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 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

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

We  also  ask  that  you: 

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

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

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

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

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

and  tfie  Gardens  have  been  carefully 
preservotJ,  and  prof^ressivo  tawle  in  the 
culture  and  arrannement  of  flowers  and 
shrubs  (especially  of  the  sumptuous  rhododen- 
dron) has  greatly  enhanced  their  beauty.  A 
great  work  here  has  been  the  rectification  of 
the  Serpentine,  the  necessary  complement  of 
the  landscape.  Its  existence  has  not  been 
happy.  Made  for  pleasure  and  ornament  by 
Queen  Caroline  in  1730,  it  bad  nevertheless 
become  the  filth  deposit  of  adi'jtrict  of  grow- 
ing London.  The  polluted  West  Bourn  was 
long  sufl'ered  to  brin>?  down  the  tiew^l^e,  and 
although  the  evil  stream  bad  been  diverted

beauty  of  I^ondon— finally  shut  ofl'  all  .sewer

until  ten  years  later  (1870)  were  the  clean- 
ing, deepening,  and  shaping  of  the  lako 
effected.  And  al though  its  present  supply  of 
water  from  well*i  and  surface  drainage,  and 
occasionally  from  the  metro]iolitan  system, 
iit  not  generous,  we  have  now  a  handsome 
lake.  Green  Park  and  St.  James's,  as 
the  Rfttellites  of  Hyde  Park,  have  sliared 
in  the  advatice  of  eniiglitened  cultuie. 
Regent'a  Park  and  the  much  loved  "Zoo" 
have  also  progressed  ;  and  in  the  more  modern 
Ijondon  the  old,  wholesome  example  has  been 
followe<l  in  the  making  of  Victoria,  Halter- 
sea,  and  several  minor  parks.  Not  only  this, 
but  every  green  and  common  has  become  a 
pleasaunce  :  and  the  grand  old  squares  are 
more  carefully  tended,  their  green  lawna  and 
noble  trees  (wonderful  in  the  !ieart  of  Ixm-

and  wet  weather  we  sometimes  find  depressing.

churches  of  revived  Gothic  in  the  recollection 
of  the  writer  *va3  St.  M&tthew'a  in  the  City 
Road,  not  very  far  from  tiie  "Angel"  at 
Islington,  a  pleasanter  quarter  Ihen  than 
now.  Holy  Trinity,  Paddington,  ia  also 
reraerabered  as  a  brand-new  churcii  in  1849. 
St,  Mary  Abbot's  at  Kensington  ia  one  of  tlie 
raoat  important  exam  pies,  and  were  it  but  old, 
and  perhaps  less  obscure*!  by  ataiued  glass,  it 
would  command  muchadmiration.  TheGothic 
revival  has  been  maintained  through  nearly 
Uie  sixty  years,  its  last  achievement  being 
tlie  re-edification  of  the  greater  part  of  St. 
Mary's  Overie,  Southwark,  which  has  become 
a  twentieth-century  cathedral— a  fine  work 
in  our  day,  yet  small  in  contrast  with  the 
mighty  churches  of  old.  And  here  must 
have  mention  the  constant  sustentation  work 
at  the  Abbey,  especially  the  facial  restoration 
of  the  north  transept,  the  merit  of  which  ia 
perhaps  generally  allowed,  though  it  would  be 
vain  to  expect  unanimous  approval.  On 
St.  Paul's,  internally,  elalx>rate  and  costly 
art  has  been  bestowed,  and  new,  sweet  bells 
ring  from  its  belfry.  Also  much  redemp- 
tion work  has  been  done  on  our  one  great 
Norman  fragment,  St.  Bartholomew's. 

The  Gothic  art  has  not  been  employed  on 
churches  alone  ;  it  has  been  frequently 
applied  to  secular  buildings,  and  if  its  success 
be  questionable,  the  doubt  seems  to  affect 
only  the  interior  adaptability  to  motlern  use. 
We  are  now  mainly  concerned  with  the 
external  beauU'  imparted  to  London,  and 
find  great  satisfaction  in  these  Gothic  acqui- 
sitions. Tlie  Houses  of  Parliament  were 
building  in  the  forties  and  some  years  later  ; 
they  are  certaiuiy  Ijeautiful.  Fault -finding 
is  always  easy,  especially  when  architecture 
is  concerned  ;  here  the  main  body  of  the 
building  has  ueen  thougbt  deficient  in  pro- 
portion, and  overwrought  with  repeated 
ornament.  But  if  this  be  the  fault,  it  is 
redeemed  by  the  noble  towers,  especially 
the  Victoria  Tower,  the  stately  magnitude 
and  grace  of  which  render  it  unrivalled 
throughout  the  world. 

Next  we  are  reminded  of  the  removal 
of  the  comparatively  modern  buildings  of 
the  Courts  of  Justice,  now  transposed  to 
another  site,  whither  we  will  presently 
follow  them,  observing  here  the  opening  of 
space  and  the  revelation  of  old  Westminster 
Hall,  the  famous  beauty  of  which,  however, 
is  internal.  At  Westminster  block  after 
block  of  grand  Government  buildings  has 
been  raised,  and  still  they  are  far  from 
completion.  Projects  have  but  slowly  pro- 
gressed in  a  city  where  energy  and  industry 
have   enormously^      '  ^Dced    the    value    of 


ground,  and  where  justice  to  the  full  must 
recognize  individual  rights.  Thus,  we  had 
almost  despaired  of  thelong-projected  widen- 
ing of  Parliament  Street,  out  now,  aa  an 
accomplished  fact,  it  has  become  the  fitting 
avenue  of  the  truly  imperial  quarter  of 
London.  The  earliest  block,  the  Treasury 
OHicea  at  Whitehall,  was  the  work  of  the 
forties.  This,  indeed,  was  not  much  more 
than  a  new  front  to  an  old  building  ;  it  waa 
and  is  handsome  classic  work,  but  scale  has 
greatly  increased,  and  this  block  has  become 
dwarfed  by  later  buildings  of  greater  propor- 
tions. The  Home,  Colonial,  Foreign,  and 
India  Offices  form  a  splendid  group,  which 
happily  on  one  side  presents  itself  to 
St.  James's  Park,  and  thence  makes  a  very 
charming  picture.  The  great  War  Office  block, 
raised  in  front  of  the  comparatively  insignifi- 
cant, butstillappreciated  Horse  Guards, is  now 
outwardly  completed.  The  Admiralty  still 
turns  a  stately  though  gloomy  visage  towards 
the  street ;  but  large  and  handsome  addi- 
tions have  been  made  on  the  Park  side. 
Another  immense  block  of  buildings  is  rising 
with  faces  towards  the  Abbey  and  Parliament 
Street,  and  we  wait  with  unfailing  interest 
the  full  realization  of  this  magnificent  seat  of 
Government. 

Westraiaater  must  not  be  left  without 
observing  from  the  fine  bridge  acrosi  the 
river  the  eight  handsome  divisions  of 
St.  Thomas's  Hospital,  a  very  noticeable  addi- 
tion to  the  beauty  of  London.  Tiienew  poUce 
quarters  on  the  Westminster  bank  are  also 
important,  though  le.ss  admired.  And  along 
the  Embankment  (noticed  in  ray  previous 
communication)  have  risen  the  fine  build- 
ings of  the  London  School  Board— now  the 
London  County  Council's  Educational  Otiice« 
— tlifs  Ttiames  Conservancy,  the  City  of 
London  School,  and  others.

SIR  THOMAS   NEVILL.   1503-82. 

Sir  Thomas  was  the  third  son  of  Richard. 
Lord  Latimer,  who  died  1531,  and  uncle  of 
tlie  last  lord,  who  died  1577.  He  and  his 
younger  brother  Marmarluke  married  Maria 
and  Elizabeth,  two  of  the  four  dauu;htors  and 
coheiresses  of  Sir  Thomas  Tej',  of  Bright  well 
Hall,  SulTolk,  and  Pigott's  Ardlcy,  Essex. 

Morant's  account  of  him  (apparently  taken 
from  Harl.  MS.  3882)  is  full  of  groaa  in- 
accuracies, which  it  may  be  well  to  correct. 
His  history  is  of  interest,  as,  if  any  uiale 
descendant  remains,  he  M-ould   be  the  heir

male  of  tLe  house  of  Nevill.  Morant, 
(Jhanncy.  aud  Drummorid  give  tlie  Nevilla  of 
llidgewell,  Essex,  as  descendants  ;  but  I 
ha ve,under  tlie  heading '  Crom  well  Fleetwood ' 
(10"'  S.  iv.  74),  g;ivea  reasons  for  lliinking 
that  this  descent  is  open  to  grave  doubt. 

There  were  about  this  time  so  many  Sir 
Thomas  Xevills  of  diflPerent  fainilies,  tiiat.it 
is  most  ditticult  to  distinguish  l>etween  them. 
For  instance,  1540,  the  dategiven  by  Morant 
for  the  death  of  this  Sir  Thomas,  is  really 
that  of  his  father-in-law  Sir  Thomas  Tey  ; 
there  ha^  evidently  been  a  confusion  of  notes 
which  has  been  slavishly  copied. 

TheTijomas  whose  I.  P.M.  of  1WJ2  Morant 
also  refers  to,  as  that  of  the  son  and  heir  of 
our  Sir  Tliomas,  was  Thomas  Nevill  of  Stock 
Harvard,  Essex,  who  married  Rebecca, 
daughter  of  Gyles  Allen,  of  Hazoleigli.  He 
was  son  of  Hugh  Nevill  of  Kamsden  Belhouse, 
wljose  will  was  proved  in  1G03  (Com.  Essex) 
as  of  Brightlingsea. 

Sir  Thomas  Nevill  of  Mercworth,  Speaker 
of  the  House  of  Commons  and  brother  of 
Lord  Abergavenny,  died  in  154.3.  The 
'  D.N. D.' says  that  his  first  wife  was  Elizabeth, 
widow  of  Robert  Amadae,  a  member  of 
the  firm  of  goldsmiths  to  Henry  VIII. 
TIjis  marriage  took  place  in  the  chapel 
of  Jenkins  Manor  at  Barking,  Essex,  on 
SS  August,  1532  ;  but  it  was  certainly  not 
the  first  marriage  of  this  Sir  Thomas,  as  a 
monument  to  Tiis  daughter  Margaret  in 
Widial  Church  (Lipscomb's  'Bucks,*  iii.  474) 
states  that  she  was  born  in  ir>-25,  and  was 
the  daughter  of  Katheryno,  daughter  of  Lord 
Dacre.  This  lady,  who  is  barie<l  at  Narden, 
in  Kent,  and  there  called  Elizabeth  Dakcr, 
is  the  only  wife  generally  given  to  Sir 
Thomas.  The  subject  of  this  notice  may 
quite  posaibly^  have  oeen  the  bridegroom. 

There  was  also  a  Sir  Thomas,  second  son  of 
Ralph,  fourth  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  of  whom 
there  are  no  particulars  in  the  genealogies. 
He  was  probably  the  Sir  Thomas  Nevill, 
K.B.,whodied  in ir>46(Musgrave'a' Obituary'). 
He  may,  however,  have  been  the  Sir  Thomas 
Nevill  who  on  5  November,  1544,  married 
Frances  Amiel,  widow,  at  Bramfield,  Suffolk. 
She  was  probably  tlie  Frances  Hopton  who 
in  the  visitation   of  Suffolk,  1561,   p.  44,   is 

Hftid  to  have  marrietl  first Jeroin>/e  (sn')  ; 

secondly.  Sir  Thomas  Nevill  of  Yorkshire  ; 
and  thirdly  (p.  19'^)  theson  of  William  Hovell, 
of  Ashfieln.  Suffolk.  The  Jeromt/e  is  a  sub- 
seciuent  additiou,  and  should  probably  have 
been  Jermye,  the  name  of  a  well  -  known 
Suffolk  family.  The  herald  must  have  made 
tk  mistake,  or  there  were  two  previous 
marriages,  or  possibly  the  Amiel  ia  a  mis- 


reading of  the  register.  A  Chancery  suit  of 
1561-2,  Thomas  Nevyll,  knt..  r.  Arthur  Rob- 
sarte,  Esq.,  shows  that  the  marriage  was  not 
happy,  as  Sir  Thomas  sues  for  the  return  of 
a  bond  of  1,000/.  which  he  had  given  as 
security  that  he  would  not "  beat  or  vex  "  his 
wife  on  condition  that  she  behaved  well ;  he 
asserts  that  »be  bad  misbehaved  several 
times. 

Sir  Thoraa.s  of  the  Westmoreland  family  is 
not  mentioned  in  the  rebellion  of  15G9,  aud 
had  probably  died  previously. 

Thomas  Nevill  (jf  Holt,  Leicestershire,  was 
knighted  by  Somerset  iu  1543  on  the  Scotch 
campaign  ;  it  was  his  heiress  who  married 
Tiiomas  Smyth,  of  Crossing  Temple,  wha 
took  the  name  of  Nevill. 

Maria  Tey,  who  must  have  been  married 
by  1536,  died  in  1544,  according  to  the 
LRM.  of  37  Henry  VIII.  (1545),  which 
names  Ootober  of  the  preceding  year  as  the 
date  of  her  death,  and  states  that  Tiiomaa, 
lier  son  and  heir,  is  aged  nine.  Morant  says 
that  she  died  in  October,  1544,  and  was 
buried  at  Ardleigh  ;  but  in  view  of  the 
mistake  already  mentioned  this  requires  con- 
firmation. He  also  states  that  in  1552 
Thomas  Nevill  held  the  manor  of  Listen  hall, 
in  Gosfiold,  of  the  Earl  of  Oxford.  In  the 
parish  register  of  Gosfield  is  the  burial  of 
Maria  Nevill  on  19  Oct.,  1544,  and  also  the 
birth  of  Ann  Nevill,  1543.  In  1558  the 
manor  was  in  other  hands, 

There  was  about  IWO  a  Thomas  Nevill,  a 
substantial  yeoman,  at  Gosfield,  which  adjoins 
Halstead,  where  the  ancestors  of  the  Kidge- 
well  family  lived ;  his  will  (Arch.  Essex, 
Bushen  3)  was  proved  in  1622.  He  may  bo 
identical  with  the  Thomas  Nevill  of  Abbess 
Roding,  a  neiglibouring  parish,  who  paid  sub- 
sidy there  in  1565,  and  at  Foisted  in  1571  : 
he  probably  belonged  to  a  family  of  Willing- 
ale  and  Fifield  of  whom  there  are  recordu- 
back  to  1522  :  they  intermarried  with  a 
branch  of  the  Jocelyns. 

Sir  Thomas,  then  called  of  Aldham,  was  in- 
political  trouble  in  1537  (Dom.  Stato  Papers, 
vol.  xii.  part  ii.  242),  when  his  brother 
Marmaduko  was  committed  to  the  Tower.  I 
have  not  been  able  to  find  what  happened  to 
Sir  Thomas,  but  it  is  unlikely  that  he  escaped 
Cromwell  without  serious  fine,  which  may 
account  for  the  little  show  he  made  in  after 
years.  He  paid  subsidy  in  1549  and  1553. 
Hi!*brother,Ix>rd  Latimer, ha<l  been  implicated' 
in  the  first  rising  in  Yorkshire,  which  was 
pardoned  in  December,  1536 ;  he  made  his 
peace,  and  kept  out  of  that  of  the  ensuing 
February.  Sir  Thomas's  sister  was  married' 
to  Francis  Norton,  the  prime  mover  of  the- 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES.        vo^  s.  v.  Jas  «  im 


rebellion  of  15C9.;  but  I  know  of  no  record 
of  our  Sir  Thomas  among  those  implicated. 

Two  daughters  of  Sir  Thomaji  are  recorded 
in  the  Viiiiation  of  Essex  of  ISSS:  Frances, 
married  to  Edmund  Lucas,  and  afterwards 
successively  to  Bingliam  and  Adaracs  ;  and 

,  married  to  Sir  Humphrey  WingBeld,  of 

Brantham  («ihe  it  called  Elizabeth  in  the 
Suffolk  Visitation  of  1501).  IJoth  are 
<ie«cribefl  as  daughters  and  heiresses. 

No  mention  U  anywhere  made  of  the 
Thomas  who  wan  nine  in  1545,  ao  that  he 
probably  died  early. 

Dy  a  deed  in  Close  Rolls,  2  Eliz  ,  part  xii. 
No.  It;  (15S9),  Sir  Thomas  made  over  to 
Edmund  Lucaa  all  his  property,  including  a 
leasehold  house  he  had  bought  in  HollRirn 
«nd  an  estate  he  had  bought  at  Clifton 
Reynes,  in  Bedfordshire.  This  was  for 
various  consitlerations  and  in  settlement  of 
all  claims  in  dispute  According  to  Morant, 
Pigotfs  Ardley  was  in  the  hands  of  tlie 
<Jardinall  family  in  l.')CS.  It  is  po>4sibIe  that 
Sir  Thomas  meditated  takitig  part  with 
Norton,  and  took  the  usual  steps  to  secure 
his  property. 

I  nave  not  been  ahle  to  trace  his  further 
career,  except  that  lie  died,  aged  seventy- 
nine,  on  2  May,  1582,  and  was  buried  at 
Orantcheater,  Cambridge,  on  14  May  ;  tiie 
entry  in  the  register  records  his  descent.  By 
bis  will  (F.C.C.  Tirwhite  2(i)  he  leaves  every- 
thing to  his  wife  Isabel,  but  there  is  no 
mention  of  any  property.  Dame  Isabel  by 
will  (P  C.U  2  Windsor,  1585)  leaves  various 
e8t«tos>  that  she  liad  bought,  to  the  chililron 
of  her  former  husband  Edward  Weldon. 

Sir  Thomas  is  certain  to  have  followed  the 
custom  of  the  time  and  married  quickly  after 
the  death  of  Maria  Tey  ;  ib  seems  certain 
that  Isabel  was  a  wife  of  his  ol<l  age,  and 
probaljly  the  third  wife.  It  is  quite  i>0Hsible 
that  Sir  Thomas  may  have  had  a  family  h3' 
a  second  wife,  and  that  the  Thomas,  ancestor 
of  the  llidgewell  family,  may  have  been  a 
sun  of  this  marriage. 

There  did  appear  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
HaUtead  about  this  time  several  Nevills  who 
made  marriages  of  some  importance,  and 
whom  I  cannot  yet  connect  with  other  Essex 
Xevills,  unless  in  the  manner  already  sug- 
gested, which  might,  indeed,  be  part  of  the 
pedigree  from  Hugh  of  the  Lion  mentioned 
under  tlie  heading  of  Cromwell  Fleetwood 
already  referrt'd  to. 

The  existence  of  a  second  family  of  Sir 
Thomas,  who  would  have  no  interest  in  the 
Toy  estates  and  little  inlieritance  from  tlieir 
father,  would  very  well  account  for  the  lial- 
stead  family.    A«  the  I!ii'u'"«'ll  family  iiad, 


rightly  or  wrongly,  already  established  a 
connexion  M-ith  Hugh  Nevill  of  liie  Lion, 
and  had  used  Jiis  arms,  there  was  no  great 
temptation  to  discard  that  in  favour  of 
an  unfounded  claim  from  a  well  -  known 
man  who  hat!  only  been  dead  a  little 
over  a  hundred  years.  Holman,  on  whose 
researches  Morant's  history  is  largely 
founded,  was  rector  of  Halstead  about  1710 
to  17.30,  and  may  liave.  at  this  time,  mado 
the  discovery  that  induced  John  of  llidge- 
well to  throw  over  the  pedigree  and  arms 
assumed  by  his  great-uncle  George  of  Berk- 
hampstead,  and  carved  upon  his  monument. 

I  have  notes  of  several  generations  of  otiier 
descendants  of  John  Nevill  of  Halstead,  the 
ancestor  of  the  Ridge«ell  family  ;  from  them 
it  does  not  seem  likely  that  these  branches 
die<i  out.  as  stated  in  Harl.  MS.  3882.  1  shall

Ax  Earuer  CiiAKLKs  Lamjj.— in  Ame-

Lamb,  as  presumably  a  champion  ofchiinney- 
sweepera,  a  hundrecl  years  and  more  before 
the  Charles  Lamb  whom  we  know  came  for- 
ward to  write  those  black  imn«'  praise.  The 
book  is  'Tho  Scourge:  in  Vindication  of 
tho  Church  of  England,'  by  T.  L.  (Thoma» 
Lewis),  first  published  iu  1717,  and  again  in 
1720.  On  p.  271  of  tho  1717  edition,  and  on 
p.  205  of  the  1720  edition,  as  a  corroborative 
search  at  the  British  Museum  reveals,  is  this 
sentence  in  a  letter  dated  **  Button's,  Sunday,

"Well,  I  shall  live  to  be  reveng'd  of  all  th»

Zouave  Unifokm.  —  What  M.  P.  says  of 
German  duelling  (10""  S.  iv.  388)  reminds  me 
of  the  military  uniform  of  the  Zouaves— the 
light  infantry  in  the  French  army.  They 
wore  baggy  trousers,  which  were  drawn  iu 
at  and  lied  about  the  ankles ;  and  at  the 
bottom  tliey  were  joined  together  so  near  the 
ankles  that  they  difl  not  allow  a  man  to- 
take  the  regimental  stride.  It  immediately 
occurred  to  tho  new  man  that  he  must  slit 
them  up  a  bit  so  that  he  Could  walk  properly. 
Hia  <j|iier  comrades  lold  him  he  would  get 
"  huit  jours  "if  he  did.  On  the  other  hand, 
if  lie  wanted  to  walk  there  was  nothing  to 
be  done  but  slit  them  un  a  few  inches,  which 
he  accordingly  did,    Tlie  otiicer  came  alow^j.

what  he  knew  must  take  place.  Nevertheless 
the  usual  question  was  asked,  VVtiat  have 
yon  done  this  for  ]  and  the  usual  reply  was 
given,  but  without  avail.  The  expected  sen- 
tence was  pronounced,  "  huit  jours de  prison." 
Having  served  his  term,  the  man  was  not 
required  to  sew  the  parts  up  again,  but  was 
allowed  to  keep  his  bags  in  walkable  condi- 
tion. I  was  told  this  uianjr  years  ago  by  a 
Zouave  who  had  won  4,030/.  ma  State  lottery, 
and  had  consequently  given  up  soldiering.

"PfiETTY  Maids'  Money."  —  The  following 
extract  from  The  C'/niUh  and  T>evon  Post 
(Launceston)  of  15  July,  1905,  records  a  cere- 
mony which  seems  worth  noting  :  —

"HoosHTAB."— This  word  seems  to  be  one 
of  the  most  recent  importations  into  English. 
A  friend  who  has  lately  returned  from 
Westralia  usc!^ it  upon  every  possible  occa- 
sion, both  as  iutorjoction  and  verb.  He  tells 
me  it  is  really  a  cry  of  the  Afghan  camel- 
drivers,  of  whom  there  are  many  on  the  gold- 
fields.  I  have  just  come  upon  the  following 
quotation  in  an  Australian  novel,  'True 
Eyes,'  by  Randolph  Bedford,  1903,  p.  295  : 
"So  the  camel  was  '  hooshtahed  '  down  and 
strapped,  after  she  had  groand  the  dust 
under  her  chest  -  pad  into  the  shape  of 
comfort,  and  so  left  to  the  enjoyment  of  the 
quandong."  Jas.  Flatt,  Jun. 

Tjie  Metropolitan  Railway.— The  recent 
important  chaugei  on  this  much  -  abused 
railway  aiTord  a  pleasant  contrast  with  its 
many  years  of  perennial  grime  and  amoke- 
satu rated  tunnels.  There  is  an  excellent 
description  of  its  earliest  years  in  a  little 
collection  of  papers  on  liondon  subjlcts, 
entitled  'Trifles,'  by  Edwin  Ttley,  London, 
1864, 

The  writer  on  18  June  travelled  from 
FarringdoD  Street  to  Hammersmith  five  days 


after  this  portion  of  the  line  had  been  opened. 
After  leaving  Bishop's  Road 
"  we  wore  no  longer  in  the  dark,  but  in  a  clear  and 
healthy  atmosphere,  travelling  in  comfort,  and 
even  luxuriously.  The  line  tra verves  an  extrennely 
pleasant  country.  At  first  we  had  brickfields  ou 
our  left,  and  uew-inown  hay  and  broad  green 
nieadowa  on  our  right.  The  change  from  '  under- 
ground' to  daylight  and  sunshine,  from  impure 
air  into  a  sweet-scenteil  and   invigorating  atmo- 

uphere,  was  really  delightful We  were  left  aloite 

in  our  lofty  and  spacious  carriage,  and  had  the 
privilege  of  walking  about  iu  it  and  viewing  the 
country ;  and  it  was  ail  country,  and  looked 
charming." 

Evidently  the  "  privilege  of  walking  about" 
was  not  restrictea  by  the  necessity  of  having 
to  hang  on  to  a  .strap,     Aleck  Abrahams.

Cecil  Family.  (See  fi'^  S.  vii.  384  ;  viii. 
69;  xi.  69:  7""  S.  xii.  144.)-At  the  above 
places  thedescent  of  the  great  Lord  Burghley 
from  the  Sitsilts  of  Alterynnya,  believed  ia 
by  himself— see  the  document  reproduced  in 
Nares's  *  Memoirs,'  vol.  i.  p.  8— is  disputed, 
and  it  is  suggested  that  he  was  descended 
from  a  Vorkshire  family  named  Cecill. 
Stress  is  laid  {6'"  S.  vii.  384)  on  the  use  uf 
the  spelling  "Cecill"  by  Lord  Burghley  and 
his  father  and  grandfatlier.  I  ihinlt  some 
light  is  thrown  on  the  question  by  the  will 
<P.C.C.  13  Adeane)of  Sir  David  Philipp,  Knt, 
dated  2.'>  September,  and  proved  lODecomber, 
l5tXi.  The  testator  is  buried  at  Stamford, 
but  he  mentions  "Dewlew,"  to  the  ummI  of 
which  he  gives  a  legacy  ;  and  this  may  be 
Dulus,  Dewlas,  or  Dulace,  a  few  miles  froui 
Altervnnys.  But  a  more  certain  point  is 
that  Lord  Burghley's  grandfather  David  in 
named  as  an  executor,  being  the  only 
executor  who  prove<l  ;  and  a  legacv  is  left  to 
him  as  a  godson  of  tho  testator,  unless  (which 
is,  of  course,  possible)  the  godson  was  David's 
son  David.  In  all  cases  the  name  is  spelt 
Seysyll,  Scisseld,  or  ScLssilde,  never  Cecill. 
Agnss  Scisseld  is  also  mentioned,  and  the 
following  clearly  Welsh  names  occur :  Jane 
ap  Rosser  (legacy),  Hugh  Edwards  (exe- 
cutor), Sir  John  LandafT  (witness).  Soma 
conclusion  might  be  drawn  from  the  prov 
nance  of  Sir  David  Philipp  him-self,  if  thai 
be  known.  If  he  lived  in  early  life  noai 
Alterynnys,  and  if  David  Cecill,  senior,  w:

the  godchild,  then  the  l&tter  wa«  probably 
born  there,  for  Sir  David  I'hilipp's  connexion 
with  ijtamford  seems  to  have  been  due  to 
marriage,  and  David  Cecil],  senior,  must  have 
been  thirty  to  forty  years  old  in  1506.

Ben*  JoNsos'a  WonKs,  1616.— Old  errors  die 
hard,  and  among  them  is  the  belief  that  the 
1616  folio  of  Ben  Jonson  contained  the  por- 
trait of  the  poet  by  Vaughan.  I  am  reminded 
of  this  by  the  words  "  no  portrait "  added  to 
the  record  of  a  sale  of  this  volume,  together 
with  the  posthumous  second  volume,  in  The 
Athtiufuin  of  9  December.  On  this  subject 
the  lat^e  Mr.  George  Bullen,  of  the  British 
Museum,  wrote  to  me  in  1879  as  follows  : — 

"  \V«  have  two  conifi*  of  Ben  Jonaon,  1616,  fol. : 
one  ia  the  General  Library,  and  one  in  the  Greii- 
ville.  The  former  h&a  no  ]>ortrait :  the  latter  has 
one  by  Vaughan,  the  same  tliat  appears  irt  the 
1610  enition.  Mr.  (irenville  in  a  note  stateii  '  1  iiave 
added  to  my  cotiy  the  liead  bv^  Vaughan.'  Now 
Vaiiehan,  according  to  Nailer,  'Kiiiistler  Lexikon,' 
wai  born  in  1600.  so  that  it  iH  scarcely  probable  he 
could  have  done  tbiii  portrait  in  1616.

Cardinals'  Pillars.— In  Nare«'s  'Glos- 
sary,'e«lited  by  Halliwell  and  Wright,  occurs 
the  statement : — 

"  Ornamentcti  inlUra  were  formerly  carried  before 
*  cardinal,  and  Wolsey  wtu  remarkable  foV  keeping 
up  thia  piece  of  atAte.  In  the  stoze  directions  for 
,lU8  solemn  entry  in  the  play  of '  Henry  Vlil,'  it  ia 
■aid. 'then  two  Kentlemen  bearing  two  great  silver 
pillars.'  This  waa  from  anthentic  history.  He  is 
KG  described  by  Holioitshed  and  other  historians. 
Cavendish,  hia  biographer,  speaks  of  liiese  silver 
pillars,  and  of  his  cross-bearers  and  pillar-bearers. 
^Iielton  satirically  describea  him  as  going  preceded 
by  two  croBi-bearer?  :— 

After  them  followe  two  laye-men  secular 
And  eche  of  theym  holdyng  a  pillar 
In  their  hantieR,  steado  of  a  imice. 
These  jiillara  were  supnoseil   to  be  emblematical  of 
the  Support  given  by   the  cardinals  to  the  Church." 

This  account  of  Narea  is  responsible  for  a 
sense  of  the  word  pillar  introduced  in  some 
jaaodern  dictionaries  (chiefly  of  American 
ithorship),  "a  portable  ornamental  column 
_  jrmerly  carried  before  cardinals,  as  em- 
1}leniatic  of  his  support  to  the  Church." 

No  authority,   however,  is  cited  for  this 
[eoeral  use,  nor  have  las  yet  found  any  refer- 
ICO  to  pillars  borne  before  cardinals,  except 
thin  case  of  Wolaey.    Can  any  reader  of 


*X.  ii  Q. 'direct  mo  to  any  other  source  in 
which  the  alleged  practice  is  referred  to  or 
described  1  A  historical  student  to  whom  I 
have  applied  is  unable  to  answer  the  question, 
but  says  that  it  is  the  practice  at  Hume  (in 
"  correct "  or  Black  househol<l8)for  a  cardinal 
to  be  received  by  two  manservants  bearing 
torches,  and  to  lie  preceded  by  them 
to  the  reception-room.  He  suggests  that 
the  two  pillars  borne  before  Wolsey 
were  merely  two  silver  candlesticks.  _  But 
this  would  evidently  be  quite  at  variance 
with  the  notion  of  Nares  as  to  what  the 
"  pillars"  symbolized.  I  should  be  very  glad 
of  any  communications  hearing  upon  the  sub- 
ject, and  if  writers  will,  to  save  time,  send 
them  to  me  direct  (address  Dr.  Murray, 
Oxford),  I  will  forward  them  to  the  Editor 
of  '  N.  4  Q.'  J.  A.  H.  Murray.

Scott  and  Carey  :    Scott  in  Ireland.— 
Can  any  reader  remind  me  where  Sir  W.  Scott 
quotes  the  first  two  lines  of  Carey's  play  :— 
Aldiborontephoscopiiornio, 
Where  left  you  GhrononhononthologosT 
That  he  was  familiar  with  the  play  we  know 
from  the  motto  prefixed  to  tlie  first  chapter 
of  'The  Antiquary,'  and  by  his    nicknames 
for  the   two  Ballautynes  (Lockhart,  vol.  ii, 
chap,  vi.,  near  beginning).    But  I  think  ho 
also  somewhere  quotes  the  above  lines- 

I  have  a  further  question  to  ask.  In  Carey's 
play  the  above  lines  are  spoken  by  Kicdum- 
Funnidos  (so  spelt  by  Carey),  ana  the 
pompous  gentleman,  whom  for  shortness  we 
may  call  Aid.,  thus  replies  : — 

Fatigu'd  with  the  tremendous  toils  of  war, 
Wiihin  his  tent,  on  downy  couch  succumbent. 
Himself  lie  unfatiguea  with  gentle  slumbers. 

Now,  in  a  family  closely  connected  with 
Scott's  early  friends  John  and  Alexander

?iirt  of  tiie  play.  Dul  Scott  invent  them  1 
'amiiy  tradition  sa.yH  that  tlie  tliree  friends 
were  in  the  habit  of  making  up  and 
"spouting"  queer  rimes  of  all  kinds,  and  I 
incline  to  tiiink  that  this  was  one  of  them. 
Unless  another  origin  can  bo  pointed  out  for 
these  lines,  I  Hhall  conclude  that  we  have  in 
them  a  trouvaille  from  Scott's  young  days, 
probably  made  by  him,  and  at  any  rate  often 
on  hia  lips. 

I  may  add  that  the  same  family  tradition 
tells  that  Scott  and  his  two  friends,  in  tlieir 
college  day-j,  made  a  trip  to  the  north  of 
Ireland,  cro!*>»ing  from  Galloway  ;  that  there 
Scott  usually  rode  while  his  companionH 
walked  ;  that  the  trip  was  cut  short  for  some 
unknown  reason  ;  and  that  a  riming  account 
of  it  was  pi-esorved  by  John  Irving,  though 
it  has  long  since  disappeared.  Tiiis  excursion 
is  not  mentioned  by  Lock  hart,  nor,  so  far  as 
I  know,  by  any  other  chronicler  of  Scott's 
life.  To  many  of  us  every  triHe  connected 
with  the  Great  Magician  is  of  value,  so  I 
make  no  apology  for  mentioning  those.

an  explanation  of  the  origin  and  early  mean-

expression  applietl  to  an  active  fellow  who 
creates  disturbances  out  of  a  pure  love  of 
mischief  f  That  is  to  say,  it  was  comunon 
enough  in  New  England  naif  a  century,  or 
more,  ago-  It  signified  a  sort  of  harmless,

has  it  ever  obtained  there?

Monumental  BBAfisES  tn  the  Mevjiick 
Collection.  —  Sawbridgeworlh  Cliurch,  iu 
common  with  many  others  in  Hertfordshire, 
has  suffered  the  loss  of  many  monumental 
brasses,  some  of  which  are  in  the  Saffron 
Walden  Museum,  and  others,  apparently, 
were  in  the  Meyrick  collection. 

Haines  informs  us  (under  Sawbridgeworlh) 
that  "a  brass  of  a  man  in  armour,  about 
1480,  is  at  Goodrich  Court,  Herefordshire." 
"Tilts  probably  represents  John  Chauucy, 
whose  ettigy  is  missing  from  its  matrix. 

Cussans,  referring  to  an  altar-tomb  in  the 
chancel  of  Sawbridgeworlh  Church  contain- 
ing matrices  of  a  kniglit  and  his  two  wives 
kneeling  before  a  representation  of  the 
Trinity,  states  :  "These  brasses  are  mid  to 
have  been  in  the  collection  of  Sir  Samuel 
Meyrick  at  Goodrich  Castle  [Court  1]." 

I  am  informed  that  the  Meyrick  collection 
is  now  entirely  dispersed,  and  no  references 
to  these  brasses  is  to  be  found  in  the  sale 
catalogues.  Is  it  possible  to  ascertain  their 
whereabouts  at  tl>e  present  time  1

NOTES  AND  QUEllIES. 


Will-power  as  nEconoKD  itf  Histouical 
Portraits. — It»  some  ttjanazine  Brticle  hy 
Mr.  Harry  Fumiss,  which  I  came  across  not 
loug  ago,  tli6  autliur  remarked  that  as  a 
caricatunst  iio  liail  nbserved  that  women  of 
marked  intellect  liad  mHHCuline-looking  jaws. 
Great  women  singers,  whose  gift  in  pliysical, 
may  have  the  lower  part  of  the  faco  feminine 
in  type,  but  the  other  celebrities  of  their  sex 
resemble  men  in  tliin  respect, 

la  Mr.  Furniss's  opinion  borne  out  by 
those  historical  portraits  which  are  con- 
aidered  to  be  more  accurate  than  tlatteringl 

Further,  do  raa<jculine  portraits  confirm  the 
general  belief  that  a  heAvy  jaw  indicates  a 
commanding  will  ? 

Have  the  great  men  of  action,  whose  special 
faculty  is  the  power  of  compelling  others  to 
follow  their  lead,  stronger  jaws  and  chins 
than  other  gifted  people  with  capacious 
nkulis  and  highly  organized  brains? 

Personally  I  have  known  a  very  weak  jaw 
go  with  great  tenacity,  and  on  the  con- 
trary, have  observed  strong  jaws  whose 
possessors  never  got  a  hold  on  the  wills  they 
were  anxious  to  guide. 

It  has  yet  to  be  discovered,  I  believe,  how 
it  is  that  certain  men,  without  apparent 
effort,  extort  obedience  from  the  rest  of  tlieir 
world  ;  while  others,  however  right  and 
reasonable,  however  steadfast  to  their  point, 
are  as  impotent  for  good  as  Cassandra.

Piper  at  ('astlb  Bytham  — Can  any  cor- 
respondent of  'N.  &  Q.'  tell  me  what  writer 


gives  the  earliest  account  of  the  piper  who 
went  into  an  underground  passage  at  Castle 
Bytham,  in  Lincolnshire,  and  was  never  seen 
again,  although  ite  could  be  heard  playing  on 
his  pipes  for  some  time? 

If  my  memory  does  not  deceive  me,  he  is 
spoken  of  as  a  Scot  in  Wild's  'History  of 
Castle  Bytham  ' ;  but  surely  this  is  a  moflern 
error.  Does  not  the  tale  come  down  to  us 
from  a  time  when  Lincoltishire  pipers  were 
well  known  '  What  other  versions  of  the 
story  occurl  I  imagine  the  legend  must  be 
current  in  many  parts  of  the  British  I.slands.

"Students  of  the  'Beowulf  will  notice  the 
interestiog  place-names  Grondles  mere  and 
Grindeles  pytt." 

Will  some  student  of  the  '  BecSwulf '  assbt 
me  by  exptaining  the  meaning  of  GremJie  or 
Grindelel  If  this  is  a  personal  name,  is  it 
A.-S.  or  Norse  ?  It  has  been  suggeatetl  to  me 
that  the  village  of  Grindlelon  (West  Hiding) 
takes  its  name  from  the  "  Green  Dale,"  a 
narrow  valley  in  which  is  situated  a  small 
cotton  factory  named  Greendale  Mill.  A 
connexion  with  the  aforesaid  Orindele  seems 
more  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  euphony.

There  is  no  absolutely  satisfactory  work, 
bibliographical  or  historical,  dealing  with  the 
London  and  provincial  press  of  this  country, 
bat  the  undermentioned  will  be  found  to 
cover  the  ground. 

1.  An  admirable  historical  article  on  Lon- 
don journalism,  with  dates,  prices,  *c.,  is 
given  in  Book  and  A'eiet  Trades  GaietU 
26  January,  1901.  ' 

2.  Although  no  chronological  list  is  pro- 
vided, valuaole  matter  is  contained  in  'The 


History  of  British  Journalism  from  the 
Foundation  of  the  Newspaper  PresA  in 
England  to  the  Repeal  of  the  Stamp  Act,  in 
1855,'  by  Alexander  Andrews,  2  vols.  (Londoa, 
Beutley,  1859). 

3.  The  same  is  the  case  with  English  news- 
papers :  '  Chapters  in  the  History  of  Journal- 
ism,' by  U.  It.  Fox  Bourne,  2  vols.  (London, 
Uhatto.  1887). 

4.  'The  Pictorial  Press:  its  Origin  and 
Progress,'  by  Mason  Jackson  (London,  Hurst 
ii  Blackett,  1885),  has  really  a  wider  scope 
than  its  title  would  indicate.  It  is,  of  course, 
snocialiy  useful  in  its  treatment  of  wood- 
block engravings. 

5.  An  unpretending,  but  excellent  little 
volume,  that  cannot  be  neglected,  is  '  Englinh 
Journalism,  and  the  Men  who  have  Made  It,' 
by  Charles  I'ebody — at  one  time,  I  think,  of 
The  Jivistol  Mirror,  subsequently  of  Tfu

follows  :—

The  pictures  appear  to  bo  the  production

Messrs.  lloutledge  published  in  1850  '  A

Dame  Mitchell  and  her  Cat,' 'The  History 
of  a  Nut-cracker,'  and  'The  Strange  and 
Interesting  Adventures  of  Prince  Hempseed 
and  his  Little  Sister.'  The  second  story  in 
its  preface  is  called  'The  Nut-cracker  of 
Nuremberg,' and  Hoffman  is  mentioned  as 
its  author.  Probably  this  is  Dr.  Heinrioh 
Hoffman.  The  story  is  a  long  one.  A  con-

by  "Godfather  Drosselmayer."

Aliaauao,' but  uf  what  year  it  is  impossible 
to  tell  except  by  collation  with  a  perfect  copy. 
The  edition  of  1688  contains  a  parody  of  the

men  of  regicidea  and  other  persons  occur 
ho  were  obnoxious  to  the  popular  sentiment 
of  the  time.  The  "  Ilansborough "  in  the 
present  fragment  in,  there  cannot  be  a  doubt, 
a  mis-spelling  of  the  Siumame  of  Col.  Thomas 
Rainborowe,  a  noteworthy  officer  both  on  sea 
and  land,  and  a  man  prominent  among  the 
independent  section  of  the  army,  wlio  was 
killed  at  Doncaster,  by  a  body  of  desperate 
men  from  the  Royalist  garrison  in  Pontefract 
Castle,  on  29  October,  1648.  Whether  the 
deed  was  done  in  revenea  for  the  execution 
of  Lucas  and  Lisle  on  the  surrender  of  Col- 
chester, or  whether  it  arose  out  of  a  desire  to 
mako  Iwainborown  a  prisoner  for  the  purpose

there  were  several  in  a  lot  of  old  family

years  ago— and  always  heard  them  described 
as  "mulberry  spoons,"  being  intenfled,  as  1

sugar,  and  then  take  it  up  on  tho  spiked  end.

There  is  a  half-obliterateti  "Hon"  mark,  but

mulberry  by  the  bowl,  impale  it  on  the  spike, 
and  lift  it  to  the  mouth.  I  do  not  tliink 
there  was  ever  anything  ecclesiastical  about 
it :  an  engraved  crest  precludes  this  idea.

*'  forties  **  there  was  a  song  very  much  in 
vogue,  which  dei^cnbec]  tlie  sights  of  London, 
and  one  stanza,  I  recollect,  ended  with  "Cen- 
trifiigal  Railway."   The  only  others  1  remem- 
ber (very  imperfectly)  are  the  following : — 
Did  you  ever  go  to  Madame  TussauH  *

!l'heru'8  the  King  of  the  French,  and  Fieschi  the 

traitor, 
Comniisaioiier  Lin.  and  the  Great  Agitator, 
Oh,  oil,  oh,  oh  !    Oh,  oh,  oh,  oh  ! 

Another    stanza,    referring  to  the    Chinese 
Exhibition,  was  something  like  this  : — 
Ching,  a-ritig,  a-ring,  ching,  Feast  of  Lanterns, 
Such  a  crop  of  choptlicks,  hongs,  and  gongs. 
Hundred  thousand  Chinese,  crinkunis  crankuras, 
All  among  the  I'ekiu  pots  and  tongs. 

I  fancy  the  song  came  from  one  of  Planches 
extravaganzas.  If  any  correspondent  knowji 
the  whole  of  the  words,  and  will  communicate 
them  to  me,  I  shall  feel  greatly  oitliged,  as  I 
remember  the  tunes  perfectly.  Each  stanza, 
I  may  add,  had  a  different  tune.

pointed  nut  that  "in  various  places  it  is 
Asserted  that  our  Thomas  Pounde'a  mother's 
sister  married  a  Mr.  Britten."  Thi.i  assertion 
seems  to  be  cotifiniie<J  by  the  will  of  Thomas 
Pounde's  uncle,  Thomas  Wriotliesley,  Earl  of 
Southampton,  who  died  at  the  end  of  July, 
I&50.  For  in  the  will,  which  he  made  shortly 
before  Ids  death  (P.C.C.  13  Bucke),  the  earl 
inentioDs  his  ** sinter  Breten,"  as  well  as  his 
"sister  Pounde'and  his  "sister  Laurence." 
The  will  is  printed  in  the  'Trevelyan  Papers' 
(Camden  Soc,  1857),  p.  -JOQ.  "  Sister  Breten  " 
does  not  appear,  at  any  rale  by  that  sur- 
name, in  the  pedigree  as  kindly  furnishcfl  at

According  to  Berry's  '  Hampiihiro  Genea- 
logies,' 320,  Thomas  Knight,  of  How, 
Nortliants,  married  the  earl's  sister  "Anne." 
I  suppose  that  he  was  the  "Air.  Knyght"  who, 
in  a  letter  to  Wriothesley,  dated  12  April, 
1538,  was  wished  "a  belter  turn  if  lie  marry 
your  sister"  ('L.  and  P.,  temp.  Henry  VIII.,' 
vol.  xiii.  pt.  i.  No.  719) ;  and  also  that  he 
was  the  Thomas  Knight  who  was  then  in 
Wriothesley's  employ  {ibid.,  Nos.  20.  3-24), 
who  accompanied  him  on  his  embassy  abroad 
in  the  autumn  of  1638  (idid.,  pt.  ii.  Nos.  542, 
1140,  6ic.),  and  who  in  April,  1540,  became  a 
clerk  to  the  signet  in  suceesaion  to  Wriothes- 
ley,  upon  his  appointment  as  a  principal 
Secretary  of  State  {i/yid.,  vol.  xv.  No.  611.  17). 
This  clerk  of  the  signet  is  identified  {ibtd., 
vol.  xviii.,  index)  with  Thomas  Knight,  clerk 


of  the  Parliaments  (1.^43),  who  had  been  a 
Winchester  scholar  (1521),  and  afterwards  a 
fellow  of  New  College  (' Oxford  Univ.  Reg.,'

Pounde's  mother,  "  Mistress  Elyne,"  her 
virtues,  and  her  popularity  as  a  godmother, 
in  a  letter  of  12  April,  1538,  written  by  John 
White,  of  Southwick,  shortly  after  sue  and 
her  husband  ha<l  settled  in  White's  neipb- 
bourhood  in  Hampshire.  The  supposition 
that  her  maiden  name  was  Wriothesley  ba« 

Brevailed  so  long  that  perhaps  1iOi;gs 
iRAGON  may  be  induced  to  give  us  his 
reasons  and  authorities,  presumably'  good 
ones,  for  making  lier  only  a  uterine  sister  of

praised  '  Canzones '  or  love  poems  of  **  Ausias 
or  Augustin  March,  the  great  Catalan  Trouba- 
dour,  and  a  follower  of  Petrarch,  who 
flourished  c.  1450,  have  never  been  translated 
into  English,  although  they  de-serve  a  trans- 
lation, according  to  the  opinion  <jf  Sefior

F    Anthony  Rich  (10"'  S.  iv.  401).— I  can  add 
the  interesting  note  by  Mr.  W.  P.  Court- 
'VTEY.    To  have  got  all   those  facts  together 
with  so  much  accuracy  muat  have  entailed  a 
^good  deal  of  labour,  though  the  skill  of  the 
rritev    prevents    it    from    being    apparent. 
Vhat  always  strikes  me  as  curious  in  casea 
like  this  is  that  those  who  benefit  so  con- 
siderably in  an  unexpected  manner  aeldoin, 
if  ever,  do  anything  to  the  iionour  of  the 
person  whoso  benevolence  they  enjoy. 

In  187.3  a  friend  sent  me  the  following  note 

— as  I  have  never  seen  the  book  I  cannot 

vouch  for  the  title:—

these    must  have  been   enormous.      In  the 

^present  day  all  of  them  could   be  done  by  a 

^reproducing     process     without    losing     the

8.  iv.  46r)).  — Since  the  excavations  in  the 
Theobalds  Road  were  commenced  I  have 
•een  a  considerable  number  of  wooden  water- 
jipes  brought  to  the  surface.  They  were 
ind  in  an  almost  continuous  length  between 
Lion  Street  and  Gray's  Inn  Road  ;  and 

»eir  direction  was  invariably  east  anil  west. 

lo  doubt  they  formed  part  of  the  line  seen  by 

[r.    Morley   Davies   north   of    Kingsgate 


Street.  A  feature  of  the  excavations  behind 
Oray'a  Inn  Gardens  was  the  number  of  bones 
of  horses  and  dogs  dug  up ;  the  large  worn 
cobble  stones  were  also  common. 

Except  that  it  extended  to  Holborn  Bridge 
from  the  north  end  of  Lamb's  Conduit  Street, 
I  cannot  &nd  any  indication  of  the  direction 
of  the  pipes  feeding  Lambe's  Conduit.  The 
following  extract  is  from  'Some  Account  of 
William  Larabe,'  «tc.,  by  Abraham  Fleming, 
1580  (reprint,  1875,  p.  23)  :— 

"For  let  us  begin  with  the  conduite.  which  he  of

Mulberry  and  Quince  (10"'  S-  iv.  386, 
438).— During  all  the  days  of  my  boyhood 
there  stood  a  fine  quince  tree  bv  the  road 
leading  to  my  father's  orchard  at  West 
Ilftddon,  Northamptonshire.  It  was,  I  believe, 
planted  by  my  grandfather,  and  although 
now  shorn  of  much  of  its  beauty,  it  was  still 
in  position  the  last  time  I  was  on  the  pre- 
mises. Many  people  came  to  admire  it  wlieii 
it  was  in  blossom,  or  to  beg  some  of  its 
fruit,  but  I  never  once  heard  any  one  allude 
to  the  superstition  that  a  mulberry  must 
always  be  planted  near  a  quince  to  avert  ill 
luck,  John  T.  Page.

John  Penu  allow  (10"'  S.  iv.  507).— He  was 
the  son  of  Thomas  Penhallow,  and  was 
descende<J  from  John  Penhallow,  who  lived 
in  tlie  time  of  King  Henry  VII,,  and  was 
married  to  Mary,  daughter  and  coheiress  of 
Vivian  Penwarne.  of  Pynwanie.  John  Pen- 
liallow,  of  Clifford's  Ion.  was  married  to  Mary, 
daughter  of  Thomas  Glyn,  of  Helston,  by 
whom  he  had  one  daugnter,  Elizabetii,  the 
wife  of  John  Peters.  His  will  was  dated  17 
May,  1716,  and  proved  13  July  following.  He 
was  a  distant  cousin  of  Samuel  Penhallow,  who

doubtless  to  be  accounted  for  by  t}»e  fact 
that  the  relics  of  tho  martyred  Pope  Corne- 
lius of  the  third  century  were  brouglit  to 
Compiegne   by  Charles  the  Bold,  whence  a 

Jjortion  was  carried  to  the  Chapter  of 
losnay,  in  Flanders  (see  Miss  Yonge's 
*  Christian  Names,'  1884).  It  would  be  very 
welcome  if  light  could  be  thrown  on  tho 
diflicult  question  of  the  etymology  of 
"Yankee."  "Jan  Keea"  is,  however,  merely 
one  out  of  manv>«  nickname»  applied  in 
Flanders  to  tho  iimi landers.  Another,  for 
instance,  is  "  Kaas-kop,"  j.e.  "Cheese  head." 
J  AS    I'latt,  Jun. 

"Kees"  is  an  abbreviated  Dutch  proper 
name  for  Krelis,  or  Kornelis,  which  is  ap- 
plied colloquially  to  a  blockhead,  or  clumsy 
fellow  ;  sometimes,  also,  to  a  fox  dog  (ct. 
Holtrop'a  '  Dutch-Engl.  Dictionary,'  1801). 
If  "  Jan  Kees "  were,  indeed,  the  origin  of 
*' Yankee"  (after  the  analogy  of  ''John 
Bull"),  both  the  loss  of  its  final  «  and  its 
present  refined  sen.se  would  Ije  the  re.sult  and 
polishing  effect  of  an  altered  time.  Perhaps 
some  earlier  instances  of  the  first  occurrence 
of  "Yankee"  may  be  found  later,  enabling 
the  e<litor8  of  the  'H.E.D.'  to  decide  the 
question.  H.  Krebs.

in  proof  of  quotations,  a  laibonr  in  this  insLauue  of

subject,  ua  we  have  instituted  no  exact  comiutriion, 
we  cannot  speak  with  certainty. 

Apart  from  its  liandsome  and  attrsolive  form, 
which  remlera  it  a  grace  to  any  library,  this  new 
edition— which,  if  there  were  in  lliose  days  »ny 
such  thing  OS  Knality,  might  well  be  definite  and 
tinal— ia  notable  for  the  a]if>endice9,  the  notes,  and 
the  index.  The  first  named  are  most  numerous  in 
the  cases  of  Addison,  Cowley.  Dryden,  <iray.  Milton, 
Pope,  and  Swift.  These  appendices  are  often  bio- 
Krapliicul,  but  more  often  literary  and  critical.  lu 
the  case  of  Cowley,  whose  life  opens  out  the  series, 
Mr.  Aldis  Wricht  K'^es,  in  Apjterulix  A,  an  extract 
from  the  records  of  Trinity  College,  dated  30  March,

into  a  drie  ClioristRr's  place  in  reversion,"  a  "dtie

(Joaeph  and  I'bomaa),  Culeridgf,  and  I^andor,  of 
Cowley's  Latin  verse.  Appendix  C  deala  with 
'Tiio  Cutler  of  Coleman  iStreet,'  with  Cowley'a 
moderate  ambition,  with  Johnson's  use  of  the 
unhappy  term  "  metajibysical  poels."  and  so  forth. 
A|ipendix  X,  which  follows,  is  affixed  to  Milton, 
and  shows  ua  what  seventeenth  and  earlv  etgh- 
teeuth  century  writer*  said  of  that  poet.  The  only 
tliinfi  regrettable  in  a  deeply  intereslinu  noie  is  an 
injudicious  criticism  by  L>r.  Birkbeck  Hill  himself, 
who,  engrossed  in  eighteenth  century  lUrrature, 
expresses  an  opinion  that  Mas'^on  cx«iKK^ra(«s  (.ij

and  tho  couHcienliounneaR  of  tho  labour.  The  notea 
to  the  Utter  work  are  indeed  as  useful  nnd  as

index  constitnteaa  valuable  appendix  to  that  of  the 
life,  which  may  coinil  ah  the  most  useful  of  modem 
days.  iStriet  An<l  narrow  as  was  the  limitation 
iniiMMed  upon  .Tolinaoti  by  hia  political  convictions, 
his  lives  of  tho  jiools  remain  priceless.  While 
lenient  and  tender  to  the  ribaldries  of  Prior,  and 
indulgent  to  the  obscenities  of  Swift,  ho  is  churlish 
anti  griidKinit  to  Milton.  It  is,  however,  needless 
and  inex|)edient  to  deal  afresh  with  the  value  of 
Johnson's  literary  estimates.  When  these  wore 
not  coloured  by  his  prejudioe-s,  I  hey  w«re  those  of

perhaps  the  deadliest  as  well  as  the  most  modern. 
A  me.e  nomenclature  of  the  heads  of  highest 
interest  which  we  find  in  this  section  would  retjuirc 
more  space  than  we  can  afford.  '  L'Uomme  de 
l^'our '  section  begins  with  Varin's  portrait  of 
Jj'juis  XIV^.  AmonK  other  portraits  are  Jacopo 
Palma'a  'Ariosto'  from  the  National  Uallery  ; 
Titian's  '  AreLino  '  from  the  Pittit iallery  ;  Leonardo 
da  Vinci,  Rubens,  Rembrandt,  Velasquez,  and 
Reynolds,  all  by  the  |)aintera  themselves.  *  Les

Dislirixuishefl  among  the  rcmaiiiinn  designs  are  the

and  Tolstoi  by  Prince  Troiibctskoi.  A  work  in  its

other  features,  and  the  whole  ia  in  an  artistic

nwdem  achievemeat  such  aa  no  other  country  c&n 
claim,  The  chief  honours  chronicled  are  thase 
bestowed  on  H.R.H.  the  Duchess  uf  Fife  and  her 
princely  descendanlf.  Another  daughter  of  His 
Majesty  has  with  her  husband  ascended  the  tliroue 
of  Norway;  while  a  daughter  of  the  Duke  of  Con- 
naughl  is  married  to  the  eventual  heir  of  the  sister 
kingdom  of  Sweden.  Another  matter  to  which 
special  attention  is  called  as  an  ontcome  of  the 
past  few  days  is  the  assignment  to  the  Prime 
Minister — hitherto  without  any  precedence— of  a 

£  lace  immediately  followiag  the  Archbishops  and  the 
,ord  Chancellor  when  a  peer,  and  liefore  the  entire 
peerage  of  whatever  degree.  Among  the  most 
recent  accessions  it  is  sufficient  to  mention  that  of 
the  popular  Hon.  John  Walter  Edward  Douglas 
Scott-MoDlagu  aJi  second  Baron  Montagu  of  Ueau- 
lien.  No  more  lias  to  be  added  than  that  the 
supremacy  of '  Burke '  is  worthily  maintained. 

Onf.  of  the  most  interesting  features— and,  from 
a  certain  historical  standpoint,  one  of  the  most 
important  also— in  the  immortal  diary  of  Pepys  is 
the  record  of  his  visits  to  the  theatre.  From  this 
we  obtain  ulinoat  all  the  exact  information  we 
possess  as  to  the  dates  at  which  certain  dramas 
of  Eteatoration  times  first  saw  I  he  light.  Under  the 
title  '  Pepys  and  Shakospoare  '  Mr.  Sidney  Lee  has 
■ent  to  The  Fortnightlii  a  valuable  and  interesting 
paper  showing  the  inletloctiial  Iimitation»  of  Pepys 
lu  Iho  censures  he  passes  uii-on  plays.  The  whole 
ends  with  a  eulogy  of  Beltertnn.  who  seems, 
indeed,  lo  have  been  the  foremost  actor  of  all 
times  in  iSUakespeare.  Mr.  Mlingnby  Roberts  has 
much  to  sny  concerning  Nero  in  'Modern  Drama,' 
the  word  "  moilern"  including  Tudor  limes.  Send- 
ing the  first  part  of  a  series  of  palters  to  be  ULlJed 
'The  End  of  the  Age,'  Tolstoy  finds  a  good  deal 
Ibat  is  ciiecrlng  in  the  victory  of  Japan  over  Russia 
and  in  the  present  rcvolutnonary  Dutbreak.  M. 
Maurice  Maetcrliikck  say.')  much  that  is  true,  and  a 
little  that  has  been  said  before— by  V'oU*ire  among 
others— about '  Our  Anxious  Morality.'  Mrs,  John 
Lane  writes  very  amiidingly  about  'The  London 
'Bus,' wliich  she  regards  as  "  the  true  republic," 
8>  it  may  be,  hut  we  have  seldom  seen  eLsewhero 
more  comic  atTcctations  of  social  superiority, 

Artklks  on  any  but  political  and  economic 
topics  are  scarce  in  Tkf  Xintteenth  dnhtrij.  Mr. 
Michael  MacDonngh  supplies  a  contribution  on 
'The  Making  nf  Parliament,' which  in  appearance 
it  timely,  and  is  in  no  sense  controversial.  Orti-oi 
is  familiar  enough  to  those  who  have  made  any- 
thing in  the  nature  of  a  rcHidence  in  any  of  the 
l.SOOor  more  FroiiL'li  towns  where  it  prevails,  but 
doea  not  come  nnieb  in  the  way  of  I  he  traveller. 
The  octroi  on  alcohol  alone  yields  in  Paris  over  a 
luillion  iwunds  sterling.    Prof.  Ridgeway's  recently 

fmblished  work  on  '  The  Thoroughbred  Horse ' 
urnishes  Mr.  Wilfrid  Scawon  Blunt  with  text  for 
A  good  page.  In  an  anti-Matlbusian  arlitle  Mr. 
Barclay  draws  sanguine  couctuHirvns  concerning  the 
diminishing  birth-rate.  Ladv  Burghclera's  contri- 
bution on  'Stratford  aa  a  Letter- Writer'  is  the 
moat  literary  in  the  number.  An  Anglo-Ja|>ane8o 
ladf  lends  a  romantic  account  of  a  Japanese 
tni&dy.  'Lafeadio  Heani,' by  Mrs.  Arthur  Ken- 
nerd,  also  deals  with  Japan.  'The  Chancellor's 
Rolx^'  by  Col.  Spencer  Childers,  lets  in  light  upon 
a  curious  custom. 

'SrARKSFKOM  TUK  Anvil  ;  i>R,  TnoufMiTs  or  A 
QVKRN,'  by  far  the  most  interesting  article  in  The 


Xalioiial  Itei-irw,  consists  of  utterances  by  Carmen 
Sylva,  which  for  acute  observation  and  for  anti- 
thesis may  com]>are  with  the  gnomes  of  the  beet 
French  writers.  U  We  were  to  begin  to  quote,  wo 
know  not  when  we  should  leave  off.  For  "  jiru- 
deiit  doubt,"  which  in  'Colloquies  in  a  Suburban 
(iarden  '  is  said  to  be  "  the  beacou  of  the  wi^e, "  sub- 
stitute 7H0ilcM  ilonht,  which  is  what  Shakespeare 
said.  AmuKin^and  interesting  are 'The  Humoura 
of  Parish  Visiting.'  Many  unsuspected  mattera 
lurk  under  a  rather  vague  title.  Lord  Ratlimore'a 
'  Devolution  '  opens  out  the  Irish  Question;  'The 
Pattern  Englishman  and  his  Record  reaolves  itaelf 
into  an  arraignment  of  Sir  Henry  Campbell-Banner- 
man  ;  and  the  'Colloquies 'noticed  above  end  in  a 
disapproval  of  Irving's  entombment  in  Westminster 
Abbey. 

Sir  Algernon  \Vk.'<t  in  TTic  CoruhiU  writaa 
with  much  sjirightliness  about  Mayfair  and 
Thackeray.  \  iscount  St.  Cyres  gives  maojr 
instances— which  might,  however,  be  indefinitely 
e.xlended— of '  Judges'  "  Wul."'  Mr.  W.  A.  Shea- 
stone  ha^  a  sciontitic  contribution  on  'Malter* 
Motion,  ond  Molecules.'  In  'A  Memory'  Mias 
Katliarine  Tynan  describes  a  mild  and  sympathetic 
Irish  barrister,  whom  she  does  not  name,  but 
whose  identity  could  doubtless  be  made  out. 
Part  IV.  of  *  Reminiscences  of  a  Diplomatist'  con- 
tinues its  interesting  account  of  St.  Petersburg' 
before  the  outbreak  of  war  in  the  Crimea.  'From 
a  College  Window,'  Part  IX.,  is  rather  saddening. 

The  famous  '  V'enus  and  ('upid'  of  \'elasqnez 
serves  as  frontispiece  to  77j«  Bnrliitf/ton,  and  is  the 
subject  of  a  reproachful  article,  the  effect  of  which 
will  be  iiiY.  Sir  Richard  Holmes  sends  tho  lirat 
part  of  an  essay  on  Nicholas  Hilliard  as  an  English 
miniature  painter.  The  illustrations  include  two 
likenesses  of  Queen  Elizabeth  from  Wolbeck  Abbey 
and  Windsor  Casltp,  one  of  Lady  Jane  Grey,  ana 
others  of  Henry  VII.  and  VIII.,  Edward  VI.,  »nd 
,James  I.  Prof  Baldwin  Brown's  '  How  Oreelt 
Women  Dressed'  is  concluded,  as  is  Mr.  Beck'a 
'  Ecclesiastical  Drem  in  Art.' 

'A  Fifteenth  -  CesTrKY  Lcsiisakist,'  Piero 
dclla  Francesca,  bv  Mr.  Laurence  Housman,  which 
opens  No.  '2  of  Tht  Mauja-int  of  Fine  Arl»,  haa 
a  finely  coloured  reproduction  of  the  'Nativity' 
from  the  National  ('sllery,  and  many  other  Mrell* 
executed  |>lAtes,  'The  Landscapes  oi  Rubens*  is 
another  tiuely  illustrated  paper.  A  coloured  plate 
of  Diana  and  Endymion,  a  tinted  leproduc- 
lion  of  Cleopatra,  and  a  do»>n  other  plates 
accompany  Sir  J.  I).  Linton's  'Art  of  Williani 
Etty,  R.A,'  These  may  serve  to  bring  back  into 
favour  an  artist  whose  flesh  tints  were  once  held 
remarkable,  but  who  is  now  sadly  and  unjustly  out 
of  favour, 

TiiK  frontispiece  to  The  Pall  Mall  consists  of 
'Mile.  Diirv,'  a  reproduction  of  a  picture  vaguely 
described  as  of  the  French  School,  but  with  a 
I>o«sible  suggestion  of  Gren/.e.  'The  Second  City 
of  the  Empire'  depicts  Liverpool  by  |icu  and 
pencil,  lu  'Eton  Scnooldays'  tho  Earl  of  Uiirbani 
18  presented.  Sir  Harry  H.  Johnston  deals  with 
'The  Cave  Dwellers  in  the  Tunisian  Sahara.'  Mr. 
Charles  Morley's  '  London  at  Prayer  '  presents  the 
Poor  Brothers  at  the  Charterhouse,  one  face  ir» 
which  seems  recognixable.

"BROWN  BESS"   A«   APPLIED  TO  A 
MUSKET. 

Is  1835  a  query  appeared  in  '  N.  i  Q.' 
<1"  S.  xi.  284)  HA  to  tliP  origiii  of  lliia  torni. 
A  reply  was  given  to  the  effect  tliat  "  Bess" 
wa?  really  tlie  Dutch  word  Aim,  whicli  signifies 
barrel,  an<l  is  foun<J  in  the  sixteenth  century 
•'  liarqtiebus,*'  a  hand  Kun  that  took  the 
rtlace  of  tho  long  bow.  No  one  can  find  any 
fault  with  the  above  derivation  ;  but  no 
satinfactory  explanation  has  yet  l^eea  given 
tk9  to  the  word  "Brown"  when  it  precedes 
*' Boss."  The  present  writer,  after  a  f/ioim 
*tn<l>f,  is  strongly  of  opinion  that  the  early 
British  uiuiiket  was  not  called  "  Brown  Hess" 
becaute  the  barrel  was  of  a  brown  colour 
(2"^  S.  V.  250),  but  for  the  simple  reason  that 
<jueoii  El>z3.1)etirs  cunfounder,  during  tlio 
la%t  twelve  years  uf  lier  reisn,  was  a  certain 
Thomas  Brown.  This  gentleman,  who  was 
evidently  an  artificer  of  no  mean  order,  was 
|«o  punfounder  to  the  East  India  Company, 
id  did  &  larjC^e  export  business  with  Holland 
^n  hi'*  own  accouut. 

Curiously    enough,  the    fin»t  ^mention    of 
BruwD  tlio  Runfounder  in  tho  State  Papers 


appears  in  a  letter  from  James  YI.  to  tlie 
EtiRli'th  Council  of  State,  dated  from  Stirling, 
22  August,  1599,  relative  to  "certain  shipa 
laden  with  muskets,  ic,  which  Mr.  Brown 
WAS  bringing  from  Flanders  to  Scotland  " 
(' Cal.  S. P. D.,  Scottish  Series').  When  King 
James  ascended  the  English  throne  ho 
appointed  Brown  his  gunfounder.  The  follow- 
ing letter  from  Brown's  son  John  to  Solicitor- 
General  Heath  supplies  the  approximate 
date  of  the  elder  Brown's  appointment  as 
gunfounder  to  Queen  Elizabeth  : — 

"  December  — ,  1021.  My  Fiillier  hu  for  the  liist 
thirty  years  c&<tt  ordnance  fur  the  late  Queen  niiJ 
the  King,  and  for  years  maintained  the  trade  alone. 
At  the  request  of  the  ordnance  oHicers  and  the  K«jit 
Iiiiiia  C'oni<|>any,  I  was  jiut  to  the  trade  that  I  itiiglit 
continue  it  if  my  father  failed,  which  I  Imve  done, 
and  produced  lately  two  such  iiieces  as  I  challenKO 
others  to  cl'fi  the  hke.  If  I  may  still  cn*t  for 
merchants,  if  the  Kinij  wants  '2lX)  jiiec-ea  I  will  cast 
them  in  '20(1  days.  Mr.  Crow  has  got  a  patent  for 
'  making  of  ordnntice  to  merchants  ;  ihi^  would  cou- 
I  fine  me  to  the  Kind's  service,  which  only  takes  ten 
days  a  year." — 'SP.D.,  Addenda,  James  I.' 

The  aforesaid  Jolin  Brown  had  been  ap- 
pointed "  Ma.ster  Founder  of  the  Iron 
Ordnance"  in  1G20  ;  and  liis  letter  justquoted 
was  in  consequence  of  Sackville  Crow,  a  pro- 
tege of  the  Duke  of  Buckingham,  having 
obtained  tho  patent  to  which  Brown  takes 
exception.  Tho  Browns  had  their  foundry  at 
Breticbley.  Kent,  and  employed  '200  mea. 
Milliall  Wharf,  being  close  lo  Brenchley, 
afforded  facilities  for  export  trade.  Under 
date  of  VJ  February,  1019,  the  elder  Brown 
stated  that  "half  of  tho  ordnance  manu- 
factured by   him  had  been   bought  and  ex- 

I  ported  by  the   Dutch  under  licence  "  ('Cal. 

|S.P.D.,'  IClti).  In  the  sixteenth  and  seven- 
teenth centuries  tho  manufacturers  of  musketg 
were  not  specially  named  in  tho  Ordnance 
Lists,  though  a  gunstock  maker  and  a  gun- 
smith appear  in  an  Ordnance  List  of  ITj-IB 
(Col.  Cleaveland'a  'Notes  on  the  Early  His- 
tory of  the  Royal  Artillery  ').  It  must,  there- 
fore, be  taken  for  granted  that  the  gun- 
founders  to  Queen  Elizabeth  and  KingJaraea 
cast  musket-barrels  as  well  as  large  ordnance. 
The  writer  recently  received  the  following 
information  fi'Otn  Viscount  Dillon,  the 
Curator  of  the  Armouries  in  tho  Tower  of 
London : — 

"As  to  the  EliEAbelhan  muskets,  we  have  a 
musket  and  n  calivcr  of  about  bWl.  'i'hey  came 
from  I'enshurst,  where  there  are  Beveraf  more. 
Those  in  the  Tower  have  no  names  on  them.  The 
caliver  has  an  indistinct  stamp  somewliat  like  a 
bird;  the  mu»ket  ha«  a  crown  atumi)«d  on  the 
barrel." 

It  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  the  (Juoen'd 
gunfounder  stamped  his  inusket-bavceU'^MxvSx

the  "oiown."  and  that  whencomplete<l  these 
rausketa  were  served  oat  to  the  Queen's 
soldiers  both  in  England  and  Holland.  May 
we  not  conclade  that  a  musket  of  an 
improved  pattern  came  into  use  towards 
the  end  of  Queen  Elizabeth's  reiKn,  and 
that  it  was  known  to  the  British  troops 
then  in  the  service  of  the  Dutch  Republic 
as  a  "  Brown  bus,"  which  term  degenerate<J 
into  "Brown  Bess"?

'D.N.B.' 

(See  W  8.  iv.  21. 101, 182, 244,  364.) 

WuKN  the  Parliamentary  Commiaaion  for 
visitinK  the  University  actually  began  work, 
Magdalen  wa-s  tlie  first  college  to  be  visited. 
On  5  May,  1648,  answers  being  invited  from 
various  members  of  the  College  to  the  ques- 
tion, "Do  you  submit  lo  the  authority  of 
Parliament  in  this  visitation  1"  twenty-eight 
replies  were  received,  but  only  one  submis- 
sion. One  chorister,  John  Drake,  produced 
a  long  and  elalx>rate  reply,  refusing  to 
submit,  "  if  the  word  Submitt  signifie  that 
the  2  Houses  of  Parliament,  without  and 
against  his  most  excellent  Maje^itie,  have  a 
lawfull  power  tovisite  this  Universilie, either 
by  themselves  or  others."  This,  like  the  pro- 
fessed incapacity  of  the  commoners  to  answer 
so  weiglity  a  question  in  any  way,  was  pro- 
bably intendea  to  annoy.  On  17  May  Hugh 
Phillips,  "chorister  and  but  a  sciioolelx>y  14 
yeare  old,'' says:  "I  confesse  that  I  am  not 
sclioller  sufficient  to  give  an  Answere  to 
this  Question  propounded."  Thomas  Horno, 
chorister,  acknowledges  "the  Visitation,  as 
it  comet li  from  the  Kingo  and  Parliament, 
otherwi.'so  I  cannot  conscionably  submitt  to 
it."  Ilumfrey  Simpson,  chorister,  replica : 
"Your  Question  is  too  obscure  for  me  to 
answere,  but  howsoever  I  cannot  submitt  to 
the  Visitation."  These  four,  with  the  pos- 
sible exception  of  Phillips,  were  eventually 
expelled.  In  the  sequel  at  least  two-thirds 
of  the  Demies  and  most  of  the  choristers  were 
deprived.  The  grammar  master,  William 
Wnite,  was  deprived,  and  his  place  supplied 
by  the  usher,  Thomas  Houghton,  or  Haw  ton, 
who  submitted  {v.  *  Register  of  Visitors  of 
University  of  Oxford,  1647-68/  ed.  Prof.  M. 
Burrows). 

In  July,  1C49,  a  large  sum  of  money  (oro- 
bably  worth  nearly  l,600i.)  was  discovered  in 
a  chest  in  the  muniment-room.  This  was  the 
reserve  fund  provided  by  the  founder  for  use 
in  emergencies, and  mentioned  in  hisatatutea. 


The  coins  were  for  the  most  part  "old 
Edwards"  or  "spur-royals"  and  "angels," 
and  were  now  divided  among  tht>  niemberi 
of  the  foundation,  even  the  choristerN  and 
servants  obtaining  a  share.  E<iward  IV. 
first  struck  the  rose  noble,  or  ryal,  in  14ti5, 
the  reverse  bearing  in  the  centre  his  badge* 
of  the  rose  on  sun.  In  later  time* 
these  coins,  and  their  successors,  wer« 
calleil  "spur-ryals."  from  the  resemblance 
of  the  pointed  form  of  the  son's  rays  to  the 
star-like  spur  of  the  period.  Ultimately, 
after  the  Restoration,  a  large  part  of  the  sum 
abstracted  was  made  good  and  replaoed  in 
the  chest.  At  the  same  time  the  old  order  of 
things  was  in  some  fashion  restored,  eight 
Demies  being  replaced,  all  of  whom  retired 
the  next  year. 

William  Reeks,  a  member  of  the  School 
recommended  by  Lord  Chancellor  Clarendon, 


l^came  Fellow  in  1671,  and  died  four 


r* 


later.  He  left  a  detailed  allegorical  explaua 
tion  of  the  curious  figures  which  adorn  the 
buttresses  on  three  sides  of  the  cloister. 
These  figures,  set  up  in  ir>08-9,  were  painted 
upon  the  occasion  of  the  royal  visit  when 
James  I.  pronounced  Magdalen  to  bo  "the 
most  absolute  building  in  Oxford."  In  lOTi 
William  Harris  of  M.C.S.  was  recommendeil 
by  the  King  for  a  Demyship  (liloxam,  iii, 
204  ;  Wilson,  G3n,  165,  170.  177).  A  chorister 
of  1G62,  Thomas  Collins  of  Bristol,  wah  after- 
wards Vice-Principal  of  Gloucester  Hall  (now 
Worcester  College),  and  from  1673  until  his 
death,  fifty  years  later.  Master  of  M.C.S. 
He  was  a  friend  of  Anthony  Woud,  whose 
body  ho  assisted  in  bearing  to  the  grave  in 
Merton  Chapel,  and  also  of  Thomas  Heante. 
The  latter  declares  him  to  have  been 
"a  good  Preacher,  a  good  Scholar,  and 
a  roost  facetious  comiuinion " ;  and  says 
under  date  16  Sept.,  170C,  "The  best  thing  Z 
ever  heard  of  Bishop  Hough  [the  Prenident 
elected  by  James  II.]  was  his  bestowiD^  a 
Prebend  of  Lichfii?l<l  uijon  Mr.  Collins, 
Schoolmaster  of  Magdalen."  Again,  uu 
21  April,  1719,  Uearne  called  "upon  Mr. 
Collins  of  Magd.  Coll.  to-day  between  two 
and  three.  He  was  reading  Pope's  Homer, 
which  he  mightily  admires.  He  usetli  a  little 
hour-glasi?,  which  he  says  he  brought  with 
him  when  he  first  came  to  Oxford."  Hi» 
portrait  by  an  unknown  artist  is  at  AI.CS. 
A  pupil  of  his,  one  Thomas  Goodwyn,  Demy 
in  1675,  and  expelled  by  James  Il.'a  CoU' 
missioners,  died  Archdeacon  of  Derby  and 
"a  very  gfuwl  scholar."  Another  of  vereB 
years  later,  Richard  Watkins,  exp'""'  -  :■  *""- 
same  occasion,  became,  in  calmer

taoey,  chorister  1676-83,  is  noticed  by  Hearne 
i»  a  gOKxl  preacher  in  hia  prime. 

During  the  f&inoua  contest  with  James  II. 
ia  1687-8  twenty-five  Fellowu  and  eighteen 
Demies  were  expelled,  professed  Romanists 
taking  their  places.  John  HourIi,  eventually 
Biskop  of  Worcester,  was  superseded  as 
JPresioent  by  Samuel  Parker,  Bishop  of 
Oxford,  and  after  the  latter's  death,  for  a 
few  months,  by  Bonaventure  Gifford,  titular 
Bishop  of  Madaara.  Thomas  Collins,  the 
Master,  who  became  chaplain  to  Bishop 
Parker,  unsucce,ssfully  applied  for  a  mandate 
for  a  Fellowsliip  and  for  the  deRreo  of  D.D. 
(Bloxam's  '  Magdalen  Colle^;e  and  James  II.,' 
83,  93).  Wood,  under  date  10  Jan.,  1688, 
BayR:— 

"  Mr.  CoUins  return'd  from  London  after  he  had 
b«en  there  some  time  toKaiiieafellowBhip  of  Magd. 
Coll.  ami  not  tunie  Roman  Catholic.  In  hisalweuce 
Mr.  (Richurd)  Wrinht,  his  usher  (1683-9),  left  his 
place  and  carriml  away  most  (of)  his  scholars  to 
teach  ihnm  privatly  in  the  (treat  atone-hou^e  against 
the  Cheoquer  liin.  'Tis  said  Mr.  Collins  hath  lost 
bis  reputation  among  hia  friends,"—*  Life,'  iii.  253. 

It  was  said  of  Wood  that*' he  never  spake 
well  of  any  man  "  ;  but  Collins,  as  we  have 
seen,  remained  hia  friend  unto  the  end. 

I'nder  Gifford  a  further  expulsion  of 
Fellows  took  place,  only  three  of  those  of 
Hough's  time  being  left  undisturbed— and 
one  of  them  a  lunatic  !  Apparently  ten 
choristers  were  ejected  iu  16«7,  including 
Thomas  Yalden,  the  well-known  poet,  to  be 
replaced  by  as  many  boys,  who  probably  | 
assisted  as  acolytes  at  the  celebration  of  Mass, 
according  to  tne  Uoman  use,  when  GifTord 
set  up  that  form  of  worship  in  the  Ck)lleKe 
chapel.  These  ten  were  in  their  turn  removed 
by  Bishop  Mows  at  his  visitation,  2.'>  Oct., 
1688,  when  the  legitimate  members  of  the 
College  were  restored.  But  despite  King 
James's  ill-treatment  of  her,  Magdalen  long 
retained  her  affection  for  the  exiled  house  of 
Stewart,  and  the  king  who  iiad,  meta- 
pltorically,  broken  his  head  against  Wolsey's 
Tower  ;  and  when,  in  171.V  General  Pepper 
was  .sent  with  his  famous '' troop  of  horse" 
to  coerce  Oxford  at»d  arrest  certain  disloyal 
persons,  Col.  Owen,  a  Jacobite  officer,  found 
a  sure  refuge  in  the  College.  Pepper,  on  his 
arrival,  beset  the  '"  Grey nound  "  Inn  in  the 
"Gravel  Walk,"  where  Owen  was  lodging; 
and  tho  latter  was  warned  only  just  in  time 
to  escape  from  his  bed  over  a  wall  into  the 
College.  Tradition  has  it  that  he  was  for  some 
time  concealed  in  the  turret  of  the  "  Grammar 
Hall,"  then  the  bell  -  turret  of  the  School 
building.  A.  R.  B.vyujy.

this  pedigree. 

John  Fleetwoofl  (baptized  at  St.  Andrew 
Undershaf t.  6  April,  1720  ?)  married  Barbara 
Wynne  at  Mercers'  Hall  Ciiapel,  Cheapside, 
24  Feb.,  1754  (marriage  allegation  in  Bishop 
of  London's  Registry).  He  died  at  Lambeth, 
22  Dec,  1788,  a  widower  and  intestate; 
ftd  ministration  was  granted  to  his  son 
Robert,  5  Jan.,  1780  (P.C.C  Macham).  He 
had  other  children,  as  he  resided  at 
Clapham  before  going  to  Lambeth,  and

records  on  U  Jan.,  1771,  tho  christening  of 
Barbara,  daughter  of  John  and  Rarbaia 
Fleetwood  (born  9  Dec,  1770).  This  Bar- 
bara Fleetwood  married  at  Masulipatam, 
17  ilay,  1792,  Lieut.-Col.  Edward  iMoutagu, 
of  H.E.I.C.  Artillery.  He  was  mortally 
woundeci  at  Seringapatam,  dying  10  May, 
1799.  Mrs.  Montagu  died  3  June,  1848.  The 
Regicide  has  living  representatives,  who  will 
be  found  in  Burke's  '  Peerage 'as  descendants 
of  the  first  Earl  of  Manchester. 

Auna  Maria,  who  married  Cot.  William  Gent, 
was  another  daughter  of  John  Fleetwood. 
She  died  24  Aug.,  1801,  aged  forty-five,  and 
was  interred  at  Cliarlton  Kings,  near  Chel- 
tenham, CO  Gloucester. 

Robert  Fleetwood,  who  administered  hia 
father's  estate,  was  in  the  Victualling  Office 
for  more  than  forty  years.  He  died  at  hi.» 
residence  in  New  Ormond  Street,  17  Dec.,. 
,  1824.  His  eldest  son,  Robert,  died  at  North-

William  Fenton,  and  it  was  she  who  had  the 
miniature  of  the  Regicide.    This  settles  the-

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


[lO^B.  V.Jax  IMMl 


Elizabeth  Fleetwood  (10"'  S.  i.  422),  tlie 
Regicide's  dtiugliter,  and  half-sister  to  Anne 
Fleetwood,  died  intestate  and  unmarried. 
Administration  waa  granted  to  her  brother 
Robert,  10  April,  1G77,  her  mother  having 
first  renounced  ;  she  is  doscribeil  an  of  the 
pariali  of  St.  Miciiael,  Cornliill  (I'.C.C.  tiale). 
David  Fleetwood  <10"'  S,  i.  422),  who  in- 
iierited  Milton's  Cottage,  had  ason  Valentine, 
burial  at  Ainersliam,  Bucks,  3  June,  1081. 
His  baptismal  name  was  doubtless  derived 
from  the  Uev.  Thomas  Valentine,  rector  of 
C'halfout  St.  Giles*,  deprived  for  noncon- 
formity in  1061. 

Mrs.  Honoria  Cradock  (10""  S.  i.  422),  Kister 
to  the  llegicido,  must  have  been  a  post- 
liuroous  child.  Of  her  husband,  the  Uev. 
Samuel  Cradock,  rector  of  North  Cad  bury, 
CO.  Somerset,  ejected  for  nonconformity  in 
1662,  an  interesting  account  will  l)e  found  in 
the  '  D.N.B.,'  based  chiefly  on  Calamy.  He 
inherited  unexpecte<lly  a  family  estate  called 
•Ge.syngs,  at  Wickhambrook,  co.  Suffolk  ;  he 
died  at  Bishop'!)  Stortford,  Herts,  7  Oct., 
1706,  in  his  eighty  sixth  year.  His  widow 
■died  25  Feb.,  1708. 11,  at  the  age  of  eighty-one, 
and  she  lies  with  her  husband  at  Wickham- 
brook, where  tablets  were  erected  to  their 
memories.  Tliey  had  several  children,  but 
the  family  ap|>ettrs  to  have  died  out  in  the 
«ioxt  generation,  the  last  survivor  being 
Elizabeth  Cradock.  their  granddaughter,  who 
fuarried  the  Uev.  Thomas  Priest,  pastor  to  a 
Dissenting  congregation  at  Wickhambrook. 
Mrs.  Priest  died  27  Jan.,  1763. 

George  Fleetwood  (10'^'  S.  i.  424),  eldest  son 
of  Robert  and  grandMon  of  the  Regicide, 
married  I  Aug  ,  1731,  at  St.  James'.s,  Duke's 
Place,  Aldgate,  Hannah,  widow  of  Hop- 
son,  of  St.  Botnlpb,  Blshopsgate.  He  died 
intestate,  and  administration  was  granted  to 
his  widow,  13  Jan.,  1732,3  (Commissary  Court 
of  London). 

Family  of  Brand  or  Brend  (10"'  S.  i.  423-4). 
— In  the  pedigree  of  Smith  of  Hill  Hall, 
Essex,  given  at  the  end  of  'Tlieydon  Mount  : 
its  Lords  and  Hectors,'  it  is  stated  that  Sir 
William  Smith  (die<l  December,  102C)  marrie<l 
Bridget,  daughter  of  Thomas  FIeetwo<xl,  of 
the  Vache  ;  their  fourth  daughter,  Frances 
Smith,  married  Sir  Matthew  Brende,  of  West 
Moulsey,  Surrey,  Knt.,  son  of  Xicholas  Brende 
by  Margaret,  daughter  of  Sir  William  Plumer, 
Knt.  This  is  interesting  as  showing  an  earlier 
connexion  with  the  Brend  family  than  that 
•occasioue<l  by  the  Regicide's  marriage  with 
Hester  Smith,  sister  of  Judith  Smith,  who 
jnarried  Thomas  Bread,  of  Moulsey.

niatter.  I  know  of  no  safer  and  saner  guide 
than  Br('al,  whoso  words  are  always  worth

I  doubt  the  parallelism  notetl  Ixjtween

would  approach  His  worshipper  is  intelligible; 
but  in  Rome  we  sliould  rather  exjiect  to  find 
that  the  worshipper  had  to  approach  tht

liaiie^l  the  results  of  his  investigatiotis  in  a 
Hungarian  pamphlet,  which  appeared  in 
1878  under  the  title  'The  Family-Name  of 
Albert  Durer  and  the  Place  of  Origin  of  his 
Family.'  The  exact  site  is  shown  on  a 
German  map  attacheii  to  the  pamphlet.  Tlie 
name  of  the  little  village,  which  was  Hwept 
away  during  the  Turkiih  wars,  was  Ajlus, 
and  is  mentioned  in  several  old  deeds  pub- 
'  linhed  by  Haan  (Aytos  in  1456  and  1515, 
Ajtos  in  1517  and  1518,  and  Ajthos  in  1!>64). 
The  ./and // are  interchangeable  in  old  Hun- 
garian. 

Ajtu  i<ii\iO  modern  Hungarian,  and  J'/iiir 
(not  TUiiter)  the  German,  name  for  door, 
atul  the  artist's  canting  arms  also  show  an 
open  door  with  two  leaves  on  the  triple 
motint  of  Hungary. 

AjtoA  is  an  adjective,  and  would  mean 
*' fitted  with  a  door  or  doors"  under  ordi- 
nary circumstances,  but  probably  meant 
something  else  in  the  name  of  the  village. 

It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  the  patronymic 
of  the  arti-it  is  merely  a  play  upon  the  sup- 
posed meaning  of  the  name  of  his  ancestors' 
Hungarian  home,  but  I  fail  to  Hee  in  what 
way  it  is  an  indication  that  the  family  had 
originally  emi>!,rateil  from  Germany.  Ac- 
cording to  Ha.-in,  tlie  Population  wa^  purely

Nor  can  I  understand  why  the  way  he 
[the  artist]  puts  a  little  portrait  of  himself^ 
finely  dre-ssed,  into  his  mosit  important 
pictures,"  should  "carry  our  thoughts  away 
to  the  banks  of  the  Danube."  because  Ins  ol(i 
ancestral  homo  stood  on  the  White  K6ro% 
and  "the  young  horse  breeder "  would  have 
to  wander  several  days'  ride  from  home  and 
to  cross  the  wide  river  Theiss  on  his  way 
before  lie  reached  the  banks  of  the  Danube. 

Uaan  was  still  able  to  trAce  the  brick 
foundations  of  the  old  church  and  of  another 
large  building.  At  the  present  day  Ajlos  ia 
merely  a/>u«/a,  t'r..  a  plain,  bordering  upon 
the  vineyards  of  Gyula,  which  the  artist 
spells  "  Jula."

the  opening  stanza  of  this  ode  'To  Himself 
the  poet  deprecates  intellectual  sloth,  warmly 
assuring  the  person  intimately  concerned 
that  knowledge  having  gone  to  sleep  will 
speedily  cease  to  be.    He  adds  :—

A  word  has  dropped  oat  before  "destroy*,"

appropriate  filling  of  tlie  gap.  "  ooon 
would  probably  suttice  ;  it  is  in  accord  witli 
the  drift  of  the  poet's  appeal,  and  it  would 
l.ie  rhythmically  satisfactory.  VVIialley  pro- 
posed "quite,"  Gifford  "so,  and  either  serves 
the  purpose  fairly  well.  In  Mr.  Humphry 
Ward's  'English  Poets,' ii.  17,  Prof.  A.  W.  Ward 
inserts  "that"  as  his  choice,  and  in  a  foot- 
note gives  the  explanation  "  '  that'  conj."  If 
tiiis  means  that  the  word  utilized  is  a  con- 
junction, then  the  editorial  explanation  of 
the  passage  becomes  liislinclly  puzzling. 
"That"  a.1  a  relative  would  be  defensible^ 
only  it  is  doubtful  whether  Jonson  would 
have  deliberately  repeated  the  syntax  of  the 
previous  clause.  Thomas  Baynb. 

The  Juvenile  TuEATRE.^With  reference

«syi»,  be  imperfect,  but  it  is  the  most  com- 
plete known.  I  have  a  collection  as  nurnerouH, 
and  I  have  some  prints  not  in  the  Print 
Room  ;  bat  I  think  the  R.M.  is  the  luure 
completa  It  is  doubtful  if  a  perfect  set  will 
ever  be  forthcomine.  The  prints  were  made 
to  be  destroyed.  I  believe  I  have  the  largest 
«et  known  of  the  Skelts'  prints  for  the 
juvenile  theatre,  but  they  are  not  so  rare: 
they  total  to  about  a  thousand  different 
prints.  1  do  not  think  any  of  the  juvenile 
prints  can  be  relied  on  as  being  from  the 
actual  characters  after  1640. 

I  also  have  about  a  thousand  of  the  series 
of  whole-length  figures  known  as  '"  Theatrical 
Portraits."  From  these  I  should  think  arose 
the  title  "  one  penny  plain,  twopence 
coloured,"  commonly  "penny  plain,  tuppence 
coloured."  Most  of  the  celebrated  actors 
and  actre<;ses  between  1811  and  1850  are 
represented. 

The  40,<>X)  prints  Mr.  Sandfohd  looked 
through  were,  of  course,  mostly  duplicates, 
and  ciiiefly  Skelt's  and  Green's,  fur  neither 
of  whose  prints  I  feel  much  respect,  though 
there  are  a  few  that  are  goo<].  The  subject 
is  a  vast  one.  These  juvenile  theatre  prints 
were  atone  time  to  the  public  what  the  press 
is  now,  and  the  prints  were  issued  by  millions. 
If  there  was  a  run  on  a  particular  plate,  the 
printer  would  be  working  all  day  and  all 
night.  They  were  ail  printed  by  hand,  and 
required  a  skilled  workman,  accustomed  to 
this  class  of  work,  to  get  good  proofs. 

I  have  for  years  intended  to  write  an 
account  of  these  prints,  &c.,  comprised  in 
the  period  between  1800  and  18o0  ;  but  the 
experience  I  have  lately  had  of  the  expense 
of  publishing  is  likely  to  last  me  a  very  long 
time.  I  am  still  in  nopes  tiiat  I  shall  leave 
an  account  in  manuscript.

AvKsnA  :  it*  Pronunciation.  —  In  the 
author's  note  at  the  commencement  of  Mr. 
Rider  Haggard's  new  novel  'Ayesha'  it  is 
stated  that  "  the  name  Ayesha  should  \ie  pro- 
nounced Assha,"  1  cannot  help  thinking  that 
there  is  some  misprint  here.  If  Orientals  do 
say  Assha,  it  is  only  through  carelessness. 
The  name  is  really  of  three  syllables,  and  tlie 
be«t  way  to  pronounce  it  is  Ainha,  the 
vowels  as  in  Italian,  and  the  stress  on  the 
initial  syllable.  Perhaps  this  is  what  Mr. 
liaggard  means.  It  will  lie  perceived  that 
there  is  a  hiatus  between  the  first  and  second 
vowels.  To  avoid  this,  many  speakers  insert 
the  consonant  j/,  and  so  we  get  the  pronun- 
ciation Ayisha  or  Avesha.  There  is  no  reason 
whatever  why  Mr.  Haggard's  readers  should 
uot  pronounce  the  name  of  his  fascinating 


heroine  exactly  as  it  is  spelt,  viz.,  aa  a 
syllable,  with  antepenultimate  stress.

of  the  excellent  subject-index  to  the  last

Thomas  Wriothe-slev,  Earl  ok  Sorxn- 
AMiTON.— In  the  biography  of  this  Lord 
Chancellor  (d,  1550J  in  tlie  'D.XB,'  Lxiii , 
there  is  an  error  about  his  daujihter  Anne, 
which  has  not,  I  think,  yet  been  pointed  out. 
It  is  stated  at  p.  152  that  she  "  was  intended 
by  her  fatlier  to  be  the  third  wife  of  Sir  John 
Wallop  (7  »'.).  Wallop,  however,  died  before 
the  marriage  took  place,  and  Anne  seems  to 
have  died  unmarried.'' 

Whether  or  not  she  die<l  unraarried,  it  is 
clear  that  her  fatlier,  the  earl,  did  not  intend 
her  to  be  third  wife  to  Sir  John  Wallop 
('D.N'.B.'Hx.  15S),  who  died  in  July,  1561, 
because — 

1.  Sir  John  Wallop's  second  wife.  Elizabeth, 
daughter  of  Sir  Clement  Harleston,  was 
certainly  alive  when  the  earl  made  his  will 
and  died,  and  she  is  said  to  have  survived 
her  husband.  See  '  Collins's  Peerage  ' 
(Brydges),  iv.  302. 

2.  In  the  earl's  will,  dated  21  Jal\\  1550, 
his  daughter  Anno's  intended  husband  is 
styled  "Mr.  Wallop";  and  "Sir  John  Wallop,

the  authorship  of  the  paraphrase  is  not

LORD    MAVORS   DAY. 
ClO'"  S.  iv.  448.) 

Uow  Lord  Mayor's  Day  came  to  be  changed 
from  29  October  to  9  November  has  been 
dhcuHsed  on  more  than  one  occa>»ion  in 
'  N.  «fe  Q. ' ;  but  the  facta  do  not  appear  to 
liave  been  at  any  time  completely  stated. 
Tiie  question  is  somewhat  involved,  and 
depeu'ls  on  three  Acts  of  Parliament :  the 
Calendar  (New  Style)  Act,  1750(24  Geo.  II. 
c.  5!3) ;  the  Micliaeliuas  Terra  Act,  1750 
(24  Oeorjie  IF.  c  48) ;  and  the  Calendar  Act, 
1751  (25  Geo.  II.  c.  30).  These  are  the  titles 
given  bjjT  the  Short  Titles  Act,  1896,  but  it 
ahonld  be  noted  that  the  Acts  were  in  fact 
paflsed  a  year  later  than  the  titles  indicate. 
Apparently  the  draftsmati  aaved  liimself 
trouble  bj'  attributing  every  Act  to  the 
calendar  year  in  which  the  regnal  year 
commenced.  The  result  is  especially 
ludicrous  in  the  case  of  tiie  last-mentioned 
Act,  which  it«elf  refers  to  the  year  1702  in  no 
fewer  tiian  four  places  as  "  this  present  year," 
or  "this  year." 

By  the  first  of  these  Act^  the  famous 
•'eleven  days"  were  dropped,  and  3  Sep- 
tember, 1752,  became  14  September  ;  but  this 
would  not  of  itself  have  shifted  Lord  Mayor's 
Day,  since  it  was  enacted  that 

"all  meetiiiKi  and  aNsetiililiea  of  any  bodies  |Kililic 
or  cor|ior«le,  either  for  the  tileclioii  of  any  officers 
or  metnliern  thereof,  or  for  any  such  otfiuers  enter- 
ing upon  tlie  execution  of  their  rB8]icctive  offices, 

or   for   any   otiier  |»tiri»ose  whAt83ever,   which 

are  to  bo  holden  iind  kept  ou  any  tixeJ  or  certain 
day  of  aity  month," 

shall  continue  to  be  held  on  tlie  same  nominal 
days  as  at  the  passing  of  the  Act. 

The  change  to  9  November  was,  however, 
made  by  the  second  statute  mentioned, 
passed  shortly  after  the  lir.'^t.  It  was  deenjed 
expedient  to  keep  Michaelmas  Terra  approxi- 
mately to  the  same  period  of  the  year,  not- 
withstanding the  change  of  style,  and  it  was 
therefore  enacted  that  it  should  henceforth 
begin  on  3  November.  But  this  would  have 
made  Ix»rd  Mayor's  Day  out  of  terra,  so  tliat 
again  was  shifted  to  9  November. 

This  account  is  substantially  the  same  as 
the  explanation  given  by  Nemo  at  "'*'  S.  iv. 
49,  as  noted  by  Mr.  Lynn  at  9""  S.  v.  344 ;  but 
no  reference,  I  believe,  has  hitherto  been 
made  to  iho  ceremony  at  the  Guildhall  on 
the  day  previous  to  Ixird  Mayor's  Day.  wliich 
has  also  l>een  the  subject  of  statutory  enact- 
ment. The  Lord  Mayor  was  not  only  "  pre- 
sented   and     sworn"    at     WeatmiuHler    ou 


29  October,  bat  also  "admitted  an*' 
at  the  Guildhall  on  28  October* 
was  overlooked  in  framing  the  M 
Term  Act :  and  obviously  great  inco' 
might  have  been  caused  by  the  in 
twelve  days  which  must  haveela|>«ed  between 
the  two  ceremonies  if  the  Legislature  had 
not  intervened.  In  1752,  therefore,  was  pawed 
the  third  of  the  al>ove- mentioned  Act«,  to 
remedy  tliis  and  other  defects  in  the  two 
previous  statutes.  That  Act  recites  the  fact 
of  the  proceedings  on  28  and  29  October,  the 
provision  above  quoted  as  to  meetings  of 
lx)dies  corporate,^  and  the  enactment  that 
the  Lord  Mayor  is  to  bo  "  presented  and 
sworn  "  on  9  November  ;  and  enacts  that  lie 
shall  be  ''  admitted  and  sworn  "  on  8  Novem- 
ber. Thus  the  two  ceremonies  necessary  to 
the  Lord  Mayor's  assumption  of  otlice  (but 
not  the  date  of  his  election)  were  moved 
forward  by  eleven  days,  though  tliis  cannot 
be  said  to  have  been  the  result,  except 
directly*  of  the  change  of  style. 

F.  W.  Read 

An  interesting  note  in  Mr.  Wheatley's 
monumental  edition  of  Pepys's  '  Diary  '  fully 
explains  the  change  in  this  date.  The 
diarist  had  recorded  on  29  October,  1660,  "I 
up  early  it  being  my  Lord  Mayor's  Day," 
ami  the  following  is  the  note  : — 

"  The  change  of  Lnril  Mayor's  Day  from  tha 
29lh  of  October  to  the  9th  of  November  was  not 
nia<le  by  the  Act  for  reforniini;  the  calendar 
(24  Geo.  II.  c.  '2:i),  but  by  another  Act  of  the  same 
Bcasiun  (c.  48),  entitled  *  An  Act  for  the  Abbrvvia- 
tion  of  Micliaelnias  Term.'  by  which  it  waa  eitaetcd« 
*  that  from  and  after  the  sair]  feMt  of  Hu  Michael, 
which  shall  be  in  Iho  year  17."'2,  the  said  eolemnity 
of  nresenting  and  swuarin^  the  mayor  of  the  city 
of  I.,oDdon,  after  every  annual  election  to  the  said 
ottice,  in  the  manner  and  form  heretofore  used 
on  the  'i9th  Hay  of  October,  shall  be  kept  and 
observed  on  the  ninth  day  of  NovemWr  in  every 
year,  unless  the  same  shall  f<(ll  on  a  Sunday,  and 
ni  that  case  on  tlicdny  following.'" — H.  B.  wheal- 
ley's  '  Pepys,'  i.  251  n. 

It  is  of  interest  to  add  that,  owing  to 
this  change,  all  English  mayors  are  affected, 
though  such  was  not  contemplate^],  for  they 
are  now  chosen,  under  the  Municipal  Cor-

Samitel  Whitchubch,  I'OET  (10"'  S.  iv. 
42»,  51(3).  —  With  reference  to  Principal 
Salmon's  inquiry  about  Samuel  Whitchurch, 
I  may  say  that  he  was  my  huHband's  grand- 
father on  the  mother's  sicle,  and  I  poatiess  a 
small    %'olume  of    his    poeras,    called   •  His- 

Eaniola,  and  other  Poetical  Pieces,'  printeti 
y  Meyler,  Bath,  1804.  He  also  wrote  'The 
Battle  of  the  Dogger  Bank,'  at  which  he 
himself  was  present,  and,  as  G.  F.  R.  B.  men- 
tions, contributed  to  The  Mrmihly  Mmjaziiie 
in  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth  century. 
He  was  an  admiral's  secretary  in  the  Royal 
Navy,  and  it  n  supposed  that  in  later  life  lie 
entered  trade  in  Bath.  He  belonged  to  a 
Somersetshire  family,  and  his  great-uncle 
John  Whitchurch  owned  Nunney  Castle, 
near  Frome,  in  the  middle  of  the  cigliteenth 
,century»  at  the  same  time  that  another 
[Samuel  Whitchurch  was  rector  of  Nunney. 
I  His  father  fought  at  Dettinif  en  and  Fontenoy, 
aa  he  mentions  in  a  poem  otidressed  to  '  My 
Father.'  Tlie  poet  married  a  Miss  Reea, 
whose  father  was  a  friend  of  Coleridge  and 
Sou  they.  M.  E.  S. 

Ben  Joxsox  and  Bacon  (lO""  S.  ii.  469 ; 
iii.  35,  04).— This  is  a  very  interesting  ques- 
tion, and  I  should  be  glad  to  see  what  further 
information  on  the  point  Rawley  pave  to 
Tenison.  But  neither  the  British  Museuni 
nor  the  Bodleian  Catalogue  records  Teiiison's 
'Baconiaua.'  Perhaps  Mr.  Stkonach  will  be 
so  good  as  to  give  particulars  of  the  part  of 
Teniwn's  works  to  which  he  refers— titles, 
vcilame,  page,  edition,  <tc.  Q.  V. 

Spr.iTTiNc  Fields  of  Ice  (10"'  S.  iv.  325, 
395,  454,  513).— To  keep  matters  in  order,  it 
may  be  well  to  say  that  the  passage  from 
Lowell  to  which  Mr.  J  arratt  directs  atten- 
tion is  precisely  that  on  which  this  whole 
discussion  hinges,  The  quotation  and  criti- 
cism of  it  at  the  first  reference  stimulated  all 
that  has  followed.  To  prevent  the  possibility 
of  advancing  a  thing  in  illustration  of  itself, 
it  would  be  useful  if  readers  would  carefully 
examine  all  that  has  previously  been  said 
before  oflFerine  fresh  contributions  to  a 
subject  under  dispute.  Mr.  Jarratt  mean- 
while is  quite  justified  in  hiH  assumption  that 
Lowell  misunderstood  Wordsworth,  and  it  is 
interesting  to  have  his  corroboratior>  of  the 
view  expressed  in  the  initial  note,  which, 
apparently,  he   has    not  seen.     ThomEon's 


growling  river  is  a  different  matter  from  the 
roaring  ice  at  a  time  of  thaw,  to  which  it 
bears  no  resemblance  whatever.  It  may  be 
observed,  however,  that  it  is  not  the  whole 
river,  but  "the  whole  imprison'd  river,"  to 
which  the  poet's  description  refers,  and  that 
what  he  says  is  illustrative  at  once  of  his 
accurate  observation  and  his  felicitous  use  of 
expressive  phraseology.  The  allusion  to  the 
roaring  and  howling  ice  of  'The  Ancient 
Mariner  '  is  apposite  and  useful.

"Famous"  Chelsba  (10">  S.  iv.  360,  434, 
470,  SIT).— Certainly  there  is  a  place  named 
"Ccoleslg"  in  two  MSS.  of  the  '  A.  S. 
Chronicle.'  an.  lOOG.  But,  unluckily,  it  is 
[near  Wallingford,  and  the  modern  name 
happens  to  be  Cholsey. 

What  wereally  wantin not  suggestions,  but 
old  spellings  quoted  from  old  documents, 
liut  this  would  require  reiiearcli,  and  it  is  no 
very  much  easier  to  guess. 

The  spelling  of  charter  No.  CO  in  Birch  is  of 
no  value  at  all  ;  it  gives  *'Ethrelwedi  "  {.tic) 
I  for  .fl-^thelrsedi,  and  "  Persliora '"  (sic)  for  Per- 
scora.  So  it  is  nothing  but  a  late  Norman 
copy,  and  is  misdated.*  The  spelling  in 
No.  247  is  not  *'  Celchyd, '  but  Celchyth  ;  for 
the  </ is  •' crossed."        Waltbh  W.  Skeat, 

It  is  quite  true,  as  Prok.  Skeat  says,  that 
the  two  charter.s  which  1  quoteri  from 
^Thorpewill  be  found  in  Bircli.  But  I  cannot 
[■ee  that  I  repeated  what  Prof.  Skbat  had 
Already  said  "as  if  it  were  new."  Paof. 
8kbat  merely  ahowe<l  that  "Celchyth  "  was 
••famosus"  or  "  celeber,"  while  my  object 
was  to  demonstrate,  for  the  benefit  of  those 
readers  who  had  not  the  leisure  or  the  op|Hir- 
tunity  to  consult  (he  'Cartularium,'  that  the 
reason  for  its  being  "famous"  was  that  so 
many  9yno<ls  were  held  there,  and  iu 
support  of  this  contention  I  gave  particulars 
of  two.  I  did  not  profess  that  tins  infomna- 
tion  was  new,  as  it  is,  of  course,  to  be  found 
in  Birch  or  Thorpe  ;  but  it  was  so  far  new 
that  I  do  not  think  it  has  been  recorded  in 
any  history  of  Chelsea.  I  quoted  from 
Thorpe  because  his  collection  happened  to  be 
the  handiest  at  the  moment. 

A^  regards  *  Cealchyth,"  Prof,  Skeat 
had  pointed  out  that  Mr.  Plummer  had  made 
a  mistake  in  regard  to  this  place.  I  only 
wished  to  assure  myself  that  other  writer.s, 
in  copying  from  the  MSS.,  had  not  done  the 

•  A*  for  •'  Elhcealchjf,"  the  r(h  is  a  vli^vf"! 
French  ntKsllinx  of  A. -8.  irl ;  and  the  A.H.  teriiiiDal

same.  We  now  learn,  on  the  authority  of 
Prof.  Skeat,  unless  1  am  mistaken  in  hi» 
language,  that  there  were  two  different 
place.s.  'Cealchyth'  and  "Celchyth."  each 
of  which  was  celebrated  for  its  synods.  Or 
can  "Cealchyth''  be  a  possible  mistake  of 
the  scribe  for  "Celchyth"! 

With  regard  to  Mr  Addy  s  theory,  there 
can  he  no  doubt  that  the  .second  constituent 
of  the  name  was  "hyth,"  and  not  "ig." 
There  is  no  authority  wnalover  for  the  latter 
ending,  and  Mn.  Addy  merely  repeats  an 
old  guess  of  Bosworth's.  A  place  named 
"Ceolesig"  or  "Ceols-ig"  certaiidy  occurs 
in  the  charters,  but  it  represents  Cholsey,  iu 
Berkshire,  and  in  all  probability  the  first 
constituent  is  not  "  C^ol,"  a  name  theme,  but 
"Ceol,"  a  boat.  The  earliest  mention  of 
Chelsea  after  Domesday  times  that  I  can 
find  is  in  the  '  Calendar  to  the  Feet  of  Fines 
for  Ijondon  and  Middlesex,'!.  2,  under  date 
8  Ivic.  I.  (119C),  where  it  is  spelt  Chelchud'. 
The  transition  to  the  modern  form,  as  I  have 
before  pointed  out.  is  shown  in  the  will  of 
Richard  Laykyn,  mercer,  date<l  15.35,  where 
the  name  is  spelt  Chelseliyth  (Sharpe'a 
•  Calendar  of  Hustiug  Wilis,'  ii.  639).*

Somner,  in  his  'Dictionarium  Saxonico-

is  A.-S.  for  ship.  Bosworth,  in  Ins  ^'A-£5.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


ROMNEY  PORTRArT  (10'||  S.  iv.  410).— The 
flecond  wife  of  Nicholas  Kempe,  of  the  Mint 
and  of  the  Villa,  Chelsea,  was  Anne,  daughter 
and  coheir  of  Mr.  Meriton,  of  Oxford.  After 
tho  death  of  Nicholas  Kempe,  wincli  occurred 
in  1774,  alie  married  Dixon,  tlie  mezzotint 
engraver.  Her  beauty  attracted  many  naen 
of  coiididerable  note  in  their  day  to  the 
Villa,  and  the  entertaining  of  theee  gae-st^ 
seems  to  have  been  the  cause  of  financial 
diflicultiea.  Nicholas  had  mortgaged  his 
stipend  as  bullion  porter  at  tho  Mint,  bub  he 
naan&ged  to  transfer  liit  post  to  his  son 
John,  who  thus  partially  paid  his  father's 
debts  by  service.  T/ie  Gentlanon't  Maffazini;, 
in  obituary  notices  of  Nicholas  Kempe  and 
his  relatives,  states  that  the  children  were 
"alioru  of  their  just  expectations"  by 
Nicholas — in  his  infatuation  for  his  second 
wife  —  leaving  tho  family  estate  and  his 
personal  property  to  her  unreservedly.  This 
»s  nob  in  accordance  with  facts,  for  by  his 
will  (P.C.C.  233  Bargrave),  proved  in  1774, 
lie  left  only  the  income  from  his  residuary 
'estate  to  his  wife  Anne,  with  remainder  to 
his  ihreo  sons  James,  John,  anil  Ttiomas 
Liinburirum  Kempe.  lie  had,  it  seems,  no 
real  estate  to  leave,  but  among  his  effects 
was  a  i)iano  on  wlueh  Haydn  composed  his 
early  works.  Alfred  John  Kempe,  F.S.A., 
a  writer  and  antiquary  of  importance  in  his 
■day,  wa.s  grandson  of  the  above-named 
Nicholas.  He,  as  well  as  his  father,  was  for 
a  time  employed  at  the  Mint,  and  died  in 
184ti,  leaving  little  but  his  good  name  as  a 
provision  for  his  issue.  He  was  buried  with 
liis  beloved  sister,  Ann  Eliza  Ifray,  in  Fulham 
(JhurchyanJ,  where  their  monument  may  be 
«een  wiih  tho  simple  legend  "Brother  and 
sister."

Beli-s  do*'-  S.  iv.  409).— The  bells  in  the 
south  Norman  tower  of  Exeter  Cathedral- 
built,  with   tho  corresponding   one  oo  the 


north  side,  by  William  Warelwast,  U>e  blind 
nephew  of  William  the  Conqueror  (Bishop  of 
Exeter  1107-3G)  — are  reputed  to  be  the 
heaviesb  ringing  peal  in  the  world.  Theirs 
respective  weights  have  been  variously  re- 
corded, and  generally  exaggerated  ;  but  when 
Messrs.  John  Taylor  &  Co.,  the  well-known 
bell-founders  of  Loughborougii,  put  them  in 
order  a  couple  of  years  or  so  ago,  the  weights 
were  obtained  accurately,  and  may  be  de- 
finitely given  as  follows  :  No.  I,  7  cwt.  22  lb.; 
No.  2,"8cwt.  3qr8.  lOlb.  ;  No.  3,  8  cwt.  2qn.; 
No.  4,  10 cwt.  Iqr.  2lb. ;  No.  5,  18 cwt.  4 lb.; 
No.  6,  19  cwt.  19lb. ;  No.  7,  28  cwt.  4  lb. ; 
No.  8,  33 cwt.  2qrs,  lllb.  ;  No.  9,  40  owt. 
3qrs.  191b.;  No.  10,  72 cwt.  2qr8.  2lb.;  Nell 
(the  half  tone),  II  cwt.  1  qr.  8lb. ;  making  a 
total  of  258  cwt.  1  qr.  17  lb.,  ie.  12  tons  18  cwt. 
lor.  171b. 

No  trustworthy  record  of  the  weight  of  the 
great  bell  known  locally  as  Peter  (originally 
ab  Llandaffj,  which  hangs  in  stately  solitude, 
in  the  opposite  tower,  can  be  quotexl  ;  but 
Messrs.  'Taylor  do  not  consider  it  would  turn 
the  scale  at  more  than  80  cwt. 

A  story  was  long  current  (I  had  heard  it 
from  my  youth)  tliat  the  vibration,  when  the 
bells  in  the  south  tower  were  rung,  was  so  great 
that  it  caused  joints  in  the  old  masonry 
to  open  and  shut— so  much  so  that  the  end 
of  one's  coat  might.,  ab  timas,  be  thrust 
between  the  stone-s.  Hence— in  consequence 
of  reputed  danger  to  the  fabric— it  was  only 
on  rare  occasions  the  melodious  notes  of  thesd 
bells  were  heard.  When,  therefore,  on  my 
firstcoming  to  Exeter  in  the  sixties,  I  learned 
that  on  a  given  day  a  pexil  was  to  be  rung, 
I  hastened  to  the  belfry,  anxious  to  test 
the  bi'Uth  of  the  assertion.  But  the  tradition 
appeared  to  be  naught  but  a  fairy  tale.  I  could 
perceive  no  visible  eflfect  upon  the  massive 
stonework  in  qnestion.  Harry  Hkms.

FifLHAM  Bridge  (10""  S.  iv.  509).  —  Tho 
colourefl  print  of  'La  Veue  du  Pont 
do  Fulham  Bridge'  is  probably  that  by 
Chatelain,  of  which  there  is  a  copy  among 
the  engraving-s  in  the  library  of  the  Corpora- 
tion 01  London.  It  is  described  in  the  cata- 
logue thus  :  "'  A  view  of  Fulham  Bridge  from 
Putney.  Chatelain  del.,  Roberts  iciUp." 
J.  B.  Chatelain  was  an  English  artist,  born 
in  London  in  1710,  who,  whenever  his  disso- 
lute habits  permitted, gave  undoubted  proofs 
of  the  excellence  of  his  taste  and  the  readi- 
ne«i8  of  his  invention.  He  was  peculiarly 
successful  in  his  designs  for  landscapes,  some 
of  which  he  engraved.  His  other  engravings 
are  from  the  works  of  Caspar  Poussin  and 
Cortona.  He  died  in  1744.  The  plan  of  the 
bridge,  completed  in  1729,  was  drawn  by 
Cheselden,  the  great  surgeon  (Faulkner's 
'  Fulham,'  p.  C) ;  and   tho  builder  was  Mr. 


Phillips,  carpenter  to  George  II.  Its  cost 
was  23.075/.,  and  it  is  789  ft.  long  and  24  ft.

There  are  so  many  grotesque  stories  as  to 
the  origin  of  this  Christmas  custom  that  it 
is  interesting  to  discover  what  appears  to  be 
the  true  explanation.  According  to  PuricelU 
(chap,  iv.,  '  Dissert.  Nazar.,'  pp.  471-2),

It  was  customary  on  Christmas  nigiit  for 
the  Curia  and  Papal  household  to  be  enter- 
tained at  supper  at  SanU  >Iatia  Maggiore 
at  the  conclusion  of  the  Papal  Mass,  and  it 
devolved  on  the  Cardinal  Bishop  of  Albano 
to  provide  at  his  own  expense  two  boars' 
heads  ("duo  optima  busU  porcorum '")  for 
the  supper.  On  the  death  of  Pope  Inno- 
cent III.,  in  1216.  the  expenses  of  Uiis 
banquet  were  no  longer  paid  for  by  tlie 
cardinal,  but  by  the  reigning  Pontiff. 
Although  the  "«tatio  ad  b.  Manam 
Maiorem"  is  still  held  there  on  C.hristmas 
night,  the  "ca-na,"  alas  !  has  for  many  years 
been  discontinued.

Seven  Sacrament  Fonts  (lO^"^  S.  iv.  .386). 

These  fonts  are  somewhat   rare,  and  are 

chiefly  found  in  Norfolk.  The  finest  of 
those  I  have  seen  was  some  years  ago  in 
the  Cathedral  of  Norwich.    There  are,  I

ever,    examples   in  various  other    parU    of 
KriKiaDfl. 

Mr.  Combe,  in  his  'Illustrations  of  Bap- 
ti>iinal  Fonts'  (usually  called  erroneously 
*  Paley's  Fonts  '),  figures  two  of  them  :  one  at 
Nottleeomlip,  SomersetHhi re,  and  one  at 
Wttlsokeni  Norfolk  ;  and  I  have  sketches*  of 
two  panels  of  one  at  Farningham,  Kent, 
made  for  rae  by  the  late  Mr.  J.  Lewis  Andre 
ID  1890. 

These  fonts  arc  generally  Perpendicular 
work  :  they  are  octagonal.  Seven  of  the 
sides  bear  illustrations  of  the  sacraments  ; 
the  eighth,  often  a  representation  of  the 
Crucifixion.  That  of  Nettlecomhe,  however, 
has  symbols  of  the  blessed  Trinity  on  its 
eighth  panel.  The  sacraments  represented 
are  baptism,  confirmation,  penance,  holy 
Eucharist,  orders,  matrimony,  and  extreme 
unction, 

At  Farninghara  the  last  subject  is  illus- 
trated in  a  very  remarkable  manner  :  the 
wafer  is  l)eing  administered  to  a  person  in 
violent  convulHions.  In  the  sacrament  of 
marriage,  as  represented  on  this  font,  the 
lady  wears  the  headdress  of  tlie  time  of 
Edward  IV.  ;  and  on  the  Nettlecomhe  font 
the  costume  of  all  tho  figures  is  of  the  .iame 
date.  In  all  early  pictures  and  carvings  it 
was  the  custom  of  tho  artist  to  dresj  his 
personages  in  the  coi^tumo  of  his  own  periiid^ 
80  by  observing  the  dresses  on  monuments, 
we  are  enabled  to  fix  the  date  of  them  pretty 
accurately, 

Tiie  font  at  Walsoken  has  this  inscription 
ou  its  stem  :  "  Uemo'ber  !  ye  the  Soul  of  1 
8.    Honyter  I  k     Margaret  [  his     wife  |  and

ing the  de.secration  of  the  sculpture  on  the 
Oofleston  Church  font  upon  "  tlio  notorious 
Will  Dowsing  "  does  not  appear  in  evidence. 
We  know  this  man— whom  tho  Earl  of  Man- 
chaster  appointed  "visitor  of  the  Suffolk 
churches  "in  1643— prided  himself  upon  his 
iconoclastic  performaticos.  But  he  had  lits 
compeers  in  tlie  general  work  of  destruction, 
Mr.  A.  C.  Fryer,  F,S,A.,  in  his  paper '  Uj^n 
Fonts  with  Uenresentations  of  the  Seven 
Sacraments.' to  bo  found  in  vol.  lix.  (Second 
Series,  vol.  ix  )  of  2'/te  ArcUaadogical  Jowntil

in  his  •Joiimar  remark*  of  (iorluton,  *  \V«  did 
deface  the  font  and  the  croea  thereon.'  and  add*  he 
lamented  he  '  could  not  deetroy  the  staiaed  gloaa  in 
the  uprer  windows,  ai  no  one  in  Oorleston  would 
isod  him  a  ladder.'" 


Ancient  fifteenth  and  sixteenth  century 
octagonal  fonts  upon  which  the  sacraments 
are  carved  are  by  no  means  rare.  Ijion  the 
eighth  side  usually  occurs  a  representation 
of  tho  Crucifixion,  but  sometinies  of  the 
bapti.Mni  of  Christ  by  St.  John  Raptist.  In 
two  instances  the  sultject  is  tho  Last  Judg- 
ment. It  is  thus  at  Oorleston.  The  Blessed 
Virgin  and  other  figures  are  introtluced  iuio 
others. 

As  a  modern  instance  of  a  seven-sacrament 
sculptured  font  I  may  add  that  I  placed  one 
in  tlie  church  of  St.  Cuthbert's,  Kensington, 
S.W.,  so  recently  as  1888.        HabBY  Ukms.

In  the  Jounuil  of  the  lloyal  Arcli9?ologicaI 
Institute,  1902,  there  is  given  a  eoinjilete  list, 
an<l  photographs  of  the  examples,  in  EngUod. 
The  nuinbei-8  given  are  in  Norfolk  sixteen,  in 
Suffolk  eleven,  and  in  the  counties  of  Kent 
and  Somerset  one  example  each,  twenty-nine 
in  all. 

In  the  volume  for  190.1  the  fonts  with 
representation  of  the  holy  Eucharist  and 
iioly  baptism  are  morn  fully  described  (with 
photographs)  than  in  the  earlier  volume.  The 
author  of  both  pai)er8  is  Mr.  Alfred  Fryer,

The  church  of  All  Saints,  Marsiiara,  con- 
tains one  of  these  fonts,  in  good  preserva- 
tion. There  is  some  doubt  as  to  what  the 
eighth  panel  represents,  but  I  think  it  i» 
either  Purgatory  or  the  preaching  to  the 
souls  in  Hades.  A.  T.  M.

lion  ia  a  large  one,  he  lias  thrown  ample 
light  upon  it.  The  general,  if  decreasing, 
ignorance  regarding  tlie  English  of  Chaucer 
and  hi.s  contemporaries  must  be  my  plea  for 
the  somewhat  vague  terms  of  the  query-  I 
shall  now  turn  to  the  perusal  of  'The  King's 
Qoair '  with  deepened  interest. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  oar  schools  and 
univeraities  every  advantage  will  be  taken 
of  the  splendid  work  which  has  been  done  by 
rjiOF.  Skeat — the  chief  of  a  capable  band  of 
native  scholars— for  Chaucer  and  Middle 
English  study.  There  are  trustworthy  signs, 
indeed,  that  an  appreciation  of  it  is  rapidly 
growing  among  our  educational  authorities.

Melchior  Guytmckens  (10^''  S.  iv.  4C[), 
537).— In  the  forlies  and  early  fifties  there 
lived  in  Connaught  Terrace,  Hyde  Park,  now 
the  west  .side  of  the  Edgware  Road,  two  old 
maiden  ladies,  the  Misses  Ouydickens.  They 
were  friends  of  my  mother,  and  were  the 
daughters  of  General  Guydickens,  who,  I 
surmise,  was  identical  with  Qustavus  Guy- 
dickens,  the  son  of  Melchior.  They  were 
related  to  the  family  of  Viscount  Tracy,  a 
title  which  is  now  extinct  or  dormant,  I  <]o 
not  know  which.  Lord  Sudeley  is  the 
present  head  of  the  Tracy  family,  and  in  all

PirsCH,  THE  Beveraoe  (10"'  S.  iv.  401,  477, 
531).— In  SSaxon  charters  relating  (o  Hamp- 
shire, Xos.  G74,  787,  0S2(Rircli,  *  C.  S  '),  occur 
the  place  names  'pungciieshyl "  and  dune, 
ic.  The  prefix  survives  in  one  locality  in 
the  names  Punsholt  Farm  and  Lane. 

I  have  in  a  book  on  Surrey  pointefl  out 
that  in  Kostrenen's  Franco-Breton  dictionary 
the  word  '*  Puncgz  "  is  explained  as  a  well  or 
cistern.  There  are  IJoman  remains  in  both 
places  that  might  account  for  tiie  cistern. 

It  apf>ears  to  me  that  the  beverage  was 
probably  introduced  to  the  Dutch  and 
English  marine  by  the  Breton  xailurs  who 
brought  over  the  cargoes  of  "right  Nantes," 
And  that  the  name  came  from  tiie  vessel  in 
which  it  was  brewed.  ►Similarly,  we  now 
talk  of  *'  cup,"  whether  of  claret  or  cham- 
pagne. 

1  fancy  brandy  was  the  first  form  of 
alcohol  to  be  known  commercially  and  apart 
from  bomo  distilling,  and  the  lireton  sailors 
were  famous  in  early  times. 

Punch  as  a  beverage  is  not  so  entirely 
extinct  as  some  of  your  correspondents  seem 
Co  think.     A  well-known  club  of  antiquaries 


strictly  confines  its  after-dinner  potation  to 
it,  wliether  in  town  or  country.  Its  use  has 
been  ruined  of  later  years  by  the  numlier  of 
strong  liqueurs  and  other  abominations  that 
have  been  crowded  into  it,  which  make  it 
extremely  to  be  dreaded.  It  is  evident  that 
the  definition  of  it  as  "a  form  of  lemtmade'' 
was  not  entirely  a  jest,  and  that  ill-results 
were  the  eflfect  of  quantity  rather  than  of 
quality.  RALni  Neviix,  F.S.A. 

There  is  an  amusing  account  of  punch-

In  'Peter's  Letters  to  bis  Kinsfolk'  (the 
date  of  which  is  about  1819),  vol.  iii.  letter 
Ixvii.,  is  a  description  of  a  dinner-party  at 
Glasgow,  in  which  punch  is  a  conspicuous 
feature.  The  sugar  is  melted  with  a  little 
cold  water  ;  then  lemons  are  squeezed  over 
it,  and  the  water  poured  on  it.  It  is  then 
called  sfurfjtt.     Afterwards  rum  is  added.

biographical ;  and  by  a  characteristic  and  idealized 
portrait.  The  introduction  is  an  important  and 
admirably  executed  piece  of  work,  and  will  be 
specially  serviceable  to  the  student  who  seeks  to 
realize  Blake's  position  as  poet  and  dreamer. 
Blake's  sources  of  indebtedness— which  began  in 
Shakespeare,  and  continued  in  Milton — are 
exemplilied,  and  it  is  justly  declared  to  be  an 
iU  day  for  him  when  he  makes  acquaintance  with 
Swejlenborg.  We  have  not,  however,  to  rhapsodiee 
afresh  on  Blake,  but  simply  to  declare  the  edition 
perfect  and  ideal. 

The  two  volumes  which  follow  are,  in  a  Benee^ 
companions,  aiiice  both  are  in  some  fashioo  con- 
cerned with  Wordsworth.  That  rvoot's  jirose 
baggage  is  not  large,  but  is  none  tlie  lea*  not 
inconsiderable.  Poetry  is  a  natural  medium  to  him, 
and  in  his  works  of  long  breath  answers  most  pur- 
pr>ses  of  ]irose.  Without  being  able  to  say  of  niro 
what  is  true  of  (jeorge  Wither,  tiiat  ho  converted 
his  muse  into  a  maid-ofall-work,  he  gave  her  at 
least  a  fair  amount  of  drudgery.  His  preface  and 
aptwndix  to  'Lyrical  Ballads'  contain  ninch  in- 
telligent and  valuable  criliciAm.  We  may  be  par- 
doned for  saying  that,  his  correspondence  with  those 
with  whom  wo  have  enjoyed  intimacy  bridges  over 
for  us  a  century.  In  the  letters  to  Dyce,  which  are 
neither  numerous  nor  long,  we  come  upon  some 
very  interesting  literary  comments.  Dyce  seems  to 
have  presented  Wordsworth  with  many  of  Lbe 
dramatic  texts  he  edited. 

The  "Poems  and  KxiracLs  chosen  by  Word*- 
worth '  are  printed  literally  from  the  original 
album  presented  in  1819  to  Lady  Mary  Liiwther. 
and  have  a  (piaiut  portrait  of  Wordsworth, 
almost  like  a  Roman  emperor  laurel-crowned.  Of 
the  9*2  pages  of  the  M8.,  32  are  occupied  with  L&dy 
Winchilsea.  From  Wither  Wordsworth  takes  the 
immortal  address  to  pootry,  and  some  few  selected 
passages  in  praise  of  his  mistress  from  'The  Mia- 
tress  of  Philarete.'  Other  extracts  are  Webeter'a 
Hue  dirge  from  'The  While  Devil.'  Wallers  'Go, 
Lovely  Rose,'  and  )(oeni9  by  Marvell,  Cowjier,  Pope, 
and  writers  of  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  cen- 
liuies,  ^Vordsworth■8  introductory  sonnet  is  given 
in  facsimile  from  Miss  Hutchinson's  script.  The 
lost  extract  ia  Christopher  iiJniart's  '  iJnos  written 
while  uontined  in  a  Madhouse.'  The  reprint  of  vliis 
volume  is  a  boon  to  lovers  of  literature.

whole  tone  of  llieir  literature  testifies  that,  so  far 
from  such  feelinjjs  being  wanting,  or  lyinj;  torpid, 
Ihey  were  fully  as  active  antl  forceful  as  tliey  are 
anioDK  ourselves,  though  of  course  they  were  far 
leu  fte<iueiitly  put  on  record,  for  the  plain  reason 
that  in  tho»e  days  penyile  rarely  wrote  hooks  merely 
for  the  sake  of  relieving  Iheir  feelings  or  to  make 
■loney.  K  any  one  would  take  the  trouble,  many 
volumes  might  be  compiled  in  proof  of  what  We 
have  said.  The  illuminations  in  the  margins 
of  manuscripts,  the  eniliroideries  on  veslnieiils, 
and,  perhs])*  more  than  all.  the  glorious  srrtdptures 
in  the  churches  scattered  over  the  whole  of  Western 
Europe,  prove  that  the  men  of  those  days  were  far 
more  in  harmony  with  nature  than  the  j^eople 
who  wore  wigs,  (tabblerl  about  their  feelings, 
assumed  a  "melancholy  ileliftht  in  grief,"  and  fell 
into  raptures  over  the  platitudes  of  Rousseau.  \\  e 
have  before  our  eves  evidence  that  our  more  remote 
forefalhera  loveil  flowera.  The  greater  jiart  of 
those  which  ornamented  the  gardens  of  the  Tudor 
lime,  and  which  the  wise  amoiiK  us  still  cherish, 
were  brought  over  from  the  Continent  during  what 
we  cnll  the  ^liddle  Ages,  Shakespeare  and  his 
friends  would  never  have  made  such  good  use  of 
Ihem  had  their  ancestors  been  so  steejwd  in 
niAterialiatic  ignoranco  as  some  of  our  neighbours 
imaxine.  That  the  old  garden-Howers  were  loved 
for  themselves— not  grown  for  display  only  or  as  a 
mere  fashion,  as  ladies  now  wear  bird^'  wings  in 
their  hats— is  proved  by  the  nuniljcr  of  them  named 
after  those  saints  who  were  Lheu  the  objects  of  the 
Iieople'a  devotion. 

When  Herr  Biese  criticizes  the  nature-worship  of 
the  eighteenth  century,  we  are  in  cordial  agreement 
with  iiiin  ;  but  when  he  reaches  iho  revival  of  more 
wholesome  thinking  which  took  place  near  its  close, 
lie  leaves  something  to  be  desired.  Uf  Scott— who 
had  at  least  as  deep  feeling  for  nature  as  Byron  or 
any  other  of  his  contemporariea— he  says  hardly 
anything,  and  yet,  along  with  Bishop  Percy.  Scott 
was  the  reviver  of  ballad  poetry.  The  writer  is 
undoubtedly  correct  in  saying  that  true  "  landscape 
paintihg  only  developes  when  nature  is  sooght  for 
her  own  sake"  ;  but  he  is  equally  wrong  in  assum- 
ing that  in  the  first  centuries  "  painting  was  wholly 
firoacnbed  by  Christendom."  Surely  the  catacombs 
urniah  overwhelming  evidence  to  the  contrary.  It 
is  poMibly  true,  as  the  author  pointi  out.  that 
;Eueaa  Sylvius  (Pope  Pins  II.)  was  the  first  to 
deacribe  nature  "not  nierelv  in  a  few  aubiectivc 
lines,  but  with  genuine  modern  enjoyment  ':  but 
what  are  we  to  say  of  the  more  inspired  of  the 
troubadours  ? 

The  old  terraced  gardens,  with  hedges  of  yew, 
box.  and  holly.  sufTer  hard  treatment  at  the  hands 
of  Herr  Biese.  We  <lo  not  commend  the  mathe- 
matical rigidity  of  these  living  walla  of  verdure, 
ma  they  have  been  called,  and  still  leas  the  towers. 
[i«acocks,  and  eleplutnts  into  which  the  shears  of 
the  gardener  tortured  them  ;  but  there  were  many 
and  great  compensations  when  the  flower-beds  they 
enclu««d,  and  so  completely  screened  from  all  the 
gijee  that  blew,  were  abUw  with  the  brightest 
colour*.  Kven  the  "green  architecture"  itself 
formed  a  pleasant  picture  for  the  eye  to  rest  on 
during  the  long  months  of  our  Northern  winter. 
Much  as  may  be  said  with  justice  against  these 
nattern  gardens,  they  formed  afar  nobler  adjunct  to 
a  gr««t  country  house  than  the  miserable  attempts 
at  landacape  gardening  to  make  room  for  which 
Umj  were  ruthlessly  swept  ftway. 


Tlie  KxlinrtioH  of  the  Ancitnt  Ilierarthy.     By  the 

Rev.  G.  E.  Phillipa.  (Sands  A  Co.) 
TiiK  object  which  Mr.  Phillii>a  has  in  view  ia  to 
prove  that  the  eleven  bishops  who  refused  to  accept 
the  Reformation  in  the  reign  of  Eli?'.abeth  aro 
worthy  to  be  beatified  aa  martyrs  of  the  Chriatiai> 
faith.  The  matter  has  already  been  moote<l  at  Rome, 
and  the  writer,  who  is  a  Roman  Catholic,  con- 
siders that  their  caune  would  be  advanced  by  a  pub> 
licalion  of  their  sulTeringit  in  a  popular  form.  He 
endeavours  to  show  that  the  "persecution"  to 
which  they  were  subjected  was  of  such  a  cruel  and 
severe  character  that  it  involved  not  only  th« 
suffering,  but  also  the  death,  of  its  victims.  He  has 
carefully  searched  the  State  Papen)  and  other  con- 
temiHirary  documents  for  evidence  of  this  vindictive 
t>erse(.'Ution,  aiui  the  pregenl  reviewer  can  only  con- 
clude that  he  boa  failed  to  prove  his  case.  Beyond 
a  certain  anvnunt  of  such  fiersonal  inconvenience 
as  was  inevitalile  in  the  circumstances,  the  non- 
conforming bishops  do  not  seem  to  have  hod  much 
cause  to  complain.  Mr.  PhillipH  certainly  fails  to 
produce  any  delinile  instance  of  torment  or 
vindictive  ill-treatment  having  been  inflicted  on 
them.  The  u!<ual  course  seems  to  have  been  to. 
place  the  recalcitrniit  as  a  "i>aying  guest"  in  tho- 
house  of  one  of  the  bishops  who  had  been  appointed 
to  the  vacant  see  and  wav  held  responsible  for  liia 
safekeeping.  He  shared  the  same  table  as  hie  host, 
and  on  the  te-stimony  of  Bislioxv  Andrewes  "  lived 
in  plenty,  in  ease,  and  without  discomfort."  This 
perhajis  is  saying  too  much,  as  such  enforced  com- 
panionship may  often  have  proved  irksome,  and 
communication  with  his  co  -  religiouists  was  for- 
bid<leii,  though  apparently  not  very  strictly,  aa  Bon- 
ner was  |)«rmittea  to  receive  visila  from  the  Pojw'a 
envoy  and  others,  and  Tuiietall  had  tbe  last  ritea 
administered  to  him  by  one  of  his  own  Church. 
They  were  allowed  to  take  their  seat  in  Parliament, 
and  record  their  votes  against  the  (lovernment ; 
one  at  least  was  alKiwed  to  go  free  lor  a  twelve- 
mile  radius  round  his  dwelling.  Of  course,  any 
curtailment  of  ])ersonnl  freedom,  even  in  loose 
custody,  may  be  called  "  imprisonment ''—.Sander 
picturesijiiely  calls  it  being  "thrown  into  chains" 
li;i  vinrula),  and  speaks  of  Tunstall  dying  "it* 
rigido  carcere" — but  it  seems  hardly  fair  to  term  it 
"slow  ntartyrdom"  which  caused  their  dealh,  or  to 
say,  as  Cardinal  Allen  does,  that  they  were  "  tor- 
mented and  slain."  It  is  characterislie  that  the 
author  alleges  it  as  a  part  of  the  "special  suffer- 
ing "  of  Tunstall  that  he  wa!«  forced  to  company 
with  Archbishoji  Parker  and  that  Ac  irn*fi.  mnrriat 
mail"  Ip.  132).  He  also  notes  as  of  sinister  imttort- 
ance  thalfuiec/tf/cHU  "died  of  ihoBlone,  having  lived 
trilh  the.  Biiho/j  of  Lou'loii"  (italics  tho  author's^ 
p.  IM>.  as  if  by  some  subtle  malignity  the  one  fact 
was  the  cause  of  the  other.  It  is  similarly  unfair 
to  aasume  that  their  custody  cau^d  their  death 
because  it  ensued  within  a  few  years,  most  of 
these  bishoiis  having  been  already  men  of 
advanced  age  on  their  deprivation,  one  of  them 
over  eighty-five.  Yet  this  is  what  Mr.  Phillips 
does.  Again,  after  such  phrases  as  "  it  is  impossible 
to  doubt"  (p.  149),  "'we  may  bo  certain  that" 
(p.  3l'i),  "  nothing  can  be  judged  more  likely  than 
that  his  [Oglethorpe's]  death  wa.s  really  hastened 
by  the  sufferings  of  his  confinement  "'(p.  HI),  it  ia 
not  ingenuous  to  rnake  the  admission  that  "in 
the  case  of  Bp.  White  of  Winchester,  there  ia 
no  reason  for  supposing  any  actual  torture  to 
have    been    tiaed    upon    him"   (p.   96).     ^«>  V*

"COMUlNli"  "GAMIJO.' 
The  former  word,  which  lias  developftd 
sach  starllinn  connotations  in  our  time,  is 
derive<l  by  the  'N.E.D.'  either  cUiectly  from 
late  Latin  cmnhinare  (c'jii-i-/jini),  or  indireclly 
from  tlio  name  source  through  llie  French 
comhiHfr.  The  EiiRlisIi  word  has  been  traced 
back  to  the  fourteenth  century,  and  the 
French  to  tlio  thirteentli.  Tlie  Latin  form 
is  found  in  St.  Augustine  and  Sidonius  (a 
native  of  Gaul),  and  in  glossaries.  As  fchere 
are,  1  bolieve,  no  analogous  formations  in 
Latin,  I  venture  Ui  suggest  a  Celtic  origin 
for  litis  very  interesting  word._ 

That  origin  may  bo  found  in  eonibenttofus 
("  those  who  sat  in  the  same  Ijennn  were  called 
rontlennOMi,  Feat,  p.  2"  ;  cf.  Comment., 
p.  347.  A  wagon  of  wicker  or  ba^^ket  work 
IS  Htill  cnllerJ  bniDu  in  Belgium,  and  Unne  in 
Switzerland,"  liCwisand  Short's  'Lat.  Diet.'). 
M<n  and  hfn  are  the  Welsh  forms  ;  but  there 
ia  a  third  form  in  Welsh,  more  to  the  point, 
to  wliich  I  Bhall  return  presently. 

It  is  well  known  that  tho  Latin  term 
eovinus  or  tuiunnUK  ia  derived  from  a  Celtic 
word  which  slill  survives  in  common  uso  in 
Welsh  ill  the  verbal  form  (ijimin.  In  the 
everyday  life  of     WcUb  hill-^idu  farm  there  in 


no  more  important  moment  in  the  small  boy's 
existence  than  when  he  is  first  allowed  cifW'iin 
(Ttoair  ("to  carry  the  hay'),  through  the 
narrow  lanes  from  meadow  to  rick-yard,  in  a 
car  llui-j  ("  drag  cart"). 

In  The  Spectator  of  5  Sept ,  1903  (p.  342) 
Sir  William  Laird  Clowes  gave  some  interest- 
ing extracts  from  tlie  MS.  letters  written  by 
James  Cobb,  secretary  to  the  East  India 
Company,  during  two  long  driving  lours  in 
1S15-1G.     "In  Wales,"  says  Sir  William, 

"Uobb  noticed  what  lie  Look  lo  \te  an  ingenious 
device  for  cvadinK  the  lax  on  wheeled  vobiclcs.  It 
consisted  of  a  framework  like  the  abafu  of  a  one- 
horse  chaise  joined  toKether  by  two  or  three 
traverse-btiards.  The  rear  ends  of  llie  F<hafts  were 
shod  and  rounded,  and  rented  ui>oti  ilie  ({round. 
The  driver  sat  iniiuGdiately  behind  his  home  upon 
tlie  traverse- board,  whence,  if  he  liked,  he  could 
atep  forward  and  mount  wiliiout  first  descending 
to  the  ground." 

I  need  not  enlarge  on  this  as  a  capital 
instance  of  the  proneness  of  Englishmen  to 
misjudge  tho  Welsh  character.  Clowes  evi- 
dently believed  in  this  tax-evading  trick. 
Had  he  looked  up  'Cart'  in  'The  Penny 
Cyclopaedia,'  he  would  have  found  that 

"Ihe  drag-cart  without  wheels,  which  is  used  ia 
sonic  mountainous  districts,  is  one  of  tlie  ainiplest 
contrivances  for  transporting  heavy  weights.  It 
consists  of  two  stronR  |H)les,  from  twelve  lo  fifteen 
feet  lonR.  connectc>d  by  cross  iiiecos  fixed  at  right- 
aoRles  to  then),  by  niorticinK  or  pinning,  so  that  tlie 
poles  may  he  two  or  three  feet  apart.  About 
eighleen  inches  of  the  poles  project  beyond  the 
lowest  cross-piece,  tho  ends  resting  on  the  gronnd. 
The  oilier  ends  uf  the  poles  form  the  Khafts  for  the 
horse  to  draw  by.  The  load  is  placed  on  the  cross- 
pieces,  over  which  boards  are  sometimes  nailed,  for 
the  purpose  of  carrying  stonea,  or  such  things  as 
might  fnll  through  between  the  cross-bars.  The 
horse  bears  one  end  of  the  drag-cart  bv  means  of  a 
common  cart-collar  or  a  breast-slrap.  This  veliiL-lo 
ia  extremely  useful  in  sleep  and  rough  descents, 
especially  to  draw  stones  from  quarries,  and  can  bo 
made  of  roueh  poles  at  little  or  no  ex])en8e.  Pieces 
of  hard  woo<l  Htted  under  the  ends  of  llie  poles,  and 
renewefl  as  they  wear  out,  will  ]irevent  I  lie  ends  of 
the  drag  cart  from  wearing  away,  and  will  allow  ib 
to  slide  along  more  easily. 

That,  with  the  addition  of  upright  poles  with 
their  several  cross-poles  fitted  into  the  shafts 
at  right  ang1e.s  to  the  fore  and  rear  cross- 
pieces,  is  an  exact  description  of  a  car  lluty 
("  drag-cart")  as  familiarly  known  to  me  iu 
my  boyhood  fifty  years  ago  in  Wales.  The 
most  noticeable  part  of  it  was  the  shafting, 
formed  of  entire  young  trees,  like  the  Uonmii 
valU.  These  poles,  too,  are  the  most  |ii-omi- 
nent  part  of  the  old  Irish  cur,  which  is  fully 
dfscnljed  in  the  same  article  in  *  The  Penny 
Cj'clo media,'  where  tho  inletesting  statement 
is  made  that  "  the  wheels  of  the  carriages  Qt\

those  of  the  Iriali  car."  Pliny  ('N.H.,'  xviii, 
72)  gives  tlie  earliest  extant  account  of  a 
European  roapingmachiue  tijus  rendered  in 
tlie  article  '  Reaping  '  in  'Chambers's  Eucy- 
clop^^dia' :  — 

"  In  the  extensive  fields  in  the  lowlands  of  Gaul 
%-an8  [?]  of  larKu  size,  with  projecting;  teelii  on  the 
edge,  are  driven  on  two  wheels  through  the  stand- 
iniBT  corn  by  an  ox  yoked  in  a  reverse  position.  In 
this  manner  the  ears  are  torn  off,  and  f«U  into  tiie 
van." 

Pliny'a  word  translated  "  vans "  is  vaUi. 
The  illustrative  cut  from  VVoodcroft's 
*  Appendix  to  the  .Specifications  of  Kng. 
Patents'  is,  I  think,  quite  wrong. 

The  Irish  car  figured  in  'The  Penny 
Cyclopsedia'  article  above  referred  to  would 
be  more  like  what  Pliny  calls  vallum  than 
the  V  shaped  projection  in  Rich'.s  'Diet,  of 
R.  and  G.  Antiquities,'  as  I  think  will  be 
clearly  seen  from  the  following  rough  trans- 
lation of  Palladius,  '  De  Ro  Ruslica,'  vii  : — 

"In  the  lowlands  of  Gaul  they  abridjje  the  task 
of  reapiiiR  in  the  foUowiui;  manner,  ivhich  does 
away  with  the  need  of  labourers,  and  cumpletea 
the  entire  o]ieration  by  the  helj)  of  a  xiiisJe  ox. 
A  two-wheeled  car  is  made  whose  four-siiled  floor  is 
edj;ud  with  boards  sinning  outwards,  so  as  to  in- 
crease its  capacity.  The  board  at  the  forward  end 
is  *hallower,  to  which  uumemus  rea])inj{-hook(i. 
with  their  points  curving  upwards,  are  attaclied, 
and  adjusted  to  the  heii;ht  of  the  standing  corn. 
At  the  tail  vf  tiie  car  two  short  poles  {/cmouts}  are 
ehaped  like  the  handles  of  a  litter,  to  which  an  ox 
is  yoked  and  harnessed,  with  his  head  towards  the 
vehicle.  He  is  8o  thoroughly  broken  in  to  tlie  work 
that  be  ohevs  the  driver's  sliKhteRt  motion.  As 
soon  as  the  latter  turns  his  r.iachine  into  the  stand- 
ing oroji,  and  proceeds  to  raise  and  lower  the  hooks 
from  beliiiid.  ho  as  to  catch  llie  corn-eara  only,  dis- 
regardiiiii  the  straw,  every  ear,  as  it  is  caught  and 
cut,  drops  into  the  lieap  in  the  car,  and  the  entire 
field  is  rapidly  reaped  in  a  few  turns  of  the  machine 
back  and  foie  across  it.  Thi«  plan  is  well  adapted 
to  flut  an<l  level  ground,  aud  where  the  Straw  is 
considered  of  no  value." 

Tiie  original  is  by  no  means  free  from 
difficulty.  I  luay  add  that  Mr.  Mark  Liddell 
has  recently  edited  the  fifteenth  -  century 
English  verso  translation  of  the  work, 

iJere  it  is  not  diflicult  to  explain  Pliny  and 
Palladiua  from  each  other.  The  latter's 
leinones  are  simply  I'liny's  valli,  whicli  were 
for  this  special  service  more  carefully  fiiushcd 
than  was  usual,  for  the  double  reason  that 
the  animal  would  be  yoked  to  them  in  a 
special  way,  and  that  the  carter  would  be 
cont^tantly  liandling  one  of  them  a.s  ho  walked 
beside  the  o\{n'jt  sitting  on  the  front  of  the 
car,  as  in  VVoodcroft's  cut),  thus  reminrling 
Palladius  of  the  handles  of  a  litter.  This 
Gaulish  reaping  car,  then,  which  Palladius 
calls  carjicnluin  (its  GauHtih  name  in  all  pro- 
hihilirv — the  corresponding  Welsh   word   is 


cerbijd),  is  what  Pliny  calls  vallum,  from  the 
fact  that  it  was  a  wheeled  adapiatiou  of  the 
drag-cart. 

In  the  'N.ED.'  the  Welsh  dragcart  U 
called  a  fjaviLo,  or  rather,  the  rmvifjo  is 
explained  as  a  drag-cart  on  the  authority  of 
Downes,  the  author  of  'The  Mountaiu 
Decameron.'  I  have  already  (in  LiUrntut«, 
13  Oct.,  ItiOO,  'The  Sin-Eater  in  South 
Wales ')  said  that  Downes  nowhere  shows  any 
familiarity  with  the  modes  of  life  and 
thought  of  the  Welsh  peasantry  ;  and  his 
use  of  the  word  </a»jVjo  for  the  drag  oart  i^ 
an  instance  of  that  lack  of  familiarity.  The 
South  Wales  ;/aw(tci  is  like  the  "Seoteh  carl 
with  movable  frame"  figured  under  tlie 
article  '  Uart '  in  '  Chamlwrs's  Encyclopn?tli».' 
Had  the  editors  of  the  'N.E  D.*  known  that» 
they  might  probably  have  attaclied  more 
imi)ortance  than  they  seem  to  have  done  to 
the  form  "agambo"  of  "akimbo"  when 
dealing  with  the  latter  word.  The  croaking 
out  of  the  arms,  almost  at  right  angles  to  the 
shoulders,  is  an  easy  metaphor  from  the 
lateral  projection  of  a  loaded  gamboouits 
movable  frame.  The  quotation  for  *' agambo' 
in  the  *N.E  D.'  is  from  IJulwer,  the  "chiro- 
sopher  "  (seventeenth  century). 

As  a  proof  tliat  the  sole  authority  of  the 
'N.E.D.'  for  de.scribing  ijitmUt  as  a  wheelless 
vehicle  is  wrong,  and  ihat  I  am  right,  I  need 
only  adduce  the  evidence  of  a  competent 
witness— David  Owen  ("Brutus").  In  his 
witty  but  coar.se  attack  on  the  Weluh  Div 
.senting  ministry,  MVil  Rrydydd  y  Coed,'  he 
gives  a  burlesQue  sermon  on  the  **  wheel  "  of 
the  prophet  Ezekiel,  "This  wheel  it  is,' 
cries  the  preacher,  "that  drives  .the  gambo 
of  salvation  !  '  The  phra-so  ^subsequently 
enjoyed  an  extensive  circulation  as  clerical 
slang  in  Wales.  Some  years  after  the  appear- 
ance of  *Wil  Brydydd  y  Coed'  in  the//riu/ 
(1863-5\  there  was  a  large  clerical  gathering 
at  Abergwili  (or  Carmarthetj),  under  the 
presidency  of  Bishop  Thirl  wall.  The  Rev.  JF. 
Jones,  of  Llansadwrn,  an  eloquent  and 
popular  divine,  was  a])pointed  to  preach. 
He  happened  to  take  tor  Ida  text  the  very 
.same  verse  of  Ezekiel  that  the  greut  "  Wil" 
had  preached  from.     Instantly  ,n  in 

spread  over  every  face,  and  an  an  ■.<:^Tt 

that  no  amount  of  blowing  of  noies  or  tits  nf 
cooghing  could  conceal,  ran  thrimgh  the 
reverend  assembly.  '"fhe  bishop  lnoktsi 
puzzled  and  displeased,"  luy  informant,  who 
was  present,  told  me. 

I  have  written  at  much  greater  length  than 
I   had   intended  ;  but  I   have  sn         "    '    '

FIRST  BOOK  AUCTIONS   IN  ENGLAND. 

(See  9»''  B.  vi,  86s  150. 31 »,  391) 
That  Dr.  L.  Searaan's  sale.  31  Oct.,  Ifi76, 
was  the  first  book  auction  in  England  cannot, 
I  think,  be  doubted.     In  the  preface  to  this 
catalogue  the  auctioneer  says  : — 

"  ll  liaih  not  been  usual  here  in  EngUnd  to  make 
Sale  of  Books  by  way  of  Auction,  or  wlio  will  give 
nioBt  for  them:  But  it  having  been  practiseci  in 
other  Countreys  to  the  Advantage  both  of  Buyers 
and  iSeUem  ;  It  was  therefore  conceived  (for  the 
Encourngement  of  Learning  )  to  publish  the  Sale  of 
these  lioukei  this  manner  of  vroy;  and  it  is  hoi>ed 
that  thia  will  not  be  unacceptable  to  tschollers." 

On  p.  30  of  W.  Rea*s  auction  catalogue, 
19  June,  1082,  the  auctioneer,  W.  Cooper, 
gives  a  complete  list  of  Males  by  auction  up  to

LONDON   IMPROVEMENT. 

( Concluded  from  p.  2. ) 

The  new  Courts  of  Justice  form  a  grand 
group  at  the  City  boundary  formerly  marked 
by  Temple  Bar,  there  .seen  no  longer.  The 
Courts  have  made  a  last  stand  for  Gothic» 
and,  so  far  as  the  appearance  of  the  metro- 
jjolis  is  concerned,  with  great  success;  but 
equal  satisfaction  seems  not  to  have  beea 
found  with  the  interior  accommodation. 

Railway    stations    iieces.sarily    take    their 
places  among  the  prominent  erections  since 
the  forties.      The  conditions  impo.sed  on  them, 
render    their     architecture     difficult.      An. 
clovation  towards  the  street  is  practicable, 
but   this  forms  only   a  screen    to   hide   tlie- 
purely   atilitariftii   character  of  the   railway 
rear.     Great  attempts   have   l>een    made   at 
Paddington,  Charing  Cross,  Cannon  Street, 
Liverpool  Street,   and    St,    Pancra.s.      Their 
stylo,  witli  the  excei)tion  of  the  last  named,, 
is  perhaps  a  kind  of  colossal  Italian.     That 
at    Chiiring  Cross   seems    to  apologize   for 
ttH  intrusion   into  an    historic    locality   by 
exhibiting  a  costly  reproduction  of  the  former 
Gothic  memorial  to  the  "Chore  Ifeine"  with. 
whom  willing,  but  mistaken  conjecture  lias 
a.saociated  the  local  name.      At  fcjt.  Pancras 
a  bold  attempt  was    made   to  show   that   a- 
medin-val  form  might  be  given  to  an  erection 
of  the  railway   period,   and   very  jiandsomo- 
the  elevation   is;    but    when   a  glimpse   is. 
caught  of  the  practical  rear  the  forced  bleud 
of  associations  is  not  happy. 

Trafalgar  Square,  "  the  finest  site  ia. 
Europe,'  is  now  almost  old.  The  architecture 
of  the  Regency  in  tlie  National  Gallery  is  not 
much  esteemed,  hut  its  situation  savea  it.. 
The  effigy  of  Nelson  makes  somewhat 
strange  use  of  tlie  colo.H8aI  Corinthian 
column  ;  but  it  has  become  .sacred  to  ti.e 
nation's  hero,  and  woe  to  the  uedile  wlio 
would  molest  it !  Landseer's  lions,  too,, 
are  there ;  and  around  the  famous  little 
admiral  other  heroes  have  mustered.  XVv^- 
fountains     are     still     uicCk^re,    ^wA.,    V^^^^.

tho  oilier  ornamental  waters  of  the  capital, 
«wait  the  con«uiumation  of  a  greater 
supply.  The  moat  beautiful  feature  of  the 
square— the  portico  and  spire  of  St.  Martin's 
— has  been  in  difficulties,  owing  to  the  narrow- 
oess  of  the  street  afLer  the  building  of  the 
National  Portrait  Gallery  ;  but  .St.  Martin's 
has  happily  not  sutt'ered.  Poor  Kinji  Charles, 
representoti  by  hi'j  mounted  eHigy,  calmly

Mall,  greatly  wi(iened  and  l)eautilie<l  since 
'his  last  sad  paratie  aloni;  it.  "  Her  Majesty's," 
«s  we  knew  it  in  the  days  of  Gri^i,  Mario, 
and  Lablache,  has  gone,  and  "His  Majesty's,"' 
a  fine  new  theatre,  stands  on  part  of  the  site. 
Opposite  is  the  old  house  "  the  Haymarket," 
•dear  in  our  memories,  and  now  clean  and 
virile  iu  new  paint ;  and  the  Haymarket 
f)ropcr  is  handsomer  and  l>ett-cr  in  cliaracter. 
llegent  Street  of  the  llegency  has  held  its 
•own,  and  is  still  the  fine  street  of  the  West 
End  ;  but  the  houses  otico  thought  stately  are 
being  dwarfed  bv  those  on  the  newer  and 
jgrander  scale,  'fhe  Quadrant  Colonnade— 
wliich  was  the  pri<le  uf  its  day,  ami,  indeed, 
was  unique  and  handsome— had  had  but 
thirty  years  of  existence  when  removed  at 
the  close  of  the  forties.  It  was  regretted, 
•bat  its  lesthetic  value  diii  not  compensate 
the  practical  merchant  for  inconveniftnce 
8uffere«l  iu  its  classic  .shade.  A  few  of  its 
iron  Doric  nillars  have  remaineti  in  the 
-openings  to  l>y  streets  ;  but  these,  too,  will 
probably  follow  their  departe<l  fellows  in 
the  immense  clearance  now  being  made  of 
at.  James's  Hall  and  adjoining  buildings, 
the  successors  to  which  we  await  with  much 
interest.  The  new  monster  block  to  be 
•reat-ed  will  also  have  much  to  do  with 
Piccadilly,  which  famous  thoroughfare  has 
during  the  contemplated  -space  of  years  seen 
several  new  erection.s,  that  perhap-i  of  para- 
mount interest  being  the  increased  elevation 
of  Burlington  Ilousu^  the  home  of  art,  a 
■work,  of  course,  not  approved  by  all  critics. 
The  Loudon  University  uuildings  at  the  rear 
of  Burlington  House  are  worthy  of  a  more 
prominent  site. 

The  grand  Place  opened  out  at  Hyde  Park 
-Corner  had  attention  in  my  former  note,  yet 
as  the  just  pride  of  Londoners  one  is  tempte<i 
to  return  to  it.  In  its  tine  curve<i  roads 
of  liljeral  width,  and  intervening  ornamental 
spacer,  it  is  not  only  worthy  of  a  great  city, 
but  also  an  example  of  eflicient  control  of  the 
tremendous  tratlic  of  London  at  a  moetiug- 
place  where  it  ha<l    threatene*]    to    become 

'• ^•■■-'r»ablc.      The   Iron   Duke   who   here 

is   le-ss  colossal,  but  more  artistic, 
I'ormer  presentment,  now  placed  at 


'  Aldorshot ;  and  the  handsome  arch  of  Deeima« 
1  Burton,  no  longer  encumlwred  by  the  ponder- 
ous statue,  has  been  raovoil,  ston  -  nc, 
I  and  now  stands  with  greater  ine;i  he 
gate  of  the  I'alace  avenue.  Consti;  .  Mill. 
The  young  trees  are  already  an  eviii  m:  .  lini- 
ment, and  will  in  a  few  years  a  lil  j;»«-*»t 
beauty  tn  "Hyde  Park  Corner"— tlie  old 
name,  which  is  now  anomalous,  but  which 
we  hope  will  always  be  retained. 

Notliing  can  be  more  interesting  to  the 
Londoner  than  to  observe  —  say  from  tlie 
roof  of  an  omnibus  —  the  gradual  trans- 
formation or  rebuilding  taking  placo  along 
the  route.  He  is  pained  sometimes  by  the 
removal  of  houses  and  public  edifice.s  which 
have  become  obsolete,  but  to  which  long  fami- 
liarity had  attached  him.  He  ha.s  even  seen 
with  regret  the  nulling  down  of  the  massive 
walls  of  sullen  old  Newgate  Prison.  On  the 
site  has  risen  a  stately  new  Criminal  Court. 

East  of  Newgate  we  now  find  a  large 
vacant  space  where  once  we  watched  the 
blue-gowned,  yellow-stockinge<l  boys— suc- 
cessors of  the  Grey  Friars— in  their  play- 
ground fronting  tlie  famous  school  now 
transferred  to  Horsham.  The  great  aridition 
to  the  Post  Office  which  is  to  rise  here  wilJ 
scarcely  be  of  equal  interest. 

Along  the  main  thoroughfare*  we  mark 
the  mixing  of  the  old  and  the  tiew,  the 
contrast  between  the  housing  and  trade 
requirements  of  the  pa-st  and  the  present. 
The  small  old  houses  with  venerahle  li\ed 
roofs  fwep  out  behind  grand  new  {rot\Ui 
with  huge  plate-glass  wiiidow.t,  or  are 
squeezed  hetween  modern  blocks  of  immense 
magnitude.  In  this  the  progre^ss  of  the  age 
is  seen,  and  also  the  deliberate  and  law^I 
action  of  a  free  people.  Thus  bit  by  bit 
London  is  slowly  renewed,  and  is  grori'aally 
winning- as  this  very  brief  and  inipfilfect 
survey  may  have  tendtnl  to  show— a  place  In 
the  first  rank  of  beautiful  cities.

New  Ykar  Luck.— Some  peculiar  things 
are  atill  done  with  the  iticoruing  of  the  new 
year.  To  ensure  luck  to  herself  during  the 
present  year,  and  also  to  the  hou.se  where 
tor  the  time  ^hc  lives,  the  servant  of  one  of 
my  noigiilwurj  tied  a  piece  of  string  to  a 
lump  of  coal  just  before  midnight  of  the  old 
year,  laid  the  string  across  the  doorsill,  and 
afterwanls.  as  the  clock  at  the  church  was 
striking  the  hour  of  twelve,  opened  the  door. 
As  Doon  an  the  last  stroke  sounded,  she 
pulled  the  piece  of  coal  into  the  house,  in 
this  way  making  sure  tliat  something  came 
into  the  bouse  before  anything  was  taken 
out  of  it.  This  bringing  in  ensured  good 
luck  all  the  year.  If  anything  had  gone  out 
first — herself,  for  instance  — the  year  would 
bring  luck  njore  or  less  of  a  serious  nature. 

An  old  man  who  was  in  service  at  one  of 
the  greater   houses    near    hero    made    it    a 

Sractice  for  fifty  years  <up  to  the  year  of  liis 
eath)  to  brit)g.  on  the  last  stroke  of  twelve 
•4  the  year  died,  something  into  the  house— 
a  log  of  wood,  a  bushel  of  corn,  or  a  skopful 
of  s<mic  farm  protluce  ;  and,  as  my  informant 
(a  l«iv,  by  tlm  way)  said,  there  was  always 
lack  during  tiio  thirty  yeara  or  so  she  had 
known  tliat  house. 

1  remember  as  a  lad  in  Derbyshire  how  on 


several  occasions,  when  the  old  year  passed 
away,  the  door  was  thrown  oi>en,  and  the  head 
of  tiie  house  stood  bareheade<l  in  thedoorway, 
the  rest  of  us  standing  behind,  while  one  of 
the  men,  by  arrangement,  brought  something 
over  the  doorstone.  before  anything  or  any 
one  went  out.  The  bringer-in  took  something 
out  when  he  went  away,  thus  making  the 
year's  luok  certain  both  ways.

quoted  by  AFr.  Pukford  at  lO""  S.  iv,  376, 
form  the  first  of  four  stanzas  of  a  rime  by 
George  Chatt,  a  Norlhurabrian  verse-writer. 
The  piece  is  to  be  found  ou  p.  53  of  hi* 
'Miscellaneous  Poems'  (Hexham.  1S6GV 
Chatt  was  the  son  of  a  farmer,  and  wa-s  by 
turn  agricultural  labourer,  private  soldier, 
and  journalist.  He  riieil  at  Cockermoutli  on 
H  November,  18(K).  after  having  edited  J'he 
Wtst  Cumberland  2'imet  for  about  sixteen 
years.  A  Hexham  antiquary  told  me  re- 
cently that  a  local  vicar— new  to  the  district 
—  once  gave  great  offence  to  the  Elsdon 
folks  by  quoting  the  rime  in  his  cliurcii 
magazine.  This  may  be  the  source  of  Mr.

'Charlie,  He's  my  DARLt?fo.'— The  alert 
and  definitive  authorities  who  furnish  reader* 
of  the  newspapers  with  literary  iiifoTmation 
have  just  circulated  a  report  that  Mr.  T.  V. 
Henderson  has  traced  "ISurns's  'Charlie  is 
my  Darling' '  to  its  source.  Mr.  Henderson, 
ever  since  he  wrote  with  Mr.  Henley  regard- 
ing the  Scottish  poet,  has  been  considered  a 
leading  factor  in  the  movement  by  which 
Burns  is  to  bo  proved  merely  an  outcome, 
and  not  an  original  force.  What  he  himself 
has  intimated  on  the  subject  may  probably 
corao  up  for  consideration  hereafter  ;  mean- 
while, it  may  not  be  amiss  to  say  a  word  on 
the  misleading  slalomenb  that  has  boeu

my  Darling  '  is  by  Lady  Nairne,  and  there  is 
no  aong  under  the  same  title  aHsociated  with 
Burns,  'Chdilie,  He's  my  Darling,'  being 
that  which  lia^  been  doubtfully  assigneri  to 
him  by  some  of  his  editors.  Secondly,  Burna 
never  claimed  this  particular  lyric  as  his,  and 
there  is  nothing  ia  it  that  is  indicative  of  his 
manner.  lie  sent  it,  as  he  sent  other  anony- 
TQOus  things,  to  Johnson's  Mimical  Muteum, 
aud  it  has  been  gratuitously  asHumed  that, 
"  as  it  was  never  seen  in  print  before,"  it  may 
fairly  be  claimed  as  his  own  composition. 
This  uncritical  judgment  is  very  unjust  to 
the  poet's  memory,  and  it  furnishes  a  special 
opportunity  for  such  conclusions  as  Mr. 
Henderson  s  followers  are  ready  to  draw  from 
the  results  of  his  investigations.  Tlie  pro- 
bability', however,  is  that  what  has  been 
discovered  is  the  original  Jacobite  lyric  of 
which  that  given  in  the  Afusiral  Museum  is 
a  version,  and  if  so  it  will  bo  interesting  to 
see  whether  or  not  Burns  edited  his  material. 
That  is  absolutely  all  that  can  como  of  this 
portentous  revelation.  So  far,  the  poet's 
laurels  remaia  untarnished.

PirM-iN  OR  Pjgkox  E.n'olish  —Can  any  on© 
tell  when  this  appellation  came  into  use  ?  I 
seem  to  remember  it  in  1864,  but  no  quotation 
has  been  sent  to  us  before  1876,  and  an 
earlier  one  will  be  welcome.  Mr.  James 
Platt,  to  whom  we  are  so  much  indebted  for 
his  successful  investigation  of  the  history  of 
words  derived  from  far-off  languages,  or  used 
in  far-oif  English,  in  sending  us  a  quotation 
from  S.  W.  Williams's  'Middle  Kingdom,' 
€d.  1883,  vol.  ii.  p.  402,  "They  do  business  in 
the  jargon  called  Pigeon  English,"  has  called 
our  attention  to  the  fact  that  in  the  original 
edition  of  1848  the  words  used  were  "the 
Canton  English.''  This  would  seem  to  show 
that  "  pidgin  English "  was  not  in  use  in 
1848,  or  at  least  not  considered  worthy  of 
appearing  in  print.  J.  A.  H.  Mukkay. 

Ki.Nc.  Edgae  and  the  PEft-CDPa.— As  is  no 
doubt  known  to  mo«t  readers  of  'N.  «k  Q.,'  it 


is  stated  in  Hone's  *  Year- Book,'  under  date 
18  April, 

"  Kiuc  Edgar,  in  order  to  restrain  tl  iling 

habit  of  druiikeiineBS,  wliioh  had  be-  >sn 

amotiK  his  Fniloccts  liy  the  Danes,  l.-  .or 

peKS  to  be  fixed  in  driiikiait-cups,  anii  oiUaiued  a 
puaisliineDt  to  those  who  drank  below  their  proper 
marks." 

One  finds  a  similar  statement  in  many 
writers  of  the  last  three  centuries,  and  even 
earlier,  for  in  1592  Nashe,  in  '  Pierce  Penni- 
less' (Shaks.  Soc).  54,  tells  us 

'*  King  Kdgar caused  certaino  yron  cups  to  b* 

chaiued  to  everie  well,  and  at  cvene  vinluer'stloor, 
with  yron  pins  in  them,  to  stint  etiery  ntan  how 
much  he  should  drinke;  and  he  that  went  b«yond 
one  of  those  pins  forfeyled  a  peniiie  for  evena 
draught."' 

According  to  which  Nashe  seem^  to  have 
thought  that  water-drinking  needed  stinting 
as  much  as  beer  drinking. 

But  I  do  not  want  now  to  raise  the  ^reat 
ouestion  oi  jwf-eups  or  j>f;/  t/inknids,  which  1 
daro  say  has  been  discussed  to  the  bottom  in 
*N.  &  Q.'  years  ago.  All  I  want  to  know  is. 
What  is  the  original  authority  that  attributes 
to  King  Eflgar  the  measure  alleged,  or  at 
least  where  aoeu  the  story  first  appear?  I 
know,  of  course,  about  the  Council  or  Synod 
of  London  in  1102,  which  ordained  **  T't 
presbyteri  non  cant  ad   potatiouea,  nee  ad 

finnas  bibant  "  ^  but  whatever  this  meant — 
ulier  rendered  it  "<lrink  at  pins'"— it  was  a 
long  time  after  the  days  of  Edgar.  Did  tho 
latter  make  any  similar  ordinance]

The  Con'dado.- In  December,  1G52,  soon 
after  the  unfortunate  battle  off  Dungeness. 
a  cruiser  attached  to  the  Dutch  fleet  picked 
up.  off  Dover,  "a  flyboat  of  London  coming 
from  the  Condado  with  figs,  the  merchant 
being  named  William  Watts."  Condado, 
which  is  also  written  Comlnte,  seems  to  bo 
the  Spanish  of  the  Italian  contado  and  the 
English  county,  and  in  itself  is  a  general  and 
utterly  vague  term.  A  seventeenth  century 
Italian  atlas  wltich  I  consulted  has,  in  the 
very  neigh bourhoi>d  of  the  Straits  of  Dover, 
Contado  di  Hollandia,  di  Flandra,  and  di 
Bolonia— probably  also  many  others  in  inany 
different  neighbourhoods.  All  these  apoear 
to  be  outside  the  limit  of  inquiry  ;  as  well  as 
the  several  inland  towns  of  S[)ain  called 
Condado.  I  take  it  that  "  the  Condado" 
named  was  a  maritime  district— not  a 
town  —  from  which  figs  were  habitually 
brought,  though  not  necessarily  grown 
there.  Will  some  one  familiar  with  the 
history  of  the  fig  trade  please  help  tne  to 
identify  it? 

I  do  not  know  whether  the  name  William 
Watts  may   suggest  anything,  but   in    1727 
one  Richard  Watts  was  factor  at  Smyrna.

of  the  fine  envoiope^  were  franko<l  as  well  aa 
stamped.  Is  any  oLlier  example  of  this  phila- 
telic curiosity  known  to  exist  ]  It  seems  that 
about  1838  Peel  franked  tlxmsatids  of  i>eautj- 
ful  envelopes  forhicn.seif  and  friends, not  tlieti 
anticipating  the  Act  of  1840.  His  envelopes 
being  the  finest  then  known,  he  complied 
with  llie  law  by  ad(Jing  the  penny  Htamp  to 
the  innocent  *•  frank."  I  believe  that  it  is 
little  known  that  he  was  most  liberal  wiiti 
his  franked  envelopes,  a-s  I  have  seen  some

Devossuirk  Funeral  Cdstoms.— I  have 
been  spending  Christmas  at  the  vicarage  of 
a  small  village  in  Devonshire,  ami  noticed 
there  two  things  which  were  new  to  me.  but 
which  I  was  told  are  the  regular  custom 
there. 

1.  On  the  morning  of  the  day  on  which  « 
funeral  is  to  take  place,  one  of  the  ohurcli 
bells  is  rung  at  eight  o'clock  for  about  fire 
minutes. 

2.  On  the  following  Sunday  the  moarnera 
come  to  church,  and  together  occupy  the 
same  seat,  but  take  no  part  iu  the  service, 
remain  seated  all  through  it,  use  no  books, 
but  frequently  apply  their  handkerchiefs  lo 
their  face.s.  Is  this  a  practice  followed  in 
many  Engli.sh  villages?         Thomas  Rrrr.

Mother  Chbistma.%.  —  It  is  somewhat 
strange  timt  this  expression  is  far  frum

with  children's  plea-sures  the  mother  corner 
first,  and  father  keeps  a  backseat,  except  at 
the  Christmas  season,  when  it  is  P'ather 
Christmas  and  Daddy  Christmas  from  bottom 
to  top  of  the  house.  At  any  rate,  thai 
was  my  experience  when  a  lad.  before  ray 
faith  in  the  deeds  of  Father  Christmas  wan 
broken.  Now  and  tlien  a  child  would  ask 
about  the  Mother  Christmas,  but  this  was 
rare,  and  socni-s  a  bit  surprising,  since  luolher

the  white  wings  of    Fame  in   Sir   Egeiton 
Brydgea'a  edition  of  Milton  (vol.  v.  p.  124)  :  — 

"  Milton,  in  his  poem  *  In  Quint.  Nov.,'  speaUing 
of  Fame,  says, 

laduit  et  vuriis  exilia  corpora  plumia. 
I  do  not  rpcollect  any  instance  of  Fame  having  two 
wiuga  of  diflfercnt  colours  aasigned  by  any  of  the 
Roman  iiocU.  Milton  seems  to  have  ffiuijijied  hie 
deity  very  characteristically,  by  borrowing  cue 
wing  from  Infamy,  aii'l  another  from  Victory  or 
Glory,  as  they  are  both  describerl  by  iSiliua  Iialicus  j 
where  Virtue  contrasts  herself  with  FJeaaure  or 
Dissipation,  Uv.  9,j  :—

St.  Swithin. 

The  p&ss&ge  quoted  from  'Samaon  Agan- 
istes '  has  alwa^^a  puzzletl  the  attentive 
reader  of  Milton.  .lorlin's  comments  on 
Milton  are  neiierally  of  a  high  order,  and  in 
thin  caae  especinily  to.  He  catinot  tell  why 
Milton  makes  Fjime  a  god,  unlea-j  deities  are 
of  both  sexe.s.  For  since  Hesiod  deified  lier 
as  a  Koddeas  all  other  poets  have  followed 
on.  Jortin  carriea  it  further  with  v.  19  of 
'Ljcidas'  :— 

So  inav  aome  gentle  Muae, 

With  liicky  words  favuiir  my  destined  urn ; 

Ami  us  ho  jmsses  turn, 

And  bid  fair  peace  he  to  my  sable  shroad. 

Jortin  says  it  may  be  a  "false  print,"  mean- 
ing misprint.  I  think  it  can  be  read  aa 
referring  to  the  bo<Iy  of  Lycida."*,  "in  sable 
shroud,*  lloating  by.  J'o.ssibly  Heaiod'a  <l*i/xi] 
might  have  led  Milton  to  think  of  Rumour, 
and  ao  treat  it  as  masculine.  The  name'j  on 
the  wings  are  from  Horace,  Jortin  thinks 
('  Ode,'  II.  ii.  7).  I  do  not  quite  see  tiiat  they 
are  ao.  Chaucer  fuir  tuorc  naturally  saw  the 
hill  of  tins  "  Uouseof  Fame"  engravon  *'  witli 
famous  folkes  names,"  and  U)  show  the 
tranaioncy  of  Fame  ho  makes  some  of  the 
letters  scarcely  legible : — 

They  weran  almost  oirthawen  so. 
That  of  the  letters  one  or  two 
Were  niolle  away  of  ev'ry  name. 

Bacon  in  his  '  WiKdora  of   the   Ancienta' 

makea   Fame    the    sister    of    the    giants  or 

Titans,  who  made  a  war  on  Jove.     When  they 

were  slain    by   lightinng,    the  eartli.  their 

mother,  in  her   wrath  brought  forth    Fame. 

This  he  getg  from  '-l^ii  ,'iv.  178.     Ho  winds 

all  up  thus  : — 

*^8o  as  rebellions  actions  and  seditious  reports 

"-r  QothioK  in  kind  and   blinul,  but  as  it  were  in 

nly,   the  one  sort  being  masculine   and    the 

iDiinine." 


This  ia  really  cleverly  dexterous,  and  ffive« 
a  little  support  to  my  suggestion  above, 
that  Milton  was  thinking  of  liumour.  The 
seditious  reports  are  rumorea. 

It  would  be  a  very  valuable  contribution 
to  literature  if  some  erudite  per.son  would 
re-eiiit  the  *  Wisdom  of  the  Ancients,'  going 
through  the  whole  of  the  mythological  allu- 
sions, which  are  innumerable,  and  giving 
references  to  the  authoritie.s  supporting  them. 
I  have  on  many  occasions  wishe<i  to  trace  the 
allusions,  and  frequently  have  been  unable  to 
find  any  authority  for  them.  May  it  be 
•junposed  that  often  there  is  none  ? 

In  the  'Cla.s8ical  Manual' Fame  ia  saidto 
be  repvcsentetl  by  Greeks  and  Romans  with 
wing-s  on  her  back,  and  a  trumpet,  or  double 
trumpet,  in  her  hand.  This  to  denote  that 
alio  gives  forth  eitfier  truth  or  falsehood.

Ovid,  'Met.,'  xii  5#. 

In  Virgil'a  grand  description  of  Fame 
referred  to  aliove  she  i-s  shown  as  a  gigantic 
monster  of  innumerable  tongues,  mouths, 
eyes,  atid  ears.  Lovely  is  the  line  of  descrip- 
tion, a  miracle  of  exquisite  speech,  ll>at 
quite  accounts  for  Dante's  worship  of  hia 
guide  and  master  :  — 

Noctc  volat  cadi  medio,  terriBque  per  ambram 

i^tridens. 

Her  immensity  is  depicteil  by  her  raisiog 
herself  into  the  air,  yet  still  continuing  to 
tread  the  earth,  though  her  head  is  hidden  in 
the  clouds,  like  a  growing  volume  of  amoke. 
She  enlarges  at  each  repetition,  inretque 
napiirit  ciindo.  Nobody  haa  ever  gone  much 
bevond  ttiis. 

The  abridged  Poly  metis  aaya  she  ia  repre- 
sented in  the  Vatican  Virgil  as  flying  with  a 
message  from  Juno  to  Turnus,  with  a  glory 
round  her  head,  8urroundc<l  with  clouds,  and 
a  veil  so  held  in  each  hand  as  to  circle  over- 
head in  emblem  of  her  bow,  and  to  show  her 
to  be  an  inhabitant  of  the  air.  Lucian  seems 
to  think  the  eyes  and  ears  all  over  her  body  are 
rather  ridiculous.  Symbols  represented  iu 
painting  must  constantly  be  incongruous.

Fame  should  be  repreaonted  by  an  aogel 
with  wings  and  blowing  of  trumpet^  but  not 
necessarily,  one  would  have  thought,  holding 
a  wreath.  The  raedireval  wreath  is  sup(M}sed 
to  have  been  adopted  by  the  Crusaders,  in 
the  fourteenth  century,  from  tiie  Saracenic 
turban,  to  distinguish  a  knight,  and  consisted 
of  the  twiated  garland  of  cloth  by  wliich  the 
knightly  crest  waa  atKxed  or  held  to  the

by  nil  Hfigel  XLH  a  raeiiiseuKer  of  fame,  aiuce  it 
wan  usetl  to  crown  the  victors  in  garues  and 
conquerors  in    war;    but    it    is    apparently 
appropriate*!  more  generally  to  the  goddess 
or  successful  conquest,  Victory,  who  carries 
a  palm   branch  or  a  laurel  crown.    A  bas- 
relief  on  the  Arch  of  Titus  represents  that 
I  emperor  in   liis  car    at   the    procession    on 
laccount  of  the  conquest  of  Jerusalem,  and

representations  of  Fame  is  the  most  correct, 
but  Virgils  description  holds  a  high  place.

underneath  : —

CATAtOOUKS  OF  MSS.  (10"'  S,  iv.  .3C8,  415, 
436,  531)  — No  argument  aiipeai-s  necessary 
to  enforce  the  importance  of  the  general 
availability  of  the  Catalogues  of  the  ilSS.  in 
the  British  Museum,  especially  to  students 
^ireaident  in  the  country,  and  it  is  a  matter 
for  regret  that  a  larger  number  of  the  public 
libraries  have  not  complete  sets  of  these 
invaluable  publications.  AIn.  Mason  refers 
to  the  fact  that  in  the  list  supplied  to  him 
by  the  Museum  authorities  no  price  was 
affixed  to  the  'Index  to  the  Additions,  1783 
to  1835.'  The  reason,  no  doubt,  is  that  the 
Index  in  question  is  not  to  be  acquired  at 
aoy  price.  It  is  a  volume  iisued  in  1849, 
and.  if  I  am  rightly  informed, only  100  copies 
were  printe<l.  "The  collections  of  Cole, 
Woolley,  Kurrell,  Hayley,  Symmes,  Bray, 
Kerrich,  PJssex.  Wood,  Banks.  Mitchell,  and 
Stepney  are  all  included  in  this  invaluable 
Index,  which  runs  from  the  conclusion  of  the 
Ayscough  Catalogue,  No.  6,017  to  10.018, 
and  includes  over  a  hundred  of  the  Sloane 
oullection  trausferre<i    to   the  MS.    Depart- 


ment after  the  publication  of  the  Ayacough 
Catalogue,  and  not  included  therein.  vSomo 
years  ago  I  had  to  borrow  from  London  a 
copy  of  this  volume,  as  no  copy  was  to  be 
found  in  any  of  the  libraries  in  Mancliester. 
Since  that  time,  I  am  happy  to  say.  I  have 
been  able  to  complete  my  set  of  the  Museum 
Catalogues  by  adding  this  volume.  J  rather 
think  that  there  is  no  printed  and  published 
catalogue  of  some  two  or  tliree  thousand  of 
the  Museum  MSS.,  nor  any  indication  in 
print  of  their  contents,  save  what  this  Index 
affords.  It  is  some  time  since  I  worked  on 
these  catalogues,  but  believe  that  the  an- 
cat^logued  numl>ers  are  between  5,017  and 
7,084,  or  possibly  up  to  8,220,  when  the 
catalogue  of  acquisitions  in  1831  commences.

but  his  name  was  retained,  fox-  the  firm 
was  styled  Campbell  <k  Coutts  until  1756,

were  established  in  St.  Martin's  Lane,  in  the 
reign  of  Queen  Anne,  by  one  Middleton,  a

more  be  merely  the  moor  api>ertAining  to  one 
of  the  name  of  Ducie?  Although  it  is  not 
apparent  from  gazetteers  at  hand  in  which 
county  Duciemoor  ia  aituateil,  it  is  perhaps 
remarkable  that  tlinre  is  a  Morelon  in  Staits 
and  a  Moroton-in-tho-Marsh  in  North- East 
Gloucestershire,  in  which  county  is  Tort- 
worth  Hall,  the  seat  of  the  Karl  of  Ducie, 
whose  ancestor  Matthew  Ducic  Moi-rtr/n  (son 
or  grandson,  apparently,  of  Sir  Robert  Ducie, 
founder  of  the  family)  was  created,  in  1720, 
Lord  Ducie,  Baron  of  MoitUm  in  the  couDty

"  Drixkinos  "  :  "  Drinkinu  Time"  (10"'  S.

terra  is  now  applied  to  a  refreshment  betwixt 
raeala  taken  by  farm  laljourers."  "Ijeven," 
"Jevener,"  "leven  o'clock,"  "hover,"  and 
"lowance"  are  all  used  to  cover  a  olight 
snap  in  the  field,  and  mean  any  trivial 
refreshment  taken  between  regular  meal- 
times. Then,  again,  wo  fiml  "to  drink  by 
word  of  mouth,"  which  often  happened  at 
these  times.  A  bottle  of  beer  w«9  carried 
into  the  hayBcld,  and  several  woikers  would 
search  for  a  vessel  to  pour  the  precious  liquor 
into,  but  the  seardi  might  bo  unsuccessful  : 
then  it  was  agreed  "to  drink  by  won!  of 
mouth  " — in  other  word«,  to  imbibe  direct 
from  the  orifice  in  t!ie  bottle.     Thin  *' 

advantage  to  the  otio  who  drank  fit 
especially  if  he  was  accustomed  to  tln^  n...  le 
of  swallowing.  It  did  not  ensure  nn  equal 
division  of  drink  to  all  in  the  company.  The 
saying  has  a  kiml  of  classic  oi  ij:in,  as  it  wa» 
used  bv  Shadwell,  who  succeeded  Diydcn  as

In  'The  Life  and  Writings  of  Henry  ruj^eli, 
Esq.,  M.A.R.A.,'  vol.  i.  p  313  (published  1831}, 
ia  a  reference  to  (Janova  :  — 

"Canova  visited  KuKlaml  in  the  summer  of 
ISlft,  and  wa»  then  very  much  struck  with  the 
pictures,  aa  well  a*  pleased  with  Fmseli's  society. 
This  eminent  si-ulplor  remarked  that  he  not  only 
•howoil  the  brilliancy  of  ({enius  in  his  cotiversation. 
hut  that  he  sjioke  Italian  with  the  purity  of  a  well- 
educated  native  of  Koine." 


ham  are  the  following  remarks  bj"  Canova 
upon  the  statue  of  Eloquence  by  Roubiliac 
on  the  monument  to  the  memory  of  the 
Duke  of  Argyle  in  Poeta'  Corner,  West- 
itiin.ster  Abbey  ; — 

"  He  [Canova]  waa  bo  struck  with  its  beauty,  b» 
stood  before  it  full  ten  minutes,  muttered  his 
surprise  in  his  native  language— (lassed  on,  and 
returning  in  a  few  minutes  said,  'This  is  one  of  the 
noblest  statues  I  have  seen  in  England.'  " 

Canova  wa.s  very  friendly  with  Sir  Francia 
Chantrey,  and  greatly  appreciated  his  work, 
and  when  he  returned  to  Italy  he  sent  Sir 
Francis  Chantrey  a  colossal  bu»t  of  himself. 
This  bust,  after  Chan  trey's  decea.se,  was 
purchased  by  my  master,  Edwin  Kniith, 
sculptor,  and  i-s  now  iti  the  Museum,  Weston 
Park,  Sheffield.  I  believe  Canova  exhibited 
his  statue  of  Terpsichore  in  the  Royal 
Academy  at  the  saiDo  time  aa  Sir  Francis* 
Chantrey  exhihitfd  his  beautiful  group  of 
'The  Sleeping  Childieu."

Tetk-.V-Tkte  Poeteaits  is  'The  Town 
AND  Country  Magazine'  (10"'  S.  iv.  211, 
342,  4«2,  522).— There  seems  to  be  little  doubt 
that  Uapt,  Hkrbert  Kin<;  Uall  Imn  identi- 
fie<l  Admiral  "Sternpost,"  for  there  in  no 
evidence  that  any  other  than  I  tarry  Paulet, 
sixth  Dulceof  Bolton,  bore  such  a  sobriquet. 
The  .Ma;/i:tne.  however,  givea  a  diiTei'eut 
explanation  of  the  origin  of  the  nickname  : — 

"He  called,  as  it  is  said,  a  council  of  war  wilJi 
his  carpenter,  iu  order  lo  deleriiiiiie  upon  the  real 
or  imoffiiiari/ Btatc of  hia  htempofit,  and  from  whence 
he  hfia  derived  the  title  of  Admiral  >Sternpo«l." 

The  editor  of  the  'Tete-a-T^tea'  goes  on 
to  give  another  obvious  clue  : — 

"Like  liis  predecessor  in  hii  title,  he  wii,s  caught 
in  the  a*ti>e  net  by  the  lures  of  Polly  Peachum.  It 
it  true  he  could  not  bo&at  that  he  had  the  ortuiuaL 
Polly." 

The  reference,  of  course,  points  to  Lavinia 
Fenton.  the  Polly  Peachum  of  'The  Heggar's 
Opera,'  who  married  I'harles  Paulet,  third 
Duke  of  Bolton,  tlio  uncle  of  Admiral  Stern- 
post.  A  eoniparison  of  this  TiHe-a-liite 
portrait  with  a  contemporary  print  would 
probably  clear  away  any  uciccrtainty.

I  think,  had  then  a  separate  existence,  beinf? 
afterwards  absorbed  by  the  other  journal— 
depicte<i  thi^  quaint  survival  of  the  past  at 
the  time  of  its  liemolition  ;  or,  if  not,  perhaps 
it  wa.s  done  by  The  JhUldri:  There  was  a 
model  of  the  building  and  its  adjuncts,  made 
to  scale,  in  the  Westminster  Industrial  Exhi- 
bition held  in  Victoria  Street  in  1879,  but  I 
cannot  say  what  became  of  it  at  tlie  close  of 
the  exhibition.  I  always  felt  that  it  was  a 
pity  it  was  not  secured  by  tlie  parish  authori- 
ties, and  placed  permanently  in  the  Free 
Library  in  Great  Smith  Street.  It  would 
now,  in  this  era  of  constant  chanRes,  be  of 
much  interest  to  Westminster  residents  and 
others.  The  spot  at  which  it  stood  has  been 
sabjectefl  to  many  changes.  Tlie  huge  ware- 
hotiae  of  the  Army  and  Navy  Stores,  a  new 
fire  station,  and  Grey  Uuat  Gardens,  consist- 
ing of  many  suites  of  flats,  are  all  recent  ad<li- 
tions.  ^The  only  piece  of  antiquity  here  is  the 
Grey  Coat  Hospital,  now  a  girls'  school,  and

Open- AIR  Pulpits  (10'"  S.  iv.  430).— Tho 
lovely  old  fourteenth  •  century  "Header's 
Pulpit"  at  Shrewsbury  Abbey  is  often  cited 
as  an  external  one,  but  was  not  originally  so. 
It  was  buitt  within  the  refectory,  and  has 
simply  been  renderc<l  an  open-air  pulpit  by 
the  cfestruction  of  its  immediate  surrounn- 
iiigs.  It  stood,  when  erected,  much  as  do 
tlto  well-known  thirteenth -century  one  in 
the  refectory  at  Chester  Cuthedral  and  one 
at  Tintern  Abl>ey,  and,  like  them,  was 
entered  from  the  cloisters  behind.  A  simi- 
larly placed  pulpit,  of  about  the  same  date, 
may  be  -seen  at  Beaulieu  Church,  Hants. 

■fhe  most  perfect  old  open-air  pulpit  in 
this  country  is  in  the  first  court  of  Magdalen 
College,  Oxford.  It  was  incorporated  into 
that  building,  it  is  recorded,  by  Wayntlete, 
wlien  he  erected  the  present  college  (1473- 
1-181). 

There  is  an  external  pulpit  (motlern)  at 
the  north-west  en<l  of  St.  Mary's  Church, 
WJntechapel,  and  one  has  within  recent  years 
been  placed  upon  the  north  side  of  St.  James's 
Church,  Piccadilly,  an  edifice  built  by  Wren 
in  1684. 

At  St.  Die,  in  France,  a  pulpit  exists 
outside  the  cathedral,  but  within  its  cloisters. 
Upon  tiie  north  aide  of  St.  Lo  Cathedral 
(Normandy)  there  is  an  exterior  pulpit ;  and 
at  Vitre  (Ille-et-Vilaiue)  is  one  of  the  finest 
ext«rior  pulpits  in  the  world.  It  is  carried 
up  from  tlie  ground  by  a  tall  base  and  shaft, 
is  ornately  carved,  and  surmounted  by  an 
excpedJHgly  beautiful  spiral  canopy. 

Upon  the  north  wall  of  St.  Stephen's 
Cathedral,  Vienna,  an  external  pulpit  pro- 
jects. 

Quite  a  number  of  old  outsido  pulpits  may 
be  seen  in  Germany.  Some  are  attached  to 
churches  ;  otJiers  are  upon  the  edge  of 
churchyards  ;  and  a  few  are  isolated  in 
cemeteries.  One  of  the  last  is  at  Mainbern- 
heim,  in  Bavaria.  It  is  of  Renaissance  date, 
its  stone  sounding-board  (if  so  it  may  bo 
termed)  supported  by  massive  columns, 
lapped  by  an  ogee  outlined  roof,  and  sur- 
mounted by  a  weather  vane.  It  is  approached 
by  winding  stairs. 

AachafFenburg  —  tho  minster  church— has 
a  parapet  of  open  stonework  enclosing  its 
yard.  At  one  corner,  carried  upon  a  semi 
circular  corbel,  is  a  pulpit  —  ono  that 
thoroughly   commands   the    ground  ontaLdf

Ari^hifoloijil    and    Falnf.    Aii/iijitities.       By    Robert 

Mmiro.  LL.1).,  F.SA.Scot.  (Melhuen  k  Co  ) 
It  was  a  hapiiy  thought  of  the  editor  of  "  The  Anti- 
quaries' Hooks  '  to  devote  one  volume  of  the  series 
to  the  subject  of  bogus  antiquities,  and  assign  it  to 
the  competent  hands  of  Dr.  Munro.  It  ia  a  well- 
known  fa'it  that  even  acknowledged  experts  like 
ijirJiihn  Kvans  and  the  authorities  of  the  Uritiah 
Muacioii  have  somelimes— not  often— fallen  victims 
to  the  skilful  arts  of  the  modern  coiner;  and  there 
are  few  collections  of  any»i/.«  which  do  not  contain 
■ome  trophies  of  thissuccessful  villainy.  Theauthor 
himself,  as  he  confes5.e9.  has  chcrisheil  an  Ki,'y|itian 
acarabit'us  which  turned  out,  after  all,  to  Ite  a 
modern  fraud :  and  nr>t  a  few  of  such  plausible 
impostures  have  jiBSsed  niUBter.  Even  a  veteran 
like  I'rof.  (ieorgo  .Stephens,  of  Coi>euli«gen,  suc- 
cumbt'd  to  ti>e  impudent  claims  of  two  Kunic 
inftcriiilioiift  that  were  arratit  forgeries,  ond  allovicd 
them  harbfiuruge  in  his  ?reat  reiiertory  of  iho  old 
Northern  Uunic  monumenls.  Everybody  remem- 
bers liow  egrugimtsly  the  authorities  of  tlie  Louvic 
vrere  taken  in  n  f«w  years  since  by  Ibe  tiara  of  a 


Scythian  king  Saitai>harnes— an    elaborate  bit 
workmanship  which  was  traced  home  to  a  Hi 
goldsmith,  Kouchounowsky.     A  good  plate  iagii 
of  it  here. 

Some  eminent  antiquaries  have  thought  tkftt 
the  production  of  these  pseudo-antiques  is  not 
alioifelher  an  uimiixed  evtl,  aa  they  develope  k 
wholesome  scepticism,  and  serve  as  a  toucbalon» 
of  the  wits  for  any  rising  Monkbarns.  They  iir« 
not  without  a  positive  value  in  helping  todetermine 
the  canons  on  which  archuolugical  conclusions  are 
founded. 

As  might  be  anticipated,  we  j^et  a  full  aoconnt  of 
the     achievements    of     Edward    Simpson,    bett 
known   aa  "  Flint  Jack,"  who  could   boast    w 
truth 

Quw  regio  in  lerris  nostri  nou  plena  laboris. 

One  chapter  relates  the  heated  controversy 
which  was  maintained  concerning  the  Calaveraa 
skull.  It  is  now  held  to  be  no  relic  of  Tertiary 
man,  but  the  head  of  a  modern  Indian.  Another 
gives  some  account  of  the  recent  Clyde  coutroveray, 
discussed  by  Mr.  Lang  in  his  book  noticed  by  us 
on  30  December. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  volutne  presents  rather 
the  humorous  and  human  side  of  what  niany  may 
regard  as  a  dry-as-duat  science,  but  at  the  same 
time  it  forms  a  useful  contribution  to  tlie  lung 
annah  of  human  error  and  fallibility.  We  notice  a 
blemitili  on  ]>.  4,  where  a  word  seems  to  bo  mif<iifeil. 
Man's  arms,  being  set  free  by  his  erect  attitude, 
can  hardly  be  caTleti  his  "  rliminaJtU  fore-limbs."

nianv  still    existing,    such    as    "  coni)>elliiiK   your

iSen  Jonaun's  'Underwoods'  are  reprinted,  we 
suppoce,  from  the  KXO  edition  of  his  '  Works,'  as, 
somewhat  to  tlie  indigtiatioii  or  ainiiseineiit  of  his 
contemiMrarien,  ho  called  his  collected  plays  and 
poems.  We  are  at  least  aware  of  no  separate 
publication  of  the  dale.  'J'hey  have  been  less 
roaii  tlinn  they  merit,  though  Iten's  lyrical  jiroduc- 
tionv,  with  a  few  exceplioug,  are  held,  unjustly,  in 
lighter  regard  than  hi«  dramas.  The  best  knuwn  of 
these  poems  in  |ierha|is  what  is  called  '  Her 
Trinnipli,' which  Htands  fourth  in  '  A  Celebration 
of  Charis  in  Ten  Lyriek  I'eeces,' and  begins,  "See 
the  Chariot  at  iiund  hero  of  Love.  This  is 
]KMsibly  n)ost  regnrded  in  consequence  of  the 
musical  setliiig,  which  is  worthy  of  the  lines. 
For  their  autubiogrnphical  value,  however,  the 
lioenis  are  iinigiie,  and  they  form  pleasant  souvenirs 
of  Ben's  friendships  and  intimacies.  The  title 
'Underwoods'  is  said  hy  the  writer  to  be  due  to 
Ihe  analogy  to  hii  former  volume  'Tlie  Forrest.' 
Like  Milton,  Ren  Junson  has  un  elegy  upon  a 
Marchioness  of  VVinchestor.  It  is,  however,  pre- 
(tnniably  ution  Lady  Anne  I'aulet,  ami  not  u|)on 
Milt<>iis  Marohiuness.  Owing  to  Ben's  classical 
knowledge  his  p(H:inH  ace  a  mine  to  the  philologist. 
\Ve  hojK!  that  the  editors  of  the  '  N.K.D.  will  nolice 
on  p.  VI  what  seems  to  us  a  very  early  use  of  the 
won!  "Tribade."  This  is  in  a  tieri-o  and  venotiiuuii 
attack  on  the  "Coiitl  I'lirelle."  In  the  same  poem 
ia  an  allusion  we  should  like  to  trace  :  — 
Take  heed 

This  age  would  lend  no  faith  to  DorrtlV*  Deed. 
What  is  l>orreirs  Deed  ?    Is  the  allusion  to  some 
prank  of  Juhn  Darrfll,  the  exorcist  ? 

The  printing  of  this  work  is  exquisite,  and  the 
entire  «eries,  as  we  have  previously  stated,  ia  an 
artistic  triumph  for  a  groat  press. 

Comitij  of  SufoIL:  ila  Jliitoi-y  as  DiiicloMd  by

Vol.  V.  (Sotheran  &  Co.) 
A  rvi.h  account  of  the  scheme  which  Dr.  Copinger 
haa  HO  conscientiouMlv  and  admirably  carried  out 
will  be  found  at  Ifl"'  S.  ii  "ilS  and  iv.  Ml.  In

further  than  Maying  that  the  same  iin8nrpas<uible 
standard  of  workninnship  is  maintained.  It  ia 
conceivable,  and  x'catly  to  be  lio|i«(),  that  what 
has  been  done  for  .SulTolk  by  Dr.  Cnpjnger  will  in 
coiT.'-'  I't  time  be  accomplished — by  other  anli- 
qtiK.  '  /.eal>i(i«^  able,  and  in  more  than  one 

re«i  y  enilowed— for  other  counHe«.    This 

ia,  huwevci.   a  dream  of  perfection.     Men    with 


e<jnal  kiiowledtfe,  egital  means,  and  equal  devotion 
do  not  abound  ;  aii<l  we  must  content  ourselvea 
with  reconiing  that  Suffolk,  in  regard  to  the 
cla8.sificalion  and  calendaring  of  its  treasures, 
occupies  a  gratifying  pre  eminence.  One  further 
chance  of  recogni/.ing  the  service  is  at  once^ 
()o«aible  and  in  some  resnecls  obligatory.  An 
twlix  noinhunn  l(  loconim  lias  been  pre)iared.  and 
is  virtually  ready  for  the  press.  It  will  be  issued 
as  soon  as  a  number  of  subscriptions  sufficient  U> 
cover  the  cost  of  printing  has  been  received  by  the 
publishers.  .Self-iuterest  urges  that  such  a  list 
should  be  filled  in  without  delay. 

A  Snppiemtul  to  the  Oloinary  of  the  Dialtrt  of 
Cumberlaiiil.  By  E.  W.  Prevost,  Ph.D.  (Frowde.) 
Wii  niight  have  conjectured  that  when  that  hng* 
galleon  'The  English  Dialect  Dictionary,' with  its 
splendid  freight,  was  safely  launched,  it  would  take- 
the  wind  out  of  the  sails  of  all  smaller  craft,  or 
deter  them  fnjni  venturing  out  on  a  sea  already  so- 
comjilelely  dominated.  I)r.  l*revo»t,  however,  is 
an  enthusiast.  And  bravely  puts  out  u  supplement 
to  a  work  which  he  tinbiishcd  six  years  ago.  As  he 
comes  after  stich  diligciii  collectors  as  Mr.  W. 
Dickinson  and  Mr.  R.  Ferguson,  it  was  not  to  be 
expected  that  many  new  dialect  words  or  uaagea 
would  be  found  in  his  .-pici/ft/mm,  Ai  a  matter  of 
fact,  the  words  given  here,  with  a  few  exceptions, 
seem  to  be  of  but  tertiary  interest  and  inijiortance. 
0|icning  almost  at  hazard,  we  light  on  "doirh/, 
sadly,  ailing,  unwell,"  already  given  in  the  other 
glossaries.  And  surely  it  is  out  of  place 
to  register  as  dialect  such  n  perfectly 
general  English  word  as  "/on.*,  a  girl,  a  youni: 
woman,  a  female  lover,  Ac."  There  are  scores  of 
other  words  which  in  a  similar  way  would  fail  to 
jiiHlify  their  admission  ;  e  [/..dirkt/,  ulijuvafis^  iiifrj/, 
jlahhtrganl,  Itt-t/i,  oaf.  ijHtft;  riffraff,  siiiiye,  a/icA, 
slotigi/.  Some  of  Dr.  Provost's  etymologies  we  ven- 
ture to  query.  He  statex,  for  instance,  that 
(iuriliim,  an  uiiroar,  was  orieinally  door-cloom,  a^ 
rough  and-ready  quest  held  at  the  door  of  an  eviU 
doer.  We  should  like  to  know  whetlier  this. 
(ioorJoom  was  a  recognized  jiopular  institution,  or 
is  a  mere  conjecture.  fhirdvm  looks  like  ark 
onomntopteic  word;  Fergu<>on  compares  it  wilb 
the  Gaelic  ilurdnn,  a  murmur.  /'uyA<r.>;,  given  as 
an  occasional  word  for  slippers,  has  all  the  a|i)iear- 
anco  of  being  a  mere  reshaping  of  "  papoojjhes  "■ 
(Per*. /wi/frxA).  Cunilith,  a  covercd-in  <lrain,  givew 
under  Uirott,  is,  of  course,  merely  "coiultiit." 
Wtaerr'x  htef.  which  with  the  Uuinberlaml  folk 
stands  for  a  red  herring,  we  may  nolo  is  givou 
in  Fuller's  '  Worthies'  as  an  Essex  word  for 
sprats. 

Dirtiouarji  of  Iviiian   Binirraphji.     By  C.  E.  Buck- 

land,  C.I.K.  (Sonnenachein  A  Co.) 
Umkorm  in  size  and  appearance  with  the  series  of 
Dictionaries  of  Quotations  issut'd  by  Messrs.  Swat^ 
Sonnensrheiii,  this  volume  aims  nt  supplying  short 
biographies  of  men  who  have  helped  to  establish, 
or  been  in  nny  way  connected  with,  our  great 
Indian  emjiire.  It  is  convenient  and  che<ip,  nml 
will  serve  many  puriioses  of  reference.  It  might,, 
however,  with  advantage  be  enlarged  hy  the  iiidu- 
Hion  of  more  names  <<i  men  livinc  or  recently  dead. 
Like  the  screen  in  the  rooms  of  Joseph  .Surface,  it 
is  useful  for  those  who  want  to  find  thiiigs  in  a 
hurry.  The  live*  of  native  rulers  aud  niiuisterot 
constitute  a  valuable  feature.

A    WEST   INDIAN   MILITARY    BURIAL- 
GROUND. 

Some  two  year»  a^co.  wlien  I  wa«  paying  a 
Bort  visit  to  Englisli  Harbour,  in  the  south- 
Ht  corner  of  tlie  island  of  Antigua,  I  made 
the  following  note's  upon  an  old  disused 
burial  -  ground  situate^l  on  the  Shirley 
Heights*  close  by.  I  had  intended  to  send 
Uiern  to  '  N.  Js  Q'.'  at  the  time,  but.  as  I 
wi.shed  to  verify  a  .story  connected  with  the 
old  dockyard  here,  I  deferred  doing  so  until 
a  raore  "convenieut  season." 

The  commemoration  of  the  centenary  of 
tiie  great  Nelson's  death  and  the  victory 
of  Trafalgar  seem^  to  be  that  more  "  con- 
venient season  "  to  me,  sitting  here  in 
Clarence  House,  once  the  abode  of  our  iSaiior 
King,  William  IV.— a  building  still  belonging 
to  tl»e  English  Government,  though  occa- 
nionally  used  as  a  temporary  asylum  for 
officers  administering  the  government  of  this 
colony  who  may  be  in  search  of  rest  or 
health,  for  the  Oovernor'a  seat  at  Dow's 
Hill,  higlier  up  the  sloiie  or  "Ridge,"  was 
destroyed  by  tlie  hurricane  of  1848.  As  I  sit, 
I  »oo  below  me  that  now  disused,  but  once 


*  So  named  Itom  Sir  Thuraaa  Sliiiley,  Burt.,  a 
ioruier  Uoveruor. 


important  and  still  niowt  interesting  old 
dockyard  of  Engli-sh  Harbour —  very  im- 
portant indeed  in  those  days  of  English  and 
French  naval  wars,  and  amongst  the  waters 
where  Rodney  and  tho.se  under  him  added 
lustre  to  the  naval  supremacy  of  old  England. 
Here,  just  below  Clarence  House,  yet  hang 
together  the  fragments  of  what  is  still 
known  as  "Nelson's  Jetty."  From  here,  too, 
is  very  noticeable  the  entrance  to  the  inner 
harbour  itself,  across  which  stretched  at  one 
time  a  huge  iron  chain,  the  remnants  of 
whicli  may  still  be  seen  embedded  in  the 
sand  of  Freeman's  Bay, 

It  was  through  this  entrance  and  from  this 
harbour  that— according  to  the  Governor's 
proclamation  recently  issued  here  calling 
upon  all  loyal  citizen.s  to  decorate  their 
houses  in  honour  of  "  Nelson's  Day"— the 
great  sea-captain  sailed  on  hin  last  voyage  to 
meet  tlie  French  and  Spanish  f^eetn,  a  voyage 
whicli  ended  so  gloriouslj'  in  Trafalgar  Bay  ; 
so  that  Antigua  may  be  said  to  have  been 
the  last  port  from  which  Nelson  sailed. 

It  is  touch  to  be  regretted  that  circum- 
stances— amongst  wliich  may  be  stated  the 
great  financial  depression  through  which 
these  islands  are  still  struggh'ng — have  nob 
permitted  the  Leeward  Islands  to  celebrate 
the  gr«»at  centenary  in  any  other  fashion 
than  that  indicated  in  the  Governor'!?  pro- 
clamation ;  for  few  places  in  tlie  West  Indies 
can  claim  a  better  right  to  share  in  any  cele- 
bration of  Nelson,  who,  as  captain  of  H.M.S. 
Boreas,  found  liis  bride  at  the  neighbouring 
island  of  Nevia  in  the  person  of  Mrs.  Frances 
Herbert  Nisbet,  tlie  widow  of  a  local  doctor 
and  a  member  of  a  well-known  Nevis  family. 
The  house  and  residence  of  the  bride,  Mont- 
pelier — in  which  the  marriage  actually  took 
place  (it  did  not  take  place  in  Fig  Tree 
Ciiurch,  as  ia  popularly  supposed)— is  now  in 
absolute  ruins  ;  but  one  of  tfie  huge  stone 
balls,  fallen  from  its  pillar,  yet  marks  wliere 
the  entrance  gate.s  stood.  Still  in  the  vestry 
in  Fig  Tree  Church  — a  mile  or  twu  distant 
from  Montpelier  —  carefully  preservetl  in  a 
little  wooden  box,  through  tho  covering  glass 
of  which  it  can  be  easily  decipheretl,  lies  the 
original  entry  of  tho  marriage  register,  which 
runs  as  follows  : — 

113787. 

March  11.  Horatio  Nelaon,  Eaquirc,  Captain  of  His 

Majesty'!  nhip  the  Boreas,  to  Frances  Herbert 

Nisliet,  Widow. 

And  now  from  the  great  naval  dead  let 
us  pass  to  those  who  have  no  less  honourably 
laid  down  their  lives  in  the  sister  service, 
whicli  bringa  me  to  the  subject-matter  of 
this  paper.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.      (io«  s.  v.  jxx.  27.  iwr 


Through  a  decaying  gateway  one  enters 
Una  old  bu rial -g round— like  too  many  others 
in  thia  island,  dilapidated  and  disused.  On 
the  upper  part  of  the  ground,  and  within  a 
few  yards  of  its  southern  extremity,  stands 
a  stone  obelisk,  or  four-Hided  cone  of  stone,  of 
some  15  or  Id  feet  in  height,  on  a  tstone  plintl) 
of  about  7  feet  square.  It  was  erected  by 
their  comrades  as  a  tribute  to  the  memory  of 
those  orticers,  non-commi$sioned  oftioers,  and 
men  of  the  old  54th  regiment*  who  tiied,  as 
the  inscription  iu  roman  capitals  states, 
"during  the  service  of  the  corps  in  tho  islands  of 
Antigua,  St.  Kittn,  Doininioa,  and  St.  Liicta  from 
March,  MprL"cxi.viii  [7]  to  June,  mdcccli." 

Originally,  I  may  say,  several  and  distinct 
colonies,  each  with  iw  own  Lieutenant- 
Governor  under  a  Governor- General,  the 
first  three  of  these  islands  have  been  since 
1871  the  three  principal  of  the  lyjeward 
Islands  group,  whilst  St.  Lucia  now  forms 
one  of  the  Windward  Islands. 

1.  The  face  of  the  eastern  aide,  which  con- 
tains the  above  description,  is  devoted  to 
ANTir.L'A,  the  name  Ijeing  engraved  in  bold 
roman  capitals  on  a  tablet  above  tlie  names 
of  those  whose  memory  it  is  designed  to  per- 
petuate. This  side  is  by  far  the  best  pre- 
served, and  the  greater  part  of  the  names 
recorded  are  still  to  be  read,  the  upper  ones 
being  in  the  worse  state  of  preservation.

names  of  about  forty  privates,  all  of  which 
can  be  fairly  deciphered. 

2.  A  similar  tablet  facing  north  denotes 
ST.  KiTTS  ;  but  whilst  this  remains  clear  and 
comparatively  frexh,  alt  the  names  recorded 
l)elow  have  perished,  only  a  few  isolated 
letters  remaining.  It  is  evident,  however, 
that  they  were  much  fewer  than  tiiose  under 
Antigua. 

3.  On  the  south  side  appear  those  under 
Dominica,,  apparently  about  the  same  in 
number  as  the  last.  Here  again  only  one 
name  in  the  top  line  can  be  deciphereil — 
that  of  HEKKY  (?)  BROWN.  Only  a  few  isolated 
letters  of  the  rest  can  be  made  out. 

4.  With  regard  to  the  south  side— that  to 
the  west — the  converse  seems  to  have  been 
the  case.  The  title  on  the  tablet  intended  for 


•  Formerly    the  We»t  Norfolk    Regjnient,  and 
now  the  2nd  BaltitlioD  of  the  Dorsets  (-^Ib), 


sT  LUC7A.  is  gone,  the  merest  trace  of  the  laiit 
two  letters  alone  being  there.  At  the  top  of 
the  left  corner  the  word  pte  (Private)  atiU 
remains  legible,  and  in  various  degrees  of 
legibility  are  the  names  of  the  foUowiog  : —

Apart  from  the  inscription,  this  side  of  the 
monument  shows  the  most  signs  of  wear  and 
stress  of  weather.  Tin's  tendency  to  wear 
best  on  the  weather  side  in  the  kind  of  stone 
of  which  the  obeli-'ik  is  com  posed  (an  igneous  or 
volcanic  rock)  is  strongly  exemplified  in  some 
massive  stone  columns  of  the  same  material 

—  now  in  ruins  — in  the  old  dockyard 
below. 

Close  along  under  the  southern  wall  of  the 
burial-ground,  and  l)etween  it  and  the 
obeli.sk,  are  numerous  oblong  heaps  of  ttonee, 
no  doubt  representing  the  burial-place  of  the 
various  soldiers  whose  names  are  recorded) 
on  the  monument,  and  who  were  baried  in 
Antigua. 

In  the  south-eastern  corner  of  the  ground, 
and  not  far  from  the  obelisk,  is  a  Atone  aJtar- 
tomb,  showing  signs  of  decay,  to  the  tneniory 
of  Harriott,  wife  of  Sergeant- Major  Whippin, 
of  H.M.  54th  Regiment,  •'  who  fell  a  ^u■tim 
to  the  withering  effects  of  this  climate  and 
dysentery,"  on  23  .lanuary,  IB6I.  aged  33S 
years. 

On  a  lower  part  of  the  burial-ground,  to 
the  west,  and  further  removefi  from  the 
obelisk,  are  two  large  stone  altAr- tombs 
enclosed  within  iron  railings.  In  one  of 
these  an  incised  stone  slab  records  the  death 

of    "t'HAKLEs    DAWSON.    M.D ,    surgeon 

64th  [IJ  Regiment"— porhapv  •'  as  the 

"suar.EoN SON  "on  the  ol  ,«  date 

and  restof  the  inscription  are  mni  ipncrable 
except  the  words  at  the  bottom,  **  ja.nk  mast 
DAWSON,"  in  roman  letters.  The  inscription 
on  the  other  tomb  is  practically  indeci- 
pherable—at least  OS  seen  from  tim  railings 

—  only    a    word     here    and    tl)«re     being 
legible. 

Close  by  is  an  upright  stone  re*;ording  the 
death  of  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Philip  ("lofi.in, 
Royal    Artillery,   who    died    20  r  t, 

aged  28  ;  also  the  deaths  of  twosni.  ii»

on  one  atone,  the  names  of  several  artillery- 
men who  had  succumbed  a  year  or  two  later, 
so  far  as  I  could  make  out,  than  tho^e 
recorded  on  the  obelisk.  Several  other  .stones 
showed  names  in  all  .stages  of  decipherability, 
or  rather  iudecipherability.  One  waa  to 
Patk-  Greenan  of  H.M.  -lUth  Regiment,  who 
died  in  1858,  aged  24.  Another  half-aunken 
stone  was  to  Private  Patk.  ilanrahan,  who 
died  2  Nov.,  18.'i2  (rest  indecipherable). 

This  part  of  the  ground  would  seem  to 
have  been  used  for  regiments  which  had 
«uccee<Jed  to  the  .")4th,  who  api)arently  left 
in  1S51,  though  on  one  I  could  make  out  khe 
name  of  a  lex"  elderton  (the  rest  was  gone), 
whose  namo  also  appears  amongst  the  forty 
or  more  jjrivates  of  the  54th  Regiment  on 
the  obelisk.  The  preponderance  of  what 
seem  to  be  Irish  names  in  this  part  of  the 
ground  suggests  that  it  may  nave  been 
reserved  for  Roman  Catholics. 

My  object  in  sending  these  particulars  to 
*N.  &  Q.'  is  to  aroase  some  interest  in  this 
disused  and  dilapidated  old  burial-ground, 
which  contains  the  remains  of  so  many  Eng- 
lishmen who  diexl  on  foreign  service.  Surely 
the  "memory"  to  which  these  silent— yet 
most  eloquent— stones  appeal  should  survive 
more  than  half  a  century  ! 

There  still  remain  old  stone  barracks  on 
the  opposite  spur  of  the  "Ridge"  — fine 
buildings  even  in  their  ruins— whicli  con- 
tained separate  buildings  for  Grenadiers, 
artillery,  and  line  regiments.  Outside  the 
main  facade  of  the  ruins  of  one  of  tiiese— 
formerly  constituting  the  officers'  quarters — 
is  still  clearly  visible  the  following  inscrip- 
tion :  "Erected  in  1780  by  order  of  His 
Excell'  Lieut.  Gen'  Mathew." 

I  will  not  stop  to  inquire  on  whotn  rests 
the  responsibility  of  keeping  up  these  memo- 
rials of  the  Imperial  dead,  but  one^might 
hope  that  the  present  representatives  of 
those  "comrades"  in  the  old  fiJth  who 
erected  this  monument  might  do  something 
before  the  pathetic  record  of  its  services  in 
such  a  "withering  climate"  (which  soldiers 
and  civilians  alike  have  to  face  in  their  duty 
to  the  CVown)  is  lost  altogether. 

But  it  must  be  done  soon.  The  last  two 
years  even  have  laid  their  hands  very 
roarke<ily  on  the  place,  which  is  fast  becom- 
ing an  in\|>etietrar)le  wilderness,  overgrown 
with  acacia  bushes  and  prickly  cactus.  It  is, 
perhaps,  unfortunate  that  this  should  be  so 
just  at  the  lime  when  the  British  Admiralty 
has  apparently  made  up  its  mind  to  give  Up 
the  Huiierintendence  of  the  old  dockyard  at 
Englijin  Harbour,  which  still  belongs  to  it. 
One  cannot  regard  without  regret  the  sur- 


render of  this  fine  old  shipyard— which  must 
have  cost  millions  to  construct— with  its  stilL 
useful  and  massive  buildings  and  masonry.

JOSEPH  SPENCE. 
In  his  pleasant  'Introduction  '  to  Sfience'^ 
'Anecdotes'  ("The  Scott  Library,"  vol.  Hi., 
no  date),  Mr.  John  Underhill  mention.s,  as- 
one  of  the  beautiful  traits  in  this  author's 
character,  "  the  great  love  which  ho  had 
for  his  mother."  I  should  like  to  learn  where 
this  lady  spent  her  declining  years  and  when 
and  where  she  died.  Is  there  no  tablet  to 
her  memory,  placed  in  church  or  churcliyard 
by  her  son  ?  Singer,  in  his  '  Life '  of  Spence- 
(second  edition,  1858),  states  that  her  maiden 
name  was  Mirai>ella  Collier,  and  from  his- 
brief  account  of  her  I  gather  that  she  was  a. 
daughter  of  Thomas  Collier  (who  has  Ijeen 
described  as  "of  Shoe  Lane,  London, 
brewer")  by  his  marriage,  at  Lawrence 
Waltham,  Berks,  in  166.'),  with  Maria,  third 
daughter  of  Sir  Thomas  Lunsford,  Knt.,  and 
his  second  wife,  Katherine,  daugliter  of 
another  knight.  Sir  Henry  Novill  (who  died 
in  1G2S>),  of  Billingljear,  Berks.  See  Cullec- 
tane'%  Top.  et  Gen.,  iv.  142  ;  Metcalfe's^ 
'Visitation  of  lierkahire,  lGfi4-6,' p  G6.  Sir 
Thomas  Lunsford  was  the  lloyahst  colonel 
at  tlie  news  of  whose  appointment  in 
December,  1641,  to  the  lieutenancy  of  the 
Tower  of  London,  "all  England  was 
alarmed."  See  his  biographj'  in  the  'D.N  B.,' 
x.\xiv.  281. 

Spence's  father,  the  Rev.  Joseph  Spence, 
was  born  at  Cambridge,  and  was  the  son  of 
yet  another  Joseph  Spence,  who,  as  he  is 
called  "coquus,"  was  probably  a  college 
cook.  He  was  educated  at  St.  Paul's  School, 
London,  under  Dr.  Gale,  and  at  St.  John's 
College,  Cambridge,  where  lie  was  admitted- 
a  sizar,  when  aged  sixteen,  on  14  July,  H>77. 
See  Prof.  Mayor's  'Admissions'  to  that 
College,  pt.  ii.  p.  C'j.  He  graduated  B  A.  in 
1681,  and  M.A.  in  1G8.1,  and  was  a  fellow  of 
St.  John's  from  April,  1685,  until  about  IC94. 
See  Baker's  '  History  '  of  the  Collego,  pfj.  300, 
301;  and  'Graduati  Cantab.'  In  1687  he 
was  appointe<l  a  minor  canon  of  Winchester 
Cathedral,  and  in  1093  also  the  precentor 
there.  These  posts  he  retained  until  1712. 
Meanwhile  he  became  rector,  first  of  Winnall, 
near  Winche«ter.  ami  afterwards,  of  Alver- 
stoke  (Singer's  "  I'lversloke")  ;  being  insti- 
tuted, according  to  two  certificates  at  th«* 
Record  Office,  to  Winnall  on  20  Sept.,  ifA'i

and  to  Al  verstoke  on  3  Aug.,  1703.  In  the  first 
certificate  lie  is  miscallecl  "  Joseph  Spencer." 
In  both  certificates  he  is  described  as  M.A., 
and  for  that  reason  I  have  identified  Spence's 
father  with  the  fellow  of  St.  John's,  who  was 
the  only  graduate  of  his  names  in  the  last 
decade  of  the  seventeenth  century.  He 
vacated  the  living  of  Alvoratoke  in  1714,  and 
I  have  failed  to  trace  him  later.  Singer 
believed  that  he  died  in  1721.  Can  any 
reader  supply  the  date  and  place  either  of 
iiis  marriage  or  of  his  death  ? 

The  biographers  of    .Joseph  Spence,   the 
author,  say  that  he  was  born  at  Kingsclere, 
Hants.  on*25  April,  lG99,a  dato  which  agrees 
witli   his  being  in   his  seventieth    year,  as 
sUted    on    the    tablet   in   Bytleet    clianceU 
Surrey,  when  he  died  on  20  August,  1708— 
not  20  April,  as  in   Mr.   Underhill's  'Ititro- 
<Iuction,'  p.  xxix.     Moreover,  I  am  informed 
that  the   KinRsclere   register  records   what 
seems  to  be  his  baptism  as  occurrtng  there 
on  28  May,  1G9&.     He  managed,  liowever.  to 
keep  his  reputed  age  down  to  fourteen  longer 
than  most  mortals  can.     At  the  Winchester 
College    election    of    1715,   held   apparently 
about  27  August,  he  gained   fifteenth   place 
for  a  scholarship,  and   for  some  reason  or 
other  was  tlien  entered   on  the  election  in- 
denture as  "annorurn  14  vicesimo  nouo  die  i 
Maii  ultimo  pretcrilo."     For  admission  as  a  [ 
scholar  he  had  to  wait  until  22  Sept.,  171G, 
■wlien  the  next  election  was  close  at  hand, 
and   was    then    put    down    in    the  College 
register  as  aged  fourteen  on  29  May,  171H.  In 
the  following  April   ho    matriculated  from 
Magdalen  Hall,  Oxford— when,  according  to 
Foster's  *  Alumni  Oxon.,'  he  passed  for  six- 
teen— but  he  nevertheless  remained  for  three 
years  more  at  Winchester,  becoming  head  of 
the  school  by  the  autumn  of  1719.  and  enter- 
ing OS   probationary  fellow  of   New  College 
OB   30  April,    1720,    "in  loco    Georgii    " 
defuncti." 

Spence.  when  he  died  in  1768.  seems  to 
have  had  few  living  relations.  In  his  will, 
dated  "Sedgefield,  August  4th,  1766,"  pro- 
bate of  which  (with  a  codicil)  was  granted  to 
two  of  his  executors  on  18  Feb  ,  1769,  and  to 
the  tliird(Edwardllolle)on5  May,1769(P.C.C., 
Bogg  01),  he  mentions  only  two  as  such,  whom 
he  calls  "  cousins  "  :  a  Mrs.  Lawman,  a  widow, 
whom  he  provided  with  a  small  annuity, 
and  H  Joseph  Spence  Berry,  a  lad  to  whom 
he  left  a  legacy  to  enable  him  to  be  appren- 
ticed to  a  good  trarle.  Joseph  Spence,  how- 
ever, was  apparently  not  his  parents'  only 
child  ;  for  the  Rector  of  Kingsclere  has  kindly 
informe<l  me  that  two  other  sons  of  Joseph 
and  Mirabella  Spence  were  baptized  there, 


namely,  John  (on  24  March,  1699,  O.S.)  ant 
Richard  (on  IG  March,  J 700,  OS). 

W^ho  was  the  "Mrs.  Fawkeuer.  an  opulet 
relation,"  who,  according  to  Singer,  too 
young  Spence  under  her  protection  1 
suppose  that  the  '  D.N.B ,'  liii.  33G,  has  made 
a  man  of  her  by  a  slip.  There  was  a  family  i 
this  name  at  Kingsclere  in  the  seven  teen  t 
century.  (See  Berry's  '  Hants  Genealogies^ 
p.  297.)  Singer  says  that  she  died  in  1714  ; 
and  notwithstanding  Singer's  suggestion  that 
"the  severity  of  the  school  discipline''  at 
Eton  was  the  cause  of  Spence's  removal  tq_ 
Winchester,  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  th 
ciiange  in  his  pecuniary  position  consequei 
ujwn  her  death  was  the  real  cause.  At  Et.< 
he  was  probably  an  "oppidan."  At 
rate,  his  name  is  not  in  Mr.  R.  A.  Auat 
Leigh's  'List  of  Eton  Collegers,  1661-1790.

Forty  -  five  years  ago  I  had  a  little  son 
with  ail  extraordinary  muHical  ear,  who  used 
to  pick  up  street  songs  and  others.  I  have 
no  idea  where  he  got  the  one  of  which  Col.

Party  Colours.  (See  e'*-  S.  i.  35.%  382; 
ii.  175,  337,  i'A  ;  9"'  S.  vi.  284.)— Startling 
change  ia  to  be  noted  in  election  colours.  All 
o%-er  Middlesex  the  Tories  used  to  be  "true 
blue,"  like  the  WIiIkh  in  Surrey,  while  the 
Middlesex  Whigs  used  the  Fox  Westminster 
buff  and  blue,  printing  in  blue  letters  on  a 
buff  or  light  yellow  paper.  At  the  time  of 
the  "Spirited  Foreign  Policy"  many  Tories 
took  to  the  use  of  the  red,  white,  and  blue, 
forgcttingthatthese  are  the  national  coloursof 
France  and  of  Russia  (as  well  a^  of  Holland). 
In  1886  the  opposition  to  Home  Rule  con- 
firmed thiii  odd  selection,  and  the  Liberals 
began  to  u.se  both  blue  and  red.  At  the 
present  or  last  election  red  was  the  Liberal 
colour  in  Westminster.  In  some  divisions  of 
Middlesex  the  Tories  are  now  using  red,  and 
the  Liberals  blue.  In  many  parts  of  England, 
of  course,  besides  Surrey,  tlie  Liberals  have 
long  been  blue;  but  in  other  parts  "Blue" 
is  etjujvalent  to  "Tory,"  and  the  "True  Blue" 
olubi  are  Conservative.  P.  C  S. 


Locke  Manuscrm-t.— I  think  the  following 
passage,  which  I  have  taken  from  The 
Litemry  O'azeftf  of  14  February,  1839,  will 
interest  students  of  John  Locke  :  — 

"The  Chelmsford  Chronicle  states  that  a  parcel

Mr.  Roosevelt's  Scots  Ancestry  :  Bol- 
lochs  of  Baldernock.  —  a  brief  article  on 
Mr.  Roosevelt's  Scots  ancestry  in  7'he  Dnilii 
Chronicle  of  4  January  suggests  some  curious 
minutire  not  quit*  suitable  for  a  daily  iiewK- 
paijer.  Mi.  Roosevelt's  mother.  Marlba  Bui- 
focli,  was  the  greatgraiKldaugUler  oi  a  James 
Bulloch,  who  was  born  "in  Scotland"  in 
1701,  ami  went  to  South  Carolina  in  172!1 
viii  Glasgow.  Nothing  has  been  discovered 
about  his  origin,  but  he  probably  belonged 
originally  to  atirlingshire,  for  the  parish  of 
Baldernock  is  the  cradle  of  the  Bullochs.  At 
any  rate,  a  very  interesting  coincidence  arises 
in  the  President's  love  of  an  athletic  and 
outdoor  life.  In  making  some  minute  in- 
quiries into  the  history  of  the  Stirlinpshiro 
Bullochs  I  find  that  this  characteristic  has 
become  a  tradition  in  most  of  the  families  o£ 
the  name— quite  independent  of  the  theory 
into  which  1  venture  to  press  it.  Thus  a 
record  for  throwing  the  light  weight  at  Cam- 
bridge was  recently  established  by  Mr.  J.  H. 
Bulloch,  a  member  of  the  well-known  diatil- 
ing  family  of  Glasgow,  who  originally  came 
from  Baldernock.  His  uncle  is  an  inveterate 
angler.  One  of  his  kinsmen,  Archibald 
Bulloch  (born  about  1750),  was  presented  in 
1829  with  a  sword  by  the  county  of  Dum- 
barton for  "charging  single-handed  a  number 
of  Chartists  wlio  were  in  pos-session  of  a 
forge,  making  pikes,  and  capturing  about  a 
doion  of  them.**    It  is  further  ceU^A^  «A.\via»'

manuscript  autobiography   written    by   my 

5;randfather,  whose  family  also  came  from 
ialdernoclc,  I  tind  that  hh  uncle  James 
Bulloch,  \'M\\  Dragoons,  who  was  killed  in 
the  Peninsular  War,  was  "  a  very  gigantic, 
Btrong-built  man,  6  ft,  4  in.  in  height"  He 
was  said  to  lie  a  full  yard  acroas  the 
shoulders.  His  brother  William  Bulloch, 
who  enlisted  in  the  H.L  I.  in  1806,  and  was 
wounded  at  Viltoria,  was  "  so  tall  and  stout 
that  he  passed  muster  at  the  a^e  of  fifteen  for 
a  lad  of  eighteen."  Many  a  tune,  when  the 
13tii  Dragoons  and  his  regiment  met,  "  he 
was  pointed  out  as  the  brother  of  James 
Bulloch,  the  tall  swordsman."  He  could 
'*lift  up  a  cask  weighing  4cwb.  and  place  it 
on  a  vehicle."  In  Hjgl)land  tradition  the 
Ballochs  (it  was  thus  the  name  was  origin- 
ally spelt)  were  famous  for  their  strength. 
Thus  (according  to  The  Celtic  Manazme), 
AlasUir  Baltoch,  of  Strathnaver  (.//.  1437). 
was  a  man  of  "enormous  strength  and 
stature."  These  coincidences  of  a  family 
characteristic  which  is  so  well  exemplified  in 
President  Roosevelt,  while  proving  uothiug 
in  the  way  of  descent,  are  interesting,

"Toi-iSAMBOtT."— This  odd  name  for  the 
Jerusalem  artichoke  is  rather  French  than 
English,  but  it  is  used  by  some  of  our 
aeventeenth-century  autliors.  John  Davies, 
of  Kidwelly,  in  his  '  History  of  the  Caribby 
Islands,'  ICGC,  p.  5G.  says:  "These  Topin- 
ambou-s  or  Artichokes,  which  are  now  not 
only  very  common  in  most  parts,  but  cheap, 
ana  .slighted,  as  l>eing  a  treatment  for  the 
poorer  sort,  were  heretofore  accounted  deli- 
cacies." I  cannot  find  the  term  in  any  Kng- 
Ush  dictionary.  It  is  unicjue  from  a  philo- 
logical point  of  view,  as  it  is  really  tho  name 
of  n  tribe  of  Branlian  Indians  (see  Littni). 
The  French  seem  to  have  transferred  it  from 
the  eaters  to  their  staple  diet,  much  as  we

"  lioast,"  to  which  he  gives  prominenc«\  is 
"a  name  applied  in  Scots  dialect  to  tlie  half-

goes,  but  it  is  not  a  definition,  Ono  might 
as  well  t«ll  a  Scotsman  that  an  English

Frrz-UAumcE  Family.— Can  any  of  your 
readers  say  who  the  first  wife  was  of  Thomas 
Fitzraaurioe  (b.  1502,  d.  1590),  sixteenth  Lord 
of  Kerry  and  Lixnaw,  and  by  which  of  his 
wives  he  had  issue  his  son  and  succedsor 
Patrick  and  )us  other  children  ? 

This  Thomas  was  in  foreign  parts  when, 
on  the  death  of  his  brother  (Jerald.  the 
fifteenth  lord,  in  ly.'>0,  he  succeeded  to  tlie 
title.  Lodge  in  hia  '  Peerage  of  Ireland  '

Biirren,  he  likewise  had  no  issue." 
Lough  Lein  is  the  ancient  and  present  name 
of  the  Lower  Lake  of  Killarney. 

In  a  manuscript  pedigree  of  the  Lords  of 
Kerry  in  the  British  Museum  (Hot.  Lansd. 
28),  described  as  of  the  early  seventeenth 
century,  the  order  of  Thomas  Fitzinau rice's 
first  and  second  marriages,  and  the  mother 
of  his  son  and  successor  Patrick,  are  given  as 
in  Lodge.  This  manuscript  ends  with  the 
eighteenth  lord,  who  is  descrilwd  as  "now 
Lord  of  Keyry."  The  eighteenth  lord  suc- 
ceeded 1600,  and  died  1C30,  and  it  is  not 
unreasonable  to  suppose  that  the  compiler 
of  this  pedigree,  a  contemporary  of  the 
eighteeutli  lord,  would  have  kno'Ati  who  that 
lord's  grandmother  was.  In  agreement  also 
with  Lodge  is  a  pedigree  of  tliis  family  in 
the  Cotton  MSS.,  Brit.  Mus,,  as  is  also  the 
account  uf  Thoiuas  Fitzmaurice  in  the  'Diet. 
Nat.  Bing.'  In  his  description  of  Patrick 
Fitzmaurice,  the  seventeenth  lord.  Lodge 
states  that  he  was  born  in  15-11.  This,  the 
context  shows,  must  have  beeti  a  slip,  and 
was  probably  an  error  for  1551. 

In  the  account  of  the  Fitzmaurice  family, 
however,  given  in  'The  Complete  Peerage' 
by  O.  E  C  (I8a2),  the  order  of  the  first  two 
marriages  of  the  sixteenth  lord  is  reversed, 
and  he  is  said  to  have  '*  apjmrentlv"  married 
first  Catharine,  daughter  of  Teige  AlacCarthy 
More,  and  all  his  issue  is  described  as  having 
been  by  her,  and  his  second  wife  is  said  to 
have  "  apparentty  "  beeji  Margaret,  daughter 
of  James,  fourteenth  Earl  of  Desmond. 
G-  E.  C.  produces  no  evidence  iti  support  of 
ttiis  except  the  statement  of  Loflge  (which 
there  can  be  little  doubt  was  a  clerical  error) 
that  Patrick,  the  seventeenth  loni,  was  born 
in  1541,  and  his  statement  that  Tiiumas 
Fitzmaurice  married  Jlargaret,  Desmmid's 
daughter,  after  he  succeeded  to  the  title  in 
1550.  But  Lodge  mentions  the  names  and 
gives  some  account  of  tiie  four  sons  and  the 
daughter  of  this  marriage  witii  Margaret 
Fitzgerald,  stating  that  I'atrick,  the  eldest 
of  these  sons,  was  heir  to  his  father,  whom  ho 
succeeded  in  1590.  He  also  clearly  states 
that  Thomas,  the  sixteenth  lord,  married,  nn 
his  second  wife,  Catliarine  MacCartliy  More, 
and  i»y  her  had  no  issue.  Lodge  in  compiling 
his  peerage  is  said  to  have  had  free  accesa 
to  the  papers  (now  lost  or  «lisperse<l)  of 
Francis  Thomas  (d.  1818),  twenty-third  lord 
and  third  Furl  of  Kerry,

sixteenth  lord  are  described  &s  in  Lodge,  but 
since  the  publislnnR  of  G.  E.  U.'a  '  Peerage,' 
Burke  has  altered  hia  entry,  and  now  describes 
the  sequence  of  these  marriageBand  theittaue 
ID  agreement  with  G.  E  C 

It  is  recorded  in  'The  Annals  of  the  Four 
MA4ter»' that  in  15&3  Margaret,  daughter  of 
James  Fitzgerald,  "and  wife  of  MacJIaurice, 
died  ;  and  she  [i.e  her  death]  was  a  cause  of 
lamentation  "  ;  and  in  liis  MS.  pedigree  of  the 
Earhof  Deamond(1834),  Sir  William  lietham, 
Ulster  King-of-Arms,  states  that  Margaret, 
daughter  of  James,  fourteenth  Earl  of  Des- 
mond, and  ''wife  of  Thomas  L.  of  Lixnaw 
in  Kerrj',  o'j.  1563."  Again,  in  '  Tlie  Anoals  of 
the  Four  Masters'  is  the  following  :  — 

"  1 58*2.  Catharine,  the  dauglilor  of  Teige,  ion  of 
I><>iiiiell,  son  of  Corinac  Ladhraoh  MacCarthjr,  and 
wife  of  MacMaurice  [anffUcn  Fitzniaurice]  of 
Kerry,  died.  »Slio  paasetl  Iter  last  days  upon  the 
lake  of  Lean  Lirifhiaclaigh,  moving  from  oiio  island 
to  another  throuKh  fear  of  iho  [ilunderera  ;  and  ahe 
wa!)  interred  in  the  monastery  of  Airbheallaoh 
[Muckrosa  Abbey]." 

Here,  then,  is  mention  of  the  dates  of  the 
deaths  of  both  Margaret  and  Catharine,  the 
wivos  of  Thomas  Fttzmaurice,  and  Margaret 
is  «aid  to  have  predeceased  Catliarine  by 
nineteen  years. 

Of  i*atrick,  seventeenth  Lord  of  Kerry, 
Lodge  records  that  he  waa  "  whilst  very 
voung  sent  into  England  in  the  nature  of  a 
nosLuge  to  Q.  Mary,"  and  educated  at  the 
English  Court  till  upwards  of  twent)'  years 
of  age.  If  Patrick  was  born  in  Ibbl,  he  would 
have  been  two  years  old  when  Mary  ascended 
the  throne,  and  seven  years  old  at  her 
death.  Patrick  died  12  Aug.,  IfitX)  and  Loilge 
states  that  "  be  lies  buried  witd  Ids  uncle 
Donald,  Earl  of  Clancare,  in  that  earl's  tomb 
in  the  Grey  Friary  of  Irrelaugli,  iti  Desmond." 
Now  the  Earl  of  Clancare  married  Honora, 
daughter  of  James,  fourteenth  Earl  of  Des- 
mond, and  consequently  would  have  been 
undo  by  marriage  to  Patrick  Fitzmaurice 
liad  the  latter  been  son  of  Margaret,  Des- 
motid's  other  daughter,  who  married  Thomas 
Fitzmaurice.  liad  Patrick  been  Thomas's 
«on  by  C'alharine,  daughter  of  Teige  Mac- 
Carthy,  the  Earl  of  Clancare  would  have 
lieen  his  great  uncle.  Tliis  Donald  (or  Donal) 
MacCiirthy  More,  Earl  of  Clancare  (the  first 
and  last  oiirl),  ho  crcateti  by  Elizalveth  in  1505, 
did  not  die  till  I.'^tOT.and  it  .seems  exceedingly 
improbnblo  that  Catharine,  his  brother  Teige  a 
dauKhtor,  would  iiavt^  lieen  old  enough  to  be 
first  wife  of  Thomas  Fitzmaurice  and  nu)ther 
of  bis  son  Patrick  iu  ia-»I.  There  are  niatjy 
references  to  Pwirick  in  the  State  W^wm,  but 
I  fintl  no  mention  nt  the  date  of  hit  birth. 

Sucli   authorities  im  Burko  and  G.  E,  C 


must  be  referred  to  with  respect,  but  ibei 
seems  to  be  goo<J  reason  for  thinking  ih 
they  are  in  error  in  their  description  of  tl 
marriages  and  issue  of    Thomas,  sixteen 
Lord  of  Kerry  and  Lixnaw.    Sufficient  evi- 
dence lias  certainly  not  been  put  forward  for 
altering    the  hitherto  accepted   pedigree  of 
this  family.     Can  any  one  supply  furtbi

Peacock  as  a  Christmas  Svmbol.— Tlie 
appearance  of  the  peacock  oti  the  covers  of 
several  Christmas  magazines  has  raised  the 
following  queries.  How  is  the  peacock 
symbolic  of  Christmas  1  What  is  the  origin 
of  the  Christmas  peacock  pjie?  The  tradition 
that  a  peacock's  llesh  is  incorruptible,  and 
therefore  the  peacock  a  symbol  of  the 
Resurrection,  would  seem  to  associate  this 
bird  with  Easter  rather  than  with  Christmas. 
Yet  we  have  numerous  descriptions  of  the 
peacock  pie  and  the  ceremony  attending  its 
appearance  at  the  Christmas  feast.     Whv  ?

born  in  the  Tower,  where  her  father 
was  confineiJ  from  May.  17-16,  till  18  Feb- 
ruary, 1748,  where  he  was  allowed  to  lodge 
at  the  house  of  the  messenger.  I  do  not  know 
the  exact  date  of  her  birth,  but  there  are 
some  curious  circumstances  to  l>e  not«d  re- 
garding it.  In  the  letter  which  Mr.  HuiXOCH 
quotes,  of  date  30  October,  1746,  her  uncle, 
Sir  John  Gordon,  says  that  Lady  Cromartie 
is  now  "  within  a  very  few  weeks  of  her 
time."  Twelve  weeks  afterwards  there  ap- 
pears an  announcement  in  TIu  Scoti  J/  ■  m 
lint:  "23  January,  1747,  at  the  Town  .f 
London,  the  Countess  of  Cromartie  of  a  ihrni 
child."  When  the  mental  strain  which  she 
must  have  undergone  for  months  is  con- 
sidered, tiiis  is  only  what  might  liave 
been  expected  ;  but,  extraordinary  to  re- 
late, six  months  afterwards  there  appears 
another  announcement  in  the  same  pcriotiical : 
"  27  July,  1747,  In  the  Tower  of  ImiuIou,  the 
Countess  of  Cromartie  of  a  dauchter."  It  is, 
of  course,  impossible  tl»at  Lany  Cromartie 
can  have  had  a  child  in  January,  and  another 
in  July  of  tlie  same  year;  in  ordinary  cir- 
cumstances one  would  say  the  first  entrv  w»jj 
an  error,  though  how  originated  would  be 
hard  to  say.  But  then  we  Jiave  Sir 
John  Gordon's  letter  of  30  October  giving 
tiie  news  that  a  birth  was  expected  shortly. 
I  have  no  solution  of  the  puzzle  to  oflfcr. 

It  is  said  that  Augusta,  the  <iaught«r  who 
was  born  in  the  Tuwor,  had  tho  mark  of  an 
axe  and  three  drops  of  blood  upon  one  side 
of  her  neck  ;  but  this  has  already  been

the  ordinary  searcljer,  coia|>elliiig  au  enor- 
mous pretimiuary  waate  of  time  to  get  at  the 
simplest  thing. 

1  think  the  late  Mr.  Cornelius  Walford 
issued  a  project  for  a  catalogue  of  news- 
pajwrs.  In  Mr.  Boase'a  'Modern  Enieli.sh 
Biography '  are  lists  (see  indexes  to  each 
volume)  of  hundreds  of  newspapers,  pub- 
lished all  over  the  world.  But  aa  a  whole 
there  h  no  guide  yet  publislied,  and  an 
inquirer  simply  looks  into  an  abyss  of  dark- 
uenH.  There  are  two  lists  of  great  value  : 
*  The  Newspaper  Press  iJirectory  '  and  '  Wil- 
ling's  PresD  Qulde' ;  but  Ihe^e  are  trade,  not 
Btudents'  lists.  Tims,  when  a  weekly  like 
Grind  lay's  Home  Xetcs  fur  India,  aher  a 
useful  and  I  may  say  honourable  career  of 
fifty  years,  ceases  to  be  published,  it  drops 
out  of  tlie  lists,  like  th^  name  of  a  person  in 
the  '  P.O.D.'  The  guides  give  no  parting 
word,  no  history. 

In  the  series  of  papers  at  the  B.M.  there 
will  be  found  j>ccasional  gaps,  more  annoying, 

ferhapa,  to  the  librarian  than  tlie  searcher, 
have  mentioned  such  in  my  bibliogrRphy 
'Swimming'  frequently,  though  I  can  only 
recollect  that  on  p.  3G6,  relative  to  a  paper 
calte<}  iVo^^fi.  I  think  it  is  generally  early 
Aud  last  numbers  that  are  deficient.  Some 
Ipapera  never  get  to  the  B.M.  at  all,  as,  for 
example,  a  weekly  called  Pastime.  I  do  not 
actually  say  it  was  not  in  the  library  when  I 
wrote  p.  377,  but  it  can  be  inferred,  as  I  was 
able  Uj  refer  only  to  the  *  P.O.D.' 

Un  24  August.  1868,  there  was  sold  <lots 
1209  to  1302)  at  Sotheby's  "a  collection  of 
short  lived  periodicals  illustrative  of  the 
history  of  English  jieriodical  literature."

importance  who  first  discovered  Dickens's 
blunder  (or  sarcasm?)  in  making  Squeers 
send  Ilia  pupil  to  weed  the  ganJen  in  raid- 
winter  ;  but  as  the  question  has  been  raiser), 
it  may  l)e  said  that  the  first  to  put  it  in  print 
(so  far  as  I  know)  was  the  late  Piobert  H. 
Newell  ("Orpheus  C.Kerr'"),  in  chap.  ii.  of 
the  travesty  of  '  Edwin  Droo«i '  entitled  'The 
Cloven  Foot,'  which  he  publislied  in  1870, 
sfiiatim  with  the  original,  in  the  New  York 
comic  pa[>er  I'unckinello,  and  reprinted  ia 
book  form.     1  cite  his  note  : — 

"In  anticipation  of  any  critical  objection  to  tLo

few  pages  later,  in  the  same  chapter,  one  of  Mr.

I  may  remark  that  the  whole  book  is  a  \*cry 
cle\'er  and  instructive  (though  coarse- 
thumbe<i  and  rather  vulgar)  study  in 
bringing  out  the  weak  spotfl  in  a  work  of  art 
by  minutely  restating  its  positions,  and 
adapting  its  detail  under  new  conditions— a 
different  method  frotn  Burnatid's  in  the 
'  Pocket  Ibsen,'  which  is  mainly  to  clear 
away  brush  woofl  and  leave  the  essential 
outline  glaringly'  visible.  The  introduction 
also  discusses  acutely  the  causes  for  the

American  biographical  notices)  show^ing  the 
relationfihip  between  Sir  William'-*  grand- 
father and  James,  the  Lieutenant-rjovernor 
of  New  York.  This  pedigree  <lilTers  from 
that  appearing  in  Burke's  '  Landecl  Gentry' 
(1846,  second  cd.,  p.  1361),  in  which  General 
Oliver  De  Lancey  and  Mina  Franks  are  given 
as  Sir  William's  grandparents.  Having  made 
no  original  re-search  in  the  matter,  I  am 
unable  to  state  which  pedigree  is  correct.

lished  at  13^.  6d  ,  half-boun<I  9s.,"  with  a 
notice  of  it  from  7'fie  A'nropean  Maifiithu^  but 
without  a  dat«.  One  asks  now  :  Where  in 
The  Kurofidin  Magazineoi  the  years  1808-15 
to  be  Keen,  and  in  wliich  number  is  the  notice 
of  *  Rol>ecca'  contained  ?      E.  S.  Dodgson, 

Obindleton  (lO""  S.  V.  10).— In  all  cases  of 
place- names  evidence  i^  better  than  gueus. 
If  Grindleton  can,  by  evidence,  be  connected 
with  Qreendale,  it  would  be  best  to  allow 
that  connexion,  iteeing  that  Oreendale  would 
most  easily  pa.i8  into  Grindle  by  ordinary 
euphonic  laws.  For  we  know  that  Green- 
wich is  pronounced  Grin'ich,  and  that  the 
dale  in  Tyndal  (Tyuedale)  is  pronounced  a* 
if  it  were  Tindle. 

Every  reader  of  *I?t-owulf'  ooon  discovers 
that  two-thirds  of  the  poem  concern  Grendel, 
•who  is  not  a  human  being  at  all,  but  a 
horrible  dumb  monster  who  dwelt  near  a 
morass— the  very  last  creature  to  found  a 
town,  or  to  have  a  town  named  after  him. 
Even  if  it  bad  been,  the  name  would  have 
been  Grinders-ton  ;  you  cannot  get  rid  of 
the  ceniti%'al  x  when  possession  is  implied. 

All  the  place-names  connected  witli  Grendel 
are  remote  from  human  dwellingH,  by  the 
nature  of  the  case  ;  I  find  at  lea-st  five  ex- 
amples in  Birch'a  'Cartularium.'  These  are  : 
(1)  Grendeles  pytt,  Grondel's  pit,  noted  a>^ 
being  near  a  marsh  (Birch,  i.  177) ;  (2,  3) 
Grendeles  mere,  Grendel's  mere  (B.  ii.  364, 
iii.  223);  (4)  Grindeles  sylle.  Grendcl's  miro 
or  alough  (B.  iii,  189) ;  f5)  Grindles  bH'c, 
Grindels  beck  or  stream  (B.  iii.  588).     These 

frits,  meres,  sloughs,  and  becks  were  doubt - 
ess  lonely  and  dreary  ;  for  Grendel  prac- 
tically connotes  a  demon,  as  when  we  say 
the  "Devil'n  Punchbowl." 

Walter  W.  Skeat. 

I  collected  the  following  variants,  viz., 
Grindle,  Devon  and  Salop  ;  Grendelbruch, 
Elsaas;  Grindelwald,  Berne;  Grundot, 
Styria.  Though  the  vowels  vary,  the  root  is 
identical.  So  far  as  the  "Devil  and  l)i.s 
dam  "in  'Beowulf  goes,  the  analogy  is  with 
a  fetid  swamp,  a  sort  of  ceaapool.        A.  H.

was  in  fact  ever  made  consul.  Extravagant 
honour  was  also  paid  by  the  Emperor  \'eru8 


to  his  horse  Volucris.  Probably  botli  these-

Pig  :  Swine  :  Hoc  (lO"-  S.  iv.  407,  449, 
510,  536),— The  proverbial  expression  "obsti- 
nate a-s  a  pig"  was  used  by  Garrick  (died 
1779),  as  stated  in  Langton's  recollections  of 
Johnson  given  in  Boswell  at  the  beginning 
of  1780  (Birkbeck  Hill's  edition,  iv.  17),  It 
would  be  interesting  to  know  iu  which  of 
Garrick's  works  the  expression  occurs. 

In  conversation  on  C  April,  1775  (Hill's. 
'  Baswell,'  ii,  344),  Johnson  used  the  word 
"  pigs "  in  the  sonae  recorded  in  his  dic- 
tionary. 

Byron,  in  his  letter  to  Murray  on  Bowles's 
'Strictures  on  tlie  Life  and  Writings  of  Pope' 
(dated  Ravenna,  7  Feb.,  1821),  wrote  :  "They 
might  have  heard  the  poetical  winds  howling 
through  the  chinks  of  a  pig-stv,  or  the  garret 
window."  L.  It.  Jl.  Strachan.

Let  us  not  forget  a  famih'ar  example  of

"  A.s  a  jewel  of  gold  in  a  swine's  snout,  bo  i» 
a  fair  woman  which  is  without  discretion."

Fitz-Allen  seeks  information  with  regard  to 
the  death  of  Soubi.se  in  Calcutta,  when 
Memory  Middlelon  resided  there.  There  are 
many  references  to  Middletoii.  in  Col.  Malle- 
son'a  life  of  Warren  Hastings  ;  also  in  Capt. 
Trotter's  life  of  Hastings  ("  Ilulers  of  India '% 
and  in  Busteed's  'Echoes  of  Old  Calcutta.' 

Middleton  represented  the  English  Govern- 
ment at  the  Court  of  Oudli  in  1773.  Owing 
to  differences  of  opinion  between  hira  and 
Col.  Champion  as  to  the  amount  due  from 
the  NawaoWazir  for  assistance  rendered 
liim  by  Engli.^li  troops,  the  subject  was  sub- 
mitted to  the  Council  held  in  Calcutta  on 
'2^  Oct.,  1774,  immediately  on  the  arrival  of 
Philip  Francis,  the  reputed  author  of  tlio 
letters  of  Junius.  As  a  result,  Middleton 
was  recalled,  and  remained  in  Calcutta  till 
22  Dec,  1776,  when  he  was  restored  to  his 
former  position  as  Resident  at  Luckuow,  bub 
in  consequence  of  his  negligence  in  pressing 
the  Nawab  of  Oudli  to  pay  his  debts  to  the 
East  India  Company,  he  was  severely  cen- 
sured by  Warren  Hastings  in  August,  178^ 
and  deprived  of  his  appointment.  In  all 
probability,  Middleton  returned  to  England  ; 
for  Hastings  in  a  letter  to  his  wife  in  Eng- 
land, dated  13  Aug.,  1784,  from  Lucknow,

—I  hope  1  may  excusably  add  one  word.  It 
wajj  not  indifference  to  verification,  but  tho 
lending  of  mv  copj'  of  Dean  Ramsay's  volume, 
which  caused  me  unwittingly  to  misinterpret 
that  worthy  humorist.  I  was  inipelled  to 
quote  from  memory.  Thus  from  T.  F.  D.'s

The  King  of  Bath  (10<»'  S.  v.  28).— The 
list  wliicli  I  desire*!  seems  fo  be  supplied  by 
'no  loss  an  authority  than  Pliilin  Tiucknesse 
in  'The  Xew  Bath  Guide'  Possibly  the 
"Censor- General  of  Great  Britain.  Professor 
of  Empiricism,  and  casual  Compiler,  Rape 
and  Murder  -  Monger  to  77ie  St.  Jnfiun's 
CltromrW  was  not  so  great  a  liar  as  he  is 
painted,  for  liia  brief  history  of  the  Masters 
of  CVremonics  shows  none  of  tho  virulence  or 
exaggeration  that  his  enemies  always  ascribed 
to  him.  On  tho  contrary,  his  account  tallies 
with  many  details  that  are  found  in  oilier 
sources. 

According  to  Governor  Thicknesse,  Capb. 
Webster  held  office  from  1703  to  1710,  and  ui>on 
his  death  in  tlie  latter  year  was  succeeded 
by  his  proti'g<i,  the  famous  Ricliaid  Nash. 
After  the  death  of  tlie  ancient  Beau,  on 
3  Feb.,  1761,  a  Mr.  Collect  occupied  the  post 
for  a  brief  peiiofl.  Another  notorious  per- 
eon  then  came  into  othce,  Samuel  Drrrick  to 
wit,  who,  in  spile  of  "  much  opposition  "—I 
ara  quoting  the  ''Gunner  of  Landguard 
Fort  ^^reignad  until  his  decease  on  28 March, 


1769.  Two  rival  kings  then  arose,  Mr.  Plomer 
and  Maior  William  BreretoD.  Each  was 
powerfully  .suppnrte<J,  and  for  a  time  there 
were  two  Masters  of  Ceremoniea.  Finally, 
the  parties  came  to  terms,  and  on  18  April, 
1769,  Capt.  Wade,  son  of  the  general,  was 
apfKiintfld.  Upon  his  resignation,  on  8  July, 
1777,  there  were  seven  candidates  for  the 
vacant  position,  and  tlie  situation  seems  to 
have  been  rendered  more  difficult  from  tho 
fact  that  a  New  Assembly  Room  had  been  in 
existence  since  <  October,  1771,  After  an  ex- 
citing contest  the  victory  lay  between 
William  Dawson  and  Major  William  BreretoD, 
when,  at  a  meeting  of  the  subscribers  to  the 
dress  balls,  it  was  thought  advisable  (or  more 
politic),  since  Bath  was  growing  larger  and 
its  visitors  more  numerous,  to  elect  a  Master 
of  Ceremonies  for  each  room.  Thus  Brereton 
and  Dawson  shared  the  throne,  the  former 
ofHciating  at  the  Old,  and  the  latter  at  the 
New  As.sembly  liooms.  After  three  years 
the  fighting  major  retired,  and  in  1780 
Richard  Tyson  took  liis  place.  Both  Masters 
wore  beautiful  medallions,  and  the  now  re<jime 
seems  to  have  been  a  success. 

Thicknesse  reproduces  their  portraits  in 
his  book.  A  monograph  on  the  dour,  hard- 
hitting governor-doctor  would  be  a  welcome 
addition  to  eighteenth-century  literaturo, 
and,  since  biographers  of  Gainslwrough  seem 
generally  to  regard  liim  as  a  prickly  person, 
to  be  lightly  handled,  tho  work  might  bo  of 
some  assistance  to  critics  of  art.  There  is 
plenty  of  material,  and  there  is  no  reason 
why  the  lK)ok  should  not  be  well  done.

"Was  you?"  and  "Yoc  was"  (10"^  S.  i. 
609  ;  ii.  72,  157  ;  v.  32).— Some  of  your  readers 
will  remember  tliat  Horace  Walpole  declares 
in  one  of  his  letters  that  the  invariable  three 
questions  of  the  royal  family  at  a  levee  or 
drawing-room  were:  "Do  you  love  riding?" 
"Do  you  love  music?"  *'Waa  you  at  tiie 
opera?"  North  Midland. 

Suicides  buried  in  the  Open  Fields 
(10"'  S.  iv.  340,  397,  475,  514).— It  must  be 
remembered  in  connexion  with  this  subject 
that  all  suicides  were  not  punished  iu  the 
.same  way.  It  waa  not  a  matter  of  law,  but 
of  custom,  which  wa8  regulated  by  the 
xuonkB,  and  whicli  naturally  varied  in 
different  places  and  at  different  times. 
Wliile  moat  suicides  were  buried  at  cross- 
roads, some  were  not  buried  at  all :  some 
(those  that  had  killed  themselves  in  the  sea) 
were  buried  on  the  coast ;  and  some,  as  I 
uphold,  were  buried  in  the  fields.  These 
are.  of  course,  a  few  only  of  the  customs, 
and  do  not  all  relate  to  any  one  country  or 
district.  In  r«  S.  vi.  353  a  case  is  cited  of  a 
burml  at  the  junction  of  the  estates  of  three 
dulerent  Flintshire  landowners. 

Suiyides  were  under  ecclesiastical  dis- 
abilities,  and   were    looked    upon   as    irre- 


vocably lost  to  religion.  They  were  felons 
and  traitors.  It  does  not  seeru  prol>al>le, 
then,  that  they  were  W'"-''-'!  "'  -r.  —  ...^^fj, 
merely  to  be  under  the  :  'ss 

that  was  usually  ere — :  .  .  _^-.  & 
thing  seems  contrary  to  the  l>ari>arity  with 
which  [they  were  generally  treated.  As  an 
example  of  what  waa  not  uncommou,  I  wil] 
relate  what  occurred  in  Franco  8o  lato  as 
1749.  The  corpse  of  Portier,  the  suicide,  was 
dragged  through  the  streets  of  Paris,  with 
ita  face  scraping  the  ground,  to  the  place  of 
common  execution.  It  was  suspended  tl;ere 
by  the  feet  for  tweutyfour  nours,  taken 
down,  and  Hung  on  the  highway  to  be 
devoured  by  beasts.  Although  France  was 
on  the  whole  more  barbarous  titan  wd  were, 
a  case  of  great  brutality  occurred  in 
Scotland,  as  may  be  seen  by  referring  to 
1"  S,  V,  272. 

There  seems  to  be  little  doubt  that  the 
.stake  driven  through  a  suicide  wa<t  intended 
lo  keep  his  ghost  from  rising  and  tiisturbinit 
the  neighbourhood  at  night.  Wliether  it 
was  or  was  not  intended  as  an  inault,  it  acttd 
as  one. 

There  is  one  thing  that  does  not  seem  to 
have  been  well  explained,  and  that  is  why 
these  mysterious  burials  were  by  law  obliged 
to  take  place  iu  the  dark,  between  certain 
hours.  H.  T.  Smith. 

In  the  churcli  wardens'  accounts  of  Waods-

Cou'ing  a  poore  mans  grave  in  the  IJeKlet,ii|" 
Would  this  refer  to  a  suicide  not  buried  ta 
the  churchyard  ?  I  may  add  that  io  the 
burial  register  there  is  no  entry  of  any  one 
being  buried  in  the  fields.  LirrabiaX.

"These  are  the  Britons,  a  barbarous 
B-vcb"  (10^''  S.  iv.  filO;  v.  31).— My  first  aip 
of  English  history  was  taken  from  a  humbler 
vessel  than  that  mentioned  by  Mr.  R.  B. 
Marston,  and  yet  I  believe  it  to  have  been 
the  article  sought  by  your  Minne.sota  corre- 
spondent. In  the  early  fortieji  a  little  paper- 
coveretl  book,  of  some  twenty  leaves,  was  put 
into  my  hands  to  minister  to  my  pleasure 
and  my  pains.  It  was  called,  I  think,  'Our 
Native  England  ;  or,  the  Historical  House 
that  Jack  Built,'  and  had  on  every  page  a 
short  verse  and  a  woodcut,  referring  to  the 
period  or  the  monarch  to  which  it  was  appro- 
priated. I  do  not  remember  either  the  name 
of  the  publislier  or  that  of  the  author,  but  I 
know  tne  ingenious  creature  began  with  the 
words  that  bead  my  reply,  and  that  the 
opening  stanza  was  :— 

TheM  are  the  Britona,  a  barbarous  race, 
Chieflv  etn|iloyed  iu  war  or  (he  ch&ie. 
Who  awolt  ill  Our  Native  Engknd. 

Then  he  faced  the  Romans,  and,  after 
succinctly  arousing  the  learner's  curiosity 
«lK)ut  them,  cleverly  ran  him  back  again  to 
the  Britons,  thus  : — 

Tlie«e  are  the  Roniana,  n.  r^eople  bold. 
<)f  whom  many  wonderful  stories  are  tolil ;

There  was  originally  a  spoon  amongst  the

"The  new  government  [i.e.,  the  Common- 
wealth] encountered  at  first  only  jxnaive 
resiiUince ;  but  this  it  encountered  every- 
where"; and  on  p.  18,  "To  the  jhissire 
resistance  of  the  country  were  soon  added, 
against  the  government  of  the  republic,  the 
attacks  of  its  enemies." 

The  first  use  of  this  collocation  of  adjec- 
tive and  substantive  I  should  expect  to  find 
in  the  works  of  some  divine  to  whom  the 
doctrines  of  "  passive  obedience"  and  "non- 
resistance"  (immortalized  in  the  third  verse 
of  'The  Vicar  of  Bray  ')  were  familiar.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,     [lo-'^s.  v. j^s. 27,  i«6. 


Selling  Onesklf  to  the  Devil  (10"'  S.  v. 
29).— What  thia  phrase  siRnified  to  our  fore- 
fathers is  to  b©  gathered  from  Marlowe's 
'Faastus.'  The  terms  of  part  of  the  docu- 
ment which  Faustus  signs  with  his  blood  are 
worth  quoting  here  : — 

"I,  John  FaoBtas,  of  Wittenberg,  Doctor,  by 
these  preaentB,  do  give  both  body  and  soul  to 
Lucifer,  prince  of  the  East,  and  his  minister 
Mcphistophilis,  and  furthermore  grant  unto  them, 
four-and-twenty  years  being  expired,  and  these 
articles  above  written  being  inviolate,  full  i)ower 
to  fetch  or  carry  the  said  John  Faustus,  body  and 
soul,  llesh  and  blood,  into  their  habitation  where- 
soever."' 

For  the  same  consideration  as  that  for 
which  Faustus  sold  himself,  "  to  lire  in  all 
voluptuousness,"  a  similar  bargain  was  made 
by  a  French  magician,  I'rbain  Grandier,  in 
the  early  seventoenih  century.  The  pact 
made  b^'  hini  with  Satan  used  to  be  preserved 
in  the  archivefl.  of  I'oitiers.  Its  text  is  tran- 
scribwl,  in  botii  Latin  and  French,  in  Collin 
de  Plancy's  *  Dictioniiaire  Infernal,'  1826, 
and  as  it  is  even  moi*e  explicit  than  the 
Eoglisli  one  above  I  append  the  French 
version  : — 

"  Klonsieur  et  Maitre  Lucifer,  je  vous  reconnais

applied  to  the  Earl  of  Salisbury.

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  Ac. 

Karl!/  English  DramatUfi.—Six  AnonymoHH  Plays, 
t.  1510  -  /">-V.  Edited  l>y  John  S.  Farmer. — 
ih-amntic  Wridiiifii  of  John  Ilrytnood.  Edited  by 
John  ^?.  Farmer.  Printed  by  Sulncriplion. 
Under  the  charge  of  Mr.  John  S.  Farmer,  to  whom 
are  owinu  mnny  srnrce  and  curious  reprints  and 
publications,  nuw  u|i|»Gur  the  tirst  two  volume*  of 
■what— if  contiuued  iis  it-  ia  begun— will  be  an  abso- 
lutely inappreciable  boon  to  the  Aliideitt.  Nearly 
iialf  a  century  ago  we  cried  out  for  exactly  what  is 
now  being  given  us— a  collective  editinn  of  thn 
Tudor  dramatiitts  under  tiie  heads  of  the  varioua 
writers,  and  with  nuppleinental  volumes  containing 
anonymous  iitaya  arranged,  so  far  as  possible,  in 
ehronological  order.  The  first  two  volumes  of  a 
work  precisely  of  the  cla»8  thus  indicated  are  >>efore 
ne.  One  volume  contains  all  the  known  dramatic 
writinga  of  John  Hey  wood,  six  in  number;  the 
Other  supplies  six  anonymous  works  of  approxi- 
mately the  same  dale. 

It  is,  of  course,  with  the  mysteries  and  nmralitioa 
that  the  present  wxxb  is  concerned.  To  tliese 
compositions,  wliich  follow  immediat«Iy  upon  the 
liturgical  drama,  tlie  volumes  are  necessarily  con- 
secrated. Hey  wood's  plays  or  dialogues  have,  how- 
ever, a  certain  vein  of  comedy,  though  far  inferior 
to  thai  which,  at  a  period  almost  corresponding, 
was  shown  in  France  in  the  farce  of  'Maistre 
Pierre  Palheliu.'  The  characters  arc  genuine 
human  1>eing*.  and  not  mere  abstrnctioa^*;  and  the 
satire  of  worthless  wives  and  of  prieslH  — the  latter 
•specially— is  niarvellouBly  outspoken,  considering 
that  the  writer  w.is  a  Roman  Catholic  and  the 
father  of  a  sufficiently  aggressive  Jesuit  priest. 

Of  the  six  anonymons    iilays— which    consist  of  i 
'The    Four    Elements,"     '  Calisto    and     Melibjca,' i 
•Every  Man,'  '  Hickscorner,'  'The  World  and  the  I 
Child,    and  'Tlier^ites'— some  are  genuine  morali-  | 
ties,  such  action  as  is  exhibited  being  in  the  hands  ! 
of  heings  like  Studious  Desire  and  Sensual  Ai  )p«tite, 
or  Perseverance.  Imagination,  LVintcmiilulion,  and 
Freo  Will,  or,  again,  Mundua,  Infans,  Manhood, 
•nd  Conscience.    In  '  Thersites '  and  the  play  now 
named  'Caiistn  and  Meliba^a'  wc  have  names  of 
real  iiersons.      Both   these  works  have,  however, 
been  assigned    to  John    Heywood,   though  on   no 
very  troslworlhy  anthority    and    with    no    great 
probability  of  accuracy.     The  latter  is,  indeed,   a 
translation  uf  a  portion  of  the  Sjvaniah  drama  in 
twenty-one    acta     of     Fernando    de     Koja-^i,    now 
irenerally  known  »>s  'Celestina,'  or  in  English  'The 
Bpani''h  It^wd.'     Celestina,  the  prnenress  in  ques- 
liM  H    as   one    of    the   cliaracters,    and    is

We  cannot  allenipl  to  dval  with  the  literary 
claims  of  works  which  belong  to  the  foundation 
and  growth  of  owr  draitia,  and  are  of  course 
known  to  the  student.  The  appearance  of  the 
volumes  '\<i  admirable :  tliey  are  on  ex<^lleul  pai>er, 


are  printed  artistically,  and  have  elegant  bind, 
ings  that  will  grace  any  shelves.  The  frontis- 
iiieco  to  the  writings  of  Heywood  appears  in 
facsimile  ;  the  woodcut  portrait  of  Heywood  which 
is  supplied  was  preHjted  in  I35({  to  his  'The  Spider 
and  the  Flie,'  and  in  I.j62  to.' Epigrams  utiock 
Provecba.'  Facsimiles  of  title-pages  are  given  aUo 
in  this  and  the  companion  volume.  'Note-Booka'' 
and  'Word-Lists'  are  included  in  both  volumes,, 
and  fulfil  a  useful  purpose,  siipnlying  alt  bibjio- 
graphical,  literary,  atid  glossarial  information  at 
iiresent  attainable,  together  with  the  rarw 
hrtiontx.  It  is  apropos  of  this  estimable  fuature 
that  such  qualms  arise  as  we  now  feel.  The  scheme 
is  noble  ;  it  may  oven  be  said  ideal  Is  such  a  work 
within  the  range  of  one  life,  however  industrious 
and  jirolongod?  Enormous  labour,  and,  it  may  be 
added,  very  considerable  capital,  are  necessary  to- 
see  to  the  end  an  undertaking  which  might  lax  the 
resources  of  one  or  other  of  iFio  Universiiy  Presaes 
or  a  no  less  great  and  auguit  tirni  such  as  the 
Longmans.  Energy,  meanwhile,  of  a  scholar  such 
as  a  Dyoe  of  yesl«rday  or  a  Bulleo  of  to-day  i» 
requisite  to  bring  the  task  to  a  successful  issue.  It 
would  even  seem  as  if  what  the  Frencli  call  a, 
"ocit-tt!.  dfit  fftnx  (It  UtirfH  should  be  secured,  except 
that  materials  for  such  a  society  csan  scarcely  oe

effort,  credit  him  with  serious  intention,  and  trust 
he  will  nt  least  exhibit  much  acconiplisjiment  i» 
regard  to  his  ambitious  task. 

A  Boot  for  n  Painy  Datj.    By  John  Thomas  Smith.

Tiior*;H  consisting  of  chips  from  a  workshop,  th» 
'  Hook  for  a  Kainy  Day'  earned,  in  its  lime,  a  con- 
siderable measure  of  fwiiularity,  and  was  once 
familiarly  quoted.  It,  still  ranks  with  'The  Table 
Talk  of  Samuel  Rogors,*  and  has  a  distinct  message 
fur  the  present  generation.  Asia  to  be  exjiected, 
considering  the  period  with  which  its  recollections- 
of  persons  and  things  are  concerned — the  years, 
namely,  between  1760  and  l&Tl— it  has  reached  a 
timo  when  it  calls  for,  and  is  supplied  with,  ex< 
planatory  notes  and  comment  a.  Smith— whom  the- 
present  age  boa  all  bnt  forgotten— was  a  topo- 
graphical draughtsman  and  antiquary,  and  a  fairlr 
voluminous  author,  his  lieat  book  l>eing  'Xollekens 
and  hia  Times,'  published  in  18*28.  He  was  ar» 
accurate  observer,  and  seems  to  have  been  an  early 
one  also,  since  his  observations  are  said  to  have- 
l>eg«n  in  17W),  in  which  year,  on  the  23rd  of  June, 
he  was  i>roiiiaturely  born  in  a  hackney  coach  ill 
which  his  mother  was  returning  from  a  visit.  At 
the  close  of  his  life  he  was  Keeper  of  Prints  and* 
Drawings  in  the  British  Museum.  Opportunities 
for  obtaining  iiiforination  al>out  Kollekeus  were 
ample,  since  .Smiih's  futher  NAthaniel— at  one  time 
a  sculptor  and  afterwards  a  printseiler — was  chief' 
assistant  to  NoUekenH,  in  whose  studio  Smith  him- 
self was  from  1778  to  17SI.  This  lifo  liiis  been 
declared  the  "most  candid  ever  pnbliHJied  '\\\ 
England."  Among  other  books  of  iSmilh  niay  be 
mentioned  'The  Ancient  Topography  of  London' 
(perhaps  hia  most  important  production)  and 
'  Vagaboodiana  ;  or.  Anecdotes  of  Mendicant  Wan- 
derers through  the  Streets  of  Loudon.' 

The  *  Book  for  a  Kainy  D.*y  '  merits  ils  title.  It

IVY    LANE,    STR.\ND. 

Mr.  p.  NoRMAS'a  volume  on  'London 
Vani«hetl  and  Vanisbing,'  noticed  at  10'*'  S. 
iv,  5.38>,  was  one  of  tl«e  most  interesting  of 
the  topogi-a7>ltical  works  publislied  during 
the  past  j-ear.  Many  additions  to  hi-s  list 
will  undoubtedly  have  to  be  made  from  time 
to  time,  but  the  interest  in  any  future  edition 
would  l>e  materially  increased  if  a  chapter  on 
•  V*ni->ilic<l  and  Vanishing  Streets'  were  in- 
i  eluded.  Even  narrow  passages,  into  which 
lew  or  no  dwellingjj  opened  may  have  con- 
tained hous&s  or  possessed  associations  worthy 
of  Ijeing  recorded.  To  one  of  this  latter  kind 
I  de.sire  to  draw  attention,  viz.,  to  Ivy  Lane, 
Strand,  nearly  opposite  the  Vaudeville 
Theatre.  This,  after  having  existed  for 
several  centuries,  has  within  the  last  few 
years  been  obliterated,  so  far  as  the  public 
are  concerned,  without  any  special  notice  of 
its  loss  being  takiinin  any  of  the  newspapeis. 
The  extension  of  the  Hotel  Cecil  westwards 
absorbed  this  lane  into  its  precincts,  and  its 
entrance  is  now  close<l  by  an  iron  gale. 

Ivy  Lano  wiw  one  of  several  narrow 
•iteep  pa-isages  which  acle«I  as  waterways,  iu 
CraasoiittJng  to  the   river  various   streams 


which  descended  from  the  higher  ground  of 
Covent  Garden  and  its  vicinity,  especially  on 
the  eastern  side.  In  July,  1607,  the  supply 
of  water  to  Durham  Hou.se  is  stated. to  bo 
derived  from  "a  certain  spring  head  or  con- 
duit situate  in  the  Covent  Garden  "  (Hatfield 
MSS.  Deeds,  226, 14}.  The  overllow  from  this 
woulil  pass  towards  Ivy  Lane. 

Thoso  rivulets  are  thus  described  in  Jesse'a 
'London'  (1871),  iii.  317  :— 

"  These  Btieanis  were  S|ianned  by  as  many  ItriHges, 
tho  remains  of  one  of  wIulIi.  coiisialiiijf  o^  a  siui^Ie 
stone  arch  al>oul  eleven  feel  iu  lenelli,  were  dii- 
covered  in  1SU2,  during  the  crmslructiou  of  a  new 
Kewer  a  lililc  to  the  eastward  of  f?t.  Clement's 
Church,  'i'he  two  olheia  were  loverally  known  as 
Strand  Bridge  and  Ivy  Bridge  ;  Ihe  site  of  both 
bridges  being  jwinted  out  by  Strand  Lane  and  Ivy 
Bridge  Lane,  wliich  anciently  formed  the  channels 
throdfh  which  the  two  rivulets  (lowed  to  the 
Thames." 

The  earliest  account  we  poa.sess  of  these 
structures  is  thus  related  by  Stow  ;  — 

"Then  had  yee  in  the  high  street  a  faire  bridge, 
called  Strand  Bridge,  and  under  it  a  lane  or  way, 
downe    to    the    landing    place    on     the   banke    of 

.  Thames Ivie  Bridge  in  the  high  street,   which 

bad  a  way  under  it,  leading  downe  to  the  Thames, 
the  like  as  SQinetitne  had  the  Strand  bridge,  is  now 
Uken  downe."— 'London'  (\tm),  490-1. 

Mr.  Norman  describes  tho  former,  but  omits 
all  reference  to  the  latter. 

Ivy  Lane,  also  known  as  Ivy  Bridge  Lane 
and  Ivy  Bridge  (the  last  term  is  used  on  tlie 
Ordnance  map  of  1H94-C),  was  crossed  at  its 
Strand  entrance  by  a  narrow  bridge,  so  that 
foot  passengers  could  travel  along  (he  path- 
way drysbod  ;  while  at  the  riverside  the  lane 
terminated  iu  a  landing-place,  causew.iy,  or 
.small  pier.  A  .similar  arrangement  existed 
in  iho  case  of  the  other  Strand  laiiea 
traversed  by  streams.  Now  some  of  the 
standard  works  on  London  make  the  singular 
error  of  describing  these  bridges  as  identical 
with  tiie  landing-places,  thereby  placing 
them  at  the  wrong  end  of  their  respective 
lanes,  as  in  the  following  extract  from  Cun- 
uingham'js  '  Handljook  for  London '  <1819)  :— 

"Ivy  Bridge,  Ivy  Lane,  Slrand.  A  jtier  and 
bridge  at  the  bottom  of  Ivy-bridgelane."— Vol.  ii. 
p.  419. 

"Strand    Lano led,    in    the   olden    time,    to 

Htratid-bridge  (or  pier),  in  the  .--aiiio  way  that  lyy- 
lane,  in  the  Strand,  led  to  Ivy  bridge  (or  pier)." — 
Vol.  ii.  p.  787. 

Apparently  based  on  these  entries,  Thorn- 
bury,  in  'Old  and  New  London,'  records 
similar  errors  (iii.  77,  101);  although,  singu- 
larly enough,  he  allutles  to  "  'Strand  Bridge,' 
as  applied  by  Stow  and  others  to  a  bridge 
ill.  the  Strand  "  (iii.  77).  Cunningliiim  mny 
podsibly  have  l>w;n  misled  by  the  plan  of  the 
parish  of  St.  Martinin-tlie-rields  cotit«.\.«A& ^

in  Strype'a  edition  of  Stow  published  in 
1755,  wliicli  shows  the  whole  lenptli  of  Ivy 
L^ne,  but  is  lettered  only  at  its  river  end  as 
"Ivy  Bridge"  (ii.  650). 

When  these  bridges  were  removed  is  un- 
known ;  most  proijftbly  their  removal  took 
place  in  tlie  sixteenth  century,  some  lime 
after  the  Strand  was  paved. 

The  following  aro  the  points  of  interest 
connected  with  Ivy  Lane: — 

1.  It  was  one  of  the  landing-places  for 
goods  for  Covent  Garden  Market. 

2.  In  1584  Queen  Klizabetli  gave  Durham 
House  to  Sir  \V.  lialegh,  and  he  resided 
tliere  until  lie  was  deprived  of  it  by  Jame.s  I. 
in  16f>^.  Ivy  Lano  formed  the  original 
boundary  of  tlie  Durham  estate,  and  sepa- 
rated it  from  tlie  land  on  its  eastern  side,  on 
which  Sir  Koberfc  Cecil  (afterwards  Earl  of 
Salisbury)  erected  Salisbury  House. 

.'J.  As  recorded  by  Stow,  it  "  parteth  tlie 
Liberty  of  tim  Dutchie,  and  the  Citie  West- 
minster on  that  S<iuth  side  "  (491). 

4.  The  Duke  of  York  (afterwards  James  II.) 
was  taken  prisoner  in  ItJIH,  and  confined  in 
St.  Jamu-t's  Palace,  wticnce  he  escaped,  and, 
passing  down  Ivy  Lane,  took  a  boat  at  the 
stairs  there,  and  proceeded  to  Gravcaeiid, 
and  ultimately  to  Itotterdam. 

5.  AniDtigst  the  documetits  belonging  to 
St.  Martin  •  in  -  the  ■  Fields  is  one  lieadetl 
"Rate  towardes  the  repaires  of  Ivey  Bridge, 
1C51."  And  iji  the  churcliwardens'  accounts 
of  the  same  parish  for  the  same  year  "  there 
is  given  the  details  of  a  collection  from  'per- 
sons of  Honour  and  others  not  liveing  in 
this  parish  towards  tlie  repaire  of  Ivey 
Bridge,  that  they  might  goe  with  their 
horses  to  water"  (Catalogue,  ifcc.  pp.  3-4). 
The  ooTitiuuattun  of  its  use  for  this  purpose 
may  {although  a  century  later)  have  led 
Strypo  in  1755  to  coiuplajti  of  tfie  passage 
being  "  very  bad,  and  scarce  fit  for  Use,  by 
Beason  of  the  Unpassableness  of  the  Way  " 
(C50). 

0.  It  was  tims  noticed  by  Pcpys  in  1G69  : 
"  March  22.  To  several  cook's  snops»  where 
nothing  to  be  had  ;  and  at  last  to  the  corner 
shop,  going  down  Ivy  Lane,  by  my  Lord  of 
Salisbury's,  and  there  got  a  good  dinner," 

7.  During  the  first  decade  of  the  reign  of 
Queen  Victoria,  it  was  well  known  to,  and 
extensively  used  by,  the  public,  aa  the  ap- 
proach to  the  pier  from  which  the  "  half- 
Eenny  "  (not  the  "penny"  ones,  as  stated 
y  Cunningham)  boats  plied  to  and  from 
Lon<lon  Bridge.  A  man  in  a  red  coat  stooij 
at  the  Strand  entrance  to  the  lane  to  guide 
passengers.  The  service  of  bouts  consisted 
of  the  Ant,  the  Bee,  and  the  Cricket;  but 


after  the  disastrous  explosion  of  the  l&st 
named  in  August,  1847,  the  service  wiv$  dis- 
continued. T.  N.  Bbushfieu).  M.D.

As  Edward  Drydeu  married  Elizahoth,  Hister 
of  Sir  Thomas  Allen,  or  AUin,  and  daughter 
of  Edward  Allen,  or  Allin,  of  FincMey,  it  is 
not  at  all  improbable  that  Mary  Pickering 
also  married  into  this  family.  "  Her  nephew 
Sir  Henry  Pickering"  is  very  probably  the 
baronet  of  WImddon  (created  ICPl  ;  and  it 
may  be  ho  that  was  ktn'ghteil  1  Feb,  1657; 
see  Metcalf,  '  A  Book  of  Knights').  O.  E.  C., 
'Complete  Baronetage,'  states,  "Sir  Henry 
Pickering.  Ist  Itart.  of  Whaddon,  was  the 
only  son  of  the  Rev.  Henry  Pickering,  D.D., 
rector  of  Aldwincle";  and  if  this  be  the 
»nd  heir  of  Jolin  Pickering,  of  Titchmarsh),    case,  it  aflfords  suflicient    proof  that  Lucy 

married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of Haggard,    must  have  been  a  sister  to  the  Rev.  Henrv 

of  Born,  Cambs,  and  had  issue  John  Picker- 1  Pickering,  since  how  else   could  -iVv^  >a.v

born  at  Aldwinckle,  1G31,  and  married  Eliza- 
betii,  youngest  daughter  of  Thoma-s  Howard, 
Earl  Jf  Berksliire.   She  died  1  May,  1701. 

Maunder's  'Biographical  Treasury'  states 
(under  the  poet  Drvden)  that  in  1GJ7  he  was 
secretary  to  his  relation  Sir  Gilbert  Picker- 
ing, who  was  one  of  Cromwell's  Council  ;  that 
he  was  made  Poet- Laureate  in  1G67,  and  was 
buried  in  Westminster  Abliey,  1700. 

Elizabeth  Creed,  only  surviving  daughter 
of  Sir  Gilbert  Pickering,  first  laronet,  is 
respfjnsiblo  for  a  numl>er  of  excellent  epitaphs 
in  Titchmarsh  Church.  Amongst  these,  in 
1722,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  her  age,  she 
wrote  this : — 

"  Hero  lies  the  honoured  remains  of  Erasmus 
Dryden,  eeq  ,  and  Mrs.  Mary  PickerinK,  his  wife. 
He  wa«  the  third  son  of  Sir  Erasmus  Dryden,  an 
ancient  Bironct.  who  lived  with  (jreal  honour  in

In  searching  the  Visitations  of  North-

between  those  of  15C4  and  those  of  1GI8-1.». 
Wotton  remarks  on  this  gap  in  'The  English 
Baronetage,'  vol.  iv.  pp.  34G-7,  L<jndon, 
1741:- 

"Sir  Gilbert  Pickering,  of  Titchmarsh,  Knt.,

marsh!. X.U.  By  the  Inquisition  I  think  it  plain 
that  the  vacuum  between  the  two  visitations  is 
rightly  filled  up,  and  the  a^e  of  Sir  John,  successor 
to  .Sir  (Gilbert,  very  well  answers  ;  but  this  Sir 
Gilbert's  Lady  or  younger  children  cannot  by  it  be 
found."

RODERT   CREENE'S   PROSE   WORKS. 
(.See  10"'  S.  iv.  1,  81,  1(W,  224,  483.) 
Dyce's  list  of  Greene's  prose  works— and 
of  t!>e  tracts  a.scribed  to  iiim— does  not  con- 
tain an  important  tract  already  mentioned, 
"The  Defence  of  Conny-catching.  or  A  Con- 
'futalion  of   those    two   injurious    Pamphlets 
published  by  H.  O.  against  the  praetiti<ji)crs 
•of     many     Nimble  -  witted     and     mysticall 
Sciences.       Hy     Cuthbert    Conny  -  catcher, 
1502."     This    witty    tract    is    included    in 
Oreene's  works  in  Hazlitt's  'General  Index' ; 
and  quotations  from  it  in  the  *  New  ICnstlish 
Dictionary  '  are  ascribed   to  Greene.     Those 
who  maintain  it  is  by  Greene,  upon  whom  it 
is  a  venomous  attack,  do  so  upon  the  ground. 
I    believe,   that  it   was   a  catchponnj',    and 
written  to  advertise  an<l  prolong  the  series. 
<3ro3art,  happily,  reprints   it,    but    I    quite 
agree  with  him  that  it  is  not  by  Greene.    See 
liis   noto  in  vol.    xi.   p.   i<x      I   reject  it  as 
Greene's  even  more  confidently  upon  other 
groumi    than     lliat    there    ad<luced :    ui>on 
evidence  of  language  and  style.    And  since 
there  is  a  distinct  connexion  l^otween  this 
tract  and   Greene's   most  famous  piece,  the 
|<^uip  for  an  I'jistart  Courtier,'  I  believe  it 
is  worth  while  to   consider  the  question   a 
little  closely. 

At  the  very  outset  a  difKcuIty  confronts 
■OS.  Why  ttc'->  injurious  patophlots,  when  we 
have  the  three  parts  of  'Conny-catching,' 
jind  the  '  Disputation,'  apparently  making 
•four  of  about  ojuil  length  I  I  think  the 
^writer  lumps  the  first  three  in  one,  and  it  is 


some  confirmation  of  this  that  the  author 
of  the  ' Defence '  lays  stress  upon   Greene's 
mention    of     Whittington    College     in    his 
address   to  the   reader   preceding    Part  III. 
He  dwells  upon  this  in  his  own  addre.<»8  "Tci 
the  Pieader.'^    The  Third  Part,  the  'Disputa- 
tion,' and  the  'Defence.'  all   bear  the  date 
]T)i)2.    U  any  of  Greene's  undoubted   tract* 
on  conny  catching  succeeded  the  '  Defence,' 
we  should  expect  to  find  a  mention  of  tlie 
latter,  which  I  have  not  traced.     We  should 
still  expect  it  in  Greene's  *  Quip,'  but,  on  the 
contrar3',  as  I  am  about  to  show,  the  'Quirv' 
makes  free  use  of  the  '  Defence.'    This  migfjt 
be    taken    a^s    an    argument    in    favour  of 
Greene's  having  written  the  latter.     On  the 
whole,  I  think  it  was  written  by  s^imo  con- 
fe<lerate  or  friend,  jointly  perhaps,  with  the 
acrimonious    parts    placed    prominently    to 
confer  interest  and  reality  upon   the  attack. 
When   the  author  of  the  *  Defence '  proves 
"Maister   }{.    0."    to    be    a    conuv  -it.  I.^r 
himself,  by  his  having  sold   tlie  ■- 
*  (Jrlando  Furioso,'  to  the  Queen's  1  i  .v 

twenty  nobles,  and,  when  they  were  in  the 
country,  having  sold  it  for  as  much  niore  to 
the  Lord  Admiral's  men,  he  brings  an  accusa- 
tion  Greene  would  have  rebutte<l,  wer«  it 
jiossible.  No  doubt  every  one  know  it,  and 
it  was  useless  to  attempt  to  do  so.  Still, 
Greene  can  hardly  be  conceivetl  as  referring 
to  the  incident  in  such  terms,  or  in  any 
terms. 

Greene's  "  style  "  varies  so  widely  in  thene 
tracts  from  the  Euphuistical  Greene  that 
an  argument  upon  it  carries  little  weight. 
I  find,  however,  a  number  of  expressions  in 
the  'Defence'  which  are  nowJiere  used  by 
Greene.  There  is  also  a  deal  of  legal  jargon 
interspersed,  that  he  does  not  usually  -I  i  .

unused  by  Greene,  or  used  only  later  in  ins

The  above  list,  which  might  be  extended 
with  law  terma  and  cozening  words,  contains 


a  number  of  terms  which  are  not  knowt* 
earlier,  and  several  that  are  not  known  else- 
where.   None  of    them    occurs  in  Greene'* 
works  except  those  few  tlmt  are  tranafe^^ec^ 
from   this   tract  to  Greenes   'Quip  for  an 
Tpstart    Courtier.'    Without    the    negative 
evidence   that    none    of  the    "Greeneisms" 
appears  here,  I  think   it  amounts  to  proof 
that  the  tract  wa8   by  another  hand  ;  but 
that  Greene  made  use  of  it  in  his  '  Quip  '  i* 
obvious.     It  is    well    known  that  this  tract 
is  borrowed  by  Greene— in  idea,  in  structurii 
characteristics,  and  sometimes  in  language — 
from  'The  DeVmte  between  Pride  and  Lowli- 
ness' (lOGO).    But  the  latter  is  a  vory  tedious 
poem,  whereas  Greene's  prose  is  full  of  wit 
and  living  interest,  one  of  the  best  things  he- 
wrote.     As  was   his   way,  Greene  makes  no 
acknowledgment    in    hia  dedications   (there 
are  two)  of  lii.s  obligations.     Bui,  a;i  Collier 
says  in  hii  introduction  to  the  earlier  tract 
(Sliaks.  Soc,  M^i]),  "he  stole  the  whole  sub- 
stance of  it  anri  put  it  into  prose"    And  w& 
may  l>e  thankful  to  him   for  doing  so,  and 
remember  also  that  acknowledgments  of  thi.'* 
kind  in  Greene's  time,  and   in  later   times, 
were  Imrdly  dreamt  of.    Collier  goes  on  to 
say  tliat  tlie  beginning,  middle,  and  end  of 
the  'Debate'  and  of  CJreene'a  'Quip'  corre- 
spond very  closely  ;  and  he  calls  attention  to 
tlie  fact  that   Harvey   in    ins   attacks  upon 
Greene  has  not  made  abundant  u.se  of  lhi.s 
offence  against    him.      I  hnd   a    passage  in 
Harvey    which,   oddly   enough,  would  show 
that  he  did   not  know  of  the  'Debate,' and 
indicates  that  he  him.self  was  the  suggester 
of   the   '(^uip.'     It  is  in  his  reply  to  Lyly, 
written  in  ]W9  (Groaart's  '  Harvey,'  ii.  187)  ; 
"  Witt  might  devise  a  plea.surable  Dialogue 
betwixt  the  Leather  Pilch   and  the  Velvet 
coate  ;  and  hcl|)e  to  persuade  the  better  to 
deale  neighlx)ui  ly  with  the  other  ;  the  other 
to  content  himselfe  with  his  owno  caHing." 
In  Lyly's  tract  ('Pappe  with  an  Hatchet,' 
1088-9)  it  is  agreeable  to  see  what  excellent^ 
vigorous,  and  amusing  English    that  writer 
could  make  use  of  when  he  chose  to  lay  down 
his     mantle     of    Euphuism      that     fashion 
enforced  liira  to  adiiere   to.     It  is  the  most 
readable    of    the    Martinist    series,    outside 
Nashe.      As   a   final    word    on    Euphuism    I 
wouhl  refer  to  Furncss's  excellent  stuily  of  it 
in    his    introduction     to     '  Love's    Lalnjur'n

He  registered  a  complaint  agaiust  iucorrccb 
anci  incomplete  dfitcriptions  of  books.  It  is 
needless  to  say  lliat  there  are  some  excellent 
sale  catalug^ue:)  i^isued  by  certain  Englidli 
book-dealers ;  but  it  is,  in  uiy  opinion, 
equally  obvious  that  in  some  quarters  there 
is  room  for  improvement.  1  believe  that 
there  are  many  enterprising  dealers  who 
would  a<ld  largely  to  their  sales  by  a  logical 
arrangement  of  their  catalogues.  My  owrj 
preference  is  for  the  Dewey  decimal  system 
of  classification.  If  this  be  adopted,  let  the 
first  page  inside  of  cover  be  devoted  to  a 
combined  key  and  table  of  contents.  The 
catalogue  yuoper  will  follow,  arranged  in 
accordance  with  the  decimal  .system,  each 
subject  l)y  itself  in  alphabetic  order  by 
authors'  surnames.  If  the  list  conclude  with 
a  goo<J  author- index  in  one  alphabet,  so 
much  the  better.  This  need  add  very  little 
to  the  expense.  I  venture  to  think  tliat  the 
above  plan  (whicli  involves  nothing  compli- 
cated) wuuld  so  materially  increase  the  ac- 
cessibility, and  therefore  the  usefulness,  of 
the  catalogues,  that  the  clientele  of  dealers 
wlio  i«.sue  them  would  be  considerably  aug- 
mented. This  is  a  busy  world,  an<i  one  has 
not  the  time  to  wade  through  the  average 
author-catalogue,  if  one  liappeus  to  be  inter- 
ested in  certain  subjects.

Joseph  Nollekens's  Libiuuy.— J.  T.  Smith 
in  liis  •  Nollekens  and  his  Times'  (1805 
edition)  says : — 

"Mr.  Nollekens's  prinls,  drawings,  and  books  of 
iirinls,  were  hoKI  by  Mr.  Kvans,  in  1**11  Mall,  on 
I'll  u  ml  ay,  Dooeniber  4,  IHZl.  Tlieynrincipallv  con- 
uisle*!  of  nearly  the  entire  work*  of  Xiculaa 
Poussin  :  a  fine  collection  of  the  engravings  ftfler 
Sir  Joaliiia  Keyriol<i«>  jiiotures  ;  several  sketch- 
books tilled  by  Mr.  Nullekens  when  at  Rome;  an<l 
numerous  clrawinRi  also  by  him,  made  upon  the 
hacks  of  letters." 

This  date  is  incorrect :  the  sale  took  place  on 
Thursday,  18  December,  and  following  day. 
The  biographer  is  also  at  fault  in  describing 
the  lots.  A  copy  of  the  catalogue,  filled  in 
by  Mr.  Arch  of  Cornhill,  is  before  me,  but  I 
cannot  find  that  any  of  these  interesting 
drawings  and  engravings  were  offered.  Tiiere 
were  sketch  books  and  a  very  large  number 
of  original  drawings  by  Cipriani,  of  which 
Smith  securefl  lot  331,  "Thirty -four 
Academy  studies  in  red  and  black  chalk," 
for  2/.  IQs.  Lots  307-ld  included  drawings 
and  prints  by  Malton.  Sir  William  Chamber.s, 
iind  Cozens.  Lot  284  was  "Collection  of 
inscriptions    upon    monuments    and    under 


busts  executed  by  Josepli  Nollekens,  Esq. 
manuscript"  ;  but  nothing  else  of  hi-*  occurs 
and  the  name  of  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds  is  noj 
mentioned.  It  is  perhaps  worth  noting  thaf 
some  of  the  legatees  secured  parcels  of  print 
and  books. 

There  must  be  an  explanation  for  thea 
errors  in  tlie  biography,  and  it  is  possiblf 
Smith  had  in  view  some  of  the  "9todit 
fittings"  sold  by  Christie  on  Thur«(d«y, 
3  Julj',  1823,  at  Mortimer  Street,  and  on  the 
two  following  days  in  Pall  Mall  (p.  39r»).

Lo.vi;   SrEECHEs    .\y    I.nkuction.  —  MuchJ 
merriment  has  been  cause<l  by  the  discoverj 
that  in  the  Egyptian  '  Book  of  the  Dead'  an 
ancient  declared  he  had  "  not  inflictefl  lonj 
lectures  "on  his  hearers.  But  this  is  curiousl! 
matclied  by  a  plea  for  his  soul  uttered  bj 
Hugh    Grove  (Loyalist)    at    his    exocutio»| 
H:  May,  1ij05  (vol.  iii.,  Thurloe's  collections)^ 
"Gootl  people,  I  was  never  guilty  of  inu-:" 
rhetorick,  nor  ever  loved  long  speeches  iu  my 
life,  therefore  you   cannot  expect  eitlier  of 
them  at  my  (leath.     All   I  desire   is  your 
hearty  prayers  for  my  soul,"  Ac. 

In  view  of  the  Egyptian  discovery,  tiik 
seems  a  very  close  second  for  England.

WiLU.\M  Blake. —  In  S"*  S.   xi.  302  Atxt 
9"'  S.   i.  454   I  stated  that  the  engravini 
in  Salzmann's  'Gymnastics'   were  wnjngT 
attributed  to  this  artist  and  engraver. 

In  consequence  of  the  observations  aboi 
this  book  in  my  bibliography  '  Swimminf^J 
published  in  1W4  (p.  219),  Mil  TiiOMi 
Windsor  showed  (10'"  S.  ii.  383)  that  tli 
'Gymnastics'  was  wrongly  attriiiuted  Ijj 
the  translator  to  Salzmann,  and  that  the  rel 
author  of  the  original  German  book  was  Gul 
Muths.  ' 

I  have  just  come  across  another  book  i| 
which  tlie  pictures  are  wrongly  attributed 
Blake.  In  Bohu's  'Lowndes.'  part  v.  p.  13C 
the  illustrations  to  Lamb's  '  Tales  from  Shak^ 
speare,'  fourth  edition,  1B22,  are  said  to  tli 
by  William  Blake.  The  engravings  to  thi 
and  the  three  previous  editions,  according 
the  British  Museum  CataloKue,  are  by  \t 
Mulready,  afterwards  R  A.  The  style  secni 
to  show  that  they  are  not  by  Blake,  thougf 
there  is  every  probability  that  ho  engrnvt 
Mulready's  clrawings,  which  would  be  ve 
much  Blaked  in  the  process.

(I  think  my  author  calls  them  Ttketilm). 

Sir  Walter  Scott  (vol.  x.  p.  388),  in  a  foot- 
note, explains  tho  meaning  of  this  nickname 
for  the  Whigs,  and  quotes  several  instances 
of  its  use  from  contemporary  writens.  It 
was  probably  Sir  Robert  L'E-itrange  wlio 
gave  it  currency,  as  it  is  to  be  found  in 
No.  394  of  The  Ohsercator  (29  Aug,  1(;S.3), 
where  its  meaning  has  to  be  explained  to

Pedigree  Difficulties:  Mary  St.\pleton 
OR  Stoughton.— In  9"'  S.  ix.  245  Mr.  G.  F.  T. 
Sherwood  discourses  wpon  "how  to  deal 
with  difficult  questions  of  pedigree."  Having 
recently  encountered  a  puz/ling  situation 
niyielf,  I  venture  to  seek  permission  to 
place  it  on  record,  in  the  hope  of  promoting 
a  solution.  My  great  -  great  -  grandfather, 
James  Stapleton,  then  living  at  llounslow, 
was  married  at  Epsom  Cliurch,  to  an  Epsom 
woman,  by  licence,  on  27  September,  17(53. 
His  «ou,  my  great  grandfather,  in  184.'),  Iiad 
occa-sion  to  procure  a  certificate  of  the  Epsom 
parish  rvSgister  entry.  According  to  this 
certificate,  the  womati's  name  occurs  first  as 
Mary  Stoughton,  and  secondly  (where  she 
niake-i  her  fuark  by  way  of  signature)  as 
Mary  Souglilon,  or  one  letter  shorter.  This 
variation  would  be  insignificant,  only  it 
happens  tlmt  my  great-grandfather  (wljo 
surely  ought  to  have  known  the  maiden  name 
of  his  own  mother)  appears  to  have  quotefl  it 
as  Southgate  when  applying  by  letter  for  the 
certificate,  as  the  then  vicar  oi  Epsom  (1845) 
wrote  :  — 

"In  tir  :  manner  in  which  the  rogi^lers 

wer*  f"i  ■  ',  1  hiive  Utile  lioiibi  (lie  name 

WM  enlc:  -  .  :  .  -  julhgdlo,  e«|iec)ally  as  the  imrty

There  can.  however,  be  tittle  doub*  bs  to  the 
|iarlie<  being  lixjue  whu»e  cerliljcatc  you  reijuire." 

An  obvious  way  of  finally  settling  the 
question  uf  the  correct  form  of  the  surname 
WM  to  obtain  a  copy  of  the  marriage  licence, 
dated  one  day  previous    to    the    marriage. 


But,  strange  to  say,  this  action  resulted  in  a 
worse  muddle  than  ever,  for  there  it  occurs 
as  Mary  Fletcher.  Finally,  in  tho  reasonable 
hope  that  the  woman  was  a  native  of  Eijsom, 
the  parish  register  for  the  year  of  her  birth 
(1740),  and  thereabouts,  was  searched  for  a 
baptismal  record  under  any  of  tho  above 
names,  but  without  result. 

I  may  add  that  the  eldest  son  nf  the  con- 
tracting parties,  Edward  Stap)leton,  a  West 
India  merchant  (and  a  retired  ensign  of  the 
11th  W.I  Regiment),  owned  real  estate  at 
Dorking  in  1817,  wlien  he  died  abroad.  As 
he  belojiged  to  a  Xottinghamshire  family,  it 
is  just  possible  this  was  inherited  through 
his  mother.  Alfred  Supleton.

Canadian  College  of  Ar.ms  —Will  those 
of  your  readers  possessing  pedigrees,  arm?,

"attainted"  for  their  possessors'  loyalty  to 
the  legitimate  Constitution  and  Crown  of 
Scotland,  Britain,  and  Ireland  under  the 
Stuart  dynasty,  send  sucli  informatiun  to  me 
here?  Our  College  of  Arms  has  heraldic 
right  in  Canada.  All  the  aijovo  titles  were 
regarded  as  legitimate  by  the  kings  of  France 
— 80  proclaimed  in  Canada  until  17G3,  wJien 
Canada  was  ceded  to  Great  Britain.  By  tlie 
Treaty  of  Cession  tho  British  Crown  agreed 
that  rights  and  priviJegos  of  individuals  of 
whatever  sort  should  continue  a.s  under  the 
former  ri^'jiine.  By  this  agreement  the  above 
titles,  as  they  were  recognized  Ijy  France, 
are  legitimate  in  Canada. 

Also,  as  heraldic  colleges  in  France  ha.e 
no  legal  recognition  there  under  the  French 
Republic,  the  possessors  of  P'reneh  tille-s 
there,  <lating  before  1763,  have  tlie  right  of 
legal  registration  in  Canada,  as  all  French 
titles  of  noUeise  had  recognition  in  Canada 
before  Canada  was  ceded  to  Great  Britain, 
wliicli  right  of  recognition  holds  in  the  treaty 
of  1703  as  well.

it  has  been  taken  from  The  London  f.'nivet- 
nitu  Mii'jiizine  of  1829.  It  is  a  very  remark- 
able  article,  since  it  shows  a  complete  appre- 
ciation of  the  genius  of  Blake,  both  as  painter 
and  poet— a  very  uncommon  thing  at  that 
period.  The  author  expresses  his  opinion 
that  Coleridge,  Blake,  and  Flaxman  had  laid 
a  foundation  for  a  purer  philosophy  than 
then  existed  ;  and  in  a  note  he  says  : — 

*'  niake  and  Colcrid/e,  wIjpii  in  cotnianv,  Beenied 
like  I'onceuial  l>eiii|{i  uf  atioLlii.'r  >)|>here,  bi'eathinii; 
for  a  while  on  our  earth  ;  whii'li  ni.-xy  rosily  bo  per- 
ceived from  the  aimilarity  of  thought  pervading 
their  works." 

Does  this  mean  that  Blake  and  Coleridge 


were  ever  personally  acquainted  1  Itseem* 
to  bear  that  interpretation  ;  but  pos.sibly  it 
only  means  that  when  they  were  in  the  com- 
pany of  other  fwople  tliey  seemed  like  beings 
of  anotlier  .sphere.  Is  there  any  record  of 
any  meeting  between  the  two  poets  1  I  do 
not  tliink  there  is.  .Vmong  Coleridge's  letters 
Ihere  is  one,  dated  1M18.  addressed  to  his 
friend  Mr.  Tulk,  who  had  .sent  him  a  copy  of 
Blake's  poem<»,  in  whicii  high  admiration  is 
expressed  for  many  of  the  designs  and  poems 
of  the  poet  artist.  Perhaps  there  may  be 
otlier  referencea  to  Blalce  in  Coleridge's 
writings  ;  but  I  am  not  aware  of  them.

PIDGIN  OR   PIOEOX    ENGLISH, 
(10"'  S.  V.  46.) 

Sir  John  Franci.h  Davis  does  not  use  Uie 
word  "pidgin"  in  his  work  on  'China* 
(new  edition,  revised  and  enlarged,  2  vols  , 
John  Murray,  1857),  but  he  has  the  following 
sentence  in  vol.  ii.  p.  110  : — 

"The  Btructure  of  Chinese  phroMt  t«  often  di«- 
coverahle  in  (he  broken  Kii;<li6h  of  CuitAD,  whicli 
is  a  Chines  hHqiii  in  Emjhfh  I'-ovli," 

Further  on  (p.  140)  he  says  :  — 

"The  Chinese  wnre  surprised  to  fiml  whit,  in 
the  jargon  of  Canton,  is  called  a  ■  d

very  shape,  loo,  winch  most  nearij  ie><.'iiiiMj--  mcir 
own  performances,  a  mixture  of  song  an«l  recit*- 
tive." 

This  refers  to  a  party  of  Italian  opern- 
singery  who  erected  a  temporary  theatre  at 
Macao,  and  there  "  perrornje<l  most  of 
Ros-sini's  operas  with  success.'  Again,  ou 
p.  384  we  read  : — 

"  Another  functionary  remains  to  be  mentione<i 
under  the  name  of  liu'jnhf.  who  seemed  to  be  M 
called  rather  on  account  of  the  abaeuce,  than  the 
presence,  nf  tlioRe  ncconiplishmeota  which  are 
usually  implied  by  the  term;  for  these  (i«r*on«

Canton  wa-s  therefore  the  place  where  this 
strange  lingo  came  into  being,  wlu».}i  after- 
wards received  the  name  of  "pidgin  Eag- 
lish."  The  earliest  mention  of  it  with  widen 
1  am  acquainted  is  to  be  found  in  the  late 
Dean  Farrar's  'Chapters  on  Language,' 
Longmans,  IBfiS,  where  on  p.  12C  iu  a  fool- 
note  I  read  : — 

"  And  here  ia  a  apeoimen  of  the  Chinemo  *  pif(«<Mi'

With  one  more  quotation  I  end  : — 

"The  word  pidgin,  if  derived,  as  is  generally

the  dilfieully  with  which  Chinese  master  our  pro-

assumes.  As  llie  t«rm  trallah  in  Uincfu,  and  that

"Brown  Bess"  as  applibd  to  a  Musket 
(10"' S.  V.  21).— This  note  in  interesting,  but 
it  is  an  error  to  suppose  that  the  word  /ytis 
siRnifiea  the  barrel,  for  it  expresses  the  gun 
itself.  JSiit  is  the  early  Low  Countries'  equi- 
valent for  a  gun,  quite  irrespective  of  .size, 
as  Biic/ise  tuean.s  the  same  thing  in  mediiuval 
German. 

A  very  early  mention  of  the  word  bus,  buss. 
or  (lUMrn  occurs  in  a  Low  Countries'  record 
of  anno  1313,  concerning  which  1  give  a  copj' 
of  a  ijasnago  in  a  treatise  of  my  own,  *  Early 
Ordnance  in  Europe,'  publisiied  in  Airhieo- 
logia  .Klinna,  1903;  — 

"It  i.s  rei>orted  that  the  city  of  Ghent  wa«  in 
posMuion  ot  ordnnncc  a»no  l.'{13,  a  date  somewhat 
anterior  to  the  legendary  discovery  of  gunpowder

but  without  suoeess.  It  is  iucredilde,  however, 
that  a  at&tenieui  so  precise  as  this,  made  by  a. 
writer  of  repute,  could  be  a  puro  iaventiou,  and 
really  there  ia  no  reason  for  doubting  his  good

pressed nky  belief  that  we  could  produue  facsimiles

of  testing  this,  I  had  a  small  deed  of  the  lime  of

BvRo.v  AND  Greek  Orammah  (10"'  S.  iii. 
188). — There  seems  to  l>e  no  evidence  whatever 
that  Byron  wrote  a  Greek  grammar,  but  the 
question  may  have  arisen  through  confu.sion 
with  Byron's  studies  in  another  language, 
the  Armenian.  The  following  quotations  are 
from  vol.  iv.  of  Mr.  R.  Iv  Prothero's  edition 
of  Byron's  letters.  Writing  from  Venice  to 
Thomas  Moore,  5  Dec,  1816,  Byron  says: 
"By  way  of  divertiaement,  1  am  studying 
daily,  at  an  Armenian  monastery,  the  Arme- 
nian language."  «fec.  (p.  9).  There  are  similar 
statements  in  letters  to  John  Murray,  4  Dec, 
(p.  18),  and  the  Hon.  Augusta  Leigh,  19  Dec. 
(p.  2't).     On  27  Dec.  he  writes  to  ilurray  :  — 

"I  an)  K^ing  on  with  my  .A.rriieuiaii  ntuilies  in  a 
morning,  and  assisting  and  Btimidatin^  in  the  Eng- 
lish portion  of  an  Kuglish  mid  Arnioman  grainnmr, 
now  publiahiriK  at  tlie  convent  of  St.  Lazarus.' — 
P.  »i. 

To  John  Murray,  2  Jan.,  1817,  he  send» 
some  sheets  of  the  grammar,  "of  winch  I 
]iromoted,  and  indeed  induced  the  publica- 
tion "  (p.  42).  He  asks  if  Arraeniaei  types  are 
obtainable  in  England,  and  requests  Murray 
to  take  40  or  50  copies.  The  publisher 
actually  took  50  (p.  41n).  The  publication  of 
the  work  is  referred  to  in  two  subsequent 
letters  to  Murray  :  — 

.3  Murcli,  1SI7. — "The  Armenian  Grammar  is 
tiiibhshod  ;  hut  my  Armenian  iitiidieBare  Runpended

In  an  appendix  to  llie  same  volume 
<pp.  429-36)  Mr.  Protiiero  prints  the  trans- 
lations which  Hyron  ma<Je  from  the  Armenian 
witli  Auclier's  help,  Jan. -Feb.,  1817,  viz.: 
1.  The  EpiillM  of  iheCorinthiatis  to  St.  Paul ; 
S.  Epistlo  of  Paul  to  the  Corinthians;  3.  'The 
Plea-sure  Houses  of  the  Summer  of  Byzan-

At  pp.  44-5  will  be  found  a  fragment 
apparently  int^riHed  as  preface  to  the 
Armenian  Krafunuir,  The  remaining  refer- 
ences to  tlio  saliject  in  the  letters  show  that 
a  iiecuniary  dispute  arose  between  the 
collaboratorn,  while  Byron's  estimate  of  his 
own  bhare  in  the  worlc  >:rew  more  generous 
with  tlie  lapse  of  time.  On  28  March,  182G, 
Byron  wishes  to  know  from  Murray  what 
(became  of  the  two  Epistle.s  from  St.  Paul 
tran.slated  from  the  Armenian  (p.  42o).  From 
the  'Detached  Tiioughts'  (1821)  is  quoted 
(p.  lOn.),  "The  padre  Pasquale  Aucher  (for 
whom,  by  the  way,  Icompile<l  the  major  part 
of  two  Armenian  and  English  grammars)." 
By  27  Feb  ,  182.3,  in  a  letter  from  Genoa  to 
Richard  Belgravo  Hoppner,  Aucher  has 
l)ecome  "the  rogue  of  an  Armenian  "  ;  and 
'•  we  mu.st  tiike  what  we  can  get"  is  the  only 
solution  of  the  di.spute.

Cecil  Family  (10'"  S.  v.  C),— Tlie  grafting 
of  tlie  Cecils  of  Stamford  on  the  obscure 
Welsh  stock  may  liave  been  a  suggestion  of 
Sir  David  Piiilinp  himself,  or  owing  to  the 
way  he  spelt  in  iiis  will.  date<i  150f!,  the  .sur 
nam©  of  his  executor  Dtivil  Cecill.  But  that 
ti.e  family  ever  wrote  their  name  otherwise 
than  "Cecil  '  or  "Cecill"  has  yet  to  be 
proved,  and  it  is  not  likely,  because  two 
vears  later  wo  find  David's  father  styling 
himself  Philip  "Cecil  '  in  his  will.  There  is 
apparently  no  evidence  earlier  than  this 
forLhcomiuR  at  present  without  considerable 
research.  It  is  known  that  David  Cecill, 
"Lord  Burghley's  grandfather,"  married 
twjce  (6"'  S.  vii.  385).  He  appears,  however, 
to  have  had  another  wife,  if  the  statement 
in  ColL  I'np  ft  fien  ,  vii,  67,  may  Ije  trusted 
that  he  married  Katharine,  widow  of  Nicholas 
Dene,of  Mnrrowby  co.  Lincoln,  and  daughter 
of  Wiilter  Peilwardine,  Esq  ,  but  by  hor  had 
"no  ciiililreii."  That  is  most  likely,  because 
she  must  have  l>een  old  enough  *to  be  her 
second  husband's  grandmother.  Hor  father 
died  in  U2U,  ati.l  was  related  to  several  Ea.st 
Hiding  families.  Unless  there  is  some  mis- 
take, this  match  might  more  reasonably  be 
assiKne<i  U)  an  earlier  David,  perhaps  brother 
or  father  of  Philip  Cecil.

At  Llangedwyn  Hall,   near  Oswestry,  tiie 
principal  bedrooms  have  an  antechamber,  on 
the  landing  or  staircase  side,  modernly  known 
as   a  dressing-rooio,  atid    the   late  dowager 
Lady    Watkin-Williams    Wynne,    upon    hor 
attention  being  drawn  to  this  apparently  in- 
convenient arrangement,  informed   rae  that 
they  were  "liair-powdoring  chambers."     By 
this  means  the  privacy  of  the  bedroom  could 
be  raaintaine<l,  and    the  dressers  complete 
their  work.     Massinger  says  :  — 
Tlie  reverend  liood  cMt  oJT,  ytmr  Iwrroweil  hair, 
Powdered  and  curled,  was,  by  yoiif  dre«ser'«  art. 
Formed  like  a  coronet,  hanged  with  diiunonda 
And  richest  orient  jHjarU. 

The  particular  closet  I  have  in  mind  is  tlvQ 
one  adjoining  Liie  bedroom  used  by  the  Young 
Pretender,  Prince  Charles  Edward  Stuart, 
during  the  1745  rebellion,  which  is  still  pre- 
served in  its  original  slate.  From  this  noigh- 
bourhood  tlio  Prince  marched  on  to,  and 
encamped  at,  Derby,  and  was  lo<]ge<l  at  a 
house  at  the  bottom  of  Full  Street.  Is  tins

name  the  charter  of  Edward  the  Confessor 
alluded  to  by  Lysons  in  which  Chelsea  is  spelt 
"Cealchyllo"  ;  but  it  thus  occurs,  as  I  have 
ascertained,  in  Cart.  Cott.  vii.  6  ;  aiid  the

duty  by  indicniing  its  scope  and  characteristics, 
without  atlem|iliiig  to  challenge  ativ  of  the  author's 
particular  cunclusiniia.  Few,  indeed,  would  be 
cajmble  of  doing  so,  fur  Mr.  (Jhad  wick  has  obviouaLy 
niaile  ii  special  study  of  the  charters  and  legal

found research  can  supply.  Himself  a  sevemiy 
scientific  student  of  Saxou  institutions,  lie  writes 
for  the  serious  historical  student,  and  not  for  the 
mere  general  reader,  to  whom  he  hardly  ever  con- 
descends; but  the  repertory  of  facts  which  he  has

pensulion  to  which  ditfurent  elapses  of  the  oonumi- 
uily  were  liable  (or  breaoli  of  their  ?hiiii'/  or  surety- 
ship.  In  Wessex  tliisKrAdiiated  system  at  inno^  was 
fixed  at  l;,2tJ<l,  I50O,  or  200  "shillings,''  according  as 
one  was  a  landowner,  a  laudlcsa  gentleman,  or  a 
CfOrl.  But  aa  a  "'  shilling  "  in  one  region  bore  «|uite 
a  different  value  from  the  same  dcnnmination  else- 
where, this  lends  to  a  long  and  careful  investigation 
of  the  monetary  system  <>f  the  early  Saxons,  which 
i«  sutHeiently  intricate  in  eonsegiienco  of  the  am- 
biguity of  the  terniiuology.  The  author  conjectures 
that  the  ^killing  must  originolly  have  denoted  au 
ounce  of  silver:  but  the  evidence  is  far  from  con- 
clusive. 'Ihe  same  laxnesa  of  use  confuses  the 
meaning  of  the  word  earl,  which  is  variously 
jatini/.ed  in  the  early  charters  as  dux,  inlm'-lir, 
roiU'i,  and  mUm.  Frum  having  been  at  onetime 
ap(ilicable  to  uny  noble,  it  seems  to  have  actjuired 
it«  srieciKc  meaning  as  a  title  froni  a  conflation  with 
the  Scandinavian  iarl.  The  origin  of  some  uf  our 
modern  shires,  Mr.  tjhwiwick  oonjectures,  may  be 
traced  to  divisions  of  a  kingdom  made  between 
members  of  the  king's  family,  us  sometimes 
haptiened. 

VVorthy.  too,  of  notice  is  the  account  given  of 
the  word  haf/niMl'l,  generally  used  in  the  sense  of  a 
bachelor,  wIiilIi  has  been  a  pu/.7.le  to  etymologists. 
Mr.  Chadwick,  differing  from  Kluge,  holds  the 
original  meauitig  to  have  been  "  the  occupant  of  a 
ha^fa,"  i.t.,  of  a  town  dwelling  att^ivhed  to  a 
country  manor,  this  haga  being  otton  appropriated 


to  soldiers.    Thus  the  hoffiiMht/il  came  to  be  tised 
for  any  young  warrior  (p  341).     W'v  have  lo  thatdp 
the  writer  for  a  learned  and  infurming  book.

FONSECA'S  'DEVOUT  CO.NTEMl'LATIONS,' 
162!}. 

The  engraved  emblematical  title-page  of 
this  work  i«  au  excellent  example  of  FhoiMas 
Ceciir*)  liaadiwork,  in  llie  centre  of  which  we 
have : — 

"Devovt  ContenipUtiona  Expresaed  In  two  and 
Fortie  Sernion»  vpon  all  y«  Qu*nrage«iinall  GobjkrIIs 
Writleu  in  SiMinisli  by  Fr.  C'h.  deFonneca  Eiiijljahed 
by  I.  M.  of  Mai^dalen  Colledge  in  Oxford.  Loodou 
Printed  by  Adam  lalip  Anno  l>OTiiini  1029." 

The  work  is  printed  in  small  folio  of  G48 
paues,  excluding  the  table  at  the  end,  the 
tillepat(0,  and  two  preliminary  leavea.  It  is 
dedicated 

"To  Iho  Two  Noble  KnighU,  Sir  John  Straiig- 
vviiyM,  and  Sir  Lewis  Dive  ;  and  Their  Vertvovs 
lA(fi«(i,  Ihe  Lady  Grace  SlranRwayc*,  and  L»<Jy 
Kuward  Dive.  lu  Ack.iinn'Ie<ii:inent  of  bin  own  triio 
jAiiientid  RcsjieLt,  Don  Diego  Pvede-Ser  Dedicatelli 
tllo»c  hi*  Indeavovrs." 

FoIlowinK  thii  dedication  there  Xft  an  address 
•  To  the  Header,'  the  only  notable  remark  in 
it  being  an  undertaking  by  the  traiiiilator 
that  if  the  present  venture  receives  suHicieiit 
encouragement,  he  *'witl  hereafter  furniKh 
Chee  with  the  Labors  of  the  same  Author 


vpon  all  the  Parables."  The  latter  work  has 
never  appeared  in  an  English  dress,  so  far 
as  I  know  ;  and  we  may  thus  reasonably 
conclude  that  the  expected  encouragement 
from  the  ][)ublication  of  these  *  Devout 
Conteniplationa  '  was  not  realized.  Sir  John 
Strangwaye.s  was  the  father-in-law  of  Sir 
Lewis  Dive  or  Dy ve,  who  married  Sir  John's 
daughter  Howarda  in  I(j24.  She  wa.s  tlie 
widow  of  one  Edward  Rogers,  of  Bryan.ston. 
The  '  D.N  B.'  gives  a  very  compretiensive 
account  of  the  lea<iin^  events  in  the  life  of 
Sir  Lewis;  and  consulliiig  Howell'.i  'Letters' 
in  the  edition  of  1726, 1  find  several  references 
to  him.  There  is  one  letter  in  whicli  Dyve 
is  staled  to  have  attended  Prince  Charles 
when  he  went  to  Madrid  in  connexion  with 
wliat  is  known  as  the  business  of  the  Spanish 
marriage.  The  arrival  of  Charles  and  liia 
companion  Buckingham  in  that  city  was 
homelhinp  of  a  niysterj' ;  the  former  passing 
himself  off  as  Mr.  John  Smith,  and  the  latter 
as  .Mr.  Thomas  Smith.  By  anfl  by,  however, 
the  real  character  and  mission  of  the 
travellers  camo  to  bo  known,  and  the  little 
incident  in  which  Dyve  placed  a  part  I  shall 
now  quote  in  Howell'a  words  (ofl.  1726, 
p.  13.3):- 

"And  now  it  wn*  |>ul)licltly  known  among  the 
vulgar,  thttt  it  was  the  Prince  of  Wales  who  was 
come  ;  and  iho  confluence  <jf  People  Ijeforo  my  Lord 
of  IJrifttol's  Houae  was  so  great  and  greedy  to  see 
the  Priiiee,  that  to  clear  Iho  way.  Sir  Lewis  Div«a 
went  out  and  took  coach,  and  all  tln»  croud  of 
People  went  after  him  :  so  ihe  Prince  liiniielt  a 
little  after  took  coach,  wherin  there  wore  Ibe  Earl 
of  Bristol,  Sir  Walter  Ash  ton,  and  Count  (ion- 
dutuar  ;  and  so  went  to  the  Prado,  a  jilace  hard  by 
of  purpose  to  take  the  Air,  where  they  staid  till 
the  King  paas'd  by." 

This  letter  is  dated  "Madrid,  27  Mar,,  1623," 
and  is  addressed  to  "Sir  Tho.  Savage.  Kt 
and  Bar."  ^^ 

In  a  letter  without  date,  written  by 
Howell  "To  Sir  L.  D.  in  Paris,"  there  is  aa 
interesting  reference  to  his  forthcoming 
'  History  of  Naples '  (p,  509)  :— 

"  I  shall  fihortly  by  T. B.  send  you  a  new  'History 
of  Naide«.'  which  also  did  coat  mo  a  great  deal  of 
oil  ana  labour." 

This  '  History  of  Naples'  appeared  in  165-1, 
and  was  dedicated  by  Howell  "  To  the  Uight 
Honourable  and  High-born  Peer  William 
Lord  Marquess  of  Hartford,  Ac." 

Of  the  author  of  the  present  work, 
Christopher  do  Eonseca,  I  gather  from  the 
meagre  account  given  in  Moreri's  'Grand 
Dictionnaire  Historique'  (Amsterdam,  1740, 
vol.  iv.)  that  he  was  a  native  of  Toledo,  in 
Spain.  Choosing  a  religious  life,  he  entered 
the  Order  of  the  Augustines  in  ITjCG,  as  I, 
take  it,  aad  afterwards  came  to  ho.vt!k  "OciRk

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.      [u>^8.v.fi«.io.i908. 


repatatioD  of  being  one  of  the  ablest 
preacbeni  of  hia  time.  He  died  in  IfilS. 
nmidea  the  'work  now  under  consideration, 
Moreri  mentions  that  Fonseca  wrote  a  '  Life 
of  Christ'  and  a  treatise  on  'The  Love  of 
God/  and  BUggeet«  that  he  wrote  others 
witich  are  not  specified.  As  stated  above, 
he  also  prodacen  a  work  on  '  The  Parables.' 
The  treatise  on  *  The  Love  of  Gotl '  was 
translated  intoEoglish  by  Sir  George  Strode, 
and  published  in  16'2.  It  may  be  notefl  that 
Jolin  Spencer,  in  his  excellent  collection  of 
*  Tilings  New  and  Old.'  1658,  frequently  quotes 
from  these  '  Devout  Contemplations.' 

James  Mabbe,  the  translator,  is  now  gene- 
rally accepted  as  having  been  the  author  of 
the  comntentiatory  lines  in  the  Shakespeare 
Folio,  1G23,  8ub8cribe<l  "L  M."  He  was  born 
in  1572,  and  matriculated  at  Magdalen 
College,  Oxford,  taking  his  M.A.  degree  on 
17  October,  1598.  He  accompanied  Sir  John 
Dighy  when  ho  went  as  ambassador  to 
Muirid  in  1611,  and  on  his  return  in  1613 
was  made  one  of  the  lay  prebendaries  of 
Wells.  It  will  have  been  noticed,  in  the 
dedication  quoted  above,  that  he  subscribes 
himself  "  Don  Diego  Pvede  Ser."  This  was 
a  pseudonym  for  "James  May-be";  and  in 
his  translation  of  Cervantea's  '  Exemplarie 
Novells,'  1640,  he  aubscriljcs  himself  in  the 
same  way.  I  may  further  state  that 
Mabbe  was  also  tlie  translator  of  *  The 
llogue  ;  or,  the  Life  of  Guzman  de  "Alfarache,' 
1622.     He  died  about  1642. 

It  would  lie  out  of  place  to  say  anything 
here  reganJtrig  the  author's  religious  opinions 
and  beliefs.  1  may,  however,  remark  that  the 
discouracs  are   all    eminently  practical,  and 

f;ive  the  impression  that  the  preacher  must 
iBve  been  a  roan  of  a  soniewliat  austere 
temperament.  One  of  liis  epigrammatic 
sayings  is  —  and  if  this  were  the  place  a 
goiKily  number  might  be  quoted— "Salt  in  a 
Preacher  is  more  necessary  than  Sugar,"  and 
of  the  former  commodity  lie  seems  to  liave 
had  more  than  enough  in  his  mental  consti- 
tution. I/et  me  also  «ay  that,  saving  for  a 
chance*  leferenco  liere  and  there,  we  might 
take  Fonsoca  tu  have  been  one  of  those  de- 
vout <«pirits  who  belonged  to  that  great  coni- 
iQunioii  of  wliioh  John  Donne,  George  Her- 
bert, fttid  Uiclmnl  Hooker  were  memhers. 

In  the  followvMK  passage  we  have  a  refer- 
once  to  the  (Ino  oltl  come<ly  entitle*!  'Jack 
Drums  Entcrlainmpiit'  (not  "Tom"  as  in 
the  toxt),  first  published  in  1601.  The  text 
of  1610  will  bn  found  reprinted  in  the  excel- 
lent collection  formed  by  the  Into  Mr.  Uichard 
StiniMon,  and  known  as  'The  School  of 
ShakeMpearo'  (vol.  ii.  p.  12i);—

Here  13  one  of  those  tottchoci  wliicli  make 
the  whole  world  kin  (p.  39)  :—

in  his  hngtsrt  betweeoe,  to  atretch  it  wider  and 
make  it  more  euie. 

A  disciple  of  Walton  will  appreciate  this 
diustration  (p.  lOy) :—  "^ 

'"Theirs  are  like  fishing  rodi;  which  when  the 
Bah  bite  uot,  continue  Birait  k  riu»i»,  but  if  thev

exegesis,  but  our  author  does  no*  ^  ..-;•■.■.  to

H.>{.S.  Favourite,  in   1798,  whicli    has   been 
well   told   by  tl>e  nuthor  of   '  Antigua  and 
(Ite  Aiitiguans,'  at  p.  275  of  the  first  Yolurae. 
The  work-in  two  volumes,  was  jmblished  io 
1844,  and  is  said  now  to  be  ver}'  scarce.

by  Lord  Caraelford,  and  jjersisLing  in  hi.« 
refusal,  was  instantly  shot  dea<l  by  hia 
lord.ship,  who,  it  being  u  time  of  war.  viewed 
the  refusal  a.san  act  of  mutiny  whicii  justi&ed 
death.  The  event  created  a  great  stir  at  the 
time,  and  public  feeling  itl  Antigua  ran  high 
in  favour  of  the  deceased  officer,  who  was 
quite  a  youth  and  a  member  of  a  good  family 
in  Nevis. 

But  as  Mrs.  Lanaghan  states,  this  circum- 
stance waij  not  the  only  one  t!mt  CAui«ed  the 
name  of  Lord  Camelford  to  be  well  known  in 
Antigua.  It  appearH  that  ho  had  required 
the  local  superintendent  of  the  dockyatd, 
Mr.  Kitto,  to  do  something  which  the  fatter 
declined  to  do,  as  he  con8i<]ere<l  it  "  bf^voud

had   him   strung   up  and    two   U'  nea.

ofiiciiila,  and  followed  by  all  the  riffraft'  of 
fit,  John's  and  its  environs,"  he  was  ordered 
to  find  bail  for  his  appearance  at  the  next 
■sessions,  iho  amount  of  his  recognizancea 
being  5,0(j()l.  This  substantial  sum  did  not, 
however  prevent  hini  from  again  breaking 
Ids  bond,  for  having  drawn  bills  to  the 
amount  of  his  recognizances,  so  as  to  protect 
his  sureties  from  loss  (to  his  credit  be  it  saiii), 
he  proceeded  on  board  liis  ship  and  quitted 
Antigua. 

In  one  of  the  old  record  books  kept  in  the 
Court  {{ou9e  at  St.  John's  occurs  an  entry  of 
the  indictment  presented  against  the  Right 
Hon.  Thomas  Pitt,  Lord  Camclford,  liaron 
of  Boc'oniioc  in  the  county  of  Cornwall,  and 
Jame<)  Brown,  in  the  old  Court  of  King's 
Bench  and  Grand  Sesiions  of  the  Peace  held 
for  the  island  of  Antigua  at  St.  John's  on 
25  Sept.,  1708.  for  conspiring  to  assault  and 
asMulting  George  *'  Kittoe,'  Esouirc.  A 
true  bill  having  been  found  by  the  grand 
jury,  and  neither  of  llie  accused  appearing 
when  "calletl  out,"  "their  proctor,"  Mr. 
Horsford,  Ntate<]  that  thej'  wers  absent  on 
the  king's  service,  and  the  indictment  was 
ordered  to  be  "continued  over"  to  tlie  next 
sessions.  A  later  entry  in  the  same  volume 
shows  that  the  case  was  proceeded  with  on 
25  March,  1T!>!>,  when,  as  neither  of  the  de- 
fendants appeareti  when  ''called  out,"  their 
recognizances  were,  on  the  motion  of  Mr. 
Burke,  H  M.'tf  Solicitor  General,  ordered  to 
be  «'«tlreated,  those  of  Lord  Camelford  being 
himsL'lf  in  3,000/.  and  two  sureties  in  l.r)fiO/. 
Tho-iP  for  Brown  were  200/.  and  100/.  re- 
spectively. 

Of  course  lyml  Camelford  was  tried  by 
court-martial  for  killing  Lieut.  Peterson. 
An  account  of  the  matter  appears  in  'The 
Annual  ICegister '  for  ITOR,  on  p.  10  of  the 
•Chronicle'  section.  A  letter  received  from 
Antigua  is  there  printed,  containing  par- 
ticulars very  similar  to  those  given  by  Mrs. 
Lanaghan  in  her  book,  but  adding  tliat 
during  the  dispute  a  dozen  of  Peterson's 
men  froto  the  Perdrix  had  come  uparme<J, 
and  that  fjord  Camelford  had  brought  up 
half  tiH  mariy  of  his  marines.  It  further 
stated  that  Lord  Camelford  gave  himself  up 
as  a  prisoner  U>  Capt.  Neatson,  of  the 
Beaver  slooo  of  war,  in  whic-li  ship  he  was 
carrietl  to  the  admirMl  in  P'ort  Iloyal  Bay, 
and  there  tried  and  acquitted.  Two  of 
IlBteraon's  brolheni  were  slated  to  be  in 
Antigua,  collecting  evidence  for  the  purjK)se 
of  Mf'finsi  what  could  he  <iotio  against  Lord 
^  in  a  civil  court  of  justice.    The 

c<  iiquest  on  Mr.  Peterson  brought  in 

a  veniict  of  *'  Lost  hi«  life  in  a  tnatiny." 


Fort  Royal  Bay  was  in  Martinique,  which 
had  then  been  captured  from  the  French,  and 
the  sentence  of  the  court  martial  full}'  Itore 
out  Lord  Camelford's  action  and  the  verdict 
of  the  coroner's  jury.     It  stated  that  it  was 

"unanimously  of  otiinion  that  the  very  extra- 
ordinary and  nianjfesb  disobedieDco  of  Lieut. 
Pelersoa,  both  l>eforc  at  the  instant  of  liia  death, 
to  ihe  lawful  ordera  of  Lord  Camelford,  the  senior 
otficcr  at  English  Harbour  at  thnt  lime,  and  the 
violent  measures  taken  by  Lieut.  Peterson  to  re- 
sist the  iMinie  by  arminji  the  Pordrix'e  ship  Roni- 
pany,  were  acts  of  muliny  iiisldy  iDJnrioua  to  the 
(iiaciplino  of  his  Majesty's  service.  The  Court  do 
ihcreforn  niianimnnsly  adjudge  that  the  Right 
Honourable  Lord  Camelford  be  honourably  ac- 
quitted, and  he  is  hereby  unanimously  and  honour- 
ably acquitted  accordinRly." 

What  Lord  Camelford's  ultimate  fate  was, 
is,  I  believe,  doubtful.  I  have  seen  it  stated 
somewhere  that  he  was  killed  in  a  duel  in 
Barbados;  but  I  have  been  recentlyinformed 
by  the  Hon.  A.  W.  Holmes  A'Court.  wlio  now 
fills  Mr.  Kitto's  place,  that  Lord  Camelford, 
who  had  gone  to  Switzerland,  was  followed 
thither  by  a  brotlier  of  Peterson's,  w|jo, 
having  picked  a  quarrel  with  him,  shot  him 
in  a  duel.  By  a  curious  coincidence  Mr. 
A'Court  tells  me  that  on  a  recent  visit  to 
Bermuda  lie  saw  in  a  local  paper  an  adver- 
tisement or  notice  asking  for  information 
relative  to  the  burial-place  of  Lord  Camel- 
ford. 

Mr.  A'Court,  who  has  recently  retired 
from  the  office  of  .SuperintoniJent  of  Public 
Works  in  Antigua,  should  feci  quite  at  home 
in  charge  of  this  fine  old  naval  yard,  for  h© 
is  the  great- nephew  of  that  Admiral  A'Courfc 
—younger  brother  of  the  first  Lord  Heytes- 
bury —  who  as  a  midshipman  of  H..M.S. 
Blanche  cruising  off  St.  Domingo  in  Novem- 
ber, 1803,  earned  great  di.sLincttou  for  him- 
self by  cutting  out  (assisted  only  by  seven 
.seamen  and  one  marine)  a  French  armed 
sctiooner  lying  becalmed,  having  on  board

'Country  whence  the  gold  of  which  tliey  were

it  ha<4  been  previously  noted  anywhere  that 
^old  coin9  of  ahnu^t  precisely  the  name  name 
were  in  circulation  in  Gascony  in  the  four- 
teenth century.  In  Madox'i^  '  Baronia

I  find  the  following  : —

I  suppose  these  French  guineas  derived 
their  name  from  Guienne,  of  which  duchy 
Bordeaux  wa-s  the  capital,  and  the  King  of 
England  sovereign  duko.  The  similarity  of 
the  names  of  those  two  gold  coins  (nnnted, 
one  in  England,  and  the  other  in  the  King 
of  England's  duchy  three  hundred  years 
previously)  is  curious,  and  seems  worth

'*  Marmor"  and  the  Sea  in  Latin  Poets. 
— Mr.  E.  S.  Dodgson  mentions  approvingly 
(10"^  S.  iv.  373)  a  suggention  that  "  the  reason 
wi)y  the  Romans  called  the  sea  marmor  was 
because  the  surface  of  the  sea  often  presents 
6.  streakiness  resembling  the  markings  of 
marble."  The  suggestion  is  interesting  and 
ingenious,  but  improbable.  The  root  mean- 
ing seems  to  be  "gleam,"  "shine'  ;  Greek 
fiap/Lapos,  napfiaipio,  to  shine.  Mtirtn-or,  then, 
is  the  white,  shining  stone.  The  bright, 
sparkling  appearance  is  the  property  of  the 
eea  which  would  be  most  prominent  to 
niediterrancan  peoples  like  the  Greeks  and 
Romans.  The  Latin  poets,  from  Ennius 
<lown,  no  doubt  deriveu  the  use  of  iiuirnior 
for  the  sea  from  the  Ilomeric  expression 
u\o  /xapfiapirjv  ('  II.,'  xiv.  273).  The  epithet  is 
also  used  by  classical  Greek  writers  of  bright 
metallic  objects,  stars,  and  eyes,  so  that 
there  can  be  no  question  that,  as  used  of  the 
eea,  it  must  be  taken  in  the  same  sense,  viz., 
"  sparkling,  gleaming."         Alex.  Leeper.

Dek.kkr'8  'Sweet  Conte.vt.'— In  1873  the 
works  of  Thomas  Dekker, "  now  first  collected 
with  illustrative  notes  and  a  memoir  of  the 
autlior,^"  were  published  by  John  Pearson, 
York  btreet,  (Jovent  Garden,  London.  The 
writer  of  the  memoir  discusses  the  anony- 
raous  play  'The  Comedie  of  Patient  Grissil,' 
which  appeared  in  1603,  and  is  traditionally 
-♦tributod  to  the  joint  authorship  of  Dekker, 


Haughton,  and  Chettle.  He  expresiies  the 
belief  that  his  author's  hand  is  discernible  in 
the  drama,  while  excluding  it  from  the  re- 
presentative works  on  the  ground  of  insuffi- 
cient  evitience.  He  is  disposed,  however,  to 
believe  that  the  lyric  '  Sweet  Content  *  and 
the  'Lullabio  Song'  were  both  Dekker'*,  and 
justifiably  quotes  them  on  that  assumption. 
Headers  of  the  late  Prof.  I'algrave's  '  Golden 
Treasury  '  have  the  former  dainty  and  melo- 
dious gem  presented  to  tiiem  under  the 
somewhat  arbitrary  title  'The  lla^ppy  Heart,' 
its  opening  lines  arranged  as  foUow^s  :  — 

Art  thou  poor,  yet  hast  thou  golden  slumbers? 

O  aweet  content '. 
Art  thou  rich,  yet  la  thy  mind  perplcx'd? 

(J  puniahment ! 
Dost  thou  Ungh  to  see  how  foola  are  ves'd 
'i'o  add  to  KoluoD  numbera,  tjolden  numbers! 
•  )  sweet  content !    0  aweet,  0  sweet  content ! 

If  one  may  judge  from  the  reprint  io 
Dekker's  'Dramatic  Works'  jnst  specified, 
the  text  thus  given  misrepresents  the 
original  and  mars  the  rhythm  by  contracting 
the  words  "  perplexed "  and  "  vexeil."  the 
value  of  the  final  syllable  in  each  case  being 
ignored.  It  is  not  uncommon  at  present  to 
hear  the  editorial  and  critical  work  of  the 
late  Prof.  Henry  Morloy  depreciated,  but  in 
this  connexion,  at  any  rate,  he  showed  taste 
and  discrimination.  In  the  volume  of 
*  Shorter  English  Poems'  which  he  prepared 
for  UasselPs  "Library  of  English  Literature," 
he  included  Dekker's  exquisite  lyric,  appro- 
priately calling  it  'Sweet  Content,'  and 
placing  an  accent  over  the  final  syllable  of 
"  perplexed  "  and  "  vexed  '  to  indicate  their 
Elizabethan  character.  This  should  be  done 
in  the  '  Golden  Treasury.*

That  hintorio  houiie  still  stands  in  Chatham

have  sheltered  a  future  Queen  of  England 
should  have  had  no  commemorative  tablet 
athxed  to  mark  so  interesting  an  event.  It 
is  a  picturesque  old  place,  and  might  well  be 
thus  suitably  honoured.        Cecil  Clabke.

Stevenson's  'New  Ababfan  Nights'— la 
ray  *  Bibliography  of  Robert  Louis  Steven- 
son,' \903,  p.  18, 1  pointed  out  that  tho  end- 
papers of  the  earliest  issue  of  vol.  i.  were 
yellow,  but  that  in  vol.  ii.  and  in  later 
issues  of  vol.  i.  they  were  of  a  conventional 
leaf  design,  printed  in  warm  grey  and  white. 
A  careful  examination  has  revealed  another 
point  which  differentiates  the  earliest  issue 
of  vol.  1.,  first  edition,  from  later  issues.  For 
some  reason  or  other,  tlie  original  quarter- 
fiheer,  consisting  of  pp.  .5,  G,  1),  and  12,  was 
cancelled  and  reprinted.  In  tho  original 
there  is  no  signature  at  the  foot  of  p,  5,  but 
in  the  reprint  will  be  found  "Vol.  I.  *B  3." 
The  type  is  also  slightly  thicker  than  in  the 
earliest  issue.  It  may  also  be  noted  that  in 
this  issue  the  leaf  S  8  was  cancelled,  whereas 
in  later  issues  it  was  preserved  and  the 
publishers'  device  printed  in  centre  of  recto, 
as  in  vol.  i.  of  the  second  edition.  These  de- 
tails appear  very  trilling,  but  amateurs  of 
first  editions  may  consider  them  important.

"Prp." — This  word,  in  the  sense  of  "seed 
of  an  apple"  or  the  like,  appears  to  be  of 
very  recent  formation  in  English.  I  have 
Dot  found  it  in  any  dictionary  l)efore  1818, 
when  To<ld  has  it  as  "A  kernel  in  an  apple. 
So  children  call  them."  In  other  words,  it 
appears  to  have  been  known  to  Totid  only  as 
a  nurserv  word  for  tho  literary  English 
pij^>ftin.  It  was  unknown  to  Webster  in  l82B. 
Piji  was,  however,  actaally   used  by  fruit 


growers  somewhat  earlier,  for  in  a  work  of 
1802,  Forsyth  'On  Fruit  Trees,'  chap,  vi., 
I  find  mention  of  "tlie  pip  or  seed  of  the 
golden  pippin."  I  shall  be  glad  if  any  reader 
of  *  N.  ii  Q.'  can  send  us  an  earlier  example 
of  '*pip,"  or  reference  for  it,  in  this  sense. 
Books  on  apples,  pears,  or  other  fruit  might 
be  usefully  .searched.  Please  to  note  that  we 
do  not  want  pip  in  any  other  sense.  Thero 
are  at  least  two  other  English  words  of  the 
same  form,  viz.,  pij),  the  name  of  a  disease 
to  which  ciiiokens  especially  are  liable,  and 
pip,  one  of  the  spots  on  dice,  dominoes,  or 
cards  ;  also  a  spot  on  the  skin,  and  one 
corotla  of  a  clustered  flower,  as  a  cowslip

mation about  them  is  not  wanted.

Sterne  and  Joiixsok  at  "thk  Chesiurk

seeing  an  autograph  letter  of  Sterne's 
exposed  for  sale  in  a  shop  in  Cranbourn 
Street,  LeiceHter  Square,  in  which  Sterne 
•says  he  met  Johnson  and  another  (1  am  not 
certain  wljether  Goldsmith  or  Buswell)  in 
"the  Ofd  Chesfiiro  Cheese'"  Tavern  in  Wine 
Office  Court,  Fleet  Street. 

The  probability  that  the  Iraditionsof  this 
ancient  house  are  correct  is  very  strong, 
but  the  finding  and  publication  of  .such  a 
letter  by  a  contennwrary  writer  would  place 
the  matter  beyotui  dispute.  PerhapH  an

an  angel  of  virtue  and  beauty  in  her  father's 
parish,  and  the  next  minute  leading  the  life 
of  the  most  notorious  woman  in  Paris.  She 
is  red-haired,  and  the  local  squire  says  he 
does  not  believe  in  such  a  combination  as 
"red  hair  antl  the  Bible."  Her  father  is  a

Jevkys,  Little  JonN.Jtc— In  the  fifteenth- 
nnitury  Cornish  miracle  play  'Beunans 
Mi3i  iiisek  '  is  a  cleric  who  assists  a  quack 
doctor  in  a  scene  of  vulgar  clowning.  This 
worthy  is  callc<l  "  bakcheler  Jenkyn."'  I 
have  before  me  an  old  manuscript  acting 
copy  of  the  Corni'sli  Christmas  play  (alas! 
not  now  performed)  of  *St  George.'  In  this 
ooe  of  the  comic  characters  comes  on  the 
the  Htage  with  ihe  words  :— 
I{«re  cotiies  I,  little  man  John,  with  a  sword  in  my 

hand. 
And  if  Aiiy  utTdiid  me  I  will  make  him  to  stand. 

This  "little  John"  appears  to  have  been 
the  doctor's  assistant  hei"e  also. 

In  *Tho  Sidpman's  Prologue'  in  'The 
Canterbury  Tales '   the  boat  addresaes  the 


parson,  "O  Jenkin,  be  ye  there  1 1  smell 

a  loller  in  the  wind." 

Referring  to  the  play  of  'St.  George'  (in 
spite  of  verbal  variatton.s,  evidentlj'  the 
same  play  as  in  my  MS.),  W.  S.  in  77t« 
O'entleni'tn  s  Moijazine  for  June,  1830,  speaks 
of  "  the  doctor,  who  is  generally  the  Merry 
Andrew  of  the  piece." 

Is  this  Use  of  the  name  Jenkyn  or  Little 
John  traditional  ?  I  sliould  be  grateful  for 
any  instances  of  it  elsewhere.  Robin  Hood's 
Little  John  was  merry,  but  certainly  not  a 
vulgar  clown,  as  are  those  in  the  twoCornisfi 
plays. 

In  the  same  play  of  'St.  George,'  where 
most  of  the  dialogue  is  very  straightforward, 
we  suddenly  encounter  a  burst  of  poetry, 
though  it  is  not  divided  into  lines  : — 

"Hark!  hark!  wlmt  souud  invades  mv  earal 
The  conquerora  apjjrofcch  ;  I  hear  — "tig  Hoiirv'a 
march,  'li»  Henry's  tnne.  I  know  he  conies,  lie 
cornea  victorious).  Heury  comes,  with  hautboiB, 
trunuiets,  fifes  and  drnnin.  Send  from  afar  and 
Bound  of  war  [•*(>].  Full  of  Kfief  and  every  wind

niin^IioK  of  the  Krove,  through  all  the  tningliiii; 
tracKB  of  love,  luriiuiK,  burnin);,  changing,  ranging, 
full  of  grief  and  full  of  woe,  inipatienl  from  [Mor] 
my  lord' a  returu.." 

Can  any  reader  of  '  X.  «fc  Q.'  help  me  to 
the  correct  words  \  I  have  had  to  modify 
the  spelling  of  the  extract,  as  the  original  is 
rudely  phonetic,  the  opening  line,  e.^/.,  being 
"  Hark  hark  wot  sounding  vads  my  ears  the 
conquars  a  porch,"'  and  so  on.  There  is  no 
point  of  any  kind  in  the  entire  MS.,  and  the 
tiames  of  the  characters  are  not  indicated, 
but  only  those  of  the  performers.  Penty

London  by  .snutKng  up  the  Thames  and

H  "Jax  Kees"  (lO"-   8.  iv.  B09;    v.  15).— 

Du.  •'  Kees  "  is  short  for  Cornelia.  A  Dutch 
boy  U  never  called^  Cornelia  in  full,  always 
"Kees."  Kits  or  Keeshond  is  also  the  name 
for  a  particular  kind  of  dog.  Thirdly, 
•'  Kees  "  (pi.  ••  Keezen  ")  is  in  the  history  of 
the  Netherlands  the  nickname  for  a  political 
party.  Cf.  Wijnne,  'Geschiedenis  van  het 
Vaderland,'  p.  304.  Wijnno  tells  us  that 
under  Stadliolder  William  V.  they  who 
boioiige<l  to  tlje  popular  party  were  called 
••  patriotten  "  or  "Keezen."  tlie  origin  of 
the  latter  name  is  obscure.  Some  historians 
derive  it  from  the  hea<I  of  the  popular  party 
Cornells  de  Gijzelaar,  one  of  tFie  cliief 
magistrates  of  Dordrecht  from  1779  to  1787. 
Another  explanation  is  that  the  name  was 
given  to  the  party  because  many  of  them 
kept  dogs  called  Keezen,  or  wore  earrings 
shaped  like  such  dogs.  In  the  'Woorden- 
achat,'  by  Taco  de  Beer  and  Laurillard  (a 
work  like  Brewer's  'Dictionary  of  Phrase 
and  Fable '),  s.v.  '  Keezen/  the  nickname  in 
supposed  to  have  arisen  at  Delft,  where 
there  was  at  the  head  of  the  citizens' military 
club  about  1783  a  captain  whose  head  pre- 
8enle<l  a  striking  resemblance  to  that  of  a 
Kr<ithond.  Hence  the  name  of  "  Keezen  " 
might  have  been  given  to  the  members  of 
the  club,  and  afterwards  to  the  patriotic 
party. 

It  may  be  noted  that  "Jan"  is  exten- 
sively used  in  Dutch  in  a  sort  of  general 
way  to  denote  a  person,  cj.,  "Jan  Ilap"(th6 
mob,  rabble),  "Jan  KIaa.ssen"  (a  merry- 
andrew,  Jack  Pudding),  and  "Jan  "  (the 
waiter  at  a  restaurant).  The  combination 
"Jan  Kees"  would  probably  mean  "Jan  the 
son  of  Kees."  Or  in  tl>is  phrase  kees  might 
mean  "  cheese,"  as  it  is  a  dialect  form  of

In  Ticknor's  'Life,'  1876,  vol.  ii.  chap.  vii.

BocKBFELLKR  (10"'  S.  IV.  507).— There  can 
be  little  doubt  that  the  original  form  was 
Rockafellow— one  of  the  several  family  names 
of  English  derivation  ending  in  "fellow,"  of 
which  Longfellow  is  the  most  famous,  and  a 
once  notorious  member  was  Stringfellow,  a 


111 


leader  of  the  Minsouri  "border  ruffians'' in 
the  Kansas  struggle  of  1854  sei].  The  termi- 
nation can  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  word 
"fellow,''  the  sense  "individual"  being  late 
and  most  of  the  prefixes  incompatible ;  and 
I  suggest  that  it  was  originally  "fallow,"  a 
ploughed  field,  forming  thus  one  of  the 
classes  of  farm-names  which  have  .so  enriched 
family  nomenclature.  Those  ending  with 
"■field"  in  English  and  "feld"  in  German; 
the  "  wancera "  from  old  Gothic,  as  Ell- 
wanger  (elves'  field),  Feuchtwanger  (wet 
field,  swampy  meadow),  Nicewonger  (gneiss- 
wanger,  granite  field,  rock  farm,  exactly 
correspondent  to  llocky fallow)  ;  and  the 
Scotch  or  Irish  names  of  farms,  as  Lochhead 
or  Loughhead  (corrupted  to  Loyd  and  con- 
fused with  Lloyd),  Craigie,  «fec,  will  be 
remembered.  Thus,  LoiigfalJow  would  be 
the  long  field  ;  Itockyfaliow,  the  stony  field  ; 
the  first  element  in  Stringfallow  I  do  not 
know  (a  narrow  strip  along  a  piece  of  water 
or  swamp  or  crag  ?).  The  change  to  *'  fellow  " 
would  be  easily  accounted  for  by  the  English 
habit  of  assimilating  a  najne  the  sense  of 
which  is  forgotten  to  one  with  a  plain 
meaning;  for  this  sense  of  "fallow"  died 
out.  FoitREST  Morgan.

Death  BIRD8  in  Scotland  anu  Ireland 
(10"'  S.  iv.  530).— So  far  as  Scotland  is  con- 
cerned, there  is  no  ill-luck  associated  with 
the  visit  of  a  robin  to  a  house.  During 
winter  storms  a  robin  is  a  welcome  partici- 
pant of  the  shelter  of  a  Scottish  cottage 
circle  well  known  to  me.  Thomson's  famous 
allusion— a  reminiscence  of  his  Northern 
home — contains  a  bright  and  natural  view  of 
such  ait  incident : — 

Hair  afrnid,  lie  first 
Aftainflt  the  window  b«ats  ;  then  brisk  alights 
Oa  the  warm  hearth  ;  then,  hopping  o'er  tnefloor, 
lilyea  all  the  smiling  family  aakaiice. 

Tlie  statement  of  O.  W.  that  a  super- 
stition of  ill-luck  on  the  subject  prex'ails  in 
England  differs  from  the  opinion  among  the 
Eoglish  poets.  Wordsworth's  lines  on  '  The 
Redbreast'  are  full  of  cheerful  retlecLion. 
His  opening  remarks  are  these  :  —

Majok  Ricbabo  Cromwell.  1648  (10"*  S- 
V.  69).— The  entry  on  the  'Journals  of  the 
House  of  Commons,'  21  Dec,  1G48  (vi.  102), 
quoted  by   Mr.  AIason',  appears  to  indicate 

clearly  that  Richard  Cromwell,  son  and  sue-    

CMsor  of  Oliver,  the  Lord  Protector,  began  j  iu'atrendance  on  the  king,  w'tji  whom  he  is 
his  career  by  serving  in  the  army  of  the  j  ^aij  to  have  sympathized  rather  than  witli 
Parliament.     The    'Diet.    Nat.    Biog."    says    tlie  Parliament.  W.  L.  Rdtton. 

that  he  "probably  entered  the  parliamentary 


riedly  equipped  forces  or  the  time ;  hi» 
brother  Oliver  is  shown  in  Noble's  '  Memoirs ' 
to  have  been  a  captain  at  the  age  of  twenty. 
Noble,  apparently  unaware  of  the  evidence 
in  the  'Journals,'  is  imsitive  that  Richard 
was  not  in  the  army  at  the  perio<l  in  ques- 
tion, and  points  to  his  admission  to  th& 
Society  of  Lincoln's  Inn,  27  May,  1647.  But 
we  must  suppose  that  he  then  gave  up  the- 
sword  for  the  law,  although  in  December, 
1618,  be  is  still  styled  major.  It  is  inter- 
esting to  learn  that  as  an  otlicer  he  had  beeo 


army,  as  di<l  his  brothers  Oliver  and  Henry,' 
anri  this  may  now  be  taken  as  proved  by  the 
mention  of  him  in  the  'Journals,'  joined  to 
other  evidence.  The  Lords  recommend  iiim 
for  consideration  as  having  been  "long  em- 
ployed by  tlio  Parliament  both  in  attonrlance 
on  the  person  of  the  king  and  in  several 
other  services,  to  his  great  charge  and 
expense."  Other  and  earlier  evidence  of 
bis  having  been  in  the  army  is  found  in  tlie 
charge  brought  by  John  Lilburne  in  1647 
against  the  great  Oliver  for  placing  his  rela- 
tives in  the  army,  and  "amongst  them  two 
of  his  own  sons,  one  a  captain  in  theOoneral's

wa.s  a  colonel  in  the  king's  army),  Thomas,

names,  he  would  probably  be  the  Richard 
referred  to,  as  tlie  latter  was  nrcsuniably 
promoted  about  this  time  :  tjthcrwise  he 
must  have  been  the  Protector's  undo,  as  be 
is  the  only  Richard  to  be  found  under  that

"Breton  "  (10'"  8.  v.  29)  is  the  namo  of  a 
very  old  game  of  cards,  dating  back  to  early 
in  the  sixteenth  century.  It  is  not  included 
in  lUbelais's  list  (1532),  but  it  is  thought  by 
some  that  the  first  game  mentioned  by  him 
(/«  ./fitr)  was  akin  to  it.  In  the  game  itself 
the  term  is  applied  to  a  combination  of  three 
cards  of  the  same  sort,  such  as  three  kings. 
There  are  several  variations  of  the  game  of 
brelan,  the  simplest  appearing  to  be  when 


two  to  five  j)ersons  play  with  a  piquet  pack, 
the  cards  having  the  same  order  as  in  piquet 
and  whist,  save  that  a  brelan  of  knaves  ia 
tlie  highest.  Three  cards  are  dealt  to  each 
player,  and  if  no  one  has  a  brelan,  each  in 
turn  discards  one  card  from  his  hand,  and 
draws  in  one  froru  the  pack,  until  a  brelan  is 
acquired.  The  holder  thereof  is  the  winner 
of  the  partie,  and  if  he  has  a  "brelan  de 
valets  "  he  receives  double  stakes.

found,  not  in  the  '  Illustrations'  to  Drayton's

"  From  the  Author  of  the  Illustrations."  The 
preliminary  pages  of  the  '  Polyolbion '  are 
unnumbered,  but  the  line  is  quoted  on  the  leaf 
A  4,  recto.  As  tlii.s  address  is  signed  in  my 
copy,  and  1  presume  in  others,  by  SeUlen 
with  his  own  hand,  tliere  is  no  ground  for 
sayiuK  that  tlie  'Illustrations'  are  "attri- 
buted" to  him.  Nor,  to  ray  recret,  can  I 
agree  with  the  Editor  that  the  line  is  "  pro- 
bably Seldens  own,  us  he  generally  gives 
reference."*  for  quotations  from  Latin  and 
Greek  authors."  The  reverse  is  rather  the 
fact,  as  ou  the  same  page  on  which  the  line 
occurs  there  are  two  Greek  quotations,  and 
two  otlier  Latin  quot-ations,  to  not  one  of 
which  is  a  reference  given.*  Xor  is  it  likely 
that  Selden  would  compose  a  solitary  penta- 
meter in  or<ler  to  point  his  enoral.  The  line 
seeniH  to  belong  to  one  of  the  Italian  fM>ets  of 
the  Iletsaiasance,  and  may  possibly  be  found 
in  one  of  the  bcKjks  forming  the  library  of

Manchester.

'  TuE  EpicuRK'a  Almasack  '  (10^''  S.  V.  4). 
— There  is  no  reason  to  suppose  tliat  Benson 
Earle  Hill  edited  'The  Epicure's  Almanack  * 
for  1815.  My  copy  gives  no  editor's  or 
author's  name,  but  it  is  attributed  (witiuiut 
authority)  to  one  James  White,  of  whom  I 
know  nothing.  '  The  Epicure's  Almanack  '  for 
1841  and  that  for  1842  (I  have  no  ci>py  of 
1843)  were  undoubtedly  edited  by  Hill,  who 
dates  his  preface  for  the  former  year  from 
Rrompton  (publishers,  How  it  Parsons,  132, 
Fleet  Street).  There  is  much  excellent  work 
and  quaint  advice  in  both  almanacs.  The 
series  is  continued  by  'The  Epicure's  Year- 
Books'  of  18G8  and  18G9,  both  ediletl  by 
Fin-Bee,  otherwise  Blanchard  .Terrold.  They 
were  published  by  Hradbury,  Evans  &  Co., 
and  the  former  has  a  vignette  and  orna- 
mental initials  by  John  Leighton,  F.S.A. 
Accorfling  to  the  preface,  these  Year-Bw)ks 
were  to  have  been  published  annually  ;  but 
I  know  of  only  these  two  years.  Of  course, 
.ferrold  was  resj>onsibIe  for  many  other  culi- 
nary publications,  such  as  "Knife  and  Fork,' 
'The  Cuplward  Papers,'  'The  Dinner  Boll.' 
and  'The  Book  of  Menus,'  all  of  which  I 
possess.  'Tl»e  Epicure's  Almanack  '  was  re- 
vived in  a  curious  way  in  1884,  and  1  have  in 
my  library  an  "early  proof  copy."  The 
book  was  to  have  been  published  by  DaviJ 
Bogue,  but,  according  to  a  note  on  the  tly- 
leaf  of  my  copy,  it  was  "given  to  tne  by  D. 
Bogne,  and  is  the  only  one  done,  the  work 
never  having  been  proceeded  with."  It  i» 
described  on  the  title-page  as  "  a  waistctMit 
T>ocket  calendar  of  goon  cheer  and  table  talk 
for  the  year  1884."  No  author's  name  is 
given,  but  the  preface  is  signed  C.  E  P.. 
.Michaelmas,  1883.  I  can  find  no  record  of 
lids  little  book  anywliere.

inform  Mr.  E  S.  Doix;son  and  those  readers 
of  •  N.  ik  Q.'  who  are  interested  in  the 
subject  that  the  notice  of  tliis  old  novel  in

a  brief  extract  from  which  was  given  in 
Messrs.  Lackington,  Allen  A  Co.'s  catalogue 
of  1815,  appeared  in  the  number  for  March, 
1808.  I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  E.  E.  Newton, 
of  West  Hampstead,  for  the  loan  of  the 
volume  for  January  to  June,  1808,  and  have 
at  my  elbow  a  type  written  copy  of  the 
lengthy  criticism  upon  a  botik  wliich  must 
have  creatcfj  some  stir  in  its  day.  "Therein 
the  plot  of  the  story  is  fully  outlined,  its 
motive  being  the  desire  to  expose  and  casti- 
gate an  al)ominabIe  'New  I'hilosophy ' 
which  prevailed  amongst  certain  dissolute 
claiiHe-s  of  society,  a  discourse  upon  the  evils 
of  wiiicii  takes  up  much  space  at  the  cora- 
niencenient  of  an  article  highly  appreciative 
of  the  efforts  of  the  writer  and  the  force  of 
his,  or  tier,  denunciations.  Tlie  criticism  i-s 
signed  by  J.  M.,  the  initials,  it  is  assumed,  of

was  probably  unable  to  pierce  the  mask  of 
anonymity. 

The  book,  containing  scenes  of  the  most 
harrowing,  pathetic  nature,  is  one  calculated 
to  stir  the  finest  emotions,  and  to  point  a 
truly  moral  le.ison.  The  fact  that '  Ileljecca '

Ann  Catherine  Holbrook,  would  seem  to  lend 
colour  to  the  inference  that  this  lady  was  the 
author  of  the  work  under  discussion,  as 
some  have  conjectured.  She  lived  in  the 
village  of  Sandon,  in  Staffordshire,  not  far 
distant,  where  corroborative  evidence  of 
identity,  with  discovery  of  the  mi.ssing  third 
volume,  might  be  the  result  of  diligent  search 
on  the  part  of  natives,  h  would  also  be 
appropriate  to  repinnt  the  novel  in  its

ciate and  admire  Ihe  linked  workmanship  as  well 
as  to  realize  in  it«  entirety  the  view  Mr.  Swiif 
burne  forms  concerning  that  great  i|ue«ti  who 
occupies  a  share  in  human  thoughts  only  exceeded 
or  equalled  by  that  of  Helen  of  Troy  or  Cleopatra. 
A  noteworthy  feature  in  vol.  iv.  consists  of 
the  ]>rosc  estimate  of  Mary  Stuart,  written  in  part 
as  an  answer  to  the  defence  of  the  queen  by  eccle- 
siastical authorities.  The  action  of  the  drama  ex- 
tends from  14  August,  1.^SG,  to  18  February,  15H7,  or 
from  the  detection  by  Walsingham  of  Babington's 
yitot  to  the  execution  of  the  <Jaecn,oa  which  Mary 
Beaton  comments,  as  formerly  ahe  commented  od 
the  death  ofChastelard. 

Vol.  V.  meanwhile  contains  no  fewer  than  fonr 
plays,  vi/.,,  'Locrine.'  'The  Sistera,'  'Marino 
Faliern,'  and  '  Roaamund,'  one  of  which,  wc  fancy— 
the  first— has  known  a  species  of  repreeentadon-

(Nottingham,  Murray's  Book  Company.) 
Si'KCiALiziN«  advances  in  ever-narrowing  circles, 
and  nn  doubt  the  itresent  slim  quarto  on  broochea 
will  be  followed  in  due  time  by  a  more  minute 
treatise  on  the  ptroiu'  or  brooch-pin.  Mrs.  Heaton 
in  her  fifty  pages  takes  a  cursory  glauoe  over  a  wid* 
field,  which  ranges  from  Assyrian  and  Egyptian 
down  tu  Celtic,  Scandinavian,  and  Anglo  Saxon.

Up}Hr  Xorirood  Afhemeum :  Tne  Reeoiil  of  the 
Winter  Mfflinui  Ctud  Summer  Kxcuntionn,  I'MS. 
Edited  by  Theophilus  Pitt,  F.C.S.  This  twenty- 
ninth  volume  is  as  interesting  as  the  previous  ones. 
The  places  vuiied  in  the  winter  included  Sir  John 
Soane's  Museum,  when  Mr.  Frank  E.  Spiers  read 
a  paiier;  Allhallows,  Barking,  wiiere  the  editor  of 
the  'Record'  acted  as  conductor;  and  the  Whit- 
gift  Ho.<)pital,  about  which  we  had  much  in  our 
Ninth  Series. 

The  fir^t  summer  excursion  was  to  Maidstone, 
Mr.  Thatcher  l>eicg  the  leader:  and  the  second  to> 
Greenwich,  when  Mr.  Vincent  took  liie  party  to- 
St  Alphege's,  and  afterwards  tu  the  Park  toL-xuniin» 
the  many  objects  of  Roman  antiquity  now  piaccdl 
in  lliQ  pnrk-kee|>er's  house,  including  a  fragment 
of  |>aveinent  discovered  by  Mr.  Webster  in  P,102. 
Oilier  ranililes  were  to  Stralford-on-Avon,  St. 
Albans.  iJenham,  Coring,  Lulliiigslone,  Cowley, 
and  St.  Peter's,  Ivor.  In  this  church  there  is  a 
tablet  t-o  tt  learned  bricklayer  :  "  Venlurus  ^Iandey, 
died  1701,  of  Sr.  (liles  in  Ihe-Fields,  many  years 
•  Bricklayer  to  the  lion.  Soc.  of  l^iiicolira  Inn.'  Ifo 
was  studious  in  mathematics,  and  wrote  and  pub- 
lished three  books  for  the  public  good;  one  entitled 
'  MelliHuium  Monciones,  or  the  Marrow  ol  Measur- 
ing ';  another  of '  Mechanical  Powers,  or  the  Mystery 
of  Nature  and  Art  Unvayloil';  the  third  a  "  Uiii»- 
versal  Mathematical  iSynoi)ais.'  He  also  translated 
into  English'  DireotoriumCenerale  Uranomelricum,' 
and  '  Trigonomeli-ia  Plana  et  Spherica,  Linearis  eb 
LogarithmicB  :  auctore  Fr.  Bonaventura  Cavalerio- 
Mediolanense,'  and  some  other  tracts,  which  lie 
desigiied  to  have  printed  if  death  had  not  prevented 
him."  Mr.  Theophilus  Pill  deserves  praise  for  his 
careful  editing  of  the  '  Fiecord,' and  the  beautiful 
illustrations  make  the  little  volume  very  attractive.

MAGDALEN  COLLEGE  SCHOOL  AND  THE 
'D.N.B.' 
(«ee  lO"'  S.  iv.  21,  101,  ISi,  '2-M,  3&i.) 
The  adverse  criticism  of  one  under  sixteen 
year«  of  age,  who  had  spent  but  fourteen 
months  in  ColleEe  as  an  undergraduate, 
would  gerieraUy  deserve  to  be  disregarded. 
But  when  the  ooy,  whose  brief  sojourn  at 
Alagdaleu  was  varied  by  frequent  absences, 
developes  into  the  master  of  a  majestic  prose 
style,  nis  impressions  cannot  be  so  lightly 
put  aside.  Mward  Gibbon's  chief  justifica- 
iioti  for  dragging  the  "monks  of  Itagdalen  " 
before  the  bar  ot  history  would  appear  to  lie 
in  the  weak  'Vindication'  of  tiie  College 
made  by  James  Ilurdis,  Professor  of  Poetry, 
in  answer  to  the  greater  writer's  attack.  The 
stately  aoninolenco  of  Waynflete's  foundation 
at  this  perioti  is  practically  admitted.  To 
Gibbon's  complaint  that  the  fourteen  months 
of  his  stay  in  Oxford  were  "the  most  idle 
and  unprofitahle  of  tny  whole  life,"  Hurdis 
replies  with  elaborate  abuse  of  the  author  of 
'The  Decline  and  Fall  of  theKoman  Empire,' 
and  with  the  remark,  "  It  was  Magdalen 
College  which  returned  him  into  the  hands 
of  his  friends,  as  fitter  for  the  society  of 
the  School  tiian  that  of  the  College"  (t'tdf 
Gibbon's  '  Memoirs,'  ed.  O.  Birkbeck  Hill, 
low,  pp.  18,  50,  53-73;  'Reminiscences  of 
Oxford,  od.  Miss  Ouiller  Couoli,  1802, 
pr>.  133-48).  Thomas  Jtmner,  who  had  been 
ejlucnted  as  a  boy  at  the  School,  was  at  this 
[  time  I'resident  of  his  College  and  Margaret 
Profeenor  of  Divinity.  Gibbon's  second 
tut()r  (whoso  name  he  suppressed),  Tiiomas 
Winchester,  had  beguu  life  as  a  chorister,  j 


and  was  a  tutor,  and  lateracouir         '   ,  lay- 
man, of  some  note,  in  spite  of  th>  ^i's 
disparaging  remarks  concerning  Iikm  1 1  .luxain, 
i.    loO-5).     Another  of   the   "monks'"   was 
Dr.    Thomas    West    (chorister,    1720;    Jjed 
Fellow,  1781),  sometime  rector  of  Horsingion 
who  "declared  he  had  eaten   the  bread  o/ 
William    Patten    for    three-quarters    of    a 
century."      He    is    commemorated    by    the 
structure  (called  after  ids  name)  near  tlio 
Clierwell,  the    cost   of    which    was    chiefly 
defrayed    bv    a    legacy    left    by   biin.      An 
ancient  building   which  is  believed  to  bave 
formed    part   of  the    fabric    of  St.   John's 
Hospital    was  destroyed  in    1783    to    make 
room  for  "West's  Building."    1 1  is  recorded 
of  Dr.    West  that  upon  one  occasion,  on  a 
journey  to   London,  he  inadvertently  took 
his  seat,  at  the  half-way  house,  in  the  coadi 
from    which    he    had     recently    descended. 
This,    according     to     custom,     returnwl    to 
Oxford,  and  on  repassing  the  bridge  drew 
from    the    learned     traveller     the     remark 
"  Well,  if  I  did  not  know  that  I  was  going 
to  London,  I  could  almost  swear  that  t/Mt 
was  Magdalen  Tower  !"    When  the  unhappy 
Dr.  Dodd  was  hangetl  for  forgery,  some  one 
observed  to  Dr.  West,  "  •  Ah  1  Doctor,  thh  ia 
sad  disgrace  on   the   Doctorate.''      K-fiiui,' 
was  the  reply,   *  he  was  only  «  Doctor  of 
Laws,  though  I'"  (Bloxain,  i.  U7 ;   Wilson, 
230).

with  hi^  friend  I^niaiiiin  Bailey,  afterwards 
Archdeacon  of  Colombo,  then  an  under- 
graduate of  Magdalen  Hall.  Daring  hia 
visit  to  *'  the  finest  city  in  the  world  "  the 
poet  reads  Wordsworth  while  exploring  the 
river  in  his  boat,  make.s  an  excursion  with 
Bailey  to  Stralford-on-Avon,  continues  his 
study  of  Milton,  and  writes  the  third  book  of 
his  *  Eodyoiion.'  The  year  before  an  Act  of 
Parliament  was  obtained  by  which  the  site 
and  buildings  of  the  defunct  Hertford  College, 
formerly  Hart  Hall,  were  acquired  for  Mag- 
dalen Hall. 

Early  on  Sunday  moroinK,  9  Jan.,  Ifl20, 
during  the  vacation,  the  guard   of  a   mail- 
coach,  passinR  throuRh  the  street  saw,  and 
gave  the  alarm,  that  Magdalen  Hall  was   on 
fire.     The  rtanies  liad  broken  out  in  the  rooms 
of  an   untlergraduate  with  a  passion  for  the 
stage,  who  the  evening  before  had  given  a 
dramatic  entertainment, followed  by  a  soppier, 
And  iiad  forgotten  to  e.xtinguish  all  thelights 
I'before  going  to  be<l.   About  half  of  the  build- 
rings  of  the  Hall  were   burnt  down  ;  and  in 
1822  the  members  of  the  Hall  took  possession 
of    their    new   abode    (since  1874   HerlfonI 
College  once  more),  Magdalen  College  taking 
over  the  old  site  of  the  Hall  and  the  remains 
of  its  buildings.    The  old  Grammar  Scliool 
building,  save  the  bell  turret,  was  removed 
jIn  182»,  owing  to    the  fact  that  the  fabric 
wft«    unsafe.      The    School,     wliich     under 
Henry    Jenkins    (1810-28)     and     Richard 
Walker  (1828-44)  was  practically  limited  to 
tiie  choristers,  was  for  the  time  carried  on  in 
8ome    of    the    remaining    buildings    of    the 
former   Hall  ;    and    afterwards— upon   their 
removal  in  184.T— transferred  to  rooms  in  the 
Chaplain's  Quadrangle.     The  remains  of  the 
nortii    en(l    of    the    old    schoolroom    were 
adapted  by  J.  C'.  Buckler  to  form  the  south 
front  of  the  block  adjoining  them,  now  known 
as    the    Grammar    Hall   (Wilson.   238.   239; 
Hamilton's  *  Hertford  College,'  l.K.)).     In  1829 
William  Mills  was  apiK)iute<l  the  first  Whyle 
Professor  of  Moral  Philosophy  :  he  ftad  been 
educated  at  Magdalen  School   and  College. 
CJeorge  Grantham,  Fellow  of  the  College,  was 
usher  from  IflOl  until  his  death  in  1840.     He 
fell  out  of  liis  window  at  bedtime  into  the 
deer  park,  and  was  found  there  next  morn- 
ing by  his  scout,  dead  with  a  broken  neck, 
the  deer  crowding  round  him  in  an  alarmed 
circle.     "There  was  a  fire  in  the  antcchapel 
at  that  time,  and  Lhesurpliced  boys  used  as 
they    passed    it    to    ilej>osit  chestnuts    and 
potatoes ,  wliich    tlioy    recovered   wwi^itra   tl 
cuct'i,  when   they  came  out"  {vide  Rev-  W, 
TuckweU'x  'Beminiscences  of  Oxford.'  p.  73). 
of  Magdalen 


also  removed  in  1845  the  houses  facing  the 
''Gravel  Walk  ''  Ijetween  those  buildings  and 
the    corner  of  Long  Wall.    These    changes 
were  intended   to  clear  the  ground  for  the 
School,  which  at  this  time  consisted  of  aboub 
twenty  -  six     members,    all     told  :    sixteen 
choristers  and    nine  or  ten  day-boys.    But 
before    the  work  of  building  was    actually 
begun  a  question  was  raised  as  to  the  obliga- 
tion of  the  College  to  maintain  the  School 
as  a  place  where  all  comers  should  be  taught 
gratuitously,  and   an  application   was  made 
to    the    Court  of   Chaticory  to   enforce  the 
alleged  obligation.    The  Court,  however,  re- 
fused   to  interfere,  holding  that   the  School 
was  a  part  of  the  College,  and  that  its  ad-

"  KT  TU.  BRUTK  !  " 

A  FRiENJ>,  who  had  been  reading  Ben 
Jonson's  comedy  '  Every  Man  out  of  hi^ 
Humour,"  asked  mo  recently  if  there  was 
ancient  autliority  for  this  saying,  whicli 
occurs  in  Act  V.  sc.  iv.  I  told  liim  that  I 
had  always  believe<i  it  to  be  of  classic  origin, 
and  that  it  would  probably  be  found  eiliier 
in  Pluterch  or  Suetonius.  .  Shortly  after- 
wards he  showed  me  the  "  Mermaid "  edition 
of  the  play,  and  pointed  out  a  foot-note 
which  atated  that  the  origin  of  the  plirase 
wa'i  unknown. 

Jonxon's  comedy  was  acted  in  1509,  and 
was  prej*enle<l  before  Queen  Elizabeth,  in 
whoije  honour  the  epilogue  waa  composed. 
The  phrase  may  be  leaid  to  Im  employed  in  a 
jocular  senne  in  this  play  ;  but  if  we  turn 
to  Shakespeare's  'Julius  Qesar,'  III.  i., 
wo  4hall  find  it  used  in  all  it-q  tragic  force. 
Tiiis  work  was  first  printed  in  the  Folio  of 
IG23,  but  there  is  evidence  to  sfiow  that  it 
was  pnxluced  before  IGOl  (S.Lee's  'Life  of 
Wm.  Sliakespeare,'  third  ed.,  p.  211^. 
Whether  or  not  Jonson  thought  tliat  his 
great  rival  was  poaching  in  what  he  con- 
8idere<l  liin  own  preHerves,  it  seems  certain 
that  tiie  former  had  a  dislike  to  this  play, 
for  both  in  Ids  '  Discoveries '  and  in  his 
*Staj)le  of  N'ews'  he  ridicules  the  line  in 
III.  1.,  which  must  have  originally  run  :  — 
Know,  Cxvkv  doth  not  wrong  but  with  just  cause. 
As  the  above  mentioned  comedy  was  pro- 
duced in  lt>25,  it  ia  clear  that  Jonson's 
strictures  were  not  founded  on  the  ainended 
version  as  it  appears  in  the  Folio  of  1623. 
But  that  is  by  the  way. 

On  the  expression  at  the  head  of  this  note 
O,  L,  C'raik,  in  Ins  admirable  book  '  The 
English  of  Shakespeare,  illustrated  in  a 
I'hiloIogicKJ  Commentary  on  his  "  Julius 
Cft'sar""  (fourth  ed  ,  p.  224,  Loudon,  1800), 
writes  a^  follows  :— 

"  There  i* no  anrieiit  Latin  aiUlmrity,  I  believe,  for 
thi*  faiiioiia  exolaniatioi),  aUliouuh  in  ijiietnniu*,  i., 
82,  L'icaar  ia  made  toaddreaa  Brutiia  kii!  (ri>,  t«ki'ov; 
(and  thou  too,  my  »o(i  ?).  It  may  have  occurred  ft<) 
it  atanda  here  in  (he  Lttdti  play  on  (he  same  auhject 
which  is  rocordeil  to  have  L>een  acted  at  Oxfunl  in 
IS82;and  it  in  ioniid  in  '  Tlie  True  Trtt«eiiy  of 
Kicharil,  Dnkr  M  V'-rrlfJ'  firt^t  printed  \'\  l.TM,  on 
which  the 'Ti  1im  .'<ixih'  ia 

founded,  im  '  .n,  entitled 

'Acolaalua  11.. ; ...  liitA  in  hoth 

of  which  coQteni|iorary   jiroduuliona  we  hare  the 


same  line .-  'AV  /«,  Bruit .'    Will  thou  slab  C.war 
loo  ?  •  '• 

From  this  account  one  would  gather  that 
the  phrase,  employed  first  by  Jonson  and 
then  by  Shakespeare,  so  far  as  they  are  con- 
cernefl.  might  have  been  taken  from  'The 
True  Tragedy  of  Richard ' ;  but  the  namo 
'  Acolastus,'  given  to  his  poera  by  Nicholson, 
suggests  something  else.  This  writer  is  said 
to  be  "  notable  for  his  plagiarisms  from  Shake- 
speare's 'Venus  and  Adonis'  and  'Rajje  of 
Lucrece'"  (Davenport's  'Diet,  of  English 
Literature')*  &»d.  as  he  mentions  the  expres- 
sion given  at  the  head  of  this  note,  may 
he  not  have  found  it  in  "The  Comedy  of 
Acolastua,  translated  into  our  English  Tongue, 
after  such  a  manner  as  Children  are  taught 
in  the  Grammar  School,  <i:c  ,  by  Jolni  Pals- 
grave. Lond.,  l'>40"f  The  original  author 
is  said  to  be  ''  Fullonius,  William"  (Lowndes^ 
p.  757),  about  wliom  I  know  nothing. 

It  seems  to  lue  that  the  exclamation  "  Et 
tu.  Brute  !''  is  very  little  different  from  that 
recordeil  by  the  historian  of  the  first  twelve 
Cteiars  in  the  eighty-second  chapter  of  his 
Ufa  of  Julius,  wiiere  the  assassination  is 
describetl  as  follows  :— 

"  Finding  himself  now  attacked  on  all  hands  with 
drawn  awcirdtf,  he  wrajiped  up  Ikiai  head  in  hia  tuea, 
and  at  the  aame  lime  drew  llic  Up  of  it  over  his 
leg*,  that  he  mi(;ht  fall  Ihe  more  decently,  with  the 
lower  rnrt  of  his  body  covered.  He  was  slabbed 
with  three  and-lwcnly  wonnda,  feichinR  n  frroait 
only  upon  the  Hrsl  wound;  though  Boiiie  nulhors 
relate  that  when  M.  lirutue  came  upon  hiui,  he 
aaid, '  What  1  art  thou  one  of  them  too,  thou,  my 
son?'" 

Thomson,  whose  translation  I  have  bor- 
roweil,  subjoins  the  following  note  :  — 

"  This  passage  is  translated  as  it  stands  in  moat 
of  the  editions  of  Suetonius  :  but  these  words  are 
not  in  the  Salinasinn  co|)y,  and  I  am  struuKly  in- 
clined to  reject  their  authority.  It  is  extroniely 
im|irobahlo  timt  Cx^sar,  who  hail  never  before 
avowed  Brutus  to  be  his  son,  ahould  make  so  lui- 
necesaary  an  acknowledgment  to  that  purpose,  at 
the  moment  of  his  death.  Exclusive  of  this  objec- 
tion, the  apostrophe  seems  too  verbose,  both  for 
the  suddenness  and  celerity  of  the  occasion,  Unt 
this  is  not  all.  Can  we  Bup|)080  that  Casar,  though 
a  perfect  master  of  the  Greek,  would  at  such  a 
time  have  ex|>res8ed  himself  in  that  langtiaijft 
rather  than  the  Latin,  his  familiar  tongue,  and  m 
which  he  spoke  witli  peculiar  elegance?  Upon  the 
whole,  the  prohabilily  is  lliat.  the  wordu  uttered  by 
Ciesar  were  '  Kt  tu.  Brute  1'  which,  while  equally 
expresaive  of  astonishment  with  the  other,  and 
even  of  tenderness,  are  IkjIIi  more  natural  and 
more  emphatic."— Pp.  tJ.>  6,  L<Miil«r>,  171K}. 

Thonjson  seems  to  have  been  utiaware  that 
I'tKvov  is  frequently  used  as  a  term  of  endear- 
ment. But  with  his  conclusion  one  does  not 
feel  disposed  to  ijuarrel,

Oeorok  Jacou  Holyo.vke  :  Georoe  Jclias 
Harnky. — Perusal  of  the  many  tributes  paid 
by  the  press  to  tlie  worth  of  the  late  Mr. 
Holyoake  prompts  me  to  point  ovit  the 
curious  agreement  in  tlie  initials  of  this  re- 
taarkable  man  and  those  of  that  other  well- 
known  Chartist  whose  name  I  have  linked 
with  his.  Both  also,  as  wo  know,  were 
doughty  champions  of  tiie  cause  they  es- 
pousedj  both  Bcholars  an<l  journalists  of 
repute,  and  both  were  permitted  to  live  to  a 
ripe  old  age  far  beyond  the  allotted  span. 
Then  they  were  b<jth  contributors  to  the 
p<^es  of  '  N.  &  C^.'  Mr.  Harney  died  on 
9  December,  1897,  and  tlisplayed  to  the  last 
a  keen  interest  in  the  methods  for  perpe- 
tuating the  memory  of  Lord  Byron,  by  com- 
memorative tablet  or  otherwise,  as  your 
columns  bear  testimony.  Of  the  poet's  works 
he  was  a  great  student  and  admirer.

G.  J.  Holyoake:  C!(t artists  an'd  Special 
Constables. — In  the  interasting  article  on 
George  Jacob  Holyoake  in  77ie  Alhcmwin  for 
27  January  reference  is  made  to  hia  recol- 
lections of  old  Chartists. 

I  Irave  oftfln  wondered  how  many  of  the 
army  of  special  coustaliles  sworn  in  in  1848 
in  Loudon,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  Duke  of 
Wellington,  to  fight  the  Chartists,  are  now 
living.  My  brother  (the  late  Canon  Isaac 
Taylor)  was  one  of  them  wtien  a  student  at 
King's  College,  and  bad  his  baton. 

In  conversation,  shortly  before  his  death, 
with  Dean  Farrar  (who  waj>  a  friend  of  my 
biotlinr  and  at  college  with  fiim),  I  reminded 
him  of  the  circumstance,  and  asked  him  if  he 
still  hail  his  baton.  His  reply  was  that, 
unfortunately,  iie  was  only  seventeen  at  that 
time,  and  so  below  the  legal  age,  my  brother 
being  eigli teen.  Henry  Taylois.

G-  J.  Hoi^yoAKE:  ins  Name.  —  The  form 
of  this  patronymic  is  peculiar,  and  one  asks. 
Is  it  named  from  the  holm-oak  {QiietTus  ilex), 
or  from  the  mallow  (Allhaja), called  the  holly- 
hock or  holyhoke,  witli  endless  variants'? 
The  latter  plant  has  been  popularly  canon- 
iTOd  in  connexion  with  St.  Cutiibert  as 
rnulis  iSdricti  Cutkberti.  It  ap|>ears  that  Dr. 
Murray  calls  the  sullix  hoc  of  unknown 
origin ;  I  would  suggest  a  reference  to  the 
Celtic  ock  for  water,  Latin  ayua,  as  in 
"aqui-folium,"  or  hoc  leaf.  True,  the  "aqui" 
is  for  ncutm,  or  sharp,  pointed,  as  with  the 
holly,  the  scarlet  holm  ;  but  borrowed  words 
are  freely  di.storted.  A.  Hall. 


••  BowET,"  AN  Arcditectural  Lastewt. 
— The  word  "bowet"  is  deBned  in  the

AiOlAKAC  OF  1544.— We  have  within  the 
Bt  few  years  l)een  repairing  our  old  parish 
jks.  One  of  these  is  an  account  book  cora- 
Fmenciiig  in  15H2(li;iizal)eth's reign).  Oneof  the 
binders  at  the  Record  Othce,  where  our  buoka 
have  been  most  excellently  treated,  brought 
me  itn  almanac  which  he  had  discovered  in 
the  binding  nf  tliis  account  Ixiok.  It  is 
veritably  what  wo  should  call  a  xhect  almanac 
of  the  date  1544,  printed  by  Richard  Grafton 


in  black  -  letter.  The  Kalendar  I  take  to 
be  that  of  Sarura.  There  are  in  addition  to 
this,  and  as  a  border  to  tiie  Kalendar,  the 
signs  of  the  zodiac,  depicted  in  charming 
little  wo(xlcuts.  There  are  also  remarks  of  a 
quaint  kind, and  directions  as  regards  health, 
tlie  weather,  and  eclipses. 

Should  any  of  your  readers  care  to  see  the 
almanac,  I  shall  be  delighted  to  show  it  to 
them,  if  they  will  drop  me  a  line.  The  church 
is  open  daily  between  11.30  and  2,  and  on 
Thursdays  and  Fridays  until  4.

'  Oliver  Twi.st,'  an  Error.  —  The  refer- 
ences to  Dickens's  mistake  in  'Nicholas 
Nickleby '  {ante,  p.  71)  remind  me  of  a 
curious  slip  in  *  Oliver  Twist,'  which  I  do 
not  remember  to  have  seen  noticed.  The  last 
paragraph  liegins  thu.s  :  "Within  the  altar 
of  the  old  village  cimrch  there  stanils  a  wliite 
marble  tablet."  It  would  be  diflicult  to  place 
a  marble  tablet  "  within  the  altar."  Dickens 
probably  wrote  "altar  rails";  for  Cruik- 
shank's  plate  shows  the  rails,  but  with  the 
tablet  outside  them,  and  apparently  by  the 
side  of  the  east  window.  Tiie  right  word  is, 
of  course,  "chancel."

Medicine.  —  Id  Beaumant  and  Fletcher's 
*  Knight  of  the  Burning  Pe.slle'  there  are  a 
number  of  instunce.s  of  old  folklore  merJi- 
cine,  tlie  origin  and  significance  of  which  I 
have  not  been  able  to  trace.  Can  you  give 
nie  aasislance.  either  by  way  of  direct  ex- 
planation or  by  pointing  rao  to  analogou<i 
instances  in  the  literature  of  the  sixteenth 
and  seventeenth  centuries?  I  refer  to  the 
belief  of  the  Citizen's  Wife  that  a  cure  for 
chilblains  may  Ije  foun<i  in  rubbing  the  feet 
with  a  niouHo's  skin,  or  rolling  tliem  in  the 
warm  etnl>crs  ;  also,  to  tlio  virtue  of  ''put- 
ting his  fingers  between  his  toes,  and  smell- 
ing to  them  "  (see  Act  III.  sc.  ii..  Dyce's  od, 
of  0.  and  F.'s  Wks.,  vol.  ii.  p.  181);  also,  to 
tho  relief  of  "worms'*  through  the  use  of 


caiduus  benedictus  and  mare's  milk  (p.  J80) ; 
also,  to  Ralph's  stalement  that  on  May  Day 
"butter  with  a  leaf  of  sage  is  good  to  purge 
the  blood"  (p.  214).  Was  there  any  super- 
stition connecte<i  with  the  notion  that  green 
ginger  was  of  especial  potency  in  curing 
bruises, particularly  "i>eppernel  la  the  head"? 
See  p.  IGl. 

I  have  likewise  been  unable  to  discover 
the  legend  or  incident  implietJ  in  the  Wife'd 
wonis,  •*  They  say  'tis  present  death  for  these 
liddlers  to  tune  their  rebecks  before  the  great 
Turk's  grace  '  (p.  I 'iS). 

Lastly,  I  can  find  no  exposition  of  t)ie  idea 
that  a  ring  was  useful  in  discoverin'j  enchant- 
raonls  (p.  KJG).  thougb  medifcval  literature 
contains  abundant  illustrations,  of  course,  of 
other  magical  properties  in  rings. 

I  shall  be  gUd  if  readers  of  '  N.  i  Q.  will 
aid   rao  in  any  degiee  in  elucidating  these 
points  of  the  play,  and  should  esteem  it  a

PKACUCK  AS  A  CHRISTMAS  SYMBOL. 
(10"'  S.  V.  69.) 

L.  P.  Q.  ASKS.  How  is  the  peacock  symbolic 
of  Christmas?  and  what  is  tfie  origin  of  the 
Christmas  peacock  pie?  I  doubt  if  the  pea- 
cock was  ever  regarded  as  symbolic  of  the 
Nativity.  In  Itome  the  peacock  came  into 
fashion  in  tlie  time  of  Cicero,  about  ".'i  b.*;., 
and  was  valued  not  merely  for  the  beauty  of 
its  ^^lumage,  but  as  an  e.xpensive  lu.\ury  to 
minister  to  the  pomp  and  pleasure  of  the 
emperor,  and  to  gratify  the  pride  of  the 
opulent  by  seeing  on  their  table  a  costly  dish 
beyond  the  means  of  most  men  to  procure.

Vitellius,  with  it«  2,iX)0  various  dishes  of  fish 


and.'j,000fowls,i9on  record,  Thecxtravsgimoe 
iif  Vitellius  is  notorious,  (iib^xin,  in  a  foot- 
note to  *  The  Decline  and  Full  of  the  Ronuui 
Empire,'  vol.  i.  chap.  iii.  p.  217.  says,  "He 
consumed  in  mere  eating  six  millioas  of  osr 
money  in  about  seven  months."  As  &  pair  ol 
peacocks  fifty  yeara  later  were  valued  at 
.'Ythens  at  1,000  drachraro,  or  32/.  of  >>"r 
money,  the  price  of  peacocks  at  Kome  wouM 
be  considerably  higher. 

Horace,  'Satires,'  Book  II.  Sat.  ii.  11.  £3 
remarks,  "If  a  peacock  were  nerved  up, 
could  not  prevent  your  eatinK  it,  rather  tn 
a  iien,  because  this  rare  biro  is  bought  wi' 
gold.'* 

Juvenal,  Satiie  i.  11.  140-13,  censures  tlio*e 
who  devour  whole  patrimonies  at  a  single 
course.    How  gross,  he  writes,  is  that  I- 
which   .sets   before  itself  whole   boars, 
suffering  from  the  untligested  peacock,  vivit^ 
the  bath  ! 

lu  England  the  peacock  was  very  commi 
in    the    middle  of    the    sixteenth    centu 
Venner  recommends  it  "  as  beat  to  l»e 
winter"  ('Viallectaad  Viam  L<)ngam 
and  Dr.  Mullet,  in  '  Health's  luiDn 
l(Jo'),  speaks  favourably  of  p*- 
aud  says  they  "should  be  wel'

Tlie  only  mention  of  Chri-^irri  jfacock 
pie  that  I  have  found  is  in  SVasinugton 
Irving's  '  Sketch- Book,'  published  in  1S2<5^ 
where  he  describes  "the  Cliristraas  dimi 
at  Bracebridge  Hall,  and  tlie  butler  brinj^ 
in  the  boar's  head  with  a  lemon  in  his  ioou| 
the  ancient  sirloin,  the  standard  of  old  Et

Hungary  and  Boliemia.  A  licrald  put  on 
tlio  banqueting  table  a  live  peacock,  in  order 
tliat  all  who  wished  to  make  any  vows  might 
do  so;  upon  whicli  "two  knightq  of  the

James  Watson. 
Fulkeatone. 

To  L.  P.  G.'s  queries  I  would  suggest 
the  following  answer.  The  peacock  is  in  no 
sense  symbolic  of  Christmas  :  but  Christmas 
among  Teutonic  nations  became  the  ciiief 
banqueting-day  in  the  year,  and  the  peacock 
Mra9  from  ilmuao  times  asHociated  with  the 
most  elaborate  of  banqueLs.  Compare 
Juvenal,  i.  143,  "Et  crurium  pavonem  in 
balnea  porta**,'"  with  Cicero,  'Ad.  Fam.'  ix. 
18,  20. 

Tlie  author  of  '  Domestic  Life  in  England ' 
(1835)  at  p.  34,  says  of  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury :  — 

"  Ainoug  the  f«n>ous  diahes  at  the  nioro  iiiletidid 
eot«rUininenu  was  the  '  ixMCOok  enkakyll  [as  lo 
the  nie»niii|;  of  this  lutier  word  I  cannot.  ha/.arJ  a 
guess],  the  receipt  fordressins  which  directed  Ihnt. 
'for  the  feast  ruyfti,  peacocks  shall  be  dight  in  this 
'manner.  Take,  and  Hay  oft'  the  akin  with  th« 
feathers,  tail,  and  the  neck  and  head  thereon,  then 
take  theikin,  and  all  the  feathera,  and  lay  it  on  tlio 
table  abroad,  and  strew  thereuu  ground  cummin  (a 
warm  scetl),  then  take  the  peacock,  and  roaat  iiini

and  take  and  aew  him  in  hia  ekin,  and  cild  ht< 
oonib,  and  «o  serve  hint  forth  with  the  la«t 
course.' " 

The  author  cited  does  not  give  the 
source  from  wliich  lie  derives  the  above 
quotation.  Presumably  it  is  of  fifteen th- 
century  origin,  with  the  spoiling  modernized. 

The  place  of  the  peacock  at  Ciiristmas 
banquets  is,  I  tliinlc,  at  preNent  occupied 
by  the  cygnet.       John  B.  vVAl^fE\VRI(JllT. 

Probably  there  is  no  ground  for  associat- 
ing the  (ieacock  with  Christmas  further  than 
that  it  was  an  expensive  dish,  and  therefore 
desirable  in  the  celebration  of  the  great 
Christian  festival.  Bej'ond  this,  the  peacock 
can  only  have  been  commemorative  of 
Christmas  because  of  the  supposed  incor- 
ruptibility uf  its  flesli,  and,  perliapa,  from  a 
little  more  enlightened  point  of  view,  of  its 
renewal  of    life    in    changing    annually  its 

Elumage.  In  folk-lore  the  superstitions  re- 
.ting  to  the  peacock — the  association  of  its 
cry  with  wet  and  cold  weather,  for  instance 
—are  not  necessarily,  perhaps,  relics  of  the 
reverence  in  which  the  bird  was  held, 


as  it  appertained  especially  to  Juno,  who 
was  borne  through  the  air  in  a  chariot 
by  this  means.  Identified  with  Juno,  the 
peacock,  however,  was  well  calculated  to 
be  a  terror  to  "  serpents  "  :  "By  his  voice  ho 
frightens  serpents,  and  drives  away  all 
venomous  animals,  so  that  they  dare  not  stay 
where  his  voice  is  often  heard  "  ('  Hortus 
Sanitatis,'  Bk.  III.  i^  03).  Fairholt  thinks 
that  it  was  adopted  as  an  emblem  of  llie 
resurrection  by  the  early  Christians,  because 
it  is  represented  on  Boman  coins  as  bearing 
tiie  einpre.ssos  up  to  heaven,  as  the  eagle  does 
the  emperors.  But  wliile  the  bird  does  uot 
occur  anywhere,  apparently,  in  ancient  art 
in  connexion  with  Christmas,  neither  di>es 
there  appear  to  be  any  ituiisputable  evidence 
of  its  association  in  that  respect  with  the 
resurrection.  As  an  emblem  of  immortality, 
because  of  the  presumed  incorruptibility  of 
its  llesh,  the  peacock  is  figured  on  the  cata- 
combs, thougli  not  so  frequently,  I  believe, 
in  that  emblematic  sense  a.s  the  dove.  The 
peacock  appears  in  more  than  one  instance 
in  association  with  tlie  palm-tree  ( t  the  tree 
of  life).  A  sarciiphagus  in  the  Bavenna 
^luseum  is  said  to  bear  a  peacock,  a  palm- 
tree,  and  the  Christ  monogram  in  juxta- 
position, and  in  the  British  .Museum  collec- 
tion of  Christian  rings  purchased  of  Mr. 
Uamilton  is  one  of  tlie  seventh  or  eighth 
century,  said  to  l>c  among  the  finest  known. 
It  is  an  oval  bloodstone,  with  a  palm-tree  in 
the  centre  ;  on  each  side  is  a  peacock,  and  it 
bears  the  in8criF>tioti  ANA:ST.\:ili:  T(JY

To  show  that  Coalchyih  is  really  A.S-  r/t<il/i

evidence  than  that  wiiich  Mr.  llegiiiald  Hlunt 
adduces  in  hi.s  *  U  and  book  of  CheLsea'  is 
desirable  as  to  chalk  having  been  lauded 
here  in  such  quantities  a.s  to  render  tlie 
existence  of  a  wharf  necessary.  This  ety- 
muiogy  certainly  Reems  the  moat  [>Iausible, 
and  there  may,  of  course,  have  been  some 
uao  for  the  chalk  lx!iyond  that  as  material 
towards  the  erect  ion  of  the  more  ancient  parts 
of  the  Old  Cliurch.  The  name  of  Chelsea  in 
one  form  or  another  certainly  existe<i  long 
before  the  tiu»e  — tlmt  of  Edward  II.— in 
which  anj-  record  nf  the  rectory  is  known  to

answer  your  desire,  which  is  conceived  in  such 
general  terms  :  if  you  could  point  out  some  stated

ine  a  sketch  of  your  narration,  I  ^terhaps  might  be 
able  to  suggest  or  explain  souio  things  that  are 
<;ome  but  imperfectly  to  your  kuowledge,  and  some 
anecdotes  might  occur  to  my  memory  relating  to 
domeatic  and  foreign  alTairs,  thatnre  curious,  and 
were  never  yet  made  public,  and  perhaps  not  proper 
to  be  pablifihed  yet,  jiarticularly  with  regard  to  the

of  my  relation,  and  the  ineasuren  tlint  were  pursued 
in  consequence  of  that  alteration  :  but  in  order  to

DeAA  ETOUGIt, 

1  cannot  forbear  any  longer  to  acknowto<lge  I  lie 
many  favours  from  you  lately ;  your  lost  woa  the 
Hih  of  this  month.  His  majeaty's  speedy  arrival 
among  his  ISritish  subjectji  is  very  desirable  and 
necessary,  whatever  may  l>e  the  chief  motive  for 
Jjia  making  hnaio.  Ah  to  .Spain,  1  have  from  tlie 
beginning  told  my  friends,  wJien  they  asked,  both 
in  town  and  country,  that  I  was  not  at  ail  appre- 
UcQBive  that  Spain  woufd  join  with  France  against 
U8  ;  for  (his  plain  reason,  hecause  it  could  not 
posHibly  I>e  l!io  )titor«Btof  the  i^paniarda  to  do  it ; 
for  should  the  vi«ws  of  the  French  take  place  in 
making  a  line  of  farts  from  the  MissiKippi  to  i.'anada, 
and  of  heing  maRtors  of  the  whole  of  that  extent  of 
country,  Peru  and  Mcxicu,  and  Florida,  would  he 
in  more  danger  from  them  than  the  Uritish  settle- 
flients  in  America. 

Mr.  I'owie  han  made  me  a  visit  for  a  few  days, 
and  communicated  to  rue  your  two  piecea  relating 
to  my  brother  and  LonI  IJnlingtiroke.  and  I  think  you 
-jfo  great  justice  to  them  both  in  their  very  diifereut 
and  opjiosite  charoclent,  but  you  will  give  me  leave 
to  add  with  respect  to  Jord  Orford,  tliere  are 
several  mistakes  and  misinformations,  of  which  1 
nm  jierauaded  1  could  convince  you,  by  conversa- 
tion,  but  t»y  observations  are  not  pro|)er  for  a 
letter.  Of  this  more  fully  when  I  see  you,  but 
when  tlirit  will  be  I  can't  yet  tell. 

I  aru  over  most  afrectionatcly  yours,  Ac. 

Neitfier  of  the  above  letters  appears  in 
the  index  volurue  to  Mrs.  Toynbee's  valu- 
able work.  No  letter  to  Dr.  Birch  earlier 
than  1758  appears  in  the  'Li-it  of  Corre- 
spoiirieiitu,'  and  no  letter  at  all  is  itidexed  as 
addressed  to  the  llev.  H.  Etough. 


I  should  like  to  point  oat  that  in  }ier 
note  3,  vol.  xiii.  p.  240,  Mrs.  Toynbee  is 
iu  error  in  calling  the  Earl  of  Strath-

those  maps  very  carefully  ;  but  I  cannot  now 
spare  tirae  to  verify  it.  ify  impression  is 
tliat  the  name  waa  applied  to  a  stnall  en-

a  Pkd  or  Pighld  of  ground,  a  little  c/ase,

'Notitia  Historica,'  1824,  at  p.  137.  a  "pick 
of  land"  is  stated  to  be  "a  par(>el  of  land 
that  runs  into  a  corner."  This  ilefiuUton  is 
not  satisfactory.  The  i  in  ptkit  would  bo 
sounded  long,  ivs  in  jiike,  and  prolxably  also 
in  pii'ttl,  which  occurs  in  the  old  d«*«Ml  j+ct  out

times  probably  have  the  same  sound  as  I'lXv, 
for  we  get  "  right"  from  7tctuA,  and  Wight 
(the  isle)  from  Vectis,  and  some  of  the  old 
chronicles  wrote  Pights  for  the  Pict-s  (Gibson's 
'  Camden,'  pp.  1081-6).  J't'j/tt  was  also  an  oW

*'S.(.\mbok":  its  Projjusciatios  (10«*  S. 
iv.  204,  332.  512;  v.  35,  02).— I  am  sorry  to 
prolong  this  corre^spondence,  but  1  really 
must  protest  aeainst  the  foolish  piece  of 
"  popular  etymology "  quoted  at  tlie  last 
reference  from  Keane's  *  Boer  States.'  The 
initial  sound  of  ijumfjok  varies  in  different 
Dutch  dialects  —  one  meets  with  at  least 
three  forms,  *i>tmbok,  tjambok,  iiuubok — but 
tho    final    k    is   never  absent,  so  it  cannot 

I)09sibly  be  evolved  from  mmbn.  Its  real 
iist»)ry  is  perfectly  well  known.  The  three 
Dutch  spellings  given  above  correspond 
almost  exactly  with  the  Malayan  tjixjmk, 
Javanese  mnibuk,  Jtc.,  and  these  Malayo- 
Javaneso  equivalents  do  not  mean  "buffalo." 
but  have  the  same  sense  as  their  Duten 
derivativfts,  i.e.,  *•  whip."  How  can  one 
doubt  ?  I  need  only  add  that  the  Malayo- 
Javanese  etymology  is  that  whicli  has 
received  the  hallmark  of  Prof.  Skeat's 
approval.  Jas.  Platt,  Jun. 

"Jamiw"  Univehsitv  (lO^-S.  v.  47,  02).— 
Another  claimant  to  this  designation  uiight 
be  "King  James's  College  at  Clielsey,"  of 
whicli  there  i«  a  long  account,  with  an  illus- 
tration, in  Faulkner's  '  History  of  Chelsea,' 
ed.  1829  ii.  218-34.  This  institution  was 
projected  by  Dr.  Matthew  Sutcliffe.  Dean  of 
Ezetor  (of  whom  there  is  a  memoir  in 
•p.X.B.'),  in  the  early  part  of  the  reign  of 
King  James  I.,  and  wa.s  intended  as  a  College 
for  tho  study  of  polemical  divinity.  The  King 
laid  the  first  stone  of  the  edifice  8  May, 
I<X)t»,  and  the  charter  of  incorporation  was 
granted  on  the  same  day  in  tno  following 
year.  Notwitlistanding  royal  and  episcopsd 
patronage,  it  did  not  prove  a  success,  and  it 
Kradually  died  of  inanition.  In  lfi7()  the 
buUdiog  was  granted  to  tiie  Royal  Society,  1 


wiiich  never  made  use  of  it ;  and  five  years 
later  it  was  again  transferred  to  the  Crown, 
and  the  Royal  Hospital  was  partially  erected 
on  the  site.  W.  F.  Prideacx. 

Wn.UAM   Blake    and   S.   T.    Coleridcb 

(10"'  S.  V.  80).— Mr.  Dobell  will  find  in  an 
interesting  letter  to  Miss  Wordsworth,  printed 
in  H.  Crabb  Robinson's  '  Diary  "  (vol.  ii. 
p.  32.0),  a  statement  by  the  diarist  that 
"  Coleridge  has  visited  Blake,  and  I  am  told 
talks  finely  about  him." 

Not  having  read  the  article  to  which 
reference  is  made,  I  may  be  thought 
hazardous  in  risklug  an  opinion  as  to  its 
authorship ;  but  as  Crabb  Robinson  was 
iiititiiatoly  connected  with  University  College, 
and  had  previously — in  1810 -written  a  paper 
on  Blake  for  a  German  magazine,  it  is  just 
possible  that  the  article  in  question,  in  The 
Lonthn  Univcraitij  Maga.ine,  may  have  beea 
contributed  by  him.  S.  Butteeworth. 

HAIR-PoWDERINr.  CL0.SET3  (10"'  S.  iv.  349, 
417. 4.'}3  ;  V.  57,  05).— The  replies  kindly  made 
to  my  query  have  not,  except  in  one  in- 
stance, touched  the  arrangement  attributed 
to  tlie  closet  in  Kew  Palace.  The  closets  said 
by  correspondents  to  have  been  used  for 
powdering  appear  to  have  been  simply  dress- 
ing-rooms such  as  at  the  present  day  accom- 
pany bedrooms  in  liouses  of  even  moderate 
capacity  ;  or  perhaps  the  old  closets  referred 
to  were  peculiar  only  in  their  diminutive- 
ness  It  is  not  shown  that  there  was  any 
method  of  powdering  the  hair  while  at  the 
same  time  the  dress  was  protected  from  the 
powder,  excepting  the  arrangement  described 
at  the  secona  reference,  where  the  head  was 
thrust  out  between  curtains,  behind  which 
was  placed  the  subject  of  the  toilet. 

At  Kew,  however,  it  is  told  tliat  a  small 
-sash- window  set  in  a  solid  partition  was  used, 
tlie  operator  at  one  side,  Iho  operatfd  on  at 
tho  other,  the  head,  or  rather  the  neck,  being

Cricket,  I  think  he  is  mistaken.  I  remember 
the  Ant  and  the  Beo,  and  occasionally 
travelled  by  them  ;  but  this  cannot  have 
been  no  earlj'  as  1847.  Speaking  from 
memory  only,  I  tliink  tlio  halfpenny  boats 
were  ruunint;  at  all  events  as  late  as  1B54.

made,  this  lane— gloomy,  narrt)W,  dark,  tlie 
tMy  beiuK  vi«il)le  only  here  and  there  between 
tlje  back*  of  tall  tiouses— led  down  to  the 
muddy  foreshore  of  the  Thamen.  Oa  the 
western  «ide  was  tlie  brick  boundary  of  the 
Adelplii  Arches.  At  the  water's  edge  a  string 
of  bargos  with  connecting  gangways  k-il  on 
to  the  eiazy  mer  from  wiiioh  the  halfi)6nny 
boatu  gallantly  net  off  for  London  Bridge. 
An  old  volume  of  TUe  lllHstrated  L'tiulm 
Xt'Wi  in  my  possession  contains  a  couple  of 
drawings  or  the  explosion  of  the  Cricket,  M 
menliontsiJ  by  Dn.  HuiSHKiKr.D  ;  there  is  also 
an  account  of  tiio  inquest,  at  which  it  was 
statexl  that  the  engineer  used  t^>  wedge  down 
the  safety  valve  willi  a  baton  of  wood  !  But 
this  accident  <iid  not  terminate  the  heroic 
halfpenny  nervice  in  1847,  as  stated  by  Dr. 
BuustiPiKLU,  although  the  accident  may  of 
course  have  interrupted  it.  The  service  was 
certainly  a  going  concern  (Jupiter  and  Venus 
being  n.-iines  of  two  of  the  boats)  at  least  ten 
P.mars  later,  as  I  frequently,  as  a  boy  with 
heart  aglow,  made  the  water  journey  about 
1857,  [lerhaps  a  littlo  later.  1  saw  a  day  or 
two  ago  that  tlie  iron  post  and  the  top  hinge 
of  th«  gate  that  gave  entrance  to  the  lane 
from  the  Strand  still  cling  to  the  wall  of  the 
shop  immediately  west  of  the  Cecil  Hotel. 

A  yard  or  two  to  the  east  (or  the  west ')  of 
the  steatnboat  pier  in  question  was  another 
barge,  m»)ored  hi  front  of  "  The  Fox  under 
tlie  Hill."  "The  Fox"  was  a  waterside 
puhliohouse,  on  the  floating  barge  moored 
in  front  of  which  were  tables  and  benches 
At  which  tired  man  might  recuixjrate.  In 
the  fifties  I  was  a  "  reatJing  boy  at  a  large 
printing  oflice  in  the  neighbourhood,  and  in 
Mummer-timo  I  often  rlined  on  tike  floating 
palace  — happily  if  not  sunjptuously  !  It  was 
to  "The  Fox"  that  the  boy  Dickens  must 
have  picked  his  slens  by  way  of  tlie  foreshore 
at  low  tide  from  the  blacking  warehou.se  in 
llungerford  Market  (now  Charing  Cross 
Station)  ;  for  ho  describes  the  resort  and  its 
customors  in  one  of  his  works  (possibly  in 

hi9  '.Skfifrhns'?). 


Immediately  to  the  west;  of  Ivy  Lane  still, 
of  course,  remain  the  Adelplii  Arches— often 
called  the  Dark  Arches,  The  principal  arch 
yawns  off  South  Strand  (Durham  Street, 
near  Dent's  clock  and  opposite  Bedford 
Street).  Through  these  arches,  in  pre  Em- 
bankment days,  one  could  reach  the  river. 
I  had  not  entered  them  for  nearly  fifty 
years,  but  looked  through  them  when  passing 
the  other  day.  1  found  that  the  western 
arch,  which  originally  opene<l  into  a  side 
street,  was  bricked  up  ;  but  one  could  come 
in  view  of  the  Embankment,  though  there 
was  uo  through  way.

at  the  out«et  by  Prof.  Raleigh,  concerning  *'  the

true  :  it  is  but  an  incident  in  a  world-drama  which 
"  uuroils  its  VKMt  llierne  leiaurely,  obaervioK  none  of

tiie  better  for  a  preface  of  the  Bort  now  given, 
which  enables  him  to  judge  of  Hakluyte  voyages 
as  a  consistent  and  homogeneous  whole,  and  not  as 
a  leriea  of  more  or  loss  disuoiinec-ted  fragments.

VROVIKCIAL  BOOKSELLERS. 
A  PURPOSE  of  my  own  recently  led  me  to 
examine  a  collection  of  more  liian  2,000 
volumes  of  pampliletB.  So  many  of  litem 
ix>re  the  namen  of  booksellers  at  other  places 
than  London,  Oxford,  and  Cambridge,  that 
I  made  brief  not«3  of  tliem,  shown  on  the 
subjoined  li.st.  It  has  its  value  as  evidence 
of  the  literary  condition  of  the  provinces, 
cliicfly  in  the  eighteenth  century.  I  am 
conHcious  that  I  did  not  gather  all  that  I 
raipht  have  <lone,  and  the  local  bibliograpliiea 
would  easily  Hupply  many  more.  The  few 
nainex  of  1633  are  taken  from  'DocumenUi 
relating  to  VV.  Prynne,'  Camd.  Soc.,  p.  60.

MR.    BRADLEY'S    'HIGHWAYS    AND 

BYWA\.S    IN    SOUTH    WALES.' 
Tni3    very    entertaining    and     attractive 
voluruo,  altliough    publisUed  more  than  two 

J.'eari  ago,  h&s  oiuy  lately  come  into  my 
latids-  It  would  he  a  belated  work  of  aupei- 
erogation  to  praise  it  and  its  numerous 
pretty  illustrations  by  Mr.  F.  L  Griggs, 
The  parts  of  the  country  least  well  known 
to  mo  peraonally— namely,  the  border-land  of 
lladnor-ihire,  evidently  familiar  ground  to 
Mr.  Uriidley,  and  Pembrokeshire,  where  he 
putH  himself  to  a  great  extent  under  the 
guidance  of  George  Owen,  of  Henlly.s,  antl 
ids  descendant  Dr.  Henry  Owen— are  excel- 
lently (lone.  The  object  of  this  note  is  to 
point  out  certain  deScienciea  which  impair 
the  value  of  the  work  as  a  trustworthy 
description  of  the  land  and  its  people  at  the 
commencement  of  the  twentieth  century. 

There  h  an  obviou.<)  straining  after  a  light- 
ne.sM  of  touch  to  suit  the  supposed  ta.ste  of 
the  general  reader,  hut  at  the  same  time 
Mr,  iir.idley  hints  that  if  a  light  touch  is  his 
foible,  hi>i  forte  is  the  craftmanship  of  the 
man  who  thoroughly  knows  the  material 
lie  works  on.  Among  the  very  few  pre- 
decessors on  the  .same  ground  that  ho  singles 
out  for  mention.  Miss  Braddon  is  noticed 
(p  33),  and  censured  for  calling  Llandrindod, 
*•  LUndrysack,  and  Abbey  Cwnddr  Loch- 
jivithian,  arrangements  of  letters  that  would 
quite  imi>ossiblo  in  Wales  alone  perhaps 
"*»f  all  his  Majesty's  home  dominioii.s."  I 
iii'i^t  confess  that  Miss  Braddon  is  a  lifelong 
i.i<^nurite  of  mine,  and  a  tn  qwajut  to  this 


censure  on  a  writer  to  whom  I  owe  many 
hours  of  breathless  pleasure  may,  I  hope,  be 
pardoned   me.     For  inaccuracy  in  tho  matter 
uf  Welsh   words  and  place  names  is  a  very 
disfiguring  blot  on  Mr.  Bradley's  own  work. 
I  pardon  his  "cowl"  for  auvl  ("  broth  "),  for 
Eng.  oir  comes  nearer  in  sound   to  Welsh  an 
than  Eng.  aw  does.      But  that  excuse  does 
not  cover   "cause  bobl "    (p.   51),    for    boll 
ipold)  means  "people,'  not  "  toasted j"  and 
"cheese"  is  aiws,  not  "cause."    Again,  lite 
"Traitor    of     Buillh"     is    not    "Braddwr 
Boallt,"  but  JJrudtfr  B.  (p.  61).     Indeed,  the 
writer  seems  to  have   been  unable  to  grasp, 
the  simple  fact  of    Welsh    phonology    that 
W.  d  is  like  Eng.  d,  but  that  W.  dd  is  always 
.sounded  like  Eng.    th    iti   "  tliis."     And   so, 
while  iraf/jcr  is  misspelt  "braddwr,"  Lland- 
dewi  is,   by   way   of  recompense,  invariably 
misspelt  Llandewi.     Another  famous  place- 
name,    Pontrliydfendigeid     (Bridge    of    the 
Blessed  Ford),  is  disguised,  wherever    men- 
tioned, under  the  "  impossible  arrangement 
of  letters,"  Pontrliydfendigaiad  (pp.  224.  22r>). 
Another  misspelling  that  grates  on  my  own 
ears    is    Castell    Cerrig    CcQTiin    (lit.    Leek 
Stones  Castle)   for  Castell    Carreg    Cennen 
(Castle  of  Cenneu   Hack).     I   am  not  aure 
that  cmrerr,  meaning  rock,  is  as  universally 
diffused   throughout  Wales  as  it  is  in  the 
sense  of  "stone."     I  have  a  suspicion  that  ib 
is    confined    mainly    to     the     "Goidhelic" 
districts.     At  all  events,  it  is  very  common 
in  that  sense  in  the  immediate   neighbour- 
hood of  Carreg  Cennen,  e.;/.,  Carreg  Amau, 
Carreg   Gwenluis,   Carreg   Sawddo    (cf.    the 
Irish   Carrick   Fergus,  Carrick  onSuir,  Ac). 
Tliat  will  sutKce,  I  think,  in  championship  of 
Miss  Braddon,  and  tho  numerous  mistakes  of 
this  nature  can  easily  be  rectified  in  future 
editions. 

But  there  is  a  more  organic  fault  in  the 
work,  which  I  am  afraid  is  beyond  reach  of 
surgery  or  medicine,  viz.,  the  very  slipshod 
treatment  of  Welsh  superstitions  and  folk- 
lore The  famou.s  tJilo  of  Owen  Lawgocli 
and  his  warriors,  for  instance,  who  lie  asleeji 
in  Ogof  y  Ddinas,  near  Llandybie,  has  been 
recently  investigated  by  Prof.  Rhys  in  his 
'Welsh  Folk-lore.'  and  that  skilled  student 
of  mediffjval  Welsh  manuscripts  nn<l  genea- 
logies, Mr.  Edward  Owen,  and  .Mr.  Llewelyn 
Williams  have  had  occasion  to  deal  with  it 
in  connexion  with  their  elaborate  efforts  to 
iiientify  Froissart's  Yueiti  do  Galtes.  All 
this  seems  to  have  been  more  or  less  dimly 
known  to  Mr.  Bradley,  but  he  preferred  to 
set  down  an  absolutely  impossible  version  of 
the  tale,  as  ho  "  heard  it  told  in  Cardigan- 
ahire."   Ogor  Dinaa  (should  b©  Ogo'c  DdvoAst

is  not  Llandybie  Welsfj  at  all,  for  the 
iiiiiabitantH  never  drop  the  final  /  in  oqof. 
The  spot  ia  known  in  liio  neip;hbourhoofi  as 
Ogof  y  Ddina?,  Ogof  Cilyryclien,  or  O^of 
Llandybie,  but  never  Ogo'r  DcJinas,  and  it  is 
not  "  on  the  bank8  of  the  Cenniii  "  (Uennen). 
Nor  coulii  the  Cardiganshire  "  Dafydd  of 
IJettws  Bledrws"  liave  ever  driven  his  cattle 
<Jown  south  through  Llandybie  on  tlieir  way 
to  London.  There  is  alno  a  Iegen<]ary  reason 
for  the  rock  not  being  on  the  bankn  of  the 
Cennen.  As  that  little  river  (which,  by  the 
way,  owes  mo^t  of  its  waters  in  slack  times 
to  a  contribution  from  the  Llwcliwr,  falling 
into  it  between  Carreg  Cennen  Castle  and 
the  ancient  Edwardian  munsion  — now  farm- 
house of  Cwrt  iJryn  y  Heirdd  (Uard'si  llill 
Court)  approaches  the  Vale  of  Llandybie,  it 
turns  abruptly  northwards  '"against  the 
sun,"  having  been  doomed  so  t<j  do  by  a 
witch.  As  the  only  instance  of  that  par- 
ticular superstition  1  have  been  able  to 
discover  in  Wales,  it  is  perhaps  worth 
noting. 

1  need  not  repeat  the  cave  h-cend,  but 
there  are  two  points  in  it  whicli  have,  I 
think,  hitherto  escafted  notice.  The  first  is 
that  at  Dyllgocil  Ucha'  once  lived  an  Owen, 
who  was  the  owner  of  the  land  whicli  is  now 
the  bed  of  Llyidlech  Owen  lake  ;  that  lie  was 
on  intimate  terms  with  the  daughter  of  a 
gentleman  named  Arthur  who  lived  at 
IVntycnstell  ;  and  that  Owen  Lawgocli  of 
Cilyrychen  Cave,  Craig  y  Ddinas,  wft.s  a  son 
of  theirs.  (See  Job  Davies's  paper  on  Llyn- 
llech  Owen  in  )'  Diwyijitcr  of  ifuly,  1803.) 
The  other  point  is  that  in  181,'}  ten  liumaii 
skeletons  were  found  by  the  limestOTie  quarry- 
men  in  the  same  rock— it  is  not  quite  clear 
whether  in  a  natural  cave  or  in  an  arti- 
ficially excavated  one.  When  L.  L.  Dillwyn, 
BOme  weeks  after  the  find,  visiter!  the  spot, 
the  cave  had  been  destroyed,  and  the  ronaains 
■liad  disappeared  — buried,  according  to  what 
'he  was  told,  in  Llandeilo  t'hurcliyard.  (See 
■his  'History  of  Swansea.')  One  of  the  skulls, 
however,  seems  to  have  l«?en  preserved,  and 
it  is  now,  I  believe,  at  Oxford.  I  tio  not 
•know  whether  the  exact  spot  of  the  find  was 
in  Llandeilo  or  Llandybie  parish  ;  it  was 
certainly  considerably  nearer  the  latter  than 
the  former  parish  church.  As,  according  to 
•the  contemjxnary  iiccount,  "all  the  bones 
were  of  a  larger  calibre  tiian  those  of  the 
present  day,  and  t!^e  skulls  were  of  a  very 
large  size  and  thicknesM,"  it  is  highly  pro- 
bable that  these  remains  were  secretly 
smuggled  into  rather  than  regularly  buried 
in  any  churchyanl,  Some  forty  years  ago

century,  and  tiieir  Huccessors  and  copyists, 
have  peruisted  in  identifying  the  pillory 
with  the  Old  English  hitl»jnn(i.  Reiidiold 
Bchmid  in  liijt  'Oesetzo  der  Angelsachsien  '

this  contention.  At  any  rate,  evidence  is  stilT 
lacking  of  the  pillory  being  used  in  England 
before  the  CoJiquest. 

On  the  inquisition  taken  20  Jan,,  127.'j,  for 
the  wapentake  of  Ba.ssetlaw,  Notts  ('Rotuli 
Uundredorum,'  1818,  ii.  302  b),  the  jury 
found  : — 

"Quod  Prior  de  Blid*  [Rlyth]  habet  furcao, 
tiimberelhim.  pillory,  infanifentheF,  asaisam  panis

I(oger'.s  charter  (dated  1088)  ia  printed  in 
Dugdale'.s  '  .Monasticoa '  (1823),  iv.  623;  the 
pertinent  words  are  :  — 

"Dedi  ]irii:(iic(ia  niosiachia  oninoa  digiiilatea  rjuas

cum  rIII^  libertatibus,  ut  tunc  tomporis  lencbam

The  "other  liberties  "  which  "  I  then  held  of 
the  king"  necessarily  involved  the  power  of 

fiunisliiiig  trespassers  in  the  appropriate 
nnns  In  1329  the  abbot  of  Crowland  was 
summoned  before  Geoffrey  !e  Scrope  ami  liia 
fellows  to  answer  the  king  on  a  plea  of  quo 
\eriranio  with  regard  to  the  market  and  juris- 
tlictions  which  he  exercised  in  liis  manor  of 
Wellingborough,  Northamptonshire.  Part  of 
his  reply  ('Placita  de  Quo  Wararito,'  1818, 
518  b)  may  bo  translated,  as  it  doubtless  ex- 
presses the  old  distinction  between  the  pillory 
and  the  lumbrcl  :— 
"The  abbot  says  that    ho    has    viow    of   frank 

tiledf^c  in  his  manor to  wiiieh  view  pertains  the 
Leepuig  of  the  ossiso  of  broad  and  nle.  And  since 
ihe  aforesaid  tumbrel  and  pillory  were  {)rovlded 
(iiivtnla)  for  this  end,  that  transKressors  of  the 
aforesaid  assise  be  corporally  punished,  to  wit, 
by  the  aforesaid  tumbrel  for  breach  of  the  assise  of 
afo,  and  by  the  aforesaid  ])iHory  for  non-observance 
of  the  assise  of  bread.  And  it  is  by  that  warrant 
that  he  claims  the  aforesaid  judiciary  instruuienta 
{jwUcialia),  for  the  legal  punishment  of  auch  trana- 
Kressors  according  to  the  law  and  cufltoni  of  the 
realm  of  England. ' 

I  am  sure  Dr.  Murray  will  bo  glad  to  hear 
of  earlier  instances  of  the  word,  and  that 
he  will  also  be  gla<l  to  know  when  tins  com- 
mon law  punishment  finally  came  to  an  end 
in  the  con.servative  l'nite<l  States.  In 
'  N.  k  Q.'  for  10  July,  1875  (S"-  S.  U.  30),  is  a 
note  in  which  Oa-sto^  de  3ernkval, 
writing  from  Philadelphia,  says  :  — 

"  There  is  one  State  in  America  which  still 
retains  the  pillory,  the  whippinjctKist,  imprison- 
ment fur  debt,  and  perhaps  Iho  duokingstool 

The  Stale  of  Delaware is  the  one  alluded   to. 

Any  one  who  wishes  to  see  the  whippin|{-i>o9t  in 
active  use  can  have  that  privilege  accorded  to  him 
by  the  high  sheriff  of  any  one  of  the  three  oouutie*

Ch.vrino  Cnoss  :  Bayswater.  —  In  the 
review  of  Mr.  Holdeii  MacMicliael's  excellent 
'Story  of  ChariHg  Crosa  and  iu  Immediate 
Neigliboarhooil '  which  appeared  ante,  p.  97, 
in 'm  noted  that  "Mr.  MacMichael  dismisses 
the  derivation  [of  Charing  Ct'O'ii'^]  from  c/in-e 
rehm  with  I'rof.  Skeat'i  comment  tliat  it  is 
'  too  funny  to  be  peniiciou.s. '"  At  8"'  S.  vi. 
204  Prop.  Ske.^t  quotes  thi^i  derivation  from 
ftanipiion's  'Medii  .Evi  Kalendaria,'  1841, 
and  adds:  "I  believe  thi"!  delicious  piece 
of  humbug  is  still  admired."  Quit«  so,  for 
at  a  public  dinner  which  I  attended  a  few 
months  ago  a  popular  niomberof  Parliamont, 
iti  propoying  the  health  of  Queen  Alexandra, 
compared  Her  Majesty  witli  her  predecessor 
<.iueeti  Eleanor  of  Castile,  w^ith  regard  to  tho 
position  which  they  bath  Ijeld  in  ihe  hearts 
of  iheir  people,  antl observed,  with  Hiberjiian 
exuberance:  "Not  a  cabman  passes  the 
Btatue  of  King  Ciiarles  but  ho  recalls  the 
cfitre  reine  after  whom  Charing  Cross  was 
named."  It  is  ohviou!*,  therefore,  that,  in  the 
intereatg  of  after-dinner  oratory,  it  will  not 
do  to  extingui>ih  thiii  attractive  legend,  lift 
fir.Ht  appearance  dates,  I  believe,  from  a 
paper  in  I'he  Geutlcin>t7is  M<i</a:ine  ior  Iftli, 
jjart  i.  p.  iii,  in  whicli  a  suggestion  is  made, 
"in  reference  to  tho  fond  epithets  usually 
applied  to  the  first  Edward's  beloved  Queen, 
and  to  the  then  prevalency  of  the  i'rencli 
language."  that  "  the  conjectural  reading 
' Chi'' ro  Hey ne'"  should  be  substituted  for 
*'  Chariug  Cross." 

For  another  widespread  error  'X.  »tQ.,'  I 
fancy,  is  responsible.  This  is  tho  statement 
that  IJayswater.  whicti  was  formerly  known 
fts  "  Bayards  Watering,"  is  a  corruption  of 
"  Baynard's  Watering."  This  notion  seems 
to  have  originated  with  an  esteemed  corro- 
Bpondent,  E  S.  (the  late  Edward  Srairke, 
F-S  A.),  in  a  paper  contribntcd  by  him  to 
1"  S.  i.  102.  It  is  true  that  in  tho  Middlesex 
Domesday  we  find  that  a  certain  "  Baini- 
ardus"  held  three  hides  of  the  Abbot  of 
Westminster,  "in  villa  ubi  sedet  ivcclesia 
Sancti  Petri."'  but  there  is  not  a  scrap  of 
tjvideijce  to  show  that  tliis  land  was  situated 
in  or  near  the  modern  Bayswater,  or  that 
the  Domeaday  tenant  was  in  any  way 
connected  witli  that  locality.

Charino  and  CuARiKa  Cross.— I  suppose 
that  the  faronrite  "  derivation  "of  Charing 


from  C/t^re  Srhu,  supposed  to  be  the  dear 
ijueen  of  Eilward  I.,  goe-s  near  to  l>eiiig  t)i« 
silliest  on  record.  It  is  seventeen  j'fars  ^inco 
it  was  pointed  out  that  "La  Charring  "  wa» 
mentioned  in  1252-3,  when  Eleanor  **  wa«  a 
little  girl  of  nine  years  old  "  ;  see  T"'  S.  viiL 
507.  But  the  strange  thing  is  that  every  on© 
seems  to  have  overlooked  the  fact  that  there  i^i 
another  Charing,  in  Kent,  to  tlio  nortli-west 
of  Ashford.  Now  (Sharing  in  Kotit  is  men- 
tiotied  in  an  A.-S.  charter  of  7D0,  in  which 
King  "Cenulph"  restored  sonin  land  at 
Charing  to  Christ  Cimrch,  Canterbury.  Of 
course,  the  spelling  Cenulph,  in  place  of 
Coenwulf,  is  enough  to  show  that  tlie  copy 
of  the  charter  is  late  ;  but  it  maj'  well  be  a 
copy  of  a  genuine  charter  of  tho  ciLibtli  oen- 
turj'.     The  lands    restored   are  >  a«

Menco  both  tho  Charings  were  alika  named 
from  the  Cerringas  or  Ceorringas,  the  name 
of  a  tribe  or  family,  lit.  "  the  Ce^irrings,"  or

and  others  by  whom  it  is  reverenced  as  some-

year  by  Messrs.  K.  ii  T.  Washbourne,  of 
Paternoster  Row,  entitle*!  'The  History  of

a  building  whose  records  go  back  as  far  as 
the  latter  portion  of  (Jliarles  l.'s  roigii.

General  DArblay,  the  Fronch  refugee,  in  the

Umar    Kiiayvam  :    A   Parallel.— I   have 
just  come  across  an  amusing  parallel  to  the 
quatrain    which     FitzQerald     rendered     a-s 
follows  :  — 
All,  witli  lliB  Grane  my  fAdiiifi;  Life  provide, 
And  wb«h  my  Itotly  wlience  the  Life  has  died, 
And  in  a  Windingsheet  uf  Vine-leaf  wrapt, 
Uo  bury  me  by  some  sweet  Garden-side. 

The  follow'ing  modern  Persian  epigram  was 
communicated  to  me  orally  by  a  native  of 
Cashmere.  It  is  a  skit  up<jn  the  fondness 
of  his  countrymen  for  the  "cup  which 
cheers"  :—

The  corre«!X)ndeuce  with   FitzGerald  is  so

Add  wash  my  \\<v\y  wbence  the  Life  has  died,

Doubtful  PKONUNrrATioNS.— Is  there  any 
acceptfvd  standard  of  correctness  as  to  the 
pronunciation  of  the  following  words  ?  Mifth, 
wlijcli  most  people,  I  think,  prouounco  as  nutli^ 
riming  with  smith,  is  often  heard  at  Oxford 
and  elsewhere  as  meith,  riming  with  bhihe. 
In  the  'Oxford  Essays,'  1856,  Max  MuUer 
»p©lt  the  word  mythe,  wliicli  he  afterwards 
abandoned  for  the' customary  orthography. 

The  obsole-scenb  wordri  (roth,  and  wrntk, 
generally  pronounced  aa  riming  with  froth, 
become  in  the  mouths  of  many  speakers 
troath,  and  tiryoalh,  so  as  to  rime  with  Ijoth. 

Quite  recently  I  heard  one  of  our  binhops, 
a  man  of  considerable  culture,  in  a  sermon 
speak  of  "  tho  Slo[r  of  Despoml,"  making 
douffh  rime  with  couffh.  This,  I  should  think, 
was  an  individual  eccentricity.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,      [lo-  a.  v.  Fn.  a*,  looe. 


PORTMAN  FAMILY. 

(10'"  S.  V.  48.) 

I  HAVE  been  interested  in  the  Portman 
faniily,  but  before  reading  tlie  query  of  K.  T. 
Iiad  nob  lueb  willi  any  aug^eiited  derivation 
of  the  name,  nor  evidence  of  early  history 
beyond  tliat  advanced  in  the  1G23  Visitation 
of  SoinerBebshirc,  as  printed  by  the  Harleian 
Society  in  tlieir  eleventh  volume,  p.  12C.  On 
that  evidence  Colli iiHOn  pi'obably  baaed  his 
remark  that  "  the  I'ortmans  apiiear  to  have 
been  a  family  of  note  in  Somersotahiro  in 
the  reign  of  Edward  I."  ('  Hist.  Somerset,' 
1791.  iii.  27-1). 

The  Visitation  first  records  two  John  Port- 
mans  (I  and  2)  mentioned  in  "a  deed  .sans 
date";  then  follow  Thomas  (3),  4  Ed.  1.(1270); 
Richard  (4),  3:>  Ed.  I.  (1307)  ;  John  (5),  no 
date;  Richard  fC),  12  Ed.  III.  (1338);  Wil- 
liam (7),  43  Ed.  III.  (1369);  and  the  next, 
William  (8),  is  llio  first  located  Fortman  ;  he 
had  lands  at  Tauriloii,  and  in  1406  or  1407 
made  a  gradt  to  Taunton  I'riory. 

From  this  point  vvo  liave  the  familv  cer- 
tainly seated  in  Someraetshire.  and  Walter 
(9)  assumes  a  notable  position  in  the  county 
by  his  marriage  with  the  landed  heiress 
(Jhristiaiiii  Orchard,  of  Orchanl,  two  miles 
south  of  Taunton.  The  heiress  died  in  1472 
<Inq.  p.in  Cfiristiana  Portman),  and  her  son 
John  I'ortman  (10)  inherited  her  estates. 
(The  space  between  the  dale  of  Walter's 
death,  1474,  and  that  of  his  father's  i^rant  to 
tlio  priory,  140(i-7,  seems  of  questionable 
lenotlh  )  John  Portman  (II)  appears  to  have 
liad  occupation  in  Loiidoti,  probably  in  the 
lenal  profession,  as  he  was  buried  in  the 
Middle  Temple  Church,  5  June,  1J21. 

Sir  William  Porttuan  (1-2).  son  of  John  (11), 
was  the  most  eminent  individual  of  his  family; 
and  aasucli  ho  has  his  place  in  the  '  Dictionary 
of  National  Biography.'  .\s  a  lawyer  ho  was 
a  serjoant-at  law  to  Henry  YHI.,  became  a 
juilge  in  l.'i47,  and  intho  reign  of  Alary,  ir>54. 
attained  the  elevation  of  Lord  Chief  Justice 
of  England  ;  integrity  and  independence  are 
attributed  to  him.  He  died  in  1557,  and  was 
buried  with  pomp  in  St.  Dunstan's,  Fleet 
Street,  Thomas  Smith,  in  his  *  History  of 
Marylebone'  (1833)  shows  that  Sir  William 
was  the  founder  of  the  Portman  estate  in 
hat  narish  ;  that  in  1533  lie  obtained  re- 
under  of  a  lease  of  part  of  Lille«tone  (now 


Sir  Henry  Portman  (13)  succeeded  to  the 
property,  but  of  him  there  is  only  the  record 
of  his  death  in  1590 ;  his  heir  was  iiLi  eldest 
son,  Sir  Hugh. 

Sir  Hugh  Portman  (14)  wa.s  twice  SheriflT 
of  Somersetshire,  in  1590-1  and  lGOO-1.  ^  Ho 
became  possessed  of  two  messuages  at  Kew, 
Surrey  (Inq.  p.m.),  one  of  these  being  a 
mansion  called  the  Dairj'  House,  which  had 
belonged  to  Robert  Dudley,  Earl  of  Leicester, 
tJie  favourite  of  Queen  Elizubeth.  As  this 
connexion  of  the  Portmans  with  Kew  has  not 
hitherto  been  recognized,  I  hope  to  make  it 
the  subject  of  a  note  in  a  future  number  of 
'N.  &  Q.'    Sir   Hugh  wa.s  knighted  by  the 

?[ueen  at  Kew  in  December,  IftDS.  From  the 
act  of  his  b'ling  a  second  time  electe<l  as 
sheriff  of  his  county  in  1600,  it  appears  that 
he  was  resident  at  Orchard  Portman  when 
ho  died  in  March.  1004,  and  in  the  cliurch 
there  doubtless  he  was  buried,  according  to 
the  directions  of  his  will  (at  Somerset  House). 
Ho  was  unmarried,  and  as  his  legal  heir  was 
his  brother  John  the  will  is  merely  a  matter 
of  legacies  to  sisters. 

Sir  John  Porbmau  (15),  Knight  and  Baronet, 
succeeded  to  tiie  estates  on  the  dealli  o(  Jiis 
brother  Sir    Hugh.      Ho    was    knighted    at 
Whitehall  3  Feb.,  1005,  was  Sheriff  of  Sotuor- 
setshire  1606-7,  and  was  created  firnt  baronet 
of  his  family  2.^  Nov.,  IGll.     He  died  4  Dec., 
1612,  leaving  four  sons,  all  of  whom  succeeded 
to  the  baronetcy  an<l  Orchard  Portman  with 
the  other  propertj',  but  only  the  fourth  lived 
to  maturity  and  left  issue.     Sir  Henry  (16) 
died   February,   1024  ;   Sir    John  (17)  died, 
aged  nineteen,   while  a  student  at  Oxford, 
23  Dec  ,  1024,  and   was  buried  in  the  chapol 
of  Wa.lham  College ;  Sir  Hugh  (18)  was  M.P. 
for  Taunton,  but  died  in   1(>30  at  the  age  of 
twenty-two.      There  is    extant   the  funeral 
sermon  (dated    1G30)   preached    in    Orchard 
Portman  Church  by   Humphrey  Sydenham, 
late  Fellow  of  Wadham  College;  the  yourie 
Sir  Hugh  is  represented  as  "most  hopefuli 
and  truly  noble,  the  great  loss  and  sorrow 
both  of  his  name  and  country." 

Sir  William  Portman  (19),  5lh  Rarouet, 
was  the  fourth  brother.  He  was  M.l*.  for 
Taunton,  but  as  a  Royalist  died  a  prisoner 
in  the  Tower  of  London,  September,  IC43 
(G.  E.  C,  *  Raronetage '),  his  age  uo  more 
than  thirty-five  (I  buried  at  Orchard). 

Sir  William  Portnnin  (2<).,  6th  Baronet, 
was  concerned  in  public  affairs,  and,  acting 
with  Lord  Lumley,  canlured  the  unforLunnto 
Duke  of  Monmouth  atler  ihc^   ix)utof  Sedge-

he  died  prematurely  at  Orchurd  Portraan, 
SO  Marcli,  1690,  Having  no  i.Hsuo,  he  left  tho 
estates  to  liiij  iiepliew  Henry  Seymour 
(d.  $p.  172fi)  for  life,  with  remainder  to  Iti* 
cousin  William  Berkeley,  who  assumed  the 
name  and  armi  nf  Portman,  now  borne  hj' 
hitt  deacendants,  and  wliose  grandson  Edward 
Berkeley  Purlman  was  created  Baron  in  1837, 
and  ViHCOuiit  in  1873  Thus  the  elder  line 
of  J^)rtman,  >vliich  died  out  in  K'90,  had 
numbered  twenty  chiefH,  and,  as  there  were 
brother  heirs,  counted  «iixteen  generations. 

I  regret  to  add,  a.<)  re<3ult  of  inquiry',  that 
there  are  no  Portman  tombs  or  memorialM  of 
any  kind  in  Orchard  Portman  Church,  and 
that  the  church,  wliicli  was  Norman.  yfiA 
more  or  lesa  rebuilt  Home  fifty  years  back. 
'Phi's  is  to  be  deplored,  for  liad  the  reparation 
been  made  a  generation  later,  no  doubt  the 
fate  of  the  cliurch  woul<l  have  l>een  happier. 
The  Norman  porch  alone  remains.  The 
luanaion.  loo,  hai  been  eutirely  demolislie<i, 
and  besides  the  church  porch  there  is  left 
of  the  original  building  only  a  little  old 
rectory.  L«:»id  Portmau'v  chief  seat  is  now 
Bryanston,  DoriteL  W.  L.  llurroN. 


Sir  GrLDERT  Pjckeriso,  of  Titciimarsu 
(10"*  S  V.82). — Since  reading  these  interesting 
notes  I  have  been  looking  up  some  pafiers 
on  .John  Dryden  which  apeared  in  Otla 
Podridii,  a  now  defunct  Northamptonshire 
magazine  in  1888.  These  papers  are  five  in 
number,  and  were  printe<l  in  the  issues  from 
•luly  to  November,  being  written  by  Mr. 
K.  B.  Wallis,  one  of  the  editors  of  the 
iMAgaxine.  In  tracing  the  descent  of  Dryden 
Mr.  Wallis  states  that  Erasmus  Dryden 
married  Mary  Pickering  at  Ptilon,  Northamp- 
tonshire, OH  21  October,  1630,  the  name  being 
spelt  "  Dreydon  "  in  the  register.

&[r.  Wallia  in  the  following  paragraph 
throws  aome  additional  light  on  the  inscrip- 
tion to  the  memory  of  Mary  Pickering's 
father,  as  recorde<l  by  Me.  Ut'PEKT  Jo.vits:  —

scabbard  waa  nrovidcd  for  Henry  VII.'s  ■word  in 
1034.  Iz*(;ke  (u  well-credited  authority)  seems  to 
intimate  that  a  new  cop  of  maintenance  was  also 
made  at  the  same  time  ;  but,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
the  former  was  merely  covered  with  now  em- 
broidery!  velvet.  Tho  Act  Book  (May  13,  lG-24)

over, that  the  date,  1704,  was  long  after  tlio 
general  abolition  of  signs,  which  were  re- 
tained, however,  especially  by  tobacconista

UrEN-AtR  Pulpits  (10"'  S.  iv.  4.30  ;  v.  53, 
:9C) — The  fine  I^ector's  pulpit  in  the  refec- 
tory at  Chester  Cathedral  was  simply  alluded 
to  {fintc,  p.  .Vi)  as  occupying  much  the  aarae 
relative  position  to  its  surroundings  as  the 
oft  called,  but  wrongly  termed  open-air 
puljnt  at  Shrowisbury  Abbey  originally  did 
to  its  own  refectorj',  prior  to  the  latter'a  de- 
struction. ilR.  G.  W.  Uaswell  has  well 
taken  exception  to  the  remark  that  at 
•ChcHter  tlie  pulpit  is  approached  from  the 
■cloisters,  although  it  has,  at  times,  Ijeen  re- 
presented as  so  doing.  For  instance,  a 
cutting  from  Church  Beth  before  me  says  :— 

"The  Kirly  Kngliah  |iuliiit  illustrated  on  this

the  Calhedrfcl  buitdiug,  and  it  eiitored  from  tlie 
•oloittera." 

But  I  allow  that  the  more  accurate  descrip- 
tion is  that  it  is  approached  by  an  arcaded 
paxsage,  one  side  of  which  opens  out,  by  a 
series  of  bays,  into  the  refectory  itaelf— these 
unitedly  forming  an  exceptionally  beautiful

one  word  •  bat  the  vamping  horn,  of  which 
an  example  still  remains  in  Charing  Church, 
Kent,  is  nimply  a  big  speaking  trumpet.  The 
vicar  of  Charing  informs  me  tiiat  it  was  used 
in  the  choir,  that  some  clioira  liad  four  of 
them,  and  that  they  were  used  for  support- 
ing the  singing.  Ihe  vampers,  instead  of 
Hinging  the  words,  kept  up  an  accompani- 
ment of  '•  pom-pom,"  and  to  some  extent 
took  the  place  now  occupied  by  the  organ. 
In  a  magazine  cutting  preserved  at  Charing 
the  vamping  horn  is  illustrated.

were  never  intended.  I  was  one  of  the

years,  but  it  has  long  since  disappeared.  I 
Iiave  often  wondered  what  on  earth  I  should 
have  done  wilh  it,  had  we  come  to  blows.  I 
used  to  picture  myself  encountering  a  tall

tinuously— at  a  small  hall  situated  near  the

DcTcn  Epiphany  Custom  (10"'  S.  v,  iiii).— 
Wliether  the  bean  custom  at  Epiphany,  which 
[is  almost  nntverial  on  the  European  contiiient, 
{be  traceable  to  liie  Roman  Saturnalia,  ur  to 
[the  custom  among  the  Romans  of  casting  ritce 
[to  fJecide  who  »huuUl   be  tlio  rejr  coni'ivii,  is 
||)6rhaps  still  open  to  question.     It  is,  liow- 
'ever.  remarkable  that  man^'  of  the  customs 
peculiar  to  the  Saturnalia  bear  a  noteworthy 
rcHemblance    to   the    mports  of    the  Italian 
Carnival  and  of  our  own  Christma-i.     One  of 
the    amuieraents,    for    instance,   in    private 
HOciety,  during  this  festival,  was  the  election 
of  a  mock  king,  at  once  suggesting  a  close 
resemblance  to  our  Twelfth  Night  ceremony, 
[ill  which  he  who  finds  the  bean  is  proclaimed 
[''  King  of  the  Bean  "—in  France  "  Lb  Uoi  de 
[Feve.'*    The  "special  kind  of  bread"  made 
[in    Holland,  in  which    the   bean   is  hidden, 
irobahl}'    had    no     particular    signification 
Further  than  that  special   bread  or  cake  was 
ippropriate  to  the  occasion.     A  writer  in  T/te 
^GiHtleiwm's  ^fa^fl1l^ne^(\\xolfn\  by  Brand  in  his 
*Anti<jnilieV  thinks  the  practice  of  choosing 
the  king  and  queen  on  Twelfth  Night  owes 
itn  origin  to  the  custom  among  the  Romans, 
which  they  took  from  the  Greeks,  of  casting 
[.riice   who  should   be  iho  rex  convivii,  or,  as 
"lorace  calls  liira,  the  arbiter  libendi.    Who- 
ever    threw    the     lucky    cast,    which    they 
[termed     Venus     or     Basilicus,     gave    laws 
I  for     the     night    {Gent.    Maij.,    vo).    xxxiv,, 
I  December,   1764,   p.  099).    But   this  custom 
was  peculiar  to  convivial  meetings  following 
an  ent^^rtainment  given  to  frietids,  and  not,  I 
think,  to  any  particular  part  of   the  Satvnii- 
alia  which  may  have  corresponded  to  Twelfth 
Night.     In   the  English   custom    a   pea    was 
appropriated  to  tlie  queen  as  well  as  a  bean 
to  the  king.     Concerning  the  rer  convinii  at 
the  comiistitio  see  Fuss's  *  Roman  Antiquities ' 
(trans.  1840),  §  4G4.     We  have  a  saying  which 
testiG&i  to    the    former    prevalence   of    the 
custom  in  England,  "  He  has  found  a  bean 
the  cake, '    meaning    that  good    fortune 
attends  him,   he  lias  drawn  a   pri/.e  in    the 
>tt«ry.     And  that  the  king  was  supposed  to 
<  pro  tf.m,  one  of  the  Tiireo  Kings  is  evident 
in  thrt   Frencli    narne   for   tlie  occasion,    the 
JQur  (Irs  roix,  while  the  French  also  indicate 
jood  luck  proverbially  by  the  saying,  "II  a 
rouve  la  fi-ve  au  gAteau." 
On   Twelfth   Night  in    the  year  1870  an 
fclmoftt  impromptu  dinner  was  got  up  at  the 
Tailerie«,  iuritations  being  sent  out  in  the 


afternoon  to  assemble  a  party  of  forty. 
Several  of  the  Prince  Imperial's  young  friends 
were  among  Iha  guests,  and  after  dinner  the 
Empress  assembled  a  circle  around  her  to 
"  draw  the  bean";  a  superb  specimen  of  the 
traditional  cake  made  its  appearafice.aud  the 
i)ean  fell  to  the  share  of  the  Prince  Imperial. 
Was  it  hazard  alone,  it  was  a^ked,  that 
directed  ttie  knife?  Again,  at  a  party  of 
Liberal  members  de  la  Gauche  great  fun  was 
liad  about  the  bean,  a  number  of  joking

In  Devonshire  tlie  robin  is  very  generally 
associated  with  ill-luck,  and  not  by  the 
illiterate  only.  At  the  Ashburton  meeting 
of  llie  Devonshire  Association  in  180G  a 
member  of  the  Committee  on  Devonshire 
Folk-lore  tcfiorted  {tnteyaiin)  as  follows  : — 

"  DurinR  the  whole  of  the  paat  winter  a  robin 
took  u|i  its  abode  in  the  houae  of  a  friend  of  mine, 
where  it  remained  until  the  aprinc,  rooatingon  th» 
|)ioturea  during  the  niKht,  and  helping  iiaelf  to 
what  it  iileaaed  from  the  table  during  nieala.  A 
lady  fricnci  (tlie  wife  of  aclerRynian)  called  one  day, 
and,  oltKerviii^  the  robin  flying  about  the  room, 
remarked  tliatahe  ahould  not  caro  to  liave  it  in  her

Luster  Ware  (10'*'  S.  v.  110).— Although 

the  metallic  lustre  imparted  to  the  particular 
kind  of  earthenware  vessels  known  as 
"  lustre  ware "  was  doubtless  suggested  by 
the  superior,  though  similar  lustrous  om&> 
mentation  of  Hispano  Moresco  pottery,  it 
seems  to  have  been  in  other  rej^jjecls  one  of 
those  inventions  which  were  distinctly 
ICnglish,  and  one  which  owed  nothing 
beyond  this  suggestion  to  continental  in- 
fluences. Copper  "lustre  '  was  ma«lo  at 
Bri.flington,  near  Bristol,  by  Richard  Frank 
and  his  son,  the  Ilrisliu^ton  works  havine 
been  closed  in  1789;  but  it  was  also  produced 
in  the  Staffordshire  potteries.  This  copper 
lustre,  into  which  copper  or  a  substitute  for 
it  entered  largely,  was  turned  out  in  large 
quantities,  to  meet  the  demands  of  the 
cottager  for  something  bright  and  attractive 
to  the  eye,  and  may  still  be  mtit  with 
frequently  in  the  farmhouses  and  cottages  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  Gloucester  and  Bristol. 
Prof.  Church  says: —

it  is  imjioasiiiie  even  to  conceive  what  England

The  third  book,  devoted  to  Gregory  as  a  great 
Doctor  of  the  Church,  is  full  of  skilfully  condenseJ 
matter.  Classical  learning  was  at  a  low  ebb  in 
Home  when  he  was  called  to  the  Papacy,  Greek 
being  practically  unknown.  Gregory  himself  openly 
liiscouroged  what  he  termed  "the  idle  vanities  of 
secular  litoralure,"  and  had  nothing  but  pruise  for 
the  "  scienter  nesciua  et  sapienler  itidnctus." 
Paganism  vi'as  still  at  I  hut  time  a  T>uwer  to  be 
reckoned  with,  and  chissieal  learning  was  only, 
in  bis  estimation,  a  danger  to  Ihefuith  of  Chris- 
lians.  The  fact  is  that,  bred  as  a  monk,  Gregory 
never  quite  divested  himself  of  the  nscolio  mind 
and  narrow  outlook  of  the  cloister.  He  favourccj 
the  cult  of  relics,  and  in  many  ways  inauguralet^ 
a  lower  type  of  p«ii)ular  religion.  He  was  uie  Hrst 
also  to  introduce  fauiiiliar  stories  and  itiustrationa 
into  his  atirnions,  and  thus  became  Ihe  forerunner 
of  a  bmg  line  of  popular  preachers. 

But  if  he  was  above  all  a  saint  and  an  ecclesiastic, 
ho  was  also  a  statesman  of  a  very  shrewd  and 
practical  sagacity.  It  will  ever  be  reniendjered  to 
Ilia  credit  that,  notwithstanding  his  btiruing  z?al 
for  his  own  faith,  he  stood  forward  as  the  de^nder 
and  champion  of  the  .Jews  when  I  hoy  were 
generally  persecuted.  And  his  wise  toleration  is 
manifested  in  the  '  Kastvonsa '  ho  sent  to  AuKueline 
for  his  guidance  in  matters  of  reform.  Another 
famous  work  of  his,  'The  Pastoral  Caro,"  became  a 
widely  read  manual,  and  moulded  the  polity  and 
conduct  of  the  church's  rulers  for  many  ages.  It  is 
not  too  mui-h  to  say  that  he  was  the  founder  of  tlie 
mediaeval  Papncv  as  a  tenii>oral  power,  and  that 
the  Church  of  Rome  is  what  it  is  because  it  is 
saturated  with  tho  spirit  of  Gregory.  Hid  chief 
honmir  will  ever  remain  that  he  was  the  iirst  great 
nrganixer  of  niissions  in  the  outlying  regions  of 
Kuropoan  heatheniain,  and  the  iniliroi:;t  promoter, 
in  consequence,  of  modern  culture  and  civilization.

the  modorn  traveller.  This  counsel  should  be 
taken  wi(h_  limitations.  Nowhere  else  wilhitt 
reoKonabie  distance  can  the  Knst  — ihe  true  East — 
l>e  seen.  Egypt,  Tunisia,  Algiers,  are  nil  sophis- 
ticated. Morocco  is,  however,  better  Riiiteil  to  the 
active  and  adventurous  than  to  tho  pacilji:  traveller 
after  pleasure-  Mr.  Meakin  was,  for  a  time  ak 
least,  acoonipaniod  by  bis  wilo.  lo  whom  he  owea 
glimpses  of  inlerinra  bo  would  not  otherwise  have

seen  the  liglit  in  The  Titim  of  Morocco  and  iu 
various  English  periodicals ;  while  other  portions 
are  to  be  included  in  a  further  record  of  experiencea 
in  Morocco.  W'e  find  little  personal  adveu-

description  of  life  as  at  present  seen  in  Morocco, 
and  of  places  and  iuslitutionn  as  they  exist,  the

Ihi-s  Charles  Reade  writes  that  in  1658  a 
friend  of  lib 

"had  bu«ttie«<4  with  A  firm  of  solicitora,  the  senior 
ptrlner  in  whicli  h»d  in  liia  youtli  been  in  a  iioitse 
that  acteii  for  Lord  Uamelford.  He  said  that  pre- 
paratioDS  were  actually  made  to  carrv  out  Lord 
Uamelford'i  M'ishe«  as  to  (he  diei)08al  of  his  re- 
mains. He  was  umhahiied  and  packed  up  for 
tranitportalion.  But  at  that  very  nick  of  lime  war 
waa  proclaimed  aKain,  and  the  body,  wiiiuh  was 
then  deposited, /»rii  c<:;«/wi-t,  in  St.  Anne's  Church 
in  Soho,  remained  there  awaiting  bef.ter  times. 
The  war  lasted  a  Iook  while,  and,  naturally  enoui;h, 
Cametford's  body  was  forjjotlen.  After  Europe 
waa  settled  it  struck  the  Bolieitor.  who  was  my 
friend's  informant,  thai  Camelford  had  never  been 


Lord  Camelford  was  conveywl  to  Little- 
Holland  House,  clo.se  by,  then  the  residence- 
of  Mr.  Ottey,  and  afterwards  for  very  mauv 
years  that  of  Watts  the  painter.  Here  Lord* 
Camelford  die<l  on  10  Marcii,  aged  thirty, 
from  the  result  of  his  wounds. 

His  remains  were  deposited  in  a  gorgeou» 
cofRn  in  tlie  vaults  of  St.  Anne's  Cliurch, 
Soho,  wliere  they  now  are.  Lord  Camelford, 
the  day  before  his  death,  wrote  a  codicil  to- 
las will,  in  wliich  he  expresHJy  desiie<l  to 
be  buiiel  on  the  borders  of  the  Lake 
of  Lampierre,  in  the  Canton  de  Berne, 
between   three  trees  which    he  specified  :    a 


said  the  sexton,  in  a  very  cavalier  way,  'here  hoi  pensation  to  the  owner  of  tlie  land.     But  as 
is'  ;  and  showed  him  a  thing  wliich  ho  afterwards    he  died   at   tlio  time  tho  European   war  was- 

raging,  his  executors  found  it  imiwssible  then 
to  carry  out  his  in.structiorjs  ;  and  when 
peace  was  declareil  in  18U),  Lord  Camelford 


described  to  my  friend  M'Leod  as  un  enormously 
torn;  tish  basket,  til  to  pack  a  shark  in.  And  this, 
M'Leod  assured  nic,  was  seven  or  eipht  years  after 
Camelfnrd's  duath.  Unfortunately,  M'l^eod  could 
not  tell  nie  whether  his  informant  paid  a  second 
visit  to  the  church,  or  what  took  place  betweea 
I81j  and  1S.^S  " 

Charles  Reade  concludes  by  asking  the 
question  which  forms  the  title  of  his  paper, 
but  whether  he  ever  got  a  reply  does  not 
appear 


was  stili  left  in  the  vaults  of  St.  Anne's. 

Lord  Holland  set  up  an  ''  expiatory  clas- 
sical altar"  on  the  spot  whero  the  duel  took. 
place,  but  that  has  been  removed. 

Constance  Russbli.. 


Lord  Camelford  was  buried,  at  his  own  re- 


shown  in  the  Register  the  entry  of  liia 
burial  there  on  17  March,  1804— in  linen,  for 
which  luxury  an  extra  fee  of  il  10».  waa 
paid.  There  is  uo  entry  in  any  book  of  any 
removal,  as  there  certainly  wouUl  bo.  if  any 
such  had  occurred;  but  the  "fish-basket"  is 
not  likely  to  be  seen  by  mortal  eye  for  some 
time  to  come,  for  burials  in  the  church  were 
prohibited  in  18.'>3,  and  the  vaults  were 
sealed  up  with  brickwork  and  asphalte  for 
sanitary  reasons  about  thirty  years  ago. 

Alan  Stewart. 

The  eccentric  Thomas  Pitt,  second  Lord 
CamelfonJ,  was  not  killed  by  I'eterson  in 
Switzerland,  but  died  in  Little  Holland 
House,  Kensington,  whither  he  was  moved 
after  his  fatal  duel  with  Capt^  Best.  Always 
pugnacious,  l)e  provoked  the  quarrel  at  the 
Prince  of  Wales's  Coffee-House  in  Conduit 
Street,  apropos  of  a  Mrs.  Symons.  The 
duel  took  place  on  7  March,  1804,  in  that 
part  i>f  the  grounds  of  Holland  House  which 
was  formerly  called  "The  Moats."  I'nable 
to  bo  taken  to  his  IwJginga  over  a  grocer's 
shoj)  at  148.  Bond  Street  (which  he  preferred 
to  his  magificeut  mansion  Camelfora  House),

AMIilRlCANS  IN    ENGLISH   RECORDS. 

In  working  upon  English  records  one  not; 
infrequently  encounters  references  to  kins- 
men in  America  which  to  our  cousins  across 
the  sea,  seeking  perchance  their  family's 
English  habitat,  would  prove  of  no  tittle 
interest.  I  have  saved  many  such  in  the 
course  of  some  years'  working  at  originIa^ 
sources,  and  now,  with  the  Editor's  per- 
mis-sion,  propose  to  contribute  a  few  of  tlieu> 
to  these  pages.

h8tn"{7),  Surrej',  Doctor  in  Physic,  in  his 
will,  proved  26  July,  173B.  mentions  "my 
son  now  in  Maryland."  (Prerogative  Court 
of  Canterbury,  185  Brodrepp.) 

Watkus.  —  Will  of  Edward  Waters,  of 
Elizabeth  Cittie,  iu  Virginia,  1630.  Refers

Vanishiso  London  :  pAfiAmsK  Row, 
ClfELSRA. — The  six  picturesque  houses  on 
the  north  side  of  Royal  Hospital  Roa«J, 
Chel'iea,  for'jerly  known  as  Paradiae  Row, 
and  now  in  course  of  demolition,  have  many 
interesting  associations.  There  is  a  tradition 
that  these  houses  were  designed  by  Sir 
Christoplier  Wren  about  the  lime  he  was 
buildinK  the  Royal  Hospital,  begun  in  1G82, 
and  completeil  in  1C90;  but  as  to  this  there 
ia  no  certain  evidence. 

It  seems  probable  that  the  ten  liouses  of 
which  these  six  formed  a  part  gave  the 
name  to  the  whole  of  the  roadway  from  the 
College  Garden  (now  a  portion  of  the 
Hospital  grounds)  to  Choyno  Wnlk,  and  it 
does  not  follow  that  when  Paradise  Row  is 
alluded  to  lher>e  houses  are  referred  to. 

Hortensia  Mancini,  Duchesse  de  la  ^leil- 
leraie,  niece  of  Cardinal  Mazarin,  is  said 
to  have  died  in  penury  in  Para<]ise  Row  in 
l()f»9,  having  removed  there  from  Lindsey 
Mou><e,  at  the  west  end  of  Cheyne  Walk, 
which  was  her  reaidenoe  daring  her  period  of 
prosperity. 

John  Riibarts,  first  Etrl  of  Radnor,  re- 
aided  in  Paradise  Row  in  a  house  adjoining 
Robinson's  Lane,  and  here  he  died  in  IGSb. 
Pepys  visited  him  at  Chelsea,  and  records  in 
his  diary  that  he  passed  his  time  "(before 
being  called  in)  in  contemplating  the  picture 
of  my  Lord's  son's  lady,  a  moat  beautiful 
woman  and  most  like  to  Mrs.  Rutler." 

Henry,  I'uke  of  Kent>,  had  a  house  in 
Panuiise  (iow  about  1715.  He  died  5  June, 
1740. 

George  Stepney,  poet  and  political  writer, 
a  friend  of  .\ddison,  died  in  Paradise  Row, 
15  Sei)t.,  1707. 

Dr.  Richard  Mead,  physician  to  George  IL, 
resided  in  Paradise  Row  about  1714. 

Richard  Siiett,  the  comedian,  Ciiarles 
Lamb's  favourite,  had  lodgings  in  Paradi.se 
Rovf  at  the  close  of  his  life,  but  appears 
to  liave  died  in  a  public-house  in  Denzill 
Street,  Claro  Market,  9  July,  1805.  He 
was  buried  in  St.  Paul's  churchyard. 

Samuel  Coles,  brother  of  Francis  Cotes, 
H  A.,  a  popular  portrait  painter  and  minia- 
tarisl,  retired  to  Chelsea,  and  resided  first 
in  Cheynd  Walk,  ami  afterwards  in  Paradise 
Kow,  where  he  died  ia  1818. 


Sir  Thomas  Pelhara,  Bart.,  M.P.  for  Lewes, 
resided  liere  in  1705,  as  did  Sir  Francis 
Windham,  brother  of  Lieut. -General  Wind- 
ham, about  1700. 

The  following  persons  are  mentioned  by 
Bowack  as  residing  in  Paradise  Row  at  the 
time  he  wrote  his  account  of  Chelsea, 
namely  in  1705.     He  says  :— 

"  Near  the  Royal  Hnspilal  there  runs  a  regular 
row  of  huiltliiiKS  towards  llie  Thaiueii,  culleii 
Paradise  Row,  in  ul»ich  dwell*  John  CrjiwforH, 
Estj.,  ono  of  her  Majesty's  Ciinmiissionera,  son  to 
Coniinisaary  David  Oawford  ;  Jcrniyn  \N  ych,  Kai).,. 
one  of  her  Majesty's  JuMiices  of  the  Pettce  for 
Itltddlesex,  »on  lo  8ir  Cyril  Wych,  DArt.,  resident 
at  the  Hans  Towna  ;  near  also  lives  Mr.  Cursellis, 
and  Mr.  John  Pennant,  t>otli  Kentlemea  of  good 
estate,  and  Mr.  John  Blow.'' 

Among  the  more  recent  residents  in  Para- 
dise Row  was  Charles  Keene,  the  caricaturist, 
and  with  him  Mr.  F.  Wilfred  Lawaon. 
Mr,  G.  S.  Layard  in  his  'Life  of  Keene* 
says : — 

"In  IS73  we  Had  Keene  attain  changing  hia 
quarters  for  11,  Queen's  Road  \Vest,  after  nearly 
len  years  ovur  Messrs.  Klliolt  &  Fry's  in  Uaker 
Street.  The  new  stndio  was  part  of  a  chaniiiuc; 
old  hnase  now  no  longer  standing,  having  been 
Iinlled  down  some  years  later  fur  the  iiur^ioso  of 
(irulonging  ''Fite  Street  into  Tedworlli^  Sfluare. 
Soon  after  Keene  removed  lliero,  Mr.  F.  Wilfriii 
LawBon,  the  wellkciown  artist,  took  the  whole 
house,    Keene    oanlinuing   to    otcnpy    two  of  llie 

njoms It)  1S7!I.  the  Queen's  Road  iireniises  being 

reijuired  for  li)ca,l  imiirovementR,   Keene  removed 
to  hia  last  alndio,  at  239.  King's  Road,  Chelsea."

autlior  spelt  his  name  in  early  life  with  a  «,

classical  education,  went  into  the  army,  and

I  have  little  doubt  that  some  account  of 
JlacDouogli's  life  would  be  interesting,  if 
not  much  to  his  credit. 

I  may  add  to  the  reply  of  BosHEV  Heath 
(VV.  Jerdttii)  at  4"''  S.  iii.  300  tliab  in  Ida 
*  AutobiuKraphy,'  vol.  ii.  p.  237,  he  says  that

A  few  years  previously  a  'Hermit'  had 
"been  published  in  Paris,  and  both  there  and

"Betterment."— Possibly  I  ara  singular  in 
Bupposing  this  doctrine  to  be  very  modern. 
If  1  am  not,  the  following,  taken  from 
Pepys's  'Diary,'  under  date  3  Dec.,  1067,  ia

the  ground,  Jk  to  be  excused  |>ayingaiiything for  Iba 
melioraiion  of  the  rest  of  his  grouud  that  he  wae  to 
keep.  The  Court  consented  to  give  him  TtHV.  only 
not  to  abate  the  consideration,  which  the  man 
denied  ;  but  told  them,  h  an  they  agreed,  that  h« 
would  excuse  the  City  tiie  70(V  ,  that  he  niigVithavo

From  tiie  foregoing  it  is  clear  that  tlie 
man  saw  a  possibility  of  being  charged  tuore 
for  "melioration"  of  the  pieces  of  land  re- 
tained than  lie  would  receive  for  the  portion

H0R.SE-RACIXG  IN  France.  —  If  we  may 
cr^it  a  'Guide  Souvenir  de  Semur,'  it  was 
in  that  place— ^Irs.  Oliphant's  *'  Beleaguered 
City" — that  French  horse-racino:  first  began. 
It  has  been  stated  that  Charles  V.  established 
a  foot-race  there  in  1369,  and  that  this,  with 
some  intermissions,  was  run  on  31  May, 
during  the  time  of  a  great  fair,  until  1651, 
when  it  was  abolixhed  in  favour  of  a  horse- 
race, which  had  since  1639  been  carried  on 
concurrently  with  the  human  competition  in 
swiftness.  Originally  a  pair  of  breeches  had 
been  the  winner's  ineeti,  but  in  course  of 
time  a  hat  and  a  pair  of  gloves  were  added 


to  the  prize-list.  In  1051  a  gold  ring  was 
substituted  for  the  cltautsts.  The  'Guide' 
asserts : — 

"  La  conrso  de  la  Bagiie  est  la  premiere  conrse  de 
chevaux  ijui  ait  exists  en  France.  11  a'y  en  a  eu  h. 
Paris  que  l.TT  ans  plus  tard,  en  l.iO.  Aujourd'hui 
elle  se  fait  encore  avec  beauconp  d'dclat,  car  la 
nmuicipalite  et  les  habitants  sent  tiers  de  conserver 
cette  antiqno  tradition.  Lea  prix  aout  resli-s  lea 
nteines  qu'en  1651,  une  ba^ue  en  or  aux  arniea  de  la 
ville,  uue  teharpe,  et  nno  paire  do  gants." 

Over  the  gat«  by  which  one  enters  Semur, 
when  approaching  it  from  the  railway  station, 
is  the  hospitable  legend,  "Les  Semurois  so 
plai&ent  dans  I'accointanco  des  Elrangers." 
Thi.s  is  quoted  in  the  *  Guide  Souvenir 'and 
attributed  to  Munster.  Who  wa.s  bet— Sebas-

One  of  the  oldest  of  these  is  tlantendicidnr, 
which  appears  in  print  so  early  as  1844. 
Bi>»hop  Wilberforce's  Kijuarton  is  often  quoted, 
but  I  presume  the  querist  wants  original 
examples,  not  well-known  ones.  Most  ^mi- 
lies  have  invented  one  or  two,  which  pass 
current  only  in  a  limite<^l  circle.  Among  my 
own  people  I  frequently  hear  niif}rano>/in'j, 
for  "  aggravating  "  and  "  annoying ''  ; 
bnin<-h  for  a  nondescript  meal  between  break- 
fast and  lunch  ;  circumtnt  as  a  compromise 
between  "circular"  and  "advertisement," 
ifec.  Of  similar  structure  are  s/iai/arette, 
which  we  employ  for  a  cigarette  of  strong 
tobacco,  and  shnp,  which  stands  for  "  shut 
tip."  Ja8.  Platt,  Jun. 

An  old  Yorkshire  friend  of  mine  (now 
dead)  uaed  the  following  words  frequently. 
He  thought  they  were  goofl  English  :  — 

"  DisAstrophe  "  =  disaster  -f-  catastrophe. 

"Insinuendo"  =  insinuation   ■   innuendo- 

"  Metropolypus  "  =  metropolis  -;  polypus 
(a  central  diseased  overgrowth,  which  wa.s 
quite  the  opinion  my  friend  held  of 
London). 

"SArc«>«arR8ms"  =  sarcastic  +  sarcasms. 

"Sttrcttsarastical  "  —  sarcantic  :  critical. 
Probably  these  were  not  conscious  combi- 
nations, hut  were  what  their  author  would 
liave  described  as  "Slipsus  tongute."  into 
which  he  had  twisted  "lapsus  linguiie,"  and 


which,  for  mistakes  in  writings  he  modified 
into  "  Slipsus  penpuie." 

Kindreu  examples  {though  not  strictly 
"  portmanteau'*  words)  which  I  have  found 
useful  are  :  — 

"  Cheerook  ! "'  the  exclamation  of  an  opti- 
mist frog,  in  a  poem  by  one  of  the  students 
of  the  Pratt  Institute,  Brooklyn,  N.Y. 

"Cheepspeeps  ''=cheerful  people;  a  phrase 
invented  bv  one  who  argues  that  birds  are 
alway.H  "cneeps,"  and  say  ao  tliemselves ; 
and  further,  that  if  "  people  "  means  several 
persons,  one  person  must  be  a  "  peep  "  ;  of 
which  the  plural  is,  naturally,  "  peeps."

Laconic  Letters  (10'''  S.  v.  108,  153).— 
There  may  be  a  few  examples  in  Reorge 
Seton's  'Gossip  about  Letters  and  Letter- 
Writers  '  ( Edinburgh,  Erluiontone  <k 
Douglas,  1870).  I  noted  from  this  book  some 
years  ago  tJie  remark  that  these  laconic 
letters  are  generalty  comic,  and  chiefly 
unautiienticated.  1  also  noted  two  exanvples 
from  the  same  hook  which  perhaps  de.serve 
to  come  under  tlris  category,  although  givea 
under  other  headings  by  Seton.  Sir  Walter 
Scott  said  that  tfie  most  pninted  letter  ho 
knew  was  the  answer  of  Lord  Macdonald  to 
the  head  of  the  Glengarry  family  :  — 

Mv  Deak  (Ilksoarrv,  —  Aa  soon  as  you  can

The  following  is  quoted  as  Francis  Jeffrey's 
wicked  reply  to  a  begging  letter  :—

relation  to  "superhunian,"  which  means 
something  entirely  ditierent.  In  construc- 
tion, tiK),  it  is  better,  for  in  the  Latin 
authors  tujter  is,  I  believe,  more  frequently 
used  wiih  a  noun,  in  the  hense  of  "above" 
or  "upon,"  than  with  aii  adjective.  /Eneas, 
€.ff.,  says  he  is  "fania  super  rethera  notus." 
It  is,  of  course,  in  a  manner,  a  play  upon  the 
word,  "  man  "  beinii;  here  used  in  its  re- 
stricted sense  as  referring  to  the  male  sex 
only,  instead  of  in  its  more  usual  meaning  as 
referring  to  the  whole  human  race.  Super- 
man is  not  .superhuman,  liui  veiy  much 
human.  The  author  points  out  that  man  is 
controlled,  not  by  fate  or  dentiny,  or  luck  or 
chance,  or  any  other  metaphysical  abstrac- 
tions, nor  yet  by  his  own  will,  as  he  fondly 
thinks,  but  by  that  of  woman.  The  satire, 
whether  true  or  not,  ia  very  old,  but  the 
application  of  tl)o  word  is  admirable.  It 
inaicate«  one  wiio  is  human,  but  not  man. 
One  would  almost  imagine,  from  his  falling 
foul  of  the  woril,  that  A.  T.  M.  iiad  never 
seen  the  play.  It  \&  absolutely  appropriate.

SuKiDRs  DiraiEDiN  theOpen  FlELr)S(10"'S. 
IV.  346,  307,  475,  514  ;  v.  76).— Before  passing 
judgment  on  the  old  burial  laws  relating  to 
autcides,  it  is  necessary  to  know  something 
of  the  attitude  assumed  by  the  authorities 
and  by  the  people  in  general  towards  them. 
One  cannot  read  meoiceval  records  without 
aeeing  that  suicides  were  regarile<l  as  umr- 
derors— self  luurdorers,  it  is  true,  but  still 
murderers,  takers  of  human  life.  EcelesiaM- 
tioally  they  were  excommunicate  ipio  facto  ; 


and  they  were  in  a  worse  position  than 
murderers  of  others,  for  they  were  without 
opportunity  of  re|>eutance  and  absolution. 
Their  exclusion  from  consecrated  grounti 
was  due  probably  to  common  law,  but  I  know 
of  no  statute  aoout  it.  No  one  is  likely  to 
defend  the  brutality  of  past  ages.  lb  was 
largely  due  to  ignorance  and  the  social  con- 
ditions of  the  country.  It  is  unjustifiable  to 
attribute  it  to  the  influence  of  the  monks.

Horace  Walpole's  Letters  (10""  S.  iii. 
380;  iv.  158;  v.  133).— The  letters  quoted 
from  '  The  Private  Correspondence  of  Horace 
Wnlpole.  Earl  of  Orford,'  1820,  are  not  by 
the  younger  Horace,  but  by  his  uncle.  Old 
Horace,  afterwards  Baron  Walpole  of  Wol- 
ferton.  whom  the  great  letter-writer  most 
cordially  detested.  These  letters  are  dated 
from  "  Wolferlon,"  from  which  the  elder 
Horace  took  his  title  in  175{j.  The  tract* 
named  in  the  first  are  mentioned  as  his  in 
tlie  'D  N.B.';  while  in  the  second  I  lie  writer 
speaks  of  "mj'  brother"  and  Lord  n<>1iiig- 
broke,  and  immediately  after  of  "  Lord 
Orford,"  i.e.,  Sir  Robert,  the  first  Karl.  Tli& 
editor  must  have  lieen  "overseen,"  as  Swift 
would  have  said,  in  nltributing  these  letters 
to  the  nephew  instead  of  the  uncle. 

Mk.  Helton  will  find  some  account  of  the 
IJev.  Henry  Etough  in  Nichols's  '  Literary 
Anecdotes,  viii.  201-4.  He  was  MA.  of 
Pembroke  Hall,  Cambridge,  and  married  Sir 
Ilobert  Walpole  to  Miss  Skerret.  He  was  for 
twenty-three  years  rector  of  Sherfield  ;  and 
his  monument  states  that 

"With  a  roliuHt  constitution,  lliroujth  a  singular 
habit  of  lx>d>%  he  lived  many  years  without  the  usa 
of  animal  food,  or  of  any  fermented  liijiiid  ;  a:i(i

Of  the  numerous  questions  I  had  to  go  into 
with  great  care  in  writing  my  'Swimming,' 
copyriglit  was  one.  I  apologize  for  so  fre- 
quently referring  to  my  own  book,  but  it  is 
the  only  one  I  know  of  that  treats  of  nearly 
every  bibliographical  or  book  que.Hlitm.  In 
the  first  place  your  querist  should  Irimself 
consult  the  lust  edition  of  lite  great  work  of 
your  learned  contributor  Dr.  Ci)pinger.  If 
lie  refers  to  "  Uopinger  on  Copyright,  edited 
by  Eastoii, '  VMA,  he  wilt  Tind  all  the  law  on 
the  subject.  I  do  not  think  it  u.-ieful  to  go 
into  cases  in  'N.  Jt  Q.'  The  ctiief  principle 
seems  to  Ije  titat  you  must  not  take  anything

In  "a  trim  reckoning"  the  speaker  iroidc- 
ally  inflicates  that  the  return  is  so  fine  as 
to  be  unsubstantial.  Anything  that  is  air 
and  notliing  more  may  be  fitly  ridiculed  as  a 
basis  of  i[)retension— "a  trim  reckoning" 
indeed!  For  this  ironical  use  of  "trim"

HAiR-rowPKRisc  Closets  (10'''  8.  iv.  310, 
417,453;  V.  r>7,  90.  135).— In  that  beautiful 
publication  of  the  brothers  A"lam,  '  Works  in 
Architecture,'  1778-1822,  there  is  a  plan  of 
Earl  Derby's  house  in  Orosvenor  S^juare 
<vol.  ii.  plate  i.)  which  shows  clearly  that 
a  hair-  |M>w(lerin(;  clo;<et  was  a  necessary 
itortion  of  a  well  -  etiuippptl  entablisinnoni. 
There  is  no  que'itiou  ft?  to  whether  this 
particular  clonot  wag  merely  a  dressing-room, 
nnd  the  plate  I  have  iiamsd  will  reniuve  all 
Mr.  Ruttom's  objections  on  that  score.  For 
Lady  Derby's  tlressinn  room— famous  for  il8 
sumptuous  decorations  in  the  Etruscan 
«tyle — is  clearly  marked  on  the  plan,  and  is 
an  apartment  (2(tft.  Cin.  by  10  ft.)  opening 
<n  sui(i  between  the  third  drawing-room 
and  her  ladyship's  bedroom,  which  measured 
17  ft.  by  IG  f t.  Adjacent  to  the  bedroom, 
and  communicating;  with  it,  is  a  room  named 
n  closet  ciiamber,  and  from  thiii  adoorleadn 
into  the  "  powdering  chamber."  Thus  every 
room  is  distinctly  indicated  —  bedroom, 
<]re«sing  roi>m,  closet  chamber,  pywdering 
chamber,  and  another  small  anrl  curious  apart- 
ment, all  « it  .<»(/«.  In  the  ground-floor  plan 
are  siinwn  Lord  Derby's  lied  and  dressing 
rooms,  with  .i«o^/«rc  powdering  chamber,  for 
those  were  the  d.ays  of  the  ^lacaroniN,  when 
a  seotloman's  he;id- dress  was  almost  as 
«1aDonite  as  that  of  a  Udy.  This  sumptuous 
hottue  was  No.  4,  Grosvonor  Square,  ami  was 
finished  in  tlie  early  winter  of  1774,  before 
Lonl  Stanley  fafierwards  twelfih  Ei.r\  of 
Derby  '  had  succeeded  to  the  title.  Writingon 
Saturday,  3  Dec,  1774,  Ladv  Mary  Coke  tells 
a*  ;  ••  Lady  Betty  Stanley  [afterwards  L'ldy 
Derby]  has  come  to  Ujwn,  and  had  a  party 
the  otiier  uight  of  three  tables  to  show  her 
Bne house."  This  «ame  "fine  house"  di<I  not 
«uit  the  taste  of  Horace  Walpole,  for  he 
ftpcaks  of  it  as  "filigreed  into  puerility.'

"  Brelan  "  (10""  S.   V.  29.    114).  — "Bouil 
or  Brelan  "  and  the  way  to  play  it  are 
(iveri  in   the  *  Comprehensive  Handbook  to 
lie  Card  Oaiues,'  by  K  K.  Foster  (Simpkin, 


Marshall  <t  Co.,  no  date— a  recent  publica- 
tion), pp.  230-44.^  It  is  spoken  of  as  "ati 
old  ana  famous  French  gambling  game," 
"  the  rage  durinK  and  lun-r  after  the  French 
Uevuliitioii,  but  has  lately  had  tu  share  public 
aitenVion  with  Bsccara,  aud  even  with  Le  Poker 
Ann''ric«in."' 

"  A  Urelan  C^rr^  is  fonr  of  a  kind,  three  in  tire 
|il»yer'»  hand,  and  Ihe  fuurtli  turned  iip  on  the 
paoK.  If  any  player  holiis  a  brelan  (three  of  a 
l(iiid)  u(  a  hit;lier  denoiiiinatioii  than  the  brelan 
t'lirri.',  llio  player  may  turn  up  the  (•nrU  under  the 
retOLiriie  [i.e.,  under  the  turn-up  oardj.  and  if  ihia 
tiiiVos  his  hand  a  brclaa  canu  aiau,  he  wins  ihe 
pool." 

"A    Biiniile  BroUn    in    three  of  a  kind  in   the 

player'n  hund .Should   the  broku   be   formed  by 

uriitiiiK  the  retourne  with  two  cards  in  the  player's 
hand,  il  is  a  brelau  fikvori." 

Jf  tliere  is  no  brelan.  the  player  who  ha^ 
the  "point"  wins:  the  "point"  would 
require  a  long  explanation. 

Tliree,  four,  or  five  persons  may  play,  but 
four  is  the  proper  numlier.  If  there  are  four 
players,  bouillotte  is  played  with  a  pack 
reduced  to  twenty  cards,  aco,  king,  ([ueen. 
nine,  and  eight  of  each  suit.  Jf  five  persons 
play,  the  knaves  are  added.  If  only  three 
play,  the  queens  are  thrown  out. 

According  to  the  'Dictionnaire  de  I'Aca- 
demie,'  seizirme  edit.,  1H3.'J,  bouillotte  is  a 
sort  of  brelan  played  by  five  persons,  at 
which  a  player  gives  up  his  pkco  when  be 
has  lost  his  "  cave."  i  «.,  all  that  ho  has  before 
him.  According  to  Foster,  the  numbers  of 
counters  bought  by  the  players  from  the 
banker  at  the  beginning  of  the  game  are 
equal,  usually  l«x>,  and  a  player  cannot  buy 
any  more  until  kio  ha.s  lost  every  one  of  hia 
original  "  cave."  Robert  Pieri'oi.nt.

Tllic  eighteenth  century  was  a  jioriod  wiien  ejiewal

Tills  was  a  harhariHin,  no  doubt,  but  llicre  was

elirnax  in  a  lime  when  some  of  the  nir»t  worlhleas 
of  men  were  mujueationably  of  noble  race,  oa 
heralds  reckoned  iiobilily  ;  so  it  came  to  paM  that 
nearly  every  mon  of  lottera.  except  prof<?s*ed 
antiquaries,  who  in  any  way  came  in  tniicli  with 
the  stibjeL't  sneered  contemjituoualy.  The  spider 
of  pride  wtii  thought  lo  lurk  somehow  in  a 
family  pedigree.  The  heralds  had  neast'd  to  make 
their  vii^jlatioiifl,  und  aa  now  faniilies  were  not

of  <!eorKe  1.  and  the  death  of  George  III.  than  in 
earlier  times.  As  in  so  much  else.  Sir  NN'alter 
tjcutt  led  the  way ;  much  of  the  love  of  pedigree 
lore  which  abounds  at  the  present  day  may  be 
traced  to  Abbotsford.  We  owe  much  also  to 
America,  where  it  haa  lon^  been  a  favourite  study  : 
and  our  couains  across  the  Atlantic  have  ntroog 
claims  to  be  tiie  discoverers  of  the  important  fad 
that  an  accnrate  family  Kcnealngi,r  is  not  only  an 
important  hi8toric.al  document,  but  also  one  of 
•cientitic  valne  which  it  is  not  easy  to  overrate. 

Mr.  Crisp  appreciates  the  value  of  this  study 
from  a  far  wider  point  of  view  than  moat  of  liis

T»vau    Foik-forf   and  Siyirhts.    By  Isabella  M. 

Aoderton.  (Arnold  Fairbairns. ) 
Rearers  of  'N.  A  Q,'  will  delight  in  this  little 
volume,  and  note  "  the  curiounly  altered  versinns 
of  childhood  acquaintances  or  of  old  legends  which 
have  found  their  way  into  these  ri-niole  rcjtiona." 
The  sloiies  were  told  to  the  author  by  various 
peasants  during  a  summer  stay  amidtt  the  Tuscan 
Apennines.  The  volume  coni[irisefl  descriptions  of 
a  Tuscan  Bluebeard,  demon-steeds,  a  phantom 
bride,  a  wedding  feast  with  its  quaint  customs, 
and  the  manufacture  of  olive  oil  at  a  villa  where 
the  proprietor  has  a  love  of  Latin  insoriptiotis. 
One  uf  tlieHe,  unearthed  during  the  excavation  of 
a  Roman  villa,  reads  :— 

bjovi  hospitaii 
tacrnni 
O  quisquis  es  dummodo  houestus 
SI  forte 
fjessimoa  fugis  propioquoa 
iuiniicorum 
•olitaria  succedena  dorao 
quiesce. 
The  charm  of  the  volume  causei  ns  a  feeling  of 
sadoesA.  for  we  shall  have  no  more  from  the  same 
|ien.     The  author  pas*e<i   most  of  her  short  life 
among  the  Italian  itc-^iple,  and,  like  anotlicr  great. 
friend  of  Italy,  KliKabelh  Barrett  Browning,  died 
at  Florence,  and  now  rests  iu  the  cemetery  of  the 
Atlori. 

The  little  volume  contains  a  short  biographical 
note  bv  her  two  brothers,  and  some  translations 
from  the  i>oet  Pascoli.  The  illustration*)  include 
Florence  from  the  Piazzale,  Michel  Angelo,  and  a 
most  interesting  portrait  of  the  author,  who  bad 
married  an  Italian.  Rudolfo  Debarbieri. 

Ordo  Nomaiinn  Primus.  Edited  by  E.  G.  C.  Atchley. 

L.R.C.F.  (Moring.) 
Thk  latest  addition  to"  The  Library  of  Litargiotogy 
and  EccIe«ioloKy  "  emanating  from  the  I>e  l^  Alore 
Prees  is  the  Ordo  Romanus  I'riiuus,'  eHicieiitly 
c<1ite<l.  with  introduction  and  notes,  by  Mr.  Atchley. 
This  document  is  the  order  of  service  at  a  public 
niarta  as  it  used  to  b«  |>erformed  at  Rome  in  the 
eighth  century,  and  will  l>c  found  to  furnish  matter 
orextreme  interest  to  those  who  wiiih  to  follow 
the  historical  dovelupmeiit  of  Christian  worship. 
It  is,  in  fact,  a  directory  of  the  approved  rites  and 
ceremonies  which  were  observed  on  solemn  occa- 
aioii  '      Mielro|K)lJ«  of  Lntin  Christianity.     In 

the  I'f  tliH  editor  tlie  evidence  points  to 

the  !..:-  .  ui  77<)  for  tlio  present  recension  of  the 
work  bv  Pofie  ^Jtephen  HI.,  luit  this  was  probably 
f'>iinden;on  a  text  of  the  sixth  century.  Originally 
■  <\  by  Mabillun  in  his  'Museum  Jtalicuiii,' 
here  translated  into  P^nglish,  collated  with 
'isions,  and  snnotated.  One  of  the  t>oints 
brought'  out  is  that  in  the  matter  of  lights  and 
ioceuse,  and  the  arrnngemenls  of  the  chaitcel  and 
ultar,  the  old  iMgan  custorot  of  tfie  Roman  basilicaa 


were  largely  incori>orated  into  the  services  of  the- 
early  Church.  Even  the  '*  Kyrie  Eleison,"  which 
seems  tv  distinctively  Christian,  waa  originally  in 
iwj.ular  use  among  the  heathen  :  it  is  mentioned  in 
Epictotu.«r,  ami  appears  to  have  found  its  way  into 
the  Church  in  the  fourth  century. 

Mr.  Atchley  prints  as  apiiendixes  a  translation  of 
the  Ordo  Romanus  of  St.  Aniand  (about  800),  a 
typical  Roman  Liturgy  of  the  same  date,  and  the 
Liturgy  of  the  Diocese  of  Africa  in  the  time  of 
St.  Augustine  (almut  400),  all  of  which  will  be  wel- 
come  to  the  iutcliigeni  student  of  church  antiqui- 
ties. Fifteen  plates  of  early  ecclesisatical  exemplaUr 
such  aa  atnbons,  chalices,  and  mosaics,  serve  to 
ithistrate  the  matters  discussed,  and  add  much  to 
the  coinpleteneas  of  the  l>ook. 

The  OenHimoji'/i  Mayaziim  for  February,  the  first 
numk>er  under  Mr.  Bullen's  control,  has  an  excellent 
new  cover,  and,  what  is  ot  more  importance,  ex- 
cellent contents.  Mr.  Biillon  revives  the  corre- 
spondence and  the  obitunriPS  whioh  were  a  valued 
feature  of  the  magazine,  and  he  leads  off  with  an 
interesting  abstract  of  its  previous  career.  But 
while  scholarship  and  antiquarianiam  are  well 
represented  (the  former  by  a  tronslalion  of  Pro- 
perlitis  vi/rr  alia),  we  are  plea.sed  to  see  some 
personal  notes  on  so  rooHerii  a  figure  as  <Jenrge 
•  iissing,  and  'The  Days  Doings  of  a  Nobody'  of 
this  present  year  of  grace.  The  niolto-heading  of 
the  i»a|i«r  is  excellent,  but  Mr.  Bullen  will  go- 
further  than  it  implies.  His  feast  of  old  atir* 
new  suggests  to  us  the  sentiment  in  which  the 
cleverest  of  the  Latin  poets  expressed  his  pre- 
dilections:— 

Landamus  veterea,  red  nostris  utinmrannis. 
We  shall  look  forward   to   Thi-.   Onitlanrtn'n  each- 
month  with  a  new  inlereat.and  notice  with  pleasure 
another  accession   to   the    lionoitrable   iiiiiiority  ot 
fugitive  publioations  worth  reading.

8T.  MICHAEL'S  CHURCH.  BURLEIGH 

STREET. 

It  is  not  often  Umt  the  City  of  Westminster 

ItaB  witne.ssed  the  extinction  of  a  church,  no 

that  when  tliia  rare  event  happens  it  is  well 

that  a  note  should  be  made  ot  ita  occurrence. 

The  atilitarian  tendencies  of  the  present  day 

«re  found  all  around  u».  and  they  are  to  be 

tuet  with  in  matters  occloHiastical  as  well  as 

in  tilings  of  a  more  worldly  nature.     Within 

the  la.st  few  years  the  old-world  chapel  of 

St.  Mutthow,  in  Spring  Gardens ;   Hanover 

Church  (formerly  Uhapel),  on  the  west  side 

of  ReRcnt  Street,  between  Hanover  Street 

And  Prinuea  Street ;  and  St.   Piiilip's,  in  the 

same  Htreet,  near  Waterloo  Place,  liave  gone  ; 

«nd  now  St.Michacl'H,  Burleigh  Street, Strand, 

hat  been  doomed  to  follow  in  their  wake. 

Wo  are  tuld  that  the  street  was  formed  in 

)7H,  "on    the    site    of    Cecil,    Burleigh,   or 

Ireter   Hou'<o,    the    town   renidenco   of    Sir 

William  Cecil,  the  great  Lord  Burleigh,  and 

hit  eldest  hod  Tliomas,  afterwards  E-irl  of 

(xotor";    and    that    the    street    is    on    tliu 

'north   Slide    of    the    Strumi,    leading    into 

ravi«tock  Street."    The  street  itself  stems  to 


be  of  inconsiderable  note,  but  it  may  be  said 
that  in  it  are  situated  the  ofHces  of  The 
Gttardiun,  and  the  royal  and  private  en- 
trance.s  to  the  Lyceum.  The  church  of 
St.  Michael  is  .situated  at  the  corner  of 
Burleigh  Street  and  Exeter  Street.  How  it 
came  to  bo  built  at  all  seems  at  the  present 
day  to  be  something  akin  to  a  mystery,  for 
as  tliis  locality  is  full  of  churches,  llie  spot, 
even  in  its  most  palmy  days,  could  hardly 
have  needed  another.  But  it  was  built,  and 
was  long  known  as  St.  Michaers  Chapel, 
being  a  chapel-of  ea^^e  to  the  churcli  of 
St.  ^[artinin-lhe-Fields.  It  was  designed 
hy  Mr.  James  Savage,  and  may  be  taken,  on 
the  whole,  as  a  fairly  good  example  of  the 
Gothic  of  the  thirteenth  century  according 
to  the  ideas  of  the  early  nineteenth  century. 
It  is  perhaps  best  descril^ed  by  the  word 
"  neat,''  for  it  is  almost  entirely  devoid  of 
ornament.  It  was  consecraterj  on  20  Sep- 
tember, 18.3.3,  by  the  then  Bishop  of  Lomlon 
(Dr.  Bloiutield)  ;  consequently  it  is  under 
seventy-three  years  old.  In  1848  it  wa^s 
established  as  a  "perpetual  curacy,'  and 
under  the  Bishop  of  Oxford's  Act,  in  18GS,  a 
vicarage  was  attaclied  to  the  church. 

Although  a  comparatively  modern  church, 
it  has  not,  in  some  degree,  lacked  associa- 
tions of  an  interesting  character,  ilany 
well  know ri  people  have  at  different  times 
shown  their  kindly  regard  for  it  and  those 
who  ministered  there.  Tito  Duke  of  Bedford 
presented  tlie  site  for  tiie  vicarage,  and  at 
various  times  successive  dukes  liave  con- 
tributed largely  to  the  funds  required  for 
the  due  celebration  of  divine  worship.  The 
Baroness    Burdett-Coutts,     in     conjunction 

with  some  of  the  parishioners,  gave  the  east 

window,  in  memory  of  the  great  Duke  of 
Wellington,  the  window  being  a  very  fair 
specimen  of  the  stained  glass  of  the  period  ; 
and  Mr.  Gladstone  gave  a  ready  support  to 
many  of  the  works  connected  with  the 
church  and  parish. 

There  are  only  three  tablets  upon  the  walls 
of  the  cliurcli,  all  of  them  being  on  the  south 
wall.  The  first  in  importance  is  of  bronze, 
of  gooii  design  and  excellent  workmanship, 
and  records  tliat  it  was  placed  there

On  the  east  wall  were  formerly  to  be  seen 
the  Ton  Coiamandments,  Creed,  and  Lord's 
Prayer  ;  but  at  one  of  the  renovations  they 
were  done  away  with,  and  in  their  place 
appears  "Jesus  Christ,  the  same  yesterday, 
to-day,  yea  and  for  ever."  In  the  sanctuary 
are  two  fine  old  chairs,  formerly  in  Durham 
Castle,  when  the  residence  of  the  bishops  of 
the  famous  see.  There  is  a  gallery  round 
three  sides  of  the  church,  the  organ  at  one 
time  being  at  the  west  end,  but  now  standing 
on  the  north  side  of  the  sanctuary.  It  is  a 
very  good  instrument,  and  has  been  renovated 
at  various  times.  The  pulpit  is  also  of  some 
interest,  and  thoroughly  in  keeping  with  its 
>iurruunding9. 

One  thing  strikes  the  visitor  as  rather 
peculiar  in  the  situation  of  the  church.  As 
you  approach  itj  it  seems  as  though  you  were 


coming  to  the  west  end,  the  steeple  beu; 
by  the  side,  as  usual  ;  but  on  entering  joa 
find  that  it  is  theeastend,  t'  -  ■  -  -r  bMOg 
in  the  unusual  situation  uf  -  9oatii> 

east.  On  the  south  and  west  ^.■..  ,v  is  dote 
to  other  buildings,  the  gallery  on  tlie  watli 
side  bein§  lighted  by  small  octagon  akjHgbt*^ 
there  being  no  wall  window^ ;  the  north 
gallery  is  lighted  by  wiudowa  overlooking 
Exeter  Street. 

Since  the  consecration  of  the  cbui-ch  lIiat* 
have  been  only  1,127  baptisms,  gi .  a 

little  over  15  as  the  yearly  avei^  .h 

seems  to  indicate  with  tolerable  cie»rtiett 
that  a  church  wa^i  never  needed  at  thia  spo^ 
Marriages  were  first  celebrated  here  in  I'mt 
Some  years  ago  an  attempt  wsm  unsucce 
fuU^'  made  to  unite,  or  rather  reunite, 
pariah  with  St.  Martin's- in- the- Fields  ; 
the  parish  has  now  ceased  to  have  a  aepar 
existence,  being  amalgamated  with  St.  Tat 
Covent  Garden,  the  Bishop  of  Lood( 
heeding  the  petition  presented  agata 
project.  Perhaps  he  could  i..,.-.Ji^  j^ 
wise,  as  the  residential   i 

to  have  all  bat  reached  va,: ^  {jqioI, 

it    being    thought  that    the    charcfa   iraitJil 
bo    more    useful    in    a    populous   rabsr 
district. 

The  closing  services  were  FieW  <m  Saodty, 
10    September    last,    the    preacher    in    the 
morning  being  the  Rev.  W.  H.  HuoV,  who 
had  ministered  here  for  some  time,  and  w^ti>  i 
appears  to  have  worked    hard  to  keep  l\\o| 
scanty  congregation  together.     He  seems  ' 
be   a  man  of    singular    ability   botli    as 
preacher  and  organizer.  The  evening  pn 
was  the  Rev.  E.  H.  Mosse,  rector  of  St. 
Covent  Garden,   who  had    been    cur 
charge  since  the  late  vicar,  the  Rev,   A. 
Poynder,   was    presenteil    to    t)ie   living 
St.  Mary's,  Whiteehapel.     There   were  fiktr 
congregations    at    both    service*,    at   which 
si)ecial  hymns,  written  by  Mrs.  Moese  and 
her  sister.  Miss  Cameron,  were   "sune.     TTie

UALLAl)  BY  REGINALD  HEBER. 

You  may  care  to  have  a  note  of  an  ex- 
tremely Hcarce  book  by  the  man  who  became 
liishop  of  Calcutta.  It  is  entitled  '  A  Ikllad 
by  the  ll<!vil.  Reginald  Heber,  late  Bishop  of 
■Calcutta,'  and  is  printed  in  lithography  by 
W.  Crane,  of  Chester,  an  ancestor  of  the  Mr. 
"Walter  Crane  of  to-day.  The  page  next  to 
tho  title  reads  as  follows :  "  An  Old  and 
Approved  Receipt  for  liaising  the  Devil, 
founded  on  Tradition,  and  now  OfTered  to 
tho  Public  by  An  Amateur  of  The  Black 
Arte." 

The  poem  is  in  nine  verses,  as  follows  :— 

1. 

Attend,  yc  (;ay  danics,  to  tho  tale  I  am  tellinfr, 
Of  proud  Oinas  Bran  and  the  wealthy  Llewellyn, 
Whoso  Jieart  was  intent  upon  witchcraft  and  evil. 
And  he  never  could  sleep  but  he  dreamt  of  the  Devil. 

2. 
True,    tho   soul    of   Llewcllya    was   Rlad  beyond 

measure 
As  ho  cloud)   to   his   turret,  and   hung  o'er  his 

treasure 
His  vassals  thronged  round  him  obsequious  in  duty, 
And  bright  was  tho  morn  of  his  Imosen's  beauty ; 
But  ho  swore  that  tho  ideasures  oi  life  he  would 

spurn  all. 
Could  he  compass  a  sight  of  his  Highness  Infenial. 

3. 
He  turned  o'er  the  books  of  his  Elders  in  sin. 
And  found  that  with  murder  ho  first  must  begin, 
SSo  the  Vicar  he  slew,  nor  with  Hell  was  he  daunted. 
Fur  wiio  could  fear  Hell  who  wished  to  be  haunted  ? 

4. 
Ho  plucked  uiTlhe  wig  with  his  homicide  hands. 
And  lie  niuttonul  fell  cnarms  as  he  tore  off  his  bands, 
And  lie  severed  the  head  as  the  head  of  a  Swine, 
And  dire  was  the  snort  of  the  groaning  divine. 
I  ben  he  soused  tho  broad  cheeks  in  a  Caldron  so 

hot 
Till  the  Vicar- Broth  bubbled  and  boiled  in  the  Pot. 


Three  ling  ring  days  in  the  magical  kettle. 
He  allowed  the  la«t  leee  of  the  nonucall  to  Kttk 
Then  bade  the  wwrm  breath  of  the  neatilent  Sua 
To  bleach  the  dice  grave-waz  which  deatk  M 

begun. 

& 
?V*A^  Tfi*"  hi«  jtaggor  the  atrong  anieningtati, 
And  Oh  !  with  whattranaport  he  tamed  npain))! 
He  caught   the  dear  reptile,   and    kined  it  aid 

nursed  it. 
And  laid  it  up  warm  in  a  atocking  of  wonted 
And  bade  it  increaae  tUI.  my  tale  to  cat  abort  oIL 
It  grew  to  a  Dragon  whoae  poison  waa  mortal

The  first  question  that  suggests  itself  is 
Who  was  W.  Crane  ?  The  bisiliop  was  bora 
at  Alalpas  Vicarage,  Cheshire,  on  21  April, 
178.3,  and  left  England,  on  hia  appointmcot 
to  Calcutta,  in  1823,  and  died  anddeniy  at 
Trichinopoly  on  3  April,  1826.  As  he  is  de- 
scribed as  "late  Bishop  of  Calcutta  "  on  the 
title-page  of  the  poem,  the  book  was  ap- 
parently printed  after  1826.  Thomas  Cnuie, 
bookseller,  was  sworn  free  of  Chester  City  on 
13  October,  1812.  Messrs.  T.  &  W.  Crane 
were  the  lithographers  for  the  extremely 
scarce  first  edition  of  Mr.  Rowland  Egerton- 
Warburton's  'Hunting  Songs'  in  1836.  It  is 
therefore  likely  that  W.Crane  carried  on  the 
work  after  his  partner's  death.  I  should  be 
glad  of  more  definite  information  on  these 
topics.  T.  Cann  Hughes,  M.A.,  F.S.A.

New  Moon  :  Fortunate  ok  Unfortuxate.

folk-lore.  Periiapa  the  following  is  wortli 
inserting  iu  *  N.  i  Q.'  :  — 

"The  I'ioud  Wiimen  [it.,  of  tlie  Jews]  take

burn,  either  cleerly.  or  dimly:  which,  certainly,  is, 
m  kind  of  Pyromancy.  These  women  are  very 
careful  Klan,  to  iee  lh»t  these  Lights  be  everyway 
Pellucid,  and  shine  with  an  £<iual  Flanie  :  which  is 
tlie  I'rue  Reason  also,  as  I  conceive,  why  they  do  Bo 
much  aliluir  Levanab,*  the  Moon,  when  it  is 
Horned  ;  itnd  aUo  fori>ear  in  do  any  niunner  of 
Uusinesi,  or  Worke,  in  the  Xew-Moones,  when  as 
but  a  Pjirt  of  it  is  enlii;hl«ned,  towards  us:  and 
this  was  the  Reaaoii,  that  there  woa  Anciently  a 
Propitiatory  Sacrifico  used  to  be  offered,  in  the 
Temple,  al  this  time,  which  was  Niipposed  might

couiit4  them  to  lie  mimt  Fortanate  ;  ea|iecially  if

He  Rivet  any  Ren-ion,  why  it  should  be  so  ;  nor  any

DioxiTiEs  Herkditary  C'reatkd,  not 
Made.  (See  8"'  S.  iii  240,)— The  same  petti- 
fogging attempt  to  draw  a  distinction 
between  the  creation  of  peerages  and 
baronetcies,  called  attention  to  in  1893,  has 
been  again  revived  in  the  account  given  to 


the  papers  of  the  presentations  at  the  recent 
levee,  every  new  peer  being  described  ao 
"  created,"  and  every  new  baronet  a« 
"made"!  It  seems  needless  to  repeat  that 
such  a  distinction  has  no  foundation  in  the 
patents  creating  the  two  classes  of  dignities, 
as  all  questions  relating  to  the  dignity  uf  a 
baronet  are,  under  their  letters  patent,  to  be 
determined  as  if  they  related  to  one  of  the 
other  dignities  hereditary.  Court  function- 
aries might  be  expected  to  know  tbeir 
business  sufficiently  well  to  give  correct 
information  to  the  public  press.

Devon  and  Coenish  Speech :  "DiMrsr":

"diinmits."  In  Mrs.  Hewetts  *  Peanaut 
Speech  of  Devon '  (1892)  the  use  of  these  wor<J9 
is  illustrated  thus  :  "'Ees  sure  !  I  'II  be  'ume

The  German  Emperor  and  Poets 
Laureate.— Isaac  Disraeli,  in  his  '  Curiosi- 
ties of  Literature,' speaking  of  Poets  Laureate, 
says:  "The  Emperor  of  Germany  retains 
the  Laureateship  in  all  its  splendour.  The 
selected  bard  i'i  called  ii  i>oeta  Cenario." 

Taking  it  for  granted  that  Disraeli  was  a 
reliable  authority  on  literary  subjects,  espe- 
cially such  as  come  under  the  head  of 
"curiosities,"  I  quoted  the  above  statement 
in  ray  '  History  of  Britiali  Poetry.' 

An  eminent  member  of  the  Royal  Belgian 
.\caderay  iia.s  written  to  me  on  the  subject, 
casting  a  doubt  on  the  accuracy  of  the 
assertion.     He  also  says  ;  — 

"It  aeems  very  doubtful  to  mo  whether  th« 
Gcrnian  lOnijieror  would  give  an  Italian  title  to  the 
holder  of  a  post  of  honour  in  iii«  empire.  Therefore 
I  consulted  a  Uennan  scholar,  whose  answer  to  my 
question  runs  as  follows:  'The  poasoKe  referred 
to  ill  Corbett'a  'History  of  Briliah  Poetry'  is, 
without  a  doubt,  wrong.  It  is  well  known  that 
the  (iernian  Ktnperor  favours  a  few  jHHits,  aJi,  f.i , 
Wildeiibruch,  Jos.  Liuff  (author  of  Hohen/.oflern 
dramas,  &c.).  There  cannot  be  any  (jueslion  what- 
ever of  a  crowning,  though.  Neither  did  any  of  my 
colleagues  of  whom  1  ininiired  know  anything  of  an 
instituiioaof  the  kind,  'there  nmst  dtntbtlossly  exist 
a  mistake  on  this  head,  rossibly  Mr.  Curbelt  was 
thinking  of  the  Kmperors  of  the  Mi<tdle  Ages, 
who  crowned  several  poets.  But  then  the  word 
"retains"  would  not  be  right.  >  Perhai>8  he  has 
been  thinking  of  the  festive  performances  at  Wies- 
baden, where  every  year  draiua<i  by  Lauff  are  jKsr- 
formed,  the  last  time  "Burggraf  von  Nurnberg," 
on  which  occasions  the  Kraperor  honours  the  author 
L>y  his  special  attention.'  But  of  a  crowning  of  the 
poet  tliero  can  )>e  no  possible  ijuestion.  I  at  least 
can  find  no  proof." 

As  it  is  not  tni/  accuracy,  but  that  of 
D'lsraeli,  which  is  called  in  ciuestioii,  the 
matter  is  interesting,  and  I  slialt  bo  grateful 
if  any  of  your  readers  can  throw  light  ui>on 
the  subject.  Presumably  Disraeli  iiad  .lome 
reason  for  making  the  statement.  I  have 
consulted  some  of  the  most  eminent  authori- 
ties on  this  side  of  the  Channel,  but,  like 
myself,  they  are  unal)le  either  to  confii'ia  or 
contradict  the  assertion.

Sitt  Thomas  Plavek.— The  articles  in  the 
•  Dictionary  of  National  liingraphy  '  relating 
to  the  two  men  of  this  name,  father  and  son, 
nectl  a  little  correction,  and  are  capable  of 
amplitication  as  follows  :  Sir  Thomas  Player, 
ibe  elder,  must  havn  been  Iwrn  before  1608, 
And  waa  therefore  probably  not  the  same  as 
Thomas,  ton  of  Itobort  i'layer,of  Canterbury, 


who  took  his  M.A.  degree  at  St.  Alban's  Hall, 
Oxford,  in  IG.3.3.  Sir  Thomas  Pjayer,  the 
younger,  was  married  to  Joyce  Kendall,  at 
llackney,  on  20  April,  1639,  at  which  time 
his  father  must,  presuraabb',  have  been  over 
forty  3'ears  of  age.  and  was  therefore  bora 
before  1600.  Sir  Thomas  Player,  the  elder, 
had  a  brother  Simoti  Player,  a  citizen  and 
homer  of  London,  who  predeceased  hira, 
leaving  issue,  and  whose  will  was  proved  in 
the  P  C.C.  If  these  were  not  the  sons  of 
Jlobert  Player,  of  Canterbury,  whence  did 
they  spring  ?  Sir  Thomas  Player,  the  younger, 
like  his  father,  was  of  Hackney,  in  Middlesex, 
where  they  are  buried.  A  tombstone  at 
Hackney  reads  as  follows  : — 

Here  lye  ye  Body  of  ISr.  Thomas  Flnyer,  Jun. 

who  ilyed  ye  Iflih  uf  .JaniiArv.  1(185  6, 

and  of  Dame  Joyce  PUyer,  (lis  wife, 

who  dyed  ye  '2nd  iJecomber,  1686. 

Sir  Thomas  Player,  the  younger,  seems  to 
have  left  no  issue.  His  will  and  that  of  his 
widow  were  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Court 
of  Canterbury.  These  distinguished  citizens 
of  London  bore  the  same  arms  as  the  Player 
family  of  Gosport  and  Fareham,  in  Hamp- 
shire (whose  pedigree  is  recorded  in  Berry's 
'Hants  Genealogies'),  and  must  have  been 
nearly  related  to  them,  for  the  descendants 
of  the  Ilampshiro  family  possess  as  heirlooms 
a  miniature  portrait  of  Sir  Thomas  Player, 
the  younger,  as  well  as  tlie  ceremonial  sword 
used  by  him  as  Chamberlain  of  London.

doubt,  the  man  referred  to  by  A.  C.  T.  His 
life  is  Riven  at  some  lengtli  in  '  D.N.B.,' 
xxxiii.  135.  Born  in  the  West  Indies,  of  a 
Quaker  family,  on  22  Nov.,  1744,  he  was  the 
twin  son  of  a  mother  who  bore  twins  six 
times.  He  was  educated  in  England,  and 
eventually  became  the  most  popular  and 
fa.shionable  phyHician  in  Ix)ndon,  a  posUiou 
which  he  iield  until  his  death  ou  1  Nov., 
1815. 

I  cannot  find  that  the  lines  alluded  to  in 
the  query  have  ever  appeared  in  'N.  &Q.,' 
but  they  are  well  known,  and  ran  as 
follows  : — 

When  any  sick  to  me  apply, 
I  tihysicks,  bleeds,  anci  evreats  'em  ; 

If  &tt«r  that  they  choose  to  die. 
What 's  that  to  me?— I.  Lettaom. 

Dr.  Lettsom  was  one  of  the  founders  in 
1773  of  the  Medical  Society  of  London,  to 
whicli  he  gave  in  1784  his  freehold  house, 
No.  3,  Bolt  Court,  Fleet  Street— often,  but 
erroneously,  said  to  have  beIonge<l  to  Dr. 
Johnson,  who  really  lived  (and  died)  at 
No.  8.  Holt  Court.  The  latter  house  stoo<l 
opposite  to  No.  .3,  and  was  destroyed  by  fire 
in  11^19  The  tablet  still  over  the  doorway 
of  No.  3  is  the  one  which  I)r.  Lettsora  liim- 
self  directed  to  l>e  put  there.  It  bears  on 
the  ribbon  at  tho  top  the  name  of  the 
Society.  The  central  figure  standing  in 
front  of  a  pyramid  is  the  Isis  of  Saia,  the 
revealer  of  the  secrets  of  nature,  who 
presided  over  medicine,  which  she  is  said  to 
Lave  invented,  she  having  discovered  the 
virtue  of  the  healing  plants.  The  Sphinx  on 
either  side  of  her  and  the  coiled  serpent 
repre.sent  eternity.  Within  the  circle  l>eneath 
her  feet  is  an  inscription  written  in  Greek 
capitals,  which  translated  reads ;  "  I  am 
whatever  ia,  or  has  been,  or  will  be  ;  and  no 
mortal  has  hitherto  drawn  aside  my  veil."

The  allusioD  is  to  Dr.  Lettsom,  born  in  the 
West  Indies  in  1744.  After  receiving  his 
me<lical  education  he  returned  to  Tortola, 
his  native  place,  and  emancipated  his  slaves, 
thus  reducing  himself  to  voluntary  poverty. 

To  the  lampoon  on  him  his  friend  Sir  J. 
Martin  answered  : — 


Such  Bwarms  of  patients  do  to  me  apply. 

Did  I  not  tiractise,  some  would  surely  die. 

"fis  truo,  I  ])urge  some,  bleed  some,  sweat  some. 


Admit  I  expedite  a  few,  still  many  call. 
I.  f^ttsom. 

He  introduced  into  Enj^land  the  mangel 
wurzel,  and  wrote,  inter  alia,  a  book  upon  the 
medical  qualities  of  tea  and  the  effects  of  tear 
drinking.  See  Munk,  'Iloll  of  the  Royal 
College  of  Surgeons,'  vol.  ii.  p  287.

In  the  early  years  of  last  century  no  name 
was  better  known  in  Camberwell  than  that 
of  Dr.  John  Coakley  Lettsom.  He  wrote  on 
various  subjects  outside  his  profession,  and 
most  of  this  work,  as  well  as  the  writing  of 
private  letters,  he  accomplished  while  driving 
about  to  see  his  patients.  Men  etnineut  m 
the  world  of  letters  and  of  medicine  were 
entertained  in  his  princely  house  on  Grove 
Hill  (the  well  of  Camber,  to  which,  as  some 
antiquaries  think,  the  borough  of  Camber- 
well  owes  its  name,  was  on  hi.*  property) ; 
and  Bosweli  celebrated  the  amenities  of  the 
house  and  the  character  of  Lettsora  in  an 
'Ode  toCharle.i  Dilly.'  J.  Geigor.

some  verses  by  Bosweli,  written  to  Charles 
Dilly.  "celebrating  at  onco  the  beauties  of 
the  physician's  country  seat  and  its  owner's 
humane  disposition."  Lettsom 's  'Life  and

publisiiing  a  defence  of  Oraiiii's  attempt  to 
as^asxinate  Napoleon  III.  Aimong  tlioi^e  wlio 
ublicly  subscribed  were  Harriet  Martineau, 
olin  Stuart  Mill,  and  Prof.  F.  W.  Newman.

with  a  collection  of  others  on  the  same 
subject.  These  I  showed  to  Ilolyoake  one 
Sunday  when  ho  came  to  visit  me  at 
ray  house  at  Streathani.  He  was  greatly 
interested,  and  told  me  that  the  pamphlet 
'Tyrannicide' had  been  otFered  to  him,  and 

fave  me  his  reasons  for  not  publi^ihittg  it. 
le,  however,  published  a  translation  nf 
Pyat's  'Letter  to  the  Parliament  and  the 
Press.' 

Bradlaugh  lectured  a.s  Iconoclast  to  shield 
himself  in  hia  weekday  employment,  antl  he 
made  use  of  the  name  until  his  first  content 
at  Northampton  in  18U8. 

Mrs.  Holyottke  Marsh  tells  nie  that  her 
father's  pseudonyni  on  77ie  Leader  iiowg- 
pa|)er  (about  1850)  was  "Ion":  "This  is 
probably  what  lias  confuted  Xfr..  Hems,  but 
I  ftgreo  with  you  in  thinkinp;  that  my  fattier 
never  lectured  under  the  name  of  *Ioa.' 
Bradlaugh  was  '  Iconoclast.'  " 

I  should  like  to  say  one  word  as  to  Holy- 
oake'ii  great  charm  of  manner.  Tie  was  a 
perfect  gentleman,  as  all  will  testify  who 
enjoyed  hia  friendship. 

Jobs  C.  Francis. 

Mr.  Harry  Hem-^  is  mistaken  concerning 
the  late  O.  J.  Holyonke.  and  his  having 
lecture<l  under  the  name  of  Iconoclast.  Mu 
Hems's  memory  has  failed  him  in  substituting 
Holyoako  for  Charles  I^rarllaugh,  who  did 
use  tliat  uamo  both  at  the  time  and  place 
referred  to.  Tlie  following  will  be  ample  to 
prove  the  error. 

•The  Life  of  Charles  Bradiaugh,'  by 
Hypatia  Bradlaugh  -  lionner,  1894,  vol.  i. 
p.  42,  Hays  that  about  1854  Charles  Brad- 
laugh 

"  took  the  name  of  '  Iconoclast."  nnderth«  thin  veil

his  own  rmiiie,  whatever  the  subject  he  was  dealine 
wiih.  An  npitearance  of  ooncealmenl  was  dread- 
fully irkRome  to  him,  though  >ti  18.'>4  he  had  very

Bradlaugh  lecture*!  at  Sheffield  in  1858. 
and  went  there  again  and  again.  "Slieflield 
almost  adopted  the  j'oung  'Iconoclast'  as 
their  own  "  (p.  119}.  A  perusal  of  any  of  thf 
avesjof  Bradlaugh  will  show  that  the  Sheffield 


lectures  were  delivered  by  him  under  that 
KOHi  de  ffiterre,  and  not  by  Qeoigo  Jacob 
Holyoake.  In  no  instance  can  I  find  in  any 
of  the  late  G.  J.  Holyoake's  writings  a  claim 
that  he  either  in  writing  or  lecturing  adopted 
the  name  Iconoclast.  He  was  in  the  early 
times  referred  to  associated  with  Mr.  Brad- 
laugh,  and  as  a  matter  of  fact  on  10  Oct., 
1830,  took  the  chair  for  the  youthful  orator 
at  his  lecture  delivered  at  Phil  pot  (Street, 
Commercial  Road  (Bonner's  'Life,'  vol.  L 
p.  22).  JoSEI'II  COLYER  MAnRlOTT.

Surely  Mr.  HarrvHems  is  wrong  in  say- 
ing that  at  one  periotl  of  his  life  Sir.  Holy- 
oake lectured  under  the  name  of  Iconoclast. 
Every  person  of  middle  age  or  upwards,  who 
has  taken  any  interest  in  the  political  and 
theological  controversies  of  the  middle  of  last 
century,  will  be  aware,  that  at  that  time  the 
late  Charles  Bradlaugh,  M.P.,  was  known  by 
the  above  assumed  name.  I  have  in  my 
possession  a  small  pamphlet,  'Autobiography 
of  Mr.  C  Bradlaugh,'  in  wl.ich  the  author 
gives  a  sketch  of  his  life— mainly  relating  to 
matters  theological— up  to  the  early  seventies. 
On  p.  8  he  says  : — 

"It  was  tiieii  [J8.V3]  I,  to  in  ■<■  aroid

My  almost  lifelong  friend  Mr.  Henry 
Gougft,  barrister  of  the  Midtile  Templo,  and 
well  known  as  an  historical  and  heraldic 
antiquary,  now  living  at  lledhill  in  his 
eighty  fourth  year,  was  one  of  the  great 
army  of  special  constables  in  Lomlon  in 
1848.  He  still  retains  one  of  two  batons 
given  to  him:  it  is  of  oak,  18i  inciies  long  j

It  13  no  cause  for  fnurprise  that  the  author 
or  authors  of  tlie  (so  called)  'Secret  HisUjry

this  matter,  and  that  reference  to  the  subject 
was  aiw  made  in  The  fJfaminer,  one  of  tlie 
organs  of  the  extreme  lUdical  party.  I'erhaps 
some  further  enli^fttenment  could  be  ob- 
tained from  the  M8.  note-books  of  Charles

PkACOCK  Xa  A  (/HRISTIAN  S'i'MBOL  (10"'  S.  V. 
69,  130,  177).— At  the  fienultiniate  reference 
I  confessed  my  ignorance  of  the  meaning  of 
"peacock  enkakyll."  The  last  word  is  a 
ghost-word,  and  what  is  meant  is  clearly  a 
•'peacock  in  hakyll."  »>., in  hackle.  "Hackle" 
Iiero  evidently  stands  for  feathers  in  general, 
and  not  merely  for  neck-feathers,  though 
this  wider  meaning  is  not  given  in  any  dic- 
tiooary  I  have  seen.  "  Pekok  in  hakell  "  was 
the  third  dish  of  the  second  course  at  the 
marriage  feast  of  King  Henry  VII.  (Camdcti 
Soc.,  1  S.  xx.wii.  115;.  It  may  bo  of  intero.st 
to  mention  that  about  that  time  a  peacock 
was  worth  Is  ,  a  swan  3«  4(^,  a  goose  -vl ,  an<l 
a  heron  Ad;  while  cliicken'*,  woodcock,  and

Doubtful  Pronunciations  (lO""  S.  v,  147). 
— The  question  raised  herein  is  as  old  as  the 
hills,  and  promises  to  be  as  eternal.  When 
I  was  a  boy  we  looked  to  the  clergy  as 
authorities  in  pronunciation.  Yet  in  one 
parish  the  parson  would  tell  us  to  "ack  ;(oW- 
edgo  and  confess,"  and  in  the  next  parish  we 
were  bidden  to  "ackwij-ledge  and  confess."" 
No.  1  woulil  read  his  fn-st  lesson  from  Deuter- 
f>n  omy ;  No.  2  would  announce  it  as  fron> 
Dcutero  Mo-my  ;  while  alwut  half  the  clergy 
said  "either"  and  the  other  half  *'eether," 
And  tliere  wo  were,  and  there  we  are  !  A 
venerable  story  up  hero  in  the  north  makes 
a  pit  lad  ask  his  father  which  is  right, 
"  either  "  or  "eether,"  and  the  father  answers 
that  "owther"  will  do.  But  is  Dit.  Smyth E

corrected  at  school  Rome  forty -five  years  ago 
for  pronouncing  wroth  so.  Tlie  latter  must 
be  obsoletf,  or  obsolescent,  but  not  the 
former.     Wliat  is   the  orthodox   theological 

fronunciation  of  the  **,Slou(jh  of  DespomJ  " 
know  not ;  but  the  word  is  more  frequently 
used  in  surgery  than  in  any  other  subject, 
and  when  used  in  this  connexion  is  invariably 
pronounced  to  rime  with  rouijh.  I  have  been 
told  that  //  is  always  long  and  accented  (as 
in  fiapi/iiis)  when  it  represents  the  Greek

-speak  had  to  change  their  favours,  and  in 
some  cases  their  neckties,  on  the  journey- 

I  am  an  ardent  Tory,  and  arrived  in  Liver- 
TK>ol,  about  the  same  date,  to  find  that  ttie 
1)1  ue  tie  worn  by  me  was  the  mark  of  the

<"True  Ulue'")as  the  mark  of  tbe  Conserva- 
tive and  Unionist,  red  for  Liberals  and 
Kadicals  (unless  the  former  prefer  the  old 
colour  of  buff,  yellow,  or  orange),  and  green 
for  Nationalists?  Heebebt  JSoutham. 

In  Bassetlaw  Tories  were  bloe.  Liberals 
yellow.  In  tlie  neighbouring  constituency 
of  Gainsborough  it  in  the  reverse.  It  is  Tory 
ijlue  and  Liberal  yellow  in  Derbyshire  ;  and 
I  wpll  remember  how.  many  years  ago,  these 
colours  were  "flown"  at  Derbyshire  elec- 
tions on  a  very  large  scale,  many  men  flaunt- 
ing long  streamers  from  their  head  wear,  botli 
Wue  and  yellow,  besides  rosettes  on  their 
breasts.  '•  Yaller  for  iver  '  "  was  the  cry  of 
■one  party  ;  "  True  blue  for  iver  ! "  the  cry  on 
the  other  side,  with,  for  a  change.  "  Up  with 
the  Whigs,  and  down  with  the  Tories,"  and 
"  Blue  'a  up.  Yellow's  down."

writen,  *'  I  received  a  cramp  ring  of  gold." 
In  1*311  cramp  rings  were  worn  with  agates

Mr.  MiTRcn  states  that  he  finds  no  exposi-

tiiacovering  enchantments.  Elworthy,  in  his 
interesting  work  on  'The  Evil  Eye'  (.Murray,

Martin  Delrio,  of  Lou  vain,  1003,  in  which  tlie

by  characters,  rings,  or  images  there  is  power 
to  perform  miracles.  The  discussion  is 
closed  with  the  remark,  "  Respondeo  stul-

Jenkyn,  Little  Jojin,  ifcc.  (10"'  S.  v.  109, 
155)  —I  thank  Lady  Ru.ssell  for  her  reply. 
The  lines  she  quotes  are  ahnost  identical  witli 
those  of  the  Cornish  version,  except  that  in 
the  Cornish  we  send  the  ofTender  to  "Jamaica 
to  make  apple  pies"— a;>/)^<;  pies  being  pre- 
sumably a  traditional  corruption. 

With  respect  to  the  spelling  of  the  name 
Meriasek,  Lady  IIu.ssell  has  overlooked  the 
fact  that  this  is  the  fJorniah  form  of  the 
Breton  Meriadec  or  Meriatloc.  The  '  Beuiians 
Meriasek'  contains  both  forms.  The  church 
of  Camborne,  in  Cornwall  was  "ecclesia 
S.  Meriadoci,"  but  the  frequenters  of  the 
holy  well  nearby  (for  jjreven tion  of  madness) 
were  known  till  its  recent  destruction  as 
"  Merrasickers," 

But  the  point  is  why  Jenkin  and  Little 
John  are  used  in  preference  to  Peterkin,  or 
Little  Bob,  or  any  other  name.  Their  preva- 
lence shows  tliat  there  must  be  some  good 
reason  for  the  practice.  Ygueo. 

If  any  one  desires  to  read  a  graphic  and 
particular  account  of  the  mumming  as 
practise<i  in  Dorsetshire  and  the  parts 
adjacent,  let  me  refer  him  to  'The  Return  of

vii.  3r>9-78.  As  no  special  reason  is  inen- 
tioncfl  why  Thomas  Archer  was  rai!<eci  to  the 
peerage,  one  may  asmume  that  llie  Itunour 
was  given  to  him  for  tlie  reasons  that  he  was 
the  heir  of  an  ancient  and  important  family, 
that  his  great-grandfather,  grandfailier,  and 
father  had  been  members  of  Parliament,  and 
that  he  himself  had  been  a  member  for  some 
thirteen  ye&rts.  Collins  sayis  that  he  was 
chosen  member  for  the  town  of  Warwick  in 
the  Parliament  which  waa  summoned  to  meet 
on  13  June,  1734.  Apparently  that  Parlia- 
ment Hat  first  on  busiiie^^  on  23  Jauuary, 
1734;5.  Tlie  coat  of  arms,  &c.,  follow  the 
letterpress.  There  are  references  to  the 
Archers  in  other  volumes  of  Collinu. 

The  account  of  llie  family  ig  reduced  to 
very  .small  proportions  in  Collins'a  'Peerage' 
continued  by  Sir  Egerton  Brydges,  1812. 
The  title  was  extinct  in  1778.

Fonseca's  Devout  Contkmplations,'  1620 
(10"'  S.  V.  101). —  In  putting  my  notes  to- 
gether I  find  that  I  omitted  to  mention  that 
Cervantes,  in  hi«  preface  to  'Don  Quixote,' 
roaketi  reference  to  Fonseca's  treatise  of  '  The 
Love  of  Go{l.'  Hero  are  hiij  words  (Lock- 
hart's  ed.,  1822)  :— 

"Bui  if  you  would  keep  nearer  homo,  it  ia  bol 
exaiiutiitift  Fonseca  of  divino  love,  which  you  have 
here  in  your  8ln<ly.  aud  you  need  go  no  farther  for 
all  that  can  be  aaid  on  that  co|iiou8  subject" 

I  find  also  among  my  notes  that  there  was 
an  edition  of  'The  Love  of  God  '  pubJiahed 
in  Salamanca  in  1592,  and  a  second  part,  in 
2  vols.  8yo,  in  Valencia  in  1608.  The  English 
translation  of  1652  can  scarcely  represent,  1 
think,  the  whole  of  the  work.  It  is  in 
12mo,  and  contains  only  2G8  pages.  Wo  are 
told  in  the  title-page,  "  Done  into  English 
with  much  Variation  and  some  Addition," 
from  which  we  may  infer  that  Sir  George 
Strode,  the  translator,  adapted  it  to  suit 
himself.  The  knight  dedicates  the  Iwok  to 
hia  "Dear  Children,"  and  if  ho  interidc<l  it 
seriously  for  youthful  reading,  then  all  I  can 
say  is  that  tlie  little  people  might  well  bo 
pardoned  if  they  soon  wearied  of  it.  The 
*  Devout  C\>ntemplation3'  is  one  «tf  the  very 
beHt  books  of  its  kind  I  have  ever  read.  How 
much  of  its  sparkle  and  raciness  it  owes  to 
the  translator  I  cannot  tell  ;  but  this  I  can 
«ay,  that  there  is  not  a  page  but  will  aflford 
•ome  passage  of  interest.  Sound  common 
•eD«e  aud   a  profound  insight    into  human 


character,  not  to  apeak  of  )%ca8ioDal  flaalml

which  was  cited  by  Heemestritde  at  7"'  S. 
viii.  507.  The  use  of  the  word  chare,  which 
is  employed  in  a  somewhat  similar  sense  in 
the  north  of  England,  was  dealt  witli  at 
7""  S.  viii.  307,  417,  4.'"..').  On  the  otlicr  hand, 
the  lato  Canon  Isaac  Taylor  stated  that  the 
n&me  was  derive<l  from  the  Cerrings, 
♦'a  widely  spread  Saxon  family'';  and 
Prof.  Skeat  fti>iort8  that  "  the  Ciiarings 
were  alike  named  from  the  Cerringas 
or  Ceorringas,  tlio  name  of  a  tribe  or  family, 
lit.  'the  sons  of  Ceorra.'"  Id  the  course  of 
a  somewhat  extended  reading  I  have  never 
come  across  the  family  of  the  Cerrings  or 
Ceorringas,  nor  do  1  know  whence  Canon 
Taylor  derived  the  notion  that  they  were 
"widely  spread."     As  for  Ceorra,   tlie  sup- 

{>osed  ancestor  of  the  family,  he  seems  to 
>ave  l>ecn  a  worthy  deacon  in  the  diocese  of 
Worcester,  who  may  or  may  not  have  founded 
a  family  ;  but  &•*  he  apparently  lived  about 
the  year  802,  the  charier  of  7'JD,  which  is  cited 
by  Peof.  Skeat,  and  mentions  Charing  in 
Kent,  can  acarcely  provo  that  that  place  was 
naujeii  after  his  descemlants.  Uf  course,  there 
may  have  been  some  other  Ceorra,  but  his- 
tory contains  no  record   of   him.     On    the 


whole,  the  probability  seems  to  be  that  "The 
Cherring"  simply  denoted  the  place  where 
the  road  or  river  made  a  turn,  as  it  does  both 
in  Middlesex  and  Kent.  Mr.  J.  H.  Ilouud  8 
remarks  on  the  sulKx  -ing  in  place-names 
may  be  read  with  great  advantage  (see  'The 
Settlement  of  the  South  and  East^Saxons* 
in  'The  Commune  of  London."  pp.  1-27).

"Vendicm"  (lO'"  S.  V.  148).-This  is  a 
Tamil  word.  In  Percival's  'Tamil  Dic-

as  "  Ventaimm,  a  i>\B.i\t—Tti</oneUa  finiuiu

cultivated  in  India  as  a  pot  herb,  cnn.sidered 
very  wholesome,  and  fur  its  seeds,  which  are 
u.seti  me<iicinally.  It  imparts  a  strong  odottif ' 
and  taste  to  curries.  Jas.  Platt,  Jun.

"Pogrom"  (10"'  S.  v.  149).— This  is  the 
technical  term  for  the  attacking  and  looting 
of  Russian  Jewries  by  mobs.  In  military 
use  the  voib  poi/rotnit  means  to  sack  a  city. 
The  derivation  is  no  doubt  from  i/roni, 
literally  "lightning,'  but  with  the  idea  of 
blasting  or  devastation. 

Jas.  Platt,  Jun. 

Russian  po<jrom^  with  stress  on  the  final 
syllable,  is  a  substantive  meaning  devasta- 
tion, destruction,  desolation.  A  verb  formed 
from  the  same  root  means  "to  pillage."' 
Orom  means  thunder,  noise,  din.  Mr.  Pier- 
point  loay  be  interested  to  know  that  the 
vowel  in  the  first  syllable  of  po</roia  being 
unstressed,  should  bo  pronounced  like 
short  a  Fred.  G.  Ackerley.

PoBTMAJJ  Family  (10'°  S.  v.  48,  150.  178).— 
No  doubt  the  Portman  family  were  originally 
settled  in  Somersetshire,  and  their  old  man- 
sion, containing  some  family  portraits,  yet 
remains  in  that  county  at  Pylle,  a  small 
village  near  Shepton  Mallet.  Some  twenty 
years  ago,  when  acting  as  locum  (eiun$  for  the 
then  rector,  I  saw  them.    The  church  had 


undergone  restoration,  and  the  memoriali 
(if  anv  had  existed)  of  the  family  had  de- 
parted. The  mansion  was  then  occupied  as 
a  farmhouse,  and  thepopal&tion  of  the  jMiri^h 
was  only  244.  The  taraily  aeata  are  dow  at 
Bryanston,  near  Blandfonl,  and  Orcliard 
Portman.  near  Taunton. 

Let  me  refer  to  Burke's  '  History  of  tlie 
Commoners,'  vol.  i.  62  (Colburii,  ISSff^  for 
an  account  of  the  family  in  early  daya.  T!i6 
Berkeleys  seem  to  have  brought  Pylle  into 
the  family,  and  then  to  have  assaated  tbe 
name  of  Portman.  Tliis  work,  iu  four

^■aotitliic  nmn,  the  pre  Celtic  atoneworker,  an.l  the 
^Hutia  workers  in  bronze  and  iron,  the  hiatonc 
PKwiotl  may  be  held,  perliapfi.  to  begin  with  the 
'  Roman  invaaion.  Thua  limited  even,  it  covera 
■omelhJng  like  a  thoHaand  years  from  th» advent 
of  CaiMr  to  that  of  William  the  Conqueror.  As  la 
well  aaid  in  the  opening  jphrase  of  the  aecond 
chapter  "  Down  to  the  middle  of  the  Hrat  century 
before  Christ  the  Uriliah  lalea  were  acarceir  more 
known  to  the  eivili/ed  uationa  of  Southern  Europe 
than  the  North  Pole  ia  to  the  men  of  our  own  day." 
Something  more  of  credit  haabeen  atlachecl  to  the 
early  diaooveriea  of  the  geograt.her  and  explorer 
Pythiaa,  but  nothing  very  definite  is  added  to  our 
knowledge  of  the  first  century  before  Christ,  aave 
the  reveiatioo,  by  the  aid  of  Sir  John  Evans  the 
numiamatiat,  of  the  names  of  some  few  iSrilish 
chief*  or  kinga.  Of  the  various  contltcte,  or  auch  of 
them  a»  can  be  traced,  a  good  account  ia  given ; 
and  the  laleal  results  of  archseological  research  are 
brought  to  bear  upon  the  records  of  Roman  occu- 
pation. Of  iheae  the  moat  obvious  and  the  most 
aiiniiticaDt  consist  of  Roman  labours  in  road- 
making.  It  ia  shown  that  the  chief  highways  of  the 
Bomaoa,  converging  as  moat  of  them  do  to  the 
town  anciently  named  Londinium,  coincide  "in  a 
remarkable  manner  with  the  main  linea  of  our 
nodem  railroad  communication."  It  is  diihcult  to 
«Jr»w  from  this  fact  any  very  definite  conclusion. 
in  the  sepulchral  inscriptions  which  survive  it  is 
carious  to  find  altars  to  gods  bearing  uncouth 
Celtic  iiaiues,  proviug  that  "  the  Roman  aoldiers, 
like  the  Assyrian  aetllera  in  Palestine,  wished  to 
keep  ou  goful  terms  with  the  goda  of  the  land. ' 
Rtill  more  curious  ia  it  to  find  on  the  bare  hillside 
of  Mousesteada.  inNorthuml>erland.  though  broken 
and  mutilated,  all  the  emblems  of  Mithraic 
worship.  On  the  strength  of  evidence  largely 
negative  it  is  decided  that  the  Roman  occupation 
waa  befivre  all  things  military.

(Moriug.) 
Thf,  new  volume  of  "The  Library  of  Litureiology 
and  Ecdeaiology  "  is  a  collection  of  easaya  uy  one- 
who  ia  exiiert  in  all  customs  and  questions  among. 
Anglicaus,  but  many  besides  theologians  will  find 
matter  of  interest  in  Dr.  Wickham  Legg'a  papers. 
Some  we  paaa  by  as  dealing  with  the  "anise  and 
cummin"  of  ceremonial,  which  seem  to  the  average 
lay  miud  of  slight  importance.  Much  more  inter- 
eating  ia  the  ea&ay  on  'Medieval  Ceremonial,'  in 
which  Dr.  Legg.  himself  a  "ritualist"  in  the 
proper  sense  of  the  word,  draws  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  further  we  go  back,  the  greater  are 
the  plainneaa  and  aimplicity  observable  in  the 
atriicture  and  furnishing  of  the  altar.  Even  iu  the 
thirteenth  century,  which  some  have  set  up  aa  the. 
model  of  rites  and  ceremoniea,  we  find  no  f/radin  or 
"  super  altar,"  no  tlower-vases,  no  cross,  no  candle- 
sticks, no  "tabernacle,"  but  a  plain  table  covered 
with  a  copious  cloth,  and  everywhere  a  mediteval 
simplicity.  The  author  brings  out  the  curious  fact 
that  the  otHoial  accounts  of  the  coronation  of  our 
nionarcha,  down  to  that  of  Queen  Victoria,  are  mere- 
reproductions,  with  adaptations,  of  the  proceaaion 
plate  which  did  aervico  for  the  coronation  of 
Janiea  IL,  with  the  groom  of  the  vestry  carrying  a 
perfuming  pan  (p.  239).  Much  curioua  antiquarian 
matter  of  historical  interest  is  given  iu  the  c:lia|>ter 
on  weddina  ceremoniea  as.  to  the  use  of  the  ring  and 
the  veil.  The  book  is  euHicienlly  illuslratetf  and 
beautifully  printed.

A  coNspit'roiTH  addition  is  made  by  these  vol ume» 
to  "  The  New  Universal  Library "  of  Messra^ 
Roiitledge,  in  praiae  uf  which  we  have  apoken  very 
recently.  In  some  respects,  indeed,  the  aeries  has. 
changed  character  and  purjwse.  At  the  outset  it, 
seemed  virtually  confined  to  tiie  ma8teri)iecea  of  a 
generation  ago— works  which  were  the  aeligiit  and 
the  iirond  poaaeaaion  of  our  fathers,  and  by  the 
fliiHpIo  t)a.<(aage  of  time  had  outlived  all  queation  oC 
co(>yr)gnt  and  become  acces.oihie  to  the  general 
imblic.  To  this  class  the  best  of  the  vohiriiea  be- 
long, but  other  works,  involving  new  am]  important 
labours  ou  the  part  of  living  men,  and  copyright 
roiisequently  themselves,  have  been  added.  The 
first  claaa  iiichidea  what  we  consider  the  beat  of  the 
later  additions.  '  Hora;  Subsecivic'  is  one  of  the 
most  charming  books  of  the  hut  half  century,  and 
the  author  of  '  Rah  and  his  Friends  '  nmy  almost  b« 
regarded  as  an  English  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes. 
The  first  aeries  only  of  the  "  Hor.-v  Sulaecivte '  have 
as  yet  been  given.  It  contains  the  dog  stories  or

to  give  us  that  fine  and.  ao  far  as  we  know,  tin-

l(it«  iSir  William  [Augustus]  Fraser  in  a  coniyiara- 
lively  modern  work  by  one  of  the  chief  of  niudcru 
(fossipH  and  gcnealogisis,  and  an  accepted  authority 
'On  all  subjects  connected  with  Wellington  and 
D'laraeli.  None  of  the  volumes  of  the  8«rieB  cnn 
•be  read  with  more  intereat  and  amusement  than 
tl)i«. 

St.  Adaninan'a  'Life  of  St.  Cohimba'  is  in  ita 
way  the  nmnt  remarkable  product  of  mediaeval 
literature.  Montalcnibert  has  described  it  as  one 
of  tlio  most  livini^,  attractive,  and  authentic 
nionunienta  of  Christian  history.  It  has  been  often 
translated  and  edited.  A  conclusion  has  been 
reached  that  a  new  translation  is  requisite.  Such 
lieitig  the  case,  the  work  could  scarcely  be  belter 
executed  than  it  is  by  Mr.  Wenlworth  Uuyshe,  who 
in  addition  to  the  text  supplies  intellJKont  ti,nd 
valuable  notes  and  comments,  with  explanation's 
-of  the  illustrations  which  are  included. 

Heinrich  von  Sybel,  a  translation  of  whose  essay 
nn  the  Cruaadea  is  now  presented,  was  a  trust- 
worthy writer  and  a  keen  iiolitician.  lie  was  a 
pupil  of  Leopold  Ranke,  and  became  a  profeaaor  at 
Bonn,  Munich,  and  elsewhere.  He  waa  virtually 
the  first  to  apply  accurote  tenta  to  tho  miuKled 
aiiaaa  of  history  and  lecend  which  previous  writers 
had  extracted  from  Willium  of  Tyre.  ToKether 
with  the  '  Hialoire  Litt^rnire  deaTroiibadeurs'  of 
'Sainte  Palaye,  Sybel's  book,  which  ia  excellently 
produced,  forms  ijie  beet  and  most  trustworthy 
account  of  a  ^tenod  of  undying  intereat.  It  is 
clearly  impossible  for  us  to  analyze  or  criticize 
worka  of  the  class.  What  is  matter  for  most  con- 
gratululion  is  that  such  books  are  brought  within 
reach  of  everybody,  and  that  knowledge  of  their 
contents  is  no  lonser  oontincJ  to  the  owner  of  a 
library.  The  aeries  is  as  cheap  aa  it  ia  readable  and 
uaeful.

»f  Wluttineehaine.  father  of  tlie  ex  rriine 
Minister,  which  showeil  his  descent  from 
King  Rooert  III.  of  Scotland. 

I  am  dispelled  to  think  that  the  III.  in  a 
rninprint  for  II.,  as  from  King  Robert  11.  the 
lineage  may  be  traced  as  follows  :  —

Qrtene  and  Lodfje. 

Greene  and  Lodge  worked  together  and 

were  friends.  Lodge's  most  interesting  piece, 

to  U9.  is  'Euphues'  Golden  Legacio'  (1&90), 

»  which  is  a  thoroughly  Eupliui.>itic  prose 
roiUAHce,  inter»|>eraed  with  dainty  8ong«, 
and  on  which  Shakespeare  huilt  '  As  You 
Like  It.'  It  is  only  with  regard  to  tiiia  tract 
I  have  to  apeak  of  Ixnlge,  who  was,  as 
is  well  known,  an  unblushing  plagiarist, 
especially  of  Italian  sonnets.  LcxJge's  tract, 
which  may  be  simply  caded  '  Ilosalynd,'  is 

■  of  the  same  class  as  Greene's  prose  tale^,  but 
to  my  thinking  it  is  better  told  and  of  more 
coherent  interest  than  any  of  Greene's.  There 
is  very  much  of  Greene's  undoubted  writing 
,      in  '  Kosalynd  '—so  much  so  tiiat  it  is  hard  to 


man  euMot 


believe  that  he  did  not  touch  it  up  for 
press.  It  is  very  odd  how  his  p«culi, 
come  in  ;  sometimes  there  art)  exprt 
that  appear  only  later  in  Greeno,  but  Ibcn 
are  about  forty  phrases  and  terms  in  •Bo* 
lynd  that  cannot  readily  be  parmllded  except 
elsewhere  in  Greene  —  .':r.s.'..i^rn«  im  hei 
They  are  Euphuistic,  but  uphuw.'  \i 

is  not  satisfactory  to  attri  •  _  lu  toLodni

And  Lodge  gives  us  the  Wolves  of  Syria. 
Apis  indica,  the  herb  Spattania,  and  several 
otlier  standard  Euphuisms  of  Greene's. 

Lodge  says  he  wrote  this  romance  while 
on  board  snip.  It  is  hardly  likel}'.  but  of 
course  it  is  possible,  he  had  all  Greene's 
tracts  with  him  to  make  use  of,  even  if  he 
would  have  stooped  to  such  work.  It  is 
much  more  likely  that  Greene  polished  up 
the  tract  for  the  press  with  his  own  orna- 
mentation. 

Greene  uiul  Dr  hi  Friiaaudaye. 

At  the  outset  of  this  survey  I  referred 
sufticiently  to  the  work  which  I  sliall  hence- 
forth merely  designate  as  Primaudaye,  its 
date  of  appearance  being  1.58f>,  With  the 
original  French  (1577)  we  have  nothing  to 
do.  La  iVimaudaye  was  ijorn  firca  1545,  of 
a  Protest-ant  family  in  Anjou.  He  enjoyed  a 
great  reputation  in  his  own  time,  but  liQ 
makes  no  figure  in  histories  of  French  litera- 
ture. He  resided  at  Court  under  Henri  Iir.^ 
and  was  conneiltiv  and  //mitre  d'kotel  unde» 
Henri  IV.  The  date  of  his  death  is  unknown^. 
He  wrote  other  works,  chiefly  of  a  religious 
nature. 

As  Primaudaye  is  tlie  original  writer,  I 
put  m}' references  to  him  in  the  first  place, 
aa  with  Lyly  ;  and  thougli  unable  to  give  the 
exact  date  of  the  wHtion  I  am  referring  to, 
but  certain  that  it  is  identical,  except  in 
pagination,  with  that  of  1586,  I  give  the 
page- reference  as  well  as  the  chapter.  It  is 
a  dumpy  quarto,  of  812  pages,  with  a  final 
table  of  contents  of  10  page-s  ;  a  preliminary 
'Epistle  Dedicatorie'  by  the  translator,

486  ;  lO""  S.  i.  72.)— There  ia  apparently  yet 
another  place  which  tradition  claims  as 
Oliver's  tomb.  As  I  have  not  seen  it  meu- 
tione<i  before  in  this  connexion,  I  venture  to 
send  to  *  X.  d:  Q.'  the  quotation  recording  it. 
It  is  contained  in  an  article  taken  from  a 
recent  number  (date  uncertain)  of  The 
Christinn  World,  and  sent  to  rae  by  a  friend. 
The  article  is  written  by  Lizzie  Alldridge, 
and  entitled  'In  Searcli  of  Dr.  Watts.'  In 
referring  to  Abney  Park  Cemetery  the 
writer  says  :— 

"  The  thirty  ocres  of  thin  fp-eat  cemetery  include 
the  Rite  of  another  large  old  house  and  iis 
frrouuds,  Fleetwood  House,  once  the  reaidenie  of 
<Jener«l  Fleetwood  and  his  wife,  who  was  IJridget, 
the  dftiiKliter  of  Oliver  Cromwell.  This  silo  is  to 
the  right  of  (he  ftvenue,  and  there  one  siiiiinicr  day, 
among  older  and  plainer  tombstones  than  those 
on  the  Abney,  or  0{i)io8ite  Bide,  I  saw  men  mowine 
the  lon((  Kra»4,  and  presently  came  upon  a  mound 
enclosol  widh  nn  iron  rail.  The  mound  itself  was 
covered  with  ivy,  but  trimmed  so  that  one  could 
read  on  a  red  granite  slab  the  words— 'This  mound 
wa»  a  favourite  retirement  of  the  late  Isaac  Wattn, 
D, l>,'  'IVadilion  saya  he  loved  that  mound 
because  from  it  he  could  see  the  open  country.  It 
i«  now  hemmed  in  by  houses— but  the  mouud  is 
still  Holitsry.  Another  trudition  telle  of  a  rumour 
current  soon  after  Cromwell's  death,  to  the  effect 
that  ilie  l'rote<t'>r'i*  body  wtvt  not  in  the  <;oftiu  that 
was  buric'<l  uiih  ro^ul  itomp  in  the  Abbey,  but  had 
liecn  secretly  brought  ilowii  to  liia  daughtci'a  house 
and  lai<{  tu  rest  where  now  is  the  mouud." 

Since  writing  the  above  I  find  that  the 
tradition  is  recorded  in  '  Old  and  New 
lA>ndnn,'  v.  r)42,  and  is  also  mentionetl  by 
the  Rev.  James  Rranwhite   FroQch  in  his 


'  Walks  in  Abney  Park '  (1883).    On  p.  13  h& 
says  :— 

"In  recent  researches  in  the  Nonconformist 
Memorial  Library  of  New  Colletje,  by  the  courtesy 
of  the  Priiici|>al,  1  canio  across  the  record,  'It  i» 
said  to  contain  the  bones  of  Oliver  Cromwell.'  I 
know  of  no  means  of  verifyinn  Ibis  statement."

St.  Wilgefobti.s.  (See  'Female  Cruci- 
fixes,' lO'i'  S.  iv.  230,  39."),  517.)— In  1885  1 
transcribed  and  annotated  for  the  Clifton 
Antiquarian  Club  a  curious  deed  wliich  I  had 
just  discovered  among  the  charters  of 
St.  Mary  le- Port,  Bristol.  In  it  I  found 
mention  of  "  the  Chanpell  of  raayden  Ca- 
combre,  otherwise  called  Seynt  Wilpefort^ 
lately  [1508]  builded  within  the  Pissh. 
Church." 

Failing  at  that  time  to  find  any  aufticient 
account  of  the  saint,  I  applied  to  Bishop 
Clifford, of  Clifton,  the  then  President,  who 
wrote  me  the  letter  of  which  I  enclose  a 
transcript.  It  was  printed  in  full  as  a  note- 
to  my  paper  in  the  Prnceediw/.*  of  the  Club- 
(vol.  i.  p.  130),  but  appears  worthy  of  more 
exten.sive  publication. 

I  was  not  then  aware  of  any  other  English 
example  of  the  cult,  but  in  'Chapters  in  the 
History  of  Old  St.  raul'H,'  p.  8.%  and  ia 
'  St.  Paul's  and  Old  City  Life,'  p.  247.  Canon 
Sparrow  Sirap-Hon  refers  to  the  image  of 
St.  Wilgefort  as  being  in  the  fourth  ambu- 
latory on  the  left  as  you  enter,  and  give* 
various  particulars  of  the  saint,  and  of  the 
image  being  ordered  to  be  taken  down  in 
1638.  It  does  not  appear  whether  there  was 
an  altar. 

There  wa.s  an  altar  dedicated  to  this  saint 
at  Chew  Stoke  (near  Bristol),  Somerset 
(Pyy.  SoiJi.  Arch.  Soc,  xlvii.  54).

Peab  Col.  Bramplk,  — In  answer  to  your  in- 
quiry  about  'Saint  Wiljjefort  or  Mayden  Un- 
eombre,'  I  find  that  her  name  appears  in  the 
RnnisD  MartyroloBy  as  a  Virgin  and  Martyr  oq 
.July  JO.  She  was  honoured  in  Delt'iuni,  Holland, 
(.iermany,  Normandy,  aud  KiiKland.  under  the 
name  of  WilRcfort  or  (^nconimer  (Outcominene, 
Outcommer,  Uhtikummerus),  in  the  tifteenlli  andi 
sixteenth  centuries.  The  name  occurs  in  tlie  ^ana- 
bury  Or<lo  printed  at  Paris,  lotti,  in  tl)e  liUny  or 
the  saints,  and  the  same  Ordo  contains  an  ao'U'Lion 
and  prayer  in  her  honour.  She  was  also  (iif  Lor  l,iW> 
railed  Liberata,  and  was  confused  with  a  suint  ot 
that  name  honoured  in  Spain.  Portnga  ,  Itaiy,  anet 
other  parts  of  France  besides  Norman. iy  ;  but  lliia 
was  an  error.  She  was  aai.l  to  have  been  martyrert 
in  Portugal,  but  the  leRenils  about  her  are  late  and 
spurious. 

This  1  gather  from  the  Rollandiat?.  I  here  also  I 
find  that  •' thetierrnaii  name  Ohiikummer  is  corn-

to  llalpli  Gout.  It  may  be  worth  noting 
ttiat  Gout  took  out  two  patents  for  pedo-

7  Novenaber,  1789,  the  second  (No.  2351)

is  de!9cril>ed  a»  "  of  the  patisli  of  St.  Luke,

MoNTPORT  Arms.— Xo  genealogist  has  yet 
succeeded  ((?«rtM^«?.'//«<,  X.  I  ff.)  in  establii^hing 
the  exact  connexion  between  the  family  of 
Simon,  Earl  of  Leicester,  and  that  of  Peter, 
Baron  Montfort,  who  was  after  the  battle  of 

E Lewes  in  12G4  one  of  the  nine  commissioners 
lor  the  government  of  Eneland  (Dugdale, 
^Warwickshire,'  p.  ROl).  Certain  -— — ■- 
tic 
tf 


.     .  ,  associa 

ions  are  a.scortained,  but  no  more.  Simon's 
Brandraother  was  Amicia  de  Beaumont, 
daugliler  of  Robert,  Earl  of  Leicester 
(d.  1100),  who.se  aunt  Adilen  de  Beaumont 
married  Hugh  de  Montfort,  great-great- 
grandfather of  Peter.  Presumably,  since 
both  families  bore  the  .same  surname  without 
attempting  to  make  a  distinction,  they  were 
akin  paternally,  and  the  two  alliances  with 
the  house  of  Beaumont  confirm  this  view, 
when  it  is  borne  in  mind  how  frequent 
interinarriage.s  between  once  united  families 
were  in  those  ages.  The  arms  of  Montfort, 
however,  were  Bendy  of  six  pieces  or  and 
Azure  till  Peter's  son  changed  them  to  Bendy 
'pt  ten  ;  Simon's  arms  were  Arg.,  a  lion 
rampant  gules. 

Simon's  family  died  out  utterly,  with  the 
possible  exception  of  two  daughters  born  to 
nis  third  son  Guy,  which  daughters  are  said 
to  have  marrie<l  Italian  noblemen(Campanile, 
'Armi  doi  Noijili,'  p.  4G)  and  to  have  left 
descendants.  Yet  iu  spite  of  this  incontro- 
vertible fact  there  are  several  families  in 
England  to-day  who  claim  descent  from 
Cimon,  Eirl  of  Leicester,  e;/.,  according  to 
Uurke  fifty  years  ago.  Henry  Mountfort, 
Csq.,  of  fieamhurst  Hall,  Staffs,  whose  arms, 


however,  were  those  of  Peter.  It  is  possible 
tliey  derive  from  one  of  Simon's  brothers. 
But  what  I  specially  wish  to  invite  attention 
to  is  the  curious  circumstance  that  some  of 
Peter's  descendants  bear  Simon's  arms, 
rightly  or  wrongly.  In  Lancashire,  at  the 
Visitation  of  1533,  Thomas  Butler,  of  Beau- 
sea,  )x)ro  arms  quarterly,  and  second  and 
third  Argent,  a  lion  rampant  gules,  double 
queued  ('Visit,  of  Lancashire,'  Chctham 
Society,  p.9C).  These  quarterings  have  greatly 
exercised  the  heralds.  But  Matilda,  eventual 
coheiress  of  her  father  Jol^n  de  Moutford 
(Dugdale,  p.  7'J9),  married  Bartholomew  d© 
Sudeley,  whose  grandtlaughter  Joan  was 
again  coheiress  (id.,  p.  1073)  of  her  father, 
and  married  William  le  Boteler  (d.  1368). 
She  is  said— but  her  name  is  wrongly  given 
as  Elizabeth — to  have  sealexl  with  the  quar- 
tered arms  ('  Visit,  of  Lancashii-e,'  p.  99). 

Again,  in  Box  Church,  Wilts,  the  arms  of 
Mountford  occur  as  Lion  rampant  double 
queued  ;  and  once  more  it  is  interesting  to 
note,  in  view  of  the  custom  to  intermarry, 
that  Margaret  Pers,  daughter  of  Elizabeth, 
sister  and  heiress  of  Thomas*  Mountford,  of 
Ashley,  in  Box,  Wilts,  married  Wm.  Buttler, 
of  Badraynton,  co.  Gloucester  ('Visitation  or 
Wilts,  1G23,'  ed.  Marshall,  p.  47). 

The  Warwick  and  Stafford  family,  how- 
ever, have  consistently  retained  their  arms 
of  bendy,  and  by  marriage  with  Joane, 
daughter  and  heiress  of  John  Clinton,  of 
Coleshill,  have  the  quartering  Argent,  on 
a  chief  azure  two  fleursde-lis  of  the  field. 
The  Booths  of  Dunham  Massey,  Chester, 
married  an  heiress  of  this  family,  and  Burke 
('Heraldic  Illustrations,'  1846,  plate  cxvi,), 
in  giving  the  arms  of  George  Booth  Tyndale, 
Esq,,  of  Westfiold  Lodge,  Ilayling,  Hants, 
attributes  the  Clinton  arms  to  Montfort  of 
(Joleshill,  as  if  they  were  a  distinct  brunch  of 
the  family. 

The  representatives  of  Montfort  in  the  male 
line  are  now  by  no  means  numerous,  though 
there  are  many  who  derive  through  female.s. 
One  brancli  today  bears  as  its  coat  a  lion 
rampant  sable  surrounded  by  Maltesecros.sCK. 
With  this  should   lie  compared  the  arms  of 

" de  Montfort"  in  one  of  the  earliest 

rolls  of  arms,  viz,  "De  arg.,_Crusule8  do 
goules  e  un  lion  ramp,  de  azure."   _ 

This  brings  me  to  the  auggeslion  which 
I  invite  any  reader  interested  in  the  subject 
to  help  me  in  verifying.    The  arms  of  Beau-

MR.    BRADLEY'S    'HIGHUAVS    AND 

DYWAYS  IX  SOUTH   WALES.' 

(lO"-  S.  v.  143.) 

Mr.  J.  P.  Owen's  remarks  require  some 
notice,  as  they  contain  suggestions  of  a  per- 
sonal nature  which  are  superfluous  and 
quite  inaccurate. 

I  might  first  mention,  however,  that  Pont- 
rbydfendigeid  is  not  the  correct  local  or 
geographical  spelling,  but  Pontrhydfondtgaid, 
as  the  most  cursory  reference  will  demon- 
strate. Mr.  Owen  is  a  trifle  unfortunate 
in  his  tu  ijikhjuc,  as  a  mis.sj>elb  Welsh  word 
does  not  in  any  case  become  a  North  liritish 
one.  Mr.  Owkn  says  I  am  "slipshod  in 
legends."  What  does  accuracy  in  legencis 
mean  ?  Half  their  charm  is  surely  in  their 
variations.  Personally  1  prefer  giving  a 
legend,  as  I  hear  it  in  a  locality,  for  wliat 
it  is  worth,  to  reducing  an  article  by  a 
professor  in  an  archseological  magazine  to 
a  i^ragraph  or  two.  I  did  not  know  Mi.ss 
Braddon  was  a  predecessor  of  anybody  in  the 
exploitation  of  Wales.  Mk-  Owen's  enthu- 
siasm for  that  prolific  novelist  might  well 
serve  as  a  consolation  tu  mo  for  his  qualified 
approval  of  myself.  I  am  sorry  I  am  too 
gay  for  him  :  I  can  assure  him  it  is  not  the 
result  of  any  effort  to  win  the  approval  of  a 
frivolous  public,  but  arises,  1  fear,  from  mere 
incorrigihlelight-heartedne-sH, perhaps  further 
stimulated  by  the  air  of  the  Welsh  mountains

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,    no-  h.  v.  Mabch  17.  laoft. 


Moreover,  as  my  book  has  long  ago  gone  the 
round  of  tlie  critics,  higli  and  low,  their 
verdict  supports  me  with  practical  unanimity 
in  tliiii  iuuulgenoe  of  a  natural  inclination. 
There  are  plenty  of  works  on  archieology, 
genealogy,  etymology,  and  kindred  subjects 
connected  with  Wales,  but,  so  far  a«  I  know, 
not  of  a  kind,  nor  written  in  such  a  way  as, 
to  attract  the  most  enlightened  outsido  reader 
to  a  knowledge  of  the  IViucipality,  or  to 
move  greatly  those  within  it  who  are  not 
students  of  these  subjects. 

But  the  point  I  am  making  for  is  this. 
Mr.  Owen  asserts  (on  what  authority  I 
know  not)  that  a  certain  local  genius,  to 
whom  I  paid  a  deservetl  tril)ute,  was  my 
'•guide"  during  ttie  many  weeks  he  rightly 
says  I  spent  in  Cardiganshire,  and  practically 
accuses  me  of  being  asliamed  to  speak  of 
him  as  "my  friend,"  and  failing  to  give  him 
some  modest  measure  of  immortality  by 
mentioning  his  name.  To  begin  with,  I 
unfortunately  never  had  the  opportunity  of 
travelling  even  a  hundred  yards  with  him,  for 
business  reasons  irrelevant  here.  Moreover,  I 
made  friends  and  acquaintances  of  all  kinds 
all  over  the  county  among  those  interested  in 
the  various  matters  tlmt  interest  me  and  my 
readers,  and  I  do  not  take  a  **  guide  "  with  me 
on  my  travels.  .\s  to  the  second  insinuation. 
I  may  merely  remark  it  is  in  extremely  bad 
toate,  and  any  one  who  knew  me  would  laugh 
loudly  at  such  a  hopeless  misfire.  Lastly.  1 
would  say  that  I  make  it  a  rule  never  to 
discuss  the  character  of  living  peraous  by 
name  in  any  travel  books,  for  reasons  obvious, 
I  should  think,  to  a  child. 

As  regards  the  interesting  individual 
dragged!,  somewhat  officiously  and  tactlessly, 
into  print  by  Mu.  Owen  I  Iml  merely 
several  interesting  talks  witli  him  in  my  own 
quarters,  and  regret  they  were  not  more. 
Mr.  Owen  continues  tiiat  his  favourite 
authoress  would  have  drawn  a  wonderful 
sketch  of  tJiis  "last  of  tlie  doggers."  I 
daresay  she  would,  after  tlie  manner  of  many 
excellent  ladieson  their  holiday  trips,  and  quite 
oblivious  to  the  fact  that  there  are  doggers  all 
over  Wales  and  the  border  counties,  pursuing 
a  trade  that  none  of  them  whom  I  come  across 
(and  I  meet  a  great  many)  would  thank 
me  for  regarding  as  a  picturesque  survival  of 
a  dying  industry.  1  meet  them  in  many 
counties  and  in  many  valleys,  and  do  not 
think  the  supply  of  alder  is  in  any  way 
giving  out  or  that  the  demand  in  the  Xorth 
for  clogs  is  one  jot  abating.  Tliat,  at  any 
rate,  was  my  information  at  first  hand  from 
several  of  my  dogger  acquaintances  as  much 
as  four  years  after  I  missed  au  opportunity 


of  pronouncing  a  funer&l  oration  over 
last  of  the  bre^  ! 

I  offer  no  defence  for  such  errors  in  We 
spelling  as  I  and   my  printers   between 
have    committed ;     but    I    object    tn    b 
expected    to    know     the    colloqui:' 
different    parishes,     such     as     *'  I.  .    tj 

Welsh,"  for  instance.  In  a  book  of  this  kinc 
covering  four  or  five  counties,  with  a  vi 
particularly  to  iuterpreting  them 
strangers,  it  is  quite  unreasonable  to  ex{ 
hairsplitting  distinctions  and  etymologic 
discussions — proper  to  the  local  antiquarj 
and  revelled  in  by  the  Welsh  anti^ 
above  all  others.  The  sense  of  literar] 
portion  would  be  hopelessly  outraged, 
the  most  cultivated  stranger  would 
such  a  work  from  him — and  rightly — i 
disgust. 

At  the  risk  of  seeming  egotism  I  venture  to 
affirm  that  my  three  books  on  Wales  have  been 
the  fij'st  efforts  to  give  the  educated  Englia 
reader  a  physical,  social,  and  above  all  hi 
torical   picture  of  that  country — in  what; 
usually    called,   I    believe,    literary    form- 
within    reasonable    memory.      Most    Well 
critics   have   generously  recognized  thin,  an 
have  shown  a  due  sense  of  proportion  in  tli 
space  at  their  disnosal,  and  not  forgotten  tt 
scope  of  tlie  boolc,  its  intentions,  and  sue  _ 
modest  literary  and  artistic  merits  as  it  may* 
have,  in  captious  criticisms  of  triflea,  in  air- 
ing their  own  special  bits  of  local  knowledge 
or  Welsh  etymology, or  in  pointing  out  a  line 
of  treatment  that  tliey  would  like  tlie 
bo  have  adopted,  oblivious  of  the  nc 
space  or  of  various  tastes.     For  |>erl» 
author  may,  after  all,  be  tlie  best  jud^ 
there  is  no  excuse  whatever  for  blun^ 
a  critic,  and  Mr.  Owen  lias    made  »•>»  <*

and  ever  supported  the  Protestant  interest  l>oth  in 
Ireland,  and  in  the  House  of  Lords,  in  Hngland, 
whenei'er  that  iiuestion  was  discussed.  On  the  day 
Lord  Filzwilliani  wa«  recalled,  when  my  brother 
(as  Chancellor)  was  returning  from  the  Castle,  after 
having  assisted  at  the  swearing  in  the  newly 
arrived  Lord  Lieutenant,  a  ferocious  mob  of  no 
less  than  5,000  men,  and  several  hundred  women, 
assembled  together  in  College  Oreen,  and  all  along 
the  avenne  leading  to  my  brother's  house.  The 
male  part  of  the  insurgents  were  armed  with 
pistols,  cutlasses,  sledges,  saws,  crowbars,  and 
every  other  weapon  necessary  to  break  open 
my  brother's  house ;  and  the  women  were  all 
of  them  armed  with  their  aprons  full  of  paving 
stones.  This  ferocious  and  furious  mob  began  to 
throw  showers  of  stones  into  my  brother's  coach, 
at  his  coachman's  head,  and  his  hcirsHS :  they 
wounded  my  brother  in  tlie  temple,  in  ( ,'tillege 
Green;  and  if  he  had  not  sheltered  himself  by 
holding  hi.4  great  square  official  purse  )>«fore  him, 
he  would  have  been  stoned  to  death  before  he 
arrived  (through  the  back-yard)  at  his  own  house; 
where  with  several  smithy  sledges,  they  were  work- 
ing hard  to  break  into  his  hall  door,  whik  fome

when  I  arrived,  disguised  in  n)y  kitchen-maid's 
dress,  my  blue  apron  full  of  stones.  I  mingled 
with  this  numerous  mob,  and  addressed  a  pale 
sickly  man,  saying,  "My  dear  jew'l.  what  'ill  be- 
come of  hus !  1  am  after  running  from  the  Castle 
tu  tell  yeas  all  that  a  regiment  of  Hos  is  galloping 
down  here  to  Ihrample  hus,  &c.  Uh  !  yea,  yea, 
where  will  we  go?"  Then  they  cried,  "Hurry, 
hurry — the  hos  is  coming  to  charge  and  thraniple 
hus!  Hurry  for  the  Custom  House."  And  in  less 
than  a  moment  the  crowd  disjiersed. 

"  '  I  then  i)rocured  a  surgeon  for  my  brother,  anil 
a  guard  to  prevent  another  aUiick,  and  thus  1 
saved  Lord  Clare's  life,  at  the  risk  of  being  lorn 
limb  from  limb,  if  I  had  been  recognised  by  any 
of  the  mob.'" 

The  riots  on  the  departure  of  Lord  Fitz- 
william,in  179.'>,  are  noticed  in  contemporary 
journals.  Mr.  John  Prendergast,  barrister- 
at-law,  contributed  the  note  given  below  : — 

"  At  the  date  of  Mrs.  Jefforeys'  interesting 
letter,  Ijord  Clare  lived  at  No.  5.  Elv  Place,  which 
is  not  far  from  Molcsworth  Street,  Mrs.  JefTereya' 
residence.  And  when  the  mob  were  alarmeil  by  her 
clever  stratagem  (so  courageously  adventured  upon), 
and  tied  from  Lord  (.'larc's  house,  thev  nin  t»tV  to 
make  a  similar  attack  on  the  Custom  House,  then 
the  residence  of  the  Right  Hon.  J.  Berosford.  who 
was  charged  with  sacrificing  the  public  money 
and  the  public  convmiiencc,  by  building  suites  of 
splendid  apartments  in  it  for  his  family  and 
deiiendanls.  The  atUck  on  Lord  Clare's  house,  so 
graphically  described  by  Mrs.  .JelFercvs,  was 
probably  ihe  occasion  of  an  occurrence  thot  was 
never  made  public,  and  vet  is  of  an  interest,  namely.

O.  J.  HoLvoAKE  :  Chaktists  and  Special 
Constables  (10'"  S.  v.  126,  15fi.  191).— I  send 
the  following  letter  to  me  from  Mr.  H.  Dale 
relatioK  to  Bpecial  constables  in  1H48, 
which  I  have  Mr.  Dale's  leave  to  publish  : — 

"  In  your  letter  in  '  N.  &  Q.'  in  reference  to  G.  J. 
Holyoake  you  say  that  you  have  of  tea  wondered 
bow  many  of  the  army  of  special  comitable*  ewoni 
in  1S48  in  London  are  now  livin^c.  I  wa«  one  of 
that  number,  having  been  Bworu  at  the  Mansion 
House  in  thai  year.  On  the  memorable  10th  April 
1  was  on  duty  inside  the  Royal  Exchange  from 
10  o'clock  in  tlio  rnornin;;  until  4  in  the  afternoon, 
when  the  late  AliJerman  Musgrove  mounted  one  of 
the  benches  and  informed  us  that  everything  had 
passed  olT  uuietly  and  our  services  were  no  longer 
Kquired.  1  had  a  baton,  and  was  nineteen  years 
ol(i.  A  question  arose  as  to  the  length  of  time  the 
■pecial  constables  remained  as  such,  but  in  the  City 
no  time  was  8|>ecitied,  so  that  llioee  who  were 
aworn  in  there  still,  I  8U|>pose,  remain  so.

I  ana  pretty  aure  that  G.  J.  Holyoake  never 
lectured  under  any  other  than  his  own  natne, 
though  lie  sometimps  wrote  under  the  pen- 
name  of  "Lander  Praod."  I  have,  I  think, 
a  nearly  conaplete  collection  of  the  journals 
which  Hol.voake  edited,  beginning  with  Th( 
Oracle  of  Reason  in  1842,  and  ending  with 
The  limisimer ;  hut  in  none  of  those  is  there 
any  indication  that  he  ever  lectured  under 
any  other  than  his  real  name,  ('liarles

"Walkinc  •'  Clotu  (lO'*"  S.  V-  mi).  —  The 
only  picture  I  remenil>er  that  has  reference 
to  •'  walking"'  is  tliat  by  Dort^,  of  the  fulling- 
niilU  referred  to  in  the  twentieth  chapter  of 
*  Don  Quixote.'  There  is  a  curiou.<i  passage 
about  fulling  in  '  Tiers  Plowman,'  B.  xv.  44:>, 
on  which  1  have  given  a  lengthy  note. 

Walter  VV.  Skkat. 

I»  it  indisputable  that  the  surname  Walker 
is  derived  trooi  the  fuller's  or  walker's  call- 
ing ]  Probablv  it  is.  I  have  no  ample  Dutch 
dictionary  at  liand,  but  Bailey's  English  dic- 
^(ionarv  gives  "walker"'  as  from  the  Dutch 
*'walcher,"  a  fuller;  and  *A  Xew  Pocket 
')ictionary  of  Eugli'ili  and  Dutch '  says  that 


"walken"  is  the  verb  to  work  (a  bat); 
"  Walcher  *'  is  iu  Domesday  Book  as  a  per- 
sonal name  (U.  Barber's  *  British  Family 
Names,'  1894,  p.  320) ;  and  Robert  Ferguson 
in  his  'Teutonic  Name  System '  (1864,  p.  28S) 
points  to  the  Anglo  Saxon  name  of  Wal- 
chere  as  that  of  a  bishop  of  Lindisfarne,  and 
thinks  that  it  is  from  tne  simple  form  fo/rA 
or  icalih,  stranger.  However,  on  p.  40O(i7>«f.) 
Ferguson  says : — 

"  Names  derived  from  handicraft,  as  a  Kaocnl 
rule,  are  of  more  recent  origin,  and  have  been  well 
ex]ilained  by  Mr.  Lower,  to  whose  work  the  rejuler 
may  be  referred  for  further  information  r«s"jiieotinj5 
them.    At  the  same  time  I  hold  to  the  opinion  titat 
a  great  number  of  the  names  apparenllyso  clerivH 
are  nothing    more    than    accioental    coinci  ' 
Such  are  many  ending  in  fr.  auch  as  Angler , 
Collier,  Clothier,  Harper.  Mariner.  Marker. 
Slater,  Stoker,  Tasker,  Turner,  Walker,  A 
of  which  are  referred  to  eUewhere.     Nevr 
I  will  not  dispute  that  in  some  cases  two  niiKrTeni. 
origins  may  obtain  for  the  same  name.     Thus  it  i* 
very  probable  that  the  common  name  of  Walker  is 
sometimes  from  Anglo-Saxon  ictalcert,  a  fuller." 

This  reservation  may  perhaps  apply  also 
to  Walkern,  a  [lertfordahiro  manor  fow 
miles  from  Stevenage.  Is  this  *'  the  place  of 
the  stranger "  (ntilch  and  aet-n  or  em)  or 
"the  place  of  the  fuller"?  Pliny,  lib-  tu. 
cap.  TiG,  informs  us  that  one  Xicias,  the  son 
of  Hermias,  was  the  first  inventor  of  tbeart 
of  fulling,  so  that  there  can  be  no  questioo 
as  to  the  antiquity  of  the  walker's  callinK- 
WakeBeld  is  said  to  be  in  DomoMlay  Bora 
WndieHehl.  Would  not  this,  since  L«land  say*

the  (Jhriatian  name  of  the  West  Indian 
deputy  in  T/te  Times  of  the  period,  but,  even 
when  »he  has  done  that,  she  will  lind  much 
to  be  accomplished.  I  do  not  think  I  ex- 
aggerat«  when  I  say  that  there  were  hun- 
dreds of  Gordons  in  Jamaica  alone,  to  say 
nothing  of  tlvo  West  Indies.  Five  of  these 
(Alexander,  Francis,  George,  Joseph,  Wal ter) 
are  mentioned  in  the  Aberdeen  Commisaariot.

Bohemian  Language  (10"'  S.  v.  168).— In 
reply  to  Mr.  Pearcb,  I  may  say  that  the 
works  in  English  suitable  for  the  study  of 
Cecil  are  very  meagre.  Prof.  W.  R.  MorfiU 
has  added  a  grammar  of  the  language  (Claren- 
don Press,  1899)  to  those  he  wrote  of  the 
sister  Slav  tongues.  This  work  is  not  a 
manual,  however,  but  a  treatise  for  the 
scholar,  with  exercises,  reading  lessons,  and 
a  vocabulary.  In  the  introduction  Prof. 
Morfill  refers  to  grammars  of  English  for 
Bolieraians  written  by  IVof.  W.  E.  Mourek 
and  the  poet  J.  V.  Sladek.  There  are 
numerous  German  grammars  of  Cech. 

.My  friend  Prof.  Mourek  has  lately  com- 
pleted the  second  volume  of  hi.s  Boliomian- 
English  dictionary,  the  first  of  which  appearerl 
as  far  back  as  1879,  and  I  have  constantly 
heard  it  citetl  at  Prague.  He  has  also  pub- 
lishe<l  a  pocket  dictionary  in  two  parts 
(Leipzic,  I89(i). 

Count  Liitzow  has  a  short  account  of  the 
language  at  the  end  of  his  history  of  Prague 
("Mediaeval  Towns  Series  "),  ancf  frequently 
alludes  to  it  in  his  other  works.

See  ("ount  Liitzow'g  'Historical  Sketch  of 
Bohemia  and  its  Literature,'  1896.  To  the 
same  author  we  owe  likewise  an  exceltent 
English  version,  with  a  coraraentar}',  of  the 
Bohemian  classic  work  *  The  Labyrinth  of 
t!>e  World,'  written  by  Komenskj\  or  Come- 
nius,  in  1023,  and  published  in  English  by 
Dent  among  "The  TeinpSe  Classics,"  1900, 
reprinted  last  year.  As  previously  mentioned 
in  'N.  4&Q.'  by  Mr.  Marchant.  this  work 
has  often  been  paralleled  with  'The  Pilgrim's 
Progr&ss.'  H.  K. 

The  best  practical  Bohemian  course  is 
'  Bohemian  Jlado  Easy,'  by  Karel  .Jonas.  lb 
was  published  in  1890  at  Racing,  in  Wisconsin, 
U.S.,  but  it  can  be  KOt  from  Nutt  or  any 
otlier  linguistic  bookseller.

Poem  in  One  Sentkncr  (10"'  S.  v.  148).— 
When  he  said  thatColIins's  '  Ode  to  Evening ' 
container]  only  one  sentence,  Hood  must  have 
spoken  from  an  imperfect  recollection  of  the 

f)oem.  Probably  the  linked  sweetness  of  the 
irst  five  stanzas  had  lingered  in  his  memory, 
giving  him  the  general  impression  that  the 
ode  formed  a  continuous  period.  The  five 
sentences  into  which  it  is  divided  in  reprints 
are  those  of  its  original  structure.  Prac- 
tically there  have  never  been  but  two  versions 
of  the  poem,  and  those  differ  in  certain  forms 
of  expression,  not  in  substance  and  arrange- 
ment of  stanza.  Tbomas  Baykr.

WESTMINSTER  CHANGES  IN  1905. 
It  cannot  l>e  said  that  tlio  changes  which 
liave  taken  place  during  llie  past  year  liave 
been  so  extensive  as  in  some  years  gone  by  : 
they  have,  in  the  main,  only  continued 
change.s  previouHly  liegun.  It  will  ho  well  to 
begin  the  notice  of  them  in  the  Millhank 
district  of  St.  John'.s  pariiih,  where  the  work 
liaa  been  continued  with  more  or  less  vigour 
(luring  the  past  twelve  raontiis.  Within  that 
period  a  ntart  has  been  mntle  on  the  river  j 
aide  of  Millbank  Street,  and  towards  the  end 
of  the  3'ear  bills  were  issued  announcing  a 
a*le  of  the  contents  of  No.  1,  known  as  Dorset  i 
Wharf,  in  the  (xjcapation  of  Me-ssrs.  T-  J.  I 
Miller  <k  Son,  sperm  oil  merchants  and 
spermaceti  refiners ;  of  h^  and  57,  in  tiie 
occupation  of  Mo.ssr8.  William  «k  J.  Russell 
Freeman,  stone  anfl  granite  merchants  ;  and 
of  Wr>  and  fi7,  lat<«ly  known  as  Allcott's  Wharf. 
In  this  sale,  which  was  notified  to  take  place 
on  23  January,  10O6,  were  included  many 
items  on  iho  j»rernises  of  Hi,  on  the  other 
«ide  of  Millbank  Street,  also  occupied  by 
Messrs.  Freeman.  Inconnexion  with  thosaleof 
■No.  I,  Millbank  Street,  it  may  bo  thought 
worthy  of  notice  that  the  lat«  Mr.  Taverner 


John  Sniler  was  for  many  years  member  of 
Parliament  for  Colchester,  and  churciiwarden 
of  St.  John's,  Westminster,  in  1855,  but  it 
does  not  seem  that  he  ever  served  a.s  over- 
seer. This  also  applies  to  his  son,  the  present 
head  of  the  firm,  Mr.  George  Taverner 
Miller;  for  although  cliurchwartien  from 
1^76  to  1879,  and  again  from  1882  to  lH8-i,  he 
does  not  appear  in  the  published  list  of 
parishioners  who  have  filled  the  office  of 
overseer.  The  family  has  always  been  con- 
sistent supporters  of  all  good  works,  and  the 
loss,  if  its  connexion  with  the  locality  is 
severed,  will  bo  one  not  easily  repaired. 

On  the  river  side  of  Millbank  Street, 
Nos.  71,  39,  33,  31,  29,  and  19.  are  empty, 
and  ready,  apparently,  for  early  deniolitioii. 
No.  33  was  a  public  house  known  as  "The 
Brewers'  Arms."  The  extensive  building 
boin^  erected  by  the  Ecclesiastical  Com- 
missioners progre8se.s  towards  completion, 
which  is,  however,  stilt  in  the  distance  ;  but 
distinct  advance  has  been  made  since  1904. 

The  two  houses  in  Great  College  Street, 
Nos.  14  and  15,  have,  it  is  found,  nothing  to 
do  witli  the  offices  of  the  North-Eastern 
Hailway  Company  in  Cowley  Street,  but  will 
be  devoted  to  private  residencefi.  The  well- 
designed  offices  of  the  railway  company, 
numbered  3,  4,  and  5,  Cowley  Street,  will,  m 
all  probability,  soon  be  ready  for  xme.  It  will 
be  convenient,  perhaps,  to  continue  along 
Great  College  Street  to  its  junction  with 
Tufton  Street. 

The  building  for  Westminster  School  has 
been  completed,  and  is  being  used  for  several 
purposes  ;  the  two  shops  on  the  ground  lloor 
are  occupied,  one  by  Messrs.  W.  .t  ,1.  R. 
Freeman  ("  established  over  e.  hundred  years 
in  Millbank  Street")  as  an  office,  and  the 
other  by  Mr.  Martin,  a  boot  and  nhoe  maker, 
who  thus  comes  back  to  nearly  the  same  spot 
as  he  occupied  before  being  disturbed,  at  tlio 
corner  of  the  closed  Black  Dog  Alley.  This 
old  -  established  firm  has  supplied  many 
generations  of  Westminster  School  buys  with 
boots  and  slioes,  and  with  racket  bats  and 
balls  anfl  other  necessaries  for  sport.  The 
house  at  the  corner  for  the  Society  of 
St.  John  the  Evangelist,  or  Cowley  Fathers, 
was  also  completed  in  the  year  just  closed. 
It  was  on  2U  July  (St.  Margaret'i  J>ay)  con- 
secrated by  the  Bishop  of  London  (Winning- 
ton  Ingram),  when  he  also  laid  the  founda- 
tion stone  of  the  chapel,  which  at  the  close 
of  1905  was  showing  some  signs  of  Uie 
progress  made  in  its  fufilion. 

To  return  to  Mill

lis  street  and  Horse  and  Groom  Yard,  wa« 

remove<l  in  the  first  half  of  the  year,  which 
completed  the  demolition  of  all  the  houses 
from  this  spot  to  the  corner  of  Church 
Street,  No.  32  (for  many  yeara  in  the  occu- 
pation of  Gabetas  Gowing,  a  carpenter  and 
loiner)  and  No.  34  (formerly  the  reuidenco  of 
William  Bowles,  a  verger  at  Weatminater 
Abbey)  being  the  laal  that  were  demolished. 
Wood  Street  was  widened  by  June  as  far  as 
the  east  side  of  St.  John's  Street,  by  which 
date  two  or  three  houses  were  down  aud 
Kos.  21,  22,  aud  23  empty. 

Proceeding  up  Millbank  Street,  we  find, 
at  the  end  of  the  year  to  which  these  notes 
refer,  that  there  were  only  two  houses 
standing  :  the  licenawl  premiaes  at  the 
corner  of  Church  Street,  known  as  *'  The 
Jolly  Miller,"  were  still  open  ;  but  the  next 
house,  formerly  a  coffee-house  and  dining- 
rooms,  was  cloned.  Thus,  with  the  exception 
of  tliQ  pumping  station  of  the  London 
HydrauJic  Power  Company,  No.  64,  at  the 
comer  of  Ramney  Street,  the  ground  was  all 
cleared  to  tliat  point.  From  Uorauey  Stieet 
to  the  corner  of  Horseferry  Road,  nothing  is 
now  standing;  wliilo  in  the  latter  thorough- 
fare tu  the  east  side  of  Carpenter  Street  all 
has  been  cleared  away.  Turning  down  this 
street,  we  reach  again  lHomney  Street,  which 
is  clear  on  its  aoutU  side  to  Millbank 
Street. 

By  October  a  new  broad  street  (unnamed) 
•was  open  from  the  south  aide  of  Smith 
Square,  across  Romney  Street,  into  Morse- 
ferry  lload  ;  and  before  long  Grub  Street 
will  bo  obliterated  from  the  map  of 
Loudon-  Champion's  Alley  has  already 
gone.  The  whole  of  tiie  south  side  of  Smith 
Square  has  been  cleared,  and  Scott's  Rents 
closed.  In  the  south-west  corner  No.  32  is 
still  st-anding.  This  wan  the  old  Rectory 
House  of  the  parish,  and  in  it  resided  for  a 
long  series  of  years  the  Von.  Arclideacon 
Jennings,  the  rector  of  St.  John's,  before  he 
migrated  to  No.  18,  Dean's  Yard.  St.  John's 
Cliainl)ers,  on  the  west  side  of  the  square, 
with  Lion  Buildings,  at  the  rear,  in  Tufton 
Street,  were  sold  towards  the  end  of  the 
year  and  in  course  of  demolition.  Across 
the  ground  thus  cleared  will  be  formed  a

probably  before  long  into  ^larshara  Street, 
when  Little  Tufton  Street  will  be  done  away 
vriih.  It  may  be  said  in  tins  connexion 
that  Lion  Ruildings  and  St.  John's  Chambers 
ought  never  to  have  been  built,  as  there 
were  many  sets  of  rooms  on  which  the  sun 
could  never  shine,  aud,  so  I  am  informed, 


not  a  few  where  artificial  light  was  Doedw) 
day  and  night.  How  people  can  be  expected 
to  lead  decent  lives  in  huuU  places  is  » 
mysterv,  aud  it  canuot  bo  wondereil  at 
that  the  police  had  much  trouble  witii 
the  greater  part  of  their  inhabitaotR. 
The  two  houses  adjoining  St.  John's  Cham* 
bera,  used  for  parochial  purpo«e«,  are 
empty,  as  well  as  Nos.  8,  9,  and  10  to 
the  square,  it  being  rumoured  that  aevenl 
of  the  inhabited  houses  are  in  the  hands oi 
the  L.C.C- 

The  houses  on  both  sides  of  Little  ToftOB 
Street  have  been  demolished,  those  on  tht 
north  side  in  1905 ;  those  on  the  other  sids, 
round  the  corner  in  Tufton  Street,  and  atilt 
further  round  to  C2,  Romney  Street,  were 
alluded  to  in  a  previous  T>aper  of  mine. 
Church  Court  had  not  been  clnso<l  at  the  end

the  churcli  of  SU  John,  Smith  Square.  This 
in  the  altered  condition  of  the  parisii  has 
long  been  needed,  but  only  small  progrens ' 
can  bo  reported  to  the  close  of  the  year. 
However,  it  is  now  rapidly  going  forward. 
Before  leaving  what  may  not  inaptly  be 
styled  the  ^lillbank  area,  it  must  be  noted 
that  a  hitch  had  occurred  in  the  negotiations 
concerning  the  passession  of  the  premises  of 
the  We-^tuiinster  Electric  Supply  Cornora- 
tion.  As  the  premises  at  this  spot  hau  tlie 
advantage  of  a  river  frontage,  while  the  new 
site  offered  for  the  erection  of  another 
generating  station  in  Horseferry  Road  has 
not,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  the  aid  of  the 
law  may  be  invoked  to  determine  if  the  site 
suggested  can  be  considered  as  equivalent 
to  tno  one  of  which  the  company  is  being 
dispossessed. 

Proceeding  along  Millbank  Street,  we  come 
to  Grosvenor  Koad,  formerly  Millbank,  and 
it  still  remains  a  mystery  why  that  historic 
name  should  have  been  displaced  for  one  of 
which  there  are  already  too  many  in  London. 
Perhaps  the  old  name  may  be  restored  when 
better  counsels  prevail.  In  Bulinga  Street 
the  new  buildings  of  the  Army  Hospital  are 
complete,  and,  I  believe,  in  use.  At  the  far 
end  of  this  street  the  buildings  of  the  Alex- 
andra Military  Nursing  Home  (so  named  by 
express  desire  of  Her  Majesty)  were,  as  the 
year  closed,  making  substantial  progress  ; 
and  in  Alterbury  Street,  on  the  south  aido 
of  the  Tate  Gallery,  a  good  show  had  been 
made  with  another  important  pile  of  build- 
ings, which  will  be  devoted  to  the  require- 
ments of  the  Army  Military  College.  With 
reference  to  VauxJ^all  Bridge,  it  can  only  be 
said  tliat  the  work  was  still  goinc;  on,  and 
completion  early  this  year  is  lookeu  for.

(^5ee  m•/^  pp.  80,  lt»,  IOC.  191.  21-2.) 

I  UAVE  been  very  glad  to  read  the 
interesting  notes  which  have  already 
appeared  in  *'S.  &  Q.'  concerning  this 
remarkable  man.  I  once  had  the  pleasure 
of  hearing  him  speak,  and  as  the  occasion 
was  unique  I  think  perhapi  a  few  extracts 
from  the  nutoi  I  hen  made  in  ray  diary  may 
not  be  unacceptable. 

Twenty  yours  ann  (27  Feb.,  IftftG)   I   was 
passing  by  South  l*I«n>  Inslitulc.  Fin^hurv. 
und   saw  that  Mr.  I 
address  there  the  11* 
made  up  my  mind  to  attend,  and  accordingly 


found  myself  seated  among  the  audience 
that  assembled  on  that  occasion.  The  sub- 
ject of  his  address  was  '  Some  New  Aspect» 
of  Toleration.'  He  had  previously  read  by 
way  of  lesson  a  chapter  from  the  Book  of 
Esdras.  and  also  outlined  a  kind  of  prayer 
which  he  said  would  be  like  what  he  should 
wish  to  say  were  he  sure  there  was  a  God 
"who  was  a  gentleman."  He  al.so  stated 
that  he  read  the  same  form  in  the  Memorial' 
Hall,  Boston,  U.S.A.,  a  place  conducted  on 
similar  lines  to  South  Place  Institute.  When 
he  commenced  his  discourse  ho  said  it  was^ 
about  forty-.six  years  ago,  in  the  year  1841, 
that  he  sat  in  one  of  the  seats  in  the  gallery 
(pointing  to  a  seat  on  his  right),  and  wished 
he  could  some  day  speak  sometfnng  w]iicl> 
he  then  thought  of  from  that  platform.  Now 
the  time  had  corae,  and  he  should  give  the 
subject-matter  of  those  early  thoughts,  pro- 
bably put  into  better  language  than  lio 
could  have  used  forty-six  years  earlier.  He 
also  mentioned  the  fact  that  Mr.  W.  J.  Fox, 
who  was  then  at  South  Place,  read  out  to- 
ids  hearers  a  few  Sundays  afterwards 
a  letter  which  he  had  sent  to  him  from  a 
distant  jail,  where  he  was  then  (Uiderguiug 
six  months'  imprisonment  for  hi.<j  opinions. 
During  his  discourse  he  quoted  the  following 
words,  which  he  said  Hiehard  Baxter  had 
taken  from  an  obscuro  German  treatise : 
"  In  necessary  things,  unity  ;  in  doubtful 
tilings,  liberty  ;  in  all  things,  charity," 
Thougli  not  believing  in  the  Bible  himself, 
he  was  tolerant  of  those  who  did.  For  in- 
stance, when  his  old  mother's  eyes  grew'  dim 
he  did  not  hesitate  to  read  to  her  from  that 
book,  because  he  knew  its  words  comforted 
her.  He  also  pleaded  guilty  to  buying  an 
old  lady  a  pair  of  spectacles  in  order  that 
she  might  see  the  pages  of  her  Bible  better, 
and  to  subscribing  towards  procuring  a 
curate  to  preach  in  the  church  of  the  parish 
in  which  he  lived.  The  whole  of  the  dis- 
course was  memorable  in  many  respects,  and 
when  Mr.  Holyoake  frniahecf  some  of  iii.'i 
hearers  broke  into  ciieer.",  a  thing  apparently 
unusual.  After  wo  hud  sung  a  hymn  Mr. 
Holyoake  said  that  in  his  opinion  tliere  was 
no  passage  in  the  whole  Bible  finer  than  that 
which  ended  with  the  wonJs,  "But  the 
greatest  of  these  is  charity."  My  diary  gives 
the  following  notes  on  his  appearance  and 
methods  : —

ELIZABETH  RAHRRTT  BROWNING 
CENTENARY. 

{Cotirlvdrrl  from  p.  205.) 

TuK  death  of  Letitia  Elizabeth  Landon, 
wife  of  George  Maclean,  the  Governor,  took 
(place  at  Cape  Coast  Castle  on  tlie  15th  of 
•October,  1838.  Stte  had  predicted  that  in 
England  Hhe  would  not  find  her  la»t  resting- 
place  : — 

Mine  shall  he  a  tonelier  endinf^, 
Mine  shall  be  a  wilder  t;ravo, 
Where  the  shoiU  and  shriek  are  blending, 
Where  the  temivest  meets  the  wave. 

On  the  5th  of  .January,  1839,  The  Athencnnn 
-contained  an   obituary  notice  of   her.     Thin 
was    followed    thfee    weeks    later    by    Mrs.

the  successive  translations  by  MM.  "A.  B." 
and  Charles  des  Guerrois. 

The  closing  years  of  Mrs.  Browninf?'8  life 
were  full  of  excitomenton  account  of  the  fight 
for  Italian  freedom,  and  when  Florence  was 
inoarning  over  the  treaty  of  Villafranca, 
[Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning  sent  her  poem 
commencing 

My  little  son,  tny  Florentine, 
to  The  Athenceum.      This  appeared  on   the 
iS4th    of    September,    1850.      With    ib    she 
wrote  ;— 

"The  good  and  true  politics  of  this  poem  you, 
being  English,  will  disBcnl  from  altojtelher;  say 
M,  if  you  please,  but  let  me  in.  Strike,  but  hear 
me." 

To  thia  challenge  the  editor  replied  :— 

We  need  not  say  how  much  we  respect  the 
poetess- for  we  insert  her  tale— nor,  though  we 
give  it  circulation,  how  far  we  dissent  from  her 
present  reading  of  the  Sphinx." 

Mrs.  Browning  all  her  life  suffered  from 
weak  health,  yet  her  death,  on  the  29th  of 
June,  1861,  came  as  a  shock  to  her  friends. 
I  well  remember  the  t-elegram  being  received 
at  The  Athtnaum.  and  the  sorrow  it  caused. 
At  the  request  of  Hepworth  Dixon  I  at 
once  went  off  to  Chorley,  and  broke  the  news 
to  him,  asking  him  to  write  the  obituary 
notice  for  us.  It  appeared  on  the  6th  of 
July,  and  records  how  in  early  life  she  had 
been  for  years  "the  inmate  of  a  darkened 
room  —  doomed,  as  was  thought,  to  alow 
death  "  ;  how  faithful  she  was  to  her  friends, 
and  *•  the  most  loving  of  human  beings  to 
all  her  kinsfolk  "  :— 

"  Those  whom  she  loved,  and  whom  she  has  left, 
will  remember  her  (so  Ion);  m  life  lasts)  by  her 
woman/;/  f(ra,ce  and  t«Ddernefl8,  yet  more  than  by 
her  e.xtraordinary  and  courageous  genius." 

Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning  rests  in  the 
cemetery  at  Florence.  She  was  bwried  as 
the  sun  was  sinking  behind  the  western  hills, 
and 

"  the  ili»taut  mountains  hid  their  faces  in  a  misty 
veil, and  the  tall  cypres*  trees  swayed  and  sighed  as 
Nature's  sfteciftl  mourners  for  her  favoured  child." 

Florence  sorrowed  as  for  one  of  her  own 
children.  As  the  mourners  took  their  last 
fond  look  they  saw  a  double  grave,  and 
uttered  the  prayer,  "May  it  wait  long  for 
him  I "  A  battalion  of  the  National  Guard 
was  to  have  followed  the  remains  to  the 
ffrave.  but  A  misunderstanding  as  to  time 
frustrated  this  testimony  of  respect. 

The  Florentine  authorities  requested  that 
the  poet's  young  son,  Tuscan  born,  should  li^ 

ucated  ah  an  Italian,  when  any  career  •■■ 
he  new  Italy  should  be  open  to  hiiu  ;  ana 
over  the  door  of  Cftaa  Qaidi  tho  municipality 


of  Florence  have  placed  this  inscription  (6"^ 
S.  vi.  406),  in  gold  incised  capitals  on  a  white- 
marble  tablet : —

Lamb  Allusion  E.xplainkd.  —  In  lately- 
going  over  the  pages  of  The  JVew  Montldij 
Magazine  for  182G  I  came  across  a  paragraplv 
in  the  June  number,  extracted  from  a  rlaiiy 
newspaper,  in  which  the  following  occurs  ^ 
"  Great  merit  is  duo  to  Mr.  Lamb  junior  for 
his  exertions  to  relieve  the  weavers  of  Nor-

sion in  his  letter  to  James  Gillman,  8  Marchy 
1830 :— 

"  Your  friend  Batlin must  excuse  me  for  advo- 
cating the  cause  of  his  friends  in  Spitaltields.  Th© 
fact  is  I  am  retained  by  tho  Norwich  penpic,  and 
haveaireadyappeared  in  lheirpa|)er  under  tho  signa- 
tures of  'Lucius  Sergiua,'  '  Blull','  '  Broadcloth/ 
•  NoTrade-lo-thc-WooTlen-Trade,'  ' Anliplush," Ac, 
in  defence  of  druggets  and  long-cambiels,' 

With  the  exception  of  the  late  Canon 
Ainger,  who  remarked  that  "Lamb's  infor- 
mation concerning  the  Norwich  people  is, 
of  course,  what  would  in  his  day  have  been 
called  'raillery/  and  in  our  day  'chaff,'" 
none  of  Lamb's  editors  have  offered  any 
explanation  of  the  aliasioii. 

As  his  'Reminiscences  of  Juke  Jndkius,. 
Esq.,'  was  printed  in  the  same  number  of 
the  Maijaiiiie,  Lamb's  attention  would  no 
doubt  be  arrested  by  the  remarks  about  his 
namesake,  which  would  probably  be  retained 
in  his  memory,  to  be  used  subsequently,  aa 
occasion  served,  in  mystifying  his  friend. 

It  will  thus  be  seen,  if  my  explanation  i» 
the  right  one,  that  Lamb's  "raillery"  was 
bottomed  on  fact,  twistetl  though  it  may 
have  been  to  suit  his  own  purpose.

and  in  old  compounds,  ix  therefore  an  archaic  word 
ool  lil(ely  to  occur  in  local  uaiiies,  except  when 
they  are  conipoimded  of  poraonal  names  begioniug 
with  tills  word,  audi  as  Wil-frifi,  Wil-hero,  Ac. 

"The  ITiV  of  Wiltun  is  obviously  some  local 
name,  aa  it  occurs  in  Wil-sieto,  Wil-iietau,  'the 
people  of  Wiltshire.'  It  ix  most  natural  to 
identify  II'iV  with  the  River  Wiley,  Upon  which 
WiltoD  stands,  tnoro  especially  as  Asser  btatea  that 
Wills  derives  ita  name  from  this  river,  which  ho 
ffivea  ill  the  Welsh  form  Giiilou.  This,  as  I  have 
«hown  in  iny  edition  of  thia  writer,  descends  from 
«a  earlier  Wilavia,  from  which,  by  O.K.  develop- 
mente,  Wil-ig  arose. 

"These  pre-En((lish  river-names  are  usuatly  un- 
inflected  in  O.K.  Hence  a  compound  of  tun  with 
thia  river-name  aliould  appear  as  Wilifttun,  just 
aa  the  Tavy  gives  rise  to  Ti«1ig-8t.|}c,'now  Tavistock. 
There  is  no  reason  in  O.E.  for  the  syncope  of 
WiliK-tuii  to  Wtl-tiin  by  the  ninth  century. 

"It  is  noticeable  that  Die  BufK.x  -ig  was  identical 
in  form  jwith  the  word  for  'island,'  'watery 
jtround,'  i.e..  Early  West-Saxon  hu,  later  Ig,  irom 
au  original  attjo,  LitiniKed  as  aria  in  Bataviik, 
Sca(n)dinavia,  U.K.  t)ce|>eiiiK-  It  almost  looks  &b 
if,  in  the  case  of  Wil-tun,  Wilswle,  the  iff  had  beeo 
regarded  m  the  O.K.  word,  and  in  consequence  had 
been  detached  from  the  river-name. 

"But  if  wa  emhriico  thi««  explanation,  we  are  met 
with  the  ditti'jnlty  that  the  river  is  still  known  aa 
the  Wile;/,  not  the  Wil.  Confusion  with  '  well '  is 
out  of  tile  question,  for  the  ninth-century  form  of 
this  word  was  I'lt/lf,  and  its  compo.sitlonal  form 
tfiellan.  Is  Wilavia  the  lost  name  of  the  Avon,  or 
is  that  recorded  in  llie  Sorbio  of  iSorbioduiium,  as 
su^sted  by  Bradley  in  your  '  Furuivall  IJirthday 
Miscellany,    p.  la?"

"Bewray."— This  word  is  used  four  titnea 
iu  ttte  A.V. :  three  tiiuea  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, and  once  in  the  New.  In  the  R.V. 
•another  expros-iion  is  adopted  iu  two  of  the 
former  (both  of  which  are  in  Proverbs);  but 
"  Ijswray  "  is  retained  iu  Isaiali  xvi.  3  and 
in  Matt.  xxvi.  73. 

I  will  conitider  the  last  case  first.  The 
Clreek  is  8tj\6v  a-t  iroui,  and  we  cannot 
help  thinking  that  the  earliest  English 
rendering  ts  the  best.  VVyclifife  has  "  makith 
thee  knowon."  Tyndale  was  the  first  to  use 
**  bewrayetli,"  which  is  practically  followed 
in  all  subsequent  versions,  the  Uheinis  having 
"doth  bewray."  The  subject  of  the  verb  is, 
of  coarse,  "  thy  speech,"  i.e.,  "  pronunciation  " 
or  "accent." 

Dr.   Murray  remarks  that,  when  the  word 

as  used  after  tlie  seventeenth  century  this  is 

.probably   more    or    less    consciously  a.s    an 

k^urchaisu),  and  that  the  modern  equivalent 

lia  "expose,"     No  doubt  most  people  who 

fvead  the  above  passage  iu  St.  Matthew  think 

that  the  word  ii  the  same  as  "betray";  antl 

indeed  the  sense  is  nearly  the  same  there, 

though  the  words  are  dinerent  and  of  very 

diiJ'erent  origin.    The  first  syllable  "be"  is  a 

mere  prefix  in  both  cases.    The  second  in 


"betray"  is  from  the  Latin  Mxx</«rr?,  to  give 
or  deliver  up  (the  J<re  being,  in  fact,  equiva- 
lent to  dare,  i.e.,  give),  but  in  "  bewra.; 
which  there  is  a  Middle  English  fornt 
the  second  part  is  from  tbe  A.-S.  ^f-»tV, 
accuse.  Any  doubt  on  this  point  ia 
by  Prof.  Skkat's  letter  iu  6""  S.  vi.  110), 
seems  almost  a  pity  that  the  Revisers  did  not 
substitute  "  makelh  thee  known  " — Wjclifib* 
form. 

With  regard  to  the  Old  Testament  oseiof 
the  word,  two  places,  as  I  have  remarked,  are 
in  Proverbs,  xxvii.  16  and  xxix.  24.  In  tfce 
former  a  similitude  is  ^ivea  to  the  practtcil 
impossibility  of  restraining  either  water- 
drops  on  a  very  rainy  day  or  a  conteotioBi 
woman ;  and  it  is  said  (A.V.),  "  \VhoM««ar 
hideth  her  hideth  the  wind,  and  the  ointment 
of  his  right  hand,  which  bewrayeth  itself." 
Benisch  has  for  the  last  clause,  "aad  bft 
caliebh  for  the  oil  of  his  right  band."  Tbfi 
simile  is  rather  difficult  to  underatacd,  tod 
the  Septuagint  gives  the  expres-sion  anotJier 
turn,  meaning  that  the  north  wind,  thottgli 
rough,  is  called  itn8i^to<i,  i.e^  ptopttkas 
(ijuggosting  the  metaphorical  «ei 
right  hand).  The  Vulgate  take*  tit* 
form  *'  et  oleum  dextene  suae  voctiift 
Revisers  render  this  clause  **htfrtgtit 
encounteretii  oil,"  but  with  ft 
alternative  (almoAt  the  same  as  tbe 
"  the  ointment  of  his  right  hand  bf«n]ttitt 
itself,"  so  that  here  we  have  "be»i*y" 
in  the  margin,  though  not  in  tJie  text,  UN 
idea  being  supposed,  to  be  the  impossal 
of  concealing  itself.  But  in  Prov.  xxix. 
it  is  quite  omitted.  An  associate  of  a 
is  in  the  first  clause  said  to  hear  ^car»i 
(A. v.), or  rather  "adjuration"  (H.V.). 
second  clause  in  the  A.y.  ia  "and  bewrayekk 
it  not,"  but  in  the  R  V.  "  •• -i  "'toftHfc 
nothing."    Similarly,  Benisch.  .lUtL 

has  "  and  toUeth  it  not,"  and  th^.  ., ultec^ 

or  "  tell "  expresses  the  meaninf;  b«tter  tliail 
"  bewray  "  or  its  equivalent  "ex i>o»f. 

The  other  place  where  "  be" 
both  in  the  Authorizetl  and  iJu  ^ 
of  the  Old  Testament  is  Is.   xvi.   ;k     TV

The  Trifjune  of  24  February,  gives  a  nictate

Years  after  the  Victorian  Parliament  directed  the

"Walker"  in  LATty.— The  reply  of  Mr. 
W.  R.  HoLLAXD  on  p.  153  on  the  occurrence 
of  the  Latin  form  Smithus  reminds  me 
of  an  inscription  on  a  monument  in  Sonning 
Church,  which  describes  the  deceased  as 
belonging  to  a  certain  family  of  a  certain 
county,  and  uses  the  words  "ex  atirpe

Royal  PKmoRKB  in  *Bdrke.'  — For  some 
years  the  tabulated  pedigree  of  the  Royal 
Family  in  Burke's  'Peerage'  has  contained 
a  misleading  statement, namely,  that  Eleanor, 
the  eldest  daughter  of  Edward  I.,  was  twice 
married,  her  first  hushaud  having  been 
Alphonso,  King   of    Arragon.     She  was  es- 

SOQsed  by  proxy  to  King  Alphonso,  but  lie 
ied  before  the  solemnization  of  the  marriage. 
Perhaps  this  is  only  a  "terminological 
inexactitude."  Leo  0.

style,  with  corresponding  improrement  in 
the  appearance  of  the  street. 

In  the  instance  of  Nos.  143  and  144,  the 
recently  completed  building  is  to  be  preferred 
to  its  immediate  predecessor ;  the  Gothic 
ornamentations,  Tudor  windows,  and  Htatue 
of  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots,  have  also  the  merit 
of  novelty.  I  am  indebted  to  Sir  J.  G.  T.  Sin- 
clair, BarL,  for  the  following  particulars,  and 
permission  to  quote  them  in  these  pages  :  — 

"  I  write  to  say  that  I  am  the  proprietor  of 
143  and  144,  Fleet  Street,  and  that  my  architeot, 
Mr.  Roe,  built  it  in  the  (ioLhic  style  in  accordance 
Willi  my  detailed  instructions.  He  also  built  for 
me  Byron  House*  and  5St"  and  71.  Fleet  8treet. 
There  is  also  a  house  built  by  Mr.  Roe  for  me  io 
Leadenhall  Street,  in  the  tuediieval  style,  with  a 
statue  of  a  man  in  armour  in  front ;  and  I  also 
built  Loadouhall  House,  fronting;  Billitcr  Street, 
with  Mr.  Holmes  as  my  archil-ect,  and  a  house  in 
Cannon  Street,  opposite  the  Railway  Station,  all 
the  front  of  which  is  of  polished  granite." 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  note  that  the  first- 
mentioned  hou.se  stands  immediately  east  of 
what  is  now  Cheshire  Court.  This  is  a  re- 
ceut  change  of  name  from  Three  Falcoa 
Court,  but  I  cannot  trace  in  Noble  (' ile- 
morials  of  Temple  Bar')  any  mention  of  thia 
court.  It  can  i>erhap8  be  connected  with  the 
sign  of  "The  Falcon"  between  Bolt  Court 
and  the  Conduit,  where  in  16(>0  there  lived 
George  Sedley,  a  saddler  of  the  livery.  This 
sign  is  also  mentioned  in  16G1  and  1667 
{vide  pp.  382,  377,  '  Sigus  of  Old  Fleet  Street,' 
by  Mr.  F.  G.  Hilton  Price).

North- Country  one,  and  it  is  prubable  he 
belonged  to  the  neighbourhood  01  Newcastle-

Pancakes  in  the  Fowl-Pen.— It  may  be 
worth  noting,  as  it  certainly  ia  interesting  to 
know,  that  in  many  places  in  the  Midlands 
the  first  pancake  made  is  thrown  hot  from 
the  pan  amongst  the  fowls  in  the  hen- pens 
for  luck  at  the  present  time.  At  a  place 
hard  by  here  this  was  done  last  Shrove 
Tuesday,  when  the  first  three  cakea  made 
were  tossed  to  the  fowls.  How  might  this 
particular  form  of  tossing  arise,  and  when  f

Winch  Family.  —  The  coat  of  arms  of 
Winch,  of  Berks  and  Essex,  according  to  the 
Heralds'  Visitations  of  those  counties,  is 
charged  with  a  canton  azure  semee  of  fieurs- 
delis.  which  was,  as  is  well  known,  the 
ancient  coat  of  the  kings  of  France.  I  atn 
informed  on  good  authority  that  this  is 
evidently  a  case  of  honourable  augmentation, 
granted  probably  for  some  French  service  iu 
Plautagenet  times.  The  coat  of  Lane,  for 
example,  of  King's  Bromley,  who  assisted 
Charles  II.  after  Worcester  fight,  was  aug- 
mented by  Charles,  wlio  gave  nim  a  canton 
of  England  in  recognition  of  his  services  and 
to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  his  assistance. 
Can  any  one  say  under  what  circumstances 
the  Winch  canton  was  acquired  1  The  Visita- 
tions are  silent  on  the  point.

ROYAL    ARMS    IN    CHURCHES. 
(10*"  S.  V,  188.) 
Ar;ooDdealof  information  about  the  aboi 
is  included  in  the  article  *Arinurial  Adrer^ 
saria,'  which   appeared    in    7'At<    (JentUiaviM'i 
Mfujazine,  June,  1900.     The  following   notei 
may  also  interest. 

In  1904,  during  the  restoration  of  6inii»0B 
Church,  Bucks,  the  removal  of  much  wnit«^H 
wash,  Sic,  from  the  wall  over  the  obancc^l 
arch  revealed  the  royal  arms  frescoed  on 
the  plaster ;  they  have  been  freed  from 
superincumbent  dirt  and  renovated.  Though 
the  initials  on  the  arms  are  G.  Jl.,  the  arm* 
are  those  used  by  Anne,  viz.,  1  and  4,  Knglacd 
impaling  Scotland  ;  2,  France;  3,  Ireland. 

In  Leigh  Church  (near  Southend), 
the  arms  are  carved  in  wood  and  pU 
the  south  door  (inside) ;  they  are  the 

arms,  with  Hanover  in  pretence  and  a , 

of  three  points,  with  a  ducal  coronet  in  nlao*' 
of  tlia  crown.    These  arms,  though  royal,  are 
nut  the  king's  arms,  but  those   of  a  royal 
duke.    To  which  H.R.H.    do  they  beionfff* 
and  how  came  they  in  the  church  f 

The  above  anomalie-s  are  not  the  onljr  i 
known  to  me  ;  in  fact,  erroneous  royilaff* 
are  common  in  churches. 

The  arms  uf  William  III.,  neoessaril] «&* 
common,  can  still  be  seen  at  HilkmaiU 
Bucks,  and  in  Great  Yarmouth  Charch. 

In    Wimborne    Minster    the    Elisabetbu 
royal  arms  are  preserved  in  tlie  library,arms 
of  a  later  dale  being  placed  over  the  tot

^^PSS,  273,  351;.— Periiapa  a  few  more  words 
^^*{final  on  ray  own  part)  may  be  allowe<l  on 
this  subject.  A  private  communication  from 
a  friend  atUxford,  au  expert  on  these  topics, 
ioforms  toe  that  there  is  no  ground  for 
believing  that  this  title  was  ever  conferred 
as  a  degree  in  any  university.  It  may  be 
considered  aa  au  ornamental  or  rhetorical 
equivalent  of  "Sacrse  Thoologia!!  Professor" 
(Doctor  of  Divinity).  So,  with  regard  to  the 
portrait  of  Bishop  Fitz  James  iu  Chichester 
Cathedral,  its  occurrence  must  be  to  vary 
the  monotony  of  8.T.P.  applied  to  his  pre- 
decessors. After  the  Reformation  tlie  title 
is  dropped. 

Parallel  instances  of  rhetorical  titles  may 
be  noted  not  uncommonly  in  sixteenth- 
oeotar^  opitajihs.  Thus  F.  Adam  Sasbout 
0&^)  i«  described  as  "Sacrarura  Litterarum 
Prailector"  at  Louvain ;  Peter  Lupin  at 
Wittenberg  (1521),  "Philosophia;et  Sacrarum 
Litterarum  Doctor"  ;  Philip  Melanchthon 
(15(j(>),  'Sacrarum  Litterarum  Solertisaimus 
et  Fidelissimus  Explicator"'  George  Major 
(1574),  "SacrjB  Theologias  Doctor  et  Pro- 
fessor," at  Wittenberg.  Those  are  drawn 
from  ^  liibliotheca  Belgica'  and  'Freberi 
Thesaurus.' 

Iu  the  edition  of  John  Nider'a  great  work 
on  the  Decalogue,  printed  b^  Husner  at 
StraAsburg  in  N7G,  the  author  is  described  at 
the  liegianing  of  the  work  as  "  Frater 
Johannes  Nider  Sacro  theologie  professor, 
onJtnis  pre<Jicatorum."  The  colophon  at  the 
end  runs :  "  Johanuis  Nyder  Sacre  pagina[fir] 
flgregii    dootoris  ......  preclarissimum   opus. 


This  instance  clearly  proves  that  the  two 
titles  connote  a  single  degree. 

Again,  the  identity  of  "Sacra  Scriptura" 
and  "  Sacra  Pagina  "  is  proved  by  a  passage 
in  Titulus  I.  of  the  Statutes  of  the  Theo- 
logical Faculty  in  the  University  of  Vienna 
of  the  year  1380  :— 

"Coniplolo  EvanR«lio,  vel  jwat  prandiuni,  vel

lionensis  ah  anno  13S5  ad  annum  1309,'  Jac.  Zeisl, 
Vienna?,  1755,  p.  9. 

These  statutes  are  particularly  interesting 
to  a  student  of  universities  in  the  Middle 
Ages.  In  my  copy  they  are  appended  to 
Scidikenrieder's    'Chronologia    Diplomatic*

Chemists'  Coloured  Gla8.s  Bottles  (10'^''  S. 
v.  168). — This  custom  appears  to  be  traceable 
to  the  first  lighting  of  the  streets  of  London 
with  oil  lamps,  when  the  apothecary  and  the 
quack,  as  well  as  the  pny.^iciau  and  the 
surgeon,  to  facilitate  the  recognition  of  their 
abode  by  the  public,  displayed  a  lamp  with 
round  bull's-eye  glass  of  the  same  colour  as 
that  of  the  ball  accompanying  it— red.  green, 
or  blue,  as  the  case  raiglit  be.  In  the  Bag- 
ford  Bills  the  quack  advertisements  always 
terminate  with  some  sly  allu.^^ion  to  this 
distinguishing  feature  of  their  premises.  But 
when  the  chemist  actually  adopted,  as  a  sort 
of  sign,  the  white  glass  vessels  filled  with 
coloured  water,  one  cannot  say,  although  it 
is  worthy  of  note  that  the  three  or  four 
colours  generally  used  (i.e.,  yellow,  red,  blue, 
and  green)  corresf^nnd  to  the  signs  and 
coloured  lamps  of  the  old-time  surgeon  and 
physician,  whether  quack  or  otherwise, 
namely,  the  Golden  Ball  and  the  Blue,  Green, 
or  Red  Ball.         J.  Holden  M.vcMicuael.

effigies  of  Sir  Thomas  and  Lady  Grantham, 
from  St.  Martin's,  Lincoln  ;  also,  froinGoltho 
Church,  in  the  same  county,  of  a  stained- 
glass  window,  dated  1^57,  exhibiting  the 
armorial  bearings  of  the  ancient  Lincoln 
Grantham  family  (see  Maddiaon's  'Lincoln 
Pedigrees ').  These  mouuments  Mr.  Gran- 
tham removed  to  Barcombe,  in  Sussex,  hia 
residence  being  Barcombe  Place,  formerly 
known  as  Barcombe  Cross  Farm  ;  and  he 
then  asked  the  rector  to  allow  him  to  erect 
them  in  the  neighbouring  St.  Mary's  Church. 
Permission  being  given  (without  a  faculty, 
however)  by  tlie  rector  for  admission  of  the 
window  only,  tlie  tomb,  gilt  and  touched  up, 
is  reposing  in  a  mission  room,  probably  to 
remain  there  till  a  chance  occurs  of  transfer- 
ing  it  to  Barcombe  parish  churcji.  In  1880 
Mr.  Grantham  received  from  the  Heralds' 
College  a  coat  of  anna  very  similar  to  tiiose 
of  the  Lincoln  family,  and  adopted  the  motto 
"  Forwards  "  ;  but  after  acquiring  the  Goltho 
window  he  changed  the  latter  for  *'  Comma

It  seems  to  me  very  wrong  of  the  clergy,  or 
any  authority  wliutever,  to  allow  of  audi 
transference  of  ancient  motiumettts  from  one 
county  to  another.  Surely  these  interesting 
memoriak  of  the  long -extinct  Lincoln 
Oranthams  should  have  Ijeen  preserved  in  a 
museum  or  public  institution  at  Lincoln. 
Grantham,  moreover,  was  formerly  a  very 
common  name  in  Sussex  :  one  of  the  race 
was  a  trigger,  a  scotcher  of  waggon- wheels 
on  tl»e  steep  hill  of  East  Grinstead,  in  15D2  ; 
others  were  husbandmen  in  1G32  ;  and  guite 
recently  some  lived  by  basket-making,  iron- 
mongery, and  sundry  retail  trades  at  Lewes. 
Bub  no  Grantham  of  Sussex  has  ever  been 
ohown  to  be  connected  in  any  way  witli 
Lincolnshire. 

To  an  archseologist  the  above  details 
naturally  suggest  unpleasant  reflections  ; 
because  it  is  certain  that  if  these  Lincoln 
moDumeuts  remain  in  Barcoml>e,  under  the 
protection  and  ownership  of  Sussex  Gran- 
tharas  sprung  from  a  txjtally  different  origin, 
they  will  sooner  or  later  gravely  mislead 
students  of  history,  as  well  as  encourage  that 
fabrication  of  ancestors  which  has  often 
been  apparent  in  the  published  lineage  of

Scotland,  Ireland,  and  in  many  English 
coanties,  including  two  so  far  apart  am 
Northumberland  and  Devon.  I  notice  further, 
in  my  'Concise  Etymological  Dictionary  ' 
(also  not  consulted),  that  the  Swedish 
dialects  possess  a  strong  verb,  with  the  sense 
"to  fall  down  plump,"  which  would  in  English 
take  the  form  ihtnp.  with  a  past  tenne  Aimp, 
and  a  pp,  dumj^en.  Tiiero  is  al«o  the  E.  Friesic 
dumjien,  to  press  down  ;  Du.  dompeii,  to 
extinguish,  drunpelen,  to  plunge  ;  Jutland 
dumjif,  to  fall  plump,  Soc.  I  suppose  it  is  of 
no  use  to  remark  that  the  'New  English 
Dictionary'  explains  four  substantives,  one 
adjective,  and  two  verbs,  all  of  the  form 
dump,  besides  dunipiKje,  dumpily,  dumpinex'i, 
dnmpitvi  (in  three  senses,  including  the  one 
under  discussion),  dumpish,  ikc,  becau«ie  it

I  think  the  credit  (if  any)  for  the  entry  of 
this  word  into  the  language  of  fiscal  con- 
troversy belongs  to  the  Canadian  Parliament. 
Out'  protective  system  owes  its  birth  to  the 
bitter  cry  set  up  by  our  manufacturers  about 
1876,  to  the  effect  that  they  were  being 
ruined  of  set  purpose  by  American  manu- 
facturers, who  were  accused  of  "slaughtering," 
or  "dumping"  their  goods  here,  regardless 
of  prasent  loss  to  themselves,  with  a  view  to 
effecting  the  destruction  of  the  infant 
industries  of  Canada,  which  object  being 
accomplished,  they  would  proceed  to  in- 1 
deraniiy  themselves  by  exacting  monopoly 
prices.  &c.  In  the  peculiar  circumstances  of 
CJanaoa  this  cry  was  a  very  effective  one.

The  same  article  (p.  397)  says  : —

In  H84  he  writes  to  Lorenzo  de'  Medici  for  a 
little  money  to  enable  him  to  finish  his  new 
house  (p.  .327). 

Also  it  is  asserted  (ihid )  that  Mantc^gn&

Latham  considered  mt/th  a  comparatively 
oew  word  in  English  when  he  brought  out 
iiis  dictionary  in  1870,  and  devotes  con- 
siderable space  to  its  orthography  and  pro- 
auDciation.  It  is  astonishing  in  how  many 
words  derived  from  the  Greek  the  quantity 
of  the  origiual  vowels  is  disregarded.  I  have 
made  no  attempt  to  form  an  exhaustive 
collection  of  tliem,  but  the  following  imme- 
diately suggest  themselves:  cinematograph, 
^ucyclopedla,  misanthrope,  mHogynist  (and 
the  like),  pr'rtagogue.  myriad,  piithiiis,  tele- 
gram, tt'leplioHB,  U'luacope  (and  the  like). 
Tliia  disregard  of  quantity  in  EiigUsh  words 
derived  from  the  CJreek  may  possibly  be  due 
in  part  to  tlie  fact  that  the  later  Greeks 
themseivea  pai<l  amatl  attention  to  quantity, 
and  that  oven  in  Alexandrian  tiiues  accent 
liad  largely  taken  its  place.  Thus,  when 
tlie  early  Western  Church  incorporated 
Kvpu  iXiiiavv  into  the  Ma-ss,  the  latter  word 
became  simply  "eleison";  and  in  modera 
Greek,  as  I  am  credibly  informed,  quantity 
goes  for  nothing.  Among  English  words 
derived  from  the  Latin,  on  the  other  hand, 
I  can,  at  the  moment,  think  only  of  *'  origin," 
as  an  example  of  quantity  being  disregarded, 
though  there  are  probably  many  otliers.

it  possible  that  tliU  w&n  aa  extraordinarj' 
invention  called  the  "Equibus"]  In  this  a 
seat  was  arranged  (but  apparently  only  for 
one)  on  the  hinder  part  of  the  horse's  neck 
(on  the  horse's  shoulders,  in  fact),  while  the 
remainder  of  the  accommodation  (for  two 
only)  extended  as  far  as  the  rump  of  the 
animal.  The  good  points  of  this  vehicle  are 
said  to  have  been  that  "  next  to  a  hearse  " 
no  safer  mode  of  transport  was  possible, 
while  the  driver  had  perfect  control  over  the 
horse,  and  could  turn  in  the  smallest  space. 
£ut  probably  the  sudden  death  of  some  one 
connected  with  the  experiment  did  not  con- 
tribute to  its  triumph  ;  and  its  disuse,  to 
judge  from  an  illustration,  was  doubtless 
iustrumental  in  saving  many  lives.

V.  110,  170). —  Were  these  not  invented  or 
popularized  by  Lewis  Carrolll  It  is  many 
years  since  I  was  introduced  to  Alice,  but  a 
poem  commencing  "  'Twas  brilliij"  sticks  fast 
in  my  memory. 

There  is  a  strong  tendency  among  children 
and  other  uneducated  persons  to  form  port- 
manteau words  unconsciously.  Not  being 
PxtOF.  Ske,\t,  I  am  unable  to  say  definitely 
whether  the  uneducated  form  "drown-ded" 
for  "drowned"  is  a  survival  from  the  time 
when  we  thought  more  of  our  terminations, 
or  whether  it  is  merely  a  portmanteau  word 
for  "  drowned  -f-  dead ." 

"Combinise"  (pronounced  "  combineese  ") 
is  a  word  I  heard  from  a  little  girl  aged  two. 
In  a  confidential  moment  she  informed  me 
that  she  was  "wearing  new  combinise.''  I 
asked  ray  wife  to  find  out  discreetly  what 
manner  of  garment  this  might  be.  She 
reported  later  that    the   worrl    waa  of    the 

{)ortmanteau  typo,  and  was  coined  by  the 
ittle  girl  herself  to  designate  a  portion  of  a 
lady's  attire  which  is  a  combination  of  two 
garments.  The  ending  "  -ise  "  has  something 
to  do  with  the  French  for  "Bliirt."

the  other  two.  "  Tulgey  "  would  seem  to  be 
**  tall -I- dusky,"  with  a  fanciful  change  of  k 
to  fj ;  but  he  may  have  had  "fulgent"  or 
'*  fuliginous"  in  mind,  or  "umbrageous."  I 
much  question  whether  "chortle  "ii  "chuckle 
-h snort,"  as  suggested  ;  surely  no  one  could 
speak  of  chuMin-j  "O  frabjous  day!  Cal- 
looh  !  Callay!"  The  old  gentleman  was 
altoutiiuj  it,  or  chanting  it  loudly.  I  should 
think  it  more  likely  to  be  "chant  t  warble." 
"  Frabjous  "  is  almost  certainly  a  portmanteau, 
bub  not  a  clear  one;  though  '^famous"  is 
apparently  one  element,  and  "gorgeous" 
may  be  theothertOr  possibly  it  is  "fabulous -1- 
gorgeous,"  which  I  think  quite  as  likely,  the 
sly  hit  being  much  in  his  vein.

Of  words  of  such  hybrid  formation  I  can 
remember  only  a  few  at  the  present  moment : 
French    refuter,    from    Latin    rccumre   and 
refutare ;  the  Pomeranian  nobligant,  a  blend 
of    noble   and    elegant ;    and   the  American 
electrocute,    from    electro    and    execute.    But 
phrases  and  constructions  of  a  similar  nature 
exist   in    such   number  that  the    space    of 
'N.  it  Q.'  would  be  unequal  to  them  ;  I  have 
collected  a  great  many  in  a  pamphlet  '  Die

in    German,    "Er  viuss    jedon    Augenblick

the  mu$$  is  taken  from  the  subconscious  idea 
**Er  muss  bald  kommen."    I  may  mention 
two  or  three  other  examples :  "  to  part  ifith," 
instead  of  from,  modelled  after  "  to  combinei, 
unite  with,"  "(juel  quantieme  avons-nous?" 
from  le  ipumtieine  and  quel  jour ;  "  the  way

PBixcEas  RoYAL'a  Daughters  (10""  S.  v. 
190).— Here  are  the  reasons  which  induced 
me  to  describe  the  young  ladies  as  Princesses 
of    Fife.      They  are  not  Princesses  of    the 
United   Kingdom,    but   "  in  "  that  country. 
As  they  were  created  princesses,  I  looked  for 
precedents,  and  found   them  in  tlie  children 
of  the  Dukes  of  York,  Connaught,  Cumber- 
land, «tc.,  and    the    Princes    of    VVales    and 
Battenberg.     **  Princess  "  is  here  (&a  uaually) 
in  the  nature  of  a  "courtesy"  description, 
and  ijot  a  substantive  dignity,  the  appellation 
which  follows  it  being  no  more  than    dis- 
tinctive, being  always  derived  in  other  cases 
from   the  substantive  peerage    title  of   the 
father.      If  in  cases  of  Princesses  of  Great 
Britain   the  |>eerage  title  was  used  as   the 
descriptive  ad|unct,  it  seemed  to  me  a  safer 
precedent  to  follow  than  to  describe  them  as 
Princesses  Du(lf.    I  admit  I  hesitated,  but  my 
opinion  was  clinched  by  anotiier  fact,  hardly 
arguable  or  in  the  nature  of  precedent,  but 
one  which  led  tne  to  take  what  I  considered 
the  most  probably  correct  course.

Adelimii  Names  (10"'  S.  v.  186).— The  in- 
formation cited  by  Mr.  Aleck  Abhaiiams 
relative  to  the  renaming  of  Jatnes  Street, 
Williana  Street,  and  Durham  Street,  Adel phi, 
will  be  found  in  an  article  on  '  London  Street 
Nomenclature'  which  appeared  in  The  Pall 
Hall  Gazette  of  1  Marcli.  A  letter,  in  wliich 
I  ventured  to  disagree  with  some  of  the 
statements    contained  in  that    article,  was 

frinted  in  the  issue  of  that  paper  for  3  March, 
did  not,  iiowever,  refer  to  the  change  of 
nomenclature  in  the  Adelphi. 

I  may  add  that  I  agree  with  Mr. 
Abr.vbams  in  deprecating  any  change  in 
street  nomenclature,  except  in  absolutely 
necessary  instances.  In  the  case  of  the 
Adelphi,  James  and  William  Adam  were  not 
architects,  and,  as  Mr.  Wheatley  remarks, 
were  only  associated  with  their  brothers 
Kobert  and  John  in  the  business  part  of  the 
project.  The  loss  of  their  pames  does  not, 
therefore,  seriously  in^  th  the  his- 


torical   associations   of   the    loc«li«^-

Mr. 

VVheatley,  in  his  paper  on  *  The  Adelphi  and 
its  Site,  tells  us  (p.  3)  that  Durham  Hoase 
occupied  the  whole  site  of  the  Adelphi  ;  Lot 
at  p.  8  he  imagines  that  "  Durham  \ioiiie 
occupied  what  is  now  the  middle  of  ih« 
south  side  of  John  Street,  and   •  1  U> 

the  river  on  the  south."    Mr.  V  at 

tlie  first  passage  evidently  includes  lu  tiie 
term  "Durham  House''  the  gardens  and 
outbuildings.  The  residence  known  as  Dur- 
ham Place  or  Durham  Houne  actually 
abutted  on  the  river,  as  we  know  from  several 
old  plans  ;  but  I  doubt  if  it  extended  as  far 
north  as  John  Street.  In  Strype's  map. 
1720,  the  site  of  the  present  John  Street  is 
called  "  Durham  Yard  "  ;  bat  the  Yard,  which 
consisted  really  of  buildings  covering  the  old 
gardens  of  the  House,  also  extendeti  east- 
wards of  the  latter,  and  then  took  a  turn 
towards  the  river.  The  best  authority  on 
this  subject  is  Dr.  T.  N.  Brushfield's  ex- 
haustive 'History  of  Durham  Hoasei,'  which 
is  the  reprint  of  a  paper  read  before  the 
Devonshire  Association  at  Sidmouth  in  Jo^Jt 
1003.  This  is  one  of  the  most  vahiaWe  con- 
tributions to  our  knowletlge  of  the  fiist<iricd 
topography  of  London  that  h^ve  ftppe»w» 
withm  recent  years. 

Personally  I  cannot  say  that  I  am  very 
favourable  to  the  revival  of  the  old  name  oi 
Durham  Yard,  as  the  term  "yard"  ha»  a 
connotation  of  its  own.  If  the  Adelphi 
streets  must  have  new  names,  I  should  prefer  , 
Durham  Place,  which  is  less  curabrous  andj 
unwieldy  than  Durham  House  Street,  ana 
carries  with  it  a  flavour  of  antiquity. 

The  patronage  whicli  the  brothers  Ad« 
received  from  the  king  gave  thorn   a  good| 
right  to  add   the  epithet  '*roy«d"  to  iheit 
terrace   It  was  probably  indiflerently  knowr 
as  "Royal  Terrace"  and  "Adelphi  Terrmc* 
for   several    years    after   it   was    built.    Ir 
Horwood's  map,  1794-9,  it  is  called  "IU>J« 
Adelphi  Terrace"  ;  but  the  first  epitliet  mn« 
have  been   dropped  alx)ut  the  end   of 
eighteenth    century.     The    architect* 
theraselvos     to    have    jjiven     the    title 
"Adelphi"  to  the  buildings  when  they  w< 
first  erected  about  1770  ;  but  when  the  n*ii»« 
"Adelphi"  was  used  tout  court,  tho  "Terraoe" 
was  usually   understood.     Boswell,    for   in- 
stance, speaks  of  Mrs.  Garrick's  "  house  in 
the  Adelphi,"  where  on   20  April,   1781,  t* 
dined  in  the  company  of  Johnson,  Reynold*,

Sir  Thomas  Xevill,  1503-02(10"'S.  v.2).— 
I  have  one  or  two  corrections  to  make  in  my 
account  of  the  Thomas  Xevills.  Through  tlie 
misreading  of  a  hasty  note,  I  did  the  '  D.X.B.' 
an  injustice.  It  states  that  Elizabeth  Amadaa 
was  the  second,  not  the  first,  wife  of  Sir 
Thomas  Xevill  of  Mereworth,  the  Speaker. 
I  also  gave  the  date  of  his  death  as  1543 
instead  of  l.'i42. 

I  copied  from  Rowland  the  statement  that 
Sir  Thomas  Nevill  of  Holt  was  knighted  by 
Somerset  in  1643.  Mr.  W.  V.  Pisk,  with 
other  notes  quoted  below,  has  kindly  pointed 
out  that  it  was  Sir  Thomas,  the  second  son  of 
llalph,  fourth  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  who 
was  knighted  at  Berwick  on  29  Sept,  1547  : 
no  doubt  he  was  in  command  of  the  earl's 

Kvies.  I  always  wondere<l  what  Sir  Thomas 
Holt-,  who  was  forty-four,  was  doing  at 
.is  war. 
Sir  Thomas  of  Holt  was  knighted  at  the 
Tonation  of  Edward  VI.  on  20  Feb.,  I'tHil. 
The  shortness  of  time  not  allowing  the 
proper  cereraonie*,  it  was  specially  denreed 
that  thase  matJe  knights  should  rank  aa 
Knights  of  the  Bath. 

Sir  Thomas,  the  subject  of  my  article,  was 
made  a  knight  of  the  carpet.  22  Feb.,  151G/7. 
He  l)ore  the  arras  of  Nevill  of  llaby,  with  the 
ca<lenc:y    mark    of    a    fifth    son.     The   first 
^HLatimnr  of  this  branch  was  fifth  son,  third 
^^Py  Joan  Beaufort,  of  the  first  Earl  of  West- 

Tim  Sir  Thomas  K.R.,  who,  according  to 
3IuMgravu,  died  iu  1&40,  may  possibly  liave 


been  the  Sir  Thomas  of  Thorn  ton  bridge  who 
appears  in   pedigrees   (e  <i ,   Camden's  '  Vis. 
Ijeic.').    His  sister  and  heiress  Clara  was  the 
first  wife  of  Sir  Thomas  of  Holt,  who  diedj 
iu  1569,  and  was  three  times  marrie<l. 

With  regard  to  the  Sir  Thomas  of  York- ! 
shire  who  married  Frances  Amiel  at  Bram- 
field  in  1544,  it  is  clear  he  was  not  the  son  of 
the  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  as  he  was  already 
a  knight ;  nor  could  he  have  been  the  Sir 
Thomas  of  Thorntonbridge,  since  he  was 
alive  in  1562.  by  which  time  the  latter's  sister  I 
Clara  was  dead.  He  seems,  tlierefore,  to  be  » 
fourth  contemporary  Sir  Thomas  Nevill. 
I  find  that  Suckling  gives  the  name  of 
Frances's  first  husband  as  Jermy,  thus 
confirming  my  suggestion  that  Jeromye  was 
a  mistake. 

There  was  a  Sir  John  Jermy,  living 
23  Ed.  IV.,  married  to  Isabel  Hopton,  and  I 
am  inclined  to  doubt  if  Frances  aid  marry  a 
Jermy,  as  I  find  no  mention  of  such  a 
match  in  the  Norfolk  Vi^it^tion  of  Jermy. 
Evidently  the  first,  or  second,  tiusbandf's 
name  was  Amiel. 

In  Mu.skett's  'Manorial  Families  of  SuflFolk' 
grave  doubt  is  thrown  on  the  pedigree  of 
Hovell  of  Aahfield.  It  is  stated  on  p.  11)5  of 
the  Visitation  of  Sufi'olk  that  tlie  William 
Hovell  who  married  Frances  Hopton,  relict 
of  Sir  Thomas  Nevill,  lived  al>out  the  time  of 
Henry  VII.,  which  is  obviously  absurd. 

One   awaits    with    interest  the  promised 
complete  'Book  of  Knights.'    If  it  gives  all 
the  knights  of  the  thirteenth  and  fourteenth 
centuries,  it  will  indeed  be  a  tutuimuu  opm.

tosio."— Ward,  Lock  k  Co.'s  cd.,  no  date,  p.  16G. 

See,  for  an  account  of  these  two  writers,  the 
first  volume  of  Sismondi'a  'Literature  of  the 
South  of  Europe,'  Bohn's  translation.  Both 
these  poeta  took  up  their  abode  in  Vienna  on 
the  invitation  of  Charles  VI.,  the  Emperor 
of  Germany.  Zeno  withdrew  to  Italy,  where 
bedie<l  in  1750  at  a  good  old  age.  Ilis  suc- 
cessor, Metastasio,  continued  in  the  service 
of  the  imperial  Court  till  1782,  when  he  suc- 
cumbed in  his  eighty-fourth  year  to  the  law 
of  nature. 

Now  tiie  last  "  Emperor  of  Germany  "  was 
Francis  11.,  who,  after  proclaiming  himself 
aa  Franci*^  I.,  hereditary  Empei-or  of  Austria, 
in  1804,  abandmierl  two  years  afterwards  the 
former  title,  which  theHapHhurgs  had  held  for 
five  centuries,  and  which  has  not  been  revived. 
It  wtt3  not  until  1871  that  William  I.,  King 
of  Prussia,  waa  proclaimed  '*  German  Em- 
peror" at  Versailloa^  by  the  leaders  of  his 
victorious  army.  Your  correspondent  will 
now  see  that  Ijis  error  consists  in  thinking 
that  the  titles  of  "Emperor  of  Germany  " 
and  "German  Emperor  are  one  and  the 
same. 

I  have  a  copy  of  Metastaaio's  worka  in 
twelve  small  volumes  (Londra,  1784),  the  first 
of  which  is  grace<l  with  his  portrait  and 
bears  the  inscription  "  Fietro  Metastasio, 
Romano,  Poeta  Cesareo.'*  So  far  as  I  can 
ascertain,  he  waa  the  last  of  the  imperial 
bards.  'When  the  elder  D'lsraeli  compiled 
the  first  volume  of  bis  *  Curiosities  '  in  17!>1, 
ho  waa  doubtless  correct  in  saying  that  "the 
Emperor  of  Germany  retains  tho  laureate- 
ship,"  because  the  dignity  had  not  then  been 
openly  abolished.  The  office  docs  not  appear 
tx)  have  survived  tho  troubles  of  the  Kreat 
Kevolutionary  epoch,  and  might  bo  8ai<)  to 
have  ceased  to  exist  in  180C  witli  tho  last

feminine,  and  the  correct  plural  would   be 


centinga.    It  is  thoroforo  itnpoaiiible  to

ing,"  is  possible  enough.  But  wo  must  not 
take  such  a  mistake  neriously.  If  aach  iiad 
been  the  solution,  we  should  expect  to  find  a 
large  number  of  such  **  turnings, ''aa  nameron 
as  the  chares  in  the  North. 

It  ia  curious,  too,  that,  after  all,  ihe  exi*t- 
ence  of  an  A.-S.  cerHmt,  or  of  any  later  tom 
of  it,  is  all  mere  hypothesis.  No  one  has 
yet  preaumed  to  say  where  it  occurs.

'A  Medlrv  Fjnale  to  the  Gueat  Ex-

tion with  which  I  have  again  been  kindly 
favoured  by  Mr.  John  Hebb,  I  find  I  was 
right  in  my  imuression  that  these  topical 
ver^eJt  Br^t  made  their  appearance  in  an 
extravaganza  by  Planche  (see  ante,  p.  14),  and 
that  tliey  date  from  the  early  "forties." 
They  were  sung  by  Charles  Mathews  in  the 
character  of  Puff  in  tlie  "Medley  Finale" 
of  "  The  Drama  at  Homo  or  an  Evening  with 
I'uff,  an  Original  Occasional  and  Local

ledge of  the  Constitution  under  early  English  and 
Norman  Kincs.  Twenty-oue  lectures  in  all  ore 
printed,  of  which  the  first  eight  deal  with  'The 
Anglo-ijaxon  Constitution,'  '  Feudalism,'  the  '  Le^ea 
Henrici  Prinii,*  the  'Charters  of  Stephen,'  an(i 
other  matters  connected  with  purely  domestic 
growtlj  and  development,  ending  with  the  investi- 
gation of  the  Domesday  and  luter  surveys:  while 
the  remainder  treat  of  the  study  of  the  varioua- 
growths  (if  Kuro|»ean  kingdoms  aud  inslitntions. 

In  the  e&rlier  jiortion,  aa  in  the  later,  the  writer 
deals  largely  with  Germanic  influences,  not  only  a» 
in  thoniaelves  (thanks  to  what  we  learn  concerning 
them  from  .Julius  Crusar  nnd  Tacitup)  offering  the 
beat  opportunities  for  study,  but  as  furnishing  the 
earliest  traces  of  our  forefathers.  The  fact  is  in- 
sisted on  (hat  the  name  of  Britnn,  by  which  we  call 
ourselves,  has  "only  a  geographical  significance. 
The  blood  that  ia  in  our  veins  comes  from  (lermsH' 
ancestors.  Our  languaue,  diveraiQcd  as  ic  ia.  is  at 
the  bottom  a  (iermau  language  ;  our  inslitulions 
have  giowu  into  what  they  are  fron»  the  coinmou- 
basis  of  the  ancient  institutions  of  Germany."  That 
we  belong  to  the  great  Teutonic  hourehoU  is  a  fact 
not  less  clear  than  gratifying;  to  tho  writer,  whose- 
projufitces— or  we  will  rather  say  cotivictiotis — as  to- 
the  soliditv  and  moral  worth  of  the  German 
cliaraoter  sDundantly  assert  themselves.  EKpecially 
noteworthy  is  the  comparison  more  than  once 
establisheci  between  the  vices  of  the  early  French 
kings  (with  the  solitary  exception  of  St.  Louisiana 
the  virtues  of  the  Gernnin  emperors.  On  the 
subjects  on  which  he  writes  liislinp  Stubba  remains 
a  great  authority.  New  light  has  been  cast  upon 
many  of  hin  concluaions,  but  in  few  cases  have  these 
been  iuvali<latcd,  or  indeed,  in  any  anjirccinble 
degree,  shaken.  Rather  may  it  bo  »aia  that  the 
decisions  of  later  writers,  where  they  are  not  in- 
tluenced  by  Stubbs's  views,  boar  ihcni  out  and 
sabstantiate  them.  A  sounder,  if  a  less  brilliant 
scholar  than  Bishop  Creiuhton.  Stubbs  has  in- 
niiencod  hugely  the  whole  tone  of  modern  EiigUsb 
historical  research. 

The  task  of  criticism  thus  becomes  almost  super- 
fluous. Wecan  accordtnpiv  note  for  special  praise 
the  chaptei-8  on  '  The  Elements  of  Nationality 
among  Luro))ean  Nations,'  'The Origin  anil  Pasitio* 
of  the  German,  Rotnan,  Frank,  Celtic,  nnd  English

Princijile,'  'Early  Judicial  Systems,  ami  'The 
Growth  of  the  Constitutional  Priur-iple  in  tho 
Thirteenth  and  Fourteenth  Centuries.*  and  lastly 
an  important  and  philosophical  contribution  (the 
value  of  which  can  scarcely  be  over-estimated) 
upon  the  beginnings  of  the  foreign  jiolicy  of 
Knglaud  in  the  Middle  Ages.

The  paper  on  the  Catalogue  of  Printed  Books  in 
the  Library  of  the  British  Muceum  is  of  hiijh  excel- 
lence. It  will  convey  much  information  to  not  a

agree wilh  the  writer.  Surely  it  would  be  moat 
unwise  to  dispose  of  the  (luplicates  the  library 
contains,  not  ouly  because  it  is  often  almost  im- 
possible to  distingAiish  in  what  a  true  du|)licate 
consists,  but  also  because  three  or  four  (tersons  may 
retpiire  tlie  same  tmok  at  the  same  lime— an  occur-

HVROY    PEDKIRKK    IN    'THK    THREE 
DtJR.SET  CAPTAINS  AT  TRAFAUIAR.' 

The  main  interest  of  'The  Three  Dorset 
Captains  at  Trafalgar'  is  conceiitratefl  in  the 
letters  of  Sir  Thomas  Masterman  HanJy 
("Xehon's  Hardy  "),  and  tlie  genealogies  of 
the  three  captainn  are  necessarily  a  ininor 
feature  of  the  volume.  Vet  the  f>e<]igree  of 
a  rli4tingui«lied  man  is  alway<4  interesting, 
and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  book  was 
not  furrushed  with  a  more  reliable  account 
of  Sir  T.  M.  Hardy's  ancestors. 

The  principal  object  of  the  pedigree  seems 
to  liavo  lieen  to  show  that  Sir  T.  M.  Hardy 
hari  with  three  other  admirals  of  the  same 
iturname  a  common  ancestor  in  Clement  le 
Hardy,  Lieutenant  Governor  of  Jersey  in 
1 188  ;  but  one  lofjks  in  vain  for  any  autliori 
ties  for  such  a  descent.  Tlio  compilers  of 
the  pedigree,  with  the  aid  of  the  parisii 
regist^rn  of  Portisliam,  Dorset,  trace  Sir 
T.  M.  Hardy 'a  family  back  to  an  Anthony 
Hardy  whose  ciiiidren  were  baptized  at 
Portishain  in  l*Al  and  after,  .\nthony  is 
•laid  (without  any  appa»*ent  evidence)  to  be 
the  offspring  of  the  marriage,  at  l'orti«hatn 


in  1596,  of  Jolin  Uardy  to  Ann  Saniways; 
and  John  is  identified  (seemingly  without 
reason)  with  a  John,  son  of  Edmund  Hardy, 
"of  Toller  Whelme,  Dorset,  Esq,"  whose 
family  registered  their  arms  and  p&Jigree  at 
the  Heralds'  Visitations  in  1.j65  and  1623. 
And  these  arms  being  the  same  as  those 
borne  by  Clement  le  Hardy,  the  latter  i» 
assumed  to  be  great-grandfather  of  the 
Edmund  just  mentioned. 

Now  the  authors  of  the  book  seem  to  have 
overlooked  the  fact  that  there  were  Hardya 
at  or  near  Portisliafn  nearly  all  tliroui^h  the 
sixteenth  ceiiLury.  On  subsidy  or  muster 
rolls  occur  Williatit  Hardy  in  the  neighhour- 
hoo«i  in  l')23,  Thomas  and  Richard  at  Poi ti- 
shain  in  l.")4.'],  .Margaret  at  Portisliam  in 
l.V)8,  and  John  and  William  at  Portisham  in 
1506,  with  many  others  of  the  name  at  tlisse 
dates  in  tho  adjoining  villages  of  Rodden  and 
Abbotsbury.  Further,  Sir  T.  M.  Hardy's 
ancestor  Anthony  was  in  1636  plaintif!'  in  a 
Chancery  suit  (Chas.  I.,  U.  110  49),  wlten 
he  described  himself  as  *'AntItonie 
Hardy,  of  Porteshara,  yeoman,"  and 
staten  that  he  and  one  JeftVv  Hardy  had 
been  sureties  for  William  ilanly,  gent., 
whom  Anthony  mentions  as  his  "  near 
kinsman,"  who  had  about  IGOd  bought  land 
at  BexingtoH.  in  Abbotsbury,  and  who  died 
in  1G18,  leaving  two  grownup  sons.  Tliis 
William  was  no  doubt  a  William  Ijanfy  of 
Bexington,  "  yeoman,"  who.  in  deposing  in 
a  Chancery  suit  (I)undle  363,  }{ayno  v. 
Bartlett)  in  lOU,  gave  his  age  as  fifty  years, 
and  was  thus  liurn  about  l.'iGl.  JefTrj'  seemi 
to  have  l)een  a  Jetfry  Hardy,  '*  veoiuan," 
who  in  1G03  (Chanc.  Pioc.  of  Chas.  I., 
H.  00  29)  harl  some  concern  at  Buckland 
Itipers,  a  village  some  three  miles  from 
Portisham.  Again,  in  a  fourth  Chancery 
suit,  date<l  lG07(Chas  I.,  S.  121  17),  there  is 
mention  of  a  John  Hardy  the  younger,  of 
Portisham,  and  Ann  his  wife,  who  Jo  not 
appear  to  have  been  in  atiluent  circumstances, 
having  rented  some  farm  stock  at  Auckland 
from  John  Saniways,  and  who  were  surely 
identical  with  the  couple  married  at  Portisham 
in  159U. 

It  will  be  observed  tliat  Anthony,  William, 
Jeffry,  and  John  the  younger  all  belonged 
to  the  yeoman  class,  and  that  though  the 
last  tlireo  were  presumably  the  contem- 
poraries of  Anthony's  father,  no  such  persona 
appear  in  the  full  and  woll-authenticated 
petligree  of  the  Toller  Whelme  family. 
Indood,  it  is  inconceivable  that  the  sons  or 
gran<lsoiis  of  a  gentleman  who  ha(i  lAt«ly 
registered  his  coat  of  arms  coul(J  have  lieaw 
styled  yeomen,  and  it  may  he  cwiaWWSi  >i».*.\.

Camden  Society's  volume  (N.S..  18)  of  '  Docu-

if  he.  or  any  other  correspondent,  could 
farnish  any  particulars  about  this  WoUer.

not  Manche.ster,  is  int«nde<l.  A  reference

point.  C.  W.  Si  TTON.

DALtv  THE  Talu  —  It  IS  strange  that 
modern  writersso  often  mistake  the  sobriquet 
-of  the  well  known  courtesan  Mrs.  Grace 
Dalrymplo  Elliott.  Even  such  recent  works 
as  Sir  W.  Annstroiia's  '  Life  of  Reynolds ' 
and  Mrs.  Toy n bee's  edition  of  the  Walpole 
letters  refer  to  her  as  '^Bolli/  the  TaII." 
But  there  is  absolutely  no  point  in  such  a 
designation,  for  her  nicknaine  was  deiived 
from  her  maiden  name  Dalryntplu.  and  thus 
became  "Dally."  To  her  contemporaries  she

Nelson  Traf.\loar  Memorandum.  —  The

sohl  at  public  auction  iiy  Messrs.  Christio,

The  purchaser  was  .Nfr.  Sahin,  of  Shafte>*l)ury

The  llev.  Robert  Hunt,  who  had  been 
rector  of  Recalver,  Kent,  accompanied  tl»ese 
aettlei-ii.  and  regularly  conducted  the  services 
of  the  C'hurcli  of  England.  A  wooden  church 
appears  to  have  been  erected  some  years

one  built  iu  1610,  the  rains  of  which  still

Bome  American  reader  of  *  X.  i  Q.'  will

Some  years  since  I  visited  a  numUar  of  old

on  the  subject— and  I  was  much  struck  with 
the  admirable  way  in  which  most  of  them 
were  pre*>erved,  and  the  keen  interest  every- 
where manifested  in  them.

-seems  to  have  beett  suggested  by  the  Qaeen'a 
advice  to  Hamlet  (Act  I.  sc.  ii.),  concluding 
with     '^all    that    livo^    must    die,    pasaio^ 
through  nature  to  eternity  " : — 
All  born  on  earth  miiat  die.     Destruction  reigns 
Roudd  the  whale  globe,  and  chaiiKes  all  its  icenet.

My  soul  ethereal  born,  and  thitber  aim  thy  fliglit : 
There  virtue  Hnds  reward ;  eternal  joy, 
Unknown  on  earth,  shall  the  full  soul  employ. 
This  globe  of  death  we  tread,  these  ahiniug  atiiea, 
Hold  out  the  moral  lesson  to  our  eyes.

The  other  two  are  somewhat  reminiscent  of 
Isaac  Watts  and  Eliza  Cook  : — 

How  truly  blest  are  they  who  leisure  find 
To  dre&a  the  little  pardon  of  the  ntind  ! 
That  grateful  tillage  well  rewards  our  paius  ;

The  industrious  bee  extracts  from  every  Hewer

In  another,  not  in  my  possession,  a  beautiftil 

yiece  of  needlework  signed  and  dated  Louisa 
ano  Holdett,  1838,  tliero  are  neither  verses 
nor  alphabet,  but  instead  a  wealtli  of  tloral 
ornament  surrounding  a  large  basket  of 
flowers,  and  at  each  bottom  corner  a  tail 
4trawl}erry  nottle  like  tfiose  in  use  in  the 
first  half  of  last  century,  in  which  are  piled 
the  most  iuscioua  strawberries. 

The  text  of  these  samplers  is  surroundet! 
by  grafts  and  grape-vine,  oak-leaves  and 
acorns,  crowns,  parrots,  macaws,  butterllies, 
impossible  ilowers  and  (lower-pots,  and  at 
tlie  base  still  more  impossible  boiises,  one  of 
wliich,  however,  in  its  elaboration  resembles 
«  print  of  the  old  White  Conduit  House. 
In  the  1830  examples  the  whole  is  preceded 
by  the  alphabet  repeated  in  four  fhftbrent 
types  of  letters  ;  but  in  the  1833  "sample" 
tnere  is  no  alphabet.  I  could  find  nothing 
like  the  te.Ktual  part  of  these  samplers  in 
Uarcus  B.  Huishs  '  Samplers  and  Tapestry

Ou  the  other  hand,  I  noticed  that  a  society

"  The  great  ftstes  of  this  famous  house  have  never

nearly  three  hundred  years  ago."

Ariel.— It  appears  from  a  review  wliich  I 
read  lately  that  Ariel  has  lieoii  pressed  into 
service  as  the  name  of  the  heroine  of  a  novel. 
The  Ariel  of  tlie  Bible  wa.s  a  man  ;  the  Ariel 
of  'The  Temi)est'  i.s,  so  far  as  I  remember, 
never  alluded  to  as  feminine  What  old 
authority  is  there  for  bestowing  the  name  on 
women,  or  for  representing  the  'tricksy 
sprite"  as  a  girl?  As  was  remarked  in 
'N.  it  Q.'  some  time  ago,  it  is  only  recently 
thatangelshave  been  pictured  a-s  of  the  weaker 
sex.  Till  quite  modern  times  they  were  raado 
in  the  likeness  of  young  I>eardie88  men. 

Should  Ariel  1)6  thougiit  of  as  girlish?

Little  Creijsingham  Church,  Norfolk. 

Pos«ihlv  Mr,  CuiiTi.s  ia  aware  that  on  aui 
altar-tomb  iu  the  chancel  of  Swaffham 
Church  there  are  four  shields,  bearing  re- 
spectively :  I.  Three  sacramental  cups  witli 
wafers,  aliield  of  the  Blesited  Sacrament. 
11.  Shield  of  the  Holy  Trinity.  III.  Three 
boata.  IV.  Three  wimbles.  Of  theae, 
No8.  III.  and  IV.  form  a  rebus,  wimbles  being 
instruments  essential  to  a  wright  or  worker 
in  wood.  The  tomb  ia  that  of  John  Bote- 
Wright,  D-D.  ('Church  Heraldry  of  Norfolk,' 
by  the  llev.  Edmund  Farrer,  1885,  p.  9C). 

The  Rev.  John  Collinsorj,  in  hia  '  Hist,  and 
Antici.  of  Somerset,'  1791,  vol.  ii.  p.  108,  says 
that  Bishop  Beckington,  who  was  a  native  of 
the  village  of  that  name,  took  for  his  device, 
atill  to  be  seen  in  many  parts  of  Wells,  a 
b«aeon  with  a  tun. 

In  St.  Alban's  Abbey  the  tomb  of  Abbot 
Whethamstcad  iftcuminemorativoof  his  great 
services  in  the  repairing  and  embellishment 
of  the  fabric,  as  well  as  of  his  abbacy,  and 
bears  representations  of  ears  of  wheat,  in 
allusion  to  his  name;  while  Abbot  llamryge's 
tomb  bears  the  carvings  of  rams  with  the 
syllable  "rydge"  carved  on  their  collarsr 
Similarly,  the  Abbot  of  Ramsey's  rebus  was 
a  rant  in  the  ;<r/i. 

Roger  de  Sempringham,  Prior  of  Malton, 
circa  1139,  is  probably  rebussed  in  the 
inscription  which  may  be  sean  on  the  capital 
of  a  column  in  the  north  wall  of  the  churcli 
of  Old  Malton,  in  Yorkshire.  It  is  only  part 
of  the  original  inscription,  and  of  what  tliore 
is,  a  part  is  purposely  inverted  apparently. 

On  the  central  tower  of  Canterbury  Cathe- 
dral is  sculptured  the  rebus  of  Jolm^Iorton, 
Archbishop  of  Canterbury  from  148(J  to  15()0, 
consisting  of  the  letters  mor  and  a  tun 
(Kritton's  *Cath.  Antiq.,' Canterbury,  p.  39). 

Mr.  U.  \V.  Rolfe  exhibited  at  a  meeting  of 
the  British  Archn;oIcgicaI  Association  on 
2<j  Jan..  185.3,  a  portion  of  painted  glass  from 
Canteroury  containing  a  rebus  which  con- 
sisted of  a  robin  in  a  tree,  with  the  letters 
R.  T.  (Robin  Tree). 

A  rebus  consisting  of  a  church,  or  kirk, 
above  a  cask  or  tun,  over  the  postern  of  the 
gateway  forming  the  entrance  to  the  Deanery 
of  Peterborough,  has  led  to  the  supposition 
that  the  gateway  was  erected  by  Robert 
Kirton  or  Kirkton,  Abbot  of  Peterborough. 

Camden's  '  liemains,'  p.  179,  says  that  the 
*'  picture  on  ii^iaHS  of  Roeer  Wail,  Dean  of  Lichtield,

Mr.  Norris  Deck,  iu  a  paper  read  at  the 
Cambridge  gathering  of  the  Archaeological 
Institute  in  1854,  gave  as  other  examples  the 
names  of  such  ecclesiastics  as  Goldstone, 
Naillieart,  Silkstede,  and  Winchcombe,  all 
forming  rebuses  {LiUr^xry  Gaztfte,  lo  July, 
1804,  p.  6G0).  John  Newland  or  Nailelieart, 
Abbot  of  St.  Augustine's,  near  Bri-stol,  in 
1510,  bore  upon  the  "escocheou  '  in  his  seal 
a  human  heart  proper  pierced  with  five  nails, 
in  allusion  botli  to  t\\e  (/iiinque  vulnera  &nd 
to  his  own  surname.  See  James  Dallaway  in 
Ijis  'Heraldic  Enquiries,'  1793,  p,  121. 

In  a  staiiied-ghiss  window  in  the  chapel  at 
Lullingstone,  in  Kent,  where  there  are  some 
xplendid  monuments  of  the  Peche  and  Hart 
families,  occur  the  arms  of  Sir  John  Peche, 
the  lord  deputy,  who  ia  represented  also  in 
an  elaborate  monument  as  a  knight  in 
armour  iu  a  recumbent  posture.  These  arms 
consist  of  a  tion  rampant  surrounded  by  a 
garland  of  peach- branches,  the  fruit  bearing 
the  letter  t-,  which  in  P^rench  would  form

In  one  of  the  window*  of  the  chapel  of 
Our  Lady  in  Gloucester  Cathedra!  is  the 
rebus,  in  the  form  of  a  comb  and  "  ton,"  of 
Thomas  Compton,  Abbot  of  Cirencester.  In 
otiicr  instances  a  tun  or  barrel  occurs  with 
the  comb. 

The  rectory  house  of  Buckland,  in 
Gloucestershire,  5|  miles  from  Chipping 
Norton,  was  built  in  1520  by  William 
Graftofj,  who  was  then  rector,  and  whose 
darce  (?)  or  rebus,  the  graft  of  a  tree  issuing 
from  a  tun,  is  displayed  in  one  of  the  hall 
windows. 

Those  which  do  not  occur  in  churchea  aro 
perhaps  innumerable— those  of  the  early 
typographers,  for  instance,  like  ^[tddleton, 
or  like  Harrison  in  Southwark,  who  hung 
out  his  sign  of  the  "Hare  and  Sun,"  to  say 
nothing  of  the  nrmca  jtarlantts  in  lieraldry-

With  reference  to  Mr.  Radcufke's  note  on 
"dog's  nose,"  it  may  be  interesting  to  men- 
tion that  some  few  years  ago  I  was  staying 
at  an  inn  on  the  Biith  road,  and  the  lancllord 
iufurmetJ  roe  that  the  drink  principally 
affected  by  the  agricultural  labourers  in  the 
district  was  known  as  "a  penn'orth  and  a 
ha'p'orth."  This  is  evidently  dog's  nose 
onaer  another  name.  The  inquiry  in  this 
form  had  at  first  mystified  the  landlord,  but 
it  is  possible  the  name  may  be  used  in  other 
parts  of  England.  VV.  II.  Fox. 

Your  correspondent  has  omitted  one  e.ssen- 
iial  in  the  compound,  viz.,  that  it  should  be 
nerved  hot.  In  fact,  the  tipple  takes  its  name 
from  the  conical  metal  vessel  which,  provided 
with  a  handle,  was  thrust  iitto  the  live  coals  of 
an  inn  fire  to  warm  the  contents.  Fifty  yearx 
ago  no  country  inn  was  without  this  utensil, 
which  was  in  great  demand  when  outdoor 
«ports  were  going  on  in  the  ueighbourhood  in 
tlie  winter. 

Alternative  names  were  "gin-hot"  and 
"early  purl"  (1  pearl).  A  considerate  land- 
lady would  add  a  dust  of  all-spice.

Ballad  dy  ReniNALD  Hkbkr  :  W.  Cuane 
(10"'  S.  V.  1R4).— I  can  satisfy  Mr.  C'ann 
IIt;f>aK.s  as  to  the  i<lentity  of  VV.  (Vane,  of 
Choster,  He  was  tho  VVilliam  Crane,  a 
brother  of  my  father  (Thoma«  Crane),  who, 


with  him,  established  the  lithographic  pres» 
in  the  first  quarter  of  tlie  nineteenth  cen- 
tury at  Chester.  I  do  not  know  the  exact 
date,  but  I  think  it  must  have  boeu  in  the- 
twenties. 

William  Crane,  however,  died  early,  and  I 
think  the  firm  was  given  up  on  or  before  my 
father's  marriage,  about  1B39,  ho  (Thomas 
Crane)  living  until  1859.  An  account  of  hi o* 
will  be  found  in  the  '  Dictionary  of  National 
Biography.'  Ho  flesigned  much  of  the  litho- 
graphic work  for  theChester  press,  iticluding 
many  portraits  of  local  and  county  worthies 
of  the  perio«l. 

The  balla<l  Mn.  Cank  Hugrk.s  speaks  of 
and  quotes  I  never  saw,  but  1  recnember  as  a 
child  tho  'Hunting  Songs'  quite  well,  and 
also  "The  Adventures  of  Mr.  Pig  and  Mis» 
Crane'— a  aerias  of  lithographed  de-signs  by 
T.  Oane  accompanied  by  verses,  a  tattered 
copy  of  which  1  still  have,  as  well  as  some  of 
the  lithoKrapho<l  portraits.  The  brother* 
also  issued  a  set  of  views  of  Xorth  Wales, 
including  the  Menai  bridge. 

I  think  William  Crane  (whom  1  never  saw) 
principally  looked  after  the  printing,  wliiio 
my  father  was  respon.siblo  for  the  designing 
and  drawiog  on  tito  stone. 

The  Thomas  Crane  ("sworn  free  of  Chester 
City'")  must  have  been  ray  paternal  grand- 
father. I  have  a  Bible  with  liis  atmotations 
and  Ex-Librisin  a  neat,  carefulhand. 

I  cannot  give  any  itifornmtion  as  to  tho 
liishop  of  Calcutta  or  the  ballad. 

Walter  Crane 

homkr  and  the  duiamma  (10'"  s.  v.  ig81, 
abO).— So  far  an  this  "figure'"  has  a  history, 
it  is  Asiatic  of  ^Eolia,  where  it  represents  the 
Semitic  rnu,  and  is  found  in  I>atin  as  our/i 
tho  Greek  <{>.  To  me  it  appears  to  be  only  a 
"breathing,"  like  our  poor  letter  /*,  the 
Creek  asnirate. 

The  subject  has  been  fought  over  in  pasb 
generations,  and  it  seems  cui-ious  that  all  the 
modern  excavations  and  tliscoveries  of  papy  li 
have  not  proved  its  character  as  genuine  iu 
European  Greek.  A.  H.

An  excellent  example  of  a  mediaeval  cope- 
cheitt  may  be  seen  in  the  fine  fifteenth- 
century  church  of  tit.  Euatachiuii  at 
TaviMtock.  Trapezoid  in  shape,  it  looks  not 
unlike  a  tiua^-irant  lx>x.  Marie  of  oak,  it

Cromwell's  Burial  Plack  (lo^''  S.  v.  205).—

■daughter  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  as  stated  by

to  suppose  that  Bridget,  the  daughter  of 
Cromwoll,  the  widow  of  Ireton,  and  the 
wife   of    Charlea    Fleetwood,  ever    entered

boards/ by  John  Camden  Hotten,  third

This,  however,  can  scarcely  be  the  English 
source  of  tlie  Italian  author.

In  the  writings  of  the  several  authorities 
on  John  Day  I  can  find  nothing  to  justify 
the  point  raised  by  Pathick  that  Day  s 
device  and  motto,  "Arise,  for  it  is  Day,"  is 
M,  parody  on  Ezekiel  vii.  10.  Most  writers, 
including  Ames  and  the  author  of  the  article 
in  the  "  Dictionary  of  National  Biography,' 
regard  his  device  simply  as  a  pun  on  his 
imiiie  I  but  W.  Roberts,  in  his  work  on 
'Printers'  Marks'  (1893),  says:  "His  best- 
known  device  has  a  double  meaning :  first 
it  is  a  pun  on  his  name,  and  secondly  an 
allusion  to  the  dawn  of  the  Protestattt 
religion."  Such  punning  allusions  to  the 
printer's  name  wore  quite  common  among 
the  devices  of  the  early  typographers,  two 
notable  instances  being  Grafton's  device  of  a

Day's  motto  does  not  appear  to  bear  any 
intentiotvil  allusion  to  Ezelciel  vii.  10.  It  is 
apparently  a  purely  humorous  conceit  of  hi« 
own.  His  sign  was,  however,  the  "  Resur- 
rection," an  allusion  to  his  name:  and  in  at 
least  one  instance  ho  published  his  own 
portrait  as  a  colophon,  representing  him, 
whip  in  liand,  in  a  room  over  the  City 
entrance  of  Ahlersgate  whore  his  boys  slept. 
The  sun  has  just  risen,  and,  accompanying 
Iiis  words  with  a  tlourish  of  the  whip,  he 
facetiously  bids  tliera  "Arise!  for  it  is  Day." 
A  note  made  some  years  ago  is  somewhat 
obscure,  but  I  think  this  colophon  will  be 
found  among  the  Bagford  title-pages- 

J.  HoLDEX  MacMichael. 

The  name  of  Day  rather  lends  itself  to 
punning  mottoes.  The  Rev.  J.  J.  Day,  who, 
thirty  years  ago,  was  vicar  of  one  of  the 
Gateshead  parishes,  adorned  his  letter-paper 
with  the  rising  sun  and  this  motto  :  "And 
the  evening  and  the  morning  wore  the  first 
day."  Not  to  be  behiudliand,  his  spiritual 
he^d,  Archdeacon  Prost,  rector  of  Gates- 
head, adopted  the  motto  of  the  Carmichaels 
anrf  other  faniili&s  :  "Toujouis  Prest."  A 
local  wit  issued  some  doggerel  rimes  on  the 
subject,  the  burden  of  which  was  that  the 
archdeacon's  ancestry  was  the  older,  because, 
while  there  was  no  day  till  the  Creation, 
Prest  had  always  existed.

Tub   present   reviewer  hiM  studied  Pelroniiia  for 
WMie  yeftM  in  a  French  edition,  no  Engliah  one

"a  lecture-iubjec't."  and  conae<|iicnt.Iy  he  has  been 
generalljr  iinKleuted  by  tlie   Inrj^e   body  of  cl&ssical 
teachers,  lutora,  and   profesoors,  who  go   the  old 
round  of  familiar  things,  and  save  themaeU'ea  the 
tronbleof  inveatig-aling  tiehia  which  to  the  literary 
mind   are  remarkable  alike   for  Bowers  and  weeds. 
Petroniu!<   is   memorable  for    many    reasons.     His 
rmmblinK     novel,    for    such     it     is,    recalliiif;    the 
picares<(ue  gaiety  of  'Gil  Rlas,'  haa  given  us  such

9M  tntgbt  make  the  moat  vivacious  of  novHists  of 
to-<Uy  envious.    The   time   is  Nero's:    that   can 
llArdly    lie    doubted ;    and    the    profusion    of    the 
banquet  is  i|uil«  in  accordance  with  the  vulgar  dia-

chrooiclea  at  length,    if  wo    could  have  the  re- 
marks of  the  writers  and  sycophants  of  last  season 
or  the  next,  they  would  probably  remind  us  of  tlie 
lani^uaKC  of  I  tie  slaves  and  hangers-on  of  I'etroniu!*. 
*' \\  hat  a  nice  frost  we've  liecn  having!''  is  the 
be((innini;  >>f  a  conversation.     And  from  tlie  greallv' 
darint:  '  'iucated  we  have  heard  just  aucn 

«liatori  iinmar  and  mythology  aa  proceed 

froiu    i ......... ..i.<     It   has    been  complained  that 

Dobody  baa  any  conscience  in  Petronius,  as  if  all 
litcralare  must  be  "  improving,"  and  a  decadent 
•ooiety  niu«t  be  credited  with  non-existent  ro- 
strainta.  Hn  rri'aurfi',  our  author  makea  people 
Almost  aa  saperstitiout  as  they  are  to-day,  'I'hey 
do  nut,  it  is  true,  believe  the  same  things,  but  their 
oredulily  in  about  the  same  in  quality  and  aignili- 
oe  as  that  of  tbo  drones  of  the  twentieth 
lury. 

Mr.  Lowe  is  disapiwintingly  brief  in  his  Intro- 
dnctioQ,  but  he  states  that  the  writer  of  the  M.'ena* 
was  "mo»t  probibly"  the  Petronius  of  T<icitUB, 
who  lounged  into  a  reputation,  and  went  through 
the  usual  uoiirae  of  being  the  favourite  and  victim 
of  Nero.  We  should  have  had,  we  think,  a  fair 
■tAtement  of  some  of  the  ditllculties  involved  in 
thai  view,  with  the  answers  to  them  ;  and  we 
expect e<i  further  some  note  as  to  the  date  of  the 
Mt»S  on  which  the  text  is  based,  and  as  to  the 
•cra|n  of  poetry  interspersed  in  the  narrative, 
which  have  occasionallr  a  touch  of  Persius.  The 
antbor's  style  alone  i^  of  the  highest  interest  to  the 
etndent  of  langjUitge ;  but  perhaps  the  average 
feailer  cannot  be  expected  to  take  mucfi  trouble 
with  a  dilKcult  subject ;  at  any  rate,  be  will  hardly 
t>e  enlightened  by  a  reference  to  the  '  A[kk:o- 
^o<>yn^o^tlt'  of  .S^inef^a.  We  find  a  'lUtxl  which 
•  I  '  of  the  modern  French  <;«'■, 

»>  :  by    iiself  like    the   French 

>  •,  gome  striking  cxamptefl  of 

that  want  of  cotiuexiun  which  makes  the  lingo  of 
tliM  urtMliirated  both  invertebrate  and  forcible. 

'  f  that   Trimalchio   was   intended  as  a 

<•  I  i  Nero  waa  hardly   worth    conlrudict- 

iii„  .  -■  V  .>iild,  we  think,  liave  been  more  to 
the  pouit  to  explain  in  the  Intr<Kluctioa  that 
wealthy  and  tolerably  worthless  freednteu  such  as 
Pallu,  the  favourite  of  Claudius,  who  was  dia* 


IF 


carded  by  Nero,  offer  an  obvious  prototype  for  the- 
aforesaid  chief  character. 

Hut  while  we  endorse  all  the  b-i^f  remarks  made 
about  the  object  of  the  author  and  hi»  delicieauiea 
on  the  moral  side  (on  which  we  have  already 
lightly  touched),  we  muat  add  that  Potroniu» 
deserves  praise  for  taste  and  powers  of  criticisuv 
which  he  does  not  got  here.  It  ia  true  that  the 
idiots  of  his  romiinco  often  say  his  best  things  in  & 
spirit  of  mockery  or  irreverence  ;  but  that  does  not 
prevent  ua  from  thinking  these  things  very  good4 
Uifl  beet  verse  is  not  in  the 'Cent'  by  a'ly  roeansr 
and,  iirobably  on  account  of  its  inancesaibility,  liaa 
been  out  scantily  reproduced  in  L%iia  anthologies. 

To  tuni  to  the  translation  and  notes,  we  are  well 
satistiied  with  both.  Mr.  I^nwe  has  ateered  clear  o^ 
the  literalnesB  of  the  pedant,  and,  thanks  largely 
to  iierman  eru<iitiun,  lias  been  able  io  supply  many 
illuminating  parallels  in  his  notes,  which  are 
printed  in  the  best  poasible  place  for  the  ^tudent, 
at  the  l>ottum  of  the  page.  Thestudurit  of  folk-lore- 
is  well  served  both  by  author  iimi  editor,  for  here 
lie  will  liiid  one  of  the  moat  fuiiii)us  »tories  in  the 
world— that  of  the  Kphcaian  matron ;  a  were-wolf 
legend  told  in  thrillingly  veracious  style  ;  aud  a 
.Sibyl  in  a  bottle,  who.  Dr.  James  says  in  Tfu 
C'/nij'icn/  lirvinr,  represents,  like  Tilnonui,  ai> 
immortal  shrunk  to  the  pro|K>rtions  of  an  insect, 
and  so  answers,  "  I  want  to  die."  It  is  satia factory 
to  find  that  the  majority  of  the  references  in  tlve 
notM  are  given  in  full,  for  the  best  of  Latin- 
dictionaries  available  in  England  are  incomplete  os- 
refcards  Petronius. 

We  hope  that  Mr.  Lowe's  very  capable  editing 
will  increase  the  readers  of  a  most  enlivening; 
record,  which  is  almost  a  tittio  guide  to  Koniaiv 
antiquities.  TJiose  who  have  tuded,  for  purpose  of 
"cram"  generally,  through  '(iallus,'  the  jejune 
collection  of  Becker,  itself  a  ghaJitly  pretenoeofa 
story,  cannot  fail  to  be  surprised  and  delighted 
witii  Petronius.  8ome  satirist  might  take  him  as  ik 
basis  for  a  survey  of  manners  and  education  in  this 
present  year  of  grace,  but  a  story  comprising 
iiurposeful  and  tolerably  lurid  caricatures  oould 
hardly  be  a  novelty  or  a  diHtijiguished  affair  to-day. 

"  Whatever  you  leara  is  so  much  market  value 

there  is  a  mint  of  money  in  a  good  education.  '  Do- 
not  these  practical  sentiments  sound  like  adver-

Mk.  H.  Stu.vkt  JoSKs's  excellent  paper  on  'Art 
imder  the  Kuman  Empire '  will  remove  not  a  few 
1)reiudices  of  long  slunding.  It  is  a  oommou 
opinion,  inl»cri-led  from  "Ur  teachers  of  pasit  genera- 
lions,  that  mIi  le  at  their  l>est  tho  tirecks  carried 
iho  highest  ideals  of  art  to  a  jtorfcction  never  seen 
■eUewhere,  the  Romans  wero  maatly  mere  copyists. 
>Ve  need  not  say  that  there  is  a  tnith  hidilcn  in 
this,  but  as  commonly  taught  it  is  mure  error  or 
|irt'judice.  Still,  though  we  miial  admit  that  fur 
the  most  t>art  study  look  the  place  of  inspiration, 
this  waff  by  no  means  inevitable.  For  example, 
there  can  be  nothing  ntore  exquisite  than  souib  <if

"TOUR." 

Tub  etymoloKjr  of  this  curious  verb  was 
Ions  unknown.  Skinner  rQa<le  two  shots  at 
it :  one  wholly  absurd,  and  the  otlier  that  it 
■s  derived  from  the  Latin  /mrarc,  to  purify 
or  clarify,  wJiich  happens  to  be  right. 

It  was  first  explained  by  mo  iu  lyOO  ;  and 
tlie  explanation  (a  long  one)  appears  in  my 
•Notes  on  English  Etynmlogy,'  p.  257, 
There  are  two  diflicultios  :  one  an  to  the 
^ound,  and  the  other  at  to  tiie  sense. 

As  to  tlie  soufjd,  the  development  in 
abnormal;  for  it  rime^  with  no  word  ending 
in  -our  except  four,  which  is  not  a  true 
instance,  beiu^  contracted  from  fowet-y  as  it 
is  %till  pronounced  in  Oarabridgeshiro,  where 
it  rimes  with  mower. 

The  A.F.  long  n  was  generally  developed 
so  as  to  give  the  modern  E.  u  in  jmrt^  or  else 
the  ou  in  s/xxf*"-  (A.-F.  tt/mit) ;  ao  we 
sbotihl  expect  the  A.-F.  /wi"**'  togiveamotlern 
verb  f'>/>io«,or  else  aformyx'U/',  whi-:li  would 
be  pronounced  as  /K>jf'fj'— precisely   parallel 

El  Latin  r,.rrurnye,  A.-F.   etcurer,  laodern  E, 
9iu;  to  furbish  up. 
Thii  givea  a  very  groat  interest  to  the 


statement.  n»te,  p.  172,  that  the  late  John 
Bright  did  actually  pronounce  pour  as  /fower, 
i.e.,  in  a  normal  way  ! 

Moreover,  when  we  look  up  the  reference 
to  Pope's  '  Messiah,'  1.  40, 

And  on  the  sightleu  eyeball  pour  the  day, 
we  find  that  we  have  reason  to  believe  that 
Pope  likewise  approved   of   the  sante  pro- 
nunciation.   For,  only  a  few  lines  above,  he 
has : — 

Ye  lieavens  !  from  high  the  dewy  nectar  pour. 
And  ill  aoft  ailenco  shed  the  kindly  show^^r. 

And  Gay  seems  to  have  been  of  the  same 
opinion.  In  his  poem  on  'Tlie  Fan,'  Book  I.,

of  the  cause  of  tlie  women  workers  of  London. 
It  was  expet-te<l  to  open  early  tl>is  year.  It

of  wjiich  led  to  its  being  started.  It  will

In  Vincent  Sauare,  at  the  corner  of  Elverton 
(formerly  Bell)  Street,  is  another  building 
devotefl  to  the  same  objects  (see  10"'  S.  iii. 
382),  and  in  future  to  be  known  as  St.  (Jeorge's 
House.  It  was  built  by  Mis^  Murray  Smith, 
the  daughter  of  the  late  well-known  pub- 
lisher Mr.  George  Smith,  of  whom  it  has 
been  written  that  she  wished  to  "benefit 
some  of  London's  myriad  of  working  women 
in  a  practical  way."  It  was  opened  in  AuKu.st 
last,  and  up  to  the  end  of  the  year  liad 
justified  its  existence.  Westminster  folk 
regretted  in  some  measure  the  name  given 
to  tike  building,  as  it  was  thought  that  it 
would  have  l)«?en  called  "Bradley  "  House, 
after  the  lalo  Dean  of  Westminster,  wlio

g»ret'a  lliey  are  not  nearly  so  riuniorous. 
Thei-e  are  many  rumours  of  impending 
change^,  but  at  present  they  are  beyond  the 
scope  of  thi^  note.  The  Government  offices 
in  I'lirliaraent  Street,  at  the  corner  of  Great 
George  Street  and  extending  to  Charles 
Street,  were  at  the  close  of  l!)0o  •itill  being 
proce«*:ied  witli,  but  much  work  remains  to 
be  done,  and  a  considerable  )>erio<t  must 
eUpne  before  they  are  complete.  It  is  said 
the  progress,  if  apparently  slow,  hua  been 
upon  the  whole  satisfactory,  when  the  magni- 
tude of  tlie  work  is  considered.  On  tlie 
A'ictoria  Embankment,  and  for  some  distance 
down  the  private  road  leading  to  Derby 
Street,  is  a  buildiuK  for  ollices.  Tiie  ground 
and  first  fl«>ors  will  be  use<l  by  the  police 
authorities,  the  iirst  lloor  being  conneGted 
with  New  Scotland  Yard  by  au  archway  over 
the  road. 

To  St.  Margaret's  folk  i>erliap!»  the  most 
interesting  work  has  V>een  the  enlargement 
of  the  old  parish  church,  by  the  rebuilding 
of  the  east  wall  of  the  nave  about  si.Y  feet 
further  east,  tlie  cleaning  and  releading  of 
the  fine  old  east  window,  and  various  other 
small  but  necessary  works.  The  wall  liad 
become  in  a  very  bad  condition,  and  ex|>erls 
have  stated  that  if  lhi.s  work  had  been  de- 
layed for  another  ten  years  the  probabilities 
are  that  the  whole  of  tlie  east  end  would, 
through  sheer  decay,  have  fallen.  The  work 
wa-H  lieguii  on  31  July,  and  the  progre.ss 
made  l)y  the  end  of  Decemljer  wariaiitod  the 
Htalein(*nt  that  it  was  hoped  the  window 
would  Ije  completed  by  the  time  that  Parlia- 
ment assembled— and  this  was  the  case.  The 
effect  is  very  fine,  fur  the  l>eauties  of  the 
window  will  bfl  bet(-cr  seen,  it  having  been 
raise<l  about  five  feet,  ami    the  extra  room 

SainwJ  ill  the  chancel    will    enable  greater 
ignity  to  be  given  to  the  services,  both  on 
Sundays  and  on  special  occasions. 

In  Tothill  Street,  upon  a  portion  of  the 
site  where  the  l{oyalA(iu*rium  formerly  stocwl, 
there  has  been  erected  a  large  building,  to  be 
known  as  Caxton  House,  which  is  int«nde<l 
to  be  devoted  to  olHces.  It  wa-s  nearing  com 
pletiun  at  the  end  of  the  ycAr.  In  Great 
C'hapol  Street  the  ground  has  been  cleared 
from  Members'  Mansions  to  the  corner  of 
Dacre  Street.  A  start  was  made  in  June 
with  No.  18,  which  had  been  in  the  occu- 
pation of  the  Scudamore  family  since 
M'J't,  the  resident  at  that  time  being  the 
uncle  of  the  late  proprietor's  great-great- 
grandfather. The  grantlfather,  Thomas 
Scuihiraore,  was  a  well-known  parish  man, 
who  {a.H  may  be  seen  by  my  'Notes  on  the 
Churchwardens  of  St.  Margaret's,  Wostmiu- 


ster,' published  in  'J'/if  ]i'estnu'n»lei' and  Pinv 
lira  J\  ews  from  30  September  to  18  November^ 
1904)  served  as  overseer  in  1835-G-7,  the- 
s«me  ofiice  being  held  in  1877-8-y,  by  hit 
sou  Walter  Moseley  Scudamore,  who  became- 
churchwai-den  in  I883-J.  Both  these  gentle- 
men were  assiduous  vestrymen,  working  with. 
great  zeal  for  the  good  of  the  parish. 

Nos.  2(j  and  27,  Groat  Chapel  Street  have- 
also  l>eeii  demolished.  Tlie  former  hou.se  was- 
long  in  the  occupation  of  Mr.  George  Barber, 
a  clothier,  and  No.  27  wa.s  tenanted  by  Mr. 
Ivlxviii  Heart!,  a  dealer  in  old  furniture  and 
antiques  generally.  Tiiey  aie  both  deceased, 
but  are  rememberetl  in  Westminster  as  havin(^ 
been  goo«l  citi-^ens.  lioth  were  on  the  vestry 
for  many  years,  and  assistoti  in  numerous 
parocliial  reforms. 

The  building  in  the  Sanctuary  vacated  by 
the  National  Society  has  been  taken  over 
bi'  the  Middlesex  County  Council,  and  lia* 
been  adapted  to  the  use  of  several  of  its- 
departments— notably  the  Education  Ofiice- 
is  located  licre,  so  lliat  the  ohi  building  is- 
not  divorced  from  the  objects  witii  which  it 
lias  so  long  been  connected. 

Some  additions  to  llie  Arclibishop's  Ilouse- 
and  Clergy  House  attnclicfl  to  the  Unman 
Catholic  Cathedral  have  been  completed. 
Close  by,  in  Cuckingham  Cottages,  Nos.  lii- 
aud  17  to  20  were  empty,  and  ready  for 
demolition,  as  the  ground  U[)on  which  they 
st^nd  is  to  be  devoted  to  a  new  street,  to- 
ho  called  Stillingt^n  Street,  running  from- 
Rochester  Uow  to  Francis  Street.  I'remise* 
at  the  corner  of  Coburg  How,  formerly  in 
the  occupation  of  tlie  Auxiliary  Army  and' 
Navy  Sujiply,  Limited,  were  pulleil  down,  and 
the  land  will  be  utilized  for  the  same  scheme, 
III  York  Street  Niagara  Hall  has  lost  its 
identity,  for  it  has  become  tim  projierty  of 
the  Woi.seley  To*j1  and  Motor  Car  Company. 
The  old  hall  was  long  a  feature  in  London, 
being  the  home  of  one  of  the  beat  panoramas- 
ever  painted,  and  latterly  a  fashionable- 
skating  rink. 

Hei-e  the  record  for  last  year  must,  I  think. 
come  to  an  end  ;  but  siiould  the  list  of 
changes  be  found  to  l>e  incomplete  or  wrong, 
in  detail,  correction  will  be  welcoiue.

To  begin  with,  it  is  ilitficult  to  see  how  a 
fourteenth -century  West  Midland  form  can 
Ity  itself  "confirm"  an  otherwise  unex- 
ampled form  in  Shakesj^eare.  If  rttle  and 
tUafr  were  true  Elizabethan  variants  of  evil, 
«f"'7.  they  would  be  pronounced,  I  supposed, 
'.  not<V,  del ;  and  wldle  eulf  mignt  be  a 
I  1   le  spelling  for  ll  (evil),  to  distinguish 

kit  itom  f<'/e  (eel),  deale  in  unlikely'  for  dll. 
Gill  (Ellis,  p.  857)  knows  fti4,  but  merely  as 
h  Northern  provincialism  ;  Butler  {ilid., 
L876)  apparently  does  not  recognize  the  form. 
I  Uut  in  '  Hamlet,'  II.  ii.  (>28  (Q.  2), 
I  May  be  a  deale,  and  the  dettle  halb  |>ower, 
the  finst  dfiilc  cannot  possibly  be  mono- 
syllabic, while  det>l  or  dirl  would  be  suHi- 
ciently  monoftyllabic  for  the  second  dealt: 

The  fact  is  that  cira/f dcrt/f  are  simply 

mi>iprint3  iordeuU dtult{  =  \i\  Elizabethan 

orthography  (/<;i7''),  a  form  which  is  exampled 
in  y.  -1  (III.  ii.  1.36):  "Nay  then  letthedeule 
weare  blacke."  Similarly  «i/^  is  a  misprint 
for  nde—cvle=evil.  The  unusual  spelling, 
the  close  resemblance  between  written  n  and 
w,  and  the  obscurity  of  the  passage  are  quite 
enough  to  account  for  the  printer  a  error. 
Unfortunately,  he  committed  more  blunders 
than  one.  M.  Hi'NTEU.

"OSEYERS,"  '1  Henhy  IV.,'  II.  i.  (10"'  S. 
iv.  443). — Dr.  Kbcegek's  MUggention  is  inter- 
esting. In  the  glossary  of  'The  Dramatic 
Works  of  W.  Shakspeare,'  printed  in  Paris 
in  183:>  and  sold  by  Arayot,  one  finds  "  Onri/eis, 
bankern."  This  nuggests  "  moneyerp."  The 
burgomaster  being  a  continent*!  otlicial,  it 
occurs  to  me  that  "oneyers"  might  Iw  a 
inispriut  of  some  derivative  of  French  tnn'r, 
in  the  sense  of  a  judge  who  listens  to  plead- 
ingij,  like  ouvidm'  in  Portuguese  and  fjidor  in 
Castilian,  which  means  "a  kind  of  auditor." 
Not  unlike  ontjfer  is  Dutch  oH<rr= dishonour, 
m  term  which  mi^ht  conceivably  be  applied 
to  a  judge  or  magistrate  disrespectfully.

I'liAKLia  Lamd  at  Wedpings.— The  Elia 
y  'The  Wedding'  commemorates,  as 
Lamb  students  are  aware,  the  marriage  of 
Admiral  Burney's  daughter  Sarah  with  her 
cousin  John  Thomas  Payne  on  14  April,  1821, 
•'I  could  not  resist,"  writes  Elia,  "tlie  im- 
portunities of  the  young  la<ly's  father,  whose 
gout  unhappily  confined  him  at  home,  to  act 
M  parent  on  this  occasion  and  f/ire  awi!/  f/tt 
trt-idt"  Com n)en ting  on  this,  ilr.  Lucas,  in 
liis  recent  'Life  of  Ciiarles  Lamb,'  remarks  : 
*'  Whether  lie  really  gave  away  the  bride,  or 
only  afiocted  to  have  done  so,  I  cannot  say.' 


There  now  lies  before  me  a  copy  of  the 
entry  in  the  Kegiater  Book  of  Marriages  in 
the  Pariah  nf  St.  Margaret,  Westminster, 
which  makes  it  certain  that  Lamb  did  not 
act  as  tlie  "grave  father,"  from  the  fact  that 
the  marriage  was  solemnized  in  the  presence, 
amongst  others,  of  the  bride's  father.  There 
woulti  thus  bo  no  reason  for  Lamb's  acting^ 
in  any  other  capacity  than  that  of  an  inter- 
e»te«l  spectator.  "The  bride  maids,  the  three 
charming  Miss  Foresters,"  mentioned  in  the 
essay,  were  probably  the  three  young  ladies 
wlio  with  others  signed  the  Itegi.ster— Anne 
Tomlinaon,  Elizabetli  Maud  Tomlinson,  and 
Maria  Tomlinson. 

On  the  occasion,  however,  of  the  marriage 
of  Emma  Isola  with  Edward  Moxon,  Lamb 
did  give  away  the  bride.  I  have  lately 
ascertained  that  the  ceremony  took  place  at 
St.  George's,  Hanover  Square,  by  licence, 
and  that  I^amb's  name  appears  Brst  in  order 
of  those  who  witnessed  tlie  marriage.

Ancient  Welsh  Copk.  — The  church  of 
St.  Martin,  Laugharne,  in  Carmarthenshire, 
possesses  a  beautiful  old  cope  of  red  and 
gold  velvet  beau  brocade  of  the  second  half 
of  the  fifteenth  century,  probably  the  gift  of 
one  of  the  several  Sir  (iuy  de  Brians,  who 
were  benefactors  of  the  church. 

The  village  sexton  or  clerk  hav  been  in  the 
habit  of  cutting  portions  off  this  fine  old 
vestment  (wliich  has  orphreys  embroidered 
with  prophets  and  other  saints),  and  dis- 
posing of  them  to  viijitors.  An  eflort  is 
now  being  made  to  safeguard  what  remains. 
The  pieces  that  are  lefi  have  been  carefully 
remounted,  and  the  whole  will  shortly  be 
glazed  and  hung  up  in  the  church.  Should 
this  meet  the  eye  of  Miy  persons  who  possess 
missing  portions  of  the  cope,  they  are  re- 
queste<i  to  send  such  fragments  to  Mrs. 
McClure,  80,  Eccleston  Square,  S.W.,  who 
has  been  entrusted  with  the  remounting  of 
the  vestment.

"  Place."— We  should  like  to  get  as  much 
information  as  possible  about  the  use  of  this 
word  in  the  topographical  nomenclature  of 
cities,  towns,  and  villages,  as  in  Bury  Place, 
Ely  Place,  Langliam  I'lace,  Portland  Place. 
When  did  names  of  thi.i  type  begin  in  Great 
Britain  ?  What  early  examples  can  lie  given  ] 
When,  for  example,  was  Ely  Place  name<l  7 
In  the  Jiixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries 
we  find  plitcf  frequently  used  in  reference  to 
foreign  cities,  rendering  Fr. /)/ace,  Sp.  7^/a:i, 
It.  piazza,  Ger.  jiluti,  Du.  }<l>iat^,  «kc. ;  and 
always,  of  cour.se,  in  its  proper  sense  of  the 
|uare,  public  place,  market  place,  or  jdare 
'arnus  of  the  town,  or  of  a  regularly  built 
ui::-t,  as  in  Pome  or  Florence.  I  presume 
that  it  was  in  this  sense  of  "open  square"  or 
the  like  that  tlie  name  was  firHt  inlro<]uccd 
<perl(ap3  as  a  grandiose  orstylisli  name)  into 
London  and  English  towns,  where  it  rapidly 
degenerate*!  into  a  denomination  for  any  area, 
group,  or  row  of  liouses,  not  a  street.  In 
the  riineteentli  century  many  streets  had 
"places"  in  them,  the  name  having  been 
given  by  builders  to  a  small  row  of  houses, 
standing  by  themselves  on  a  suburban  road, 
or  perhaps  merely  distinguished  from  others 


by  being  the  property  of  one  landlord  or 
builder.  And  before  the  road  in  question 
had  become  a  street,  and  could  be  tiumbered 
continuouslv,  it  was  necessary  to  have  some 
means  of  distinguishing  and  localizing  the 
numerous  groups  or  rows  of  houses  which  it 
contained  ;  for  which  purpose  **  place,"  as 
the  common  English  word  for  a  point  or  part 
of  space,  a  locnit,  lieu,  or  oit,  was  very  handy. 
It  would  be  extremly  diJHcult  now  to  say 
what  a  '*  place  "  is  in  English  town  nomen- 
clature, unless,  i>erhap3,  by  a  negative  state- 
ment that  what  is  so  designated  is  usually 
not  a  street  or  road,  but  may  be  almost 
anything  else,  from  a  well-built  aristocratic 
square  to  a  small  nondescript  area  off  a  back 
street,  or  an  isolated  group  of  three  houses 
by  a  suburban  wayside.  I  should  be  glad  of 
suggestions  for  a  definition. 

As  to  earlier  usage,  we  find  T.  Washington, 
in  translating  Nicolay's  '  Voyages,'  writing, 
in  1»85,  of  an  Oriental  city,  "The  places  and 
streets  are  well  ordeined '"  ;  A.  Lovell,  in 
1687,  writing,  "There  are  in  it  many  lovely 
Piazza's  or  Places,  a-s  that  which  is  before 
the  Palace  of  his  Eminence";  and  even 
Macaulay,  in  1818,  referring  to  the  Piazza 
Navona  "at  Home  as  "  the  stately  Place  of 
Navona."  In  1706  J.  Owen,  in  his  'Travels 
into  Europe,'  ii.  458,  writes  of  a  German 
city  :— 

"  Thern  are  Bonie  sqiiareB,  »s  we  in>|>rop"rly  caU 
tljeni  in  EnnUiid,  liiit  which  ihc  f  ieniiana.  aa  well

(!orreB|>onditig  to  the  I'roncU  VUce  and  the  lUlian 
1'iuz.za." 

This  would  tend  to  show  that,  so  late  m 
1796,  "Place"  was  at  lea-st  not  common  in 
English  street  nomenclature.  So  far  aa 
I  am  acquainted  with  provincial  towns, 
"Place"'  does  not  belong  at  all  to  the  old 
nomenclature,  but  entirely  to  the  era  of 
modern  building.  In  Hawick  I  think  the 
first  "place"  dates  to  alxiut  1830.  But  it  is 
very  desirable  to  have  actual  dates  for  the 
denomination,  not  only  from  Ij««ni'»n  and 
Bath,  but  from  towns  and  village^  "  r

much  to  the  disgust  of  John  tlvelyn  and 
all  other  good  men  of  the  time.  That  the 
slip  in  the  Christian  name  was  originally 
made  in  explained  by  tlie  fact  that  the  king 
(wlien  Duke  of  York)  had  an  earlier  mistress, 
AiftM/n  Cliurchill,  sister  of  the  Duke  of 
Martborougli,  and  mother  of  the  scarcely  less 
famous  Duke  of  Berwick.  ]ioth  ladies,  with 
names  correctly  given,  are  embalmed  in  the 
immortal  pages  of  Macaulay's  own  '  History.' 
Can  any  one  account  for  the  perpetuation 
of  this  blunder  through  so  many  Kuccessive 
reprints  of  the  essay  on  Mackintosli,  par- 
ticularly as  repnxlucod  in  issue  after  issue 
of  that  standard  edition  in  the  preface  to

presses the  wish  that  "bis  writings,  if  they 
are  read,  may  be  read  in  an  edition  free  at

BuRXEY  F.\Mii.T.— Being  desirous  of  tracing 
the  lineage  of  the  family  of  the  distinguished 
Dr.  Charles  Burney,  author  of 'The  History 
of  Music  •  (o6.  1814),  I  should  b3  glad  of  any 
information  as  to  the  names  of  the  children 
of  liis  son  Dr.  Charles  Burney,  the  eminent 
Greek  scholar  {oh.  1817),  who  married  a 
daughter  of  Dr.  Rose  (translator  of  Sallust), 
of  Chiswick,  in  1783.  In  the  '  Dictionary  of 
National  Biography'  only  one  son,  the  Kev. 
Cliarle«  Parr  Burney,  D.D.,  afterwards 
archdeacon  (oi.  November,  J 864)  is  men- 
tionocl.  The  Rev.  Alexander  D'Arblay 
Burney,  vicar  of  Witliam  Mary  {oh.  July, 
1881),  in  the  local  obituary  was  stated  to  be 
a  brother  of  the  Rev.  H.  Bannerman  Burney, 
vicar  of  Norton  St.  Philip  (I86G-90) ;  and  the 
latter,  who  died  April,  1800,  married  iiis 
cousin,  dauKhter  of  the  He  v.  Charles  Parr 
Burney.  What  were  the  names  of  the 
latter's  brothers?  I  believe  the  eldest  was

"HAMBERIJONNE"   OF  WHEAT. 

(lO^''  S.  V.  ]J)0.} 

I  VBNTUBE  to  suggest  that  this  word  is  a 
compound  of  <iin^'ei\  an  ancient  corn  measure 
("a  dry  measure  of  four  buHhels,"  '  O.E  D.'), 
and  buiinc,  a  bung  or  barrel.  It  porhnps 
means  llie  same  us  one  of  the  "  vij  Immber 
barelisful"  ('O.ED.,'  from  Caxtou's  'Rey- 
nard '). 

The  amber  is  probably  the  same  ws  the 
awm,  the  Dutch  aam,  the  German  ohm,  a 
measure  of  abimt  34  gallons,  the  KngU.sh 
beer-barrol.  This  measure  is  equivalent  to 
4\  busliels,  but  throughout  Northern  Germany 
the  a<ir/i  or  ohm  is  a  liquid  moaauro  only, 
the  unit  of  corn  measure  being  the  sche/f'el. 
In  Holland  the  schcpel  is  the  bushel  derive<J 
from  the  Amsterdam  cubic  foot.  However, 
it  is  possible  that  the  atun  may  originally 
have  been  used  both  for  dry  and  Huid  measure, 
In  regard  to  bonne,  I  venture  to  assume 
the  past  existence  of  a  word,  an  etymoloaical 
missing  link.      Under  'Bung'  the   'O.K.D.'

being  "an  ardent  Tory."  Where  I  am  now

the  Radicftl  blue.  On  the  day  of  the 
election  I  therefore  wore  orange,  and  scornefl 
everything  blue.  A  few  days  afterwards  I 
had  to  go  to  record  my  vote  in  Mi<l-

are  blue,  and  the  Radical  red.  I  had 
therefore  to  carry  my  blue  rosette  away*

saint's  bearn,  which  may  have  had  some 
connexion  with  the  board«l  oats  that  sprang 
ap  to  conceal  her  path  when  she  fled  from 
her  husband,  was  generally  supposed  to  have 
been  granted  as  adefence  against  the  assaults 
of  the  male  sex ;  but  it  seems  that  this 
adornment  may  be  produced  by  other  inOu-

certain  woman  named  I'hatheusa,  the  wife  of

<.'yclor)edia  of  Practical  Quotations,'  cora- 
plete<i  in  1S95,  and  in  the  preface  Mr.  Hoyt 
f>ay»<  full  tribute  to  her  ability.  During  tlii-s 
work  sfie  made  floarcli  for  the  author  of  tlie 
^ve  stanza  poem  with  the  cradle- rocking 
refrain,  which,  in  whole  or  in  part,  had  been 
for  several  years  a  waif  in  literature— now 
gathered  into  collections  of  'Best  Poems,' 
and  now  appearing  in  newspaper  columns— 
and  learned  the  authoridiip  in  conversation 
with  Mr.  I^igh  in  18L»3  or  1894.  Later,  she 
wrote  to  The  Critic  of  New  York  the  letter

Mr.  Leigh  gave  the  time  of  the  occurrence 
rather  vaguely  as  "  many  years  ago,"  but  if 
he  was  correct  in  his  recollection  of  the  per- 
sons who  participated  in  thi<j  particular 
gathering  it  is  easy  to  fix  the  date  with  close 
approximation.  The  otdy  time  when  Jului 
Brougham  and  Artemus  Ward  could  have 
shared  it)  such  a  familiar  meeting  was  iti  the 
winter  of  18($5-6.  Brougham  returned  from 
London  to  New  York  in  October,  1H05,  while 
Artemus  Wanl.  then  at  the  height  of  his 
popularity,  left  New  A'ork  for  England  (never 
to  return)  some  time  in  18C0.  This  gives  very 
closely  the  date  when  William  Rois  Wallace 
wrote  'The  Hand  that  llules  the  Worhi.'

with  Sir  Uohnrt  Peel's  letters  and  "  franks." 
The  name  "  Puobt.  Peel "  is  neither  litho- 
graphed nor  written  by  a  secretary,  'riie 
letters  enclosed  in  these  envelopes  make 
these  matters  plain.  I  inquired  only  as  to 
uniqueness.  Tlie  letters  were  written  to  a 
friend,  and  no  secretary  intervened.  The 
ink  of  the  frank  "llobt.  Peel"  is  a  little 
faded,  showing  that  seven  or  eight  years 
separated  tlie  writing  on  "franks"  from  tliat 
on  the  address— 'John  Singleton,  Esq."

"Anon"  (10">  S.  i.  24C,  337).  -  What  *»« 
said  at  both  the  above  references  seemed  to 
proceed  on  the  assumption  that  Thackentj'a 
peculiar  use  of  "anon"  was  restricletl  lo 
the  example  quoted  from  the  lecture  on 
(j>eorgo  IV.  Tliere  are,  however,  other  in- 
stances of  precisely  the  Hame  treatment 
elsewhere  in  the  author's  works.  Several  of 
them  occur  in  the  '  Iloundaltout  Paijers.' 
In  the  section,  c.;/.,  entitled  'On  a  Joke  I 
once  UeainJ,'  the  essayist  says,  "  I  saw  Hood 
once  as  a  young  man,  at  a  dinner  which 
seems  almost  as  ghostly  now  us  that  roaD- 
querade  at  llie  Pantheon  (177S)  of  which  we 
were  speaking  anon."  Again,  in  the  happy  dis- 
course which  he  delivers  concerning  'Two 
ltoundalK)Ut  Papers  which  I  intended  to 
Write,'  he  opens  a  piirngrapii  with  the  re- 
murk,  "  We  spake  anon  of  goo<l  thooghts." 
As  an  oflset  to  the«e  irregular  applications 
of  the  particle,  a  legitimate  example  occurs  in 
the  {Miner  'On  Letts's  Diary.'  "The  t^eaii 
of  the  Theatres,"  here  observes  the  homilist, 
"are  composing  the  Christmas  i  '  'no, 
which  our  young  folk  will  see  and  ii 

in   their   little   iliaries."     Kviderii  is 

suggested   at  the  second  of  the  r- 

ences.  Thackeray  considered  that  ;..  «  ..-(jL- 
able  flexibility  of  "anon"  was  similar  to 
tliat  which  characterized  ilir>  T.jiiiii  o'/m.  and 
therefore  deliberately  11  >r  past 

or  present,  to  suit  his  im:  ,si\    It

Uirklanda,  Soiitliport. 

Several  years  ago  I  used  frequently  to 
«pend  Christma.s  with  a  relative  (now 
deceased),  who  wa-s  then  in  pos-session  of  our 
Ancient  family  residence  in  the  neighbour- 
iioo<l  of  Newport^  Monmouthshire;  and  as 
the  house  at  this  neason  was  filled  with 
^ue«)Wi,  the  services  of  an  ol<l  waiter  in  Now- 
port  (who  rejoiced  in  tlie  name  of  a  country, 
by  the  way,  where  no  doubt  his  ancestors 
liwJ  "sworn  horribly  "J  were  requisitioned 
to  asHist  the  butler  and  footmen  in  the  pantry 
and  in  waiting  at  table.  Now  F— s  was  a 
cToniical  fellow  and  quite  a  "character,"  and 
ftflfordod  my  relative  and  myself  much  amuse- 
tnent  when  the  former  used  to  "draw"  him, 
in  the  -smoking- room  of  an  evening,  to  relate 
•oxneof  his  experiences;  but  the  tale  whicfi 
il«e«l  to  kt-ep  us  in  a  roar  was  that  of  hifi 
experience  as  a  special  constable  during  tlie 
Chartist  riot  at  Newjwrt  in  183f). 

When    the  Cliartists   in    their    thousands 

came  down  from  the  hills  Ui  attack  the  town, 

F— H,  with   many  other  special   constables 

took  refuge  in   the  VVestgat^   Hotel,  which 

wa.8  l>arricaded  an<l  lield  by  a  company  of 

the  4."itfi   Kegiment  (see   Haydn's   '  Diet,  of 

DatOM).  C'oiistables  anr]  soldiers  were  all  con- 

fcregate<]  in  the  front  ground-tloor  room  of 

•'••■  '•'■■'  'lie  latter  tiring  on  the  rioters  (who 

Hisly  attacking  tfie  hotel)  through 

itvl  shutters   wliich  the  Chartists, 

■  en  all  the  windows,  tried  to  batter 

■       ivy  missiles.    A^  the  fighting  grew 

It  and  furious  our  friend  F— h,  expecting 


the  mob  to  break  into  the  hotel  every 
moment,  and  thinking  ''iJiscretion  the  better 
part  of  valour,"  grope<J  his  way  in  tho 
ilarkened  room  to  the  fireplace,  with  the  full 
intention  of  concealing  hintself  within  the 
great  chimney.  Rut  on  the  unhappy  F— 9 
reaching  hia  would  l)e  refuge  and  attempting 
to  ascend,  he  found  his  effoits  were  in  vain  ; 
and  why  ? — becau^)6  the  chimney  was  already 
fille<l  with  special  constables,  and  there  was 
no  room  left  for  poor  F— s  !  Uowever,  the 
troops  eventually  drove  oft'  the  Chartists, 
wiio  iled,  and  F — a  and  liisi  comrades  were 
saved. 

.Many  a  laugh  have  I  enjoywl  in  old  daya 
at  Christmas-time  over  this  anecdote,  and  at 
the  quaint  way  in  which  the  narrator  used 
to  relate  it.  D.  K.  T. 

Oir.uiTERiso  OF  Arms  (10"'  S.  v.  108,  215). 
-witlmut  being  able  to  answer  J.  -M.  E 's 
second  question  as  to  the  riglits  or  wrongs  of 
a  quartering  in  the  case  stated  by  !iim,  I  can 
give  him  an  instance  of  arms  being  quartered 
under  similar  circumstances.  The  late  Sir 
John  E.  Miliais,  H.U.A.,  quartered  the  arm* 
of  Le  Geyt.  His  great-great-gran<lfather 
married  ilachel,  daugnter  of  John  Le  Oevt. 
The  last  male  lie  Geyt  descendant  of  thi^ 
John  Le  Geyt  dietl  in  1B04. 

I  went  fully  into  the  facts  of  this  case  in 
S'*"  S.  X.  4.'>1,  and  there  describe<l  this 
quartering  as  a  mistake:  but  because  the 
compiler  of  thoMillais  podigreehad  approved 
of  this  quartering,  in  complete  ignorance  of 
the  parcnUge  of  tlie  wife  of  Edward 
Millais,    whom    ho    described    as    **Uachel» 

il.  ami  h  of Le  Geyt,"  and  cons»Hiuently 

also  in  ignorance  of  tho  fact  that  in  18(35, 
when  the  pedigree  was  printed,  a  male 
Le  Geyt  deacenuatit  of  Rachel's  father  was 
still  living.  Cuas.  A.  Bernau. 

The  person  asking  the  two  questions  will, 
I  fear,  be  in  an  unhappy  position  in  regard 
to  the  replies  of  Ui*steii  and  U.  M.,  it  not 
being  clear  whether  the  latter  is  intended  us 
a  reply  to  query  No.  1,  to  No.  2,  or  to  both. 
If  intendwl  as  a  reply  to  No.  1.  it  is  clearly 
opf)ose<l  to  the  opinion  expressed  by  nuiTisiu 
Tiie  point  raised  by  No.  2  is  simple  and 
easily  answered  ;  but  that  raised  by  tho  hrst. 
query  is  of  consi<lerable  interest.  1  happened 
to  have  two  of  the  works  referre*!  to  by 
LTujTER  on  my  Ubio,  aM<l  the  third  work 
referred  to  at  n>y  feet,  at  the  time  of  rea<Jinn

in  favour  of  B.  M.'s  view  (if  Lia  answer  refers 
to  query  No.  1).  being,  in  fact,  liia  (Dalla- 
way'a)  example  No.  4.  The  rule  as  cited  by 
Uftllaway  from  the  Glover  MS.  is  :— 

"  If  a  man  whose  anceators  have  married  with 
divera  inheritrixes  do  marry  with  an  inheritrix  by 
whom  he  huth  divers  daughtera,  and  afterwarda 
marry  another  inheritrix  Ity  wliom  lie  hath  imue 
male,  I  he  issue  general  of  the  lirst  wyfe  ahall  benr 
their  father's  armes  with  their  owoe  mother's 
quarterly." 

I  have  always  understood  lliat  the  rules  laid 
down  by  Glover  were  practically  those 
adopted  by  the  CoHoRe  of  Arms  in  this 
country.  On  the  other  hand,  Caasans,  and 
Burke  in  his  'Heraldic  Illuatrations,'  support 
the  view  of  TLSTEn.  Though  I  do  not  con- 
aider  that  Dallaway  or  even  Glover  supportn 
the  view  expressed  by  I'usTEn,  I  may  aay  I 
entirely  a>;reo  witli  hia  opinion,  apart  from 
cited  authority.  W.  A.  CoriNGER.

Aa  doctors  are  allowed  to  differ,  I  hope  I

Grantuam  of  GoLTiio  Family  (10"'  S.  v. 
70.  231). — My  attention  has  been  called  to  the  | 
letter  of  LisriL'M  Colonia  accusing  me  of: 
taking  a  window  out  of  one  church  and 
some  recumbent  effigies  out  of  another,  botli 
relating  to  tlie  Grantham  family,  antl  of 
adopting  arms  that  do  nob  belong  to  me. 

With  the  exception  that  I  have  placed  the 
window  in  Barcombo  Church  and  the  efligiea 
in  a  mission  room  in  the  same  parish,  there 
is  not  a  word  of  trutli  in  his  statements,  the 
fact«  relating  to  which  he  is  apparently  in 
absolute  ignorance  of. 

The  window,  or  rather  some  of  the  glass 
in  it,  waa  found  in  a  hayloft,  where  it  had 
been  put  an<l  lost  after  the  private  chapel 
in  whicli  it  had  been  ceased  to  be  used,  and 
was  (hen  given  to  ine  by  the  owner  ;  but 
that  its  origin  should  not  bo  lost  sight  of, 
I  bad  its  original  home  recorded  on  the 
window  in  its  new  home.  The  recumbent 
effigies  Lisru'M  Colosia  speaks  of.  which 
doubtless,  at  one  time,  were  in  the  church 
he  mentions,  but  which  must  have  been 
taken  out  many  years  ago,  when  the  church 
was  removetl— I  found,  ver^'  much  damaged, 
under  a  heap  of  dung,  and  removed  thcro  at 
the  suguention  of  tlie  tlien  Dean  of  Lincoln 
(Dean  Butler),  as  the  Cathedral  authorities 
would  not  give  them  a  home. 


His  story  about  my  arms  ia  cqun 
titious.    As  to  his  remarks  about  my  i 
if  they  were  true  I  should  be  proud  to  tlutk 
I  had  succeefled  in  riwing  to  lite  p<.Miliunn(

Heroic    Romaih-.ti  of  Ireland.    By  A,  H,   Leahy. 

•J  vols.  (Nutt.) 
A^ioMi  many  attempts  to  populari/.e  for  English 
readers  the  heroic  romances  of  Ireland,  most  of 
I  them  undertaken  with  the  aid  of  Mr.  Nutt,  tho 
present  xcons  the  best  adapted  to  achieve  itA  i>ur- 
tioM.  It  forms  the  second  issue  of  "  The  Irish  Saga 
Library,"  the  lirst  volume  of  which  waa  also  trans- 
lated by  Mr.  Fes  by.  The  romances  dealt  wi lb  in 
the  first  volunie  of  the  present  work  ure  "The 
Courtship  of  Etain,'  *  Mac  Datho's  IJoar,'  'Tins 
■Sick-ljed  of  Cuchulain,'  ' 'I'he  Exile  of  tlie  .Sons  of 
Uenach,'  and  '  The  Combat  at  the  Ford.'  Thctae  in 
tho  second  consist  of '  Tain  Bo  Fraiob,"  '  The  Raid 
for  Dartaid's  Cottle,'  'The  Raid  for  the  Cattle  of 
Refjamon,'  'The  Driving  of  the  Cattle  of  FJidais,* 
and  'The  Atiparitioii  of  the  tireat  Queen  to 
Cuchulain.'  These  are  translated  partly  in  pro<)e 
and  iiartly  in  verse.  Of  the  first  story,  '  Tho 
Courtship  of  Ktain,'  two  versions  are  ijiven.  In 
order  to  understand  and  ajipreciate  the  measure  in 
which  the  translation— especially  the  unrimed  por- 
tion—is excctitoiL  it  la  necessary  to  stu<ly  closely 
the  helpful  and  critdite  prefai.-o  to  the  first  volume 
— a  preface  whidi,  with  line  irony,  declares  that  in 
times  wlieti  the  ^reat  litoraturea  of  (Greece  and 
Rome  are  reganleil  as  useless,  it  may  be  vain  to 
hope  "that  any  attention  can  be  paid  to  a  litera- 
ture that  is  <piite  as  useless  as  the  (ireek  ;  which 
deals  with  a  time  wiiich,  if  not  actually  as  far  re- 
moved from  ours  as  are  c]A«sical  times,  is  yet 
further  removed  in  ideas."  Tiio  task  is,  however, 
taatefally,  and  at  times,  brilliantly,  accomtilislied  : 
tho  book  may  be  read  with  pleasure  an<l  advan- 
tage, and  will  do  inuoli  to  commend  to  ICnglish 
Btudetita  these  primitive,  finely  coloured,  and 
poetic  Jcgnuda,  the  aiiti<|uity  of  whicli,  tiiou^h  less 
firohably  than  is  sometimes  claimed,  is  high.  Tim 
wiiole  is  of  \-alue,  and  reveaJs  to  lis  the  priticijial 
features  and  the  character  of  what,  in  its  way,  is  one 
of  the  most  interesting  literatures  of  the  world.

EsEKriKTlc  indeed  are  the  elTorls  that  aro  lieinK 
made  to  prove  that  Bacon  wrote  the  works  of  8hake- 
sneare  and  Tudor  literature  genorally,  ami  amoni; 
the  participants  in  tho  fray  the  late  Mr.  Begley  was 
tiorhapa  the  most  arduously  persistent.  Iu  the  course 
of  the  attack  uiwn  .ShakeNpeare  some  philosophic 
humorist  sniil  fie  hail  arrived  at  the  conclusion 
that  the  works  assigned  8hakes|>eare  were  not  his, 
bnt  were  those  of  anotlier  man  of  the  same  name, 
living  in  the  same  jverioil.  This  idea  seems  now 
seriously  accepted,  only  the  man  so  self-styled  was 
also  called  Bacon.  Incidentally,  too,  he  seems  to 
have  been  nodonliani  and  Puttenham.and  we  know 
not  how  many  more.  It  would  apparently  be  more 
eauy  to  ascertain,  by  a  process  of  induction,  who 
he  was  not  than  who  lie  is.  Up  to  now  we  liave 
read  no  alfirmation  thai  he  is  Burleigh  oic  VotSuKitfiav

had  tx^n  found  ou  the  north  side  of  the  back 
entrance  to  "The  George"  Inn,  wliich  was 
thoui;ht  to  be  l?oman  work.  It  was  under  a 
amall  folcj-yard,  which  was  not  then  roofed 
over,  though  it  probably  hail  been  covered 
at  norae  iieriod.  The  top  of  the  cave  had 
suddenly  given  way  on  account  of  a  u)anure 
lieap  which  iiad  bwrn  raised  over  its  weakest 
part.  I  descended  into  the  cavern  througli 
thi"*  iiole.  and  examined  it  carefully,  but 
could  finci  no  trace  of  prehistoric  or  Itoman 
work.  There  were  no  tragment^  of  pottery, 
chipped  Hint,  wall-scratches,  or  any  other 
■igna  of  times  long  past.  The  cavern  was  so 
irrt«guUr  in  shape  that  it  is  irapossible  for 
me  to  de'*cribe  it  without  tlie  aid  of  a  plan, 
which  I  regret  to  say  was  never  taken.  I 
carae  to  ihe conclusion  that  the  entrance  had 
Ijeen  frotu  the  «treet  whicli  lies  to  the  east, 
but  it  wa4  impossible  to  demonstrate  this, 
for  that  approach,  if  tltere  was  one,  ran 
un<ier  another  property  ou  which  a  house 
stood. 

Another  part  of  this  place  was  come  upon 
very  recently.  It  is  a  narrow  passage  run- 
ning towards  the  south.  Though  it  was 
carefully  examined,  nothing  wan  found 
to  indicate  its  age.  When  llie  Town  Hall 
wan  built  iiere  in  IS'JT,  a  small  court  was 
enclosed  lo  the  north,  adjoining  on  the  west 
a  cottage  which  was  formerly  a  public-house 
iMaring  the  sign  of  "The  Crown."  Here  a 
small  underground  place  of  similar  character 
was  found,  whicli  8eeine4l  to  have  have  had 
its  entrance  into  the  pmblic-house.  The  roof 
had,  however,  collapseil  at  some  former  time, 
and  the  place  was  fdled  with  surface-soil.  I 
have  Ixien  loUl  of  two  or  three  other  caverns 
of  this  kind  not  far  from  hero,  but,  as  I  have 
not  seen  thern,  I  am  not  able  to  apeak  to 
their  character. 
In  tho  eighteenth  century  smuggling  was 
common  in  Lincolnuhire  that  few  people 
m  to  have  had  any  moral  objection  to 
,  rofitirtg  by  it.  Country  s<|uires  as  well  as 
their  tenants  were  accustomed  to  get  their 
npirits  from  tho  *'  runners, '  and  tlieir  wives 
an<l  (Uughter«  bv  the  name  means  got  lace 
And  olhcr  taxable  finery  from  France.  It 
•MOM  certain  that  justices  of  tho  peace. 
lAwjers,  and  others  whose  duty  it  was  to  aid 
fo  tiie  administration  of  the  law  had  no 
hesitAtion  in  availing  themselves  of  the 
Mrvioes  of  the  men  engaged  in  this  illicit 
tnuie.  New  Holland  —  a  railway  station

I  name  from  the  Dutch  amugglers  wno  used  it 
I      04  a  landing  place  aod  depot  for  their  wares. 


Whether  this  bo  true,or,  likeso  many  guess 
as  to  the  origin  of  place-names,  a  result 
the  inventive  fancy,  it  indicates  how  promi- 
nent a  place  the  smuggler  occupied  in  the 
life  of  our  forefathers. 

The  tales  about  smugglers  that  used  to  b»l 
current  are  now  for  the  mont  part  forgotten. 
Here  is  one   which   is   certainly   true.     My 
grandfather  knew  the  victim. 

At  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century  s 
prosperous  farmer  lived  at  Kirton  -  in  - 
Linasey.  Like  most  of  the  men  of  his  time, 
he  was  fond  of  ardent  xpirits,  and  by  no 
means  given  to  practise  self  denial  in  regard 
to  their  consumption.  He  also  po8se8se<l,  and 
used  freely,  a  curious  a.s80rtment  of  oaths 
whioh  would  have  delighte*!  a  modern  philo- 
logist. He  was,  too,  a  hospitable  man,  with 
a  mind  «'ell  stored  with  racy  anecdotes 
"the  good  old  times."  Ho  always  purchase 
his  spirits  of  a  smuggler  who  made 
rounds  with  the  clockwork  regularity  of  a 
commercial  traveller  of  the  present  day. 
The  "runner"  and  he  were  very  good 
friends  ;  the  man  of  spirits  was  always  8ur» 
of  a  warm  welcome  when  he  visito<i  thfr 
fanner.  At  length,  however,  a  difference  arose' 
between  them.  The  farmer  owed  the 
"runner"  money  for  his  last  purchase.  The- 
smuggler's  trade  was  a  reaay-money  bu? 
ness,  and  the  vendor  had  great  objection 
be  kept  waiting,  for  he  know  that  there  wa 
no  legal  means  of  recovering  debts  such  a» 
his  J  yet  he  harl  a8ke<l  for  payment  again  and' 
again,  but  had  received  no  response  except 
sarcastic  jeats,  intermixed  with  the  fanciful 
oaths  in  which  his  customer  was  so  proficient. 
Even  the  most  arousing  conversation  becomes 
wearisome  when  it  thwarts  other  instincUi, 
so  the  "runner"  at  last  determined  tojpul 
an  end  to  relations  so  unsatisfactory.  One 
day  he  called  on  the  farmer  at  dinner-time^ 
and  spent  a  very  pleasant  afternoon  with  hii 
host.  The  debt  wa.s  alluded  to  in  the  cours 
of  con  venation,  but,  contrary  to  his  ust 
practice,  tho  man  did  not  urgently  press  hit 
claim.  Just  before  going  away,  however,  h 
said,  "I've  gotten  some  kegs  of  real  iiriino 
French  brandy  and  first-rate  Hollands  gin 
hidden  away  among  them  thorn  busks 
liell  Hole."  This  place  is  a  little  valley 
about  a  mile  distant,  and  was  well  knowr 
to  the  neighbours  as  a  smugglers'  haunt. 
should  strange  and  like  to  Imve  some  on  it," 
said  the  farmer  ;  "  1  'm  alwul  clean 'd  out  as 
it  is."  "You  can  hov  a  kog  of  each  sort  if 
you  've  a  mind  to  como  on  wi'  your  cart  as 
soon  as  it's  dark;  but  mind,  it'*  down  on 
the  nail  this  lime.  I  've  larnt  my  lessin  ; 
there's   no  more  trust  fur  nobody."     '^I'^x'a

farmer  said  it  wasj  hard  linesi  but  in  the  end 
prfMiiiijed  to  brinp;  tlie  money. 

The  farmer  appeared  at  tlie  appointed 
time,  and,  threading  lii^  way  throu^ii  the 
scrub,  found  tlie  smuggler  and  his  a-ssistanlx 
beside  the  kegs.  "  I  shan't  pay  till  I  've  hed 
a  taste,"  said  the  farmer-  The  runner 
replie<l,  in  tonea  which  were  aftervx-ards 
thought  unnecessarily  gruff,  "  Nol>o<ly  'a 
a- been  asking  you."  VViien  they  had  bargained 
as  to  the  price,  which,  as  usual  on  such 
occasions,  was  a  lengthy  process,  the  vendor 
took  from  his  pocket  a  gimlet,  and,  making 
A  hole  through  the  bung,  inserted  a  straw 
therein,  saying  at  the  same  time,  "Suck  up." 
The  buyer  did  as  he  wa«  bid,  and  went  an 
sucking  at  the  straw  for  a  long  time.  The 
second  keg  was  treated  in  the  same  manner. 
The  gimlet  holes  in  the  bungs  were  carefully 
plugged,  the  money  imid,  and  the  fanner  set 
off  o»i  his  way  home,  iiighly  pleased  wiih  his 
bargain,  for  the  kegs  were  large,  and  the 
.price  somewhat  less  than  usual. 

The  kegs  were  at  once  taken  into  the 
cellar,  an<l  no  time  lost  in  tapping  the 
brandy  cask.  The  farmer's  rage  may  be 
imagined  when  he  found  that  the  iiaid  which 
•ran  through  the  tap  was  water  only.  The 
same  result  followed  when  the  Hollands  gin 
was  tested. 

The  explanation  of  the  trick  has  pr^ilmbly 
already  occur re<i  to  the  reader.  The  "run- 
ner" felt  sure  he  should  never  recover  the 
money  that  was  owing  to  him  by  fair  means, 
so  he  had  provided  two  casks  filled  with 
water,  and  inserted  bladders  containing  a 
small  quantity  of  spirits  in  each  of  the  casks, 
tlio  bladders  heing  hold  in  position  by  the 
'bungs.  IJy  this  device  he  recovered  the 
money  that  was  due  to  him. 

In  after  days  the  smuggler  frequently 
viaited  Bell  Hole,  but  always  took  caro  to 
avoifl  tlie  society  of  his  former  friend.  The 
farmer,  on  the  other  hand,  when  his  iirst  At 
of  anger  was  over,  as  he  had  really  lost  very 
little  by  the  trick,  began  to  regard  it  as  a 
good  jest,  and  was  fond  of  telling  the  tale  to 
ibis  acquaintance's.  Edward  Pea<'Oi  k.

I  l>elieve  that  there  is  an  omission  in  the- 
list  of  masters  of  this  .school,  namely,  that 
of  the  Rev.  Henry  Cadwallader  AdatQ» 
(preceding  Mr.  Heuaerson  in  1844),  a  very 
voluminous  writer,  afterwards  chaplain  at 
Bromley  College-  My  informant  was  my 
old  Oxford  friend  the  Rev.  Kdward  Hill,  at 
that  time  a  Demy  of  Magdalen,  who  had> 
been  educated  in  the  School  when  a  chorister. 
Perhaps  Mr.  Adams's  tenure  of  office  wa» 
very  brief.  The  Rev.  W.  J.  Sawell  was  then 
the  Usher,  and  one  of  the  chaplains  of  th& 
College.  His  beautiful  tenor  voice  in  chant- 
ing the  service  will  long  be  remembered. 

On  May  Day,  18r)l  (the  opening  day  of  the 
Great  Exhibition),  I  was  present  at  the 
ceremony  of  the  opening  of  the  new  School. 
I  had  attended  at  5  o'clock  in  the  n)orning 
the  singing  of  the  *  Hyninus  Eucharisticus  ' 
on  the  tower,  and  have  a  distinct  remem- 
brance of  the  beautiful  pieces  which  were- 
sung  in  the  School  a.s  a  dedication,  though 
fifty  -  four  years  have  elapsed  since  that 
time. 

A  simple  slab  with  the  initials  O-  O-, 
at  the  entrance  to  the  chapel,  marks  the 
resting  place  of  the  Rev.  George  Granthara, 
for  many  years  Usher.

On  tiiiB  passage  Cunningliam  has  a  note  that 
the  casting  out  of  tlie  apiritJi  from  the.se 
people  brouglit  Darrel  great  credit,  whicli  lie 
afterwards  lost  by  the  discovery  of  his  tricks 
in  anotlier  case.  Dr.  Harsnet  published  a 
pamphlet  or  book  in  1599,  exposing  Dirrel 
and  Ilia  impositions  in  all  these  instances. 

That  "  Dorrell  "  was  often  used  for  "  Dar- 
rell  "  in  the  time  of  our  author  can  be  seen 
in  "Wild  Darrell's"  correspondence,  edited 
by  Mr.  Hulwrt  Hall,  and  nublishe«J  by  him

The  Manorial  System  :  its  Survival.— 
The  following  extract  from  a  letter  recently 
received  from  the  Vicar  of  Laxton,  Notts, 
will,  I  think,  be  of  interest  to  many  readers 
of  'N.  J:Q.':-

Chichele's  Kin.— It  is  well  known  that 
All  Souls'  College,  Oxford,  was  founde/J  by 
the  archbishop  for  the  purpose  of  educating 
his  kindred.  With  this  intent  the  College, 
from  its  foundation  or  soon  afterwards,  kept 
a  recor<l  of  the  issue  of  Chicliole's  brother 
Kobert,  and  this  issue  rapidly  increased, 
<jpreading  into  at  least  half  the  counties  of 
Lngland.  The  charts  of  the  various  female 
descents  fill  two  large  printed  volumes^  and 
the  copy  of  the  Stemmata  Cliicheleana  at 
All  Souls'  isemblazonwl  and  annotated,  and 
contains  many  lines  down  to  the  present 
lime.  Unfortunately,  a  very  large  profK)rtion 
of  these  pwiiurees  can  be  cut  away  from 
kinship  with  tlie  founder  by  one  correction 
iu  the  early  part  of  tlie  kin-chart.  Such  a 
correction  will  meet  with  objection  from  the 
many  who  believe  in  their  consanguinity  ; 
but  that  should  be  no  reason  for  the  suppres- 
sion of  the  facts. 

By  a  nustake,  apparently  made  by  the 
Heralds  in  Eliialjethan  times,  a  Kempe  of 
*'icieut  Suffolk  lineage,  who  married  a  Keutinb 


dame,  was  placed  on  the  Kentish  Kerapes' 
family  tree,  and  the  issue  of  this  "  Edmund 
Kempe,  citizen  and  mercer  of  London, "  is 
consequently  credited  with  Chichele  blood 
wliicii  was  iu  no  way  his.  This  is  evidenced 
by  his  will,  proved  in  the  P.C.C.  (S  Spert),  in 
which  he  alludes  to  his  relatives  Nicholas 
Ilokewood,  Cicily  Melton,  Sir  Ilichard 
Qrosham,  Sir  John  (Jresham,  and  Lady 
Yarford,  all  of  whom  are  well  known,  and 
absolutely  proved  relatives  of  the  Kempcs  uf 
Gissing  (Norfolk)  and  Weston  (Sunolk), 
ance!«tors  of  the  Kem[)e  baronets,  and  quit« 
a  different  stock  from  the  Kentish  Kempea 
(knights),  one  of  the  last  of  wlioni  married 
Eraelyn  Chichele,  grand-niece  of  A'  '  '  '  n 
Chichele,  thus  bringing  to  the    1  f 

Kent  and  their  issue  the  rights  to  IVko..  -.Miii-t 
at  All  Souls'.  Further,  the  Heralds'  Suffolk 
Visitation  and  Visitation  of  London,  Harleiaii 
^IS.  1154,  clearly  states  that  this  Kdnmnd 
Kempe  (the  wealthiest  Kempe  in  Ixtnduu  at 
the  period,  and  "a  member  of  the  Mercers' 
Company")  was  son  anfl  "heire  elect"  to 
Kobert  Kempe,  of  Uissing  ;  and  hence  all 
issue  of  his  are  cut  off  from  the  founder's  kio 
of  All  Souls*.  Freu.  U  itch  in- Kemp. 

Facetious  Leual  Jid<:ment.  —  .Madame 
du  Noyer,  in  her  '  C/orresiKnidence '  (]e(t«r 
XXX vii.  vol.  ii.  p.  2'i7  of  the  translatiou  by 
Fl.  Layard,  1890),  relates  how  she  wa* 
"told  the  other  day"  of  a  judgment  given 
by  "the  Parliament  of  Toulouse."'  A  man 
happened  to  kill  another  man  by  falling  on 
him  accidentally.  Tfie  relations  brought  au 
action  against  him.  The  Court  ord«:^red  that 
the  man  who  claimed  an  indemnity  for  the 
death  of  his  relative  was  to  go  up  to  the  top 
of  the  tower  and  allow  himself  to  fall  on  the 
man  who  had  caused  the  death.  It  would 
be  curious  to  have  authoritative  infurruatiua 
as  to  whether  such  a  verdict  was  ever  really 
given  at  Toulouse.  The  judgment  is,  oi 
course,  often  attributed  to  Eastern  judges; 
but  it  seems  most  improbable  that  sucli  a 
verdict  could  be  seriously  given  by  a  Fr«ncli 
court  at  the  (period  in  question.

tiie  8econ<l  edition  of  which  appeared  iu 
London  in  184y.  The  criticisms  of  the 
bialiops  which  the  book  contains  were  oidy 
too  true,  and  I  have  lieard  that  the  author 
was  a  curate,  who  remained  in  that  position

The  Amkrkan  Gotham.— It  is  commonly 
asserted  that  Washington  L'ving  and  his 
collaborator,  in  their  work  'Salmagundi,' 
1800,  were  the  first  to  apply  the  now  familiar 
t«irm"  Gotham "  to  New  York,  "in  satirical 
allusion  to  the  Kingular  wisdom  of  its 
inhabitants."  'Salmagundi'  first  appeared 
serially,  but  was  issued  in  book  form  in  181 1. 
Chap.  cix.  relates  "the  chronicles  of  the 
renowned  and  antient  city  of  Gotham."  I 
rocurdiKi  this  matter  in  ray  book  '  All  about

This  is  true  of  the  figurea  of  the  two

that  Hare,  in  his  'Walks  in  Rome,'  i.  219, 
states  that  this  representation  of  the  Cruci- 
fixion "has  the  figures  on  the  crosse.^  fully 
draped."  The  miniature  at  Florence  referred 
to  above  is  by  Uabbula  (a.d.  bSC),  a  monk  of 
the  convent  of  Zagha,  in  Mesopotamia.  The 
crucifix  at  Narbonne  is  one  mfmtioncd  by 
Gregory  of  Tours  :  and  the  crucifix  at  Monza 
is  "a  phylactery"  sent  by  St.  Gregory  the

In  Crowe  ntitl  Cava!  easel  I  e'n  '  History  of 
Painting  in  Italy,'  new  edition,  1903,  vol.  i. 
pp.  49-5],  occur  the  following  p&ssagas  : — 

"  It  i«  kiiowo  to  antiijuariaMB  that  the  i^tea  of  the 
church  of  Santa  Subina  at  Home  contain  very  old 
illuatralionH  of  Eu8|i«laubject8ia carved  wood,  and  it 
isolated  that  they  wereiet  in  their  present  jilacea  by 
order  of  Innocent  III.,  about  ad.  1198.  But  it  is 
eaay  to  perceive  that  liie  |>aiieU  of  which  the  galea 
are  comti4«ed  are  no  lon^jer  in  their  natural  order, 
and  that  the  wood  in  which  they  are  carved  ia 
older  than  that  of  the  framings  wliich  keep  them 
together.  Some  nuhjecU,  not  unlike  th<j*e  of  the 
tiflh  century  at  Santa  Maria  Ma^jdorc,  alternate 

with  those  of  more  modern  character But  the 

tendency  to  ascribe  these  curioun  and  interesting 
carvings  to  a  very  early  period  i.s  checked  by  the 
conviction  thatone  of  the|ianels,re|>reflentlneChriBt 
crucified  between  the  two  thieves,  can  only  liave 
l>een  cnm[Kv*ed  about  the  clo«e  of  the  tenth  or 
bcRinuing  of  the  eleventh  centuries,  when  the 
same  subject  appears  In  have  lieen  treated,  in  the 
wall  paintinKs  of  8ant'  Urbano  alia  Cafl'arella  by  a 
painter  of  the  year  1011.  fA  footnote  adds  that 
it  appears  that  the  panel.i  were  originally  twenty- 
eight,  of  which  only  eighteen  remain.]  For  some 
time  after  painting  came  to  be  thought  an  incentive 
"o  piety  amonK«t  Christians,  a  jealous  supervision 
ixercised  by  the  clerKV  prevented  the  treatment  of 
subjects  illuatraling  the  rassion.  As  time  sjved  on 
the  feeiinKof  the  masses  in  this  respect  unficrwent  a 
change.  Scenes  from  the  Passion  soon  followed 
ejiisodea  from  the  earlier  history  of  t'hrist.  But 
till  very  near  the  eleventh  century  the  ignominy 
of  death  on  the  crosa  prevented  Christians  from 
accepting  delineations  of  the  Crucifixion,  which, 
in  tlie  first  ]ieriod  of  Christianity,  had  been 
mtdliplied  to  some  small  extent  by  |>agan  scoffers. 
When  Christian  feeling  had  overcome  its  long 
avetnion  to  the  most  fearful  of  all  the  incidents 
attendant  on  the  Redeemer's  suffering,  an  excess 
of  ingenuity  was  shown  in  the  effort  to  make 
manifest  the  absolute  iusensibitity  of  Christ  to 
torments.  In  the  gates  of  Santa  Sabina  this  in- 
Kentnly  is  <lig|ihiyed  in  the  representation  of 
Christ  crucified,  but  living,  .serene,  and  ojMsn-eyed. 
The  cross  is  barely  indicated  near  tlie  ends  of^the 
fingers,  though  the  nails  are  seen  where  they 
penetrate  the  hands.  The  statnre  nf  the  Saviour 
greatly  exceeds  that  of  the  two  malefactors  at  His 
side.  He  ia  without,  a  nimbus,  and  nf  antique 
build  and  proportions;  antii|ue,  likewise,  are  the 
three  gable*  of  the  architecture  behiml  Him." 

A.  11.  Baylev. 

The  Rev.  0.  8.  Tyack.  in  'The  Cross  in 
liituai,  Archileclure,  and  Art'  (1896),  says  :— 

"The  fJrcek  Fathers  at  the  Council  of  Trullo.  in 
A  P.  tj^r2,  decreed  that,  instead  of  the  Landi  [aa 
herotof.iro],  the  Ix>rd  Jesus  Christ  shall  be  shown 
[Bereafter  in  His  human  form  "  ; 
ind  ho  add-i  :— 
"the  earliest  crucirix  in  the  Catacoml«  daleit  from 
the  seventh  and  eighth  cejilurie*.  l»<>j>o  John  Vll., 


in  A.i>.  706,  dedicated  the  first  nioMic  exainpto  of  , 
this  subject   ia  St.    Pelerx   at   Rome.     BeoKtiicI

bert  of  Kent  (a  n.  397),  waa  preceded  by  •  silvt 
cross,  and  a  Crucifixion  painted  upon  a  panel." 

The  Ilev.  11.  St.  John  Tyrwhitt,  in  'Art 
Teaching  of  the  Primitive  Church,'  gives 
illustration  of  a  clothed  Chri-st  crucified 
tweeri  two  seminnde  thieves,  taken  from 
existing  Laurcntian  MS.  and  dating  froi 
A.D  58C  ;  but  he  asserts:  "It  is  inipoW 
to  determine  which  is  the  earliest  reproicnta- 
tion  of  the  Crucifixion  or  crucifix  now  in 
existence."  He  records  that  the  first  and 
second  known  examples  were  said  l>y  AngeJo 
Rocca  to  be  the  workmanship  re»peciiv«* 
of  Nicoderaus  and  St.  Luke.  But  the  Bgu 
on  the  one  attributed  U>  the  latter  i«  pi 
tically  naked  (the  waistclolli  l>cing  of  cou' 
tracted  proportions) ;  hence  it  suggevU  a 
much  later  treatment  than  does  tlie  former. 

The  'Santo  Volto,'  or  '  Vullus  de  Luca,'  in 
fashioned    in    cedar,  and    is    attributed    to 
Xicodcmus.     Tradition   says  that,  Iteing 
duced  to  poverty,  he  when  residing  at  llan

I  find  that  Mrs.  Jameson,  at  p.  Vti  of 
vol.  ii.  of  tier  'History  of  our  Lord,'  meii- 
cioM  A  picture  of   the  Crocifixiou  in  the 


Catacombs,  representing  our  Saviour  on  the 
cross,  with  the  Virgin  and  St.  John  standing 
alone  on  each  side  ;  and  there  is  an  illustra- 
tion of  it  on  the  next  page.  Mrs.  Jameson 
remarks:  "The  date  is  uncertain;  later 
critics  assign  it  to  the  eleventh  century." 

Dean  Farrar,  in  his  'Life  of  Christ  in 
Art,'  p.  400,  writes  :— 

"  In  the  sixth  century  we  have  the  cross,  but  not 
the  cruciticd.  In  the  tenth  century  there  are  some 
cruciHxes.  but  the  crucilied  is  represented  in  long 

robes In  the  four  following  ceuturiesthe  robe  ia 

gradually  Btripped  off  and  the  physical  agony 
unscripturaliy  eniphnaized.  The  earliest  known 
iwnfiiii/  of  the  Crucifixion  is  that  by  Rabbula 
(A.D.  o8C)." 

The  subjects  represented  in  the  Catacombs 
in  the  first  six  centuries  were  the  Adoration 
of  the  Magi,  the  Good  Shepherd,  the  entry 
into  Jerusalem,  and  the  washing  of  the 
disciples'  feet.  The  early  Christians  shrank 
from  any  representation  of  the  Saviour 
Buflering  on  the  accursetl  tree  ("Curswl  is 
every  one  that  hangeth  on  a  tree "),  lest  it 
should  impede  the  work  of  inducing  a  pa^an 
and  heretic  world  to  embrace  Christianity, 
and  turn  it  into  ridicule,  of  which  prol>a- 
bility  there  is  evidence  in  the  calumnious 
gralKto,  believed  to  be  as  old  as  the  second 
century,  discovered  in  a  chamber  of  the 
Palace  of  the  Ciesars  in  18&7  (now  in  the 
Kircherian  Museum,  Home).  A  photographic 
repro<luction    of    this    graliito   is   given    at

A  graftito  discovered  in  18.'')6  in  excavations 
on  the  western  angle  of  the  Palatine,  near  to 
the  church  of  St.  Anastasia,  and  attributed 
to  about  AD.  320.  is  a  still  earlier  example 
than  one  named  "the  first  representation" 
by  HirpoixiDE-s.  It  depicts  a  caricature  of 
the  Crucifixion  in  a  realisation  of  the  old 
pagan  calumny  that  Jews  and  Christians 
worshippeKl  an  ass's  head  :  "Somniastis 
caput  asiriinuin  esse  Deum  nostrum''  (Ter-

of  the  f'Di  form,  a  simnle  letter  T,  and  the 
fiKure  of  our  Lonl,  clothed,  is  surmounted 
by  the  head  of  an  ass,  which  looks  down

The  Habe  asd  Easter  (10"'  S.  iv.  306).— 
The  circumstance  of  Easter  Day  being 
alwava  tlie  first  Sunday  after  the  full  moun 
whicn  happens  on  or  next  after  tho  21  st  nf 
March,  and  of  the  hare  being  associated  with 
both  Kaster  and  the  moon,  renders  it  pro- 
bable that  the  hare,  so  far  as  Xorlhern 
tu^'thology  is  concurne<),  became  identified 
with  the  Easter  moon  through  the  Druidical 
worship  of  Eostre,  whose  name,  in  the  form 
of  Ashtar,  was  discovered  by  Layard  on  the 
Aas^ri&n  monuments,  and  wa.s  tho  Anglian 
equivalent  also  of  Astarte,  the  Babylonian 
queen  of  heaven.  Of  this  worship  of  the 
goddess  of  spring  not  only  is  the  Coleshill 
custom  of  catc!iin»f  the  hare,  a  relic  probably, 
but  also  that  of  Hallaton,  in  Leicestershire, 
where,  an  will  be  seen  in  Hazlitt's  'Tenures 
and  Land  Customs'  (1874,  pp.  78  and  141), 
the  rector  or  vicar  is  called  upon  every 
Easter  Montlay,  as  a  condition  upon  whicn 
lie  holds  certain  lands,  to  i>rovide,  among 
other  comestibles  to  be  scrambled  for  at  a 
place  called  Hare-pie  Bank,  two  hare  pies, 
followed  by  sports  of  a  festival  character. 
An  old  village  custom  in  Germany  waa 
eating  "  Easter  hare" ;  and  hares  were  caught 
I  at  Eaator  for  providing  a  public  meal,  a 
I  caatom  best  known  in  Pomerania.

Royal  Arms  is  Culrches  (10*''  S.  v.  188, 
230).— It  may  be  of  interest  to  state  that 
St.  Margaret's  Church  wasj  one  where  arms 
had  been  placed  before  the  Uestoration, 
«lbeit  they  may  not  be  calletl  royal  in  the 
•ordinary  acceptation  of  the  term.  Walcott, 
in  bin  '  Memorials  of  Westuiiiister,'  p.  99, 
says  that  "  the  State's  arms,  which  had  been 
painted  up  in  various  parts  of  the  church 
and  vestry,  were  removetl."  In  the  same 
writer's  *  Uistory  of  the  Parish  Church  of 
St.  Margaret  in  Westminster '  p.  76,  is  a 
copy  of  the  vestry  minutes  relating  to  this 
transaction  :  — 

"  Ifi«JO.  Oct.  X  It  is  ordered  thut  Mr.  K.  Waters 
And  Mr.  P.  Lilly.  Ihe  present  Church  Wardens, 
are  in  an  esfiecial  manner  deairtxl,  a8  soon  as  ever 
money  coniea  to  their  hands,  tliat  tiiey  virepare  the 
King's  Maje«ty'8  Arms  to  be  riolily  carved,  made, 
and  Kild&fi  after  the  liest  manner  that  can  be 
invented,  with  as  luuoh  grace  aq  may  be,  to  be  set 
'tip  in  the  Pariah  Church  of  St.  Margaret,  and  to  be 
as  fair  and  beautiful  in  every  respect  as  the  King's 
ArniB  are  ^et  up  jn  and  al>nut  the  ( 'ity  of  London  ; 
and  the  said  Church  Wardens  arc  desired  to  use 
their  best  endeavours  s{>ecdily  to  put  the  work  in 
hand  so  soon  as  money  can  be  raised  for  that 
{inrpose." 

The  (late  of  the  publication  of  this  volume 
was  1847,  a  foot-note  stating  that  "  they  are 
•placed  at  present  in  the  vestry  room."  That 
they  were  there  when  Walcott  wrote  there 
can  be  no  doubt,  but  between  that  time  an<l 
17  June,  18C4,  when  Dr.  Cureton,  the  rector, 
•died,  they  hat!  been  removed,  and  deposited 
in  a  room  in  the  church  tower,  where  at 
various  times  many  other  things  had  been 
found. 

Ttie  llev.  William  Conway  succeede<l  to 
the  rectory,  ajid  soon  after  entering  upon 
that  position  made  a  pilerimage  to  tlie 
tower  lumber-room,  and  these  arms  were 
•brought  forth  and  once  more  placed  in  the 
vestry,  uiK»n  the  east  wall.  Canon  Conway 
■died  on  22  March,  1870,  and  Dr.  Farrar  was 
appointed  rector.  He  undertook  the  most 
famous  of  the  many  alterations  and  restora- 
tions to  which  this  church  has  been  sub- 
fuitted,  the  entire  interior  being  remodelled 
«ud  the  galleries  removed.  A  suggestion 
was  made  that  these  arms  should  be  placed 
4ipon  the  front  panel  of  the  fine  old  oaken 
fJuIpit  that  then  graced  the  church,  and  was 
used  until  tlie  present  stone  one  wa**  given

of  that  name,  wliich  afterwards  became  "  The

Charino  and  CuAmxti  Cross  (10"'  S.  v. 
146,  197,  238).  —  It  is  quite  true,  as  Peof. 
Skeat  points  out,  that  no  authority  can  be 
found  for  the  existence  of  an  A.-S.  ctirinij, 
or  any  later  form  of  it ;  but  this  does  not 
prove  very  much.  We  know  Anglo-Saxon 
through  its  literature,  and  not  through  the 
speech  of  the  common  people,  as  we  know 
French  or  German.  Many  words  were  pro- 
bably used  colloquially,  which  have  not 
Iwen* handed  down  in  manuscript.  Cerrin;/ 
or  chtvriiuj  is  as  regular  in  formation  as 
rkidiiKj  and  numerous  other  verbal  substan- 
tives which  we  have  inherited  from  our 
Saxon  ancestor*".  And,  if  I  may  say  so,  the 
existence  of  a  family  of  Cerringas  is  also  a 
mere  hypothesis.  Notliingis  known  of  them 
in  liistory.  Kemhie  himself  gave  a  warning 
against  driving  the  inij  patronymic  theory 
too  hard  ('The  Saxons  in  England.'  ed.  1876, 
i.  GO,  note).  And  yet,  forgetful  of  this 
warning,  hederive^l  the  numerous  Chipnings 
in  England  from  a  hypothetical  family  of 
Cypingas. 

Prof.  Skeat's  remarks  about  the  Xornsaoa, 
on  whose  broad  shoulders  the  burden  of  so 
many  real  or  hypothetical  errors  has  been 
Jaid,  are  not,  I  submit,  entirely  justifiofi.  Aa

Crooke  during  his  pre|taratioa  of  a  new  edition  of 
the  '  Anjclo  Indian  (Jlowary'  of  Sir  H  Yule  and 
Mr.  Burnell,  to  which  work  I  he  jireseot  may 
avowedly  be  regarded  as  a  8u|i|.ilon)ent.  Under 
well-nii;li  two  hundred  headfl  is  ((iven  an  inimensfr 
amuunt  of  information  upon  things  Indian,  ]iartly 
the  result  of  the  anthor's  own  observation*.  )>artly 
choaeu  from  writers  of  authority  and  ro)>ute. 
Subjects  such  as  Archiloclnre.  Arms,  Art,  Iiuddhiam» 
Caste,  Marriago,  and  the  like  are  dealt  with  at 
lunyth  jtroportionate  to  Lheir  importance.  Under 
heads  such  ns  Amulet,  Astrolofjy.  Birlh-Marksr 
Uacoiljr>  Folktales,  Iiifuittiride,  Omens,  Oniani. 
Poisoning,  I'olyaudry,  and  Tree-worship  is  tounci 
matter  of  more  special  interest  to  our  readers. 
It  is  very  strikitix  to  contemplate  the  cfl'ect 
of  Euroiiean  interference  with  native  cus- 
ton).  Tim  English  repression  of  thuuitee  is  thus, 
met  by  a  curious  development  of  Koad-|><ji8ouing. 
Attempts  to  put  down  infanticide  have  been  met 
by  the  neglect  of  female  off^prini; ;  while  the 
practice  of  suttee  asserts  itself  in  spite  of  edict  and 
examj)le.  Many  of  the  illustrations  supplied  are 
familiar  to  the  students  of  Tylor  ana  Frazer. 
Under  Witchcraft  we  are  told  tiierc  is  scarcely  a 
vilUge  of  rural  Hengal  which  does  not  possess  its 
witch.  Diabolic  in);onuity  is  shown  in  the  punish- 
ment awarded  these  wretched  creatures.  Mucb 
curiotis  information  is  supplied  concernine  tho 
worship  of  snakes.  It  is  interesting  to  find  that 
the  siiakp-worshipper  does  not  olways  object  to 
euiuic  the  ohject  of  his  veneration.  In  lihotan, 
when  the  hole  of  a  python  is  found,  the  nativea 
light  a  tire  at  the  mouth,  smoke  out  the  ophidian^ 
and  then  eat  it.  It  is  less  generally  known  in  thia 
country  that  the  tiger  is  aIso  an  obiect  of  venera- 
tion. The  whole  msy  be  read  with  interest  and 
advantage.  One  singular  feature  in  the  volume  Is 
that  a  large  number  of  words  have  sri  sKtcrisIc 
against  them,  no  explanation  of  which  is  sfTorded. 
These  are  chiefly  native  namtw,  ouch  as  the  Dow  or 
Diiii  of  As.sam.  Under  Halxio  are  K'ven  8om» 
curious  speoimeiis  of  native  employmetit  of  Knglisb 
forms  of  speech  or  salutation.  An  Knglish  gentle* 
man  was  thus  addressed  as  "  Honoured  Knormily."

the  latest  literary  enterprise  of  Mr.  Farmer,  and 
one  in  praise  of  the  conception  and  execution  of

issue,  which  gave  in  one  of  its  interesting  volumes 
tho  numerous  interludes  of  John  Heywood,  th» 
present  instalment  consists  almost  entirely  of  works 
of  anonymous  authorship.  It  is  true  that  the  name 
of  Richard  Wever  is  assigned  to  '  Lusty  Juventus.' 
and  that  of  Thomas^  Ingelend  to  'The  Disobedient 
Child'  and  'The  Nice  Wanton.'  Concerning  tho

will  be  BO  regarded  by  all  competent  persons  whose 
4iiinds  are  nut  warped  by  political  or  relijrious 
prejudices. 

The  leading  paper,  however— first  in  place  and 
first  in  interest— is  the  opening  part  of  Mr  Andrew 
Land's  account  of  the  portrait  and  jewels  of  IJueen 
Mary  Stuart.  It  ahows  a  wonderful  knowledge  of 
the  real  and  reputed  portraits  of  the  victim  of 
Folheriniihay.  That  many  spurious  pictures  have 
been,  and  still  are,  passed  oil  as  likenesses  of  the 
.queen  is  certain  ;  and  there  are  othera  which  are 
but  conies  of  copies  that  have  lost  much  of  their 
oriitinat  truthfulness,  the  features  having  become 
no  moilified  as  to  represent  tlie  ideals  of  beauty, 
not  of  the  Tudor  time,  but  of  the  sevcitteenth  and 
•«iglileenth  centuriiis.  Tiiat  Mary  was  beautiful  in 
her  younger  days  may  be  regarded  aa  certain.  As 
Mr.  Lang  points  out,  we  have  this  on  the 
teatihuiuy  of  enemies  as  well  as  friends;  but  we 
"nave  ourselvM  eeeu  pictnrea  paasitig  under  her

a  sum  of  ten  shillings  l)eing  reserved  for  four 
trentals  of  masses  {iOid ,  i.  42.j).      The  pro- 

Serty  afterwards  came  into  the  possession  off 
ohn  Lovekyn. 

In  later  tiruos  interest  attachetl  to  Love 
Lane  from  the  fact  that  after  the  Great  Fire 
of  1G6G  the  King's  Weighhouse  was  trans- 
ferre<l  from  Cornhill  to  a  vacant  piece  of 
ground  lying  at  tho  north-west  corner  of  th& 
lane  as  it  entered  from  Little  East  Cheap. 
Hero  merchandise  entering  the  country  was. 
weighed  for  -customs  purmses.  In  the  time 
of  Charles  I.  a  small  bociy  of  Independents 
established  a  chapel  in  an  upper  room  bc~ 
longing  to  the  Weighhouse.  Subsequently  a 
meetinghouse  was  built  which  was  served 
by  many  well  known  ministers  ;  but  the  con- 

fregation  afterwards  removed  to  Fish  Street 
lill,  and  the  building  was  swept  away  by 
tlie extension  of  the  Afetropolitan  Railway. 

At  the  present  time  some  anxiety  has  been 
aroused  by  the  threatened  destruction  of  a 
Hne  old  house  which  is  thought  to  have  been 
built,  and  possibly  occupied,  by  Sir  Christo- 
pher Wren,  Tlve  front  of  this  house  faces  a 
courtyard  loading  out  of  Botolph  Lane,  but 
the  back,  which  also  possesses  a  fine  oak 
doorway,  gives  upon  the  eastern  side  of  Lovo 
Lane.  The  exterior  of  the  house,  which  was 
probably  erected  for  one  of  the  gr.ind  old 
merchant-  princes  who  flourished  after  tho 
Restoration,  is  rather  battered  ;  but  the  in- 
terior posseMes  a  beautiful  staircase,  witU 
tho  date  1670  on  the  plaster,  and  some- 
finely  carved  chimney-pieces,  panellings,  and 
ceilings.  The  old  house  ia  the  property  of 
the  Sir  John  Cass  Foundation,  and  has  for 
many  years  been  used  as  tho  Billingsgate 
and  Tower  Ward  Schools,  which  have  now 
been  amalgamated  with  another  educational 
e.sLablishmeiit.  K^'orts  have  been  mode — 
esijecially  by  Mrs.  Arthur  Strong,  the  widow 
of  the  late  distinguished  Librarian  of  the 
House  of  Lords— to  induce  tho  City  Corpora- 
tion to  secure  the  old  iiouse  for  the  purf)oses 
of  a  museum  or  some  similar  object ;  but  ab 
a  Court  of  Common  Council  held  on  G  April 
at  the  Quildhall,  a  report  of  tho  City  Library 
Committee  was  received,  to  the  elFect  that 
there  was  a  doubt  whether  the  house  ever 
had  been  in  the  possession  of  Sir  Christoplier 
Wren,  and  further  that  most  of  the  objects 
of  interest  in  tho  interior  had  been  removed  ; 
and  it  was  thereupon  decided  that  the  Court 
should  take  no  steps  for  the  acquisition  or 
preservation  of  the  premi-tes.  It  may  there- 
lore  be  expectoil  that  tlio  house  will  be 
spicdily  deinolishod,  and  that  one  <X  ^K^\ti^

of  George  Saunders,  from  whon)  she  pro- 
bably received  her  first  impulse  towards  art 
Aud  her  first  lessons  in  painting.  George 
4Saunders,  born  1774,  educated  in  Kdinburgh,  [ 
.and  apprenticed  as  a  coaclibuilder,  from  ' 
painting  heraldic  achievpmenls  procee<ied  to 
paint  miniatures.  Uis  beNtknown  work  is 
■a  portrait  of  Lord  Byroir,  but  in  1830  he 
patnteil  Prince  Esterlia/.y,  and  in  the  fol- 
•lowing  year  the  Duke  of  Cumberland  and 
frince  George.  He  died  at  Marylebone 
in  1846  (cf.  Williamson,  'History  of  Por- 
•trait  Miniatures,'  vol,  i.  p.  ISM).  His 
jiiece  studied  under  Sir  Thomas  Lawrence, 
And  after  her  marriage  with  lior  country- 
•man  Mr.  James  llobertson  she  resided  in 
liarloy  Street,  London,  where  she  had  a 
4;ood  practice.  Mr.  James  Ilobertson's  two 
younger  brothers  settled  at  Alnwick,  and  in 
thi.s_  way  Mrs.  llobertaon  obtained  a  con- 
nexion in  that  neigh bourhoo<l. 

Mrs.  liobertson  had  already  attaine<]  ro-

commissioned  to  paint  a  half-length  portrait, 
•cabinet  size,  of  Hugh,  third  Duke  ot  North-

at  the  coronation  of  tlje  King  of  France. 
Two  years  later  she  painttrl  Charlotte

Lynn  in  the  'Dictionary  of  National

indeed,  there  is  an  air  of  concealment  and

amongst  the  |K>ssessions  of  that  body  is  a

sending  me  a  photograph  of  the  handbilK 
expresses  his  belief  tiiat  it  refers  to  Walter

ZIeadless  Dolls. — I  have  read  somewliere

iu  the  Comoro  Islands  use  head!e.s.s  dolls,  the 
reproduction  of  human  features  being  for-

doll,  and  shall  be  grateful  if  any  one  can 
kindly  confirm  —  or  otherwise  —  tho  above. 
The  ])aragraph  I  saw  made  the  statement

Ijeen  unable  to  find  any  reference  to  the

merely  inventetl  this  story  for  getting  admis-

from  a  surname,  sometimes  ends  with  one  /.

H.vcKNEY,  Miom.EsE.v.  —  It  has  beeu 
suggested  that  the  origin  of  this  place-nams 
is  "Hacon's  ey."  (See  Walford's  'Old  and 
Now  London,'  v.  510.)  The  marshy  situation 
of  the  place  might  be  sulFicient  to  support 
the  suggested  Hullix,  but  there  does  not 
appear  to  be  any  evidence  that  a  Daniiih 
chief  of  the  name  of  Hacon  ever  had  any- 
thing to  do  with  the  place.  In  1230-1  it  was 
spelt  Ilaken*  ('Cal.  Clos.  Ilol,"  pp.  570,  681). 
and  in  1253  Hakencye  (LysonH,  "Environs,' 
ii.  450),  VValford  mentions  a  spelling  Haciiuo- 
neye,  temp.  Hen.  III.  Dr.  Uobinson  ('  llisU 
and  Ant.  of  Hackney '),  quoted  by  Walford, 
says :  "  No  one  will  venture  to  assert  that  it 
received  its  name  from  the  Teutonic  or 
WeUh  language,  as  some  have  supposed." 
What  is  probably  the  origin  ?

"WAR":   ITS   OLD    PRONUNCIATION. 

(10"'  S.  V.  22H.) 

TiiK  form  of  th©  woixl  is  rooibrn,  and  tlio 
pronunciation  illmlralea  a  pvctcena  of 
(lovelupinent  which  reached  coinplcLiun  in 
tlie  course  of  the  fighteeuth  century. 
Cog'iate  with  Old  French  n'trre  (Fr, 'jueric), 
our  term  "  war"  ropreseiilj*  O.H.  Ger.  leerra, 
vexation,  broil.  "  Were,"  eignifying  doubt 
or  fear,  u$c<l  by  Cliaucer  and  Lan^latid,  is 
probably  the  .same  word  ;  when  Chaucer  has 
the  form  "war"  he  meanii  "ware"  or 
"  aware  of,"  while  hiit  word  for  active 
hostilitieij  i^  "worre."  In  \i\n  long  lixt  of 
the  featare<i  that  dintinKuisli  the  dwelling 
described  in  *Tiie  House  of  Fame'  he 
mentions  "werres"  in  tlie  same  line  with 
"pes"  and  "raariaRea";  and  in  'The  Roke 
of  the  Duchesse '  lie  make«  the  forlorn 
knight,  in  detailing  his  woes,  distinguish 
between  the  noun  "werre"  and  the  adjec- 
tive of  the  same  form  which  signifies 
"  worse."  Part  of  the  paradoxical  lamen- 
tation is  in  these  terms : — 

My  love  ya  hate,  my  alepe  wak)mge. 

My  nicrllie  and  nicies  ys  fMtynge; 

My  countcnauricc  ys  riycete,

Halliwell,  in  the  'Archaic  Dictionary,' 
Quotes  from  'Religiou.4  Poems'  of  the 
[  nfteenth  century  the  reflection  that  peace  is 
impossible  in  any  country  "tliereas  worre  ia 
nyih-lionde."  Gavin  Douglas,  whose  trans- 
lation of  Virgil  was  completed  in  1513,  uses 
the  form!*  "  were"  and  "  weyr''  for  warfare, 
wliiloliohas  "war"  to  denote  "worse."  In 
a  famous  passage  of  '.Kneid'  viii.  he  makes 
Evander  explain  to  .Eneas  that  there  was  a 
time  in  the  remote  history  of  his  domain 
when  unscrupulous  selfishness  became  the 
leading  principle  of  conduct,  conditions 
gradually  becoming  "  war  and  war  "  till 

iu  the  sleid  of  peax,  llie  rage  of  weyr 
Begoulb  Bucceid,  and  eovatya  of  gcyr. 

This  form  of  the  word,  modified  by  Sir 
David  Lyndsay  and  otliei's  to  "weir,"  lingers 
to  a  later  date  in  Scotland  than  it  does  in 
England,  although  the  original  sound  con- 
tinues to  be  represented  in  Southern  writers 
long  after  the  spelling  lias  been  changed. 
ll<ibert  Serapill  (1599-1670).  in  his  famous

It  h  impossible  to  discuss  this  question 
rithin  reasonable  space.  Of  course,  Pope's 
>ronanctation  differed  from  that  now  in  use 
thousands  of  wordx.  Any  one  who  will 
pfer  to  Sweet's  '  History  of  Knglish  Sounds,'

'towcI  sounds  in  Pope's  time. 
But  the  word  "  war "  proves  very  little. 
tt  could  1x5  rimed  with  "  far"  by  convention 
tradition,  owing  to  the  fact  that  there 
*1  been  a  time  when  the  rime  was  perfect. 
Chaucer's  'Prologue,'  I.  47,  "  wen-e,"  i e., 
war,"  rimes  with  "ferre,"  »>.,  "fartJier"; 
that  when  it  lost  its  final  t,  it  naturally 
nod  with  "for,"  i.e.,  "far."

As  to  any  one  family.  In  regard  to  tlie  fee 
iiuestion,  which  becomes  more  presBirig  every 
day,  many  Htudent-s  hope  for  the  patstinK  of 
an  Act  of  Parliament  providing  that  an  in- 
ventory be  made  of  oflicial  records  of  every 
cla^s  more  than  a  hundred  years  old,  and 
that  they  shall  in  future  be  freely  open  to 
accredited  students  every  dav  throughout 
the  year,  except  Sundayti  anu  public  lioli- 
days,from  9  A..M.  to  5  r.u., without  restriction. 
If  the  present  official  custodians  of  such 
records  cannot  freely  accommodate  students, 
the  record.^  should  be  turned  over  to  the

African  Slotus  (10"^  S.  v.  230).— There  is 
little  doubt  that  the  Central  American 
"sloths"  have  a  prescriptive  right  to  this 
popular  name,  though  Purchas,  apparently 
by  a  typographical  error,  gives  it  to  the 
"  Antfe.  or  tapirs.  But,  like  most  terms  of 
this  description,  especially  when  used  with  a 
distinctive  qualification,  the  name  "sloth" 
is  applied  by  travellers  and  writers  of 
popular  natural  histories  to  various  other 
animals,  amongst  which  must  be  reckoner! 
these  African  ones.  Lydekker,  in  his 
'MoDtly  Mammals,'  1903,  p.  314,  observes 
that  the  African  galagos  are  called  "  sloths," 
ns  well  as  the  alow  lemurs  of  India  and 
the  Malay  Peninsula  Besides  these,^  an 
Australian  marsupial,  the  kotilah,  has  gained 
the  appellation ;  and  an  Indian  bear

of  the  name— to  the  wolverine,  or  glutton —

TiiKopoE  Reysmax:  Asdeeas  Kellek  (lO*** 
S.  V.  268). — According  to  Jucher's  'Gelehrten 
Lexicon '  (Bremen,  ISIO),  Theodor  Reysman 
wa.s  a  Suabian  poet,  who  wrote  a  Latin  poem 
of  some  twentv-two  octavo  pages,  under  the 
title  of  '  Fons  iJlavus,'  on  tlio  beauties  of  the 
Blauthal.  There  is  no  indication  of  any  date 
or  place,  but  it  was  probably  written  at 
rim  between  the  autumn  of  1530  and  the 
of  1531.  Cf.  'Neuer  allgemein. 
literar.  Anreiger,'  1807,  p.  5-52.  His  name 
does  not  occur  in  the  Britbb  Museum  Cata- 
logae. 

Keller  or  Cellarius  i»  not  an  nncommon 
name.  An  Andreas  Keller  was,  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  sixteenth  century,  the  author 
of  several  theological  works,  sermons,  Ac,  in 
the  British  ^loseom  Library  ;  but  the  writer 
about  whom  your  correspondent  inquires 
must  have  appeared  on  the  scene  some  cen- 
tariea  later,  to  judge  by  the  title  of  his  book.

"HAMBKnBOXSE"     OP    WlfEAT    (10**'    S.    V. 

100,  270).— I  think  that  your  readers  mn$t 
all  dissent  from  the  remarkable  proceeding 
advocated  at  the  latter  reference. 

It  is  there  proposed— in  order  to  eatablikh] 
an  etvmology  that  cannot  so  conveniently' 
l>e  ollierwise  shown — to  assume  a  form,  and  { 
to  attribute  to  it  a  sense,  when  all  the  while 
there  is  nothing   to  show  for  either.     And 
further,  the  senses  are  manipulated  instead 
of  l>cing  quoted  from  authorities. 

The  word  Imnn  \n  assumed,  and  the  eenae  I 
aitsigned  in  "cask."    But  some  of  us  expect 
evidence. 

In  the  first  place,  we  are  told  ^,j'*^,  r'^ 
form  is  **  >jun>i,  Ijounu,  or  '/»'»*.'/"•."  '**b*ch 
meant  originally  "aca^k."  But  iu  wliat 
language?  Is  liuvi  Knglisli,or  Wench,  or 
I  Dutch?  Is  tj'iiin.i  EDKli-ih,  or  Ireuch,  or 
Dutch?  And  wbich  w  l^n'.nt' [  Are  all 
these  forms  imaginary  ?  If  ««»  «'»>■  rotnct 
the  forms  to  three  f  It  would  be  junt  am 
easy  to  imagine  three  or  four  more,  all 
equally  useless. 

As  a  specimen  of  manipulation  of  evidence, 
take  the  following.

rity  for  this  is  I'mcopimi,  whose  'Secret  HiBlorr,' 
the  Bubject  of  couBtaiit  attack,  is  now,  by  Ihe 
reacarL'hes  of  I>ahu  and  Haury,  established.  That 
the  work  of  Procojiitis  is  vitiated,  like  most  liis- 
tory,  by  iirejudite.  ignnrouce,  and  mistake  maybe 
conceded.  The  authorship  of  the  'Arcana,'  stroii^ly 
disnuted,  was,  however,  uranled  by  Motitef^i^uieu 
and  Cibbon.  and  i»,  at  we  nave  said,  established  by 
modern  invealigationg.  The  account  of  the  earlv 
life  of  the  oinpreta  ooiucidee  ])relty  closely,  acconf 
ingly,  with  that  of  Ciibbon,  and  the  most  sirikiiiK 
instances  of  her  ini|iudicity  have  occasionally,  iii 
the  later  account  an  in  the  earlier,  to  be  left  in  the 
decent  obscurity  of  a  learned  language.  We  leave 
Mr.  Uolmc4  at  the  outset  of  the  more  arduous 
portion  of  his  work.  What  is  done  is.  however,  of 
signal  value  and  authority,  and  we  know  few  works 
from  which  the  scholar  can  derive  a  more  truthful 
and  vivacious  niclure  of  a  deeply  interesting  and 
inipoi'tant  e)>och.

Tins  cotnpilaliou,  made  by  our  friend  Mr.  Richard 
Welford,  M.A.,  for  the  Surtees  Society,  is  in  its 
way  a  model,  and  may  count  as  one  of  the  most 
important  among  the  Society's  recent  publications. 
Materials  for  its  construction  are  fortunately 
abundant.  These  are  found  in  the  Public  Record 
Otlice  iu  London  and  in  the  Cathedral  Library  in 
Durham.  The  MS.  in  IJio  latter  repw^'t-ory  con- 
stitutes but  a  fragment :  those  at  the  Public  Record 
Office  extend  to  soine  three  hundred  vohimes,  two 
calendars  of  the  contentsof  which  have  been  issued 
under  the  editorship  of  Mrs.  Kverett  Green.  Com- 
piled from  these,  the  present  volume  con)|irises  the 
whole  of  the  MS.  at  Durham,  which  appears  to  be 
"a  t!ontomi)orary  transcrijit  of  original  records 
relating  to  sequestratious  in  the  county  of  Durham 
by  Sir  U'illiain  Armyne  and  other  Parliamentary 
Conimisaionera,  who  held  courts  of  conHscalion  in 
various  parts  of  the  county  during  the  years  1044 
and  Ifrlj."  In  the  case  of  the  I^ndon  collections, 
extracts  are  made  from  so  much  as  relates  to  t  he 
counties  of  Uurhnui  and  Northuml>erl«tid  in  the 
corresjiondciice  wbicli  passed  between  theuiiliiori- 
ties  in  London  and  the  Commissioners  for  .Sefjues- 
trntions  in  the  said  counties.  The  largest  and  the 
moat  important  jMirt  consists  of  an  alphabetical 
list  of  '  Se(|ueetrations  and  Comjiflsitions.'  arranged 
under  the  name  of  the  compounder,  with  a  selec- 
tion and  co-ordination  of  such  documents  as  nre  in 
any  sense  illuminatory  coiicorninK  the  delinquent, 
the  exleiit  of  Ins  esUle.  and  the  nature  of  the 
penalty.  An  appendix  in)ir>liea  "The  Seques- 
tration Ordinance,  the  Solemn  League  and 
Covenant,  the  National  Oath,  the  Oath  of 
Abjuration,  and  the  l-'ortu  of  Pardon  granted  to

GRAYS  'POEMS.-  1768. 
\jt  a  Ictlei'  lo  James  Beattie,  dated  24  Dec., 
17G7,  (jray  rt'fem  lo  a  propotal  which  Boallie 
liad  tiiai^Jo  to  him  ab<jut  printing  at  Glasgow 
what  little  he  hiul  ever  written.  Apparently 
Foulis,  the  Ula-Hgiiw  iirintor,  had  originated 
the  vuggeiition,  and  Gray  ohserves  that  he 
ought  to  bo  acquaiutcl  with  what  had 
tXntAs  boon  dono  in  the  matter.  Ho  goes 
on  to9»y:— 

"  \Vli<<iti  I  wju  ill  Lomlitn  the  ImI  iipring,  Dixlaley, 
tbo  bookseller,  aakeii  my  leave  lo  reprint,  in  a

Ciray,  ill 
^at  he  w. 
•i  Glaago'A 
than  at   t 


x."i;i     t.".^j9n."^     hL 


notes  and  a^hlitions.  The^e,  he  said,  xverOj 
imitations  of  two  pieces  of  old  Norn-egiait| 
poetry,  "in  which  there  was  a  wild  spirit  thai 
struck  me,"  and  a  few  parallel  passages  anC 
notes.  (Jray  liim.self  ha<i  no  interest  in  tlio 
publication  :  the  expense  was  the  publisher*!!, 
and  80  was  the  profit,  if  any  profit  there 
«^ere.  The  result  was  that  both  Dodsley  and 
Foulis  agree<l  to  publish  the  poems. 

Do<is1ey  was  first  in  the  field,  and  brouglit 
out  two  editions  (one  of  1,500  copies,  and  the 
other  of  750)  before  I'oulia  issued  his  book. 
Gray  writes  to  Boattie  under  date  .'51  Oct., 
1708,  that  ho  had  receiveti  two  copies  of  tlio 
poems  from  Foulis,  and  describes  the  edition 
as  moat  beautiful.  Dodsley's  editions,  lie 
adds,  are  both  far  inferior  to  tliatof  Glasgow, 
but  were  sold  at  half  the  price.  Dodsley'it 
first  issue  is  therefore  the  edilio  pn'ii<f/>'i  oi 
Qray's  collected  poems,  although  the  greatei 
part  of  the  contents  had  previously  api^earc  " 
in  different  forms.  It  is  curious  that  some 
doubt  appears  to  exist  with  regard  to  thb 
issue,  ana  some  years  ago  one  of  the  most 
eminent  booksellers  in  London  announced  il 
his  catalogue  the  second  issue,  or  rather 
edition,  aa  the  first.  I  drew  his  attention  to 
this  error,  of  which  he  professed  himself 
ODConBcious.  I  therefore  venture  to  give 
the  title- pago  and  a  brief  collation  of  the 
volume:  — 

"Poems   I  by   \   Mr.  Gray.     |  [ Publisher'* ' 
monogram.]  |  London:  Printedfor  J.  Doflsley, 
in  Pall-raall.  |  MDCiLXViii." 

Collation.— Small  octavo;  pp.  iv  +  122, 
consisting  of  half-title,  'Gray's  |  Poems,' 
marked  a  at  foot,  pp.  [i,  ii],  verso  blank  ; 
title  as  al)0\'e,  pp.  [iii,  iv],  verso  blank  ;  text 
of  the  poems,  pp.  f  lJ-120  ;  Contents,  p.  [121]; 
p.  [122]  blank.  The  register  is  :  a,  2  leaves  ; 
ii-ii,  in  eights;  l,  4  leaves,  K,  1  leaf.  Each 
poem  has  a  separate  half-title. 

The  contents  of  the  volume  are  :—

THE  GUNNINOS  OF  CASTLE  COOTE. 

About  three  miles  from  the  town  of  Itos- 

'ommon,  and  clone  to  the  village  of  Fuerty, 

itandv  the  cattle  built  by  Sir  Charles  Coote 

in  the  early  years  of  the  seventeenth  century 

(to  clieck  the  excur^iona  of  the  native  rebels), 

which  from  the  fir'nt  has  borne  the  name  of 

Castle  Cuoto.    According  to  a  time-honoured 

tradition,  the  beautifni  Mihh  Gunnings  spent 

a  ptirtion   of  their  girlhood  in  a  tliatched 

iouse    which   stood   near    the   walla  of  the 

cient  stronghold,  on  the  «ame  site  a^  the 

t  mansion.    It  is  certain  that  their 

rand  father  lived  here,  for  in  his  will,  dated 

&  January,  1717,  he  is  described  a^  Bryan 

unning,  of  Castle  Coote  ;  but  there  seems 

be    no   evidence,  among    the   numerous 

It  concerning  the  family  preserved  at  the 

ublin  KeconI  C>flice,  to  prove  that  it  ever 

the   residence   of    tlieir   father.    John 

lis,  after  he  was    married.     From  a 

of  settlement  dated  24  August,  1731, 

iiich  through  the  kindness  of  I^ady  Itussell, 

giftcfi  authorcHi,  I  have  been  able  to 

ixamine,   it  nnpcarsj  that  at   this  date   the 

alhcr  of  the  iTeautios,  then  a  Ijachelor,  was 

living  at  Cattle  iStr&nge,  about  three  milex 

from  Caslli!  C«K>t«.     Several  other  residences 

longing  to  the  Gunnings  arci  mentioned  in 

lie  same  document,  such  as  Holywell,  where 

Bartiaby,  the  brother  of  John  Gunning,  was 

'ivingj  and  "  the  Manor  Town  and  Lands  of 

'looniburn,"    which,    according    tu    a    will 

ated  12  April,  17.31  (Dublin  I'robate  Office), 

had  been    the  Mat  of   George,  the   eldest 

brother,  and  the  heir  to  the  estates  of  his 

father,  old  Brvan,  of  CasUo  Coote.    Another 

property  i«  doscribed   by  the  deed   as    "a 

house  and   ganien   calltKl   the  New  Inn  at 

Abbevtown";   but  although   there  is  a   de- 

tAileu  sdiedule  <>f  various  lands,  it  is  not 

<lMiUrMl  that  Castle  Coote  continued  to  form 

«  portion  of  the  estates.    Vet  it  is  evident 


that  George  Gunning  lived  here  after  the 
death  of  hia  father  {v.  Indented  Deed 
vol.  cxix.  fol.  &0,  Xo.  81351,  Dublin  Ilecorri 
Oflice) ;  and  it  is  equally  clear  that  he  i» 
described  as  the  owner  of  Clooniburn  when 
he  signed  his  la$t  will  and  testament  in 
April,  17.31.  Since  it  appears  from  the  deed 
of  settlement  of  August  in  this  same  year 
that  he  had  died  recently,  encumbere<l  with 
debts,  it  seems  probable  that,  l:»eing  obliged 
to  leave  the  home  of  hia  ancestors,  he  had 
taken  up  his  residence  on  another  estate. 
At  all  events,  we  do  not  hear  of  Castle  Coote 
in  connexion  with  the  Gunning  family  after 
the  year  1731. 

Through  the  documents  in  the  Dublio 
Record  Office  the  vicissitudes  of  other  pro- 
perties belonging  to  the  family  can  l>e  traced 
witli  tolerable  exactitude.  Before  his  mar- 
riage, in  October,  1731,  to  Bridget  Bourke. 
daughter  of  Theobald,  sixth  Viscount  JMayo> 
John  Gunning  had  leased  Castle  Strange  to 
a  cousin  Hol>ert  (c.  Deed  of  Lease  and  Ke- 
leaae,  US,  6,  46817.  Dublin  Record  Office) ;  and 
on  IG  June,  1742,  the  place  was  sold  to 
William  Ousley  (id  ,  1K>,  307,  77969).  Appa- 
rently, the  home  of  the  spendthrift  George 
met  a  similar  fate,  for  on  15  September,  1743, 
the  lands  of  Clooniburn  were  assigned  to 
John  Kelly  (112,  134,  77.392).  With  regard  to 
the  houfie  at  Holywell,  it  has  bf  en  suggested 
by  the  Rev.  J.  J.  Kelly  {v.  'Early  Haunts  of 
Goldsmith,"  p.  7ij)  as  the  home  of  the  cele- 
brated beauties,  who  are  said  to  have  acquired 
their  incomparable  complexions  from  the 
waters  of  St.  Bridget's  Tool  hard  bv.  For- 
tunately for  romance,  there  is  notning  in- 
credible  in  the  story  that  the  ladies  tested 
the  qualities  of  the  magic  well;  but  unless 
the  Gunnings  ownetl  two  houses  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood, it  is  improbable  that  they  lived 
here.  It  has  been  shown  that  their  uncle 
Barnaby  resided  at  Holywell  in  August,  1731, 
a«  he  continued  to  do  after  the  marriage  of 
his  brother  John  (G8,  C,  46817);  and  the 
various  leases  and  releases  granted  by  him, 
which  may  be  found  in  the  Dublin  Record 
OfHce.  prove  that  he  did  not  change  his 
abode. 

I^t  us  now  trace  the  movements  of  John, 
the  fatlior  of  the  beautiful  Miss  Gunnings. 
Almost  immediately  after  his  marriage  to 
Bridget  Bourke  on  23  October,  1731,  as  Ijiuiy 
Russell  was  the  first  to  [>oint  out,  he  took  up 
his  residence  at  Heiningford  Grey,  two  miles 
from  St.  Ives,  in  Huntingdonshire,  in  the 
Manor  or  Red  Hnnso,  which  i>elonged  to  his 
brother-in  law  Win.  Mitchell,  of  Carshalton. 
Hitherto  the  date  of  his  removal  to  Ireland 
has  been  the  subject  of  conjecture.  Obviously

it  could  not  have  occurred  earlier  tli&o 
11  J«Tjuary,  1730  7,  for  the  parish  registeci 
8liovr  that  liis  infant  daughter  ISophia,  bap- 
iiKed  at  the  end  of  November,  wa,%  buried  on 
that  day  at  Heniingford.  Since  he  had 
inheritea  the  frecliold  estatet  on  the  decease 
of  his  brother  George  in  1731,  tlie  death  of  a 
relative,  a9  in  sometimes  •jurniised,  could  not 
have  called  him  over  to  succeed  to  the  pro- 
l>orty.  With  the  heln  of  the  documenl? 
preserved  in  the  Dublin  Record  Oriice  the 
time  of  his  he^ira  may  lie  fixe<3  approxi- 
mately. In  a  lease  dated  1  February,  1741, 
fie  is  described  as  John  Gunning,  uf  the 
Middle  Temple  (for  it  should  be  remembered 
that  he  waa  admitted  a  mentber  on  3  Novem- 
ber, 1725) ;  while  on  10  March  of  the  same 
J  ear  he  is  particularized  in  another  lease  as 
ohn  Gunning,  of  ALl^jjtoicn,  co.  Roscommon. 
There  Hoema  to  have  been  a  special  reason 
why  he  should  have  gone  to  reside  on  or 
near  his  Connaught  proi)erties  about  this 
period.  In  the  deed  of  settlement  of  August, 
1731,  necessitated  by  the  demise  of  the  spend- 
thrift George,  his  brother  Barnaby  bad  agi'eed 
for  certain  considerations  to  discharge  ail  the 
debts  affecting  the  fee-simple  estate  icithin 
i/u  tjHice  of  ten  nenrs.  Sucli  a  surmise  may 
seem  of  no  value  in  view  of  the  character  of 
the  man,  but  certainly  it  is  a  coincidence 
that  he  should  have  returned  to  Roscommon 
<luring  the  very  year  that  his  property  was 
freed  from  its  encumbrances. 

It  i«  also  a  curious  fact,  bearing  in  mind 
the  old-established  Ijelief  that  he  came  over 
to  Ireland  to  live  in  tiie  home  of  his  fathers 
at  Castle  Cooto,  tliat  he  should  Ije  descriljed 
AS  John  Gunning,  of  Ablwytown,  a  portion 
of  the  towM  of  Roscommon  situated  near  the 
old  abbey.  Tlie  two  deeds  quoted  above  are 
not  isolated  instances.  In  no  fewer  than 
three  other  legal  documents  during  the  years 
1742-3  the  same  place  is  given  as  liis  residence. 
Every  other  lease  and  conveyance  concerning 
the  family  is  scrupulousy  accurate  in  its  de- 
scriptions, and  the  various  properties  par- 
ticularized as  tlie  homes  of  the  brothers  at 
different  periods— Castle  Strange,  Clooniburn, 
Holywell— were  all  included  in  the  Gunning 
estates.  Thus  it  would  appear  a  reasonable 
conjecture  that  John  Gunning  took  up  his 
abode  witli  his  beautiful  dauglitera  in  "  the 
house  and  garden  called  the  New  Inn  at 
Abbeytown,"  which  is  named  in  the  instruc- 
tive deed  of  settlement.  Never  once  is  he 
identified  with  Ca.sllo  Coote,  although  his 
different  residences  in  Dublin,  Wettmiuster, 
and  Somerset  House  can  be  traced  in  many 
documents  J   and   as  late  as   August,    1765

^  Hornby  and  Feilden  M  P.s.— Now  tliat 
the  political  complexion   of    the  new  Par- 

tliaraent  lia^i  been  analyzed  thoroughly,  one 
of  its  personal  aspects  invites  attention, 
lleference  has  been  made  in  more  than  one 
<^uarter  to  the  breach  of  hiiitoric  ':ontinuity 
by  the  loss  of  the  seat  for  South  ]^!onmouth> 
shire  by  Col.  Morgan,  one  of  a  family  which 
seemed  almost  to  have  establinhed  a  pre- 
scriptive right  to  represent  that  county  ; 
but  note  has  not  been  taken  of  the  fact  that, 
by  the  retention  of  the  seat  at  Blackburn, 
Sir  William  Henry  Hornby  lias  preserved 
an  historic  continuity  which,  as  lar  as  the 
past  three-quarters  of  a  century  are  con- 
concerned,  18  even  more  remarkable  and 
complete.  A  John  Hornby,  an  E.  K.  Hornby, 
and  another  William  Henry  Hornby,  had 
been  chosen  for  this  Lancashire  borough 
before  there  was  first  returned  the  present 
Conservative  member,  who  is  the  son  of  the 
last  named  and  brother  of  the  second.  So 
clannish  has  Blackburn  proved,  indeed,  that 
a  Hornby  or  a  Feilden,  and  sometimes  one  of 
each,  has  represented  it  in  every  Parliament 
from  1832  to  1880 ;  and  when  in  1868  William 
Henry  Hornby  the  elder  and  Josepli  Feilden 
were  re-elected,  even  in  that  time  of  Liljeral 
victory  elsewhere  throughout  the  country, 
but  were  unseated  on  petition,  the  local 
Tories  ran  a  sou  of  each— E.  K.  Hornby  and 
H.  M.  Feilden— and  triumphantly  returned 
them  both,  defeating  Mr.  John  Morley, 
himself  a  Blackburnian  by  birth,  in  liis  first 
fight  for  Parliament.  Mr.  E-  K.  Hornby  sat 
in  only  that   House  of  Commons,   but  Mr. 

PH.  M.  Feilden  was  re-elected  in  187-t :  and, 
though  there  was  no  Hornby  for  Blackburn 
in  the  Parliaments  of  1874,  1860,  and  1885, 
the  present  member  was  sent  to  Westminster 
in  1886  ;  and  when  ten  years  later  he  stated 
hisdetermiuation  to  withdraw  from  parliamen- 
tary life,  the  local  pressure  put  upon  him  to 
8tav  proved  too  strong  for  his  resolution, 
and  at  Westminster  he  still  remains.

"  Pleachy "  is  said  to  mean  "  mellow,  pow-

aUndftrd  of  refinement.     This  is  probably 
ropivaentod  in  Boms'*  "low'ring  and  iwar- 
iog"    in     the    lyric    entitled     'To     Kain,' 
ecpecimlly    when  it  ia   considered    that  the 
poem  iit  written  in  En^Hsh  and  that  other 
poete— Prior,    (J&mpbell,    and    so   on — riiii' 
foteer  with  iv^Krr,     In  another  English  poem, 
the  '  Kpistlo  from  Esopua,'   Burns   haa  thin 
characteristically  trenchant  couplet  :— 
VN  hy,  Lonsdale,  thus  Ihy  wrath  on  vsffranta  pour  ; 
Most  «arth  no  rascal  save  thyself  endure? 
In  other  lyrics— 'The  Birlcs  of  Aberfeldy,' 
•Her  Answer.'    'Sleep'st  Thou'— the    poet 
ag&in  ases  erulutY  as  a  rime  for  /f>ui\  making 
also  boiper.  jlower,    hour,   and   shotro'   con- 
veniently   renpoMMive.      In     all    these    the 
dominant  ScotLitili   pronunciation  may  well 
be  repre«ented.     But  Burns's  contemporary, 
the     llev.    Joiin    Morrison     of     Canniabay, 
Caithness,  who  died  in  1798,  probahly  gives  | 
the  scholarly  value  in  the  well  known  hymn 
which   he  contributed   to  the  collection   of 
'Scripture   Paraphrases,*    prepared  for   the 
service  of  prai«ie  in  tlie  Church  of  Scotland. 
Base<l  on  St.  Matthew   xxyi.  26-29.  this  is 
No.  3.'>  of  the  series,  and  it   is  inseparably 
associated  with  the  celebration  of  the  Holy 
Communion.    The  closing  stanza  in  interest- 
ing, not  only  for  the  rime   in   which  pour 
lias  a  share,  but  also  because  of  the  example 
it    affords    of    the    early    pronunciation    of 
draucfht.    It  is  as  follows  : — 

With  love  to  man  this  out*  is  frauRht, 

I^et  sll  pa.rt«ke  the  sacrea  draught ; 

Through  latest  ages  lot  it  pour. 

In  nieni'ry  of  my  dying  hour. 

The  aame  rime  occurs  in  the  tenth  Scripture 
Paraphrase,  st.  3,  and  it  is  twice  used  in 
Campbell's  '  Pleasures  of  Hope,'  Part  I. 

In  the  second  section  of  "The  Poet's  Mind' 
Tennyson  writes  :— 

Holy  water  will  I  pour 
Into  every  spicy  flower. 

Examples  of  the  conventional  pronunciation 
of  pottr  may  easily  bo  found  in  the  English 
poetry  of  the  last  three  centuries.  Tliere  is, 
for  instance,  Cray's  strenuous  dencripLion  of 
the  stream  of  music  in  the  opening  strophe 
of  '  The  Progress  of  Poesy  '  :— 

Headlong,  impetuous,  see  it  pour  ; 

The  rooks  and  nodding  groves  relrallow  to  the  roar. 

Young,  whose  miscellaneous  poems  are  a 
curious  storehouse  of  references  a.s  well  sis 
rimes,  frequently  uses  pour  as  the  closing 
syllable  of  his  couplets,  but  always  links  it 
with  a  word  that  suggests  its  modern  sound 
— more,  roar,  thore,  and  so  on.  This,  from  the 

at's  'Paraphrase  on  Part  of  the  Book  of 
11.  125-30  IB  a  good  example  of  the

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.     [io*s.v.Anat.! 


Bat  I  have  noted  the  following  (amid 
dozens  of  other)  instances  which  upaet  any 
tlieory  :— 

Poicer,  adore,  and  Jlower,  twore.  Gray. 
Power,  more.  Pope  and  Prior.  Power,  aftore, 
Cowper ;  restore,  devour,  adjourn,  vinrn, 
'Hudibras';  wwurn,  born.  Prior;  f/ourn,  for- 
tiporn,  mourn,  unborn,  Dryden. 

Surely  the  reaaouable  conclusion  of  the 
whole  matter  is  that  in  such  cases  rime- tests 
are  inconcluHive.  That  the  oitr  combination 
in  Engli'ih  ia  as  fully  entitled  to  the  ore  sound 
as  to  the  other  is  obvious,  not  only  from  the 
exaraplea  above,  but  from  the  following  :  — 

Court,  is  regularly  rime<l  with  simrt,  &c. 
(Ever  with  "  ifiourt  "  1) 

Mourn  is  commonly  rimed  with  iojii,  ifcc. 
(Ever  with  our'n  1) 

Source,  course,  Jtc,  regularly  with  horse, 
force,  kc. 

Gourd  with  aford  {'  Polyolbion,'  20,  59), 
Bcored  (Browning).    (Ever  with  srouredl) 

Scoxtrge  regularly,  of  course,  with  urge,  but 
I  think  any  poet  would  admit  /onje.     Or  is 
one  to  be  restricted  to  this  sort  of  thing  ? — 
We  wilL  oe'er  entrust  with  our  gees

I  think  that  it  ia  impossible  to  equate  the 
verb  jKiitr  with  a  French  jmrer,  "  to  clarify." 
The  fact  that  the  word  wnr  was  rimed  by 
Dunbar,  Pope,  Gay,  and  Burns  with  shower, 
Jlower,  hour,  proves  tliat  this  etymology  is 
untenable.  Such  an  explanation  is  forbidden 
by  the  laws  which  govern  the  relation 
between  French  words  and  their  English 
eqaivalentn.  Fr.  purer  represents  Lat. 
pitrdre,  with  long  w.  This  m  remains  in 
[English  words  ;  compare  imde,  bugle^  fescue, 
tnuse  (vb.),  puce,  pure,  cure,  endure,  immure, 
sure.  According  to  tliis  rule  it  is  impossible 
to  accept  the  equation  of  E.  sfmr,  "  to  cleanse 
by  ruboing,"  with  O.Fr.  escurer  ;  such  a  form 
would  have  given  in  English  *scttre,  compare 
CM/"«:.  The  regular  source  of  on  pronounced 
AS  in  tjynae,  in  English  words  derived  from 
the  French,  is  Bomanic  o  close  or  open,  from 
Latin  o  long  or  short,  or  short  it.  The 
following  examples  will  suffice  :  Aowr,  fiour, 
^/fotver,  devour,  tower,  vow.  (/out. 

Nor  is  the  proposed  etymology  warranted 
by  a  comparison  of  the  senses  of  the  two 
words,  for  there  is  no  neces-sai}-  association 
between  the  notions  of  pouring  and  clari- 
fying ;  surely  it  is  possible  to  clarify  without 
the  act  of  pouring.  Hence  it  seems  to  me 
that  we  have  still  to  seek  the  etymology  of 
7WMJ-.  It  U  a  pity,  but  it  is  better  to  be 
still  seeking  than  to  be  contentetl  with  an 


explanation  which  contravenes  the 
English  and  French  phonetics.     As 
word  jicour, which  Prof.Skeat ilrrivi^s i 
from  O.Fr.  escurer,  I  would  sn. 
due  to  a  Scandinavian  source  .  ;    i

In  Charles  Eye's  plan  of  Liverpool, dated 
1785,  there  are  two  places,  viz.,  Shaw  Placej 
apparently  a  portion  of  the  street  between 
Whitechapet  and  what  ia  now  the  old  Hay- 
roarket ;  and  Duke's  Place,  that  portion  of 
the  street  facing  Duke's  Dock. 

I  would  also  call  the  attention  of  Da. 
Murray  to  a  passage  in  Leiand's  'Itinerary,' 
vol.  vii.  p.  133  (Oxford,  1744),  in  reference  to 
the  town  "cawled  Bellirica,  as  who  should 
say  in  Latine  Bellocastrura,  and  that  the  new 
name  of  Court-upstreate  began  by  reason  of 
the  Place  or  Court  that  the  Lord  of  the  Soyle 
kept  there."  The  sense  here  is  rather  in- 
volved, but  it  seems  to  rae  it  may  have  meant 
"  Place  '*  in  a  topographical  sense.

A  full  and  interesting  account  of  this  old

first  volume  of  The  Manx  yote  Book  (1885), 
written  by  Mr.  A.  W.  Moore,  who  waa  the

Royal  Arms  in  Chukches  (10"*  S.  v.  188, 
230,  204).— It  may  bo  well  to  record  a  straugo 
blunder  tliat  was  made  in  the  early  years  of 
the  laxt  century  as  to  the  royal  arms  in  the 
church  of  Xorthorpe,  a  little  village  near 
hero.  Over  the  chancel  arch  was  a  rudely 
painteci  Hhield  with  supporters,  the  armorial 
bearings  of  Charles  IL,  which  probably  re 
placed  something  of  the  kind  of  earlier  date 
that  had  been  swept  away  during  the 
Commonwealth,  rnder  the  shield  had  been 
painted  the  date  1G6C,  but  the  upper  part  of 
the  first  6  had  beeti  effaced,  either  purposely 
or  by  accident,  causing  it  to  read  106t>.  Such 
it  was  supposed  to  be  till  one  da}'  an  artist 
who  waj)  staying  at  Gainsborough  came  over 
to  see  the  church.  He  proved  to  such  people 
a^i  had  minds  open  to  conviction  tliat  they 
were   the  arms   not  of    VVilliaua   the    Con- 

Sueror,  but  of  his  remote  descendant  the 
lerry  Monaich.  When  the  church  was  re- 
'pairedsome  time  early  in  the  last  centur>',the 
arms  were  destroyed.  My  father  could  well 
remember  noticing  them  wlien  he  was  a 
rchild,  but  I  did  not  learn  from  him  whether 
they  were  painted  on  canvas,  wood,  or 
plaster.  Edward  Peacock.

John  Penhallow  (lO'*  S.  iv.  507  ;  v.  16, 
37,  76).— In  consequence  of  the  appearance 
of  my  note  I  have  received  from  Mr.  Charles 
S.   Penhallow,   of    Boston,   Mass.,  a  quarto 

Immplilt-t  tnititlfid  on  tho  cover  'The  Pen- 
lallovv  Paiiels.'  It  is  of  eight  pages,  with 
three  half-tone  reproductions:  one  of  the 
fireplace,  *lie  others  of  two  of  the  four  doors. 
The  pamphlet  is  anonymous,  but  is  addressed 
from  "Jamaica  Plain,  Mass.,  October,  1905." 
Mr.  Peiihallow  has  compiled  it  chiefly  from 
information  supplied  him  by  tlie  Director 
( Jlr.  A.  B.  Skinner)  of  the  Victoria  and  Albert 
Museum,  South  Kensington. 

Mr.  Penhallow  gives  an  account  of  the 
room,  with  some  information  I  have  not  seen 
elsewhere.  It  seems  that  tlio  Director  of  the 
V.  anfl  A,  .M.  found  the  Penhallow  family  to 
?o  extinct  in  England,  but  eventually  got 
jnto  correspondence  with  Jlr.  C.  S.  Pen-

to  Uje  same  authority,  ilie  Htaamer  Royal 
WiUiam  of  180  ii.p.  arrived  in  London  from 
Quebec  ia  1833.  A  steamer,  therefore,  was 
uo  longer  a  atrange  sight  in  Canada  in  1638.

There  wa'S  a  vessel  of  this  nanie  built  in 
1830  at  Newcastle,  owners  Hay  &  Co.,  Sun- 
derland, bub  she  was  a  "snow"  (variety  of 
brie)  of  172  ton8,  and  in  1838  wa.<«  apparently 
trading  between  London  and  LeKnorn  or 
thereabouts.  She  was  wrecked  in  1842.  Mb. 
Rali-u  Thomas  refers  to  a  stearaer  which 
arrive<i  (where  from?)  at  Montreal  in  1838; 
but  as  he  remarks  that  he  "never  before 
heard  of  a  sliip  being  so  named,"  I  send  the 
above.  I  raj-self  am  continually  coming 
across  vessels  (in  print),  scores  and  scores  of 
thera,  of  which  I  never  heard  before.  But 
perhaps  I  miss  your  correspondent's  point.

HOLBOEN  (10"'  S.  ii.  308,  392,  457,  403  ;  iii. 
5G,  234 ;  V.  295),  —  The  evidence  of  Stow, 
Camden,  and  Munday,  so  confidently  praised 
at  the  last  reference,  is  all  absolutely  wortji- 
less  on  such  a  point  as  this.  Whoever  trusts 
in  what  is  said  by  Elizabethan  writers  about 
etymology  must  be  very  easily  satisfied. 
Tho  notion  that  the  spelling  Oldbourne,  as 
occurriijp  iu  l(Jll,  is  final,  is  suuply  ludicrous. 
The  spelling  Holburne  occurs  twice  in  one 
page  of  the  'Liber  Albus,'  p.  233,  in  an 
Anglo-French  document  known  to  be  older 
than  1419  at  the  latest;  and  much  older 
quotations  have  already  been  given. 

Seeing  that  the  prefix  Uol-  or  its  equivalent 
llole  ,  Holan-,  occurs  more  than  sixty  times 
in  Anglo-Saxon  charters,  it  is  by  no  means 
easy  to  deny  Ha  existence.  Besides  which, 
any  county  atlas  will  give  two  Holbecks,  two 
Holbrooks,  four  Holcorabes,  Uolcot  and 
Hulcott,  four  Hoi  wells,  and  so  forth. 

Why  this  matter  cannot  be  allowed  to  rest 
I  do  not  know.      No  one  who  has  learnt 
Anglo-Saxon  for  a  few  months  would  boggle 
over  it.    But  perhaps  that  is  just  the  point.

regarding  the  present  locality  of  the  Lincoln

«  ceremony  of  this  sort  which  was  ]»': 
Dishop  Wilton  in  17;W,  when  Lancelot 
was  archbishop.      The  ivenance  wiu  lulH  luJ    lur 
a   violation  of  the  sevonih   ooniiiiandniefjt.       The 
offender  had  to  stand  in  the  church  porch  bareheaded 
and  with  bare  feet,  witli  a  white  rod  in  his  Imnd, 
and  vested  in  a  lone  white  sheet,  and  was  to  boK 
all  those  who  entered  the  church  to  pray  for  him. 
After  the  second  lesson  was  over  he  was  to  enter 
the  church  and  say  in  English  the  |>sulni  "Miserere 
niei,"  and  then  make  public  confession  of  his  evil 
'CODQUut.     We  presume,  but  are  by  no  means  sure, 
that  absolution  followed.

TllE  Dotice  of  Paniber  Church  is  intereatinR.  It 
was  once  a  chapel  of  the  Benedictine  I'riory  of 
ijhcrborne,  fuuuded  by  Henry  de  Port  in  the  twelfth 
-century,  aod  consisted  originally  of  an  aisleless 
nave.  It  was  attached  to  the  muiiastery  of  .St.  Vigor 
in  Normandy,  and  waa  supiiri'ssed,  aloni;  with  the 
other  ali(>n  houses,  early  in  tlie  Hfteenih  century. 
Among  the  interesting  objeeta  this  church  contains 
is  a  cross-legged  effigy  maae  of  wood.  Three  other 
livooden  ettigies  are  mentione<i  as  bciug  in  the  cliurch 
-of  Sparaholt,  in  Berkshire.  A  note  should  bo  made 
•of  these,  for  in  most  ]>art«  of  England  cthfiies  of 
this  material  are  of  great  rarity.  There  is  a  list 
of  wootlen  eitigies  (which  we  believe,  however,  is 
1)y  no  means  cotn|ilete)  in  Archoologia,  vol.  xlvi.

.ctionnry.  In  the  other  nn  afflicted  lady, 
^linm  we  roay  identify  with  GiHinonda,  is 
prcpaiidg  to  Kill  herself,  because  her  lover, 
Guidiaido,  has  been  done  to  death  by  a 
cruel  parents  no  doubt  Tancre^l. 

Now  Farrant  was  Master  of  the  Children 
of  the  Chapel  at  Windnor,  and  as  such  ho 
was  accuHtoiued  (as  were  some  other  masters 
of  cliori8ter«)  to  prepare  plays  to  be  pre 
sented  before  the  Queen  (Heuerally  alx>ut 
Christmastide  or  Shrovetide)  every  year. 
There  are  numerous  entries  to  he  found  in 
the  'Acts  of  the  Privy  Council  '  of  payments 
for  tiie  performance  of  these  plays  to 
different  masters  of  choristers,  such  as 
Sebastian  Westcott,  Master  of  the  Children 
of  St.  Paul's  ;  John  Taylor,  of  Wentininster ; 
Hunnis,  of  the  Chapel  Royal ;  and  others. 
The  payujents  to  Farrant  are  for  plays 
presented  at  different  dates  l>etween  Feb- 
ruary, KitiG  7,  and  March,  1579  80.  He  died, 
it  should  be  said,  on  30  Nov.,  1580. 

There  is  nothing  to  bo  learnt  from  the 
'Acts  of  the  Privy  Council'  about  the  names 
of  these  Farrant  plays,  but  a  few  particulars 
may  be  gleaned  from  CunninKliara's 
'Accounts  01  the  Revels  at  Court.'  On  Now 
Year's  Day,  1571  2,  for  instance,  the  Windsor 
Children  presented  *Ajax  and  Ulisses'; 
on  Twelfth  Day,  1573  4,  it  waa  'Quintus 
Fabius':  on  Twelfth  Day,  157G  7,  it  waa 
'Mulius  Scievola.'  There  was  also  a  play 
presented  in  January,  1574  5  (perhaps  on 
Twelfth  Day),  of  which  the  name  is  not 
given,  but  to  which  the  following  entry  in 
the  accounts  relates  :  — 

*'xj  Janiiarij  for  a  perwigtc  of  He»re  for  King 
Xerxces  syntcr  in  ffarrnnles  \A*ye ;  iifj*.  viij'"." 

I  had  formed  some  vague  hojie  that  this 
minht  possibly  prove  to  have  been  our 
tragedy,  but  I  do  not  see  how  Xerxea's  sister 
can  have  found  her  way  into  a  play  dealing 
with  the  period  of  C'yrus  the  Great.  So  we 
must  content  ourselves  with  the  conjecture 
that  ours  is  one  of  the  unnamed  plays  per- 
fortued  at  Court  by  the  Windsor  Children 
under  the  direction  of  Richard  Farrant,  at 
some  date  between  February,  1667,  and 
March,  1580. 

As  to  the  Guicliardo  song,  one  must 
suppose  that  it  came  out  of  a  play  of 
'  Tan c red  and  Gismonda';  but  I  have  not 
come  upon  any  traces  of  such  a  play,  except- 
inR,  of  course,  that  printed  in  Dodsley's 
'Old  Plays.'  with  which  this  has  notlung  to 
io-     If,  as  I  suppose,  this  song  is  bj'  Farrant, 

also  may  be  an   extract  from  one  of  the 

inamed  plays  presented  by  the  Windsor 
Jhildrer*.

addn  fxiint,  indeed,  to  the  burlesque,  if  we 
think  of  the  audience  before  whutn  it  was 
first  given,  many  of  wiiom  must  have  known 
the  t«diuu«  originals  only  loo  well  in  former 
days,  nveri  if  we  are  to  8Uf>po»e  that  in  1595 
or  thereabouts  plays  of  thia  ty|M  had  Ijeon 
entirely  ttupenjeded  in  Court  circles.  And 
hero  it  may  be  worth  noting  that  a  fairly 
fall  hixtory  of  the  pro<luction  of  a  Court 
plav  of  thin  kind  can  be  pieced  together, 
with  the  ex[>eniiituro  of  some  little  trouble, 
from  Cunninghana's  'Accounts  of  the  UeveU 
at  Court '—from  the  preliminary  "r>eruMinK 
and  reforming,"  to  the  )a«t  minute  when  all 
was  rf'Hiiy,  when  it  might  happen  that  the 
play  was  never  performed  after  all.  This 
mtHfortune,  which  so  nearly  befell  the  "  tediou<i

I  CONTINUE  my  notes  on  Greene  and  Pri- 
Riaodayc. 

Primaudaye^  chap,  xii.,  'Of  Speech  and

Primaudaye.  chap,  xii.,  p.  130;  "thetoong,

which  Iwfing  within  ought  txj  nerve  in  stcade 
of  a  briiile  to  Ntay  it  from  preventintf  the 
thought,  we  might  restraino  and  chaHtice  the 
irapudoncio  thereof  with  blouddy  biting. 
And  Ixicau^o  we  have  two  e«ro>i  and  two 
ei«8,  it  ought  to  serve  us  for  inotruction,  that 
wo  Diutit  hearo  aod  m«  much  mont  than  we 


speake."— Greene,  *  Penelope's  Web  '  (v.  221), 

1587:  "Itseemeth(saith  Biaa)  that  nature 

[word  for  word  to]  and  chaatice  such  impudent 
babling  by  bytitig.  And  therefore,  saiih  he, 
we  have  two  eyeti  and  two  eares,  that  thereby 
we  may  learne  to  heare  and  see  much  mor» 
then  in  spoken."  Primaudaye  does  not  attri- 
bute the  well-known  metaphor  of  "the 
bulwark  of  teeth  "  (more  commonly  "  pales  "> 
to  liias,  although  it  may  be  implied.  It  in 
used  earlier  in    '  Euphues '   (145):    "Nature 

hedge<l    the   tongue   with  two  rowes  of 

teeth."  And  in  Shakeajjeare  ('  Richard  II.'), 
Chapman,  Ben  Jonson,  inc.  Very  likely  the 
image  ia  met  with  earlier  in  English,  but  we 
see  whence  Greene  derived  it. 

Primaudaye,  chap,  xii.,  p.  132:  "Caesar  ia 
a  letter  which  he  sent  to  Home  from  the- 
Peraian  battailo,  wrote  but  these  three  words, 
Vent,  vidi,  riV*.  tliat  ia  to  saie,  I  came,  sawe. 
and  overcame."— Greene,  'Penelope's  Web* 
(v.  206):  "Forward  Calamus  in  thy  purpose, 
triumph  man.  and  say  a«  Ca'ijar  did  in  his 
conquers,  I'tni,  vidi.  vici."  And  again,  'The 
Spanish  Masquerado'  (v.  276,  277),  1080: 
"Don  Pedro,  thinking  that  no  sooner  he 
woulde  have  arrived  in  the  English  Coasi 
but  he  would  have  writt«n  back,  as  the 
Homain  Monarch  did,  Ve?it,  vidi,  vici." 
Primaudaye'i  words  here  are  those  oJ 
North's  'Plutarch's  Lives'  ('Julius  Cwsar'), 
and  also  of  Shakespeare's  'Love's  Labour'» 
Lost,'  IV.  i.  C9. 

Primaudaye,  chap,   xiii.,    'Of    Friendship 
and  a  Friend,"  p.  138  to  p.  148  is  lK>dily  lifted 
into    Greene's     "Silvestro'a.     discourse     of 
Friendsliip,"  'Second    Part  of  Tritameron ') 
iii.  146-60).  1587.     It  begins  thu.s  in  Primau- 
daye, p.  138 :  "  First  we  say  with  Socrates, 
that [twelve  lines  skipped] Friend- 
ship is  a  comnmnion   of   a  perpetuall  will,, 
the  end  whereof  is  fellowship  of  life,  and  it 
is  frame<)  by  the  perfect  habit  of  a  long  con- 
tinued  love.       Wliereby,"    «kc.       Silvestro's 
discourse  begins:    "Socrates,   whom  Apollo 
htmselfi)  noted   fur  a   wine  man,  said   that 
Friend.'jhip  is  acommunion,"  Jkc.     From  hero- 
to   p.   IW),  the  end  of  Silvestro's  discour* 
there  is  scarcely  an  alteration.     Out  one 
two  are  worthy  of  note.     I  may  mention  t\\ 
in    the    two    texts    l)efore    me     a    pnce 
Primaudaye  gives  Greene  about  a  p^ 

a  quarter.     On   p.   145   Primaudaye  n 

Jonathan  and  David  amongst  "  the  l)©4t  a 
most  excellent  friendship^."  Greene  omi^ 
them,  and  also  Achilles  and  Patroclus,  begin 
nitig  with  Pylados  ami  Orestea  (p.  157, 
Greene).  Greene  on  this  page^  quotes- 
Priraaudayo's  "  Ephenus  an<l  Everitus" 
(p.  146)  as  "Ephemus  and  Everitius."    Go-

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.      [ms.x.ysxn 


p.  147  Priraaudaye's  "That  preat  llomano 
Captaine  and  Consal  Titus  riamitiiin" 
becomes  in  Greeue.  p.  IGO,  "That  great 
Ilom<»ue  Captain  and  Consull  Titus  Klaviuu." 
And  one  or  two  misprints  ("disconfited  " 
for  "discomfited";  "  hystoriographer  "  for 
*'  liistciriographer")  appear  attlie  same  place. 
Primaudaye  winds  up  with  "Thoroforo 
Cicoro  5aid  very  well,  that  no  Commonwealth 
can  either  with  t<jo  little,  or  too  late  recom- 
pence  hir  native  countrinian"  (p.  14H). 
Greene  alters  this  to  "Tlierefore  Cicero 
said  verio  well,  that  friendship  in  so  excellent 
a  thing,  that  it  far  excclleth  all  other 
transitorio  contents"  (p.  IPO). 

There  is  one  interesting  result  in  thig  process 
of  appropriation  :  Greene's  text  and  glossary 
become  possessed  of  many  terms  U)  which 
he  has  no  claim  whatever,  llo  thus  leads 
to  his  inevitahle  detection  by  the  laborious 
word  huntpr.  In  this  block  we  have  the 
''wrynecks  of  Alexander  the  Great  and 
Alfonsus  of  Arragon  "  ;  "  Parasites  and  scrap- 

fjalherers  [misprinted  in  Greene]  at  free  cost 
easts"  (p.  I'lb,  Greene);  and  others.     This 
is  a  dignified  discourse,  and  well  worthy  of 
Oreene's  attention.     He  must  be  admitted 
to  be  a  capital  amalgamator. 

Primaudaye,  chap,  xiv  ,  'Of  Reprehension 
and  Admonition,'  p.  153:   "Therefore  Plato 
said   that  he  corrected   Speusippus    by  the 
example  of  hi-s  life."— Greene,  'Tritameron ' 
<iii.  161):    "J3ut  with   Plato  to  correct  his 
friend  Spensippns  [sic]  by  the  example  of  Jiis 
owne  vertue.       Primaudaye  continues  with 
an    episode    of    Xenocrates    and     Polemon, 
Greeue  has  a  different  remark  of  Zuuocralos 
to  Poleman. 

Primaudaye,  chap,  xix.,  '  Of  Sobrietio  and 
Frugalitie,'  p.  203  :  "  I  suppose  the  Egyptians 
did   better,  who  used  in  the  middle  of  their 
bankets  to  bring  in  the  Anatomie  of  a  dead 
bodie  dried,   that  the  horror   thereof  might 
cnntaine    them     in    all    mwlestie." — Greeue, 
•Farewell  to  Follie'{ix.  330):    "  Tiie  Egyp 
iians  used  in  the  middest  of  their  banquets) 
to   bring  in   the  anatomie  of  a  dead  man, 
that  iiorrour  of  the  corps  might   mitigate 
imraoiierate  delights." 

Primaudaye,  chap,  xix.,   pp.  201-2:    "To 
this  edect  Timotheus,   a  Grecian  captaine, 
having  supped  with  Plato  in  the  Academie 
at  a  sober  and  simple  repast  (for  the  greatest 
festival  dainties  wore  oiives,  cheese,  apples, 
coleworta,   bi-ead,   &   wine),   said,   that   they 
which    sup    with    Plato,    feele    the    benefit 
thereof  the  next  day,  yea  a  long  time  after.

Lesley  '  was  one  of  the  first  songs  coubributed 
by  Burns  to  George  Thomson's  '  Select 
Collection  of  Original  Scottish  Airs,'  and  it 
appears  in*  that  work,  vol.  i.  p.  33.  Tiie 
publisiier,  it  seems,  took  it  upon  him  to 
alter  the  line  in  question,  presenting  it  in  the 
form  adopted  in  'Tlie  Gofilen  TreJisury,'  and 
thereby  considerably  offendini;  the  author, 
as  one  of  his  bcst-qualifiea  editors  has 
pointed  out  {'Works  of  Robert  Burns,'  iii.  85, 
od.  W.  S.  DoufrlftH).  With  this  iiiformatiou 
for  one's  guidance,  there  should  be  no  room 
for  hesitation  about  the  standard  reading  in 
this  particular  case.  It  is  interesting  to 
note  that  Burns  had  previously  used  the 
form  of  superlative  eulogy  whicli  ho  applies 
in  his  glowing  de.scription  of  Mi«s  Lesley 
Baillie.  One  of  his  correspondents  glorified 
in  the  'Presentation  Stanzas'  of  17P9  is 
either  John  Kennotly,  factor  to  the  Earl  of 
Dumfries,  or  John  Macmurdo,  chamberlain 
of  the  Duke  of  Queeosberry  (perhaps  the 
former  for  preference),  and  he  is  apo'^trophiztsl 
in  these  energetic  terms  :—

Rotary  Broxhob  Process.— Students  who 
wish  to  procure  faithful  copies  of  texts, 
written  or  printed  in  languages  not  generally 
known,  like  Arabic,  kc,  where  transcription 
is  costly,  and  impossible  except  by  an  expert, 
white  ordinary  photographs  are  too  clear, 
will  be  glad  to  know  of  this  comparatively 
cheap  process,  which  pro<luces  a  single  copy, 
white  on  black,  made,  without  a  negative, 
direct  in  the  camera.  If  the  type  or  writing 
is  fairly  large  and  the  page  small,  the  size  of 
the  original  can  be  considerably  reduced 
and  cost  saved.  For  facsimile  work  by  the 
autotype  process,  photogravure,  ic,  the 
negative  is,  of  course,  still  indispensable; 
but  if  a  single  copy— a  student's  ci)py— is  all 
that  is  required,  trie  process  will  answer  the 
purpose.  A  description  of  it  was  given  in  a 
recent  number  or  the  ^eniralUad  fa,- 
HHtliotJiekswetai.  and  it  is  now  fully  installed 
at  the  Bibliotheque  Natiouale  in  Paris,  the 
Bodleian  Library,  and  the  British  .Museum. 
I  fliall  be  glad  to  i)ublish  the  names  and 
addresses  of  nliotographors  who  will  under- 
take tlie  worlc  at  the  three  libraries  named, 
if  our  Kditop  will  permit  me  to  do  so.  The 
invention  has  given  a  great  impetus  to  the 


study  of  olil  texts,  as  the  cost  of  oopj 
about  one-fifth  that  of  the  ordinary 
by  means  of  photographic  nogativos.

cation. The  second  reprint  ('Select  Collection 
of  •  Old  Plays,"  ed.  by  .1.  P.  Collier.  1826) 
contains  it,  with  the  following  note  by  the 
editor  : — 

"  This  dedicatiou  by  Chaiimun  to  liia  p&tron  is 
now  for  tlto  first  time  ma<<rt«(l,  the  co|iies  of  'All 
Fooli'  •ecu  Hiid  used  l>y  Mr.  Reed  [i.e.,  the  editor 
of  the  )7iSU  IJudsIey]  lieinK  without  it.  Whether 
it  wa«  iiiaerled  in  u  few  ini|ires!)iooa  in  Kiftj  ajid 
afterwards  cancelled  does  not  appear,  tlioU);h  it 
soema  prnVmbte  that  it  was  so,  because  in  the  dedi- 
cation of  hia  *Byrons  Conspimcy  and  Trapedy,' 
1608,  to  the  same  diatinRuiahed  individual.  Chap- 
man apologiz>;B  for  previous  neglect  and  seeininR 
inxnitilude  to  hia  patron,  'in  disnenaini;  with  his 
right  in  hit  other  improMions.'  It  waa  found  in  n 
I  copy  in  the  poaaeasion  of  ^Ir.  Rodd,  of  Groat 
Newport  .Street." 

I  This  copy  seems  afterwards  to  have  coma 
into  Collier's  own  possession,  for  a  MS.  note 
in  Dyce's  hand  in  the  copy  now  in  the 
Victoria  and  Albert  Museum  says  i— 

"  The  Dedication  to  WalsinKham  ia  foun<l  onlv  in 
a  tingle  copy  of  thit  play  which  belunK^  to  Mr. 
Collier.  He  reprinted  twelve  coiiiea  of  that  Dedi- 
cation, and  one  of  thetu  ia  inserted  here." 

Had  we  no  other  testimony  to  the  authen- 
ticity of  the  dedication  than  Collier's  state- 
ment, we  might  ho  inclined  to  look  upon  it 
as  one  of  the  *' mystificationH "  of  that  in- 
genious scholar.  And  this  view  is  apparently 
supported  by  the  inconsistency  of  Colliers 
own  stAtementa  in  re  the  (kHlication  in  his 
two  editions  of  'The  History  of  Dramatic 
Poetry.'  In  lft31  he  says  (iii.  ."iOS)  Cliaitman's 
dedication  of  his  'All  Fools,'  1 00.%  •' seem* 
to  have  l>oen  cancelled  in  many  copies.''  In 
1870  ho  speaks  of  it  (iii.  74)  as  "a  sonnet 
prefixe<l  to  only  a  few  copies"  ;  but  later 
(iii.  19(1)  he  says  it  "seems  to  have  been 
cancelled  in  all  extant  copies."  This  is  an 
extraordinary  remark  if  he  liad  himself 
possPssp<l  a  l<i'i.">  quarto  containing  an 
undoubted  copy  of  the  dedication. 

It  has  been  suggested  to  me  by  Mr,  T.  J. 
Wise  that  the   sonnet  may   bo    a   genuine 
poem  by   Chapman  wrongly  hound  up  in  a 
copy  of  'AH  Fools,'  with   which  it   had   no 
connexion  (there  is  no  mention  of  the  play 
by    name    in    the   sonnet).     This    could    bo 
determined,  I  suppose,  by  an   investigation 
of   the  Collier  quarts.    Mr.   W.    C.   H' 
informs  me  that  Collier's  copy  did  c

^p  Steward  op  thk  Household.— Wag  this 
po.st  ever  held  by  a  lady  ?  In  W.  }I.  Wilkins'a 
'Mrs.  Pilzherbert  and  George  IV.'  (1905, 
vol.  ii.  p.  l(i(>)it  is  stated  that  ••George  IV. 
created  for  her  [i  e.,  Lady  Conynghamj  tjie 
post  of  I^t'h/  .'^letrtnd.  which  made  her  the 
mistress  of  hi.s  Household.  Lord  C«>nyngham 
became  Lord  Chamljerlain."  Mr,  Denisou  is 
said  to  have  '*  remonstrated  with  his  sister 
for  accepting  the  appointment,  and  [to  have] 
threatened  to  alter  his  will,"  which  looks  as 
if  such  appointment  had  been  a  real  ono. 
Nevertheless,  it  seems  that  Lord  Conyngliam 
was,  It  Dec,  1821,  made  Lonl  Stetfird  (not, 
as  al)ove  stated.  Lord  ChninUrlain)  of  the 
Household,  and  that  ho  apparently  held  that 
office  till  the  King's  deatii,  .so  that  his  wife 
(without    any    formal    apix)intment)    might 

gossibly  have  been  spoken  of  as  the  "  Lady

Bimv  Familv.— In  tlio  Register  of  Burials 
iu  Winchester  Cathedral  is  tlie  following 
entry:  "April  5lh,  1787,  Mrs.  Berry  brought 
from  Bath."  Can  anv  of  yonr  readers  say 
who  this  lady  was]  lam  inclined  to  think 
that  the  name  should  be  Bury,  and  in  the 
I  same  register  it  is  stated  that  "Mrs.  Florence 
I  Bury  was  buried  Nov.  ind.  1801  " ;  and 
"Thoraa*  Bury,  Esq.,  was  buried  Fob.  27th, 
18fi2," 

From  letters  in  my  possession  I  find  that  1, 
Mrs.  or  Mi-iS  Bury  was  residing  at  No.  7.  Th| 
("ircus,  Bath  (previously  the  residence  of  Ml 
Pitt),  in  1703.  and  it  may  |K»ssibly  have  be 
this  lady  who  in  1787  was  brought  fr4nn  Bat 
and  interred  in  Winchester  Catlie<lral.  He

was  a  member  of  the  family  of  Lord  Charle-

Wai.tkk  Crank  can  supplement  tho  infor-

dexirouH  of  tracing  tho  connexions  of  three 
brothors,  Tlioinas,  Samuel,  and  Josrph  Crane, 
all  of  Cbeiter.  Samuel  wa.i  a  bookoellpr  whOa 
in  1775,  commenced  busiiien*  in  Liverpool. 
In  1777  ho  married  a  Mi"*"*  Ulas'i.  In  17W  he, 
in  conjunction  with  hit  brothorM,  Thomaa 
and  Jutcph.  who  were  grociu^  and  niaon- 
facturera  of  ntone  and  Prussian  blue  in 
Cho«ter,  openc<]  a  bank  in  LivL'r]KK>l.  It  waa 
not  a  Hucceaa,  failing  in  17S8.  The  book- 
"••l^intj  business  was  continue*!  by  .Samuel 
■  until  1700.  Hotwcon  tlvat  date  and 
no  Liverpool  directory  wa«*  i'<Hue<l,  and 
'I  tho  latter  year  the  name  of  Crane  has 
iisap(>eared. 

From  the  'D.X.B.'  I  find  that  tho  father  of 
the  Thoman  Crane  who  wat  born  in  iww  was  a 
bookaeller  in  Chester.  Mr.  Walter  Crane's

There  is  evidently  a  sulxiivision  of  mean- 
ing necessary.  Tims  in  Ijondon  t)ie  earliest 
application  I  can  trace  is  Duke* "a  I'lace 
(explanation  of  Ogilby  and  Morgan's  Map 
of  London,  1677,  reprinted  1895;  'The 
London  Directory,"  1G77,  reprinted  1878),  ami 
this  is  in  its  proper  ^ense  of  a  square  or 
ftlace  d'anius  (vuie  'Glossograpliia  An(;li- 
cana  ^fova,•  1707).  By  1783  ('The  New 
Complete  Guide,'  1783)  it  had  been  applied 
to  Savoy  Place,  St.  James's  Place,  ami  Park 
Place;  but  by  1790  ("The  Universal  British 
Directory  ')  there  are  twenty  examples, 
nearly  all  terraces  in  the  suburbs  (KingsfanJ

culs-de-sac  in  the  City  <Ely  Place,  Frederick's 
I'lace,  Old  Jewry).  This,  therefore,  indi- 
cates that  the  word  ha<l  altogether  lost  its 
original  aigtiificance,  atid  becomo  little  more 
than  an  indication  of  a  property  uniform 
in  size  and  architecture,  and  having  a

the  love  letters  being  numbered  cclii.,  and 
immediately  following  the  other.  The  editor's

he  says,  "appears  in  his  '  Poem"*,'  but  ita

Wiy'TmNSTEB  CnAN<:JES  m  1905  (10"'  S.  v. 
221,  2U2).— To  an  old  resident  tlie  notes  by 
Ma.  Hauland-Oxley  are  extrenibly  inter- 
esting, and  I  should  like  to  add  a  few  words 
witli  reference  to  the  little  court  and  cottage 
in  North  Street. 

Mr.  T.  Fairman- Ordish  contributed  an 
article  lo  Cnnihid,  February,  1904,  but  he 
too  ^ives  no  information  why  the  little  court 
has  always  been  known,  and  in  atill  ulhided 
to,  as  Noah's  Ark.  Old  inhabitants  of  the 
neighbourhoo<l  will  confirm  my  as<ierti<m,  and 
1  have  a  distinct  recollection  of  Mr.  IJarnes, 
the  pantaloon,  alluding  to  his  studio  by  thai 
name.  Jt  is  not  generally  known  that  ho  was 
a  clever  photographer.  I  have  some  of  his 
work  by  ma  at  this  moment.  And  in  con- 
firmation of  this,  strange  to  say,  aft«?r  so 
many  years.  Ids  name  and  profession  a*  plioto 
grapher  may  still  be  made  out,  in  black 
paint,  on  tite  shabby  old  wooden  facia  above 
the  iron  gateway. 

It  rnny  not  Iw  generally  known  that  in 
Bcnlhi/'g  Miscelhmy,  vol.  \ii.  p.  4ri7,  will  be 
found  an  amusing  account  of  a  continental 
tour,  'Journal  of  Old  Barnes,  the  Pantaloon,' 
in  1830.  Tiiere  is  a  woodiuit  portrait  in 
character— "  Here  I  am.'  I  knew  him  well  ; 
he  was  A  charujing  old  fellow  of  the  old 
school. 


Within  the  cottage  at  the  end  of  the  colj 
will  be  found,  in   the  second  room   on 
right  of  the  entrance,  a  ceiling  which

iW'  S.  iv.  447;  V.  273).-I  had  no  intention 
of  doubting  t!ie  existence  of  William  Iloss 
Wallace,  but  merely  fancied  that  pvrlmps  his 
name  had  been  oonfusefl  with  that  of  William 
Stewart  lions,  the  author  of  one  of  tho  poems 
I  referred  to.  I  take  it  that  M.  C.  L.  claims 
for  W.  U  Wallace  the  authorship  of  ^t  poem 
having  for  its  subject  or  refrain  tlie  above- 
named  phrase— a  poem  which  was  vu-iHrit 
earlier  than  either  of  the  poems  of  which  I 
have  given  the  dales  of  publication.  Good  ; 
but  it  is  very  desirable  that  tho  date  of 
publication  of  W.  11,  Wallace's  poem  (if  it 
W'M  publishe<i ;  but  of  this  I  myself  have  no 
knowle<lge)  ».hould  be  furnished".  We  should 
then   have  documentary  evidence,  and   the

Whiltaker.  (Sonncnschein  k  C". ) 
Ik  those  six  essays  on  speculative  philosophy  in 
mlalinn  to  the  claims  of  revealed  religion  Mr. 
Whittaker  gives  evidence  of  learning  and  ability. 
The  first  three,  bearing  on  the  more  L-oiicrete  and 
historical  R*|»e<.'t«  of  the  siiiiject.  are  of  mr>8t 
interest.  Tlui  skeli^h  of  Uiitt  somewhat  enigmatical 
iiersonage,  Ajiollonins  of  Tyana,  a  curious  rrnss 
I>etw-een  a  clairvoyant  charlatan  and  a  Neo- 
Pythagurean  ascetic,  whom  lUtir  nmde  good  us<>  uf 
in  his  assault  on  the  {iospeU,  i.s  well  done,  and 
deserves  to  stand  first  in  the  Ituok.  It  was  also 
well  worth  while  to  make  a  digest  of  the  rather 
longdrawn  argument  between  (Jrigen  and  Celsus, 
which  is  not  always  easy  to  follow.  The  author,  it 
should  be  aaid,  is  franlily  a  sceptic,  and  does  not 
disguise  llie  fact  thai  his  »ympathie8  are  witli  the 
opiHinent  rather  than  with  the  defender  of 
Chrisltaiiity.  lie  is  resolved,  with  Johnsonian 
zeal,  that  the  orthodox  don  shall  not  i;»<t  the  beat 
of  the  argument,  nnd  in  the  result  of  liis  analysis 
the  heretic  remains  master  of  tlio  tield.  He  makes, 
however,  a  legitimate  use  of  the  fact  that  vte  only 
have  Celum'b  views  as  reported  by  his  adversaries. 

The  other  essays  consist  for  the  most  part  of 
highly  teolinical  and  schematic  disciiiistons  of 
obscure  problema  in  transcendental  inelaphy«ics, 
where  lucidity  is  much  to  be  desiderated— prrhiips 
>^  *,*?  '"^'^  r>o8«ible.  The  misprint  of  "  would  "  for 
♦TOiYd  at  the  foot  of  p,  63  makes  nonsense  of  tlie 
pusage  where  it  occurs.

M  tho  name  of  a  Teutonic  folk,  the  Sicarobri 
—a  term  that  appears  in  Welsh  in  Aberaeia 
(cf.  Lochaber  ana  Fochabers). 

I  may  add  that  the  Welsh  phrase  corr»- 
sponding  to  '*  Knglish  and  Welsh  "  is  Ci/nuy 
a  SaetoH,  while  that  correnponding  to  "Eng- 
land and  Wales  "  is  t'l/mru  a  Llftfjt;  |  have 
no  idea  what  tho  wor<l   ' '  nally  moann  ; 

but  ono  of  tho  most  trado-routea 

between  Italy  and  im.  lukiiiIi  Channel, 
across  France,  in  ancient  timeti.  was  along 
tho  valley  of  the  Loire,  the  old  namo  of 
which— Liger  or  Ligeris,  probably  moan:i  tho 
river  of  the  Ligurians. 

Now  I  venture  to  submit  that  the  srord 
Cymru  is  much  more  likely  to  have  comn 
into  being  in  a  s)>eoial  «ense  (if  a  vtwcial 
sense  is  insistet]  on;,  in  a  hill  country  full  of 
glens,  and  peopled  bv  tribes  hostile  to,  or 
contemptuous  of,  each  other,  who  used  the

spicuous difference  of  pros.  .  I,  in  tho 

way  suggested  by  /ncntic,  tluin  to  have 
.sprung  from  C'/ni'jfox,  whono  existence  ia

NOTESrAKD  QUE^l 


I  day  I  has  become  Kimroeridge.  Thus  both 
In  "Little  England  beyond  Wales''  and  to 
Dor»et4iliire  the  Celtic  o  (;/)  has  been  modified 
lu  the  Mitne  wav,  and  from  the  same  caase, 
natuely,  EugliBh  inllueuoe. 

A  Hiiuilar  iiiiluence  {i.e.,  Teatonic)  will 
account  for  the  fir^t  t  io  Cinibri,  which  I  see 
no  necensity  to  look  on  as  "  Indo-European  i  " 
at  all,  but  simply  the  (Jeltic  o  {>/)  modified. 

Plutarch  says  that  the  Germaoii  called 
robbers  Cimbri,  while  Featus  says  that  it 
was  in  the  Gaulish  tongue  the  term  was  so 
eaployed.  What  I  have  mentioned  about 
the  uses  of  ci/mvietyd  and  cifiuri/d  will,  I 
hope,  satisfactorily  explain  the  di-tcrenancy, 
•nd  saggest  that  poor  Taffy  was  libelled  by 
the  Teuton  long  before  he  began  to  vex  the 
Welsh  Marches. 

Before  leaving  the  philological  Question  I 
would  just  add  that  "Cumra's  'for  Welshmen 
ia  given  by  Handle  Holme  (1688  ;  see  'X.E.D.' 

■  under  *Cvmric'  for  the  quotation),  and  that 
*'L'vrare8, '  accented  on  the  first  syllable,  is 
B.W.  dialect  for  Welshwoman. 

In  his  fifth  Rhiud  Lecture  ('  The  Spread  of 
Gaelic  in  Scotland,*  /Scottish  Hex'.,  xvii.  339, 
April,  18D1)  I'rof.  llhya  points  out  the  import 
of  the  name  Strath  Earn  as  evidence  of  the 

gresence  of   Ulidian   PicU  in  that  district. 
ut  it  was  not  the  business  of  the  learned 
professor  at  the  moment  to  infer  the  presence 
of  Goidels   there  also,  otherwise  he  might 
have  drawn  attention  to  Comrie,  absolutely 
identical    in  sound,   and    practically  so   ia 
spelling,  with  the  name  of  his  native  country. 
In  an  interesting  little  work  on  the  'Antiqui- 
ties of  Strathearu,'  by  John  Shearer,  jun. 
(Crieff,  .Sfrnfhearn  Herald  office,  1883,  third 
ed.),  I  find  :— 

"  Ttie  Earn,  od    iaeiiinK    from    the    loch,  flows 
easterly,  in  a  very  irreKular  direction,  with  many 
links  and  windings  in  its  coune  Ihrouch  Stralhearn, 
untit  it  roaches  the  Tay,  a  few  miles  below  Terth. 
......The  tract  of  country  which  this  ri  ver  intersecte 

comprohends  a  space  of  about  thirty  miles ;  but 
the  real  length  of  the  stream  is  much  greater,  as  it 
deacribea  innumerable  and  very  beautiful  wind- 
ings  It  is  increased  every  mile  it  advanccB  in  il« 

I  course  by  the  additions  of  nvulota  and  streams,  the 
«hief  of  which  are  the  watcra  of  Ruchil,  Lednock, 
Turret,  Machney,  Ruthven,  Dunninp,  and  May 
The  parish  of  Comrie  consists  of  ihb  upper  part  of 
tlt«  valley  of  the  £arn,  and  four  contiguous  glona. 
^....The  parish  town  of  Comrie  is  pleasantly 
vituated  on  the  north  bank  of  the  Kara,  where  it  is

confluence  of  the  lorrenla.    These  are  the  Earn  and 


the  Kuohil,  whose  streams  join  a  few  yards  west- 
"^ard  of  the  church." 


Curiously  enough,  if  tliis  little  book  is  to  be

is  an  intereiting  note  on  this  name  in

He  showH  that  it  is  very  old,  a«  it  occurs  in 
Greek  papyri  as  ~a/(//at.  I  see  no  reaaon 
why  our  Samlio  should  not  come  from  this 
Samba.  IVof.  Keane,  in  his  *  Central  and 
South  America,'  UHil.  ii.  23<;,  suggests  another 
explanation.  Acconiing  Ui  him,  Sambo  was 
applied  to  slaves  "  possibly  because  they 
wen^  shipped  at  the  island  of  Sambas,  on  the 
coast  of  Senegambia."  It  seems  to  roe  more 
likely  that  the  island  was  named  from  the 
tral!ic.  In  any  case  it  appears  that  "  Sambo," 
is  closely  connected  with  the  Senegal  tribes*

On  taming  to  Tanner  we  are  referred  to

The  history  of  the  "  XII.  Men  "  is  in  EnR-

of  the  Cornish  reliels  is  also  in  English. 
Ijecause  the  word  "against"  is  rendered 
adversus  \a  one  instance,  and  contra  in  the 
other.  Mr.  Barwick,  of  the  British  Museum, 
and  Mr.  Courtney,  Boaae's  collalxirator,  are 
inclined  to  think  that  thia  book  was  not 
printed,  but  remained  in  MS. 

Any  information  likely  to  aid  in  tracing 
the  book  wouki  be  most  acceptable,  as  almost 
all  ordinary  aources,  and  some  extraordinary 
ones,  have  been  aearched  in  vain.  A  reply

Essex  eatate  before  mentioned,  now  possessed  by 
his  son.  Richard  Knightley,  which  he  enjoyed  tiU 
he  came  to  Fawsley  in  the  year  17t?6.  He  was  a 
nian  of  a  goodly  penoaage,  and  of  a  genleeL 
aenerouB  spirit,  ao  that  it  was  expected  he  would 
nave  been  a  grace  to  the  eatate  when  he  came  to  it ; 
but  it  was  too  late.  He  was  then  sixtv-ei^ht  years 
old,  and  having  gone  through  some  little  diflicultiea 
and  disappointmenta  in  his  fortune,  which  a  {lerson 
of  his  generosity  of  temper  could  not  bear,  he 
became  low  aoa  dejected  in  his  spirits,  so  that 
when  he  came  to  an  affluence,  he  lived  nob  (piite 
two  yeara,  and  enjoyed  it  not  at  all,  dving  July  9, 
1738,  a«d  was  buried  in  the  chancel  at  Fawsley,  at 
the  east  end  of  which  a  very  handsome  monnroent 
waa  erected  for  him  by  his  son  and  successor,  Luoy 
Kni((htley,  Esq.,  thus  inscribed:  '  Near  this  place 
lies  interre<l  Richard  Knightley,  of  Fawsley,  Esq., 
who  married  Elizabeth  Waldron.  daughter  of  Henry 
U'aMron,  Esq.,  Judge  of  the  Island  of  Barbadoes, 

by  whom  he  hud  a  numerous  issue Lucy  Knight- 

loy.  his  eldest  son  (who  is  now  possessor  of^ Fawsley, 
and  at  whoxe  charge  these  monuments  were  erected), 
Richard,  Kli/abeth.  Deborah,  are  now  living.  Ail

Upton,  by  whom  he  had  no  issue.  He  departed 
this  life  i>  day  of  July  in  the  year  of  our  Lorci  1728.' 
This  monument  is  of  beautiful  variegated  marble, 
adorned  at  the  bottom  with  various  ensigns  of  war. 
At  the  top  are  the  arms  of  Knightley,  empaling,

"Place"  (lO***  S.  v.  267,  31 G,  333,  353).— 
By  1766  London  seomn  to  have  increaaed  its 
numVjer  of  "Places"  to  eight.  I  find  in 
Maitland'H  '  Hintory  of  London  '  of  that  year 
four  otliorB  named,  in  addition  to  tno«a 
monlioned  by  Coi^  Pjudbaux.  They  are : 
Bailey's  Place,  Little  Tower  Hill ;  Deadman's 
Place,  Southwark  j  Savoy  Place,  in  the 
Strand  ;  and  Worcester  Place,  Thames  Street. 
Deadman's  Place,  Southwark  is,  I  find  in 
Elmes's  'Topographical  Dictionary  of  Lon- 
don,' 1831,  describeti  as  ''the  second  turning 
on  the  left  hand  in  Park  Street,  going  from 
the  Borough  market." 

Lord  Shekborne  will  be  interested  to  know 
that  in  tlie  middle  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury there  were  several  "  Places  "  in  Kent, 
some  of  them  of  great  antiquity.  In  Phil- 
pot's  '  Villare  Cantianum,'  1659,  I  note  the 
following :  Brown's  Place  ;  Bore  Place  :  Crow 
Place  :  Home's,  or  Horn,  Place  ;  Place  House; 
Haufs  Place;  Hextall  Place;  Hall  Place; 
Koe's  Place  ;  and  Town  Place. 

The  original  name  of  "Brown's  Plaoe," 
Uorton  Kirby,  appears  to  have  beiBD  "Bey- 
nolds  "  ;  but  it  took  its  later  name  from  Joho 
Brown,  who  was  Sheriff  of  Kent  in  1667-8. 

"Crow  Place"  was  originally  known  u 


*•  Stockela,''  but  iti  Inter  name  was  derived 
from  the  Crows  of  Norfolk,  who  from  the 
reigD  of  Richard  II.  "held  it  in  a  coulinawl 
Track  of  Succession  "  until  it  was  sold  to 
Sir  Robert  Healh,  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  the

that  office  by  a  vote  of  Parliament  in  1645. 

*'  Home's  Place "  was  so  c&lled  after  a 
family  of  that  name  who  owned  the  estate 
from  1^77  to  1570,  the  last  of  the  name  beine 
Aune  Home,  married  to  Benedict  Guldfonf, 
Esq.,  who  fell  under  the  displeaiiore  of  (^ueen 
Elizabeth,  who,  on  account  of  his  Popish 
opinions,    confiscated    his    estate    ander    a 

grtemunire,  and  granted  it  to  "  her  faithfuU 
ervant,  George  Chowt,  Esqre." 

"Haut's  Place"  was  possessed  by  Henry 
de  Hauts  in  1370,  and  continued  for  many 
generations  in  the  same  family. 

Maud  Hextall,of  "  HexUll  Place."  married 
Henry  Ferrers,  who  was  Sheriff  of  Kent  in 
1469 

"Hall  Place"  was  in  the  possession  of  a 
family  called  Athall,  the  last  owner  of  that 
name  being  Thomas  Athall,  who  in  13G7 
conveyed  tne  estate  to  Thomas  Shelley,  of 
Westerham. 

"Roe's  Place''  was  named  after  a  family 
of  that  name,  one  member  of  which,  Sir 
William  Rowe,  was  Lord  I^tayor  of  London 
in  1692. 

Thomas  At  Town  erected  the  seat  called  by 
him  "Town  Place,"  apparently  about  the 
middle  of  the  fourteenth  century.

Several  examples  of  the  early  use  of  this 
word  in  London,  in  the  sense  indicated  by 
CoL.  PniDGAUX,  are  traceable  in  the  national 
records.  Northumberland  House,  or  Place, 
in  St.  Martin's-le  Grand,  the  mediseval  town 
mansion  of  the  PerciOT,  is  a  case  in  point. 
This  house  was  standing  as  early  as  1377, 
certainly,  though  when  it  was  first  styled 
*'  Place '  is  unoertain.  The  earliest  mention 
of  it  thus  that  I  have  been  able  to  discover 
occurs  in  a  Court  of  Augmentations'  petition 
(Bdl.  20,  No.  51),  temp.  Edward  VL,  in 
which  it  is  named  as  "one  greate  howse 
lyinge  withe  in  Aldrytche  gate  withe  in  tlie

"These  letters  are  oallud  Voetles,  in  pronouncuie 
of  which  by  the  instrumonU  of  speech,  the  breath 
is  freely  emitted." 

The  breath  of  life  frtdy  emitted  and 
yielded  up  at  death  is  prayer.  "  Prayer  is 
the  Christian's  vita!  breath."  AEIOU  are 
an  invocation. 

The  following  citation  from  El  worthy's 
*The  Evil  Eye,'  London,  1895,  p.  441,  throws 
light  on  the  question  :— 

"  It  wu  an  ancient  belief  that  each  of  the  voweU 
of  the  alphabet  rejireaonled  the  sound  uttered  in 
its  revolution  by  one  particular  planet ;  these  all 
combined  form  one  eternal  harmony  to  the  glory  of 
the  Great  Creator  of  the  Universe.  Thie  ia  the 
meaning  of  tho  lines  in  Addison's  well  -  known 
liymn  :— 

For  ever  singing  as  they  shine 
The  hand  that  made  us  is  divine. 
Another  Interpretation  of  the  seveu  vowels  is  that

HHecoanta  of  the  old  custom  of  "Going

•lilies  for  the  CuriouM,'  1H24,  and  'Hone's 
Every-Dav  Book/  1827,  as  mentioning  this 
custom.  It  appears  to  have  l>een  observed  at 
HatnsgaU?,  Minster,  and  all  the  villages  of  the 
Isle  of  ThanoL  as  well  aa  at  Deal  and  some 
places  along  the  cast  coast  of  Kent.  The 
custom  waj«  discontinued  about  1840,  in  con- 
aaqueuce  of  a  woman  at  Droa^lstairs  being  so 
■cared  by  it  that  her  death  resulted.  One 
riter,  referring  tu  the  hand-bells  that  were 
tisori  in  the*io  grotesque  processions,  statea 
ibat  there  were  still  familiea  in  Ramsgate  who 
were  clever  hand  belt  ringers.

The  Hark  and  E.\steu  (lO""  S.  iv.  .306; 
V.  2D:J).— Mr.  Holpen  MacMichael  speaks 
of  the  German  custom  of  hiding  the  Easter 
eggs  in  a  sort  of  nest  for  the  children  to 
find.  But  some  twelve  years  ago,  when  we 
hid  the  eggs  on  Easter  morning  in  South 
Germany  (the  children  being  meanwhile 
!locke<i  up  in  the  schoolroom,  so  that  they 
might  not  watch  us),  we  were  tnld  to  place 
the  eggs  always  in  some  prickly  place— in  a 
patch  of  nettles,  or  among  thorns  or  holly — 
HO  that  the  children  might  run  the  chance  of 
being  stung  or  scratched  in  picking  them 
out.  Later  in  the  day  some  one  suggested 
that  this  might  be  a  relic  of  the  Prometheus 
myth — the  egg,  the  life-principle,  having  to 
be  snatched  from  a  prickly  or  burning  place. 
And  the  same  day  we  chanced  to  find, 
among  the  children's  books,  a  Japanese  fairy 
tale,  in  which  was  a  picture  of  a  hare  guarcT 
ing  two  egg8 :  in  the  background  was  a 
flaming  volcano.  To  us  it  seemed  there

Ropes  psbp  at  Exkcctions  (10"'  8.  v.  266, 
316).— In  February,  1886,  three  men  (Budge, 
Martin,  and  Baker)  were  hanged  at  Carlisle 
for  murder,  newspapers  stating  that  "  Berry, 
of  Bradford,  was  the  executioner,  and 
Charles  Maldon  ofliciated  as  his  assistant." 
It  soon  transpired  that  "Charles  Maldon" 
was  the  sobriquet  of  a  distinguished  amateur; 
see  paragraph  in  The  Titius  of  20  Februaryt 
1886.  I  nave  seen  a  bracelet  composed  of  a 
portion  of  the  hanging  rope  used  on  the 
above  occasion,  with  gold  mount  inscribed 
to  that  effect,  and  indicating  the  article  aa  a 
gift  from  the  individual  who  "  assisted  "  at 
the  last  penalty  of  the  law.  W,  B.  U. 

Cheynb  Walk  :  Cbima  Wai.k  (lO"*  S.  v. 
240,  312).— The  terrace  of  houses  by  the 
river-side  at  Chelsea  known  as  Cheyne  Walk 
was  so  named,  not  from  the  china  manu- 
factory for  which  Chelsea  was  famous,  but 
after  the  Lord  of  the  manor  of  Chelsea, 
Charles,  Lord  Cheyne.  The  family  «'  "»o 
Cheyneys,  or  de  Casineto.  or  t^uercineio, 
signifying  the  oak,  from  its  almtiilance  near 
their  ancient  residence,  says  Faulkner,  nave

"The  Sophy"  (10""  S.  v.  3tW,  354).— Sully 
(memoirs)  calls  the  ruler  of  Persia  by  this 
title,  and  describes  war  and  uet^otiations 
between  the  "  Grand  Turc  "  and  "  son  ennemy 
le  Sophy,"  who  had  sent  "vers  le  I'ape, 
I'Empereur,  et  le  Roy  d  Espagne  pour  Her 
amitie  auec  eux  et  les  requerir  d'assistance." 
"Le  grand  Seigneur"  therefore  sent  a 
counter  embassy  to  Henri  IV.,  held  by  him 
to  be  "  le  plus  estime  Koy  de  la  Creance  de 
Jesus."  D. 

Abbey  or  Priory  (lO**"  S.  v.  327).  —  My 
note  seems  incomplete.  I  should  like  to  add 
that  the  street  which  runs  by  the  Worksop 
Priory  Church  is  Prior's  Road,  and  the  old 
mill  near  is  the  Priory  Mill.  At  some  dis- 
tance from  the  church,  in  the  middle  of  the 
road,  is  the  Prior's  Well — now  covered  in — 
to  which  in  the  old  days  people  from  near 
and  far  used  to  re-sort,  ana  drink  the  water 
^for  pleasure  and  health's  sake.  Yet,  with 
'  theae  old  name.?  before  them,  the  church  was 
*'  t'  owd  Abbey  Church  "  ;  the  fine  Priory 
Gatehouse  close  by  was  "  t'  owd  Abbey 
Gateway."  The  ruins  of  St.  Mary's  Cha|jel, 
on  the  south  side  of  the  church,  went  by  the 
name  of  "  t' owd  Abbey  ruins."  The  his- 
torians of  Worksop— John  Holland.  1826 ; 
Edwin  Eddison,  1854,  and  Robert  While, 
187.'j  and  1D05— all  write  of  it  as  a  Priory, 
though  Eddison  often  relapses  into  the  error, 
very  common  in  his  time,  of  calling  it  an 
"abbey."  Tii08.  Uatcuffr.

which  flics  at  everything  and  everybody,  ond  will

MONTAIGNE.  WEBSTER,  AND  MARSTON: 

DR.  DONNE  AND  WEliSTKR. 

(See  lO"-  S.  iv.  41,  121,  201,  302;  v.  301.) 

Montaigne  saya  :  — 

Tu  forbid  118  nitythiiig  ia  the  reitdy  way  to  make 
ua  long  for  il.— Book  ii.  chap.  xv.  p.  315,  col.  1,

and  axainsl  the  condition  of  violence  to  beconalaut. 
—Book  iii.  chap.  v.  p.  451,  col.  1. 

Thu-s  in  Marston  ; — 

Pfiilocalia.  But,  dear  inadam,  your  reason  of 
loving  him  ? 

Ditkinul.  Faith,  only  a  woman's  reason,  because 
I  was  expressly  forbidden  to  love  hint...... 

Phi.  But,  when  you  saw  no  nioaos  of  inanifealiu); 
your  affectiou  to  liiin,  why  did  not  your  hopes 
Iterish  ? 

Did-  O  Philocalia !  that  difficulty  only  enflanies 
nie:  when  the  enterprise  is  easy,  the  victory  is 
infrlorioiiB 

Phi.  O  love,  how  violent  are  thy  passages  ! 

DiU.  I'ish,  Philocalia  !  'tis  against  the  nature  of 
love  not  to  be  violenL 

Phi.  And  Against  (lie  condition  of  violence  to  be 
constant.—'  The  Fawn.'  III.  i.  242-73. 

The  .source  of  Oonzago's  saying  re  lies,  in 
III.  i.  420-23.  ia  dealt  «rith  at  10'"  S.  iv.  122-3- 

As  I  sliall  be  dealing  presently  witli  the 
passage  in  Montaigne  that  ib  supposed  to 
have  Been  copied  from  Marston  by  Webster, 
I  will  anticipate  matters  here  by  showing 
farther  re.semblances  between  *Tiio  While 
Devil '  and  the  '  Essays.' 

Marston  may  or  may  not  have  gob  a  hint 
from  Montaigne  for  a  saying  in  the  following 
speech  : — 

Hcrcidf.    Your  father,   I   may  boldly  say,  he's 

an  asa 
To  hope  that  you  '11  forbear  to  swallow 
What  he  cannot  chew  :  hi. 

'  The  Fawn,'  IlL  i.  512-14. 

Rut  there  can  be  no  manner  of  doubt  about 
the  origin  of  tlie  same  or  a  ainiilar  saying  in 
Webster,  who,  like  Montaigne,  uses  it  in 
relation  to  the  question  of  self- slaughter. 
Montaigne  iiot^-s  instances  of  men  who  have 
jtttempted,  but  failed,  to  kill  themselves  out- 
rigltt,  courage  having  deserted  them  in  their 
extremity.  The  smarting  wounds  they  in- 
flicted upon  themselves  served  but  to  intoiiHify 
the  anguiiili  of  mind  they  already  sufl'eroJ, 
thus  adding  to  their  torment-s.  To  kill  one 
self  with  a  sword  requires  a  steatly  hand 
and  an  unfaltering  purpose  ;  at  the  moment 


of  execution  there  is  no  time  to  oonvii 
and  blood  ;  the  mortal  instrument 

is  a  nieat^  a  maa  nutst  sM-allow  without

The  previous  speech  by  Vittoriji  Core 
elicitM  a  reply  from  Flamineo  which  Aij 
clo»e  imitation  of  Montaigne  : —

At   may   bo  imagined,   this  is    a  class  of 
k  that  does  not  lend  itself  to  quotation  ; 
but  the  reference  to  Dante  in  the  following 
I  i--:i,'o  is  very  interesting  (p.  245):—

;ara." 

If  tliey  know  Ileuskara,  they  ought  to  have 
put  A'ufhehtn,  and  to  have  either  omitted 
the  solitary  comma,  or  punctuated  the  words 
throughout.  /iertm  may  possibly  moan

tt/iri/ti:  should  be  effifiak,  and  (niAerako  should 
be  f/fitierafeo.  It  the  engraver  had  any  difii- 
culty  in  cutting  the  tilde  over  the  iV,  tlve 
omission  would  not  be  without  precedent. 
The  »  in  those  words,  moreover,  is  single  in 
some  <lialects.  The  n  of  Caslilian  was  once 
nn,  and  in  Catalan  is  written  tn/.  On  p.  23*2

Queen  Victoria  and  the  Nobility  of  England.  The 
brocession  pasted  down  Fulton  Sijtreet,  preceded 
by  tho  city  braas  baud.  The  (.ieiieral  was  in  an 
open  barouche,  and  bowed  very  gracefully  to  the 
tnousands  of  ladies  who  tilled  tlio  windown  on  each 
side  of  tho  street,  and  who  teatilied  their  delight  at 
■eeinK  him  by  the  waving  of  thousands  of  whit«

shire was  black  with  the  multitude  galheeed  to 
witness  the  departure  of  the  aniallest  man  and  the 
finest  ship  that  lh«  world  ever  produced.  Our 
little  countryman  will  astonish  the  citlseus  of  tlie

The  General  probably  arrived  in  England 
«oine  time  iu  February,  1844.  He  paid  his 
first  visit  to  Buckingham  I'alace,  where  he 
waa  received  by  Her  Maje.sty,  Prince  Albert, 
the  DuchesJi  of  Kent,  and  the  royal  house- 
hold, on  Saturday,  23  March.  He  pleased 
his  royal  hosts  so  much  that  a  »econd  visit 
was  paid  on  Monday,  I  April,  antl  a  third  on 
Friday.  19  April.  He  received  beautiful 
souvenirs  of  these  visits  from  the  Queen. 
On  2G  April,  1844,  he  was  visited  at  the 
Egyptian  Hall  by  the  boys  of  the  Duke  of 
York's  School  at  Chelsea ;  and  on  22  iune 
the  boys  of  the  Koyal  Hospital  School  at 
Oreenwich  also  honoured  him  with  a  visit. 
His  carriage  was  manufactured  by  Mr.  S.

•Leicester's  Onosx.'— I  hIiouUI  be  glad  of 
any  information  regarding  the  poem  entitled 
'Leicester's  Ghost,' published  in  1641.  What 
ia  the  purport  of  it  i  and  ia  it  still  in  print 
and  procurable  1  H.  H.  S. 

[It  IK  a  versified  legend  of '  Leicester's Comnion-

poisoner  and  debauchee.] 

"Saturday"  in  Spanish.— It  appears  that 
the  Spanish  name  for  Saturday  ia  ISabado 
(Sabbath).  This  would  seem  to  connect  it 
with  the  Jews.  I  should  like  to  know  when, 
and  under  what  circuinstancej»,  Jewish 
inOuence  in  Spain  was  powerful  enough  to 
give  such  a  name  to  one  of  the  days  of  the 
week.  H.  W— H. 

[Jewish  influence  in  Spain  was  at  an  early  perio<] 
very  powerful  and  assertive.]

undoubte<lly  of  Celtic  origin,  meaning  grey. 

With  regard  to  "  badger,"  winch  has  super- 
seded it,  whereas  Prof.  Skoat  still  seems  to 
think  that,  like  the  French  Llaircau,  it  i^s 
connected  with  corn,  which  ths  animal  ia 
thought  to  hoard.  Dr.  Murray  prefers  to 
derive  it  from  (xui'ie,  owing  to  a  white  mark 
resembling  a  badge  on  the  creature's  fore- 
head. Who  shall  decide  when  doctors  dis-

buihiing  was  erected  to  protect  it  from  the 
weather  when  it  was  first  placed  over  the

Waterloo  Veteran  (10"'  S.  iv.  347,  391, 
493).— John  BUcey,  mentioned  at  the  last 
reference,  was  an  old  soldier  in  a  double 
sense  :  he  was  not  at  Waterloo,  uor  was  he 
ninety-six  in  1894.  His  slatemonts  Lave 
been  several  times  refute<l. 

In  1890  he  turned  up  at  Nntlinghain 
Workhouse,  and  the  guardians,  accepting 
his  story  that  he  waa  a  Waterloo  veteran 
and  age<I  ninety-nine,  ordoreil  him  special 
privileges.  A  neigiil>ouring  gentleman  sent 
a  carriage  and  pair,  and  had  him  con- 
veyed to  one  of  his  almshoUHCs,  where  he 
made  every  arrangement  for  the  old  man's 
comfort.  Meanwhile  the  clerk  to  the 
guartlians  had  been  in  communication  with 
the  War  OHice,  with  the  result  that  the 
man's  impudent  imposture  was  exposed.  It 
is  only  necessary  to  say  tiiat  he  joined  the 
14th  Light  Dragoons  in  1830.  giving  his  age 
as  nineteen,  which  would  make  1820  tlieyear 
of  ids  birth.  This  is  quit«  sullicient  to 
destroy  any  claim  to  the  title  of  Waterloo 
veteran  ;  it  is  therefore  unnecensary  to  go 
through  the  other  points  in  his  story,  which

I  have  alwaya  understood  tliat  Louis 
Philippe  fled  from  France  on  28  February, 
1848,  landed  at  Newhaven,  Sussex,  and  spent 
the  night  at  the  chief  inn— now  the  "Ship" 
Hotel— of  that  town.  The  fact  is,  I  think, 
recorded  ujjon  the  front  of  the  Iiouho  named, 
or,  in  aoroe  fashion,  within.  I  am  confident 
aa  to  the  date  of  arrival,  for  it  happens  to 
have  been  upon  my  natal  day,  and  the  cir- 
cumatanco  of  the  notable  flight  wliicli 
occurred  thereon  has  been  impressed  upon 
me  from  childhood.  Ckcil  Clarkb. 

A  full  account  of  the  King's  flight  from 
France  and  his  landing  at  Newhaven,  his 
conversation,  costume,  itc,  is  given  in  'The 
Annual  Uegiater,  1848,'  'History,'  p.  236.  No

I'Pour"  (W^  S,   v.   261,  329).-I  do  not 

think   the  pronunciation  of  jwitr  makes   a 

derivation  from  F.  purer  impossible.    Vowels 

before  r  are  dlftieulfc  to  di-icriminate.  and  do 

not  always  develope  as  tliej'  should.     Thus 

iJtoor  and  mooy  now  (I  believe)  differ,  though 

'in  both  cases  -oor  represents  A.-S.   or.     And 

Ijloor  and  door  may  be  rimed  together,  though 

the  A.-S.  forms  are  ^fiOr  and   diiry.     As  to 

deriving   E.   scour  from   Dan.  sfcure,  Jessen 

says    that    Dan.    shire  is  merely   borrowed 

from    Low    German  ;    and     Kluge    derives

It  is  a  pamphlet  con<iisting  of  two  octavo 
sheets,  with  31  numbered  pages  and  a  page 
of  advertisements,  and  contained  in  green 
paper  wrappers,  with  no  lettering. 

The  contents  are  a  moro  reprint  of   the 

Eooms  in  R.  Bentley's  'Deaigns  forSi.x  Poems 
y  Mr.  T.  Grav,'  175.3  ;  but  it  affords  another 
instance  of  the  republication  of  *A  Long 
titory  '  in  Gray's  lifetime. 

Mr.  Gosse  lian  also  informed  rae  of  the 
existence  of  a  Cork  etlition  of  1768  with  the 
following  dedication  ;  — 

"To  I  Mrs.  rOli/aboth  Gray.  I  As  a  Chief  Promoter

The  title  says  : — 

"This  Collection  contain*  alt  the  Author's 
FoeticftI  Works.  Ainoni}  which  lire  three  never

ind    curiouH    Tarot    pack,     which    lie    I 
IJecently  acquired.     In  cataloKuea  and  oil 
Jworks  on  cards  I  can  fiml  mention  of  only  I 
lllio    U'^ual    and    well-known    Tarot    «ct   of| 

JH  cardi,  viz..  four  (suits  of  14  cardn  each  and  i

F^  carda,  viz.,  four  suits  of  14  ;  STi  numbered 
[extras,    including  Adam  and   Eve    (in   llie 
[costume  of  tlie  period).  tl>e  devil,  a  criftnle, 

ihe  four  Mngi,  twelve  signs  of  the  zodiac,  etc. ; 

and   finally    tho  five   planets,   uunuml>ered. 

I    .shall    be    glad    of    any    information,   or 

reference   to  any    book    describing   such   a 

pack.  Jas.  Pl.^tt,  Jun. 

Black  Box  and  tub  Mayor  ok  Boi>mix. 
— In  Boase'a  '  Bibliotheca  Coruubiensis,'  on 
p.  934,  occurs  this  entry  :— 

'  lioriniin.    A  full  relation  of  the  content*  of  lb« 
Bk  box,  with  aoiii>  aricable  occurrence 

itidK  to  (he  Corn  n,  execution  of  the 

layer  of  Bodiniu.    1.  -.. 

I  have  been  unable  t)  find  any  trace  of  this 
book.  I  thought  I  had  got  it  in  the  'Somers 
Tracts'  (vol-  viii.  p.  IftT),  where  is  given  "A 
Letter  to  a  Terson  of  Honour  concerning  the 
Black  Box.  16S0."  Thi^  Black  Box  proved 
to  l>e  the  one  siippo»ed  to  contain  evidence  of 
the  legitimacy  of  th'?  Duke  of  Monmouth. 

It  seems  to  me  pigsihle  that  tlie 'Bodmin 
Book,'  if  I  may  so  style  it,  may  consist  of  a 
tract  on  the  sime  subject  with  the  "other 
remarkable  occurrences  relating  to  the 
Corni.sh  rebellion "  bound  up  with  it.  but 
having  no  connexion  therewith.  Tliese 
"occurrences"  may  have  been  taken  from 
Holiushed.  But  this  is  only  conjecture.  If 
any  one  can  give  information  about  the 
Bodmin  book,  it  will  be  most  acceptable.  A 
replv  direct  would  oblige.

OP  St.  John's,  Newfoundland.— In  an  old 
numi>er  of  Mncmillan  the  writer  of  an  article 
on  Newfoundland  alludes  to  one  Christopher 
Martin,  a  Devonshire  sailor  from  Uockingtun, 
who  successfully  defended  the  nort  of  St. 
John's  against  the  Dutch  in  the  time  of 
Charles  II.,  and  who  "has  left  an  account  of 
the  engagement."  Where  can  I  find  this 
account— in  what  book  or  pamphlet  J  Can 
any  reader  furnish  date  of  birth  and  further 
particulars  of  this  hero  1      Charles  King.

.S'ay.— There  were  two  distinct  fabrics  of 
this  iiarae.  Otre  was  a  thin  sort  of  silk  stuff 
used  for  wearing  apparel ;  and  the  other, 
which  is  obviously  the  one  mentioned  in  the 
churcli  ward  ens'  accounts,  was  a  thin  woollen 
atuff  or  serge,  mucli  used  for  upholstery.  In 
an  inventory  (tenip.  Henry  VIII  )  of  the 
effects  of  Sir  John  Foskewe,  among  his  hall

issued  concerning  "the  true  making  of  all

Saixt  with  Five  Stars  (10'''  S.  v.  348). — 
He  is  St.  John  Nepomuc,  martyred,  after 
torture,  on  16  May,  1383,  by  being  thrown 
into  tho  river  at  Prague  by  the  orders  of  the 
Em|)eror  Wonceslas  IV.  He  was  a  canon  of 
Prague  Cathedral,  and  confessor  to  Wen- 
ceslas'a  wife,  the  Empress  .Tane.  The  em- 
peror was  .1  dissolute  tyrant,  and  attempted 
to  extort  from  Ht.  John  tho  statements  that 
the  empress,  a  pious  woman,  ha<^l  made  in 
confession.  The  confessor  refu.ied  to  betray 
his  trust,  and  was  martyred.  The  following 
stanza  from  the  oliice  hymn  of  the  Firat 
Veapera  of  the  saint  suiHciently  explains  the 
stars:— 

Uodis  profundia  mergitiir.

He  is  represented  with  his  finger  on  hia  lips. 
Pustet  of  Ilatisbon  issues  a  coloured  print 
of  St.  John  Nepomuc,  but,  on  consulting  a 
specimen,  I  find  that  no  information  is  given 
a*i  to  the  name  of  the  painter  of  the  original. 
Moreover  Pustet's  print  is  clearly  different  in 
important  details  from  the  picture  which 
Humble  bek  describes.  Possibly  that  picture 
may  be  a  copy  of  the  altar  piece  of  St.  John 
Nepomuc's  altar  in  the  church  of  St.  John 
Lateran  at  Kotne.       II.  Johnson  Walkeb.

"  Place"  CIO"*  S.  v.  2(57,  316,  333,  353,  371). 
— No  doubt  your  English  correspondents  will 
he  able  to  furnish  Dr.  Murhay  with  infor- 
mation alinut  the  use  of  thi.s  word  in  England. 
Meanwhile,  the  history  of  the  first  "Place" 
in  Boston,  Massachusetts,  will  perhaps  not  be 
without  ititerest.  The  first  block  of  brick 
buildings  to  be  erected  in  Boston  was  designed 
by  Charles  BulBnch,  a  noted  architect  in  his 
day,  wa-s  built  in  1793-4,  and  was  called  the 
Tontine  Buildings  or  the  Tontine  Crescent. 
On  31  December,  1703.  Bulfinch,  Scollay,  and 
Vauglmn  stated  that  "in  erecting  the  centre 
building  of  the  Crescent  it  was  our  intention 
to  accommodate  the  [Massachusetts]  Histori- 
cal Society  with  a  convenient  room"(l  Pro- 
ceedinijs  of  the  J/a»s.  J/ist.  Soc,  i.  58  note). 
la  a  deed  dated  1  May,  1794,  is  the 
following  : — 

"  Know  all  men  hy  these  presentB,  that  wc, 
Charle.1  Vaiishftu,   William  ScolUy,  auil    Charles 

Bulfinch do  liereliy  give,  t^ant,    bargain,  sell, 

and    convey  unto  the  said  Society the    upixr 

Bjiartment  or  room  in  the  centre  buildint;  in  Frank- 
lin Place,  in  said  Boston,  called  the  Crescent'" — 
Ibid.,  i.  05,  note. 

Presumably,  therefore,  the  word  "  Place  " 
arose  between  December,  1703,  and  May, 
1794,  and  it  can  be  shown  that  the  term  was 
used  in  February,  17114.  The  following 
extract  is  taken  from  The  Mass/ichtnetts 
Magazine  for  February  of  that  year  (vi.  07) : — 

''The  annexed  Plate  exhibits  a  view  of  the 
•mildinns  now  erecting  in  the  centre  of  this  town 
on  a  Tontine  priaciple.  One  half  of  I  hese  bititdinKR

(1<>«>>  S.  V.  184,  253,  351,1— In  reply  to  your 
correspondent  J.  H.  K.  1  fear  I  cannot  throw 
mucli  light  on  ti>e  connexion  Ijetween  the 
brothor«  Thoman,  Samuel,  anri  Joseph  Crane, 
,'Qt    Chester,  and   my   ancestors  in  Chester, 

!)t  that  I   believe  they   were  probably 
V  relaled. 

My  Krandfather  Thomas  Crane  wa3  cer- 

lily  a  i«M>k8(«ller  in  Chester,  and  may  have 

in  the  Thomas  of  tfte  trio  above  name<). 

It     is    supposed     that     Crane    Street, 

Iter,  is  named  after  the  familv,  who  in 

eighteenth  century  certainly  had  proi)erty 

LCboster. 

It  may  he  of  interest  to  J.  H.  K.  to  know 
>t  my  great-grandfather  was  in  the  lloyal 
ivy— a  lieutenant  on  boarii  tho  Monarch,  of 
fgunii— and  fouglit  against  the  French  (leet, 
i recorded  in  a  letter  in  TAr  Chetltr  Coumnt 

tho   neriwl.    So  I  understand   from   the 

letter  of  an  aunt  of  mine  (my  father's  sister, 
(BOW  dereased). 

^■£he  alx'i  says   that   Parsori   Crane   was  a

I  cao  confirm  the  schoolboy  habit  of  term- 
ing the  last  Sunday  of  the  terra  Cockhat 
Sunday.  I  M-as  at  school  many  years  ago 
at  Isleworth,  and  not  only  did  we  cock  our 
hats  in  going  to  cliucch,  but  we  further 
•dubbed  tlio  day  Drown- the-Choir  Sunday, 
because  on  that  day  (and  that  day  only,  I 
fear)  the  rank-and-hle  of  the  Hchool  in 
•deafening  chorus  outsang  the  choir,  and  had 
things  practically  tiieir  own  way.  I  feel 
bound  to  add  that  our  rector  at  the  time 
fully  entered  into  the  spirit  of  the  thing,  and 
always  gave  us  some  specially  stirring  and 
easily  romcmberefl  hymn,  such  as  "  Jera»a- 
lem  tiie  Golden"  or  "Onward,  Christian 
floldiers."  The  effect  was  stupendous.  During 
the  rest  of  the  term  we  were  vainly  exhorted 
to  "sing  out  and  join  the  choir  in  making 
your  voices  heard."  Is  Drown-theChoir 
Sunday  common  elsewhere?

Ariel  (10^'  S.  v.  243,  29fi).— T  had  good 
rea.'jon  for  choosing  Beelzebub  and  Vishnu 
as  example.H,  though  I  do  not  seem  to  have 
made  this  clear  in  ray  answer.  The  devil 
and  the  deity  became  actually  women,  in 
substance  aa  well  as  in  form.  As  an  instance 
of  a  deity  that  changed  his  shape  only,  I 
may  nietttion  Vertumnus.  Ho  appeared  in 
the  form  of  an  old  woman  to  Pomona,  but 
ho  did  not  change  hiD  aex.        E.  Yaudlcy. 

Wo  may,  1  think,  fairly  conclmie  that  the 
spirit  Ariel  of  'Tiie  Tempest'  is  of  the 
nianculino  type,  inanmuch  a^,  like  Caliban, 
this  spirit  is  an  attribute  of  the  masculino 
cliaroctcr  Pros|)ero,  who,  in  the  name  column 
of  the  First  Folio,  addresHOH  Ariel  as  *'  my 
diligence."  ami  says  of  Caliban  (-^animal 
nature),  "This  King  of  dftrknesse  I  Acknow- 
ledge mine."  A.  J.  WiLU.^ii--». 

In  reference  to  Mr.  Plait's  answer  about 
Ariel,  I  l>eg  to  remind  him  that  Ziska  is  an 
abbreviation  of  Fran/iska,  a  well-known 
name  amongst  German  girls. 

S.   BiRKBACM. 

Shakspere  seems  to  have  use<l  Ariel  an 
equivalent  to  aerM,  "a  spiiit  of  the  air. 
lu  Hebrew  it  may  equate  "leonma  ;  thus 
David  had  three  mighty  men  of  hi-i  body- 
guard, Benaiah,  their  capUin  and  commander, 
being  a  goo«l  fourth.  .  «.     i 

Now  this  Benaiah  slew  two  Artels  of  Moal> 
(2  Sam.  xxiii.  20);  and  it  is  a  wonderful 
carit>sitv  of  literature  to  find  this  ox|)loit 
capped  bv  the  Moabite  Stone,  where  "  Mosha 
carried  oil"  from  Ataroth  the  Ariel  of  David, 
atid  disembowelled  thom  befure  Chemosh. 
This  parallel  seems  too  exact  to  be  accidenUl.

GOBTHE:  "BelLS,  BUGS,  AND  CHRISTIANITY  " 

{lei's.  V.  2TO>.-Goctlio'«  authorship  of  llie 
remark  attributed  to  him  by  his  Frencli 
critic  seems  very  improbable.  It  conflictn, 
at  all  events,  with  much  that  119  said  in  the 
noet's  *  Autobiography  '  ('  Dichtung  und 
Wahrlieit').  The  whole  trend  of  (Joetho's 
religious  opinion,  as  set  forth  in  the 'Auto- 
biography,' is  far  fnini  auggestive  of  the 
atatement  referred  to,  und  this  may  be  looked 
upon  as  Mignificant.  But  a  few  examples 
which  are  particularly  i)ertiiient  may  be 
given. 

Ill  disproof  of  tite  genuineness  of  the  story 
about  the  bust  of  Jupiter,  there  niay  be 
mentioned  Goethe's  amusing  account  of  Prof. 
Clodiua's  hostile  criticism  of  liis  early  euthu- 
Riaf^m  fi.ir  classical  mythology  (' D.  «.  W.,' 
vii.).  The  subject  of  (Jlotlius'8  criticism  wan 
an  ode  by  the  young  poet  in  honour  of  hia 
uncle's  marriage  ;  for  the  personages  of  this 
piece,  the  author  himself  sujh,  lie  Jiad  "con- 
vened all  Olympus."  Tlio  condemnation  by 
Clodius  of  the  peculiar  artistic  means  em- 
ployed was  very  effectual.    Goethe  writes  :— 

"  Yet  since  Kin  criticnip,  wlien  I  took  his  iwidt  of 
view,  seemed  to  be  perfectly  just,  and  those  divini- 
tie»  more  nearly  insjiected  were  in  fact  only  jiollow 
■hadow-fornis,  I  cursed  all  OlyniiiuR,  (lung  the 
whole  mythic  I'untlieou  away,  and  from  that  time 
Amor  and  buna  have  been  the  only  divinities  which 
dl  a|>|>ear  in  my  little  i>oenis." 

Ah  does  not  flatly  contradict  the  slorv  of 
*>  sun  gilded  bast,  but  certainly  invalidates 
^cogency.

Your  Toronto  correspondent  will  find 
observations  as  to  tiie  probable  derivation  of 
the  name  Hawtrey  in  F.  St.  J.  Thackeray's 
'  Memoir  of  Dr.  Hawtrey  '  (formerly  Provost 
of  Eton).  Mr.  Thackeray,  after  saying  that 
the  name  is  "generally  regarded  a«  a  corrup- 
tion of  Haute  Rive,  Latin  De  Altii  Eipa," 
and  quoting  referencea  to  Alta  Ilipa,  near 
Alenvon,  from  Ordericus  YitaliH,  states 
(pp.  6-10)  that  from  Sir  William  De  Altii 
Kipa,  of  Algarkirk,  io  South  Lincoln.shire, 
who  "move^l  southwards  about  12G0, '  waa 
descended  Hawtrey,  the  Provo.it  of  Eton.

"In  a  Chautry  Certificate  ilois)  the  yearly  value

that  wo  are  apt  to  overlook  the  many  and  (treat

now  in  a  ereiil  measure  superrcded.  but  the  iin-

It  would  not  be  fair  to  say  that  the  p&per  on 
Tre-Raphaelitisni  is  deiireciatory,  but  it  does  not 
do  full  justice  to  a  movement  whioh  had  (treat 
influence,  not  only  on  what  is  (lopularly  cntled  art. 
but  also  on  many  lines  of  thought  only  remotely 
connected  with  each  other. 

Ti)  "The  New  Universal  Library''  of  Messrs. 
RoutledKe,  the  cheapest  and  most  attractive  collec- 
tion in  its  class,  have  been  made  some  notable  addi- 
tinns.  First  anionff  these  we  are  disiiosed  to  rank 
Thi'  Rihh  in  S/ialii  and  Thr  Romanu  Hut  nf  Borrow, 
two  of  the  most  readable  and  precious  volumes  of 
the  collection,  the  re-reading  of  which  in  this  cheap 
and  convenient  form  becomes  almost  an  oblitratinu. 
The  ♦.bird  volume  of  Thr  Sjurfnlor  appears,  like  the 
previous  volumeB,  with  the  servioenble  notes  of  Mr. 
iJeorpe  A.  Ailken.  and  Minipletes  half  the  edition.

Thii  A'jt  of  Fahlr,  by  Thomas  Bulfinch,  is  new  to 
us.  It  is,  however,  a  clever  and  interesting  com- 
Tiilation,  and  deserves  tho  honourable  place  assigned 
it  in  tho  collection.  Drfamthorp,  a  book  of  essays

In  the  chancel  was  Peter  pictured  on  the  windows

I  do  not  think  much  doubt  can  he  f<»lt  by 
any  one  with  regard  to  the  cliaracter  of  tJiis 
tlocument.  Its  origin  must  be  fairly  recent. 
Not  much  can  \>c  argued  from  the  style,  but 
I  notice  that  in  two  of  the  few  claii.ses  for 
which  no  exact  equivalent  is  found  in  Dow- 
sing's  'Journal' the  expression  "brasses"  is 
used.  This  Dowsing  never  employs,  so  far 
as  I  see.  His  phrase  is  "brass  inscription" 
or  *'  inscription  in  (or  of)  brass." 

My  object  in  setting  out  this  forgery  as  I 
have  done  is  first  to  call  attention  to  its 
character,  and  next  to  ask  whether  any  of 
your  readers  can  lielp  me  to  trace  it  to  its 
.source.  M.  R.  James.

The  view*  which  I  put  forward  in  tm*  reply 
alluded  to  above  have  incurred  PuoK,  SKKATrt^ 
abnolute  condemmition.  I  am  asked  for 
evidence  that"  bung,"'"boung,"  and  "bongue" 
meant  "cask,"  and  to  wIii»l  language  ihej' 
l>el<)ng.  It  aeemx  scarcely  neceH>*ftry  to  say 
that  they  are  all  English  forms  uf  tlie  name 
word,  and  I  made  it,  I  think,  very  clear  that, 
while  liy]N)thelical  in  the  original  sen^iO  of 
"  ca«k,"  that  sen^o  would  nooti  be  forthconiieig.

aca.sk,  acquired  a  derivative  meaning  in  the 
vulgar  tongue,  Hlarting  a  fre<<h  group  of 
worils,  amongxt  which  wat  "  bungy."  I  ant 
accused  of  manipulating  tho  hhuhq  of  thiK 
word,  and  of  inserting  "round  and  shaped 
like  a  cank  "  out  of  my  own  head  ;  tlie  in- 
criminate<J  Kense  was  taken,  not  out  of  my 
head,  but  rather  fn)in  the  uplKisite  end  of  the 
"bungy  old  fuller  like,  all  asM  an'  pocket,"  of 
the  'E.D.D.'  (|uotation. 

The  equivocal  senile*  of  the  vulgar  form  of- 
"bung"  are  iibown  in  the  above-mentioned

of  "hung"  should  not  be  strange  to  I'liur. 
Skeat.  since,  in  his  dictionary,  he  accei)ti 
the  derivation  of  "bun"  from  /nnjitf,  "a

8NAKE8  IS  Soi'TH  Afbica.— In  ft  review  of 
The  ComJtUl,  nnte,  p.  3H0,  montion  is  raaile 
of  at)  article  by  Mr.  Claude  E.  Benson  on 
•  V'enomou!*  Serpents,'  and  it  is  s&id  : — 

"The  nif>»t  dangeroin  of  these  appeari  to  bo  the 
African  iiiRniha,  which  fliea  »l  evtjrylhiitit  fcnd 
«verylio(ly,  and  will  'even  conic  down  from  a  tree 
to  oolicit  aa  interview.'  " 

This  otat-ement  is  ao  different  from  my 
exfM>iienoe  of  the  mam ba  that  I  venture  to 
♦xk  if  )i7iy  of  your  very  nuruerouj*  corre- 
^•[Kindents  can  corroborate  it.  I  can  sjjeak  with 
Itome  little  knowledge  nf  the  South  African 
pnake8,  for  I  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  of 
latal,  was  nine  yeans  there,  and  never 
)i$se<J  an  opportunity  of  killing  a  snake, 
^ilaiiy  itiauibaa  1  put  an  end  to.  The  mamba, 
or  black  8uake,  in  a  most  deadly  bea«t,  it  ia 
true.  I  saw  a  Zulu  who  iiad  been  bitten  in 
tile  heel,  and  who  died  in  little  more  than 
an  hour  ;  and  an  Englishman  living  near 
me,  to  whom  the  same  mischance  occurred, 
die<J  the  next  day.  1  once  heard  of  one  who 
flew  at  a  traveller  on  horseback,  but  it  was 
believed  that  the  snake  would  never  attack 
any  one  unlesii  he  got  between  the  female 
and  her  nest.  In  the  caues  named  above  the 
victims  liad  acci<lentalty  trodden  on  them. 
I  never  saw  or  hoard  of  a  mamba  in  a  tree. 
I  wus  struck  by  one  myself  in  the  thumb, 
btit  he  was  only  a  little  one,  and  good  doses 
of  aloe  juice  and  milk  cured  rae.  Had  he 
been  full  grown,  nothing  could  have  saved 
me.  It  does  not  follow  that  Mr.  Uenson  is  in 
error  because  my  experience  doe.s  not  tally 
with  his  statement;  but,  as  I  said,  I  should 
be  glad  to  know  if  it  can  be  corroborated.

seen  in  MS.  what  purports  to  be  an  English 
version  of  a  letter  addressed  by  the  Grand

proteslinp  against  the  proposed  marriage 
between  Najioleon  and  herself,  and  specially 
mentioning  the  murder  of  I'alde  (irV).  This 
may  be  an  error  of  transcription  for  Talm, 
the  unfortunate  Niirnberg  bookseller,  shot

"Brock":  "BAnoKR"  (lo"-  S.  v.  3?9).— 
The  etymology  of  place.s  like  Brockley  is  ex- 
tremely slippery  ;  for  in  sorne  cases  Brock- 
really  coe-s  baclc  to  the  A,-S.  trOc,  a  brook. 
Certainly  fjfoc/i  is  Celtic,  and  means  "gray." 

Broxbourne  means  "  Brock's  bourne,'' 
where  Brock  (A.-S.  lirocc,  Uim-)  was  a  man's 
name;  just  as  some  men  have  the  surname 
Badger  at  this  day. 

I  am  afraid  that  some  of  the  etymologies 
which  1  first  gave  in  1880  ought  to  be 
consigne«i  to  oblivion.  I  have  tried  to  with- 
draw them  Ui  .some  extent  by  the  publication 
of  my  'Concise  Etymological  Dictionary'  in 
1901— an  edition  in  which  many  things  wore 
bettered.  I  there  say  of  Uidfjrr  that  it  ia 
"spelt  Ixuieanl  in  Sir  T.  More.  Dr.  Murray 
nhowH  that  /jtiJffer  means  the  animal  witli 
the  ixtdije  or  stritrf>.''  The  chief  dilHculty  is 
to  trace  the  wortl  f'tirlfi':  itself. 

Walter  W,  Skeat. 

The  gradual  di.sappearance  of  this  animal 
from  its  favourite  haunts  is  lessening  the 
necessity  fur  reference  to  its  character  and 
habits.  Even  its  name  is  rarely  hoard  except 
smong  naturalists,  who,  of  course,  speak  of  it 
m»  the  badger.  In  certain  rural  parts  of 
Scotland,    however,    it     is     not    altogether

of  this  prnvorb  aaaumea  that  it  is  the  month, 
and  the  whole  month,  that  is  in  question. 
Unless  with  the  aid  of  supeiior  culture,  we

Thirty  years  ago  in  West  Yorkshire  we 
had  three  of  these  "May"  couplets,  which 
were  often  associate*!.  Amongst  my  own 
coinpanions  there  was  an  idea  (with  what 
basis  I  know  not)  that  the  first  was  nio<lern. 
but  that  the  second  and  third  wen*  very  old. 
At  any  rate,  their  association  shows  that  the 
reference  itt  tlie  second  was  to  .May  the 
raonth,  and  not  "  may  "  the  hawthorn  bloom, 
which  Bohiom  appears  in  the  West  Riding 
before  quite  the  end  of  May  or  early  Juue. 
The  couplota  were : — 

Never  clianKc  a  thing 

Till  May  oiines  in. 

Never  cast  a  clout 

Till  May  goes  out. 

Those  who  Iwide*  in  Mi»y 

Will  soon  be  laid  in  clay. 

The  i<lea  was  that  at  the  lieginning  of  May 
one  migiit  change  some  garment  (overcoat  or 
undershirt  in  the  case' of  men)  for  a  ligliter 
one,  but  that  none  must  be  quite  abandone*!

century  took  ft<lvai)rftgo  of  tlio  postiug-house 
systeoi,  which  had  originally  i>eeii  organized 
for  tlie  convenience  of  the  king  h  niet^songers, 
Hnd  eNpecially  for  thuse  carry  Lug  lettors  or 
brief!!.  Tlibso  liou«c.s — at  first  only  on  the 
niain  roads  between  large  towns,  but  l(it«r 
on  branch  routes  also— were  granted  the 
monopoly  of  Hupplj'ing  relays  of  horses  for 
the  king's  service,  aiui  for  the  carriage  of 
letters  for  the  public,  anfl  finally  for  tlie  u«o 
of  (general  traveller's.  The  "poHtmaHterH" 
received  fixed  wages  from  Government,  and 
to  supplement  the-ie  were  allowed  to  cbarj^e 
Sic',  a  mile  for  one  liorse  or  ^d.  a  mile  fur 
two  horses,  with  a  mounted  attendant,  who 
was  always  to  accompany  the  party  when  tkn 
many  as  two  horses  were  hired. 

In  Charles  I.'s  time,  Thos.  Witlierinj; 
endeavoured  to  render  the  f>ost-al  .Hyxtem  seif- 
aupporting  by   itnptwini^  a   fixed  charge  for 

Srjvate  letters  of  id.  for  a  single  or  bd.  fur  a 
ouble  one  for  a  rlintanco  not  exceeding 
^0  miles,  2d.  or  4d,  for  140  miles,  and  ho  on, 
this  .scale  being  a  nKKlificatioii  of  that  already 
obtainin(^  in  certain  local  post  •  servicen, 
notably  in  Devonshire,  where  several  towns 
(fy/.,  Barnstaple)  kept  horses  at  the  expense 
of  the  corporation,  and  undertook  to  convey 
private  letters  at  regular  times  to  meet  the 
ting's  ix)st  on  its  way  to  London.  That  tlie 
same  arrangement  lielil  good  for  travellers  is 
not  explicitly  .staleii,  but  may  perhaps  Ije 
inferred. 

In  the  iSouth  Tawton  churchwardens' 
accounts  I  find  the  entry,  in  LViT,  "  F' for 
the  shoving  of  the  horse  for  the  Poste,  xij''." 
I  should  have  thought  that,  as  tlie  old 
"  Posting  Koad  "  from  Exeter  to  Oakhampton 
ran  througii  this  parish,  its  people  would 
have  caught  the  post  on  the  wing,  and  not 
have  needed  to  keep  post-horses  of  their 
own.  Was  tliere,  perhaps,  not  any  Govurn- 
ment  post-house  at  C)akhamptoa  so  early  ] 
tf  a  royal  post-horse  cast  a  slioe  in  any  place 
it  passed  through,  did  the  cost  ofreshoeing 
fall  on  that  parish  or  on  the  king? 

At  Leicester,  says  Joyce,  in  9  Eliz.,  the 
memljers  of  the  c<M|>oration  hound  them- 
selves under  finally  to  keep  four  post-horses 
in  constant  readiness  for  their  sovereign's  use ; 
but  this  "can  hardly  have  l>een  a  common 
practice."  Where  horses  were  not  provided 
voluntarily,  the  magistrates  and  constables 
had  orrlers  to  seize  them  wherever  they  could 
ha  found.     But  did  thoy  fmi/  for  them  ?

S<if,lMiit,.  and  ill  Kuumantan  Stiiihiitil.  The 
Slavonic  forms  are  still  more  interesting,  as 
the  stress  in  some  of  them  is  ufMin  the  first,

Surely  the  inero  fact  that  the  Spanish  for 
iturday  is  S,Uj'ifh>  proves  nothing  a-s  to  a 
piH:ial  influence  of  tlie  Jews  in  Spain.  For 
the  Italian  for  Saturday  in  SalifMUi :  the 
Tortuguese  is  SnUnulo  ;  the  French  i«i  S>nnedt

*Som/ri ,-  and  the  Wallaciiian  in  SAmhi'KH.  We 
have  to  deal  with  the  more  gunnral  question 
««  to  tlie  transition  from  the  Jewish  Sahbatli 
to  the  Christian  I/orrl's  day,  which  it  i« 
extremely  diflk-ult  to  date  exactly.

I  do  not  think  .V(i6a«/o  in  Spanish  can  have 
mnch   to  do  with   the  Jews    in   Spain,    any 
raore   than    SahUitn,   the    Italian    word    for 
«aturday,  is  ui  l>e  .  I  with  the  Jews

The  use  of  the  term  Sahlmth  for  Saturday 
i8  not,  as  H.  W— b  i»eenia  to  think,  peculiar

HOLYOAKE    BIBUOGRAPHY. 

MaSV years  aj<o,  in  tnore  <>nergAtic  days,  I 
began  s  bibliography  of  G.  J.  Holyoakn'H 
aopAi-ate  publicatiniiM  ;  but  it  had  to  be 
abandonon  with  various  nimilar  project!.  I 
■hall  never  (Jo  thei  bibliograpliv  now,  and 
therefore  write  to  «ay  that  I  will  loud  wliat 
1  have  done  aud  all  tlio  worlo*  I  have  to  any 
•ympathetic,  responsible  person  who  will 
compile  Huch  a  catalogue  (and  pay  for  ita 
beiMK  printed  7). 

Thore  are  alxiut  113  entrien  under  Holy- 
oake'4  name  in  tlie  British  MuHeuni  CatA-

the  Bodleian,  the  Quildhall,  and  other 
libraries. 

I  have  only  about  sixty  pamphletn  ;  among 
them  is  a  lieartfelt  tribute  by  Hulyoake  to 
bin  first  wife,  Eleanor  Williatua  Holyoake 
(1819-84). 

He  wrote  on  all  kinds  of  subjecta :  a  child's 
book,  biographies.  &c. ;  and  two  English 
frr&muaars,  an  art  in  which,  like  William 
Cobbett,  he  wa«  soniewhat  behind  in  early 
life— I  mean  more  so  than  moxt  of  us. 

There  are  several  "anonynia"  (8"'  S.  ix. 
34:i),  as  "The  Purple  lecture  umwI  by  th» 
Manchester  Unity  of  the  Independent  Order 
of  Odd  Fellows,  1846":  and  another  on 
'The  India  and  China  Tearnart,'  Glasgow 
(ISa-t).  The  'Life  of  the  Colebrate^J  Lord 
Brougham'  is  pseudonymous.  I  happened 
to  dip  into  this.     Holyoake  aaj's  :— 

"The  English  nation  ht«  just  ln<it  the  irreatcst 
nobleman  it  noBMssed Lonl  Brouehani  pub- 
lished an  edition  of  '  Paley's  Natural  Thooloey ' — 
more  ambitious  thuti  Butcosgfiil— and  left  Paley 
rather  leiui  interesting  tliAii  ho  was  before." 

'*  Brotigham,"  ho  says,  "wrote  three 
volumes  of  Political  Philosophy,  by  which 
no  p<Mitici&ns  were  ever  made  philoMophic." 
A  little  further  on,  talking  of  Rrou^fiam'a 
"capacity    to     see,    when     con  -'     a 

sentence,   what  the   end  of   it  !.»«»'* 

Holyoake  says: — 

"  Most  s[i«aker«have  aoma  difficalty  in  becinnins 
a  aentence,  and  have  no  idea  whatever  what  the 
tamiination  will  be,  and  not  infrequently  in  their 
haoda  a  Bent«noe  never  aitAina  to  a  termination 
at  all." 

Holyoake  had  a  great  capacity  for  looking 
at  most  things — statemeuCe  or  matters— in 
a  different  light  from  others. 

His  name  first  appears  in  *Men  of  the 
Time'  in  1872.  Mr.  Washington  Moon  left 
him  out  of  the  thirteenth  edition,  which  he 
edite<l  in  18'Jl.  Mr.  V.  G.  Piarr  did  not 
reinstate  him  in  the  next  edition,  I6U5. 
Whether  these  editors  thought  he  must  be 
dead  or  did  not  know  him  is  doul)lful. 
Holyoake  reappeared,  however,  in  *  Who's 
Who'  in  1897,  and  continued  to  the  last 
edition. 

About  187f>  he  wiw,  says  a  paper  of  that 
date,  "in  broken  health,  aud  a  fund  is 
sought  to  be  raised  on  his  behalf."'  This  waa 
subscribed  to  by  penwns  of  all  shades  of 
religious  and  ]x>litical  opinions,  and  I  believe 
that  a  small  annuity  was  bought  for  him. 

If  I  ha«l  the  call.  1  should  like  to  name 
Mr.  W.  E.  .\.  Axon  as  the  person  to  under- 
take such  a  bibliography  ;  and  with  his 
unlimited  capacity  for  work  it  would  ha 
little  trouble  to  him,  I  imaE.i.u«.

NOTES  AND  QUER 


ANGLO  SAXOK   NAMES   AS    SURNAMKS. 

Maxt  have  pointed,  with  «ome  pride,  to 
the  tormn  of  their  Hurimtnea  as  proving  or 
flUggestttiK  that  their  familiar  came  over  with 
the  Conqueror.  Surely  it  is  wven  more  in- 
terettinK  to  observe  that,  in  other  in-' ■■■■-■■ 
surnames  sre  Rtill  in  use  that  wer> 
u«ied  aa  namea  before  tiie  Conqueror  ..,..■,  i  .- 
EnKland  at  all. 

I  notice  that,  In  Bardsley'ii  '  Dictionary  of 
SurnaiiieN,'  many  namos  are  aaid  to  be  of 
EnKli'ih  orig;in,  and  vet  the  true  Anelo- 
Saxon  forms  from  which  they  have  desoenued 
are  but  obscurf^ly  suggested.  It  is  poflsible 
to  be  more  exact. 

By  wMy  of  examrjle,  take  the  A.-S.  name 
yflthelwine,  formerly  very  common.  In  later 
A.-S.  or  in  Norman,  it  becaras  .Kgelwine 
(regularly),  with  the  ff  t»outided  as  «/.-  and 
thiM  is  the  obvious  origin  of  the  modern  tur- 
name  Aylwin,  with  its  variaut^  Ayien,  Aylin, 
and  Ayling. 

In  exactly  the  same  way  the  A.S.  yKthel- 
rawr  became  .Egelmajr,  and  finally  Aylmer  ; 
and  .'Etiiel  weard  became  .Kgelweai-d,  and 
finally  Ay  1  ward.  U  is  rather  sad  to  find 
that  Slisa  Vonge,  in  her  '  History  of  Chrittian 
Names,' connects  these  forma  beginning  with 
Af/l-  with  the  Norse  Egils.  it  must  suffice 
to  )iay  that  her  book  goes  l>ack  to  the  year 
1884,  when  the  notion  of  deriving  words 
in  accordance  with  hiatorical  forms  and 
phonetic  laws,  enpecially  in  the  case  of 
names,  was  insutticiently  regarderJ.  None 
of  her  results  can  now  be  accepted  without 
verification,  though  of  course  a  large  number 
are  quite  correct. 

The  A.S.  fornm  .Ethelwine  and  .-Elfwine, 
both  common,  could  either  of  them  have 
resulted  in  Alwyne  or  Elwin  or  Elvin  ;  but 
it  in  better  to  prefer  .i^lfwine,  as  it  pre- 
cludes the  form  Ayl-  above.  Here  I  think 
Miss  Yonge  made  a  wise  choice.  Similarly 
A -S.  ..Elfmier  became  Elmer  :  and  the  A--S. 
vl-'lfweard  became  Allan!  ana  Ellard.  This 
i.s  much  better  than  deriving  them  from 
..'I'^thelweard,  of  which  the  regular  repre- 
sentative (a«  above)  is  Aylward.  and  anotlier 
representative  was  Adelard,  which  ia  the 
modern  Adlard.  But  it  should  be  understood 
tliat  there  is  often  some  slight  doubt  a.s  to 
the  precise  origin  ;  for  example,  the  fairly 
common  A.-S.  Ealhheard  might  also  result 
in  AUard  (but  hardly  in  Ellard). 

Similarly,  the  A.  .S.  .Klfgod  gave  us  Algood 

and  Elgood  ;  and  .Klfgilr  gave  us  Algar  and 

Elgar.     The  representation  of  the  A.  S.  .£ 

by  both  A  and  A'  is  worthy  of  notice. 

The  A.-S.  jEthelwulf  became,   regularly.

Wo  coiuo  now  to  an  important  chapter  in  I 


Primaudaye,  chap.  xliv.  (pp.  467-78).  A% 
any  rate.  Greene  thought  it  important,  for 
the  whole  of  '  Peratio  his  discourse  upon 
Fortune,' in  '  The  Second  Part  of  Tritameron  ' 
(iii.  128-39),  is  annexed  from  the  translation 
of  the  French  writer.  When  a  Property  is 
annexed  on  any  considerable  scale  the  new 
owner  generally  discovers  many  desirable 
nooks  and  corners  he  was  hardly  aware  of  ; 
and  when  I  first  read  this  part  of  Greene  it 
was  with  great  interest— indee<J,  I  thougiit  it 
some  of  his  liest  pixwe.  Still,  I  felt  uneasy 
about  it.  It  did  not  somehow  ring  true. 
Like  a  sheep,  stolen  and  skilfully  skinned 
and  shorn,  or  a  captured  ship  relieved  of  its 
superfluous  cargo  and  flying  the  pirates'  tiag, 
so  titis  learned  and  well-laboured  discourse 
is  llobert  Greene's  by  no  manner  of  right, 
and  roust  be  restored  to  \t»  lawful  owner, 
Peter  de  la  Primaudaye.  The  method  of 
quotation  is  here  impossible,  the  extracts 
being  so  considerable.  But  I  will  endeavour 
to  place  Greene's  alterations  alongside  of 
tlie  original  text  as  lucidly  as  possible,  so 
that  an V  one  in  possession  of  eitlier  text  can 
see  for  himself  the  nature  of  the  transaction 
the  artful  Greene  indulge<l  in.  Poor  Greene  t 
his  "  New  books  from  the  Maker,  New  Rooks 
from  the  Maker,''  were  comj)eIled  to  gallop 
apace  at  all  costs.  In  Dekkor's  'Lanthorne 
and  Candlelight,'  chap,  v.,  •  How  to  catch 
Birdes  by  the  Booke,'  professes  to  expose 
"strange  villanies"  of  this  description,  but  it 
lacks  interest  and  convincingness. 

Primaudaye  (i).  470),  after  a  fjage  upon  his 
topic,  says  :  ••  Aristotle  saith,  that  I'ortune 
is  a  casuall  «k  accidental!  cause  in  tilings, 
which,  Ijeiiig  purpo.sely  tlone  for  some  cer- 
taine  end,  have  no  a^iparant  cause  of  their 
fulling  out  otherwise,'  ic.  He  lias  in  the 
preojding  pwiragraph,  given  us  :  '•  Plato- 
saith,  that  Fortuno  is  an  accidentall  cause 
lb  a  consequence  in  those  things  which 
proceed  from  the  counsell  of  man  "  From 
the  close  of  Aristotle's  opinionn,  being  three 
more  lines,  Primaudaye  goe»4  on  with 
"Epicurus  (laid  that  Fortune  was  sucli  a 
cause  as  agreed  neither  to  persons,  times,  or 
manners."  Then,  immediatelv,  we  have 
Theophrastus,  Juvenall,  Pimlarus,  Sytla 
(Greene  inserts  that  the  .•([teaker  remembers 
thii  from  Livy's  Decades),  Mithridat«s  and 
iSylla,  Julius  Cn-sar  ("  deiar  and  his  For- 
tune"), and  Augustus  his  succ&ssnr.  'I'his 
brings  us  to  the  foot  of  p.  471  in  Primaudaye, 
and  of  p.  131  in  Greene,  who  inserts  liero  a 
line  and  a  half  not  in  his  exemplar.  Greene's

Sanatorium  at  Minn urst.— Relative  to 
the  new  "Edward  VII. 's  Sanatorium"  at 
Midhurst,  in  Sussex,  whiclt  Uis  Majesty  in 
expected  to  inaugurate  this  month,  tlie  sab- 
joine<l  note  may  not  be  out  of  place.  As  a 
most  healthy  H\Mt  Midlmrst  has  long  beert 
known ;  but  few  localities  can  present  a 
bettor  record  than  that  attributed  to  this 
little  Sussex  township  by  7'/u  DiMin  Chw- 
}iide  of  1788.  The  \-illage  had  then,  in  all, 
only  some  140  cottages  or  houses.  Of  the 
inhabitants,  78  were  over  70  ;  no  fewer  than 
32  were  80  and  upwards ;  whilst  5  had 
I>assed  their  fourscore  years  and  ten.  and 
were  nearing  the  ripe  ago  of  I'X).  It  is  re- 
corded further  that  of  theTfl  septuagenarians 
only  4  were  unable  to  take  part  in  som& 
kind  of  business  or  occupation.  Mav  ail  the 
readers  of  '  N.  <!:  Q.'  live  to  an  equally  active 
and  green  old  age !  Though  tiie  record  is 
one  which  dates  back  a  hundred  years  and 
more,  it  may  helji,  nevertheless,  to  cheer 
those  who  are  ilestiiiod  to  do  battle  against 
the  dread  disease  of  consumption  under  the 
shadow  of  the  ancient  home  of  the  Montaguei^

jEA}i  NicOT.  —  I  hope  to  learn  through 
*N.  »k  Q.'  the  whereabouts  iu  England  of 
the  portrait  of  Jean  Nicot  by  Henri  Goltz 
{Miilebrecht,  1558:  Harlem,  I6l(j),  engraved 
in  1822  {ill  *  Pbysiognomical  Portraits'?) 
by  Charlea  Pye,  a  pupil  of  JameH  Heatli, 
and  the  elder  brother  of  John  Pye,  the 
celebrated  land^^cape  painter  of  Birmingham. 
Jean  Xicot  (153Ci-16U4),  a  councillor,  diplo- 
fnati>it,  lexicographer,  and  parson  of  Urie- 
Coute-Hobert  was  the  importer  of  tobacco.

Col.  Huon  Fobbks.— Can  any  one  give 
information  about  the  parentage  or  previous 
career  of  Col.  Hugh  Forbes  I  He  commanded 
a  regiment  in  the  service  of  the  Roman 
Republic  in  1849,  and  in  that  capacity  accom- 

Jianied  Garibaldi's  famouii  retreat  from  Rome 
after  the  siege),  joining  the  Garibaldians  at 
Terni.  and  marching  thence  to  Uesenatico- 
fie  put  to  sea  with  Garibaldi  and  the  last 
2O0,  but  WR»«  captured  by  the  Auatrians  and 
imprisoned  at  rola.  He  wore  a  white  top 
hat  in  the  field,  and  waa  known  as  tho 
"eccentric  Englishman."  He  was  a  good 
soldier,  and  was  passionately  devoted  to  the 
Italian  cause,  at  a  time  when  it  was  not  yet 
fashionable  in  England.  His  son,  a  boy  of 
twenty,  acted  as  his  aide-de-camp.  He  was 
aged  forty.  This  is  all  the  Italian  autho- 
rities tell  us,  I  want  to  find  his  connexions 
and  history  in  England.  Noitlier  he  nor  his 
son  is  identical  with  the  Sir  Charles  Forbes 
who  wrote  the  book  about  Garibaldi's  Sicilian 
expedition.  Gamma. 

"In  a  hdff."— The  rector  of  Little  Chart, 
Ashford,  Kent,  tells  me  that  he  has  recently 
beard  this  phrase  used  in  a  sense  hitherto 
unknown  to  him.  The  rector,  viisiting  the 
husband  of  a  poor  woman  who  had  just  die<l 
somewhat  suddenly,  was  told  that  *'  she 
went  off  in  a  huff'."  This  must  be  a  very 
rare  use  of  the  expression,  as  no  instance  is 
given  in  'E.D.D.'  of  the  phrase  in  this  sense 
in  any  part  of  England  or  of  the  mainland 
of  Scotland.  The  only  authority  supplieii  in 
the  dictionary  in  7'  '  '  '  md  A'ews  (16  Oct., 
1807).     I  should  l>  i  [far  of  instance)!

quotation  in  from  'Clyde  :  a  Puem'  canto  i. 
1.566.  The  author  was  John  Wilson  (1720-89), 
vrho  was  born  at  Lanark,  and,  after  liavinx 
been  for  a  time  pariah  schoolmaster  of 
Ijesniahagnw  in  his  native  country,  con- 
ducted Greenock  Grammar  School  from  1767 
till  within  two  yesarH  of  his  death.  The 
latter  appointment  was  given  him  on  the 
understanding  that  he  wa«  to  avoid  "the 
profane  and  unprofitable  art  of  poem- 
makinK."  a  thing,  writes  Scott  in  180.3,  "^fuiw 
as  aniikely  to  lianpen  in  Greenock  as  in 
London  "  (*  Min*ttrel«y  of  the  Scottish  Border,'

and  imperft?ctly  aruended  copy,  included  it 
in  his  'Scottish  l)escriptive  Poems.'  1803.

w*iT»nt©d  by  Ilia  own  practice.  Tlius,  what 
heintendHto  be  Welsh  for  "stinking  woU  " 
(jfiijnon  ddfrwllt/d),  is  good  Welwh  for  "Lloyd's 
town  well."  liin  nrrur-dd'i  \h  not  only  wrong 
in  i'M„,I..r,  ijm  inijilies  a  calumny  on  the 
I  ::y  a»  well,  for  the  p<:)rmlHr  English 

^'.  '  -  **  It  i«  a  Nli&me  to  rob  a  poor  man 

of  hM  boer  "  would  fall  quite  Hat  on  the  ears 
of  a  Welsh  audience.  When  telling  at  con- 
Biderable  length  the  story  of  Twm  Shoti 
Cattj,  he  invariably  calls  the  scene  of  liis 
hero'8  nioNt  famous  exploit  Yatryd  ffyn  ("  the 
Street  of  Staves  "),  in  deBarice  of  the  well- 
known  old  jingle:—

There  '•  loud  aUrm  and  fe»r, 
The  itout««i  heart  like  nieltiDg  lead 
For  dread  that  Twni  ia  near. 

The  following  <»eDtence  (p.  32)  exposes  Mr. 

Sradley's  weakness  on  another  and  a  more 
important  side:  "When  first  I  knew  the 
place,  the  burly  figure  of  a  celebrated  pulpit 
orator  of  the  MethiKli*t  persaaaion  waa  a 
familiar  one '  Kiisby '  Jone*."    After  that, 

ne  iH  not  aurpri8e<i   to  find  the  Welsh   Diej- 

sntera— the  three  Hecta— absolutely  ignored. 
At  Llangeitho,  the  Mecca  of  i(ctho<liMiii,  the 
tourist  IS  indef>endent  of  vernacular  guides, 
and  he  cannot  go  far  wrong  in  his  facts.  At 
lAmpoter  Su  l)avid'«»  College  is  alive  and 
flourmhing,  and  he  who  runs  raay  read  its 
■tory  and  it.-^  lesnon  ;  but  from  Lampeter  to 
Llan<JysHul  JHacountry  over  which  the  Church 
ban  no  hold,  and  where  MothwJism  is  quite  a 
•econdary  pha<*e  of  religious  life.  But  here 
w  found  ili<r  mo^t  unilinching  antagonism  t<i 
tbe  Church,  and  the  entire  «listrict  in  known 
M  the  "lllack  Spot,"  Can  Mr.  iJradley, 
perchance,  have  heard  that  term  and  mis- 
under»«toiKl  it  ?  At  any  rate,  it  is  the  very 
dutrict  where  ho  raisspelN  the  Welsh  for 
I  corpse  candle,"  talks  of  "sin  eaters"  and  their 

ghoulish"  feasts,  combines  his  information

V  **^''  *^°'^°*"^  '<«<'"  ^''»"  heard ).and  creates

In  roy  copy  of  J.  Downos's  •Mountain  Deca- 
in«r.»M  '  (i,  p.  207)  there  is  a  M.S.  note  on  this 
wonJ  which  may  not  Imj  inappropriate  here :

hMb'  ved  upon  the  district  by  the 


"orthodox,"  because  it  is  the  heart  of  lh& 
smallest,  but  most  "  advanced  "  of  tbe  Three 
Sects,  namely,  the  L'nitarians,  whose  excel- 
lent monthly  organ  Yr  Ymofiinvdd  {'I'lr 
Inrniiritr)  is  actually  published  at  Llandyssul. 
But  I  must  hurry  on.     The  tale  of  Dafvdd 

tMeirig]  of  Bettws  Bledrws.  which  Mr. 
(radtey  has  dumped  down  at  Llandybie,  has- 
nothing  whatever  to  do  with  that  locality. 
The  folk-lore  of  Llandybie  is  curiously  free- 
from  the  greedfor-hiildentroasure  vwtif, 
and  there  is  no  trace  of  such  a  thing  in 
the  real  Owen  Lawgoch  legend  of  that 
parish. 

I  now  come  to  Mr.  Bratlley's  indebtedness 
to  John  Davies.     He  has  the  names  of  the 


following  living  persons  in  his  l)ook  :    Dr. 

pnrvOwen.  Miss  Bra 
and   Hall  Caine.      No  one   would   complain 


Henry  Owen.  Miss  Braddou,  Marie  Corelli, 


that  he  does  not  give  the  names  of  the  "  fair 
mail-cart  driver"  of  the  Vale  of  Aeron,  of 
tlie  cockney  whom  he  n>et  in  f'erabrokeshire, 
or  the  acquaintance  of  Oe^irge  Borrow  whom 
he  met  at  Llandovery.  The  case  of  John 
Davies  stands  by  itself.  Half  a  do£en  of  the 
most  interesting  items  in  the  Wok  are 
given  on  his  authority  :  and  from  high 
above  Lampeter  to  far  below  Llnndyssul 
the  references  to  a  "local  chronicler."  a 
**  loctl  arjtiquary,"  Ac,  can  bo  easily  pieced 
together  bv  the  careful  reader  who  knows 
the  ground  (and  John  Davies).  There  is 
more  than  mere  "tactless"  curiosity  in- 
volved in  this  matter.  When  Mr.  Bradley 
relates  the  romantic  tale  of  the  vanished 
mansion  of  Maeayfelin  (*'  Millfield  '*),  otie 
would  like  to  know  wholher  he  got  the 
very  clumsy  version  of  the  "Vicar's  Curse" 
from  John  Davies  or  from  some  printed 
book.  In  the  original  the  curse  is  given 
in  the  well -known  "Vicar'n  Metre,"  a» 
follows  : —

Headlone  ii  i  '  ly'a  |irlde 

To  meet  Ilia  dutiilt  ui  'i'uwy'a  tide. 

The  fact  that  the  curse  is  in  that  metre  i» 
not  improbably  the  very  reason  why  the  tale 
has  .l)een  connecte<l  with  the  vicar's  son— a 
fact  obscare<i  in  Mr.  Bradley's  version.  KI-^-- 
where  Mr.  Bradley  introJuces  into  Vicnr 
Prichard's  meagre  biographv  the  old  "goat" 
stor^' — quite  a  modern  "fake"  in  that  con- 
nexion, for  it  used  to  be  told  of  »  Sir  I'hilip,

Rut  it  ia  from  William  Chichele,  the  arcli-

kin^ihip  is  derived.  In  thin  linu  Sir  John 
Chichele,  Kt..  of  Wirnpole.  Carnbi.,  married, 
about  IGOO,  afJaughter  of  Sir  TliomaH  Kempe, 
of  Roateagr,  Kent,  and  their  deflceudants 
carrie<I  on  tliA  family  until  it  became  extinct 
in  the  male  linu  at  the  death  in  1738,  without 
iiwue,  of  Richard  Chichele,  D.C.L.,  Master 
of  the  KaciiUien  and  necretary  to  tl»e  Arch- 
hi-ihop  of  Canterbury.  His  ninvov  and  heirens 
married  James  I'lowden,  of  Kwhurnt,  so  that 
the  Chichele- Plowdens,  of  whom  the  gonial 
London  magistrate  is  (perhaps the  l>e.<«t  known, 
are  now  the  dirwt  repreNontatives  of  this 
ancient  family.  It  may  not  be  without  in-

DANIKL  TUVILL  OR  TUTKVIL. 
John  Si-kxckb  in  his  'Thinm  New  ami 
Old,'  1658,  i8  the  only  ono,  na  far  a-t  I  have 
beeu  able  to  diacover,  who  makes  any  men- 
tion whatever  of  Daniel  Tuvill,  and  oven  be 
ifl  not  alwaya  conaintent  in  thr  spelling  of  the 
name,  reforriijK  l<»  it  »«  "Tutevil,"'  "Tut«- 
vile,"  and  ''Tuvill."  Two  facta,  however, 
are  to  be  gathered  from  Spencer  :  the  one 
that  Tuvill  was  alive  in  163I  :  the  other  that 
in  that  year  ho  preached  a  sermon  at 
*'Huttonn  Hospital),'  nftorwanis  known  an 
"The  Chortor  Hounti "  (»«•«  Whcatley'* 
'London  Pait  and  ProNunt,'  vol.  i.  p.  3f)2). 
In  1609  Tuvill  publiMlmd  the  firHt  e^liliun 
of  the  'Vado  Mecum,'  under  tiie  title  uf 
'  Enttaye^  Momll  and  TheologicAll,'  dedi 
catioK  the  little  book  to  Jamen  iM<)nttik:ui'. 
at  that  time  Riihop  of  Bath  and  ^^ 
afterwards  Bivhopof  Winchfster.  ^i 
died  in  I61H.  Ttii<i  flrtt  edition  \n  not  iiot:ir!!i- 
aible  to  mo  ;  but  [KThapH  I  am  not  far  wrong 
in  naying  that  Tuvill  hail  at  that  time  either 
entered  into  holy  ordnrM  or  wa«  alxtut  to  do 
10,  and  the  dndicalion  wan  intended  tA  a 
inbat«  of  rtifiect  to  hin  prtMont  or  pro 
•p«€tive  dtooesan.    That  dedication  is  not 


repeated  in  the  edition  of  1638.  Hazlilt,  in 
Ilia  *  Handb<x>k,'  1867,  haa  registered  four 
productions  from  the  nen  of  Daniel  Tuvill : 
two  of  them  I  intenu  dealing  with  iu  this 
note.     The  first  is  : — 

"  Essaiea  Politicke.  and  Morall.  By  D.  T.  G«nt. 
Printed  by  II.  L.  for  >Uthew  Lounett  dvveUinB  ia 
P»ule«  Cliurchyard.    IflOS." 

This  book  is  entered  in  the  'Stationers' 
Registers '  as  follows  (ed.  Arber,  vol.  iii. 
p.  370)  :— 

"19Aprili«[l(j(Wj. 
"  Matheue  Ix)wnM.    Kulred  for  his  Copie  vnder 
the   handea  of    M&«ter   Powell    and   the  warden* 
'KsMyes    |H)liti(]ue    and    Morall'    To    the   riRht 
houorable  the  Lady  Auuo  Harrington,  v]"*." 

As  indicated  in  this  entry,  the  volume  ia 
dedicated  "To  the  Right  Honorable,  and 
vertuous  Ladie,  the  Ladie  Anne  Harington." 
Thiij  lady  wa<<  the  daughter  and  heiress  of 
one  lloburt  Kelway,  SSurveyor  of  the  Court 
of  \Vard8  and  Liveries,  and  was  married  to 
Sir  John  Harington  a'oout  1590.  The  latter 
was  raised  to  the  peerage  aa  Lord  Harington 
in  July,  1003.  Uf  this  marriage  there  were 
scviMiii  children,  one  of  them  being  Lucy, 
r  years  famous  as  the  Countess  of 
:  M,  and  the  friend  of  Donne,  Ben 
Jouson,  Chapman,  Drayton,  and  Daniel.  In 
pausing  let  mo  say  that  Mr.  Gosso,  in  his 
admirable  and  exhaustive  '  Life  of  John 
Doune,'  ban  many  most  interesting  refer- 
ences to  this  CountesN  of  Bedford  and  the 
relationship  in  which  she  stooiJ  to  the  illua- 
triuus  men  I  have  named.  Lord  Harington 
die«l  at  Worms,  in  Germany,  on  13  August, 
1C13,  and  \\\y  romaini  were  interred  at  Exton, 
in  llutlnndiihire.  His  widow  died  in  June, 
1620,  at  St.  I5()tol[ih's,  Hishop«gate,  and  she 
too  waH  buried  at  Kxton  l)eAide  her  husband. 
In  16<:>3  Trincexs  Eiir.nbelh,  James  l.'«  un- 
fortunate danghter,  was  placed  under  the 
care  of  the  Haringtons,  who  were  resident 
at  that  lime  at  Combe  Abl^ey,  Warwickshire, 
the  i)roperty_as  it   would  apiiear,  of  Lady 

3  'distinguished 


laringlon.  This  laxly 
by  her  gentlen«*-sji  and  refinement,"  says  Miss 
I'.radley  in  the  'D.N.B.';  "she  lived  in 
great  f)0\crty  aft«r  her  hunband's  and  son's 
deaths  [the  latter  died  at  Kew  on  27  Feb- 
ruary, UiU],  and  went  back  for  a  time  aa 
hidyin  wailing  U)  IVincoss  Elizabeth." 

To  thin  gracious  lady,  then,  did  '"  D.  T. 
<.;ent."  detlicalc  his  volume  of  'Essaiea'  in 
1608.  Ho  opens  his  deflication  with  these 
words  :  —

Gouernesse,  from   m. 

royall  bed  might  reeeiue  liuirueuou.' 

At  the  end  of  this  dedication  he  subscribes 
himself,  "  Madam,  your  Honors  most  affec- 
tionate seruant,  D.  T." 

Let  it  not  be  forgotten  that  on  the  title- 
page  the  author  is  desiRaated  "Gent.."  the 
abbreviated  form  of  "Gentleman";  and  as 
he  tells  us  he  was  in  the  service  of  Lady 
Hat-ington,  we  should  like  to  know  the  exact 
nature  of  his  employment.  If  "  D.  T.  Gent." 
and  Daniel  Tu  vill,  wlio  in  after  years  preached 
at  Sutton's  Hospital,  were  one  and  the  same 
person,  the  natural  inference,  I  think,  would 
oe  that  he  occupied  the  position  of  tutor  in 
the  Harington  family.  Looking,  however, 
at  all  the  circumstanc&^,  I  am  strongly  oi 
opinion  that  "  D.  T.  Gent."  was  quit*  a 
different  person  from  Daniel  Tuvill.  I  am 
confirmed  in  this  opinion  by  the  fact  that 
all  the  extracts  reproduced  by  John  Spencer 
—excepting,  of  course,  the  one  from  the 
sermon  at  Sutton's  Hospital— are  taken  from 
Tuvill  8  •  Essaves,"  first  published  in  lfi09.  I 
have  taken  the  trouble  to  verify  all  the.';e 
extracts— Spencer,  except  naming  the  book, 
has  no  references  to  page  or  subject  of  essay 
— in  tlie  edition  of  1638.  I  am  also  inclined 
to  think  that  Spencer  was  personally 
acquainted  with  Tuvill,  as  he  was  with  many 
notable  men  of  his  time,  including  Fuller, 
the  Church  historian  ;  and  that  the  quotation 
from  the  Sutton  Hospital  sermon  was  fur- 
nishe'i  by  Tuvill  himself.  If  this  supposition 
b©  correct,  it  follows  that  Spencer  would 
most  likely  be  familiar  with  all  that  Tuvill 
had  written  and  published.  It  is  strange, 
then,  that  he  did  not  lay  the  'Essaies'  of 
1608  under  contribution  for  the  purposes  of 
his  excellent  miscellany,  if  for  nothing  else 
than  in  compliment  to  the  autlior. 

In  my  copy  of  the  '  Essaies,'  1608,  there  are 
a  Dumber  of  notes  in  a  handwriting  contem- 
poraneous with  the  date  of  the  book  ;  but 
they  are  not  of  any  consequence.  I  may 
remark,  however,  that  this  volume  of  1608  is 
a  very  much  scarcer  book  than  Tuvill's 
'Vade  Mecum.'  The  former  was  confined  to 
one  edition,  while  the  latter  went  through 
no  fewer  than  four  editions.  As  to  the 
literary  value  of  these  two  little  books,  they 
are  both  in  their  way  excellent ;  but  I 
should  say  the  'Essaies'  of  1608  are  much 
tvperior  to  those  in  the  'Yade  'M«cuvq.'    I

I  Kow  conclade  my  uotes  on  Qreene'n  in- 
debtedness to  Priiiiaudaye. 

In  chap.  xlvi.  rriiimuil&ye  continues  "Of 
houae  and  faniilie,  and  uf  the  kinds  of 
irriaj<e :  of  cerUvine  anciont  customer  ob- 
ved  in  marriage"— a  brief  but  ititereating 
discourse.  There  is  a  curiou.<i  pa^iage  about 
(j^ueet)  Elixabetli'a  wooers  in  it.  Greene 
ptck«  a  few  pluiUH  out  uf  this  chapter,  and 
places  them  in  a  iiU>rehou»e,  'The  Koyal 
Kxchange,'  which  in  admirably  suitable  for 
the  purpooe.  We  find  here  where  he  got  his 
Martia  as  an  authority  upon  marriage 
(p.  404\  but  nhe  furnished  Greene  witli  a 
name  only,  On  p.  •l!>4  we  have :  "  This  caused 
a  yootig  man   to  go  to  PittacuM,  one  of  the 

•ageH  of  Grecia,  and  to  anlco  Uh  coun«ell 

Marke  (Miid  this  witie  man)  when  children

in    bigneMM thoy    said    ulnud,    let   every 

one  go  tti  Itii  match.  Whoroby  ho  learned 
what  he  was  lo  do."  Greene  hajt  this,  in 
slightly  diflerent  wurdw  (iii.  270),  and  in  hxn 
differing  ho  ha<i  produce<J  itillintMK  :  "Going 
to  a  play  that  they  had.  which  wan,  euerie 
man  chooie  hit  poero,"  On  p,  497  (Name 
chapter)  we  find,  afioaking  of  second  mar- 
riages :  "  Valeria  of  Rome  tnay  servo  for  a 
notabln  example  to  women,  who  naid,  that 
hir  husband  diod  for  others,  but  lived  to  Itir 
for  ever."  Oreirnn  quotas  the*«e  wonl^  of 
"  •'      ''  '     ■      Vsleiia "  '.in 

•1  ICI),  be- 


has  a  discourse  upon  the  four  kinds  of  mar- 
riage, "namely,  the  marriage  of  honour, 
the  marriage  uf  love,  the  marriage  of  labour, 
and  the  marriage  of  grief."  He  divide* 
the  first  into  three  sorts,  all  "supernatural, 
and  appointed  of  God,  in  an  unspeakable 
manner."  He  then  deals  with  the  other  three. 
Greene,  in  'Penelope's  Web'  (v.  159-60), 
omits  the  first  sort  entirely,  and  says  at 
random:  " Therefore  Piltachns,  one  of  the 
seaveu  sages,  sette^t  downe  three  kinds  of 
marriages.  The  first  of  love,  the  second  of 
labour,  the  third  of  griefe.  As  touching  the 
firsts  Tberaistocles  tearroes  it  a  charitable 
conjunction,  unitie,  and  societie  of  them  that 
are  good."  These  latter  are  Primaudaye's 
words,  but  he  does  not  attribute  them  to 
Theraistocles,  whose  name  appears,  indeed, 
on  that  page  f4!).3),  but  in  a  wholly  different 
connexion.  Primaudaye  then  (quotes  the 
comic  poet  Plautus  "  that  in  marriage  a  man 
must  take  his  wife  by  the  ears,  and  not  by 
the  fingers."  Greene  makes  another  jumble, 
quoting  this  correctly  from  Primaudaye  in 
words,  bub  not  in  application.  And  then  he 
borrows  "Olimpias,  the  mother  of  Alexander." 
and  makes  her  say  other  than  she  did. 
Greene's  medley  is  very  quaint. 

Primaudaye  (chap,  xlvii.  p.  510)  gives  ua 
the  headings  of  the  tale  of  Ninas  and  Semi- 
ramis,  the  wife  of  Menon.  Greene  developes 
thiei  in  good  story-telling  form  in  'The  Tale 
of  Cosimo'  in  his  'Farewell  to  FolUe' 
(ix.  298).  Immediately  after  the  passage 
about  Menon,  who  is  quoted  as  an  example 
"Of  the  particular  dutio  of  a  Husband 
towards  his  Wife,"  Primaudaye  gives  the 
cases  of  Marcus  Lepidus,  who,  "  being  driven 
into  banishment,  lieard  that  his  wife  was 
married  to  another,  whereupon  he  died  for 
sorrow";  and  "Sylanus  [Sylaua  in  Greene], 
a  Romane,  [^wlio]  slue  himself  after  his  wife, 
whom  he  singular!)'  loved,  was  taken  from 
him  and  given  to  Xero  the  Emperor'* (pp.  &10, 
Oil).  Greene  puts  these  two  examples 
into  Menon's  mouth  (p.  .113),  showing  where 
he  drew  his  story  from.  There  is  a  good  deal 
in  common  l)etween  this  tale  of  Co»imo's  and 
'  Penelope's  Secotid  Tale  '  in  *  Penelope's 
Web '  (v,  203).  Greenes  finish  to  his  Ule  of 
Semiramis  and  Ninus  has  no  counterpart  in 
their  known  history,  I  Iwdieve,  At  any  rate, 
I  ho  draws  it  from  Prinmiidnye  ;  it  is  the  story,

Tfiis  would  servo  for  an  argutnent  to 
prefix  to  the  play.  It  is  worth  noting 
that  Greeno'a  name  Acomab  (Aclimat), 
oonTenientlv  altered  for  metric  purpose**, 
would  easily  ariue  out  of  Trimauaaye's 
Aohmat.  hy  a  flight  abraition  in  the  limb  of 
the  old  "  h,''  whose  base  is  nearly  closed. 
Aod  no  doubt  Oreene'-t  copy  waa  a  well- 
thumbed  uiie.  I  have  not  studied  this  ^lay 
for  the  purpose  of  the  prei^ent  e^nay,  8ince 
proae  in  ilH  object.  Probably  Primaudayo 
will  be  found  in  it.  I  just  note  one  pa^.^iage, 
that  of  the  tyrant  Dionyaius,  Damocles,  and 
the  dword  suspended  "  ouely  by  one  liaire  of 
a  horne  taile "  over  his  head  (Primaudaye, 
chap.  Iviii.  p.  638),  which  occurs  in  'Selimun' 
(11.  770-8.1),  where  the  la»it  line  is  "  Fastened 
up  onely  by  a  horse's  hairo.''  The  relation 
by  Priinaudaye  may  have  auggcated  the  plot 
to  Oreono. 

I  have  now  finiMhed  my  review  of  the  rela- 
ttonships  Ijetween  theno  two  writers.  1  Bud 
one  nienlioii  of  T.  IJ's  '  French  Academy ' 
ia  Nicholas  Storojenko's  'Investigation'  of 
Greene's  })rose,  in  vol.  i.  (p.  154),  prefixed  to 
Orosart's  tMJilion.  But  it  is  so  very  mis- 
leading as  to  l>e  erroneous,  and  speaks  of  the 
work  as  of  dale  l&Ofi,  without  any  mention 
of  its  being  a  translation,  or  even  of  De  la 
Primaudaye's  name.  It  is  to  the  effect  that 
there  is  a  reference  in  the  preface  of  that 
eflitioD  (which  I  have  not  seen)  to  Greene's 
•RepenUnce.'  H.  C.  Hart.

The  expression  is  somewhat  elliptical,  but  ellipsis 
is  not  unusual  with  Shakespeare. 

Shakespeare  continually  uses  the  word  "Klasa" 
in  the  sense  of  a  mirror.    Ue  uses  the  adjective 
"  glassy "  in  only  three  other  places,  in  each  case 
meaning  "  like  a  mirror. ''    They  are  as  follows : 
As  plays  the  sun  upon  the  glassy  streams. 

'  I.  Henry  VI.',  V.  iii.  62. 
That  shows  his  hoar  leaves  in  the  glassy  stream. 
'  Uamlet,'  iV.  vii.  168.

*  Lucrece,'  line  102. 
Isaac  Hcll  Platt. 
Wallingford,  Penn.,  March  2, 1906. 

Let  me  add  that  in  the  Revised  Version  the 
passage  quoted  from  Corinthians  is  rendered, 
"  For  now  we  see  in  a  mirror,  darkly  ;  but 
then  face  to  face."  This  seems  to  bring  the 
mirror  a  little  more  "  face  to  face." 

I.  H.  P. 

Clarke's  explanation  is,  I  believe,  gene- 
rally accepted  as  plausible  : — 

"That  essential  nature  of  man  which  is  like 
glass  from  its  faculty  to  reQect  the  image  of  others 
in  its  own,  and  from  its  fragility,  its  liability  to 
injury  or  destruction." 

Schlegel  and  Tieck  translate  the  phrase 
"sprod'  wie  Olas  "—brittle  as  glass— which 
indicates  the  German  acceptation.  Indi- 
vidually, I  cannot  help  thinking  it  an 
instance  of  anacoluthia  on  the  part  of  the 
dramatist— of  which  there  are  others  spora- 
dically occurring  in  his  works  —  especially 
when  taken  along  with  the  immediate 
context,  Shakespeare  having  perhaps  in 
mind  James  i.  23,  "  like  unto  a  man  behold- 
ing hi.i  natural  face  in  a  glass."  So  in 
'  Hamlet,'  IV.  vii.,  the  Queen,  when  do- 
scribing  Ophelia's  death,  says  : — 

There  is  a  willow  grows  aslant  a  brook. 
That  shows  his  hoar  leaves  in  the  glassy  stream  ; 

and  in    'Lear,'  II.  ii.,   the  epithet  "glass- 

fazing  "  is  among  a  score  of  others  applied 
y  Kent  to  Oswald.    This  would  favour  the 
following  rendering  of  the  passage  : — 

Man,  proud  man, 
Drest  in  a  little  brief  authority, 
Most  ignorant  of  what  he's  most  assur'd. 
His  glassy  essence  [i.e.,  his  image  seen  in  a  glass, 
or  viewing  his  image  in  a  glass],  like  an  angry 
ape. 
Plays  such  fantastic  tricks  before  high  heaven 
As  make  the  angels  weep 

The  sentence  in  question,  which  is  clearly 
elliptical,  thus  becomes  intelligible  to  the 
•ive/age  playgoer,  an  entity-  on  yi\\Q4e  \ieV\a.\l,

lB«eting  OD  tb«  qa6»Uoa  of  "the  {ira 


bility  of  a  steam  voyage  across  the  Atlantic." 
Tho  writer  join«  issue  with  the  doctor,  as,  in 
his  opinion,  even  if  a  Hti'Hmer  could  bo  built 
that  would  carry  Muflicient  coal  to  last  out 
tho  voyage  across  tho  Atlantic,  the  feat 
could  not  be  aocomnlished  in  one  trip, 
because  the  flues  would  get  so  choked  with 
soot,  iic,  and  the  inside  of  the  boiler  so 
much  coated  with  incrustration  of  salt,  that 
it  would  l)c  found  necessary  to  put  out  the 
fires  in  mid-ocean  ami  allow  the  boiler  to 
coul,  so  as  to  enable  men  to  enter  the  Sues  to 
clean  them. 

The  name  of  tlie  eage  who  wrote  this  is  not 
disclosed;  but  even  while  the  learned  gentle- 
men were  discussing  the  various  points 
involved  in  the  prol^iem,  a  company  of 
merchants  were  ouilding,  at  Bristol,  a 
steamer  of  1.200  tons  burden  to  navigate 
•Hreotly  between  that  port  and  New  York. 
Thin  was  the  SS.  Great  Western,  which 
sailed  on  8  April,  1838,  and   made  ner  first 

()a«sage  across  the  Atlantic  in  13^  days.  A 
ew  liours  before  her  another  steamer,  the 
Sirius,  had  arrived  tliere  from  the  Cove  of 
Cork  (now  Queenstown). 

Tho  successful  trips  of  tho  Savannah  in 
1819  and  of  the  Royal  William  in  1833  were 
evidently  forgotten  or  ignored.  With 
reference  to  these  cf.  "The  Atlantic  Ferry,' 
by  Arthur  J.  Maginnis  (London,  1892),  who 
does  not  mention  the  learned  discussion  at 
the  British  Association  meeting.

"JtiME"  V.  "Rhyme."  — May  I  ask  the 
authority  for  the  new  spelling  of  this  word

tionaries of  the  pre.sent  age  that  rime  ia 
nearer  the  O.  Enfij.  and  the  A.S.  But  if  our 
current  English  is  to  be  thus  judged,  con- 
demned, and  executed,  we  shall  have  lost  our 
motber-toogue,  and  may  p«s8  sadly  to  the 
shades.  Srnex. 

[Thu  spelling  rim«  is  not  new,  but  old.  Prof*

perhaps  not  ao  soon."  The  First  Folio  of  Shake*

this  form  is  also  used  by  Coleridge  in  The  Rime

Flaus.— I  shall  be  glad  of  references  to  any 
authoritative  information  on  flags  and  their 
uso,  particularly  with  respect  to  Irish  and 
Scotcti  IliiKs.  Although  Irish  and  Scotch 
tiagn  (socaritHi)aro  continually  in  use,  I  am 
told  they  do  not  (legally)  exist.  Are  any 
oHicial  oidors  in  existence  to  regulate  the 
use  of  flags?  H.  T.  C.

RoMttT  Harlky.  Earl  or  OxFonnfm'^'S 
l».  SfOe,  317;  V.  390/ —I  beg  to  thank   Mb 


pedigree  which  he  has  compiled,  and  which 
you  Kindly  forwanlod  to  me. 

I  notice  that  Mk.  Bostock  gives  the  name 
of  the  sister  of  Uichard  Jenuinga  who  married 
Francis  Hill  oa  Mary. 

I  am  aware  that  the  writer  of  the  arUole 
in  the  'D.N.B.,'  xxxvi,  410, on  Abigail,  Lady 
.Maaham,  atatea  that  her  mother's  name  wa« 
Mary. 

A.  B.  U.  at  i«*  S.  viii.  57  (not  iii.  67,  oa 
given  in  Mk.  RoHTOCK'a  comniunication).  and 
R.  H.  E.  H,  at  8*''  8.  iii.  ;}28,ttlao  npeiik  of  her 
aa  Mary  Jeuninga  ;  but  I  cannot  trace  any 
authority  for  the  statement,  nor  can  I  even 
find  that  Sir  John  Jenyna  had  a  daughter  of 
that  name. 

Sarah,  Ducheaa  of  Marlborough,  in 
'Account  of  the  Conduct.'  «lic.,  1742,  p.  177, 
aaya  that  "Mra.  Maaham  woa  the  daughter 
of  one  Hill,  a  merchant  in  the  City,  by  a 
aintor  of  my  Father "  ;  and  in  a  letter  to 
Bishop  Burnet,  given  in  the  '  Private  Corre- 
apondence  of  the  Duchess  of  Marlborough,' 
1838,  ii.  112,  Sarah  wrote  :  — 

"This  woman  [Abieail]  waa  a  daajihler  of  my 
Fatlier'a  aiater.      My  Fulher  h*d   in   all   two-and- 

Iwenty    brothers     and     liatera one    of     them 

married  thia  Mr.  Hill,  who  had  aomo  buainesa  in 
the  Uity,  rather  aa  a  merchant  or  proprietor,  and 
waa  aome  way  re1ate<l  to  Mr.  Harlcy,  and  by  pro* 
feasiou  an  Anabaptiat." 

Mra.  Col vi lie,  who  harl  acceaa  to  the 
Marlborough  papers,  merely  records  in  her 
'  Ducheaa  Sarah,'  p.  3bO,  that  a  daughter  of 
Sir  John  Jenyna  married  a  Hill. 

It  would  thorefore  seem  aa  if  neither  Sarah 
nor  her  descendant  Mrs.  Colville  knew  the 
name  of  Richard  Jenntnga'a  aiater  who 
marrie<l  Francis  Hill. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  late  Mr.  O.  Steiu- 
man  Steinman,  in  hia  'Althorp  Memoirs,' 
1809-W),  which,  if  I  recollect  rightly— I  have 
not  the  volnroe  before  me  at  the  moment — 
were  compiled  from  material  supplied  by 
Lord  S|ienoer,  states  at  p.  56  that  it  waa 
Elizabeth  Jenninga  who  became  Mra,  Hill. 

At  10""  S.  ii.  373  I  pointed  to  the  difference 
of  opinion  existing  in  regard  to  the  correct 
name  of  Abigail  Hilra  mother  aa  an  inaUnoe 
of  how  even  the  boat  authoritiea  aoraotimea 
differ. 

In  view  of  the  above  discrepancy  it  would 
inlereat  me  extremely  t<> learn  Mr.  Bobtock'b 
authority  for  entering  the  name  aa  Mary  in 
in  his  chart  podigroc*. 

The  nwligreo  by  A.  B.  R.  at  8*^  S.  viii.  57,

^r  Mr  H.  D'Avekey  at  2"'  S.  viii.  0  falls  into 

the  error  of  ealliug  the  mother  of  AbiKnil 

Hill  a  grand  danghter  of  Sir  John  Jeiiyns, 

instead  of  a  daughter. 

Ma.  BosTOcK  is  quite  correct  in  slating 
that  Sir  E<iwanl  liarley  waa  baptized  ai 
Wigmore,  21  Oct.,  1(124 ;  but  the  Ktateiuont 
given  in  the  pedigree  I  compiled,  that  ho 
was  M.P.  for  CO.  Hereford  in  1U4U,  although, 
in  view  of  Mr.  liosTocK'a  stAtornejii, 
apuareDtly  incredible,  is  also  accurate. 
Collins,  1741,  iii,  records  that  Sir  Ed^vani 
Harley  weis  baptized  in  1624,  wan  knight  of 
the  shire  for  Hereford  in  the  lauit  Parliament 
of  Charles  I.,  wan  wounded  in  battle,  1642, 
and  bore  a  musket  ball  f>8  years.  In  1644  he 
waa  made  Governor  of  Monmouth. 

"The  last  Parliament  of  Charles  I."  evi 
dently  refern  to  the  Long  Parliament,  which 
a^iiembled  in  1640  and  was  dissolved  in 
1660.  Charles  having  been  executed  30  Jan., 
1649  ;  and  in  JSliarpe's  *  Peerage,'  ii.,  it  is 
stated  that  ''Sir  Edward  Harley,  born  1624, 
•was  M.P.  CO.  Hereford,  1640.''  Apparently  in 
those  days  a  man  could  be  elected  to  a  seat 
in  Parliament  before  attaining  the  age  of 
twenty-one. 

I  am  unable  to  answer  R.  H.  E.  H.'s  first 
and  second  questions,  referred  to  in  Me. 
Bostock's  concluding  paragrapli,  although 
I  hope  to  see  them  replied  to  by  some  otiier 
contributor  to  *  N.  Jb  Q.' ;  but  as  regards 
ttie  branch  of  the  Hill  family  to  which 
William  and  Francis  Hill  belonged,  they 
traced  their  descent,  according  to  the  pedi- 
gree pven  by  Mr.  H.  D'Aveney  at  a^-'S.  viii. 
10  (in  which,  however,  Francis's  father  is 
called  Thomas,  instead  of  Williaui),  to  Sir 
Robert  Hill,  of  the  family  of  Do  la  Hill  of 
Kilmintou.  Devon,  Judge  of  the  Common 
Pleas  under  Henry  IV.,  ic,  and  High 
Sheriff  for  Devon  1427.  Unfortunately,  the 
authority  for  this  pedigree  is  not  given.

Macaulay's  "New  Zealandkr"  (lo^"'  S.

in  saying  that  Macaulav's  reference  was  to 
London  Bridge,  althougn  it  is  obvious  that 
if  a  traveller  from  New  Zealand  wished  t<i 
sketch  the  ruins  of  St.  Pa«l'n,  he  would 
obtain  a  much  better  view  from  Blackfriars 
Bridge.  The  point  is  not,  however,  relevant 
to  the  issue.  In  the  raagarino  article  of 
1745  the  "Briton  of  the  future"  did  not 
take  his  «tarid  on  the  broken  arch  of  atiy 
bridge,  but  was  de.scriljed  as  walking  Jiloug

"Places''  are  to  be  met  with  in  moat  of 
the  older  cities  of  the  U.S.A.,  but  nowhere 
eUe  to  the  Mamo  extent  as  in  New  York, 
where  the  title  is  applied  both  to  a  terrace 
of  fine  houses,  such  &»  Astor  or  University 
Place,  and  a  nhort  street,  .such  as  WaJihingtoa, 
Clinton,  or  Waverley  Place.  All  of  thewj 
date  from  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
or  tlio  first  quarter  of  the  nineteenth.  I  have 
alwnya  understood  that  the  name  was  im- 
ported into  America  from  France,  m  the 
influence  of  French  architecture  i«  very 
marked  in  many  of  the  houses  erected  in 
New  Vork  duiing  that  period.  Previous  to 
the  war  of  1812  many  American  cities,  in- 
cluding New  York,  Philadelphia,  lioston,  (fcc, 
were  said  to  have  been  intiuonccd  a  great 
deal  hy  the  stately  buildings  at  that  time  in 
course  of  erection  at  Bath,  Clifton,  Chelten- 
ham, (tc.  Consequently,  some  of  the  "Placed" 
in  tlie  former  cities  may  owe  their  existence 
to  those  which  were  so  fashionable  in  Eng- 
land. Rodney  Place  and  Savile  Place,  Clifton, 
are  said  to  have  their  counterparts  in  New 
York  ;  but  already  the  erections  of  that  era 
are  fatit  giving  way  to  the  enormous  *'  bky- 
aorapora    of  our  own  day.

A  few  miles  from  Hastings,  and  not  far 
from  Ashburiiham  I^lace (already  mentioned), 
are  Krede  i'lace  and  Ore  Place,  whose  present 
mansions  are  descrtbe<l  in  local  histories  and 

f^uide- books  as  being  on  the  site  of  manor 
louses  dating  from  the  fourteenth  century. 
The  name  "Place"  abounds  in  Sussex — 
Fairlight  Place,  I'irle  Place,  Isfield  Place, 
Catsfield  Place,  Friston  Place,  Laughtoa '.

At  Salisbury  each  "  place "  or  tenement 
area  paid  a  fixed  kuiii  to  the  bishop.  "  Place" 
ihurH  seems  o<:)uiva]ent  to  "liaga"  at  Wal- 
lingfoid.  Here  in  Devon  the  lord's  house  on 
a  manor  is  in  several  instances  known  aa 
"  Place- barton  "  :  for  instancy  at  Honiton 
and  Utter  ton.  I  mention  these  uses  of  the

The  derivation  of  Catcaton  is  apr""  "  '^■" 
unknown,  and  the  various  lopoKi 
writers  seem  to  have  refrained  from  k>"  ---"k 
at  it.  The  street,  in  conjunction  with  Lad 
Lane  and  Maiden  Lane,  its  western  continua- 
tions, was  denominated  Oreshiim  Street  in 
1845,  "  to  suit  the  convenience  of  the  postal 
authorities."  Wii-liam  McMubray. 

Besides  Stow,  see  Wheatley  and  Cunning;' 
ham,  '  London  Past  and  Present,'  vol.  i.  p.  330, 
where  it  is  also  mentioned  "  that  a  street  of  a 
gimilar  name  is  at  Manchester."  Perliaps 
some  Manchester  reader  can  give  the  origin 
of  the  name  there.  Axdkkw  Oliver. 

Perhaps  it  is  in  the  Creed  Collection  of 
Tavern  Signs  (Brit.  Mus.  Lib.)  that  I  have 
seen  the  statement  that  the  "Gresh&m," 
No.  58,  Gresham  Street,  wa«  formerly  known 
ft8the"Cat."  Is  it  not  probalile,  therefore, 
if  this  be  the  case,  that  the  sign  gave  its 
name  to  the  street  1

Custis  correctly  in  the  later  editions.  A 
family  of  this  name  was  in  Dublin  in  1731, 
carrying  on  the  business  of  shueniakiM's,  and 
later  trading  as  sadillers.  In  a  list  of  twelve 
Custis  marriage  licences  in  Dublin  the  wife's 
name  also  wa.s  Custis  in  four  instances.

CHEY^^5  Walk  :  China  Walk  (10"'  S.  v. 
245,  312,  375,  41.5).— I  thought  Mr.  Holt»EN 
MacMichael  and  Mr.  Aleck  Abrahams  had 
made  it  sutlicicntly  dear  that  this  name  is 
due  not  to  a  village  in  Buckinghamshire,  but 
to  the  family  who  held  the  inatior  of  Chelsea 
fi-oin  16.57  until  1712.  1  am  glad  to  have  the 
authority  of  PuoK.  Skkat  for  the  etymology 
of  the  name,  but  I  am  confident  that  the 
name  of  the  village  is  also  duo  to  the  same 
family  having  settled  there  in  earlier  limes. 
The  manor  of  Cheneys— or  loelhampstead- 
Cheneys,  as  it  is  proj^jrl  v  called  —  pas.sed  from 
the  Cheynes  as  tar  bfick  as  1494,  in  accord- 
ance with  the  will  of  Agnes,  Lady  Cheyne, 
the  heir  taking  the  manor  of  Cogenho, 
Northanta,  in  exchange.  I  fauc^',  but  am 
not  sure,  that  there  was  another  family 
whoso  name  was  connected  with  Iselhamp- 
stcad  before  the  Cheynes  came.  Mr.  Ma«- 
Miohael  is  misUken  if  he  supposes  that 
Ghesham  Bois  was  an  older  seat  of  the 
Cheynes  than  Iselliampxtead.  This  manor 
came  to  them  tliruugh  ili«  marriage  of  the

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


(tlaoed  by  the  aide  of  the  door,  at  the  «tKht 
evel — a  great  improvement,  (or  the  majoritv 
of  those  that  have  beea  put  up  are  ao  higri 
as  to  be  barely  readable. 

Upon  the  house  now  known  at  No.  110, 
Hallam  Street  (formerly  Charlotte  Street), 
Portland  Place,  a  tablet  hax  i)een  j)laoed  re- 
cording that  Danle  Gabriel  llosMelti  was 
born  there,  his  father  betnK  a  teitclier  of 
Italian.  Young  Kosiietti  wax  .fomelhin}^  of 
ail  infant  prodigy,  for  we  learn  that  liiu  Brut 
poem  "  was  written  in  his  own  handwriting 
towards  the  age  of  five,"  but  his  brotiioiaddn, 
"  He  may  li&ve  been  juat  six — rather  than 
five — but  I  am  not  certain."  His  tirst  picture 
was  of  his  rocking  horse;  this  U  saiil  to  have 
been  attempted  "  at  the  age  of  about  four." 
Drawing  had  a  rare  fascination  for  him,  and 
once  having  started,  he  never  dropped  the 
notion,  his  brother  stating  that  he  could  not 
remember  a  time  "  when  it  was  not  under- 
stood in  the  family  that  Gabriel  meant  to 
be  a  painter."  Drawings — many  of  them 
truly  recognized  as  very  childish  efforts- 
appeared  in  rapid  saccession.  In  1836  the 
family  removed  to  No.  50  in  the  same  street, 
and  after  the  midsummer  holidays  young 
Dante,  then  nearing  his  ninth  year,  was  Brat 
sent  to  school,  his  previous  education  having 
been  home-given.  His  career  is  well  known, 
and  need  not  be  recalled  here. 

Lovers  of  the  art  of  John  Constable  will 
bo  glad  to  know  that  the  Loudon  County 
Council  has  recognized  his  worth  by  placing 
a  tablet  upon  No.  76,  Charlotte  Street,  Fitz- 
roy  Square,  where  the  great  exponent  of 
]andacaf)e  lived  and  died.  He  began  his 
residence  there  in  1822.  and  from  a  letter 
dated  31  October  in  that  year  we  gather 
that  he  had  many  dlHicullies  in  getting  the 
alterations  and  repairs  satisfactorily  carried 
out,  and  ho  adds  : — 

"I  have  not  the  large  painting  room  into  excel- 
lent order  :  it  is  liglit,  airy,  sweet,  and  warm.  I  at 
one  time  despaired!  of  atiaininR  either  of  thote 
qualilies.  I  liave  now  two  six-footers  in  hand— one 
of  which  I  shall  «end  to  the  Gallery— at  20(V." 

Five  years  later  he  seems  to  have  tired  of 
his  quarters  here,  and  to  have  longed  to  "see 
nature  "and  to  be  "out  of  the  way  of  idle 
callers";  and  in  addition  his  wife's  health 
caused  him  great  anxiety,  so  he  movefl  to  a 
house  at  Well  Walk,  Harapstead,  and  let  off 
a  portion  of  the  Charlotte  Street  residence. 
In  November,  1828,  his  wife  died  at  Hamp- 
stead,  and,  saddened  by  the  loss,  "he 
returned  with  his  children  to  his  house  in 
Charlotte  Street,  but  retained  the  one  in 
Well  Walk  as  an  occasional  residence."  From

hamorouii  faucie"  Let  me  notice  here  that 
Menaplion  is  the  name  of  a  Persian  lord  in 
Marlowe's  play.  This  is  an  intereNtiiig 
passage  of  Oroene'a,  since  it  is  a  direct 
quotation  from  the  'Second  Part  of  Tambur- 
laine,' Act  I.  9c.  iiL,  which  beRius  :  "Now, 
bright  Zenocrate,  the  world's  fair  eye, 
Whose  beam9  illuminate  the  lamps  of 
Jieaveo."  If  'Menaphon'  appeared  earlier 
than  1  .''>8d  (a«  man v  authorities  assert),  then 
•o  did  (he  secona  part  of  Marlowe's  play. 
But  what  about  the  latter  statement  with 
regard  to  Tamburlaine  t  It  is  entirely  con- 
^^rary  to  Marlowe's  version.  Even  admitting 
^Hbat  Oreene  ia  capable  of  repro<lucing  what 
^'ne  reads  in  a  very  di»torte(J  fai^hion.  this 
I  cannot  apply  here.  Greene  had  almost 
I  nnroly  soon  the  plav.  lie  was  certainly 
\  f&miliiir  with  it.  1  apprehend  that  here, 
although  quoting  Marlowe,  ho  does  not  refer 
to  his  play  as  that  which  he  reads  (not 
"»ecs"),  but  alludes  to  some  authority  on 
Timour'a  history,  with  the  express  intention 
of  rejeclinj^  Afarlowe's  conclusion.  Who  is 
that  authority'  ?  Xot  I'rimaudaye,  cerlaiid  v, 
I  suppose  it  is  not  Menia,  since  we  aio  told

"  reading  "  somewhere  else.  With  regard  to 
Bajazet's  iron  cage,  a  particular  discredited 
by  some  modern  historians,  Gibbon's  re- 
searches seem  to  establish  its  truth. 

Primaudaye  has  two  passages  concerning 
Tamburlaine.  Hi.s  spelling  of  the  name  is 
that  of  Marlowe,  witn  the  "b";  Mexia's  ia 
not.  Printaudaye's  passages  are  brief  enough 
to  be  quoted,  and  as  the  latter  is  the 
moio  im|X)rtant,  I  give  it  first.  It  is  from 
chap.  xliv.  '  Of  Fortune  '  (p.  476),  which,  as 
I  liave  already  uoteiJ,  is  bodily  used  up  by 
Greene,  the  passage  I  am  about  to  quote 
being  the  one  remarkable  omision  :  —

"  ijngrot Tambnrlaine the  man  that 

in  the  forehead  of  his  fortune  Bears  figu  res  of 
renown  and  miracle"  (II.  i.  2-4).  "Now,

approved  fortunes  all  my  hope"  (II.  iii.  1-2). 

"  Bajazet Such   a  star   hath  influence  in 

his  sword  Aa  rules  the  skies  and  counter- 
mands the  gods"  (V.  ii.  231-2).  "  Otrnnes.

martial  sword  of  mighty  Tamburlaine.  Will

28-30).      "Tamburlaine That    troadeth 

Fortune  underneath  his  feet  "  (III.  iv.  4:i-52). 
It  is  an  essence  of  Marlowe's  Tamburlaine 
that  he  is  invincible  because  he  commands 
Fortune.    It  is  his  boast. 

"A  peasant's  son  and  keeping  cattel."—

Lakontaisk'h  Milkmaid. — A  story  popu- 
ly  current  in  the  present  day  in  Syria  is 
nx  Kiven  by  Mr.  Henry  Minor  Huxley. 
Tliero  waa  a  recluse  at  the  house  of  a  rich 
man,  who  every  dAV  gave  him  a  little  clarified 
butter  and  a  little  honey.  One  day  the 
recluKe  was  flitting  on  ids  mat,  collecting  the 
butter  and  the  huney  in  ajar.  He  Haid,  "I 
iiiiall  sell  a  jar  of  thin  butter  and  honey  and 
buy  a  Mho-lamb,  and  tlii<4  she  lamb  will  bear 
another,  and  this  one  annther,  until  they 
multiply.  Then  I  .iihall  sell  them  and  lie 
rich.  I  shall  marry  the  dauglttor  of  sucli- 
and-HUch  a  merchant,  and  I  uliall  have  ouch 
a  wedding  as  there  never  whm  liefore  ;  and  1 
shall  invito  the  merchants  and  the  nohIei»» 
and  I  shall  have  wedding  fcAKtH.  And  after- 
wards I  shall  have  a  son  ;  and  when  he  grows 
np,  I  shall  teach  him  philosophy  and  engi- 
neering, and  if  he  is  diaooedient  to  me  I  Hhall 
take  tlUH  stick  and  boat  him  with  iu^  He 
raiHod  his  stick  to  beat  his  son  with  it.  The 
stick  struck  the  jar  of  honey  and  broke  it. 
and  the  butter  and  honey  fell  on  his  beard 
(Jounuil  of  the  Anuriean  Ot-ienlal  Society, 
1»J2,  xxiii.  263). 

This,  it  will  bn  seen,  is  one  more  variant 
of  that  much-travelled  tale  to  which  Lafon- 
taine  has  given  its  must  famuust  totm  in 
European  literature.  Max  Midler  took  it  a>i 
an  object  lewwui  for  his  study  of  the  migration 
uf  fablefi,  as  the  readers  of  his  '  Chip.s  from  a 
Qornian  Workshop '  will  well  remember.

made  use  of.    I  have  never  seen  this  before

for  some  reason,  always  omitted.

Geokfrkv  dk  Lusignan.— InCharterRolUl 
Hen.  III.,  M.  13  is  inspexiraus  of  the  charter 
by  which  "Edward  our  first-born  gave  to  our 
beloved  brother  and  faithful  Qalfridua  de 
I>eziniaco  160^  worth  of  land  in  England, 
140/.  in  Ireland,  and  200/.  sterling  yearly." 
In  this  gift  was  the  manor  of  Paunlon,  now 
Great  Ponton,  near  Grantham,  and  usually 
included  in  that  lordship ;  it  had  been 
granted  in  1252  to  Joiin  de  Geres,  being  then 
escheat  of  tlie  land  of  the  Normans,  forfeited 
by  John,  son  of  Luke  dc  Gran  tmesuil  (Charter 
Roll  36  Hen.  HI.).  In  1275  Galfridus  de 
Lesiniaco  was  holding  this  manor  (Hundred 
Ilolla,  vol.  i.  p.  392) ;  on  10  Nov.,  1295,  it  was 
taken  into  tne  king's  hands,  and  remained 
escheated  1296  and  1297,  because  Galfridus 
de  Lysiniaco  was  an  alien  of  tho  French 
allegiance  (Chancel lor'.s  Roll,  29  Ed.  I ).  In 
1305  Geoffrey  wished  to  lease  lands  in 
Norfolk,  and  the  jury  reported  that,  inlei- 
alia,  there  would  remain  to  him  tho  manor 
of  Paunton,  worth  30/.  a  year  (Inqais.  a.q.d. 
File  Ivi.).  In  1317-18  it  was  recorded  that 
John,  Earl  Warren,  lord  of  Grantham,  Ijad 
taken  this  manor  into  his  hands  l^ecause 
Drogo  de  Merlon,  who  hod  received  it  by 
hereditary  descent,  after  the  death  of 
Galfridus  de  Lesiniaco,  was  an  alien;  and 
that  he  had  unjustly  restored  it,  I  July, 
1315,  to  the  king  a.s  part  of  Grantham  town 
(Inquis.  a.q.d.   11  Ed.  II.).    Grantham    was 

given  to  Adomar  de  Valence,  Earl  of  Pem- 
roke,  who  died  1324;  after  his  death, 
Edmund  de  Assheby  made  return  of  lOGjf  8<Z 
ferra  of  two  parts  of  tlie  manor  of  Paunton, 
and  did  not  respond  for  the  third  part 
because  Petronilla  de  Suylli,  Clountass  of 
Dreux,  was  holding  it  in  dower  after  the 
death  of  Galfridus  de  Lusiniaco,  formerly 
lord  of  that  manor,  and  her  husband 
(Ministers'  Accounts,  913/23.  lft-19  Ed,  IT). 

Can  any  correspondent  kindly  na.\  whether 
these  are  references  to  one  long-liven  Geoffrey, 
or  to  twoor  more  of  that  nameT  If  tho  latter, 
what  wore  the  dates  of  their  deaths '(  Also, 
what  more  is  known  of  retronilla,  tho  widow,

The  'N.ED.'  gives  no  instance  of  "ebb" 
moaning  " llow,"  or  even  "tide"  generally. 
Perhaps  the  sentence  is  not  quoted  quite 
accurately.  Tlie  tide  in  the  river  would

of  tithes,  there  was  a  curious  payment 
made  in  this  parish  called  "  Cera  Panis. '  It 
was  a  payment  of  2ii.  per  house  every  three 
years.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  parish,  for 
ease  of  collection,  was  divided  into  three 
parts,  one  part  being  called  on  for  payment 
every  year.  Is  anything  known  of  the 
original  meaning  of  the  term  or  the  object 
of  the  levy  ?  T.  N.  Postlktbwaitb.

"Badin"'  in  the  country  brooks,  "becks,  and 
»ickB"  was  in  the  hot  months  a  pleasure  not 
to  be  foregone,  and  the  lads— and  often 
laiises— made  for  the  brookaides  as  soon  as 
out  of  school,  stripped,  and  went  in  "holus- 
bolus,"  and,  after  a  good  splash,  ran  along 
the  banks  to  dry  before  dressing. 

An  old  woodman  I  know,  who  has  spent 
more  tlian  tifty  years  amongst  the  growing 
and  felling  timber,  has  observed  that  when 
there  is  winter  in  spring,  and  running  into 
May,  the  ash  and  the  ma^'  begin  to  oome  out 
together,  the  ash  leaf  being  the  "  tend  or  est " 
leaf  he  knows.  The  ash  leaf  is  also  the  first 
to  fall  wlien  autumn  frosts  begin  to  nip. 

As  regards  the  old  idea  that  baa  luck 
follows  the  bringing  of  may-blossom  into  a 
house,  because  tiio  Howors  throw  out  "a 
death  smell,"  few  take  any  notice  of  it 
nowadays,  and  children  for  the  most  part 
bring  in  tne  may  with  other  wild  fiowen.

Sixteen  Bishops  consecrated  at  One

right  in  his  conjecture  that  the  number  of 
bishops  consecrated  by  the  Pope  on  25  Feb- 
ruary was  fourteen,  and  not  sixteen.  I  have 
five  cuttings  from  various  papers,  all  of  them 
giving  the  number  as  sixteen  ;  and  a  corre- 
spondent very  kindly  points  out  how  the 
mistake  in  all  probability  occurred  : — 

"  The  date  of  the  Conaislory  wm  '1\  Feb.,  that  of

247,  310,  355,  433  ;  v.  393).— A  correspondent 
of  '  N.  <fe  C^.'  Minds  mo  an  extract  from  '  Dan- 
monii  OrientalflN  lUustres:  or,  the  Worthier 
of  Devon,'  by  John  Prince,  Loudon,  1810 
(p.  202),  from  wliicit  it  would  appear  that 
there  is  no  foundation  for  the  ntatement 
that  the  phraie  quoted  i.i  inscribed  on  the 
tomb  of  Iviward  (I'ourtenav,  ICarl  of  Duvon, 
at  Padua.  1  may  now  arlci  what  particulars 
1  have  gleaned  on  the  subject. 

An  inquiry  in  T  P.'s  Weekly  (15  April, 
1904,  p.  518)  elicited  the  reply  03  May, 
p.  650)  that  the  phra.se  "is  by  Carlyle,"  bat 
no  reference  wa*  given.  In  The  Girl'*  Own 
Fatter  (1  Aug.,  1896,  p.  704)  it  is  Htated  that 
"  the  lines  quoted  by  Prof,  lleury  Drumniond 

il  do  not  know  where  he  quotes  them,  but 
do  not  think  ho  namea  his  authority  if  ho 
doex  quote  them]  are  from  Marcus  Aurelius— 
•  I  shall  pass  through  this  world  but  once.' " 
Ah  regards  Marcus  Aurelius,  I  find  the  name 
idea  {i.e.,  tiiat  a  man  lives  but  once)  in 
Long's  translatiott  (Uell  ii  Sons,  1880),  pp.  82 
and  180  ;  but  this  can  scarcely  be  the  origin 
of  the  phrase  sought  for.  Possibly  it  is  a 
translation,  with  a<lditionN.  of  part  of  a  line 
in  Goethe's  play  of  'Clavigo,'  Act  I.  sc.  i. 
(Leipzig,  1774,  p.  8);—

The  manner  of  the  old  lady's  transition 
must  tlierefure  have  been  either  "in  a  pufl^" 
i>.,  Mhe  pa-itied  away  suddenly,  as  a  pufifof 
wind,  or  "in  a  liufF,"  ie,  she  had  taken 
umbrage  at  something  in  the  moments  of 
dissolution.  It  is.  of  course,  very  sad  to  hear 
of  any  one  dying  in  this  frame  of  mind  ;  bat 
at  the  same  time  it  muitt  have  been  a  very 
spirited  old  lady  who  was  capable  of  it.  and 
one  hopet  that  the  husband  had  done  nothiiMj 
to  embitter  her  last  rooroonts.  "  To  be  hafiM 
or  "  to  take  the  hufT"  certainly  meana  to  be 
offended,  and  an  instance  occurs  somewhere 
in  Charles  Iiea(ie'M  workn  :  "Suppoae  be 
takes  the  hufi'  and  giKM  to  sunte  otlier  lawjer." 
"Huff cap"  is  an  old  cant  U<rm  for  atrODg 
ale,  a  favourite  beverage  with  the  London 
'prentice,  when  it  was  doubtless  so  called 
Irom  its  tendency  to  make  a  neraoo  quarrel- 
some, or  "  cocka-boop,"  in  a  deaire  to  aet  hi* 
cap  in  a  defiant  manner.

I  think  the  rector  of  Little  Chart  baa 
misUken  "snalF"  for  •*huff."  It  is  a  rety 
common  saying  in  Kent  that  hei,  or  aha, 
**  went  off  in.  or  like,  a  snafl^"  meaning  the

"To  go  off  in  a  huff  "  means  to  leare 
abruptly,  and  not  in  a  good  temper.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


Bt&nd|)oint.  Compiled  from  the  beat  anthoriliBg, 
ftacieDland  modern  (many  of  Ihetn  not  univereally 
accessible,  nor,  indeed,  genfirally  known),  and 
written  with  commendable  spirit  and  vivacity,  the 
letterpress  constitutes  an  animated  picture  of  Lon- 
don life,  and  chronicle  of  London  doings,  from 
Roman  times  till  to-day,  to  which  further  brif^ht- 
nesa  is  added  by  the  presence  of  forty  coloured 
deaigns  by  Mr.  John  Fulleylove,  R,I.,  the  eminent 
painter  and  draughtsman.  In  a  sense  the  whole 
may  be  regarded  aa  history,  the  successive  chat>terfi 
conveying  a  cat>ital  idea  of  growth  and  development 
of  life  in  the  greatest  of  cities,  and  beinc  as  nappy 
in  atmosphere  ae  ample  in  detail.  We  are,  in  fact, 
astonished  at  the  amount  of  learning  that  is  brought 
to  bear.  Ordinary  aonrces,  from  Tacitus  downward 
to  Froisaart  and  repys,  are  laid  under  contribution; 
and  of  such  incidents  as  the  trial  and  execution  of 
great  offenders  the  best  existing  descriptions  are 
reproduced.  In  the  oa^e,  however,  of  such  things 
aa  the  rendering  penal,  in  tlie  interests  of  archery, 
of  other  aniuaemonla  and  {lui-suits,  and  like  recon- 
dite i)ointa,  knowledge  equally  exact  is  displayed. 
In  every  case,  indeed,  Mr.  Davey  has  gone  to  the 
most  trustworthy  sources.  As  an  account  of  life  in 
mediwval  and  Renaissance  times  we  know  uf  no 
more  instructive  or  entertaining  work,  and  none, 
certainly,  the  |>erusal  of  which  is  more  of  a  pleasure 
and  less  of  a  task.  The  illuRtrations  are  unsurijassed 
in  other  productions  of  the  class. 

Plutarch'n  Livf.«.  Translated  from  the  Greek  by 
Aubrey  8tewart,  M.A.,  and  George  Long,  M.A. 
4  voUu  (Bell  &  Sons.) 
liONO  aa  this  translation  of  Plutarch  haa  been  before 
the  public,  and  many  times  aa  it  has  been  reprinted 
in  a  quarter  of  a  century,  it  haa  never  previously 
assumed  bo  attractive  a  guise  as  now,  when  it 
appears  in  "The  York  Library,"  whereto  it  forms 
a  valuable  and  fitting  addition.  It  constitutes  the 
bMt,  most  trustworthy,  and  most  readable  of  the 
translations  that  have  been  made  of  the  most 
popular  of  classics,  and  can,  as  personal  experience 
enables  us  to  testify,  be  read  with  constant  plea- 
sure. To  Cicero  ana  others  of  the  Latins  useful 
notes  are  supplied  by  the  translators,  and  the  first 
volume  contains  Long's  preface  to  the  lives  pub- 
lished by  him  under  the  title  of  'Civil  Wars  of 
Rome.'  A  full  aud  useful  index  to  the  work  is 
;iven  at  the  end  of  the  fourth  volume.  A  life  of 
;*lularch  is  prefixed.  The  type  of  "  The  York 
Library"  is  admirably  legible,  and  suited  to  the 
oldest  sight.

All  that  is  likely  to  be  known  of  John  Siberch, 
the  tirst  Cambridge  printer,  is  now  within  reach 
of  the  bibliophile.  Coming  after  the  late  Henry 
.radshaw,  wnose  bibliography  was  prefixed  to  the 
[acsimile  edition  of  BhIIopk's  'Dratio'  printed  in 
ltW8.  Mr.  Robert  Bowea  found   in    tlip  library  of

R.  WiLU.iM  Cathuall,  who  wM  joint- 
itor  with  Mr.  Archibald  Prentice  of  T/tr 
anc/irnitr  Timet,  Htaled  noon  after  CoM«n'« 
*th  that  the  great  Freo  Trader  wan  a 
titributor  to  that  nowspapor,  and  wrote 
ttent  about  once  a  fortnight,  which  wore

I  tho  Britiiih  Mu'toum  ha.<<  rcNultcd  in  the

presumably  the  earliest  of  Cobden'a

quancy  in  the  fact  that  it  i«  a  tilt  at  Th<

I  was  ao  frc4|uoutly  in  conflict.  Am  a

carried  occasionally  by  the  force  of  conacioui 
powers  iDto  eccentricitiea  which  minds  of  less 
aabtlety  can,  without  ditiiculty,  see  and  avoid. 
He  ia  not  without  Ad vantuea,  however,  even  in  this 
point  of  view,  above  the  cnaracters  of  moat  of  the 
public  men  of  this  country  whose  talouta  entitle 
them  to  a  conitiAriaon  with  aim. 

In  industry  he  rivals  even  Pitt,  whilst  in  his 
compreheuaive  viewa  of  the  moral  inAueDcea  of  our 
nsliire  he  auriiasaea  that  ttme-«erving  atalesmao. 
With  more  than  the  energy  of  Burke,  he  cannot 
become  by  hia  enemioa  chariieil  with  the  aposlacy 
of  that  Kreat  man.  Eiiual  io  patriotiani  to  the 
liberal  and  euliKhtencd  Fox,  he  is  free  from  the 
laxity  in  public  and  private  life  which,  owioft  to  a 
too  great  facility  of  disposition,  characteri7.ed 
him.  WhiUt  iu  native  and  acquired  talenta  the 
aubjcct  of  niy  remarks  perhaps  escela  all  the  three 
•minent  names  just  quoted,  it  is  doubtful,  I  think, 
whether  in  the  absolute  use  and  command  of  his 
fiowers  he  can  be  regarded  as  e<|ual  to  either. 

Lord  brougham  is  the  creature  of  impulse — 
hence  springs  his  weakness.  He  ia  the  terror  of 
his  pArtisaiia.  even  in  the  very  act  of  loading  them 
to  victory.  Hence  ariae  alao  hia  tergiversations, 
often  BO  clumay,  that  his  obtuaest  sntBgouist  even 
of  the  lory  benches  could  not  enual  them.  From 
this  cause  too,  arines  the  undignified  diaplay  which 
the  Lord  Chancellor  has  made  in  the  House  of 
Lords,  where  he  has  exhibited  not  merely  the  want 
of  fiersonal  digutty-a  quality  which  we  do  not 
prize  even  in  dull  men,  and  never  look  for  in  a 
man  of  genius— but  a  total  absence  of  that  tran- 
quillity or  conaiatoncy  of  mind  and  purpose  which 
one  would  think  that  the  decoroua  aeirrespecl  of 

treat  talents  must  ever  impart  to  their  poaaeaaora. 
;aro  led  into  these  remarks  whilst  referring  to  a 
series  of  extraordinary  attacks  which  have  lately 
been  made  in  the  Tiin<.it  TjoiuIoii  j<iumal  u^ion  the 
repulatioD  of  Lord  Brougham.  Having  Ixiun  an 
attentive  reader  of  that  newspaper,  1  call  their 
attacks  extraordinary,  beoaoae  taey  evince  a  desti- 
tution of  even  a  portion  of  that  energy  of  mind  and 
dexterity  of  tact  which  have  for  unwardsof  twenty 
year<i  iirtiuniinently  distinguiaheu  the  couduclorB 
of  that  journal. 

It  is  with  no  malevolent  feeling  that  I  call  alien- 
lion  Ui  the  errors  of  your  melrojKtli tan  namesake, 
I  believe  the  country  owes  much  to  the  TitiuA

Times.  Sept.  2. 1S3I. 


After  reading  the  above  ex tracta,  which  cerl-ainly 
make  even  Cobbett's  inconsistencies  to  bloah  for 
very  modesty,  it  ie  natural  to  inijuire  the  cause  of 
so  great  a  change.  The  public  character  of  the 
Lord  Chancellor,  to  n>y  eye,  remains  about  the  same 
aa  ever— not  better,  we  fear,  nor.  Heaven  be 
praised,  much  worse. 

There  must  be  some  private  motive,  and  the 
Timeg  of  September  6th,  alluding  to  this  no  doubt, 
speaks  of  its  case  aa  similar  to  that  of  a  loving 
husband  or  friend  who  had  been  treated  with 
intidelily  or  deception  by  a  treacherous  wife  or 
confidant.  The  injustice  of  attempting  to  sacrifice 
the  imrsonai  fame  of  such  a  person  as  the  Chan- 
uellor  to  the  personal  pique  of  an  individual  in 
palpable.  But  the  public  has  far  more  interest  in 
preserving  the  press  from  corruption  than  in 
upholding  the  character  of  Lord  Brougham.

••MoTUER  or  DBAD  DOGS."  —  In  Carlyle's

rase  occurs  thrice,  ami  Heeint)  used  of 
indon.  In  vol.  i.  p,  257  Carlyle  speaks  of 
)b  Quincey  as  "  launched  to  into  the  literary 
areer  of  ambition  and  mother  of  dead  dogs. 
limllarly  in  vol.  ii.  p.  54  he  says  of  Jeffrey, 
*  nluiiKed  on  tJ>e  Nudden  into  such  a  mother

dtworibos  "ono  Parsons"  as  "swimming 
for  dear  life  in  a  more  '  mother  of  dead

[Again,  in  'Carlyle's  Life  in  London,'  by 
froude.  vol.  i.  p,  196,  in  a  letter  dated  from 
lelsea,  Carlyle  H&ya  of  himself:  "I  take

hey  are,  'grieving  by  the  shore  of  the

What  does  Carlylo  mean  by  this  phrase  as

"  Poor  Folks'  Stairs."— In  the  fragmen- 
tary records  of  a  City  parish,  prior  to  the 
f-Jreat  Fire,  are  several  references  to  a  some- 
what mysterious  structure  known  by  this 
name.  Thus  the  earliest  extant  parish 
account  (I5U6)  has  the  entry  : —

Something  of  the  nature  of  an  alma- 
house  is  doubtless  meant,  Imt  I  have  not 
oncouiiterpfl  the  expression  elsewhere,  and 
shall  be  glad  of  ex|)urt  opinion  upon  it. 

The  following  item  occurs  in  the  accounta 
for  1647/8  :  —

BuRNEY  Family.— I  should  be  very  glad 
of  any  information  respecting  the  parentage 
of  Dr.  William  Burnoy,  fouuoor  of  the  Royal 
Naval  and  Military  Academy,  Gosport,  born 
1762,  died  February,  1832,  author  of  '  Naval 
Heroea'  and  similar  works.  What  relation 
(if  any)  was  he  to  the  celebrated  Dr.  Charlea 
Burney,  author  of  the  'History  of  Music' 
(172B-1814)?  I  believe  the  former  hod  five 
sons, the  fifth  being  thellev.  Edward  Burney, 
head  master  of  the  Academy  Cvide  Foster's 
'Alumni  Oxonionses '),  who  aie<l  August, 
1888,and  the  eldest  Capt  James  Burney,  U.N.,

Amkbica  v.  United  States.  —  I  observe 
that  Tfu  Tivus  and  Tht  Daibj  Ttlrfimph  speak 
of  the  '*  United  States  Ambassador."  Can  any 
reader  inform  me  when  the  phrase  was 
substituted  for  "American  Ambassador "Y 
There  is  a  tradition  tiiat  the  calling  cards  of 
the  late  John  Uay  bore  the  inscription  "  the 
American  Ambassador"  —  a  phrase  for  the 
use  of  which  ho  was  much  criticized.  But 
the  use  in  this  way  of  the  word  American 
is  English  in  its  origin.  Dr.  Johnson's 
pamphlet  is  entitled  '  Taxatiott  no  Tyranny  : 
a  Reply  to  the  Address  and  Resolutions  of 
the  American  Congress.'  I  do  not  defend 
the  word,  but  the  history  of  the  growth  of 
and  change  in  the  usage  ought  to  be  put  on

Bnjagham's  works.  But  only  hia  own  ■ 
were  incluiied— that  was  a  BOiall 
what  1  harl  collected,  which  iiicmaeu 
pamphlot<9  about  him  and  criticisms  Ac, 
from  all  quarters.  For  many  years  I  noted 
any  refereucea  to  him.  Ah  the  priulingof 
the  bibliography  went  on,  the  publiniiers 
were  quite  aurpri^ed,  nn(]  eveit  annoyed,  to 
think  they  ha(i  agreed  to  print  !4ach  a  lone 
list,  which  they  regarded  &»  no  much  dead 
weight.  All  I  stipulated  for  w&a  that  it 
should  be  printed  according  to  my  idea*,  &nd 
that  I  nhould  have  one  hundred  separate 
copien.  It  wan  very  nicely  done,  and  aa  a 
sample  of  how  a  bibliography  should  be 
printed  it  is,  notwithstanding  Lite  lapiie  of 
yearn,  only  second  to  tuy  laat  publication. 

Tlie  separate  copies  bore  J.  KudsoII  Smith '*4 
name.  I  offered  to  let  him  have  the  whole 
MS. ;  but  he  aaid  it  would  not  pay,  there 
was  no  sale  for  Lord  Brougham's  publica- 
tions ;  and  he  added,  "  I  expect  the  only 
literary  thing  Lord  Brougham  will  be 
recollected  for  in  future  years  will  be  your 
bibliographr "  !  I  observe  that  nutliing 
by  his  lorushtp  has  been  reprinted  since 
1873. 

Mr.  Hunt  in  the  'Dictionary  of  National 
Biography  '  says  that  in  consequence  of  my 
list  only  Brougham's  larger  and  more  im- 
portant books  are  enumerated.  It  is  also 
mentioned  in  'The  Victorian  Chancellors,' 
by  J.  B.  Atlay,  1906,  p.  357.  I  may  add  that 
I  have  lately  destroyed  the  MS.  above 
referred  to,  together  with  pil«8  of  other  work 
of  former  years. 

While  on  tlie  subject  of  Brougham  I  should 
like  to  add  that  "I  never  before  heard  ''  of 
an  instance  of  the  British  Museum  cata 
loguers  being  able  to  give  the  full  name  of 
any   person   of    title,   bub  this    is    so    with 

"An  Essay  on  Female  Education by  the 

Comtesse  [query  forename?]  de  Bruneti^re 
Tallien,  translated  by  Lord  Brougham 
[1840?]."  Further,  though  the  name  of  so 
celebrated  a  person  as  Brougham  is  on  the 
title,  the  exact  year  of  publication  ia  not 
known,  but  is  only  a  surmise.

Thene  miachievous  meiJdlers  did  a  good 
leal  of  harm.  They  wrote  debU  in)«tCAd  of

It  once?)  innteAil  of  rime;  they  wrote 
ifthyininnliU  instead  of  abominable,  owinff  to 
I  etymology  which  waH  ho  absurd  tliat 
the  general  public  refused  to  Hwallow 
'^"  antl  Ko  on.  Very  queer  wa>i  their  notion

still.  Surely  we  are  right  in  protesting 
igainst  8uch  fully. 

The  spelling  rimr  or  r>/itui  was  universal 

intil   the  coming  of  peclantry.     It    is   the 

slling   of   Chaucer's  time,    and   occurs   in 

IsgravB,      Cotgravo,      and      Shakcapoare.

hat  I  was  quite  wrong  R4  to  the  origin  of 

his   word   when   I  referred  it  to  the  A.-S. 

»/H,   numljer.     I  corrected   thi«  in  1901,  in 

the  new  edition  of  mv  'ConciHe  Dictionary.' 

The  word  is  really  of  lloniance  orii;in,  from 

khe  old   French   Him  (cf.  Ital.,  Span.,  and 

Port.   nnia).     And  it  is  now   believed    that 

this  O.F.  rihn  was  really  developed,  in  the 

twelfth  century,  from  the  Latin  accusative

or  rose  of  Jericho.  Finding  it  not  to  corre- 
spond with  the  descrintion  of  the  traditional 
plant  as  given  by  the  Ibotanists,  I  carried  the 
subject  to  Kew,  in  order  to  obtain  unim- 
3>e&chable  information  at  the  Herbarium, 
the  fountain  of  botanical  knowledge.  That 
which  I  there  learnt  from  the  courteous 
Professor,  and  from  the  books  to  which  he 
referred  me,  may  not  be  superfluously  noted 
in  'N.  Jr  Q.'  for  the  benefit  of  any  reader 
whose  inquiries  may  tend  in  the  same 
direction. 

The  plant  sold  in  London  is  the  Selaffinella 
involvens  {i.e ,  rollefl  up),  thus  defined  on 
account  of  there  iKsinfj  many  Kpecies.  It 
i«  not  the  rose  of  Jenoho  recognized  by 
botanists ;  is  in  form  totally  unlike  the 
accepted  plant,  viz.,  the  Annntatica  hiero- 
chuntina ;  is  not,  like  the  latter,  found  in 
Syria  or  Palestine,  hut  lives  in  China  and 
Japan,  and  probably  for  that  reason  is  more 
readily  brought  to  London.  The  only  like- 
ness between  the  plants  is  that  when 
perfectly  dried  both  have  the  marvellous 
nygroscopic  property,  or  that  of  reviving 
under  the  influence  of  moistura  Their  full 
scientific  descriptions  and  figures  are  found 
in  the  'Illustrated  Dictionary  of  Gardenijig/ 
by  George  Nicholson,  Curator  of  Kew  Oar- 
dons,  1887.  At  present,  without  t-  •f  •'if.pj 
technical  terms,  it  may  be  said  that  t 

involvens  in  the  dry  state  has  the  ti.i,,.^„.„...:o 
of  a  ball,  p4>rhaps  four  inches  in  diameter, 
formed  of  dried,  roUodup,  raosalike  fronds, 
and  this  «beo  laid  in  water  (on  a  plate) 
slowly  expands  in  many  toothed  or  mosslike 
fronds,  overlying  one  another,  and  assuming 
a  goo<l  green  colour.  Fully  expanded,  the 
plant  is  nearly  circular,  in  diameter  about 
ten  inches,  having  eorae  resemblance  to  a 
small  ornamental  centre  "ilower  "  as  moulded 
by  ceiling- plasterers. 

On  the  other  hand,  tlie  Anaatatica  h>*ro- 
chuntiiux  {i.e.,  Itesurrection  plant  of  Jericho) 
is  a  little  plant  growing  upright,  though  not 
higher  than  six  inches,  putting  forth 
branchlets  with  small  ovate  leaves  and  a 
daisy  like  flower.  After  the  plant  has 
rtowerefl  the  leaves  fall  off;  the  branchlets 
become  dry,  hard,  and  ligneous,  rise  upwards, 
and  bend  inwards,  forming  as  it  were  a  cup 
or  smalt  wicker  like  banket  four  inches  ia 
diameter— some  much  smaller— which  con- 
tains the  >M?e<l  of  the  plant.  This  cup 
becomes  detached,  is  blown  about  the  desert, 
and  has  been  imagined  to  represent  the 
"rolling  thing  l)oforo  the  whirlwind"  u«©d 
as  a  simile  by  Isaiah  (xvii.  1.3).  I  havit  not 
seen  the  cup  or  ball  cxpaudtHi  by  moisture.

Edward  Bknuly. 

Lady  Coventry's  Minuet  (10"'  S.  v.  307, 
35&). — I  have  looked  up  such  ma^HKinos  an  I 
posaess  between  the  datd«  of  Mnria  Qun- 
ning'a  niarriage  (17&2),  and  doatii  (1700  ,  and 
have  found  wiiat  may  he  the  piece  wanted. 

In  7V/r  L'tiireinU  mhihiuhc,  vol.  jciii.,  Sup- 
plement (after  December  number,  1753), 
p.  321,  is  a  dance  hea<led  'Tho  Countess  of 

Uoventry's  M '    Tnfortunately,  the  leaf 

is  torn  jftKgt'dly,  and  the  remainder  of  the  last 
word  is  illegibfo,  but  does  not  appear  to  have 
made  up  "  Minuet."  From  the  ilirections,  it 
was  probably  a  country  danco,  and  the  title 
most  likely  'The  Countess  of  Coventry's 
March.'  In  a  later  magazine  is  a  country 
dance  called  'General  Waldegrave's  March.' 
The  author  of  the  music  is  not  slated.  If 
Thicknesse  was  not  a  musical  or  a  dancing 
man,  it  is  conceivable  that  the  word  "minuet" 
is  an  error.  On  the  other  hand,  there  might 
be  another  piece  of  music  with  the  countess's 
name.  J.  P.  Hinds. 

Cox's  '  History  of  Warwickshire  '  (10"*  S. 
V,  327,  372).— It  may  be  added  that  Cox's 
'Magna  Britannia'  is  not  even  now  quite 
valueless,  seeing  that  it  records  many 
existing  landowners  and  some  sepulchral 
monuments.  Edward  Smith.

following  extract  from  the  registers  of 
Meole  Brace,  near  Shrewsbury,  in  of  great 
interest,  as  it  imdoubterlly  fixes  the  per-

Their  work  modestly  aspires  only  to  be  regarded 
as  a  trustworthy  collection  of  textual  material,  and
