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.

TOTTEL'S  '  MISCELLANY,'  PUTTEN- 
HAM'S  •  ARTE  OF  ENGLISH  POESIE.' 
AND  GEORGE  TTRBERVILE. 

I  sroTTCED  some  tiino  ago,  when  Hcorching 
for  eortain  material  in  George  Turbervile's 
*Ttagioal  Tales  fmd  other  PoemH,*  1587. 
thai  tho  author  oft^n  imitated  the  Bongs  and 
soooeto  in  TottePs  ^  Miscellany/  and  that 
occafiionally  his  verse  wa4  almost  identical 
with  quotations  from  the  '  Miscellany ' 
vikich  I  had  been  able  to  identify  in  Ptitten- 
Ima's  'Arte  of  English  Poesio.'  Then  I 
ttUed  to  mind  the  fact  that  tlie  time  of  tho 
«on^)ocition  of  Puttenliam's  book  in  still  a 
DAttar  for  intelligent  Bi>eculation,  and  I 
euinpared  tlie  date  of  it«  publication,  1589, 
Willi  that  of  Turber\ile's  *  Tragical  Tales,' 
IMT.  And  I  thoiigJxt  what  a  good  thing 
it  votild  be  if  I  could  find  the  latter  quoted 
in  Puttenham.  But  I  was  doomed  to 
dJHppointnient.  for  I  could  find  no  evidenoo 
to    ihow    that    Puttenliain    had   read    the 


At  this  time  Mr.  R.  B.  McKerrow  v«>ry 
kindly  lent  me  his  copy  nf  Tnrber\'ile*a 
'  Epitaphee.  Epigrams,  Songs,  and  Sonnet«,' 
1567.  and  informed  me  tlxat  he  hod  traced 
two  quotations  from  it  in  Puttenham.  To 
make  a  long  story  short,  I  determined  to 
work  through  the  book  thoroughly,  and  I 
very  soon  learned  that  these  'Songs  and 
Sonnets '  Rhed  much  light  on  the  mysterious 
'  Art©  of  English  Pocwie  *  and  on  Turbervile's 
method  of  composition.  Turber\ile  is  tho 
"  common  rimer  **  who  is  moat  often  censured 
by  Puttenham,  no  fewer  tlian  ten  jpoaaagCB 
from  his  book  being  dealt  with  in  '  The  Arte 
of  English  Poesie.' 

Turberv'ile  is  mentioned  only  once  byname 
in  Puttenliam  (Arber,  p.  75),  the  passage 
reading  as  follows  : — 

"  And  in  her  Majesties  time  that  now  Is  are 
sppong  up  an  either  crew  ot  Courtly  makers  Noble 
men  and  tientlemen  of  hor  Majesties  own»_» 
servaiiutes,  who  biive  written  cKcoU**nUy  well  as 
it  would  nppenrv  if  thi'ir  doinss  could  t>e  Found 
out  and  made  puhHcke  with  the  rest,  of  which 
number  is  firet  that  noble  Gentleman  Kdwaid 
Earlt;'  of  Oxford.  Thomaa  Lord  of  Uukhurat, 
when  be  was  yuung,  Ueniy  I^ord  Paget,  Sir 
Philip  iSydnf-y,  Sir  Walter  Rawleigh.  Master 
Edward  Dyiip,  Mnistep  Fulkc  Grcvell,  Ousron, 
Britt4jn,  TurberviUe  and  a  greAt  many  other 
learneil  Gentlemen,  whose  names  I  do  not  omit 
for  envie.  but  to  avoyde  tediouaneoe,  and  who 
bave  deserved  n<i  little  commeDdatton.'* 

Knowing  that  Turbervile  was  thus  com- 
mended. I  did  not  expect  to  find  that  he 
is  the  "  rimer  "  who  is  belittled  and  held  up 
to  censure  more  often  than  any  otlier  poet 
or  poetaster  dealt  with  by  Puttenham  ; 
and  even  now  I  cannot  find  an  explanation 
for  the  difference  between  the  commenda- 
tion and  the  censures  that  follow,  all  of  wliich 
indicate  in  the  verj'  plainest  terras  that 
Turber\*ile  was  far  from  being  a  master  of  his 
oraft,  tluit  he  was  an  imitator  or  mimic  of 
other  men's  work,  and  that  his  verse  is,  in 
truth,  very  little  better  than  doggerel. 

Now  all  this  seems  strange,  because  tho 
faults  alleged  against  Turbervile  are  faults 
to  bo  found  in  all  poets,  good  and  bad,  who 
wTote  about  that  time ;  and  Puttenham 
mMxl  not  have  gone  outside  Tottel*B  *  Mis- 
cellany '  fur  similar  exan^ples  fur  his  book. 
WJiy  does  he  open  his  criticism  of  bad  verse 
with  a  quotation  from  Turbervile.  and  close 
it  with  a  succession  of  quotations  from  the 
same  author,  and  tlien  at  the  end  of  his 
book  hark  back  to  Turber\'iIe*B  writings  ? 
If  this  attack  on  Turber\'ilo  is  new  to  u.s,  it  is 
liardly  likely  that  it  passed  unrecognized  by 
liis  contemporaries  ;  and  it  would  seem  that 
Puttenham  had  quarrelled  with  Turber\'ilo 
some  time  after  he  wrote  the  words  of  com-

wc  should  like  to 
know  something  more  than  tin*  few  bare 
iletails  that  havo  boon  ascertained  up  to 
tlip  i)re3ent ;  and  tlierefore  it  is  just  poftaible 
that  some  day  somobody  may  be  able  to  point 
us  to  one  or'  more  replies  to  Puttenham  by 
Turber\'ile*8  friends,  or  even  to  Homething 
bj' Turbon'ile  himself,  in  work  known  to  have 
been  %sTitten  subsequent  to  the  production  of 
*  The  Arto  of  Enplisli  Pooeio.  And  then 
we  may  got  to  know  more  about  the  singu- 
larly able  critic,  but  wretched  poetB*ster, 
wlio  wrote  the  latter  work. 

The  iirst  two  quot-ations  T  shall  deal  witli 
are  those  which  wore  pointeci  out  to  me  by 
Mr.  McKerrow. 

Puttenham  says  there  cannot  be  a  fouler 
fault  in  a  poet  than  to  falsify  his  accent  to 
serve  his  oadence.  or.by  imti-ue  orthograpliy 
i-o  wrench  liis  words  to  help  his  rime.  To 
do  either  is  a  sign  that  the  poet  or  maker 
is  not  copious  in  his  lan^ia;|i:e,  or  (as  they 
are  wont  to  say)  not  half  his  craft's  master  ; 
that  Ixe  is  but  a  bungler,  and  not  a 
poet : — 

"  as  be  that  by  nil  Uki»IyhoDd.  having  no  word  dt 
Imnd  to  piine  to  tins  word  jjovl,  he  made  )ils  fitber

again  on  p.

In    neither    case   is  Tiu-bervile    correctly 
quot«»d,    and    this    circumstance    seems    to 
mark  malice.     Tiirber\*ile  wrote  : —

Now  Puttenliam*6  censure,  aft-cr  all, 
amounts  to  this  only,  tliat  Turber\'ile 
wrenched  a  word  to  help  his  rime,  and  that 
he  had  no'  authority  fur  using  "  roy.**  But

Thia  is  correctly  quoted  from  the  sonnet 

headed    '  In    Praise  of    Ladie   P.'   (Collier^ 

p.  248). 

We  are  told  : —

In  Tottel's  'Miscellany/  p.  158,  a  similar 
case  of  "  surplusage  "  occurs,  and  in  a  poem 
from  which  Puttenliani  quotes  with  approval 
elsewhere  : — 

But  gase  on  them  and  they  on  me  as  hestes  ar& 
wont  of  khide. 

•The  Lover  refused  lamentetli  his  Estate.' 

As  very  much  of  Turbervile's  work  in  his 
'Songs  and  fSonnets'  is  directly  founded  on 
poems  in  Tottel's  *  Mistollany,'  I  ha.\v<  no 
doubt  he  caught  up  his  phrasing  from  Tottrl 
in  this  cas«.  But  you  never  find  Putten- 
ham sj>eaking  sliglitingly  of  anything  in. 
Tottel,  althougli  he  deals  with  twenty - 
seven  passages  to  be  found  in  that  book, 
some  of  wjiich  are  quoted  twice  and  even 
three  tizues. 

Most  of  the  quotations  in  Puttenliam  are 
from  effusions  of  liis  own,  which  ungrateful 
and  ill-discerning  men  liave  allowed,  with 
the  exception  of  one  poor  remnant,  to  be 
drowned  in  the  black  waters  of  oblivion.

T.  L.  PEACOCK'S  '  ESSAY  ON 
FASHIONABLE     LITERATURE.' 

This  liitherto  unpublished  fragment,  to 
whicJi  allusion  has  already  been  made  in 
the  pages  of  *  N.  &  Q.,'  ia  the  only  work  of 
its  author  which  alludes  to  writem  ond 
l>eriodica1s  under  their  own  names,  and  as 
Huch  is  an  invaluable  addition  to  our  know- 
ledge of  Peacock's  views  as  well  as  a  charac- 
teristic specimen  of  hiy  style,  it  is  contained 
in  vol.  36,815  of  the  MS8.  in  the  possession 
of  the  Britiflli  Museum.  Admirers  of  Peacock 
will  find  hiis  likes  and  dislikus  portrayed  in 
the  same  trenchant  style  tiiat  tlw  novels 
Klisplay.  and  tlie  explanation,  perhaps,  of 
dimculties  which  have  arisen  owing  to 
suppression  of  names.  The  first  part  of  it 
in  as  follows  : — 

*'  The  tashioiuble  metropolitan  wint«r,  which 
begins  in  spring  and  ends  in  autamn,  is  the 
aeaivoa  of  happy  reuni  on  to  those  orojunental 
varleiioB  of  the  humnn  epccios  who  live  to  bo 
amused  for  the  benefit  of  tht^  AnclAl  order.  It  is 
the  season  of  oporAS  and  exhibitions,  of  rout« 
and  concerts,  of  dinners  at  midnight  iiud  suppers 
rtt  sunrise.  It  is  the  period  of  the  general  niUHter.

'Time.  But  tlK»jie  are  the  ann«  with  which  they 
assail  the  enemy  in  battalion  :  there  nn:  others 
with  wliich  in  momenta  at  morning  B'»litude  they 
art-  e4unpeUed  to  encounter  him  single-handed  : 
and  one  of  these  weapons  ia  the  rciuiin^  nf  liglit 
and  easy  iHtolcn  wliicii  commAnd  attention  uitli- 

^Hlt   the  laboiir    of    application,  and    amuse   the 

~  lleacas  of  fancy  without  disturbing  the  ideep  of 

*aiidonitandiD^. 

"  Tills  spociea  of  literature  which  ainu  only  to 
amusi^  and  must  he  ver>'  careful  not  to  instruct  n/ut 
never   so   many   purveyors   as   at    present  :     for 

"there  never  was  any  state  of  8«>cioty  in  wliiclt 
there  Vfete  so  many  Idle  persons  as  there  are  at 
present  In   England,   and  it  happens  that  the»e 

lldle  persons  are,   ff»r  the  most  part,  so  circnm- 

|«Btanced  that  they  can   do  nothing  if  tliey  would. 

and,  in  the  next  place,  that  they  arc  united  In  tlie 

[linloi  of  a  Gommon  interest  which,  being  based  in 

delusion,  malcce  them  even  more  averse  tlian  tlie 

JTeeli-dressed    vulgar    always    are    fitMu    tlie    free 

exercise  of  reason  and  the  bold  investiiratiou  of 

-truth 

"  That  the  faculty  of  amuaing  rhould  be  the 

-onjjr  passport  of  a  literary  work  In  the  hands  of 
ywaeno/    Fejkderm    J0    not    very    surprising    oven. 


especially  when  we  consider  that  the  English  arc 
the  most  thinking  people  in  the  universe,  but  that 
the  faculty  of  amusing  should  be  as  transient  as 
the  gloss  on  a  new  coat  does  seem  at  flrrt  view  a 
little  singular :  for  though  all  fashionable  people 
read  (gentlemen  who  have  been  at  coUeiie  ex- 
cepted), yet  as  the  soul  of  fashion  is  novelty,  the 
books  and  the  dre«s  of  the  season  go  out  01  date 
together,  and  to  be  amused  this  year  by  that 
wliich  amused  others  twelve  months  ago  would 
be  to  plead  guilty  to  the  heinous  charge  of  having 
lived  out  of  the  world 

"  The  stream  of  new  boolLS,  therefore,  floats  nver 
the  parlour  window  and  the  drawing-room  table 
to  furuish  a  ready  answer  to  the  grunt  of  Mr. 
Dnnothing  as  to  what  Mrs.  DolUtle  and  hep 
daughters  arc  reading,  and  having  served  tijis 
purpose,  and  that  of  putting  the  nionster  Time 
to  a  temporary  death,  flows  peacefully  on  towards 
the  port  «:)f  Lethe. 

"  Tlie  nature  of  this  lighter  literature  and  the 
changes  which  it  has  undergone  with  the  fashions 
of  the  laat  twenty  years  deserve  consideration  for 
many  reasons,  and  afford  a  subject  of  specula- 
tion wliich  may  be  ajnuslng  and.  I  would  add, 
instructive,  were  I  not  fearful  of  terrifying 
my  renders  in  the  outset.  As  everj-  age  has  its 
own  character,  manners,  and  amuseincnts,  which 
are  intluenced  evt-n  in  their  lightest  forms,  by  the 
fundamental  features  of  the  time,  the  moral 
and  political  character  of  the  age  or  nation 
may  be  read  by  an  attentive  observer,  even  in  its 
liglitest  literature,  how  remote  soever  '  prima 
facie  '  from  morals  and  politics, 

"  The  newspaper  of  the  day,  the  favourite 
magazine  of  tlie  month,  the  t4iur,  the  novel,  and 
the  {loom  which  are  mottt  recent  in  date  and  most 
fashtonablc  in  name,  fumiah  fortli  the  morning 
table  of  the  litenuy  dilettante.  The  springtide  of 
metropolitan  favour  Hoats  these  int^JJectunl 
deliciffi  into  every  minor  town  and  village  in  tlie 
kingdom,  where  they  circle  through  tlieir  little 
day  in  the  eddies  of  reading  societies. 

■*  It  may  be  questioned  iiow  far  the  favour  of 
fashiiinable  readcnt  is  a  criterion  of  literary  merit. 
It  is  certain  that  no  work  attracts  any  great  share 
of  general  attention  whidi  does  not  [>ns«esfl 
rotiBiflerable  originality  and  great  power  to 
iutcr-'st  and  amuse.  But  (originality  will  some- 
times attract  uulicp  for  a  little  space,  as  Mr. 
Romeo  Loates  attracted  some  three  or  four 
nudiencee  by  the  mere  force  of  excessive  ahmir- 
dity  ;  and  the  records  of  the  Minerva  Press  will 
shew  that  a  considerable  number  of  readers  can 
be  IhiUi  iuterestetl  and  omiised  by  works  com- 
pletely expurgated  of  all  the  higher  qualities  of 
mind.  And  without  dragging  reluctant  dullness 
back  t/i-day,  let  us  only  consider  the  names  of 
Monk  Lewis  and  of  Kotzebue — they  have  sunk 
in  a  few  j'ears  int^t  comparative  oblivion — and 
we  shall  see  that  the  condition  of  a  fashionable 
autlxT  differs  very  little  In  stability  from  that  of 
a  political  demagogue. 

"  Mr.  Walter  Scott  seems  an  exception  to  this. 
Having  long  occupied  the  poetical  thrfiue,  ho 
seems  indeed  t«  havL*  been  depoMxl  by  Ixird 
Bjrron,  but  he  has  risen  with  redou)>Ied  might 
as  a  nnvelist,  and  lias  thus  continued  (fun  the 
publication  of  *  The  Lay  of  the  Last  Minstrel  ' 
the  most  popular  writer  of  bis  time — perhaps 
the  most  universally  successful  in  his  own  day  of 
any  writer  tlat  ever  lived.     He  has  tiic  rare  talent

Sib  Thomas  Cooke,  Ma\'oa  of  London. 
— TJie  *  D.N.B.*  article  on  tliis  civic  worthy 
is  not  very  satisfactory.  He  is  describt^ 
therein  as  "  Lord  Mayor,''  which  is  certainly 
an  anachronism.  It  is  alsu  stated  in  the 
orijitinftl  i»8Ue  of  the  '  D.N.B.*  that  lie  "  whs 
olected  AJderraan  of  Vintry  Ward  in  1464,*' 
and  discharged  from  his  office  of  AJderraan  of 
Broad  Street  Ward  in  Ueoeinber,  1468,  but 
reinstated  in  ^'  the  following  year."  Now 
his  election  for  Vintry  took  j)Uice  on  4 
October.  1456  {Joiirnare,  fo.  107):  he  was 
removed  to  Broad  Street  in  1458,  discharged 
by  command  of  the  king  (Edward  iV.) 
21  Xoventber,  1468  (Journal  7.  fo.  182), 
and  again  elected  Alderman  (but  of  Bread 
Street,  not  Broad  Street)  in  October,  1470 
— not  1469,  ae  *'  the  following  year  "  of  the 
text  suggests  (Joxirnal  7,  fo,  225b).  Some  of 
tltese  corrections  are  made,  at  my  instance, 
in  llw!>  now  issiui  of  the  '  D.N.B.'  The 
\vTitf»r  of  tlie  article  has  missed  the  fact  that 
Cooke  was  M.P.  for  London  in  the  Parlia- 
ment of  1460 ;  and  although  he  referi*  to  him 
as  a  member  of  the  Parliament  of  1470, 
he  does  not  note  that  he  repreaonted  the 
City  then,  as  at  Mie  earlier  date. 

"Sir"  John  Stockton  is  a  misnomer  in 
the  case  of  the  Mayor  to  whom  Cooke  acted 
as  Deputy  in  1470-71,  as  he  was  not  knighted 
until  after  Edwartl's  victory  at  Tewketbury. 

I  do  not  know  upon  what  authority  Cooke 
is  stated  to  have  been  one  of  the  leaders  of 
the  Yorkist  party  in  the  City.  All  his 
later  associations  were  with  the  Lancastriunn. 
He  had  marriixl  the  daughter  of  Philip 
Malpas,  who  was  a  leading  Lancastrian  ; 
he  was  ejected  from  his  Aldermanry  by  Ed- 
word  IV.,  and  restored  to  it  during  the 
short  interval  (1470-71)  of  Henry  Vl.'s 
R&etoratioD,    beina    attain    turned    out    on 


Edward*s  rettirn.  It  is  true  that,  as  is 
pointed  out  in  the  *  D.N.B.,'  he  was  made  a 
k.B.  by  Edward  IV.  in  May,  1465  ;  but  so 
also  at  the  same  time  was  John  Plomer,  who 
was  removed  from  his  Aldermanry  (and 
charged  \vith  treason,  on  account  of  his 
Lancastrian  sympathies)  in  1468,  a  few 
montlis  liefore  (jooke  liimself.  It  is,  of 
course,  posftible  that  Cooke  amy  have  been 
a  leader  first  on  one  side  and  then  on  the 
other ;  huU  if  so,  I  should  like  to  have 
more  certain  evidence  of  his  early  Yorkist 
sjanpatliiea  than  the  article  in  the  *  D.N.B.* 
supplies.  *Vlfhkij  B.  Bkavkn.

*' Bullion."— The  '  N.E.D.'  tells  us  that 
this  word  is  first  recorded  in  the  Statutes  of 
the  Realm,  a.d.  1336,  where  it  is  spelt 
bullion,  as  now.  It  is  further  said  that  tliis 
form  **  appears  to  point  tt*  identity  with 
F.  bou ilfon,''  wliich  is  derived  from  F. 
botiiliir  (A.F.  boilUr),  to  boil. 

T\xiA  solution  is  as  good  as  settled  by  the 
fact  that,  in  anotlier  MS.  of  the  above 
Statutes,  the  word  is  actually  spt-lt  hoillon, 
the  connexion  of  which  with  tiie  A.F.  boiltir 
cannot  easily  be  missed.

(in  lieraldry  :  Chequy  sable  and  argent), 
and  that  it  was  called  after  a  famous  dancer

GeoRGE  I.*s  Statub  at  Hackwood. — 
Id  front  of  this  house  is  an  equestrian  figure, 
in  lead,  of  George  I.,  presented  by  hiiu  to 
one  of  the  Dukes  of  Bolton  who  resided 
here  in  the  eighteenth  century.  I  think 
that  it  must  either  have  been  identical 
with  or  have  closely  resembled  tlie  one  which 
I  remember  as  a  boy  in  Leicester  Square, 
and  which  came  to  such  an  ignominiouit  end. 

I  have  read  soniewhere  that  there  was 
another  mounted  effigy  of  the  same  king, 
also  of  lead*  and  gilded,  which  stood  in 
front  of  Canons  in  Middlesex. 

Readers  of  '  N.  A  Q.'  have.  I  believe. 
made  a  study  of  the  question  of  royal  and 
other  statuea  botli  in  and  outside  of  London. 
I  wonder,  therefore,  if  thoy  could  refer  mo 
to  any  8uurc«3  of  information  about  any  of 
these  figures,  or  could  tell  me  if  there  is 
any  statue  of  George  I.  now  8ur\'iving

who  was  a  novoliat.  and  is  mentioned  in

"  Teart"  (U  S.  i.  466.  497).— This  word 
is  in  use  in  North  Wiltshire  at  the  present 
time  (I  liave  heard  it  several  times  recently) 
with  tlie  significanc©  of  something  "  ahan*-*' 

It  is  described  in  *  A  GloHsary  of  Words 
used  in  the  County  of  Wiltshire/  by  Y.  E. 
Dortnell    and   the'  Rev.    E.    H.    Goddard : 

1,  painfully    tender — sore,    as    a    wound  j 

2,  stinging,  as  a  blister  ;  3,  tart,  as  beer 
turning  sour. 

See  also  Aubrey,  *  Nat.  Hist.  Wilts.'  p.  22, 
"  it  is  so  cold  anJd  /orl,"  applied  to  a  river, 


and  "  it  is  so  acrtmanious,

I  Iiave  met  with  the  word  *'  teart  "  in 
Gluucesterslure,  where  it  means  sometJiing 
that  smarts  or  is  painful.  If  any  one  is 
suffering  from  a  wound  or  a  sore  spot,  the 
question  there  will  be,  not  "  Does  it  hurt  T  " 
but  '*  la  it  teart  !  "  as  an  expression  of  sym- 
patJiy.  J.  Baonall, 

Is  not  this  word  tlie  adjective  "teart" 
used  as  a  substantive  T  The  word  (pro- 
nounced "teert")  used  to  bo  continually 
heard  in  Gloucostershire  when  I  lived  in 
the  Cotawold  district,  and  can  hardly  have 
become  obsolete  yet.  A  painful  cut»  boil, 
or  wound,  too  tender  to  oe  touched,  was 
always  described  *is  '*  terrible  teart."  Tlie 
stinging  sensation  inflicted  by  severe  cold 
would  often  draw  forth  some  such  greeting 
as  "  Zharp  this  marnin',  zur.  yent  it  ?  I 
d'vind  it  main  teart  to  the  vengers,'*

Flax  Boubton  (11  S.  i.  389.  438.  497).— 
Tne  explanation  of  a  place-name  does  not 
depend  upon  whether  it  is  acceptable  or  not. 
It  depenas  solely  upon  evidence. 

The  guess  that  Boui*ton  is  short  for 
Bournton  is  idle  ;  for  if  this  were  the  caso. 
such  a  spelling  could  be  found.  And  there 
would  then  be  evidence,  and  spoculation 
would  cease. 

Meanwhile,  wo  know  that  the  name  is 
not  uncommon.  Thoro  Is  a  Bourt^tn  in 
Berkshire,  and  another  in  Gloucestershire, 
bath  found  in  Anglu-Saxoii  ciiarters. 

In  Birch,  *  Cartulariiun  Saxonicmn,*  i.  516, 
in  n  charter  dated  821,  wo  find  "  Soriuon- 
ham,  Burgtun,"  *!fcc.  ThU  refers  to  Boiirton 
near  Shrivenham,  Berkshire,  in  which  Bour- 
stands  for  burg,  another  speUing  of  biirh, 
wluch  is  now  8]>elt  borough.  It  therefore 
means  **  borough -town." 

In  the  same,  iii.  37,  we  find  *'  to  burhtune"; 
whore  burhtuyie  ia  the  dative  of  bur/Uun,  as 
above.  The  reference  is  to  Bourton-on- 
the-Water  in  Gloucestershire.  Hence  this 
likowiso  means  *'  borough-town." 

The«e  two  independent  examples  at  once 
establish  the  probability  that  the  same 
explanation  is  applicable  to  other  cases. 

The  spelling  with  ou  provos  notliing  at  all ; 
Burton  is  a  form  tliat  arose  iu  the  thirteenth 
century^,  and  Bourton  is  a  later  fonu, 
commoner  in  tho  fourteenth  anti  fifteenth 
centuries.  Tliis  in  easily  verified  by  referring 
to    the    'N.E.D.'    or    to    Stratmann.     In 


Chaucer's  *  Wife  of  Bath's  Tale.'  D.  870. 
we  find  the  plural  burghes ;  and  in  ^  Lyd- 
gate's  Minor  Poems,*  p.  210,  we  find  the 
phu'al  bourghes.  Tho  modem  pronunciation 
18  no  sure  guide,  because  in  a  large  number 
of  instances  it  has  been  affected  b^  the 
insinuating  influence  of  tho  usual  spoUmg. 

Any  one  who  desires  further  information 
will  find  it  in  Ellis's  great  work  on  '  English 
Pronunciation  *  ;  he  convincingly  shows 
that  the  An^lo- Saxon  u  was  replaced  by  the 
Korman  ou  in  hundreds  of  instances,  chiefly 
in  the  thirteenth  centurv  or  later.

(11  S.  i.  447).  —  Dr.  Irving,  in  a  brief 
sketch  of  Duncan  Liddel  contained  in  his 
*  Lives  of  Scottish  Writers,*  implies  that  he 
wrote  various  matlxematioaJ  and  astro- 
nomical treatises  as  wel  I  as  the  medical 
publications  which  generally  apjiear  after

was  no  doubt  one  of  the  treatises  to  wiiich 
Irving  refers.  His  sJietch,  however.  dt<als 
mainly  with  the  tn«dieal  works  which  Liddel 
produced.  Potinius  is  not  mentioned  ;

to  be  the  title  of  some  sort  of  funeral  oration

in  1604.  Yet  in  Darling^s  *  CyolopiediB

Prof.  Valentine  Schindlor  of  Holmstadt  did 
not  die  until  1611.  some  years  aftor  Liddel 
had  returned  to  Scotland.  Whieli  of  the

Hmsb  IB,  I  tlilnk.  a  flight  error  in  Mr.  Udal's 
intwwtfipg  reminiscences  of  "The  Cock" 
in  Fleet  Street.  He  saj-B  that  "'  the  gilt 
effigy"  (claimed  to  be  of  Grinling  Gibbonn's 
carving)  **  reappeared  in  its  old  place  over 
the  doorway  "  of  the  premises  occupied  on 
the  south  side  of  Fleet  Street,  wliich  were 
bcrih  in  the  P^«c®  of  tJie  old  tavern  on  tJie 
nrth  aid*.  The  0>ck  si^n,  liowever.  outside 
ft.  Fleet  Street,  is,  I  Ijolievo,  but  a  facsimile 
id  the  original,  now  in  the  grill-room. 
Ttm  I  Inamt  from  personal  iuquirios  some  ten 
jvan  ago»  and  I  vr&s  informed  tliat  a  portion 
of  Che  nrigin&I  bird  had  been  cut  away,  for 


the  purposo  of  moro  conveniently  fixing  it 
in  its  placo. 

A  few  years  before  the  reign  of  the  "  plump 
h«ad  wait«r,'*  a  pleasant  picture  of  the 
tavern  is  afforded  by  a  peep  into  '  The 
Epicure's  Almanack  *  of  1815  : — 

"  How  wp  cauw  t4)  think  of  the  Cock  at  Temple 
Bar,  by  daylight,  wc  cannot  teU.  It  bos  the  beet 
piirter  in  Itondon,  fine  poarhfd  oggs  and  other 
tight  things  seldom  cftllcd  for  h«ore  sevon  or 
eight  in  the  t'vt^uiug.  Therv  are  two  good  tviuloDa 
for  IhtH  :  Istly,  ihi*  room  at  Mid-day  Is  alinuKt  aa 
dark  as  Erebus,  so  that  the  blazing-faced  Bar* 
dolph  hiiuBclf  would  hardly  be  able  to  quaff  a 
tankaril  by  the  light  nf  hia  own  countenance. 
2ndiy,  the  situatiun  of  the  Cock  is  just  half  way 
betwcM?n  the  hi'nrl  of  th<!  city  and  the  purlieus  of 
Covent  Garden  and  Drurj'  Lane.... One  box  at 
the  end  of  the  room  is  occupied  by  a  knot  of 
sages  who  admit  strangers  into  their  fraternity 
on  being  presented  with  a  crtiwn  bowl  rif  punch.. 
Mine  host  used  to  smoke  liis  pipe  among  them 
nightly.  Marsh,  the  ovBtcr-man,  attends  here 
the  whole  »ca*jn  with  his  Natlvea.  Miltons  and 
l*yileets :  he  hath  thn  constancy  of  the  swallow, 
and  in  the  opening  of  the  shells  the  dexterity  of 
the  s((uirrol.' 

But  somo  considerablo  time  before  Tenny- 
son patronized  the  chops  and  steaks  and  the 
port  of  the  old  tavern,  to  say  notliing  of  its 
oysters,  and  long  before  the  poet  jocularly 
resented  on  a  certain  occasion  the  omnibus 
conductor*s  remark  "Full  inside"  as  he 
entered  tlie  vehicle  aftf*r  a  meal  in  which  the 
flavour  of  the  meat  was  quit«  independent 
of  sauces,  William  the  head  waiter  hail 
boon  known  to  lmbitu6s  of  the  place.  A 
writer  in  The  S-porUtmana  Magazine  of, 
I  Uiink.  the  year  1857  (p.  104).  says  that  he 
"  had,  like  othei-s,  no  thought  superior  to  the 
Cock  Btout  fnmi  the  glaas.  ..  .William  knew  our

<ir  from  tho  ownershin  of  one  having  Kemp 
for  hU  Kumame.  Ot  cours<»  after  tlie  fif- 
tocntU  century  plocos  nowly  namwl  "  Kemp's 
Held  "  would  donotu  suclidesiprnation  to  be 
duo  to  ]X*aseK»ion  or  holding  ;  but  when  the 
Hold -name  dates  mnu  a  much  earUer  period. 
it  would  fteem  likely  tliat  the  land  wan 
attaolu«d  to  an  oflRcial  po«t  rather  than  to  an 
individual.  For  inst^ince,  Parker*fi  Field 
and  Piirkoraiioiwo  would  betheoffioial  holding 
of  tlie  parker  or  park-keeper.  Tiio  jjuint  is 
one  upon  wluch  the  late  Prof.  Copinger 
mif^ht  have  thrown  tjje  light  of  liistorical 
facts.  Canipinp  fields  were  what  might 
now  bo  termed  **  sport-^jroimds  *'  or  *'re- 
«roation  fields/'  not,  as  might  be  supposed, 

fJaOes  where  warriors  pitched  their  tents, 
t  should  also  bo  borne  in  mind  that  many 
of  the  place-names  now  beginning  with 
Kemp.  Kem,  or  Ken  were  certainly  not 
named  from  fti«ociation  with  a  Kenipe,  the 
eiwlier  spellings  being  such  as  Kemys  or 
"Chenys. 

In  the  absenoo  of  e\idenoe  of  a  manorial 
warrior  holding  his  field,  like  a  knight,  by 
virtue  of  his  fighting  ser\ices,  I  would  note 
that  in  1205  Kemne  the  "  Bowmaker " 
had  a  grant  of  a  siuall  holding  until  the  King 
could  provide  for  lum  by  marriage.  In  tliis 
caae  the  lands  were  to  be  worth  60  Bhillings 
annually,  and  were  worth  51.  10s.  Qd.  in 
1277,  by  which  time  they  belonged  to  the 
burgesses  of  Newcastle,  Northiunberland. 
This  Kempe  seems  to  have  been  so  named 
from  actually  btMiig  a  warrior,  acquiring  his 
lands  by  both  UKing  his  bow  and  making 
bows  for  other  royal  archers.

STRETTEIX-UrTEKSOS  (llS.i.  448,  477). — 
From  ft  list  of  auction-sale  catalogues 
ranging  from  1637  to  1841  it  appears  that 
throe  important  book-salos  took  placo  in 
London  in  1832.  Two  of  those  wero  con- 
ducted by  Sotlieby  &  Son,  and  the  third 
by  Evans.  Ttie  library  disposed  of  by 
ffvans  was  that  of  tlie  Rev.  Dr.  Valpy,  a 
diistingtiished  educationist,  and  head  master 
for  many  years  of  Heading  Orammar  School. 
Tiie  sale  continued,  or  was  advertised  to 
continue,  for  ten  daya.  Dr.  Valpy's  library 
was  sold  in  his  lifetime.  Having  retired 
from  the  mastership  of  Reading  School 
owing  to  age  and  infirmity,  ho  went  to  reside 
with  a  son  in  Ix>ndon,  and  in  consequence  of 
this  change  got  rid  of  his  library.  Does 
this  catalogue  render  any  assistance  to  Mb. 
Clebients  T  It  does  not  quite  tally  with 
tlie  one  he  mentions,  but  comes  pretty  near 
it.  Dr.  Valpy,  it  should  be  stated,  was  a 
great  admirer  of  £Shakee[>eare.  On  the  other 
hand,  it  must  bo  remembered  that  E.  V. 
Utte»on  possessed  a  First  Folio  Sliake- 
Bpeare.  W.  Scott. 

CJeorge  Colman"*3  '  Man  of  thb  People,'

of  'Public  Characters,'  published  in  1801, 
27  )3agos  are  devoted  to  the  early  life  and 
writings  of  Cieorge  Colrnan  tlie  younger,  who 
was  tlien  Li\'ing.  No  reference  is  made  to 
the  poem  on  Fox  mentioned  in  *  Random 
Records,'  quoted  by  Mr.  P.  J.  Axdebson  ; 
but  mention  is  made  of  young  Colman's 
writing  some  doggerel  veraes  in  an  album, 
in  a  post-house  at  t*a%vrencekirk.  The  lines. 
20  in  numbt*r,  are  given,  but  some  of  them 
would  now  be  1  larUJy  considered  fit  for 
publication.  They  commence  : —

LittlnknnwIpHge  f  gut,  hut  a  groat  deal  of  spleen. 

These  album  lines  are  said  to  have  been 
Cohnan's  first  attempt ;  and  as  in  '  Random 
Records '  he  says  J^e  UTote  the  poem  on 
Fox  immediately  after  returning  from 
Lawrencekirk,  that  must  have  been  Iiia 
second  attempt.

'•  Hou-DE  Men  "  :  Robin  Hood's  Men 
<11  S.  i.  346,  493).— It  may  not  bo  entirely 
iminteresting  to  add  to  fila.  A.  Rhodes'^ 
rei>ly  that  in  the  church ^vardens'  accounts 
of^Stratton,  Cornwall,  there  is  mention  made 
of  persona  who  went  by  the  name  of  ""  Robyn 
hode  and  his  men."'  In  lfi36  tiie  church 
received  of  "  Jolm  Marvs  and  his  comj^anv 
tJiat  playd  Hohin  Hoode  1/.  18*.  4d.,"  and 


in  1538  the  still  larger  sum  of  3/.  0«.  \^d. 
Hiese  were  raunifioent  gifts  for  ecclesiantical 
purposes  in  those  days.  They  probably 
indicate  that  the  players  and  those  who 
hearkened  to  them  were  adiierents  of  the 
ancient  faith  with  no  ideas  of  change,  but 
they  c^uld  not  be  in  any  sense  a  ffuild  at* 
tached  to  the  churcli.  liobin  Hood,  though 
a  highly  pojiular  cliaracter,  not  only  in 
England,  but,  as  we  have  been  informed, 
in  the  Lowlands  of  Scotland  also,  was  by 
no  means  a  saintly  person,  and  neither  he 
nor  liis  followers  were  calculated  to  moke  a 
religious  impression  on  tlieir  neiglilx>urs. 

Tho  l>ody  of  young  men  referred  to  were 
probably  Ught-heartocl  fellows  wJio  devoted 
themselves,  when  time  was  not  pressing, 
tu  the  amusement  of  their  fellu  w-to\\'nspeople. 
Times  were,  however,  rapidly  approB<*hing 
when  the  entertainment  of  others  became 
regarded  as  sometliing  in  itself  unholy,  for 
we  find  that  so  early  aa  1543  Martha  Hose 
and  Margaret  Martin  paid  tlu*ee  shillings 
for  the  "wode  of  Robj'n  Hodo  is  bowse.' 
It  is  impossible  to  say  whether  it  had  been 
pulled  do%vn  by  some  local  authority,  or 
whether  tlie  owner  had  demolished  it 
because  tlie  sport-s  he  had  organized  in 
former  yeara  had  ceased  to  give  pleasure.

opposite  the  Maiden  Lane  Railway  Station, 
is  a  small  inn  or  puhlic-house  called  '*  Th^ 
Fortune  of  War."     I  remember  when   this 

Sortion  of  York  Road  used  to  be  called 
[aiden  Lane.  Beginning  at  King's  Cross, 
it  crossed  Battle  Bridge,  and  passed  Maiden 
Lane  Station  and  "The  Fortune  of  War." 
Bamsbury  Square  being  more  north  on  tlie 
right,  and  the  Roman  Road  crossing  Maiden 
LAne  diagonally. 

The  name  of  this  little  inn.  wliatever  its 
origin,  seems  peculiarly  appropriate  to  its 
situation  ;  for,  as  Thomburj'  says.  London 
tradition  considers  that  Boadicea's  great 
battle  with  Suetonius  occurred  here  C  Old 
and  New  London.'  ii.  276).  Battle  Bridpe 
would  commemorate  the  British  queen's

{the  tmmi«diate  cause  of  the  war)  were  with 
her  in  her  chariot  {as  in  the  new  sculpture 
on  Westminster  Bridge),  and  there  elso 
perished  ;  while  the  Roman  Road,  rimjiing 
west,  wovikl  be  the  route  by  which  Suetonius 
hurried  up  from  Wales  to  save  London.

As  Miss  Shodlock  has  already  tried  thtui  in  that

justiflcd.  We  have  read  them  with  pleasure, 
and  arc  glad  to  think  that,  just  as  Western  art  is 
lieing  revivified  by  Oriental  influences — If  all  that 
we  read  is  true — so  the  tales  of  the  East  are 
being  addt-d  to  our  store  cjf  legend.  Mr.  Marnia- 
dukp  PicktbttU  and  other  chise  students  of  the 
East  have  pointed  out  the  delightful  humour  of 
Oriental  tale-telling,  which  wins  some  of  the 
applause  here  devoted  to  the  novel.  Miss  hhed-

Of  Shakes poftrt"  and  Teimyeon  we  get  four  pieces, 
of  W'nrdBworth  seven,  of  iifwinburiie  three.  The

Santayana  are  notable,  Uujugn  not  entiroly 
«accese>ful  in  tcchulquc ;  whue  Mr.  Hardy's 
'  Dark.linu  Thrush  '  Bhows  his  wonderful  power  of

Then^  are  two  Indexes,  one  of  first  lines,  and 
another  of  authors.  Such  aids  ougiii  to  appear  in

by  the  recent  accession  to  that  title  of  Prince

many  years.  Tlie  books  are,  ae  usual,  ndnura>>ly

luitrriage  by  capture,  which  has  barely  disappeared 
in  Corsica,  and  up-to-date  aviation  are  con- 
sidered equally  worthy  nf  a  place  in  its  hospit-

Barbary  cooat. ' '  The  prisoners  were,  however, 
brought  together  at  Koohefort  and  embarked 
on  twj  worthless  vessels,  the  WashlDgton  and  the 
Deux  .\58oci^,  which  could  not  put  to  sea  on 
account  of  the  presence  of  the  English  fleet. 
■•  Henied  togetlier  between-decks,  receiving  in- 
flufHcient  and  unbealtliy  food,  and  treated  with 
KjaJjt^MxJ-a/  barbarism,  the  prisoners  died  by 
haadredm.     Aftet    Thertnidor  the  Burvivors  were 


landed,  and,  in  tlie  end,  set  at  Uljerty.**  In 
1707,  when  the  Directory  was  preparing  the 
politieoJ  stroke  of  Pructidor,  "  a  corvette  wan 
secretly  armed  at  Kochelle  to  transport  con- 
demned people  to  Senegal :  it  was  the  Vaillanto. 
conunauded  by  Lieutenant  Jurien  de  Oravidre. 
The  day  that  the  pretended  couspimcy  was  dis- 
covered the  vessel  had  been  ready  for  a  month, 
but  at  the  laAt  moment  tlie  destination  woj 
changed,  and  according  to  the  counsels  of 
calliep,  Cayenne  was  rhusen.  The  first  com 
only  included  politicians,  but  the  D^ade  and 
Bayonnatse  Untk.  U*  Guiana  two  hundred  and  six^r^ 
tliroe  Tiric^tts  ;  another  vessel  was  seized  by  the 
Englisn,  and  as  leavinK  the  ports  became  danger- 
ous, on  account  of  Knglish  cruisers,  the  other 
d^poriit,  to  the  number  of  one  thousand  one 
himdred  and  seventy-two,  were  relegated  to  tXw 
isliuids  of  fW  and  Ol^rttn."  The  phrase  "un- 
heard-of barljorism  "  can  scarcely  be  exact.  It 
was  impossible  for  the  men  of  the  eighteenth 
century  to  outdo  some  of  their  prcdeceaaors  in 
ferocity.  But  tiiat  CAUousness.  combined  with 
lack  of  organirjitinn  in  providing  f<»r  the  needs 
of  the  unfortumttea  in  iheir  grip,  destroyed  many 
of  their  victims  slowly  and  cuserably  is  not  to  h& 
doubted.

SWEDENBORG    MANUSCRIPT 
MISSns'G. 

One  hundred  and  thirty-«ight  years  ago, 
viz.,  on  Sunday,  29  March,  1772,  Emanuel 
Sw^enborg  died  in  his  London  lodging 
at  26,  Great  Bath  Stroet.  Coldbath  Fields, 
s  house  which,  judged  by  its  present  appear- 
ance, muflt  have  been  a  very  rnodest  liabita- 
tion  for  a  man  of  his  social  st-anding.  His 
**  whole  library  *'  there,  we  are  told,  had 
consisted  of  a  Hebrew  Bible,  and  it  was 
[iven*  as  his  burial  fee,  to  his  countryman 
Ferelius.     Some  of  Swedonborg's  M3S. 

>robably  memorandum  books  and  indexes 
his  wrttinop)  had  accompanied  his  final 
Journey  to  London,  and  these,  witli  his 
other  personal  effects,  were  immodiotely 
after  his  death  dispatched  to  Stockholm 
by  his  friend  and  man -of -business  Mr. 
Charles  Lindegren.  Swedonborg  having  left 
no  wUU  all  his  property  passed  into  the 
hands  of  hw  lieira-at-law.  His  library, 
which  had  remained  in  Sweden,  was  sold 
at  the  **  Bok-Auctions-Kammaren  i  Stook- 
holm  d.  28  Nov.,  1772,"  and  the  printed 
catalogtie  of  th»  sale,  reproduced  m  fac- 
simile by  Mr.  Alfred  H.  Stroh  at  Stockholm 
in  1907,  forms  an  interesting  conaT>eotufl  of 
the  great  Swede's  multifariotia  stuaios. 

A  month  before  this  sale,  viz.,  on  27 
October,  1772,  the  whole  of  Swedenborg's 
extant  MSS.,  and  the  "*  author's  copies"  of 
niany  of  his  printed  works,  were,  on  behalf 
of  his  heirs,  formally  presented  to  the  Royal 
Academy  of  Sciences  of  Stockholm,  in  the 
library  of  which  institution  they  ha\'o  boon 
preserved  ever  since.  thougl\  not  wliolly 
exempt  from  vnobwitudes.  The  gift  was 
acoompanied  by  a  Hat  of  the  MSS.,  which 
was  prmtod  at  Stockholm  in  1801,  and  again 
in    1820,    and    in    r^imxluoed,    with   similar 

lists,  upon  pp.  7211  to  800  of  Dr.  R.  L. 
TafePB  oolieotion  of  *  Documents  oonoem- 
ing  Swedonborg/  vol.  ii.  part  ii.,  London, 
J877. 


Several  of  these  MSS.  whicii  liad  not  been 
published  in  their  author's  lifetime — some- 
of  wliich,  indeed,  he  seems  to  have  intended 
only  for  his  own  reference — have  been 
since  printed  by  permission  of  the  autho- 
rities of  the  Royal  Academy  of  Sciencjos,  and 
with  their  co-op>eration.  Among  theee  is  an 
MS.  which  bears  no  title,  but  which  wa» 
named  by  Benedict  Chastanier  (who  in  1791 
issued  abortive  proposals  for  printing  the 
work)  *  Diarium  Spirituale,'  by  which  title^ 
it  has  been  subsequently  known.  The 
'  Diariiun  Spirituale '  was  printed  by  Dr. 
J.  F.  I.  Tafel,  Librarian  in  the  XTniversity 
of  Tiibingen,  at  that  town  in  1844-50.  An 
English  translation,  as  '  Ihe  Spiritual  Diary.' 
extending  as  far  as  paragraph  1538,  waa 
publislied  in  London  in  1846  ;  and  another, 
continued  to  paragraph  3427,  at  New  York 
and  Boston,  U.S.A.,  in  1880-72.  A  com- 
plete Kngtiah  translation  appeared  in  London 
in  1883-1902,  and  a  pliototyped  fanaimilo 
of  the  original  MS.  at  Stockholm  in  1901-5. 
In  eaoh  of  these  five  editions  paragraphs. 
I  to  148  are  "  conspicuous  by  their  absence**; 
but  in  the  latest  English  version  their 
place  is  occupied  by  a  translation  of  the 
brief  analyses  of  tlie  contents  of  these  para- 
^apha  as  noted  by  their  author  in  his  MS. 
index  to  the  work. 

The  existence  of  this  defect  has  been 
known  from  1772  onwards.  It  is  noted* 
at  No.  7,  vols.  iv.  and  v.,  in  tlie  above- 
mentioned  Heirs*  List  compiled  in  tliat 
year,  but  is  there  exaggerated  so  as  to 
incltide  paragraphs  1  to  205.  an  error  due 
obviously  to  a  too  hasty  glance  at  the  MS. 
which  upon  ita  surface  seems  to  justify  Uie- 
atatement.  Special  starch  has  boon  made 
for  Uio  missing  section  (eg,,  by  Dr.  J.  F, 
lafol  at  Stookliolm  in  1859,  and  by  his 
nephew.  Dr.  R,  L.  Tafel,  at  the  same  city 
in  1808).  but  without  suooess ;  and  i 
disappearance  has  come  to  be  oonsidered 
abeolute  and  complete. 

As  lone  ago  as  1842  inquiries  made  on 
behalf  orthe  Swedonborg  Society  elicited 
the  information  that  in  the  library  of  a 
certain  oongregation  of  *' New-Church  ** 
people  was  a  volume  of  Swedeuborg's 
writings  to  which  was  afllixed  a  fragment  of 
hi.^  MS.  *' evidently  cut  from  some  book." 
The  volume  in  question  formed  one  of  the 
"objects  of  interest"  exJiibited  to  the 
visitors  at  the  International  Swodenborg 
Conp^Q6s  held  in  London  throughout  the 
week  ending  to-day. 

In  his  copious  '  Bibliography  of  Swcdon-

William  Bonny,  mentioned  by  W.  C.  B.» 
was  the  tirst  man  to  set  up  an  mdependent 
permanent  press  in  Bristol.  He  was  origin- 
ally in  businosa  in  London,  where  he  had 
mot  with  little  success.  \\Txen,  in  1695. 
Parliament  omitted  to  continue  the  law  sub- 
jecting all  printed  books  and  pamphlets  to 
ofBcial  censorahip.  and  virtually  confining 
the  provincial  press  of  England  to  Oxford, 
Cambridge,  and  York,  Bonny  obtained 
leave  from  the  Corporation  of  Briatol  to 
start  in  business  as  a  printer  in  the  city, 
but,  out  of  consideration  for  the  local  book- 
sellers, it  was  stipulated  that  ho  should 
carry  on  no  other  business  than  that  of  a 
printer. 

Bonny  printed  Jolm  Gary's  '  An  Essay  on 
the  State  of  England,  in  relation  to  its 
■f  rade,  its  Poor,  and  ita  Taxes.  For  carrying 
on  the  Present  War  against  Franco,'  which 
was  nubUshed  in  November,  1695.  and  was 
the  nrst  book  printed  at  Bristol  by  a  per- 
manently established  local  press.  John 
Locke  said  it  was  tho  host  book  on  the 
subject  of  trade  that  he  had  ever  read. 
Cary  was  a  freeman  and  merchant  of  Bristol, 
and  his  subsequent  esaay  on  pauperism 
led  to  the  establishment,  in  May.  1696.  of 
the  Bristol  Incorporation  of  the  Poor — the 
first  body  of  the  kind  in  this  coimtry 
created  by  Act  of  Parliament.  The  name 
continued  in  use  until  1808,  when  it  was 
clianged  to  Bristol  Board  of  Guardians. 

We  owe  to  Bonny  the  earliest  newspaper 
published  in  Bristol.  This  was  The  Brietol 
Posi-Boy.  Tho  first  nunibers  are  lost,  but 
if  No.  01,  issued  on  12  Aug..  1704,  represents 
a  correct   numbering,    then   the   first   copy

_ippeared  in  November,  1702.  That  must  not 
"be  accepted  as  proved,  for  those  early 
printers  were  a  little  careless  in  the  matter 
-of  numberinR.  StiJU  there  'm  very  good 
reason  for  believing  that  1 702  was  the  year  of 
the  start  of  the  enterprise  at  oflRcca  in  Com 
Street,  where,  apparently  freed  from  the  re- 
fltrictions  iraposod  when  ho  came  to  Bristol, 
the  printer  dealt  in  charcoal,  old  rope.  Bibles. 
Welsh  prayer-books,  music,  maps,  paper- 
hangings,  and  forms  for  the  use  of  ale-house 
keepers  and  officers  on  privateers. 

In  1713  Samuel  Farley  published  the 
first  number  of  his  Postman,  the  ancoetor  of 
the  present  Times  and  Aftrror,  and  the 
Postman  soon  sent  the  Post-Boy  to  oblivion, 
if,  indeed,  the  latter  liad  not  gone  there 
before  the  stronger  paper's  advent.

passed   into    his    hands,    had   it   bound    in 
morocco   by    Kiviere.     At   lleber's   sale   it 
was  boujilit  by  John   Payne  Collier,    who 
parted  with  it  to  Mr.  Ouvry,  at  whose  sale 
it  came  into  my  possefision.     Owing  to  the 
volume  having  been  Collier's  property,  some 
doubt  has  been  thrown  upon  the  authenticity 
of  the  manuscript  notes  in  the  book,  and  some 
correspondence  took  place  in   *  N.  &  Q.*  on 
the  subject  (6  S.  xi.  305.  352  ;   xii.  15).     Mr. 
Arthur  BuUen,  who  printed  the  epitaph  in 
his   edition   of   Marlowe    (Introduction,   pp. 
xii.  xlii),  said  that  it  had  *'  every  appearance 
of  being  genuine"  ;   and   a   few   years   ago, 
when  lie  contemplated  bringing  out  a  new 
edition  of  the  dramatist,  he  borrowed  the 
book  from  me,  and    had    tlie  page  bearing 
the   inscription  photographed.     The  result 
of  his  examination  was,  I  Deheve,  to  confirm 
hira  in  his  previous  view,  though  it  cannot, 
of  course,  bo  stated  with  absolute  certainty 
that  the  epitaph  was  written  by  Marlowe.

Stb  Matthew  Philip,  Mayor  of  London. 
— In  Metcalfe's  '  Book  of  Knights  *  Sir  M. 
Philip  is  said  (on  the  authority  of  Sir  X.  H. 
Nicoias^a  *  Orders  of  Knighthood ')  to  have 


been  made  a  Knight  of  the  Bath  in  1464 
{sic)  at  the  coronation  of  KHzabeth.  queen  of 
Edward  IV.,  20  May  [sic), 

BIy  friend  Dr.  W.  A.  Shaw  in  hia  *  Knights 
of  England,'  i.  134-5,  gives  the  same  list  as 
that  which  Metcalfe  copies  from  Nicolas,  but 
with  the  correct  date  of  the  coronation,  viz., 
26  Ma^,  1465.  and  describing  Philip  aa 
a  **  citizen  of  London.*' 

Unless  there  were  two  contemporary 
London  civic  knights  of  this  name,  of  which 
there  is  absolutely  no  evidence,  I  am  confi- 
dent that  the  list  of  Kniglits  of  the  Bath 
from  which  Nicolas  and  I>r.  Shaw  copied  is 
wrong  in  including  Philip  amongst  them. 

Phlli]),  the  alderman  who  was  Mayor 
1463-4,  was  not  knighted  till  May,  1471, 
when  ho  wa3  one  of  twelve  aldermen  wlio 
received  ordinaiy  knighthood,  not  that 
of  the  Bath.  This  list,  with  PliiUp's  name- 
included,  is  given  by  Dr.  Shaw  in  his  second 
volume  (p.  18). 

Tliero  is  both  positive  and  negative 
evidence  that  Philip  was  not  knighted 
before  1471,  and  that  ho  was  not  one  of  the 
batch  of  iCnights  of  the  Bath  made  in  1466. 

1.  His  name,  with  that  of  the  other  eleven 
aldermen  included  with  him  in  the  knighting 
of  1471,  receives  the  prefix  "  Sir  "  in  the 
City  records  after  that  date,  and  never 
before  it. 

2.  Gregory's  'Chronicle  *— the  work  of 
one  who  had  himself  been  Mayor  and 
alderman — records  the  coronation  of  Eliza- 
beth, and  saya :  **  TJiese  v  aldjTuien  were 
made  knyghtys  of  the  Batlw  "  ;  and  after 
recording  their  names — which,  di\*eated  of 
orthographic  variants,  are  those  generally 
known  as  Wyclie,  Cooke,  Josselyn,  Plomer, 
and  Waver — he  adds  :  *'  And  no  moo  of  the 
cytte  but  thee  v,  and  hyt  vs  a  grete 
worschyppe  unto  alle  the  cytte ''  (p.  228). 

It  is  clear  from  this  that  Philip,  who  was 
then  alderman  and  ex-Mayor,  was  not  in- 
cluded in  the  list  of  the  Knights  of  the  Bath 
made  at  Elizabeth's  coronation,  nor  is  it 
probable  tliat  any  other  "  citizen  of  London  *' 
of  the  same  name  was  then  a  recipient  of  the 
honour.  Alfred  B.  Beavbn.

The  Diphthong  *'  ou," — I  have  nowhere 
seen  it  definitely  stated  that  the  diphthong 
OM,  as  employed  in  modern  English,  ahnost 
invariably  indicates  a  French  spelling. 
This  is  a  very  useful  fact. 

Of  course,  it  constantly  occurs  in  native 
English  words,  such  as  out.  But  this  is  only 
because  the  Normans,  who  obligingly  re- 
spelt  our  language  for  ub,  used  the  symbol

*  AiUMXi  Ca>'tabbioienses  ' :  '  Alumni 
Oxos-CENSES.' — May  one  suggest  that  the 
editors  of  tJxe  Cftiobridge  work  would  do  ^rell 
to  avoid  such  conjectural  amendments  an 
mar  the  like  work  dealing  with  Oxford  men  ? 
Let  iDo  illustrate  the  matter  from  my  own 
case. 

I  was  bom  at  Irthlingborough  in  North- 
amptonshire.     It    is    not    to    my    present 

£urpo8e  that  the  birthplace  was  accidental, 
[y  grandfather  was  rector  of  a  neighbouring 
parish,  and  my  father,  a  barrister  Ii\'ing  in 
London,  rented  for  the  summer  a  house  in 
Irthlingborough.  The  ciprk  who  entered 
my  name  in  the  Oxford  Register,  mistaking 
the  registrar's  flourished  I  fur  an  O,  wrote  the 
tillage  name  as  OrthUngborough.  The 
editor  of  'Alumni  Oxonienses,*  finding  no 
village  of  that  name,  printed  the  village 
name  as  Orlingbury,  the  name  of  a  parish 
in  the  same  county. 

I  could  show  that  this  form  of  error  is 
common  in  the  work,  and  I  should  like  to 
suggest  that  such  conjectural  amendments, 
almoflt  sure  to  be  wrong,  shoutd  find  no 
placo  in  the   forthcoming  Cambridge  list.

$OU£BSCT       Hot;SE  ;        ROBINSON'S       ANI> 

CKA>iBifiis'8  Designs. — Josephi  Baretti's 
'  Guide  through  the  Royal  Academy,*  pub- 
lished in  1780,  is.  I  believe,  the  first  work  or 
pamphlet  describing  Somerset  House,  or 
what  waa  completed  of  it  at  that  date. 
It  contains  a  great  deal  of  detail  to  which 
neither  Mr.  F.  A.  Eaton  in  '  Tlie  Royal 
Aoftffemy  and  its  Members  *  nor  Messrs. 
Keedhiam  and  Webster  in  '  Somerset  House 


Past  and  Present  *  have  given  sufficient 
attontion.  In  dealing  with  the  first  plan, 
for  the  building  the  latter  work  says  tliat» 
*'  a  Mr.  Robinson,"  Secretary  to  the  Board 
of  Works,  had  prepared  designs  for  a  uevr 
building  : — 

"  These  designs,  as  might  be  expectcdi  werc 
little  hetter  IUaq  builders    drawings  for  a  plain 

suliHtantinl    structure witliout    preteniion    to 

the  first  propurtluu  and  dlspoeitiQU  of  parts  which, 
diatlnffttlsh  trae  architecture." 

Did  the  writers  of  that  remark  see  theso- 
plans,  or  is  their  opinion  based  upon  the  fact 
tJiat  they  were  only  designed  by  a  Secretary 
to  the  Board  of  Works  ?  They  add,  *'  Mr. 
Robinson's  designs  were  laid  aside,"  but 
qualify  this  by  a  foot-note  : — 

"  Acttially  they  were  handed  to  Sir  WUliom 
Chambers,  but  were  found  to  be  of  no  lervice, 
and  wen?  not  in  any  way  embodied  in  the  new 
scheme," 

Baretti's  rendering  of  this  incident  gives  a 
different  succession  of  ©vents  : — 

"  The  late  Mr.  Robinson . . .  .was  the  person  fint 
appointed  to  conduct  this  great  edifice  ;  and  the 
buildings  vrorc  to  be  erected  in  a  plain  maaner, 
rather  with  a  view  to  convenience  thou  ornament," 

Then  it  was  decided  to  make  it 
**  a  monument  of  the  taat«  and  elegance  of  his 
Maji»ty'a  Reig^.  Mr.  Robinson  mode  some 
attempts  upon  this  double  idea  ;  but  he  dying 
before  an^'tnlDg  waa  begun,  or  any  of  the  Designs 
r«>mplcati.'d.  Sir  WilliBm  Cliambcrs  was,  at  the 
King'n  requent,  appointed  to  succeed  him  in 
October.  1775,  and  all  Mr.  Bobinson'a  Designs 
were  delivered  to  him  ;  of  which,  however,  he 
made  no  use,  as  he  thought  of  a  quite  different 
dittposition  ;  nor  is  there  the  least  resemblance 
between  his  Designs  and  those  of  Mr.  Robin5<jO,. 
all  of  which  1  have  mure  than  once  »een  and  con- 
sidered with  flufllcieut  leisure  and  attention." 

Clearly  tJiis  indicates  that  the  simplicity  of 
tJie  first  plans  was  not  a  matter  of  choice, 
and  the  more  decorative,  but  unfinished 
designs  prepared  by  Robinson  were  dia* 
regarded,  not  because  ""  they  were  found  to 
be  of  no  service,'*  but  for  the  lietter  reason 
that  Chambers  planned  a  di£fercnt  disposi- 
tion of  the  buildings.

The  Hatless  Cbaze. — When  did  English 
people  begin  to  find  out  that  all  civilized 
nations  until  the  last  few  years  had  been 
entirely  wrong  in  wearing  caps  or  bats  out  of 
doors  ?  These  useful  articles  now  appear 
likely  soon  to  become  obsolete,  ana  it  may 
be  well  to  put  on  record  some  dates  connected 
with  their  disuse. 

Here  in  Durham  it  began  with  a  few  of  the

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.       (u  s.  tt  jult  9,  wio. 


groatly  in  November,  1906  ;  in  Jime»  1908,  it 
was  on  the  increase  ;  and  now.  in  June, 
1910,  caps  are  Ijecoming  quit©  exceptional 
among  underp^nate  men.  and  seem  likely 
toon  to  be  confined  to  Dons  and  women 
studenta.  The  cap  no  less  than  tlie  gown  is  a 
part  of  the  proper  academical  costume,  and  a 
aliilling  fine  at  the  first  would  have  stopped 
the  irregularity  in  a  week.  One  result  is  tnat 
the  old  interchanffe  of  courtesy  between 
undorgraduatoB  and  Dons  by  mutual  **  CAp- 
ping  "  is  becoming  impossiblo.  The  disuse 
of  the  cap  is  just  a  fashion  of  the  day.  based 
partly  on  convenience,  and  partly  on  that 
dislike  to  uniform  which  we  now  see  in  the 
Army  and  Navy,  and  among  servants.  We 
,have  a  Territorial  corps  liere,  but  none  of 
ita  members  would  ever  think  of  going  about 
without  their  caps  when  on  duty,  because 
discipline  is  better  maintained  by  their 
officers  than  by  those  of  the  University, 
and  the  men  themselves  seem  to  think  more 
of  their  corps  than  of  their  Alma  Mater. 
But  it  is  not  only  while  on  duty  that  caps 
are  dispensed  with.  One  day  I  met  a  young 
friend  retiuming  from  an  afternoon  walk 
gracefully  handling  a  walking  eane»  but 
with  nothing  on  his  head  except  that 
covering  which  nature  had  so  bountifully 
provided. 

The  craze  is  extending  into  clerical  life- 
I  have  just  heard  of  a  curate  who  goes  about 
in  greatcoat  and  gloves,  but  without  a  hat. 
It  has  also  invaded  the  nursery.  I  now  see 
dear  little  boys,  breeched  for  the  first  time. 
Land  the  pride  of  their  parents,  going  out 
liatleea  with  their  nursemaids,  and  thus 
doubly  asserting  their  early  manhood.

VnioiL,  'Georo.'  rv.  122:  "Narcissi 
lacrvmam." — What  did  Virgil  moon  b^ 
this  *'  tear  of  Narcissus,"  employed  by  his 
bees  in  building  up  their  combs  ?  Was  he 
thinking  uf  their  nectaries,  or  of  thoir  pollen, 
or  of  den  and  rain  clinging  to  the  petals  ? 
Milton  annexes  the  phrase,  bidding  daffa- 
dillies  fill  their  cups  with  tears  to  boclew  tho 
hearse  of  Lycidas ;  but  Milton  who  saw 
plants  not  in  nature,  but  in  books,  and  never 
worried  himself  about  floral  consistency,  was 
merely  imitating  Virtiil* 

Wlxat,  again,  was  Virgil's  narcissus  T  Tl»e 
comnaentators  make  it  a  daffodil.  Narcissus 
poeticwt,  or  A',  tterotinua  of  our  flora.  Linnseua 
too  assumed  it  to  be  a  daffodil,  having  In 
mind  tho  legend  of  the  lovesick  youth 
concerning  whom  Ovid  sang  and  Bacon 
moralized.  But  Proserpine  was  gathering 
narcissi  in  Sicilian  fields  centuries  before 
Narcissus  nos  born,  and  .she  wore  them  as  an 
appropriate  crown  in  hell.  In  the  Athena 
chorus  the  flower  is  called  by  Sophocles 
$caWif3oTpo^,  an  epithet  which  fails  to 
suit  tho  daffodil  ;  and  its  derivation*  tlie 
Sanskrit  iMirJk  =  hell,  points  to  a  narcotic 
effect  of  tlie  scent  which  the  dafiodil  does

TURKEY  CAPTIVES:    BRIEF    AT 
WINCANTON. 

(II  S.  i.  488.) 

TbH  story  of  this  unusual  circumfltance  is 
given  fully  in  a  rare  fiinglo  sheet  dated 
iO  August.  1670.  and  issued  in  the  form  of 
letters  patent  by  Charles  II.  The  sheet 
ia  entitled  "  Letters  patent  for  oollectiona 
towards  the  redemption  of  English  captives 
taken  by  the  Turks.  London  [Thomas 
Jlilboum  dwelling  in  Jewen  Street]  1670." 
This  opon  letter  was  addressed  by  Chnrlos  IT. 
to  the  clergy  of  all  degrees  and  denomina- 
tions, as  well  as  to  all  Justices.  Mayors, 
Bailiffs.  Constables.  Churchwardens,  Chapol- 
wardens,  Headboroughs,  CoUeotora  for  the 
Poor,  Ac.     It  proceeds : — 

"  Whereas  &  great  aamber  of  our  (food  «uhjeot«, 
ijeaceably  following  their  omplovmont*  at  Sea,  have 
been  lately  taken  by  the  Turkish  Pyrates.  under 
whom  they  now  remain  in  most  cruel  and  inhumane 
bondage,  who  by  their  friende  and  relatione  have 
humbry  beMOxht  us  to  take  thoir  miserable  and 
deplomble  estates  into  our  princely  considera- 
tion," Jco. 

On  27  July,  1670.  a  Committee  of  the 
Privy  Council  was  held.  Charles  himself  being 
present,  when  it  was  reported  that 

"  by  oertificatea  of  nereral  ships  taken,  as  by  several 
letUn  from  the  respeotive  masters,  offioera  and 
Keamen  now  in  slavery ;  to  thoir  friends  and  rela- 
tious  here  in  England,  it  doth  evid&ntly  appear  that 
the  said  poor  aUvos,  assaulted  by  t hose  inhumane 
Thieves  and  Pyrates,  did  in  their  aovoral  fights 
behave  themselves  with    remarkable    valour   and 

c<>^"*Kf uot  yielding  to  the  enemy  till  they  had 

been  often  boarded  and  the  enemies  slain  ui>on  their 
decks,  and  till  their  own  ships  were  fired  about 
them  J  when  bcinK  forced  t*j  oaet  themselves  into 
the  sea  to  avoid  the  duvourinz  flames  were  seised 
on  by  these  barbarous  enemies,  with  whom  they 
'*°7  '•??  ,ft  ""  '^^^^  *'°"«  f  1»*°  tleftth  ;  bought 
and  sold  like  beasts  in  the  market,  held  to  most 
insupportable  service,  and  fed  only  with  a  slender 
allowance  of  bread  and  water ;  many  of  them 
chained  to  their  work»  and  beaten  daily  with  a  cer- 
tain number  of  stripes Tliat  the  number  of  these 

poor  slaves  la  so  great,  and  the  demands  of  their 

JaakmAsten  la  so  high  that  the  money  needful  for 

'^^'ccojap/islitag  their  redemption  ia  represented 


bv  the  Committee  to  amount  to  the  sum  of  Thirty 
Tjionsand  pounds ;  which  sum  our  said  distressed 
Rubjeots  are  utterly  unable  to  procure  of  them- 
selves,** &c. 

Charles  therefore  says  he  appoint*  "  Extra- 
ordinary VVayes  and  rules  for  Collection  of 
the  same  [sum]  upon  such  an  extraordinary 
occasion  " : — 

"We do  give  and  grant  unto  the  said  poor 

distressed  subjeots,  the  captives  aforesaid,  or  to 
their  af^cnts.  or  other  persona,  who  shall  bo  lawfully 

authorized full  power to  take  the  almoa  and 

oharitAble  benevoleooe  of  all  our  loving  aubjeota

whatsoever    in    £ngland for   and    towards  the 

redemption  and  relief  of  the  said  XKX>r  captives." 

The  King  desires 
"especially  to  stir  up  the  inferiour  clergy  to  give 
effectual  arguments  to  their  flookfl,  both  byexhorta* 
tion  and  example,  for  »  Liberal  ountribution

nature Witness  Our  Self  at  Westminster,  the

of  our  Reign-" 

The  evidence  for  the  sad  state  of  affairs 
in  the  Mediterranean  in  the  soventoenth 
century  ib  scattered  but  ample.  There  is  a 
letter  dated  1617  in  the  Buccleuch  MS. 
(Hist.  MSS.  Comm.,  vol,  i.  p.  197)  in  which 
reference  is  made  to  the  pirates  then  inter- 
fering with  the  Levant  trade.  Tliese  Bar- 
bory  Turks  and  the  condition  of  Tangier  at 
the  end  of  tlie  seventeenth  century  are  also 
dealt  with  in  the  Dartmouth  MSS.  (Hist. 
MSS.  Coram.,  Eleventh  Report,  App.  V, 
p.  18).  The  first  Lord  Dartmouth  was  sent 
to  effect  the  destruction  of  Tangier. 

The  actual  circumstances  which  brought 
matters  to  a  crisiH  and  forced  Clmrles  II.  to 
take  the  st-eps  he  did  to  relieve  these  sufferers 
are  found  (printed)  in  Domestic  State  Papers, 
24  June.  1670— S.  P.  Dom.  Car.  IL  276 
(186).  Here  are  given  letters  addressed  to 
Williamson  (secretary  to  Lord  Arlington), 
in  one  of  which,  dated  14  April,  1670, 
Samuel  Daukes,  uged  20,  a  captive  at 
Algiers,  says  that  he  and  hia  fellows  were 
token  near  Sardinia, 

**  sold  like  horses,  and  mode  to  lie  down  on  oar

have  recei\'ed  at  least  200  blows  for  iU" 

Then  follows  a  series  of  petitions  upon  the 
same  subject,  including  one  from  the  rela- 
tives of  "  1 40  men  of  Stepney  "  xn  the  hands 
of  the  Turks.

The  Edwakdb.  Kings  of  Enolakd  (US. 
i.  501). — In  his  interesting  not^ts  at  the  above 
reference  Mb.  A.  S.  Ellis  employs  a  term 
wJiich.  as  a  Scot.  I  cannot  allow  to  pass  un- 
challenged. **  Edward  the  Elder."  says 
Mb.  Ellib,  "  was  Iximself  the  first  who 
extended  his  authority  over  the  whole  of 
Great  Britain." 

Non  inultus  premor  /  Hero  we  have 
reasserted  the  claim  in  successfully  resisting 
which  my  countrymen  waged  almost  inces- 
sant war  for  throe  hundred  years.  The  sole 
bfibsia  for  that  claim  is  the  well-known  passage 
in  the  *  Anglo-Saxon  Ctironicle  *  ad  ann. 
024.  Be  it  far  from  me  to  join  issue  in  a 
matter  whereon  so  much  blood  and  ink  has 
been  shed  in  the  past ;  but  1  venture 
respectfully  to  ask  how  Mr.  Ellib  can 
justify  the  use  of  the  term  **  Great  Britain  " 
as  appUed  to  any  dominion  in  the  tenth 
century. 

If  he  means  to  imply  the  territory  now 
known  by  that  name.  I  would  remind  Ixim 
that  tho  designation  was  used  for  the  first 
timo  officially  by  James  VI.  and  I.,  who, 
greatly  to  the  displeasure  of  liis  English 
subjects  and  in  the  very  teeth  of  the  liigheat 
legal  opinion,  instituted  the  new  title  by 
royal  warrant  in  1604,  although  the  judges 
declarod  that  all  legal  proceasee  would 
thereby  be  invalidat«*d. 

That,  however,  cannot  bo  Mb.  Ellis's 
meaning  in  the  pliraee  '*  the  whole  of  Great 
Britain,"  for  the  Western  Isles  were  not 
ceded  by  the  King  of  Norway  till  1266,  and 
Orkney  and  Shetland  were  not  incorporated 
in  the  Scottish  realm  till  1471.  If  we  assume 
(for  argument's  sake,  but  without  prejudice) 
that  tne  statement  in  the  *  Anglo-Saxon 
Chronicle '  is  correct  in  the  main  (though  it 
varies  in  detail  in  the  seven  extant  copies), 
and  that  Edward  the  Elder  did  acquire  tlie 
suzerainty  of  tho  Kingdom  of  Alba  (the  title 
Scotia  or  Scotland  was  not  in  use  until  the 
following  century),  the  utmost  that  can  be 
claimed  is  that  his  authority  was  contermin- 
ous with  the  realm  of  Constantin  U.,  which 
only  comprised  the  district  between  Forth 
and  Clyde  on  the  south  and  the  Helmsdale 
and  Inver  rivers  on  the  north,  from  sea  to 
sea,  but  without  the  adjacent  islands.  And 
although  the  *  Anglo-Saxon  Clironicle "  (the 
sole  authority)  asserts  that  Regnwald  of 
Northumbrju  and  the  King  of  the  Strathclyde 
Welsh  also  submitted,  it  is  certain  that  King 
Edward's  writs  would  not  have  run  in 
Caithness,  Moray.  Koss.  and  Galloway. 

Wliat  we  reckon  to  bo  the  true  nativity 
of  the  Kingdom  of  Scotland  is  16  August.

Toasts  asd  Sentiaients  (11  S.  i.  406). — 
tToUeotions  of  toasts  and  sentiments,  even  in 
English,  are  not  very  common.  I  have 
noted  only  one  sucli  collection  in  1789, 
'The  Toast-Master :  being  a  Genteel  Col- 
lection of  Sentiments  ana  "Sasts,'  a  sixpenny 
pamplilot,  published  in  London,  which 
subaeauently  did  duty,  under  a  slightly 
altered  title,  as  a  Scottush  chapbook.

publications  prevents  me  from  saying  defi-

<11  S.  i.  387,  490).  — Mb.  Mai-hrw's  partial 
solution  of  the  lorwerth-Edward  problem 
is  very  welcome.  There  is  no  phonetic 
reason  why  medifeval  Welshmen  should  not 
have  said  Edward,  EdwaH  would  perhaps 
have  been  slightly  easier  for  them,  and  that 
form  does  appear  in  1666,  in  the  dedication  of 
a  Radnorshire  parish  church,  *' yn  Ref  y

placement of  d  by  r.  Now 
''«  before  a  vowel  at  the  beeinning  of  words,  as 
JMdicfartLEQ/oneic,  was  clearly  sounded  like  v,  or

redirorrf  is  found  in  Shakeapeore,  and  Harl  in  in 
apotlaml  sounded  Yerl,  like  the  Danish  Jari."— 
E-  A.  Fre^mau,  'Old  Enghsh  History  forChildreu." 
1869.  p.  XVI. 

If  Mr.  Mayhew  could  show  that  the  tlieme 
^ad-  was  sounded  anywhere  in  the  Wolsh 
Marohoa  as  a  rising  diphthong  [edd]  hke 
y9r-  or  yar-,  Welshmen  would  1^  acquitted 
thereby  of  the  charge  of  haphazard  substitu- 


tion. Since  reading  Mb.  Mavhew's  reply 
I  liave  not  the  least  doubt  that  Welshmen 
firat  heard  Yaro-werd,  or  sometliing  very 
like  that,  and  that  they  naturally  equated 
that  word  with  the  nearest  name  to  it  in 
sound  that  they  knew.  That  name  hap- 
pened to  be  Oere-wertK  ^ler^werth^  lof" 
wcrih^  lor-woerth^  and  Jor-werth  again,  in 
diflcront  periods  of  Welsh  literature  since 
the  fourth  century.  The  first  audition  by 
tlie  Welsh  of  ^Karo-ioerd  must  have  takan 
place  a  very  lon^  time  a^o.  and  I  hope  that 
Mr.  Mayhew  will  exanune  the  clironology 
of  the  phonetic  changes  involved,  and  that 
he  will  give  us  the  benefit  of  his  erudition. 

He  is,  however,  mistaken  in  supposing 
that  Iorwerth  could  be  a  Welsh  mode  ot 
representing  a  dialect  form  of  the  0.£, 
roval  name  Eadwtard.  As  M.  Gaidoz 
said  in  his  query,  this  Welsh  name  is  a  very 
old  one.  It  appears  in  Welsh  history  as 
early  as  the  second  quarter  of  the  fifth 
century ;  whereas  no  early  instance  of 
Eadweard  has  come  to  light. 

The  earliest  appearance  of  any  form  of 
Iorwerth  occurs  in  a  thirteenth -century  tract 
of  three  pages  in  the  Cotton  codex  Veepasian 
A.  XIV.  (3).  which  is  entitled  '  £>e  Situ 
Brochoniauc* 


( 


**Tho  Welsh  forms  and  gloesei  in  it  show  it  to 
have  been  copied  by  some  one  who  did  not  mider- 
stand  Welsh  from  an  earlier  MS.  at  least  as  old  ai 
the  eleventh  oeutury." — Sec  Mr.  E^serton  PhiUi- 
more'a  article  in  the  Cymmroflor,  1886,  viL  105^ 

The  tract  contains  the  oldest  account 
we  have  of  tlie  Welsh  prince  Br&chftn  of 
Brecheiniauc  (c.  390-460).  and  it  gives  the 
names  of  Brachan's  sons,  daughters,  sons-in- 
law,  and,  in  several  cases,  grandchildren. 
The  tenth  daughter  is  thus  described : 
"  Aranwen  uxor  Gereiierth  regis  de  Powis  "  ; 
and  those  words  are  glossed  "  inde  dioitur 
loruerthiaun."  In  the  '  Cognacio  Brychain,' 
a  8e\'en teen th -century  copy  in  the  Cotloa 
MS.  Domitiau  1.  (13)  of  a  thirteenth -oeutury 
MS.  (cf.  Phillimore.  u.a.,  p.  106).  we  get 
*'  (10)  Arganwen  apud  Powys."  The  '  Cog- 
nacio Brychani  *  agrees  in  many  things  with 
the  *  De  Situ  Brecheniauc/  but  unfortunately 
it  does  not  yield  the  name  of  Arganwen's 
husband.  The  form  "  GfT€w6rth  "  may  be 
rcliod  on,  however.  I  read  the  manuscript

'Jonathan  Shakp'  (11  S.  i.  466). — As 
far  as  I  am  aware,  the  identity  of  the  author 
has  never  been  disclosed.  The  title-page 
reads  **  Jonathan  Sharp  ;  or.  The  Adventures 
of  »  Kentuckian.  Written  by  himself.'* 
Allibono  accepts  this  indication  of  author- 
ship, and  enters  the  book  as  the  production 
of  "Sharp,  Jonathan."  Tlie  evidence  in 
favour  of  Sharp  being  the  author  is  ex* 
tremely  slight.  Tlie  book  is  classed  among 
novels  in  the  '  Index  to  the  London  Cata- 
lugue  of  Books.'  The  New  Monthly  Ma^axine^ 
quoted  by  Allibone,  says  of  it :  ''His 
[Sliarp's]  narrative  is  worthy  of  Defoe." 
It  is  not  mentioned  in  Halkett  and  Laing^a 
*  Dictiomwry.'  As  a  copy  of  the  work  is 
contained  in  the  Edinburgh  Advocates' 
Library,  and  must  have  been  known  to 
the  compilers  of  the  *  Dictionary.*  their 
omission  to  enter  it  as  anonymous  or

The  Wok  Waters  or  Langton  (11  S.  i,

river  which  flowed  (in  1822)  past  the  few 
liousea  constituting  the  pariah  of  Langton- 
upon*Swale  was  so  called  bocau.se  they  were 
sitoated  bo  near  the  brink  of  the  river  that 
they  were  frequently  in  danger  of  beinc;

Nelson's  Bibthplace  (11  S.  i.  483).— 
Some  years  since  I  was  told,  on  what  seemed 
respeotable  authority,  but  which  I  ha\e 
no  permission  to  name,  that  the  traditional 
Btory  in  the  parish  of  Bumham  Thorpe  was 
that  on  Michaelmas  Bay,  1758,  the  rector's 
wife  was  visiting  her  poor,  when  she  was  un- 
expectedly taken  with  the  labour  pains,  and 
that  the  child  was  actually  bom  in  a  very 
Auiublo  cott^e  at  some  d'mtaace  from  the 


Rectory.  There  is  nothing  impossible  or 
iuipro  bable  in  the  story,  which  may  be 
true  ;  but,  on  the  otlier  hand»  there  is  no 
evidence  that  it  is  true,  and  I,  for  one,  should 
be  very  sorry,  on  the  strength  of  it,  to  contra- 
dict the  received  story  that  Horatio  Kelson 
was,  in  regular  course,  bom  in  his  mother's 
home. 

Y.  T.'s  story  Beoras  very  much  of  the  same 
kind,  except  that  it  profp»ses  to  be  drawn, 
in  a  succession  of  hearsayb  after  long  inter- 
vals, from  people  who  could  not  possibly 
know  anj*thmg  about  it.  The  story  maj*  be 
true  ;  I  do  not  say  it  is  not  ;  but  I  do 
refuse  to  receive  it  without  satisfactory 
evidence.  This,  at  preBent,  stands  thus  i 
Y.  T.  heard  it  from  Mrs.  Girdlestone*  who 
heard  it  f'om  her  sister,  who  heard  it  frc<m 
Aunt  Susie,  who  eeenis,  as  far  as  Y.  T.'a 
story  allows  of  identiticationt  to  have  been 
either  Aunt  Ann  (Bolton),  bom  in  1781,  or — 
and  perhaps  more  probably — Grandn^Bmrna 
(Susonneh)  Bolton,  bom  in  1765.  and  there- 
fore three  years  old  at  the  time.  Tlie  story 
is  interesting,  but  it  rests  on  no  satisfactory 
evidence.  J.  K.  Lauuhton. 


SEVENTEENTH-CBKTUBy  BlOOBAPHY  (11  8*

sinaU  liistory  of  English  literature,  dealing 
with  such  minor  WTiters  as  those  named  in

means  of  obtaining  information  about  them 
will  probably  be  to  consult  some  old  bio- 
graphical dictionarj^  of  convenient  size, 
Such  a  work  is  Dr.  John  Watkins's  '  Uni-

1800.  In  the  third  edition  of  1807  sketches 
of  all  the  persons  named  in  the  query

(1719-1807),  father  of  Thomas  aforesaid, 
was  the  man  (*'  privat<^  soldier '' )  who 
caught  Wolfe  as  ho  fell.  The  Rev.  T. 
C^impbell  was  bom  in  county  Down,  Ireland, 
1  February,  1763,  and  died  in  Bethany, 
West  Virginia,  4  January,  1854.  The  Rev. 
Alexander  Campbell  was  born  in  Ballymena, 
county  Antrim,  12  September,  1788,  and  died 
at  Bethany  aforesaid  4  March,  1860,  being 
founder  of  the  college  there.  The  Camp- 
bells, father  and  son,  were  men  of  the 
highest  standing  in  America  in  their  day, 
the  son  in  particular  being  a  great  leader  in 
the  religious  movement  known  as  Disciples 
of  Christ,  beginning  in  1809,  and  now 
numbering  far  more  than  one  million  com- 
municants. Alexander  Caniipbell  was  on 
one  occasion  asked  to  address  the  U.S. 
House  of  Representatives,  and  did  so  in 
the  old  House.

married  in  1 828  Isabella  Anne,  eldest

election  was  petitioned  against  on  the 
ground  of  liis  being  on  alien,  but  tlie  petition 
does  not  appear  to  have  been  proceeded 
with.  The  following  year  he  was  made 
chairman  of  the  bench  of  Middlesex  magis- 
trates. He  did  not  contest  Knaresborough 
in  1835.  A  magistrate  and  deputy-lieu-

quoted  by  Mr.  Robbins.  Sir  Grey  Cooper 
was  mistaken  in  saying  that  the  above 
words  ended  a  Maesoohusotts  "proclama- 
tion for  a  fabt,"  as  the  uroclaination  in 
question  w&8  not  fur  a  fast,  out  fur  a  thanks- 
giving. It  was  issued  4  Noveinlx»r.  1775, 
and  *  A  Proclamation  for  a  Public  Thanks- 
giving '  was  printed  in  The  Boston  Gazelle 
of  13  November.  On  12  June.  1775,  the 
Continental  Congress  issued  a  proclamation 
for  a  fast  day  on  20  July.  This  was  signed 
"  By  order  of  Congress,  John  Hancock, 
President."  In  his  *  Fast  and  Tlianks* 
giving  Days  of  New  England,*  1895,  Dr. 
\V.  De  L.  Love  says  : —

some  d»y  the  !to«A  bp  meditates  on  the  subject. 
Meanwhile  his  stories  of  Oriental  artiata  of  old  days 
are  fascinating.  In  *  Tho  Wits '  Mr.  Normaa 
Pearson  has  a  good  subject.  Dealing  with  the 
•*  illumlnati,**  at  once  fasliionable  and  literary,  of 
the  latter  part  of  tho  eighteenth  century,  he  takes 
some  celebrated  examples,  such  as  Selwyn. 
Dodlngton,  and  Horace  Walpole.  Wa  do  not 
think  Selwyn  is  so  poor  a  jester  as  be  makes  oat.. 
and  remark  that  a  student  of  tho  period  wUl  And 
many  of  the  jests  quoted  stale.  The  Latin  qoip  by 
Burke  has  been  familiar  for  many  years  in  Bos- 
well's  •  Johnson.*  Mr.  Pearson's  diet*  do  not 
exactly  impress  us  as  those  of  a  real  master  of  the 
period.  Mn.  Shorter  has  an  agreeable  little  poem 
'  In  tbe  Carlyle  Houae.  Cheli^a.*  Of  the  other 
articles  the  pleasantest  is  entitled  *  Paris :  King 
Edward  VII.  and  Henri  Quatre.*  by  Mr.  John  P. 
Macdonnld,  who  shows  clearly  tlici  affertionate  way 
in  which  the  late  King  was  regarded  in  that  city. 
To  the  people  of  Paris  he  wa-s  worthy  to  bo  com- 
pared with  that  fftvat  dgure  of  tmdition  who 
was  Queen  Elixaocth'a  contemporary  on  the 
French  throne. 

Ix  Th4i  yinfiteenih  Century  the  editor's  name 
now  appears  as  W.  Wray  3kill>eck.  Moaslgnor 
Moyes  opens  with  an  article  on  *  Tho  Royal 
Declaration  '  in  whirh  he  explains  the  position  nf 
the  It'iman  (Catholics.  Then*  are  two  or  three 
political  articles,  but  the  number,  as  a  whole, 
takes  a  wid»^r  range  of  subject  ttian  some  of  its 
predecessors.  wUion  we  regard  as  an  improvement. 
Prince  Eropotkin  has  an  impfirtant  article  nn 
•  The  Direct  Action  of  Envimnment  on  Plants,'  in 
which,  fortifliil  by  tlie  reci-nt  experiiuent«  of 
botanists,  he  is  inclined  to  believe.  Some  of  thcso 
experiments  are  very  striking  in  their  ri^sulta.  and 
should  go  some  way  to  eatahlish  a  tendency  which 
ha«  br*Hn  Irirgely  denied  on  thn  ground  nf  preoon- 
ci'ivod  th*i)r>'.  Sucli,  atlcjiat,  is  the  prL-st'nt  writer's 
view.  Mr.  R.  B.  Townshend  deals  in  an  interest' 
Ing  way  with  '  Shooting  from  the  Saddle,'  in  the 
Boer  war  especially,  and  gives  some  reminiscences 
of  things  he  saw  done  in  his  earlier  days  of 
ranching.  'Towards  Edxicatlonal  Peace,  by 
Mr.  D.  C.  LathViury,  exhibits  the  well-known  pre- 
possesHlons  of  the  writer.  Mr.  Edward  McCurdy 
in  *  Leonardo  da  Vinci  and  the  Science  of  Flight  * 
shows  once  again  his  knowledge  of  all  that  con- 
cerns the  great  artist.  Two  articles  on  the 
registrattun  of  nurses  and  tht.*  Coluuial  supply  of 
them  follow.  Mr.  E.  D.  Itv-ndall  has  a  well- 
written  '  Plea  for  the  Intntduction  of  Music 
among  the  Upper  Claaaes.'  The  democracy  are 
better  served  in  thw  way,  he  points  out.  than 
schools  of  a  more  expensive  kind,  where  music  is 
an  oCF-eubject,  apt  to  give  way  to  other  studied  or 
games.  In  'QuareThinga*  Maude Godley supplies 
a  glimpse  of  Irish  Banshees  and  the  like.  The 
article  pleases  us,  but  is  too  short  to  be  satis- 
factory. Sir  W.  F.  Mi^viUe  has  gathered  much  of 
interest  in  hU  '  Side-iighta  on  Uie  Story  of  the 
Suet  Canal.'  the  success  of  which  was.  it  appears., 
pnimnte*!  by  two  or  three  odd  causes — one,  the 
ability  of  Lessepa  as  a  horseman  ;  another,  the 
early  help  he  gave  to  a  distant  cousin  who  rose 
to  be  the  Emprvsa  Eugenie.  The  circumstances 
of  the  sale  of  the  Khedive's  shares  to  this  country 
are  pretty  well  known,  hut  the  story  is  dramatic, 
and  distinctly  well  told  here.

H^  T}te  AthencEum  for  20  June.  1896,  the 
HEte  Col*  FrancU  Grant  described  a  Hinall 
dctavo  edition  of  troldflmith'a  *  Doaertod 
ViUtf^e,*  W.  Griffin,  1770,  which  had  recently 
bMQ.  t6\d  by  auction  in  London,  and  which 
hod  hitherto  escaped  the  notice  of  bibUo- 
^f^hers.  On  the  8th  of  Augiu^t  following 
The  At/tenoBum  published  another  letter 
which  drew  attention  to  a  copy  of  '  The 
DeBert«d  Village,'  8vo,  with  GrifiRn's  im- 
pKmt»  which  difTered  materially  from  that 
tteociibcrl  by  Col.  Grant.  A  third  variation 
«M  not  long  afterwards  discovered,  and  a 
moat  exhaustive  comparison  of  the  three 
octavoB  and  the  hix  quartos  of  1770  wa» 
nbnqueatly  made  by  Mr.  Luther  S.  Living- 
rtOQ.  who,  after  causing  a  tran^tcript  to  be 
niAcU  of  the  supposed  first  octavo,  had 
e«ch  ol  the  four  nundred  and  thirty-two 
lines  copied  on  neparate  sheets,  and  had 
written  in  below  every  variation  in  text,  spel- 
ling *nfl  punctuation  which  occurred  in  the 
nioB   editiona.     Such   a   conscientious   and 


painstaking  piece  of  work  ia  probably  un- 
paralleled in  the  annals  of  bibliography ; 
and  although  an  infinite  number  of  vana*. 
tions  in  spelling,  abbreviation,  and  punctua- 
tion were  discovered  in  the  different  editions, 
it  nevertheleas  proved  to  be  impossible  to 
roach  a  satisfactory  conclusion  with  regard 
to  the  actual  priority  of  the  octavos  relatively 
to  the  first  quarto. 

The  only  real  toxtual  variation  occurred  in 
1.  37,  which  in  the  supposed  lirst  octavo  reads 

Amidst  thy  bowers  the  t3Tant*B  head  is  seen. 
In  the  first    quarto  and  in  the  other   two 
octavos,  as  well  as  in  every  later  edition, 
the  line  reads 

Amidst  thy  bowers  the  tyrant's  hand  ia  seen. 

Mr.  Livingston's  results,  which  were  pub- 
lished in  the  New  York  Bookman  for  Feb- 
ruary, 1901,  under  the  title  of  '  A  Biblio- 
graphical  Puzzle,'  have  generally  been  con- 
sidered the  last  word  upon  the  subject,  and 
Mr.  Austin  Dobaon,  in  referring  to  them  in 
his  most  recent  edition  of  Goldfimith*8 
*  Poems  '  ("  World's  Classics  ''),  1907,  p.  172. 
note,  merely  mentions  the  existence  of  the 
octavos  with  the  remark  that  they  "  are 
certainly  not  in  the  form  in  which  the  poem 
was  tirst  advertised  and  received,  as  tliis  was 
a  quarto."  Another  sra-Ul  octavo  edition, 
has,  however,  recently  come  into  my  posses- 
sion, which  may  possibly  throw  some  light 
on  the  relative  positions  of  the  supposed 
first  octavo  and  the  first  quarto. 

This  is  a  small  octavo  pamphlet,  measur- 
ing 0^  in.  by  4^  in.,  and  is  in  its  original  con- 
dition, the  pages  being  still  untouched  by 
the  paper  Imife.  It  is  sewn  in  grey-green 
wrappers,  and  the  title-page  is  engraved, 
with  the  following  inscription:  "  The  | 
Deserted  Village,  |  A  |  Poem  [  By  !>.  Gold- 
smith. I  [Oval  vignette.]  London  ;  \  Printed 
for  J.  Barker,  Rtissell  Court,  |  Drury  Lane." 
There  is  no  date.  It  is  printed  on  one  large 
folio  sheet,  folded  into  quarter  sheets,  and 
each  signature  ([a],  b,  c,  and  D)  consists 
therefore  of  four  leaves.  The  collation  is : 
Half-title,  p.  [i],  verso  blank  ;  title,  p.  [iii] 
verso  blank  ;  Dedication,  p.  [v]-vii ;  adver- 
tisement, p.  [%iii] ;  text,  pp.  [fr-32].  The 
title  is  nut  separately  inserted,  but,  though 
engraved,  forms  port-  of  quarter-sheet  a. 

Tlie  peculiarity  of  tliis  edition  is  that  it 
contains  the  errors  of  the  supposed  first 
octavo,  including  the  "  tyrant  s  head  "  in 
I.  37,  with  two  exceptions.  In  the  supposed 
first  octavo  the  word  **  each  "  in  1.  8  is  mis- 
printed "  earch,"  and  in  I.  302  "  peasant  " 
IS  misprinted  *'  peasants."     In    the    Grant 


copy — the  only  one  of  the  supposed  first

edition  examined  by  Mr.  Li\uxgston — a  line 
in  old  ink  had  been  drawn  through  the 
"  r "  in  "  earch  '*  in  I.  8.  and  through  the 
"  s  "  in  "  poasante  "  in  I.  302.  It  is  curious 
that  in  the  Barker  copy  in  my  possesgion 
both  these  words  are  printed  correctly. 

Every  one  knows  the  oval  engraving  on  the 
title-page  of  the  first  quarto  of  ^  The  Deserted 
Village,  "  Isaac  Taylor  del.  d:  sculp.,"  which 
ropreeento  the  old  watercress  woman*  ''"  the 
sad  historian  of  the  pensive  plain,"  telling 
her  sorrowful  story  to  the  pilgrim  leaning  on 
his  staff.  In  the  Little  Barker  edition  a  copy 
of  this  engraving  appears  on  the  title-page, 
"Mutlow  &  Woodman,  sculps  "  ;  it  is  by  no 
meanB  badly  engraved,  but  the  fact  of  it 
being  reversed  shows  that  it  is  a  copy. 

Mr.  Livingston  observes  that  **  it  is 
generally  considered,  in  comparing  similar 
editions  of  any  book,  that  the  edition  with 
the  errors  cmtedatcs  the  corrected  edition." 
Barker's  edition  contains  the  errors  of  the 
supposed  ftrat  octavo,  but  the  presence  of  the 
copied  engraving  on  the  title-page  shows 
that  it  must  have  been  issued  later  than  the 
first  quarto.  It  seems  clear,  therefore,  that 
the  fact  of  the  supposed  first  octavo 
containing  these  erroru  does  not  conclumveLy 
establish  its  priority  over  the  first  quarto. 

All  these  octavos  may  have  been  pirated, 
though  as  GrifBn's  naine  appears  on  three  of 
them  it  must  have  called  for  some  audacity 
to  forge  tho  imprint  of  the  gonuLne  publisher 
upon  their  title-pages.  It  would  seem  more 
likely  that  cheap  rei>rints  of  popular  poems 
were  circulated  as  chapbooks  in  country 
towns  and  villages.  This  would  account 
for  the  extreme  rarity  of  these  little 
pamphlets,  and  perhaps  for  the  careless 
manner  in  which  the}-  were  printed.  The 
reading  of  these  poems  to  hia  rustic  audience 
was  perhaps  one  of  tlie  most  grateful  d  uties  of 
the  village  schoolmaster  in  the  long  evenings 
that  brought  the  peasant  **  sweet  oblivion  of 
his  daily  care."  W.  F.  Fkipeaux,

RovAL  Pebsokaoes  (confuiued), 
Belfast. — A  colossal  equetitrian  statue 
of  William  III.  surmounts  the  Orange 
Hall,  Clifton  Street.  It  was  erected  at  the 
cost  of  the  Orangemen  of  iTster  in  1889. 
It  is  tho  work  of  Mr.  Harry  Herns  of  Exeter, 
and  represents  William  mounted  on  his  cele- 
brated   white   charger^    wav'ing    his    sword 


aloft,  and  cheering  his  followers  to  the 
charge  as  at  the  battle  of  the  Boyne.  Mr. 
Hems  kindly  informs  me  : — 

"  (.treat  paini)  were  taken  to  have  the  nppArcl 
worn  by  the  rider  hiattirically  corpoot.  To 
attain  this  end  the  more  aucccsafully.  tho  actual 
equipment  in  which  U'UIiam  was  dreased  {now 
in  the  ptMSefision  of  the  Baroness  von  Staiglitz) 
was  luaued  to  me  fur  that  purpose." 

It  was  unveiled  by  Col.  Sanderson,  M.P.,  on 
18  Xo\ember,  1889,  in  the  presence  of  a  con- 
course of  more  than  20,000  i)eople. 

Bristol. — In  tho  centre  of  Queen  Square 
is  an  oqueatrian  statue  of  William  III.  It 
is  generally  stated  to  be  constructed  of 
copper,  but  I  am  informed  that  it  is  mor© 
probably  composed  of  lead.  The  sculptor 
was  Itysbrack.  who  received  1,800/.  for  tlie 
work.  In  1833  a  writer  stated  tliat  "' per- 
happ  as  a  work  of  art  [it]  in  not  aurpassea  by 
anything  of  a  similar  nature." 

Potersfield,  Hants. — Hon?  is  a  lead  eques- 
trian statue  of  William  III.  It  was  the  gift 
of  William  JoUiffe,  Esq.,  and  stands  on  a 
lofty  pedestal  near  the  church.  I  am  in- 
fonned  by  a  correspondent  that  it  is  much 
warped  by  the  sun. 

Paignton.  Devon. — About  three  miles  from 
Paicnton,  on  the  road  to  Totnes.  stands  au 
old  honwe  known  as  the  Parliament  House. 
Hero  William  III.  held  his  first  Parliament 
after  landing  at  Rrixham,  6  November,  1688. 
Tlie  incident  w  commemorated  on  a  Bton& 
erected  in  the  garden. 

Minehead,  Somerset. — A  white  marble 
statue  of  Queen  Anne  was  presented  to  the 
town  in  1719  by  Sir  Jacob  Bankes,  or  Bancks. 
who  represented  Minehead  in  Parliament 
for  sixt-een  years.  Its  first  sit-e  was  on  or 
near  the  pier,  but  to  save  it  from  the  action 
of  the  weather  it  was  e\*entuaUy  removed  to 
the  church.  It  was  re-erected  in  Wellington 
Square  by  public  subscri[jtion  in  1 893.  being 
placed  within  a  domed  structure  upon  a 
pedestal  of  red  granite. 

Barnstaple,  Devon. — In  the  Strand,  oppo* 
site  the  bottom  of  Cross  Stre*^t,  is  the 
Exchange,  built  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Anne. 
Her  Majesty's  full-length  statue  graces  the 
c«ntre  of  the  parapet.  The  piazza  is  known 
as  Queftn  Anne's  walk. 

Kingaton-on-Thames,  Surrey. — Over  the 
main  entrance  to  tho  Town  Hall,  built  in 
1840,  is  placed  a  leaden  statue  of  Queen 
Anne,  which  occupied  a  niche  in  the  previous 
structure. 

Basingstoke.  Hants. — Near  this  town  is 
Hockwood,  the  seat  of  the  Duk©  of  Bolton- 
The  house  was  built  by  Inigo  Jones  in  1688. 
In  front  of  it  stands  an  equestrian  statue  of

.. — On  the  summit  of  Snow  Hill, 
at  the  end  of  the  Long  Walk  in  the  Great 
Pftric  is  a  coloaaal  bronze  equestrian  statue 
of  George  III.     it  was  erected  by  command 


of  George  IV.  from  a  design  by  Sir  Richard 
Westmacott,  being  completed  and  placed 
in  position  in  1832.  The  statue  l^  raised 
upon  a  pedestal  consistinc  of  a  mass  of 
rough  stones  intended  to  reprwent  a  rock. 
The  total  elevation  is  o\'er  50  feet,  the  statue 
itself  l>eing  26  feet  in  heieht.  At  the  time 
of  its  erection  a  writer  said  : — 

•*  Tho  lik<»ness  t<i  the  fm-L-  of  0<M>rso  III,  i&. 
vers*  ttdxnirablc*  ;  but  th*}Sv  who  recollect  that 
monarch  in  hu  plain  blue  coat  or  hii;  military 
jack-boota  will  have  difficulty  to  recijgnize  him 
in  his  Roman  costume." 

Weymouth,  Dorset, — It  was  right  and 
fitting  that  the  people  of  Weymouth  should 
erect  a  statue  to  their  tutelarj'  monarch 
George  III.,  whose  frequent  visits  added  so 
much  to  their  prosjjerity.  This  "  imixwing,'*^ 
though  *' somewhat  unsightly"  work  of 
art  stands  on  the  Es]>lanadc  at  the  junction 
of  St.  Mary  and  St.  Thomas  Streets.  It  was 
erected  in'l809  by 

The    Gratofol    Inhabitants 

to  GeorKC  the  Third 

on  his  rntering  tho  50th  year 

of  hrt  it»ign. 

Liverpool. — An  equestrian  statue  of  George 
III.  is  erected  on  the  London  Koad.  It  was 
designed  by  Westmacott  in  imitation  of  tliat 
of  Marcus  Aurelius  at  Rome.  It  was  placed 
in  position  in  1809,  bemg  originally  intended 
for  a  site  in  Groat  George  Square.  Its  total 
height  is  30  feet. 

Liverpool. — On  the  west  wall  of  the  south 
shed,  No.  1  Branch  of  the  Alexandra  Dock* 
is  a  granite  tablet  containing  a  representa- 
tion of  the  Arras  of  Great  Britain  and  the 
Crest  of  the  Pi'ince  of  Wales.  It  is  thus 
insoribed : — 

••  These  arms  of  Great  Britain  in  the  reign  of

Bristol. — There  was  apparently  at  one 
time  a  statue  of  George  IIL  here.  A  writer 
circa  1833  states  : — 

"  A  atone  statue  of  Oeorgf*  III.  was  erected 
in  Portland  Square  ;  but  during  the  French  war 
party  feeling  ran  bo  higli  that  the  head  of  the

Tlie  italics  aro  mine.  There  are  other 
ttntries  of  Halley  wills  in  the  index  of  the 
Prolmte  Registry  at  Lich6eld,  but  some  of 
the  (perhaps  most  relevant)  documents,  in- 
cluding two  William  Halley  wills,  are  non- 
extant.  Among  aueh  missing  documents  is 
the  administration  of  the  estate  of  Hum- 
phrey and  Margaret  Halley  of  Cheddleton 
(Ad.,  190  b,  1  July,  1597).  Perhaps  this 
Humphrey  Halley  was  identical  with  the 
Horatroy  Halley,  son  of  Robert  Halley  of 
Oretton,  in  the  parish  of  Youlgreave  (see 
above),  and  also  (?)  with  his  namesake  men- 
tioned in  the  following  item,  recently  sup- 
plied by  a  record-searcher  in  London  : — 

••  Duchy  of  Lancaster  :  Hawley.  Pleadings  in 
the  reign  of  Queen  ElizalM'th  ;  printed  calendar, 
pm    Si  J,    turn    {3Sth    year    of    Queen    Elizabeth) 


'  Hunifrey  Hawley  &  Wynifride  Rtreethey  or 
Htretye.'  Doth  are  defendants  as  to  t4>nenients 
and  lands  at  Vttoxeter.  Staffordshire.  Occupant 
of  the  premises  was  William  Walker,  and  the 
lessee  was  Robert  Wells.  Uttoxeter  is  on  the 
liorder  of  Derbyshire." 

Here,  no  doubt,  we  have  a  clue  to  the 
earlier  ancestry  of  the  famous  astronomer. 
The  latter's  paternal  grandfather  was 
Humphrey  Halley,  vintner,  of  London,  of 
whose  history  son^  new  facts  have  lately 
been  reoo\-er©d. 

Mr.  Beevor,  after  consulting  the  early 
records  of  the  Stationers*  Company,  printed 
by  E.  Arber.  sends  this  item  : — 

"  '  Received  of  Edmnnde  Hallye  at  hia  makbig 
free  of  this  IVimpany  the  2«th  day  Feb.,  15U0, 
3a.  iii,'  There  are  also  entries  relating  to  licences 
to  print  acctirded  ia  the  same  Edmonde  Hallye 
1562-<1.  Can  It  be  that  this  was  an  uxcestor  u(  the 
astronomer  ?     It  seems  possible." 

*  N.  &  Q.,'  at  3  S.  iii.  283-4,  gives  some 
entries  from  the  registers  of  All  UaUtnva^ 
Barking,  in  Essex.     I  repeat  three  below  : — 

"  157.^.  Robt*  ITard.  who  dyed  m  the  stre&t* 
bur.  28  Jan.'." 

*'  1582.  William,  somie  of  Willni  Delhirk^  al's 
Yorke,  One  of  the  Heraulivs,  bur.  March  29." 

"  lH8i,  April  22.  M'  Edmund  HaUeyoi  London, 
Merchant,  inurthered.  &  buryed  in  linen,  2(.  0«.  p' 
tt'i  this  parish  for  y*  use  of  the  poor." 

Again  the  italics  are  mine.  The  con- 
tributor, Mr.  Edward  J.  Sage  of  Stoke 
Newington,  mentions  a  "  valuable  paper  " 
on  the  Barking  registers  by  Mr.  Henry  W.. 
King  {Tratisactwna  Eaatx  Arch.  Society*  vol.  ii. 
part  iii.),  but  examination  thereof  revealu 
nothing  new  in  our  quest. 

The  Rev.  J.  W.  Eisdell,  Vicar  of  Barking, 
Essex,  obligingly  supplies  Mr.  Bee\''or  with 
the  following  interestmg  entries  : — 

"  1«84,  AprU  22.  Mr.  Edmund  Hiilley  of 
I^indun,  Merchant,  murthered  and  buryed  in 
linen.  2/.  10«.  ]>^  to  this  Parish  for  the  use  of  the 
poor." 

"  1672.  Oct.  21.  Ann.  wife  of  Edmond  Haw- 
ley," 

" There  is  a  hiatus  in  the  registers  (mar- 
riage) l<H5-t661.  1  can  find  no  traec  of  the 
baptism  of  Edmond  Halley  [lfi6«]." 
"  I  think  this  is  a  correct  transcription  : — 
*'  '1617.  November,  Humphrey  Haylv  A  Ksllic- 
rine  Newea.  married  ye  24th  day  of  l^oveaiber'; 
but  the  wnting  is  difficult." 

The    bride's     maiden      surname    was,    un- 
doubtedly. Mewea  or  Mewoe. 

A  search  of  the  registers  of  St.  Giles, 
Cripplegate  (1606-1719),  had  already  re- 
vealed this  entry: — 

"  Ann.  w.  of  Efl"  Halley,  Gent,  buried  24th  Oct.

Once  more  the  italics  are  mine  in  the  willfl 
of  James  Pyke  of  Deptford  and  of  Jamea 
Pyke  of  St.  Leonard's,  Shoreditch.  A 
search  vras  made  of  the  bapti.»(mal  register 
(1702-8)  of  St.  Nicholaa,  Deptford,  to  ascer- 
tain  whether  the  older  James  (will  proved 
1718)  had  a  daughter  Mary  or  Elizabeth, 
but  in  vain.  This  makes  one  doubt  a  Uttlo 
the  identity  of  his  son  James  with  the  Janiea 
Pyke  of  St.  Leonard's,  Shoredith.  It  will  be 
noted  that  the  latter  mentions  a  nephew 
William  Pyke  and  Sarah  liis  wife.  VVliat 
was  the  maiden  surname  of  the  wife  Sarah  T 
Was  she  a  daughter  of  Mrs.  Sybilla  Halley 
of  East  Greenwich  {ob.  1772)  by  a  marrin«e 
before  that  with  the  astronomer^s  only 
maturing  son,  Edmund  Hailev.  jun.,  surgeon 
R.X.  (oS.  Feb.,  1740/41)  T*  He  seems  to 
have  died  without  issue  (10  S.  vii.  446). 
WTiat  was  the  surname  of  Mrs.  Sybilla 
Halley^s  (supposed)  first  husband  ?  Was 
it  Stewart  or  Bruoe  ?  Did  they  have  two 
daughtens,  Sybilla  and  Sarah  T  Did  one 
daughter,  Sybilla,  marrv  John  Parry  and 
have  issue  (s'ee  10  S.  xii.  *344  ;  1 1  S-  i.  286)  T 
Did  the  other  (supposed)  daughter,  Sarah, 
marry  William  Pyke  and  have  issue  one 
son  James,  born  r.'l76l  ?  See  fl  S.  xi.  206-6  ;

The  explanation  of  tho  curious  form  in 
which  the  proverb  is  quoted  by  Fisher, 
where  **  acceasoria  sorcinula "  has  no 
correspondence  to  rovrriypafxfia,  may  be 
seen  oy  consulting  Erasmus's  *  Adagia.' 
p.  24,  in  Grynffias's  edition  of  1629.  under  the 
heading  ''Accessio  pasilla  aut  nimia.*  Eras- 
mus, after  quoting  tho  firoek  words,  \vith  tho 
substitution  of  toi' n-(Vayjua  for  roviriypafLfta, 
and  translating  them  "  At  tu  fortasao  voreria,

an  extra  packet  taken  by  a  carrier  besides 
his  proper  load.  But  the  change  is  uncalled 
for.  The  proverb  of  the  label  being  larger 
than  the  bag  is  unintentionally  illustrated 
by  a  picture  postcard  tliat  may  be  seen  in 
Wales,  on  which  an  adhesive  label  of  inter- 
minable length,  imprinted  with  a  notorious

which  for  many  yoars  has  stood  at  the  comer 
of  Rye  Lane,  will  remove  another  famous 
South  London  landmark.  The  congregation 
has  an  unbroken  history  of  over  two  cen-

shipped in  a  building  known  as  the  "  Meeting 
House,"  which  stood  on  a  site  close  to  High 
Street,  Peckham,  and  is  still  commemorated 
by  the  thoroughfare  known  aa  Meeting- 
House  Lane.  Tliis  chapel  wae  started  in 
1657  by  the  Rev.  John  Maynard,  the 
ejected  vicar  of  Camberwell  Parish  Church. 
In  17.M-4  the  pastor  was  Dr.  John  Milner,

endeavouring  to  assuage  a  himcry  mind  on 
Great  Eastern  Railway  timetables.  A  list 
of  markets  in  places  ser\"ed  by  the  G.E.R. 
absorbs  my  attention.  Fifty-seven  towns 
are  mentioned,  and  of  these  thirteen  only 
have  Saturday  markets,  se^'en  of  them  having 
likewise  a  market  on  some  other  day  of  the

day ;  Lynn  and  Saffron  Walden,  Tuesday 
and  Saturday  :  Norwich.  Peterborough,  and 
Yarmouth,  Wedne-sday  and  Saturday  ;  and 
Wisbech,  Thursday  and  Saturday.  To  me 
Saturday  seems  to  be  such  a  specially  appnj-

surprised  to  find  the  farming  world  is  of  a

.  reader  give 
information  as  to  the  origin  of  the  remark- 
able ceremony  at  the  consecration  of  this 
Cathedral  on  Tuesday,  the  28th  of  June  7 
I  believe  that  its  history  has  long  been  a 

Euzde  to  ecclesiastical  orcliffiologists.  Arch- 
ishop  Bourne  traced  the  letters  of  the  Gre<^k 
and  Latin  alphabets  on  forty-seven  heaps 
of  aehee  on  the  floor  of  the  Cathedral.  Tne 
Illustrate  London  Newa  of  the  2nd  of  July, 
under  an  illustration  of  the  ceremony, 
states  :— 

"  The  most  popular  theory  is  that  it  oriRinated  io 
the  procedure  of  tho  Komsn  land  surveynnt,  who 
traced  two  trans^'em  lines  in  the  tirst  inatonoe  on 
the  l&nds  they  wished  to  measure." 

The  Rev.  Herbert  Thurston,  writing  in 
The  Mo?Uh,  suggests  that  Celtic  influences 
have  much  to  do  with  the  ceremony,  and 
quotes  OS  one  of  several  points  in  favour  of 
his  view.  Nenniua's  statement  concerning 
St.  Patrick  i— 

"  He  wrote  three  hundred  and  siity-five  alpha- 
bets or  iiioro,  and  hu  al»o  fonuded  ohurohea  in  the 
sanio  numbcT,  three  hundred  and  sixty  five.  He

or  more,  in  whom  was  the  Spirit  of  God."

GEORGE  I.  STATUES. 
(11  S.  ii  7.) 

Thebe  liave  been  four  statues  of  George  I. 
in  London,  vir.  : — 

1.  In  Leicester  Square. 

2.  La  the  Royal  Exchange,  burnt  in  1838. 

3.  On  the  Bo-called  steeple  of  St.  George's 
Church.  Hart  Street,  Bloomabury. 

4.  In  GroBvenor  Square. 

Of  the  four,  only  one,  that  on  St.  George's 
steeple,  remains. 

The  equestrian  statue  of  George  X.  which 
stood  in  the  centre  of  Leicester  Squart^  oaiue 
from  Canons,  the  seat  of  the  Duke  of 
Chandos.  It  is  said  to  have  be«n  cast 
by  Van  Nost,  was  erected  in  Leicester 
^uare  by  Frederick.  Prince  of  Wales — 
Walpole  says  to  vex  his  father,  George  II. 
— and  uncovered  with  some  ceremony  IB 
November,  1748.  When  the  building  for 
"  Wyld'a  Great  Globe  **  was  erected  in 
1851,  the  statue  was  taken  down  and  buried. 
On  the  removal  of  tliat  Htructure  in  October, 
1862,  the  statue  was  again  set  up,  but  minus 
a  leg  and  otherwise  diefigured.  It  was  sold 
22  May.  1872,  for  16/.  Tlus  is  part  of  the 
story  as  told  by  Mr,  Henry  B.  Wheatlcy 
in  '  London  Past  and  Present,*  1891,  a.v.

Holling^head's  book,  p.  73.  Some  time

that  time. 

There  were  statues  of  the  firet  two  Georges

also  destroyed  by  fire  10  January,  1838. 
Apparently  the  only  statue  which  escaped 
was  that  of  Sir  Thomas  Greeham.  It  nad 
also  escaped  in  the  Great  Fire.  (*  London

The  equestrian  statue  of  George  1.  whicb 
was  in  Leiceeter  Square  was  the  one  formerly 
at  Canons.  It  was  the  work  of  Buchard, 
and  was  executed  for  the  Duke  of  Chandos. 

In  1747.  when  Canons  was  dismantled, 
the  inliabitants  of  Leicester  Square  bought 
the  statue  and  placed  it  in  tlie  centre  of  the 
Square.  In  1812  it  was  regilt,  but  after  a 
time  it  waa  allowed  to  perish,  and  ultimately 
was  pulled  to  pieces  by  the  populace.

Family  (11  S.  i.  508).— The  follow- 
on  the  Paris  family  of  Cambridge 
?r*st  E.  H, 
iBA  Paris  was  in  1 781  the  residuary 
in  the  will  of  his  father  John  Paris, 
ller^  in  St.  Benedict's  Parish,  Cam- 
40/.  a  year  was  left  to  his  mother 
Aon,  and  certain  property  to  his  sister 
Bridoet.  a  minor. 

IW  Thomas  Paris  was  the  owner  of  four 
niMRMgee  in  (what  is  now]  Sil\*er  Street, 
oo  Ui»  ftite  of  the  Pitt  Press.  These  houses 
hp  had  inherited  in  1768  from  an  aunt  of  the 
aune  nan>B  as  his  sister,  who  had  acquired 
thwn  in  1767.  Thomas  parted  with  them 
is  1796,  when  ho  moved  into  Trumpington 


Street  (St.  £d ward's  poxisli).  where  he  lived 
till  his  death,  which  apparently  took  place 
in  1814. 

Thi:$  Thomas  Paris  was  perhaps  the  father 
of  John  Ayrton  Paris,  M.D.  (It  may  be 
noted  that  in  Cooper's  *  Annals,'  v.  242, 
the  physician  is  said  to  have  been  the  son 
of  John  Paris,  organist  of  Peterhouse.) 

An  earlier  Thomas  Paris  (who  may  have 
been  the  father  of  the  bookseller)  liv<»d  at  the 
south-west  end  of  University  Street,  or 
Regent  Walk,  the  celebrated  street  which 
ran  from  the  west  door  of  Great  St.  Mary's 
Church  to  the  University  Schools.  The 
building  in  which  he  dwelt  had  fonnerly 
been  a  well-known  coSee-houso.  and  ha«  a 
history  as  the  property  of  Prof.  Christopher 
Green.  This  Thomas,  who  was  church- 
warden of  Clreat  St,  Mary's  in  1729  (see  O.  J. 
Gray's  CA.S-  paper  on  t]io  buildings  near 
that  church),  died  in  1744.  His  name  and 
that  of  his  widow  occur  frequently  in  con- 
nexion with  property  in  that  neighbourhood.

The  word  which  A.  F.  H.  supposes  to  be 
"  separitite  '*  is  no  doubt   '*  tripartite," 

An  explanation  of  conveyance  by  feoff* 
ment  would  take  up  too  much  epace  in  your 
columns,  and  would  bo  too  tedmicol  for  the 
general  reader.  Any  good  textbook  on  the

mode  of  conveyance,  though  possibly  a

HjucrsHmE  Hoo  (II  S,  i.  480).— To  the 
ciKTunutanco  of  this  county  ha\ing  been 
pfOV«rbiaUy  famous  for  it«  breed  of  hoga  in 
owing  tlie  fact  that  a  native  bears  the 
county  nickname  of  "Hampshire  Hog." 
This  description,  however,  is  quite  innocent  of 
loy  uncomplimentary  intention.  As  in 
the  case  of  Silly  [i.e.,  siuiplel  Suffolk,*'  it 
ia  int*«nd*d  to  convey  the  meaning  of  a 
honest  coimtryman.  The  Hamp- 
'  of  hogs  waa  formerly,  and 
is,  the  largest  of  it«  kind,  and 
.  was  encouraged  by  farmers 
:  profil^l^le.  Tho  hojLrs  in  the 
,  ;  :iie  fort«t8  were  priui'i|»ally  fed 
lAcoms  and  beech-mast,  wluch  gave 
a  HUporiority  over  all  others  in  the 
and  their  weight  was  from  sixteen 
lofty  aoore.  At  first  the  animals  were 
tlMfly  killed  for  bacon  ;  but  lat<»r  pn^at 
ambers  for  home  consumption  were  pirkltxl 
Bkrpe  tube.  The  bones  and  the  lean  were 
f*fa«  away,  and  tho  fat,  remaining  in  the 
k^mm  (or  nearly  a  year  before  use,  became 
iM«  finn  and  profitable. 

U  h  owing  to  the  plu'aso  having  become 
a  «oaqilimentary  nickname  that  it  occurs  as 
A  Urvm  sign  rather  frequently  in  London. 
Then;  i*  a  **  Hampshire  Hog"  at  410, 
Stmod.  There  was  also  one  in  Charles 
SUwt,  Grosvenor  Square.     Other  Bur\iva(8 


are  in  Berwick  Street,  Soho,  and  at  227, 
King  Street,  Hammersmith.  **Tho  Hamp- 
shire Hog  Inn,"  opposite  the  church  of  St. 
(jJiles-in-the-Fields,  gave  its  name  to  Hamp- 
shire Hog  Yard.  A  siun  of  £3  a  year, 
issuing  from  the  ground  rent  of  this  inn,  was 
in  1677  given  to  tlxe  poor  by  Mr.  William 
Wooden,  a  vestryman  of  that  time  (see 
*  Bloomsbiuy  and  St.  Giles,'  by  George 
Clinch,  18flO.  p.  49;  and  Parion's  'St. 
Giles,'  p.  243).  J.  Holden  MacMichakl. 
Wroxton  (■r&nKO>  Folkestone. 

Is  not  '*  Hampshire  hog "  a  nickname 
for  a  Hampshire  man,  just  as  **  Moonraker  ** 
is  tlie  sobriquet  of  a  Wiltshire  man,  the 
allusion  being  derived  from  the  wild  hogs 
of  the  New  Forest  y  Tho  late  Thomas  W. 
Shore,  F.O.S.,  in  his  "  History  of  Hamp- 
shire/ 1892.  p.  42,  writes  that 
"  wild  boara  were  common,  und  from  them  waa 
probably  derived  the  old  breed  of  hojiH  whioh  woa 
ats  very  CArly  iteriod  idcntitiod  with  thi»  county, 
and  from  whicn  it«  jocular  name  of  'Hoglandia* 
was  derived.  The  forest  land  of  Hamjmhire,  whioh 
is  so  considerable  at  the  present  day,  was  of  much 
greater  extent  in  Homano-BritiBh,  and  even  in 
medieval  time,  and  these  tore«t«  ha-^-e  always 
afforded  pauoofte  for  a  Un{e  number  of  hu|{9. 
Traoes  of  t'he  ancient  breed  still  remain  iu  the 
awine  of  the  New  Forest." 

Near  Famham,  just  over  the  border  in  the 
adjoining  county  of  Siurey,  is  the  narrow 
chftik  ridgp  known  as  the  Hog's  Back.  In 
Southampton  there  was  formerly  common 
land  known  as  Hoggeslonde,  Hogland,  or 
Hoglands  (see  Rev.  J.  Sil\'ostcr  Davies, 
'Historjr  of  Southampton,'  1883).  Tlie 
Hampshire  hog  will  probably  be  found  in 
many  place-names.  In  the  metropolitan 
borough  of  Hammersmith,  where  I  am 
writing,  there  is  a  public-house  called  ^'Ihe 
Hampshire  Hog,'*  and  leading  from  it  down 
to  tho  riverside  is  a  narrow  iane  called 
Hampshire  Hog  Lane. 

Fbede.  a.  Edwabds. 

Mr.  Bektinck  asks  whether  a  Hampshire 
hog  ia  a  sheen  or  a  pig.  I  venture  to  think  it 
is  neither.  In  Hazlitt^s  *  English  Proverbs ' 
the  following  four  lines  arc  quot^^  taken 
from  '  Vado  Macum  for  Malt-worms  (1720), 
Part  I.   p.  50  :— 

Now  to  the  flign  of  Finh  let  *b  joff. 

There  to  find  ont  a  Hampshire  Hog, 

A  man  whom  none  can  lay  a  fault  on, 

The  pink  of  oourtesie  at  Alton. 

It  would  thus  app»ear  that  a  Hampsliire  hog 
was  simply  a  native  or  resident  in  the  county. 
At  the  same  time,  the  reference  does  not 
se«m  to  bo  altogether  complimentary.

HOCKTIDE  AT  HeXTON  :  ROPE  MONDAY 

(10  S.  xi.  488  ;  xii.  71,  139,  214.  263,  5U  ; 
11  S.  i.  338). — In  support  of  what  1  wrote  at 
the  penultimate  reference  on  the  derivation 
of  **  Hocktide  "  from  A.-S.  hedh  tid  and  a 
hj'pothetieal  Anplo-Freneh  haul  tide.  Douce 
InBrand's  'Popular  Antiquities,'  p.  101,  note, 
is  made  to  say  :  *'  I  tind  that  Easter  is  called 
*  Hye-tide  '  in  Robert  of  Gloucwt«r  "  ;  and, 
strange  to  say,  the  same  authority  on  p.  100, 
speaking  of  Florence  of  WorcpRter,  Langtoff, 
and  Robert  of  Gloucester,  has  :  *'  These 
three  last  writers  do  not  mention  a  word 
about  hocktide.'* 

To  me  it  seems  more  tliaa  likely  too  that 
"high  day"  in  the  '  N.E.D.*  is  a  doublet 
of  *' heyday"  (A.-S.  hedh,  M.E.  /icA,  he^,

latter  word  as  '*  of  uncertain  origin."

CowES  Family  (11  S.  i.  508).— On 
3  August,  1030,  the  will  was  proved  {PC.C. 
ScroopG,  72)  of  Simon  Cowse  of  the  parish 
of  St.  Bartliolomew  the  Great,  London, 
citizen  and  goldsmith,  by  his  widow  Alice. 

The  following  were  married  at  St.  James's, 
Duke  Place,  London  : — 

Alexander  Cowse  and  Anne  Mekins,  1667. 

John  Driver  and  Elizabeth  Cowos,  1680. 

Will.  Dennis  aud  Martha  Oawes,  1682. 

In  1681  a  R6bt.  Cowes  is  mentioned  in  the 
marriage  registers  of  the  same  church. 

H.  Cow©  of  22.  Parade,  Berwick-on-TwceH, 
clxanged  his  name  to  Cowen  ;  see  Tirn^,  19 
September.  1894.  B.  U.  L.  L. 

Th»'  following  rough  jottings,  chiefly  on 
Scottish  family  names,  gathered  in  the  course 
of  desultory  reading  or  from  inspection  of 
records,  may  perhaps  be  of  use  to  Y.  T. 

Coose  is  foimd  in  the  '  Edinburgh  Marriage 
Resriftt-ers  '  in  1622. 

The  author  of  a  book  on  *  Mechanical 
Philosophy,*  published  at  Boston.  U.S.A.. 
in  1851,  S.  E.  Coues,  perhaps  indicates 
A  variation  of  Coose  or  (/owes. 


In  1618,  and  several  following  years, 
Thomas  Coo  appears  as  unjustly  detained  in 
Newgate  on  some  unspecified  charge. 

Cow,  as  a  family  name,  en^erges  frequently 
in  Scotland,  as  in  PertJishii-e,  1594  and  1675  ; 
Forfarshire,  1614  and  1621  ;  Berwickshire, 
16o3;  Edinburgh  (city  and  coimty),  1687 
and  1744;  Banffshire,  1740.  In  London  I 
have  only  seen  it  in  this  spelling  in  1816  and 
1851. 

The  name  Cowe  appears  in  Aberdeenshire 
as  early  as  1650,  and  agam  in  1660.  It  is 
mentioned  in  connexion  with  Middlesex  in 
1797  and  1806:  and  in  London  for  1816,  1842, 
1849,  and  1868. 

Cowie,  as  a  place-name,  is  found  as  early  aa 
1090.  It  Ia  a  fishing  village  in  Kincardine- 
shire, with  remains  of  a  castle — the  Castle  of 
Cowie — built  by  Malcolm  Canmorc. 

As  a  family  name,  Cowie  occurs  very  fre- 
quently, as  in  Edinburgh,  lo76,  1594,  1623. 
1658.  1702.  and  1765;  Perthshire.  1622; 
Fifoshire.  1626;  Forfarshire.  1628:  Stirling- 
shire.  1636 :  AberdeenHhire,  1674,  1771. 
1799.  and  1800;  Lanarkshire,  1680:  Inver- 
ness, 1731;  Elginshire,  1766 ;  Montreal 
(Canada),  1809  and  1812;  London,  1816, 
1842.  1845,  1851,  1861.  and  1866;  India, 
(Civil  Servants).  1825,  1829,  and  1832; 
Australasia  (Rev.  W.  G.  Cowie,  Bishop  of 
Auckland,  bom  in  London,  1831);  Dundee 
(R.  Cowie).  1871. 

Might  one  venture  the  opinion  that  the 
pliice-narae  Cowie  is  the  source  whence  the 
different  varieties  of  the  family  name  have 
been  derived  ?  W-  S.  S. 

Why  cannot  this  family  have  come  from 
the  *'  Coo  "  family  T  The  pronunciation  of 
the  word  "  cow  "  on  Tvneaide  is  "  coo."

by    heart     the     stauxa    conceruiug     the     Dying 


Gladiator.  Hla  acorn  f?r  those  who  **  prefer 
erotic  lyriciam  and  egotistical  aentfment  luj  the' 
noblest  poetry  on  the  rise,  full,  and  decline  of  the 
Komau  P^pire  "  is  somewlmt  overtlone.  Aa  Mr. 
Austin  ahows  a  few  lines  earlier.  Byiym  is  himself 
not  free  fnim  *'  splendid  egotism,"  and  the  fact  la 
AS  much  a  commoDplacc  as  nuiny  pi-onnunceuienta 
on  poetry  wiiicii  now  tlourish  in  the  press.  Com- 
pliuients  from  Ooethe  coucemlng  Byron  are 
quoted  to  which  we  do  not  object,  out  it  may  be 
added  that  more  searcldng  sentiments  ftxmi  the 
Btuae  source  are  ftvailablo. 

We  are  delighted  with  &tr.  H.  C.  Birou's  article 
on  *  A  Red'faced  Nixon.'  Such,  it  may  be 
recalled,  waa  the  designation  of  a  soniewhat 
myst«rioua  prophet  in  *  Pickwick.'  Mr.  Biron 
found  at  a  secimd'hand  bookstHlI  a  slender 
voluxne  which  dispelled  his  doubta  aa  to  the 
soundness  of  commentators  on  the  prophet.  It 
waa  *  Nixun'fl  Prophecies  :  the  Original  Predic- 
tions of  Robert  Nixon,  conintonly  railed  the 
Cheshire  Prophet,*  and  contained  some  details 
of  his  shrewdness  which  Mr.  Biron  comments 
on  in  an  agreeable  style.  The  prophecies  <]Uot«d 
have  that  vein  of  wide  application  which  we 
remember  in  certain  Greek  oracles,  and  tias.  we 
dare  say,  always,  as  Uibbim  suggests,  distiu- 
guished  the  disi'reet  aeer.  Mr.  J.  Barnard-James 
hoe  an  intorestlug  article  '  In  the  Tmck  of  the 
Locust.*  The  account  of  the  cfforta  made  to 
divert  or  destroy  the  advance  of  theae  insocta  is 
moat  atrilcfaig.  The  devastation  they  cause  is 
almost  beyond  belief,  and  "  each  female  is  esti- 
mated to  lay  about  10,000  eggs.  Theae.  clinging 
t*.)gether  and  forming  a  khid  of  brown  cocoon, 
are  deposited  on  the  grrtund,  which  they  resemble 
in.  colour,  and  they  are  therefore  not  eaeily  dia* 
c(?rned." 

Mr.  A.  Maurice  Low  writes  well,  as  usual,  on 
'  American  AiTairs,*  indicating,  amongst  nther 
things,  tliat  President  Taft  will  liave  to  be  re- 
nominated ;  otherwise  it  is  "  tantamount  tt>  an 
admission  that  he  personally  or  his  administration 
as  a  whole  has  been  a  failure,  and  that  is  a  heavy 
handicap  to  overcome." 

Mr.  Austin  Dobaon  has  one  of  liia  neat  and 
informative  articles  on  '  (Ibambera  the  Architect,* 
wlin  is  known  to  Fume  aa  the  layer-out  of  the 
grounds  at  Kcw  Palace  and  the  arcttitect  of 
Sofncrset  House,  and  un  whom  Mn.  Alcce 
Ann.AnA.HH  had  a  note  in  last  week's  *  N.  Ai  Q,' 
{nnff,  p.  2G).  The  article  on  '  (irf-ater  Britain  ' 
lias  some  remarkable  facts  cunceniiug  Australia^ 
For  instance,  there  is  good  land  only  twenty- 
Ave  miloa  from  Melbourne  that  has  never  been 
cultivaU'd.  Such  a  state  of  affairs  may  rightly 
be  called  "  disease." 

ly  The  Burlington.  Magcuine  the  usual  editorial 
articles  do  n<tt  figure,  but  Mr.  Lionel  Oust  leads 
off  with  *  A  Portrait  of  Queen  Catherine  Howard  * 
by  Hans  Ittdbein  tlie  Younger.  The  discovery 
of  a  new  and  authentic  portrait  «if  an  English 
queen,  painted  in  Kngland  by  such  a  Ivand,  u 
"  an  event  of  no  little  tnteroet."  Illustrations  of 
the  picture  and  of  others  of  the  same  lady  ore

of  the  moat  satisfactory  in  an  expert  paper  which 
is  more  concerned  with  the  glories  of  the  past 
than  the  effort*  of  the  ijresent  day.  Two  illus- 
trations— of  Mr.  Wilson  Steer's  '  Richmond  Ciwtlo

represent  pictures  wlUch  may  rank  as  Old  Masters

that  the  Committt'e  whicli  inquired  in  lUO-4  into

propowd  that,  instead  of  a  Council  of  ten  as

pointed including  an  .\£sociat^  nominjhttHi  by 
the  AMoctat^s,  who  had  hitherto  had  no  voice 
in  deciding  purchases.  Such  a  committee  was 
appointed  fur  the  following  year,  and  Is  under- 
aiood  to  have  recommended  a  good  example  of 
Mr.  Botbeostein.  and  one  of  Buxton  Knight's 
maaterpieces,  the  '  Wint^^r  Sunshine.'  "  Both 
recommendations  were  thrownout  by  the  Council." 
The  Acodeiuy  thus  shows  once  m<tre  tlie  farcical 
cluiracter  of  official  committees,  which  aeem  only 
a  means  of  stopping  the  course  of  public  inquiry 
by  resolutions  which  are  of  no  avail. 


OKK KAL00lCALS00I£Tr  FOR  TUC  UnITRU  KjNODOM. 

— An  iDforroatmeetinK  was  held  on  the  29th  of  June, 
at  which  it  was  agreed  that  an  attempt  ahould  be 
made  to  iteoure  the  support  of  fifty  repreMuUitive 
genealogists.  Tbew,  as  founderB,  will  subsoribe  a 
Ruiuea  apiece  for  the  purpose  of  plocinK  before  the 
greater  gooealogioal  ]mblic  &  scheme,  and  one  that 
shall  be  well-considered  and  likely  to  endure,  for 
the  formation  of  a  "Society  of  Geuealogisto  of 
London."  InQuential  support  has  been  olmdy 
promised,  and  those  interested  will  be  advised  of 
the  pro}?re«s  of  the  movement  if  they  will  seud  their 
names  to  the  Hon.  Secretary  pro  Um.,  Room  22, 
227.  Strand,  W.C. 


Dr.  Fubmvall. — The  veteran  scholar  Dr. 
Frederick  James  Fumivall,  wh4j  died  on  the  Itth 
inst.,  and  was  bom  as  long  ago  as  1825,  had 
contributed  to  '  N.  &  Q.'  for  many  years,  both 
under  hia  own  name  and  the  inltiolia  F.  J.  F. 
His  work  is  well  known  to  all  lovers  of  English, 
for  he  was  a  champion  founder  of  sr>cietji>B  for 
literary  study,  beginning  with  the  Early  English 
Text  Society  in  18*31.  His  share  in  the  Philological 
Society  Jed  to  hie  being  one  of  the  early  pr<j* 
motfpH  of  the  Oxfurd  English  Dictionary,  and 
be  was  indefatigable  in  supplying  quotations 
/or  that  great  work.     Be  wa*  also  deeply  interested 


in  Shakespeare,  a  subject  on  wiiiuh  ht»  wrote 
several  times,  iutrvxlucing,  for  instance,  the 
*'  Leupnld  Edition  "  of  several  years  ago,  and 
adding  to  the  '*  Century  Edition  two  years  ogo, 
with  Mr.  John  Munro.  a  charocterlatic  little 
volume  on  the  poet's  life. 

Throughout  hia  cart'pr  I>r.  Pumivall  was  a  man 
of  splenditl  t-nthiisiasnis,  who  was  able  to  arliieve 
mu(h  for  his  favourite  sul-jccts  by  Ills  untiring 
energy.  An  essential  part,  perhaps,  of  such  a 
temperament  wils  thot  ho  '*  loved  a  row."  Ilia 
life  was  certainly  unconventional,  like  his  sppUing, 
and  his  ta*4te,  as  exhibited  in  variuus  outbut-sts 
of  his  which  got  int4>  print,  was  repugnant  to 
many.  But  such  things  are  as  nothing  when  we 
consider  his  long  lalK>urs  (largely  labours  of  love) 
for  the  cause  fit  English,  and  the  generous  way 
in  which  hv  always  encouragini  and  helped  itther 
workers.  It  is  snnie  while  siucv  his  eminence  was 
recognized  by  the  unusual  compliment  of  a 
"  Festschrift  '  presented  to  him  by  a  rcpreaen- 
tatlve  body  of  scholars  on  the  occasion  of  his 
seventy-fifth  l)irthday. 

We  need  ninre  sut-h  impassioned  students  If 
English  iu  these  days  of  commercialism  Is  to  hold 
its  own. 

D.  W.  Fbroubon. — The  Times  of  the  2nd  insl- 

noticcs  the  death  at  Croydon  on  20  .Tune  of  Mr. 
Donald  William  Ferguson,  who  had  for  some 
time  l>een  snflfering  from  cunaumptiuu  : — 

"  Mr.  Ferguson  was  the  younger  surviving 
son  of  the  late  A.  M.  Ferguson,  C^M.O..  a  well- 
known  publicist  and  leading  colonist,  who  arrived 
in  Ceylon  from  tlie  Scottish  Ili^'hlands  In  1H37, 
and  lived  there  for  55  years  till  hia  death.  He 
became  chief  proprietor  and  editor  of  The  Ceylon 
Oh»erver,  &<*.,  and  his  son  succeeded  him  for  a 
time  ;  but  eventually  in  1803  retired  to  England 
where  he  worked  on  the  past  history,  eRi>e<'i»lIy 
in  the  Portuguese  and  U\itch  annals  and  rec^irda, 
of  Ceylon  adminjstratiuu." 

We  may  mid  that  both  in  The  Atkenceum  and 
our  own  columns  Mr.  Ferguson's  work  was  highly 
valued.  He  had  a  remarkable  knowledge  of  the 
earlier  history  of  India,  and  td  the  vX&bb  of  tra- 
vellers whose  writings  havu  been  published  by 
the  Uakluyt  Societv.  His  latest  contributino  is 
at  lis.  1.41.

SOUTH  AFRICAN  SLANG. 

Int  Dr.  Karl  Lentzner's  *  Worterbuch  der 
engliftchen  Volkssprache  Aiistratiens  und 
einiger  englisehen  Mischsprachen,'  which  haa 
the  sub-title  *  Colonial  English,  a  Glossary  ' 
(Halle,  Leipzig,  nnd  London,  1891),  I  find 
on  p.  101,  under  the  heading  '  South  African 
Slang,'  the  following  item  : — 

"  Foofjtac,  be  off !  An  apostrophe  to  drive  away 
intrusive  dogs.  Api^areiitly  a  com)X>mtd  ol  the 
Freuoh/oiUn-,  pronounced /ou/e,  and  mut^** 

As  this  word  may  perhaps  find  its  way 
into  a  supplement  to  the  '  N.K.D.,'  it  may  not 
be  useless  to  point  out  that  it  is  simply  a  con- 
traction of  Dutch  Foort,  zm  iJt,  **AwBy 
(forth),  say  I." 

The  **High"  Dutch  zi^ggen  has  become 
zi  or  9i  in  South  Africa,  as  leggen  has  beccme 
Z(?,  Ac,  and  as  M.E.  seggen  and  leggen  became 
"say"  and  'May.'*  Voort=vort :  bo  we 
have  vort  ze'k,  and  this,  heard  by  English 
ears  and  pronounced  by  an  English  tongue, 
quite  explains  the  *'  word." 

On  p.  102  of  the  same  book  »coff,  food,  and 
to  acoff  or  to  scorf^  "to  de\*our,  eat  voraci- 
ously "  (this  definition  is  not  correct  :  it 
means  sintply  '*  to  eat  *'),  are  compared  with 
Daniflh  akafft,  a  naval  term  "  to  eat."  But 
there  is  a  Dutch  schaffen  or  acftafteii,  "to 
knock  o0  Work  for  taking  meals,"  a  work- 
man's term,  and  doubtless  originally  a 
Dutch  naval  tenn.  The  word  occurs  in 
Englisli  dialects  as  well ;  Wright,  '  E.D.D..' 
also  defines  it  "to  eat  voraciously,  to 
devoiu".'* 

There  ia  a  bit  of  a  knot  in  the  etymology. 

The  word  means  in  Dutch  also  "  to  pro- 
cure "  {ver^schaffen,  procure),  and  "to  ao," 
"to  bring  about."     In  these  meanings  it  is

■certainly  from  Germ,  srhaffen,  and  connected 
by  the  prolific  root  ekap  with  schSpfen^  Du. 
■Bcheppen,  Engl,  scoop. 

All  through  the  history  of  this  root  run 
two  meanings,  **  to  scoop  (up)'*  and  *' to 
create,  make,  form/*  and  they  meet  in  Du, 
acheppen,  **They  cannot  be  aeparoted." 
ssyfi  J.  Franck.  "The  original  meaning  is 
obscure,  because  this  root  is  not  known  out- 
aide  Germanic."  Let  me  say  tliat  Freucii 
has  chope^  a  large  beer-glass  and  measure, 
from  Germ.  Schoppen ;  and  chopine,  & 
popular  (and  by  no  means  obsolete,  as  the 
^ctionariea  state)  measure  for  wine,  about 
half  a  litre.  Tliua  it  seenis  easy  to  explain 
the  verb  to  scoffs  "  to  eat,"  through  the 
meanings  "  to  make/^  '*  to  prepare  (for 
eating),  **  to  dish  up," 

But  in  the  Dutch  language  they  have  a 
verb  achofUn,  **  to  knock  off  work  for 
meals,"  which  would  be  derived  froui  the 
noun  schofi,  *'the  fourth  part  of  a  workday," 
separated  by  the  meals.  This  noun  has 
equivalents  in  Scandinavian  and  Low- 
German.  Dutch  has  both  ecJmfi'tyd  and 
^ioft-tydt  meaning  the  same  thing,  yet 
Franck  would  have  them  unrelated.  "This 
word  sciwit^"^  lie  says.  *'  relates  to  achuivtn,  to 
glide,  to  tf/tofe."  Does  it  though  T  Not 
more  than  in  so  far  as  the  root  of  shove  may 
be  related  to  the  root  of  scoop.  It  seems  to 
me  that  the  similarity  of  schaften  and 
^dbofUn,  and  their  derivatives,  has  escaped 
the  attention  of  Fronck.  Might  not  the 
me-oning  *'  working-time,"  **  part  of  the 
<iay,"  be  secondary,  and  the  result  of  trons- 
fKMUtion — from  the  meaning  "meal-time^" 
to  *'  the  time  between  meals  "?  The  plural  of 
ac/ioftt  achoven,  shows  that  the  t  is  excrescent; 
«o  is  that  in  schaftcn  ,-  they  may  both  be  due 
to  the  compound  8c^ha/(t)-iyd,  ar^iof{t)-tyd= 
**BCoff-time,'*  *' acoffing-time." 

If  that  is  80,  then  they  are  e\idently 
identical,  and  the  noun  achoft  in  the  above 
4ense  is  derived  from  the  verb.  Then  the 
etymologist  in  connecting  acoff  with  the 
root  of  acoop,  &c.,  is  safe.  N,  Raapp, 


Sib  WnxiAM  Godbold. — Sixty  years  is  a 
long  period  for  a  query  in  your  ever-intersst* 
ing  paper  to  remam  unanswered. 

While  it  is  doubtful  if  the  original  querist 
be  still  alive  to  glean  the  information,  I  wish 
to  place  on  record  a  partial  reply  to  O.  A.  C, 
who  upon  p.  93  of  the  first  x'olurae  of  the 
First  Series  of  *  N.  /t  Q..*  on  8  December, 
*  1849,  asked  for  information  about  Sir 
William  Godbold,  to  whose  memory  a  mural 
Tuootuaeat    still   exists    in  the    church    of 


Mendham,  Suffolk.  A  similar  inquiry  had 
been  made  in  TA«  Oentleman'a  Magazine  for 
July.  1842,  but  without  eliciting  any  reply 

TJie  monument  states  that  Sir  William  was 
of  illustrious  and  ancient  lineage,  had  made 
seven  journeys  into  Italy,  Greece,  Palestine, 
Arabia,  and  Persia  In  the  pursuit  of  litera 
tuns  and  grew  old  in  his  native  land,  dying 
in  London  in  April,  MDCXCinc. 

Up  to  the  present  no  reply  has.  I  beliave, 
been  forthcoming.  It  is  remarkable  that  no 
rocorda  Iiave  come  to  light  of  so  great  a 
traveller  at  a  period  when  it  was  no  easy 
matter  to  get  about  the  world. 

iS.  H.  A.  H.  in  his  book  upon  the  Hoartb 
Tax  in  Suffolk  considers  him  to  liave  been 
A  bogus  or  blunder  knight.  (He  was  charged 
for  ton  hearths  at  Mendham,  seven  at  West- 
hall,  and  three  at  Weybread.)  I  find,  how- 
ever, that  in  the  Allegations  of  Marriages  at 
Cant^-rbury,  when,  in  1669,  hf*  was  aln-iut  to 
wed  the  widow  of  the  Third  Sir  Nicholas 
Bacon,  ho  is  described  as  Sir  William  God- 
bold. One  would  hardly  think  that  upon 
such  an  occasion  any  honourable  man 
would  assimie  a  title  to  which  he  hod  no 
right,  nor  would  the  Bodleian  Library  with- 
out good  reason  describe  him  thus  in  its 
printed  catalogues  of  manuscripts,  as  it  dues 
in  several  places. 

I  am  indebted  to  that  library  for  the 
in  formation  contained  in  a  manuscript 
letter  which  I  transcribe  from  a  photo- 
graph ic  reproduction,  and  which  contains 
evidence  of  his  having  been  in  Italy  in  1654  :

clined to  consider  the  account  of  hie  various 
voyapiea  somewhat  mythical,  in  spit«  of  tlie 
mural  inscription  ;  but  since  it  partly  con- 
firms them,  I  hope  it  may  lead  to  further 
light  upon  his  travels.

Irish  Superstition  :  Boys  in  Petti- 
coats AND  Fairies. — Harper^n  Magazitw.  for 
May  contains  an  article  on  the  Aran  Islands. 
in  which  is  the  following  passage  : — 

"  Idttle  iKtys,  until  thoy  iiru  ten  or  eleven,  drtns 
in  long  petticoats  i  nobody  knows  why." 

Possibly  an  explanation  may  be  found  in  a 
paragraph  which  appeored  in  The  Hospital 
in  1905:— 

"  In  Connemara,  In  some  of  the  districts,  a 
uurse  has  mot  with  boys  of  twelve  and  fourteen  in 
potticottts.  Tho  moUu-re  insist  that  the  petticoat* 
ar*''  wum  to  prevent  the  fairies  from  talcing  their 
boys,  but  thn  C()mmun-«i'>nAt'  nurae  often  atiributea 
tho  cuBt<iin  to  motives  of  economy." 

Even  if  the  nurse's  explanation  (which 
aeems  somewhat  surprising  to  the  mere 
man)  were  correct  of  the  present  day,  it  ia 
evident  that  tho  belief  in  fairies  and  their 
habit  of  stealing  boys  must  have  existed  quite 
recently.  A  similar  superstition  seems  to 
exist  m  the  Far  East.  Thus  in  *  Tho 
World's  Children,'  bv  Menpes,  we  read  that  in 
China  the  mother  ol  a  family 

*•  Is  continunUj-  occupied  with  trying  to  deceive 
these  evil  spirits  ;  and  if  there  is  only  one  boy 
in  the  family,  and  several  Kirls,  sbe  will  cunningly 
change  their  clothing  and  their  mode  of  dress, 
putting  the  girl's  dress  on  the  Ijoy  and  tho  boy'a 
ou  the  Rirl,  so  that  if  the  spirits  do  inme  they 
may  tulce  one  of  the  Kirls  by  mistake." 

Headers  of  *  Kim '  may  now  call  to  mind 
how  the  Jat  relates  all  that  had  been  done 
to  cure  his  sick  child  : — 

"  We  ehan^red  Iiia  name  when  the  fever  came* 
Wo  put  hiiu  into  girl's  clothes," 

To  revert  to  Ireland.  A  man  who  statyed 
in  Galway  more  than  twenty  years  ago  told 
me  that  at  that  time  the  custom  in  question 
was  not  confined  to  Connemara,  as  he  used  to 
see  big  boys  in  petticoats  in  other  parts 
of  the  county  ;  he  had  not  inquired  tho 
reason  of  the  dress. 

It  would  be  interesting  to  know  if  there 
are  any  traces  of  this  superstition  in  other 
ports  of  the  United  Kingdom.  I  presume 
that  it  has  no  connexion  with  the  genesis  of 
the  Highland  kilt.  G.  H.  WmxE.

"Vote  early  axd  vote  often." — This 
expression  occurs  in  1858.  Mr.  W.  P. 
Miles  of  South  Carolina  Haid  in  the  House  of 
Reproaontativos  on  31  March  : —

justly  considered  one  of  the  brightest  centore  of 
int«llig«nce  and  rednement,  banuers  were  openly

"Obsess'*:  "Obsession." — This  is  nn 
did  dictionary  word,  obsolete*  for  centuries, 
but  I  venture  to  doubt  whether  it  was  ever 
used  by  Shakespeare,  Milton,  Scott,  Thacke- 
ray, or  Dickens.  Modem  journalists  have 
got  hold  of  it,  and  it  is  now  finding  it«  way 
into  serial  fiction.  One  cannot  resist  a 
feeling  of  repugnaneo  whenever  it  occurs, 
OS  at  on  unnecessary,  ostentatious,  and 
impertinent  intruder.  E.  M.

"  Dispense  Bar.'* — I  note  that  one  of 
the  compartments  in  a  Brigliton  itotel  is 
labelled  "  Dispense  Bar,"  and  presmnably 
it  is  used  for  service  to  the  waiters.  The 
name,  however,  is  a  Rtriking  instance  of 
survival,  for  one  of  tlie  three  meanings  of 
"  disuonso  "  as  a  substantive  given  in  the 
'N.E.D.'  is  ''A  place  where  pro'xnsiona  are 
kept  ;  a  storeroom,  ]>antry,  or  (?eUar  "  ;  and 
an  ilhiHtnitive  quotation  of  1622  mentions 
"a  little  Dispense,  or  Pantrie.'*

Dalmatian  Night  Spectres. — Popular 
imagination  in  Croatia  and  the  neightxnur- 
ing  country  of  Dalmatia  has  evolved  a  series 
of  nocturnal  monsters  with  singular  names. 
I  do  not  remember  hearing  of  the  following, 
which  I  have  just  come  across  in  a  Ser\'iftn 
poi$sage  in  a  Slavonic  reading-book.  Some 
of  them  suggest  tho  '  Arabian  Nighte.' 

The  orcho  marin  ia  a  sea-monster,  at  home 
on  land,  which  can  assume  any  shope  at 
wilU  attain  a  huge  size,  and  travel  at  great 
speed.  The  mt>ra  is  a  fearsome  creature 
which  can  assume  any  shape,  and  goes 
about  at  night  killing  the  servants.  The 
7fia.ninyovo  resembles  the  orcho  marin.  The 
^nilfitch  is  a  fatuiliur  spectre.  The  tentaima 
frightens  children,  ana  haunts  dark  spots.

They  can  change  shape,  and  generally  re- 
semble ragamuAina  with  sacks  on  their 
Hhoulders.  going  round  at  night  to  steal 
grapes.  The  last  name  recalls  the  better- 
known  vourdalak,  vampire  (e.g.,  in  A.  S. 
Pushkin's  songs  of  the  Southern  Slavs.), 
discussed  long  ago  in  '  N.  &  Q.'

of  a  aeries  of  lettera.  The  passages  wo 
are  about  to  quote  from  vol.  ii.  occur  in  a 
letter  dated  8  November,  1787.  They 
mdicaie  that  some  Portuguese  believed  that 
these  birds  had  a  nuraculou&ly  prolonged 
ttSstence,  and  that  they  were  deeply 
Tomted  by  every  one.  Can  any  one  point 
Ottt  when  they  were  first  introduced  into  the 
Cfttbedral  of  Lisbon,  and  how  long  their 
<fe*oendant«  remained  there  ?  So  many 
ckanges  have  hap|>ened  between  the  period 
wfaeo  Beckford  wrote  and  to-day  that  it  in

See  Oldham's  *  Poetical  Works,'  edited  by

explains  '*  voider  "  aa  *'  tho  basket,  or  tray,

Macaulay.  *  History,'  i.  160,  161  (Popular 
Edition),  refers  to  The  Taller,  Nos.  265,  268. 
He  is  wrong,  by  the  way,  in  saj'ing  (at  the 
same  place)  that  Corusodes  in  Swift's  '  Essay 
on  the  Pates  of  Clergymen  '  has  to  take  up 
with  a  cast-off  mistress.  Swift  says  :  **  He 
married  a  Citiswin'a  widow,  who  taught  him 
to  put  out  small  suma  at  ten  per  cent."

The  alleged  custom  of  tho  clergy  retiring 
before  the  sweets  has  no  recondite  signi- 
ficance, and  has  nothincto  do  with  bishops 
and  archbishops,  who,  as  Thackeray  elsewhere 
aays,  used  to  oe  nott^  for  the  excellence  of 
their  dinners.  Macaulay  alleges  the  custom, 
and  gives  three  authorities  in  support  of  liis 
8tat«?mont — Earhard,  Oldham,  and  The 
TaUer.  The  passages  clearly  prove  that 
some  private  chaplains  had  to  retire  before 
the  sweet*,  and  Macaulay,  more  suo,  by  a 
brilliant  leap  from  the  particular  to  "the 
gerneral,  predie-ates  the  custom  of  all  clergy. 
But  the  custom,  such  as  it  was,  had  no 
mystic  significance.     It  was  pure  stinginess.

BaI)DEI.ey.  quoting  from  a  foreign  journal 

tiie  statement  that  horses  were  rare  among 

the  pre«Mohanunedan  Arabs,  and  that  the 

jwnel  was  their  chief  means  of  locomotion, 

that  this  would  involve  the  conclusion 

battles  among  the  tribes  were  fought 

on    foot    or    on    camel-back. 

iW   is   simple,   and   is   given    by  Bir 

LysU    in    the   Introduction    to    his 

tions  of  Ancient  Arabian  Poetry,' 

When  men  went  on  an  expedition, 

rode  camels,  and  led  their  mnres  ftlong- 

ttil  they  arrived  at  the  place  of  action, 

they  mounted  tlie  latter.     There  are 

of  pre-Islamitic  times  in  which 

teference   is   not   made   to    the   war- 

For   instance,   in   the   great   war  of 

which    took  place  some  seventy 

fore  Mohaanmed'a   birth,   when   the 

the  heroic  Al-Harith  %va8  kindled  by 

^h  of  his  aon  Bujair,  he  ot  once  gave 

to  prepare  for  war,  and  cried  out ; — 

by  my  tent  An-Na'amah,  my  war-marft — 
ig  waa  War  barrea.  now  fruitful  her  womb. 

same  custom  prevails  to  this  day  in 

kia,  where  many  of  the  customs  of  the 

Ifliamitic  Semites  survive,  the  only 

ice   being  that  the   mulo  is  used  for 

ridhm  to  tlie  scene  of  war,  instead  of  the 

mamL    Kvery  warrior  has  his  charger  led 

aloontdoa   to  be  mounted  at  the  first  sign 

of  tSe   enemy.     Wlien    travelling    througli 

AbjTMi&ia  Dimny  years  ago.  my  companions 

sod  I  were  compelled  to  follow  this  custom, 

tbe  horses  which  were  presented  to  us  by 


King  Theodore  being  never  used  on  the 
march,  but  only  for  an  evening  ride  after  we 
had  reached  our  tamp. 

The  horse,  as  Sir  Charles  LyaJl  points  out, 
was  a  rare  and  coetly  posseseion  among  the 
early  Arabs,  who  employed  it  not  only  for 
military  purposes,  but  also  for  their  favourite 
pastime  of  horse-racing.  This  did  not 
cease  with  Al-lslam,  although  the  general 
prohibition  against  games  of  chance  uttered 
by  the  Prophet  was  unfavourable  to  its 
continuance.  The  horses  were  run,  as  at 
Rome  in  the  Corso,  without  riders  ;  tJie 
usual  number  was  ten,  though  matches  were 
sometimes  made  up  (as  in  the  famous  race  of 
DaJiis  and  Al-Ghabra,  which  gave  rise  to  a 
desolating  war)  with  smaller  numbers  ;  and 
the  ten  horses  received  special  names  accord- 
ing to  the  order  in  which  they  came  in 
(Lyall,  o.c,  p.  lU).  W.  F.  Pbideaux. 

Youatt — I  know  not  on  what  authority — 
states  that  among  the  articles  exported  from 
Egj'pt  to  Arabia  at  the  end  of  the  second 
century  were  horses  ;  also,  that  in  the  fourth 
centiu-y  200  Cappadocian  horses  were  sent 
by  a  Roman  emperor  as  the  most  acceptable 
present  he  could  offer  to  a  powerful  pnnce  of 
Arabia.  Youatt  f  iu-t)ier  adds  that  as  late  as 
the  seventh  century  the  Arabs  had  few 
horses,  and  those  of  little  value. 

CiALFRlD  K.  CONOBEVE. 
VermiUon,  Alberta,  Canada. 

"Denizek"  :  " Foreign"  (11  S.  i.  506). 
— The  assumption  by  Pbof.  Skeat  and  tlio 
*  N.E.D.'  that  *'  denizen "  represents  L. 
de-inlusj  Anglo-French  dMnz  (modem  Fr. 
dans)t  seems  to  me  untenable.  The  forms 
deitviein,  demien,  point  to  a  very  different 
source.  In  the  Occitauian  dialects  of 
Southern  France  there  are  deinicha,  d^inia, 
variants  from  the  Provencal  form  of  the  verb 
deenisa^  to  leave  the  nest,  to  leave  one's 
coimtry  ;  and  se  dcanisa,  se  denia,  is  to 
cliange  nests.  It  is  probable  that  desni^a 
was  originally  de^niza,  since  in  the  sixteenth 
century  *'nest"  was  nizai  in  the  literary 
language  of  Toulouse. 

The  *N.E.D.'  under  the  verb  "denize/* 
to  make  a  denizen,  says  it  '*  probably  repre- 
sents an  A  Fr.  denizer  ;  in  med.  (Anglo-)  L. 
denizdre"  But  the  clue,  obvious  to  any  one 
familiar  with  Provencal,  is  lost,  and  it  is

equivalent  sense  of  Prov.  ee  dMnisa  and  of 
Or.  meioikeo,  *'  Denizen  "  is  the  equivalent 
of  Fr.  miUque  and  of  Or.  metoikos,  aa  dis- 
tln^uished  from  citizen  and  from  foreigner. 

The  final  n  of  '*  denizen,"  instead  of  in- 
fluencing that  of  *' citizen/*  as  has  been 
suggested,  was  more  probably  influenced  by 
the  ending  of  the  latter  word,  often 
associated  with  it.  as  in  '*  citizen  or  denyson  *' 
(1467)  ;  and  the  common  use  of  "  denizen  " 
as  a  verb,  according  to  the  custom  of  our 
langtiage,  tends  to  show  that  *'  to  denize  " 
was  the  originally  introduced  word,  whence 
"  denizen,"  first  as  a  noun,  then  as  a  verb. 
If  the  word  had  come  in  as  a  noun,  the  verb 
would  have  been  formed  from  it  as  "  deny- 
senize."  corresponding  to  "citizcnize'*  (1693). 

While  the  *  N.E.D.*  under  "•  denizen  "  says 
''cf.  foreign,  forein."  the  conference  is  only 
in  regard  to  the  termination  ein.  And  yet 
it  is  so  probable  that  "  foreign  "  ia  a  word 
out  of  the  same  nest  as  **  denizen  "  that  I 
venture  to  add  the  evidence  it  affords  to  that 
which  I  hax'e  brouglit  forward  in  regard  to  the 
latter  word.  The  'K.E.D.'  cannot  go  back 
furtlier  than  Mid.  L.  foraneua^  O.F.  forain, 
which  it  derives  from  L.  foras^  out  of  doors, 
as  it  derives  *' denizen'*  from  (de-)  tn/utf, 
indoors.  I  consider  that  both  these  deriva- 
tions ore  wrong,  and  that  both  words  have 
a  common  source  in  L.  nid.u«,  Prov.  nizalt 
nU*  Just  as  '* denizen'*  is  derived  from 
demisa,  to  change  nests,  so  ''foreign"  is 
derived  from  foroni^a^  to  leave  the  neat ; 
whence  en/oronwa,  to  turn  out  of  the  nest ; 
en/oumiau,  a  fledgeling  taken  from  the  nest :

Chapel  le  Frith  (11  S.  ii.  9).— I  Btill 
think  that,  in  this  name  as  in  others,  le 
represents  the  Anglo-French  /«,  i.e.  *'  near.*' 


which  gives  excellent  sense.  Bat  it  cannot 
be  denied  that,  at  a  somewhat  early  period, 
it  was  written  Chapel  en  le  Frith,  i.e..  Chapel 
in  the  frith,  by  scribes  who  did  not  know  that 
lea  was  a  preposition. 

As  to  frith,  especially  used  of  a  coppice  or 
wood  with  a  fence  round  it,  though  it  had 
other  senses  also,  it  can  be  found  in  Todd's 
*  Johnson.'  or  any  common  dictionary  of 
value.  It  is  fully  eikplained  in  ^  N.K.D.,' 
and  there  is  an  excellent  article  on  all  thv 
provincial  uses  of  it,  and  its  varieties  of 
spelling,  in  the  '  E.D.D.*  also.  Why  it  is 
that  the  *  English  Dialect  Dictionary '  still 
remains  so  unknown  is  a  puzzle  to  me. 
There  was  once  a  great  clamour  that  the  work 
ought  to  bo  done  ;  and  now  that  it  13  done, 
it  18  not  much  consulted.  But  the  fullness  of 
its  information  is  wonderful.  It  duly  gives, 
not  only  the  Devon  and  Cornwall  vraitK 
but  the  Glouc,  Som.,  and  Devon  vrtath  or 
vreatJic^  the  N,  Devon  vreeth,  the  Devon

and  the  verb  in  four.  The  derivatives

his  total  service  for  these  wards  amounted 


to  less  than  eight  years  (Dec.,  1655,  to  Sept.,

It  is  always  difficult  to  deal  with  Northern 

mes*.   owing  to  the  lack  of  pre-Conquest 

ruments.      The  8i*elling  '*  Hewortli  iuxta 

"    occurs    in    the     Iiiquisitiones    post 

-in  the  twentieth  year  of  Edward  I, 

qiiot^  Heworth,  and  refers  us  to 

•th,    which   is  an   unrelated   word,    as 

own   quotations  show.     Hewortlj   is  not 

I,  for  the  reason  that  htw  differs  from 

from  daw  or  as  pew  from  paw.', 

Fanientally.     In    the   D.B.    spelling 

r«iuarde"   we  plainly  see  tliat  the  prefix 

A.-S.    hlwa,    **ft    doniCHtic,''    which 

ly  became  /wru«,  once  a  common  word, 

l^angland^  Chaucer,  and  flower,  and 

ncplain^  in  the  *XE.D/     Tlie  suffix 

ia  correttiy  derived  at  11  S.  i.  458  from 

•8.    weorihig  ;     but    w€orthi(j   itself   i» 

?tly  derived,  at   the   same"  reference-, 

an  imaginary  A.-S.  wdrian,  to  defend, 

true   form    being   warian   {with    the   a 

with  wliich  weorihig  is  only  remotely 


It  would  appear,  therefore,  that  Heworth 
meant,  originally,  a  fann  or  homestead 
farmed  by  a  fanning-man  or  farming-men, 
I  need  not  copy  out  all  that  the  *  N  E.D.' 
says  about  /i€M«,         Walteb  W.  Skeat. 

Hewortb,  which  1  knew  fifty  years  ago, 
appeared  in  seventecsnth-century  books  as 
Heyworth.  The  Yorkshire  gentry  met 
Charles  I.  there,  and  presented  a  petition 
to  him.  Many  modem  writers  in  deacribing 
this  incident  repeat  the  form  **  Hej^rorth, 
without  inquiry,  and  I  have  been  asked,  as 
a  Yorkshireman,  to  tell  where  the  place  is. 
See.  e.g.,  *  D.X.D.,'  x-vnii.  141  b.  In  like 
manner  Hedon  ia  disguised  under  the  un- 
authorized spelling  "Heydon"  (' D.N.B.,' 
Ix.  416  a).  W.  C.  B. 

The  name  of  this  village  appears  in  the 
Conqueror's  survey  as  '*Hewarde"  and 
"  Heworde.'*  It  is  not  derived,  like  Fingall  in 
the  valley  of  the  Vre,  from  the  name  of  a 
sometime  iSaxon  possessor,  for  the  pit'tix 
precludes  the  assumption  that  the  nnuio 
Haward  or  Hawart,  borne  by  the  thegn 
of  Stokesloy,  might  be  the  same  nanie. 
The  prefix  in  Heworth  may  represent  a 
I>ersonal  name  or  the  sense  of  a  fence  or 
hedge,  as  applied  to  a  homestead,  A.-S. 
tt'cort/ny,  a  protected  place,  if  this  supposi- 
tion is  correct,  the  meaning  will  be  '*a 
place  protected  by  a  hedge.  *

Donne's  PoEMfl  (11  S.  ii .  7 ). — Prof. 
Oriebson  is  no  doubt  acquainted  with 
the  Donne  MSS.  in  the  Dyoe  Collection  at 
South  Kensington.  Several  of  Donne's 
printed  books  are  also  noted  in  the  Cata- 
logue, but  none,  I  fear,  quite  corresponding 
to  those  inquired  after. 

The  library  of  the  Rev.  T.  R.  OTlahertie 
was  sold  by  Messrs.  Sotheby  &  Co.  on 
14  January',  1896.  It  included  a  number  of 
Donne's  works,  MS.  as  well  as  printed.  The 
eRrlie.st  dated  work  pold,  '  Peeudo-Martyr,' 
first  etlition,  1610.  was  acquired  by  Mr. 
Pickering.  The  other  lots  included  'Prune 
and  Prose  Paradoxes  '  (with  poems  by  Dunne 
and  others),  MSS.  of  date  1620  :  *  Poems,' 
first  edition,  dated  1633.  with  MS.  additions  ; 
and  a  contemporary  MS.  of  the  poems  **  con- 
taining considerable  variations  from  the 
printed  texts,"  These  were  all  purchaged 
by  Ml*.  Quaritch.  A  copy  of  the  *  Five 
Satyr^s,'  in  MS.  written  by  John  Cave,  1620, 
became  the  property  of  Mr.  Catton.  The 
other  Donne  entries,  poetry  and  prose,  were 
of  a  later  date.

Ml'rray  (US.  ii.  28).— Rt'lationahipa  men- 
(ioned  in  wills  must  not  be  construed  too 
literally.  A  "  brother  "  may  lje  a  brother-in- 
jaw.  a  "  daughter "  a  step-daughter,  u 
"  cousin  "  a  remote  kinsman.  In  making  a 
tentative  tabulation  of  the  particulars  given 
by  G.  v.  B.  I  did  not  hesitate  to  place 
lattice  Loftus  as  a  stepdaughter  of  Dame 
Elizabeth  Irwin.  My  ex|>erimontaI  placing 
was  justified  when  I  afterwards  found  the 
marriage  of  "Mr.  Dudley  Loftus,  Doctor  of 
ye  Law,  and  ye  Lady"  Elizabeth  Ervin," 
U  May,  1693,  at  St.  John's,  Dublin.  If 
Dome  Elizabeth  was  originally  a  Murray, 
she  must  have  married  four  times  ;  lat.  Sir 
(T  John)  Irwin;  2nd,  in  1693,  Dr.  Dudly 
Loftus,  who  hod  preWously  married  Prances 
Nangle,  by  whom  he  had  a  daughter  Lettice 
Loftus  ;  3rd,  Mr.  Broughlon  :  4th,  in  1720, 
Walter  Bunbury.  Tliis  merely  explains  how 
Lettice  Loftus  was  *' daughter-in-law  "  to 
Dame  Elizabeth  Irwin. 

There  are  hvmdreds  of  knights  not  included 
in  Dr.  Shaw's  work.     A  John  Irvin,  knight. 


died  abroad  in  1705  ;  his  inventor^'  is  at 
Dubhn.  This,  naturally,  could  not  be  the 
husband  of  the  much-married  Elizabeth,  for 
she  was  already  Dame  Elizabeth  Er\*in  when 
she  married  Dr.  Loftua  in  1603  ;  but  he  is  not 
in  Dr.  Shaw*s  list. 

In  wills  I  have  come  across  knights  men* 
tioned  as  baronets,  and  unkm'ghted  indi- 
viduals mentioned  as  knights.  Perhaps 
there  is  still  a  chance  for  "  Sir  John  Murray.*'

AxDRONicuB  Lascaris  :  Mrsic  to  A&is- 
TOPHANE9  (11  S.  ii.  7). — Two  noble  Greeks 
named  Lascaris,  who  may  have  been 
brothers,  and  were  certainly  closely  related. 
took  refuge  in  Italj'  after  the  capture  of 
Constantinople  by  the  Turks  in  14o3.  One 
of  them,  named  Constantine,  went  to  Milan. 
tlience  to  Rome»  next  to  Naples,  and  finally 
settled  at  Messina,  where  he  died  about 
1600.  In  1493  he  bequeathed  hi^  library  to 
Messina,  part  of  which  gift  was  niterworda 
carried  away  by  the  Spaniards,  and  is  now 
in  the  Escorial.  near  Madrid. 

The  other  Laftcaris,  Andrew  John  by  nain«^ 
(frequently  mentioned  as  John  merely),  was 
probably  the  person  referred  to  in  the 
query.  He  took  up  his  abode  at  Florence, 
and  was  employed  by  Lorenzo  de*  Medici 
to  ^^s^t  Greece  and  purchase  certain  valuable 
manuscripts.  This  ooxnznission  he  executed 
some  ti  me  preWous  to  1494.  The  MS- 
mentioned  by  Mr.  Joknson  Walkeb  was 
in  all  Ukelihood  one  of  those  acquired  for  his 
employer  by  Andrew  John  Lascaris.  In 
1494  he  entered  the  service  of  Louis  Xll. 
of  France,  who  scut  him  as  bis  envoy  to

POLL-BOOICS    OP    THE     ClTY    Of    LoypoN 

(lis.  ii.  29). — I  believe  I  am  right  in  saying 
that  no  poll-books  for  any  of  the  years  named 
in  Mb.  Gould's  list  were  ever  pviblisbed.  and 
it  is  hardly  likely  that  copies  of  these  polls  in 
MS.  are  accessible  anywhere.  With  regard 
to  five  of  Mr.  GotruS's  dates  (1742,  1758. 
1770,  1817.  1830)  his  question  is  superfluous, 
inasmuch  as  the  elections  in  those  years  were 
uncontested,  and  consequently  there  were  no 
polls. 

In  my  *  Aldermen  of  London  '  {pp.  261-07)

for  the  City  of  London  than  have  been

according  to  the  records  at  Chelsea  Hospital,

This  is  the  ninth  volume  of  '  The  Political  History

Ueginald   L.   PooU-.  a  a^rii-a  whirh   by  this  time

Abridged  by  J.  Jnhnstone,  and  revised  and 
enlarged  by  Dr.  Longmuir,  With  Supplement* 
tv)  which  is  prefixed  an  Introduction,  by  W.  M. 
Metcalfe,  D.D.  (PaiBley,  Alex.  Gardner.) 
This  is  a  large  and  comitrehensive  repertory  of 
the  Scottish  l^mgue  wliicb  we  Iiave  already 
pntflted  by  e<insulling.  At  the  name  time,  the 
work  of  Jarnieson  which  forms  tile  first  part  losoB 
in  interest  by  its  !>revity.  Tlie  addition  of 
examples  of  the  words  with  their  context  serves 
to  fix  usagL>s  in  one's  meujory  which  are  n.\}i  to  he 
rorgttttcn  when  one  has  only  a  bnre  explanation 
and  no  more.  In  this  way  the  book  compares 
unfavourably  with  such  a  work  as  (.'harlea 
Mackny's  '  Dictionary  of  I^owland  Scotch  ' 
(1888).  which  gives,  for  instance,  to  illustrate 
"  toom  "  =  cmpty.  quotations  from  Allan  Rnmsay. 
Bums,  Dean  Ronisay  (2),  Donald  Cargill.  and 
James  Telfer. 

On  this  scale,  however,  the  book  would  outrun 
the  proportions  of  a  single  volume  ;  as  it  is.  the 
flrst  part  extends  to  633  pages  of  text,  apart  from 
introductory  matter,  while  the  Second  Part  has 
48  pages  of 'intmduction.  and  2(13  of  Supplement, 
in  which  further  w'l-cts  nre  added.  Dr.  Metcnlfe, 
who  Ls  responsible  for  this  section,  Is  abreast  of  the 
ficientiilc  scholarship  which  has  cleared  up  many 
things,  and  gives  an  excellent  selection  of  speci- 
mens itf  Middle  Scots.  HiA  list  of  wonls  is 
fortifietl  by  n-ferences  to  thr  E.E.T..S.,  .S.T.S., 
and  H.B.R.S.,  and  various  published  records  due 
to  the  energy  of  recent  scholars.  A  main  source 
of  this  part  of  the  book  is  the  four-volume  edition 
of  Jarnieson,  and  Mr-  Donaldson's  fifth  vnlunie, 
whii'h  fonns  a  supplement  to  the  same.  Here, 
too.  illustrative  passages  have  been  hut  sparingly 
uaed  for  want  of  space.  The  whole  forms  a  very 
useful  book  for  the  elucidation  of  words  which, 
though  in  many  cases  fairly  impn»s»ed  on  literary 
language,  arc  a  puzzle  to  the  Suuthroo.

S.  JOSEPH,  SCULPTOR. 

following  liHt  has  come  into  my  hands 

lugh    granddaughters    of    the    sculptor. 

(ust^.   Ukt«   portraits,   probably  easily  lo»e 

ir  attribution,  and  it  is  well  to  have  them 

'i.     It  will  also  be  ufielul  a«  a 

t:^,  although  the  present  loca- 

^ii<^.     There  are  a  number  of  busts 

Scottish  Xatiomil  Portrait  (lallery,  and 

in  tht3  Law  Courts  at  Edinburgh. 

Kngland    the    best-known      work    of 

is   the  delightful   statue  of  Willwr- 

in    Westminster    Abbey,    of    which 

Brock.  R.A„  says  :    "  The  fineness 

beauty   of   this  masterpiece   would   bo 

to  surpass  in  any  age."   The  original 

»tition  plaster  sketch  tor  this  is  still  in 

Ito bands  of  the  family. 

Tto  is  by  no  m**an«  a  complete  list  of  the 

•nilptor's    works*    but    presunmbly  only  of 

time  of  w^iich  the  plaster  casta  were  in  his 

hsads  at  the  time. 

Joseph  was  a  pupil  of  FlaKuian.  and  did 

kanicb  of  the  work  of  the   famous  Achilles 

^ihidd.     He  was   a   friend   of   Walter   Seott 

•od  the  Edinburgh  literary  set  of  the  day. 


and  was  an  original  member  of  the  Soottitrb 
Boy&l  Academy.  He  came  to  London  about 
1830  and  was  a  favourite  in  artistic  ond 
literary  circles.  It  may  be  worth  reoordin^ 
here  that  his  daughter  Emily  (afterward.-* 
Mrs.  Cieo.  T,  Tweed  of  Honiton).  who 
died  in  1904,  was  the  model  from  whom 
Uwins  painted  the  well-known  *  Chapeau  de 
Brigand  '  now  in  the  National  GaUery  or 
on  loan.

DANTELAXA. 

I.  *Inf.'  svii.  21:— 

E  come  lA  tra  li  TedoscM  lurcfai. 
It  is  doubtful  whether  this  hostile  line  merit* 
the  emphasis  of  comment.  Many  treat  it 
with  the  rebuke  of  silence.  Lombardi 
contents  himself  with  referring  to  Tacitufi*6 
*  De  Mor.  Germ.,'  and  observing  : — 

"  E  da  riflettersi,  cho  i  noetri  padri  daTsd 
qucsto  epiteto  Bcmpre  in  dispreazo." 

And  so  Dante  meant  it,  whethor  we  renoer 
lurchi  as  "greedy  German  boor"  (Cary). 
"  cuK/Jing  Germans  "  (Tomiinson),  **  fuU- 
fed  Germans "  (Piumptre),  or  **  gobbling 
Get-mans  "  (Ford).  But  why  and  whence 
this  vfnomous  expression  ?  Is  it  open  to 
explanation  or  attenuation  ?  The  possi- 
biUty  of  either  alternative  is  my  only  warrant 
for  dealing  with  it  here.  Dean  Plumptre's 
view  is  : — 

"  The  poet's  Ideal  imperialimn  was  obviously 
compatible  with  a  strong  dislike  to  the  Teuton 
as  such.  For  the  character  given  to  OenuaoB 
enmp.  Shakesp.,  '  Merch.  of  Ven.,'  I.  H." 

The  reference  (1.  82)  runs  thus  : — 

JVer.  Uo»-    like    you    thn    young   German,    the 

Duke  of  Saxony's  nephew  ? 

Por,  Ver>*  vilely  in  the  morning,  when  he  is 

sober,  and  most  vilely  la  the  afternoon,  when  he 

Is  drunk. 

The  comparison  is  not  to  the  credit  of 
either  poet,  though  probably  both  expree* 
sions  merelj'  reflect  biased  Italian  opinioa 
in  their  respective  fieriodft  (1300,  1595).  But 
neither  charge  deserxed  such  brutal  im- 
mortality. Reduced  to  their  elemental 
dimensions,  the  antipathy  of  the  untravellcd 
Shakespeare  and  that  of  the  more  ex]>ericnoe<l 
Dantee\identlyalikeoriginutedinafalJacJous 
ab  utio  disce  omties  argument.  Of  the  Jatt^ 
8cartaxzini  says,  commenting  on  this 
line  : — 

"  Dante  non  conosreva  per  ftwentnra  che 
tjuei  Tedeschi  mandati  da  Manfrcdi  in  »oCGor«o 
del  fuonisciti  Fiorentini  c  che  si  laaciaronep 
ubbriacare  da  Farinata  degh  Uberti.*' 

Possibly  also  the  poet  beheld  instancoe  of 
inebriety  amongst  the  dweUers  by  tlie 
Rhine  and  Danube  ;  more  probably  atiU  our 
own  jjoet's  sohtary  instance  was  gleaned 
from  hearsay.  But  whencever  their  sources 
of  information,  neither  "ideal  imperialism," 
nor  national  disgust,  nor  personal  experi- 
ence, still  loss  mere  hearsay,  justified  either 
of  them  in  branding  to  j^osterity  an  entire 
nation  with  the  shortconung!?  of  a  few  of  its 
representatives.  It  is  ojien  to  debate  whotlier 
the  England  and  Italy  of  tlieir  epochs  could 
not  be  similarly  stigmatized.

This  passage  is  mainly  remarkable  for  a  fact 
thus  stated  by  Dean  Plumptre  : — 

"  Kor  tlir  first  lime  we  h&ve,  as  it  were,  u

But   the   identity   of  this   Vitaliano   ia  less 

pa.sy  to  determine.  Some  commentators,, 
with  more  assuranoe  than  acourncy.  boldly 
proclnim  him  to  be  Vitaliano  del  Dente,. 
Saye  Scartazzini  : —

The  great  commentator  adds  a  humorous 
tiig  to  his  note:  "Che  tutti  gli  anticht 
abbiano  preso  un  grancliio  7 "  Is  this 
e.xpression  ("caught  a  crab")  equivalent 
to  our  "  finding  a  mare's  neat  "  T 

Dean  Plumptre  confidently  sides  with 
Morpurgo  : — 

"  He  is  irientifl<*d  with  a  VitnlJHtin  del  VitaJinni 
of  Padua,  who6i_>  usury  wn»  nutoHous,  and  of

fiA  the  ureat  scholastic  poet  who  hiul  wHtten  in 
Italian. 

The  Rev.  H.  F.  Tozer  (' Engb'sh  Com- 
mentary on  the  "  D.  C."')  is  more  wary, 
and  wisely  obseries  : — 

**  Vitaliano  :  he  was  still  alive,  bat  as  to  who 
he  wii«  there  are  eonllicting  v-iews," 

His  interpretation,  however,  of  "sinistro,*' 
"  as  being  the  worse  of  the  two."  seems  to 
me  to  be  lees  wise,  although  he  has  Scartaz- 
zini*8  supiwrt  for  it — "i>erchd  niii  colpevole 
di  me.'^  Surely  "  sinistro  Banco "  has 
neither  an  heraldic  nor  an  ethical  significa- 
tion, and  can  only  meaji  what  the  words 
naturally  and  grammatically  imply — "  left  " 
side  or  hand,  which,  quahfied  by  "mio/* 
would  ob\-iou8ly  attach  the  greater  culpa- 
bility to  the  speaker  (conjecturally,  from 
the  device — a  sow  azure  on  field  argent- — 
of  his  family,  Reginald  ScroWgni,  "  usuraio  • 
famigerato,'*  says  Scartazzini).  And  this 
is  further  confirmed  if,  as  has  apparently 
been  done,  "  sinistro  "  is  taken  as  an  equi- 
valent to  our  "  sinister,*'  which  signifies 
bad.  unlucky,  unjust,  unfair,  per\'er8e,  a&i 
well  as  "left/'

RICILAJID  SAKE,  BOOKSELLER. 

There  are  comparatively  few  biographies  of 
booksellers,  and  there  is  certainly  no 
Adequate  history  of  the  Kngb'nh  book-trade. 
It  may  therefore  not  be  without  interest 
to  set  down  some  notes  about  a  worthy 
bookseller  of  tho  eighteenth  century.  He  is 
not  mentioned  by  Timperley.  His  fimeral 
sermon  was  preached  by  a  man  of  distinction. 
Dr.  George  Stanhope,  Dean  of  Canterbury. 
It  is  from  this  sermon  that  the  following 
particulars  are  taken.  The  Dean's  text  was 
taken  from  Psalm  cvii.  30-31.  After  speak- 
ing of  his  more  than  thirty  years'  acquaint- 
ance with  Sare,  ho  continued  : — 

'*  HU  Descent  wng  from  the  Clergy  ;  to  which 
Order  hla  whole  Cliaract«r  and  Couduct  was  not 
■ooly  suitable,  but  an  Onifiment  And  a  Ulessing. 
Fnr  he  bnth  helieved,  nnd  lived,  aa  became  one 
so  bom  and  bred  ;  and  was  a  tnie  eon  of  the 
Christino  in  General,  and  nf  the  Church  of  Eng* 
Qand  in  particular.  And  Thie.  nut  from  Fashion, 
or  Educ/ition,  or  Interest  only  ;  but  upon  Principle, 
and  Judgment,  and  6uch  well  weighed  CoD\ic- 
tjnn,  aa  enabled  hitn  with  ^reat  ifeadineas,  to 
>fivo  an  nni*wer,  liB  St.  Petvr  cxhort«,to  every  one 
that  should  ask  him  a  Keajiuu  of  the  Hope  that 
WA8  in  him. 

"  Ills  Knowledge  of  Boolca  and  Hon,  the 
Candour  and  Ingenuity  nf  his  Temper,  tho  obllg- 
ilug  Maiint-r  of  his  Behaviour,  and  the  grateful] 
Acltnt^wledgraenta  of  any  Favours  and  Bt^neflta 
received,  did  indeed  long  time  since,  effectuiilly 
recommend  liim,  not  only  to  the  Countenance  and 
Oonvemation,  but  al«w»  to  the  FricndBhip  umd 
«pecial  KegiirdH  (.tf  many  Persona,  eminent  both 
in  Post  and  Learning. 

•'  Nor  ought  I  to  omit,  that  T  scarce  ever  heard 
hifl  Nome, come  out  of  the  mouth  o1  our  present 
moat  Koi'crend  i'rimatc.  without  being  honum-'d 
l>y  some  Epithet,  which  spoke  Aflectiua,  and 
Efetcem  for  him. 

#-  "  His  Fortune,  like  most  of  Theirs  who  are  Sons 
of  Our  <.>nipr,  wan  originally  very  moderate  ;    Hut 

gven  him  by  his  Father,  with  this  comfortable 
eclarntion  ;  that  he  might  depend  upon  that 
little  wearing  like  Iron,  since  there  was  not  one 
dishoDost  Penny  in  it.  So  can:'fully  had  that 
Maxim  of  the  Pfinlmifit,  been  inBtill'd  into  this  Son  ; 
a  small  Thing  ttut  the  Kightccus  hath,  is  better 
than  great  Riches  of  the  ungodly.  As  that  Baying 
nf  the  good  old  Man  mode  great  Impression,  so. 
he  told  me.  the  Experience  which  Verify'd  it, 
made  continually  greater ;  and  confirmed  him 
more  and  more  in  his  gooil  Purposes,  of  tiikingthe 
'Same  honest  Course  tj^>  insure  a  blessing,  upon 
whatsoever  Addition  to  those  slender  Beginnings, 
*the  kind  Providence  of  God  should  enable  him 
to  make. 


"How  constant  he  was  to  this  Rfei^tlution,

Thomas  PERry.  Prior  of  Holy  Trlnjty,. 
Aldijate.  —  In  the  London  volume  of  the 
Victoria  County  Histories,  p.  471,  there  ia 
an  error  which  (by  implication)  impugns  my 
own  accuracy,  and  which  is  a  striking  illus- 
tration of  the  importance  to  young  authors 
(and  indeed  to  *'old  hands"  also)  of  the 
wlvice  "always  verify  your  references." 

In  my  *  Aldormon  of  London,'  p.  418,  I 
have  stated  that  Percy  was  Prior  of  Holy 
Trinity  (in  succeesiofi  to  Newton,  wlio  had 
boen  elected  on  the  death  of  Chamock  in 
1505)  from  October.  1506.  till  (his  death  inlb 
1512.  bein^  succeeded  by  Bradwoll.  That 
statement  ts  accurate,  and  can  be  verified 
by  reference  to  the  patents  at  the  Becord 
Office. 

Miss  Reddan,  who  contributes  to  this 
voUmie  of  the  C'oimty  History  the  article  on 
the  religious  houses,  in  wliich  Holy  Trinity 
is  included,  says  that  "  Percy  was  not  Prior 
in  1506  nor  in  1509.  though  he  may  have 
been  reinstated  before  his  death  in  1512," 
referring  in  foot-notes  to  (I)  Lctlera  and 
Papers  Henry  VIII.  xvi.  503  (15),  and  (2> 
Ancient  Dewis,  Public  Record  Office.  A 
]773»  as  authorities  for  her  statement. 

The  first  reference  is  to  a  lease  granted 
by  Prior  Newton  in  February,  1606  (f.<., 
1505/6),  which  proves  that  Percy  was  not 
Prior  on  a  particular  day  in  that  month  of 
1506,  but  docs  not  prove  that  he  was  "not 
Prior  in  1506."  Miss  Reddan's  second 
reference  is  to  the  printcnl  *  Calendar  of 
Ancient  Deeds,'  and  not,  as  one  would 
naturally  infer,  to  the  deed  itself.  The 
Calendar  gives  "  4  May.  1  Hen.  Vlll.,"  i.e., 
1509,  as  the  date  of  a  deed  in  which  Bradwell 
is  named  as  Prior-  If,  instead  of  being  con- 
tent with  the  Calendar,  Miss  Reddan  had 
referred  to  the  deed  itself,  she  would  have 
seen  that  the  deed  is  aetuallv  dated  4  May 
''anno  oct^jtv  Henrici  uctavi  {i.e.  8  Henry 
VIII..  1616).  I  may  add  that  the  writing 
of  the  deed  is  perfectly  clear,  and  that,  to 
*'  make  assurance  double  sure,"  I  asked  my 
friend  Dr.  W.  A.  Shaw,  %vho  is  an  expert  in 
such  things,  to  look  at  the  manuscript  with 
me.  This  ia  not  the  only  CAse  in  which 
I  have  found  the  *  Calendar  of  Ancient 
Deeds*  misleading.  The  true  date  of  the 
deed  (1516)  is  quite  consistent  with  the 
dates  I  have  quoted  above  from  my  '  Alder- 
men of  London,'  and  obviously  does  not 
support  Miss  Reddan's  inference  from  the 
date  given  in  the  Calendar. 

As  I  am  criticizing  Miss  Reddan  for  an 
error  into  which  any  one  but  such  a  con- 
firmed    sceptic     as     myself     with     regard

"  SoKOL,"  Bohemian  Ukion  fob  Ph^-si- 
OAii  CcxTUBE. — The  visit  of  a  team  of 
Bohemian  athletes  to  this  country  will 
have  drawn  attention  to  the  word  ftokol. 
The  movement  was  begun  in  1862  by  Dr, 
Mirofllav  Tyr,  a  profound  Greek  scholar  and 
enthusiast  for  physical  culture.  Through 
his  exertions,  aasintcd  by  those  of  Mr.  Jind- 
rich  Fiigner,  a  brotherhood  was  formed 
at  Pracue  for  the  objects  of  mental  and 
physicol  development,  and  before  the  deaths 
of  these  leaders  branches  were  established 
&11  over  Bohemia.  The  members  adojjted  a 
picturesque  dress,  with  the  aokol  (falcon) 
as  their  device.  Their  small  copjier  badge 
shows  the  artistic  figure  of  a  fencer  to  his 
waist,  with  the  words  na  straz  {on  guard). 
At  present  there  ore  thousands  of  centres, 
and  vast  numbers  a8semblc  for  the  periodicai 
displays  on  the  Letna  plain,  near  Prague. 
The  movement  has  Hprejid  to  other  Slav 
countries,  jncludinK  Ku«4iia,  whore  centres 
oxist  in  several  larpe  towns.

of  the  use  of  this  phrase  in  1708.  and  the

however,  in  a  ParUamentar>-  manner  seems

*'  Storm  ik  a  teacxtp.*' — Our  earliest 
example  at  present  of  this  familiar  expressicn 
is  of  1872.  It  was,  of  course,  in  use  long 
l)efore  ;  but  I  do  not  know  who  originated 
it.  I  am  told  that  there  is  a  variant  with 
"  teapot  "  in  place  of  "  teacup."  Aud  I  have 
seen  an  American  strengthened  equivalent, 
*'  tempest  in  a  teajwt."  I  should  be  glad  of 
examples  of  the  first-mentioned  form  before 
1872,  and  of  the  variants  of  any  date. 

The  American  version  is  piven  in  the 
Bupplementol  volume  to  '  The  Century 
Dictionary  *  published  last  year.  I  remem- 
ber its  occurrence  some  twenty  years  ago  in

Archbishop  Montaigne. — Many  years  ago 
I  asked,  and  received  replies  to,  a  question 
about  this  prelate  (see  7  S.  xi.  487  ;  xii. 
38.  78).  Last  autumn  his  monument  in 
Cawood  Church  —  which  originally  was 
situated  in  the  chancel,  but,  during  the 
restoration  of  the  church  some  thirty  yeais 
since,  was  movetl  to  the  west  end  of  the 
south  aisle — was  restored  under  Mr.  Oldrid 
Scott,  and  reset  at  the  west  end  of  the  nave. 
It  had  been  shamefiiUy  knocked  about  at 
the  first  removal,  but  tlie  fragments  were 
carefully  preserved  in  a  large  chest,  and  under 
skilful  treatment  this  beautifid  monument 
has  now  resumed  the  ap^ieurance  which  it 
wore  at  the  time  of  its  erection.

A  locaj  paper,  describing  its  unveiling  and 
rededication.  stated  that  the  Latin  epitaph 
signed  *'  Huro  HoUandus  flcvit  **  was  oom- 
posod  by  Hugo  Grotiii*,  said  to  bo  a  great 
personal  friend  of  the  Archbiehop.  I 
should  very  much  like  to  know  the  authority 
for  ttiid  BtAteinent.  I  asked  tho  editor 
for  it,  but  received  no  reply.  I  had  always 
supposed  it  to  be  the  work  of  Hugh  Holland, 
a  poet  of  that  period,  to  whom,  indeed,  it  it> 
attributed  in  Hacket's  '  Life  of  Archbishop 
Williams/  quoted  in  'Diet.  Nat.  Biog.' 
Orotius  was  in  England  in  1613,  but  must 
have  left  before  1619,  as  in  the  latter  year 
he  was  imprisoned  in  his  own  country. 
Montaigne  died  in  1628. 

One  of  your  correspondents  gives  the  con- 
cluBion  of  the  epitaph  thus  :  '"  Vixit  annoa 
59.  m.  b — d.  2."  Prom  personal  inspection 
I  am  able  to  say  that  these  numbers  do  not

THAMES     WATER     COMPANY' :      THE 

WATER    HOUSE. 

(U  S.  u.  29.) 

There  is  a  considerable  amount  of  informa- 
tion extant  in  reference  to  the  waterworks 
in  York  House  Garden,  generally  known  as 
the  York  Buildings  Waterworks ;  and 
engravings  showing  the  tower  are  frequently 
met  with.  In  the  Guildhall  Library  there 
is  a  collection  relating  to  this  undertaking. 
The  works  stood  near  the  foot  of  ViUiers 
Street,  Strand. 

In  1676  Ralnh  Bncknall  and  Ralph  Waine, 
gentlemen,  obtained  a  licence  under  the 
Great  Seal  to  erect  a  waterwork  neor  the 
Thames,  on  and  upon  part  of  the  ground  of 
York  House  or  York  House  Garden,  being 
(heir  own  ground,  for  the  term  of  99  years. 
The  property  was  soon  after  divided  into 
twelve  snares,  which  were  increased  in  1688 
to  forty-eight.  By  an  Act  of  2  and  3  William 
and  Mary  the  company  was  incorporated 
under  the  style  of  the  Governor  and  Company 
of  TTiidertakers  for  raising  Thames  Water 
in  York  Buildings.  In  1719  the  property 
was  sold  to  a  new  company,  who  afterwards 
enlarged   their   capital   for   the   pur|)ose   of 

Surchasing   forfeited   and   other   estates   in 
cotland  and  the  North  of  England. 
It  was  at  York  Buildings  that  the  steam 
pump  was  first  tised  for  public  water  supply. 


rOTES  AND  queries"    [ii  s.  n.  Jvlv  ao.  i9io. 


Originally  the  pumps  were  worked  by  a 
horae-mill,  as  waa  the  kuhv  at  Biilmer'fl 
works  at  Broken  Wharf,  and  Ford's  at 
Somerset  House  ;  but  in  1712,  or  soou  after, 
Savery,  who  had  already  set  up  one  of  his 
pumps  at  Camden  House,  Kensington, 
erected  a  larger  and  more  complicated 
apparatus  at  York  Buildings.  Tius  does 
not  seem  to  have  boon  a  suocess.  and  about 
1726  a  Newcomen  eneine  was  installed.

reason  for  thinking  that  it  was  eventually 
acquired  by  Sir  James  Lowther,  and  re- 
erected  at  a  colhery  at  Whitehaven. 

The  later  history  of  the  York  Buildings 
undertaking  is  related  briefly  in  Matthews^s 
•  Hydraulia.'  In  1818  it  was  acquired 
by  the  New  River  Company,  at  any  rate 
as  far  as  the  street  works  were  concerned. 
In  1829  an  Act  of  Parliament  authorized  the 
dissolution  of  the  York  Buildings  Company 
and  the  sale  of  every  kind  of  property 
belonging  to  it.  Rhys  Jenkins. 

The  following  quotation  is  from  William 
Matthews'a  *  Hydraulia  *  ( 3  836)  :— 

'In  the  year  l(Jt»l,  waterworks  were  constructed 
for  supplving  a  part  of  Westminster;  and  the 
persooa  who  engaged  In  this  undertaking  «)bta.iiwd 
an  Act  of  Parliament  for  incorporating  them  by 
the  desigiuitton  of  •  The  Governor  and  Ctimpony 
of  Undertakers  for  raising  Thames'  wat^r  in  York 
Bmldmga.  The  e.HtabUshment  was  situate  on 
the  bank  of  the  river,  contiguous  to  the  Strand, 
at  the  bottom  of  Villiers-«treet,  under  which 
their  principal  cistcra  or  reservoir  extended. 
Theac  works  conveyed  water  oa  far  us  PiccttdiHy.

Matthews  is  by  no  means  accurate  histori* 
cally,  hut  I  have  a  note  from  the  *  Statute* 
at  Large '  that  the  Act  of  Incorporation  is 
2  Wilham  and  Mary,  sees.  2,  cap.  24,  8o  that 
at  the  time  of  the  lease  quoted  by  C.  L.  S. 
(1679)  the  company  must  have  been  a 
private  company,  and  the  waterworks  must 
have  been  constructed  at  least  twelve  years 
earlier  tlian  Matthews  states.

In  The  Builder  of  6  June,  1906,  will  be 
found  an  illustration  of  this  water  towe*, 
and  possibly  some  descriptive  letterpress. 
It  stood  on  the  site  of  old  York  House,  and 
was  estabhshed  in  the  27th  of  Charles  II.  to 
supply  the  inhabitants  of  St.  James's 
with  water.  The  patent  granted  in  the 
reign  of  Charles  XL  in  connexion  witli  it  is  as 
follows  : —

House  to  serve  the  Inliabitants  of  St.  James's 
with  water  for  00  years." 

The  works  are  described  in  •  Tb» 
Foreigner's  Guide  to  London,*  1720  ;  but 
the  company  took  to  purchasing  estat««, 
granting  annuiti*^,  and  assuring  Lives,  and 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  bubbles  of  that  year 
of  wild  speculation.  The  firo  engine  ce^ased 
to  be  worked  in  1731  :  but  it  was  afterwards 
shown  for  several  years  as  a  curiosity. 

"  Its  working  by  sea-coal  was  attended  with 
so  much  smoke,  tliat  it  nr>t  only  must  pollute  the 
air  thcpi'abuuts,  but  spoil  tlie  furniture.  — London 
Daily  Poet,  1711. 

The  confused  affairs  of  the  company,  and 
the  consequent  diaptites  and  lawsuits  with 
its  creditors  and  debtors,  gave  rise  to  a  host 
of  pamphlets,  and  even  a  political  noveU

Nemon's  BmTHPLACE  (11  S.  i.  483  ;  ii.  36). 
—I  believe  Y.  T.  is  mistaken  in  am-ribing 
Httratio  Nelson's  birthplace  to  Borsham 
in  Suffolk.  Nelson's  father,  the  Rector  of 
Bumham  Thorpe,  Norfolk,  in  1781.  penned 
with  his  o^-n  hand,  a  *'  Family  Historical 
,"  in  which  he  noted  the  birtlis, 
;es,  and  sponsor;^  of  all  his  cliildren. 
MS.,  which  is  still  extant,  he  wrote 
cliildron  : —

"  noraUo,  bom  att  ditto  Sept.  29*^  1758." 
In  the  Bumham  Thorpe  parish  registers 

1758  is  the  baptismal  entry  thus  : —

*Uie  aforesaid  Family  Historical  Register 
ih»  Kev.  E.  Nelson  tells  the  hfe  story  of  his 
»i4»  and  himself  thus  : — 
"  VyHolf,  educated  att  a  school  in  the  country, 
iftled  to  Caius  Coll.,  Cftmbridgc,  1743.  Vr. 
then  Master ;  my  tut-or  Dr.  Kgbngton. 
»  bachelor's  degree  at  the  usual  tune,  was 
soon  after,  and  att  Michaehuass,  1745, 
curate  to  the  Rc*v.  Thomas  Page,  Reetor 
ilea  in  Suffolk  :  there  remained  till  Octo>>er. 
My  father   dSed— «ucceeded  him  in   both 


Ilia  livings :  Hilborough  on  my  mother's  pru- 
sentation,  and  Sporle  the  Provcjst  and  PoUows 
of  Eton.  I  resided  with  my  mother  att  Hil-i 
bopoogh,  and  in  May,  1749,  married  Catheritie^* 
daughter  of  Maurice  Suckling,  late  Prebendary 
of  \Ve8tminf(ter  and  Rector  of  Barsham  and 
WoiKlt*in,  and  Anne  his  wife,  daughter  of  Sir 
Cbarles  Turner,  Bart.,  of  A\&rlmm,  Noff  [?J.  Att 
Michaeiinuss  went  to  housekeeping  at  HwfifTlmmin 
and  at  Miehaebnas,  175H,  n>Uioved  into  a  hired 
house  ut  Sporle.  In  November,  1755.  od  tUo 
death  of  Thomas  Smiths^^m  (clerk),  was  pre- 
ferred to  the  Kectory  of  Bumliam  Thon^e  on  the 
preseutatiun  uf  tliu  H""*^' Htirare  \Valpule,  after 
Lord  U'nlpole  of  Wollerton.  Maurit-e  Suekliug^ 
D.D..  died  in  the  year  1720.  buried  att  Barsham 
within  the  communion  railing,  aged  64.  Anne,' 
ilia  widow,  died  at  Bun\iiain  Tliorpe  .Tanuary  5th, 
17fl8,  aged  77,  buried  att  Bai>haiii  iitar  her 
husband.  Cutlierine  (Nelson),  their  daughtt.'r, 
died  December  20tb,  1707.  aged  42,  Ues  buried 
in  the  chancel  of  Humham  Thorpe." 

By  this  it  will  bo  seen  that  Catherine 
Suckling's  father  died  in  1729-30;  and.  as 
a  matter  of  fact,  his  widow  immediately 
removed  to  Beccles  with  her  young  family, 
and  was  there  residing  when  Mr.  Nelson 
was  appointed  curate  and  made  the  acquaint- 
ance of  her  daughter  Catherine.  Lord 
Walpole  of  WoUerton  was  Mr^.  Suckling's 
maternal  imcle,  and  so  gave  the  li\-ing  of 
Bumham  Thorpe  to  the  husband  of  his  preat- 
iiieee.  After  the  Nelsons'  removal  from 
Sporle  to  the  old  Rectory  of  Bumham 
Thorpe,  Mrs.  Suckling  took  up  her  residence 
in  a  house  belonging  to  her  imcle  in  that 
village,  and  there  died  on  7  January,  1768. 

It  is  possible  that  Y.  T.'a  infonuant  has 
confused  the  family  tradition  that  Horatio 
Nelson  was  bom  in  his  grandmother's  house, 
there  having  been  a  slight  fire  at  the  Rectory 
of  Bumham  Thorrje  in  1758,  on  which 
occasion  Mj*8.  Nelson  removed  to  her 
mother^s  house  in  the  village,  whore  her 
baby  was  bom  on  the  2flth  of  Septeral>er. 
The  house,  now  used  by  Lord  Orford  tus  a 
shooting  cottage,  is  always  believed  by  the 
Walpole  family  to  have  been  the  scene 
of  the  birth  of  the  hero  of  Trafalgar.  At 
all  eventP,  Nelson's  grandmother,  Mrs. 
Suckhug,  dated  her  will  in  December,  1767, 
from  her  house  in  the  village  of  Burnham 
Thorjiie,  having  long  before  severed  her 
eonneadon  with  Baraham.  Indcc>d,  its 
rectory  house  at  the  time  of  the  hero's 
birth  was  in  the  occupation  of  the  Rev. 
Edward  Holden  (1774-07).  while  Robert 
Suckling  of  Woodton  (1740-1802)  was  lord 
of  the  manor. 

I  think  this  is  conclusive  that  Admiral 
Lord  Nelson  was  not  bom  at  Barsham.

Bababbas  a  PrnLisHEB  (IIS.  ii.  29). — 
Falso  traditions  die  hard,  but  I  BUpposod 
that  tliis  one  had  reoeivod  its  quietus  long 
ago,  as  it  has  been  refuted  Bome  scores  of 
times. 

There  is  no  reference  in  Byron^s  poems  to 
B&rabbas  and  a  publiishor.  The  stoiy  ran 
that  Byron  gave  my  grandfather  a  Bible, 
and  that  ray  grandfather  was  much  touched 
by  thia  evidence  of  the  poet's  reliffious 
fervour  until,  on  turning  over  the  leaves, 
he  foimd  in  the  40th  verse  of  St.  .John's 
Gospel,  chap,  xviii.,  the  word  **  robber" 
changed  into  *'  publisher.*' 

The  joke  was  |>erpetrated  by  Thomas 
Campbell  on  another  publisher :  neither 
Byron  nor  my  ^grandfather  had  any  part  in 
it.  I  have  in  my  library  Byron's  Bible,  and 
there  is  no  mark  or  notch  in  it  of  any  kind. 

Byron,  however,  did  drink  the  health  of 
Napoleon  because  he  shot  a  bookseller.

"Meblcche"  (11  S.  i.  329)  is  a  word 
of  uncertain  and  equivocal  use.  For  in- 
stance, I  take  Alfred  Elwall's  Dictionary, 
which  I  used  in  my  schooldays,  and  in  the 
French-English  part  I  find  '*  Merlwhe,  salt- 
cod,"  but  in  the  English-French  pft<*t 
*"*  Hake,  merluche."  Turning  to  the  *bic- 
tionnaire-(;;6n*5ral  de  la  Langue  Fran^aise, 
by  Hatzfeld,  A.  Darmesteter,  and  A.  Thomas. 
I  Bee  that  the  name  is  given  to  several  fishes 
of  the  Bpecies  Oadue  when  dried  in  the  sun, 
and  especially  to  dried  codfish. 

But  the  lexicological  problem  is  solved 
in  the  late  Eugene  Holland's  excellent 
'  Faune  Populnire,'  vol.  xi.  (April,  1910). 
This  volume  treats  of  the  reptilcB  and  fishes. 
The  article  *  Merlu,'  p.  213,  XeWa  us  that  the 
merlu  or  merluche  is  the  Gadiui  rnerluciun  of 
LinnmuB,  and  in  certain  countries  takes  the 
place  of  the  codfiBh  and  is  prepared  in  the 
same  way.  Our  moru^  [ibid,,  p.  221)  is  the 
English  codfish,  and  Cuvier's  Morrhua 
vttlgaris. 


Kolland  adds  that  the  mwiuche  is  less 
esteemed  than  the  codfish  when  salted ; 
but  evidently  Ixith.  hake  and  codfish,  when 
dried  or  salted,  became  confused  in  common 
use.  Fishmongers,  grocers,  and  their  cua* 
tonicra  are  neither  naturalista  nor  U 
cographers.  H.  OaxzK)!

Cotgrave,  1660,  has  :  **  Merlue  ou  Mi 
A  Melwell  or  Kneeling  :  a  kind  of  small 
whereof  Stockfish  is  made," 

Mi^ge.  1688,  has:    '"  Alerlus,     Foisifton 
haute  mer.  dont  ou  fait  Ic  8tocfiche,  a 
well,    or    Kneehng,    a    kind    of    small 
whereof  Stock-fish  is  made." 

Manage.  1694,  derives  the  word  from 
Maris  htcia^^  and  states  that  Scaliper  calls 
it  merlucitis,  and  that  Pontus  de  Thyard, 
referring  to  the  fish  called  asellus  by  the 
Latins,  says  that  this  is  the  meriuz.  Menage 
also  Btatps  that  from  Alaris  lucia  caiu» 
moliUt  to-day  called  morUe ;  that  in  Lan- 
guedoc  merluc^  signifies  moriie,  and  that 
fnerltu  is  the*  equivalent  of  merlan. 

All  of  which  seems  to  show  that  m^rluehe 
is  the  cM/fish  from  which  **  stockfish  ''  waft 
made.  John  HoDOKn?.

mourue  [sic]  sal^c  "  ;  and  under  ealpa  : 
'*  Salpa^  en  Francois,  Vergadjelle^  Stoch* 
fisch,  Merlu,  Merluche."  The  former  fish 
is,  of  course,  the  cod  :  the  latter,  fronj  the 
description  he  gives,  I  should  suppose  to  \» 
the  haddock,  but  in  Caasell's  '  Eng.-Fr- 
Dictionary  *  '*  Merluv,  m.,  and  meriucH^  f.," 
IS  the  detiuition  given  of  the  hake.  Vnder 
meHucius  Lemery  has  *'*ife  CaUofia^* 
Jonst.  en  Francois,  Peiitt  Jl/orwe,**  vpfai^li 
is  still  one  of  the  French  names  of  the 
haddock.  The  scientific  name  of  the  haiu* 
is,  however,  Merlucciujt  inUgaria.  Of  tho 
name  merlucius  Lemory  says  :  "  Merludut 
d  mare  tt  luce,  comme  qui  diroit,  iumiert 
de  la  mer,  a  cause  que  ce  poisson  a  de  grand 
ypux  "  (1  give  this  as  he  prints  it). 

The  conclusion  appears  to  l^e  that  nwr/ticAe 
is  a  name  given  to  various  kinds  of  dried 
orsaltfieli.  C.  C.  B. 

Though  nierluche  is  a  comprehenisive 
term  for  stockfish,  such  as  cod.  ling,  hake, 
haddock,  and  torsk,  it  usually  implies 
haddock  on  menu  cards,  while  muus  on  the 
same  is  utilized  more  especially  for  hake.

"TiLUEt-L"  (U  S.  ii.  47).— The  colour  of 
the  fletirs  de  tiUtiU  is  a  yellow-green — the 
cornbinoti<»n  is  two  parts  yellow  and  one 
part  blue.  This  hue  is  not  uncommon, 
and  therefore  it  may  bear  a  particular  name 
at  any  season,  according  to  the  humour  of 
fashion.  The  tiUeul  colour  probably  owea 
its  origin  to  some  Parisian  textile  merchant 
with  an  eye  for  novelty,  who  gave  to  this  hue 
the  name  of  the  tree.  But  such  colours 
pet  out  of  date,  and  the  name  loses  its 
special  Hi^ificance.

Sir  Matthew  Philip,  Mayor  of  London 
(11  S.  ii.  24,  73).— The  date  of  knighthood  of 
this  early  civic  worthy  has  beon  long  a 
difficulty,  owing  to  the  seemingly  sub- 
stantial authority  for  l>oth  the  K.B.  of  1465 
and  the  Knight* Bachelor  of  1471.  It  has 
been  suggested  that  Plulip  was  twice  dubbod, 
but  I  know  of  no  case  in  which  the  aame  man 
received  the  accolade  twice,  unless  possibly 
upon  the  promotion  of  a  Kju'ght  Bachelor 
to  the  liigher  dignity  of  a  Knight  Banneret. 
and  even  of  this  the  evidence  is  by  no  means 
clear.  Anyhow,  this  would  not  apply  to 
Philip.  Neither  would  the  fact  of  the 
alleged  earlier  knighthood  being  that  of  a 
K.B.  account  for  a  poRKible  necond  dubbing. 
Whether  or  not.  in  the  fifteenth  century 
Knighthood  of  the  Bath  was  of  a  distinct 


order  from  that  of  the  military  Knight 
I  beb'eve,  problematical,  but  it  cert 
appears  to  have  been  looked  upon  as  of 
higher  status.  To  suppose,  therefore,  that 
man  made  a  K.B.  in  1465  Bhould  six 
later  be  dubbed  again  to  a  simple 
hood  would  be  unreasonable. 

Wliich  of  the  two  dates  is  the  correct 
is  a  matter  of  credence  and  evidence, 
balancing  of  one  authority  with  ani 
And  here  I  think  the  evidence  in  favour 
1471  is  concluBive.  To  the  proofs  quotedJ 
liis  not«  by  my  friend  Mr.  Beaven  fra 
Gregory's  '  Chrom'cle '  and  the  London  Cit 
records  may  be  added  the  moiiumeati 
inscription  to  Philip's  wife  in  Heme  Churcl 
Kent,  given  by  Weever  ('Fun.  Mon.") 
follows:  '*Hic  jacet  Christiano  dudui 
uxoris  Mathei  Philipi  Aurifabri  ac  Maiof 
Londinensis  que  obijt. . .  .  1470  pro  cuil 
anime  salute  velitis  Deum  orare."  It  i 
clear,  therefore,  that  the  ex -Mayor  wasnoC 
Knight  when  his  wife  died  in  1470. 

My  impression  is  that  the  origin  of  ih 
error  is  in  the  statement  of  Fabyan,  a  writw 
as  said  by  the  lat-e  John  Bruce,  whi^i  is  " 
most  valuable  authority  upon  all  matters  coa 
nectcd  with  transactions  tnat  took  place  with 
in  the  City  of  London  ;  but  often  inaccunil 
on  minor  points  respecting  events  whicl 
passetl  elsewhere  "  (*  Restoration  of  Edwiin 
IV.,'  Camden  Soc.  vol.  ).  I  suggest  that  tU 
is  one  of  Fabyan's  minor  inaccuracies  tan 
the  source  of  the  whole  difficulty.

daughter  has  been  a  favourite  subject  with 
artists  both  in  ancient  and  modem  tinkes. 
Mrs.  Jameson  in  her  '  Hifitory  of  our  Lord,' 
vol.  i.  pp.  172-3,  mentions  Perugino, 
Raphael,  Poussin,  and  Bonifazio  as  having

In  public  and  private  galleries  in  tliis  country

Among  them  a  '  Finding  of  Mo8e« '  by

Pigeon-houses  in  the  Middle  Ages 
(11  S.  ii.  49). — Aa  bearing;  on  the  custom 
of  pigeon-houses,  there  is  in  the  archives  of 
the  t)over  Corporation  a  charter,  dated 
7  March,  1467,  by  which  "  a  berne.  a  pardein 
with  a  douffhous. .  .  .within  tho  liberty  of  the 
Town  and  Port  of  Dover,"  was  let  for  80 
years.  Twice  in  the  charter  the  structure 
is  called  *'  a  douffhous,"  and  three  times  it  is 
referred  to  as  a  culverhotise.  That  the  struc- 
ture was  a  permanent  one  of  Boine  importance 
is  ehowTi  by  the  fact  that  special  provisions 
are  made  for  its  being  kept  in  repair  during 
the  80  ytJars'  lease.  Aa  to  the  connexion 
of  pigeon-houses  with  rectories,  it  may  be 
mentioned  that  tliia  *'  berne  gardein  with 
douffhoua  '*  was  near  to  St.  James's 
Rectory,  Dover,  and  there  was  an  ancient 
barn  standing  there  about  a  centurj'  ago. 

Ah  to  the  right  to  erect  pigeon -ho  uses, 
a  lord  of  the  manor,  according  to  cases  cited 
by  Bum,  may  build  a  dovecot  on  his 
own  manor,  but  a  tenant  of  a  manor  cannot 
without  his  lord's  licence ;  but  any  free- 
holder may  build  a  dovecot  on  his  own  land. 
Pigeons  kept  in  such  dovecots  were,  at  a  very 
early  period,  protected  by  the  game  laws. 
It  would  seem  that  the  right  to  have  a 
jiigeon-house  at  a  rectory  would  arise  from 
the  tenure  being  in  the  nature  of  a  fr«?ehold  ; 
and  by  a  similar  rule  the  Dover  Corporation

As  a  general  rule,  the  privilege  of  setting 
up  columbaria  in  mediaeval  times  was  con- 
fined to  lords  of  manors,  monaat«rie8,  and 
pariah  priesta.  The  parson  in  some  places 
had  his  cote  in  a  stage  of  the  church  tower. 
Thousands  of  hungry  birds  flow  hither  and 
thither  to  nourish  themselves  on  other  grain

thus  impo*ied  a  heavy  tax  on  farmern ;  tliis

Family  (U  S.  i.  608;    ii.  68).— 
my  gratitude  to  B.U.  L,  L.  and 
for    their    valuable   information, 
regret    that    such    comnrehen^ive 
i*e  no  confirmation  of  the  tneory  that 
gave  its  name  to  Cowes  ? 
jh  arnon^st  naval  papers  that  refer 
ie  has  also  been  fruitless  of  results, 
it  it  shows  that  West  Cowe  was  an 
^y  of  wTiting  of  the  Cofitle. 
A  bvh  question  arises  from  the  efforts  to 
Iho  name,  and  I  should  gratefully  wel- 
iliformation    upon    it.     There    seems 
for  doubting  the  received  belief  that 
H«nry   VIII.   built   a  second   castle. 
C«st«m  aide  of  the  Medina.     In  the 
of  hi«  daughter  Elizabeth,  when  very 


fully  recorded,  there  is  no  mention  of  East 
Cowes  Castle.  It  is  not  named  on  Speed's 
map,  and  though  Old  Castle  Point  exists, 
there  is  absolutely  no  record  of  any  building 
there.  Can  any  of  your  readers  help  to 
settle  this  point"?  Y.  T.

TheCibcleofLoda  (11  S.  ii.8). — Perhaps 
Db.  Young  may  find  the  information  he 
desires  by  consulting  the  poems  of  Ossian, 
especially  those  entitled  '  Carric-Thura,' 
•Cath-Loda,'  and  *  Eina-Morul.'  Loda  is 
beUeved  to  have  been  synonymous  with 
Odin,  the  Scandinavian  deity.  The  circle  of 
Loda,  mentioned  in  *  Carrie-Tliura.'  is 
supposed  to  be  a  place  of  worshijj  among  the 
Norsemen.  Apparently  it  was  situated  on 
one  of  the  islauclM  of  the  Orcadian  group,  but 
it  may  be  understood  as  applicable  to  any 
locality  where  the  worsluppers  of  Odin 
assembled.  The  hall  of  Loda  perhaps  stands 
for  the  Norse  Valhalla,  but  is  evidently 
located  on  some  ishuid  off  the  Scandinavian 
or  Norwegian  coost.  Brewer's  '  Header's 
Handbook  *  draws  an  interesting  parallel 
between  the  encounter  of  Fingal  and  Loda 
as  related  by  Ossian,  and  the  wounding  of  the 
war-cod  Mars  by  Diomed  in  the  '  Iliad.'

Market  Day  (11  S.  ii.  48).— Was  not  the 
main  consideration  in  fixing  a  day  for  a 
market  the  desire  to  avoid  conflicting  with  a 
more  imiiortant  market  in  the  neighbour- 
hood ?  Markets  were  not  principally  (in 
their  origin)  intended  for  farmers  who 
wished  to  sell  the  week's  store  of  proWaions 
(manna)  to  townsfolk,  but,  like  the  fairs. 
were  for  farmers  to  buy  ond  to  sell — or  to 
exchange — their  stock  and  their  provender

The  most  important  markets,  therefore, 
were  not  those  in  bifi  towns,  but  thu:^  in 
convenient  positions  to  st-rve  &  big  district, 
and  es[»«cifllly  a  dintriot  v^nth  very  varieti 
soils  and  culture*poasil>ilitieA.  In  many 
ca-^tea — probably  most — the  foirs  preceded  the 
markeiH.  Fairs  were  reK"latea  by  season 
and  by  saints*  days.  Thus,  on  u  liorder 
between  high  land  thai  affords  ample  «heep- 
pastore  through  the  sununer,  and  Jower  land 
where  sheep  may  be  root-fed  and  folded 
through  the  winter,  there  would  be  fairs  at 
the  most  convenient  time  for  changinp  the 
sheep.  Wlien  a  market  was  demanded  by 
changed  conditions,  it  would  probably 
be  ou  tJio  same  day  of  the  week  aa  the 
principal  fair-day,  unless  that  day  was 
already  in  use  for  some  neighbouring  market. 
Many  farniera  attend  two  or  more  markets, 
in  different  plaeea,  regularly. 

H.    8NOWT5KN    WaBD. 

In  a  given  district  it  is  plainly  to  the 
advantage  of  farmers  and  their  customers  to 
meet  more  freqtiently  than  once  a  week,  and 
cotmtry  carriers  will  be  found  going  to  two 
or  three  market:*  a  week  within  their  radius. 
The  later-established  markets  would  choose 
a  different  day  from  that  6xed  by  their  senior 
neighbour.  H.  P.  L.

Goldsmith  akd  Hackntcy  (11  S.  ii.  10).^ 
Goldsmith  lodged  in  Canonbury  in  1767 
as  well  as  in  1762.  The  events  attending  his 
residence  there  have  been  carefully  examined 
by  Forster  in  his  *  Life  of  Gold*tmith.'  and  by 
Mr.  Austin  Dobaon  in  *  OUver  Goldsmith  ' 
in  the  '•  Great  Writers"  series.  It  is 
extremely  probable  that  he  \-iaited  Hack- 
ney while  residinR  at  Canonbury,  but  no 
e^^dence  has  yet  been  forthcoming  to  show 
that  he  did.  When  two  such  accomplished 
gleaners  have  thoroughly  explored  the  field 
of  inquiry,  it  is  scarcely  likely  that  many 
grains  have  been  left  imgathered  to  reward 
the  efforts  of  future  investigators.

and  obsorving  a  larg.*  ld'»rk  of 
in  the  north  wall  of  the  cliapel, 
it  might  be  the  hack  of  a  nionu- 


mcnt  formerly  placed  there.  Led  by  this  hint 
they  opened  the  ground  not  far  from  the  walU 
nnd  not  much  more  than  a  foot  from  the  surface 
they  foimd  a  leaden  envelope,  which  they  npened 
in  two  places,  on  the  fwt*  and  breast,  nnd  found  it 
to  contain  a  human  liudy  wrapped  in  cert'cloth. 
I'pon  removing  what  covered  the  face,  they 
discovered  the  featurep,  anA  partinilHrly  the  eyes, 
in  perfect  preser^'ation.  Alarmed  at  thio  sight 
and  with  the  nnell,  which  came  priucipaUy  from 
the  cerecloth,  they  ordered  the  ground  to  be 
thrown  in  immediatoly,  without  judiciously 
closing  up  the  cerecloth  and  leitd  which  covered 
the  face  :  only  ob»er>-in^  enough  of  the  insci-iptioa 
to  convince  them  that  it  was  the  body  of  Queen 
Kntherine. 

*'  In  May,  1784,  aomo  persons,  lui%'inf;  curiosity 
again  to  open  the  grave,  found  that  the  air,  ruiUr 
and  dirt  having  ctmie  Xa>  the  fact-,  it  was  entirely 
destroyed,  and  nothing  left  but  the  bones.  It 
was  then  immediately  covered  up,  and  no 
further  search  made. 

'■  Oct.  1-4,  1786.  I  went  to  Sudeley  in.  company 
with  the  Hon.  John  .Summers  Cocks,  and  Mr. 
John  Stripp  of  Ledlniry.  having  previously 
nbtaiued  leave  of  Lord  Rivers,  the  owner  of  the 
Castle,  to  examine  tlie  clmpel.  t'p*m  opening 
the  gniund  and  heaving  up  the  lead,  we  found 
the  face  totally  decayed,  the  bimcfi  only  remain- 
ing;  the  teeth,  which  were  sound,  had  fallen 
out  of  their  sockets.  The  body.  I  believe,  is 
perfect,  aa  it  has  never  been  opened  ;  we  tlmught 
it  indecent  to  uncover  it  ;  but  obBer\'inK  the 
left  hand  to  lie  at  a  small  distance  from  the  body, 
we  took  ofl  the  cerecloth,  and  found  the  hand 
and  nails  perfect,  but  of  a  brownish  colour :  the 
cereclftth  consisted  of  many  folds  *if  coarse  linen, 
dipped  in  wax,  tar.  and  perhaps  some  gum,  &c.  : 
over  this  was  -wrapt  a  sheet  i>f  lend,  fitted  exactly 
close  to  the  body." 

On  the  part  of  the  lead  that  covered  the 
breafit  was  the  inscription.  W.  C. 

Perhaps  the  most  detailed  account  of 
the  close  of  Queen  Katherine  Parr's  life  \v\\\ 
be  found  in  the  Rev.  James  Anderson's 
*  Ladies  of  the  Reformation,'  vol.  i.  The 
book  waa  pubUahed  about  fifty-five  years  ago» 
and  enjoyed  for  a  time  considerable  popu-

day  ;  a  full  Ust  of  her  WTitings  m  given  in 
\Val|>ole*e  *  Royal  and  Noble  Authors,'  vol.  i. 

The  fate  of  her  daughter  by  Lord  Seymour 
of  Sudeley  is  involved  in  some  obscurity. 
Trustworthy  liistorians  agree  in  representing 
her  as  dying  in  infancy,  or,  at  least,  while 
still  of  tender  years,  thus  following  the 
authority  of  Strype  rather  than  that  of  Miss 
Strickland.  W.  Scott.

by  hia  own  experience  of  reptirtiiiK  and  uritina  a

Tci»ortcr  who  was  rejiponsible  for  the  Quarto 
text  was.  Dr.  Greg  suggeots,  the  actor  who  plaved 
the  part  of  Mine  Host,  for  tlie  speet^hes  of  that 
niu-t  are  reported  with  ver>'  unusual  accuracy. 
The  notes  after  the  text  show  a  laudable  rcluc- 
taiiue  io  consent  to  cnniectureB.  however  specious, 
where  the  Quarto  and  Polio  readings  agree. 

When  Hlender  says  (1.  110  of  the  Quarto)  of 
*'u  Pem'er"  that  "he  hot  my  shin,"  he  is  using 
a  piist  tiirnso  of  *'  hit  "  which  wc  have  often  heard 
in  yhakeapcare's  country. 

There  are  notes  on  two  well-known  difficulties, 
'*  gongarian "  and  "  garmombles."  neitlier  uf 
which,  we  note,  appears  in  the  '  N.E.D.'  As  for 
the  former,  until  Steevens's  quotation  from  "  one 
of  the  old  bombast  plays  "  which  ho  "  forgot  to 
note*'  luis  been  discovered,  comment,  as  Dr. 
Greg  sensibly  remarks,  is  useless.  As  for  tiie  other 
■odd  wonl.  Dr.  Greg  regards  the  paasiige  in  which 
it  occurfl  as  unoriginal,  and  a  substitution  for  a 
more  elaborate  8<-ene  which  luul  to  be  cut  out. 
So  if  "  gannoniblea "  is  not  a  wild  blundir. 
it  does  not  Iw-long  to  the  nrininnl  text,  hut  i-i  "  a

by  th*  artor  (an  KUinbethan  Pelissier)  fur  tlie 
benefit  of  an  audience  familiar  with  current 
dramatic  scandal,"  This  must  pertainly  be  the 
ftwt  appearance  of  the  leader  of  "The  Follies  " 
in  serious  criticism. 

Neither  the  Folio  nor  the  Quarto  gives  such 
an  ending  to  the  play  in  the  last  act  as  we  might 
expect  from  Shakespeare.  That  is  the  view  of 
Dr.  Greg,  and  of  otht-r  rritica  ;  or,  if  the  work  is 
Shakespeare's,  it  "  has  almost  dif?appearcd  under 
a  twofold  revision  by  a  greatly  inferior  play-

AT  MADRAS. 

%  Cact  that  there  have  been  recently  in 

'X    k,    Q.'    Be\era]    notes    U]>on    Addison's 

ancestry  may  seem  to  give  some 

teas    to    the    insertion    of    the 

leCter,  a  copy  of  which  was  kindly 

some  time    ago  by  Sir   R4">bert 

-TSkomann,  who  treaatiree  the  original 

bis     family    papers.     The     writer. 

Baker,  waa  a  brother  of  Catharine 

who  married  Thomas  Keinington  in 

a  son.  the  Rev,  Daniel  William 

who   was   Sir   Robert's   great- 

(see  10  S.  ix.  302). 

^  pfincipal   interest  of  the  letter  lies 

^  tk»  Mdcuunt  it  giveit  of  the  last  days  of 

Mnift  Addison,    and   of   his   death.     The

Dorothy,  daughter  of  Thomas  Brudenell 
(see  Harwood's  '  Lichfield,'  p.  (»7).  Nothing 
is  known  of  his  early  life,  but  the  letter  which 
follows  shows  that  he  had  been  at  least 
extravagant  and  had  incurred  hia  father's 
severest  displeasure  : —

ft  It  has  beea  a  great  trouble  to  me.  But  am 
resolved  hereafter  (if  y<:)U  will  give  m>e  leave) 
to  send  you  all  y*  Comfort  I  am  able  in  your  old

God  knows  how  this  Country  may  agree  witb 
my  Conatitution,  If  1  live  my  Fortune  is  cer- 
tamly  made  in  a  few  Years.  But  I  ought  to  begin 
A  state  Occurrences  in  Order.  We  set  sail  od 
Saturday  y  9^  of  April  from  Plymouth,  A  after 
a  voyage  attended  with  some  Hardships  A.  great 
danger  (especially  in  a  prodigious  Storm  y* 
beginning  of  July  w***  lasted  two  nights  A  one  day 
a  perfect  Hurricane)  we  come  to  an  Anchour 
y  17*  of  September,  just  23  Weeks  in  Our 
passage.  Our  ships  arrived  y*  first  of  y*  Fl»'t, 
and  consequently  brought  y*  news  of  Mr  Addi* 
son's  Iwing  made  Gov'  of  this  Place.  Hia  Knee 
isswell'd  extremely,  &  Ph>-8icians  here  say  'tis  y* 
Gout.  I  wish  it  is  so,  but  'tis  what  he  never  had 
before  &>  I  aui  flur(>  wrtiOg  niethiids  have  h«en 
applyed  such  as  Bathing  A  Poultices,  Plaiaters  ftc. 
He  continuee  just  in  y*  same  condition  as  wheu 
first  I  saw  Hlxu,  w^  is  now  near  a  Month.  He 
has  not  much  pain,  but  wants  Spirits,  w^^  makes 
Him  not  relish  his  great  Pnefetment.  und  is  indeed 
far  from  being  elat«d  w**>  it.  And  here  it  will  not 
be  amiss  to  acquaint  you  w*  my  Rc^ception. 
But  will  first  let  ymi  know  what  must  be  kept  to 
Your  Helf  viz.  :  His  Kelations  in  England  recom* 
mended  me  very  heartily  to  the  Govemour 
but  at  y*  same  time  sent  Him  a  particular  relation 
of  all  my  foolish  niistakes,  such  as  being  a  little 
too  exact  in  dressing,  and  advised  Him  to  ke^ 
me  at  a  decent  distance  for  fear  1  might  grow 
too  free  w"*  Hin\  &c. :  so  tender  a  regard  they  had

The  sympathy  which  we  f«ii  for  Brudcne] 
Baker  when  reading  the  first  part  of 
letter,  where  he  pleadiJ  with  his  fat 
for  recognition  in  sentencea  simple 
apporently  heartfelt,  is  quite  alienated  by 
extraordinary  proposal  which  mars  the 
script.  The  stem  old  cleric  must 
have  been  astonished  at  such  a  request 
made  to  him,  and  we  may  well  doubt 
letter  effected  a  rpconcihntion  between 
and  son.  All  we  can  plead  for  Bru 
Baker  is  that  he  was  the  victim  of  a 
and  tragic  disappointment,  and  that 
postacript  waa  j>enned  just  before  the  d 
ture  of  the  sup*  leaving  no  time  f 
better  feelings  to  aaaert  themselves, 
however  we  may  deplore  this  lapse 
moral  sense,  it  is  clear  that  he  was  a 
man  of  some  parts,  who  very  quickly  w 
confidence  and  affection  of  an  able 
in  spite  of  his  qualified  reconunendAt 
It  would  be  interesting  to  know  if  it 
Joseph  Addison  who  sent  his  brother 
particular  relation  of  all "  the  youiu 
prodigars  "  fooUsh  mistakes."  Weprubab^ 
should  not  err  in  attributing  to  him  anothe 
inimitable  essay  upon  youthful  foDy. 

We  learn  no  more  of  Brudenell  Baker, 
the  time  and  the  place  of  his  death  are 
unknown    to    us.     Even    the    Hrv,    Fbam 
Penw,  whose  acquaintance  with  the 
of  Fort  St.  George  is  so  intimate, 
disinter  his  name  from  the  records  ;   so 
it  is  probable  he  did  not  remain  there, 
certain  be  attained  no  distinction,     i 
not   mentioned   in   the   will   of   his   fa 
who  died  at  Ijchfield  in  August,  1732  ; 
this  shows  nothing,  for  the  aged  prebe: 
makee  no  allusion  to  any  son  at  all,  oJt 
it  seems  clear  that   one  at  least.

that  she  may  have  been  previously  married.

TOTTEL'S     '  SHSCELLAXY.'     PUTTEN- 
HAM'S  '  ARTE  OF  ENGLISH  POESIE,* 
AND  GEORGE  TURBERVILE. 
(See  anUx  p.   1.) 

There  is  something  strange  alxiut  Putten- 
hom's  manner  of  introducing  quotations 
from  TurberWIe  that  requires  explanation, 
and  it  is  well  worthy  of  note. 

As  I  have  said,  Turbervile  is  only  once 
named  ui  '  The  Arte  of  English  Poesie.' 
and  then  he  comes  in  for  praise  with  othera 
**who  have  written  excellently  well.'*  But 
when  Puttenham  quotes  Turbervile  the 
critic  seems  to  wish  to  convey  to  his  readers 
the  impression  that  he  is  dealing  with  pas- 
sages not  from  the  work  of  one  man.  but 
from  the  work  of  several  men.  He  not  only 
hides  names,  but  also  goes  out  of  his  way 
to  blind  us  as  to  the  Sources  from  which  he 
obtained  his  materiaL 

There  are  four  passages  from  Turbervile 
cited  in  pp.  262-3,  and  the  uninitiated  reader 
is  compelled  to  assume  that  the  critic  is 
lashing  at  four  distinct  writers.  Two  quota- 
tions are  introduced  with  the  remark  "as 
he  that  .said  "  ;  the  third  one  follows  with 
the  introduction,  "  another  that  praysing  his 
mistresse  for  her  bewtifull  haire,  said "  j 
and  the  last  passage  comes  in  with  "  as  one 
that  said,"  but  separated  froii;  the  other 
three  by  a  quotation  from  Puttenham's 
own  'Partheniades.*  which  the  author,  with

paternal  pride,  contrasta  with  Turbervile 
1o  illuBtrato  in  a  moat  striking  manner  the 
difference  between  good  and  bad  verse. 

ReAdcra  of  his  own  day  cotild  hardly 
«acapo  knowing  the  poet  whom  Putt^nliam 
aimed  at,  and  they  would  have  the  help  of 
Turbervile'tj  special  admirers  and  friends  to 
help  them  if  they  were  at  fault.  But  men 
of  ft  later  generation  would  not  be  so  for- 
tunate, and  therefore  ifc  is  no  wonder  that 
Puttenham's  ambiguous  stylo  of  reference 
has  served  the  purpose,  up  to  now,  of 
hiding  his  concentrated  onslaught  on  Turber- 
vile. And  it  is  an  ingenious  mode  of  attack* 
too.  because,  to  any  charge  of  personal 
malice  that  might  be  brought  against  him, 
Futtenham  could  answer  that  he  did  not 
name  the  poet,  that  he  pretended  to  be 
dealing  with  more  persons  than  one,  and  he 
could  triumphantly  refer  objectors  to  the 
passage  in  his  book  in  which  he  commends 
Turbervile  by  name. 

I  will  deal  with  these  four  passages  now. 

In  two  places  (pp.  181  and  262)  Puttenhani 
treats  of  Histeron  proterofi,  ur  the  Pre- 
posterous, A  manner  of  disordered  speech 
when  one  nusplaces  words  or  clauses,  end 
sets  that  before  which  should  corne  behind, 
that  is,  setting  the  cart  before  the  horse. 
He  says  : — 

*'  This  vice  is  soim-lime  t<01orable  intiuglu  but 
it  the  word  carry  nwny  nutable  si-nce,  it  is  a  vicc> 
not  toUerable,  as  he  thai  said  praising  a  woman  for 
her  red  lippi-s,  thxis  : 

.4  corraU  lip  of  heixi. 
^yrixich  is  no  good  spiicch,  because  oitbor  bo 
lould  have  sayd  no  more  but  a  cnrrall  lip,  which 
hod  bene  inougb  to  de^'lare  the  rcMlneflee,  ur  via 
he  should  have  said,  a  lip  of  corrflU  how.  and  not  a 
corral!  lip  of  hpw.     Xnw  if  this  rder  be  in  a 

wliule  clause  which  curietli   mor  tence  then 

a.  word,  it  ia  then  worst  of  all.'* 

Thus  in  Turbervile*8  'Songs  and  Sonnet«/ 
Ac.  :—

Again : —

Now  all  this  while  the  critic  haa  been

Elsewhere  in  Turbervile  we  find  him 
using  "dampe"  as  in  the  passage  selected 
for  censure  : —

And  one  may  take  it  for  granted  that  he  did 
not  coin  the  word,  which  ia  very  supgostive, 
and  not  deser\'ing  of  condemnation.  It 
reminds  one  of  Shakespeare  ('  2  Henry  VX,*

l^Mk*ton,   the  Coroner  who    held  the    Inqulsi- 

examined  the  wittiesHes." 

In  1840  Bulwer  in  his  preface  to  a  new 
edition  of  his  novel  wrot«  : — 

Daring  Aram's  residence  at  Lynn,  his  reputa- 

for  le&ming  had  attracted  the  notice  of  my 

Eatber. .  .  .Aram       frequently       viaitiHl       at 

my     grandfather's     hmwo,     and     gave 

probably   in   no   verj'  elevated  braochcH 

Lition,    l-o    the    younger  members   of   the 

This  I  chanced  to  hoar  when  I  was  on 

in    Norfolk,  some   two   yeara   Iwfore   this 

WAS  published,  and  it  tended  to  increase 


the  interest  with  which  I  had  previously  spet'u- 
lated  on  the  phenomena  of  a  trial  which,  take 
it  altogether,  1a  perhaps  the  moat  rem&rkable  in 
the  register  of  English  crime.'* 

All  tlie  information  collected  by  the  novelist 
showetl  Aram  to  b©  '*a  man  of  the  miideet 
character  and  the  most  unexceptionable 
morals  "  : — 

"  An  invariable  gentleness  and  patience  Id  his 
mode  of  tuition — qualities  then  very  uncommon  at 
scliivib — had  made  him  so  beloved  by  his  pupils  at 
LjTin.  that  in  after  life  there  was  scarcely  cine  ol 
tliem  who  did  nut  persist  in  the  beliut  in  his 
innocence." 
He  had 

**  a  singular  eloquence  in  conversation — an  active 
tondemeas  and  charity  to  tiio  poor,  with  whom 
he  was  always  ready  to  share  his  own  scanty 
means^-an  apparent  disregard  to  mnuey,  except 
when  employed  in  the  purchase  of  books." 

Bulwer*8  investigations  had  at  this  time 
led  him  to  the  conclusion  that  the  leeal 
evidence  was  extremely  deficient,  and  in  the 
edition  published  by  Messrs.  Chapman  & 
Hall  in  1849  he  states  that  he  had  con- 
vinced himself  *'that»  thouRh  an  accom- 
plice in  the  robbery  of  Clarke,  ho  [Arnml 
was  free  both  from  the  premeditated  design 
and  the  actual  deed  of  murder,"  Buluer 
altered  his  novel  accordingly. 

In  the  Sixth  Series  of  *  N.  &  Q/  are  several 
important  references  to  Eugene  Arsm.  On 
the  Ist  of  January,  1881,  Mb.  F.  W.  Jov 
Bupphes  an  unpublished  letter  of  Eugene 
Aram's,  dated  from  London,  July  Iflth, 
1754,  In  this  Aram  mentions  that  his  situa- 
tions had  been  various,  and  that  he  was 

•■  Tutor  3  years  to  the  sons  of  a  ffauiily  of 
distinction  in  Berks  it  in  other  Imploymeuta  of 
that  kind  4  yeara.  With  the  money  arising  thence 
I  went  over  into  fTrance  a  Tour  partly  of  curiosity 
A  partly  of  profit  in  which  having  visited  Bnan 
Paris  Ac.  &  even  blois  &.  Orlenns  I  ucquind  the 
Language  which  is  now  at  once  an  extraordinarj- 
recom'endatiou  &  benefit  to  me. 

Mb.  Joy  remarks  that  "in  the  narrative 
of  his  Hfe,  which  he  wrote  after  his  con- 
demnation, he  omitted  all  mention  of  his 
\i8it  to  France." 

On  the  17th  of  November.  1883,  G. 
Winter  is  informed  that  accounts  of  Eugene 
Aram  may  be  found  in  the  '  Biograj:hia 
Britannica,'  ed.  Kippis  :  '  Geniune  Account 
of  the  Trial  of  Eugene  Aram,'  London.  1759  ;

On  the  17th  of  January,  1885,  Fbancesca.

•'  AvEBAOE." — It  is  generally  agreed  tiiat 
this  word  is  composed  of  the  widely  spread 
mercantile  Mediterranean  word  avaria  -\- 
aufllx  'oye  (see  '  N.E.D./  and  Skeat's  *  Et\-m 
Diet./  ed.  1910).  In  '  N.E.D.*  we  find  that 
one  of  the  technical  senses  of  the  EngUsh 
word  *'  averagti "  is  "  the  expense  or  loss  to 
owners,  arising  from  damage  at  sea  to  the 
ship  or  cargo."  I  think  it  can  be  shown  that 
the  original  notion  of  the  Mediterranean 
word  avaria,  with  which  modem  etymologists 
connect  our  "  average."  was  damage  or  loss. 
This  is  certainly  the  principal  meaning  of 
avaria  in  the  Romanic  languages.  In  Portu- 
guese avaria  means  "damage  to  a  vessel  or 
cargo  "  ;  cp.  Fr.  avarie,  "  dommugo  arriv^ 
&  un  vaisscau,  ou  aux  marchandises  dont 
il  est  charge  dopuis  le  depart  jusqu'au 
retour  *'  ('  Diet,  de  VAcad.,'  1786) ;  also 
It.  avaria,  "  a  sca-phrose,  viz.,  a  consumption 
or  distribution  of  the  loss  made,  when  goods 
are  cast  away  on  purpose  in  a  storm  to  save 
the  vessel "  (Florio). 

Now  what  is  the  etymology  of  tliis 
Mediterranean  word  avaria,  which  appears  to 
have  the  general  meaning  of  **dommage 
Arriv6  k  un  vaisseau,  &  des  marchandises  "  ? 


Dozy,  in  liis  *  GloHsaire,'  p.  217,  has  no  doubt 
whatever  about  the  derivation  of  this  word  : 
*'I1  est  tres-certaineinent  d'origine  arabe." 
As  an  Arabic  etjTnology  has  been  summarily 
dismissed  by  *N.E.D.'  and  Skeat  in  their 
accounts  of  the  word  *'  average/"  I  will  copy 
out  what  Dozy  has  to  say  in  its  favour,  fie 
derives  avaria  from  Arab,  '^au'dr,  lose,  damage, 
and  says : — 

"  n  ne  faut  pas  croire  que  'ouvtr,  pris  en  ce 
sens,  est  un  o^logisme  ;  il  appartient  aa  eontraint 
ii  la  langue  ara>ie  classique,  dans  laquelle  on  dit 
'  uno  mnrchandise  gui  a  iin  defaut  {'auAr).^  Les 
mnrchanils  it^ilions,  par  suito  dos  rclatiuns  (r^ 
qucntf'H  qu'ils  avaiont  avw  lea  Arabcs,  ont  adopts 
le  mot  'atrilr,  qui  ^tait  Fort  en  usage  dans  Is 
coiuuiurce  ;  c«  qui  Ic  pn^uve,  c'eat  que  les  passages 
que  Ducangp  donne  sous  avaria  sont  emprunt^ 
h  dcs  df»euiiiont8  gf^^nnis  ot  pinann.  CVst  ausai 
par  l'entr*»ini8P  Acs  Italicns  que  re  mot  s'est 
uitn:>duit  dans  presque  toutes  les  laUKues  euro* 
pdennes. — I>a  traijacription  avaria  est  bonne ; 
td  est  la  terminnison  itAlienne.  On  trouvc  cette 
fomie  dans  un  dorunirnt  cuttilan  de  1258  (aptid 
Capniany,  *  Meniorias  so1>re  la  marina  de  Barce- 
lona/ Li.  27)." 

I  do  not  see  any  valid  reason  for  rejecting 
the  account  of  avaria  given  by  this  eminent 
scholar.  All  the  uses  of  ar^ria  and 
*'  average  '*  may  be  easily  deduced  from  the 
primary  meaning  of  damage  or  loss.  This 
radical  meaning  was  also  common  Semitic, 
and  may  be  traced  in  the  Hebrew  root 
"duxir.  which  is  foimd  in  the  special  sense  of 
loss  of  eyesight,  bUndness. 

It  may  be  noted  that  the  form  of  the 
English  word  "  average  '*  with  the  suffbc 
-age  is  due  to  the  analogy  of  **  poundage,*' 
"tonnage/*  ** pilotage/'  and  other  com- 
mercial terms.  A.  L.  Mayhew,

Toe  Names. — I  have  some  remembrance  of

of  fanciful  names  given  by  childr««i  (or 
nurses)  to  their  toes.  The  following  may 
therefore  interest  some  readers.  The  nanves

Slovene  Hymn. — The  words  of  the  hymn 
sung  by  the  Slovenes,  "  Naprej  zastava 
slave"  (*'On  high  the  glorious  standard  *'), 
were  written  by  the  poet  S.  Jenko  in  1859. 
The  melody,  I  read  in  a  Bohemian  Sokol 
journal,  was  composed  by  Davorin  Jenko  at 


of  75,  on  16  May.  1860,  and  has 
completed  its  half -century,  (T 
n  verse  rendering  of  this  hyinn 
in  ftmusical  joumAl  a  few  months  ngo.)  The 
opoing  verses  and  tune  are  full  of  martial 
■idoor.  but  the  later  are  in  a  different  vein — 
tfav  appeal  of  a  weeping  mother  and  the 
ooiwojfitory  words  of  a  warlike  Bon.  It  ih 
related  that  Davorin  Jenko  long  sought  to 
eoQipo«e  a  suitable  melody,  but  in  vain. 
HwffiTig  of  some  German  aggression  in  a 
TicimA  caf^  frequented  by  Slovene  students,

WESTMINSTER  CATHEDRAL  : 

ALPHABET  CEREMOl^. 

(11  8.  u.  49.) 

The  *York  Pontifical."  Surtees  Society, 
vol.  bd.,  under  *  Dedioatio  Ec-clcsim,* 
pp.  69-61,  gives  this  ceremony  of  the 
Cbfphabet.  The  bishop  is  to  write,  "cum 
baculo/'  the  Greek  alphabet  in  sand,  or  in 
ashes,  on  the  pavement,  from  the  left 
corner  east  to  the  right  comer  west.  The 
names  of  the  letters  are  set  down,  26  in 
number,  and  the  numbers  I  to  10,  then 
by  tens  to  100,  then  by  htmdreds  to 
1,000.  and  last,  by  thousands,  to  '*  ocato- 
stochile."  The  arrangement  and  spoUing 
are  peculiar.  Next,  from  the  right  comer 
east  to  the  left  corner  west  was  to  l>e 
written  the  Latin  alphabet.  Hei-e  was  left 
a  blank  for  it  in  the  manuscript,  the  bishop 
being  presumed  to  know  it.  The  accouj- 
panying  '  *  Oratio  "  refers  to  Moses  on  Sinai 
receiving  the  two  tables  of  stone  written  by 
the  finger  of  God,  and  the  bishop  beseeches 
the  acceptance  of  the  prayers  of  those  who 
pray  upon  this  pavement  **  in  quo  ad  instru- 
mentimi  fidei  nlarum  divinarum  caracteres 
literarum  a  duobus  angulia  hujus  domus 
usque  in  alios  duos  depinximus  anguJos.'* 
It  is  to  be  concluded,  therefore,  that  ut  an 
earlier  time  the  letters  were  those  of  the 
Hebrew  alpliabet. 

Many  instances  of  the  alphabet  on  bells, 
fonts,  pa\ing-tile8,  &c.,  and  extracts  from 
ancient  writers  about  its  use  at  consecra- 
tions, are  to  be  found  at  3  S.  x,  351  (363  in  the 


General  Index  is  an  error),  426,  4H6  ;  xi. 
184,  449  :  4  S.  i.  349 :  6  S.  iv.  187  ;  7  S. 
ii.  309.  411;  iii.  Ill;  x-  346;  xi.  134. 
To  these  I  can  add :  Archaeoloffiar  xxv, 
243;  Eelitjuaryy  1871,  xi.  129-32;  *  Hand- 
book to  the  York  Museum,"  1891,  p.  156  ;  and 
the  books  on  bells  by  Lukia  and  Raven. 
There  is  an  alphabet-tile  in  Holy  Trinity 
Church,  Hull.  A  testator  in  1431  bequeatla 
'*  unimi  coUok  pece  argenti  cum  scrintura  in 
cooperculo  ^.  §.  C."  (*  Test.  Ebor./  li.  13). 

Another  uBe  of  the  Greek  alphabet  wai 
as  a  precept  in  gentility  :  "  that  an  angry 
man  should  not  set  hand  or  heart  to  any 
thing  til  he  had  recited  the  Greek  alpliabel, 
for  by  that  time  the  heat  of  choUer  would 
he  alaide  "  (Kinge.  '  lonas,'  1697,  p.  541). 
*'Thi8  was  Augustus  his  cure.  Prescribed 
by  the  philosopher  (Atliwuxl.).  U  you  be 
angry,  say  over  the  alphabet  before  you 
speak  or  do  anything  "  (Brough,  -  Manual 
of  Devotions,*  1659,  p.  237  ;  Macleane, 
'  Horace.'  1863,  p.  108  n.). 

The  Greeks  had  a  pastime  of  framing  ft 
sentence  with  the  24  letters  of  the  alphabet, 
each  used  once  only  (Jebb,  *Bentlev,'  1882, 
p.  15).  W.  C.  B. 

Mgr.  L.  Duchesne  in  *  Onginee  du  Cults 
Chretien  *  refers  to  this  alphabet  ceremony 
(English  translation,  S.  P.  C.  K.,  1903, 
p.  417)  :— 

*'  Slg.  de  Roael  pointA  out  interosting  relatiou 
between  this  singidar  rite  and  certain  ChrUtiav 
monuments  on  which  the  alphabet  appca 
to  have  a  syniboUcal  signiflration.  Ho 
removed  all  doubt  ue  tv  th?  iden  nhich  sugge«t«d 
the  ceremony.  It  corpcsponds  with  the 
possesaion  of  land  and  the  laying  dowa 
bouodarlea.  The  saltire,  or  Ht.  Andrew** 
(crvcc  decuaaata),  upuu  wlijch  the  bishop 
the  letters  of  the  alphnbot,  rocalU  the  two  trazu- 
verso  lines  which  the  Roman  surveyors  traced  in 
thv  first  instance  on  the  lands  they  wiabed  to 
measure.  The  letters  written  on  MiIh  ltosb  are  a 
rcminisconee  of  the  numerical  signs  which  were 
roraVjined  with  the  tranffversc  lines  in  order 
determine  the  perimeter. 

**  The  series  formed  by  these  letters  moreorer 
that  ia,  the  cuUre  alphabet,  is  only  a  sort  of  ex- 
pansioD  of  the  mysteriouB  contraction  i(  0 ,  just

that   we   know  for  certain  that  it  was  the

Walter  W.  Skeat, 


John  Brooke,  Fepteenth-Centctiy  Baa- 
RtSTEB  (11  S.  ii.  69). — John  Brooke  was  one 
of  the  Serjeants  called  to  the  coif  in  Novem- 
ber, 1510.  being  the  first  call  after  the 
accession  of  Henry  VHI.  The  list  of 
Serjeants-at-law  towards  the  close  of  the 
reign  of  Henry  VII.  and  the  early  years  of 
that  of  Henry  VUI.  is  somewhat  imperfect, 
so  that  it  is  possible  that  some  of  those 
included  in  the  cell  of  1510  may  have  been 
originally  appointed  under  H«iry  VII. 
John  Brooke  was  never  himself  a  judge,  but 
wTis  father  to  Sir  Da^^d  Brooke,  Serjeant- 
at-law  in  1547,  and  Cliief  Baron  of  the 
Exchequer  from  1553  till  hia  death  in 
1658. 

John  Brooke  was  chief  steward  of  Olaston- 
burj'  Monastery,  resided  at  Canj-ngo  House, 
Redclj'ffe,  Bristol,  and  married  Joan, 
daughter  and  heir  of  Kichard  Ajiiorike.  He 
died  25  December.  1522,  and  was  buried  at 
St.  Mary  Redclyffe.  It  is  not  stated  to  which 
Inn  of  Court  ho  belonged,  but  as  it  was  to 
neither  Gray's  Inn  nor  Lincoln's  Tmi,  nor, 
apparently,  to  the  Inner  Temple  (his  son 
Dn\'id's  Inn),  it  is  all  but  certain  that  ho 
would  be  identical  with  the  barrister  of  that 
name  who  was  a  Bencher  and  Treasurer  of 
the  Middle  Temple. 

Your  correspondent  in  making  this  John 
Brooke  a  judge  has,  I  think,  confused  him 
with  Richard  Brooke  of  the  Middle  Temple, 
who  was  called  to  the  coif  at  the  same  time 
as  hia  namesake  John,  was  Recorder  of 
London  1610-20.  M.P.  for  London  1512 
and  1515.  Justice  of  the  Conmion  Pleas  1520, 
and  Cliief  Baron  of  the  Exchequer  1526 
till  his  death  in  1529.  W.  D.  Pink.

author  of  that  charming  book  *  The  Pil- 
grimage of  the  Tiber,'  was  an  old  friend  of 
mine.  I  do  not  know  any  facts  concerning 
his  intimacy  with  the  D.  G.  Kossetti  circle, 
but  he  probably  knew  one  member  of  it 
at  least,  viz.,  Stillman,  the  American,  who

of  Omar  Khayyam)  is  still  living  in  Home,  I 
fancy  ;  he  was  DaWes's  great  friend  in  the

T.  L.  Peacock's  Plays  (II  S.  ii.  27). — 
Two  nlays  translated  by  Peacock  were 
pubHaned  in  one  volume  in  1862.  Their 
titles  were  *  Gl'  Ingaiuiati '  (enKliahcxl  aa 
*■  The  Deceived :  a  comedy  jiorformed  at 
Siena  in  1531  M  And  *  .^lia  LaUa  Crifluis.'  A 
notice  of  thetie  plays,  according  to  Allibone. 
appeared  in  The  Athenceurn.  1862,  ii.  305. 
Copies  of  the  volume  may  be  found  in  the

St.  Lbodeoaiiics  Afa>  the  St.  Lsoeb 
Stakes  (IIS.  ii.  66). — ^Except  indirectly  as  a 
patronymic  of  a  Norman  family,  the  saint 
nflfl  nothing  to  do  with  horae-racing.  The 
St,  Leger  Stakes  were  founded  in  1776  by 
Anthony  St.  Leger,  a  nephew  of  the  first 
Viscount  Doneroile ;  he  wa6  a  Major- 
General  Colonel  of  the  Seth  Foot,  M.P. 
for  Grimsby,  and  died  in  1786  s.p.  The 
St.  Leger  family  is  one  of  the  oldest  in  the 
kingdom,  a  Seynt  Leger  being  mentioned 
in  Brompton's  'Chronicle'  amongst  the 
Normans  who  came  over  with  the  Con- 
rmeror ;  in  fact,  it  is  traditionally  reported 
tnat  this  warrior  (>.a.  St.  Leger)  had  the 
ilistinguished  honour  of  helping  the  Con- 
queror out  of  the  boat  when  he  landed  in 
this  country.  John  Hodosin. 

The  famous  contest  at  Doncaster  was  not 
instituted  in  pious  memory  of  St.  Loode- 
garius,  but  was  named  after  Col.  St.  Leger. 
The  patronymic  is  no  doubt  due,  however 
indirectly,  to  the  popularity  of  the  martyr- 
bishop.  St.  SwrrHiN. 

Is  there  any  connexion  ?  The  race  takes 
its  name  from  Col.  St.  Leger.  See  a  state-

St.  Agatha  at  Wimborne  (US.  ii.  29). — 
Among  the  relics  formerly  preserved  in 
VVimbomo  Church  was  part  of  the  thigh  of 
the  blessed  Virgin  Agatha,  who  is  apparently 
identical  with  St.  Agatha.  Virgin  and 
Martyr,  but  who  dwelt  in  the  city  of  Catania 
in  Sicily.  No  mention  is  made  in  Mrs. 
Jameson's  *  Sacred  and  Legendary  Art '  of 
her  having  been  educated  at  Wimborne. 

J.    HOLDEN    MacMicHAEI., 

The  following  sentence,  quoted  from  *  The 
Catholio      Eacyclopsedia, '     i.     204,      seems 


eminently  sensible  :  "If  there  is  a  kernel  of 
historical  truth  in  the  narrative  [relating  to 
St.  Agatha],  it  has  not  as  yet  been  possible 
to  aift  it  out  from  the  later  embellishments." 
It  may  also  be  pointed  out  that  some  five 
centuries  intervened  between  St.  Agatha 
and  St.  Lioba.  Scores.

Let  me  say  again  that  they  are  the  result 
of  no  research,  but  only  a  by-product  of  work 
which  was  directed  to  another  object.  Never- 
theless, they  make  a  good  beginning  towards 
exhibiting  the  condition  of  provincial  book- 
BcUing  as  distinct  from  printing.

Some  reader  may  yet  explain  the  origin 
of  the  following  place-names  : — 

Follifoot  or  FoUyfoot,  Follv  Hall  Folly 
Gill,  all  in  the  West  Hiding  of  Yorkshire. 

Folly  Bridge.  Oxford.  Surely  this  bridge 
was  never  reputed  to  be  a  costly  structure  on 
an  ill-chosen  site.  And  it  hsA  no  leafy

TirrNDERrNG     Dawn     in    Kipung    and 

Francis  Thompson  (11  S.  i.  467).— May  one 
not  suppose  that  both  poets  are  referring  to 
the  old  classical  fable  of  the  chariot  and 
horses  of  the  sun  ?  They  are  drawing  their 
imagery  from  a  common  source.  It  is  un- 
necessary to  imagine  any  obli%'ious  *'  taking 
over "  by  the  one  from  the  other.  In 
harmony  with  the  legend,  one  naturally  i 
expects  to  hear  the  sound  of  hoof-beats  ■ 
before  the  chariot  actually  appears,  which,  1 
being  interpreted,  may  perhaps  mean  that 
as  day  breaks  and  the  shadows  of  darkness 
flee  away,  the  world  bestirs  itself  and  begins 
to  prepare  for  strenuous  toil.  The  clanging 
or  thundering  sound  nuay  be  taken  to  refer 
to  the  awakening  of  nature  to  noisy  activity 
after  the  hush  and  stillness  of  the  night. 

W.  s.  s. 

The  idea  that  the  sun's  movements  or© 
accompanied  by  a  shock  or  sound  is  not 
peouhar  to  ony  one  coimtry.  According  to 
Tacitus,  the  Germans  belie\'ed  that  the  sun 
made  sounds  in  setting.  The  Pythagorean 
idee  of  the  "  music  of  the  spheres  '*  seems 
also  to  come  under  this  heading.  Goethe 
refers  to  solar  music  twice  in  his  *  Fauat '  :  in 
the  'Prolog  im  HimmeP  and  in  the  first 
scene  of  Act  I.  of  the  Second  Part.

Bibliography  of  London  (11  S.  i.  407,

A  bibliography  of  London  might  be  com-

at  the  second  reference  I  followed  what  may

be  called  the  topographical  method*  including 
only  such  publications,  or  parts  of  publica- 
tions, as  dealt  with  London  exciuMJvely.  The 
other  and  more  complete  method,  appa- 
renth^  approved  by  ilR.  Abrahams,  would 
include  every  book,  pamphlet,  or  8ixifi,\e  sheet 
published,  printed,  or  written  in  London, 
no  matter  what  its  theme — everything,  in 
short,  that  bore  the  word  "  London  "  any- 
where on  its  title-page — from  the  days  of 
Caxton  down  to  the  present  hour.  This 
wider  bibhographical  outlook  is,  I  think, 
quite  leffitimate,  and  would  cover  what 
might  be  considered  a  complete  bibliography 
of  Jx>ndon.  comprising  not  only  every  book 
dealing  with  the  capital,  but  every  species 
of  printed  matter,  historical,  topographical, 
antiquarian,  theological,  scientific,  and  artist- 
tic,  published,  prints,  or  written  within  its 
bounds.  In  my  ovm  case,  in  attempting  the 
compilation  of  a  bibliography  of  a  Scottish 
county  according  to  this  wider  method,  I 
found  that  a  very  large  section  of  Scottish 
literature  was  embraced  within  the  scope  of 
the  work.  On  the  same  plan,  which  I 
believe  with  Mr.  Abbahams  to  be  the  right 
one.  the  vast  majority  of  English  printed 
books,  metropolitan  and  provincial,  as  well 
as  a  huge  ma^sa  of  foreign  literature,  would 
fall  to  be  included  in  a  bibliography  of 
London.  To  this  wider  plan,  however,  the 
objection  is  that  human  life  is  too  short 
for  any  single  person  to  achieve  a  task  so 
stupendous.  W,  S.  S. 

Windsor  Stationmaster  (U  S.  ii,  68).— 
Perhaps  L.  L.  K.  is  thinking  of  a  man  who 
wrote  his  oxporiencea  under  the  pseudonym  of 
"  Ernest  Struggles."  I  remember  the  book, 
and  how,  when  going  to  \n8it  one  of  the 
servants  at  Windsor  Castle,  he  took  a  wrong 
turn,  and  foimd  himself  in  Queen  Victoria's 
dining-room.  The  preface  was  dated  from 
Caversham.  I  forget  the  precise  title  of  the 
book.  Great  Western. 

The  book  referred  to  by  L.  L.  K.  is.  1 
think,  '  Life  of  a  Stationmaster,'  by  Ernest 
Struggles,  published  in  1879.  A  second 
part,  entitled  'Ernest  Struggle«,'  was,  I 
believe,  pubb'shed  in  1880.  It  is  many  years 
since  I  saw  the  books,  and  I  forget  the  real 
name  of  the  writer,  but  re<:ollect  that  the 
G.  W.  R.  felt  displeasure  at  their  publication.

"  The  Holy  Cbows,"  Lisbon  (11  S.  ii.  67). 
— ^Beckiord's  statements,  where  oa])ah]c  of 
being  tested,  are  found  to  be  wholly  in* 
accurate. 

St.  Vincent  was  not  **  martyrized  near  the 
Cape  which  bears  his  name,"  but  at  Valentia. 

His  mangled  body  was  not,  though  the 
major  portion  of  his  relics  were,  "conveyed 
to  Lisbon  in  a  boat,  attended  by  crows." 
This  was  in  1139.  and -St.  Vincent  suffered 
in  304.  It  is  therefore  impossible  that 
''these  disinterested  birds. ..  .pursued  his 
murderers  with  dreadful  screams  and  tore 
their  eyes  out.'* 

The  probability  is  that  Beckford's  com- 
mand of  Portuguese  was  insuiticiont  to 
enable  hiiu  to  follow  what  the  sacristan  told 
him. 

The  two  crows  kept  near  the  Cathedral 
uf  Ldsbon  in  1787  have  a  parallel  iu  the 
bears  kept  at  Bom  at  the  present  day. 

John  B.  W'AmEA^'BiGHT. 

The  descendants  of  "The  Holy  Crows" 
are  still  kept  in  the  cloisters  of  the  Cathedral 
St  Lisbon,  and  I  saw  them  there  when  visiting 
the  Cathedral  in  March  laet.  The  legend, 
as  told  to  us,  is  that  St.  Vincent  was  first 
buried  at  the  cape  which  bears  his  name, 
where  the  crows  watched  continually  over 
his  crave.  When  his  bones  were  removed 
to  the  Cathedral  at  Lisbon,  the  crows  are 
said  to  have  followed  them.

Two  crows  are  still  maintained  in  honour-

are  attractively  commemorated  in  blue  and

Sir  Henry  Dudley  tho  conspirator,  about 
whom  two  other  correapondente  write  at 
the  second  reference,  and  who.  according 
to  the  'Dictionary  of  National  Biography.* 
was  "apparently  "  third  son  of  Jolm  Sutton 
de  Dudley,  seventh  Baron  Dudley. 

The  Henry  Dudley  asked  about  appeara 
to  have  been  a  son  of  John  Dudley,  Viscount 
Lisle,  Earl  of  Warwick,  and  Duke  of  North- 
umberland, and  grandson  of  the  infamous 
Edmund  Dudley,  one  of  the  **  horse-leeches  " 
of  King  Henry  VII.  Apparently  the 
'  D.N.B.'  is  wrong  in  giving  the  Duke  of 
Northumberland  only  five  sons  and  two 
daughters.  According  to  Burke,  '  Dormant 
Peerages,*  1866.  p.  180.  he  had  bv  his  wife 
Jane,  daughter  of  Sir  Edward  Guilford  (ate), 
Kt.,  fieven  sons  and  two  daughters,  viz.  : — 

1.  Henry,  who  died  at  the  siege  of 
Boulogne. 

2.  John,  Earl  of  Warwick,  who  rf.v.p.  *.p. 

3.  Ambrose,  created  Earl  of  Warwick. 

4.  Lord  Guilford  {sic),  who  married  La<ly 
Jane  Grey. 

5.  Robert,  K.O.,  created  Baron  of  Den- 
bigh and  Earl  of  Leicester. 

6.  Henr>',  slain  at  St.  Quintin  (sic), 

7.  Cliarles,  who  died  young. 

1.  Mary,  who  married  Sir  Henry  Sidney, 
K.G. 

2.  Catherine,  who  married  Sir  Henry 
Hastings,  Earl  of  Huntingdon. 

The  *  D.N.B.*  agreea  wth  Burke  in  making 
Lord  Guildford  the  fourth  son  ;  but,  by  a 
curious,  though  evident  double  error,  it  also 
designates  Ambrose  and  Lord  Henry  (who 
died  at  St,  Quintin)  each  as  the  fourth  son

of  John.  Duke  of  Northumberland-  Two 
of  the  sons  were  evidently  lost  sight  of 
owing  to  thtnr  early  deaths.  Were  there 
yet  other  cluldren  ?  Mr.  Eoebton  Gab- 
DiXER  in  hJR  query  Rays  that  John  had 
thirtet'n  children,  of  whom  two  were  named 
Henrj'  (tl\is  o^n"eee  with  Burke,  u.b.)  and  two 
Katherine.  What  is  his  authority  for  this 
statement  T  These  Henries  and  Katherinea 
are  but  further  instances  of  the  puzzling 
custom  of  giving  the  same  name  to  two 
brothers  or  to  two  aistors  which  has  recently 
been  discussed  in  '  N.  &  Q.* 

Let  us  come  back  to  the  eldest  aoiu  the 
elder  Henry,  who  is  stated  to  have  been 
killed  at  the  siege  of  Boulogne.  This  must 
have  been  on  14  September,  1544,  when 
Bouloj^e  was  taken  by  King  Henry  \^TI. 
(Kaydn'a  '  Index  of  Dates  *).  Ah  his  father 
is  believed  to  have  been  bom  about  1502 
— only  42  yeArs  before — Henry  must  have 
been  young,  and  probably  unmarried,  at  the 
time  of  YuB  death.  He  died  nine  years 
before  the  marriage  of  his  brother  Guildford 
with  Lady  Jane  Grey  (1553)  and  the  con- 
spiracy to  place  her  on  the  throne,  and 
could  not  therefore  have  been  involved,  as 
were  liis  father  and  brothers,  in  the  con- 
spiracy. Is  Mb.  Gardiner  right  in  calling 
hira  *'Sir  Henry?"  Burke  and  the 
'  D.N.B.*  do  not  give  him  this  title. 

As  to  his  younger  brother  Henry  there  is 
some  confusion.  G.  H.  W.  in  his  rejtly  culls 
him  the  *'  youngest  **  son  (he  was  no  doubt 
the  youngest  then  li\ing),  and  adds  that 
*'  ho  was  killed  at  «t.  Quentin  in  1558." 
The  *  D.N.B.'  in  the  life  of  Iiis  father  (xvi.  Ill) 
makes  him  the  6fth  son.  and  states  that  he 
was  slain  at  the  battle  of  St.  Qtientin  in 
1555.  In  the  Supplement  to  the  *  D.N.B/ 
(ii.  160)  he  is  designated  the  fourth  son.  and 
the  date  of  his  death  is  given  as  10  August. 
1557.  This  last  date  is  evidently  the  correct 
one,  for  St.  Quentin,  Aisne,  France,  was 
captured  by  the  Spaniards  on  the  day  of 
St.  Lawrence,  1557  ( '  Encyclopsedia  Bri- 
tannica/  9th  ed.,  xxi.  197  ;  Supplement,

(11  S.  ii.  29).— The  same  entry  about  Mel- 
mont  l>errie8  in  given  in  the  *E.  D.  I).,* 
auparently  taken  from  Jainieson.  Ko  ex- 
planation of  the  meaning  is  offered  .  So  far 
OS  is  known.  Melmont  as  a  place-name  does 
not  occur  in  Morayahire.  There  is,  how- 
ever, a  hill  in  GaLston  parish,  Ayrshire,  which 
bears  the  name  Molniont,  sometimes  called 
Melmont.  In  Gaelic  the  name  would  be 
derived  from  maol,  bare,  and  in<madh,  hill= 


the  bare  or  bleak  hill-  If  J&mieson  lA 
correct  in  saying  that  Melmont  is  a  word 
used  in  Morayshire,  it  has  there,  presumably,. 
tlie  Gaelic  signiBcation.  Hence  Melmont 
berries  will  mean  literally  bare-hill  berries  or 
berries,  such  as  the  juniper,  growing  wiH 
on  a  hillside.  W.  S.  S, 

Jamieson  probably  uses  a  local  name  for 
this  fruit,  afl  it  is  not  mentioned  by  brttanists. 
The  (M\\y  book,  so  far  as  I  am  aware,  in 
wliich  it  appears  (and  then  with  a  slight 
change  in  the  spelling)  is  A.  B.  Lyon»*»

Prince  Bishop  op  Basle,  1790  (11  S.  iL 
flS). — This,  the  last  Prince -Bishop,  was  Jofaa- 
Sigmund  von  Roggenbach.  who.  like  all  hit 
predecessors,  was  a  Catholic.  His  territory 
was  tiUTied  into  the  Kauracion  Re^jublic, 
wliich  after  four  months  was  incori>oroted 
(1793)  in  the  French  Republic.  In  1816 
the  Congress  of  Vienna  pave  the  territory'  of 
the  diocese  to  the  cantons  of  Bern  and 
Baale.  with  the  exception  of  the  portion 
already  lielonging  to  Germany. 

The  last  Prince-Bishop  to  reside  in  Bo&le 
was  Christopher  of  Utenham  (1502-27). 
See  the  interesting  article  on  '  Basle-Lugano, 
Diocese  of,'  in  the  *  Catholic  Kucyclopaedia.* 
After  the  Reformation  the  capital  of  tfo» 
bishopric  waa  Porrentruy ,  where  was  tlie  chief 
episcopal  residence.  The  bishop  also  owned 
Schloss  Buseck  above  Arlesheim,  and  after 
the  begiiming  of  the  eighteenth  century  a 
summer  residence  at  Oel^mont. 

It  is  surprising  in  a  book  publitshed  IB 
1816  to  find  the  Prince-Bishopnc  treated  M 
still    subsisting.     In    '  The    Swiss    Tourist,*

A  page  each  on  Gonluns,  and  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots,

The  current  issueof  The  QuarUrtff  Review^  which 
apt>eared  late  in  July,  has  a  spociallv  intereeiinfc 
article  on  'The  Character  of  Kin^  Edward  VII.,* 
in  which  private  lupers  in  the  royal  arohives  of 
Windsor  Castlo  have  been  used.  The  young  princo 
was  ooafrontod  with  a  Bchenie  of  education  which 
was  most  careful  and  praiseworthy,  and  also 
sineularly  oppressive,  one  toioks.  to  the  human  boy 
And  younK  man.  A  striking  letter  from  Sir  Henry 
Butwer  supplies  hintfi  as  to  the  late  Kind's  gifts  in 
«arly  days.  Dr.  A  W.  Verrall's  article  od  '  The 
VtoK  of  Walter  Scott' is  brilliant  and  attractive, 
like  alibis  writing,  and  it  fortifies  the  view  long 
held  by  the  writer  of  thcso  notes  that  Scott  was  at 
his  beat  a  groat,  if  unconHcious,  arUst  in  style.  Dr. 
Verrall  analyses  the  charm  of  that  inconiparablu 
short  stop' in  *  Redgauntlet,'  *  Wanderina  WilHe'd 
Tale,'  which  Stevenson  oould  not  rival.  Mr.  F.  G. 
Aflalo's  article  on  *  The  Genius  ot  the  Ri%er'  is

jeot  of 'Birds  and  their  Colours,'  i.e.,  trie  reasons 
whiah  have  been  alleged  for  special  coloration. 
Mr.  Edwyn  Bevan  has  an  excellent  subject  in  *  The 
First  Contaot  of  Chri«tianity  and  Paganism,'  but 
his  field  of  inciuiry  is  more  restrintctl  than  hi^i  title 
suggests.  A  second  article  on  'Sociah'sm  '  ia  ini|ior-

RICHARD   GEM. 


>  Gem.  the  only  aon  of  Richard  Ggiu. 
hn   of   Worcestershire,   was  bom  at 

Hall  in  the  jiarish  uf  BroniKgrove. 
e  is  no  entry  of  his  baptism  in  the 
epieter.  Niwh  in  hia  '  History  of 
i>tr«hire '  (i.  164)  Rayft  that  "Mr. 
iirininghamisnow  lord  of  the  Manor 
>rd  (in  Bromsgrovo],  where  ho  has 
I  of  160/.  per  ann."  Thesonwas  bred 
>use  of  William  PhiUpH,  clerk,  in  the 
rorceeter.     Philipe  took  the  defiree  of 

Oriel  College.  Oxford,  in  1704  : 
rtor  of  All  Saints.'  Worcester,  from 
715  J  Vicar  of  St.  Peter's.  Worcester, 
»  latter  3rear  until  1741  ;  and 
)l  Brotnsgrove  from  1741  to  1754. 
ttributor   to  The  Monthly  Magazine 

fvol.  U.  pp.  138-9}  supplies  some 
inibcences  of  Gem  under  the 
,  but  in  the  index  the  name 
Tiy  i:jvea.  He  was  not  fond  of  the 
system  of  education,  but  sought  the 
9Q  **of  a  neighbouring  ficentleman 
rifled  as  a  freethinker,    who  had    in 

Eged  to  leave  the  Univorsity  of 
hero  ho  had  graduated)  for  his 


openly-avowed  penchant  to  Unitarianiam.** 
This  preceptor  put  translations  of  the 
works  of  Helvetius  and  Kuusseau  into  the 
youth*8  hands,  wliich  inspired  him  with 
the  desire  of  reading  them  in  their  ori^nal 
ianguape,  and  ho  learnt  French.  This  intro- 
duction to  the  philosophical  literature  of 
France  coloured  tne  rest  of  his  life. 

On  12  June,  1735.  when  aged  10,  Gem  was 
admitted  pensioner  at  St.  Jolrn's  College, 
Cambridge,  when  Dr.  Williams  became 
his  tutor  and  surety  ('  Admissions  to  St. 
John's.'  Pt.  III.,  I9()3,  ed.  Scott,  p.  80); 
but  be  seems  to  have  left  without  taking  his 
degree.  Wo  shall  probably  not  orr  in 
drawing  the  inference  that  he  was  not  in 
sympatliy  with  the  system  of  instruction 
wliicxi  was  then  imposed  on  youth  ut  the 
University.  His  "  fond  parent  *'  had 
pointed  out  the  study  of  the  law  as  the  most 
profitable  for  him,  but  he  put  the  suggestion 
on  one  side,  and  studied  French  and  physic 
together. 

In  1741  there  waa  published  in  London 
a  little  tract  of  54  pages  bearing  the  title  of 
'*  An  Accoimt  of  the  Remedy  for  the  Stone 

lately    published    in    England .  extracted 

from  the  examinations  of  this  remedy,  given 
into  the  Royal  Academy  of  Sciences  at  Paris, 
by  M.  Morand  and  M.  Geoffrey.  By  Richard 
Gem  of  the  University  of  Cambridge."  This 
deacription  shows  that  he  was  not  at  that 
time,  when  he  waa  25  years  old,  possessed  of 
any  medical  degree,  and  I  am  not  acquainted 
with  the  nature  uf  liis  subsequent  qualifica- 
tion. Probably  it  was  from  a  foreign,  if  any, 
imiversity.  His  name  does  not  appear  in  Dr. 
Munk*8  volumes  on  the  members  of  the 
London  College  of  Physicians,  nor  does 
it  occur,  says  Mr.  Victor  G.  Plarr,  librarian  of 
the  Royal  College  of  Surgeons,  **  in  our 
college  books  Iwtween  the  years  1745-83.'' 
Mr.  Plarr  therefore  concludes  that  he  was  not 
a  member  of  the  old  Corporation  of  Surgeons. 
It  is  stated  in  2^he  Monthly  Magazine  that 
Gem  was  known  to  and  noticed  by  the  Karl  of 
Hertford,  who  gave  him  permission  to  visit 
Paris  and  to  enjoy  the  advantages  of  con- 
nexion with  the  embassy.  Unless  this  were  a 
temporary  visit  only  the  statement  con- 
flicts with  that  recorded  by  the  first  Earl  of 
Malmesbury  in  his  diary  (November,  1706), 
after  a  call  from  Gem.  that  *'  he  came  to 
Paris  in  1751  with  Lord  Albemarle.'*  The 
Monthly  Magazine  aneedotist  chronicles  that 
Gem  obtained  through  the  favour  of  Lord 
Stormont  the  practice  of  the  sick  English  at 
Paris.  His  professional  income  was  birge, 
his  prescriptions  were  simple.  Tlio  patient 
could  even  tell  from  them  the  nature  of  the

diBoase  from  which  ho  waa  suffering.  Gom 
became  physician  to  the  embasay  at  Paris  in 
1762  on  the  appointment  of  the  Duke  of 
Bedford  as  amoassador  to  France. 

For  the  rest  of  his  days  Gem  was  domiciled 
in  that  country.  His  waa  a  striking  per- 
sonality, for  he  was  six  feet  and  two  or  three 
inches  in  height,  of  an  athletic  h\iild,  and 
when  over  70  as  upright  as  a  dart.  When 
ho  was  82  he  was  very  stout.  Ho  was 
admitted  into  tho  most  brilliant  society 
of  Paris,  becoming  verj'  intimate  with  the 
Encyclopcedists  and  with  many  of  the 
leading  Englishmen  who  were  admitted  to 
its  salons.  Benjamin  Franklin  and  Thomas 
Jefferson  were  his  intimate  friends.  A 
letter  from  the  latter  dated  New  York. 
4  April,  1790,  is  in  [J.  Wright's]  '  Biog. 
Memoir  of  Huskisson.'  pp.  8-9.  and  a  second 
letter  to  him  is  in  '  Jefferson's  Memoir  and 
Correspondence  *  (ed.  T.  J.  Randolph),  iii.  32. 
Sterne  in  1766  wrote  to  Dr.  Jemm  of 
Paris  introducing  [John]  Sjnnonds  to  him, 
and  giving  details  of  his  winter  in  Italy. 
Mr.  W.  L.  Cross  in  his  '  Life  of  Sterne  '  hesi- 
tatingly suggests  this  to  bo  Dr.  A*  A. 
Jamme  of  Toulouse,  who  sometimes  resided 
at  Paris.  I  ara  inclined  to  think  that  it  was 
Dr.  Gem.  Horace  Walpole  refers  to  him 
in  the  letters  which  he  wrote  from  Paris 
in  1765  and  1766.  and  George  Selwyn 
received  a  letter  from  him  in  the  former 
year  in  which  he  intijnated  that  he  was 
coming  with  Baron  D'OIbach  to  dine  with 
Selwyn,  and  looked  forward  with  pride 
to  '*  the  honour  of  meeting  Lord  March.'* 
He  was  devoted  to  Selwyn,  and  figures 
constaixtly  in  Dr.  W^amer's  letters  to  his 
patron,    being   playfully   dubbed  by  him   as 

Roger."  Warner  sometimes  expresses  his 
anxiety  lest  he  should  be  suspected  by  Gem 
of  a  desire  to  supplant  him  in  Selwyn's 
good  graces. 

The  allusions  to  Gem  by  Warner  show 
that  he  took  things  seriously.  In  fact, 
ho  said  to  Walpole  in  1765  :  "  Sir,  I  am 
aerioiis,  I  am  of  a  very  serious  turn."  He 
was  a  rigid  disciplinarian  and  parsimonious, 
and  it  was  noted  us  a  trait  in  his  character 
that  he  allowed  no  eating  between  breakfast 
and  dinner  in  tho  evening.  His  parsimony, 
however,  did  not  restrain  him  from  acts  of 
kindnoes  and  generosity.  Walpole,  when 
writing  to  him  in  April.  1776,  deflcribes  him  as 
"  no  less  esteemed  for  his  professional  know- 
ledge than  for  his  kind  attention  to  the  poor 
who  applied  to  him  for  medical  assistance.*' 
Ten  years  later  (1786)  Gem  was  exerting 
himself  in  gettinj;  books  for  Walpole. 
The    mother    of    William    Huskisson    the 


statesman  was  Gem's  favourite  niece.  H 
died  in  1774  (when  William  was  in  j 
fifth  year)  leaving  four  sons.  The  fatl 
married  again,  when  Gem  expressed  I 
desire  that  the  two  elder  sons,  one  of  wh< 
wae  William,  should  be  assigned  to  ] 
keeping,  and  in  1783  they  were  ollowed 
return  to  Paris  with  him  ;  but  their  aoquaj 
tance  with  Kngland  was  maintained  by 
annual  visit  which  he  and  tho  two  boys  pi 
to  their  native  land.  To  his  watcni 
care  and  constant  encouragement  in  stu 
were  due  tho  successful  training  of  Husk 
son's  abilities  and  the  strain  of  enhghten 
thought  which  was  conspicuous  in  his  politic 
career.  It  is  generally  said  that  tho  futy 
politician  was  intended  for  the  medical  pi 
fession,  and  that  ho  actually  began  tho  atiM 
of  medicine.  But  through  the  influence 
Warner,  then  chaplain  to  the  Englij 
embassy,  he  was  introduced  to  Lord  Gowl 
and  thus  secured  an  opening  into  the  liigh^ 
cirolee!  of  political  life,  which  resulted  in 
lasting  aUiance  with  Canning,  and  a  leadq 
place  in  that  statesman's  Cabinet.  (See  i] 
Eight  Friftnds  of  the  Great,'  where  thenjo) 
is  incorrectly  printed  Robert  Gem.) 

Gem  was  a  staunch  republican,  and  m 
in  complete  sympathy  with  the  Fren< 
Revolution.  Even  the  brilhant  victories  i 
Bonaparte  did  not  shake  liis  faith  in  repi^ 
lican  principles.  He  was  doubtless  t| 
"  Ghym  anglais"  who  in  1792  present^ 
l.OOO'  francs  to  the  Patriotic  Fund;  bl 
this  did  not  prevent  liis  arrest  in  1793  aa.

in  tho  police  records  as  *'  Gesme."  For  ni] 
days  he  was  detained  at  the  Luxembour 
and  was  then  transferred  to  the  Scot< 
College.  After  a  short  release,  prohahl 
under  the  decree  of  3  November,  IjW 
exempting,  on  account  of  tho  ar-^ts.if*  ,

eight  lines  quoted  from  the  *  Anthologia

No.  866,  "  HabomuB  confitentCTQ  reum." — 
It  ia  curious  that  King  should  have  cont«Dt«d 
himself  with  styling  tiny  a  law  maxini.  Arefer- 
ence  ought  to   he.\e  bwn  added    to  Cicero,

the  style  of  Mark  Twain,  but  an  eighteenth- 
century  French  wit  is  one  of  the  la^t  persons 
from  whom  to  expect  an  intelb'gent  appre- 
ciation of  either  iscaliger.  The  remark  of 
which  the  above  is  a  ludicrously  perverted 
version  was  made  by  J.  J.  Scaliger.  What 
he  disbelieved  waa  the  statement  that  the 
inhabitants  of  Wales  and  Brittany  could

A.N.  Q. 

VEntTLAMtrM. — Some  months  ago  it  was 
annotmced  that  excavations  were  to  be 
undertaken  to  disclose  the  ancient  Roman 
city  by  St.  Albans,  and  I  hope  the  rumour 
that  the  project  may  be  abandoned  is  not 
true.  In  connexion  with  this  subject  two 
quotations  may  prove  interesting.  Quo  is 
irom  Speuser*s  ^Ruincs  of  Time*  (1591)» 
'*!  '•  representing  the  genius  of  Ver'lam  : — 

I  was  that  citie.  whioh  the  garland  wore 
Of  Britaine'fl  pride,  delivered  unto  me 
By  Romaue  vjctors,  wliich  it  wonne  of  yore  ; 
Though  nought  at  all  but  ruines  now  X  be, 
And  lye  in  mine  owne  ashes,  as  ye  see : 
Ver'Ume  I  was  ;  what  bootcs  it  that  I  was, 
Sith  DOW  I  am  but  weedes  and  wa»tefnll  gnu? 

The  other  is  from  Slichael  Drayton's  *Poly- 

Olbion'  (1612):— 

Thou  sAw'st  when  Verlam  onoe  ahead  aloft  did 

>)car. 
(Which  in  her  cinders  now  lies  sadly  buried  here) 
With  alabaster,  tuch,  and  jiorphyry  adorned 
When  (well-nearj  in  her  pride  great  Troyuovant  she 

sooro'd. 
Thou  Haw'st  great  bnrden'd  ships  through  these 

rhy  vftUipH  pa.>*i», 
Wh«i-«  now  the  sharp-edg'd  scythe  shears  up  the 

spiring  grass : 
That  where  the  ugly  seal  and  port>oise  us'd  to  play. 
The  grasshopper  and  ant  now  lord  it  all  the  day  : 
Where  now  at.  Albau'a  stands  was  called  Holmhurst 

then  ; 
Whotio  sumptuous  fane  we  see  neglected  now  again.

Snails  Aft  Food. — ^Mr.  Baring-Gould  and 
Mr.  Harry  Hems  have  been  WTiting  in 
The  Guardian  on  the  excellence  of  cooked 
snails.  T  have  come  on  the  following  note 
about  them  in  '  Table-Talk,  or  Selections 
from  the  Ana'  (1827).  at  pp.  292-3.  It  is  due 
to  the  memorandum-making  pen  of  Robert 
Southey  : — 

"ThatMa'cenaa  of  Cookery.  Sir  Kenelm  Digby, 
who  is  rememljered  for  so  many  odd  tbingp,  waa  one 
of  the  peraous  who  introduced  the  great  shell  snail 
[Ilefix  Pomaria)  into  thin  country  as  s  delicacy. 
He  disjwrsefl  the  breed  aljoulGothurst,  biaseatneor 
New]<ort  Pftfinel :  but  the  merit  of  first  importing 
it  is  due  to  Charles  Howard,  of  the  Arundel  family. 
The  faslviou  seems  to  have  token,  for  that  grnteful 
and  great  master  oook  Robert  May  has  left  several 
reoeiiita  for  dressing  snails  among  the  secrets  of  hia 
fifty  years*  experience.  Snails  are  still  sold  in 
Covent-Garden  as  a  remedy  for  consumptive  people.

I  cannot  say  that  snails  Btrike  me  as  being 
very  delightful  item  of  a  menu.  I  ventured 
kn  them  when  travelling  in  Burgundy,  and 
was  diaappointetl  that,  instead  of  being 
tender,  glutinous  morsels,  they  proved  to  b^ 
tough,  tasteless,  and  unintoresting.  Frogs 
are  excellent — one  is  led  to  wish  that  they 
had  more  flesh  on  their  little  bones — but 
snails  need  deeper  gu8t«tor>'  culture  than

"St.  Switiitn's  TninrTE.— A  curious  custom 
which  has  existed  at  Old  Neston,  Hunta,  from  time 
immemoriaL  has  again  been  observed.  The  church 
JB  dedicated  to  St.  Swithin,  and  on  the  Sunday 
nearest  to  .St.  Swithin's  iJay  the  edifice  is  strewn 
with  new-mown  hay.  The  traditiun  iu  that  an  old 
lady  be<iueiithed  a  field  for  charitable  purpoaes  on 
condition  that  the  tenant  provided  the  hay  to  lessen 
the  annoyance  caused  by  the  R«iueakinK  of  the  new 
boola  aportod  by  the  villanera  on  Feai-t  Sunday. 
There  an?  two  other  explanations :  one  that  it  i» 
an  offerinff  of  the  first  fruits  of  the  hay  harvest,  and 
another  that  it  is  a  mirvival  of  the  custom  of  strew- 
ing the  church— when  the  lloor  was  only  beaten

Speakeb's  Chaib  of  the  Old  House  or 
Commons. — In  reading  the  liistory  of  a  local 
Masonic  lodge  I  have  found  a  remarkable 
record  of  the  temporary  use  of  the  historic 
Speaker's  chair  of  the  old  House  of  C^immons, 
on  the  occasion  of  the  Nisit  of  the  Duke  of 
Sussex  to  Sunderland  in  1839.  The  deecrip- 
tive  account  was  taken  from  a  London  news- 
paper, and  also  from  the  pages  of  a  Masonic 
publication,  whose  representative  came 
North  to  report  the  Royal  Duke's  proceed- 
ings. In  this  report  we  have  the  story  of 
the  celebrated  chair  : — 

"  After  bft\'ing  been  lod  into  the  room  by  the  Earl 
ofpurh*m,  Hia  Royal  HighneM  rested  himself  for 
a  few  n)onient«  iii  a  oommodious  chair  which  had 
been  provided  for  the  oocasion.  and  which,  it  ia 
reported,  was  formerly  the  ISi>eaker^fi  chair  in  the 
old  House  of  Commons,  preserved  from  the  lire 
which  destroyed  the  two  Houses  of  Parliament  in 
1834.  This  curious  relic  was  purchased  by  a  i>ro- 
fesaioiittl  man,  a  resident  in  Sunderland,  and  after- 
wards presented  by  him  to  the  Corjioration." 

This  story  is  corroborated  by  the  local 
newspaper  in  its  report  of  the  ceremony  : — 

•'The  eoet  end  of  the  News  Room  of  the  Ex- 
change was  used  by  a  raided  platfopro.  in  the  centre 
of  which  wasjilaoed,  for  the  use  of  the  Koyal  Duke^ 
*  the  awful  seat'  from  which  Sir  Charles  Manners 
Sutton  called  ' Order  1  Order!*  to  the  noisv  Com- 
monora  of  England  iu  Parliament  assembled.'^ 

It  will  thus  be  seen  tliat  the  story  is  given 
without  any  reserve  or  doubt  as  to  the  chair 
being  the  real  seat  of  the  Speaker  of  the  old 
House  of  Commons  :  yet  I  have  been  unable 
to  secure  any  personal  information  or 
municipal  record  of  such  a  chair  in  the 
borougn.  I  shall  be  glad  if  any  of  the 
readers  of  '  N.  tk  Q.'  can  give  information 
as  to  the  disposal  of  the  Speaker's  choir  after 


the  tire  at  the  old   Houses  of  Parlii 
1834.     On    the    occasion    of   the

Mtodklton  ;   *•  Dbef  "  :    "  Plas  *'  (II  S.

["  (pT.  trave)  is  the  same  as  the  present 
'of  the  English  "town."  and  both 
ttaed     alike     in     place<names.      "  Tre- 
."  for  instance,  is  the  exact  equivalent 
Morris-ton."     In   place-names   and   in 
speech  tho  /  is  often  dropped,  as 
■^li    "Tre-fach"     (Little-ton),     "Tre-fran" 
r*ton),  "Tre-herbort "  {Herbert's Town). 
Tre-niadoc  "  (Madoc's  Town).     The  / 
"      »ed     in     "  Tref-eglwys "     (Church- 
Tref-pam  "  (Caim-ton),*' Tref-nant " 
^Itertifi  of  the  hollow),  Ac. 

h  aD  these  examples  the  adjective  or 
iMHMivo  foUowB  the  noun,  as  it  generally 
•«»  Numerals  are  an  exemption,  *'  can- 
^^  (not  "cantre/^")  being  '*  cant-tref," 
•  h«dred  (literally  a  hundred  tun«), 
Sm>     compound     worda     also     present 

3 lions.     Thus     "y      tir     canol         (the 
y   land)   becomes   in    composition    '*  y 
Ottol-dir  **  (the  Mediterranean). 

In  full  *'  the  middle  town  "  would  be  '*  y 
(if«f  ganol,"  and  '*  tho  middle  of  the  town  *' 
vould  bo  '*  caqol  y  dref."     I  know  a  village 


which  has  two  farms,  **  Oanol-dre "  and 
"  Pen*i8ba*r-dre  "  (the  middle  and  the  lower 
end  of  the  village). 

"Plas"  moans  a  palace,  mansion,  hall, 
not  a  place.  There  is  no  connexion  between 
it  and  "  tref."  '*  Pl&s  Canol"  means  the 
middle  mansion.  Da\id  Saigon. 

Swansea. 

The  radical  form  is  not  "  dref,"  but 
"  tref,**  "  dref  "  being  merely  the  lenation 
of  this.  '*  Canoldref  '*  is  a  perfectly  correct 
form,  "  tref  "  lenating  to  "  dref  *'  in  accord- 
ance with  the  rule  (adjective  preceding  the 
noun).  There  are  several  words  of  this  form 
in  Welsh,  e.g.,  *'  canoldir,"  midland  ; 
"  canolfor.**  Mediterranean  Seo.  William 
Myddelton  is  called  by  Gweirydd  up  Rhys  in 
his  '  Hanes  Llenyddiaeth  Cymreig  '  ('His- 
tory of  Welish  Literature  ').  p.  330,  **  Gwil>Tu 
Ganoldref*  (not  "  Canol-dref,"  the  word 
being  treated  as  an  epithet,  and  lenated 
accordingly).  Whether  any  place  is  actually 
called  *'  canoldref "  where  in  English  it 
would  l>e  "  Middleton,"  or  whethet-  William 
Myddelton's  name  is  an  invented  bardic 
name  only,  I  am  tmafale  to  isay. 

Where  does  *'  C^ntref  "  occur  as  a  place- 
name  T  It  aeems  a  curious  name.  The 
word  aignifiee,  as  Mb.  Mvddelton  says, 
a  territorial  division,  "  hundred." 

"Tref"  and  "  Plaa "  are  cjuite  distinct 
in  me^ming.  The  former  signifiea  a  home- 
stead, and  then  a  to^iTi,  hke  tun  ;  the  latter* 
a  palace,  hall.  *'  Plaa  Canol "  therefore 
could  not  be  equivalent  to  "  Canoldref." 
For  other  instances  uf  "tref"  as  a  suffix 
cf.  *'  hendref  "  (old  homestead,  winter  dwel- 
ling, as  opposed  to  "  hafotty,"  summer 
dwelling),  Ac.  H.  I.  B. 

According  to  Owen  Fughe*B  Welsh- 
English  dictionary  of  1S32,  "  tref  "  means  in 
Welsh  a  dwelling-place,  homestead,  town : 
*'  As  the  name  of  a  single  house,  it  answers 
to  the  English  ham.  The  adage  is  quoted, 
f.i.,  *  Nid  tref  ond  nef,'  there  is  no  dwelling* 
place  but  heaven.*'  Al.  Macbain,  in  hw 
Gaelic  etymological  dictionary,  identifies 
Cynu-ic  or  Welsh  "  tref,"  a  homestead,  in  its 
origin  with  Old  Irish  freb,  a  dwelling,  and 
witn  Latin  triimst  trcbua,  a  tribe,  connecting 
it  also  with  Eng.  thorp, 

"  P1b«  "  is  defined  by  O.  Pugbt\  i.e.,  as  a 
large  edifice  or  hall,  and  may  be  probably 
akin  to  Latin  palatiwn,  regarded,  primitively, 
as  a  place  where  cattle  feed.  During  my

In  answer  to  the  Question,  "  Is  *  Gwilym 
Canoldref  ■  good  Welsh  T  "  I  am  told  by  a 
native  Cjrmrio  friend  that  it  correctly  renders 
"Williflun  Middleton."  In  answer  to  the 
further  (Question,  *'  la  there  a  difference  in 
Bigniiication  between  '  tref '  and  '  plas '  T  " 
I  learn  from  the  same  source  that  nowadays 
**  tref  ^'  conunonly  denotes  a  number  of 
houses,  village,  or  town,  and  "  plas "  a 
single  abode  or  mansion.  Thus,  for  mstance, 
the  name  given  to  a  Welsh  private  residence 
is  '*  Plas  y  Derwen,'*  i.e.,  Oakham.  But 
"  tref,"  when  used  in  the  compound  noun 
*'Car-tref"  {cam  trOnu),  is  also  applied  to 
denote  a  single  dwelling-place,  or  home. 
This  name  is  frequently  met  with  as  that  of 
a  Cymric  house  (cf.  Owen  Pughe,  I.e.). 

H.   KSEBS. 

* '  Canoldref  "  is  an  exact  translation  of 
"Middletun."  William  Middleton  used  the 
name  **  Uwiiym  Canoldref  "  himself,  and  it 
was  the  name  generally  used  by  his  Welsh 
bardic  contemporaries.  As  a  general  rule  in 
Welsh,  when  an  adjective,  or  a  noun  used 
as  an  adjective,  is  connected  with  another 
noun,  the  adjective  follows  the  noun,  thus 
**Tref  Ganol/'  the  Middle  Town;  "Tref 
Fewydd,"  New  Town  ;  but  when  the  words 
fcro  formed  into  one  compoimd  the  adjec- 
tive leads,  as  in  "Hendi'ef  or  Hendre."  a 
very  common  place-name  in  Wales,  meaning 
the  Old  Town  or  homestead. 

As  to  thf.^  difference  between  ''  tref  '*  and 
"  plas,"  the  latter  invariably  mrana  a 
palace,  so  Plas  Canol  means  the  Middle 
Palace,  there  being  in  the  same  neighbour- 
hood a  Plas  Uchftf  (Higher  or  Upper  Palace) 
and  Plas  Isaf  (Lower  Palace).        D.  M.  R. 

The  Plas  Heaton  mentioned  in  the  query 
is  the  seat  of  the  old  fantily  of  that  name  ; 
so  aleo  Plas  Clough  and  Plas  Pigot  are  or 
were  the  residenoes  of  the  ancient  families 
of  those  names,  all  in  or  near  Denbigh.

J.  Faber  (H  S.  ii.  69).— There  wore  two 
artists  by  the  nainu  of  J.  Fabor.  father  and 
son,  and  each  of  them  called  John. 

John  Faber  the  elder  was  born  in  Holland* 
where  he  acquired  a  knowledge  of  the  art  of 
mezzotinto  engraving.  Subsequently  he 
came  to  Englejid,  and  died  at  Bristol  in 
May.  1721. 

The  younger  John  obtained  a  high  reputa- 
tion aa  an  engraver  in  mezzotinto.  He  lived 
in  London,  where  be  is  believed  to  have 
died  in  1756. 

Both  father  and  son  are,  however,  too  early 
for  Mr.  Anscombe*s  date.

Sir  Matthew  Philip.  Mayor  op  London  : 
Sprott's  Chronicle  (118.  ii.  24.  73,  04}.— 
Sprott  tho  chronicler  lived  in  tho  thirteenth 
century,  and  certainly  did  not  record  events 
which  happened  nearly  two  centuries  after 
he  ceased  to  write.  All  we  know  of  the  docu- 
ment from  which  Mb.  John  Hodokin  quotes 
with  the  preface  **  Sprott  writes  "  is  that 
it  is  bound  in  the  same  volume  with  Sprott*a 
Chronicle,  and  that  its  editor,  Tnomaa 
Heame,  says  (p.  xl)  that  he  received  the 
document  from  which  it  is  printed  at  the 
hands  of  a  learned  friend  ("  reperi  in  uodice 
MS.  vetusto  mihi  porrocto  at  amico  por- 
erudito  ").  Mr.  Hodokin's  identification  of 
the  anonj'mous  chronicler  with  Sprott  is 
therefore  manifestly  out  of  court. 

Fc^yan  did  not  \vTit«  that  John  Stone 
was  Mayor  in  1465.  This  is  a  misreading 
on  the  part  of  Mr.  Hodokin.  Stone  was 
Sherifi  in  that  year,  but  he  was  never  either 
Mayor  or  Alderman. 

As  to  the  value  of  Mr.  Hodgkin*3 
authorities,  no  competent  scholar  would 
accept  Fabyan  as  infallible  In  matters  of 
minute  detail,  and  we  have  no  data  for 
estimating  the  value  of  the  document  which 
Mr.  Hodokin  erroneously  attributes  to 
Sprott.  But  Gregory  not  only  was  a  con- 
temporary of  Philip,  but  had  also  been  his 
coUeague  as  an  alaerman.  and  he  expressly 
states  that  no  other  citia^ia  than  tho  five  ho 
names  were  made  Knights  of  the  Bath  in 
1465. 

We  have  material  for  testing  the  respective 
statements  of  Gregory  and  Fabyan. 

Gregory  pives  five  names — Wyche,  Coke, 
Gosselyn,  Plomer,  Whafyr.

Fabyan  gives  foiir — Cook,  PhUip,  Jos* 
^yne,  Wauyr. 

The  anon^tnous  chronicler  agrees  with 
Fabyan  (even  in  the  order)  exoept  for 
orthographic  variations. 

It  will  be  eet^n  that  Gregory  omits  Philip, 
and  the  others  omit  Plomer  and  Coke. 

I  need  not  trouble  *X.  &  Q.*  with  proofs  in 
the  case  of  the  three  namee  common  to  both 
lists,  though  I  ha^•e  thorn  before  me.  With 
regard  to  Wvche,  he  is  described  as  "  miles/* 
21  July,  U68  (Guildhall  Records,  Journal  7. 
lo.  175  b).  So  also  Plomer  is  called  *'  miles  '* 
4  February,  1468  (Husting  Roll  197  (26)  ). 
and  4  July.  1468  (Journal  7,  fo.  175). 

On  the  other  hand,  Philip  is  not  described 
as  "  miles "  in  any  record  at  Guildhall 
e«rUer  than  1471,  and  moreover  in  Husting 
Roll  198  (20).  under  date  20  June,  1468, 
he  is  deacribed  as  *'  Aldermannua  "  simply, 
without  the  addition  of  "miles.'*  which  is 
invariably  found,  where  it  is  applicable,  in 
Husting  Roll  entries.

Only  three  alJuaiona  to  Col.  Skelton, 

wife  and  family,  occur  in  O'Meara's 

)n  in  Exile/  6th  ed..  1827,  2  voU. 

these  it  may  be  gathered  that  Mrs.

rterwards  Napoleon's  residence)  dur- 

months  in  each  year  for  four  or 


five  years  previoiia  to  the  illustrioua  captive's 
arrival  in  the  island.  Mrs.  Skelton  is  accused 
of  having  prejudiced  the  Emperor's  mind 
against  Longwood  on  the  ground  of  its 
unheolthiness.  Her  husband*  Col.  Skelton. 
was  in  all  likehhood  in  the  service  of  the 
East  India  Company.  St.  Helena  being  at  the 
time  one  of  the  Company^s  jwsseeaions. 
He  was  probably  the  same  as  the  John 
Skelton  who  in  June,  1814,  was  returned  as 
Lieutonant-Colonel  commanding  the  6lh 
Bengal  Native  Infantry,  a  regiment  which 
had  acquitted  itself  with  distinction  at  the 
capture  of  Seringapatam.  On  1  November, 
1817,  he  was  gazetted  Colonel  of  the  same 
regiment,  and  on  19  July,  1821.  was  raised 
to  t  he  rank  of  Major-General.  In  1832 
he  was  returned  as  being  on  furlough,  but 
after  that  date,  so  far  as  I  can  ascertain,  all 
trace  of  him  disappears.  He  was  probably 
descended  from  the  Bkeltoos  of  Cumberland.

Revolution  to  the  End  of  George  I.'s  Reign,* 
1806,  vol.  iii.  p.  268,  e.v.  William  Hucks, 
is  another  version  of  the  second  epigram 
which  I  gave  at  the  laat  reference  : — 

The  king  of  Great  Uritain  was  reckon'd  before, 

Tbe  head  of  the  church,  by  all  good  Christian 
I>eoplc : 
But  hia  brewer  has  added  Rtill  one  title  more 

To  the  real,  and  has  made  hioi  the  head  of  the 
steeple. 

According  to  Noble,  William  Hucks  was 
"  brewer  to  the  household "  ;  M.P.  for 
Abingdon  in  1701  and  1714,  and  for  Walling- 
ford  in  the  throe  following  ParUamenta  ;  and 
died  4  November,  1740. 

Noble  says  : — 

"I  believe  it  was  him  l&ic]  who  waa  taken  notice 
of,  when  mounted  on  a  beautiful  hunter,  by 
Lewis  XV.  The  monarch  en(|uired  who  he  woa.  A 
witty  nobleman  replied.  'Sire,  un  chevalier  de 
malt':  thus  punning  upon  theFrenohprouunciation 
of  Malta,  and  malt  used  in  brewing." 

William  Hucks  '*  was  succeeded  by  his  son, 
Robert  Hucks,  Esq.,  in  se\'eral  Parliaments,

A  atatue  ot  G*K>rge  I.  not  hitherto  referred

bench  of  the  Court  in  the  old  RoIIh  House,

Pmf*8  Statue  in  Hanover  Sqttabe  (US. 
ii.  85). — I  should  imagine  that  Pitt's  statue 
is  the  property  of  the  nation,  and  that  the 
recently  appointed  Inspector  of  Ancient 
Monuments  (Mr.  Chas.  H.  Peers)  would  be 
the  most  likely  person  from  whom  to  seek 
advice  concemmg  its  renovation.  The  statue 
has  been  described  by  more  than  one  writer 
as  in  many  respects  the  finest  in  T-ondtm. 
It  was  ongravoci  in  The  Penny  Magazine  of 
30  Juno,  1832,  and  in  The  Mirror  of  21  July. 
1832. 

The  interesting  reference  to  the  statue 
by  Peter  Cumiingham  in  his  *  Handb<5ok  of 
London '  may  perhaps  be  recalled.  He 
states  : — 

*'  I  was  preHent  at  itfl  ereotion  with  Sir  Franois 
Cbaiiirey  and  luy  father,  who  was  Chantrcy's 
tusifttaiiit.  The  atatue  was  placed  on  it«  nedestAl 
between  7  and  S  in  the  morning,  And  w-tulu  the 
workmen  were  away  at  their  breakfast,  a  rope  was 
thro\(^  round  the  neck  of  the  tifoire,  and  a  \igurous 
attempt  made  by  several  sturdy  Heformera  to  pull 
it  dow-n,  \N'hen  word  of  what  they  werp  Al>ont 
was  broufiht  to  my  father,  he  exclaimed,  with  a 
flmile  uiK>n  his  face,  'Tlie  cramps  are  leaded,  and 
they  may  puU  until  doomsday.'  The  eramrwi  are 
the  iron  bolta  faatening  the  statue  to  the  peactstal. 
The  attempt  was  soon  abandoned."

Francis  Peck  (11  S.  ii.  68). — Almost  all 
biographical  and  bibliographical  publira- 
lions  confound  the  two  Francis  Peck*.  With 
singular  luianiniity  they  describe  tlie  anti- 
quary OS  a  etudent  at  Trinity  College,  Cam- 
bridge, but  assign  his  graduation  dates 
correctly— 1715  and  1727.  G.  F.  R.  B.'s 
discovery  of  two  students  of  the  name  will 
therefore  help  to  correct  many  hoary  mis- 
statements. Probably  the  Francw  Peck 
about  whom  he  Beeks  information  was  also  a 
cJergyrnan.  In  Halkett  and  Laing's  '  Dic-

the  express  words  of  the  aacred  text,  ad  an 
aitfrapt  to  shew  the  beauty  ana  sublimity  of

Peok.     It  waa  pubUshed  in  1717  (Watt  says 


1716) — rather   an    early    and   unlikely    di 
for  the  antiquary  to  have  written  it.    Agi

'*  Sighs    upon    the   never   enough    lament

Milton.**  is  also  assigned  to  Peck  the  ani 
quary.    The  work  is  dated  1719,  and  pi 
on  its  title-page  to  be  by  *'   a  olergyman, 
the   Church    of   England."     Was    Peck

<«*■  4X1)    Fa1&I£S   (11    S.    ii.    65).— Sixty 
ago,  wboD  I  was  a  child  at  Brighton, 
broiberv  wore  petticoats,  as  I  did 
Via  were  seven  or  eight  years 


old,  at  which  age  we  were  "  breeched/' 
I  hftX'o  still  in  my  possession  a  silhouette  of 
us  ne  wo  appeared  in  those  days  (taken  on 
the  old  Cham  Pier)  ;  and  othra*  boys  were 
attired  in  a  similM*  manner.  I  reraeruber 
one  of  our  pla^onatcs  in  Sussex  Sqxiare  being 
kept  in  petticoats  by  his  mamma  until  he 
was  twelve  years  old,  which  c-aused  him  much 
chaff  from  boys  ana  girls  of  his  own  age. 

I  daresay  some  of  yonr  readers  can  corro- 
borate my  statement  as  to  boys  beins 
dressed  similarly  to  girls  at  that  period.  I 
never  beard  that  it  had  anything  to  do  with 
the  fairies,  but  '*  knicker-bockers "  were 
then  unknown  in  England.  D.  K,  T. 

Mb.  White  will  find  several  instances, 
from  Achilles  onwards,  of  the  practice  of 
putting  boys  in  petticoats,  m  Clodd*s 
'  Tom,  Tit,  Tot,'  where  the  motive  is  fully 
explained.  Evil  snirits  are  easily  deceived. 
I  Know  a  Com  inn  man  who,  huvini^  boon 
frightened  by  one  on  his  walk  into  the 
country,  borrowed  a  friend's  bat  and  coat

"  Th€  Ai/um(pum  and  yaUa  and  Queriet.  What  pleasant  thoughts  do  not  the^©  nam 
conjure  up  in  the  mind  of  every  litei-ary  man  !  The  venerable  mother  first  aaw  the  ligh 
more  than  fourscore  years  ago,  and  her  daughter,  *  N.  iS:  Q.'  as  it  is  fondly  called,  is  hi 
a  staid  matron  of  Bixty  or  thereabouts;  and  the  publisher  who  guards  the  interebt  of  iba 
both  hofl  now-  appeared  for  the  second  time  as  the  author  of  a  delightful  volume 
reminiscences,  arranged  under  the  modest  title  of  '  NOTES  BY  THE  WAY,'  and  publisbe 
at  10«,  6d.  by  MR.  FISHER  DNWIN,  Adelphi  Terrace,  London.  In  his  previous 
Mr.  Francis  toUl  the  inspiring  story  of  the  leading  critical  and  literaiy  organ ;  and  I 
the  book  befoi-e  us,  the  profiU  of  which  will  be  devoted  to  the  READERS'  PENSIO 
FUND ....  Mr.  Francis  tells,  in  his  pleasant  and  easy  style,  tlie  story  of  '  N.  *fc  Q.' . . 
Xote8  and  Queries  is  unique  among  English  papers.  From  the  first  issue  in  1849  it  wm 
success;  it  has  had  imitators,  but  never  a  rival. .  .  .So  successful  has  the  paper  been,  \ 
successfully  eonducted,  and  so  admirably  supported  by  the  best  men  of  the  day  in 
depai-tment,  that  as  an  oUa  podrida  it  is  now  simply  invaluable,  and  nobody  writing  on 
subject  under  the  sun  does  well  to  start  without  having  first  thoroughly  searched  the  indi 
and  files  of  Notes  aitd  Qttsries.  On  this  point  the  writer  can  speak  with  some  experienet 
for  the  preparation  for  *  Bye-gones  *  of  a  digest  of  the  "Welsh  references  has  revealed  a 
mass  of  intei-esting  and  important  matter  relating  to  the  Principality ;  and  it  will  be  hi 
privilege,  if  spared  to  see  the  end  of  a  pleasant  task,  to  have  run  the  eye  through  evei; 
oolumn  of  one  of  the  most  delightful  and  informing  journals  in  the  English -spoakia 
world .... 

**  The  best  proof,  perhaps,  of  the  suocees  of  *  N.  ^  Q.*  is  that  it  has  preserved  throughOQ 
its  long  existence  a  remarkable  homogeneity.  The  Utest  issue  is  quite  like  the  first  of  tl 
Series,  and  it  may  be  that  when  the  New  Zealander  looks  down  on  the  ruins  of  St.  PaqI 
he  may  still  be  able  to  purchase  his  copy  of  *  N.  <k  Q.'  unchangeable  and  uncharged." 

A.  M.  in  The  Western 


"The  volumes  of  iVbte*  and  Queries  are  an  island  of  knowledge,  piled  up  by  ten 
laborious  coral  insects  of    learning,  adding  each    his  grain  to  the  growing  heap, 
some  devotees  have  added  metaphorical  tons.     Almost  every  writer  upon  time 
past  in  England  must  consult  Notes  and    Queriss.     In  John  Collins  Francis's  *  Notei 
the    Way '....one  is  keenly  impressed  by   the  happy  comradeship  that  existed   amoi 

^K.  &Q.'    collaborators The   book   is    in    many   vrays  a  manifestation    of    Euglii 

character,  which  essentially  is  the  best  character  in  the  world.  There  are  heads 
acute,  there  are  heortU  more  impulsive  than  the  Englishman's;  yet  the  right  Engll 
heart  is  so  warm,  the  right  English  head  is  so  sound,  that  the  combination  is  general 
incomparable.     And  thia  is  an  Australian*s  opinion,  not  an  Englishman's."

Descnaizeaux,  8aint-£vTemond*s  acquain- 
tance and  biographer,  is  more  «>ecific  In 
the  first  edition  c»f  the  Life,  pre&«d  to  the 
Amsterdam  Edition  of  thf^  works  issued 
in  1706,  he  statea  definitely  that  Saint* 
E\Teraond  was  bom  on  1  ApHl,  1614 ;  but 
he  must  afterwards  liave  seen  reason  to 
change  his  mind,  as  in  the  Edition  of  the  Life 
prefixed  to  the  London  edition  of  the  workfl 
of  1709.  the  date  is  altered  to  1  April  1613  ; 
and  this  date  has  since  been  accepted  in 
most  biographical  notices. 

Unfortunately,  I  have  not  been  able  to 
discover  on  what  pounds  Desmaiseaux 
arrived  at  his  conclusions.  Though  devoid 
of  any  particular  gifts  as  a  writ4^r.  he  was  a 
careful  compiler,  and  had  evidently  taken 
great  pains  to  obtain  exact  particulars  as  to 
Saint-Evremond's  birth  and  parentage, 
placinc  himself,  for  that  pyirpose,  in  com- 
munication with  the  Abb^  Fraguier.  editor, 
or  one  of  the  editors,  of  the  Journal  dea 
Savants,  a  man  of  learning,  and  about  to 
become  a  lueuiber  of  the  French  Academy. 
Fraguier,  in  turn,  placed  himself  in  com- 
munication with  one  of  the  professors  at 
Caen,  and  after  some  months,  on  14  August* 
1707,  wrote  to  Desmaizeaux  as  follows  : — 

"Here  is  a  memo,  whioh  one  of  mv  friends  has 
sent  me  from  Caen  touohinc  hie  fS.-lS.  s]  family  and 
the  year  of  his  birth  :  and  this  is  all  that  a  man  of 
great  induntry,  who  is  in  cluae  touch  with  the 
people  of  M.  de  Sftint-fivremond'a  oouiitry,  hai

"Denet,"  dated  11  June,  1706.  and  letters  of 
Fra^ier,  dated  28  November,  1706.  and  14  August, 

iTcrr. 

The  memo,  in  question  I  have  not  been 
able  to  discover.  It  is  not,  so  far  as  I  can 
trace — and  I  have  looked  carefully — in  the 
nine  volumes  which  contain  the  Oesraaireaux 
MSS.  in  the  Birch  Collection  ;  nor  has  M. 
Daniob*.  who  seems  to  have  gone  over  the 
same  groimd,  been  able  to  discover  it  either 
(see  Appendix  A,  p.  147  of  *  Saint-E\Temond 
en  Angleterre,'  1 907 ).  The  edition  of 
Desmaizeaux'a  Life  as  published  in  1709 
differs  in  certain  particultirft  from  that 
published  in  1706.  and  though  the  Life  in  the 
edition  of  1709  is  dated  15  November.  1706, 
yet  I  have  no  doubt,  from  internal  evidence, 
that  Desmaizeaux  had  utihzed  the  memo, 
of  1707  in  making  9ome  at  least  of  the 
changes  in  question.  But  whether  the 
memo,  had  helped  him  to  change  1  April, 
1014,  to  1  April.  1613,  it  is  impossible  to  say. 

If,  then,  we  accept  the  latter  date  as  the 
real  date  of  birth,  we  do  so  on  Desmaizeaux *s 
ipw     dixit    alone.     Nor     did    that    satisfy

Saint-KvTemond*8  biotrraphers.  He  throws

reason  the  letter  to  Ninon  of  1608,  in  wliich 
S,-fi,  Raj's  he  was  then  88  ('  (Euvres  ni©I6e6 
do  S.-l6.»'  par  Charles  Giraud.  1865,  tome  i. 
p,  ziii.)>  But>  as  already  stated,  S.-E.*8 
own  letters  pive  an  uncertain  sound  ;  and 
also  it  is  pretty  clear  that  he  took  an  old 
man's  pride  in  bearing  hia  years  bo  well. 

Giraud  wrote  in  1866.  Three  years  later. 
Lipoid  Qu^nault — or  Quenault,  the  name 
is  given  either  way — a  local  antiquary  and 
administrator,  consulted  what  remained  of 
the  registers  of  the  Cormiittne  of  Saint- 
Denis -le-Gaet,  and  discovered  the  following 
entry  : — 

"  On  .1  January,  1614,  was  baptised  a  son  of  the 

noblo  and  nuiflaant  lord  Charles  do  Saint- Denis  dd 
Harabye,  cnAt^lain  of  tSaint-Denis-le-Gaat,  and  the 
■aid  »0Q  was  nut  naDi<d." 

On  this  Quenault  judiciously  observes  that 
if  S.-E.'s  mother  had  brought  him  into  the 
world  on  1  April,  1613,  nhe  could  not  well 
have  produced  another  child  by  the  5th  of  the 
following  January  ;  ao  that  the  former  date 
is  rendered  at  least  improbable.  Proceeding 
further,  Quenault  found  the  following  entry 
in  tho  register  : — 

"  On  the  20th  day  of  January.  1616.  was  baptized 
a  non  of  the  noble  fiire  nf  SAiot-Denis,  lord  and 
chdtdain  of  the  plac-c,  and  wa«  named  Charles  by 
the  noble  and  puittMUit  lord,  Charles  of  Matignon. 
Cotuit  of  Thorigny,  Governor  of  Normandy ;  and 
the  Rodmother  was  the  lady  wife  of  the  Baron  dc 
Honmel,  daughter  of  the  lord!  of  Carriay— the  whole 
in  the  preeenoe  of  several  K^^utlemen  and  noble 
ladles." 

Now  it  seeuiB  just  possible  that  S.-E.  was 
bom  in  1613  ;  baptiaed.  but  without  all  the 
due  foruiaUties — ttay  for  sudden  sickness — 
on  5  January,  1614  ;  and  the  ceremony 
completed  with  fuller  rites — the  presence  of 
the  Governor*  of  tho  province,  &c. — on 
20  January,  1616.  But  such  long  delays 
seem  improbable.  It  appears  to  be  more 
likely  that  the  Charlee  cnristened  in  1016 
was  born  at  a  later  date  tlian  1613,  and 
k  fortiori,  at  a  later  date  than  Giraud's  1610. 
Then  comes  the  question  of  the  identity  of 
the  ■'  Charles  "  of  1616  ;  and  with  regard  to 
this,  it  is  to  be  obscr\*ed  that,  so  far  as  is 
known,  the  only  son  of  the  chdielam  of  Saint- 
Denis  named  Charles  was  S.-fi.  Thus,  be- 
yond tho  probability  that  it  was  he  who  was 

•  The  Count  of  Thorigny  had  been  recently  ap- 
pointed. He  made  his  ofljoial  entry  into  Caen  in

christened  on  20  January,  1616,  we  are  in 
the  dark. 

Nor  do  subsequent  dates  help  us  much. 
The  first  precise  date  which  we  afterwards 
come  across  in  Desmaizeaux*s  nsurative  i» 
that  of  the  aieg©  of  Landrecy,  when  S.-6. 
got  his  company.  This  was  in  1637,  a  date 
when,  according  to  Giraud.  S.-fi.  would  be 
27  ;  according  to  Desmaizeaux  himself,  24  ; 
and,  if  we  take  1616  as  the  date  of  birth, 
21  or  22  ;  and  all  these  ages  are  possible, 
for  soldiers  began  young  in  those  day». 

Sainte-Beuve,  whom  few  things  escaped, 
reviewing  Giraud's  book  in  1868.  refers  to 
Qu^nault's  investiiratinnfl — which  ■will  bo 
found  recorded  in  the  BtdlHin  ds  la  Soci4ti 
des  Aniiquaires  de  Normatidie.  January, 
February,  and  March.  1868,  tomo  v.  p.  226, 
&c. — but  came  tu  no  conclusion  (see  artieki 
on  S.-E.  in  '  Nouveaux  Limdis,'  vol.  adii., 
edition  of  1870,  p.  428).  And  where  Saint©< 
Beuve  hesitated,  we  may,  I  think,  htvtitate 
too.  Personally.  T  incline  to  tliink  S.-£. 
was  bom  somewhoro  between  1614  and  1616, 
As  to  the  Ist  of  April,  it  seema  to  rant  on  no 
e\*idence  that  we  can  check.  Even  in 
Praguier's  time  parocliial  records  were  known 
to  bo  imperfect,  and  to  have  been  badly  kept, 
and  I  doubt  if  further  light  will  be  derived 
from    them.  Frank   T.    Makzials.

manuscript  form  may  be  amended  to  y  and  S 
respectively.  Grammatical  form  i-s  wanting, 
however  ;  and  even  if  we  inserted  the  a 
of  the  genitive  plm-al  (aa  if  ynelunga  ga), 
we  could  not  assign  a  meaning  to  -unffa. 
There  are  reasons  for  sup[>osing  that 
*jTiPtun**  represents  "  ynota.*'  In  some 
tenth-centur>'  A.-S-  MSS.  the  letter  o  was 
first  formed  like  w,  and  then  finished  by  a 
stroko  set  transversely  across  the  two  limbs 
of  that  letter ;  vide  B.  Thorpe's  facsmilei 
of  the  Corpus  MS.  of  the  '  Saxon  Chronicle,' 
where  half-a-dozen  instances  of  this  o  may 
be  found  in  the  last  eight  lines  of  annal  022. 
This  peculiarity  led  to  mistakes  in  copying, 
the  most  frequent  being  ti  and  it  for  a.* 
Another  possible  result  of  the  careless 
crossing  of  the  limbs  of  tho  u  would  be  the 
expansion  of  the  supposed  compendium 
*  u  '  a«  un.  This,  I  believe,  is  the  error  that 
lies  before  us,  and  for  yiietun  ga  I  would 
su1>stitute  I'jw/a  ga,  pro\'isionaUy.  This 
form,  though  granuuutical,  is  obscure. 

We  will  now  inquire  what  region  of 
1,200  hides  appears  to  liave  been  omitted 
from  the  list.  In  his  'Historia  Ecclesitu- 
tiea.'  IV.  xiv..  Bede  allots  1.200  hides  to  the 
Wight.  But  this  does  not  seem  probable. 
The  Wight  contains  only  94,068  acres, 
whereas  Anglesey,  which  Bede  reported  to 
be  assessed  at  060  hides  (II.  ix . ),.  has 
176,630  acree.  In  one  case  78  acres  go  to 
the  hide,  in  the  other  184.  Both  islands  are- 
agricultural,  and  whatever  may  be  said  for 
the  fruitfulness  of  the  Wight,  there  can  be 
no  question  of  the  fertility  of  Anglesey.  It 
was  anciently  the  granary  of  North  Woles, 
ond  its  name  in  Welsh  is  Mdn  rnam  Qyinru, 
**  Mona  the  mother  of  Cambria."  Mure- 
over,  the  list  includes  the  Isle  of  Wight 
under  the  name  of  WUUgara  [tofidj,  and 
osaesses  it  at  600  hides.  I  conclude,  there- 
fore, that  Bede  fell  into  some  error  in  this 
particular. 

Speaking  of  tho  Jutes  (I.  xv.),  Bede  dis- 
criminates between  "  e«  gens  quae  Uectam 
tenet  insulam  *'  and  '*  ea,  qua* — .lutoriim 
natio  nominatur,  posita  contra  ipsam  in- 
sulam..."  We  have  hero,  I  l>eheve,  tho 
explanation  of  Bede's  mistake  :  either  tho 
hidage  is  that  of  the  whole  liUna  cyn  ( *  Saxon 
Chron.,'  a,  acr,  ca,  1100),  and  so  includes  the 
island  ;  or  it  excludes  the  island,  and  is  the 
assessment  of  the  Jutes  of  the  mainland  only. 
I  assume  the  latter  to  be  the  case,  and  I 
would  assign  the  1,200  hides  to  the  IttUzrum

survived  until  the  end  of  the  ninth,  if  we  may

that  .'Elbert,  son  of  Aistulf,  the  last  king 
of  the  Jutos  of  Wight,  died  in  the  reign  of

arrived  at  above,  I  read  Yiena  gd,  i.e.,  the 
ya  of  the  Jutes,  There  are  many  instances 
of  metathesis  like  ytena  :  yneta,*  and  it  is 
noteworthy  (1)  that  "  Ynetiui  ga  "  comes 
next  before  **  Aro  a«etna  [land],''  <-«-.  Dorset-

TffE  Warden  or  Wadham  and  Matri- 
MOW. — A  few  days  ago  I  received  a  lottcr 
from  a  friend  in  which  he  tolls  me  that  there 
ia  a  Railway  Act  that  contains  a  provision 
authorizing  tho  Warden  of  Wa«ihain  to 
inarry.  My  friend  feels  certain  of  th»>  fact, 
as  he  reiuembera  turning  up  the  Act  itself 
some  years  ai;o  and  copying  the  clause.  He 
alHo  tells  me  that  this  Railway  Act  with  the 
matrimonial  clause  is  mentioned  in  one  of  the 
books  on  railways.  XTnfortimately,  this 
hook  has  bc^n  mislaid  in  consequence  of 
dusting,  and  no  date  of  tho  Railway  Act  is 
mentioned  by  my  friend. 

In  the  short  history  of  Wadham  written 
by  Mr.  J.  Wells,  p.  156,  mention  is  made 
of  a  special  Act  of  Parliament  allowing 
the  Warden  of  Wadham  to  marrVi  passed  in 
1806.  Mr.  Wells  says  :  *'  It  need  hardly  be 
added  there  is  no  truth  in  tho  college 
tradition  that  tho  change  was  accom- 
plished by  a  clause  '  tacked  on  *  to  a  Canal 
Bill."  "Tho  Act  for  enabling  a  Married 
Person  to  hold  and  enjoy  llie  Office  of 
Warden  of  Wadharu  CoUeKo  in  tho  Univer- 
sity of  Oxford  **  is  recorded  in  Private  Acts, 
1S06.  It  may  be  found  near  the  end  of  that 
year's  second  volume.  I  can  give  no  more 
precise  reference  as  tho  Private  Acts  are  not 
numbered,  aro  dated  only  by  the  session 
(46  George  III.),  and  the  volumes  aro  un* 
paged.  The  Act  of  1806  disposes  of  the 
matter  as  far  as  Wodhaiu  is  concerned. 
Does  the  tradition  refer  to  the  head  of  soma 
other  college  ?  A.  L.  MAYHncw,

tollows  from  J.  F.  Campbell  in  Mr.  Gonune*8 
'  Fulk-lore  as  an  Historical  Science,*  London, 
ai,  pp.  67-8  : — 

fXherv  was  a  man  at  some  time  or  other  who 

jrell  off,  and  had  many  children.     When  the 

y  srw  ut'  tliu  man  B^ve  a  well-stocked  farm  to 

m  hin  children.     When  the  man  waa  old  his 

Jhdiod,  Olid  he  divided  all  that  ho  had  amongst 

hi  ebildmi*  and    lived  with  them,   turn  about. 

B  tfetr  bouaefl.  The  sons  got  tired  of  him  and 
Vpateful,  and  tried  to  get  rid  of  him  when  lie 
*lai»  lu  stay  with  them.  At  last  an  old  friend 
fattid  him  <itting  toarful  by  tho  wavsidc  and, 
hambii;  the  cause  of  his  distrosA,  took  nim  home ; 
U»cre  he  Rave  him  a  bowl  of  Rold  and  a  luason 
which  the  old  man  learned  and  acted.  When  all 
tit«  Hjisjateful  SODS  and  daughters  had  jzonu  to  a 
l^nacbinc  the  old  man  went  tu  a  green  knoll  whero 


his  grandchildren  were  at  play,  and,  pretending  to 
bide,  he  turned  up  a  flat  hearthstone  in  an  old 
stance  [=standiDg-plaoe1,  and  went  out  of  Btpht. 
He  spread  out  his  gold  on  a  big  stone  in  ttio  Bun- 
light,  and  he  muttered,  'Yo  arc  mouldv,  ye  arc 
hoanr,  ye  will  be  betiur  for  tlie  sun.'  Tne  grand- 
chilurtm  came  sneakinu  over  the  knoll,  and  when 
they  had  seen  and  heard  all  that  thc-y  were 
intended  to  see  and  hoar,  they  came  running  up 
with,  'Grandfather,  what  have  you  got  there** 
'That  which  cuneenis  you  not:  touch  it  not,*  said 
the  grandfather,  and  he  swept  nis  gold  into  a  bas 
and  took  it  home  tu  his  oM  friono.  Tho  grand- 
ohildron  told  what  they  had  seen,  and  henceforth 
the  children  strove  who  should  be  kindest  to  the 
old  grandfather.  Still  acting  on  the  counsel  ut'  his 
sagacious  old  ohunif  be  got  a  stout  little  black  chest 
made,  and  oarried  it  always  with  him.  When  any 
one  questioned  him  as  to  its  contents  his  answer 
was,  '  That  will  be  known  when  the  chest  i» 
opened.'  When  he  died  he  wsa  buried  with  great 
honour  and  ceremony,  and  the  chest  was  ojienea  by 
the  expectant  heire.  In  it  were  found  broken 
])otaherds  and  bits  of  Blaie>  and  a  lonii-handlnd 
white  wooden  mallet  with  this  legeud  on  tta 
head  :—

But  gives  all  to  hia  bairn. 

Whether  or  not  it  has  one  and  the  same 
origin  vith  this  Scottish  tale,  a  Chinese 
anecdote  of  a  similar  stauip  is  related,  with 
all  his  characteristic  eagerness,  by  Sze-m» 
Tsien,  the  greatest  historian  China  has  ever 
produced.  It  occurs  in  the  *  Life  of  Lu  Kia' 
m  his  *  Shi-ki,*  written  c,  B.C.  97.  It  tells 
us  how  in  the  year  196  B.C.  tho  Emperor  Hau- 
t«u  sent  Lu  Kia,  tho  great  literate  and 
diplomat,  to  Tchao  To,  the  self-made 
monarch  of  Nang-yue,  in  order  to  subdue 
him  without  the  us©  of  anus  (for  the  latter'a 
life  see  Gamier,  *  Voyage  d'Exploration  en 
Indo-Cliine.'  Paris,  1873,  torn.  i.  p-  469).  The 
eloquent  Lu  Kia  completely  brought  over 
Tchao  To,  so  that  the  latter  presented  the 
former  on  his  farewell  with  a  bog  containing 
valuables  worth  a  thousand  pieces  of  gold, 
to  which  he  added  another  thousand  for 
viaticum. 

After  the  Emperor  Hiao-hui  succeeded  hia 
father  Hau-tsu  (b.c.  104),  the  Dowager-Era- 
press  Lu  was  hankering  to  make  kings  of 
her  own  kindred,  quite  contrary  to  the  will 
of  her  deceased  husband.  Well  knowing 
his  incompetence  to  stop  this,  Lu  Kia 
pretended  to  be  unwell,  and  retired  to 
Hfto-chi,  there  to  live  by  keeping  excellent 
farms. 

"Ashe  had  five  sons,"  the  narrative  continues. 
•*  he  took  out  of  the  bag  the  valuables  Tohao-To  had 
given  him,  and  sold  Lhcni  for  one  thousand  pieoea 
of  gold.  These  he  divided  amongst  his  sonfi,  telUnff 
eaon  to  thrive  with  the  fund  of  two  hundred  pieces. 
Lu  Kia  procured  for  himself  a  oomfortablo  carriaga

alsoof  stirring  up  sedition,  but  really  suffered 
for  his  Protestant  opinions.  He  had  been 
chaplain  to  Anne  Boleyn,  and  that  was  not 
improbably  the  real  cause  of  his  death,  if  he

ropes  and  earthen  pots,  like  the  aafcia  of 
Egypt  or  the  Persian  wheel  of  India,  and 
it  creaked  like  these.  This  primitive  fonn 
has  been  superseded  by  tho  modem  form, 
all  of  iron,  and  the  French  name  has  been 
imported,  but  good  Proven^aux  do  not  use 
this  name ;  they  keep  to  the  old  word

shows    that    it    was    cast    in    1484    by    ona

in  his  usual  attitude  surmounted  by  a  right- 
handed    svastica.    the    symbol    of    life    and 
light.       On  another  part  of  tlie  bowl  is  a, 
figure  of  the  Virgin  and  Child,  and  ^jetweenl 
tham   the   beginning   of   the   verse   in    the 
Miserere  **  Asperges  me."  which  shows  that 
the  bow]  was.  from  the  first,  intended   for 
Christian  religious  use. 

Do  any  of  your  readers  know  of  a  similar 
representation  of  Buddha  in  Christian  art  f 
A  great  authority  on  Indian  archieologj'  has 
suggested  that  this  particular  instance  may 
be  accounted  for  by  the  cloao  mercAntile 
connexion  which  existed  between  Florence, 
whence  this  bowl  was  brought  by  Lord 
Holland,  and  the  East,  ond  the  fact  that 
Buddha  was  introduced  into  the  calendar  of 
saint  under  the  name  of  St.  Joasaphat.

It  will  be  ijoticed  that,  according  to  Ames, 
White's  portrait  was  drawn  in  Hatton's

say  in  his  thirty-second  year — not  when  he 
was  32  years  old  (see  anie^  p.  96).  Further.

no  doubt  erroneously.

DucHEBB  OP  PaulTA  (11  S.  ii.  29,  99). — 
The  reply  by  L£0  C.  statins  that  the  titio 
Duke  of  Palata  was  conferrfxi  in  1793  on  the 
Aztor  family,  is  incorrect.  Francisco  Toralto 
(or  Toraldo)  di  Aragona,  l*rince  of  Massa 
(Kaplea).  was  created  Duke  of  Palata  (prov. 
of  Molisf^)  by  Philip  IV.  of  Spain  in  1646.  I 
notice  tho  query  ia  as  to  a  duchesa  ;  and  it  is 
peculiar  to  tho  title  that  for  about  a  century 
It  descended  through  four  generations  of 
femalee,  being  finally  inherited  by  the  hotiso 
of  Azlor,  Counts  of  Guara  in  Aragon,  which 
alsop  in  the  person  of  the  fourth  Count. 
succeeded  to  the  Dukedom  of  Villahermosa 
in  1761. 

Fraacisca*  daughter  and  heiress  of  the 
first  Duke  by  a  Frezza-Orsini*  married 
( 1 662 )  Melchior  de  Navarra  y  Rocaf uil 
(d.  1691),  Viscount  of  La  TorreciUa,  Governor 
of  Peru,  the  Tiorra  Firme,  and  Chile,  who 
belonged  to  the  Marquisoa  of  Cortea,  ille- 
gitiiuate  scions  of  Navarro-Evreux.  Their 
daughter  Cecilia,  Duchess  of  Palata,  mar- 
ried a  Count  of  Alba  de  Liste.  and  again 
left  an  heiress,  Francisca  Elena*  wife  of  a 
Zapata  de  Calatayud,  Count  del  Heal 
(Valencia).  The  daughter  by  this  union,  Ines 
Maria  Zapata,  &c,,  was  wife  of  Juan  Joa^  de 
Azlor  de  Aragon,  third  Count  of  Guara 
(d.  1748).  Since  tho  succession  of  his  son, 
Juan  Pablo  de  Azlor  (d.  1790),  fourth  Count. 
to  the  Villahermosa  dukedom,  that  of  Palata 
has  been  merged  in  it.  and  will  so  continue, 
unleaa  detached  at  some  time  or  another  iu 
favour  of  a  cadet,  the  laws  of  succession  in 
both  cases  being,  I  beheve,  identical. 

The  original  grantees,  Toraldo  or  Toralto. 
added  tho  patronate  name  **di  Aragona  " 
to  their  own  by  alliance  with  a  female 
Piccolomini,  descended  from  the  Aragonese 
line  of  Naples,  who  were  prodigal  of  the 
distinction.  There  is  a  short  accotmt  of 
them  in  Aldimari's  *  Historia  genealogica 
delia  famiglia  Carafa,*  vol.  iii.  p.  343,  Naiiles, 
1691  ;  also  in  Mazzella^s  '  Descrittione  del 
regno  di  Napoli.*  p.  743.  1601.  In  Aldimari's 
day  the  Naples  branch  was  on  the  wane, 
but  ha  states  that  a  mato  Uno  still  flourished 
at  Tropea,  which  is  of  interest  in  %iew  of  a 
work  published  at  Pitigliano»  in  1898.  by  F. 


ToraWo,  *  H  sedile  e  la  nobjltk  di  Tropea,' 
which  might  possibly  give  some  aocount  of 
the  first  and  second  Duchesees  of  Psklatak 
and  might  not  bo  very  difficult  to  obtain. 
The  usual  Spanish  nobiliaries  should  giv» 
details  of  the  others  under  the  familial 
named  (see  Fem^dez  de  B^thencourt,

•"Tft  critique  of  this  in  The  Oenealoyist

le  similarity  of  the  arms  borne  by  the 
rious  fomiUea  of  Dean,  Ac,  at  first  sight 


the 


Lly 


seems  to  support  the  theory  of  a  cominon 
origin,  but  can  be  quite  as  easily  explained  by 
the  well-known  tendencj-  of  new  families  to 
appropriate  the  arms  of  older  families  of  the 
same  or  a  similar  name.  The  heralds' 
custom  of  allowing  or  granting  the  same 
arms  to  different  fanulies  of  the  same  name 
has  been  severely  attacked  by  leading 
eenealogistst  like  Messrs.  Round,  Barron,  and 
Kye. 

n.  The  statement  that  Walter  Fitz  Other, 
'*  temp.  Conouest  "  (I  beUeve  that  his  name 
is  not  found  before  Domesday),  bore  arms  is 
surprl'^ing.  Surely  it  is  now  universally 
agreed  that  heraldry  did  not  originate  until 
towards  the  middle  of  the  next  century. 
Not  to  waste  valuable  space,  may  I  refer 
H.  L.  L.  D.  to  my  letter  m  The  Academy  of 
U  September  last  year  (p.  520)  on  this 
subject  ?  (In  this  letter  Quincy  has  been 
misprinted  as  "Quinoy.")  What  really 
happened  was  that  the  heralds  assigned  arms 
to  Walter  EUid  his  immediate  descendants 
some  centuriee  alter  their  Ueath.  as  Dr. 
Round  has  pointed  out  {Anc^tor,  v.  42-6). 
And  the  alleged  descent  of  the  Fitzmaurices 
from  the  same  family  has  been  questioned 
bv  the  same  eminent  authority  {Monthly 
Review,  No.  9.  pp.  102-3). 

ITT.  The  similarity  of  the  arms  of  Denny 
ana  Windsor  is  curious,  and  it  will  be  very 
interesting  if  H.  L.  L.  D.  is  able  to  discover 
the  reason  of  this.  He  suggeets  that  a 
Demiy  married  a  Windsor  heiress,  or  that 
a  Windsor  married  a  Denny  heiress,  the 
descendants  assuming  her  name  ;  but  there 
are  at  least  five  other  possible  explanations  : 

(1)  If  the  Dennys  were  tenants  of  the 
Windsors,  they  might  have  assumed  a 
shield  based  on  that  of  their  lords,  as  there  is 
little  doubt  that  the  arms  of  Lo  Despencer 
(*  Studies  in  Peerage  and  Family  History,* 
pp.  328-9)  and  Loring  ('Memorials  of  the 
Order  of  the  Garter,*  p.'66)  were  formed  from 
the  arms  of  the  Beaucham|Mi  of  Bedford. 

(2)  Marriage  with  a  Windsor  who  was  not 
an  heiress,  as  Henry  de  Percy  is  supposed  to 
have  assumed  his  lion  rampant  xn  conse- 
quence ot  his  marriage  with  a  daughter  of 
ihe  Earl  of  Aiundel,  who  bore  a  lion

"  The  Holy  Cbows,"  Lisbon  (U  S.  ii.  «7, 
116). — In  Baring -Gould's  life  of  St.  Vincent 
(*  Lives  of  Saints,'  January,  p.  334)  we  are 
told  that,  by  the  order  of  Dacian,  Vincent's 
body  was  cast  into  a  field  to  become  the 
prey  of  wild  beasts  and  birds,  but  was 
defended  by  a  raven. 

St.  Meinxad,  the  hermit,  of  Swabia,  who 
is  commemorated  the  day  before  St.  Vincent, 
on  21  January,  had  two  pet  ravens,  which 
followed  his  two  murderers,  attacking  them 
with  beaks  and  claws,  and  then,  dashing 
against  the  windows  of  a  house  which  they 
had  entered,  caused  their  capture  und  execu- 
tion. The  life  is  authentic,  and  ia  charmingly 
told  by  Baring -Uould.  January,  pp.  321-33. 
St.  Meinrud  is  included  in  John  and  Raphael 
Sadeler's  *  Sylvse  Sacrje.*  Munich,  1 594. 
and  a  raven  is  perched  above  the  sainCs  dead 
body,  watching  it ;  but  the  Abbots  of 
Einsidlen  do  not  seem  to  have  admitted 
these  birds  into  their  heraldic  insignia,  in 
which  wo  find  stags,  lions,  storks,  dogs,  and 
squirrels,  as  shown  in  Steinegger's  interesting 
serice  of  plates  in  his  *  Idea  Vitse  et  Mortis  S.

In  their  interesting  query  N.  M.  &  A.  ask 
if  there  are  other  •*  instances  of  birds  or 
moiiuuals  being  kept  in  this  fashion  in  other 
parts  of  Europe.'*  I  am  reminded  of  the 
raven  I  saw  some  eight  years  ago  at  Merse- 
burg,  a  small  cathedral  town  about  ten 
miles  south  of  Hallo  a.  S.  It  was  kept  in  a 
large  stone  cage  in  front  of  the  palace,  and 
the  following  story,  recalling  the  well- 
known  one  of  the  jackdaw  of  Rheims,  was 
ttild  to  account  for  its  presence  :  A  certain 
Bishop  of  Merseburg,  whose  name  I  (oc^l-*

lost  a  valuable  ring,  and  suspected  on©  of  hia 
Horv'antB  of  having  Htoleii  it.  The  man 
vehemently  denied  all  knowledge  of  the 
theft,  but  he  was  not  believed,  and  was 
beheaded  ;  the  stone  block,  with  blood- 
stains, is  still  ghuwn  in  tlie  palace  court- 
yard. Afterwards  the  rintr  was  discovered 
m  a  raven's  neat,  and  the  bishop,  in  remorse. 
Bet  apart  a  sum  of  money  to  maintain  for 
over  a  raven  as  a  memorial  of  hii«  crime  and 
a  warning  against  hasty  judgments. 

In  looking  over  the  cathedral  I  saw  (I 
believe  in  a  window)  the  arms  of  the  bishop 
in  question,  into  which  a  raven  entered. 
Possibly  they  are  to  be  held  responsible  in 
some  way  for  the  presence  of  the  raven,  the 
legend  being  invented  when  the  original 
reason  had  been  forgotten ;  but  at  any 
rat«  the  raven  is  (or  was)  undoubtedly 
there,  and  furnishes  an  analog^'  to  the  Lisbon 
crows.  I  was  informed  that  the  allowance 
for  the  raven's  maintenance  is  now  made 
by  the  Government.  H.  I.  B.

Butler  of  England  as  Earl  of  Arundel  and 
Lord  of  Keningal  or  Kenninghall  Manor, 
which  is  not  far  from  Buckenhain,  to  which 
Camden  alludes. 

The  Lord  Mayor  and  citizens  of  London 
(generally  eight)  claimed  thoright  of  aasistinp 
the  Chief  Butler  in  his  Butleruhip  ;  and  the 
Mayor,  bailifFa,  and  commonalty  of  Oxford 
also  claimed  to  serve  in  the  office  of  Butler- 
ship  to  the  King,  with  the  citizens  of  London. 
Both  claims  were  usually  allowed,  the  Oxford 
citizens  being  rewarded  with  a  fee  of  leaser 
value  than  that  which  was  given  to  the 
Londoners.  For  historical  details  as  to  the

Kockinoham  asks  whether  any  certain 
information  can  bo  given  oa  to  Li  Hung- 
Chang's  English.  If  Kockinoham  was 
under  the  impression  that  Li  Hung-Chang 
understood  English  well  and  that  his  pre- 
tended ignorance  was  only  a  diplomatic 
device,  ho  was  giving  that  statesman  credit 
for  an  accomplishment  he  did  not  pos-sess. 
He  neither  spoke  nor  understood  English.

that  the  late  Emperor  Kuang  HsU  had 
studied  English  to  a  considerable  extent. 
though  I  fancy  no  one  knew  how  far  his 
knowledge  extended. 

Li  Hung-Chang  had  one  diplomatic 
'*  dodge '^  of  which  Rockingham  may 
perhaps  have  hoard.  It  was  not  an  affected 
ignorance  of  English  (that  was  genuine 
enough),  but  a  protended  inability  to  speak 
any  Chinese  except  the  dialect  of  Anhui, 
his  native  province.  This,  of  course,  made 
him  unintelligible  to  such  visitors  as  spoke 
only  the  Mandarin  dialect.  Li  Hung- 
Chang  frequently  resorted  to  this  deWce 
when  inclined  to  he  evasive.  As  a  matter  of 
fact  he  spoke  "  Mandarin  "  perfectly,

of  the  prosoQt  Folly  Bridge,  anciently  called 
Orandpont,  over  the  Isis  or  Thames  at 
Oxford*  was  a  tower  said  to  have  been  uaed 
as  an  observatory  by  Friar  Roger  Bacon, 
and  afterwards  leased  to  a  citizen  named 
Welcome,  who  added  another  atory,  hence 
called  '*  Welcome's  Folly."  The  bridge  thus 
acquired  its  present  title.

than  a  gatehouse  erected  upon  Grandpont  in

that  when  a  greater  man  than  Bacon  should

Hungary  in  ihe  Eightrtnth  Century,  By  Henrj" 
M&rczoli.  With  on  Introductory  Ei«ay  on  the 
E&rUcr  History  of  Bnng«ry  by  Hftrold  W.  V. 
Temperley.     (Cambridge  University  Preas.) 

We  arc  told  by  the  author  in  the  preface  that 
hi  1878  the  Hungarian  Academy  of  Science 
invited  him  to  write  a  history  of  Hungary  in  the 
time  uE  Joseph  It.  and  Leopold  II.  (1780-02). 
The  three  volum»'8  dealing  with  the  reign  of  the 
former  monarch  duly  appeared  between  1882  and 
1868,  and  peacefully  nested  on  the  ahrlves  of  at 
least  one  huge  library  in  London  for  about  twenty 
years  or  more  beforv  the  Cambridge  University 
Press  decided  to  publish  an  Englisli  translation, 
which  was  undertaken  by  the  author's  colleague 
and  friend  Dr.  Arthur  B.  Yotland,  of  the  Budapest 
University.  Another  friend,  Mr.  Temperley,  baa 
written  an  introductory  essay  on  the  earlier 
Hungarian  history  to  enable  the  English  reader 
to  plunge  atoncc  \n  ntediat  rflt. 

After  another  *  Introduction/  this  time  f^m 
the  pen  of  Uie  author  himself,  giving  a  rapid 
sketch  of  Hungarian  history  from  the  Peace  of 
SzathmAr  (X711)  to  the  occessiim  of  Joseph  II. 
(1780),  the  condition  of  Hungary  at  tlie  latter 
date  is  described  with  great  detail  in  five  chapters  ; 
In  which  the  economic  conditions,  the  social 
oyatem,  nationalities,  religion,  and  the  royal 
power  and  government  of  the  State  are  succes- 
sively dealt  with. 

The  year  1711  was  an  important  tuming- 
poiut  for  Hungary.  Before  the  expulsion  of  the 
Turks  from  the  larger  portion  of  the  territory 
of  the  old  kingdom   aa  it  existed  before  thev

arrival,  Hungarjr  wna  divided  into  three  separate 
monarchies,  ruled  over  by  a  Hapsburg.  the  Sultan 
of  Turkey,  aud  the  somi-lndependent  Princo  of 
Transylvania  respectivelv.  The  Peace  of  Siuth- 
xn4r  was  to  unilo  the  wKolc  natinn  and  to  be  a 
compromise  between  the  united  nation  and  their 
Bole  ruler,  the  vict-oriouB  Hapsburg.  Hence- 
forth there  was  to  be  only  odo  king,  one  law. 
And  on(^  army. 

Mr.  Temperley'fl  introductory  essay  is  exceed* 
Ingly  well  done,  except  that  no  to  perhaps  ton 
dogmatic  in  placee,  and  too  severe  In  his  judgment 
of  the  Magyars.  He  should  remember  the  saying 
about  the  mote  and  the  beam.  Traces  of  the 
most  primitive  savagery  exist  wherever  de- 
scendants of  savages  survive,  and  the  true 
spirit  of  mediffivaltsra  is  to  be  found  everywhere. 
England  nrit  exrept^.  The  Ilnngarian  htisaar 
who  stands  with  drawn  sword  befort"  the  county 
assembly  hall,  ready,  if  necessary,  to  resist  the 
king  and  bis  soldiers,  is  not  much  more  of  an 
anachroQism  than  tliR  Lord  Mayor  of  London 
standing  behind  a  rnrd  at  Toraple  Bar  to  remind 
his  Boveruigii,  in  thia  anti(|uated  way,  of  the 
ancient  privileges  of  the  City.  Seventy  ycftrs 
ago  the  Hongarian  nobles  still  wore  the  hussar 
dress  AS  their  native  costume,  and  the  forms  of  the 
Hungnrian  Parliament  were  still  mediwval. 
Visitors  from  Budapest  are  amu8€>d  In  London 
by  the  quaint  garb  worn  by  the  Beefeaters  on  their 
errand  to  explore  the  vaults  of  the  Houses  of 
Parlioraent  for  would-be  imitators  of  Ouy  Fawkes. 

With  regard  to  Prof.  Marczali's  portion  of  the 
work,  the  reader  will  frol  inclined  to  agree  with 
him  that  his  best  reward  is  the  decision  of 
the  Cambridge  University  Press  to  publish  his 
book  in  English.  Nevertheless,  even  after  such  a 
compliment  reviewers  may  atill  he  of  service  in 
pointing  out  faults  in  the  book.  'ITius  many  of  the 
foot-no^  might  have  been  omitted  with  ad- 
Tantoge,  because  in  the  form  in  which  they 
appear  they  are  usele-ss.  For  instance,  on  p.  203 
there  is  a  reference  to  some  extracts  irrtm.  State 
and  other  docuinenta  published  by  Prof.  Marczali 
himself  in  a  Hungarian  periodical  in  18S1.  These 
were  subsequently  republished  in  book  form, 
and  the  student  who  wishes  to  pursue  the  subject 
will  flud  that  the  collection  is  a  conglomeration 
of  datA  without  any  apparent  ordrr  or  system, 
and  moreover  lacking  an  index  ;  and  us  the  page 
is  not  given,  he  will  have  difficulty  in  finding  the 
passage  in  <iuc6tion. 

The  three  writers  who  are  responsible  for  the 
present  book  are  evidently  not  agreed  as  to  who 
the  Rascians  really  arc.  On  p.  197  Prof.  Marcuali 
explains  that  the  Serbs  who  followed  in  the  wake 
of  the  Turkish  armies  and  came  from  Ipek,  in 
Old  Senria.  called  Rascia,  were  and  are  called 
Rascians.  Klsewherc  throughout  the  portion  of 
the  book  for  which  he  is  responsible  we  find. 
however,  "  Serbs  (Rascians) "  and  "  Rascians 
(Serbs.)"  and  even  '"  Rascian  Serbs,"  while  Mr. 
Temperley  has  "  Rascians  and  Serbs  "  (p.  xx). 
The  uninitiated  reader  will  consequmtly  be 
puzzled. 

Next,  according  to  Mr.  Temperley.  the  Popes 
be'*towed  on  two  of  Hungary's  kings  the  title  of 
Saint  (p.  xiiii).  Prof.  MarciaU,  on  the  other 
hand  (or  Is  it  his  translator?),  writes  of  "St. 
Stephen  and  the  other  cnnomxed  kings  of  Hun- 
gary,*' in  the  plural.  Were  there  more  than 
two  ? 


There  was  no  King  Ladislaa  in  1514  (p.  17S 
The  name  of  that  king  is  given  correctly 
Wladinlav  in  the  list  of  rulers  at  the  beginnfi 
of  the  btxik.  Probably  tills  is  also  the  tronslatoi 
mistake,  like  the  passage  relating  to  a  sloi 
270  fathoms  long  (p.  87).  which  is  apparent 
meant  for  the  length  of  the  weir.

THE  nULE  OF  THE  ROAD. 

"  Riilo  of  the  Road  "  on  land  haa  so 
lueatly  nffordwi  subject  for  disciwaion 
A  Q.'  that  reference  to  Mr.  R.  P. 
's  paper  read  before  the  IntornationaJ 
"fiaociation  on  the  4th  inat  will  be  of 
Vtonst.  The  foHowmg  quotationtf  nrp  taken 
iMDlhe  fuU  report  Which  appeared  in  The 
Times  on  the  following  day : — 

fa.  MahafTy  said  it  was 
"ifcuiKP   that    the    custom    of   tlie    r»^ad    shnuld 
difc  from  country  to  cttuntry  ;    that  it  should 
b»ifclUinR  in  Gront  Kritain.  Sweden,  UunRapy, 
ft»*^al,  in  some  citica  of  lUly,   ond  in  somo 

CincM  of  Austria  J  and  the  oppoeite  in  France, 
lany,  tht>  country  parte  »<f  Italy,  Hpam, 
BoBilii,  and  even  in  thp  United  StAt^-s  of  iVmiTica, 
»*«» «  many  English  institut  ions  atill  remained. ' 
Aa  AD  illustration  of  this  I  may  mention 
fth»l  A  frierul  of  mine  who  was  on  horne- 
Mt  noticed,  on  meeting  an  Italian  general, 
*l*n  on  horHeback,  at  the  pates  of  Rome. 
»*i(»t  hU  doubt    aa  to  the  correct  side  was 


ahared  by  the  distinguiBhed  native.  Rome 
perhape  follows  the  Britiah,  and  the  Gam- 
pajj^na  the  opposite,  system. 

Mr.  Mahaffy  maintained  that 
'*  the  natural  way  to  lead  a  horao  was  with  the 
right  hand,  and  it  woa  drsirablo,  when  two  honwa 
were  posaing  on  a  road,  that  the  mvu  leading  tfacm 
should  each  be  between  hia  hurae  and  the  other 
horse  and  man,'* 

He  stated  that  this  rule  was  followed  in 
our  own  country  roads,  where 
"  the  rule  for  horses  led  by  hand  was  the  oppoalte 
from  that  Cor  driven  carriages,  and  this  mu<it 
have  been  the  univenial  rule  in  old  ticaea,  wbt^u 
heavy  traffic  was  carried  by  led  pack-bor»e8." 

Mr.  Mabaffy's  reference  to  pack-horses 
reminds  me  that  our  old  friend  I>B.  Dobak 
on  the  »th  of  July.  1864  (3  S.  vi.  26).  mentions 
that  in  an  article  in  The  Cortihill  of  that 
month  it  XA  said  that  "the  old  pack-horse 
roads  in  Wilts  are  still  used  by  drovers  and 
others  wishing  to  avoid  the  toll-bars "  ; 
and  DoBAN  quotes  from  SleigVs  '  Historj'  of 
Leek  '  to  show  that  the  old  paek-horso  road 
in  £>taSordshire  is  still  in  existence.  '  By 
Packhorse  Track  to  Shere  '  is  also  the  sub- 
ject of  an  article  m  The  Evening  News  of 
the  18th  inst.,  being  No.  XIII.  of  a  series 
on  '  Afoot  round  London.'  It  mentions 
"the  old  drove-road,  or  pack-horse  track, 
which  goes  almost  duo  west  along  the  ridge 
of  the  North  Downs  to  Guildford." 

Mr.  Mahaffy  went  on  to  say  : — 

*•  It  remained  to  be  considered  why  the  rule  in 
England  waa  choxiged,  and  he  had  como  to  the 
conclusion  that  it  must  have  been  changed 
grndualiy  after  the  introduction  of  fast  cwrrioge 
driving  on  the  English  country  roads,  and  mora 
eupi'cially  after  thu  introduction  of  coaching. 
He  had  looked  into  various  hooks  on  coaching  and 
driving,  and  the  genertil  conclusion  to  which 
they  pointed  woe  tliat  the  practice  of  driving 
carriages  became  general  in  the  early  part  of  the 
seventeenth  century. ..  .When  carriages  came 
into  general  use,  one  thing  at  once  become  cosential, 
Hiid  that  WM  that  the  whip,  which  did  so  tuueh 
to  guide  as  well  aa  to  encnurage  thu  horse,  should 
be  free.  This  became  even  luore  iieceflaary  with 
the  introduction  of  four-in-hand  driving  and  fast 
journeys,  fnr  drivers  hod  little  control  over  the 
leading  horse  except  by  means  of  the  whip." 

The  driver  holding  his  whip  in  the  right 
hand,  ho  would  naturally  keep  to  the  left  side 
of  the  road,  so  as  to  have  room  for  the  free 
play  of  the  whip,  and  Mr.  Mahaffy  sub- 
mitted that  this  was  the  reaaon  for  the 
change.  But  then  comes  the  question.  How 
was  it  that  no  such  change  was  made  in 
France  or  Germany  t  As  regards  France, 
the  roads  were  generally  made  straight 
across  country,  and  by  an  order  of  the  French 
Royal   Council    in   1776  they  were   divided

into  four  claases,  the  breadth  of  the  6rat 
being  as  ninch  as  42  ft.  between  fences,  the 
second  36.  the  third  30,  and  the  fourth  24. 
At  that  time  our  roods  were  much  narrower, 
very  few  bcinj:  42  ft.  wide,  so  that  the  risk  of 
having  the  whip  encumbered  by  keeping 
to  the  right  in  France  was  very  much  leea 
than  in  the  narrow  roads  of  England.  The 
Enpliah  rule  was  not  confirmed  by  statute 
till  the  passing  of  the  Highway  Act  of  1835, 
and  before  that  time  it  was  clearly  decided 
by  the  judges  that  '*  it  was  at  best  only  a  rule 
of  convenience,  and  not  to  bo  adhered  to 
as  a  hard-and-fast  rvile."  Since  1835  the 
duty  to  keep  to  the  left  had  been  put  upon 
all  drivers,  both  when  they  were  Tueeting 
other  vehicles  and  when  they  were  being 
overtaken,  and  failure  to  observe  thia  rule 
was  punishable  with  a  fine. 

After  the  reading  of  the  paper.  Mr.  H.  F. 
Doasen's  proposal  that  a  small  committee 
should  be  appointed  to  consider  the  desira- 
bility of  a  imiversal  rule  of  the  road  on  land 
was  carried. 

In  'N.  &  Q-'  this  "rule  absolute"  was 
advocated  on  the  9th  of  June,  1866 
(3  S.  ix.  482),  by  X.  C  who  considers  the 
French  plan  of  one  rule  for  walkers,  riders, 
and  drivers  the  bast:  ''All  should  pass 
meeting  left  arm  to  left  arm,  and  over- 
taking by  the  left."  He  mentions  that 
**in  Belgium,  Ciermany.  and  most  parte  of 
Switzerland    the    French    rule    of   the   road 

Frevails.  In  the  cantons  of  Switzerland  next 
taly,  and  in  Italy  itself,  they  drive  and  ride 
OS  in  England,  passing  right  arm  to  right 
arm." 

On  the  28th  of  July,  1866  (3  S.  3c.  63). 
T.  A.  H.  gives  what  he  boliovea  to  bo  the 
correct  version  of  the  lines  on  *  The  Rule  of 
the  Road,'  and  states,  in  reply  to  several 
correspondents,  that  he  has  *'  always  under- 
stood their  author  to  have  been  Henry 
Erskine."     The  wording  was  : — 

The  rul«  of  the  roa.d  ia  a  pA-radox  quite  ; 
For  in  Jrtving  yuur  carriiigi'  nlonK, 

If  you  tuFQ  to  the  left  you  are  Bun^  to  go  right. 
If  you  turn  to  the  right  you  go  wrong. 

On  the  17th  of  August.  1867  (3  S.  xii.  139), 
Lord  Howden  advocates  the  French  rule. 
which  *'  has  a  rationale  of  its  own,  which 
gives  it  additional  convenience.  In  naaainc 
to  the  ri^ht  of  a  road,  and  not  to  the  left. 
AS  in  England,  you  Juive  your  whip-hand  free, 
in  case  of  starting,  bolting,  gibing,  or  any 
other  danger  of  too  much  juxtaposition.*' 

On  the  Slat  of  August  P.  A.  L,.  although  a 
Frenchman,  and  **  desirous  to  chime-in  with 
him."  oonaidera  '*  the  rule  which  obtains  in 


England  far  more  sensible  and  aofe.  inas- 
much as  each  '  Whip,'  passing  close  to  the 
other's  right  wheel,  can  see  at  a  glance,  and 
much  better,  what  distance  there  is  between 
the  two,  and  so  avoid  a  collision." 

On  the  7th  of  December  Uneda  says  that 
"  '  Keep  to  the  right '  is  the  general  rule  of 
the  road  in  the  United  States,"  and  quot«« 
from  the  *  Law  of  Roads  in  Pennsylvania,* 
published  in  1848,  which  states:  "In 
England  a  contrary  usage  prevails,  and  it 
has    often    been    desired    that    the    En(^ 

Erartice,  as  the  most  reasonable,  should 
ere  adopted." 

On  the  28th  of  December  T.  M.  M. 
explains  the  difference  between  the  practice 
in  England  and  the  Continent :  *'  In  England* 
where  the  habit  of  driving  from  a  aeat  or  box 
generally  prevailed,  and  where  consequently 
{the  exigencies  of  the  operation  requiring 
the  right  arm  to  be  free)  the  driver  occupies 
the  extreme  right  of  the  driving-seat,  thu 
condition  necessitated  the  adherence  to  the 
left  side  of  the  road.  On  the  Continent, 
where  all  public  vehicles  were  wont  to  be 
driven  by  postilliona,  whose  proper  seat  is  an 
the  left  or  near  horse,  the  same  condition 
involved  a  recurrence  to  the  opposite  or  right 
side  of  the  road.'^ 

On  the  11th  of  June,  1881  (6  S.  iii.  46a|. 
Jehtt  points  out  that  on  the  Continent, 
**  curiously  enough,  the  English  rule  obtains 
on  the  railways,  owing  no  doubt  to  the  first 
linoa  having  been  planned  by  Englid, 
engineers"  ;  and  ho  considers  it  **remi 
able  that  America  should  not  have  folloi 
the  mother  country  in  the  rule  of  the  roi 
Sib  J,  A.  Pictok  on  the  9th  of  July  point*  oat 
that  on  the  Continent  *'  the  usual  method 
is  to  drive  with  reins,,  in  wlucb  case  it  is 
BS  ea&y  to  pass  on  one  side  as  the  other,  and 
the  ordinary  preference  of  the  right  hflnd 
naturally  impels  to  the  right."  There  is 
much  more  on  the  subject  in  the  SBroe 
volume ;  and  on  the  2Sth  of  Janaary. 
1882,  J.  F.  quotes  the  Act  of  ParliarooDb 
regulating  the  rule  of  the  road  for  Irelaod.

Mr.  Leo  interprets  the  word  "page,"

there  is  any  reason  for  doubting  tho  correct-

evidence  of  the  epitaph  itself.  I  return, 
therefore,  to  the  consideration  of  the  ex- 
pression **  but  page  to  serve  his  wit," 
and  give  the  following  reason  for  believing 
that  Francis  Bacon  may  have  been  the 
author  of  the  epitaph. 

In  Spedding's  *  Works  of  Francis  Bacon,' 
there  is  given  by  the  editor  an  introductory 
preface  to  Bacon's  *  Advancement  of  Learn- 
ing.' In  this  preface  Spedding  mentions  the 
following  facts.  The  '  Advancement '  was 
published  in  1605.  It  consists  of  two  books, 
or  ports.  Tho  first  book  was  probably 
written  some  few  years  before  th«  si-cond. 
But  the  second  book,  as  Spedding  states, 
is  *'  much  the  more  important  of  the  two." 

It  appears  that  Bacon  had  shown  the 
MS.  of^the  first  book  to  hift  friend  Tobie 
Matthew,  and  in  1605,  whon  the  work  was 
published  (or  shortly  /ifterwards).  Bacon 
sent  a  copy  of  tho  printed  volume,  now 
cont-oining  the  more  imjKjrtant  second  part, 
to  Matthew,  with  a  letter  from  which 
Spedding  gives  the  following  extract ; — 

•'My  work  toaching  the  '  Profioioncy  and  Ad- 
vancement of  Learning '  I  have  put  into  two  books, 
whereof  the  former,  which  you  saw,  I  aoootint  but 
am  &  Page  to  the  latter." 

"  Here  we  have  the  same  expression  "but 
fas  a]  Page  **  that  occiu*8  in  tho  epitaph.  In 
both  instances  tho  expression  is  used  to 
dofiignate  the  relation  existing  between  an 
inferior  and  a  superior.

It  would  be  interesting  to  oaoertain  (if 
possible)  whether  any  author  other  than 
Bacon,  writing  between  1605  and  1023,  had 
used  tho  word  '*  page "  with  the  unusual 
meaning  attached  to  it,  as  above.  Inquirers 
into  this  problem*  I  may  state,  will  obtain 
no  information  from  the  '  New  English 
Dictionary.'  Sir  James  Murray's  sUm  of 
readers  has  not  reported  any  such  definitioa 
under  the  word  **  page."

Siu'ely  drowsiness  must  have  come  over 
Theobald  when  Auch  an  acute  and  judicious

the  reading  of  all  the  FoHos  in  the  above

the  Cambridge  editors  have  introduced  into

for  an}'  such  change,  but  there  are  cogqai 
reasons  why  we  should  adhere  to

Flobenck  Nichtinoale  as  a  Forbeae  : 
Stocber  Family. — If  the  giving  of  life 
entitles  ono  to  ancestral  respect,  at  least  one 
London  family  has  cause  to  regard  the  famous 
maiden  who  has  just  died  as  a  main  factor  in 
its  family  tree.  Hardly  had  Miss  Nightingale 
landed  in  the  Crimea  before  she  had  to  phmge 
into  the  horrors  of  the  field  of  Inkerman. 
Underneath  a  pile  of  actual  coq>sc6  was  a 
seemingly  lifeless  body  which  she  ordered  to 
bo  carried  to  the  hospital,  where  she  nursed 
it  back  to  life,  giving  the  rescued  soldier 
a  memento  of  their  meeting. 

This  soldier,  now  many  years  deceased. 
Sergeant  Benjamin  Stocker,  one  of  the  most 
highly  respect^  non-coms,  in  tho  Army, 
lived  t-o  serve  in  many  stations,  ending  m 
charge  of  tho  training  depot  at  Monken 
Hadley.  After  the  Crimea  ho  married  a 
young  widow  of  Devizes,  a  descendant  of 
Sir  George  Rooko  (for  the  famous  adiniral 
left  descendants  in  spite  of  dictionaries), 
and  had  a  large  family.  The  eldest  child, 
Mrs.  Annie  Phessie.  the  light  and  life  of  a 
large  circle  in  Dulwich.  died  especialljr 
beloved  only  a  few  months  before  hor  father  s 
rescuer.  A  son  of  the  same  name  followed 
in  his  father's  footateps,  and  was  given  a 
commission  for  signal  services  in  the  Bo^ 
War  and  other  campaigns.  These  children 
united  three  distinct  Rooke  families  from 
distant  points  in  England  and  Ireland* 
Sergeant  Stocker*s  own  mother  being  » 
Rooke  of  a  Devon  Quaker  family.  He  was 
bom  at  Honiton,  where  a  gre^t-aunt,  Mrs. 
Mary  Stocker,  left  a  legacy  conditional  on  the 
life  of  her  cat.  Her  will  in  the  Prerogative 
Court  files  has  occasioned  countless  fictitious

and  fticetiouB  varianta.  Tho  main  stem  of 
these  West-Country  Stockers  waa  at  the 
adjoining  Colyton,  where  Sergeant  Stocker 
derived  by  descent  his  given  name  from  an 
ancestreea  of  the  family  of  the  famous  first 
Harvard  graduate,  Benjamin  Woodbridge, 
Puritan  Vicar  of  Newbury  and  chaplain  to

"  Totem  "  :  its  Etvmolooy. — I  regret 
that  the  account  of  totem  in  the  new  cKlition 
of  ray  (larger)  '  Etymological  Dictionary  *  is 
not  quite  right ;  it  wae  copied  from  *  The 
Century  Dictionary,"  But  actual  reference 
to  the  Algonkin  dictionary  by  Cuuq  shows 
that  it  can  bo  bettered.  The  word  ote  means 
(1)  a  family  in  one  tent;  (2)  a  family, 
tribe ;  (3)  a  family  mark  or  cognizance. 
A  suJBxed  -m  indicates  possession  ;  and  the 
prefixing  of  a  personal  pronoun  to  a  form 
ending  in  *m  gives  the  equivalent  of  a 
poBseesive  pronoim.  Hence,  by  prefixing 
ct,  meaning  **  he,"  to  otem,  we  obtain  ototem, 
meaning  *'hi8  family  mark  "  ;  whence  our 
English  a  totenv^  in  which  the  word  has  been 
miadivided  and  misrepresented.

Thorough  Toll  at  Newcastle. — r/»«

that  at  midnight  on  that  day  the  *'  thorough

the  last  time.  The  toll  orimnated  so  far  back 
that  the  date  is  unknown,  but  it  waa  granted 
for  repairing  tho  city  walls.  In  later  years 
the  amoimt  received — something  like  8,00W.

Old-Time  Enoush  Dancing. — I  haw 
hod  shou'n  to  me  a  leading  article  ou 
'  Dancing  '  in  The  Times  of  20  July,  in  which 
it  is  said  : — 

"  Dancing  is  a  serious  art  with  most  primUtX'B 
peoples ;  and  it  was  a  serious  art  iu  England  not 
so  lonR  a|EU.  There  is  iiuthiuK  frivolous  or  runipini 
ID  our  old  dnncu  tunes  or  in  the  measures  of  our 
old  danooA,  hut  often  something  plaintive  in  the 
music;  a  solemn  ^n\ntyin  the  dancers' niovrraenu. 
If  you  see  an  old  dance,  such  as  a  Pavaue,  «xll 
danced,  you  cannot  but  be  aware  of  a  carious 
siKnificanco  in  it  aa  if  it  were  some  kind  of  reliRioai 
ritual.  The  dancers  seem  to  be  oocnpied  with  soma 
secret  and  beautiful  businoss  of  their  own,  whiiOh 
is  quite  unrelated  to  the  ardixiar)*  facts  of  lileb" 

From  a  recollection  dating  back  new^ 
ninety  yeera,  I  do  not  agree  with  thi«.  In 
my  younger  days  in  Kastem  Cornwall  there 
was  much  gaiety  in  many  of  tho  country' 
dancee.  as  well  as  in  the  jigs  which  catue 
from  olden  time  ;  and  when  we  wished  to 
describe  a  porticulorly  joyous  occasion,  we 
used  to  say  that  *'  it  was  a  regular  riguduun." 
which  palpably  recalled  on  old-faahioned 
dance  that  had  gone  out  of  popular  use  wren 
before  my  day.  R.  RoBBcn.

to  the  bar,  which  was  alao  his  own  iooUnation  at 
this  j»eriod.  In  prosecution  of  thisobject,  he  entered

.\fter  a  residence  of  four  years  at  Edinburj^h,  Mr. 
Daniel  began  to  abandon  the  idea  of  follow  tug  the 

nrofeiwion  of  an  advocate Hebethought  him  that 

he  might  meet  with  snoocss  as  a  literateur  m  Lon* 
dun,  aud,  accordingly,  we  find  him  there  in  the 
latter  part  of  1836. 

One  does  not  readily  believe  that  the 
greater  part  of  this  circumstantial  account, 
printed  a  few  months  after  Daniel's  death,  is 
pure  romance  ;  but  I  can  find  no  confirma- 
tion of  the  story.  When  Daniel  matricu- 
lated at  Marischal  College  in  1831,  he 
described  himself  as  "  filius  Joannia,  roerca- 
toris  in  urbe  Peterhead "  (see  my  *  Fasti 
Acad.  Marisc.,'  ii.  p.  473) ;  and  he  was  a 
student  at  Marischal  College  for  only  one 
so«8iom  The  late  Mr.  William  L.  Taylor, 
the  bibliographer  of  Peterhead,  writes 
{Scottish  NoUs  and  Queries  for  February, 
1892.  p.  142):— 

•'  Robert  Mftckenzie  Daniel  was  the  eldest  son  of

Edwabd  R.  Moran. — Some  seventy  or 
eighty  years  ago  this  gentleman  occupied  a 

£romineut  place  in  the  journalistic  world  of 
ondon.  He  was  at  one  time  sub-editor  of 
The  Qlobe^  and  a  well-known  wit  and  diner- 
out.  In  Willis's  Current  Notes,  i.  9,  is  a  short 
account' of  a  dinner  given  by  Richard  Bentlej' 
on  23  November,  1839,  to  a  circle  which 
included  Luttrell,  Moore.  Campbell,  Ains- 
worth,  Jerdan,  Moran,  Lover,  Barham,  and 
**  BoE."  I  think  it  would  puzzle  a  publisher 
of  the  present  day,  even  with  the  assistance 
of  the  Perpetual  Secretary  of  the  new 
Academy  of  Literature,  to  gather  round  him 
such  a  group  as  this.  Moran.  I  learn  from 
this  note,  died  on  6  October,  1849.  I  should 
be  glad  to  know  mure  of  his  career.

" — Are  there  any  collateral  descendants  of  Dr. 
Isaac  Watts,  the  hymn-writer  of  Southamp- 
ton, living  T 

Isaac  was  bom  on  17  July,  1674,  and  died 
a  bachelor  on  Friday,  25  November.  1748. 
He  had  three  brothers  : — 

1.  Richard,  the  physician  (bom  10  Feb- 
ruary, 1675/6  ;  died  14  April,  1750).  who  left 
only  one  daughter  Mary,  who  married  her 
cousin  (?)  James  Brackst-one,  the  bookseller. 

2.  Enoch,  the  sailor  (bom  11  March, 
1678/9),  who  was  alive  on  25  November, 
1748  ;   see  p.  702  of  Milnor's  Life. 

3.  Thomas  (bom  20  January,  1679/80). 
who  was  probably  the  father  of  "  my  nephew 
Thomas  Watts  of  Colchester,"  mentioned  in 
Lsaao  Watts' a  will. 

There  were  four  sisters  : — 

1.  Mary  No.  1,  who  evidently  died  in 
infancy, 

2.  Mary  No.  2  (bom  31  October,  1681), 
who  married  John  Brackstone  in  1707/8, 
and  had  four  children — Joseph,  Mary,  Sarah, 
and  Matilda. 

3.  Elizabeth  (bom  10  August,  1689,  died 
11  November.  1691). 

4.  Of  the  fourth.  Martha,  I  have  no  par- 
ticulars. 

My  groat-great-grandfather  Peter  Watts 
(No,  1)  of  Southjimpton  had  a  son  Peter 
Watts  (No.  2J,  who  was  bom  14  December, 
i747»   and   "received  into  the  Church" -of 


Holy  Rood,  Southampton,  on  30  May.  1748. 
*'  having  been  baptized  before."  He  wa» 
bom  one  year  before  Isaac  died,  and  I 
cannot  help  thinking  that  his  father  Peter 
(No.  1)  was  the  son  of  Enoch  or  Thomaa 
Watt«.     Can  any  one  clear  up  this  point  ? 

My  mother  Cecilia  Ann  Bull  (bom  1834^ 
died  1895),  the  daughter  of  James  Pet<>r 
Howard  (bom  180i,  died  1865)  of  White- 
hoads  Wood  Park,  Shirley,  bore  a  atriking 
resemblance  to  Isaac  Watts. 

James  Peter  Howard's  father  was  William 
Howard  (bora  1771,  died  1858},  who  married 
Ann  Watts  (bom  1777.  died  1843),  the 
daughter  of  Peter  Watte  (No.  2).

have  in  a  few  cases  been  selected  as  indicating 
early  printers  or  booksellers  in  different

been  culled  almost  at  random  from  books 
that  come  nearest  to  hand  at  the  moment 
of  writing. 

One  Bhyht  slip  I  may  be  permitted  to  point 
out  in  W.  C.  B.'s  interesting  list.  "Under 
Falkirk  he  puts  "  John  Reid.  printer,  1776." 
This,  I  think,  is  wrong.  There  waa  a  John 
Reid  in  Falkirk  about  the  time  indicated,  but 
he  happened  to  bo  a  minister  of  the  Gospel, 
not  ajprinter.  Probably  W.  C.  B.  has  mis- 
read Daniel  for  John.  The  career  of  Daniel 
Reid  as  a  printer  in  Falkirk  extended  from 
about  1760  to  1785.  He  was  printing  books 
in  1776.  ^  **

*•  mrivate  secretary  "  and  '*  his  Becretary  " 
(*Tho  Bible  in  Spain/  5th  ed..  1894,  p.  84) 
Borrow  intended  to  designate  the  aarae 
person. 

My  grandfather  was  in  constant  attendance 
upon  Mend i zabal  du ring  the  greater  part 
of  his  public  life — in  Spain,  in  France,  and  in 
England — and  it  sooniB  the  inn^t  reasonable 
thing  in  the  world  that  ho  ahoiild  have  been 
present  at  Borrow's  interview  with  the 
B{)ani8h  Prime  Miniiiter.  At  least,  it  is  cer- 
tain that  Mr.  F.  B.  Moore  was  the  person 
who  in  1836  would  best  have  answered  the 
description  of  Mendizabal's  secretary. 

An  apparent  difficulty  ia  that  my  grand- 
father was  not  an  author,  though  he  might 
well  have  been  described  aa  *'  a  fine,  intel- 
lectual-looking man.'*  Apart,  however,  from 
the  considerations  urgef  by  Mb,  Scott,  it 
seems  possible  that  Borrow*8  subsequent 
informant  may  have  confused  my  grand* 
father  with  his  elder  brother  John,  who  was, 
irom  time  to  time,  employed  by  the  EngUifh 
Government  in  missions  both  to  Spain  and 
Russia,  and  who,  as  tho  author  of  a  book  of 
travel  called  *A  Journey  to  Odessa,'  may 
have  enjoyed  some  slight  literary  fame, 
though  whether  he  wrote  anything  in 
Spanish  I  do  not  know. 

Ought  we,  however,  to  look  for  much 
from  Borrow  in  the  way  of  verification  of 
references  ?  He  saw,  at  his  memorable 
interview  with  the  famous  minister,  '*  a 
fine  intollectxial-looking  man/*  e%'idently 
the  minister's  secretary.  The  occasion  was 
a  great  one  for  Borrow  ;  he  improved  it»  as 
an  artist,  such  as  he,  would.  His  word- 
picture  of  Mendizabal  is  perfect,  and  exactly 
Agrees  with  a  lithograph  of  the  minister 
by  M.  Oauci  after  a  drawing  by  J.  Kotz, 
which  is  before  me  as  I  write.  The  secretary, 
too,  impressed  Borrow.  Porha^  he  recog- 
nized him  as  an  Englishman,  though  he 
does  not  say  so.  AHerwards  he  talks  of 
his  adventure  with  the  Prime  Minister  to 
people  whom  he  met,  some  or  one  of  whom 
•'  subsequently  informed "  him  that  the 
secretary  was  a  distinguished  Uterary  man, 
and  so  forth. 

With  Buch  materials,  did  not  Borrow  write 
about  Mendizabal*8  secretary  just  what 
might  have  boon  expected  of  his  highly 
developed  artistic  temperament  ?

for  a  little  space  in  your  columns  to  express

I  should  be  glad  to  be  allowed  to  inforn 
Mb.  Coubtkey  that  Richard  Gem,  th 
doctor,  was  nut,  as  ho  supposes,  the 
of  the  Mr.  Gem  who  settled  m  Bimungham 
the  latter  is  the  one  referred  to  by  Nash  r 
Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Dodford.  In  co 
nexion  with  this  it  has  always  struck^  v 
as  absurd  that  Thomas  Gem  is  described  i 
Nash  as  having  an  estate  of  160^.  a  year 
Dodford,  as  he  owned  five  other  propertii 
in  the  county. 

Dr,  Richard  Gem  had  inherited  from  hi 
father  a  small  estate,  separate  from  thei

The    allusion    to    Dr.    Cossio's   ex(

I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  compilers 
of  dictionaries  have  had  a  good  deal  to  do 
with  the  development  of  the  phrase  '*  storm 
in  a  teacup."  There  are  no  doubt  numer- 
ous variants,  some  of  them  very  oady.  as 
"storm  in  a  cream  bowl,*'  **  storm  in  a 
boiling  pot,"  "  storm  in  a  cup,"  "  storm  in  a 
puddle  ''  ;  but  that  any  instance  can  be 
cited  of  "  storm  in  a  t«acup "  occurring 
earlier  than  the  last  century  I  am  inclined 
strongly  to  doubt.  As  has  been  already 
pointed  out,  the  phrase  is  now  commonly 
used  as  a  translation  of  the  proverb  quoted 
by  Cicero  '  De  Legibus,*  "  fluctua  in  simpulo, 
ut  dicitur,  excitore  '*  (meaning  literally 
•'  to  stir  up  waves  in  a  ladle,  as  the  saying 
is ").     It   sometimes   appears   in   the   form.

Cicero'8  proverb  is  quoted,  but  without  an 
English  rendering*  An  edition  of  1 802 
does  not  contain  the  Latin  proverb.  Dr. 
E.  A.  Andrews  of  America,  who  completed 
hli  Latin  lexicon  based  on  that  of  Freund 
about  1854,  included  the  proverb,  and 
rendered  it  in  EngUah  as  "' &  tempest  in  a 
teapot."       It  appears,  with  the  aaroe  inter- 

gretation,  in  a  Latin  dictionary  issued  by

variants,  auch  as  ''  tempest  in  a  teacup,"

puddle,"  and  '*  tempest  in  a  spoon."  The 
French  have  the  saymg  **  uno  tempet«  dans

**  tempest  in  a  teapot"  is  transatlantic  in 
origin,  and  is  the  source  out  of  which  "  storm 
in  a  teacup  "  and  '*  storm  in  a  teapot "

curate  of  King's  Cliff  in  Northamp- 
in  August,  1719,  and  afterwards 
of  Goadby  Marwood  in  Leicoster-

that  family.  His  name  does  not  appear 
on  their  pediu:ree  at  i>.  879  of  the  same 
volume  ;  but  ne  may  nave  been  a  younger 
son  of  Robert  Peck  (who  died  1695)  and 
Elizabeth  (TJephson)  his  wife,  who  are 
mentioned  therein.  Ehzabeth'a  surname  ia 
left  blank  by  Nichols. 

2.  Francis  Peck  (1720-49),  son  of  the 
antic^uary  by  Anne,  daughter  of  Fdward 
Curtw  of  Stamford.  He  was  Rector  of 
Gimby.  LincoUi£>hire. 

3.  Francis  Peck,  Rector  of  Saltwood  with 
the  chapel  of  Hythe  atmexed.  to  which  he 
was  inducted  June,  1674.  He  died  in  1706, 
and  probably  waa  the  father  of  the  West- 
minster scholar  of  Trinity  mentioned  by 
G.  F.  R.  B. 

4.  Francis  Peck.  A.B.,  Rector  of  Orle- 
Btone,  Kent,  15  February,  1710.  resigned 
1715.  It  is  |ust  possible  that  he  may  have 
been  the  Old  Westminster  above  referred  to 
who  graduated  A-B.  in  1709.  The  dates 
ehow  that  he  may  also  have  been  the  author 
of  '  To  v^s  oytoi'  •  and  the  memorial  verses 
on  Qucon  Anne  mentioned  by  Mb,  Scott  ; 
but  both  of  these  works  are  generally  attri-

ABais  OF  Women  (II  S.  ii.  109).— Boutell 
teaches  that  the  second  wife's  arms  should 
*'  occupy  the  lower  part  of  the  space  origin- 
ally occupied  by  those  of  the  former  wife, 
or  that  part  of  the  shield  which  in  a  quartered 
shield  would  be  termed  the  fourth  quarter  " 
('  Heraldry,  Ancient  and  Modem,'  p.  224). 

The  arms  of  the  departed  wife  should  be 
relegated  to  the  second  quarter.  I  f  the 
new-comer  be  an  heiress,  her  contribution 
to  the  husband's  bearings  must,  I  think, 
be  blazoned  on  a  shield  of  pretence  at 
fosse  point,  St.  Swithin. 

The  husband*  impales  the  arms  of  his  wife 
during  her  lifetiJue,  i.e.,  if  she  ia  not  an 
heiress.  If,  however,  she  is  an  heirees.  and 
sole  representative  of  her  father's  family, 
then  her  husband  bears  her  arms  over  his 
own  on  an  escutcheon  of  pretence.  Her 
son  would  not,  however,  bear  hi*  father's 
shield,  with  his  mother's  impaled  arms,  but 
would  have  only  his  father's  arms,  t.e.,  if 
liis  mother  was  not  an  heiress  ;  but  if  she 
was  an  heiress,  then  he  would  quarter  his 
mother's  arms  in  the  usual  way.  It  will  be 
seen  that  quarterings  may  be  multiplied  in 
cases  of  the  wives  when  they  are  heiresses.

The  following  passage  from  Clark's  '  In- 
troduction to  Heraldry "  seems  to  answer 
the  question  proposed.  Quoting  Gerard 
LfiRh  on  the  botiring  of  several  coat-armourB 
pale-wiso  in  one  escutcheon,  it  aays  :  "  If 
a  man  marry  two  wives,  the  tirst  shall  be 
placed  on  the  siniBter  Bide  of  the  chief  part, 
and  the  aecond^s  coat  on  the  base  impaled 
with  the  husband."  Information  is  also 
given  as  to  men  who  marry  throe,  four,  five, 
six,  or  seven  wives.  See  '  Introduction  to 
Heraldry/  pp.  67-8.  W.  S.  S. 

Sib  John  Alleys  (11  S.  ii-  88). — The 
ex-Lord  Mayor  of  this  nnmo  died  in  August 
or  oarly  in  September.  1545.  His  successor 
as  Alderman  of  Lime  Street  Ward  was 
elected  on  10  September  of  that  year 
(Guildhall  Records  Kepertory,  11,  fo.  199; 
Letter-Book  Q,  fo.  144  b).  I  have  hitherto 
understood  that  he  was  the  t€«tator 
whose  will,  dated  S  August,  1646,  and 
proved  15  January.  1545/6  (PX.C.  1  Alen). 
IS  stated  by  Mb.  Wainenvkioht  to  have 
been  made  by  a  brother  of  tho  same 
name.  No  other  will  which  can  be  tk^igncd 
to  the  ex-Lord  Mayor  is  to  be  found  in  P.C.C. 
records,  and  the  dates  I  have  quoted  car* 
tainly  suggest  the  identification  of  the 
civic  magnate  with  the  testator.  If,  as 
Mr.  ■WAINE^*^UG^T  states,  he  had  a  brother 
also  named  John,  the  fact  of  hid  will  being 
mode  and  proved  at  those  dates  is  a  singular 
coincidenoe.  1  should  like  to  know  the 
authority  for  the  existence  of  this  brother, 
it  should  be  noted  that  the  testator  of  the 
will  referred  to  is  described  as  a  knight,  and 
I  can  find  no  trace  of  a  second  Sir  John  Aleyn 
contemporary  with  the  Lord  Mayor.

Prcsuraablj'  in  the  fire  of  1834  the  Speaker's 
chair  was  destroyed.  There  is  no  mndejice 
to  the  contrary  in  the  '  Report  of  the  Lords 
of  the  Council  *  on  the  destruction  of  the 
Houses  of  Parliament,  and  Brayley  and 
Britton  (*  Westminster  Palace*)  do  not 
mention  the  chair  or  its  preservation, 
although  they  would  hardly  have  overlooked 
so  interesting  a  point  if  it  had  occurred- 

It  is  scarcely  probable,  in  view  of  tho  fact 
that  it  was  wanted  at  onco.  that,  having 
been  saved,  it  would  have  l?een  sold  or  lent 
to  a  Masonic  lodge  at  Sunderland.  Plato 
xxxix.  of  the  last-mentioned  work  ( *  The 
House  of  Commons  as  fitted  up  in  1 835  ' ) 
shows  a  chair  with  canopy  supported  by 
two  fluted  Corinthian  cohunns  surmoimted 
by  tho  royal  arms.  Perhaps  before  1839 
this  had  been  replaced  by  another,  and  so 
it  may  have  coiue  to  the  Masonic  lodge, 
and  with  slight  alterations  it  would  oe 
eminently  suitable.        Aleck  A3Bahams.

entered  into  a  long  lawsuit  %vith  Qvi^rard

Most  liiographies  that  I  have  seen  give 
tho  name  as  "  Joseph  Marie  Qu^rard.*' 
My  impression  is,  however,  that  his  full 
name  was  Joseph  Jean  or  Joan  Joseph 
Marie  Qu6rard.  The  pseudonym  quoted 
seems  to  lend  countenance  to  this  conclusion, 
"  Jozon "  being  apparently  a  *'fakod" 
presentment  of  Joseph  and  Joan.

NiCLB :  Knighthood  Bestowed  Twice 
(US.  ii.  24,  73.  94,  133).— A  few  words  in 
reply.  I  wrote  (p.  73):  *' Anstis  quotes 
from  Sprott's  '  Chronicle  *  the  fragment 
published  by  Heame."  I  gave  tho  reference 
to  Anstis,  Numb,  xlviii.  ;  it  is  there  printed 
"  Fragment  relating  to  Ed.  IV.  published  by 
M'  Hearne  at  the  End  of  8prott*s  Chron..

passage  on  p.  295,  from  Sprott's  *  Chronicle,' 
!Heame*s  edition  itaolf.  Tho  fragment  is 
not  only  *'  bound  in  tho  same  volume," 
but  is  an  integral  printed  portion  of  tho 
volimie,  and  when  I  used  the  word  "  Sprott,'" 
it  was  intended  to  bo  "  Sjjrott,  qiui  book," 
and  not  *' Sprott,  qua  chronicler  or  author," 
and  my  references  show  this.  There  is 
therefore  no  foundation  for  saying  that  I 
identified  tho  anonymous  chronicler  with 
Sprott,  or  that  I  attributed  this  fragmentary 
document  to  Sprott.

Tho  instance,  cit^d  by  Mb.  F.  H.  Relton 
(arUA,  p.  134),  of  Sir  John  Dcthick  in  no 
way  invalidates  the  position  of  Mb.  Pink. 
There  were  many  such  cases,  as  no  one 
knows  better  than  Mr.  Pink.  But  after  the 
restoration  of  Charles  II.  honours  conferred 
during  the  Protectorate  were  regarded  as 
null  and  invalid,  and  "Sir"  John  Dethick 
was  not  accorded  tho  style  and  precedence 
of  a  knight  from  May,  1660,  until  the  dignity 
was  cuuferrt»d  upon  him  by  his  lawful 
sovereign  in  April,  1661. 

There  is  no  instance,  so  far  as  I  know,  of 
a  man  already  a  knight — i.e.,  so  constituted 
by  recognized  lawful  authority — receiving 
aimple  knighthood  afterwards^     The  case  of 


a    simple    knight    being    admitted    snt 
higher  order  of  knighthood  is  different 
doo9  not  affect  the  original  question 
the  assumed  knighthood  of  the  Bath 
ferred  on  Philip  in  1465. 

In  my  reply  on  p.  134  there  is  an  obvi<

Mr.  Rblton  is  right  as  to  Sir  Jol 
Dethick,  Bt.  As  is  well  known,  all 
honours  conferred  by  the  Protectors 
and  Richard  were  disallowed  at  tlie 
ration  ;  therefore  the  instance  of 
knighthood  referred  to  cannot  apply  tp\ 
matter  discussed.  Several  others  of 
well's  knights  were  reknighted  Iw  Charlea  _. 
and  for  the  same  reason.         W,  D.  Prsic

V  Wln'txttrss  we  are  indebted  for  tlu-ir  use,) 
!hcd  wood -cuts  have  been  cxecutwl." 

tartioulars  of  the  discovery  are  said 
tinritfT  to  have  been  condensed  from 
on'a  own  notes. 

ng  the  short  reign  of  KinK  Uirhnrd  III., 
ly  w%«  ere<^t«d  at  the  north-w^st  ex- 
of  tlie  Palace  Court,  at  WVatminster. 
ol    coDimunicatioD     between    the 


falac*"  and  thr  pn»mi8«  belonging  to  the  Abhey, 
t  stood  almoflt  directly  fiicing  the  Kate  of  the 
Uanctoary.  but  a  little  I0  the  north  of  it,  and  it 
represented  Iwlh  in  Ralph  A^gas's  Plfin  of  Lcmdon. 
publiBhed  early  in  Queen  EIiz:ab<-t)i'A  rttRn,  end  in 
Holhir's  View  of  the  N*-w  Palace  Yarci,  enuraved 
about  the  year  HUO.  SubsL-queutly  all  the 
gateway  was  pulleil  duH-n,  except  the  south  waII, 
which  seemed  as  n  separating  wall  between  Ihe 
well-known  Mitre  Tavern,  in  Union  Street,  and  the 
Horn  Tavern,  which  stood  at  the  western  ex- 
tremity of  the  T'atare  Yard.  In  June,  1807, 
when  the  taverns  and  other  houKes  in  Union 
Street  were  demolished,  to  make  way  for  the 
*  improvementa  '  (so  styled)  at  Westminster,  the 
remaining  wall  was  takendown,  and  in  that  wall, 
distin^tuished  by  its  aixe  fr*»in  the  other at<ines,  the 
Capitnl  wna  found.  By  seiiidi'UBly  iittending  the 
workmen,  Mr.  Captm  pivserved  tlie  sculptiirc 
from  any  further  damage  than  wliat  it  had 
received  when  built  up  in  the  wall  in  King  Itlchard 

the  Third's  time ^Vfter  keeping  it  witli  great 

rare  for  many  years,  3Ir.  Capon  eventually  sold 
it  for  one  hundred  Kuineas,  to  the  eccentric  Sir 
Gregory  Page  Turner,  Bart. . . . 

"  It  has  an  indented  legend  on  the  abaciu, 
that,  in  connexion  with  the  sculpture  itaelf* 
decidedly  refers  to  the  bestowing  of  some  grant, 
or  ehartert  by  King  X\'iUiam  itu/uj,  to  OislA^riua, 
Sub-Abbot  of  WeatTninater." 

The  prominent  figures  on  on©  of  the  four 
sides  had  been  "chopped  off." 

As  to  the  other  sides.  No.  1  shows  the 
King  holding  a  roll  or  charter,  with  thft 
Abbot  on  one  side  and  a  monk  on  the  other. 
On  the  abacus  is'Willelmo  secvn —  and  two 
broken  letters. 

No.  2  shows  the  Abbot  bearing  the 
charter  and  (?)  a  key.  a  monk  on  eefh  iiido. 
The  remaining  inscription  is  — v  .  svbabbe  . 
018LE —  (or  7   uiulcb). 

No.  3  re[>res<*nts  the  Aljlvit  as  standing 
before  a  kind  of  reading-deek,  held  by  an 
attendant,  on  which  are  the  open  Soriptiiree, 
with  the  words  EOO  sr^i  on  the  dexter  page. 
Bc-hind  the  Abbot  is  another  figure,  partly 
mutilat€>d,  who  is  also  holding  a  book.  The 
letters  re-maining  on  the  abacus  appear  to 
read  thus :  e  .  clavstrV  .  et  rell  . ;  but  the 
last  two,  from  their  broken  state,  are  perhaps 
questionable. 

At  the  end  of  liis  article  B.  says  : — 

"  To    what    particular    Krnnt,    1  ir    instrument, 

these  sculptures  refer  is   unknown Were  tlic

With  the  suljficriptiona  "  Wm.  Capon,

woodcuts  (from  the  same  blocks)  appear  in

xneuts,  on  a  reduced  ficaJo,  also  appear  on 
plate  XXXV.  A  short  description  and  account 
are  given  in  the  letterpress. 

In  this  book  the  gateway  is  called  (p.  444) 
the  "High  Tower  at  Westminster^'  (ref. 
Stryjje's  Stuw'a  *  London,'  vol.  ii.  p.  634) 
and  '"The  Queen's  Majesty's  Gate,  in  King 
Street "  (ref.  ibid.,  p.  635).  Brayley  and 
Britton  bImo  quote  from  Maitland*8  *  History 
and  Survey  of  London,'  1772  (and  I766)» 
vol.  ii.  p.  1341.  where  it  is  said  that  the 
gate  on  the  west  of  New  Palace  Yard 

"  called  Highgate  (a  vcrv  beautiful  aud  stately 
ediflco)  was  situate  at  the  East  End  of  Union- 
street ;  but  It  having  occasioned  gtf&t  Obstruc- 
tions to  the  ^[embers  of  Parliament  in  th^ir 
Passage  to  and  from  their  respective  Houses,  the 
same  was  taken  down  in  the  y^ar  1700." 

Brayley  and  Britton  then  speak  of  the 
demohtion  of  the  remnant  of  the  gate  in 
June,  1807,  and  the  discovery  of  the  capital. 

Dean  Stanley  in  his  '  Historical  Memorials 
of  Westminster  Abbey,'  3rd  ed..  1869,  p.  422, 
or  6th  ed.,  1882,  p.  362.  refers  to  this 
capital  as  found  in  1831.  This  error  per- 
haps arises  from  his  having  reckd  a  enort 
account  of  it  in  Th^  OenUetnarCa  Magazine 
of  1831,  pt.  i.  p.  545.  (Ho  erroneously 
refers  to  pt.  ii.) 

The  Oentleman^s  Magasifie  contains  a 
short  report  of  the  exhibition,  at  a  meeting 
of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  on  2  Jime, 
1831,  by  John  Britton,  of  a  "drawing  by 
the  lato  Mr.  Capon  of  a  car\'ed  capital  found 
some  years  since  witliin  the  precincts  of 
Westminster  Abbey."  Reproductions  of  the 
three  inscriptions  are  given,  which  are  not 
quite  correct,"  if  those  which  appear  in 
'  The  Graphic  Illustrator  *  and  Brayley  and 
Britton's  '  History  of  the  Ancient  Palace ' 
are  so. 

Dean  Stanley  refers  to  *  Vet.  Mon.,' 
voL  v.  plate  xcvii.  p.  4.  I  have  failed  in  tny 
attempt  to  verify  this  reference  at  tho 
Briti-Hh  MuBOum.  Concerning  the  capital 
which  was  found  in  1807,  Brayley  and 
Britton  say  (p.  445}  that  it 

•'  must  have  been  executed  to  commemorate  the 
t>estowal  of  some  valuable  grant  or  cnnQmiation, 
by  Sing  WUHam  Rufus,  on  Qiglebertus,  Abbot  of 
Westminster.  In  all  probabilitv,  therefore,  it 
had  formed  part  of  a  building  within  the  Abbey.'* 

It  may  perhaps  have  found  its  way  back 
to  the  Abbej'.  If  it  has  not,  it  would  bo 
interestinp  to  know  where  it  is,  if  it  still 
eodsts,  and  whether  it  could  not  be  restored 
to  the  Abbey,  where  it  ought  to  be. 

According  to  *  Patersou's  Roads,'  16th 
ed.,  1822,  Sir  Gregory  Osborne  Page  Turner, 
St;  to  whom  apparently  the  capital  was  sold 


by  Mr.  Capon,  occupied  two  houses, 
Battlesden  Park,  near  Hockliffo  and  it 
Bryant,  Beds,  and  another  (no  name  gi 
near  Black  Thorn  Heath  and  Bicester 
According  to  G.  E.  C.'s  *  Coir 
Baronetage,'  1906,  the  Page  Turner  esta 
Beds,  Oxon,  and  Middlesex  passed  in 
on  the  death  of  the  widow  of  th< 
baronet,  to  Mr.  Frederick  Augustus  Bis 
He  in  1903  assumed  the  name  of 
Turner  in  lieu  of  Blaydes.

Then  for  the  la^t  time  he  spoke  with  his 
[aiUUesH  son  Kioliard*  As  the  formal  kiss  of 
iwsure  was  given,  the  count  caught  his

RtTSSiAN  Sayino  :  Shem,  Ham,  and- 
Japuet. — In  a  tranalator's  foot-note  to  » 
novel  of  Russion  exile  I  read  that  formerly 
in  Ktissia  and  Poland  it  was  said  that 
Japhet  was  the  father  of  the  nobility,  Shem 
of  the  Jews,  and  Ham  of  the  peasants  and 
humble  classes.  Apparently  the  name 
''Ham"  still  clings  to  peasants  in  sonic 
districts.  Francis  P.  Mabcthant.

Tasojany  and  England.  —  A  very 
curious  early  mention  of  Tammany,  and  in 
connexion  with  England,  is  to  bo  found  in 
No.  16  of  The  Oracle  :  BeWa  New  World. 
published  in  London  18  June.  1789.  Under 
the  heading  '  United  Stntee  *  is  a  com- 
munication from  Albany,  New  York, 
saying : — 

*'  Yesterday,  April  23,  being  the  Anniversary  of

was  celebrated  by  the  Sons  of  St.  floorgeandOeuUe- 
men  Visitors  who  dined  together  at  Lewis's  Tavern. 
After  dinner  [eleven]  toasts  were  drank." 

Of  these,  the  third  was  "The  United 
States  of  America  '*  ;  the  fourtli.  '*  That 
illustrious  Son  of  St.  George,  George  Washing- 
ton, President  of  tho  United  States  "  ;  the

Nicholas,  and  St.  Patrick,  long  smoke

A  special  interest  attaches  to  the  mention 
of  *'  St.  Tammany's  Wigwam "  in  this 
paragraph,  and  notably  to  the  date  of  that 
mention,  for,  according  to  the  generally 
accepted  history  of  the  Society  of  Tam- 
many or  Columbian  Order,  the  famous  New 
York  organization — distinct,  however,  from 
the  purely  Democratic  "Tammany  '* — held 
its  first  meeting  on  12  May,  1789,  just  three

capital  of  New  York  State.  *  The  World 
Almanao  and  Encyclopiedia  for  1910,*  pub- 
hshed  at  New  York,  gives  (p.  547)  the 
following  account  of  it : — 

"  This  organization  was  formed  jn  1780,  being  the 
€f!eot  of  ft  (Kipular  tnovomcnt  in  New  York  having 
primftrily  in  view  n  oounter-weipht  to  the  ao-cftlled 
arifltuoratio'  i^ooinjtvof  theCincinnati.  ItwaeeMen- 
tiaXly  anti- Federalist  or  demooratio  in  its  oharacter, 
and  ita  ohiuf  founder  was  WlUiani  Mooney,  an 
upholsterer  and  a  iiativebom  American  of  Irish 
«xtraction.  It  took  its  first  title  from  a  noted 
anojent,  wise,  and  friendly  chief  of  the  Delaware 
tribe  of  Indiana,  named  Tammany,  who  had,  for  the 
want  of  a  better  subject,  been  caiiooiKed  by  the 
soldiers  of  the  Revolution  ac  the  Amerioan  patrun 
aainU  The  firat  meeting  was  held  May  12,  1789. 
The  Aot  of  Incorporation  was  posaod  in  1806.  The 
Crand  8aohom  and  thirteen  Sachems  were  designed 
to  tyi>ify  the  Preaident  and  tlie  Oovemoni  of  the 
thirteen  original  States.  William  Mooney  wu  the 
first  Grand  Saoheni.  The  Society  is  nominally-  a 
oharitAblo  and  social  organization,  and  is  distinot 
from  the  (!)encral  Committee  of  the  Tammany 
Democracy,  which  is  a  puUtical  organization,  and 
cannot  uae  Tammany  Hall  without  the  consent  of 
the  Society." 

It  may  be  added  that  the  officers,  in 
addition  to  the  Grand  Sachem,  the  thirteen 
Sachems,  a  Secretary,  and  a  Treaaurer,  are  n 
Sagamore  and  a  WiBkinskie — whatever  these 
presumably  Indian  terms  may  preciHcly 
mean.  Airbed  F.  Robbins.

Belgian  Students'  Soncj. — The  subjoined

BIBLIOGRAPHY    OF    LONDO 

(11  S.  i.  407.  495;    ii.  53,  113.) 

There  are,  as  W.  S.  S.  remarks,  two  way 
of  compiling  a  bibliography  of  Londoi 
There  is  tho  good,  accurate  way,  in  whk 
the  work  is  undertaken  as  a  labour  of  Iovq 
and  there  is  the  bad.  perfunctory  waj',  i 
which  it  is  done  at  the  bidding  of  a  taal 
master.  But  the  scope  of  a  bibliography 
a  different  thing  from  the  way  in  which  it 
compiled,  and  on  this  point  I  fear  I  cann 
go  as  far  as  your  correspondent.  To  inclui 
in  a  bibliography  of  London  **  e\'erj'  boo 
pamphlet,  or  smgle  sheet  published,  printe 
or  written  in  London  "  is,  in  my  opinu 
totally  unnecessary,  partly  because  ti 
work  has  been  already  done  more  or  le 
completely  by  Lowndes,  AHibone,  Hazlit 
and  other  bibliographers,  and  partly  becaa 
it  is  in  excess  of  tho  information  nsual 
required  by  London  students.  If  we  inclut 
in  a  bibliography  of  London  every  bai 
printed  in  London,  we  might  just  as  wi 
insert  in  it  a  biography  of  every  person  wl 
has  been  bom  in  London.  With  regard  1 
the  provinces,  the  case  is  different.  K 
bibUography  of  Exeter  or  Nottingham  wool 
be  complete  without  an  account  of  the  pn 
ductions  of  the  presses  of  those  towns.  Tl

when  a  '  new*  veralou,  proparod  by  John  Oxeuford, 

was  ffiven  on  April    lith,  188H ;    the  other  by

**Dioken8  mode  two  propositions  to  dramatize, 
or  to  collaborate  in  arainatizations  of  *  Oliver 
Twist,'  bat  neither  came  to  anything.  One  was 
bo  Macreody,  in  November,  183H.  The  great  actor 
appreciated  the  kindueM  and  Keourous  intentioti  o{ 
Dickons,  but  assured  him  of  the  utt«r  impractioa- 
bllity  of  the  book  fordramatic  i>un>ofles.  Tbeother 
was  to  Frederick  Vatea,  and  although  no  arrange- 
ments were  consummated  between  them,  Yates 
produced  a  vereioD.  which  was  given  at  the  Adelphi 
referred  to  above.'* 

Tho  dramatized  version  by  Mr.  J.  ComynB 
Carr  was  produced  at  His  Majesty's  Theatre 
on  10  Jul^,  1906. 

Accorduig  to  Forster  the  Adeluhi  repre- 
sentation was  "  by  a  theatrical  adapter 
named  Stirling."  Dickens  appears  to  have 
witnessed  this  production  and  also  that  bv 
Almar  at  tho  Surrey  Theatre  (see  Forater  s 
*  Life,'  Book  II.  chap.  iv.). 

In  Mr.  John  P.  Anderson's  Bibliography  at 
the  end  of  Sir  Frank  T.  Marzials's  '  Life 
of  Dickens  '  ("  Great  Writ+^rs  ''  Series)  the 
adaptations  of  Bamott  and  Almar  only  are

The  Literary  Oazeite,  31  March,  1838.  is 
responsiblo  for  the  following  i — 

**  •  Oliver  Twist,*  a  pieoe  so  called,  was  produoed 
here  [St.  James's  Theatre],  and  we  regret  to  say, 
aot«d  with  great  ability  ;  for  a  thing  more  unfit  for 
ony  stage  except  that  of  a  Penny  Theatre  we  never 
saw.  We  believe  it  was  a  benefit  pieoe,  but  still 
the  management;  ought  to  have  objeoted  to  it." 

At  this  tirno  Webster,  Wright,  Miss  Allison 
(Mrs.  Se5^nol^•),  and  Mrs.  Stirling  were 
members  of  the  St.  James's  company. 

Biographies  and  bibliographies  of  Charles 
Dickens  make  no  mention  of  any  dramatic 
version  by  him  of  '  Oliver  Twist.*  The 
story  of  iuB  novel,  arranged  by  Edward 
Stirling,  was  first  given  in  dramatic  form 
at  the  Adelplii,  when  Frederick  Yates,  co- 
manager  with  Terry,  made  a  very  marked 
hit  aa  Fagin.  Dickens,  as  John  Forster 
tells  us,  incessantly  complained  of  the 
stage  adaptations  of  his  works,  although 
he  had  sometimes  a  good  word  to  say  for 
the  actors,  and  notably  for  Yates's  per- 
formances in  his  more  eccentric  characters.

The  Stapeltons  of  Yorkshire,  whose  history 
haa  been  written  by  Mr.  H.  E.  Chetwynd- 
Stapylton,  derive  their  name  from  Stapleton- 
on-Tees,  between  Kichmond  and  Darlington.

Native,*  seems  to  merit  inclusion  in  this 
imposing  category.  The  *'  reddleman  "  was 
he  who  provideci  "  the  bright  pigment  so 
largely  ueiod  by  shepherds  in  preparing  the 
sheep  for  the  fair,'*  and  he  was  formidablo 
of  aspect  because  of  the  prevalent  flaming 
colour  he  received  through  the  handling  of 
his  wares.  **  Reddle."  says  the  noveTist. 
**  spreads  its  lively  hues  over  everything 
it  lights  on.  and  stamps  unmistakably,  as 
with  the  mark  of  Cam,  any  person  who 
has  handled  it  half  an  hour.^'  Little  wonder 
is  it,  therefore,  that  the  roaming,  elusive 
merchant  should  have  had  a  portentous 
significance  for  the  childish  imagination. 
In  *  The  Return  of  the  Native,'  chau.  ix., 
the  relative  positions  are  thus  vividly  de- 
picted : — 

''  A  child's  first  Right  of  a  reddlemsn  waa  fto 
•epoch  in  his  life.  That  blood -co  loured  Hifure  wm 
a  ^ublinmtiou  of  all  the  horrid  drcanm  which  had

'  The  reddleman  is  eominK  for  yoii!'  hod  been  the 
fonnulated  threat  of  VVessex  muUiem  for  many 
Hentti-ttlions.  He  was  successfully  supplanted  for 
a  while  by  BiioDnparte:  but  as  process  of  lime 
rendered  the  latter  personage  stale  and  ineffective, 
the  older  phrase  rbsuroed  its  early  promineuct:. 
And  now  the  reddleman  ha«  in  his  turn  followed

Since  my  tjuery  was  in  print,  1  have  come 
across  some  mformation  in  '  N.  &  Q.^  which 
partly  satisfies  my  requirements  (7  S.  is., 
447  ;  X.  95,  214,  3"l7).  According  to  an  old 
and  valued  correspondent,  Y.  S.  M.,  Sir 
John  Ivory  was  knighted  at  Windsor, 
20  May,  1683,  To  have  obtained  this 
honour  he  must  have  been  a  person  of  some 
note.  His  father,  Capt.  William  Ivory, 
is  said  to  have  been  one  of  the  Croniwellian 
settlers  in  Ireland,  and  to  have  obtained 
large  grants  of  land  at  New  Ross  and  else- 
where. He  is  stated  to  have  died  on  18  July, 
1 684.  aged  69.  He  mu.st  therefore  have 
boon  cjuite  a  young  man  when  he  settled  in 
Ireland. 

The  family  of  Ivory  is,  I  believe,  of 
Scottish  origin,  and  is  distinct  from  that  of 
Ivory,  or  Perceval.  I  should  bo  grateful 
for  any  jiarticulars  of  the  family  prior  to 
the  marriage  of  John  Ivory  with  Anne 
Talbot.  W,  F,  PaiDBAUX.

Admig  Hill  was  in  favour  with  printers 
about  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  centtiry  and 
the  beginning  of  the  seventeenth.  Besides 
Windot,  VaUintineSimsor  Simmes,  whose  sign

SORROW  "  (11  S.  ii.  160). — In  The  Spectator, 
No.  7,  Addison  shows  how  asking  at  table 
for  salt  may  possibly  be  a  prelude  to  sorrow. 
As  a  variant  on  the  point  raised  in  the 
miory  his  illustration  may  be  worth  giving. 
He  presents  a  hoetees  surging  with  little 
superstitions,  and  makes  hor  call  upon  her 
ffuest  to  pass  a  pinch  of  salt  on  the  point  of 
his  knife.     The  narrative  thus  proceeds  : — 


**Thifl  I  did  in  such  il  trepidatiun  and  hurry  of 
obedience, 


1  uiu  in  sucn  u  trepiuatiun  ana  nurryoi 
s,  that  I  let  it  dro|)  ny  the  way  ;  at  which 
she  inimediutt^ly  startled,  und  aaid  it  fell  towarda 
hor.  U]X)u  thin  I  looked  very  blank  ;  and,  observing 
the  concern  uf  the  whole  table,  be^an  to  consider 
niyBolf,  with  some  confusion,  as  a  person  that  had 
brought  a  dlaaHter  ujion  the  family.  The  lady, 
however,  recoverinp  herself  after  n  little  apaoe,  said 
to  her  huflbaiid  with  a  bikH.  *  My  dear,  misfortunes 

never  oomesinRle.' *  Do  not  you  roiuembcr,  child,' 

says  she,  '  t!mt  the  ingoon-nouso  fell  the  very 
afternoon  that  our  carelosa  wonoh  spilt  the  salt 
upon  the  table?'  '  Yes,'  says  he,  *  my  dear,  and  the 
next  post  brought  ua  an  oocouot  uf  the  battle  of 
AlmanBo.* " 

Tho&ias  Bayxe. 

I  have  heard  thi.<  expression  many  times 
from  my  mother,  a  native  of  Norfolk,  and 
1  well  remember  as  a  lad  in  that  county  the 
comparatively  large  number  of  salt-cellars 
in  evidence  at  dinners  and  suppers,  placed 
upOD  the  tables,  preamnably,  to  enable  the 
c:ue9ta  to  avoid  having  to  ask  their  neigh* 
hours  to  pass  the  salt. 

I  have  a  faint  recollection  of  having  aski.Ml 
for  an  explanation  and  being  told  that,  at  the 
Last  Suppor,  Judas  passed  the  salt  to  our 
Lord.  But  I  remember  rather  more  dis- 
tinctly hearing  that  if  you  received  the  salt 
from  any  one  who  bore  you  a  grudge  or 
wished  you  ill,  the  salt  would  carry  with  it 
some  mystical  power  of  f ulhhuent. 

W.  B.  Gebish. 

The  usual  form  of  this  proverbial  saying  is 
"  Help  to  salt,  help  to  sorrow." 

Wm.  Jaogabd. 


We  were  wont  to  say  in  Kesteven,  when 
the  force  of  circumstances  or  lapse  of  good 
manners  made  any  one  put  salt  on  another's 
plate  :  "If  you  help  mo  to  salt,  you  help  me 
to  sorrow."  I  never  heard  that  it  wa* 
fateful  to  ask  for  the  ooadimont. 

St.  Swinnx. 

Substitute  the  words  *'  help  to  "  for  "ask 
for,"  and  I  have  known  this  proverb  all  my 
life.  havin(if  repeatedly  hoard  it  so  expressed 
both  in  Northamptonaliiro  and  Warwick- 
shire, and  also  in  London.  This  Cheshire 
version  is  quite  new  to  me. 

John  T.  Paoe. 

In  Devonshire,  if  at  table  any  one  pro- 
poses to  help  another  to  salt,  the  remark 
IS  usually  heard  :  "  If  you  help  me  to  salt, 
j'ou  will  help  me  to  sorrow."

Apple  Tree  floweriwg  in  Atttumn 
(11  S.  ii.  149), — A  fruit  tree  flowering  in

cession of  abnormal  seasons.  In  t  ho 
*  Dover  Year-Book,*  under  18  Oct.,  1852. 
is  the  following  : —

John  Bavinoton  Jonis, 


Some  fifty  years  ago  a  woman  in  Lincoln- 
shire was  accused  of  having  compassed  the 
death  of  her  husband,  and  it  was  testified 
that  she  had  remarked:  '^I  believe  John 
will  die,  for  the  apple  trees  are  in  full  bloom 
again."  St.  Sw^THI^*. 

At  Easter,  1909,  I  planted  some  apple 
trees,  which  flowered  the  same  autumn. 
On  a  local  gardener  seeing  them,  he  said 
that  he  never  liked  to  see  apple  trees  flower 
out  of  season,  as  it  meant  a  death  in  the 
family  before  the  yeeu*  was  out.  I  am  glad 
to  say  this  prediction  was  not  verified. 

A.  Lewis. 

Worcester  Park,  Surrey. 

Mrs.  Gutcli,  in  her  *Folk-Xx)re  of  Yorkshire 
(North  Riding  and  tho  Ainsty).*  1901. 
p.  68,  says  : — 

**  If  part  of  aD  ap^le  tree  blossoms  when  the  fruit 
on  other  portions  is  nearly  formed,  it  batokens 
death  in  the  owner's  family  within  the  year.** 

The  same  belief  prevailed  in  Norfolk 
when  I  was  a  lad,  and  1  dii^tinctty  recollect 
removing  the  blooms  from  a  tree  in  order  to 
save  mv  mother  from  unnecessary  alarm. 

W.  B.  Gebish. 

Among  the  superstitions  of  the  county 
of  Worcester  is  that  to  have  apples  and 
blossoms  on  a  tree  at  tho  same  time  is  a 
sign  of  a  forthcoming  death  in  the  family 
{Oeni.  Mag.,  1855.  part  ii..  p.  385).

ite  Ruvigny'fl  book  '  Tho  Nobilities  of 
Inwpe,*  which  appeared  in  The  AthencBum 
^  i  July  last,  the  reviewer  Hayti  that 
''linhal  Maodonald^s  Preach  dukedom 
<rfthe  Kmpire  reminds  us  of  our  inability 
^  trace  the  similar  but  ancient  Angevin- 
^ttpolitan  title  now  borne  by  the  son  of  the 
iJucde  La  Tr^moUle  " — the  title  in  question 
[iwiauthat  of  "  Prince  de  Tarento." 

1 6ave  not  seen  the  Marquis  de  Ruvigny^s 

■Jw-^k,  but  I  am  nurpriflod  to  find  that  th» 

^ein  and  descent  of  tliis  title  have  not  been 

in  it-     I  can  conceive  no  more  fasci- 

itin^   work    than   one   which   relates   the 

iiitory  of  the  old  feudal  familie-s  of  France — 

tiramont  and  Hohan,  Noailles  and  Morte- 


mart.  La  Rochefoucauld  and  La  Tour 
d*Auvergne,  and  many  others,  amongst 
which  that  of  La  Tr6ino!illo  presents  not  the 
fewest  romantic  episodes,  from  the  days  of 
the  crusader  of  1006.  Guy  de  La  Tr^raoiUe, 
to  those  of  the  gallant  Prince  de  Talmond, 
who  was  shot  in  La  Vendue  when  fighting 
for  the  cause  of  tho  Bourbons.  Claiming 
descent  from  the  sovereign  Counts  of  Poitou, 
and  holding  the  hereditary  office  of  Great 
Chamberlain  of  Burgundy,  in  1446  Louis  I. 
de  La  Tr^moille  married  Marguerite  d*Am- 
boise^  a  great  heiress  who  brought  into  the 
family  the  principality  of  Talmond  and  the 
viscounty  of  Thouars,  which  in  li563  was 
orect^  into  a  duchy,  tho  dukodom  of  La 
Tr^moUlo  fallowing  not  long  afterwards, 
in  1595. 

In  1497-8  Pope  Alexander  VI.  planned  to 
marry  his  son,  Caesar  Borgia,  to  Charlotte 
of  Aragon,  Princesse  de  Taronte,  the  daughter 
and  heiress  of  Frederic,  Kinc  of  Naples, 
who  in  1501  was  dispossessLMi  of  hia  kingdom 
by  his  kinsman  Ferdinand  tho  Catholie. 
The  proposed  marriage  did  not  come  off, 
and  the  young  lady  was  wedded  to  the 
Covmt  Guy  XVI.  do  Laval.  Her  only 
daughter  and  heiress.  Anno  do  Laval,  wus 
married  in  1521  to  Francois  de  La  Trt-^rnoillo, 
Prince  de  Talmond,  the  great-grandson  of 
LouiH  I.  and  Marguerite  d'Ainboise,  who,  as 
legitimate  heir  to  the  throne  of  Naj)les  in 
right  of  his  wife,  aasumed  the  title  of  Prince 
de  Tarente.  Although  the  claims  of  the 
house  of  La  Tr6molUe  were  never  formally 
recognized,  they  were  acknowledged  to  a, 
certain  extent  by  Louis  XIV.,  who  in  1601^ 
allowed  the  members  of  the  faniily  to  n 
as  sovereign  princes,  and  gave  the  prince 
the  exceptional  right  of  the  tabouret  before' 
marriage.  The  title  of  Prince  de  Tarente 
has  always  been  homo  by  the  eldest  son  of 
the  Due  do  La  Tr^moillo,  with  precedence 
over  that  of  Prince  de  Talmond. 

The  reviewer  ab^o  names  as  of  interest 
the  legal  circumstances  by  which  the  Due 
de  La  Tr^inoillo  is  the  owner  by  descent  of 
Serrant,  tho  magnificent  residence  of  the 
Walshes.  Tliis  pro|>erty  came  into  the 
family  by  the  marriage  of  the  Duo  Cliarles 
de  La  TrdmolUe  with  Jos^hine  Eugenie;  j 
Valentino,  Comtesse  de  Serrant.  On  the 
death  of  that  lady  in  1887,  her  son,  the 
present  duke,  Louis  Charles  do  La  Tr<^- 
moille,  inherited  the  property.  An  extra- 
ordinary account  of  the  origin  of  the  WaUhoa 
of  Serrant  will  l>o  found  in  O'Callaghan's 
book,  *  The  Irish  Brigades  in  the  Serxnce 
of  France,'  1870,  pp.  94-7.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES,     [ii  rxtZTTwia 


VAXISHIXG  LONDON:  PROPRIETABY 
CHAPELS. 

With  the  paaamR  of  Belgravo  Chapol  the 
proprietary  chapelB  are  fast  becoming  relics 
of  bygone  times,  and  before  long  reaaers  of 

*  Tlie  Newcomes  '  will  be  wondering  what 
IB  the  meaning  of  *'  Lady  Whittlesea's 
Chapel."  imder  tho  pastorate  of  **  the 
beloved  and  popular  preacher,  that  elegant 
divine  tho  Rev.  Charles  Honoyman,"  with 
wine  cellars  imdemeath,  and  the  wine 
merchant's  name,  *'  Shorrick,*'  on  the  cellar 
door.  It  waa  the  counterpart  of  Bedford 
ChftpeL  formerly  in  BlooinHbury  Street, 
for,  like  '*  Lady  Whittteaea's  Chapel." 
Bedford  Chapel  had  wine  cellars  underneath. 
Mr.  George  Clinch  in  his  '  Bloomsbiiry  and 
St.  Gilee's  '  states  that  it  waa  first  opened 
in  1771,  being  held  on  lease  from  tho  Duke 
of  Bedford  from  Lady  Day,  1768: — 

*'  The  covenants  stAted  ttint  the  chapel  should  not 
be  ooQWorated,  and  that  nothing  should  be  douu  Jo 
it  except  proAohing,  roadiiiK  prayem  and  iifudma  in 
the  Ck>mnion  Prayer  Bookt  and  iulrninisterinK  the 
Sacrament.  The  clergymon'a  aalar}*  wfLs  at  the  aamA 
time  tixed  at  1(KV.  a  year  ;  or  if  two  miniftterB  should 
perform  the  duty,  the  one  offioiatiug  in  the  mominK 
was  to  bo  allowed  60f.  per  annum,  and  the  one  doinjE 
the  afternoon  duty  4(V.  per  annum." 

On  tho  4th  of  February,  1896,  tho  tearing 
down  of  thi»  chapel  was  commenced,  and 
Hb.    C.    Boase.    a    valued    contributor    to 

*  N.  &^  Q."  aa  well  as  the  *  D.X.B..'  gave  a 
sketch  of  its  history  in  '  N.  &  Q.'  of  the 
2lBt  of  March,  and  suggested  that,  as  these 
chapels  were  rapidly  disappearing,  *'  some 
facta  respecting  these  buildings  and  their 
histones  would  make  interesting  reading  in 

*  N.  &  Q.,'  more  particularly  as  hardly  any- 
thing is  to  be  found  on  the  subject  in  any 
one  of  the  numerous  books  written  about 
London." 

At  the  opening  of  the  chapel,  Mr.  Jork 
TucKETT  Stated  on  tho  30th  of  Mav  (8  fi. 
ix.  430)  the  Rev.  John  Trusler,  D.D..  its 
first  clerj^man,  preached,  and  in  Uie  evening 
Dr.  Dodd.  Col.  PrxdEaTTX  in  the  &ame 
number  mentions  tliat  a  pamphlet  in  liis 
possession,  *  An  Account  of  tne  Life  and 
Writinjrg  of  WilUam  Dodd.  LL.D.,  1777.' 
atatos  that  this  **  chapel,  which  was  built  in 
Charlotte  Street,  and  others  which  he 
became  a  sharer  in.  are  supposed  not  to  have 
succeeded  in  a  manner  answerable  to  liis 
oxpectations,"  and  that  the  losses  which  he 
thus  incurred  led  him  into  the  extravagant 
courses  which  resulted  in  his  ruin. 


Both  Ma.  BoASE  and  Col.  Pbibeattx 
refer  to  Bellew.  who  was  the  incumbent 
from  1862  to  1868.  During  his  ministry 
the  chttjiel  was  full  to  overflowing,  and  his 
reading  of  the  Litany  will  never  be  forgott-en 
by  those  who  heard  it.  In  the  vestry  he 
would  frequently  on  weekdays  give  recita- 
tions from  Shakespeare  to  friends.  Among 
his  popuUr  lectures  was  one  on  India, 
delivered  at  Exctor  Hall  at  the  time  of  th& 
Mutiny.  I  waa  present  at  this,  and  pever 
saw  the  building  more  crowded.  He  and 
Spurgeon  were  caricatured  in  a  broadside 
w-hich  was  sold  in  the  atreots,  entitled 
•  Brimstone  and  Treacle '  Spurgeon,  of

a  large  number.  Ho  reproduced  it  in  his 
historj'  of  the  Metropolitan  Tabernacle,  a 
copy  of  which,  now  before  me,  he  gave  my 
father,  with  some  very  kind  words  written 
in  it  in  his  fine  clear  hcmd.

*  HUNOAHy  IN  THE  ElGHTEEXTH  CSNTDBY.' 

— That  "reviewers  may  still  bo  of  service 
in  pointing  out  faults  m  the  book ''  is  the 
opinion  of  the  erudite  reviewer  of  my  book 
'  Hungary  in  the  Eighteenth  Century  *  in 
'  N,  &  Q.'  for  20  August.  If  readers  may 
be  grateful  for  the  detection  of  slips  which 
«ven  the  learned  critic  might  admit  to  be  of 
no  great  moment,  as  they  do  not  touch  the 
essential  part  of  the  book,  1  also  should  bo 
grateful  that  he  has  contented  himself  with 
paueifi  maculis.  Nevertheless,  forgive  njo 
for  replying  to  the  assertions  of  your  re- 
viewer, us  I  feel  myself  responsible  for  what 
I  have  written,  not  only  to  the  public,  but 
also  to  the  Cambridge  University  Press. 

The  first  remark  is  that  many  foot-notes  are 
useless,  specially  that  on  p.  203,  as  it  refers 
to  documents  published  in  a  periodical  and 
'*  subsequently  repubhshed  in  book  form." 
The  reviewer  is  certainly  unaware  that  the 
edition  in  book  form  was  one  of  fifty  copies 
only.  Honco  it  was  much  safer  to  refer 
to  the  periodical,  of  which  more  copies 
exist.  The  fact  that  the  "  paye  is  not  given  " 
in  perhaps  no  great  fuidt.  as  the  publication 
of  *  Ktigesta '  jjroceeds  in  chronological 
order,  and  the  year  1091  is  in  the  text. 

"There  was  no  King  Ladislaa  in  1514.'* 
Quite  true,  but  the  fault  of  using  this  form 


of  the  name  is  not  the  translator's,  nor  nunOt 
but  that  of  George  Bessenyei,  who  is  auoted 
on  p.  178,  and  who  wrote  "  Ldszld  Kir4ly  *'  = 
King  Laclifllas.  The  learned  reviewer  surely 
knows  that  the  difference  Ijotween  I-Adislus 
and  Ulodislav  ie  purely  one  of  scholarship 
and  orthography.  Proverb  and  sonu  speak 
only  of  "  Dobzse  L^szld "  and  *'  Leng>'el 
LaBzl6."  Prince  K4k<!)czi.  when  writmg 
on  the  same  event — the  peasant  revolt  in 
1514 — uses  also  the  form  Ledislas. 

The  reviewer  is  formally  right  when  he 
finds  fault  with  the  use  of  the  terms 
"  Serbs  "  and  *'  Koscians  '*  in  the  book.  In 
adding  that  '*  the  uninitiated  reader  will 
consequently  be  puzzled,"  he  overlooked 
the  fact  that  an  exjilanation  is  given  not  only 
in  the  foot-note  on  p.  107,  but  also  in  the 
text  and  in  the  glossary. 

I  think  that  nty  kind  critic  will  be  ofiton* 
iahed  to  hear  that  the  Regius  Professor  of 
History  who  ex|)res8ed  regret  that  he  was 
unable  t-o  discover  the  Hungarian  corona- 
tion oath  was  no  leas  a  man  than  Dr.  Stubbs. 

Forgive  me  one  f urt  her  remark.  The 
excellent  reviewer  thinks  that  Mr.  Tetnperley 
is  too  severe  on  the  Magyars,  I  think 
that  the  great  pains  he  has  takon  al>out  this 
book  show  his  sjnnpathy  for  our  country 
better  than  do  any  words.  Sympathy  and 
truth  are  comj>atible  with  the  mentioning  of 
faults  and  of  medissval  practices  and  cere- 
monies. I  suppose,  moreover,  that  the 
reviewer  will  agree  with  me  in  wishing  that 
the  hussar  with  drawn  sword  before  the 
council  hall  wore  the  worst  remnant  of 
primitive  savagery.

** Freckle"  and  "Speckled";    ti 
Etymolooy. — I  think  I  am  right  in  saj 
that    no    satiBfoctory    etj-mologj'    of 
two   words   haa   been   suggested   in   Ei 
dictionaries.     *  K.E.D.'     under     the 
**  freckle  ''  has  nothing  to  say  on  its  demS^ 
tion  ;    and  Prof.  Skeat  in  the  new  editiodL 
of  his  dictionary,  under  the  words  "  freckle" 
and  *'  speck,"  is  not  able  to  suggest  any 
about  the  origin  of   the  two  Words  'wl 
I  have  placed  at  the  head  of  this  not«. 

I  would  suggest  that  the  words  "

first  place,  it  is  possible  that  the  initii 
and  sp  may  both  represent  an  original  ^^

Kevertheless  an  abstract  of  the  following

One  copy  of  the  deed  was  made  for  each 
purchaser.  This  belonged  to  *'  Godfridus

The  document  measures  14  in.  by  20  in. 

Babington's  face  must  have  been  a  stttdy 
when  he  read  the  "style"  of  Queen  Eliza-

Cahlvlk's  *  French  Revolution  *  in  a 
French  A'ersion. — On  p.  86  of  Dr.  Richard 
Gamett'q  *  Life  of  Thomas  Carlyle  *  we  read 
that  there  is  a  good  French  translation  of 
the  '  French  Revolution  *  by  Regnault  and 
Barot.  This  statement  seems  remarkable  to 
one  who  has  examined  the  work  carefully. 
Apparently  Dr.  Garnett  had  read  only  the 
first  volume.  The  second  volume  was 
translated  by  Regnault  and  Roche  ;  and  the 
third  by  Jules  Roche  only.  In  the  second 
chapter  of  the  first  volume  Carlyle  wrote 
of  Charlemagne  sleeping  with  truncheon 
grounded,  which  appears  in  French  *'  avec 
son  sceptre  t>ermou/u.*^ 

Carlyle  wrote,*' One  hopes  it  might  bo 
d©  Br6z6,"  and  the  French  version  is 
**  Esp^rons  que  ce  ne  fut  pas  de  Br6z6," 
An  isolated  error  would  not,  of  course,  mar 
greatly  the  value  of  such  a  work  ;  but  this 
sort  of  blunder  occurs  often,  reversing 
com  pletcly  the  meaning  of  tho  original. 
If  the  author  asked  (in  the  Salle  deMandgo), 
"  Is  it  incredible  ?  "  and  implied  that  it  was 
quite  credible,,  we  should  hardly  expect 
*'I1  est  incroyable.'*  One  would  think  that 
•'will  hinder  no  journey  to  Saint -Clo ud  " 
was  plain  enough,  but  we  find  **  empechera 
toute  raarcho  sur  Saint -Cloud"  aa  the 
translation  ('  Grand  Acceptance  *). 

In  this  same  chapttir  there  are  many 
quaint  renderings,  as  "  L'histoiro  roule  pour 
eux  dans  ee*  xyague»  son  muet  et  silencieux 
adieu,"  for  ''History  vhivm  them  her  mute 
adieu  "  ;  and  "  While  computed  time  rims  " 
is  rendered  "Pendant  qu*i]  est  calculi  le 
temps  ptvjBO." 

Perlia])s  the  most  amazing  version  appears 
in  tho  chapter  *  Avignon,'  **  A  Madame 
d'Udon  (or  some  such  name,  for  Dumont 
does  not  recollect  quite  clearly),"  being 
represented  by  "  XTne  madame  Dudon  {ou 
un  nom  semblable,  DumorU,  on  ne  se  le 
rappcllo  pas  exactement).** 

In  the  chapter  *  tTflher  Maillard  '  there  is 
mention  made  of  a  sheepskin  drum.  The 
French  translators  made  it  *'peau  d'ano," 
and  the  German  rendering  is  **  Kalbsfcll." 


One  wonders  what  right  tho  translators  had 
to  make  this  variation. 

There  are  three  German  versions  of 
Carlyle^s  *  French  Revolution,'  all  accurst* 
and  excellent  in  my  opinion.  It  is  no 
wonder  that  the  French  have  not  appre- 
ciated Carlyle's  great  epic  if  their  sole 
knowledge  of  it  has  been  gleaned  from  the 
pages  of  Regnault.  B€U*ot,  and  Roche.

The  DtTRHAM  Boat  on  the  Delaware. — 

I  wn  interested  in  an  historical  inquiry  with 

reference  to  the  early  na\igation  of  the  river 

Delaware,  which  rune  past  us.     Before  the 

days  of  canals  and  railroatU  the  river  was 

thff  |iTim-iiial  means  of  transjxjrt  for  products 

iutd  supfilies,  as  in  every  new  oonntrv.     In 

tbe  work  of  transportation  the  chief  instrti- 

ment  was  a  boat  of  peculiar  construction, 

lH)inl«l  at  both  ends,  long  and  narrow,  of 

Tiry  light  draught,  steered  by  a  long  oar 

•iich  wn&  ewvmg  on  a  pin  at  one  end.     This 

»M  called  the  Durham  boat,  and  there  is  a 

tndition  that  it  was  originated  on  the  Dela- 

*ir?  by  a  roan  named  Durham.     The  place 

irWe  the  first  boat  was  built  was  in  the 

UnniRhip  of  the  same  naine,  in  the  county 

<>i  Buckft.  on  the  bank  of  the  Delaware. 

The  aatne  kind  of  boat,  with  some  modi- 
flc*ti(m,  WB«  used  in  other  part**  of  our 
country,  and  there  are  reasons  for  doubting 
that  thf  origin  was  on  our  river,  and  for 
ti»  (funnise  tliat.  wlxile  Durliam  built  the 
firat  boot,  tbf  desicn  was  brought  by  him 
<)r  otiiors  from  England,  and  possibly  from 
'^urfiam.     The   boat   was   not   adapted   to  I 


navigation  in  rough  water,  but  was  specially 
suited  to  narrow  oanalfi  and  atiU  water.  For 
this  reason  it  is  thought  that  it  may  have 
been  used  in  inland  navigation.  The  usual 
mode  of  propulsion  was  by  poles. 

Can  any  reader  of  '  K.  &  Q.*  say  whether 
sucJi  a  boat  was  used  in  Durham  county 
or  other  locality  where  the  conditions  made 
its  use  practicable  ?  The  inquiry  is  of 
interest  in  connexion  with  our  early  history.

1571  and  for  northtmberlaitd  1572-83. 
— I  have  long  supposed  this  member  to  be 
the  well-known  soldier  Sir  Thomas  Leighton, 
afterwards  of  Feckenham,  co.  Worooater, 
who  was  Governor  and  Captain  of  Guernsey 
from  at  least  as  early  a.s  15iO  till  about  1602, 
who  certainly  represented  Worcestershire 
in  1601.  and  died  in  1611.  But  certain 
allusions  to  him  in  the  Journals  of  Parlia- 
ment have  shaken  tliat  supposition.  Sir 
Thomas  was  knighted  in  May,  1579,  but  on 
several  Committees  of  the  House  after  that 
date,  almost  down  to  the  close  of  the  Parlia- 
ment, we  find  a  *'  Mr.  I**wton."  a  name  that 
can  only  reprt^sent  the  member  for  North- 
umberland. Moreover,  we  gather  from  the 
State  Papers  that  during  the  whole  of  the 
period  in  question  Sir  Thomas  was  resident  in 
Guemhey,  so  unlikelyto  have  beenretLU*ned  to 
Parliament.  There  were,  I  believe,  Leightona 
in  the  North  of  England,  of  whom  possibly 
this  M.P.  was  one.  Can  any  correspondent 
of  '  N.  &  Q.*  throw  light  upon  the  subject  ? 
A  John  Leighton  was  M.P.  for  Api)leby  in 
1671.  of  whom  I  know  nothinc.

Col.  Phaire,  Cromwell's  Go\*ernor  op 
Cork. — The  public  history  of  this  typical 
Cromwollian  officer  is  told  by  the  Rev. 
Alex.  Gordon  in  *  Diet.  Nat.  Biog.'  ;  but  hia 
domestic  and  family  history  has  hitherto 
bafHed  all  inquiry.  Dr.  CauUield,  Dr, 
Brady,  the  Rev.  A.  Gordon,  and  many 
writers  in  '  N.  &  Q.'  have  from  time  to  time 
endeavoured  to  throw  light  on  this  subject  5 
but  up  to  the  present  time  Col.  Fhaire'a 
parentage  and  family  origin  are  to  the 
general  public  entirely  unknown. 

Bom,  according  to  his  own  statement, 
in  1619,  Col.  Phaire  comes  first  into  public 
notice  25  years  later  as  a  Parliamentary 
lieutenant-colonel  appointed  in  England  on 
the  recommendation  of  Sir  Hardrcss  Waller 
(S.P.  Dom.  1646).  But  whether  he  was  of

and  brought  up*  and  who  were  his  parentB, 
no  one  han  hitherto  been  able  to  state.  Dr. 
Brady*B  Rupposition  that  ho  was  the  son  or 
near  relative  of  the  Rev.  Emanuel  Phaircv 
Vicar  (1612)  of  Kilehannig,  co.  Cork,  is 
unsui)portod  by  any  evidence,  and  only  raises 
the  further  questions.  Where  did  the  vicar 
himself  come  from  7  Was  he  of  English 
or  Irish  origin  ?  The  names  Phaire.  Faire, 
Farre,  Ac,  spelt  in  many  ways,  were  well 
known  both  in  England  and  Ireland  during 
the  period  of  the  great  Civil  War.  The 
comparative  commonness  of  the  name  and 
its  numerous  variants  greatly  increases  the 
difficulty  of  the  present  inquiry.  Farre  of 
Epworth,  CO.  Line,  and  Farre  of  Stock 
House,  Dorset,  bore  the  same  arms  as  Col. 
Phaire.  viz..  Gules,  a  cross  moline  argent, 
over  all  a  bendlet  azure.  Those  were  the 
well-known  arms  of  Sir  Guy  do  Ferro  temp. 
Ed.  1..  who  is  the  traditional  ancestor  of  the 
families  referred  to.  Tliis  armorial  con- 
nexion may  possibly  supply  a  clue,  but  there 
is  at  present  no  pedigree  to  support  it. 

If  any  of  your  numerous  readers  can  throw 
light  on  Col.  Phaire's  parentage  and  domestic 
history  from  1619  to  1646,  the  information 
will  be  greatly  appreciated  by  his  numerous 
descendants  and  by  many  persons  interested 
in  his  remarkable  career.  3aja^  Coix.

Pope  ADBiA>r  TV.'s  Ring  and  the 
Emerald  Isle. — A  short  time  ago  I  was 
disctissing  with  two  friends  the  origin  of  the 
designation  Emerald  Isle  as  appUed  to 
Ireland,  and  suggested  its  connexion  with 
the  emerald  ring  given  by  Pope  Adrian  IV. 
to  Henry  II.  when  he  conferred  on  the  king 
the  sovereignty  of  Ireland.  My  friends, 
both  learned  in  hist<iry,  surprised  me  by 
saying  that  they  had  never  heard  or  read 
of  the  ring ;  and,  on  searching  several 
histories,  we  found  no  mention  of  it. 


The  connexion  between  the  de 
and  the  ring  may  be  imaginary,  bi 
long  treateci  the  Pope's  gift  as  an 
fact  of  history,  and.  oe  it  fact  or  fal

Iha  wivertisoment  may  have  been  a  mere 
tack  r>Q  the  part  of  the  publiaher  to  help 
ib»wle. 
Id  view  of  the  strictness  with  which  the 
ovurHhip  was  exercised  in  those  days,  it 
ho^secnns  probable  that  the  **impriintttur" 
i  fir  John  Berkenheod  would  nave   been 
tiled  to   those  volumes   unless  authority 
Aid  been  given  to  the  printer  to  do  so,  nor 
*»»jM  the   bookbuyers  of    1663   have   b<^en 
'libly  to  have  bound  up  the  genuine  edition 
ot  P«t  II.  with  "a  Cheat."     Mv  copies  of 
twij   parts,    which   are   in   the   original 
binding*  have^  indeed,  tho  appearance 
beeo  sold  in   the  form  m  which 
tiow  survive.     I  think,  therefore,  wo 
pause  b«foro  wo  dcHnitely  assert  that 
'natoelesa  Impresaion  '^  is  a  piracy,  or, 
i&Mwuut'a  words,  **  iame  and  spurious." 


With  regard  to  Part  II..  tho  spurious 
impression,  of  which  at  leaat  two  issues  were 
published,  is  certainly  not  a  ]>lracy.  It 
was  the  work  not  of  Butler,  but  of  some 
anonymous  imitator,  and  was  published  in 
advance  of  Butler'3  Part  II.  The  popularity 
of  *  Hudibraa/  to  which  testimony  is  given 
by  Popys,  induced  this  unknown  poetaster  to 
foist  upon  the  pubho  a  work  which  was 
absolutely  without  merit,  and  which  haa 
been  deservedly  forgotten.  It  is  no  more  a 
piracy  than  John  Hamilton  KeynoIds*8 
'  Peter  Bell '  was  a  piracy  of  Words- 
worth's *  Peter  BeJi*  of  which  it  was  the 
forerunner.  A  piracy  implies  an  illicit 
publication  of  the  real  article.

"  Unkcunooa  "  :  "  Ynetukoa  "  (11  S. 
ii.  143). — As  the  A.-S.  -ing  and  'W\g  are 
sometimes  confused,  it  seems  possible  that 
-unga  and  -ungga  are  miawritten  for  -inga 
and  -ingga^  both  of  which  may  repre^nt  the 
genitive  plural  of  a  tribal  name.  But  this 
is,  of  course,  mere  gueaswork. 

1  think  the  alleged  A.-S.  gi,  *'  re^on,"  is  a 
mere  ghost-word,  and  never  existcKl.  It 
cannot  1>6  safely  inferred  from  the  names 
Ohtgaga  and  Oxgaga,  where  there  is  nothing 
to  show  that  the  -ga  is  a  suffix,  or  tliat  the 
a  is  long.  The  objection  is.  that  the  form 
is  impossible ;  there  is  no  case  known  in 
which  the  G.  au  occurs  as  a  in  Anglo-Saxon. 
It  always  occurs  as  Sa  or  as  d.  as  in  biam^ 
G.  Baum^  or  hwi,  O.  Hans.  We  have  no 
authority  for  departure  from  these  normal 
forms. 

Tho  A.-S.  for  G.  Oau  should  take  the  form 
gia,  but  this  form  gia  has  not  yet  been  found. 
But  Mr.  Chadwick  has  shown  that  it  occurs 
as  ge  in  very  early  AngUan,  with  some 
various  spellings,  such  as  ia  and  the  like, 
which  prove  that  the  g  was  sounded  like  the 
modem  English  y.  See  my  *  Place-Nama» 
of  Cambridg<'fihire,'  *.v.  Ely, 

The  A.-S.  d  is  usually  the  G.  ei,  Gothic  a», 
OB  in  A.-S,  ftarrK  G.  Htim,  Gothic  hairna, 
I  do  not  know  of  any  exception.  Hence 
A.-S.  g&  would  require  to  be  G.  G«,  Goth. 
gaia ;  but  there  are  no  such  words.  We 
have,  as  I  said  before,  no  e\'idcnce  for  sup- 
posing that  an  A.-S.  pd  ever  existed.  It 
arose  from  a  mistake  made  by  Kerable,  wJio 
inferred  it  from  the  two  place-names  noted 
above.  But  it  ought  not  to  be  repeated  in 
tho  twentieth  century,  when  the  A.-S.  sound- 
laws  have  been  fully  discussed  by  such 
careful  students  as  Sievers  and  Sweet.

OTES  AND  QUERIES.      [ii  &  n.  si:rr.  lo.  t 


It  IB  pleasing  to  notice  that  the  *  Tribal 
Hidage  ^  is  ftgain  coming  und^  discuaaion 
in  '  N.  &  Q.'  Mr.  Anscomde^s  endeavour 
to  aolveonoof  its  puzzles  is  at  least  welcome 
&s  a  sign  of  interestp  if  it  cannot  be  ocoepted 
without  hesitation.  There  is  the  nest 
authority  for  supposing  that  the  fomi 
"Unecungga"  is  the  genitive  plural 
(?  singular  *'Unecung"),  aa,  indeed,  the 
Sfmeral  stylo  of  the  document  reqtiires.  I 
have  never  seen  any  reason  to  doubt  that 
Wantage  represents  this  nauio,  and  the  form 
'*  Wanetim^,"  which  occurs  before  the 
Conquest,  is  probably  as  near  as  can  be 
hoped  for  in  the  scarcity  of  early  Berkshire 
dociunents.  Bede's  1,200  hides  for  the 
people  of  Wight  are  fully  accounted  for  in 
the  list  by  Gifla  3<)0.  Hicea  (Huta)  300,  and 
Wihtgara  600.  Those  pooples  no  dotibt 
occupied  not  only  the  island,  but  the 
southern  half  of  Hampshire  as  well.  The 
mysterious  **  Noxgaga  "  and  "  Ohtgaga  *' 
appear  aJso  to  be  genitive  plurals  of 
*'WoxgaBg"  and  *'Ohtg»g** — words  other- 
wise unknown.  T  have  supposed  them  to  be 
two  sections  of  the  principal  Mercian  people, 
the  Wocen  (Worcon)  smtas  ;  but  they  may 
be  components  of  the  next  on  the  list,

The  compiler  of  the  list  had  an  orderly 
mind,  and  therefore  there  is  hope  of  solving 
the  i)uzzles  of  the  '  Tribal  Hidage/  Being 
convinced  that  no  solution  can  be  looked 
for  by  speculations  on  isolated  names, 
I  venture  to  publish  the  following  com- 
parison between  the  figures  of  this  docu- 
ment and  those  of  Domeisday  Book.  The 
figures  are  from  Maitland's  work,  and  whole 
counties  have  been  taken  o:<cej>t  in  the  cases 
of  Cambridge  and  Hertford,  whore  deductions 
of  200  eaxd  300  hides  respectively  have  been 
made  because  parts  of  those  counties  were 
in  the  dioceses  of  Norwich  and  London,  and 
must  thus  be  regarded  as  East  Anglian  or

SvoiXETTS  '  History  or  England  '(US. 

ii.    129). — A   good   deal   of   confusion   exists 

iu*ds  this  work.     It  was  first  published 

"'7-8  in  4  vols.,  4to.  with  tho  title  *  A 

i.*t    History    of    England.'     In    17ftO 

lid  inlition  in  1 1  vols.,  8vo,  was  finished. 

Vtu:*  history,   it  must  be  renienibered.   was 

independent  of,  and  indeed  uiitecedeat  to, 

tliat  of  Hume.     It  brings  down  the  chronicle 

of  events  to  1748.     The  whole  work  is  said 

'     ^ive  been  written  in  fourteen   months. 

un    the   book   successful,    Smollett   set 

U4».^'U  to  write  a  continuation  of  it  to  more 

neent  timee.     This  continuation   appeared 

in  5  vok.     Pour  of  these,   extending  from 

1748    to     1760,     were    pubhahed     in     1763. 

Tbej*  were  written  exclusively  by  Smollett. 

TV  fifth  voUune,  completing  the  work,  and 

tm^  on  the  record  from  1760  to  the  time 

IlihcAtion  in  1765.  was  written  by  VVil- 

ithrie  (1708-70),  a  native  of  Brechin, 

notable  literary  man  in  his  day  in 

{see  AUibone.  «i6  Smollett).    All  five 

are  generally  assigned  to  Smollett, 

>ngly.  he  ha\ang  been  abroad  for  tho 

'ti  hi«  health  from   1763  to   1765,   as 

AUibonci  has  point<^  out. 

In  1789  the  b<»okaeller8  issued  a  '  History 

England '   f-mhracing  the  work  both  of 

'""  '  --  ti  Smollett.     Hume's  history,  relat- 

down   to    1688.   was  in   8  vols, 

..^,.  u  portion,  comprehending  the  period 

*Oiiatted  hi  the  •'  English  "  addition  because 
oompflpr  ivw^ized  tbem  am  included  in  Ida 
I  oit  Baons, 


between  1688  and  1760,  was  in  5  vola.  The 
Edinburgh  edition  of  1791  (seldom  to  be 
met  with),  entitled  '  Smollett's  Continua- 
tion of  Hume's  History,'  was  doubtless  an 
attempt  to  do  what  was  believed  to  be 
Justice  to  SmoUott  as  an  historian.  It 
mcludes  all  Smollett's  history  from  1688  to 
1760,  and  adds  Guthrie's  volimie,  bringing 
events  down  to  1765.  under  the  impression 
that  Smollett  was  the  sole  author.  As  tho 
Advertisement  states,  there  were  six  vohimes 
in  all  written  by  SmoUett.  At  the  end  of  the 
sixth  an  index  to  the  previotis  volumes  waa 
furnished.  The  two  remaining  voluraesof  the 
Edinburgh  edition,  making  up  the  eijjht  of 
which  it  consisted,  witli  index  to  vols  xii.  and 
viii.    appended,     and     comprehending     the 

Ceriod  between  1765  and  1783,  were  written 
y  other  authors.  Neither  Smollett  nor 
Guthrie,  both  long  dead,  hod  anything  to 
do  with  them. 

It  is  somewhat  difficult  to  discover  who 
the  *'  other  writers  "  were.  One  of  them, 
there  is  distinct  evidence  to  show,  was  John 
Adolphus  (1768-1845),  barrister  and  his- 
torian, who  afterwards  wrote  a  *  History 
of  England  '  in  3  vols.,  sometimes  bound  up 
with  Hiune  and  Smollett's  *  History.'  But 
Adolphus  did  not  write  the  whole  of  the 
two  vohnnes  ot  the  Continuation.  There 
was  at  tea^t  one  other  writer.  It  has  been 
suggested  that  he  was  a  Mr.  Bisset.  Mk. 
Chhistie.  relying  ajiparently  un  family 
tradition,  puts  forward  a  claim  on  behalf  of 
his  relative,  the  Kev.  William  Bisset  of 
Horncostle.  I  am  not  in  a  position  either 
to  corrolx>rate  or  absolutely  to  contradict 
the  claim.  It  is  to  be  remembered,  however, 
that  there  is  another  Richmond  in  the  field 
in  tho  person  of  Robert  Bisset.  LL.D. 
(1759-1806).  tho  son  of  a  Perthshire  minister, 
who  wrote  a  history  of  the  reign  of 
George  III.,  sometimes  spoken  of  as  a  sequel 
to  Smollett's  history.  On  the  whole,  I  think 
Robert  Bisset,  L.I..D.,  more  likely  to  have 
been  the  continuator  of  SnioUott  than  the 
Kev.  William  Bisset.  of  whoso  career  no 
biogrophical  dictionary  apparently  has  ever 
taken  cognizance.  W.  Scott. 

ArTHORS  OF  Quotations  Wanted  (US. 
ii.  169). — As  to  D.  M.  L.'s  first  quotation, 
I  can  at  any  rate  supply  the  context.  The 
*'noun"  which  was  "cut  short'*  is  the 
word  "  eternity."  A  man  slain  in  a  duel 
expires  uttering  this  word,  and  his  opponent 
comments  on  his  inability  to  finish  it. 
Hence  the  linos : —

( 11  S.ii.  168). — It  may  inttrrest  Mr.  Mabbrly 
Phillips  to  know  that  I  possess  a  Rusaiun 
flint-lock  musket,  nearly  2  ft.  9  in.  lona. 
having  a  deal  butt  shod  with  brass — a  reho 
of  the  Crimean  War.  This  clumsy  weapon 
was  taken  out  of  tho  Malakoff  by  the  late 
Admiral  Raluh  Cator  immediately  after  ita 
capture  by  the  French  in  September,  1855. 
He  gave  it  to  a  member  of  mv  family.  I  feel 
convinced  that  no  Britisn  troops  used 
musketa  with  flint  and  steel  during  the  siege 
of  Sel>ftatopol.  Doubtless  Mb.  Phili.ips 
has  good  reaaon  for  sajang  that  flint -locks 
were  given  to  soldiers  going  to  India  in  1849, 
but  it  must  have  been  for  some  special  reason. 
as  percussion  c-aps  had  Iwcome  general  in 
thi«  country  for  sporting  purpoBcs  between 
1820  and  1830,  and  were  adopted  by  our

PKlLtP    NOBMAN. 

D'Eresdy  or  De  EREaBY  ?  (11  S.  i.  460  ; 
ii.  117.) — I  do  not  agree  with  Scotus  that 
De  Erosby  is  the  more  correct ;  it  seerns  to 
me  to  be  immaterial  which  form  is  used. 
The  barony  was  created  by  >vrit  of  summons 
7  Edw.  II.,  when  the  head  of  the  family  was 
smumoned  to  Pariianicnt,  according  to 
Burke,  as  "  Lord  Willoughby  de  Eresby  "  ; 
but  on  reference  to  Dugdale's  *  Summonses  ' 
it  appears  that  the  writ  was  aimplj'  *'Roberto 
de  Wilghby."    In  the  writs  to  hia  successor 


the  name — ^which  is  of  course  the  titles 
usually  appears  as  AVilughby.  though  WQ> 
loughby  also  occurs. 

In  the  previous  century,  when  the  family 
rose  from  obscurity,  the  name  is  Bpai 
variously  Wilgebi,  Willegby,  W'yleby.  WiL 
gheby,  Wileghby,  Willughby,  and  Wi 
(see  ^Genealogist,  N.S.  x\'iii.  230-33). 
if  De  Eresby  had  been  part  of  the  ori^ 
title.  I  see  no  reason  why  it  should  not' 
modernized   to  D*Ercwby.    as   Wilghby 

Wilughby  are  mixlemized   to   WiDou      

or  the  *'  de  "  might  well  be  traiudat^  w 
in  the  cslso  of  the  ancient  barony  cf 
Zouche  de  Haringworth,  now  usually 
ferred  to  aa  Zouche  of  Haringworth. 
Haryngworth. 

In  writa  of  summons  it  was  usual  to 
merely  the  baron's  name,  a  territorial 
l>eing  added  only  when  there  were  two 
bearing  the  same  surname.     Aj«  Dr. 
observes,    **  In    all    ca^ea    the   suffix 
originally  have  been  added  for  the 
distinction    only "    ('  Geoffrey    de 
vilJe,'  p*  145).  though  Dugdale  remarka 
from  the  time  of  Henry  VHI.   the 
who  issued  the  writs  sometimes  inco' 
added    the    "  place "    to    the    name 
there  was  no  other  peer  of  the  same  s 
(*  Simimonses.'  Preface). 

I  do  not  know  when  de  Eresby  (or  d*E 
first  made  its  ajipearance.     T  see  no 
it  in  the  *  Summonseg.'     ^\^len  a  cadet

but  he  was  Hiunmoned.  not  as  WiUo 
de  Eresby,  but  aa  Wiloughby  de  WiJo 
(1    Hen.    VIII.).     This   is   curious,

FoLUES  (11  S.  u.  29,  78,  113,  168).— 
'•  Follies,"  which  I  have  seen  and  read  of  in 
different  parts  of  England,  all,  in  some 
way  or  other,  appear  to  be  not  what  they 
seem,  like  the  lane  referred  to  (anU,  p.  159) 
by  Mr.  Charkinoton,  which  leads  to 
nowhere.  1  would  suggest  that  where  there 
is  tho  name  *'  Folly,'*  and  notiiing  else,  the 
Folly  may  luivo  disappeared. 

There  used  to  be  two  **  Follies  "  at  Dover, 
both  now  gone.  The  older  was  "Smith's 
Folly,"  and  a  later  one  "  Diggle's  Folly." 

"Smith's  Folly"  was  a  curious  mansion, 
built  in  the  latter  part  of  tho  eighteenth 
century,  on  tho  seashore,  immediately  under 
Dover  Castio  cliff.  It  had  a  castellated 
front,  with  an  entrance  flanked  by  two  round 
towers,  and  a  central  liigiier  tower  further 
bock  Burniounted  by  a  roof  and  a  spire. 
Further  back  still  were  sm'eral  one-story 
buildings  roofed  by  inverted  boats,  and  in 
the  rear  some  caves  deeply  exc-avated  in  the 
Castle  Cliff.  The  mansion  is  now  gone,  to 
make  room  for  modem  sea-front  houses, 
but  the  caves  in  the  cliff  remain. 

This  •'  Folly  "  waa  built  by  Capt.  John 
Smith  of  the  "Cxuards,  who  retired  from  the 
Aimy  in  1769  as  a  protest  against  his  chief. 
Lord  George  Sackvilie,  being  "  broken  " 
by  King  George  II.  for  an  alleged  disregard 
of  an  order  from  Prince  Ferdinand  at  the 
battle  of  Minden.  It  was  about  thirty 
years  after  that  event  that  John  Smitn 
built  his  "FoUy"  at  East  Cliff,  Dover,  on 
land  reclaimed  from  the  sea,  given  to  him, 
it  is  presiuned,  by  his  friend  the  Duke  of 
Dorset  (one  of  the  Sackvilles),  Lord  Warden 
of  the  Cinque  Ports.  This  Capt.  Jolm  Smith 
was  the  father  of  Admiral  Sir  Sidney  Smith, 
and  this  "Folly"  was  the  admiral's  home 
at  tho  commoncement  of  his  career.

**  Diggle'«  Folly  *'  was  a  conspicuous 
stono  towor  orcctod  by  Mr.  Joseph  Diggle» 
on  hia  property  at  the  seaward  end  of  the 
whinless  Down,  as  an  outlook.  It  had  two 
stories,  and  as  it  had  the  appearance  of  a 
conimandinK  stronghold,  it  is  said  that  the 
inUitary  objected  to  it  as  overlooking  their 
fortifications  on  the  Western  Heights,  built 
about  the  same  time.  When  Mr.  Diggle  left 
Dover  it  fell  into  decay,  and  was  demolished 
about  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago.  The  place 
is  still  referred  to  as  *'  Diggle's  Folly."

^ny  years  ago  a  friend  of  ntizie  received 
inquiry  from  France  aa  to  the  prospects 
'td  fattecunt;  snails,  for  tho  Paris  market, 
at  the  village  of  Piddinghoe,  near  Xew- 
hnvon.  Sussex.  It  was  proposed  to  estab- 
lish a  *'  snail  farm  **  there,  and  for  aught 
1  know  to  tho  contrary,  it  may  exist  to-day.

HaBOLD  MAI.ST,   Col. 

I  am  grateful  to  J.  T.  F.  for  his  advice, 
which  I  may  one  day  follow  if  I  feel  well 
enough  and  have  leisure  when  I  am  near  tho 
Oare  dt>  Lyon  in  Paris.  Hitherto  snails 
have  been  offered  to  mo  during  the  course 
of  a  meal,  may  I  say  an  eniremeU  f  It  in 
quite  possiblu  that  they  need  that  best  of  all 
sauc'ca,  hunger,  if  they  are  to  do  tliemselvea 
credit.  St.  Swithis. 

Your  talented  correspondent  St.  Swrruix 
haa  been  unfortunate  in  his  snails.  J.  T.  F. 
sends  him  to  Rouen  and  Chartres  and  Care 
de  Lyon,  Paris.  But  from  my  own  experi- 
ence 1  should  send  him  a  little  further — 
to  Bourges.  Near  the  glorious  Cathedra!  of 
Bourgea  he  will  tind  an  ancient  hostelry 
whoso  speciality  is  Hdix  pomatuZy  the 
original  wlihle  Itoman  snail.  But  here  they 
anecially  roar  tht^se  delicacies  on  tho  leaves 
oT  a  peculiar  kind  of  vine,  ser\nng  them,  in 
their  sheila,  on  a  special  sort  of  bread  toasted 
and  brought  hot.  Each  guest  is  supplied 
with  a  curved,  two-pronged  silver  fork  that 
the  delicious  morsel  may  be  extracted  intact. 
And  very  deUcious,  and  no  doubt  nutritious, 
is  this  excellent  diet.  John  Wabd.

WORDSWORTH:  VARIANT  READINGS. 

Ox  pp.  625-6  of  'Tho  Oxford  Wordsworth ' 
Mr.  Hutchindon  gives  the  text  of  a  sonnet, 
cuIllIIleneiu^ 

The  coniidencc  of  Youth  our  only  Art, 
which  was  first  published  (1822)  in  '  Monno- 
riftls  of  a  Tour  on  tho  Continent/  and,  as  his 
editors   have   aasort«i,   never   reprinted    by 
its  author.     Mr.  Hutchinson  thinks  that  it 

£robably    was    coinpoaed    in     1821 — which 
appens  to  be  the  year  in  which  must  of  the 

*  Kcclesiastical  Sonnets  '  were  written.  Prof. 
Knijiht  ('  Eversley  Wordsworth,'  viii.  274), 
after  mentioning  its  nj^pearance  in  1822, 
aavs  that  it  was  '*  struck  out  of  the  next 
edition  "  of  the  '  Meniorials.'  *'  and  never 
republished."'  He  adds:  "Its  rejection 
by  Wordsworth  is  curious," 

The  thing  that  really  is  "curious"  is  a 
failure  on  the  part  of  liis  editors  to  discover 
the  relation  existing  l^tween  this  sonnet  of 
Wordsworth   and   No.    12    in    Part    III.    of 

*  Ecclesiastical  Sonnets.'  Being  temporarily 
at  a  distance  from  the  proper  volumes,  I 
asked  my  friend  Prof.  Strunk  to  consult 
thein.  and  have  had  my  recollection  con- 
tirriiod  that  neither  I^rof.  Knight,  Mr. 
Hutchinson,  Prof.  Dowden,  nor  Mr.  Nowell 
Smith  offers  any  reason  why  Wordsworth 
shonltl  hfive  discarded  the  interesting  memo- 
rial of  his  voj^age  down  the  Rhine  in  1790 
witli  hw  friend  Robert  Jones,  as  the  linos 
appeared  in  1 822.  Of  course  the  roason 
for  their  disappearance  from  one  publication 
must  have  been  their  reappearance,  adivpted 
Uy  a  new  purpose,  in  aiiotlier — that  is.  in  the 

'  ^clesiaatical  SkvtchGQ '  (afi  the  work  origin- 


ally was  called)  of  1827.  Here  again  I  am 
unable  to  consult  the  requisite  eclitiooift  ? 
but  Mr.  Hutchinson  (*  Oxford  Wordsworth,' 
p.  443)  gives  the  date  of  publication  of  No.  12 
m  *  Ec4?lesiastical  Sonnets,*  Part  III.,  aa 
1827.  He  makes  no  conjecture  aa  to  the 
date  of  composition. 

Since  lx>th  have  been  included  in  the 
recent  editions  of  Wortlsworth,  and  yet 
aeeminply  have  faileil  to  imprees  any  one 
with  their  mutual  resemblance,  it  may  be 
worth  while  to  print  the  two  versions  in  sach 
proximity  to  one  another  that  then-  con- 
nexion henceforth  may  bo  obvious.  The 
alterations  which  Wordsworth  made  in  the 
text  of  his  poems  can  never  be  a  matter  of 
indifference  to  the  student  of  literary  art ; 
in  the  present  case,  aside  from  merely  verbal 
improvemonta,  it  is  instructive  to  see  how 
he  hna  put  the  expression  of  a  lofty  mood 
into  the  service  of  a  mood  which  he  consideia 
even  loftksr  : —

to  be  buried  in  tho  abbey,  robed  as

hi»  heod.   a  gold  ring  on  his  finger, 


sandals  on  his  feot,  and  a  sceptre  in  hia 
gloved  right  hand. 

"  He    WAS    borne    upoa    the   shouldora   of   h]0 

bttpons  from  hla  castle  on  tho  rock  of  Chinon,  to 
the  abb<?y  church  of  Fontovraud ;  there  lie  lav  in 
state  while  the  sisters  knelt  l>y  night  nnd  day, 
mumturing  their  prayers  and  psolnu  around  the 
bier." 

The  friends  of  Henry  had  not  waited  for 
any  instructions  from  his  heir»  but  William 
the  Marsluil  sent  to  apprise  Kichard  of  his 
father's  death,  and  delayed  the  burial  to 
give  liim  an  opportunity  of  attending  it 
if  he  chose  to  do  so.     He  came  alone,  and 

"  went  straight  to  the  church  and  into  the  rhoir 
whern  the  body  lay.  For  awhile  ho  atood  motion- 
lf8s  before  till-  bier,  then  he  stepped  to  the  head, 
and  looked  down  at  the  uncovered  face.  It 
seemed  to  meet  his  gaao  with  rU  its  wonted  stcrn- 
nt'ss  ;  but  there  were  some  who  thought  they  f&w 
a  yet  more  fearful  sights — a  stream  of  binod  wliich 
tlinved  from  the  noscrils,  and  ceased  only  on  the 
departure  of  the  son,  who  was  thus  proclaimed. 
AS  his  father's  murdcwr." 

On  the  morrow  Henry  Fitz-Empresa 
was  laid  in  the  grave  before  the  high  altar  by 
Archbishop  Bartholomew  of  Tours,  assisted 
by  Aj-chbiahop  Fulmar  of  Trier.  Before 
ten  years  had  passe<l  another  Angevin 
king  was  *' shrouded  among  the  shrouded 
women.'*  On  the  6th  of  April  I1U9. 
Richard  died  froiu  the  wound  he  had  received 
at  Chalus,  and,  **  in  the  robos  which  he  had 
worn  on  his  lost  crowning  day  in  England 
five  years  before."  was  laid  to  sleep  at 
Fontevrault.     In  accordance  with  hia  desire, 

"  hts  heart  was  enclosed  in  a  gold  and  silver- 
casket,  carried  tu  Koueu.  and  solemnly  deposited 
by  the  clergy  among  the  holj:  relics  in  their 
eathedrAl  church  :  and  men  saw  m  its  unusnal  sise 
a  flt  U^ken  of  the  mighty  spirit  of  hLm  whom 
Xunuundy  never  ceased  to  venerate  us  Richard 
Coeur  do  Lion." 

Queen  Eleanor  survived  her  son  Richard 
only  five  years.  She  died  on  the  Ist  of 
April,  1204,  and  was  placed  beside  her  hus- 
band at  Fonte\Tault. 

Berengaria,  Queen  of  Richard  I.,  does  not 
rest  at  Fontevrault.  Knight  in  his '  Historj',* 
vol.  i.  p.  300,  gives  an  illustration  of  an  effi^ 
with  the  words  underneath,  "  Borengarm. 
Queen  of  Richard  I.,  from  the  tomb  at 
Fontevrault."  1  wrote  to  Miss  Xorgate 
about  this,  and  she  kindly  supplies  the  follow- 
ing p*\rticuLirs.  Berengaria  was  buritwl  in 
the  cliurch  of  a  Cistercian  Abbey  which  she 
had  founded  at  a  place  in  Maine  called 
L'Espau.  In  1672  her  tomb  was  restored, 
and  translated  '*  from  its  original  place  to 
a  more  honourable  one  near  the  east  end 
of  the  church,  and  an  inscription  was  placed 
on    it    commemorating    this    fact.     Among

ITOTES  AND  QUERIES:       lu  &  ii.  8=n.  if,  1910: 


^he  ruina  of  the  abbey  Stothnrd  found  the 
tomb  with  its  effigy,  but  not  the  inscription  ; 
this  was,  however*  stvfe  in  the  po8:4eftaion 
of  a  ciinon  of  Lo  Mans  Cathedral.  Thus 
far  Agnes  Strickland's  *  Quoens  of  England,' 
i.  326-7,  with  a  sununary  of  Stothard'a 
description  of  the  effigy. 

In  St4ithnrd'a  handsome  quarto  are  to  he 
found  full  doHcriptions  of  tho  An^ovin  tombs, 
and  in  addition  to  inuatratiims  fn  the  letter- 
press, a  coloured  plat*  is  ^iven  of  the  four 
effigies.  Stothard  aUites  that,  *'  conaidering 
their  age  and  the  vicissitudes  they  have 
undergone,  they  are  in  excellent  preserva- 
tion ;  they  liave  all  been  ]>ainted  and  gilt 
throe  or  four  times/'  Stothard  also  gives  an 
illustration  with  description  of  Berengaria's 
tomb  in  the  Abbey  of  L'Espau.  The  time 
■of  her  death  ia  uncertain;  she  was  "cele- 
brated for  her  eloquence  and  beauty." 
It  is  strange  ttiat  Stothard's  most  interesting 
work  has  not  before  this  passed  into  a  cheap 
■edition. 

After  Stothard's  time  the  effigy  was  ro- 
moved  to  Lo  Mans,  and  the  tomb  once 
raoro  set  up  in  the  Cathedral  there.  *'I 
do  not  know.'*  saj's  Miss  Xorgate, 
'  the  date  of  thin  Idwt  trAnsaction  ;  I  nnlv  know  it 
was  previous  to  1877,  when  I  visited  Le  Mane  and 
saw  thu  tomb  in  the  Cathedrnl.  Miss  StriokUnd, 
foUowini;  Stothard.  oaIIb  the  abbev  Espan.  and  so 
it  is  called  in  the  '  D.N'.B.'  under  Berengaria  ;  but 
it<  proper  name  is  L'Kapau." 
Miss  Norgate  saw  Fontevrault  the  same 
year  as  Le  Mans  :  "  One  had  to  peep  at 
the  tombu  through  a  grating,  but  even  that 
peeij  was  most  impressive." 

The  Sphere  of  the  3rd  inst.  contains 
beautiful  illustrations  of  the  tombs  at 
Fontevrault,  aa  also  does  U iUitatration  of 
the  20th  of  August,  the  latter  with  an  article 
by  M.  Jean  Bayet. 

Fontevrault  Abbey  has  foimd  frequent 
mention  in  the  pages  of  '  N.  &  Q.'  Hkr- 
MENTBiTDE  aslcod  for  A  list  of  its  abbesses 
on  the  S-tth  of  September.  1864  ;  and 
Charles  Boutell  on  tho  17th  of  November, 
1800,  inquired  if  it  were  true  that  the 
effigies  at  Fontevrault  were  about  to  be 
presented  by  the  Emperor  Napolerm  to 
England,  and  suggested  tliat  if  so  they  should 
be  placod  in  the  restored  Chapter-House 
at  Wostminater.  On  the  30th  of  March, 
1867,  an  editorial  not<i  st-ated  that  it  waa 
announced  in  the  House  of  Commons  on  the 
7th  of  that  month  by  Lord  Stanley  "  tliat

courtesy  which  he  has  invariably  sliown

GuiDSTOVE  AT  Wit^msijOW. — Many  con- 
flicting statements  as  t-o  Gladstone's  sojourn 
at  Wihnslow  Rectoiy  have  appeared  in  the 
different  biographies  of  him,  and  as  I  azn 
now  enabled,  by  tiie  kindness  of  Mi«s  Helen 
Gladstone,  to  give  the  correct  period  of  his 
residence  there,  will  you  allow  nu»  to  put 
matters  right  once  and  for  all.  for  ihe  benefit 
of  future  historians  ? 

First  of  all.  let  me  state  that,  baaing  my 
conclusions  on  the  erroneous  assertions  of 
some  of  those  biographies,  I  myself  wm 
led  into  error,  and  stated  in  »  work  t^f 
mine  published  in  1892  that  a  great>iu>cl» 
(the  Ke\'.  TJjomas  Garratt)  was  formerly 
Gladstone's  private  tutor.*  This.  1  frankly 
admit,  was  incorrect,  but  I  was  led  into  thy 
mistake  in  the  first  instance  by  Gladstcn^ 
himself,  and  as  corroborative  evidence  was 
ami)ly  forthcoming,  I  had,  at  the  tinw, 
no  hcsitatlo]!  in  luaking  it.  I  quot«  somo 
of  tho  misstatements  to  which  I  allude, 
and  it  will  be  observed  that  they  all  \-ary

How  in  "Smooch"  or  "Smous"  to  bo

bemg  identical  with  Schmim,  occurring  in 
German  dictionaries  as  in  coimnon  use  in. 
the  sense  of  "  talk«  bargaining,  haggling, 
chaffer."  Hence  the  verb  achmusen,  "to 
talk,  chaffer,  haggle."  The  Suffolk  word 
"  Smous  "  is  evidently  due  to  the  German 
Schmus,  and  applied  to  the  Jew  from  his 
well-known  skill  in  bargaining.  The  per-

was  erected  bv  the  H.E.I.C.  to  the  memory 
of  Sir  Eyre  Co'ote,  K.H.  7  He  died  27  April.

Wellington  and  BLtJcHER  at  Waterloo  : 
C.  S.  Benecs:e. — Is  there  any  sketch-index 
to  the  fresco  in  the  Royal  Gallerj'  in  the 
House  of  Lords  of  Wellington  and  BUicher 
meeting  at  Waterloo  ?  My  reason  for  asking 
is  that  I  have  an  aunt  who  wofl  the  third 
daughter  of  C.  S.  Benocke. 

C.  S.  Benecko  was  page  to  Prince  BUicher. 
and  was  beside  him  at  the  battle  of  Waterloo, 
where  Benecke  received  a  bullet  in  bis 
temple :  he  recovered,  but  carried  the  scar 
to  his  grave.  He  could  speak  seven  lan- 
guages, and  became  secretary  to  Sir  Charles 
Vaughan  whilst  Ambassador  at  Cojienhagen. 
He  came  to  England  in  the  entourage  of  the 
Duke  of  Saxo-Moiningen.  and  was  eventually 
Queen's  Messenger  to  Queen  Adelaide.  He 
waa  given  Ujiper  Lodge,  Bushey  Park,  to 
live  in,  where  he  died  in  1808.  aged  83. 

It  lias  always  been  a  traditi<jn  that  the 
man    in    semi -civilian    dress    riding    behind 
Bliicher  was  Benecke.     Is  this  the  cast*  ?

SIR   HENRY    DUDLEY. 
(11  8.1.  87,  171;   ii.  U7.) 

The  identity  of  this  knight  is  not  a 

iteqilexing.  Ho  is  stated  to  have 
:ni^hted  by  the  King  at  tho  siege  of  Bou 
on  20  January,  36  Honry  VIll.,  t.e,  1 
But  this  must  certainly  be  inaccurate^ 
asmuch  as  Boulogne  surrendered  to  tBo 
English  on  the  14th  of  the  previous  Sttp 
teraber,  and  King  Henry  returned  to  Em. 
land  on  the  30th  of  tho  .san^o  month.  In 
his  valuable  '  Book  of  Knights '  Dr.  W.  A. 
Shaw  (I  think,  wisely)  rek<gates  tho  natoe 
to  a  foot-note,  as  apparently  of  doubtful' 
authfntifity.  It  is.  however,  quite  (X>««bto 
that  ft  Sir  Henry  Dudley  may  have  received 
knighthood  for  services  at  the  siege  of 
i^oulogne,  but  at  some  date  after  tho  king's 
return. 

This  possibility  being  assumed,  the  quf«. 
tion  of  the  knight's  ideatity  arise*,  ThW 
he  was  neither  of  the  two  Hetuys.  .sous  of 
Jolm  Dudley.  Viscount  Lisle  (aflerwaida 
Duke  of  Northumberland),  niAy  be  safely 
affirmed.  The  elder  Henry,  being  slain  at 
the  siege  on  14  September,  1544,  could 
certainly  not  be  tho  man  ;  whib>  tberw  is 
abundant  evidence  that  Henry  tho  younjecf 
was  not  a  Knight  ten  years  later.  In  the 
'  Acts  of  the  Privy  Coimcil.'  under  dat«  oi 
15  June,  1&&4,  we  have  the  following  alluawa 
to  him  : — 

"  Letter  to  Th<>nias  Bridges,  esq.,  Li- 
Tower,   shirnifyititir   the   Queen's   pli-ikfiii 
humble  suit  of  the  Ouchc^as  of  NorUmi 
that  he  shall  suffer  the  suid  Duchess"  hous

The  wife  of  Henry  Dudley  whom  her 
kept  from  visiting  her  liuabond  in 
Tower  was,  as  stated  by  Mb.  A,  R.  BaiOS^ 
at  H  S.  i.  172.  Margaret,  only  daughter  of

which  for  genealogical  purposes  is  but  vague. 
That  he  may  have  been  the  third  son  of 
John  Sutton,  7th  Baron  Dudley,  and 
would  thus  answer  Froude's  description, 
is  all  that  can  be  said.  Anyhow,  the  ques-

In  reply  to  Mb.  F.  A.  EDWAaos,

of  Northumberland,  is  Banks*B  *  Dormant

With  regard  to  Iiis  second  question,  X 
think,  if  he  looks  in  Biu*ke's  *  Peerage  ' — 
not  the  *  Extinct '  one — he  will  find  that

of  Sir  Henry  Dudlej'-"  I  have  not,  how- 
ever, a  cony  by  me  for  reference. 

May  I  1)0  allowed  to  say  liere  that  I  am 
not  re**pon8ible  for  the  substitution  of 
"  Audley "  for  "Dudley"  in  my  query? 
I  wrote  Dudley  in  the  first  instance. 

The  name  of  the  Duke  of  Northumber- 
land's wife  is  correctly  spelt  Guilford. 
The  Guilforda  were  a  Kentish  family,  and 
had  no  connexion  with  the  town  of  Guild-

ELEPHAirr  AND  Castle  in  Heraldbv 
(11  S.  i.  608;  ii.  36,  116).— In  the  absence 
of  many  of  the  ordinary  works  of  reference 
out  here  I  have  some  diffidence  in  expressing 
any  u|)inion  as  to  whether  the  "  elephant  and 
castle  "  was  an  heraldic  copjnizance  of  any 
considerable  antiquity.  The  elephant  itself, 
no  doubt,  like  most  other  conspicuous  or 
well-known  animals,  has  formed  the  subject 
of  various  armorial  insignia.  Some  minor 
heraldic  writers,  in  speaking  of  it,  have  said 
that  it  is  sometimes  borne  with  a  castle  on 
its  back.  That  high  heraldic  authority 
the  late  Rev.  Dr.  Woodward  says  ('  Heraldry, 
English  and  Foreign,*  1896,  vol.  i.  p.  243) 
that  the  elephant  is  but  little  used  in 
heraldry,  and  in  British  armor>-  is  seldom 
fuund  except  as  an  allusive  charge,  or,  as

we  should  call  it.  except  in  canting  heraldry. 
And  he  instsncefl  the  arn^A  of  the  Knglish 
familv  of  Elphinatono  and  tho  Counts  von 
Helphcnatein  of  Siinbia.  The  elephant  "  in 
its  conventional  re|)re8entation  (Argent, 
with  a  castle  un  its  back  proper)  he  speaka 
of  as  being  borne  by  the  Husdian  and  Ger- 
man Barona  Le  Fort. 

It  is  in  this  conventional  representation, 
then,  that  it  would  seem  to  form  the  badge 
of  that  ver>-  distinguiahed  European  order, 
that  of  the  Klephant — or  of  the  White 
Elephant — of  Denmark,  where  the  coatle 
which  it  supports  is  gulf's. 

The  late  Kev.  Mr.  Boutell — also  a  great 
authority  upon  heraldic  matters — in  his 
•Heraldry.  Historical  and  Popular'  (1864). 
p.  356.  states  that  this  order  ia  said  to  have 
been  founded  early  in  tho  fifteenth  century. 
and  was  renewed  in  1458  by  Christian  I. 

If  this  be  so,  your  correaj^ondent  will  see 
that  quito  a  respectable  antiquity  can  be 
claiuiod  for  the  "  elephant  and  castle."  Dr. 
Woodward,  however  (vol.  ii.  p.  367),  says  this 
order  was  really  founded  by  Christian  V. 
in  1693 ;  and  goes  on  to  say  tliat  Christian  1.. 
two  centuries  before,  had  founded  a  con- 
fraternity in  hontiur  of  the  Blessed  Virgm 
Mary,  and  that  this  was  the  nucleus  of  the 
new  order,  whose  badge  was  adopted  at  a 
time  when  Demnark  waa  hoping  to  be  a 
great  power  in  the  East. 

As  one  would  naturally  suppose,  the 
elephant  savours  strongly  of  an  Eastern 
connexion,  and  forms  one  of  the  princij)al 
cognizances  or  de\*icea  in  the  collar  of  otir  own 
Order  of  the  Indian  Empire,  founded  in 
1878  to  commemorate  the  assumption  of 
tho  title  of  Eniiires.s  of  India  by  her  late 
Majesty,  Queen  Victoria. 

The  querist  states  that  the  elephant  and 
castle  was  also  borne  as  a  crest — incongruous 
as  it  may  seem — by  CJiovanni  Francea<^o  di 
Malatesta.  Dr.  Woodward  (vol.  i.  p.  243) 
says  that  an  elephant's  head — which  he 
describes  with  some  particularity — was  the 
crest  of  the  Malateatas  of  K  imini  ( the 
Malatestas  of  Dante's  '  Inferno  ').  He  gives 
no  other  instance  of  such  a  crest,  either  in 
English  or  foreign  armory,  though  for  sup- 
porters ho  mentions,  amongst  certain  foreign 
laniiliee.  the  use  of  the  elephant  by  the 
English  Earls  of  Powis. 

It  is  possible  that  more  modem  instances 
of  the  use  of  this  animal  for  armorial 
purposes  may  l>e  found  in  the  grants  that 
have  been  made  to  distingxiiahed  Indian 
subjects  in  recent  times,

The  surname  Vavasour  is  the  aiinie  u 
•'vavasour"  in  Chaucer's  'Prologue.'  I 
give  the  etjTuology  in  my  stnaUer  '  EtV" 
mological  Dictionary.'  The  form  of  tw 
word  is  not  clear  ;  but  it  answers  to  tho 
Middle  Latin  vaastta  m^aorurtu  lit.  "  servant- 
of  servants."  or  "  vassal  of  vassals  "  ;  used. 
apparently,  of  a  subtenant.  See  aUo  my 
Notes  to  Chaucer's  *  Prologue.'  It  ia  of 
Celtic  origin  ;  cf.  VVelsli  (7«w4.  a  servant.

Richabd  Gem  (U  S.  ii.  121.  172).— 
Through  the  kindness  of  Sir  John  F.  Rotton, 
the  preat-great-nephew  of  (.!em,  1  am  now 
enabled  to  add  a  few  more  particiilars  on 
his  life.  Gem  married  about  174(> .  Ann, 
fourth  daughter  of  Jacob  Thibou  the  elder,  of 
St.  John's,  Antigua  t'^hose  father  Lewia 
Thibou  rame  from  the  province  of  Orleans), 
by  his  wife  Dorothy  Blizord.  After  the 
death  of  Thibou  the  widow  married,  on 
1  July,  1745,  Francis  Delsp  of  Antigua. 
By  her  will,  dated  1  Novemoer,  1757,  and 
proved  1  Avigust,  1760,  the  residue  of  her 
property  passed  to  six  of  her  daughters, 
including  Ann,  wife  of  Richard  Gem  (Oliver, 
'Antigua,'  i.  195  and  iii.  124-6). 

Ann  Tliibou  was  baptized  at  St.  Jolin's, 
Antigua,  on  30  January.  1714/15,  and 
married  there  on  26  July,  1730.  to  Stephen 
Baker.  Gem,  her  second  husband,  had 
two  children  by  her,  both  of  whom  died 
in  infancy.  Husband  and  wife  did  not 
agree,  and  separated  about  1749,  but  so  long 
as  she  lived  Gem  provided  for  her.  She 
died  about  1790. 

Gem  went  to  France  in  1761,  and  for  some 
time  lived  at  Rome.  His  property  at  Fock- 
bury  in  Bromsgrove  is  now  in  the  possession 
of  Sir  John  Rotton.        W.  P.  Coubtnev.

same  spelling,  in  Halliwell's  '  Archaic  Dic-

'  Arno  MisoELLAiTY.'  1784  (11  S.  ii.  148). 
— Mr.  R.  Farqitharson  Sharj^  attributes  the 
editorship  of  tlie  *  Amo  MiscoUauy  *  to  Mrs. 
Piozzi.  Her  connexion  with  the  *  Florence 
Mis4!eUany,'  which  succeeded  it.  is  tolerably 
well  known.  Those  associated  with  her, 
probably  in  both  publications,  wore  Robert 
M'^rry,  Bertie  Greatheed,  and  Willitun  Par- 
sons. Merry,  autltor  of  many  ptionia  under 
the  name  "  Delb*  Crusca,''  died  suddenly  at 
Baltimore.  Bertie  Greatheed,  an  amat-eur 
artist,  died  in  1804.  He  is  ridiculed  by 
Gifford  in  'The  Baviad '  as  the  ''deep- 
mouthed  Thoban."  Parsons  wTote  a  num- 
ber of  poemts  aud  shares  with  Merry,  Great- 
heed, and  Mrs.  Piozzi  the  honour  of  having 
founded  the  *'  Delia  Cru»c4i "  school  of

'  Or.n-ER  Twist'  on  the  Stage  {11  S.  ii. 
129,  191.  215). — It  is  curious  to  not©  iu 
regard  to  the  stage  versions  of  '  Oliver  Twist ' 
that  they  seem  to  have  come  in  couples,  or 
(as  it  would  now  appear  from  the  communica- 
tion of  Mb.  Robkbt  Walters,  atue,  p.  191, 
giving  a  St,  Jameses  version  hitherto  un- 
Xioted)  originally  in  threes. 


The  St.  James's  version,  referred  to  in  Tht 
Literary  OazeUe  of  31  Murcli,  1838.  wju 
promptly  followed  by  C.  Z.  Bamett's  at  (b« 
Pavilion  on  21  May,  and  later  by  George 
Almar's  at  the  Sun'cy  on  19  XovembCT, 
the  fu'St  two  being  jmt  on  the  sta^o  montha 
before  the  whole  of  the  stury  had  l>eai 
published — a  fact  of  which  Dickons  bitterly 
complained  in  n^ard  to  this  and  other  of 
his  novels. 

Similarly  John  Oxenford's  version, 
duced  at  the  Queen's  on  1 1  April,  1H68, 
had  a  follower  in  J.  B.  JohiLStone's  at 
SuiTey  on  18  May,  whil«^  that  by  D.  J, 
Mordaunt  was  given  at  the  vVlexandra  on 
10  April,  1869.  The  30th  of  March.  1903. 
saw  Mr.  Oswald  Brand's  version  at  the  Cilraod, 
and  13  April  another  at  the  Elephant  and 
Castle  ;  and  Mr.  J.  Coiuyns  Carr's  mlftpta- 
tion,  produced  at  His  Majesty's  on  10  July, 
1905.  was  8|>eedily  followed  by  Measrs.  H. 
Whyto  and  Hollo  Balnmin's  at  the  King's, 
Walthamstow,  on  2  October. 

Even  these  do  not  exhaust  the  list  of 
versions  of  *  Oliver  Twist '  as  a  whole  ;  and 
episodical  pieces  like  '  Bumble.'  '  Buiublo'a 
Courtsliip.'  and  "Fagin  *  also  have  been  seen

EuERTON  Lei«h  (U  S.  ii,  68,  114,  178). — 
I  see  the  difficulty  of  the  point  raised  by 
G.  F.  H.  B.,  and  it  certainly  seems  im- 
probable that  tlie  Egertou  Leigh  lK>rn  in 
1752  could  be  the  same  as  the  one  admitted 
to  Westminster  School  in  1771. 

On  liHiking  further  into  the  numerous 
pcdijj^ree*  of  the  Leigh  families,  I  find  there 
was  another  Egerton  Leigh  who  fits  in  bettor 
with  the  date  given  by  G.  F.  H.  B,  This 
Egerton  was  a  descendant  of  the  Leighs, 
Baronets,  as  follows. 

Peter  Leigh,  born  1710,  youngest  brother 
of  the  Rev.  Egerton  Leip;h,  and  son  of  the 
Rev.  Peter  Leigh  by  Elizabeth,  daughter 
of  the  Hon.  Thos.  Egerton  oi  Tatton,  was 
appointed  Chief  .Uistice  of  South  Carolina. 
He  left  one  sun,  Egerton,  who  in  1756  mar- 
ried a  lady  in  South  Carolina,  and  in  1772 
was  created  a  Baronet.  His  son  and  heir, 
Egerton,  2nd  Baronet,  described  as  of 
Brown84-jver  Hall,  Warwickaliire.  died  27 
April,  1818,  in  his  fl7th  year  (see  Gent.  Mag,). 
Tnis  would  give  his  hirth  al>our.  1762.  which 
would  suit  the  date  for  hi.s  entering  West- 
minster Scliool.  He  died  without  male 
issue,  and  the  title  passed  to  his  nq)hew 
Sir  Samuel  Egertou  Leigh.

introduced  by  his  intimate  friend  Th

Dike  of  (Jbafto.n,  East  Tsdiaman.  and 
Warren  Hastings  (11  S.  ii.  189). — Accord- 
ing to  Mr.  H.  C.  Hardy's  '  Register  of  Ships 
in  the  Service  of  the  Hon.  East  India  Com- 
pany from  new  to  I8I2,*  the  Duke  of 
Grafton  made  four  voyages  to  India.  On 
the  first  voyage  she  was  commanded  by 
Capt.  Brook  Samson,  with  Samuel  Btdl  as 
first  mate,  and  sailed  from  tho  Downs 
26  March.  1760,  arriving  back  in  the  Downs 
30  July,  1770.  On  the  second  voyage  she 
left  Portsmouth  1  April,  1772.  arriving  in  the 
Downs  1  August,  1773.  On  the  third 
voyage  she  left  Portsmouth  25  March,  1776, 
arriving  in  the  Downs  23  March.  1 778. 
On  the  fourth  voyage  she  left  Portsmouth 
7  March,  1770,  arriving  in  the  Downs 
20  October,  1781.  On  tho  second,  third,  and 
fourth  voyages  ahe  was  commanded  by 
Samuel  Bull. 

Apparently  this  ahip  named  the  Duke 
of  Grafton  was  not  lost  in  1777,  but  the 
book  gives  no  account  after  the  fourth 
voyage' of  the  vessel  or  of  Capt.  Bull.

Book-Covers  :  *'  Yellow-Backs  "  (11  S- 
ii.  189). — The  introduction  of  illustrated 
lx>ards  as  a  form  of  book-covering  followed 
closely  on  the  heels  of  cloth.  These  picture 
Ixiaris  at  first  were  of  no  settled  colour,  but 
the  popular  two-flhilling  railway  novel  of 
the  Miss  Braddon  type  was  usually  covered 
with  a  glazed  yellow  paper  cover,  printed 
in  colours,  a  fashion  that  lasted  over  forty 
years.  I3etwcen  1896  and  1900  this  form 
of  novel  waned  and  died.      Wm.  Jagoabd.

SA>*  that  "  there  la  no  straining  for  effect,  no

only  <»f  w^>^da  that  cnunt  arc,  of  cuunte,  abun- 
dantly exhibited  :  but  there  are  buuks  of  amazing 
power,  like'  Job  and  Eccleaiastea,  which  are  neither 
clear,  nor  free  from  eX'TcHcencea  ;  otherwiw  many 
cormuentators  have  been  wasting  Uieir  time  and 
Iflliour.  Mention  i»  niMde  of  the  slriking  mniputa-

The  passages  on  the  influence  of  the  Bible  on 
subAoqucnt  English  writing  aro  noteworthy. 
Few  people  bavo  any  Idea  of  the  extent  to  which 
tbU  influence  ent«r9  into  ordinary  speech  and

*  He^fcfaring  and  Travel :  the  Growth  of  I*ro- 
fessioual  Tuxtl^ooks  and  GiHjgrapliicid  Utt^ra- 
ture.'  The  editors  are  to  bo  congratulated  alike 
on  the  idea  and  the  execution  of  these  chapters, 
which  give — for  the  flrat  time,  we  think,  in  a  work 
■of  this  sort' — -adequate  att<.*ntion  to  a  peculiarly 
EngUah  sort  of  composition.  The  writers  speak 
with  juslicn  of  "  the  spirit  of  imperialism,,**  which  is 
commonly  regarded  aa  a  new  discovery.

*  Michael  Drayton.'  Mr.  Child  wriU-s  very  well, 
but,  in  pouring  scorn  on  the  fatuousness  of  mndern 
words  set  t^^i  music,  lie  migiit  have  added  that  many 
excellent  lyrics  are  unfitted  for  musical  setting  in 
consequence  of  tbeir  distribution  of  vowela 
and  consonants.  Such,  at  least,  is  the  view  of  an 
expert  musician.     Wo  aro  unaware  if  Mr.  t'hild

Mr.  8.  P.  Vivian,  who  writea  on  *  Thomas

WILLIAM     BLAKE'S     *  LAUGHING 
SONG  •  :   A  NEW  VERSION. 

Trrc  Vipginning  of  the  modem  intereat  in 
■WQLiiim  Clake  datw  from  1863.  when  the 
first  oditiun  of  Gildirist'a  'Life*  was  pub- 
lished. The  liret  pulriUaher  to  recognize  this 
inlfrest  and  to  take  ftdvantage  of  it  waa 
Bwil  Montague  Pickerinc.  who  in  1866 
the  '  Songs  of  Innocence  and  of 
ience:,*  together  with  a  few  miscel- 
\9  poems,  under  the  editorship  cf 
Shppherd.  A  second  edition  of  this 
kred  in  1868  ;  and  in  tho  introduction 
'the  next  edition  of  1874  the  editor  states 
(i..  vi')  that 

'■•  samp  time  [1868]  tho  loan,  opportunely 

f  aaliU  ran*  book,  the  juvonile  'Poetical 

,"    privatplr  print*»d   in    1783,  with  a  few 

rt  pU'CfS  written  in  tho  fly-leavoR,  enahlpd 

to  add  a  twin  volume  to  the  formpr 

in  now  united,  together  with  a  few 


is  with  the  *'  few  short  pieces  written 
.s  6y-leaveB  "  of  the  *  Poetical  Sketchf«  ' 
the"  present  note  is  concerned,  and  these 

oot,  as  is  implied  in  tho  above  passage, 


printed  with  the  '  Poetical  Sketched'  in 
1868.  but  first  appeared  in  the  second  edition 
of  the  *  Songs  of  Innocence  and  of  Experi- 
ence,' when  two  of  them  were  included  among 
the  *  MiscellanoouB  Poems  *  with  the  titles 
*  Song  by  a  Shepherd  *  and  '  Song  bv  an 
Old  Shepherd.*  After  this  date  the  voiimie 
containing  the  MS.  of  theoe  Songs  became 
lost  to  sight,  and,  Shepherd*s  text  remaining 
the  sole  authority  for  them,  later  editors 
had  perforce  to  put  their  trust  in  his  accuracy, 
a  trust  which  seems  not  to  have  Ix^en  mis- 
placed. Tho  vohmio,  however,  appeared 
again  this  year  from  an  anonymous  source, 
and  was  sold  by  Messrs.  Sotheby  on  22  March 
to  Mr.  Francis  Edwards,  with  whoso  per- 
mission this  note  is  published.  The  latter 
kindly  allowed  it  shortly  afterwards  to  be 
incorporat«d  in  an  exhibition  of  Blake's 
works  which  has  recently  been  held  at  the 
FitzwilUam  Museum,  Cambridge. 

Tho  Songs,  three  in  number,  are  written 
on  the  verso  of  the  first  fly-leaf  and  on  the 
recto  and  verso  of  the  second.  They  are 
certainly  not  in  Blake*s  autograph,  but  it  is 
suggested  that  they  may  have  be«n  copied 
out  by  his  wife  ;  this  is  posftible,  but,  in  tlie 
absence  of  any  MS.  V>y  Mrs.  Blake  for  com- 
parison, tho  writing  cannot  l>e  identified. 
At  tho  top  of  tho  first  fly-leaf  is  written 
*'  Songa  by  Mr,  Blake,"  and  then  follow 
in  order  *  Song  !"*•  by  a  Shepherd,*  *  Song  2^ 
by  a  Young  Shepherd,'  '  Song  3^  by  an  old 
Shepherd.*  The  flrst  and  third  are  those 
printed  by  R.  H.  Shepherd  in  1868,  while 
the  remauiing  one  proves  to  be  another 
veri«on  of  the  '  Laughing  Song,*  engraved 
by  Blake  among  the  '  Songs  of  Innocence.* 
In  the  first  Song  Shephord*B  text  does 
not  differ  from  the  original  except  in  un- 
importtint  details  of  spelling  and  ]>unctua* 
tion.     In  the  third  Song  the  lirst  line  runs ; — 

When  silver  snow  decks  Sylvio'6  cloaths* 
Shepherd  copies  the  name  correctly  in  the 
edition  of  1868.  but  in  the  edition  of  1874 
he  substitutes  for  it  "  Sylvia."  The  altera- 
tion is  evidently  an  intentional  emendation 
to  avoid  the  somewhat  unpleasant  repetition 
of  three  o  sounds  in  four  consecutive  words. 
There  are  no  other  changes  of  importance 
in  this  Song. 

The  second  Song  I  print  in  fuU,  with  the 
*  Laughing  Song  *  following  it  for  comparison ; 
the  la«t  stanza  is  the  same  in  both  : — 
Song  f^hy  a  Young  Shepherd.

And  the  ncrvt-n  liill  laughs  with  the  noiso  of  it, 
When  the  meadows  laugh  with  lively  green 
And  the  gr&aabopper  laughs  in  the  merry  scene.

The  differences  between  the  two  versions 
we  sufficiently  ob\*ious,  and  call  for  no

Part  of  the  history  of  the  volume  contain- 
ing the  Songs  is  indicated  by  various  inscrip- 
tion».  the  earliest  of  which  is  at  the  top  of 
the  title-page — "  [present  del.]  from  Sirs, 
Flaxraan  May  15  1784 "  ;  the  recipient 
of  the  gift,  which  presumably  had  the  MS. 
Songs  alreadj'  written  on  the  fly-leaves,  is 
not  indicated-  The  next  note  is  at  the  top 
of  the  second  fly-leaf,  rect« — "  Reed*8  Sale

verso,  below  tho  first  Song — "  ex  Biblio- 
theca  Heberiana.  fourth  portion  sold  by 
Evans  9  Deo  1834."  ITie  next  owner  is 
indicated  by  a  book-plate  inside  the  cover, 
which  bears  a  shield  inscribed  *'  J.H.A. 
1834.'*  After  this  date,  except  that  the 
voltime  was  lent  to  Pickering  about  1868, 
its  history  appears  to  bo  unknown  until  its 
reappeftrance  in  March,  1910. 

Various  alterations  and  oorreotionB  have 
been  made  in  the  text  of  the  volume,  but,  as 
thcv  nre  in  se\'eral  hands,  no  imirartance  can 
be  attached  to  them.  U.  L.  Keynes.

for  "  the  blessings  enjoyed  under  the  best  of 
kings."  The  editor  of  The  Bristol  Jcmmal 
described  the  statue  (executed  by  Messrs. 
Coadoa  &  Soatey)  as  being  equal  to  the  work 
of  Flaxnuui  and  NoUokena. 

During  the  niglit  of  23  March,  1813.  after 
one  of  the  political  speeches  of  *' Orator" 
Hunt  at  the  Kxchanue,  eight  or  ten  men 
climbed  into  the  Portland  Square  enclosure, 
where  the  statue  stood,  and  threw  it  down. 
The  figure  was  so  much  damaged  that  it 
was  never  restored-  One  of  the  men  was 
sentenced  at  the  ensuing  Quarter  Seaaiona  to 
twelve  months*  imprisonment. 

"  Orator  '*  will  l>e  reiueuil>ered  as  the 
nickname  of  Henry  Hunt,  formerly  a  brewer 
at  Bristol,  and  afterwards  a  London  blacking- 
maker.  He  became  known  throughout  the 
country  as  a  demagogue,  and  fought  a 
momorahlo  by-clootion  at  Bristol,  July, 
1812.  He  was  defeated,  and  his  supportore 
created  a  serious  riot.  At  the  General 
fllection  in  October  of  the  same  year  Hunt 
was  again  an  imsuocessful  candidate.  He 
then  petitioned  against  the  return  of  Mr. 
Richard  Hart  Davis  (Tory)  and  Mr.  Edward 
Protheroe  (Whig).  The  petition  was  dis- 
mifised.  These  two  elections  cost  £29,429 
(the  cost  of  the  first  l>eing  £H,362). 

Portland  Square,  named  after  the  Duke 
of  PortLind.  who  was  High  Steward  of 
Bristol  (1786-1809).  was  esteemed  one  of 
the  finest  residential  squares  out  of  London, 
and  many  well-to-do  merchants  and  pro- 
fessional men  lived  there.  Jane  Porter,  the 
novelist,  died  in  1850  at  No.  29,  the  homo 
of  her  brother.  Dr.  W.  O.  Portor.  The 
present  Lord  Winter  stoke' s  family  once 
lived  in  the  square.  It  is  now  almost  entirely 
given  up  to  commerce.  Charleys  Wells.

*'  Kino  Obby." — No  one  can  pay  a  visit 
to  the  Isle  of  Man  without  becomuig  familiar 
with  "  King  Orry."  The  phrase  perpetuates 
the  memory  of  a  name  highly  honoured  in 
the  island  as  that  of  the  Alfred  of  its  past 
history,  namely,  Godrod  Crouan.  wnose 
name  was  GoofreytJr,  in  Old  Norse,  of 
which  Godfrey  is  our  modem  English 
equivalent.  Well,  how  can  the  form  "  Orry  " 
bo  explained  7 

The  explanation  may  bo  found  in  the  very 
scholarlv  book  on  '  Manx  Phonology '  by 
Prof,  Rhya.  We  are  told  on  p.  128  that 
"  King  Orry  "  is  derived  from  an  older  form 
**  King  Goixy."  with  the  initial  g  lost  throu^ 
contact  with  the  preceding  nasal  ng  m 
'*  king."  Mr.  Moore  in  his  '  Manx  Namee  * 
(ed.  1906),  p.  56,  agrees  with  Prof.  Rhys 
in  deriving  Gorry  from  the  Old  Norse 
GotJfreySr,  through  various  pronunciations 
of  tho  Scandinavian  name.  In  Old  Irish 
tho  Manx  monarch  was  known  as  **  Ree 
Gorree "  (King  Gorry).  In  the  *  Four 
Masters  *  the  name  appears  in  the  form 
Gothfraith  (which  in  modem  Irish  would 
be  pronounced  *'  Gorry  "}.  It  may  bo  useful 
to  give  this  historic  etymology  of  Orry  (in 
the  combination  "King  Orry"),  as  it  does 
not  seem  to  be  widely  known.     I  have  seen

BisHOFSOATB  Stbekt  WITHOUT,  —  The 
widening  of  this  thoroughfare  has  occasioned 
the  demolition  of  some  interesting  buildings. 
And  more  are  threatened.  For  example. 
No.  130.  which  at  least  since  1817,  if  not 
longer,  had  been,  occupied  by  one  firm 
•dealing  in  tripe  and  its  by-products,  was  a 
large  building  with  separate  entrance  hall  and 
private  apartments  of  couaiderable  size. 

At  the  commenceraent  of  Norton  Folgate 
there  are  several  old  houses,  but  tho  most 
pictuwseque  is  No.  1 1.  with  a  typical  Georgian 
shop-front  of  double  projecting  bow  windows, 
and  ascent  by  two  stune  steps  to  tho  door. 
Us  facia  identifies  it  as  '*  Tho  Golden  Eaglo,^' 
established  about  1750,  and  the  liouse  is 
undoubtedly  of  that  age,  if  not  older.  The 
promidos  have  been  closed  and  rather  neg- 
lected for  several  years,  but  it  is  probably 
due  to  sonio  subsidence  in  the  cellar  that  the 
shop-front  and  door  are  now  aslant.  On 
these  and  other  buildings  in  the  lucahty. 
threatened  or  lost,  Mr.  Hopwood  or  Mr. 
C.  F.  Goss  could,  I  have  uo  doubt,  give 
much  interesting  information.

ing  of  reference  in  '  N.  &  Q.*  Ernst  Mensen, 
a  Norwegian,  served  in  the  English  Navv, 
and  was  present  at  Navorino  in  1 827. 
When  his  terra  of  8er\'icB  was  up  ho  became 
a  professional  runner^  and  covered  the 
distcmco  from  London  to  Portsmouth  in 
nine  hours,  and  London  to  Liverfjool  ia 
thirty-two.  Ho  undertook  in  the  siumner 
of  1831  to  run  from  Paris  to  Moscow,  and 
performed  the  distance  (1,760  miles),  it  is 
alleged,  in  less  than  fourteen  days.  Owing 
to  his  celebrity,  Mensen  obtained  employ- 
ment as  a  pubhc  courier,  and  soon  became 
an  object  for  wagers  at  many  European 
Courts,  invariably  beoting  the  mounted 
courior*8  matched  against  him.  He  did 
not  walk,  but  always  ran.  His  customary 
refreshment  was  said  to  be  a  biscuit  or  two 
and  an  ounce  of  raspberry  t^yrup  a  day, 
and  two  brief  rests  of  some  tlui'ty  ininut«A 
only  in  the  twenty-four  hours.  Th*««, 
it  \A  stated,  he  took  standing,  with  merely 
a  handkerchief  thro>*Ti  over  his  face.  In 
1836  Mensen  carried  the  East  India  Com- 
pany's dispatches  from  Calcutta  to  Cony 
stantinople,  through  Central  Asia,  a  dista^^^H 
of  5,615  miles,  in  Sty-nine  days.  ^^^ 

Nature  could  not  long  b^r  up  against 
such  fatigues,  and  he  died  on  one  of  >us 
extraordinary  tours,  and  was  found  resting 
against  a  tree  as  if  asleejp.  He  was  buried 
on  the  spot,  just  outside  the  \illage  of 
Syang,  in  Upper  Egypt.  R.  B.

Queen  Vutioria  and  George  Peabody's 
FuxERAL. — In  an  American  booklet  entitled 
*  Little  Journeys  to  the  Homes  of  Great 
Business  Men  '  there  is  an  account  of  George 
Peabody,  which  ends  thus  : — 

"  When  Peabody  died  in  1860,  Queen  Victoria 
ordered  that  his  body  be  placed  in  Westminster 
Abbey.  The  Queen  in  person  attended  the  funeral, 
the  fu{(son  Parliaroeut  House  were  luwered  io  half- 
mast,  and  the  body  was  attended  t«i  Westminster 
Abbey  by  the  Royal  Guard.  Gladatone  was  one  of 
the  pallbearers." 

Later  it  was  discovered  that  Peabody  hod 
directed  in  his  will  that  his  body  should  rest 
m  America,  so 

"ic  woa  removed  from  the  Abbey,  and  placed  on 
buanl  the  British  man-of-war  Alonarch  in  the 
tireannoe  of  the  Prime  Mininter,  the  Secretary  of 
ForeiKn  Affairs,  and  many  diatini^iiiahed  citizens. 
The  >lonurcli  was  convoyed  to  America  by  a 
Frencli  and  an  American  gunlmal."

English  Altar  Viboik  in  Santiago. — 
Above  the  principal  side-ttltftr  in  the  grand 
old  church  of  San  Martin  in  Santiago  I 
observed  an  image  of  tho  Virgin  which  is  of 
R  type  quite  different  from  any  other  figures 
of  tie  Virgin  in  that  ancient  city.  It  is 
about  four  feet  high,  and  the  beautifully 
modelled  face  ia  most  distinctly  English  in 
appearance,  tho  clothing,  too,  betraying  the 
same  origin.  The  bonnet  upon  and  around 
the  face  exactly  reeembloe  a  Somersot  sun- 
bonnet  euch  au  country  people  uBe  to  this 
day — a  bonnet  which  has  recently  again  come 
into  faahion  at  our  home  seaside  places. 
This  figure  of  the  Virgin  appeara  to  me  to 
date  from  about  the  time  of  our  Henry  VIII., 
and  waa  probably  brought  to  Galicia  from 
England  m  Reformation  times.  Has  any 
one  before  observed  this  curious  anomaly 
in  Santiago  T  and  is  any  accoimt  extant 
explaining  how  an  English  altar-figure 
found  a  resting-place  in  Galicia  ?

Mrs.  Swa3>e,  1761-1846. — Can  any  one 
]jut  me  in  the  way  of  obtaining  information 
about  this  lady  ? 

Charlotte  Swale,  nee  Snencor,  the  daughter 
of  Hugh  Spencer,  was  baptized  in  1701  at 
St.  Jamea  a.  Bury  St.  Edmunds ;  she 
married  Christopher  Williani  Swale  at 
St.   James's,    Weetminater,   on    1    Jantiarv. 


1789,  and  died  17  January,  1846.  She 
oricinally  a  dresser  to  M.K.H.  the  Ducheea 
of  I'ork.  over  whom  she  exercised,  a  singular 
influence,  and  through  the  Duke,  her  hus- 
band was  given  a  position  in  the  General 
Post  Office.  Mrs.  Swalo  was  on  terms  of 
intimacy  with  the  Benjafields  of  Bury  St. 
Edmunds,  Mrs.  Brand  of  Polstead  Hall, 
n£«ur  Colchester,  and  Bunbury  the  carica- 
turist. 

Mr.  Swale,  bom  in  1750,  died  in  January, 
1831,  at  Lay  ham  in  Suffolk,  and  was  buried 
at  Polstead.  He  had  a  brother  Thomae  who 
lived  at  MildeithalU  ne«r  Bury. 

At  Polstead  Churchyard  are  also  buried 
Frederick  Spencer  and  his  wife  Harriet 
Howard,  brother  and  siater-in-law  to  Mrs. 
Swale.  They  had  a  httle  girl  who  died  in 
infancy  at  Betchworth  in  Surrey. 

The  Swales  lived  successively  at  38» 
Somerset  Street,  Portman  Square  ;  82,  Baker 
Street ;  and  32,  Duke  Street,  Manche«t<!r 
Square,  while  in  London.  Mrs.  Swalo  waa 
famous  fur  her  beauty,  and  her  daughters 
at  the  garden  parties  at  Chiawick  and 
elsewhere  were  called  the  "Brace  of  Part- 
ridges." 

Is  there  any  mention  of  this  lady  in  the 

current  literature  of  the  time  ?      There  is  in 

existence  a  crayon   sketch   of  her   by   on© 

William  Vine,  whoso  identity  I  cannot  trace.

of  the  oath  or  refer  me  to  any  authority 

whence  I  could  obtain  it.  I  am  led  to  under-

John  and  James  Hardman,  who  were  co- 
owners  of  the  manor,  and  whose  issue  failed. 
From  1759  to  quite  recent  years  the  Hard-

GowER  Family  or  WoRCESTBRaHiRE. — 
In  Nichols's  'Antiquities  and  Annals  of  the 
County  Families  ot  Wales  ^  it  is  stated,  in 
the  article  dealing  with  the  family  of  Gower 
of  Castle  Malg^^'yn,  Pembroke,  that  Abel 
Gower  of  Houghton  St.  John,  'Woroeater 
(who  died  1669).  was  **  second  cousin  to  the 
first  Lord  Gower." 

Being  a  descendant  of  Abel  Gower,  1 
have  endeavoured  to  trace  the  connexion 
between  the  Worcestershire  family  and  the 
family  now  represented  by  the  Dxike  of 
Sutherland,  but  without  success.  The  pedi- 
gree of  the  Worcestershire  family  is  given 
in  the  Worcestershire  Visitation  of  1669, 
and  apparently  there  is  no  near  connexion 
between  the  two  families,  at  least  in  the 
male  line.  Their  arms  are  moreover  differ- 
ent. I  shall  be  glad  to  receive  any  informa- 
tion on  the  matter. 

I  shall  also  be  glad  to  be  referred  to 
references  to  the  Worcestershiro  family, 
I  am  acquainted  with  those  in  Naah  and

to  the  Ordnance  Department  many  years 
before  1839. 

If  I  remember  rightly,  a  mihtJa  staff 
sergeant  who  taught  me  rifle-shooting  about 
forty -eight  years  ago  told  me  that  a  common 
way  of  loadinp  the  amoothboro  musket  had 
been  to  put  a  bitten  cartridge  into  tlie  muzzle, 
and  then  bong  the  butt-end  on  the  ground 
without  using  the  nun  rod  at  all. 

Perhaps  it  was  the  same  man  who  told  me 
that  when  llriug  the  old  fliiit-Iock  muskets 
soldiers  would  turn  their  faces  aside,  leet 
their  eyes  should  bo  injured  by  the  splash 
of  the  priming.  Robkbt  Pxerpoint.

charges  of  horeey  and  treasonable  corre- 
spondence with  the  Scottish  queen.  He 
was  soon  set  free ;  but  sent  to  the  Fleet 
in  1583  for  the  "seemijig  heresies"  and 
treason  supposed  to  be  found  in  his  book 
entitled  '  A  Preservative  against  the  Poison 
of  Supposed  Prophecies,'  a  learned  attack

sent  on  parole  to  the  house  of  Sir  Nicholas

1585,  he  wrote  to  Burghley,  begging  per-

Guii*dhai-l:  Old  Statues  (11  S.  i.  208, 
333,  376).— W.  B.  H/s  final  sentence  at  the 
second  reference  would  seem  to  infer  that  it 
might  have  been  possible  to  seek  for  these 
statues  at  Corfe  Castle,  had  they  not  been 
restored  to  the  City  at  the  death  of  Thomas 
Banks,  the  sculptor,  as  statod  in  Cassell's 
*  Old  and  New  London  *  (I  prefer  to  call  it 
Thornbury'a  or  Walford's). 

But  ho  forgets  that  the  castle  was  laid 
in  ruins  in  the  wars  between  King  Charles 
and  his  Parliament,  when,  after  a  long  and 
most  strenuous  defence  by  the  "  Brave 
Dame  Mary,"  Cromwell  lurnself  superin- 
tended the  final  assault,  and  ordered  the 
demohtion  of  its  massive  buildings,  which 
he  took  caro  to  seo  was  well  done.  It  was 
a  ulace  of  immense  natural  strength,  and 
will  for  ever  remain  a  landmark  in  oiu* 
national  history. 

These  statues,  therefore,  could  never  have 
found  a  home  at  Corfe  Castle,  thougli.  if 
Price's  be  the  correct  vereion.  they  may 
still,  perhaps,  be  looked  for  at  Kingston 
Lacy,  near  Wimbome,  the  seat  of  the  present 
head  of  the  Bonkes  family,   where  is  en- 


fihrined  a  magnificent  collection  of  paintings 
and  other  works  of  art-  An  inquiry  there 
might  settle  this  question. 

May  I  conclude  with  a  query  ?  Witt

Five  years  afterwards,  on  16  Dec,  1688,

On  28  Dec.,  1688.  Lord  Dartmouth  wrote  as 
follows  to  sir.  Secretary  PepjT* : — 

"Not  knowing  his  HiRhneitB' intentions  of  keeti-

George  Legge,  Lord  Dartmouth,  was  the 
admiral  who  went  out  with  a  fleet  to  int-ercept 
William  of  Orange.  Failing  to  do  this,  he 
was  sent  to  the  Tower,  where  he  died  in  1691.

be  *'  The  Fubbs  Yacht,**  named  after  a 
vessel  of  about  lOU  tons  with  a  crew  of 
thirty  all  told.  She  was  built  at  Doptford 
by  one  of  the  Petta,  and  called  the  Fubbs, 
perhaps  from  hor  peculior  build  ;  she  was 
altered  at  Woolwich,  and  broken  up  there 
in  tho  reign  of  William  111.  She  is  often 
mentioned  in  the  litenvture  of  the  period, 
sometimes  as  the  Phubbs  (see  Historical

With  reference  to  this  subject  Sir  Edward 
Clarke  has  written  to  me  thus  : — 

"  As  far  as  I  know,  the  flpst  suggestion  raadc  in 
England  that  Taona"  (Tnitod  ^Ute«  Of  A'orth 
.liuerictt)  would  be  the  appropriate  n&me  for  the 
United  St«.tca  was  made  by  me  at  the  Thanks- 
giving Day  Banquet  of  the  American  Society 
at  the  Hot«l  Cecil  on  24  November,  lOfM.  That 
passage  from  my  speeoh  was  publiftluxl  in  r/« 
Timoa  of  the  following  day.  I  dirl  nut  invent 
(or  rather  discover)  the  word,  but  heard  it  at 
Toronto  during  my  trip  through  Canada  in  1003.'*

The  Rtn-E  or  the  Road  (11  S.  ii.  161). 
— Is  not  Mr.  Mahaffy  wrong  in  saying  *'  it 
■was  desirable,  when  two  horses  were  parsing 
on  the  road,  that  the  men  leading  them 
fihould  each  be  between  his  horse  and  the 
other  horse  and  man "  ?  He  is  arguing 
from  present-day  experience,  particularly 
in  hunting  districts,  of  the  convenient 
method  when  a  led  horse  meets  wheeled 
vehicles  on  a  made  road.  But  the  "rule 
of  the  road "  is  supposed  to  have  been 
made  in  pack-horse  days,  when  it  waa  no 
question  of  leading  **  a '^  horse,  or  of  two 
horses  meeting,  but  when  the  horses  were  in 
strings.  Also,  the  pack-tracks  were  narrow, 
and  often  deeply  worn  troughs,  so  low  and  so 
iniry  that  "highway"  and  "  hard -way  " 
were  used  as  distinctive  names  for  *'  made  '* 
roads.  We  know  that  the  left  side  of  the 
horse  haa  long  been  the  "  near "  side. 
because  the  man  leads  with  Ids  right  hand ; 
and  we  know  that  pack-horse  trains  were 
so  apt  to  straggle  that  it  was  usual  to  have 
a  bell  on  the  leading  horse.  Most  of  the  old 
trackways  were  not  fenced,  but  were 
bordered  by  strips  of  wooded  or  open  coimtry 
— sufficient,  at  any  rate,  to  enable  travelling 
horses  and  droves  of  cattle  to  pick  up  a  good 
deal  of  their  living  along  tlie  waysido.     The 


man  who  led  the  train  drew  over  to  the 
left,  that  he  might  walk  on  the  Hrtner  ground 
while  the  horses  plodded  in  the  worn  and 
often  dirty,  always  rough  track.  .Suppose 
two  strings  of  horses  met.  Can  we  imagine 
each  of  the  leading  men  (he  would  have 
assistants  if  there  were  many  horses)  pushing 
over  his  horse  to  the  further  sides  of  the 
narrow  track,  then  going  along  the  line  to 
turn  the  others,  the  two  trains  of  horses 
passing  one  another  on  the  banks,  while  the 
men  struggled  in  the  deep  lano  between  1 
I  think  that  when  there  waa  meeting  in  ft 
narrow  way  the  leaders  would  draw  tlieir 
bell-horses  to  the  near  side,  and  call  over  tbs 
others  by  word  of  command.  The  i>ace  was 
very  slow,  and  the  horses  must  have  been 
too  hard-worked  to  be  very  frisky  when  hiden. 
One  object  of  the  bells  was  to  give  notice 
to  trains  coming  in  the  opjDosite  direction, 
so  that  drovers  who  knew  the  road  wooUl 
halt  where  there  was  a  good  pass,  rather 
than  push  on  to  meet  another  train  in  the 
narrow  ways.  When  a  laden  train  met  one 
that  was  travelling  **  hght/'  the  latter 
gave  way. 

It  seems  to  me  that  our  rule  of  the  road 
comes  by  direct  descent  from  the  rule  of 
the  trackway.  H.  Snowden  Wabd.

Smollktt's  *  History  op  Enoland  ' 
(11  S.  ii.  129,  213).— I  have  to  thank  Mr. 
Scott  for  hia  exhauntive  infonuation  regard- 
ing the  evolution  of  SmoUett'a  '  History,' 
which  he  has  gone  into  in  a  most  thorough 
manner.  I  may,  however,  be  permitted 
to  aay  that  1  think,  by  his  suggeetivo  intro- 
duction of  the  name  of  Robert  Bisset,  LL.JD. 
(1759-1805),  as  one  of  the — at  present  un- 
revealed — continuatora  of  Smollett,  he  has 
*'  reckoned  without  hist  host.'*  He  is  correct 
ia  aaauming  that  I  am  relying  on  family 
**  trtwiition.^'  No  one  can  bo  more  cognizant 
than  I  am  how  unreliable  such  a  source 
often  is.  But  deriving  my  information, 
through  my  motlier.  from  an  aunt  of  hers, 
who  must  have  been  almost  in  daily  inter- 
ooiu-se  with  her  grand-uncle,  the  Rev. 
William  Bisset  (1729-1807).  during  his  later 
years,  and  whose  ''traditions"  I  have 
hitherto,  by  dint  of  muoli  reaearch,  been  able 
to  verify  in  every  detail  for  my  own  sotia- 
faotion,  I  should  not  be  nirprised  were  I 
some  day  to  unearth  fragments  uf  corre- 
spondence between  Smollett  and  my  relative, 
and  so  prove  what  I  had  hoped  to  obtain 
in  a  speedier  way  through  tnese  coluiTms, 
from  some  prefatory  reference  in  one  or 
other  of  the  editions  of  Smollett's  *  History  * 
which  I  have  not  seen. 

The  absence  of  a  name  from  biographical 
dictionaries,  to  which  Mr.  Scott  alludes, 
is  no  criterion.  especijiUy  in  regard  to  those 
who  "  hide  their  light  under  a  bualiel." 
This,  doubtleea,  is  apparent  to  readers  who 
frenuently  confliilt  the  *  D.N.B.' — Britain's 
Valhalla*   wherein  at  the  eleventh  hour  a 


column,  and  more,  was  erected,  at  my 
instance,  to  an  undoubted  hero,  who  other- 
wise would  have  been  outside  the  walls.

monial contract "  of  the  descendants  of

married  into  foreign  familiea.  Kor  is  il 
the  iiact  that  marriages  under  that  Act 
require  to  be  "  approved  by  the  soveroigiw 
and  not  diftapjiroved  by  Parliament."  If 
the  sovereign  ajiprovea,  nothing  more  a 
necessary.  If  this  conBont  is  refused*  and 
the  person  desiring  to  many  is  above  the  oga 
of  twenty-five  years,  he  or  she  may  give 
notice  to  the  Privy  Council,  and  at  ths 
expiration  of  twelve  months  the  r  -

The  d«  facto  marriage  of  the  late  ^")4|H

a  mistake.  Prom  the  legal  point  of  view, 
the  ceremony  was  a  mere  nullity,  and  could 
not  constitute  a  marriage  of  any  kind.

of  the  part,  and  every  word  of  it  is  worthy  of 
consideration  as  are  the  fine  photographie  repro- 
ductifjna  which  illustrate  the  text. 

The  second  part  ia  designed  for  the  use  of  the 
visitor  to  Rnme  who  is  desirous  of  s*'eing  the 
tomlis  to  the  best  advantage.  The  churches,  &c.r 
are  arranged  alphalH'tically.  and  the  monu- 
ments in  them  described  in  order.  The  88  illustra- 
tions are  an  invaluable  addition  to  the  lUrrature 
of  the  subject.  Any  une  visiting  Rt>nie  ought  to 
take  with  hlin  the  volume  if  ho  is  at  all  interested

We  shoxUd  like  to  conclude  with  a  word  of 
sjTiipathy  for  our  author's  spirited  defence  or

that  great  artist's  work  a  certain  st^nse  th»t  dilU- 
cult ies  have  bwn  created  to  be  abolished,  but  that 
is  far  from  attri))uting  to  him  aJouc  a  decadence 
which  already  existed  in  his  time,  and  would  have- 
run  its  course  without  him.  We  commend  the 
whole  of  chap.  x.  nn  Komsno  and  Sansovino

decline  and  fall  of  Renascence  art, 

BritUh  Costume  during  Nineteen  Ceniuties,  By- 
Mrs.  Charles  H.  Ashdowm  (T.  C.  &  E.  C- 
Jack.) 

Mrs.  Askijcjwn's  handsome  volume  baa  been 
produced,  if  we  mistake  not,  with  a  view  to 
meeting  the  practicol  requirements  of  pageants — 
a  form  of  popular  enthusiasm  which  certainly 
has  some  educationiil  value  and  promotes  at 
Icflst  outaide  acquaintance  with  historical  periods 
and  personages.  It  is  admirably  adapted  for 
the  purpose  of  those  who  desire  to  secure  accuracy 
in  organising  these  entcrtaiwnents,  but  it  nppralw 
also  to  a  irider  public. 

Mrs.  Ashdown  supplies  her  illustrations  with 
a  liberal  hand,  about  Hve  hundred  and  eighty 
in  hU,  and  some  of  these  effectively  cctloured.. 
Fnim  a  long  and  close  study  of  the  '*  sources  " 
she  has  been  able  to  lay  her  hand  on  the  right 
u)atonnl  for  her  book  in  the  Cottonian,  Ilarleian^ 
and  other  collections  of  MSS..  and  wht-n  these  fail 
she  resorts  to  church  monuments  and  brasses, 
so  that  a  complete  treatise  de  re  vetttiariA  i§  the 
result.  In  the  final  ch/tpter,  which  is  devoted  to 
'  KcclcfilflBtical  Dreae,'  we  meet  the  somewhat  sur- 
prising statement  that  in  the  Middle  Ages  "  no 
particular  habit  was  adopted  to  diiTerentlaic 
iMftweeu  the  clergy  and  the  laity"  (p.  355).  So 
much  the  worse  for  the  pageant.  If  this  is  true- 
But  is  it  ?  As  to  the  evolution  of  the  mitre, 
suggested  in  Fig.  430.  it  must  >>e  an  eye  of  alto- 
gether abnormal  keenness  that  can  discern  the 
incipient  hf>ms  t>f  it  chiimed  to  be  there.  Then 
have  beards  a  legitimate  place  in  a  book  no^ 
costume  ?  *'  The  pmril  on  the  chin,"  quoted 
here  from  '  Cynthia's  Revels  '  as  a  dcscripliou 
of  an  "  imperial,"  evidently  refers  to  the  paint- 
bi*\ifih,  and  not  to  pennoncel,  the  flag,  as  sug- 
gested (p.  269). 

jUthough  references  aro  properly  given  for  the 
provenance  of  the  illustratione.  they  are  occa- 
sionally wanting.  We  look  in  vain,  e.g.,  for  the 
riourti'  of  the  two  curious  representations  of  a 
fifteenth-century  dinner  party  (pp.  205,  206). 

"  Goacon  "  (p.  259]  is  a  misprint  for  Gosson, 
and  '  Satiromastic  *  (p.  362)  for  *  Satiromastix.' 
It  is  an  excellent  book  ou  a  moat  interesting 
subject.

'JOXATHAX   WILD  THE   GREAT*: 
ITS    GERM. 

G.  T.  BispH^^'s  moat  int«re3ting 
informing;  contribution  on  Fielding's 
kn  Wild '  to  the  recently  published 
*  Eighteenth  Century  Literature  : 
Oxford  ^Oscellany,'  raises  once  more 
^  question  when  was  written  what  I 
>m*  with  the  essayist  in  considering  a 
**  ■■*erpi<*ce  of  prose  satire."  We  know 
t^Sl  wad  publiiihod  in  1743  ;  Mr.  Edmund 
Oti^  attrn>vit««  its  ^Titin^  to  1740  ;  and 
Xr.  Btspham  questions  "  wliether  the  book 
'  belong   to   a    still  earlier    time — 

of  Fielding*B  greateet  ill-luck, 
after  the  passing  of  Walpole's 
Act  •  "  in  1737.  Mr.  Au.stin 
^lM)«aa.  it  is  especially  to  be  added,  finds  the 
fint  nCBk  ID  a  passage  Fielding  wrote  in 
fht  Ckompicn  for  March.  1740  :— 

**  R«v<>(*^'^^  often  coartfi  those  moat  who

Uttcamg 


For  myself  I  find  the  germ  very  much 
earlier — so  very  much  earlier,  indeed,  as 
witJiin  a  few  weeks  of  Wild's  execution  at 
Tyburn  on  24  May.  1725  ;  for  7V/m/'«  WteUy 
Journal  of  Saturday.  12  Juno,  contained  the 
following  remarkable  article,  both  the  nib- 
stance  and  the  style  of  wliich  deserve  close 
study : — 

**  As  I  was  loiteriDg  the  other  Day  in  a  Book- 
Heller's  Hbnp,  1  took  up  the  next  Thing  tn  my 
Hand,  in  order  to  amuse  my  self,  and  It  proved 
to  be  a  Pamphlet  nevrly  pubUvhed,  containmg  the 
Life  of  thAt  eek'brated  .StAtesman  and  PoUtitian, 
the  UU'  Mr.  Jonathan  Wild, 

**  1  call  him  both  Statesman  and  PoUtitian, 
heoAU»e  I  do  not  understand  them  to  he  aynunim- 
ouii  T»*ruis  ;  for.  I  roni'eivi*.  it  is  well  knutvu  lo 
many  Persons,  still  living,  that  there  have  been 
some  Statesmen  in  the  M'orld  who  never  wer^  so 
much  as  suspected  of  being  Polititians,  as  n-el] 
asau  infinite  Nmnherof  PolititiAns  who  never  were 
Statesmen. — But  th*?  extraordinary  Person,  of 
whom  we  are  WritioK,  was  an  Instance  of  both. 

"  The  Historian  has  curiously  enough  accounted 
by  what  sort  of  Arts  JonaiMan  made  himself 
considerable,  and  drew  the  Eyes  of  the  admhixtg 
World  upon  him,  he  has  given  many  Instances 
of  his  deep  Fetch  in  PoUtkks,  when  he  describes 
that  Form,  or  rather  that  System  of  Government 
which  be  established  over  the  Thieves. 

'*  I  Bhail  not  touch  upcm  any  Thing  taken 
Notice  of  by  that  Writer,  but  as  he  haa  shewn  hiiri 
in  his  publick  Capacitv^  I  shall  descril>e  him 
in  his  Closet,  and  give  the  Observations  I  mude 
by  a  Personal  Acquaintance,  and  long  Conversa- 
tion with  this  great  Genius* 

"  PerliRps  the  Reodersmay smile  to  henrmespeak 
in  such  hijjh  Terms,  of  one  who  (to  call  Things  hy 
their  proper  Xamea )  was  no  better  than  &  2*AiW. — 
I  own  that  the  word  Thief  is  generally  apply  d 
by  I'eople,  who  do  net  value  themselves  upon 
their  Politeness,  to  Persons  of  Mr.  II  iWa  Charac- 
ter.— Yet  I  suppose  it  will  l>e  granted,  that  a 
Person  may  be  a  Rogue,  and  yet  be  a  great 
Afon,  which  may  excuse  me  for  employing  more 
gentle  Terms  when  I  only  speak  of  him  as  a  Alan 
of  Porta. 

**  Mr.  WILD  (like  other  great  Men)  had  a  Turn  of 
.Thought  peculiar  to  himself ;  be  was  not  fur 
following  ihe  common  Rood,  he  was  for  going  oat 
t>f  the  be&tcn  Paths  in  Search  of  Adventurea,  nor 
was  he  less  aingolor  in  his  Notions ;  it  was  his 
Opluion,  that  Men   of   Parta   (in  which  Class  he 

aometlmes  Included Thieves  and  idle  FeDows) 

should  be  maintained  by  the  Publick,  and  whether 
it  w^as  done  by  picking  their  Pnckets,  or  boldly  i>y 
taking  their  Money  by  Force,  he  thought  it  niueii 
thn  SHiue  Tliing. — He  was  u  grv-at  Admirer  of  Ihnt 
Advice,  which,  it  ta  said,  a  Afon  when  he  was 
dying  gave  his  Son, — Get  Jloney  Son,  honestly, 
if  you  ran  :  but.  koteever,  gri  Monry  ;  and  would 
often  say,  it  must  be  a  wise  Msp,  who  pronounced 
that  Sentence. 

"  Tho'  he  was  a  Man  much  given  to  Contempla- 
tion, yet  he  hod  rood  Men  more  than  Books, 
for  he  was  of  Opinion,  there  was  more  to  be  leArtied 
thereby,  since  we  are  to  live  by  the  Living,  not 
by  the  Dead  ;  however,  he  had  convetved.  <ms3m^

NOTES  AND  QUERIEa         (118.11  oc-r.  i.  iBim 


I  have  oft^n  aucn  hU  Lilirary.  which  consiatod  of 
BonkB,  few  in  Xnmbi^r,  liut  well  choat'ii  ;  I  will 
Bay  uothing  of  Tradeauien'B  Shop-Buijks,  which  be 
only  deiilt  [eic]  tn  hU  Way  of  Busiuesti,  or,  I  may 
B&y«  as  he  could  lay  his  Hands  upon  them,  for  they 
yielded  Money.  But  Ihn  Authors  which  ho 
■tudy'd  most  were  Alarhutvfl,  Tlie  Ettglvih  Hogite, 
The  Lives  of  the  IHnh  Way  Men,  Cook  ufion  LittU' 
ion,  Echard'8  History  of  England^  a  Collection  of 
Sf^&ionJt  Papers,  and  Corneluis  7'acitHa. 

*'  TboB  his  Ldbrary  conaistod  of  a  mixture  of 
PoUtielc9»  Law  and  Hitttory.  By  what  he  had 
studied  of  English  Kit^t^jry,  ho  found  out  that 
there  are  mon-  wise  Men  to  be  mot  with  in  these 
Timce,  than  any  former  Age  could  boast  of  ;  for 
heretofore  it  apjwared  to  him  as  if  Men  wi-re  apt 
to  give  in  to  aome  foolish  Prejudicefl  wliicb  Jiindt?p 
a  Man's  thriving  and  growing  groat  in  the  World, 
such  as  Honour  and  Conscience,  which  now,  ftays 
he,  yoUP  busy  pushing  People    look,    upon    to  be 

OhimerAS.  and   therefore   you  see   that  and 

and  many  more,  who  arc  rising  People,  don't 

make  the  least  Pretences  to  either. 

"  It  is  certain  he  understood  do  Latin,  for  he 
had  omploy'd  his  Time  to  greater  Advantage 
than  in  learning  Words  j  Imt  as  he  had  observed 
some  Ltatin  Sentences  now  and  then  scattered 
thro'  my  Works,  an  AfTectatiou,  we,  the  present 
Set  of  Writers,  are  much  addicted  to,  he  took 
me  to  be  something  of  a  Scholar,  and  therefore, 
consulted  mc  in  explaining  to  liim  the  Annals  of 
Tacitus :  When  I  read  t-o  him  how  slavishly 
the  Romans  submitted  themselveB  to  be  thus 
governed,  he  shook  his  Head,  and  said,  those 
were  fine  Timea  to  get  Money  :  for  when  the 
Senate  and  all  the  Magistrates  judged  and  dern^ed 
-no  otherwise  than  as  they  were  directed  by  the 
Emocror,  or  his  Favorites,  an  enterprising  Man 
(under  whicli  Denomination  he  included  alt 
Roguefl)  had  an  easy  Gamo  to  play,  for,  says  he. 
It  was  but  touclunK  the  Courtiers  (I  speak  in  his 
own  Terms)  aud  all  was  rug;  for  Courtiera  are 
cUteagB  obaequiouti  to  the  Touch. 

"  As  he  often  frequent^-d  the  Plays,  partly 
for  Pleasure,  and  partly  for  Profit  {having 
generally  Hands  at  Work  there)  he  much  admired 
that  Scene  in  the  *  Kocruiting  OflHcer,'  where  the 
Constable  bringing  a  Man  before  a  Magistrate. — 
The  Magistrate  demands  of  the  Coustaijle  what 
he  has  to  say  agaiust  thrat  Man,  nothiftg,  (answers 
the  Constable)  but  that  he's  an  honest  A/ on. 
— ^Thifl  Sentence  always  tickled  Jonathan,  and 
he  said,  he  had  rather  to  have  been  Author  of 
that  Sentence  than  the  whole  play  besides,  for, 
added  he,  tbla  is  Natural,  this  iB  taken  from 
Ufe. 

"  He  bore  a  very  great  Veneration  for  Men  of 
Parts,  and  has  often  been  heartl  to  say,  that 
Men  of  Wit,  wlio  hs\'e  no  other  Inheritance  to 
maintitin  them,  should  ride  the  World,  and  bridle 
and  saddle  the*  rest  of  3t unkind  one  wjiy  or  other  ; 
but  he  abharr'd  QujM.'ks  or  Pretenders  in  any 
Art  or  Science,  anri  therefore  he  commended  tho 
Policy  of  the  Jesuites,  who  ha^-iugtbe  Education 
of  Youth  committed  to  them,  took  Care  that  no 
Fool  should  be  admitted  into  their  Society,  and 
he  thought  that  the  Hoguea  in  Gr^  Briimn  should 
imitate  the  s&me  PoUcy;  for  tho*  the  Faculty,  as 
he  Bometbnes  merrily  stUed  it,  was  in  a  very 
prosperfjui!  Way,  yet  so  many  Fools  and  Gunglors 
were   daily  thrusting    thcmBclvcB   into    it,    tliat 


nitli  a  heavy  Heart  ho  foresaw  they  would  brn,g 
Hogtwrg  into  Discredit,  at  last,  uith  the  TVorid. — 
This  was  owUig,  he  said,  to  Mens  mistaking  their 
Inclination  for  Genius.  There  are,  no  doubt  <iti'l, 
at  this  Time,  added  he,  great  Xmnbers  of  Pw>t)W 
posaesfl'd  with  strong  liH-linntions  for  entnztg 
into  our  Society,  as  they  shew  by  their  daily 
Actions,  but  they  want  Paris,  they  hove  Ibe 
Will  without  the  Skill.  Addrrus  or  PoUcy,  which 
are  the  Qualities  that  must  bear  op  Persons  of 
our  I^rofesaion  in  the  World. — Where's  the  Mtrit 
of  cheating  Women  or  Chiltirni,  Lunalirke,  or 
Ideotn  ?  who  are  not.  In  any  Capacity  of  de- 
fending themselves. — I  would  expel  such  a  mesa 
spirited  Professor  from  my  Soc^iety,  as  n  Per*»o 
untrorfAy  of  the  ?>'ame  of  Kngue,  and  unfit  lor 
any  ingenious  Enterprize  ;  I  should  contema 
him  as  I  would  that  braggiog  Soldier,  who  boast- 
ing of  his  Courage,  said,  that  he  had  eat  off  tb« 
Leg  of  an  Enemy  in  the  last  Battle  :  It  had  bcra 
braver,  methinka,  says  one  who  stood  by,  to 
have  cut  off  his  Head :  Oh  I  says  he,  Uut 
was  cut  off  before." 

This  article  was  continuod  and  completed 
in  the  foUuwing  issue,  thus  : — 

**  In  my  last  I  began  to  enter  upon  the  Chandct 
of  the  lato  celebrated  Mr,  Jonathan  Wild,  of  mu«t 
ingeniotis  and  most  roguish  Memory  ; — but,  I  flod 
now,  that  I  only  drew  the  Out'liues  of  his  Plgun^ 
and  that  much  remains  ntiU  undone  towai^ 
giviuK  the  World  a  right  Idea  not  only  of  tfc» 
Capacity  of  this  oxtraordinary  Man,  but  of  tkik 
Plan  wbicli  he  had  forrn'd  to  himself  for  tki 
Conduct  and  (lovemment  of  Life. 

"Therefore  I  think  flt  to  observe,  that 
known    Intimacy    with    some    Persona    of    ctio- 
sidorable    Rank    gave    Men    Occasion    to   n 
that  he  wm,  at  Bottom,  the  IVijector,  at 
Adviser — of  several  very  strange  Thinga,  wi 
lato   Years  liave   appeared   in   the   World    ( 
no  small  Discredit). — Aa   I   would  give  the 
his  due,  so  I  shall  endeavour  to  clear     bini 

those  false  ^Vspet^ions  which  seem  to  MaclcL 

Memory-,  being  willing  to  aet  the  World  rljiht  in 
that  Affair. 

"  Among  other   things  he   intlrely   disclote'll 
hie    boviug    any    Hand    to    the    late    Si'Ulh-Se^A 
Scheme,  and  protested   he     hod  Do  aoquaistaJicv 
with    Mr.    HtMcti    Knight;     nor    would     '        — 
that  he  was  any  way  concern *d  in   1 1

Coyper,  nor  in  the  Brass,  or  Iron,  or  l^eai 
or  any  of  those  ridicuhjus  Prc»jects  which  1 
Times  started  up  every  Dav  in  'ChangcAl 
died  in  a  Weelt. — Not  that  It  would  have  disi 
his   Conscience    to   have    got    Money    that 
(which   he  frankly  own'd  to  me  ;)    hut  hit 
was  such,  that  he  acorn 'd  to  be  concern  "d

Ingenuity  in   the   Contrivance,  and   oumo  I>«

a  literary  talent  which  blossomed  earlj'.  for 
the  first  of  his  dramatic  esaaj's  produced  on

Let  any  one  carefully  study  the  style  of  the

"  great,"  the  attack  upon  Walpole  (after- 
wards developed  in  various  directions,  and 
not  least  pointedly  in  *  Jonathan  Wild  the 
Great '),  and  the  promise  of  a  biographical 
study  of  the  hero  to  follow  some  years  later 
tiiis  critical  one.  and  he  will  be  tempted  to 
ask  what  other  author  of  the  time  can  be 
credited  with  the  effort.

public  spirit  of  the  Mtstropolis "  whether 
this  de^^irahle  object  can  be  accomplished. 
as  the  Hon.  Secretary.  Mr,  Richardson  Evans, 
vtrrote  in  Tfie  Standard  of  3  Sonteinber. 
Where  this  brook  falls  into  the  Thames  is 
a  sort  of  delta,  above  which  may  have  been 
the  haunt  of  the  beavers  in  days  of  yore. 

There  are  many  other  small,  now  shrunken 
tributaries  of  rivers  whore  evidently  these 
ingenious  animals  have  had  their  dwellings 
in  former  ages,  perhaps  in  some  few  m^ses, 
as  in  Wales,  even  down  to  the  time  of 
Giraldus  Cainbrensis.  In  fact,  we  may 
suspect  there  were  at  one  time  beavers  in  the 
woods  above  the  le\'el  of  the  Thames  marshes 
.in  the  Westboume^  the  l^boume,  and  the 
Fleet. 

In  the  case  of  the  picturesque  old  York- 
shire town  of  Beverley,  which  naa  grown  up 
around  the  grand  and  venerable  minster  of 
St.  Jolin.  the  name  is  said,  from  its  early 
spelling  *'  Beverlac,'*  to  have  meant  the 
*'  beavers'  lake."  This  the  late  Caxon 
Isaac  Tayiajb  has  shown  (9  S.  vi.  6)  to  be  a 
mistake,  as  **  lac  '*  represent*  Uag,  a  meadow. 
a.s  in  Elmeslac.  Besides,  *'  lake  '*  was  not 
used  in  Yorkshire ;  even  a  village  duck- 
pond  was  called  a  **  mere  '*  or  **  man*  *'  in 
the  East  Riding. 

It  is  a  ciu-ious  fact,  however — and  there 
are  many  examples  in  the  Dominion  of 
Canada,  where  **  beaver  meadows  "  abound 
—that  when  a  beaver  dam  is  abandoned, 
as  these  always  are  in  time  on  the  approach 
of  man,  the  lake  gets  silted  up  like  a  neglected 
mill-pond.  An  emerald-green  meadow  then 
'takes  its  place  as  if  by  magic  A  slug^i^h 
ibeck  still  wanders  through  Beverley  mto 
the  Hull,  and  Highgate  and  Eastgate  form  a 
•aort  of  triangle  with  the  Minster,  which  may 
■well  have  been  built  on  the  site  of  the  dam, 
\Vednc«tlay  Market  being  the  apex  of  the 
green  meadow  in  the  wood  that  probably 
attracted  St.  John  to  this  secluded  spot 
-«arly  in  the  eighth  century.  Tliis  was  the 
*'  beaver  lea,"  for  the  beavers  had  gone,  but 
'those  who  first  named  it  knew  that  such 
it  was. 

Nigel  de  "  Mubrai "  [temp.  Hen.  IT.)  gave 
the  monks  of  Fountains  an  extension  of 
their  lands  towards  Craven,  ''ad  increinen-

p.  4S,  and  i^  euiiilud  ''The  lover  to  his  bed. 
vitb  dcAcribiii^  of  his  unquiet  state.^'     It  is 


a  very  fine  piece  of  work,  and  was  admired 
by  Puttennain.  The  parallel  poem  in 
Turber%nle,  p.  62,  is  headed  "Tlie  Lover  to 
his  careful]  bed,  declaring  his  restless  stat«.'* 
and  the  burden  all  through  is  "(O  bed.)  I 
thee  forsake." 

Sometimes  the  titles  in  Tottel  and  Turber* 
vile  are  identical,  and  the  poems  exhibit 
not  only  identity  of  subject  and  similarity 
of  treatrnent.  but  also  the  same  language  or 
phrasinj?.  Most  certainly,  Puttenham  waa 
justified  in  denouncinp  Turvervile  as  an 
imitator,  but  I  think  he  treated  the  poet 
too  harshly,  and  must  have  had  some  per- 
sonal motive  in  doin^  so.

Faibies  :  RcFFs  AND  Reeves. — A  UUTSe 
told  a  child  of  mine,  some  time  before  the 
middle  of  the  sixtic^s  of  the  last  century,  that 
her  mother  had  seen  fairies  dancing  on 
Brmnby  Common  in  the  north-west  of 
Lineolilahire,  near  the  Trent.  When  thia 
fancifid  story  was  repeated  to  me.  1  had  no 
difficulty  in  eupplymg  its  interpretation. 
The  woman  had  assuredly  not  told  a  wilful 
falsehood,  but  what  she  had  seen,  and  felt 
sure  were  fairies,  were  ruffs  and  ree%'es  dan- 
cing on  a  dry  hillock  in  a  solitary  place» 
where  they  were  almost  sure  to  be  fre«  from 
interr\jption.  They  have,  I  bebeve..  often 
been  seen  engaged  in  this  si>ort  ;  but  now 
these  beautiful  and  intexesting  birds  are 
alaiost,  if  not  entirely  extinct,  though 
they  were  common  before  the  days  of  Xuet 
gre»i  t  enclosures,  when  there  was  a  long 
stretch  of  uncultivated  land  on  the  faslem. 
bank  of  the  Trent,  which  wild  birds  and 
mammals  hod  nearly  to  themselves.

**  Airman." — The  appearance  of  this 
neologism  as  an  equivalent  for  ''aviator" 
surelv  de«er\-€e  to  bwe  clironicled  in  the  pages 
of  •  K.  &  Q.'  Though  the  "  N.E.D.*  quotes 
two  instances  of  the  use  of  "airmanship" 
from  The.  Daily  Telegraph  of  1864,  the  word 
"  airman,"  so  far  as  I  urn  aware,  first 
occurred  in  The  Timen  of  13  July  last,  iu  an 
account  of  the  death  of  the  Hon.  C.  S. 
Rolls  at  Bournemouth,  as  also  in  that 
paper's  leading  article  thereon.  Presumably 
the  word  was  formed  on  the  model  of 
'•  seaman  "  and  **  superman,'*  and  not  in 
contradistinction  to  **  waterman."  It  re- 
mains to  be  seen  whether  it  will  become

Caslon's  Type  -  Foundby,  Chiswezx 
Street. — The  destruction  of  the  old  house 
for  so  many  years  in  the  occupat  ion  of  Meears. 
H.  W-  Cftslon  &  Co.,  the  famous  type* 
founders,  is.  T  think,  worthy  of  a  note  in 
'  N.  &  0-'  The  niuBCum  of  type  ruriositiep 
and  antiquities,  and  the  fine  collection  of 
valuable  books,  the  property  of  the  firm, 
have  been  remo\'ed  to  tneir  new  premises 
in  the  same  street.  The  building  now 
being  demolished,  an  old-fashioned  structure 
with  low-ceilinged  rooms  and  windows  flush 
with  the  walls,  was  built  in  1730,  when 
Ko.  22  served  the  founder  of  the  finn, 
William  Caslon,  both  as  his  mansion  and 
his  business  premises. 

Caslon  the  first,  as  he  is  known  in  the 
world  of  printing,  was  bom  at  Halesowen  in 
Worcestershire  in  1692,  of  Spanif^h  parents, 
who  appear  to  have  come  to  England  from 
the  Netherlands.  When  he  hepan  his  life's 
work,  we  received  all  our  type  from  Holland  ; 
but  his  success  was  so  great  tliat  he  not 
only  conquered  the  English  market,  but 
became  renowned  on  the  Continent  as  well. 
He  was  an  enthusiastic  musician,  and  the 
lon^  front  room  on  the  first  floor  was  famous 
for  Its  concerts.  Handel  often  being  a  guest 
at  the  time  when  his  compositions  were  the 
Host  note  in  modem  music.

•*  ScHELM  "  =  Wild  Cabnivora.  —  The

new  meaning  m  Central  Africa  during  the

hunters,  viz.,  a  pack  of  wild  camivora. 
Mr.  Stanley  Portal  Hyatt  in  his  recently

which  produced  in  later  volumes  of  that

mation- This,  however,  mainly  concerned 
such  volumes  as  had  been  so  fixed  in  churches 
or  other  ecclesiastical  buildings ;  but  there 
can  bo  supplied  a  striking  example  of  chained

ROBERT    HAYMAX,    POET. 
(11  S.  ii.  206.) 
J  AM  much  interested  in  Mb,  W.  P.  Coctbt- 
ney's  note  in  which  he  shows  that  Robert 
Hayman    was    the    eldest    son    of    Nicholas 
Uayman.  and  confirms  a  conjecture  I  made 
at  10  S.  X.  23  [11  July,  1908).     The  follow- 
ing additional  particulars — stipplied  to  me 
three  years  ago  by  the  Rev.  T.  H.  Elhott. 
Vicar  of  Totnes — now   become  of  interest. 
They  are  all  from  the  Totnes  registers.

The  Christian  name  of  Robert  Ha^'man's 
mother  was  therefore  Amis.  What  her 
surname  was  wo  do  not  know.  Hayman 
several  times  mentions  as  his  cousin  or 
"cousin  german  "  Arthur  Duck.  Chancellor 
of  London,  who  was  born  at  Heavitree  as 
son  of  Richard  and  Joanna  Duck  in  1680 
(Prince's  *  Worthies  of  Devon  ').  Haymuu 
fnvee  the  title  '*my  cousin  german  "  also  to 
Nicholas  Ducko,  bencher  of  Lincoln's  Inn. 
He  speaks  of  *'  John  Barker,  esq.,  late  mayor 
of. .  ..Bristol,"  OS  *'n}y  brother-in-law." 
He  addresses  a  poem  *  To  Mrs.  Mary  Rogers, 
widdow,  since  inarryed  to  Master  John 
Barker  of  BristoU,  Merchant,  my  Brother- 
in-law*  ;  another  *To  my  young  Cousens, 
lohn  and  William  Barker,  Abel  and  Mathew 
Rogora,  Sonnes  to  my  Brother  Batker  and 


his  now  mfe '  ;  another  *  To  my  pretty 
Neeoe  Marie  Barker ' ;  another  '  To  my 
Neece  and  God-daughter  Grace  Barker' 
(named  no  doubt  aft-er  Haynian's  wife) ; 
another  'To  my  Cousin  BIrs.  KHz.  Flea, 
wife  to  Master  Thos.  Flea  of  Exeter,  Mar- 
chant  *  ;  another  *  To  my  Cousin  Master 
lohn  Gunning  the  yoimger  of  BristoU, 
Merchant,' 

Through  the  good  offices  of  Mr.  ClUoCt, 
Mr.  E.  Windeatt  of  Heckwood,  Totnes, 
supplied  me  with  some  further  facta  relating 
to  Nicholas  Hayman  three  years  ago,  and 
has  since  added  to  his  kindness. 

Mr.  Windeatt  informs  me  of  a  [>aper 
which  he  i^Tote  in  1908  for  the  Devonshir© 
Association  on  *  The  Constitution  of  the 
Merchants'  Company  in  Totnee.  1679-1691' 
In  this  it  is  shown  that  **Mr.  Kic.  Haymazi, 
Secretary,"  appears  among  tbe  oflSc«n  of 
the  Coni[:iany  in  1679.  His  name  also  occun 
among  the  freemen,  and  that  of  "A^lll* 
Hayman  "  among  the  apprentices  of  the 
Company. 

Nicljolas  Hayman  formed  one  of  a  deputa* 
tion  o f  Totnes  merchants  who  wen t  to 
Exeter  to  confer  with  the  merchants  tbc»6 
on  11  June,  1583  (E.  Windeatt's  P«p«; 
*  Totnes :  its  Mayors  and  Mayoraltj 
published  in  The  Western  Antiquary 
the  Transactions  of  the  De\'on 
tion,  p.  41.  and  W.  Cotton.  'An  Elizabethan 

Guild of  Exeter.'  p.  67). 

Nicholas  Hayman's  name  appeara  in  a  list 
of  persons  **who  stibscribed  towards  the 
defence  of  the  county  at  the  tinte  of  tfaft 
Spanish  Armada,'*  as  follows ;  "  IM, 
April  26.  Nicholas  Hayman  £25 "  (Wat 
deatt,  ut  aup.^  p,  45). 

He  was  Mayor  of  Totnes  in  1589,  n 
appears  from  a  letter  of  his  ])re8erved  in  tht 
muniments  of  the  Corporation  of  ToCsmi, 
in  which  he  says  that  he  had  subsequeattf 
gone  to  live  at  Dartmouth  {ibid,,  p.  50). 

Mr.  Windeatt  also  informs  me  of  a  paper 
in  the  British  Museum  dating  from  tb« 
y€>ar  of  Hayman's  Mayoralty  of  Totsei. 
with  the  heading  :  "  1690.  Document  in 
which  a  proposition  is  set  forth  by  the 
Mayor  Nicholas  Hayman  and  the  Corpora*

The     chronoJogical     order     is     not     always

petition  of  George  Brankovics,  which  I  have 
now  found,   bears  no  date  at  all.     Prof. 
SUbctali  assigned  it  to  1691,  and  then  states 
in  his   '  Hungary '   that  the  wa>'wode   (he 
iBMoa  the  despot)  waa  cast  into  prison  in

Boase's  '  Modern  Ekoltsb  Biography  ' : 
WiLUAM  RouPEix  (11  S.  ii.  226).— It  is 
strange  that  Mr.  Boase,  so  well  known  for 
his  accurate  biographies  in  the  ''  D.N.B.* 
(I  rememl>er  the  care  he  took  with  the  notice 
of  my  father,  seeing  me  several  times  in 
reference  to  it ).  sliould  have  fallen  into  error 
as  to  the  death  of  William  RoupelK  No 
doubt  he  was  led  into  the  mistake  by  the 
general  idea  that  RoupoU  was  dead.  Some 
newspapers  found  this  to  their  cost,  and 
ventured  on  libellous  andsensational  accounts 
of  his  romantic  career,  when  they  discovered 
Roupell  to  be  very  much  aUve,  and  had 
to  pay  damages  for  their  indiscretion. 

Roupell.  on  being  released  from  prison, 
returned  to  reside  near  the  home  of  his  boy- 
hood in  Roupell  Park.  He  folt  that  he  had 
done  bis  utmost  to  atone  for  the  great 
wrong  he  had  committed,  and  had  suflered 
his  punishment  ;  and  he  determined  to  do 
his  l>eet  to  show  by  a  consistent  life  that 
he  thoroughly  repented  of  his  crime.  It  is 
believed  by  many  that  all  througli  the  legal 
proceedings  he  was  intent  on  shielding 
another. 

Tho  present  Vicar  of  Christchureh,  Streat* 
ham  Hill,  the  Rev.  C.  Southey  Nicholl, 
related  in  The  Times  that  on  Roupell'H 
release  the  then  vicar,  the  Rev.  Wodehouse 
Raven,  one  of  the  most  courtly  of  men, 
received  Roupell  cordially,  and  took  him 
round  to  all  the  chief  parishioners,  asking 
them  to  bid  him  welcome.  Roupell  from 
that  time,  though  always  in  very  hmnblo 
circumstances,  did  his  beet  to  aid  the 
working-men  in  the  district,  being  secre- 
tary of  their  Slate  Club,  and  on  Sundays 
was  a  regidar  attendant  at  his  old  church 
in  the  Christchureh  Road.  He  was  always 
hard  at  wurk,  and  devoted  much  time 
to  the  culture  of  grapes,  for  some  of 
these  obtaining  prizes  at  the  shows  of  the 
Royal  Horticultural  Society,  of  which  he  waa 
a  Follow.  His  little  cottage  (more  like  a 
Robinson  Crusoe  hut  than  a  cottage)  waa 
close  to  where  I  live,  so  I  saw  him  fre- 
quently, and  many  a  delightful  chat  we  had 
together.  He  waa  full  of  political  infonna. 
tion  of  the  fifties  and  early  sixties,  and 
niunerous  are  the  anecdotes  of  statesmen 
of  these  times  which  he  recounted  to  me 
in  his  beautiful  mellow  voice,  his  fine  open 
countenance  lighting  up  with  tho  pleasant 
smile  with  which  he  greeted  all. 

On  the  Sunday  week  before  he  died — the 
14th  of  Marcli,  1909 — he  came  to  my  house 
and  spent  the  day,  bringing  the  volumes  of 
McCarthy's  'History  of  Our  Own  Times" 
which  I  had  lent  him.     He  gave  er^resaiou

to  the  pleasure  the  work  had  afforded  bim 
recalling  aa  it  did  many  ev'ents  iii  which  hy 
himeelf  nad  taken  part  ;  and  he  spoke  of  its 
great  fairaesa.  Uuforttiniitfly*  on  that  day 
he  took  a  chill ;  there  was  snow  on  the 
ground,  but  he  would  attend  the  morning 
service.  On  partinc  at  night  fron;  my  wife 
and  mjrself  he  said  the  day  had  been  one  of 
the  happiest  Sundays  he  luul  ever  spent. 
On  the  Tuesday  ho  had  a  BOvoro  attack  of 
pneumonia,  and  on  Thursday,  the  25th  of 
March,  1909.  as  stated  by  W.  C.  B.,  he  died. 
On  the  following  Thursdaj',  after  a  8Pr^'^icL'' 
at  Chrifltohurch  iu  which  many  nciglibours 
took  part,  he  was  buried  at  Norwood  in  the 
same  grave  as'.'  his  sister.  Among  the 
tributes  of  flowers  was  a  beautiful  wreath 
from  old  comrades  of  the  Volunteer  corps  of 
wlxich  ho  had  lM>on  colonel. 

RoLipell  would  frequently  say  to  me  that 
when  he  died  "  all  the  terrible  past  would  be 
revived,"  and  so  it  proved.  He  was  desirous 
that  his  life  should  be  written  aa  a  warning 
to  younj?  men.  If  this  were  done,  it  would 
truly  point  the  moral,  *'  Good  in  all.  and  none 
all  good."  John  Collins  Francis. 

•*  Unecunuua":  *'  Ynetunoa":  "Ga  " 
(U  S.  ii.  U3.  211).— Phof.  Skeat's  timely 
remarks  about  the  word  g^  cannot  fail  to 
have  a  twofold  effect :  on  the  one  liand. 
they  will  prevent  investigators  from  speaking 
of  gd  aa  A.-S.  ;  on  the  other»  they  will  ser\e 
to  emphasize  what  I  said  in  the  concluding 
sentence  of  my  note  {*»pria,  p.  144),  when 
I  classilied  my  emendations  into  *Oxna  ga, 
•Ohtna  ga,  and  *Ytena  ga,  as  Jutish.  It  is 
a  pity,  however,  that  when  pRor.  Skeat 
was  condenujing  J.  M.  Keml>le  he  did  not 
at  the  same  time  identify  the  dialect  to 
which  ga  really  does  belong;  for  the  im- 
pression that  would  be  received  from  lus 
remarks  by  a  student  of  the  aiibject  who 
had  not  road  Helfenstein's  *  Comparative 
Grammar  of  the  Teutonic  Languages '  (or 
some  other  author's)  would  be  that  there 
was  not  the  least  justiiication.  ajiart  from 
the  dubious  authority  oi  the  MSS,  of  the 
\  Tribal  Hidage,'  for  tendering  such  a  word. 
But  yH  stands  to  O.H.C^.  gou-,  A.-S.  *g9a, 
in  the  same  relationship  that  such  a  word, 
for  instance,  as  O.F.  fUapa  (a)  does  to 
0»H.C}.  fUoufu  (uu)  and  A.-S,  hleape  (ea), 
I  submit  that  the  fact  that  ga  is  not  trtie 
to  dialect  is  not  sufficient  reason  for  denying 
its  afipearance  iri  an  A.-J>.  document  coni- 
piled  in  the  seventh  century. 

In  Bedo  ('H.E..'  TV.  vi..  p.  218)  we  find

in  -ona  and  yields  *'  Suprignalond."  In  th0

and  we  ought  to  find  "  Sweordona,"  but  th* 
st'ribes  mode  *'  Sweordora  "  of  tliat.  Non* 
of  these  three  nouns  in  -otki  is  true  to 
dinlert,  because  the  A.-S.  gen.  pL  of  weak

stands  a  small  stone  piUar  having  peculiarities 
which  distinguish  it  from  others  in  the 
suiTounding  district.  A  suggestion  has 
been  made  that  it  is  the  remains  of  an 
ancient  cross — a  suggestion  for  which  there 
may  bo  some  reason.  The  sympathies  of 
the  people  of  the  locality  have  been  strongly 
Puritan  for  at  least  250  years.  Three  or 
four  hundred  yards  away  stands  an  un-

the  natives  the  '*  idol  god.^*

New  Englandera  came  to  a  place  called 
Hue's  Cross.  Winthrop,  their  leader,  de-

Hue's  Folly.  May  not  similar  reasons

There  is  a  tall  octuponal  tower  in  Icknield 
Street  West,  Birmingham,  known  us 
Piirrott's  Folly,  mentioned  by  Eliezer  Ed- 
wards in  his  '  Personal  Recollections  of 
Birmingham  and  Birmingham  Men,'  1877. 
Two  motives  are  given  for  its  erection — 
one  for  the  juurpose  of  studying  the  ritars 
(the  owner  being  an  astronomer),  and  the 
other  to  enable  him  to  witness  the  sport  of 
coursing — and  it  may  have  been  used  in 
both  instances.

near  Sutton  CoUlhold,  built  (tradition  has 
it)  by  a  jealous  husl>and  as  a  place  of  obser-

MiNSTEB :  Verger  v.  Sacristan  (11~S'. 
ii.  130). — A  verger  is  an  officer  appointed 
to  act  as  an  attendant  upon  an  archbiBhop 
or  other  great  dignitary  of  the  Church. 
He  walks  before  the  bishop  bcAring  a  small 
silver  wand,  or  crosa,  called  a  verge  ;  hence 
his  nanie  verger.  In  a  cathedral  or  collegiate 
church  the  verger  has  charee  of  the  build- 
ings and  their  contents,  as  the  sacristan  has 
in  a  parish  church,  and  he  usually  acts  as 
guide.  Henry  Beazajtt. 

Roundway,  Friem  BarneU 

The  verger  was  a  person  who  bore  the 
verge  (that  is,  rod  or  stafl)  before  a  magis- 
trate. **  Vergers,'*  according  to  an  old 
definition.  *'  go  before  their  deanes  with 
little  staves  tipped." 

The  sacristan,  on  the  other  hand,  was  nn 
officer  who  had  charge  of  the  vestments  and 
utensils  of  a  church  or  cathedral.  In  Western 
churches  the  sacristan  held  a  higher  rank 
than  he  held  in  the  East.  The  word  is  now 
contracted  into  sexton.  W.  S.  S. 

A  verger  [virgarius,  thirteenth  cent.)  has 
nothing  to  do  necessarily  with  a  sacristy. 
Ho  is  a  bedel  or  beadle — nothing  more.  I 
do  not  think  that  in  Catholic  churches  the 
offices  of  verger  and  sacristan  are  usually 
combined.  Habmatopkoos. 

Book-Covers  :  **  Yellow-Backs  "  (H  S. 
ii.  189,  237). — The  dates  given  are  some- 
what late — "  the  sLxties,''^  "  1862,"  and 
so  forth.  The  last  I  had  were  Grant's — 
*The  42nd  Highlanders,*  or  *  Black  Watch,' 
and,  I  think,  the  yellow-back  reprint  of  his 
*  The  Romance  of  War.'  These  were  surely 
of  *' the  fifties."  D. 

The  beginning  of  the  *'  yellow-backs " 
dates  from  a  somewhat  earlier  period  than 
indicated  by  any  of  the  replies  ante,  pp.  237-8. 
I  have  before  me  three  books,  issued  re- 
spectively by  Bohn,  Routledge,  and  Chap- 
man &  Hall,  all  three  being  of  the  **  yellow- 
back "  order,  and  all  bearing  the  date  1860. 
They  were  common  at  the  time  of  the 
Crim&aa    War.     KoutJedge,    I    think,    was 


at  first  the  principal  publisher.  In  cour»

Many  of  the  prominent  publishers  con-

of  the  reading  public.  The  works  of 
Disraeli,  issued  Dy  Longmans,  and  those  ol 
Biilwer  Lytton  by  Routledge,  appeared  u

out  some  of  Dickens  in  tnis  form.  The  novek 
of  Charles  Keade  and  Wiikie  Collins  caroe

later  period  novels  by  R.  D.  Biackniore, 
R.  L.  Stevenson,  and  Thomas  Hardy  ww» 
thus  issued.  It  is  customary,  no  doubt,  to 
sneer  at  these  "  yellow -backs."  They  were; 
howe\-er,  in  much  dejnand  for  many  yt 
and  contributed  not  a  little,  by  the  di 
of  good  literature  like  the  works  menti< 
above,  to  raise  the  standard  of  literan?  t 
throughout  the  country.  As  one  who 
derived  no  small  enjoyment  from  the  n( 
of  many  books  of  the  "  yellow-back  "  type^ 
I  feel  that  too  much  credit  cannot  be  pvoft 
to  the  enterprining  publishers  who  nsor*

I  believe  that  Artemus  Ward  speaks 
some    story    or    incident    being     "  thri]]

iatbpdark,  to  seek  for  clues  in  every  possible 
^Teeiion. 
In  noticing  the  fact  that  a  certain  type  of 
seems   to   have  been  associated   with 
akin  to  "  Denny,"  it  is  not,  of  course, 
a     moment    suggested     that,     because 
bear  similar  or  even  identical  names, 
are   necessarily    related.     But    having 
to  the  loose  spelling  of  former  ages 
from  misreadings.  such  as  "  Denys  " 
**  Denye,'*  and  vice  versa,  owing  to  the 
iblance  between  the  leriera  e,  «,  and  o  in

the  surnames  mentioned  may  have  had 
^common  oricin   with    "  Denny,"  or  even

probable  early  form  and  derivation  of  the

:iey. 
John  Dtjiny,  or  Denne,  M.A.,  Cambridge 
IjOB-U,  is  in  the  "Dniversity  Grace-Book. 


The  name  of  Sir  John  Deane  of  Great 
Maplcstcad,  Essex  (whoso  father,  of  a 
Lancashire  family,  purchased  Dyne's  or 
Dene's  Hall,  Great  Maplesteivd.  anciently 
the  seat  of  de  Denes,  apparently  of  the  house 
of  Dene  of  Northanta),  who  died  1626, 
appears  in  the  following  forms :  Deane, 
Denny,  Denney,  Denie.  Another  member 
of  this  family  was  admitted  to  Gray's  Inn  in 
1590  as  John  Denne. 

In  the  registers  of  St.  Mary  Wolnoth, 
London,  1681-1705.  the  name  of  William 
Denny,  the  ^joldsmith,  is  spelt  sometimes 
Denny  and   sometimes  Denne. 

There  are  some  various  readings  of  the 
second  quarter  in  the  Denny  coat  which 
ought  to  be  noticed,  though,  apparently, 
nothing  ever  appears  on  any  seal  or  monu- 
ment, as  evidence  of  actual  use,  but  Or,  a

gu.  between  three  choughs,  rnembered  and

If  the  last  versions  are  not  simply  errors, 
can  the  choughs  or  crows  have  been  mtended 
to  bo  ravetifl,  and  to  point  (as  has  lieen 
suggested  in  the  case  of  the  coat  of  Arch- 
bishop Dene,  &c  ),  to  a  Danish  origin  ? 
»SiiniIarly.  can  the  martlet-s  have  been  origin-

read, when  the  sij^ificance  of  the  use  of 
the  latter  birds  had  been  forgotten  ?  The 
bordure  is  probably  only  a  mark  of  cadency. 
Though  the  Denny  pedigree,  as  uniformly 
recorded  in  various  authorities,  seems  to 
contain  no  clue  to  the  solution  of  the  present 
problem,  it  may  be  well  to  give  the  earlier 
descents,  so  far  as  they  are  at  present 
believed  to  be  estabUahed,  as  a  basis  for  any 
further  investigations-

eldeat  daughter  of  Sir  George  Campbell 
uf  Edeuwood.  Fifeshire,  and  niece  of  Lord 
Chancellor  Campbell.  She  was  married  in 
1845  to  David  Jones,  Esq,,  of  PantgJas, 
M.P.  for  Carmarthenshire.  Her  husband 
(bom  in  1810)  succeeded  his  grandiathcr  in 
1840,  and  died  in  1869.  His  widow  married 
in  1870  Sir  Richard  George  Augustus  Le%'inge, 
Bt.,  of  CO.  Westnieath.  She  died  in  1871. 
Fussessed  of  literary  tastes,  she  wrote 
'  Scattered  Leaves'  in  1853,  and  *  Lott-ery  * 
in  1858. 

Previous  to  1846,  Mrs.  Jonca  of  Pantglaa

The  fern  (or  bracken)  waa  possibly  made 
iwe  of  as  fuel  for  tho  kiln.  Various  kinds 
of  fuel  were  used.  Peat  was  reckoned  the 
best,  then  turf,  and  if  neither  of  these  waa 
to  be  had,  charcoal  was  employed.  Pos- 
aibly  this  particular  maltdter  used  fern  in 
preference.  The  "  threshing  "  refers  to  tho 
barley.  John  Hodgkiji.

"Duritig  the  Ruiift^  of   Terror  :    JourtuU  of  mjf  Life 
(/uririi/  tiur  Frtnrh  Hcvolution.        By  Offtco  Dftl- 
ryinple     KUiutt.      With    tvn     Introduction    and 
Notes.     Translated    frtim    the    Ftvuch    by    E. 
Jules  Mdras.     (FisUor  Cnwin.) 
Tbr  Introduotiun  to  this  volumo  very  fairly  ex-

compiler  uiAHagt'il    to    rench,  though    It  is  cleAr

approciable  value." 

The  *  PrefacD  to  tho  First  Edition  '  follows,  but 
>wc  And  no  stAtumcat  as  to  when  that  edition 
appearo<l.  It  was.  we  think,  mon?  than  fifty 
years  since,  Tho  narrativu  was  worth  repro- 
ducing, for  it  avoids  that  mass  of  detail  wliich 
encumbers  most  accounts  of  the  Revolution,  and 

f:ivos  vivid  glimpsi^s  from  a  point  of  \iew  which 
a  fftirly  novel.  The  author  suffered  the  rigours 
of  prison  life  with  the  hurrorfl  of  death  all  round 
her.  and  Mr.  W.  P.  Courtney  has  recejitly  quoted 
(ariM.  p.  i;i!2  J  her  account  of  iipr  rehitions  with  Dr. 
G^m*  which  is  much  to  her  credit, 

Bho  hod  an  uarly  iuitiatloii  into  the  wild  ex- 
CRSses  of  the  crowd,  and  the  way  in  which  she 
returned  to  Paris  mure  than  nnce  for  the  sake  t»f 
lielping  her  friends  shows  extrnonlinRr>-  fr»rtitudo 
and  resolution.  The  whole  account  of  her  taking 
Chansencts  under  her  care ;  concealing  him 
between  the  mattrosses  of  her  bed  while  she 
occupied  it  hemelf  and  the  Boldien*  viwited  her 
room  to  discover  him  ;  keeping  him  locked  in 
this  room  beyond  the  sight  of  her  cook,  who  was 
an  advanced  cUoyentie ;  and  Anally  getting  him 
<mt  of  Paris,  is  striking.  Without  her  help  he 
wituld  have  been  taken  a  dojiim  limes,  and.  accord- 
ing t<t  Uii*  account  she  givi-a,  fihe  left  th**  retire- 
ment cif  Meudon  for  the  dancers  of  Paris  l>ecau»o 
she  received  a  note  from  a  friend  entreating  her 
to  come  thither,  as  she  might  he  of  use  t4)  an  un- 
happy person. 

To  Mrs.  Elliott's  manuscript  aro  added  a  few 
notes  concerning  her  subsequent  career.  She 
shared  her  captivity  latterly  with  tw<i  notable 
women  —  "  Madame  Beauhamais,  afterwards 
Ifadamo  Bonaparte,"  and  Madame  de  Fontenaye. 
«ubscquent]y  Madame  Tallien.  All  tiiree  only 
escaped  death  tlirough  the  fall  of  Robesjiierre.

Wb  quote  the  title  ff  thiR  hook  at  length,  because 
3t  explains  sufficiently  the  purp'jst*  of  the  volume. 
It  solves  many  of  those  difflculties  which  the  new 
reader  of    the   recfinls   of    the   pjkst   finds   nlmoAt 
hopeless,  even  if  he  ha*  a  gor>d  training  in  hi«h»r>- 
and  I«atln.     It  could  not  have  lieen  written  with- 


things  are  still  to  be  discovered  was  sliown  by  tb« 
recent  publication  in  The  Timet  of  Dr.  C.  W. 
Wallace's  find  concerning  Shaktjspeare'a  lodging 
with  the  Motmtjoy*. 

Tile  cont«*nt*  includi*  al>l>n'vifttions  both  of 
Latin  ami  Fn-nrli  unrds  ;  a  CJlostutry  of  lAtin 
words  not  (^>ccurring  in  claasical  authors,  an  excep- 
tionally valuable  section,  since  the  work  of 
Uacange  is  far  from  exhaustive  ;  four  chapters 
on  Latin  place-names  and  sites  of  bishoprics ; 
'  Latin  Forms  of  English  Sumamea,*  oft«n  en 
ingenious  as  to  defv  the  Intelligent  searcher — 
thus  "  De  alta  ripa  '  is  Hawtrey  ;  and  L^tin 
rhristian  names  with  Rnglinh  equivalents,  a 
section  which  all  scholars  of  any  note  will  nrcrigaixe 
as  full  ot  fanciful  etyznoKigy.  Thus  the  tiumame 
"  Do  Parva  Villa  "  moans  "  Littleton."  To  this 
section  belongs  that  ingenious  rendcHng  of 
Parkinson's  e«rly  )>ook  of  llowtrs  and  herba  which 
runs  "  Paradisi  in  sole  Paradisus  terrrstria." 
"  Parvisa  "  Is  noted  in  the  Latin  Glossary  as 
"  perhaps  a  corruption  of  *  Paradisus.'  "  Should 
not  this  last  word  also  figure  in  the  Glossary .' 
The  chief  difliculty  about  Latin  abbreviatioiu 
is  that,  especially  in  Hingle  letters,  one  symlfil 
may  mean  more  than  one  thing.  Thus  the  symbol 
"F"  is  glossed  in  no  fewer  than  twenty-nin* 
different  ways. 

The  information  is  set  out  with  admirable  clear- 
ness, and.  we  hope,  will  be  added  to  by  other 
sciiolars,  so  that  the  next  t*dition  may  he  fuller 
still.  Our  own  columns  from  time  to  tlmr 
have  been  occupitd  with  various  queries  and 
answers  concerning  special  terms.  The  tnlitor 
fltiggests  that  additions  are  desirable  ;  we  think 
it  would  have  been  well  to  ask  for  them,  »•  «« 
have  hinted  just  abctve.

soocesiful  attempt  to  naturalize 

in    Kagl&nd,    impressed    a    great 

or  like  Madame  du  Deffand.     In 

ahv  write*  to  Horace  Walpole : —

So  local  was  the  fame  of  the  *  Essay  on 
Shakespeare  '  ! 

Then  a  little  later  : — 

*'  La  dame  Of  Montagu  ne  me  d^lait  puint,  ea 
conversation  e*i  ptinible  pHrct*  qa'elle  parle 
difiiriicmpnt  noire  langtii?  ;  cllc  est  \rH  polie,  et

"  quelqnes  peries  *']  qui$  *  ce  foniler  n^avajt  pas 
8er\-i  a  fcrtiliafr  aa  t^rre."  " 

The  ordinary  version  of  Mrs.  Montagu's 
mot  is  that  she  said  the  "  fumier  a  fertiliti^ 
line  terre  bien  ingrate." 

Madame  du  Deffand  also  describes  how 
she  went  to  one  of  the  excellent  8upi>ers 
(the  old  lady  was  a  terrible  eoiinnet)  wnicli 
Mra.  Montagu  gave  at  a  house  she  had 
hired  at  ChaiUot.  '  *  C*est  une  f enin.e 
raiaonnable,"  she  writes,  ^'ennuyeuse  sans 
douto,  inais  bonne  fenime  ot  tr^s  polio.'* 

On  returning  to  England,  Mrs.  Montagu 
wrote  filadaine  du  Deffand  the  foilowing 
letter.  It  was  dated  10  May,  1777.  but 
never  reiiohed  her  till  15  November,  thanks 
to  the  dilatorinees  of  the  gentleman  ro 
whom  it  had  been  entrusted.  It  is  interest- 
ing as  a  specimen  of  31x8.  Montagu's  French 
style ; —

Madame  du  Deffand  sends  a  characteristic 
reply,  complimenting  her  duly  on  her  Essay 
and  her  three  *  Dialogues  of  the  Dead.'

CARDONTCEL'S  'PICTURESQUE  ANTI-

THifi  book  offers  the  bibhographer  some 
hard  nuU  to  crack.  Lowndes  says  :  **  Load. 
1788-93.  Svo,  4  pta.  100  plates";  but 
thwe  were  quarto  editions  and  at  leant 
103  plates.  Collation  is  difficult,  as  the 
Icavos  with  platee  and  descriptionB  com- 
bined have  neither  pacination  nor  signaturee, 
and  no  list  is  suppbed. 

I  have  lying  before  me  three  distinct

HORSES'  NAMES:  ANCIENT. 
In  the  introduction  to  my  list  of  modem 
nafnes  of  horsee  {arUe,  p.  124)  I  promised 
a  list  of  ancient  names,  but  the  names  of 
legendary  and  historic  horses  are  not  in- 
cluded. Dr.  Brewer  has  given  a  catalogue 
of  such  names  in  *  Phrase  and  Fable,*  1895, 
pp.  624-7. 

Some  words  originally  denoting  the  colours 
became  afterwards  conunon  names  of  horses; 
others  indicated  their  work.  Much  intereet- 
ing  information  ia  afforded  by  the  '  N.E.D.' 
under  **  bavard,"  '*  hausond,"  *' dobbin,*' 
^ferraimt,"  "grizzle."  "hobby,"  "  lyard," 
"morel"  and  "paUrey."  On  "  baj*ard  "

Wabps:  theib  Present  Scabcitv.— One 
■  of  my  earliest  contributions  to  '  N.  &  Q.'  was 
on  the  scarcity  of  wasps  in  1865  (3  fcJ.  viii. 
297).  This  scarcity  was  widely  noticed. 
and  8e\'eral  writers  gave  their  opinions 
ooQoerning  the  cause.  The  same  thing  is 
ob«ervAble  this  year.     I  have  seen  only  one 

I  wasp,  and  it  was  semi-torpid.  Last  year 
they  were  almost  a  plague.  Plums  also  are 
Karce,  but  ants,  earwigs,  gnats,  midges, 
Xooths.  and  spiders  have  been  plentiful.

Mu^.  Pamela 


HER  Obigdt. — I  find  the 
following  interestrnfl;,  and  obviously  inspired 
Btateinent    concerning    '■  Pamela  '*    in    The 
\6tncral    Ewning  Post    (London),   Jan.    1-3, 
TOS,   a  few  months  after   her  marriage  to 
)rd  Edward  Pit zpera Id.     ShesattoRomney 
1792  (see  W'urd  and  Koberts's  *Romney  : 
At&logiie    Kaisonnd/     p.     117).       I    think 
stiitement,   whatever   its  merits   as  an 
•ical    document,    well    worth    rescuing 
the  columns  of  a  little-known  news- 
ipear: — 

We  have  to  oontradict  the  opinion,  generally 
prcd  in  England  and  France,  that  this  lady  is 
related  to  the  ci-(U>-ant  ]>uke  of  OrleanB. 
^eircnni stances  which  refute  it  are  these : 
It  WAS  jmrt  of  tho  excellent  plan,  laid  down  by 
[ftdAme  (■enliNf  for  the  education  of  the  yoaiiK 
inoeas  of  Orleanit,  that  sho  »tmuld  have  surae 
person  to  nhare  with  her  the  advantAKea  of 
>,  that  80  emulation  mi^bt  he  oxoitod,  and 
ihilB  of  society  be  rendere<l  familiar,  hy  the 
enierience.  In  a  little  ^illAKe  between 
church  and  Southamntou,  ahc  woa  detained, 
l1  years  since,  by  aoaiaent.  for  one  night ;  and 
»  there,  that,  from  aome  otrcnmNtance,  not 
atateu,  she  was  induced  to  adopt  a  beautiful 
,of  very  jKX>r  [tarentu,  for  the  puriJOBB  of  this 
itary  assistance  in  her  plan  of  education. 
"  Th«  Duchess  vf  Orleans  was  then  not  sc}>arat«>d 
JlOTO  Ibc  Duke,  or,  at  leaat,  not  so  far  but  that  thov 
(erred  tof;ethor  on  the  education  of  their  ohil- 
8he  received  the  ohild  with  fouduesa  equal 
of  Madame  GenliH,  and  gave  her  the  name 
lela.  Why  it  was  always  hinted  that  this 
relatecT  to  M.  D'Orleans,  is  not  told  ;  but 
be  depended  u]«n  that  Pamela  wjis  legiti-

Catchpenny." — In  the  '  Life  and  Times 
James   Catnach,'    by    Charles   Hiiidley 
■as  4  Turner.  1878),  p.  149,  the  follow- 
paragraph  occurs ; — 

Catnach  cleared  over  500/.  by  this  event  [i.t,, 

It  execution  of  Thurtell  for  the  murder  of  \yiliiftm 

'eansl        and  fw  about  a  tortni^ht  after  Thurtell 

«A*  luLUged,  Jemmy  brought  out  a  startling  broad- 


sheet, headed,  'we are  alive  aoais!'  Ho  put  bo 
little  siJAOc  between  the  words  '  we '  and  *  are '  that  it 
lookedat  tirst  aight  like  '  wkake.'  Many  thousanda 
were  bought  by  tho  ignorant  and  .^Uible  imblic, 
bat  thoBO  who  did  not  like  the  trick  called  it  a 
'catch  Twnny.'and  this  Rave  rise  to  the  jwculiar 
term,  wnioh  was  afterwame  stuck  to  the  issues  of 
the  Seven  Dials'  Press." 

The  use  of  the  word  "  catchpenny,"  as 
applied  to  street  literatiu-e,  may  be  traced 
long  before  the  times  of  Jemmy  Catnach, 
and  it  did  not  originate  with  Thurteir» 
execution  in  1824. 

Writing  to  Lord  Carlisle  on  4  July,  1760, 
George  8elwyn  observes  : — 

*'If  anythiuR  ia  published  that  is  not  a  mere 
oatch-penny,  as  it  is  called,  1  nball  send  it  directly. 
I  believe  that  the  account  of  the  Dfuke]  of  ( ;iraftonj 
and  Nancy  rParsons]  is  of  that  sort,  but  1  know  no 
more  than  the  advertisement."— Hist.  MSS.Conun.,. 
Fifteenth  Report,  Appx.  Part  VI.  p.  24S. 

I  have  noticed  a  similar  use  of  the  word 
in  the  newspapers  during  the  latter  half  ot 
tho  eighteenth  century. 

Horace  Bleacklev. 

fThe  earliest  instance  of  the  word  as  a  snbatantive 
recorded  in  the  '  N.K.D.'  is  1760.  but  the  first  quo- 
tation for  the  adjectival  use,  "one  of  those  caioh- 
jwnny  subscription  works,"  shows  that  the  word 
was  already  familiar  in  17A9.] 

**  Catching  the  Speaker's  eye."  (See 
8  S.  ix.  208,  338  ;  9  S.  iii.  211.)—  A  curious 
addition  can  bo  made  to  the  notes  on  this 
Biibject  hy  the  following  jmragraph  from 
The  Globe  of  2  August,  reporting  the  jiro- 
cwdinga  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Hearts 
of  Oak  Benefit  Society,  held  in  London  : — 

"  Mr,  Weatcattmovod  '  that  the  usual  practice 
of  tho  President  catching  thp  spuakfr's  eyo  be 
adopted,  aud  the  present  method  of  liaiading  up 
namtw  of  the  speaki^rs  be  discontinued.'  This 
motion  Ifd  l-*'  »  pniK<nged  debate-,  nnd  on  being  put 
to  the  vote  WA«  defeated  by  70  votes  to  71." 

This  seems  an  inversion  of  the  accepted 
meaning  of  the  phrase,  but  it  ahould  be 
read  in  conjunction  with  the  extract  I  gave 
at  9  S.  iii.  211  from  The  Monthly  Magazine 
for  1798.  Alfred  F.  RosBUiS. 

Shorthand  Teacher  in  a.d.  155.  — 
Amongst  the  manuscripts  found  at  Oxy- 
rhynchus,  and  edited  by  Oronfnll  and  Hunt, 
is  a  papyrus  {No.  724)  dated  in  the  eighteenth 
year  of  the  Emperor  Titus,  which  has  con- 
siderable interest  for  stenoRraphera.  It  is  a 
document  by  which  Panechotes,  also  called 
Panares,  an  ex-cosmetes  of  Oxyrhynchus. 
apprentices  his  slave  to  Apollonius.  a 
teacher  of  shorthand.  The  boy  Chieranm^on 
was  to  remain  two  years  as  a  pupil  if  the 
teacher  desired  to   retain   him.     The   pay-

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


ment  for  instruction  was  1 20  silver  drachmscK 
payable  in  three  instabnents :  the  first  at 
tho  beginning,  thy  second  when  the  boy  has 
learnt  tho  whole  system,  and  the  third  and 
List  whem  ho  writes  faultlessly  and  reads 
fluently.  The  namo  of  this  teacher  of  short- 
hand of  the  year  a-d.  165  was  ApoUonius, 
and  the  slave  boy  was  to  be  taught  tlie 
oharacters  which  were  known  to  Dionysiiia. 
tho  son  of  the  teacher.  If  the  slave  boy  learnt 
in  less  than  two  years,  the  owner  agreed  not 
to  insist  on  further  tuition. 

It  is  worth  noting  that  in  a  document 
of  A.D.  183  the  term  of  apprenticeship  to 
weaving  was  five  years ;  but  as  in  a  similar 
deed  of  a.d.  66  the  term  is  for  one  year  only, 
it  is  not  easy  to  see  what  was  the  rule  as  to 
the  length  of  apprenticeship.

Eably  PiimTiNO  ui  Bohemia. — In  their

*'  Pelt  "  :  its  EARiiV  Meanings. — What- 
ever  the  meaning  or  sif^iiticancG  of  "pelf" 
may  have  been  in  Puttonham's  time  (see 
Mr.  Crawford's  remarks,  ante,  p.  183),  it 
had  quite  another  in  Chealiire  in  the  thir- 
teenth and  fourteenth  centuries.  It  then 
signified  the  proportion  of  the  goods  and 
cluittelfi  of  felons,  outlaws,  t&c.  allowed 
to  the  Serjeants  and  bedells  of  the  peace  as  a 
perquisite  of  office  and  stimulus  to  activity. 
Cheshire  records  indicate  that  imder  the 
title  of  "pelf  "  or  "  pilfre  "  the  guardians  of 
the  peace  took  the  felon's  best  beast»  all 
wooden  vessels,  linen  and  woollen  cloths, 
one  quarter  of  his  threshed  corn,  and  in 
some  cases  his  money  if  it  did  not  exceed 
one  hundred  shillings  ;  but  nothing  made 
or  bound  with  iron,  which  went,  with  tho 
residue  of  the  felon's  goods,  to  the  Karl  of 
Chester.  See  '  The  Wapentake  of  Wirral.*

"Who  was  voub  nigger  last  yeax?" 
— An  American  boy,  when  told  to  do  some- 
thing by  a  person  whose  authority  he  did 
not  recognize,  was  apt  to  reply,  "  Who  waa 
your  nigger  last  year  ?  "  This  saying  dis- 
appeared after  emancipation.

Ireland,  "All  right.  McCarthy."  But  it

David  Oabbick  in  Fbance.  —  David 
^^Oarrick,  when  in  France  at  the  end  of 
^■1763,  kept,  during  a  short  time,  a  Journal 
HBf  his  movcmonts.  This  is  quoted  from  in 
■I'itzgerald'a  'Life  of  Gairick '  (1868).  Mr. 
™  Fitzgerald  having  forgotten  the  whereabouts 
of  tois  document,  1  should  he  glad  if  any 
reader  could  tell  me  where  it  is  at  present. 

I  should  be  glad,  too,  of  the  indication  of 
any  sources  of  information  as  to  Garrick's 
visit  to  France  in  1761. 

Garrick  had  many  French  friends,  and 
aunt  have  written  at  least  200  letters  to 
people  in  France.  Few  of  theae  are  pre- 
«er\'^ed  in  the  Boaden  *  Correspondanee,  or 
ID  the  Forater  Collection,  or  in  the  additional 
ietters  belonging  to  Mr.  Leigh,  and  pub- 
Ushed  by  Mr.  G.  P.  Baker.  One  would 
imagine  that  the  letters  of  a  man  of  such  a 
wide  reputation  would  have  been  preserved. 
My  reaoarches  in  Franco  havo  so  far  been 
very  imsuoceaaful.     Could   any  reiser  indi-

LiNCOLNiSHiRE  ELECTION,  1 724. — In  Janu- 
ary, 1724,  an  election  took  place  at  Lincoln 
in' consequeiice  of  the  death  of  Sir  William 
Massingberd,  who  was  a  Tory.  The  candi- 
dates were  Sir  Neville  Hickman  and  Robert 
Viner,  The  former  of  theae  was  the  Tory 
candidate,  the  latter  a  Whig.  There  can  be 
no  doubt  that  in  those  days  a  large  majority 
of  the  Lincolnshire  freeholders  were  Tories, 
ao  that  Hickman  would  have  been  victorious 
by  a  large  majority  had  he  acted  with  dis- 
cretion; he,  however,  signally  failed  to  do 
so-  The  "Tory  party  dined  at  **  The  Angel/* 
an  old  inn  which  has  long  ceased  to  exist. 
There  was  a  crowded  gathering,  and  the 
wine  passed  very  freely  ;  Hickman,  after 
the  manner  of  those  days,  took,  it  is  said, 
far  too  much  stimulant.  However  this  may 
have  been,  the  excitement  was  so  great 
that  at  last  he  fell  on  his  bare  knees  and 
drank  the  health  of  "the  King  over  the 
water  "  amid  the  clamorous  applause  of  the 
greater  part  of  those  present.  The  result 
of  this  wild  folly  was  that  a  very  large 
number  of  those  who  came  to  Lincoln  for 
the  purpose  of  supporting  Hickman  dared  not 
venture  to  do  this,  but  registered  their 
votes  for  Viner,  who  won  the  contest  by 
1 78.  My  ancestor  Thomas  Peacock  of 
Scotter  and  hia  relative  of  the  same  name 
were  both  Jacobites  who  would  on  no 
accoimt  give  way,  but  registered  their  votes 
for  Hickman. 

I  am  not  aware  of  any  printed  document 
of  the  time  recording  what  happened,  but 
there  are  several  letters  concerning  it  in 
The  Lincoln,  HxUland,  and  Stamford  Mercury 
for  11  and  18  June,  1858.  It  is,  however, 
probable  that  reports  of  what  had  occurred 
would  be  at  once  forwarded  to  the  BritisJi 
Government,  and  may  have  found  their 
way  into  some  of  tho  then  existing  London 
newspapers.  Can  anytliing  relating  to  this 
election  be  discovered  therein  or  elsewhere  7 
If  so,  it  is  much  to  be  desired  that  it  should 
be  made  public.  Edward  Peacock.

GUL8T0N   ADDISON'S   DEATH   AT 

MADRAS. 

(U  S.  iL  101,  210,  256.) 

The  letter  to  Lancelot  Addison  which  I 
i)riiated  at  p.  210  shows  that  he  arrived  in 
Madras  after  the  deaths  of  his  brother  and 
sister-in-law.  He  was  there  in  July,  1710, 
AS  the  following  promissory  note  proves  : — 

Kgerton  MS.  1971,  fo.  9. 

Fort  St.  tJeorjw 

July  aO"'  1710 
I  PromiM  to  pay  unto  M'  Lancelot  Arldison  tho 
ram'e  of  tivo  T>uunii«  of  LawfuU  mouey  o(  Great 
Britain  w**'IackDOwledne  to  have  borrowed  of  hini 
io  wjltnem  whereof  I  bertiunto  Sett  my  baud  tlie 
day  and  date  above  nientiuiied.  U.  Waiitp. 

It  seems  doubtful  whether  his  death 
occurrefl  in  1710,  as  stated  at  p.  103,  as  a 
letter  from  Bernard  Benyon  to  Joseph 
Addiaon,  dated  Fort  St.  George.  15  August. 
1711,  mentions  the  death  of  Edward  Fleet- 
wood (16  February,  1710/11),  who  left  his 
wife  sole  executrix, 

'*who  tho  Bhe  is  a  very  good  woman,  is  not  a 
I>roper  perBon  to  give  me  aoe  gocwl  intelli»^*ence  of 
what  her  huBhand  bad  done  lu  this  ofioiro   .as  I 

expect *' 

Ho  adds  in  a  postscript  that  ho  had 
*' allmcMt  forgot  to  advise  you  of  thu  death  of  yo' 
Brother  Lancelot.  1  believe  it  would  not  be  iin- 
prop'  that  you  aend  out  letters  of  admiiuatratioti 
to  recovt^r  w*  was  b«|neath'd  him  by  Mttd»»"  Addi- 
son, in  the  meantime  I  shall  Atop  it  here  whcti  we 
pay  her  I^cgaoya."— Etj;erton  MS.  1972,  fo«.  45;7. 

The  inference  is  that  Lancelot's  death 
occiu-red  early  in  August.  1711. 

Mr.  Heade  has  noted  (p.  103}  Joseph 
Addison*s  vexation  at  the  mismanagement 
of  Gulston  Addison's  estate ;  it  found 
expression  in  the  following  letters.  They 
bear  no  address,  but  internal  evidence,  and 
the  fact  that  Edward  Harrison,  Governor 
from  11  July.  1711,  of  Fort  St.  George,  hod 
been  appointed  Addison's  attorney  on  or 
about  22  January.  1710/11,  show  that  they 
are  copies  of  letters  addressed  to  him. 
Benyon  and  the  Rev.  [George]  Lewis  were 
to  act  in  case  of  Harrison's  death  [Egerton 
MS.  1972,  fos.  19/20.  38,  41}.

should  come  iu  for  a  proportionable  Divitiend  with 
themselves,  w<^  may  possibly  be  brought  alwut  by

By  your  last  letters  from  India  I  have  received

226). — I  do  not  think  that  '*  smouch  "  as  a 
contemptuous  term  for  a  Jew  is  connected 
with  der  Schmils,  Yiddish  for  talk,  and 
ffcAmiJ«cn,  to  talk  (that  it  is  used  in  the  sense 
of  to  haggle,  to  chaffer.  I  have  never  heard, 
and  I  doubt  it).  Probably  "  smouch  "  ia 
om"  corresponding  nickname  maitscJiel^  of 
which  an  older  form  is  MawtcJic^  Mdeche, 
and  this  is  nothing  but  the  Yiddish  pronun- 
ciation of  Moses.  A  derivative  is  the 
verb  mauschdn,  to  speak  with  a  Jewish 
accent.  Tlie  addition  of  *  to  the  Yiddish 
word  may  be  accounted  for  in  various  ways,

Though  I  agrw  with  Mr.  Mavukw  that 
'*  antoucn "  or  "  f5moua "  is  of  Hebrew 
origin*  and  idonticnl  with  the  German 
Schmiia,  I  must  differ  from  him  wlion  he 
considers  ''sinous*'  "evidently  due  to  the 
German  Schjmnf.^*  I  am  inclined  to  think 
that  it  foimd  its  way  into  English  from  the 
Netherlands,  where  Stnoits,  spelt  and  pro- 
ninmced  like  the  Suffolk  word,  is  still  a  very 
common  nickname  for* a  Jew.  I  have  never 
come  across  it  as  a  proper  name.  The  word 
is  also  very  common  in  the  compound 
mnouahond,  i.e.,  a  kind  of  dog  (kept  by  Jewish 
butchers  t). 

I  have  also  seen  the  English  word  ^elt 
•*  smoutch  "^  and  *'  smouae."  In  East 
Frisian  the  word  ia  smaxis,      J.  F.  Bense. 

Arnhem. 

Mb.  M.WTUiJW  is  correct  izi  his  derivation  ; 
but  I  differ  in  reepect  of  the  application. 
*'  Schmoosing.'*  as  a  Yiddish  expreasion, 
means  "gossiping,"  and  of  a  kind  which 
is  a  trifle  apicy  or  scandalous.  Jews  natur- 
ally, with  their  thousands  of  years  of  social 
life,  have  accumulated  a  special  literature 
of  the  kind,  unvvritien,  and  merely  existing 
in  the  memories  of  certain  brilliant  raconteurs 
of  these  "  liilea "  or  "  schmusen,*'  Mr. 
Ma^'HEW  has  therefore  more  warranty  in 
tracing  its  root  to  Hebrew  than  to  German 
sources.  *'  Smouoh  "  wotJd  be  a  travelling 
*'  yarner  " — in  two  senses. 

M.  L.  R.  Brcslab. 

Hotten's  *  Slang  Dictionary  *  has  "Mmtchy, 
"  Is  this  an  attrite  form  of  the  term  1 
the  Atlantic  **  to  smouch  '^  is  to 
crib  or  to  get  by  stealth.  "  To  mooch  "  is 
closaod  by  Hotten  as  to  sponge-,  and  **  mooch- 
ing/' or  "on  the  mooch,"  as  being  "on  the 
look-out  for  any  articles  or  circumstances 
which  may  bo  turned  to  a  profitable  account; 
watching  in  the  streets  for  odd  jobs,  horses 
to  hold,  &c.  ;  also,  scraps  of  food,  old  clothes, 
Ac."  Cliristian  amenity  would  not  hesitate 
to  use  this  material  for  naming  a  Jew. 
Information  under  "mooch'*  and  "moocher" 
is  naturally  found  in  the  '  H.E.n.'  Bailey 
^ivea  "  To  MoucK  to  eat  up,  O.** — the  O*

"  Miss  Mowcher's  "  name  {'  David  Copper- 
field*)  occurs  to  me  in  connexion  with  Mb. 
MayheVs  inquiry.  St.  Hwithin. 

It  occurs  to  me  that  there  may  be  some 
relationship  between  "  amouch,  as  used 
in  '  Ingoldsby,'  and  the  slang  verb  "  to 
smouch,"  meaning  to  pilfer,  to  steal.  Mark 
Twain  has  c^everul  instances  of  this  in 
'Huckleberry    Finn,'    e.g.,    cha\>.    xxxv. 


"So  I  Ml  mosey  along  and  smouch  a  coupto 
of  case-knives."  Lionel  Monckton, 

69,  Russell  S<iuare,  W.C. 

Of  the  etymology  of  "  smouch "  or 
"  smous "  I  know  nothing ;  but  I  cau 
vouch  for  the  fact  that  for  many  years  past 
in  South  .Africa  the  itinerant  ptxilar  (almcft 
invariably  a  Polish  Jew)  has  been  kno 
a  "  anauB."  He  used  to  wander 
hundreds  of  miles  afoot  (before  the 
of  railways)  from  one  Boer  farrn-ho 
another,  vending  women's  wearing  a] 
and  an  Autolycus  collection  of  oddinenta. 
Whether  he  survives  to  this  day  I  know  not. 

In  connexion  with  this  it  is  curious  to 
note  that  these  long-hairod,  caftan-barbed 
Polish  Jews  were  jwjjularly  known*  m  thfr 
Cape  Colony  and  the  Transvaal,  as  "Peru- 
viana"— not  because  they  had  any  connexioa 
with  South  America,  but  for  the  reason  that 
(so  it  was  alleged)  an  old  name  for  Polaiid 
was  Pcruvia.  Is  there  any  solid  foundatuia 
for  this  7  Frank  Schix^csseb,

KiPLINO     AJfD     THE     SWASTIKA     (11     S.    H.

If  we  may  assume  that  Mr.  Kipling  hnh' 
self  designed  the  stamp  on  the  cover  of  lii» 
books  and  the  device  which  faces  their

They  were  all  pulled  down  some  years  ago. 
The  church  was  built  with  the  altar  towards 
the  Xorth.  This,  I  beliovo,  is  very  un- 
conuuon  in  Anglican  churches,  though  I 
behevo  Roiuan  Catholic  churches,  both  here 
and  on  the  Continent,  are  often  unorientated.

The  Daily  Telegraph  was  quite  right  in 
stating  that  ""  Trinity  Chapel  was  pulled 
down  within  the  memory  of  all  of  us,^^  for 
although  the  French  fimbassy  does  not 
occupy  the  actual  site  of  Trinity  Chapel. 
Knightabridge,  the  chapel  has  been  pulled 
down.  Wlien  the  Embassy  was  enlarged 
in  1S98,  the  building  was  separated  from  the 
chapel  by  a  narrow  alley,  and  its  wall  had 
to  be  built  with  white  materials,  so  as  not 
to  darken  the  little  chapeU  the  windows  of 
which  opened  ou  the  alley.  The  chapel  was 
pulled  down  in  1904,  and  flats  erected  on  its 
site.  No  fresh  chapel,  so  far  as  I  can  learn, 
has  been  erected  near  it  since.  I  am  still 
seeking  further  information. 

In  reference  to  Mr,  Cecil  Clarke's  query 
as  to  Grosvenor  Chapel,  the  Rev.  Ewart 
Barter  courteously  informs  me  that

on  board  the  Avenger  when  she  sailed

Charles  Bere :  naval  cadets,  J.  B.  Hey-

**  BcuPPKR  "  (1 1  S.  ii.  207). — I  was  serving 
in  IndiA  in  the  earlj'  eighties  of  the  last 
century  when  this  word  caine  into  use.  My 
recollre^tion  of  it  is  that  it  was  merely  a  slang 
word  uivented  by  soldiers.  ITiis  recollection 
was  confirmed  a  few  da-ys  ago  by  an  old 
soldier.  He  told  me  that  it  was  a  common 
expression  in  his  time  on  board  the  trans- 

Eorts.  In  rough  woathor  it  sometimes 
apponed  that  the  men  were  hurled  acrosa 
the  deck,  and  deposited,  somotinieg  with 
considerable  injurj'.  in  the  lee  scuppers  ; 
and  in  common  parUvnce  they  were  saitl  to 
be  scuppered.  Students  of  slang  will  under- 
stand how  the  word  may  have  been  trans- 
ferreti  from  its  use  as  a  means  of  injury  to  an 
injury  iteelf  apart  from  the  menns.  This 
is  only  suggested  as  a  probable  solution. 

Frank  Penny. 

The  oriffin  and  signification  of  the  verb 
'*  scupper  are  purely  maritime.  A  ship's 
decks  slope  slightly  from  their  centre  towards 
the  scuppers  (strictly,  the  gutters),  wliieh 
run  fore  and  aft  along  each  side  of  the  decks. 
The  eocpression  *'  ho  was  soon  scuppered  '' 
would,  therefore,  imply  that  during  a  fight 
on  board  ship  a  man  had  rolkxl  into  the 
scuppers.  The  Press  seems  to  have  em- 
ployed this  word  malapropos.  For  instance, 
it  is  absurd  to  ^Tite  of  people  In  bed  as 
having  been  "scuppered  ;  or  to  say  that 
Tonuuy  Atkins  st«H>d  a  good  chance  of 
being  **  scuppered "  within  the  lines  of 
Suakim.  As  to  The  Daiiy  Neufs  with  its 
"  scuppering  surprise.'*  the  less  said  the 
better.  Richard  Edocumbk. 

Moranrrhof^  Meran. 

The  verb  "  to  scupper "  has  perhaps 
Ijoen  formed  in  imitation  of  the  better- 
kno\m  verb  *'  to  poop."  Apparently  the 
meaning  is  *'  to  remove  superfluous  humanity 
out  of  some  position  where  their  presence  is 
not  neoded,  just  as  water  is  removed  tlirough 
the  scuppers  from  the  deck  of  a  ship.'*

Trecothick  (who  died  28  May,  1775)  in  St. 
Mary's  Chiu-cli,  Addington.  near  Croydon, 
may  give  the  name  of  his  birthplace.  The 
obituary  notices  in  cont^ninorary  newspapers 
might  also  throw  some  hgnt  upon  his  origin. 
T/m*  Orritlemnn'it  Magazine  and  Th4i  Town

self, baMd  on  literary  and  artistic  grounds,  is 
depicted  with  a  few  telung  touchos.  Mr.  Louuard's 
name  b  new  to  us.  and.  if  ho  has  not  already 
attained  success  In  fiction,  it  seems  within  his 
reach. 

Trr  editorial  artlclea  In  The  Burlinqton  deal 
judiciously  with  the  National  Gallery  and  Holman 
Hunt.  It  is  pointed  out  that  the  ordinary  public 
which  visits  the  Gallery  is  confused  by  mis- 
leading labels  which  represent  exploded  opinions. 
Mr.  hirmel  Onst's  *  Notes  on  Pictures  in  the

ITymana  haa  pubHshed  this  year,  and  which 
promises  to  be  ii  statidard  work  for  some  time  to 
come.  Moro  painted  at  least  five  portraits  of 
.Sir  Thomas  Gresham,  founder  of  the  Rovai 
Exchange.  Mr.  G.  F.  Hill's  '  Xotea  on  Italian

Brock  has  astrikuig  article  on  '  The  Weakness  and 
Strength  of  Turner  '  ;  and  JI.  Sej-mour  de  Ricci 
discusses  vario^w  pictures  by  Francesco  Napoli- 
tano,  a  North  Italian  artist  who  was  not  great,  hut 
has  a  curious  int-ere^t  at  an  ob%-ious  follower  oF 
Leonardo.  The  illustrations  of  his  pictures 
show  this  fnfiuonco  clearly.  51.  Friedrich  Per* 
cynski  begins  a  learned  and  well  "  documented  " 
dissertation,  '  Towards  a  Gniuping  of  Chinese

notices  *  An  Early  Dutch  Woodcut  of  St.  Christo-

shows,  most  picturesque  in  detail.  A  medisval 
chasofde  recently  restored  to  the  church  of  St. 
Peter,  Barnstaple,  is  also  figured  and  described. 
In  the  notes  on  '  Art  in  Germany  *  it  is  said

ment at  Londrm  :  who  caused  them  to  be  hung  \ip

It  appears  from  compnrinf^  both  the«e 
accounts  that  the  Kngliah  Inna  wba  aljout 
300  (by  loss  evidently,  1  think,  is  nioant  the 
number  of  killed  :  Major  Rokesby  is  men- 
tioned as  having  been  wounded,  but  then 
he  shortly  after  died  of  his  wounds).  I 
cannot  say  whether  one  account  hiis  been 
copied  from  the  other,  but  I  aliould  hardly 
thmk  so  because  the  number  of  killed  and 
prisoners  differs  in  the  two  accounts.  If  I 
remember  right,  Carlyle,  in  a  note  to  his 
accoimt  of  Dunbar  ficht,  puts  the  query 
whether  Fleetwood  was  present.  It  will  be 
seen  from  the  second  account  (Henry 
Fletcher's  ;  his  name.  I>y  the  way,  is  not  on 
the  title-page)  that  Fleetwood  was  present. 
The  accounts,  it  may  be  noted,  agree  in 
ftdmittinp  the  stiffness  of  the  contest.  Heath 
Bays  **  much  iralkntry  and  bravery  being 
shewed  on  both  sides."  The  number  of  men 
engaged  and  the  natiire  of  the  fighting  clearly 
prove  the  estimate  of  from  twenty  to  thirtj' 
English  killed  to  be  positively  ludicrous. 
Crotnw^U  in  a  letter  after  the  battle  put  the 
anmber  at  not  above  twenty,  ii  1  xemembet 


right.  Elsewhere  I  have  seen  it  mentioned 
as  l>oing  up  to  thirty.  Cromwell  made  the 
statement,  doubtless,  for  political  reasoiu. 
Serious  historians  however,  appear  to  have 
accepted  the  number  given  by  Cromwell  as 
correct,  though  they  have  nothing  to  fear 
from  Cromwell.  Aboea.

"STEXCIL":  ITS  DERIVATION. 

Prof.  Skeat  conjectiu-es  that  ''stencil"  i& 
derived  from  O.F.  "  estinceUtr,  to  sparkle. 
...  .to  powder,  or  set  thick  with  sparkles* 
(Cotgrave).  Ho  quotes  from  the  '  Aunt-ersof 
Arthuro'  *' with  his  sternea  (stars)  of  gold, 
utatweld  on  stray,"  i.e.,  *' stencilled  at  ran- 
dom." In  the  Wardrobe  Accoimts  of  Edw.  IlL 
occurs  **  hameeium  de  bukei^m  albo,  exifm- 
cellaio  cum  argeuto.'*  wliich  Pbof.  Sksat 
renders  "  starred  with  siiver." 

The  objections  to  this  etjinology  are  tbrft^ 
(1)  there  is  no  reason  for  assuming  that  lh» 
word  in  the  above  contexts  means  anvthini 
but  "sparkling  ''  (cf.  "  tinsel  ") ;  (2)  t'heren 
a  tremendous  gap  between  Edw.  III.  end  tbi 
modem  word  atencU,  wluch  appears  to  be 
first  booked  by  Webster ;  (3)  the  -»•  of 
esiincfler  was  mute  by  about  the  end  of  the 
thirteenth  century,  hence  the  E.  form  HnatL 

The  Kev.  Percy  Smith  in  his  *  Glossary  of 
Words  and  Phrases  *  suggests  a  more  plfiusiW* 
etymology  from  G.  *'  Stanze,  moula,  ntetal- 
stamp,  die,  punch  '*  (Flfigel-Sohmidt-TangerX 
This  does  not,  however,  account  for  thr

FAIR  KOSAMOND:    SAMPLER  WORK. 

It  is  very  possible  that  the  romantic  story  of 
Fair  Rosamond  and  King  Henry  II.,  and 
of  the  decisive  action  taken  by  his  jcaIour 
wmsrtrt,  Queen  Eleanor.  haH  been  told  in 
yther  ways  than  in  chapbooks  (see  10  S. 
3tii.  20fl.  208,  452). 

1  have  in  my  possession  (in  England)  a 
^■^y  interesting  and  nicely  worked  em- 
broidwed  picture,  which  evidently  portrays 
tlu>  ftlxive  dramA,  in  which  (though  I  have 
ft'Jl  scrutinized  it  for  some  years  and  there- 


fore my  description  ia  from  memory  only) 
I  seem  to  see.  as  stated  at  the  last  reference 
by  Mr.  Walter  Scott, 

"  the  Queen.  daK^er  in  hand,  standing  in  frmif  "f 
Itiisauumd,  who,  on  her  knee*,"  with  luditi'in-lv 
u-i^ebegime  viAnge,  and  holding  tbu  cup  of  i».i>-Mn, 
f>vinccs  marked  repugzuuice  to  awatlow  the  deadly 
draught.'* 

The  whole  forms  a  panel  of  some  15  in. 
by  10  in.,  and  is  very  finely  embroidered 
in  various  coloured  silks,  enriched  with 
gold  and  silver  thread  or  wire  over  raised 
work. 

Additions  have  evidently  been  made  to 
it  by  a  later  and,  apparently,  coarser  hand, 
and  parts  of  the  (igm'es  are  so  filled  in. 

In  the  centre  the  labyrinthine  bower  at 
Woodstock  is  well  indicated,  and  ixi  tlie 
lower  part  of  the  jianel  is  shown  what  appears 
to  be  a  royal  crown — though  certainly  not  a 
Plantagejiel  one — together  with  lions  and 
those  other  animals  which  are  usually  intro- 
duced into  this  kind  of  work,  though  they 
have  nothing  to  do  with  the  main  subject. 
In  an  oval  inset  is  a  portrait  of  a  personace 
in  what  would  ^teem  to  be  a  wig  of  the 
Stuart  period,  fiomething  after  the  fashion 
of  the  portraits  of  Charles  II.  or  his  ill-fated 
son  the  Duke  of  Monmouth. 

Tradition  has  it  that  this  picture  was 
worked  by  a  member  of  the  familv  in  Dorset 
when  a  girl  at  school  in  We>Tnouth  (I  think), 
and  was  left  unfinished  owing  t^">  the  breaking 
nut  of  the  Monmouth  Rebellion.  \Miether 
t  hcse  Dorset  schoolgirls  were  desirous  of 
emulating  the  deeds  of  their  Somersetahire 
friends  "the  Fair  Maids  of  Taunton,"  op 
whether  they  were  afraid  of  the  same  treat- 
ment being  meted  uut  to  them,  history 
telleth  not.  But  inasmuch  as  this  relxillion 
occurred  in  1685,  and  as  I  have  also  one  of 
the  usual  long  samplers  worked  in  geo*"' 
metrical  designs,  letters  of  the  alphabet,  and 
numerals,  followed  by  the  initials  *'  E.  V." 
and  the  date  "  1678  " — which  would  evidently 
be  the  work  of  a  yoimger  child — I  am  dis- 
posed to  think  that  the  above  tradition  may 
nave  been  well  founded,  and  that  it  was 
the  same  hand — when  somewhat  older — 
that  sought  to  weave  in  fairly  imperishable 
material  (if  well  taken  care  of)  the  loves  of 
one  of  the  most  powerful  of  the  Plantagenet 
sovereigns  and  his  ao-callcd  *'  concubine.'* 

If  thi«  be  so.  my  pictiu^  would  certainly 
be  earlier  in  date  than  any  of  the  chap- 
biiokrt  referred  to  by  your  corrcBpondonta.

story  has  ever  formed  a  popular  subject 
for  t«pe«try  or  embroidery  work  T 

Examples  of  this  kind  of  work,  of  course, 
existed  many  years  prior  to  the  period  I 
have  mentioned,  being,  one  may  say,  sun- 
<$eeded  by  sampler  work,  even  aa  samplers 
in  their  tiUTi  gave  way  to  those  abomina- 
tious  of  pictorial  needlework  of  the  Early 
Victorian  era,  only  to  be  superseded,  thank 
goodness  I  by  the  excellent  productions  of 
modern  Schools  of  Art  Needlework. 

But  I  can  scarcely  think  that  this  nirable- 
fijigered  ancestress  of  mine  evoked  the  idea 
or  the  drawing  out  of  her  own  head.  One 
is  fain  to  believe  that  the  subject-s  chosen 
or  allowed  to  be  selected  by  schoolgirls  were 
rather  religious  than  classical ;  and  more 
often  portrayed  the  wellwom  Biblical  stories 
of  Aoam  and  Eve.  Hagar  and  Ishmael. 
Joel  and  Siserii,  or  Jehu  and  Jezebel,  than 
the  illicit  loves  of  heathen  gods  and  goddesses 
or  those  of  our  own  ro^Til  personages. 

I  have  myself  never  come  across  this 
subject  so  iIlM8trale<l  before ;  neither  do  1 
remember  to  have  seen  anything  like  it  at  the 
very   interesting   exhibition   of   old   English

*■  Renascence  :  the  SctT-PTUBED  Tombs 
OP  Rome.' — It  may  seem  ungracious  to  take 
exception  to  any  blame  occurring  in  a  review 
written  in  so  sympathetic — I  may  even  say 
generous — a  spirit  aa  that  in  '  N.  &  Q.*  for 
24  September  upon  my  book,  'The  Rena- 
scence Tombs  of  Rome.'  Yet  it  is  just  that 
spirit  which  emboldens  me  to  crave  a  hearing. 

Your  reviewer  quotes  a  "picturesque

Lord  Berkeley  ajtd  Highwaymen. 
— Two  years  after  his  adventure  with  the 
highwayman,  which  has  been  described 
previously  in  *  \.  &  Q.'  (see  10  S.  iv.  349. 
415.  495).  Lord  Berkeley  seems  to  have  had 
another  encounter  with  a  gentleman  of  the 
road.  In  vol.  xJvi.  pp.  480-81  of  the 
Oeni.  Mag.  the  following  paragraph  appeared : 

Aru,  Of.  i^  [1776J.— "Lord  Berkeley  waa  robbed 
near  Salt  Hill  on  the  Readine  road ;  hat  hts  serrant 
soon  conuDfE  on,  pursued  the  higbitayman,  over^ 
took  him,  and  snot  hiin  dead." 
Horace  Walpole  speaks  of  *'  Earl  Berkeley,, 
who  shot  BO  many  highwaymen  near  tus 
own  house"  ('  Letters  of  Horace  Walpole^' 
ed.  Mrs.  To>'nbee,  xv.  216).

"  TRA^-scE^-DANT."  (See  9  S.  x.  428; 
xi.  15,  71.) — In  The  Edinburgh  Beview  for 
October.  1902,  there  was  an  allusion  to 
"the  transcendant  financial  genius  of  Mr. 
Gladstone."  This  prompted  a  query  at  the 
first  reference  regarding  the  form  "  tran- 
scendant," which  the  ouerist  was  disposed 
to  deprecate,  and  which  was  not  favoured 
in  the  replies  that  supervened.  Apparently 
the  word  as  it  stood  was  considered  an 
interloper,  and  nothing  was  advanced  in 
supjmrt  of  its  use  by  the  Edinburgh  reviewer. 
If  one  may  trust  a  reprint — an  hyputheeis 
of  deep  and  poignant  significance — it  is 
possible  to  oner  two  illustrations  now. 
According  to  a  version  of  CoIeridge*a  '  Table- 
Talk  *  which  is  undated,  but  otherwise  of 
quit«  resjjectable  presence,  the  philosopher^ 
on  8  April,  1833,  thus  soliloquized  on  the 
qualities  of  Edmund  Burke  :— 

"Burke  waa,  indeed,  a  ){;reat  roan.  No  ooo  ever 
read  history  so  phitusopfaically  as  he  eeenu  to  have 
done.  Yet,  until  he  could  aaaooiate  his  general 
principles  with  some  aordid  int«ro«t,  panic  of  pro- 
perty, jaoobinisni,  4o.,  he  was  a  mere  dinner  DclI. 
Hence  you  will  fitid  so  manv  half  truths  in  hi» 
speeches  and  writtnga.  Nevertheleaa,  let  ua  heartily 
acknowledge  his  trauMendaut  greatneM. 

At  a  sitting  about  a  fortnight  later  — 
on  24  April,  1833.  to  be  quite  precise — the 
two  themes  under  consideration  were 
*  VVeddod  Love  in  Shakes|>eare  and  hia  Con- 
temporary Dramatists  '  and  *  Temnvson's 
Poems.'  In  passing  it  may  be  noted  that  m 
rt^ard  to  his  youthful  contemporar\'*8 
metrical  skill  the  sovereign  melodist  of  his 
ape  made  some  rele\'ant  and  notable  obser- 
vations. As  usual  with  him  when  concerned 
with  Shakespeare,  what  he  said  was  at  once 
enthusiastic  and  discriminating.  In  all 
our  old  dramatists,  he  warmly  averred* 
you  will  find  in  the  supreme  master  alone 
any   »uch  thing,  a&   «»  ^Mte  to\iR«\^^^n^a.  "^V

Gibbon  and  Hibgame. — A  closer  exam- 
ination of  the  Buniame  of  the  copyist  of 
Gibbon's  MS,  notes  in  Harwood's  'View  of 
the  Greek  and  Roman  Classics '  (see  ante, 
p.  188)  clearly  reveals  the  fact  that  it  is 
Hibgame,  and  not  **Hibjame."  GiL.bon's 
copyist,  it  is  also  interesting  to  note,  is  the 
groat-imcle  of  a  contributor  to  *  N.  &  Q./ 
Mr,  Frederick  T.  Hibgame. 

Edward  Hibgame  was  the  son  of  John 
Hibgame  and  Catherine  Thurlow,  and  was 
born  at  Bumham  Norton.  Norfolk,  in  1737- 
(His  mother  was  a  daughter  of  the  Kev. 
Thomas  Thurlow,  Rector  of  the  Worthams. 
Suffolk,  and  her  brother  was  the  father  of 
Lord  Chancellor  Thurlow.)  Edward  went 
up  to  C/ini  bridge  at  an  early  age,  and  was 
outored  at  Corpus  College.  His  name  occurs 
in  the  List  of  Jimior  Oi>timea  in  1760,  He 
took  orders,  and  in  1762purohiised  the  ad  vow- 
eon  of  the  benefice  of  Stratton  St.  Miohafl, 
Norfolk,  to  wluch  he  presented  himself  in 
the  same  year.  He  lies  biu-ied  under  the 
Commimion  table  of  his  church. 

Edward  South  Hibgame,  his  son,  was 
educated  at  the  Charterhouse,  and  went  up 
to  Cambridge,  and  ultimately  became  a 
Pellow  of  Jesus  College  in  1798,  Both 
fAtber  and  son  were  men  of  learning,  and 


the  son  sreatly  distinguished  himself  as  ■ 
Greek  scholar.  A  query  as  to  a  Greek 
Granunar  said  to  have  been  brought  out  by 
him  appeared  in  '  N.  &  Q.'  several  years  ago. 
Edward  South  Hibpnme  died  holding  the 
livings  of  Whittlesford,  Combs,  and  St. 
Cicorge  Colegate,  Norwich,  in  1861. 

The  elder  Hibgame.  who  lived  in  an  Dge 
of  great  private  libraries,  evidently  had  ft 
largo  library  for  a  country  clergyman,  and 
his  books  seem  to  have  been  dispersed  all 
over  Europe,  The  present  wTiter,  in  hk 
book -hunting  *'  expeditions  "  around  London 
in  former  years,  has  seen  niunbers  of  leather- 
boimd  voiiunes  with  the  signature  of  **  Edwd. 
Hibgame  "  on  the  fly-leaves  and  with  MS. 
notes ;  he  has  also  found  them  in  the 
boxes  along  the  quavs  of  tho  Seine  in  Para, 
the  side  streets  of  Brussels  and  (quaint  old 
Bruges,  and  even  in  the  **  antiquarixui ' 
shops  of  Germany's  leading  lx»ol:  - 
Leipzig.  Some  \'oliimes  from  H  - 
library  have  MS.  notes,  the  perusal  oi  ^, 
proves  that  he  was  personally  acqi 
and  corresponded  with  a  number  of 
tinguished  literary  men  of  the  eighl 
century.  Edward  Hibgame,  like  Becl 
and  Home  Tooke,  had  the  habit  of  wril 
his  recollectionu  in  his  books,  and  if 
entire  library  could  be  brought  to)i 
again  no  doubt  a  very  entertaining  \i 
could  be  compiled  from  the  MS-  note^ 
'  The  State  of  Learning  and  Literature 
England  in  the  Eighteenth  Century.'

Mid  a  few  remarks  upon  this  interesting 

The   explanation    by    Isaac   Taylor 

&  Q.'  (9  S.  vi.  6)  is  certainly  wrong. 

aylor^s   '  Names  and  their  Histories,' 

p.  68,  where  no  fewer  than  four  origins 

of  the  name  are  Buppested.  of  which  three 

'       we  wrong,   and  the  fourth  gives  only  the 

Icelandic,  not  the  Anglo-Saxon  form. 

Ttiylor  suggests  (1)  lacu,  a  pool ;  (2)  lagu, 
*  ttream  ;  (3)  Icel.  Iceki,  a  brook  ;  (4)  lea 
(error  for  Uah),  a  field. 

^  (1)  The  A.-S.  lacu,  a  pool  (rather  a  lake). 
11  not  a  Teutonic  word,  but  merely  the 
L  Uif'tif*  in  Euglisii  spelling.  In  French  it 
*«  spelt  lac.  and  our  present  E.  lake  is  the 
•wne  word,  either  from  A.F.  or  A.-S.,  but 
ih  either  case  from  Latin  ;  see  Lake,  eb.  (4), 
in  the  *  N.E.D/ 

(2)  Tlie  A.-S.  lagu^  sea,  stream,  ie  the 
Toiiouic  equivalent  of  the  preceding,  and 
>-iilly  became  law  in  Middle  English. 
^iir  '':ifn«^Tim(^s  it  became  lay,  as  in  modern 
'  ■"  Vfi  1 'ij.  Xeverthelesd.  it  is  not  the 
•''-^  lu  Ik. L-rlev.  It  is  discussed  under 
tdy.  lb.  (1).  in  the  '  N.E.D.' 

(3)  The  Icel.  krki  is  a  mistake  for  Ictkr,  a 
rtream ;  it  is  cognate  wit  h  another  A.-  S._  lacu. 


a  stream,  which  is  quite  distinct  from  the 
borrowed  lacu  noted  above.  It  is  a  true 
Teutonic  word,  allied  to  the  verb  '*  to  leak," 
and  meant  a  stream  issuing  from  a  mere. 
This  is  the  word  we  want  ;  it  is  Lake,  ah.  ('I), 
in  the  '  N.E.D.*  Prof.  Earle  ('Land 
Charters,*  p.  465)  says:  "This  /aJtc  for 
running  water  is  a  genuine  English  word. 
and  is  still  widely  current  in  the  West  of 
England,  in  Devon  and  Somerset,  and  pro- 
bably Dorsetshire."  In  the  '  E.D.D.'  it  is 
Lake,  ab.  (2),  a  brook,  rivulet,  or  stream 
(allied  to  lache  in  sense  3),  and  is  known  in 
Hants.  Wilts,  Dorsetfihire.  and  Cornwall, 
as  well  as  in  Devon  and  Somerset  :  and 
e\'en  in  Cumberland  and  So  uth  Wales. 
It  is  usually  auplied  to  small  streams  and 
brooks. 

(4)  The  form  Beverley  is  certainly  modem, 
due  to  the  substitution  of  Ua  or  ley  (A.-S. 
leak)  for  the  older  Huftix  -lac,  which  happens 
to  be  correct.  I  find  Beverlac  several  times 
in  the  Inquiaitiones  post  Mortem,  which  is 
quite  right  as  it  stands.  It  does  not  mean 
cither  "  beaver-pool  "  or  "  beaver-lea,"  but 
stands  for  *'  beaver-brook."  And  surely 
beavers  preferred  a  brook  to  a  pasture. 

It  will  now  be  seen  that  Beverlev  Brook 
really  means  *'  beaver-brook  brooK."  the 
*'  brook  "  being  added,  as  in  very  many  like 
instances,  when  the  suffix  came  to  be  no 
longer  intelligible. 

It  is  impossible  that  the  A.-S.  leak  (gen. 
Uage^)  could  ever  have  been  repreeented  by 
lac.  It  is  thus  that  Canon  Taylor's  ety- 
mologies break  down.  He  had  no  know- 
ledge of  the  histon,'  of  English  sounds  ; 
and  there  are  many  others  who  are  in  a  like 
case.  Walteb  W.  Sileat.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.        (ii  s.  a  Oct.  is.  i9ia 


Da.  FOKSHAW  has  taken  tliia  (^xt^act ;  and  | 
I  much  regret  to  be  incUided  among  those  ^ 
who  have  made  "  misatatementa  *'  con- 
cerning thia  short  but  mterestlog  episode  I 
in  the  great  fitatemnan*fl  career.  But  am  1 1 
guilty,  even  according  to  Db.  Forshaw's  , 
showing  ?  He  gives  a  letter  from  Miss 
Gladstone  which  slates  : — 

"Mr.  Gladstone  loft  Ett-n  Deci^mber,  1827; 
niiitncuUted  (it  Ox(or<!  Jununry  23pd,  1828; 
arrived  at  U'ilinslow  Janunry  24th,  1828 ;  loft 
Wiliualow  April  lltb,  1828. .  .  .boKan  mideucc* 
at  Oxford  October  10th,  1828.  " 

In  all  these  statements,  only  one  conflicts 
in  the  slightest  degree  with  mine,  and  that 
is  the  giving  of  23  January  instead  of 
13  January.  1828.  as  the  date  of  admission 
at  Oxford.  But  the  allegetl  *'  misstatements  ^* 
are  in  connexion  with  the  Gladstone  stay 
at  Wilmalow,  and  none  such  were  made  by 
me. 

It  is  interesting  to  add  one  further  quota- 
tion on  this  subject  from  a  Gladstone  bio- 
graphy which  Dr.  Fobshaw  has  missed* 
but  which  is  of  special  significance  because 
it  contains  the  statesman's  own  account 
of  the  episode  : — 

"  Gladstone  left  Eton  at  Chriatmaa.  1827.  Ho 
road  for  six  raonths  with  private  tutors,  one  of 
whom  was  Dr.  Turner,  afterwards  Bishop  of  Cal- 
cutta. With  reforenco  to  this  part  of  his  Ufe,  he 
■wrote  ; — '  I  residc-d  with  Dr.  Turner  at  Wilmalow 
<in  Cheshire)  from  January  till  a  few  months 
lator.     My  reeidonce  with  him  was  cut  off  by  his 

appointment  to  the  UiflhopHc  of   Calcutta My 

compitnionR  were  tbe  preeent  (1877)  Bishop  of 
Sodi.r  and  Man,  and  Sir  C.  A.  Wuod,  Ueputy- 
ChHirnian  of  the  G.W.  Railway.  \Vp  employed 
our  spare  time  in  gymnastics,  in  turning,  and  in 
rambles."*— George  \V,   E.   Russell  (1891). 

This  wriU  show  that  Lord  Morley  of  Black- 
bum's  alleged  **  misstatement  *•  was  textu- 
ally  derived  from  the  written  words  of  Mr. 
Gladstone  himself — a  fact  assuredly  to  be 
pleaded  in  defence  of  the  biographer.

of  infantry  at  St.  Helena,  married  a  daughter 
of  Sir  William  Doveton,  to  whose  house  at 
St.  Helena  —  Mount  Pleasant  —  Napoleon 
often  went. 
^  "  A  brow  of  the  hill  close  to  the  Briara,  to  which 
Na-poleon  generally  walked  of  an  evening  when

These  details  are  taken  from  Sir  Heniy 
Russell's  account  of  his  visit  to  St.  Helena 
in  1821,  which  I  have  given  in  my  *  Swallow-

Napoleon  was  so  intimate,  was  a  connexion

Oliver  Cromwell  was  not  himself  present  at 
Corfe ;    but  before  14  February  a  party  of 
120  Cavaliers  under  Col.  Cromwell  (probably 
Jauiee     Cromwell,     eldest     son     of     Henry, 
Oliver's    senior    first-cousin)    had    made    a

inarched  through  Col.  Cooke's  quarters  un-

Atuong  the  earliest  forms  of  this  local 
name  are  Prinkeneese  and  Prinkenesche, 
wliich  occiu'  (c.  1125)  in  a  list  of  donations 
to  the  Benedictine  Abbey  of  St.  Peter's, 
Gloucester,  Variant  corruptions,  such  as 
Prynkotoarsh.  are  to  be  found  in  1527.  In 
lotters  of  1643  Princenage  and  Prinknedge 
occur.  Although  the  ash  tree  rarely  develops 
well  in  the  locality  nowadays,  and  the  beech 
i»  lord  of  tliis  portion  of  Cotteswotd,  the 
a»b  may  have  been  more  remarkable  in 
other  days.  Neighbouring  Gelds  are  called 
'•  The  Nash  '*  and  "  Great  Naah."  Further 
off  we  have  Naah  quarry,  near  Brockhampton. 
Some  have,  however,  suggested  Nees  and 
Nasa  (A.-S.  A'(s«),  owing  to  the  projecting 
escarpment-line  here,  and  to  the  tact  of  the 
term  occurring  in  this  sense  further  down 
the  Sevfrn  valley.  It  is  locally  pronounced 
precisely  as  if  it  were  spelt  l*rmich,  Gael, 
to  pin.  St.  Clair  Baddeley. 

In  Naah*s  *  Worcestershire,*  ii.  19»  tho 
following  appears  under  Kempsey  : — 

"  Johur  the  son  of  Raffi  de  Aahe.  held  three  yards 
(»c)  of  land  in  Kereawell ;  which  lands  wer« 
\'ulgarly  called  *Tlie  Nash.*  Tho  name  of  Nash 
hath  been  of  great  antiunity  in  this  ptuiah.  In  the 
Bishop'fi  Domesday,  Kobertus  ile  Fraxino,  in  Kng- 
lish.  Robert  of  the  Ash,  otherwise  Robert  Nash,

West  Yorkshire  means  forward,  proud,  &c.  ; 
and  a  "  priiik(e)naah "  would  appear  to 
ha\'e  meant  an  ash  tree  beautifully  or 
proudly  situated  (probably  a  mountain  ash) 
on  the  slope  or  at  the  summit  of  the  hill. 
There  is  a  minini?  town  named  Mountain 
Aah  in  Wales  ;  but  whether  this  was  origin- 
ally named  from  a  hill  with  an  ash  tree  one 
cannot  say.  Ashiesteel  in  Melrose  is  thought 
by  Johnston,  in  his  '  Place-Names  of  Scot- 
land.' to  be  the  **  place  of  the  aah  trees  "  ; 
and  Aahkirk  in  the  countj*-  of  Selkirk  ia  eaid 
to  have  derived  its  name  from  the  ash  trees

A  verger  is  a  man,  usually  gowned,  whose 
business  it  is  to  carry  the  verge  or  mace 
before  deans,  canons,  parsons,  or  other

before  liim,  and  carries  his  crosier  in  his

Snails  as  Food  (11  S.  ii.  125, 175,  218).— 
I  can  recommend  the  eating  of  snails  to  epi- 
cures as  a  lunch,  like  whelks  or  periwinklea. 
The  only  way  1  have  tasted  them  was  served 
as  they  are  at  Bnirwelfl,  that  i^,  cooked  in  the 
shell,  the  orifice  being  closed  n'ith  a  liglit 
forcemeat.  The  strength  impart-ed  to  the 
gaateropod  by  being  fed  on  vine-leavea 
exercised  such  a  fortifiani  eSect  on  my  head, 
I  remember,  that  I  could  partake  of  only 
three  or  four  at  a  time.  Wlien  t-akon  out 
of  the  shell  with  a  two-pronged  fork  they 
were  hard  like  a  prime,  and  black  ;  there  was 
nothing  viscid  about  them.       N.  W.  Hixx.

Now,  in  Ceylon,  is  the  gastronome's  gastro- 
podical  opportunity  !  Th^  Momittg  P<tst 
informs  me  that  there  is  a  plague  of  snails 
in  tho  island,  and  tliat  some  specimens  of 
the  creatures  are  as  much  as  a  pound  in 
weight. 

1  have  been  twice  at  Bourge«.  and  well 
remember  ha\-ing  seen  a  tine  escargot 
paaeant  depicted  on  the  window  of  a  sliop 
or  restaurant.  Mb.  John  Ward's  recom- 
mendation stirs  me  ;  but  I  am  afraid  I  shall 
not  be  able  to  follow  it.  In  Provence  the 
pefisants  use  a  long  noil  to  extract  the  dainty 
from  its  shell.  These  implement*  may  be 
seen  in  the  Ufe-sized  group  of  peasants 
celebrating  Christmas  that  one  finds  in  the 
museum  at  Aries,  which  illustrates  the  folk- 
life  of  the  region.  St.  Sutthix. 

"Game  leg"  (II  S.  ii.  229.  296).— In 
*  E.U.D.'  {s.v,  *  Gammy*)  w©  find  "a 
gammy  leg,"  in  the  sense  of  a  crooked, 
deformed  leg,  occurring  in  many  dialects  in 
various  parts  of  England  from  Xorthumber- 
land  to  l^ivonshire.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  this  is  tho  better  etymological  form, 
and  that  the  phrase  "  a  game  leg  '*  is 
flue  to  the  influence  of  the  common  word 
'*  game." 

The  word  "  gammy  *'  is  probably  of  French 
origin,  and  identical  with  Fr.  ganibi,  bent, 
crooked  (Cot^ave).  Tho  word  gambi  is 
still  in  use  in  many  French  dialects,  in 
Xormandy,  the  Jiu-a  and  Languedoc.  For 
references,  see  the  etymological  note  in 
•K.D.D.'  The  French  word  is  probably 
cognate  with  Gr.  aKa.filS6%^  "  having  a  crooked 
leg,"  and  Ital.  agambo  (Florio),  and  derived 
from  Old  Celtic  combos,  crooked,  whonco

Sydnky  S\nTH  ON  Spekceb  Pehceval 
(US.  ii.  267).— Sydney  Smith  dealt  with 
Spencer  Perceval's  domMtic  virtues  and 
tlicir  political  non-importance  in  two  of  his 
'  Letters  of  Peter  Plymley.'  The  better- 
known  passage  is  from  Letter  11.,  in  wliich 
he  wrote : — 

•  You  spend  a  great  dnl  of  ink  about  the  oharspter 
of  the  (iresent  prime  mioister.  tir&ut  vimi  atl  thnt

he  IB  faithful  to  Mrs.  Perceval,  and  kind  to  the 
Master  PerceraU!  These  arc.  andoubt<<d1y,  the 
first  qualificationi  to  be  looked  to  in  a  time  of 
the  niost  eerioas  public  danger :  but  5iomchow  or

for  the  veal  of  the  preceding  year,  whipped  his 
boya,  and  sared  hia  country." 

The  other  is  from  Letter  IX.  : — 

"  I  cannot  deacribo  the  horror  and  didpi-it  which 
I  felt  at  hearing  Mr.  Perceval  call  u|>on  the  then

I  believe  the  first  edition  of  this  pamphlet 
was  published  in  1836. 

A  freeh  account  of  this  remarkable  case, 
based  upon  the  documents  recently  sold  at 
Sotheby  s,  would  be  welcomed  Vjy  students 
of  the  period,  but  if  such  a  one  is  written 
it  is  to  oe  hoped  that  it  will  not  be  treated 
in  the  lazy,  slipshod  fashion  in  which  such 
subjects  are  too  often  dealt  with  nowa- 
days. It  is  absolutely  essential  that  all  the 
references  in  contemporary  London  ond 
provincial  newspapers  should  be  carefully 
collated.  Horace    Bi^ackley.

The  Pnetiut  or  Jonathan  ,SV»//,  !>./>.  Edited  by 
Willittiu  Ernst  Browning.  2  vols.  {BeU  Jk 
Sons.) 
Tms  careful  edition  uf  Swift's  verao  is  a  natural 
and  useful  addition  to  the  cxcelleut  volumes  con- 
cerned with  his  prf;»f,  edited  by  Trinplc  Scott. 
Both  are  part  of  "  Bohn's  StAodArd  Library,"  the 
new  issues  uf  which  are  always  wurtb  the  regard  of 
scholars. 

Mr.  Browning's  Introduction  docs  not  pre- 
poosofis  us  iu  hia  favour  as  a  nTitcr.  hoing  some* 
what  dull  and  verbose  ;  but  his  diligonce  aa  an 
editor  in  all  that  concerns  the  text  is  laudable, 
and  numerous  not{?s,  1>oth  by  (dder  authorities  and 
hiinaeif,  aosist  reader*  towards  a  better  compre- 
lienainn  of  the  text*  Mr,  Browning  niontions 
Bpeeially  that  ho  ha^  added  clfL««icnl  references, 
a  point  of  importance  for  the  present  race  of 
readers.  This  feature  has,  it  is  liinted,  demanded 
some  rc«i>ai-cb,  and  may  be  called  exhau-^tlve. 
But  most  of  the  rrferences  seem  to  us  fairly 
obvious  to  an  expert  in  the  classicB,  and  here  and 
there  it  wi^uld  be  posftible  to  add  to  them. 

We  offer  a  few  notes  on  these  and  other  points. 
In  the  Gr«t  place,  it  is  odd  that  neither  this  edition 
nor  the  earlier  Aldine  iastie  of  Mesarn.  UpH  ntates 
who  the  writ*.'i-s  styled  II.  F.  and  8.  in  the  notes 
are.  This  should  surely  have  been  explained. 
"  Necessity,  thou  tyrant  eongeienre  of  the  f^^at  *' 
(i.  6),  and  '*  Neceasity,  the  tyrant's  law,"  look  liWo 
reminiBcenres  of  Milton's  phrase  in  '  Fnradis« 
Lost,'  iv.  303,  "  necessity,  the  tyrant's  plea."  In 
i.  27  the  gods  of  Nile  recall  Juvenal's  description. 
The  "  L.  H.,  W.  R..  J.  S..  S.  T.  '  of  '  A  Town 
Eclogue  '  (i.  8vl)  remain  unexplained.  Corydon's 
lines. 

What  I  could  raise  I  sent ;  a  pound  of  plums, 
Five  BbillingH,  and  a  coral  fur  Ids  gums ;

In  tlif-'  7th  .IHneid  rather  than  the  llth.  In  ii.  200 
••  uatalf  flnlum  "  might  have  been  referred  to

inK  h'8  evident  Latin  modol,  he  would  hikVi' 
artiidcd  a  false  quantity.  In  the  next  line  Mr. 
Browning  peada  "  Crabronea  "  :  "  homcta  who 
in  bis  sensea  would  wish  to  tonch  ?  '*  The 
Aldine  edition  W6  notice  has  "  cralwnffl.'*  which 
looks  like  *'  carbones,"  "  coiJa."  But  "  urabpone«" 
is  preferable,  because  meddling  with  hornet«  i» 
proverbial  in  Latin.  Plautu«  in  his  '  Amphitrwo  * 
makes  S'laia  say  *'  laritabia  crabron«."  In  ii.  346 
Scott  oddly  dcflcribes  "  rung"  as  "  tho  Yorkshire 
tenn  for  the  rounds  or  at^^ns  of  a  ladder  ;  still  used 
inevt^ry  part  of  Ireland.'  Still  used,  we  might 
add.  in  every  part  of  EnRland. 

Mr.  Browning  quotes,  we  notice,  fn>ra  our  own 
column*!,  but  he  might  have  ufied  more  from  the 
Bamo  sourre  with  adviintAge.  Johnson's  '  Lifo  of 
Swift."  admirably  annMtiited  by  Dr.  Birkbeck 
Hill  with  ftDpi'^ndixes,  is  also  n  mine  of  information. 
Hence  we  learn  (vol.  iii.  of  the  mlition,  pp.  73-4 1 
that  Swift  "  durat  not  insert"  at  flrat  tho  ltno« 
Kiven  t<i  Queen  Anne  in  the  poem  '  On  the  Death  of 
Dr.  Swift.'  and  that  he  exa^^erat^'d  when  he 
spoke  of  *'  modalfi."  Dr.  Tllll  adds  with  bis  usual 
precision:    "For  the   editions   of  this  poem  see 

Mr.  Bn-iwning  has  provided  an  Index,  chiefly 
of  persons ;  but  we  find  no  liwt  at  tho  end  either

Dictionary  '  gives  no  other  author  but  Leigh 
Hunt  as  using  the  word  in  this  sense."  The 
mention  of  Dryden,  is,  however,  all-impor- 
tant ;  fur  it  shows,  I  think,  that  aUo  in  the 
'  Kimiiii  *  passage  Hunt  had  Dryden  in  his 
mind.  Instead  of  an  obscure  tautology, 
equivalent  to  "  the  swarming  insects  swarm." 
we  have  a  reminiscence  of  Dryden's  vocabu- 
lary :  *'  the  swarming  insects  '  fry,*  as  Dry* 
den  would  have  said."  No  dnubt,  as  mr, 
WTjeeler  miglit  have  found  by  the  use  of 
Christie's  glossary  to  the  "Globe"  Dryden, 
Hunt  was  thinking  of  Dryden's  rendering 
of  the  lines 

At  uiccum  raucift,  tun  dum  vestigia  liutru, 
Ho\e  sub  ardenti  reeuuant  arbtuttM  cicadla. 

in  VirgiKs  second  Eclogue  : — 
While  in  th«  scorchino:  sun  I  trace  in  vain 
My  dying  foototops  o  cr  the  burning  plain. 
The  creaking  lociuta  with  my  voire  conspire, 
They  fried  with  beat,  and  I  with  ilnr*?  desire. 

Dryden  means  no  more  by  the  e.\pression 
than  that  the  locusts  or  grasshoiipers  were 
exposed  to  the  rays  of  a  burning  sun. 

Fry  in  this  sense  of  *'  bm"n  "  is  frequent 
in  Dryden.  It  may  be  transitive,  as  in 
'Secret  Love;  or.  The  Maiden  Queen,'  iii.  I  : 

Like  water  giv'n  to  those  whom  fevers  fry  : 
You  kill  but  him,  wh<t  must  without  it  die. 

But  generally  it  is  intransitive  : — 
The  ground  below  ie  parch'd.  the  hwiv'iis  above  us 
fry.— Horace,  Odes  Ui.  29.  Hue  2,'^  of  trnnalation. 
My  men — some  fall,  the  rest  in  fcvera  fry.

lie  fries  within,  and  hiasee  at  my  buart. 

'Palamonond  Arcitts'  ii.  112. 

Dryden  also  uses  it  intransitively  in  the 
sense  of  "seethe,"  "boil,"  as  thus  in 
'iEneid.' v.  186;— 

Liuh'd  with  their  oars,  the  smoky  blUowv  rise  ; 
Sparkles  the  briny  main,  and  the  vex'd  ocean  friett.

CH.'VRLES  n.  STATUE  IN  THE  ROYAL 
EXCHANGE. 

In  a  reply  «.t\   *  George  I,   Statues  *   {arUe, 
p.  99)  Mb.  Chas.  H.  Hopwood  writes  : — 

"The  statue  nf  Charles  II.  that  stood  in  the 
c«ntr«  of  the  opf^n  at^a  of  the  old  Exchange  was 
saved  [i.f.,fpom  the  fireof  18.S8J,  and  stands  in  the 
south-east  anfck'  uf  the  ambulatory  of  the  preaont 
boilding.  It  in  said  to  be  the  only  stone  portrait 
figure  carving  of  Grinling  Gibbona.'* 

It  appears  to  be  doubtful  whether  Grinling 
Gibbons  was  the  author  of  the  original 
statue  of  Charles  II.  in  the  Royal  Exchange, 
and  almost  certain  that  he  was  not  the 
author  of  the  existing  statue.  I  have 
collected  a  good  deal  of  mddence  on  the 
matter  from  various  books. 

In  John  Chamber  la  vne*B  *  MagRse  Bri- 
tannisa  Xotitia ;  or,  1^16  Present  State  of 
Great  Britain.'  22nd  edition  of  the  '  South 
Part  call'd  England,*  1708,  pp.  333-4,  the 
statue  *'  erected  at  the  OharR«>  of  the  Society 
of  Merchant  Adventurers  of  England "  is 
asserted  to  be  ''  the  Worlananahip  of  the 
Famous  Car\^er  and  Statuary,  Mr.  Grinlin 
Gibbons." 

In  Edward  Hatton's  '  New  View  of  Lon- 
don,* 1708.  p.  616.  it  ifl  said  tliat  in  the  Royal 
Exchange  King  Charles  II.  is  '*  lively  rei>re- 
Bonted  by  the  Ingenious  Hand  of  Mr.  Gibbon." 

William  Mai t  land  in  his  *  History  of 
London  '  (ed.  1 754,  p.  900)  copies  Hatfcon 
verbatim. 

Horace  Walpole  in  his  '  Anecdotes  of 
Painting  in  England,*  1871  reprint  of  the 
edition  of  1786.  p.  267,  ».v.  *  Grinling 
Gibbons'  writes: — 

*'  The  baae  of  the  flguro  at  t'haring  Cross  was 
the  work  of  thU  artiat ;  so  wafi  the  stAtue  of 
(^harlca  IT.  at  the  Royal  Exchange." 

Presimiably    he    means    ''  the    base    of     the 
statue  of  Cliarles  EL.."  for  he  continues  : — 

"But  the  talent  of  Gibbons,  though  he  prartised 

in  all  kinds,  did  not  reach  liunian  ligui«9,  unless 

the    brazen    statue    of   James    II.,    in    the    Privy 

Onrdea,  be.  as  1  have  reason  to  bolleve  it,  of  his 

iworf." 


And  a  foot-note  Bays  : — 

'*  V'ert«e  says,  the  King  gave  Oibbons  n& 
exclusive  licence  for  the  sole  printing  of  this 
statue  [i.e.,  of  Charles  If.],  sjid  prohibiting  nil 
persona  to  engrave  it  without  his  l^ve  ;  and  yet, 
adds  my  author  [i.e.,  Vertue],  though  undertoJcea 
by  OibboQs,  it  waa  actuallv  executed  by  Qneltin 
of  Antwerp." 

Thomas  Pennant  in  *  Some  Account  of 
London.'  5th  ed.,  1813,  p.  581,  adopt« 
Vertue's  account  as  to  who  '*  did  "  the  statue. 

The  Oenil&man' 8  Magazuve  r>f  179U,  vol.  be 
pt.  ii.  p.  888.  has  the  following  ; — 

"  In  the  centre  [».f.,  of  the  Royal  ExrhangrJ  the 
statue  of  King  Charles  II.  (;«raar-Uke,  cut  in

Oibbons,  and  graved  and  printed  on  u  large  shtti 
by  P.  \'anderbane." 

The  article  which  contains  the  above  is 
a  very  interesting  one  on  *  Curio&iti««  in 
London  at  the  End  of  the  Last  Century* 
((.«.,  seventeenth  century).  Note  that  app5. 
rently  only  the  pedestal  is  attributed  to 
Oibbons.  In  Tl^e  QenilenMrCa  Magazine 
1794,  vol.  Ixiv.  pt.  L  p.  485,  '  Obituary  of 
Considerable  Persona."  is  the  following, 
tmder  date  May  17,  1794  : — 

"  At  Cmydon,  Surrey,  in  a  deep  decline,  Mr- 
John  SpiUer,  mason,  of  Temple  Iwine.  Black- 
friers,  brother  of  the  famous  Architect.  He 
wa0  a  pupil  of  Mr.  Bacon,  and  carved  the  stalee 
of  Charles  II.  in  the  Royal  Kxrhange." 

In  David  Hughaon^s  '  I»ndon  *  (no  datc^ 
circa  1801),  vol.  li.  p.  110,  ia  the  following:— 

"  A  verv  fine  statue  of  Charles  II,  by  Orialin 
Gibbons,  formerly  graced  the  centre  of  the  vtf 
[i.e.,  of  the  Koyal  Exchange]  ;  hut  this  wsa  r^ 
placed  by  another  by  Rptller  ;  this  is  also  hafai1<«) 
in  the  Koman  stile." 

There  is  an  interesting  notice  of  ths 
statue  and  its  pedestal  in  *  Leigh's  No* 
Picture  of  London.*  new  edition.  1823, 
p.  240.  Speaking  of  the  Royal  Ehcchangcv 
the  writer  says  : — 

"  The  centre  of  this  area  is  ornamented  witti  s 
pood  statue  of  Charles  11.  in  a  Roman  hikbtt, 
standing  npon  a  pedestal  about  eight  feet  h^b, 
enriched  on  the  8,  side  with  an  impt^riikl  crown, 
a  sceptre,  sword,  palm-branches,  and  olhff 
decorations  with  a  very  flattering  ifLscription  to 
the  king.  On  the  W.  side  Is  a  Cupid,  cut  in  relies ". 
resting  his  right  hand  on  n  shield,  with  the  arms >{ 
France  and  England  quartered,  and  holdifiB;  t 
rose  in  bis  left  hand.  On  the  N.  side  is  anoUi^-r 
l^pid,  supporting  a  shield  with  the  arms  of 
IreJand  ;  and  on  the  E.  side  are  the  arms  of 
Scotland,  with  a  Oinid  holding  a  thistle;  Ui# 
whole  executed  in  relievo  by  that  able  atatnarrt 
Mr.  Gibbon.*' 

It  will  bo  seen  that  the  author  of  *  Lei^** 
New  Picture '  attributes  the  carving*  OB 
the  pedeetal  to  Grinling  Gibbons,  but  ignores 
the  authorship  of  the  statue.

It  may  be  worth  noting  that  whereas

rthiat  it  was  of  white  marbfo. 
suggest  that  Grinling  Gibbons  con- 
tracted for  the  Btatuo  and  the  pedestal  ; 
that  he  executed  the  pedestal  himself,  and 
made  a  sub-contract  with  Quellin  of  Antwerp 
the  statue  ;  that  some  hundred  j'earH 
in  consequence  of  injuries  done  to  the

volume  of  272  pages,  containing  references  to 
over  3,000  pieces.  Unfortunately,  how- 
ever, it  is  entirely  devoid  of  classification 
or  arrangement,  and  has  no  inde^.  This 
being  the  ciise,  I  have  departed  from  my 
usual  custom  in  communicating  these  sign-

I  can  give  aome  infonuation  on  thia  point. 
I  have  before  me  now  "  Journal  of  my  Life 
during  the  French  Revolution.  By  Grace 
Dalrymple  Elliott.  London,  Beotley,  1859." 
The  preface  states  that 

**  this  narrative  was  oom|)OBed  at  tlte  exjireM  desire 
oi  King  George  the  Third.  Mr.  Infterwarda  Sir 
David)  l>unda*>,  physician  to  the  King,  was  alnu 
Mrs.  Elliott's  medical  attendant,  and  was  in  the 
habit  of  relating,  durijii^  his  vi&iu  to  the  Ro^al 
Family,  some  of  the  iuctdeutii  and  anecdotes  which 
that  (ady  had  communieaUxl  to  him.  The  KiriK 
became  so  much  intereetod,  that  he  desired  Mr. 
Dundas  to  retjue^it  Mrs.  Elliott  to  commit  to  paper 
the  story  of  lu-r  life  in  Paris,  and  to  send  it  to  him. 
With  tnis  iiitimatiou  she  readily  oomxdied,  and 
aooordingly  the  narrative  was  conveyed  hy  Mr. 
Ihmdas  to  Windsor,  sheet  by  slieet  a&  it  was 
written  by  her  after  her  return  from  Fnanoe.  at  tUo 
Peace  of  Amiena.  in  1801" 

The  book  is  in  English :  tliis  preface  and 
the  final  pages  are  by  another  hand.  It  was 
she  who  obtained  the  releaae  of  Dr.  Gein, 
but  she  onlj'  escaped  death  herself  owinf 
to  the  fall  of  Kobespierre  ;  her  hair  had 
been  cut  bhort  rcad^*  lor  the  guillotine.  In 
later  years  she  returned  to  Paris.

Wordsworth  :  '  The  Cuckoo-clocx.'— 
In  '  The  Eversley  Wordsworth  *  (\niL  308) 
Prof,  Kniftht  has  printed  aa  if  they  were  • 
fresh  discovery  the  eleven  lines  beginning 

O  Bounty  without  measure, 
which  are  aaid  to  have  been  transcribed  by 
Crabb  Robinson  in  his  copy  of  the  edition 
of  1845;  and  Mr.  Nowell  Smith  reprinU 
ttiein  separately  in  his  edition  of  Words- 
worth (iii.  445),  adding  in  a  note  (iii.  687) 
that  they  were  "first  published  by  Pro'- 
Ivnight." 

Obviously  they  were  first  published  bj 
Wordswurth  himself,  for,  aside  from  thw* 
variations  that  may  roprosont  inacciiraei** 
in  the  "Eversley  "  edition,  they  arc  word 
for  word  identical  with  the  closing  lines  of 
'  The  Cuckoo-clock,'  which  appeared  in  tho 
year  1842.  For  "  pleasures  "  (I.  3),  "  uoinla" 
(1.  6),  and  "  mightv  "  (1.  8)  in  *  The  E\-«rdey

minor  diaerepancies  in  the  use  of  capital 
letters  and  punctuation. 

The  date  api)ended  to  these  eleven  Un«

Croker's  outhoritv.  Miss  Horno  in  hor 
fcv-ised  edition  (1896)  of  Croker  gives  it  with- 
Bbt  note  or  comment.  The  facts,  an  shown 
by  the  '  Sessions  Papers  of  the  Justice  Hall. 
Old  Bailey'  (1764-5)  are  that  on  the  16th 
of  April.  1765.  James  Knight  of  Wallmm 
Green  was  murdered,  and  his  body  found  on 
the  steps  of  a  lonely  inn.  ''the  Cow  and 
Calf"  m  the  FuJhain  Road  by  Chelsea 
Comnaon ;  and  that  on  tho  7th  of  July 
following  two  Chelsea  pensioners,  named 
Gould  ftnd  Stevens,  were  arrested  and 
charged  with  the  miu-der  at  the  instigation 
,of  another  Chelaoa  pensioner,  one  Robert 
Chambers.  At  tho  trial  the  evidence  given 
>V  Chambers  was  proved  to  be  utterly 
e,  and  both  the  accused  wore  duly 
|uitted,  instead  of  being  hanged  and 
»eir  liodies  left  to  swing  on  the  gil)bet. 
\e  Muster  Rolls  of  the  Royal  Hospital

inmates  of  the  Hospital.

Speakbh's  Chair  or  the  Old  UotJSE  or 
CoaiMONS  (I I  S.  ii.  128,  177,  218).— My  note 
on  the  preservation  of  the  SiKtaker's  chair 
of  the  old  House  of  Commons,  after  the 
destructive  fire  of  1834,  has  been  of  inte- 
rest tu  readers  of  Masonic  literature  as 
well  as  of  '  N.  &  Q.'  It  was  reprinted  in 
full  in  The  Freetnason,  where  it  initiated 
an  interesting  correspondence.  But  no 
information  has  been  given  as  to  the  dis- 
posal of  the  Speaker's  c-liair.  The  evidence 
is  therefore  all  in  support  of  the  statement 
that  the  chair  was  sent  down  to  Wearside, 
and  used  ou  the  oocasion  of  the  Duke  of 
Sussex's  visit  on  12  November.  1839.  The 
extracts  I  gave  in  reference  to  the  use  of  the 
chair,  and  its  being  the  Speaker's  chair  uf 
the  old  House  of  Commons,  were  taken  from 
the  colunms  of  The  Suruitrland  attd  Durham 
Counly  Herald  of  16  November.  1839.  The 
Morning  Chronicle  of  the  same  date,  and  The 
Freetnason'8  Quarterly  Hevie  w  for  1 839, 
p.  498. 

My  personal  investigations  have  fuUy  con- 
firmed the  accuracy  of  the  re[X>rts  quoted ; 
and  there  is  now  no  qucstiiju  that  the  original 
Speaker's  chair  of  the  old  House  of  Commons 
i.^  yet  preserved,  and  used  as  the  Worshipful 
Master's  chair  of  the  Phoenix  Lodj^o  of  Free- 
inasouB,  No.  94,  Sunderland.  I  have  been 
informed  by  the  son  of  an  old  officer  of  the 
lodge  that  there  has  ahva}*^  been  a  tradition 
in  his  family  that  tliis  cJiair  was  the  one  used 
by  the  royal  duke  at  the  public  reception  in 
the  Exchange,  and  aftem'ards  in  the  meeting 
<.f  the  Phcenix  Lodge,  where  H.R.H.  pre- 
side<l  as  Grcuid  Master  of  England. 

How  it  happened  that  so  liistoric  a  chair 
becBmo  the  property  of  a  Masonic  lodge  in 
the  North  of  England,  may  be  explained  by 
the  fact  that  Sir  Cuthbert  *Sharp,  F.S.A.,  the 
well-known  sclinlar,  was  a  resident  in  Simder- 
land  for  twenty-two  years  as  Comptroller  of 
Customs.  He  was  nephew  of  Brass  Crosby, 
M.P.,  the  famous  Lord  Mavor  of  London, 
who  defended  the  liberties  o^  the  City  in  the 
conflict  which  took  place  between  the  House 
of  Commons  and  the  printers  of  London, 
becaiiae  the  latter  had  published  reports  of 
the  proceedings  of  Parliameikt  without 
permisaiun.  Sir  Cuthbert  Sharp  was  also 
Deputy  Provincial  Grand  Master,  under  the 
Earl  of  Durham,  for  the  Durham  and 
Northumbrian  Miisonic  lodges.  The  Duke 
of  Sussex  was  not  only  Grand  Master  of  the 
English  Masonic  Order,  but  also  the  most 
intimate  friend  and  associate  of  the  Ist  Earl 
of  Durham.  It  was,  therefore,  natural  that 
Sir  Cuthbert  Sharp,  with  his  antiquarian 
knowledge   and   taste,   and   being   the  third

came  into  the  county  for  a  memorable 
ceremony. 

The  chair  in  the  Phoenix  Lodpe  answers  to 
the  deecriptiun  given  of  the  original  chair  in 
the  old  ilouae  of  Commons :  a  large, 
commodioii«  chair  with  fluted  Corinthian 
cohimna,  surmounted  by  the  royal  arms  with 
a  canopy.  The  only  alterations  are  that  the 
royal  arms  are  replaced  by  a  shield  with  the 
Masonic  Arin»,  and  that  Masonic  emblems 
liave  been  added  to  the  framework  of  the 
back   of   the  chair.     By  permission   of   the

was  tAken  to  protect  visitors  or  to  prevent 
attempts  at  communication  with  the  convicts, 
I  did  not  discover.

"  Mendiant  **  is  a  name  given  to  four  kinds 
of  dried  fruits,  wliich  grocers  usually  mix 
togetlier  ;  they  are  the  figs  of  Provence,  the 
raisins  of  Malaga,  almonds,  and  filberts. 
They  were  at  one  time  called  Lenten  fruit. 
The  little  Father  Andr^  said  one  day,  when 
preaching  before  Louis  XIII.,  that  tliese 
fruits  were  so  called  from  having  as  their 
patrons  the  four  orders  of  mendicanta,  viz., 
the  Franciscan  Capuchins,  who  represented 
tho  dried  raisins  ;  the  Rt^collots,  who  were 
like  the  dried  figs  ;  the  Minimes,  who  re- 
sembled damaged  almonds  ;  and  the  Moines- 
d^chaux,  who  were  only  empty  filberts.

The  four  great  orders  of  mendicant  friars 
are  tho  Dominican,  Franciscan.  Caruielito, 
and  Augustinian.  Figs,  raisins,  nuts,  and 
almonds  were  thought  to  represent  t  ho 
colour  of  the  respective  habits.  I  do  not 
know  how  to  apply  them  correctly  ;  but  I 
suppose  that  the  Dominicans  or  Black  Friars 
are  to  be  seen  in  raisins  ;  the  Frnneiscana  or 
Grey  Friara  (who  came  to  dress  in  brown) 
in  fira  ;  the  Carmelites  or  Wliite  Friars  in 
blanched  almonds  ;  and  the  Austin  P'riars 
in  nuts,  the  only  fruit  wliich  remains  to  be 
distributed. 

The  friars  were  sometimes  referred  to  as 
Cairn  =  Cain,  that  being  the  acrostic  of  their 
names,  while  the  Franciscans  were  termed 
Minorites,  and  the  Dominicans  Jacobins, 
as  they  often  were,  from  their  ha\ing  a 
famous  establishment  in  the  Rue  Ht.  Jacques 
at  Paris.  St.  Swithin. 

The  mixture  of  raisins  and  almonds  was, 
and  probably  is  still,  called  '*  atudoata*

built  of  flint.  In  1773  the  wall  of  the  in- 
terior was  rebuilt  with  bricks  by  the  then 


Alderman  Trecothick.  He  was  twice  married

Misses  Tuker  and  Mallcson  in  their  *  Hand- 
book to  Christian  and  P>clesiastical  Rome,' 
Part  III.,  at  p.  235  write  as  follows  : — 

"  At  a  Chapter  dcnerftl  held  in  I.TII  the  Kuinhta 
rHo«pitJ»llprs  of  St.  Juhn  of  Jerusalem]  wero 
divided  accordiag  to  uatitmaUty.  and  7  tangueg 
or  languagea  were  formed,  viz.,  I.  Proveoce ; 
2.  Auvergne  ;  3.  Franrp  ;  4.  Italy  ;  5.  Aragon  ; 
6,  England;  7.  Qermany.  In  the  next  ceatury 
the  otb  iauifue  waa  subdividcnl,  making  an  8th 
latwite  of  Castile  and  Purtugal. .  .  .Each  lungut* 
had  its  Auberffc  at  the  chef-lieu,  and  each  waa 
roprosentod  in  its  own  country. ..  .The  head  of 
each  lanpue  lived  at  the  Convent,  i.^..  the  chef- 
lieu  at  Khrtdf^s  or  Mallji,  «ud  was  caUed  Cnnventual 
Bailiff;  while  a  Capitular  Bailiff,  onlv  bound  to 
appear  there  lop  a,  ChnpU'r  General,  presided 
[over]  the  langrue  in  his  own  country,  with  the 
title  of  Grand  Prior." 

They  add  in  a  foot-note  tliat  in  England 
the  Grand  Prior  ranked  aa  premier  Baron 
of  the  realm. 

T)ie  Conventual  Bailiffs  (whose  existence 
is  not  recorded  in  tJie  '  N.K.D.'  eitJier  under 

•  Conventual  *  or  *  BaiUff  ')  had  varioiLs  titles, 
Tlmt  of  Provence  waa  styled  Magniia  Com- 
mendtUorius,  grand  commander ;  that  of 
Auvergiie,  MareschaUas,  marshal  ;  that  of 
France,  Magnus  HospiUiiaritis,  grand  hoB- 
pitaller  ;  tliat  of  Italy,  Admiratus,  admiral  ; 
that  of  Aragon,  Lhuperiu^,  or  later  Magnus 
Conservator,  i.e.,  grand  standard  -  Ixwirer  ; 
that  of  England,  Turcopolerius,  or  com- 
mander of  li|5ht  cavalr>' ;  that  of  Germany, 
Magnus  liajuUxms,  grand  baihfF ;  that  of 
Castile,  CanceUarius,  chancellor. 

Thus  the  Tm-copolier  was  the  8ixth  Con- 
ventual BailifT,  and  ok  Huch  the  seventh  of  the 
moat  important  officers  of  the  Order.  Tlie 
Grand  Prior  of  England  ranked  fifteenth. 
It  is  tliereforo  Hurj^riaing  to  read  in  the 
ftrhcle  on  Sir  Richard  Shelley  in  the  '  D.N.B.' 
that  the  Turcopolier  ranked  second  to  the 
^'^(i  Prior,  and  that  on  Sir  Thomas 
3r^ipa/j^U2i  s  death  (which,  as  1  pointed  omI  at 


9  S.  xii.  426,  is  wrongly  stated  to  ha\'e 
occurred  in  1566,  and  actually'  occurred 
8  March.  1658/9)  Sir  Richard  Shelley  suc- 
ceeded him  as  Grand  Prior,  but  foTl>ore  t* 
use  the  title  in  deference  to  the  feelings  of 
Queen  Elizabeth.  Tlio  article  is  inacrurafe 
in  another  respect,  as  I  pointed  out  at  the 
above  reference  ;  so  one  may  without  undue 
presumption  question  the  further  stateraent 
that  on  Sir  Thomas  TresUam's  death  UM^ 
office  of  Turcopolier  was  annexed  to  that  ol 
Grand  Master. 

The  light  cavalry,  of  wluch  tin.'  Turco- 
poher  was  the  nominal  heiid,  were,  ah  tlieir 
name  implies,  sons  of  Turkish  fathers  by 
Christian    mothers    (Tr/jKoirot'Aoi,    or  even 

TLVpKOTTOvXa). 

Who  was  John  Kendall  Virgil,  TuroopoliBr 
under    Innocent    VIII.  T     Has    any   list  of 
Turcofwliera  and  Grand  Priors  of  England 
been  published  with  biographical  details  ? 
John  B.  Wainewbioht. 

According  to  the  pedigrees  in  my  poaM- 
sion.  It  was  Sir  John  Shelley  who  wi* 
Turcopolier  of  the  Order  of  St.  Jolin  and 
Groat  Prior  of  Rliodes.  He  was  killed  at  tht 
famous  flioge  of  Rhodes  in  1522.  Richard  (rf 
Pat<^ham  ?j  was  his  elder  brother,  of  wl 
I  know  nothing  except  that  liis 
extinct  on  the  male  side,  nor  do  I  knoi^ 
date  of  liis  death.  Edward  (of  Wi 
hurst),  his  younger  brother,  from 
I  am  descended,  died  in  1554.  As  E3i3 
succeeded  in  1558,  it  would  appear  thi 
Richard  of  the  modal  must  ha\'e  been 
Iflt^r  generation,  but  I  have  not  liis 
in  my  pedigrees.  The  TurconoUer,  h* 
the  English  branch  of  the  Order,  apj 
have  been  a  sort  of  Foreign  Minister.

Kipling  axd  the  Swastika  (11  S.  ii. 
188,  239,  292).—"  No  Englishman  should  be 
able  to  translate  object-letters  "  ('  Bevond 
the  Pale,'  in  *  Plain  Tales  from  the  Hills  '), 
and  the  series  of  symbols  in  question  is  bo 
much  like  an  object-letter  that  the  same 
rule  applies,  and  explains  the  contributions 
at  p.  23i».  That  these  are  wide  of  the 
mark  is  much  more  certain  than  that  the 
following  hits  tho  bullseye,  since  *'  this 
kind  of  letter  leaves  much  to  instinctive 
knowledge  "  {ubi  tnipra),  and  I  am  not  in 
sympathy  with  tho  latter  -day  Kipling. 
Here,  however,  is  the  attempt  (omitting 
authorities  for  facts  stated) : — 

Tho  elephant,  lotos,  and  right-liand 
swastika  are  in  eonstant  and  varied  use 
among  both  branchos  of  Buddhists,  who 
behove,  e.g.^  that  Buddha  Sakya  -  Muni 
entered  the  womb  of  his  mother  as  a  white 
elephant,  that  he  should  often  be  re[ire- 
aented  hh  seated  in  a  lotos  flower,  and  that 
he  was  bom  with  swastikas  on  his  feet,  Ac. 
But  a  fervent  prayer  of  every  Buddhist 
woman  is  that,  at  her  next  re-incarnation,  she 
bo  bom  a  man.  The  essential  feature  of  the 
flvmbols  sliown  on  the  outside  cover  is, 
therefore,  that  the  swastika  is  ngh1>-handed. 
or  male. 

The   esoteric   message   is   hidden   in    the 

heart  of  the  book,  wliero  the  author's  auto- 

frraph  is  ensigiied  with  a  left-hand  (that  is, 

female)  swoMiku  :  he  would  have  usbeWftve, 


then,  that  though  wliolly  a  man  to  outwarv 
seeming,  he  is  "  but  yet  a  woman  *'  at  heart.

John  Lyly:  Contribution  a  VHUtoire  de  la  Hetiai^- 
9anc€  en  AngMern:  Far  Albert  Feuillcrat. 
(C&mbridge  University  PreM.) 
This  elaborate  French  monop'aph  hna  been  pub- 
lished in  pxc*'llent  stylo  by  the  T'nivcraity  Press 
at  C»inbriilge  and  fully  deacrres  it«  typographical 
honoura.  Pruf.  FeuiU'erat  »  known  for  admirable 
work  on  the  Elizabethan  records  of  the  revels, 
and  in  thes*"  pages  he  haa  given  lu  a  monument 
of  careful  erudition  which  places  hiu).  mth  hifl 
teacher  M.  Legouis,  among  the  iselect  band 
of  foragn  writera  on  English  sutilecte  whom  no 
competent  Engliah  scholar  can  ufrglect.     His  book 

« neither    for    the    dilottanto    nor    the    "  grand 
klic/'   but  for  the  Htiident  who  take*  litv-rapy 
tory  and  hingraphy  seriuuKly.     Yet  it  may  well 
have  abundant  interest  for  nU  who  seek  a  picture 
of  Rlizabethan  lifo  and  manners,  for  the  flrst  part 
Df  it  is  a  patient  and  admirable  effort  to  paint 
Lyly  m  his  habit  aa  lie  lived,  and  nhuw  the  con- 
ditions   of     the    time.       Lyly's    work    is    largely 
I  '*  topical  "  and  ephemeral,  the  autlior  cxplaios  : — 
I      "Je  m*y  suis  efforct^  de  rattachcr  Tayuvre  aux 
'  drc«>atil«nVes  qui  I'ont  fait  naitre  et  d*expHquer 
IHat^r^t    (|u*eUe  pouvait  avoir  pour  lea   geua  du 
XVI»  Bidcle." 

He  inode<<tly  says  that  he  Is  the  leaat  satisfied 
with  this  first  part,  but  he  is  remarkably  successful 
hi  his  use  of  the  varied  Qurlleii  concerning  a 
period  in  which  memoirs  wore  not  In  fashion,  and 
•cand&l  about  the  Ctuirt  was  not  permitted  by 
its  masterful  mistress. 

Lyly,  who   bore  a   name   famous   in  nrholojitin 
circles,  was  not  him*te[f  a  man  of  exact  classical 
rraditioQ.  but  somothiu>;  of  n  pedant.     Above  all, 
he  was,   as   the   Pi^tfessor  says,   an   "  arriviatc." 
and  it  wa»  fn  the  fourt  that  he  arrived.      At.  Ox- 
ford, then  more  an  appanage  of  the  t'ourt  than  a 
nursery  of  sound  learning,  he  sought  promotion 
from  riurghley.     Failing  in  bis  rather  impudent 
I  demandA.    he    departed    to    I^ondon,    and    again 
UBtlgbt    the   miniflter's  atf^ontion.      f(ui  Ifurghley 
^^Eb  a  severe  moralist.  nn>i  Lyly's  genuineness  in 
^^^^  respect  was  uo  d')ubt  not  oonviucing.     HJs 
^Kt  book  contained  sly  hits  at  Oxford,  and  he 
^^fc»ine  M.A.  of  Cambridge.     lie  did  not  seek  a 
^■^WT  in  thither  Fniverrtity,  hut  an  eanier  life  in  the 
MTvice   of   the    Earl    of    Oxford — an   odd    master 
for   a   moralist,    and    a   great   supporter   of   the 
ttieatre.     Lyly  began  to  write  comedies,  succeeded 
in  diverting  the  Queen,  and  his  fnrtime  seemed 
nude.     But    he   wa«   extravagant   and    thriftless. 
The  tide  of  hlH  pof)uIarity  turneil  one  day,  and 
henceforth  we  find  him,  like  another  lugubrious 
Ovid,  seeking  in  vain  to  reinstate  himself,  applying 
for    Court    favours   with    no  result-     lie    bad    no 
"  ifrand  public  "       he  wn:»te  ff>r  the  C'oart,   and 
tUi  part  of  his  theme  the  author  works  out  with 
excellent  judgment.     Wo  naturally   look   to  see 
what   Es  iiaid  of   l^yly's  influence  on  the  greatest 
writer  of  the  day.      It  is  partly  true  Ut  say  that 
ipcare'B  rise  may  have  been  the  cause  of 
leoline.  but  one  must  look  closer  :— 
id  on  dit  que  Shakspcre  a  ^clips^  Ly1y< 
que  constnter  sotis  une  forme  quasiment 
|ue    la    n^ volution    qui    s'^tait    arconiplle 
goOts  du    public  anelais,  revolution  qui 
avait  Mffldu  Shakspero  possible  et  qui  i^tait  elle- 


mfmc  due  k  une  traoaformation  essentieUe  de  la 
soci^t*  anglaise  k  la  fin  du  XVP  aificle." 

At  the  end  of  that  century  there  was  something 
greater  than  a  maaterful  queen  :  there  was  an 
Kngland  which  made  its  vigour  felt  in  wonderfut 
enterprine,  a  new  nation  with  an  "  ivresse 
patriotique."  That  England  made  itself  felt 
in  letters  ols  in  war.     In  15H8 

"  La  mode  n'eat  plus  d^ormais  aux  cuuvrca  qui 
flatient  les  guAU  d'un  coterie  rafflnt^e.  mais  A

du  pays  tout  entier.  lrf«  t'crivains  nrLstocratiqueft

veaux  venua  partagcnt  les  pojulons  du  peup)i> 
doDt  lis  sont  sortis,  et  Us  savent  les  satisfaire. 
Si  parfois  ils  recberchent  les  applaudissenioDts 
ou  le  patronage  dee  grands,  c'eet  par  bcsoiu. 
et  on  tout  cas  ils  u'tfcrlvent  jamais  exclusivement 
pour  cette  minorit<S." 

The  people's  literature  was  the  better  :  we 
do  not  place  '  Henry  VIII.'  and  '  The  Merry 
Wives  of  Windsor'  high  In  the  list  of  KHzabethan 
drama. 

These  ronclufiions  form,  we  think,  the  most 
interesting  section  of  thiH  line  monopraph  ;  but  in 
the  critical  discusaitm  uf  Lyly's  work  and  style,  and 
In  abundant  "places  justiflcativcs,"  the  book  is 
at  ODCO  exhaustive  and  masterly.  There  is  even 
a  special  appeniHx  on  '  T-.yly  et  <")vide,'  with  the 
Latin  lines  occunyjng  half  tlie  page. 

To  give  any  idea  within  modest  limtta  of  a  work 
with  its  Index  occupying  some  flflO  pages  is  dillt- 
cult,  but  we  hope  we  have  soid  sufflcirnt  to  com- 
iTjf^nd  our  author  to  the  notice  of  all  Elizabet^han 
students.  His  French  is  a  model  of  lucidity, 
and  doubly  grateful  after  the  congested  style 
which  is  too  often  the  handicap  of  the  leameil. 
Lyly  stands  revealed  to  iis,  rutting  rather  a  poor 
flKurc,  if  the  truth  must  be  told,  but  of  |>erennial 
interest  as  the  most  advanced  c5xponent  of 
euphuism,  a  style  in  which  the  very  redundance^r 
nnd  quirks  of  a  blazoning  pen  please  us  against 
our  better  judgment. 

IJiMtrrni  of  Hfedirrval  Cii'ilhaliori  and  of  Modem 
to  Ihr  End  oi  the  Scventeenlh  Century.  By 
Charles  Heignobos.  (Fisher  I^nwin.) 
Tms  translation  of  the  well-known  French  scholar's 
work  is  remarkably  cheap,  and  should  have  a  wide 
cireulfttion.  As  a  lively  and  learned  summary, 
the  book  forms  an  admirable  foundation  fnp  htudy. 
The  French  are  unequnlhnl  in  their  jwiwer  c»f  giving" 
a  brief  and  effective  picture  of  history  or  religion,. 
and  th«  reader  must  be  dull  who  does  not  appre- 
ciate this  illuminating  account,  to  which  at  tht- 
end  are  added  tlie  '  Referenci>a  for  Supplementary 
Reading  *  for  which  wo  often  plead. 

Mrssrs.  IjONomav  liave  brought  out  an 
authorixed  cheap  edition  of  Lecky's  ffinlory  of

in  one  volume  instead  of  two.  For  half-a-crnwn 
the  rca<ier  can  secure  a  l>ook  full  of  deeply  interest- 
ing matter.  lt«  title,  perhaps,  militated  with 
some  readere  in  earlier  days  against  its  perusal. 
but  this  ouRht  no  longer  to  be  so.  The  first 
chapter.  '  On  Maelc  and  Witehcraft,*  phrmld  be 
sufficient  to  lure  the  reader  on  to  further  investiga- 
tions of  matters  of  vital  importance  fo-day,  and 
frequently  misunderstood  by  the  many  who 
do  not  know  how  deeply  all  life  is  affected  by 
survivals  in  culture.

TENNYSONTANA. 


^BftTACter    in    Tennyson's    '  Juvenilia '    waa 
PVEonded  on  an  origiaal  known  to  the  poet, 
aa  appears  from  the  not«  in  Lord  Tennyson^a 
"Everaley  Edition"  (i.  344):— 

"  This  man  was  a  very  plausible,  parliament* 
like,  and  M-lf-satislled  speaker  at  the  Union 
Debating  Society." 

The  same  authority  has  a  similarly  worded 
reference  in  the  *  lafe '  of  his  father  (i.  37) 
to  **  the  thon  woU -known  Cambridge  orator 
S —  ■*  as  "  partly  described  in  the  poem." 

The  following  appears  in  Grant  Duffs 
*  Notes  from  a  Diary  *  : — 

"  Sundprland  sat  fur  thia  '  Character/  a  most 
«>xtraordinar>'  and  hrilliani  person  who  lost  bla 
MoaoD.  and  vntled.  I  have  boen  told,  in  believing 
hJmscU  to  be  the  Aluuiiht  j ." 

Thackeray  (who,  like  FitzGorald.  waa  not> 
I  believe,  in  TennyBon*8  set  at  Cambridge) 
l>ear8  independent  evidence  to  the  brilliance  of 


Sunderland,  for  '  Pendennis  *  ('*  Biographical 
Edition/'  p.  xxiv)  has  the  following  extract 
of  liifl  writing  : — 

"  The  hero  of  the  Union  retired  with  a  dimin- 
ished head  before  Cookealy.  Hia  namt*  ia  Bunder- 
land,  and  be  is  certainly  a  moat  duliRhtful  Bpoaker. 
but  he  JB  too  fond  of  treating  ua  witli  drauRbU  ut 
Tom  Paine." 

What  fiu-ther  notices  are  there  of  tliis 
evidently  remarkable  man  7  He  is  not  in 
Mr.  Boase'a  admirable  *  Modem  English 
Biography,'  and  perhaps  died  before  1850. 

2.  '  Recollections  of  the  Arabian  Nights,* 
I3fi:— 

Heroni»  with  argt.*ut-lidded  eroa. 
Cf.  Keats,  '  Eve  of  St.  Agnes/  xxx.  : — 
And  ^tiU  ahu  slept  an  argent-lidded  sleep. 

3.  '  Love  and  Death,*  first  line  : — 
What  time  the  uUgbty  moon  was  gathering  light. 
Cf.  Virgil,  Goopgic  i.  427  :— 

Luna  rovertcntea  cum  primuui  cuUigit  ignes. 

4.  *  The  Mermaid/  ui.  :— 

In  tbe  purple  twilights  under  the  sea. 

Cf.  SchiUer's  '  Der  Taucher  '  (*  The  Diver') 

Denn  unter  mir  leffs  nocb  bergotief 
In  purpumer  Finsternitf  dn. 

Schiller  wrote  to  Korner  defending  the 
colour.  Dr.  Buchheim  adds  in  liis  ^litioa 
of  '  Balladen  und  Komanzen/  p.  303 : 
"  It  is  conjectured  that  the  poet  owed  tba 
optical  information  to  Goethe/' 

5.  ^  Mariana  in  the  South  *  : — 

LATgc  Ucspcr  glitter'd  on  bcr  teora. 

Cf,  Keats,  *  Hyperion,*  Book  Et.  6  :— 

Where  no  ioaultiog  light 
Could  glimnifr  on  their  toafs. 

6.  '  The  Vision  of  Sin/  iv.  :— 

Drink  t*j  lifavy  Ignoranct?  ! 
Cf.  Shakespeare,  Sonnet  Ixxviii.  : — 
And  heavy  ignorance  aioft  to  Hy. 

7.  *  The  Eagle  *  :— 

He  clasps  the  crag  with  crooked  bonds. 
Rather  a   bold  personification  of  an  eagle. 
I  have  sometimes  thought  it  may  have  been 
suggested  by  tlie  vision  of  Palinurus  (Virg., 
^-i£.,' vi.  360), 

Prenaantemque     uncis     monibas    capita     asiwra 
moutia. 

I  put  forward  those  parallols  as  being  of 
interest,  but  make  no  suggestion  of  deliberate 
copying  on  Tennyson's  part.  Similar  notes 
are  given  in  Lord  Tennyson's  **  Eversley 
Edition.**  There  is  abundant  evidence  of 
Tennyson's  knowledge  and  use  of  Shake- 
speare throughout  his  work,  but  most 
passages  of  the  sort  have  now  been  aoxvotBAAd.

ARCHITECTURE'S   DISTINGinSHED 
DESERTERS. 

I  HATE  been  struck  from  time  to  time  with 
the  fact  that  quite  an  apprwiable  number 
of  prominent  men  have  made  wliat  must 
be  regarded  as  an  initial  error  by  startinp 
their  careers  in  architects'  offices,  sooner 
or  later  to  discover  that  their  talents 
lay  in  otJier  directions.  The  following  is  the 
be«t  list  1  can  now  prepare  in  support  of  my 
statement,  but  I  feel  sure  that  it  must  be 
very  incomplete,  and  could  be  much  ex- 
tended by  readers  of  *  N.  &  Q.'  : — 

Thomas  Hardy,  the  nurvlist ;  articled  to  tui 
ecclesiastical  architert,  1K50  ;  practiced  Oitthic 
architecture  under  Sir  Arthur  UIoinHHd,  A.U.A., 
1802-7  ;  prlzpnian  of  Hoyal  Institute  of  JSritisb

as  a  land  surveyor  aud  architect  fruiu  1838

Sir  James  Knowlen,  founder,  editor,  and  pro-

architectural  worlu.  and  wm  a  Fellow  of  the 
Royal  In8titut«  of  Britiith  Arcbiteot*i. 

James  Ward,  Professor  of  Mental  l*hili»(ophy  in  the 
University  ot  ("ambridRe,  and  a  iin>st  <li»tin- 
guiehed  thinker  ;  was  urtirled  when  young  to 
a  Arm  of  architects  In  Liverpool. 

T-  li.  Hall  C'aiue,  novelist  ;  said  to  have  been 
'•  bpoxight  up  AB  an  arrhitect,  never  practised, 
but  wrote  in  Builder,  The  Building  Nett-s,  &c.*' 

Aubrey  Heardttley,  artist  ;  started  hla  caro>cr  by 
spending  a  short  time  in  an  architect's  office. 

Frederick  Harrison,  actor,  lessee  of  Haynjarket 
Theatre  ;  studied  architecture  under  Norman 
Shaw.  K.A. 

Leslie  Ward,  caricaturist,  belter  known  as  "  Spy  " 
of  Vani^  Fair ;  studied  nrchit-ccture  under 
Sydney  Smirke.  K.A.,  and  has  exhibited 
arrhit-ectnral  drawings  at  the  Royal  Academy. 

T,  .Mullett  Ellis,  poet  and  novelist ;  founder  arid 
editor  of  The  Thrush  ;  took  a  first  priie  in  arcUi- 
tccture  at  Nottingham  ;  practised  the  pro- 
fession for  fifteen  years,  and  isi  an  A»sociato 
of  the  Royal  Institute  of  British  Architects. 

James  Marshal]  Mather,  well-known  Noncon- 
forniwt  minister  and  author  ;  articled  to  a  firm 
of  architert*!  in  Lincoln. 

John     Fulleylove,     K.I.,     water-colour     painter

AJf*TABder  Kocbe,  R.S.A.,  painter  ;  "  started  as  an

John    Chambers     (1780-1839),     bio^aphcr    oad 

commentator  ;  started  in  an  architect's  oflire. 
The  obituary  notices  of  Sir  William  Ptrkin.  r.R.S.^ 

discoverer  of  aniline  d>'ee.  stated  that  bis  father 

wanted  him  to  be  an  architect. 

I  tiiink  the  above  list  is  sufficiently  re 
markable,  for.  though  some  of  Iho  persona 
enumerated  can  scarcely  bo  c^led  v«y 
distinguished,  others  are  of  first  omintnr«> 
Architecture  is  not  like  one  of  the  learned 
professions,  to  whicli  are  attracted  men  of 
great  intellectual  ability  :  for  no  father  with 
a  brilliant  son  would  think  of  putting  him 
in  an  architect's  office.  A  taate  for  drawing 
is  probably  the  conunonest  cause  of  youth* 
tfutering  tlie  profession  ;  and  this  account* 
for  my  list  containing  a  good  many  arti«t& 
But  it  will  be  noticed  that  the  most  eminwit 
men  in  the  list  (with  the  exceptionlof 
Aubrey  Beardslev)  have  won  distinction  in 
subjects  absolutely  remote  from  architecture; 
and  it  therefore  seems  as  though  clumof 
alone  Imd  led  them  into  the  profession. 

It  is  diflRcult  to  say  whether  it  is  a  list  of 
which  architects  should  bo  proud — whetlier 
they  should  boast  that  such  eminent  men 
have  been  associated  with  the  profeeaion, 
or  weep  because  it  has  been  unable  to  retain 
them.  Aley^  I.vell  Headb.

INSCRIPTION'S   m  THE  KIKG'S 
CHAPEL.  GIBRALTAR. 

Kino's  Chapel  is  part  of  the  ancient  c 
of  the  Franciscan  monastery,  now  tbo 
denCB  of  the  <jrc>vernor.  One  menu 
No.  38,  alone  remains  of  the  period  befofti 
the  British  occupation.  The  inscrijitioo 
i^  in  capitals,  and  the  words  run  one  into  fht' 
other  with  few  spacea  or  st-ops.  The  word 
contracted  into  den*  in  the  last  lun*  wi>"M 
seem  to  be  ofjuivalent  to  tshe  FrencJi  dtnitf- 
The  contractions  following  it  I  would  «• 
t^nd  as  Santa  de  la  Madre  de  Dioa.  fkl; 
8Cu|[)tor    was    evidently    pressed    for 

at  the  bottom  of  the  stone,  so  that  the  .^ 

four  linos  had  to  be  in  smaller  charwrttft, 
and  the  concluding  dos  bad  to  be  sque«»d 
into  .still  smaller  letters.  It  aIso  looks  as  if 
something,  such  as  XI.  onit^rMrvM.  had

fulins  Cnwar.'  " 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  Kinfaludy  has  not 
Craiulated  anything  from  Shakespi'are's 
works.  Thp  blunder  is  put  right  in  the 
•  Bibliography  '  {p.  472),  where  it  ia  correctly 
stated  that  a  Hungarian  translation  of 
Shakespeare  was  publistied  by  tlie  Kis-

piler of  the  '  Bibliography  *  in  his  turn 
understates  the  share  of  Alexander  Petdfi 
in  the  work  when  he  asseft^  that  **  some 
translations  of  8cenes,  notably  from  *  Romeo

"Est.  Est.  Est.'*— In  tlie  church  of  8, 
Flaviano  at  Montefiascone  in  Italy  one  raav 
see  figured  in  tlm  pavement  before  the  high 
altar  of  the  lower  church  a  goblet  with  tlie 

inscription  : — 

EST.   KST.    RST.   TR.  KIM.    EST.   HIC 
lO   DE   VO    l>0   MBUS  MORTCS   EST. 

In  Baedeker's  *  Central  Italy*  (ed.  1904), 
p.  97,  the  abbrovintions  are  expanded  a<->  lis 
to  make  the  following  sense  : — 

EST.  EHT.  >2*T.     l*ropter  Nimiuui  Eat  Hie 
Joannes  I>e  Vo  IX)inintis  Mcus  Mortuus  Est. 

A  story  is  told  in  Murray  and  Baedeker 
which  is  supposed  to  explain  these  mysterious 
words.  A  prelate  who  was  a  lover  of  wine 
sent  a  courier  before  him  to  mark  the  word 
'*  Est  '*  on  the  gate  of  every  town  where 
good  wine  was  to  be  found.  At  Monto- 
fiaflcone  the  wine  was  so  excellent  that  the 
courier  wrote  *'  Est.  Est.  Est.*'  The  canon 
on  hia  arrival  found  tlie  praise  true,  and, 
not  going  any  further,  drank  so  much  tliat 
he  died  of  tlie  excess. 

Murray  says  that  tJie  inscription  ia  over 
the  grave  of  Johann  Fugger,  Cancm  of 
Augsburg.  In  the  '  Encyclopaedia  Briian- 
nica  '  {Tifnes  ed.,  xxx.  817)  Johann  Fugger 
is  referred  to  as  a  bishop.  One  would  like 
to  know  whether  the  story  has  any  liis- 
toricsJ  basis,  and  whether  there  ia  docu- 
mentary evidence  for  connecting  a  member 
of  the  Fugger  family  with  tlie  story  or  tho 
inscription.  A.    L.    Mayhbw.

Krmr  Fisheb  aitd  '  The  Belle's  Strata- 
OFM.' — Joseph  Knight,  who  was  one  of  tlio 
most  loArned  and  acciirato  biographors  of 
the  stage,  tolls  as  in  his  laonogroph  upon 
Kitty  Fisher  in  tho  '  Dictionary  of  National 
Bioffraphy  '  that  "  the  character  of  Ivittv 
Willis  m  Mrs.  Cowley's  '  The  Belle's  StraU- 
gem '  is  taken  from  Kitty  Fisher."  It  is 
oertain,  however,  that  the  character  is  very 
untrue  to  life.  Ivitty  Willis  is  a  vague, 
indistinctive  personage,  and  the  real  Kitty 
never  would  have  lent  horaolf  to  the  subter- 
fuge in  wliich  Kitty  Willis  is  induced  to  act 
a  part.  Kitty  Fisher  hod  boon  dead  for 
fifteen  years  when  *  Tho  Belle's  Stratagem  * 
was  produced,  and  was  probably  forgotten 
by  the  generation  of  playgoers  who  attended 
the  first  (jerformonces  of  Mrs.  Cowley's 
comedy.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the 
author,  who  waa  twenty-four  years  of  age 
when  Kitty  Fisher  died,  did  not  show  her  to 
us  aa  she  really  was.  She  was  worthy  of 
a  beiter  part,  and  a  great  character  for  Mrs. 
Abington  might  havo  been  provided.

Suoh  is  the  title-page  of  the  sole  volume 
of  a  periodical  not  included  in  the  list  of  works 
appended  to  the  notice  of  Charles  Hutton  in 
the  '  D.N.B.*  The  book  is  not  scarce, 
but  I  have  never  seen  a  copy  that  has  pro- 
ser\'ed  tlio  original  covers  of  the  parta.  givmg, 
I  presmue,  the  dates  of  issue.  These  dates 
I  am  desirous  to  ascertain.  Tbey  axe  not 
noted  in  Mr.  T.  T.  Wilkinson's  short  account 
of  the  periodical  [Mechanics'  Magazine, 
22  January,  1848,  p.  83).  From  internal 
evidence  there  seem  to  liavo  been  thirteen 
issues.  Tlie  collation  of  the  volume  is 
B— E«,  n  O— K«.  L\  M— T«,  U•^  X— Hh«, 
li  =pp.  342-|-[2],  with  pp.  iv  of  title  and 
contenta.  The  fiirst  i>art  has  the  caption 
heading  *  A  New  Matnematical  Miscellany, * 
but  tliis  is  not  repeated  in  later  issues.  The 
part«,  however,  may  be  identified  as  includ- 
ing pp.  1-24,  25-52,  53-76,  77-104,  105-28, 
129-62,  163-76,  177-204,  205-28,  229-62, 
263-76,  277-300,  301-44.  From  references 
on  pp.  68,  166,  267,  the  magazine  seems  to 
have  been  also  styled  Th^  (ienl/«fnan*»  and 
Ladies*  Miscellany. 

Lowndes  says  of  the  Miscellanea  Afalhe- 
matica  :  "  This  forma  the  sixth  and  con- 
cluding volume  of  the  preceding  work  [The 
'  Diarian  Miscellany,'  I-ond.,  1775,  6  vols.]." 
Apart  from  the  date  on  the  title-page,  I  find 
nothing  to  suggest  this  statomont,  and  the 
difloovery  of  the  date  of  the  first  iiidue  of  the 
Misceilanca  would  probably  definitely  dis- 
prove it  (cf.  Heliqttary,  xi.  201).  The 
Diarian  Miscellany '  was  itself  not  a 
periodical,  but  a  reprint  of  selected  portions 
of  the  '  Ladies'  Diary  '  from  1704  to  1773. 

The  account  of  Hutton  in  the  '  D.N.B.' 
contains  a  curious  blmider.  It  calls  liia  son 
llenry  (lieutenant-general,  and  compiler  of 
a  MS.  *  Monaaticon  Scotiad')  Oeorge  Henry, 
and  says  that  in  1801  he  founded  thirteen 
bursaries  and  a  prize  in  Aberdeen  L^ni- 
voraitv.  The  benefactor  of  King's  College, 
AbordE>en,  was  an  altogether  different  George 
Hutton,  regarding  whom  I  am  anxious  to 
obtain  certain  information.  He  was  born 
about  1734,  a  lu&tive  of  Perthsliire  ;  gra- 
duated M.A.  at  King's  College  iu  1753,  and 
died  9  June,  1807,  at  Deptford,  "  where  he 
had  realized  above  SO.OOW.  while  master  of 
an  Academy  "  {Qent.  Mag,,  Ixxvii.  684 ; 
Sects  Mag.,  Ixix.  957).  Hia  intention  was 
that  King's  College  should  inherit  the  bulk 
of  his  property,  but  tliis  was  frustrated  by 
the  Mortmain  Act,  I  wish  to  obtain  details 
of  Hutton's  career  between  1753  and  1807. 
Possibly  a  tombstone  may  be  extant  in 
Deptford.  A  sister  was  mother  of  the  Rev,

MRS.    BURR.    PAINTER. 

(US.  ii.  268.) 

Thk  ortistifl  InHy  of  this  name  who  travelled 
in  Turkey  and  Kp>'pt  about  tlie  middle  of  the 
last  century,  and  is  inquired  for  at  the  above 
reference,  was  Mrs.  Higford  Burr. 

She  was  the  only  daughter  of  Capt. 
Edward  Scobell,  R.N.  (a  member  of  the 
West-Country  family  of  that  name),  who 
died  at  Poltair,  Madron,  ou  17  April,  1825. 
Her  mother  was  Ann,  daught<^r  of  Richard 
Collins,  a  distinguiahed  miniature  painter 
(memoir  in  *D.N.B.')  who  lived  for  some 
time  at  Alverton  Cottage,  Penzance.  From 
her  grandfatlwr  came  her  lovo  of  art. 

Her  Christian  names  wero  Ann  Margaretta, 
and  she  was  born  at  Poltair.  On  18  Sep- 
tember, 1839.  she  married  at  Marylebone 
Parish  Church  Daniel  Higford  Davall  Burr, 
son  of  Lieut. -General  Daniel  Burr  by  his 
second  wife  (whom  he  married  in  1808),  Mary, 
one  of  the  daughters  and  coheiresses  of  James 
Davies  of  Chepstow,  and  a  descendant  of  the 
families  of  Higford  and  Scudamore.  Ptili- 
grees  of  these  families  are  in  Duncumb's 
Herefordshire,'  iu.  38.  173.  The  fortime 
of  the  Burrs  came  from  commerce  ;  under 
the  Tudors  they  were  merchanta  in  Tendon, 
trading  with  the  Netherlands. 

Mr.  Burr  was  educated  at  Eton  and 
Clu-ist  Church.  Oxford,  but  apparently  did 
not  take  a  degree.  From  1836  to  1841 
he  was  resident  owner  of  Gayton  House. 
Upton  Bisliop.  CO.  Hereford,  and  from  1837 
Uy  1841  was  M.P.  in  the  Conservative  interest 
fr>r  the  city  of  Hereford.  At  the  general 
election  ho  stood  again,  but  was  badly 
beaten,  tho  two  Liberal  candidates  bein'g 
men  of  oxeeptional  influence  and  position. 
Ho  thereupon  disposed  of  his  estate  in  that 
county  and  pun-hosed  Aldermast-on  Court 
in  Berkshire,  a  beautiful  estato  surrounded  by 
beautiful  scenery.  The  modern  Elizabethan 
niansion  was  built  by  Hardcastlo  for  him 
m  1851,  but  it  contains  the  most  interesting 
portions  (the  roof,  the  stoircase.  and  the 
painted  glass)  of  the  old  house  which  was 
destroyed    by    fire    in    1843.      The    park   is 

•Sf  i?*^  ^^  extent.  cout4iining  1.000  acres. 
^^  Mr.    Burr   protected    the   common   snake. 

and  as  he  paid  6d.  apiece  for  live  specimens, 

the    country    poople    collected    them    and 

brought  them  to  liim  by  sookfuls  at  a  time  " 

(Murray,  '  Berkshire,'  1002  od.,  p.  50). 

Higford  Burr  contested  Salisbury  in  July, 

J^^S,   Had   Abingdon   inJ.December,   l%52, 


Imt  without  suceess.  He  was  Sheriff  of 
Berkshire  in  1851.  He  died  at  23,  Katon 
Place,  I^ondon,  on  29  November,  18S5 
The  issue  of  the  marriage  was  four  sons, 
the  eldest  of  whom  assumed  tJio  name  of 
Higford  (Burke,  'Landed  Gentry.'  11th  ed.). 
A  drawing  by  Mrs.  Higford  Burr,  as  she 
was  usually  called,  of  *  The  Giotto  Chapel 
Padua,'  was  chromolithograplwd  for  tho 
.Arundel  Society  in  1856;   and  one  by  her  of 

*  The  Virgin  and  Cliild,  from  a  freeoo  bj 
Ott.  Nelli  at  Gubbio,'  in  Umbria.  was  also 
chromolithographed  for  tliat  Society  id 
1867  (' BibliothecA  Coniub..'  iu.  1107).  In 
1846  she  brought  out  a  portfolio  of  aketchoA. 
She  and  her  husband  travelled  much  with 
Sir  J.  Gardner  Wilkinson.  Warm  acknow- 
ledgments of  liis  indobtednoaa  to  them  for 
enabling  him  to  see  in  their  yacht  "so 
quickly "  many  of  tlio  interesting  placM 
in  the  Mediterranean  are  made  in  the 
preface  to  his  *  Dalmatia  and  Montenegro.' 
vol.  i.  p.  via.  The  intimate  knowledge  of 
Italian  possessed  by  Mrs.  Higford  Bun 
enabled  ner,  ho  adds,  "  to  afTord  me  much 
valuable  assistanoe.  I  am  indoV^ted  to  hsr 
for  tho  liistorv  of  the  Ubdocs  from  Minuod 
and  Fra  Paolo  ;  tho  diaries  of  1571  ind

As  an  accomplished  lady  poBseaed  of 
ample  means,  Mrs.  Higford  Burr  was  lor 
many  years  a  well-known  figure  in  a  leadinl 
section  of  London  society.  She  died  •*

excellent  Dutch  pictures,  which  came  to 
Jeremy  Taylor's  wife  Joanna  Bridges  along 
with  the  portraits  of  Charles  I.  and  Joanna 
herself.  The  portrait  of  Jeremy  Taylor 
by  Cornelius  Janaaea  was  presented  to  All 
Souls  College,  Oxford,  by  Mr.  aarke,  J.P., 
of  Klmwood,  Belfast,  some  50  years  ago, 
the  College  supplying  Mr.  Clarke  with  a  copy 
of  the  original.  The  families  of  Clarke,  Wilson, 
Bruce,  and  others  still  exist,  much  respected 
in  the  neighboinrhood  of  Lisbum  and  Bel- 
fast,  all  being  descended  from  Mrs.  Jones, 
the  daughter  of  Jeremy  Taylor,  Bishop  of 
Dromore. 

It  is  hardly  fair  to  call  Jeremy  Taylor's 
second  wife  the  iUegUimaie  daughter  of 
Charles  I.  {ante,  p.  258).  Charles,  wTien  very 
yoxmg,  married  tlu3  daughter  of  a  country 
clergyman,  Joaiuia  Bridges's  motiier.  For 
reasons  of  State,  this  marriage  was  auuulled. 
She  brought  some  fortune  and  the  pictures 
named  above,  to  Jeremy  Taylor,  who  waa 
made  Bishop  of  Dromore  at  the  Restoration. 
Mr.  Jones  wrote  a  memoir  of  the  circum-

I  find  there  were  five  daughters  (not  four). 
Sarah  was  the  eldest,  and  I  put  her  husband

During  the  fifties  of  last  century  numerous 
Shakespearian  discoveries  were  profcfisedly 
made.  On  careful  investigfttion,  however, 
not  a  few  of  them  proved  to  be  nothing 
more  than  clever  fabricAtions.  The  alleged

to  Jiave  fulfilled  t)»e  expectations  of  the

L  attention.  There  ia,  of  course,  nothing 
f  incredible  in  early  editions  of  Shakespeare 
being  found  in  Switzerland  ;  but  the  an- 
nouncement in  The  Ari  Journal  is  discredited 
on  the  face  of  it.  It  must  have  been  news

(11  S.  i.  r>08;  ii.  36,  115,  231).— Mr.  I'dal 
says  that  an  elonhant  and  castle  was  borne 
as  a  crest,  and  also  refers  to  Dr.  Woodward, 
who  dcBcribes  the  elephant's  head  (?)  as  the 
crest  of  the  Matatest-as  of  Rimini. 

I  doubt  if  the  orablazonmont  of  an 
elephant  dates  so  far  back  as  Dante's  Paolo 
Malateata  and  Francosea  da  Rimini  (l'J8.5). 
but  I  iKHisess  a  delicate  drawing  (sketched  by 
my  old  friend  Reginald  Barrett  in  1887) 
of  a  splendid  Renaissance  medal  ordered  to 
be  struck  by  Sigismondo  (of  the  same 
valiant  race)  in  honour  of  his  wife  Isotta, 
who  was  one  of  the  most  remarkable  women 
of  hor  time.  The  original  medal  by  the 
great  artist  Mattoo  de  Paatis,  datecl  a.d. 
1446,  is  in  the  Siena  Library,  and  bears  the 
Malatesta  device  of  a  full-grown  elephant 
on  the  reverse.     The  elephant  iias  no  trap- 

fings  or  harness  of  any  kind,  but  is  quite 
are,  and  drawn  with  large  ears,  trunk,  and 
tusks  au  naturel.  Isotta,  who  has  a  fif- 
teenth-century head-dress,  is,  says  the 
inscription,  "  in.  beauty  and  virtue  the 
honour  of  Italy.'*  Wtlijam  Merger. 

'Heraldry   Ancient  and  Modern'    (1898), 
by  S.  T.  Aveling,  gives  tlie  elephant  as  one 
of  the  crests  of  Parkington  and  as  the  dexler 
supporter  of  the  arms  of  the  Earl  of  Powis. 
Alfred  Cha9.  Jonas. 

With  reference  to  Mr.  Udal's  remark 
that  Dr.  Woodward  gives  only  one  instance 
in  heraldry  of  an  elephant's  head  as  a  crest — 
that  of  the  Malatestas  of  Rimini — I  may 
draw  his  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
older  of  the  crests  of  Sir  Nicholas  WiUiam.

Pl-AjrrAOEKET     TOBCBS     AT     FONTEVRAUXT 

(M  S.  ii.  184.  223.  *278,  332).— 1  should  be 
extremely  glad  of  inforioation  as  to  bow  and 
when  the  plaster  casts  of  these  tombe  in  the 
Cry^lAl  rtvUice  were  made.  Some  years  ago 
I  wrote  to  the  then  Secretary  of  the  Palace 
asking  for  information  on  these  pointa,  but 
ho  WAS  imable  to  give  it.  Tlj©  Curator  of  the 
Mus6o  do  Sculpture  Compart  in  Paris  was, 
however,  certain  that  matrices  h«i  never 
been  made  direct  from  the  eflBgiea  at  Fonte- 
vrault.  Had  this  boon  done,  there  would 
have  been  an  official  record  of  the  fact,  and 
it  also  seems  probable  that  the  French 
Government  would  have  obtained  replicas  of 
the  casts  for  its  own  national  collection. 

It  is  many  years  since  I  saw  the  ca«t8  at 
tlie  Crj'stal  Palace,  and  mj'  recollection  is  tliat 
tliey  were  wonderfully  accurate  reproduc- 
tions ;  but  of  course,  from  a  documentary 
point  of  view,  it  makes  all  the  difference  in 
tlieir  value  if  they  are  merely  clever  models 
after  the  originals,  and  not  actual  casta 
from  matrices  made  from  the  effigies  at 
Fontevrault.  Walter  S.  Coboeb. 

Oatcake  axd  Whisky  as  Euchabistic 
Ei*BMao-T9  (II  S.  ii.  188,  237,  278).— I  have 
been  unable  to  find,  either  by  research  or 
direct  inquiry,  that  oatcako  and  whisky  were 
ever  used  regularly  in  Scotland  for  the 
P»»yoso  refeired  to.  That  thf^y  were  so 
used  on  occasion,  or  in  an  emergency  (as  on 
the  field  of  CiilIoden).is.  however,  not  at  all 
improbable.  I  am  informed  tliat  short-

least  one  pariah  m  Galloway.  1 ,  V .  "D ,

In  575  St.  Goar,  tiie  hermit,  did  the  same.

the      autograph     sale     catalogues     in     the

Parisian   auction*TOoms   since  the  death   of 

I         the    great    actor.     The    French    autograph

Autograph  letters  of  David  Garrick  to 
French  Protestants  have  been  picked  up 
for  nominal  sums  in  the  curiosity  shops  in 
Holland  and  Belgium.  A  friend  of  my 
uncle  (the  late  A.  L.  de  Temaat,  manager  of 
the  Marseilles  branch  of  the  Eaatem  Tele- 
graph Company)  many  j'ears  ago  wrote  and 
had  printed  for  private  circulation  (about 
60  copies)  a  pamplUot  of  some  30  pages 
dealing  with  Garrick's  friendship,  philan- 
thropy, and  coimexion  with  French  Pro- 
testants. The  author  asserted  that  the 
flench  Garrick  (originally  do  la  Garriqixo) 
family  were  related  by  marriage  to  the 
Huguenot  families  of  Labouchero,  Mortinoau, 
Folkard.  and  Fonblanquo,  who  settled  in 
England  owing  to  Louis  XIV. 's  perseculionst. 
I  cannot  at  the  present  moment  recall  the 
nmue  of  the  author  of  *  Garrick  et  les

it  disappeared,  however,  with  other  paper-

"  misereres."  They  import  a  welcome  element 
of  humour  and  everyday  humanity  into  the 
austoritiea  of  artliitcrtiirAl  siKhl-tw^injIr.  It  is  not 
vfxny  to  assign  the  rvaiton  why  the  reversed  aide 
of  these  versatile  seaU  should  have  been  recog> 
nized  aa  the  appropriate  place  for  letting  the 
gToteeqne  Bpirit  of  caricature  and  satiro  run

Bptrits  generally.  Nowhere  else,  at  all  evonta.  do 
the  monstrous  and  grotesque  revel  no  freely  as 
here.  It  may  be  that  the  coarse  mnrkery  of  the

the  olaim  of  the  iKlitlon  to  do  a  standard  one

an^  idea  of  the  finality  of  his  work,  hut  we  do  not 
think  it  will  be  improvod  in  any  essential  respects 
for  years  to  come. 

Nashe  is  specially  interesting  as  a  centre  of  con- 
troversy and  discord  in  his  age,  and  the  Intro- 
duction is  enlightening  on  this  aspect  nf  his  life,

Nashtj'a  reading.  Seven  Appendixes  further  add 
to  the  erudition  of  the  book  ;  and  the  main  Index,

1,  I  shall  be  fateful  for  information 

any  painted  glasa  older  than  1700  in 


modern  churches  in  the  county.  This 
remark  may  be  taken  to  apply,  also,  to  old 
gia.ss  in  private  houses. 

The  Roman  numerals  in  this  list  refer  to

»  grated  on  liis  nerves,  and  raised  hia 
'^  deaU  with  it  twice,  and  at   srnne 


For  now  there  rcmaineth  far  the  Reader  somewhat 
to  studie  and  gesse  upon,  and  yet  the  sprinfr  time 
to  tho  Ipamed  judgement  sufllciently  expressed.'' 

It  will  be  noted  that  Puttenham  corrects- 
the  very  obvioiis  error  "  Dame  *'  Phoebus, 
which  occurs  in  all  old  editions  of  Gascoigne  i 
*  England's  Parnassus '  also  reads  Dan 
PhccDus. 

Then,  again,  in  p.  265,  Puttenham  has 
another  tilt  at  Gascoigne  xmder  *'  Periergia^ 
or  Over  labour,  otherwise  called  the  curious.*' 
Some  of  our  poets,  he  says,  study  to  show 
themselves  fine  in  a  light  matter, 
"  OS  one  of  our  late  makers  who  in  the  most  of  hi* 
things  wrote  very  well,  in  this  (to  mine  opinion) 
rooro  curiouflly  than  needed,  the  matter  beins 
ripely  considered  :  yet  ia  hia  verse  very  |j;<>od, 
and  his  mcctre  cleanly.  His  intent  was  to  declare 
how  the  tenth  day  of  Mamh  he  rrossed  the  river 
of  Tliames,  to  walke  in  Saint  GoorKcs  fleld,  tha 
matter  was  not  wreat  iw  ju  luny  suppose." 

Hero  follow  the  six  lines  quoted  at  th« 
beginning  of  this  paper. 

"  First,  the  whole  matter  is  ngt  worth  all  this 
aolomne  circumstance  to  describe  the  tenth  day 
of  March,  but  if  he  had  left  at  the  two  first  vcraes* 
it  had  bene  inouf^h.  But  when  he  comu  with 
two  other  verso«  to  enlarse  his  description,  it  is 
not  only  more  than  needes,  but  also  very  ridicu- 
lous, for  he  makes  wise,  as  if  he  had  not  bene  a  man 
learned  in  Bome  of  the  niathpinatickes  (by  learned 
tore)  that  he  crrnld  not  have  ttdd  tJiat  the  X  of 
March  had  fallen  in  the  HpriUK  of  the  yeam  : 
which  every  carter,  and  also  every  child  knowetU 
without  any  learning.  Then  also,  when  he  aaith 
[Ver  approrhtt  and  frosty  iPintcr  flrd]  though  it 
were  a  euri'lus^MJo  (because  one  aeasou  must 
neeflefl  geve  place  to  the  other)  yet  doeth  it  well 
im/ugh  pa*-se  without  blame  in  the  maker.  These, 
and  a  hundred  more  ol  such  faultie  and  imper- 
tinent speeches  may  yee  flndo  amonpjt  tis  vulgar 
Ports,  when  we  be  carelesae  of  our  doinffs." 

There  we  see  that  Puttenham.  in  rensuring 


deals  witli  it  twice,  ana  ui   B.mic    Gft«(„-,ij^e,   puts   himself  in   the   same  rank 
each    time.     First     he     finds     f«ult  |  ^-^j^  j^j^  ^^  ^  p^^p^^  ^^^  anticipates  attacks

the  poeta  if  it  be  used  dittcreetly,  and 
right  kind.     But,   he  adds,   many  of 
nakers,  that  are  not  half  their  craft^s 
',  abuse  it.     As  he  that  said  : — 
tenth  of  March  when  Arie«i  received,

iending  to  describe  the  spring  of  the  yearc,

that  might  possibly  bo  made  against  his  own 
jwlished  verse,  which,  unfortunately  for  us, 
has  nearly  all  been  lost.  He  did  not  have 
a  George  "Whetstone  or  a  Boswoll  to  drink  in 
all  that  he  said,  and  to  enlighten  posterity. 
Nevertholoas,  he  has  not  failed  to  let  UB 
know  that  he  soared  higher  into  tho  region  of 
pure  fire  than  such  mere  poetaflters  as 
George  Turbervile,  for  we  have  hi«  own 
word  to  vouch  for  it.  and  are  duly  thankful. 

T>uttenham  is  very  careleas  in  hie  quotation 
of  authors,  and  frequently  wo  find  him 
making  variations  for  the  mere  sake  of 
creating,  as  it  were,  figures  of  straw  which 
he  may  easily  destroy,  or  of  attacking  work 
wiiich  did  not  meet  with  his  approval.  In 
the  case  of  Turbervile,  this  system  of  mis- 
quotation seems  to  have  been  the  direct 
result   of   personal    grudge.     On   the   otbftt 


S64 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 


(11  S.  IL  Nov.  o,inO. 


hand,  it  is  clear  that  Pnttenham  some- 
times either  deliberately  altered  quotations 
from  Surrey,  Wyatt,  and  other  poets  whom 
he  estoomod,  or  trusted  to  his  memory  of 
what  thoy  htid  written.  In  any  vase,  his 
citation  of  authors  cannot  be  considered  as 
authoritative,  and  we  must  correct  Puttoii- 
ham  by  tlm  authors  theniselvoa  wlien  we 
feel  assured  that  the  work  of  the  latter  is  as 
accessible  to  us  as  it  was  to  hiin. 

A  case  where  Puttenham  altered  an  author 
in  order  to  show  up  a  vice  of  stylo  wliich  was 
common  to  writora  of  his  time  and  their 
predecessors,  and  is  still  to  be  root  with  in 
authors  of  our  own  time,  occurs  in  relation 
to  some  verse  of  Gascoi^ie*s ;  and  we 
know  tliat  there  has  been  tampering,  because 
we  are  just  as  well  able  to  Aay  what  Gas- 
coiAne  wrote  as  his  critic  was. 

Gascoi^e  was  very  fond  of  using  the 
phrases   **  darke   anoy,"    "  darke   mistrust," 

darke  diatresso."  *'  darke  di«daine,"  and 
other  expressions  in  which  "  darke  "  appears 
as  an  epithet.  It  is  probable  that  Putten- 
ham noticed  this  feature  in  his  verse,  and 
that  he  refers  to  Gtiscoigne  in  liis  censure  of 
•*  darke  di^laine  "  under  "  Epitiieton,  or  the 
Qualitier,  otherwise  the  figure  of  Attribution'* 
(Arber,  p.  193).  Be  that  as  it  may,  it  is 
•certain  that  \\o  aimed  at  Gascoigne  in  his 
"  Tautologia,  or  the  figure  of  selfo  saying  *' 
(Arber,  p.  261)  :  and  it  is  also  certain  that, 
in  order  to  lash  a  general  vice,  he  did  par- 
ticular wrong  to  Gascoigne  by  misquoting 
lines  of  his  in  which  '*  darke  disdaine " 
occiu^. 

The  artful  aid  afforded  by  alliteration  is 
approved  by  Puttonhamt  provided  it  pass 
not  one  or  two  words  in  one  \-er8e,  and  he 
confesses  "  it  doth  not  ill  but  pretily  becomes 
the  meotre/*  as  in 

The  ftmouki*.'  ftiKhetf :    the  trickling  tcapes. 

Now,  that  lino  comes  from  *  Tottel's 
Hisoellany  *  (Arbor,  p.  175),  and  "trickling 
teares  "  should  read  bitter  teares."  Putten- 
ham has  altered  Tottel  here  for  his  own 
pxuposes,  but  elsewhere  (Arber.  p.  85)  ho 
<jit«B  Tottel  correctly.  The  Tottel  poems 
are  gospel  to  Puttenham,  ho  never  can  see 
faults  in  them  ;  but  outsiders  like  Turbervile 
and  Gascoigne  may  not  be  used  so  tenderly, 
they  are  fair  game  for  the  critic.  The  follow- 
ing, by  **  Ail  English  rimer,"  is  nothing 
commendable  because  the  alliteration  is 
carried  on  through  two  verses  instead  of 
one  : — 

The  doAiJlv  droppcs  of  dorko  disdalnei 
Do  daily  drencii  rny  duo  desartes. 

It  will  be  B^eii  that  the  *  Miscellany/  was 
Altered    to    &dd    grace    to    ita    vewo,    but 


Gascoigne    was    tam])ered   with     to   thron 
discredit  on  what  he  wrote.     Gascoigne. 
all  editions  of  the  '  Weedes,'  writes  : — 

The  deadly  dropcs  of  darke  disd^yne. 
Which  dayly  fall  on  my  deserte.

Ix  the  year  1889  I  published  a  second  sod 
enlarged  edition  of  *  A  Glossary  of  Wordi

nearly  complete.  It  may  be  well,  I  think 
to  reproduce  it  in  '  N.  &  Q.,'  as  it  will  supple

Shakespeare's  Biblis. — T  have  not  met 
aay  mention  of  thia  book  before,  so  perhaps 
Honie  otliers  are  in  the  same  state  of  ignorance 
that  such  a  treaaure  existH.  In  a  table  case 
in  the  u|>t>or  gallery  of  the  excellent  Shake- 

Xare  Memorial  Exliibition  in  the  VMiito- 
ipel  Art  Gallery  is  a  book,  optni  at  tho 
titlo-page,  labelled  as  Shakespeare's  Bible. 
On  tho  left-hand  blank  leaf,  opposite  the 
title-page,  is  a  note,  in  writing  seemingly 
aboat  a  century  old,  which  I  read  as 
follows  : — 

**MeinrrAndnm.  This  work  of  Holy  Writ  wan 
onoe  the  Pro^Hirty  uf  William  8hake8i>oaru,  and  haa 
been  h&uded  down  from  Father  to  twn  by  Profes- 
ckmal  Men.  David  iiarrick  preseDled  it  to  his 
FHeod  Packer,  from  whose  Relation  it  came  into 
tlie  possession  of    Edward  Knight  of  the  Theatre 

The  volume  is  square,  some  8  in,  in  size,  in 
good  condition,  and  was  issued  by  Cliris- 
topher  Barker,  London,  1580,  when  tlie  poet 
was  16.  It  begins  with  the  New  Test-ament, 
and  is  apparently  without  the  Old  Testa- 
ment. 

The  interest  of  the  volume  is  increased 
by  coming  from  Garriek,  through  theatrical 
owners.  Shakespeare's  plays  give  abundant 
oWdence  of  his  knowledge  of  tlio  Bible, 
tod  BO  to  see  the  very  copy  whence  ho  drew 
these  quotations  is  of  extreme  interest. 

In  the  same  case  is  a  book  labelled  as 
Krs.  Siddons's  Bible,  "  the  property  of 
CUen  Terry,"     It  begins  with  the  Psalms. 

In  a  case  in  tho  Shakespeare  Room  I 
bpticed  what  is  marked  as  a  contemporary 
Hfaiiatiire  of  Shake8[>eare.  labelled  :  "'Aiitique 
Kniature  in  Oil  of  WiUiaiu  Shakespeare. 
The  oldest  known  Miniature."  It  is  very 
dark,  and  looks  very  old.  L.  M.  R.

Aa  a  recognition  of  the  sorvices  rendered  tu 
Buffering  Tiumaoity  by  this  most  estimable 
woman,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  some  appro- 
priate memento  may  oe  aflixed  to  her  late 
residence  So.  10,  South  Street,  Park  Lane — 
for  choice,  a  simple  mural   tablet.     But,  if 

Poe  more  elaborate  record  be  decided  upon, 
o  should  be  taken  that  sucli  should  be 
Ihor  too  ornate  nor  too  cumberaome.

The  Guildhall  Crypt. — Mr.  Sydney 
Perks,  F.S.A.,  in  an  exhaustive  paper  which 
he  read  before  the  Society  of  Arts  on  June  1st, 
LUIO,  gave  a  full  account  of  his  recent  dis- 
coveries. In  his  introduction  he  dealt  with 
tho  history  of  the  Guildliall,  and  said  that 
he  considerod  Price  was  wrong  in  stating 
in  his  book  *  A  Descriptive  Account  of  the 
Guildhall  of  the  City  of  London,'  published 
in  1886,  that  '"  the  entire  main  hall  was  not 
built  at  one  time,"  Mr  Perks's  conviction 
that  IVice  is  wrong  has  grown  gradually, 
and  he  thinks  tliat  Price  *'  jumped  at  con- 
clusions without  proper  investigation,  and 
he  was  certainly  hanaicapfied  by  not  having 
tho  training  of  an  architect."  Mr.  Perks 
believes  that  "  the  Guildhall  was  built  at 
one  date,  and  that  no  portions  of  former 
buildings  were  incorporated  with  the  struc- 
ture." He  has  come  to  this  conclusion  from 
tho  study  of  various  authorities,  including 
Stow,  down  to  the  *  Calendar  of  Letter- 
Books,'  edited  by  our  well-known  friend 
Dr.  Sharpe.  Mr,  Perks  has  made  plans  of 
the  crypt  and  Guildhall,  showing  tnem,  aa 
far  as  no  can  judge,  as  they  were  when 
first  built  in  the  early  part  of  the  fifteenths 
century.  Mr.  Perks  says:  "With  regard 
to  the  crj'pt,  the  eastern  half,  by  far  tho  most 
elaborate  portion.  Is  very  Uttle  different 
to-day  from  what  it  was  nearly  500  yoara 
ago."  Until  its  recent  restoration  "  the 
walls  and  vaxilting  were  covered  with  dirt 
and  grease,  the  shafts  supporting  the  vaulting- 
were  quite  black,  and  it  was  only  after  tha-, 
removal  of  tho  grease  and  dirt  that  the  ooloi  ' 
of  tho  blue  Purbeck  stone  shafts  could  ba 
seen." 

A  new  staircase  gives  easy  access  to  the 
crypt,  which  is  now  lighted  by  electricity. 
Mr.  Porks  favours  a  return  to  the  arrange- 
ment  of  hanging  tapestry  round  the  east  end 
of  the  Great  Hall,  and  last  autumn  he  had  t^ 
small  portion  of  the  panelling  removed  and 
some  hangings  submitted  to  members  of  the 
City  Lands  Committee,  and  tho  result  was 
favourably  received. 

Readers  of  '  N,  &  Q.'  cannot  do  better  than 
obtain  the  full  report  of  Mr.  Perks's  paj^er 
which  api>eared  in  the  Journal  of  tlio  Society 
of  Arts  on  the  3rd  of  June.  The  illustra- 
tions in  it  are  reproduced  by  the  courtesy

It  was  in  the  crypt  that  the  supper  was 
served  on  the  oooaaion  of  the  bull  given  at 
ihe  Guildhall  to  the  Queen  and  Prince 
Albert  on  the  0th  of  July,  1851,  to  celebrate

"  pHiLiSTiNn." — One  of  the  senses  we 
•Germans  give  the  word  *'  Philistine  "  is  that 
of  "  a  person  deficient  in  liberal  culture  and 
enlightenment,  whose  interests  are  chiefly 
bounded  by  material  and  commonplace 
things,"  as  the  *  N.E.D.'  puts  it ;  and 
£IngUah  has  taken  over  this  use  from  German, 
No  satisfactory  explanation  of  its  origin  has 
88  yet  been  offered  ;  for  the  two  attempted, 
which  are  very  pour,  I  refer  to  Biichmaim. 
•  Geflugelte  Worte.' 

In  reading  a  German  translation  of  the 
correspondence  of  AVielard  and  H^k-fsc,  by 
t>r.  Kuumgartnor  (Leipzig,  Keclarn),  in  the 
Eighth  Letter  1  came  across  tlio  following 
passage : — 

"  This  bad  state  of  things  in  the  iiiouaati^ies 
Ja  chiell^  due  to  two  catues  :  to  the  jealousy  of  the 
Inymcu  and  Uy  brothers — nay,  uf  tlie  esu|>erior8 
thtsmselves ;  then  to  the  idle  tAtk  and  Iszinoss 
which  are  rife  there  at  present.  Tboeo  men  only 
winh  to  have  lOAterial  iiit«rcuurse  with  us,  uut 
spiritual,  and  resemble  the  I'hilistintis,  whu 
ptinued  Isaac  when  he  was  going  to  dig  a  well, 
and  kept  from  him  the  water  by  t)irr>wing  in  north. 
Gr«ffory  in  his  *  Moralia,'  ch&p.  xW.,  expounds 
it  thus:  *  Often,  when  eng(i^«4l  in  tho  wludy  of 
Boiy  Scripture,  wu  have  to  suffer  acvi^roly  from 
the  attacks  of  evil  spintj)  ;  thoy  throw  the  duat  .if 
«arthly  thoughts  into  our  tniudit,  in  order  to 
blind  them  to  the  tight  of  introHpcction.'  The 
Psalmist  bod  experienced  this  only  too  much 
whdQ  ho  iMtld  ;  *  Avaunt,  ye  miscreants  !  1  will 
know  the  coounaDdmcnta  of  my  Ciod.'  By  this 
he  clearly  hiota  that  be  could  not  learn  them 
because  his  mind  had  to  fight  ngaiu^st  the  on- 
■taughta  of  the  demons.  They  are  what  the 
wickod  Philistinci  were  at  Isaac's  well,  whe.u  thoy 
tilled  it  with  earth.  Fcm-  such  wells  we  diu:  indeed 
whea  wopenetral*  Into  the  hidden  depths  of  lloly 
Writ.  Wo  may  eoinpare  unclean  spirila  who 
suggest  to  u«  eaKbly  thoughts  while  we  nspire 
to  heaven  and  cut  off  from  us,  so  to  say,  the  water 
of  the  knowledge  of  God  that  we  have  found,  to  the 
Philistines  flUing  up  the  well." 

Can  one  wish  for  a  Ijot  tor  connexion 
between  the  name  of  the  sturdy  tribe  in  the 
south  of  PaJojstine  and  ita  mixrern  figurative 
application  ?  For  me  it  is  the  missing 
liiik.  After  famous  schoolmen  «uch  aa 
Gregory  and  Abedard  ba<l  used  it  so,  it  ih 
only  natural   that  their  cocnpaxiaon.  ehoxAd 


be  lianded  down  by  studenta  ;  and  there 
is  no  doubt  that  from  students*  parlanoo  it 
spread  into  the  general  German  speech, 
and  from  there  into  the  longuami  of  moet 
civilized  nations.  G.  Kbubokb.

May  I,  as  one  connected  with  the  present 
family  of  the  Pitlields  of  Dorset,  ask  for  some 
particulars  of  the  above  roverond  gentleman 
and  what  was  this  story  of  his  ghost,  as  I  have 
no  means  here  of  referring  to  the  above 
lodicol  ?  My  fiote  says  that  he  was 
>r  of  Worblingtou  temp.  1077.  Where 
Warblington  ?  Can  it  be  a  misprint  for 
tthiington,  or  AlUngton  (near  Bridport,  in 
'  >r8et),  which  was  the  old  home  of  the 
Ltfields  ? 

I  ha\'e  ft  reference  to  a  "  Bastian  Pitfold  *' 
in  1664,  and  to  a  **  Sebastian  Pittfold  "  in 
1653,  though  the  latter  person  does  not 
j.^    u^.—    1 „    .  ^iij^o2i."     Their 


names  occur  as  owners  of  land  in  con* 
nexion  with  otlter  landi^  lately  belonging 
to  "  Magdalen's  Chantry  "  in  Atldington,  or 
Ailington,  Dorset.  This  chantry  was  other- 
wise Known  as  the  '*  Hospital  for  Lepers, 
called  Mary  Magdalen,  in  Athlington.  near 
Bridport,"  which  Hutcliins  ('  History  of 
Dorset/  vol.  ii.  p.  206)  speaks  of  as  having 
been  suppressed  in  1553.* 

It  was  from  a  branch  of  the  Pitfields  of 
Allington  that  the  present  Lord  Alington 
is  lineally  de.scended  ;  but  1  do  not  think 
that  the  family  of  Sturt  took  its  title  from 
any  such  connexion.

Wearing  One  Spuk. — In  Sir  E.  Duming- 
Lawrence's  *  Bacon  is  Shakespeare  '  (p.  169) 
some  stress  is  laid  upon  the  fact  that  n 
person  is  represented  on  the  title  |>age  of 
Bacon's  *  History  of  Henr>*  VIT.'  as  wearing 
only  one  spur.  Some  deduction  is  made  from 
this  ill  support  of  the  author*8  contention 
that  Bocon  is  Shakespeare.  But  was  it  not 
common  at  that  timo  for  horsemen  to  wear 
but  one  spur  T  In  '  Hudibras,'  which 
belongs  to  a  generation  later,  the  practice 
seems  to  be  alluded  to.  The  **  arm'd  heel  "

follows,  respecting  "  a  certain  well-known 
preacher  who  had  made  a  passing  appear-

John  Day's  Will. — Can  any  oorrespood- 
ont  direct  me  to  the  will  of  John  Day  (or 
Daye),  the  celebrated  Elizabethan  printer? 
Ho  died  at  Walden,  Essex,  in  1584— as 
Mr.  H.  R.  Tedder  informs  us  in  the  '  D.N.B..' 
making  no  mention  of  any  testament. 
Certainly  nothing  is  registered  in  I'.C.C 
concerning  Day,  though  hia  numerous 
progeny  would  incline  one  to  the  belief  thit 
he  must  have  left  some  written  diroctioDS. 
Perhaps  his  will  is  entered  in  the  reoorda 
of  some  minor  court,  and  failed  to  oonia 
to  Mr.  Tedder's  notice  when  writing  JQ 
1888.  Genealogical  research  has.  of  cotuw, 
made  considerable  strides  since  that  date.

how  tlus  transference  took  place.  The 
folIonHng  is  all  the  information  I  have 
boarinp  upon  the  subject. 

In  July,  1652,  the  Council  of  State  paid 
4zizis  Detmy  25/.  for  quartering  soldiers  in 
Goring  Hou»e  for  three  months  before  allow-

<)Qart«ring  suldicra  there- 
in 1665  Edward  Denny  of  Howe,  Norfolk, 
writing  to  Lord  Arlington,  mentions  that 
be  was  formerly  owner  of  Goring  HouAe, 
hfa  lordship's  habitation  ;  but  suffered  so 
diirinj;  the  Civil  War  tbat  he  was  obliged 
to  sell  it  to  Sir  John  Lenthall. 

Tliis  Edward  Donny  (bom  1624)  was 
aecond  cousin  twiro  removed  to  Anno 
Denny  (sister  of  Edward  Denny.  Earl  of 
Norwich),  who  married  George  Goring  of 
Hurstpierrepoiut,  and  had  a  son  Sir  George 
Goring,  who  was  created  Baron  Goring 
162H.  Earl  of  Norwich  1644,  and  died  1662/3.

Cmrge.  Lord  Goring,  d.s.p.  1657,  and  Charles, 
2nd  Earl  of  Norwich,  d.^.p.  1670/71. 


Anne  Denny  of  1652  was  probably  the

South  African  Siaxo  (U  S.  ii.  63.  138).— 
Mb.  Raaff's  derivation  of  **  footsack " 
from  V'oort,  zeg  ik  (Away,  I  teU  you),  is  not 
quite  correct ;  at  least  I  have  seen  it  stated 
in  Cape  nevrspaperft  that  the  word  was  a 
contraction  of  Voort  zich  uit  (Away  with 
you  !).  The  interjection  was  originally 
hurled  at  doss,  and  was  afterwards  used 
contemptuously  of  negroes  and  worthlsas 
charaoters.  It  has  even  been  turned  into 
a  verb,  as  ''  to  footaook  (or  fire  out)  a  broken 
choir." 

There  is  another  application  of  the  South 
African  *'skoS,*'  or      scoff,"  namely,  wiien 
it  is  used  substantively  with   the  meaning 
of  a  journey  or  progress,  as  in  speaking  of  a 
twenty-milo  march  of  a  squadron  of  boras, 
or  the  trok  of  a  wo^on  drawn  by  bollocks: 
"  They  did  a  ten-mde  skoff  last  night,  and. 
another  ten-mile  this  morning."     This  word 
no  doubt  is  derived  from  Du.  schoft,  a  quarter 
day*s  work,  and  echo/ten,  to  rest,  eat  a  nieak^

Lesnes  Abrey  :    Abbot  Ely  as  (11  S.  is.

in   the    '  Monasticon   Anglicanuxu/   vol.  vi. 
part  i.  p.  456  (1846).     It  has,  however,  been 
very    imperfectly    treated    of,    though   two 
royal  charters  are  given.     Richard  de  Lucy« 
Chief  Justice  of  England,  is  alleged  to  lisv? 
been  the  founder  in  1178.   Subsequently  to 
is  said  to  have  joined    the   order    of  Black 
Canons,  very  soon  after  which  he  dedicated 
the  church  to  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary  and 
St.  Thomas  of  Canterbury. 

Losnes  was  one  of  the  religious  hoosc* 
suppressed  in  1524  at  the  instance  of  C«^ 
dtnol  Wolsey,  so  that  its  revanues  mifbl 
become  a  port  of  those  of  the  two  ooikfH 
wliich  he  contemplated  founding  at  Oxfor<) 
and  Ipswich.  The  notes  with  which  ths 
Lesnes  article  in  the  *  Monasticon  '  ia  supplied 
give  interesting  references.  The  Chapt**-

the  abbots  may  occur.

The  G.  th  occurs*  in  auch  words  as  Oothe, 
a  Goth  ;  ThtaUr,  a  theatre,  and  other  words 
of  foreign  origin.  In  such  words  the  tk 
represents  the  original  th  in  the  Late  Lat. 
Gothua  or  in  the  Gk.  Oiarpov,  &c.  There  is 
no  harm  in  tliis  use  of  th,  because  it  is  easily 
understood. 

But  its  use  in  native  words  auch  as 
Thau,  dew,  was  originally  meant  to  be 
phonetic.  It  indicated  that  the  following 
vowel  or  diphthong  was  long.  Thus  in 
the  word  Thai,  a  vtOley.  the  o  is  long.  So 
also  in  Ath^n,  br*^ath,  the  th  following  the 
a  indicates  that  the  preceding  a  is  long. 
Germans  do  not  need  to  be  told  this  ;  but 
tor  English  readers  it  is  well  to  show,  by  the 
oae  of  tliis  device,  that  tho  u  in  thun<,  to  do, 
is  long.  The  alternative  is  to  print  it  as 
tun.  Walter  W.  Skeat.

Allusions  ik  Amebicax  Authors  (11  S. 
il-    307).  —  I.  The    "Nubian     geographer" 
Blloded  to  by  Poe  in  '  A  Descent  into  the 
Maelstrom.*  was  in  all  likelihood  tlie  Arabian 
author  Edrisi,  who  wrote  in  1 153.     A  portion 
of  his  book  was  edited  in  1592  imder  the  title 
'Oeographia   Nubicnsia.'     There   have   been 
l«veraj  editions  nince,  but  all  are  said  to  be 
full  of  errors,  the  very  title  being  a  mistake. 
Ovring  to  the  misinterpretation  of  a  certain 
piasage,  the  translators  were  led  to  believe 
that  Edrisi  was  a  Nubian,  instead  of  a  native 
of  North   Africa,   opposite  Gibraltar,   as  he 
really  was.      Probably  the  best-known  trans- 
ition of  the   book   is   that  issued  in   Latin 
M  Paris  in  1619.     This  may  have  been  the 
«iition    with    which    Poo    was    acquainted, 
h  is  named  "  Geographia  Nubionsis,  id  est 
totiua  orbis  in  vii.  elimata  divisi  descriptio, 
M[  Arabico  in  Latin,  versa  a  Gabr.  Sionita  et 
Joto.    Hesronita."     Tlie    Mare  Tenebrarum 
w  no  doubt  the  Black  Sea,  perhaps  so  called 
TO*  the  prevailing  colour  of  the  rock  sur- 
'ounding  it.  W.  Scott. 

I  should  suggest  that  the  Nubian  geo- 
papber  mentioned  by  Poe  would  probably 
D»  Ptolemy,  who  was  a  native  oi   Egypt, 


which,  although  not  Nubia  proper,  is  perhaps 
near  enough  for  the  purposes  of  romance. 
HiB  birthplace  is  uncertain,  but  it  is  supposed 
to  be  either  at  Pelusium  or  Ptolemais  in  the 
Thebaid.  The  Mare  Tenebrarum  would 
probably  be  the  Euxine  or  Black  Sea.

Caxons,  Middlesex  (11  S.  ii.  328). — 
Although  I  cannot  give  the  exact  date 
when  the  eighteenth-century  liouse  waa 
started,  it  seems  worth  while  recording 
that  the  site  was  occupied  by  earlier  houses 
also  known  as  *'  Cannons"  or  "  Channons." 
Richard  Sheppard  of  Wembley,  Harrow, 
in  his  will,  1578,  mentions  John  ffranklin  of 
Canons.  John  liaseley  of  WiUosden  in  his 
will,  1586,  mentions  that  Jolm  l&anklin  of 
Canons  is  to  receive  20^  Agnes  ffrankUn 
of  Hendon,  widow  of  John  fifrnnklin,  late 
of  Canons,  made  her  will  in  1602  ;  and  in  the 
Herald's  Visitation  of  London,  1633,  John 
Franklin  of  Canons  is  given  as  the  father  of 
Kichard  Franklyn  of  Willesdon.  John 
Franklin  of  "  Caimons  "  was  overseer  to  the 
will  of  George  Litton  of  Edgeware  and  neigh- 
bouring parishes  in  1584. 

I  have  numerous  notes  from  original 
documents  concerning  this  place,  but  as 
they  are  not  indexed  I  am  unable  to  say 
from  what  date  the  name  occurs. 

Jolm  Frankland  of  St^nmore  the  Leas 
was  the  testator  of  a  will  in  1585,  and  evi- 
dently was  identical  with  Jolm  Franklin 
of  Canons.  He  Tnentions  his  wife  Agnen, 
and  gives  much  detail  of  properties  and 
kindred ;  lie  loft  considerable  sums  for 
charities  and  public  purposes,  and  desired 
to  be  buried  in  the  parisli  church  of  Stan- 
more.  In  1563  John  FrankUn  the  elder  of 
Great  Stamuore  was  rated  at  8^,  and  paid

Tlie  manor  of  Canons  was  conveyed  in 
marriage  by  Mary,  daughter  and  heiress  of 
Sir  Thomas  Lake,  to  James  Brydges,  after- 
wards first  Duke  of  Chondos.*  The  house 
does  not  appear  to  have  been  begun  imtil 
1716,  when  the  north  front  was  built  by 
Strong,  the  mason  who  was  employed  on  the 
building  of  St.  Paxil's  Catliedral.  At  that 
date  BrydgoB  woe  Earl  of  Carnarvon.

LoHD  Howard  of  EmNcaAM's  Fibst 
Wife  (11  S.  ii.  310).— J.  E.  T.  says  that 
'*  tlie  iirst  wife  of  the  first  Lord  Howard  of 
Effingham  was  ^nfie,  sister  and  co-heir  of 
John  de  Broughton,  or  Boughton." 

This  statement  is  not  correct.  On  look- 
ing at  C^jkayne's  '  Complete  Peerage,'  vol.  iii. 
p.  235,  I  find  that  the  first  Lord  Howard  of 
Efllnghaiu  married  Katharine,  sister  and 
co-lieir  of  John  Broughton,  daughter  of 
Jolm  Broughton  of  Tuddington,  Beds,  by 
Agnes,  daughter  and  heir  of  Sir  John 
Sapcoto.  Slie  died  ».p.m.  23  April,  1635,  and 
was  buried  at  Lambeth,  Surrey.

TEiCNTH  CSNTtTBY  (11  S.  ii.  230). — A  braM 
collar,  with  inscription  similar  to  that 
recorded  in  the  query,  is  preserved  among 
the  relics  in  the  Antiquarian  Museum  at 
Edinburgh.  The  inscription  states  tluit  ii 
was  dredged  out  of  the  river  Forth.  It 
would  seem  that  there  are  two  collats  in 
existence,  lettered  in  almost  identical  tomA 
1  hod  never  before  heard  of  the  one  found 
in  tlie  grave  at  Alva,  and  am  somewhat 
inclined  to  doubt  the  accuracy  of  the  8tAt»- 
ment  made  in  The  St.  Janu^a's  Chronidt  o( 
1788.  W.  Scott. 

The  heading  of   the  query  should  have 
been      "  Penal       Servitude,         instead    ^ 
"  Slavery,"  since  it  relates  to  a  convict  in 
whose  case  tlie  legal  punishment  of  death  had 
been  commuted  to  penal  servitude  for  life- 
There  being  at  that  time  no  penal  ecttlJ- 
menta     maintained     by     the     Oovoriinient» 
such   convicts   wore   placed   in   the  custody 
of    an   individual    master    who    could   kWP 
them  in  work.     Sir  John  Erskiue  of  Alva  haa 
silver   mines    on    his  estate    wliich    lie  wa* 
working,  and  had  no  doubt  applied  for  a 
grant  of  convict  laboxir.     The   brods  collar 
worn  by  this  particular  convict,  bearing  an 
inscription  setting  forth  his  name,  his  cnnw. 
the  date  of  his  conviction,  ond  lus  aasiDi- 
ment  as  a  jierpetuai  servant  to  Sir  jdn 
Erskine,  was  found  in  the  river  Forth  setn* 
time  previous  to  12  June.  1784,  when  it  waa 
given  to  the  Society  of  AntiquarieM  of  Scot-

iuDLv  who,  after  exhaustive  research,  has 
coooluded  that  the  former  is  derived  from  I 
the  Sajcon  words  "  lum "  and  "  halgh."  ' 
In  eTjiiiuning  the  etymology  he  says  (p.  til) :

uf  fofc;  to  diapene.  In  tbe  county  of  Norfolk, 
EngUnd,  a  *  liun '  was  the  handle  of  an  oar.  '  Lum ' 
also  meant  to  rain  headly.  In  Scotland,  Ireland, 
and  the  northern  Kiit^lish  counties  of  IhirhAm  and 
Yorkshire  a  *  lum '  meant  a  chimney,  tht?  vent  by 
which  the  smoke  issued,  aa  in  UtAui'a  'Chronicles

Yorkshire  and  in  Derbyshire  and  in  the  West

also  in  counties  Derby  and  Oxford.  'lum'  meant  a 
deep  pool  in  the  bed  of  a  river.  HalUwell  sums  the

The  namo  Lrnnb  or  Lum  is  derived  from 
Danish  or  Norse  words  meaning  a  ravine 
or  deep  wooded  valley,  as  stated  by  the 
late  Canox  J.  C.  Atkutson  at  4  8.  viiL  384. 
There  is  a  good  example  of  a  "lumb  "  at 
Driglilington,  iioar  Leeds  ;  and  there  are 
others  in  the  Halifax  district,  where  there  are 
numerous  families  of  tho  name.  The  name 
occurs  chiefly  in  the  hills  of  the  Yorkshire 
clothing  distriet,  and  the  printed  registers 
of  H^ifax.  EUand,  and  Barwick-in-Elmet 
liAve  the  most  numerous  entries.  The 
ancestors  of  tho  Irish  baronet  Sir  Francis 
Lum,  I  have  reason  to  think,  resided  near 
Halifax.  The  namo  has  been  written 
variously  Lom(b),  Lum(b),  Lome,  Luimu, 
&c.  There  have  been  Lombes  in  Norfolk 
since  an  early  date,  the  principal  family 
being  represented  by  tlio  Lombes  of  By- 
laugh.  O.  D.  LrMB. 

Lumb  ia  a  place-name  in  East  Lancashire, 
near  Kochdale,  and  it  seems  that  wo  need 
not  go  to  Scotland  for  the  origin,  since  in  tlie 
Morth  Countrj'.  Lakeland,  Lancashire,  Che- 
shire, Derbyshire,  and  Oxfordshire,  a  "lum" 
(without  the  6)  is  a  deep  pool  in  the  bed  of  a 
river.  Scottish  fiction  has  made  us  familiar 
with  a  "  lum  "  in  the  sense  of  a  chimney,  but 
it  can  liardly  be  surmised  that  the  surname 
is  traceable  to  tliis.  A  "  liun  "  in  Yorkshire, 
Derbyshire,  and  the  North  Country  generally 
is  also  a  small  wood  or  grove — in  West 
Yorkshire  "'a  wood  bottom,'  growing 
shrul^  and  trees,  and  not  fit  for  mowing.'

NOTES  AND  QUERIES 


But  for  the  difficulty  of  proving  a  negative, 
one  might  he  tempted  to  aay  that  Lum 
IH  not  a  Scottish  family  name  at  all.  There 
is,  of  course,  the  Scottish  word  '*  lum,** 
meaning  a  chimney.  But  the  family  name 
Lumm  13  said  to  signify  "  a  clump  of  trees." 
At  ail  events,  the  Buriiame  Lum  is  oxtrenioly 
rare  in  Scotland.  1  liave  met  with  only  one 
inst-ance  of  its  occurrence.  According  to 
the  '  Edinburgh  Marriage  Registers,'  under 
date  5  July,  1677,  Samuel  Lum,  writing- 
master,  waa  married  to  Margaret  Smyth 
by  Mr.  James  Lundio.  Compound  words 
tike  Lumsden  are  frequent  in  Scotland,  but 
Luiu  as  a  family  name,  so  far  as  1  am  aware, 
is  almost  entirely  unknown.  Scotus.

Loyal  Addresses  (11  S.  ii.  266). — The 
address  to  Queen  Anne  from  the  nobility  and 
gentry  of  Hertfordshire,  dated  10  July, 
1710,  to  which  Mr.  Oerish  refers,  was  ob- 
vioualv  one  of  the  flood  which  poured  in 
upon  her  Majesty  in  that  and  the  following 
month,  when  the  storm  aroused  by  the  pro- 
secution of  Sacheverell  was  at  its  helglit, 
and  the  Wiig  Ministry,  as  a  consequence, 
was  about  to  be  dismissed.  They  were 
republished  in  the  same  year  in  *  A  CoUoc- 
tion  of  Addresses'  for  general  circulation; 
and  while  it  is  difficult  to  understand  how 
the  originals  could  have  become  distributed 
in  the  way  now  indicated,  I  should  be  very 
glad  to  know  if  the  one  is  also  on  sale  that 
was  presented  to  the  Queen  at  Kensington  on 
0  August  from  "  tho  mayor,  recorder, 
deputy  recorder,  aldermen,  town  clerk, 
common  council,  free  burgesses,  and  other 
inhabitants  of  Dunheved  cuias  Launceston," 
*'  declaring  their  detestation  of  republican 
principles.**  Launcost<:»n*s  recorder,  rieorge 
GranviUe — Pope's  "  Granville  tho  T>olite  " 
— assisted  in  the  presentation  of  this  Tory

(11  S.  ii.  329).— I  tliiuk  that  the  interweta- 
tion  of  the  record  quoted  is:  "David 
Polhill  waa  married  to  Elizabeth  Borret, 
Januar3'  the  Slst,  1719." 

It  would  api^ear  that,  excluding   the  date, 

Da\^d  Polhill,  M.P.  at  various  dates,  mar- 
ried for  hie  third  wife  Klizabeth.  daughter 
of  John  Borrett  of  Shoroham,  prothonotary 
of  tho  Court  of  Common  Pleas.  She  wat  a 
great-granddaughter  of  John  Hampden,  and 
he  waa  a  great-graadson  of  Oliver  Cromwell. 

She  died  in  1786,  aged  87.  Very  likely  the 
date  1710  would  be  1720  according  to  the 
historical  year. 

David  Polhill  was  bom  1675.  and  died 
1754.  His  monument  (mural  with  bust)  is 
in  Otford  Chiu-ch.

Vd   Kerurin0on    Paiaee^  and  other    Papers.     By 
Austin  Dobson.     (Cbatto  fc  Windus.) 

Phis  ooUection  of  essays  gives  w*  great  pleasure. 
We  b«ve  noticed  from  tirno  to  time  in  The 
ffaiiofuU  Review  many  uf  tlioni,  and  there  are  few 
kutboffi  who  bear  re-reading  better  than  Mr. 
!>ob«on.  He  supplies  us  wltb  ample  iuforinaUon 
sound  couclusioos  ;  yet  ail  is  so  neatly  done, 
easily,  that  we  ai^  not  ronscioua  nf  being 
and  are  wholly  free  from  that  scnac 
tVlnen  which,  alas  \  often  accompanies  the 
of  the  expert. 
Apart  from  Iwoexcuraiona  into  French  subjecta 
•  Madame  Viff<*e-Lebrun  '  and  *  Cl<^ry*9  Journal  ' 
■Mr*  Dobsnn  is  deep  in  bia  favourite  eighteenth 
fcury.  addin^t  in  '  Tb<?  Oxford  Thackeray  '  a 
kper  on  the  author  who  has  introduced  to  many 
UB  the  greater  f\gures  of  that  epoch.  Uere, 
ugh  there  is  a  paper  on  '  I'ercy  ana  Goldsmith,' 
ys  are  for  the  most  part  concerned  with 
of  aecondary  importance,  and,  like  John- 
of  undifltinKuitthfHl  veraifiers,  none  the 
Dg  for  that.  Hawkins,  the  rival  of 
well  deserved  a  nicho  in  Mr.  Dobson's 
ery,  wliile  Lyttelton  aa  man  of  letters,  and 
^tmbers  aa  arcbitert,  are  revived  without  that 
sjudice  which  hoH.  perhaps*  obscured  their 
tfl. 


We  abstain  from  quoting  particular  paasages 
bvcauBe  there  arc  so  many  nice  things  to  quote, 
and  because  Mr.  Doheon,  even  in  an  age  iucurioua 
of  aH  life  except  its  own,  has  reached  a  position  as 
a  specialist  which  needs  do  coinzuent  of  ours. 
Ilia  account  of  '  The  Oxford  ThackeTay  '  as  a 
whole  is  at  once  judicious  and  ontcrtainiiig, 
exhibiting  his  nice  tast«  both  in  illustratiuDs  and 
text,  and— w«  need  hardij'  add— in  a  very 
different  style  from  that  of  l^f.  Saiotsbury.  Of 
the  merits  of  Thackeray  as  an  artist  Mr.  Dobson 
admits  that  "  opinion  has  been  somewhat 
divided."  He  Bnda  "  no  reason  for  putting  him 
much  below  Doyle  ;  and,  in  the  matter  of  bdtla) 
letters,  we  hold  tbo  pair — in  Invention  «t  all 
events — to  have  been  nearly  equal.  '  Without 
facing  seriously  disturbed  at  the  Innt  contention,  the 
present  writer  puts  Doyle's  original  and  always 
delightful  flgurvj.  of  fairius  some  way  above  any- 
thing tfaat  Thackeray  did.  If  the  great  writer 
had  had  the  practice  of  illustrating  '  Pickwick  ' 
and  other  books,  he  might  have  been  a  great 
illustrator.  As  it  is,  with  admirable  &tni  he  has 
given  us  bis  ovm  ideas  of  his  own  rharactan,  and 
we  confess  that  other  attempts  at  Becky  Sharp 
look  to  us  beside  bis  sad  failures. 

Ix  The  Comhitl  Mr.  Justice  Darling  has  a  short 
poem  on  the  New  Forest  '  ^^'oodnutw,'  while 
Mrs.  Margaret  Woods  has  one  of  the  heat  of  her 
'  Pastels  '  in  an  account  of  '  The  Victoria  Falls  * 
on  the  Zambesi.  The  railway  bridge  across  the 
gorge  is,  it  appears,  the  highest  in  the  world*  and. 
when  it  was  being  conatructe^l,  an  eugiacor  fell 
from  ft  and  had  a  marvellous  escape,  being  caught 
in  the  bronrhes  of  a  single  tree  that  kept  him 
fluapi-nded  over  the  abyss.  He  was  rescued  with- 
out having  suffered  ph>'sical  harm,  but  we  are 
not  surprised  to  hear  that  he  was  in  hospital 
some  time  for  nervous  shock.  *  The  Unemploy- 
able and  the  Cnemploycd,'  by  Miss  Edith  Sellers, 
is  an  important  article,  for  it  deals  with  the 
arrangements  of  casnoi-wards  and  the  sort  of 
treatment  which  creates  the  loafer  who  will  not 
work  and  Is  an  expensive  nuisance  to  the  coimtry. 
We  extract  one  or  two  ul  the  striking  dicta  whicii 
MlsB  tellers  gives  us.  Staying  in  a  country 
distriri  which  was  In  many  rf-wpccts  a  model 
district,  she  found  that  not  a  single  boy  in  the 
schools  *'  had  received,  or  would  receive,  any 
training  whatever  in  trade  or  handicraft."  And 
"  even  in  Ix>ndon,  so  for  na  one  can  make  out,  only 
some  twenty-five  per  cent,  of  the  County  Council 
sobool  children  have  any  technical  training  what- 
ever, either  before  they  leave  school  or  after." 
A  good  many  of  the  unemployable  arc  so  hecauso 
tbey  are  badly  fed.  for  "  not  one  Knglisbwoman  in 
fifty  can  cook  a  decent  dinner."  If  schoolboys 
became  skilled  workers,  and  girls  good  house- 
wives, "  the  unemployable  unemployed  crowd," 
says  Miss  Hi-llers,  "  would  soon  begin  to  dwindle.'* 
She  recommends  reformed  ca«ual-wards  of  the 
sort  there  ore  in  Switzerland.  Austria,  and  Ger- 
many. Mr.  A.  E.  Oathornc-Hardy's  '  Loiter- 
ing<3  by  the  Lambourne  '  is  a  very  pleasant  paper 
on  fishing  and  other  open-air  pleasures,  while  Miss 
Rosaline  Maason  telbi  the  story  of  Holman 
Hunt  painting  in  1852  near  HastingB,  learning 
Italian  from  Edward  Lear,  and  being  sent  a

tainly any  other  scheme  seemu  preferable  to  that

anomalies.  UIm  Rosaline  Masson  in  '  An  "  In-

Republicans  took  advantage.'*

Mk.  Paoh:  {ante,  p.  243)  asks  for  particulars 
of  the  statue  of  Sir  Hcnrv-  Edwards  at  Wey- 

■  mouth.  It  stands  at  the  landward  end  of  the 
pier*  and  represents  liim  in  modern  habili* 
ments,  holding  a  roll  of  papers  in  one  hand. 
As  a  likeness  it  is  wonaerfully  correct,  but 
older  than  I  knew  him  45  years  ago.  Sir 
Henry  Edwards  was  a  great  benefactor  to 
Veymouth,  and  left  large  sums  of  money  to 
his  old  constituents.  Two  beautiful  blocks 
of  almshouBes  were  built  and  endowed  by 
him  for  reduced  trailesmen  and  others, 
his  memorj'  ia  perpetuated  by  a  dinner 


in  the  Jubilee  Hall  given  annually  to  the- 
ag«d  poor  of  Weymouth .  His  ashes  lio- 
in  the  cemetery  under  a  colunm  made  of 
Aberdeen  grHmte. 

The  statue,  which  is  notable  as  having 
been  ereoted  in  the  lifetime  of  the  person 
represented,  bears  the  following  inscription : 

'*  Kiect«d  by  puWio  Kubsoriiition.  a.d.  1886,  to

Sir  H.  Edwards,  who  was  76  when  he  died 
in  February,  1897,  was  an  oil  and  linsecxl

PHILIP    TRAHERNE. 

In  my  edition  of  Tliomas  Tralierne's  '  Poems 
of  Felicity '  for  tho  "  Tudor  and  Stuart 
Library  '*  I  have  collected  such  facts  con- 
cerning his  brother  Philip  and  the  latter' s 
son  Thomas  as  I  had  discovered.  The  Rev. 
F.  E.  Hutcliiiison  of  King's  College,  Cam- 
bridge, has  kindly  communicated  a  fow 
notes,  which  I  received  too  late  to  incorporate 
in  the  volume,  and  wliioh  I  may  perhapa 
be  allowed  to  record  here.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.       tu  8.  n.  Xov.  !•  uho. 


On  p.  XV  I  state,  referring  to  Pearson, 
iliai  Tralierne  was  created  B.t>.  of  Cam- 
bridge by  royal  mandate  in  December,  1669. 
Th«  entry  in  '  Graduati  Cantabrigiensea  * 
quoted  on  p.  x  gives  1670  as  the  year. 
Mr.  IIutchinBon,  who  has  consulted  the 
original  records,  informs  me  that  thougli  the 
warrant  is  dated  30  December,  1669,  yet 
Trahomo  was  not  actually  admitted  till 
26  February »  1 669  /70.  The  warrant,  as 
stated  by  Pearson,  ^ives  the  nuiiipas  *  Philip 
Traheron  "  ;  in  Traherne's  own  signature  on 
adnfiiftsion  {which  is,  says  Mr.  Hutehin!*on, 
very  close  indeed  to  that  reproduced  in  the 
second  plate  in  *  Pooms  of  Felicity')  the 
same  form  is  given.  In  the  warrant  occur 
the  words  "  in  regard  he  is  chosen  by  the 
"Turky  Company  to  be  their  Preacher  at 
Smyrna  in  A.^ia."  This  is  somewhat  curious, 
since  Traiicrne  was  not  "  heard  preach " 
til!  21  April.  1670,  nor  appointed  till  1  August 
of  the  same  year  ;  but  lie  was  recommended 
for  Smyrna  on  16  November,  1669,  and  it 
was  apparently  assumed  that  the  Company 
-would  appoint  him. 

Regarding  Thomas  Traherne  the  younger 
Mr.  Hutchinson  quotes  from  Anthony 
Allen*a  MS.  catalogue  of  the  Provosts,  &c.. 
of  King's  College  the  following  entry  (vol.  iv. 
p.  1976),  wliich  supplements  the  passage 
published  by  me  on  p.  xx  : — 

"  Anna  ITIW.  Thomas  Traheron  bom  at  Hinton 
^Ivrton  fific)  in  tiip  County  of  I^raet  son  of  the 
Kev**  M'  Trftheron.  Was  admitted  Scholar 
April  ll>^  1701  U|»on  the  Prefcrmpnt  of  the  Rev*»  M» 
John  Horsnell  of  the  vear  IB73.  Fellow  A.M. 
MaKLer  of  Kins'^  College  Free  «School  in  Cambridjte. 
He  died  at  CoUefie  in  the  said  Office  of  the  Rniall 
Pox  Deo.  3  1710  and  lies  Deposited  behind  the  Com- 
munion Table  in  Kin};'B  Colleee  Chiipi>el  a  Sober 
and  Indnatrioufl  Man  niy  ChAniour  Feltow." 

The  statement  as  to  Traheine's  place  of 
burial  is  conlLrmed  by  Harwood's  *  Alumni 
Etonenses.*  p.  284  (*'  beliind  the  Altar  '*),  to 
wliich  Mr.  Hut^^hin8on  referred  me.  There 
are  no  stones  with  names  it\Hcril>cd  in  that 
position  at  present,  but  it  is  known  that  the 
floor  was  fuitirely  reconstructed  about  1776. 
Mr.  Hutchinson  says  tliat  ho  is  unable  to 
tiiid  elsewhere  in  the  chapel  any  inscription 
to  Thomas  Traherne. 

I  shotdd  like,  in  conclusion^  to  correct  a 
slip  on  p.  vii.  I  state  that  the  volume  con- 
tains thirty-eiglit  new  poems,  and  add  in  a 
not«  **  Thirty-nine  including  the  cancelled 
one  on  p.  U6."  This  note,  wliich  was  added 
fts  an  afti-r  thought,  is  inaccurate.  The 
total  number  is  thirty-ciglit  ;  I  forgot,  when 
wTirincr  the  note,  that  1  Imd  included  the 
^•aneened  poem  in  the  original  num>>or,

"SHARK":    ITS   DERIVATIOX. 

It  seems  to  be  generally  accei:ttrd  tliat  th« 
name  of  the  ravenous  fish  is  a  transferrrd 
use  of  the  Tudor  ''  shark,"  a  greedy  parasite. 
Prof.  Skeat  (' Etym.  l>ict./  4th  ed..  Oxford, 
1910)  regards  the  verb  "to  sisark  "  oa  tlio 
original,  and  accepts  derivation  of  tlie  Utter 
I  from  O.F,  cA<rgtticr,  1^'icard  form  of  cherxKer, 
I  to  search.  Tliis  is  practically  what  we  IiihI 
in  Skinner's  '  Etymologicon  '  1  London,  1671). 
Prof.  Skeat  mentions  the  proposc-d  altei- 
native  derivation  from  G.  Sfhurk*\  rogu*^. 
I  but  considers  tlio  difference  of  vowpIs 
against  it.  This  second  derivation  is  th«t 
of  Francis  Junius  in  his  "  Etymologicam 
AiigUcanum '  (ed.  Lye,  Oxford,  17451. 
Since  these  two  fathers  of  English  etymolop, 
no  one  appears  to  have  tackled  tlie  word  in 
question. 

I  should  like  to  point  out  that  there  is 
sometliing  to  be  said  for  Jvmius  from  tho 
semantic  point  of  view,  while  a  good  dwJ 
might  be  said  against  Skiimrr's  a86\unption 
tliat  a  particular  dialect  form  of  a  French 
transitive  verb  should  have  bocoine  in 
Hnglisli  an  intransitive  verb,  in  a  sense  UL 
which  its  French  original  is  not  recorded. 
Junius  is  worth  quoting  in  full : — 

"  ^'Aar/',  (raleua  piBciH.    BelgiBiicArocivTi  Mtund^

It  is  uncertain  whether  all  these  words  ai 
related.     F.    escroc    is    certainly    from    Ic  - 
^^rocco.  and  has  rather  au)>erseded  the  old

Aviation  :  Dkaths  of  Pionker  Airmen. 
— In  years  to  come,  when  aeroplanes  will 
probably  be  as  much  in  use  as  motor-cars 
are  now.  the  brave  men  who  have  lost

Casanova  in  Engiand.  (See  10  S.  viii. 
443.  491;  xx.  116;  xi.  437.)— Writing  at 
8  S.  xi.  243,  Mr.  Kichaud  Edoci^^be  says: 
"  It  is  not  possible  to  fix  the  precise  date  of 
Casanova's  departure  from  Ix?ndoii — pro- 
bably in  the  middle  of  October,  1763— 
after  a  residence  of  some  four  or  five  nioiitha." 
Tho  adventurer,  however,  must  have  re- 
mained in  London  much  longer  than  this 
for  he  tells  us  that  towards  the  end  of 
February,  I7fl4,  he  went  to  "  The  Canon 
Tavern  "  f  M6moires,*  Paris,  Garnier  Frere*. 
1888,  voL  vii.  p.  60).  Again,  in  the  Baroc 
edition  of  his  *  Memoirs/  C-asanova  t*ll» 
us  that  he  waa  arrested  on  tho  night  of  th* 
ball  given  at  Madame  Cornelys  s  in  Solio 
Square  to  tho  Prince  of  Brunswick  ut  tli? 
time  of  his  marriage  to  Princess  Auguai^ 
Contomporary  newspapers  show  that  tliis 
entertaiiunent  took  place  on  Tuoadaj'. 
24  January,  1764.  Casanova  makes  the  mts- 
take  of  saying  that  it  was  Sundav  nigli' 
('  M6raoire8,'  1888  ed.,  vol.  vi.  p.  555)*. 

I  have  not  been  able  to  discover  tbe  pftn^ 
graph  which  Casanova  dooUres  waa  | 
in  The  St.  Jameses  Chronicle  descril 
appearance  before  Sir  Jolm  Fieldin;^.  "  '

Quaker  Deputation  to  the  Tzab 
Nicholas  rs  1854. — Several  recent  writers 
— among  them  Lord  Wolseley — have  given 
ciroidation  to  the  story  that  the  Tsar 
Nicholas  was  misled  by  the  Quaker  deputa- 
tion OS  to  the  state  of  public  opinion  in 
England,  and  Kinglake  suggests  that  he 
was  afterwards  indignant  at  liaving  been 
,aa  misled.     When  ciialleiiged,  Lord  Wolseley 


was  imable  to  show  any  evidence  in  support 
of  Itis  story,  which  is  inconsistent  with  the 
published  record  of  the  inter\'iew.  As  I 
ix^ieve.  however,  chat  the  legend  is  still

of  Commons  earlier  tlion  tliat  of  Sir  Robert

Previously  to  settling  in  England,  Sir  Robert 
DavoTB  h(Ml  sat  in  tho  Coiuicil  of  Barbados, 
and  been  one  of  the  Barons  of  the  Court  of 
Exchequer  there,  and  a  Jtidge  of  the  Court 
of  Conunon  Pleas. 

Joseph  Dudley,  a  Now  Englander.  was 
elected  M.  P.  for  NeiA'ton  in  the  Isle  of  Wight, 
in  1701  ;  but  no  earlier  instance  can  be  foimd 
in  tliat  quarter.  It  is.  however,  not  unlikely 
that  some  one  born  in  Virginia,  in  Bermuda, 
or  iu  St.  Christopher's  Island,  may  have 
entered  Parliament  before  So*  Robert  Pavers 
did.

Was  this  Dr.  Kobert  Sumner,  Head  Master

Napoleon  Pbint. — I  possess  a  coloured 
print  of  Napoleon  Bonaparte  (in  a  frame

of  the  Armies  of  Italy,  from  an  original 
drawing  in  the  |>osse88ion  of  tlie  Rev.

4  Nov.,  1797,  by  Jolin  Harris,  Sweeting's 
Alley,  ComliiU,  and  No,  8,  Broad  Street. 

The  question  is.  How  old  was  Napoleon 
when  the  original  drawing  <or  likeness)  was 
made  ?  He  was  bom  on  7  January.  1768, 
at  Ajaccio.  and  registered  under  the  name

Inasbiuch  as  it  seems  to  be  likely,  from 
what  Mr.  W.  S.  Cordee  says,  that  the 
plaster  copies  of  the  i'lantagenet  effigies 
at  the  Crystal  Palace  were  not  made  from 
casts  tak«»n  from  tlio  actual  figures,  there 
can  bo  no  other  source  for  their  repro- 
duction than  the  beautiful  and  faitlilul  etch- 
ings to  scale  by  Charles  Stothard  in  hi^ 
'  Monumental  Effigies.*  It  is  true  that  such 
process  of  reproduction  may  have  been  a 
t-edious  one,  bxit  with  these  accurate  draw- 
ings, a  few  general  measurements,  and 
sketches  of  the  draped  biers  upon  which  the 
figures    reposo,     the     matter    should    have 

£  resented  little  difficulty  to  a  skilful  Imnd. 
[oreover,  Stxithard  in  his  smaller  and 
minutely  etched  plate  gives  the  original 
colours  of  the  vestments  of  all  the  figures  ; 
and  ho  statue  that  the  shaven  facos  of 
Henry  U.  and  Riclmrd  I.  are  stippled  like  a 
miniature,  showing  the  shorn  beard  just  as 
iro  aee  it  in  the  sliavon  face  of  the  warlike 
Wenemaer  (who  died  in  IZ'lb)  in  hia  V)t&«A  at 


Ghent,  and  in  that  of  William  de  Ermiue 
of  1401  in  the  brass  at  C-astle  Ashby. 

But  the  reproductions  of  the  Font«vraud 
effigies  from  drawings  are  not  the  onlv 
ins  tances  o  f  the  practi  cal  use  of  surf i 
authorities.  In  1773  my  mat^'Tnal  grand- 
father. Thomas  Kerrich,  made  a  sonw 
of  drawings  of  many  of  the  early  Frenrli 
effigies,  then  unmutilated.  in  tho  churrluij 
of  the  Dominicans  and  the  Cordeliers  ib 
Paris.  These  drawings,  of  great  accuracy 
and  beauty,  with  details  to  a  larger  size,  wn 
bequeathed  to  the  British  Museum  in  1838 
(Add.  MSS.  6728-59  inclusi>-e).  Eight  of 
the  effigies  were  etched  on  copper  by  Mr 
Kerrich  in  178.').  and  it  was  the  sight  d 
them  wliich  inducc«l  Charloe  Stothard  to 
undertake  his  great  work,  and  to  otch  ihp 
copper  plates  himself.  Mr.  Kerrich's  etclinl 
plates  are  in  my  possession. 

A  few  years  after  the  destruction  of  the 
royal  tombs  and  efiBgies  in  Paris,  the  dii- 
uierabcred  parts  were  collected  by  the  -Ann- 
quary  Alexander  lycnoir,  and  constitnied 
a  valuable  part  of  the  Musee  des  Monuments 
Fran^ais  formed  by  him  in  the  early  yetn 
of  the  nineteenth  century.  In  liis  intfR*t- 
ing  '  Description  du  Mus^  des  Monuinenttt 
Fran9ai8 '  a  vivid  account  is  given  of  the 
opening  of  royal  tombs  at  St.  Denis,  th* 
ransacking  of  the  coffins,  the  condition  '^^ 
the  remains,  and  their  contemptuous  dis- 
persal. 

Soon  after  the  aooeesion  of  Loms  Philip}- 
in  1830,  the  wish  was  expressed  tliat  :i 
dismembered  royal  effigies  should  t- 
restored ;  and  in  furtherance  of  this  c

The  superstition  prevailed  long  before  tlie 
time  of  Richard.  In  wliat  was  known  as 
dw  law  of  ttie  bier,  a  suspected  murderer 
vai required  to  touch  the  body  of  a  murdered 
pmcm.  If  blood  flowed  from  the  wounds,  it 
was  received  as  an  infallible  sign  of  the  guilt 
of  the  person  accused.  This  law  or  ordoal 
was  in  existence  in  diflereat  parts  of  Europe 
from  a  very  early  [period.  It  ia  supposed 
to  have  been  brought  into  England  by  the 
Saxons.  W.  Scott.

— The  oath  is  to  be  fuiuid  iu  several  editions, 
both  early  and  late,  of  the  works  of  Hippo-

printed  in  this  country  by  Peter  Lowe  in  the 
sixteenth  century.  Franci!^  Cliitoti  in  the

It  is  well  known  that  Hippocrates  was  bom 
in  the  isle  of  Cos,  B.C.  46*1 ;  but  what  is  per- 
haps not  so  generally  knon*n  is  that  his  family 
for  nearly  300  years  followed  the  profession 
of  physic,  and  produced  seven  ]>hysicianB. 
and  it  is  quite  possible  that  the  father  of 
!  medicine  lumaelf  and  liis  sons  employed  tliis 
form  of  oath  or  stipulatiun  when  taking  a 
pupil.  One  of  his  sons  was  of  the  Court  of

"  Sparrow-blasted  "  (11  S.  ii.  267» 
31 8). — The  two  meanings  given  at  t)ie 
latter  reference  ob>*iously  do  not  explain 
its  uso  in  the  quotation  from  '  The  Holy 
War'  given  at  the  lirst  reference.  The 
'  N.E.U.'  under  *  Blasting '  gives  as  one 
of  its  uses  *'  t  1  b.  Flatulence  :  breaking 
of  wind.  Obs."  It  is  this  that  Mr.  Carnal- 
Security  cliaflingly  quericB  as  the  cause  of 
Mr.  Oodly-Fcar's  rimorousness.  "  Sparrow- 
blasting  '  in  this  senso.  the  only  sense  in 
which  I  ever  heard  it  tised.  is  still  U9>ed 
oct^asionally.  £.  G.  B. 

Tliere  need  be  little  doubt  that  tlie  plu-ase 
"  sparrow-blasted  "  was  invented  by  Bunyan 
himself.  Its  meaning  may  easily  be  inferred 
from  the  context.  Tlie  sparrow  is  one  of  the 
smallest,  commoneAt,  foenlest  of  birds.  No 
person  of  intelligence  woidd  be  afraid  of  a 
sparrow,  or  would  dread  any  injury  tliat 
Huch  an  insignificant  bird  could  inflict.  Mr. 
Carnal-Security  is  endeavouring  to  shame 
Air,  Godly-Fear  out  of  his  position.  Hence 
to  be  ■*  sparrow-blasted  "  will  mean  "  to  be 
overcome  by  terror  absurdly  dispropor- 
iioned  fn  the  cause  that  produces  it.

"G.AME  LEG'*  (11  S.  ii.  229.  296.315).— 
Miss  Baker  (' Glossary  of  Northamptonshire 
Words  and  Phrases')  has  :  "  Game- Leg. 
A  larao  leg ;  derived  from  tlio  British  gam, 
or  cam,  crooked."  She  also  refers  to  Grose's 
'  Provincial  Glossary,'  Brockett's  '  Glossary 
of  North-Country  Words,'  Carr's  *  Craven 
Dialect,'  Forby'a  '  Vocabxdary  of  Kast 
Anglia,'  llolloway's  *  Uictionarj'  of  Pro- 
vincialisms,' and  Halliwell's  '  Dictionary  of 
Archaic  and  Provincial  Words.' 

I  first  heard  "  gammy-leg  "  in  London. 
John  T.  Paok, 

A  man  or  woman  who  walks  lame  is 
naid  to  have  a  "gammy  leg."  A  Umb, 
wliether  hand,  arm.  leg.  or  foot,  twisted  or 
distorted  from  birth  or  by  an  accident,  is 
'•gammy."  and  in  particular  the  word  is 
used  by  persons  suffering  from  *'  runmiy  *'  = 
Wipunifltic   Of  gouty   paiiis.  wheu  s^wakin^ 


of  their  ailment  or  when  asked,  how  they  are 
getting  on.  It  is  tlie  same  with  pain  in  any 
other  jjart  of  tho  body,  and  some  will  say. 
**  Oh  !  my  gammy  back."  Others  use  Uie 
word  *'  game."  wliioh  virtually  is  the  same, 
and  means  something  bodily  amiss.

Caklin  Sunday  and  "Tub  Hole"  in

old  newspaper  (the  date  of  wliich  is  un* 
fortunatofy  not  given,  but  probably  about 
1830)  1  cull  the  following  : — 

"  VLftterday  Ciu-lin  Nnndnv  waa  celebrated  sftcr 
the  iisutti  custcini  at  the  Hole- in- the- \V till,  Fleet 
Street,  when)  uiiwarda  of  \'2  buKhels  of  nr»y  Iffa 
were  (irc]>are<l  for  the  men  of  Uie  Noi'l-li.  TTw 
origin  of  this  singular  feast  is  as  foUuw»;-MMr 
years  since  a  battle  was  fought  at  Newca}>tle.  When 
the  inhabituots  were  on  tht?  eve  of  HtarvHlittu.  s 
vessel  entered  the  i>ort  (on  the  fifth  Sunday  in 
Lsnt)  tilled  with  gray  peas  which  wure  Ined  in 
oil,  and  thus  saved  the  lives  ot  several  thooiaid 
IwrBons,"

St.  SwiTHiN  at  10  S.  ix.  374,       H.  Long.

The  festival  kept  in  tho  North  on  Faaoion 
Sunday  c^{>rreftponds  closely — aa  regards  lliB 
festal  *  food — with  tho  festival  of  Palm 
Sunday  in  l*rovent;«,  of  which  1  gave  an 
account  two  and  a  half  years  ago  (10  S.  ix. 
1281 ).  Grey  peas  are  eaten  in  the  North 
instead  of  the  Southern  obick-peoa.  and 
the  reason  given  for  eating  these  kinds  ol 
pulse  shou's  an  evident  common  origin  for 
the  (!Uflton\. 

In  Provence  the  legend  is  that  son:>e  shifi0 
laden  with  clxick-peas  arrived  at  Maraeillii 
on  Palm  Suntlay.  1418,  when  then*  was 
famine  in  tho  land.  In  Scotland,  the  ships 
laden  math  grey  peas  arrived  at  Leith  on 
Passion  Sunday  in  famine  time,  and  it 
about  tho  same  jioriod.

This  all-a1x)uiiding  prefix  ge-  practically 
pOTiBhed  in  rather  early  times.  The  g 
wforo  c  waa  early  sounded  a«  .y.  and  ge- 
wfts  pronounced  as  ye.  The  Normans 
dropped  initial  y  in  Bcores  of  words,  and  ao 
ye-  was  red\ioed  to  c,  as  in  the  word  enough 
(A.-S.  gen6h),  or  t«  y-,  as  in  y-clept  {A.-S. 
gecUped)  ;  and  then  tlie  slight  uiiHtreeaed 
initial  e-  or  y-  (or  •-)  verj-  hoou  pt^riahed 
altogetlier.  Hence  the  A.-S.  gefera  became 
Mid.  Eng.  */frc,  and  then  /ere  ;  and  in  Tudor 
tiniefl  became  fere,  feere,  ft-er,  phef-re,  Ac. 
Pheere  is  an  absurd  snpUinR.  due  to  the

— Owing  to  the  Vacation  and  mv  abceac» 
abroad.  I  have  only  just  seen  the  repMf* 
kindly  »ent  by  your  correspondonta.  t'n- 
fortunately,  with  the  exception  of  Mr,  A.  S, 
Elus,  they  do  not  afford  me  any  new  infor 
niation,  but  I  wigh  to  make  tho  following 
further  remarks. 

1.  Could  Mr,  Pink  kindly  tell  me  whtt 
authority  he  has  for  stating  that  John 
Brooke  of  Bristol  was  eall^  to  the  coil  in 
Kovembor.  1510  ?  I  know  that  two  b»r- 
riatera  named  Brooke  (Christian  name  un- 
known) are  alleged  by  Uugdale  to  haw  br« 
90  called:  one  in  1505  (Foas  says  1503), 
the  other  in  1510.  Are  there  any  lists  ^4 
Serjeants  extant  in  which  their  Christian 
names  appear  ?  Again,  I  would  point  out 
that  this  Jolin  Brooke  was  at  one  time  un- 
doubtedly a  judge. 

2.  I  would  aUo  remind  Ma.  C.  Wnu 
that  John  Brooke  died  in  1522  {not  IMSl; 
the  latter  date  ia  probably  a  misprint. 

3.  1  should  i>e  much  obliged  to  Mb.  Kurf 
if  Ik*  could  kindly  inform  me  whether  b* 
works  contain  any  information  vililrli  urrulJ 
enable  mo  to  prove  or  disprov- 

of  Jo!m  Brooke  the  Treasurer  .■■■■■  il-* 
Temple  (1601-4)  with  Jolm  Brooke  of  Bmiol, 
the  serjoant  and  judge.  According  to  ih" 
Somersetshire  Visitation,  the  fatlier  of  the 
latter  was  Hug)i  Brooke,  who  is  stated  to 
be  a  third  (not  an  eighth)  son.  The  naiw 
seems  to  liavo  been  very  common  at  that 
period.  Thus  there  is  a  third  legal  Johfi 
Brooke  who  was  a  senior  member  of  ^ 
Inner  Temple  in  1 535.  The  name  alao  of  lJ»

the  emerald  ring,  whicli  John  of  Salisbury 
says  was  presented  by  Hadrian  IV.  to  Henry 
II.  in  1155.  and  the  name  "  Kiuwald  IkIc." 
bestowed  on  Ireland  because  of  itii  prevailing 
^'erdnre,  as  Henrj'  hod  no  connexion  with 
that  country  before  hfi  took  refuge  there 
in  1171.  from  fear  of  the  impendixig  Inter-

Bull  Laudabiliter  of  Pope  Adrian  IV~.  and 
the  Privilegium  of  Alexondar  111.  con- 
firming it  are  both  ftpuriotm.  It  would 
perhaps  hardly  be  correct  to  term  them 
forgeries,  as  there  is  no  reason  lo  believe 
that  pseiuio- originals  ever  existed,  the  text 
of  the  alleged  documenta  being  luiown  only 
from  GiralduB  Cambrcnsis.  Dr.  Round  iliinla 
that  the  tlireo  genuine  letters  of  Alcxandfr

employed  in  the  concoction  of  Laudabiliter. 
See  his  paper  on  *  The  Pope  and  the  Conquoit 
of  Ireland,'  pubUahed  in  his  '  Commune  of 
London  and  other  Studies,*  pp.  17I-2tW, 
Tlie  sequence  of  events  therein  established 
is  that  the  legate  and  prelates  of  Ireland, 
assembled  at  the  Synod  of  Coahel  (1171-2). 
drew  up  letters  to  the  Pope  on  the  state  ol 
Ireland :  that  Henr^*  dispatched  thoee  lo 
Rome  in  charge  of  Half,  Archdetfccon  U 
Llandttff ;  that  the  Pope,  after  reading  tU 
letters  aaid  hearing  Half's  report,  sent  bodt 
the  tlireo  letters  of  20  September,  i  172 : 
and  that  the  King  sent  these  on  to  Ireland 
in  the  care  of  William  Fitz  Audelin  at  soiw 
date  between  Michaelmas,  1 1 72,  and  Mirba?!- 
mas,  1173. 

Dr.  Round  shows,  however,  that  Giraldv 
gives  the  alleged  Prixilegium  of  AlfxandfT 
OS  the  reply  which  he  sent  to  the  report  of  the 
Synod  of  Cushel,  and  holds  that,  as  itie  tJirw*

by  the  champions  of  the  English  title  to

Jane  Austen's  Dkath  (11  S.  ii,  3-18). — 
In  hia  '  Memoir  of  .lane  Austen  '  the  novel- 
ist's nephew,  Mr.  J.  E.  Austen  Leigh,  does 
not  dolinilely  name  the  last  illness,  but  his 
various  references  seein  to  indicate  tlw 
progress  of  an  insidious  and  fatal  malady. 
"  Early  in  the  year  1810,"  ho  writes, 
'•some  family  trouhles  diRturbed  the  usual  trannuil 
oonrst'  of  Jane  Austen's  life ;  and  it  is  i.>rfibAble  that 
the  inward  malady,  which  was  to  prove  fatal,  wnr 
alremly  felt  hy  her. 

l>ater  he  says  : — 

"It  waji  not  attended  with  much  suffering;  bo 
tlmt  she  waa  able  to  tell  her  friends.  .  and  perhaps 
flomctimea  to  porsuade  herself,  that,  exoeptinn  want 
of  fltrrngth,  «hc  wan  'otherwise  ver>'  well' :  but  the 
pro^re^M  of  the  disease  l>ecame  mure  aud  oiore 
inaiiifeet  ae  tho  year  advanced.'* 

A  nieoe  who  visitod  the  invalid  in  the 
spring  of  1817  found  her  very  infirm.  "  She 
wiis  very  pale,"  this  lady  reported  in  after 
years  ; 

'*her  voice  waa  weak  and  low,  and  there  was  about 
her  a  senerAl  appearance  of  debility  and  rafferiiiK: 
but  I  have  been  told  that  »lie  never  ha<i  much  acute 
pain.  She  was  not  etiual  to  the  exertion  of  talking 
to  us.  and  our  visit  to  the  sick  room  was  a  very 
short  one." 

A  month  or  two  later,  on  18  July,  1817, 
Jane  Austen  died.  The  inference  one 
readily  drawrt  from  the  statements  quoted 
may  be  incorrect,  but  it  is  inevitable, 
Henry  Morley  gives  it  expression  in  lus 
*  First  Sketch  of  English  literature.'  p.  913, 
where  lie  refers  to  tlio  finishing  of  '  Persua- 
sion '  in  1816,  and  adds:  *' Consumption 
was  then  already  drawing  her  days  to  a 
close."  Thomas  Bayxk. 

TiiD  disease  to  which  Jane  Austin  fell 
a  victim  was  consumption  : — 

"The  insidious  decay  or  consumption  which 
carried  off  Miss  Austen  seemed  only  to  increase  the 
nowers  of  her  mind.  She  wrote  while  she  could

as  an  orator.     But  be  was  allied  to 

,  I  nft^r  a  vear  of  practical  politics  was 

Ibprelv    r.-iiHided  as  "a  nolitiral  adventurer  with 

nniat^Ui^blfi     opinions.        friticH    will    differ    as 


to  the  depth  and  sincerity  of  his  early  opinions, 
but  it  seems  clear  that  he  was  largely  influenced 
by  the  choine  of  the  friends  most  likely  to  help 
bini.  In  the  '  Diary  '  fur  1833  he  has  a  passage 
(tf  Mublime  prescience  cooceming  his  powers.  He 
begins  a  paragraph  by  saying  that  his  conceit  is 
largely  due  to  nervousness.  But  be  can  "  read 
rharacten*  at  a  glance  ;  few  men  can  deceive  me- 
My  mind  is  a  continental  mind.  It  Is  a  revolu- 
tionary mind.  I  om  only  truly  great  iti  action. 
If  ever  1  nm  placet!  in  a  truly  eminent  position 
I  shall  prove  this.  I  could  rule  the  Ilouse  of 
Conmions,  although  there  would  be  a  great  pre- 
judice against  me  at  first.  It  is  the  most 
jealous  asBcmbly  in  the  world.  The  fixed  charac- 
ter of  our  Kngli-^h  fjociety,  the  confiequeuce  of  our 
aristocratic  institutions,  renders  a  career  ditllcult," 

The  career  was  fully  aeliieved  by  the  man  wh*» 
was  at  once  capable  of  the  wildest  extravagance  in 
dress  and  of  wTitiug  in  prose  blank-verse  raptures 
on  coiikcry.  "  Henrietta  "  olone,  the  heroine  of 
'  Henrietta  Temple,'  seems  to  have  been  near 
turning  liim  from  the  course  of  his  ambition. 
Helping  us  ox  a  rule  by  his  annotations,  Mr.  Mony- 
penny gives  us  no  clue  to  the  family  of  the  lady. 
At  this  distance  of  time  there  can  surely  bo  lio 
harm  in  tbe  revelation.  Was  she  not  a  daughter 
of  the  flfth  Karl  of  Berkeley  and  Mary  Cole  ? 

We  have  said  enough,  we  hope,  to  indicate  the 
grt^t  interest  of  the  volume.  The  author  has 
shown  admirable  industry  and  good  judgment. 
With  bis  literary  verdicts  on  the  novels  and  other 
writings  we  arc  satisfied,  except  that  tlic  merits  of 
the  Luclanlo  pieo^  Be«m  to  us  overrated.  Ahould 
not  the  opportunity  be  taken  to  produce  a  new 
annotated  edition  of  the  novels  ?  The  '  l.ett^ 
of  Hunnyniede  '  too,  of  which  we  seldom  hear~ 
nowadaya,  contain  some  admirable  writing. 

Therk  is  no  purely  literary  article  In  The 
National  lievitto  for  this  month,  which  continues 
its  outspoken  attacks  on  the  Government.  Mr.

spends  to(j  much  time  in  mere  rhetoric  of  the 
debating  sort.  M.  Bent*  Feibelman  In  *  Leopold 
TI.  and  Albert  T.'  shows  what  an  improvement 
tbe  new  ruler  of  Belgium  is  on  tbe  old.  The  young 
monarch  speaks  iudiciously.  moves  freely  amongst 
ids  subjects,  and  takcts  a  keen  interest  in  home- 
affairs  as  well  ae  politics.  Mr.  ('.  F.  Downham 
in  *  The  Trade  in  Feathers :  a  Case  for  the 
Defence.'  declares  that  humanftarinns  have 
trrossly  exoKKcrated  their  complaints  aKuinst  the* 
trade  "which  he  represent**.  Part  of  hii  argument 
resolves  itself  Into  the  familiar  thesis  that  two 
blacks  make  a  whit r.  H e  a<Ids,  however,  a 
definite  denial  of  the  assertion  thnt  feathers 
are  only  profitable  when  rich  in  tbe  brjlliancy  of 
tbe  breed in«-HeaMon.  Tbi*  is  so,  lie  admiU, 
with  the  egi'ct^.  but  he  innintalns  that  more  than 
half  the  supply  is  obtained  from  feather*  naturally 
shed  by  the' birds.  "Wife  of  Bath"  ha<  an

RICHARD     l>OYLE.     WILLIAM     NKW- 
MAX,    AND    'PUNCH* 

Sni  F.  C.  Bt'RKAND,  in  the  October  number 
of  The  Dublin  Review  (*  **  Piincl» "  and 
Pontiffs  '),  discussing  Doyle's  secession  from 
the  paper,  says :  '  There  did  not  happen 
to  be  any  other  CathoHe  on  the  atan  in 
Doyle's  time."  It  Rooms  strange  that  Sir 
Francis  should  forget — stranger  still  if  ho 
never  heard— liow  William  Nownnan,  a 
moat  devout  Catliolic,  organist  of  a  church, 
an  artist,  who  liad  been  engaged  on  Punch 
from  its  birth,  and,  wntliout  a  break,  till 
1850,  resigned  his  post  together  with  Doyle, 
and  from  similar  con-scientioiw  scruples. 

Phiz,  Kenning,  and  Newman  were,  at  the 
inaugural  diimer  at  *'  The  Edinburgh  (^astle." 
ofticially  nominated  to  form  the  artistic 
staff.  Phiz  de>%igned  the  WTappcr  ;  Henning 
sketched  the  cartoons  for  Nor,  1  and  3  ; 
Newman  drew  the  cartoon  for  No.  2  ;  wliile 
Tj©«'h,  in  those  early  days  merely  an 
'*  occasional,"*  made  his  tirst  appearance  with 
tlie  cartoon  for  No.  4  *  Foreign  Affairs !  ' 
Newman  had,  prior  to  this,  worked  for 
LandelU  and  .los»'ph  Last,  the  founders  and, 
for  a  time,  cliicf  proprietors  of  Punchy  and 
bade  fair  to  be  chief  cartoonist  aftor  Henning 
had  l>een  "  sl>elved."  Rut  Newman  was 
of  a  shy.  diflident  nature,  and  was  pushed 
aside,  first  by  the  self-confident,  woll- 
maintained  Crowquill  ;  and  next  by  the 
rapid  development  of  Leech's  marvellous 
talent.  On  tiie  one  topic  of  religion,  I  have 
been  told.  Newman  could  ajwak  well  and 
fluently  ;  Herbert,  the  H.A.,  is  said  to  have 
been  glad  of  Newman's  company  whenever  he 
had  to  pay  visits  where  eccfesiaRtical  matters 
uiight  he  di.sfussed. 

It  was  far  more  serious  for  Newman  to 
relinquish  Punch  than  for  Doyle ;  for, 
despite  his  undoubted  talent  (of  a  sort), 
Newman  had  entirely  failed  to  *'  make  his 
mark,"  and  he  liad  no  private  means. 
Save  for  a  temporary  lift  with  the  issue 
of  Diogenet  (1853-5),  life  became  a  weari- 
some struggle  for  him.  At  last,  when  the 
Civil  War  broke  out,  he  received  an  offer 
from  a  New  York  paper  {Vanity  Fair, 
^  think),  and  went  to  America.  Presum- 
ably, with  his  record  as  "one  of  the  Punch 
art48ts,"  ho  succeeded.  Rut  so  little  was 
his  name  known  liero  in  England,  beyond  a 
few  customers  and  acquaintances,  it  would 
be  oiJy  by  chance  that  one  miglit  fix  the 
date  or  the  place  »f  liis  deatli.  The  brilliant 
BohemiariB  who  formed  the  Diogenes  staff 
treated  Newman  with  scant  respect ;  beixi^ 


all  men  who  liad  *'  arrived,"  they  prol 
despised  a  strugglcr  who  never  seem* 
"get  on."  HEBBKftT  R.  ClaytoitJ

Although  tho  author  in  tho  preface  styles 
this  a  "  treatise,"  it  is  not  vorj'  systematic, 
And  takes  for  granted  an  acquaintance 
with  the  tools  used  in  the  art.  as  no  descrip- 
tion of  thcui  is  civen.  The  first  section 
deals  with  "  forwarding  "  (folding,  backing, 
boarding,  cutting,  and  cutting  out  of 
boards)  ;  Uien  follow  directions  and  recipes 
for  colouring  edges  ;  after  these,  instmctionR 
for  marbling  ;  and  lastly  the  preparation  of 
colours  for  baoks.  Two  pages  of  "useful

Feeling  interested  in  tliis  first  Engl  i  sli 
contribution  to  tho  literature  of  what  Han- 
nett  called  "  bibliopegia,"  1  was  curious  as 
to  its  authorship.  The  usual  authorities 
ignore  the  book,  whi^h  appears  to  bo  very 
•carce.  I  appealed  to  my  friend  Mr.  Thomas 
Owen,  the  editor  of  tho  O^vcMn/  Commercial 
Circular,  and  found  that,  notwitlistanding 
his  great  knowledge  of  local  history,  he  had 
never  heard  of  tliis  particular  printer,  who 
la  said  to  have  printed  an  edition  of  the 
•  Westminster  Confession  of  Faith.'  T)ie 
result  of  Ins  inquiries  is  that  Nathaniel 
Minshall.  printer  at  Oswestry,  afterwards 
became  a  soliritor,  and  was  the  founder  of 
a  firm  now  in  practice.  Mr.  Owen  thinks 
that  Minshall,  who  was  essentially  practical 
in  liis  character,  was  the  writer,  as  well  as 
the  printer,  of  tliis,  which  I  Ijfliove  to  be 
the  lirst  English  book  on  bookbinding.  If 
there  is  an  earlier,  I  should  be  glad  to  hear 
of  it.  WiLUAM  E.  A.  Axon.

"  Rights  of  Man  "  ;  Omoinator  or 
THE  PfTRASE.  —  Without  doubt  Thomas 
Paine  is  generally  credited  as  being  tho 
originator  of  this  title,  but  I  have  just  mot 
with  a  statement  made  by  Thomas  Spenc^ 
in  liis  '  Pig's  Meat,'  vol.  iii.  p.  250,  in  wliich 
he  states  that  he  used  it  many  years  before 
Paine  published  *  The  Rights  of  Man.' 

In  1794  Thomas  Spenco  was  confined  in 
Newgate  upon  a  charge  of  high  treason, 
and  there  he  wrote  a  song,  *  Tlie  Rights  of 
Man.'  This  song  was  reprinted  in  *  Pig's 
Meat/  vol.  iii.,  with  the  following  foot- 
note:— 

'*  The  composer  of  this  song  was  the  first  who, 
«o  far  as  he  knDU'H.  inAde  lue  of  the  phrase  *  RiKht^ 
of  Man,'  which  won  oa  the  following  rermu-kable 
occasion  :  A  inan  who  hud  been  a  farmer,  and 
also  n  miner,  and  who  had  been  ill-uaod  by  his

J^ad,  »boat  the  year  1780,  and  the  singularity  of 


Bueh  a  habitation  excited  the  curioeHy  of  many  to

he  wrote  extempore  with  challc,  above  the  flrc- 
pLaco  of  this  f^l^edman,  the  following  lines  :— 

Ye  landlords  vile,  who  man's  peace  mar,

Bbadshaw's  Alleged  BrRTAi,  in 
Ja3«aica.  {See  3  S.  ii.  412,  458.)— The 
tradition  in  Jamaica  that  Brad$haw  s  rr- 
mains  are  interred  in  a  remote  spot  in  lb«t 
island  has  some  countenance  in  the  fari 
that  his  son.  with  sons  of  two  other  Rp;pcid«, 
removed  to  Jamaica. 

Subjoined  is  an  extract  from  a  docuni0it 
preserved  at  Fulham  Palace.  Tlie  paper 
IS  not  signed  or  dated,  but  is  endorsed  as 
of  1724.  From  internal  evidence  it  appe«n 
to  be  a  Report  to  the  Biahop  of  London,  by 
his  Commissary  in  Jamaica,  upon  the  a(at« 
of  the  Church  in  that  island  in  1723-4. 
Incidentally,  mention  is  made  by  the 
writer  (probably  the  Rev.  William  May) 
of  the  fact  that  sons  of  Bradsliaw.  Scot,  and 
Harrison  hail  settled  in  the  island.

st-andard.  in  which  the  pint  was  about  an  old 
wino-quart.  and  the  quart  presumably  about 
two  wirie-(iu»rts.  But  both  "  Winchester 
quart"  ami  "  t-orbyu  "  correspond,  not  to 
this  old  wine -standard,  but  to  that  of  the  old 
ale-gallon,  equal  to  about  103  fluid  ounces, 
the  imperial  gallon  being  IGO  ounces.  Did 
they  become  increaued  from  tlie  standard  of 
the  old  wino-gallon,  1 33  ouncea  {or  the 
French  galon  or  half-vehc,  139  ounces), 
to  that  of  the  ale-gallon  ? 

There  does  not  aeem  any  probability  of 
tlieir  iiaving  oome  from  th«  Channel  Inlands 
(in  the  diocese  of  Winchester).  Guernsey 
has  a  "  quinte,"  one-fifth  of  the  "  denerel. 
equal,  for  corn,  to  our  old  biuhel  ;  but  it  has 
no  quart,  at  least  no  local  quart.  Jersey 
has  a  gallon  equal  to  143  fluid  ounces. 

As  to  the  name  **  corbyn,"  it  may  liavo 
been  originally  a  proper  name  attached  to 
this  peculiar  shape  of  bottle,  liaU  the 
Winchester  quart.

Printer's  Bible.— The  edition  of  the 
Bible  in  wlucli  the  singular  misprint  occurs 
in  Psalm  cxix.,  **  Printers  have  pen*ocuted 
mo  without  a  cause,"  the  word  "printers" 
being  an  error  for  "  princes,"  has  always 
been  elusive. 


I  hax'o  rt^cently.  by  the  kindness  of  Mr. 
W.  J.  WilUams.  been  given  a  clue  which 
may  Ipad  to  the  diBCovery  of  tlio  actual  issue 
in  which  tJie  misprint  occurs.  In  the  work 
by  Samuel  Crook  entitled  'Divine  Characters,' 
and  published  after  his  death,  in  1658,  the 
publishers  in  their  preface  refer  to 

"what  once  by  the  like  sapiue  oarelessncase  and 

niifaithfiilneine  l)efell  the  Holy  Bible  itself,  printed 

in  8"  Anno  11112,  wherein  (anions  many  other  fatilU

I  Paal.  Princes  have  persecuted  roe  E^  tjie  words,  in 

I  many  Books  of  tliat  Impreaaioii  mu  thus,  Pninttn

This  appear^;  to  fix  the  date  of  the  iwniv 
in  which  the  ininprint  occurs,  but  the  whol9 
of  the  8vo  copies  of  the  1612  edition  in  th« 
British  Museum  and  in  tlie  Bible  Society'a 
collection  have  been  examined  without 
result.  I  niay  add,  liowcvcr,  that  the  data 
18  a  little  doubtful,  as  the  lant  figure  a 
rather  bad  in  tlie  copy  I  have  seen,  and  it 
is  just  possible  tliat  1613  may  b«  referred 
to.  I  shall  bo  very  glad  if  any  of  your 
readers  can  supply  further  infoTmatiun  with

long  since  been  ashamed,  and  Blmuld  lure 
destroyed  all  the  copies  of  t  Itt*  work,  had  it

large  town,  having  a  population  of

*  diiBcult  matter  to  get  a  certificate  of 
Qufinuti's  birth.  I  imaG:tno  that  even  in

for  over  forty  years,  and  I  tliiiik  that  the 
matters  they  dtsclnAo  are  of  sufHeient 
interest,  not  only  to  Englisli.hut  al*>  F'rcnph 
readers,  to  merit  a  place  in  '  N.  A:  Q.' 

When  my  notice  of  Querard  M'as  published 
in  18G7  the  printer*  liad  a  lar^fe  bill  in  the 
window  announcing  its  pubhcation.  This 
attracted  the  notice  of  a  passer-by,  who 
entered  and  was  given  my  addres;^.  He 
called  on  me  and  left  his  card,  and  it  i.s  now 
before  me.  It  reads  "  J.  Molas,  gold  and 
silversmith,  electro  water  gilder  [Ac],  18 
Pudrtiugton  street,  Marylebone  [Ac.],"  On 
the  ha'-k  is  written  in  pencil  "  J.  O.  Molas." 
and  underneath  that  j*ignature  another, 
viz.  *•  J.  G.  Qu^rard."  >Ie  left  word  that 
he  would  call  on  n\e,  and  he  canke  soon  after. 
He  :^id  that  he  had  never  heard  of  his 
father*<i  death,  and  he  was  very  nmnh 
astjjnished  on  leading  the  announcement 
of  the  biography  in  the  printer's  window. 
He  t'^tld  nie  lus  mother's  maiden  name  was 
Molas,  and  lie  liad  taken  it  as  he  did  nut  %mh 
to  be  identified.  She  died  in  18.'J4.  two 
months  after  he  was  bom.  After  lier 
death  M.  Boasange  wanted  O^i^ftrd 
to  marry  his  daughter,  but  Querard's 
wound  I>eing  still  fresh,  ho  would  not. 
I  asked  lum  what  were  Ms  full  baptismal 
names,  and  putting  a  piece  of  paper  before 
him,  wliich  I  still  have,  he  wrote  '"  Julee 
Gustavo."  He  told  me  that  in  1848  he 
quarrelled  with  his  father.  In  i8.>l  lie  saw 
his  father  again  and  helped  him  in  his 
work,  bnt  he  was  taken  away  by  the  con- 
scription, and  never  aaw  liis  father  again- 
He  left,  promising  to  bring  me  furtlier  infor- 
mation about  his  father.  Next  I  received 
the  following  letters,  u  liich  1  print  with 
their  brackets,  mistakes  in  speUing,  &c.  : —

'  Mot  in  our  National  Libmi^. 


Henri  Plon  was  the  publisher  of  Augostio 
Jal's  '  Dictionnair©  de  biogrftphic  et  d'his- 
toir©/  1872.  I  first  mentioned  this  great 
work  in  *  N.  A:  Q.'  at  4  S.  xi.  41  ;  luid  Jals 
death  I  recorded  at  4  S.  xii.  186  (B  Sept., 
1873).  His  work  was  not  much  used  by 
English  readers,  as  its  clean  state  aftor 
being  thirty  years  on  the  reference  riielves 
of  our  Nationtil  Libraiy  testified.  Accord- 
incly  it  was  turned  out  of  the  Keading* 
Room  in  1907.  The  copy  at  tlw?  Iliblio- 
thequo  Kationale,  Paris,  \\-»r  in  a  \-ery 
thumbed  and  dirty  state  wlien  I  last  saw  it 
Qu^ard's  name  is  mentioned  on  pp.  1077 
and  1093. 

I  never  heard  of  or  from  Qu^rard'*  wn 
again.  Surely,  if  I  had  eiven  his  father'* 
names  incorrectly,  the  first  thine  ^^  would 
liave  told  n\e  would  have  been  that  I  hid 
not  got  his  father's  names  right. 

I  have  only  just  become  aware  that  my 
pamphlet  (as  bj'  O.  Hanst,  jfic)  is  tnentioiiMl 
in  the  tenth  vohuno  of  Brunei's  '  Manoel.' 
1880.  When  I  see  tho  praise  piven  tn 
Qu^rard  by  J.  C.  Bronot  in  his  ^  ManueL* 
and  also  tliat  by  F6Ux  Boiu^uelot  in  *  ta 
litt<^rature  franvaise  contemporaine,'  and 
consider  how  intractable  and  wrong  Uu«^f«rd 
was,  1  am  astonished  at  my  youthful  oo^ 
fiidedness. 

My  pamplilet  is  also  enumeratetd  with 
minute  acciu*acy  in  that  splendid  work  of  H- 
(Georges  Vicaire,  the  '  Manuel  de  Tatnateaf 
de  U\Tes'  (1907),  vol.  vi.  p.  895).  But  with 
all  liis  minutenefts  M.  Vicaii^  does  not 
say  why  he  adopts  "  Jean "  instead  of 
""  Joseph."  Larousse'ft  "  Grand  Dirtioii- 
naire  *  has  a  very  appreciative  article  on 
Quf^rord  witli  what  I  should  think  is  a  jtisl 
estimation  of  his  qualities  and  defeo1a> 
They  call  him  Joseph,  and  say  he  died 
3  December,  which  is  wrong.  '  l«a  (Sraodc 
EncyclopMie '  also  calls  him  Joeepli. 
Neither  of  these  enoyolop«»diaa  mentions 
Qu^rard's  son,  nor  does  any  on<»  of  tlii* 
funeral  orations  which  1  reproduced  by  Paul 
Lacroix,  G.  Brunet.  and  J.  Ass^-zat,  though 
the  last-named  mentions  lii.s  family  (p.  «J 
and  his  widow  (p.  43).  What  was  his  fiunilv. 
and  who  was  his  widow  ?

Jamgs  Fea,  Obk>ky  AiTHOR  (U  S.  ii. 
308). — Fea  is  a  name  somewhat  uncommon 
in  Scotland.  It  seems  originally  to  Jinrv 
been  confined  to  the  Orkney  Islands.  During 
the  seventeenth  centurj-  six  different  fandli* 
of  tho  name  ore  mentioned  in  old  recnrJ*.

number  had  <l\rindlod  to  foiir.  due  no  doubt 
to  many  F^as  leaving  the  islands  to  puith 
tiieir  fortunes  elsewhere.  At  this  period 
the  name  emerges  at  Leitli,  and  even  in 
Italy.  Towards  the  close  of  last  century 
there  wero  but  two  families  of  tlie  name 
left  in  1 1  le  Orkneys.  D uriiig  these  t  hree 
centuries,  only  one  family  of  Feaa  can  be 
traced  with  something  hko  unbroken  con- 
tinuity. The  will  of  James  Fea  of  Clestrain 
(or  Clestron),  in  the  island  of  Stronsay, 
wau  regJBtered  28  April.  1630.  In  1724 
James  Fea,  younger,  of  Glestron,  probably 
a  grandson  of  the  foregoing,  dintinguished 
(timself  by  the  capture  of  the  pirate  Gow. 
See  the  piefwe  to  Scott's  *'  Piratf.'*  In 
1750  James  Fea  of  Cleatrain,  probably  a 
son  of  tho  ppeoeding,  and  lieutenant  in  the 
•3rd  Regiment  of  Foot,  married,  at  St. 
Clement's  Chureli,  Strand,  London,  Anno 
Jane  Maria  Herriot  Corbett  or  Connack, 
daupiiter  of  Jolm  Corbett  or  Connack, 
Hitomej'  at  law,  retiiding  in  the  city  of  Lan- 
lASter.  There  was  a  son  born  of  this  union, 
liut  in  1770  the  same  James  Fea,  described 
nt  dale  as  *'  late  lieutenant  in  the  7.3rd 
Hegiment,"  instituted  a  proress  of  divoreo 
against  his  wife.  About  1870  the  male  line 
M  the  Feas  of  Clestreun  appears  to  have 
'erniiuated. 

Otlier   Feas  in   Orkney  during  the  eigh- 
teenth   f(>ntury   are   mentioned   in   contom- 
porary  nnnalH.     In  1722  James  Fea  of  White- 
nail  intro<luced  the  Kelp  industry  into  the 
island    of    Stronsay.      He    is    said    to    have 
brought     H     man     named     Meldrum     from 
Fraserburgli  to  teach  the  natives  the  process. 
ti  is  posaiiile  that  James  Fea  of  the  query 
[bay  liave  been  a  son  of  Ftta  of  \Vliitehall» 
bat    of    t  his    there   ir   no   certainty.      Ho    is 
credited  with  tJio  authorship  of  throe  books  : 
[I)  '  The  general  Grievances  and  Ojiprossion 
Qf  the  Isles  of  Orkney  and  Shetland,'  Edin- 
burgh,  1760.     Tliis  work  was  aiuiounced  aa 
published  under  siuveral  lieads,  but  Halkett 
■ad  Laing  assert  that  it  was  not  continued 
■^pnd    chapt.    i.    of    Part    TI.     (2)    'The 
Bnent    State     of    the    Orkney     Islands.' 
printed  at   Holy -Rood   House,    Edinburgh, 
1775,     A  copy  of  tho  book  is  in  the  Edin- 
kargh    Advocates'    Library.     (3)    *  Accoimt 
of  the  Methods  of  Fishing  practised  on  the 
Coasts  of  Shetland,"  Edinburgh.  1775.     This 
■eems  to  be  a  different  work  from  the  '  Con- 
siderations on  tho  Fisheries  '   mentioned  in 
tho  ouery. 

I  00  not  know  when  or  where  this  James 
l^ea  Iho  suj^on  dietl.  If  I  may  be  par- 
ttoned  for  saying  it»  liis  life  seems  to  liave 
**en   a   sotuewhat    chequered    one.     It    is 


startling  to  find  one  of  hts  books  "printed  in 
Holy-Rood  House''  in  1775.  At  that  date 
Holy-Rood  was  a  Banntuar>*  for  debtors, 
and  it  may  be  inferred  that  James  Fea. 
liaving  taken  up  hin  abode  tliere,  had  become 
temporarily  msolvent.  His  other  Edin- 
bm-gli  publication,  however,  as  well  as  the 
book  **  printed  for  the  author  at  Dover,'* 
would  lead  to  the  conclusion  that  lie  soon 
surmounted  his  pecimiary  embarrassments. 
He  was  perhaps  on  his  way  to  the  Continent 
when  the  Dover  book  was  issued,  and  he  may 
have  died  abroad.  VV.  S.  S. 

*'  Est.  Est,  Est  '  (11  S.  ii.  345).— It  may 
be  mentioned  that  Hare  in  "  Cities  of  Central 
Italy,*  vol.  ii.  p.  198,  also  associates  tlie 
inscription  with  Bishop  Johann  Fugger, 
and  quotes  it  as  follows  : — 

Fftt,  Kflt,  Eat, 

i*ropt«r  tiirnium  e«t,

This  is  said  to  have  been  the  composition  of 
the  bisliop's  valet.  Hare  tells  that  tlie 
bishop  desired  in  dying 

"  that  Ii  barrel  of  uine  might  beannuiiUy  ujiset  ujxjn

the  public  got  good  and  cheap  Uterature

My  faithful  followers,  lo  t  the  tide  is  sr>ent. 
From  tliis  point  tJie  two  versions  are  word 
for  word   the  same,  except   tliat   "I*ort»" 
and  '*were"  (1    5).  "  its '^  (I,  6),  "entirif"

these   sonnets   escaped    my    notice   until  it 
was  too  late  to  begin  removing  Uie  super- 
fluous   qiiotations    from    the    proofs  of  th* 
*  Concordance  to  Wordsworth. 

The  edition  of  Wordsworth  with  An 
Introduction  by  Viscount  Morley  liaa  been 
referred  to  by  another  correspondent  as  if 
it  were  authoritative  in  the  dating  of  WonU* 
worth's  pooms.  Tlie  shortcomingn  of  thi» 
volimtio  were  discussed  in  The  ActnUmy  for 
12  January,  1889,  and  26  August,  1893. 
In  general  it  is  so  faulty  in  the  matter  of 
dates,  both  of  composition  and  tlrst  pab- 
h'cation,  tliat  I  may  bo  excused  for  wy 
failure  to  consult  it  in  the  particular  instamv

>WEB  Pamtly  Of  WOECESTRnainBE  (US. 
tg ),  — I  have  Been  various  MSS .  by 
of  the  Gower  family  of  the  pewt 
^ch  reference  is  made  to  the  eocond- 
diip  of  Abel  Gower  of  Boughton 
»hn  (who  died  1669)  to  Lord  Gou-er  of 
:ham,  but  in  none  is  there  made  any 
statement  than  tliLs  vapue  one. 
matter  of  fact,  the  writers  alluded  to 
ktionship  by  raarriape.  There  was  no 
Gower  when  Abel  diod,  the  barony  not 
been  conferred  until  33  years  later. 


But  the  first  Lord  Qower*B  father  Sir  WilUam 
F-eveson-Gower,  4th  Baronet,  was  related 
by  marriage  to  Abel  Gowor  of  Boughton 
St.  John,  a  daughter  of  tlie  one  family 
having  been  given  in  marriage  to  a  son  of  the 
other  family. 

The  only  other  relation.ship  of  the  two 
fanuhoR  is  a  possible,  even  probable,  common 
origin  in  tlio  days  of  tho  Plautagonets,  when 
the  original  stock  drifted  from  the  north  of 
Yorksliire  into  Warwickshire,  Staftordtsliire, 
and  Worcestershire.  The  tradition  of  the 
intermarriage  I  speak  of  is  a  woll-eBtablished 
one  in  the  family,  and  is  frequently  alluded 
to  in  old  MSS.  Nichols  evidently  referred 
to  it  in  hia  *  County  Families  of  Wales,*  thuB 
giving  rise  to  the  notion  that  a  closer  relation- 
ship existed.  Mabtelxo. 

*  Abden  of  Feversham  • :  "  Gale  "  (11  S. 
ii.  226,  337).— Tho  meaning  of  *' galo  "  in 
nautical  usage  in  Elizabethan  times  seems 
to  have  depended  upon  tJio  adjective  used 
with  it.  John  Smith  in  his  '  Accidence  for 
Young  Sea-men  '  thus  classifies  the  winds  : 

'*  A  calme,  a  brese,  a  fresh  g&ilc,  a  pleasant  gaile. 
It  nvcrblowes,  A  snBt.  a  storme,  a  BJmut*.  a  lonme 
l^aile,  an  eddy  wind,  a  flake  of  wind,  a  Tumado,  a 
mounthe  noune,  a  Herycano." 

In  literary  usaj^e  it  is  also  usually  qualified, 
but  mostly,  I  thmk,  in  a  favourable  sense : 
ShnkofipoAro  has  **  happy  gale "  ;  Gray, 
'*  gentle  gales,  and  skiea  serene."  There  is 
a  storj'  told  uf  Or.  Guthrie  that,  ministering 
once  to  a  seafaring  congregation  on  tlie 
east  coast  of  Scotland,  he  prayed  for  "  pro- 
pitious gales."  Th©  congregation  remon- 
strated. To  them,  aa  to  most  people  now, 
'*  gale  '*  meant  "  storm "  or  something 
near   it,  0.  C.  B.

For  example,  all  the  words  ending  in  *"  -ion  "

of  apparent  alexandrines,  some  of  them

Gndft  murh  more  to  critlcixe  in  the  article  on  the

ffitlc's  fi'-marks  in    a  subsequent   nuuil>er.      We 


note  that  on  p.  5  the  well-known  property  of 
the  Duke  of  Hutlanxl  is  called  '*  Hadden  "  Instead 
of  Haddon. 

We  should  have  expected  to  hear  something  t.f 
the  celebrattHl  knighthoods  which  prevailed  in 
Kurope  during  the  Cnisades  and  up  to  Tudor 
times,  and  which  appear  in  Guillim's  '  Display  of

KuightH  tltwpitallers  of  Ht.  John  *.f  Jerusalem  jo 
Malta,  the  Knights  Templars  founded  in  1118.  or 
the  Ivnights  of  the  Lily  of  Xavnrrc  in  Spain. 
Many  of  the  most  noble  families  mentioned  in 
connexion  with  these  knighthoods  do  not  appear 
in  the  vcdunie  before  us.  Of  rourwe,  they  may 
have  nil  become  extinct,  but  ihifi  is  hardly  likely. 

The  labour  of  getting  out  this  volume  must  have 
been  very  considerable,  and  we  wish  to  give  the 
Marquis  every  credit  for  his  indiLstry:  we  shnll 
be  glad  to  see  the  next  edition,  and  hope  to  find 
more  representjitive  illustrations  nnd  the  com- 
pletion (►f  the  lists  of  France  and  one  or  two  other 
countries.  We  note  that  the  author's  own  family 
Ih  one  of  antiquity  nnd  eminence,  and  we  think 
he  might  more  suitably  have  given  an  illustration 
of  hi«  own  achievement  of  arms  thnn  of  those 
whicli   at   present  adorn   the   volume.

ALFIKKI    IN    ENGLAND; 

ORIGINAL  OF  HAWSER  TRUNNION. 

louT  three  miles  on  the  Cheshire  side  of 
'"arrington — in  a  part  of  tJie  pariah  of 
Lppietoii  called  Hull,  and  on  tho  estate  of 
Mr.  Thomas  Lyon  of  Applotoii  Hall — 
stands  a  superinr  farm-house,  by  name 
BelleHeldH,  which  has  had  two  remarkable 
inhabitautn. 

Belletields    was    built    eomewhere    about 

^^50  by  a  retired  naval  officer,  an  Admiral 

^Boare,  who  was  attracted  to  tliia  part  of  thu 

^(buntry    Vjy    Iiis    friendship    with    Sir    Piers 

Warburton,  Bt.     The  Admiral  is  said  to  be 

the    original    of    Smollett's    InimorouR    and 

immortal    picture    of    Commodore    Hawser 


Trunnion  in  '  Peregrine  Pickie.'  The  Ad- 
miral was  Ilia  own  architect,  and  took  a 
ship  for  hifl  model.  Ho  made  cabiiui  ancl 
officers'  and  warrant  officers'  rooniH.  Tho 
graaa  plot  before  tlie  house  was  his  quarter- 
deck, where  hia  flag  floated  from  a  mabthead- 
All  who  approached  him  when  Jte  was  on 
tiiia  supposed  naval  ground  were  required 
to  di>  it  with  their  hats  off,  and  every  otlier 
mark  of  duty  and  official  uaago  wiiirli  an 
admiral  has  a  right  to  expect  on  board  iiis 
own  ship.  Tiie  twenty-four  iiours  were 
divided  into  watches,  and  marked  by  bella  ; 
tlie  occiurences  of  the  day  were  recorded  in 
a  log-book  ;  and  the  irunates  of  BellefioIdH 
slept  in  hammocks.  But,  despite  liis  pro- 
fessional foibles,  no  warmer -hearted,  kinder, 
or  more  hospitable  gentleman  than  the  real 
Comniodore  Trunnion  ever  existed. 

After  tho  Admiral's  time,  and  for  a  short 
period  only.  Bellofioldfl  became  the  abod<' 
of  the  celebrated  ItaUan  poet  Count  Vittoho 
Alliori.  In  what  year,  and  forwiiat  reasons. 
did  the  impetuous  Italian  withdraw  to  tiiis 
then  remote  part  of  tho  provinces  7  Nothing 
appears  to  be  known  of  lus  life  at  the  farm 
beyond  the  fact  that  he  loved  to  frequent 
a  fir  hill  near  the  house,  and  to  walk  on  the 
terrace  round  its  base,  to  which  he  gave 
the  name,  bv  which  it  still  goes,  of  "  Alfleri's 
walk." 

It  seems  probable  that  Alfieri  retired  to 
Bellefields  in  the  autumn  of  177J,  diu-ing  lus 
Krst  visit  to  England,  and  after  the  discovery 
of  his  intrigue  with  the  l>eautiful  young 
wife  of  Kdward,  second  Viscount  Ligonier, 
rendered  it  expedient  and  desirable  for  Iiim 
to  quit  tho  metropolid  In  his  autobiography 
Altieri  states:  "I  accompanied  her  [Lady 
Ligonier]  in  a  toiu-  through  several  of  the 
cotmties  of  England."  In  1772  he  parted 
from  hia  mistresa  at  Rochester,  and  returned 
to  Turin.  Lord  Ligonier  divorced  his 
wife,  7  November,  1771,  and  she  married, 
when  Alfieri's  attentions  liad  ceiised.  a. 
Capt.  Smith.  G.  E.  C.'s  Peerage  states 
that  a  beautiful  portrait  of  this  lady  by 
Gainsborough  is  in  the  National  Portrait 
Gallery,  but  it  does  not  figure  in  the  current 
catalogue. 

Bellefields  now  looks  like  a  modern  house, 
but  its  bones  are  just  as  tiioy  were  when  it 
sheltered  the  eccentric  admiral  and  tho 
philandering  poet.  The  site  commandn 
an  extensive  \iew  of  the  Mersey  Valley, 
nearly  as  far  aa  Manchester  on  the  east,  and 
to  Rancorn  Gap  on  the  weat.

SHAKES  PEARI  ANA. 

Shakespkabe's   EpiTArH  :     "  Paok  "    (11 

8.  ii.  183). — The  Bttribution  of  the  ppitanh 
to  Baoon  may  be  riglit  on  arcount  of  the 
phrase  **  but  as  a  i)ago  to  tlie  latter  [book]  " 
occurring  in  t}ie  philosopher's  letter  to  Sir 
Tobie  Matthew.  The  epitaph  should,  liow- 
ever,  b©  regarded  in  it»  entirety,  as  the  Kng- 
lish  portion  is  preceded  by  the  well-ktiowii 
Latin  dislicli.  In  his  *  Life  of  Shakes j>eare,' 
p.  *277,  Mr,  Sidney  Lee  attribut^fl  the  com- 
position of  this  to  '*  a  l^indon  friend."  All 
thingH  considered.  T  personally  should  pn^fer 
to  regard  the  ej>itaph  ns  omunating  from 
the  pen  of  Ben  Jonsou,  wlio  would  certainly 
be  familiar  witJi  the  contents  of  the  *  Ad- 
vancement of  Learning,'  and,  being  on 
intiiant*-  terms  with  Bacon,  may  have  had 
tliat  writer's  explanation  of  the  work  from 
his  own  lips.  Furtiiermore,  the  alUisions 
to  Nestor,  Socrates,  and  Virgil,  wliich  Mr. 
Lee  considers  not  very  ajiposite,  arc  more 
likely  to  have  fallen  from  Jonson,  wl»o  in  the 
'Poetaster,*  ^Titten  in  1801,  introduces 
Shakcapeare  in  the  person  of  Virgil,  accord- 
ing to  Gifford.  some  of  the  characterization 
bewff  appropriate  and  some  inoi)proitriate 
to  tlie  Latin  poet  ;  see  tlie  note  on  the 
passage  in  Cuiuiiiigliam's  edition  of  the 
play.  Act  V.  sc.  i. 

Despite  Mr.  Lee's  allegation  that 

All  that  hoh&tb  writ 
Le&vea  living  &rt  but  jiauc  to  nerve  hih  wit 

can  "  mean  only  one  thing."  I  venture  to

Furnesa  (1004)  agrees  with  Theobald,  who 
*'  observes  tliat  tlicre  is  a  Latin  proverb 
wliich  is  *  very  nigh  to  the  svnae '  of  thi« 

Eassage  :  Qui  bene  dvrmit,  nihil  malt  cogiiot" 
LalLiwell,  however,  beheves  that  the  verh 
"to  sleep"  is  to  be  understood  after  "hann." 
The  Arden  (1906)  and  the  First  Folio  Edition 
(1903)  agree  with  Ilalliwell. 

The  correctness  of  Theobald's  interpreta- 
tion is  strengthened  by  a  pasaaRe  found  m 
John  Northbrooke's  '  Treatise  against  Dicing. 
Dancing,  Pla\*s,  and  Intrudes  *  (Shake-

Most  jXTsons,  1  presimie,  will  Hgree  witli 
Sydney  Walker  in  thinking  that  the  epitliet 
'*  cold,"  which  occtu^s  in  the  last  of  the  abov^

Either  the  copyist  inadvertently  repeated  a 
word  which  he  had  just  set  down  in  ihf 
preceding  line,  or,  owing  possibly  lo  a 
malformation  of  the  letters,  ho  mistook  a 
V  for  a  r.  and  wrote  "  cold."  vf^ere  he  sbonld 
have  written  "  void."  1  submit  that  "void" 
was  the  poet's  word :  it  contains  exactly 
the  same  number  of  letters  as  "  cold "  i 
it  is  used  by  Shakespeare  elsewherftt  it 
satisfies  the  sense,  the  scansion,  above  all.

to  the  first  chapter  of  Genesis,  where  wc  »W

"  void,"  in  contradistinction  to  the  earth,  w 
it  afterwards  ap]wared  in  all  ita  "  fullnetf." 
to  uflo  the  Psfdniist's  brief  expression.  And 
this  word  "void."  which  is  applied  to  th»

CEMETERY,    GIBRALTAR. 

This,  like  the  Trafalgar  Cemetery  (see  118. 
i.  104,  165),  is  no  longer  imed.  It  ia  situate 
to  the  south  of  the  Alameda,  and  is  divided 
by  a  footi>atli  (running  north  and  south 
fn>iu  the  entrance  tT^it^)  into  two  unequal 
T1h»  inscriptions  are  here  arranged 
rows  parallel  U*  tlie  above  path,  but  the 
r  rows  are  very  irregular.  Many  tombs 
now  without  inscriptioiL.  owing  to  the 
rishing  of  the  atone  ;  others  are  only 
rtly  legible.  Of  the  latter  it  is  possible 
t  in  some  cases  more  of  the  inscription 
might  be  made  out  by  visits  under  different 
lights.  Want  of  time  caused  some  four 
or  five  inscriptions  in  tho  north-east  comer 
to  be  omitted.  Those  wliich  follow  were 
taken  down  in  March  last.

Sir  Hknry  Wotton  on  A^ibassadors. — 
In  reference  to  Sir  Henry  Wotton's  definition 
of  an  ambassador,  *'  Legatus  est  vir  bonus 
peregre  miasus  ad  mentiendimi  Reipublicae 
causa,"  and  Ivin;;  James's  displeasure  caused 
by  the  enstiin^  attack  of  Scioppiua  on  the 
King,  the  '  D.X.B.'  (reissue,  vol.  xxi.  p.  9C8) 
states  that,  in  addition  to  writing  a  personal 
apology  to  James,  Wotton  attacked  Scioppius 
in  a  letter  dated  from  London,  1612,  inscriljrd 
to  the  iatter's  patron  Marcus  Walser  (or 
WeUer).  a  burgomaster  of  Augsburg,  and 
said  to  have  been  published  then,  although 
now  only  accessible  in  the  '  Keliquiae  Wottoii- 
ian».* 

It  may  interest  the  readers  of  '  N.  &  Q.' 
to  know  that  I  have  eon^e  across  what  appears 
to  be  a  copy  of  the  publication  in  a  vohin.e 
of  the  Spencer  tracts  in  the  John  Rylandy 
Library.  Mnnchester. 

The  copy  consists  of  four  quarto  lea\e» 

without   pagination   or   register.     The   title 

runs  as  follows  :    '  Ad  lUustrissimtim  Virum 

i  Marcvm  Vel8er\Tn  i  Uuumvirum  Augustse 

I  V^indelicite  |  Henrici  Wottonij   i   Epistola.' 

The  verso  is   blank.      The  text  of  the  letter 

follows  on  the  remaining  leaves,   and   enda 

towards  the  bottom  of  the  verso  of  leaf  4 

with   the   date  :     "  Londino.   Nonis   Deceni- 

hribtis     Julianis.     Aimo     vnici     Mediatoris 

nostri    Qlj  Ij  CXII."       There    is    neither 

imprint  nor  colophon,  but  the  tyi>e  is  similar 

to   that   in   common  use  in  London  at   the 

Ijeriod.  S.   O.  Moffet.

Sir  Waltkh  Siott  on  a  *'  Kelso  Con- 
voy." (See  1  S.  iv.  176.)— Sir  Walter  Scott 
(*  Antiquary,'  chap,  xxx.)  defines  this  as 
"  a  step  and  a  half  ower  the  doorstane  "  ; 
while  Jamieson  in  his  '  Scottish  Dictionary  ' 
says  that  the  term  is  "  explained  by  others 
OS  signifying  that  one  goes  as  far  as  the 
friend  whom  he  accom|»anied  has  to  go, 
although  to  liis  own  door." 

The  Rev.  Dr.  M'CulIoch.  however,  when 
describing  Ivelso  parish  in  the  *  New  Sta- 
tistical Account  of  Scotland'  in  1838,  calls 
Scott  to  account  for  his  statement,  and 
Ba>*s  that 

'"a  Kclao  convoy'  is  not  a  shabby  dismissal  of  a 
piefit  after  attending  him  only  to  vour  door.  The 
uld  KeUonians  did  indeed  Hniwh  the  '  convoy  by

TRAHERNK  :      CtTRlOUS    RIMK8    TO    "  JOY." 

— In  Traheme's  '  Poems  of  Felicity/  recently 
publifthed  by  the  Clarendon  Press,  1  notice 
aomo  euriourt  falfie  rimes  to  tlie  word  ''  joy." 
Occurring  as  they  do  pretty  frequently,  they 
can  scarcely  bo  duo  to  VareleBsnesis,  and 
indeed  it  is  clear  from  tlie  many  corrections 
noted  in  this  edition  that,  whatever  Tra- 
heme's failings  as  a  poot  may  have  been, 
carelessness  was  not  one  of  them. 

The  rimes  I  refer  to  are  the  following  :  in 
'The  Author  to  tlie  Critical  Peruser*  *'  enjoy  " 
is  coupled  \\'ith  "  way  "  ;  on  p.  19,  and 
again  on  p.  39,  "  joy  "*ia  made  to  rime  with 
"convey";  on  p.  81  "joy."  "  flisplay/* 
and  *'  way  "  are  used  aa  rimes  ;  on  p.  03 
*'  convey,  '  "joy,"  and  '*  way  "  ;  on  p.  i)4 
"lay"  and  "joy";  and  on  pp.  99-100 
"enjoy"  and  "convey/'  Does  this  point 
to  some  defect  of  ear  peculiar  to  Traherne, 
or  to  some  dialectal  peculiaritv  ?  I  do  not 
remember  to  have  met  witli  these  rzmea 
m  any  other  poet,  and  Traherne,  I  think, 
never  so  niisrimes  any  word  that  does 
actually  rime  with  *"joy/'  I  should  add 
that  he  frequently  rimes  "joy"  itself 
correctly.  (J.  c.  B. 

"  Bael  "  :    **  Bhel  "  :    "  Bel/'— None  of

I  must  leave  others  to  decide. 

On  seeing  the  proof.  I  begin  to  wonder 
whether  tl»e  word  is  *'  corbel-sially "  :  in 
any  case,  the  word  is  not  in  *  N.E.D.,'  w*^ 
its  meaning  is  by  no  means  clear.  Soni^

Early  GRAPrATiON :  Gilbert  Bitrnet, 
John  Balfodb. — It  has  been  usual  to  si>eak 
vf  Bishop  Gilbert  Burnet  as  holding  a  record 
in  the  inatt4?r  of  early  graduation.  The  dato 
of  his  birth  was  18  September.  1043  ;  of  hia 
M.A.  (Marischal  College  and  Vniversity, 
Aberdeen)  23  June,  1657. 

But  a  more  extreme  instance  was  John 
Balfour,  son  of  the  Rev.  George  Balfour, 
minister  of  Tnrbat,  who  joined  the  H.E.LC.S. 
(Bengal)  in  1797  nnd  died  1819.  The  dat« 
of  his  birth  was  30  September,  1775 ; 
of  his  M.A.  (University  and  Iving's  College, 
Aberdeen)  28  Marcli,  1789. 

Can  that  record  be  broken  ?

Bpecifically  asked  for,  no  information  aB  t-o  the

I  should  like  to  know,  if  posRible,  what, 
after  Hyde  Clarke's  death,  became  of  the 
results  of  liis  researchoH  into  the  Milton 
family.  The  Richard  Shelley  of  the  deed 
(the  non-signatory  i>arty)  is,  curiously 
enough,  a  lineal  ancestor  of  tlie  poet  Shelley.

Royal  Abms  in  C^hurches. — Having  just 
discovered  and  brought  to  light  in  the  old 
parish    church    of    Llandebie,    C-armarthen- 
fihire,  A  fine   casting  of  the  royal   coat  of  j 
arms    (King   George   TTL),    1814-20,   whichJ 
has,  for  many  years,  been  completely  lo.-*!^

under  what  conditions,  any  edict  or  eccle-  I

inflisting  upon,  or  j)ermitting.  the  aetting-upy^ 
the  royal  coat  of  arinh  in  the  parish  churches 
of  Great  Britain,  and  particularly  of  Walt*. 
In  many  churches  these  royal  coats  of  am* 
are  to  be  seen  to  this  day.     In  the  Ewl) 
Victorian  period   they  seem   to   have  bwn 
almost     imiversol,     and     moreover     mwirly 
always  associated  with  the  Kctting-up  of  the 
tables  of  the  Lord's  Prayer  and  of  the  Ten 
Commandments,  in  close   proximity  to  tlip 
Communion    table.     At    the    prc^sent    tin«*

in  many  churches  put  in  some  out-of-tbe-

Royal  Arms  in  Churches. — At  a  nwvX 
visit  to  Norton  Church,  near  Evesham,  I 
observed  the  royal  arms  hanging  ovw  iV 
tower  arch,  on  the  west  wall,  and  besriiur 
the  letters  **  G.  R.  III."  The  query,  Wb«i 
is  tho  origin  of  tliis  common  practice  * 
was  asked  so  long  ago  as  1852  in  *  N.  &  0' 
(1  S.  v.  659).  and  I  am  disposed,  in  tb» 
liglit  of  the  above  fact,  to  repeat  it.  Thf 
replies  to  the  original  qut^stion  were  vsricd 
in  character  :  some  instancing  cases  (ta  lA 
Bristol  Cathedral.  East  Window,  EdwardEt 
Milverton,  Somerset,  Henr>'  VIII.,  4t) 
where  tlie  royal  arms  are  in  glass,  otlww  ■» 
"carved  '*  (presumably  in  stone),  othnrs  * 
"  painted  '*  (on  wood,  as  in  Norton  Churcli). 
These  touch  rather  their  materials  than  tl»if

SHAKESPEARE'S    BIBLE. 

(lis.  u.  305.) 

"  The  work  of  Holy  Writ,  onoe  the  pro- 
perty of  Sliakesj^eare."  lately  on  view  in  the 
upper  gallery  of  the  Shakespeare  Memorial 
Kxliibition  in  the  Whitechapol  Art  Gallery, 
is  the  same  edition  €»i  *'  The  Newe  Testa- 
ment of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  translated 
out  of  Greeke  by  Theo.  Beza,  and  Englished 
by  L.  T[orn8on].  Whereunto  in  adjoynud  a 
Concordance,"  ff.  403  (London,  C.  Barker, 
1580).  It  is  a  reprint  of  the  edition  of  157C. 
with  the  addition  of  the  Concordance  or 
Table.  The  latter  is  the  first  edition  of 
Tomson's  revision  of  the  Genevan  version. 
Bishop  Wordsworth  in  his  '  Shakespeare's 
Knowledge  and  Use  of  the  Bible  *  suggests 
that  as  Parker's,  called  also  tho  Bishops' 
Bible  of  1568,  and  various  reprints  of  tho 
Genevan  Bible  of  1500  Avilli  short  marginal 
notes,  were  much  used  in  private  families. 
the  poet  had  one  of  these  in  liis  possewiiion. 

But  at  Sotheby's  there  was  sold  in  1904 
"  Shakespeare's  own  Bible."  with  liis  name 
^vritten  by  his  own  hand,  though  T  am  not 
able  in  say  now  that  the  experts  at  the  time 
agreed  aa  to  the  genuineness  of  the  signature. 
The  Daily  TeUgraph  on  11  October,  1904, 
gave  the  following  interesting  account  of  tho 
Bible  used  by  the  poet  :-~ 

"It  i.e  eertaiii  that  this  Bible ia  not  that  from

In  "  Tho  Byzantine  and  Komanesque  Court 
in  the  Crystal  Palace,  described  by  M.  Digby 
Wyatt  and  J.  B.  Waring,  1864,"  a  prefatory 
notice  names  several  of  the  artists  responsible 
for  the  Court  and  its  contents,  but  it  gives  no 
information  as  to  the  Fonte\-rault  cast  or 
models.  The  similar  notice  to  the  Medijpval 
Court  ujentions,  however,  that  "  the  greater 
number  of  the  French  casts  have  been 
executed  by  M.  ]Malzieux.  of  Paris." 

Tho  fact  that  tho  authors  of  tho  hand- 
book only  quote  that  the  originals  were  at 
that  time  *'  preserved  in  the  Conventual 
Church,  and  protected  from  further  injury 
by  an  iron  railing,"  on  the  autliority  of 
articles  in  the  fifth  volume  (1846)  of  Didron*B 
*  Aruiales  Arch6olopiques,'  seems  to  nmke 
it  less  Ukely  that  the  matrices  for  tlie  casta 
were  made  for  the  Crystal  Palace  authorities 
on  the  spot. 

On  the  other  hand,  tho  Didron  *  Annalea  * 
]irove  that  tho  originals  had  been  a  few  years 
i^ofore,  in  1846,  in  the  *'  ateUers "  of  the 
Louvre,  where  they  underwent  wliat  is 
described  as  "  une  restauration  fatale," 
including  a  repainting.

Capt.  Crosstbke  :  Tom  Bowuno  (US. 
ii.  387). — Capt.  Crosstree  was  a  cltaracter 
in  a  "nautical  and  domestic  nielo-draraa" 
entitled  *  Black-Eyed  Susan  ;  or.  All  in  the 
Downs,'  founded  on  Gay's  ballad,  and  pro- 
duced at  the  Surrey  Tlieatre  under  the 
direction  of  EUistou  in  1829.  The  precise 
date  was  probably  8  June,  as  the  eleventh 
performance  (of  wliich  1  have  a  bill)  waa  on 
Friday,  1 9  J  une.  Capt.  Crosstree  waa 
played  by  Forester — the  hero,  William, 
being  rendered  by  T.  P.  Cooke,  wlio  sung  a 
song,  and  danced  a  double  hornpipe  with 
Miss  Bamett.  The  piece  was  *'  by  the 
author      of      '  Bampfylde      Moore     Carew,' 

*  Ambrose  Gwinett,    *  Law  and   Lions,'  and 

*  John  Avery.'  "  The  overture  and  music 
were  "  Selected  from  Dibdin's  songs  by  Mr. 
[Jonathan]  Blewitt."'  There  is  a  note  on  the 
bill  which  indicatea  that  a  rival  houso  had 
"  committed  a  contemptible  and  unprincipled 
infringement  ou  Private  l*roperty "  by 
producing  a  piece  under  the  same  title.  The 
Surrey  play  was  very  successful,  and  it  con- 
tinued pojuilar  for  many  years  tliroughout 
the  countrj'. 

A  burlesque,  by  [Sir]  P.  C.  Bumand, 
entitled  *  The  Latest  Edition  of  Black- 
Eyed  Susan  ;  or.  The  Little  Bill  that  was 
Taken  Vp,*  was  produced  by  Miss  M,  Oliver 
at  the  New  Royalty  Theatre,  Dean  Street. 
I  attended  a  performance  of  this  in  1867,  in 
the  thirty-fiTBt  week  of  the  burlesque.  The 
part  of  Capt.  Crosstree  was  taken  by  F. 
Dewar,  wIjo  with  Dame  Hatley  (Danvers). 
WilUam  (Miss  Anme  CollinBonV  and  Svuuktv 


(Miss   Oliver)    provided   a    most    deligbtfal 
q\iartet  of  genuinely  comic  acting. 

The  name  Tom   Bowling   was  first   used. 
I  think  by  Smollett,  in  '  Roderick  Random  ' 
(1748).     There  waa  a  character  Tom   Bow- 
ling, played  by  Bannister,  in  '  The  Trip  to 
Portaraouth,'    prcniuced   at    the   Hayniarket 
Theatre.   II  August,  1773.     Charles  Dibdin. 
who  composed  the  music  for  it,  describes  ii 
as  '*  a  poor  rickety  thing,  in  whicJi  then 
were   some   decently    written,   songs."     The 
I  author  was  O.  A.  Stevens,  whose  sea  songs, 
introduced  in  the  piece,  were  the  first  t)»i 
had   the   true   nautical   ring,   aftcirwards  so 
notable    in     Dibdin's    lyrics.     His     famon* 
song  *  Poor  Tom  ;   or,  The  Sailor's  Epitaph.' 
was  first  performed  and  published  bv  hiui 
in  the  early  spring  of  1790,  as  an  a<fdttioD

Harting    (the    otlier    daughter,    Katherine. 
was  the  wife  of  Sir  Re^iiald  Bra^).     Their 
family  consisted  of  one  son.  Richard  Lovell, 
who    d.s.p.^    and    two    daughters :      Agnes, 
married    to    John    Kmpson    (probably    the

Bray),  from  whom  she  was  divorced  ;    and 
uecondly  to  Sir  Anthony  Windsor,  a  brother- 
in-law  of  Edmund  Dudley. 

In  1553  the  manor  of  Midhurflt  belonged 
to  Sir  Anthony  Browne  (created  Viucount 
Montague  in  1554).  who  resided  there,  at 
Cowdray  Park.  His  maternal  grandfather, 
Sir  John  Gage,  K.O.  (d.  1556),  owned  large 
estates  in  Norfolk,  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  Barton  Bendish ;  and  Sir  Anthony'^

Suwj^wx,  came  of  a  Norfolk  family,  long 
bettled  at  Attluborough  in  that  county, 
quite  near  to  Harling.  Tliis  jierhaps  may

to  repreaent  Midluirat  in  Parliament.

I  liad  hoped  that,  from  the  sympt^^ms  recorded, 

{  a  medical  opinion  might  have  be^^n  elicited. 

I  as  has  been  done  in  the  case  of  other  eniineDt 

wrilfrs,  notably  of  Hume.     He,  it  may  be 

remembered,    sufTered    from    a    mysteciooA

it    a   Greek  name.     Modem   medical  koow- 

lodgo  has,  however,  diagnosed  it  as  cancer. 

In  Jane  Austen's  case,  although  t&> 
disease  appears  to  have  been  a  foni  ^ 
decline,  no  allusion  whatever  was  modv  to 
its  being  consumption  either  by  lierbeU  or 
those  about  her.  Had  it  been  so.  it  would 
surely  have  been  recognized  and  «  d*"

The  industry  of  the  compiler,  who  has  brought 
to^tber  2,fi36  characters,  including  37  horses  and 
33  dogs,  is  worthy  of  all  praise.  Hut  we  rv^ret  t** 
add  that  the  uaefulness  of  the  work  is  *eriously 
reduced  bjr  the  absence  of  referenuw  to  the  cha|>- 
tere  in  which  the  characters  occur.  The  luajurity 
of  readers  or  searchers  surely  want  some*  exact- 
ness iu  this  sort  of  detail.  Fur  iniftance,  to  tell  uk 
that  the  Karl  of  Both  well  occurs  in  *  The  Abbot,' 
olid  give  nu  hint  of  the  part  of  the  book  In  whteU 
he  figures,  is  rather  a  futile  prooeeding.  If  the 
addition  of  such  help  would  mean  an  BncyclopaNlin.

THE    REV.    RICHARD  CHAPMAN: 
•LE  FEU  DE  JOYE.* 


lb 

■      TJ 

VsoME  months  ago  P.  C.  G.  of  Calcutta  ask^d 
(11  S.  i.  169)  for  information  as  to  the  source 

I  and  authorship  of  tlie  doggerel  inserted  by 
llacaulay  in  nis  essay  on  Addison.  The 
lines  riui : — 

^ k  of  two  thousand  gentloin<?n  at  least. 

And  each  imiu  nmuiited  on  hU  capering  bea.tt ; 
Into  the   r>anuhe  thoy  ^ter*-  puBhwi  by  shcinls. 

The  passage  is  quoted  by  Maoaulay  as  an 
instance  of  the  deplorable  badness  of  the 
Wljie  poems  wluch  had  been  written  on 
Marlborough^s  x-iotory  at  Blenheim.  Com- 
positions like  these  forced  liis  colleague 
Sidney  Godolphin  to  seek  for  a  poet  more 
worthy  of  the  occasion.  Henrj-  Boylo  was 
therefore  instructed  to  moimt  *'  three  pair 
of  stairs**  to  Addison's  garret  over  a  shop 


^ 


h. 


in  the  Haymarket.  The  result  was  the 
garreteer's  poem  of  *  The  Campaign  '  and 
his  rise  inte  fortiuie  and  fame. 

Six  editions  of  Macaulay's  essay  with 
illustrative  notes  have  l>een  published.  I 
looked  at  them  to  see  tlie  marmer  in  which 
these  lines  were  treated.  Five  of  these 
eommentators — C.  Sheldon  (1894),  Arthur 
Burrell  (1901),  C.  F.  McClumpha  (1904), 
C.  W.  French  (1907),  and  C.  E.  Hadow 
(1907) — pass  them  over  in  silence.  Mr. 
R.  F.  Winch,  in  liis  edition  of  1898.  candidly 
says:— 

"  I  have  not  succcod(?d  in  tracing  the  nani«>  of 
this  ali*<urd  p<iOin  nr  of  its  author  :  if  iiny  of  my 
reailfrs  Hhnittd  he  more  HUccc>ssrul  1  Iifpo  that 
he  ur  ehe  witi  kindly  lot  lue  know  ;  ptrbapa  it 
was  na  anonymous  ballad." 

The  same  note  npppars  in  suhstance  in  his 
subsequent  edition  (1905)  of  the  essay. 
Mr.  F.  C.  Montague  in  his  volumes  of  Macau- 
lay's  *  Critical  and  Historical  Essays  '  pens 
the  note  :  **  I  have  not  been  able  to  trace 
the  poem  from  which  these  lines  are  taken.'* 

Macaulay  knew  the  lines  from  their 
inclusion  in  a  letter  dated  ITMay.  1793,  from 
William  Cowper,  the  poet,  to  Thomas  Park, 
the  poetical  antiquary.  It  is  printed  in 
Soutney's  edition  of  Cowper's  works,  vii. 
330-32,  where  Macaulay  would  light  uj>on 
i t ,  and  in  Wr  igh  t'  s  ed  it  ion  of  Cowper' s 
letters,  iv.  404  ;  but  in  neither  instance 
is  the  quotAtion  traced.  The  letter  is  very 
interesting.  The  jioet  was  engaged  ui>on  his 
translation  of  Homer,  and  Park,  a  not  in- 
frequent correspondent  of  his,  suggested  to 
him  that  he  should  avail  liimself  of  the 
version  of  his  predecessor  George  Cliapman. 
Cowper's  answer  gives  the  clue  to  the  author- 
sliip  of  these  burlesque  lines.     He  says : — 

'*  I  have  never  seen  Chapman's  translation  of 
Homer,  and  will  not  n-fuHc  your  offer  of  it, 
unless,  by  accepting  it,  I  ahnll  deprive  you  of  a 
rurioaity  that  yon  cannot  easily  replace.  The 
line  or  two  which  you  quote  from  him,  except  thnt 
the  expresaion  u  tceU-irrittcn  sovl  htxn  the  quaiiit- 
ncss  of  his  times  in  it,  do  him  cre<1it.  lie  cannot 
surely  be  the  8umo  Chapman  who  wrote  a  poem« 
I  think  on  tJie  battle  of  Hochfltadt,  in  which, 
when  I  waa  a  very  yoang  man,  I  remember  to 
have  seen  the  following  lines  : — 

Think  of  two  th(>u.<uind  gentlemen  at  least. 
And  e.ich  man  mounted  on  liis  capering  beaat ; 
Into  the  Dnnube  tiiey  were  push  d  by  shoal«. 
And  sunk  and  bobb'd,  and  bobb'd  and  sunk,  and 
sunk  and  bobb'd  their  b«)u1h. 

These  are  lines  tliat  could  not  fail  to  impress  the 
memory,  thouuh  not  altogether  in  the  Homerican 
style  of  battle.^' 

The  letter  first  appeared  in  print  in  TA« 
Monthly    Mirror,    xvi.  297-8  (1803).     That

Chapman*a  acknowledged  rimes. 

Chapman's  father  was  Hnger  Chapnuui, 
the  pushing  and  opulent  attorney  of  Newport 
Pagnell.  With  his  accumulationa  of  wealth 
he  purcliased  the  adjoining  manors  of 
Shenngton  and  Caldecot,  which  on  liis  death 
passed  to  his  eldest  son  Thomas.  The  estate 
of  Great  Linford  also  became  his  property, 
and  this  wont  to  hia  daughter  Mrs.  Tayw. 
Roger  died  on  16  February,  and  was  buried 
on  17  February,  1702/3  ;  "and  by  the  kind- 
ness of  the  Rev.  Frederick  B.  Gummore,  the 
present  Vicar  of  Newix)rt  Pagnell.  I  am 
enabled  to  print  the  following  transcript  of 
a  tablet  in  the  south  aisle  of  the  church  : — 

'*  Here  ly  intt'rr'd  ye  svveraU  body*  of  Bt^r

RofTor  dyed  y*  15  of  Feb.  17l»2  [1702  3|." 

The  name  of  Roger  Chapman  often  appears 
in  the  history  of  Newport  Pagnell  in  con- 
nexion with  its  old  charities.  It  was  his 
ambition  to  found  a  family.  His  eldest  son, 
Thomas,  matriculated  from  Christ  Church, 
Oxford,  on  5  December,  1679,  when  aged  10, 
and  became  a  barrister-at-law  of  tlie  Innsr 
Temple  in  1687.  On  17  July,  1682,  he 
ohiamed  a  licence  to  marry  Kli^abeth  Good* 
man  of  St.  Andrew's,  Holbom,  spinstv* 
He  sat  in  Pnrlianieiit  for  the  borough  of 
Buckingham  from  1710  to  1714  15;  Mid 
represented  Amoreham  from  27  October, 
1722.  to  17  July,  1727.  His  death  is  Mlrf 
to  have  been  in  1735. 

The  yoimger  son  Richard  had  to  m«te 
his  way  in  tlie  world.  So  he  matriculato^ 
from  Wadham  College,  Oxford,  on  1  Deceffi" 
ber.  1080,  a^  the  son  of  Roger  Chapmsa. 
pleb.,  aged  15.  being  baptized  at  Newport 
Pagnell  on  7  March,  1064  5.  But  he  soon 
migrated  to  Christ  Chturh,  where  he  ob- 
tained a  studentaliip.  and  graduated  BA. 
1084,  M.A.  1687.  In  1684  he  was  incoT' 
porated  at  Cambridge. 

On  the  nomination  of  James  Cecil,  tlij 
fourth  Earl  of  Salisbury,  he  was  inHtitnWo 
on  19  August,  1689,  to  the  x-icaragv  c' 
Cheshunt  in  Hertfordshire,  and  lie  held  th*^ 
living  for  the  rest  of  his  days.  Bishop 
Willis  is  said  to  have  been  his  cur  riiP 

time.     In  1709  he  was  made  1'  '^ 

Ferring  in  the  Cathedral  Chur(  i 
ter,  and  that  prt'fernienl  also  i 


many  of  the  wits  of  the  day.  Park  Bcems 
to  have  been  his  right-hand  nmn  in  acquiring  i 
booka  and  in  directing  the  magazine.  He 
appends  to  the  letter  a  foot-note  that  a  copy 
of  Chapman's  poem  was  in  Hill's  Ubrary, 
and  gives  the  title-page  as  follows : — 

••  IjH  [tic]  feU  de  joye ;  ovt  u  brief  descript-ion  of  two 
most  glorioUB  victories  obtained  by  her  Majesty's 
forCM  Bud  those  of  her  allies  over  the  Fremch  and 
BaTAri»n"«  in  .lulv  and  August,  1704,  at  Schellen- 
burgh  and  BUinhfini  near  IJock^ted  ;  under  thn 
magnanimnus  nnd  berttick  conduct  of  hifl  Gmmt 
theUukcnf  MarlliorouKh.  A  poem.  By  a  Britisli 
Mut(«'      L*»ndon.  1705."     -Ite. 

The  linea  given  by  Cowper  are  tlien 
corrected  into  the  proper  readmg  : — 

Suppose  four  thousand  gentlemen  at  least. 
And  each  man  luountod  on  his  cap'ring  beAAt. 
Should  at  an  instant  in  a  bixly  hjII 
And  plunge  into  the  deep  tlietr  violent  soul. 

•  •  •  • 

Whole  shoaU  together  nink  and  scream  in  shoals, 
And  bob  and  itluk  and  bob  and  pink  their  »oula. 
IVu'k  gives  another  ludicrous  passage ; — 
One  body  ilying  to  the  woods  for  fear. 
Thirty  battalions  were  imprison'd  there ; 
As  many  aqundrona  to  the  Danube  pusht, 
Dy'd  ita  black  streams  \vith  blood,  and  so  were 
hu^ht. 

Where  can  a  copy  of  this  production  be 
Been  now  7  During  the  last  six  montlia 
I  have  made  many  inqxiiries  about  it,  but 
without  success.  It  is  not  to  be  found  in 
tlie  libraries  of  the  British  Museum.  Bodley» 
Cambridge  tTniversity,  Trinity  CoUoge,  Cam- 
bridge, Christ  Church,  Oxford,  Sion  College, 
Lambeth  Palace,  Chichester  Cathedral,  West- 
minster Chapter,  or  in  the  Royal  Library  at 
Windsor.  Mr.  C.  R.  Riviugton,  the  clerk 
of  the  Stationers'  Company,  informs  me 
that  it  is  not  entered  in  its  Register. 

"  The  1/icensing  Act  expiretl  at  the  end  of  thf 
previous  century,  and  the  Copyright  Act  of  Queen 
Anne  did  not  come  int/i  force  until  1710,  and 
in  the  interval  few  books  Wfpe  registejed." 

Will  other  librarians  with  old  oollectionB 
of  books  in  tlieir  charge  kindly  search  for  it  7 
The  ne.xt  (jupstion  that  arises  in  the  mind 
is,  Wio  -was  the  Chapman  that  composed 
this  vhimsical  piece  7  I  have  no  doubt  that 
it  was  the  work  of  the  Rev.  Ricluurd  Chap 


man.  Vicar  of  Cheshunt.  Like  Cowi>er  s 
father,  he  was  a  Whig  clergj'man,  beneficed  in 
Hertfordshire.  Ho  must  have  sent  to  the 
rectory  of  Great  Berkhampstead  a  copy  of 
hifl  poetical  masterpierp,  and  the  rector's 
son  must  often  have  seen  it  on  the  shelves 
of  his  father's  library  and  have  ascertained 


the  name  of  the  autnor.     Cowpet  vom\A  tvc»\.  d<eaiK.     According    to    the    pansii    v-^t

SIR  RICHARD  BROWNE,  BT., 
LORD  MAYOR  1060-61. 
This  personal^,  the  well-known  Prenby- 
terian  general,  was  a  Woodmongor  when 
elected  Alderman  of  London  (June.  1648), 
and  Merchant  Taylor  when  elected  (October, 
1 660 )  Lord  Mayor.  He  must  therefore 
have  boon  admitted  to  the  latter  Company 
between  these  dates,  and  it  is  virtually 
beyond  question  that  he  was  Uie  '*  Richard 
Browne,  son  of  Richard  Browne,  lat« 
Merchant  Tailor,  deceased,  admitlod  into 
the  freedom  of  tliis  Company  by  patrimony  ** 
on  10  December,  1650  (Merchant  Taylors' 
Company  Presentment  Book  Ifi.'tti^J). 

TJio  only  other  Richard  Brownea  ad- 
mitted to  the  freedom  of  the  Company 
between  1645  and  1660  were  (1)  "son  of 
Thomas  Browne  of  Sudbury,  co  Oloucester,**^ 
and  (2)  "son  of  Robort  *  Browne,  late  of 
Ripon,  yeoman." 

G.  E.  C.  in  his  *  Complete  Baronetage  * 
(vol.  iii.  p.  92)  says  that  the  Lord  Mayor 
waa  the  '  son  of  John  Browne,  otherwise 
Moses,  of  Wokingham,  Berks,  and  of  London^ 
by  Anno,  daughter  of  John  Board  of  Woking- 
ham.*' In  giving  this  parentage  he  follows 
the  editor  of  The  Genealogist,  vol.  iii.  p.  377, 
who  quotes  Stow  (ed.  Strypo.  Book  V.  p.  146). 
Tho  'Visitations  of  London,  1633,  1634, 
1635  '  (Harleian  Soc),  vol.  i.  p.  115»  gives  the 
genealogy  thus  : —

I  cannot  tliink  that  the  Merchant  Taylors* 
records  are  wrong  in  naming  Browne's 
father  Richard.  Is  it  possible  that  it  was  the 
Lord  Mayor's  father  who  was  the  son  of 
Aime  Beard,  and  husband  of  Bridget  Brian  t 
He  nuiy  have  been  a  Woodmonger  in  1634 
(as  liis  son  was  in  1648),  and  have  died  (as 
indeed  is  probable)  between  1634  and  1656,

PUTTENHAM'S    'ARTE    OF    ENGLISH 

POESIE  '  AND  GEORGE  GASCOIGNE. 

{Cimduded  from  p.  364.) 

*•  EuoTEMA,  OR  THE  QuESTioNKK,"  is  a  kind 
of  figurative  speecli,  when  we  &»k  a  question 
and  look  for  no  answer  ;  and  the  definition 
reminds  on©  of  a  story  told  by  Bacon  in 
his  *  Apophthegms,'  alUiough  in  this  case 
the  questioner  meant  to  answer  himself, 
and  not  to  leave  his  question  to  shift  for 
itself : — 

"  Mr.  Hoaland,  in  conference  with  a  youoK 
student,  arguiDg  a  case,  happuiied  l<.i  say,  *  1 
would  ask  you  but  this  questiuri.*  The  student 
presently  interrupted  him  to  jjivc  hint  an  answer. 
Whereunto  Mr.  Houland  gravply  n&id  ;  *  Ntiy, 
though  I  oak  you  a  qucation,  yet  I  did  not  ineaa 
you  should  aimwer  lue*  I  mean  to  answer  my- 
sejf.*  ■' 

Two     lines     from     Gascoigne     illustrate 
Erotenta,   and    Pnttenham   introduces   tliem 
(Arber,     p.    220)    with     the     remark,     "  as 
another  wrote  very  commendably  '*  : — 
Why  strive  I  with  the  streame,  or  hoppe  against 

the  hill. 
Or  search  that  never  con  be  found,  or  loose  my 

lalKiur  still  ?  '  Weedes,'  p.  370. 

In  the  next  page  (221)  six  lines,  slightly 
altered  from  tno  '  Weedes,'  show  us  an 
example  of  "  Kcphonimn,  or  the  Outcry/' 
and  in  this  ease  the  poet  is  named  as  well  as 
commended ; — 

"  Or  ns  Oascoigne  wrote  very  possionatly  and 
well  to  purpose. 

Ay  me  the  dayes  that  I  in  dole  consume, 
Alas  the  nights  wliich  witnesse  well  mine  woe  : 
O  wronKfull  world  which  ninkeBt  my  fanclc  fume, 
Fie  flrklL-  fortune,  fir.  fio  Ihnii  urt  liiy  foe  : 
Out  and  alas  w»t  frttword  ia  my  chance. 
No  nights  nor  daies, nor  worlde^  cah  me  nvance.*' 

P.  3fl7. 

Two  passages  from  '  Dan  Bartholomew  of 
Bathe  *  come  under  "  Sinathriffmutf,  or  the 
Heaping  figure,"  pp.  243-4,  which  is  known 
amongst  our  \'u]gar  as  **  piling  on  the 
agony,'*  a  kind  of  speech  wluch  gains  force 
and  vehemence  as  it  goes  along,  and  throws 
Ossa  upon  Pelion.  In  these  oases  Gascoigne 
ia  held  up  rs  a  pattern  for  imitation  :^ 

To  niui>e  In  uiinde  h<»w  (aire,  how  wise,  how  tcood. 
How  brave,  how  free,  h'-w  curtfuus  nnJ  how  true. 
My  Lady  i*  di^ith  but  inilume  my  blood. 

Or  thus, 

I  deeme,  I  dreamu,  I  do,  I  tost,  I  touch, 
NolhiDK  at  all  but  EmcUs  of  perflt  bliaec. 

Vp.  103-4. 

Although  Ben  Jonson  |>osseased  a  copy  of 

Puttenham's  book,  he  does  not  seem  to  have 

proofed     by     the     autlior's     advice     under 

BisUron  proierofif  or  the  Pte^oat^tous," 


a  form  of  speech  which  put*  the  cart  before 
tlio  horso.     And  Chapman,   too,   is  a  great 
offeoider  in  this  respect,  hut  designedly  so, 
for  he  makes  a  point  of  bringing  in  liis  fools 
with  speedies  tnat  slwaN-a  Icavo  the  horse 
behind  the  cart.     And  I  have  no  doubt  be 
was  thinkiaig  of  Puttenham  when  he  caused 
Strozza  in  *  The    Gentleman  Usher/  Act  I. 
so.   i.,   to  nickname   Pogio   "  Hysteron  Pro- 
teron."     But    for    the    particular    form    id 
which   Jonson    offends,   and   which    will  be 
easily  recognized  in   the   lino  I  sliaU   quote 
from    l*uttenliam,    the    latter    has    nothing 
but  censure.     Misplacing,  he  says,  is  alwAy« 
intolerable,  and  it   may  be  done  either  by 
a   single  word   or  by  a  clause    of    speech'; 
by  a  single  word  thus : — 
And  if  I  not  perforiae.  God  let  me  never  thrire. 

ArbeA  p.  2«2. 
*'  Not  performe  '*  should  be  '*  performe  not/' 
Puttenham  is  so  free  with  his  ulteratioru 
that  it  is  sometimeB  difficult  to  recogniw 
whom  he  ia  quoting  ;  and  therefore  it  ii 
possible  that  he  may  havo  been  quoting  the 
following  from  memory  : — 
Which  if  I  not  perfourme,  my  life  then  let  me  Imm* 
•  The  Adventures  of  Master  F.  J..'  p.  114. 
That  the  critic  would  not  hesitate  to 
make  such  a  radical  alteration  in  a  writer'* 
verse  is  proved  by  his  next  quotation  from 
Gascoijnie,  which  is  dealt  with  quite  A* 
freely,  in  Arber,  p.  108,  where  Puttenham 
cites  the  following  as  a  good  example  o( 
mixed  **  AUe^/wia,  or  the  Figure  of  falae 
aemblant  "  : — 

The  cloudes  of  care  huw  eouretl  all  my  cfwte. 
The  stormei  of  strife,  do  threJiten  t*.!  appears  ; 
The  waves  of  woe.  wherein  my  ship  in  to«tc.

fhippes  of  ill  chance,  are  fallen  amidst  my  ch^Vi

Gascoigno  reads  thus: —

And  eU>pme«  of  strife  doo  threaten 'to  Appi^arc:

Charlks  Verjial  of  Seaford,  medical 
practitioner  and  minor  poet,  was  inquired 
after  at  2  S.  ii.  109  and  3  S.  iv.  289,  but 
without  aucopsa.  He  was  author,  as  stated 
at  the  second  reference,  of  '  The  Pleasures  of 
Possessiou,'  a  poem,  published  1810,  and 
of  *  Servius  Tullius  *  and  *  Saladin.'  plays, 
both  of  wliich  were  performed  in  public, 
at  Coveut  Garden  and  Drury  Lane  re- 
spectively, and  printed  in  a"  volume  of 
•  Poems.'  He  contributed  to  the  local 
newspapers,  and  wTote  an  article  on  '  Sea- 
ford  88  Anderida '  for  HorsGeld's  '  History 
of  Sussex.'  He  was  a  friend  of  Clio  Kick- 
man  (both  being  natives  of  the  same  parish, 
the  ClitTc.  Irfiwes).  and  the  latter  pub- 
lished his  two  volumes,  he.sides  having  sug- 
gested, we  are  told,  hiH  chief  poem.  Verral 
is  said,  also,  to  have  invented  the  "prone 
couch."  and  to  have  been  instrumental  in 
founding  one  of  the  Orthopcedic  Hospitals. 
He  is  the  subject  of  a  laudatory  article,  '  The 
Sussex  Country  Doctor,'  in  Fleet's  *  Glimpses 
of  Our  Ajiceators  in  Sussex,'  2nd  ed.,  which, 
however,  is  ver>-  vague  as  to  matters  of 
fact,  and  nearly  devoid  of  genealogical 
information. 

As  far  as  I  have  gathered,  he  was  a  son 
of  Henry  Verral  of  the  Cliffe  aforesaid, 
surgeon  (hitnself  the  pseudonymous  author 
of  a  voKune  of  poems  entitled  '  FuRitivo 
Scraps,*  by  "Old  A.Z,,''  published  at 
Lewe-s.  I82U),  and  was  born  in  1778.  He  is 
described  as  M.D.,  but  I  have  not  traced  the 
authority  for  this.  He  married,  in  1810, 
A  daughter  of  the  Rev.  J.  W,  King,  Hector 
of  Tarrant  Rushton,  Dorset,  who  seems  to 
have  died  early.  Of  his  many  children,  a  son 
and  &  daughter  are  now  living.  Another 
Bon.  Cliftrlea  Verral.  M.R.C.S..  of  Wey- 
moutli  Street,  an  authority  on  the  spine, 
is  aoticed  in  Boase's  '  Modem  English  Bio- 


.'  Verral  seems  to  have  had  financial 
osses  (Fleet),  and  left  Seaford.  dying  at 
Camberwell  in  1843. 

I  have  been  unable  up  to  the  present 
to  connect  him  with  either  of  the  principal 
and  ext-ant  Vorrall  families  of  Lewes,  namely, 
that  of  Southover  Manor,  and  that  from 
which  Dr.  A.  W.  Verrall  of  Csmbridge.  and 
Mr.  G.  H.  Verrall,  late  M.P.  for  Newmarket, 
besides  many  well-known  people  through 
female  lines,  are  descended.  I  am  al\rays 
glad  to  receive  any  information  concerning 
Verrall  and  Verral  families  of  Lewes  or 
Sussex.  Pkbceval  Lucas.

with  the  history  of  the  existing  Whitechapel

Duels  between*  Clergymen. — Are  there 
many  authenticated  cases  of  such  contests  ? 
Sir  Henry  Bate  Dudley's  various  battles  are 
too  well  known  to  cite,  but  I  have  discovered 
two  references  in  The  Ladys  Magazine 
which  seem  to  show  that  clerical  duels  were 
not  uncommon  in  the  eighteenth  century. 

The  first  reports  a  duel  with  pistols,  fought 
on  TImrsday,  19  June,  1706.  in  Hyde  Park» 
between  two  clergymen,  one  of  whom  liad 
three  fingers  shot  off  (see  p.  717). 

The  second  describes  a  duel  between  the 
Rev.  W.  Allen  and  Lloyd  Dulnney,  fought  in 
Hyde  Park  on  Tuesday,  18  June,  1782,  in 
which  the  latter  was  shot  dead  (see  p.  717).

Napoleon  and  the  Little  Red  Man. — 
I  take  the  following  account  from  *  Fifty 
Years'  I^lecollections.'  by  Cyrua  Redding, 
18S8,  vol.  ii.  pp.  67-8  : — 

"Tho  etnry  of  the  'Little  Rod  Man/  a  familinr 
demon  of  Bonaporic,  was  revived. . .  .by  thu 
Bourbonist«.  If  ni't  uri);:ina]ly  uf  their  iDveotioii. 
The  ex-Emperor  first  formed  an  intinincy  with  the 
'  Little  Red  Man  '  during  his  exploration  of  one 
of  the  KgypUan  Hj'romicls,  in  the  centre,  perhaps, 
of  the  room  wliere  stands  the  sarcopbagtis  of 
some  renownoU  Pharaoh.  Amidst  masses  of  iia- 
penetrablc  granite  Nap<ile«n  held  mysterious 
mectinKs  with  his  new  friend,  and  oa  well  as  the 
ruins  of  Egyptian  Temptps  [«'c],  in  the  ItitumiDous 
odotir  of  ('ataoombs  not  yet  half  explored,  and 
while  walking  in  the  ri'fulKence  of  the  xlowins 
mnon  (tt  a  brilliant  firmament  over  the  ruins  of 
Ileliopolis.  Aft*r  several  of  these  mysterious 
meetinKH,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  tlie  '  Little 
Red  Man,'  the  ex-Emperor  k»v«  way  to  certain 
ronditions,  at  a  moment  when  the  promised  ripe- 
ness ot  his  designs  nvercAme  every  other  object 
of  his  mental  vision,  and  he  agreed  to  heatow 
his  lofty  soul  upon  his  nether  mundane  visitx^r  in 
return  for  their  realiaatlon.  Tho  '  Little  Red 
Man  •  was  also  seen  with  the  Emperor,  by  numbers 
of  persons,  on  the  field  of  battle  about  tho  time 
of  his  subsequent  successes.  Ho  had  been 
observed  walkmfc  up  and  down  outside  the  Con- 
servatory at  St.  Cloud,  when  Nupt«leon  dissolved 
the  Convention.  At  Marengo,  at  Auattrlitx.  and 
on  other  occasions  he  was  present,  but  when  the 
fortune  of  the  Emperor  changed  in  1814,  ho 
was  seen  no  more,  having  ahanilonetl  his  friend 
because  Napoleon  violated  the  pledge  he  had 
Kiven  to  a  personage  who  had  obtained  for  him 
all  his  wonderful  successes.  The  *  Little  Red 
Man.*  from  the  colour  of  his  skin,  was  evidently 
nf  the  ancient  Egyptian  stock.  At  tho  greatest 
of  all  the  Entperor'a  victorit>H,  those  in  1700.  he 
had  not  mndt-  the  '  Little  Hcd  Man's  '  acquain-

Thus  consistent  and  clever  was  the  talc.     It  is

James  II. *8  Corpse  at  St.  Germain- 
■n-Laye. — The  church  of  St.  Germain-en- 
Laye  contains  the  tomb  of  James  II.  and  a 
simple  wliite  marble  monument,  erected  by 
George  IV.  It  was  restored  later  by  Queen 
Victoria.

As  regards  the  finding  of  the  body  of 
James  11.,  Tfte  QefUleman^a  Magazine,  1824, 
pt.  ii.  p.  266,  says  ; — 

"  A  Hhoii.  time  ago  the  rt-niains  of  Jame^  II., 
Kint;  of  RuMlnud,  were  discovervd  at  St.  liermaina 
bv  w<^rkineii  cmpluycd  in  digtrioK  the  foundation 
of  t-he  new  church  building  upon  the  sit^*  of  the 
old  ediflee,  which  was  found  Ui  bo  in  mt  ruinous 
a  state  aa  to  bo  utterly  inrapnbh;  of  r*'pair.  The 
King  of  EQfiland,  beiii>;)uforincd  of  thiHdiflcorcry. 
was  desirous  that  the  rcniaiiis  should  be  removed 
to  a  proper  plaee.  The  French  Government 
seconded  hia  Majesty's  wishes,  and  on  Sept.  Oth  the 
body  was  removed  In  Kreat  state,  and  deposited 
beneath  the  altar  until  the  new  ohureh  is  com- 
plctod." 

I  have  in  my  pija-session  a  letter  written  by 
Mr.  Pitman  Jones  whicli  appears  to  tlirow 
doubt  on  the  "  remains  "  here  mentioned 
being  really  those  of  James  II.  The  letter 
was  addressed  to  Sir  Henry  Ellis,  and  posted 
I  August.  1845.  at  Maidenliead.  I  shall  be 
glad  of  further  information  on  the  matter.

Oh,  that  wore  best  indeed 
To  spend  ourfwOves  upon  the  general  good. 
And,  oft  misunderstood. 

To  raise  the  fee1>Ie  knees  and  Limbs  that  bleed.

Can  any  of  your  readers  tell  me  where  the 
following  quotation  from  Goethe  is  to  be 
found  ?  John  Morley  in  one  of  his  works 
writes  : — 

"  .\3  Goethe  has  said,  sibyls  and  propheta  have 
alreAdy  spoken  their  inexorable  decree  on  the 
day  that  first  givefl  the  man  to  the  world  ;  no 
time  and  no  iniKht  can  break  the  stamped  mould 
of  his  ehoi-acter  ;  only  as  life  wears  **n  do  all  afore- 
shapen  lines  come  int^>  lit;ht.  He  is  lAunehed  into 
n  sea  of  external  pundition!*  that  are  an  independent

MUNICIPAL  RECORDS  PRINTED. 
(11  S.  ii.  287.) 

Ab  far  as  I  am  aware,  there  is  no  list  pub- 
lished of  these  valuable  works. 

For  my  own  use  I  have  compiled  a  list, 
which  does  not  profess  to  be  perfect.  If  a 
list  was  given  of  Town  Records  published 
by  the  local  authorities,  the  list  would  be 
small  indeed.  Some  have  been  published 
at  the  expense  of  corporations,  &c.,  though 
compiled  or  copied  by  private  enterprise. 
Some  have  been  extracted  by  permisaion, 
and  pubhshed  by  local  subscription  or  by 
antiquarian  societies  ;  some  are  extrt<mely 
valuable,  otliers  much  less  so  ;  but  as  tliey 
are  consulted  for  so  many  purposes,  criticism 
may  be  misplaced ;  for  the  genealogist, 
the  philologist,  the  social  historian,  the 
foJk-lorist,  and  even  the  desultory  reader  in 
search  of  hterary  curiosities,  can  find  ample 
raw  material  in  them.  It  is  difficult  to 
make  a  satisfactory  scheme  of  claatiitication, 
aa  every  plan  I  have  adopted  would  exclude 


pome  of  value.     In  the  folloxrinc  lint  I  have  * 
not  attompt-ed  to  supplj^  full  bii  ieal 

details,     but     only     mention     .-^  <  to 

identify  tlie  works  in  the  British  Museum 
Catalogue.  When  **  By. .  .  .So-and-so  "  i* 
given,  I  have  omitted  whether  translated, 
transcribed,  compiled,  or  edit^'d  ;  and  the 
date  in  {>arontheses  is  that  of  publication. 
It  is  quite  possible  that  since  I  first  mads 
m^y  notes,  the  incompleted  ones  may  now 
bo  accessible.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.        m  &  n.  Dk.  s.  ino. 


Women  carbvino  their  Husbands  on 
THEIR  Backs  (11  S.  ii.  409). — The  town  most 
notoriouHly  associated  with  tliia  widely 
spread  legend  is  Weinsberg,  now  in  Wiirttera- 
berg.  W.  L.  Hertslet  devotee  some  amusing 
pagoa  (199  foil.)  to  the  subject  in  liis  *  Trep- 
l>enwitz  der  Weltgeschichtc,'  6th  ed.  The 
story  was  told  in  connexion  with  the  capture 
of  tlie  place  by  the  Emperor  Konrad  III.  in 
1140.  It  does  not  tigure  at  all  in  the  earliest 
accounts,  and  appears  for  the  first  time  in 
the  *  Clironica  Regta  Coloniensis '  (c.  1170). 
Biiapicion  is  increased  by  the  fact  that  a 
closely  similar  incident  is  told  of  from  thirty 
to  forty  other  towns  and  castles.  Further, 
it  appears  that  the  Weinsberg  taken  was 
probably  no  town,  but  a  small  fort  near 
Heilbroim. 

The  legend  of  Weinsberg  seems  a  deve- 
lopment of  what  is  told  about  the  rapture 
of  Grema  in  the  north  of  Italy  by  Friedrich 
BarbarossiL  in  1160,  when  all  the  inhabitants 
were  allowed  to  depart,  taking  with  them 
what  they  could  carry  on  their  shoulders. 
One  woman  left  all  her  treasures  beliind 
in  order  to  carry  tier  invalid  husband.  But 
the  authority  for  tliis  turns  out  to  be  the 
same  chronicler  from  Cologne  who  is  re- 
sponsible for  the  Weinsberg  legend.  German 
j-joetry  and  painting  havo  found  a  congenial 
theme  in  the  mvth.  Its  familiarity  to  the 
English  reader  is  due,  in  part  at  least,  to 
the  use  which  Addison  made  of  it  in  The 
Spectator,  vol.  vii..  No.  499.  where  Will 
Honeycomb  says  he  found  it  related  in  liis 
*Miistorical  Dictiouary." 

Carlyle  twice  refers  to  the  story  in  liis 
'  Frederick  the  Great '  :  Book  III.  chap, 
xviii..  whore  he  suggests  that  Addison 
picked  it  out  of  '  A  Compleat  History  of 
Germany  '  by  Mr.  Savage,  and  Book  VII. 
chap.  VI.,  where  ho  characterizes  it  as  "  a 
liiglUy  mythical  stonr',  supported  only  by 
the  testimony  of  one  poor  Monk  in  Kdln." 

The  legend  is  included  in  that  entertaining 
treasxire-house  of  story,  Camerarius's  *Hor» 
Subcisivse/  Cent.  I.  cap.  61,  where  we 
learn  that  it  cured  Lorenzo  de'  Medici 
of  an  illness  without  any  further  aid  from 
phjTiic.  Burton,  '  Ajiat.  of  Melancholy,'

Camerarius.  Ei>wabu  Benslv. 

This  story  is  alluded  to  in  Uhland's  pnem 
entitled  '  Die  Geisterkeltcr,*  and  I  quote 
an  extract  about  it,  from  an  epitome  of 
Kussell's  *  Modern  Europe,'  at  the  end  of

In  Biirger's  ballad  *  Die  Weiber  von

town  of  that  name. 

Howard  S.  Peabsos^. 

Th«  village  H.  G.  inquires  about  it 
Weinsberg,  near  Heilbromi,  in  Wiirttem- 
berg.  The  hill  the  women  descended  is  stiQ 
called  Weilxirtreue,  and  a  paintuig  of  ths 
scene  is  preserved  iu  the  village  church. 
There  is  a  poem  by  Chamisso  recording  the

This  incident  occurred  in  1140  at  Weins- 
berg. In  1820  Charlotte,  Queen  of  Wxirttem- 
berg  and  daughter  of  our  George  III.,  wiUi 
other  ladies  of  Germany,  built  an  asylom 
there  for  poor  wometi  who  have  been  noted 
for  self-sacrificing  acts  of  love.

CHtrncHYARDS  ( 1 1  S.  ii.  389).— It  is  to  bo 
fearod  that  unless  something  further  ia 
added  under  thia  heading,  a  misappre- 
hension may  arise  as  to  the  precise  nature 
of  the  work  alluded  to  in  the  editorial  note 
to  this  query.  From  the  prospectus,  whiclx 
lies  before  me  as  I  wTite,  it  appears  that 
Mr.  P.  C.  Kushen  is  the  compiler  of  the  book, 
and  that  it  is  limited  to  containing  *' particu- 
lars of  every  external  monumental  inscrip- 
tion in  all  the  churchyards  and  graveyards 
within  the  limits  of  the  City  of  London, 
fifty-nine  in  number."  From  the  italics,, 
which  are  my  own,  it  will  be  seen  that  the 
inscriptions  in  the  chturches  remain  to  bo 
dealt  with,  for  since  the  drawing-up  of 
Fisher's  '  Catalogue '  of  1666  no  general 
work  on  this  subject  has  appeared. 

The  eighteenth-century  topographers,  aa 
Strype.  Maitland.  A'C,  in  reprinting  the 
cpitaj-ihs  recorded  in  the  jiages  of  Munday 
and  Dyson,  added  tlie  nrincii^al  of  those 
wliich  had  been  installed  in  the  churches 
ttubsequent  to  their  rebuilding  after  the 
Kire.  Thus  we  have  a  succession  of 
authorities  for  the  chief  inscriptions  current 
in  the  City  churches  from  about  the  niiddlo 
of  the  fourteenth  century  to  the  middle 
of  the  eighteenth.  I  have  often  wondered 
that  no  antiquary  has  arisen  of  sutticieiit 
enterprise  to  continue  their  printing  to  a 
more  modern  date.  The  fact  that  the 
churches  have  now  been  closed  for  burials 
for  some  fifty  or  more  years  would  allow  of 
practical  finality  in  the  work.

the  '  De  Mnribua  Orationes  '  collected  out  of 
Basil  bv  Simon  Metaphrastea  tho  j^aasago 
is  as  follows  :—

Latin  translation  of  Basil  by  various  liandu,  Paris,

Tliis  gives  the  sense  fairly  well. 

Simon  Mailleus's  rendering  (1558),  re- 
printed in  Migne,  may  come  to  much  the 
same  thing,  because  if  imiversal  lamenta- 
tion does  not  take  the  sting  from  our  own 
mourning,  it  can  be  said  that  no  amount  of 
mourning  can  satisfy  the  sense  of  loss,  or 
make  the  lamentation  match  tho  misfortune.

he  wished  to  read  tii*  irdOtt  instead  of  diradrj

howt'ver,  bc'ing  uHed  in  different  aenaes  the

introduced  into  all  schools  throughout

Orthopraphisclio  Konforenz,*'  which  was 
ttanded  uy  delegates  from  almost  all 
rr  man -speaking  States,  succeeded  in  draw- 
ing up  a  code  which  has  since  been  adopted 
in  Germany,  Austria,  and  SM-itzerland  for 
use  in  all  official  uTitings  and  to  be  taught 
in  schools  (cf.  the  pamphlets  *  Regein  fiir

liehes  Wortervorzeichnis  fikr  die  deutsche

As    to    Dr.    Breul's    edition    of    Cassell's 

*  German  Dictionary'  (the  best  bilingual  dic- 
tionary for  English  students),  quoted  by 
Prot.  Skeat,  the  facts  are  these  :    in  the 


English-German  part  the  new  spelling  is 
adopted,  whereas  in  the  German- English 
part,  unfortunately,  the  old  forms  still 
appear  ahnost  oxclusively.  It  is  needless 
to  say  that  all  these  thiitgs  are  fully  dis- 
cussed in  Dr.  Breul's  Introduction,  as  was 
to  be  expected  from  a  scholar  of  his  reputa- 
tion. If  he  expresses  the  view  that  the  new 
HX)elling  "  will  probably  be  generally  adopted 
in  the  future  "  {ib.,  p.  iv),  it  might  be  added 
that  this  has  already  taken  place  to  a  much 
larger  extent  than  the  public  seem  to 
realize.  The  best  **  all  German  **  dic- 
tionary for  tlie  student  who  seeks  information 
on  the  meaning,  grammatical  form,  &c.,  of 
modern  German  words,  Sanders's  *  Hand- 
wiir  terbuch  der  deutschen  Spracl  »e , '  as 
edited  by  Dr.  Wiilfing  (VVigand,  1910.  M.  10), 
totally  disregards  tJie  old  six^Ung,  and  it  is 
sincerely  to  be  lioped  that  tlie  same  course 
will  soon  be  adopted  by  writers  and  pub- 
lishers in  this  country.

The  replacement  of  th  by  t  is  now  oflficial 
and  universal  in  German  words  of  Germnnio 
origin  ;  hi  words  originally  Greek  it  has  been 
kept.  Therefore  we  spell  Ovte,  Tal,  Atcm, 
tun.  Tat,  but  Thraker.  Wags  said,  when 
the  last — rather  mild,  by  the  way — reform 
of  our  spelling  was  discussed,  that  the  drop-

be  iUfficult  to  fix  the  date  of  the  earliest  use

Malta  iu  Sussex.  In  Midhurst  there  was  a 
Conimandery  of  tiie  Order.  The  two  little 
districts  of  tli©  town  over  whicli  the  Knights 
exercised  jurisdiction  are  still  known  as  the 
Liberties  of  St.  John  of  Jerusalem.  They 
formed  no  part  of  the  ancient  manorial 
borough,  and  were  extra-parorhial.  So  long 
as  Midhurst  was  a  Parliamentary  borough  a 
separate  list  of  voters  was  firepared  for  the 
Liberty  of  St.  John.  I  do  not  know  if  this 
is  continued  now  that  the  boroi»gli  is  merged

It  mmfd  be  unfair  to  give  in  det&il  all  the  points 
CO  wliich  we  differ  from  Dr.  Wallcer  without 
girinc  any  idea  of  the  general  soondncsa  of  his 
■■BstiTe.  We  take  aa  specimens  of  his  worlt.  his 
•eecNiBta  of  some  of  the  greater  \*ictorian  norelists. 
TIm  chapter  called  '  After  Scott  '  has  some 
ncrcflcnt  remarks  on  Sir  Walter,  ajkI  throughout 
the  spiee  ha«  and  there  of  quotation  frf>ni 
eoBtenuorary  obeerrera  Is  skilfully  introduced. 
Bahrar^ytton  is  done  with  discrimination, 
Ihoagfa  in  another  department  than  fictioa  his 
'St.  otcpben's'  is  omitted,  a  good  specimen  of  a 
fire  kind  of  literature  iii  English,  and  one  that 
haa  given  the  language  some  permanent  auota- 
tion*.  Bnlwer-Lytton  and  Disraeli  arc  rightly  put 
ler,  but  of  the  "  several  point*  of  (Contact  " 
them  one  of  importance  might  surely 
b«en  emphasized.  They  not  oxjy  were 
but  actoally  read  together  authors  who 
had  an  int'lnence  on  their  style.  The 
ice  of  Disraeli's  *  Sybil  *  we  arc  glad  to 
cmphaaiied  :  his  interest  in  aocial  problems 
it  be  swept  aside  as  mere  opportunism. 
IHckena  and  Thackeray  have  a  chapter  of 
than  forty  pages  to  themselves,  though  a 
otber  names  crop  up  for  consideration,  Huch 
that  of  the  creator  of  Jorrocks,  whu  had, 
think,  more  talent  than  is  here  indicated.  The 
of  the  merits  and  character  of  Dickens 
of  the  beet  we  have  seen  of  recent  veart, 
within  a  small  compass  to  indicate 
vhkh  have  been  blurred  by  his  over- 
popularity,  or  only  seen  clearly  in  an 
I  his  work  has  cuma  to  be  examined 
Our  only  addition  of  importance 
concern  the  advance  of  style  in  Dickens, 
hetween  *  Pickwick '  and  '  Our  Mutual 
The  former  has  some  of  the  facetious 
dumsy  paraphrase  which  flourishes  in 
__jjdMi  by  Uo%  '  ;  the  latter  is  as  brilliant  in 
Wit  paaaagcs  as  anything  Dickens  flid,  and 
^  flrom  the  Tcrbiage  of  .earlier  books. 
Paacing  to  Thackeray,  we  may  note  that  bis

an  important  book»  not 

i.unded  with  many  pre- 

rks  which  have  appeared  from  time 


to  titiie  on  a  subject  which  demands  special 
I ea ruing  and  sound aess  of  iudgment  for  i ta 
adequate  treatment.  His  book  is  strictly  scieatific. 
Of*,  instead  of  repeating  ancient  guesses,  be 
invairiably  has  recourse  to  the  Quellen  or  sourcea 
in  the  charters  for  the  facts  upon  which  he  builds 
his  conclusions.  The  enormous  amount  of 
laborious  investigation  which  he  must  have 
undertaken  in  this  way  is  erident  on  every  page. 
It  is  a  work  of  independent  research.  He  is  not 
content  to  reproduce  what  others  have  quarried* 
but  goo3  to  the  mine  for  his  own  ore.  Even  such 
writers  as  Dr.  Bradley  and  Prof.  Skeat  are  but 
seldom  referred  to  ;  Dr.  Joyce  only  twice,  Isaac 
Taylor  not  at  all  ;  but  the  somewhat  speculative 
views  of  8ir  John  Bhys  on  Celtic  matters  are 
treated  perhaps  with  more  respect  thnn  they 
dtfser\'e.  Himself  a  trained  philologist.  Mr. 
McClure  grounds  hiin.self  t>n  the  latest  school  of 
German  scholarship,  with  the  rvsults  of  which  he 
manifests  a  wide  acquaintance.  His  work  falls 
naturally  into  four  divisions :  '  The  Koman 
Occupation,'  '  The  Teutonic  Invasion,'  '  Th* 
Coming  of  the  Northmen.'  and  '  The  Wars  with 
the  Norsemen  and  the  Nonriau  Conquest  dnwn 
to  the  Reign  of  Stephen.*  The  method  adopl'*d 
is  to  give  a  brief  but  connecte<l  account  of  the 
historical  events  from  contemporary  writers 
with  a  discussion  of  the  place-names  as  they  arise 
in  each  period.  Incidentally  a  large  number 
of  personal  names  find  their  cxpl&oation,  which  la 
often  of  curious  interest.  The  notes  throughout 
are  packed  with  learning  and  condensed  informa- 
tion, and  in  many  cases  Rive  critical  r^umi^s  of 
historical  questions  of  the  highest  value.  We- 
mav  instance  the  disquisitions  on  Vortigem 
(p.  128),  on  King  Arthur  (p.  14D),  and  on  Glaston- 
bury (p.  1&7). 

When  the  author  says  that  the  Trinobantes  left 
no  surviving  traces  of  their  name  (p.  30),  exception 
might  be  made  «»f  Troy-uovant  and  New  "Troy, 
a  common  Elizabethan  word  for  London.  Butter 
in  Hutt4^r-inere  and  other  local  names  ia  explained 
as  *'  bittern."  Prof.  Skeat's  suggestion  of  the 
personal  name  ThH-here  (Uuterus).  "  army-help," 
»  perhaps  more  nrobablo  (10  S.  xii.  92).  It 
seems  also  more  obvious  to  analyze  the  river- 
name  Windrush  as  Win(d)-ruah  in  accordance 
witli  its  ancient  form  Uuenrisc  (A.-S.  risce,  a 
rush),  than  as  a  Celtic  Tl*m-r-i*c  (Owen  -f  mc)» 
white-water,    which    fails    to    account   for    the    r 

(p.  ai8). 

Mr.  McClure's  is  a  conscientious  and  scholarly 
piece  of  work  which  has  earned  our  grateful 
appreciation,  and  we  ran  commend  it  to  all 
students  of  Hngliah  as  truHworthy  and  authorita* 
tive.  An  excellent  index  makes  it  in  every  way 
complete.

THE  WORDSWORTHS  AND    SCOTT; 
"  HORNSHOLE." 

A  cuBious  error  occurs  in  two  much-road 
"works  of  the  early  part  of  laat  century. 
The  first  of  tliese  is  Miss  Wordsworth^a 
*  Recollfctioiifl  of  a  Tour  made  in  Scotland. 
A.D.  1803.'  After  meeting  the  two  Words- 
worths  in  Jedburgh,  Sir  Walter  Scott 
accompanied  them  upthevalloyof  the  Te^-iot, 
and  directed  their  attention  to  the  numerous 
objects  of  interest.  "One  beautiful  spot,'* 
eaj's   Miss   Wordsworth, 

**1  recxtUcct which  Mr.  Scott  took  un  to  aee  a 

few  yardji  from  the  rood.  A  nU'iiio  briflge  croAfled 
the  water  at  a  deep  and  still  plaoe,  CAllcd  Horne'a 
Pool,  fruni  a  oontempUtive  Hchoolinaflttir.  who  had 
b'ved  not  far  from  it.  and  was  aooustomed  to  walk 
thither,  and  spend  much  of  his  leisure  uear  thu 
riTer." 

Thefre  can  be  no  doubt,  however,  that  the 
uacue  of  tlie  place  thus  referred  to  is  not 


"  Home's  Pool,"  but  "  Hornshole."  a  well- 
known  deep  and  impressive  pool  in  the 
Teviot,  beautifully  situated  about  three 
miles  from    Hawiclc. 

In  his  *  Memoirs  of  Scott  *  Lockhart  has 
unfortunately  illustrated  Uio  saying  that 
"  a  story  loses  nothing  in  the  telling.'* 
When  giving  his  aceoiuit  of  Scott's  acting  as 
cicerone  to  these  distinguished  tourists,  the 
biographer  stated  in  a  foot-note  tJiat  he  liad 
drawn  it  up  partly  from  his  recollection  of 
Word8wortn*3  conversation  and  i>artly  from 
that  of  Miss  Wordsworth's  diary  of  the 
Scottish  toxir,  which  the  poet  read  to  Lock- 
hart  on  Hi  May.  1836.  Honoe  the  latt^ 
states  that  when  the  trio  proceeded  along  the 
valley  of  tlie  Teviot  towards  Hawick,  Scott 
made  them  halt  to  admire  a  si>ot  "  called 
Home's  Pool,  from  ita  having  been  the  daily 
haunt  of  a  contemplative  schoolmaster, 
known  to  him  [Scott]  in  his  youth." 

But  if  the  place  was  named  after  some  one, 
and  if  Scott  knew  him,  that  person  must 
have  \teen  a  modern  Methuselah  !  As 
ciarly  as  the  year  1494,  in  the  '  Acts  of  the 
Lords  Auditors,'  we  find  mention  of  this 
place  under  the  name  "  hornysholo  " — the 
adjacent  habitation  being  then  occupied  by 
one  WilUam  Douclas.  In  1510.  again , 
"  John  Turnbull  in  Hornishole "  dwelt 
thero  ;  and  from  that  date  onwards  there 
are  copious  references  to  tliis  place-name 
in  the  forms  "  Hornishoill,"  "HornescheiU,** 
"HorneshoU."  "  Horneshell,"  ^' Hornsheill," 
and  ultimately  "  Hornshole." 

There  is  a  vague  *'  tradition  "  that  two 
schoolmasters — brothers  of  the  name  of 
Home — on  the  occasion  of  a  \-isit  to  Mr. 
Inglis  (who  was  a  schoolmaster  in  Hawick 
about  1756),  attempted  to  cross  the  ice- 
covered  river  at  this  spot ;  but  that  the  ice 
gave  way,  and  they  were  both  drowned.  I 
have  failed  to  discover  any  information 
authenticating  the  exititence  of  tliese  un- 
fortunate dominies,  and  believe  that  the 
story  was  invented  to  explain  the  place- 
name. 

It  is  very  probable  that  the  name  is 
composed  of  our  old  English  word  **  horn," 
and  the  word  *'  hole "  in  the  sense  of  a 
deep  pool  in  a  river.  But  whatever  be  its 
origin,  it  is  pretty  certain  that  the  name  of 
a  Hchoolmaster  either  known  or  unknown 
to  Scott  did  not  give  rise  to  it.  The  place 
imdoubtedly  received  its  name  con-siderably 
long  before  schools  were  instituted  in  thai 
neighbourhood.  There  is  a  retJiote  possi- 
bility, of  course,  that  a  schooUuaster  named 
Horno  (of  whom,  however,  the  present 
writer  can  find  no  trace)  frequently  \'iaited

HomBhole  in  the  eighteenth  century.  But 
the  history-  of  the  place-name  shows  beyond 
doubt  that  his  name  does  not  forni  the 
first  element  of  "  Homshole."

The  background  is  dark  green,  with  remains 
of  diapering  and  four  small  circles  con- 
taining 8>*mbo]fl  of  the  Evangelists.  Our

tone,  which  is  ornamented  vitli  dot«  and

border,  is  surmounted  by  a  small  circular 
ornament  (a  marguerite),  and  is  set  izi

piec«8  of  old  glass  wore  found,  some  very 
rotten,  but  others  retaining  their  brilliancy, 
but  too  small  to  utilize.

Probably  this  piece  is  part  of  a  Iwokoi 
Aimunciation  window.  Below  the  figun  * 
a  medallion,  green  in  centre  with  intncit^ 
floriated  scraped-out  design,  surrouii^

quarries  decorated  with  conventional  floiww 
and  a  border  of  ostrich  feathers  stuck  m 
scrolls,  all  much  decayed  and  fragmenttf}'- 
I  liave  elsewhere  euggested  that  this  hortlpf 
may  have  had  some  reference  to  Thonuw  *^f

(Boutell's  '  English  Heraldr>\'  4th  ed  .  !fi7>.

ture of  the  ancient  glass  in  this  church 
is  the  fact  tliat  most  of  it,  fragmentary  aa 
it  is,  is  in  situ,  thereby  supporting  the  theory 
that  gradual  decay  has  played  a  greater  j)art 
than  active  destruction  in  tlie  loss  of  the 
painted  glass  which  formerly  filled  every 
window  in  our  old  churches.  In  the  eastern- 
most window  of  the  N.  aisle  are  several 
quarries  decorated  with  the  maple  leaf, 
some  of  them  being  so  fac'ed  as  not  to  be 
visible  from  the  floor  level.

the  Coronation  of  Our  Lady — representing, 
to  use  the  words  relating  to  the  fifth  glorious 
mystery  of  the  Rosary,  "  how  the  glorious 
Virgin  Mary  was.  to  the  great  jubilee  and

In  section  I^  Mb.  Eden  mentions  a 
8tained-gla8H  window  in  the  Hospital  at 
Great  llford,  and  asks:  **  Wliat  does  this 
picttjre  represent  ?  "  A  young  man  is 
embracing  an  old  one,  as  if  in  friendship, 
and,  wliiTe  so  doing,  secretly  tlirusts  his 
fiword  into  the  old  man's  side. 

Does  not  this  refer  to  the  treacherous 
slaughter  of  Abner,  the  captain  of  the  army 
of  Ishbosheth  (son  of  Saul),  by  Joub,  the 
captain  of  David's  amiy,  at  the  beginning  of 
his  reign  (2  Sam.  iii.  27)  ?  The  houses 
inrould  be  Hebron,  where  the  murder  took 
place ;  the  mountains,  those  of  Judap^, 
which  are,  as  I  noticed  wlien  at  Hebron  in 
1908,  close  about  the  city  ;  and  the  wrtttT 
might  refer  to  the  large  pools  close  to 
Heoron,  over  which  Ishbosheth' s  murderers 
were  hung  (2  Sain.  iv.  12). 

The  main  incident  would  also  do  for  Joab

EDWARD    I.    AND    HENRY    Vin.'S 
QUEENS. 

In  The  Daily  News  of  14  October  the 
reviewer  of  Prof.  A.  F.  Pollard's  book  on 
England  from  the  accession  of  Edward  VI. 
to  the  death  of  Elizabeth  (1547-1603)  quotes 
that  distinguished  historian  to  the  effect  that 
Jane  Seymour,  like  all  Henry's  queens,  was 
a  descendant  of  Edward  I.  He  suggests  that 
the  verification  of  tliis  stat*?m«*ut  uould 
form  a  nice  i^nealogical  puzzle  for  any  one 
M'ho  was  addicted  to  such  bypatlis  of  liistory ; 
but  says  that  he  himself  is  quite  willing  to 
take  the  author*a  word  on  the  subject. 

The  solution  of  the  problem  is,  I  think, 
as  follows. 

Kaiherine  of  Aragon  was  tlie  daughter  of 
Ferdinand  of  Aragon  and  Isabella  of  Castile. 
Isabella,  her  husband's  first  cousin,  was

Pip,"  a  Spot  on  a  Card. — I  formerly 

that  pip,  a  spot  on  a  card,  was  a 

peculiar  use  of  pip  in  tlie  seiise  of  a  seed 

of  some   fruits.     The   *  N.E.D,'   shows  that 

this   ift   impoiwible,    l>ecau»e    the   pi]>8   on   a 

card  were  at  first  called  peep^^  as  in  Middle- 

Hlon,  about  1804  ;    whereas  pip,  in  the  sense 

^bf  seed,  does  not  appear  till  the  eighteenth 

^beniur}'. 

P  But  I  believe  still  that  the  idea  is  correct ; 
and  I  now  offer  a  different  guess,  in  the  liope 
of  doing  better.  /Vrp*  on  a  card  may  easily 
the  same  word  as  peeps,  a  familiar  abbre- 
fction  of  peeping,  which  was  another  form 
pippins,  and  really  a  better  form,  as  being 
loser  to  the  M.E.  pcpin. 

See    the    quotation    from    Dekker    (about 

1600)  given  *.i'.  '  Pip,'  sb.  3.     In  Dokker's 

(Old  Fortunatus.'  Act  IV.  bc.  ii..  the  Irish 

►stermonger.-*,     crj-ing    apples,     call     them 

*€pins  and  peeps  ;  where  peeps  is  obviously 

lort  for  pee  pins,  in  the  sense  of  "apples." 

lut  the  word  pepin  was  also  in  use  at  the 

le  date  in  the  gonse  of  *'  seed,"  as  is  shown 

the   quot-ation  from   Holland   (in   1601), 

B.v.  '  Pippin,*  sense  1  (seed  of  certain  fruits). 

And  this  form,  at  any  rate,  is  old  enough, 

for    pepin    (in    this    sense)    occurs    in    the 

•Cursor  Mundi,'  1.  1366. 

^^I  tliink  it  is  safe  to  conclude  that  the 

H|.E.  pepin,   used    in   both   senses   from   the 

^Kteenrh     century    downwards,    may    have 

^^miliarly   been  shortened  to  peep,  likewise 

^roed  (why  not  ?)  in  both  senses. 

If  pip  on  a  card  cannot  be  from  pip,  seed, 
it  may  still  be  true  that  a  peep  on  a  card 
was  short  for  peeping  a  pippin. 

IWai^tek  W.  Skkat. 
Hats  and  Plaotte. — I  have  not  seen  it 
»ticed  that  the  connexion  of  rats  with  the 
read  of  the  plague  is  very  old.     In   1  Sam. 
n.  4  tlie  Revised  Version  is  : — 

**  What  ahftU  be  tlie  Rnill  otferiiig  which  we  shall 
return  to  him  ":  And  tliyy  said,  FiveRoIdei!  tumours, 
find  five  Kulflen  mice,  accordiiii;  to  the  number  of 
lords  of  the  Philistine** :  for  one  plnf^ue  was  on 
all,  and  on  yonr  lorrla.'* 

Gcikie  in  *Hoiu^  with  the  Bible*  says  that 

the    Hebrew    word   *  aklmr/   tmnslAtcd    'mice* 

our    Bible,   includes  all   the  small  rodenta  of 

de«tine snd  Literally  moann  the  *  com-cftter."* 

Houghton  in  '  Animals  of  the  Uible  '  ('  The 
Hble  Educator.'  i.  108)  includes  among  "  the 
laller  Rodentia  "  "  the  rat  and  mouse.'* 


The  "  tumours "  (in  the  Authorized 
Version  "Emerods'*)  point  plainly  to  the 
bubonic  plague.  The  Pliiljstines  sent  these 
golden  symbols  of  their  plague  as  if  they  were 
closely  connected,  as  modem  research  has 
shown  to  bo  the  caae.  Oeikie  points  out 
that 

"Tn vernier  tells  us  that  when  a  pilgrim  (in  India) 
'undertakaa  a  iouin*;y  to  a  pagoda  to  be  cured  of  a 
disease,  he  oflers  to  the  idul  a  i>resent,  either  in 
Rold,  ailver  or  copper,  acoording  to  his  ability,  id 
the  ahaiw  of  the  diseiised  or  injurwl  member.' " 

So,  when  tlie  Pliilistines  sent  the  golden 
tumours  and  the  golden  mice  (or  rats),  they 
wished  to  send  a  complete  representation  of 
the  plague  that  was  troubling  them — in  fact, 
cause  and  effect.  Eknest  B.  Savage.

BiJh.CK  Bats  in  Lojtdon. — In  a  creepy 
article  on  rata  in  The  Oraphi^i  of  12  Novem-

rats,  black  rats,  and  grey  rata  which  re- 
sponded to  the  invitations  of  an  adept  cm- 
ployed  to  clear  a  City  rvstatu-ant  of  ita 
fauna  during  the  night-time.  Do  black 
rats  still  sm-vive  in  any  large  number  in 
London,  or  was  Mr.  Gibbs  in  a  sort  of 
"  double,  double  toil  and  trouble "  atmo- 
sphere, which  made  liim  think  "  '  Black

where  the  Hanoverian  rat  swarmed,  the 
English  would  not  be.  Th»*  present  raid  on 
rat«  is  one  of  the  best  things  that  have  taktu

It  contained  a',  b — o*.     Pp.  [4]-f  7*2.

No.  iii.  has  for  signatures  q — y*,  z.  Pp. 
155-240. 

The  first  three  numbers  liave  the  caption- 
lioadin^  *  The  Mathematical  Repository,' 
but  this  is  not  rej)eated  in  Nos.  iv.  and  v., 
whi«3h,  however,  seem  to  comprise  pp.  241- 
320  and  321-420. 

The  eonijjlet«d  volume,  which  is  dedicated 
to  Charles  Hutton,  has  a  separate  title-page  :

plates   xiv.-xar\'i. ).    from   internal   evidence, 
rs  to  contain  Nos.  vi.  to  xi.,  but  there 

no  captioii-heaUing  save  for  the  ^rst  of 
Tlie  voliune  is  dedicated  to  the 
Rev.  Nevi!  Maskelyne,  and  the  covering 
title-page   is  datt'd    1801. 

The  third  volume  (pp.  iv.  -f-  264  ;  plat«s 
xxA-ii. -xxxiii. )  came  to  an  end  with  No.  xiv.. 
the  questions  whose  solutions  are  j^romised 
(p,  149)  for  No.  XV.  being  answered  in  tlio 
previous  number.  It  hiks  no  dedication,  and 
only  one  caption-heading,  und  the  covering 
title-page  is  dated  1804. 

With  the  appearance  of  No.  ii.  of  the 
*  Repository  '  (in  1796?)  "it  was  thought 
expedient  to  enlarge  the  original  j)l«n  by 
including  in  it  whatever  relates  to  Natiu-al 
Philosophy."  Acc^>rdinglv  Nos.  ii.  to  xiv. 
contained  each  a  Second  Part  with  separate 
pagination,  and  these  Second  Porta  were 
afterwards  collected  into  two  volumes  (un- 
known to  Lowndes)  with  the  title-page 
"  The  Philoaopliical  Repository.     By  T.  l-ey-

i  platAS  (Nos.  xii.  to  xiv.  ;  pp.  iv.  -f  124).] 
The  first  thieo  issues  (from  Nos.  ii.,  iii..  iv.) 
had  the  caption  heading  (on  pp.  1,  29,  65) 
**Tho  Philosophical  Department  of  the 
Mathemutieal  Kepusitory  '  ;  but  this  is  not 
0ab«oquently    repeated,   and   it   is   difficult 


to  determine  from  the  bound  volume  wliero 
the  later  parts  began  aikd  ended.  X  shall  be 
glad  to  ascertain  tliis.

of  Mat}iematical   and   Philosophical  Books, 

By  T.  l^eyhoiUTi I>ondon 1801  "  (pp. 

ii.  4-  102). 

The  issues  of  1795  to  1803  had  a  page  of 
6|  by  4i  in.  ;  but  a  New  {Series,  begun  in 
1804,  increased  the  size  to  9  by  5J  in.  The 
contents  of  each  number  usually  included 
three  parts  (with  separate  paginations)  : 
Mathematical  Questions  ;  Original  Essays  ; 
Memoirs  extracted  from  Works  of  Eminence. 
Twenty-five  numbers  of  this  New  Series 
appeared  at  irregular  intervals  from  1804 
to  1835  and  form  six  volumes  with  imprints 
1806  (Nos.  i.-v.),  1809  (Noa.  vi.-ix.).  1814 
(Nos.  x.-xiii.)»  1819  (Nos.  xiv.-xvii.),  1830 
(Nos.  x^aii.-xxi.).  1835  (Nos.  xxii.-xxv.). 
Questions  571  to  610,  appearing  in  Nos.  xxiv. 
and  XXV.,  remained  unanswered.  Vols.  iii. 
to  vi.  contain  reprints  of  the  Cambridge 
Problems  from  1811  to  1831.  The  only 
original  covers  tliat  I  liave  seen  are  of 
Noa.  xvi.  (1  May,  1819),  xWi.  (1  Nov.,  1819), 
and  xviii.  (1  March,  1821).  I  wi-sh  to  ascer-

In  looking  up  various  authorities  I  find 
that  the  word  "  groat  "  is  in  some  inatancca 
a  coin  of  the  value  of  fourpence.  and  in  others 
a  measure  of  coarsely  ground  oats  ;  but  the

Cavallini  akt>  Edward  the  Conpessob's 
Tomb. — Authorities  seem  to  differ  greatly 
as  t«  tliis  great  artist,  his  work  and  life. 
The  ordinary  guide-books  toll  us  that  Abbot 
Ware  of  Westminster,  who  visited  Romo  in 
1256  and  saw  his  wonderful  mosaic  work 
there,  induced  him  to  come  to  Kaglfuid 
in  1260  and  erect  tlie  slirine  of  the  Confessor, 
and  also  lay  down  the  mosaic  floor  in  front 
of  tl»P  high  altar.  On  tlio  other  hand, 
Pietro  CavQllim  or  Pietro  do  Cortona  is  said 
to  h»ve   he'e^n   the  contemporary  ol  Ci\oUo, 


wiio  was   Uirn   in    1276!     Many   works   of 

Cavatltni,  both  in  mosaic  and  on  canvas, 
are  catAlogued  in  Du  Barri's  "  Painter's 
Voyage  '  (1679)  a«  existing  at  St.  Peter's  and 
several  other  churches  in  Rome.  AWre  there* 
two  Cavallints,  workers  in  mosaic,  one  about 
a  centtiry  before  the  other  7 

A  fine  example  of  the  artist's  work  seems 
to  have  been  secured  by  Horace  Walpol* 
for  his  collection  at  Strawberry  Hill-  li 
consisted  of  a  shrine  originally  erecte^i  in  tlie 
church  of  Sta  Maria  Maggiore  in  Home  is 
1256  (mark  the  date),  '*  over  the  bodies 
of  the  holy  martyrs  SimpUcius,  FauMina. 
and  Beatrix,  by  John  James  Capocoio  and 
Vinia  liis  wife "  (Pennant's  *  London.' 
1793).  It  is  said  to  be  the  only  work  by 
this  artist  in  England  besides  those  in  West*

Monastic  Sites  and  Bckied  Tbeasxtbe. 
— Can    there    be    anything    in    the    popular 
supposition  that  the  Monastic  Orders  buried 
a  considerable  portion  of  their  treasui^a  when 
the  news  of  the  eightli  Henry's  intentiona 
became  known  ?     Tliis  past  summer,  wlien

of  thifl  belief. 
At  Mark>-ate  Cell,  ne^ar  Flamstead,  there 
I     is  a  legend  current  that

but  which  was  originally  surrounded  by  tho 


conventual    buildings,    the    gate-house   and 
lesser  guest-house  of  which  still  remain. 

Have  any  discoveries  ever  been  mado 
upon  the  sites  of  monastic  houses  which 
would  give  colour  to  tho  belief  ?

KNIGHTS   OF  THE   SWAN  : 
BLUMENORDNUNG. 

(US.  ii.  360.) 

I  THINK  tlmt  J.  D.  ift  iiuBtakon  when  he  saya 
that  the  Order  of  Knights  of  the  Swan  was 
founded  at  An.sj»at^h.  Sir  Bernard  Burke 
in  '  The  Book  of  Orders  of  Knighthood,' 
1858,  gives  an  account  of  the  Order,  pp.  211- 
218  ;  also  on  plate  67  is  a  coloured  repre- 
sentation of  the  badge  of  the  Order,  in- 
cluding part  of  the  chain. 

•*  This  is  the  oldest  of  aU  the  Prussian  Orders . 
It  existed  in  tho  flft«v>nth  century,  under  vari<»us 
names,  such  as  :  '  The  Society  of  the  Miulonna 
of  the  Swun,*  '  The  Sjcciety  (ur  the  honour  i.>f  the 
Holy  Mother  of  t'hrist,'  *  Order  of  the  IllesftcKt 
Mary,'  *  Order  of  the  wearers  of  the  chain  of  St. 
Marj-,'  •  Order  of  the  Swan,'  Ar.,  aud  had  iU  scat 
jn  the  St.  Maria  Church  nenr  Brandenburg. " 

The  Elector  Frederick  II.  founded  at 
this  church,  i 

"  on  2Uth  .Sept<^mbep,  m»,  a  corporation,  c<»n- 
nistinK  (besiciea  the  Prince  himself)  of  thirty 
noblemen  and  seven  ladies,  whu  were  hound  to 
Bay  daily,  in  honour  of  the  HIewed  \'irgin,  tieven 
Patornostem  and  Ave-Marfaa,  or  distribute  in 
default  seTen  pfennlge  daily  attiuntrft  the  poor. 
They  were,  however,  to  prepare  thenisclve.s  by 
fast  and  prayer  for  the  solenm  celebration  of  the 
f«etival  of  tho  Virgin,  and  pay  four  sroschen  t^i 
the  Canons  on  every  quarter  day,  in  return  for 
which  the  Ittttor  were  Ui  i-end  n)*as<$  on  the  sume 
days  for  the  departml  bouIs  ot  the  member* . 
wbr«e  names  were  read  over  aloud  ou  that 
occasion. 

"  The  bailge  which  the  meinbera  were  bound  to 
wear  daily  by  fine  of  el^ht  pfennige  for  the  poor, 
conaiBted  of  a  neck  chain  of  thirttn^n  lirikit,  joined 
together  by  rings,  and  each  of  which  represfnted 
(a  martyr-instrument)  two  sawa  and  n  red  heart 
between  them,  the  fiifure  of  the  Ulestted  Virgin, 
with  the  iufant  Jeans  in  the  moon,  surrounded 
by  ravs  in  oval  form,  appended  to  tlmt  chain, 
and  of  a  swan  with  expanded  wiugH  placed  in  a 
towel  tied  in  the  form  of  a  bow,  the  two  ends  of 
which  were  adomeil  with  small  uohlen  chaina 
and  fastened  under  the  figure  of  the  Virgin." 
Then  follows  the  explanation  of  the  sym- 
bolic insignia  according  to  tho  Htatutes. 

At  tho  death  of  a  member,  the  ehain  was 
returned  to  the  St*  Maria  (Church,  where  i*  funeral 
proceeaion  tf»ok  pittco. 

"  After  the  lapft©  of  Ihreo  years,  new  Btatut**.s 
were  published,  in  consequence,  aa  it  appears,  of 
complaints  mnde  by  the  monks  about  the  scanty 
and  iusuflicient  income  derived  from  the  eudow- 
raont  find  other  aources.  The  new  •statutes  did 
not  limit  the  number  of  members  ;  but  required 
the  proof  of  four  generations  of  noble  descent," 
Provision  waa  also  made  for  higher  feea. 

" Pope      Nicholua      V.      conlirmed       these 

0Utut<3$.     The    Oniex    evented    at    that    p<-rt<Mi

and  thirty-four  in  tjppcr  Oennany,  The  nombcr 
of  the  unmarried  female  members  vrm4  twenty- 
three. 

"  In  1450,  tlie  Knights  of  Franct/Dia  baviag 
represented  to  the  Marin'sve  Albert,  brr>ther  of 
the  Elector  Frederick  II.,  that  the  distance  nf 
their  hom«»s  from  the  seat  of  the  Order  was  tou 
great  for  them  to  attend  rc^larly  the  meetiiifi 
of  the  society,  it  waa  arranged.  h\  -fiucti'iii  <A

Koreat  wore  Ui  attend  on  ft^stival  days,  though  tii'< 
nomination  remained  as  before  the  privilege  ul

The  Order  disa]^neared  from  Northero 
Germany,  where  it  had  exint^d  for  over  * 
hundred  years,  and  its  estates  fell  to  the 
Crown.

with  the  Convent  of  the  '  Madonna  tV-iDgrrp*

The  Order  waa  revived  by  a  decree  diwd 
"  Berlin,  Christmas  Eve,  1843,*'  by  Fred«ek

The  Bluinenorduung,  or  rather  Bluinen- 
orden  at  Nuremberg,  still  exists  under  the 
name  of  '*  Pegnesischer  Bhunenorden."  One 
of  its  iiresidents  in  the  nineteenth  century 
was  the  Reirhsgraf  von  Soden,  tlie  author 
of  a  version  of  *  Faust/  who  died  in    1831. 

The  Order  was  founded  in  1644  by  G.   P. 

Harrtdorffer    (1607-58).    the    author    of    tlic 

*  I»Vaut*nziniinerge6prachHr)ieIo  '    and   of    the 

so-called     *  Niirnberger    Trichter,'     and    by 

J.    Klaj   or  C'lajus  (1616-66),  author  of  the 

'  Lobrede    der   deutschen    Poeterei '    (1645), 

containing    a    description    of    this    Order. 

Other  names  for  this  f)rder,  which  was  one 

of    the    numerous    German    "  Sprachgesell- 

Hlhaften  "   of  the  seventeenth  century,  are 

Hpegnitzer  Hirten-  und  Blumcnorden  **  and 

^BGeaellschaft.    der   Pegiutzschafer   oder   der 

^Bkronte  Bluinenorden."     The  first  president 

was  Harsdorfter,  who  had  received  the  name 

uf   Straphon,   and   who   remained   president 

■iU  hid  death  in  1658.     S.  von  Birken  (1626- 

^■81),     author     of     the     *  Poetiken  *      and 

^Tegnesia,'  was  "  Oberhirt "  in  1662.     The 

members  of  the  Order,   who  had   pastoral 

names,    cultivated    postural    poetry.     They 

were  fond  of    using  annptestti  and  dactyls. 

leir  attempts   at    drama   are    very  weak.

209,  258.  351).— Seoinc  by  accident  a 
few  days  ago  Mb.  John-  Ward's  reply  on 

^Uiia  subject,    I   should   like   to  add  a  few 

Kprrections  : — 

H^  Jeremy  Taylor  was  tu-ice  married.  By 
his  first  wife  he  had  three  sons,  who  all  died 
young.  By  his  second  wife,  Joanna  Brydges, 
a  daughter  of  Charles  I.,  he  had  two  sons, 
who  also  died  young.  One  dnughter, 
Joanna,  married  Edward  Harrison,  barriKtt^r- 
at-law,  of  Maphcralftive,  M.P.  for  Lishurn 
during  many  ParHaments.  Their  daughter 
Mary  married  Col.  Francis  Cohimbyno  (her 
second  husband  was  Sir  Cecil  Wray)  : 
a  daugliter.  Frances  Colmubyne,  married 
William  Todd  ;  their  daugJiter  Mary  Wray 
Todd    married    Conway    Jones    of    Homra, 


CO.  Antrim.  Their  daughter  Frances  Jones 
married  Joseph  Pollock,  barrister -at -law, 
of  Ballyediuoud,  Cliairman  of  Quarter 
Sessions  for  Down.  Their  daughter  Mary 
Anno  Pollock  married  William  Clarke,  J. P. 
of  Belfast  (his  first  wife  l^ing  Miss  Diniglas)  ; 
and  their  son,  my  father,  Edward  Harris 
Clarke,  then  barrister -at -law,  afterwards  a 
director  of  the  Belfast  Bank,  married  a 
daughter  of  George  Black  of  t)tranmillis. 

It  was  Charlotte  Jones,  sister  to  Mrs. 
Pollock,  and  wife  of  Col.  Henrj*  Wray,  who 
e&vf*  the  picture  to  AU  Souls  College  ;  and 
Lady  Wray,  mentioned  above,  wrote  a 
sort  of  history  of  Jeremy  Taylor. 

The  picture  of  Charles  I.  mentioned  by 
Me.  Wabii  came  not  from  the  Taylor 
family,  but  from  a  William  Clarke  who  lived 
about  1700. 

The  W^ilsons  are  not  descendants  of  Jeremy 
Taylor,  but  are  related  to  t  ho  Clarkes 
tlirough  the  Stewarts,  I^gge«,  Blacks,  and 
Ecrlos.   who   all   intermarried. 

Mr.  W.  C.  Gillilan,  nephew  of  the  late  K.  H . 
Clarke,  has,  in  addition  to  the  picture 
mentioned,  a  curious  old  cabinet,  the  pro- 
perty of  Jeremy  Taylor,  and  some  other 
curios.

Tlus  custom  continued  till  the  fifties  of

it.     The  spur  was  worn  on  the  left  heel,  and

In  the  Minute«  of  the  Goldsmithft'  Com-

silver  spoons  witli  '  woodwosee,"  wliioh  had 
been  improi>erly  marked  with  the  "  Uberd's

been  committed  against  the  rights  and

smith "who  liad  affixed  to  his  spoons  the 
leopard *s-head  mark  hienifj'ing  that  they 
had  boon  t<»6ted  at  Goldsmiths'  Hall  and 
found  to  be  of  the  standard  purity  of  silver. 

I  know  of  no  other  instance  of  English- 
made  spoons  tipped  with  a  faun  as  a  nnial, 
and  the  mid-fifteenth  century  is  a  very  early 
date  for  any  fuiial  of  so  elaborate  a  design. 
But  in  the  Eastern  Counties  of  tliat  period 
there  were  many  Dut^.h  silversmitlis,  refugees 
from  the  Low  C/Ountries,  and  in  connexion 
with  these  Coggoshall  hiwoiis  the  name  of 
ono  silversmith,  uiunistakably  Dutch,  is 
mentioned.  Is  it  p^jsnible  that  not  only  the 
decorative  design,  but  the  word  '*  wose " 
itself,  was  of  Dutch  origin  and  introduction

what  appears  to  me  to  bo  proof  I  would  say 
that  I  am  acquainted  both  with  the  argu- 
ments which  depend  upon  the  erroneous 
breaking-up  of  '*  Suoe-rige-ona "  into 
"  Su8en-geona,"  and  with  those  which 
either  spring  from  the  denial  that'*Elge"

m  Auschis.  This  is  a  Gotliic  form,  and  iU 
substitution  by  Ravennas  for  a  West- 
Germanic  one  is  not  without  par*vllel  in 
Italian  documents  of  his  time.  For  instance, 
in  two  letters  of  Pojxt  Boniface  V..  which

wlmtever  origin,  and  it  corresponds  to  Weet 
Saxon  e'* ;  v.  Wright,  '  O.E.  Gramraar,*  1908, 
§194  (1). 

2.  If  everj'thing  went  according  to  tliis 
rule,  we  should  got  a  W.S.  Esc  in  the  Winches- 
ter '  Saxon  Clironicla.'  But  the  name  does 
not  occur  therein  in  tliat  form.  What  we 
do  find  ia  '*  .^ac,"  and  jEsc  would  be  the 
rule-right  W.S.  representative  of  Asci. 
This  personal  name  appears  in  the  *  Ger- 
mania*  of  Tacitus,  §  lii.,  where  we  get 
*' Asci-burgium.  . .  .in  ripa  Hheni  situm." 
But  W.S.  •Asci,  iEsc,  for  Ootliic  Auschis,  O.S. 
Oschis.  is  not  true  tjo  dialect.  What  we 
require  is  an  infected  form  of  *Ea8ci.  namely, 
lesc,  Isc,  or  Ysc.  As  none  of  those  occur, 
we  may  conclude  that  the  W.S.  annalists 
did  not  adhere  to  their  own  dialect,  and  that 
they  borrowed  the  name  of  the  eponynioiis 
ancestor  of  the  OiHcingas  from  another  form 
of  speech. 

3.  This  was  most  likely  to  be  that  of  the 
Jutes  themselves,  and  the  native  name  of 
the  prince  whom  the  Northern- Angle  writer 
Bede  called  "  Oisc  "  nmy  therefore  have  been 
either  Asci  (which  yielded  W.S.  JEsc]  or 
Aschis. 

In  the  *  Saxon  Chronicle '  ^Esc  is  said 
to  have  succeeded  Hengist  in  488,  and  a 
reign  of  24  years  is  assigned  to  him.  TIub 
requires  us  to  date  liis  demise  in  512.  We 
licar  no  more  about  him,  but  in  the  Arthurian 
legend  a  King  Aschis  appears.  Gaimar  tells 
ua  that  Ascliis  suffered  death  for  Arthur's 
sake  there  where  Modred  did  so  much  harm, 
i.e.,  at  Cainlan  ('  Leetorie  dcs  Kngles/  line 
524,  'R.B.  SS.,'  No.  91,  vol.  i."  p.  22). 
Geoffrey  of  Monmouth  calls  A.scliis  "  Aschil- 
lius"  rH.R.B.,'  IX.  xii.,  X.  vi.,  XI.  ii.). 
He  styles  liiin  king  of  the  Dacians ;  like 
Gaimar,  he  enlists  him  among  Arthur's  allies  ; 
and  ho  similarly  records  ms  death  in  the 
battle  with  Modred  at  the  river  Cambula. 
In  this  connexion  *'  Daci  *'  equals  Danes, 
and  Gaimar  knew  of  a  brother  of  Aschis 
named  Odulf  who  also  was  king  of  tliat 
people.  As  we  get  the  Teutonic  form 
*  Aschis "  in  uusopliisticated  Arthurian 
legend,  it  would  seem  that  the  Britons  took 
oi-er  Uie  uative  name  of  the  v^nce  of  the 


Jutes  just  as  the  West  Saxons  did.     Now 
Welsh  annalists  datt*  the  battle  of  Camlan 
and  the  death  of  Arthur  twenty -two  year* 
after    the   battle     at     ''Mens    Badonicus," 
aud  Bede  dated  Ihe  latter  event  in  A.t>.  492. 
Consequently  those  who  follow  Bede's  chron- 
ology, as  the   W.S.   annalists   certainly  did 
with  respect   to   the  Jutiih   invasion,  most 
date  Camlan,  and  the  death  of  both  Artliiir 
and  his  ally  Ascliis,  in  a.d.  ol4. 

This  approximation  in  dating  the  death  oi 
JEbc  and  Aschis  (512,  514),  taken  togeilurf 
%^ith  tlie  explanation  given  of  the  phonulo^' 
cal  differences  in  their  names,  uarrants  uiy 
asserting  that  the  "  Auseliis  **  of  Rhvciium. 
the  "  Disc "  of  the  Venerable  Bede,  the 
**  .^Esc "  of  the  W.S.  annalista,  aud  tJv 
"  Aschis  "  of  Arthurian  legend  aie  one  and 
the  same  prince,  and  juAtifiea  the  identi£c»- 
tion  made  above  of  *'  Aschis  *'  as  tlie  forra 
wliich  tliat  prince's  name  took  in  liis  n»ii« 
dialect,  wliich  was,  of  course,  that  of  the 
Jutes.  Consequently,  as  at',  6,  and  a  rvspond 
to  one  anotiier  in  tliis  name  in  Gotliic. 
Northern  Anglian,  and  Jutish  respectively, 
it  is  obvious  that  the  forms  gau-,  go,^  uid 
gn  are  postulated  in  the  sckme  three  diiUt>et< 
wlien  *  land  *'  or  regio  was  to  l>e  indicated 
by  this  vocable.  In  short  a  Juti.'^h  **  Ascliis," 
for  Gothic  '*  Auschis,"  requires  a  Jutisb  g^

a  quarto  edition  of  the  Bible  was  published, 
^  while  in  1G13  editions  both  iu  folio  and  quarto 
appeared.  A\l  these  editions  differ  in  uiinor 
points.  It  almost  seems,  indeed,  as  if  every 
separate  copy  had  errors  of  its  own  to 
answer  for.  Perhaps  the  so-called  **  Printer's 
Bible  *'  may  be  merely  an  individual  copy. 
In  confirmation  of  the  book's  "eluaiveneas," 
to  which  Mr.  Peddie  refers,  it  may  be  stated 
that  Dr.  Brewer  is  almost  the  only  writer 
on  bibliograpliical  subjects  who  mentions 
the  '*  Printer's  Bible."  He  gives  no  date 
of  publication,  neither  doeci  he  name  the 
publisher  who  issued  it.  Such  authorities 
on  Bible  bibliography  as  Home,  Lowndes, 
Darling,  Sclater,  Archdeacon  Cotton,  and 
Dore  make  no  mention  of  it,  having  appar- 
ently never  seen  it.  Has  Mr.  Peddib

'  St.  James's  Chronicle  *  (11  S.  ii.  409).— 
This  was  begun  in  17fiO  by  Henry  Baldwin 
as  a  thrice-a-we<*k  evening  paper.  According 
to  Grant,  it  waa  the  direct  successor  of  TJie 
London  Postman,  foimded  in  1724,  and  for 
many  years  provided  a  handsoi  no  profit . 
Origmally  AVhig.  it  became  Tory,  but 
changed  again  several  times  in  its  later 
years.  It«  most  celebrated  editors  were 
Stanley  Lees  Giffard  and  Stephen  Jones, 
the  compiler  of  *  The  Spirit  of  the  Public 
Journals  *  and  tlie  four-volume  edition  of 
'  Baker's  Biographia  Pramatica.* 

The  Si.  James's  Chronicle  absorbed  several 
other  journals  before  finally  merging  into 
The  PresSj  which  I  believo  succumbed  in 
1846.  Its  office  for  many  years  was  at 
108,  Fleet  Street,  and  some  traces  of  this 
eighteenth-centui-y  printing  establislunent 
remained  until  1906.

"  Sheeky."  Nickname  fob  a  Jew  (US-

Barrere  and  Leland^s  '  Dictionary-  of  Slang  * 
as  a  Yiddish  and  popular  term,  commonly 
apphed  to  a  Jew  by  Genti!e«.  Its  origin  is

•'  SCALTHKEN  *'  :      AN    IRISH    DrINK    (11    S. 

ii.  426). — Having  myself  parttiken  of  this 
potent  beverage,  I  am  able  to  sj^eak  as  to 
Its  ingredients.  Some  sixty  years  ago,  tlu-ee 
young  lads  were  on  a  pedestrian  tour  in 
the  West  of  Ireland.  They  had  many 
adventures,  two  of  the  party  l>eing  artist*, 
another  tlio  scribe  of  the  tour.  One  day 
they  had  a  fatiguing  tramp  of  thirty  Irish 
miles  {42  English),  and  did  not  reach  their 
destination  till  darkness  h*id  fallen.  They 
had  enlivened  the  long  and  almost  traeklesB 
nioimtain  journey  by  singing,  marching  to 
stirring  airs.  The  result  was  tliat  towards 
evening  the  best  vocalist  had  completely 
lost  his  voice,  and  could  scarcely  wliispor. 
The  wayside  farm-liouae  where  they  passed 
the  niglit  was  owned  by  a  kind-heartea  lady. 
who,  taking  comi^assion  on  the  voiceless 
youth,  fiugsroated  a  jug  of  Skolkheen,  as  she 
named  it,  out  made  the  ^-ictira  promise  to 
take  every  drop  of  what  she  would  bring. 
All  tliree  were  given  a  bed  of  clean,  home- 
made linen  and  blankets,  spread  on  fresh 
Htraw  on  the  threshing-floor  of  the  spacious 
bam.  Sirs.  Daly,  their  kind  host^-jw,  came  as 
soon  as  all  were  under  the  blankets,  produc- 
ing a  (.juari  jug  of  steaming,  odorous  liquid. 
The  buflterer,  as  promi.sed,  drank  it  off,  not 
without  assistance  from  the  lady,  who  held 
the  jug  to  his  mouth  till  it  was  emptied. 
This  was  about  10  P.M.  The  patient  did 
not  awake  till  noon  next  day  ;  his  two 
companions  were  seated  at  each  side  of  his 


bed.    their    k  nap-sacks    strapjx^d    on    t  heir 
shoulders.     1  hey  had  been  alarmed  leal  b# 
should  never  awake.     But  no  harm  resulted ; 
the  youth  had  completely  recovered  his  voiw. 
Mrs.  Daly  gax-^e  the  recif>e  for  her  remedy— 
a  big  cupful  of  whisky,  a  <juarter  of  a  p<rtmd 
of  butter  without  salt,  six   fresh  eggs.  U* 
jug   being  filled   up  wnth   new   milk,   boiled 
on  the  tire,  and  stirred  all  the  tin>e.     So  hflt 
is  the  actual  composition  of  the  wonderful 
bt*verago.     The   imtient's  experience  of  (t* 
treatment  n'as   tnat   before  naif   wa8  down 
liis  throat  he  felt  hopelessly  drunk,  for  Ibr 
whisky   was  poteen^  pure   home-made  spoil 
that  never  paid  duty.  John  Wabd.

Chttia  on  Autographa.  By  A.  M.  Rroodlcy.  With 
one  hundred  Riid  thirty-five  illustrationa. 
(Fisher  Vnwin.) 

AuToon.\rHH  of  &tl  iLinds  are  a  fascinatiag  subject' 
on  which,  oddly  eDou^,  Httte  has  been  written- 
We  wolcome  Mr.  Ilroadley's  book  a«  ikt  onco 
tOBtmctire  in  a  practical  way  and  distinctly 
entertAining.  The  iUusirationa  ahmc  give  us  on 
many  a  popo  somcihinfc  of  interest  to  linger  ovrr. 
for  they  reproduce  letters  by  a  host  of  fatuous  uien 
with  characteristic  touehws.  Kometiuics  the 
author  is  nrtixt  too.  as  in  the  delightful  illumtrnted 
letters  of  Sir  Frank  I»ckwood.  Wu  And  C'ohden 
emphfutizing  the  su|)(>riority  of  Free  Trade  to 
Pmtection  in  two  loaves  of  different  siziy*,  and 
Thackeray  ornauientin^  with  his  elegant  ju-n. 
But  L'Vi'U  where  there  is  no  picture  the  autugraph 
gives  a  revelation  of  the  training,  education,  apti- 
tudes, and  habita  of  tJie  writer  which  is  arresting 
to  any  one  who  goes  beneath  the  .lurface. 

Sir.  Broftdley  has  quuted  st^uue  iuteresting 
letters  and  comment«  fruni  well-kuo^vii  writers. 
In  particular,  ho  notes  Stevenson's  gratitude  to 
an  unusually  considerate  B«>ek('r  after  his  auto* 
graph.  Knim  a  l>fM>lc  beloved  by  the  ISteven- 
Honian,  '  The  Wrong  Box,'  we  quote  a  passage 
which  seems  to  the  point ; — 

"  Nothing  can  bo  more  Interesting  than  the 
study  of  signatures,  written  (as  thoy  are)  before 
meaU  and  nfter,  dxiring  indigestion  and  intoxica* 
tion  :  written  when  the  signer  is  trembling 
for  the  life  of  his  child,  or  has  come  from  winning 
the  Derby,  in  his  lawyer's  oflQce,  or  under  the 
bright  eyes  of  hia  aweetheart.  To  the  vulgar, 
these  seem  never  the  same  ;  but  to  the  expert, 
the  bank  clerk,  or  the  lithographer,  they  are 
constant  quantitiee,  and  aa  reeognisable  as  the 
North  Star  to  the  night  watch  on  deck." 

A  man's  signature  ought  to  be  the  clean-^t 
part  tif  his  letter,  but,  alas  !  often  it  is  not. 
We  had  reeently  a  letter  from  a  per84>n  well 
known  in  the  book-world,  with  a  signature  which 
we  cut  ofiF  from  the  rest  of  the  document,  and  no 
aingle  person  to  whom  wc  have  shown  it  has  yet 
been  able  to  make  it  out.  This  practice  of  cutting 
off  signatures  is  strongly  deprecated  by  Mr. 
Broadley.  who  gives  abundant  advice  of  a  clear 
and  practical  sort  to  the  collector.  One  of  the 
flnt  things  he  ought  to  do  la  to  get  knowledge  of 
the  admirable  series  of  facsimiles  sold  at  the 
British  Museum,  which  will  show  him  the  writing 
of  many  famous  men.  The  swindler  flourishi^  in 
this  trade  as  in  others,  and  we  are  preaented  with 
illustrations  of  hia  skill  in  a  Thackeray  forgery. 

On  the  matter  of  bargains  and  prices  Air- 
Broadley  i-t  very  instructive,  and  at  the  end  of  the 
book  will  be  found  a  whole  conspectus  of  values 
In  the  record  of  the  Louia  J.  Haber  Sale  in  America. 
Bargains  arc  not  so  hard  to  come  bv  as  might  be 
imagined,  and  we  are  told  that  the  autograph 
is  oft^n  much  cheaper  in  a  foreign  country  than 
in  the  land  of  its  urigin.  Thua  the  author  made 
some  remarkable  finds  in  France.  Prices  depend 
on  various  circumstances,  sonte  of  them  nnt 
altogether  pleasant,  for  the  sudden  dispersal  of 
nn  author'ff  letter*  snd  MSS.  generally  means 
that  hia  Jegat-ecs  are  in  want  ot  uiouey,  and  give 


t4»  the  world  what  they  might  prefer  to  regard  as 
private  treasures.  There  is  the  "  autograph 
llend,"  too,  whose  machinations  wonii  a  line  it 
two  out  of  the  moat  reluctant  of  writers.  Mr. 
Broadley  bean  amuaing  tL«timony  to  hu  mgenuitr. 

Many  pages  of  the  book  i<fTer  adniimblt*  ninttn 
for  quotation,  but  we  confine  uurneivoH  tu  thii 
little  piece  of  reflection  from  the  late  Kin(

A  model  l>oy,  indeed.  Not  so  rigorous,  we  art 
sure,  was  the  education  of  that  grandson  ■>(

Dr.  T.  N.  Bbushfikld. — We  regret  to  announce 

the  deatb.  at  the  ago  of  81.  of  Dr.  T.  N.  Brush- 

field,  F.S.A.,  which  took  place  at  his  residence 

The      Cliff,     Budleigb     Snltertim,     on     Monday, 

28    November,    after    a    short    illness.      He    was 

bom  on  10  December.   1828.  and  began  his  pro- 

rfessional  career  as  a  pupil  of  the  London  Hospital, 

.of    which    he    wtis    subsequently    house    surgeon, 

becoming    M.U.C.S.    Kng.    in    1850,    and    taking 

the  M.D.   degree  ut  St.    Andretvs   ia    1802.      Dr. 

Brushfleld    was    medical   superintendent    of    the

Surrey,  for  nearly  10  years-      He  retired  from  tlie 

llatter  in  1882,  mainly  owing  to  the  effects  of  an 

injury'   received   from   a  patient,   the  committee 

gnuiting  him  a  handsome  pension  upon  his  retirc-

Twenty-eigbt  years  ago  he  took  up  his  rcaidcnce

Guaadiatt. — -'  If,  u  has  been  well  said,  the  history  of  a  nation  is  to  be  read  most  satisfactorily  to  the 
lives  of  its  greatest  men,  then  this  great  Dictionary  is  the  best  of  histories.  It  would  1>e  difticult  to  ruuneanr 
considerable  Englishman  whose  name  does  not  appear  in  its  pages.  It  is  the  onlv  woik  of  its  kind  ud 
«cope  extant.  No  student  of  any  man  or  any  period  can  overlook  it.  The  detailed  list  of  authorities  ue 
alone  of  priceless  vahie.'* 

COMPLETION    OF    THE    RE-ISSUE 

OF    THE 

Dictionary    of   National 
Biography. 

Edited     by     LESLIE     STEPHEN     and     SIDNEY     LEE. 


Trtttk. — "To  praise  '  The  Dictionar)'  of  National  Biography'  now  seems  superfluous.  lis  prododiM 
was  an  enterprise  ot  national  importance,  and  la  publishers  are  rendering  what  is  really  a  public  service  by 
making  it  accessible  in  a  cheaper  and  handier  form.  * 

At    ONE-THIRD   the    Price,   and 
ONE-THIRD   the  Size  of  the  original   Work. 

The  Dictionary  contains  30,378  separate  Articles,  in  30,500  Pages^  all,  whether  short  of 
long,  prepared  by  Specialists  of  literary  experience  in  very  varied  branches  of  knouledt-e.  The 
exhaustive  character  of  the  work  may  be  judged  from  the  fact  that  it  contains  Biographies  of  199 
persons  bearing  the  surname  Smith  (Smith,  Smyth,  or  Smythe),  and  of  135  persons  bearing  tte 
surname  Jones.  Stewart  (Steuart,  Steward,  Stewart,  or  Stuart)  is  the  title  of  113  Memoini 
Hamilton  of  107  Memoirs;  Brown  (Broun,  Brown,  or  Browne)  of  114  ;  Clark  (Clarke,  Qeft,  of 
Gierke)  of  106  ;  Moore  (Moor,  Moore,  or  More)  of  89;  Taylor  (or  Taylerj  of  86;  I>oug1as  (* 
Douglass)  of  85  ;  Scott  (or  Scot)  of  83  ;  Grey  (or  Gray)  of  81  ;  Williams  of  81  ;  Gordon  offc; 
Wilson  (or  Willson)  of  80  ;  Thompson  (or  Thomson,  Tomson,  and  Tompson)  of  79  ;  Campbdlo* 
76 ;  Murray  of  72  ;  Davies  (or  Davis)  of  73  ;  Howard  of  67  ;  and  Robinson  of  65.  There  »« 
407  names  beginning  with  the  prefix  Mac-  ;  222  names  beginnmg  with  the  prefix  O* ;  and  i37 
beginning  with  the  prefix  Fiti-.

fully untiJ,  happeniniK  to  i>rint  something 
that  did  not  please  feir  Edward  I>awrence 
of  St.  Ives,  they  were  lieavily  fined,  and 
soon  afterwtirds  loft  the  to«-n.  I  have  not, 
however,  been  able  to  confirm  this,  although 
I  know  that  Raikes  was  more  than  once 
fine<l ;  but  this  may  explain  their  reason  for 
going  to  a  new  centre. 

The  Reading  Mercury,  of  which  a  copy, 
of  No.  1  is  in  the  Bodleian  Library,  was  also 
modelled  on  the  St.  Itvs  Mercury.

It  is  u  smftll  12-page  4to  paper,  pp.  61-72  ; 
the  first  page  given  up  to  the  title,  and  the 
last  to  advertisenieiits.  Eacli  page  measures 
about  0  in.  by  8J  in.  The  asterisks  above 
mark  wlicre  tliore  are  woodcuts.  The  first 
represents  a  postboy  ;  the  second,  Britannia  ; 
and  tite  third.  Fame,  with  an  open  scrolU 
inscribed  MOanJTATE  \noET.  The  third  was 
probably  used  for  No.  I.  of  the  Northampton 
Mercury,  as  the  figures  of  Fame  are  precisely 
the  same,  and  No,  Il.liad  a  new  block. 

It  will  Ix-  noticed  that  William  Dicey's 
is  the  only  name  in  the  imprint.  The  date 
is  1719,  and  it  is  No.  G.  It  was  thought 
before  that  Kaikes  &  Dicey  printed  it,  as 
their  names  appear  in  the  Northampton 
Mercury. 

There  were  two  earlier  newspapers  printed 
at  St.  Ives  :  the  St.  Ives  PoH,  18  Morcli. 
1716.  to  10  June.  1718»  bv  J.  Fisher;  and 
the  St.  Iv€8  Post-Boy,  No.  il.,  23  June,  1718, 
to  6  February',  1719.  by  K.  Kaikes.  It 
looks  as  if  Raikes  succeeded  Fisher,  for  the 
f5t.  Ives  Post  ceased  on  16  June,  and  the 
St.  Ives  Post -Boy  appeared  on  23  Jime.  but 
it  was  No.  II.  It  may  be  tliat  Dicey  fol- 
lowed Raikes,  for  the  last  known  date  of  the 
St.  Ives  Post-Boy  is  6  February,  1719.  and 
the  St.  Ives  Mercury  is  dated  16  Novemljer, 
1719,  and  is  No,  0.  Haikes's  pa]>er  is  dat*»d 
from  "  Water  hane.  near  the  Bridge"  ; 
and  Dicey's  *'  near  the  Bridge." 

This  copy  of  the  St.  Ii*es  Mercury  is  ex- 
tremely interesting,  as  it  is  tlie  exact  model 
and  forerunner  of  the  Northampton  Mertury 
of  2  May.  1720,  and  of  the  Gloucester  Journal 
by  RaikcH,  9  April,  1722.  and  these  two 
papers  are  still  being  pul)lished.  with  lui* 
rtroken  records  of  nearly  200  years,  St.  Ives 
must  be  included  amongst  ttto  first  ten 
provincial  towns  to  produce  a  newspaper.

MANOR  OF  NEYTE  CXJU   EYBURY. 

Dtmnfo  the  last  two  years  London  topo- 
graphy has  not  cca-sod  to  expand.  I  wrote 
about  Neytc,  Eybury,  and  Hyde  in  *  N.  &  Q/ 
between  October.  1908.  and  Januar>',  1909 
(see  10  S,  X.  321.  461  ;  xi.  221,  and  have  since 
discovtTpd  that  my  conclusion  was  not 
final  regarding  Neyt«.  That  conchision  was 
submitted  in  January  last  to  the  Societ;^  of 
Antiquaries,  when  discussion  of  the  subject 
led  to  a  modification,  whicJi  is  expressed  in 
a  paper  entitled  'The  Manor  of  Eia,  or  Eye, 
next  Westminster,'  now  printed  in  Archceo- 
logia,  Tiie  ultimate  conclusion  I  feel  bound 
to  comiiiufiicate  to  *N.  &  Q.' 


A  dif!ioiUty  liad  long  lain  in  the  fact  tluit. 
whereas  there  was  plentiful  mention  of  the 
Manor  of  Neyte,  no  one  was  able  to  local? 
it.  The  word  "  manor  "  was  taken  in  the 
usual  sense  as  an  ext^'nt  of  land,  with 
tenants,  manor  house,  and  manorial  court. 
The  site  of  the  manor  house,  which  had 
passed  out  of  knowledge,  had  be<*n  dLs- 
covered  ;  but  no  land  could  l>e  found  beyond 
the  precincts  of  the  house.  On  the  coutran-. 
all  tlie  land  about  it  was  shown  to  be  in  thft 
Manor  of  Eybury  (  =  Eia,  or  Eye  next  West- 
minster) ;  for  in  a  lease  of  Eybury  the  ven* 
frelds  close  up  to  the  manor  hoii*<e,  viz . 
*•  The  Twenty  Acres  '*  and  "  The  Abbot  * 
Meadow,"  wliich  were  always  retained  by  tlw* 
Abbot,  are  shown  to  be  parcels  of  Eybury. 
Moreover,  as  tending  to  show  that  Xevt*  vest 
landless,  by  a  clause  in  Uiis  lease  of  Eybury 
certain  of  its  produce  was  to  be  deU\*errd 
**  into  the  Manor  of  Ne>te,"  meamng 
neoo8.<iarily  the  precinota  of  the  manor 
house. 

In  the  oaao  just  cited  it  is  clear  that  tb« 
word  **  manor  '  meant  manor  houa»  only, 
the  mansion,  or  as  in  French  manoir,  and  ss 
the  word  was  used  by  John  of  Gaunt  when 
he  prayed  the  Abbot  to  lend  liini  hia  "  manoir 
del  Neyt."  This  has  been  my  contention; 
and,  if  such  was  the  meaning  in  one  cue* 
why  not  in  otltera,  it  being  always  r%*nKiDi- 
bered  that  no  extent  of  land  could  be  found 
for  Neyt©  T  Surely  my  arguiiumt 
reasonable. 

The  restricted  meaning,  however, 
to  be  generally  unacceptable  to  tho  au< 
to  wliich  it  was  submitted  ;  it  was  said 
an  English  "manor"  alwauo  implied  laiul 
tenants,  and  a  manorial  court.  So  further 
search  for  e\'idence  was  made  at  the  Publie 
Record  Office,  and  the  result  has  be«o  a 
wholly  unforeseen  solution  of  the  quMlina- 
Tho  '*  Ministers*  Accounts "  havy>  b««n 
quoted  by  mo  as  showing  that  in  1390  thr 
Manor  of  Noyte  was  a  st-ook-farm  or  depot 
for  the  Kings  cattle;  and  if  so.  tlieremuvt 
have  been  grazing  land,  cither  in  Neyl«  or 
Eybury,  though  not  mentioned.  In  ihi» 
there  was  a  significance  which  at  the  tune 
did  not  strike  me.  Further  search  in  th««c 
accotmts  has,  however,  re^*eRled  tliat  Ibc 
stock-farm  is  indifferently  termed  the 
"  Manor  of  La  Noyte,'*  the  **  Manor  of  U 
Neytc  juxta  Westminster."  and  tdao  the 
"Manor  of  La  Neyte  with  Eybury"  V'dt 
La  Ni»yt«  cmn  Eybury  ").  Also  it  has  oeea 
discovered  tlmt  there  was  but  one  court, 
which  is  called  "  the  Court  of  Eyhur^f  *'  ;  aod 
the  retiims  of  rent^  and  works  i '  )tat

was  tile  one  manor    (Minieters*    Accounts, 
Bundle  919.  No8.  12-24.  RolU  12-20). 

Kvidenoe  of  the  same  nature  ia  also  found 

in  a  Cliancery  Inquisition  post  Mortem  of 

17    Edw.    II.    (No.    43),    wherein     there    is 

mention  of  land  in  Eye  held  of  the  King  of 

his  Manor  of  La  Ney"t«  and  Eghebury  (*i>), 

ith  suit  at  Eghebury  Coiirt. 

The     conclusion  —  probably     ultimato  — 

:refore  i»  that  Neyte  or  La  Nevt« — in  it« 

it  sense  the  name  of  the  AbboOs  seat,  his 

lanor  house,  where  liis  court  waa  held  and 

is  authority  issued — was  frequently,  though 

always,  prefixed  to  the  original  namo  of 

one  great  manor  Eyo  or  Eybury.     Thus 

one    manor    is    indifferently  mot  with 

Eybury,   Neyto,  or  Neyte  cum  Eyburj'. 

[yde,  part  of  the  great  manor,  is  assumed  to 

liave  had  the  position  of  a  sub-manor  ;    but 

_|urther  information  respecting  it   from  the 

kbbey  muniments  is  awaited. 

i&  hoped  that  this  solution  of  a  long- 

'iiig  difficulty  wiU  be  accepted  as  satis- 

ry,  and  as  ending  the  fruitless  search  for 

ituict  manor  of  Neyte  apart  from  Eybury.

I  was  walking  recently  in  the  vicinity  of 
Prince  Schwarzenberg's  castle  Hhiboka 
(Frauenberg),  near  Budejovico  (Bndweis), 
my  companion,  a  local  jirofeaftor,  exclaimed 
he  tripi»ed  over  a  stone  :  "  So,  a  musician 
turiod  here."  This  happened  frequently

!  GATE. — Against  the  north  wail  of  the  late 
eighteentli-centur>-  church  of  St.  Botolph. 
Alderagate,  is  a  tablet,  saved  from  the 
pre\*iou9  building  on  the  same  site.  It  is 
to  the  memory  of  John  Coeton,  Cliief  Regis- 
trar of  the  See  of  Canterbury,  with  Jiis  wif** 
and  daughter,  who  died  respectively  in  1614, 
1G37,  and  1621  ;  and  has  on  it  the  following 
pretty  Latin  lines,  wliich  seem  to  haA'e 
escajsed  the  notice  of  Hatton,  Strype, 
Weever,  and  others  : — 

Hie  eonjiiiicta  bug  recabat  Francieca  marito, 
Kt  oinis  e8t  uiuih,  quic  fuit  una  caro. 

Hue  ciiieres  coufeiie  suos  soror  Anna  jubebat ;

Tiie  lines  were  composed,  and  the  monument 
provided,  by  a  8ur\-iving  son,  as  we  learn 
from  the  words  below  :  "  Filius  et  frat«r 
unicus  Simon  Coston  composuit  posuit." 
The  following  traiLslation  has,  1  believe,  never 
appeared  in  print : — 

Here  lies  Franoisca  with  her  husband  joined, 
And  now  what  wa«  one  llesh  one  dust  we  Hud.

to  offer   at   present  as  many   dif^culties  as

water-walker,     however,     seems     to     have 

'  accomplished  Ids  feat,  but  not  exactly'  in  the

Prof.  Miller,  according  to  The  Globe  of

Atlantic  Ocean  on  foot : — 

"  Ue  used  a  pair  of  special  walking  shoes,  which 
each  meaaured  flyc  feet  in  Icn^h.  They  resembled 
miniataro  canoes  in  design,  -n-ith  a  small  orifice  in

furnished  with  corru§:ated  aoles.  FuU  of  conft-

realized  the  folly  of  his  idea.  lie  wan  unable

Court. — Can  your  readers  give  me  any 
clue  to  the  parentage  of  Richard  Coojie  of 
Fulham.  who  died  there,  23  December, 
1765,  aged  77,  and  was  buried  at  Camber- 
woll.  He  married  first  Mary,  niece  of  the 
Rov.  Benjamin  Merriman  of  Xewbury, 
Berks,  by  whom  ho  had  foiu:  or  five  children  ; 
secondly,  Elixabeth,  by  whom  he  had  five 
children.  Ho  lived  at  Peckliam,  then  at 
Wasing  House  near  Reading,  then  at  Ful- 
ham ;  and  ho  had  a  house  in  Oxford  Court. 
London.  He  was  a  director  of  the  South  Sea 
Company,  1732 ;  Master  of  the  Salters' 
Company,  1734  ;  and  first  chaiinmn  of  the 
London  Hospital.  In  17-18  he  bought 
property  in  St.  Mary*8.  WTiitecImijel.  He 
was  a  friend  of  George  Heathcote,  M.P. 
for  Southwark.  There  is  a  memorial  ring 
to  Judith  Coope,  who  died  26  March.  1728, 
aged  66.  She  was  probably  his  mother  or 
maiden  aunt. 

He  boie  the  crest  and  arms  granted  by 
Henry  Vll.  to  AVilUam  Coope  or  Cope, 
cofferer  of  the  Royal  Household.  The  said 
William,  and  many  of  his  descendants  until 
about  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century, 
spelt  their  names  indifferently  Coope  and 
Cope. 

The  lale  Sir  William  H.  Cope,  Bt.,  who 
took  a  great  interest  iu  liis  family  history, 
believed  that  our  families  were  once  identical ; 
but  the  parentage  of  Richard  Coope  is 
required  m  order  to  establish  the  con- 
nexion. His  will  id  at  Somerset  House,  but 
I  can  find  no  other  clue  to  his  parentage 
there.

MAIDS  OF  TAVNTON 
AND  MONMOUTH'S    REBELLION. 

(H  S.  u.  408.) 

The  names  of  thirt«»n  of  tlie  twenty -seven 
achoolgirlfi  known  as  the  Maids  of  Taimlon 
are  found  endorsed  on  the  back  of  a  letter 
written  by  Cliristophor,  Duke  of  'Albe- 
marle, to  Lord  Sunaerland  (B.M.  Harleian 
7006). 

The  Duke  of  Albemarle  was  head  of  the 
Koyaliflt  troops  in  June,  1685.  and  was 
stationed  seven  inilt-s  west  of  Taunton  to 
watoh  Monmouth's  uiovementa.

To  tills  list  I  may  add  a  few  notes. 

The  Boveta  wore  a  leading  family  in 
Weet  SouitTset  in  the  seventeenth  and 
pjghteenth  centuries,  and  suffered  severely 
for  Monmouth's  cause.  Philip  Bovet  was 
one  of  the  thr«*e  men  hanged  by  Joffreys's 
order  outaido  "The  Whitv  Hart'*  at  Wei - 
linf^on ;  and  besides  Philip,  tlicre  occur 
in  the  Gaol  Delivery  KoIIs  Thoniaa  Edward, 
KiohGU-d,  and  John  Bovet.     For  furtljer  in-

The  Blakes  were  daughters  of  MalacLi 
Blake  of  Blacdon,  about  four  tniles  from 
Taunton.  Malachi  Blake  was  closely  rp*

Malachi  was  an  eminent  Diaeenting  niinMt*r. 
His  will  in  MS.  is  before  mc,  but  is  too  loog

They  were  the  notes  of  a  parson  named 
Axe  who  was  contemporary  witli  the 
Rebellion.  See  Wooh-yth  s  '  Life  of  Jeffreys/ 
p.  216,  for  a  statement  as  to  the  sums 
wliich  were  exacted  from  the  ])ureiitD  of  tlie 
Maids  of  Taunton  as  douceurs  ;  also  Fea'e 
*  ICing  Monmouth/  p.  393. 

Theotlier  "Maids"  were  believed  to  be  the 
pupils  of  Miss  Muscrovo,  a  schoolmistress  of 
Taunton.  In  the  Proclamation  of  James  II. 
issued  10  March.  Ifl85/<i.  granting  a  froo 
pardon,  he  excepted  many  persona,  among 
whom  were  named  forty-one  ladies,  and 
hj?Ading  the  list  is  *'  Mrs.  Musgrovc,  scliool- 
miatrfiss."  Then  follow  tliose  whose  names 
are  given  above,  together  with  Sarah  Wye,

I  believe  that  this  ILst  and  the  names  in 
Harleian  7006  represent  all  those  who  are 
known  as"  Mtuds  of  Taunton  **nndwho  were 
piipils  of  Miss  l$lake  and  Miss  Musgrove.

Mary  Bloke  of  Taunton  died  at  Dorchester 
Gaol  of  fjmallpox.  and  was  biwied  25  Novem-

printed  catalogue  of  the  ballads  in  the 
possession  of  Frederic  Ouvtv  (compiled  by 
T.  W.  Newton,  London,  1877).  It  passed 
from  that  collection  into  the  possession  of 
the  present  uA^iier,  and  ia  described  in  the 
catalogue  of  Ixird  Crawford's  ballads  (p.  236),

NOTES  AND  QUERIES.      iii  s.  il  or^  it.  wio. 


Inscrtptiovs  tn  Crrv  OHimcffES  an'd 
C'Hinicirv-ABDs  (US.  ii.  38ft,  463).— I  should 
like  to  Htate  that  Ma.  McMukbay^s  remarks 
rolativB  to  my  work  {utUc,  p.  453)  are  quite 
correct.  The  work,  liowever,  comprises  a 
fair  number  of  the  pftvirnental  inscriptions 
formerly  within  the  cliurches  ;  for  in  several 
ca^es  many  of  these  inscriptions  Imve  within 
tlio  last  forty  years  or  bo  been  removed  to  the 
exterior,  and  remain  there  still,  exposed  in 
many  instances  to  destructive  agencies  that 
in  a  few  more  years  will  render  many  of  the 
inscriptions  illegible.  It  will  bo  recognixcd 
by  all  untiquarifj*  tliat  the  ehurcliyard 
inscriptions  exemplified  a  great  need  of 
transcript — far  more  than  those  in  the 
churches.  Very  few  of  the  latter  are  be- 
coming less  legible,  but  the  former  arc 
rapidly  disappearing.  T  have  computed 
that  not  more  t  han  two-thirds  of  my 
transcripts  made  twelve  years  ago  could  be 
made  now. 

Moreover,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
in  very  many  cases  the  inscriptions  inwide 
churcl-ies  have  been  copied  and  published 
within  the  last  fifty  or  sixty  years.  For 
instance,  a  few  years  ago,  I  printed  at  my 
private  press  in  book-form  full  transcripts 
of  all  those  in  St.  George's,  Botolph  Lane 
(since  destroyed),  with  a  plan.  Mr.  Crisp 
did  likewise  with  St.  OlaWs,  Old  Jewry 
(also  since  destroyed),  some  twenty-two  years 
ago.  Cox*s  *  St.  Helen's,  Bishopsgate,' 
Dr.  Kinn's  '  Holy  Trinity,  Minories,*  MiJ- 
boum's  '  St.  Mildred,'  and  Wilswn's  '  St. 
Lawrence  Pountney  *  comprise  the  internal 
inscriptions  at  the  respective  churches  ;  and 
Deputy  UTiite's  '  Walbrook  Word  '  contains 
those  at  St..  Steplieu's  and  St.  Swithin's. 
No  doubt  there  are  other  modern  works 
comprising  transcripts  of  the  inscriptions 
in  others  of  the  City  churches. 

Xaturally  this  piecemeal  publication 
restrains  workers  at  the  present  time  in  this 
field  ;  for  wlule  there  is  much  original  work 
to  be  done,  they  naturally  feel  that  work 
which  must  overlap  to  a  large  extent  the 
labours  of  others  should  take  second  place. 
For  some  reason,  however,  virtually  none  of 
the  churchyard  inscriptions  in  our  City  had 
been  transcribed  prior  to  my  offort,  and  for 
that  reason  1  felt  it  was  a  work  worthy  of  the 
immense  amount  of  time  needed  to  accom- 
plish it. 

I  may  mention  tliat  I  Jiave  in  MS.  most 
of  the  clmrchyard  inscriptions  in  Clerken- 
well  and  Southwark.  made  some  twelve  or 
fourt-een  years  ago.  P.  C.  Kushex.

seventeen  separate  occasions  between 
27  April,  1836.  and  11  October,  1S55,  m 
friendly  intercourse  with  Macready  (though 
his  name  does  not  appear  in  the  Index  at

The  step  from  tliia  use  of  the  word  "  tene-

ky  when  the  latter  i^rm  originated.     It  mav 
that   in    tho   sevente^'nth   century   uucL 
divided  messuages  were  referred  to  as  tene- 
ment-houses ;     but    it   is    unlikely,    because 
tenement  "  was  then  mainly  a  legal  term, 
hoiose*'  a  domestic  term.     Originally 
tenement "       meant     any       hereditament

>arato     corporeal     hereditament,     e.g.     a

the  latter  sense   were   divided   that   the 
•rii    came    to   signify    a   habitation   alone, 
'spective  of  its   tenure.      It  is    far  more

In  many  old  hotela  in  Germai»y  men 
meet  in  tho  evening  to  have  a  "  Chopin  "  of 
wine  (about  half  a  pint),  and  in  some  of 
them  a  drawer  of  wine  stands  at  a  window 
at  the  end  of  the  room,  and  brings  up  wine 
from  the  cellar  as  ordered.  This  is  surely 
an  old  custom.  Tho  writer  has  often

autliority  of  '*  V'jncent  Hystorjoll  &  other," 
gives  a  street  in  Faloys  as  the  tK^ene,  and 
Arlet  as  tlie  name  of  the  girl,  who  wua  the 
daughter  of  a  skinner,  and  speaks  of  the 
night  following  the  day  on  which  tlie  Duke 
liad  seen  Jjer.  ThcHe  particulars  are  not 
given  by  William  of  Malmesbury.  Also 
Fabyan  says  tliat  the  child,  when  be  fell  to 
tlie  groimd,  filled  iiiri  luinds  with  jwjwder 
of  the  floor,  whereas  William  of  Mabne8bur>- 
snya  '*  with  the  rushes  strewed  upon  the

WH»  named  after  his  great -great-grandfather, 
a  ftvct  omitted  by  Fabyan. 

1  note  these  difTerences  as  showing  that 
Vincent  and  the  other,  alluded  to  by  Fabyan, 
though  they  may  have  seen  William  of 
Malniesbury's  history,  had  otlier  sources  of 
information.  Vet  the  longer  account  given 
by  Fabyan  does  not  contradict  tliat  of 
William  of  Malmcsburj',  excei>ting  as  to 
what  the  child  griis|>ed.  Both  "mention 
Ariel's  dream.

Every  kind  of  work  requires,  presumably, 
its  own  diBtinctive  facial  expreaaion.  A 
man  cutting  a  log  of  wood  will  clinch  liis 
teeth  with  every  blow  of  his  axe.  With 
regard  to  the  iwe  of  RcisRors,  much,  of  course, 
depends  on  whether  or  not  a  jxrson  ia  accus- 
tomed to  use  thorn.  If  not  familiar  with 
their  u»o,  the  muscles  of  the  linnd  holding 
the  sciasora  soon  become  wrarit'd.  so  that  it 
requires  a  strong  effort  of  the  will  t-o  carry 
on  the  wt»rk.  Tliis  exercise  of  the  will  in 
generally  attended  by  a  compression  of  tlio 
lip9  or  a  clinching  of  the  t^eth,  or  sometimes 
by  both  at  once,  corresponding  to  the  forcing 
of  the  scissor-blftdes  together.  Wlien  the 
eut  is  made,  and  the  blades  are  drawn  apart, 
the  compresHed  li}>s  or  cUnctied  teeth  im- 
modiately  separate. 

The  same  principle  may  be  observed  in  the 
<»8e  of  a  man  unskille<l  in  letler-wTiting. 
He  takes  oS  his  coat,  rolls  up  his  shirt- 
sleeves, inclines  his  head  at  an  acute  angle, 
and  allows  his  t-ongue  to  loll  from  the  comer 
of  the  mouth  furthest,  removed  from  tlie 
pen.  The  protruding  tongiin  so*>mB  to  bo 
an  instinctive  effort  to  restore  the  natural 
balance'  disturbed  by  tlie  grasp  uf  the  pen,  and 
is  sigmficant  of  the  exhaustion  produced  by 
the  unwonted  task  of  wTiting. 

Women  as  a  rule  are  more  expert  in  using 
Missors  t  han  men,  and  do  not  generally 
betray  the  same  symptoms  of  stress  and 
strain.  If,  however,  an  unexpected  obstacle 
be  encoimtered,  such  as  a  piece  of  cloth 
toughiv  than  ordinarj*.  or  a  bit  of  string 
entangled  in  the  pajHi^r,  thnn  the  brows  knit. 
the  eyes  flash,  the  lij»  are  corupressed,  the 
t<*eth  locked  together,  and  the  wliole  attitude 
of  the  woman  becomes  expressive  of  a 
deteirmination  to  do  or  die. 

Of  the  three  division*  of  the  human  race 
indicated  in  the  query — men,  women,  and 
tnilors — tho  last,  tailors  to  wit,  are  no  dotibt 
governed  by  tlie  same  impulses  as  ordinary 
nien  and  women.  ScoTus. 

A  lady  of  great  experience  tells  me  tliat 
among  dressmakers  she  has  untired  tliat

A  master  tailor  in  the  neighbourhood  says 
the  same  jihenomenon  is  observable  among 
men  of  his  craft.  Percy  Addleshaw.

delightfully  written,  and,  a**  we  have  'said,  the

Duke  of  Uichmond  and  Gordon  than  to  the  general

The  printing,  binding,  and  producti«>n  of  the 
work  are  worthy  of  the  reputation  of  Mettn. 
Longman,  and  will  commend  the  voluuu.'  to  all 
readeni. 


The  Forinightly  begins  with  an  article  on  'Tlie 
CriaU  and  the  Xation,'  by  Mr.  J.  L.  Garvin,  and 
Mr.  Sydney  f-Iro<  .kfi  follows  with  '  Democracy  and 
the  Criaijs.'  The  Last  Sultan  of  Turkey*  is 
sketcluHl  by  C.  Chr\ssaphidee  and  Kent*  Lara 
from  unpublished  documents.  Abdul  Humid  IK 
is  not  exactly  a  pleaaant  subject;  we  are  told 
that  he  *'  never  indulged  to  excess,"  and  therefore 
had  wonderful  health.  But  he  wa<>  paral>'7ied  by 
tbc  fear  of  being  assassinated,  which  "  inltnenced 
the  greater  number  of  the  abominable  acta,  crimes, 
sacrileges,  that  he  committed."  We  have  pretty 
good  evidence  that  he  indulge<l  himaclf  in  the 
plfasure  of  seeing  men  tortured  while  he  was 
secreted  behind  a  screen.  It  is  of  a  piece  with 
his  other  cruelti^.  such  as  the  nmrder  of  a  child 
of  nix  because  she  seized  bis  r«volv(;r  as  a  play- 
thing *  Mr.  Lewis  31elville  writes  on  the  new 
Life  of  Hearonsfleld,  and  lays  stress  on  b»  cha- 
racteristics AS  a  Jew.  There  is  little  else  that  is 
illuminating  in  the  article,  or  that  t4*lls  us  any- 
thing new.  In  a  mde  to  '  Home  Rule  :  a  Live 
Issue,*  it  is  ixiinted  out  that  The  Fortni/jhUy 
"  opens  its  columns  to  all  reasoned  statements 
on  contri>ver«ial  ifsum."  This  is  well  ;  for  the^ 
perpetAial  iteration  of  the  same  point  of  view 
grown  tedious  to  the  ordinar>'  reader.  Jfr.  M.  H. 
Spielmann  has  a  pap^r  on  "  Tlip  I'osition  of  Fine 
Art  in  the  New  Copyright  Bill.'  which  in  generally 
re-i^orded  aa  saUaCoctory.  Mr.  G.  W.  Forrest 
in   '  The  Marquess  of  Dalhousie  *   discusaies  the 

f»rivato  letters  of  that  statesman  recently  pab- 
ished  with  the  skill  of  an  Anglo-Indian  who 
knows  well  both  India  and  the  art  of  writing. 
Of  the  rcniaining  articles,  we  are  moat  inter«te*l 
in  *  The  Revival  in  Rugby  Fbotball  '  which  fa 
sliown  to  have  taken  place  by  Mr.  K.  H.  D. 
Hewell.  H  is  farts  and  flgnreH  are  the  more 
satisfacturj'  becaus*^  the  Rugby  game  has  a 
record  nf  cleaner  ami  fairer  play  than  the  Amocia- 
tion  code,  which  luu  long  been  degraded  bv  the 
trickery  of  profesaional  players.  Mr.  Oliver 
Onions,  one  of  the  best  of  our  younger  writ**r», 
has  a  clever  short  stor^*.  '  Rooum  '  ;  and  Mr. 
Maurice  Hewlett  a  short  poem  on  *  Tolstoy,' 
whieh  is  (on  ooneiM  In  its  diction  to  be  quite 
■attstaetory. 


She  appears  to  have  be«n  a  very  extravagant 
Wooaaa  and  a  great  gambler  :  but  so  genervms 
■wtm  Charles  to  her  that,  when  she  returned  to 
Bnttany.  she  bought  back  the  old  family  estates 
ot  K^roaiallc  and  MesnouaJes,  and  two  years  later 
she  mirchased  the  Term  du  Choetel  from  the 
tatman  of  the  Due  de  Brisaac.  On  one  occasion 
Cluttlea  gave  her  a  single  jewel  of  the  value  of 
J5,00(W.,  which  he  had  ordered  as  &  present  for  his 
mUt,  becauae  the  Ducbesa expressed  a  liking  fur  it : 
attd  a  patent  waa  iaaaed  granting  her  a  yearly 
r*TiTt*-*  of  HfiOOI.,  to  be  paid  out  of  the  r»-*venuo 
of  aani—  dues  upon  beer,  ale,  and  r>thcr  liquors 
in  BoRland*  IVales,  and  Remirk.  Thi«  grant  was 
«Qbse<|iiently  decreased  to  5,000/.  a  ye^ir  by 
Jamas  II.  Ber  son  waa  treated  in  a  still  more 
Uviah  style,  and  a  grant  was  made  to  the  young 
^Ucc  of  twelvft  pence  for  every  chaldron  of  coal 
Hpiped  from  the  port  of  Newcastle.  This  con- 
Koed  to  hif  descendants  until  1700.  when  tlic 
right  was  purchased  by  the  Lords  of  the  Treasury 
for  an  annuity  of  19,000/.,  henceforth  payable 
out  of  the  Consolidated  Fund  to  the  Duke  and 
him  heirs.  The  Countess  Slarischal  was 
appointed  his  governess,  with  a  KAbiry  of 
^fttOO  livre*  ;  and  afterwards  Ricbar^l  Duke, 
the  poet,  became  his  tuK'C.  We  wonder  what 
\i^  X  *  yt\  George  would  say  to  the  creation  of 
lis  such  aa  those  of  the  Duke  of  St.  Albans, 
kt-  of  Qrsfton.  and  the  Duke  of  Kicbmond 
axK*n  the  Unp«  of  finance  i)ur<U'_'d  by  the  Merry 
Veoarch  !  It  is  entertaining  to  find  the  Duchc^ 
rtf  Portamouth  quarrelling  with  Itarbara  Villjers, 
Ducbe^  of  Cleveland,  regardine  the  precedence  in 
^cation  of  their  respective  sons. 

-Bussell    proves   to  our  satisfaction   that 

of  Portcmouth  was  of  noble  birth  and 

all  the  principal  French  familieA,  including 

«f  Rf.urbon  and    De   Rohan  ;    and    though 

ivagant,   she   seems   to    have    been    a   gentle 

lovable  woman,  and  to  have  endeared  faenelf 

rojral  master  up  to  the  very  day  of  his

HOYAL  CHRISTMASES  AT 

GLOUCESTER. 

Tn  summing  up  the  character  of  William  the 
Conqueror  ofter  his  death  the  '  Anglo- 
Saxon  Chronicle  *  incidentally  htates  that 
"  each  yt.-ar  ho  wore  tkini  crown  thric<.%  na  often  as 
lie  waa  in  England  :  on  t^nstrr  ho  wnre  it  at  Win- 
chester, un  ^^liitsuaiide  nt  \Vestniiu»tcr,  uii 
Ohristmiu  at  Ciloucest^r  :  and  at  the«e  tiiii<»« 
there  were  with  him  all  the  powerful  men  tn^m 
over  all  l<IoKland  :  urchbmhopM  and  biHliopH, 
abbots  and  earU,  thanes  and  kntKhU.'* 

Unfortunately,  only  one  instance  of  his 
keeping  Christmas  at  Olouceflter  ia  recorded 
in  the  'Chronicle,'  viz..  in  the  year  1085: 
but  that  was  a  memorable  occasion,  for  it 
waa  then  that  **  with  his  Council  he  held  his 
Court  there  for  five  days,"  and  "  after  a 
great  meeting  and  deeu  conference  with  his 
Witftn  concerning  thi«  iHiLd,"  its  extent,  how 
it  was  held,  and  hy  whom,  both  at  that  time 
and  in  the  days  of  Edward  the  Confessor, 
he  «ent  hi»  men  over  all  England  into  each 
«hin»  to  make  these  inquiries. 


The  record  of  these  is  the  famous  Domes- 
day Book.  The  **  legati  "  or  coinmissionerH 
must  ha%*e  been  chosen  and  started  on  their 
mission  directly  after  Christmas,  if  their 
work  wafl  brought  to  the  Kin^  at  Winchester 
the  following  Easter  (5  April);  but  this  i» 
almost  incredible. 

There  is  no  record  of  a  royal  charter 
exe<Hited  here  at  this  time  which  would 
have  furnished  us  with  the  names  of  those 
then  and  there  present. 

The  townsfolk  of  Gloucester  must  have 
been  some  months  in  preparing  for  this 
annual  visitation,  whether  the  Kine  came  or 
not.  When  ho  did,  he  and  tlie  royal 
family,  with  the  household  officials  and  his 
guard,  would  be  in  residence  in  the  castle  ; 
the  great  eccletiiastics  would  l>e  found 
room  for  in  the  conventual  buildings  of  the 
Abbey  ;  the  inns  would  be  full  of  guests, 
and  many  others  would  be  billeted  on  the 
inhabitants. 

The  Archbishop  of  York,  the  Bishop  of 
Worcester,  the  Earl  of  Chester,  and  some 
others  had  houses  in  the  town,  as  we  learn 
from  the  Siu'vey. 

The  King  in  state  would  attend  high  mass 
on  Cliristmas  Day  (a  Thiu*sday  that  year) 
in  Abbot  Serlon's  great  but  unfinished 
church  of  St.  Peter,  wluch  was  not,  however, 
consecrated  until  15  July,  1100. 

The  King  would  leave  Gloucester  early 
in  the  new  year  by  the  south  gate,  the 
&.ssembled  peers  and  councillors  tliere 
bidding  liim  "Adieu"  and  then  dispersing. 
He  himself  with  liis  retinue  would  go  on  to 
Berkeley,  where  liis  provost  Roger  would  be 
ready  to  receive  him  ;  then  on  to  the  Bishop 
of  Coutances'  castle  of  Bristol,  then  hunting 
in  Kingswood,  and  «o  Ut  Batli  Abbey.  The 
leisurely  progress  through  t  he  West  was 
according  to  fixed  rules  as  to  place  and 
date,  the  King  staying  and  being  enter- 
tained for  one  uiglit  at  various  ancient 
demesnes  of  the  Crown  during  the  next  three 
months,  api>arently  journeying  through 
Somerset  and  Dorset,  until  he  wa.s  due  at 
Winchester  in  April. 

This  was  the  Conqueror^s  last  Christmas 
in  England. 

It  is  evident  that  William  Hufus,  like  his 
father,  continued  to  keep  Christnias  in  atat-o 
at  Gloucester  as  often  as  he  could  when  in 
England.  It  is  recorded  that  he  did  so  in 
1093  and  in  1099,  wluch^was  the  last  cele- 
bration there. 

Henry  I.  electcd^to  keep  Christmas  at 
Westminster,  and  Gloucost-er.  then  deserttfd

So  the  yearly  royal  itinerary  came  to  an 
end»  and,  confined  as  it  wa8  within  the

had  existed  from  tlie  days  of  tlie  Heptarcliy.

MOVING  PICTURES  TO  CTXEMATO-

An  account  of  the  most  important  d^vJM^ 
which  have  become  prominent  in  the  world 
of  entertainment  since  the  movini?-picW*

(set  ante^  ]>n,  403.  456)  may  at  this  sMaoo 
of  the  year  be  of  interest. 

At  the  outset  it  is  well  to  obfwrve  thiH 
spectral  pictures,  or  roOectiona  of  moving 
objects,  similar  to  those  of  the  camera  or 
the  magic  lantern,  were  deacrilxKl  in  the

1679  M.  Villotte  liad  introduced  a  large 
mirror  which  projecU'd  imageR  of  objects 
in  the  air.  It  m  ui>on  record  that  a 
pliaiitAsiiiagoric  apparition  wtiich  dated 
nbotit  th*'  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century 
save  the  Hpjjearance  of  life  and  motion  to 
ngur«*<4  in  tapestry. 

In  1750  there  was  4hown  in  the  exhibition 
of  the  Royal  Academy  of  Painting  a  magic 
picture  by  Amadeus  \  anloo.  To  the  naked 
eye  it  waa  an  allegorical  piettu*o  wliicli 
represented  the  Virtues  witn  their  attri- 
butes projierly  grouped,  but  when  Reen 
through  the  glaRt*  it  exhibited  tlje  picture  of 
Louia  XV. 

The  moHt  noteworthy  in^'ention  of  tl»at 
year  wa«  the  Eidophusikon.  which  repre- 
tent€*d  natural,  phenomena  by  moving 
picture$i.  and  was  on  view  in  Lisle  Street, 
Leicester  Sqimre,  3  April,  1781.  It  was 
mventod  by  De  I^outherbourg,  the  painter, 
who  was  also  termed  t)io  {lanoraniiHt  :  but 
t  lie  Eidophusikon,  it  i»  iMiid.  was  not  a 
panoraniH- 

Tlie  pictorial    contrivance    known    aH  tlie 
I  Panorama    owetl    its   origin    about    1789   to 
Kobert    Barker,    who   gave    it   that    name.  | 
This  was  first  ahown  in  London  in  Leicostcr 
S<)UArc. 

Etienne     Gaspard     Robertson     exhibited 

his    plianta.Hinagoria    in    London    in     1802. 

Kbese   wore    ghost    iUunionH   performed    by 

^pe  aid  of  tiie  phantasniagorio  lantern.     The 

imagpti  were  painted     on  glass,  but    lacked 

llw  neoensary  vitality.     They  were  none  the 

lew  startling  beinga  projected  on  nmoke. 

Tive  uiagic  lantern,  which  had  for  upwards 

lySif  a  century  been  more  or  less  employed  a» 

pb^U>y  or  an  a  meana  to  frishten  people  with 

Mugic     picture.s.  wa.s    utilized   in     1811     for 

spocsal    Bcenic  efPects    in    the    production   of 

*  The    Flying    Dutehnian '    at    the    Adelphi 

Theatre. 

Tl»e  D^puorre-Bouton  Diorama  appeared 
at  Regent's  Park  in  1823. 

Th*  fiTftt  recorded  device  to  cause  the 
illti-Hiun  of  mntifm,  and  known  as  the 
I'h«Mi*ikistoscope,  was  invented  by  Plateau 
of  Ghent  in  1832.  It  is  thu8  described  : — 
*'  A  circular  diak,  haviiitc  radial  slitA  romid  its 
phcry,  wa*  blackened  on  one  side,  while  on  the 
•r  were  drawn  or  jiaint«d  the  varioiw  iihiises  nf 
tiou  to  be  represented.  Un  holdinK  the  dif^k  in

as  seen  hf  loukiui;  thruuRh  the  slits." 
A  T'rogrHmme  of  the  New  Strand  Theatre 
ted  2-Z  February,  1837,  announcc<i  that 
p   entertainment 

will  t'pnoltido  with  a  grand  disfilny  of  a  beaatifal 
ie»   oj     new     Plianlom     Views,     iuii«rceptibly 


meltintf   into  each  other  in  a  most  pleasing  and 
Ruri'riauiKniauDer,  before  the  eyes  of  the  Bi>etitator."^ 

On  3  June.  1842.  it  is  announced  ttiat  there 
"will  he  jiroduoed  for  the  first  time  an  extra- 
ordinary novelty.  ODniiiriernc  ttevenil  original 
effectA,  callccl  Eiduprotean,  orohauKeable|)ortrait4."' 

In  1845  the  Zoetrope,  or  Wheel  of  Life, 
was  introduced.  It  consinted  of  a  cylindrical 
box,  o[>en  at  tlie  top  and  revolvuig  on  a 
stand.  Round  its  side  were  out  vertical  Rlita* 
and  tlie  pieture.s  were  arranged  on  a  lon^ 
Atrip  of  paper,  wliich  won  placed  round  the 
inxide  of  a  cylinder,  and  insj^ectod  tlu'ough 
the  Hlita  ha  the  machine  revolved. 

In  1848  the  Grand  Panorama  of  Pari* 
by  Moonlight  wan  introduced  at  the  Royal 
Colosseum,  Regent'a  X*ark  ;  also  the  Movmg 
Cyelorama  of  Lisbon.  At  thia  time  Prof. 
Pnili[)8tal  brought  out  his  PhantoHmagoria^ 
with  startling  spectral  ilhisionH,  at  the- 
Lyceum  Theatre.  The  figiu'es  were  made 
rapidly  to  increase  and  decreatte  in  nize,  to 
advanco  and  retreat,  diwtolvp.  vanish,  and 
paiw  into  each  otlier,  in  a  mamier  then 
oonnidered  marvellous. 

In  1863  Dircks  and  Pepper  invented 
*' a  x^couliar  arrangement  of  apparatus  to  aasociate- 
on  the  same  stage  a  phantom  ur  phanbunis  with  a- 
livioK  aot*ir  or  actorH.  so  that  the  two  may  act  iu 
oonoort,  but  whidi  ia  only  an  optical  ilhiaton  a» 
respecta  tlie  one  or  more  phantoms  90  introdaoed,** 

Tiiii*  was  tlie  well-known  Pepjx'r'a  OhoBt.- 
a  devict»  for  projecting  ima^tn  of  living 
pictures  in  the  air,  and  exhibited  at  the 
Royal  Polytechnic. 

In  1877  the  Praxinoftcope,  a  variation  of 
tho  Zoetrope.  in  which  t)ie  ))icturea  wertl* 
8een  in  revolving  mirrors,  wiuj  doviaod  bv  C.  E. 
Reynnud.  The  ahove,  of  course,  were  all  nnn- 
pliotographic  applications. 

Now  come  the  most  important  apparatus 
in  the  liistory  of  the  HyntTiesia  of  animated 
motion.  In  1877  E.  Muybridge,  with  an 
electrically  controlled  battery  of  cameras, 
succeeded  in  obtaining  a  Huccession  of 
photograplia  of  moving  liorses,  Ac,  which  he 
copied  on  glass  disks  and  projected  in  the^ 
lantern.  Later,  O.  Au-schutz  adopted  the 
Zoetropc  for  the  display  of  photograplu«. 
naming  his  arrangement  the  Tachyscoiw- 
These  pictures  succeed  each  other  ao  rapidly 
that  the  retinal  image  of  one  picture  is 
retained  until  the  next  is  8U|)erimpoHed  uj»on 
it,  thereby  giving  to  the  observer  the  st^nsc 
of  a  continuous  inuxge  ui  constant  motion.

The  Making  of  '*  Christmas." — Thiswaa 
A  matter  winch  de]>ended  a  great  deal  upon 
the  full  of  tlic  moon.  When  she  waxed 
to  her  best  in  the  latter  or  the  earlier  days 
of  November  or  December,  it  was  best 
witii  the  good  folk  in  Derbyshire,  and  1 
believe  that  there  was  niore  wear  and  tear  for 
-  Old  Moore '  just  before  those  days  of 
the  year  than  in  all  the  rest  of  the  montlia- 
For  it  was  most  important  to  know  all  about 
the  moon*3  phases,  or,  as  some  woiUd  have 
it,  *'  faoes.  "on  account  of  the  "  pig-stickin'," 
the  time  for  which  had  to  be  arranf^d 
between  the  moon  and  the  '"pig-sticker." 
If  tlii«  could  not  be  done  before  the  moon 
"  went  wanin',"  it  boded  ill  for  oil  that  a 
cottager  could  get  out  of  tfit'  pig  which  hud 
been  tended  during  six  montlis.  There  was 
all  the  difference  between  kilUng  on  a  waxing 
or  a  waning  moon.  If  by  chance  the 
killing  had  to  be  done  on  the  wane,  there 
was  much  anxiety  following,  with  extra  care 
in  making  the  pies,  mixing  the  "  minsh  " 
meat,  rendering  the  seam  leaves.  aTid  salting 
^iown  the  hams  and  sides.  Special  care  had 
to  bo  exercised  in  all  these  operations,  and 
there  must  be  no  rule  broken  in  the  disposal 
of  the  "  fry,"  or  the  portions  would  not 
take  the  salt,  the  crusts  would  be  hard,  and 
the  minsh  would  turn  sour.  The  salting 
■down  was  always  a  ticklish  job,  but  if  done 
on  the  moon's  wane,  care  in  the  process  was 
more  than  doubled.  More  salt  and  more 
HUgar  had  to  be  rubbed  in  by  the  hand,  and 
tiw  hams  and  Bides  turned  twice  b»  often. 
In  leas  than  a  fortnight  alter  vutt\iv(|^  t\wfvu 


on  the  alab^  of  ^tone  or  in  the  wooden  shallow 
trough,  the  liams  and  aidea  had  to  l>e  *' nosed" 
for  signs  of  decay  ;  and  if  there  wa^*  a  sus- 
picion of  this,  a  thin  wooden  "  tskure  '  was 
carefully  thrust  in  near  the  bone,  and  if  it 
came  out  clean  and  sweet,  lliia  wa^  a  certain 
test  that  all  was  going  well.  One  can 
easily  imagine  the  why  and  wherefore  of 
all  tlus  CAre,  for  bacon  wlu'ch  shrank  whilst 
lioiliog  was  a  most  serious  matter ;  and 
it  waa  even  more  im|x>rtant  with  the  hams, 
wliich  lo<)t  in  size,  firmness,  and  quality 
if  cured  on  tlie  moon's  wane.  It  wart  an 
evil  day  if  an  ill  smell  came  out  with  the 
testing  "  skure,"  and  there  were  those  who 
under  such  conditions  spoke  about  "  pig» 
bewitched." 

But  if  all  was  well,  tliere  were  good  and 
merry  doings  over  the  making  of  pigHjhcer. 
and  all  the  household  had  "" «  linger  in  tbn 
pie  ''   in  the  course  of  the  making — a  good 
honest  week's  work.     If  there  waa  sometbit^ 
to  be  stirred  in  the  pot,  then  every  one  toot 
a  turn.      But  in  the  making  of  the  puddings 
there  was  more  stirring  than  in  anv  other 
of  tlie  many  mixings.      In  some  fan^ilies  eafh 
member  had  to  add  a  portion  of  the  ingre- 
dients, and  all  had  to  stir  to  make  it  mix 
well.     If   there  wa^  a  baby,   it«   hand  wii

include  among  the  changes  in  country  Hfo 
which  1  have  chronicled  in  *  N.  &   Q.     (sec 
10  S.  X.  207  ;    11  S.  i.  210)  the   stopping  of, 
tite     itinerant    tailor.     Late    one    Saturday 
evening.  40  years  ago.  waiting  for  the  last 
train    to      Hull,    at    a    country    station    in  i 
Holderncss,  I  met    a    quaint  little  old  man.  | 
quite  a   '^  character,"  who  told  me  he  had 
succeeded    his    father    in    that    occupation, 
and  believed  himself  to  be  the  last  survivor  ' 
of  that  trade  in  thoae  parts.    Such  men  went  I 
from  farm  to  farm,  generally  in  the  winter, 
Bud  made  up  suits  of  clothes  for  the  liouse- 


hold  from  cloth  bought  by  tho  farmer.     They 
worked  in  the  farm-liouse,  and  were  boarded 
and    lodged    there.      Corresponding   women- 
workers  still   exist.  W.    C.    B.

The  Bbowv  Sex. — The  following  passage 
occurs  in  Richard  Ford's  *  Gatherings  from 
Spain,*  chap.  vii.  p.  88  (Dent'a  ''  Every- 
man's Library  "  edition) : — 

**  Asiiea*  milk  ttcht  tU  hurra,  is  iu  much  retjuest 
duritHj  tlie  spring  season.  The  brown  sex  drink  it 
in  order  to  fine  their  complexions  and  cool  their 
blood,  rtfrtacar  la  i*angrt ;  the  clergy  and  men  it> 
office, /<w  CTn/</«aWo«.  to  whom  it  is  mother's  uiilk, 
swallow  it  in  order  that  it  may  irive  tone  to  their 
gHstrio  juices." 

Evidently  the  "  brown  sex "  is  the 
feniale  sex.  The  *  N.E.D.'  does  not  givo 
this  image  under  "  brown,"  but  has  tlie 
following  quotation  from  M.  G.  Lewis : 
"  The  fair  sex  elsewhere  are  called  the  *  Brown 
Girls '  in  Jamaica."  According  to  Grant 
Allen's  story  *  In  All  Shades.*  the  word 
"  brown  "  is  used  in  the  West  Indies  to 
denote  an  admixture  of  negro  blood.  Not 
Itaving  Lewis's  journal  at  hand.  I  am  unable 
to  say  whether  the  author  was  speaking  of  the 
sex  in  general,  or  referring  to  natives  of 
other  than  pure  Kuropean  descent.

New  Forms  of  Speech. — It  may  be 
worth  a  note  that,  within  a  few  years,  "  1  'm 
sorry  "  luis  supplanted  "  I  beg  3'our  pardon." 
Instead  of  thanking  one  for  a  slight  favoiu*,- 
people  now  "  thank  you  very  much."  And 
a  waiter,  both  in  taking  3'onr  order  and  in 
placing  a  dish  before  you,  says  **  Thank  yoiL" 

These  changes  in  comnjon  speech  cannot  be 
called  improvements.  As  yet  they  are 
probably  confined  to  tho  larger  cities,  where 
thoy  are  prevalent,  or  at  least  frequent.

*' Yorker."— A  *'yorker"  is  a  well- 
known  term  for  a  peculiarly  fatal  kind  of 
ball  delivered  by  a  bowler  at  cricket.  "  He 
was  bowled  with  a  yorker." 

As  york  must  here  be  a  verb,  it  can  hardly 
have  reference  to  a  certain  famoua  city. 
I  think  *'  yorker  "  is  merely  a  variant  of  the 
prov.  E.  ynrker.  from  the  verb  to  yark^ 
explained  in  the  *  E.O.D.'  as  '*  to  throw  with 
a  jerk,  to  cast  violently."  J'orA:  is  another 
form  of  Shakesijeare's  ycrk,  the  Norse 
equivalent  of  the  Normanized  yerk.  So  it 
simply  means  "  a  jerker.'*

The  Three  Wwhes.— In  Honeys  '  Every- 
day Book  '  (i.  447,  6  April.  1838)  tliere  id  a 
story  said  to  be  taken  h-om  the  *  Moral  and 
Religious  Journey  to  Bethlem  '  by  Fatlier 
Attanasy  of  Dilling,  published  in  Th& 
Salisbury  Qazette  of  8  January,  1818.  It 
would  be  interesting  to  know  tho  origin  of 
this  story,  whicii  is  probably  ancient  and 
-widespread.  It  tells  Iiow  the  Lord  cam© 
on  earth  witli  St.  Peter,  how  tliey  were 
hospitably  entert-ained  by  a  blat-ketnith. 
and  how  the  host,  having  lieeu  given  three 
wishes  as  a  reward,  used  tlienj  so  as  to  be 
able  to  clieat  death  as  long  as  he  pleased, 
and  finally  to  go  to  heaven.  Thia  story 
is  common  in  Provencal  ;  sometimes  tlio 
entertainer  is  a  emitii.  sometimes  a  earpen- 
ter,  and  it  takes  several  forms.  Some  of 
Roumanille's  best  stories  are  founded  on  it, 
AS  good  as  that  of  the  Cur6  de  Cucnignan, 
so  well  known  from  Alphonse  Da\idet*B 
translation  into  French.  I  may  say  tliat 
stories  of  this  kind  are  not  considered  at  all 
irreverent  in  Provence,  and  the  clergj'  there 
laugh  at  them  as  heartily  as  any  of  their 
flock.  Romrianille  himself  was  a  staunch

Christmas  Bouoh  :  Christmas  Bush. —

lady,  who  was  a  well-known  Bluefttocking 
during  tlie  first  quarter  of  the  last  centurj'  ? 
The  name  is  constantly  cropping  up  in 
memoirs  of  that  period  ;  but  1  should  like 
to  know  something  about  her  parentage, 
when  Bhe  died,  if  she  ever  married,  Sec. 
In  one  book  it  was  stated  that  she  was 
writing  a  work  on  the  battle  of  Waterloo  ; 
was  that  ever  published  ?  I  can  find  no

REV.  SEBASTIAN  PITFIELD'S  GHOST. 

(U  S.  ii.  367.) 

Sebastian  Pitfield  was  Rector  of  Warbling- 
ton,  Hants,  from  1677  to  1686.  Ho  was 
probably  the  Sebastian  Pitfield,  minister  of 
Wiiiefrith,  co,  Dorset,  w\\o  received  11.  10«. 
for  increase  of  maintenance  to  January,  1659, 
from  the  Treasurer  to  the  Trustees  for 
MiniflterR*  Maintenance^  under  the  Common- 
wealth. 

In  the  Appendix  to  the  *  Hundred  of 
Bosmere/  privately  printed  by  the  Rev. 
Wm.  Bingley  in  1817,  there  is  on  account  of 
the  ghost  story.  It  is  in  the  form  of  a 
letter  from  Mr.  J.Caswell,  "the  mathe- 
matician," to  Dr.  Beutloy,  enclosing  a 
narrative  which,  Mr.  C-aswell  says,  he  "  wrote 
down  from  the  author's  mouth."  The 
author  was  the  curate  of  Warblington,  and 
the  apparition  represented  *'  Mr.  P.,"  a 
former  incumbent,  who  was  a  man  of  \'ery 
ill  report,  "  supposed  to  have  got  cliildren 
of  his  maid,  and  to  liave  murthered  them." 
The  apparition  was  first  seen  by  a  maid  at 
the  Rectory  in  August,  1696; 'and  a  few 
days  lat*sr  by  the  curate  and  others.  The 
narrative  states : — 

"The  aftjiaritioD  seemed  to  huve  a  morninp  gown 
ot  a  darkinfa  colour,  no  hat,  nor  cup,  short  black 
hair.  »  thin  meagre  visage  of  a  [Kile  ewarthy  colour, 
•eemcd  to  be  about  forty-five  or  fifty  years  old  ;  of 
a  middle  atature." 

The  curate 

"related  this  doeoriptioo  to  Mr.  John  Lardner, 
Heotorof  Havant.  and  to  Mai  or  Bat  tin.  of  Lang- 
«CQO«b    IB    HA\*ant   jiarish;    th«y    both    said    the 


deecription  agreed  very  well  to  Mr.  P..  a  Conner 
rector  of  the  place,  who  has  been  dead  above 
twenty  years.** 

Mr.    Bingley's    '  Hundred    of    Boamere  * 
gives  a  list  of  the  rectors  of  Warblington^ 
but  there   is  no  mention  of  the   n^ctor,   or 
rectors,    who    held    the    li>-ing     from    the 
ejection  of  the  Rev.  John  Harriaon  in  166; 
to    the    presentation    of    the    living    to   Mr 
Pitfield  m   1677.     Against  the  name  of  d>» 
latter  there  ia  a  note  aa  follows :  — 

**  This  is  the  rector  alluded  to  in  the  gboat  storr 
told  in  the  (Hmtrxtr.  No.  71  {•*«*«  Apl^endix),  am 
stigmatised  with  unjust  severity  aa  a  lit(ertin«*nd 
a  murderer:  but  from  the  beslinforraatiuii  tbstcso 
now  he  obtained,  ho  appears  to  have  been  a  rs^jpest- 
able  oh&raotor,  wore  nis  gown,  and  often  anaiad 
himself  inoffensively ;  he  niiicharged  the  duties  o( 
his  office  with  groat  regularity,  and  presided  sttbe 
vestry  meetings  of  |the  pariah,  as  is  shown  bf.  bj* 
signaiui-e  in  the  oM  vestry  book  :  from  whence  it  ii 
to  bo  inferi-e<l  tlial  he  was  finally  attentive  to  the 
other  part  ol  his  duties ;  nothing  ia  shown  to  U)S 
ooDtrary,  and  in  charity,  let  us  believe  him  U>  hats 
been  irreproachable  in  other  resneota.  Tbe  lak 
reata  on  the  authority  of  Mr.  Wilkin*,  the  cMSls. 
who  seema  to  have  boon  as  much  a  goaain  as  ssy 
Aubrey  of  the  age.  The  situation  of  the  hoois 
favorint;  the  practice  of  srougRlingf  Ihcu  very 
iirevaleut,  and  for  which  pnr]>use  it  is  known  to 
nave  been  usee]  in  the  absence  of  tbe  former  rectnrs 
some  nefarious  smugglers  might  have  given  ri»«  to 
story,  the  better  to  conceal  their  tratfio. 

It  is  wortliy  of  note,  however,  that  Mr- 
Pitfield*B  name  does  not  appear  eittior  is 
Mr.  Caswell's  letter  to  Dr.  Bentley,  or  iutltf 
curate's  narrative.  The  apparition  wm8(«i 
in  1696,  and  was  said  to  re»oiuble  *'*• 
P.,  a  former  rector  who  had  been  deiii 
above  twenty  years."  It  seeuis,  tbewf»«*» 
more  likely  to  have  been  the  ghost  of  one 
of  Mr.  Pitfifild's  predocoflsors.

'  YouNO  Folks,*  1870-76  (11  S.  if.  450).— 
This  excellent  weekly  pai>er  has  been  dead 
a  ruimber  of  years.  Its  death  was  repretted 
by  many  others  than  young  folk.s.  and  I  find 
that  now  and  then  there  are  inquiries  for  it. 
Whilst  U.  1*.  Stevenson's  *  Treasure  luland  ' 
was  running  in  it,  the  chapters  always  began 
on  the  front  page,  headed  by  capital  illustra- 
tions, none  of  which.  I  think,  were  reproducwl 
when  it  came  out  in  book-form.  If  I  remem- 
ber rightly,  Stevenson  wrote  other  stories 
for  Young  Folhi,  which  was  altogether  a 
greatly  su]>erior  publication  to  the  majority 
of  those  which  are  now  published.  Tlie 
name  Young  Foik^  was,  I  believe,  changed 
by  Henderson  into  something  else  before  the 
pa|)er  was  finally  dropped.  I  liad  a  bound 
volume  of  the  issue  which  contained 
*  Treasure  Island,'  but  do  not  know  where  it 
is  now.  Besides  Stevenson's  t-ale,  some 
good  *'  giant  "  stories  came  out  in  it  serially.

Taxes  on  CiutSTS  (11  S.  ii.  410). — The 
Act  32  and  33  Victoria,  section  19,  defines 
armorial  bearings  as  signifying  and  in- 
cluding **  any  armorial  bearing,  cre«t,  or 
ensign,  by  whatever  name  the  same  sliall  be 
called,  and  whether  such  armorial  bearing, 
crest,  or  ensign  shall  be  registered  in  the 
College  of  Arms  or  not.** 

If  I  understood  it  rightly,  a  recent 
judgment  in  the  Courts  excluded  the  use  of  a 
mere  crest,  on  note-paper  at  any  rate,  from 
the  operation  of  the  tax.  I  know  maiden 
ladies  who  yearly  pay  for  tlie  privilege  of 
using  a  crest,  though  properly  a  crest  belongs 
to  the  males  only  of  their  family.  Some 
authoritative  pronouncement  upon  the  whole 
question  would  seem  to  be  desirable.

BiCRLG  (U  S.  ii.  429). — I  am  aware  of  the

Srotlish  Reformer,  John  Erskine  of  Dun.  as 
having  married  (1)  Elizabeth  LindBay. 
dftugliter  of  the  Earl  of  Crawford,  and  ('2) 
Barbara  de  Bierlo,  a  lady  in  attendance  on 
Queen  Mary  of  Guise.  Will  W.  C.  J.  or 
some  other  correspondent  kindly  indicate 
the  authority  for  these  marriages,  particularly 
the  second  ?  Is  it  not  probable  tliat  Barbara 
de  Bierle  was  married  to  some  Erskine  other 
than  him  of  Dim  ?  Popular  writers  on 
Erskine  of  Dun,  and  even  Church  historians 
acquainted  with  the  period  in  which  he 
lived,  are  extremely  reticent  in  speaking 
of  his  domcstio  life.  The  obscurity  in  which 
it  is  involveil  produces  Hie  impression  tliat 
guesswork  may  have  liad  not  a  little  to  do 
with  his  alleged  matrimonial  coimexions. 
.At  all  events,  if  the  two  marriages  mentioned 
above  are  accepted,  a  third  must  be  added 
to  them.  His  death  took  placet  in  1592. 
By  his  witl  he  left  to  *'  his  weilbelovit  spous

The  proverb  as  given  in  tlic  query  appears 
i&  *  Proverbs  chiefly  taken  from  the

^rojimi.  but  I  havti  not  sueceediMi  in  my 
Hwch  for  it.  Bland  says  that  tlie  proverb 
W  reputed  to  have  been  frequently  in  the 
mouth  of  King  James  I.     He  adds  : — 


*'  Lor<l  Verulani  tnyn,  *  DinflimuUtioii  is  but  •

According  to  Bland,  the  Itahan  form  is 
'*  Chi  non  sa  lingere,  non  sa  vivere."  Accord- 
ing to  Henry  G.  Hohn's  '  I'olyglot  of  Foreign

In  St.  Michael's  Church,  Coventry,  the 
steeple  of  wliich  VVreu  considered  a  master- 
piece, might  be  seen  some  seventy  yecui^ 
ago  the  arms  of  Queen  Elizabeth;  and  the 
churchwardena'  accounts  render  disciin- 
tions  of  the  arms  of  James  L,  Charles  1., 
of  the  Commonwealth,  and  of  Charles  II. 
in  the  same  church.  Trinity  Church,

On  the  left  side  of  the  arch  of  tlie  south 
porch  of  Gloucester  Cathedral,  a  stiield 
restored  bore  tho  ancient  arms  of  England, 
quartered  with  6eiu^-de-lia  and  lions.  This 
slueld  sustained  an  innovation  by  trans- 
posing tho  lions  into  the  first  and  fourth 
quarters,  and  the  fleurs-de-lis  into  the  second 
and  tliird  quarters.  Brady  in  his  *  Clavis 
Calcudaria  '  says  that  when  Edward  II L 
quartered  his  arms  witli  those  of  France,  he 
placed  tho  latter  in  the  second  and  third 
quarters,  as  arms  of  alliance,  to  denote  his 
maternal  descent  from  Isabel,  the  daughter 
and  heir  of  Philip  IV.  of  France  ;  but  when, 
in  the  fourteentti  year  of  his  reign,  he  was 
encouraged  to  claim  that  Kinedom,  be  placed 
the  lilies  in  the  first  quarter.  Mb.  McGovern 
gives  Edward  II.  as  the  earliest  instance  of 
such  royal  arms  (in  tho  East  Window  of 
Bristol  Cathedral)  ;  but  these  must  have 
been  before  the  conquest  of  France  by  his 
successor,  and  did  not.  of  course,  relate  to  the

"Pirs"  ON  Cards  AND  Dice  (11  S.  ii.  465). 
— Pkof.  Skeat  gives  arguments  to  show 
tliat  pip,  earlier  peep^  in  this  sense,  may  be 
the  same  as  pip  (of  an  apple).  The  '  N.E.D.' 
rejects  this  etymology-,  the  latter  word 
appearing  only  in  the  eighteenth  century, 
while  **  peep,  spot  on  a  card,  &c.,"  occurs 
c.  1600.  The  early  examples  show  that 
**  pip "  is  equivalent  to  *'  point,"  e.g,, 
*'  He*fi  but  one  petp  above  a  serving  man  " 
(1620)  and  the  common  phrase  a  peep 
out"  ('Taming  of  the  Shrew,'  I.  ii.).  The 
'  N.E.D.'  also  quotes  "  a  pt^p  higher."  I 
have  eveii  licard  an  offer  to  '*  give  a  few 
pips  '*  in  a  billiard-room. 

A  solution  of  the  etymology  may  be 
found  by  oomimring  the  equivalents  used 
in  other  languages.  In  German  and  Dutch 
these  spotti  are  called  "  eyes."  in  the  Romance 
languages  "  points."  I  can  give  fairly  early 
authority  for  these,  viz.,  Du.,  "  ooyhe,  op 
den  teerlinck,  punctua.  punctum  "  (Kilian, 
1620),  '*  de  oogen  van  een  dobbelsteen,  the 
points  at  dice "  (Sewel,  1727)  ;  Ger., 
**  Augen  auf  den  Karten,  poinla  at  cards; 
Augen  Aui  den  Wiirfleln.  pmrUs  at  dice" 
(Ludwig,  1716);  It.,  **  punto.  a  point  or 
jwirk  upon  the  dice,  a  pairU  or  spot  upon  the 
cards  "  {Torriano,  1659) ;  Fr.,  "paint,  peep 


at  cards"  (Mi«gES  1687);   Sp.   ,*'pimlo,  th 
ace  at  cards  or  dice  "  (Stevens,  1706). 

The  use  of  *'  eye"  in  tliis  sense  in  Gee 
and  Du.  suggests  that  tliis  peep  beloi^ 
to  the  verb  peep.  It  is  curious  that  * 
of  day  "  is  in  Fr.  "  point  (or  pointe)  du  jour, 

I  formerly    simply    point    (v.    C-otgrave.    s.v, 
poinet),  and  in  early  Sp.  *' punta  del  dia 

j  (Oudin,     1660).    wliile     Fr.    poindre    raeoju. 
among  other  things,  "to  peepe,  or  peer  oat 

I  (as  a  morning  suiuie  over  the  top  of  a  hill)  * 

j  (Cotgrave).  Finally,  the  Fr.  verb  "  piper, 
to  whistle,  or  clurpe,  like  a  bird.  Ac." 
(Cotgrave),  with  which  Prof.  Skrat  ('  Notei 
on  English  Etymology,'  pp.  210-11)  in* 
geniously  connect*  our  verb  "  to  peep,"  ii 
also  asBoeiated  with  imrds  and  dice,  e.g^ 
"  cartes  pip4eB,  dez  pipez,  false  cards,  or 
dice"  (Cotgrave).  Boyer  (1702)  for  "w 
peep  "  has  also  the  spelling  "  to  pip."

Some  persons  suffer  from  "  pips  "  on  tbf

(11  S.  ii.  469).— The  instance  given  by  Mr. 
Gerish  is  only  one  pliase  of  a  widely- 
si>rend  piece  of  folk-lore.  Tlio  idea  of  buried 
treasure  is  attached  to  mounds  and  earth- 
works in  every  part  of  the  kingdom,  aaso- 
ciated,  as  at  Mark>'atc  Cell,  with  doggerel 
rimes. 

Concerning  the  Maiden  Bower  at  Dunstable 
a  local  versifier  embodies  the  local  idea  : — 

Still  Tatternhoe  damec  rehearse  their  tale, 

On  eve  of  winter's  day) 
About  a  chest  bid  in  their  knoll 

When  Romans  wtrnt  nway. 
'Ti«  at  the  bottom  of  that  well 

On  CoetU'  Hill,  thry  say; 
Of  Kood  old  gold  it  woa  brimful, 

And  lies  there  to  this  day. 

Concerning  an  enclostir©  in  Somerset 
called  Dolbcrry  Camp,  the  people  in  Leland^a 
time  had  an  idea  that 


If  Dolbeyri  d 
Of  Kold  Mouli 


were 
the  share. 


According  to  local  traditi(Tn.  a  golden 
vessel  fidl  of  treasure  is  concealed  in  a  c^ve 
at  Dinas  Emrys.  The  tumulus  near  the  east 
end  of  the  aventie  leading  to  the  Maiden 
C-astle  in  Orinton  is  popularly  reported  to 
contain  an  iron  chest  filled  wnth  money. 
In  1730  the  neighbours  dug  near  the  rampart 
of  Bucton  Castle,  in  Mottram.  in  the  csi»cta- 
tion  of  finding  a  cheHt  of  gold.  At  .\bemetljy, 
a  few  miles  from  Perth,  the  treasures  of  the 
Pictish  kings  are  said  to  1)e  hidden,  including 
a  kettle  of  gold,  zealously  guarded  by  a 
trow  or  fairy  ;  while  ix>])ular  belief  ik  strong 
concerning  such   treasiire  concealed 

lietwixt  CiMtle  Law  and  Carney  vane 
As  would  enrioh  a*  SeotUnd  ane  by  ane. 

To  tliis  search  for  ludden  treasure  we 
owe  the  downfall  of  ntany  old  menhirs,  or 
stones  in  circles.  I  Iiave  a  long  list  of 
examples,  but  enough  has  been  given  to 
show  how  widespread  is  the  sii|ierstition.

that  Miemberii  of  monastic  establishments 
did  bury  their  hoards,  it  may  be  mentioned 
that  in  1843,  when  the  workmen  of  Mr. 
Parker  Avers  were  laying  bare  the  south 
wall  of  the  choir  of  Dover  Priory  Cliurrh, 
they  found  thirty  silver  coins  of  the  reigns  of 
Henry  I.  and  Henry  II.  As  the  building 
was  complet-ed  and  in  use  before  the  reign 
of  Henry  II.  these  coins  must  have  lx*en 
a  hoard  hidden  in  tlie  wall,  and  not  put 
there  for  dedication  purposes.  Most  of  the 
coins  were  placed  in  the  Dover  Museum.

Wilkinson,  Comedian  at  the  Adelphi 
Theathe  (11  S.  ii.  468),— The  Christian 
names  of  this  actor  won*  James  Pimhury, 
but  he  was  commonly  referred  to  ns 
**  CSeoffrcy  Muflflnpap  '*  Wilkinson,  from  his 
aupcess  in  the  character  of  that  name  in 
Peake'ft  farce  of  '  Amateurs  and  Actors." 

He  is  said  to  Im^■e  been  born  in  London 
in  1787,  and  to  Jiave  been  by  trade  a  book- 
binder. He  began  his  theatrical  cartrer 
about  1806,  under  old  Samuel  Jcrrold.  at 
Cranbrook,  where  Harley,  also  a  noAice, 
was  in  the  company  ;  and  proceeding  thence 
to  Watford,  annthpr  of  Jerrold's  towns,  Ite 
there  became  associated  with  Kdinund 
Kean,  Oxberry,  and  Cobham — afterwards 
called  the  Keau  of  the  minors — all  then  un- 
known to  fame. 

Aftor  some  years'  experience  in  the  princi- 
pal thpfttresof  St-otlancl.  Wilkinson  obtained, 
througli  tlio  interest  of  Bartley,  an  engage- 
ment with  Arnold  at  the  English  Opera- 
House  (Lyceum),  where  he  made  his  first 
Rp|)earance  on  1.5  June,  1816,  as  Simon 
SpatterdRsh  in  '  The  Boarding-Houae,'  and 
continuvd   during   fteveTa\  aeaaoua,  \\o\dii\^ 


his  own  with  such  actora  aa  Wianch.  Harley 
and  Hartlev. 

In  1821  he  removed  t-o  the  Adelpiii.  wh*T« 
he  was  the  original  Bob  Logic  in  MoncriefTs 
version  of  '  Tom  and  Jerry,'  a  part  nf 
sufficient  importance  to  be  afterwards 
assumed  by  tf^e  Mr.  Farren  at  Covent  Garden, 
The  piece  also  received  the  supixirt  of 
Wrench.  John  Reeve,  and  Keeley.  In 
1826  Wilkinson  was  engaged  at  the  Hay- 
market,  where  he  played  Touchstone  arid 
many  parts  of  the  first  inumrt-ance  in  hi* 
line,  and  continued  there  during  the  two 
following  seasons. 

Wilkinson  visited  America  about  ]83i 
but  the  parts  of  dry,  quaint  eccentricity  iji 
which  he  excelled  did  not  prove  acceptable 
to  American  audiences,  and  he  returont 
to  the  Adelphi  under  Vates.  with  ultoui 
ho  remained  several  years,  playing  uinoiy: 
other  parts  that  of  Squeers.  A.**  time  weni 
on  his  position  in  the  theatre  declined  ;  And 
when  Wright  was  engaged,  the  exuheiwii 
humour  of  that  comedian  probably  over- 
shadowed the  quieter  style  of  Wilkinson. 

I  believe  his  last  ajtpearance  was  al  tl*** 
old  Olymi)ic  Theatre  some  time  before  IW. 
and  then  his  name  disai^jxuirs  from  the  MlK 
without  any  formal  leavetaking  such  as  «ts 
then  rather  customary  than  otherwise  intlx" 
case  of  an  old  public  favourite. 

I  have  a  newspaper  cutting  in  which  ^^ 
mentioned  as  liaving  been  present  at  H«H^' 
funeral  in  1858,  but  I  do  not  think  wy 
thing  later  was  recorded  of  him.  1  v^"^ 
met  any  one  who  had  heard  of  hi»  (fc*li'' 
but  a  few  years  ago  I  came  by  accldrol 
upon  his  t-ombstone  in  Norwood  Ceniot*ty, 
from  which  it  appears  that  he  died  16  S<T" 
tembcT.  1873.  aged  87  years.

of  the  letters  arc  of  con.siderabIe  length.  Wa

treated into  Portugal  "  ;  and  Madame  Elizabeth,

ment among  the  people,  but  a  great  deal  of 
terror."  The  Duke  of  Wellington  on  the  20tb 
of  May,  1832,  writes  angrily  in  reference  to  corre- 
spondence published  in  newspapers,  and  states  : 
"  I  did  negotiate  the  Convention  for  the  Hurrender 
to  his  Majesty  of  the  Danish  Fleet  and  Arsenal 
at  Copenhagen.  But  I  never  before  heard  that 
any  individual  was  responsible  for  the  execution 
of  every  Article  of  a  Convention."  A  letter  of 
Thomas  Day's  reads  like  a  portion  of  his  own 
'  Handforil  and  Merton  '  :  "If  wo  consider  the

AN   AilULET   OR    PKESERVATIVE 
AGAINST   SICKNESS   AND   DEATH.* 

£aaly    iu    the    rteveriteeiith    century    there 

appeared   a   little   voluine   of  warning   and 

consolation  which  is  worth  a  passing  notice. 

The  title-page  is,  after  the  laaliion  of   the 

«ge,  copious,  if  not  redundant.     It  reads  : — 

^L  "  An   Ainvlet  or  Pi-eservativo   agaiiut  Sicknc*

m  Thames.     London.      Printt'd    by  R,   F.  for 

Man  and  lonitit  Man,  dwallin^  in  Pater- 

Row  at  the  signc  of  tlio  Talbot.     1017." 

This  book  is  dedicated  "  To  the  right 
Worshipful  and  vertuuuK  Ladie,  the  Ladle 
Elizabeth  Periani  of  Greenlauds.*'  by  the 
author,  who  declares  that  he  had  '*  alwaiea 


difltauted  the  too  much  forwardnes  of  this 
age  in  publisliing  unnecessary  books,"  but 
yet  thought  that  which  he  Iiad  wi*itten 
for  his  own  private  use  might  be  of  furtlicr 
service.  He  discusses  the  question  why 
Hiokneaa  is  sent,  and  how  the  fear  of  death 
is  to  be  remedied,  &.C.,  in  accordance  with 
the  tJieology  of  liis  time.  He  shows  good 
sense  in  ad\'ising  men  whilst  in  health  to  set 
their  afTairs  in  order  and  to  make  their  wills 
(p.  144).  After  those  "nearestaud  dearest'* 
nhould  come  poor  kinsfolk,  tlie  ijoor  in 
general,  and  *'other  holy  and  charitable  uses.'* 
Whilst  he  advistJ*  frequent  Conunumon,  ho 
laments  tliat  "for  so  many  years"  thp  Sacra- 
ment "  hath  been  unworthily  received  and  so 
unreverently  handled,  and  of  many  con- 
temned and  lightly  regarded."  Ho  warns 
liis  readers  that  reconciliation  and  restitu- 
tion are  "  reciuired  in  time  of  j^ickuess  (if 
not  performed  before)" — a  saving  clause. 
A  curious  case  of  conscience — whicli  caiuiot 
often  have  occurred,  it  may  be  thought — 
is  thus  stated:  "Is  physic  lawful?  To 
this  query  he  sensibly  returns  the  obvious 
answer  that  it  is. 

In  liis  next  obser\'ation  we  get  some  seven- 
teenth-century folk-lore : — 

"  As  for  witehes  and  wizards,  iacbnnt^ra  and 
sorcerers  and  the  lik*'^,  who  will  tak<-  upon  theiu 
to  beale  and  cure  the  sirke,  by  rertam  f:iined  and 
devised  oeremouies,  or  by  a  certaine  number  of 
words  or  prayers,  wherount<»  they  jutcriiNt  the 
vortuc  and  power  of  healing  diseases  :  these  are 
by  all  nieaacs  to  be  avoided,  and  to  bn  [lut  away 
far  from  u.s.  For  they  are  the  vury  hand  and 
instrvuueuta  of  the  direU  and  evU  spirits,  and  nut 
the  hand  of  Almighty  God,  by  whose  word  and 
power  all  things  ni-e.  nnd  ought  to  b<i  ruled  ainl 
governed." — F^.  73-4. 

In  translating  Cyprian's  sermon  on  mor- 
tality tho  ^v^iter  thought  a  port  unprotitablo, 
and  so  observes  in  the  margin  "  X  vision 
is  here  reported  by  the  author  wliich  I 
thought  good  to  omit,"  though  Jie  alludes  to 
these  revelations  in  his  preface.  The  deleted 
section  is  that  describing  the  vision  of  a 
dying  priest. 

The  *  Amulet '  appears  in  tlie  British 
Museum  Catalogue  under  the  initiaLs  given 
on  the  title-page.  The  veil  of  concealment 
i»,  liowever,  a  very  tliin  one,  for  Abraham 
Man  was  incumbent   of  Henley -t)n -Thames 

I  from  Iflao  to  1631,  the  year  in  which  he  died. 

i  In  1607  ho  had  a  lawsuit  with  Sir  John 
Swinnerton  on  the  ever-vexed  question  (jf 
tithes.  In  the  end  Swinnerton  oaid  40/. 
and  had  his  land  clear  (Burn's  '  Hintory  uf 
Henley-on-Thames,'  p.  133).  The  author 
and  his  publishers  may  possibly  have  boea 
related.

"LOVE    ME,    LOVE    UY   DOG/' 

'his  proverbial  expression  haa  interested 
me  for  many  years  because  1  have  from 
boyhood  had  a  great  liking  fur  thi»  faithful 
Afiimnl.  the  truetit  friend  that  man  has  in  alt 
the  brute  creation.  Camden  in  )uh  *  Ke- 
maines  ^  (2nd  ed.,  London,  1614)  tioA  a 
chapter  entitled  '  ProverVi:*,'  which  is.  1 
suppose,  the  earliest  coUeetion  of  such 
sayings  in  the  English  language.  On  p.  300 
tliis  particular  ono  is  ffiven  thus  :  '*  Loue 
tne  loue  my  dogge."  But  I  can  go  much 
further  back  than  tlud  good  old  writer's 
time. 

St.  Bernard  of  Clairvaux,  preaching  in 
the  twelfth  century  on  the  feast  of  St. 
Michael  the  Archangel,  makes  excellent  uae 
of  this  common  proverb  {vtdgare  protrrbium) 
w-hen  he  says : — 

"  Angcli  amant  i»»(  quia  nos  C'Uristus  ainavii. 
Dicitur  vftto.  viilg&ri  provorbio  :  qui  mc  amat, 
nmat  et  raneiu  iiieutu.  Nos  v<*ro,  o  benti  ant^cli, 
cateUi  BuiriuK  Doiuiui  illius  qiiem  taotu  aRcctu 
ilillgitii  ;  catellt,  inquuin,  cupfeotea  wtturari  de 
inicis  qiuc  cailunb  de  menaa  Doniinorum  nostro- 
i-um,  qui  t'stis  voc."  <juotod  by  Hunncus 
KoRelgrave  in  hin  *  Cielestc  Panthoon/  tith  ed., 
vol.  J.  p.  2on,  t'oluguf,  1727. 

St.  Bernard  borrows  his  language  from  the 
Vulgate  :  Matth.  x\'.  26,  27,  Marc.  \-ii.  27, 
28,  and  Luc.  xvi.  21.  The  woman  of 
Canaan,  according  to  the  first  reference, 
when  asking  the  Lord  to  cure  her  daughter, 
receives  thi-i  re]>ly  :  "  It  is  not  meet  to  take 
the  ciiildren's  bread,  and  to  cast  it  to  doga. 
And  she  said.  Truth.  Lord  :  yet  the  dog« 
eat  of  the  enimbfi  whicli  fall  from  their 
niHsters'  table."  There  seems  to  rao  a  lack 
of  point  in  this  translation,  wliich  is  from  the 
Autliorized  Version.  In  the  l>ouay  Bible 
we  have  "  dogs  "  in  the  former  verse  and 
**  whelps  "  in  the  latter,  wliich  are  tlie  exact 
<^uivalent«  of  canes  and  caUUi  in  the 
Vulgate,  from  which  it  is  translated.  On 
conHultinp  thcGreek,  we  find  in  St.  Matthew's 
(jJospol  the  diminutive  Kvvdpia  employed 
in  both  verses.  I  have  examined  four 
different  editions  on  my  shelves,  and  the 
reading  ia  the  same  in  each.  With  one  of 
them  ifi  printed  the  Latin  version  of  Bene- 
d  ictus  Ariaa  Montanus.  wliich  he  claims  to 
be  thf  \'u)gate  corrected  in  strict  accordance 
with  tiie  Greek  text.     "  It  was  aw^QN-ed," 


says  tlie  editor  uf   the  book   (Amsterdam^ 
1741),     "  in    the    year      1571     a      Fncultat^ 
Theologica  in  Academia  Louvanieiisi."   ajul 
we  therefore  read  cattUis  instead  of  canibvt 
in    the    26tli    verse — a    reading    which    has 
just  as  little  mint  aa  that  of  tlie  Authori»<j 
v'ersion.       All  w*helpa  are  dogs,  bat  all  dogs 
are  not  whelps.     This  distinction  is  ignored 
in    the    Greek    version    of     St.     Matthew'i 
Gospel,   wliich,  St.  Jerome  assures  u»^  m$ 
Qmt  written  in  the  Hebrew  language  (see  t&# 
preface  to  his  *  Comment  aria  in  Evangeliom 
Sancti  Matthiei  ad  Eusebiuin.*  p.  3,  Gaume's 
edition.   Psris,    1852).     The  original  is  now 
lost,    but    mav    liave   been   in    oxibteuce  in 
that  great  8oholar'»  time  ;    or  eUe  he  may 
have  seen  a  Greek  MS.  wliich  had  xtVi  inatcad 
of   Kri'tt/i/ot^   in  verse   26,    or,  seeing  that  a 
contrast     was    intended,    as      the    incident 
demands,    he    UTOte    canibu*    and     caUUi. 
Wliatever  the  ca^  mav  be,  he  adherM  Co  tfaft 
distinction   in  the  volume  just  mentioned, 
for  he  quotes  the  verses  as  they  stand  in  kh^ 
\*ulgate.  and  in  his  comments,  among  other 
things,  he  praises  tlie  woman's 
"  humilitaa,    quA    fco    uon    ■  i    ■•  ,         ..J    c^tultf

in  Greek,  his  Gospel  being  said  to  be  baied 

to  a  certain  extent  on  tliat  of  tiis  iiredecfws.

52/f 


1  tlunk  my  contentioti  i&  amply  proved  by 
the  lauji^age  of  both  £vtuigelist8.  and, 
C8ix.'cialt\'.  by  the  words  "  wlielfw*  under  the 
table." 

St.  Jerome  did  not  write  a  comnientAry  on 

8t.  Mark's  Cnjspel.  but  Venerable  Bede  com- 

|K>»ed  what  he  iiatnes  an  "  Expositio  "  of  it, 

wliicli  is  pretty  much  the  same  thing,  and  is 

evidently  modelled  on  that  of  the  learned 

Father.     In   point   of   fact    he   says    in   his 

introduction  that  his  book  is  based  on  what 

he    has    found    **  in    Patrum    \'enerabilium 

exomplis,"  so  I  am  not  surprised  wJien  I  see 

8t.   JcTomf's  words,  already  quoted,  repro- 

dut'cd    under    tliin    passage    of    tho    second 

K\angelist.     But  Bede  gives  us,  nevertheless, 

much    of    hi»   oi^'n     throughout    liia   work. 

For  instance,  when  the  woman  says,  '*  con- 

tcnta  sum  ivliquiis  catulorum"  in  Jerome*B 

ivtninentary,     Bede     adds     *'  ut  humilitate 

f jiioATuni    a<l    panis    integr i    ven iam    magn i - 

tudineni  *'   (Gavime's  ed  ,  p.    152).     He  was 

Hot  ignorant  of  Greeks  but  he  uses  the  Vul- 

^aie  version  all  tlirough  liis  treatise,  because 

at  was  the  accepted  authority  in  his   time, 

as  it  had  been  centuries  before  and  continued 

Vo  bo  for  centuries  after,  and  it  has  lost  little 

or  nothing  of  its  fame  at  the  present  day 

^rith  Boholars. 

Ft   In     Bloomfiold's     '  Greek     and     English 
Lexicon  to  the   New  Testaujent  '   (London. 
1840)  we  are  told   that  Kvvtipiov,  the  diniinu- 
tive  of  Ki'un-,  is  uaed  as  "  a  term  of  contempt," 
d  is  equivalent  to  our  word  "  cm*."     Ah 
only  rrforonces  he  gives  are  to  the  verses 
Matthew  and  Mark.  I   do  not  accept  his 
elusion,     for      reasons     already     given. 
n,  in  tho  latter's  GoRnel,  Jairus  calls  his 
ghter     9^'ydrptfi\^      {filiola)      instead     of 
ynriffj  {filio),  or  when  the  same  diiniimtivo 
Aj)f)lipd  to  the  woman  of  Canaan's  daught*»r 
IMark  v.    23,  vii.   25).  nothing   but  affection 
is  implied.     It  seems  strange  that  in  both 
instances   the   Vulgate   has  filia  instead  of 
filiola,  which  is  a  good  word  used  by  Cicero 
himself.      Montanus.  to  whom  I  have  already 
referreti,  does  not  fail  to  raako  what  he  deems 
the  necessary  correctious.     1  have  said  that 
St.  Bernard  has  borrowed  i>art  of  liis  lan- 
ciiAge   from    Luke    xvi.    20-21,   which   tells 
tliH  story  of  Dives  and  Lazarus  : — 

'  Et  crat  guidnxn  raeudirus,  [i<niiine  Laxanifi, 
qui  iAcebat  ad  innuAin  cius  !divitH,  ulci-ribuH 
pli'iiUB.  runiriui  sutumri  dt-  itucia,  qua>  cadt:lmnt 
il>-  mc*n*a  divitis,  et  nemo  Hti  dahat ;  Bed  et  canes 
vcnicbdUt,  et  lingebant  ulcora  elus.'* 
in  this  passage*  it  is  evident  tliat  in  our 
Kriglish  translations  wo  should  use  the  word 
'  Rcraj)* "  instead  of  **  crumbs,"  for  the 
^ica  liere  mean  much  more  than  fragments 


h 


of  bread.  The  refuse  of  tlie  l>anquet.  bonea 
and  all,  waa  thrown  to  the  dogs  lying  outside 
the  door  together  with  the  beggar,  who, 
being  a  iejjer,  was  looked  upon  as  unclean. 
These  were  the  kiV<«,  tJio  pariah  or 
scavenger  dogs,  which  were  an  abomination 
to  the  Jews  and  other  Oriental  nations,  and 
have  been  quite  recently  deported  from  tlie 
streets  of  Con.'^tantiiiople.  (t  shows  how 
forlorn  and  helpless  was  tho  condition  of 
Lazarus  when  "  the  dogs  came  and  licked 
his  sores."  I  have  somewhere  read  that  a 
painter,  in  his  picture  of  the  expulsion  of 
Adam  and  Eve  from  Paradise,  representa 
them,  by  a  happy  inspiration,  as  being 
followed  by  a  dog.  Wlien  these  poor 
animals  fawned  on  tho  Ix'ggar  in  liis  utter 
abandonment,  it  seems  to  me  they  showed 
their  affoctioii  for  man.  which  lias  been  their 
instinct  from  lime  immemorial. 

In  Hebrew  literature  there  is,  it  would 
appear,  notliing  that  can  be  quoted  in  tho 
sense  of  the  proverb  "  Love  me,  love  my 
dog."  In  Greek  there  is  the  beautiful  stori,' 
of  tho  recognition  of  his  quondam  master 
l^lysses  by  the  hound  Argos  in  the  seven- 
teentli  book  of  the  *  Odyssey.'  This  episode 
certainly  suggests  the  sentiment  contained 
in  St.  Bernard  s  words,  but  we  cannot  say  it  is 
expressed.  Furthermore,  tho  dog  was  only 
a  whelp  when  VlyHscs  went  to  Troy,  and,, 
as  he  was  away  from  Itliaca  al>out  twenty 
years,  it  follows  tliat  the  animal  must  have 
been  above  that  age.  Whether  a  dog's 
life  extends  to  such  a  sjmn  may  well  be 
doubted,  but,  for  the  moment,  let  it  bo 
granted  on  Homer's  authority,  which  is 
against  that  of  Aristotle,  Pliny  the  Elder, 
and  modem  writers.  Apart  from  that 
difficulty,  the  story  is  admirable. 

How  'well  Sir  Walter  Scott  has  imitated' 
this  passage  may  be  seen  in  the  tliirty- 
eighth  chapter  of  '  Old  Mortality  '  : — 

"  While  MfB.  WiUon  woa  thua  detaiUog  tfai*

in  a  tone  of  baAtv  impatience,  '  Down,  ICIphin  I

old  lady,  struck  with  great  and  audden  aurprise.

•oyvn  property,  but  wliioh,  unlike  to  the 
fftithful  Argus,  saw  his  master  retiUTi  from 
hia  wanderings  without  any  sign  of  recogni- 
tion." Hut  the  little  dog  niado  ample 
Amends,  and  I  am  inclined  to  think  tliat  the 
animal,  when  it  i^  of  moderate  size,  shows 
more  affection  towards  its  owner  than  those 
of  greater  bulk,  because  it  feels  il«  master  is 
its  protector,  while  the  others  trust  more 
to  their  own  strength  and  courage. 

In  Latin  literature  Pliny  furnishes  many 
anst-ances  of  the  dog's  lidelity  to  its  master* 
but  the  finest  tribute  paid  to  the  animal  ia 
to  be  found  in  Martial  ^  '  Epitaphium  Canis 
Lydiee '  (Epigranimatum  ]>ib.  XI.,  Ixix.). 
i>he  is  thus  described  : — 

Aniphitheatralf<!ti  inter  nutrit-a  nui|;iBtruB 
VeiiAlrix,  Kylvi**  apporfl.  btanda  domi, 
Lydin  dicpbar,  doininn  lidissitna  Oextni. 

In  a  boar-hunt,  exliibited  in  the  arena  for 
the  delectation  of  the  Uoman  |>opulace. 
Lydia,  fighting  gamely  to  the  last,  was  killed 
by  tho  tlurust  of  the  furious  beast's  tusk. 
The  poet  represents  her  as  rejoicing  in  such 
a  deatli : — 
Non    queror,    iuferoAS    qoanivis    cito    npta   sub 

umbraa  ; 
Non  potui  fato  nobiiinre  mori. 

Here  we  have  the  old  Roman  glorification 
of  brute  courage,  tho  fighting  spirit,  and  the 
contempt  of  death  ;  but  Lydia  Ims  less  con- 
nexion with  tlie  proverb  at  the  head  of  this 
note,  it  seeins  to  me.  tlian  Argos,  iinnior- 
tftlizpd  by  Homer.  The  Romans  employed 
the  dog  in  the  cliase,  and  we  know  from  the 
•exprossion  "  Cave  caneni  "  that  it  guarded 
their  houses  ;  but  as  for  any  kind  feeling 
for  the  animal,  such  as  is  miplied  in  St. 
Bernard's  words,  we  may  search  in  vain  in 
(Sreek  and  Latin  wTiters,  Homer  alone 
excepted.  One  would,  therefore,  conclude 
that  the  proverb  "  Qtii  me  amat,  amat  et 
canem  meum,"  must  have  become  "popular  " 
in  poBt-classical  times.

R's  OF  Sailors. — In  '  Anecdotes  of  the 
Manners  and  Customs  of  London  during 
the  Eighteenth  Century,*  by  James  PeUer 
Malcolm,  2nd  ed.,  1810,  vol.  ii.  pp.  57,  58.  is 
an  account  of  how  a  large  number  of  sailors 
demanded  from  the  magistrates,  then 
(MarrJi  or  possibly  1  Aprils  1763)  assembled 
at  "The  Black -horse  near  the  Victualling- 
offiee,"  the  release  of  some  comradcH,  whicli 
waa  graikted,  and  tlien  of  certain  women. 
The  latter  demand  being  refused,  the 
number  of  sailors  increased  till  there  were, 
*'  it  is  said/*  more  t)ian  a  tliousaiid.  Soldiers 
arrived  at  the  request  of  the  magiHtrates, 
and  the  Riot  Act  was  read  tliree  times.  The 
oflf5cer  commanding  was  on  the  point  of 
ordering  his  men  to  firo  when 
"*  navftl  officer  mode  his  apttoartinoe  in  front  of 
the  Sailors,  and  intreatefi  the  op<ler  niijfht  h* 
neenneil  till  he  had  endeavoured  to  convince  hin 
hretliren  of  the  inijiropriety  of  their  conduct.  Ho 
then  addressed  bitnHelf  to  th^  •Sailors,  aod  Baid 
they  wonld  forfeit  the  favour  of  the  King,  who 
luuf  promised  to  take  off  their  K's  ;  to  whioh  he 
■dded  other  arfcnmentA,  and  at  length  prevailed 
Qpon  two-third*  of  them  to  follow  him  to  Tower- 
hill,  where  he  dismiseed  them." 

Eventually  an  escort  on  the  way  to 
Clerkenwell  Bridewell  was  overtaken  by  a 
party  of  sailors  in  Chiswell  Street,  and  '*  the 
Serjeant  wisely  determined  to  resign  liis 
charge  **  (eight  of  the  women)  after  one 
of  Ilia  men  had  fired  and  wounded  a  sailor  and

R*»  T  ROBKRT    PlRRPOINT. 


Rtbdlr     nr     Claret.  —  The     '^X.E.D.* 

defines  a  riddle  of  claret  as  "  thirteen 
Iwttles,  a  magnxun  and  twelve  quartfi.  The 
name  comes  from  the  fact  that  tlie  wine  is 
brought  in  on  a  literal  riddle.  '  giving  es  its 
authority  '  X,  &  Q.,'  7  S.  \'iii.  13  ( I88«).  No 
explanation,  however,  is  i^ven  of  the  origin 
of  the  custom  of  servmg  wine  in  this 
way.  or  why  a  riddle  wf^  first  ust-d  for  the 
purpose. 

As  far  as  I  can  discover,  the  only 
occasions  on  which  claret  is  now  serx-ed  in  this 
manner  are  the  dinners  of  the  Royal  Company 
of  Archers  (the  King's  Bodyguard  for 
Scotland).  The  memlicrs  of  this  Company 
compete  for  various  prizes,  among  which  are 
the  Edinburgh  Arrow,  the  Musselburgh  .\rrow, 
the  Selkirk  ^\rrow,  and  the  Peebles  Arrow. 
The  first-named  is  shot  for  every  year, 
the  Musselburgh  Arrow  occasionally;  the 
others  seldom,  if  ever,  nowadays.  After 
the  competition  the  Archers  dine  together, 
and  entertain  the  magistrates^  and  Town 
Council  of  the  burgh  w  hose  arrow  was 
the  subject  of  competition.  The  magis- 
trates in  turn  present  the  Archers  with  a 
riddle  of  claret  "  in  accordance  with  ancient 
usage."  See  *  The  History  of  the  Royal 
Company  of  .-Vrchers,'  by  J.  Balfour  Paul, 
p.  31»  (Will.  Blackwood  &  Sons.  1875).  The 
same  authority  tells  us  that  when  the  Peebles 
Arrow  was  shot  for  the  competitors  "  did 
full  justice  to  a  capital  dimier,  not  forgetting 
the  usual  riddle  of  claret"  (p.  347).  We 
also  find  that  at  Selkirk  in  1 823  "  a  riddle  and 
a  half  of  claret  *'  was  given  by  the  to\vn.  In 
the  same  year  at  Peebles  the  Provost  is 
described  as  *'  kindly  giving  the  party  a 
bottomless  riddle  to  induce  them  to  come 
back  soon  again  *'  (p.  137). 

The  Edinburgh  Arrow  was  shot  for  lately, 
and  at  the  dinner  which  was  given  a  few 
wooUh  ago,  in  the  Archers'  Hall,  the  magis- 
trates and  Town  Council  were  entertained, 
and  presented  the  Company  with  tlie  usual 
"  riddle  of  claret."  Perhaps  some  of  the 
readers  of  *  N.  A  Q.'  may  be  able  to  tlirow 
some  light  on  this  old  custom.

Barnstaple.  —  An  Index  to  the  two 
In^mnes  of  the  Records  of  this  borough 
|Hk  isAiied  soon  after  the  pubhcation  of  the 
*TOhime«.  To  pre^'ent  misundeTst-anding.  I 
would  Ht-ate  that  fair  transcripts  of  the 
original  documents  are  eontnined  in  tht'se 
volumes,  which  consist  cliiefly  of  extractH 
relating  the  princii^al  incidents  in  tlie 
history'  of  the  town,  and  illustrating  the 
manners,  customs,  and  municipal  govern- 
ment of  its  inhabitants  at  different  periods. 

Thos.  Wainwbioht. 
Barnstaple. 

Bath.— Mr.  Austin  J.  King  and  Mr.  B.  H. 
Watts  (Town  Clerk)  publisiied,  "with  the 
approval  of  the  Town  Council,  and  at  the 

rual  request  of  the  Bath  Literary  Society/' 
first  portion  of  '  Tlie  Municipal  Records  of 
Bath.*  The  period  covered  is  1189  to  1604. 
There  is  no  date  on  tlie  title-jwge,  but  foot- 
notes allow  that  publication  is  since  Novem- 
ber, 188-1.  Both  autliors  are  dead.  They 
gKomised  a  continuation  of  the  Records 
wliioh  they  )iad  **  in  pre})aration,'*  and  there 
Wia  also  to  be  an  Index.  I  am  not  aware 
tbat  they  lived  to  retleeni  their  promise,  or 
that    any    other    hand    lias    taken    up    the 

Kk.  The  publisiied  portion  deals  with 
ke  c har t ers,  and  ( in  api )endice8 )  gives 
k  of  charters,  grants,  WTits,  commissions. 
deods,  and  wills.  There  are  also  extracts 
firoin  the  Chamberlain's  accounts. 

Bristol. — There  are  many  printed  books 
dealing  with  our  municipal  records.  The 
Corporation  publisiied  *  The  Little  Red 
Book  '  mentioned  by  Mk.  Rhodes.  It  lias 
also  (Xovember.  1909)  publisiied  a  *  Calendar 
of  the  Charters.  Ac,  of  tlie  City  and  County 
of  Bristol,'  compiled  by  the  late  Jolm 
Latimer,  and  edited  by  Alderman  W.  R. 
Barker,  elmirman  of  the  Museum  and  Art 
Gallery  Committee  of  the  Corporation. 
There  is  no  Index,  but  a  uaeful  abstraot  is 
printed  at  the  end. 

iVnd  Ix^sides  this  Calendar  and  the  book 
of  Charters  (1730)  named  by  Ma.  Rhodes, 
there  are  others,  notably  "  the  Charters 
and  Letters  Patent  gr^uxted  by  the  Kings 
and  Queens  of  England  to  the  Town  and 
City  of  Bristol.  Newly  translated,  and 
aooornpanied  by  the  original  Latin.  By 
'  the  Rev.  Samuel  Seyer,  M.A."  (1812).  No 
Index. 

John  Latimer's  '  Annals  of  Bristol '  also 
include  *  Annals  of  the  Nineteenth  Century,' 
and  '  Sixteenth-C-entury  Bristol.'  a  posthum- 
ous book  (1908).  The  second  Latimer 
published  as  a  aeries  of  newspaper  articles 


under  the  title  of  '  The  Corporation  of  Bristol 
in  the  Olden  Time.'  It  is  chiefly  founded 
on  extracts  from  the  ci\ic  account -books, 
deeds  and  documents,  and  the  minutes  of  the 
Pri\'5'  Council.     Each  book  has  an  Index. 

Mii.  Rhodes  is  mistaken  in  saying  that 
Latimer's  '  History  of  the  Society  of  Mer- 
chant Venturers  of  the  City  of  Bristol  *  lias 
no  Index.      It  has  one. 

In  1872  the  Camden  Society  published 
(Miss  Lucy  Toulmin  Smith  editor)  *' The 
Mairo  of  Bristowe  is  Kalendar,  by  Robert 
Rieart.  Town  Clerk  of  Bristol  18  Edward  IV." 
Good  Index. 

'  Bristol  Past  and  Present,'  by  J.  F. 
Nicholls,  F.S.A..  and  John  Taylor  (both 
ptiblie  librarianH),  was  published  in  1881-2 
m  three  volumes,  and  includes  a  large 
amoimt  of  information  obtained  from  the 
city  archives,  access  to  which  is  always 
readily  given  for  any  propter  purpose.  Each 
volume  is  indexed. 

'  Notes  or  Abstracts  of  the  Wills  contained 
in  the  Volume  entitled  "  The  Great  Orplian 
Rook  and  Book  of  Wills  "  in  the  Council 
House  at  Bristol,*  by  tJie  R*'v.  T.  P.  Wadley, 
was  published  by  rlie  Bristol  and  Gloucester- 
shire Archax>logical  Society  in  1886.  It 
has  an  excellent  Index. 

A  liook  (2  vols.)  which  contains  a  neat 
deal  uf  municipal  matti'r  is  Thomas  Jolm 
Mancliee's  *Tl»e  Bristol  Cliarities,  lieing  the 
Report  of  the  Commissioners  for  inqxiiring 
ronceining  Charities  in  England  and 
Wales,  so  far  as  relates  to  the  Charitable 
Institutions  in  Bristol'  (1831).  It  has  an 
Index.  At  the  time  of  the  inquiry,  the 
Corporation  liad  43  charities  and  gifts  in  ita 
charge,  including  the  Grammar  School* 
tlie  Red  Maids'  School,  and  Queen  Eliza- 
beth's Hospital  (a  school  founded  on  the 
lines  of  Christ's  Hospital). 

Mr.  WalttT  A,  Sampson  has  written  in 
two  small  volimiGs  the  historj-  of  the  Red 
Maids*  School  and  Queen  Elizal^eth's  Hospi- 
tal reapeotively.     Neither  i.s  indexed. 

These  are  but  a  few  of  the  books  tliat 
contain  matter  (much  or  little)  quoted  from* 
or  founded  on.  Bristol's  municipal  records ; 
Bcveral  relate  to  tlie  administration  of  the 
docks  estate  which  tJie  Corporation  own*. 
One  such  book  was  published  last  year, 
entitled  '  A  Short  History  of  the  Port  of 
Bristol  '  ;  my  ovm  compilation,  with  an 
Index.  I  am  one  of  many  who  hope  to  see 
the  Cor jx»Tat ion's  *  Great  Red  Book  '  pub- 
lished. It  would  further  illustrate  civic 
life  in  the  Middlo  Ages.

The  infonuation  given  by  Mr.  Jaooard 
as  to  the  Liverpool  records  niay  be  a  little 
misleading.  The  nmnicipal  reoordH  liave 
never  been  published,  oir  J.  A.  Picton's 
two  volumes  contain  only  selections,  \}oor\y 
arranged  and  badly  indexed.  The  so- 
called  new  edition  of  1907  consisted  of  slieots 
of  the  second  volume  boimd  up  into  parts 
with  illustrations  added. 

The  earliest  Town  Council  Book  begins  in 
the  sixteenth  centiu^-.  and  a  transcript  of  it 
has  recently  been  made  by  Mr.  J.  A.  Twem- 
low,  and  will  shortly  be  issued  as  one  of  the 
publioations  of  the  Universitj'  School  of 
Local  History. 

Afi  regards  the  charters,  many  of  tJiese, 
with  other  ijuportant  Liverpool  documents, 
are  printed  in  Prof.  Muir  and  Miss  Piatt's 
'  History  of  Mimiciiwil  Government  in 
Liverpool,'  IflOfi.  In  addition  to  this 
tliere  are  notes  on  the  chart^srs  in  Vol 
XXXVI.  of  the  Tratiaactions  of  the  Historic

AuriEBi  IS  England  (II  S.  ii.  421). — 
Mb.  Archer's  note  is  intt'resting  ;  but  I 
tliiriU  the  statement  tliat  it  was  in  177*2  tltat 
Altieri  ijarted  from  liis  mistress  at  Rochester, 
and  returned  to  Tm*in,  is  erroneous. 

According  to  the  '  Vita,  scritta  da  esfto ' 
(I  quote  from  wluit  is  ap])nrpntly  the  first 
ed.,  "  Londra.  1804,"  but  evidently  printed 
in  Italy),  Alfieri  left  England  "\'er80  il  finer 
di  Giugno  *'  (i.  177),  and  tliat  clearly 
was  June,  1771.  For  he  left  Turin  in  1769, 
itnd  aft^r  trftvclUng  in  Russia.  Prussia,  and 
Holland,  towardn  the  end  of  November  he 
left  tlie  Hague,  and  after  a  few  days  arrived 
in  London,  whore  he  stayed  about  seven 
months  (i.  152).  Allowing  for  the  time 
taken  up  in  travelling,  this  would  bring  his 
leaving  England  to  about  the  time  stated — 
near  the  end  of  June,  1771. 
E\-en  if  these  dates  were  not  so  clear, 
Jt    wou  Id    be    inipodsible   to   au^^o^   tU&t 


Alfieri  remained  with  Lady  Ligonier  for 
nearly  a  year,  **  freraendo  e  bestemmiaodo 
deir  esserA'i.  e  non  mc  ne  potendo  pure  a 
niun  conto  se^wrarv.*'  The  exprevsioii  *'  per 
varie  provincie  dell*  Inghilteara  **  must  not 
be  taken  too  literally. 

That  the  Juno  when  Alfieri  left  England 
was  in  1771  is  clear  also  from  his  subsequent 
proceedings  before  reaching  Turin.  From

left  Paris  about  the  middle  of  August  for 
Spain  (i.  1 80).  He  stayed  at  Barcelona 
until  early  in  November,  ("  ai  prirai  di 
Novembre,"  i.  182),  and  in  Madrid  until 
early  in  December,  reaching  Lisbon  on 
Christmas  Eve  (**  dopo  circa  venti  giomi  di

started  for  Seville,  and  was  in  Valentia  st 
the  end  of  March,  and  thence,  by  Tortosa, 
reached  Barcelona ;  aud  after  a  hurried 
journey  by  land  and  sea  to  Genoa.  arri\'ed  at 
Turin  on  the  6th  of  May.  1772,  after  thre« 
years'  absence  (i.  193). 

Is  it  not  more  probable  that  Alfieri's 
visit  to  Bellefields  (if  the  tradition  is  true) 
was  during  his  fourth  visit  to  F.ngljmd, 
with  the  Countess  of  Albany,  from  April  to

I  Mansex  Faxxi^y  (11  8.  U.  269).~A 
I  decade  or  two  ago  I  had  occasion  to  devote 
some  time  and  attention  to  the  genealogy 
of  this  very  ancient  family  of  Glamorgan, 
from  whom,  1  take  it,  the  Manseli*  of  Somer- 
set, Bedford,  and  Buckinghamstiire  sprang. 
My  notes  are,  more  or  less,  compiled  from 
the  Kev.  J.  D.  Davies's  '  West  Gower  '  (part 
iv.)  :  the  Hansel  pedigree  (which  was 
deciphered  by  Walter  de  Gray  Birch  of  the 
B.M.) ;  the  pedigree  of  Mansel  by  Ralph 
Brooke,  York  Herald  of  Arras  ;  the  pedigree 
of  Mansel  by  J.  H.,  Ac. 

Ph il ip  Mansel  came  with  Wil liam  the 
Conqueror.  From  hia  heir,  Robert  Mansel, 
the  Somerset  branch  descended  ;  from 
John  Mansel,  Kt.,  the  Manaels  of  Wales  and 
Buckinghamshire.  John  married  and  liad 
issue  Heiuy  and  Sir  John  Mansel :  the  latter 
is  often  described  as  John  Mansel  Clericus. 
Sir  John,  heii%  became  Lord  Chief  Justice 
in  the  42nd  year  of  Henry  III.  and,  it  is  said* 
died  abroad  about  1266.  By  hw  marriage 
there  were  three  sons.  Thomas,  Heru"y,  and 
William.  Thomas,  Kt.,  was  killed  in  tlte 
Barons'  wars.  Ho  had  a  son  Henry,  the 
tirst  of  the  Mansols  to  settle  in  Wales  ;  Ills 
son  Sir  Walter  is  said  to  have  been  buried 
in  St.  Butolph's  without  Aldgate. 

He  had  a  son  Sir  Robert,  wno  in  turn  liad 
a  son  also  named  Robert.  The  latter's  son 
and  heir  was  Richard,  besides  whom  lie 
had  two  sons.  Philip  and  John.  Richard 
married,  and  had  vSir  Hugh,  who  married 
Tsal>el,  sister  and  heir  of  Sir  John  Penrice. 
Tlieir  only  son  Richard  married  (US?)  a 
Turberville,  and  had  issue  several  children. 
John,  the  heir,  married  "  Cecilie,"  their  issue 
being  Philip.  The  latter's  family  con- 
sisted of  Alice,  who  married  Sir  Matthew 
Cradock.  and  another  daughter,  and  a  son 
Jenkin,  who  married  Edith,  daughter  and 
coheiress  of  Sir  George  Kyne  or  Kene,  Kt, 
{•'  by  Cecil,  dau.of  King  Edward  IV."  )■  Their 
son  and  heir,  Sir  Rice  Mansel,  born  1480, 
WAS  knighted  between  1520  and  1626  and 
died  in  1559.  He  was  tliree  times  married  : 
by  his  third  wife.  **  Cecily,"  dau.  of  Wm. 
D*Abridgcourt.  Esq..  he  liad  issue  Sir  Edward 
Mansel.  (The  marriage  contract  of  Sir 
Rice  Mansel  is  among  the  Penrice  MSS, 
Sir  Rice  or  Rhys  Mansel  in  liis  will,  among 
other  properties  named,  left  to  Sir  Edward 
aforesaid  and  a  brother  ''  one  howae  Scytuat

&c.)  Sir  Edward  Mansel  of  Margam  married 
Lady  Jane  Somerset,  tlieir  issue  being  fifteen 
children :  Sir  Edward  is  said  to  liave  died  in 
1631.  His  son  and  iieir.  Sir  Thomas,  was

Sir  Edward's  second  son  and  heir,  Sir 
Thomas,  succeeded  liis  father  in  1706.  and 
was  made  a  (x^r  in  1711.  By  his  marriage 
with  Martha  Millington  there  were  issue 
Robert.  Chriatopher,  Buss^'.  and  three 
daughters.  Robert  married  Anne,  dau.  of 
Sir  Cloudesley  Shovel,  Kt.,  and  died  in 
1723,  leaving  a  daughter,  and  a  son  Thomas, 
who  was  born  in  1719,  became  Becond  Lord 
Man«el,  and  died  about  1740.  He  was  followed 
by  his  uncle  Christopher,  who  became  third

Son-in-law,  the  Rev.  Tliomas  Talbot ;  thus

I  may  add  two  or  three  items.  I  find

Shovel  left  two  daughters  :  the  elder  married 
Lord  Romney,  and  the  younger  Sir  Nar-

Goats  and  Cowb  (U  S.  ii.  466).— The 
practice  of  keeping  a  goat  among  a  lierd  of 
cows  to  prevent  abortion  is  by  no  means 
confined  to  Leicestersliire.  It  must  l>e  a 
*'  Billy  "  goat,  and  the  more  it  stinks  the 
better. 

How  tlie  charm  works  nobody  knows. 
Since  T  introduced  a  he-goat  among  my 
shorthorns,  abortion  has  ceased.  Pre- 
viously it  was  very  troublesome.

Upon  a  farm  at  Braunstone,  near  f^ireatfr, 

where  I   stayed  some  twenty  years  ago  at 

intervals,  it  was  an  old  custoni   to  keep  a 

goat  or  two  with  each  group  of  cows.     Upon 

mquiring  tho  reason,  I  was  lokV  W\aX  the 


goat,  an  animal  not  easily  alarmed,  has  a 
soothing   effect    n|K>n    a  cow's   nerx'es,  and 
thus    helped    to    ensure    the    quality    *n<\ 
quantity   of   tlie   milk   supply.     Near   Urgi^ 
towns   stray    dogs    ore   sometimes   a    ff^Kr^

kept,  'and  I   think  the  idea  wa«  that  nowly     i

I  have  always  been  laioiliar  with  tha 
belief  that  where  many  cows  are  kept  it  m 
good  to  let  a  Nanny  or  a  Billy  goat  rmi 
with  them,  to  hinder  the  cows  from  c^ 
slipping  ;  and  I  have  seen  goats  with  tw 
COWB  whilst  in  the  fields.

— ^The  present  wherealwuts  of  the  letter 
from  Rousseau  to  Davenport  may  not  lx»  easy 
to  ascertain,  but  the  nature  of  its  contents 
ought  not  to  be  difficult  to  Kurmiae.  On  the 
invitation  of  David  Hume,  HousHeau  came 
to  England  in  1706,  arriving  in  lA>ndon  in 
January.  In  March  the  same  year  iie  took 
up  }ii«  abtide  at  VVootton  in  Derbyshire, 
w^iore,  by  Hume's  arrangement,  he  resided 
in  the  houm*  of  Mr.  Davenport.  Within 
a  veri'  Hhort  time,  howe\'er,  Kouaseau 
quarrelled  bitterly  wilii  both  Hume  and 
Davenport.  A  letter  written  Konie  time 
previously  by  Horace  Walpole,  in  the  name 
of  the  King  of  Prussia,  and  reflecting  severely 
on  Rousseau's  moral  infirmities,  ap]>eared 
in  the  English  neivspapera.  This  letter 
Rousseau  persisted,  in  spite  of  strenuous 
denial,  in  attributing  to  Htimo.  and  probably 
regarded  DavoniK)rt  as  his  accomplice.  In  a 
state  of  furious  indignation  he  left  Derby- 
shire, and  liastened  back  to  France.  TJio 
letter  dated  *'  Dou\Tes,  IS  Mai.  1767,"  was  no 
doubt  a  kind  of  iwrting  shot  before  Hous.seau 
left  the  shores  of  thif*  country.         W.  S.  S.

ComT  (II  S.  ii.  487).— There  were  tlirve

had  business  in  the  City  as  a  director  of  the 
South  Sea  Company,  and  was  also  Master 
of  the  Salters'  Company,  bis  hotiso  is  almost

Oxford  Courts,  t.«.,  tliat  in  Cannon  Street, 
where  was  anciently  tlie  house  of  the  Prior 
of  Tortington.  Thu*  Tortington  in  South-

With  the  exception  of  Watt,  I  know  of 
no  bibliographer  who  mentions  Mie  *  Let- 
ters by  An  American  Spy.*  In  Watt  the 
work  appears  as  an  anonynioiw  production. 
If  I  may  be  i>erinitt«d  to  haaard  a  guess  as  to 
tl«3  authorship  of  the  '  Letters,'  I  »hould  bo 
inclined  to  suggest  Samuel  Curwen  as  the 
writer.  In  1 842  there  appejued  at  New 
York  A  book  with  the  following  title  ; — 

"Journal  %nd  L«tt«rsof  the  late  iSamuel  Curwen. 
Judure  of  AtlmiriUt^.  Ac,  an  American  KefuKee  in 
Rngland,  from  L/;i  to  17H4  :  oompriniiip;  Renmrki*

I  suspect  this  to  be  an  enlarged  and  re\nised

'  Cin7RCHYABD8   (11   S.  Ji.    38ft.  453.  492).— I 

fibould   like    briefly  to    second  the   remarks 

fto  ably  put  by  Mr.  P.  C.  Rushes,  a-*  to  the 

[  advisability  of  pushing  on  with  tlie  work  of 

traziBoribing  outdoor  or  graveyard    inscrip- 

tions.      Any  one  t-o  whom  the  subject  is  new 

naturally  brackets  churcli  with  churcliyard 

memorials  ;    and  not  for  one  moment  is  it 

'   suggested  that  the  former  are  a  negligible 

I   qoAntity.     Indeed,  memorial  for  memorial, 

I  it  cannot  be  cont-ested  tliat  indoor  inscrip- 

I  lions  are  nearly  alwaj-s  the  more  important. 

I  In  th©  majority  of  cases  both  classeK  need 

attention.     Still,  as  a  general  rule,  it  may  be 

«aid    tliat    in   every   printed    account    of   a 

•^'hurcli  some  notice  is  taken  of  the  monu- 

j  inent«   therein.     On   the   other    liand,    it   is 

(improbable  that  more  than  one  out  of  every 

^twenty   graveyards   have   had  a  single   one 

•*>f  their  inscriptions  printed — added  to  which, 

the  corresponding  memorials  are  continually 

^lerishing. 

Another    point ,    not    mentio  ned    by   Mb. 
TicSHEN,    is   that    the   great   families   com- 
^uemorated  on  indoor  memorials  are  becom- 
ing   increasingly    obsolete    for    genealogical 
purposes,   in  the  sense  of  being   associated 
with    surxnving    descendants.     The    always 
Augmenting  numb(»rs   of   prominent   British  I 
and  Colonial   families  sprung  from   humble  ■ 
ntock  will  continue  to  add  to  the  value  of ' 
iirdinary     graveyard     records,     t'uon     the  | 
whole,  workers  in  this  field  are  well  advised  | 
in   declining,    for   the    present    at    least,    to  , 
shackle  themselves  with  added  indoor  work,  i 
The  outdoor  work  is  as  yet  ho  vast,  and  so  I 
little  touched,  as  wliolly  to  absorb  the  time  ' 
energy  of  all  available  volunteers.  ' 


On©  further  }>oint,  which  I  especially 
desire  to  emphasize,  is  the  desirability  of 
absolutely  exhaustive  work.  Things  are  not 
as  they  Ktiould  bo  when  an  inquirer  after  a 
particular  surname,  say,  is  directly  or  vir- 
tually assured  that  it  does  not  exist, 
l)ecause  it  happens  to  occur  on  a  partially 
buried  or  moas-coated  stone.  I  do  not  by 
any  means  wish  U)  discourage  transcribers 
who  cannot  undertake  the  implied  tasks, 
but  the  incidental  laounte  of  incomplete 
transcripts  sliould  bo  definitely  indicated, 
for  the  benefit  of  future  investigators.  Some 
surprising  experiences  iu  the  work  of  chrfking 
transcripts  cause  me  to  make  this  renifirk. 
In  one  case,  after  two  days*  work  iu  digging 
and  flushing  operations,  ii\  a  by  no  means 
difficult  graveyard,  I  succeeded  iu  adding 
about  one-third  further  data  to  a  professedly 
complete  transcript.  A.  Stapleton.

Brj^CK  AND  Red  Rats  (11  S.  ii.  465). — 
Lundy  Tsle  is  reputed  to  be  one  of  the 
few  places  in  this  country  where  the  black 
rat  still  exists.  The  island  is  situates!  in  the 
Bristol  Channel,  about  20  miles  to  seaward 
from  tlie  Bar  outside  Bamstaj)le  Bay. 

The  late  John  Uobetts  Chanter  in  his 
*  Lundy    Island  '    { 1 877)    records  : — 

"The  old  Ennliah  black  mt,  Afuit  t^ttut,  is  the 
inflTnennn*<,  ami  until  re^iently  wa«  the  only  ni»ecieB 
ou  tlu>  iHlaiid;  hut  of  late  years  the  Norway.  uT 
liruwn  rat,  has  found  hin  way  thero,  nio«t  prohably 
from  some  shipwreoked  veeitel.  It  l)i(l»  fair  to 
exterminate  the  native  breed." 

Grose  in  his  description  of  Lundy,  in 
1775,  says  :— 

"  Rata  are  so  numerous  here  aa  to  be  \'ery  trouble- 
some. They  are  all  of  the  block  sort,  the  Kroat 
brown  rat,  wliioh  has  extiritated  this  kind  all  over 
Britain,  not  havinK  yt?t  found  its  way  hert-." 

Mr.  Chanter  says  that  tho  Rev,  Hudson 
O.  Heaven  in  1877  reported  the  brown  rat 
as  increasingly  numerous,  and  the  blark 
rat  nearly  extinct.  **Tiio  brown  rats  prin- 
cipallv  frequent  the  south  end,  and  Rnt 
Island — in  that  locality — swarms  with  them. 
They  ore  believed  to  feed  largely  on  fish,  as 
well  as  on  limpeu  and  otlicr  littoral  prey.

Shaktmeait  (u  a  Groom  of  the  Chamlrtr.     By  Ernest 

Law.  Tlliwtrated.  (Bell  &  Sons.) 
This  well]»rinte<l  book  of  sixty-four  |>aKes  puta  in 
tt  clear  and  interesting  light  two  assooislionfl  of 
Shakespeare  with  the  Court  of  King  James  I.  The 
|K>et  and  his  fcllow-mombera  of  the  King's  oomnany 
were  each  Kiven  four  and  a  half  yards  of  **  red  cloth, 
against  his  Majesties  RovaU  Proceeding  through  the 
Citie  of  London"  on  15  March.  1604.  Are  we  to 
infer  from  this  passage,  as  HalliwolI-Phi!lir>j»s 
deolared,  that  Shakespeare  and  hia  followB  marched 
in  the  Rf»vftl  Proocftsion?  Mr.  r>aw  saya  that  we 
VAiinot.  following  Dr.  Furnix-all.  The  procession 
-waa  a  deferred  part  of  the  Coronation,  and  the 
allowance  of  doth  was  given  to  all  Borts  of  people 
■who  oonid  Imrdly  have  accompanied  the  sovereign 
in  his  progre«i>.  Further,  the  four  or  five  accounts 
of  it-  three  of  them  written  by  dramatists  of  note — 
make  no  mention  of  the  players,  nor  are  they 
included  in  contemiiorary  and  official  records  of  the 
occasion.  But  in  the  funeral  proceasirm  of  King 
Jatnes  the  players  did  ligure,  having  received  an 
Allowance  of  bUok  clotii.  The  cavalcade  in  this 
cawf  amounted  to  no  fewer  than  5,000  persons. 
Another  reference  to  Shakesi>earc.  alac  in  1604,  was 
given  by  Halliwell-PhiUipps  in  The  Athemrum  of 
1K7I.  He  stated,  without  givinu  hia  authority,  that 
King  Jaraes  ordered  every  member  of  Shakespeare's 
compiiny  toatteiyiftt  jyomereet  House  on  tfterooaial 


envoy  of  the  King  of  Sjiain.  Mr.  Law  has  dis- 
covered the  document-,  also  puhlishcd  hy  Mrs.  Stoi:»eM 
iAthttt'Vum,  V2  March  of  this  yeju).  It  record 
jiayments  to  I'hilliitijs  and  Hemynges  "  for  tir 
allowance  of  thems«lvt>«  and  tenne  of  their  fellowes 
his  Ma''^  (irooraes  of  the  Chamber  and  Player*," 
aa  payment  for  eighteen  days'  attendance.  21?.  l^^. 
Shakespeare  himself  is  not  mentionorl,  but  '*only' 
by  his  uielusiou  among  the  'tenne  of  their  fellowes' 
can  the  full  compleroont  of  the  King's  pUyerw  bfr 
aooouated  for." 

The  details  Mr.  Law  supplies  concerning  the 
magnifioent  entertainment  given  to  the  Sjianisii 
representative  are  of  highintecest.  He  cornea  to  the 
conolnsion  that  the  duticM  of  the  players  were  "to 
BtaTid  about  and  look  pleasant."  As  for  the  fee,  it 
is  twice  given  as  2W.  I'i.,  and  onoe  aa  21/.  14«.  by 
a  slip  fp.  42),  and  was  worth,  Mr.  Law  says,  about 
eight  tin»es  as  much  hy  present  reckoning.  He 
adds  that  this  is  the  only  public  function -ai»art. 
of  oounw,  from  performances  of  the  plavs  -  at  which 
HhakespMre,  even  inferentially,  ii(?ured— "  the  only 
instance,  in  fact,  which  we  can  give  of  an  appear- 
ance of  his  anywhere,  except  in  his  private  and 
domestic  oajiaeity."  One  might  infer,  however, 
that  hia  bearing  of  the  canoi»y  mentioned  in  the- 
Sonnets  (No.  125)  referred  to  some  public  ocitasion. 

The  book  includes  two  views  of  Somerset  House^ 
and  a  reproduction  of  the  picture  of  English  «m1 
Spanish Commissionersassembled  in ]6(M.  SoimerMt 
House  was  lent  by  the  Queen  for  the  occasion  to. 
the  Constable  of  Castile,  who  poured  out  bribes  for 
English  statesmen  in  great  profusion. 

We  thank  Mr.  Law  for  an  adn-irahlo  piece  of 
work.  All  such  well" documented"  details  are 
of  great  value  to  the  student. 

Axel  Oxknmtikrxa's  phrase  ooneerning  the  little- 
wisdom  with  wliioh  the  world  is  go^•emed  receivos' 
notice  in  more  than  one  recent  number  of  L'lnttr- 
7nt'diaii-fi,  and  the  custom  of  binding  books  in  human 
skin  is  also  discussed.  "Prof.  Coniil,  who  was  a 
Senator,"  says  one  oorrespoudent,  "  was  an  ardent 
bibliophile.  Ho  waapleoaed  tohave  several  volumes- 
bound  in  human  akin,  using  tattoo- marks  as  decora- 
tive subjects  for  the  sides." 

The  peroentaKc  4if  the  different  sooial  oIoBBes- 
guillotined  during  the  French  Revolution  is  tme  of 
the  moat  iotereeting  queations  lately  proinsed. 
Une  forrrapondent  remarks  that  it  is  erronoona 
to  lielieve  tnat  the  Terror  s|»eoially  attacked  iioble6» 
jfriest-a,  and  jwrsons  jirivilosod  hy  theancienrfVinw- 
After  much  research,  he  has  come  to  the  ooncluaiotk 
that  out  of  every  three  victims,  two  were  working- 
]»e(ttile,  among  whom  were  peasanta.  artlaana, 
pluimh  lads,  soldiers,  maidservants,  dreasmakera., 
serving-men,  sailors,  and  rag-pickers. 

The  solemn  restitution  of  the  keys  of  Mcxiet> 
by  France  to  the  Mexican  Republic  comes  in  for 
deserved  attention.  An  act  so  courteous  is  well 
worth  recording,  and  it  ia  interesting  t<j  read  that 
the  green,  white,  and  carmine  standards  which  had 
been  taken  by  the  French  trooi>a  wore  restored  to 
Mexico  at  the  same  time. 

The  number  of  L' InttrmMiaire.  for  the  20th  of 
September  contains  an  account  of  Alphonsine 
Pleasifl,  known  as  Marie  Duplessis,  the  courtesan 
whom  Dumas  HIm  idealizeii  as  "La  Damo  aux 
Cam^liaa."  l*hifl  unfortunate,  who  died  of  lung 
disease  at  twenty-three,  leaving  her  .sister  100, 
francs,  had  a  wretchea  childhood,  during  whi 
idured  inHnite  degradation.
