Full text of "Notes and queries"

See other formats 


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

ference  to  previous  writers  on  KiiBsia,  such  as 
"  Chancellor,  Fletcher,  Smith,  the  iiutbor  of  Car- 
lislf'i  Etnfjrtisiee,  &c."  A  German  translator  of 
Cose'rt  Travth,  by  a  little  error  in  punctuation, 
converted  the«o  four  namea  int^  two,  and  the 
piiBAngp  then  read  ihuR  :  "  l)t>r  Kanzlor  Fletcher  ;

blunder  thus  commenced  not  only  wholly  luialcd 
fOTvi^n  biblicgraphers,  bat  wan  retranslated  into

Thus  in  Curd's  Hutory  of  Iiii*tiiii,  Lund.,  Iii04,

FOLK-LOBE. 
Saturday's  Moon. — A  new  moon  on  Saturday, 
in  this  part  of  Surrey,  aa  in  other  parts  of  England, 
is  considered  of  bad  omen  as  regards  the  wenther. 
This  prejudice  is  not  confined  to  the  lower  orders, 
for  in  some  letters  of  the  Hon.  Mrs.  Boscawen, 
widow  of  the  admiral,  I  have  come  across  the 
following  passages : — 

BaJmint'^n,  Sept.  30, 1793.  "  Delightful  we&tber  we 
have  had  ever  aiiice  I  came,  but  Saturday  next  is  new 
moon,  SatitT(i'i<f't  noon,  Tojez-Toua.  1  ihall  fear  lome 
bad  weather  " 

Oct.  4, 1TU5.  "  Now  we  muRt  lay  our  account  by  some 
*  coup  do  Patte  *  of  the  >f»turday'i  moon." 

And  again : — 

"  Miserable  weather,  worthy  a  Saturday's  moon,  w'" 
31"  Lerewa  laugha  at,  but  you  remember  the  ninbt  M^ 
Weit'i  house  was  blown  down,  and  you  went  flying  in 
the  Wftlk-Aeld  at  Bosley,  rending  y^'CloathB,  and  how  1 
threw  my  CIo;^  in  the  Hir  in  sign  of  desper&tion,  and 
how  we  went  to  Goody  Gerrard's  at  y'  Church  Gate,  and 
bow  yon  sippfd  brandy,  and  how  I  was  afraid  leat  you 
were  gone  so  for  that  brandy  wou'd  not  fetch  you,  und 
all  this  Was  on  s  Saturday's  noon  not  quite  forty  years 
■go." 

The  saying  in  these  parts  is — 
"  A  Saturday's  moon 
Comes  too  loon." 

The  coupleU  relating  to  it  are  variously  piren  in 
*'  N.  &  Q.,"  but  correctly,  I  believe,  by  Mr.  F.  K. 
IkObinsoo  in  bis  preface  to  a  Oloamry  of  IVkitby 
JFoTtla  (E,D.S.,  Series  C,  Original  Glossnrie?,  iv. 
pt  ii.):— 

"  A  Satarday's  moon 
Comes  once  in  seven  years  over  soon." 
And— 

"  Saturday's  tnoon  and  Sunday's  full 
Is  always  wet  and  always  wall  (will)." 

It  seems  impossible  to  educated  people  to  believe 
that  the  day  on  which  the  moon  changes  can  in 
any  way  affect  the  weather.  There  nmst,  how- 
ever, he  some  origin  for  so  wide»pre:ui  and  ap- 
parently ancient  u  superstition.  One  would  like 
to  know  how  far  back  it  can  be  traced,  and 
whether  to  some  such  calamity  as  the  great  gale 
that  devastated  England  on  Nov.  2G,  17(':i.  It 
occurred,  as  wo  are  told,  just  at  the  new  moon 
(Stanhope's  Quttn  Anne,  p.  105).  G.  L.  G. 

TitMy  Place. 

Weddixo  Luck.— At  a  wedding  in  a  Wor- 
ceatersbire  village  last  October,  the  bride  and 
ttrid^room,  at  the  concloaioa  of  the  ceremony, 


left  the  church  hy  the  chancel  door,  instead  of 
following  the  usual  custom  of  walking  down  the 
church  and  through  the  nave  door.  One  of  the 
oldest  inhabitants,  in  mentioning  this  to  me,  said 
that  it  "  betokened  bad  luck,"  and  that  she  had 
never  known  a  like  instance  but  once  in  her  life, 
when  the  married  couple  went  out  of  the  church 
through  the  chancel  door,  and  the  bride  was  a 
widow  before  the  twelvemonth  was  over. 

CuTHBEax  Bede. 

A  Sqcirrel's  Nkst. — A  lady  in  Worcestershire 
was  lamenting  to  me  that  one  of  the  autumnal 
gales  hod  blown  a  squirrel's  nest  from  the  position 
that  it  had  occupied  for  aevenil  years  in  the  top 
of  a  tall  tree  in  her  garden.  She  said  that  this 
was  looked  upon  by  her  servants  as  a  sign  that 
something  unlucky  would  happen  to  her  house  or 
household  during  the  coming  year. 

Cdthbert  Bede. 

Jewish  Foi.k-lobe. — A  letter  from  Salonica, 
published  in  the  Manchester  Guanlian,  April  19, 
contains  the  following  curious  bit  of  folk-lore  about 
the  knots  in  timber  : — 

"  Passing  throui;h  the  Jewish  quarter  I  was  an  eye 
and  ear  witness  of  a  strange  eceiic.  In  every  house  was 
the  sound  of  hammering,  and  through  the  open  windows 
I  could  Bee  the  children  of  Israel  driving  nails  into  the 
knots  of  the  timber  floors  of  their  h-^uses.  The  hammer- 
ing was  furious  and  accompanied  by  vociferous  excla- 
mations. In  every  house  the  s^me  scene  was  visible. 
Next  morning  1  was  told  that  what  1  had  seen  was  the 
commencement  of  the  Jewisli  carnival.  As  each  knot 
in  the  floor  sunk  down  beneath  the  blow  of  the  hammer 
the  eye  of  a  devil,  1  was  told,  was  put  out." 

Is  this  odd  belief  common  elsewhere  ? 

William  E.  A.  Axon*. 
Bank  Cottage,  Barton  on-Irwell. 

Isle  of  Mam  Folk-lore. —  Having  occasion  to 
send  a  horse  to  be  .ihod  on  the  Sth  of  January  last, 
the  Hinith  refused,  on  the  ground  that  it  was  very 
unlucky  to  light  a  fire  and  temper  iron  before 
Christm.ia  b.id  expired,  !>;iying  he  had  never  done 
so  and  never  woulil.  The  utnio.''t  he  would  do  was 
to  put  a  nail  in  to  secure  the  old  shoe.  I  was  not 
aware  until  then  tliat  there  was  a  prejudice  a;;ainst 
lighting  a  fire  f-'ir  the  purpose  of  working  iron 
until  after  the  expiration  of  Christmas. 

In  the  north  of  Durham  no  bluckHmith  through- 
out that  di.strict\vill  drive  a  nail  on  Good  Friday. 
A  remembrance  of  the  awful  purpose  for  which 
hammer  and  nails  were  uaed  on  the  first  Good 
Friday  doubtless  holds  them  back.

The  lNADE(inACT  of  LAsaUAtiE  to  extress 
Ideas  ■with  Perfect  Preci&iox. — Language, 
whether  written  or  spoken,  is  considered  generally, 
notwithstanding  the  saying  of  Talleyrand,  to 
express  ideas  with  perspicuity  and  correctness,  so 
that  no  man  can  doubt  the  meaning  of  what  he 
hears  or  reads  ;  but  that  this  principle  i»  of 
univcrsid  application  is  a  doubtful  point.  Some 
may  perhupa  say  that  such  a  proposition  is  simply 
the  outcome  of  a  general  scepticism,  and  that,  if 
we  do  not  or  ciinnot  believe  or  accept  what  wo 
read  or  hear,  in  it!?  own  terms,  then  all  attempts  to 
arrive  at  the  meaning  of  a  man's  words  or  writing 
would  be  simply  fruitless— in  fact,  that  language 
conveys  no  signification  whatever,  Not  bo.  I  am 
far  from,  and  I  have  a  holy  horror  of,  scepticism, 
but  I  will  illustrate  the  jioint  which  I  seek  to 
establif-h  by  citing  an  cxiniiple.  It  is  commonly 
supposed  that  in  IJibliciil  tinics  tlic  ancients  be- 
lieved in  the  revolution  of  the  sun  round  the  earth, 
and  in  cf>nRrin:ition  of  this  view  jippral  is  niiule  to 
the  sacred  Scriptures,  wliere  nientinn  ia  made  of 
the  "sun  rising,"  the  "sun  setling,'  jiiul  the  "sun 
standing  still  over  d'ideon"  ;  showing  as  clearly  as 
words  can  Bhow(a«  is  idleged)  that  the  iilea  sought 
to  be  convoyed  was  that  of  tlic  earth  remaining 
still,  while  the  sun  travelled  round  that  planet. 

But  in  the  ah.-cnce  of  contemporaneous  and 
explanatory  literature,  I  do  not  see  any  proof 
whatever,  from  the  simple  use  of  those  phrases, 
that  the  sacred  historian  had  what  we  cull  false 
ideas  of  astronomy.  If  so,  then,  to  come  to  our 
own  times,  I  c-an  from  one  book  alone,  and  that 
book  compiled  by  men  of  consummate  skill  in 
astronomy  and  all  matheniaticid  science,  convict 
the  compilers  of  an  equiilly  false  theory.  Take 
the  Kautical  Almanack,  in  which  to  express  sun- 
rise and  sunset  the  compilers  do  not  go  fur  afield  in 
search  of  precise  scientific  words  and  phrases,  but 
they  say  "sunrise"'  and  "sunset,"  when  we  know 
that  such  a  pbniso  does  not  express  their  scientific 
belief.  They  use  the  phnise  as  a  convenient  form 
understood  alike  by  scicntifics  and  non-scientifics^ 
and  no  one  would,  on  that  account,  dream  of 
attributing  to  them  false  knowledge.  But  sup- 
posing that  day  of  desolation  came  when  the  New 
Zealander  (whom  Lord  ^f  acaulay  appropriated  from 
other  authors  without  a  polite  and  civil  acknow- 
ledgment) shall  sit  on  London  Bridge  and  gaze  at 
the  ruins  of  St.  Paul's  ;  and  supposing  also  that  all 
our  literature  had  perished  except  a  single  copy  of* 
the  Kavtical  Almanack,  which  came  into  the  pos- 
session of  this  New  Zealander  ;  what  would  be  his 
impression  of  the  state  of  our  astronomical  know- 
ledge when  he  perused  this  highly  scientific  book 
and  found  this  expression  distinctly  and  clearly 
made  use  of  all  thtough,  "The  sun  rises"?  and 
what  would  be  his  answer  if  interrogated  as  to  the 
astronomical  belief  of  the  English  nation  ?  He 
could  give  only  one  answer,  vi/..  that  these  Englisl^

M(U9,  haa  been  Iiaaded  down  in  the  Latin  laDgtiaga

nunciation of  the  Latin  of  their  Moss  correepondii, 
no  far  Hi  expL-iined  above,  with  the  modem  con- 
tinentiil  prouuuciauon.  But,  unfortuoolcly,  our 
elati^ical  refornicnt  have  not  stopped  at  the  change 
ivbove  iIc$crilK-ii,  but  have  introdui-vd  n  monstrosity 
ill  favour  of  which  I  c.innot  find  n  single  arj^iimenl, 
vi?..  pmnnnnrinj^  onr  v  like  a  u?.  Fancy  the  great 
t^nqueror  nf  (iaul  pronouncing  bis  fatnons  war 
bulletin:  Waynet,  tcctdce,  rvtrkte  !  CiQ  anything 
bo  more  horrible  (  But  on  this  point  let  us  take 
the  test  used  in  the  other  iDst.auves.  Do  tho 
niuilern  inhnbitiints  of  the  countries  formerly 
lioman  pronounce  v  like  our  w?  They  do  not. 
H  the  tnulitionul  proniincintion  of  llie  v  in  the

Take  the  converse  aue.  The  contincDtalx  cannot 
proDOMoce  our  tc;  they  turn  it  into  our  c.  Even 
the  Gemianii,  who  admit  «r  into  their  alphabet, 
pmnnuncc  It  more  like  a  >■  than  a  w.  But  another 
more  imwerful  nrji^iLment  u^iainftt  thin  innovation 
is  the  effect  it  wonid  pKxiiico  on  Latin  |)oetry. 
Think  of  the  smooth  and  e.i\v  (lowing  lines  of 
Virsfil — m.iTk  the  accuracy  of  hts  metro,  not  a 
syUuble  out  oF  ptnoe,  or  too  long  or  too  ehort. 
Then  scan  a  few  hexaineten  with  the  f  prononnced 
as  a  tc.  What  a  woeful  result !  The  fact  is  that 
onr  w  is  what  ita  numo  denoCeK,  a  double  vowel. 
The  vocal  sound  gives  the  impreiaion  of  two 
Hyllnbleit  instead  of  one;  to  that,  selecting  the 
word  gyiv<i  (with  ics  derivativca)  by  way  of 
example,  prononocinptbc  r  as  n  tr.  it  bcooniei  n 
word  of  tliree  syllables— ^f/i)on~inKte«d  of  two. 
Take  Ibe  second  line  of  Virgir*  first  I'-clogue  :— 

"SyliCftrcm  tctiui  mtmni  iniMlitiirtsavena." 

Here  you  have  a  perfect  lino  of  fifteen  syUahlea, 
Pronounce  syhtttrtm  "  syloocstrem  "  and  avtna 
"aooaffna,"  and  you  introduce  two  more  Hyllahlea, 
which  spoil  the  metre  and  outrage  the  ear.  I  oon- 
nider  this  Cockney  innovation  (juilo  noju«tifi»bIe  ;

Matilda "  of  the  liorU  new^pdpcr  w.ns  pciha|M 
Mrs.  Ptozzi,  Hod  adds  that  probably  tliin  t\ifr. 
((eetion  is  incorrect.  In  the  Literarjt  Memoirt 
(vol.  ii.  p.  213)  it  is  dislinvtly  ■•U'lled  tkil  "Anna 
ftlfttilda"  was  Mm.  Mary  Robinnon.  I  think 
Lowndes  is  in  error  in  sayinj;  that  Mr.  Rirern  wan 
a  D.D.  Allibone  appears  more  correctly  to 
defiifjtiate  him  a  "  Di^icnting  divine."  Some  one 
in  tlio  J/mi/A/y  Mrtg<nme  for  179J>  (p.  25) 
questioned  \m  ri^ht  to  the  title  "Reverend"  ;  and 
in  the  a-inie  volume  (p.  91)  Mr.  Rivera  rrnlien,  in  a 
very  ch»racleri*tif:  letter, "  that  the  title  of  Reverend 
was  given  to  him,  and  tlmt  be  has  as  full  right  to 
use  it  OS  any  Dissenting  minister  whatever." 

Edward  Solly. 

If  t  umlentand  Mi>.  Wjird  rightly,  his  idea  is 


that  the  Bev.  David  Rivers,  the  reputed  niitbor  of 
Literary  MunOira,  3  voh.,  179K,  may  have  been 
the  compiler  of  ihc  earlier  VaUilogue  of  JAving 
Authort  of  17S.^  ;  and  that,  in  fact,  the  former  is 
only  the  continuance  of  the  latter,  as  promised  by 
its  author,  and  towards  which  com  muni  cations 
through  his  publisher  were  invited.  Having  in  an 
early  volume  of  '*N.  &  Q."  pMnted  out  that  the 
Litcranj  Mtmoiri  is  asBignoil  in  G.  Ohalmers'a 
Bide  calJUuguc  to  Rivers,  I  Di«y  now  oonlinn  bis 
rijjit  by  positive  proof. 

Rivers,  among  other  books,  pnblished  a  volnmo 
of  .s'ermotu,  a  copy  of  which,  in  the  Britisth  MiiBeom, 
formerly  belonging  to  Dr.  Lclt(>om,  cvniniiis  iw 
inserted  letter  to  the  latter  from  the  former  implor- 
ir)}{  [M^-uuiary  aftnistAnce  from  the  doctor  to  save  him 
from  threatened  arrest  by  hiK  printer.  In  this  bo 
distinctly  claims  the  LUeranj  Mtmoirt,  and  it  was 
probably  iiiwd  the  strength  of  the  favourablo 
notice  of  the  benevolent  medic-iiicoiit.iined  therein 
that  be  fouDtlcd  his  hope  nf  ossistjinoc.  The 
iuionym<ius  author  of  the  CaUjlogue  of  I7t<ft  claims 
the  merit  of  inventing  a  new  science  Iherebyi 
ndding  that  future  editions  of  the  b(K>k  will  be 
forthcoraing ;  and  upon  the  snpixMition  that  it 
was  written  by  ono  Marshidl,  who  owing  to  no- 
favourable  criliciatii  wipprcfscd  his  work,  it  was 
not  likely  thul  he  would  take  ap  the  tliankleaa 
tusk  of  cnntiuiuDg  ir.  at  a  later  pennd.  Ttut  if  for 
T^rnrahall  we  read  River?,  and  dismiss  the  destruc- 
tive story,  a  second  and  enlarged  continuance  of 
the  Caiatt>gue  nnder  a  bciter-aounding  title  would 
tit  in  with  the  original  intention  of  the  inventor. 
The  Catatogve  is  not  a  mre  book,  the  tAterary 
Memoirs  is.  I  have  bad  both  for  a  long  time  ;  but 
the  latter  unfortunately  enntniris  no  intrtMhictory 
matter  by  which  we  might  judge  if  they  are  by  (be 
j^aine  person.  With  bolh  now  before  tne,  and  stimn- 
Inted  by  the  inquiries  thereto,  I  have  apjilied  l-be 
test  of  selecting  n  few  names  included  in  l»o<h,  and 
must  say  tbnt,  uttbougb  miK*b  nmpli/ied  in  the  lost, 
I  do  detect  ihcrein  a  similarity  of  ftyle,  and -a  relen- 
tioD  of  some  of  the  pecniiiir  pbrnses  fonnd  in  the 
i'iilalnyut;  and  both  being  published  by  Faulder, 
I  incline  to  the  opinion  that  thev  are  both  by

Nhjutiscale.'j  asd  Cowslips  f;j*  S.  ix.  408, 
401.) — I  have  on  two  or  threo  occasions  heard  the 
nightiniralo  in  Stoko  Wood,  about  three  miles 
from  Exeter ;  and  in  1RT5  I  not  only  heard  him 
but  .saw  him  in  the  above  wood.  About  twenty- 
five  years  ago  a  birdcatchor  by  the  name  of  Burge, 
a  shoemaker,  then  living  in  South  Street,  Exeter, 
caught  one  in  Sir  John  Duckworth's  park.  Wear 
House,  near  Exeter.  This  bird  had  been  heard 
singing  occasionally  for  several  evenings,  and  many 
people  from  the  city  went  to  hear  it.  Mr.  W.  S^ 
M.    D'Urban,  curator  of   the  Albert  Memorial 


Museum,  Exeter,  says  that  a  pair  bred  near  Exeter 
in  June,  1872;  and  there  is  a  specimen  in  tho 
above  museum  said  to  have  been  obtained  in 
Stoke  Wood.  The  above  is  recorded  in  my 
Fauna  of  Devon,  part  xiii.,  "Birds,"  p,  20. 

That  the  bird  is  rare  in  Devon  there  can  be  no 
doubt,  but  not  more  so  than  many  others.  What 
reid  connexion  there  can  bo  between  the  nightin- 
gale and  the  cowslip  I  am  not  prepared  to  say  ; 
but  that  the  two,  the  plant  and  the  bird,  coincide 
in  this  instance  in  both  being  rare  in  Devon  is 
certainly  true.  The  cowslip  is  sparsely  scattered 
over  tho  county,  namely,  at  Chudleijih,  Axmin- 
ftter,  Eerrynarhor,  and  at  St.  Mary-eliurch,  near 
Torquay,  where  I  have  gathered  the  tlowcrs  nither 
plentifully.  In  every  institnro  there  is  either 
calcareona  mutter  in  the  soil  or  there  i-^  linicKtone 
rock.  Tlie  plant,  so  fjir  as  I  know,  i^  in  its 
natural  state  dependent  on  thp^^p  j:coli>i,'ir:il  con- 
ditions. The  nightinjraie  cannot  i>t'  remilated  by 
the'ie  conditions,  and  I  am  not  awaro  of  any  insect 
larva'  that  feed  on  the  co\v.*Ii|)  wliidi  would  prove 
BO  particnUirly  attmctivo  to  the  bird  iis  ti»  rcj(iilate 
its  numbers  or  pcnrcity  in  nc-'ordnnre  M'ith  ."ucb 
food.  At  the  PJimc  time,  the  coincidence"  is  very 
remarkable,  and  more  especially  when  compared 
with  the  nnniber  of  nightingales  and  the  abund- 
ance of  cowslips  in  tlio  neii^hhourhood  of  Tjtunton, 
about  thirty  miles  from  here.  In  a  wood,  also 
called  Stoke  Wood,  about  the  same  distance  from 
the  town  a.f  oura  is  from  the  city,  between  nine 
and  ten  o'clock  at  night  the  whole  place  was  a 
grand  chorus  of  song — there  seemed  to  be  hnndreds 
of  birds  trying  to  excel  each  other  —  and  coin- 
cident with  this  the  meadows  round  two  sides  of 
this  wood  were  literally  covered  witli  cowslips. 
This  was  in  155!>,  and  1  have  no  doubt  of  its  being 
the  same  now.  Edward  Pabkitt. 

Devon  and  Exeter  Institution,  Exeter. 

At  r.itton,  between  Bath  and  Bristol,  cowslips 
are  abundant  and  so  are  nightingales.  On  one 
estate,  called  Fillgrove — olim  Philgrove,  for  Philo- 
mela's grove — they  may  be  heard  all  through  a 
summer  night.  H.  T.  Ellacomhe.

that  the  usual  Arabian  name  of  the  Slavs  ia  Snt/ofr,

from  the  (Jreek  "^kKo-^ol  This  again  ia  the  Greek 
mode  of  writing  Slav,  the  conjunction  of  the  con-

original  native  form  of  this  national  appellation 
was  Slovene.,  a  name  usually  connected  with 
Ch.  Slav.  S?oi-o=a  word,  and  meaning  therefore 
"  the  intelligiblv  speaking  people."  The  Slavs  thus 
distingnished  tbemselves  from  foreignen,  whom 
they  called  JTrmct,  t«.  "  the  mute,  dumb,"  which

"BaKDAKa"    PoCKET-nANDKERCHIEFS    (5">    S. 

ii.  446, 472.)— The  word  is  Spanish,  from  landanOy 
a  neckerchief  made  of  fine  bast,  and  probably  from 
Aant/Of  a  scarf.  It  is  now  used  for  the  method  of 
ptintiDg  calico  or  silk,  in  which  white  or  coloured 
apoU  an  produced  on  a  dark  ground.  The  process 
nd  its  ongin  in  India,  where  it  was  in  use  by  the 
Hindooa  from  time  immemorial,  who  bound  up 
viUi  fine  thread  those  parts  of  the  cloth  which 


were  required  to  remain  white  or  yellow,  and  thett 
exposed  the  whole  to  the  action  of  the  dye.  Tlie 
process  by  which  they  arc  now  printed  in  Kurope, 
by  chemically  discharging  the  colour  to  produce 
the  spots  or  pattern,  was  invented  by  M,  Koech- 
lin  of  Millhausen  in  I8ln.  It  is  not  unlikely  the 
Spanish  may  have  adopted  the  name  from  Banda, 
the  capital  of  Bundulkhnnd,  in  the  neighbouring 
country  of  which  the  finest  cotton  Is  grown.  It 
may,  however,  have  come  from  the  same  source  as 
Sax.  Band,  Fr.  Bande,  Ital.  Bcnd:i,  fianda  {Le- 
gi'ime),  and  cognate  words  in  other  languages,  and 
not  improbably  from  the  Sanskrit,  as  suggested  by

Bread  and  Salt  (5*''  S.  ix.  48, 138,  SD!),  477.) 
— In  Durham  and  Norlhnmberland,  and  in  Pome 
<listricts  of  North  York^hire,  it  is  still  L-ustfHuary 
to  present  a  baby  with  three  articles  "  for  luck  " 
the  first  time  it  is  taken  into  a  noighbonr's  house. 
This,  in  the  county  of  Durham,  is  termed  the 
"bairn's  awmons,"  that  i^,  aim-*.  The  articles 
usually  consist  of  a  piece  of  broad,  a  pinch  of  salt, 
and  an  egg,  but  matches  are  sometimes  substituted 
for  the  last  if  there  should  happen  to  be  no  egg.i 
in  the  hausc  visited.  In  Durham  and  Northumber- 
land a  curious  custom  is  observed — at  least,  such 
was  the  custom  not  so  many  year3  ago— when 
a  child  is  tsiken  to  church  to  be  baptized.  Two  pieces 
of  spiced  bread,  sandwiched  in  a  wedge  of  chee-ie, 
are  wrapped  up  in  paper,  and  the  woman  who 
carries  the  child  presents  the  same  to  the  first 
person  met  in  the  street  after  leaving  the  house  of 
the  child's  parents.  If  the  person  met  be  a  man 
good  luck  is  expected  to  attend  the  youngster,  but 
if  the  recipient  of  the  bread  and  cheese  be  a  woman 
the  reverse  is  expected  to  ensue.  About  twenly- 
five  years  ago  the  writer,  then  a  stranger  to  this 
peculiar  custom,  w:i.s  astonished  by  being  presented 
w^ith  a  parcel  containing  spice  loaf  and  cheese  by 
a  christening  pjirty.  The  woman  who  presented  it 
said  I  must  take  it,  as,  being  a  man,  it  was  sure  to 
bring  good  luck  to  the  baby.  This  custom,  as  I 
subsequently  ascertained,  was  pretty  general  in 
the  North  about  the  period  mentioned,  but,  like 
many  other  old  costoms,  it  is  now  possibly  "  more 
honoured  in  the  breach  than  the  observance." 
This  peculiar  "  presentation,"  it  may  be  remarked, 
occurred  in  the  populous  town  of  Sunderland,  and 
not  in  a  coontry  district  where  traditionary  or

"  Arthdrus  Severus  O'Toole  Nonesuch  " 
(6*"  S.  ix.  4G7.) — The  print  described  is  a  rare  one 
by  Delaram,  prefixed  to  a  production  of  Taylor, 
the  Waier  Poet,  entitled  The  Great  O'Toole,  an 
Encomium,  or  Enco-mi-ans-irick  ....  to  tht 
honour  of  the  noble  Captain  O'TooU,  8vo.,  London, 
1622.  The  subject  of  the  print  was  a  military 
adventurer,  a  braggadocio,  and  a  butt,  of  whom  u 
slight  notice  will  be  found  in  Granger.  The  lines 
are,  I  presume,  by  the  Water  Poet  himself.    The

Boorn  Family  (5<^  S.  vii.  288,  397.)-The 
Durham  County  Advertiser  of  April  19  last 
records  the  death  of  John  Booth,  of  Sherburn; 
near  Durham,  and  contains  the  following  parti- 
culars of  the  deceased  and  his  family,  which,  if 
transferred  to  the  columns  of  "  N.  &  Q.,"  may 
possess  some  interest.  It  is  certainly  unu-sual  to 
find  two  generations  of  the  same  family  {father 
and  son)  covering  so  long  a  period  as  141  years. 

"The  deceased,  who  had  attained  his  eighty-fifth 
ypar,  was  the  son  of  George  Booth,  nf  CotvEon,  Yorkebire, 
who  was  bom  in  178T,  and  died  in  the  ninety-second 
year  of  his  agfi ;  thus  two  mnerations  have  covered  the 
unusually  long  period  of  Ijl  years.  Tbe  late  Mr.  Booth 
WHS  a  great-nephew  of  John  Booth,  of  Rillcrby  and 
Warlaby,  who  by  his  will  entailed  these  estates  on 
Thomas  Calvert,  with  a  remainder  in  dcrault  of  issue  to 
tbe  deceased  gentleman's  father.  Tliis  Thomas  Calvert 
took  the  nnme  of  Booth  in  accordance  with  a  direction 
contained  in  the  will,  and  in  the  ancestor  of  tbe  present 
families  of  that  name  at  Killerby  and  Warlaby.  Mr. 
Booth,  of  Sherburn,  was  well  known  in  the  county  of 
Durham  as  an  enterpriiiing  ngriculturist  while  bo  re- 
sided on  his  property  of  Sherburn  Grange."

nerinj;  his  library.  Why  may  not  the  hi.'*hop  have 
directed  it  to  be  sold,  and  the  colonel  have  bought 
it  of  the  executors  ?  Or  if  he  begged  it  or  borrowed 
it  or  stole  it,  it  would  not  matter;  he  got  it  some-

Tho  iiini  and,  to  o  certuin  extent,  tho  nulnro  of 
tht<  athletic  oxercUes  underwent  cooMdoniblo 
moiliRetition  in  tho  cniinic  of  time.  The  profes- 
sional athletes  came  into  existence,  the  highest 
object  of  wboMc  ambition  was  the  crown  which 
udornod  the  victor's  brow,  the  ucclaouitionK  of  the 
ofHcmbled  multitude,  iind  the  kiudatoiy  verses  of 
the  poets  ;  who  cousidered  the  tiaeloBS  triumph  of 
tJie  arena  a  sufficient  reward  for  years  of  the 
■CYerest  truininff  and  vohintarv  subjection  to  pri- 
vation and  hardships.  Amongst  tltt^  people,  for 
whom  the  gamed  were  a  source  of  pteoaunible 
exciiemeot,  the  athletes  soon  rose  to  be  in  high 
(iLvour.  But  by  those  whoM  judgment  iv.is  not 
inlliienccd  by  the  nnretusoning  tnstc  of  the  multi- 
(ude  many  a  proteat  was  miKod  ugaiiiHt  a  pro- 
fL'sxiun  which  they  held  to  he  ii-ieless  to  the  state 
and  often  p^^rnicioiw  to  inrfiridunJs. 

Plato  is  cliroQologicilly  the  ^t  of  tboao  who 
have  \e(i  us  their  opmioDs  on  a  question  which 
WHS  of  paramount  importaQco  in  the  uncient  world, 
nnd  which  is  not  without  a  curtain  intcrtist  even  in 
our  daysL  It  was  sborlJy  before  his  tiitio  that 
athletics  became  n  HpecinJ  profession  and  an  art 
(see  Oalen,  vtftl  tarfi.  xai  yvfxi'afrt^  cap.  xxxiii.). 
Inhti4trc:itiiieon  Uws  he  fully  recof^uizes  the  utility 
of  Hthktic  exercises  for  the  uoiuisitton  of  the  iij^ility 
of  Iiiind,  the  swiflnegfl  of  foot,  and  the  skiU  in 
wrestling,  whicli  were  all  iiii|K}rtAitt  to  the  woiriots 
of  thn<e  days,  when  a  pitched  battle  was,  in  raoUty, 
little  else  thuk  a  series  of  single  cotubate.  Ho  lays 
down  a  syMAin  of  athletic  training,  and  propOMS 
thai  rvwards  ahoold  be  bestowed  un  those  who 
distingaisbed  thomselves  by  their  vxovllencii  in  all 
tlio  exercises  tending  to  perfoct  the  art  of  war. 
Bui,  on  the  other  hnnd,  he  excludes  from  his 
model  leptiblic  all  that  did  not  keep  this  great 
object  in  view  (see  Plato,  JJe  Ltyibug,  1.  viiL).

charge  of  partiality.  It  is  sot  improbable  that,  in 
treating  athletes  with  such  indulgence,  Plato 
lemembered  the  time  when  he  shared  in  their 
sports  and  had  serious  thoughts  of  itdoptiug  their 
profession. 

Solon  the  legislator  was  less  tolerant  in  his 
Tiewa.  His  code  imposed  a  wholesome  check  to 
the  popular  passion  for  public  games  and  to  the 
profuse  expenses  into  which  whole  provinces  were 
led  by  them.  The  athletes  themselvea  he  con- 
sidered a  burden  to  the  state  and  their  victories 
more  hurtful  to  the  country  than  to  the  advenmries 
against  whom  they  fought : —

Plutarch  expresses  himself  in  the  same  sense 
when  he  attributes  the  sffeminacy  and  the  decay 
of  the  Greek  nation  to  the  false  and  vicious  train- 
ing which  caused  them  to  prefer  the  fume  of  the 
athlete  to  that  of  the  warrior,  and  which,  ho  says, 
made  those  who  were  submitted  to  it  similar  in 
body  and  mind  to  the  stone  pillars  of  the  gymna- 
sium (see  Plutarch,  De  tianitale  Tuenda). 

But  of  all  who  have  inveighed  against  the  art  of 
the  athletes,  either  in  ancient  or  in  modern  times, 
Gulcn  is  the  most  uncompromising  and  the  bit- 
terest. Ho  refuses  to  recognize  the  name  of  art, 
which  they  have  given  to  their  profession,  he  says, 
to  obtain  for  it  respect  and  consideKition  of  which 
it  is  wholly  unworthy.  He  styles  it  KaKorcxviap 
xiroSfo/ici^v  oiio/xaTt  o'cjwi'w,  and  ho  proceeds  to 
expose  the  evils  attending  it  with  unsparing 
severity.  Health,  which  ronsists  in  moderation, 
cannot  fail,  he  says,  to  be  affected  by  a  profession 
of  which  the  chief  object  seems  to  be  to  increase 
the  size  and  weight  of  the  body,  and  t»  render  the 
blood  thick  and  viscous.  He  maintains  that  the 
tniining  of  athlefes  is  not  only  useloss  to  the 
acquisition  of  real  strength  and  vigour,  but  that 
it  is  also  dangerous  and  productive  of  numerous 
evils,  such  us  the  total  losa  of  the  voice,  tlie  rup- 
ture of  a  blood  vessel,  and,  worse  still,  the  total 
loss  of  the  limbs,  or  even  death  itself  from  apo- 

f)lexy.  Hence  he  concludes  that  a  good  and  wise 
cgislature  should  forbid  a  profession  which  de- 
stroys or  perverts  the  strength  of  the  body,  and 
which  produces  men  useless  for  all  the  practical 
purposes  of  life,  unable  to  support  the  serious 
fatigues  of  war  or  even  of  a  long  journey,  and 
totally  disfiualified  for  the  responsible  duties  of 
civil  life  (see  Galen,  tte/h  larp.  koi  yvfivao-i). 

The  excessive  diet  of  athletes  and  their  uselesa- 
ness  as  well  in  peace  as  in  war  are  also  the  points 
which  Euripides  has  mode  the  subject  of  his 
strictures  in  the  'AitoAvkos  irpurof,  a  satirical 
piece  of  which  Galen  has  prMerved  a  fragment. 


"  Of  the  m&ny  evils  which  exist  in  Greece,  mjs  th» 
poet,  none  \b  more  pemicioua  tfaan  the  profewion  of  the 
athletes.  In  thefint  place  tfaeyare  incKpabla  of  learning 
to  live  decently,  for  how  is  it  possible  that  a  man  who  ia 
the  slave  of  his  mouth  and  of  his  belly  should  work  to 
acquire  means  of  subsisteuce  for  his  family?  Moreover, 
they  do  not  know  how  to  suffer  poverty  and  accommodat« 
themselves  to  fortune,  for  not  being  formed  to  good 
manners,  it  is  difficult  for  tbem  to  change  their  character 
even  in  adversity.. ..Even  thoaeh  an  athlete  excel  ia 
wrestling,  be  twift  of  foot,  skilled  at  throwinfc  the  diecoa, 
or  at  boxing,  is  the  crown  which  he  wins  of  any  ose  to 
his  country  ?  Will  he  repel  the  enemy  with  the  discos, 
or  will  he  put  him  to  flight  by  hii  swiftnesa  at  racing  f 
All  these  follies  are  useless  in  a  hand-to-hand  fight." — 
Euripides,  a  pud  Qalen. 

As  to  the  training  which  the  authorities  qnoted 
above  pronounce  to  be  so  pernicious  to  both  mind 
and  body,  ample  information  is  found  scattered  in 
the  works  of  ancient  writers.  To  begin  with  the 
diet  imposed  on  athletes,  it  appears  to  have 
changed  with  the  various  phases  of  development 
of  their  art.  Pliny  informs  us  that  it  originally 
consisted  chiefly  of  dried  figs,  and  that  an  athlete 
of  the  name  of  Pythagoras  was  the  first  who  intro- 
duced the  use  of  flesh  : — 

"  Sicc%  fici  corpus  ct  vires  adjuvant :  ob  id  ante 
athletic  hoc  cibo  pascebantur :  Pythngonis  exercitator, 
primus  ad  cames  eos  transtulit." — Hut.  A'af.,  L  xxiii. 

c.  7. 

Preference  was  given  to  pork,  which  was  supposed 
to  be  most  nutritious : —

Facult.,  cap.  ii. 

It  was  eaten  with  a  coarse  kind  of  bread,  a  com- 
pound of  half-leavened  dough  and  cheese,  called 
coliphium.  It  was  doubtless  owing  to  the  sim- 
plicity of  this  diet  that  some  of  the  early  fathers 
quote  athletes  as  models  of  abstemiousness,  for  as 
regards  the  quantity  of  the  food  which  they  con- 
sumed they  might  more  fittingly  be  cited  as  ex- 
amples of  almost  superhuman  voracity.  Galen 
seriously  iissures  us  that  two  pounds  of  meat  and 
bread  in  proportion  were  considered  a  very  mode- 
rate meal  for  an  athlete  : —

Theocritus  mentions  an  athlete  of  the  name  of 
Egon  who  thought  it  no  great  achievement  to  de- 
vour eighty  rolls  or  cakes  : —

Such  feats  of  gluttony  might  almost  indnce  us  to 
believe  what  is  related  of  the  famous  Milo,  that 
he  carried  a  heifer  four  years  old  through  the- 
stadium  at  Olympia,  and  afterwards  eat  the  whole- 
of  it  in  a  single  clay.  L.  Babb^

and  made  my  labours  comparutivelT  easy,  espe- 
ciuUy  as  regards  the  Caricature  Jlislory  of  the 
Bouse  of  Hanot'cr. 

The  task  of  producing  any  approiich  to  a  work 
which  should  be  fairly  representative  of  Thomas 
KowlaodsoD's  remarkable  powers  is  surrounded 
with  difficulties, Bince,althoughthearti3t  notoriously 
produced  thousands  of  dniwiogs  and  etchings,  his 
productions  have  been  scattered  fur  and  wide,  and 
too  many  of  them  have  been  destroyed  during  the 
half  century  which  has  elapsed  since  the  carica- 
turist's death.  As  a  proof  of  the  strong  interest 
which  many  of  your  able  correspondents  take  in 
the  original  conceptions  of  this  gifted  humourist  I 
have  only  to  refer  to  the  comitiunications  on  the 
subject  which  have  appeared  in  yonr  pages  (4"*  S. 
iv.  89,  224,  278,  40n,  541,  &c.).  You  must  allow 
me  to  instance  more  particularly  the  capital  and 
appreciative  articles  which  appeared  in  yoiir  puges, 
the  same  year,  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  "William 
Bates,  B.A,,  RI.II.C.S.— a  gentleman  who  is  well 
infonued  on  the  subject,  ami  one  who  thoroughly 
appreciates  those  higher  quidities  of  the  artidt 
which  have  almost  been  lost  sight  of.  It  is  a  point 
of  consequence  to  make  my  volume  (which  I  am 
well  aware  will,  at  best,  be  vorj-  imperfect)  as 
complete  aa  possible  under  existing  circumstances, 
and  in  furtherance  of  this  desirable  end  I  shall  be 
happy  to  insert  the  titles  and  descriptions  of  any 
really  interesting  subjects  with  which  your  cor- 
respondents may  be  good  enough  to  favour  me, 
since  I  have  frequently  noticed  allu$ion.s  in  your 
columns  to  private  collections  (presimiahly  of 
gcneml  interc.-it  and  value)  in  the  possession  of 
your  correspondents. 

I  have  prepared  a  list  of  the  published  subjects 
(chronologically  arranged)  which  have  come  within 
luy  knowledge.  This  synopsis  includes  social  and 
political  caricatures  and  book  illustrations,  em- 
bracing all  the  examples  I  have  been  able  to  trace 
in  national  collections,  to  bediscovered  in  libraries 
and  uuiseums  at  home  and  abroad,  besides  those 
prints  whifh  are  to  be  found  in  the  folios  of  my 
friends  who  are  interested  in  the  ^ame  pursuit, 
and  those  specimens  I  have  had  the  fortune  to 
secure  in  a  preliminary  stage  of  my  undertaking, 
before  caric-atures  by  RowJandson  became  un- 
attainable. I  shall  be  happy  to  forward  copies  of 
my  appendix  (which  contains  references  to  upwanis 
of  1,&IK)  works)  to  those  benevolently-minded 
collectors  who  are  inclined  to  add  to  my  informa- 
tion on  subjects  by  Eowlandson,  by  supplying  me 
with  particulars  of  any  instances  within  their 
observation  which  may  happen  to  have  escaped 
my  researches. 

I  shall  be  glad  also  to  be  reuiinded  of  any  ori- 
ginal  drawings  of  actual  importance  in  the  pos- 
session of  any  of  your  fortunate  renders.  I  must 
meotioD,  however,  to  save  trouble,  that  this 
curiosity  chiefly  refers  to  the  larger  examples,  and 


is  limited  to  figure  subjects  ;  the  number  of  land- 
scape and  small  inconsequential  sketches  is  ]e;tioii, 
and  the  interest,  from  the  incredible  multiplicntioir 
of  the  lesser  works,  is  confined  to  drawings  of  real 
consequence  as  to  size  and  attractiveness  as  to 
subject.  Joseph  Greoo.

As  Old  Letteii. — Some  time  ago  I  came  across 
a  curious  old  letter,  of  which  I  send  an  authentic 
copy.  It  may  prove  interesting  as  the  writer  of 
the  original  was  one  of  the  fin»t  to  introduce  from 
Aberdeen  into  the  Low  Countries  the  "  plaiding" 
which  afterwards  came  into  such  general  use.  The 
orthography  much  resembles  that  employed  by 
Lord  l>undee  forty  years  later,  and  which  called 
forth  the  abuse  of  Lord  Macauhiy.

Epitaph.  —  The  following  curioua  epitaph  I 
copied  some  days  ago  in  (Jodshill  Churchyard,  a  few 
mOea  from  thia  town.  It  will  not  vie  in  Cjuainttiess 
or  raciness  with  many  of  the  epitaphs  to  be  found 
in  our  country  churchyards  ;  still,  as  an  effu.sion  of 
what  Gray  calls  "  the  unlettered  muse,"  it  is  not 
without  merits  of  its  own.  The  date  is  1615.  I  do 
not  kaow  what  the  letters  EX  at  the  end  stand  for. 

"A  sudden  Death  it  was  my  Lot 

Was  seen  by  mortal  Eyes. 
May  not  my  Children  be  forgot

On  Earth  I  labour'd,  tho*  in  Pain,

Hkrd-bot    Lorr. — Some    time    back  I  came 
across  a  copy  of  the  following  doggerel  lines,  which, 
it  ii  stated,  were  popular  thirty  or  forty  years 
ago  among  the  swineherds  of  the  county  of  Kent : 
"  One  beforfl  two,  three  before  five, 
Here  one  and  there  one,  four  alire  ; 
Here  two  and  there  two,  and  three  at  the  orosB, 
Here  one  and  there  one,  and  Jack  at  the  last." 

These  lines  the  herds  were  in  the  habit  of  repre- 
F«ntio<r  by  means  of  notches  cut  upon  their  whip- 
handler,  thns : —

The  above  suggested  to  me  a  similar  doggerel  used 
by  the  cowherds  of  Aberdeenshire,  with  which  I 
vfiia  familiar  about  thirty  years  ago.  The  lines, 
which  I  give  in  the  broad  Doric  of  the  county,  run

The  two  seem  to  be  but  different  versions  of  one 
original,  and  being  met  with  among  the  same  dims 
of  persons,  ia  districts  of  the  country  lying  so  wide 
apart  an  Kent  and  Aberdeenshire,  it  seems  pretty 
evident  that  they  date  from  a  very  remote  period. 
Has  any  reader  of  "  N.  &  Q."  met  with  similar 
lines  in  other  districts  of  the  country  1  Or  can  any 
one  hazard  an  opinion  as  to  their  origin  1  I  am 
inclined  to  think  that  they  are  of  Saxon  origin,

QtrARTERINGS     OP     HUNT     OP     ASOOVBR     AKD 

Aston. — The  following  quartered  coat  of  the 
Derbyshire  family  of  Hunt  is  given  in  Harl.  MSS. 
1093,  5809,  and  in  Egerton  MS.  996,  and  it  also 
appears,  though  wrongly  tinctured,  on  a  monument 
in  the  church  of  J&ton-on-Trent  : — 1,  Arg.,  a 
bugle  so.,  on  a  chief  gu.  three  mullets  pierced  of 
the  field  ;  2,  Sa.,  a  chevron  ermine  between  three 
escallops  arg. ;  3,  Az.,  a  chevron  gu.  between 
three  crescents  or ;  4,  Arg.,  a  greyhound  oourant 
sa.,  collared  or.  The  first  is  the  coat  of  Hunt,  but 
I  shall  be  glad  to  have  the  others  identified.  The 
pedigrees  given  in  the  above  MSS.  do  not  go  back 
far  enough  to  give  the  marriage  or  marriages  by 
which  they  were  gained.  There  is  also  in  Aston 
Church  an  altar  tomb  with  two  efiigies  (which  I 
take  to  be  temp.  Henry  VI.)  having  the  second 
and  third  of  these  quarterings  on  the  sides.  I 
have  hitherto  quite  failed  to  identify  it,  and  shall 
be  grateful  for  any  assistance.  It  seems  certain 
that  the  owner  of  quartering  No.  2  left  an  heiress 
holding  property  at  Aston,  which  passed  by  mar- 
riage to  Hunt.  I  have  consulted  Papworth's 
Armorial,  but  with  no  avail,  for  the  family  of 
Farewell  of  Somerset,  or  Farway  of  Devon,  seems 
to  have  had  no  connexion  with  Derbyshire.

Thomas  Karr. — In  the  late  Dr.  Doran's  in- 
teresting volume.  Knights  and  their  Days,  there  is 
a  chapter  on  Jacques  do  Leiaing,  and  at  p.  231 
mention  is  made  of  an  English  knight,  Thomas 
Karr,  who  contended  with  him.  As  on  p.  219 
there  is  a  reference  to  original  sources,  I  shall  be 
glad  to  have  a  reference  to  the  same.  The  contest 
WHS  in  1 449,  at  Bruges.  Now,  in  that  year  Thomas 
Karr  was  appointed  to  some  office  by  King 
Henry  VI.,'*^  and  in  1454  he  was  made  Groom 
of  the  Robes  to  Henry  VI.,t  just  after  Jacques 
de  Lelaing's  death.  In  1479  a  Thomas  Karr, 
of  Newton  j.  M.,  in  Northumberland,  died, 
leaving  an  heir  forty  years  old.  Since  the 
Northumbrian  Karrs  or  Cnrrs,  as  Lancastrians 
returning,  received  grants  from  Henry  VII.,  it 
seems  not  unlikely  that  thia  Thomas  Karr  may  be 
the  one  mentioned  in  Knights  and  their  Days,  but 
in  his  inq.  p.m.  he  is  not  a  knight,  which  seems 
fatal  to  his  being  the  man.  Any  other  particulars, 
or  reference  to  any  original  records,  will  oblige.

five  years,  I  believe,  since  this  most  slippery  of 
quotations  last  appeared  in  your  pages.  It  has  com- 
pletely baffled  several  contributora  to  "  N.  &  Q.," 
myself  included.  It  seems  to  be  pretty  well 
settled  that  it  is  not  in  Froissart,  ilonatrelet, 
Sully,  or  Cominea.  It  is  very  stninge  that  every 
attempt  to  find  the  quotation  should  result  in 
toUnl  defeat.  The  amusinf;  part  of  the  affair  is 
that  if  you  ask  any  one  where  the  phrase  is  he  is 
almost  sure  to  reply,  In  Froissart ;  but  if  you 
follow  up  your  query  by  another,  Whereabouts  in 
Froissart  ?  he  is,  in  the  vernacular  of  the  immortal 
Mr.  Weller,  "  dumb  as  a  drum  with  a  hole  in  it."

enlij^hten  me  as  to  the  origin  and  derivation  of  the

always  known  of  lintf  oa  synonymous  with  gorse,

that  he  hitd  been  "  busy  watering  the  plants  in  hia 
ling."  The  hairdresser,  though  evidently  a  man 
of  more  than  ordinary  education  and  culture,  was 
unable  to  give  me  any  explanation  of  the  terra  ; 
in  fact,  judging  from  the  expression  of  his  coun-

reigning  the  ordinal  number  would  form  part  of 
the  title,  although  for  convenience  of  reference 
historians  and  others  have  universally  used  it.

KITS  COTY  HOUSE, 
(ft'h  S.  U.  427.) 

I  do  not  attempt  to  answer  Dr.  Mackat's 
query,  but  I  think  I  can  suj^gest  some  curioae 
matter  for  consideration  in  relition  to  it. 

At  Oner  Llwyd,  about  hidf  woy  hi>tween  Chen- 
slow  uDil  I'flk,  IS  a  cromlech — I  believe  the  only- 
one  in  Monmouttwhiie — the  origin  of  which  is  thus 
acttmnted  for  by  popuhr  tradition.  *'  Onoc  upon 
a  time,"  which  may  bo  token  to  mean  in  the  heroic 
figes  of  Owent,  there  lived  one  Twm  Sion  Cattl, 
wno  was  on  more  fiviniliar  tenus  than  a  OhristiAn 
gentleman  (if  ho  was  one)  ought  to  have  been  with 
his  Siilaoic  Majesty,  with  whom  he  one  day  cn- 
gnged  in  ft  friendly  game  of  quoits.  It  seems  to 
have  been  a  trial  aa  much  of  atrea\^U\  luk  w»:aw:r}

of  aim,  for  the  quoits  consisted  of  the  stones  which 
now  form  the  cromlech.  A  believing  imagination 
points  out  the  steps  by  which  each  cost  was 
matched  by  another  aa  good,  until  on  Twm  Sion 
Catti  throwing  a  stone  which  literally  capped  them 
all,  and  now  measures  upwards  of  twelve  feet  by 
four,  hia  adversary  gave  in.  Now,  as  there  was 
a  Twm  Sion  Catti  who  flourished  in  historic 
times— a  kind  of  Welsh  Robin  Hood  of  the  period 
of  Queen  Elizabeth — we  must  suppose  that  tradi- 
tion, with  its  usual  readiness  to  group  all  mar- 
vellous actions  around  oue  popuLir  hero,  has  con- 
founded his  name  with  an  earlier  on^  associated 
with  the  cromlech. 

And  here  arises  the  connexion,  or  possible  con- 
nexion, of  the  subject  with  the  name  of  Kit's  Coty 
House,  one  of  the  derivations  of  which,  in  books 
of  too  little  authority  to  quote  here,  is  given  as 
the  Celtic  coeten^ix  quoit.  In  Roberts's  Cambrian 
Popvlar  Antiquities,  p.  214,  a  story  is  told  of 
giants  playing  at  quoits  on  Crug  Mawr,  a  lofty  hill 
in  Cardi^nBhire,  when  one  of  them  threw  his  quoit 
clear  into  the  Irish  shore  ;  and  in  Brayley's 
Grajikic  and  Historical  Illustrator,  p.  203,  there 
ia  figured  a  cromlech  near  Newport,  Pembroke- 
shire, called  Coeton-Arthur,  or  Arthur's  Quoit. 
Nor  are  these  stories  of  gigantic  quoit-throwers  in 
connexion  with  prima^viu  monuments  confined  to 
"Wales,  for  in  Collinson's  History  of  Somerset, 
ii.  432,  in  speaking  of  the  circle  at  Stanton  Drew, 
particular  mention  is  made  of  an  immense  stone 
called  Hautville's  Quoit,  by  tradition  reported  to 
have  been  thrown  hither  by  that  gigantic  cham- 
pion Sir  John  Hautville,  from  his  place  of 
abode  at  Mays-Knolle-Hill,  upwards  of  a  mile 
distant. 

I  am  bound  to  add  that  I  have  no  knowledge  of 
the  Welsh  language,  and  on  referring  to  Dr.  Owen 
Pugh's  Wdsh-Enrflish  Dictionary,  first  edition,  I 
do  not  find  any  such  word  as  coetm,  meaning  a  quoit. 
But,  wliethor  there  be  such  a  word  or  not,  our 
English  <iHoit  or  coit  is  near  enough  in  form  to 
support  the  derivation  if  there  be  sufficient  founda- 
tion for  it  in  fact.  Without  going  into  questions 
of  philology,  its  connexion  with  the  verb  coi(  ^^ 
throw,  and  the  primitive  use  of  a  flat  stone  as  a 
discus  instead  of  the  modern  flattened  iron  ring,  is 
suEBciently  obvious.  Bishop  Corbet's  Iter  Borcale 
(p.  17!)  of  Mr.  Gilchrist's  edition  of  the  Poems, 
18(17)  has  a  very  simibr  word  in  the  sense  of  a  flat 
gravestone ; — 

"  Nothing  but  earth  to  earth,  do  potnpeous  wught 
Upon  him,  but  a  pibble  or  a  iiuaiU." 

Perhaps  some  of  your  other  correspondents  can 
furnish  additional  instances  of  cromlechs  connected 
with  traditions  of  supernatural  quoit-playing,  the 
names  of  which  may  suggest  a  still  closer  con- 
nexion with  that  of  Kit's  C^ty  House.

H-rdwick  Home,  Chapitow. 


The  origin  of  the  names  of  prehistoric  landmarks 
and  remains  is  enveloped  in  considerable  obscarity, 
but  adherence  to  a  few  plain  rules  will  generally' 
afford  some  clue  to  guide  us  out  of  the  labyrinth. 
It  is  tolerably  certain  that  the  names,  when  and  by 
whomsoever  given,  must  have  had  a  meaning  at 
the  time  ;  and  this  can  only  bo  ascertained  by  re- 
ference to  the  language  spoken  by  the  people  whO' 
conferred  them.  On  this  plain  and  self-evident 
principle  Dr.  Mackat's  derivation  from  the 
Groelic  is  quite  untenable.  Graelic  was  never 
spoken  in  South  Britain.  We  might  just  as  well 
derive  Kit's  Coty  House  from  Arabic  or  Chinese. 

We  have  palpable  evidence  of  the  fonuer  exist- 
ence of  a  Cymric  population  in  England  in  the- 
names  of  moat  of  the  rivers  and  mountains  and 
other  prominent  natural  objects,  and  in  many  of 
the  names  of  places.  This  is  not  su  much  the  cose 
with  (instructive  works :  Stonehenge,  Avebory, 
Silbury,  though  prehistoric  constructions,  have 
Saxon  names.  It  would  therefore  be  natural  in 
the  first  instance  to  inquire  if  Kit's  Coty  Hodw 
can  be  explained  in  Anglo-Saxon  or  English.  I 
am  afraid  that  no  intelligible  sense  can  be  ex- 
tracted out  of  it.  A.-S.  cote,  cot,  coty,  is  the  Cymric 
act,  pL  cyttiau,  a  hut  or  hovel.  The  name  would' 
then  simply  mean  "  Kit's  hovels,"  like  Wayland 
Smith's  cave  in  Berkshire.  This  may  be  so  ;  but 
if  we  can  find  in  the  Cymric  tongue  words  of 
similar  sound  with  an  appropriate  meaning  it  will 
at  least  afford  room  for  speculation. 

The  cromlech — a  tenn  common  to  Gaelic  and 
Cymric — bos  a  synonym  in  Cymric  cist-vatn, 
"  stone  chest."  Besides  these,  there  occur  in  con- 
nexion with  many  archaic  remains  hut  villages, 
consisting  of  collections  of  circular  low  walls,  sup- 
posed to  have  been  habitations.  These  in  Welsh 
are  called  Cyttiau.  There  may  have  been  such  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  Kit's  boty  House.  Cisl- 
cyltiau  (pronounced  Kist-cuttiau)  is  remarkably 
near  the  modern  English  appellation.  Again,  if 
we  take  the  name  to  be  Saxon  or  English,  Kit's 
Coty  or  Kit's  hovel  would  be  sufficient :  why  is  the 
superfluous  word  "house"  added? 

I  do  not  pretend  that  this  explanation  is  per- 
fectly convincing.  It  is  at  all  events  plousible.  I 
would  say  to  any  one  who  doubts 

"  Si  quid  noTisti  rectius  iitis 
CaiididuB  imperii ;  ei  non,  his  utere  mecum."

A  aiiniliir  custom  fn  ComiraU  mny  help  Dr. 
Mackav.  Here  the  cuatom  is  styled  "calling  the 
nttk."  The  day  on  which  llie  TjihI  of  the  wheat  is 
out  is  tbe  one  ob!>erved.  A  sheaf  is  takcD  and 
deoonted  with  flowers  ;  then,  when  Iho  duj'«  work 
is  over,  :U1  the  labourers  assemble.  One  with  the 
loudest  voice  takes  the  nick  and  calb  out,  "  I  hure 
'im,"  three  times.  A  second  answers,  "  What  b-tve 
yef''  three  times.  He  ia  an'iwere*!,  "A  neck, 
n  neck,  a  neck,"  when  the  who!e  asfembly  give 
tlireo  che*?rs.  This  eercmotiy  is  (jotie  Ihrougb 
three  times,  after  which,  in  acoordanco  with  old 
custom,  all  the  men  retire  to  supper  in  Ute  farm- 
house. £.  B.

"Carrying  the  -ntck"  is  a  good  old  custom  which 
has  not  yot  died  out  from,  at  any  rate.  North 
Devon.  Only  last  year  I  beard  it  said  that  on 
KUch  u  farm  they  had  "  carrieil  the  ruek  a  Tuesday 
bnckalont;;,"  iiiennin^lhat  the  harvest  was  finiiihed. 
It  is  a  good  many  years  since  I  heard  or  saw  the 
pttrfornmnco,  but  1  Kcem  to  remember  the  words 
u  having  been,  "A  ncckj  u  neck,  es  have  en":= 
we  hare  it.  I  remember,  tuo,  a  local  explanation 
of  why  these  cars  of  com  were  called  n  netk : 
"Tliey'm  tjiied  up  imder  the  chin  laike."  Ar© 
not  eun>  of  corn  of  which  the  straw  is  p'\rtly  broken, 
BO  that  they  h:inr;  down,  naid  to  be  necktd  ?

The  last  bondfnl  of  wheat  which  is  cut  is 
uRually  held  up  by  the  ren[>cr*  tn  triumph,  aod 
wheu  tied  lo|{L>tlicr  iu  a  funtn-Mic  way  like  a 
crown  is  called  the  nwi— why  I  know  not,  biit 
in  pure  Devon  it  would  be  pronounocd  a  nack. 
U'thaveti  is  also  Devonian  for  "  we  haw  it," 
shouted  triumphantly  by  all  in  the  field,  as  tho 
cry  of  the  jny  in  harvest  that  the  work  is  done.

I  thank  Mr.  Hart  for  his  "note"  on  the   in- 
adcqimcy  of  Innguiige  to  express  ideaa,  whether 
aeicntific  or  thMlogical.  and  on  the  latter  point  I 
will  venture  to  say  thnt  c\-ctk  the  "Word,"  when

convey  all  apiritmU  things  to  man's  knowledge, 
both  from  fiilure  io  hingiingo  to  e\i>re«s  them  and 
the  inability  ">f  the  hutuan  mind  to  comprehend 
them.    Indeed,  this  seems  to  be  admitted  :  "  What 
I  do  thou  knnweot  not  now  ;  but  thou  shalt  know 
hereafter."    Who  can  doubt  that  religious  disptitea 
iir«  constantly  OTcr  the  terminology  rather  than

definitcneM  I  will  tivke  the  words  of  Iwiiah  Ixvi. 
24,  "For  their  wonn  shall  not  die,  neither  Mball 
their  fire  be  quenched  ' ;  and  wlieo  we  find  thwft 
repeated  in  the  Gospel,  na  tho  everliwUnn  f»le  of

they  unqucHt  ion  ably  denounoe  future  punishment, 
the  allusions  mo  temporal  and  cbrthiy,  and  were 
possibly  dniwn  from  the  two  modes  by  which  tho 
body  limy  perish   after  death— interment,  where 
the  worm  acts,  and  cremation,  witli  its  pyre  and 
fl.ime,    referring    to    Imtb    Jewish    and    heathen 
customs.      The  differing  int*rpret.itions  over  the

said,  in  the  communion  from  vhich,  alas !  he  is 
now-  separated,  to  quote  his  own  beautiful  words 
written  on  the  death  of  a  dear  friend  in  1844 : 
"  He  still  lives  here,  the  light  and  comfort  of  many 
hearts."  G.  S. 

This  is  a  clerical  word,  and  was  probably  better 
known  fifteen  or  twenty  years  afjo  than  it  is  now. 
It  meuns  that  a  clergyman  has  views,  of  his  own  or 
of  somebody  else's,  concerning  doctrine  which  are 
likely  to  make  him  swerve  one  way  or  another 
from  tho  accepted  lines  of  orthodoxy  ;  and  what- 
ever interest  it  has  is  derived  from  the  fact  that  it 
thus  marks  the  berrinning  of  the  present  transition 
period  of  religious  thonght.  A.  J.  M.

A  "Pitch"  OP  CnRE.SK  (S"*  S.  ix.  407.)— The 
word  i>iich  is  not  peculiarly  applied  to  cheese, 
but  is  used  with  reference  to  any  article  which 
may  be  pitched  or  "placed  for  sale"  in  an  open 
market.  For  instance,  the  corn  market  at  Don- 
caster  is  termed  a  "  pitched  market,"  inasmuch  as 
a  farmer  c.in  t.'ike  the  bulk  of  his  com  to  market, 
pitch  it  in  tlie  corn  market,  and  sell  the  entire 
fjuantity,  instead  of  selling  by  sample.  The  mean- 
ing of  the  newspaper  account  as  quoted  by  Mr. 
Bleskinsoit  is  simply  this,  that  the  quantity  of 
cheese  pitched  last  year  at  Giiinsburgh  mart  was 
less  in  quantity  than  in  previous  years. 

W.   E.    HOWLETT. 

Pikh  is  not  used  exclusively  for  cheese,  but  it 
is  certainly  rare  in  relation  to  any  other  article 
except  grain.  I  have  often  heard  and  read  of  the 
pitch  of  oats,  wheat,  and  beans  at  Doncaster,  hut 
then  Doncnater  ia  what  is  called  a  "  pitched 
market,"  that  is,  the  seller  does  not  exhibit  a  small 
sample  of  his  grain  which  he  has  brought  with  him 
in  a  bag  iu  his  pocket,  but  a  sack  thereof,  which 
ia  pitched  in  the  market  hall.  K.  P.  D.  E. 

In  Gloucester,  and  throughout  the  county,  those 
who  are  "native  and  to  the  manner  born,"  and 
especially  old  people,  always  speak  of  the  cheese 
offered  at  market  as  "a  largo,"  "a  middling,"  or 
**  a  small  pitch,"  according  to  the  quantity. 

J.  H.  B. 

Oloucoster. 

In  order  to  feel  the  anitableness  of  this  word 
Mr.  BLRHEiirBOPP  shonid  Tiait  a  Northern  cheese 


fair  and  see  the  heaps  built  up  from  out  of  the 
farmers'  carts.  The  verb  to  ptteh,  which  ia  with 
us  rarely  used  except  in  relation  to  a  tent,  bos 
a  more  general  application  in  the  North. 

Trbgbaole. 
Penzance. 

This  is,  I  believe,  still  the  term  used  in  Leicester. 
I  do  not  think  that  it  is  especially  used  of  cheese. 
P.  J.  F.  Gantillos. 

Tesstson  ;  "Arrive  at  last  the  blesbkd 
GOAL,"  Jn  Memoriam,  poem  Ixxxiil  stanza  11 
(St"  S.  ix.  267.)— If  Brightwell's  Tennyson  Con- 
cordance may  be  trusted,  the  word  arrive  occurs 
hut  onco  in  the  Laureate's  works  down  to  1869. 
He  is  as  precise  as  Milton  in  the  application  of  it. 
He  says  that  his  own  spirit  might  take  flight  from 
earth  with  that  of  his  friend, 

"  As  linked  with  thine  in  love  and  fate. 
And,  hovering  o'er  tlie  dolorous  etnlt 
To  Oie  other  ikore,  involved  in  thee. 

Arrive  at  last  the  blessed  gniil, 
And  He  that  died  in  Holy  Land 
Would  reach  us  out  the  Kbiaiag  hand 

And  take  us  aa  a  single  soul." 

St.  SwiTHIW. 

Milton's  famous  lino  is  an  authority  for  this  use : 
"  Over  the  vast  abrupt,  ore  he  arrive 
The  happy  He."  Par.  Lott,  ii.  409. 

One  would  be  inclined  to  think  the  phrase 
a  Latinism  in  Milton,  but  it  occurs  also  in  Shake- 
speare, twice  at  least : — 

"  But  ere  we  could  arrive  the  point  propowd." 

Jul.  Cat.,  i.  2, 110. 
"  I  menn,  my  lords,  those  powers  that  the  queen 
Hath  raised  in  Qallia  have  arrived  our  eoatt," 

3  Benry  VI.,  v.  3,  8. 

No  doubt  "to  arrive  at"  and  "  to  arrive  in  "  are 
more  usual  phrases,  and  represent  the  French 
"arriver  a";  but  Shakespeare  very  often  uses 
a  construction  with  one  of  two  synonymous  verbs 
which  is  usual  with  the  other  only— thus  her© 
arrive  with  the  construction  belonging  to  reach. 
In  the  earliest  instance  of  nrriw  that  I  know  the 
construction  is  with  in :  "  Hii  arxuidt  in  the  north- 
contreyc "  (Robert  of  Gloucester) ;  but  I  do  not 
find  the  word  in  Strattmann's  DicHonary. 

O.  W.  Takcock. 

"  Patterroone  "  OR  "  Pdtterrooke  "  (5**  S. 
ix.  4R7.) — I  conjecture  the  word  to  be  no  other 
than  j»(((«r  on=an  inciter,  instigator,  in  which 
sense  it  ia  used  by  Shakespeare  in  the  Winlei'9 
Talc,  ii.  1,  141  :— 

"  You  are  abuied  by  some  putter  on 
That  will  be  damned  for  it";

because,  as  a  boy,  I  have  played  at  "  This  is  Tom 
Tidlcr's  ground,"  but  never  heard  a  phrase  in  the 
rewiotest  degree  resembling  either.  As  the  word 
is  Shakespcrian,  and  therefore  worthy  of  inter-

JoJiN  Mariifxk  or  Merkeck  (4*''  R.  v.  293.)— 
The  Litfl  Dr.  IIi-mi!ault  considered  that  there  w.ia 
not  sutficient  authority  for  spt'Uing  thi.i  name 
"  MerLeck."  I  have  just  discovered  a  document  in 
which  tliero  are  two  instances  of  the  name  being 
HO  !=ndt  by  John  Merheck  himself.  Ori;,^inal  wilt, 
dated  Sept.  9,  154(t  (P.C.C.):— "  WylUam  Tato, 
Canon  of  ...  .  WyndcHore  ....  I  bequyth  to  John 
Mcrbeck  v"  ....  mypareshatOheinsford  .... 
jjrc^eiit  John  Merbeek,  the  wryter  of  thijs  same 
Tcflnmenl." 

This  William  Tate  was  Canon  nf  \\  indsor 
lti2:i-40,  and  Prebendary  of  York  during  the  sinuo 
period  (see  Le  Neve's  Fiisti).  According  to  New- 
court  hi)  was  instituted  to  the  rectory  of  Chelms- 
ford in  April,  1522,  and  on  Sept.  11,  1-J40  (two 
dnye  after  the  making  of  his  will),  his  snccv.'<sor 
was  npjjointed  thereto.  J.  C.  0.  S.

New  Year's  Dat  Cdstom  (5*  S.  ix.  46.)— The 
custom  referred  to  by  Mr.  Williams  was  at  one 
time  very  preTalent  in  Scotland,  not  on  New 
Year's  Day,  but  on  Old  Year's  Day,  under  the 
name  of  Hofrmanay.  In  the  south  of  Scotland  it 
has  fjrrently  fallen  oif,  bnt  in  Tarions  rural  districts 
it  is  still  observed  to  a  limited  extent.  The 
children  go  in  companies,  chiefly  to  houses  of 
people  of  the  better  class,  and  repeat  the  simple 
rhyme : — 

"  Mj  feet '«  caald,  mr  ahoon  '■  thin, 
Gie  '■  my  cakes  an'  let  'a  rin." 

Another  but  less  common  rhyme  is : — 

"  Get  up,  gudewife,  an*  aliake  your  feathers, 
T)iiuia  thinlE  that  we  are  beggars ; 
>Vo  are  children  oot  for  play, 
Oie '■  oor  cakes  an*  let's  away." 

It  was  not  money  that  was  given  or  expected,  but 
a  cnke  and  perhaps  a  piece  of  cheese — somctinies, 
no  doubt,  oat  cake,  but  more  generally  a  bit  of 
wheat-flour  cake  baked  with  currants  and  misins. 
On  December  30  last  I  saw  a  basket  containint; 
perhaps  fifty  cnnant  rolls,  about  the  size  of  an 
ordinary  penny  roll,  ready  to  give  to  the  children 
who  might  call  next  day  on  their  hogmanay  errand. 
Further  particulars  may  be  found  in  Chambera'a 
Book  of  iMyt,  ander  the  date  December  31.

In  Gloucestershire  and  Worcestershire  children 
appear  at  the  doors  of  the  houses  early  on  Christmas 
morning,  as  well  as  on  New  Year's  morniDi;,  repeat- 
ing in  a  high-pitched  tone  the  following;  linos,  the 
first  four  of  which  correspond  with  those  sung  by 
the  Welsh  children : — 

"  I  with  yoa  a  merry  Christmas, 
A  happy  New  Jear, 
A  pocket  full  of  money, 

And  a  cellar  full  of  beer, 
And  a  good  fat  pig 

To  serve  you  all  the  year." 

I  have  not,  however,  observed  the  pierced  apple  in 
the  counties  named,  nor  do  I  know  its  origin.  I 
should  like  to  be  enlightened.  Ladtbird. 

This  custom  obbiined  in  Lancashire  on  Christmas 
morning  three  or  four  years  ago,  and  probably  does 
so  at  present.  Each  boy  or  girl  went  round  to  the 
houses  alone,  and,  in  addition  to  the  lines  already 
qaoted,  song : — 

"  I  knock  at  the  knocker, 
I  ring  the  little  betl ; 
Fkase  give  me  a  penny 
For  ainging  this  lo  w«U."

NOTES  ON  BOOKS,  kc. 
Tkt  Hiiton/  of  Ajttii/uitff.  From  the  Germnn  of  Prof- 
Max  Duncker.  By  Evelyn  Abbott,  -M.A.  Vol.  !• 
(Bentley  k,  t^on.) 
Tins  volitme  treats  of  tlio  ancient  Egyptians,  Ghnldscans, 
Arab!>,  CannHiiites,  and  Hebrews.  It  is  especially  a 
history  of  their  civilizations,  and  by  fur  the  mo!>t  inter- 
eitting  we  have  met  with.  The  German  author  has  bftpn 
at  once  scholarly  and  accurate  in  his  details,  and  irniphic- 
iii  his  style;  while  the  translator's  name  U  sufficient 
guarantee  for  the  correctness  of  tho  En^li^h  version.  In 
his  Hccount  of  Kgypt  I'rof.  Duncker  necessarily  discuwea 
the  vexed  question  of  Egyptian  chnmolo^ty.  Rejecting 
the  current  theory,  whicli  eiptains  the  numerou!! 
dynasties  of  kings  as  in  part  ov^rUpping  each  otlier,  ho 
regurds  them  as  strictly  succeieive;  and,  although  ho 
admits  that  his  dates  are  only  approximately  accurate, 
yet  from  the  evidence  of  the  monuments,  and  by  an  in- 
genious calculation  bused  on  tho  iSothis  periods  of  the 
priests,  he  reaches  results  ivbicli  bo  conaiderd  bi£;bly 
probable.  Tlius  Menes,  tlie  Ifgcndary  founilcr  of  tho 
Egyptian  monarchy,  would  begin  his  rei^n  in  tho  year 
'iV.i2  B.C.  Ho  nnd  his  BucccTi^or.*  until  iiCfil  ruled  at 
Memphis,  and  among  them  were  the  buililcrii  (jT  the 
throe  great  pyramids  nt  Giieh,  The  transfer  of  power 
to  Thebes  took  place  under  Phtojis  (^Oril);  and  to  (his 
Theban  ilynoaty  belonged  Auiencmlm  III.,  who  c. in- 
structed hake  Atceris,  at  Fayum,  for  purposes  of  iiri- 
gation,  and  the  labyrinth  near  it,  which  was  a.  ;;i;rjntic 
temple  and  sepulchre.  Fntm  2\0\  to  lOl'l  Knypt  wii<i 
under  the  sway  of  the  Hyksos,  or  yhepherJ  KinKS,  an 
alien  race  of  possible  Arikb  ori»^in,  whose  power  was 
broken  by  Amosis  of  Thebes  (I'JSl).  Ho  was  f  iHowed 
by  a  long  list  of  kinss.  of  the  names  of  Amormphii  and 
Tuthmosis;  the  third  Tuthmoais  (IMl-LWyt  being 
famous  as  a  mighty  conqueror,  who  carried  his  vie 
toriouH  arms  into  >ubia,  and  as  far  as  Me?o|iotamia; 
while  the  great  works  at  Thebes,  Kamak,  and  buxor 
testify  to  the  power  of  his  dynasty  at  home.  Kamses  I., 
Setlios,  and  Kamses  II.  {lj-13-]-i:i'i)  were  confused  by 
Herodotus  and  other  ancient  authors  under  the  name  of 
Sesoetris,  although  the  hut  was  tho  greatest  of  Egyptian 
warriors  and  builders. 

Almost  equal  to  the  Egyptians  in  the  art  of  building, 
and  superior  to  them  in  astronomical  science,  were  the 
Gbaldseani,  whom  Prof.  Duncker  next  describee.  Their 
knowledge  of  the  heavens  and  their  duodecimal  tvstem 
of  counting  appear  to  have  been  their  own ;  wUlLa  \JiA

Proniinenlly  alfio  figures  the  "TroubleBome  (jiiav

time.  He  is  reprosentea  u  complainiDg  to  the 
"  Society''  that  his  coffee  is  bad  ! 

I^uturally  one  looks  as  to  the  style  of  queries 
proposed  in  the  eeventeenth  century,  cotupAring 
them  with  the  qae«>tian»  luked  nnw-a-dayfi.  Id 
good  Booth,  mnny  nf  these  old  qaerien  are  of  a 
most  startling  nuture,  und  such  as  il  would  be 
hard  to  find  any  one  bold  enough  to  aalc  Id  the 
present  ngc,  even  iiDonyinously.  A  luerely  cftsunl 
clunce  through  ono  or  two  of  the  volumes  of  the 
Mnenry  is  snflietcnt  to  show  that  rerj'  many  of 
the  snbjerts  prnpnned  for  discuHKion  are  very  much 
like  those  to  be  ibund  in  any  Tolmnr  of  "  N.  &  Q.," 
especially  such  querie*  is  iwr  to  folk-lore.  Take 
BB  exnniples  the  following  :  "  What  are  wo  to 
think  of  the  little  clinkiag  noise  called  the  Death 
wat^rh  i"  or  "  Whether  it  bo  true  that  Storks  arc 
neirer  fonnd  hut  in  Conotoon-wenlthH ;  whellior 
there  vcre  never  any  in  Kngland  but  in  Oliver 
Cromwell's  days?"  "The  Toad  and  the  Spider, 
the  Autipnthy  betwixt  them'/"  &.c.  Some  of  the 
answers  lire  curioua  as  showing  the  stage  of  know- 
ledge reached  aC  the  time.  Thu»,  to  the  query 
"Whether  Japnu  be  nn  Island,  or  No?"  they 
answer,  with  r:nition,  "  We  shall  examine  the  best 
Authorittpsiicd  then  return  our  iinswer."  Ofconrso 
the  inquii^itire  »|>eculations  us  to  the  condition  of 
Adam  imd  Eve  before  the  Fall  are  to  be  found, 
drgcUHsed  nt  length,  "  Whence  had  Ihey  needles?" 
&C.  AIbo  the  Btanding  questions  on  the  subject  of 
Leviullino  and  Behenwlli.  The  "Society's"  reply 
regarding  Ihfl  latter  is  n  little  curious  ;  they  con- 
sider it  to  he  the  Ilipptipfiliiniuj*,  but  are  bo  nishas 
to  give  their  rensons  for  thinking  so.  After  quot- 
ing the  scriptural  account,  they  go  on  to  say  : —

abonnd,  and  are  usually  answered  in  one  way  ; 
for  Dunton  had  no  ntximnch  for  a  Jacobite ;  but 
curiously  enough,  one  but  nirely,  if  ever,  meets 
with  any  mention  of  coatempomry  writers  or  their 
ivnrl'^  The  answers  on  the  subject  of  the  History 
aod  Service  of  the  Church  of  England  are  Bicgulurly 


clear  and  good  ;  perhaps  womav  infer  tbfit  Ihewarfr 
from  the  pen  of  the  brother-tn-faw,  Siuiiin-I  Wesley. 
Thua  early  in  the  history  of  magazine  ttteniiutv. 
we  see  that  the  modem  custom  with  Mrial  write: 
of  holding  out  hope  of  something  sensational  iq 
Ihoir  "next"  wiuj  well  understood  by  the  "  Athe- 
nian Society,  or  their  publisher,  for  at  the  end  of 
the  supplement  to  one  volume  we  find  pro 
made  of  something  attractive,  in  the  next 
regarding  "Poijury  and  Pumpwater." 

Noted,  tco,  there  wore  occasionally,  as  dis- 
tinguished from  Queries  ;  some  of  these,  in  veree, 
by  "tho  Pindaric  Lody"  (Mr?.  Elizabeth  Singer, 
better  known  by  tho  name  of  her  future  hushnnd. 
Thomas  liowe)  were  much  thought  of.  It  ia  not 
easy  to  see  on  wliat  grounds. 

Tho   afterhtstocy  of  Dunton'a  pet  project  is 
learned  ft^jot  aa  eccentric  bocjk  written  by  the  par- 
tially-cnized  bookeeller,  and  cntilicti  The  Lifiaxd 
F.TTQt*  of  John  DuHton,  CUiu'n  of  Londtnt,  &c 
In  it  he  complains  bitterly  of  the  treatment  he  bad 
received  at  the  hands  of  Daniel  Dc  Foe,*  who, 
when  DuDtoD  bad   to  ducontinne   the   Mtrrnry 
on  account  of  the  "glut  of  i»ewa  in  the  Coffee-      i 
bouses"  ("they  had,"  he  says,  "the  tot^^  vmry  M 
day  and  nine  newspapers  every  week  ")  and  had  to  | 
suDstituCo  the  Matithiy  Ornrlik,  "interloped  in  tho 
Quealion  Project "  by  publishing  Answers  every 
Tuesday,  for,  aa  Dunton  quaintly  piit-s  it,  "  moat 
are  seized  with  the  Athenian  itfh  and  chuse  rather 
to  be  scratched  Weekly  than  stay  till  tho  month  U 
out  for  a  perfect  cure." 

I  Hcurcely  think  Mr,  Grant  luu  shown  his  usual 
penipiniily  in  di-aliug  with  this  point  in  the  IJitU 
of  Oit  Nfjctpapcr  Prfu.  Though  be  hwa  notice  of

QDITIE3.— The  imiwrtant  Arjiin  religious  symbol  of 
tinoiii^a,  or  Arrnii,  wliicb  is  to  be  seen  on  aonio  of 
the  remninsof  the  eurly  Trojtin  pottery  now  on  view

Dr.  Schliemann  c<mHitUra  that  it  and  several 
otiiers  were  rclijjious  nynibols  "common  to  our 
ancentoTs  at  a  time  vhen  Gcniinns,  PeltHginQs, 
Hindoos,  Penliuis,  Celts,  and  Oreeke  still  formoil

D.C.  a  assii^ned.  It  ia  abo  on  .1  Critic  fnnereftJ 
urn  found  in  Norfolk,  besides  which  it  is  di»covered 
"ft  thonfwnd  tinea  in  the  catacombs  of  Rome'' ; 
and  Dr.  Schlicmnno  nlso  eiiys  "  n  whole  row  of 
these  tiiuutiiyui "  in  to  be  seen  "  nil  round  the 
famous  pulpit  of  St.  Ambrose  in  Milan." 

Mr.  Charles  BoutcU,  in  bii  work  on  KnyliAh 
Htmidry,  mentioos  this  symbol  under  the  title  of 
Fyl/ot,»»  bvinKfounduD  uitlitar)-  nnd  ccclefuustical 
deoonilioiui  in  EnglAod,  and  (fives  na  examplfl  of 
it  from  the  aonumeot  of  Biuiop  Bnuucombe  in

mnnn'ti  work  rony  not  be  within  the  rearli  of  lU 
raiders  of  "N.  &  Q.,"  and  I  venture  to  think  this 
piece  of  mythology  irorthy  of  a  corner  in  jour 
world-wide  read  paKM.

pORsiUe,  A  list  of  all  the  localities  iu  Et)>;land. 
where  thi.t  symbol  oocure,  and  to  trace  itji  orii»iD 
here,  thoujjh  its  use  in  vumpanitively  modem  work 
in  iLdy  lui^ht  account,  partially  at  »uy  rate,  for

Ok  a  Passage  rx  Scott's  "  AsrignABr." — 
Few  pogefl  of  the  Waverley  Novels  are  richer  in 
humonr  tlmn  the  fnurlh  chaiiter  of  Ihr  Antu^utrry, 
where  Kdie  ()L-hillree,  the  Iting'-i  bedesmim,  sud- 
denly confounds  Mr.  Oldbuck'a  learned  theory  of 
the  orif^in  of  the  Kaim  of  Kinpninei  by  the  pro- 
voking nstertion  that  "  Pnctorian  here,  Pmlorian 
there,  I  mind  the  bigijing  o't,"  and  that  the  nija- 
tvrious  iniliula,  A.  D.  L.  L.,  instead  of  repreeentiBg

Mr.  Lusignan  niarriod  a  Scotch  lady,  and  had  bodb, 
■who,  I  believe,  dispersed  themselyes  over  the  globe. 
I  have  beard  that  soon  after  his  settlemeDt  in 
England  Mr.  Lusi^^an  laid  before  the  East  India 
Company  a  plan  for  carrying  the  Indiaa  mail 
through  Egypt  to  Coptos  and  Berenice,  and  that 
he  thought  himself  neglected  when  his  proposal 
was  adopted.  Of  this  remarkable  name  there  was 
formerly  a  £uiiily  resident  in  Devonshire,  the  data 
and  circumstances  of  whose  arrival  in  England  I 
should  be  glad  to  know.  Gwavas. 

A  MosuMRNTAL  INSCRIPTION. — I  venture  to 
write  to  ask  if  you  cm  throw  any  light  on  the  in- 
scription of  which  I  send  yon  a  copy.  The  date  is 
during  the  most  troubled  part  of  the  Common- 
wealth. Has  the  inscription  been  obliterated  in 
part  from  party  feeling?  Perhaps  so  ;  but  then 
this  is  a  poor  remote  parish  on  the  chalk  downs  of 
Kent. 

Old  gravestone,  the  only  one  left  out  of  the  four 
supports  to  the  upper  slab,  which  is  missing,  fixed 
up  on  south  side  of  a  stone  vaulted  grave  in  the 
churchyard  of  Wormshill,  Kent : —

The  left  side  apparently  has  no  words  carved  on  it. 
Perhaps  it  was  left  to  be  filled  up.  The  letters 
marked  with  a  ?  are  not  verj-  distinct ;  the  others 
are  very  distinct  and  well  carved.

Lincolnshire  Heads. — In  some  unpublished 
notes  of  Wm.  lilundell,  of  Crosby,  Lane,  Esq.,  a 
Captain  of  Dragoons  under  Sir  Thomas  Tildesley  in 
the  Royalist  army  of  1C42,  I  find  the  following 
curious  entry : — 

"  I  did  once  enquire  of  a  habcrdaslier  of  hats  [this  wai 
in  London  about  16ti]]  who  hniI  n  wholesale  tr»de  with 
most  part*  of  Eiiuland,  whether  he  had  observed  that 
any  counties  of  Kngland  did  produce  heads  remarlca^ly 
(treat  or  remarkably  little;  and  he  told  me  that  the 
beads  of  Lincolnsliire  ini^n  were  generally  smaller  than 
any  others  that  he  met  with." 

Is  this  peculiarity  noticeable  in  Lincolnshire  at 
the  present  day  1  T.  O.  G.

Goldsmith  an  "Inspirrd  Idiot."— According 

to  the  author  of  the  article  "  Goldsmith  "  ia  the 

Ency.  Brit  (eighth  ed.,  x.  708),  it  was  Horace 

Walpole  who  spoke  of  Goldsmith  aa  "an  inspired 

idiot";    whilst  the   Rev.    G.    Gilfillan    (Poetical 

Works  of  Goldsmith,  &c.,  Edin.,  James  Nichol, 

p.  xxiv)  says  it  was  Garrick.     Which  was  it  ?

Lord  HARDwicinc.— In  the  Birm.  Book  Cat.  of 
W.  Brough,  July,  1878,  there  is  this  anecdote:— 
"  Lord  Chancellor  Hardwicke  is  said  to  have 
resigned  his  office  and  the  seals  on  purpose  to  read 
it  [De  T/tou's  Uittory  of  his  Own  Tinu]  in  the 
original  language.  Dr.  Adyni  Clarke."  What 
foundation  is  there  for  this  story  ?

"  SBRENDiriTT."- A  word  coined  by  Honce 
Walpole  to  express  the  luck  of  a  [terson  wt  soooer 
or  later  obtained  what  he  desired.  C&B  any  one 
suggest  any  history  to  the  word  ?  It  does  not 
appear  to  have  any  root  or  etymology.  Did  it 
not  more  probably  arise  from  some  mere  passing 
table-talk  ?  The  word  has  been  quoted  in  soau) 
recent  monthly.  O. 

CoRSTON  Church,  Somerset.— There  is,  or  WH 
until  lately,  carved  on  one  of  the  pews  of  the 
parish  church  of  Corston,  co.  Somerset,  a  shidd 
bearing  on  a  chevron  a  mermaid  holding  in  one 
hand  a  comb,  in  the  other  a  bag  of  gold.  Ate 
these  the  arms  of  the  Brittons,  lords  of  the  mtatat 
of  Corston,  and,  if  so,  arc  they  correctly  stated  1 
or  do  they  belong  to  some  other  family  7

The  Earl  of  Barrymore,  1793.— Would  some 
of  your  numerous  correspondents  kindly  favour 
me  with  any  information  they  may  be  able  to  mn 
concerning  the  famous  amateur  actor,  the  Km  of 
Barrymore,  and  his  countess  1  His  lordship  met 
his  death  in  1703  by  accident.  Dutton  Cook,  in 
his  "  Notes  on  Amateur  Actors "  (Once  a  WstL 
August,  1865),  mentions  that  a  brief  memoir  of 
his  life  was  published  by  John  Williams  in  tlw 
year  of  his  death  ;  but  as  I  have  been  unable 
to  obtain  a  copy,  perhaps  some  of  your  rea^n 
could  put  me  in  the  way  of  getting  one.  Gronow, 
in  his  ReTniniscenceSj  mentions  him,  but  beyond 
these  notices,  and  an  occasional  reference  to  the 
earl  as  a  notorious  madcap  in  sundry  books,  I  cai 
find  no  connected  review  of  his  life  and  doings,'* 
of  his  family.  In  the  mean  time,  I  should  fct 
thankful  for  any  information  your  readers  oia 
supply,  both  as  regards  his  lordship  and  also  as  to 
the  ahee  career  of  the  Countess  of  Barrymore.

Act.  iit.  sc.  4,  11.  16~-IR0,  and  the  context. 
Hamlft  tells  his  mother  (hat  imislouj,  which  is 
devil  on  one  Bide,  is  yet  .ntipel  on  another  : —

"  B«fr»in  to-nijibt. 
And  tliat  shall  l<!nd  a  kind  of  eiudueai 
To  ths  next  abMiacncc;  the  next  more  tuj." 

And  then  he  goes  on  to  tell  her  what  the  result  of 
this  practice  will  be. 

For  "  use  "^liere,  of  course,  the  "  use  "  of  fire 
lines  wbtjve,  "  the  uie  of  actions  Our  and  good,* 
which  alone  Hnnilot  is  urf^in^  on  his  mothrr— this 
"uj«  can  almoflt  change  the  stamp  of  nature."  that- 
is  here  bis  mother's  Hensuol  nature,  "and  either 
tame  the  devil  in  her,  or  throw  hitn  out  of  her  with 
wondrous  potency.*'  Surely  the  devil  of  luit  mut 
already  throned  in  Gertrude.  She  didn't  want 
Hauilet  to  toil  her  that  '*  use  "  had  set  the  devil  on 
that  throne — uw  didn't  make  her  commit  nduUeiv 
with  ('laudiuR — but  she  did  want  Hamlet  to  teft 
her  that,  and  how,"  use"  would  lame,  or  tun  out, 
the  devil  already,  months  since,  throned  in  her.  I 
must  repeat,  then,  notwithstanding  Da,  NinioL- 
bon's  objection,  (hat  in  lines  ISH-^  Uariilel  is  not 
dealin;^  with  the  npptwiir  furree,  devilish  and 
angelic,  of  habit,  but  urgine;  on  hi.i  mother  the 
angelic  force,  and  MKurin;;  her  that  it  wiU  cither 
subject  in,  or  fject  from,  lier  the  devilish  farce  thut<

'■  Wl»t  devil  ww't

I  maintain  that  the  olteraatiro  of  cither  taming

know  that,  fight  against  the  devil  of  habit  its  WO

"  almost"  is  the  utmost  we  con  do.

12,  S^}^I  feel  that  I  biive  been  somewhat  hasty 
in  arriving  at  the  conclusion  that  the  river  Lark 
newawrily  derives  its  name  from  laehr,  the  Teu- 
tonic word  for  salmon.  In  many  inBtiinc«»  this  in 
the  case;  Iwt  where  the  eunligu ration  of  the 
country  nnd  the  ^liigj^i-sli  conrriii^  of  the  streani»  pre- 
clude tht^  prohabiliiy  tlut  the  salmon  ever  fre- 
quented them,  it  would  be  absurd  |>edaniicully  to 
insist  OD  a  derivation  shown  to  be  iiuippropriute. 

The  prefixes  Luc,  Ijnx,  Luch,  Leclie,  Lich.  ar* 
very  cummon  in  EntilLnh  nnmea  of  places.  Tl»er» 
are  fnnr  sourcea  from  which  they  may  be  derived, 
and  no  doubt  instances  of  each  derivation  may  be 
found. 

1.  The  Cymric  Iwch,  cmiiviileiit  to  A.-S.  Int^ 
Lat.  laf'Ut,  which  nrij:iTially  sij.'nified  a  shallow 
(itagnnnt  plpco  of  water  or  a  mnr^h,  in  contra- 
distinction from  tlyn,  a  pool  in  a  runntn;:!  stream. 

2.  Laehj,  A.-S.  Itax,  B&lmon,  oa  before  men* 
tioaed. 

2.  A.-S.  lich,  Cer.  letch,  a  cnrpae. 

4.  Danish  or  Old  Norsi;  lakr,  ii  small  stream. 

The  noraencLitiiro  of  the  nrttiiml  featureis  nf  the 
country  in  En^hird,  especially  the  rivers  and 
mouDtains,  is  for  the  uioat  piirt  Cymric.  Thero 
are  a  few  exceptiona,  such  as  the  Mersey,  tho 
Blnckburn,  Ac.  Prinut  /acif,  then,  wo  fhoidd 
look  to  Cymric  for  tho  derivHtioii  of  the  Lark. 
There  can  he  little  doubt  that  Iinrk  is  a  corruption 
of  iaeh  or  lac.  In  this  we  are  confirmed  by  refer- 
ence to  Uometduy  Book,  the  otdej^t  and  most 
authentic  record  of  eiirly  pluco  names.  In  this 
document  hi  in  various  combinations  occurs  very 
fremiently.  Lac/oTtl  is,  of  coiiree,  the  ford — now  a 
briugG— over  the  river  Lae.  Licfcird  gives  its  name 
to  the  hundred.  «nd  is  nienltoiicd  no  Ifsn  than 
twelve  times  in  liomesday,  besides  Lakingrihcda, 
or  Lakingahtthe  (now  LaKenheath),  in  tlie  wtue 
hundred.  There  arc  a].'<o  nientioneil  in  other 
count  ies  Laftrrd,  LanUne,  Lrtfubume,  Ltehatliorpe, 
L/tehiiifffil,  Lfci/tyrd,  Ac. 

It  is  by  DO  mcftnii  npce^sary  that  we  sboald 
derive  nil  these  frnm  the  same  source.  We  most 
be  guided  by  analogy  and  probabilitv. 

In  some  cases,  such  as  Lidifitla,  LachinftJd, 
and  probably  LeeJcford,  where  great  battle*  hav© 
I'cen  fought,  it  is  a  fair  inference  ibat  the 
deud  bodies  of  the  slain  ^vo  itn  name  tn  the  field 
of  battle.  Mr.  Isaac  Taylor,  in  his  tVortU  and 
PLiffjt,  derives  jMtkford  from  the  record  of  a  great 
battle  fonght  there  in  117.'}  between  K'ibert,  Earl 
of  Leicester,  and  the  Ling's  forces  under  Uumphrey

I  do  not  know  whether  I  belong  to  one  of  "  the 
cliisaea  which  supply  '  niamuiaa  '  and  little  girls  to 
litcFviturej"  but  1  do  know  thiit  *'She,  the  cat's 
lunlber"  was  often  used  in  our  family  to  the  wny 
indicated  by  Cl'^thbgkt  Bkoi:,  und  I  never  heard

liefs it  did  good  service  in  breaking;  children  of 
the  habit  af  referring  to  a  [ktuoq  as  "abe,"  with- 
out ever  mentioning  her  n^iiue.  Under  "  Cat'a

hia  hearer  usually  siiyp,  by  way  of  reproof,  '  She's

In  Kent,  and  by  Kcotish  folk,  the  same  thought 
ia  expresaed  by  "She  ig  |he  cut'&  (jrai*(/iii other," 
and  in  Hnifonnly  used  to  inculcjite  in  children  a

»  child  to  be  talkinii^  of  a  [lady,  tit  first  mentioning 
her  by  name,  but  proceeding  to  a  long  relation  in 
"ivhieh  "fihe"  occurs  incwsssintly,  the  uiolher  will 
bring  to  the  child's  mind  a  seni^ii  of  undue  levity, 
and  :i  want  of  deference  perceived  in  this  stylo  of

ROBERT  BOLTON,  l.'!72-ltJSl. 
There  are  -a  lire  and  a  vigour  about  tho  'writings 
of  Kobert  Bolton  which  ruise  him  infinitely  above 
the  ruck  of  conteraporary  divines.  A  man  of 
;jreat  parta  and  hijih  culture,  he  illumines  the 
gloomy  Puritan  firmament  like  Bomo  emktic 
comet.  Greatly  distinj^uishcd  at  Oxford,  he  was 
one  of  the  men  selected  by  Abbot  to  dispute  before 
*runie^  I.,  and,  amongst  other  literary  featu  inen- 
tioncil  by  his  admiring  biographers,  it  is  recorded 
that  he  copied  *'  all  Homer"  with  his  own  hand  and 
read  throu^^h  Thom:i3  Aquimia  "once  or  twice." 
Until  middle  age  Bolton  lived  the  life  of  the 
vorld.  "  Hee  loved  Htage-playes,  curds  and  dice, 
be  was  u  horrible  swearer  and  yabbath-Ereuker 
uitd  l>oone  companion,"  says  his  candid  frieii<l, 
Edward  Bag^sbiiw.  About  the  year  1607  he 
entered  holy  orders  and  retired  from  his  old 
haunts.  It  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  in  the  old 
days  he  had  tried  his  hand  at  tliese  same  "st:kge- 
pliiyea,"  but  we  know  him  now  only  from  the 
eli>>|uent  works  which  he  sent  forth  from  his  quiet 
Nurtbamptoniihire  pirsonage.  These  writings  bear 
many  traces  of  the  old  Adam,  and  must,  one  would 
think,  b:ive  tKidly  scandalized  the  audience  to  whom 
hey  were  addressed.  He  quotes  Homer  and 
Virgjrjl,  and  Catullus  and  Montaigne.  In  one  place 
he  quotes  Alurlow's  Dodor  FautttUf  and  this  pas- 
Wige  lA  worth  gWlng,  from  the  manner  of  it : — 


"  A«  lliG  {loct  lirincs  in  the  Ma;;itian  wlicn  the  cnre- 
nauteJ  time  uf  the  giviut;  of  liU  iiuuld  to  iiatau  was  ex-

ELIA3  HABESCI. 

Close  upon  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  I  de- 
nounced this  "false  prophet"  in  "N.  &  Q.," 
groundinR  my  proof  upon  his  book  The  Parti- 
tion of  the  JJominione  of  the  Popt,  preceded  by 
that  of  the  Ottoman  Empire,  &c.,  Calcutta,  17!)0, 
where  he  boldly  predicts  thiit  both  powers  will 
succumb  "in  less  than  two  lustres"  from  that 
date.  The  first  certainly  has  lost  its  temporali- 
ties within  the  last  few  years,  the  King  Pope 
dyinj^  rather  hard,  his  dominions  involving  no 
contentions,  falling  into  the  hands  of  bin  right- 
ful lieir — Italia;  but  the  "sick  man"  survived 
the  attempt  to  partition  him  in  1854,  and  has 
again  emerged  bravely  from  a  second  and  more 
direct  attack  by  the  same  foe,  and,  although  some- 
what shorn  of  his  territory,  is  now,  perhaps,  in  a 
better  {wsition  to  revive  than  before  having  taken 
Habeaci'a  advice  tendered  to  Eussia— "sur  la 
nt'censiti;  absolue  de  la  Cour  de  Eussio  d'Otre 
toujours  la  bonne  et  sincere  amie  de  rAngleterrc, 
si  elle  veut  conservcr  sa  graudeur."  Turkey, 
therefore,  backed  by  her  old  friend  and  new  ally,  is 
now  likely  to  recover  her  ch;irjcter,  and  take  her 
stand  as  a  Kuropean  power. 

Reverting  to  our  prophet,  it  may  be  worth 
while  ntiting  how  he  would  apportion  the  ppnil 
when  Turkey  came  to  be  cut  up  and  divided. 
Eussia,  lie?  fsriys,  after  taking  as  much  as  would  be 
ncci'Ksiiry  to  render  her  stronjier  and  richer, 
would  not  iict  Mi«ely  in  wishing  to  reign  at  ( "on-

Greek,  of  course),  also  p.trt  of  Katolie,  Smyrna, 
Angora,  the  Dnrdanellea,  &c.,  continuing  hia  limits 
jiearly  in  the  some  parallel  by  Calcedonie,  Scutari, 


into  tbe  Block  Sea,  ending  at  TnbiiDDd.  ¥or- 
tresses  to  be  erected  on  the  coast  of  Europe  and 
Asia  to  render  it  the  bulwark  of  Ghriiteiidom. 
The  new  kingdom  will  be  bounded  on  the  north 
and  vest  by  tbe  new  domiuioni  of  Anstriit 
Euasio,  and  the  King  of  Georgia,  who  will  be 
master  of  all  the  Georgian  coast  of  the  Black  Sea, 
beginning  by  the  Sea  of  Asoph,  and  endiiu  at 
I^bizono.  These,  united  with  the  King  of  Gob- 
stantinople,  will  make  the  Musnilman,  retired  into 
Asia,  tremble  at  tbe  name.  Habesci  conaideratdy 
says : — 

"  I  do  not  propose  to  txterminaU  them  (the  Tntta), 
they  must  bare  some  residenoe.    We  mmi,  therefbic, 
look  out  for  a  place  where  the  sovereign  may  reside  in 
tranquillity  and  submiuion,  waiting  for  the  tiiii  of  tbe 
Christians  to  become  once  more  insapportable,  whieh  but 
be  tbe  cause  of  another  rerolation,  and  therefor^  ■■  Ood 
has  pitched  upon  the  Mu<«sntme»  as  the  instRBSots  of 
his  vrath  [see  "  N.  &:  Q.."  Dec.  IS,  ISM],  ti^amria 
their  turn  drive  out  the  Christians,  and  re  eshblisfc  tostr 
empire,  if  not  with  more  eetat  and  splemlwr,  at  least 
with  more  tftoiUration,  and  pnuUnee." 

This  is  more  reasonable  than  the  "big  ud 
baggage"  expulsion  recommended  by  Kine other 
Christians. 

On  the  south  the  new  kingdom  will  hare 
the  Archipelago,  of  which  the  greater  part  will, 
in  justice,  belong  to  tbe  Venetians.  It  will  b» 
further  necessary,  be  goes  on  to  say,  that  the  othet 
powers  should  have  a  sop  ;  and  here  we  get  warn* 
and  had  Habesci  been  a  true  prophet  he  mifi^ 
have  scored  a  point  in  bis  own  favour  with  ua  ;  hot 
he  unhappily  missed  it,  for  he  gives  Cyfmil  to 
FniDCC  and  puts  off  England  with  the  amaUer 
Candil^  remarking  that  tbe  former  wUI  lOOB 
populite  it  and  obtain  ample  returns,  and,  by  w^ 
of  consolation  to  England,  that  her  slice  of  TuAef 
is  alone  mifticient  to  maintain  a  powerful  king; 
and  she  will  be  able  to  form  establishments,  and 
even  make  conqueiita  in  Egypt,  and  by  the  Nile 
carr}'  on  an  unlimited  trade  to  India  by  the  way 
of  Suez,  which  must  be  open  to  all. 

D'Ifnieli  has  given  us  a  few  chnptets  upon 
"  Events  which  have  not  happened."  The  wn- 
going  is  one  such,  and  may  at  the  momort  haTe 
some  interest  as  the  scheme  of  a  clever  Greek 
to  solve  the  Eiistern  Question,  now,  it  is  to  be 
hoped,  at  rest  for  the  present  century.  But  I 
h:ive  rather  to  do  with  Elias  Habesci  alios  Alex, 
(ligha's  publit^tions  than  criticizing  his  politics 
and  prophecies.  Besides  those  before  noted  by

passage  of  Shukespere,  yH  without  aeeing  appa- 
rently its  cxpLination  of  ddight«l.  The  (juoUitioQ 
is  "  At  the  onJe  of  the  fostjrvidl  dmwcn  out  of 
Legenda  Auroo,"  4lo.,  L&08,  and  pnat«d  by  Caxton, 
U83.  The  writer  is  describing  Lbe  two  bellsf 
hot  hell  and  cold  bell,  .and  sayn, — 
"  Tbe  frrttfl  ia  fyre  that  «T«r  breonetb,  and  never  srretb

"  Th«  prop«rti«i  of  tb«  fire  lupemall,  above,  are  bait

These  show  by  tbcir  number  and  dalM  tbat  it 
wm  no  unconinian  idea  of  the  period,  and  I  hare 
met  witb  at  Inist  two  or  three  more  similar  paa- 
sugea,  tbouijb,  unfortunately,  I  bare  no  references 
to  them.  It  may  have  arisen  from  the  passage  I 
have  referred  to  in  Job,  or,  more  probfiiijy,  from 
an  .^Ct«mpt  to  ret:ancile  those  passages  of  Holy 
Scripture  which  apenk,  some  of  cverlaatbg  dark- 
ness, and  others  of  bell  dre.  As  to  the/orvi  of 
Sbakespere's  word,  it  is  merely  an  example  of 
those  new-coined  words  nod  fanciful  cbaogee  of 
etymology  in  which  he  somewhat  oreraiitch  in- 
dulged. I  Inist  shortly  to  explain  Antony's '*  arm- 
gatint  Hteed,"  though  the  expUmttinn  may  not  be 
8o  free  from  objection  -is  ihia.  Laatly,  might  I 
suggest  that  it  would  not  be  tampering  with  the 
text  if  ediloni  would  hcreiifter  print  (te-li'jhted

P.S. — As  other  examples,  I  could  oaota  two 
from  Shakesperc  himseii—Ttetl/th  NigM,  Activ.

"Hamuet,"  Obblos  4  (0*  S.  ix.  103.)— I  do 
not  agree  with  Mr.  Sl'BXeH  in  thinking  that 
fi(ns£,  in  the  first  line,  moans  soose  of  nbnme,  or

romma  after  iff,  the  apostrophe  in  hnhii'g,  and 
the  readinj;  of  tUvil  or  eril;  but  the  upottrophe 
may  be  disniis-e<l,  as  makinf,'  nonsptice  of  any 
reading.  Taking;  the  pas-sage  as  printed  in  the 
Globe  edition,  tliu  meaning  seenii  to  he  that  this 
moQRtcr,  Ciistom,  whofe  attrihnte  is  descrilied  as 
above,  devil  as  he  is  of  habits  f).f.  in  resipect  of 
his  own  habils,  and  not,  as  C'rddpcott  puis  it,  as 
evil  pcnius  of  our.<),  is  antjel  yet  in  thi^,  tiiat  he 
causes  the  same  unconscious  haliitniit  perfornianfe 
of  actions  fair  and  good  as  of  lha«ie  which  are  evil, 
expressed  by  the  metaphor  of  giving  them  an  easy- 
fitting  frock  or  livery. 

It  may  be  objected  to  this  that,  as  the  whole 
argument  turns  on  the  equal  iulliience  of  Custom 
on  good  and  bad  actions,  there  in  no  reason  for 
calling  him  a  devil  in  re:^i)e(;l  of  his  habil.s,  nnless 
the  author,  momcnt:irily  for^ettin;;  in  the  seccnd 
line  the  pense  in  which  he  hua  used  the  word  in 
.he  first,  lias  confounded  it  with  social  usa^e  lend- 
ing its  sanction  to  the  practice  of  vice.  We  iiii^'ht 
avoid  this  inconsistency  by  omitting  the  comma 
after  eai  and  substituting  cri/  foz  ihril ;  and  the 
meaning  would  then  be  that  cistoui  eats  the  sense 
of  evil  habits,  that  is,  the  moral  sense  of  their 
«uftlity.  We  nhould  thus  lose  the  antithesis  of 
devil  and  amjcl,  and  the  word  whidh  would  stand 
in  iintithesis  to  the  latter  would  be  moji^f-r,  while 
the  nclioiis  fair  and  good  would  be  opposed  to  the 
habits  evit. 

So  read  and  pointed,  Mr..  Spesce  is  justified  in 
giving  all  xense  of  fhamc  as  the  meaning  of  all 
nente  of  habits  evil ;  but  if  the  last  three  words  are 
cut  off  by  the  comma,  the  idea  of  shame  does  not 
neem  to  me  to  have  any  warrant  iu  the  text. 
Between  the  two  readings,  to  siiy  nothing  of  others 
which  have  been  suggested,  there  is  room  for  an 
obelus  ;  and  the  only  fault  to  bo  found  with  the 
Globe  edition  in  the  limitation  of  its  nse  in  the 
preface,  as  quoted  by  Mr.  Sprspk,  5*  S.  viii.  4, 
instead  of  leaving  it  to  indicate  passages  of 
acknowledged  difficulty,  in  which  the  reader  is 
recommended  to  Ji.ocertuin  what  has  been  already 
■written  on  the  subject  before  tmuMing  hinisejf 
with  conjectural  emendations  or  attempts  to  find  a 
meaning  for  himself.     Jons  FiTrnKTT  Marsh.

"All's  Well  that  Esns  Welt.,"  Act  iv. 
sc.  2  (5""  S.  viii.  KM,  182.)  — I  have  delayed  thus 
long  to  reply  to  the  note  of  J.  D.  in  the  hope  that 
some  other  contributors  would  take  the  matter  op. 
J.  D.  cannot  possibly  be  right.  Nowhere  else  in 
Shakspeare  will  he  find  "  ropes "  in  the  sense  of 
"outcries,"  "scarre"  for  "  scarB,"  or  "foraake" 
meaning  to  "  deny,"  And  yet  he  would  have  ns 
believe  that  those  three  ara^  Xeyo/xtva  are  all 
crowded  together  within  the  compass  of  two  Uoes! 

I  am  unshaken  in  the  belief  that  I  have  solved 
tlie  enigma.    I  am  not  BorCj  however,  that  in  my 


former  note  I  assigned  to  the  solution  its  true  in- 
terpretation. "Make  promiao"  may  here  stand 
for  "give  pledge."  If  so,  we  have  an  explanation 
of  Diana's  seemingly  abrupt  demand,  *'  Give  m& 
that  ring."  The  meaning  of  the  whole  passage 
will  be,  *'  I  see  when  men  are  sincere  in  their 
wooing  it  is  their  custom  to  give  some  pledge  of 
their  sincerity ;  *  give  mc  that  ring  '  as  a  pledge  of 
vours." 

In  the  rimes  of  August  l:J,'l«77, 1  read  :— "To 
facilitate  marriage,  the  Jewish,  like  the  Koman,  law 
permits  marriage  by  consent  without  a  ceremony, 
or  marriage  by  toh-n,  ns  fjiring  a  ring  or  a  coin." 

A  distinguished  critic,  to  whom  I  submitted  my 
former  note  on  this  pas-sage,  wrote  to  me  : — "  I  do 
not   believe    that  to   '  make  promise '  was   ever 
Knglish.     They  said,  as  we  do,  to  make  promiartj 
to  mate  a  prnmise,  hut  always  to  give  promise.* 
He  is  right  as  to  what  was  customary,  ont  he  is 
wrong  in  .supposing  that  Ihc  phnise  "  nuke  pro- 
mi.sc "  is   unc:tampled.      I    find    it   in  tbe  New 
Testament  in  Hebrews  vi.  IS,  "  God  tnade  promw 
to  Abnham"  ;  and  I  find  its  equivalent, "  make 
forword,"  in  Chaucer,  Caw,  Tidts,  1.  33.

M?e[ii.H  to  biive  sprung,  Scutt  is  11  ver^-  ancient  and 
well-known  naiue,  being  one  of  the  oIdv»t  in  tlio 
parish  rpgistem.  In  1727  a  member  of  this  family 
was  interred  in  the  north  nisle  of  the  churcJi,  and 
the  frtnitly  hare  generally  occupied  respectable 
poaitionit  ua  yeomen,  &c.  In  the  year  18&S,  on  the 
removiU  of  the  old  roof  of  th«  church,  there  were 
found  attached  the  names  of  the  churchwardens  ab 
the  time  of  itf  erection,  soiiio  3C<>  joars  prerioita. 
Ouu  of  thc«e  WAS  evidently  an  Ancestor  of  tJie 
proitent  fiimily,  but  the  tuime  in  this  case  waa 
written  SkotL  SuBicient,  therefore,  bad  been 
stated  to  prore  the  long  residence  of  tbc  family  in 
thia  place,  for  removed  from  Brighton,  and  more- 
over ttuU  the  name  can  scarcely  bo  dcrired  from  a 
LoDCiwhire  pruviaciidtsm.  But  what  its  origia 
was  I  am  anxious  to  discover.  Further,  Burke,  in 
hia  ErtmtcUtpirdui  of  fftraldry  and  Central  Ar- 
monj,  given  the  following  blazon  as  borne  by 
Scntte  of  Dorset«hire  ;  "(>r,  three  hinds  passant

tell  me  tbe  derivation  of  the  name  J  I  know  the 
word  is  pftan  used  in  these  parts  to  indicate  a 
place  where  there  is  a  suit  spring,  but  I  do  not

CoMMow  Cacoloot  fS-^  8.  iii.  IG4  ;  3**  S.  x, 
447.)— A  return  lo  old  fiubjcct*  has  received  the 
tacit  approval  of  the  editor  (4*^  S.  xl  141)  ;  I 
may  therefore  note  that  under  thin  head  maay 
years  ago  I  drew  attention  to  current  errors  of 
Inn^iage,  and  the  subject  was  aflcrw.irds  briefly 
tAken  up  by  another  correspondent— st-e  references 
as  above.     Let  me  ictum  to  the  mailer. 

1.  To  rol>  a  purae  is  henrd,  c«i>ecially  among 
Irishmen,  who  wish  to  say  "  to  rob  a  man  of  his 
purse,"  the  man  being  robbed,  and  the  purse  stolen 
or  tnkrn  by  violence. 

2.  To  appreciate  ia  used  aa  to  value  highly,  in- 
Htend  of  lo  value  at  the  projier  worth. 

3.  A  veaael  is  said  to  ho  tiifnati^fd  from  a  tlsp- 
stali",  when  sirfnalttd  ia  meant.  Tliis  in  coloniju 
papers  U  of  nliiio'it  univerwl  oceiirrencie. 

4.  Either  of  many,  Jii  pbu-e  of  any.  or.iny  one,  is 
common  and  wronj?,  as  im(A«-  refers  to  only  one  of 
two  and  no  more.  The  following  I  lincl  in  the 
Tima ;  the  Berlin  correspondent  refers  to  Ibrco 
ibeorics  on  the  subject  of  Congress,  first,  secondly, 
iiad  thirdly.  "It  roust  bo  confessed,"  he  Miya, 
"  that  iieitjier  of  theee  theories  is  satisraotoTy." 
Possibly  ;  but  any  one  of  tho  three  may  he  more 
sntisfiictory  than  the  writer's  gmniioar. 

5.  A  Borough  c-indidate  for  parliamentaiy 
honours  in  a  recent  address  used  the  dreadful  "and 
which,"  when  there  was  no  nntecedent  relative 
pronoun  to  ju.stify  (he  umc  of  tho  conjunction; 
and  to  take  up  iho  IVwrt  aKain,  in  a  sportiof; 
notii-e  I  read  how  Vernenil  loot  the  "  lead  of  St. 
Chriatophe,  IliIftriQii!r,  and  tjiueen  of  Cyprus,  in

they  mn  to  the  top  turn,  tt-Atre  [why  not  "and

on  the  coDstruution,  ami  doee  not  require  either

Hi.  The  lato  Lord  PnliuerstoQ  is  said  to  have

htid  or  that  that  apjieared.  This  Biay  be  inelegnni, 
but  ia  scarcely  incorrect,  yet 

14.  Mi^fat  it  not  ho  well  to  do  the  same  when 
llie  cusloui  ocmits  (borrowed  from  the  U.S.A.)  of 
itain^  unuecessitrily  a  BubatantiTO  as  a  verb,  even 
although  it  may  be  sanctioniKi  by  our  version  of 
1  Corinthians  v.  9  ?  By  the  way,  some  of  the 
American  innovations  .will  pass  tuUHter,  thouf^h 
MniDdio^  oddly  at  first.  "Look  at  here"  is  a 
phrase  perpetually  on  the  lonftii^  of  a  Maesachnaetta 
friend  of  mine,  and  ho  is  riftht.  We  aay  ^  look 
hero";  hut  how  ciin  yoii.  the  pcraoo  addrened, 
beinji  thtTf.,  look  her«  ?  You,  bping  there,  can  look 
in  this  direction,  i.«.  hither,  to,  tuwards,  or  at  her*. 
Then  irftr  the  signaturo  is  manifestly  trt:er  than

oaea  ft  form  eoiiinion  in  the  States,  "Feel  o'  my

shows  the  danger  of  vcuturing  on  an  unknown 
lanifuaae  :  "  Tbe  testimony  of  too  men  who  were 
parlicept  crimiuii  in  ciminiitting  the  frauds." 

I'J.  A  letter  in  a  recent  Times,  from  a  gentle 
man  apparently  of  education,  has  this  sentence  : 
"The  luuiiHginj;  caiumittce  of  the  brid>;e  do  not 
appear  to  liuve  been  sntixlied  [he  means  "appear 
to  have  be«n  disaatislied"]  with  the  deaipi,  and 
Mr.  K.,  in  conjnnclion  with  Mr.  J.,  were  requested 
to  report  on  it," 

17.  The  Puit  Mail  Gasdle  of  May  30  last  is 
justly  hutnoroua  on  a  blunder  of  the  Timtt  which

"GuLLivKR'a  Travels"  (6»>»  S.  x.  25.)— The 
Apparent  discrcpanco  will,  I  tbiok,  disappear  if  it 
be  i«membere'l  that  hei&lit  arKi  siy«  are  not  tbe 
same  thing.  Swift  says  tnal  a  Brubdiu^nn^inn  waa 
twelve  times  us  high  as  a  man,  and  that  the  Brob- 
dingnogiaa  hailsUmes  were  nearly  eighteen  hundred 
times  as  large  aa  those  ve  are  accustomed  to  see. 
If  a  Brodiognagioa  Ka»  twelve  times  as  bigb  03 
a  man,  do  doubt  he  was  aJao  twelve  times  as  broad, 
and  twelve  times  as  thick  or  deep.  Ueoce  he  must 
have  been  more  than  seventeen  hundred  times  as 
large  as  a  nun.  In  the  samo  way,  if  one  of  our 
haiiKtoacE  waa  half  an  inch  in  diameter,  and  one 
in  Brobdingnag  was  six  inches  in  diameter,  tho 
latter  would  cert:unly  contain  nearly  eighteen 
hundred  times  as  amuh  ice  as  the  former.

a  European  one  ;  and  the  latter  number  might 
be  roughly  deacribed  as  "  near  eighteen  hundred." 
That  Swifi  is  dotiling  with  cubical  contents  is,  I 
think,  clear  from  the  phrase  "  eqaal  in  bulk  to " 
applied  to  the  mastiff.  And  if  so^aBrohdingnagian 
cat  being  about  twelve  feet  long,  a  Brobdingnngiun 
wasp  about  six  or  seven  inches  long,  and  so  forth, 
the  ratios  between  their  cubical  contents  and  those 
of  the  ox  and  the  partridge,  &c.,  given  by  the 
dean,  do  not  appear  to  be  very  much  overstrited.

The  subject  of  Swift's  mathematics  w:ib  dis- 
cussed iu  an  interesting  paper  by  Prof.  Dk 
M(jkga:j  in  your  2"'*  S.  vi.  123,  to  which  Mn. 
EocciiiKR  would  do  well  to  refer.  I  have  not 
verified  his  quotations,  but  as  the  Brobdingnagian 
scale  is  to  the  European  as  12  to  1  (the  Lilliputian 
being  1  to  12),  the  comparison  of  a  Brobding- 
nagian  from  6"  t^)  7i)  feet  high  is  with  a  European 
of  f)  feet  to  5  feet  1(J  inches.  The  size  of  the  hail- 
stones which  form  IVIr.  Bouciiier's  difficulty  is 
quite  consi-stent  with  this,  for  if  the  diameters  of 
two  spheres  arc  in  the  proportion  of  1  and  12, 
their  hulk  will  be  iw  1  to  the  cube  of  12  =  1,728, 
which  Swift  correctly  enough  describes,  in  round 
numbers,  us  "near  eighteen  hundred  times  as 
large."  J.  F.  Marsh. 

Mr.  BoucniER  surely  forgets  that  '*  solids  vary 
as  the  cubes  of  their  like  measures,"  and  that 
bodies  which  are  twelve  times  the  diameter  of 
others  arc  1,72S  times  their  bulk.  There  is, 
therefore,  nothing  "  extraordinary"  or  "  out  of  all 
I)roportion"  in  Swift's  statement  that,  "  nature  in 
that  country  [Brobdingnag]  observing  the  same 
proportion  through  all  her  operations,  a  hailstone 
is  near  eighteen  hundred  times  as  large  as  one  in 
iF'urope,"  seeing  that  the  inhabitants  were  twelve 
times  the  height  of  Europeans.  Your  correspondent 
has,  in  fact,  discovered  an  animal  structure  quite 
as  extraordinary  as  anything  in  the  land  described 
by  Gulliver,  Your  First  Series  contains  a  pendant 
over  the  signature  of  a  professed  mathematician, 
the  late  Pro?-.  De  Moroan,  who  made  a  similar 
discovery  in  the  park  wall  mentioned  in  Boswell's 
Johnson  ("  N.  &  Q.,"  1"  S.  x.  3R3).

Hailstones  vary  in  size.  Suppose  we  take  as  a 
unit  a  hailstone  equal  to  five  drops  of  water,  we 
shall  find  that  eighteen  hundred  of  them  weigh 
about  a  pound,  and  are  equal  in  bulk  to  less  than 
an  imperial  pint  of  water— a  bulk  which  we  may 
liken  to  that  of  two  human  fists.  Then  to  com- 
pare it  with  the  human  figure.  If  we  join  all  our 
ten  fingers  we  get  a  result  as  regards  thickness 
equal  to  an  average  Brobdingnag  finger,  and  there 
■eoms  to  be  little  disproportion  between  the  figure 


and  the  hailstone.  Swift  may  be  pardoned  if  be 
did  not  know  that,  on  account  of  the  grwter  dis- 
tance from  the  earth,  the  Brobdingnagian,  if  simplj 
A  magnified  man,  could  hardly  hold  up  his  head. 
His  cat  would  with  the  size  acquire  the  anwieldi- 
oesft  of  the  elephant.  Gwavab. 

Penzance. 

Was  Swift  so  very  wrong  as  Mr.  Bouchikr  lup* 
poses?  Since  the  Brobdingnogians  were  "from  ten 
to  twelve  times  the  lieigkt  of  an  ordinary  man," 
they  were,  if  proportionately  stout,  from  1,000  to 
1,728  times  as  large  as  an  ordinary  man,  since  simi- 
lar solids  varj'  in  volume  as  the  cubes  of  their  lite 
dimensions.  In  other  words,  a  man,  like  a  hail- 
stone, in  Brobdingnag  was  "near  eighteen  han- 
drod  times  as  large  as  one  in  Europe." 

Wm.  Penoxut. 

Swift's  proportions  arc  correct.    Mr.  BorcHifs 
will  remember  that  the  Emperor  of  Lillipot  htd  to 
supply  Gulliver  with  food  sufficient  for  l,"M  <rf 
his  subjects  (should  have  been  1,728):  "HtnoK 
taken  the  height  of  my  body  by  the  help  ot  a 
quadrant,  and  finding  it  to  exceed  theirs  in  the 
proportion  of  twelve  to  one,  they  concluded,"  &c 
Brobdingnagian  hailstones  are  to  our  hulstones  as 
the  cubes  of  their  diameters,  12"— 1,728.

— E.  S.  N.  has  followed  the  mistaken  lead  of 
Mr.  J.  P.  Collier  unent  the  so-called  Shakespere 
pieces.  Following  the  lend  of  my  friend  Dr. 
CJrosart,  in  his  Pioxburghe  Club  edition  of  Barne- 
tielde,  I  msiy  by-and-hy  give  another  view  of  the 
matter.  Meanwhile  I  would  ask  E.  S.  N.  to 
kindly  inform  me  to  what  "epitaph  of  Jonson's" 
ho  refers,  as  ucquainted  though  I  was  (unfor- 
tunately my  memory  \s  now  such  that  I  must  say 
"was")  with  both  Jonson  and  Barnefielde,  I  do 
not  remember  what  he  refers  to.  The  first  line 
and  the  reference  would  suffice.

"  JisQo"  (5"'  S.  X.  7.)— In  the  English  system 
of  swearing  there  are  many  instances  of  a  sort  of 
recall  at  the  eleventh  hour  to  spare  a  blasphemy 
against  the  sacred  name  of  Jesus,  son  of  God. 
"Jingo"  I  take  to  be  one  of  these  compromises. 
It  should  be  classed  with  "  Gadzooks,"  and  is  a 
reflex  of  SocRites'  habit  of  using  expletives  which 
resembled  the  Greek  oaths  in  sound,  and  swearing 
by  the  goose,  by  the  oak,  and  by  the  dog.

And  tlii'n  again :  '  It  vun  ovrr  this  very  part  of  the  lake

TnK  Names  ok  toe  Mistletoe  (5*  S.  ix.  366.> 
— Nemnich  {Techn.  Lt.c.)  gives  fjUhm  and  verqud, 
as  well  as  If.  ijui  and  gmi,  as  the  French  oames  for 
the  mistletoe.  Beschcrelle  says  gui  is  a  Celtic 
word  signifying  "  curing  all."  But  gut  is  imth«r, 
like  It.  -cigchio.  Port,  vixffo  (Basq.  bitaiX  from 
vifcuSf  vifcvm,  from  j8io-kos,  ..Eolic  for  i^s  ;  and 
gillcn  may  possibly  be  for  an  obsolete  ffuion^  a 
diminutive  of  5f"t  or  gvy.  It  struck  me  at  fint 
that  verqiiel  might  be  a  corruption  otverguet;  and 
CD  referring  to  Littrt^  I  found  '^rtrguet,  le  goi 
(Ain).  dim.  of  verrjui  or  vergr.  (vergue  beiDg  the 
Picard  spelling)," rendered  "petite gaule"  (pertiea). 
But  this  is  not  a  satisfactory  etymology  of  verqu€t. 
In  some  French  dictionaries  vtrquette  is  rendered 
"  draine  "  and  "  nom  vulgaire  de  la  dntine."  Id 
one  dictionarj-  dr«tne  is  translated  "missel  thradi,'* 
and  <fr(iTnf((e  "  a  small  drag  or  net  for  fry";  uul 
the  draine,  misnel-lhruth,  or  mififel-bird  is  Turdma 
vucivorus.  Nemnich  says  la  draine  is  called  ill 
Biigey  verqiute,  and  in  other  places  in  Fnuwe 
gilloniere.  Boiste  renders  draive,  '^  grande  griTB 
du  Gui  ou  Drenne  ";  and  he  writes  drainetf€  alio 
drivoneite  and  drouilUlte.  Again,  one  of  the 
meanings  of  viscus  is  a  net,  and  verrieulum  is  a 
kind  of  fishing  net,  a  drag  net,  from  which  mjdifc 
come  a  word  ferric"*,  vercve,  and  vtrgnt.  But 
may  not  Nemnich's  verqyteie  for  the  bird  hare  ben 
wrongly  applied  to  k  gui  f  and,  if  bo,  miKht  not 
the  former  translate  "worm-seeker"!  The  lait 
named  writer  says  of  it:— "Niihrt  sich  TW 
Mistelbeeren  (viscum),  Kirschen,  WeinbeeM^ 
&c.,  auch  von  Insectcn  und  WiirrMm."

KtyoSTON  and  Mr.  Walporii  need  budly  Msidi 
for  such  recondite  reasons  for  tlie  cause  of  the  )b- 
temiitteot  action  of  the  phenomena  referred  to, 
where,  as  stated  by  Bnckle,  the  areiuge  it  of 
regular  recunence.  A  fiuniliar  illustnuion  of  my 
meaning  may  be  observed  in  the  tossing  of  a  caio. 
If  this  is  done  one  thousand  limee,  the  re-rult  (if 
the  coin  is  dynamically  true)  will  exhibit  nearly 
tive  hundred  "heads"  and  the  aaiue  number  ^ 
"  taiU  " ;  but  so  far  from  these  occurring  alieroalely, 
a  run  of  any  greut  number  whatever  caii  be  cna- 
fidently  predicted  where  the  numliiTof  trials  to  be 
made  is  sufficient.  The  details  of  tbo  tuViject, 
well  known  to  students  of  the  doctrine  of  nro- 
babilitics  as  the  Peteraburg  problem,  wooU  be

The  verification  of  this  has  been  miule  by  l!aft%|

"  Tmk  Katcatchbb." — I  hove  a  painting  in  oil 
whieb  1  believe  to  bo  a  pour  copy  of  a  ^ood  picture. 
Ic  was  brought  froiu  an  old  hoiise  in  Ititckinghafti-

dated  1732  it  is  entered  as  "The  Katcatcher.'* 
Tho  subject  is  a  man  with  one  wooden  leg,  wear- 
ing n  blue  coat  and  red  bree<:he=<,  ciubn^idered  and 
ragged,  a  rufl',  and  a  higb-ergwned  lint  ;  a  sword

canvas  is  thirty-three  inches  by  twenty-seven. 

Turning  over  the  leavca  of  »  scrap-Wk  in  1B40, 
I  found  an  etching  of  my  picture,  about  six  inches 
by  three,  under  which  were  four  lines  in  Sjuniah  : 
I  thiok  to  the  ell'ecl  that  this  gentleman  hud  served 
his  king  in  the  wars,  but,  not  getting  hb  i>ay,  had 
been  oblifted  to  tarn  ratcatcher.  I  w-is  interrupted 
by  dinner  being  announced.  In  the  course  of  the 
evening  I  mentioned  the  etching  to  my  ho«t,  who 
was  distingutxhiid  for  his  knowledge  of  Spanish 
art  and  litenvtiire.  He  said,  "Tliere  is  not  time 
novf,  but  I  'II  tell  you  nil  I  know  about  it  the  next 
time  you  nrv  here."  He  died  suddenly  ahont  a

A  Brikp  Absp,kce.— There  is  n  verj-  quaint 
|p<:enii  of  a  nun  who  prays  to  the  Virgin  for  relief 
from  the  monotony  of  her  duties.  The  A'irgin 
appears,  and  tells  the  poor  nun  to  go  out  and 
amii.<K  herself,  promising  to  aiuiume  her  appearance 
and  replnce  her  in  the  convent  while  she  reoiaina 
nwiiy.  The  nun  takes  lonj;,  very  long  leave.  She 
goes  into  eocivty,  fallu  iu  lore,  uiarries  u  Geramo 
knight,  and  has  a  family  of  children  ;  until  nt  lust 
she  feela  the  hittemess  of  existence,  returns  to  the 
cohtcdI,  and  in  her  cell  finds  the  Virgin,  whn 
merely  ^aj-s  to  her,  "  What  a  time  you  biive  been, 
uiy  child  !  I  thought  you  would  have  bceu  back

ooonexion  with  the  ticket  of  ndmitwion  to  Iho 
sacmment.  Some  people  give  two  or  three  tokens 
at  2(/.  or  3rf.  pa^h,  h^firing  out  this  view  of  the 
icfttter.  John  Fletcher,  l.'>flR,  1590,  IfiOO,  1605, 
16<)6,  bad  tokens,  at  firat  two,  afterwards  tbiee. 
Hcnalow,  AUen,  and  Cooko  have  six  betirMtt 
them. 

It  would  he  UBeful  to  know  whether  (he  people 
named  rt'olly  went  to  the  Mcrament,  or  whether 
the  contribntion  alone  made  .imends.  Thera  tokem 
must  have  had  fome  tan^ble  shape  ;  tbcy  are  so 
spoken  of;  but  I  have  not  bct-n  able  to  find,  out  of 
so  many  hundreds  as  there  mu<  have  h«en,  even 
one.  Of  StHithwark  tradesmen's  tokens  I  luive 
seen  many,  btit  not  one  socrumentii].  Later  on, 
still  nererthelesfi  a  boo«1  time  buck,  we  cao  trace 
the  exact  token,  nno  so  by  :ina]o;iy  can  hiire  titUfl 
doubt  what  the  tokens  of  the  token  hooks  wotbl 
Ur.  IJoyd,  our  very  est<>emed  I'rcsbyieriiiD  minister 
at  Forest  Hill,  writes  in  answer  to  my  inquiries 
lis  follows  :~"Sacmment!ii  tokens  are  slili  very 
gpnerilly  employed  in  Scotch  imrisbcs.  I  believe 
tb.it  the»«  tokensorc  of  very  anf:ient  nsc.  I  posneM 
one  of  17G7,  bnt  I  have  seen  many  very  mnoh 
more  ancient.  As  to  sir.e,  I  encloae  two  specimeiw 
[tbc^eare  n  little  over  an  inch  by  three- qunitcrsl 
lor  your  Hcceptonce,  but  the  shapes  vary."  One  of 
ihcm  is  ovnu,  with  the  words  "  Relief  CTliurch, 
Camphclton,"  and  the  date  1767  in  a  dotCei]  oval ; 
on  ttie  reverve,  "  l^ct  a  man  exnmino  hiuinclf, 
1  Cor.  xi.  SSi."  The  other  is  an  oblonp,  with 
cornem  cut  tn  circular  concavity.  On  one  side, 
"AJ  Leshe.  1907";  reverac,  "Aaso  Congrc^tion, 
Orwell."  These  tokens  appear  to  be  of  lead, 
hardened  by  mixiiiro  with  some  other  metal.  Dr. 
Boyd  3uys  thc-y  are  ^tvun  to  all  communicants,  uad 
lukcn  from  them  when  they  are  seated  at  the 
Ty>rd's  table — that  is,  oj  I  understand  him,  as  a 
"eneral  practice.

hna  enabled  me  Co  setirch  the  following  wills  and 
to  give  at  tost,  I  believe,  a  correct  account  of 
Isabel  Earvy.  "  It  never  rains  but  it  pours,"  and 
besides  her  remarriage  to  Williaiu  HatteclylT,  as 
S.  H.  A.  H.  bad  rightly  coDJectored,  she  improved 
upon  her  mother,  and  was  married  no  less  than 
four  timw<,  and  outlived  all  her  husb-inds  : — 1.  To 
John  Legh,  of  Addington,  who  died,  as  we  hnvo 
HMO,  Auril  S4,  1003.  2.  Veir  shortly  after  Johu 
Leah's  aenth  to  Kagcr  Fitz,  of  Lewish&m.  3.  To 
Vi'iUiam  BatteclyfT,  of  the  name  place.  4.  To 
(John  ?)  Flemyng  probably— at  all  events  she 
makes  her  will  aa  la&bel  Flemyng,  ^idow.  My 
authorities  are  the  following : — 

The  will  of  Hoger  FitK  (P.  C.  C,  7  HoIgiaTe). 
It  is  dated  Marcli  28,  10  Hen.  VII.,  lUU,  and 
was  proved  April  18  following.  He  desires  to  be 
buried    in    the    psrish    church    of    Lewuham ; 


bequeaths  to  his  wife  EUzahoth,  whom  lat«r  oa 
he  calls  Isabel  (a  curious  (.-oufirmstion,  by  the  way, 
of  the  Wie  of  the  two  tuuuex  indiscriminately),  hia 
hinds  iu  Lewisham  and  Beckenhuni  (the  latter 
place  .idjoins  Addington]  ;  uieDtions  his  brother 
I*ley  and  bis  brother  Harvy.  In  further  conHrtuu- 
tion  of  this  marriitge  Isabel  Flemyng  in  her  will 
mentions  "  the  wife  of  John  Fltz  my  'allauaee* 
in  DcvdnBhire." 

The  will  of  William  H.itt«clvff  (V.  C.  C,  1« 
Aylotle).  It  is  in  Latin,  is  dated  Nov.  10,  1318, 
nnd  was  proved  Mnrch  1 7  following.  He  deaoribu* 
himself  aa  of  Lew  ishrttn,  nnd  de«irc«  to  Ito  buried 
in  the  church  of  St.  Mnrj-at-Hill,  London; 
npiMints  his  wife  IsaU-l  sole  exeeiitnx  ;  luentioDt 
liiH  wife's  diiii^hter  Anne  Legh,  Henry  Legb, 
brother  of  the  tatter,  and  his  own  brothers  George, 
•John,  Thomas,  and  William  Hnttccliff. 

The  will  of  John  Flemyng  (P.  V.  C,  I  Crom- 
well), possibly  her  husband.     It  is  dated  1&3(L 
Ho  describes  him-<telf  as  of  ^'ewpott.  Isle  of  Wlf^t  ; 
mentions  hU  wife   Isahell,  son  John,  daughters 
Joane,  Alice,  Jane,  Ellyu,  and   Agnes.     (loabel 
Flemyng  luakes  a  beipiest  in  her  will  to  AJUiallows 
Cburth,  Southampton.      On  the  other  haud  ahv 
uienlions  her  son-in-law  Fmuncis  Fleming,  who  tft 
not  tfpokcu  of  in  this  will.     Her  husband  was  no- 
douht  one  of  the  Hatn[)shin>  Flemyng^,  but  it  ia 
by  no  means  certain  thi^t  he  was  this  man.) 

Her  own  will  (P.  C.  C,  11  Pynnyng)  is  dated 
Aug.  28,  35  Hen.  VIII.,  1543,  and  was  proved 
July  8,  1544.  It  U  n  long  and  very  iDtereslins 
one,  and  contains  nnmeroufi  bequests  of  plate, 
jewels,  And  wearing  apparel.  I  shall  only  cit4  so 
much  aa  will  be  sufficient  to  establish  her  identity. 
Khe  describes  herself  iw  Isabel  Flemyng,  widow  ; 
desires  her  body  to  be  huricd  in  the  ptirish  church 
of  Addington,  where  her  husband  lieth  ;  makes 
bciiuests  to  the  churches  of  lyowisliam  and 
Addington;  iiii>nlion»  h<'r  daughter  Aurc  Untte- 
cUff,  her  son  >'ichobs  Legh  and  his  wife,  their 
daughters  Matin  Legli,  Eli/nU-th  Umshpr,  and 
Millicent  Untwan,  her  son  Henry  Legh  und  hia- 
wife. 

I  must  apologixe  to  S.  H.  A.  H.  for  having  dis- 
puted his  original  interpretation  of  the  nassag*  in 
Sir  Georce  Hnrvy'a  wilt,  "  Eliwibelh  Atclyfi>ueter

Tnic  Qlorr  Kditiox  or  SiiAKsrsARK  (5*^  SL 
ix.  5nl ;  I.  33,  7u.)—0nr  difference  now  rasolva 
itself  into  this.  Mr.  Furmvall  holds  tliat  tb« 
reference  to  the  double  elTects  of  custom  and  itft 
disuse  ends  at  "put  on,"  Ham.,  iii.  4,  I.  16,'i.  My 
opinion  i»  that  after  the  pnictical  rule,  "  It^rnufi 
....  easy,"  11.  ll>5-7,  he  returns  to  the  double  um 
in  "For  use  ... .  potency,"  U,  168-70.  The  folio 
having  omitted  the  verb  in  I.  109  which  would 
decide  the  question,  Mr.  FaRNiVALL  begs  the  qaes- 
lion  when  he  says  that  "  tJtrone  and  all  words  of  il» 
class  are  out  of  the  (lueRtioQ."  The  deciding  word 
being  absent  each  opinion  is  tenable,  and  must  re- 
main an  opinion. 

It  is  to  be  remembered  that  Shakespere  is  ntf 
speaking  as  Shakespere,  but  ua  Ilnuilet.  Alii 
omitting  further  reference  to  the,  as  I  Wlieve,  Wf 
answerable  argument  that  1.  IGft  ha.t  "or,"  and  04

interpretation  is  that  it  we-ikens  the  forci<  otbei

I*  How  about  Eg;y|»LiAii  Hulptured  wigal] 


Council  of  Rome  in  743  proscrihed  it  nnder  psun 
of  excommunication  nt  the  time  of  muss,  under 
the  authority  of  St.  Piiul.  In  lime,  however,  tha 
amico,  barret,  mitre,  skull-cap,  and  hood  were  per- 
iiiiLCcd,  cxc<>pt  nt  iho  iimsc  solenm  parts  of  divine 
M-rvice.  To  tliis  d-iy  the  cap  is  fltill  carried  in 
choir  by  cathedral  clergy.  In  France  canons  were 
forbidden  to  c«lebrato  in  the  peruque.  In  Ifi^JS 
licences  to  use  it  were  i^uea  by  the  Pope  or 
bi<)bop9,  but  in  1 68^  it  wai  furbiddcn  in  tbe  diocese 
uf  Albi.  At  loD^th  thi>  peruque  wili  tolerated  if 
it  liad  tbo  mark  of  the  lonsure,  like  tbe  wigs  of  our 
judges  bear  a  coif.  Thft  wig  ptnlmbly  fiiites  in 
France  from  tbe  time  of  Lonts  XIII.,  and  the 
periwicke  or  periwig  {a  corruption  of  "  pernif|ne  ") 
was  imported  from  Francu  in  the  reign  of 
Chnrles  II.  in  lieu  of  the  love-locks  of  the 
Ctivutierff.  In  Fmnee  tbe  firit  innovating  pilesl 
was  called  "  lo  patrinrclic  don  coolt-^iastiqiiea  im- 

t)prriiqiio«.''  It«  Riipporters  in  Kugtand  wrote  & 
look  called  ./4 t>A)^m,  which  utlnbut^^I  the  young 
man's  de:ith  to  hU  want  of  tbe  wi;{,  which  ilailey 
wcFl  expl;uns  as  "a  cap  of  human  huir  worn  by 
men."  Cnvnmer  let  his  hair  grow  over  the 
toDsure,  and  wore  a  beard.  In  tbe  lime  of  Elini- 
bt;tU  the  ruff  and  beajtl  were  worn,  and  nfliT  the 
Ile.storiitlDD  the  wig  and  Hm-nll  ma<>t.ichin,  in  all 
theAe  CMtA  following  the  laity.  Chiirle^  IT.,  how- 
ever, forbade  "robtiattous  peri  wig- pitted  fellows" 
(ill  SbakMpeare  would  have  called  them  as  well 
OS  actors]  at  (Cambridge  to  wear  this  lay  appur- 
tenance, which  hi^  father  had  u»cd  in  16^3  on  his 
journey  to  Spain.  Tillotson  is  the  first  prcbito 
represented  in  a  wig.  Tbo  moustache  und  heard 
of  tbe  earlier  pitrt  of  tho  century  had  disappeared.

£ivnar  of  tins  (jeuuiiK-ncss  of  much  of

Tbtu,  1  luke  the  helm  of  Kioi;  Uenry  V.,  which 
hug*  aloft  ofer  his  gmre  in  Westminster  Abbey, 


to  be  a  f^nuine  tilting  helm  of  the  6rst  quarter  of 
the  fifteenth  century,  although  it  may  be  the 
identical  one  referred  to  ia  Rymer'a  {'adcra,  where 
tho  account  of  the  prioo  of  a  helm  for  the  king's 
funeral  i»  preserved  :  "  Item  eidem  Thonja-  (Daunt) 
pro  factum  unios  Crcst■li^  et  uniiiit  H(?lm:i-  pro  Rcgo 
xxxiitJi.  iv'f."  I  have  hiul  (he  Wei^unioKtcr  Alibey 
betrn  in  my  hnnds  and  donely  exaniined  it.  It  is 
oxceeilinfrly  nuiAHiTo  and  strong,  and  tliere  ato 
cxteOHive  renimos  of  ihe  Icither  tininn  within.  I 
do  not  think  a  mere  underUiker'e  helm  would  be 
linod,  or  finished  so  carefully  luid  elroogly  as  is 
tbiii  one.  It  may  cot  hitve  been  the  pcnfuunl  pro- 
perty of  tho  king  (and  luost  oerluinly  ho  did  not 
weiir  it  ftt  Agtncourt),  but  it  in,  1  thiuk,  a  most 
undoubted  genuine  tilting  helm  of  the  period. 
iMay  it  not  be  that  when  a  helm  woji  wanted  for 
a  funeral  achleTcmcnt,  if  (he  knight's  own  belui 
waA  not  nvnihible,  his  relntions  or  executors  went 
to  the  "heaulmicr's"  and  lnjuuhl  one— a  real  one, 
ready  for  use  in  ihu  Iklx — for  the  purpow  i 

We  need  not,  therefore,  jump  to  the  conciuftion 
that,  although  funeral  armour  may  not  have  been 
actually  worn  by  the  warrior  whose  l-omb  it  de- 
corates, it  is  mere  undertaker's  rubbiifh.  Later, 
say  from  the  latter  half  of  the  neventeeiith  ocntury, 
when  armour  wan  going  ont  of  dato,  tt  waa  so 
(thero  is  a  minihpr  of  nndertakers'  helmets,  of 
ofiuiparatively  modem  date,  stowed  away  in  the 
triforiitm  of  Westminster  Abbey),  the  uncicnt 
martial  custom  being  thus  kept-  up,  though  the 
armour  was  sham. 

As  regards  the  deeply  interct>tiug  and  unique 
reliM  of  the  fourteenth  century  which  Iwng  over 
tho  monuuient  of  the  Black  Prince  in  CanCerbuiy 
Cathedral,  I  have  :i].to  had  the  priviloge  of  per^ 
•lonidly  and  thoroughly  exaniilning  thoni,  and  have 
fnriued  a  strong  opinion  upon  them.  Thv  helm 
there  (which  rIho  nrEsorves  some  of  it.t  lining  of 
leather),  and  the  cnapemi,  cttst,  and  shield,  may 
posBibly  have  liven  mndo  or  hntight  for  the  funeral 
ut^ODt  of  the  prince,  but  I  believe  that  they  were 
his  own  tilting  oacontrements.  The  chapeau, 
crent,  and  shield  are  moRt  ostoniithing  and  io- 
Ktnictive  specimens  of  the  art  procci^eeEi  of  the 
Middle  Agef,  euir-brruiUi  and  geuo,  or  pidfre  & 
pined,  entering  Largely  into  tbeir  manufacture. 
But  with  rcgnnl  to  the  other  relics,  namely,  the 
gauntleta,  heavily  gilded,  with  gloves  of  leather 
fititched  with  silk  ;  tho  Hurroat  of  velvet,  quilted 
with  fiottoa  stitched  rertipiilly  and  cinhpoidered 
with  the  liliet  of  France  and  the  lions  of  Knglotwl 
in  thread  of  pure  gold  (tt  has  been  tested);  and 
thf;  sheath  of  the  ostoc,  or  short  slabbing  sword,  of 
red  leather  ailornod  with  gilt  studs— I  am  quite 
ixinvinr^d  th.it  the&e,  at  least,  were  the  pcrwual 
pn-^perty  of  the  prince,  luid  tued  by  him.

LKsforn  or  a  Urseratios  (5**  S.  ix.  48P,  fiia  ; 
X.  95.) — The  deflnition  of  a  "pcncmlion"  com- 
monly employed  by  Kenciiloirista  U  sufficiently 
vajjue  to  have  satisfied  the — poet,  I  think  jt  wus. 
who  complained  »o  touchingly  of  the  "  [kuu  of 
precise  ihtnkJDjj"  ;  for  it  ia  employed  in  the  Bense 
of  "  the  interval  between  tbe  birth  of  a  father  and 
that  of  his  son."     One  naturally  asks  which  son  ? 


And  OQ  tbe  answer  to  thin  qiiofttion  depends  tht 
"lennlh  of  ft  generation."  Yet  the  interval  in 
qoefltion  being  thus  extremely  variable,  wo  we 
expected  by  gencidogista  to  admit  tliat  there  are, 
on  tbc  averaee,  three  genenttions  in  a  cenlnry. 
One  would— I,  for  one— like  lo  know  on  what 
kind  nod  what  amount  of  evidence  tbe  role  of 
three  generations  to  a  centnrj-  is  founded.  Tnke 
the  case  of  my  own  family.  My  paternal  (tt^o^ 
{grandfather  was  bom  in  1714  ;  my  patcmni  grand- 
father (the  youngest  of  two  wirvivors  out  of  a 
family  of  aix)  in  17S8 :  my  father  in  1786  ;  lii* 
eldeat  son  (and  child),  myself,  in  1822  ;  my  eldest 
imd  only  surviving  child  in  16At).  Here  there  are 
four  generations,  in  the  ordinarj*  sense,  in  145  years, 
the  lengths  of  which  are  44,  38,  36,  and  37  yesn 
rcflpectfvcly,  and  the  averaRB  lengtb  3(Jt  jcsus, 
considerably  above  33j  yearn,  and  eiriug  only 
about  2i  jfeneratioDs  in  u  century.  Let  us  eon- 
aider  a  much  larger  number  of  generations,  given 
by  a  family  whose  pedigree  I  bavRmyj^elf  carefnlly 
inveetigale<l  by  the  help  of  Inquisitions  Port 
Mortem  and  other  official  (and  unoUicial}  iiourcM 
of  genealogical  information.  Between  I&IS  and 
1P((5  there  ore  eleven  generationB,  of  which, 
fore,  the  average  length  is  32,'i  years,  a  liitie 
33i  years,  and  giving  a  voiy  little  more  thaii 
gcnemtious  in  a  century.  Now  I  should  tStt  to 
know  how  many  untitled  families  can  showAjnUf- 
able  pedigreeof  even  &U<>  years.  And  in  &OMMK 
only  fifteen  average  geDerations  are  to  twfiaftr 
hanlly  enough  to  found  a  rule  upon  which  is  to  be 
used,  and  which  has  been  used,  tn  doterDiiniitf  tb( 
tnistwortliiness  of  genealogical  statenienta.  The 
truth  is  that  the  average  ttnglh  of  a  genentioii 
depends  partly  upon  the  average  age  of  niarnagc, 
imd  every  genealogist  knows  that  marriages  were 
uonlracted  in  old  times  much  earlier  than  at 
present  even  by  persons  in  a  good  position,  and 
that  they  are  contracted  cjirlier  row  nmong  the 
poor  than  among  the  well  to  do.  But  besidv«  this 
tbe  acluul  length  of  a  geQeration,  taking  the  luun* 
father,  varies  with  tbe  birth  date  of  the  eon,  which 
is  selected  to  form  its  limit.  My  father  bad  6vft 
sons,  born  resDeotively  in  18S2,  182&,  I8i7,  IQW, 
and  1&35.  Here  are  thirteen  years'  vnriatioD  U 
the  actual  length  of  a  generation,  ncconling  as  W 
reckuu  it  from  the  birth  of  the  father  tu  the  bildJL 
of  bis  eldest,  or  that  of  his  youngest,  son.  BaltP 
wo  accept  the  rule  of  three  generations  to  a  centaij|| 
we  must  believe  that,  in  the  long  ran  fa  long 
determined  by  an  examination  of  genealogies 
taining,  we  may  aofelypny,  less  than  twenty  gencw 
tiona  each),  it  does  not  matter  wbclber  we  found 
our  calculations  on  niarringcx  contracted  at  IT  tf 
70,  or  conrpute  onr  "gpremtion"  to  the  birth  *f 
the  tirst  or  the  twenty-firf.t  son,  for  we  shall  got 
the  number  of  genemtions  correspond inj:  to  any 
numberof  ccnttiries  so  nearly  three  in  each  cenluiy 
as  to  justify  us  in  laying  down  tbe  geixnl  role  »

had  sixteen  children,  nnd  died  in  IHIIIS.  Of  these 
sixteen  children  only  three  died  in  infancy,  and 
aeren  lived  to  be  more  than  seventy  years  of  Hge,but 
the  only  one  married  was  my  father,  Qeorjco  Ellia,

Tbe  most  remarkable  inatonco  of  tbe  abore  ia 
found  in  :i  recent  notice  of  tbe  remarkuble  family 
of  the  Cugims  :— "  Eliezer  Cogan  was  born  in  17GSL, 
and  did  ni)t  dio  until  l^fiO,  ko  (hif  father  being 
sixty-four  when  be  was  born)  the  two  goiierations 
extended  from  the  reii;o  of  Kiny  William  to  that 
of  (Jueen  Victoria.  The  family  al^o  presented  the 
unusual  spectacle  of  three  brothers,  one  bom  in 
1736,  a  second  in  1762,  and  a  third  in  1771)." 

GWAVAS. 

A  remarkable  instance  may  ^.i  found  tu  tho 
present  royal  family.  George  111.  was  bora  June  4, 
1738;  his  eTunddanghter,  tho  Doche.ia  of  Teok, 
was  bom  Nor.  27,  1833,  that  ia,  over  ninety- 
Sve  years  after  tbe  birth  of  her  grandfather,  and 
now  140  years  since  that  erent.  Should  she  lire 
for  her  threescore  and  ten  years,  it  will  be  165

In  llie  L»tiD  dictionftry  of  Pr.  Adaiu  Littleton  I 
jinr]  nnd«r  aipra  il  derimtion  given  from  cropping 
evpry  twig,  according  to  A'arro,  or  from  the  noiae  or

Whether  f;oitt.<t  do  nmke  these  ooiiei  with  Hmt 
Icy^  is  a  question  of  nuliiral  history  I  nbould  like 
to  weonatrered  ;  appircQtIy  there  wan  a  canoexion 
thought  to  bo  between  tho  crackings  of  the  legs  of 
gojits  and  spirit  rnppingH.     Tho  gwt,  howcTcr,  vraa 
uo  nriiiiuil  used  in  diviiiu.lion  uid  jugglery,  and 
thought,  lo  bo  the  devil  liiiuwlf  or  reproscDtiUive 
of  nn  evil  spirit.     In  rending  the  pnwago  of  Ter- 
tuUian  I  always  thought  the  goatii  were  nirioiinlj 
in  conjjoolion  wilhthe  tubleit.    The  goat, however, 
from  the  derivntioQ  of  the  word,  the  souods  from 
the  leg«,  woulil  become  almost  synonymous  with 
th*'' r»|ipi))2»  on  the  Ublo,  or  thoKe  noises  which 
were  directed  to  letters  or  divinaticn  on  the  l«hle«. 
The  paasage  of    TertulMnn    Khowit  that  he   wiw 
acqiiainbed  with  spiritualism,  but  be  a><cribe-t  it

mentionetl  by  Terlulliaa  and  practised  by  modem 
ttpi ritual i»t«.     The  two  ehnptcrs  lire  loo  long  to 
give  :  tha.t  of  Soemtes  in  brief,  tbut  of  Sozomen  is 
more  ample  and  full  of  detniK     Vnlocn  wax  em- 
peror A-D.  373.     He  was  iin  Anan,  and  perseeiit«d 
the  orthodox  aad  the  pagan  phiJosopherB.     Sozo- 
mcQ  Bays,  "Tlicy  were  nearly  all  exterminated 
by  him.*     The  reason  was,  according  to  Soxomen, 
that  "  in  thoir  extreme  diwleosiiro  at  tbe  pnigretis 
of  the  Christian  religion"  they  consulted  the  tables 
to  dechue  his  successor.     Socrates  merely  aiys  the 
demon  diBplayed  the  letters  th,  r,  o,  d  in  Circek  ;

Sozomeo  describes  the  maaoei  in  which  these 
pn^iTi  philosophers  made  inquiries  wlio  viu  to  be 
the  micce^'ior  of  Valens: —

Socrates  ftpoko  of  a  demon  ;  Sor-omen  mentions 


I>earing  upon  the  subject  which  might  be  said  now 
of  spiritii:di.im.  He  aays,  in  conclutioa  :  "TbiM 
phiIi)ftopherM  were  indoced  to  violate  the  luwa  of 
the  Koman  empire  tbat  had  eubueted  ever  ainee 
the  legisLition  of  the  pagan  sacrifices."  Does  b« 
mean  the  legislation  before  or  after  Con&tautiaa 
and  the  ('liniiUfLu  emperors  1  I  think  the  fonoer, 
which  would  give  great  aalJonity  to  this  method 
ofdirinattion  which  was  forbidden.  So^omen  him* 
self  was  a  lawyer.  Sozomeo  says  Theodore,  the 
persoQ  these  pagan  philoaophen  wished  to  be 
emperor,  was  immediately  beheaded  by  Valms; 
"  their  hopes  were,"  Sozomen  says,  "  utterly  fro»- 
trated."  Curiously  enough  Vnlen*  waa  kilted  ia 
a  battle  with  tho  Goths  ;  his  succeasor  was  Tbeo- 
dosius  the  Cireat.  Inotcsid  of  faronring  paguusm

Mr,  Pictos  WBerta  that  my  deriTatJon  of  Kit's 
Coty  Hour*  from  the  Gaelic  is  "quite  untenable," 
because  the  Gaelic  l.ingiiage  waa  never  spoken  in 
South  Britiiin,  :md  tbnt  wo  might  juxt  as  well  dfr- 
rive  Kit's  Coty  House  from  Arabic  or  Chinese  aa 
from  the  GaeUc.  AVith  all  deferencf  to  Mr. 
PiLTOK,  I  have  lo  [vwiire  him  that  bo  is  wholly 
wrong.  Gaelic  or  Keltic  was  spoken  before  the 
dnyfi  of  Roman,  Saxon,  or  the  Dane  in  every  part 
of  the  Briti-<h  Itdeg,  except  iu  Cornwall  and  Wales, 
where  unolhor  branch  of  the  Celtic,  niimcly,  the 
Cymric  or  Kymric,  wiia  the  previilcnt  tongue  or 
dialect.  All  the  rivers,  hills,  and  natural  land- 
iniLrki  of  South  Britain  received  their  names  from 
the  Gild,  not  from  the  Kyniri.  Mr.  PtCTos  ahould 
coriBvdt  Whiltaker,  Owen  Pike,  Thomas  Nicholas, 
J.  Pym  Yf!»tin.Tn,  and  others,  who  have  proved 
conclusiroly  that  tlie  British  speech  was  Gnefic,  not 
Kymric  ;  that  the  Britons  were  never  exterminated 
by  theif  invudcnt  ;  ami  that  their  language  to  a 
large  exlont  li;i!»  pt-rnieated  the  colloquiid  and  ver- 
nacular Knglii^h  from  that  day  to  this.  Abundant

(latter  niyactf,  be  found  in  the  fiatUc  Etymolot^ 
of  the  Engluk  Laivputge,  recently  published.  If 
Kit's  Coly  House  were  a  name  not  dfrivetl  from 
the  Brili^b,  i.e.  the  Gaelic  or  Oellic,  spoken  in 
South  Britain,  can  Mr.  Picton  explain  whence 
came  the  names  of  the  British  chiefs  V'ortigern

It  may  not  be  nnintercrting  tn  uoto  that  Taylor,

Kit's  Coty  House,  but  as  hoinj;  "  Tuljjnrly  called

QOUDccd  hard,  and  the  IransitioQ  from  Kit's  Coty

easy  trom  Ctscoat  House  to  Kit's  Coty  House.  I 
have  never  met  with  the  came  of  Cisooat  in  nny

iui|iurtant  point  connected  with  this  suhjec-t  is 
mentioned  by  Dr.  Delany  {Uhaervatioa*  vpon 
lord  ihrtr^t  Jitmarkty  I7&4,  p.  47),  namely, 
that  the  primitive  practioe  of  receiving  the  Sacra* 
meat  every  Lord's  iJay  was  revived  at  St.  Patrick's 
Cuthedml  when  Swift  was  Ordinary  ;  and  that  he

"NoBLRMB  oblioe"  (S'"  S.  X.  8.)— Littri5 
defines  tho  proverb  thus  :  *'  Noblesse  oblige,  c'est- 
A-dire,  quiconcjne  pretend  etre  noble,  doit  ae  bien 
ooodain."  Another  definition  is,  "  Les  conditions 
dea  princMScs  les  obhgent  «  ««  pn'ler  iiuelquefois

ciently  obvious,  though    not    vejy   tKinsLilable.

applied  to  the  ear  makes  it  ache,  I  am  able  to  give 
Mr.  HaTCLiPtesotne  iaformatiou  of  a  mare  agree- 
able  nature  with  reference  to  the  Mine  pUot.  If 
dried  poppy  heads  (obtainable  ut  any  druggist'fl) 
are  boilod  ia  water,  and  the  aching  cur  or  any

by  "legal  pnicLitiouer^i.  Nor  in  it  uutousocabla

I  never  benrd  this  nnme  for  poppies,  but  in

from  the  fact  that  if  oDe  smells  them  much  when

It  in  reiiuirlcabic  that  the  use  of  the  phrase  *'  stone

Scholiast  on  the  Iliad,  on  the  word  KifMfiot  (see

Pkesficcity  is  Wbitino  (O*  8.  x-  BC.)— I  wn 
afraid  such  criticism  as  J.  W.  W.'s,  howerer 
softened  by  his  assuranoe  that  it  is  meant  *'  in  alt 
courtesy,"  will  make  writing  for  "  N.  &  Q."  a 
terror  to  your  contributors.  One  has  in  writiD(j 
frequently  to  t^hooHO  between  two  erils,  either  to 
make  one's  compoHttion  stiff  and  inelegant  or  else 
to  be  not  entirely  perspicuous,  that  is,  what 
J.  W.  W.  coDsiders  perspicuoua.  My  senteDce 
concerning  Milton  and  my  correspoDdenl  Lcrcs 
was,  according  to  absolutely  strict  rules  of  com- 

rwition,  profiibly  enough  inaccnrutc,  hut  it  was, 
Rubntit,  perfectly  intelligible  and  not  nn;{raiD- 
matical.  Lord  Macauhy  ia  indispntably  in  the 
front  rank  of  Engliah  prose  writers,  and  yet  his 
greatest  nduiirera  must,  I  think,  admit  that  bis 
style  is  often,  if  not  awkward,  nt  unv  rale  ioelegaot, 
on  account  of  hia  dislike  to  uaing  t'be  relative  pn>- 
DOUQ  and  his  con.stnnt  repetition  of  the  leauinj; 
word  in  his  sentences.  I  am  absent  from  hntD«  at 
present,  and  have  none  of  Macautaya  worittjU 
hand  to  refer  to,  but  I  can  illustrate  017 
as  follows.  l^Incaulay  would  write  9om< 
the  following  style  :  "  Johason  was  a  _ 
Johnson  was  a  grcitt  moralist,  JohnsoQ 
man,  but  no  one  can  say  that  Johnson 
poet."  This  is  no  doubt  as  clear  as  it  con  ponbly 
be,  but  would  it  not  be  more  elegant  to  aajf* 
"  Johnson  was  a  great  writer,  a  gre^Lt  mormUsI,  i 
great  nuUf  but  no  one  can  say  that  he  was  a  gnat 

Ct"}  Mocaulay  no  doubt  gained  greatly  ia 
linotisness  and  perspicuity  from  bis  repetttioa 
of  the  leading  word  in  his  seulcnces,  but  per- 
epicuity  is  not  tho  only  merit  in  writing ;  oH 
must  at  the  same  time  aim  at  being  easy  sad 
elegant.  Besides,  a  writer  must  give  his  readen 
credit  for  boinc  gifted  with  au  ordioiiry  amount  of 
intelligence.  I  do  not  mean  to  say  that  MrKittday 
is  not  Iwtb  an  eiuy  and  an  elegant  writer  ;  I  only 
mean  thut  in  his  great  desire  that  his  readcn 
should  not  misnnderatand  him  I  think  lie  soue* 
times  sacrificed  ease  and  elegance  to  perypicoity. 
However,  when  I  remember  that  a  charge  of  voiK 
of  perspicuity  was  dodo  brought  against  one  of  lb* 
gR'ateel  v(  living  writers,  a  writer  whose  pen  I  an 
uaWotthy  so  much  as  to  mend,  I  may  Ray  t0 
J.  W.  W.,  "  I  am  not  cnrcful  to  answer  (bee  in 
this  matter."  Some  years  ngo  a  false  rejH^rt  git 
into  the  papers  that  Mr.  (^lyle  was  annriy«d  is 
the  streets  by  jeering  and  hooting.  Mr.  i^arl^ 
wrote  a  letter  contradicting  this,  and  in  order  DO 
doubt  to  give  greater  emphaaia  to  his  denial,  be 
stated  that  it  was  tht  ««ry  rsMfM  of  tnie  ;  wbei*-

translate  Dante  if  ho  so  pkweee  ;  and  on  tbtj  prin- 
ciple lliat  in  order  to  know  n  sulgect  oonip]eli-ty 
one  should  write  a  book  about  it,  I  can  q^iiite  be- 
lieve  th.iC  in  order  to  understand  a  foreign  author 
thoroughly  the  best  way  is  to  translate  him.  So 
mncb  for  the  atudc&t  hini8«lf ;  but,  us  far  as  Eng- 
lish readers  are  concerned,  Loagfellow*s  translation 
of  Dante  ia  so  excellent  in  idl  r&ipecU  that  it  ap- 
pears to  me  to  have  rendcnd  any  iiub»eiiuent  ono 
superfluous.  It  is  true  that  Longfellow'ii  v«raioa 
is  not  in  terza  n'ma,  cind  that  on  absolutely  perfect 
version  of  any  poet  ought  to  be  in  tlie  poet's  uwn 
metre.  Such  a  vcraion,  however,  in  the  Ciise  of 
Dasto  Bppconi  to  be  unattninable.  Tctza  rinui 
has  never  become  nutvndiitod  in  our  poetical 
literoture,  nor  does  the  Kn^liith  luDgtmgv,  for 
reasons  which  I  urn  unable  to  explain,  lend  itnelf 
readily  to  this  form  of  metre.  Mr.  Tomlinson 
certainly  deserves  much  credit  for  the  way  in 
which  he  hua  gmppted  with  the  difficulties  of 
his  task.  Some  paiHiiges  —  Ibe  opening  of  the 
thirteoDth  cuntu,  for  instances-are  verj'  well  done, 
but  I  cannot  help  thinking  that  he  was  not  alto- 
gether wise  in  Aele^tiog  tfrsa  rima  for  his  transla- 
tion. His  adoption  of  this  metre  has  occasionally 
compelled  him  to  Uiko  liberties  with  bis  aullior 
which  cannot  but  have  been  painful  to  a  devoted 
lover  of  Dant«,  ttuch  as  I  conclude  Mr.  Tomlinson 
to  be.  For  instance,  in  c.  vi.  1.  21,  the  poet,  sjKak- 
inc  of  the  gluttons  lonucutcd  by  Che  UDceusing 
mm,  says,  "Volgonsi  spesso  i  mistri  profani." 
Blr.  Toiiilinson  very  Btrangely  renders  this,  "  Oft 
they  turn,  these  miserable  profaned."    Now^  it  is 


ia 


di&icult  to  see  bo-w  a  sinner  can  be  said  to  hr  pro- 
faned. Of  coQise  Dante  menus  the  miwrnUc  ;»ti>- 
jaTK,  and  »>  liin  trnn&tivtor  would  Iiuve  ^.lid  hod 
not  the  exigencies  of  bin  rhyme  obliged  him 
turo  the  adjective  into  a  participle.  Again, 
c  xxxiii.  I.  72,  L'golino  suya  with  ansa 
pathos  : — 

•*  Ond'  to  mi  diedl 
QU  ffleoo  a  brancohu  sorrs  ciucnno." 

Mr.  Tomlinson   says,  "  I   blind  imd   lone, 
course  Ugolino  was  at  this  ttmr  hIodc,  itod  I  will 
not  deny  that  the  word  "lone"  adds  to  the  p»th(« 
of  (III)  scoDO  (if  that  be  possible)  ;  etiU  D;tut«  don 
not  ?ay  that  l.'golino  woa  alone,  nor  would  Mr. 
Tomlinson  have  said  so  bad  he  been  writinj^  in 
blank  venie.     But  the  most  tinforlunato  n^odering 
that  I  have  come  acruas  is  that  of  c.  iv.    I 
whero  Donto  adls  Aristotle  "il  maestro  di  col 
ohe  sanno."  that  is,   "  the  iii:iater  of  thotte  who 
know."      Mr.    Tomlinson    has  diluted   Uits   into 
"  who  knowledge  colttvate,"  thereby  sacriBciii{^  the 
simplicity  and  emphasis  of  the  phnur.     Tenny- 
son, who  appoara  to  have  hod  Danle  in  mind  vhra 
writing  the  stnnwi  in  his  Falact  of  Arl  in  whidi 
ho  speaks  of  Pluto  and  Bacon,  has  with  much  good 
taste  reodeped  the  pbraw  literally  : — 

"Plato  the  wItt  Slid  iBme-brovre'l  Vemlan, 
The  first  of  tliuae  wlio  kiiaw." 

All  eduaited  people  "cullivale  knowledot"  IM>I*> 
or  loss,  but  how  many  can  be  said  to  ''uiini*  ut 
Diioto's  tiicanicg  of  the  word  ? 

Mr.  Tomlinwn's  is  the  twentieth  vonioD  (or 
thereabouts)  of  the  Inferno  that  hx\^  np|«fqav>d  in 
less  than  forty  yciin",  and  it  is  accordingly  rtnothi-r 
proof  of  the  reviral  of  the  study  of  Dunt^  whtch 
the  present  century  has  witnessed.  Mutton  in 
this  respect  are  tjontcwbot  chungod  Hincv  Addiios

It  ta  in  this  eense  tbat  we  mnst  explain  the 
word  in  tbe  passage  nnder  consideration  ;  for,  aa 
fur  as  my  observation  baa  gone,  Shakesjiearo  never 
uses  it  in  tbe  inctapborioU  scdsm;  of  abundoning 
oneself  to  evil,  but  literally,  to  yuit  or  leave,  as  to 
forsake  a  fiCJit  or  couulfy  ;  and  in  this  sonso  it  isr 
iuipoMible  Co  forsake  ourselTO& 

Therw  remains,  then,  only  the  difficulty  con- 
nected with  the  word  rcpu.  I  ndnitt  that  it  is 
not  used  by  Sbakeapeare  in  any  other  pojisage 
wiih  tbe  uieania;;  of  outcry  ;  but  a  list,  not  vciy 
Kiiiall,  may  be  funned  of  wonjs  used  only  once  by 
hitn.  It  wiiA  well  known  in  Iiih  tiim-,  and  vciy 
generally  uied,  thnngh  pmbnbiy  it  hiul  bcooine  a 
provincial  word.  Kx:iniples  of  ila  uso  are  given 
by  Stiatmann.  Of  these  1  will  quote  only  one : — 
"  Ther  be  fond  bis  ein]i«rice 

Witb  luuruid  cliere,  and  nith  niiM 

Hood  wriiif^iiiiK  and  loud  rtmjic. 

And  bere  vi*atfe  al  bcwboiic." 

SvB.Sagu,  I183-S6. 

I  copy  the  word  as  Weber  bos  printed  it  Stmt- 
ninnn  has  ropi',  probably  from  another  MS.  The 
bitter  form  is  found  in  the  Ajwren  KitcU,  whcto 
ropetfi  luiswers  to  tbe  Let.  elamat,  and  is  nearer 
the  Fricsic  ropo,  clAiuare,  as  rmp  is  to  the  Dutch 
TGfpen. 

The  word  in  tbis  senae  ^veji  an  intelU^ble 
moftcing  to  the  passage,  and,  in  fiict,  tho  very 
nie,itiin(r  that  the  context  would  lead  us  to  expect. 
Of  course,  if  yoti  will  .ilEer  the  words  of  a  writer 
atl  lib.,  you  may  gniu  a  menning  that  may  be 
(tttlisfnct^OT  to  tbe  author  of  the  propoaed  emenda- 
tion, but  I  protest  iiKainst  this  too  cuminoti  method 
of  treating  onr  groat  dmniatist.  If  a  aultable 
meaning  can  be  found  for  tlie  word<i  ah  they  stand, 
it  is  better  to  adopt  this  mciming  th:Lii  to  exercise 
an  UQwamipUible  ingenuity  in  slKiping  tbe  passage 
aa  an  individual  fancy  may  sug^ext.

Uhine  for  the  reception  of  English  grain.  Hence 
it  would  follow  that  *'  n  Urge  portion  of  the 
country  was  (ncl)  dense  forest"  when  tho  Aogto- 
Saxons  invaded  England.  The  ea^y  conquest  of 
the  country  hy  the  cotopanttively  small  armies 
which  came  across  fioni  the  ContiacnC  points  to  a 
settled,  woU-farmcd  nution,  the  natives  of  which 
hftd  been  growing  pniin  for  their  Iloman  masters 
and  hiid  lost  their  martial  habits. 

The  dirisioQ  of  land  by  lot  dates  bftck  (o  the 
cocqueai  of  Canaan  by  the  Israelites.  The  all- 
odths  estAhlisfaed  by  the  Anglo-Saxons  do  not  ap- 
pear to  hare  bcCDitio  the  private  property  of  the 
occupiers,  if  the  word  '^  property"  can  property  be 
applied  to  land.  It  was  a  poasessiun  neld  under 
the  state.  The  hind  was  all  fotc  land  distributed 
to  individuals  or  families  by  the  Folc-gcinot.  The 
right  to  grant  land  by  charter,  and  thus  convert  it 
into  boc  (book  or  ch.-irti?r)  hiiuls,  was  the  gradual 
growth  of  centuries  ;  even  King  Alfred,  in  his 
win,  dmws  the  di-itinction  between  the  folc  land 
and  the  hnc  land  which  he  poEsesited.  The  system 
of  landholding  previous  to  the  Norman  invauoit 
was  foudul,  and  there  ts  a  legal  decision  to  that 
effect  of  the  Irish  Court  of  King's  Rench  tn  tlio 
reign  of  Charles  I.  The  essence  of  the  fTstem  of 
luadbolding  before  and  after  tho  Norman  conquest 
was  the  eanic,  though  its  mode  of  expreHsion  was 
diifercnt.  That  which  vraxfolc  land  in  the  forincr 
hecnme  ercum  Und  in  the  latter,  iniuirauch  as  the 
power  of  the  monarch  waxed  while  that  of  tho 
people  waned,  but  they  alike  declared  against 
private  property  in  land.  Norman  ftJudaliBWi  only 
gave  a  life  use  of  the  land  ;  the  fend  relumed  to 
the  superior  on  the  death  of  the  fendee.  Investi- 
ture woe  ft  donation  for  life,  and  primer  seizin  was 
tho  rent  received  by  the  superior  during  the  time

death  of  tho  feudec  and  the  investiture  of  bis  suc-

At  the  present  tittie  tho  lor^eit  estate  a  Britiflh

h^lds  hut  docs  not  own.  I  cannot  trace  bsick  even 
that  ownership  further  than  the  reicn  of  Henry  VII., 
when  retainers  were  abolished.  The  wars  of  the 
Plantagenets  were  a  long  struggle  between  the 
nobles  and  the  crown  ;  the  former  sought  to  make 
the  possession  of  their  lands  herediuiry.  The 
crown  rights  which  ininiied  direct  ownership  were 
not  surrendered  until  the  time  of  Charles  H.,  when 
he  giivG  up  w.irds  and  liveries,  primer  seisin,  and 
other  rights  iu  exchange  for  a  tax  on  beer.  If

Thus  we  have  the  anil,  the  Gii(fer  (eight  of  which

Eoglirh  hind  mensure  finds  it«  integer  in  the  step

furlonf;,  nnd  eight  furlongs  the  mite.  The  mile  of 
l,7tii' yiirda  is  1,920  pac<a  of  tfairCy-three  inchc*

Tod.  The  nqnare  perch,  30^  square  yar(U,  is  simply 
the  perch,  5J  yda.  by  6i  ydii. ;  forty  porL-ht-i  iiijike 
the  rood  and  four  roods  the  acre.  I  think  the 
integer  of  lineal  oa  well  na  that  of  surface  measure 
is  the  hiimati  puce,  2  it.  1>  in.,  nod  1  hure  seen  an-

Iialf  an  :ii:ro  ;  iiiid  nt  the  end  of  Uh)  two  hundred 
and  fortieth  (forty  perches)  an  acre.  Of  course  if 
the  base  be  widened  the  disCAOco  will  be  propor- 
tionately shortened. 

I  am  not  at  nil  clear  that  the  bide  of  land  was 
arrived  nt  by  multiplying  or  buildiuj;  up  from  tlw 
acre,  nad  imi  more  dispoitod  to  think  it  wiis  arrived 
at  by  dividing.  I  have  usually  seen  it  e'tJiualed 
at  Un  OLCivi.  Mr.  Pictok  states  it  at  160  acreA. 
According  to  the  laws  of  Atbelston,  "If  a  norl 
eo  thii%e<l  tliiit  he  had  fully  _fiv<  hides  of  land 
(600  acres),  church  and  kiuAtcn,  hcU  house  and

then  l^wa4  thenceforth  Ihant  right  worthy."  He 
nsoeDded  in  the  social  scale  from  the  position  of

England  into  0»,21Ij  kuitfhts'  fees;  if  each  of  them 
was  four  lnAt-!\  of  IGO  acres,  or  010  acres,  it  wonld 
make  38,.')37,ftOit  a^res,  and  according  to  rnvut 
surveys  tbe  urea  ts  only  32,500,307  acres.  If  tlie 
knittht's  fee  was  four  hides  of  ISO  acres,  or  -11^

Tbe  Lollaww'  Towitii  (S""  S.  x.  80, 126.)— It  is 
quito  certain  that  there  was  a  Lollards'  Tower  at 
the  sonth-west  comer  of  St.  Paul's.  But  thoiu^ 
all  may  believe  in  the  Lowlardea"  Towor  wmoh 
w.afl  bnmt  in  1861,  thet^  is  no  iwwon  why  we 
should  doubt  the  exiatcnco  oljHhe  Lollards'  Tower 
at  Lnmbeth,  which  is  still  itanding.  It  has»  I 
believe,  always  been  held  to  be  a  doubtful  point 
whether,  when  Hugh  Lttimer  said  that  "he  would 
rather  go  to  PurfraUffj  than  to  the  LoUerds' 
Tower,"  he  meant  the  tower  at  Si,  Paul's  or  that 
at  Ijarahetb :  both  were  episcopal  priaoD^.  Tho 
most  distinct  account  of  Ihc  Lollards'  Tower 
St.  Paui'a  is  given  by  Stow  (<»ec  "  N.  &  Q.,"  4*  S. 
i.  064),  and  a.  good  print  of  the  cathedral,  ahowiag' 
the  exact  position  of  the  tower,  is  to  be  foilDd  to 
Cassclls  on  and  New  London  (i.  250).  One  of 
tho  moiat  notorious  of  the  deaths  in  this  prtnon  was 
that  of  Richard  Hunne  in  I5U,  who  is  dcpictad 
as  hangiDK  tn  his  cell  of  torture,  in  "the  prlecn 
within  the  LolUmla*  Tower  at  Paul's,"  in  F 
Acti  and  Monwatnli  (edit.  10-11,  il  lb).  It 
certain  that  oil  Protestants  at  that  tinio  fallj^j 
believed  that  Hunne  was  murdered  in  the  Lol' 
Tower,  as  the  verdict  of  the  coroner's  iniuiest  irti 
forth  ;  and  no  donbt  Lntiraer  refers  to  this  Is  h«* 
letter  to  Morice  (Fox,  Ul  SC4)  when  he  giwjs 
a  reason  why  1m?  woold  rather  go  to  Purgfiaej 
thtin  to  the  Lollards'  Tower,  because  "  there  tii^ 
might  strangle  me,  and  then  gi%-e  out  that  Ibn 
hang'd  myself."  If,  as  it  geems,  this  ceil  wu  a 
part  of  the  bell-tower,  the  prison  of  tho  Lolknl» 
was  indeed  a  place  of  torment ;  and  at  the  ioqoesl 
on  Hunne  the  hell-rinijer,  who  was  his  gaoler,  was 
brought  in  .is  guilty  of  bis  dcnth. 

It  is  usually  said  that  the  Lollards*  Tower 
destroyed  by  Ere  in  1561.  l>Dubtles3  the  i 
remained  and  the  tower  was  restored ;  for  8l 
in  hia  Annah,  mentions  that  Peter  Burchet 
imprisoned  there  in  1573,  and  in  his  Survry  ef 
Londoti  (1754,  L  7li8)  says  that  Burchet  was  tli* 
last  person  who  was  committed  to  the  LollHr>N' 
Tower.  It  was  finally  and  altogether  deslrnyed  in 
the  Great  Fire  of  IGtMi.  Edward  Sollt.

He  lived  and  died  at  Strcud-on-the-Green.  He 
there  pointed  a  large  picture  of  the  Last  Supper 
and  presented  it  to  St.  CTOorgc's  Chaix-l  m  an  altar-

is  to  be  traced  the  surprising  but  very  common 
popular  error,  into  which  Mh.  Kkhhrdt  appeiirs 
to  have  fallen,  of  supposing  that  Newton  ia  cre- 
dited with  tho  "eminciatinn  of  the  principle  of 
gravitatioa."  The  emmnation  of  the  principle,  so 
far  as  it  is  involved  in  the  passnga  from  2'roilus 
and  Crtitida,  is  as  old  us  Aristotle  ;  and  even  the 
law  that  the  force  of  gravitatioo  is  in  inverse  pro- 
portion to  the  square  of  the  distance  bud  beea 
conjectured  from  analogy,  and  aoted  upon  as  aa 
hypothesb  by  philosophiTH  prcvimin  to  Newton. 
what  has  miwe  his  name  immortal  is  thp  demon-

the  eve  of  Sl  Luke's  Day.  Brady,  iftsfory  p/

that  "King  John  died  on  St.  Luke's  Day,  or  the

re<l  lines  on  each  page,  as  in  the  copy  noticed  by

it  has  "  the  royal  amis  stamped  on  both  sides  of  the 
cover,  nnd  the  back  ornamented  with  gitt  crowns," 
I  cannot  discover  that  it  ever  beloosed  to  any  of 
the  royal  family.  My  impcessioo  is  that  such  books 
are  not  scarce.  Mine  was  printed  at  Oxford  in

The  Sukfloweb  (6**  S.  ™l  348,  37.'>,  431, 
■1!>7 ;  X.  14.) — Your  correspondent  is  p<>rh»p» 
correct,  and  therefore  vre  may  anppose  that  the 
sunllower  bosses  on  Buddhist  and  other  Indo- 
reli^oufl  orders  of  architecture  represent  in  reality 
the  marijiold.  But  wc  are  at  once  met  by  many 
difficulties.  The  marigold  of  India  is  what  we 
ODil  the  "■  African  marigold."  Its  petals  are  unlike 
thu5e  of  the  auofiovrer,  which  our  common  mari- 
gold ruseuihlcs.  And  again,  in  old  Penioa 
Utuminntcd  M3S.  I  am  not  B.%tished  that  tbe 
flower  and  leaf  bo  constantly  introduced  are  oot 
those  of  the  so-called  Penivun  aundower.  But  I 
have  myiwir  been  a  careful  cultivBtor  of  the  MU- 
tlower  m  the  Hinialayus,  in  tbe  liKhl  soil  of  lis 
Punjab,  in  the  Wost  Indies,  and  iu  Kaglnd. 
I  have  had  a  sunflower  sixteen  feet  high,  wldl 
A  di»c  of  nearly  eighteen  inches !  Several  ex- 
cellent (tpecimens  must,  in  post  yean,  h^ire  been 
well  known  to  the  florists  of  Winton,  where,  in 
the  warm  and  humid  shelter  of  enclosed  pardons 
near  the  station,  this  flower  thrives  wonderfully. 

With  regard  to  the  habit  of  turning  to  ihc  !<un. 
most  plants  have  it  more  or  less,  and  i-siHJciallj 
succulent  plants.  I  have  never  observed  »  son- 
lluwcr  tiirnod  away  from  the  sun  or  facing  thi 
north.  Now  in  Pern,  in  the  southern  tropic,  ii 
would  face  the  north.  But  tliere,  I  have  Utile 
doubt,  it  is  never  found  to  fiice  the  south,  as 
it  does  in  tbe  northern  beniiipherc.  In  the 
HiiuuUyaK  it  faced  tlic  south  or  west.  But  I 
Mtaa  not  a  euBIoienLly  early  riser  to  reniuk 
whether  it  commenced  to  mnke  its  obeisaoos 
towards  the  east  in  the  early  nioming.  I  daf»- 
a&y  it  did,  however.  But  even  a  sunflower  may 
become  a  dangerocu  subject  to  the  heterodox, 
and  therefore  I  sbnll  not  pursue  it.  Lastly,  the 
African  marigold  and  btiltuuu  {imvaiieru)  i\re,  as 
double  llowers,  wnstanlly  sccu  in  Hindu  places  of 
worship.  With  regard  to  the  latl«r,  I  may  haxord 
the  conjecture  th-it  as  the  numb«r  nine  lies  at  tbe 
root  of  most  religious  systems,  and  us  it  is  said 
that  "  doable  balsams  are  obtained  by  keeping  the 
seed  nine  years,"  there  may  be  somo  symbolio 
conceit  in  the  preference  ^own  for  it.        oval.

An  Epitaph:   "A  lboal  kioht  of  twkktt 
tears"  (&"*  S.  X.  S8.>— The  " legal  night"  in  this 
epitnph  means  that  for  twenty  years  the  subject  of 
it  WM  under  tho  law  (drwided  the  terrors  of  it)  on 
account  of  sin  before  he  became  converted — the  law 
of  which  St  Paul  stveaks  when  he  .lays,  "  I  bad  not 
known  sin  but  by  the  law,"  and  "Ye  arc  not  under 
the  law,  but  under  K^ac^-"     It  is  on  adaptation  of 
tbo  second  verve  of  the  celebrated  epitAph  which 
tho  Weiloys  placed  upon  the  tombstone  of  their 
mother  (T  omit  the  first  nnd  fourth  verses): — 
"  Tme  daughter  nf  affliction,  she, 
Inured  Co  pain  and  miMrr. 
Mouro'd  a  lone  nigbt  of  griefs  and  fesri, 
A  Uigai  nn^  o/  tevfutp  yta  rt, 

Tlie  Patlier  then  rflveni'd  hia  Son. 

Him  in  the  broken  brMd  made  iinown; 
tfha  knew  and  felt  her  sina  furgiwrt. 

And  found  tba  earuMtnf  her  lieaven." 

The  father  of  the  latu  I'rofessor  Conin^fon  was 
a  coostjuit  reader  and  gr«at  admirer  of  \Vi>ti]eys' 
hynins.  I  haro  frequently  heard  hitii  r^y  tbiil  th'eii 
hymn-book  was  the  fioesb  in  the  world.      R.  R.

I  conjecture  that  the  "  lejpil  night "  ns  to  which 
Mr,  BDiT<riiiRii  se^-ks  inforuiacioii  beloiiga  to  the 
department  of  tbeolrtpy  rather  tlmn  to  that  of  Inw. 
The  subject  of  the  inocription  wa.i  probably  a  member 
of  some  "  EvaagoUcai  "  commiiniry,  and  could  cive 
—  after  the  manner  of  Mr.  Wesley  and  his  fol- 
lowers— the  day  and  hour  of  hia  '*  conversion." 
The  "  IcgiU  niffht "  of  twenty  years  would  represent 
tbuu  [ho  npiritual  state  of  the  deceased  previously 
to  his  conversion,  while  the  terrors  of  *'  the  law  " 
»tiil  held  him  in  bonrlaj^e.  Tbo  Islo  of  Wight 
fifty  years  ago,  jo  the  days  of  Mr.  Lcph  Riahmond, 
wits  one  of  the  sacred  spots  of  K\'angeliailijim,  and 
inscriptions  of  this  kind  ure  likely  to  be  as  common 
there  as  tbey  are  in  other  pliicea  similarly  con- 
ditioned^notably  in  Bcckfiib:uii,  Kent,  the  scene 
of  tbe  labours  of  the  Intc  Dr.  Marsh. 

Edward  H.  Mabsiull. 

I  should  Jud^o  that  this  epitaph  was  conkjKJsed 
by  or  for  u  Culvinist  or  Aulinominn  of  tbo  "deepest 
dye."  "  The  legal  siglic  of  twenty  yean  "  pmbubly 
refers  to  tbe  time  when  he  tbouttbt  it  necessary 
t«  his  salvation  to  keep  the  precepts  of  the 
Decalogue-  When  be  wus  "  enlij^htened,"  or  con- 
verted, be  doubtless  found  thul  he  hud  ncedle-ssly 
troubled  himself  about  leading  a  strict  life,  for  "  by 
tbo  deeds  of  the  law  shall  no  nuut  bring  b« 
jnatifiod."  Of  course,  I  am  putting  the  case  from 
his  own  point  of  view.  W.  M.  B. 

I  b.tzard  the  speculation,  thouf:b  with  consider- 
able doubt,  that  the  allusion  may  i)c  to  tho  xtatulory 
period  of  limitatiun  to  n  judgment.  A  simple  con- 
tnict  debt  eau  be  barred  by  effluxion  of  lime  in  six 
years,  A  contract  of  record  (as,  for  instance,  a 
jadgment)  raos  for  twenty.  S.  P.

Jlonith't  \A  expLiined  in  Mr.  Morris's  Fwrjiesj 
Glou.  by  "  wearied,  tired  out,"  iind  Mr,  Peacock, 
in  his  ^.  Lane.  Otoss.,  has.  "  livnnish,  to  starve 
a  person  for  wont  of  food."  These  explftiiuUons 
do  not  give  the  full  i^nse  of  the  word  as  n.^ed  in 
South  Lancafibire.  There  honiak  htu\  the  ume 
inenning  as  the  more  common  word  pine,  "  to  fade 
away  "  or  '*  to  cause  to  Cide  owaj,"  "  to  neglect 
and  maltreat."  The  participle  honishtd  was  more 
frequeotly  u»etl,  uod  uieaat  "piachud  with  cold 
nnd  hunger,  miserable  in  look  and  farm."  A 
pCANiiit  wcMUBQ  would  «ay  of  soiiio  children  that 
niid  \iecn  groesly  neglctited,  "Th'iniir  baJrns  wur 
fair  AoiiwA^aw  uuhou-d  yo,"  liic  utter  expression 
being  the  Lancaflhire  equivateat  for  "I  assure 
you." 

The  eiamplea  brought  forward  by  Prof.  Slteat 
in  support  of  hi3  explanation  show  i-unolaHivdy 
Ihiit  the  word  ii>  our  Lcvncosliin  lionith.  In  the 
roiuanoe  of  Alr.nnuUr  it  in  said  that  the  ic^e  gave 
waywlifU  ho  wiw  trying  to  cross  a(rf>7en  river,  and 

"  Ilu  lior*  it  AMNyicAuI  [for  /•URjfKhil]  for  culro"; 
and,  again,  that  the  hunt  was  ao  great  in  h\a  ex< 
pedition  against  King  Poms  as  to  cause  the  dentb 
of  some  of  hi*  Holdiero, 

"Sam  intliaireharnaisfarhetewM  (4>>)  AdJUKforeuire," 
i.e.  (we  are  told)  "Rome  of  Ihem  in  their  annoiir, 
owing  to  the  beat,  were  diAtniawd  I'or  tbrmt  out 
of  this  world)  for  over."  But  the  word  hnneh 
does  Dot  mean  to  dlamii!!,  and  if  it  did,  it  in  an 
BSHutnptioa  to  assert  that  it  may  lueau  to  dismiss 
from  life.  The  writer  intended  to  say  ihiil  the  ito 
in  the  first  case,  and  the  heat  in  the  other,  caused 
the  unfortannte  rictims  to  fade,  or  pass,  nwar  for

"TUE  liASS  OP  RICHMOND  HILL." 
(5»  8.  ix.  169,  239,  317,  49B  ;  x.  6i),  92.) 

Mr.  Chappru,'«  remarks  on  my  comraunicjitinn 
of  June  SS  demand  a  reply,  as  I  am  described  by 
him  as  "  an  ndTocatis  who  does  not  qoote  fully  ami 
fiurly,"  nod  ray  accoUDt  is  said  to  Iw  "  inaccurate" 
in  face  of  the  strong  testUuooy  by  which  it  was 
Bupported. 

If  Mr,  CnAPPELi.  had  produced  one  tittle  of 
evidence  to  prove  that  McNallr  *v»s  not  tbe 
author  of  tho  words  of  the  aong  tfie  nutrer  tiii^ht 
have  been  allowed  to  rest ;  hut  he  has  not  done 
so.  He  hns  simply  confined  himself  to  an  agree- 
ment in  opinion  with  a  oorresiKindcnt  Pin,  who 
wrote  in  your  columns  from  Richmond  {Surrey,  I 
believe)  in  ISHG,  and  who  was  "inclined  to  think" 
it  was  written  by  Mr.  William  Upton,  author  of 
A  ColUrtirm  of  Songt  funy  at  Vatuhall,  1778- 
1780,  without  saying  if  that  collection  contnineil 
it  The  rest  of  Mr.  Cuappell's  loiter  is  con- 
fined lo  t:cutrulitie-i  and  n  few  additional  facta, 
new  to  mo,  but  which  are  not  in  any  way  in- 
oonsiatent  with  ray  alatvments.  The  third  prira- 
mph,  howevi^r,  contains  a  ptdpable  non  se^uitur. 
Havio^  proved  tltiit  the  sodj;  was  first  sung  nt 
VimxhuU  by  ladedon  in  ITF^l),  be  demolishes 
the  McNally  story  by  assorting  thai  he  was 
inarri«d  to  ftUsa  ['Anson  two  yeom  prerionsly, 
and  oould  not  therefore  have  wuttsn  such  Unes  as 


th^  soDg  coDlAins  when  he  was  a  married  inan, 
ignoring  the  proltobility  that  the  ballad  may  have 
bMn  written  years  before  it  was  wedded  to  music 
If  it  oould  bate  been  proved  that  Miaa  rAnson 
was  not  born  until  after  Im-k'dou  bad  sung  the 
buUiid,  this  would,  to  my  mind,  have  been  n  mors 
conclusive  argument  againtit  tho  theory  of  het 
being  the  heroine. 

Mr.  Oiiappbli.  quotes  tbe  letter  of  Pni,  who 
sayK  MiM  rAoBoo's  father  was  "a  rich  attam^j 
in  Bedford  Row  who  had  a  country  hotue  on 
Richmond  Hill";  but  in  his  postscript  be  nddl 
tbe  word  "Surrey,"  and  makes  it  uppfar  iinpos- 
siblo  that  a.  rich  London  attorney  could  lUkT*  a 
house  at  Richmond,  YurltBhire. 

I  alated  facts  only,  and  have  l<«>n  unable  to  mt 
thiit  ihero  was  any  "indulgence  of  poetical  Cuicy' 
io  asserting  that  the  commencing  line  of  tbo  MO^ 

"  0»  RicbmoBd  IliU  tliero  Uvea  a  Ims," 
was  appropriately  descriptive  of  the  place  of  nsl* 
denw  of  tho  heroine,  because  she  realty  lived  ins 
house  at  tbe  top  of  the  hill  rather  thiin  at  tbt 
bottom  or  half  way  up. 

1  thouBht  I  had  disposed  of  the  "  Hutch  "  wm ' 
in  n  Himiiimry  manner,  bnt  I  find  T  mn-t  fortift

the  letter  J  for  I  in  the  record  of  the  umrrisjff  is

sought  out  nnd  hecaino  acqiminled  with  the  lend- 
ing miisiool  professor?  imd  amateurs.  At  len'jtb 
he  was  led  to  adopt  a  project  for  the  improrement 
of  the  jpaalmody  then  in  rogue,  by  uniting  the 
best  nliffknu  poetry  he  could  tind,  not  only  wich 
the  old  Btandonl  well-known  tunes,  reiumngcd  by 
himself  sometiniea  very  happily,  or  altered  occa-

in  which  ho  made  a  free  use  of  the  nuiiaeB  of 
Ilaydn,  fttozarl,  and  Beethoven  for  the  choruses, 
many  of  which  became  extremely  popuUr,  m

Zion,"  and  the  quartette.  "He  was  like  a  morning

in  his  eighty-fourth  year.  Almost  to  the  lut  he 
Uited  to  walk  nut  with  the  activity  and  viracity  of 
youth,  and  continued  to  hnd  enjoyment  frou  hii 
favourite  science.  His  latest  labours  were  tfci 
production  of  a  jxuticcio  upeni,  in  the  old  ballad 
style ;  the  armngcmeot  for  puhllcation  of  th» 
piaitoforte  score  of  Juiiah,  a  tlilck  volume  of  340 
[)agefl ;  and  a  supulemcntary  or  third  voluiun  of 
AJtitic  ami  Fritnat,  interepened  with  a  number 
of  origiuU  songa.  Mr.  Gardiner's  great  aim  in 
his  adaptations  was  to  use  such  words  as  would 
sing  welt  and  suit  the  sentiment  of  tho  music, 
in  this  he  was  genemlly  successful ;  ooil 
especially  skilful  in  the  abridgment  or  elo; 
of  the  melodious  auhjectft  he  drew  from  tho 
of  other  componcra.  An  to  wh.-il  has  becooie'

portions  ore  out  of  print,  and  the  rest,  I  think,

It  Tift  on  Noremher26, 1773,  at  Trinity  Chnrch, 
Coventry— the  dote  and  place  were  not  given  by

Private  Pbopbrtt  iir  Land  is  En{jland 
(5"'  K.  ii.  3-17,  389;  x.  141>.)-t  cannot  agree 
with  Mil  Pictox's  etymology  of  roifd  (lueaninR 
the  ciiiarter  of  an  acre)  from  A,-S.  nidan,  to  root 
up,  ini-anio:;  a  clearing.  No  doubt  tiio  word 
roc((  or  rful  in  namcB  of  phicea  haa  thli  deri- 
vation. But  I  think  Ihe  word  rood  ai  a  land 
Qicaturo  is  identical  with  rod,  and  the  same  03 
pole  or  perch.  In  Chin  county  (Cliesliire)  I  hear 
the  word  rood  commonly  nu^d  to  mean  both  the 
Uoeal  and  square  perch,  cj.,  hedging  and  ditching 
are  contracted  for  at  bo  much  tho  rood,  me:inin^ 
the  Cheshire  porch  of  dght  yards.  How  tho  wor<t 
cnuc  to  huve  two  moaning^  im  a  supcrGciul 
meneure  aeeuis  easy  to  explain.  I  take  the 
xOKoxmcn  furlong,  sind  rorf  or  rood^  to  haro  had 
their  origin  tii  the  allotmenta  of  the  common  land 
among  the  freemco.  In  parcelling  out  the  allot- 
mcnta  of  plough  land  it  would  1»p  found  convement 
to  hiwe  n  common  unit  of  length  in  the  direction 
of  tho  plough  Imclc,  a  furrow  long,  or  furlong. 
This  would  bo  tho  length  of  all  the  allntmonta. 
The  unit  of  breadth  wiw  the  rod,  rood,  pole  or 
perch  (not,  I  ahould  thinlr,  the  length  of  a  measur- 
ing rod  or  pole,  but  the  diManco  uetwcen  two  of 
the  poles  or  rods  itnck  at  etiual  ictcrvals  in  the 
ground  as  land  marks).  Sach  commoner  would  be 
Bllotted  so  innny  of  lhe«e  hreadthn  as  his  portion. 
Not  iniprulxibly  tLc  distance  between  theso  poles 
would  be  the  diatjince  between  the  up  and  down 
track  of  the  plough  «t  their  extreme  limits,  or  the 
distance  between  two  open  furrows.  The  rod  or 
rood  being  thuR  origirmlly  a  measure  of  length, 
when  people  camo  to  express  by  it  a  Dieasnre  of 
surfiK'e  it  might  obviously  bo  mted  in  two  ways  : 
either  an  B  piece  of  ground  a  rod  in  btvadth  and 
the  eommon  unit  (a  furlong)  in  length  (wliich 
would  bo  its  nattiral  meaning},  or  aa  the  sqnnrc  of 
iLkIC  Tho  fiirnier  oaiue  to  be  called  a  rood  only, 
the  Utter  a  rod,  pole,  ptrdt,  or  sometiowB  a  rood. 


The  measure  of  Iveodth  (tho  rod  or  porch),  tbooeh 
not  DOOCSBarily  an  aliquot  part  of  thai  of  len^ftht 
was  for  obvious  convenience  brought  into  barmoay 
with  it,  forty  rods  being  equated  to  one  farlong. 

Mb.  Fictoh  contendB  that  the  acrt  was  a  super- 
Kcial  measure  independent  of  the  original  land 
measures,  and  artificially  bix>U|ght  into  oorrespoor 
deuce  with  them,  which  he  evidences  by  the  fact 
ihiit  it  is  not;  the  square  of  any  commen&ur.tbIe 
length.  This  hist  £act;,  I  may  ohMrve,  is  also  the 
case  with  tbe  rood  (used  for  a  quarter  of  an  acre).. 
If  I  am  right  that  the  land  measure  wu  founded  oo 
two  independent  unita  (of  length  and  bre:idlh), 
this  fiict  ia  only  what  we  should  expect.  The 
aniullest  poBsiblu  divi&ion  of  plough  land  would  be 
tt  eiogte  butt  of  one  unit  of  length  by  ono  of 
breadth,  viz.  a  rood.  The  next  larger  one  would 
(natunUIy  enough)  be  one  unit  of  length  by  four 
of  breadth.  It  would  not  be  until  the  wonl  'Tor- 
loDg  "  had  quite  lost  its  original  meaning  (as  a  unit 
of  leugth  and  not  of  breadth)  that  any  one  would 
U3e  such  aa  expression  a«  a  "squmre  furlong,"  for 
there  woidd  never  be  two  (\irrow  lengths  ruouBK 
ut  right  angles  to  one  another. 

As  Mr.  ricri>M  ohMrves,  Ihc  mile  (which  is  ik( 
traveller's  unit  of  length^  wns  accommodated  teti* 
perch  ami  furlong,  the  land   ineriturcr's  units  I7 
making  a  mile  equal  lo  eight  furlongt.     But.  OA- 
ronient  aa  this  aubdlvision  of  a  mile  .tppareutlytk 
the  two   me-isurements    hjive  never    thoroughly 
coideiK:ed.     Arithmetic  hooka   tell  mi  how   luany 
ftirlongs  and  percbea  there  are  in  a  mile,  but  wt 
rarely  near  of  a  furlong  (except  on  tho  milestOMi 
of  the  Shrewsbury  and    Holyhead  coach  roodji 
never  of  a  perch,  aa  a  subdivision  of  a  mile.    AVhea 
wc  wish  to  refer  to  a  measure  of  disUmcc  under  a 
mile,  it  is  of  a  half  or  quarter  of  a  mile,  or  of  fifty 
or  a  hundred  yards,  that  we  speak.  W.  H. 

Mit.  PiCTOtf,  in  his  iutereslinif  cotnmuniatkll 
bearing  ou  thijt  subject,  finds  a  diSiruIty  in  efitoV 
lifihing  a  comiiioa  measure  for  the  virgiUc,  htdt* 
bovate,  and  other  quantitie.o  of  huid  ;  and  he  re- 
mnrk9,  most  juatly,  that  documents  varj*  eo  widely 
as  to  render  it  imptMsible.  He  is  quite  correct  in 
this  remark,  for  at  the  period  of  Lhc  Domesday 
surrey,  and  subsequently,  m«isuremcnta  were  oot 
mndo  by  graduated  liuot  mid  mds,  but  by  a  madl 
more  practical  standard,  \\r..,  theactuni  work  doM 
by  the  plough  or  the  labourer  in  a  given  npnoie  ot 
time,  which  of  course  must  neocAsarily  have  varied 
in  varying  solU.  Thus  it  is,  in  tbe  few  early  re* 
cords  in  which  comparatiTO  calculations  are  madc^ 
we  have  the  carucate  assessed  tn  one  and  tbe  sam* 
record  in  rates  varying  from  I(,M>  to  'iW  nan,  W' 
cording  to  the  locality.  Lnnd  was  measured  by  A

>L-k  in  ootumoo,  are  more  neoriy  aiulogous 
to  tlic  ancient  folc  hind  thitu  the  modern  oommun, 
in  which  the  coaimonera  have  the  right  of  herhnge

BowiBO  TO  TUE  Altar  (O"*  a  ix.  189,  449.)— 
That  bowing  to  the  parson  or  squire  by  old  men  is 
indeed  "  a  modern  rustic  relio  of  the  more  ancient 
custom  of  bowing  to  the  altar"  is,  I  think,  mffl- 
ciently  lndi«itcd  by  iaitanoes  such  as  I  painted 
out  ad  having  occurred  at  Wtnterton,  whcro  old 
men  entere<1  »t  the  prietit'.<i  door  in  the  chancel  and 
turned  their  hiick.i  on  reading  dcnk  and  everybody 
iu  the  church  in  order  to  bow  enBtwaid.  That 
modern  uitbedral  fashions  of  canons  major  and 
minor  hobnobhioti  to  one  imotber  are  "  corrupt 
fiilluwingi  "  of  the  ancient  custom  of  bowing  to  the 
altJir  is  surely  sufficiently  evident  f^m  the  over- 
whelming maw  of  evidence  that  has  been  referred 
to  with  regard  to  bowing  to  the  altar  from  tho 
pcventccnth  to  the  present  century.  The  rationale 
of  the  practice  is  similar  lo  that  of  the  cuRtom  of 
bowing  to  the  empty  throne  in  the  Hoast  of  Lords, 
and  it  has  been  shown  to  have  been  originally 

Kractised  by  every  one,  though  it  naturally  lingered 
tngest  among  tnoso  who  were  bound  by  their 
office  to  set  a  pn)per  example,  muucly,  the  prin- 
ciim!  clergy  of  cathedral  churches,  and  Hinont;  those 
whose  traditional  customs  always  survive  the 
longest,  naiiioly,  the  uneducated  and  the  simple- 
minded.  J-  T.  F. 
Bidiuii  UatQald'e  UsII,  Durhsoi. 

Without  donbt  the  bowing  on  entering  and 
leaving  church  has  a  high  sigoiflcatioo  with  some; 
but  the  nnsses  are  not  familiar  with  B«de,  and  I 
am  more  inc1ine«I  to  think  that  old  books,  such  u 
Charles  Vysc's  UptUitiif  tiook^  hare  had  mom  to 
do  with  their  oducition  than  tho  Ilavnii**  hare 
had.  Bout  ledge  &  Sons  have  printed  a  new  edition

Nearly  forty  years  ago  t  officiated  amongat  a 
simple-minded  people  on  the  borders  of  the  oounliea 
of  Worcester  iind  Hereford,  where  this  pncticewaa 
not  micoiiimon,  but  to  nie,  a  youog  chrgyman  from 
the  neighbourhood  of  London,  it  wits  novel  ;  and 
nuppoHiiij::  myself  to  be;  the  object  of  Ibt  rerert'cce, 
I  remonstrated  with  an  aged  parishioner,  when  i<\ic 
gave  me  to  understand  thut  the  rererence  was 
made  to  the  Aluiinhtyand  not  to  a  fellow  creature. 
Her  decided  iiiiinner  at  the  time  is  vividly  im- 
pressed ou  my  iinnd.  A  neighbour  to  whom  I 
recently  related  the  anecdote  mentioned  that  the 
same  mistake  wna  onoe  made  bv  his  RoyiJ  Hiyb- 
nesA  the  Prince  Consort,  and  that  it  met  with  a 
similar  rebutf.  £.  H.  M.  S. 

At  St.  John's  Coll.,  Oxon,,  the  presii^ent, 
fcUowH,  and  scholars  bow  to  one  aiiother  on  lear- 
in^  chapel.  In  my  time  it  was  said  amongit  the 
underxraduatcB  thai  it  was  a  compromise  etl'ected 
by  tlio  then  preatdent  with  his  conscience ;  he, 
being  of  decidoiily  IJuw  Church  views,  objected  to 
the  bowing  to  the  attjir,  but  not  to  tho«e  on  the 
foundation  ioi/binytoone  anothef.  I  do  not  know 
whether  thiii  was  correct.  When  at  Oxford  I  was 
nlwnv's  under  the  impressioa  that  the  cimons  of 
Christ  Church  used  to  bow  to  each  other  on  leaviny 
the  quire,  und  not  to  the  allur.

*'  Liso  "  (e***  S.  X.  48.)— Many  years  ago,  before 
Bohool  boards  were  Ihoufjht  of,  1  was  n  cuest  of  a 
geotlenian  living  in  a  smidl  hamlet  in  Hampshire, 
nod  waa  requested  hy  him  to  distribute  some  priz« 
to  his  village  Bcholam.  I  remember  that  the  copy 
of   the   successful    competitor  for  the  "writing 

Jirizo"  ron  thus: — "I  lingered  long  in  Longley's 
ing."  Though  tbe  baodwriting  %m  excellent,  I 
could  not  refrain  from  expressing  my  opinioa  that 
it  was  a  pity  that  bora  would  have  to  copy,  as  I 
thought,  nonscoso.  My  host  le^ied,  as  tne  hair- 
dnsser  did  to  Mb.  Ddeb,  dial  Uw  word  Iinj^  was 


a  local  term  for  a  snudl  back  yard  or  garden,  bat 
added  chat  as  the  chief  use  to  which  these  yards 
were  devoted  wjs  the  waaihing  and  drying  of  linen, 
h«  ima^ifiued  the  word  might  be  derived  from  the 
FrsDch  lingcne.  He  also  informed  me  thai  the 
copy  had  |)robflbly  been  »et  by  the  srhooloiasler  as 
a  reminder  to  him  of  a  promise  given  to  eject  the 
tenant  of  the  Ung  in  question,  as  tbe  stat*  ia 
which  it  was  kept  rendered  the  schoolroom,  which 
abutted  on  it,  iutoleiuble  in  wnnn  weather.

The  Rev.  W.  D.  Parish,  in  his  DicL  of  tht 
Siuxti:  Diaiect,  gives,  under  "Su^ex  Surnam^^ 
"Lingham. —  Ling,  a    heath,   and    ham,   an  ^^^M 
cloimie."   Although  he  say-?,  "  The  following  naip^l 
of  families  [of  which  this  ia  one]  now  residing  hi 
the  coimty  are  derived  from  or  connected   with 
Sussex  words  which  will  bo  found  in  this  diction- 
ary," the  word  ling,  doubtless  through  an  over- 
sight, is  not  there  at  all.    But  supposing  it,  a>  1 
infer,  to   belong   to  Sussex  dialect,  it  nuy  bs 
objected  that  a  heath  is  neither  a  small  gnrdn 
nor  a  yard.    Still  the  Sussex  people  in  their  ««- 
tentedness  may  look  on  their  little  gardens  or 
yiirds  through  magni^ng  glasses,  in  the  sonte  W, 
though  Atim  a.  ditlercnt  motive^  as  persvus  VD 
snialT  homes  hut  exulted  ideas  nouietimes  dklttf

I  give  this  last  merely  as  pointing  to  the  probabW 
derivation  of  the  vroid.  Mkowuo.

possible  that  this  may  have  been  the  word 
which  Mk.    !Dl'KK   inquirea,  though  I    hav 
been  able  to  meet  with  any  authority  for  its  Inaag

TnR  TSAD&JtJACT  OF  LANOaAOS  TO  KXPBJWS 
lOBAB  WITH  PkRFBCT  PRECISION  {6^  S.  X.  24,  62, 

1 16.) — The  correspondence  which,  under  the  above 
heading,  Mr.  Hart  wishes  to  evoke  in  the  pages 
of  "  N.  &  Q."  would  obviously  lead  stmiKht  into 
the  regioQ  of  logic  and  ravtaphyBicti,  and  i>uch 
questiona  as  whether  it  is  po«<iiblo  in  think  at  uU 
without  the  aid  of  word,*,  or  whether  tlio  afBrmo- 
tioB  of  a  particular  proposition  does  anything  more 


than  include  a  certain  object  in  a  certain  chto^ 
could  hardly  fail  to  be  opened  ap.  But  as  Bodi 
a  diwiusGion  would  be  almoel  endleas,  and,  to  mb* 
extent,  fruitlesft,  it  appears  to  me  advisable  to 
limit  it  to  the  oonsiderution  of  some  of  the  more 
remarkable  er|uivocA]  terms.  Take,  for  oauiitte, 
the  word  xchourr.  To  one  nian  it  means  Rimpfy  a 
person  who  can  read  and  write.  I  was  exptoiniog 
some  very  simple  accounts  to  a  fanner  the  other 
day,  who  told  mo  he  thought  they  were  all  li^it, 
but  declared  be  was  "  do  scholard."  It  tnean* 
a  scbool-boy  or  schooI-girL  To  the  Oxonian  i& 
means  a  uiau  who  is  veracd  in  the  "  mauner  "  and 
language  rather  than  in  tbe  philosophy  and 
"matter"  of  various  ancient  writers;  whilst  to 
the  ordinary  reader  it  means  gonerally  a,  nmn  of 
letters.  I  am  hero,  of  course,  muting  tlif^  mnit 
patent  tnilftms,  but  I  do  so  to  show  in  the  strongest 
iiosslble  light  that  Mr.  Hart'h  thesis  is  vts  well 
Known  as  it  is  correct.  I  see  I  Lavt*  just  used  the 
word  "patent"  in  the  tense  of  "obvious."  Now 
liail  I  spoken  of  a  patent  reaping  muohiDe,  I 
nhoutd  have  meant  a  "patented,  or  t>voB  * 
"  newly  invented,"  reaping  machine,  and  the  «<iid 
would  mean  quite  the  reverse  of  "obvious."  lb 
examples  of  equivocal  terms  I  have  {{ivf^^t 
luluiittedly  simple.  Nevertheless,  I  thinjHU^I 
examples  luight  bo  collected  which  wonldojl^^^l 
a  more  striking  and  intcrcAting  manner  the  iInpe^ 
fections  of  language.  A  notable  instance  is  tbe 
word  tubmit,  which  in  the  negooiations  preceding 
the  late  Berlin  Congress  caiued  wuiuch  truublato 
diplomatista.  S.  O.  AoDT.

Haviac  no  knowledge  of  bowh,  I  meanwhile 
cordinlly  ngrce  in  Mb.  Mahsh'r  rcnmrks  on 
ii.  1, 1.  1  of  (hfrnhdiHt.  But  there  seem  to  rae 
three  ohjeclioru  to  the  Attempted  explanation  of 
"  raiatrwn  M:lIs  pictnre."  First,  Maria  ii  neTer 
called  M.il,  or  Mistre«g  Mil,  or  Moll,  elsewhere  in 
the  play,  neither  by  Sir  Toby,  nor  by  the  Clown,  nor 
by  any  one  else.  Tbia  familiar  abbreriatire  would 
niniost  Hecm  to  he  stxidtoaBly  uvotded,  nnd  pro- 
btthly  for  n  reanoo  I  shall  oomc  to  presently.  To 
say  that  Mai  innst  be  Maria  h  like  the  mi.it.ike, 
not  yet  exploded,  that  the  Sir  John  Falstjvfl',  the 
plunip  thoiiji^h  withered  Appla-John  of  Uenry  It'., 
u  neceMurily  proved  by  the  D;ime  to  be  the  hiiv> 
toricrd  Sir  John  F;iUtafFof  1  Henry  I'f.,  the  trifle 
that  the  formcrdietl  in  Ibo  bcgintiiDgof  Henry  V.'s 
reijtn  betn^  of  no  serions  accntint.  Secondly,  it 
cannot  be  wiown  that  Maria  ever  hnd  her  portrait 
tnken,  or  thnt  thera  is  the  nhadow  of  a  pronahility 
that,  in  tk^t  nink-obserTing  age,  Olivia  would 
have  h:id  her  "  chanibermnid'a  "— ^ibe  was  not  her 
waiting  Kcntlewonian — her  chambermaid's  ^jortnit 
hao|!inj{  up  and  ;runrdcd  by  n  curtain  in  her  public 
rooms.  Eeaides,  Sir  Andrew  was  only  onco  in 
thetie,  nud  conld  never  hiire  been  in  any  other 
onless  iu  the  kitchen  witli  Sir  Toby.  Thirdly,  if 
thepfissage  h©  looked  into  it  will  sJinw,  1  think, 
that  Mistress  Mill's  pictnre  had  no  curlnin,  though 
all  aDtiijUBnan  reiMlers  know  well  that  it  was  then 
the  custom  to  huii^  a  curtrtin  K'forc  pictures  and 
statuary.  "  Why,'*  says  Sir  Tuhy,  "  have  these 
gifts  a  curtain  before  them  1  [when  exposed]  are 
tbej  likely  to  tike  dttst,  like  Miatreu  Mai's 
[exposed]  picture  ?" 

And  this  give?,  I  take  it,  the  clue  to  the  ooto- 
rioua  and  laughter-causing  jest  to  whiL-h  Shakc- 
^ere  allude*.  A  cnurtcsaii — so  runs  the  con- 
temporary tale,  thon(;h  now  unfortunately  I  forcet 
my  reference — a  courteaan  sat  to  this  and  thnt 
painter ;  but  when  each  portrait  vnn  completed. 
for  Dniikeness  or  some  such  like  escnse  it  was 
nfiued.  ^Miat  could  the  painter  do  i  Decorate 
hii  shop  with  it,  and  ti»e  it  as  an  odrertittement  of 
his  skill.  This,  though  by  such  exposure  it  were 
like  to  take  dttst,  was  exactly  what  the  nrtfut, 
impndetit  hussv  hnd  intended;  it  became  nn  nd- 
Tertisemcnt  of  herself,  and  gratis  I 


The  story  explains  Shakespere,  nod  Shaheapsn 
so  far  explains  the  ston  m  to  tell  us  the  cr^nrTesan't 
name,  one  Mistress  Mai.  If  she  were  ^lol!  Cou 
parse,  we  have  one  most  likely  to  hit  upon  out 
perform  a  trick  so  gulling  and  so  profitable.

"And  either the  devil,  or  throw  bim  odt." 

Dr.  Brinslrt  NicnoLsoK  states  two  objections  tfr 
my  proposed  emendation  of  this  line  (fr"*  S.  a. 
103).  First,  that  the  omission  of  "either"  "a 
worse  than  unnecessary."  Tn  reply,  I  ask  bii 
attention  to  the  fact  th.it  this  is  not  a  cam  of 
omission  but  of  substitution,  the  word  sabstitntsd 
("tether"),  itself  a  SbakspeBrian  word,  difToiag 
from  the  word  whose  |»lace  it  assumes  In  one  lett«f 
only.  Swond,  "  the  impossihilitT  of  scanning;  ihr 
line  as  one  of  five  feet."  Thnt  the  liDe,  as  I  read 
it,  is  a  tome  one  I  admit,  nnd  there  wonld  be  fern 
in  Dr.  NiciioLaos's  objection  were  theno  M 
flimihiriy  hnlting  tines  in  Shakspeare.  Bui  ikm 
are  many  such.  This  is  one  from  //amid  (Ad  i 
30.  2, 1.  181)  every  whit  as  halting:— 

"Kj  fisther  [  methinks  I  see  my  father." 

As  to  the  word  "  tether."  I  was  led  to  adipt  ii 
because  Shakspeare  hna  in  this  poss-ige  rcpiMM^ 
custom  not  only  as  a  devil,  but  also  as  a  mil' 
browsing  beast  making  havoc  of  the  soul  :  "TtaA

rejects  it.     Look  for  a  moment  at  the  context  :  il 
show-s  yon  the  me-ining  that  "delighted"  kiuxI  hsi». 
t*E.indio  so  tores  life  that  he  holds  it  dearer  tlias 
honour,  and  would  buy  it  at  the  price  of  bisBsl«'i 
virtue.     He  argues  with  her  on  the  horror 
terror  of  death  to  both  body  and  soul :  the  ^^ 
pulsing  body  will  herome  a  clod  ;  the  spirit,  t 
joy  and  sJl  deli[jht,  will  hum  or  be  frozen  in 
or  be  blown  about  the  world : —

Ts  it  not  03  plain  ns  it  can  be  that  the  epit 
applied  to  the  spirit  connotes  the  goodly  powcn  < 
the  spirit,  just  as  lliat  njTpHed  to  tne  body  ooi

The  Zeus  of  the  Iliad,  though  in  tbe  habit  of 
UMiog  coarse  and  violent  language  to  his  wlEa, 
scarcely  me^Lna  to  impute  to  her  any  litertl  deain

L&MAK  Family. — In  1645  William  (afterwards 
Sir  William)  Leman  was  M.P.  for  Hertford.  Can 
any  of  your  correapondents  tell  me  who  is  his 
present  lineal  descendant,  and  give  me  the  date  of 
a  claim  made  by  a  mechanic  of  Nottingham,  John 
Leman,  to  the  estates  of  the  above-mentioned  Sir

Chaucer,  "  Legend  of  Good  Wombn," — In

to  the  line, 

"  With  pottea  ful  of  Ijme  they  goon  togedre," 
is  the  following  note :  *'  Probably  quick-lime  to 
aet  lire  to  the  vessel."  The  scene  is  a  sea-fight. 
Is  it  not  more  probable  that  the  lime  was  to  be 
thrown  into  the  eyes  of  the  enemy  ?  It  is  plain 
that  quick-lime  would  never  be  used  to  fire  a  ship. 
The  notes  ore  usually  good,  but  the  edition  fails

not  numbered.  Gwatas.

some  acts  of  bribery,  and  finally  took  his  place  at

(WidvUle).  The  tirst  five  of  ibeao  (luarlerinRs 
Queen  Elizabeth  Widville  inherited  tcom  her

n«at-grand  mother,  Susan,  daughter  of  the  Comte 
aes  tJrsins.) 

The  explanation  of  the  mii^takc  mtut  now  be 
sufficiently  obvious.  It  arose  t'reu  the  fact  Umt 
the  amis  of  the  itoperial  bouse  of  Lutembur:^ 
happen  to  be  identicni  with  those  vf  the  far-away 
pnncea  of  the  house  of  Liisicoan,  who  for  ttiree 
centuries  filled  the  throne  of  Cvpnui,  originally 
jjiven  by  \tn  conqueror,  Richnrd  C<i>Br-(lc-Ltou,  to 
Guy  de  Lu]*ign.iTi,  Kins  of  Jenisulem.  A.i  the 
imperial  bouse  of  LaxcmQitrjJ!  had  not  the  ulighleat 
connexion  with  tho  Luaignans,  nnd  never  laid 
claim  to  dominion  over  Cyprus,  it  did  oot,  and 
could  not,  tmnt>.niiL  snch  a  pretenKJon  either  to 
Queen  Kli/jtbcth  Widville  or  to  ber  prtut-nnind-

If  Mr.  Pickfoud  will  refer  to  a  book  entitled 
The  Sham  Squire;  or,  the  Informer  of  '98,  p.  77, 
third  edition,  1866,  he  will  find  the  epigram  on 
Lord  Clonearr;  as  follows,  and  not  as  he  quotes  it, 
anUf  p.  13!)  :— 

"  Cloncurry,  Cloncurry ! 

Why  in  such  a  hurry 

To  tniigh  Ht  the  comical  squire  t 

For  thoufjh  he 's  toss'd  high, 

Yet  ynu  cxnnot  deny 

That  blankets  have  toss'd  yourself  higher." 

And  further,  he  will  find  that  the  Lord  Cloncurry 
referred  to  (who  was  the  first  of  that  title)  did 
not,  BtricMy  speaking,  "speculate  successfully  in 
blankets,"  but  was  the  son  of  an  opulent  woollen 
merchant  of  High  Street,  Dublin ;  hence  the  refer- 
ence to  "  blankets  "  in  the  epigram  in  question.

Mr.  Mallock's  "Lucretius"  (5">  S.  x.  179.) 
— In  the  above  notice  of  Lucreliut  ("Ancient 
Classics  ")  the  remark  occurs  that  Mr.  Mallock  has 
innovated  on  the  custom  of  his  predecessors  by 
employing  the  ottava  riina  for  his  versions.  The 
diffusiveness,  too,  of  the  stanza  as  a  necessity  of  its 
conatructioa  is  noted.  But  no  notice  is  taken  of 
a  version  of  a  passj^te  in  Lucretius  (bk.  iv.  IL  877- 
593)  cited  by  Sir  Egerton  Brydges  {Topographer, 
i.  103)  in  a  review  of  White's  SeUtome,  letter  xiviiL 
It  appeared  first  of  all  in  Sormeti  and  other  Poems, 
printed  for  Wilkie,  1765,  and  may  have  suggested 
to  Mr.  Mallock,  if  not  the  exact  composition  of  Ids 
rhymes  in  fonn^  yet  the  msjioer  and  tone  of  the 


translation.    The  psawge  in  Lucretius  begina  with 

the  words 

" per  loea  sola," 

and  ends  with 

"  Fistula  sylTeetrem  ne  eesiet  funJere  mnsam." 

"  Wandering  amid  deep  woods  and  mountaini  dark 
Wildered  by  night,  my  comradei  lost  to  ^uide. 
Oft  thro'  the  void  I  raised  mj  voice  ;  and  hark  ! 
The  rocks  with  twenty  mimic  tones  replied. 
Within  those  sacred  haunts,  'tis  said,  ubide 
Fauns,  nymphs,  and  eatyrs,  who  delight  to  mark 
And  mock  each  lonely  sound :  but  ere  the  lack 
Wakes  her  shrill  note  to  secret  cells  they  glide. 
Night- wandering  noises,  revelry,  and  joke 
Disturb  the  air,^ti8  said  by  ruatics  round. 
Who  start  to  hear  its  solemn  silence  broke. 
And  warbling  strings  and  plaintive  piprs  resound : 
And  oft  they  hoar,  when  Pan  his  reed  hath  woke. 
Hills,  vales,  and  woods,  and  glens,  the  harmony  re- 
bound." 

The  version  of  Mr.  Mallock  will  be  found  at 
page  122.  It  commences  with  line  67G  in  the 
original : — 

"  Qus  bene  cum  videas,  rationcm  rcddere  po»U 
Tute  tibi  atque  aliis,  quo  pacto  per  loca  aol^" 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  "  sonnet  "  is  an  imifa* 
tion  or  paraphrase  rather  than  a  strict  translation 
and  that  the  voice  of  the  krk  is  nn  import«tM% 
something  after  the  fashion  of  the  time. 

The  reader  will  not  fail  to  remark  how  stmH^ 
fully  both  the  sonneteer  and  iSIr.  Mullock  Wn 
escaped  that  verse-jingle  of  Basby,  son  of  Dorwift 
the  Elder,  which  drew  down  on  the  former  thi 
mimickry  of  the  Smiths  in  their  Rejtctfd  Addreim, 
as  the  mannerisms  of  Father  Dancin  had  woke  op 
in  an  earlier  day  the  mocking  music  of  Canning 
and  Hookham  Frcre  In  the  pages  of  the  oldtf 
Anti-Jaeobin.  W.  J.  B. 

The  "Waxworks  is  Westminster  Ahbet  (I^ 
S.  X.  106.) — At  the  above  reference  a  correspondent 
who  uses  the  letter  O.  as  his  deaigoation  mentioni 
a  notice  in  the  North  JUriton  of  1703  of  tin 
"  waxen  image  of  the  Duke  of  Buckingham,"  aal 
adds  that,  from  this  notice,  "  it  is  evident  that  tlol 
object  stood  beside  the  coronation  chair  in  tin 
Confessor's  ChapeL"  Probably  he  has  met  witk 
the  very  interesting  note  on  these  waxworks 
(which  I  was  permitted  to  visit  a  few  years  ago) 
in  the  MemoriaU  of  Westmiiuter  Abbey  (thiid 
edition,  pp.  374-379),  where  Dean  Stanley  states 
that  the  effigy  of  the  Duke  of  Buckingham,  whidi 
is  "  the  last  genuine  *  effigy,' "  "  long  lay  in  tha 
Confessor's  C'hapel";  and  cites,  as  his  nuthorily,

MONASTERT  :  CoKVRNT  (S**  S.  jx.  508.)— The 
efyinolopy  of  these  words  declares  of  itself  the 
ditfprence  of  their  meaning.  Montuttnj,  frum 
ftova\6^  {jioi-o*==8ingle,  Bolitary),  means  of  course 
the  abodo  of  one  person  only — a  cell.  Convent, 
from  the  Lntin  conventvr,  compounded  of  co»^ 
together,  iiud  venirc~io  oome,  signifies,  on  the 
oontmry.  a  cf>miDg  together  of  people,  an  assembly, 
and  BO  on,  like  ucicna,  to  the  place  in  which  the 
assembly  is  held.  Ueucc  laidonts  {De  Off.  Ecd., 
lib.  ii.  cap.  l'»)  says  :  "  Iiiter  ca-nobium  [idenliciiJ

CkmnaoDs,  nuod  mooiisteriiim  posMt  etisni  nnius

between  nimiastertf  ard  convent :  the  former  may 
be  so  colled  as  the  abodo  of  one  monk  only,  the 
latter  oa  the  abode  of  many.  So  that,  strictly 
Fpcnklng,  in  crcrv  convent  there  may  be  as  many 
monasteries  as  lbor«  arc  monks,  each  monk,  of 
ooiirse,  having  a  separate  cell.  This  distinction 
has,  however,  long  become  obsolete,  and  the  words 
are  need  now  as  perfectly  synonymous.  Yet  it 
must  be  admitted  Ihnt  by  monasttry  we  QBUidly 
andcmtand  an  establishment  for  monks,  nnd  by 
convtHt  one  for  nuns.  Kdmoni>  Tbw,  &LA.

correspondent  reminds  him  that  xait  is  a  provin-

created  a  difficulty  for  himself.  Evelyn  was  speak- 
ing of  a  portrait  of  Samuel  Butler,  and  calls  him 
Sudibras.  If  he  looks  to  the  edition  of  Hudibriu 
published  by  Bohn  in  1859,  he  will  find  a  foot-note 
at  p.  vii  of  the  preface  quoting  Evelyn's  letter  to 
Pepys  of  1689,  and  the  name  is  printed  Hudtbras 
for  Butler  there  and  elsewhere.  So  a  picture  of

and  which  occur  in  F.  Theiner's  Vetera  Monu- 
menta  Hihcmomm  d  Scotorum  (Roratu,  1864, 
No.  488,  pp.  248,  240),  can  he  identified  to  a 
certain  extent.  "  Kilumchcrmat  in  Cnapedalo" 
is  evidently  the  iiarlsh  church  of  St.  Charmaig,  in 
(North)  Knapdale,  Arjiyleahire,  which  belonged  to 
the  monks  of  the  Benedictine  monastery  of  Kil- 
winning, in  Ayrshire,  who  had  obtained  the  right 
of  patronage  to  it  from  Walter  Stewart,  Earl  of 
Menteth  (1258-1294).  The  chapels  of  "  St.  Marie 
in  Cnapedalo  "  and  of  "  St.  Michael  in  Inwerlaxo" 
(not  '*  InrerLixo,"  to  quote  exactly  the  spelling  of 
the  scribe)  were  in  the  same  parish,  and  the  latter 
place  appeiirs  to  be  Inverlussay,  where  there  was 
once  a  chapel,  or  rather  at  Drimnacrcige,  near  it.

tian  names  we  now  meet  with  in  ascribing  tham 
to  the  emigrants  adopting  the  name  of  the  veoel 
for  any  child  who  chanced  to  be  bom  en  nwte. 
I  knew  a  yoimg  gentleman  very  well  who  lejoioed 
in  the  heathen  name  of  Astyanax.  His  father 
commanded  the  good  ship  Andromache,  on  board 
which  he  was  bom,  and  so,  not  inappropiiatelj, 
became  Astyanax,  the  son  of  Andromache.

"The  Land  or  the  Ocban"  (5*"  S.  x.  107.)— 
Does  Hahdford  mean  the  Land  in  the  Octant 
If  so,  the  words  are  by  Thomas  Dibdin  and  the 
music  by  T,  Attwood.  Probably  your  correspon- 
dent can  DOW  find  it  with  ease  ;  but,  if  not,  I  can 
send  him  the  melody  and  the  words.  It  is  u 
stupid,  slovenly,  and  ill  written  as  most  of  Dibdin's 
songs ;  but  for  all  that,  it  has  what  few  Englisli 
songs  have  now,  even  when  well  written— the  right 
ring  in  the  national  spirit  displiiyed  in  it.  llis 
melody  ends  on  the  third  instead  of  the  octaT4 
which  is  not  a  good  sign  for  the  music.

Johnson,  who  founded  the  above  school  in  ISM* 
was  Archdeacon  of  Leicester  and  Rector  of  Noth 
Luffenham  (co.  Rutland).  There  is  in  the  cbaaed 
of  the  parish  church,  St.  John  Baptist  North 
Luffenham,  a  brass  plate  bearing  the  following  in- 
scription (I  give  it  only  in  part,  the  whole  mold 
be  too  long) : — 

"  Robart  Johnson,  bachelor  of  Divinitie,  a  painfidl

Archdeacon  Johnson  founded  L^ppingham  School 
and  also  Oakham  School  about  the  year  1584.  Hm 
letters  patent  were  granted  by  Queen  Elizabeth  in 
the  twenty-ninth  year  of  her  reign.  ArchdeMOB 
Johnson  had  begged  from  the  queen  some  con- 
cealed Church  lands,  and  from  the  produce  of  these, 
together  with  benefactions  and  liheral  gifts  fnxs 
his  own  purse,  he  founded  the  two  schools.

CoBilAV  liRKw-BR's  explanation  of  tbe  "  piDs"  Is 
qoite  sntisfactory.  Their  iifie  na  a  stiiull  foe,  paid 
under  tbe  circnnutances  noted,  points  to  a  period 
when  pins  bad  a  more  appreciable  value  thim  at 
present,  of  which  we  have  un  iHustnttion  ia  tbe 
lofal  term  "  pln-iuoney  "  for  the  provision  secured 
t^  a  married  woman  for  her  iiersonal  expenditure. 
An  to  his  query  whiOtber  a  funeral  panaajce  gives  a 
pnblit^  right  of  way  by  law  or  c«»toui,  it  is  no 
doubt  a  widespread  papular  error,  hut  one  eoaily 
to  be  accounted  for.  In  provinp  public  nser  of  a 
way,  it  ia  Hcldooi  possibte  to  uddnu  evidence  of 
acta  of  luier,  in  open  nraertion  of  a  right,  in  the 
prcftenco  of  tho  owner  of  the  land ;  and  evidence  of 
solitary  acts  of  imor  is  met  by  the  objection  that 
they  were  ants  of  trespiwa  unknown  to  the  owner, 
or  that  there  wan  an  implied  permission  as  an  act 
of  fjivour.  With  the  number  of  occaaiona  on 
which,  and  tbe  number  of  persons  by  whom,  the 
way  has  been  used  without  any  interference  by  the 
owner,  tho  probability  is  increased  thntsiicb  public 
use  was  known  and  Hubmitled  to  by  him.  The 
IJiifisinjt  of  a  public  prow-ssion,  of  which  a  funeral 
would  he  a  oonspicaouit  infttance,  would  b«  an  act 
of  notoriety  capable  of  proof  by  a  number  of  wit- 
nesses, iind  would  therefore  bo  an  important  fact 
in  proof  of  public  user.  Persona  far  above  tbe 
vulgar,  i^clog  tbe  stress  laid  on  snch  a  fact  in  n 
trial  at  law,  might  be  exenoed  for  some  confusion 
of  ideas  between  a  right  of  way  cBtablishcd  by  evi- 
dence of  a  fiinend  procession  and  a  right  created 
by  tho  fnneral  proccs.tion  it«olf.  A  notion  so 
originating  would  tend  to  iIjs  own  confirmiition, 
for,  like  tho  tenant  farmer  mentioned  in  Dr. 
CouiLui  Bkeweh's  note,  even  a  lawyer  might 
welt  hesitate  under  similar  clrcunistimces  to  allow 
u  funeriJ  procesaiun  to  para  over  his  ground,  know- 
ing the  u«e  which  would  be  made  of  tbe  fact  in 
euconraging  a  popular  belief  in  a  public  right,  and 
apprehending  that  as  a  matter  of  legal  evidence 
the  fact  might  be  remembered  and  used  against 
him,  when  unable  to  prove  tbe  circnnislunees  of  bis 
l^eraiisaion  having  been  askeil  for  and  given.  Oo 
the  other  band,  the  rofuaal  itself,  by  Iwing  attri- 
buted lo  the  motive  of  preventing  the  creation  of 
a  public  way,  woatd  enconrage  the  vulgar  error.

of  it  thereforfi  woald  be  Mimewhut  iiniK'rfecl  and

tbi\t  the  veins  and  aitcries  carried  blood  to  all 
parts  of  Uie  body  to  feed  thorn ;  but  I  cannot  <|uite

though  they  knew  notliinc  of  the  true  syBlem  of

this  copy  of  a  beautiful  object.  On  tbe  contrary, 
it  in  the  sham  Gothic  church  below  that  is  d»* 
pleasing.  But  it  is  also  interesting  as  showiog 
now  utterly  incapnbte  the  architects  of  that  day 
were  of  producing  any  original  work  that  sboolu 
hanuonixe  witli  the  old.  And  iho  story  of  ih* 
architect's  fate,  which  I  wa«  careful  to  pve  m 
a  legend  only,  is  interesting  ton,  whether  true  ei 
not;  for  it  tutows  the  depth  of  the  archit«ctttnl 
ignor.-uice  which  then  pre^-niled  that  any  maa  (I 
did  not  say  any  »ant  man)  should  be  thotigM 
capable  of  supposing  that  a  copy  of  a  tuwer  at

These  extnvcts  are  taJtoo  from  a  Wtk  pnblished 
in  the  United  Stfttfs,  ftnd  nont  over  hpre  to  snper- 
Hcdc  that  ivhioh  in  otitward  form  nnd  title  it 
rewmlilM.  At  the  Ftame  time  it  is  well  known  in 
the  United  State*  that  Beriha:  an  Hiiioriml  TnU 
ms  not  two  months  published  in  Dublin  before 
it  wu  pirated  by  Bomitn  Catholic  publishcni  (not 
Sadlier  &  Co.)*  and  its  circulation  in  America 
boosted  of. 

Here  is  tho  condition  of  An  Irish  Bomnn  Gnlholic 
author.  What  he  writu  is  opcnljr  pimted  abroad, 
and  at  home  he  is  treated  in  the  manner  I  hare 
dMcribcd  by  Sltamroek  and  Ltifure  Bout, 

Nothing,  I  beliere,  con  well  be  more  notorious 
than  tbo  Cict  that,  whether  in  poetry  or  in  prose, 
in  history,  romaace,  novel,  tale,  or  essay  writing,  no 

StDtlemao  can  "  make  out  a  living  *  if  his  litenry 
boan  are  exclusively  cOQ(in>Ml  to  Ihe  narrow 
limits  and  arid  soil  of  Roman  Catholic  litomture. 
To  be  known  specially  as  a  Roman  Catholic  author 
is  to  be  known  to  a  disadvantage ;  it  i.i  a  dis- 
ability ;  it  is  as  bad  ns  bearinic;  a  Jew's  bodge  in 
the  Kliddle  Ages ;  it  is  to  inanre  exclusion  from 
reviews^  magnzioe?,  periodical  light  literature,  nnd 
it  is  to  expose  oneself  to  diacourtesy  from  a 
bigoted,  ill-munacred  bookseller. 

Let  me  refer  to  this  book  Berih/t  ns  an  exem- 
plification of  the  position  of  a  Rori.in  Catholic 
author.  It  has  passed  through  three  editions  ;  it 
has  been  translated  into  French  and  German  ;  it 
hna  been  noticed  by  n  correspondent  (not  known 
by  me)  in  "  N.  &  Q."  in  terms  so  eulogistic  I 
refirain  from  copving  them,  but  of  which  I  aball 
ever  hcAr  a  grotoful  remerabninee.t  Every  copy 
of  ic  has  been  sold  ;  its  publislicr  is  deail,  aod  T 
have  never  conferred  with  English  or  Irinh  (T  beliove 
there  is  oo  Scotch)  Roman  CuLholic  pablisber  as 
to  the  issue  of  a  new  edition. 

Fielding,  in  his  essay,  "showing  whnt  is  to  be 
deemed  plagiarism,"  maintains  that  it  is  per- 
missible for  a  modem  author  to  take,  even  without 
acknowledgment,  piissiiges  from  ancient  writers, 
hecaoae  the  latter  may  bo  regarded  as  "  the  rich 
sqatnt  *  who  ore  owners  of  the  whole  territory  of 
Fanuuiu :  hut  for  nioderna  to  take  the  same 
liberty  with  their  contemporaries  is  like  "the 
mob,"  or  great  body  of  porishioncm,  robbing  each 
other.  "To  steal,"  he  says,  "from  one  another  is 
indeed  highly  criminal  and  indecent ;  for  thi.t  may 
be  itrictly  ityled  de&undiog  the  Poor  (sometimes 
periu^  tuoee  who  are  poorer  than  onr>elTes)or,  to

set  it  nnder  the  moat  opprobrious  eolouts,  robbiofp 
the  Spittal." 

In  the  case  of  Roman  Catholic  authon  the  crime 
is  nggravatod,  for  they  *re  not  as  "  the  poor  of  the 
parum";  they  are  "without  a  aottlement";  they 
are  detested  as  iotruflire  aqtiattcrs  ;  and  for  them 
to  take  from  each  other,  or  for  any  one  else 
plagiarize  what  they  have  written,  is  for  a  Ei 

steal  from  a  gipsy,  or  for  a  pauper  to  spoliai

miserable,  and  more  contemptible  than  htnuelt

ask  leave  tc  write  a  note  relating  to  (I)  tlip  sources 
of  informatioD ;  (2)  the  ^'enpt:al  valoe  of  Geld 
names  ;  (3)  tbe  raJae  I  speciiilty  attach  to  them  ; 
(4)  the  nuide  of  collection.  I  writ«  as  tersely  as 
poeuble. 

1.  Tbe  sources  of  information  Beam  to  bo  (a) 
old  records  and  local  biitoriea  :  {h)  local  tradition  ; 
(f)  auction  «Je  advertisements  in  local  piipers  ;  (d) 
tithe  and  survey  ma{w.  I  cun  nork  at  the  first 
source  In  Tendon  with  the  A««ietunoe  of  a  few 
references  to  out-of-the-way  books,  MUch  as  Crni- 
BKXT  Beds  bos  kindly  given  roe,  and  the  maps 
attached  to  Kobinson's  Hittory  of  TotltnhaTn,  to 
which  Mil  Sollt  referrcl  me.  For  the  other 
sources  I  need  the  help  of  "JT.  &  Q"  Mr. 
KETdiLBTaud  St.  SwiTniN  sent  uio  4onie  cut- 
tings of  auction  advertisements,  which  <inito 
illnstr.-uc  the  value  of  this  source  of  information, 
spoken  to  bvTREaRAOLEHt  p.  41.7,  as  K>Ten  above. 
As  to  the  tithe  books  of  reference,  they  are  de- 
posited at  the  pusonage  of  the  parish,  nod  I  look 
fur  RouiQ  ss.it.'itance  here  from  the  reverend  geoUc- 
men  who  ouctribut*  to  our  pages  (if  I  iriay  no  say, 
Mr.  Editor),  Both  Mr.  Bw-vt  and  Mr.  LiTn.K 
have  given  me  li<tts  from  old  ni:tpB,  and  both 
f^ntlemen  .lUude  to  tbe  help  which  surveyors 
mi((bt  fpve  to  local  antiquaries  with  but  little 
trouble  to  ihemaelves.  But  the  Ordnance  Survey 
are  the  greatettt  sinners  here. 

2.  Tlio  tiencrol  value  of  field  names  has  been  so 
amply  acknowledged  that  porhtiiM  it  niny  be 
deemed  eup^rltuons  to  speak  of  it  now.  Mr. 
Morrbll  at  p.  479,  as  above,  gives  the  outline. 
But  I  wauld  beg  leave  to  draw  attention  to  Taylor's 
Wordi  and  Placet,  Kemble's  Saxon*  in  England, 
appendix  to  voL  I  on  the  mark,  ns  illustrulioas  of 
trie  historical  value  of  topographical  philology. 
Every  town  name  of  Eogtaau  has  a  history,  and 
i\e\d  names  will  fill  somt*  inportant  blanks  in  the 
(general  subject  of  Kngliah  topography  which  town 
namea  fail  to  do.  Of  course  all  localities  have  not 
Iiod  an  e<|Uiilly  important  growtli.  Kunnimede,  tbe 
meadow  of  tbe  iCunea,  is  as  famous  with  us  as  with 
the  Anglo-Saxons,  whoee  field  of  council  it  was. 
For  other  famous  uicetiDg- places,  the  knowledge  of 
which  is  preserved  in  onr  sown  names,  sh  Timor's 
n^ortU  aiui  riaea,  pp.  308,  300  ;  PalgniTe's  St%q, 
Com.,  i.  \Ak);  ii.  clviil  But  bow  small  this  list  is 
to  what  it  ought  to  be  !  Field  names  I  Uiink  will 
help  us,  and  let  jiip  refer  Mr.  ^foRRRLt^  un  hU 
"  Round  Iliil  Field"  at  Brougbtoii.  to  Palgrave, 
Eng.  Com.t  i.  140.  to  consider  if  this  is  not  one 
instance  to  begin  with. 

3.  Of  coiirve  we  all  have  our  special  stadtes, 
and  I  may  at  once  stat«  that  my  first  object  in 
asking  for  field  names  was  not  fcr  the  general 
topo^ophioil  subject,  hot  for  a  pcitticuUr  branch

ri^bc  and  wrong  before  human  laws.  This  led  on 
the  party  to  Sir  Isaac  JffewIon'B  views  on  prophwy, 


and  then  to  a  lone  .iririinient  n>K>nt  reason  aad 
authority,  Butler.  Hartley,  and  the  others  being 
for  reason,  and  Byrom,  who  seems  to  have  en- 
grossed most  of  the  convemation,  beiotr  for 
authority.  *'The  Dr.  talked  with  much  mildness 
and  myself  with  too  much  imiiel^osity."  They 
thus  reasoned  for  about  two  hount,  nod  on  BiiUer'«

was  a  little  too  little  vigorous,  which  they  sveuwd

Fowey  aboat  a  handnd  yean  ago,  the  paraonm 
bearing  it  being  in  bambic  ctrciimstanciu.  As 
this  is  the  only  trace  of  the  fiimily  nnme  remnining 
in  CorawaU  or  Devonshire,  counties  with  which  it 
was  so  iuLimately  connected  in  local  history,  the 
nutter  may  bo  of  interest.  There  would,  in  fact, 
seem  to  he  nome  mystery  enveloping  the  extinction 
of  the  name,  which  is  at  tbe  present  moment  borne 
fry  right  of  birth  by  very  few  persons,  although 
9omo  six  creations  of  the  title  have  been  made  to 
keep  it  in  tbe  peemge.  Gilbert  is  believed  to  hare 
entcrtitined  an  opinion  tlial  the  family  still  existed, 
in  thf  ditfct  liivt,  in  Cornwall  or  Dovou.ihire,  and 
had  sunk  out  of  sight  by  reason  of  poverty,  when 
the  never  very  Houriahing  condition  of  the  Gran- 
rilles  became  nntenable.  The  Carterets,  Thynnes, 
and  Lerison-Gowera  now  jointly  and  serenlly 
represent  the  old  family,  but  only  indirectly,  and 
solely  in  the  line  which  Sir  Bevillo  Granville  en- 
nobled. There  were  maor  known  members  of  tbe 
stock  before  the  time  of  that  worthy. 

The  genealogical  record  piibliahed  by  Lady 
Llaoorer  is  manifestly  untrustworthy,  so  far  as  the 
earHer  geneimtioos  are  concerned,  and  at  best  it 
constitutes  only  a  sketch  of  the  particular  outline 
of  iamily  history  which  is  cherished  in  the  tneiaoir.

— The  author  nf  this  satire  was  the  elder  of  the 
two  sons  of  Mr.  Cox,  the  well-known  £«qaire 
Bedel.  The  yotuiKer,  who  is  »tiU  ulive,  was  n 
Trinity  man,  and  one  of  the  crew  of  "seven  oars* 
who  pulled  and  won  at  Eouloy.  The  elder  brother 
was  edncated  at  Winchester  and  New  OoUe^. 
His  pxpididon  is  a  thing  I  never  heard  of  before. 
He  died  very  nnexpectedly  in  the  prime  of  life, 
from  imprudently  exposing  himself  nt  on  open 
window  when  rccovcnnfi  from  emallpox  or  a  bad 
fever,  and,  I  think,  in  college.  At  Winchester  he 
wrote  a  poem  of  good  promise  in  answer  to 
Cowper's  TyTonitium.  The  entire  of  1S34  is  very 
source.  I  have  the  first  three  parts,  and  I  know 
onefrieod  (J.  R.  B.)  who  Iiaj*  it  entire.  There  wa« 
Ij^eat  cleveroes-H  in  it,  but  there  were  also  great 
faiilta ;  one  is  an  indUciiminate  lashiof;  of  I>ons, 
with  the  exception  of  Dr.  Machridc  and  Dr. 
iMubcney,  men  whom  not  even  the  satirist  could 
mitiriie.  In  tlie  more  serioun  vein  of  satire,  on 
the  Oxford  teaching;.  Cox  may  be  thonfiht  to  have 
been  in  advance  of  his  fiKe.  Bnt  he  hnd  been  fore- 
Kfalled  by  the  1*ev.  Janiea  Shergnld  Boone,  M.A. 
of  Ch.  (?h.,  who  as  early  as  181S  pnxluced  the 
satire  The  (hfard  Spt/,  urging  the  too  great  fond- 
ness for  Aristotle  and  Plato,  and  the  necessity 
for  the  introduction  of  modern  history,  physical 
Brience,  and  modem  languages  tuto  the  nniversitj 
oiirriculum.  This  satire  is  now  out  of  print,  hut  it 
wont  into  a,  third  edition,  and  is  to  be  picked  up 
at  times.  Mr.  Boone  at  the  Duke  of  WcUtngton'e 
installation  in  1&34  wrote  u  very  different  poem, 
however,  from  Mr.  Cox's,  namely,  Iho  Wtleomt  t^ 
Itif.  He  obtained  the  Newdigate  prize  in  1817 
for  his  poem  on  the  Famese  tiercnles.  His  later 
life  was  spent  as  incnmbent  of  St  Jobc*% 
Poddington.  GiJiBES  KiaADO.

Tfh.itson  axd  Olivbb  Cbomwkll  (5'*  8.  x.

fympalhize,  having  lone  regnnled  that  otherwise 
admirable  poem  the  Tiuking  Cfak  as  marred  by  the 
reference  to  the  great  Protector,  who,  though  c«- 
to/ifjy  subject  to  hypochondriasiB,  lui  t'arlyle  tells  us, 
inu  aat  a  gloomy  ohd,  aad  whose  coAoexion  with 


brewing  remains  donbtftil.  The  same  poem  is  aJao 
dintigured  by  the  closing  lines,  with  their  allusion

Slako  Phraseb  (&^  S.  ix.  2G3,  393 ;   x.  I7r 
138,  158.)— Mr.  Uall  hna  quite  mistaken j^r 
meaning.    I  was  anxiotis  to  know  whcthar 
WM  a  better  derivation  for  jvy  ilmn   whnt^ 
suggested  ittetf  to  me,  namely,  from  the 
term ^U{^— yu^'int.    Mb.  IIali.  onaweninty 
derivation  with  an  Irish  one,  "  The  wonl   ii  ia 
common  use  in  Dublin."    It  hoi  been  in  co 
use  everywhere  and  for  many  years.     I  (aks 
have  been  a  familiar  thiefs  term  when 
Ainswortb  wrote  "  Nix  my  dolly,  pals." 
soDg  mode  the  term  "  stone  jug  "  familiar 
one.     And  the  box  in  the  ^  intone  jug  "  is 
a  cell,  equivalent  to  tronk  or  (niHJfc— a  wwrf 
which  I   had  never  any  doubt  or  difficiilEy,  hot 
which  by  some  error  had  been  printed  tTi>at,iaa 
as  in  my  note  "Izeli  port"  has  been  printed  fiw 
'*Izeli  post,"  the  fault  of  my  writing  doubtl«i. 
Still  the  question  iSf  Wliot  better  derirntion  this

By  the  aid  of  M.  Lictr^'s  dictionary  (1877)  I 
offer  Ma.  T&W  some  lolutioDs  of  tbe  vexed  qoeetion 
as  to  tbe  etytiiology  of  the  name  Hu^ienot :  1.  Tbe 
Prolesttinla  were  viitttcd  by  n  ghusl  whom  tbey 
Dftuied  King  Htigo ;  2.  Their  preacher  begun  hia 
nenoon  wit^  "  Uiic  noe  Tenimua,  hue  oos";  3. 
They  were  called  Eidjfenoaaen,  or  the  confederates. 
Al.  Littrc  shows  that  Hu}jugdoC  ns  :i  fumnuic  and 
dinunutirc  of  Eur^  was  in  use  in  Liniou&in  eo 
early  as  I3B7.  To  iheeo  explanations  I  may  add, 
from  other  sources,  d.  The  rrotestants  met  at

It  may  be  safely  said  that  a  century  elapsed  ho- 
tween  the  writing  of  the  poem  and  the  dote  of  the 
earliest  MS.  now  to  be  found,  during  which,  as 
Weber  says,  "it  is  to  lie  feared  that  the  text 
poased  throueb  several  iuiprovliit;  hands."  I  am 
mippy  to  think  that  the  AfS.  now  before  me  it 
A  leR.1  "improved"  copy  than  the  one  which, 
though  following'  it,  Weber  admits  ia  not  the  t-ext 
of  the  original.  In  line  384  Weber  has  _*'  louring 
low  upon  nia  kneo  "  ;  my  MS.  bus  "  louttng,"  and 
is  certainly  right  (compure  Fcwn/  Qiuen^  "He  fikir 
the  knight  saluted,  louting  low").  In  v.  260 
Weber  baa  "  pleasures  bmvc,"  where  the  MS. 
reads  "  pleastircs  prnve,"  and  by  the  context  is 
right.  I  flhould  like  to  hare  the  opinion  of  your 
readers  upon  line  20(1,  where  Wuber  calls  tfa«  Lyon 
King  "De-lfl-mrmnt"  (Liimbe.  "  DalJamount"), 
but  the  MS.  "l>il!pimerinL"  Weber  admits  in  a 
note  that  Sir  Diuid  Lindsay  o/Vtf-  Mwmt  was  not 
Lyon  King  until  1&31-I.  Query,  was  there  ever  a 
Lyou  King  "  DiIlameriat"T  In  line  511  of 
Weher  we  have  "SL  Triman  of  (Juhytehom"; 
in  LHmbft,  Tenie  131,  "  St.  Trtmon  " ;  in  my  MS., 
"St.  FriemiuL"  As  no  saint  of  any  of  thew 
mimes  appears  in  the  Scottish  calendar,  Weber 
susgeits  uut  moat  likely  the  proper  rcAding  ia 
"  KjDgBii,"  the  Gaelic  nome  of  St.  Nlnian.  It  baa 
been  suggested  to  me  by  Dr.  Grub,  tho  learned 
biBtorian  of  tbo  Church  of  Scotland,  that  St. 
Trumwinc  of  Abercorn,  wrongly  sujipoBed  by  the 
pfot  to  have  beJonged  to  Whiteliorn,  or  Candida 
Tfuia,  is  the  saint  intended.  For  Fitx^leigb 
(Weber,  S30)  my  MS.  has  tbo  colloquial  render 
ing  "  Fiiley." 

I  have  not  ln'on  able  to  compare  this  MS.  with 
the  edition  of  Benson,  but  as  the  editor  admits 
that  it  ift  iiuprrectf  notliing  is  lost  by  want  of 
cnmpariRon.  I  have,  however,  before  me  the  rer- 
sion  which  "did  not  come  nndt>r  the  inspection" 
of  Weber,  vi/..  that  printed  liy  Thomna  Gcut,  of 
York,  "  taken  from  nn  antieut  MS.  transcribed  by 
Mr.  Ricbnnl  Guy,  late  schoolmaster  ia  lQj;[leton, 
Yorks,"  who  i-i  celebrated  by  Soulhcy  in  7^ 
Doeityr.  It  is  to  bo  rct;retted  that  poor  Guy'a 
ambition  led  him  to  make  interpotutiotts  by  his 
own  biind,  At  well  as  to  modernue  all  obsolete 
words.  Lanihe'a  cttpiicities  n-s  an  editor  have  been 
sufficiently  ridicuk-d  by  Wi>ber,  Ho  seems  to 
have  looked  tipaa  Guy  (who  lived  about  the 
middle  of  liu«t  centnry)  as  the  original  poet  of 
ElimbeCh's  reign,  and  made  sorry  work  of  his 
edition  by  modernizing  it  still  more.  Ue  follows 
Guy  in  rendering  '*  tillsmen  tough  "  of  my  MS.  as

Botrtain  etymology,  bnt  perhaps  from  tlum. 


tho  Dutch  for  stupid."  Johnson  never  looked 
into  the  Hritinh  roots  of  the  Engliab  Ungu^c, 
which  ho  wholly  ignored,  or  be  would  have  foond 
in  the  Gaelic  a<ma»,  bad  luck,  or,  in  contempt,  a 
poor  ignorant  creature.  The  Lowland  Scotch, 
borrowln;*  fnim  the  Gaelic,  has  donaie,  unfortunate, 
ob&linut«,  Biupid;  wbonco  dunce,  a  poor  unfortn- 
nate  creature,  incapable  of  instruction. 

The  seoomi  word  is  "clerk" — very  often  pro- 
nounced dark — &om  the  latin  eUricus,  one  of  the 
prierthood,  and  in  the  case  of  tho  clei^  often 
abbreviated  to  eUrie.  When  the  complimentary 
epithet  of  **  Beau-clerc "  woa  bestowed  upon 
Henry  I.  it  si^^niRed  thnt  ho  wa.9  a  Icarne^l  man,  aa 
learned  lu  u  cUricuf,  which  few  kint^a  of  his  time 
were,  and  not  that  he  could  write  and  keep 
accounts  like  x  clerk  of  the  present  day.  The 
origin  of  the  Latin  eUrieua  lies  in  the  CcltJo 
hiagiugu  and  in  the  religion  of  the  Dniids,  a 
religion  which  pervaded  all  Western  and  Middle 
Europe  louif  before  the  establishment  of  the  Honuin 
republic.  Tliere  were  three  oniers  of  this  priest- 
hood—the Dniids,  the  Bards,  and  the  Vatea.  It 
was  the  di:ty  of  the  Hards  to  celebrate  in  poetical 
compositions,  wbich  they  recited  to  the  music  of 
the  liarp,  tho  grwib  dwds  of  heroes,  and  to  prescrre 
by  this  means  the  hiatory  of  bygone  times,  and 
impress  its  Ie»»ons  upon  the  minds  of  their  con- 
tempomrie«.  Tho  name  of  their  harp  was  dw^ 
from  whence  came  elaraeh  (the  Latin  derieut),  per- 
tuining  to  llio  harp,  and  clarsair,  a  bard  or 
haqicr,  wbii.-h  ultimately  came  to  designate  the 
priest  who  took  part  in  the  musical  celebrations  of 
the  fane  or  teiuple. 

Thus  it  will  be  seen  thai  tho  word  "  clerk  "  is  of 
very  high  imd  noble  origin.  Whether  it  might  not 
wisely  be  superseded  in  our  time  by  that  of 
banker's  or  luerchant's  auiatant  is  a  question  which 
I  shall  not  herediflCQBB.         Cuaklcs  MackaY.

EptsTLK  FOR  Good  F  rid  at.— There  ia,  I  think, 
CD  error  of  paDCtnntion  in  very  maoy  editions  of 
the  Common  Pniyer  Book  and  the  Authorized 
Version,  which  dissociate*  the  words  "forcTcr" 
from  the  sentence  to  which  they  he]oijg(Heb.  x.  \:i; 
comp.  14)  and  joioa  theiu  with  one  which  follows 
(comp.  1  St.  Peter  iii.  22  and  1  Cor.  xt.  25), 
This  error  apparently  cnntmdicts  the  Creed  and 
Acts  i.  11,  iii.  21 ;  St.  John  xir.  2,  3,  fi8;  Heb.  ix. 
SU,  as,  X  37  ;  Phil  iii.  20;  1  Theas.  iv.  16  ; 
S  Tbeas.  i.  7  ;  St.  Mntt.  xxvi.  6-J.  I  cno  under- 
iUukI  tbo  passage,  of  course,  even  as  now  punctu- 
ated.  in  .toe  sense  of  the  clause  added  io  the 
NiceoG  Creed,  and  the  words  of  our  Lord  Rer.  iii. 
21  ;  hut  I  beLiere  the  verttes  12  and  14  of  Heb.  x. 
relate  to  Che  one  sacrifice  once  for  all,  i^tdva^ 
(Heb.  Tii.  27),  and  therefore  the  punctoation

Now,  tbe  J'Ansoo  of  Bedford  Row,  father  of 
Mn.  McNoily.  voa  named  M'iUiam,  and  hiB  aoa 
wu  named  Wdtiani,  not  **  Obailea  William."  One 
Thotiia»  J'An!>ou  pmctbed  na  n  solicitor  in  Parlia- 
nto%  Sltwi,  Weatiiiiiistcr,  in  1775,  and  did  not 
taik«  oat  acrrtificato  »f(^rthat  diU«.  Ho  is,  tlivre- 
fore,  probably  the  gentle'Toan  irho  retired  to  Prior 
HouHv  KichiDoad,  Vork&hire.  I  hare  seen  the 
'*G«a«nl  Iaw  Lials"  for  177J5,  '77,  '79,  '80,  '82, 
'SSt  ^  ud  '87,  but  the  Damo  of  the  elder  brother, 
Uw  barri«t<r  Charlw  William,  does  not  appear  in 
toy  of  them.  He  bad,  therefore,  probably  retired 
from  pfaoUee  bofore  177r;. 

The  name  of  Mrs.  McNally's  fatbor  first  appears 
in  Lhe  Iaw  list  of  1770  (it  may  be  one  year  OKrlier, 
•a  {  hart  not  seen  the  list  of  1778) :  "J' Anson, 
"WiBiani,  Bedford  Bow,  Holbom,  (No.]  24.''  In 
1785  wp  find  both  father  nod  w>n  in  practice: 
"J^AnftOc,  William,  Sour..  Bedford  .Squivre,"  and 
"J'Anson,  Willi.sni,  Jirnr.^  Bedford  Square."  The 
word  "  Square  "  is  probably  a  niisprint,  rw  in  1 787 
tbty  are  both  described  as  of  24,  Bedford  Rov, 
nhicfa  wu  the  Cither's  earlier  address. 

Thus  we  may  dismisa  the  improbable  story  that 

solicitor,  while  pmctlsioK  in    London,  kept  a 

airy  faoune  at  Bichmond,  in  Yorkshire,  which 

wooid  take  htm  about  ten  days  to  rearb,  anil 

1  his   marriageable  dauebtrr  there  :    hIao  that 

fiKally,  a  highly  talented  Irish  barrister,  (>ditor 

'^e  Fubtie  Lwifer,  deeply  engaged  in  polilica, 

iienter  oi  Londoa  tbealrea,  had  time  to 

aawtaoce  with  a  young  lady  re- 


•tiding  at  so  great  adiatance.  In  1777  the  Genera} 
l*o«t  Office  charge  for  a  parcel  or  letter  by  cxpresa 
to  York  was  sL  18i. ;  and  fiichmond  is  much 
further  north. 

One  of  your  lady  correspondents,  whose  letter  I 
have  not  before  me,  from  liaving  misbud  thiit 
number  of  "  N.  &  tj.,"  vlaiius  the  words  for 
McNally,  bnt  aayii  that  the  "IftM"  was  of  Itich- 
mond  Uill,  in  Surrey.  I  think  that  lady  signed 
as  a  granddaughter  of  IVIcNally.  This  removes 
the  great  improbability,  and  it  only  remaina  to 
prove  that  he  wrote  it  i\]\.  Let  u»  try  internal 
evidence,  for  although  llivrc  hnvo  bwu  many  com- 
munications,  nnd  the  tune  \a  familinr  to  many,  tbe 
words  arc  little  krnwn  and  have  not  appeared  in

In  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Jons  Brll  this  is  "one 
of  the  sweetest  ballads  in  tho  Ian(;uage.''  In  my 
Ntimnte  it  amieaTa  to  be  an  ordinary  Vauxhall 
tong,  especially  oa  one  not  itddre-saed  to  anybody 
in  particular,  and  not  remarkable  in  any  way  for 
genius.  If  I  am  of  opinion  that  it  wns  not  written 
by  McNally,  it  is  because  I  do  not  think  U  wotthv 
of  him  on  no  eccasion  which  would  atir  up  aU 
poetry  witbin  a  nmn.  lie  should  have  something 
to  say  less  commonplace  than  that  she  was  "  neat" 
and  *'eweet."  If  any  great  merit  in  the  words 
had  been  discovered  during  tho  lost  century  the 
author  would  not  now  be  unknown.  Many  of 
the  most  popular  songs  of  former  dayn  had  words 
of  little  merit,  nnd  owed  their  succom  to  the  singer 
nnd  tho  composer  of  tbe  tune-  I  pass  over  all 
tide  issues,  a»  this  letter  is  already  too  long.  I 
have  not  seen  William  Upton's  collections  of

cyos  lis  the  haKic-hoUj  in  the  prow  of  tho  galley  t

In  fact,  there  cannot  be  a  more  certain  guide  to 
tho  Inie  uieuniug  of  '*  tended  her  i'  the  eyes  "  than 
tho  reference  in  Psalm  crxiii.  to  ''the  eyes  of  a 
maiden  untn  the  hiuid  of  hnr  mi.<itrexa,''  that  is,  the 
eyesof  a  maiden  in  close  attendance  to  the  gesturei 
of  her  mistress,  for  here  tended  does  not  mean 
ministered  so  much  aa  attended  to  or  watched. 

Agiiin,  in  "  mode  their  bends  adomings,"  aiiom' 
ings  do  not  refer  to  Cleopalm'a  pcnwn,  but  to  the 
pageant  in  general,  which  rveoived  additional 
charm  from  the  graceful  motions  of  the  nymphs.

Mr.  MARSitALL's  interpretation  of  this  word  is 
very  planaible,  and  one  which  may  commend  itself 
to  many  in  the  present  conflicting  claims  upon  our 
obedience  of  the  Church  and  the  State  respectively. 
But  1  venture  to  think  that  the  real  sense  of  the 
ixistsjgo  where  the  word  occurs  ta  other  than  that 
aIii.  MaiujHall  gives.  The  argument,  as  it  seems 
to  luc,  is  this  : — 

"Ye   lenrftnii,  be   Qbedient  to  them  tlist  ue  your 

mutcrs  sccoidiiig  to  tbe  tk-vh ; not   from  tLe  ton 

DiottM  of  pitasiny  nnn,  bat  from  (A*  A^Afr  matiTt,  a*

your  Berring  raitlifuDy  yuur  earthly  niutcre." 

The  exhortation  ut  to  servants  who  arc  Christian 
converts,  as  Mr.  MAasiiAi:.L  justly  states,  and 
therefore  servants  of  a  heavenly  Master,  to  whom 
if  th^  are  tree,  they  will  certainly  be  Iruo  to  their 
earthly  masters.  The  belt«r  reodiog  of  Kvpioy 
instead  of  Oiof,  in  the  parallel  pass.'k^  in  the  Epistle 
to  the  Colouinns,  brings  Ibis  meaoing  out :  "  Not 
with  eyeservice  aa  meupleoseis,  but  in  singleness  of 
heart,  fearing  tbe  Lord  "  (tov  m'ptov,  the  beavenly

nicmorl'd  id  St.  PatricfB  Cathedral,  PubliD,  are 
bU  alike  worthy  of  wme  more  detailed  fcnowlodge 
than  we  Kcm  to  possess.  According  lo  Burke's 
Extinct  Feeragt  he  was  tlio  son  of  John  Meinbardt 
Schomberc  by  Anne,  daughter  of  Kdward  Sntton, 
Lord  Dudley.  His  first  wife  wna  Johanna,  a 
consia,  by  whom  he  had  five  children,  who  were — 
Frederick,  who  resided  in  Germuny  ;  Meitihardt, 
Duke  of  Leinster,  afterwards  thLfd  Duke  of  Schom- 
berg  ;  Otto,  Henry,  and  Cliiirlea,  ee<:ond  Dtike  of 
Schomberg  under  the  patent,  who  died  tinmarried, 
and  wiB  succeeded  in  the  title  by  lus  t-ldcr  brother 
Meinhardt.  Frederick,  the  first  duke,  wenis  to 
bave  married  eecondly  .Susannti,  daaghter  of 
Count  AuuDoJe  do  Hnrccnrt.  Meinbiirdt,  third 
Duke  of  Schomberg  and  Duke  of  JLein»ter,  married 
Ch-arlotte,  daughter  of  Charles  Lewis,  Elector  Pivla- 
tine,  and  bad  four  children,  of  whom  Chfirles, 
Marqiiia  of  Harwich,  died  in  his  fiiiher*!*  lifetime, 
and  rredericii  married  first  the  Karl  of  Holder- 
ocsse,  wheaco  the  Dukes  of  Leeds  and  Lord  Conyers, 
the  present  ropresentiitive  in  England.  Frederica 
married  secondly  iieiijnmiD,  Earl  Fitzwolter. 

Beveral  queries  arise  on  the  above  Btat«nient. 
Why  was  Meinhardt,  who  was  created  Duke  of 
Lciaster  in  the  Irish  peerage  iu  1690,  postponed  as 
to  the  dukedom  of  Schomberg  to  hin  younger 
brother  CharlpB  ?  Wtm  Charlotte,  the  wife  of 
Meinhnrdt,  an  illegitimate  daughter  of  the  Elector 
Palatine  by  Mdlle.  de  Degenfeldl  The  Elector's 
only  legitimate  daughter  was  Elizabeth  Charlotte, 
Dnchess  of  Orleans,  moiherof  the  Kegent  Orletvns. 
In  165S  the  Elector  was  married  tu  Mdlle.  de 
Degenfeld  (the  Landgnivine  Louisa  oa  he  styled 
her)  by  a  Lutheran  dergyuian,  having  repudiated 
his  wife  Charlotte  of  Hesac. 

The  Mnmhal  de  Schomberg  was  made  a  general 

00  April  19, 1690,  his  youngest  son,  Charles,  on 
May  £9,  lii&i),  and  his  second,  Meinhardt,  on 
Aug.  16,  1703.  Prince  Rupert,  who  was  created 
Duke  of  Cunibertand,  Earl  of  Uoldernease,  and 
it.'uon  Kendal,  died  in  1082.  In  the  same  yeax 
the  then  re[nwcntativfl  of  his  brother  the  Elector 
Cha^.  Lewig,  Ooayen  Lord  Conyers  and  D'Arcy, 
was  created  Earl  of  Eoldcrae&ee.  Two  menibere 
of  the  fcniily  of  Schomberg  had  preTiouoly  been 
marshals  of  Fnincc,  Henri  de  SL-honibiTg  in  U>32,

wore  Uikvo  prisoners,  and  their  captors  determined 
that  hulf  of  thftuk  nhonld  he  put  to  death.  Fifteen 
of  thera  beiny  white  and  fifteen  black,  the  white 
cnptain  prop(wed  that  the  fairest  way  would  be  for 
thcni  to  stand  in  a  circle,  and  that  every  tenth  ninn 
should  be  counted  out  as  a  victim  till  the  number 
witf  miule  lip.  This  being  agreed  to,  he  arraoged 
them  in  a  ft-w  seconds  so  that  all  tlie  black  uien 
were  thrown  overbnard.  Query,  how  did  he 
uiauii^e  it  1  He  groti^Kd  them  ucoordiog  to  this

opinion  either  05  to  the  antiquity  of  the  Imes  or  ns 
to  how  they  came  to  fonu  part  of  the  folk-lore  of

In  reference  to  Pr.  Brewrr's  intereBting  iUiw-

language  "  mo  "  appeara  to  be  as  oM  as  "  1 "  as  the 
first  penwnol  pronoun,  and  has  an  independent 
■ezUtenoe  as  a  Doiniuiitive.  There  is  no  need  to 
give  licgniHtic  prnofa  from  the  non-Aryan  lan- 
guages. Wbenaver  at  a  late  epoch  tbo  Aryan 
group  of  languages  was  developed  in  the  osAncin- 
tion  of  various  cUcs,  the  two  fomu  of  p^rsoniU 
pronoun  were  included.  The  adoption  or  sckction 
of  one  OS  a  noniinaLive  wan  an  artificial  distinction 
of  the  priest -gmmmarians,  but  it  is  evident  that 
<be  tvo  fornut  have  survived.  In  one  of  the 
laognag^,  which  has  been  most  doctored  by  gTAQi> 
mariaoB,  we  cannot  say  "  c'est  je>-."  IndeWi,  the 
excomumniciLted  application  of  "  me"  is  only  one 
of  uiwny  examples  of  the  connexion  of  Aryan  com- 
parative UTBUimiir  with  that  of  language  generally, 
and  af  wni<:h  we  shall  know  more  when  csich  is 
further  studied.  Indeed,  it  is  very  doubtful 
whether  the  otttlyinc  Genuani,  Oclt-oj,  Slavs,  and 
others  ever  adopted  Sanskrit  grammar,  or  know 
anything  more  abont  it  in  former  agpii  than  they 
do  now.  Utdk  Clarkb. 

In  my  quotations  I  have  given  the  line  from 
Pope,  McnxU  Baayf,  ep.  iii.,  incorroctly.  "And

in  accordance  with  gratnuinr  legisliition.  Pope 
wrote  the  line,  "  And  soundest  caAuists  doubt,  like 
you  and  me,"  which  ia  not  according  to  Murray. 
Of  course,  "like,"  in  this  line,  ii  the  Latin  id, 
"afc"  and  does  not  mean  "like  to."  Pope  in- 
tended to  aav  that  "sonndest  cagmata  doubt  cm  you 
and  I  [doubt"],"  but  wrote,  "Soundest  casuists  doubt 
like  [or  tu]  you  and  me  [doubt]."*  Tlic  whole

tbeu  jmi  ..iiii[.U'[n  (lio  ftiraltnre  of  the  cell- 
tl;  the  wliol«  .sccn«,  room  uod  all,  owes  iu 


existence  to  the  fertile  inugioalioD  of  the  artist 
who  illusUftted  the  Aeti  and  MonttmenU ;  but 
should  the  woodcut  he  baaed  on  any  better 
authority  than  tho  mere  ftuicy  of  tbedraughtsinaD, 
it  would  have  coaMidpmble  interest  for  the  untt- 
quar^*,  as  being  one  of  the  very  few  views  that  nro 
extant  of  tho  interior  of  the  onc«  famous  prisoo  io 
the  Cathedral  of  St.  Paul. 

In  the  third  volume  of  Fox  (edit  1641,  p.  413) 
is  another  woodcut^  eulitlt'd  "  A  Picture  dcscrihiDg 
the  stniit  handling  of  the  close  prisfiner*  in  Ixil- 
larda  Tower" ;  the  priHonera  beioK  George  King, 
John  Wade,  Tliomju  Leyea,  and  William  Andrew. 
But  I  fear  that  the  apartment  represented  is  not 
the  same  ua  tliat  described  above.  The  stoclra  in 
this  case  would  hold  six  pereODfl.  If  the  prison  be 
the  aame  na  that  previously  depicted — nml  this  is 
nut  Hli!>u1ute]y  impofiftiblc,  though  I  Rnircely  think 
it  probable— then  the  view  exhibitu  the  side  of  the 
cell  exactly  opposite  to  that  which  faces  the  reader 
in  the  former  case. 

Probably  both  views  are  worlcs  of  tlio  imagin- 
ation ;  for  I  am  quite  aware  that  Fox,  denliDg 
with  a  not  very  critical  or  imaginative  age,  repeats 
the  i<ame  woodcut  aver  and  over  again.  The 
illustration  of  '*  The  luartyrdomo  of  Richard  Bay- 
field," lit  vol.  iu  £!i:J,  serves  also  for  "The  burning 
of  one  Peke  .It  Ipswich"  in  the  same  volume  at 
p.  437.  And  with  a  still  more  audacious  tru«t  in  liie 
want  of  obaervalija  of  hij  nMiiiers,  auothcr  wood- 
cut is  repeated  in  the  first  volume,  in  the  closest 
proximity^  at  pp.  8G0,  860.  973,  and  939,  where 
William  Taylor,  priest,  Williani  White,  Itichard 
HtiTodeD,  and  John  Gooso  arc  supposed  to  b« 
depicted  by  the  enmo  illustmtion,  which  also 
reappears  in  vol.  iii.  pp.  1!W\  216,  270,  386,  412, 
BGS,  S83,  892,  and  possibly  at  other  pliices.  One  u 
remiucled  of  the  pagc^)  of  (he  Xurtvihtrtj  f.'Aronic/c, 
where  a  view  does  duty  f»r  several  ritiea,  and  a 
"  portrait "  for  eeveml  individuals.  Uut  although 
I  have  cau<ie<l  a  careful  search  to  be  nuide  through 
the  three  volumes  of  Fox,  1  do  not  lind  that  these 
particular  cuts  of  the  apartment  in  ihe  Lollards' 
Tower  occur  again.  Stow  determines  w'ith  sulBcient 
accuracy  the  exact  position  of  the  Lollards'  Tnwef. 
In  his  account  of  Gwlie  Baynard  Ward,  speaking 
of  SL  Paul's  Cathedral,  he  says  :— 

•■  Al  either  C«m<r  of  thi*  wmI  EiiJ,  »a»,  «lio,  of

In  the  margin  Stow  adds  these  words,  "For

rehue  that  the  last  prisoner  committed  thereto  was

are  very  unaatufnctory  when  anything  like  cle«r

Lolliirda'  Tower  in  Agpw'«  innp,  but  I  nni  pot 
quite  certain  tluit  it  is  not  the  tower  of  St.  Gregory's

(iDotes  from  Mr.  Thoms's  edition  of  Stow  (p.  318) 
this  paaaage,  "found  in  tbe  early  editions  of 
Slow,  but  omitted  in  that  of  Strype  " :  *'  Adjoining 
to  the  LowLirdea'  Tower  is  the  Porish  Church  of 
St.  GregorT."  I»  it  possible  that  St.  Grepory'a 
Olmruhhnil  no  tower  nf  it*  own,  but  ftTailed  itself 
of  tho  nergbbonrini;  LoIInnlft'  Tower?  Newcourt 
only  wiya,  "This  Pariah  Church  of  St.  Gregory 
W113  contiguoii-t  to  the  Lolhrdi'  Tower,"  &c 
(Repe.rtoriHm,  i.  35fl). 

I  do  not,  however,  propose  to  dwell  on  this  pnrt 
of  my  iubject  in  the  present  comniunicition,  the 
obj<><.'t  of  which  i:;  tn  ask  a  bibliographical  question. 
A  few  weeks  n?o  I  pnrch.'uied  of  Mr.  Katiaell  Smith. 
for  tbe  cathedra!  libmrj-,  a  portion  of  what  I 
believe  to  bfi  a  very  rare  tnwt.  I  Inuiscribe  the 
title,  which  «  in  bhitk- letter  : — 

"Th«  mquirle  |  luid  vcrOitc  of  (hequmt  pin-  |  neldcf 
til*  daatli  or  Ri-  I  ulikrd  Huhq  wioh  wai  {  fuun<Jo  hsnged 
la  I  Lolu«  tover." 

Unfortunately,  my  purchase  couprises  only  the 
title  and  the  address  "  To  the  Reader,"  fgur  leaves 
in  all,  endiiJR  with  the  words  "Kcade  Reader  and 
iuge,"  an  injunction  which,  in  this  copy,  cannot  b«? 
complied  with.  Fragiuent,  however,  lu  it  is,  it  i» 
not  without  on  interwt  of  its  own  ;  for  from  the 
fact  of  an  erasure  of  .1  few  words  in  tbe  text,  and 
frotn  the  presence  of  the  word  "  stet "  ia  tbo  mar- 
gin, I  am  disponed  to  think  that  it  was  the  proof 
copv,  and  that  it  has  thervforo  passed  through  tbe 
author's  hftoda. 

Of  course,  tnr  first  cara  ms  to  take  the  little 
ToUiine  to  tbe  British  Bluaenm,  and  to  ascertain 
whether  any  impreaiion  of  it  was  to  bo  found  io  tbe 
notional  library  ;  a  copy  wns  soon  brought  to  me 
(pirastaaA  6^5  a),  and  I  proceeded,  rety  eagerly^ 


to  examine  it  Alas,  this  too  i«  ttoperfe<^.  Cor  il 
wants  all  after  c  iiL,  and  there  is  no  other  capf 
of  tbe  work  in  the  British  MuiWMim.  This  briop 
me  to  my  query,  Where  U  a  perfect  copy  to  be 
found  ? 


a  tine  oi^y  of  the  edition  of  Fox  issued  in  1811. 
taken,  I  have  reason  to  beliere,  from  a  churdi 
library  in  Northamptonshire,  but  in  the  rerruuDiier 
of  this  paper  I  ehall  refer  to  the  octflTO  iasai  of 
Messrs.  Seeley,aa  this  is  more  geperally  nco—Ibk 
In  this  edition  (I  refer  Io  that  of  1853-70}  tfat 
reference  will  be  vol.  ir.  pt.  i.  pp.  133-D7.  Foi 
commences  to  <lQpte  from  my  tmct  at  p.  ISO,

revive  the  great  Mnitknd  controversy.) 

To  me,  as  keeper  of  the  archives  of  St  FImA 
Cathednj,  every  scrap  of  information  about  thf 
LoUards'  Tower  ha&  importance,  and  benoo  I  vtt 
be  disposed  to  overrate  tbe  interest  of  the  - 
the  readers  of  "  N.  &  t^."    But,  at  the  f- 
the  ciiao  of  Biohard  Hun  has  made  xtA  ninru 
the  history  of  those  troubled  days.    It  is  im 
to  turn  over  the  paj^  of  Vox  without  M»et 
deeply  the  popr.Iar  mind  wns  stirred  by  tt, 
SoLLr  discovers  u  reference  to  it   tn   a 
wriuen  by  Latimer  to  Morice.    It  would 
difficult  to  multiply  similar  jmasagea.     __ 
the  Svpjdication  of  Btgyars  (Fox,  iv.  6B3)  : 

"  Did  not  alio  Dr.  Hursey  [the  Biibop  nf 
Chancellor]  and  his  comfilicet.  moet  beinotuljr  (u

In  1.121),  when  Pr.  WUL  Ooderideo  rv«d  tt 
Eevoeation  at  I'nnl's  Croas,  he  thus  referred  te  tki

to  make  Aeone  of  it,  and  I  hold  that  conjiiriures  as 
to  what  may  have  been  the  words  really  intended 
ar«  a  tegitiiuate  subject  for  a  note  where  nu  reuson- 
nble  meaaio^  can  bo  extmcted  from  the  text, 
though  an  editor  might  not  bo  justified  in  tamper* 
in^  with  it,  Happineft»  is  nredtcated  of  both  roses. 
The  enrthlinesA  only  of  thetr  happiness  is  the  snb- 
jeot  of  comparison.  Tbe  distilled  rose  etyoys  a 
more  earthly,  and  the  withered  rote  a  less  eortblf, 
hitppinesa,  and  the  more  earthly  huppinees  lb 
:u»unied  to  he  the  prefemblo  state.  This  the  only 
po!<iible  oonstruclioQ.  is  a  rtductto  ad  ali»urdtini. 

It  has  been  proposed  to  read  "  earlier,"  but  the 
idea  thiit  ouo  rose  attains  to  happineiu  earlier  and 
lliv  other  later  is  still  tmsatisfuctory.  Ail  that  can 
he  ftaid  in  finvonr  of  the  emendation  Is  that  it  Kivet 
some  sense,  though  an  iuiperfect  one,  with  no 
greater  violence  to  tbe  mitfiorized  text  than  the 
omission  of  two  letters.  Tf  a  word  can  be  found  al 
leikst  equally  significant,  and  differing  from  tbe  text 
by  the  omiiwioD  of  only  a  single  letter,  the  emcnda* 
tioo  will  have  twice  m  good  a  chiim  to  acceptance. 
Such  a  word,  I  think,  is  "eathlier."  .Shukespearo

"  eorthlier,"  containing  precisely  the  same  letters  as 
the  latter  word ;  but  unteas  Bome  actual  authority 
can  be  found  for  It  in  our  early  writers  I  dare  not 
venture  to  suggest  so  strange  a  word  where  neither 
sense  nor  metre  required  its  substitution  for  the 
oouimon  word  "rather,"  and,  after  much  con- 
sideration of  the  passage,  I  adhere  to  mj 
present  suggestion  of  "  eatblier."  Its  substitution 
for  "  more  easily,"  as  we  should  write,  or  for 
**  easilier,"  as  Shdcespeare  might  have  written  (for 
be  has  *'  easiliest "  in  Cymbeline,  Act  It.  sc  2, 
1,  206),  was  justified  by  obvious  reasons,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  necessities  of  metre.

"  Hamlkt,"  Act  ni.  sc.  2,  l.  166  (5^  S.  ix.  203  ; 
X.  182.) — Having  lately  written  enough  about  this,  I 
will  only  reply  briefly  to  Mr.  Spence.  1.  Would 
he  allow  me  to  suggest  that  when  tether  is  sub- 
stituted for  either,  then  eiOter  must  be  omitted, 
and  it  is  to  its  loss  that  I  object  t  2.  Shukespere 
has  doubtless  many  imperfect  lines  of  three  and 
four  feet,  but  when  the  imperfection  results  in 
nnscin  nihility  editors  have  invariiibly  considered 
the  line  as  in  need  of  correction.  To  me  Mr, 
Spehck's  line  is  faulty  in  this  respect.  3.  A  third 
objection  that  I  held  in  reserve  is  now  openly 
avowed.  Mr,  Spencb  may  take  the  "monster 
devil "  to  be  a  browsing  herbivorous  animal  or  one 
of  burden,  but  such  a  belief  in  Shakespere's  day 
was  impossible.  In  these  philanthropic  or  fill- 
anything  days  a  devil  may  be  likened  to  an  ox,  a 
patieni  ass,  or  shorn  sheep,  but  to  Shakespere  he 
was  rather  one  of  the  camivora  going  about  seeking 
whom  he  might  devour.  B.  NicnoLeoN. 

"Tempest,"  Act  iv.  sc.  1,  L.  64  (5^  S.  viiL 
385  ;  ix.  4(i5  ;  x.  3.)— I  was  overwhelmed  by  Dr. 
Nicholson's  somewhat  sweeping  assertion  that 
"No  dictionary  nor  glossary,  provincial  or  other, 
no  book  nor  man,  has  as  yet  yielded  the  word 
*  pioned '  or  any  semblance  of  it  in  the  sense  of 
pied";  yet  I  6nd  in  the  Teesdalt  Glouary  the 
word  ^iannet  as  representing  the  typical  magpie — 
the  2ne  of  every  countryman's  tongue.  In  Carr's 
Craven  Gtoisary  as  well  as  in  Halliwell's  Dictionary 
of  Archaic  Words  the  word  is  pianot;  whilst  in 
Brockett's  North-Country  Words  it  is  pianet, 
softened  in  Northants  and  Kent,  according  to 
Miss  Baker,  to  piano.  In  Suffolk  I  understand 
the  lapwing  is  the  "  horn-pie."  I  observe  that  the 
editors  of  the  Globe  edition  give  "pioned"  as 
"digging."  But  why  go  to  French  derivatives 
when  "  the  language  Shakspeare  spake "  gives  a 
word  which  Dr.  Nicholsom  admits  to  be  sense  1

ropes  in  such  a  scarre"  offers  no  difficult  to 
Northern  readers.  It  is  simply  to  make  outciiai 
in  such  a  fear  or  alarm.  In  nutic  pronunciatUH^ 
scar,  n.,  or  to  sear,  v-a.,  "  to  scar  them,"  to  wan 
or  scan  them,  is  commonly  heard  here,  not  aeon. 
Also,  old  people  say  they  are  roopt,  when  hosBS 
from  cold.  Ferguson's  Cumb.  Words  has  "  hotm 
from  shouting."  I  never  heard  roup  as  a  noaa,  Int 
read  in  Scotch  and  Border  advertisements  of  thiap 
*'  to  be  sold  by  pablic  roup  "  vety  often.  A  latgi 
estate  in  Scotland  was  so  sold  last  week,  accoidia| 
to  Carlisle  papers  ;  and  no  doubt  the  word  in  tia 
sense  formerly  was  in  ose  more  extensinlj'. 
Jnmieson's  Scottish  Dictionary  gives  refenuoei  ta 
Icelandic  hroop,  vociferatio,  &c. ;  roup,  hoan^

derived  from  the  pbnt  C^ertu  lertiiii,  which  is 
Rtill  used  fur  the  making  of  ropes  and  mattiog. 
It  may  be  mid  that  there  is  n  creot  difference 
between  such  courso  material  and  the  fine  stutT 
known  aft  cyprex;  but  one  of  Baret*s  definitions  is 
"  a  sail  of  a  nhip,"  and  it  is  possible  that  other 
species  of  Cyptrui  produced  something  more  deli- 
cute  ttian  mats  and  saiU.  We  hare  ample  evidence 
thnt  the  I^tin  word  eypvnu  became  q/pret  in 
EugUsb,  and  froiu  OotgnTo'a  IMclionary  (1611) 
wo  learn  that  the  word  aUo  existed  in  French  ; 
"  (\/pere,  oypenis  or  cjrpresse,  galingale  (a  kind  of 
recdj."  In  Oemrde's  fterftal  theio  are  soveral

roots  of  which  are  known  as  English  galingalp,  is 
still  called  cypress  root  or  sweet  cypress  (ase

contemporary,  L'Inttrviidiaire,  concerning  the 
iKlvi.<>ub1ene»i  of  cataloguing  the  departmental 
libraries  of  France,  and  publishing  a  list  of  their 
rarer  contents,  induces  me  to  ask  whether  a  aimilu 
work  ought  not  to  bo  UDdortakeo  in  this  country. 
We  bare,  indeed,  oo  county  libraries,  such  u 
would  noawer  more  or  leas  uccnnitely  to  the  deput-

old  parochial  and  other  libraries  which  might,  and 
almnst  eerfainly  would,  yield  us  a  knowledge  of 
flomc  bibliographical  ruritica,  which  would  thus  be 
rescued  from  oblivion  and  neglect.  In  these  days 
of  conferences  of  libiuuM  wmetbiag  might  surely 
be  done,  if  it  were  only  to  dral^  n  p«per  of

Bpeahcr's  return  tc  the  answer  of  the  second  ;  in 
iwentj'four  other  instances  it  is  used  for  the 
speech  of  either  the  first  or  second  speaker  at 
ft  later  stage  of  the  colloquy  (the  necessity  for 
which  Arises  from  the  fact  that  rejoin  or  rrJoindtT 
forms  DO  part  of  Milton's  Tocabiilary,  and  neither 
he  nor  other  non-legal  writers  bare  &ny  distinctive 
term  for  the  stages  of  dialogue  beyond  it)  ;  and  in 
only  four  cases  is  it  applied  to  the  second  speech,

chin  luiide  EpcciiTiens  with  forcigo  designs  ordered 
by  the  Cuiiton  iiiL>rchaQt«  after  luodels  sent  from 
Europe.    Probably  there  wan  an  nfj^ent  at  Canton 
■who  Biipplicd  the  reritiired  deiii^.i  for  the  weaJthy 
merohaotd  and  othem  who  deeired  to  have  their 
arms  enibbzoned  on  their  services.     All  dishes 
and  plates  with  flat  ed^s  were  mode  for  Knrope, 
oa  tMSO  vbopes  were  not  lurcording  to  Cbtneae  tAste. 
Tlw  factory  at  SbaoD-king  Foo,  near  Cuntoa,  pro- 
tably  mode  the  bulk  of  tbetu.    "  lodiao  "  is  Dierclv 
the   European   term   for   Orioolal.      The  French 
called  it  '^porceluine   des  lodes."     Mr.  Pranks 
HhoWB  that  there   is  no  reason  to  ascribe  it,  as 
Jftcqitemnrt  hiis  done,  to  Japan.    Still  less  rational 
is  the  idea  thiit  Lowestoft  produced  them.    There 
is  DO  B-ttisfnctory  cvideace  of  hard  put«  havioK 
been  mnde  there.     The   m.'uju factory  there  w«,y 
CODsidemble,  bat  it  was  of  tbc  tmuiU  English  soft 
paste.      The    few    ppeciinens    thiit  eiist  of  hard 
paste  whifh  were  certainly  pai;iM  at  Lowestoft 
ftro   OrienlAl  white  bowls  decorated  thore  after- 
wards.    A  punch-bowl  in  the  Fmnks  Collection 
(Ko.  625b),  of  the  nnppouy]  Lowestoft  class,  and 
inscribed  "  W.  E.  S.,  Warren  Lodge,"  is  dated 
1709,  eicbt  ytan  earlier  than  the  so-called  invea- 
lion  of  hiird  |Kut«  there.    The  manifest  Chinese 
style  of  tbf  iiiiDor  details  in  the  decoration  of  this 
commonly  called   "Lowestoft"   ware  ought  long 
ago  to  bare  settled  the  qaestioD  of  its  Oriental 
origin.  C.  R.  M. 

1  think  tbnt  H.  A.  W.  should  huve  called  these 
*'  Chineflp  dinner  acrvices.'*  It  was  a  custom  for 
some  "erent  families"  to  order  porcelain  services 
from  Caiaa,  with  the  family  arms  emblaiooed  on 


the  pieces,  and  these  were  rraqnentlr  used  at 
wedding  preseots  to  heirs  to  estotcsi.  The  ChiMW 
can  copy  anything,  and  their  ingenuity  ha*  ofUn 
been  thus  employed.  I  know  a  cotintry  honit 
where  the  walls  of  the  inner  ball  nre  oniucitnlad 
with  phites,  the  relics  of  »uch  gift's,  and  thcftfl  had

Leoend  or  Holme  Church  (5"*  S.  i-t-  6(>8; 
X.  Iti,  30,  il6,)— There  is  a  le(fead  of  the  church 
ut  Uijicrup,  ia  Denujork,  not  lucntioncd  by  your 
numerous  eorrcapondcnta.  A  view  of  the  church, 
on  the  top  of  Stevna  Kllnt — a  long  ridge  of  cluUk 
cliffk — and  a  description  of  it,  mav  be  found  in 
Man^-att's  Jutland  and  tht  Dani^t  Jslfg^  voh  ii. 
p.  3B8.  Briefly,  it  was  btiilt  ia  very  early  daya — 
the  fourteenth  century  (some  say  by  a  Bkipper, 
others  by  a  pirate)— as  ii  votive  offering  to  Heaven 
for  jwestTvation  from  a  fcurful  tern pt*»(,  !i lift  con- 
structed on  the  klint's  odge,  to  her^-eiLS  n  landmark 
to  thoRO  at  sea.  While  the  inxions  were  eng:i^ed 
in  bHildinft,  the  walls  eonatamly  fell  down,  and 
could  not  be  made  to  stztnd  straight.  Tbis  ill- 
catured  pcoplo  attributed  to  want  of  skill  in  tho 
architect ;  most  wrongfully,  fnr  it  was  all  tho 
trolles,  who  were  thought  to  have  hwn  di^iiirhed. 
The  masons  were  about  to  bej^in  tht^ir  Inxk  again, 
when  they  heard  a  loud  deep  voice  from  within 
the  hilt  exclaim  in  Swedisli,  "  Hi-ier  up  I"  higher 
up.  Then  they  knew  how  lo  act ;  and,  foUowioK 
the  advice  of  the  voice,  built  their  church  on  the 
Rnnirait  of  the  clitT,  caUinR  it  H-Jierup,  and  here  it 
Rlands  to  the  present  doy.  But  it  would  have 
toppled  into  the  water  long  ago,  only  on  each

"TnR  FofiTF.B.  BROTHEas  OF  Doos"  (&"•  S.  X. 
361,  2Z^.)~1  wish  to  muke  two  comnientii  upon 
the  letter  of  Mb.  Walsue.  First,  he  finds  fiwilt 
with  me  bccuuse  I  was  ignomat  of  what  be  tajs 
is  n  fiict,  viz.  thnt  Miss  Wolahc'ii  story,  with  her 
diumc,  hud  been  itdvorLiised  in  the  Xeuiire  Ilovr 
-and  the  Sunday  at  Home;  ftecondly,  ho  iU»ort« 
thnt  my  "  chnrge  of  pldgiiLri-im  ia  unfonndcd" 
becuuKe  "  MiAK  WnUhc  hiul  done  Mr.  MacC'akk 
tbe  honour  of  beliei'lng  his  story  and  quoting  it 
in  her  book." 

As  to  the  first  complaint,  it  ia  made  by  a  geutle- 
maa  liriog  in  Ireland,  imd  who  ought  lo  know 
that  any  publication  ctunauting  frum  tbe  Religious 
Tmct  &)ciety  is  not  "ooaily  to  be  met  with  "  in  on 
Irish  I7nm.-in  Catholic  bouschold  ;  and  he  certainly 
-ought  to  know  to  what  uses  things  called  **  religious 
iractis"  have  been  applied,  and  why  there  is  a 
strong  adverse  feeling  against  them.  This  I  do 
xi(»itively  iifiinUr  that  neither  in  France  (where  I 
DfiTv  passed  four-fifthv  of  my  time  during  the  bixt 
twenty-two  years)  nor  in  Ireliind  b.ire  I  ever  seen 
a  copy  of  the  Lcuure  Hour  but  that  published  in 
January,  1S64,  and  that  I  never  heard  of  the 
jS'KTidajf  ai  H<mu  until  he  mentioned  it.  He 
might  aa  well  find  fault  with  me  for  not  knowing 
wbftt  books  are  advertised  in  tbe  FrJcin  OmetU 
OT  Timbnctoo  ChronieU.  Secondly,  if  the  author 
of  Tlu  Fetter  DroOurt  of  Doon  bud  done  nie  the 
honour  of  believing  my  Btorr  and  quoting  it  in 
4iet  book,  then  no  charge  of  plagiarism  could  have 
been  preferred.  But  has  tniii  l>ccu  doDe  i  To 
"quote"  L9  to  cite  uu  author  or  piissuge  of  iin 
author  ;  it  is  "  to  adduce  by  way  of  tmluority  or 
ilhistralion  the  words  of  an  author."  This  was  not 
done  in  my  bue.  What  I  bad  written  w.ia  made 
use  of,  and  there  was  no  reference  to  the  writer 
II or  the  publication  from  which  the  iiKident  wu 
iaJcea,  ami  hence  arose  the  cbtagd  of  plogiarifm. 


The  writer  of  Tht  Fotttr  Brothtrs  of  Dovn  had  m 
more  notion  of  qnoling  me  thna  Mr.  Puff  had  of 
quoting  ShnkKuoure  when  he  niode  his  BeefoUer 
•xchum,  "Perdition  catch  my  soul,  but  I  do  love 
chec  '."  and  who,  when  it  was  pointed  oat  lo  hla 
thut  the  words  were  to  be  found  in  OtJUUa.  Un* 
justitied  his  use  of  them  (I  quote  from  Tlu  Orj^ 
Act  iii.  »c.  1) : —

And  so  it  is  with  the  author  of  TTu.  FosUt  ifrolAoi 
of  JJaoK  and  uiyself.  We  both  "  happened  to  lol 
on  the  some"  incident,  and  I  "uoae  uae  oC  it

I  have  boen  wronged,  and  Mr.  WjkUiaB  traM

h.ive  coDipkuced  that  T  have  "had  tbe  hoDour*4t

again.  Tbe  only  liberty  alloved  is  to  beg  panloc 
for  having  been  oHeoded,  and  pray  for  aUMdnUtt 
becaase  we  have  been  deapoiled. 

"  Liliertos  jwuperii  hm<s  est :

Let  me  conclude  with   thu   remark  : — Hid  1 
known  the  name  of  the  author  of   Th»   Fiutr 
BroOurt  of  Doon  in  1866,  or  at  any  subaeqnMt-

at  A.  J.  M.'s  deeignating  Ihia  vdifice  as  a  apeoimea 
of  "nhjmi  Gothic"  It  cao  be  ofdled  nothing  else. 
John  Shaw's  b.iil  of  Ohmt'n  Hospital  i«  nnother- 
apecimen  of  "sham  Gothic,"  but  both  theae 
edifices  are  the  work  of  a  man  of  ability,  "the 
interior  of  the  cliurcbj  as  given  in  Godwin'*' 
Ckurtha  of  London,  is  decidedly  meritorious 
a.s  a  building,  however  defective  it  luay  be  as 
"Gothic."  It  is  a  practical  sacoess,  too,  as  re* 
gards  sound.  Uhuw  intended  by  the  octagonal' 
i'orm  to  shut  oat  the  noise  of  tbe  acQocent  tborongfa- 
fare,  and  he  has  done  to.  The  whole  edifice 
exhibits  successful  ixmHtmcttoo,  combined  with 
great  ignorance  of  Gothic  detiiil  and  a.  general 
absence  of  decorative  taate.  The  lower  part  of  the 
tower  is  wretched,  but  the  lantern  against  the 
netting  Bnn  is  fine,  and  1  think  Cnnninghani  will 
be  found  right,  \¥ho  anys  it  w  a  copy  of  St.  Ilelen'i,. 
York  ;  but  it  is  very  like  Boston  tower,  Lincoln- 
shire. Shaw  displayed  better  9en»o  than  Sir  Cbos. 
Barry'x  coniuiitteo,  fur  the  stone  b  good,  being 
from  Kotton— the  same  as  that  used  fur  King's 
College  Chapel,  Cambridge.  The  cbaryc  of  "  sbatni 
Gothic"  is  applicable  to  the  Uoiiaeft  or  Parliament 
in  the  same  manner.  Tbe  debitls,  thanks  to  Pngin, 
are  more  what  they  should  be  ;  but  there  is  nut  a 
single  mullion  or  groin  correctly  moulded,  if  you 
tiike  the  Bection,  and  the  construction  is  anything 
but  BcientiJic.  C.  A.  Ward.

forward  pro«>fA  or  iioticipote  objections.  Caxton 
most  probably  bud  uot  access  to  Trcvita's  mnnu-

That  Trerii<a  re:iUy  tninalated  Che  Bible  appenn, 
I  think,  hifihly  probable  from  a  letter  written  by

most  intvreitiDX  controversy  at  rest? 

Tlirro  ia  a  rcinnrluiblei,  aod  I  think  liUherto 
unnoticed,  coiucidonco  between  the  lives  of  TrerisA 
and  Wiokliff,  as  well  M  a  wniilnrity  in  their  par- 
auit«.  Bom  abouG  the  tame  tinte,  the)'  both 
entered  iia  atndenta  at  Oxford,  whons  WickUff 
became  Moaler  of  BaUiol,  while  Tnvisa  held  a 
fellowHhip  at  Queen's  Collece.  Both  tlirew  them- 
selves with  ardour  into  the  controvenics  then 
raeiog  bet  ween  the  secular  ciergy  and  the  monastic 
oi^eR).  TrcvifiA  tranalat«d  a  aennon  preached  at 
Oxford  ogriinst  the  tnendicant  ftiara  in  1357  by 
Fitzmlph,  Bishop  of  Armagh  ;  Wickliif  in  136(> 
oonmiencod  his  vigorous  attacks  on  the  frinra, 
vho«e  hostility  in  rvtum  noon  drove  him  from  hja 
chair  At  BiUtiol.  He  nulwci^iicutly  O'Cciipiod  for 
many  years  roomn  at  l^iieeD'n,  of  which  college 
Troriia  wm  a  fellovr.  When  Wickliff  was  pre- 
sented, in  1374,  to  the  Crown  livin^j  of  Liiller- 
wortb,  lio  alao  aeld  the  prebend  of  Aust  in  the 
collegiiite  church  of  West  bury -on -Tryni,  in  GIou- 
ceitenthire,  of  which  church  Treviaa,  then  at 
Berkeley,  was  likewiiir  a  ciinon.  With  idl  these 
pointa  of  contact,  however,  neither  Treviu  nor  Lib 
patraiu  appear  amongst  the  rocogni/cd  followers 
of  the  great  reformer.  Probably  the  pplnions  of 
Wiokliif,  who  in  1363  broke  into  open  heresy,  Hod 
in  1381  fonoally  and  publicly  denied  the  doctrine 
of  tmuauhstaDtiution,  soon  becainc  loo  advanced 
for  tho  Loni«  of  Berkeley  (ind  their  chnplata,  and 
thna  the  intimate  associatiou  which  doubtleM 
prevailed  between  them  in  former  years  would  be 
inlcmipted  and  destroyed.

Bradford  lately,  in  a  case  of  a  hitahand  and  wife 
luviog  quarrelled,  the  woman  xlatcd  that  the 
reason  why  she  kept  a  coal-rako  in  her  bedroom 
was  that  sIh*  suffered  from  oifihlinare,  and  IkkI 
been  iofonnod  tttat  it  would  keep  tbe  ni);hitnare 
away,  S.  Katnkh. 

"Put  IK  CovBHTBT."— The  fonn  "send  to 
Coventry "  is  nUo  used,  but  certainly  not  more 
freqnenUy  than  "  put  in  Coventrv."  Kow  a  boy 
"put  ID  Coventry  "  by  hia  schoolfellows  is  exactly 
w  tbe  jiMition  of  n  penoQ  **pat  in  quarantine. 


Why,  then,  iu:iy  not  the  fonncr  phnue  be  n  oot- 
niption  of  the  latter  }  It  muni  be  Imroe  in  mi 
that  tbe  word  Vowntrij  was  formerly  ^omct^uii 
pronounced,  nod  indeed  writt^-n,  Cointrit. 
we  find  in  fjowtahtll  by  Michael  Drayton,  w 
WAS  firH  printed  in  1593,  "his  breech  of  coynfric 
blewe."  The  two  words  qnaraiUitie  nod  coyntrit 
are  not  ao  different  in  sound  but  that  tbe  foniMr 
might  be  cotnipted  into  tlie  hitter.  The  BogDifr 
word  ^iKtronfifM,  used  in  the  sense  in  which  I  bare 
n-«ed  it,  is  fir^t  found  in  Swift,  as  far  as  uppean 
fri>m  the  dicctonnrie*.  If,  then,  the  {ibnue 
in  Coventry  "  haa  ori^nated  as  I  have  su. 
it  would  be  comparatively  modem,  which 
account  for  our  not  tindin;:  jt  in  our  e.-ulier  Ul«>- 
tnre,  even  where  wc  should  expect  to  Hnd  it,  as  in 
FiiUutfl"!!  remarka  on  the  inarch  of  his  tolditn

.  .  .  .  The  Angles  and  the  Saxons  who  iuvaded

the  Geniianic  tribes,  nnd  by  Scandinavians  tho

Mn.  Gosnu&'s  i<lca  of  the  origin  of  the  vilUgp, 
taa,  or  town  in  correct,  and  I  think  is  qttile  in 
iiccordiiDce  with  my  BtAtetneot  of  the  dUtribalioo 
cf  the  folo-liiad. 

W.  H.  objccls  to  niy  otymolojty  of  rood  from 
ndati,  to  cleur  or  rid  a  space  of  ground,  und 
identifies  it  with  tlie  rod  or  perch.  Bui  thin, 
according  to  his  own  Khowioj;,  oinnot  t*e  the  com, 
for  a  BCjuare  rod  is  only  3(H  Bqimre  ynrd.i,  Btill 
used  in  London  in  measuring  brickwork,  whiUt 
tbo  rood  contains  1,210  square  ynrds.  Uis  idea 
that  the  rod  was  employed  Indiirereotly  for  two 
meofliires  of  »reo,  ono  loriy  tiiiiea  thut  of  the  other, 
would  imply  a  want  of  oomuiou  sense  in  our 
ftnccstors  of  which  they  were  certainly  not  guilty. 

Mil  Hart's  statement  of  the  irregular  mnnner 
tn  which  the  vir^atea,  hideEi,  bovates,  &c.,  wi>re 
ostiniuloil  is  true.  This  doubtless  is  the  cause  of 
much  ditticulty  in  dealing  vith  questions  of  land 
in  medi.'KTa]  times, 

Miu  WoDLLBT  is  a  little  exacting.  He  asked 
for  authorities  that  in  the  enHy  Teutonic  times 
prtTate  projierty  in  hind  (that  ia,  alloditil)  was 
unltnowii.  t  referred  him  to  Ca-aar,  Tocittis,  Sir 
H.  Maine,  Fret'inun,  and  Hnxthivosen  for  opinions 
and  inxtanccA.  He  professes  "not  to  understand 
in  what  sense  historians  oui  be  regarded  as  autho- 
rities for  tho  pre-historic  period."  "AutLoijty" 
ia  a  word  of  diver?  sigQifiaitioBs.  It  souielimes 
means  absolute  knowledge,  which  in  this  ca»e  is 
out  of  the  question.  It  also  is  used  for  the  con- 
clufliooM  which  intelligent  men,  hairing  investigated 
ft  diflicnlt  !«nl>ject,  havp  pronounced,  and  which  are 
entitled  to  res)>eot.  Thn^e  who  do  not  accept  such 
conclusions  had  better  investigate  for  themselves. 

I  have  lo  thimk  my  critics  for  the  conrteoas 
tone  of  their  reninrks.  J,  A.  PlCTOH.

ne^tr  the  msuiiltgoi  this  phrase.  But  Utde  is  sotne- 
thioij  more  than  s  niioin^  term,  n  rein  of  tiietid. 
Hitviog  a  dim  recollection  of  this,  but  not  uble  to

i}tiTt  tyordj.  1 1  bos  no  name  of  autlior  or  pub-

nuthoricy,  as  it  w.!!  sent  me  by  n  frtcnd,  a  cunoD 
of  Lincoln.  It  wu  very  interesting  and  before 
glossaries  were  to  plentiful.  I  find  there  :  "  Loda 
seems  synonymous  with  drain,  and  is  chiefly  used 
in  Lincolnshire  and  Norfolk.  Not  in  Hnlliwell." 
Neither  is  it  in  any  new  glossary  nor  in  uurdisloct, 
but  there  may  bo  a  reference  lo  tlits  sense  in  some 
Kortbem  place-names,  as  Load  log,  &c. 

Tlie  expression  seems  to  be  s  figurative  mm!  or 
sportsman's  way  of  signifying  that  the  conspiracy 
was  stifled  in  its  secret  progress,  as  if  rolled  along

These  font  parjf^pha  ibow  the  chief  meanings 
that  have  been  uttaciie^i  to  the  word  ui\i.T\h  The 
Brat  definition  is  tbnt  of  John  Ruskin  (i^or^ 
Clangem,  1876,  p.  247},  but  with  the  words  in

pamhle  wfth  the  other  definitioD.

others]  costs  you  nothing,  you  mwai  not  be  paid 
for  doing  ir.  "  {Fort  Clavigtrtt,  lfi77,  p.  220). 

The  curliest  use  of  the  word  iMwry  in  accordance 
witli  the  defiaitiou  formiiLi  of  tho  fourtli  pctro^'raph 
Chub  I  lutve  found  is  by  Jeremy  Bcntham  tu  L787. 

r  have  endeavoured  to  includo  in  the  following 
liHt  the  titles  of  those  books  only  in  which  the 
nwMry  of  the  above  two  definitions  (pamgraphs  1 
and  2)  is  combated ;  but  a^  of  the  hooks  noted 
sevcml  I  have  not  tKvn,  and  or  of  several  of  those 
which  I  hare  seen  I  have  had  time  to  rcvid  bat 
little  more  than  the  title-page,  I  cannot  answer 
(ihftoliitely  for  the  accuracj"  of  the  list.  The  titlea 
mostly  follow  the  order  in  which  the  works  were 
written. 

The  letter  M.  following  a  title  denot«a  thA 
i\  copy  of  the  book  so  marked  is  in  the  British 
Mui^utii  Library.  The  letter  B.  following  n  title 
dcDOti^s  that  I  have  fuled  to  find  a  copy  of  the 
work  so  marked  in  the  Brituib  Museum  catalogues, 
and  that  a  copy  is  in  the  Bodleian  Library.  I  nare 
carelessly  omitted  to  explain  thte  u^e  of  the  letter 
B.  in  my  previous  lists  in  "N.  &  Q.,"'  to  most  of 
which  it  applies.  The  letters  T.  S.  K.  refer  to 
Edward  Acber's  transcript  of  the  registers  of  the 
Stationers'  Company.  Additions  to  the  list  will 
be  welcomed,  and  should  bo  forwarded  to  uie

respect  the  use  of  any  IocaI  weight  or  niejwtire  is 

tmnishnble  by  a  fine,  of  forty  shillings.  Very  little 
Kw  been  board  of  thin  Act,  und  most  farmers 
(hrotiKhnut  the  country  will  be  tnken  by  surprise. 
No  dniibt  it  is  extremely  desirable  that  there 
should  be  uniformity,  for  the  use  of  local  weights 
and  meaAure.1  iit  very  puuling  to  th<>aG  who  are  not 
accuHtorned  to  them.  I*>ery  county  at  prcaent 
adopts  a  uietricil  system  of  its  ovm  ;  aud  in  many 
cases  even  neiKhbourioj^'  mrisbca  adopt  diiTerent 
wci^hti  and  measures  in  buying  or  scllia};  their 
produce. 

Tt.  hn.s  nlwayR  seemed  to  mo  to  be  dcaimble  to 
make  and  piihiiRh  a  collection  of  the  nnroe«  of 
local  wei^htji  and  mejuittres  for  convenience' 
sake,  and  I  think  such  a  colleclioD  would  not 
bo  without  interest ;  but  tbe  local  wei}{bts  and 
nipa'*iir«;3  are  so  nimierotis  that  it  would  be  a 
work  of  iimgnrtiiilo  involving  cunsidprnble  labour. 
It  seems  especially  dc*imb!c  to  eollect.  them  nnw 
chat  they  are  to  be  abolished,  for  during  the 
next  genRHition  they  will  he  qtiite  forgotten ; 
und  as  many  of  theui  are  icitera'<ting  froui  their 
itntiquily,  others  from  being  eaMcd  by  names 
Dot  10  genenl  u'e,  and  some  becauw  they  are 
actually  more  convenient  than  the  atandanl  weights 
and  moiwiiree,  it  seems  to  me  that  it,  would  be 
legitimate  work  for  the  reailera  of  "  N.  &.  f^."  to 
collect  und  record  iheni  ax  matters  of  curiosity,  if 
they  do  not  quite  come  under  the  category  of 
fulk-lore.  I  therefore  send,  a.<i  a  fir^t  instalment, 
a  few  notes  on  Cheshire  weights  and  measures, 
trustin);  that  other  corrcspoDdouts  may  follow  suit 
from  other  countiea. 

In  Cbenhir©  twenty-four  sheaves  of  ooro  are 
calKv]  a  thrave.  The  threshing  machine  has  in  a. 
great  degree  superseded  the  flail ;  but  when  hand 
threshing  ia  done  by  piecework  it  is  always  done 
at  BO  much  per  thrave.  The  farmer  counts  out 
two  or  three  thmves  at  a  time  for  bis  men  lo 
Ihresh,  and  keeps  a  record  of  the  amount  of  work 
done. 

The  ('hesliire  measure  doesduty  for  the  standard 
binhel.  In  dilfcrent  localiliea  the  measure  of 
whwit  varies  from  "Olhs.  to  70  lbs.  nnd  8(i  Ihs. 
Fcinr  measures  make  one  load.  To  buying  wheat 
it  is,  ihoreforo,  necesanry  to  specify  what  weight  a 
mejisuro  or  a  lood  is  expected  to  be  ;  hut  formerly 

I  recollect  there  were  luftutiire,  half-nicasnre,  and 
[»cck  cylinders,  and  com  w.vt  no  doubt  sold  by 
nieitxiirc  as  well  as  by  weight.  As  u  nile^  in 
Cheshire  everything  ia  reckoned  by  scores,  in 
order  to  usimilate  with  the  long  hundred  weight, 

which  was  formerly  in  general  nse.  A  Cbnbire 
man  always  thinks  in  scores,  if  1  may  u«e  such  an 
expression,  Violh  M  regards  weight  and  nnraber.

to  the  iilwve  weights  per  load.  Thu  quantities  in 
which  wheat  and  ull  kinds  of  ut^Id  are  sold  are 
nMwurM,  bnlf-luiuls,  und  londs.  ^Vc  know  nothing

LirerpooL  Tba  measure  of  oats  weif[ha  4&lbei.  or 
fiOlbct.  in  diiferent  localities.  A  loitd  of  oats,  how- 
ercr,  is  seldom  spoken  of ;  they  are  usuiilly  only 
sold  by  the  nieasiire.  Beans  ate  sold  by  the  loud 
of  12  score  or  2-HHbs.,  and  a  meAJtiire  of  hem» 
weighs  60 lbs.  Theold  name  "pack"  for  anytbini; 
wcinbiDK  2-10  lbs.  is  frequently  heard  iq  (^hesbire  ; 
but  even  the  dassical  "pack,"  which  we  learned 
in  our  "  tiibles,"  is  now  abolished  :  cverythiug 
must  bo  sold  by  hiioitredweijjht^  or  tons. 

Potatoes  nro  eotd  by  thi:  swrc  of  21  lbs.,  which 
19  also  considered  equirnlent  to  u  ppok  ;  but 
thouj^h  the  peck  ts  reco^ized,  the  bntmel  of  four 
pecks  is  seldom  or  nerer  he»rd  of  except  in  seeds- 
men's ^bop?.  Potatoes  are  either  sold  hr  the  score 
or  by  the  load  of  12  score  ISlhs.,  tb;«  "in  12x21, 
or  25:^  Ib!<.  Hiiaipers  are  also  made  which  are 
BQpposed  to  coDtum  half  a  load,  and  in  them 
potatoes  aro  aomclimes  suM  without  weighin;^,  Init 
they  aro  geiiorally  weighed. 

Formerly  in  Cheshire,  I  presume,  f^verything 
was  sold  by  the  long  handredwei^ht  of  12t)|b»., 
for  in  my  yonn^^er  days  the  sets  of  wpigbla  at 
fiirms  U9G<1  to  be  1,  2,  4,  5,  10,  30,  and  6(11  b». 
rwppctirely.  Cheese  in,  I  think,  now  the  only 
article  which  is  aoM  by  the  Ions  cwl.  It  in  a  far 
more  convenient  weight  to  nae  than  tho  Rtandnnl 
cwt.,  liecniiso  it  is  nssiiii ilnted  to  our  duodecimal 
coinnge,  ami  mlculntions  become  as  simple  ns  if 
wc  had  adopted  a  completo  xystem  of  decirniil 
weights  and  decimal  coinajje.  Thus  6tl  per  lb. 
is  (J<M.  per  cwt  and  fio/,  per  ton  ;  GJrf.  per  lb.  is 
e^f.  S(L  per  cwt.  and  fi-2l.  lUji.  per  ton  ;  G^d,  per  lb. 
is  6&1U  per  cwt.  .ind  f>5/.  per  ton,  and  so  on. 

Fmit  is  sold  by  the  peck,  the  measure  of  four 
pecks,  and  the  hamper  of  six  pecks.  A  peck  of 
Miples  weighs  14  lb<L  ;  of  pears,  16  lbs. ;  and  of 
plams,  181b)i. 

I  c*n  recollect  the  time,  not  many  yean  since, 
when  a  pound  of  biitter  was  dilfcreut  in  dtfTerent 
markets.  Serenteen  or  eighleen  ounoca  were 
frequent  weights,  but  at  Korthwicb  twenty  ooaccs 
went  to  the  pound. 

In  long  mensTire  the  rood  (».«.  rod)  of  fl  yardu  is 
adopted  for  moat  poipoBes.    Such  piecework  na 


hedging  and  ditching,  dmining,  putting  up  mils, 
&c.,  is  done  by  the  rood  of  8  yardB.  Stjiittre  mea- 
sure Also  is  founded  upon  the  8  yard  rood.  A 
square  rood  is  H  x  $,  or  04  yards,  and  diirging  iisetl 
always  to  be  p;ud  for  by  the  »quure  rood,  ('heshirc^ 
square  raeoaura  ntna  thai :  64  yards^  1  rood ; 
40  roods  or  2,560  yards=l  quarter  ;  4  quarters  or 
10,240  ynrds=l  acre.  Mowing,  spreading  maoore, 
and  ploughing  are  frequently  "  set,"  i.t.  let  nt  m 
niitL'b  per  Cheshire  acre  ;  and  it  is  oasily  meutired 
by  working  men  Wcaiiw,  roughly,  KiO  yartlic,  nr  a 
little  more  correctly  lna  yards,  stepped  each  way 
makes  an  acre.  A  Cheshire  fanner  can  hardly 
"  take  in  "  a  statute  acre ;  and  1  feel  very  sore- 
that  considerable  mistakes  are  made  in  the  anniuU 
AgricultuTTil  Returns  in  conKqiienco  of  fanuin 
inndvertcntly  putting  down  Cbe«bire  acres  instced 
of  Htjihitv, 

lu  the  standard  code  fonr  gills  make  n  pint  ;  il 
Cheshire  a  gill  inrariably  means  half  a  pint. 

We  have  .in  old  collotpual  Ha>'ing  when  wo  an 
giving  or  receiTing  good  measure,  namely,  that  it 
i»  "  ikl:ixSeld  measure,  npyeped  and  thnitcbed.'

informed  mo  that  his  curiosity  had  also  been 
awakened  respecting  it  by  the  fuUowiag  lines  he

periods  which  haTc  left  behind  them  neither  reconis 
nor  erideDce  it  is  impossible  to  say.  The  Geld  of

m  pIcMioe  nitntge  which  dixsipates  into  thin  air 
when  Mihject  to  rigid  examiiiAtioD. 

Dr.  Mackat  inaJntuina  "thai  the  British  speech 
vaa  Gaelic,  not  Cymric ;  thut  the  Britons  were 
never  extcrmiaated  by  their  iDvaders ;  and  that

coUoq^QiAl  and  vemacuTur  En};lish  rroui  that  dny  to 
this.  Abtindant  and  saperabiindftnt  prrnifa  of  thin 
fact  will  be  found  in  the  <t<ulxc  Etymology  of  tht 
English  Langtuxftj  recently  publiihed."  He  also

Owen  PiVe,  Tbos.  Nicholas,  J.  Pym  Yealmaa, 
and  other*,"  whoever  these  Iniit  iiiny  ho. 

I  have  Ionised  over  Dr.  Mackav's  pages  with 
some  interest  and  curiosity,  bat,  whilst  admiring 
his  inseDuity  nod  laborious  research,  I  cannot  say 
that  I  am  convinced.  I  hare,  at  nil  ereDta,  bMQ 
amused.  Hnzlitt  once  wrote  a  paper,  On  FufpU 
%mth  Onf.  Idra,  and  there  is  about  HUfh  people  a 
stnrdy  lhDTniif;t)DeB«  thAt  commands  our  admira- 
tion, if  it  fails  to  secure  our  assent.  It  is  sonu-tliing 
to  be  told  that,  like  M.  Jourdain,  who  had  been 
talking  pro^e  for  forty  years  without  knowini;  it, 
we  have  nil  our  lives  been  speukinf;  Gaelic  without 
having  the  least  Idt-u  of  it.  It  must  be  owned  thnt 
At  fir»t  sight  some  of  the  etymologies  are  rather 
startling.  Take,  for  inslancv,  obclith  from  Uuel. 
ob,  a  serpent,  leish,  a  stone  ;  moitaie  from  vioMch, 
worthless ;  potato  from  bun-la  17/1  fa,  tlie  choice 
root ;  Hyde  Park  from  aiie,  joyful,  pair*,  an  en- 
closure :  hoKctfiuoon  from  oige-na-miiinim,  the 
youth  of  faith  and  confidence  ;  gentrui  from  »«im- 
fhartii;  wntfhfiil  nUi  umn  ;  friyaU  from  /rx(h, 
small,  ffftth,  a  rlnrt  ;  Pitrailue  from  bettrt'^eist,  nn 
ornamental  garden  lonkinf;  towards  the  south  ;  the 
Ortat  Morjui  from  mag,  11  large  strong  hand,  tuil, 
an  eye,  "  cum  niultis  aliis."  The  first  plnnge,  how- 
ever, in  everything.  "Co  n'est  que  le  premier  pas 
3ni  coute."  When  we  have  reiicht'd  (np  point  of 
erivifljf  Atia  from  Gaelic  tu-ia,  the  back  cmintry, 
and  Africa  from  Gaelic  abh-nithtach-in^  the 
country  of  the  flowing  river,  we  are  prepared — 
pliiloloj(icnl]y~ to  believe  anything;  wo  can  sym- 
patliizo  with  Henry  O'Brleu,  who,  in  his  Round 
ToiBtn  iff  frf-lnnd,  grarely  propounded  that  Apollo 
VH  Brso  Ap-haul,  and  that  Usiris,  the  Egyptian 
deity,  was  am  Irishman  by  the  family  name  of 
aSiris. 

My  present  purjwse,  however,  is  to  show  the 
learned  doctor  tlii»t  he  standt  alone,  or  almost  alone, 
in  his  riewfl.  Thu  aulhorilies  ho  quotes  when 
tested  rather  tend  to  controvert  the  theories  he 
propounds.

Mr.  PiCToy  11  qnite  right  when  he  says  that 
Kit's  Coty  Houfle  cannot  be  derived  from  Aofjlo-

but,  like  tunny  other  namea  of  places,  &c.,  can  be

"cist"  (common  to  the  Latin  and  CJreek  as  well  as

tion  to  those  stone  erections  similar  to  Kit's  Coty 
House  which  have  been  brought  to  light  by  excava-

Inferred  thai  this  cheat  eerrod  as  a  sarcopbagua  at

*»^ve  that  this  "  idiomatic  EogUsh  "  is  wrong,  for 


it  is  oocunon  now,  and  has  been  so  eTer  since  onr 
language  has  bad  a  literature.     When  W.  T.  }kf. 
adds  that  these  "shp-shod  phrases"  "were  common 
among  the  writers"  of  a  period,  he  overlooks  the 
fuel'  that  the  period  extends  from  Queen  Elizabeth 
to  the  present  hour,  and  tbo  writers  are  in  every 
department  of  literature,  but  chiefly  dranintista 
and  nurelists,  because  they  deal  in  the  colloquial, 
and  theologians,  matbematiciana,  and  philosophers 
woutd  hardly  find  occasion  for  such  phrases.    The 
real  question  is  this  :  Are  m<,her.thtt,  ymi  alw.iys 
the  "  cbjectire  cases  "  of  /,  sht^  Oum,  yt,  or  are  they 
like  the  French  mot,  Imi,  Ac,  indvpcndcnt  per- 
DOTial  prooonns—Gallicisms  if  you  like  I    That  is 
the  moot  point,  and  one  not  to  be  pooh-poohed, 
but  worthy  the  grareet  consideration.     Untmmar 
legislation  is  wholly  out  of  court,  because  gram- 
luariuns  are  the  defi^ndant^  and  cu&tom  the  phiiutlff. 
Of  course  Serjeant  Bazfuz  will  not  fail  to  enforce 
on  tlie  ittt«nliui]  of  the  learned  judge  that  me,  htr, 
thte,  tfou,  &c.,  are  not  accusative,  but  dative  cases, 
in  rejilily,  and  have  no  prescriptire  right  to  tha 
position  assigned  to  them  by  gmmmarians  ;  it  u, 
therefore,  no  more  treason  to  push  them.'  usur|)efB 
from  Iheir  throne  than   it   wiw  for  tbu  ancient 
Egyptians  to '.unseat  the  Hycsos,  or  shepherd  kingR. 
Tn  shorten  controversy  and  keep  closer  to  the 
matter  in  debate,  allow  me  briefly  to  state  how 
the  case  at  present  stands:  1.  M<,  her,  ttue,  you, 
are  not  "aociisRlire  cases"  nt  nl),  but  "aative 
cases  "  of  the  Anglo-SaxoD  pronoimi.     i.  Custom 
is  the  only  Uw  of  language,  and  whatovpt  custoni 
sanctions  is  right,  nc  matter  bow  abenrd  or  how 
iodefensilile.    3.  The  sole  provinoe  of  grmmnisr  is 
it  po«t(riori,  from  pti?tom  to  rule.    The  grammarian 
has  only  Ic  take  the  accepted  forms  of  speech  and 
classify  them  in  the  moAC  convenient  groups,  as  a 
botanist  takes    Huwera  and  orrimges  them    into 
families,  varieties,  and   outlaws-      He   ia  only  a 
compiler,  and  nut  »  maker  of  decretala.     Thus,  in 
Latin  a  noun  has  six  cases,  hut  that  grammoriaD 
would  have  his  heutl  broken  who  forced  ii;o  nop  totes, 
dtptolcs,  and  triptoLes  iuto  the  same  bed.     ^ch  a 
gmiiimatical  Procrustes  woutd  be  •  literary  moD- 
ftter.    4.  Idioms  are  the  comets  of  laogDage,  and 
are  not  subject  to  geneml  rules,  they  are  rules 
unto  themselves,    5.  The  iuHuoiiice  of  the  Normana 
on  our  Inngiiiigc  uuunot  he  ignored,  and  the  phrases 
rubindicti  loot  like  GwUicisma,  and  may  be  80, 
6.  Afe  is  no  part  of  the  pronoun  i,  Aer  is  no  part 
of  Che  pronoun  tkt,  &c.,  and  only  do  duty  in  tho 
same  w.iy  as  twnt  is  the  charwoman  of  lie  verb 
ffo.     It  is  just  us  absurd  to  cidl  »i<  a  case  of /,  as 
to  call  wtiU  tt  tense  of  go.     7.  Although  me,  Aer, 
him,  &c.,  are  (somstiiDes)  iisi'd  after  prppositiona 
and  fcrbs,  that  does  not  prove  that  they  are  ob- 
jective cases,  any  more  than  that  man,  boy,  ffirl, 
or  other  common  nounn,  are  objective  cases  because 
th«y  Roinetimes  stand  in  the  sitme  regimen.

Pope ;  it  looks  like  a  trap,  uid  I  am  cony  he  h$» 
fallca  into  it.  Pope  wiot«  "SoondeBt  eaniists 
doubt,  like  you  oDii  me,"  but  ooght  to  hire  written, 
Aooording  to  Murray,  "like  you  and  I."  The 
fbrnier  "  phnue  "  can  only  mean  that  "  sonndest 
cnauiHs  like  [to]  you  and  me  buvc  their  doubts  " ; 
but  Pope  did  not  mean  to  say  that  he  and  other 
doubters  were  anioagst  the  "souodest  castuBts," 
hut  that  he  and  otbcrH  had  doubts  as  the  mundest 
casui&te  had— the  "soundest  casuists  doubt  [like] 
as  you  and  I  doubt." 

Finally,  I  fear  Tennyson  will  not  feel  gratefal  to 
his  apotoftisC.  "  Save,"  we  aU  knonr,  in  used  as  a

would  havo  written  "  Bo  who  makes  ua  free  should

makes  iis  free  I "  I  rewrre  my  judgment  on  the 
main  cjiiestion,  nnd  only  sLt  for  the  present  a 
humble  disciple  at  the  feet  of  Oaniftlid. 

La^^j^  E.  CoDiiAJC  Brewer. 

Dr.  Brbwer's  long  list  of  irrcgularilicw  is  very 
intsiesting,  but  I  am  not  with'ng  to  ndmit  tliitt 
these,  or  even  a  larger  number,  will  allow  him  to 
declare  the  pronouns  free  from  the  ordinary  rules 
of  grammar.  It  is  fair,  no  doubt,  to  ap]ieal  to 
custom,  and  to  say  that  custom  is  found  in  the 
works  of  good  or  popular  writers.  And  quotation!* 
show  that  goad  or  popular  writers  hare  taken 
much  licence  in  their  usage  of  the  caae-rorms  of 
Itrononns.  But  it  is  powiiblc  to  confuse  what  wru 
eastern  and  what  is  cuHtom  ;  for  custom  cbauges, 
and  a  series  of  passages  will  only  prove  what  was 
the  cmtom  of  those  particular  writera  or  the 
custom  of  thcii  timea.  To  come  to  particulars, 
the  inquiry  now  seems  to  be  whether  custom  JU3- 
tiSea  a  person  in  caying  that  the  nominatives  and 

Zctives  of  the  pronouns,  «.jf.  7,  t/i!,  tcko,  mr,  you, 
m,  are  interchiiogosble.  1  bold  that  custom 
gives  now  no  midi  general  liberty.  The  irr«- 
gularities  adduced  arc  not  of  sufficiently  frequent 
occurrence  to  make  ruHtoni.  In  Shakeapeare,  for 
inalanoe,  they  are  few  enougli  to  be  obtrusiye 
when  we  meet  them;  in  Slarlowe  fewer;  in 
Milton,  na  in  the  good  writers  of  our  day,  such 
irregularities  an  sdmost  nnknown.  Some,  as 
maoy  of  those  quoted,  are  obrionsly  mnde  on 
purpose  for  fi^  rirae :  some,  as  in  the  dramatic 
writers,  were  such  hiipa,  or  even  ntisprinis,  as  the 
writer  would  prohnUly  have  corrected.  Some- 
times irregular  gminiuar  wus  intended,  ns  wo 
may  suppose,  like  vulgar  pronuncialiun  or  the 
misiue  of  a  word,  to  mark  the  sncial  position  of 
the  speaker.  Some  *uch  instances  ooair  in  Dr. 
Baswaa'a  list ;  nad,  to  take  u  modcra  example, 
we  should  not  quote  Tennyson  as  an  authority  for 


bad  grammar  becanH  in  Q»*m  ATiry,  p.  Sll, 
Joan  says.  "  Our  Daisy's  as  good  'z  htr";  or  Tft, 
p.  217,  "tw  uxu  forced,"  and  Joan,  "1  ^cara* 
Writeni  agree  with  King  James,  who  ny»,  ia  Ui 
aeidit  and  Cauttiit  of  ScottU  Po4»U,  **Gif  ttv 
putpoM  be  of  Ijindwart  eflairb.  To  uhc  oomtptit 
and  uplandis  wordis."  In  some  C(t»e9  an  ineovntt 
phrase  became  current,  and  this  waa  iho  futt  of 
"Between  you  and  I";  it  was  paaae*!  on  as  « 
quotation, a  phnt^c  stamped  with  ant horily,  auottd, 
not  copied.  So  people  nse  "fare  thou  weU''ssi 
"  fare  thee  well  "  without  inquiry  wlielheroos  *r 
both  may  be  right  ;  or  people  chsngc  "  him  wat 
best "  into  "he  were  best"  without  inquiring  wfaai 
ia  really  more  correct. 

The  real  objection    to  Dr.    Brrwft  "      "'    ^ 
that  these  pronouns  are  interchan^^M 
it  does  not  meet  the  facta.      Modem   iii.->i' 
ngainst  it ;  a  person,  whether  tpeaker  or  n 
who  uses  them  interchangeably  is    not    ■■-■'■ 
customniy  speech.    Modern  cusUim  of  j;i 
correctness  is  agalnal  aa  older  cuMunt  I't 
of  idiom.     For  if  we  inquire  into  ruvrti. 
take  the  tendency  of  writers  and  tlie  j.i. 
torn,  we  bIwII  find  a  general  principle  ai  wnil  4aJ 
Euglisli.     Ic  is  this :    cise-endings  of  nonoa  il 
appeared,  aad  nominatives    and    acciiaaCires, 
Objectives,  became  alike,  one    Btitodiog   for  tt 
other,  OS  in  French,  where  usually   the  obj«ti« 
was  the  Bxed  form,  but  soinetimea  the  nomtoaUn-l 
This  tendency  touched  the  prononn.-^  aUo,  but  ^| 
nnt  master  them,  and  was  arreatod  by  iiriiilint; ; 
the  study  of  gmmmar  and  of  the  ri»H«ical  langui. 
in  schools.     If  we  take  Rntt  icho  nnd  kA«i^^ 
Bnd  who  used  for  the  objective  tchom  in  etBUBl 
idioms ;    for  who  as  an  intertogntivu  comes  bt\ 
in  its  sentence,  the  subject  of  a  sentencv 
first— thus  u-Ao  is  treated  as  subject  in  mnn 
where  it  is  rightly  objective,  a*  "  H'hn 
me-on  I"  "  Who  did  you  meet?"  *'  H"/«i 
wolf  lovel"   The  sanio  reaaon  used   to

As   for   y«   and   -ifou,   custom  has    mad"  Rf^l 
changes.    It  has  pnclically,  except  in  srw-t  i*!  uw*t|

on  the  shield  are  converted  into  four  shamrocks, 
and  Old  Scarlett  himself  is,  a«  the  writer  (writing 
up  to  his  woodcut)  says,  "short,  stout,  hsrdy  and 
self-complacent,  perfectly  satisfied."  In  reality  tha 
picture  represents  him  as  tall  and  Dowerful,  with 
a  grim,  stem  counteounce,  in  aoootaaiKW  with  the 
descriptive  lines  th^it  are  placed  beJow  the  picture.

"Tnr.  DF-irnTKD  ViLLAfts"  (0"^  S.  x.  88.)— 
The  four  works  thiit  I  haro  consulted  in  this 
matter  do  not  anywhere  mention  Springfield, 
though  it  is  po»aihIe  thitt  Goldsiuitb  mny  have 
stayed  there  a  few  iiiunthR,aa  he  often  took  a  ohort 
journey  out  of  town  in  the  summer  to  work  in 
quiet  and  live  with  economy.  But  my  books 
af^reo  with  geneml  opiniou  in  stating  that  the 
aceiK  of  I7i«  Ikitritd  Village  Is  taken  from  Lissoy, 
the  early  home  of  its  author. 

To  the  numerous  clues  itpon  which  IhiH  opinion 
haa  been  founded  may  I  add  another  1  A  tr^iveller, 
whom  Wiwhtngton  Irving  accepta  as  an  authority, 
tdentifioil  Lissoy's  alehouse,  with  the  sign  of  "The 
Three  Pigeons  **  swinging  over  tbe  doorway,  as 
"that  house  where  nut-brown  draughts  inspirfrd — 
where  once  the  ftign-pisst  cnught  the  passing  eye" ; 
and  we  know  that  Tony  Lumpkin  says,  "I'll  siog 
you,  gentlemen,  a  song  I  mado  upon  this  alehouse, 
*The  Throe  Pigeons.'"  Now  ns  Ooldsmith,  on 
leaving  Dublin,  returned  to  tbe  scene  of  hts  child- 
hood und  spent  two  idle  yeiirs  in  the  neighbour- 
iood  of  Lisoo/,  'ta  it  not  probable  that,  bariDg 


introduced  his  favourite  tArem  in  a  i '  (>ott 

would  further  dewaibe  it  and  tb«  vJ  .^  ifl 

bis  more  elaborate  poem,  7%6  Dtterttii    >  uio^/ 
Both  poem  and  comedy  were  written  mboat  iW . 
same  time,  although  as  publications  three  jtaa 
stand  betwecD  them. 

That  it  waa  in  his  idle  youth  thai  Goldsmith 
dwelt  near  Lissoy  urges  the  strong  likelihood  d 
his  cultivating  with  such  Aasidiiity  tbe  avqaauil- 
ance  of  humble  folk,  and  breuthing  so  freqaenllj 
the  .tir  of  the  village  tap-room    as   to  steep  fav 
mind  deeply  in  their  associations,  and   colour  ht 
thoughts    for  life  :    while  tbe   certain    koowledfi 
nf  the  idetitity  of  I^asoy's  inn  and  "The  Thrtt 
Pigeons"  of  She  Stoops  to  Cottqnur,  and  that  "iW 
lutstflkea  of  a  night"  were  made  in  the  v'. 
Ilia  home,  does  not  detract  from  the  pro)> 
the  scene  being  made  to  pla^a  part  aho  m  ':t 
poem.    Au  controin,  Goldsmith  ofleu  re|irr^dacn: 
for  instance,  the  opening  Unea  of  Th<  Tr-i:  "■-  —

Then  fcllowa  tlie  text  (pp.   1-287)  ;   the  wotic 
rancliidin^i  with  three  pages  of  verse  (evideutlv  by 
GaytOD  bitnself),  one  of  the  pieces  bcint;  entitled 
"  Long    Meg    of    Wejtmin-iter,    to    Piilcinca    of

Aa  to  the  work  itself  there  cah  be  no  doubt  aa 
to  its  intrinsic  wiirtfa  ;  and  the  student  will  bad  it 
as  nmch  a  uintributioa  to  our  early  literature  as  a 
critical  c.-0Diiuciit  on  thv  history  of  thv  uniijalchable 
Don.  The  style  is  sTifficientty  gossiping  not  to  be 
tedioQii,  And  thor^  19  not  a  po^e  but  will  aRbrd 
some  iioint  of  interest.  (Jayton  not  urfrequently 
repeftta  Home  of  hia  altiiaions.  He  twiw^  for 
example,  introduces  that  whimsical  gcuiua  Tom

I  gave  Bnme  of  n>y  own  expcrlence!i  in  bunting  for 
lithe  oomniut:i(ion  ninpR  tn  the  country,  nnd  there 
can  be  00  doubt  that  ioliuitely  the  more  rejidy  plan 
is  to  consult  them  And  their  schedules  at  the  offices 
of  the  Tithe  Corainiasioners  in  St.  James's  Square. 
Hut  ibe  dmwback  to  consulting  them  for  literary 
pttrpoftM  is  the  expense.  The  stulutuble  fee  for 
consulting  each  innp  (und  n  larue  uuiubor  of 
poriabefl  ore  divided  into  mnay  townidiips)  in  £«.  GdL, 
and  no  effort  of  mine,  notwithatnndint;  kindly  aid 
of  the  moflC  influential  chjtmcter  then  poKsihle, 
availed  to  soften  the  benrts  of  the  Commusioners 
to  make  any  reduction,  though  sometime;!  one  map 
could  be  run  throii^jh  iu  five  minutes  or  less.  I 
hope  somaooe  else  mny  .siiE!oe«.'d  where  I  fnitod.  If 
expesBe  is  no  object  ^IR.  Ciommr  will cerCiinly  find 
London  a  belter  bunting  ground  than  the  country. 
So,  too,  with  respect  to  auction  lists  in  loc^I  papers ; 
th^ir  files  are  ur  more  ready  of  accc's  at  tha 
British  Museum  than  elsewhere,  especially  if  the 
fwarch  is  not  to  bo  confided  to  one  district  or 
county.  At  the  same  time,  to  elucidnte  tlie  reni 
nieaninf;  of  moit  of  such  names  some  koowledue 
of  the  place  in  which  they  occur  and  of  the 
character  of  the  ground  is  intfispensable. 

The  mngnitudo  of  the  task  of  treating  of  th« 
field  names  of  the  country  at  large  is  to  me  some- 
thing appalling ;  and  I  speak  from  experience, 
having  devoted  the  leisure  time  of  a  twelvemonth, 
gome  eight  years  ago,  to  collecting  the  licld  names 
of  Derbyshire  and  cl-isaifying  them  in  conjunction 
with  the  place  nnmex,  for  of  course  the  luo'it  in- 
teresting of  Jitld  oames  have,  at  one  tltne  in  their 
history,  been  -placf.  names.  Scarcely  a  tenth  nf  the 
county  was  thoroughly  done,  and  I  learned  enou^ 
to  prove  that,  to  be  siirce-oafnlly  carried  out,  it  ia 
esiientinlly  a  work  of  co-operation.  The  oxtreuM 
interest  and  historical  raTue  of  such  a  reaearch 
became  fully  apparent.  This  county,  from  iU 
central  position  and  mineml  wenltli,  Rtlracted 
settlers  from  all  the  dilfercnl  marauding  tribes  that 
used  to  overrun  Eoglatd.  One  of  the  most  curiona 
features  of  geoenil  iatereat  was  to  note  how  the 
terminals  of  the  field  and  place  nmries  in  one 
ToUey  indicated  i  more  or  less  permanent  settle* 
meat  of  Northmen  of  Danish  extmctton.aiid  in  the 
next  valley  of  Northmen  of  Norwegian  orizin. 
My  notion  wna  to  claasify  the  names  nndcr  Celtic, 
nuiiian.  Saxon,  Norse,  and  Norman  liojniistic 
heads  (each  having  subdiviaions),  and  also  in 
chapters,  such  aa  Fauna,  Vegetable  Productions, 
Ecclesiastical,  PcrsotwJ,  Trades  and  Occupations, 
&c.  I  have  a  large  amount  of  MS.  on  theae 
different  matter*,  part  being  in  a  very  fragmeotjuy 
nod  imperfect  condition,  but  I  shall  be  glad  to 
lend  any  or  all  of  it  to  Mr.  G<>iime.  He  might  be 
interested  in  th.it  bearing  on  trades  and  occupa- 
tions. One  of  your  correspondents  expressed  some 
doubt  as  to  ini<lanc«s  of  this  kind  occurring.  I

maker  of  bows  and  arrowa,  Teree-maker,  uud

Tho  reason  I  wrilo  Ibis  is  not,  bowt-rer,  to  spcok 
of  what  I  biive  dont,  bnt  rather  nf  what  I  hare 
failed  to  rio,  and  of  how  imprenwd  I  am  by  the 
width  and  Hcape  of  the  ttDderlakini;,  and  also  to 
make  a  practical  sugf^tion,  which,  if  carried  out, 
would  ^iel  the  work  gr&dtmlly  but  surely  nccom- 
pltshed.  Al  one  Utne  it  bad  seemed  as  if  some 
special  agency  orould  lie  required,  but  the  inulti- 
plio&tion  of  machinery  is  always  to  1>a  deprecAted. 
AlmMt  every  Eni;liah  county,  without  exception, 
has  its  own  Arch^ological  Society,  in  some  in- 
sianoes  conjuictlv  wiLb  utbcrs.  Could  not  the 
TMpeetire  councils  of  these  societies  agree  to  pur- 
chase the  twenty-five  inches  to  Iho  riulo  sheets  of 
the  Ordnance  Survey  as  they  arc  published,  and 
to  fill  up  theieoa  the  Seld  namns,  for  which  there 
ia  abundsDco  of  space  i  Tlie  tithe  commutation 
maps  would,  of  course,  be  the  chief  source  of  in- 
formation, but  these  would  be  supplemented, 
especially  in  titho-froo  distncts,  by  private  estate 
maps,  which  would  generally  be  forthooining  at 
tiie  request  of  a  society.  I  know  of  several  of 
great  intercut  more  than  a  century  old.  Id  addi- 
uon  to  the  other  sources  mentioned  by  Mr.  <Jomuk 
I  would  nUo  name  the  Charity  Commissioncra' 
Ho|M>rtH  prior  to  the  Tilhe  Comuiutatjon  Act, 
which  I  hnvo  often  proved  to  be  rich  in  field 
names  not  mentioned  on  tithe  uinpa,  and  idso 
occasional  "finds"  in  the  old  Fnclosurei  Acln. 

Then  there  are  at  least  two  other  sorts  of  names 
that  should  be  preserved,  which  no  tithe  maps  will 
mve,  and  whic-h  can  genemlly  only  be  gleaned  on 
tno  spot,  viz.  the  names  of  brooks  and  brooklets, 
nad  tlie  numea  of  roadn  and  lane-'*.  In  the  former 
class  I  have  found  several  undoubted  Celtic  wnnis, 
and  the  «tudy  of  the  latter  has  helped  me,  inter 
aiiOy  to  identify  the  sites  of  two  old  cnnpels,  and  to 
learn  the  dedication  of  a  chantry.  In  fact,  to  the 
ecclesioh^-it  nnd  hagiologisl  the  study  of  field 
mtmea  is  invniuuble. 

A  cousidembte  number  of  names  will  pmTe  to 
be  of  very  little  value,  and  merely  relate  to  the  sJite 
or  position  of  llio  fieldn,  or  lo  a  companttiTely 
stodem  owner ;  but  few  mnps  ciiu  be  scarcbed  with- 
out a  large  amount  of  ore  being  found  amongst  the 
dross,  »nd  1  suppose  nn  name  can  be  luiid  to  be 
absolutely  devoid  of  interest.  Field  names  in  the 
township  where  I  am  writing  (HaKclwood)  have 
enabled  me  to  identify  the  sites  of  a  small  medimral 
casUe,  a  Rnman  road,  and  lands  pertaining  to 
I>arl»y  Abbey.  I  give,  wilbont  wuument,  some  of 
the  more  striking  field  namca  out  of  n  amall  town- 
ship in  this  county— Bnd well,  in  the  jiarisli  of

^'eoerally,  ^iR.  Boccuier  f{ives  it  as  bis  opinion 
that,  "as  far  &a  En^li-ih  readers  are  concerned, 
Longfellow's  tmnslatioa  is  so  exocllent  in  all 
respects  that  it  appenra  to  mo  to  have  rendered 
any  sul>Mqueat  one  RuperfliinTij).  It  is  true," 
he  odds,  "that  Longfellow's  version  is  not  in 
irrza  ritna,  and  th.it  an  abmhitely  iwrfect  veraion 
of  any  poet  ought  to  be  in  the  poet's  own  metre. 
Such  n  vcrsiwu,  however,  in  the  case  of  Dante 
appears  to  be  UDattainahle."  Perhapt  it  Is  so  in 
every  oase,  unless  there  be  acorlain  consanguinity, 
fw  to  aay,  between  two  langiiageB,  nnd  ft  certain 
natural  readiness  in  the  on©  to  yield  itself  to  tho 
fortns  and  measures  of  the  nlher.  Even  then 
a  poel  does  not  adopt  "tbe  fonii"  into  which  ho 
has  thrown  his  poem  without  n-tlrclinn,  and  with> 
out  feeling  its  aptitude  for  fullilling  its  purpoM. 
And  the  "form  '  of  the  work  ought  not  to  be

due  order  nntl  the  fri^ntency  of  their  recurrence, 
without  ruocting  Ia  atitT  or  antiquated  or  un- 
natnrsl  forms  and  words,  or  introducio;;  new  ideas, 
which  no  writer  will  tolernte  less  \biia  Dante, 
whose  pictures  arc  suc-uinplct«  tliut  they  are  spoiled 
by  the  nddilion  or  eubtnvctioD  of  a  siDjjle  image. 

Mr.  Wright  in  his  translation  felt  the  difficulty 
in  both  wavR,  and  has  tried  to  avoid  it  by  leariag 
the  middle  line  without  corresponding  rhyme,  and, 
if  I  can  trust  uiy  own  G:Lr,  with  consiaeraole  effect. 
The  final  full  of  the  stanza  brin^  to  it  more  of 
resemblance  to  thatof  Dante  than  any  other  tnins- 
lution  which  I  hnvc  Heen.  Indeed,  taklDg  into 
nccount  "form  as  well  ns  sense,"  I  hare  been  in 
the  hnbit  of  reconnnendiog  this  translation  to  more 
ilnglish  readers  :ui  the  one  which,  tftke  it  all  in  nil, 
would  on  thv  whole  give  them  the  best  notion  of 
Dante  in  the  ori^inul.  1  wi^h  that  Mr.  Bouchibu 
hftd  happened  to  aiention  his  estimate  of  Wriglit'a 
imnsLition,  but  a  comparative  review  of  tho  sovenil 
translation!  was  not  exactly  his  object,  though  I 
fnncy  he  could  iimko  such  u  one  very  iatecesling 
and  uvefut.  S.  B.

"The  "Wychk"  (5'^  S.  x.  87,  l.'S8.)-VarioiiB 
have  been  the  coojwlUTeR  as  to  the  mcJining  of  tbia 
name  (which  I  prefer  to  dpell  Wych,  following 
Chiiiiihers  and  Lees),  and  no  satisfiictory  one  hiu 
been  fiiund.  The  ide-Jth.it  seems  to  Mrike  the  visitor 
to  Miikfrn,  on  bearing  Ihnt  "  the  Witch  "  (for  »o  it 
is  pronounced)  is  to  be  tbe  object  of  his  first  walk 
or  drive,  is  that  one  of  "the  wcirrl  sirters"  had,  or 
possibly  Hlill  bin,  her  nhode  there.  Nor  is  the 
illusion  iliMwUed  when  the  dark  chasm  is  reached. 
hv  which  the  road  linktuj;  the  counties  of  Hereford 
.and  Worcester  pas'^es.  Should  a  nor'-easter  or  a 
sou'-wcstcr  drive  through  the  fnnoel  yon  might  he 
easily  whisked  olf  your  legs  on  a  broom? lick. 
Many,  I  have  co  doubt,  cjirrj-  away  with  llieiii  the 
peniiancnt  iiuprewion  of  a  h:iunted  place.  But 
apart  from  the  difticnlty  that  the  mere  ntiitic  nf  a 
person  cannot  heaccepted  forn  dwellingor  locality, 
wo  must  look  for  somL'tbing  luorc  tangible  and 
probable. 

The  favourite  tbcoiy  of  the  local  antifiuarie*  is 
that  the  limit  of  iho  western  part  of  the  kini^iiom 
of  Merci",  inhabited  by  the  flui\.ii,  baviiij;  la'cn 
here,  it  wiis  therefore  so  called.  But  the  oliji-ctJon 
juMt  nd\-nnced  again  applies  with  equiJ  force. 
Then  the  nutunU  attributes  of  tbe  Wyub  present 
themeelvps.  Water  is  no  doubt  found  close  by,  as 
welt  as  elsewhere  on  the  flanks  of  the  Malvern 
range  ;  imd  Droitwich,  Nnntwith,  and  other  places 
where  Halt  springs  exist,  are  cited.  But  here  (here 
is  no  such  spring  ;  and,  moreover,  Mr.  Taylor,  in 
bis  Wordt  ««d  Piacit,  derivca  the  suffix  in  the 
names  of  these  towns  from  the  viks,  or  Iwys,  in 
which  the  brine  was  reduced  lo  salt  by  evaporation, 
and  not  in  any  way  from  the  springs  tbemwlvet. 

It  lias  often  BlTitck  me,  when  udiiiirinj»  from  the 
Worcestershire  plain  this  Hirigiii-TT  recess  in  iho 
hillside,  that  another  natural  feature  may  hare 
been  the  true  origiu.  Wo  still  talk  of  a  riil.bit- 
bntcb  ;  but  in  olden  limes  hutch,  A.-S.  Auwwa,  wna 
a  moat  important  word  in  our  language.  It  stood 
for  a  cupboard,  a  chest,  a  trough,  and  it  is  believed 
even  that  the  wych-elm  accjuired  the  prefix  from  the 
wood  of  that  tree  being  employed  by  preference  in 
tho  making  of  hutches,  or  wycbe«.  Many  instance* 
of  the  large  application  of  the  word  might  be  given  ; 
suffice  it  to  say  that  the  Pron\-piOTiv.m  Ptrrvwlomm 
has  "  Hoche,  or  Whycbe— .\rcba,  cista,"  and  that

— Mr.  J.  C  Robinson's  notice,  in  the  Timt^  of  tho

my  attention  w.i8  the  tradition  th;il  aotncwhere 
in  the  remote  north-west  tbe  silver  casket  with 
Brtice'a  heart  still  exists.  This  reminded  me  of 
the  following  romantic  incident,  wbirb  «ti9  lold  to 
mo  Noiiio  years  iif^o  by  n  Seottixh  ^-ntleman  of 
nink,  who  was  in  the  military  pprvice  of  Ttan 
U-»r[(i3.  Dnring  the  liuit  f 'iirliat  war  he  was  in 
company  with  the  Ba-it^ue  (renetml  Oorregarni  on 
the  heights  above  Santander.  Tbe  general  pointed 
out  a  large  atone,  which  he  said  w.i<4  the  Ktonc  of 
tlie  "  Duyin,"  a  vidiivot  kniifbt  from  8™tl.ind.  wlio 
bad  vonii?  to  assist  SiKiin  ikjpinsl  tho  intideU,  and 
bail  put  in  at  this  port  on  bi«  wny.  Dwrr^^ira: 
sent  tor  ftnme  winp  to  his  tent,  and  he  .ind  my  in- 
formant drank  tn  the  memory  of  the  bmvo  Doii^jlai. 

The  body  of  Douglas  was  buried  in  Spain,  and 
his  bones  were  brought  back  to  his  native  land 
tiad  bnried  in  the  chnreb  of  I>ougIns  where  a  "  fair 
nlnbftslre  tumbe  "  was  erected  otct  them  by  his  aon. 
Tbe  kiDg's  heart,  according  to  Barhour's  Hrurr,  is 
iviid  to  have  been  -ilso  brought  back  nod  buried  at 
MelroBO  Abbey,  to  whioh  house  this  gre:it  man  wa« 
a  hpnpriictor.  If  that  wm  its  resting-pl.ice,  it  has 
prob;i.hly  been  destroyed  in  the  Border  wara.  But 
if  there  is  nn  ancient  silver  casket  yet  preserved  in 
tho  north-west  of  Spain  some  tmvclUng  iintiquary 
should  try  to  sfe  nnd  describe  it.  Tbnt  tho

Thtrt  upitenre  to  b«  internal  evideaoe  that  Mit.

«•  nijEhi  be  inio^^ined,  aa  a  correction  of  its  stace- 
BMitg.  Still,  since  it  appears  to  contradict  at

I  stulemeut  which,  I  hiinibly  think, 
lie  »u  erroneous  one,  I  niu  obliycl

-  .  1  11  professedly  in  connection  of  my 
i  am  Burry  ibai  my  absence  abroad  hoa  pre- 
tue  from  doint;  »o  before.     On  the  main 


point,  indeed,  it  is  sntiafactory  Ui  aeo  that  Ks. 
Beli.  jigreea  with  me.  yneen  Klizabeth  ucver 
asserted  for  herself,  or  allowed  hex  heralds  to  a-sscrt 
for  her,  a  claim  to  the  title  of  Queen  of  Cyprus.  I 
have  pointed  out  thnt  the  cause  of  this  erroneous 
supposition  WMS,  that  in  the  arras  of  her  Kfcat- 
prandmothor,  Quci-u  Elizabeth  WidviUe,  a  quarter* 
ing  really  Uiied  to  indicile  her  ianl<;roaI  descent 
from  ihe  imperial  hou.«  of  Luxemburg  waa  eap- 
posed  (and  not  inexcuaably,  since  the  bearlogn  were 
exactly  the  snmc)  to  be  the  arms  of  the  kioga  of 
Cyprus  of  the  house  of  Lusignnn.  But  Mr. 
Beu.'s  paper  still  assert);  tlie  <|UiirteriD^  to  he  that 
of  "  Lusignaa-Cyprus,"  and  quotes  a  paaaage  from 
Sandfords  Gen.  IIi$i.,  p.  407,  in  which  it  is  bo 
jittributed,  while  in  the  Ba:a»  pnauige  the  first 
quarter,  Arg.,  a  lion  nnip.  go.,  crowned  or,  ia  stated 
to  be  the  arms  of  Lnxembarg. 

Now,  Mr.  Uku.  leema  to  be  quite  (divo  to  the 
fftct  tlint  our  old  heraldic  writer*  ore  rery  poor 
antbohtieA  with  regiird  to  matters  of  cnntinental 
armory,  for  ho  says,  "  Oaniden  and  ppthick  of 
course  adopted  the  anna  of  Eiizabtib  \\  idviile  as 
they  found  them  already  recorded  in  tbe  College  of 
Arms"  ;  and  to  this  I  may  iidd  thnt  Srindford  did 
the  Mime.  Our  ofd  hcnildic  lreati(.cn  were  all 
founded  upoH  llieir  pn-dcccMors,  and  i-rrort  were 
repi-atod  becauso  the  compilen  bad  not  materials, 
time,  or  opportrinity  for  independent  reaearcb. 
Ilonce  it  w  that  when  we  iitteuipt  to  correct  an 
error  by  the  aid  of  materials  which  arc  available  to 
UK,  but  which  in  many  cjL»es  were  not  arailablt  to 
them,  wc  are  often  borne  down  by  repeated  iguotv 
tions  from  English  benUdic  books  bo  compiled— as 
if  the  reitemtion  of  a  blunder  mado  it  a  fiuit  — aa  if 
on  a  '|Uestion  of  continental  nrmory  Handford  or 
E»liitwnd«on  were  of  the  smallest  wei;;ht  against 
Ruch  a  giant  as  Spener — or  as  if,  in  a  muiier  of  this 
kind,  a  HtateaienC  copied  by  them,  in  all  probability, 
from  still  Ibbs  learoed  predeoeiBon,  would  outweigh 
even  the  contemporary  evidence  of  aeala,  or  monu- 
ment9,  or  coins.  On  ((ucstiana  of  continental 
heraldry  Sandford  is  as  httle  nn  uutburity  ns  lus 
predecessors  ;  and  that  he  nsaigned  liic  iiuiirtcriogs 
rufcricd  to  in  the  manner  recorded  Droi'es  to  my 
mind  nnthing  hut  that  be  shared  the  prevailing 
ignorance,  and  wlu  piirdonably  misled  by  tho  a«- 
sertiona  of  his  predecti«or«,  and  by  the  fact  that 
the  benrlngaof  Luxemburg  and  Lnsignao  hiippened 
to  be  identical. 

But  Mr.  Bkm,  produces  a  piece  of  evidence 
which  requirca  more  rc-jwctful  treatment  when  he 
refers  to  the  fact  that  Maurice,  in  hi*  lilaion  d« 
Artnoiriii  ittt  Chtialitri  de  la  7'oiton  d''>,  aasigna 
to  I'eter  of  Luxemburg  and  to  nine  of  hia  house  who 
were  KnigbtH  of  the  Golden  Fleece,  not  the  coat, 
Arg.,  live  bars  iixure,  over  all  a  lion  ramp,  gu.,  cr. 
or,  but  simply  Arg  ,  a  lion  ramp.,  ij.  f.  gu.,  crowned 
or.  I  have  not  Maurice  at  b.ind,  but  I  have  the

Now,  there  mtut  sorely  be  Bome  wny  of  aecooDt- 
iag  for  fvea  this  one  iiuertioo  of  tbr  plain  coat 
witboat  the  ban  in  the  books  of  Chifflet  iimI 
Moiiricft,  for  it  is  ahsoloKlj  ineoDt«rt«h1e  that  tb« 
hooH  of  Loxembarfr,  to  which  the  Coonta  of  St. 
Pol  b«JoQ^ed,  did  bear,  as  I  hare  already  stated, 
the  coui  Barry  arg.  and  az.,  otci  all  a  lioD  lamp.

of  Anns  of  the  TbiTt«eiith  Century,"  printed  in

The  explanation  which  I  hare  to  offer  is  a 
Ten-  Mtiiple  one.  ThoOKh,  in  the  works  of  ChitiJet 
and  Maurice,  Peter  Count  of  St.  Pol  and  others 
of  the  bouse  of  LuxcinLxirg  hnve  only  one  coat 
recorded  against  their  naiues,  and  this  Ibe  plain 
coat  witbont  the  bars,  it  does  not  by  any  means 
follow  Ibae  this  was  all  they  bore,  or  that  they 
had  not  also  the  rif;bt  to  use  the  Barry  coat, 
either  ulone,  or  quartered  with  the  other.  The 
(act  is,  the  plain  coat  without  tbe  bars  was  the 
origins!  cout  of  the  boiue  or  Luxembui^.  and  it 
continued  idwayn  to  be  luetl  by  the  Dukea  of 
Limburg  (r.  Chifilci,  p.  2),  of  w^icb  tbe  house  of 
Luxemburg  was  a  branch.  The  latter  Hno  very 
frequL'utly,  but  by  no  means  invariably,  added  to 
tbe  Ancient  coat  tbe  azure  bars,  simply  as  a  bruurt, 
or  difl'erence.

ourselrcfl  the  question  :  is  it  n  fact  ?  In  latin 
and  other  itiH>.>cted  laDguACPs  of  the  santo  sort  it 
may  be  fo,  but  not  in  EngliJih.  Take  the  two  fol- 
lowinji  sentences  :  "The  man  loves  the  woman" 
and  "  the  woman  loves  the  man  '* ;  why  should 
"  tnan  "  and  "  woman  "  be  nomiontivc  ca^;  in  one 
position  and  objective  caao  in  the  otber  I  They 
are  no  cnses  at  all  in  either  iDstnnL*e ;  Ihcy  are 
wmply  subjects  and  objects  of  the  verb  "  lore." 
In  latin  it  is  otherwise.  "  Hom-o  amat  mulier- 
em "  and  "muHer  nmat  hom-inem "  manifestly 
show  a  cliange.  Hom-o  is  not  the  same  can  ai 
hom^inem,  nor  mulicr  the  aame  case  as  mvlitr-tm; 
but  abolish  the  c:iac-cndin^8,  and  let  the  words  be 
"  horn  amnt  mutier"  and  "  mulier  amnt  bom,"  and 
it  is  simply  absurd  to  sny  that  horn  and  muiitr  in 
ODO  instance  are  nominative  ciises  ivnd  in  the  other 
actitisative.  They  are  no  cases  at  nil,  for  the  simple 
reason  that  the  ending  which  con<<tiCute  the  rose 
have  been  wiped  ouL  So  when  wenboliahcil  ease- 
cndintcs  we  abolished  ca-se.a,  and  it  is  mere  gnun- 
niariang'  entiumar  to  say  a  noun  cbao^s  its  case 
when  it  ahifts  its  place  m  asontence.  If,  however, 
vfv  have  no  cases,  why  should  pronouut  be  the 
exception  Io  an  otherwise  invnriftbto  nile  i  If 
verbs  and  prepositions  ilo  not  in  RnKli-sh  govern  a 
casp,  then  int,  y<rtt,  ha-  are  nnt  objective  cases  at 
all,  nor  are  /,  thmt,ihf.  noDiinative  aifn  ;  tlieyare 
six  independent  pronouns,  and  "  bet\Yecn  you  and 
1 "  is  ns  good  grammar  as  "  between  you  and  me."* 
It  is  no  question  of  granmnar  which  of  these  should 
be  used,  but  simpty  a  qt:(><ttian  of  custom. 

In  reply  to  J.  C.  AI.  I  need  only  say  Unit  I 
think  his  test  will  not  prove  the  point  be  contends 
for.  He  says,  "  Test  tne  matter  tins  way :  invert 
the  '  you  ami  I,' and  there  will  be  no  question." 
Let  na  try  the  test ;  "  Soundest  cwtaists  doubt  like 
(a«]  I  and  you  [donht]."  This  is  every  bit  as  goorl 
lis  "Soundest  caaoista  doubt  like  [as]  you  and  1 
[doubt],"  as  fur  as  I  can  see.  "  You  and  1 "  must 
be  wbiit  gramraariana  call  the  nominatives  to  Ibe 
verb  " doubt '^  undentood,  and  "like"  must  be 
the  equivalent  of  the  Latin  coaiunction  u(,  "  as." 
J.  C.  M.  adJs,  "  '  Like  '  is  an  tidjective,  and  must 
govern  (i  case."  Mos  certainly  "  like  '*  is  not  an 
ndjeclive  lu  the  senteoeo  under  delwite.  It  does 
not  mean  nimiTar,  as  "like  passions,"  but  in  a 
Htmilar  itay  a*,  which  must  be  a  conjiioction.  In 
regard  to  the  dcgmn  that  "adjectives  [in  English] 
ninst  govern  a  wise,"  I  must  simply  state  my 
belief  to  be  the  vi-ry  contr:iry.t  Any  and  every 
alCetiipt  Io  force  liitin  rulc^  upon  the  English

of  the    Aryan  tongues,  being  of  late  origin  rud

Armenian,  Albanian,  and  nil   the  outlying  Ut-

the  development  of  what  we  now  know  «»  Arju

di«d  in  1826. 

From  this  it  is  plain  that  the  Hum,  as  contain- 
ma  the  words  "  hammor  fell"  nnd  "  mystic,"  were 
only  tentottve,  and  hare  do  right  to  be  taken  »«

mentioned  hy  Mr  Loekhart.

not  easily  acipiired),  which  he  rt-ii{jned,  in  1789^ 
for  the  Tnluabte  rectory  of  (^Innfeacle,  to  tba 
diocese  of  Atnmgh  ;  and  as  is  duly  recorded  of 
him  in  the  IhiUtH  Univtrtitjf  Catei'dar,  IH76,  toL 
ii.  p.  SiH),  he  waa  "  a  celebrated  nRriciilturist."  I 
have  now  before  me  one  of  bis  imblicutlonis,  entitled 
An  EUmtntary  Trtatiit  on  the  I'uiiyenoua  Ginatt

"Ths  sakiid  btr"  (S*  S.  X.  SOR.)— The  we* 
"  naked  "  was  used  in  this  e«pr*««ion  for  *'  in  In 
niitural  Btale,"  "  unaided  by  art,"  as  the  lucwt  «•■ 
vunient  word  to  avoid  the  nircumlotiatioD,  jtut  M 
Homer  u^e-A  yiyii^^  and  Virgil  iiudui  for  oft- 
armed.  The  naked  hand  gave  a  less  forcible  hio» 
than  when  armed  with  the  Mtftu.  From  unanael 
to  unaided  generally  is  an  easy  transili'tn.  Gablw 
uses  the  expression  in  a  letter  wrillfo  ^tanb, 
1610,  in  which  he  describes  his  inrenUon  of  tlM 
telescope.     He  says  :— 

"  t  first  procnred  a  leaden  tabe  (in  orgmn  pipe).  alAt

StowV  authority  for  the  position  of  the  Lollards'

appears  in  the  poMan^e  rfuoled  by  Db.  Sfahkow 
Simpson  from  Strype's  edition  of  the  <Sarwiy, 
which,  v.iltiable  as  it  may  be  in  many  res|>ei:ts,  ia 
a  very  unsafe  book  to  rely  on  for  Stows  own  stirte- 
moQts ;  for  not  outy  are  the  nutinenuia  iulerpola- 
tiona  and  additions  of  Atitony  Munday  and  of 
Strype  himself,  doc  withstanding  the  nuii>^na] 
initials  "  A.  M,"  and  "  J.  S.,"  by  no  means  easily 
diittlnguiahed  in  all  coses  from  the  oriii^iiiitl  text, 
but,  whul  is  far  worse,  Stow's  own  words  are  some- 
times altered  so  as  to  f^ive  u  totally  diffLTcnt  menu- 
ian  to  his  stBtement!!.  Thus  it  in  in  the  possaife 
in  ([uestion,  where  Strype  makes  him  writ*  in  the 
poat  tense,  as  if  the  lniildii>((H  refcrrud  to  were  no 
longer  extant ;  but  Stow  wrote  us  follows  :  "  At 
either  corner  .  ,  ,  u  iiUo,  of  niioivnt  luiildinf;, 
a  stronij  tower  ;  ...  the  one  of  Lhem,  to  wit  next 
the  palace,  is  at  this  pratnt  to  the  use  of  the  same 
palace  ;  the  other  townrda  iho  South  it  ciitleil  the 
Lowlnrds'  Tower."  Of  coume  all  h.ad  diaappejired 
lunjc  before  Strypo'a  time,  so  he  must  needs  adapt 
his  author's  (exl  to  what  he  would  baro  written 
had  he  lived  a  hundred  yeara  later.  The  nmount 
of  mischief  and  confusion  caused  by  such  barbaroun

nod   nn  apostle  on   the  ornamental   pillur-fntiuc 
which  surrounds  the  great  rppreReot^tion  of  the 
bishopn).      Since    the    rewniblnuco    between    the 
Lubeck  and  the  St.  AlbMi's  bra-^e^  (both  of  which 
are  rieniinh)  is  so  olo^e  in  general  design  and  in 
detail  as  to  lead  to  the  supposition  th.Lt  they  are 
both  by  the  sAme  hand,  it  seems  penuiuible  to 
apply  the  same  principle  of  interpretation  to  cor- 
responding portions  of  ench,  nnd  thus  we  arrive 
at  the  conci'j^ioa   th»t  the  liitherto  unideotiBe'.l 
figures  represent  prophets.     Now,  in  Dr.  J.  M. 
Ncale's  AMiirinl  Hymns  and  Stqutncrs,  second 
edit,  p.  LIS,  there  is  given  .1  tuble,  taken  from 
medisval  sources,  of  tne  apostlca  and  propheta, 
arranged  in  pairs,  by  refereooe  to  which  the  par- 
ticnlar  prophet  associated   with  .-iny  one  of  the 
npo<4tlrs  can  at  once  be  ascertained  ;  and  by  its 
help  wc  lind  St.  John  the  Rrnn^elixt  coupled  with 
Daniel,  St.  Andrew  with  David,  St.  Thomas  the 
Apo«tkt  with  Hosco,  St.  Jnrae«  the  Ore;it  with 
Isaiah,  Sr.    Harthotomew  with    IliiggaJ,  and    St. 
Philip  with  Joel.     Thus,  if  my  method  of  inter- 
pretation be  correct,  the  puzzle  may  be   looked 
upon  OS  solved.  K.  E.  Llotd.

The  Pavior'b  "  Hon."— It  used  to  be  stated 
in  elementary  works  on  natural  philotmphy  nnd 
aniDinl  mechimics,  that  when  a  man  by  n»in(!; 
violent  niusciitar  exertion  compressed  his  chest, 
the  air  being  thus  suddenly  forced  out  through 
Ui«  larynx  cjinwd  him  to  cry  out  involuntarOy 
AM,  or  hah;  and  it  was  aaid'that  pavinrs,  when 
at  work  with  their  rams,  ilhintnttod  this,  liint 
paviora  when  at  work  did  this  is  rertnin.  Thomas 
i>aff'ett,  ia  hia  poem  entitled  Thr  Paria't  iSm;, 


set  by  Mr.  Marsh,  junior,  1670,  proves  by  tie 
cbonis  that  the  paviars  in  Charles  JL'a  time  dii 
it.     The  words  ore  : — 

"  With  fnUilonble  Potts

But  let  '■  drink  c'r  we  go,  let  ui  drink  c'r  v«  gv." 

And  Gay,  in  Trivia,  1715,  said  fbk.  i.  line  13):—

of  the  German  saying  that   "  noise    1

acqmuntaDce,  and  I  clo  not  feel  competent  to 
answer  it  decisively.  I  describe  the  piece  to  the 
best  of  my  ability  as  follows:— Obverse,  head  of 
Charles  IL,  bowi|{Ked  and  belaurelled,  looking  to 
right ;  Iczend,  cakulvs  .  ii  .  usi .  uhatia  ;  toouDg 
mund  edge.  Reverse,  the  shields  of  England, 
France,  Soollttnd,  and  Iculaml,  Hrrooged,  aa  id  oor 
t[)od«ru  florin,  in  form  of  a  Maltese  oroos,  each 
shield  crowned  ;  In  the  anglefl  between  tbt  ibitldB 
a  monogram,  two  c'b  interlaced  ;  legend,  hag  .  bb. 
FitA  .  ET  .  JiiB  .  REX  .  1S76.  {N.B.— There  is  no 
Fidti  Le/auor,  which,  noder  the  circumstanOMu 
was  perhups  ns  well.)  No  tooling  round  edge,  and 
no  sign  of  any.  The  cirmiuiferonco  of  the  coin  is 
not  milkil  :  it  bcurs  io  raised  letters  the  following 
inscription:— DKCvs  .  et  .  TVTAuas  .  AlflfO 
HEtisi  .  vicESisio  .  OCTAVO.  The  piece  is  in  excel- 
lent pre«ervj.tiiju  ;  better  preserved,  indeed,  than 
uiD3t  of  the  current  ooitis  of  Gvorge  III.  and 
George  IV.  The  lettering  is  i>crfect,  tbe  prciHIe  of 
the  king's  head  ^liitrp  and  c;Iear,  and  almost  every 
detjiil  of  thc!  tihields  quite  distinct.  So  bright  and 
modern-looking,  indued,  is  this  coin  of  Charles  II. 
that  it  hiis  actu.<klty  been  in  currencty  during  the 
present  year.  Its  owner  received  it  as  a  crown 
piece  in  changing  a  sovereign,  she  cannot  remember 
where,  and  found  it  In  her  purae  at  the  end  of  a 
day's  shopping.  A.  J.  &L

tried  everytliing  recommendetl  that  ottered,  a 
reuaonable  cliance  of  clcuniog  and  restoring  pic-

write  a  few  lines  upon  this  subject.  Mii.  Bbido- 
MAx's  advice  is  excellent.  He  should,  however, 
have  bad  his  remark  as  to  the  dniiger  of  water

the  care  of  pictures.  The  advico  of  J.  R,  is  also 
good  ;  but  aa  to  the  application  of  Florence  nr  any

until  it  is  removed  the  snrface  will  always  bo

As  it  hi\3  been  my  ;;ood  fortune  to  hira  paid 
a  visit  to  an  expert  in  the  use  of  the  willov  rod, 
the  results  of  my  vi^it  m;iy  be  interei<ling.  The 
man  wa^  an  intelliL'eot  and  well-to-do  foremun  iit 
some  gA't-works.  Ho  procoede«l  to  cut  u  forked 
branch  of  willow  aboat  an  inch  below  the  fork. 
Holding  very  loosely  tbe  ftle&drr  brnncheM,  one  in 
each  band,  be  so  placed  his  bands  that  the  apex  of 
the  fork  painted  towards  tho  f;round.  lie  tbon 
walked  slowly  abijut  his  garden,  and  whenever  tho 
angle  of  the  fork  tl>fw  up  he  dtwiiired  that  a  ^printi 
of  water  would  be  found  under  that  Kpot.  Uv 
could  not  tell  how  deep  one  would  h.nve  to  go,  and 
admitted  th:it  sometimes  they  bad  not  been  ahU  to 
go  doii*n  dttp  enough  (o  Jind  it.  He  told  roe  that 
a  piece  of  metal  woald  act  on  the  rod  in  the  same 
wny  as  n  spring  did,  and  that  he  bad  iir>mctimeH 
come  across  an  old  piece  of  iron  instead  of  a.  spring. 
A  penny  or  hiilfpoony  would  aUo  affect  the  rod. 
So  I  put  a  penny  under  ono  of  three  hats,  and 
lukcd  him  to  find  out  by  the  rod  under  which  hat 
the  penny  vnu.  Ue  was  as  often  wmncr  an  he  wan 
rights  but  he  always  maiotained  whenever  tbe  roil 
tlew  up  over  the  wrou>;  bat  that  there  mast  be 
some  metal  under  the  sur&ce  of  tho  ground  or  else 
a  apring. 

After  half-an-bonr'ft  careful  inv«itigalion  I  came 
to  the  conclusion  that  self-dpoepliim  wm  at  the 
bottom  of  tbe  atfair.    I  found  that  the  rod  flew  up 


in  my  own  hands  ns  readily  as  in  his,  aod  thai 
AJraoAt  imperceptible  idtcrelion  in  the  po^ilioD< 
the  bands  woa  all  that  was  necctUAiy  to  ouike: '

T^et  any  one  try  it  thns  ;  hold  th<>  two  bnjif 
of  the  fork  as  loosely  as  pouible  ahont  fur  iadMil 
from  the  angle.     At  tlrat,  one  points  r.**-r  ^^-^ 
shoulder ;  tbeo,  without  clenchiofii  tbv 
iho  bands  till  tho  backs  are  towards  ti  '

panning  alluiiion  to  the  indi({eDou8  name  of  the

have  pronounced  'Afifiox'^'^Tos  with  au  initial  F. 

We  know  that  in  the  nyllibii:  alphabet  of  the 

C^priou  the  dignninia  wna  Tacalized  similarly  to 

the  n*t  of  the  oooBonanta,  but  its  exact  poeition  in 

nljtion  to  classical  Greek  has  scarcely  been  Dscer- 

.teioed  US  yet.     Generally  spealuDg,  it  Is  found  to 

Otnwer  to  the  i^iirUui  lenia,  whilst  it  often  occurs 

in    lituntioDS   which   rendt-r   it  tmnlo^oUA    to    the 

t  Arabic  hamzft,  t.ij.  the  genitive  of  BA^lAKYi! 
ia  BAlilAK.HJS.  In  words  which  are  aspirated  in 
otdiooiy  Greek,  it  would  seem  to  correspond  to  the 
initial  i  in  words  belonging  to  other  bntnches  of 
the  Aiyan  fomilj  (couipara  the  Cypriot  To,  Greek  o, 
Swiccrit  lo,  Goth.  w).  Until,  therefore,  an  inscrip- 
tion ia  diMorered  beaxing  the  naioo  of  Aiumoch&e- 


tos,  its  precise  spoiling  in  Cypriot  nuist  be  con- 
sidered a  moot  rmeittion.  It  is  ijuite  possible 
that,  like  its  neighbour  Salamis  the  town  tuny  owe 
ila  namo  to  a  party  of  Phn-niciun  imniigruntfl. 
Amathus,  which  has  never  been  reprodnced  with

(5*  S.  ix.  308  :  X.  51.)— I  waa  present  lost  year  at 
a  farm  io  North  Devon  where  the  curious  old 
custom  of  "  c&Hing  the  nack  "  was  obeerved.  The 
reapers  were  gathered  round  n  pond,  where  they 
sajig  three  timca,  fltst  in  low  tones,  gradually  in- 
eroasing  in  loudnes-t,  the  words  :— 

"  Amack,  amnok,  aniaok. 
We  Imrcn,  vrc  lisTon.  we  hsven, 
Ood  Ben<l  tlio  iiaek." 

After  which  they  all  laughed  itnd  shBtited.  They 
then  retired  to  the  house — not  to  ttupper,  for  the 
ceremony  was  not  yot  over.  Ooe  of  the  party  had 
the  "  nack  "  secreted  on  his  person.  A.  member 
of  the  farmers  family  tried  to  discover  the  pOMesaor 
before  he  entered  the  kitchen  in  order  to  drench 
him,  or,  as  they  said,  "  wet  the  nack,"  with  a 
bucket  of  water.  Fallitig  to  do  this,  the  farmer 
was  obli|;ed  to  supply  a  larger  tpiaotity  of  beer 
than  would  otherwiw  have  been  pi'en  to  each 
individual  after  supper.  The  "  nack  "  is  preserved 
in  the  farmer's  kitchen  for  the  year.     J.  ISuiTU.

The  "  Lactaiiii  Columna  "  in  the  herfa-morkot  of

1730,  waa  placed  at  the  gate  of  llie  Dublin  Found-

of  a  baby  that  was  exposed  in  the  "  foro  olitorio,"

an  earlier  reference  to  "  the  English  Spaw."  In 
which  of  his  works  is  this  passage  to  r>e  found  ? 
The  subsequent  writers  on  "  the  Spaw  "  nre  thus 
enumerated  in  an  old  Uittory  of  Knaresborougk 
(York,  1779)  :  Dr.  Dean  in  1626,  Dr.  Suinhope  in 
1631,  Dr.  French  in  1651,  Dr.  Neale  in  1656,  and 
Dr.  Simpson  in  1668.  It  is  noteworthy  that  Mr. 
Samuel  Powell  of  Harrogate  has  recently  pre- 
sented to  the  Improvement  Commissioners  of  the 
town  a  series  of  boolts,  &c,  numbering  thirty-five 
volumes,  on  the  mineral  waters,  collected  during 
his  life,  in  the  hope  that  the  Commissioners  will 
provide  a  case  for  them  and  draw  up  rules  for  their 
perusal.  This  collection  ou<;ht  to  form  the  nucleus 
of  a  local  library.  John  E.  Bailbt.

The  Scottish  "  MAinES." — In  thnt  not  very 
trustworthy  book  the  Memoirs  of  the  Stmsont 
reference  is  tnnde  (vol.  i.  p.  257)  to  an  Italian 
picture,  dated  1555,  which  was  of  service  to  Dr. 
Guillotin,  and  Sanson  the  executioner  of  the 
Kevolution,  in  planning  the  guillotine.  It  is  there 
stated  : — 

"  The  Italian  cncr&Ting  represented  an  inttrument  of 
execution  cuH^d  tlie  Mnnnnia,  Hliicti  liad  sometimes 
been  used  in  Italy,  piirticulariy  in  Genna,  at  tbe  time  of 
the  eiecution  of  Giuslininiii,  the  fnniouB  conapimtor. 
The  BppHratu!)  was  erected  upon  a  scaffold ;  tlie  axe  was 
placed  between  tno  perpendicular  slip  boards;  the 
culprit  WAS  kneeliti;;.  with  liis  head  on  a  mock,  and  the 
executioner  was  holding  a  rope  wbich  prevented  the  axe 
from  falling.  >liiiui«  information  was  alfO  collected 
concerning  divers  puni^1lments  inflicted  in  Persia,  and 
later  in  Scotland,  but  tbcse  were  inferior  varieties  of 
the  Mannaia." 

In  Alberti'R  Didioiwnj  the  word  "Mannaia"  is 
defined  "coltollo  con  due  manichi,  usato  dal  maestro 
di  giustizia  a  tiipliar  Itx  testa."  The  account  of 
the  engraving  ami  the  definition  of  the  word  in 
the  dictionary  sire  nn  accurate  description  of  the 
*' Maiden,"  as  it  still  pxisls  in  the  Scottish  Anti- 
quarian  Klu^einn.  It  i:<>enis  pretty  clear  that  the 
name  "Maiden,"  applied  to  the  Scottish  instrument 
of  execution,  is  merely  a  corruption  of  the  Italian 
Mannaia,  A.  G.  Reid.

Plodqhino  bt  thk  Horsk's  Tail. — In  the 
heads  of  Articles  of  Peace  proposed  by  the  Irish, 
and  agreed  to  by  Ormnnd,  in  the  year  1649,  the 
twenty-second  is  as  follows  :— "That  the  Acts  for 
prohibiting  ploirivfj  icilh  horses  by  the  tail,  and 
mtmttiy  oatu  in  the  slraic,  he  nulled."  This  drew 
forth  from  Milton  a  severe  remark  (Worktf  vol.  L 
p.  3!t(t,ed.  1753):— 

"Tliat  the  tno-nnd-twent'eth  Article,  more  ridiculous 
than  d&nt>«roiis,  il' dares  in  the  Iriih  a  disposition  not 
only  Bottirli  but  indncible,  and  averse  to  alt  civilitj  and 
amendment ;  that  all  hopes  of  rerormationoF  that  people 
were  forbidden  b.v  their  rejecting  the  ingenuity  of  other 
nations  to  itnproTe  and  wax  mun  civil  hj  a  civilising 
conquest,  ana  preferring  (lietr  own  absuni  and  tavtigo 


customs  before  the  most  convincing  evideooe  of 
and  demonstratioti."

Chaucer.— With  nil  deference,  not  being  s 
Cbimcehan  student,  I  venture  to  draw  attentiM 
to  the  name  "  Geoffrey  de  Chausi,"  occurrineaia

Com.,  V.  335).  The  reference  may  possibly  bi 
useful  to  some  of  your  correspond  entff.

Cdriods  Epitaphs.  —  The  following  epitafib 
were  noted  during  the  proceedings  of  the  Cobj^ 
of  the  British  Archowlogical  Association  hddtf 
Wisbech  and  neighbourhood  in  Augiust  liist. 

1.  In  Leverington  Churchyard,  near  the  mmA 
porch,  on  an  upright  stone,  west  side,  is  inacnbri: 

"  Here  Lyeth  Suunna 
y"  Wife  of  Thomas  Criplin 
in  October  did  Shee  Dye 
att  Fleet  was  Shee  Born 
&  here  Poth  her  Uody  Lye

One  Child  L^eth  at  Newton, 
5  Lyeth  Here.     Etitabetb 
was  y  last  k  I  folloued 
her  with  Sorrow  to  y*  Oraue 
June  y*  'J.9. 1701.  aged  -20  years." 

On  the  east  side  of  the  said  stone  is  inscribed  i— 
"  A  modest  thitifal  Gliild  Lyeth  Here 
who  irits  beloved  of  her  Father  dear, 
be  at  her  Death  did  weep  &  moan 
and  that  in  her  stead  himself  had  Gone. 
But  now  as  holy  David  he  doth  aay 
Since  pleased  God  to  call  my  Child  away, 
Shee  Shall  no  more  hither  Return  to  me 
I  hope  to  meet  in  Joy  Eternally." 

2.  In  the  parish  church,  Croyland  Abbey,  M  ■ 
tablet,  north  side  ; — 

"Beneath  this  place  in  six  foot  in  len^h  agtlut}'

Mans  life  is  like  unto  a  winters  dtj

The  longent  age  but  supps  &  goes  to  bed.

"Pooi.iitG"  Railwat  TRArric. — At  a  teeent 
niilwiijr  tripfftini;  at  the  Cannon  Street  Hotel,  Mr. 
CMXAktu,  M.P.,  said  that  the  directors  were 
"  iiinkin;;  :nT;in(;ementfl  to  pool  the  traffic."  This 
is  to  me  :i  new  term  ;  what  does  it  mean,  and  is 
it  ncc«Nf.'ir}'  or  de^^iruble?  We  all  koow  the  two 
tiif:iiiin(,'H  :it  pnrsent  attached  to  the  word  pool: 
"A  Jake  of  Ktitndin^  water"  (Johnson). 

"  Se«  lie  had  learch'd,  snd  land, 
Yr'ixn  VAtn  orer  fontoi  and  the  Pool 
Atwutii."  Par.  Loit,  ix.  77. 

"Tlif  hUiUi-  plajcfl  for  nt certain  games"  (Webster). 
For  tli'!  Hiiko  of  Tiiilway  travellers  it  is  to  be  hoped 
tliiit  ttm  iiuw  verb  "to  pool"  has  nothing  to  do 
with  t'ithi-r  ntfljjnant  water  or  games  of  chance.

In  the  antumn  of  1828  my  father  pnid  n  visit  to 
Ottery  Sl^  Mary,  and  he  write**  in  his  journal  for 
Sept.  22,  1828,  "  At  Ottery  I  foiuid  an  old  eentle- 
nian  Mr.  Pnlnmn  . . .  and  }>ln.  Viine  ajje-l  lt2  who 
died  4  months  ago  told  Mrs.  Pulmnn  thnt  Cadhny 
got  into  C%aiKery,  and  was  sold  out  of  Chancery 
to  Peere  WUItAros  ;  Here's  a  clue  that  will  dis- 
cover  it " — that  is,  the  ex-ict  nature  of  the  con- 
nexion between  his  own  family  nnd  that  of  the 
Haydons  of  Cadhay.  From  this  piuwrigo  I  think 
it  14  clear  that  my  father  had  never  lit-ard  of  ihe 
Chancery  suit  nntil  be  was  infnrmed  of  it  by  Mrs. 
(or  Mr.)  Piilman  in  1828.  And  the  absence  of  all 
tneulion  of  the  suit  from  the  accounts  1  have 
quoted  above  looki  ver>'  much  as  if  no  other 
(ueniber  of  his  family  knew  anything  aboat  it  up 
to  that  date.  Now.  as  my  patem^  great-gnuia- 
father,  itobcrt  Haydna,  waa  alwiit  two-»nd- twenty 
yearn  of  aj{e  when  Cadhay  was  sold,  it  is  quite 
impnssiUe  Ilwt,  if  there  Imd  been,  we  will  not  say 
ao  clo»e  a  eaanexlon  as  that  averted  by  his  sister, 
but  any  cl(i*e  connexion  at  all,  between  himself, 
bis  brothpr.  aislers,  and  the  Haydons,  possewwrs 
of  ("Lidbay,  he  and  they  should  luivc  been  it;nonint 
of  the  existence  of  the  suit  which  led  to  con- 
fieqnencen  so  itiiportatit.  And  as  31ra.  Fuge, 
Robert  Haydon's  only  Min'iving  daughter,  was  in 
her  twentietli  >'ear  at  the  time  of  liia  deutb,  it  is, 
(u  wiy  Ibf  least,  rather  strange  that  either  he,  bis 
brodler,  or  his  "  genpalogical "  sister  did  not  give 
lit'ran  account  of  the  soeial  position  of  tho  Cadhny 
Haydona  after  tho  sale  of  Cadhay  not  utterly  fidne. 
and  of  the  causes  which  k-d  to  the  *ale  a  lillle 
more  complete  than  that  which  she  communicated, 
merely  :ig  a  ooajecluro,  in  1816,  to  her  nephew. 
They  canout,  uASumiog  I  heir  close  connexion  with 
the  iiarties  to  tho  suit,  have  been  ignorant  of  it 
nor  of  iti  coiuieqneocea ;  and  if  they  ever  knew 
the  truth,  they  cannot  possibly  have  forgnlten  it.

important  estate,  i*  a  great  eveut  in  the  history  of 
a  family,  and  is  talkeil  of  genoratiH^ns  after  iw  ter-

fuHiity  on  the  siibjeol  up  to  1821*,  when  he  evi- 
dently tir't  heard  of  it,  appears  to  me  i«  throw  a 
moer  wrioufl  doubt  on  our  connexion  with  the 
Haydons  of  Cddbny.  But  even  this  doubt  is  less 
Mrious  than  tliot  which  artaea  from  the  mistake 
made  by  liiiu  nnil  others  in  describing  the  Haydons 
of  Cfwibay  as  "  ruined  "  by  the  "  spending  of  tho

cftiue  Rector  of  Pprmo-UthDoe  (Coraw.).  Ihon

It  is  eiwy  to  seo,  from  the  firet  of  the  paseAses 
•aboTO  giTen,  which  is  due  to  Mrs.  Fuye.  now  the 
ruin  thoory  origin-ited,  and,  from  the  other?,  bow 
it  grew.  Mrs.  luge's  surmue  that  the  *'  mtftle 
must  hivve  been  spent,"  because  my  father's  paternal 
Krundfuther,  bcin^  the  son  of  a  possessor  of  it,  was 
^' put  out  BO  enrly  in  life,"  is  reasonable  enough, 
assuming  her  niinc'ti  )ttat«iiiciit  to  be  correct.  But 
the  two  toj^ether  wrtj\inly  reniirrt  one  sUghtlv  of 
the  fiiuious  nr^^uient  for  the  exi.<ilenc«  of  pHnufise:

of  it!  Gideon  Huydgn's  estate  mutt  hare  been 
■con  spent,  because  Kobert  Huydon  tctu  his  son 
and  i»aa  "put  oiit  so  wirly  in  life."     Mrs.  Fu;;e's 


or  any  other  possessor  of  Ciidhny  was  the  fiuher  of 
Sobert  Hnydou,  and  Robert  and  his  brother  and 
aistcrs  wer«  etich  "put  out  early  in  life  to  team  a

a  parent  unable  or  unwilling  to  do  anything  better

ceivable explanations  of  his  eonduct.  But,  m  I 
huve  already  ahuvrn,  neither  the  Inxt  poMMSor  of 
Okdhay  nor  any  of  bis  prerfecessnrs  had  any 
children  iJentifinble  with  John  and  Kobert  Uav- 
don,  the  two  ^parUh  clerks,  the  RTandfuther  and 
|(randuncle  of  my  father  ;  so  that  the  "  ruin  "  theory 
is  B»  unncceaaary  a»  it  is  cnlirely  false.  It  was 
eviJently  first  suggested  by  Mrs.  Fugo,  and  simply 
a.s  an  att«mpt  to  reconcile  her  aunt'a  statement 
with  the  low  swial  position  of  ber  father's  ftimily  in 
early  life.  Inalettcrto  mcono  of  Kobert  Havdon'a 
pranddaiightera  snys: — "I  have  heard  my  mother 
[Mrs.  Fugp]  speiak  of  ao  aunt  of  hcD  being  much 
interested  on  IW  subject  [«f  the  pwligree  of  her 
fitniily],  and  talking  to  n>y  grandfather  [Robert 
HayJou]  abotit  the  estate  of  Cndhay,  but  be  did 
not  care  much  aboQt  it."  The  ('adhay  story  there- 
fore did  not  come  from  him.  I  propose  in  oiy 
next  coniinuiiication  to  show  how  T«y  father  dealt 
with  the  resulu  of  his  searches  at  Ottery  St.  Maiy 
in  1828.  FaA!tK  Scorr  Uaydov.

Apphia,  whether  she  was  the  wife  of  FhilemoD,  ai 
somo  of  the  Fathers  held,  or  his  sister,  bore  a  Dame 
indicating  either  her  immediate  or  maternal  foreigs 
origin.  Supposing,  however,  thiil  this  theory  hf 
not  accepted,  wo  have  yet  to  cngider  others,  whick 
world  tmee!  the  name  to  different  but  emiidly  Dnsi 
Hellenic  sources.  The  late  De.an  Alfnrd  (t.t 
"Apphia"  in  Smith's  Wc(.  of  (he  Bihle)  a4>emtV 
have  considered  no  view  save  that  which  ass: 
th:it  'Affi^t'o  was  "a  Greek  form  of  the 
Appia,  written  Afrrta  in  Acts  xxrili,  IC 
the  dogmatic  statement,  which  here  secuia  to  b# 
made,  concemlDg  an  occurrence  of  the  name  Appluit 
under  the  fona  of  Appia,  is  not  home  out  by  facli. 
The  words  in  the  passage  cited  are'Aira-i'oi'+tiywii 
and  they  indicate  not  the  apostle's  "  beloved 
Apphitt,"  but  the  town  Appii  Fonuu.  This  dt»- 
tion,  therefore,  miiy  he  dismiiacd  from  our  miadi. 
It  iff,  of  courBC,  Htill  possible  that  Appbiii  may  be 
a  Orvck  fnnu  of  the  Latin  Ajijtvi,  but  we  auool 
support  that  theory  by  a  referenoc  to  Acts  xxviii, 
15.  There  is,  however,  yet  another  possible  "^urre 
for  the  name,  though  to  my  mind  not  no  probable 
as  the  Latin  ot  Lycian  sources.  It  will  be  fonad 
that  Aphia  occurs  among  the  forefathers  of  King 
Saul  (1  Sam.  ix.  1),  and  the  root,  signifying  finn- 
neaa  or  teaacity,  and  written  io  Greek  'AsU'k,  ii 
found  as  the  name  of  seversl  pUce-'  "  T'  i.-i-r.. 
I  think  I  may  say,  as  the  sum  of  m 
of  the  nuestion,  that  three  diHVrcni  ,    _ 

theinsf'lve.t  to  view  for  the  origin  of  tiiw  ii.iiu<  ti 
Appbin,  vh.  lAttn,  Lycian,  and  Hebrew.  Of  thfle 
three  I  incline  to  think  that  the  probahililiM  «■ 
in  favour  of  the  Lyciun  theory,  but  ]  sliouUW 
glad  to  SCO  further  argument  in  support  of  ^Afl 
of  the  other  theories.      C,  H.  E,  CAtuticHACk 

The  hlstoiy  of  this  name  is  simply  that  it  I* 
a  form  of  the  Latin  AjfpuXj  and  it  is  rendeffd 
Appia  in  the  Vulgate*.    As  to  what  it  niennii  1  "iU

Dr.  Cmas.  Wm.  Weti.9  (fi""  S.  x.  268.)— Dr. 
ITelU  lived  and  died  in  Serjeaala'  Inn.  His 
Aulobio^ttljhy  was  printed  in  1818,  and  a  good 
oliitiLiry  notice  is  to  be  found  in  the  Ofntieman'/ 
Mti^iz%nt  for  November,  iyi7,  pp.  467-71  ;  in 
both  uf  these  there  are  lista  of  his  publicatioDs. 
His  K—njton  [fr.\t>  n-as  printed  in  1614  ;  the  first 
rditiun  wna,  I  believe,  Nniull,  and  copies  of  it  nre 
Boi  eoDinion.  1  am  by  no  means  anxious  to  put 
forward  Dr.  AVclU's  el:iim  to  be  called  a  martyr  to 
*civnce.  but  I  cnnnot  admit  that  his  death  was  like 
Uui  r.f  ••  I.  .-<,(, iLi-r  who  dies  in  his  stall."  Strictly 
*t*  '  i^  innrlyr  iv  one  who  seals  his 

ui'.!.  .  1  :   oiiv  who,   having  home 


testimony  to  what  he  believes  to  b«  true,  is 
willingly  put  to  death  mther  than  recant.  The 
working  man  who  laboura  to  live,  and  must  con- 
tinue  to  do  m  or  go  to  the  workhouse,  diee  in  his 
shi)p  like  A  horse  in  barnevs ;  but  this  was  by 
no  nieana  tbe  ease  with  Dr.   Wella.     He  was  u 

Ehj-sidan  in  fnll  work,  who,  though  in  feeble 
ealth,  f^m  pure  love  of  science  devoted  all  his 
leisure,  especially  that  which  he  stole  bom  bis 
proper  nii^htly  rest,  to  phyaical  investigntioiu.  He 
was  warned  that  if  he  pereevered  his  life  would 
probably  be  the  forfeit,  ami  with  full  knowledge  of 
the  rtisk  he  ran  ho  continued  his  rctccarchcs,  tiU  be 
hud  worked  out  nnd  established  the  truth  of  his 
theory  of  dew.  There  is,  I  think,  no  doubt  but 
that  Dr.  Wells  materitdly  shortened  his  life  by 
thus  devoting  himself  to  thew  investigations,  and 
he  de!ier\-c»  high  tionour  for  the  unselfish  manner 
in  which  he  thuti  laboured  in  the  oiute  of  science. 
A  cobbler  whodicA  in  his  stall  works  to  the  last  for 
liifl  daily  bread  because  be  haa  no  choice ;  the 
martyr  for  his  faith  dies  aX  tbe  stake  because  he 
eatccniB  wh-it  he  believes  to  be  more  precious  than 
life,  and  Dr.  Wells  voluoUirily  gave  up  part  of  his 
life  iu  elucidating  nn  important  class  of  muurnl 
phenomena.  Tbe  man  who  spends  his  life  in 
tulvicnciug  human  knowledge  surely  stands  in  a 
dilTtfrent  cbuut  from  him  who  spends  his  life  simply 
in  earning  food  for  hinuelf.       Edwabd  Sollt.

Mayhrv:  is  near  the  truth  but  hopelessly  outaide 
it.  Moceas:  there  nre  many  references  to  this 
place  in  the  Liber  Landavcntis  as  Mochrai,  par- 
ticniarly  in  connexion  with  the  life  of  St.  Dubricius. 
The  WeUh  legend  of  the  connexion  of  pigs  with 
the  place  ia  virtually  the  Hame  as  that  in  connexion 
with  pigs  and  a  vision  of  K'lves  and  the  appropria- 
tion of  tbe  desiretl  Lmrl  for  a  churoJi.  Ac,  at 
Evesham.  An  nogel  nppnixed  to  iSt.  Diibri<uuft  in 
a  drenm  and  said,  "  See  that  thou  on  tbe  monow 
go  nil  round  the  hind  tchich  thou  hast  propaud  and 
chotfti,  and  where  then  wilt  see  a  white  sow  lying 
with  her  pigs,  there  lay  a  foundation  and  build  in 
the  name  of  the  Holy  Trinity  a  habiution  and  on 
omlor>'."  The  white  sow  untl  her  voting  pigs  were 
found,  &e. 

In  the  appendix  to  the  lives  of  the  Cfimhro- 
Itritiih  Saints  there  is  ii  note,  and  wi-  r^-od  there  ;

general  of  the  line  so  summoned  to  Parliament  in 
error.  The  decision  of  the  llonse  of  Lords  in 
1767,  awarding  the  barony  to  the  elder  branch, 
upon  the  extinction  of  the  younger,  expressly 
declares  that  the  prcvioiis  barons  had  been  placed 
in  possession  of  thi;  honour  "  contmry  to  the  right 
nod  truth  of  the  case."  I  »hall  be  glad  of  the 
opinion  of  corro.spon<lont«  as  to  the  existence  of 
this  second  barony.  The  descendants  of  the  "false 
line  of  lords,"  whose  seat  was  near  Bolton,  are 
somewhat  niimerotis  in  this  locality,  and,  assuming 
the  existence  of  a  barony  in  fee,  the  co-heirs 
general  are  well  known.  W.  D.  Pink.

BAncER  Skiss  csfd  as  Horse  Fubititure. — 
I  have  noticed  in  South  Germany,  on  every 
occasion  wlien  I  have  seen  two  horses  abreast  in 
the  country  waggons,  that  the  horse  on  the 
off  side  has  had  a  badger  skin  fastened  to  the 
hamcs,  and  hanging  down  one  side  of  the 
collar,  wliicli  it  completely  covers  on  that  side. 
I  have  asked  sevenil  Ocrnians  the  use  of  this 
singular  adornment,  but  without  obtaining  any 
more  satisfactory  answer  than  that  it  was  an  old 
custom.  Can  any  of  the  readers  of  "N.  &  Q." 
solve  the  puzzle  for  me,  and  state  the  origin  of  a 
custom  which  is  probably  one  of  considerable 
antiquity!  JoHS  CoRDEAUX.

I  fancy  I  have  sometimes  seen  the  quotation  with 
the  line 

"  Who  ne'er  was  utterly  (leaolate  " 
added  after  the  third   line.      Can  any  of  your

ftnd  kinswomnn  of  tho  ijueen,  married  13.17  (the 
queen  wu  Elecnore  of  ProTeooe,  dnugfaler  of 
Beatrice  of  Savoy). 

Iiittn'4  Cthhrt  Fioniglie  Ilaiianc  she  was  Avit.-*, 
Mertntb  child  and  third  dnuphler  of  TomuRO  I., 
Coaai  of  Savoy,  and  Marguerite  de  FauoiRnj.

Dngdale's  Baronage  she  was  s  relative  of  QoMn

Watson's  Bittary  of  the  EarU  of  IVarrmn*  vnd 
Sumy  she  was  Margaret,  yoangeat  daughter  of 
E.irl  Hnmeline  Plantngenet. 

Burke's  Extinct  Petraye  she  was  Avis,  Uaughltr 
of  the  Eiurl  of  Surrey. 

Theae  are  all  the  references  within  my  reacbjiai 
now,  except  such  as  are  numifestiy  taken  InifD 
these. 

Kow,  Earl  Baldwin  was  bom  Jan.  1.  1  S35i,  and 
married  in  1267.  These  dates,  I  think,  an 
sufficiently  authenticated.  He  h.id  a  son  wvate^i 
John,  who  died  youn^r,  and  in  France,  before  hia 
fiLther.  Margaret  hi-i  wife  died  in  129S,  as  ahowa 
by  her  inqaisition.  If  she  were  John's  motlnr  wa 
are  driven  to  the  following  oooclnsiona  : — 

1.  She  was  not  Murgaret  or  Mnry,  daughter  dT 
Enrl  Hnuielinc  of  Surrey,  since  he  died  ui  130S, 
and  she  would  thus  be  at  least  fifty-five  OB  btr 
marriage  and  ninety  at  her  death. 

2.  She  was  not  named  Aiis,  AvitA,  or  ATaya* 
but  MnfRiirct. 

3.  She  wad  not  Avitaor  Avoyaof  Savoy  nor  b« 
yonii^'er  sist^-r  Murgnrito,  for  the  probable  datee  of 
birth  of  these  prinoes^^ea,  at  the  latest,  were  ISQl 
aud  1S04,  and  the  Utter  died  in  1Sf^.1. 

But  now  comes  the  qnesUon,  "Was  Baldwin 
twice  married,  (1)  in  1207  to  AviUi  "*  >3'.v,,v  snd 
(2)  very  soon  after  (for  he  died  in  i.'  I  ff- 

Raret,  who  was  his  son's  mother?  i  ,  lun 
to  be  the  truth,  and  I  should  be  glad,  as  wfeUas 
Mil,  Ri.wEs,  to  have  any  light  thrown  on  the 
qitefitinn  who  this  Margaret  was.  Is  there  any 
real  evidence  that  she  was  d.iught<r  of  any  Eatlef 
Surrey  i  It  must,  I  think,  in  that  case  ban  ~ 
William,  the  sixth  earl,  son  of  Earl  Bami  '" 

It  may  be  well  to  add  that,  judging 
laocu-ige  of  the  inquisition,  Murj^'arct  npoean 
to  have  been  the  moihcr  of  Isabel  BaraoU^

"Tam  Martb  (or  SIatiti)  qdam  Mircueio" 
{b^  S.  X.  2C9.)— In  the  Dictionary  of  Latin  (^ko- 
tations,  Froixrhf,  and  Fkriuet,  published  by  Bohn, 
this  expression  is  marked  as  "Proverb."  There 
are  two  very  similar :  "  Tam  Marte  qiiam  MinerTj'i 
(As  much  by  counifje  as  by  wisdom) ;  Tam  Mnrti 
quam  Mcrcnrio  (E-pially  qualified  for  war  and 
for  diulomacy)."  It  is  a  sad  pity  that  references 
to  anttioritic-R  are  not  given  in  this  book.  The 
simple  mention  of  the  name  of  an  author  of  n 
quotation,  though  often  very  satisfactory,  would 
he  much  more  ralnable  if  there  were  a  reference 
to  the  whereabouts  in  the  author's  works. 

I  maat  leave  it  to  othen  to  poinb  out  the  euly 


use  of  the  proverb,  but  I  met  with  it  ccce  in  a 
possajre  which  will  serve  to  illustrate  its  :::e  azd 
meaning.

An  ArrnoR's  Name  Wasted  (5^  S.  x.  327.)— 
The  "  name  wanted "  is  Parsons  or  Pcnons. 
Robert  Parsons  was  a  celebrated  Jesuit  in  the 
reign  of  Elizabeth,  and  was  bom  at  Ketber  Stowey, 
near  Bridgewater,  being  the  son  of  a  hhick^mith. 
He  was  educated  at  Balliol  College,  Oxford,  and 
was  the  author  of  nuiticrous  controrenial  and 
other  works,  amongst  which  was  "A  Trtatiicof 
the  Three  Vonrentious  of  England  from-  PaQ-mim 
to  Christian  Jidiijion,  by  K.  D.  (XichoLis  Dolf- 
man,  aZias  Parsons),  imprinted  1603-i,  3  ToK' 
designed  in  answer  to  Fox,  whom  he  profe-is^ 
opposes  throughout  the  greater  part  of  his  sev 
and  third  volnmea  (wo  Eose,  or  XicolsoD, » 
Lowndes,  or  Watt).  Not  having  u  copy  I  canBlA

The  Treatise  of  the  Three  Converswns  of  S»t 
land  is  in  three  parts,  and  has  three  distinct  title- 
pages.  The  first  is  dated  1603,  and  the  third 
1604,  with  no  name  of  place  or  printer.  The  l>«st 
account  of  Parsons  and  his  writings  is  still,  I  be- 
lieve,  that  In  Wood's  .J  ffienff,  Bliss's  edition.      _      I 

The  title-pages  are  very  long,  and  the  book  ii 
too  well  known,  I  think,  to  make  it  advisable  to 
print  them  io  full.  C.  Elliot  BROinrE.

bcliere  this  Is  only  the  second  instanc*  in  which  I 
have  conjectured  a  misprint.  If  niv  not  over- 
court«oas  opponent  is  enlitld  to  denounce  a* 
"saoiilefte'*  nil  doubts  of  the  infiillibility  of 
Messrs.  neniingo  snd  Condeli's  printer^,  I  aU 
eqQHlly  jnslitied  in  regarding  hie  implicit  faith  is 
them  as  a  superstition.  If  be  can  seo  nothing  in 
verbal  criticism  but  a  "  word-pecking  tuania,"  and 
if  a  conjecture  (guarded  in  its  objects  as  mine  wx*} 
h  unintprentinj,'  to  him,  his  remedy  is  to  let  it 
idiine,  and  not  to  shut  bis  eyes  to  a  difTiculiy  and

answer  would  bare  been  nppiicaVile,  tbotigh  quite 
unnecessary.  It  does  not  touch  the  difficulty 
wliich  t  pointed  out—  that  the  compariKio  h 
between  the  degrees  of  eartlilinww  of  tbcirhippt- 
neu,  and  that  the  more  earthly  happioen  is 
assumed  to  bo  the  pre/enible  state.  It  would  lie

spuhen  of  at  the  more  earthly  and  the  cloJHter  We 
M  the  more  heavenly  faappincso,  but  this  is  a  dis- 
linotion  which  utterly  fiiifn  iu  the  cnmparifoo  of 
the  distillfil  and  wiiheicd  roHes.  lo  wIiicD  only  the 
word  "  earthlier  "  relates.  If  bo  oatinot  eee  this,  I

miserly,  like  Ebecexer  Scrooge,  or  cnuted  lo 
seclusion,  likv  the  U^iunted  Mun.  Od  the  vbole, 
therefore,  wc  begin  to  think  that  the  mischief  done 
by  Charles  Dlckeas's  Otrisfm'U  Carol  bus  now  out- 
weighed thu  good,  idthoujjh  this  evil  n-sult  was  in 
no  respect  according  to  bi«  own  de*ipe.  For  nioro 
than  a  month  the  aatnmalia  holds  its  course,  nad 
already  the  penumbra  nf  the  meUnchoIr  cclipoe 
uiay  bo  uud  to  huvo  d&rk«c«d  our  rural  homes. 
Personally,  it  is  not  to  ourwlvfs  a  sore  alflictioo, 
for  we  are  of  a  well-baknced  sort,  and  never  allow 
fooU  or  rogues,  or  €ven  tax-gather«ra,  to  seriously 
uifi'ct  u<t.  If  Bomctimo*  a  horrible  dread  of  the 
recurririi^  feHival  makeei  itself  felt,  it  ir  inatanlly 
dismiased  under  the  reuicmbrance  th/it  life  is  ib{>rt, 
and  therefore  that  we  cannot  bo  for  ever  exposed 
to  the  invasion  of  noisy  muninien>,  "  Christoms 
bampen"  (speoilutor*'  tricks,  followed  up  by 
"uconuatA  rendered"  fur  gcvitds  thai.  Wvre  never 
ordered),  archiepiscnpnl  and  episcopal  circuIarK 
rp^uenting  coUections  to  be  made  for  ('urates'  Aid 
(with  such  private  luiiniif^emcDl  of  the  funds  :is  the 
newspapers  have  lately  revealed),  or  any  of  the 
othi'r  "miseries  of  human  life'  which  ore  closely 
connected  witli  Cnirfstma--*  iuiprovidi'nce.* 

Not  that,  for  nno  moment,  wc  wonld  repretw 
gsouine  mirth  or  be(rrud|;'e  the  toilers  a  brief  day 
or  week  of  relaxation.  We  admit,  with  our  old 
friend  William  B«ll  Scott,  in  one  of  bis  bcnutifal 
but  Huppre&sed  wonets  ("  written  in  ill  health  ''J, 
that 

"  Mo«t  suro  tb«  rnln 
That  an  indiffareut  and  vxiKtlnx  world

ATnlkndi  mo  kotidayt,  kre  cnauKb  atronE

But  the  (uctitioiL'4  revelry  of  our  present  Christmis- 
tido  ii  certainly  over-done,  prolonged  to  exceas, 
and  becoming  u  nuisance  to  (piiet  people.  Yet  the 
evil  of  meeting  Chrtstuioe  half-way  is  not  a  now 
thing.  Wo  find  it  nuvrked  as  the  recurtnng  burden 
of  one  of  Fran<;ais  Villon's  ditttea  in  the  fifteenth

"IVEi.rm  NinnT,"  Act  i.  »c  3,  l.  135  (6^ 
S.  X.  2,  182.)— Dr.  Nicholsos  mikes  three  objoo* 
tions  to  lay  interprcUUoQ  of  this  mssage.  The  ant 
is  that  Muriu  i^  sowberc  else  culled  Mnl,  Mistren 
Mill,  or  Moll.  She  is  sevcml  limes  caller!  "  Mislress 
Miiry,"  nad  once  (Act  ii,  »c.  3,  1.  14)  nhe  is 
ft^Hresxed  as  "  Manan,"  nnleM  Dr.  KicnoLSOK 
ahoiiM  persuade  us  that  because  this  Q&uie  is  only 
used  once  it  must  refer  to  some  other  person. 
Could  Lot  some  ingeotons  reason  be  found  forcoa- 
nectiBK  it  with  the  Muid  Marian  of  the  Robin 
Ilood  Tj[illad9  ?  I  fail  to  perceiire  what  my  conten- 
tion thnt  M.-iII  fd  cqiiiv-atent  to  Maria  tuu  to  do 
with  the  confusion  of  the  dnimatic  with  the  historic 
.Sir  John  F.-ililaff,  which  aoems  to  me  more  aenrly 
parnlH  to  the  identiQciition  of  Miiitren  Mali  witn 
t)ie  hiHtoric  Mary  Frith.  If  I  have  sbowu,  us  I 
contpflj  1  have,  that  Msmcs  Mary,  and  Mall 
represent  one  name,  it  would  have  be<^n  the  name 
thitiij  to  our  present  argument  if  the  text  hod 
stooil  "MistiVM  Mary's  picture":  and  there  is 
110  reiwon  for  introdticirtjj  .Mary  Frith,  or  noy  other 
notorioua  Mar}-,  Mall,  or  Moll,  when  n  plnin  and 
natural  mcnain}(  can  be  found  by  Ireiitiuf;  the 
phrase  as  referring  to  ono  of  tho  cbnrneters  w  Uu 
play. 

Secondly,  ho  objectn  to  my  speakins  of  Maria  u 
"Olivia's  KPi'ilf '>'^''*''i'' •'"i<l  *"'>■*  "be  wa«  only  a 
pbnMibpnn»id.  Modern  editors  dtjioribe  her  as 
"Olivia's  woman";  btit  ns  the  foliot  contain  no 
description  of  the  drtimatin  pmomr,  we  mast 
collect  her  characier  from  Iho  play  itself.  Sir 
Toby  dreii  once  (Act  i.  sc.  3,  1.  54)  ifpcak  of  her  OS 
his  iiieoe'ft  nhiuuber-iHuid,  but  the  term  is  not  to 
bo  rnnfounded  with  a  modern  hiniwmaid.  Olivia 
herself  dwcribis  her  by  the  very  term  I  used,  and 
(Act  L  se.  5, 1.  172)  directa  Mnlvolio  t«  "call  in 
licr  Rentk'woiimn,"  and  in  the  next  line  he  accord- 
inscly  nddrci«.ie8  Maria,  "  (Jentlewoinan,  my  Isdy 
calls'-"  She  i.t  a  cantidential  personal  attendant. 
In  the  scene  last  ([uoted  she  announces  Viola, 
who  on  her  introduction  a^kn  which  of  the  two 
is  the  lady  of  the  house ;  renuins  present  at 
the  conference  until  Viola  doclarM  that  her 
message  ia  for  no  eats  bul  OVW«v*-,  «k\*s*^S!Oa.

a  ponitiuD  as  tbis  in  ii  s^mtt  hoiiflcbolil  in  Sbnke-

of  gentb  hirih  of  either  sex  ;  and  even  the  tcrui

gndioii  idea  any  more  than  that  of  hidy  of  Ui(>

a  few  SGoleDces  after  be  buH  been  introduced  to  her 
in  that  cnpaoity,  nddroMM  ber  an  '*  fair  lady."  A 
lady  in  the  position  of  Maria  miuht  well  have  her 
portrait  ptunted,  and  would  proli;ib]y  have  her  own 
sitting- raom,  to  which  she  might  allow  ncc»s  to 
Sir  Toby  and  his  friend,  while  iiflbrding  theni  (as 
she  Bwriw  to  litwe  had  il  in  her  powt-r  t«  do)  those 
meunn  nf  riotmis  indulgence  refused  by  Ibe  precise 
Malvolio.  That  it  wim  a  "piibljcroom"  (whatever 
niay  be  oieunt  by  tbe  term)  is  nn  lusjinniption  not 
warranted  by  ibc  text,  nor  ia  there  much  more 
evidence  thai  Sir  Andrew  had  never  been  in  it 
before.  Whether  he  had  or  hiid  not  is  quite  iiii- 
maleriid,  for  it  is  not  be  but  Sir  Toby,  »n  iniimle 
of  tlie  hou<e,  who  alludes  to  the  uictiire,  anil  the 
fact  of  its  banting  before  them,  tnoujih  ir  wuuld

argument.  But  it  is  objecteii,  *'  It  cjiarnt  be 
shown  tbiLt  Maria  ever  bad  her  portntit  titken." 
If  we  arc  content  to  accept  the  plain  RODite  of 
Slinkespeare's  words,  it  can  be  nhown  in  ihe  Rame 
ujudner  aa  it  can  be  shown  thiil  Sir  Toby  hiut 
straps  to  hi»  booix,  iintiiely,  from  the  f«ct  of  hi«

but  the  bootfl  are  only  mentioned  ouce,  like 
Mistress  Mull's  picture. 

Thirdly,  he  ronmderK  the  patwuge  to  refer  to  an 
nncovered  picture,  and  interpolaten  in  brackets 
some  words  to  support  that  conclunion.  If  such 
aids  to  the  senw  l>c  necessary,  I  should  supply 
theni  thus  : — "Wherefore  have  these  gifts  a  curtain 
before  Ihem  ?  Are  they  like  to  take  du»t  like 
Mistress  Mali's  picUirc  [when  expose*!]  i"  Op  the

take  dust  on  exposure  i  "  It  iteemB  to  me  that  the 
allnsioo  is  to  a  cnrtaineil  picture,  without  which 
the  CDUipfirisun  to  it  of  the  wDccaled  gifts  of  Sir 
Andrew  Agii«.'he*ik  would  be  luiinenning.  A  pic- 
ture exposed  in  a  broker'R  window  is  neither  more 
nor  I«8B  "  like  to  take  dust "  than  any  other  object 
ia  the  shop. 

Lastly,  Jie  seeks  to  Biipporl  his  portion  by  the 
authority  of  a  contemporary  tale  to  which  he 


forgets  bis  reference.    It  is  n  ctiriotu  Invtaoc* '

Such  being  the  character  of  the  banks  "  which

aud  to  see  what  ioterest  she  could  have  in  the

watershed  scoring  the  breaat  of  the  hill ;  which 
action  the  prudent  owner  hiin  auppleinentecl  by  the 
Lkboor  of  the  pioner  or  drainer  with  his  pipcii  and 
tiles,  both  to  prevent  the  surface-water  from  dis- 
persiDK  over  the  land,  and  to  lead  the  under- 
ground springs,  which  otherwise  would  soon,  by 
ooDTertiDg  it  to  a  bo(;,  destroy  its  fertility,  into 
the  lame  channels  or  conduits. 

Hamlet  (Act  i,  sc.  5}  calla  the  mole  "a  worthy 
sioneer,"  and  if  a  further  authority  is  wante<i 
beyond  "  Pionnier,  a  pioner  or  miner "  {Cotgrave 
and  Howell),  here  it  is  : — 

"  Like  u  if  ono  hare  a  Sloyne  of  Copprr,  Tinnc  or

I  derive  pioncd,  then,  from  this  preliminary 
work  of  trenching  the  ground,  and  Iwillfd  from 
Fr.  tvyatt  ("a  pipe, .  ,  .  canell,"  Cot^r.),  through 
its  EngliBh  form  teiccU,  a  funnel  (Chaucer,  //.  of 
Pami,  iii.  659),  the  layinrj  of  which  conipletcs  the 
system  of  draina^'e.  That  such  operations  were 
Bot  unknown  to  our  ancestors  may  be  neen,  and 
their  methods  studiod  at  lar;;?,  in  a  curious  book 
of  the  lime.  The  Kn'jlhh  Imjironcr,  or  a  Xew 
Sturei/  of  IhisUnidry,  by  Walter  Blith,  l(i4!), 
when  the  reclaiming  by  these  means  of  marshy 
grocnd,  to  which  the  lowest  spur^  of  mountains 
are  peailinrly  liable,  is  strciDfjly  urjjed.  Tuilf,

beard  the  List,  I  hope,  of  peonies  and  lilies  growing 
OB  the  brims  of  river-banks. 

What  the  "  cold  nymphs'  chaste  crowns  "  were 
to  be  made  of  we  may  learn  from  Perdita  {IFiiit. 
AIf,ir.  3),  who  thus  addresses  tlienistic  maidens: 

"  I  wonld  I  had  lotne  flnwera  of  the  spring,  tlmt  might

i.e.  maidenhood ;  and  after  cnumeratinj;  them —

All  these,  be  it  observed,  are  April-blooming 
flowen,  and  such  a  bank  as  I  have  suegested,  or 
another  so  happilv  painted,  MvU.  N.  Dream,

(where,  by-the-bye,  Dr.  Niciiolson'h  hawthorn 
blossoms  could  scarcely  ever  be  ready  for  gather- 
ing before  mid-May)  certainly  would  not  be  ;  but 
then  I  consider  that  it  is  the  banks,  nob  their 
brims,  which  are  to  furnish  tho  crowns.  Brims 
sounds  oddly  as  signifying  margins,  borders.  Yet 
Shakspearo  {Lear,  iv.  1)  talks  of  "  tho  very  brim 
of"  Dover  cliff,  so  wo  may  well  accept  it  here  for 
an  edge  or  boundary.  Vixckst  S.  Leax.

HoMEK  :  Cansibalism. — In  my  note  on  the 
signs  of  cannibalism  in  the  Ili^d  {luite,  p.  183)  I 
omitted  Hecuba's  wish  to  gnaw  the  liver  of 
Achillea : — 

TO?  tyti)  jueo-ov  lyTTct/i  t^^oiju 
'^trOi/ievat  jrpfnr<l>vini.  xxiv.  212. 

She  is  ;nore  definite  than  Achilles,  who  wishes  he 
could  bring  himself  to  eat  Hector  cut  up  and  raw. 
Hecuba  desires  only  one  part.  Some  of  the 
tninslators  soften  this  rather  disagreeable  passage. 
Pope  says ; — 

"  Oh,  in  his  d*>arc8t  blood  miglit  T  allay 
My  rage  and  theae  barbarities  rcpny.'* 

And  even  Hobbs,  though  plain  enough  ns  to  the 
eating,  uses  "heart"  instead  of"  liver."    Voss  : — 
"  gem  BUS  dem  Tlasen  die  Leber 
Roh  ich  Tcrschliinf;'  einl)eitiBt;nd," 

Chapman  is  equally  plain  : — 

"Tills  wretch 
Whose  ftony  liver  would  to  heaven  1  might  devour,  my 

teeth 
My  son's  avengers  muke." 

Si>ecific  as  all  this  is,  I  do  not  suppose  that  Homer 
meant  that  Achilles  or  lleculta  would  have  done 
what  they  desired  had  the  opportunity  occurred. 

The  chanicter  of  Achilles  is  well  maintained. 
Polished  and  generous  to  his  friends,  cruel  and 
rapacious  with  hia  adversaries,  his  cnielty  is 
sportive,  like  that  of  a  cat  with  a  mouse.  When 
Lycaon,  coming  from  tho  river  naked  and  defence- 
less, begs  his  life  and  i:ffkiTA  ransom,  Achilles  says 
he  has  mercifully  spared  luany  whom  he  has  con> 
quered,  and  sold  thcin  (xxii.  lii:l).  An  excellent 
version  of  "  The  Death  of  Lycaon ''  appeared  in 
tha  i^})fdalor,  July  HI,  lrt(!!»,  and  the  coiiulusion, 
which  I  think  worth  presiTvinc,  is  ipinted  in  a 
notice  of  Juvcnttis  Mundi  in  the  JJilhi  Oazette, 
Sept.  .23,  18GS):— 

"  Ilut  Achilles, dr.iwin^  forth  hiR  shiirp  sword,  made 
Wound  HO  deep  upuii  the  cotlnr,  liy  the  neck,  that  all  tho 

blade 
Doublo-cd);cd  was  buried  in  )iim.    Prone  he  fell  upon 

the  plain. 
Stretched  at  lonuth,  tho  black  blood  drenching  all  aboat 

him  flowed  amain. 
By  the  font  AcliiUcs  seised  hitn,  hurled  him  headlong  to 

be  biirne 
Seaward  by  the  river,  o'er  him  ehouting  rapid  words  of 

■com: 
'Lie  tboa  there  among  the  fisbea  who  will  ■uckib'sVAK&

From  thy  wound  nor  pity  !  Never  mother  fond  tlij  corse

On  the  funeral  couch  lamenting.    Tliou  art  carried  to

stream  shall  dart 
Many  a  fish  that  eats  the  white  fat  round  the  dead 

Lycaun's  heart.' " 

The  reviewer  refers  to  Mr.  Gliidatone'a  observation 
tbut  AchiIlL'3  wislica  be  could  perEiiiidc  himself  to 
cut  Hector  niw,  and  Sitys  he  secmD  to  have  ub- 
Etained  "  us  a  matter  of  taste,  not  of  humanity," 
and  adds  : — 

"  SuppoBiri^  Iiim  to  have  born  cannibal  in  palate  ns  in 
»nul,  he  would  have  utiliztid  Lycaon,  and  have  spoken 
tliiia  : — 
"  Then  with  ncomful  words  upbnuding,  by  the  heels  the 

youth  he  Umk, 
And  he  drugged  hiw  to  tlie  kitchen, und  lie  threw  him 

to  tlio  cook. 
'  Lie  thou  there  among  the  dishcj,  broad  and  deep  to

Full  of  flavour  und  of  colour  for  black- puddings,  rich

Dainty  slices  from  thy  shoulders  for  a  pasty  I  will 

chooce ; 
Craclc  thy  bones  and  with  the  marrow  labricate  my

grimly  gay, 
And  to-morrow  \tc  v  ill  hash  the  meat  we  cannot  oat 

to-day.* " 

As  a  bit  of  )iersilliige  this  is  fair  enough,  but  it  is 
applicable  only  to  a  state  of  cookery  not  reached

"  MKTRoroLiTAN." — As  you  have  lately  dis- 
cussed this  word,  a  curious  use  of  it  by  Keats

rather  a  Ion;f  quotation  : — 

"  Yes,  then;  must  be  a  gdden  victory ;

worth  a  note  in  "N.  &  Q.,"  comes  to  me  in  a

Church  Pulverbatch  is  in  Salop,  and  the  letter  is 
written  at  Chester : — 

"  I  knew  an  old  Mrs.  Ward,  of  Church  Pulverbatch, 
who  was  bom  in  1752  and  died  in  1863.  She  never  had

A  NoNAGEHARiAN  AuTiioR. — The  concluding 
paragraph  of  Mr.  Paul  Hawkins  Fishcr'a  JVotct 
and  RecolUctiont  of  Stroud,  Gloueettershiri  {Lon- 
don and  Stroud,  1871),  deserves  to  be  quoted, 
ioasninch  as  it  records  a  remarkable  instance  ot 
authorship  at  a  very  advanced  time  of  life  : — 

"  Hero  [p.  863]  the  writer  lays  down  Ida  pen  toward 
the  close  of  a  serene  autumn  day,  in  the  ninety-SKond 
year  of  his  age  :  wishing  happiness  to  all  who  may  find 
pleasure  in  tlie  past  history  of  Stroud,  or  who  shall  t^ 
a  worthy  pnrt  in  forming  a  new  one, — t.i  bo  as  loviagly 
and  faithfully  chronicled  by  some  future  Old  InhabitaaL 

I  fully  appreciate  the  grateful  feeliogi  of  tlw 
aged  author,  whose  interesting  volume  I  ban 
lately  rend  ;  and  I  can  join  with  him  in  sayinj 
that  "it  is  not  without  pleasure,  and  perclianceil 
may  not  bo  without  use,  that  we  rescue  mat 
quaint  old  document  from  the  dust  of  ages  ;  irf 
that  we  arrest  the  floating  memories  of  men  rf 
things,  OS  they  {xiss  down  the  btreum  of  tJB 
toward  the  ocean  of  oblivion." 

To  make  up  in  some  measure  for  the  sad  ne^Mi 
of  the  past,  let  us  hope  to  meet  with  a  man 
Ceoeral  and  increasing  diligence  in  historical  tad

Parish  Documents. — In  looking  over  some  old 
doi-umen()j  connected  with  this  parish  t  hiive  met 
with  a  few  words  upon  which  I  sliotitd  he  glad  to 
receive  inforamtinn  through  *'N.  &  Q." 

In  a  regulation  concerning  pastumge  on  tbe 
comraon  land  it  ii  ordered  that  "  there  Rbnlbo  iti 
solde  luakis  in  a  flocko  at  the  lest"  Docs  this 
expression  occur  elsewhere  ? 

In  an  nocoiint  of  tbe  expenditoro  of  certain  per- 
sons, who  appear  to  have  been  seot  to  London  to 
arrange  some  legal  matter  called  the  "  hitndrytli'* 
matter — perhaps  relating  to  tho  boundaries  of  tbe 
hundred  — after  meationing  the  piirch:weof  "tronke 
h[i«e  "  and  "  shoys,"  with  whirh  they  »ecoi  to  have 
provided  themselves  at  the  ptiri-ih  expense,  and  tbo 
*'we«yngof  my  sherte,"  the  writer  jwida,  "It'ni, 
pnyde  for  oure  hndhnmys'  iiid."  ThLi  comes  also 
in  immediate  connexion  with  the  charge  for"hor»e 
meytt."  I  ciiEnot  find  any  expliin-ntion  of  "  hod- 
borays,"  which  acems  to  refer  to  some  pott  of  their 
proTigion  or  equipment. 

"Ootiiin,"  or  "oolaidfll,"  frequently  occurs, 
which  I  presume  to  be  the  English  form  of  etiUtlhta, 
a  Birmll  farmsteiid.     [ScO  S'"  S.  ix.  2S8,  315.} 

What  is  a  "Ciile"?  One  rule  ruoa  ihua:— 
"  It'm.  If  any  p'aone  sell  any  lond  .  .  .  .  lo  any 
other  p'sone  within  the  laid  Tonne  ....  that 
the  aaid  aellcr  ahall  yielde  them  upp  into  tho 
Biiiliffe's  haodaix  dayc*  before  theCourte  unto  the 
hehoffe  of  tho  byer,  and  if  any  p'sone,  kyn  to  the 
seller  within  tho  4th  degree,  come  and  a^k  a  Gate, 
it  (tball  be  delivered,"  £c. 

Another  order  is: — "It'm.  That  do  man  nor 
woman  Bholl  take  into  thoir  howa  or  howsea  any 
myster  woman."  What  ia  "myatcr"— a  fottunc- 
teUer I 

Mention   ia  several  times  made  of  the  atone 
unrrics  uiiiler  the  name  of  "Kealoo"  or  "Restowe 

i-lf."     Is  thin  word  known  elacwherel 

Tli^re  are  some  ctirioua  rcsmlationa  respecting 
the  May  king  and  qaeen.  I  shotild  like  to  know 
whtithtsr  in  other  parishes  it  was  compaUory  to 
serve  the  oJlice  under  a  penalty.

date  of  his  death  beiog  Apiil  14,  1728.  Hitherto 
the  antiquarians  have  only  recognized  two  settle- 
ments of  natire  Romans  in  EngUnd  dtstingnished 
by  the  name  of  Colony,  neither  of  which  was  in 
the  territory  of  the  Iceni,  but  both  in  that  of  the 
Trinobantes,  being  Verulamium,  now  St.  Albana, 
and  Camalodunum,  now  Colchester.  An  attempt 
has  been  made  to  identify  another  with  Lindum, 
now  Lincoln,  without  the  support  of  ancient 
authority.  Can  any  of  your  correspondents 
suggest  what  borough  it  was  of  which  the  deceased 
was  the  recorder  ?  The  one  nearest  to  his  re- 
sidence was  Bur}'  St.  Edmunds.       J.  S.  E.  H.

passage  now  in  question,  is  prc^xed  to  Dindorff's 
recension  of  the  Excerpta  Vaticana  of  Diodorus 
Siculus),  speaks  of  certain  works  of  several  authors 
as  being  most  perplexingly  mixed  up  together  in 
a  Vatican  palimpsest,  and  of  the  great  trouble  that 
he  had  in  sorting  and  arranging  the  mixed  sheets. 
He  says  that  he  found  these  authors  "niiroctnno 
et  errore  in  pjilimpseato  confusos."  What  is  the 
exact  meaning  of  cinno  f  In  the  only  Latin 
dictionary  at  hand  I  find  nothing  more  than 
"  Cinnvf,  a  mlied  drink  of  spelt-grain  and  wine," 
with  references  to  Arnobius  and  Nonius  Marcellus. 
I  feel  confident  that  so  ready  and  elegant  a  Latin 
writer  as  Mai  must  have  had  good  warrant  for  his 
use  of  the  word.  AVill  any  other  reader  kindly 
jot  down  its  meanings  and  authorities  for  them }

ihe  Itaja  and  the  people  generally  of  Siva- 
Ndbha  at  the  time  of  the  visit  of  Nanak  Shdh,

being  common  Hindus  and  not  Bi'iddhists.  Is  any 
mention  made  of  Siva-Ndbha  in  the  MS.  notes

THE  EPISTLE  FOR  GOOD  FRIDAY. 
(5">  S.  X.  226.) 
The  punctuation  which  is  alluded  to  can  scarcely 
be  deemed  an  error,  as  it  is  the  one  adopted  in  the 
Sealed  Book.  It  is  rather  an  indication  of  one  way 
of  interpreting  the  passage  in  Hebrews  x.  12. 
That  both  ways  have  authority  on  their  side  may 
be  seen  in  Alford's  note  on  the  passage.  In  this 
instance  the  Epistle  is  not  made  conformable  t.f> 
the  Authorized  Version.  The  Bishops'  Bible  (ed. 
1695)  has,  "Set  down  for  ever";  the  Genevan, 
"Sittethfor  ever";  Tyndale's  (1626  and  1634), 
"  Sat  him  down  for  ever  " ;  Cranmer's  (1639),  "  Is 
set  down  for  ever."  But  Coverdale  translates  the 
words,  "One  sacrifice  which  is  of  value  foi  vsvc" 


and  Wiclif,  "  Oo  sacrifice  for  sins  for  erennonk* 
The  Bhemish  version  is,  so  for  as  the  wofiIb,  ca{»Ue 
of  either,  as  it  is,  "  Offering  one  host  for  sina^  fat 
ever  sitteth,"  but  the  "  for  ever  "  is  determined  lij 
the  punctuation  to  be  taken  with  the  following  tod 
not  the  preceding  words.  The  Vulgate  also  If 
the  present  punctuation  connects  them  with  w 
following :  "  Hie  autem  unani  pro  peccatis  offetut 
hostiam,  in  sempitemum  sedet." 

The  question,  therefore,  may  be  snmmed  np » 
follows :  The  Authorized  Version  abandoned  tfce 
more  recent  English  mode  of  interpretation  lai 
adopted  .that  of  the  Rhemish,  which  ia  mtiRB 
accordance  with  the  earlier  English  tranalatioM  if 
Coverdale  and  Wiclif.     The  Pmyer  Book  vaa* 
remains  as  it  was,  and  represents  the  curmti- 
terpretation  at  the  time  of  its  fimt  coiupilatitm  A 
the  Latin  versions  of  the  Pmyer  Book  which  Iln 
there  are  these  renderings :  London,  T.  VaubAi 
1574,  "  Hie  vero  una  pro  peccatia  oblata  victe, 
perpetuo  sedet";  Durers,  Lond.,  1696  and  170^ 
"Unam  pro  peccatis  offerers  hostiam,  in  la^ 
temum  sedet "  ;  Parsell's,  Lond.,  1720,  "  lOe,  ow 
pro  peccatis  functus  in  eerapiternum  sacrifieio,ooa- 
sedit."   Bright's  and  Medd's  version  is,  like  I>oreF% 
in  the  words  of  the  Vulgate,  and  with  the  sum 
punctuation.  Ed.  Marshall. 

Sandford  St.  Martin. 

Notwithstanding  that  commentators,  and  mbb 
of  them  of  high  merit,  differ  widely  in  their  vie" 
on  this  pass;ige,  yet  I  cannot  but  feel  oaanteti 
that  Mr.  Walcott's  reading  is  the  true  one. 
Theophylnct  is  altogether  with  him,  and  taat 
otheni  whose  opinions  I  will  take  leave  to  quotCL 
Theophylact  says : — Avrbs  Si  o  \pi<rTv^  fiiih 
(jytiG'i.  irpoirifvtyKc  di'triav  to  tavrov  trw/io,  vsif 
Ttov  ijfifTfptav  aiiapTKov  «s  To  Siiji/excf  apKOPW'

self,  I  say,  has  offered  one  sacrifice,  hia  own  Ulj 
for  our  sins  for  ever  sufficing  to  us,  so  th>t  tk* 
is  no  necessity  for  a  second. 
Pole  (Synop.  Critic.)  thus  comments  : — 
"Illud,  in  perpttuum,  refertur,  ret,  1,  ad  aK^ 
obstat  T.  seq.  expectant  donee,  tie.,  quae  aig^Wt 
sessionem  illam  non  fore  perpetuam,  quod  etiMi* 
firmatur  ez  1  Cor.  xv.  ii.  Vel,  2,  ad  koaiiam.  it  if- 
tinctio  (aeu  comma)  ponetur  post  itrfvtKtQ,  et  locM*

opus  sit  Convenit  hteo  uistinctiu,  turn  pmoeocBAM 
turn  sequent,  v.  14." 

This  for  ever  refers  either,  1,  to  the  word  tat,  W 
to  this  is  repugnant  the  verse  following,  "  expect- 
ing till  his  enemies  be  made  his  footstool,"  1^ 
which  is  intimated  that  that  session  will  not  b» 
perpetual,  a  view  confirmed  by  1  Cor.  xr.  S^ 
Or,  2,  it  refers  to  the  tacrifice,  aince  the  distine*!"' 
mark,  or  comma,  should  be  placed  after  far  *i^t 
and  the  passage  translated  thus: — He  <0aiA*

"  Tkk  uitf.p.  ten-  tiiousaxd  "  (ii*  S.  X.  ZiS.) — 
This  is  certainly  an  American  oxpreH'iion.  In 
1852  a  Imok  ciime  out  called  The  Upper  Ten 
Tkousatifl :  Skflches  of  Avieriean  Sodfly,  hy 
a  Xtvi  Yorh.r,  reprini'J  from  J-'raier's  Magazine. 
It  wan  iinonvmouM,  but  the  author  was  known  to 
be  a  Xow  Yorker,  .Mr.  C.  A,  Bristcd,  who  had 
been  educated  at  (our  En^;Iiiih)  Cambridge,  and 
hiid  written  a  book  on  his  university  experiences. 
Mr.  Bristed,  spraking  of  thcac  Bketclies,  says  : 
"  I  h:id  originally  headed  them  '  The  Upper  ten 
Thousand '  in  accordance  with  a  phrase  established 
by  Mr.  Willis,  though  even  that  is  iin  exaggeration, 
for  the  people  so  designated  are  hardly  as  many 
hundreds."  The  Mr.  Willis  here  spoken  of  is,  of 
course,  Mr.  N.  P.  Willis,  of  Pendllingt  hy  the 
Way.  H.  A.  B. 

"Mas  rnorosEs,  but  God  disposes"  (S**  S. 
X.  3<>6.) — This  formed  the  subject  of  a  discussion 
in  *'  N.  &  Q.,"  First  Series.  A.  B.  C.  (vol.  viiL 
p.  411)  pointed  out  the  occurrence  of  the  saying 
in  Thomas  A  Kempis,  i.  19 ;  Mb.  J.  W.  Thomas 
stated  (p.  552)  that  it  was  derived  from  Proverbs 
c2i.  xn.  TT.  I,  10,  and  that  it  occurred  in  Pien  the 


Ploicmnn,  v.  1399-1 ;  and  £.  J.  \L  (ex.  ^''3)  nodeed 
two  quotations  of  it  in  )L  A.  Lowers  Traiulatin 
of  thi  Chronif'it  of  Butli  AV*fif,  a.d.  I"66-1I77, 
pp.  37,  S3.  The  writer  of  this  Chronicle  is  not 
identified,  but  it  appears  to  be  p&rtlT  contec!- 
poraneous  and  partly  &om  ancient  docament*  and 
traditions.  I  have  not  met  with  an  earlier  instana 
than  this  last  mar  be.  £d.  M*rsw»it. 

It  is  probable  that  the  e:ir!ie?t  form  of  tliii 
proverb  is  to  be  found  in  Pror,  xvi.  33 : — "Thf 
lot  is  cast  into  the  lap,  but  the  whole  dispociii^ 
thereof  is  of  the  Lord.''  Tulg. : — "  Sortes  mittan- 
tar  in  sinum,  sed  a  Domino  tcmperaotar.''  Tit

DeEIV.VTIOS-  or  "SArNTFREP.  "  (5**  S.  i.iSt| 
— Mr.  Fcrsivall,  in  "  X.  &  Q.,~  5>*   S.  u.%>_ 
mentioned  the  earliest  known  use  of  the  word^ 
the  phrase  "sitt  santeringe  .tlone,"  a.d.  IWS.  Tl 
is  noticeable  that   in  what  is  possibly  the  neil 
known  occurrence,  as  well  as  the  eArlieat  glossariil 
definition,  the  popular  derivation  occurs.    Bloant, 
in  hiii  Glofiographia,  h;i3 : — "To  saunter  up  and 
down,  so  thOfC  were  said  to  do  who  pretended  to 
have  been  at  the  Holy  Lind.    Pancta  Terra."  This 
work  was  first  published  in  16o6  -'LowndesV  bot  I 
cannot  say  that  the  quotation  is  in  that  edition,  u 
I  have  only  the  fifth,  Lond.,  1681.     It  will  be  in- 
teresting to  trace  whether  such  is  the  case,  or,  if 
not,  when  it  came  in. 

If  another  guess  may  he  i'.llowed.  which,  if  iwt 
better,  will  probably  not  be  wor^e  than  someothfS 
which  have  boen  in  "  N.  &  Q.," — whfit  wiU  Mt 
FcRNivAi.i.  say  to  the  supposirion  thnt  to  "fl? 
sauntering"  may  ripnn  to  "sit  .■sanctuaryinz'? 
There  is  another  verb  from  "  sanctuary," — "5* 
place  indeed  should  nuinler  winctuarize";  andtk 
thought  of  it  must  often  have  been  present.

"SASiTAniCM"  OR  ".Saxatoricm  "  (a^fii

of  "fliinitas."  H.  A.  E.  has  the  advantage  ot»i 
for  I  certainly  never  heard  the  worils  oatdit- 
differently.  Glad,  however,  that  he  prefen  ^ 
former,  because  the  latter  is  wholly  wrong.

ALUTEB&TIVE  AND  OTHBK  VBKBAL 

CATcnes. 

I  hare  collected  a  few  exaniplet  to  three  or  fonr 
lanj{uat,'0-s,  and  shnll  be  glad  tn  Bee  more  added  to 
tboKi.  "  Collected  "  u,  doweTer,  scarcely  the  right 
word,  fu  I  hare  not  given  myself  uny  trouble  to 
seek  for  example^  and  those  I  give  have  uccideatally 
or  incidentally  been  brouglit  under  my  notice,  und 
this  will  accuuDl  for  the  very  sutull  number  1  have 
to  ofTer. 

These  catche«,  if  I  may  call  them  no,  as  being 
intended  to  catch  and  trip  up  the  unfortunate 
iodtTidQal  who  ia  iDTitcd  to  repent  tbrm,  ^ecni  to 
me  to  fail  into  two  cloases.  In  the  one  chsa  the 
alliteration  la  as  coiuplcce  as  it  is  posatble  to  make 
it ;  in  ttio  other  the  aUiter&ttOD  is  ouly  partial, 
though  still  marked. 

I  will  begin  with  clau  i.  In  English  ve  have 
the  well-known 

"  Peter  Pliwr  jtlcked  n  peok  of  ]>iclcle  pepper. 
l>iil  i'ctfr  I'ii'crjiick  n  jifck  of  iiichle  jieiipcrl 
If  Polpr  t'lpcr  pinkcit  ■  pock  of  pickip  ptMUMjr, 
WluTci«  cbcprck  or  pickle  pepper  PclerPip*r picked T" 

ThiR  is  what  I  am  aimured  ia  the  correct  veraion, 
but  it  ifl  certainly  not  the  only  one,  for  I  myaelf 
have,  so  it  seems  to  me,  genemlly  heard  the 
*'pickte"  left  out,  and  the  second  Uno  certainly 
aometiiiies  runs,  "  A  peck  of  (pickle)  pepper  Fctei 
Piper  picked." 

Anoilier  instance  is  "  Gig-whip."  But  surely 
thin  Is  not  alliterative,  T  hear  some  one  say  ;  uad 
"gig-whip"  alone  certainly  ifi  not  so,  but  as  it  is 
required  to  repeat  "(tig-whip"  many  timea  an  fnat 
u  positble,  I  think  I  am  entitled  to  ioclnde  it  in 
my  first  class. 

In  French  I  have  only  one  example,  via.,  "Ton 
thfi  t'a-t-il  <M  U\  toux  T  " 

In  Gernifin  I  have  not  a  single  example,  T  have 
indeed  frequently  been  usked  by  Germans  to  say 
"acht  hundert  acht  und  ochtzig"  very  quickly, 
but  this  is  not  a  niade-up  HCDlenoc  like  those  J 
hare  already  mven,and  there  Ubut  little  diiUculty. 

In  Italian  I  have  :^ 

"  II  pop*  pern  il  pope  a  Plia, 
B  Plsapcw  il  pepe  al  papa."* 

This  has  some  xesomblance  to  our  "Peter 
Piper,"  &C. 

These  ore  the  examples  wtudi  I  have  collected 
of  cIosbL 

Id  clow  iL  I  hare  n  few  examples — io  Eogliah, 
Italian,  and,  straDgo  to  say,  Bohemian.  It  is 
indeed  struoge  that  I  sboold  have  a&  example 


That  la, 

"  Tho  pnpo  wdjlii  the  pepper  for  Pisa, 
And  PjM  wclgtu  Iho  pepper  for  the  pope." 


in  Bohemian,  fori  sever  spent  more  th->-> 

night  in  Bohemia  (in  1858),  and  I   neT> 

the  liingunge  excepting  daring  that  f'<r:r 

yet,  without  any  cITort  upon  my  pan 

came  into  my  hunda.     Now  I  harp  \. 

more  or  les^  for  forty  years  nnd  upmiros,  nod  _ 

it  w&K  not  nntil  nbmit  five  yeun  u;jo  that  I  picked 

up  the  example  I  hare  giT(<n  nhnrti.  Hod  I  <;boald

All  wen!  men  of  htub  nmlt,

nociirn  in  two  of  the  Coldinghnm  ch;irteT5  (R:iine'8 
A'.  Durhnm,  App.,  n.  2ft)  as  "CJospatricios  couieii, 
fnit<;r  Doltini,"  and  "  Goapitric  cornea"  simply. 
His  son  occurs  in  anotlKr  of  these  charters  [ib., 
p.  20)  aa  "  0>j3patrlciu8  comes,  lilius  Gt«patncii 
comitis,  frntris  Doltini."  He  nlso  nppcnrs  in  tho 
/f/j.  Glnjiff.  (pp,  U  ond  48)  lis  "  Cn«piitriciu« 
comes  "in  a  cb;irter  of  Malcolm  the  Maidpn  (in 
the  index  he  in  c.irele.«Iy  confounded  wich  another 
t'O'^patric,  Sheriff  of  Koxbur^b),  and  also  in  a 
"coDvencton"  between  Jocclyo,  Bishop  of  Gtaa> 
(inw,  and  RoRcr  of  Viiloins,  where  the  next  witness 
iifier  thu  king,  William  tho  Lyon,  \s  "CospiitriciuB 
citiies."  In  the  Ch'irtulary  of  ColiUlrejtm  (HarL 
MSS..  Brit.  Miitcuni)  ho  »Uo  Appears  twit^e.  grfint- 
inj;  clwrtor*  (Noa.  8  and  11)  as  "  (Jtinpatriciiis 
comet."  And  bin  son  Woltbcof  (or  WoIdoTe) 
alw.iya  calls  him  "  C-ospatriciuj!  comes." 

Now,  it  U  surely  an  error  to  suppose  that  these 
three  e:irl3  tuutologicsilly  styled  tbcmsflves  "Earl- 
Piitrlc,  Eiirl,"  H5  wc  must  conoitide  on  the  theory  of

not  ut  ftl]  A  common  one,  and  not  much  known  out 
of  the  March  curl4  and  their  imnie<liate  connexions, 
WI19  nsed  by  humbler  persons  at  a  tvtj  early  dat«.

ti«  |2(H.l  (if  not  enrlier),  where  there  is  a  lonj;  list  of 
wilriPFscH.  Amongthese  are  "Cospatric  the  hermit 
of  Kylbouhoc"  and  "Co^patric  romcfare/'  Thb 
latter  epithet  uia'^t  inenn,  I  think,  that  be  hud 
"fared  to  Rome"  (the  Teutonic  "fahron").  TbeM 
C<i!>p'itric4  had  nutbiog  to  do  with  eatldoinK.  The 
prvfix  "(.*(»"  iiiii?t  therefore  have  Bome  other 
iiicuuiny.  h\  thift  document  there  appear  the 
imiiiRR  of  '*(\)Bmnngho,  the  priest  of  Edolueaton," 
and  "  ('osouold,  son  of  Muryn,  at  OUvcr'a  CastJa" 
(the  ancient  seat  of  tho  Frasera). 

Kow  in  thoBO  early  ctntiiriea  even  preat  nobles 
did  not  preniimc  to  adopt  the  names  of  our  Zjord 
or  tbo  KiintH  aa  their  own  without  a  prefix  showing 
their  humility.  Thus  we  find  Ciil  Christ  (Mrvant  of 
Christ),  Maol-Jos  and  Gill-ies  (MTvant  of  Jeans), 
Gil-Andreoa.  Gil-Bride,  Gil-Patric,  Gil-Mory,  Gil- 
Fdlnn,  Gil-Espio,  OiI-(Wm,  aud  Mal-Colm— the 
servant  of  Andrew,  of  Bride  or  Bridget,  of  Potrie, 
of  Mary,  of  Fillan,  of  the  Bishop,  and  of  t'olnmbn. 
There  are  many  more  of  these,  wmo  yet  cxliting 
in  Bcocland  ax  sumnnies.  "  Cos"  must  hare  some 
kindred  meaning^*'  Benrant,  friend,  or  disciple"  of 
Patric,  or  Mungo,  or  Ouold,  ns  in  the  abora 
palronymiM.  Tboiigh  no  C-eltic  fcliolar,  I  would 
incline  to  find  a  Celtic  or  Pictish  origin  for  the

"When  do  Sheriffs  take  Officf.  ?— On  the 
morrow  of  St.  Murtin,  the  1 2th  of  November,  some 
of  the  great  officers  of  state  with  some  of  the 
judges  assemble  in  the  Exchequer  Court,  and  there 
nominate  three  persons  as  sheriffs  for  euch  county 
in  England  and  Wales  (except  Middlesex,  Lan- 
cashire, and -Cornwidl).  These  names  are  forth- 
with published  in  the  London  Gtiselte.  Rolls  of 
the  nominations  are  then  prepared  by  the  Queen's 
Remembrancer,  and  being  presented  to  her 
Majesty  some  time  in  January,  usually  the  day 
before  Parliament  meets,  her  Majesty  pricks  one 
of  the  three  names,  almost  always  the  first,  with 
the  point  of  a  bodkin,  thus  electing  the  sheriff  for 
the  ensuing  year.  I  have  not  been  able  to  Hnd, 
even  in  Geori;e  Atkinson's  Treatise  on  the  Offices 
of  Sheriff,  Under-Shcriff,  Bailiff,  &c.,  sixth  ed., 
by  R.  E.  Melshcimer,  1878,  8vo.,  any  account  as 
to  the  exact  date  when  the  fiherilfs  so  appointed 
enter  on  their  offices,  and  desire  to  ascertain  if 
there  be  any  legal  date  for  so  doing,  or  whether 
the  date  depends  on  locjil  circumstances,  the  dis- 
tance of  the  place  from  London,  or  the  leisure  of 
the  Cierk  of  the  Privy  Council.  Some  data  as  to 
when  the  Lwt  year's  sheriffs  took  office  would  be 
very  interesting.  With  re.ipect  to  the  three  ex- 
cepted counties  above  mentioned,  it  is  necessary  to 
add  that  the  sheriff  for  Middlesex  is  the  (lOO 
sheriffs  for  the  City  of  London,  who  are  elected  by 
the  liverj'men  of  the  City  and  take  office  in 
September.  The  sheriff  for  Lanciister  is  specially 
named  by  the  Queen,  acting  as  Duchess  of  the 
County  Palatine,  and  the  sheriff  for  Cornwall  is 
named  by  ihe  Prince  of  Wales,  acting  as  Duke  of 
Cornwall.  The  two  latter  seem  to  take  office  at 
the  same  period  as  the  other  sheriffs  of  England 
and  Wales.  George  C.  Boase.

"  Bright  GOul,  instruct  us  mortals  bow  to  moom, 
How  to  approach  yet  not  profane  thine  unw." 
And  ends  with  a  "  chorus " — 

"  Hark,  bark  how  each  orbe  his  tune  doth  keep."

conaidercd.  to  be) ;  besides,  his  nephew,  f<mr  years 
old,  resided  with  him  there  in  1810.  The  house 
WB8,  I  think,  built  subsequently  to  178",  nn<I  wttx 
first,  I  lielieve,  occupied  by  its  owner,  Mr,  Winn, 
a  siioccssful  tiudesmac  in  Hirhmnnd,  whose 
daughter  married  the  Rev.  M.  J.  Pattiton,  of 
Haoxvell,  who  beeams  posussed  of  the  property, 
and  whose  tenant  Mr.  TAdsod  was. 

One  uroril  about  Mr.  Ciuitei.i,'.''  innuendo 
respecting  the  diatance  of  Mr.  TAnson's  "  country 
house  " — a  term  which  we  arc  to  suppiiee  Lnmloners 
lit  thiit  time  applied  to  the  suburban  rwiidences  to 
which  they  retired  after  each  day's  toil ;  hot  in 
this  caftc  it  waa  not  a  sKhnrbun  rcaidence.  Pro- 
bably bis  duties  as  a  King's  Bench  solicitor  would 
not  require  the  whole  of  hia  time,  ;in(l  tlmn  he 
might  be  able  tx)diTide  his  tiuie  ifctnern  town  and 
country  ;  but  I  wtnmjt  venture  an  opinion  on  ihia. 
Mr.  C'safpeli.  wilt  tind,  bow^rer,  if  he  consulO 
any  good  map  or  book  of  ro.'ula  of  the  period, 
that  Richmond  is  not  at  the  antipodes,  nor  even  on 
the  borden  of  Scotland,  but  is  siliinled  234  miles 
from  London,  with  pood  coach  road  all  the  way, 
and  could  not  therefore  rerptire  t«n  days  to  reach 
it.  It  is  nbout  ninety  miles  less  thno  the  distunce 
from  London  to  Gretna  Gr».*en,  which  was  wont  to 
be  Inircrsed  by  rtioaway  couples  at  the  rate  of 
twelve  miloA  an  hour.  Mrs.  Dixon,  who  was  an 
intimate  friend  of  Mr.  C.  W.  rAown.  in  corre- 
spondence'with  bis  son  writes,  in  1650,  *' Your 
grandfather  lived  at  tbv  comer  of  Bedford  Row,  in 
a  very  large  house."  So  he  had  a  town  honse  as 
well  ;ls  the  residence  at  Richmond,  Yorkshire. 

If  I  iiindc  an  error  in  dcscribios  the  hoUad  as 
one  of  the  sweetest  in  the  Unguage,  I  am  much 
obliged  for  the  correction;  but  in  such  a  matter 
tastes  must  needs  differ,  and  it  appeared  to  me 
that  at  a  time  when  the  ballad  litcndure  of  the 
country  was  at  such  a  low  ebb  that  the  public  ear 
was  Kgnkd  to  surfeit  with  appeals  to  i'hillis  and 
Delia,  Daphne  and  Cfaloe,  and  such  like  p<^r- 
sonages,  as  the  inspirers  of  poetic  elfuxitms,  the 
iotroduotion  of  a  balhul  broutbing  all  the  freshness 
and  breezinewi  of  Burns's  happiest  songx  oonld 
not  fail  to  be  a  pleasant  relief;  and  the  public 
taste,  whether  it  was  acted  upon  by  the  wtmls  or 
the  music,  or  both,  was  evidently  not  far  from  my 
estimate  when  we  find  the  tot^  met  with  the 
applause  which  Mr.  CHArraLL,  in  quoting  the 
titiR,  says  it  did. 

The  reference  to  Genilfvtan's  Mnsaiitu  given  in

AS  to  tht^  lofalc  of  this  pretty  old  bolhid  of  some 
little  TiUue.  For,  presumably,  the  author  and 
ooiU[>Ofier  of  it  are  now  pretty  well  known. 

Before  reading  the  nrticlc*  of  Mr.  IIei,!.  nrd 
Mr.  TAsaox  at  pp.  lfift-9  of  the  preaent  volume 
of  "  N.  &  Q.,"  my  decided  opinion  had  been  for 
a  Qumbrr  ofyears  thut  the  Lm  resided  at  Bich- 
mond  Hilt  in  Surrey,  one  of  the  most  lovely  of  the 
metropolitan  environs.  Indeed,  some  time  Hince, 
when  cnmte  of  Twickciihnm,  this  wiis  ofLcu 
stated  as  n  fact  to  me  by  old  roxidonts  there, 
and  also  at  Kichmond ;  and  well  do  I  remember 
the  old  Inne  The  Libs  of  RifJimond  Hill  being 
perpetiiully  pt»yod  upon  the  baxrel  orfinns  and  upon 
pianofortes.  The  melody  seems  lU.  this  moment 
souudii])i  in  my  c«r->  and  rccalliUK  rem  in  is  winces 
of  the  pjwt.  when  llie  rich  hues  of  nunthine  were 
dying  on  theThttiue^  and  gilding  the  fine  wood- 
landH  with  heauty. 

My  Bcciiinintanco  with  Richmond^hire,  in  the 
county  of  York,  and  ila  chief  town,  Richmond,  i» 
e^IuiWly  intimate.  Jfnny  !i  day  hfla  been  i>pent  by

beautiful  scenery,  and  not.iii(j  down  thi-  locid  tmdi- 
tioos  and  archrPDlo^^y  in  that  district.  Yet  alluiiion 
©r  reference  wtw  never  made  by  any  people  on  my 
visits  tt)  ttiia  old  5ong  or  ballad,  either  directly 
or  indirectly.  And  it  iiil^lit  Imve  been  expected, 
had  tho  hus  dwelt  in  tho.ie  re^tonn,  to  bnve  been 
as  **  familiar  in  their  montlis  as  honsehold  words." 
Yet,  from  tlio  strong  evidence  cited  in  farour  of 
this  town,  and  brought  forward  by  the  two  above- 
mentioned  correspond  en  ti),  beinR  the  residence  of 
the  lady,  a  change  has  oome  over  the  spirit  of  my 
dream,  tiiid  my  conviction  is  now  that  thu  scene 
is  laid  At  Rifthniond.  in  Yorkshire,  The  nniue 
I'AiiBon  is  a  well-known  ftnd  an  honoured  ono  in

The  Battle  of  Fontkxoy  :  Col.  Scipio 
DuRuur.K  (a""  S.  X.  167,  272,  358.)— I  give  a 
second  title  to  this  reply  iis  the  original  one  is 
Rouicwimt  unforluniitc  for  the  purpose  of  giving 
information  concerning  an  ofliccr  who  happened  to 
be  engaged  ut  Fonteuoy,  and  I  simply  wish  to 
point  out  another  possible  source  of  information 
concerning  Col.  Scipio  Duroure.  About  twenty 
years  ago,  when  living  at  Campbeltown  in 
Argyllshire,  I  copied  some  monumental  inscriptions 
in  the  cemetery  at  Kilkcrnn,  in  which  this  name 
occurs  as  having  passoil,  it  may  be  assumed  by 
descent,  into  a  family  of  Cainphclls  who  belonged 
to  the  early  settlement  of  Kintyrc  under  the  Eorla 
of  Argyle  in  the  Kevcnleenth  centurj'.  One  of 
these  inscriptions  is  to  tho  memory  of  "Capt. 
Scipio  Duroure  CamplwU,  who  died  19tb  March, 
1797,  aged  55,  and  Gilifi.  bia  spouse,  daughter  of 
Archibald  Campbell  of  Kenloch,  Chamberlain  of 
Kinlyre,  who  die<l  Ctb  March,  1806,  aged  68." 

Another    is    to    the     memory    of    "

I  a  pouMt  fomiiitioa  from  the  old  French 
Bnt  this  latter  U  aJw  incorrect.    Tb«  word, 
French,  is  buiiltr,  to  wound,  to  inflict  pnio, 
rived  frmu  the  aubstantive  Ewti',  puin  ;  «e«  thefte 
Torms  in  Uuqnefort.    All  these  words  aro  far  re- 
ived from  oiir  Rns.  tnbttaU;  and  Mr.  Wedj^ood 
tU  flumx  up  the  whole  matter  when  be  sayii  that 
U  "can  b&ve  notbiog  to  do  with  O.   Fr. 
iiWer,    to  overturn,  destroy,  Proveosal  bittik, 
tion,  troable." 


Mnhn's  H^'tbiler  cites  O.  Fr.  ht^iUer,  to  tortnent, 
vex.  iDuttlutti ;  but  (oa  if  to  prop  up  one  bad 
etyiuolocy  by  citing;  a  worse)  refers  us  iiIbo   to 

0,  Fr.  haloi,  iinjuat  law.  E.  Miiller  pves  do 
informatioD.  On  the  whole,  it  cornea  to  this,  that 
none  of  our  dictionaries  know  anything  whatever 
ahoat  the  matter. 

In  ciuHS  of  this  sort  it  is  of  no  ub«  to  (tuess. 
My  iavuriabte  method  is  to  tmoe  oat  the  history  of 
a  wonl  by  collecCln^t  sufltcieab  quotsttODS  ;  and, 
whilst  lulmittinu  that  Dr.  JohiuKin's  bint  looks  at 
Jimt  tiijiit  like  tho  wildest  gue«,  it  in  none  the  len 
a  fact  that  the  htiitory  and  use  of  the  word  drive  lU 
bock  to  hla  suggestion,  which  may  havo  been  no 
guess,  but  the  result  of  laying  various  possigM 
lofTctber. 

The  quotaCioDs  noeessary  to  establish  the  fiutt 
arc  almnnt  too  numerous  to  he  given  ;  tbey  will  be 
found  in  T>ii.-hnril!<on,  under  the  headings  imbexilt 
and  tinbtzih,  for  the  word  was  spelt  either  way ; 
lo  which  nuMt  be  iidded  thecupiUil  i]i)otiitiou  from 
PdU^rnve  given  ia  Wpiigwood.  As  to  the  double 
spelling,  we  hivve  NiiRioient  evideneo  in  3her«V>od'B 
index  to  ('otgKive,  which  gives  ns  :  "  R-nhtasU; 
see  Imbtzste."  In  like  manner  we  have  both 
onfMrgo  and  imbaryo,  fmbank  and  imbtmk,  tmhar 
and  imbttr;  the  cm-  being  Fieucb,  and  the  tin- 
Latin,  in  most  cases. 

I  take  the  accftiint  of  the  word  to  he  dimply 
thi.s  :  (1)  that  tni/xu-iVe  wa,t  fornifirly  used  Iwth  ns 
lb.  and  a  verb  ;  (2)  thnt  it  was  often  pronounoed 
with  the  accent  on  the  e;  (3)  that,  in  coune  of 
time,  the  accent  on  the  c  became  permanent  when 
tlic  word  was  use<l  as  n  verb,  ucmrding  t«  the  com- 
mon DHBge  whereby  we  di-dlnguiah  the  sb.  Uirmtnt 
(ma  the  verb  to  tormiiU;  unu  (4)that  the  uuhiclgr 
stibstitiitinn  offrm-  fnr  im-  at  an  early  period  so 
utterly  darkened  the  etymology  that  there  was 
nothing  whc-rcoa  to  v"?  ibc  sense  of  the  word,  thns 
leaving  it  to  ttoLit  about  aa  it  best  could.  The 
quotiitiuas  fairly  establish  these  points,  and  I  most 
Dod  room  for  aome  of  them. 

The  true  sen^e  of  the  verb  to  iiuhfril  (for  sncfa  is 
the  heat  spelling)  was  to  enfeeble,  weaken,  diminish 
from  ;  hence  to  subtnict  or  take  awny  tmm  (and 
by  the  comnioD  addition  of  the  suiofestioD  of  a 
sinister  motive),  to  subtnict  from  slily,  to  courey 
awity  for  one's  own  use ;  which  is  the  only  scose 
DOW  admitted.  This  sinister  senso  is  a  very  old 
one,  appearing  in  the  fifteenth  century,  whilst  on 
the  other  bund  tlie  original  semm  is  now  lost. 
Those  who  have  read  iiioet  widely  in  English 
authors  best  know  how  many  senRCs  become  at  last 
Bttachtfl  to  one  word,  and  bow,  in  oonne  of  time, 
aome  of  them  (often  the  most  literal  ones)  are  lost 
sight  of.

htiptiKru.  GifTonl,  in  hn  eflitioD  of  MAsstofrer, 
says  that  Philip  wm  born  in  16S4  in  or  ncor  Scuta-

name  mtftht  hove  Appeared"  This  orcnunt  has 
b<^ea  copied  again  and  again  down  to  the  preaent 
diiy. 

Tf  the  students  of  Ma88U)g«r  had  t:onauIted  the 
Uitlory  of  Snlubartf,  published  emus  five-and- 
thirty  yenni  iitfo,  und  formini;  the  concluding 
volnuie  of  Sir  R.  C.  Uoorc's  Countj/  Uittonj,  they 
vould  have  fouitd  the  facts  clearly  atated. 
AuioDgxt  the  several  biogruphlea  of  S^sbaiy 
worthies  th&t  of  Muasioger  is  included.  Ths 
entry  of  hia  baptism  iit  contained  in  the  parish 
reyifcterof  St.  TLouuis,  in  thiit  city  :  "November, 
l.'>83.  Philip  Messanger,  the  son  of  Arthur,  bap- 
tiRed  the  21th."  Thin  aXsa  decides  the  (juestion 
as  to  the  CfanHian  mime  of  his  father.  According 
to  the  custom  of  the  time,  the  name  of  the  mother 
is  omitted.  A  good  dcul  of  Inbour  has  been  spent 
in  trying  to  prove  ihut  the  Mitssingers  camo  cat 
of  Gloiioeiiteryliire.  A  much  more  probable  theory 
is  thiit  they  were  an  old  Salisbury  fniiiUy.  Tho 
nninu  occur?!  uiriougst  tho  munioipul  records  of 
SRli.ihnry  as  early  as  14ir»,  when  William  Aah-

Mb.  Blrnkikropp  quotes  the  Laliu  rendorlng  as 
in  favour  of  coanecliag  "  ever  '  with  "  reicnest '' ; 
but  in  the  venion  of  Iti^l  (when  the  coUect  was

It  is  worthy  of  remark  thai  tbe  only  other

MK.Bi.KN-Kisftorp  will,  I  Ihiok,  find  few  to  agree 
with  him  in  his  eoudemnntion  of  the  piinctuattOD 
of  tho  clause,  "  Who  liveRt  and  reignest  with  tbe 
Fftthtrrnnd  the  Holy  Spirit, cveronc  God."  In  his 
amended  reading  he  omiLs  several  words.  Had  he 
rctikincd  them  be  would  ut  once  have  been  struck 
by  the  forced  and  unrhythmical  form  into  which 
be  had  thrown  u  beautifully  balanced  claune.  Irft 
any  ono  contrast  tho  condemned  sentence  with  the 
amended  ono,  "Who  Hvest  and  reigne-it  with  the 
Father  and  the  Holy  Spirit  ever,  one  God,"  and  he 
wilt  not  hesitate  as  to  acceptiug  the  former  as  the 
correct  form.  Ma.  ELKNins.'^orp  chiims  "all  the 
old  Prayer  Books"  a»  heinc  on  hts  side.  Will  he 
specify  some  one  edition  wnich  places  the  comma 
as  hrs  would  argue  it  should  be  plaoed  f  The 
phnao  "  ever  one  God  "  ia  not  absurd  ;  It  simply 
reasserts  the  truth  declared  io  the  Athnnasian

it  mtfiht  he  worth  while  to  inquire  who  were  the 
"  children  of  Prtul'i! "  that  were  the  actoni.  The 
answer  ia  not  quite  so  evident  as  niii^ht  be  nt  lirst

school  now  beorintf  that  name,  and  not  those  of 
the  cathedral  or  choristers'  eohooL  Thia  appe-ars 
by  the  mentioti  of  their  master's  name  Itifrhtwine, 
who  Wits  at  Che  head  of  the  school  from  1522  to 
l&3'2.  The  play  was  probably  his  own  composition, 
aa  a  TVoffwjf  of  Dido  out  of  Virgil  ia  known  to 
have  been  written  by  him.  Lut«r  on  the  "children

the  cathedral  school  hy  the  iiientiou  of  their  music 
muster,  Sebastian  Weatcott,  or  whoever  it  mi^jht

"MunbMter'n"  children,  i.e.  the  Mholin  ot 
Richard  Mulcaster,  the  Grst  head  master  of  Mer- 
chant Taylors'  School.  In  Collier's  Hittortf  of 
Engtith  Dramatic  Foetrti,  1831,  vol.  i.  pp.  205-S48, 
many  entries  will  be  found  of  representations  given 
youthful  coiupooy.    The  prevalence  of  the 


fiwhion   in  testified  by  the  sttttntc*   oC

the  ancestor  of  the  Sttinrt-.  who  lived  until  1177, 
for  his  sou  luid  heir,  Ainu  Fits  Juidnn  Fil2  Alan, 
founded  the  Abbey  of  St.  Mary  of  Troochet,  near

Mr.  Ellis  h%9  oasuoied  that  ALid  Fitz  FteoU,

the  nephew  and  heir  of  Alan  Fitr.  Floald  the 
Seneschal,  who  was  the  crusader  in  1090  ;  but  the 
sole  ground  that  I  can  sco  for  suggesting  tho 
cxisttnuo  of  the  nephew  is  the  TRrdict  of  the  jury 
in  the  reign  of  Edward  I.,  which  asserte  that 
FUtneus,  the  father  of  Alan,  was  once  the  owner  of 
the  hummr  of  Miioliam.  N[it.  Ellis  has  over- 
1ook(?d  thai  tho  Chartulary  of  Costlmvcre  contains 
positive  cnntemporary  evidence  that  Alan  Filjt 
Fle-ild  acr|iiired  the  honour  of  Mileham  by  pur- 
chase, and  not  by  inberitaaoe,  io  tho  oonfirnuitian 
of  Simon  dc  Norfolk,  who  expressly  refer?  to  "  the 
dny  on  which  Alan  purchased  (conq»invit)  tbe 
Iiononr  of  Mileliauj."  This,  hnwevcr,  i.i  a  point  of 
minor  interest,  and  uiy  paper  is  already  too  long.

FwDDM  Field  (S**  S.  x.  2Sl,  2.'WS.)-Writing 
ns  he  dooA  from  Aberdeen,  it  seems  curious  that 
Mr.  Mykhs  Dakson  should  not  have  consulted  ao 
well  known  a  book  oa  Mr,  Seton'a  Ziate  aiul  PraC' 
tiee  of  Scottiih  Heraldry  before  asking  whether 
there  was  ever  **  a  Lyon  King  '  DillninenQt.' "  U 
might  with  greater  reason  be  a^ked  whether  any 
perHOD  niinie4lDill!iraeriiiC  ever  existed, save  in  the 
liniin  of  an  niiktiown  tnin-toriber  of  an  English 
balliid  of  unknown  date  and  anthnrship.  It  ia 
probable  enough  that  the  designation  of  one  of  the 
most  widiity  known  Lyon  Kings,  Sir  David  Lind- 
say of  the  Mount,  may  hire  given  rise  to  the 
various  furiu^  of  tho  nriiuo  which  appear  to  exist  in 
print  and  MS.  lu  the  ballad  which  forms  the 
subject  of  Mr.  Danson's  note.  But,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  Mr.  Seton  shnwa  that  the  Lyon  King  at  tbe 
diite  of  Flodden  Field  was  Sir  William  Cumyng  of 
liiverallochy,  second  son  of  William  Cinnyng  of 
Cuult^ir,  who  appears  as  Mnrchmont  Herald  in 
1499  (fi(V.  Ste.  Si^X  was  knighted  In  U>07,  and

described  aa  late  as  1018.  The  dat«  of  Sir  William 
Cuinyog's  death  dues  not  appear  from  Mr.  Seton's 
account.  Btit  thr>  regular  appointment  of  his 
<iHccr*«nr,  Sir  David  Lindsjiy  of  the  Mount,  is 
ii-iiially  assigned  to  the  year  1530,  although  be 
((.fipearfl  to  hare  been  acting  Lyon  in  January, 
'\ri'2a.  So  far  as  these  facts  tend  to  throw  a  light 
on  the  probable  period  of  the  composition  of  the 
ballad  cited  by  Mr.  Dassos,  they  seem  to  me  to 
favour  a  date  sul»c<iucnt  Io  Sir  David  Lindsay's 
appointment,  for  I  can  hardly  doubt  that  "  De-la-

more  ditficnlty  than  those  of  prosier  namra.  The

RiiBsia  of  the  early  part  of  tlio  present  century', 
thore  is  a  charming  doBcription  of  a  vJBit  of  this

up,  and  away  they  drive  across  tho  crackling 
snow  to  a  cuntrj'  house  somo  miles  off,  nil  (liu

when  clad  in  Lor  cuitGin's  hussar  uuiiorui  and 
adoi-mad  with  an  elegant  nioustache.  Such 
mununers  as  thene  would  lay  aside  their  dis- 
guiauB  with  a  light  conscieuco,  but  thu  peasant 
was  apt  to  feel  a  dcpresjiing  rpialm  when  tlie 
flporls  were  ever ;  and  it  ia  said  tliat,  oven  at

To  the  beet  of  our  belief  the  speeches  in  Terao 
were  never  sttitliecl  from  mnnuscript  or  printed 
Ijook ;  they  were  always  couimitled  to  memory  by 
the  now  performen,  helped  by  ftoino  lingering 
Guisers  of  a  fonner  year,  who  still  loved  to  bear  a 
part,  but  chiefty  iiutracCed  by  the  Kestors  who 
b.^d  seen  many  and  many  a  Cbristmaa  revelry  ns 
iipectators,  without  huvinv  bonw  any  actiro  snare 
in  the  public  dnplay  for  nnlf  a  century.  So  on 
the  Heath,  as  we  have  ourselves  seen  on  the  York- 
shire WoUU,  some  old  man  like  Tiicothv  Kairway 
IcKDt  ngainsc  the  vail,  "and  prompted  the  boys 
from  memory,  intenperaing  among  the  set  words 
remarks  and  anecdotes  of  tiie  superior  days  when 
he  :mJ  othcri  were  the  Egdon  mummers  deo(  that

ably  a  reaction  which  presses  toward  some  other 
extreme.  The  irreverence  and  malignity  of  the 
insults  to  Luud  and  Charles  I.  provoked  among 
loyal  Cavaliers  so  much  fervour  of  devotion  as  may 
scarcely  at  all  times  seem  reasonable  or  praise- 
worthy. But  if  these  sincere  and  high-bom  de* 
fenders  of  preroj;ative  occasionally  soared  too  high 
in  their  loyal  raptures,  seeking  to  defend  both 
Church  and  State,  the  justification  is  to  be  found 
in  the  provociition  oH'ered  to  them,  by  the  still  more 
offensive  perversion  of  Scripture  and  the  violent 
acts  of  repression  which  were  employed  by  the 
Parliamentary  zealots. 

No  better  specimen  of  the  household  form  of  the 
Christmas  enrol,  simple  and  unadulterated  with  any 
admixture  of  modern  ideas  and  phraseology,  oould 
well  be  desired  than  the  following  lullaby  for 
infants,  from  a  manuscript  formerly  in  possesaioD  of 
Mr.  Thomas  Wright.  It  has  the  sweetness  and  in- 
nocence of  the  best  times  of  the  religious  mysteries. 
It«  own  date  appears  to  be  of  antut  1478,  or  a

Fearless  of  misconstruction  by  evil  minds,  sonu 
of  these  eariy  carols  tench  with  innocent  boldnett 
on  the  mystery  of  the  Incarnation,  as  in  oBe 
b^inning 

"  A  ferly  thyng  it  !a  to  mene, 
Tbat  a  majd  a  cbyld  have  borne  : " 

to  which  the  burden  is  "  Aye,  aye,  this  is  the  day, 
that  we  shal  worshep  ever  and  aye."  It  will  be 
found,  complete,  in  the  Percy  Society's  publifsationi, 
No.  Ixxiii.  p.  15,  for  October,  1847.  On  p.  12  ol 
the  same  collection  will  be  found  another  luUaby, 
closely  resembling,  in  its  commenceDient  m 
general  purport,  the  carol  transcribed  above.  Hat 
is  the  first  verse  : — 

"  Tbys  endeis  ny3th 
I  saw  a  ajjtb, 

A  stare  as  brjjt as daj* ; 
And  ever  among 
A  mayden  song 

Lullay,  by  by,  lullay." 

This  probably  formed  a  well-known  verse,  and  oq 
have  Deen  used  as  recurring  burden  to  acoaiojaBj 
"  Lullay,  my  Chyld,  and  wepe  no  more." 

Instead  of  the  "Boar's  Head  Carol"  mi^  st 
colleges,  Caput  Apri,  &c,  "The  boar's  bead  is 
hand  bear  I,"  there  was  sung  of  old  the  huntiDg 
song, 

"  r^dyngee  I  bryngjow  for  to  tell, 
What  me  in  wjld  forest  befell, 
Wban  me  must  with  a  wyld  bmt  mell. 
With  a  bor  ao  bryme. 

A  bor  ao  bryme  tbat  me  pursued. 
Me  for  to  kyll  ao  abarply  nmeved, 
Tliat  brymly  best  so  oruell  and  unrjd, 

Ther  tamyd  I  hym. 
And  reft  fro  hym  both  lyfe  and  lyma." 

Which  fonued  a  seemly  chant  to  introduce  the 
boar's  head  in  attestation  : — 

"  Truly  to  ahew  low  that  is  trew, 
Hys  bed  with  my  swerd  I  hew. 
To  mak  this  day  to  jdw  myrtli  new, 
Now  etes  thereof  anon. 

Etyson,  much  good  doyt  )nw, 
Take  yovr  bred  and  musterd  tberto, 
Joy  with  me  that  I  bare  thus  done^ 
I  pray  jow  to  be  gUd  everychon, 
Andjoy  allia  one. 

Like  the  guUn  Appelit  wished  in  oar  WaH 
by  some  blooming  A«72n«n'nn  Mddchen  at  a 
German  Gasthaus,  this  commendation  of  the 
luscious  food  must  have  been  as  aerricealJe  to 
accompaniment  as  the  "  bred  and  nmstetd  "  or  tlu 
lemon  from  the  boar's  mouth.  Wc  conld  lin^r 
over  many  a  score  of  ancient  Christmas  carols,  and 
feel  tempted  to  give,  on  some  later  recurrence  of 
the  festival,  a  list  of  such  Christmas  enrols  as  still 
are  extant.  But  enough  is  as  good  as  a  feast,  and 
there  are  grumbling  bodies  (even  among  the  con- 
tributors to  our  pleasantest  literatnre)  who  may 
already  declare  that  we  are  holding  forth  too  long. 
Such  people  would  shut  their  ears  even  to  aoUithe

I  had  spent  a  threat  dual  of  time—as  I  had 
Rcvcnil  times  walked  some  dbitnnoc,  riglit  or  left, 
ill  ho{>eii  of  gottiug  a  Bot^ond  shot  at  tho  bird — 
aud  I  then  noticed  fur  thq  ib-st  time  that  tho

To  do  tliia  X  had  to  splash  tlirou^h  many  pools 
uf  water,  yet  got  on  very  well  mitil  I  was  about 
half  a  ntilo  above  the  village,  wheru  there  was  <

It  liwl  tUeu  lieooino  so  dark  that  1  cuuld  not  wo

to  hii  fate,  and  that  I  vafl  dotuniunod  not  to  flo, 
so  I  waded  on,  keeping  tlto  treca  in  aiglit,  aa  I 
know  that  irhurever  ttiore  iru  a  breu  in  tlie 
lino  of  t<)ps  there  waa  the  bridge. 

At  taat  I  cnmc  whoiv  thcro  vtito  nu  troc-s,  and,

btidffe,  and,  followiug  tliu  sonnd,  I  wiui  noon 
Btaudinj;  beside  him.  It  waa  not  a  moment  too 
soon,  for  tliti  water  had  invodod  my  waiatcoat 
pookots,  and  waiatcoats  were  worn  shorti'r  in 
thoBo  days  thau  they  nre  now.  There  were  only 
ft  f«w  yards  of  the  roadway  on  Ihe  top  of  the 
bridge  unct>vt!red,  bnt  theu  a  road  led  from  it  to 
tho  loT^,  and  the  land  wiLn  higher. 

Miiiiy  and  hca\-y  wero  the  malfdiction*  tliat  I 
bad  often  previously  bcstowufl  npon  the  ohl 
rough  imv6,  whicli  was  tlien  atill  to  be  found  on 
Bonitj  ruads  In  France,  lu  I  had  been  jolted  over 
it;  btit  from  thiit  night  I  have  alwaj'a  looked 
npoo  it  as  A  Btriking  proof  of  the  wisdom  of  our 
anoestorg.  Althongh  Iho  water  was  still  «p  to  my 
knees  when  I  wa»  tip^m  tlio  pav^,  I  was  certain 
I  alionld  not  blnndl^r  uito  the  deep  wiiter  na  each 
side  of  the  road.  St«p  by  step  I  cautiously 
felt  my  way  with  my  feet,  and  althongh  1  bnd 
barely  a  quarter  of  a  mile  to  go,  it  stwmcd  to 
have  no  end.  However,  at  last  I  stood  high,  if 
not  dry,  upon  the  ler^c  with  my  dog  dancing 
round  iu«.  Poor  fellow,  he  appeared  to  be  an 
thankful  as  I  waa  for  our  narrow  eicapo.  As 
to  me,  I  was  in  no  dmiuiiiu  condition,  and  so 
thoroughly  cxhauabcd  thjit.  had  I  imt  had  noniu 
brandy  in  my  Itastt,  I  beUeve  I  ohnuld  nevt;r  have 
dragged  mysilf  tho  four  miles  I  still  had  to  walk. 

Once  at  home,  however,  tliero  waa  time  to 
meditate  on  thu  foUy  of  a  wild-gof>Re  chase — 
tho  greater  if  it  obliges  you  to  go  to  bed  instead 
d  paseing  a  Cluiatmas  evening  in  the  society  of

Brand,  thouj^h  he  tells  us,  on  the  authority  of 
Cauden,  that  the  youn^  maidens  in  Ireland  nsed 
to  fast  on  St,  Catherine's  Pay,  in  order  to  seuare

that  the  princess  wna  dend  in  Alay,  1371),  aa  the 
other  entries  that  she  was  alivt  in  1383. 

The  issue  roll  of  Michaelmas  3  R'f^^.  IT.  (1379), 
conljuuB,  under  date  Oct,  22,  an  enin-  of  the  pay- 
ment to  Tyrcll  for  srrriiMS  to  King  Kdw.ird  and  to 
the  roiintefls  of  Bedford,  bat  the  word  linper  does 
not  occur  in  rehition  to  cither  of  tbein.  I  bara 
e\aniined  all  tho  other  issue  rolh  from  S  to  6 
RiehfiM  IT.  Thev  contain  sevend  cnlriea  of  Ihe 
iiiiytiieiit  to  T>tl11,  but  no  other  nientJon  of  tho 
I'rinceM  T-^ubeila.  My  eyo  waa  caught,  howerer, 
by  the  following  entrv  on  the  issue  roll  of  £uter, 
6  Rich.  n. :— To  Philippa  Cluiucer,  It^c  one  of  the 
maids  (""'nKjMr  uni  domicellanim ")  of  Philippa, 
latt  Queen  of  England,  to  whom  the  ]nt{>  king  gave 
10  marks  a  year  by  a  patent  conQrmed  by  the 
present  king,  3^  6*.  8(f. 

Now  the  word  ntr;>o-  in  this  c«e,  IboDgh  applied 
to  a  living  (wrson,  in  correct,  b«cauKe  a  maid  is  a 
mwid  oaly  while  tho  wrvice  latts  ;  hut  it  sugpesta 
the  possibility  that,  though  a  dADghter  is  a  daughter 
for  life,  yet  by  a  clerk'a  error  the  nvptr  JtUa  may 
bo  used  in  a  Btmilar  sense  when  applied  to  a 
deoeaiad  ptnon'a  daughter.  No  other  Huliition  of 
tho  difficnlty  occurs  to  me,  though  I  ackoowledgo 
tbnl  the  nppltc:ttion  of  the  word  n-uper  in  that 
eenae  ii  so  unusual  that  I  have  never  met  with  it. 
ThiJi  uuiflt  be  my  iipology  for  trivniUting  it  in  the 
ordinary  meaning  in  my  life  of  lMth4>lla.

was  a  rant  avis,  and  that  Charlotte,  in  her  own

of  the  moorliinrl,  and  rinin^  A<^iin  by  a  clear  stream 
in  a  din>!le  called  Fidler'i  Cloup^h,  I  came  upon  a 
row  of  three  ancient  cottaj^'es,  sLiDdlng  all  alone  on 
the  hill  side.     At  each  door  stood  a  woman,  one 
at  her  wash-tu^,  another  combing;  out  her  lone 
blatik  hair;  and  the  third,  a  very  handmnue  old 
tlitme  with  line  a'lniline  features,  cniiio  forward  to 
fhovr  me  the  way.  Like  the  othen',  like  all  women 
hereabouts,  she  wore  clnt;  shoon,  brass  tipped  and 
iron  bound  ;  but  she  also  wore  the  close  white  cap^ 
and  the  cotton  bed-jjown,  and  tlie  short,  stripra 
linaey  kirlleof  lAiicuvdiLre.    In  dreiMand  in  fe.lture 
she  wiis  the  very  marrow  of  many  an  old  accjuaint- 
nnce  of  mine   at  the  further  Hide  of  that  ffreat 
county  ;  and  when  she  and  the  other  two  women 
opened  their  tiioulhs,  the  sounds  I  heard  were  not 
those  I  had  heard  from  iho  waller :  they  wore  piir* 
Zxineailiire  ^ouudn.  with  only  a  touch  of  C'ravon 
here  and  there.     To  take  one  word  only.     Half  a 
iiiilo  off,  at  the  next  farm  on  the  YorkKhire  side, 
every  one  had  aaid  kootti,  but  Old  Mary  and  her 
Dfiiichbours  said  hahiti.     "Old  Mary,"  that  is  her 
only  name  ;  for  why,  she  has  been  there  so  lonii  (I

A  trusty  dalesman  for  driver,  nod  a  tXxoa%  sure-

seeminglj  must  hare  held  vith  the  fust-nanied 
opinioa  ;  at  all  events,  they  have  commenced 
a  new  and  sixth  Bcries  of  the  IVetleyan  Magasine 
with  volume  one  hundred  (January,  1877).  Here 
it  may  perhaps  be  instructive  to  point  out  as 
a  sign  of  the  timen  that  this  magazine,  which  for 
ninety-nine  years  held  on  its  own  particuLir  course 
with  theologj',  theoretical  and  practiail,  poetiy, 
biegraphy,  accounts  of  tntvels,  and  general  matter- 
of-fact  information,  has  at  last  succumbed  to  the 
example  set  by  Good  Words  and  other  kindred 
publications,  and  in  its  one  hundredth  volume 
placed  before  its  readers  a  decided  work  of  fiction, 
entitled  "  The  JJeforvied  Duchess  of  Ferrara,  an 
Episode  in  the  Hietoi-y  of  the  Reformation.  By 
the  Authoress  of  Blind  Olive,  &c."  Whether  thia 
be  a  fault  or  not  I  do  not  pretend  to  say  ;  I  only 
desire  to  record  the  fact.  The  contents  of  the 
volume  are  very  varied  and  interesting,  and  the 
present  editors  are  to  be  congratulated  on 
the  appeaniQce  of  the  centenarian  volume  of  the 
Wesleyan  Methodist  Magazine.

Proverb,  "T'es  tout  ^vfitjuE  d'Avrasches." 
— Let  every  one  havo  his  own.  A  storj-  that  not 
long  ago  had  the  run  of  the  newspapers  was,  it 
seems,  only  an  adaptation  from  the  French.  In 
English  guise  it  set  forth  that  a  farmer,  baring 
gone  on  some  churchwarden  business  to  try  to  see 
his  bishop,  say  in  a  South-western  diocese,  always 
found  on  callinj;  at  the  palace  that  the  bishop  was 
engaged  and  could  not  be  seen,  the  servant  man 
telling  him  that  his  lordship  was  deep  in  his 
studies  and  must  not  be  disturbed  ;  "  whereon  the 
churchwarden,  a  little  vexed,  said  he  wished  that 
the  next  bishop  the  Queen  did  appoint  would  be 
one  who  had  finished  his  studies."  Lately  I  came 
across  the  original  of  this  account  in  M.  C.  A. 
Saint e-Beu%"e's  Causeriet  du  Lvndi,  Paris,  1801, 
vol.  ii.  p.  10)^.  Therein  not  only  is  the  story  told 
of  Huet,  Bishop  of  Avmnches  until  1721,  but  it  is 
asserted  that  hence  there  sprang  up  a  proverbial 
saying,  generally  used  in  the  following  way  in  the 
bishop's  country  of  Lower  Normandy,  where  he 
guinea  much  renown  among  the  people.  When 
a  man  is  absent  in  mind,  dreaiuy,  and,  in  short, 
not  up  to  his  business,  his  neighbour  who  chances

Xkkophos  :  CAyKiBALiSM. — If  the  screral  pw- 
sages  expressing  a  wish  to  eat  an  opponent  raw  be 
examined,   it  will,  I  think,  appear  that  »  main 
ingredient  in  that  wish  is  that  that  opponent  lus 
made    himself,    beyond  what    is    customary,  m 
obstacle.     Thus    Xenophon   uses     the    expreaios 
almost  as  a  proverb  in  his  address  to  his  men  m 
the  point  of  an  advance  in  phalanx  order  agus:

were  at  once  a  grievance  and  eyesore  to  be  reniond. 
In  each  of  these  ixissages  the  Kal  prefixed  to  "  raw' 
would  imply  that  the  idea  was  not  that  of  a  literal 
eating  raw,  but  intended  to  indicate  intense  feeling. 
In  Syriac,  to  eat  the  pieces  of  any  one  mesns  to 
slander  them,  a  sense  so  far  resembling  the  other 
that,   like  it,  it  is  figurative.      In    Homer,  ibe 
reproach  against  Juno,  as  cast  in  her  teeth  by  Iter 
lord,  is  that  the  Trojans,  with  Priam  and  ail  ia 
sons,  are  an  object  to  her  of  intense  hatred,  ud 
that  till  they  are  out  of  the  way  she  will  net  be 
appeased,  and  the  Kal  of  Xenophon  is,  in  the  ch

prisoners  of  war,  of  whom  such  great  numbers  wet 
held  in  Eii<;li.sh  prisons  during  our  long  wars  with 
France, especially  in  the  early  p;irt  of  thi^cencarr} 
George  Borrow,  in  his  Larenyro,  speak«  of  the  great 
French  prison  at  Norman  Cross,  "  consisting  of 
fire  or  six  casernes,  very  long  and  immeotely 
high,"  '*  where  some  six  thousand  French  and  otbtr 
foreigners,  followers  of  the  grand  Corsican,  wew 
now  immured."  Borrow  speaks  of  tbe  brutal  tieot- 
ment  and  wretched  food  awarded  to  these  u> 
fortunates,  among  whom  there  were  probably  nuqf 
merchant  seamen,  men  who  should  not  have  bwf 
treated  as  prisoners  of  war.  Borrows  brief  noliof 
is  just  enough  to  make  one  wish  to  know  ntoff 
about  a  very  pathetic  subject.

The  Hi-enx  "-ward  "  (&*  S.  %.  308.)-The  two 
following  example*  of  tho  use  of /romtrarti  are  from 
Todd's  Johnson:—"  An  Pyroclc-t  went  froward 
fromu-aril  his  death"  (Sir  P.  Sidney)  ;  "Varyinff 
up  and  down,  towards  or  /roviiatrdf  the  zenith

fTrom  llunkux  icard,  vih'u  tbkt  th«  chapman  utp.'* 

It  is  theu  seen  that  loard  has  ia  this  case  a  verbal 
force,  and  means  "while  voyaging"  (hoe  Earle, 
J'biloityjy  of  the  Knj/liih  Totirf'ie.  p.  371).  As  the 
(■inolation  stood  before  it  was  Hkely  U>  nii«le<id, 

Fromwant  jis  an  adjective,  under  tho  form /ro- 
utird  (the  m  being  dropped,  as  in  "  to  and  fro"), 
belongs  to  our  preeent  vocabulary.  The  corM- 
epondmg  ndjectivo  totcard  was  also  formerly  much 
in  use.  The  two  are  well  contrasted  iu  tbo  follow- 
ing passage  frttni  Shakspearts : — 
«  Ttji.  "Hb  ■  irond  liearbig  when  children  are  /«worrf.  _ 

i»e.  But  abarth  hcnrinff  when  wom'^n  anj/rowortt" 
Tamihj  of  iKe  Shrnt,  .\i:t  v.  sc.  2. 

Tt  is  worthy  of  note  that,  while  the  preposition 
tweariU  and  the  ndjective  frouard  have  still 
a  vigorooB  cxialence,  the  ndiectivc  Umtird  and  the 
preposition /rowiTdrd  arc  onsoleto.  Home  Tooko 
says  :  "  This  word  if-af/  may  with  eqnal  propriety 
be  joined  to  the  name  of  any  person,  place,  oc 
thing,  to  or  from  which  our  view  or  sight  may  be

Embezzle,  its  Ettiiologt  (5""  S.  s.  461.) — 
Prof.  Skeat  doea  not  seem  to  be  aware  that  the 
•tpord  berdc  is  still  ia  use  in  Derbyshire,  and  espe- 
cially in  the  neighbourhood  of  Matlock,  where  I 
have  often  heard  it  applied  in  n  senso  synonymous 
with  (fii:sh.  Thus  n  aot  is  said  in  common  pur- 
lance  to  "sit  driukins  and  hez:ling  all  day  long." 
I  have  also  heard  persons  drinking  greedily — 
perhaps  on  a  hot  day  in  summer — admonished 
"  not  to  bfzzlc  water  in  that  way."  This  being  the 
case,  it  mny  be  tbiit  Skinner's  explan:ition  that  the 
■word  is  a  corruption  of  "  beattU,  to  make  a  beast 
of  oneself,"  is  not  so  much  of  a  joke  after  all. 
Em.hc:tlc  may  thus  also  be  traced  to  the  !«iiie 
source,  and  I  find,  in  fnct,  that  in  ( 'hamherp's 
Etymolo^fical  Dir'iorinrij  (*-d.  LSC!))  the  root  of  this 
word  is  yiven  as  '"  obs.  h(L:U,  to  drink  hard,  to 
squander."  B.  B. 

TriE  BisiKiPRuoK  Chesteh  (y""  S.  x.  283,  411.) 
— The  confusiou  under  this  head  is  somettniefi 
made  worse  by  those  whuiu  wo  should  expect  to 
clear  it  up.  In  his  Ihcuiatnls  illuitrativr-  of  the 
History  of  Scoilnnd  from  the  Venth  of  AU:fiin- 
der  III.  to  llic  Aeccf'ion of  Itoherf  JfrHft^,  published 
under  the  directiim  of  the  Lord  Clerk  Eegister 
(Edinburgh,  ISTi'},  the  Eev.  JosppU  Stevenson 
seems  to  use  the  two  titles  Lichfield  and  Chester 
interchan;:eably.  Thus  (vol.  ii.  p.  475),  under 
date  Miirch  22  [Kjti4],  he  writes,  "  Kin<;  Edward 
gives  directions  to  the  Bishop  of  Lichtield  to 
forward  money  for  the  siege  of  Stirling.''  The 
king's  letter  commcnL-es  with  these  words, 
'*  It.  a  levesque  de  Ceslre  s;duz.''  Sir.  Strvenson 
translates,  "Tlie  King  to  the  Bishop  of  Chester, 
greeting,"'  and  the  letter  Ls  iiidexcd  under 
"Che.--ter."  Wheuce  then  thcinterpi)liitiou  "  Lioli- 
field  "i  In  Bishup  Giistrell's  -Xotitia  Ctftrunsi^, 
or  Iliitoric'il  yolires  of  the  Dioce,<«  of  Clustir,  pub- 
lished hy  the  Ciietliiim  Society  under  the  editor- 
ship of  Kev.  J'.  Jl.  Biiines,  there  is  a  brief  reference 
to  the  tfiiip'>r;iry  occupation  of  Chester  as  their 
"  cathedra  "'  l)y  the  bishops  of  Liclitield,  barbed  on 
Camdea's  Brit'nmin.  With  regard  to  Mr.  Steven- 
son's .seemingly  indiscriminiite  u>e  of  the  two  titles, 
where  the  only  evidence  that  is  obvious  on  the 
surface  is  in  favour  of  one,  and  that  the  less 
common  appellation  of  the  sec,  I  cannot  but 
think  that  it  would  have  been  better  to  have 
used  only  Chesier,  as  in  the  original  document, 
and  tn  have  inserted  Lichfield,  if  at  all,  in  yciuarc 
brackets  by  way  of  cxi»lanation.
