  to 
have  followed  the  castle  ;  and  again,  in  the  subse- 
quent dispute  between  Mary  Fane  and  Sir  Edward 
KeviU,  "  on  which  Sir  Edward  the  castle  of  Ber- 


f^avenny  was  settled,"  the  title  was  adjudged  ti 
him,' still  making  the  title  almost  an  appeni^ti 
the  castle.  I  ackuo^f ledge,  however,  I  have  M 
sufficiently  studied  the  subject  to  call  it  Deo» 
sarily  a  barony  by  tenure,  and  am  away  ftt)m  or 
old  haunts,  with  little  access  to  books.  Mr  n» 
tion  of  the  title  of  Le  Despencer  was  inddeno^ 
and  I  readily  acknowledge  tne  superior  acqaai^ 
ance  of  O.  E.  C.  with  the  subject  generaliy. 

T.  J.  BEssnn 

G.  E.  C.  doubts  whether  there  is  a  preoedirt 
for  a  commoner  being  raised  to  the  peexapi 
England  (United  Kingdom?)  with  a  special* 
mainder.  I  can  give  him  several,  though  tm 
very  recently. 

James  Grenville,  of  Butleigh,  Somenet,  n 
raised  to  the  peerage  in  1797  by  the  title  of  Li 
Glastonbury,  with  special  remi&inderto  hisbrotk 
General  Grenville.  Like  the  two  commonen  it- 
eluded  in  the  Harlech  patent,  they  were  botks 
the  time  members  of  the  House  of  Commons. 

The  Right  Hon.  Welbore  Ellis  was  cud 
Baron  Mendip  in  1794,  with  a  special  remaidi 
to  the  issue  of  his  sister,  Mrs.  Agar. 

Robert  Walpole,  son  of  the  great  Minister,  m 
created  Lord  Walpole  in  1723,  with  special  ■> 
mainder  to  his  brothers,  with  remainder  onrfe 
his  father  (then  a  commoner),  with  remainder  d« 
to  his  grandfather. 

Sir  Richard  Onslow  (brother  of  the  Speibl 
was  raised  to  the  peerage  in  1716  by  the  tide  ^ 
Lord  Onslow,  with  special  remainder  to  his  oiA^ 
with  remainder  over. 

The  list  could  be  extended,  but  I  willoai^ 
add  that  in  the  peerage  of  Ireland  there  are  sv 
very  recent  precedents — that  of  Lord  RatMoM* 
in  ISCi),  and  tluit  of  Lord  Clermont  in  I85i

On  some  Obscure  Words  in  Sdaksi'icare  : 
snaksreare  accused  of  provincialism  (5"*  s. 
V.  201,  337,  390.)— Mr.  Dahes  must  allow  me  to 
aay  he  evades  the  question  of  A.  E.  A.  Mr, 
Daviks  had  asserted  that  "oar  great  drjimatist 
was  accused  Vh  Am  liftiimc  of  being  sometimes 
provincial  in  his  language."  A,  E,  A,  very  pro- 
perly iisked  for  proof  of  this  assertion.  Mr, 
Davies  replies  that  "  it  is  well  known  that  when 
the  plays  of  Sbakspeare  first  appeared,"  &c.,  i.e. 
early  in  bis  lifetime.  Now  of  the  position  that 
>Shukspeare  was  so  accused,  whether  early  or  late 
in  his  lifetime,  Mr.  Davies  gives  no  proof  what- 
ever. He  quotes  from  Edwi\rd  Phillips's  Theatrum 
Podanimf  the  first  edition  of  which  was  printed 
in  1C75,  i.«.  fifty-nine  years  after  Shakspeare's 
death,  and  Bryden's  Defence  of  the  EptJo^c^  1673, 
eked  out  with  an  extract  from  Jonson'a  Poetaster, 
of  which  a  word  by-and-by.  If  all  these  work^ 
had  been  written  soon  after  "  the  plays  of  Sbak- 
speare first  app^ed,"  they  could  not  support  Mr, 
Davie8*9  assertion ;  for  Phillips  says  nothing  what- 
ever of  Shakapeare's  provincialisms  (only  '*  his 
unfiled  expressions,  his  rambling  and  indigested 
fancies"),  «md  Dryden,  in  all  his  criticisms  on 
Shakspeare,  never  utters  a  single  word  on  the  sub- 
ject of  Shakspeare's  provincialisms;  and  as  to 
Tlie  Poetaster,  even  if  Jon  son  (as  Knight  and 
others  believe)  intended  to  shadow  fortli  .Shak- 
speare in  the  person  of  Virgil,  it  is  utterly  innocent 
of  such  an  accusation  as  that  which  Mr.  Davibs 
{Inserts  was  made  *'  by  many  noisy  critics."  Th« 
thing  asserted  is  a  fiction,  without  the  faintest 
substratum  of  fact.  The  accusa-tion  of  Phillip* 
and  Dryden,  and  **  many  noisy  critics ''  of  a  later 
period,  was  not  ilreamt  of  till  Shakspeare  had  been 
dead  and  buried  nearly  half  a  century,  and  it  was 
identical  with  that  which  Ben  Jonaon  reserved  for 
posthumous  publication  in  his  Timhf^i%  and  had  no 
more  to  do  with  provincialism  in  word  or  phrase 
than  with  the  green  cheese  of  the  moon.  There  is 
not  a  particle  of  proof  that  Milton  hud  any  hand 
in  Phillips's  TheatTum  Poeiarum.  The  style  of 
the  prefm*  Is  unlike  Milton's,  jind  the  criticLsm  on 
hJhakspeare  discrepant  with  what  Milton  did  write 
of  Shakspeare.  But  if  Milton  had  been  the  author 
of  the  book,  and  the  alleged  accusation  were  found 
in  it,  Mr.  DAViEs^a  position  is  no  better  off. 
Does  he  suppose  that  MOton  wrote  his  earliest 
poem  in  Shakspeare's  lifetime  1  I  have  no  doubt 
whatever  that  Jonaon's  Poeiasiir  was  a  personal 
affair  ;  and  that  by  Virgil  he  meant  a  well-known 
poet  then  alive  I  am  as  well  assured  as  that  he 
meant  himself  by  Horace.  Mb.  Davies  coolly 
says  Jonson  was  "  referring  to  Shakspeare."  On 
what  ground  ?    The  best  critics  are  not  agreed  on

the  point ;  aud  even  if  llioy  were  agreed,  it  is  rf 
point  which  does  not  admit  of  proot  Why  should 
the  gurnuse  of  a  few  critics  be  tukcQ  for  an  ascer- 
tiuned  fftct  ?  There  urc  nl  least  six  re^isons  vviiy 
it  is  improbable  that  Virgil  in  Tlu,  Po&ivuicr  wsis 
Shak*peare, 

1.  BhaLspeare  was  called  Ovid,  and  comi>ared 
to  Piaulusi,  Terence,  nnd  Martial  :  ho  was  never 
called  or  compared  to  Virgil,  so  far  as  I  am  aware, 

2.  Spenser  was  ctdled  Virgil  in  13urton'& 
Ajiaiovxy  of  MtUinchAij,  part  iii.  jsec.  2,  mem.  iiu, 
where  a  staniWt  is  fjuoted  from  the  F.  Q.  as  the 
work  of  "our  modern  Maro"  («i<?  in  ed.  1G7<3  ;  in 
ed.  1621  it  ia  *'the  poet"  only).  Alao,  Lord 
Surrey  was  called  Virgd  before  the  name  passed 
on  to  Spenser. 

3.  VirpjU  is  the  nickname  of  a  bacolic  or  of  an 
epic  writer  :  Sbakapeare  was  neither ;  he  was 
araatorj'  and  dramatic  only. 

-I.  The  lidtintrefrom  Parnaaus  ia  evidence  that 
Ben  hud  been  put  to  his  purgation  by  Shakspeare, 
About  the  very  year  Tkc  Fodoitcf  was  published 
(1601). 

5.  Ben's  V^irgil  ia  a  writer  of  the  highest  dnish, 
who  writes  with  exactne&s,  and  reviews  with  care. 
We  know  that  he  always  censured  Shakspeure  for 
the  want  of  those  very  virtues  he  praises  in  Virgil. 

6.  Ben's  Virgil  fits  our  matured  estimate  of 
.Shakspeare,  and  not  that  of  his  contemporaries. 
The  identity  of  Virgil  Avith  Shakspeare  would  he 
fin  anachronism. 

For  these  reasons  I  protest  ngaiuat  Horace's 
"  true  thought  of  Vir(?il  •'  being  taken  m  Ben  Jon- 
son^s  judgment  on  Shakspeare.  I  uuiy  add  that

Wiis  the  cause.  The  trees  were  killed  :  they  were

now  universally  considered  Arabic  is  called  "  Ma- 
grabin,  Western,  or  the  Andalosian  alphabet,"*  in 
the  collection  made  by  Ahmad  bin  Abu  Bekr  bin 
Wahshi,  the  Nabathean,  in  the  eighth  century. 
This  shows  the  very  early  period  to  which  the 
commencement  of  its  diffusion  among  the  lan- 
guages of  Europe  generally  must  be  referred,  and 
affords  evidence  of  the  adoption  by  the  Arabs  of 
the  Greek  language  and  customs  at  a  still  earlier 
period. 

The  Arabic  word  Abjad  means  the  numerical 
power  of  letters  by  which  dates  are  commemo- 
rated in  chronograms  significant  of  the  events 
recorded,  the  powers  of  the  letters  used,  with  some 
exceptions,  being  the  same  in  Hebrew,  Greek,  and 
Arabic.  The  letters  of  the  Greek  and  Arabic 
alphabets  occur  in  different  order  of  succession, 
and  the  word  Ahjad  being  formed  out  of  Alpha, 
Beta,  Gamma,  Delta,  the  first  four  letters  of  the 
Greek  alphabet,  tends  to  show  that  the  Arabs 
must  have  derived  their  knowledge  of  the  system 
from  the  Greeks.  R.  E.  W.  Ellis.

CES  OF  AN  AMERICAN  LOYALIST. 
Ifi74  I  sent  to  '*  N.  &  Q."  (5*^  S.  L  103) 
from  the  Ml!j.  autobiography  of  my 
\  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Boucher,  Rector  ot* 
and,  after  hia  return  to  England,  Vicar 
I  hnd  not  at  that  time  seen  the  com- 
igraphy,  hut  only  an  abridgment  of  it 
e  of  the  family,  from  which  I  extract'Cd 
which  appeared  in  "  N.  &  Q."  I  have 
"x  months  read  the  entire  MS.,  and 
e  interesting  pictures  of  American 
as  well  aa  several  graphic  descnp- 
r*8  own  troubiciJ  as  a  Church  and 
•tirring  f  inies,  I  venture  to  think 
are  of  sufficient  interest  to  bo 
ic  I  will  endeavour,  as  far  aa 
avoid  what  has  already  appeared  in 
I  ought  to  8;iy  that,  althou^fh  I 
I0d  my  ^rmdfuther  **an  American 
was  not,  strictly  speaking,  an  Aine- 
was  a  native  of  Cumberland  and  of  a 
I  family.  He  went,  however,  to  Ame- 
hbout  twenty  years  of  age,  settled  there, 


and  h.ul  the  Ke volution  not  compelled  him  to 
resign  his  living  and  leave  the  country,  there  can 
be  no  doubt  that  he  would  have  died  there. 
America  was,  therefore,  his  adopted  country,  and 
he  evidently,  so  long  m  he  lived  there,  regarded  it 
in  this  light. 

The  portions  of  his  autobiography  which  are  of 
general  interest  are  so  mixed  up  with  pei'sonal  and 
private  mattei'a  that  it  is  not  altogether  very  easy 
to  sepjiratc  the  former  from  the  latter.  This  will 
account  for  what  I  fear  musft  look  like  a  want  of 
connexion  in  my  extntcts. 

If  I  may  be  permitted  to  speak  in  terms  of 
praise  of  a  relative,  I  should  like  to  say  that  my 
grandfather  (I  never  knew  him,  as  he  died  many 
years  before  I  was  bom)  seems  to  have  been  a  man 
to  whom  Horace's  description  of  "jostum  et 
tenacem  propositi  virum,"  &c.,  was  peculiarly 
applicable.  No  threats  or  dangers  could  make  him 
flinch  for  a  single  moment  from  doing  what  he 
believed  to  be  hia  doty  j  and  had  his  lot  been  caat 
in  Paris  in  the  French,  instead  of  in  Maryland  in 
the  American,  Revolution,  1  am  satisfied  that  he 
would  have  defied  Fouquier  Tinville  to  hb  face, 
and  have  gone  to  the  giUllotine  quite  cheerfuUyan 
hour  afterwards.  I  am  the  more  disinterested  in 
speaking  in  these  terms  of  my  grandfather*3 
chamcter,  because  hia  politics  are  not  ray  own. 

My  first  extract,  although  not  referring  to 
Americ;i,  is  interesting  as  showing  both  the  cost 
of  living  in  a  distant  part  of  England  a  century 
and  a  quarter  ago,  and  the  great  plentifulness  of 
salmon  in  the  North  in  olden  days  :^ 

•*  It  WAS,  I  fancy,  only  beettuse  nothing  better  occurred, 
that  towardi  the  close  of  the  year  1765,  bent  on  leaving 
Wlgton,  I  went  to  Workington  in  order  to  learn  mathe- 
matict.  I  boarded  at  the  Kev.  3[r.  Bltion's,  who  wa^  to 
instruct  me ;  and  I  wai  to  pay  for  board  and  education 
at  the  rate  of  a  guinea  a  month.  Here  I  went  through 
all  the  praotical  branohu  of  navigation*  and  alio  land 
fnrreyinir,  io  which  I  had  roach  practico.  It  wai  an 
odd  combination,  and  eMmed  ominous  of  my  beinfr  after- 
wards to  eotiipA«s  land  and  «ea  in  quest  of  a  little  bread. 

"Thif  Mr,  HitBon  was  a  character,  and  thought  so 
even  in  a  pnrt  of  the  world  that  i?  fruitful  in  characters. 
Ifewaa  bred  a  shoemaker,  and  liadt  long  after  he  wns 
married,  worked  at  hii  trade  in  a  very  low  way  in  a  low 
village.  B»t  he  had  a  thinking  head,  and  a  strong  tuni 
to  mathamatical  inveltij^iitione.  And  baring  taught 
Idmfclf,  he  next  attempted  to  teach  otlieri.  Tliia  he  did 
with  such  success  and  reputation  that  at  forty  years  of 
B|fe  3Ir.  Stanley,  of  Workington,  garc  him  a  title,  and  he 
went  into  Orders.  Not  long  after,  he  wa»  appointed 
Bchoolmoeter  at  Workington  and  rai«i«ter  of  a  chapel  at 
Clifton,  both  of  whieli  together  did  not  bring  him  in

TiiB  jyeviL  ovERLOOKTjKi  LiNCOLK.— In  vol  i. 
of  thfi  CfenUcman's  Magaxinft  tinder  the  date  of 
Sept  V),  1731,  is  tlie  foUowiag  p:wsage  :— 

^Tha  fuaoxLt  Dftvil  that  nwdio  oittrloeh  lAwKAn 
CcOifft,  in  Oxford,  was  tiJien  'ilowi].  hMiug  al>out  tyro 
jnn  mnce  kit  hia  bead  in  a  Bt«nn.'- 

The  proverb  Kxsciirt  voi^  frequently  in  our  old 
writers.  In .  Fnllet'a  H^oYthia^  under  Oxford,  he 
says:— 

"Some  f^fcdh  ih«  ortgioal  of  this  pri^v^rb  from  a  ilone 
pictun  of  the  DfTilt  whieh  doth  o>  lately  did  overlook 
iiincoln  GoUedge.  Truelj  the  Architeet  iotended  it  no 
farther  tliaa  for  an  onUnu^r  Antick,  thoBi^h  bebolderi 
hare  Bince  applied  tboie  ug^  bfohs  to  envious  personi 

repiains  at  the  prosperity  of  their  neighbouri. To 

return  te  oar  Engliih  proverbi  it  is  conceived  of  more 
antiquity  than  either  of  the  foronarael  Ck)lledge«,  though 
the  Kcoadary  4ene0  thereof  lighted  not  unhappily,  and 
that  it  related  ortginuUy  to  the  Cathedral  Church  in 
Xiiocoln/' 

Under  **  Lincolnshire,"  Fuller  sa3r9  :— 

**  Lincoln  Minster  is  oiie  of  the  statellett  BtraetoreB  in 

Christendom.    The  Dlvel'lsthis  ma^k  of  maKce it 

grieves  him  whatever  is'gtVen  ib  God;  crying  out 

what  needs  this  waste,  ion  Vrhich  account  he  is  snppesed 

to  have  overlooked  this  Ohiircb with  a  torve  and 

tetrick  countenance,  as  maligning  men's  costly  devo- 
tion  " 

Nothing  definite  on  this  subject  could  be  learnt 
from  Lincoln  College,  tiiou^  there  are  six  ditferent 
interpretations,  none  q£  wliich  will  fit.  I  do  not 
XDyself  think  that  the  proverb  can  refer  to  Lincoln 
Cathedral,  as  there  ui  no  "  Divd  "  overlooking  it, 
though  there  is  one  carved  in  the  irdcrior. 

The  (|uestion  is  what  does  the  Anikh  mean? 
It  seems  to  be  connected  with  the  name  of  Lincoln, 
but  it  has  no  heraldic  bearing  widh  either  the  city, 
the  see,  or  the  college.

Covering  Clock-facbs.— You  niay  bo  inter- 
ested to  know  that  a  few  days  u^  a  very  public 
confirmation  occurred  of  a  curious  custom  that  has, 
I  am  well  aware,  been  noted  in  your  paper,  viz., 
the  face  of  a  clock  being  covered  on  the  death  of 
its  owner.  The  tiinopicce  in  question  is  on  the 
outside  of  the  house  {which  stands  at  an  angle  of 
Wiiijpole  Street),  nnd  was  covered  with  a  piece  of 
"white  paper,  inserted  trnder  the  face-covering  of 
^hiss.  Whether  the  clock  w^ils  also  stopped  I  do 
.not  know.  The  clock  is  over  a  jeweller's  and 
wntcluiuiker^s  doer.        D.  P^ilobjlvjs  Tukkeb.

the  curious  service  required  of.tlie  "Lords"  of

NOTES  AND  QUERIES, 


[5"*B.V.Jin«2l.':i 


rendered  "  God  the  Trinity  "  in  the  three  verses 
said  to  be  interpolated,  but  the  fitness  of  which  is 
manifest,  if  my  interpretation  be  accepted.— 

"  The  Father  of  an  infinite  majesty. 

**  Thine  honourable,  true,  and  only  Son. 

"  Also  die  Holy  Ghost,  the  Comforter." 
Immediately  afterwards,  of  course,  the  hymn  be- 
comes a  hymn  to  Jesus,  and  so  continues  to  the 
end. 

The  word  "  Thine,''  in  the  second  verse  of  the 
alleged  interpolation,  presents  no  real  dilHciilty. 
It  uMij  be  a  slight  irre<»ularity  of  construction. 
But,  as  the  Eternal  Father  is  the  "  Fons  et  orlj^o 
totiiis  divinitatis,"  there  is  nothinrt  unnatural  or 
strained  when  (ceiuing  to  address  the  '*  Unity  in 
Trinity")  we  begin  to  jiddross  the  "Trinity  in 
Unity,"  Person  by  Person  ;  if  addrcssinjr,  iirst,  the 
Father,  we  continue  (so  to  spetik)  to  address  Him 
still  when  we  turn  to  the  Son,  begotten  of  Him 
"  before  all  worlds,"  by  the  use  of  the  word  "Thine" 
of  the  hynm.  Indeed,  this  lanpcuage,  rij^htly  under- 
stood, seems  ever  to  help  us  to  bear  in  mind  that 
there  are  three  Persons,  yet  but  one  God. 

In  conclu."sion,  I  would  observe  tliat  the  tifth 
verse  is  decisive  against  Mr.  Hanijolph's  theory. 
If  the  whole  hymn  be  a  hymn  to  Christ,  then 
''  Chenibim  and  Seraphim  continually  do  cry ''  to 
(lirut,  "Holy,  Holy,  Holy,"  ix.  they  addreas 
r'hriit  as  if  He  were  '*  Ood  the  Trinity,"'  whicli  is

I  am  unite  aware  of  the  Hebrew  i«iiom  :  my 
"itiur"  was  for  those  who  know  Kn^lish  idiom's 
only.  "Pater  de  citiis  Deus,"  tmnslated  in  the 
Litany,  "0  God  the  Father,  of  hoavcu,"  is  almost 
nuivers:illy  said  or  sung  without  observance  of  the 
comma,  and  the  error  thus  propagated  is  tnins- 
ieired  to  popular  hymns,* 

St.  Jerome's  tranf^lation  of  "  abhi-njiradh  "  m  an 
" exoj^'csis '"  ;  il  detcnninos  the  "age''  n^  future. 
"  A g<»- Father'' or  "  Father-age"  conveys  no  dufi- 
rJte  idea  to  English  minds.  "  Father  of  the  age," 
i.e.  of  the  kingdom  of  ('hrist,  or  "Father  of  ages," 
i.e.  of  "  the  worhls,"  or  the  ages  of  creation,  does 
convey  an  intelligible  idea,  and  is  true  and  appli- 
cable to  "the  Son,''  one  of  whose  titles  it  is  in 
Isaiah  ix.,  and  used  there  alone  in  the  whole  scrip- 
ture. "  Father  of  Eternity  "  or  "  Father  Kiernal  " 
is  al-so  an  excgefcical  translation,  and  an  erroneous 
one. 

"  First,  second,  and  third,"  in  reference  to  the 
three  Persons,  are  modes  of  speech  accepted  and 
iHod  by  the  soundest  divines  ;  ofr^in  explained  and 
perfectly  understood  a-j  term'*  of  numerical  order 
only— not  of  nature.      Among   tho  ante-Nicene

father^  Jastin  Mttrtyr  so  speaks.  Oar  Lord  md, 
"  My  Father  is  gieftter  than  I,"  yet  in  the  Tm^ 
there  is  no  "greater  or  less."  *Arians  and  See- 
nians  seize  upon  the  words  for  their  bctctid 
purposes  ;  but  the  Greek  fathers  explain  Mhm  J 
one  way,  the  Latin  in  another,  and  both  awva 
are  true  and  sufficient. 

V.H.I.L.I.O.I.V.  is  inaccuiate.  I  did  ij(rf  ««?»

but  the  charge  here  is  merely  "  ad  invidisaL=  I 
omitted  the  line  quoted  by  V.H.I.L.I.C.LT. 
because  I  did  not  remember  it,  and  I  had  no  mh

derivation  of  hntttrftu  has  always  been  a  perpJesi^ 
problem  to  the  philologist.     The  second  eieca: 
in  the  word  is  of  course  clear  enough  both  in  Jca 
and  meauinj?,  and  the  form  of  the  first  elnaec:  is 
very  distinctly  exhibited  in  most   of  the  Tea*?i

hotcr-schijtfy    H.    Ger.    huttcT-jf Ugc,    hutUr-ry^^ 
hutt^r-schnt-:,  &c.    The  sole  difficulty  13  with  hi'-r- 
The  tempting  similarity  of  form,  i n stead  of  cwirJi 
suspicion,  has   led   the  mujority  of  inquirers  ** 
identify  the  term  with  tho  dair^'  product  of  ttf 
name—" hinc  illjv  lacriuife."   The  following: thrift' 
have  been  advanced.     Skinner  writes,  "note-: 
dictus  oh  Icvitntem  fere  butf^raccaiti  alarun\^y 
auimalculi,"  bec.-mse  its  wings  are  as  suuKtk*' 
butter.     An  earlier  authority,  Ivilian  {Etym.  .'.- 
LiHfj.f  lG(»o),  iuiagines  that  it  "was  so  calledb-i 
the  fact  that  its  excrement    resembled   hni:-'-} 
basing  his  theory  doubtless  upon  one  of  the  I -i 
names  mentioned  above.      And   this  theoH"  iai 
been  sanctioned  by  one  of  our  ablest  philo!<»:"-ts, 
Mr.  "VVedgwood.    Grimm  snggests  that  the  =a=? 
was  given,  "weil  man  ghiabte   das.s  Schmeitci-

Butter   stiihlcn,"   because  "  they,  or  witcb»  3 
their  shape,  stole  milk  and  batter."      AntT-ba 
theorist  would  explain  the  name  br  the  fav*  !T 
that  butterflies  are  of  the  colour  of  batter,  anJ  yj. 
another  because  the  insects  appear  at  the  t'jse 
when  butter  is  made.     All  these  theories  are  i^- 
both  by  the  philologist  and  the  lepidopterist  to !« 
eminently   unsatisfactory.       Your    correspondfst

XOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[5»=  S.  V.  JoiiiVTi 


Better  men  tkin  myself  have  left  tiiia  note  un- 
challenged, and  it  is  not  without  dilHdence  that  n 
niodeat  man,  scpiirated  from  his  books  as  I  am  at 
present,  dares  to  argue  a  point  of  grammar  with 
u  scholar  who  has,  in  the  same  brief  note,  shown 
where  Sophocles  and  Ver„'il  "  go  a  step  too  far,"  and 
who  (ignoring  "  abeunte  cuitu  ")  shrewdly  corrects 
Horace  for  saying  that  sunset  brings  evening. 

J.  H.  I.  Oaklet,  M.A. 

Leamington. 

SnAKi^rEAUE's  ME>'TroN  of  Chess  (1**  S.  x. 
516  ;  5**»  S.  V.  4TB.)— With  all  deference  to  the 
high  authority  of  the  late  5Ir.  Staunton,  with 
whom  I  was  for  many  years  in  the  constant  habit 
of  playing  ches:?,  and  often  conversed  with  on 
Shakspeariiin  .s«ljeot-«,  I  do  not  think  that  the 
ixossiige  from  Kiiig  John^  quoted  by  Jabez,  con- 
tains a  reference  to  the  g:«nie. 
"  Out,  insolent  !  thy  bastard  shall  bo  kin^ar. 

Thut  Uiuu  may'bt  be  a  queeu  and  check  the  worlJ/' 

to  my  mind  simply  implies  that  Constance,  armeil 
with  i)ower  derived  from  her  son  as  a  king  in  his 
minonty,  might  hold  the  world  in  check,  i.e.  curb 
or  control  it.  If  Shakspearc  intended  an  allusion 
to  chess  here,  tlic  simile,  I  may  remark,  would  be 
an  erroneous  one,  as  there  is  nothing  necessarily 
dangerous  or  harmful  ^'cr  sc  in  a  check  at  chess, 
which  i^  merely  an  attack  on  the  king  by  an  ad- 
verse piece,  compelling  him  either  to  move  or  to 
ward  it  oil  by  the  interposition  of  one  of  his  own 
pieces.*  If  Sb;»k:?peare  had  written  "checkma/t; 
the  world,"  tlicre  could  have  been  no  possible 
doubt  a*  to  lii?5  meaning.  The  concurrence  of  the 
two  chess  term -».  "queen"  and  "check,"  in  the 
passage  in  question  I  consider  to  be  fortuitous, 
and  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  Mr.  Staunton, 
when  ho  pronounced  the  said  passage  to  have  a 
1  elation  to  cln.5-s,  had  not  thoroughly  considered 
the  matter,  but  was  caught  by  the  f.iK-ciouf.  con- 
junction of  these  two  wor<ls.
